00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			My dear respected brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			wa rakatuh.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			First and foremost, I just want to take
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			a moment out to thank
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			our brother,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Sheikh Abdul Kareem,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			who really put in a lot of effort
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			in organizing this program,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			and likewise, the administration of the masjid.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			Brothers and sisters, Insha'Allah, in today's lecture,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			I want to cover some of the hadith,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			some of the narrations
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			that have that which I fear the most
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			for you.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			Some of the narrations that have the wording
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			that which I fear the most for you.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			he wouldn't say this Abihtun Wuri.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			He speak to his companions
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			and he's saying to them that which I
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			fear the most for you,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			that's not a light matter.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			He's speaking to the likes of Abu Bakr,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Umar,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			Uthman and Ali and he's saying to them
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			that which I fear the most for you,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			is it only specific and limited to them?
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			If this is what he fears for the
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			most greatest
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			of those who walk on the face of
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			this earth,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			then where do me and you stand?
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			Where do me and you who are living
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			in such a sexualized society?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Where do me and you stand, brothers and
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			sisters?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			And what we need to realize my brothers
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			and my sisters,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			that which is going to save
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			every single one of us
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			from the trials and the tribulations,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			the challenges ahead
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			is none other than Eid.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			I just gave a lecture now,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			I think it's Newpark, right?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			Newbury Park.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			We're speaking about the effects of sins.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Many people think the sins that one commits
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			in today's day and age, he will only
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			have to answer to Allah
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			and that there are no other consequences
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			of his sins
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			while he
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			is living on the face of his
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			*. There are some serious consequences, brothers and
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			sisters, that one will have to deal with.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			And that which is going to help us
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			maneuver
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			and navigate around
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			the sexual temptations
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			that many of us here
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			are maybe finding
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			a challenge with
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			is Al Uhl Mun Nafi,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			to seek knowledge.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Many people think
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			I only have to learn if I want
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			to become a Sheikh.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			If I want to become a serious student
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			of knowledge or a scholar, only then I
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			study.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Like I said,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			there are 2 types of fitin
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			that we are all dealing with.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			Number 1,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			fitna to Shubohat
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			or fitna to Shahwat.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			What is fitna to Shubohat? Who can tell
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			me?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			Cameraman.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			Are the doubts, brothers and sisters,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			that at times are beautified.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			We take our kids
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			to these schools, and we go to these
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			universities.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Who do you find in these universities?
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			People are ready to guide you to Alisam
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			and tell us which is the truth.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Alhamdulillah, I thank Allah
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			that he gave me the opportunity
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			to go to a university.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			Have you guys heard of Luftwari University?
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			Luftwari University.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			Well, at the time, I was studying civil
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			engineering,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			and then I had to make a decision,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			either Loughborough University or Medina,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			which is a very hard decision.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			As you have peer pressure, family pressure,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			after spending some time there, I ended up
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			leaving.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			A point that I want to make my
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			brothers and my sisters,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			I witnessed with my own eyes,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			non Muslims
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			who learn my religion and your religion
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			for the betterment of our deen,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			because they want to give aid and assistance
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			to the deen of an Islam, la.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			Simply because
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			they want to target
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			individuals
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			like us,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			who might be vulnerable,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			and distant from their religion, shaky in their
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			faith,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			they will target
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			1 by 1.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			He looks like a good
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			victim, let's go and target him.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			When they will flock around him, throwing their
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			doubts,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			looking
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			to shake his face even more.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			Students like me, new brothers and sisters who
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			go to university
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			they are there spending hours in the library
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			learning about
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			our religion.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			And then we are in some ghafala,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			some heedlessness,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			where we are what? Just chasing secular studies.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			Not that I'm saying that you shouldn't study
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			engineering or
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			mathematics
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			or anything along the lines of that. I'm
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			not saying that at all.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			However, that which I'm saying my brothers and
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			my sisters,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			what benefit will
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			my secular degree have for me
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			if I die tomorrow
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			and I will shake in my religion?
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			Like I said to you guys, I went
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			to university and I was doing civil engineering,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			And even now I was going to enroll
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			in a course to do my masters.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			I think it's important
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			to learn through these secular universities.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			However, there is a lot
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			of caution that needs to be taken.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			they are learning our religion just so they
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			could use it against every single one of
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			us,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			targeting every single one of us just so
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			we could what?
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			Shaking our fame
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			and they can add another number
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			of those who are postdated and left the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			fold of Islam.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			Let me ask you guys a question,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			If we as a society
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			are heedless
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			and are lacking basic essentials,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			What do you think the state of the
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			next generation will be? What do you think?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			You think they'll be clinging onto their religion?
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			They will be
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			mindful?
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			Do you think they will be educated?
