A person once came to a Shaykh, and said that O Hadrat saab, make dua for me I’m unable to guard my gaze. Even when I go for Umrah and for Hajj, even in the Haram, while making Tawaaf I’m unable to guard my gaze. In fact, my condition is such that [at that time there were stairs that went down to the well of Zamzam water] I would go and stand at the stairs apparently waiting for my wife but what I would do is I would look at all the faces of all the women who climbed up the stairs. Now all of you who have ever been to Makkah Mukarama and have seen that the part of the stair path, the khana Kaaba is right in front of you. Imagine that you can see the house of Allah Almighty but instead of looking at that house, you lower your gaze from that house and stand there looking at the women climbing up the stairs. How fallen is that person, how overcome is he by his desires? Otherwise, the truth is that the eyes of one who has seen the khana ka’aba of Allah Almighty won’t even have the desire to look at anything else. The eyes that were blessed with the vision of the house of Allah Almighty, those eyes that even saw the streets of Medina, those eyes that even saw the gutters of Medina should never even dream of looking at anything else. But in those very holy places a young man uses his eyes to look at those strange women. Even in these holy places a young man is not able to control his gaze. Why? It’s because he spends his whole life, every day of his life in his room on the internet. If he spends every day of his life on the phone with a girl then how can he hope to save himself even if he is in Makkah or Medina? So guard your gazes in your daily routine in order to avoid such a situation
