00:00:08 --> 00:00:19
			of praises due to Allah Subhana Allah, we praise Him and we thank him and we seek refuge in Allah
Allah Buddha is that he will Jalon from the evils of our own selves
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			and we seek help from Allah alone.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:38
			My dear brothers and my dear sisters, I want to enjoin upon you the Taqwa of Allah azza wa jal, as
Allah tells us in the Quran, you will leadin Allah helper to party he will attempt to Nilla and
Thomas Freeman
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:46
			I have two messages for you. And these messages today are for the parents.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			And there's a lot that can be said. But I want to focus on two things.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:00
			And before that, I want to remind you, that your children my brothers, are but gifts from Allah.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:09
			Allah tells us of this in the Quran, when he says that you're heavily Manisha or Inessa.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:54
			Well yeah, bulimia shout with the Quran, that Allah gifts to whomever he wills female children's
children and Allah gifts to whomever He pleases male children. I will use a widow whom do Quran and
we're in artha or Allah azza wa jal chooses to give some people both males and females together. So
this is all a gift from Allah azza wa jal, he can either give you males he can give you females
Allah can choose to mix the two meaning he can give you males and females both right. Some people
are always longing for that daughter, but they don't get the daughter. It's a gift from Allah. Some
people are longing longing for the sun, but they don't get the sun.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			Others they want only one kind but Allah decides to give them both.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:46
			And then Allah azza wa jal tells us also, that when he Manisha Akima, and there are some people
Allah chooses to make them bear and they're not able to have children, they can't have children.
Their situation is as such, but he's not doing this because Allah azza wa jal is unable to gift and
grant to whom He wills. Allah says that Allah is a Lehmann cadet in Allah Alima. Allah is completely
capable, and Allah is completely knowledgeable as well as in the Hua Lehmann Kadir Allah is
completely capable, he has the realm, and he has the Quran as well. So he knows that for some
people, maybe the female children will be a test they cannot bear. For other people, the male
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:17
			children might put them through a test that they can't bear. For other people, maybe they're not
going to be able to handle the responsibility of progeny altogether. So Allah azza wa jal chooses
not to give to them in who are Lehmann Cadila. Allah is completely knowledgeable, he understands
everybody's private circumstance, he understands everyone situation he's not incapable of granting,
but Allah knows who to grant what to, and when to grant that person as well. Some people they live
through their whole life and they don't have wallet. They don't have children.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:04:06
			As the wife of our dear Prophet, Ibrahim Ali surrounded, she lived throughout out her whole life,
Sarah, and she was waiting for a child and she didn't get a child. But when she got to 99 years of
age, Allahu Bucha is at all Jalon he sent angels to Ibrahim and to surah and they gave her a glad
tiding and they gave her the glad tidings of Allah and Aleem. They gave him the glad tidings of the
fact that they will be granted a child will be very knowledgeable, to make up for all those years of
of wish and hope that they will become parents, my dear brothers and my dear sisters, this is a gift
from Allah. Accept the gift of Allah azza wa jal, but recognize that there are some responsibilities
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:16
			that come with this gift. As parents you have responsibilities. It's not just about the fact that
you have your child and that's the end of that, but there are responsibilities, and I want to focus
on one thing.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:49
			And if you do this, you end up benefiting your child, your progeny, and yourselves as well. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he told us in a hadith of bowrider Eslami the hadith is in
Muslim imam Yama den, it's an authentic hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that
on the head of a child who memorizes the Quran, who is the Sahaba Quran, and in some of the reports,
someone who memorizes the Quran as well.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that on the head of this child, Allah horrible is that
he was Jalon on the Day of Judgment
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			I will put the crown of serenity, dodge will walk on.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:11
			And the Prophet continued. And he said, Well, you were a leader who, who Latane
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:29
			La La you owe 100 Dunya, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he continued, and he said, that
the parents of this child will be dressed and clothed with a cloak, that will be so beautiful,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			that the entirety of the humanity cannot bring something like this.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			This is
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:23
			the virtue not of the person who memorizes the Quran, not of the person who learns the Quran, but
rather the parents of the child who chooses to learn the Quran. Why? Because most of the times,
people who learn the Quran they learn it when they're young, and who is the one behind them, who is
teaching them, who is following up with them, who is making sure that there's a schedule, who's
ensuring that they have the time and the peace to be able to do that. It is the parents, my dear
brothers, it is you. You are the one who can add the Quran into the lives of your children. You are
the one if you didn't have that nema. You didn't have that blessing during your lifetime. You can do
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:47
			it now. And you can give that blessing to your children. My dear brothers and my dear sisters,
