Adnan Rajeh – Surat Luqmaan Summary

00:00:23 --> 00:00:30

			In this cluster of surahs that we are
		

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

			currently discussing, the fifth cluster of surahs in
		

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

			the Qur'an, from Surah Al-Qasas spanning
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39

			down to Surah As-Sajdah, this group of
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

			surahs talks about relationships.
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

			Relationships are very important to human beings, they're
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

			probably the most important aspect of our lives.
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

			And Allah subhana wa ta'ala is looking
		

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

			at the relationships that we have with different
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:56

			things around us, different occurrences that are going
		

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

			on within our vicinity.
		

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

			And Surah Al-Qasas talks about the relationships
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

			we have with others, how our stories and
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

			their stories intertwine, and how we're supposed to
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

			deal with their stories and our own stories,
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

			and the lack of judgment that we should
		

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

			be showing in the steadfastness of value.
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

			Surah Al-Ankabut looks at our relationship with
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

			the difficulties and calamities, misfortunes of life itself,
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

			and how Allah subhana wa ta'ala is
		

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

			expecting us to continue to perform Mujahidah and
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

			to strive through all these difficulties and calamities.
		

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

			Surah Al-Rum, which we talked about yesterday,
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

			looks at the relationships that we have with
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

			events around us, the laws of the universe
		

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

			that Allah subhana wa ta'ala has put
		

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

			in place and set in motion.
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

			These laws that apply to the cosmos on
		

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

			a bigger scale and apply to the world
		

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

			or the globe and life itself, and how
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

			these laws are a part of His creation
		

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

			subhana wa ta'ala and our relationship with
		

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

			it should be to continue to hold on
		

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

			to our deen, to hold on to Islam,
		

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

			and continue moving forward with that, as we
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

			discussed yesterday.
		

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

			And today we talk about Surah Luqman.
		

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

			It's the relationship between generations, which is an
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

			extremely important topic.
		

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

			I was going to put Luqman and Sajdah
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

			in one session, but I decided out of
		

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

			the importance of the topic that maybe I
		

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

			give it its own.
		

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

			Luqman, alayhi as-salam wa radiyallahu anhu, you
		

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

			can use both, it's not a problem.
		

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

			There's only two people in the Quran that
		

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

			have Surahs named after them that aren't Prophets.
		

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

			If it's a name of a Surah, 90
		

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

			% of the time it's going to be
		

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

			a name of a Prophet, like Hud, alayhi
		

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

			as-salam, and Nuh, alayhi as-salam, and
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

			Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

			But there are two people who aren't Prophets
		

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

			who have Surahs named after them.
		

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

			The first one is Maryam, alayhi as-salam,
		

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

			who is the ultimate example of the struggle
		

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

			of women all through time.
		

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

			And then the second person is Luqman.
		

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

			Luqman is not a Prophet, but what granted
		

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

			him the status that put him in the
		

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

			position where Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

			'la named a Surah in the Quran after
		

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

			him, it was the fact that he was
		

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

			a murabbi.
		

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

			He was someone who raised generations, who raised
		

00:03:12 --> 00:03:18

			human beings, and doing that he required wisdom.
		

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

			And those two concepts are basically what the
		

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

			Surah talks about one way or the other.
		

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

			The Surah of Al-Rum, which we talked
		

00:04:00 --> 00:04:07

			about yesterday, taught us about our relationship with
		

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

			the Sunnah of Allah in His universe, and
		

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

			His laws that He has placed in this
		

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

			existence and in this life.
		

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

			The events that take place around us, and
		

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

			that affect us, and that we affect, and
		

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

			that we have a duty towards.
		

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

			And today I will talk about the Surah
		

00:04:21 --> 00:05:22

			of Luqman, Surah
		

00:05:22 --> 00:05:37

			Luqman, When
		

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

			you look at the Surah, the way it
		

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

			starts out, It says, It talks about the
		

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

			book that is wise, the book that is
		

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

			filled with wisdom, so it gives you a
		

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

			hint of what it's going for right at
		

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

			the beginning.
		

