00:00:00 --> 00:00:09
			I want to start off by giving you some statistics because I think that's a good way to kind of get a
grasp of the sociological statistics, or the situation in the West.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			So the truth is,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			according to BuzzFeed, which is one of the organizations that deals with
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			analytics
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			99.5%
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:35
			of teenagers under the age of 15, under the age of 15, have, according to this viewed some kind of
* in their lives.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			99.5 30%
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:49
			of those who view * in the Western world, including in America, and these places,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			are females.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			That's 30%,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			which is a growing number.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:14
			The average for someone to have * or relationship for the first time, the average age is a
mean age of 17.1 years, for a male.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			And about
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:24
			18 years for a female in this in this country and other countries, like in the West.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			The point being is you're dealing with a monster, you're dealing with
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			a fire, which cannot be extinguished.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			Easily
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			the industry, the * industry,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			the prostitution industry, the ESCO industry,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:59
			the pseudo institutional boyfriend and girlfriend relationships is too big for you to break, and you
will not succeed, and we will not succeed in just telling our children
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			to be patient.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:10
			just telling our young ones just be patient, it's not possible, we've come to that conclusion now,
statistically,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			it's not possible.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:20
			It's actually unfair, in my opinion, it's a kind of torture you're putting them through.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:36
			You cannot say Be patient as an indefinite thing. You have to say, Be patient, and then put a time
period, at least in that equation. Be patient until you finish your education. Be patient until
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:45
			you're 18 years old, be patient until and give a reasonable time period. So the advice to generation
one
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:57
			is that you need to we need to now think about our strategy. Because the old strategy of waiting for
this prince charming, who has the best job.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			And the biggest
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			bullet,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			that is not a successful strategy.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:17
			It's not a successful strategy, because that person might never come or he might, he might come
after a very long time. And all the things have happened to your daughter and or son.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Already, it's too late now.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:35
			And they become unmarketable, in fact, corrupted. They're not interested in marriage, because
they're getting what they need from elsewhere other than marriage, and you've lost your child in a
sense, because there is a gateway to all kinds of fiscal and Haram.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			And it's a gateway to
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:49
			leaving the dean actually, because it is a very potent and powerful thing. And the emotion of sexual
drive is one of the most aggressive emotions in the human
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			physiological composition.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			So I will say to you Be careful,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			be careful.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			Do not expect that which cannot be expected, but at the same time to generation to
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:21
			generation to have to have reasonable demands as well. Can't be some kind of 16 year old, who still
not self sufficient, doesn't understand the value of hard work.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:33
			And you just, you know you're in a relationship now how long relationship and then you go to your
father, or your mother, or both of them and say, you know, we want to be in a relationship. And I
want to do and
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:45
			this is also unreasonable. This is an unreasonable proposition. Because you haven't shown that
you're willing and ready to take the responsibility of marriage.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:59
			You're not ready yet possibly. You could there is there is a situation where you cannot be ready for
marriage, you're not able to handle that responsibility. You're just in love and love is a very
powerful emotion.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:08
			And that's why the value system is in place in Islam. The value system is there to protect you young
person from yourself.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			Because the well you can see what you can't see. Your father can sometimes see
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			what you cannot see,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			especially if exploitation is to do with it.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Allah subhanaw taala he tells us in the Quran
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			that the reason for marriage
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			is so you can have a partner, Lita, schooner, Eliza
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			and he says, well, Jaya Bina kumada Tawana
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:48
			that you're meant to have, the relationship of marriage is meant to be one where you're meant to
find tranquility in your partner.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala, he is the one who will put between you and your spouse,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			my word, love and mercy, and Rama.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:07
			Allah subhanaw taala has allowed that as a natural thing, love is not something which we despise in
Islam.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:22
			And we saying don't love your partner and these things, No, in fact, Allah has created us as
creatures that are in need of this emotion and in need of companionship. But it must be done in a
safe setting. And with the right structures in place.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			So what I say to the young people
