Subhan Allah! What a beautiful way of speech. Shaykh explained the problems so clearly and precisely without being harsh and even presented a solution at the end. May Allah reward him immensely. Jazak Allahu Khaira for sharing. Hopefully this helps me and many Muslims all around the world.
The good news is: Islam became the fastest growing religion in Japan. I've heard that there's a whole Muslim village there. (Or a village with a large Muslim community) Al-Hamdullilah, May Allah purify that country and its people from all its filth, Falsehood and corruption.
Japan is a very different culture from west and much more polite in manners historically much less club and party culture than in the west who are much more inclined to that lifestyle and is the norm
I've quit anime alhamdullilah and haven't look back since. Now its been 2 years & soo much has improved, I felt that I've grown much more as a man, not just in the physical sense but from an adolescence to mature adulthood sort of way. The Sheikh is speaking 100% truth here, its time our brothers and sisters of the youth recognize this evil for what it is. Instead of chapters of manga, I now been reading chapters of the Quran, reading now on 4th Juz, trying to understand the translation and now read books on the daily. This new breath of fresh air has put me at peace & ease. I hope many brothers and sisters leave this haram for the halal for the sake of Allah.
Not attacking your former interest or anything but i am curious to know what exactly did you like about it? me personally never have been intrested in these boring animation cartoons from the start(since childhood)
@@fevad1246 they ain't your typical cartoons anime show philosophical perspective to various social problems which makes them addictive for instance in one anime the main character genocide other races but you can't say he was wrong 💀
Indeed but Ma Sha Allah many Japanese are also converting to Islam making it one of the countries where Islam is rapidly spreading May Allah guide all of them to the path of Islam
@@ash.bsf261 you missed the point of the video. The sheikh was saying that anime does have messages that are against what islam teaches, such as beating God, being a god, embracing lgbtq and women who are sexualized and underdressed. Anyone who does watch those shows should stop, parents should use those shows as an example to why its damaging to your soul
@@abdirizakm9426 still doesn't change the main point, these messages are all around you: internet, films/tv series, people from different cultures and religions etc.. should I hate anything non islam related? hate my non muslim friends? Or understand that world outside islam exists and not follow some beliefs because of brainwashing, but because I understand them? For children I agree on not exposing them to any media without control because they're easely influenced, but if you're a grown ass adult and fear anime because they kill god you have to ask yourself some serious questions
@@ash.bsf261 there is no "hating", just avoiding. And just to put it into perspective, us Muslims should never hate any non-muslim whether they are lgbtq+ or whatever. It's just that we avoid them and ther ideals because it is haram.
@@ash.bsf261I love you for this answer brother. Why the need for selecting. Watch avengers for example or marvels, thy contain such too. Or are you making yourself satisfy to sleep at night? All movies are waste of time. Anime? Really?
Jazakallah sheikh I'm quitting Anime from now on and will never watch it again INSHALLAH. Allah opened my eyes through you may Allah grant you the highest rank in Jannat ul Firdous and Allah grant you home the closest to our beloved prophet s.a.w! Aameen ❤
I think the main message is that not that just anime is bad but any form of media that tries to lead you astray by making you believe it is the norm and anything that may make you commit sins should be avoided. Ofcourse almost all if not all anime come into this category but the same goes for music, tv shows etc. Overall the influence these things have on kids tend to be greater at young ages therefore it is best to ease them out explaining to them the Islamic reasoning behind it so they can understand that it doesn’t apply to just anime rather than force them out just like he said in the talk.
@@abdulnasirmuhammad3929 non animated content is likely to be worse because they include a lot of cursing, nudity etc like animated content can be bad but there are definitely some anime that avoid a lot of these things that will tempt one towards sin. It’s hard to find anything similar in other media.
@@Darkdray123 see I've watched a lots of anime and movies series, I can say what harmed me the most is actually Hollywood but i dont really believe all thats on anime. Not all anime are and and same with Hollywood movies you are supporting. But whatever makes you feel like you are on the right part to paradise bro. But the truth is all are the same...
@@abdulnasirmuhammad3929 Yh no I agree all are the same but Hollywood is worse most of the time. Especially because Hollywood also incorporate anti-Islam things into their stuff on top of the huge amount of bad things they have.
😢😢 very beautiful and meaningful reminder. it’s hard when you’re also surrounded with friends and family that indulge in it too. however do i want this to be my excuse on The Day of No Return? 😞🙏 absolutely not. im trying my best to leave that part of me behind the one that watches animes donghuas and reads manhuas/mangas. It’s time for a change. According to imam’s recommendation, I think I’d rather read stories about the sahaba instead ❤ may Allah guide me
Bro wake up you have a brain use it, do you let anime manipulate your mind about islam? You know that internet is even worse than anime? So you have 2 options: living a monk life, away from any type of media OR not letting everything manipulate you like a child and learn to separate reality from fiction???? Is it that difficult?!?!?!?? :)))
Great to see a sheikh put it this way. I figured this out a while ago when i was trying to be a better Muslim. I quit anime ever since but i couldn't convince my friends and siblings to quit. I pray sharing this video will help them understand
Anime, movies, tv shows, music, books, any sort of entertainment and anything that does not promote Islamic values. Do not kid yourselves and just say anime. Read Quran and pray all day in between working and spending time with family and friends. Remember not to curse, remember not to lose your temper, remember to be kind to your neighbours, remember to not invest in or buy from brands who do not have Islamic values, remember to constantly think of Allah. How many Muslims do you think do this in today’s day and age? We should strive for greatness and use our Prophet PBUH as a role model. Do not beat yourselves too much. Allah knows best.
@@RareManga I'll have you know that I don't engage in any of those you mentioned. I recently quit video games too. But thanks for sharing. And also, one problem at a time 😅
@@ProSigmaLoneWolf he's right though, by the sheikh logic, all sorts of entertainment is Haram, and tools that contribute to entertainment like TV's and PC's and phone, etc... since they lead you to those said things,
@@oulhadjouldsaadi9978 Using TV's and PC's and phone are not haram it depends on what you are using them for like you can watch online islamic videos like dakwah, rules and etc what you basically said is wrong because lets say imagine if this person buys a car and you say its haram to buy a car because it could lead to night club and any haram place...
Let's examine the anime (One Piece) in the thumbnail: 1. One of the characters says he doesn't believe in God 2. A character says he is God and people call him God 3. An ancient "weapon" is described as being able to kill a God 4. A character has the ability to change people's bodies and turn men into women and vice versa 5. An island full of gays 6. Women with exposed bodyparts that increase in size almost every season
To be fair, one piece in a way is a take on the real world, like how those at the top of the world proclaim themselves to be gods.. or behave as such, and deceive the people into remaining in power.. And also mythologies featuring so called pantheons of gods.. It's such an intricately layered plot with interplay of themes, all made for children to enjoy... Though, there's sun worship , with the whole sun god thing.. warrior of liberation and all..
In general , the whole god thing is based on the polytheistic beliefs that's prevalent in these parts of the world.. Which actually makes it worse cuz now we are going to have to be on our guards even when we breath, lest we utter sth wrong..
I was a big anime fan but after realizing some things in anime make me quit it.addiction,sexuality,abnormal idias about creator, or god and wasting a big amount of time etc.not only anime but kdrama,webtoons,manga they are cut from the same cloth.After enjoying them a lot I realized that they gave me funs a little bit but didn’t gave peace of mind when i needed.I spend time on them. because i was lonely but they couldn’t remove my lonelyness instead increased my depression.I have quit them long ago but i still have the addiction in watching meme,reels, vidio about them.'they are not a big deel' that thought deprived a big Opportunity in my life.opportunity to do something more meaningful.💔
My brother, you are not alone in this situation, I too have experienced the same thing as you. I even came to hate myself because I blamed myself for not being like those anime characters I admired. Yet, we Muslims have our heroes who really existed, but who are better than these fictional heroes. Since then, I have become more interested in the story of the companions and the Prophet (Sallahu aleyhi sa salam). Since alhamdulilah I have a little more confidence in myself than before. I'm often tempted, but alhamdulilah I try to hold on as much as I can. May Allah guide us.
I understand your fear, but I have to say, I watched anime since I was a young teenager and now in my late 20s I am much deeper in believe with islam and Allah, than I have ever been in my live. I pray 5 times a day, fast in the time of ramadan, do zakat etc. anime did not change my view of islam. by the way Japan is indeed one of the most friendly countries in the world and also islam is one of the fastest growing religion in japan :) Of course, people should pay attention and not get addictive to those things. As soon as you notice that you watch anime more than you do anything else, it would be a good time to take a break from that and focus on something else
Same Let’s talk about the anime in the thumbnail one piece There’s Islam in one piece But also dozen other religions just like in the real world the Sun God, Rain God, Forest God, and Earth God Stuff is also like mythology The gender change is truly something bad Would be possible in this world when gods will But it’s still bad even if it would be possible in our world Sun god Nika and stuff isn’t an real god but exists And still gets worshipped similar to our prophet isa There’s much violence yea…its just animated but still not very good The sexualization of some characters is bad If you don’t care then it’s not as bad but still bad The island full of gays..I don’t even want to defend this but hey It’s like our real world…everywhere are gays nowadays In the western countries

