Sulaiman Moola – Is There Hope For A Drug Addict

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

How to deal with

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

addiction?

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

Is there any hope for an addict? Be

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

it drugs,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

alcohol,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

or even *. Is there hope for an

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

addict? Of course, there's hope. As long as

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

you breathe in, there's hope.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

There's hope for you to repent quickly. Quickly,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

here many scholars say, means that as long

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

as you're living and you change, there is

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

hope. Now when we say to change, you

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

have to

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

make adjustments in your life. So when when

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

a youngster, for example, comes out of the,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

rehab, I say to him, you have to

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

give up all your friend circle. No. I

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

cannot do that. No. Then you don't wanna

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

change.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

Then Then you don't wanna

00:00:43 --> 00:00:43

change.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

If you want to change, then you have

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

to be ready to give up that network.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

You have to get get give up that

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

phone. Because on that phone, there's that context,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

there's those messages, there's that back and forth

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

thing. You have a * addiction, your phone

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

needs to become public property.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

You need to go and do your work

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

in the kitchen. You need to do it

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

in in the room where anyone and everyone

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

has access. You can't have a private code

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

to it. Now if you choose to continue

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

to give safety and amnesty

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

and to to to give shelter and and

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

cover your wrong, then obviously the whispers will

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

will continue and you will continue doing the

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

wrong. So Allah says regarding the, they didn't

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

participate in Tabuk. And they said, oh, we

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

really wanted to. We so desperately wanted to.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

Allah said,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

If they wanted to participate,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

there would have been active planning to participate.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

The scholars say it means

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

if you claim something,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

but you don't take steps towards it, that

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

means your claim is fake.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

So I want to change. I want to

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

give up addiction. Of course, you can give

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

up. We just spoke about it, how how

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

people have done it in their life. But

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

then you need to break away from that

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

friend. You need to give up that device

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

totally. You need to deactivate your access to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

that so that your access to Allah can

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

be opened up, and then you would see

00:02:08 --> 00:02:08

that happening.
