When will You Lower Your Gaze- Siraj Wahhaj

[AlirazaTRAVEL]

this is a time where women are clothed yet they are naked.

[balancedmuslim]

Short and sweet

[TaylorThaHick]

Muslims seem to have some sort of deep psychological disorder when it comes to sex. As an american, lets say I go the the mall and I see a completely naked woman shopping. I would certainly look at her, and want her, but I would have control over my impulses because she is an adult human being like me. It sounds like a muslim is saying they have no choice but to run over and hump her leg until the police get him. Are muslims saying they are like dogs with no self control? Help me out here.

@TaylorThaHick

Muslims are not saying that they lower their gaze because they will end up sleeping with that woman. We lower our gaze because Allah commanded us to:

24:30 Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do. /Translation of the Qur'an/

[TaylorThaHick]

@spel17 I think you just proved my point with your quote. "Allah is Acquainted with what they do." Meaning that "Allah" understands that men that see scantily clad women will go rape them. Or if you don't like my interpretation, it is even worse that we do something because Allah commands rather than because we think it is moral. The muslim distaste for dogs, for example, has no moral basis. It is just something arbitrarily added by the Quranic writer, but now it is "truth" by accident.

[TheZgodnaKrava]

@TaylorThaHick You know, if I would see a naked man shopping- I wouldnt feel attrackted to him at all, even if he would look like a dolce & gabbana model with an extra extra extra large penis.

So just to give you an answer. No, muslims aren't like dogs with no self control, BUT EVERY MAN seems to be like a dog. So, there's just one solution- we should send you guys to a vet... I will never get it- mystery of man.

[MsRumaan]

When will you lower your gaze...a very guud question......May Allah guide uz to the right path!!!!

[Dermitax]

I give my brothers an advice...

SubhanAllah, when I decided to correct the way I pray and I strived to pray with Khushou', wallahi my gaze lowered itself. All by itself.

My love for TV and music faded away so easily, I never believed it could happen like this.

Brothers, correct your salaah, pray humbly and with sincerety and concentrate on your every single word during the whole of salaah. I guarantee you, you will not believe what will happen to your imaan.

[salps3]

hmmm a bet alot of the comments here are not saints it is a struggle but when your alone that is when u need real imaan women are so powerfull they just dont know

[potentcokaine]

i keep my head down among most women in America cuzz there tryna to suduce you & it feels good not to lust & after 1 small glimpse i turn away but i watch TV

[MuslimahUnity]

@potentcokaine

LOL. Mashallah man.

[potentcokaine]

@MuslimahUnity yea in a America we grow up with Tv's on so thata be a tough one to shake but as far as keeping the gaze lowered it has amazing benefits you even feel better

[MuslimahUnity]

@potentcokaine

That is respectable. Man, guys these days have no respect for women & they just sit there and drool and stare when a women walks by. I see it daily & it isn't cool. Even the ladies these days ya rabi allah... they over do ALOT. Over here wearing short shorts on a 50 degree day. Astagfurillah if you going to wear short clothes wear them in warm weather at least.

[potentcokaine]

@MuslimahUnity and the men have no respect for themselves either if a man feels he has to sleep with 30 women its cuzz he has low self esteem i dont think there is any thing cute about low cut shorts & ass tattoos Qu'ran Tells us men to guard our private parts i think alot of men in the US are lustful & dirty & Islam teaches us men how to respect our bodys & souls

[MuslimahUnity]

@potentcokaine

I agree like you know the show, "Jersey Shore". The men in that show sleep with women on a constent basis to hide their self-hate & self- conciousness. Do you know that really they are searching for Fulfillment. They go around women to women feeling proud & manily about it. Just feeding Satans desires and never fufilling their own hearts. " The diffrence between a Non- Muslim and a Muslim, Is like the living and the dead" ya know.

[potentcokaine]

@MuslimahUnity yea its hard for any body but just being aware that these sins only have negative outcomes makes the believer want to lower his/her gaze or some women i know may have fulfillment if they started covering & stop sleeping around but as humans we have free will & believe it or not some people dont realize that sustaining will have amazing benifits 4 here & the here after

[faro0485]

Quran 2:235

You gotta tell them to lower their gaze, otherwise they wont. Quran 24:30

[MahyarAkbar]

sirraaj waahaaj a very nice name for a nice shiekh

[Lamacish]

The "media" and the "generation" are not christian.....

[Scray1]

I'm Muslim and you know, I was agreeing to him until he called the summer the worse time. I have no plans to lower my gaze until I'm married, until then my eyes are wide open modest or not.

