merciful all praise is due to Allah we bear witness that no one is worthy of worship but Allah and we bear witness that muhammad salallahu alaihe wasalam is indeed his final messenger the best of speech is the book of allah and the best of guidance is the guidance of muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam may Allah subhana Allah make us of those who listen to the best of speech and follow the best of guidance the Book of Allah and the way of our beloved prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam ya rasool allah his Halawa to rob us LM Holly J also javi uni Linda be sallallahu alayhi wasallam war oh I love epistle mecanim in movies Anika young a companion once came to the Prophet peace be upon him to tell him about what has happened during his day said o Messenger of Allah I was walking in the market said o Messenger of Allah and there passed by me a beautiful woman said I kept walking a child to on the Rue alaihe and I was looking at her she's walking by I'm looking at her as I am walking because I didn't see what was in front of me because I was too busy liquid looking at the woman it said o Messenger of Allah the minute I turned there was a pole and I ran into the pole and my nose bled as a result of this and I was so ashamed of what just happened I decided that I am NOT cleaning myself I am just going to take this and take it to the Prophet peace be upon him he came to the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam told him with the story of what happened the process Salim did not say much but Allah spoke at that point and it was revealed to the Prophet peace be upon him at that point wilmemina yellow booming of sorry him why a follow for John said inform the believing men to lower their gazes and protect their private parts or protect their chastity and then the following verse says and tell the believing women to lower their gaze and protect their chastity and Allah informs us that very ksk know that this is much purer for them as you know my brothers and sisters Islam came with all these rituals but it came generally speaking with five principles in order that we implement them five principles you know recognized the oneness of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala appreciate the prophethood of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam make sure that we are involved in social service social justice for the people who are around us but then one thing that Islam truly emphasizes is that the subjugation of passion that we be in charge of our own desires not having our desires run our efface and that is why Allah subhana Allah makes this a condition if you want to go to paradise and man-whore Famicom or be a Tallulah when I had enough sand in our her indulgent nether Hill Mahal it says for those who truly stand the meeting before their Lord because one day's of how long we will we will go through that those who are aware and those who are concerned about the day that when they meet their Lord when I had enough shining how they subjugated their passion they directed themselves not being directed by their own desires for energy at the hill my work give them the good news welfare and a liver I asked about had an engine that will not work that truly their final aboard is going to be paradise male Ossipon Telemachus of the people of paradise but see this is not something that we just wish rather that this is something that we have to work for be concerned about the day that we meet our Creator and remember that our own nests are our own selves they have lowly desires the desires themselves are not the problem but what happens is in what channels do you put the desires it's not one part of the desires have them but the Quran says make sure that you put them in the proper channel so that you are engaged in self discipline and self-control and that is a mark of a believer that a believer is in charge of your own self to begin with so today my brothers and sisters I'm going to talk about an industry that has been making so much money of the fact that we are led by our desires and temptations and not the other way around it is precisely what Allah speaks about when it said only me Mina your home booming up sorry him tell the believing men they believing women to lower their gaze and protect their chastity we'll be talking about pornography this images that are used marketed to us to arouse people and people are hooked into it and they are addicted to it an industry that has been corrupting families young people leading into divorce and some of the most terrible acts of addictions pornography serious my brothers and sisters the average just gonna throw some numbers at you dazzling numbers there are four hundred and twenty million pages on the web dedicated to pornography there are 4.2 million websites dedicated to nothing but pornography at every given second listen to this at every given second there are 29,000 people on the net looking for pornography and every given second not they not minute at every given second 29,000 people looking for pornography that translates into 68 million searches a day only for pornography the saddest of all a hundred and sixty thousand of them are people looking for child pornography every 39 minutes there is a website that comes on dedicated only to pornography in the USA and people spend over a billion dollars a month just for pornography worldwide average is over a hundred million dollars a day this is how much money people invest or waste on pornography we live in the place that makes most pornographic movies in the world San Gabriel Valley fifteen thousand movies a year because there are consumers on constant people are finding these consumers and these customers and what happens about pornography nowadays is that it's only a click away you are in your own room private office nobody's looking it's your laptop maybe you're in the coffee shop or wherever you may be it is just a click away if you have an email the junk when you go there you will have access to it if you don't look for it it will look for you the average age of a child beginning being bombarded with these pornographic images is eight this is one they are first exposed