			For me
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			main thing
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			that will cause me to
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:25
			do that the 101
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:38
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was such a big Marine,
and
		
00:00:39 --> 00:01:06
			welcome back to another episode of the strangers. And in this episode, I wanted to share a very,
very important piece of advice. And that is that the Muslim stranger needs to be aware of shame
shaytaan and his traps. And so one must realize that there has been an ongoing battle since the
beginning of time.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:22
			And that is the enmity between a bliss shaitan. And, man, and so let us not get the story of our own
father Adam Alayhis Salam,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:28
			and how when Allah subhanahu Attallah created him with his own hands and honored him and preferred
him over others. And how Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded a bliss among all the angels to make
sujood to prostrate down to this creation of Allah and how IBLEES he refused, he refused out of
ignorance and pry and so he said, on a high Romain, Conoco, Tony Minnaar Wahaca who mean tween, he
said, I am better than him, I am better than Adam. You created me from fire, and you only created
him from claim from the ground. And so Allah subhanahu Atana he cursed him, and he ordered him out
of Jannah. So as a result, what did he say? How did IBLEES respond? Not by asking Allah for
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:03
			forgiveness? No, he said, Furby ma away 20 The Aqua who Daniela whom sweet Otto can muster cream,
because you have caused me to go astray My Lord, I will stand in wait for them. I will stand on your
straight path blocking them from following Your straight path to mela RT and Nahum. Member you need
ID him warming healthy him? Why are you mad at him? One Shama Edie him? Well, addigy do accelero
home shagreen
		
00:03:04 --> 00:04:06
			He said, Then, I will come to them from in front of them from behind them from their right from
their left, and you will not find most of them grateful to you. And so this is the reality. This is
the reality of the enmity between a bliss and mankind. And then after that, let us not forget how a
bliss deceived our father and mother, Adam and his wife Hawa, and how he caused them to eat from
that tree that they were forbidden to eat from the Allah forbade them from eating. And he tempted
them. He tempted them, saying to them, that if you were to eat from this tree, you will live
forever, or you will become angels. And so all of that was only because of his enmity for them. Not
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:59
			because he desired any good for them. No, because he hated them. He was envious of them. And he was
their enemy. And so as a result, Adam and Hawa ate from that tree. And as a result, they disobeyed
Allah. And as a result, Allah subhanahu wa Tada caused them to descend to this dunya. And so
reminding us of this story, ALLAH SubhanA who at the hand, it says to us, you have any Adam, Allah
calls upon us, as the children of Adam, trying to bring our minds back to that first day, bringing
our attention to that day, in which Allah subhana wa Tada caused our father Adam, to descend to the
earth. Allah says yeah, Benny Adam, lay
		
00:05:00 --> 00:06:03
			have T Nicoma shaytaan Oh Children of Adam, do not call Shaitan to lead you astray. Do not allow him
to tempt you. Come a Harada Abba ye come Meenal Jenna, don't let him do that. Don't let him tempt
you in the same way as he caused your father and your mother to be removed from Jana Yun Zhi Orion
whom alabaster Hoonah. What did he cause as a result of them eating from the tree, what happened was
that your clothes vanished. This was a consequence of them eating from the tree. And so they didn't
have any clothes, their private parts were exposed. And so Allah says, in who you're welcome, who
our cubby loo, who mean how you do later on, he Iblees. And he's trying his followers, his soldiers,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:47
			they see you from where you do not see them. And so this is the reality. This is the reality of the
enmity between shaitan and mankind. It has been ongoing since the beginning of time, since the day
Allah subhanho wa Taala created our father, Adam, it has said, and yes, of course he is our Father,
because we all come from him. We don't come from apes, we don't come from monkeys. We all come from
one human being one father, and that is Adam Alayhis Salam. So this is the reality. And so the war
goes on
		
