[1:53]later on rahim allah yes sisters there are plenty of chairs here

[2:01]in the front fill them up you too also brothers please fill

[2:05]those chairs to the front so we leave the you know the

[2:11]back church for those who come later sallallahu one of the major

[2:31]challenges that the world community faces is the drug abuse and the

[2:40]addiction albeit with varying degrees some countries suffer a lot and some

[2:45]countries and some regions suffer less nonetheless this is a universal issue

[2:52]every country worldwide have this problem the problem of drug addictions and

[3:01]drug substance abuse far transcends the individuals themselves it affects their families

[3:09]their communities their national resources the business in general and everything that

[3:19]is associated with them somehow directly or indirectly get affected here in

[3:25]the in the united states based on a survey in 2002 meaning

[3:31]20 years ago it shows that the economic loss the economic and

[3:35]financial losses of substance abuse only in 2002 were 181 billion dollars

[3:45]that much loss has caused due to substance abuse and drug addictions

[3:53]of course here we're not talking about the human toll here are

[3:58]some numbers i would like to share with you it says that

[4:01]in the drug abuse responsible for 750 000 deaths per year out

[4:14]of those 550 almost 550 are 550 000 due to premature death

[4:21]either infanticide you know those newborns have not even born and they

[4:28]die still birth or at young ages 15 20 30 40 years

[4:36]those people die at a premature age this is 550 and about

[4:44]170 175 000 people die from overdoses of drugs of course this

[4:54]is statistics does not talk about those victims who die through the

[5:02]cartel and transportation and in the you know the crimes and the

[5:08]gangs that transport these materials those substance from countries of continent to

[5:14]continent and meanwhile they get cat they get caught and many of

[5:19]them you know get killed they're gone so this is only the

[5:26]financial loss and the human toll that has happened it says that

[5:30]one percent of world's population about 80 million 90 million somehow have

[5:38]been affected by substance abuse either they are addicted to drugs who

[5:46]turn to narcotics and alike this is a worldwide problem it is

[5:53]not only you know for example pertaining to the us or to

[5:56]europe or to our own countries back in middle east it's a

[5:59]worldwide uh problem now with statistics bear out the fact that there

[6:08]is a strong correlation strong relationship between drug addictions and crimes crime

[6:18]and drug addiction go hand in hand together in three possibilities first

[6:26]use related crime because the person is under heavy influence of the

[6:34]drug or alcohol it commits a crime he commits a crime or

[6:38]she commits a crime this is one way it's called use related

[6:42]crime because they have ingested or administered drugs and they are subconscious

[6:49]unconscious not to their full mental power therefore they commit a crime

[6:56]this is one way the other one is financial related crimes because

[7:03]the person lacks money and he needs to go and buy drugs

[7:07]alcohol he cannot afford it he doesn't have it therefore he commit

[7:14]himself or herself to another crime either burger burglary robbery sometimes armed

[7:21]robberies and so forth in order to fulfill his desires and the

[7:27]third kind of a dr crime that i just narrated is system

[7:33]related crime which pertains to the transportation the drug cartel those you

[7:41]know criminals who involve in mafia and gangs in order to pass

[7:45]these drugs these substances from country to country and sell it of

[7:51]course when you look at them those big oligarch or the drug

[7:57]cartel they never take it they are not you know addictive to

[8:03]it that they are very good at selling to the poor people

[8:07]now again i want to share with you some other statistics but

[8:12]when we talk about addiction we don't mean only drug addiction it

[8:19]is substance addiction as well as behavioral addiction you have drugs alcohol

[8:27]cigarette tobacco hookah these are all substance addiction and we have behavioral

[8:37]addiction gambling you know gambling is one of the biggest source of

[8:44]you know addiction for people people become addicted to gambling sex porn

[8:50]technology we are so obsessed with our our iphones and whatsapps and

[9:00]so forth people become addicted to technology so anything any substance or

[9:07]any behavior anything that we show carving toward we car for it

[9:12]with so much obsessiveness and compulsive behavior and lack of awareness and

