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 --> 00:00:14.720 And Joseph was steadfast in the face of the greatest temptation 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:20.550 A woman's temptation is the greatest temptation that a young man can experience 00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:26.550 There is no escape from it except by turning to God and seeking recovery from its evil through Him 00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:31.649 Then take legal reasons to confront this temptation 00:00:31.649 --> 00:00:36.649 Joseph, peace be upon him, was afflicted by the temptation of Al-Aziz’s wife 00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:38.649 She is of position and beauty 00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:41.649 He is a strange boy in her house 00:00:41.649 --> 00:00:44.649 He has no family in the country of strife 00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:49.649 Despite all this, he was unable to fall into it 00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:52.649 And seek refuge in God from its evil 00:00:52.649 --> 00:00:55.649 He chose prison over responding to sedition 00:00:55.649 --> 00:00:58.869 Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said 00:00:58.869 --> 00:01:02.869 Joseph, peace be upon him, sought refuge from their evil and plots 00:01:02.869 --> 00:01:08.870 And the Lord said, “The prison is more beloved to me than what they invite me to.” 00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:10.900 None of it is obscene 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:14.900 Otherwise, turn away from me their plots, and I will attack them 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:19.900 That is, if you leave me to myself, I have no power over it 00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:22.900 I have no power to harm or benefit her 00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:24.900 Except with your power and strength 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:27.900 You are the one who is being helped and you are the one who needs help 00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:30.900 Do not leave me to myself 00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:34.000 I will seek them and be among the ignorant 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.000 So his Lord answered him 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.000 Verse 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.000 This is because Joseph, peace be upon him, was protected by God with great protection 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.000 He protected him and abstained from her strictly 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.000 He chose prison over that 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.000 This is the highest level of perfection 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.000 It is with his youth, beauty and perfection 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000 She calls him his lady 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.000 She is the woman of dear Egypt 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.000 Despite this, she is extremely beautiful, wealthy, and powerful 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.000 He refrains from doing so 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.000 He chooses prison over that 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.000 Fearing God and hoping for His reward 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.060 This is why it is proven in the two Sahih books 00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:18.060 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:24.060 Seven people God will mislead under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:29.060 A just and young imam who grew up in the worship of God 00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:32.060 And a man whose heart is attached to the mosque 00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.060 If he leaves it until he returns to it 00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:38.060 Two men loved each other for the sake of God 00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:41.060 They gathered on it and dispersed on it 00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:44.060 A man gave alms and hid it 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:48.060 So that his left hand does not know what his right hand has spent 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.060 A man was invited by a woman of position and beauty 00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:55.060 He said, “I fear God.” 00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:59.060 And a man mentioned God in private, and his eyes filled with tears 00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:02.259 And for the youth of Joseph, peace be upon him 00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:06.259 A good role model in confronting the temptation of women 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:10.259 But before we review Joseph's method 00:03:10.259 --> 00:03:12.259 In the face of the temptation of a dear woman 00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:15.259 And the women we were with 00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:17.259 A method must be mentioned 00:03:17.259 --> 00:03:20.259 Young men are exposed to the temptation of women 00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:22.419 Young people 00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:26.419 The temptation of women comes to you in two ways 00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:29.419 The first is a passing road 00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:33.419 This happens because the young man sees the girl 00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:37.419 Or communicate with her in one way or another 00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:41.419 Or what happens in mixed family gatherings 00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:45.539 The second is a systematic and deliberate method 00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:48.539 This is what human devils do 00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:52.539 Of planning to lure young men into the temptation of women 00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:55.539 In every way they can 00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:56.539 Who like 00:03:56.539 --> 00:04:00.539 Flood the community with crazy, mixed parties 00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:04.539 Under the pretext of entertainment and openness to the world 00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:09.699 Imposing co-education at all academic levels 