The speakers discuss the benefits of having a presence in one's worship, including a sense of pride and humility. They stress the importance of connecting with someone and creating a plan to connect with them. The speakers also emphasize the need to lower one's gaze, avoid distractions, and stay away from small things. They suggest ways to improve eyesight, including practicing basic activities and cell phones. The Shama Terror Tirmzik on people's behavior and health is also discussed, with advice on protecting one's eyes and ears from distraction and poisonous arrow attacks.
00:00:00 -->
00:00:34
Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Bismillah
00:00:37 -->
00:00:42
Alright, so inshallah we are going to this
00:00:42 -->
00:00:43
is going to be a little bit of
00:00:43 -->
00:00:48
a different style of a halaqah It is
00:00:48 -->
00:00:50
going to be motivational but it's also going
00:00:50 -->
00:00:51
to be very text-based.
00:00:52 -->
00:00:56
I am a very firm believer in getting
00:00:56 -->
00:00:59
people used to an intellectual discourse while reading
00:00:59 -->
00:01:02
a text I will go through the text
00:01:02 -->
00:01:05
in Arabic I will explain whatever is happening
00:01:05 -->
00:01:05
in Arabic.
00:01:06 -->
00:01:07
For those of you who understand Arabic will
00:01:07 -->
00:01:09
enjoy it but you will get a different
00:01:09 -->
00:01:09
flavor.
00:01:09 -->
00:01:12
The book we are reading today is called
00:01:13 -->
00:01:16
Nastoor al-ifadah bima yu'inu ala hudoor
00:01:16 -->
00:01:21
al-ibadah It is Nastoor is things that
00:01:21 -->
00:01:22
are written in lines.
00:01:23 -->
00:01:26
So it's saying Nastoor al-ifadah, that things
00:01:26 -->
00:01:29
that have been encapsulated in lines that are
00:01:29 -->
00:01:32
of benefit to you bima yu'inu, that
00:01:32 -->
00:01:37
which will help you ala hudoor fil-ibadah,
00:01:37 -->
00:01:39
it will help you to have presence in
00:01:39 -->
00:01:41
your ibadah in your worship.
00:01:42 -->
00:01:44
So we will talk a little bit about
00:01:44 -->
00:01:46
that What does it mean to have presence
00:01:46 -->
00:01:47
in your worship?
00:01:49 -->
00:01:52
Alhamdulillah we all pray, but what does it
00:01:52 -->
00:01:53
mean to have presence?
00:01:53 -->
00:01:54
You guys can come forward because there is
00:01:54 -->
00:01:55
lots of space here.
00:01:55 -->
00:01:57
There are more people, there is space here,
00:01:57 -->
00:02:00
you guys can be more comfortable on this
00:02:00 -->
00:02:03
side too What does it mean to have
00:02:03 -->
00:02:04
presence in ibadah?
00:02:08 -->
00:02:10
Like I want to have hudoor, I want
00:02:10 -->
00:02:13
to have presence Aren't you present?
00:02:13 -->
00:02:14
You're alive, you're praying.
00:02:17 -->
00:02:17
What do we mean?
00:02:18 -->
00:02:19
What do you guys think it is?
00:02:27 -->
00:02:29
Okay but we all set a time, we
00:02:29 -->
00:02:30
all come for fajr right?
00:02:31 -->
00:02:33
Or we all come for maghrib or isha,
00:02:34 -->
00:02:36
but are we present in that ibadah?
00:02:37 -->
00:02:38
Consciously.
00:02:39 -->
00:02:41
If I'm praying maghrib what portion of my
00:02:41 -->
00:02:43
maghrib is maghrib and what portion of my
00:02:43 -->
00:02:45
maghrib is the latest assignment that I have
00:02:45 -->
00:02:45
to do?
00:02:48 -->
00:02:48
Right?
00:02:49 -->
00:02:51
If we ask ourselves this question and one
00:02:51 -->
00:02:55
of the biggest motivations was for teaching this
00:02:55 -->
00:03:01
kitab again was I myself, every single person
00:03:01 -->
00:03:04
we all go through phases in life where
00:03:04 -->
00:03:06
your heart becomes hardened and you start feeling
00:03:06 -->
00:03:09
like a ritualistic autopilot mode you don't realize,
00:03:10 -->
00:03:10
come in.
00:03:11 -->
00:03:13
Like I ask you this question to understand
00:03:13 -->
00:03:14
if we have presence.
00:03:15 -->
00:03:19
What surah did you read yesterday in maghrib?
00:03:24 -->
00:03:27
Yet you find many ahadith many traditions of
00:03:27 -->
00:03:30
Prophet SAW that will say I read three
00:03:30 -->
00:03:32
days ago this surah and that surah is
00:03:32 -->
00:03:35
stuck in my head I'm still pondering on
00:03:35 -->
00:03:37
the benefits that I got from my recitation
00:03:37 -->
00:03:38
in the salah three days ago.
00:03:39 -->
00:03:42
You find tons of stories of sahabahs being
00:03:42 -->
00:03:46
impacted by that presence existing.
00:03:47 -->
00:03:51
And this hudur as much as this presence
00:03:51 -->
00:03:53
in our worship is beneficial to you it's
00:03:53 -->
00:03:56
mostly, first and foremost it is for my
00:03:56 -->
00:03:59
benefit because I think among all of you
00:03:59 -->
00:04:00
guys I am probably in one of the
00:04:00 -->
00:04:02
most in need of this myself.
