The Psychological Weapon: How Modern Media and Education Corrupt the Mind
Assalamu Alaikum brothers.
How are you? I hope you are doing well. By looking at the title, you have probably already understood what today’s topic is. Entertainment and education—these two words are not ordinary things; both are important for humanity today. Education is the backbone of a nation. Especially for Muslims, gaining knowledge is obligatory and mandatory. Which is contained within the meaning of education itself. And to remove boredom and refresh people’s minds, entertainment has become extremely popular.
But have you ever thought about whether people in the real world are actually gaining knowledge properly through education, or whether it is some dangerous trap of the devil? In the same way, is this thing called entertainment really giving people healthy entertainment, or is this also some dangerous trap of the devil? So let’s go into the detailed discussion. And please read the discussion patiently.
Entertainment: The Ultimate Weapon of the Devil
Entertainment. For generations upon generations, we have known this word entertainment as something that has kept people mentally and even physically fit and strong. Many types of entertainment are common in our society. Physically, sports are a very effective form of entertainment. And mentally, through various modern platforms such as television, mobile phones, laptops, computers, the internet, and different types of funny and enjoyable dramas, series, videos, sports, songs, and more have become very popular among us.
But sadly, nowadays these healthy forms of entertainment have become a curse for people. People are benefiting less from them and being harmed even more. Humanity is even facing destruction today.
The popular forms of entertainment among us have become the main tools for spreading the devil’s ideology, activities, thoughts, deception, and moral decline.
Now think carefully for a moment—is that really happening? Look around a little. Today we will learn how some famous entertainment platforms became these tools.
1. Dramas, Series, Web Thrillers, Movies
Nowadays, Western dramas, web thrillers, series, movies, and films are extremely popular. Their action scenes seem very entertaining and serious. But there is a big trap inside this entertainment. If you notice, you will see that most harmful devilish ideologies are promoted and presented through movies. For example, women’s rights, free mixing, unrestricted sexual relationships, women being stronger than men, and so on.
For example, take Money Heist. Whether it is 18+ or not, people are still watching it. So for those under 18, this web thriller is distorting their minds. How?
First of all, it is a web thriller centered around theft and robbery. As a result, the younger generation becomes attracted to these kinds of web thrillers and tries to apply those movies or web thrillers in real life. Meaning, because they are attracted to them, and since the web thriller presents theft and robbery in a supportive way and shows them as heroic, young people start thinking these things are good and heroic in real life too, and become involved in professions like theft and robbery. Because their minds become completely centered on and attracted to the movie.
And because these types of web thrillers appear very realistic, many ideas, methods, and hidden techniques are learned from them, making professional criminals even smarter.
And the second thing is that in web series like Money Heist, most of the clothing is indoor-style, which creates distorted desires in the minds of viewers. Besides that, many parts directly show incidents of illegal sexual relationships. Which destroys the morality of viewers. As a result, people apply those things in real life. And in this way, a society becomes involved in zina.
Besides that, ideologies like women’s rights are also there, which further destroy society.
So now you understand why this type of entertainment is considered a tool of the devil for destroying humanity.
2. Songs
This is another major tool. Songs are one of the most popular forms of entertainment. For mental peace and enjoyment, almost everyone usually listens to some type of music. However, nowadays some popular songs spread the ideology of the devil.
For example—there are some songs that promote the devil, promote worship of the devil, and even associate partners with Almighty Allah. As a result, people’s minds become shaped toward satanic thinking and people become misguided.
Again, there are many romantic songs that directly promote sexuality, which creates distorted tastes in people. Besides that, there are many songs that promote anti-religious secularism, women’s rights ideology, and atheism, causing people to listen to them and lose their conscience and accept those ideas that are seen as destructive to humanity.
Besides that, one of the major problems in today’s world is the spreading of ideology and culture.
You know about BTS, right? Although people generally like them for their music, later it moves toward transgender influence. Especially if men become addicted to them, they consider these BTS members as role models and try to imitate them and become half-ladies, meaning transgender.
If you notice, the walking style and behavior of these BTS stars are not masculine in any way. However, girls are more attracted to them, and men become attracted to female K-pop groups from their country such as BlackPink.
As a result, their revealing gestures and presentation lead to moral decline among men and zina spreads in society. And because women become addicted to BTS, they also want to become like them, so they begin adopting distorted clothing and behavior in society, which directly pushes women toward being treated like products.
Many traffickers take advantage of this by promising meetings with BTS and then traffic people to other countries.
3. Sports
You may be surprised to know that even healthy entertainment as popular as sports has now become a cause of destruction for people. Nowadays, the harm people face through sports is greater than the entertainment they receive. What kind of harm? Then let’s dive in once again.
Take the FIFA World Cup 2026 for example. A few days ago, this major tournament began. Now football lovers are very excited. Because of excessive attachment, they are taking entertainment too seriously. And you can already see the result. People are getting into fights and conflicts over which team’s player is better. As a result, different kinds of disorder are being created in society, and people’s normal lives are being affected.
Besides that, various events are arranged to make the game more attractive, which increases excitement even more. When this World Cup started, different types of dance and music performances were held at the opening ceremony. And as you know, according to this view, Western culture is considered low in standard. So they performed dances that were seen as vulgar and inappropriate in that opening ceremony. As a result, the connected audience around the world watched those things.
Now think about one thing—these dances are shown in the name of entertainment to make the event more attractive, but because people are being shown things considered inappropriate, how much moral decline and distorted thinking can be created.