to it and remember my brothers and sisters we don't look at these problems and say castle problems we don't have a problem like this in our community handle ah we are Muslims that is what we call an illusion that is lying to ourselves this is feeling good but there is really no basis for it because it is serious and it is a serious issue in our own communities we Muslims are guilty of this we are impacted by it our families are impacted by it and unless we address it unless we bring it to the open and say look this is a problem that is taking place we will be in deep trouble my brothers and sisters pornography is responsible for at least 20 percent of divorce that is taking place you may not be consuming it but somebody else maybe as a child who has never been exposed exposed to it or never thought of consuming it because a family member is that's led to divorce now you are impacted by it even though you've never seen it you don't even know what it is so we've got to bring this up we've got to talk about this issue and subhanAllah missile allah allah wa salem one beautiful thing about our beloved messenger is that he spoke about issues that were of concern to the masses in fact well why there was this author a British author she said about him of all the people that spoke about sex the only person that spoke about sex openly and honestly was the Prophet of Islam Muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam we don't shy away from talking about this Allah speaks about it the Prophet peace be upon him SWA about it but what happens is to what end are we speaking about it so that we are enlightened so that we are empowered some of us our parents want to know about this so that I can talk about it to my children some of us are the young ones and you know what every time I click on my computer images like this they bombard me and I just don't know what to do with it and some of us then I know exactly what you're talking about because I suffer from this I am addicted to it so hiding our heads in the sand is no longer an option you see this you speak about it and the prophet salallahu alaihe salam does the most beautiful job in speaking about it you all know that Hadees where the Prophet peace be upon him says all young men whoever is able to get married let them get married you all know that happy sybilla's root that hadees has a story but must earth said that one time we were in the in the masjid medina the mission of the Prophet peace be upon him and he said these were a gathering of all the young single companions young single men and he said and we were talking about that which young men talk about what do young men talk about when they are together single young man what do they talk about talk about women so the Prophet peace upon him walked in and he said then he looked into our eyes and he immediately knew what we were talking about so he smiled and he said Yashiro Shabab - dopamine kuba a definite as I would say the young women I'm giving you advice if you can afford it you better get married so he knew about it it is natural it's part of our development if you live long enough you will go through that stage but now what happens is what do you do with that in what channel do you put it one of the most beautiful stories story collected by imam muslim about this companion named you bear the bear said that one day I was at the outskirts of Medina and I was enjoying the company of women said I was just sitting there chit-chatting with the women said I had no business to be there he says I love their company and I was just chit-chatting with them so when the Prophet peace be upon him passed by and he said murder anima and this one what are you doing with them women and he said oh I said I was so embarrassed I had to make up a lie he said he said I had to lie he said the honest ulama just mannalie havilland leader militia rude in India he said o Messenger of Allah these women are making a rope for me for a camel that just keeps running away from me said I know I was lying the Prophet peace be upon him knew that I was lying and he said it was a pathetic life said he said nothing he smiled and he just went by that the next day I was in Medina and I heard the prophet salallahu alaihe seldom behind me he said i started walking really fast because i wanted to avoid him said the prophet peace be upon him walked really fast and he caught up with me and he came next to me he said k400 Jamel said how's your camel doing said I was too embarrassed and I just looked down so the next day the Prophet peace be upon him was ahead of me and I was behind him he said I started walking really slow just avoiding him said the Prophet peace be upon him looked back and he waited for me and as soon as I came to him he said case a handle German how's your camel doing said I was too embarrassed so the third day I was praying inside the Masjid and I heard the prophet salallahu alaihe salam walked in said i decided to make it the longest salah ever because i don't want to face the Prophet peace fell upon him said he came and he sat next to me and he said now proclaim for in the unpoppable so don't make it too long I am waiting for you that I was done with the Salah Salam aleykum Selam aleykum in the process my dad looked at me and he said hey Fahad with German how's your camera's doing he said the prophet of Allah I have such a good grip on it it's not running away anymore see at that point the man no there was no camel the prophets are seldom new there was no camera it became a symbolic talk it became a talk to address something that this young man is doing and the process Allah is helping him and the man knows but this was not you know avoiding it or just you know pushing it under the rug no man this is about addressing the issue this is a real issue it's breaking families down and unless we talk about it it's going to be a bigger problem so what is it that is wrong with it subhanAllah please pay attention to this the biggest thing about porn is that it kills the natural stimulants and the person who is consuming it let me explain see subhanAllah with us when we are exposed to anything once it's exciting twice it's exciting three times it's almost exciting