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			Do you think they will have insight?
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			Put your hands on me, you wanna get
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			married.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			Some of you guys are scared to put
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			your hands on me because you're already married.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			Don't worry. They're not watching.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Honestly promise I'm asking you guys put your
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			hands up if you want to get married
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			That's everybody here.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			Some are putting their hands up for the
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			second wife. No problem.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			After you get married, brothers and sisters,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			it gets boring after a while.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			You want to progress in life.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			And what is considered progression,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			I want to have kids.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			You may think to yourself now kids will
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			lie, it's not something that I'm interested in,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			it's not something that I'm thinking about.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			In the Arabic language, the human being brothers
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			and sisters,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			how do you see human being in the
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			Arabic language? Does anybody know?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			Al insan.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			Why do you think he's called insan?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			Waib that's one thing, Haya. Any other meaning
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			as to why insan is called insan?
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			The human being is called insan?
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			Our brother here he mentioned because they love
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			company,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			Good.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			Which means, in other words, to seek pleasure
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			in others.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			When you're by yourself,
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			you need princess charming in your life.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			You're working towards it. Just so you can
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			have this woman,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			who will what?
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			Grant you that company that you're looking so
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			much for.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			Faib, after you marry her, is that it?
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			You get bored, brothers,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			sisters,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			honestly.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			You want the next thing, which is?
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			What is it? You want children.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			You think it stops there
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			after having children?
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			Even the mother
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			no, no, I didn't say second wife, sisters.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			There were some brothers who shouted that out.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			Nah. I didn't say that.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			You will have one child, another child. Even
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			these feminists, they say, we're not breeding machines
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			of children.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			Anyway, that's a whole different discussion. Are we
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			speaking about the feminists on Monday in Manchester?
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			You have one child, second child, that child.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			It gets a little bit boring after some
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			time. They want the next thing. You know
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			what the next thing is?
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:32
			Grandchildren.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			They love the which is to seek pleasure
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			in something.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			Does that make sense brothers and sisters?
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			If you have a child, you have a
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			son or a daughter.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			It's quite a few of you.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			How do you feel when you see them
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			growing up in this kind of environment?
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			We take them to these schools that are
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			breathing grounds
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			for kufr,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			shirk and a lot of colorful things.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			It's a breathing ground, brother and sister, for
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			a lot of colorful things.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			It is being what rubbed on our faces.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			Even today when you wanna cross the road,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			normally the zebra crossing is black and white
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			all of a sudden. Now it's colorful, fancy
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			colors.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Our children
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			we take 3 schools
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			that are breeding grounds for kufr,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			shirk and now all sorts of other filth
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			and
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			evil.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			This is the kind of environment that they
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			are growing up in.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			They come home
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			and they begin to ask questions.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			And you, Mr. Muhammad
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			sir Abdullah,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			when asked these questions by your 6 year
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			old or your 7 year old,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			you have no answer for it.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			What is your reaction going to be?
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			What is your reaction going to be, my
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			brothers and my sisters?
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			You're going to get angry,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			kick the child out of the house, 7
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			year old, or maybe what, a 10 year
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			old, kick them out of the house
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			or start accusing them of being
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			possessed by a jinn. No, he's not possessed
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			by a jinn. That's the easy way out
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			of the situation.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			Jinn yukhawa.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:36
			Right?
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			The guy is possessed by a jinn. No,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			he's not.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			He just doesn't have the tools
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			to equip himself
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			when dealing with these doubts that are coming
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			his way.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Agreed my brothers and my sisters, walla Allah,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:53
			Agreed.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			I don't think anybody will challenge what I
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			just mentioned.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			Let me ask you guys another question.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Why do you think this colorful team
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			has such a strong voice on social media?
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			Why do you think that? And, by the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			way, let me just make something very clear.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			I am not here to express
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			my own views and my opinions. I just
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			quote.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			I just quote.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			Does that make sense, brothers and sisters, to
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			me?
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			Why do you think they have such a
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			loud voice?
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			Brothers, can you guys move a little bit
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			forward? A lot of brothers.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			So you can see it's pretty packed.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			Even though they are like a raindrop in
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			comparison to
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			a majority of the Muslims,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			they're like a raindrop
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			but they have such a loud voice
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			they are controlling the narrative
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Why brothers and sisters why, why do you
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			think that?
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			Because every single member
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			of this colorful team is playing a role
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			in contributing to the narrative that is being
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			pushed.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			Would you guys agree with that?