[9:21]concern for the consequences if you tell the person you're going to

[9:24]get caught he says hell i don't care any substance and any

[9:31]behavior that fits into this category meaning that i become obsessive and

[9:36]compulsive and pursued for that thing at any means and i streamline

[9:43]all my efforts and my energy to reach it without thinking of

[9:48]the consequences this is called addiction so there are numerous agents of

[9:58]addictions and each one of them by itself is terrible some people

[10:02]get panicked of the for example if they still stay away from

[10:06]the internet or from their iphones this is an addiction we should

[10:11]admit that brothers and sisters we should acknowledge the fact that this

[10:17]is not a good behavior this is a syndrome that needs to

[10:21]be treated for example let me give you some numbers for alcohol

[10:24]related crimes here it says that alcohol accounts for 40 percent of

[10:33]the crimes those are crimes that happen and end up in jails

[10:38]and prisons 40 percent of them are related to alcohol abuse here

[10:44]are some numbers again 37 percent of those offenders who ended up

[10:52]in jail in a prison they report that they were under the

[10:56]influence of alcohol when they had been arrested meaning in the crime

[11:04]scene 37 percent of those offenders were intoxicated they have been under

[11:09]the influence of alcohol it says that alcohol found in association with

[11:17]a big array of violent crimes assaults murder rape spousal abuse child

[11:25]abuse any kind of abuse the first factor the first agent is

[11:32]alcohol alcohol abuse and it says that 50 of the homicides first

[11:40]50 percent of the murders that takes place that take place is

[11:47]somehow related to alcohol abuse whether the victim or the offender one

[11:53]of them or both of them were under the influence [Music] so

[12:07]show that those people were under the influence of alcohol that you

[12:16]know crime happened a growing body of evidence and third research shows

[12:23]that addiction number one plays a major role in our health detrimental

[12:29]to our behavior a destructive behavior second to the structure of brain

[12:37]that i will subsequently will talk about and of course it causes

[12:42]financial loss loss of a freedom and safety of the community end

[12:49]up in jail many people end up killed murdered and of course

[12:55]our health we lose our health on all those fronts this is

[13:03]what drug alcohol and any addictive behavior again i repeat and i

[13:09]want to emphasize on that any addictive behavior will end up in

[13:13]these three categories i remember back in 1993 i was college student

[13:19]one of our classmates was gone missing for a while maybe one

[13:25]or two weeks when he returned and we had no idea where

[13:32]he was of course first in front of everybody he claimed that

[13:34]he was on a travel but then you know he approached me

[13:40]and told me do you know why i wasn't you know in

[13:41]the class i said no he said because my brother is a

[13:44]co is a drug dealer and he was fugitive and he has

[13:51]committed a crime against another member a member of another gang so

[13:55]they were searching for him and my life was endangered because i

[13:58]associate myself with him so i was in hiding for two weeks

[14:03]until he was left or he was arrested probably then i felt

[14:08]safe to came out again so these are some of the problems

[14:13]that you know we face with the drug addiction again let me

[14:19]repeat this so everybody can hear financial problem you lose your own

[14:22]money the hard earned money that you fight for and you struggle

[14:28]for and you earn it whether through your job or through stipend

[14:32]or through scholarship or your father pays you lose that your health

[14:38]which is more important than the money you lose it and of

[14:44]course the freedom the freedom and the safety of the society is

[14:51]jeopardized now the question why people become addicted for what reason they