four times then we become desensitized so now what happens is that we need to you know get some more what was exciting as a mission is not doing it but we want that excitement so what you do is that you push more and more and more and that is precisely why there is so much porn out there because eventually when people are decent aside to it you just keep givin them more so that you create that excitement you keep that excitement coming again and again and again so what happens now the natural stimulants that are within us are now dead the saddest is when you see a sister coming with her husband saying share um you know next to my husband I don't feel like I'm a woman there is nothing that I can do to excite my husband my husband is only excited when he watched pour it is just destroying my family what do you do to that and if he keeps consuming this then that is just as good as having an affair I see this happening every day in my family and there is nothing that I can do about it and here comes the brother and he's just really embarrassed says yes it is a problem I just don't know what to do so it all begins by what Allah should hang what Allah has taught us if you're a believer remember the whole idea behind the deal is that you subjugate your passion that we are in the process of self-discipline self-control yes I know it's exciting but I love a lot more yes I know there is temptation there but this is all about self-control and self-discipline what is the whole idea about fasting and all that it's all about standing up for our temptation it all begins with this if we cannot defeat the enemy with him there is really nothing that we can do about the enemy outside so we must do that my brothers and sisters applying these pour anak principles lower your gaze yes it is exciting lower your gaze the beautiful thing about our Deen is it's very practical it is very pragmatic you cannot guard your chastity unless you lower your gaze so you better lower your gaze be it in the form of porn on the net porn on TV or just outside you better lower your gays because if you do not lower your gaze then you are exposing yourself to the next level and that is in ability of the Loulou German protecting our chastity so that does not work the second thing is that these are young people we're talking about children as young as 11 and 12 one wahi I have seen Muslim kids who are addicted to pornography and I'm not making what why I'm not making any of this up these are people that I have seen I talked to young kid he can barely express himself well said chef I watched this every day I can't go to sleep without watching it you're only 12 so what happens now is that before these kids are fully developed they are being bombarded with all these sexual images and they've just not matured enough to know how to contend with it so as a result it is really messing up their minds there was a hearing in the Congress and listen to this a hearing in the Congress and a spokeswoman for this you know against porn industry she's speaking to the Congress people there she said the following she said that addiction to porn is far more serious than addiction to crack and cocaine then she explained she said you can absolutely clean your body from crack and cocaine you can get D toxicated your body is now clean it's been cleansed there is no longer any traces of coke or cocaine in your body but she said with pornographic images they are so ingrained in the mind that getting rid of them is almost impossible and as a result now we become captives and prisoners to this images that have been there for so long that we've been bombarded with it for so long and I know that this is not a very comfortable topic well nah I tell you this well lucky I feel it this is not a very comfortable topic and I know that we could have picked a much safer topic to address but that is not the point muhammad sallallahu alaihi salam did not shy away from talking about these issues he would address these issues and he would talk about them and he would talk about them so beautifully and openly and honestly like that British author said listen to this the prophet salallahu alaihe salam says lie upon hadouken Kalba he said that one of you should not be like a beast Jagoda boy soulja to hope in the heart whenever a valet when he beats his wife during the day and then expects to sleep with her at night so only an animal does this but then again the point is muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam would not shy away from addressing these issues so the point is we want to bring about that awareness you have a young style you have a son you have a daughter say you have an email don't you you have a Facebook account don't you you know son you know my daughter every time you go on the net sometimes just strange stuff pops up stuff like that comes up son daughter you know indecent pictures they come up I'm just wondering son what do you do when that happens or that I click on it and I just close it immediately masha'Allah sir talk about it you've got to address this pretending like they don't go through it does not solve the problem you've got to address stuff like that have to talk about it as uncomfortable as it is brothers if we do not do the education if we don't do the educating of our children somebody else will be doing that if we don't empower them as to how to fight and resist all that temptation somebody else is doing that talking about 29,000 people a second are on it looking for that porn so our job as parents our job as young people is I know this to be a problem I may have that problem I will ask the help of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and eventually I want to sure that I did myself of this something else that porn does Han LA was porn people who are engaged in it you know people talk about poor self-esteem you want to know about poor self-esteem ask a person who's addicted to porn I'm just ashamed of myself I can't even see myself I can't even look myself in the mirror what happens please pay attention if our principles are updatable principles and values are up there and our actions our behaviors are down here the higher the gap between what we believe what