00:04:03 -->
00:04:06
And when we ask the scholars like if
00:04:06 -->
00:04:08
you look at Ahmad al-Rifa'i, if
00:04:08 -->
00:04:10
you ask some of the scholars they'll tell
00:04:10 -->
00:04:12
you, somebody asked, how do we get presence?
00:04:12 -->
00:04:14
How do I have hudur, presence in my
00:04:14 -->
00:04:15
ibadah?
00:04:16 -->
00:04:18
Sheikh Ahmad al-Rifa'i he said that
00:04:18 -->
00:04:20
you put one of your foot on your
00:04:20 -->
00:04:22
neck and the other one you will be
00:04:22 -->
00:04:23
connected to Allah SWT.
00:04:24 -->
00:04:25
Which is an imagery of the fact that
00:04:25 -->
00:04:31
we have to learn to humble and humiliate
00:04:31 -->
00:04:34
ourselves in front of Allah SWT when we
00:04:34 -->
00:04:39
do that when we absolutely humble ourselves and
00:04:39 -->
00:04:41
we feel like Ya Allah I am no
00:04:41 -->
00:04:45
one, then at that moment it's only Allah
00:04:45 -->
00:04:47
who can help you to connect with Him
00:04:47 -->
00:04:48
and you will be with Allah SWT.
00:04:48 -->
00:04:50
But when I feel like oh I am
00:04:50 -->
00:04:53
someone, and I'm about like you know I,
00:04:54 -->
00:04:55
mashallah I can do this and that and
00:04:55 -->
00:04:57
I can have all the gymnastics and Arabic
00:04:57 -->
00:05:00
and polemics of you know Salafi, Sufi debates
00:05:00 -->
00:05:01
and I can do all of that, now
00:05:01 -->
00:05:06
I'm Allahu Akbar, actually you are yourself Akbar
00:05:06 -->
00:05:08
and you're not really believing that Allah is
00:05:08 -->
00:05:12
Akbar, you don't believe that so it's the
00:05:12 -->
00:05:16
absolute humiliation in front of Allah that you
00:05:16 -->
00:05:20
humiliate yourself and you say Ya Allah I
00:05:20 -->
00:05:24
am nothing, that is why we say in
00:05:24 -->
00:05:31
salah 17 times a day Iyaka Naabudu the
00:05:31 -->
00:05:35
actual sentence was Naabuduka for those of you
00:05:35 -->
00:05:39
that know basic, the actual sentence was Naabuduka,
00:05:40 -->
00:05:46
we worship you but this Ka, Allah SWT
00:05:46 -->
00:05:49
brought it before Naabudu, so this Ka is
00:05:49 -->
00:05:52
basically the pronoun, Naabudu, we worship, Ka, you
00:05:52 -->
00:05:56
okay, Naabuduka, this Ka came before why did
00:05:56 -->
00:05:59
it come before, to create an exclusive meaning
00:05:59 -->
00:06:05
we worship no one but you Iyaka, i
00:06:05 -->
00:06:07
.e. we worship no one other than you
00:06:09 -->
00:06:12
when we come to that level and we
00:06:12 -->
00:06:15
humble ourselves to the level that I worship
00:06:15 -->
00:06:18
no one but Allah, oh Allah I'm here
00:06:18 -->
00:06:21
to worship you, but you can't worship without
00:06:21 -->
00:06:25
His help you can't truly connect without His
00:06:25 -->
00:06:27
help and that's why right after that we
00:06:27 -->
00:06:27
say what?
00:06:28 -->
00:06:32
I am incapable of worshipping you, oh Allah,
00:06:33 -->
00:06:36
I don't have the ability, I don't have
00:06:36 -->
00:06:38
the heart, we are filled with sins, my
00:06:38 -->
00:06:41
heart is hardened, I don't have the ability
00:06:41 -->
00:06:44
to worship you except Iyaka Nastain, if you
00:06:44 -->
00:06:47
help me do this and we say this
00:06:47 -->
00:06:51
17 times a day and that is the
00:06:51 -->
00:06:55
key to connecting with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
00:06:55 -->
00:06:59
'ala and having the presence right, Sheikh Ramadan
00:06:59 -->
00:07:02
Al-Buti he said very beautifully he said
00:07:02 -->
00:07:04
the keys to connecting to Allah Subhanahu Wa
00:07:04 -->
00:07:07
Ta'ala are two i.e. your presence
00:07:07 -->
00:07:09
in the ibadah, number one is Al-Azm
00:07:09 -->
00:07:13
you must, deep down inside you must develop
00:07:13 -->
00:07:17
a conviction, I need to connect with Allah
00:07:17 -->
00:07:21
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala you must develop this
00:07:21 -->
00:07:25
connection with Allah that I needed to connect
00:07:25 -->
00:07:26
with Allah, Al-Azm I am going to
00:07:26 -->
00:07:29
be conscious in my Salah, I am going
00:07:29 -->
00:07:31
to put away all my distractions I am
00:07:31 -->
00:07:33
going to do, like you create a plan,
00:07:33 -->
00:07:34
you are like I am going to do
00:07:34 -->
00:07:35
this I am going to make this happen,
00:07:36 -->
00:07:39
and the second one second part of that
00:07:39 -->
00:07:40
Al-Azm, now you have made the plan,
00:07:41 -->
00:07:44
the follow through the second part of it
00:07:44 -->
