ere, "young" suggests that when doing something, one should
seek the assistance of young people and work with them.
H H Young people should be motivated to use their energy, dy-
namism, strength, ambition, and excitement for right action for Allah’s good
pleasure. Some of the verses speak of youth, and the following verse states
that only some young people of his nation believed in Musa (as):
No one believed in Musa, except [some] offspring [i.e., youths]
among his people, out of fear that Pharaoh and the elders would per-
secute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of
the profligate. (Surah Yunus, 83)
Surat al-Kahf 60 refers to the meeting point toward which Musa (as) is trav-
eling. Musa (as) knows that he will meet with someone and that this will take
place at the "meeting-place of the two seas." This place could be any place on
Earth that fits this description.
The term "even if I must press on for many years" indicates that the meet-
ing place was definitely agreed upon, because Musa (as) intends to go to that
particular place and not to any other, even if it takes him many years to reach
it, for it cannot take place anywhere else. For this reason, Musa (as) will do his
best to get there regardless of how long it will take. And, if need be, he will
wait there.
