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