00:07:47
is the follow through can we move the
00:07:47 -->
00:07:49
chairs a little bit forward so that as
00:07:49 -->
00:07:51
people are coming in and stuff like that
00:07:53 -->
00:07:56
it is easier for people, we have enough
00:07:56 -->
00:08:02
space in the front so the first part
00:08:02 -->
00:08:03
is you make a determined plan that you
00:08:03 -->
00:08:05
are going to connect with Allah Subhanahu Wa
00:08:05 -->
00:08:06
Ta'ala and the second part of that
00:08:06 -->
00:08:12
equation is that you that two elements that
00:08:12 -->
00:08:15
we talked about that you humble yourself in
00:08:15 -->
00:08:16
front of Allah, that oh Allah I have
00:08:16 -->
00:08:19
made a plan I really want to have
00:08:19 -->
00:08:21
presence with you, I really want to be
00:08:21 -->
00:08:23
able to be present when I am praying,
00:08:23 -->
00:08:25
I really want to connect with you my
00:08:25 -->
00:08:27
heart is aching and longing to connect with
00:08:27 -->
00:08:30
you, and I am humbling myself in front
00:08:30 -->
00:08:33
of you, help me oh Allah, allow me
00:08:33 -->
00:08:35
to be connected to you, because if Allah
00:08:35 -->
00:08:38
allows you to be connected then nobody can
00:08:38 -->
00:08:42
disconnect you it is only Allah who will
00:08:42 -->
00:08:45
allow you to do that, now in order
00:08:45 -->
00:08:49
for us to get into that there is
00:08:49 -->
00:08:50
a small portion that I am going to
00:08:50 -->
00:09:01
read which is everything in life if
00:09:01 -->
00:09:04
it is stripped away of etiquettes then it
00:09:04 -->
00:09:10
becomes completely of no value to anyone today
00:09:10 -->
00:09:11
if we ate food and then we took
00:09:11 -->
00:09:13
that pizza and we took out the pizza
00:09:13 -->
00:09:14
from the boxes and we put the pizza
00:09:14 -->
00:09:17
on the floor and then let's rub the
00:09:17 -->
00:09:19
cheese on the floor and let's eat that
00:09:20 -->
00:09:21
would you do that?
00:09:21 -->
00:09:23
No, there are certain etiquettes of how you
00:09:23 -->
00:09:26
are going to eat something, there are etiquettes
00:09:26 -->
00:09:29
to everything, similarly there are etiquettes to knowledge,
00:09:29 -->
00:09:31
there are etiquettes to learning and it is
00:09:31 -->
00:09:32
a small portion that I wanted to read
00:09:32 -->
00:09:36
but I think it exemplifies a really powerful
00:09:36 -->
00:09:42
reality so he says, today all of us
00:09:42 -->
00:09:47
are here the author he says, knowledge is
00:09:47 -->
00:09:53
worship of your heart you are coming to
00:09:53 -->
00:09:56
seek knowledge about Ramadan it's an ibadah, the
00:09:56 -->
00:09:58
way you are standing in front of Allah
00:09:58 -->
00:10:00
the way we pray, the way we do
00:10:00 -->
00:10:03
all of that, this is ibadah it's worship
00:10:08 -->
00:10:11
and it is the rectification of your inner
00:10:11 -->
00:10:15
side nobody knows what's inside of you we
00:10:15 -->
00:10:18
all deal with each other, with our externals
00:10:19 -->
00:10:22
what's embedded in our hearts, what feelings I
00:10:22 -->
00:10:24
have, what thoughts I'm having, all of that
00:10:24 -->
00:10:28
is inside, only Allah knows that but through
00:10:28 -->
00:10:31
ilm we can rectify that ...
00:10:36 -->
00:10:41
and it is that closeness internal closeness that
00:10:41 -->
00:10:43
will allow us to get close to Allah
00:10:44 -->
00:10:45
...
00:10:49 -->
00:10:49
...
00:10:51 -->
00:10:53
like it is not possible for you and
00:10:53 -->
00:10:56
I to pray without having wudu likewise it
00:10:56 -->
00:10:59
is not possible for us to understand and
00:10:59 -->
00:11:02
have presence in our ibadah, in our worship
00:11:02 -->
00:11:04
until we do the wudu of our hearts,
00:11:05 -->
00:11:10
we cleanse our hearts what do we cleanse
00:11:10 -->
00:11:10
our hearts for?
00:11:12 -->
00:11:13
...
00:11:14 -->
00:11:17
my heart will not be able to be
00:11:17 -->
00:11:20
present if it is filled with all the
00:11:20 -->
00:11:23
filth of our sins I can stand and
00:11:23 -->
00:11:24
say ...
00:11:24 -->
00:11:27
but deep down inside my heart is filled
00:11:27 -->
00:11:31
with sins so before for me to be
00:11:31 -->
00:11:34
able to feel this connection with Allah I
00:11:34 -->
00:11:37
must focus on my heart, what is my
00:11:37 -->
00:11:38
heart filled with?
00:11:40 -->
00:11:42
what type of beliefs is it filled with?
00:11:43 -->
00:11:44
do they get me closer to Allah?
00:11:44 -->
00:11:46
what is my opinion of Allah?
