			This technology is given to us. Do you know why? To test us? Are you going to get closer to Allah?
Or are you going to be distracted? Distracted? There is something called tick. Tock. Have you heard
of it?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Do you know why they call it tick tock?
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:55
			Let me tell you time. What does time do the second hand that you seen it? It moves and you are just
flicking Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock. Before you know it, your Salah
is gone. Your another Salah is gone. Your day is gone. Your night is gone. The next day is gone.

			I owe the bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim. I am here in the house of Allah to tell you, it's okay
to use technology. For as long as you know you need to be in control. Look at good things. There are
so many really beneficial things on tick tock so much you can learn a lot from Instagram, from
Facebook from all of you can learn so much. But make sure you learn and make sure you don't abuse
and make sure the time that you are on it is governed and controlled in a way that you don't miss
your Salah and you don't ignore your mother and father and you don't ignore your children and your
brothers and sisters and you don't
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			distance yourself from the Quran, and so on.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:42
			Use technology it's very good, it's important, but control, be disciplined. And make sure you know
how to use it. Because you will see a video of some Imam saying something that does not make sense.
And you think let me believe it all. Maybe this Imam is not a good Imam. Look, he's changing Islam.
Yet that video can be made by someone who does not like him. And it can be fake. And it can be
artificial intelligence. And it can be a voice that is created that is similar to the voice of the
person you know, so you need to know how to use technology. If you don't know how to use it, do not
use it because it will cheat you and deceive you
