1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,399
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:11,589
Within the embrace of Allah, happiness pours into the hearts.

3
00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:15,589
Draw ever closer to the Most Merciful.

4
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:18,589
The Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Musa Mosque.

5
00:00:18,589 --> 00:00:21,589
With excellence, presents:

6
00:00:21,589 --> 00:00:24,589
The Musk of Discourse.

7
00:00:24,589 --> 00:00:27,589
By Sheikh Usama Bahr, may Allah preserve him.

8
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:35,590
Everyone who obeys the Lord dissolves into the sweetest feeling.

9
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:37,590
Would you accept it for your mother?

10
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:44,090
These are the teachings of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

11
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:48,090
To a young man who came seeking permission to commit adultery.

12
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:51,090
It is a crime of grave consequence.

13
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:54,090
It strikes at the very heart of society.

14
00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:56,149
What is particularly noteworthy

15
00:00:56,149 --> 00:00:59,149
is what the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did

16
00:00:59,149 --> 00:01:04,150
by stirring the sense of protective jealousy within this young man.

17
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:06,150
For just as he feels protective jealousy,

18
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:09,150
so too do others feel it.

19
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:13,150
This is the primary remedy for such a sin.

20
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:16,150
For with a heart filled with faith and an active sense of honor,

21
00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:21,150
a person stands before these sacred boundaries and does not violate them.

22
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:24,150
On the authority of Abu Umama, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

23
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:29,150
A young man came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and said:

24
00:01:29,150 --> 00:01:31,150
"O Messenger of Allah,

25
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:33,150
grant me permission to commit adultery."

26
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:36,150
The people turned toward him and rebuked him,

27
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:39,150
saying, "Stop! Stop!"

28
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:43,150
But the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to him,

29
00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:44,150
"Come closer."

30
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:46,150
He came close to him.

31
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:48,150
He said, "Sit down."

32
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:51,150
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

33
00:01:51,150 --> 00:01:53,150
"Would you like it for your mother?"

34
00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:56,150
He said, "No, by Allah,

35
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:58,150
may Allah make me a ransom for you."

36
00:01:58,150 --> 00:01:59,219
He said,

37
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:03,409
"Neither do people like it for their mothers."

38
00:02:03,409 --> 00:02:04,409
He said,

39
00:02:04,409 --> 00:02:06,409
"Would you like it for your daughter?"

40
00:02:06,409 --> 00:02:07,409
He said,

41
00:02:07,409 --> 00:02:09,409
"No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah,

42
00:02:09,409 --> 00:02:11,409
may Allah make me a ransom for you."

43
00:02:11,409 --> 00:02:12,539
He said,

44
00:02:12,539 --> 00:02:16,539
"Neither do people like it for their daughters."

45
00:02:16,539 --> 00:02:17,659
He said,

46
00:02:17,659 --> 00:02:19,659
"Would you like it for your sister?"

47
00:02:19,659 --> 00:02:20,759
He said,

48
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:22,759
"No, by Allah,

49
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:24,759
may Allah make me a ransom for you."

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:25,919
He said,

51
00:02:26,379 --> 00:02:29,379
"Neither do people like it for their sisters."

52
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:30,729
He said,

53
00:02:31,330 --> 00:02:33,330
"Would you like it for your paternal aunt?"

54
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:34,370
He said,

55
00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:35,830
"No, by Allah,

56
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:38,129
may Allah make me a ransom for you."

57
00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:38,990
He said,

58
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:42,610
"Neither do people like it for their paternal aunts."

59
00:02:43,219 --> 00:02:43,719
He said,

60
00:02:44,259 --> 00:02:46,259
"Would you like it for your maternal aunt?"

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,419
He said,

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,879
"No, by Allah,

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
may Allah make me a ransom for you."

64
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:52,009
He said,

65
00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:55,530
"Neither do people like it for their maternal aunts."

66
00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:59,560
He then placed his hand upon him and said:

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,360
"O Allah, forgive his sin, purify his heart, and guard his chastity."

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,560
After that, the young man never turned his attention to such things again.

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,539
Today, we are in need of this Prophetic method of upbringing,

70
00:03:14,539 --> 00:03:19,539
with the rise of temptations and the ease of slipping into the mire of desire.

71
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:25,060
It has been mentioned in a hadith that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

72
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:30,060
"Allah marvels at a young man who has no inclination toward youthful folly,"

73
00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:33,060
meaning he has no tendency toward base desires.

74
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:38,060
It is rare to find a young man standing firm in the face of trials.

75
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:40,060
That is difficult.

76
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:46,060
Therefore, Allah the Almighty marvels at a young man who has no lapse into the forbidden.

77
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:51,580
Hence, the young man who remains firm and patient in an age of trials deserves

78
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:56,580
to be among those seven whom Allah will shade in His shade

79
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:59,580
on the day when there is no shade but His.

80
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:02,580
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

81
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:06,580
"...and a young man who is tempted by a woman of status and beauty,

82
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:09,580
but says: 'I fear Allah.'"

83
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:11,580
So, be gentle with the youth,

84
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:15,580
for they are the charge of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

85
00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:18,670
He has indeed enjoined us to treat the youth with goodness.

86
00:04:18,670 --> 00:04:21,670
And so that chastity is not assassinated in this age of trials,

87
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:24,670
let us encourage the youth toward the completion of their faith (marriage).

88
00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:28,670
And let us call upon guardians to facilitate the matters of marriage

89
00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:33,670
before every weak and tempted soul crosses the red lines,

90
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:35,670
and the forbidden occurs.

91
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:38,670
For no one would accept it for his mother,

92
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:41,670
and no one would accept it for society as a whole.

93
00:04:46,339 --> 00:04:50,339
The greatest happiness is in the hearts.

94
00:04:50,339 --> 00:04:54,339
Draw ever closer to the Most Merciful,

95
00:04:54,339 --> 00:04:58,339
so that joy may embrace you.

96
00:04:58,339 --> 00:05:02,339
Attach your soul to your Lord,

97
00:05:02,339 --> 00:05:06,339
and fill the surroundings with light.

98
00:05:06,339 --> 00:05:10,339
Everyone who obeys the Lord

99
00:05:10,339 --> 00:05:14,699
dissolves into the sweetest feeling.

100
00:05:14,699 --> 00:05:18,699
There is darkness, then light,

101
00:05:18,699 --> 00:05:22,699
and life thereafter.

102
00:05:22,699 --> 00:05:30,699
If Allah wills a thing, He says to it, "Be," and it is.