00:11:48 -->
00:11:49
what do I think of Allah?
00:11:51 -->
00:11:51
...
00:11:51 -->
00:11:52
...
00:11:55 -->
00:11:55
...
00:11:55 -->
00:11:56
...
00:11:56 -->
00:11:59
...
00:12:03 -->
00:12:07
...
00:12:08 -->
00:12:08
...
00:12:10 -->
00:12:13
...
00:12:13 -->
00:12:15
...
00:12:15 -->
00:12:15
...
00:12:15 -->
00:12:16
...
00:12:19 -->
00:12:23
...
00:12:26 -->
00:12:30
...
00:12:33 -->
00:12:36
...
00:12:40 -->
00:12:40
...
00:12:40 -->
00:12:41
...
00:12:41 -->
00:12:41
...
00:12:41 -->
00:12:43
...
00:12:50 -->

00:30:50 -->

...
00:30:53 -->
00:30:55
...
00:30:55 -->
00:30:56
...
00:30:56 -->
00:31:01
But then, you know, with being behind the
00:31:01 -->
00:31:02
stage and you get to hang out with
00:31:02 -->
00:31:05
some people, you actually quickly realize that, oh
00:31:05 -->
00:31:07
wow, there's like a massive gap between who
00:31:07 -->
00:31:09
they are on stage and what they are
00:31:09 -->
00:31:10
off stage.
00:31:11 -->
00:31:15
The only person that I felt like, in
00:31:15 -->
00:31:18
my personal interactions, I felt like that person
00:31:18 -->
00:31:21
was on stage and off stage the exact
00:31:21 -->
00:31:23
same, no matter how many times I interacted
00:31:23 -->
00:31:24
with him, was Mufti Meen.
00:31:26 -->
00:31:29
Like, I met this person, like, it doesn't
00:31:29 -->
00:31:31
matter, like, bro, you meet him in a
00:31:31 -->
00:31:33
street and you meet him on a stage,
00:31:33 -->
00:31:34
he's the same guy.
00:31:34 -->
00:31:37
Like, there's no, like, you feel like, oh,
00:31:37 -->
00:31:40
you're talking, like, oh, this is how you
00:31:40 -->
00:31:41
are in reality.
00:31:42 -->
00:31:43
Like, subhanAllah.
00:31:43 -->
00:31:46
Like, he's like, you know, all of this,
00:31:46 -->
00:31:48
like, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant
00:31:48 -->
00:31:49
us the ability.
00:31:49 -->
00:31:51
Like, and he's having breakfast.
00:31:52 -->
00:31:54
And I'm like, wow, this is exactly, like,
00:31:54 -->
00:31:55
you feel like, oh, wow, I'm, like, listening
00:31:55 -->
00:31:57
to a lecture at breakfast, right?
00:31:57 -->
00:31:58
This is how he is, mashaAllah.
00:31:58 -->
00:32:00
Very few people like that.
00:32:00 -->
00:32:01
May Allah grant us that.
00:32:02 -->
00:32:04
And the ones who are really close to
00:32:04 -->
00:32:05
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:32:05 -->
00:32:07
May Allah enter us from those.
00:32:07 -->
00:32:13
And he says, This is, I can't go
00:32:13 -->
00:32:15
into the details of this because none of
00:32:15 -->
00:32:16
us are going to achieve it.
00:32:16 -->
00:32:17
So he's like, forget about this.
00:32:17 -->
00:32:19
You know, alhamdulillah, we know that's where we
00:32:19 -->
00:32:20
need to aim.
00:32:21 -->
00:32:25
And if Allah wills, The only thing we're
00:32:25 -->
00:32:27
looking for is Allah allows us to be
00:32:27 -->
00:32:28
like them, then there is nothing that can
00:32:28 -->
00:32:29
stop me from doing that.
00:32:30 -->
00:32:31
But you should know that that is the
00:32:31 -->
00:32:32
goal.
00:32:33 -->
00:32:34
Okay?
00:32:37 -->
00:32:39
That you become that person who turns away
00:32:39 -->
00:32:41
from everything other than Allah subhanahu wa ta
00:32:41 -->
00:32:42
'ala.
00:32:47 -->
00:32:49
As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
00:32:49 -->
00:32:53
the Quran, O Prophet of Allah, say Allah.
00:33:01 -->
00:33:02
Tell them, Allah.
00:33:02 -->
00:33:04
If they wake up to the sound of
00:33:04 -->
00:33:06
Allah, that's great.
00:33:07 -->
00:33:09
But if they don't, let them be lost
00:33:09 -->
00:33:10
in their world.
00:33:13 -->
00:33:15
Let them be, you know, all the polemics
00:33:15 -->
00:33:16
they want to do and everything.
00:33:17 -->
00:33:17
Let them be in that.
00:33:18 -->
00:33:20
Let them fight over little things, right?
00:33:23 -->
00:33:24
This is something that we're trying to achieve.
00:33:24 -->
00:33:26
So this is the category that we're trying
00:33:26 -->
00:33:26
to achieve.
00:33:32 -->
00:33:35
This is the fasting of the pious individuals.
00:33:38 -->
00:33:40
This is that I want to stay away
00:33:40 -->
00:33:44
from as many possible sins as possible while
00:33:44 -->
00:33:44
I fast.
00:33:45 -->
00:33:47
Sin of my eyes, sin of my ears.