because your child will be among the people who can intercede and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he said in a hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that the PERT the
example of the person who reads the Quran and memorizes the Quran,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:00
			prophets of Allah who sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he set the example of this person who's able to
do it flawlessly, who's able to do it perfectly, who's able to do it as best as possible. The
example of that person
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:41
			is the example of a being that is with the angels, not just average, angels must suffer until
caramel Bharara, he will be with the angels who are the most noble of all angels. And then the
example of a person who knows it, but doesn't really know it. He is trying to keep up with it, but
he can't do it. And usually that happens if you do it at an older age, as the Prophet told us In
another Hadith as well. Because when you have something that you learn as a child, it ends up
becoming established within your life. And you end up remembering it no matter how long if you did
it right the first time, you'll always be able to go back to it even if sometimes you forget, you
		
00:07:41 --> 00:08:19
			can always go back to it Repeat a few times and you can get it all back and the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said the second person who doesn't really have it down who doesn't really have it
fully done, who doesn't have it protected, perfected, but he's trying, maybe he's busy with this and
busy with that, but then he goes back whenever he gets the chance starts reading, maybe he's unable
to pronounce certain things, recollect certain things the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he
said, such person will be given two rewards, one for trying and one for attaining whatever he had
attained. But that doesn't mean he's like the one who's perfected. Never the one who's perfected.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:09:04
			That's another level. That's a person who spends his whole life with the Quran. Those people are
very special. They're different, but those who try nonetheless they will be also granted a reward by
Allah Allah azza wa jal, listen to this hadith my brothers, because you and I all have children. If
you don't implement this today, then you lost the opportunity. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he said in a Hadith also authentic, very rarely mentioned and quoted. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam he said, that mentor alum Al Quran, fee shall be better he whoever learns the
Quran, while he's a young man, or a young woman, if tolerable, Quran will be like me here with me.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:52
			The Quran becomes mixed into his blood and into his flesh as well. It becomes part of him, it
becomes part of her, no matter what happens even if time goes by, they can always go back and
recollect it because they did it when they were children or when they were young. And when they had
that energy. The prophets have said let me continue with and he said, Woman to alemayehu Fie Kibera,
he and whoever learns it as he grows older, and he's become older, fell away and fell into Minho.
Then the Quran keeps leaving him. He tries, but leaves him he tries or she tries, but he forgets or
she forgets one thing and then forgets another, but the one who does it as a child, and that's why
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			those children of yours if you want the Quran in their lives, this is the time this is the
opportunity. Don't cheapskate
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:13
			In this particular domain, you can send send your children to all sorts of sports and you can send
them to cross training, and you can send them to everything and pay big bucks for that. You can send
them for martial arts.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:27
			But unless you get a teacher, and they sit with your child, and they teach them, and they regularly
do, so, you will not be able to give this nanometric your child, you will not be able to,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:33
			you can try, but you will not be able to fully have this netmail within the life of your child.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:11:09
			Yes, the Saturday schools are great. And we have a Saturday school here as well. Yes, the Sunday
schools are great, but that's part time, it's not going to work. If you really want the Quran
completely in the life of your child. You want them to learn how to read and hamdulillah maybe
they'll be able to accomplish that on a Saturday on a certain Sunday. If you do that part time than
the Quran will always be part time in the life of your child. You want the snare drummer, you want
to be that parent who has a child who's whose head is crowned with a crown of wakame.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			And they have to spend time
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:54
			you want to be that parent who on the day of judgment comes and Allah azza wa jal gives him a whole
Latane as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described, you want to be that parent that you
have to spend the time you have to spend the resources, you have to get yourself a teacher for your
children, you have to make sure that you are investing within the scope just as you're willing to
invest in all sorts of other scopes as well. You know, when you go to a teacher, when you go to a
teacher, and you want your children to learn martial arts, do you ever negotiate with the teacher
and you say, You know what, I can't pay 150 or $200, a week or three weeks or whatever else. But
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:05
			when you want to hire a teacher to teach your children, the Quran, I guarantee you every one is
going to negotiate. Because you don't really care for this Quran.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:24
			If you wish to have it, you would be doing this by any means necessary. If you wanted that crown for
your children, on the Day of Judgment, you would do anything, you would pay any price. If you wanted
to have that cloak on yourselves, you would do anything.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:13:12
			So if you want the Quran, you have to do anything for it. You want the Quran, you have to be willing
to pay any price. You want the Quran, you have to do it regularly. It has to be part of your life.