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			That's exactly what is happening, brothers and sisters.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			That's exactly what has happened.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			And this is the first one, the messenger
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he told us in
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			a hadith that which I fade the most
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			for my Ummaha in akhwa from akhwa for
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			akhum
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			akhha for aalummati
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			a manu qummirud.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			That which I fear the most for my
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			Ummah is the practices of
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			what men are doing with men.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			I'm just quoting.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Point of the matter is my brothers and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			my sisters, I've already given a lecture on
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			this particular matter,
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			spoken about it in so many different masajid,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			and may Allah remove the masajid.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			They didn't object or contest to anything that
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			I said.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			In fact, they invited me again.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			I don't wanna go into too much detail
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			with regards to it. If you want more
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			information, go on to my YouTube channel.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			But the point is,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			every single one of them is playing a
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			role in controlling the narrative.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			They seem as if they are the majority
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28
			when you go online,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			but they are not.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			You have to understand, brothers and sisters, they
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			are using this 3 step strategy.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			This 3 step strategy.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			Who knows what the 3 step strategy is
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			that was introduced by 2 Harvard graduates in
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			the 19 eighties?
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			Does anybody know?
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			Aya Jama'ah,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			you guys have to be clued on
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			on what's happening in the world.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			There's 3 steps strategy brothers and sisters
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			is number 1,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07
			desensitize.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			Number 2,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:10
			jam.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			Not when you tell your friend jam, I'm
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			not talking about that.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Using jamming tactics.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			Number 3, convert.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			You You know if I stand on the
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			mimbar every single week,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			and I propagate a particular narrative, even if
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			you don't agree with me in the 1st
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			week, by week number 5,
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			you would have indeed taken in what I
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			mentioned,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			at least being accepting of it or being
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			open minded to it.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			Does that make sense? And that is because
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			I keep going on about the same thing
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			time and time again.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			The second step was
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			using jamming tactics. Anybody
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			who says other than him
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			what is being pushed, they cancel him.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			They use the jamming tactic
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			to label him either a bigot,
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			a homophobe,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			a hater,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			a feminist
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			oh, sorry. Not feminist.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:26
			A misogynist.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			All of these different words and names that
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			they have what?
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			Created
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			in order to
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			portray you in a negative way.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			And then you get scared.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			You don't say
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			anything,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			you're about to let go of your morals
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			and your values.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			I can't even talk about Islam anymore,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			because if I do, then I will
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			be treated in this particular way.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			Fearmongering tactics are used
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			to make you feel like a stranger,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			a foreigner
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			in your own religion.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			Number 3,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			once you reach that point, brothers and sisters,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			it will be so easy to convert you
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			to whatever
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			they are pushing.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			They will say things like, you guys heard
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			of Alexander the Great,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			Leonardo da Vinci,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			Apparently, all of them,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			they were part of the colorful team.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			They will say to you things like, listen,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			this is perfectly normal, they were like that.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			Stop being harsh, stop being an extremist,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			everybody is doing it,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			Everybody is upon that.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			There's no harm in you also accepting it.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			And you being of that kind of mindset,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			can you see how they shape the way
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			you think?
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			This is why brothers and sisters, every single
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			one of us has a responsibility.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			Otherwise, we'll lie.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			Think about your kids,
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			think about your grandkids.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			How many
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			Muslim born people today that we have who
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			have lost their identity?
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			You my brothers and my sisters have to
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			go out and study your deen.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			Otherwise,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			we can call it a day on the
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			next generation, honestly speaking.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			Does that make sense?
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			This is something that is extremely vital and
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:53
			crucial.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			These three
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:58
			steps
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			that I just mentioned, we can use it
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			to our own advantage.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			Just as they are being desensitized
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			everybody knows what desensitized mean, right? Or do
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			I need to explain and translate into English?
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			To give you guys an example, put your
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			hand on your way to Umrah.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			Salaabhi.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			When you go for Umrah, you spend 2
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			weeks there. You come back.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			You hear music being played. How do you
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:28
			feel?
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			Right. It feels out of place.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			And that is because you're not used to
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			that kind of environment. You're not used to
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			hearing that.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			Does that make sense?
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			2 weeks, 3 weeks go by, and then
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			you don't even hear it anymore.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			It becomes normal. And that is because it's
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			been
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			hinting us from every direction.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			Agreed?
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:52
			Excellent.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:55
			Our kids
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			or us ourselves forget about our kids for
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			the moment, many of you guys don't even
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			have
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			kids. We keep hearing the same thing
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			time and time again
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			in universities, in the institutes, in the schools.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			We go online, we hear the exact same
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:10
			thing.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			We just keep on scrolling and scrolling, scrolling
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			like zombies.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			And we're becoming desensitized to a lot of
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			filth.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			Is it rocket science to really understand brothers
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			and sisters as to why
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			all of a sudden your behavior changes
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			and you don't hang around with the wrong
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:33
			crowd.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			The scholars of the past, they would say,
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			don't look at somebody who's lazy.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			Imagine
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			now. They would say,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			don't look at somebody who's lazy. Why? Why
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			do you think that? Who can tell me?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			Why shouldn't you look at somebody who's lazy?