[14:56]use these drugs or these addictive behavior there are a few answers

[15:03]first one it tells you first of all addiction can hit any

[15:12]group can hunt any person it is not only the young but

[15:16]unfortunately the teens the young adults are the majority of the victims

[15:20]of the drug use the the drug abuse because of their influence

[15:27]in the you know market economy and workforce you see when a

[15:35]teenager a young adult in his early age get caught in a

[15:43]prison in fact he ruined his future no more a future will

[15:46]you end up in the prison when you end up in jail

[15:48]what the future is waiting for you you know nobody is gonna

[15:54]allow you to go to college no one is gonna give you

[15:57]you know a job after one no one is gonna give you

[16:00]a spouse wife or so so you will end up you know

[16:04]having nothing you know just to to break the silence and and

[16:09]the ice there is a a joke they say a man a

[16:15]young man went for a proposal to propose for a young woman

[16:20]and of course his mom was with him and they went to

[16:27]their home to propose and this guy was chewing gum of course

[16:33]in our islamic arabic tradition it is bad you know when a

[16:38]groom-to-be person goes to the family of the bride-to-be and chewing gum

[16:43]it looks very indecent and ugly so the father of the bride

[16:50]told him you're chewing gum he said yes alhamdulillah because i quit

[16:53]smoking.

[16:55]he said you were smoking he said yes because i was drug

[17:05]addict so i quit drug and i started smoking he said you

[17:08]were a drug addict he said yes because in jail everybody you

[17:13]know uses drug he said you were in jail he said yes

[17:18]because i murdered somebody you killed someone yes why did you kill

[17:26]someone so because i went to propose for a daughter and he

[17:29]refused so i killed him so although it seems funny but believe

[17:38]me brothers and sisters in this competitive world today it is very

[17:43]difficult with a minor tiny offense that you make you can get

[17:49]away with it your credit to score you know your home loan

[17:52]it's miserable you know you're gonna make your life miserable so the

[17:58]reason that people they say the reason that people become addicts number

[18:05]one is to feel cool when you tell a youngest why do

[18:10]you you know smoke hookah why why do you gamble why you're

[18:17]on drug addiction what comes to their mind pleasure we want to

[18:23]feel good we want to have fun but not knowingly that this

[18:27]fund is going to get them into trouble so the first answer

[18:33]that they give is they have fun the second is due to

[18:40]peer pressure when i see my classmate is a smoking marijuana and

[18:46]my neighbor is smoking marijuana and my cousin is smoking marijuana so

[18:53]i might as well smoke marijuana why because i see everybody is

[18:58]doing it and everybody is okay with it this abusive behavior this

[19:05]obscene behavior has become normal you see brothers and sisters one of

[19:11]the reasons that islam you know forbid and emphasize on not to

[19:15]make sins it's not for the sake of the sin itself islam

[19:21]thinks of the entire community when someone makes a sin in front

[19:26]of everybody that will allow others to do the same thing therefore

[19:30]that sin becomes normal islam wants to stop it from the beginning

[19:36]peer pressure plays a major role in a drug addiction and drug

[19:43]abuse in any sort of addiction so this is the second reason

[19:49]people become addicted and third one they use it as a coping

[19:56]strategy to release stress and a pressure maybe at school maybe at

[20:03]home maybe in the market maybe they have lost somebody loved one

[20:08]they have you know a family that is disintegrated divorced in a

[20:17]family they may have lost someone in the family because they feel

[20:20]the pressure the stress therefore they go toward you know addiction now

[20:28]here's the problem when someone has a weak open strategy doesn't know

[20:32]what to do in time of suffering is disoriented and there is

[20:39]no guidance there is no elder to show him the road to

[20:43]coach him to teach him this person doesn't develop strong coping strategies

[20:49]when you couple that with the drug abuse the addiction becomes inevitable

[20:58]definitely you know they become addicted in addition to that the brain

[21:07]chemistry brain chemistry also plays a major role some people do that

[21:14]behavior or that substance for once and then they leave it and

[21:18]they never come back to it but there are people who are

[21:23]hunted by that behavior or by that drug and become over time

[21:26]they become addicted why because of brain chemistry poor coping strategy lack

[21:32]of guidance and awareness will end up in addiction i will talk

[21:39]about it after your big and loud you see what happens the

[21:49]mechanism of addiction what does it happen this happens in the brain

[21:53]this part of the brain is called the frontal lobe brain subhanallah

[21:59]this is the way that the almighty has designed a human and

[22:05]living things all together is it through a reward system in the

[22:09]brain reward system is essential for our essential activities life essential activities

