			One of the biggest challenges that we face in the days that we live in, whether we're outside in
public, whether we're looking at our phones is the ability to control our gates. And to not look at
that which is haram and displeasing to Allah subhanaw taala Subhanallah fitness everywhere
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:56
			as believers Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us in the Quran only Mina your good domain I'm sorry
him oh yeah for the for Raja home Tell the believing males to lower their gaze and to protect their
private port so they don't fall into that which is haram and we don't realize the power of what we
look at and the effect that it has on us. Subhanallah that's why law says immediately after in the
area, that he can escape alone, that this is more purifying for them. When you know your gaze,
you're purifying your heart when you're looking at that which is haram, you actually corrupting and
polluting your heart and this is why we're putting a barrier between us and Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:30
			we look at that which is haram. Then Allah subhanaw taala reminds us at the end of the eye in Allah
hubbie you don't be myosin our own that indeed Allah is well acquainted with that what you're doing,
when we look at that which you've got your sunglasses on, and no one else can see your brother's
next to me saying don't look at that which is haram over there. And you're looking at the corner of
your eyes and I know I'm not looking, you remember and you remind yourself in Allah kabhi you don't
be mad just in their own that indeed Allah is well acquainted that what you do, no one else can see
you but Allah sees what you're doing know your gates.