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			The more you keep looking at something,
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			the more it subconsciously creeps in.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			Does that make sense?
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			Or like they will say, don't look at
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			those people, when you look in the books
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			of adab
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			and how to safeguard
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			whatever you are pursuing,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			sacred knowledge, don't look at a lazy person.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			For a very long time, we thought that
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			the only way
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			that we would become corrupted is by hanging
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			around with the wrong crowd, agreed?
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			Your mom and dad, they would say to
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			you, listen, don't hang around with so and
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			so, and then they'll quote
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			you
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			the hadith you know, the perfume salah and
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			the blacksmith,
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			how it rubs off of you,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			they will quote you hadith like that.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			Does that make sense?
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			Them days are long gone thinking that that's
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			the only way you will get corrupted and
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			you will become affected
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			thinking that's the only way, these days are
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:54
			longer.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			One becoming affected,
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			having his mindset
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			shaped
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			is not just by hanging around with the
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			wrong people
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			or hearing what they say
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			also
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			that once you keep looking at
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			has a huge effect
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			in changing
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			a state of an individual.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			So you have young kids today, very young
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			age, they're just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling on
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			Instagram,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:35
			especially
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			and ask Allah to send somebody to close
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			down TikTok,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			right?
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			Scrolling
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			day and night, day and night, day and
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			night.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			Young kids,
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			a young girl
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			who has never hanged around hung around with,
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			women who walk around with skirts,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			miniskirts, should I say, because skirts are different.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			Miniskirts, she doesn't hang around with them,
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			All wearing revealing clothes, she doesn't hang around
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			with them. She goes to school in hijab,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			but
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			she's on her phone
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			throughout the whole day.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			And then the parent is thinking Alhamdulillah, my
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			daughter is at home.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			She might be exposed to that which is
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			far more filthier
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			Why in them 4 walls
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			than when she goes outside?
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			How many bad people can you walk into
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			when you go outside brothers and sisters? How
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:35
			many?
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			6, 7, 8, 9, say 10.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			Hey. What about online? For those who didn't
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			know, ww.stands
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			for the world Wide Web.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			New info
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			the World Wide Web, the whole world has
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			become like a small little village.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			And the whole world is now what they
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			think it took away.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			Right? Becoming so desensitized
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			to that which they keep on looking at.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			And then this young child turns around to
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			her father and says, dad, I want to
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			dress like this, or I don't want to
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			wear the hijab and the dad's thinking what's
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			going on here.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			What's going on here?
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			She doesn't hang around with the wrong crowd
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			because of what she kept on looking
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			at. Likewise, you see brothers today,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			all of a sudden behaving like rappers
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			with the way he walks, the way
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			he cuts his hair,
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			and then you say to him, what's
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			wrong with that?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			I'm not targeting anybody here. Just giving you
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			guys an example.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			And that's because he kept on looking at
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:50
			something
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			constantly. He gazed at it and then it
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			just became normalized to him.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			Does that make sense brothers and sisters?
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			A lot of the filth and the evil
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			that we keep seeing on the world wide
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:04
			web,
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			it is affecting us.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			And it's becoming normalized
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			and accepted
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			morally
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			in today's society.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			And I put it down to
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			2 main reasons.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			Number 1,
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			as the messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			From the signs of the hour is that
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			ignorance becomes so widespread,
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			becomes scarce knowledge, you don't find knowledge or
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			become so scarce.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			Ignorance takes over,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			And the zina becomes so prevalent as well.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			So due to lack of knowledge,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			we are becoming what's so desensitized,
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			fulfills and evil.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			And number 2 also I put it down
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:02
			to
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			there not being enough people
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			who are speaking out.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			Would you guys agree if we
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			played the same role as
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			a colorful team,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			every one of them keeps coming out,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			not telling you to do it, but you
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			click on some of these hashtags on Twitter.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			Like, you think, Akhir, these guys
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			are like a nation,
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			but how much is being posted? It's always
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			trending.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Always.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:36
			If we
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			every time propagated that which is right,
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			that which is the truth,
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			you think
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			many Muslims who fall victim to this today
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			are at least start sympathizing
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			or empathizing towards
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			this minority group. You think that? You think
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			that would have happened?
