00:00:00.000 Has your porn and sex addiction affected your studies, work, marriage, and family relationship?
00:00:05.000 Are you stuck with feelings of guilt, shame, remorse, and despair?
00:00:08.400 Or has your addiction progressed from pornography to zina?
00:00:11.340 Well, we're here to tell you you're not alone.
00:00:13.520 Itazkiyah is the place where Muslim males and females struggling with pornography addictions can find recovery and freedom.
00:00:23.500 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:00:25.080 Brothers and sisters and dear friends, hope you guys are well inshaAllah.
00:00:26.800 Before I start, I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the most just, all praises, glory, and gratitude belong to him.
00:00:31.060 This very video that we're going to be watching, brothers and sisters, we're going to get some one key point which is so important for all of us.
00:00:38.380 And it shows us the consequences of what happens when one of us slip up.
00:00:43.620 Let's watch the video and see what exactly happened.
00:00:45.600 This is a video of an Australian police officer, a very nice police officer, a gentleman who stops over a hijabi and breathalyses her. 0.53
00:00:52.880 This is what she had to say. Let's see for ourselves.
00:00:54.920 Where are you going?
00:00:56.060 Hey.
00:00:56.800 Don't worry, officer, we're Muslim. It's haram to drink.
00:00:59.920 One more breath in, please.
00:01:02.920 Stop there.
00:01:05.520 And I know that's what they say.
00:01:07.340 Can you believe some of my biggest readings I've ever had of people that have come out of Saudi Arabia and places like that that are over here as international students?
00:01:14.680 Really?
00:01:15.120 They have a few and they think, wow, this is just fantastic, this stuff.
00:01:18.000 Very, very important lesson.
00:01:19.580 Now, the sister is obviously a bit surprised.
00:01:21.460 You know, this is the sister. She's not the one that was, she wasn't drinking.
00:01:24.520 She's surprised because she's like, come on, officer, you know, I'm a Muslim.
00:01:27.620 The officer said something so profound.
00:01:29.200 That might be true. We can't generalize everyone.
00:01:32.720 But if he has come across someone who wore the hijab or the niqab or whatever it may be and was drinking, he cannot dismiss that now. 0.67
00:01:41.820 He cannot come and say she's a hijabi or he wears a cross or he's a Jew or whatever it may be.
00:01:46.000 One instance, one instance of seeing a Jewish person do something wrong or a Christian person or a Hindu or a Sikh or a Muslim, whoever it may be.
00:01:56.400 Automatically, what it does is it tells the individual that there's a possibility that they may also be doing it.
00:02:03.840 So now he will look at every hijabi who's driving with a question mark of they might be drunk. 0.84
00:02:11.940 Do you see, guys, how one slip up can have a ripple effect?
00:02:16.460 That is the reason why we need to understand the responsibility.
00:02:19.980 Nobody's asking anyone to be perfect when you wear the hijab.
00:02:22.400 This goes for brothers as well with beard and a fobe or a toppy, whatever it may be.
00:02:26.280 But you see that when we rest up in an Islamic attire, we carry a big responsibility.
00:02:30.840 If I am being robbed, if I see a police officer, I'm going to run.
00:02:34.780 If I see someone dressed as a police officer, I'm going to run to them because that's what their religion symbolizes.
00:02:38.420 I expect them to protect me.
00:02:40.320 He's not going to turn around to me and say, oh, just because I'm dressed up as a police officer, it doesn't mean I'm a police officer.
00:02:46.260 There is certain expectations people are entitled to believe.
00:02:50.100 But that is the reason why, for example, with the hijab and the niqab, it's lost its absolute respect. 0.99
00:02:54.600 So much so that sisters who wear the hijab or the niqab walking down the street get cackled. 0.96
00:02:59.160 Why?
00:02:59.840 Because these men have come across girls who indulge in certain things and they have realized and said, you know what?
00:03:06.140 The symbol has lost its respect, sadly.
00:03:09.040 Now, this doesn't mean we still do not wear the hijab or grow the beard or whatever it may be.
00:03:12.220 But what that means is we need to put extra effort in.
00:03:14.180 And what that shows us and all of us should learn is that one mistake that you make comes at the cost of all of us being labeled.
00:03:20.840 Just as people who come and commit atrocities under the name of Islam, we are the ones that end up suffering.
00:03:27.260 It's sad.
00:03:28.020 It's sad.
00:03:28.640 You know, subhanAllah, that sisters or brothers in hijab or whatever they're wearing are drink driving, which is a danger to people's lives. 1.00
00:03:36.600 You can kill them. 0.95
00:03:38.300 You're drink driving and on top of that, you're wearing a hijab or having a beard or fob, whatever it may be. 1.00
00:03:42.740 SubhanAllah.
00:03:43.320 May Allah subhanAllah forgive us.
00:03:45.160 SubhanAllah for making his religion look bad. 1.00
00:03:47.820 Committing a major sin with the attire that we should be representing.
00:03:53.160 Brothers and sisters, until next time.
00:03:54.840 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
