AI: Summary ©
Dear respect to your brothers and sisters,
I thought when
the administration of the Rasjid
gave me this topic to speak about social
media,
especially in this time,
summer holidays,
I thought it was a great choice.
Because brothers and sisters, most of us would
agree
that one of the things today that is
destroying households,
that's causing a lot of problems in the
Muslim community.
Generally speaking, you find
that the root cause is social media.
Brothers and sisters, the other day
I read a
post.
And I said to myself, Sadah Arajul had
a this individual's truth in what he said.
This individual mentioned that social media is like
a drug.
Social media is like a drug.
One that passed
and he's getting these likes and these attentions.
He posts up a picture of himself
and the attention and the likes that he
received due to this post,
his mind floods with happiness.
And as soon he's not getting that attention,
he becomes depressed.
He's not getting that attention, he becomes depressed.
So a person now,
is as if he's on crack, and that's
exactly what crack does.
You smoke that crack, what happens?
A person's mind starts flooding with happiness, right?
It gets all over excited.
That's exactly how social media is.
A lot of people, brothers and sisters,
they might seem to be very very happy
on social media. A lot of these people
that we like, and then we spend hours
and hours watching on YouTube.
I've seen this in Haram.
Sometimes I was sitting there in the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's masjid,
you could see the depression and the stress
on his face.
As soon as he gets on the camera,
he starts smiling.
The camera goes off, he goes into depression
mode again.
1 person actually tried to watch him for
a few moments.
His face wide on that camera
was completely different from outside it.
Brothers and sisters,
come many morality.
How many women do we find in Shasulaimanur
Rahil from the teaching of the Haram? He
won't try and mention this.
How many women do we find today?
That was
disconnected from the fissen of the outside world?
Shyness.
She was abiding in our home.
Then maybe because
of a guy who contacted her,
he stripped the shyness of her,
and she became from the worst of women
Because of the attention this guy was giving
to her through social media.
A woman today, brothers and sisters,
she's inside of the home and outside of
the home at the same time. How is
that possible?
She barely goes
out. But all her pictures
are on the World Wide Web. That's what
www stands for.
You know, brothers and sisters,
sometimes
I tend to see that
some of us parents
might have too much of a hizm al
ban. Too much of good assumptions for our
children.
I'm not trying to say that we should
have this disease
of thinking bad about our kids all the
time because even the prophet salazar has warned
against it.
Beware of speculations and assumptions,
for indeed assumptions is the worst narration,
the most fabricated generation.
But at the same time, it's not correct
for us to become too complacent.
Brothers and sisters, I'm gonna mention some things
that is going to mind boggling you.
Some things that takes place in the universities,
behind the scenes. We see our daughters leaving
the home, brothers and sisters,
while they're wearing the hijab. We think to
Asad Masha'a, she's going
to Madrasah, she wears the hijab, she adorns
herself in the correct way.
How many young sisters brothers and sisters today?
As soon as they leave the home, the
hijab gets stripped.
She seems like the most pious sister
in the house.
The pictures that she is spreading on the
social media.
You think to yourself that these are 2
different completely
opposite people.
Am I totally oblivious,
unmindful
of the reality of the situation?
There's not a house today, brothers and sisters.
Barely you'll find, except that this
The shahr has entered into it, and this
is exactly what the prophet
mentioned.
Brothers and sisters,
before I move into the specific situations
of our young brothers and sisters,
I want to speak about the most important
thing,
which is Anaklas Suhil Amal
Having sincerity in our Ibadat.
Social media today, and this is one of
the
biggest structures of the shaykh man.
Our religion is built on what? Every Ibadan
that we do. We hear this hadith all
the
time.
No action is except except with the correct
intention.
When time and time again
We weren't commanded
except to worship Allah with
sincerity.
Our kids have memorized Suratul Bayina, that verse
inside there.
The intention of a person
that even a salif a salif,
the 3 golden generations,
they used to struggle to try and
stay sincere.
I haven't tried to cure
more than my intention.
Why? Because it goes from side to side.