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			I got told in American simply because, and
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			I put this down to,
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			leading Islamic figures not taking the correct stance
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			that Allah Azawwal will be pleased with.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			You ask them, do you agree with this
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			kind of stuff? You'll say, I agree with
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			it politically. This is life on our jazeera.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			But I disagree with it morally.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			So you got young men watching this.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			O Allah, you know what some brother said
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			to me, you'll walk through you will walk
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			through the university campus,
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			you will struggle to find a hijabi
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			that doesn't have rainbow colors on his chest,
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			you will struggle.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			Wallahi said he will struggle.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			They've been made to feel that we need
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			to hold hands.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			We need to have coalitions.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			And when I had this, Wallahi,
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			I started going to just about every masjid,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			and making mention about this particular topic.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			Out of fear that this will happen to
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			us here in the UK and Alhamdulillah in
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			the UK we are a lot more conservative.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			There's a lot more of us. Look at
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			how many brothers have attended.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			They are a lot more conservative
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			and clinging to their religion.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			However, that can easily change.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			And that is if everyone decides, you know
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			what? I don't want to study
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			what I was created for.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			And likewise, second point is what? If one
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			decides to take a decision that
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			I'm not going to say anything.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			So what does it all go back to?
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			Seeking knowledge, my beloved brothers and sisters.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			Seeking knowledge.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			It's not just for you to become a
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			Sheikh when it comes to seeking knowledge.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			There's so much more to that
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			that will protect you from a lot of
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			evil and a lot of filth.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			The next narration that I wanted to mention
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			that has the wedding,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			which I fear the most to you,
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:04
			is
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			the prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam said,
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			That which I fear the most few is
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			the hidden type of
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			lust
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			or temptation
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			and also shirk was mentioned.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			So the companion he said,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			as for this hidden type of lust,
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			we have come to know about it.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			They are the temptations of this dunya
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			of the women.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			Right?
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			thinking shall I go into the whole feminist
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:01
			stuff?
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			All we need to understand, brothers and sisters,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			is
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			Hazim Al Juzirahmatullahi
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:15
			mention
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			have knowledge and know.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23
			The root cause for
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			which
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			can be translated as
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:29
			infatuation.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			You guys know what being infatuated means?
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			This deep type of love,
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			and I say
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			that he becomes afflicted with because
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			love brothers and sisters can be what an
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			affliction.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			It can be torture
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			that one just struggles
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			to walk away from
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			or to rid himself from
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			is what
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			is not lowering your gaze.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			Every single one of us here brothers and
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			sisters is going to make a promise, InshaAllah
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12
			Ta'ala,
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			with his Lord that as soon as we
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			walk out of this door,
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			we are going to keep on trying to
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			lower our gates,
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:23
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			That which is destroying every single one of
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			us, my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			is the blessing of the eye,
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			that we are not lowering,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			that we keep on
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			using for the wrong reasons.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			And then he says,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			Just as it's feared for a man,
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			it is also feared for a woman.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			And then look what he says, this part
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			So suddenly
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			he says,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			He says many people of religiosity,
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			they lost their religion, you know, because of
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:11
			what?
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			Because of them not learning the gates.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			See the guy walks into the midst of
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			big beard, throat, everything.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:22
			He lost his faith because he did not
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			lower his gaze.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			The issue of women my brothers and my
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			sisters is not a light matter, Allah is
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			not.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			Right? Especially in the era of social media,
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			when you have all types of filth at
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			your disposal.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			There are some studies that I came across
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			that Instagram has contributed
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:47
			hugely
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			to 1 becoming addicted to adult content.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			You guys agree with that?
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			This may be a huge cause,
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			he comes across images that he clicks on
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			which he
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			takes pleasure from.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			However, as time goes on, this is no
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			longer enough to fulfill his desire, so he
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			needs more.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
			So then it turns to what?
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			Adul's content.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			Why brothers is so heartbreaking
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			to continue keep receiving
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			messages from brothers
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			who have become addicted to this,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			and they're crying. Allah, you could actually imagine
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:31
			them crying
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			with how he is writing this, saying that
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			I'm going to run myself into destruction. Please
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			help. Crying out for help.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44
			How did it all start?
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			Due to an innocent look.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			Due to an innocent look.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			In the month of Ramadan, brothers and sisters,
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			and I said this yesterday as well at
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			Edmonton Islamic Center,
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			may Allah rule that masjid,
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			you're very kind to me.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			In the month of Ramadan,
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			I had brothers and sisters messaging me saying
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			I committed zina.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			Others,
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			it is a major sin for one to
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			have sexual * with his wife
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:18
			while
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			fasting. It's a major sin.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			It's not a light letter.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			I'm receiving messages from brothers
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			and sisters who committed zina in the month
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:29
			of Ramadan.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			I would also ask, did you know one
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34
			another before the month of Ramadan?
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			You know the answer is no, we didn't
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			know each other.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			And it's only maybe 5, 6 days into
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			the month of Ramadan.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:43
			How did he get to know one another?
