Abstract
One of the main issues in encouraging young people to pray is the pathology of prayer. For this purpose, this article is an analytical-inferential method with a case study of Ardabil youth in 5 neighborhoods with the main component examining population density, population heterogeneity, inconsistency of goals and facilities, relationship with youth, and the culture of prayer pathology and their impact on youth. The statistical population is 300 people who have been selected from among the youth by three-stage quota, cluster, and simple random sampling method. The results of the analysis showed that the causes of weakness in youth prayer are internal and external factors; the meaning of internal factors is personal characteristics in terms of knowledge and awareness and the type of attitude of individuals and lack of awareness of the philosophy of prayer, as well as the moral weaknesses of the person praying, which makes the performance of prayer less important. Developmental harms of prayer mean that which harms the prayer of every person in the creation and outside of existence, such as the devil, how he acts and influences prayer, and how to create immunity against it and non-developmental harms. It is something that human beings have provided, such as cultural, economic, and political factors, each of which can cause severe damage to the body of prayer. The result of inferential analytical research conducted by random sampling among the youth of Ardabil shows that the vulnerability of external factors in terms of non-developmental with 54/5% has the highest statistics in the damage to youth prayer.
