00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			In today's program, we are going to talk
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			about the benefits of using a smartphone to
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			save your life.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			The first thing that can happen is that
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:18
			if a young person misuses his smartphone, he
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			can be in danger because his time is
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			wasted.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			This is a very harmful thing for a
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			Muslim.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			In today's program, we are going to talk
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			about social media and smartphones.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			To discuss this topic, we have with us
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			brother Ahmed Hamid.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			Walaikum Assalam.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			Brother Ahmed, can you shed some light on
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			this topic?
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			How can young people who are busy with
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:54
			social media and smartphones, control themselves and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			take advantage of it?
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			We know that information and accessibility for everything,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			whether it is good or bad, is at
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			our fingertips.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			So, the young people who are living today,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:22
			their smartphones contain such things that it is
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			very important for them to avoid.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			Because whether we know it or not, we
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			are making them net-savvy or technology-savvy,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			and they are not able to survive without
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			a smartphone.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			Although a person can live without a smartphone,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			but in today's era, the relationship between a
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			young person and a smartphone is so deep
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			that it is like a basic need of
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			a youngster.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			So, the first thing that is harmful for
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			a young person to have a smartphone, if
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			he misuses it, it can become a threat
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			because his time is wasted the most.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			So, this is the most harmful thing for
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			a Muslim.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			For a Muslim, his time is very precious.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Allah SWT has sworn in the Qur'an,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:21
			of the time and the era, Allah has
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			sworn that all people are in loss.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			Except for these four categories of people, Allah
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			has shown success.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Fundamentally, it is used as a key to
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:40
			heaven.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:50
			But the time is the biggest asset of
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:50
			a Muslim.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			And when our young people get engaged on
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			smartphones, they don't even realize how many hours
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			they are spending on it.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			If you take any social media tool or
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			network, you won't even realize how much time
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			you are spending on it.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			If you use the same thing in a
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17
			sensible way, it will not harm you, but
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			it can be very beneficial for you.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			But when we talk about harm, the first
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			harm is that our time is wasted on
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			it.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			The second harm is that we are addicted
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			to it.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			Today, what we call addiction, there is an
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			addiction to alcohol, there is an addiction to
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			cigarettes, there is an addiction to drugs.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			Similarly, there is an addiction to smartphones.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			What does a person want as soon as
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			he wakes up?
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			A smartphone.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			Who does he touch before going to bed?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			A smartphone.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			So, a smartphone has become a part of
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			our lives in such a way that we
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			cannot live without it.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			Today, we see guests entering our house, and
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			the first thing they ask is, Wi-Fi.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			Wi-Fi password.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			So, we find out that we are living
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			in such a society, in such a society,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12
			in such a time, where social media can
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			be beneficial in a different way, and can
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			cause more harm than good.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			This is in our hands.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			This is our example, as we give, like
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:22
			a knife.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			You can kill someone with a knife, and
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			you can also cut vegetables with the same
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			knife and cook food.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			So, let's see how we use it.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			So, social media can be a reason for
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			wasting time, that's why it causes harm.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Social media is becoming an addiction for us,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			that's why it causes harm.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			In social media, there are such obscenities, and
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			such things are coming, which are hurting our
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			eyes.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			Our mind is being destroyed.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			That is, you are seeing something again and
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:02
			again, and your mind is being desensitized.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			That is, when you see something bad, and
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			you see it again and again, your heart
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			loses the feeling that you are seeing something
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			bad.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			This is also a big loss.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			We pray to Allah, to make our youth
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			use it correctly, and to save them from
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:20
			danger.
