[SPEAKER_00]: So scrolling through actually does destroy the neuron channels in our brains, did you know that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Lessons our skills, listen our ability to be critical thinkers, listen our ability to learn and And those people who are doing it and sucking our scene, they don't they're not on social media, man They're just doing it for us to be zombies on it So brothers and sisters, let me explain something, how do you get out of it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if I go and tell you, stop social media, you're going to say a little bit of this guy lives on another planet.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to tell you this stop social media.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I use social media.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not before, but now, only because our Sheikhs, and I remember Sheikh Rebn Al-Samirah not Allah, he said, he was one of the earliest who was thought outside the box and he said, you should be competing and making traffic on social media with good Ottawa, with teaching people the right thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't leave it to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I went on.
[SPEAKER_00]: even with that, he's one thing you can do.
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, start taking breaks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very easy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Start taking breaks.
[SPEAKER_00]: But first it'll be hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people who are social media influences they say, we take 30 days break twice a year, 30 days.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what happens to them is they say, hold on a minute, all these followers, all these people who want me to make new content, they're waiting, they're waiting.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't stay one month off, and you know, your brain tells you, but if I don't go back on, I'm gonna lose my followers, I'm gonna lose my, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: 30 days later comes back, doesn't you content same thing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing's happened to them in Shuttle.
[SPEAKER_00]: But what happens to you is that you get refreshed.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing how much you've restricted your ideas, your innovation, your creativity by constantly constantly going on social media and scrolling.
[SPEAKER_00]: Content creator or the one who is taking.
[SPEAKER_00]: Give your brain a break.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should not be on your social media maximum maximum more than two hours a day and I'm not talking about two hours straight and that's for beneficial things and a little bit of entertainment nothing wrong with that highlight entertainment as much as you can be very careful with it though the problem now is people get stuck with certain addictions sexual addictions
[SPEAKER_00]: And those types of addictions, they transform from an image to videos, clips, to then creativity.
[SPEAKER_00]: You get bored of the same thing over and over again, and then you start to, you want something more dramatic, more outrageous, more out of this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are tremendous researchers done on this.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you go after that to things that are sick.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to say what they are, we're in the mess shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I can tell you that families would destroy the part because these people started to watch these sick things.
[SPEAKER_00]: People who are supposed to be maharams, their brain goes everywhere, they become sick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then after that you want the real thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's when people start going to those places, they want the real thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, hold on, they said to me, I can go on Snapchat.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's that guy on there, there's that girl on there, we'll just talk.
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially those introverts, because they can't go face-to-face, they're going online.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying even go to face-to-face, but they're going online.
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk, talk, talk, keep going.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not images are okay for me?
[SPEAKER_00]: So long as it's real.
[SPEAKER_00]: Images, clips, nudity, young teenagers, old, people start going further and further and further and further and further.
[SPEAKER_00]: In my days, back in the 80s, when I was in, in the 90s, when I was in year 7, year 8, in year 9,
[SPEAKER_00]: If there was a Muslim girl in our school, Hejab on O Hejab, she's Muslim.
[SPEAKER_00]: No one dared to touch her or flirt with her.
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll find 10 Muslim guys jumping his person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody would touch him.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were the most valuable.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, a lion must die.
[SPEAKER_00]: What has happened to us?
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's abuse online, sexual abuse, send me a picture.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go more.
[SPEAKER_00]: They share it with their friends, especially boys.
[SPEAKER_00]: I read once this statement, it has some truth to it, they said, let's get things straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Men like to look at women like to be looked at, men like to look at, women like to be looked at.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then from here you can understand how abuse can happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then threats and then deformations, then exposing, then, then, then, then, then, then, then.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is how the shate on comes to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where they come from social media, all on social media.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to talk too much about it, we've got kids here, we're in the mustard, but I think you all understand what I mean.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: When social media has so much good in it, each individual has to monitor themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the best thing is you can't just change your apps, it doesn't work, you can't just disable your apps, it's coming from this, so you've got to keep this far away from you and use it only when you need it.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you relapse and get back to it, then repent to Allah and start putting it away from you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Go to bed and put it outside your ear.
[SPEAKER_00]: Put it in the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I need my alarm.
[SPEAKER_00]: Find another way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask your parents, how did we do it?
[SPEAKER_00]: We suffered.
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have these alarms with us.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll find a way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep your door open in the bedroom if you're a teenager.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let your parents come past.
[SPEAKER_00]: It will help you and shall Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially at night.
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to see students come to school in the morning.
[SPEAKER_00]: The eyes bloodshot rip.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was studying.
[SPEAKER_00]: What were you studying?
[SPEAKER_00]: biologists and anatomy, yeah, what kind.
[SPEAKER_00]: My dear brothers and sisters, I ask Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, to lift the burdens of Allah, Allah, Allah, He this generation, this youth, they are so innovative and creative.
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen so much, so many young people in the mustard, like we see in the last 10 to 20 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen this many young people representing goodness, deen and teaching others and being innovative online and in social media.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are becoming leaders of Hamdoudillah and they can do tremendous things that our parents and my generation could not do, but they pave the way for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have great hope in our young people, but your mental health, your heart, your spiritual health, your e-man, your identity has to be intact if you're going to get some way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Allah, in my heart, goes out to it's not easy to challenge us a huge.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT make it easy on you.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT forgive our sins and yours.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT forgive our shortcomings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I ask Allah SWT to relieve our brothers' sisters in Razza.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look after the orphans, brothers' sisters, whatever you can send to them, send through any trusted honest charity organisation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hamdulillah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been going around with MATW, Muslims around the world, and other organisations have done great jobs, but these are one of them, for example, going around, they've got 12,000 orphans, for example, that they are looking after Hamdulillah and creating more awareness and help.
[SPEAKER_00]: And these young people in share will be the future in share of Lothar and so will you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But on the Sisters do things, continue to do what pleases a lot, and that which develops you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't just sit on this scrolling away and letting your brace brain cells buy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you share a low dialer that this lecture tonight at least played a role in one or two percent of that first step towards that long journey and I ask Allah's Planet dialer to assist you, protect you, raise you, forgive you and all of us.
