I am a committed young man, and all praise is due to Allah, but I have been afflicted with a trial: my brothers brought a satellite dish to our rest house in the farm.

The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : I am a committed young man, and all praise is due to Allah, but I have been afflicted with a trial: my brothers brought a satellite dish to our rest house in the farm, where we used to gather as a family. I advised them and warned them of Allah, but they did not heed me. Then I cut off my participation in the gatherings. After a while, Satan came to me and said, “Why don’t you look at this device? If it is true, accept it, and if it is false, reject it.” Then he kept whispering to me until I fell into this calamity. I started watching it, and my family does not know about it to this day. In fact, I advise them and warn them against it in front of them, but in seclusion, I go and turn it on without their knowledge. I am now on the edge of a cliff that is about to collapse. What is the solution to this calamity? May Allah protect you from it? I ask for your prayers, perhaps Allah will answer your supplication.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to protect us, him, and our Muslim brothers from this calamity.
The reality is that Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood, and he gradually leads him step by step until he reaches the ultimate goal of disbelief, may Allah protect us from that. For this reason, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: “Sins are the post of disbelief”. Do you know what the post of disbelief means? It means that Satan transports him from one stage to another until he reaches the ultimate goal. In the past, people sent their messages via the post. The post consisted of horses that people would ride, traveling, for example, ten kilometers or more to a station. Then these horses would stop, and other horses would be waiting at the station to carry them to the second, third, and fourth stations until they reached the city. So, in reality, sins are the post of disbelief; Satan carries the person through them stage by stage until he achieves his goal. May Allah protect us and you from that.
My advice to the brotherThe questioner : is that he should have determination, be resolute, and stay away from this. If his soul urges him to go to it, let him turn away to something else, such as going home, to the mosque, or to the company of good people, while seeking help from Allah and supplicating to Allah the Exalted. I ask Allah to turn me, him, and you away from all evil, and to turn all evil away from us. Yes.
