00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Brothers and sisters inshallah wata'ala
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			this is an advice
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			and I don't want anyone to
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			get offended.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			And Insha Allahu Ta'ala, we hope this advice
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			reaches our beloved parents,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			the moms and the fathers,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			so that we can all try and address
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			this situation
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			and solve it
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			properly
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			in the best possible manner.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			And the religion is advised.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			The religion is advised as the prophet
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			told us what
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			the religion is advised.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			And also, jari'bna Abdullahahu
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			anhu he said
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			We gave our oath of allegiance to the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			in listening and obeying. And he came in
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			another narration to establish the prayer
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			and to establish the Zakat as well. And
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			that which came after that was
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			one
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			Muslim
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			to advise
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			every single Muslim.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			And wallahi parents,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			mothers and fathers,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			the only reason why we're doing this Insha'Allah
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			is to
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			advise one another.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			I'm not trying to have a dig at
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			any of you lot,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			but just to Insha'Allah
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			to cooperate in good and piety as Allah
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told us.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			Cooperate
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			in good and piety and do not cooperate
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			in sin and evil.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			So this issue we want to discuss today
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			insha Allah is a rising problem.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			Is a very
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			problematic matter
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			which is causing Fassad,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			corruption upon the Earth.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			And sometimes we wonder to ourselves why is
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			this corruption taking place? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			has told us.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Corruption
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			has become apparent upon the earth due to
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			what the people have done with their own
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			hands.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says to us
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			also
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			Never do you get afflicted with an affliction
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			except with that which your
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			hands have earned.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			So this issue is
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:32
			asking
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			for maybe $20,000
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			when it comes to the dowry,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			if a young righteous individual comes up to
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			you
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			requesting to get married to your daughter.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			Well, hi parents.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Brothers have contacted me from Canada, from America,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			and apparently this is an issue in places
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			like Australia and many other places.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			The parents
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			are requesting maybe $20,000
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			for the Mahar
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:05
			because
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			or after a young individual comes
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			to maybe ask for his daughter's hand in
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			marriage
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			and the other things that are put forth.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Do you have a degree? And if he
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			doesn't have a degree and if he doesn't
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			have his money, it's a no go.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			Fathers and mothers,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			may Allah
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			bless you all.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			Whoever comes to you and you're satisfied with
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			his deen
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			and with his etiquettes, his huluk,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			his manners
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			and marry him off.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			Either that you do this
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			or there will be fitna
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			and there will be corruption upon the Earth.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			Why is this corruption that we have today?
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			And fathers,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			I'm not gonna go around the bush and
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			I'm gonna be very very clear on this
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			issue.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			Your children
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			are watching pornographics.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			They are watching pornographics.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			Naked men and women
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			having sexual *
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			in order to fulfill their desires.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			Why is this fasad that the prophet sallallahu
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			alaihi wa sallam has talked about?
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			It is this kind of fasad that we
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			have on the ground today.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Our kids
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			are watching what? They're watching pornographics.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Either they have a girlfriend going behind your
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			backs
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			or they're watching these
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			filthy
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:44
			films
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			behind your backs when you are going to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			sleep under their pillows
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			and under their duvets.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Oh, fathers and mothers, wallahi, this is the
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			reality of the matter.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			A sickness
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			that is worse than what
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			drugs and being alcoholic. Why?
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			An alcoholic,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			as soon as a Muslim
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			brother or a Muslim sister goes and drinks
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			alcohol, we can smell it from them. We
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			can see them drunk.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			They come to the home, we know that
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			something's up.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Likewise, a drug dealer, you can smell it
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			on him,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			you can see the druggie
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			on his face, on his body, the drugs
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			that he's been taking.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			As for the individual now that watches *,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			it is something
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			that even if a big sheikh with a
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			beard
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			is doing it, nobody can realize.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			It is something that is hidden between all
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			the people,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			from all the people. It is something that
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			a person does privately.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			The side effects are many
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			of what can happen, but this is not
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			the thing that we're currently speaking about.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			The mere fact,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			and I'm not trying to say they're right
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			for doing this,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			but there is causes. And one of these
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:08
			causes,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			a righteous boy comes to your house,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			and he wants to get married to your
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			daughter, and you tell him 20,000 or $30,000.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			How is this now going in accordance to
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam statement
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			There's something in our religion called what goes
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			around comes around. We tend we tend to
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			hear this in our schools, from our teachers,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			and etcetera, but it's something that has a
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			basis in our religion.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Imagine now you had a son who failed
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			in his academics.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			He didn't get the correct
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			or he didn't get the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			level or the degree that you wanted him
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			to get, and now he wants to get
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			married.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			The prophet
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			told us, getting married it is better for
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			the eyes and it is also
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			better for the private parts.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			Your son now wants to get married,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			he doesn't have that kind of money. Imagine
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			the same thing that you've done
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			now takes place against him.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			What goes around comes around is part of
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			our religion. What's the proof of this?
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he tells us a
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:23
			certain
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			And let those people
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			who take the wealth of the orphans, let
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			them be fearful.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			If they were now to leave behind weak
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:48
			offspring,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			it
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			would happen to them as well.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			Because you have been eating the wealth of
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			the orphans, what happens?
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			The same thing comes and it happens to
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			your weak offspring
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			because you done it with your hands.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Fathers and mothers,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has told us in
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			the Quran,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			and fear for this fitna does not only
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			going to afflict the oppressive ones, rather it's
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			just something that is going to take all
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:26
			the people.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			This is that which is
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			on the ground today,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			and I'm going to try and be as
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			straight up as possible.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			And this is what I've tried to do.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not shy of
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			the haqq. This is the reality of that
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			which is taking place in our communities.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			Wallahi brothers have sent me how many messages
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			regarding this issue, pornographics.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			We're trying to get married but the parents
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			are telling me this.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			We go to another guy, he tells me
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			the exact same thing. He told me $20,000
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			Well, you think to yourself sometimes is she
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			is some dab and some diamonds that is
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			being bought or, you know.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to benefit
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			us from that which we heard
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			and to make this
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			that we reach our parents
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			whether it is from the Somali community because
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			apparently this is an issue now in Canada
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:22
			specifically.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			And the other community whether they're Pakistani, whether
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			they're Indian, whether they're Bengali,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			whatever the communities this might be.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			Brothers. One thing that and please do not
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			take this to offense.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			I'm not trying to dig at any parents
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40
			specifically,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			but it's just an advice
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			from your son coming to you. May Allah
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			bless you all.
