Highlights

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala warned us that the shatan does not come to you and me and tell us to jump and do major sins right away. He uses gradual steps to lead us astray.

The Quran instructs us four times to not follow the footsteps of shatan. Shatan leads us into sin incrementally, starting with small actions.

The main organs that shatan focuses on to ruin our life and worship are the eyes. Therefore, Allah commands us to lower our gaze.

Lowering the gaze is not just a command, it is an act of worship. It protects us from falling into further sin and helps us attain purity.

When believers lower their gaze, they perform an act of worship because it is a command from Allah. This act has a reward, a warning, and purification.

The first accidental look is forgiven, but if it is followed by a second look, it becomes a sin. We must be vigilant about our gaze.

Shatan causes marital discord by making spouses compare their partners to others they see, which leads to dissatisfaction and potentially divorce.

The obsession with social media and unrealistic standards of beauty delays marriages for many young people, as they wait for a perfect, non-existent partner.

Always remember that Allah is watching. This awareness helps to lower our gaze and avoid sinful behaviors.

Angels record every action, including our gazes. Being mindful of this can help us avoid sinful looks.

Lowering the gaze leads to the sweetness of Iman (faith), as it is a sincere act done solely for Allah’s sake.

Vision is a great blessing from Allah, and one way to thank Him is to use it in ways that are pleasing to Him, avoiding haram (forbidden) sights.

If struggling with the sin of the gaze, sincerely ask Allah for help. Allah has promised to assist those who strive to avoid sin.

Avoid places where haram is prevalent. It is challenging to lower your gaze in such environments, so it is better to avoid them.

For those unable to marry, fasting is a recommended way to control desires, as per the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

with social media and they look at the

social media and they see this deceptive

Beauty and they think I'm waiting for

the wife that looks like this and I'm

there's nobody in the house the curtains

are closed and the lights are

off and while they're watching the

Haram they hear a

move they start shaking and trembling

and they turn everything

off that

[Music]

panicking from the move from hearing the

move

is worse than the sin

itself because you are

fearing someone more than

Allah they fear mankind but they do not

fear Allah and Allah with his knowledge

he is with them so first remember my

brother and sisters that Allah is

watching

second remember that Allah assigned

honorable angels to write everything

vacationing nobody knows you you are in

a different state no one knows you and

you saw something Haram and you lowered

your gaze because Allah is watching not

fourth vision is one of the greatest

blessings that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