Jazakallahu khair for posting this here Ive seen this on twitter and this was much needed. a lot of those who watch these cartoons refuse to believe theyre not permissible and we desperately needed the guidance of our ulema . Anime is disgusting
Thank you so much for ur guidance...... I am really addicted to those anime but ur word truly moved me and made me see that those characters and their beliefs and everything is fake...... Thank you so much😊
Some say "it's just entertainment, it's not that important" but people who grew up watching such shows and then were guided by Allah to become more religious have so much hardship while leaving off their old ways and they regret having wasted their youth. Dont make your children regret their childhood.
Watching anime, movies and all other entertainment is like opening the mane gate of your fort for the enemy to enter. See what ravage they would leave behind. Jazakum allahu khayran protect yourself protect your imaan

I see some brothers trying to defend manga and anime in the comments, and I just have this to say. Please just admit that manga and anime are AT BEST, *AT BEST* a way to kill the time. If this is what they are AT BEST, then it's not worth it. And before someone says "but such-and-such anime teaches such-and-such good!" Brother, you could've have found that good studying the Book of Allah and the sunnah of His Messenger (SAW). Is that not enough for us?!

I used to watch anime all the time when I was younger, thanks to Allah swt I quit that waste of time and now use my time to benefit myself. As the sheikh has said, these cartoons are only a reflection of the people who create them and are a means for Shaytan's deception. I can name so many animes that have shirk in them and involve Shinto (the polytheistic religion of Japan), degrade Allah the Supreme to a great extent, and promote shamelessness and indecency. I would recommend any person still watching anime to just drop it, it contains so much haram and brings no value at all.
Amazing video. As I was watching it I was bringing up questions like, “is it okay if I just skip the scenes,” etc, things like that and by the time I finished the video all my questions were answered.
True there's very very very few animes that i watched that didn't contain kufr or bad ideas very few and most of the animes 99.9 has nonsense ideas or magic or demons as innocent good creature or gods as evil or reincarnation and blasphemy and hints to p××ngrapghy let alone it's a waste of time that you coul use in getting better in life and improving yourself finding a job or a hobby getting closer to allah etc may allah guide us and all muslim youth and fill our time with that which benefit us amen ya rab🤲🤲🤲😢😢😢
It is a nonsense some of it.I believe it just for fun people watch the anime. Not everyone have a same view.same like movie u watch.But have u ever see a good side from it? Like be kind towards animal. Be kind toward each other.helping each other.the family bond and friendship.Protect people, act kindness to each other, feel sympathy. I don't think the writer wrote the anime for u to become a magic person, have power bla bla bla like that. It's about the moral of the story. U read kids story book too since kid that's why have moral of the story
@@Notimportant-c5vEven if there’s a “moral” to the story, why do you need a Japanese cartoon to teach you morality? No offense but you all need to grow up. To top it off despite the “morals” in anime it’s riddled with filth so it spoils the good aspect of the story.
Yeah this is something that I have struggled to defend anime at. Many anime shows portray multiple deities, and people overpowering evil gods. That sends the wrong message about the Creator. And many anime are filled with sexual innuendos and references. Growing up I thought it was part of culture for teenagers to be accustomed to sex. But looking back I realize these shows harm the youth more
Yes now i think about it the shows really contains lgbt and other haram things wallahi no Anime from now on inshallah. May allah guide us thank you very much Sheikh.
@@aziz_here Don't make fun of your Muslim brothers. Pray for their guidance What you are doing might discourage and make them go on the wrong path altogether We are not supposed to have suspicion in our Muslim brothers and sisters. Allah guide us all
You said the truth , We can always watch the censored versions of animes , but the fact is that we understand that those characters we watch they are g*y , i always wanted to see an anime that doesnt need censors , do you think like this?
@@justsamiulno it isn’t because of that, it’s due to perversion and increase of p*rn watching in that country for all the lonely men. There’s tons of them so they adds these scenes in shows to appeal to them to get them to fall in love with these female characters and support the show. Weirdo guys buy bodycon pillows of these characters and sleep in bed with them.
Baaraka'Lahou fikh right at the moment when I'm talking to you I'm in an anime rehab session (and this since this Ramadan) despite the temptations here and there alhamdulilah I'm trying to hold on. It's very difficult at first, but with time it will go in sha'Allah. These anime/manga are like a drug when you start, hard to stop but not impossible. So I stopped reading them as well as music, movies and series.
😂😂😂 exactly. I don't understand these people about only anime. What happened to series and movies about gay, lesbians and s**. That's why I don't listen to just any sheik or preacher
This is fair criticism, I think great opportunity for Muslims to rediscover Japan's forgotten history of Islam before WWs. How do we help Japanese unless we realize how much we share so much human interaction pre-European contact. Plus, Muslims need to be their own voice in asking for better from Anime industry & other Japanese lead industries if we continue to be big partner to Japan. We don't want to be like those addicts, We dont want to worship others, they need to have some type of appropiate goods & services where we dont have to compromise. Less living images more aesthetic designs that can adopted into our own Muslim background. it takes time but i am hopeful that Anime will have sub-niche for us to make ourselves home but compared to Hollywood & animation industry in the West, Japanese have better medium to speak to connecting Muslim audiences compared to the West.
Okay, sheikh, but what can you say specifically about Studio Ghibli's and Hayao Miyazaki's works in Heidi: the Girl of the Alps, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle? Even such more kid-friendly animations can contain some doughtful dialogues in it. Like when Muska mentions Sodom and Gomorra in Laputa, or when Satsuki and Mei greet the statue while hiding from raining in Totoro. Or if the translators of Ponyo translate the Granmamare as "sea goddess" instead of, for example, "sea queen", which would be more like a fairy-tale, rather than a Shinto reference.
Anike in its essence is haram, there is probably free mixing in those anime you mentioned, no covering up of the women and girls, music and alot more, so don't know if yo are Muslim or not but the same ruling for movies/TV shows is applied for anime and in some cases the anime is worst then tv shows. Haram is haram, you may be able to fool yourself, but can't fool Allah, brother. Islam is extremely clear in what's halal an haram and it's exceptions