So if they found it difficult, where do
we stand?
People have been brought up in Britain,
been brought up in Nigeria with chicken and
chips. That's what's become our food.
They struggled. Where do we stand? And on
top of that now, we have social media
that just totally destroys our iqlas.
We want everybody to see. We go to
the masjid, a guy takes a picture of
his foot, Muqleil time.
We go on to Hajj,
everybody watch me, look, I'm doing tawaf, I'm
in my, you know, ihram.
So many of my brothers and sisters went
down the drain.
Shaha Abdurazakh, a brother, another teacher from the
haram,
recently was speaking about this inside the Prophet's
Masjid, salamu alayhi wa sallam.
He said, I'm a long time sitting in
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's masjid
and a guy walked in.
Brother, the tashahood position.
The tashahood position
is normally only done inside the rakah. Right?
Without even an individual getting into the salat,
he goes into the shahad position.
His friend is on the other side and
the haram takes a picture.
He comes to the other side of the
meeting, takes another big shot.
He stands up and he goes. Brothers and
sisters,
was there any in this?
That position you only normally do in the
salah.
Is there this type of position that you
do normally without
Islam? As soon as the camera moved, the
brother stood up and he went. Grabbed the
brother and sheikh, grabbed the brother and advised
him.
Brothers and sisters, when I go to Makkah
while I was in Madinah,
one of the things that brings contention and
tranquility to my heart is the Sayyid Farah
Al Kaaba.
Not 1, not 2, not 3. How many
people come?
He does this.
He does this.
As soon as the camera move, the hand
drops.
Did you do that for Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala say? Or did you only do that
for the cameras? Because as soon as the
camera meant a
form of Ibadah,
a posture
of
You totally dropped your hands as soon as
the camera moved.
You'll be surprised how common this is. Not
1, not 2, not 3.
So many examples that we see.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
to the greatest of those to walk on
the face of this Earth. He said,
That which I fear for you the most,
who is he speaking? The
The minor shirk. So they asked him, You
Rasul, where is the minor shirk? He said,
to show off.
He's speaking to whom the greatest of people
to walk on the face of his earth.
This is why the prophet salallahu alayhi, and
I think Israel will begin with Hajj season.
When he used to perform Hajj, in the
beginning he would say,
Oh Allah, make this a Hajj.
Where there's no riyyah, there's no showing off,
and there's no Sunnah.
One thing the people to hear,
before the people they used to go and
narrate it to the people and they used
to say to him, oh yeah, I don't
Hajj, I don't know Tawah. I run through
Safa and Marwaah.
But today, you don't even need to go
out your way and tell the people. It
takes one click
than to slip on to Facebook
for the whole world to see.
Our Ibadah, brothers and sisters,
we have been created,
placed here in Luton,
left off, London for one purpose.
Never created a jinn in this except to
wash
me alone. Day and night, you should be
trying to work hard and put effort in
trying to do what?
Trying to perfect our
They
used to be scared.
If he started feeling for sure,
Or a seminar, he would say he started
crying,
he would get a tissue, he would try
to hide it. And when he's, oh, what's
wrong with the imaru?
He would say, oh no, zukam, I've got
a code to try and hide this for
sure.
Today we want everybody to see.
And it's the sad reality, brothers and sisters.
It is breaking marriages. Brothers, can you walk
on forward, please? It is breaking marriages.
It has destroyed family houses
and so on and so forth.
Brothers and sisters, I wanna speak about a
couple of things that is very relevant to
our situation.
First, my honor, speak about the danger of
getting a picture of yourself.
The sister getting a picture and placing on
social media.
You know, brothers and sisters, if a sister
walks out of hijab,
out of the home, she's nowhere in hijab.
She goes to the pool and she comes
back. Maybe 20, 30 people might see that.
And she gets the film,
the sin of these 30 people that saw
her.
Also she made their brothers and sisters.
Let's just say every person has a 100
friends. Most of us here we have more
than that. Right?
Sure, we're not suffering from any loneliness.