00:04:09.699 --> 00:04:14.740 Integrating women into all businesses and in various fields 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:18.740 Preventing the allocation of places for women and others for men 00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.740 In all fields of life 00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:24.930 Preventing advice and enjoining good deeds in society 00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:28.930 Under the pretext of allowing the exercise of personal freedoms 00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:34.959 Flooding the media space with degrading and immoral films and series 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.959 And present it as a role model 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.990 Spreading adornment among women and encouraging it 00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:48.990 With restrictions on the legal hijab and veiled women in all fields of life 00:04:48.990 --> 00:04:53.149 Opening the doors of brothels and facilitating them for young people 00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:59.279 Abolishing all laws that protect chastity in society and condemn adultery 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.279 Enacting laws that allow adultery to spread 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.279 Such as consensual adultery is not considered a crime 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:12.279 Preventing women from earning money through adultery and punishing them for that 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.279 For adultery to become free in society 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:22.279 And many other schemes targeting the chastity of young men and girls 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:30.500 This systematic path may be accompanied by other factors that help young men fall into the temptation of women 00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:33.540 One must be careful of it 00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:37.540 With increased vigilance and caution for those who pass through it 00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:41.540 Like first exile 00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:44.540 Young people are alienated because of their studies 00:05:44.540 --> 00:05:47.540 Or because of immigration from unjust countries 00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:50.540 Highly susceptible to temptation 00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:54.540 There is no scruple from the society in which he lives 00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:57.540 Nor from his family due to their distance from him 00:05:57.540 --> 00:06:01.540 This makes it easier for him to fall into the temptation of women 00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:06.540 Some countries have used this method to corrupt young people 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:10.540 By inventing educational scholarship programs in the countries of the infidels 00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:15.540 Involving large numbers of young men and women in these programmes 00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:19.540 Until he returns and the souls of most of them have been absorbed 00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:22.540 What they want in the near future 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:27.660 Joseph was a stranger in Egypt, far from his family 00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:32.660 However, he was resistant to temptation and did not fall into it 00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:37.759 Secondly, she orders a group of women to seduce the young man 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.759 This is one of the misfortunes of this time 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.759 It has spread in many societies today 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.759 Collective movement of girls in pursuit of young men 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.889 And practicing vice collectively 00:06:54.889 --> 00:06:58.889 And Joseph, peace be upon him, was commanded by women with the wife of Al-Aziz 00:06:58.889 --> 00:07:03.079 To bring him down into immorality, so he refrained from doing so 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.079 Thirdly, the threat of imprisonment or dismissal from work 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:11.079 Or being prevented from completing studies or being expelled from the country 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:17.079 If the young man does not commit immorality with the lady of the palace and her perverted group 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.079 Joseph, peace be upon him, was threatened with imprisonment 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.079 He chose it rather than fall into temptation 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.209 Follow the example of Joseph, peace be upon him, in confronting him 00:07:28.209 --> 00:07:32.209 For the temptation of the dear woman and the women who were with her 00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:36.209 A must for all young men and women 00:07:36.209 --> 00:07:39.209 In the face of such strife 00:07:39.209 --> 00:07:42.370 How did Joseph, peace be upon him, confront it? 00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:49.560 Joseph, peace be upon him, faced the temptation of Al-Aziz’s wife and the women who were with her 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.720 In several ways, first 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.720 By God, we will recover from this temptation 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.720 He said in the face, "Heat you, God forbid." 