@AbayBentin I'm speaking normally aside from the typos and yes we as MUSLIMS should not waste our time watching haram. You seem like a troll so I don't know about you
Before someone should ever even try to watch anime, they must know that they must not be influenced. And God is the supreme being that can not be overthrown.Good preaching great Prophet of Allah.
There is also the similar issue of video games, one of them is very popular and many muslims play it, it is literally a game praising buddha where your character prays to buddha to save the game. It would be a good idea to ask a scholar or ustadh if playing it is kufr-akbar, because of how dangerous this is.
Yeah games like God of war and genshin impact are example of that. However, games such as subnautica and minecraft(as long as you dont eat pork in game as well) is fine right?
@@fevad1246 I think applying rules to minecraft is a little overkilll but it makes complete sense. Like, we can comprehend it is a video game and in sha allah we are not influenced by it.
yes spacetoon is the best! They make sure to stream shows with a good moral, and they make sure to censor nudity and athiesm (by changing the character story a bit)
Imagine saying One Piece doesn't spread good morals or character. The main character is light hearted and unbelievably loyal to his family and friends and cannot stand evil. Japan is also known to be the country with the most polite people, who put a lot of care into their work. It's easy to point fingers at one thing for being the cause of spiritual decay but this really isn't it. Saudi have direct relationships with America who are committing the most evil acts imaginable, just so Saudi can stay an economic powerhouse. They make all their money from oil which is directly causing the earth to be destroyed at a rapid rate. Absolute hypocrites.
Some are good some are not. But me if I watch anime I love the character who are not side from bad. I still watch it but only I love the kindness and warm part from anime but it develops me to be kind. Defend someone being bully by anyone doesn't matter if u Muslim or not. This is me. What I want to say Only God know me well
But you forgot to mention that there are also a bunch of instances in Japan(atleast what I know of) that women get s#xually abused by degenerate men, and One Piece has a lot of women that has big bosoms, wears revealing clothes, and there are also scenes that show their full body except their private parts, this gives a lasting impression on the women and men, affecting women by making them think that that is normal, and watering the seed of lust that is planted in men's mind. There is also Sanji and other characters who are p#rverts(which sort of normalizes that kind of behaviour)
Lol One Piece does not spread good. There is so much degeneracy in there. Nami literally became a hentai character out the blue from being flat chested in the beginning to randomly growing a massive pair of knockers and the directors constantly flashing them in your face. Then there's characters like Ivankov which are literal transvestites/drag Queens. And more recently there's Yamato (Kaido's daughter) who is a trans character and identifies as a male. Whilst I as a grown man still watch anime, this video has got me thinking about introducing it to my young children. I do get your points about Saudi but you can treat this video in isolation and appreciate the points made on the dangers of anime. Also, it is worth highlighting the suicide rate in Japan and linking it with Atheism, there may be a correlation there with unhappiness in their hearts due to the lack of aqeedah and tawhid.
You bro really think Saudi =Islam when it literally imprisons Sheikhs who speaks against them, sure it has one of the most important holy places and where holy quran was send that's it's linked to islam Saudi and it's ?? politics aside beside it celebrating Halloween in Riyadh season It is said in the quran, there is no sin worse than worshipping other than God إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَىٰ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا (48) Also mentions that if you sin after شرك (worshiping other than God) or do good work, it will be meaningless وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ Oh and anyway, people in east asia tends to be polite to satisfy how society look to them and judge them, many social experiments were done asking some why are they what they are -like one of a british asking asians to take a picture for him, asians tends to perfect it while Europeans complains and ignore- many asians in the comments clarify (we do it for the sake of people view towards us🤣) Also,we muslims, our goal and work is the after life before working for this Duniah, so it is only natural to see success in this World, fame and economic superiority in the hand of Kufar and Hypocrites Oh one interesting note, Arabs≠muslims, I remember that the world's most number of muslim was Afghanistan and it's non Arab
My man literally said "Japan has no good character" This is exactly the problem with wahhbi scholars, 1.Japan has high unaliving rates mostly due to toxic work culture, inability to get women to Marry, society in general and honour models that arw bad 2.Japan has good values, anybody that had been there will witness to this, infact most of their shops are left unguarded. 3.Japan has the highest rate of conversion to islam in secular countries. The question is "Is Anime haram to watch" The question isnt "Is going to japan haram" Someone needs to have this scholar visit countries and this question is appropriate for Shaykh assim al hakim as his answers take every perspective.
He didnt say going there is haram though! you seem to like japan, I love japan too and wish to go someday, however you cant deny that these things are haram. 1 is true but he mentioned it because they dont follow their religion with full faith. When a person has faith and is struggling in life, he or she will pray and usually become a better believer to recieve help from Allah swt. Allah is the only one who knows a persons faith. If a person doesnt have faith, he or she become dependent on obsession (smoking, drinking, movies or whatever) just to not think of or deal with their struggles. 2 true they have good values and so do other countries, each is different, but now anime dont focus to represent them as something to teach viewers, old anime used to. now the bad things are more than the good things. 3 true hopefully things change and we fans also do not get really attached to anime, it is dunya after all. also this is something unrelated: 4 theres this perception that japanese people are fully polite and accepting, but they actually judge and complain just like any other human. I really love their culture, i just wish this "politeness" culture doesnt stress them out
I agree with a lot of what the sheikh said but its definitely not all anime. I grew up watching those Arabic dubbed anime on Spacetoon, such as Remi, which have great messages for all ages and are a great way to teach kids important life lessons and values, such as being grateful for what you have and your parents. A lot of modern Anime definitely have fanservice and haram stuff, but its not all. There are many out there, it just requires being diligent in choosing what to watch.
