Sisters, I was going to give a reminder
about
I think maybe I'll give you guys a
piece of advice.
Maybe the reminder is the advice, but
I thought I'd speak to you guys like
a because
sometimes, you know, you give a reminder. It's
just more like people attend,
take the reminder, and they leave.
So,
I thought I'd give you guys a piece
of advice. Some of you guys may have
heard
it before, but I've just seen it
happen so many times
because of naivety,
k, and lack of experience how to deal
with these kind of situations.
And,
and because of that,
you see a very good sister.
You know, Allahumabarak,
she was a wonderful individual,
and then because of
some of her surroundings and her being naive
when being around certain individuals,
things start going really, really wrong. K?
K?
You guys have to understand, not everybody wants
to hear for you guys, and that's the
reality of it.
Sometimes you find people around you,
Yani, even though from the apparent day,
they act like they want care for you,
but the reality is they don't.
You know, there's a very powerful statement
that Uthman ibn Affan radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu he
mentioned. He said,
the Zania,
the fornicatress,
she wishes
that everybody else was like her as well.
Everybody else around her was a fornicatress.
Shaitan got the better of her.
She's now looked at society in a certain
way,
and it's very very painful because she is
the only one there who's being looked at
in that particular way,
and because,
okay,
she's being looked at in such a way,
she doesn't want to be the only person,
so she wants to drag everybody with her
as well.
She wants to drag everybody with her,
and,
of course, she's not going to make it
apparent. And sometimes people think that in order
to find out that so and so is
a person of falsehood, that they have to
make it clear, no, they don't,
And that's the reality. Like even the Shaitan,
if you think about it,
he swore by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
If you just look at this aya, it
has so many
it has so many, you know,
methods of showing, you know, the that
how how can I maybe put this in
the English language? Emphasis. Emphasis. There's a lot
of emphasis on no. I'm the one who
is a sincere adviser for you,
and when you study the Arabic language, you
find that, again, this a bit of takid.
La, again, there's another one.
And so on and so forth.
Just this ayah has so much emphasis that
he's saying to them, I'm a sincere adviser.
I want khair for you.
This is how the shaytaan was speaking to
them both.
And, likewise, the one who just comes and
starts rubbing themselves onto you is not going
to tell you that I'm here to misguide
you.
And my sisters, like, you have to understand
that there's sometimes one wrong move
that could be the reason as to,
you know, one thing leads to another. And
before you know it,
you're like in so much darkness.
Today, we're dealing with a completely different battle
as well, like a completely different monster. This
monster of social media, which has opened
a very different door, and I'm going to
come to a point that it's going to
maybe shock a couple of you guys.
There's many sisters that I've personally known.
Okay.
They were jilbabis.
Some of them were even nikabis.
And we know the Iba sister, she wears
these type of clothing a lot of the
time. She's not going to get the attention
that sisters
who are maybe half naked are going to
get
because she's covered.
And this cover that we as sisters wear,
not me not me, but, you know, we
as sisters over here,
It's meant to be there to kinda, like,
protect us from the opposite agenda.
Right?
So,
like, I've seen too many sisters
who I personally knew
because of what they looked at,
not because there was people around them who
were blabbing in the ear, but because of
what
them looking at something, it put disease in
their heart and then one
incident led to another.
One incident
led to another.
This is why Raul Iblis Fani he said
something very, very powerful
and I had to ask you to read
it so many times, SubhanAllah, to put 2
and 2 together with the situation that we
are living in today. He said,
1 doesn't become affected
only due to
what people say around him
and what people do around him. That's not
the only way a person becomes affected. He
said,
but also a person becomes really badly affected
due to what he looks at.
Because as the roadman, you know, we hear
these statements all the time. Right? I heard
actually on the streets.
But the eyes can't see,
the heart can't desire.
What the eyes can't see, the heart can't
desire.
This is why even Ibn Taymaha Muhammed Allahu
Ta'ala says,
lowering your gaze is from the greatest of
fundamentals of preserving your heart.
Because if you can't see it, then how
is that desire, that urge going to enter
into your heart? So a practicing
sister
who wears her Jilbaab or maybe even wears
her Niqab,
how does she turn from being like a
person like this,
and then she goes
and becomes the person who is sleeping around
with the opposite gender? How
does that happen so quickly? Wallahi, my sisters,
I've seen sisters take off the hijab
not because of people being around them.
She may have been a sister
who is just secluded in her room all
day every day.