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.720 This restoration was in the face of strife from the beginning 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.779 Every young man wants to escape from the temptation of women 00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:14.779 He seeks refuge in God from her during his first encounter with her 00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:16.980 The second one 00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:20.980 When Joseph, peace be upon him, saw that the sedition was continuing 00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:25.980 Attempts are repeated against him to bring him into strife 00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:28.980 Repeat is to restore God from temptation 00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:32.980 And insisting on praying to God to take it away from him 00:08:34.169 --> 00:08:39.169 Likewise, the young man should continue to seek restoration in God from temptation 00:08:39.169 --> 00:08:41.169 As long as he is alive 00:08:41.169 --> 00:08:44.169 Until God saves him from it 00:08:44.169 --> 00:08:46.330 The third one 00:08:46.330 --> 00:08:49.330 Practical escape from the place of strife 00:08:49.330 --> 00:08:54.330 Joseph, peace be upon him, after his recovery from Hit Lak 00:08:54.330 --> 00:08:58.330 He ran ahead of the door to escape from her and she followed him 00:08:58.330 --> 00:09:03.330 It is not enough, young man, to seek God's protection from the temptation of women 00:09:03.330 --> 00:09:08.330 Then frequent places of infatuation and do not turn away from them 00:09:08.330 --> 00:09:12.330 Such as sitting in mixed cafes in commercial complexes 00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:17.330 Or frequenting the markets frequently without the need to buy 00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:20.330 Or go to mixed entertainment areas 00:09:20.330 --> 00:09:23.330 And attending crazy parties 00:09:23.330 --> 00:09:26.330 Or access websites 00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:29.620 And malicious electronic programs 00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:31.620 Then I know, young man 00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:36.620 You may be afflicted with a source of temptation from which you cannot escape 00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:40.620 Such as mixed study and mixed jobs 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:46.620 Joseph, peace be upon him, was also afflicted with staying in Al-Aziz’s palace with Al-Aziz’s wife 00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:48.620 It is the basis of strife 00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:54.620 There is no escape from following Joseph in his supplication for God to avert temptation from you 00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:56.620 And the urgency in that 00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.779 Fourth 00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:01.779 I turn to God in the face of temptation 00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:06.779 This is evident from his supplication, peace be upon him, when he said: 00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:13.779 Otherwise, turn away from me their machinations, and I will follow them and be more foolish than the ignorant 00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:18.899 The young man's arrogance in himself, his mind, and his personal abilities 00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:22.899 And he supported her in the face of the temptation of women 00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:25.899 It is the beginning of falling into temptation 00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:32.899 A woman is more capable than a man of plotting against him and making him fall in love with her if she wants 00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:38.899 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, taught us to seek refuge in God every morning and evening 00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:41.899 From rest to self 00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:47.899 He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, recommending his daughter Fatima, may God be pleased with her 00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:51.899 What prevents you from hearing what I command you? 00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:55.899 To say if you are in the morning and if you are in the evening 00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:59.899 O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living, by Your mercy I seek help 00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:02.899 Fix all my affairs for me 00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:05.899 And do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye 00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:10.059 And self-confidence in the face of women's temptation 00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:16.059 It means that the young man believes that he is able to face this temptation on his own 00:11:16.059 --> 00:11:22.059 And he is wiser than a woman hiring him and making him fall in love with her 00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:26.059 This is true arrogance and self-esteem 00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:28.059 It is the beginning of the fall 00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:30.580 Fifth 00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:34.580 Taking available alternatives to avoid temptation 00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:38.580 Even if it is different from what a person desires and loves 00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:43.610 Joseph, peace be upon him, had the choice between two things, not a third 00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:47.610 Either he committed indecency or imprisonment 00:11:47.610 --> 00:11:50.610 He chose prison over committing indecency 00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:53.610 He has no third option 00:11:53.610 --> 00:11:57.610 Prison, even if it is disliked by humans in general 00:11:57.610 --> 00:12:00.610 However, Joseph, peace be upon him 00:12:00.610 --> 00:12:05.610 He made him beloved to himself for the sake of God’s pleasure and pleasure 00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:11.610 The Lord said, “The prison is more beloved to me than what they are calling me to.” 00:12:11.610 --> 00:12:15.610 He turned what is hateful to the soul into what is beloved to it 00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:19.740 In order to escape the temptation of women 00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:21.740 Be sure, young man 00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:25.740 Nothing can save you from temptation except turning to God 00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:27.740 And seek refuge in Him 00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:31.740 God Almighty responded to His Prophet Joseph, peace be upon him 00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:33.740 Why did he resort to it? 00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:35.740 And God Almighty said 00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:39.769 So his Lord responded to him and averted his plot 00:12:39.769 --> 00:12:44.019 He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing 00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:46.019 For the rest of the talk 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:50.019 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:55.500 The story of Joseph and Al-Aziz’s wife
