The speaker discusses the second commandment of Allah's subhana wa tada, which is to perfect one's conduct. The commandment is used to describe the way in which one conducts, including returning money and being a beiter. The "goodness" concept is not a complete lack of good behavior, but rather a result of having a goal and staying there. The importance of parents in shaping behavior is discussed, along with advice on making parents aware of the "good to nothing" quality.

			Whether it was iVh main, aluminium and Faro now in fairness Bhima alimta was in a maniac at
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:39
			the 10 commandments. Today we're looking at the second commandment Allah subhana wa tada says will
be lolly Dini Sana and with your parents you should do good with your parents you should do
		
00:00:40 --> 00:01:17
			is to perfect your conduct. exam is the perfect anything and everything you do in life. So when
Allah subhana wa tada gives us the commandment to perfect our content conduct with Allah subhanho wa
Taala he uses the term son, which has this connotation of goodness and beautification. So not only
do we have to do good to them, we also have to beautify that good towards them. Sometimes you can do
good things to people but you know the way you do it, it's not that good. So not only do you do the
good like let's say for example, you owe somebody some money, you return the money to them, but you
do it late, along with the fact that you're doing it late you end up you know, taking some of the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:53
			money and then you return half of it later on and so on and so forth. All of that because sometimes
people are of this nature, they don't want to return back what they've taken. inshallah you're not
that way in Sharla anyone you know is not that way. But the point is that that is there within
society when we're dealing with our parents. Not only do we do good to them, but we also perfect
that good so it comes out beautiful, it comes out with herson it comes out with beauty, that's the
way we're supposed to be with our parents. Now notice that Allah subhana wa tada says, it's an
accent, you know, the verb in the Arabic language has two different ways for us to use it we can say
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:33
			as an IB she was an attache, we can say as an addition he was an ADA he ended up doing good towards
that person. He ended up doing good with that person or with that concept. When Allah subhana wa
tada speaks about the parents in the Quran, and in multiple places. Allah subhanho wa Taala uses the
term be Sena be Allah subhana wa tada says, What bhiwadi daily Asana and with your parents do the
good. What's the difference between the two? See, when you see a person on the street, just walking
around, you know, you don't know him too well, but the person is poor. And you can see he's got a
problem. You can see he needs some help there. You take some money, you hand it over to him, even if
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:07
			you're going through a tough time you've done good, but you've done goodness towards him. That's it
after that, your relationship with him is no longer there anymore. You're not going to meet him,
you're not going to greet him, you're not going to talk to him ever again. That's it, you guys have
you know, unless you see him another spot, likely than not, you will not be able to meet him again
to do that good. But with appearance, Allah subhana wa tada says that goodness is not supposed to be
occurring once and that's where you stop. You know, when you have a goal. Whenever you have a goal,
you get to that goal and you stop right and that's why you use the term Isla del Sol de la isla
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:45
			mccannon Coca Cola, right, he ended up reaching to the spot, a loss of Hannah without SSID or Isla
villa. So your end goal is to motorolla that's what you're trying to reach. Right? When you end up
doing good to somebody. You do that good. If you allow use of the term ILA or you use the term ILA,
it's, you've done it and that's your goal you finished but the type of axon that Allah wants from
you towards your parents, for me towards my parents, from our parents, towards their parents and
from their parents, towards their parents and from our children towards us and so on and so forth.
is a type of good that sort of envelops the individual.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:04:16
			Well, being ye they need Asana and with your parents do the good so whenever your parents are there,
that goodness has to remain there is no end goal. So long as your parents are available. The
goodness remains and even after the parents are there that goodness remains as well. I asked Allah
subhanho wa Taala to give us a trophy to practice to convey notice Allah subhana wa tada puts the
concept of parents second to nothing but a lot of one on one to Allah Himself and He does that in
many places in the Quran, Wakata bucola tabula
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:40
			rasa and Allah subhanho wa Taala has decreed that you worship no one but Allah subhanho wa Taala
himself and that you do goodness to your parents. So next and no one is the rights of the parents
except Allah subhanaw taala that's it. That's the only person that after home the rights of rights
of the parents come before them is Allah subhana wa tada after Allah is the parents and this also
shows us something else.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:59
			And that is that Allah subhana wa tada is trying to tell you that if you are not able to do good to
your parents than likely you're not going to be able to do good to Allah subhana wa tada as well.
Why is that? Because Allah subhanho wa Taala did create you, Allah subhanho wa Taala did blow
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			The soul into you, Allah subhana wa tada did command for your creation to occur as well. A lot did
commend for your, your existence to happen and he created your existence as well. But when you came
out, you came out through the means of your parents, you came out to this world through the means of
your parents. So if you're not even able to do good to the means, how are you going to do good to
the origin? So Allah says, do good to me. Be monotheistic in your interactions with me do not
associate partners with me. And then you remember your parents as well because that is that assume
that is the means. And that's why when we're taught to dealing with warfare, though, we're far far
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:15
			away from it. What happens when we want to do good to the origin we want when we want to do good to
the country that is dealing with us we do good to what the ambassador of that country, Allah
subhanho wa Taala made your appearance that means for you to come to the world. If you do good to
your parents, then and only then will you be able to do goodness to Allah subhana wa tada and this
is captured in the Hadith of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, where he says whoever is not
thankful and grateful to the people, he will not be thankful and grateful to Allah subhana wa Tada.
So your action points over here, our number one goal right now, right after this video finishes and
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:40
			if you've never done in your life, I know it's gonna be difficult, but going kiss your parents on
their forehead right now. And if your parents are not with you, at least call them and tell them I
love you. Even if those words are difficult, even if it feels like a mountain is about to fall on
you. It's not gonna fall nothing's gonna happen you're gonna be perfectly fine but what's gonna
happen is your scale of good deeds are gonna go higher and higher. I asked Allah subhanaw taala to
give us a trophy after practice to convey just for listening was a little sad.
