Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei reiterated that one of the most effective ways to curb social harms is promoting prayers.

“Make efforts to make sure that not even one teenager or youth in the country becomes neglectful about prayers. This is one of the best ways to (ensure) spiritual and mental health for our people and society,” the Supreme Leader added.
