Many sorrowful women come crying to me for ta‘wîdh (amulets) and say, “My husband is trapped in this movie-world and is inclined towards other women. He is treating me like dirt.” Ah! How sorrowful! Virtually every house is caught up in the worship of lust, and yet I am told not to talk on this subject. Listen! I have been so affected by this foolishness [of the person who phoned me and told me not to speak on this subject] and I am so grieved by it that it knows no limits. Most of the women cry on the phone and tell me that because of the nudity that is displayed in the shopping centres, they have been denied the attentive eyes of their husbands. The husband looks at other women and tells her that she is not so beautiful, he is unfortunate, and his mother did not look at his wife-to-be properly. The reason for this is that Satan focuses more light on the women walking on the streets and mesmerizes the men. Consequently, the women on the streets appear more beautiful, while one’s wife appears less beautiful. These are satanic plots. Be content with the wife which Allâh Ta’ala gave you. It is mentioned in the Ahâdîth that these Muslim wives of ours will – inshâ Allâh – be made more beautiful than the doe-eyed damsels of Paradise. Consider a stranger thing to be strange. Can there be a more foolish person than he who looks at something belonging to someone else and then hankers after it and causes his heart to palpitate for it?

About fifteen years ago, a person was admitted into hospital and fell in love with a young nurse who did not observe purdah. His wife and family members came crying to me, and asked me to supplicate for him and give them a ta‘wîdh. I also cried a lot before Allâh Ta’ala. The man was saved and the family which was going through this trauma was also saved. It is for this reason that I say that it is most important to speak on this subject. There are many unmarried girls who have established a relationship of reformation and rectification with me. They write to me and tell me that they derive immense benefit from my talks, they are saved from casting evil glances, and they go to the extent of not even looking at the pictures of men in the newspapers. Tell me, are these young girls deriving benefit or not? All praise is due to Allâh Ta’ala that at least this much benefit is derived where I am receiving letters from these women and they are phoning me to tell me that they are supplicating for me and for my long life because they have given up many sins by attending my assemblies.
