			Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatuh
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			Welcome back to our Quranic
reflections. So let us start with
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			the verse for today. Our although
bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Bismillah he Rama near Rafi
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:27
			for Bala alto had the either Nokia
Houda Patera call apartelle 10 FC
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:33
			Zacky yet be high enough still
called LG the CHE and nohcra
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			thereafter Allah subhanaw taala
says
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			what um well hola moussaka where
humo me Nene for hushing.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:50
			You're here for Hoonah Talia no
coup for Aradhana, au Videla,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			Houma or boo Houma Hiram min who
is aka who call Radha Ra.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
			So these are two parts of two
verses from the same surah and
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			it's from Surah Toka. half as many
of you may have guessed, which is
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:10
			chapter 18, verses 74 and then 80
to 81, because there are some
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			intervening discussions in
between. So, I want you to focus
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			on these two verses first,
essentially what Allah subhanaw
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			taala is relating here is the
story and the encounter between
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:28
			Musa alayhis salam Moses and
Fedora or Hodder Radi Allahu Anhu.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			So what's happening here is they
have both teamed up because
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			Mousavi Islam has been told that
is somebody who knows, you know,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			some knowledge that you do not
possess. So he finds Haider Ali
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			salaam, and now he accompanies
they, they're going together. And
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			then suddenly, there's one
incident that takes place. But
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			here we want to discuss the second
incident. The second incident is
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			that they proceed until they met a
young man, a little young guy,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			right? Maybe a youth. And Heather
went and slew him. He went and
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			killed him. And Mousavi salaam
becomes very upset. He says, Have
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			you slain an innocent man who has
slain no one? An innocent person,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			he's not killed anybody, it might
be justified to kill somebody if
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			they kill somebody, but an eye for
an eye. But here, he's not killed
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			anybody truly you have done a very
foul thing. That's what he said.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			Now, then after that they carry
on. And there's another incident
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			that takes place, which we'll
discuss later. But in this
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			particular case, when eventually
further explains his reasoning,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			right, for what, for what reason
he did what he did. This is what
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			he says. He then clarifies it. As
for the youth, his parents were
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:43
			believers. And we feared that this
young kid would grieve them by his
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			obstinate rebellion, and
ingratitude to Allah subhanaw
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			taala. So we desired that the Lord
would give them in exchange, a son
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			better in purity, of purity of
conduct, and closer in affection,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:02
			Aqaba Rama, that we will replace
the son for them. Right, and take
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			this one away and give them
another son. Now, it doesn't
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			mention how exactly he killed him
or how he died. That's not
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			mentioned. However, the
explanation is that the reason is
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			that this kid was going to cause
them problems, right because of
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			their intense love for him. And he
was going to cause issues. There's
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:24
			a lot of other linked details
here, which we not going to go
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			into about destiny and Why did
Allah subhanaw taala then create
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			him that way and all the rest of
it. If you want, you can check our
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			lecture out which is called Don't
be depressed, you don't know your
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			future. It's on zum zum
academy.com You can listen to that
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			one for good in sha Allah a
thorough understanding of the
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			predestination and decree issue in
sha Allah. However, in this
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			particular case, let us look at
this for a moment what's going on
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			in here, right? So one of the most
important covenants that we have
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			ever signed for for human beings
should be their faith, because
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			that is something that is a
covenant for the hereafter. Any
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			other covenant or agreement or
promise that you make is generally
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			for the world, and that will end
with the world. However, any
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15
			covenant that you make a faith
then that's about the hereafter
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			because faith is supposed to span
what happens after death. I mean,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			any good faith should do that. Now
in Islam, that is obviously what
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:27
			the case is for us. Now, in life,
what is more valuable than faith,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			right in life, what is more
valuable in faith, you can have so
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			many other things but if you don't
have faith, then you've lost your
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			hereafter. However, if you have
not much in this world, but you
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			have strong faith and okay, there
may be misery and difficulty and
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			hardship for so many years or
decades or whatever it may be. But
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			eventually there's going to be
Ultimate Bliss in the hereafter
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			because of your faith insha Allah.