Anime is not Haram rather it is nonsense, all that it amounts to is temporary amusement, distraction, and waste of time. If you keep denying this to your grave, you have only yourself to blame. Shaytan says "So do not blame me, blame yourself." "I had no power over you except that I invited you."
@@User_internet960 Life is temporary, but spending time with family is not a waste of time, watch what words or comments you make without any knowledge of it.
I'm a muslims, most of the animes was not made for kids and most of the animes doesn't contain sexual content and homosexuality like shonen anime for example and i don't see a problem for me to watch anime as long as it doesn't affect my faith and it doesn't distract me from praying and reading the quran and such so i don't know why he's talking about watching anime like it's a disease that should be treated
It isn't just anime, it's all forms modern entertainment. Even if there might be some shows that don't have anything that disagrees with the aqeda and are just neutral towards it, it's just since the stuff with the immortality is what sells it's the one you'll see most common, so we still can't tell people "oh it's fine as long as you watch something with no bad things in it". May Allah guide us all and I hope in the future we will have more Muslims create safer and more beneficial forms of entertainment for us so we can get rid of the western brainwashing from our communities.
What is that going to do? LOL. You could be reading actual books. Scientific books, medical books, engineering books, philosophical books, and so on. It’s like saying you could read red riding hood or three little pigs. Same exact concept.
@@Bane03XAre you a kafir?! To any Muslims reading this, most scientific books promote false and haram ideas, and philosophy is completely harm. Meanwhile the Quran is a physical and spiritual cure, and ones gets 10 hasana for each letter read!
This the kinda of comment that I don’t like read “Qur”en Instead”… which actually drives people away. You should read the Quran regardless not as replacement. By the way you could do both Watch anime And read the Quran
We're living in the end times wallaai ☝️ the fitna is everywhere and one can't avoid not seeing or encountering it but to go through it, may Allah subhaanahuu wata'aallaa in his infinite wisdom and power grant us the strength and ability we need to make our tasks easy for us and make us among his successful servants AMEEN YAA RABBIL ÀLLAMEEN 🤲
If I can say my point of you, I think it really depends from person to person. For example, me watching Anime made me more motivated to follow my deen and be strong person by going to the gym and take care of the body that Allah swt gave me. Still doesn;t make it halal, but not everyone growing up watching anime will become atheist, I grew up watching Dragon Ball and all the other animes my generation grew up with, and I still watch them today and they made me the Muslim I am today Alhamdulillah. It's all about perspective and HOW you look at things at the end of the day.
You take anime as guidance? You take atheistic dogma as a way of life? Why is it so hard to admit it's a sin? Dragon ball is filled with haram material and elements.
Do not lie. Western anime, films, series, etc. are not designed for Muslim peoples, but rather for Western culture and peoples. Stop lying and act as if the whole world is revolving around you.
Wallahi I'm not finished watching the video but i already see the Sheikh's point. it has always confused me how the Japanese have such admirable qualities like respect, cleanliness and teamwork, which shows in their anime, but still commit so much suicide. Allah's guidance is king, not that of society.
I hope the Japanese are not offended, the Sheikh is talking with good intentions and facts. We've seen the destructive effects of such values spread in Anime in their society before ours. Just a while ago I've read a light novel that turned into Anime, surely Japanese, where the Hero with "superpowers" is serious about turning his father "to ashes" and "killing" his mother for the sake of his sweetheart!!! And that was supposed to be cute!!!! It was my first Japanese novel and my first Japanese Anime and I was already snorting over the "superpower" parts but, that talkimg of burning and killing was shocking tbh! Probably the first LN and Anime I'd read and watch and the last! Pure nonsense.
What he said is kinda true. Children are easily influenced by randoms things so, try showing them anime made for kids like beyblade, doraemon, digimon and teach them well. Then after a certain age through good guidance nothing can influence them. They can then watch whatever they want because they then become grown ups who have strong imaan in Allah :)
Me I watch, anime like slice of life, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell paradise, Solo leveling that's the anime I watch and because of that I have abstained from drugs, violence, alcohol and any other bad stuff out there and I am Leaving a normal live, I respect what you're saying but other animes reflects on life people are trafficking kids for sexual entertainment and is the least people worry about so..... Thank You
I agree with most of what sir has said. However, I would like to add some things which might come off as geeky but, please do read. Not all anime is bad. Some are good and actually help you in real life. However, these anime mostly cater to understanding minds, mostly mature audiences. For example, Vinland Saga. Such anime teach valuable life lessons. I will not deny the fact that most anime these days are filled with fanservice and immorality. The stories are highly disgusting especially some genres being completely for degenrate audiences. But, there's always an exception. The anime I mentioned, Vinland Saga, mostly teaches you about war and peace. It teaches you pacifism which is also a major teaching of our Prophet (PBUH). There are many philosophical and intellectual concepts that will stimulate your thoughts and shape you into a better and more virtuous human being. Moreover, I have overcome my anime addiction, which is paradoxical. Typically, anime tends to engross viewers, fostering a desire for more and consuming precious time. What I'm basically saying is that it's up to you which sort of entertainment you want to consume. Immorality, filth or, life lessons, inspirational. And Allah knows the best.
@@ahmadfrhan5265 argumentatively, depending on what anime/show are you referring too. Obviously not all shows are perfect but some actually really delivers good values.
But kids do watch it, that's the reality I'm 15 and idk how many anime episodes I watched in the past 4 years. It's also extremely addictive and can get someone emotionally traumatized in some extreme cases.
May Allah forgive us to writing this on a comment section. I don't know if watching anime is either halal or not, but it's the kind of fitnah. But how and why? Some kind of people are idolizing an anime character because the director tries to make graphics and storylines more beautiful than paradise (actually paradise or jannah is better and beautiful than their misconception) during production. Those kind of people are some TH-camrs. I saw every thumbnails of TH-cam videos, which shows that the TH-camrs are calling a male or female anime character "god". Astagfirullah! Why didn't they realize that Allah (SWT) is only their one god? Imagine, this may be the sign of qiyamah! May Allah give hidayah to those TH-camrs who are doing this shirk or kufr. Amin.