We have a 100 friends, each one has
a 100. Each one has a 100, and
they all has access to your
account.
It just requires a click
for a person to get to your account.
That's how simple it is.
How many thousands of people are going to
end up looking at you? If every friend
has a 100 friends,
you do the maths.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he told us in
a hadith,
We hear all the time about right?
The continuous charity.
Also about the the continuous reward.
The continuous reward.
We'll teach somebody a hadith, we'll teach him
a piece of knowledge, what happens? He goes
to teaches somebody else, he goes to teaches
another person,
He gets the reward of every single person
that benefited.
Even while you're in your grave, you are
getting this reward.
And also, he goes
the exact same direction when it comes to
a sin.
You might die today and you've got pictures
out of there on the social media, on
the world wide web.
Every person that looks at it and I
said to somebody else, who is the one
that
is getting the burden of the sin?
Why you're in Ukraine, you could be accumulating
so much sin because of the picture and
everybody that looks at it?
That's how serious, brothers and sisters, this is.
Khidlaib is the one who says we don't
have any role models.
He's a liar who says we don't have
role models when it comes to the sisters.
Mariam alaihis salatu was salaam. Brothers and
She says, I seek refuge in Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala from you. The most merciful one.
If you are from those who
are
Look at the shyness that she had. The
angel came to her
and she thought it was anyone else, she
tried to get away from him.
Today we entertain
the prospect of just sitting around
just discussing,
liking other people's, you know,
pictures
and then he tears me on Instagram.
By the way, brothers and sisters,
Instagram, sadaqah the shaykh who mentioned that Instagram
is figmaqam.
Well, I salat.
I believe Facebook is more safer than Instagram.
Recently some prophets they open an Instagram account
for me. One of the things they said
to me right at the beginning, don't press
the search button.
I was playing around with the buttons later
on, I ended up clicking on it. And,
wallahi, I remember the Sheikh Abdul Karim Al
Khuday mentioned. 1 of the messiahs in Saudi
Arabia from here to Jabal Gulenah.
He used to have these rubbish phones, these
£10, you know, unclever. Now they put these
these
clever types of devices.
He used to have these 10 pound to
advance phones. As soon as he moved on
to this one, there's all of a sudden
one time. What did he do? He clicked
on somebody end up seeing a naked woman.
You click on the search button on Instagram,
brothers, and especially the parents,
they are bound to see Farwais.
Brothers close I know brothers who close their
Instagram accounts.
Just for pressing the search bar, the amount
of fitna that the eye sees. Because this
is exactly how
That would corrupt his heart. And once this
heart becomes corrupted, Allah will not be that
would corrupt his heart. And once this heart
becomes corrupted,
There's a piece of flesh in your body.
That becomes corrupted, everything else becomes corrupted.
That becomes rectified, everything else becomes rectified. It
is the heart.
That's why you've been told to lower your
gaze
first,
then actually safeguarding your private
part. Right? Tell the believing man to lower
his gaze.
The sisters, they tend to complain about why
you always picking on the sisters?
Shouldn't he lower his gaze? You've got a
point.
Why he should be doing it lowering his
gaze? But why are you being a fit
for a guy
getting your
exposing pictures
of your adornment
and spraying it to the world wide web.
It plays both ways, you see. Naha Muhammed
Allah told him to know his gaze, but
you know it's a fitna for the guy.
2nd point I want to mention, brothers and
sisters, and this is more related to
the guys.
Leera.
Brothers and sisters, in this time we have
seen
that the protective jealousy that a man should
have for his wife
or to his female relatives has totally
gone down the toilet. It's been flushed in
there.
It is that they use.
Who acknowledges and is satisfied
with his family members, family female relatives
doing. Who is it the youth?
This is the person who has no protective
jealousy.
Oh, his what? Female relatives.
He said,
He's from the west of men. And
the Jannah is haram on this person.
What happened to Azhir brothers and sisters for
our female relatives?
I don't even need to mention names here,
most of you are gonna know who I'm
talking about. A guy comes on social media,
he has millions of followers, him and his
wife.