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			How do you think?
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			Instagram,
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			also known as Fitinagram.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:56
			Well, I remember when the brothers, they gave
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			me the Instagram account, yalla reward them, has
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			something like 800 followers,
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			And I always thought that Instagram was for
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			little kids. This is back in 2015.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			I always thought that it was worth for
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			little kids. So I said, what am I
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09
			gonna do with this account?
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			They were like all the Shabab around that.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			But they said, we
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			warn you of one very huge thing, and
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			that is don't click the search button.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			Don't click the search button.
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			An innocent look, brothers and sisters,
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			leads to the unexpected, which is what has
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34
			seen.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			They met one another
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			on social media,
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43
			and they eventually ended up falling into Azina
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			6 days or 7 days into the month
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			of Ramadan.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			Sometimes the shaitan whispers,
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			right, after this girl has
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			slipped into your DMs,
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			I'll give her dua and then marry her.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			She ends up giving dua to him.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			Her looks end up giving dua to him.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			Allahih, the moment you click
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			on that profile picture, brothers and sisters, you
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:14
			are playing with fire.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			Allah, you're playing with fire.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			And you will lead yourself into destruction
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			that you may struggle
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26
			to ever get over.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			And then we should also be made mention
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			of
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:36
			is when one is alone with the opposite
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:36
			jinnah.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			Amara Iku Fidharik,
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			what do you guys think of that? I'm
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			a strong man,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			alpha male.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:45
			Masculinity,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			I can
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			handle
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			myself,
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			skin.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, my taraq
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			tu fitnatan
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			I have been left
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			a fitna that is greater upon my ummah
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02
			and women.
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			Have you guys heard of Sayid al Musayid?
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			Who is Sayid al Musayid?
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			Now it was from the greatest, not just
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			that from the Tabiyan, from the greatest of
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			the Tabiyan.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:28
			Right? From the greatest of the Tabiyan,
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			those who met the companions.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			You know what he says about himself?
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:37
			Lakadbelahtu.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			I have reached the age of 80.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			80.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			Not 25, 26, 30, 80 years of age
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			will go away
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			as they say in Samani.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			You guys become extremely old in age.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			And you know what he says?
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:05
			That which I feed the most for myself
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06
			is not other than women.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			You may say, oh, he's from the ancient
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:14
			scholars and whatever have you. Have you guys
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:15
			heard of Sheikh Al Bani
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:18
			contemporary, right?
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			He says that which is similar, he said
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			I have reached the age of 74.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			I fear for myself the fitna of women.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			Then how about the Shabaab?
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			Have you guys heard of Abay ibn Abay?
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			Abay ibn Abay.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			He was known as the black Mufti of
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			Mecca.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			The black Mufti of Mecca.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			He said,
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			he was a black Abyssinian.
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			He used to live.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			He couldn't see properly.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			A shell, he was also paralyzed.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			He didn't have a wife.
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			He became blind at the end of his
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:19
			life.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			So that which raised him, brothers and sisters,
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			knowledge
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			and also acting upon it. You probably think
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			to yourself, somebody
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			of this kind of appearance
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			would be looked down upon in society.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			Who would wanna employ him? Who would wanna
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			even, like, engage with him?
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			He had all the odds stacked up against
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:44
			him and so became the black Mufti of
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:45
			Mecca.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			Abdullah ibn Umar Darab,
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:49
			the Quran,
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			the one who narrated the most hadith out
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			of Horeira would come to Mecca and people
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			would come running.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			One thing to ask questions, Abdullah ibn Umar
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			the son of Arhamu Khattab
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			said, you want to come to me Taj
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			Mahal al Masayd?
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			You wanna bring me your question you have
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:11
			Anyways,
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			why am I mentioning Atay Nabi Rabah and
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			his appearance?
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			Even though he looked like that,
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			you know what he said?
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			If you were to place me in charge
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:31
			of the treasury,
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			no chances are Rishi Sunak, right?
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			Did I say your name correct?
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			It was a chancellor. I was giving out
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			money
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			in COVID.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:47
			Hello
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			Atay ibn Abi Rabah is saying if I
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:55
			had that kind of position
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:57
			as a chancellor and
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			you asked me to
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			be in charge of all of this wealth,
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			I will be trustworthy. You can trust me
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:05
			on that.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:11
			However,
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			a slave girl,
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			that is ugly, I can't trust myself with
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			that.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			You have his appearance.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:23
			This man brother is paralyzed.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			And then you
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:25
			have
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			the slave girl that is not good looking
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:28
			at all
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			because I can't trust myself.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			Saying he would be a safe pair of
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			hands when it comes to wealth or when
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			it comes to his woman life.