I've quit anime alhamdullilah and haven't look back since. Now its been 2 years & soo much has improved, I felt that I've grown much more as a man, not just in the physical sense but from an adolescence to mature adulthood sort of way. The Sheikh is speaking 100% truth here, its time our brothers and sisters of the youth recognize this evil for what it is.
Instead of chapters of manga, I now been reading chapters of the Quran, reading now on 4th Juz, trying to understand the translation and now read books on the daily. This new breath of fresh air has put me at peace & ease. I hope many brothers and sisters leave this haram for the halal for the sake of Allah.

Yes lets blame everything but ourselves for not being good muslims
@@ash.bsf261 you missed the point of the video. The sheikh was saying that anime does have messages that are against what islam teaches, such as beating God, being a god, embracing lgbtq and women who are sexualized and underdressed. Anyone who does watch those shows should stop, parents should use those shows as an example to why its damaging to your soul
@@abdirizakm9426 still doesn't change the main point, these messages are all around you: internet, films/tv series, people from different cultures and religions etc.. should I hate anything non islam related? hate my non muslim friends? Or understand that world outside islam exists and not follow some beliefs because of brainwashing, but because I understand them? For children I agree on not exposing them to any media without control because they're easely influenced, but if you're a grown ass adult and fear anime because they kill god you have to ask yourself some serious questions
@@ash.bsf261 there is no "hating", just avoiding. And just to put it into perspective, us Muslims should never hate any non-muslim whether they are lgbtq+ or whatever. It's just that we avoid them and ther ideals because it is haram.
@@ash.bsf261I love you for this answer brother. Why the need for selecting. Watch avengers for example or marvels, thy contain such too. Or are you making yourself satisfy to sleep at night? All movies are waste of time. Anime? Really?

I think the main message is that not that just anime is bad but any form of media that tries to lead you astray by making you believe it is the norm and anything that may make you commit sins should be avoided. Ofcourse almost all if not all anime come into this category but the same goes for music, tv shows etc. Overall the influence these things have on kids tend to be greater at young ages therefore it is best to ease them out explaining to them the Islamic reasoning behind it so they can understand that it doesn’t apply to just anime rather than force them out just like he said in the talk.
Exactly what I argued with a brother. Why only anime.... Hollywood did the worst. Movies are waste of time
@@abdulnasirmuhammad3929 non animated content is likely to be worse because they include a lot of cursing, nudity etc like animated content can be bad but there are definitely some anime that avoid a lot of these things that will tempt one towards sin. It’s hard to find anything similar in other media.
@@Darkdray123 see I've watched a lots of anime and movies series, I can say what harmed me the most is actually Hollywood but i dont really believe all thats on anime. Not all anime are and and same with Hollywood movies you are supporting. But whatever makes you feel like you are on the right part to paradise bro. But the truth is all are the same...
@@abdulnasirmuhammad3929 Yh no I agree all are the same but Hollywood is worse most of the time. Especially because Hollywood also incorporate anti-Islam things into their stuff on top of the huge amount of bad things they have.
@@abdulnasirmuhammad3929 anime is literally sexualizing 7-8 year old girls
😢😢 very beautiful and meaningful reminder. it’s hard when you’re also surrounded with friends and family that indulge in it too. however do i want this to be my excuse on The Day of No Return? 😞🙏 absolutely not. im trying my best to leave that part of me behind the one that watches animes donghuas and reads manhuas/mangas.

Bro wake up you have a brain use it, do you let anime manipulate your mind about islam? You know that internet is even worse than anime? So you have 2 options: living a monk life, away from any type of media OR not letting everything manipulate you like a child and learn to separate reality from fiction???? Is it that difficult?!?!?!?? :)))
Al-Hamdullilah ! This has become one of your most watched videos. May Allah keep you steadfast and reward you!
Great to see a sheikh put it this way.
I figured this out a while ago when i was trying to be a better Muslim. I quit anime ever since but i couldn't convince my friends and siblings to quit.
I pray sharing this video will help them understand
Anime, movies, tv shows, music, books, any sort of entertainment and anything that does not promote Islamic values.
Do not kid yourselves and just say anime.
Read Quran and pray all day in between working and spending time with family and friends.
Remember not to curse, remember not to lose your temper, remember to be kind to your neighbours, remember to not invest in or buy from brands who do not have Islamic values, remember to constantly think of Allah.

@@ProSigmaLoneWolf he's right though, by the sheikh logic, all sorts of entertainment is Haram, and tools that contribute to entertainment like TV's and PC's and phone, etc... since they lead you to those said things,

Let's examine the anime (One Piece) in the thumbnail:
1. One of the characters says he doesn't believe in God
2. A character says he is God and people call him God
3. An ancient "weapon" is described as being able to kill a God
4. A character has the ability to change people's bodies and turn men into women and vice versa
5. An island full of gays
6. Women with exposed bodyparts that increase in size almost every season
Broo thats absolutely true
Now you cant even watch anime without finding single naked girl and someone call himself God or fights God.
@@serecmoon indeed
Oof, really puts things into perspective when you jot it down like that thank you.
To be fair, one piece in a way is a take on the real world, like how those at the top of the world proclaim themselves to be gods.. or behave as such, and deceive the people into remaining in power..
And also mythologies featuring so called pantheons of gods..
It's such an intricately layered plot with interplay of themes, all made for children to enjoy...
Though, there's sun worship , with the whole sun god thing.. warrior of liberation and all..
In general , the whole god thing is based on the polytheistic beliefs that's prevalent in these parts of the world..
Which actually makes it worse cuz now we are going to have to be on our guards even when we breath, lest we utter sth wrong..
I was a big anime fan but after realizing some things in anime make me quit it.addiction,sexuality,abnormal idias about creator, or god and wasting a big amount of time etc.not only anime but kdrama,webtoons,manga they are cut from the same cloth.After enjoying them a lot I realized that they gave me funs a little bit but didn’t gave peace of mind when i needed.I spend time on them.
because i was lonely but they couldn’t remove my lonelyness instead increased my depression.I have quit them long ago but i still have the addiction in watching meme,reels, vidio about them.'they are not a big deel' that thought deprived a big Opportunity in my life.opportunity to do something more meaningful.💔
My brother, you are not alone in this situation, I too have experienced the same thing as you. I even came to hate myself because I blamed myself for not being like those anime characters I admired.
Yet, we Muslims have our heroes who really existed, but who are better than these fictional heroes.
Since then, I have become more interested in the story of the companions and the Prophet (Sallahu aleyhi sa salam).
Since alhamdulilah I have a little more confidence in myself than before. I'm often tempted, but alhamdulilah I try to hold on as much as I can.
May Allah guide us.
I understand your fear, but I have to say, I watched anime since I was a young teenager and now in my late 20s I am much deeper in believe with islam and Allah, than I have ever been in my live. I pray 5 times a day, fast in the time of ramadan, do zakat etc. anime did not change my view of islam.
by the way Japan is indeed one of the most friendly countries in the world and also islam is one of the fastest growing religion in japan :)
Of course, people should pay attention and not get addictive to those things. As soon as you notice that you watch anime more than you do anything else, it would be a good time to take a break from that and focus on something else
Same
Let’s talk about the anime in the thumbnail one piece
There’s Islam in one piece
But also dozen other religions just like in the real world
the Sun God, Rain God, Forest God, and Earth God
Stuff is also like mythology
The gender change is truly something bad
Would be possible in this world when gods will
But it’s still bad even if it would be possible in our world
Sun god Nika and stuff isn’t an real god but exists
And still gets worshipped similar to our prophet isa
There’s much violence yea…its just animated but still not very good
The sexualization of some characters is bad
If you don’t care then it’s not as bad but still bad
The island full of gays..I don’t even want to defend this but hey
It’s like our real world…everywhere are gays nowadays
In the western countries
I watched anime and I can say that it absolutely destroyed my world view and took me away from Islam.