[22:19]like eating sexual relationship social interaction these are vitals to the survival

[22:27]to the survival of a human being the brain is coached in

[22:36]this way that it has a reward system whenever we feel hungry

[22:40]the brain sends a message that reach out to food go eat

[22:46]when you eat food you feel good you've been rewarded so in

[22:54]a healthy person this reward system helps help us to continue our

[23:02]life activities in a very healthy manner when i am hungry i

[23:06]reach food i eat food once i am fed up it is

[23:12]stops it sends a message to the brain tells them khalas stop

[23:19]it in other words it makes the eating process a pleasurable we

[23:24]enjoy eating especially enjoying a far after 16 and 17 hours of

[23:30]fasting around 8 30 p.m everybody's sitting around the table and they

[23:35]eat happily you see smiles jokes wonderful words and so forth why

[23:41]because it's a pleasurable experience and memorable experience this is not only

[23:50]psychological it's also physiological because the brain send message to the body

[23:54]that you need to eat but a healthy person once he's fed

[24:00]the brain sends a message stop of course there are people who

[24:08]will munch and crunch and munch and crunch we're not talking about

[24:12]them we're talking about the healthy people once you feel fed up

[24:15]you stop now what does addiction do addiction hijack this system and

[24:24]instead of going for the essential activities as i said like the

[24:31]food it directs this reward system toward the drugs feeling for the

[24:40]drugs mainstreaming everything and streamlining everything in ex instead of going for

[24:45]example to healthy food we direct our attention and our preoccupation toward

[24:53]drugs let me let me give you can i give you a

[24:54]little details about the physiology or no with your big and loud

[25:00]salawat i will do otherwise i will not the brain consists of

[25:10]billions of nerve cells are called neurons these neurons talk to each

[25:19]other through chemical message this chemical message is called a neurotransmitter so

[25:26]one neuron which is almost getting close to the another neuron there

[25:31]is a cavity there is a gap between those two which is

[25:37]called synaptic lift in the synaptic cliff a chemical message takes a

[25:44]place sending the message from this neuron to this neuron this neurotransmitter

[25:49]of course for everything there is a specific neuron neurotransmitter but for

[25:55]the reward system there is a neurotransmitter is called dopamine or dopamine

[26:00]depending on how you pronounce it this the cells will release this

[26:10]dopamine that occupies this area the synaptic lift between the neurons and

[26:16]tell them that hey go for food eat enjoy your time the

[26:21]time of a pleasure starts as you eat you enjoy yourself people

[26:27]who smoke again this dopamine causes them to enjoy themselves when i'm

[26:34]anxiously waiting for a whatsapp message and all of a sudden i

[26:38]see the light went up the dopamine tells me okay it's time

[26:41]for a pleasure enjoy it after the event is done my stomach

[26:49]is filled again that's the message is gone to this transmitter neurotransmitter

[26:54]it's all been carried away sequestered taken back to their original place

[27:02]therefore you stop eating the drugs once the neurotransmitter is released stop

[27:09]it from getting back therefore causing euphoria you know this enjoyment and

[27:16]pleasure long stay longer and longer but as it stays longer and

[27:24]longer our body sensitivity becomes less and less so today if i

[27:28]take one gram of a drug tomorrow i need two grams and

[27:32]after tomorrow i need three grams and so forth until i become

[27:40]overdose and eventually i end up where in the cemetery death this

[27:44]is that they talk about 166 thousands of all deaths of overuse

[27:51]is because of this when they are talking about 585 000 people

[27:57]who are dead prematurely because of this because they don't pay attention

[28:03]that the more a drug they take the worse off they become

[28:08]they will never get out of this trouble they always will be

[28:13]you know into this problem they are not released from this problem

[28:28]how can we tell a person is addicted or not we the

[28:35]family members the community members the relatives have responsibility moral responsibility toward

[28:43]those individuals those individuals you know they're gone you cannot they cannot

