 Why are drugs prohibited when someone says why is this weed or why is this marijuana or why is this heroin or this Cocaine or all of these why are they prohibited? Firstly the Quran said that there is a hormone on intoxicants these intoxicants cover your reasoning Secondly because shaytan is behind them to cause destruction for you How because when shaytan gets a grip of somebody who's entered the world of Intoxicants, it's game over. It's hard to get back in the eye on drugs in the Quran Allah said what are you? Look at this unbelievable line Quran said that drugs intoxicants are prohibited Surely, do you know what shaytan wants to do with you when you enter his world of drugs? Do you know what he wants to do? First thing he wants to do is he wants to bring hate and war between you and others These drug cartels that we saw in the world. How many lost their lives? Escobar Colombian football player not other escobars the Colombian football player Scored an own goal in 1994 welcome. I don't know how many of you remember 1994 World Cup scored an over But then the person lost his life the people involved in that and then that's it One car to another car to this group against this group How many innocent children in Colombia lost their lives because of groups fighting each other over power How many as in when you look at all of these television programs and chapel and everything? Well, the Quran explained these before they come here The Quran said in my you read the shaytan to do what with Intoxicants with gambling. Yes, because the word mason is mentioned I'm not is normally used for gambling. I'm not as part of the mason family You find that shaytan uses these to do what he brings between your adawa and Bahba he brings those who take drugs He enters them into a world of wars because when you start shotting you start shotting on behalf of someone You start dealing on behalf of someone when you're dealing on behalf of someone you either because of your Intellect being covered either there are times where you deliver for that person you make a good amount of wealth Or there are times you think hold on a minute. I've got good money on me here in this car Why don't I do something else and go and sell something without him knowing running away with the family from the family? Before you know it you have two groups who grew up with each other in the same city ready to murder each other When I read sometimes in the north of England in the north you hear sometimes in certain parts of the north of England Muslims non-muslims of getting on Muslim you look at the names of the drug gangs in the north of England You see these names and you're like walla these are names some of them are of prophets of Allah Some of them are watch some of them are of companions of the Holy Prophet peace performance family I look at the list of names this guy Killed this guy this guy burnt this guy's house this guy damaged this guy's car The Quran said you want to know what drugs are You enter the world where shaytan is licking his lips Because now you've entered the world the moment you cannot use your aqa to overpower Shaytan he will start to make adawa and Baba between you hatred and immocity There are some people here in this hall if I was to ask them how many friends did they lose because of drugs? If I was to ask them how many did you lose because of drugs? How many lives got destroyed because how many take out their anger on their parents because of drugs? Because you know sometimes when you enter the world of weeds or whether it's a downer or an upper you always feel the whole world against you Mom, you don't know what I'm on about dad. You don't know what I'm on about none of you understand me anger anger Anger builds up origin of this is rule. Shaytan is the origin Shaytan the Quran says after that verse on drugs Inna maya read who's shaytan and you can have a name come a bug Yes, he wants to bring what he wants to bring this adawa and bugger in using what? filhamri using our Intoxicants when he uses these intoxicants you look at some of the supporters in football matches. Well, the moment he's had one of these Some of them can go to 20 mashallah, but what moment one of them has one of these Gone gone gone that person is what I said now, you know some of the guys who watch football already were crazy Imagine you put that in that person and then what's he gonna do? Southern punch up between two how many football matches have you seen where there are punch-ups between groups of people willing to kick each Other's heads on the ground because of an intoxicant likewise when I see countries like Colombia I see countries like South America where there are lovers of Jesus, son of Mary Catholics. I've lectured in Costa Rica I've lectured in where Mexico City. I've lectured in these places You see some of the most wonderful Christians in the world and each one has a story related to drugs taking one of their brother's life Each one each one these are Allah's children. It doesn't matter if I'm a Muslim and you're a non-Muslim All of us are