00:00One of the meanings of the word shaytaan shata is halaka wa ihtaraq, which means he got

00:16set on fire. Literally to be set on fire, it's used as a figure of speech in Arabic

00:20for losing one's temper. So you justify your misbehavior by losing your temper and storming

00:26out of a conversation. And then you still do what you do. So your mom says, stop playing

00:30video games. Forget it! And you just walk away. And now your mother's like, beta, don't

00:37be so angry. It's okay. Come back. Come back. No, mom! You're always interrupting my very

00:42important purpose in life. Or is it half-life? I don't know what the game is called. You

00:53hide, you justify your misbehavior by just acting all tough. So nobody can correct you.

01:01Anybody tries to give you advice, you're like, hey! Alright, whatever. Whatever. I'm not

01:07coming back. I don't need this. This is shaytaan. That's shaytaan. When you're incapable of

01:14taking advice, incapable of being corrected, you just get flared up. You just get flared

01:20up. I gave khutbah yesterday. I was really happy with myself. I gave khutbah and usually

01:25my khutbahs don't make any sense. Yesterday, it made sense, I thought. It made sense. You

01:30know? So I was like, okay, alhamdulillah, this one went well. Uncle comes up to me and

01:33says, your khutbah made no sense at all. It had no content. I did not understand anything

01:38you were saying. It was completely impractical. It was terrible. You have an obligation to

01:42speak clearly in front of the youth. You did not connect with the youth at all. I thought

01:46your khutbah was terrible. And I listened to that and I said, okay, do you have any

01:51suggestions? And he said, yeah, I have lots of suggestions. And my family was waiting

01:55downstairs. They're in the car, kids getting cranky and all that. I sat with the uncle

01:59for 30 minutes and he gave me suggestions and I wrote them. I literally wrote them.

02:03I put them in my phone and I kind of want to save them and I have them. And I disagree

02:07with some of them. But I agree with some of them. You have to learn to take criticism.

02:12It's okay. I did not say, excuse me, are you on YouTube?

02:21Guys, don't get heated when somebody corrects you. Chill out. Just accept it. Take it. They're

02:28probably right. Because you're guys.

02:31I pray that we're able to combat the attacks of shaitan and raise ourselves to the point

02:36where we are so good at combating shaitan that the real attack of shaitan happens not

02:41in our personal lives, but when we're carrying the word of Allah, like I mentioned in the

02:44beginning. We have to raise ourselves to that. That wasn't relevant to many of you. When

02:49shaitan comes and you're talking about Allah. Why not? Why don't you raise yourself so you

02:54can talk about Allah and then these ayat, you can live by them. We have to become those

02:58people. May Allah elevate all of us in our status and may Allah take the good of what

03:03is said and forgive the wrong that is said.

03:11May Allah elevate all of us in our status and forgive the wrong that is said and forgive

03:15the wrong that is said.