[28:49]behave well it is our duty to save them so number one

[28:55]we need to see an indication because the drug addict or addict

[29:02]of any behavior first of all they are in denial when you

[29:06]tell them that you are addicted they say no not addicted you

[29:10]tell them your lung has suffered because of the hookah that you're

[29:14]smoking every day because of the cigarette that you three packs per

[29:21]day this is killing you look at your lung they say no

[29:23]i am coughing not because of my lung because i have ulcer

[29:28]they always you know blame other things blame others for their own

[29:33]you know misfortune so they don't admit it number one they are

[29:39]in denial anyone that you see is in denial should alarm you

[29:43]second out of control they have obsessive behavior compulsive behavior not only

[29:53]that they streamline all streamline all their activities all their money their

[29:59]wealth they sell their belongings in order to suffice their desire and

[30:04]their need so this is number two when they when you see

[30:12]them in denial obsessive and compulsive pursuit of that thing and second

[30:17]when you see that they have a poor outcome if he is

[30:23]student in college and you see that their grades went down last

[30:26]year they were a student they were on the president's honor list

[30:31]this semester their degrees are c's and d's and b's what does

[30:37]that tell you that their performance have weakened they could be employees

[30:43]their productivity have been weakened their social relationship their connection with other

[30:49]with others have been relating you know have been reduced if you

[30:52]have a member in your community in your gathering you used to

[30:57]gather every week let's say and you had somebody who's active with

[31:00]you and all of us and then disappears that should be alarming

[31:03]so when they start to act poorly a poor result that it's

[31:13]again it means that there is a problem with their you know

[31:17]with their behavior therefore you know that there is an addiction so

[31:20]those are the you know three things or two things denial poor

[31:28]result and obsessive and compulsive behavior that should tell you that the

[31:33]person is addicted now as i said the damage that has happened

[31:38]to the body and to the brain beyond repair maybe they stop

[31:43]maybe a smoker quits the smoking but after two years or three

[31:50]years he will end up having lung cancer the drug abuser maybe

[31:55]stops but after two or three years they find that you know

[31:59]he has a tumor in the brain studies have shown that the

[32:04]brain structure malfunctions and then there is a difference between a healthy

[32:09]structure and between a structure a brain structure that have been you

[32:16]know abused by addiction and by a drug this has been studied

[32:18]this has been a clear to everyone this frontal lobe that i

[32:24]was talking about affects judgment affect learning affect memory you see when

[32:34]islam combats alcohol and combats drugs for a very good reason because

[32:39]human are what let's define a human humans 99 of our activity

[32:49]is animalistic we eat the rest of animals eat we drink the

[32:53]rest of animal you know drink we have physical pleasure they also

[32:58]have the only thing is through thinking i am different from the

[33:05]rest of the animal kingdom is because i am thinking i have

[33:08]a will and i have a thought now when these are gone

[33:13]what's the difference between myself and the rest of the members of

[33:20]the animal kingdom we're all the same so that's why you see

[33:26]islam emphasize on those you know important aspect to stop to treat

[33:30]stop and combat this kind of behavior and this kind of substance

[33:34]what are the remedies we talked about the impact the mechanism and

[33:39]in the last segments how should we cure those in the last

[33:45]you know minutes that are remaining well the first one is medical

[33:55]medical treatment rehabilitation it is everywhere and i am not a medical

[34:04]doctor therefore we're not gonna you know dwell into the medical aspect

[34:08]of it there is none medical treatment as well of course this

[34:12]is approach dependent each society each community each nation they have their

[34:19]own method but all scholars and scientists tell you the first thing

[34:22]talk with the victim especially those at a younger age people who

[34:30]have not tried it yet they are suffering from depression they are

[34:36]suffering from isolation they are suffering from not having parents who look

