1 00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:03,776 The questioner asks this: What is your advice? 2 00:00:03,860 --> 00:00:07,710 For one tested with watching pornographic images and films? 3 00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:14,636 O Allah, my Lord, Ever-Living. O Sustainer, Maker of heavens and earth. 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,070 O Allah, heal his heart, Lord of the worlds. 5 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,990 O Allah, keep him from this trial. Lord of the worlds. 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,600 My advice to myself and my brothers is that the eye is a blessing from Allah. 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,380 It is one of Allah's greatest blessings on us, renewed every second. 8 00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,820 So we should use it in obedience to Allah. 9 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,710 And not use it in disobedience to Allah. 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,156 And we should know: whoever uses Allah's blessings to disobey Him. 11 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,640 Will soon lose it as a blessing, even if it remains. 12 00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:58,685 The second matter is to remind ourselves. 13 00:00:58,769 --> 00:01:00,980 That we will be questioned about this eye. 14 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,920 Before Allah ﷻ. 15 00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:08,900 When you sit in your room, there is no one there. 16 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,400 No one is there. And you are looking. 17 00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:14,856 Remember that you will stand before Allah. 18 00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:18,480 And He will ask you about this eye and about what you saw. 19 00:01:19,940 --> 00:01:24,796 "Each of you will be spoken to by his Lord, with no interpreter. 20 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480 He'll look right. He'll see only what he sent ahead. 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,390 He'll look left. He'll see only what he sent ahead. 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,240 "And he will look before him and see only the Fire." Remember this. 23 00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:43,140 And the third matter is to remember that Allah is with him. 24 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,540 Allah sees him and hears him. And knows him. Allah is with him. 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,420 With His hearing and His sight and His knowledge. 26 00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:04,320 So when you are alone and looking at these films and obscenities. 27 00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:07,540 Remember that Allah sees you now. 28 00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:14,680 And Allah knows your condition so do not say, "I am alone." 29 00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:17,660 Rather, remind yourself that Allah sees you. 30 00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:23,900 It is mentioned that one of the Salaf favored one student over the rest. 31 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,500 So the students asked him and he wanted to show why he chose him. 32 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,940 Then he gave each one a bird and said, "Slaughter it where no one sees you." 33 00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:44,340 The students went off and returned next day; all but him had killed theirs. 34 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:50,776 He said, "So-and-so, what did you do?" "I went here, and here, and here." 35 00:02:50,860 --> 00:02:52,769 And you, so-and-so, why didn't you obey? 36 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,916 He said: Whenever I went somewhere I knew that Allah was watching me. 37 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 So I found no place where no one could see me. 38 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,636 So he said, "That is why I love him." 39 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Before Allah, the noblest of you is the most pious. 40 00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:15,956 So we should remember this: Allah ﷻ sees us. 41 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Then, my brother, time moves on and passes, in obedience or sin. 42 00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,980 By Allah, time has not stopped for one who obeys or who sins. 43 00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:32,180 Remind yourself: if you endure these minutes, they'll pass sinless. 44 00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:40,900 And if you commit this sin, it passes in sin, corrupting your heart. 45 00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:45,900 It will constrict your life and cause you misery. 46 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,680 You may be denied blessings because of this. 47 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,560 So remind yourself of this, then remember. 48 00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,020 The eye will testify against you. 49 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,020 The eye will testify against you for what it saw. 50 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Before Allah ﷻ. 51 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,900 So fear Allah ﷻ and revere Allah's majesty. 52 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,180 If you do this, by Allah's power and strength, you'll defeat Iblis. 53 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,416 Also, supplicate often. 54 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:26,436 O brothers, anyone afflicted by a sin should come before Allah ﷻ late at night. 55 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,780 My Lord, have mercy on me. My Lord, You know my state best. 56 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:35,506 My Lord, I have been afflicted by this disease.
