00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.360
Echoes from the pulpit.

00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:09.250
The scourge of narcotics.

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:11.589
A sermon by the honorable Sheikh,

00:00:11.589 --> 00:00:14.089
Khalid Ibn ‘Abdullah al-Hammudi,

00:00:14.089 --> 00:00:15.689
May Allah preserve him.

00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:23.809
The King of wealth never tires of being asked and petitioned.

00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:27.660
When He is asked, He gives and answers.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.460
And when He is not asked, He is displeased.

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.039
He grants worldly provision to those He loves and those He does not.

00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.439
But He grants faith only to those He loves and chooses.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.390
We praise Him, Glorified be He, in every circumstance,

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:47.020
For everything He has bestowed or withheld.

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:49.460
All praise is Yours, our Lord.

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:53.090
All praise is Yours, our Lord, in every circumstance,

00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:55.289
In times of ease and in times of hardship.

00:00:55.289 --> 00:00:58.049
For You are worthy to be praised,

00:00:58.049 --> 00:01:00.250
And You are worthy to be worshipped.

00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:07.150
And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner.

00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:11.019
He comforts the lonely and guides the stray.

00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:15.980
He forgives those who seek His forgiveness and has mercy on those who seek His mercy.

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:20.040
He conceals the sins of the disobedient and grants respite to the transgressors.

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.439
He provides without measure,

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.099
And admits into Paradise without reckoning.

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:29.200
So trust in Allah, O servant of Allah.

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.200
For the branch sprouts again when we prune it,

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.400
And the night gives birth to the morning when it reaches its fullness.

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.599
The earth will rain one day, despite its drought,

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.299
And from the depths of tragedy, hope is born.

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:55.150
And I bear witness that our master, our Prophet, and our beloved, Muhammad, is the servant of Allah and His Messenger,

00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:58.269
His chosen one and His intimate friend.

00:01:58.269 --> 00:02:02.900
Allah purified his methodology and praised his path,

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:07.769
He cleansed his heart and exalted his character,

00:02:07.769 --> 00:02:12.000
He honored his status and expanded his breast,

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
And raised high his mention.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.430
He took him as an intimate friend, a Prophet, and a Messenger.

00:02:19.430 --> 00:02:23.430
I remembered you, and my gardens blossomed,

00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:27.430
The light shone, and my records were adorned.

00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:31.430
You are the beloved whose dwelling is in the soul,

00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:35.430
And you are life itself within my veins.

00:02:35.430 --> 00:02:39.430
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad as long as a star appears,

00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:41.430
And a bird sings,

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:43.430
And a traveler chants.

00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:46.430
O Allah, send blessings, peace, and increase in grace,

00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:51.430
Upon Your servant, Messenger, Prophet, and beloved, Muhammad,

00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:53.430
And upon his family and his Companions,

00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.430
And those who are guided by his guidance,

00:02:55.430 --> 00:02:58.430
And follow his Sunnah and tread in his footsteps,

00:02:58.430 --> 00:03:02.430
And grant him abundant peace until the Day of Judgment.

00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:04.460
To proceed, O servants of Allah,

00:03:04.460 --> 00:03:07.500
I advise you and myself to fear Allah.

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:13.500
“O ye who believe! Guard your duty to Allah, and speak words straight to the point;” (33:70)

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.500
He will rectify your deeds for you,

00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:18.500
And forgive you your sins.

00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:23.500
“He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory.” (33:71)

00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.620
O community of believers,

00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:28.939
Allah has honored the human being with intellect,

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:32.069
Adorned him with understanding,

00:03:32.069 --> 00:03:36.199
And directed him toward contemplation and reflection.

00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.199
Thus, the intellect is one of the greatest blessings of Allah upon His servants.

00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.389
Through it, a person distinguishes good from evil,

00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:48.389
And the harmful from the beneficial.

00:03:48.389 --> 00:03:51.520
Through it, he manages his affairs and concerns,

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.520
Through it, nations rise,

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.520
And through it, the lives of people are organized.

00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.650
Yet there is, O servants of Allah,

00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:01.870
A real war,

00:04:01.870 --> 00:04:04.939
Intended to destroy societies,

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:07.939
Plunder their resources,

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:10.939
And ruin human life,

00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:12.939
So that his intellect is destroyed,

00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:15.969
His unity is shattered,

00:04:15.969 --> 00:04:17.970
His wealth is stolen,

00:04:17.970 --> 00:04:20.970
And he lives a prisoner of problems.

