WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.060 The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, with the wife of Al-Aziz 00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:17.579 Racing to the door is a way to escape from temptation 00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:23.579 Joseph, peace be upon him, was not satisfied with theoretical talk to ward off the temptation of the wife of the Mighty One 00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:28.579 Which is one of the highest forms of women's temptation for men 00:00:28.579 --> 00:00:32.579 Rather, he was quick to push it with a practical solution 00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:35.579 So he hastened to leave the site of strife 00:00:35.579 --> 00:00:37.579 God Almighty said 00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:42.770 He waited for the door and took off his shirt from behind 00:00:42.770 --> 00:00:45.770 This is a lesson for every young man and woman 00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:49.770 To practically stay away from places of temptation 00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:53.770 And not to be satisfied with theoretical talk in the face of temptation 00:00:53.770 --> 00:00:59.770 Rather, they should not rely on their faith and good deeds 00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:02.770 While remaining in places of temptation 00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:06.769 Joseph, peace be upon him, is one of the prophets 00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:09.769 He did not rely on that and he is who he is 00:01:09.769 --> 00:01:13.769 Rather, he hastened to escape from the certainty of temptation 00:01:13.769 --> 00:01:16.859 The work that Joseph, peace be upon him, did 00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:20.859 It is the same work that the dear woman did 00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:23.859 Which is the competition to the door 00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:28.859 But the intention of this haste is different between them 00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:33.930 Joseph, peace be upon him, preceded the wife of the Mighty One to the door 00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:37.930 Escaping from the site of temptation that invites him to it 00:01:37.930 --> 00:01:42.930 Al-Aziz’s wife preceded Joseph, peace be upon him, to the door 00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:54.019 To prevent him from escaping from the site of sedition 00:01:54.019 --> 00:02:20.020 To prevent him from leaving, force was even used to prevent him from doing so, until this force led to Joseph’s shirt being torn, and this is an important benefit for every young man and woman, which is that at the moment they escape from places of temptation, there are those who pursue them in every way to bring them down and prevent them from escaping. 00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:38.020 He will never hesitate to use all his power to lure young men and women into temptation and immorality, so the level of escape from places of temptation should be higher than the force of attraction used by those with lusts. 00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:51.020 Joseph's shirt was torn from the force of the dear woman's attraction to him on the one hand, and from the force of Joseph, peace be upon him, moving away from her on the other hand, so the tear was in the clothes. 00:02:51.020 --> 00:03:13.060 You, young men and women, may suffer some material damage to some of your property when you escape from contemporary temptations to protect your religion, so do not pay attention to it and do not be sad about it, for perhaps salvation will be due to what we were harmed by on the surface. 00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:36.219 The strength required today from young men and women in the face of contemporary temptations woven by lustful people today is not physical strength, but rather it is the strength of faith on the rock of which all the waves of temptation that seek to destroy young men and women break. 00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:55.250 The strength of faith begins with holding fast to the strong rope of God, which is the Great Qur’an, by acting on what is in it and transforming it into a way of life upon which the life of a young man and a girl is based, whether young or old. 00:03:55.250 --> 00:04:04.250 He took a lesson from the stories of the prophets and predecessors in knowing how to confront the people of falsehood with argument and proof. 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:12.280 Then follow the example of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in compliance with the words of God Almighty 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:29.279 You have in the Messenger of God a good example for those who hope in God and the Hereafter and remember God often 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:37.699 By studying his biography and knowing his guidance to us in such circumstances and tribulations. 00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:48.790 Then study the lives of the righteous throughout the previous centuries, including scholars, preachers, and reformers, to fix the heart on the truth, God Almighty said 00:04:48.790 --> 00:05:08.860 We will narrate to you the news of the Messengers with which to strengthen your heart, and this truth will come to you and it will be an admonition and a reminder for the believers. 00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:18.269 If the stories of the prophets confirm the heart of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, then we are in greater need of them. 00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:27.339 Then know the ways of criminals and their means of seducing young men and women in order to repel them and warn against them. 00:05:27.339 --> 00:05:39.339 Obtaining the strength of faith with which a young man can protect himself and a girl can protect herself from falling into temptation is a duty for both of them 00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:45.339 So that it will be easier for them to anticipate the doors of salvation from temptations. 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:51.779 We will continue the rest of the discussion in an upcoming meeting, God willing 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:57.459 The story of Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz
