I need to see you soon
because I've been away from you too long.
We'll go ice skating next time.
Of course, and we'll get ice cream, too.
Obviously,
I know what your favorite flavor is, so
I can't wait.
I can't wait to see you again.
I love you, too.
You know I love you.
And I miss you, too.
When am I going to see you?
*Coughs*
Ummm... I've got to go.
I've got to go. I'll talk to you later.
You're really smooth, Jamal.
Really smooth.
*Intro Vocal Music*
Sir it was ahh...
I was just talking to my sister.
My sister.
Your sister?
Yeah.
Can we have a talk?
Yeah, of course.
Look, sir, I.
I swear we weren't doing anything Haram.
We were just talking.
What were you talking about?
Ahh...
What time to wake up for Fajr?
How to make the most out of Ramadan?
No.
Look, I know what you're saying.
You don't think you're doing anything Haram, and it doesn't feel like that, too.
If you're just only talking. Right.
But when Allah (swt) speaks
about the act that is Haram between a man and a woman.
Do you know what He says?
Allah (swt) He says, ولا تَقْرَبُوا,
Don't even come near it.
Don't take any steps towards it.
This means your flirting, your texting,
your phone calls, your chit chat,
Your “I love you”.
It's actually very dangerous.
Do her parents know?
No.
You planning on telling them?
No, I'm not.
We're not ready for that.
But I love her,
and we really, really care about each other.
If you love this girl, you wouldn't be treating her like this.
You'll be upholding her honor,
upholding her dignity, protecting her from ever becoming vulnerable.
And what you're doing now is putting her at risk.
Okay, Sir. You're...
You're right. It's Haram, but it's.
It's still so hard.
I don't know what to do.
Well Jamal, you've got three options.
Really.
Your first option is to continue this course.
Continue this secret relationship of yours.
Make her more vulnerable.
And allow the Shaytan to tighten his grip on the both of you.
Or your second option is to man up
and prepare yourself to marry this girl.
Speak to her parents.
Let them know that you're ready,
you're prepared, and you're willing to marry this girl.
But for that, that needs work.
Needs a bit of money, too, and needs you to be prepared.
And I don't know if you're ready for that decision
or thirdly, and perhaps
the most difficult of all options on you right now
is to make the decision
to end this relationship, to protect her, to uphold her
dignity, to uphold her honor, and to protect yourself as well.
Yes, it's going to be hard yes, it's going to be difficult.
But, Jamal,
it's a decision that will be blessed by Allah (swt).
Because whatever you give up for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it.
And He will reward you immensely because Allah knows the struggle
you have to go through to make such a decision.
The Prophet ﷺ he says,
of the seven people to be shaded under the shade of Allah on the day
of Judgment is a man who walks away from a beautiful woman because he fears Allah.
Yusuf (a.s) We know he was great
because when he was approached by a beautiful woman as a young boy,
he said, مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ (Allah is my refuge) and he ran away from it.
And you too can follow in those same footsteps of the Prophets
and gain the pleasure of Allah.
I'm not going to tell you what to do, Jamal,
but the decision is yours.
Allah reward you and Allah give you strength.
I've got to get back to work.
Thank you for the talk Sir.
You got this. You got this.