00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:24.029
He learns no beneficial knowledge,

00:04:24.029 --> 00:04:27.129
Nor does he perform any righteous deed,

00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:31.160
That would benefit himself and his community.

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.160
Therefore,

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.160
The enemies have unleashed upon the Ummah,

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.160
A great scourge,

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.160
One of the greatest scourges of the age.

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.160
How many homes it has destroyed,

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.160
How many minds it has ruined,

00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.160
How much wealth it has wasted,

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.160
How many futures it has squandered,

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.160
And how many mothers and fathers it has made to weep.

00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.160
A scourge,

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.160
Against which scholars, officials,

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.160
Parents, and educators have warned so often.

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.160
It is the scourge of narcotics.

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.160
Allah the Almighty commanded us to avoid its path,

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.160
For He, Majestic is His Majesty, said:

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.160
O you who have believed,

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.160
Indeed, intoxicants, gambling,

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.160
Sacrificing on stone alters, and divining arrows

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.160
Are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid them,

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.160
That you may succeed.

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.160
Satan only intends,

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.160
“Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done?” (5:91)

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.160
Through intoxicants and gambling,

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:37.160
“Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done?” (5:91)

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.160
So will you not then desist?

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.160
It is the key to evils,

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.160
The gateway to major sins,

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.160
The path of transgressions,

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.160
And the short road,

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.160
Toward afflictions and diseases.

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.420
It clouds the intellect,

00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:57.420
Destroys the body,

00:05:57.420 --> 00:05:59.420
Wastes wealth,

00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:02.420
And corrupts morals and values.

00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:06.420
Therefore, all nations have agreed,

00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:08.420
Upon its danger,

00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:11.420
To individuals and societies,

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:14.420
And they have agreed to fight and combat it,

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:18.420
Regardless of its types and names.

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:20.420
Among the most dangerous of them,

00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:22.420
Is the substance known as "Shabu" (crystal meth),

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:24.420
Which is a synthetic substance,

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.420
Lethal,

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.420
With devastating consequences.

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:30.420
It destroys the intellect,

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.420
Damages the nerves,

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:34.420
And causes other such dangers.

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:38.420
The Prophet, peace be upon him, says:

00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:41.420
"The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Resurrection,

00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.420
Until he is asked,

00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:46.420
About his life, how he spent it,

00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:49.420
About his knowledge, what he did with it,

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:52.420
About his wealth, from where he earned it,

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.420
And in what he spent it,

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:56.420
And about his body, in what he wore it out."

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:58.420
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:00.420
O servants of Allah,

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:02.540
When the family falls short,

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:04.540
In the duty of upbringing,

00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:06.540
And becomes negligent,

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:08.540
In the duty of warning,

00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:09.540
And becomes careless,

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:11.540
In selecting companions,

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:13.540
For their sons and daughters,

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:16.540
Some of its members fall,

00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:19.540
Prey to this scourge,

00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:22.540
And easy targets for criminals,

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:24.540
Among its dealers.

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:29.540
It is a duty upon the guardians,

00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:31.540
To care for their children,

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:33.540
And pay attention to their upbringing,

00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:35.540
A righteous upbringing,

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:37.540
And to educate them,

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:39.540
About the danger of those poisons,

00:07:39.540 --> 00:07:41.540
And to stand between them,

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.540
And that which corrupts their morals,

00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:46.540
And to warn them,

00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:48.540
To warn them against evil companions.

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:50.540
Look at how,

00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:52.540
Luqman the Wise,

00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:54.540
Planted faith,

00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:56.540
In the heart of his son,

00:07:56.540 --> 00:07:58.540
Taught him obedience,

00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:00.540
Warned him against disobedience,

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:02.540
And enlivened in him the consciousness of Allah's watchfulness:

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:04.540
"O my son,

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.540
Indeed,

00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:08.540
If it should be the weight of a mustard seed

00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.540
And should be within a rock

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:12.540
Or anywhere in the heavens

00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:14.540
Or in the earth,

00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.540
Allah will bring it forth.

00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:18.540
Indeed, Allah is Subtle and Acquainted."

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:20.540
"O my son,

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:22.540
Establish prayer,

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:24.540
Enjoin what is right,

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:26.540
And forbid what is wrong,

00:08:26.540 --> 00:08:28.540
“O my dear son! Establish worship and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity, and persevere whatever may befall thee. Lo! that is of the steadfast heart of things.” (31:17)

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:30.540
Indeed, that is of the matters requiring determination."