we think and what we do the higher the gap the more misery we bring into our lives what it is now that I become very ashamed of what I have done and I become guilty about what I have how I have behaved and I become very ashamed of myself and as a result people become depressed more ashamed more depressed more ashamed more depressed and it just gets to be a vicious cycle so not only now it's impacting our families killing our natural stimulants but now it's just the way that we see ourselves it is just too embarrassing I can't even look myself in the mirror and as a result we want to avoid all of that but it must begin with awareness what is happening there is serious stuff and unless we take a stand empower one another then we are going to be in deep trouble may Allah subhana Allah save us from The Sharper al-amin Apollo kolyada Mustapha Lahari welcome first of all we know al-hamdu lillahi wa kafa well salat wa salam ala rasulina mustafa while am envious Arioch Dafa Yehuda Nabil sallallahu alayhi wasallam and navato sermon miss moon Missy hey my beliefs said that a glance is like a poisoned arrow of the arrows of the shape on because once you're guilty of it it does something to you it has the impact of poison and if you keep consuming that poison it will eventually kill you the way that it kills you two ways it kills your conscience please see if you can follow this with me they say that with all addictions we go through four stages we think about it spend time and thinking fantasize plan do it feel guilty and then time comes by then you start thinking again fantasize plan it execute it and then feel guilty time passes by think about it fantasize plan it do it feel guilty and you know what happens eventually you think about it you plan it you do it but then you don't feel guilty you don't feel guilty because you've done it so much so many times so number one it kills our conscience that that that poison that the Prophet peace be upon him spoke about that it is of the arrows the poisoned arrows of shape on that number one that poison is just keep consuming it it kills you and the first way that it kills you that it kills your conscience secondly it kills you spiritually people say you know Jeff I don't like coming to the message anymore why bother yeah I'm just involved in this and every time I just watch it I feel so bad and I just feel like a hypocrite I don't even want to come to the Masjid so what do you do I stopped coming to the Masjid why how can they come to the Masjid and I know what I did last night but now I am at the Masjid so now the person says what good is Federer I know what I did last night comes Lord I'm was good as Lord I didn't even break my budget and subhanAllah it snowballs it snowballs he had their food in Nabil Saleh Ali was seldom and my honestly buried recover so that eventually the collections and the accumulation of sins will deliver us into disbelief so that's not what we want but rather what we want is what llahi there is hope please get the help and hamdulillah you know i keep telling you about our department that access California Family Resource Center we don't have a mental health department there where we help people with their addiction if that happens to be an issue that you have please come to us very confidential non-judgmental it's a very relaxed atmosphere and insha'Allah we will do our best and extending all the help to our family but please begin by recognizing that this is wrong and it is actually a disease that is eating up at my spirituality my conscience and it is eating up into my family as well may Allah subhana Allah save us all Europe al al-amin it will not be appropriate that we finish this hope but today without commending and congratulating and applauding the people of Tunisia and the people of Egypt because what they have done is that they have reinstated hope we congratulate them and we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to guide them Europe a Halloween to do that which is best for their people and we keep in our prayers the people of Libya and the people of Yemen and the people of Algeria and wherever people are oppressed we keep them in our prayers but see somebody says wait a minute how are you jumping from talking about pornography to the tative ship Subhan Allah Allah Santa Ana laid the ground for mohammad sallallahu alaihi salam ya ayyuhal mu death-sphere on frontier war Ibaka evidene or feedback of a buyer what routes the fragile share in order to truly glorify your Lord Rebecca to glorify your Lord he said one thing that you have to do is that you've got to purify yourself and then what what would is a fragile you've got to shun evil but see evil is not only dictatorship evil is pornography evil is alcoholism evil is gambling that is all evil being a womanizer a playboy or Playgirl that is all evil and Islam says what rich is fi Hydra we can not stand up to these people subhanAllah Malcolm X said it so beautifully no people are talking about stand up stand up stand up for yourself and stand up for this he said to the priest said look man you can't stand up if you're too high if you're high you cannot really do any standing up so where does it begin it said before we stand up said we must wake up clean up and then we can stand up wake up please be aware and then clean up Abu Dis Evangel shun the evil and once we do this we can stand up to dictators to anything else but before that we've got to make sure that we are spiritually as a strong so please keep this in mind and like I said wallah this was nothing but to share with my brothers and sisters what we see the issues that are there in our families if you don't have that problem and hamdulillah please keep empowering yourself and keep empowering your family may Allah protect our family shareable al-amin if you happen to have children please make sure that you talk to them about it if you yourself are suffering from it please make sure that you get the help may Allah and Allah protect us all Europe al al-amin may Allah subhana Allah purify our gazes help us in lowering our gazes help us in protecting our chastity rabbul aalameen Milazzo grant Allah protect our children may Allah subhana WA Ta'ala protect us