I used to watch anime all the time when I was younger, thanks to Allah swt I quit that waste of time and now use my time to benefit myself.
As the sheikh has said, these cartoons are only a reflection of the people who create them and are a means for Shaytan's deception. I can name so many animes that have shirk in them and involve Shinto (the polytheistic religion of Japan), degrade Allah the Supreme to a great extent, and promote shamelessness and indecency.
I would recommend any person still watching anime to just drop it, it contains so much haram and brings no value at all.
Amazing video. As I was watching it I was bringing up questions like, “is it okay if I just skip the scenes,” etc, things like that and by the time I finished the video all my questions were answered.
True there's very very very few animes that i watched that didn't contain kufr or bad ideas very few and most of the animes 99.9 has nonsense ideas or magic or demons as innocent good creature or gods as evil or reincarnation and blasphemy and hints to p××ngrapghy let alone it's a waste of time that you coul use in getting better in life and improving yourself finding a job or a hobby getting closer to allah etc may allah guide us and all muslim youth and fill our time with that which benefit us amen ya rab🤲🤲🤲😢😢😢
It is a nonsense some of it.I believe it just for fun people watch the anime. Not everyone have a same view.same like movie u watch.But have u ever see a good side from it? Like be kind towards animal. Be kind toward each other.helping each other.the family bond and friendship.Protect people, act kindness to each other, feel sympathy. I don't think the writer wrote the anime for u to become a magic person, have power bla bla bla like that. It's about the moral of the story. U read kids story book too since kid that's why have moral of the story
@@Notimportant-c5vEven if there’s a “moral” to the story, why do you need a Japanese cartoon to teach you morality? No offense but you all need to grow up. To top it off despite the “morals” in anime it’s riddled with filth so it spoils the good aspect of the story.
ربي اهدنا اننا عباد لا حول لنا ولا قوة بدونك
Yeah this is something that I have struggled to defend anime at. Many anime shows portray multiple deities, and people overpowering evil gods. That sends the wrong message about the Creator. And many anime are filled with sexual innuendos and references. Growing up I thought it was part of culture for teenagers to be accustomed to sex. But looking back I realize these shows harm the youth more

Barely watching them.
My biggest problem with animes is that they disrespect the god(allah)
To me, it's the revealing characters. There's always a female character sexualized

Baaraka'Lahou fikh right at the moment when I'm talking to you I'm in an anime rehab session (and this since this Ramadan) despite the temptations here and there alhamdulilah I'm trying to hold on.

So I stopped reading them as well as music, movies and series.

Im an adult and still watch anime. Im careful of what I watch. But this is same reason i stopped watching movie series
MasyaAllah, and good news Japan revert rate to Islam is rising now
We Muslims need to watch this in this era of Fitnah ALLAH brings ease for you
This is fair criticism, I think great opportunity for Muslims to rediscover Japan's forgotten history of Islam before WWs. How do we help Japanese unless we realize how much we share so much human interaction pre-European contact.
Plus, Muslims need to be their own voice in asking for better from Anime industry & other Japanese lead industries if we continue to be big partner to Japan. We don't want to be like those addicts, We dont want to worship others, they need to have some type of appropiate goods & services where we dont have to compromise. Less living images more aesthetic designs that can adopted into our own Muslim background. it takes time but i am hopeful that Anime will have sub-niche for us to make ourselves home but compared to Hollywood & animation industry in the West, Japanese have better medium to speak to connecting Muslim audiences compared to the West.
Nobody can understand animes unless they return to their childhoods.
Okay, sheikh, but what can you say specifically about Studio Ghibli's and Hayao Miyazaki's works in Heidi: the Girl of the Alps, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle?
Even such more kid-friendly animations can contain some doughtful dialogues in it.
Like when Muska mentions Sodom and Gomorra in Laputa, or when Satsuki and Mei greet the statue while hiding from raining in Totoro.
Or if the translators of Ponyo translate the Granmamare as "sea goddess" instead of, for example, "sea queen", which would be more like a fairy-tale, rather than a Shinto reference.
Anike in its essence is haram, there is probably free mixing in those anime you mentioned, no covering up of the women and girls, music and alot more, so don't know if yo are Muslim or not but the same ruling for movies/TV shows is applied for anime and in some cases the anime is worst then tv shows. Haram is haram, you may be able to fool yourself, but can't fool Allah, brother. Islam is extremely clear in what's halal an haram and it's exceptions
@AbayBentin I'm speaking normally aside from the typos and yes we as MUSLIMS should not waste our time watching haram. You seem like a troll so I don't know about you
Before someone should ever even try to watch anime, they must know that they must not be influenced. And God is the supreme being that can not be overthrown.Good preaching great Prophet of Allah.
But now islam is the most growth religion right there in 🇯🇵
Thank you as of this i will quit watching anime myself and with my friends
There is also the similar issue of video games, one of them is very popular and many muslims play it, it is literally a game praising buddha where your character prays to buddha to save the game. It would be a good idea to ask a scholar or ustadh if playing it is kufr-akbar, because of how dangerous this is.
Ofcourse brother who is pressing the button for this act