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

			And there's an ayah right at the beginning
		

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

			where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala points to
		

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

			the lack of wisdom in a very famous
		

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

			verse that we That we use quite often
		

00:05:58 --> 00:06:04

			وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ
		

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

			سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًّا There are
		

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

			people who will would rather spend their time
		

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

			who prefer لهو الحديث Talking about the issues
		

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

			or things that are useless that are completely
		

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

			Insignificant and not important at all لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ
		

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

			سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ Using these These words that they're
		

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

			that they're using using the topics that they
		

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

			are talking about To take them to lead
		

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

			them astray farther and farther away from Allah
		

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

			subhanahu wa ta'ala بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ Lacking in
		

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

			knowledge and lacking in experience وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًّا And
		

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

			they take it for granted and take it
		

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

			as a joke And if you think about
		

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

			it that is indeed in many ways The
		

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

			definition of the recklessness of youth This is
		

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

			what you know Youth that's how they go
		

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

			by things They have that recklessness Where they
		

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

			waste time saying things that are completely unimportant
		

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

			They lead themselves astray with that They lack
		

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

			knowledge they take things as mockery and as
		

00:07:02 --> 00:07:06

			jokes وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًّا And the ayah itself is
		

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

			talking about people who do that Consciously and
		

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

			clearly and they're going to be punished But
		

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

			when you look at it Allah subhanahu wa
		

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

			ta'ala is giving us A sense of
		

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

			what lack of wisdom does Lack of wisdom
		

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

			causes that Causes us to waste time talking
		

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

			about issues that are completely unimportant And insignificant
		

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

			And it takes us away from Allah subhanahu
		

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

			wa ta'ala And it lacks knowledge and
		

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

			it turns important things into mockery Even when
		

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

			we speak about religion Carelessly the same happens
		

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

			When we fail to prioritize religious issues properly
		

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

			And speak of what needs to be spoken
		

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

			of And leave things that aren't necessarily important
		

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

			Within the era that we live in Or
		

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

			within the marhalah The stage of life Or
		

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

			the stage of our development that we are
		

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

			in And when we do that It shows
		

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

			lack of knowledge And it turns important and
		

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

			serious issues into mockery Which is something at
		

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

			the beginning of the surah I think is
		

00:08:00 --> 00:08:03

			extremely important and significant And is worth looking
		

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

			at Because the surah is going to talk
		

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

			to us about How two generations are going
		

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

			to interact And how much we need wisdom
		

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

			And how much we need proper tarbiyah For
		

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

			that to actually work The surah starts with
		

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

			Those are the verses of the wise book
		

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

			And it points to wisdom In the beginning
		

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

			And then in the first page There is
		

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

			a great and important verse And among the
		

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

			people are those who buy talk To mislead
		

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

			from the way of Allah without knowledge And
		

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

			take it as a mockery And in this
		

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

			there is a reference To the state of
		

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

			the youth They are the youth And it
		

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

			is their nature To waste their time On
		

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

			the talk Which does not satisfy their hunger
		

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

			And this causes them To mislead from the
		

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

			way of Allah And to lack knowledge And
		

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

			take important issues As a mockery And yes
		

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

			the verses talk about the painful punishment For
		

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

			those who do this And they are knowledgeable
		

00:09:01 --> 00:09:05

			But Allah speaks About the lack of wisdom
		

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

			In the beginning of the surah And this
		

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

			is what we will find From those who
		

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

			do not have enough wisdom Whether they are
		

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

			from our youth Or those who talk about
		

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

			religion And want to educate the generations To
		

00:09:17 --> 00:09:21

			talk about unimportant religious issues At that moment
		

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

			It is a talk It does not satisfy
		

00:09:23 --> 00:09:27

			hunger It does not affect people It is
		