00:33:47 -->
00:33:48
And he's going to talk about each one
00:33:48 -->
00:33:49
of this in detail.
00:33:49 -->
00:33:50
Okay?
00:33:50 -->
00:33:52
And that's why I think this chapter is
00:33:52 -->
00:33:54
so relevant for the students that are going
00:33:54 -->
00:33:54
to university.
00:33:55 -->
00:33:56
But powerfully written, mashallah.
00:33:57 -->
00:33:57
Right?
00:33:57 -->
00:33:59
The first one.
00:34:01 -->
00:34:01
Okay?
00:34:02 -->
00:34:05
How do we achieve this state of the
00:34:05 -->
00:34:06
second level fasting?
00:34:06 -->
00:34:09
He says, There are six things we need
00:34:09 -->
00:34:09
to master.
00:34:11 -->
00:34:11
Okay?
00:34:11 -->
00:34:13
The six to master.
00:34:13 -->
00:34:15
There are six things you need to master.
00:34:16 -->
00:34:22
The first one is Which is to lower
00:34:22 -->
00:34:22
our gaze.
00:34:23 -->
00:34:24
For guys and the girls.
00:34:27 -->
00:34:27
What does that mean?
00:34:28 -->
00:34:35
He says, It is that I prevent my
00:34:35 -->
00:34:42
gaze from expanding to that or from reaching
00:34:42 -->
00:34:44
to that which Allah has not allowed me
00:34:44 -->
00:34:45
to see.
00:34:46 -->
00:34:48
And it is not something haram.
00:34:49 -->
00:34:53
It is It is something rebukeable or it
00:34:53 -->
00:34:54
is something disliked.
00:34:55 -->
00:34:56
You can still look at it.
00:34:57 -->
00:34:58
But it's something disliked.
00:34:59 -->
00:35:02
It's not that you prevent even the first
00:35:02 -->
00:35:03
step because you have makrooh.
00:35:03 -->
00:35:05
Then after that comes haram.
00:35:05 -->
00:35:10
So not to even look at that which
00:35:10 -->
00:35:12
will open the doors for you to become
00:35:12 -->
00:35:13
easier to look at the haram.
00:35:15 -->
00:35:15
Okay?
00:35:19 -->
00:35:20
Why is that?
00:35:21 -->
00:35:22
Why does he say that?
00:35:23 -->
00:35:28
Because try praying Salatul Isha after you watched
00:35:28 -->
00:35:29
Interstellar.
00:35:31 -->
00:35:32
Okay?
00:35:32 -->
00:35:33
What happens?
00:35:34 -->
00:35:35
You are praying in the black hole.
00:35:36 -->
00:35:37
Allahu Akbar.
00:35:38 -->
00:35:40
You are extending your hand like you are
00:35:40 -->
00:35:42
touching through time and space.
00:35:42 -->
00:35:44
Because your entire brain is occupied with that.
00:35:45 -->
00:35:47
So what I see with my eyes, what
00:35:47 -->
00:35:50
I hear, it's not possible that it's not
00:35:50 -->
00:35:51
going to have an effect on me.
00:35:53 -->
00:35:57
Because as Imam Ghazali said, My eyes and
00:35:57 -->
00:35:59
ears are windows to my heart.
00:36:00 -->
00:36:04
What I allow, if I open my eyes,
00:36:04 -->
00:36:06
open my windows, open my ears, if I
00:36:06 -->
00:36:08
allow whatever I allow to enter in my
00:36:08 -->
00:36:11
heart, it will find its space in the
00:36:11 -->
00:36:11
heart.
00:36:14 -->
00:36:15
And when it finds its space in the
00:36:15 -->
00:36:21
heart, then other things cannot find space.
00:36:24 -->
00:36:30
So he says, It is that I am
00:36:30 -->
00:36:32
going to stay away from everything.
00:36:33 -->
00:36:35
Every single thing.
00:36:38 -->
00:36:41
It occupies and distracts my heart.
00:36:43 -->
00:36:44
It distracts it.
00:36:46 -->
00:36:49
It distracts us from the dhikr, the remembrance
00:36:49 -->
00:36:49
of Allah.
00:36:52 -->
00:36:57
So I don't want to look at anything
00:36:57 -->
00:36:58
that will distract me.
00:36:59 -->
00:37:00
I don't want to look at anything that
00:37:00 -->
00:37:01
is makrooh.
00:37:01 -->
00:37:03
I mean it will lead me to haram.
00:37:03 -->
00:37:06
Or it is mazmoom, i.e. it is
00:37:06 -->
00:37:09
not something, it's disliked.
00:37:09 -->
00:37:10
You should stay away from it.
00:37:11 -->
00:37:12
It's rebuke-able, in fact.
00:37:14 -->
00:37:16
Listen to this hadith, it's so powerful.
00:37:16 -->
00:37:22
The Prophet ﷺ says, One glance.
00:37:23 -->
00:37:24
I look at something once.
00:37:26 -->
00:37:27
It is an arrow.
00:37:29 -->
00:37:31
Filled with poison.
00:37:31 -->
00:37:32
It's a poisonous arrow.
00:37:34 -->
00:37:39
It is a poisonous arrow that Iblis shoots
00:37:39 -->
00:37:40
into your heart.
00:37:42 -->
00:37:45
فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا خَوْفًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ You saw something
00:37:45 -->
00:37:46
haram.
