Assalamu'alaikum, Don't believe everything you see or hear, Subhanallah, especially online, you see
things and you know, you think this is real, you hear something you think, Wow, this report is
sounding so real, it is real. You start forwarding it and you spread ignorance and you don't know
what exactly is the truth. So don't believe everything you hear or see. Do you know that people can
doctor your voice and mine? Make you say things you've never said? Do you know that people can
doctor videos, they're called Deep fakes. And people can do it just with an app and make you say
things on a video that you've never said, Make you visit places and be with people that you've never
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:24
			visited or seen or even interacted with at all. So don't believe everything that you see or hear.
The Prophet Mohammed Salllahu 'alaihi wa sallam tells us that close to the time, close to the hour, people will
believe falsehood and disbelieve the truth. When something is real truth glaring at you, they will
say it's a lie. And when something is fake, and it's comes for you, you will, they will say it is the
truth. Now, I used to think about how that would happen? But now, it's come so close to my
understanding, we're definitely towards the end of time when we see clearly that people come up with
videos that look so real, but they're actually fake. They're a fraud, they look more real than those
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:39
			that are a fake. When I was younger, I used to tell myself, when when people make movies, they make
them seem so real, yet they are fake. Imagine if they are to make that which is fake completely. And
we believe it is though it's real.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:02:26
			Can they not fake other things as well, in such a professional way? Well, now it's become much
easier because it's just an application on your phone. So don't believe we used to say seeing is
believing seeing is no longer believing. Unless you've seen it physically, not with a video and not
with not through technological means. It depends let the professionals process it and tell you yes,
indeed, this is legit. I've come across people who've made videos of mine and audios of mine that
never existed. It never happened. And not only me. I've seen it with a few others as well, where
they've made things in fact, you can just google it deep fake videos. And you will see they've made
		
00:02:26 --> 00:03:14
			people be in places they will never and say things they didn't ever say they make it look so real.
But this is just a reminder to say the Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam already pre warned us of this particular
problem. And he says a time will come when people will believe the false more than they would ever
believe the truth, in front of their eyes. So May Allah protect us all. And may we be from among
those who can take heed. You know, with this Corona issue that we have right now with the global
village that we're living in right now. There is so much of ignorance that is being spread and good
people are falling prey to a lot of the false information, believing it to be true and falling into
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:19
			this trap. May Allah protect us all. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