So that means if we then look at
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			another blessing in this world,
another blessing in this world
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			that everybody you know that most
people look for our children
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			mashallah chill
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Children, and what could be more
precious than a child with faith?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			So if you have a child and you
have a child with faith, that
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			would be probably the most
precious thing. Subhanallah this,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			what comes from this Quranic
passage that we look, what we're
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			looking at? The truth that comes
out of here is,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			you know, a lot of people read
this passage, they read it for the
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			story. Oh, what an interesting
story, like, Wow, what an
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29
			interesting story. However, our
job is actually to look at it and
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			ponder over it to see how it fits
our life and how it provides a
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			guidance for us because the Quran
is a book of guidance for all of
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			us individually.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			So, this story of Musa Ali Salam
and Haider Ali Salam is pretty
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			much towards the end of Surah,
Tolka, half, right, it's towards
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			the latter end. There's a few
other
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			stories mentioned after that, but
it is towards the end. And now
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			you've got this incident where
there's this youth gay, there's
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			this youth, and in the presence of
this distinguished Messenger of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			Allah subhanaw, taala, Musa
alayhis, salaam, killer just goes
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			and does what he does, and he
kills this child. And when us then
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			he explains the reason that he
killed him is in consideration for
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			faith.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			The reason he killed him is
because this child was going to
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			have an adverse effect on the
parents. And the parents were
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			righteous people. So now look at
this, because they were righteous,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			Allah subhanaw taala is protecting
them. Because they were righteous,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			Allah subhanaw taala is
particularly protecting them from
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			their own children. I know that's
a really, really complex idea
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			here. Okay, but let's just take it
the way it is, you know, as it's
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			mentioned in the Quran, and we
take it as the reality it is what
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			Allah subhanaw taala has intended,
why he's intended that I'm not
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			going to I can't explain that
right now. But the main point is,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			that because of that child of this
being a threat to their faith,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			Allah subhanaw taala has that
child done away with and gives
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			them many, many more children. And
then there's their faith is
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			secure, that their children are
secure with faith as well. And
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			that is what Heather explains
afterwards, that Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			taala can easily give them another
child. But if he messes up, if
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			keeping this child messes up their
faith, that is nothing to replace
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			that, then they've lost this one
and the hereafter, yes, there's
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			going to be a bit of a hardship
and a feel of grief and sorrow.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			And when people feel when they
lose children, right, no doubt
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			about that. But that's going to be
supplanted by many other children.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			But if you lose faith, and there's
nothing to grieve about
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			afterwards, because you have
nothing, right, you have nothing
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			of the hereafter. So that was the
comparison there. Right. Now,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			before. I mean, the main point
here is that faith is very, very
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			important. And I think that one of
the big points here is that if you
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			have to make sacrifices for your
faith, just like this child was
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			killed, right, then you should do
so. Now before you jump to any
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			conclusions that were saying that
you need to kill your children, or
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			kill anybody else who creates a
problem for you in your faith.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			Right? That's a no, no, I mean,
that's very, very clear, and very,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			very clear that even the biggest
Muslim community, even the
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			greatest Muslim imam, even whoever
it may be, right? The biggest
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			scholars, a group of scholars, a
panel of scholars cannot kill a
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			child just because they're a bit
disobedient. There are cases in an
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:29
			Islamic in Islamic law and in Dar
Al Islam, right, where, you know,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			there is an eye for an eye and a
Life for life. But this is not one
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			of them. They just somebody is
disobedient, or somebody is a bit
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			mischievous, or somebody doesn't
have faith properly, you can't
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			kill non Muslims either. I mean,
that's very, very, very clear. So
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			that's not the point here. This is
not some law, that that's how you
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			need to do it, right. However,
what is understood from here is
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			that we need to make sacrifices.
If you have bad friends that are
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			causing you a disturbance in your
face, then you need to lose those
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			friends and have better friends.