00:06:48 --> 00:07:47
			this battle and the struggle, it goes on. And it will continue to go on until the last day until the
day of judgment. And so if we were to comprehend this fact, we would come to the realization of our
enemies, not only shaytaan not only his followers, not only his offspring, not only his descendants,
not only his soldiers, from the jinn, but also his followers, and his soldiers from mankind. And so
the shayateen are many, they are not only from among the jinn, but also there are Shayateen from
among mankind. And so if we were to comprehend this fact, we would realize that our enemies from
both the jinn and from mankind, they do not want us to remain upon the religion of Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:40
			Attallah. Rather, what do they want? They want us to abandon all of that. They want us to abandon it
in its totality, so that there is no more distinction between us and them. Yes, this is the reality
of their enmity for us. Don't become deluded, don't become this illusion into thinking that our
enemy wants good for us. Don't think that when the Western powers and when the Western governments,
they send their armies to fight and attack Muslims, killing innocent Muslim brothers and sisters
don't think that when they say we are not at war with Islam, don't think that they are telling the
truth. Rather, the reality is that they are at war with Islam. Why? Because they are the troops of
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			shaitan.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:40
			Even though clay you may Allah have mercy upon him, one of the great scholars of Islam, he says,
pointing out the many distractions and things that cause us to go astray. He says that in this dunya
the servant is tried and tested by many things. He is tried by his Shaohua by lustful desires, and
he is tried by his evil inclining knifes, his soul that always inclines towards evil and towards
fulfilling its evil desires. And also, he is tried by his deceiving shaitan. So every single one of
us has a Corinne has a shaitan that is attached to us, that commands us to commit evil that commands
us to disobey Allah Subhana. Who, what to Allah. He goes on to say his careens, his devil
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:59
			companions, and also what he sees around him in the dunya. All of this is a test for him, causes him
to go astray. He says, in such a situation, his patience runs out. And so this is why he goes
astray. And so the tests of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:11:00
			radon are great. The tests of shaitan of Iblees and his soldiers, his followers from the Djinn and
from mankind are great. And so they deceive the hearts of mankind. They deceive the mind the
feelings of men in an aggressive battle that has a roaring sounds that has foot soldiers that has
horses that are all brought for combat. And so Allah describes this when he says in Surah Al Assad
What steps is many satellites I mean whom be so Tika well actually the highlight him behind Lika wa
Raji Lika wa Shari, come fill and while he will, oh, lad, why the whom wanna Yeah, you do Homer
shaitan Illa Hurrah. Allah says commanding IBLEES deceive them, deceive whoever you can from among
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:26
			them with what with your voice, and also them with your horses, and your foot soldiers. And become a
partner with them in their wealth, and in their children and what and promise them and then Allah
says, but shaitan does not promise them anything except delusion. We'll take a quick break and be
right back as Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			Stories of glory
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:01
			from a habitual stammer to a spectacular array, I couldn't even confidently say his name
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:08
			could not even dream of speaking in front of 25 people

			By binding several millions of his fans driven 10s of 1000s to turn falsehood to ashes and accept

00:12:35 --> 00:12:50
			is Dr. Zakir Naik in every man passionate dying his passion data, his dream piece in every hope
infused with a blazing flame of the unstoppable
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:01
			conferred an honor with multiple international awards for his dava endeavors worldwide.

			Looking into your

			CV as labor I
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

			doctors Arkin, Mark in line chairman of the IRF Educational Trust and president of the Islamic
Research Foundation
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			and you're watching this TV solution for humanity
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			where truth is headed. Misleading conditions create confusion,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:58
			lack of knowledge and wisdom cause upheaval and commotion where truth is headed, manipulate
scripture and twisted facts emerge.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:11
			This wedding hidden truth creates false propaganda, meaning, chaos, disorder and turmoil in our
lives and the world order.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			But is there anyone with courage and wisdom?
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			What is the truth and who has the courage to act?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			Because it's your right to know the truth.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:40
			Watch truth prevail and lies PERISH IN TRUTH exposed by Dr. Zakir Naik next on Peace TV.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Welcome back. And one thing for us to realize is
		
00:15:00 --> 00:16:08
			Is that shaitan when He comes to us? Where does he focus? Where does he aim act? He aims at our
weaknesses, he comes for our weaknesses. And that is what he crops us in. And so we can say here,
that if shaitan was expelled, if IBLEES was expelled out of Jannah, due to his envy, then we could
say that Adam Alayhis Salam was expelled from Jana, because of his desire, and his greed to
eternally stay in Jannah, as has been stated, by some scholars, and so, we see that what caused our
father Adam Alayhis Salam and his wife to be removed from Jana was that shaitan came and attacked a
weakness of his, and that was his desire, his desire to remain alive forever. Because shaitan told
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:37
			him that this tree, you see this tree here that Allah has forbidding you to eat from, if you were to
eat from it, the reason why you have been forbidden to eat from it is because if you were to eat
from it, you will live forever, you will never die. And so Adam alayhis, salam, his desire to live
forever. This came in, and he forgot about the Command of Allah, His prohibition to remain away from
this tree.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			And so today,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:17:31
			which I thought comes to you, he does not come to you, at one of your strong points. That's not how
he starts. So he doesn't come to you, knowing that you're a believer, knowing that you are a Muslim,
knowing that you are a stranger, he doesn't come to you to try to shake the very foundations of the
religion that are deeply stemmed in your heart. He doesn't come and make you don't ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada. From the beginning, no, he comes at your weak points, he looks for your weak points. And that
is what he tempts you with. So he knows that, for example, you are attracted to women. He knows that
this is your weak point. And so he exposes women to you, he comes to you. And although you usually
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:37
			lower your gaze, he whispers to you. There's no harm if I look at that woman,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			or he comes to others.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:18:34
			He called them he knows that they are addicted to drugs, or they're addicted to smoking. And these
people have abandoned all of that for the sake of Allah, and they have become strangers. So what
does he do? He comes to that weak point. And that person indulges in those sins, then he moves on to
the other, stronger points. And so that's why we previously mentioned that the shoe will have the
doubts that come to the minds of a Muslim. They only come through the door of a shallot from lustful
desires, once a person has lowered his guard, and allowed Shaitan to come in, to tempt him with his
Chawan his natural desires, and those desires stem from his soul once he allows Shaitan to come and
		
