Brothers and sisters in Islam,
today's
has to do
with the future
of our deen,
the future of the Ummah,
the future of
the Islam
in America,
in the western world.
Because a lot of the parents today,
they are leaving their children behind.
When they were young, they are bringing them
to the Masjid.
But now, maybe because they are they are
teenagers,
because they've reached 18,
they've
graduated.
They don't worry about them again.
My brothers and sisters in Islam,
our last one says,
in order for us to know that it
is our responsibility,
Save yourself and your household
from the hellfire that will be prepared
with rock and human beings.
And if you look at many ahadith of
prophet Muhammad
teaching us how to train our children,
he said,
Ask your children to pray.
Command them to go and pray
when they are 7 years old,
which means that they must have known how
to pray
when they are 7 years old.
What?
And prophet Hassan said,
and swoop them,
beat them
when they are 10 years old
and they didn't pray.
These are the teachings of prophet Muhammad, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
on how to make sure
that our children,
they are
the best of what we can be thinking
about
by the time we live we love this
world.
Brothers and sisters brothers and sisters in Islam,
among the signs
and identity
for the Muslim Shabaab
that we must see in them,
we must see in our Shabaab
iman.
As they are growing, let us see iman
in them.
If you don't see iman in them,
it means we are having a lot to
do.
Allah
says,
in the home,
They have strong belief in their Lord,
in Allah.
If our children are not there,
they are not among those.
They're their youth.
They're shabab,
and they're still practicing Islam.
It means that we have a lot of
work to do.
Our children,
our youth,
they are the future of this.
They are the manera of Islam in the
future.
As we are struggling, we are training them.
We are spending our time, our energy
on how to become,
engineers,
pharmacists,
doctors.
Let's try to
make efforts
for them to be leaders for the.
If you remember our
dua, what we said,
Oh, Allah.
Bestow among
our spouses
and our offerings.
The joys of our hearts.
And make us leaders for the.
May Allah
make it easy for all of us that
iman that we are talking about.
When the last
says in the Quran,
We have to fear Allah
the way it should be feared,
not the way
we do it because I'm an America.
Not the way our children will do it
because they are in America. They are growing
in America.
We have to be reinforcing it into the
earth,
into the mind of our children.
The Talat says,
Never die
except in the state of being Muslims.
Many of the youths today,
when they are growing up, they are Muslims.
But immediately,
they become
somebody else
that has been working, that has been making
a lot of money. If you ask them
about Islam, they say, no. You know where
my father used to be, but what are
you doing now?
Just try.
No.
It means that we have we're still having
a lot of work to do.
May Allah
make it easy for all of us.
Remember Hadith of prophet Muhammad when
he said
make use of 5 things before 5 things
setting.
And then what prophet Muhammad
mentioned was
Now that you are young,
you're youthful
age,
make use of it
before you you become
old.
Let us help our youth.
Help them
on how to become,
more menin,
how to become saliheen,
how to become Muslimin
when they are young
so that by the time they are old,
they will still remember Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Brothers and sisters and some,
as
fathers and mothers,
it is our responsibility
to play that role.
Remember the hadith of prophet Muhammad al SAW
that says,
Al
Muhammad
mentioned that
they are ima
the imams.
They are.
And Allah will ask them,
and he said that
the man in his house is.
You are a shepherd.
And Allah
will ask you in the day of how
you directed
the affairs
of
your sheeps.
May Allah make it easy for all of
us.
We have to remind us that
in this era that we are living,
many of our of our youth,
some of them,
they've been taking
all these drugs.
They've been drinking.
They've been committing
adultery.
They've been doing all divorces.
We have to make sure
and teach our children
that anything that is haram is haram.
When you are with me, it is haram.
When you are not with me, it is
haram.
And under this, our prophet Muhammad, salaam.
He said,
will
be amazed
with that that
youth
that is far away
from all the bad habits
that many people are
used to today.
They'll be far away
from all the shuzud
and any help.
May
Allah save us from all this. Brothers and
sisters in Islam,
it is our responsibility
that we have to teach our children
to
be multisiming
since when they are young.
And all of us who've been taking our
children to the Masjid,
let's continue to do that.
Remember,
hadith of prophet Muhammad
that says
about those that will be under the shade
of Allah.
He says,
7
people that Allah will put on a shed
in the day of when
there will be no shed except the shed
of Allah.
And
Among them
are the youth
that grows in.
Please,
it's never too late. If our children are
not with us in the,
let's try to whip them up.
Let's try to carry them along,
especially for we that we are young,
that our children are still young.
From now, let's start taking time to go
to the Masjid,
teaching them how to pray,
teaching them the right thing of our deen.
May
Allah make it easy for all of us.
Another point that we need
to raise here today
is about
for us to encourage our children that have
grown,
that have reached the age of poverty,
to try and marry.
And when they marry, they marry the Muslim
or Muslim.
Prophet Mohammed Hassan said,
is.
Prophet Muhammad said,
let him go and marry.
And if he cannot marry,
let him be fasting
because with that,
he'll be able to lower his game more,
and he'll be able to prove to save
his private part from committing adultery.
Among what we have to mention today,
another calamity that we are falling into
is that we are having a lot of
our brothers
that are married to non Muslims.
And they said, don't worry. She she got
happy thing, whatever.
So Farid Islam says that, you can marry
them.
Professor Sun says you can marry them. Let
them let let let it be.
No. It's not the best for you.
The best thing for you is to marry
a Muslim
because
exclaim that he's even black,
and he's a Muslim.
It's better than for you to marry a
non Muslims.
Anytime the Muslims marry a non Muslim, the
result will be,
after a while, all the children will go
to church,
or they don't know anything about Islam.
And the worst
of what has happened today
is that we have seen
some of our Muslim girls,
they are married to Christians,
which is haram haram haram.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
we need to work hard
and make sure
that we direct
all these affairs
in the right way.
Prophet Muhammad
If somebody comes to you,
and he's a Muslim, he said,
The one that you are pleased with is
deen.
Not because that is making over $100,000
a year.
Not because he's working in so so so
place.
Not because it's this.
Just because he has deal.
First thing we do,
marry him your daughter.
May Allah
make it easy for all of us. And
prophet Muhammad Sallallahu said, for we,
the brothers too,
when he said,
you mentioned the Germania,
Linessa Bia,
Wahasabia,
Walidinia,
Faruba to be that deen.
You're married because of beauty,
because of family,
veteran,
because of her wealth.
And Ras Hassan said, are you married because
of the deen?
Far far far be that deen?
Hold on
to the one that has deen.
May Allah
make it easy for