I wanted to try making a mod for that game to remove the idolatry elements, but... it was a bit beyond my ability.
Yeah games like God of war and genshin impact are example of that. However, games such as subnautica and minecraft(as long as you dont eat pork in game as well) is fine right?
@@fevad1246 I think applying rules to minecraft is a little overkilll but it makes complete sense. Like, we can comprehend it is a video game and in sha allah we are not influenced by it.
May Almighty Allah increases our noble sheik in knowledge and preserve him upon khair
the moment that spacetoon stopped the anime world became shiter.
my love to the channel space-toon they really made use the men of the future 🙏🏿🙏🏼
yes spacetoon is the best! They make sure to stream shows with a good moral, and they make sure to censor nudity and athiesm (by changing the character story a bit)
May Allah shower you with an abundance of His mercy
Imagine saying One Piece doesn't spread good morals or character. The main character is light hearted and unbelievably loyal to his family and friends and cannot stand evil. Japan is also known to be the country with the most polite people, who put a lot of care into their work. It's easy to point fingers at one thing for being the cause of spiritual decay but this really isn't it.
Saudi have direct relationships with America who are committing the most evil acts imaginable, just so Saudi can stay an economic powerhouse. They make all their money from oil which is directly causing the earth to be destroyed at a rapid rate. Absolute hypocrites.
the sheikh didnt really mention one piece specifically, but the fact that you thought of OP means you think it has those messages,
Some are good some are not. But me if I watch anime I love the character who are not side from bad. I still watch it but only I love the kindness and warm part from anime but it develops me to be kind. Defend someone being bully by anyone doesn't matter if u Muslim or not. This is me. What I want to say Only God know me well
But you forgot to mention that there are also a bunch of instances in Japan(atleast what I know of) that women get s#xually abused by degenerate men, and One Piece has a lot of women that has big bosoms, wears revealing clothes, and there are also scenes that show their full body except their private parts, this gives a lasting impression on the women and men, affecting women by making them think that that is normal, and watering the seed of lust that is planted in men's mind. There is also Sanji and other characters who are p#rverts(which sort of normalizes that kind of behaviour)
Lol One Piece does not spread good. There is so much degeneracy in there. Nami literally became a hentai character out the blue from being flat chested in the beginning to randomly growing a massive pair of knockers and the directors constantly flashing them in your face. Then there's characters like Ivankov which are literal transvestites/drag Queens. And more recently there's Yamato (Kaido's daughter) who is a trans character and identifies as a male. Whilst I as a grown man still watch anime, this video has got me thinking about introducing it to my young children.
I do get your points about Saudi but you can treat this video in isolation and appreciate the points made on the dangers of anime. Also, it is worth highlighting the suicide rate in Japan and linking it with Atheism, there may be a correlation there with unhappiness in their hearts due to the lack of aqeedah and tawhid.
You bro really think Saudi =Islam when it literally imprisons Sheikhs who speaks against them, sure it has one of the most important holy places and where holy quran was send that's it's linked to islam
Saudi and it's ?? politics aside beside it celebrating Halloween in Riyadh season
It is said in the quran, there is no sin worse than worshipping other than God
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَىٰ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا (48)
Also mentions that if you sin after شرك (worshiping other than God) or do good work, it will be meaningless
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Oh and anyway, people in east asia tends to be polite to satisfy how society look to them and judge them, many social experiments were done asking some why are they what they are -like one of a british asking asians to take a picture for him, asians tends to perfect it while Europeans complains and ignore- many asians in the comments clarify (we do it for the sake of people view towards us🤣)
Also,we muslims, our goal and work is the after life before working for this Duniah, so it is only natural to see success in this World, fame and economic superiority in the hand of Kufar and Hypocrites
Oh one interesting note, Arabs≠muslims, I remember that the world's most number of muslim was Afghanistan and it's non Arab
He speaks the truth actually 👍
My man literally said
"Japan has no good character"
This is exactly the problem with wahhbi scholars,
1.Japan has high unaliving rates mostly due to toxic work culture, inability to get women to Marry, society in general and honour models that arw bad
2.Japan has good values, anybody that had been there will witness to this, infact most of their shops are left unguarded.
3.Japan has the highest rate of conversion to islam in secular countries.
The question is
"Is Anime haram to watch"
The question isnt
"Is going to japan haram"
Someone needs to have this scholar visit countries and this question is appropriate for Shaykh assim al hakim as his answers take every perspective.
He didnt say going there is haram though! you seem to like japan, I love japan too and wish to go someday, however you cant deny that these things are haram.
1 is true but he mentioned it because they dont follow their religion with full faith. When a person has faith and is struggling in life, he or she will pray and usually become a better believer to recieve help from Allah swt. Allah is the only one who knows a persons faith. If a person doesnt have faith, he or she become dependent on obsession (smoking, drinking, movies or whatever) just to not think of or deal with their struggles.
2 true they have good values and so do other countries, each is different, but now anime dont focus to represent them as something to teach viewers, old anime used to. now the bad things are more than the good things.
3 true hopefully things change and we fans also do not get really attached to anime, it is dunya after all.
also this is something unrelated:
4 theres this perception that japanese people are fully polite and accepting, but they actually judge and complain just like any other human. I really love their culture, i just wish this "politeness" culture doesnt stress them out
I agree with a lot of what the sheikh said but its definitely not all anime. I grew up watching those Arabic dubbed anime on Spacetoon, such as Remi, which have great messages for all ages and are a great way to teach kids important life lessons and values, such as being grateful for what you have and your parents.
A lot of modern Anime definitely have fanservice and haram stuff, but its not all. There are many out there, it just requires being diligent in choosing what to watch.
Anime is not Haram rather it is nonsense, all that it amounts to is temporary amusement, distraction, and waste of time.
If you keep denying this to your grave, you have only yourself to blame.
Shaytan says "So do not blame me, blame yourself." "I had no power over you except that I invited you."
temporary amusement ? yeah so are movies and comic books and other stuff, what do you do in your free time then ?
Life is also temporary amusement. Same for family. So stop focusing on those two things. Only focus on religon. Nothing but religon.
@@Shockload By الله I do not watch movies or such, I only do deeds that benefit me.
@@Shockload I keep myself away from those which was created by disbelievers, and I do not go with the flow of the disbelievers.
@@User_internet960 Life is temporary, but spending time with family is not a waste of time, watch what words or comments you make without any knowledge of it.
Maa ch'Allah This voice resembles that of sheikh Mohamed moctar al shinkiti
I'm a muslims, most of the animes was not made for kids and most of the animes doesn't contain sexual content and homosexuality like shonen anime for example and i don't see a problem for me to watch anime as long as it doesn't affect my faith and it doesn't distract me from praying and reading the quran and such so i don't know why he's talking about watching anime like it's a disease that should be treated
Quite right A lots of Anime To teach us about felling and friends and family
It isn't just anime, it's all forms modern entertainment. Even if there might be some shows that don't have anything that disagrees with the aqeda and are just neutral towards it, it's just since the stuff with the immortality is what sells it's the one you'll see most common, so we still can't tell people "oh it's fine as long as you watch something with no bad things in it". May Allah guide us all and I hope in the future we will have more Muslims create safer and more beneficial forms of entertainment for us so we can get rid of the western brainwashing from our communities.
People don’t realise or understand what effect anime or even western media has on pasyche
Barak'Allahu Feek Akhi
اللهم احفظنا وشبابنا من الظل الالحاد والشواذ
MashaAllah, well explained Shaikh
Instead of watching anime you could be reading Quran.
What is that going to do? LOL. You could be reading actual books. Scientific books, medical books, engineering books, philosophical books, and so on. It’s like saying you could read red riding hood or three little pigs. Same exact concept.
@@Bane03XAre you a kafir?! To any Muslims reading this, most scientific books promote false and haram ideas, and philosophy is completely harm. Meanwhile the Quran is a physical and spiritual cure, and ones gets 10 hasana for each letter read!
Bro you should not be talking bc you lesson and post music you could lesson to Quran better than listening to these things that destroy your faith
This the kinda of comment that I don’t like read “Qur”en Instead”… which actually drives people away.
You should read the Quran regardless not as replacement.
By the way you could do both
Watch anime
And read the Quran

