im a new revert alhamdelillah. i used to play video games a lot, listen to music, smoke weed..... let me tell you it might feel good in the moment but at the end of the day, you feel empty and you feel depressed. I love this lecture because he hits everything spot on. When I have children insh a Allah i won't allow tv/violent games, However it is very important as Muslims to have good fun safe alternatives, otherwise the kids will end up going to all of this bad stuff.

Brother I will give you a remedy. Find your favourite reciter of Quran (mine is Minshawi in maqaam Nahawand). Listen to the recitation, find those portions (may take a few weeks) which impact and move the heart. Next stage listen to these portions, repeated over and over again, hours a day, till the tears start streaming. This will undo the damage that music had done to the heart, and soon, insha Allah, after a year or two the heart will no longer desire music. This is a treatment I came upon by accidentally and I no longer listen to music with intent for a decade now. The Quran is a cure.

I’m listening only to Qur’an and khutbas like this I DON’T watch any TV nor movies for the last 10 years and I feel better than before

I am 26 now and have learned to be more wary of these things. InshAllah, I hope Allah allows all the young muslims like me who got trapped by music, movies, gaming, etc. to see it for what it is -- just another distraction to keep us from our true goal to worship Allah.

At first, I wondered WHY Allah SWT let me wander SO far into the dark before calling me back to His service. Why I lived with sorrow in my heart for so many years. I had wished I never knew these things. But I have come to understand. As quickly as others are running away from their fitra...I am running towards mine. I appreciate with my whole heart the love and light Allah SWT showed me when He answered my call that filled that hole in my heart and now want to fill it more each day. My sincerest thanks for your tireless efforts to warn the ummah of what we're up against. JazakAllah khayran to ALL who strive in the way of Islam!

The problem with TV and social media etc. is that it is so time consuming and a total distraction from reaching a spiritual state. From reaching a closeness to Allah. People don’t sit and just ponder anymore. People don’t wonder anymore. Just by observing people who watch TV or on their phones one can easily see how distracted they are. They won’t even here you, when you call them. The ”black box” pulls you in and it literally grabs and holds you like a devil. What happened to our society is a shame. We’re loosing every aspect that makes us human. Humans are not supposed to be antisocial beings who are on their phones all day. Doing nothing but staring on a black screen. Becoming nothing in life...

Absolutely amazing, salaam sir hamzah

Thank you for bringing out the 'malady of relativity'. If we don't have a spine of steel formed by High Principles, which hold us Up and Straight, we are bound to deviate. High Principles NEVER CHANGE with 'modern views, etc. Like 'Do not do unto others, what you wouldn't like others to do unto you.' It is clear, it is eternal, if one practice just that commandment Jesus gave us, you will never wrong anyone and your life will have the quality only a pure heart aligned to God's ways can give us. We just have to adhere to High Values and Principles given to us by God, not make up our own relative, or adapt to 'whatever everybody is doing'. Thank you again. I am an Epichristian, which means Above What is now known as 'Christianity, which Allah warns you against saying, 'Do not befriend, those Christians, and dJews who befriend each other/. What is called 'Christian' in our days, it hurts me to say it, but has nothing to do with Christendom as taught by Jesus. The Vatican has been invaded by demons and is now - as Vladimir Putin publicly said - under the control of a very dangerous man who is taking advantage of his position to establish a global system of Communism. Thank God Putin dares to go beyond politics and speak the Truth. You have the Koran, which has never changed. That is a magnificent record and I feel part of the strength that holds a true Moslem up right. I descend from someone that had a strong respect for the Principles that hold Islam strong. He and Saladin were respectful of each other, although each one found himself holding war against each other., Saladin gave him a name for which he was known afterwards, it is Saladin who called him 'El Cid' name for which he was later known. I enjoy very much the intelligence of your teachings and welcome the fact that they are available to all of us, Thank you again. I stay in Peace and wish you the best for helping people to be aware that their consiousness is in great danger.

This is a very important point, every Muslim recites and is required to recite these words before reading the Holy Quran, "auzubillah minash shaitan e rajeem" meaning "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan". Non Muslims dont know this and dont recite it, and then read parts of the Quran and get deceived and deviated from the message in the Quran and start misquoting.