00:18:34 --> 00:19:32
			attack him there. And then once shaitan is done with that shaitan moves on to the Shewhart the
doubts about the very foundations of the deen. Also, false hopes, deceiving hopes and arrogance are
sharp weapons of shaitan. And so Allah subhanahu Attallah tells us describing him Yeah, you do him
well, human need him. Well now yeah, you do Homer che Pano Illa Hurrah. He promises them, and he
arouses desire in them. But shaitan does not promise them except, except delusions. And so this is
the reality. Don't think that these desires that you are being tempted to indulge yourself in, don't
think that true happiness is in fulfilling those desires? No. The reality is, is that shaitan is
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:59
			deluding you. He's deceiving you into thinking that this is the happy life, but the reality is that
he is only lying to you. And that's why on the day of judgment, He will come and he will
disassociate himself from you. He will say that don't blame me rather blame yourself when the Muslim
disobeyed Him and ignores him. He moves on. Then when they moved to Medina shaitan came to him and
when
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:54
			Jihad was proclaimed. Shaitan came to him and said, Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't go out for
jihad, you're gonna kill yourself, don't you want to enjoy yourself in this dunya. And so the true
believer, he ignores him, and goes out and achieves and attains the true happiness, and that is the
true happiness of a shahada of martyrdom. And so shaitan is a clear and open enemy to us. But yet
most of us have taken him as a close ally. Even though Allah says Walter who who to watch a Shaitan
in a hula coma, who will move in, do not follow the footsteps or shaitan for verily, he is an open
enemy to you, and yet we still follow him. And he causes man to go astray. But the question is, does
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:44
			he have control over us? Allah subhana who were to Hannah says, Call Rob be Bhima Hawaii Tony, Luiza
Yunnan nella whom Phil Oro, one over we are now home, a Gemma hain, il iba Giacomin Humann Lucullus.
When Allah tells us what a bliss had said, he said, Because you have caused me to go astray, Oh
Allah, I will beautify for them their actions in the dunya and I will cause all of them to go astray
except you are believing slaying your sincere slaves. Then Allah says, fall ahead as free raw tuna
hallelujah Mr. Clean, Allah La says this is my straight path. And then what does Allah say in a
baddie laser laka Allah Himself dawn in Manitoba, aka mean whom Allah when Allah says that, indeed
		
00:21:44 --> 00:22:43
			my slaves, you have no authority over them, except those who follow you from among those who have
gone astray. Adela also says what correlates shaitan lemma kudu, el amor in Allah wa Docomo adhoc,
on the Day of Judgment, after the affair has been established, and there is no more room to go back
to the dunya shaitan will come and he will say that Allah, He promised you the true promise. And I
promised you for love to come and I abandoned you. I promised you but I abandoned you. I betrayed
you. One I can Alia highly commensal. Don, ill, and how to come first job Tom Lee. And I had no
authority over you. I had no control no power over you. Except all I did was I invited you. I called
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:59
			you. And what did you do? You answered my call fell outta Lu Mooney, Waterloo and Fusa calm. So on
this day, do not blame me. Do not accuse me. Don't put any blame on me. Rather, blame your own
selves.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:58
			And so we say after all this, that there is actually hope at the end of the tunnel. And so it's not
game over, like many people think shaytaan overpowers them, and they think that it will there's no
way out. Their desires are overwhelming, and that there is no way out. We say no, there is a way
out. Yes, a bliss is a huge enemy. There is no greater enemy in this dunya compared to a bliss, and
he has so many troops, so many weapons of mass destruction, not killing lives, but rather exploding
and destroying hearts. And so we say that just like Allah subhana Hutan have created a bliss as a
huge and great and powerful enemy, such that people will think that there is no escape from him. We
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:55
			say that Allah has also made a huge and great way of refuge, a place where the slave of Allah can go
for protection from that great enemy. Whoever is protected in that fort. In that protection, there
is no way that any arrow no way that any weapon of shaitan can touch him or harm him. And that is
what Allah alluded to when he said, we're in Nyanza, what Amina shaytani Hassan first is the biller
in who sent me Johanna Halim. Allah says that if shaitan comes to you and tempts you with something
distracts you and tempts you, then what do you do? First is the biller seek protection with who with
Allah, for he is the author hearing, and the most knowledgeable in Alladhina taco, either Messiah
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			whom are evil min ash shaytani Tada Kuru for either who moves zero
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:52
			And Allah goes on to say, Verily those who fear Allah, if something of shaitan afflicts them, they
remember they wake up and they see the reality. Whenever you are tempted by shaitan don't think that
it is hopeless. Remember Allah seek refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala as a result, you will be able
to be protected from shaitan and his whisperings and his temptations besides that, do all that wish
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has advised us in protecting ourselves from shaitan such as
reciting certain verses of the Quran and reciting certain car at various times with these in sha
Allah Who to Hana we will be protected from this great enemy of ours. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:25:52 --> 00:26:18
			to protect us all the believing men and believing women and all you strangers out there from shaitan
and his whisperings, that having been said, we come to the end of this episode, and we will see you
all on another episode of the strangers Subhan Allah who will be Hamrick ash had a La ilaha illa and