[34:44]after them they are in the wilderness the wilderness doesn't mean that

[34:50]in the desert meaning at home and in school but no supervision

[34:53]no guidance no support the first thing you can do is to

[34:59]talk to the victim the more you talk to them the more

[35:03]you bring them in the more they feel assimilated with the rest

[35:07]of the community the less they become a prone toward you know

[35:12]drugs toward addiction so the first thing is talking dialogue open a

[35:20]day a lot my duty as a father on the dinner table

[35:23]on lunch table is that i open the discussion with my children

[35:28]with my son with my daughter what did you do today what's

[35:32]your future plan do you have any trouble is anything bothering you

[35:38]as a duty we should find out everyone should find out if

[35:44]you're an elder brother you should have this conversation with your youngest

[35:48]servers these are the common sense thing that you know we should

[35:54]emphasize on then of course there are communities websites that have dedicated

[36:03]themselves toward helping those people who are addicted to certain behavior or

[36:10]certain drug to get out of it there is a famous website

[36:12]is called no fap no fap this is a secular website they

[36:21]claim that we are secular we're not affiliated with any religion but

[36:26]we are trying to help the porn victims the porn addicted victims

[36:30]whoever wants to get out of it please visit us we will

[36:37]teach them through guidance through education through self-discipline we will manage to

[36:46]succeed and get this person out of his misery of course they

[36:53]don't believe or they don't talk about the religious aspect of it

[36:56]and they say our method the self-discipline the teaching is much better

[37:03]than the government regulations and religious regulations so that's again another method

[37:09]for treatment and control and lastly the religious method you see brothers

[37:17]and sisters again surveys and statistics have shown those who are religious

[37:24]those who have claimed that they are religious they are less prone

[37:30]to drug addiction to alcohol addiction to sex addiction to usury to

[37:34]to um gambling and to all kind of addictive behavior this is

[37:40]one beauty of religion religion whether good or bad at least it

[37:44]shows discipline it teaches discipline so the religious community is considered more

[37:52]protective more immune toward this behavior than non-religious community now whatever we

[38:03]had said about the discipline about education about a training talking to

[38:08]people are excellent but this is only one hand brothers and sisters

[38:12]you need to have the other hand you know we say that

[38:17]one hand cannot a clap but when you have two they can

[38:21]work together no matter how strong is this hand how talented you

[38:24]are one hand is not sufficient in a country that have absolute

[38:30]freedom the website are all open to those obscene website the internet

[38:35]is open to these obscene websites marijuana is legalized arms are available

[38:44]people once they reach 18 nobody can tell them where did you

[38:50]go with whom did you spend your time what time you come

[38:52]back home nothing out of control in a society that is you

[38:58]know marked with capitalism with expenditure expenditure just spend and spend and

[39:05]spend of course you cannot combat such kind of behavior and such

[39:09]kind of you know substance you need first of all to outlaw

[39:14]them from the beginning remember the ayah that i recited at the

[39:18]beginning allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about of course means intoxicating agent

[39:22]doesn't have to be wine any intoxicating agent you see islam in

[39:40]pursuit of two tears on two tracks to those beginners at the

[39:46]beginning until you stop there is no room for experimentation you cannot

[39:55]feel cool you should not feel good about it no pleasure stop

[40:02]it stop it immediately and from its root not only you do

[40:06]not smoke don't even get close to the smoking shop not only

[40:11]take a cooker although okay it's not haram you know and let's

[40:15]let's let's be uh you know here uh informal and formal hookah

[40:20]is not harambe addictive so anything that is haram and addictive islam

[40:25]tell you from beginning do not approach it in islam the prophet

[40:33]peace be upon him let me recite this hadith for you it

[40:37]says rasulullah who are those the prophet says god will curses the

[40:51]intoxicating agent the wine someone who drinks it someone who pours you

[40:58]know the bartenders you know the bartender this is number three the

[41:05]one who sell it someone who buy it someone who go and

[41:13]collect those grapes too you know to squeeze it and make it

[41:15]juice and the recipient from the delivery also if you deliver it

[41:24]you know allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is cursing you the person who