You know, they're going back and forth.
Showing his wife to the world wide web.
I know, brothers and sisters, we have a
citizen in this. We have people who have
preceded us, that we will always try to
be like.
Prophet You're going to follow them. You're going
to follow their way.
What they were upon?
Handspan by handspan,
arms length by arms length. So
the complainant said,
the Jews and the Christians,
prophet says, who else?
What they try to do, what gonna try
and do straight away?
Even if they were to enter into the
whole level, they're gonna go do that as
well.
Today we have people that we idolize,
like Jay z and Kanye West. We have
Jay z and Kanye West, they're competing with
one another.
Kanye West is showing off his wife to
the whole world,
Kardashian.
He wants everybody to see.
He wants everybody to see his wife. He's
happy with it. Taking pictures on the red
carpet, everybody come look at my wife.
And then Jayezid does the same thing, eggs
his wife on, and he does even worse.
They egging their wife first to make themselves
more explicit.
And today the Muslims have come out on
YouTube,
instead of him hiding his wife as much
as he can, but rather people, they gain
satisfaction
for other guys to think or to see,
oh, his wife is really really good looking.
I ask you
something that we all see as very precious.
Our money, our debit cards. There are some
people who do benefit fraud, they know they
can't keep their money inside the bank because
of the government seeing it.
So they have their pounds and their dollars
all under the carpet at home.
Someone has to be at home all the
time, fearing that somebody's gonna come and what?
Steal their money.
So Allah under the carpet.
Look how they try to look after this
thing that is so precious to them materialistically.
A debit card. Does anybody
take pictures with her, everybody come look at
me and my mom or me and my
sister or me and my wife.
Brothers and sisters, can you see how serious
this matter is?
We have really gone off the rails, and
it's sad.
You tell a guy, hide your wife, he
looks at you as if you're a mama.
Today
I flipped.
If I was to see someone, will my
wife be dropped?
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
said,
I have more protective jealousy than him.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has more protective
jealousy than me. But they say to you,
why are you being over
Prophet
Muhammad Brothers and sisters, I wanna mention to
you a real life story that my home
cousins told me about.
There was a sister in New,
who was wearing an earb top tabong.
She was wearing a niqab top tabam. She
decided to put her niqab pictures online.
Obviously, when you're wearing a niqab, nobody can
see your beauty. Right? You're not gonna get
as many lights than a sister who's showing
her beauty to the world wide web.
She realized she's looking at many lights and
all her friends are.
Garment after, garment starts coming off. Firstly, the
jibat comes off.
Oh, sorry. The niqab comes off.
That's why the lights are coming in.
Because you have to understand, brother says that
most of you may all agree, women
crave attention.
You don't give them attention, it's a problem.
She's unhappy. And this is why all these
pafar, they go and cheat
on their husbands. He's not giving them any
attention.
She wants that attention.
She finds somebody who's gonna tell her how
good she looks
even though she's 60, 70 years old
and she's become all wobbly and bubbly.
But because of the attention, it makes her
feel like the Queen of England.
Recently, there was a program
of how, you know, old women,
they were cheated out of 1,000, 100 of
1,000 pounds.
Why? Because a guy hunted them from Africa.
They haven't been given his attention. He started
messaging her. He made her feel like the
Queen of England. This is one of these
old days what she said.
So she handed over all her money to
a guy in Africa that she's never ever
met.
A shayid bin al Karam,
Nidaab comes off, Shibal comes off, then later
on, you know, the abayah comes off. Can
you see what's gradually happening? She's getting more
likes as time goes on. Then the hijab
comes off.
A guy starts talking to her.
She ends up releasing
some very explicit pictures to him.
And now he's trying to blackmail her. He
wants to do a couple of very, you
know,
explicit filthy things with her, and she doesn't
want to because she's come from a very
practicing household.
He blackmailed and said, if you don't do
what I want you to do,
then watch. You know what my brothers and
sisters?
He took the picture of a head
and he put it on top of a
naked body.