It's not that you don't have to be
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			with friends, you just have to be
better with better friends,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			especially if you're a person that
is easily influenced, especially
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			if you're easily influenced,
because Allah subhanaw taala has
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:13
			this whole scenario played out,
right? Quite a gruesome scenario,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			to be honest, right? Just to
underline, underline, this point,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			that fake is very, very, very,
very important. And has this 10
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			story related reporting in sort of
gaffe, right, for for every and
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			then we're reminded of the story
every Friday because
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			we're supposed to read, encouraged
to read sort of source of gas
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			every Friday, right? Because it's
supposed to then protect us from
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			fitna like that the journal and I
guess the story makes that very,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			very clear because it's telling us
that faith is very, very important
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			and Allah subhanaw taala has, you
know, even had a child killed
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			because because of this reason,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			importance of faith is the is the
is the is the main point here,
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:51
			right
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			now, the Sharia is obviously
forbidden killing anybody without
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			just cause and this is just
something you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Unique to hidden because he was in
all three of those he did show
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			these really really exceptional
things that which are not for
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			others to do there after that, let
us look at another thing about
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:18
			this is that the next part of the
story is that had the either at
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:24
			the they came, they came to
people, and they they asked for
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			food. They asked for hospitality
because they were tired from the
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:34
			trip. And for about a year by year
former They refused any kind of
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			hospital hospitality. Basically
the people of the area, maybe it
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			was Antioch, according to many of
us, it was Antioch, right. They
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			came in they asked for food, they
asked because they went to hotels
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			in those days. And the idea in
those days was that you know, you
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			went and you know people fed fed
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			visitors and guests. But
unfortunately these people didn't
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			feed them they refuse to feed
them. So now what happens is
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			what happens is that they get to a
G dar as Allah subhanaw taala says
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			in
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			about a year the format for which
if you had Judah and Uri do
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			anything other than a Karma coil
Hello shape that is the hot daddy
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			agile. So what happens is that
suddenly they find this wall and
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			you know the story, and it was
about to topple, right. So it's
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			immediate fixing it needed
renovating, otherwise it was going
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:25
			to topple. And then Heather gets
up and starts to sort it out.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			Right, he starts to fix it, it
gets down and physical. And this
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			hard task of straightening a wall
out renovating a wall that's
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			building work. That's not easy to
do. Alright, so he starts to do
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:43
			that. And musasa is just totally
astonishes taken aback. It says, I
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:51
			mean, you kill that guy. You also
damaged the boat of the people
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			that took us for free. And now
here these people refuse to feed
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			us and give us any provisions. And
you're fixing a war of this, like
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			what is this? What kind of an
understanding of this is this is
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			just too confusing and complicated
for us to understand.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			So again, they're Allah subhanaw
taala explains in South Africa,
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:15
			verse 82, here, right as for the
wall, it belongs to the to us and
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			this is what Musa is now was told
afterwards, it belongs to to you
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			to orphans, basically, their
parents have died right orphans in
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			the town, beneath it was buried
treasure, to which these two
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			youths were entitled the Father.
Now look at this, this is the main
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			point. This is what links this
point with the previous incident
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			as well. The father was a pious
man,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			the father was a pious man. So
your Lord desired that these two
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			youths should attain the age of
their full strength, and get out
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			and then be able to extract their
treasure, a mercy and a favor from
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			your Lord Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar. What this is telling you is
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:59
			that if you do have faith, now,
it's going to protect you. And not
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			just you, but it's going to
protect in your absence is going
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			to protect your generations, your
progeny, your children, it's going
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			to protect them as well. That's
what faith is all about. Faith is
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			one of the most powerful assets
you can have in this world. So in
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			the previous story of the killing
of the young boy, there's the
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			story of faith, being so important
that even a child has to die for
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			that. And in this case, you've got
a story where faith is working for
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			you, right, because the parents
were faithful, because they had
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			good faith, Allah subhanaw taala
is looking after their children in
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			a way that nobody would have
expected that you get these
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			strangers, and one of them is a
prophet, right, that comes from
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:41
			out of town, and they are going to
fix this wall, even though the
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			circumstances would have demanded
that they not do so because they
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			were not treated with hospitality.
That is the most amazing thing
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			because had that wall collapsed,
right? I guess I forgot to mention
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			had that world collapsed, the
buried treasure there, meaning
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			that which had been left for the
children by their parents, right,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			they would have been exposed, and
then he would have been usurped by
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			the people of the town, because
they would not have taken into
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			consideration these two orphans.
So they would have then faced
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			poverty and suffering. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala has actually
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:20
			promised goodness for people with
faith. So that is what Allah
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			subhanaw taala has done.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:28
			That is the amazing idea that for
the sake of faith, all of this,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			all of this is happening. And
that's why we need to leave our
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			children with faith. The faith is
the most important aspect here.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:43
			The main points of this is to
basically bring a big distinction
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			between faith and disbelief, faith
and disbelief. The first parents
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			could have been led to disbelief.