Small correction

No its millions!
(Still bad tho)
If I can say my point of you, I think it really depends from person to person. For example, me watching Anime made me more motivated to follow my deen and be strong person by going to the gym and take care of the body that Allah swt gave me. Still doesn;t make it halal, but not everyone growing up watching anime will become atheist, I grew up watching Dragon Ball and all the other animes my generation grew up with, and I still watch them today and they made me the Muslim I am today Alhamdulillah. It's all about perspective and HOW you look at things at the end of the day.
You take anime as guidance? You take atheistic dogma as a way of life?
Why is it so hard to admit it's a sin?
Dragon ball is filled with haram material and elements.
Do not lie. Western anime, films, series, etc. are not designed for Muslim peoples, but rather for Western culture and peoples. Stop lying and act as if the whole world is revolving around you.
As a caucasian man from a western country, I made Hijrah to East Asia to protect my son.
Your display name 😳
Not children only. I'm a proud adult who watches anime.
Same. Like Fr what the hell is this bullshit
Are you guys even muslim?
@@cyberWarrior7519 can I know how do you know whether someone is muslim or not?
Depends on the anime. Some shows like attack on titan does not have bad morals.
Maybe you aren't looking deep enough.
I love watching one piece, but shaykh has points. One piece is guilty of everything he said!
@mnhakimi what’s nakama? In one piece nami ends up having big boobs. And there’s a whole island of gay and trans guys.
Wallahi I'm not finished watching the video but i already see the Sheikh's point.
it has always confused me how the Japanese have such admirable qualities like respect, cleanliness and teamwork, which shows in their anime, but still commit so much suicide. Allah's guidance is king, not that of society.
it's their work culture that made them stessed out and commit suicide
kinda sad
Me too I never understood it
@@zakyfahmi-zafahexe8785 yeah, and their exceptionally demanding education, and lots of other things.
Well NGL but watching anime and songs , movies, video games, tv serial, dancing, musical instruments everything is haram .
One piece is peak fiction tho
I hope the Japanese are not offended, the Sheikh is talking with good intentions and facts. We've seen the destructive effects of such values spread in Anime in their society before ours. Just a while ago I've read a light novel that turned into Anime, surely Japanese, where the Hero with "superpowers" is serious about turning his father "to ashes" and "killing" his mother for the sake of his sweetheart!!! And that was supposed to be cute!!!! It was my first Japanese novel and my first Japanese Anime and I was already snorting over the "superpower" parts but, that talkimg of burning and killing was shocking tbh! Probably the first LN and Anime I'd read and watch and the last! Pure nonsense.
What he said is kinda true. Children are easily influenced by randoms things so, try showing them anime made for kids like beyblade, doraemon, digimon and teach them well. Then after a certain age through good guidance nothing can influence them. They can then watch whatever they want because they then become grown ups who have strong imaan in Allah :)
Me I watch, anime like slice of life, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell paradise, Solo leveling that's the anime I watch and because of that I have abstained from drugs, violence, alcohol and any other bad stuff out there and I am Leaving a normal live, I respect what you're saying but other animes reflects on life people are trafficking kids for sexual entertainment and is the least people worry about so.....
Thank You
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Not sure if its a problem from my side but there is no audio.
وعلیکم السلام ورحمتہ اللہ وبرکاتہ
Audio is present on my side
Try increasing the volume
You must be hearing from only the left earbud .in my headphones only the right side is working for some reason
Yes. The audio is left-sided only.
People who can hear it, their headphones hear left-side audio on both sides.
I agree with most of what sir has said. However, I would like to add some things which might come off as geeky but, please do read.
Not all anime is bad. Some are good and actually help you in real life. However, these anime mostly cater to understanding minds, mostly mature audiences. For example, Vinland Saga. Such anime teach valuable life lessons.
I will not deny the fact that most anime these days are filled with fanservice and immorality. The stories are highly disgusting especially some genres being completely for degenrate audiences. But, there's always an exception. The anime I mentioned, Vinland Saga, mostly teaches you about war and peace. It teaches you pacifism which is also a major teaching of our Prophet (PBUH). There are many philosophical and intellectual concepts that will stimulate your thoughts and shape you into a better and more virtuous human being. Moreover, I have overcome my anime addiction, which is paradoxical. Typically, anime tends to engross viewers, fostering a desire for more and consuming precious time.
What I'm basically saying is that it's up to you which sort of entertainment you want to consume. Immorality, filth or, life lessons, inspirational.
And Allah knows the best.
But the thing is... Anime is not for kids...
It is and those who watch it until they are old, they are not okay in the head have childish character
@@ahmadfrhan5265 argumentatively, depending on what anime/show are you referring too. Obviously not all shows are perfect but some actually really delivers good values.
@@ahmadfrhan5265 so you're saying Berserk is for kids ? your ignorance is baffling ?
But kids do watch it, that's the reality
I'm 15 and idk how many anime episodes I watched in the past 4 years. It's also extremely addictive and can get someone emotionally traumatized in some extreme cases.
@@muslimninja9017 ofc kids watch it, everybody does, that's why they have age restrictions on each anime raning from PG and PG13 to R17 and R18+
Jazakallah khair
Man das tuff😭 video on anime is wild
Protect you heart by dhikr and dua. Morning evening. Be consistent until it becomes clear this non sense
May Allah forgive us to writing this on a comment section.
I don't know if watching anime is either halal or not, but it's the kind of fitnah. But how and why? Some kind of people are idolizing an anime character because the director tries to make graphics and storylines more beautiful than paradise (actually paradise or jannah is better and beautiful than their misconception) during production. Those kind of people are some TH-camrs. I saw every thumbnails of TH-cam videos, which shows that the TH-camrs are calling a male or female anime character "god". Astagfirullah! Why didn't they realize that Allah (SWT) is only their one god? Imagine, this may be the sign of qiyamah! May Allah give hidayah to those TH-camrs who are doing this shirk or kufr. Amin.
