The manual stresses on recruiting college and school students. However, there is a strict word of advice to avoid misers, disloyal youth and loud mouths.

It lists three points on how the handler is to ensure that the youth is taken into the jihadi fold. The responsibilities of the handler include:

• He must ensure that the candidate takes up the religious path as has been preached to him.
• He should ensure that the candidate becomes pious. Care should also be taken care of the fact that the candidate has no bias towards any political group.
• He should remain in close contact with the candidate. He is expected to go to the mosque with him and meet him for lunch every day during the three-week recruitment process. While at lunch he is expected to discuss with him Islamic affairs and also about the path of jihad. The brainwashing process commences at this time.
• He is also required to keep a constant tab on the movements of the candidate. The handler is also supposed to know who the candidate meets.

The third and the final phase of the recruitment is the most crucial. This is the phase when the actual brainwashing process commences. The handler lays a lot of emphasis on notions like hell and heaven. The candidate is repeatedly told that only the path of jihad will get him into heaven. He is also told that if the path of jihad is taken, his face will glow after his death apart from getting heavenly virgins after his death.