00:08:30.540 --> 00:08:32.539
How much have we heard and seen,

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:34.539
O servants of Allah,

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:36.539
Of the crimes of these addicts,

00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.539
Against their community, their relatives,

00:08:38.539 --> 00:08:40.539
Their children, and their spouses.

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:42.539
Here is an addict,

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:44.539
Who enters his home,

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:46.539
And sees his wife,

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:48.539
And his children,

00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:50.539
Joking and laughing,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:52.539
And he imagines,

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:54.539
That they are his enemies.

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:56.539
So he pulls a knife from his pocket,

00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:58.539
And slaughters them one by one.

00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:00.539
And another,

00:09:00.539 --> 00:09:02.539
Who enters upon his wife,

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:04.539
And fires bullets at her,

00:09:04.539 --> 00:09:06.539
While his young daughter,

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:08.539
Looks at her mother,

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:10.539
Covered in blood.

00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:12.539
You can imagine her state.

00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:14.539
And other crimes of assault,

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:16.539
Which the media outlets publish,

00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:18.539
From time to time,

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:20.539
Which make children's hair turn gray from their horror.

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:22.539
So narcotics, O servants of Allah,

00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:24.539
Are a path that holds no mercy,

00:09:24.539 --> 00:09:26.860
It is a state that leads to that.

00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:28.860
to the greatest of crimes

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:30.860
And it does not lead to that.

00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:32.860
And it does not lead to that.

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:34.860
to the greatest of crimes

00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:36.860
And it softens the hearts.

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.860
Harsh and violent.

00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:40.860
Since the one who engages in it

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:42.860
Like a ferocious beast.

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:44.860
It is impossible to predict.

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:46.860
regarding what he does

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:48.860
Everyone is warned against it.

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:50.860
And he is delivered from his evil.

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.860
The matter is of grave importance.

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:54.860
The matter is grave, and the situation is serious.

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:56.860
By Allah, O servants of Allah.

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.860
How often have some of the brothers fallen into this.

00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:00.860
upon their sisters

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:02.860
Some fathers engage in harassment.

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.860
with their daughters

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:06.860
And how many a brother has killed his own brother.

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.860
And we sacrifice.

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:10.860
Just as the ewes are slaughtered for their parents.

00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.860
And raising a weapon against his wife.

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:14.860
And he terrified his children.

00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:16.860
And he set himself on fire.

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:18.860
All of that is because of

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.860
Narcotics

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.860
May Allah protect us and you.

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:24.860
its evil, and by the grace of Allah.

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:26.860
And by the grace and mercy of Allah.

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:28.860
Then, there arose men of vigilance.

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:30.860
May Allah preserve and protect them.

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:32.860
Entry was prohibited.

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.860
Immense quantities.

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:36.860
regarding narcotics

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:38.860
And intoxicants and hashish.

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.860
If these quantities were to be

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:42.860
Regarding narcotics.

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:44.860
I traveled to the lands.

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.860
I would have killed tens of thousands.

00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:48.860
From among the young men and young women

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.860
But Allah granted safety.

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:52.860
O Allah, we place You before them.

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:54.860
at the throats

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:56.860
These traffickers and smugglers.

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.860
And we seek refuge in You from their evils.

00:10:58.860 --> 00:11:00.860
And the enemies are keen to do so.

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:02.860
Regarding smuggling.

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:04.860
For the Muslim nations in general.

00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:06.860
And specifically for our own lands.

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:08.860
Because they possess knowledge.

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.860
That narcotics

00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:12.860
The easiest path

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:14.860
for the corruption of societies

00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:16.860
Reflect, O servants of Allah.

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:18.860
In the explanation of a single [matter].

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.860
This is exclusively for the ministry.

00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:22.860
The internal aspect.

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.860
Apprehending one individual.

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:26.860
20 million Captagon pills

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:28.860
And nineteen.

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:30.860
We were overwhelmed by the abundance of grass.

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:32.860
and two hundred

00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:34.860
And nineteen.

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:36.860
A kilogram of cocaine.

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:38.860
And twenty-two kilograms.

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:40.860
From the subject of the Shama'il.

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:42.860
The wicked [trait/nature] which is

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.860
It is highly addictive.

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:46.860
And it causes hallucinations.

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:48.860
And it destroys the heart.

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:50.860
And the rupturing of arteries in the brain.

00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:52.860
And it leads to a psychological schism.

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:54.860
And a personality that leads to

00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:56.860
until his passing.

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:58.860
Do you see, O servants of Allah?

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.860
How grave is this matter.

00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:02.860
Were it not for the grace and generosity of Allah

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:04.860
And the diligence of those who are spiritually awake.