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

			not a place of interest For the youth
		

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

			If you do not talk to them about
		

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

			what concerns them They will turn away from
		

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

			you If you talk about an unimportant issue
		

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

			From religious issues It becomes a talk And
		

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

			misleads people Because of the lack of knowledge
		

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

			And this also causes People to take your
		

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

			words as a mockery Although the words you
		

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

			say May be important in another country And
		

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

			it is from the words of Allah And
		

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

			the words of His Messenger And must be
		

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

			glorified But for the bad wisdom If you
		

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

			choose what to talk about And when to
		

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

			talk We will be misled by the words
		

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

			of Allah This is an important issue You
		

00:10:04 --> 00:10:29

			should be aware of I
		

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

			am sure you can relate To youth who
		

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

			have been told Things about Islam It is
		

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

			just the wrong thing At the wrong time
		

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

			in the wrong way And it caused them
		

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

			to lose For Islam to not be attractive
		

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

			to them anymore And for them to lose
		

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

			faith in it And to take it all
		

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

			as mockery Because we did not know what
		

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

			to talk about Even though all of Islam
		

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

			is great But you have to choose what
		

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

			and when and how You are going to
		

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

			say things That is what wisdom is The
		

00:10:51 --> 00:10:57

			second page Allah SWT says Indeed we have
		

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

			granted Luqman wisdom Wisdom is one of the
		

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

			greatest Bounties of all in life If you
		

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

			are granted wisdom You are granted khayran kathira
		

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

			As Allah SWT says in other surahs We
		

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

			gave him wisdom and told him Show gratitude
		

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

			to Allah SWT For the wisdom that we
		

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

			gave you By using it properly وَمَن يَشْكُرُ
		

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

			فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهُ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ
		

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

			حَمِيدٌ And if you show gratitude to Allah
		

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

			Then you do that for yourself And if
		

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

			you don't then Allah SWT is not in
		

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

			need of you To show gratitude But that
		

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

			is the best thing to do When Allah
		

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

			SWT grants you wisdom You use it for
		

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

			the benefit of others And then the surah
		

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

			starts to show us The relationship between generations
		

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

			Tarbiyah, how he is going to raise his
		

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

			son How he is going to use his
		

00:11:40 --> 00:11:45

			wisdom To speak to his son How children
		

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

			should be treating their parents That's why before
		

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

			we hear Luqman talk to his kid وَوَصَّيْنَا
		

00:11:50 --> 00:11:55

			الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ
		

00:11:55 --> 00:12:00

			فِي عَامَيْنٍ أَنِشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ وَإِنْ
		

00:12:00 --> 00:12:03

			جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ
		

00:12:03 --> 00:12:07

			بِيهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبَهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفَ
		

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

			وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيْهِ Before we hear
		

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

			him talk to his son We hear Allah
		

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saying And we've commanded
		

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

			the human being To treat his parents in
		

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

			the best of ways As his mother put
		

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

			a lot of effort During the time she
		

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

			was pregnant with him And then when she
		

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

			took care of him as an infant As
		

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

			they raised them And even if they push
		

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

			you away from Islam Even if they're telling
		

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

			you to lose your deen altogether Which is
		

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

			an extreme example Then don't follow them And
		

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

			don't listen to them if they say that
		

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

			But صَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفَ Be the best
		

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

			companion for them in their lives Even if
		

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

			they're saying that to you Even if they're
		

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

			trying to send you away from Islam You
		

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

			never stop being the best companion You can
		

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

			be towards them within their lives And follow
		

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

			the righteous path in your life This relationship
		

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

			between generations is so important Because it affects
		

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

			all of us really All the time There's
		

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

			no exception to that And then we hear
		

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

			Luqman Alayhi Salaam Explaining something to his son
		

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

			So the second page starts with a Hadith
		

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

			about Luqman He says رَبُّنَا آتَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ
		