[41:31]is at home is waiting for the beer to be you know

[41:35]arriving at his home there are people who tell you i don't

[41:40]drink it i don't even get near to it but what can

[41:43]i do i have the am pm shop and they have to

[41:46]sell you know we have to sell looker islam says no you

[41:51]cannot sell alcohol you cannot sell those intoxicating agents these with this

[41:58]money that you're buying you are buying the hellfire this much rasulullah

[42:03]emphasize on that so going back to my words so any means

[42:09]should be eliminated do not approach any road that will get you

[42:13]into that sin you see in the holy quran is very concise

[42:20]it says doesn't say do not commit adultery it says do not

[42:27]approach adultery meaning from step number one don't get yourself into that

[42:34]dangerous road why because when you take the first step and then

[42:38]second step and third step you became you know close to the

[42:42]brink of the cliff somebody is so close to the brink of

[42:47]the cliff you cannot tell him oh be careful you're going to

[42:50]fall out no he's going to fall down no question therefore islam

[42:55]stops it from the very beginning do not take this road anything

[43:00]that gets you to addiction drug addiction or alcohol addiction anything that

[43:07]gets you to adultery anything that gets you to gambling do not

[43:11]think of it why because it's uncontrollable you cannot control yourself the

[43:19]minute you start all of a sudden you see that you have

[43:22]been you know locked down cannot cannot get out of it anymore

[43:27]so this is the first year second look at how allah subhanahu

[43:34]wa ta'ala prosecred alcohol in stages you see at first stage first

[43:41]of all arabs used to drink intoxicating wines in in a supreme

[43:48]manner everybody rampant everywhere so some muslims saw the effect of this

[43:56]on their you know on their spirituality on their physical bodies they

[43:59]asked the prophet salaam alaikum he asked the prophet about alcohol the

[44:06]ayah came it says there are good things and there are bad

[44:20]things but the bad things are more than the good things therefore

[44:25]it is advised to stop many muslims stopped drinking then one day

[44:33]an imam of jamaa who was leading the prayers while he was

[44:41]intoxicated he recited the surah in the holy quran in the prayers

[44:44]mistakenly well this is a tantamount to blasphemy when you do not

[44:50]recite the surah consciously by mistake this is considered to be blasphemy

[44:57]so they went to the prophets and the prophet said wait until

[45:02]allah gives me the order the ayah came as long as you

[45:12]are under the influence of alcohol stop it you cannot therefore many

[45:18]people stopped drinking or postponed their drinking after salat elisha you know

[45:24]for the late night parties and late shows they would a drink

[45:29]until one day in a party two tribes one a tribesman who

[45:38]was a poet he started to cross corn and you know bash

[45:44]the other tribe the other tribes attacked him and there there was

[45:49]a commotion then a fight between them and then few people got

[45:52]killed so they went to the prophet peace be upon him with

[45:56]the message allah gave him in that said this is stage wise

[46:08]could have forbidden you know this intoxicating agent from the beginning but

[46:14]gave it and stage wise why because he knows the human nature

[46:19]someone who is addicted you cannot take it away right away from

[46:25]him rather this rehabilitation this gradual healing is essential plays a role

[46:31]in fixing this person my take home message brothers and sisters here

[46:38]that we live in this state you see certain communities are afflicted

[46:44]with addiction african american communities the native american communities you know the

[46:51]indian community the indian american indian communities when you go to the

[46:55]their reservation camps you see they are afflicted with this why don't

[47:02]you sing don't you think that there is an agenda toward them

[47:05]this type of community needs to be always addicted we should be

[47:13]aware brothers and sisters here again i am repeating myself we are

[47:15]a minority in this country there are always agendas of course they

[47:22]don't come in the daylight and tell us that we want to

[47:28]hurt you how do they hurt us through our sons and our

[47:34]daughters through gradual addiction to this everybody should stay alert and be

[47:40]careful my son is your son your son is my son we

[47:44]are living in one as a one family in this country we

[47:49]should be very aware and alert anything that happens to a member

[47:54]of the community community and affect that person as if has affected

[47:59]the entire community foreign [Music] you
