Darkness is actually the absence of light. It is so weak that the moment you switch on the light, it goes away. As long as the sun is shining, there is no night. The moment the sun sets, darkness spreads.
Truth is light, and falsehood is darkness. Whatever falsehood we see around us, it is because of the absence of truth. Falsehood is weak and it cannot survive against the strength of truth.
The common excuse nowadays is, “I cannot protect myself anymore because the attractions and temptations are too many.” The reality is that we need to sincerely switch on the light of Salaah, Qur’an, Zikr and Dua in our lives and then see the darkness of music, dancing, forbidden relations, intoxicants, gambling and television leave our lives.