Because of this, men’s minds become distorted and morality declines, and women are also encouraged to present themselves and be used like products of entertainment. These types of dance and music are seen as leading women toward zina and immorality, while also creating distorted tastes and moral decline among men.
And people are being made to watch these programs for free as entertainment. Through this entertainment, according to this view, the ideology of the devil and satanic influence are being promoted among humanity.
Although imperial powers also enjoy entertainment and earn extra income from it, inside it there is what is described as a poisonous method of destroying humanity. And it is spread completely in a psychological way.
Besides that, whether it is football or cricket, people are taking games seriously instead of as entertainment. As a result, because of excitement, they easily become involved in gambling through large betting websites. In this way, people bring major harm to themselves, while large betting companies become richer and richer.
There are even many stories where supporters sacrificed their lives while putting up flags and banners for their teams. But that did not bring any benefit or loss to that team. Instead, that person’s family became helpless and mentally broken.
As a result, society is being destroyed in this way. And taking advantage of that, imperial powers are spreading the ideology of the devil.
You may be surprised to know that, according to this claim, the current World Cup introduced a service called sex trade for viewers, where the main idea is that viewers would use sex workers to satisfy their desires. Which is presented as another stage of moral decline. Through this, women are being treated as products, while men are developing mental lust and distorted tastes.
And this is also being connected to football events. As a result, deadly sexually transmitted diseases like HIV are spreading quickly and humanity is being harmed.
So now you understand how sports have become a poison for people today.
Video Games
One of the main forms of entertainment in the digital age is video games. But this has become an even bigger tool than entertainment for spreading the activities of the devil.
Nowadays, famous battle royale games such as PUBG, Free Fire, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Valorant, and many others are spreading a lot of obscenity. The characters and costumes in these games are designed with different revealing and inappropriate styles, which are considered highly vulgar.
And since these games are very enjoyable to play, people may enter for entertainment at first, but later it turns into addiction. As a result, people’s minds become influenced and those revealing dress styles in the games begin to seem normal or beautiful to them. Because of this, according to this view, imperial powers are able to spread these things into real life more easily. Which is considered one of the reasons for moral decline.
An even more serious issue is that these games are said to bring different anti-Islamic events and shape people’s minds in ways that later lead people, unknowingly, against Islam in real life. According to this view, especially since 2020–2021, these games have continuously promoted anti-Islamic events, and because people become attracted to them, they accept them and their mindset is influenced.
In short, these games are described as a major psychological trap of the devil. Gambling and fighting are also included in them. And these games were originally introduced as entertainment.
Social Media and Pornography
According to this view, because of the ideology of women’s rights promoted by imperial powers, many women today present themselves in revealing ways on social media. As a result, they become treated like products, and at the same time moral decline happens among men.
Besides that, some people directly promote different porn websites, which further damages people’s morality. In addition, many sex workers advertise themselves like products, which, according to this view, harms both men and women in society.
Final Words / In Short:
People never get involved in these trends or bad actions in the name of entertainment by their own intention. They only enter to enjoy entertainment. But people get trapped in the deception of the devil and become involved in different wrong actions.
Sports, games, movies, social media, songs—these things themselves do not have any fault. These are originally meant for healthy and educational entertainment and for helping people. Through sports, gaming, e-sports, songs, and similar fields, hundreds of thousands of young people have created employment for themselves. Which is truly praiseworthy.
But worshippers of the devil and imperialists use these healthy forms of entertainment as their own tools. As a result, people face more harm than benefit.
Even if I tell you to stay away from these wrong actions and only take entertainment, the devil deceives people. So I request that you please choose entertainment in a way that does not deceive you, and that benefits you mentally, physically, and financially.
You may play football, cricket, e-sports while maintaining your morality—I have no problem with that. Just do not accept the ideology of the devil. And if you cannot do that, then temporarily stop taking entertainment. Because do not bring destruction upon yourself in the name of entertainment.
Now let us come to education.
Education: Another Weapon of the Devil
Education is the backbone of a nation. The main purpose of education is to gain knowledge. And for knowledge, there is no substitute for reading books.
But what if that book gives you bad knowledge instead of good knowledge?
People usually buy books to gain knowledge. Now if an atheist writer expresses anti-religious ideas through literature, poetry, or stories, then those who read those books may become influenced and move toward atheism.
Besides that, imperialists often present the ideology of the devil through different books. As a result, people move toward the devil.
Also, there are many writers who directly promote sexuality in the name of romance. As a result, it creates distorted tastes among readers and causes moral decline.
Besides that, by reading some writers’ books, people become involved in activities such as acts against the state, which is considered highly harmful for the country and nation.
Nowadays, according to this view, books are spreading ideologies such as women’s rights, sex education, and homosexuality. Not only that, but under the name of sex education, unrestricted sexual relationships are being directly promoted.
Which is considered one of the major causes of destroying human society.
In Short:
Education was never created to destroy people. Today, because education exists, people are able to gain knowledge. Even when powerful weapons did not exist, a pen of knowledge brought great revolutions against oppressors, which are carved into history today.
But to break this important backbone called education, the devil is turning it into a tool to spread his ideology.
So all of us should reject education that destroys society, the state, and humanity, and accept the kind of education that brings welfare to the nation and to people.
I will end here for today. We will meet again in another discussion.
Until then, everyone stay well.
