#mymostimportantpost
Long but must read Don't learn English this wayMy dear Muslim brothers and sisters, I didn't actually want to open this topic but I can see negative effects of this way of learning among many, including myself back in the days when didn't know about that.
We are not learner. We are Muslims, first of all so we always have to try to follow what Allah says and prevent our hulq (ethics I would say) from the affection of Western mindset, the phrase we usually use to refer to the mindset and culture that contradicts our Islamic values.
Let's go back to the topic. The main reason, in my opinion, why so many people nowadays have problems with eye vision, memory, learning and most importantly barakah is that our eyes and of course not following the obligatory prayers on time. Only two factors, but a great deal of drawback. Fix this two and the rest will go on to the better itself, inshaAllah, I believe.
Prayers is not something I want to get into. You know it better yourself. But how about eyes? What does it have to do with English? That's the question I want to address in the post below.
Make sure you read it carefully. It may trigger a lot of changes in your life.
I have tried to lower my gaze as I knew eyes have tremendous effect on me as a whole. However, it didn't work. I would sometimes be triggered by the pitch by famous scholars, like Nouman Ali Khan, or my ustadh but it would last for about two to three days. What was the problem I would ask?
The root of the issue lied in my phone. Movies, YouTube or any other platform letting me stay in touch with that world. I would stop myself from looking at girls following the tips of scholars, however, I didn't know that I should be doing it for things I watch on my phone. I don't look at girls (opposite gender) in real life but how about online world. This is what kept me from cutting off looking at the other gender completely. Looking at girls has become so typical that we don't even consider it as something wrong. Btw, the same applies for girls checking out boys too, including those Korean Pop idols.
Looking at people of the other gender weakens you, your mind, energy, memory, your spiritual level. It weakens you. It makes you less intelligent. Gradually. Slowly. But it does.
During last Ramadan, I made mind up my mind to tackle the issue. I haven't watched movies since. No YouTube videos by the opposite gender. No Instagram. Nothing. This has helped me a lot. I got better. Everything improved. Most importantly my time has become productive. The time I spent on movies and everything online turned into something as I tried to replace it gradually by good habits. It was very boring at the beginning and hard to give up something I did or got used to since I was born but I kept asking Him to help and kept going. I failed many times but I still went on and now I have another chance to cut off completely. Ramadan. Yeaaaah.
This Ramadan is your chance and my chance to change. Let's change my brothers and sisters together. Let's fight with ourselves. This upcoming one month is a chance for us to prepare for the year. Strengthen your weakness. Stop watching YouTube, Instagram or movies, including cartoons. Believe it is not you going to the stone age. It is you leaving the world built by the Matrix ( idk why used this phrase )
American and Western Cinematography knows that many neglect this factor. Therefore, they use them as a source of mind wash and spread of their culture and propaganda. Save yourself and your deen.
Replace Instagram with Books. YouTube females with males. Movies to learn English with podcasts. You will see the change pretty soon if you hold onto it.
It will be extremely difficult yet so rewarding. Challenge yourself.
Join our community and be the change you want to see in this world.