Bright Star that’s exactly what’s happening to them

Shaykh is right, I was playing a lot of games as a child, and it really hurt me in the long run. I mis-prioritized and self-sabotaged my life carelessly. I enjoy games, but I realize there is a lot of life to miss out on, and I'm a lot happier, I'm reading, exercising, studying. I do think that there is something deeply problematic about the materialism, violence, sexually explicit overtones. I also think it is possible to craft good games and experiences, I like Nintendo, and some of the more kid friendly stuff, but I'm old now, I'm not a kid, I just don't have the time. I was never interested in the GTA or FPS shooters to begin with. I only recently in the last few years managed to shake myself out of it, and I'm really reluctant to pick up something new, for fear of getting sucked back into it.

I also think that video games can be highly artistic, and the discourse around video games is very black and white; Either it's benign, or it's the spawn of the devil, nothing in between. I don't think video games are responsible for/cause violence. I simply think they are an outlet for aggressive tendencies, possibly destructive ones, and that the discourse surrounding video-games is quite divisive, and it doesn't need to be. People are violent, and art reflects people. The types of games are broad and far reaching, there are puzzle games, action, adventure, role-playing games, tactical, board games, real time strategy, fighting, platforming, shooter, point and click, card games, arcade, 3rd Person, Indie. While it's true that FPS games are the most popular genre right now, the beauty about creating simulations is we can dream something better, and we should. I deeply respect/love Shaykh HY, but I also think that there is a lot of potential for VGs. Skepticism is good, I don't think it's so clear cut to paint with broad brush strokes.

@@nasirmeraj618 yes you can increase knowledge by hard work and discipline, but not everyone will be einstein, im good at sports naturally gifted in physical things, i know my strengths. You seem like u went straight to "judge mode" for what i said instead of continuing on the main topic of video games, im not looking for sympathy or encouragement, was speaking my mind.

Assalamu alaykom wa rahma'tullah, I can see the relation, however, Hannah is the name of the mother of Maryam [as], so we have to be careful and not go too far. Jazaka Allahu khayran wa barak Allahu feeke.

He was saying that people that worship the devil like to read back wards, and in this case her name was hannah which wasn't her real. But also I'm a Muslim and my daughters name is hannah but we didn't use it for that purpose.

Assalamu Alaykum Thank you very much for such video

Sheikh Hamza greatest love respect for you since you are delivering and exuding greatest love for our prophet saw. What u say captures my soul

The level of the trials are too great we need guidance from Ruh, The Spirit of God. If we try ourselves with just our brain and our knowledge we're going to be bewildered, some will have mental disorder

kudo you do not realize because you are BRAINWASH there is no afterlife there is no evidence. And there is nothing wrong with music or freedom freedom does not mean that people have to misbehave.And if there is a god I have nothing to prove I am a good person do no harm to anyone.But to think all the time, God would be happy with how I live is terrible And Muslims are so scared that they will go to hell, that is absurd.

Really this lecture shakedown my soul..

The moment I started remembering my dreams the morning after I realized all the junk my mind was being fed, most of it even passively just passing by TVs, random jingles, ads, and images. Some of the dreams are so sick and frightening, it’s scary to imagine it’s coming out your own subconscious. I had this disgusting dream that a yellow cat with no arms and legs was going door to door to seek shelter and I kept closing each door and saying no to it every time it was such a sick dream full of ugly sights of dismemberment and disgust I have no idea how I can even have dreams like that. I definitely have less dreams like that once you pay more attention, seek protection, and limit yourself to content like this. But it’s hard work! Definitely.

Mashallah really nice speech

The white Dot at 13:09 our beloved sheikh is talking about my Elder brother described it to me when i was very young similar to the sign of peace the Chinese have, my brother said the dot is good or bad and is whatever you feed it when either consumes your heart your either enlightened by Allah swt or become Evil in sin.. May Allah reward my brother in his efforts he made and grant him jannah Insha allah and bless our sheikh Insha allah for making it clear for me today Ameen 🙏

58:00 he predicted zayn malik🤭

Subhan Allah may Allah give him the heighest station in Janna. His interpretation and analysis is so deep it takes your brains to places that you would never ever go there...he takes you places Subhan Allah he is Lord's gift to us..Alhamdulliah
