Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the method for a person to protect himself in this time, and what is the correct upbringing in the presence of trials and evils?
Answer:
You, praise be to Allah, in this institute and in the other scientific institutes and the faculties of Shari'ah and the principles of religion, you, praise be to Allah, are in a place for which you should be grateful, because you have prepared yourselves as soldiers for the creed, as soldiers for the support of this religion, and as bearers of this blessed knowledge to benefit people with it. So you, praise be to Allah, are preparing yourselves to benefit yourselves and to benefit others. So continue in that.
And you must follow the Book and the Sunnah, and you must ask the people of knowledge about what is difficult for you, and you must avoid rumors and listening to the channels that spread evil and doubts. Avoid them and do not have them in your homes. Put the Noble Qur'an radio in your homes. And put in your homes the distribution of what is published of valuable lectures and words and beneficial sermons so that you may benefit from them and benefit your children and your household. Buy them and listen to them.
Those in your homes benefit from them, so connect them to them. Purify your homes from the stations that contain evil, that contain trials, that contain a call to falsehood. They want to release your hands from your religion, so beware of them and do not turn to them and do not say, "I know and I will respond to them." You cannot enter your thought into these matters. And perhaps because of the style, it can be in an attractive and deceptive style. Leave it and stay away from it. May Allah suffice you with the truth. So why do you go with the other channels? Yes.
