There was a young lady who came up
to me and said, you know what I
want to get married to this guy, beautiful
guy. He reads 5 salah a day,
amazing character, everything is beautiful. The only thing
is he smokes cigarettes. I said, no it's
a screen, he probably does weed.
Ask him.
She said, no he doesn't. I trust him.
Okay. Ask him. So she comes back to
me sometime later and says, Guess what? He
does weed.
How did you get that out of him?
Well I told him, Listen.
Swear by Allah
and whatever else she told you. You know
people have their way of extracting the information.
Is it just a cigarette or do you
do weed?
Somehow it came out, Yes weed. He said,
Okay. You lied to me. So weed. But
it's only weed. Look everyone does it. All
these friends of mine, Oh I didn't know
the whole lot of them do it. So
now what are you gonna do? He says,
but I promise you by Allah I'm gonna
quit it.
So then she says, look I really love
this guy. It's a bit too late in
the day. You're not yet married but you've
already invested your emotions in something. Now you're
gonna justify it. I really love this guy
and he's promised me that he's gonna quit
it insha Allah. So I think we should
get this marriage done. I said, it's up
to you. But I personally,
I would say clean for 6 months then
we can talk.
Clean for 6 months then we can talk.
Not that I'm gonna get married to you
and thereafter you're gonna do it. Do it
now. Right now. And then I want to
talk. My beloved boys and girls,
we have to quit these habits because we're
gonna have children who gonna have worse habits.
And they're gonna have children who gonna have
ridiculous habits whom that that we probably wouldn't
imagine
even existed today.
There are things happening today I wouldn't have
imagined when I was a little bit younger
that would happen.
I promise you so absurd that I can't
even talk about it. And there are people
prodding them along to say no it's normal,
it's okay, it's natural, you're free.
Free. Wow.
Free means you're free to enter jahannam, isn't
it?
That's not how it should be. We should
be honest. Listen, this is a bad habit.
That's it. It's a terrible habit. Don't smoke.
Don't this. Don't And my brothers and sisters
perhaps they are from amongst you, those who
might be smoking a cigarette. Don't you know
it's a bad habit? You know it is.
Am I right?
At least one was honest enough to say
yes.
The others are quietly saying, oh no he's
starting to attack us. This is not what
I am here for this evening. Right? No
no no. I'm not attacking anyone. It's it's
love. That's what it is. We know it's
we know that we have bad habits. I
have some bad habits. Try to work on
them, inshallah.
But at the same time if you're not
going to be strong and quit these things
wallahi, it may result in your ultimate downfall.
The sister ended up getting married.
Turns out the brother was on much more
than weed.
And I don't mean tajweed. I'm talking about
talking about something hectic, man. SubhanAllah.
May Allah Almighty forgive us.
And then the heartbreak and then so on.
And then she was expecting already
and then something happened and then the child
in the scan the child had a hole
in the heart. May Allah grant cure to
everyone who is sick and ill in every
way. Anyone going through challenges.