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			is that you have to also understand,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			you cannot feel as if
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			you can get away with
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:46
			any relationship before marriage, because you know, the first humiliation will be a dunya
humiliation.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			You'll be humiliated in the dunya you'll be hurt. Love is a very powerful thing.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			There's a woman called Helen Fisher.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			She's a anthropologist, social anthropologist. And she deals with
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:09
			love. she deals with love she, she actually MRI scanned, you know, she MRI scanned
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:17
			people who are in love to see what kind of data she could collect.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			And she found some really unusual findings that people who were in love
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			had the same part of the brain
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			activated,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			which would be activated
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			when people are addicted to cocaine.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			And the same releases are made like the same secretions
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:00
			are made. You know, dopamine and oxytocin and these hormones are secreted from the brain when
someone is in love. So that person is an addict. If you have now someone who's a 16, or 17 year old,
who's in love, I'm sorry, but we cannot trust your judgment as a rational one.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:15
			That's why we need the Willie in place to help and harnessed your addiction. The wealthy can
sometimes decide that you are too irresponsible for this commitment. But the wealthy must also
realize that if this powerful addiction
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			is left untethered and unharnessed,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			they can, it can go out of control.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			If you look in the sociological environment,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			at people who are addicted to cocaine,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			or heroin, or these very heavy drugs,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:41
			it's a difficult rehabilitation process, to say the least, incredibly difficult. It's not like
marijuana,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			which I'm hearing in this country is going to become legal soon.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			Why is money
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			I want to do
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:06
			you see, it's not like that it's much more difficult if you're addicted to cocaine or heroin, it's
much more difficult to disconnect from that. And according to the research of Helen Fisher, and when
you're in love,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			it's that same part of the brain
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			which deals with addiction.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			The robots called the reptilian core.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			The reptilian core of the brain is like a central part of the brain,
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			which
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			which is activated when you're in love.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			So hey,
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			we must have a strategy in place.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			A strong strategy in place to deal with this.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:50
			I would say the first thing people need to know is rationality is important before you get married
for the young people.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			You need to have your rational faculties in place.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			And you need to be careful with this emotion of love because you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			If you're struck with love, your love struck, you have become unable to
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:19
			make decisions, rationally, your emotion will invariably take over your thought process and your
cognitive faculties, you will no longer be
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			able to make a informed decision.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:34
			And actually spiritually islamically it can lead to a kind of shift actually an association with
Allah subhanaw taala In my opinion,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:56
			a lot smarter assessment and estimated mean to rely on data in your head bounnam cabela Valentina
Ave a shadow Bonilla, that there are certain people that take a side God and dead. And that is like
an it is, is a false god, that they love, love them, like they should love Allah.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:22
			But those who believe are more strong in believing in Allah than those individuals. What does this
mean? One of the conditions of a betta is that you should have ultimate love to Allah subhanho wa
Taala should have ultimate obedience, ultimate fear, and ultimate love to Allah subhanho wa Taala
that you should not love anyone more than you love Allah, and then his messenger after that.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			But some people because it's
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			the environment is so open now.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:40
			They get into these, I will call them addictive relationships. And this emotion, the emotion of love
becomes a feature of that relationship.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			And then they start doing exactly what their partner tells them to do,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:21
			even if it's completely against Islam. And that's how sinner happens. By the way. It's one of the
main ways, Zina fornication and sexual * outside of marriage happens. Especially this is
how, and there is some statistics to back this. This is how many women agree to that. They agree to
the to it not in a vacuum, a woman is not going to be told, I mean, they've done many research on
this. A man is different to a woman, by the way, Danny physiologically. So if a woman goes to a man,
if a woman, very good looking woman goes to 10 men or 100 men, and she says, Would you like to have
Sorry? Well, there's lots of kids here.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			But you know, we have to say this.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:34
			Just to get the point across Would you like to have * tonight? And this has been done.
There have been studies that you know, social experiments and actual studies.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:47
			And the man could say like, you know, 70 to 80% of recipients, because all candidates could say yes.