00:37:47 -->
00:37:49
And if you looked at it once, a
00:37:49 -->
00:37:52
poisonous arrow from Iblis was shot through your
00:37:52 -->
00:37:53
eyes into your heart.
00:37:54 -->
00:37:56
The poison of Shaytan entered your heart.
00:37:57 -->
00:37:59
But if you turned away, like I can't
00:37:59 -->
00:37:59
look at that.
00:38:01 -->
00:38:04
فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا Whosoever left it, خَوْفًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ
00:38:04 -->
00:38:07
عَزَّ وَجَلِّ You left it because you honestly
00:38:07 -->
00:38:09
were afraid of Allah ﷻ and you're like,
00:38:09 -->
00:38:10
I'm fasting and I'm not going to watch
00:38:10 -->
00:38:10
it.
00:38:10 -->
00:38:11
I'm not going to look at this.
00:38:12 -->
00:38:13
It's haram for me to look at it.
00:38:14 -->
00:38:20
آتَاهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ إِيمَانًا Allah will give
00:38:20 -->
00:38:21
that person iman.
00:38:23 -->
00:38:26
يَجِدُ حَلَوَتَهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ You will be able
00:38:26 -->
00:38:29
to taste the sweetness of your iman in
00:38:29 -->
00:38:29
your heart.
00:38:30 -->
00:38:32
May Allah ﷻ grant us that, Ya Rabb.
00:38:40 -->
00:38:43
And Jabi ﷺ says in another narration, he
00:38:43 -->
00:38:47
says, five things break our spiritual fasts.
00:38:47 -->
00:38:49
الْكَذِبُ When I lie.
00:38:51 -->
00:38:55
والْغِيبَةُ Backbiting.
00:38:56 -->
00:38:58
والنَّميمَةُ Slander.
00:39:00 -->
00:39:05
والْيَمِينُ الكَذِب When I take a false oath.
00:39:06 -->
00:39:09
والنَّظْرُ بِالشَّهْوَةِ This is the point.
00:39:09 -->
00:39:11
And to look at something with lust.
00:39:12 -->
00:39:13
A lustful gaze.
00:39:19 -->
00:39:21
So how can we protect our...
00:39:21 -->
00:39:23
What are some of the practical things that
00:39:23 -->
00:39:24
we must talk about this?
00:39:24 -->
00:39:25
What do you guys think we can do
00:39:25 -->
00:39:26
to actually help ourselves in Ramadan?
00:39:28 -->
00:39:31
Practically to help our...
00:39:31 -->
00:39:32
Protect our eyes.
00:39:33 -->
00:39:34
Other than wearing sunglasses.
00:39:39 -->
00:39:39
Yeah?
00:39:40 -->
00:39:40
What are some practical?
00:39:42 -->
00:39:42
Okay.
00:39:42 -->
00:39:45
Being busy will help you getting distracted from
00:39:45 -->
00:39:46
these things.
00:39:46 -->
00:39:46
Okay.
00:39:46 -->
00:39:47
What else?
00:39:47 -->
00:39:51
Practically what else can we do to prevent...
00:39:53 -->
00:39:54
Or let me ask a better question.
00:39:54 -->
00:39:56
Where do you think we go...
00:39:56 -->
00:39:57
Where eyes...
00:39:57 -->
00:40:00
Where do you think our eyesights end up
00:40:00 -->
00:40:02
seeing the most haram?
00:40:07 -->
00:40:09
In social media.
00:40:10 -->
00:40:10
Social media.
00:40:11 -->
00:40:12
You want to do a quick test?
00:40:13 -->
00:40:14
Take out your phone.
00:40:14 -->
00:40:16
You don't need to tell me.
00:40:16 -->
00:40:18
Take out your phone and open screen time
00:40:18 -->
00:40:18
and see how much...
00:40:19 -->
00:40:21
How much Instagram time you guys have.
00:40:24 -->
00:40:24
You don't need to share.
00:40:24 -->
00:40:26
Just do it on your own.
00:40:27 -->
00:40:28
It's a personal reflection.
00:40:32 -->
00:40:33
Some people will be like...
00:40:35 -->
00:40:35
Huh?
00:40:36 -->
00:40:36
12 minutes.
00:40:36 -->
00:40:37
12 minutes.
00:40:37 -->
00:40:38
MashaAllah.
00:40:40 -->
00:40:40
Allahumma barik.
00:40:42 -->
00:40:42
Okay.
00:40:43 -->
00:40:43
40 minutes.
00:40:45 -->
00:40:45
Zero.
00:40:46 -->
00:40:46
MashaAllah.
00:40:46 -->
00:40:47
He doesn't have any Instagram.
00:40:47 -->
00:40:47
That's amazing.
00:40:51 -->
00:40:52
What about YouTube?
00:40:54 -->
00:40:55
Yeah.
00:40:55 -->
00:40:56
That's a problem.
00:40:57 -->
00:40:57
See?
00:40:57 -->
00:40:58
That's social media too.
00:41:00 -->
00:41:00
Okay.
00:41:01 -->
00:41:02
What's your average screen time?
00:41:02 -->
00:41:04
So, what...
00:41:04 -->
00:41:05
Tell me some of the screen times.
00:41:09 -->
00:41:09
From the guys.
00:41:10 -->
00:41:10
Some of the screen times.