In the second case, you've got the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			you've got the situation where the
belief works for them. And
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			subhanAllah Allah subhanaw taala
shows the value of faith that even
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			though
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			Friends are protected. This
reminds me of a very, very, very
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			heart rending story that I
personally encountered. I was
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			sitting in place in India called
Sahara and poor, right, which has
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15
			had for over 100 years you know,
it's had a major seminary and huge
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			number of scholars have have been
born there and have been trained
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			there and mashallah have been able
to benefit so many people, you
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			know, myself, I've Hamdulillah I
studied there as well. So, at the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			time, you know, in the, at the
time, there was a Mufti Mustafa,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:34
			Mustafa Mustafa, may Allah have
mercy on him is he's died now. And
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			he was such a man of Allah
subhanaw taala. I remember sitting
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			in one of his gatherings and he
was saying how his father whose
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:45
			name was Maulana Yahia Sheikh yeah
here and he had nothing shake your
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			hair used to be a total ascetic,
he never used to keep anything of
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			the world, he used to literally
go. I mean, if I've seen any, you
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			know, if I've heard of anybody who
was like Abu Bakr Siddiq are the
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			Allah one, where they would only
take as much as would be
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			sufficient, you know, to lead
their life, nothing in excess,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			nothing extra, then that would be,
you know, he would be the example
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			for that he would not take
anything extra, he would take only
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			as much even for his teaching and
so on, only as much as would
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			suffice in his home. And
subhanAllah his wife would
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			sometimes you know, tried to save
or whatever. And he he used to
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			just deal with it just the way
bucket acidic or the alone would
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			deal with it, where he would do
away with any excess. Somebody
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			then asked him, you know, towards
the end of his life, what are you
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			going to do for your children?
What are you leaving for your
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			children? And subhanAllah? That
was the answer that you know,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			really, really struck my heart and
Allah give us a Tofik to do the
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			same thing and to have the same
sentiment is that Allah subhanaw
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			taala says in the Quran, that
Allah, Allah Who Yet Allah Saudi
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			hain, Allah subhanho wa Taala
takes care of, right Allah
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:51
			subhanho wa Taala is the willie he
is the one who takes care of the
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			side one of the righteous ones I
have tried to make my children
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			side of him and Allah subhanho wa
Taala I'm leaving them to Allah to
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			take care of now what Tawakkol in
Allah, I mean he's a person who
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			the Quran is working for him. He's
made the Quran work for him he's
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			he's related to the Quran. And
that's what this story underscores
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			as well as the same thing we see
the Quran telling us about the
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			story of these parents that
because of their faith, Masha,
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			Allah, Allah subhanaw taala is
protecting their progeny after
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			them. We've seen this in numerous
cases, that there's some children,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			they mess up, and then suddenly
they get back on track and they do
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			some really good work in this
world is, you know, a lot of youth
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			that that happens to they, they
they have problems for a while,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			and then after that they come and
they mashallah accomplished much.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			And then, you know, you find out
that it's because of some door of
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			some righteous person in their
family, maybe their grandfather,
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:41
			maybe their mother, maybe the
father, whoever it is, let us not
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			see a bad day with our children.
Let not there be a bad day for us
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:49
			with our children or progeny until
the Day of Judgment, such that you
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			know, we wake up on the day of
judgment we come about, and there
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			we see that Subhan Allah some of
our progeny have left the faith.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			You know, the deen is in crisis.
And we know of so many people, you
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			know, in different countries,
where they move to different
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			countries and they lost their
faith, right? May Allah subhanaw
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			taala not allow that to happen for
us. And sometimes you could be in
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			your own country, in your own
surroundings, but then Allah
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			subhanaw taala Subhanallah you
know, there's situations that come
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			upon you that cause people to lose
their faith, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			preserved the faith of ourselves
and our progeny until the day of
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			judgment and allow us to take a
benefit from these verses, just
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			like Allah here, please keep us in
your doors. May Allah subhanaw
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			taala bless you all, and may Allah
grant you the best of your wishes,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			all of your permissible needs may
Allah subhanho wa Taala fulfill
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			them. And Allah subhanho wa Taala
accept as salam aleikum, wa
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:43
			rahmatullah wa barakato. The point
of a lecture is to encourage
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:48
			people to act to get further an
inspiration, and encouragement,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			persuasion. The next step is to
actually start learning seriously
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:56
			to read books to take on a subject
of Islam and to understand all the
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			subjects of Islam at least at the
basic level, so that we can become
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			more aware of what our deen wants
from us. And that's why we started
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:09
			Rayyan courses so that you can
actually take organize lectures on
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			demand whenever you have free
time, especially for example, the
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on the Islamic essentials
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			certificate, which you take 20
Short modules, and at the end of
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:26
			that inshallah you will have
gotten the basics of most of the
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:30
			most important topics in Islam and
you'll feel a lot more confident.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			You don't have to leave lectures
behind you can continue to live,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			you know, to listen to lectures,
but you need to have this more
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			sustained study as well as local
law here and Salam aleikum wa
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			rahmatullah wa barakato.
