Assalaam Alaikum everyone.
A very good friend of mine, a brother of mine i should say, made this series about pornography. It is an entirely original work and I recommend you watch it for the sake of educating yourselves and others about this issue that has almost taken the idea of shame and modesty out of our modern vocabulary... and worse... Put many of us directly in the path of fire.
I won't go into details but I will let the series speak for itself. And request that you show others to create more awareness for this remarkable work. Thanking you in advance.
Part 7 (Television Statistics) Pyrrhic Series.
Please subscribe to bro Pyrrhics channel, he will be releasing another groundbreaking series this year insha-Allah. personally, I can't wait to see what he has planned.

I found this in your other thread and am going to watch the whole series in a bit. This is an issue that I myself have struggled with over the years. It is something that has become ingrained in our culture and society and is almost unavoidable.
It very nearly destroyed me, and is something that I am still dealing with.
Yes, particularly what can be called 'soft porn' permeates the Western world with plenty of more serious temptations if one has that inclination.format_quote Originally Posted by Who Am I?

the actually read them gay books,
i homeschool my kids and have gotta put more time in.
Walaykum salaam, the series is definitely worth the watch, I'm just surprised that not many people have actually done so. It's a very serious issue, yet we find ourselves turning a blind eye (pun intended) to it. Well done for watching some of it... let me know what you think when you've finished it.format_quote Originally Posted by Who Am I?

Yes, but that doesn't mean the fitna of masih ud dajjal cannot enter these cities. As bro Abz mentioned above, these visions are prophecy, and as we know, the dreams of the believer are 1/46th of prophecy.format_quote Originally Posted by MustafaMc
But to elaborate further on what I mentioned about the fitna entering the holy cities... there is this hadeeth:
Bukhari book 30 hadeeth 105
Narrated by Anas bin Malik. The Prophet pbuh said "There will be no town in which ad dajjal will not enter except Makkah and Madina. And there will be no entrance (road/entry point into Makkah or Madinah) but the angels will be standing in rows, guarding it against him (ad dajjal), and then Madinah will shake with its inhabitants thrice (three earthquakes) and Allah will expel all the non believers and the hypocrites from it."
Having been fortunate enough to have visited both holy cities on different occasions, I can testify that the fitna is there... and as you can imagine, it's even worse in cities like Jeddah and Riyadh. Makkah, on two occasions I witnessed gay stuff happening, once to a hafiz that I know and was travelling with... Some people just have no shame left. The hafiz is a pious man and very soft hearted and some tour guide with a beard and all, tried it on him BIGTIME. Poor hafiz was left a bit disturbed for a while... true story. So many poor people flock to Makka and Madina and the police kick them down, I mean - literally kick them down with their big boots... If this was the Prophet pbuh's time, that would never have been the case. I could go on and on, but I don't wanna go offtopic too much... however, underneath I do go slightly offtopic again... sorry in advance
I need to ask you about this. Wonder if you can help me. I need some info on good Islamic home-schooling for a child 5 yrs of age. ofcourse, I'd want all the regular subjects too like math English science etc... Any info would be appreciated broformat_quote Originally Posted by Abz2000

Assalamu-alaikum,
JazakAllah for posting this bro Scimi.
I havent been able to watch further than part 1 - as I realise that personally, too much of this type of information is not good for me.
Over the years, I have developed a mindset that almost all men are into this sort of filth (is this not true?) esp. as a result of its easy access - and to know any more details about this issue, is probably going to be destructive for me.
I am at a stage where I am actually affected by seeing semi-nude billboards, going to malls and seeing women with very little on......its the reason that I often wish I could withdraw myself completely from society and head for some cave far away.....
However, I do hope more parents and men, esp. watch this series - and understand how it has become a source of broken hearts, marriages, psychological scarring and the immense displeasure of Allah.
This dunya is heading towards a very dark place.
It has been for a long time.....since our beloved Nabi (sallahu alaihi wasalam) took his last breathe.
The temptations around us are just going to get stronger, and holding onto our imaans only harder.
May Allah make it easy on us all.
Ameen
Assalamu alaikum, I can understand your perspective about distancing yourself from this topic as indeed it is disgusting. However, I am not sure that ignoring the problem or being judmental towards men is a healthy thing either. If it is possible to escape to a remote area without internet and the chance of being contaminated with Western decadence, then that is probably the thing to do. Perhaps there are men who would not be tempted to be involved in this as they have reached a higher plane of spirituality, but this is also something that I perceive men have a tendency toward. Why else do you think that women are commanded to cover themselves if not for this very reason?format_quote Originally Posted by ~Zaria~
If you had watched these videos, you would have learned that teenage boys are the most likely to watch porn over the internet. The purpose of these videos in my opinion is to educate people so they can avoid this fitnah and to protect their children from it as well. A teenage boy who is exposed to pornography is much more likely to become addicted (in my opinion) and affected by it for the rest of his life. If a sister never plans to get married and to never have children, then, yes, it is probably best to avoid these educational videos. However, if a sister plans to get married, then I think it would be good to understand what is going on. You are exactly correct that the temptations are getting stronger, but I think it is good to become educated about this fitnah as the last time I checked we all live in 'the real world' and not the environment of Muhammad (saaws) and his companions.
Earlier I mentioned 'soft porn'. I live in USA and it is almost impossible to watch a movie without at least some partial nudity and sex scenes. Just last night I watched a movie that I had to fast forward through a scene and look away. Today, I went to the store and at the checkout counter was an array of magazines with women in bikini swimsuits and otherwise scantily clad. Again I had to look away. As you mentioned also about billboards, there are those such as advertise 'Hooters' so-called retaurant where the waitresses are scantily clad. These temptations are all around us and I can attest that it is a struggle for men and boys in particular to be vigilant against.
I wana know more about homeschooling too, and as for the videos, I await the repair of my broken sound system.
May Allah swt save everyone from this fitnah, it has completely ripped all humanity of all shame, sense and respect, not to mention that it has degraded women to the lowest level possible, any women being portrayed like this makes my blood boil and makes me want to carpetbomb all these evil people in one go! Idiots from hell :@
Asslamo Alaikum Brother Mustafaformat_quote Originally Posted by MustafaMc