00:41:12 -->
00:41:14
11 hours and 19 minutes.
00:41:14 -->
00:41:15
Ya Allah.
00:41:18 -->
00:41:18
What do you do?
00:41:18 -->
00:41:20
Like you sleep with your phone like...
00:41:21 -->
00:41:22
Allahu Akbar.
00:41:24 -->
00:41:25
11 hours.
00:41:25 -->
00:41:25
What was that?
00:41:31 -->
00:41:32
Huh?
00:41:33 -->
00:41:34
Mine is probably like 6 hours.
00:41:37 -->
00:41:38
I'm just like...
00:41:38 -->
00:41:38
Hello.
00:41:38 -->
00:41:38
Hello.
00:41:38 -->
00:41:39
Hey.
00:41:39 -->
00:41:40
Who's dying?
00:41:43 -->
00:41:44
So...
00:41:46 -->
00:41:48
So, what do you think you guys can
00:41:48 -->
00:41:49
do to actually...
00:41:51 -->
00:41:51
Right?
00:41:51 -->
00:41:52
Let's talk about cell phone.
00:41:54 -->
00:41:54
Right?
00:41:55 -->
00:41:57
What are some of the practical ways that
00:41:57 -->
00:41:58
we can actually limit our screen time?
00:42:01 -->
00:42:02
Delete Instagram.
00:42:02 -->
00:42:02
Yeah?
00:42:04 -->
00:42:05
I usually...
00:42:05 -->
00:42:08
Every Ramadan, I usually cancel all subscriptions for
00:42:08 -->
00:42:08
one month.
00:42:10 -->
00:42:12
If there's any subscriptions, I would cancel it.
00:42:12 -->
00:42:13
Or put it on hold.
00:42:14 -->
00:42:16
If you don't have it, you won't watch
00:42:16 -->
00:42:16
it.
00:42:17 -->
00:42:17
Okay?
00:42:18 -->
00:42:20
If you have a TV at home, turn
00:42:20 -->
00:42:21
your TV to the other side.
00:42:22 -->
00:42:22
No, I'm serious.
00:42:22 -->
00:42:23
Practical things, right?
00:42:23 -->
00:42:24
Because it's like...
00:42:24 -->
00:42:26
The more obstacles you put towards your habit
00:42:26 -->
00:42:28
loop, the less that you're going to go.
00:42:29 -->
00:42:29
Yes.
00:42:35 -->
00:42:37
You really trust your friends.
00:42:38 -->
00:42:38
MashaAllah.
00:42:40 -->
00:42:40
Huh?
00:42:42 -->
00:42:42
Okay.
00:42:42 -->
00:42:44
One of the other ways you could do...
00:42:44 -->
00:42:45
And...
00:42:45 -->
00:42:47
You know you get these boxes?
00:42:47 -->
00:42:48
Lockable boxes?
00:42:49 -->
00:42:50
Yeah, you get these lockable...
00:42:50 -->
00:42:51
That's...
00:42:51 -->
00:42:51
Yeah.
00:42:52 -->
00:42:53
You took his phone?
00:42:54 -->
00:42:54
Wow.
00:42:55 -->
00:42:55
MashaAllah.
00:42:56 -->
00:42:57
So, you can put...
00:42:57 -->
00:42:59
Like, what you can do is you can
00:42:59 -->
00:42:59
put your phone away.
00:43:01 -->
00:43:03
Seven days or 18 hours and stuff.
00:43:04 -->
00:43:05
What I learned was...
00:43:05 -->
00:43:06
You know...
00:43:06 -->
00:43:07
Do you guys know Dr. Shadi?
00:43:08 -->
00:43:10
Dr. Shadi, he moved...
00:43:10 -->
00:43:11
So, he has a rule.
00:43:12 -->
00:43:13
He went to his house.
00:43:14 -->
00:43:15
So, his phone never...
00:43:15 -->
00:43:18
His iPhone never leaves his desk.
00:43:19 -->
00:43:23
He got it mounted, glued onto his table.
00:43:25 -->
00:43:26
So, if he needs to...
00:43:26 -->
00:43:28
I message, he has to come and he
00:43:28 -->
00:43:29
has to like...
00:43:29 -->
00:43:30
Like, record the message.
00:43:30 -->
00:43:31
That's the only way he can...
00:43:31 -->
00:43:32
So, he still has WhatsApp and stuff.
00:43:33 -->
00:43:34
But then, he will only have it.
00:43:34 -->
00:43:36
And then, the rest of the time, what
00:43:36 -->
00:43:37
do you think he's walking with?
00:43:38 -->
00:43:39
Flip phone.
00:43:41 -->
00:43:42
No.
00:43:42 -->
00:43:44
Outside, he's literally walking with a flip phone.
00:43:47 -->
00:43:47
Okay?
00:43:48 -->
00:43:50
And he made all of his students also...
00:43:50 -->
00:43:51
He was trying to convince me.
00:43:52 -->
00:43:53
It didn't work.
00:43:54 -->
00:43:55
I'm being honest.
00:43:55 -->
00:43:56
It didn't work.
00:43:56 -->
00:43:58
I bought the flip phone but never ended
00:43:58 -->
00:43:58
up using it.
00:43:59 -->
00:44:00
Alright?
00:44:00 -->
00:44:02
But the reality is...
00:44:02 -->
00:44:04
Phone is going to be one big thing.