[muslimgiga]

well suks for you. what do u want us to do about it?

[MuslimSolejah]

@Scray1

so if ur sista or sumfin was walkin along wud u want guys chekin her out?

[KimAerospace]

lol so true

[samiracuty]

MashAllah nice video

[gjoulkas]

eyes--heart--satan--whisper--h­eat desire--zina fornication--free sexual intercourse--change sex mate--STD--AIDS--illegitimate children--unknown descendant--irresponsible biological parents--children welfare neglected--crime--diseases--de­struction of mankind..

these are the consequences when men not lower their gaze and women do not cover their aurat and behave according to Allah's law..

[moorejr1400]

you left out screwed up families and society because we have a generation of bastards, a freak show of sin and desire, and even the media perpetuates this!!!

[TaylorThaHick]

@gjoulkas If repression is the best course, why are the top countries for porn Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia? Go a google search about that on the net.

[ibnuhisyam2008]

hehehehe I look up in the sky all the time hehehehe

[lovee4eever999]

ماشاء الله والله اكبر الله معك ياشيخنا الفاضل

[mjmichu]

OK, I don't understand something. If that is such a problem why do not SEPERATE women from man. I think it would be A LOT of easier for both men and women. Can somebody answer me that??

PEACE

[chachamanz]

seperate until marriage thats how it should be

[moorejr1400]

Islam doesn't teach that men and women to be totally separate, however, they are given guidelines as to how they do interact among each other, which is professionally and not to flurt, trivial talk, sex, lude comments, etc,

[emolosersunite]

I have got bigger problems to tend to than trying not to sin. I enjoy looking at woman especially naked ones. Why would I want to neglect myself of this pleasure? Religion is an bunch of old nonsense that creates more problems than it solves.

[WarisitaBoricua]

This is a problem in the west. I live in Egypt and you really don't see women uncovered. It's only in resorts that you find this. May Allah help us. Ameen

[theseekout101]

Islam is pure therefore it helps to purify our lives in each and every way. If your sister or mother was dressed in skimpy clothing and men were giving them dirty looks it dosnt matter what religion you are you would hate it. I say respect to all women and men of all religions and races, this is also Islams message.

[emolosersunite]

Pure what? Pure delusion, so you can live delusional lives. Woman dont need to cover themselves head to toe to receive respect. Life is a gift from god, so live it in peace and happiness. If it feels good and nobody gets hurt than do it. God gave us a brain to make our own decisions. Not to follow like sheep.

[makavelidadon23]

God is testing us bro

[emolosersunite]

what is he testing us for?

[makavelidadon23]

God is testing us to see if we can overcome these desires. Then he will reward us when we die.

[barbwilson66]

Mash'Allah!

[Tothose]

He is 100% correct no matter how much good and rightious women get u . the greatest weakness of man.

[1theTurk]

Because God made us like that my bro. this is nature of Man.

[islamforever08]

TRUE HEHE

[actmad56]

this is 1 of my problems when facing the western i wont use this as an excuse but its so hard

[islamforever08]

Aslam al alkum

May ALLAH (SWT) help every muslim lower there gaze ameen

I turn Tv on last night onto sky news and i see muslims shown as evil terrorists i hate to even watch the tv now because everytime i turn it on i feel ashamed to be a muslim living in the uk astufullah

wa salam

[TaylorThaHick]

@islamforever08 In reply to your comment, the nice thing about Islam is that you can choose it or not. If you don't like the behavior of some of your fellow Muslims, you can choose not to associate with them, or become secular. It was not the same with racism, you could not change your skin color.

[tlascar]

may allah protect our gazez

+ thank you allah for helping me lower my gaze on women (i hope this will inspire other muslims to lower their gaze)

[swiftsidewinder]

I wonder why nuns cover themselves then.

[abouyasmin]

sockaccount420 you are just stupid men blind and you can not see the truth one day you will say why idont become a muslim but its will be too late , wake up and try to live as human because the is no time to loose.

[raquelyumana]

You are sick! Please go to a psychiatrist!

[4arhan]

alhamdullillah lol

[yusefsobky]

Amazing video. I dont think i've seen a piece of islamic advice more simply put and with more impact.

[TaylorThaHick]

Let me break it down for you. The next logical step is not to hate "it", but to hate THEM - meaning women that dress how they want. This of course is how it is in the middle east. Soon you will lock them in at home, and dress them in a black bag. 

Wahhaj here says "you are a MAN!" meaning - you have no control over yourself. There is no split between the mind and the body - it is all one system. We can make choices, RATIONAL choices. Religious people are so helpless.