It has to be not a part time thing you need to make sure you're doing it on a regular basis. And of
course they could do it when they get older as well. But this would be a favor that you favored your
children with which they can never repay you for and that's why Allah Hara Bula is evil Jalil is the
one who will repay you, my dear brothers in my dear sisters. Another thing you will be doing for
your child by bringing the Quran within their lives is that you will make them among the people who
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:26
			will be under the shade of Allah azza wa jal on the Day of Judgment. The Prophet told us in that
very famous hadith of seven people that will be under the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment,
that shade of the Throne of Allah azza wa jal on the day of judgment.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:14:09
			And the prophets I said, Let me said, one of them is Shaban Nisha Fei Riba, that Allah, a young man
who grew up worshipping Allah azza wa jal, and what better worship can you ensure that your children
are doing than for them to be reading the Quran? So this reading of the Quran and prophethood all of
these things are usually given to people who are young, the Prophet, even more Abbas or the Allahu
taala. And he told us in a hadith, the Prophet sallallahu IDNA Abbas, he said, he said that Allah
had never sent a prophet, except that he was a young man. And he continued, and he said that a
person is never given knowledge except that he's a young man as well. Because at that time, you have
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:35
			the energy you have the ability, you're able to, to persevere, you're able to read you're able to
spend those extra hours. This is your opportunity. As your children are young, you establish good
habits within their lives. And you make sure that you give them this gift I ask Allah Subhana Allah
to make the Quran habia Kobina. When also during are SallAllahu ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala early
you are so heavy here.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:47
			Without him the love salatu salam ala Rasulillah Alhamdulillah Hamden UF in your AMA, who are you
Cafe owners either or so Allah Allahu Allah Sakina Mohamed Anwar Allah early he was gonna be here as
remain.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			But your brothers and my dear sisters, the second thing that I want to tell you about is I want you
to make dua for your children. Make dua for your children. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			He said in a hadith, he said that there are three to us, three to us that are always accepted. There
are three to us that will always be accepted.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:51
			What are those three of us? Or who are those three derives from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and one of them he said, what better way to inwardly deliver the, one of the three types of
donors that are accepted is the dua of the father for his child. So when you make dua for your
children, as parents, Allah, Allah azza wa jal accepts this too, and that's why the prophets of God,
they will all make dua, and you see, there are two people in the Quran about whom Allah Subhana
Allah, Allah says there there is a great example for us in those two. One of them is our Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:59
			left by the Quran, Allah confini rasool Allah azza wa jal, Hassan, this is when it comes to the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:52
			And then Allah also said that there's also a hacer una for us in Ibrahim when livina Ma, and also
the people that were with Ibrahim Ali Sarah. So there's a an example for us in the Prophet Muhammad
and there's also an example for us in Ibrahim Ali salaam, and Ibrahim Ali Salam used to make dua for
a progeny in many places in the Quran. Allah tells us in Surah tube Rahim Allah says that Ibrahim
had said what BJ had Bella than Amina. Oh Allah Bucha al hurdle, Bella Domina, oh Allah make this
land perfected, make this land peaceful, make it comfortable, make it easy, make it make it a place
of security incident serenity for the people. And he would say that, Oh Allah protect me. And also
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:38
			my children from ever worshipping other than you protect me and my children from worshipping the
idols, protect us from worshipping the idols. So this is a dua that Ibrahim Ali Salam is making for
his children. And he would say, or beat your honeymoon theme of Salah to Allah make me among the
people who established the prayer, and also from our children make people who establish the prayer
and oh Allah except my dua as well. And so Korea Ali Salam, he would make to as well. And he would
say that Oh Allah, give me a beautiful progeny. So they're all making dua for their children, and
they're always making dua that Allah azza wa jal grants them a beautiful progeny. But the Prophet
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:22
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he told us to the opposite effect as well, just as the dua of the