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:06.860
Security is achieved through men.

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:08.860
May Allah reward them with goodness.

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:10.860
And He made what they offer

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:12.860
in their scales of righteous deeds.

00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:14.860
And those who assisted and supported them.

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:16.860
Where was she going to go?

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.860
This heavy burden.

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:20.860
These are the vast amounts

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.860
And how many intellects will be obscured by it?

00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:24.860
And how much wealth will you squander?

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:26.860
And how many families will be destroyed by it?

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.860
How many, and how many times.

00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:30.860
And we do not say

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:32.860
Rather, we say: "Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:34.860
May Allah protect our land.

00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:36.860
May Allah have mercy upon our families.

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:38.860
And our youth

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:40.860
From this great deception.

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:42.860
And from this disgrace and shame

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:44.860
O Allah, protect our youth.

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:46.860
And our daughters

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.860
From before them and from behind them

00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:50.860
“Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right hands and from their left hands, and Thou wilt not find most of them beholden (unto Thee).” (7:17)

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:52.860
And we seek refuge in Your greatness.

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.860
That they might assassinate him.

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:56.860
from beneath them

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:58.860
O Allah, answer our prayer.

00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:00.860
May Allah bless me and you through the Magnificent Qur'an.

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:02.860
May Allah grant me and you benefit.

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:04.860
containing within it the signs and the wise reminder.

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:06.860
I say what you have heard.

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:08.860
And seek the forgiveness of Allah for me and for yourselves, so seek His forgiveness.

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:10.860
Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:14.779
All praise is due to Allah.

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:17.460
And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:19.940
And I bear witness that Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is His servant and messenger.

00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:21.940
And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:24.000
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.220
To proceed:

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:28.740
Servants of Allah

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:30.740
And due to the numerous harms caused by narcotics

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:33.179
The state waged war.

00:13:33.179 --> 00:13:35.179
May Allah protect this Ummah from this affliction.

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:37.500
And I prepared [the provisions] for the points of departure.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.500
And the airports.

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:41.629
All of the preparations.

00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:43.629
I have prepared [the necessary arrangements] at the entry points.

00:13:43.629 --> 00:13:45.629
And the airports, with all their facilities.

00:13:45.629 --> 00:13:47.629
to nullify [good deeds]

00:13:47.629 --> 00:13:49.629
The operations for smuggling it.

00:13:49.629 --> 00:13:53.629
And he inflicted the harshest forms of punishment upon the criminals.

00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:55.629
This was accompanied by that.

00:13:55.629 --> 00:13:57.629
The efforts of the scholars who act upon their knowledge.

00:13:57.629 --> 00:13:59.629
And the sincere judges.

00:13:59.629 --> 00:14:01.629
And the sincere judges.

00:14:01.629 --> 00:14:03.629
And the heroes of security who keep watch.

00:14:03.629 --> 00:14:05.629
from the security and customs personnel

00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:07.629
And the combatting of narcotics.

00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:09.629
And likewise, he would judge

00:14:09.629 --> 00:14:11.629
The zealous citizens

00:14:11.629 --> 00:14:13.629
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

00:14:13.629 --> 00:14:15.629
The intended target.

00:14:15.629 --> 00:14:17.629
In this sinful war

00:14:17.629 --> 00:14:19.629
They are our children.

00:14:19.629 --> 00:14:21.629
Our duty regarding this issue

00:14:21.629 --> 00:14:23.629
Confronting it.

00:14:23.629 --> 00:14:25.629
With all [possible] strength.

00:14:25.629 --> 00:14:27.629
And let us all, as men, be secure.

00:14:27.629 --> 00:14:29.629
and the guardians of the frontiers

00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:31.629
To sever the sinful hands.

00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:33.629
Which creeps in stealthily

00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:35.629
In the darkness

00:14:35.629 --> 00:14:37.629
To sow the seeds of corruption within our society.

00:14:37.629 --> 00:14:39.629
Let us cooperate with the authorities.

00:14:39.629 --> 00:14:41.629
The one intended by this.

00:14:41.629 --> 00:14:43.629
to expose the dens of the corruptors

00:14:43.629 --> 00:14:45.629
from the smugglers and the drug traffickers

00:14:45.629 --> 00:14:47.629
And He unveiled their secrets.

00:14:47.629 --> 00:14:49.629
And conveying [the message] on their behalf.

00:14:49.629 --> 00:14:51.629
to eradicate them

00:14:51.629 --> 00:14:53.629
And to ward off their evils.