the children of Allah in the sense that Allah nourishes us once the best for us And what does shaitan do after he's made you fight after he's made gangs After he's made you submissive to a guy on top who answers to a guy on top and answers to a guy on top And none of them is Allah. Then what does he do? Then he blocks you from remembering Allah First thing he blocks the remembrance of Allah. What does block the remembrance of Allah? I mean you begin to forget how lucky you are with the rizq Allah gave you in life You forget many of us are ungrateful. Look at those two parents you have thank Allah Subhanu wa ta'ala for who you have for there are orphans in this world They do not have a mom and a dad There are children in this world who grew up without a parent you instead of being grateful to Allah Subhanu wa ta'ala Those drugs begin to make you forget that which God has given you Allah gave you these eyes when the Quran says Aenein, listen, wa shafatain Allah gave you the eyes. He gave you the beautiful tongue. He gave you those lips Well, sometimes in some third world countries you see children with a deformity on their face They're born with a deformity. They're not able to even look straight and you are born full of help You are able to run around Jogs, strides, you're able to get an education But what happens when you go into the world of drugs? Dikr Allah suddenly begins to go Even attendants because what is the best dikr of Allah? The dikr of Muhammadan al-Muhammad salawatullahi wa salamu alayhi maa Allahumma salamu mad-dhu'an Allahumma salam Because this is a dikr that we have in Majalat. Suddenly You who used to be there in Muharram, in Shaharam-e-Aman You used to be there in the willada. You used to be there in the shahada All of a sudden you find that your remembrance of Allah on these occasions you start going missing The only reason you turn up to the mosque is no more dikr Allah Notice, Subhanallah, car parks of mosques are sometimes the best place to have a split Because you gotta make sure your parents think you're at mosque So when you make sure your parents think that you're at mosque, where's better? Then let me go out those guys are smoking cigarettes who's gonna know I'm gonna go around the corner and let's do this Look what shaytan does he makes you forget the dikr of Allah inside the hall Inside there's a matchless going on of Abaa Abdullah Abdullah, what greater treasure is there in this world than Majlis al-Husayn, alayhi salam? What greater treasure? Majlis al-Husayn brings it naan to the heart of the human being, and instead you find that these people, sadly, what let breaks your heart? Every car park you go to, look in the corner far away, there's a group of five standing there. And what you're going to say that we don't know the Quran is telling you, Baba Shaytan yasudakum an dhikr Allah, and what's his most important weapon wa'ana s-salah? Because once you start to enter that world, Salah starts being sometimes, maybe, if I'm on it, if I'm ready to do it. I'm not saying these things. Had I said these things, you would say, well, that's your opinion. Allah says that that world of Hamur, Shaytan makes sure that you forget Allah, and you begin to forget Salah. Why does Allah mention you forget Salah? Because if you really appreciate what Salah is and maintain that connection with Allah, you show that you want to be guided, Allah will open the doors of guidance for you. Even if you're someone who's a drug addict or a drug dealer, get down on that premise. Even if you just show Allah the time remembering you in Salah, Allah will open many doors for you. Allah will not leave you like that. Therefore the Quran, what did it say? The Quran said that Shaytan would ensure that the moment you're in the world of drugs, you fight each other, you work for gangs, you're ready to kill in order that you get, you see some of these heroin addicts. Ya Allah, may Allah never show any of our youth what you see with the heroin addict. Heroin addict wakes up in the morning, cannot rest, cannot rest until they know that somebody is waiting for them. Only when they know, and you know to subhan Allah psychologically, sometimes they don't even have to take that heroin, just knowing that they've collected it, they calm down. Which shows that there is that period in the middle which can be worked on. But that heroin addict who we see, that heroin addict cannot rest, you look at them, no more eating or sudden random eating with some drugs, suddenly you're randomly eating, as they say the munchies just randomly eating. And when you see that someone asked the question that this person, Allah opens the door of Maqfira for them. As in someone who's got the needle or someone who's got the foil and they've been doing it 24 seven, that person, Allah keeps the door of Toba open for them or is it held straight away? No, the door of Toba is always open for them. Never. Any of you here who may have dabbled with some substances, part of the problem is be careful it doesn't become a gateway to more destructive substances.
