An engaging book covering the pressing issue of illicit relationships, that are growing popular amongst Muslim youth. The author succesfully explores the deadly cocktail of sins that are prevalant in colleges and universities. He provides useful, practical solutions, enabling them firstly, to recognise what is harmful to them as students and more so as Muslims, and secondly, to courageously say 'no' to partaking from the cocktail's poisoned chalice.

Issues convered include love, lust, secret lovers and marriages, loneliness, infatuation etc.

"This book can be described as the "need of the times" as it highlights the harms of moral decadence. It provides a rare insight into the nature of the various forms of relationships and the disastrous consequences which then follow. It gives guidance to help a person abandon a life of sin and become a pious Muslim." - Sheikhul Hadith Maulana Abdur Rahim Sahib

Extract from Book: "....Many people are of a beautiful nature, great conduct and of religious insight, yet still they fall into the snares of Shayṭān. This is not because they are evil people or that they have bad hearts. It is quite simply down to the fact that they are lonely! As mentioned before, a person constantly needs a hand to hold, a pair of eyes to look into, and quite simply, a person to love. Many people can live without this partner until a certain age but as soon as they reach the limit, the mind becomes infatuated on having a partner.

    An indepth look and discussion into the Quranic Chapter: Surah Yusuf. This chapter of the Qur’aan allows one to recall the story of the great Prophet of God, Yusuf/Joseph (a.s), and holds host to a whole range of lessons, meanings and emotions for the keen of mind. Dreams, interpretations, slavery, kinship, and forbearance are just a few of the insights in this not to be missed course.

    Scribbling a Masterpiece

    Hazrat Maulana Saleem Dhorat Sahib DB said,

    “It is easy to fall prey to the deception of Shayṭān that we are performing much more worship than those around us. What we need to understand is that quantity is not everything.

    Consider the example of a toddler who spends hours scribbling on a piece of paper. Even though the child has spent much time and effort, his writing is of no real value.

    On the other hand, in five minutes of inspiration, a professional author is able to craft an article that goes on to become a masterpiece. The toddler however will not be able to understand the difference between his work and the work of the professional.

    When it comes to practising Dīn we are also like toddlers in comparison to the pious servants of Allāh ta’ala whose short devotions are far greater than our lengthy devotions. This is why we think that we are performing so much. Shayṭān plays on this misconception and thus we do not reflect.

    This is the reason why we need to spend time in the company of the pious. Through their company, we will begin to master the art of worship and ultimately, inshā’allāh, turn our scribbles into priceless gems.”