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:42
			You
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			know, brothers and sisters, we can quote all
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:49
			of this,
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			and I mentioned this earlier as well.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			I think only a couple of prophets came
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			from the Masjid. Who came? Freehandam of you
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			attended the other.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			Oh wow.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			Good few of you guys. You guys go
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			ahead before me,
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:05
			Jameen.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			It's a point that I wanted to make.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			Something I wanted to mention is how life
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:25
			works.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			We can quote all of these narrations,
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			we can quote a hadith of the Prophet
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			we can quote the Quran
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			when it comes to how you should interact
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			with the opposite gender, but they will look
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			at you as someone who's backwards,
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:47
			out of touch with reality. Listen bro,
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:50
			2022
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			must be relaxed,
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			making it look like as if these texts
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			are out of touch with reality.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:01
			Agreed?
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:09
			Earlier, we spoke about what the importance of
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10
			knowledge is.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			I gave a lecture, it's called,
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			some of you guys may have watched it,
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			Filthy Fathers,
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			Cheating Husbands and Free Mixing.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			Right?
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			And I believe the reason why I picked
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27
			up so much publicity
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			is because
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			I mentioned in this video
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			firsthand accounts of victims.
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:38
			Victims of what?
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			Victims of gender mixing,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			where a woman would send in
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			her personal experience
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			of how she fell victim and how her
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			relationship became destroyed
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			because she opened the door
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:56
			for other couples to come in and enjoy
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:57
			tea with them.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:01
			In the same household, zina would take place
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:03
			between
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06
			different spouses, of says.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			These are real stories
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			that were on Islam q and a.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:13
			And one time I just decided, you know
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			what, let me do a lecture on this
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			and just start reading.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			One personal account after the next, and after
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			the next, and after the next.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			It's a little too late now, the damage
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:26
			has been done.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			When you could have just what? Listen to
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:29
			Allah
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			and His Messenger Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:33
			Agreed?
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			When he told
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:36
			you,
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			Never does one seclude himself with a woman
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:41
			except the authorities?
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			Shaitan.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			Ollahi brothers
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			and sisters, I've been told
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			a practicing brother would go for a marriage
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			meeting.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:52
			Right?
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			And her mother. Her mother is meant to
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			be sitting there, but she goes upstairs
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			to watch a soap opera.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01
			A
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			soap opera.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			It's only them 2 inside of the room
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:08
			for a marriage meeting,
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:09
			practicing.
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			What did the messenger salal say? The third
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:13
			is who?
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:14
			Shaytan.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			And before you know it, they are committing
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20
			all sorts of sins amongst themselves.
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:25
			I just read out a whole load of
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:25
			people's
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:26
			personal
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			accounts. A feminist will say to you, stop
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31
			being overprotective.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:35
			Why do you feel insecure?
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:39
			These are the tactics that are used
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			to rip you off your hira, your protective
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:42
			jealousy,
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:46
			which is a mani. You wanna be a
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:46
			high value man?
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:48
			That's something they should have.
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:55
			Somebody with ghayra, which is absolute deen as
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			Ibn Taymah Muttullah mentions.
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			This is what the foundation of your
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:04
			religion.
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:07
			And anyone who doesn't have that protective jealousy
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			always women folk,
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:10
			this person doesn't have deen.
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:12
			You will see that his deen will become
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13
			what very very shallow.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18
			Out of all the characteristics that Mirutaim could
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:21
			have spoken about, he made mention of which
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:23
			relates to one's protective jealousy
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:27
			and how it keeps your heart alive
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			You know the same effect that
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:33
			the warmth inside of your body has?
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36
			What happens if you lose that warmth? You'll
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:36
			die.
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39
			And he's saying if you lose your protective
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			jealousy you'll die as well your heart will
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:41
			die.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			How long do I have?
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			So we have 7 minutes.
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:03
			Please brothers and sisters, especially those
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			who come from backgrounds where free mixing is
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:06
			so normalized,
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			sometimes they say to ahi,
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:10
			is this your cousin?
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			Stop being a haram police stop being chaddid
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17
			go upstairs watch the film together no problem
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			And then we have to pick up the
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			pieces because they message, you know, this has
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24
			happened, what should we do?
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			Just listen to Allah ahsam jalil,
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29
			listen to the miss salaam alaihe wa sallam,
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31
			seek some basic knowledge.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			After reading all of the personal accounts,
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:37
			something occurred to me at a time, and
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			it's times like that brothers and sisters that
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			we really appreciate knowledge.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			Honestly,
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			that could prevent you from all of
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			these social problems and issues that you go
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			through.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			So I want to conclude this particular point
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			with some lines of poetry by Akkhtani rhammatullahi
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:00
			when he said
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			Have you guys heard of an individual called
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09
			Banan?