Go ahead. No problem. Just like that. But a woman is not that easy.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:13:08
			is a woman is statistically Annie is she's not that easy. She's She's not going to do that. Even if
she's a bigger biggest atheist. She does not believe in God don't think that it is because she
isn't. This is a misconception. Some people that come from the west, I've seen it suffer a lot. I've
seen some people that come from the knowledge region. Yeah. And then they come to London, and they
think all women are prostitutes. And
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			you know, they think every woman is a prostitute.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:23
			It's not like that, the woman is not going to agree to give herself a body, you know, in a vacuum
like that. So usually happens in the context of love. So a woman
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:40
			shall start to develop a kind of attachment to a man and then in that context, since now she's
attached, he can tell her what to do. Whether a man is telling a woman what to do and a will or a
woman is telling a man what to do in a relationship which is either premarital extramarital, or
marital.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:56
			And that thing is against the Sharia of Allah subhanaw taala that know that you aren't in it,
because you could be going into that shit category where you're now taking the love of the other
person as higher and beyond the love of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			and that's what you have to think about.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:07
			Because why are you obeying someone based on the love you have for them, and disobeying the creator
as a result of this?
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:19
			Like the Hadith says letarte mclucas, Mr. Seattle Holic, there is no obedience in the creator to the
creation in the disobedience of the Creator.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:29
			But people fall into that obedience because they have this emotion taken over them. We need to have
seminars and we need to have awareness, we need to raise awareness
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			on this very powerful addiction of these powerful addictions.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			The addiction of love
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:48
			because this addiction could lead people to more corrosive and problematic and corruptive elements,
or directions and channels than sometimes
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			it does addictions to drugs can lead them to
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			it can lead them to those that directions. So we need to be very, very careful with these things.
Because a lot a lot
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			Love to exist in a marital relationship.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			So it's not a bad thing.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:20
			But people need to know how to deal with that emotion, just like they need to know how to deal with
their sexual desires. But we have to be realistic. And this is what I'm trying to say to you.
Because we are human beings that are prone to those things
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			are prone to love are prone to desire
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			and relationship.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			Therefore, it must be balanced. And that's why Subhanallah the institution of marriage
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:40
			is the harness that harnesses all of these emotions, you know, Freud, Sigmund Freud,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			you know, the psychologist of the 1900s, early 1900s.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:56
			He struck a really interesting parable, which was very similar to a hadith I read as well. He said
that you have to control your emotion as if you are riding a horse.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:01
			And he, you are the horse rider and the horse represents your desires.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:09
			And he says that, and he called it the ego and the super ego, and he had this whole theory of it.
But the idea is you have to be in control
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:16
			of the direction you're going in, your uncle has to control your health.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:29
			your intellect has to control your desires. And interesting because the word achill itself comes
from Carl, who comes from this word, which means to tie a horse up, interestingly, you know,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:39
			to tie a horse up from the head and to control the horse going left and right. This is what the
article is. The article is when you use your emotions.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:47
			When you use your actual, your intellect to control your emotions, which is why Subhanallah you know
the Hadith
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:58
			of the Prophet Mohammed sideloaded. He is mentioned as a Muslim, where and this is a very popular
Hadith that is, I think misused a lot of the time. But it's interesting here,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			where the Prophet says about women that that
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			nakazato occludin.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:21
			Wait a minute, a lot of people say is a sexist Hadith. What's going on here? You know, a lot of
atheists and Is this a sexist Hadith, but it's a very powerful Hadith. And people are not looking
into it properly. Because it doesn't say that it doesn't say that nakazato alamuddin.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:31
			If you thought about this, the HUD It doesn't say that they are not consulted Alma Dean was talking
about women, the prophet said that they have a deficiency and arkell.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			And Dean.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			Now what does this hadith mean?
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			Why didn't he use the word island?