parents is accepted for the children. Similarly, the dua of the parents can be accepted against the
children as well. And there's a myth that people have, they say, You know what, I was just saying
that and I'm a parent, Allah knows my intention. That whiny the Prophet told us don't make dua
against your children. He literally said this, in a hadith were verbatim word for word, the prophets
Allah said, Let me said, Let the rule Allah and fusi come, don't make dua against yourselves. Why
not doesn't rule Allah, Allah decom. And don't make dua against your children. This is an authentic
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			hadith in Sahih. Muslim
		
00:18:24 --> 00:19:10
			to me to her against your children, when you make dua against your children, some of those highs are
accepted. And among the examples of that, is the example that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he gave us of three children who spoke while they're still in the cradle. He said that one of
them was isa Alayhis Salam, and one of them was the child that was with George H. And the story of
Jurij. Or George in English is that he used to be a used to be a person of worship from the
Israelites. And he was inside of his temple and he was worshiping Allah azza wa jal, when from afar
his mother came, and she said, Yeah, your age. Oh, George.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:34
			And so he said, hola, hola, amigos, el Salam, O Allah. Should I look at what my mom is saying? Or
should I continue to pray? Then he chose his prayer. The second day again. The mother came, and she
said, Yeah, your age. And then in some of the reports, she said, I'm your mother speak to me. So
George, he said, that
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:59
			Allahumma Emile Salatin, Oh Allah, should I choose my mother? Or should I use my shoes, my prayer.
So he chose his prayer. And the third day again, same thing happened. And Judah he chose his prayer
at that moment. The mother of Jurij. Jurij is a famous worshipper of Israel at that time, and they
are the people of the religion at that time as well. So
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:48
			The mother she said, Hola Hola. Hola to meet who had to Rhea who would you help me with that? Oh
Allah don't let this man die until you let him see the faces of the prostitutes. So some time went
by. And the bento is sort of in there we're speaking to one another. And some of them they said
Jura, he is such a beautiful man and he worships God. And one of one day this prostitute, she
overheard the conversation. And she said, You think he's a person of righteousness? I will show you
I'll make him fall. So they said, Okay, let's see if you can make him fall. She goes to his temple,
and she tries to make them fall, but he doesn't fall. So then she finds another man and commits Zina
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:58
			with that man, and this person was a shepherd. And she has a child from this relationship outside of
wedlock. And when she had this child,
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			she went to the people and she said, here's the proof that I made them fall.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:41
			So all of them are is sort of ill they went and they started breaking the Temple of Jurij, down one
brick at a time. And he was praying, he doesn't know what's happening. So he comes down, and he
looks at what's happening and they start beating him as well. And then he said, Tell me what
happened. He said, Your they said, you're asking us what happened. And here's a child you've had
outside of wedlock. And you tell us, you're a preacher, and you're, you're a person of worship and
this and that and the other. So he said, This is not my child, give me a minute. He went and started
making dua to Allah azza wa jal. Then he came back, and he poked that child in the stomach, and the
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:55
			child spoke. This was one of the three people three children who spoke in the cradle. Hadith in
Sahih, Muslim and the child he said that my father is the shepherd of the sheep.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:42
			So then they started apologizing to George. But what happened? He lost his reputation. There's a
scandal around him. People, all of the goodness that he had people, they started to look at him in
the wrong way. All of that, because the pain mother made against her child. If she was to go back to
herself after she saw what had happened, would she ever ever done that? Is there a parent who will
ever want to harm their own child? No parent who has a heart will ever want to do that. Don't make
dua against your children that do against your children is accepted, just as the dua for your
children is also accepted as well. I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to grant us children of
		
00:22:42 --> 00:23:32
			righteousness Allah humma Amin, I ask Allah Allah, Allah azza wa jal LAN to grant us children who
are righteous or bene habla and I mean, as wodgina was reacting to what your Tokina II mama Robina
