Transcript

00:00:00.000 Has your porn and sex addiction affected your studies, work, marriage and family relationship?
00:00:04.940 Are you stuck with feelings of guilt, shame, remorse and despair?
00:00:08.340 Or has your addiction progressed from pornography to zina?
00:00:11.320 Well, we're here to tell you you're not alone.
00:00:13.380 Itazkiyah is the place where Muslim males and females struggling with pornography addictions can find recovery and freedom.
00:00:23.040 You see guys, sometimes in life, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us not to do certain things.
00:00:27.900 But we don't listen. We don't listen, we do them, we suffer, we get hurt.
00:00:33.600 And, well, that might be it. Some people will go down the route of repenting and changing their ways.
00:00:38.400 Like, Adam, he made a mistake and he said, well, it was my fault.
00:00:41.560 But sometimes, certain people, and I'm not saying this brother, but sadly, certain people moving away, they act like Iblis.
00:00:47.440 They start blaming Allah. And that's what Iblis said, because you misguided me.
00:00:51.160 Now, in this video, this brother is talking about something that he may have gone through and he's saying that he lost his trust in Allah.
00:00:56.540 So, let's watch it and we're going to take some advice from that.
00:01:04.660 Now, the thing that I want to mention is the following.
00:01:06.660 So, he said something along the lines of, I've got my blee, something, something, 23.
00:01:11.300 I lost a lot of mandem on the street.
00:01:14.160 I lost my trust in Allah so I don't pray to the east.
00:01:16.120 Something along those lines.
00:01:16.900 Okay, yeah.
00:01:18.340 And the question that I need to ask is very simple.
00:01:20.300 Yeah.
00:01:20.700 You lost a lot of friends to the streets.
00:01:25.460 Now, in what way?
00:01:26.960 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:01:27.860 Now, if they are in the road life, selling drowsows, I'm not saying they did or they didn't.
00:01:31.540 My point is this.
00:01:32.540 If they are involved in gang life, what do you expect?
00:01:35.800 What do you expect for them to happen?
00:01:37.380 It's like me jumping in water and getting upset because I'm wet.
00:01:41.640 Now, I'm sorry that you lost friends.
00:01:42.940 I'm not here to have a go at you or them.
00:01:45.300 But the point is the following.
00:01:47.020 How will you lose and trust in Allah and not pray to the east?
00:01:49.860 Yeah.
00:01:50.120 And by the way, Allah says taqwa is not praying to the east or the west.
00:01:52.620 It doesn't matter.
00:01:53.020 It's internal.
00:01:53.480 It's not where you dress up or which way you shape.
00:01:56.080 And you're taking that out on Allah by distancing yourself from him.
00:01:59.740 When who is at fault here?
00:02:01.820 We are at fault.
00:02:03.040 If I'm in a gang, back in the days I was involved in gangs and stuff like that.
00:02:06.500 When people that I knew died or people I knew got into an injury or whatever it may be.
00:02:10.600 How can I blame Allah when I'm in that field of destruction?
00:02:16.220 So the point that I wanted to make in this video and I'm not sure and I don't want to
00:02:18.320 long you out too much is you've got two choices.
00:02:20.720 You either act like Adam or Iblis.
00:02:22.720 Adam made a mistake.
00:02:23.840 He repented.
00:02:24.440 He didn't blame Allah.
00:02:25.080 He blamed himself.
00:02:26.240 Or you move like Iblis and say, no, it's your fault.
00:02:29.600 So the fact that you're losing trust in Allah is a statement of kufr.
00:02:32.900 Yeah.
00:02:33.260 Because we should always have tawakkun Allah SWT.
00:02:35.280 So my advice to you brother and anyone out there is that if there's certain things that
00:02:39.740 you've done in your life, blame yourself.
00:02:42.280 Allah will never send you something to cause you calamity.
00:02:45.440 And some things that may be a calamity, it is better for you.
00:02:48.460 So learn a mistake from your friends dying.
00:02:50.220 Avoid the street life.
00:02:51.020 I'm not saying you're in it or not.
00:02:52.380 But in general, those who are watching or whatever you're doing, take a lesson from this
00:02:56.640 and change your ways.
00:02:58.460 And you should have more trust in Allah because Allah has told you from the get-go to not do
00:03:02.520 these certain things that may be haram.
00:03:04.260 That's my advice and I hope you guys benefit inshaAllah.
00:03:07.280 I thought I'll do that.
00:03:08.080 And send this video to him.
00:03:08.980 I've got no hard feelings if the brother's watching.
00:03:10.340 I'm not going to go at you.
00:03:11.660 Genuinely, I'm just trying to give you sincere Naseer because Allah says,
00:03:14.920 Indeed, a Naseer benefits a believer.
00:03:16.880 Till next time guys.
00:03:17.840 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
