00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Do not read the letters of others
if a letter is not intended for
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			you do not read it. So there's
privacy issues here. And people
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			sensible people know that. But
from a Sharia perspective as well,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			it's an Amana, you are not allowed
to read somebody else's letter
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			just like it's not right to
eavesdrop on someone, it's the
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			same thing to read their
correspondence. So if somebody's
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			gave you their phone to use or
whatever, and then they went out
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			somewhere for whatever reason, you
can start looking at their
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			browsing history, for example, or
their WhatsApp messages. And you
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			know, some phones they have they
pop up the message, the next
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			message or whatever, and you
should avoid, it should be
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			avoided. It's all about personal
discipline. This case, whether
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			somebody finds out or not, is not
the point. It's all about a
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			personal discipline. It's all
about personal accountability. And
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			the more we are more personally
accountable to ourselves for these
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			things when nobody else is
looking. That is how much closer
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			we'll be to Allah subhanho wa
Taala because we only do it for
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
because Allah is watching