[raquelyumana]

Even the bible says that women has to cover their head and body!

[TaylorThaHick]

Why would something be true merely because it was said a long time ago? Bible and Koran are both merely the opinions of men - some good, some bad

[raquelyumana]

Why should it be wrong to cover oneself? Do you go naked to the street? Why do you think that people cover their bodies?

I didn't know that is a opinion of men that men has to be circumsised! I think that it has to be very painful.

I am a woman and I feel more comfortable and dressed to wear a headscarf and cover myself. Why should every men see my body? I remember when I was Catholic that men liked to have a look at my body. I don't like that. It's disgusting!

[TaylorThaHick]

@raquelyumana In response to your comment, yes, the bible also says cover up. It was also written by superstitious primitive people, so you will not find rational people trying to defend the bible.

[nocaptivity]

@TaylorThaHick excuse me but i don't think you are a human of the future, first your arrogance shows the contrary, then, supersticious or not, you don't know anything of whats really happening, you believe only what you see like all primitive animals... the eart exists since 4.5 billion years, there may ve been happening a lot of fantastical things, what u know ?

[TaylorThaHick]

@nocaptivity No miracles have ever been proved to happen. Whatever happened in the last 4.5 billion years is 99.99999% likely to be natural. It would be more arrogant to say that god speaks to you personally, and tells you how things are, right? 

[nocaptivity]

@TaylorThaHick There is something called antimatter that exists in a parralel dimensions, there is a positive and negative energy in everything, the particularities of H2O. All of these things cannot be seen to the naked eye. These things are fantastic, its something magical, it is impossible that these things were created by chance.

[TaylorThaHick]

@nocaptivity Yes, the universe is a mysterious place, but we don't need primitive people in the middle east (whether jew or muslim) attempting to explain how it happened when we have much better explanations today. None of these explanations are supernatural. The fact that we don't know how the universe began is not evidence for muhammad flying on a winged horse to Jerusalem, you know?

[nocaptivity]

@TaylorThaHick there s no rational explanation of the universe, we don't know what is the infinite. so how can we explain something in relation with it

[TaylorThaHick]

@nocaptivity Exactly nocaptivity. Religious people say "the universe is unexplainable... therefore we can explain it." They say they "know" there is a god, they know his name, what he wants, what he orders, etc. Do you see the contradiction here? Rational people say "I cannot explain the beginning of the universe... therefore I won't make things up and tryo to convince others of it so I won't feel so alone in my beliefs." What is my point here? I am trying to free you from superstition.

[nocaptivity]

@TaylorThaHick Man there is a God who sent us a lot of his books. The 3 lasts are Torah/Bible/Qoran. And He told us that the Universe has an End. You cannot explain the formation of the Universe only by sdience, our science is just a little knowledge God gave us. Tell me, how can Science explain the formation of the Big Bang

[TaylorThaHick]

@nocaptivity Well, those 3 books make incompatible claims. I think you would upset some Muslims by saying tthat Yaweh and Allah are the same god. Yaweh promised the land of Israel to the jews, they are his chosen people. Do you think Allah agrees with that? That is why all of this is fiction.

[nocaptivity]

@TaylorThaHick Genesis 15:18 declares, "To your descendants [Abraham's] I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates." He promised this land to all descendent of Abraham, and all semites are descendent of Abraham

[1993soldier]

wat bout the chirsitan nuns? thy have to wear it 247 even wen women are present and infront of their realtives. muslim women only wear it wen they goutise to protect them selfs. u knw in america every 19 min thers a rape? if they wear wering the hijab will that happen?

[1993soldier]

muslim women only wear it wen theres a non moharam * unlike the christains. if a poteinal rapist is walkin down the street and he sees 2 twin sisters one wearing a bikni and one wearing the hijab coverd head to toe. who will he rape?????obviously the one whos showing nearly all her body . so let us know that the hijab protects the women , one should be so proud that allah has blessed her in wich she dresses

[djrun]

Subhannallah, this is some great advice for us -- Inshallah more people like Imam Wahhaj can help us stay on the Right Path.

[shipemback]

this guy is my twin brother

[beNOTignorant]

he's the man

[honeyflower67]

Mashallah! I feel for the bros.

[Chatzkies]

My husband told me that this is very true that the summer time is the worst time for good muslim brothers. May Allah grant all of our brothers the strength to lower their gaze and guard their modesty.

[Crossfire2009]

this should be the number 1 video on utube

[deenalislam]

LOL MASHA ALLAH!!
