"Surely God will leave those who believe among you and the people who were given some degree of knowledge. And Allah knows what you do. " So also faith will be realized if based on the mastery of a broad and strong faith.
Mastery of knowledge, faith and robustness of godly perfection is what should be a goal for every Muslim youth today. If this goal can be achieved by the young generation Muslims, then they'll get labeled a younger generation of modern Muslims.