00:14:53.629 --> 00:14:55.629
on behalf of themselves and on behalf of the Muslims

00:14:55.629 --> 00:14:57.629
Therefore, fear Allah.

00:14:57.629 --> 00:14:59.629
Servants of Allah

00:14:59.629 --> 00:15:01.629
And let no worldly occupation distract you.

00:15:01.629 --> 00:15:03.629
Or through trade.

00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:05.629
Or companionship, or gatherings.

00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:07.629
There is no benefit in it.

00:15:07.629 --> 00:15:09.629
Do not let that distract you.

00:15:09.629 --> 00:15:11.629
Regarding your presence.

00:15:11.629 --> 00:15:13.629
In close proximity to your children.

00:15:13.629 --> 00:15:15.629
And your families.

00:15:15.629 --> 00:15:17.629
Fulfill that which Allah has made obligatory upon you.

00:15:17.629 --> 00:15:19.629
From among those who preserved and guarded them.

00:15:19.629 --> 00:15:21.629
And the excellence of their upbringing.

00:15:21.629 --> 00:15:23.629
And praying for their righteousness and success.

00:15:23.629 --> 00:15:25.629
and seeking the reward from Allah

00:15:25.629 --> 00:15:27.629
In all of that.

00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:29.629
In the presence of your Lord, glorified be He.

00:15:29.629 --> 00:15:31.629
And whoever is afflicted with this vice

00:15:31.629 --> 00:15:33.629
Let him exert the necessary efforts.

00:15:33.629 --> 00:15:35.629
Regarding the treatment.

00:15:35.629 --> 00:15:37.629
through specialized hospitals

00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:39.629
For that reason,

00:15:39.629 --> 00:15:41.629
And also through charitable organizations.

00:15:41.629 --> 00:15:43.629
specialized for that purpose.

00:15:43.629 --> 00:15:45.629
We ask Allah, Majestic is His Majesty.

00:15:45.629 --> 00:15:47.629
That He may preserve [the faith] for us.

00:15:47.629 --> 00:15:49.629
Our religion

00:15:49.629 --> 00:15:51.629
And that He may preserve our security for us.

00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:53.629
And our leaders and our security personnel.

00:15:53.629 --> 00:15:55.629
and the unity of our ranks

00:15:55.629 --> 00:15:57.629
And that He may preserve our youth

00:15:57.629 --> 00:15:59.629
And our young women

00:15:59.629 --> 00:16:01.629
from the evil of the wicked.

00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:03.629
And the plotting of the wicked.

00:16:03.629 --> 00:16:05.629
And may He employ us and them in His obedience.

00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:07.629
And may He make them a source of comfort.

00:16:07.629 --> 00:16:09.629
It is a source of comfort for us all.

00:16:09.629 --> 00:16:11.629
And for the Muslims.

00:16:11.629 --> 00:16:13.629
O Allah, forgive our sins.

00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:15.629
Conceal our faults.

00:16:15.629 --> 00:16:17.629
Accept our repentance.

00:16:17.629 --> 00:16:19.629
And seal our deeds with righteousness.

00:16:19.629 --> 00:16:21.629
O Allah, protect us with Your preservation.

00:16:21.629 --> 00:16:23.629
And guard us with Your care.

00:16:23.629 --> 00:16:25.629
O Allah, avert from us the evil of the wicked.

00:16:25.629 --> 00:16:27.629
And the schemes of the corrupt sorcerers.

00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:29.629
And the evil of those who knock at night and by day.

00:16:29.629 --> 00:16:31.629
Except for one who knocks with good, O Most Merciful.

00:16:31.629 --> 00:16:33.629
O Allah, grant us security in our homelands.

00:16:33.629 --> 00:16:35.629
Reform our leaders.

00:16:35.629 --> 00:16:37.629
And those in authority over us.

00:16:37.629 --> 00:16:39.629
Expand our chests.

00:16:39.629 --> 00:16:41.629
Facilitate our affairs.

00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:43.629
And rectify our intentions and our offspring.

00:16:43.629 --> 00:16:45.629
Grant us a good conclusion to our lives.

00:16:45.629 --> 00:16:47.629
And take our souls while You are pleased with us.

00:16:47.629 --> 00:16:49.629
Grant us what we have wished for.

00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:51.629
And even more than what we have wished for.

00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:53.629
Of the good of this world and the Hereafter.

00:16:53.629 --> 00:16:55.629
O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad.

00:16:55.629 --> 00:16:57.629
And upon all his family and companions.

00:16:57.629 --> 00:16:59.629
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