Regards
I watch movies for entertainment and a lot of them are historical and war movies. I don't ever watch what is considered as 'soft porn', but even normal movies like 'Braveheart' have at least one scene where I feel the need to fast forward. You can be judgmental of me, but by doing so you completely miss the point of my post. I live in the USA and I was illustrating the fitnah of sexuality that is constantly tempting men to start down that slippery slope towards pornography that leads to degradation of women's status in the mind of men to the point where they are no more than objects to use for their pleasure and then discard.format_quote Originally Posted by SaneFellow

Women are affected just as bad, but from a different angle. Its not about the naked women (and if u think that this is what this series has, that isn't true), that isn't even what porn is about, porn is the last of it, porn itself is a tool used for the main agenda here. To think that by making naked pictures and billboards go away, is making pornography go away, it is a misconception and for that reason alone I as you to reconsider and give this series an opportunity. You need to understand orchestration behind all of this properly, the more you turn away from what u need to know the more u blind yourself. How can you protect your future children and your future husband from this if you don't know how it works? Tell them too look down any time they see a woman? That won't work because that is not the only way we are exposed to this. You may not watch porn and have never been one to do so in your life, but that doesn't mean u don't have the mentality to an extent, that these people do, because everyone is exposed to it, on a daily basis. You cannot know white without black, and as I said if you don't know how this works exactly, you cannot fix it. You are in the medical field as you have mentioned several times, modern medicine and pharmaceuticals are involved here.format_quote Originally Posted by ~Zaria~Assalamu-alaikum,

I Agree 100% with, this. Unfortunately it's not just men it affects in this way, men just behave differently about it, but the damage goes all the way around.format_quote Originally Posted by MustafaMc

Honestly speaking sister, knowledge which is beneficial to us, should not make us fearful of it. I don't know what else to say except that... i advise giving it a watch.format_quote Originally Posted by ~Zaria~Assalamu-alaikum,

This. So much this. I don't think I really need to add anything to this.format_quote Originally Posted by MustafaMc

Assalamu-alaikum,
JazakAllah for the above sentiments.
I think we should always try to consider the position of one, standing in their shoes.
So, while all that has been said above, is true for the most part - surely this is not the case for everyone, and in all cases.
Being a woman, who walked away from her marriage - as a result of her ex having a similiar problem (amongst other things) - and who has been struggling to regain trust, and remove the doubts/ suspicions/ paranoia that has developed.......surely this is not the series for such as me.
Believe me when I say - my head is not buried in the sand.
I do know understand the depth of this problem.
To the point of researching and visiting some of these sites myself - to try and understand, what it was that draws one to this.....
All that I was left with was guilt, hollowness and the realisation that the man who has been suckered into this world - is going to have a tough time clawing himself out. (not impossible, but tough).
And, even to the point of writing in to a certain car fanatics forum that freely provided such material to its loyal members - and Alhamdulillah, they have now changed their policies about it.
But - tbh, all this knowledge - was coming with a price tag - my own peace of mind.
Do you realise that not all knowledge is good knowledge?
e.g:
Would you tell the person who has been diagnosed with cancer, ALL details of the difficult road that lies ahead of him?
- Surely, it is words of comfort, with a realistic but as positive an outlook as is possible - that will give him hope and courage to face this trial head-on.
- Not the in-depth knowledge of the pain, side effects or poor prognosis of his condition.
But to the one who is treating him - yes, such knowledge is important to be able to insha Allah, do the best he can for this patient.
or:
To the parents whose child has been brutally murdered - do they need to know ALL the details surrounding his/ her death?
Does this knowledge serve to be of benefit or harm to them?
But, to the police who are investigating this case - these pieces of information are crucial.
In the same way - I am aware of the fitnah that surrounds me - how can one not be?
But, do I need to know all the gory details of it?
How is this going to benefit me?
Apart from adding to my psychological distress and sorrows?
Of course - if there are any solutions that are discussed - e.g how can we protect our kids from on-line porn through their cell-phones - please direct me to these.
JazakAllah.
Salaam
Really nice series, brother pyrrhic Jazak'Allah for your effort, may Allah reward you Ameen.
I think about more than 95% of men today with access to internet watch porn.
You'd be quite shocked but its quite liked among women too. Perhaps not in similar numbers but there is a large group of women who does enjoy porn. And I think there is more variability in the female group because of how sexuality develops among many females, which is much more variable compared to that in men. Some are hypersexual and love sex, others totally find it a burden.
But it is a huge problem that wont be solved in years.
the solution is in front of us, Hijrah and an islamic state,
then once the structure is in place and people are able to find useful outlets for their time,
the thought of hudood would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth.
i now know why it's such a gruesome punishment, it brings about a psychological repulsion to the idea.
it also shows that we are in the final stages as this is a form of public fahisha:
There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse.
(Bukhari)
The Hour will come when adultery becomes widespread.
(Al-Haythami, Kitab al-Fitan)
The Last Hour will not be established until they (wicked people) commit adultery on theroads (public ways).
(Ibn Hibban and Bazzar)
and the last thing we want to do is to be pulled up with these animals on the Day of Standing.
When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls,
they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?"
They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth."
They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?"
Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! -
Quran 4:97
a huge dilemma but the solution is in sight.
