The answer

Young people must balance the pursuit of religious knowledge with their regular studies to avoid neglecting their homework and academic duties, which negatively impacts their families and leads parents to prevent their children from attending religious study circles. To achieve this balance, they should:

1. Maintain good companionship: This helps in utilizing time effectively and organizing affairs.

2. Preserve time: Time is a person's life, and it must be utilized efficiently in both religious knowledge and academic studies.

3. Organize time: Allocate specific hours for sleep, seeking religious knowledge, and university lectures.

4. Focus on university studies: This is a short path that paves the way for dedicating oneself to seeking religious knowledge.

5. Apply religious knowledge: The effect of knowledge should be evident in the student's behavior and increase their dutifulness towards their parents.

One must always seek Allah's help for guidance and success.