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:50
			Because alcohol is the ability to use your intelligence, or your rational faculties to control your
beastial desires.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			And what the Prophet is saying is comparative to men.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:02
			Women can sometimes have a lesser ability to use their rational faculties in order to direct their
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:12
			whatever is the direction of travel. It's not saying that they're less intelligent in the in the
sense in the sense that they have less knowledge. It's not the case.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:18
			He's just saying that women can sometimes act more emotionally than men.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			That's all I say.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			Which is why it makes sense for a woman to have a family and the man does not have a Willie for
marriage.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:48
			It all adds up. And if you think about David stove, he wrote an interesting piece on this. He said
that it's not a controversy. And he wrote he wrote in his book, so there's no controversy and this
guy's an atheist, he's not Muslim. It is not an it's not a controversy at all to say that
rationality is obscured for women in certain cases. Even Simone de Beauvoir,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:03
			the writer of second *, she is a feminist, that one of the heaviest feminists, she says in her
second chapter of her book, biology, she calls the chapters biology, she says there's no
controversy, she says herself, women are more emotional than men.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:21
			No one disagrees with the fact that women are more emotional than men. Which means now there needs
to be special protection. And that's why Allah and the messenger have allowed now for this wealthy
system to, to, to be in place for a woman, especially because exploitation can happen.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			And if you look at Helen Fisher's
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			studies, you'll see that women have a higher
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:35
			propensity to fall in love than men. Because of the maternal instinct, and these things they do.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:43
			They and you know what, this is something which is written about by someone called them warfarin, he
talks about the fact that women
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			are much more. For instance, they love romance, it's not a stereotype. It's not a social construct.
If you look at the sociological environment, you'll see that women are much more into like candy
love novels 90% or 95% of all the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			Love novels are written are read by women.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:17
			They love romantic things. And these things lie It's not. It's not a social construct the data shows
us that women are into these things. So what that shows from that sociological perspective is that
women are
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:26
			possibly can be deceived by some men, especially at a younger age, which is why the willingness to
take an active role,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:44
			especially with women, and this sounds anti feministic. But we don't care because Islam in some
cases is anti feministic. But we have the data and the evidence to show why and how that is the
case. And how feminism sometimes fails. And sometimes it doesn't give us the solutions to the
problems of the world.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			But you see, here's the point I'm making.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:53
			The point is, there are systems in place in Islam, which are very much
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:06
			deliberate, and to the advantage of all the parties that are involved. Do not mess around with these
systems. The Prophet Mohammed Salim, he gave us a very important potent advice.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:12
			So Dr. Marcia Bab, he said, Oh, young people, he says whoever can of you
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			to get married, get married, if you can't, then fast.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:23
			This is what he said is the advice of the Prophet Muhammad Rasul Allah.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:41
			He didn't say just wait and be patient and finish education, get a house and these things know, the
prophet himself, look at how much how many times he got married. So look at this, how about how they
would get married, and what ages they would get married, let's be real about this. Don't get married
at a young age. And they'll get married very frequently.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:22:04
			Very frequently, they wouldn't wait around, to commit Zina. And to put themselves in that situation.
This is not the way of the Prophet and and the, obviously the Sahaba they would, when they found the
opportunity, okay, they will take the opportunity. So we need to make it easier for people to get
married here in this country. And in the West, generally speaking.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:32
			I'm not saying now this means all the young people, you know, demand from your fathers, you know,
and your and your families, that you know, you get married and these things you might not be ready,
you might the father might have a genuine reason why he's stopping a marriage from taking place, he
sees that you're completely overtaken by love and these things and you need to come down, for
instance. But at the same time, there might be a situation where the father needs to look at the
lesser of two evils. Half of the rain is to look at this and this.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:23:06
			And you might you might you have your will is stripped of you sometimes you'd be surprised, because
I wish I could come into the picture. Mmm. And then the two people go to say, look, you know, we
want to get married and the father was stopping it, and then they do it, whether you like it or not,
because that allows it to happen. And we say this person, the relay is stripped because they're
stopping the marriage and this can happen very easily. So it's better for you to continue to
maintain it in your control, Danny, in my opinion, because no one in Islam has as much power to stop
all of these things from happening.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