Guy, I have a lot of experience in
photo show. Back in the day, I used
to be very good at it.
It is very easy. All you need to
then use is a bit of color,
you know, blur it out, make the color
of the, you know, the body and the
face the exact same thing,
and it will look exactly like him. So
it's not difficult to do that.
And then he went and he spread these
pictures all over the Internet.
My cousin contacts his sister, what's happening to
you? Why are you doing this? You used
to be a practicing sister, used to wear
an hijab, used to be well dressed.
Wallahi didn't do it, she says.
He tried to blackmail it, he done x
y and z.
This is how easily
people sometimes tend to forget. I always tell
the brothers, especially the public speakers,
you write one thing.
It's only one screenshot that he does.
One screenshot.
And if you all are now doing something
wrong, this could go around the Internet. Before
they say what? Travel around the world in
40 days. Right?
Now we go around the world in 4
seconds.
The click of a button.
To be extra careful.
And imagine you, old sister,
who takes a picture of her naked body,
sends it even on Snapchat
for 15 seconds and then he, you know,
might not be able to say we can
take a screenshot.
And lastly, I'm going to conclude this, brothers
and sisters,
is the third type of person. You have
a righteous husband, a righteous brother, a righteous
parent
who advise their kids accordingly,
stay away from it, to adorn themselves correctly.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he said,
Imra'atul,
a woman that was left behind
by her husband.
He gave her everything that she needed.
He may have gone out and he traveled.
What did she do? Fatha Baru Rajat Badakh.
She
started
displaying herself
behind his back.
These 3, the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
this was one of them, he said don't
ask me about them.
This is why brothers and sisters,
it is very very important
to go after the righteous sisqah. Because
because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
said, dunya mataa. The dunya is an enjoyment.
And the best part of this enjoyment
is getting married to a righteous sister.
When you look at her, she makes you
smile.
And when you command her,
she does it straight away, she's
obedient.
When you're absent from her, what does she
do? She looks after herself, she preserves herself,
and she also what?
Preserves the rights of her husband.
Alayaweed me brothers and sisters.
This is why the Prophet says time and
time again he gave
emphasis on getting married to the righteous
person.
One of you should have a thankful tongue
and get married to a woman who is
a believing one, righteous one,
that will assist you with your invalid.
She's asking you why you're not waking up
the fajr?
Why are you gonna wake up a qiyamulayi?
Then Allah has to give you every single
one of you.
Brothers and sisters, and I think it's also
very important to mention this
is because marriage related as well,
A lot of things that is going on
today,
and we receive emails time and time again.
People that come up to us and tell
us about
some of the problems that they're suffering from.
And if you look at it, a lot
of it is related to what? Marriage.
They want to get married, they want to
fulfill the other half of their religion,
but because of external
issues,
maybe because of their parents making it very
difficult.
You have an Indian today that can't get
married to a Pakistani,
or a Somali today
who can't get married to another Somali because
she's from a different tribe.
Not putting all the blame on the parents,
but his party there has a problem.
Brothers and sisters, the prophet
told us in a hadith.
If somebody comes to you and you're satisfied
with his akhlaat,
his mannerism
and also his religion, then it gets you
married off.
Either you do this, otherwise, there'll be a
much corruption on the face of this Earth.
And you know this corruption is, brothers and
sisters. I've had brothers from Canada, practicing brothers,
wear beers,
and they were These are not any random
guys on their own. They said there is
a growing amount of brothers
who today have tried to get married.
Parents have said to them, you need a
degree, and you also need $20,000.
What are they regretting to do it? They
are now watching pornographics online.
These are practicing brothers. I've had sisters message
me because of that social media.
They have now been exposed
to watching pornographics as well.
You have sisters in the Kaab doing this.
They wanna get married, they wanna fulfill their
desires.
Let's not beat around the bush brothers and
sisters. The moment they hit 18, 19, our
youngsters, they have desires.
They are bound to go and do Zeelab,
especially in the kind of environment that we're
in.
This is the facade today that has become
so widespread.