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

			To thank Allah وَمَنْ يُؤْتَى الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدَ أُوتِيَ
		

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

			خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا So Luqman was given wisdom and
		

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

			he was commanded to thank Allah And to
		

00:13:14 --> 00:13:18

			use it for the good of people And
		

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

			he used it to raise his son He
		

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

			used his wisdom But before we hear Luqman's
		

00:13:23 --> 00:13:29

			wisdom Allah Almighty in the verses لِلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ
		

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

			يُحْصِنَ إِلَىٰ وَالِدَيْهِ This mother who carried him
		

00:13:32 --> 00:13:37

			for two years To thank me and your
		

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

			parents To me is the destination وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ
		

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

			عَلَىٰ أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ
		

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

			عِلْمٌ So do not obey them and accompany
		

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

			them in this world حَتَّى لَوْ جَاهَدَاكَ وَالِدَاكَ
		

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

			أَنْ تَتْرُكَ دِينَ اللَّهِ So do not obey
		

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

			but accompany them in this world لَا يَحِقُّ
		

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

			لَكَ أَنْ تُسِيءَ صُحْبَتَهُمَا حَتَّى لَوْ أَمَرَاكَ بِالْحَجَّةِ
		

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

			But do accompany them in this world وَهَذِي
		

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

			الْعَلَاقَةِ بَيْنَ الْأَجْجَالِ مُهِمَّةٍ And this relationship between
		

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

			the generations is important فِي أَنْ يُدْرِكَ كُلٌّ
		

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

			مِنَّا مُهِمَّتَهُ In dealing with those other than
		

00:14:10 --> 00:14:15

			Him وَمَعَ مَنْ هُمْ أَعْلَىٰ مِنْهُ وَهَذِي الْقَضِيَةِ
		

00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

			إِذَا لَمْ نُحْسِنْهَا فَيَعْنِ نَسِيجُ الْمُجْتَمَعِ يَتَضَعْضَعْ
		

00:14:19 --> 00:14:25

			وَيَتَخَلْخَلْ وَلَا تَقُومُ لِلْمُجْتَمَعَاتِ قَائِمَةٍ إِذَا لَمْ نَفْهَمْ
		

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

			بِوَضُوحٍ وَأَجِبُنَا تِجَاهَا الَّذِينَ هُمْ حَوْلَنَا مِنْ فَوْقِنَا
		

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

			وَمِنْ تَحْدِنَا Then we hear Luqman Alayhi Salaam
		

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

			talk So what does he say?
		

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

			Listen to the points that he makes to
		

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

			his son First one يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ
		

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

			بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ In the first
		

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

			words وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِبْنِهِ وَهُوَ
		

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

			يَعِظُهُ الْوَعَظُ Is giving advice in the most
		

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

			tender of ways That's what وَعَظُ means It's
		

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

			when you're saying something to someone You're trying
		

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

			to give them advice But you've chosen the
		

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

			most kind and gentle and tender manner to
		

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

			actually deliver it So that's the first piece
		

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

			of wisdom from Luqman Is that when he
		

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

			spoke to his son He did it in
		

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

			the most gentle and tender way possible And
		

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

			he started by teaching him who God is
		

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

			Who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is لا
		

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

			تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ First of
		

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

			all, do not associate with Allah, my son
		

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

			How many of us spend time explaining to
		

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

			our children The importance of توحيد And that
		

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would never have
		

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

			a شريك We take that for granted and
		

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

			we move on But not actually taking time
		

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

			to explain to our children Who Allah Subhanahu
		

00:15:28 --> 00:15:28

			Wa Ta'ala is Is a problem يَا
		

00:15:28 --> 00:15:32

			أُبُونَيَّ إِنَّهَا إِن تَكُونُ إِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ
		

