Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the descriptive descriptive
causes of youth's deviance and deviation from religion, and ways to
get out of it based on verses and narratives. The results of this study
indicate that this problem is not caused by the essence of religion, but
rather by causes such as inadequate presentation of religion,
incompatibility of religion with reason and science, poverty,
psychosis, environment, epistemic weakness, and so on. The Holy
Quran as a comprehensive set of scriptures and traditions of the
Prophet (peace be upon him) has offered many solutions such as
strengthening the faith, purifying the environment, careful selection
of comrades, and so on.

Keywords: Religion, Qur'an, Hadith, Young People's Deviation, Causes, Cures
Problem Statement
According to Islam, human beings have a religious nature and
religion is a fact that is not contrary to nature. Religious
tendencies need not be sought because it is based on nature;
rather, one must seek to understand why human beings are
inclined towards religion. The factors of evasion fall into the
form of pests, deterrents and barriers, beyond religious thought
and inclinations to religion, and provide grounds for evasion,
and anti-religionism. The question now is why a man who is
inherently eager for religion and whose innate connection with
the intrinsic elements of religion has developed into a
materialistic, religious religion has turned to religion and
promotes this ominous phenomenon.
