Youth are the asset of any nation. Small children and old people do not have the requisite strength and capability to do great things. However, the youth are perfectly endowed with strength and capability to complete missions. The changing of times does not put a dent in their courage and enthusiasm. But what would happen if the same youth forget their responsibilities?
TV has everything that is needed to destroy the character and more. Be it news, drama, film, ads or anything else, the TV screen is never free of indecency. Almighty Allah has ordered us to not even approach any indecency:
And do not draw near to shameful deeds (whether) open or hidden. Surah An‘aam-151
There are strict warnings for those who want to spread indecency. Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran:
Indeed those who like that lewdness should spread among the Muslims, for them is agonizing punishment in this world and in the Hereafter. And Allah knows (the intentions of such people) and you do not know. Surah Noor (24:19)
As lewd gazing leads to many sins, Almighty Allah has prohibited us from that.
There is a Hadith in Musnad Imam Ahmed:
Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Almighty Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Every part of the body plays its part in adultery. Eyes commit adultery and their adultery is by watching and seeing, hands commit adultery and their adultery is by holding and grasping, legs commit adultery and their adultery is by walking, the mouth commit adultery and their adultery is by kissing. The heart desires and lusts and the private parts confirm it and commit adultery or refuse it and refrain from adultery. (Musnad Imam Ahmed, Hadith No. 8752)
Young men are naturally attracted to women. When they see indecency, theirs minds are affected by it. These TV programs attack their minds multiple times in a day. Slowly, their young minds start relying on it for their enjoyment and satisfaction. The result is that their bodies and their minds become weak.
