The need of the people today [2/2]

Sheikh Zayd Ibn Muhammad al-Madkhalee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,

‘Yet they, may Allaah guide them and us to what is correct, they never get tired or bored of spending many long hours listening to flirtatious songs or watching corrupting soap operas and harmful dramatic television shows which do not bring about any good for anyone, and which the one listening to them does not even gain a single thing of benefit.
In this way the true realities of what should be valued have been reversed with this type of people. They cannot even come close to properly distinguishing between what is beneficial and helpful and that which is actually harmful and damaging, nor between a blessed good sitting companion, and an evil destructive offensive associate. Indeed there is no strength nor power to change except in Allaah.”’