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			Banan was the
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14
			devout worshipper
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:16
			that the people of the past will use
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:18
			as an example when speaking about the righteous
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			individual.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21
			Even if you're like him, don't ever be
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22
			alone with a woman.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			Don't ever be alone with a woman.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			And look what he
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			says,
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:38
			Sis are gonna love this.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			Those men that are looking
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:42
			at women,
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45
			they are no different to dogs.
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:48
			When they see a piece of flesh.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			When a dog sees a piece of flesh,
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			what does he do?
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:55
			He starts huffing and puffing around this piece
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:56
			of flesh thigh,
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			starts barking at it.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			Now let me ask you guys an honest
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			question. Have I been like that?
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:01
			Yes.
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04
			Sisters, the brothers said yes.
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			These feminists, they have an issue with the
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16
			patriarchy system. Wali, why do I need to
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			ask my wali if I want to get
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:18
			married?
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:21
			The Sharia
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			puts down
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:27
			steps to protect you
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			because there are these men
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			who are ready to take advantage,
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:35
			but then you have
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			a high value man,
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:39
			a wadi
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:41
			in the equation
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			Insha Allah Ta'ala
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:45
			is going to put down
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			that which is going to InshaAllah Ta'ala protect
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:51
			you from a lot of headache.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:54
			Even if you just look at the psychological
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:56
			way of thinking by a man,
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			a woman who is by herself,
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			who doesn't have a male protector, how do
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:02
			you think you're thinking?
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			I could easily chew her
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			and spit her out.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:15
			The legislation is very wise, brothers and sisters,
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			as opposed to when there are men around
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:19
			her
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			are there looking out for her, protecting her.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:23
			He'll think twice.
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			Right? He'll think twice on how he deals
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:27
			with that woman.
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			Then he says,
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			If
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			the lions don't protect these women, you as
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			a father, you as an older brother,
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:48
			right,
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50
			if you don't protect,
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:54
			you will see that it will be taken
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			advantage of and you will not receive anything
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:57
			in return.
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03
			And then he advises you, O man,
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:10
			Don't accept
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:11
			affection
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:12
			from women.
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			You sometimes putting on a certain face.
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:22
			Mister Charming
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:24
			smiles,
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			looks at her a certain way,
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:30
			their hearts easily
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:32
			sway and swerve.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			And before you know it you'll find yourself
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:37
			in a very difficult
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40
			pickle to get yourself out of.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:45
			And then he says,
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:52
			Don't ever
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:54
			leave
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:55
			your wife
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:57
			with another individual.
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:00
			Over women,
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:04
			blood brothers have fought one another.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:08
			Again, they would use that card of, listen,
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			why are you being overprotective for?
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:12
			Why do you feel insecure?
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:13
			Right.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			And sometimes even moms
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:17
			will say this to their own children
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			when they bring their wives over.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			Khiwah is scared that he's going to take
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			your wife from you.
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:27
			It's not
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:30
			about one feeling insecure or being scared of
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:32
			his wife or whatever have you.
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37
			And then when the damage is done,
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:39
			what will the response be?
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:44
			So many have become psychologically affected.
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			They felt like that they lost their masculinity.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			They felt like my brothers and my sisters
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:54
			that they
		
00:53:56 --> 00:53:58
			lost their confidence
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:02
			because of how treacherous people have been around
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:02
			them.
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06
			It breaks you, brothers and sisters.
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:09
			And then it says
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:16
			and he says make sure you lower your
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:16
			gaze.
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:19
			When
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:20
			gazing at women.
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:24
			And also not just women,
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			and this comes in extremely handy.
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30
			Good looking young men don't be gazing at
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			them.
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37
			Brothers and sisters, we get messages all the
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:38
			time of brothers
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:40
			and sisters
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			who feel attracted to the same gender,
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:50
			and we are very soft with them.
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:53
			We don't annihilate them, brothers and sisters. Some
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:53
			people
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:55
			are affected by this, and they want a
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:56
			genuine advice.
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			How can I overcome some of these feelings
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:00
			that I have?
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04
			One of them without a shadow of a
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			doubt, they stop looking at him, lower your
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			gaze, just as we would tell
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:09
			one to lower his gaze when he sees
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:11
			the opposite jinn, don't look,
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:15
			right?
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:18
			Especially because of how much is being
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:20
			accepted in society,
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:21
			right,
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:24
			you may let your guard down and before
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:25
			you know it,
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:27
			it's so much more easier to embrace
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			because others are doing it.
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:35
			I don't live.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:37
			Halas?
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:39
			Someone said 2 minutes.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:42
