We Have To Quit These Habits

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