00:44:04 -->
00:44:05
And do you think you'll be able to
00:44:05 -->
00:44:05
like...
00:44:05 -->
00:44:08
Abruptly cancel your phone addiction right away?
00:44:09 -->
00:44:09
No.
00:44:10 -->
00:44:11
You have to start now.
00:44:12 -->
00:44:14
So, you look at your screen times.
00:44:14 -->
00:44:15
And you put...
00:44:16 -->
00:44:18
In an iPhone, you can set that when
00:44:18 -->
00:44:20
you hit your desired screen time, it will
00:44:20 -->
00:44:21
lock all your apps.
00:44:22 -->
00:44:23
There's a setting you can do.
00:44:23 -->
00:44:24
So, it will lock all your apps.
00:44:25 -->
00:44:27
So, then you're conscious.
00:44:27 -->
00:44:28
But then, that's a true honesty that you
00:44:28 -->
00:44:30
have to be with yourself because you can
00:44:30 -->
00:44:31
quickly like unlock to...
00:44:32 -->
00:44:32
Right?
00:44:32 -->
00:44:34
It's an honesty that you'll have to do
00:44:34 -->
00:44:35
that.
00:44:35 -->
00:44:37
But I think getting our phones in check
00:44:38 -->
00:44:40
is definitely going to be one of the
00:44:40 -->
00:44:42
biggest helpers in Ramadan for us.
00:44:42 -->
00:44:43
Okay?
00:44:45 -->
00:44:46
What other things?
00:44:46 -->
00:44:47
Our eyesight.
00:44:47 -->
00:44:49
I believe if you're on the campus, you
00:44:49 -->
00:44:50
know...
00:44:50 -->
00:44:52
This year Ramadan is at least in the
00:44:52 -->
00:44:52
winter.
00:44:53 -->
00:44:53
So, you're good.
00:44:54 -->
00:44:55
Summertime, it's bad.
00:44:55 -->
00:44:56
Right?
00:44:56 -->
00:44:58
But like in, you know, winter time, people
00:44:58 -->
00:44:58
are still dressed.
00:44:59 -->
00:44:59
Covered.
00:45:00 -->
00:45:00
I don't know.
00:45:01 -->
00:45:02
I hope so.
00:45:02 -->
00:45:03
I hope so.
00:45:03 -->
00:45:04
I don't know.
00:45:05 -->
00:45:05
Okay?
00:45:06 -->
00:45:08
Anything else that we can do to help
00:45:08 -->
00:45:11
ourselves protect our eyes from this evil?
00:45:11 -->
00:45:13
Or anything else that we use?
00:45:15 -->
00:45:15
Okay?
00:45:16 -->
00:45:16
Our postures.
00:45:17 -->
00:45:18
Like, consciously walking, looking down.
00:45:21 -->
00:45:21
Right?
00:45:21 -->
00:45:23
If you're just looking down, it doesn't have
00:45:23 -->
00:45:24
to be like...
00:45:26 -->
00:45:28
Like, just look down.
00:45:28 -->
00:45:28
Right?
00:45:28 -->
00:45:30
Just gaze down.
00:45:31 -->
00:45:34
Because if you read the Shama'il Tirmidhi,
00:45:34 -->
00:45:35
they talk about it.
00:45:35 -->
00:45:38
That Rasulullah S.A.W. Right?
00:45:38 -->
00:45:40
Most of his gaze was on the ground.
00:45:42 -->
00:45:43
Most of his gaze, you know.
00:45:43 -->
00:45:47
جُلُّ نَظَرِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ Majority of the time,
00:45:47 -->
00:45:48
he just gazed at the earth.
00:45:48 -->
00:45:50
It was just like non-focused gaze towards
00:45:50 -->
00:45:51
the earth.
00:45:52 -->
00:45:52
Okay?
00:45:52 -->
00:45:55
If you develop that habit, then it becomes...
00:45:55 -->
00:45:56
Then you also...
00:45:56 -->
00:45:59
It really provides you sukoon in life.
00:46:00 -->
00:46:01
Because there are people who are like looking
00:46:01 -->
00:46:01
like this.
00:46:02 -->
00:46:03
And they will pick up...
00:46:03 -->
00:46:05
They call them gazers in psychology.
00:46:05 -->
00:46:05
Right?
00:46:05 -->
00:46:07
So, they pick up on little...
00:46:08 -->
00:46:09
Oh, she was sitting there.
00:46:09 -->
00:46:09
He was sitting there.
00:46:10 -->
00:46:11
Everyone's like...
00:46:11 -->
00:46:12
Right?
00:46:13 -->
00:46:16
And that really gets to your head eventually.
00:46:17 -->
00:46:18
But if you're gazing on the ground the
00:46:18 -->
00:46:20
entire time and you know where you're headed...
00:46:20 -->
00:46:21
I mean, don't bump into people like that.
00:46:21 -->
00:46:22
But like...
00:46:22 -->
00:46:24
Enough of a gaze that you're just looking
00:46:24 -->
00:46:24
like this.
00:46:24 -->
00:46:25
So, you know there are people around.
00:46:25 -->
00:46:27
But you're not actively looking.
00:46:27 -->
00:46:30
That is something that really helped when I
00:46:30 -->
00:46:30
was going to university.
00:46:31 -->
00:46:31
Right?
00:46:31 -->
00:46:32
It really helped.