She comes and straight away she goes inside
her room. She's sitting inside of a room
and she's just on her phone. You know
back in the day
when we had these very very big computers,
these Dell computers. Some of you guys may
remember or I don't know if you guys
were
too young to maybe see this, but you
had these very big computers with big backs.
Do you guys remember these computers?
They were computers.
If somebody wanted to do something haram, it
would be more difficult than what it is
today
because these big computers are where they're in
the living room.
If he's doing something he shouldn't be doing
and somebody comes past, he's gonna try and
switch it off.
But today, if you think about it, it's
become so easy to access filth and evil.
Filth
and evil.
And I don't even need to explain to
you guys how easy it is to access
it.
So point of the matter is my sisters,
a sister, she begins to look at things.
She begins to maybe start idolizing
some of these female YouTubers out there.
And then what happens?
The urge enters into her heart.
She begins to desire these kind of things.
She sees that other sisters online are getting
many, many likes.
But because she is dressed a certain way,
them likes are not coming in.
And the reality of the matter is women
love attention.
It's very, very.
A husband, if he's not giving attention to
his wife, she's gonna try and maybe desire
that attention from somewhere
else. It's just how Allah how Allah created
them.
She's not getting as much, you know, as
much attention. She's not getting these likes.
So as time goes on, in order to
increase these likes, what happens?
The material that's on her body starts, what,
becoming reduced
1 by 1.
And, of course, the woman who's half naked,
the
attention that she gets is not the same
as the woman who's just showing a bit
of skin.
Of course, it's not. The more skin
shows or a woman shows, the more attention
that she's going to get.
Even Imam Ghahtan
he mentioned some lines of poetry. He says,
These men who are looking
are women. They're like dogs.
This is a man saying this. And, yes,
my sisters,
I'm telling you this as a brother.
In the rijal and nadireen, it's that those
men who are looking at women, they're like
dogs.
Okay? They're like dogs who when they see
a piece of flesh, what do they do?
They start going around there. Right? They start
chasing after it,
And then he addresses the man.
If these pieces of flesh are not guarded
by the lions,
it's just going to be
taken like that without a replacement,
without anything in return.
And this is how men think.
They just wanna come after you. They wanna,
like, use and abuse it like a piece
of chewing gum, chew you and then spit
you out.
And a lot of the time you find,
you know, them contacting you on whatever
because if that individual really wanted you in
a halal way,
he's going to what? He's going to come
straight through the door.
He's not gonna try and creep through the
window, ever then.
That's how it starts. Okay? She's still not
getting that amount of attention
and then more skin starts showing,
more skin starts becoming apparent.
I know what happens with my sisters,
the attention increases, right? The DM start coming
in on Instagram
and because she's never been given that attention
before,
she is just blown away.
She is just blown away,
starts getting excited,
she starts getting these urges.
She begins to hear things that no one's
ever said to her.
And before you know it, my sisters,
they meet up,
you see,
and then the unexpected takes place.
Can you see my sisters, this whole cycle,
how it started
and how it ended?
And Wallahi, my sisters, it's happened to a
lot of individuals that I personally know.
And you think what happens?
Her mother never used to dress like that.
Her older sister never used to dress like
that. Her grandmother doesn't dress like that. Her
aunties don't dress like that, but all of
a sudden now she started dressing a certain
way because of what
what she started seeing online.
This shayateen that she was looking at, these
female YouTubers
online
who supposedly do Islamic Hijabi tutorials,
but in reality, they're
the hijab.
She saw them doing it and they urged
when inside
the heart.
So the point of the matter is, my
sisters,
be very, very careful.
Firstly,
with the sisters who are around you.
Okay. I'm not telling you to walk around
paranoid. No. But our religion, Allah
tells us that we need to have precaution
to a certain degree. Allah
says to us, take precaution, be wary. 1
shouldn't be stupid enough to just, like, walk
around,
you know,
drive himself into destruction.
1 has to be fatin. He has to
be smart. He has to be intelligent.
And that's one and also on social media.
Really, what you look at,
you know, it's just the beginning that sparks
the fire,
and we know that a small flame can
turn into what?
It can burn a building. It just starts
with a very small flame,
and SubhanAllah, when that sister reaches that stage
because she's already kind of like let herself
go that time,
what
happens? She keeps letting herself
go. And one faheshah leads to another, as
Iqnatayim mentioned.
If she doesn't put it to her end,
she doesn't do something about it that very
moment,
one thing is going to lead to another.