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

			فَتَكُونْ فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَوْ فِي
		

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

			الْأَرْضِ يَأْتِبِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ He
		

00:15:38 --> 00:15:45

			tells you that you are in the midst
		

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

			of a boulder Somewhere in the midst of
		

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

			the sea Somewhere in the sky or in
		

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

			the earth And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

			can bring it And show it to you
		

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

			and present it to you Because Allah Subhanahu
		

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

			Wa Ta'ala is the subtle And He
		

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

			is the most knowledgeable Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

			لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ So first thing, he told his
		

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

			son Who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		

00:16:03 --> 00:16:08

			The second يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةِ Whatever rituals
		

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

			are extremely important for them It's the only
		

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

			ritual we have in the commands of Luqman
		

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

			Because his son is probably not at this
		

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

			point Where he can yet do Zakah or
		

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

			do Hajj أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةِ Focusing on the rituals
		

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

			that they definitely have to do Just tell
		

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

			them the rituals they have to do Don't
		

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

			start piling rituals on children Before they can
		

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

			actually understand why they're doing them Give them
		

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

			the basic أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةِ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنْهَى عَنِ
		

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

			الْمُنْكَرِ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ That's one
		

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

			thing basically This is to participate in social
		

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

			reform All the good aspects of society Continue
		

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

			to encourage them and participate And all the
		

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

			negative aspects of society Then you continue to
		

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

			discourage and stay away from And help others
		

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

			do the same This is social participation Allowing
		

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

			your son and your daughter To participate in
		

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

			their society In the positives and discouraging the
		

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

			negatives Very important This is not da'wah
		

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

			Da'wah is a different thing أَمْرُ الْمَعْرُوفِ
		

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

			وَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ Is social These are social
		

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

			concepts They're not religious ones And they're important
		

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

			to see the difference between the two وَصْبِرْ
		

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

			عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكْ The fourth Teaching them to
		

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

			understand that life is difficult And life is
		

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

			going to send them calamities And send them
		

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

			misfortunes And that's how it's going to be
		

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

			You have to learn to be perseverance And
		

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

			to put up with it And to show
		

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

			patience And to show perseverance And to strive
		

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

			against them وَصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكْ And then
		

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

			he tells him وَلَا تُصَعِرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا
		

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

			تَمْشِي فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَاحًا تُصَعِرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ Is
		

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

			a figure of speech And look how Luqman
		

00:17:36 --> 00:17:40

			uses these examples Uses language What he could
		

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

			have said is Don't be arrogant Because that's
		

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

			what تُصَعِرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ When you move your
		

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

			cheek away Upwards in front of people He's
		

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

			giving an example Because that's what They benefit
		

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

			from visual images From examples And he's telling
		

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

			Don't be arrogant He could have just said
		

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

			وَلَا تَتَكَبَّرْ وَلَا تُعْجَبْ And that would fix
		

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

			both parts of the verse وَلَا تَمْشِي فِي
		

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

			الْأَرْضِ مَرَاحًا Don't walk on the earth with
		

00:18:02 --> 00:18:06

			vanity But he's giving him visual images The
		

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

			fifth part He's giving him issues of تَزْكِيَة
		

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

			Telling him You have to watch out for
		

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

			your heart يَبْنِي You have to watch out
		

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

			for your vanity And for your arrogance You
		

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

			can't look down on people You can't walk
		

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

			around Full of yourself To the point where
		

00:18:18 --> 00:18:22

			you stop Thanking Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى وَقَصِدَ فِي
		

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

			مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ Manners When you speak
		

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

			When you walk Walk with humility on the
		

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

			earth And when you speak Speak in a
		

00:18:31 --> 00:18:34

			low voice Don't yell and scream إِنَّ أَنْكَرَ
		

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

			الْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيرِ The worst sound Or the
		

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

			voice in the world Is the voice of
		

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

			a donkey And I almost imagine that Luqman
		

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

			عليه السلام said that Because he wanted to
		

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

			put some humor In what he was telling
		

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

			his son There's really not much of a
		

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

			benefit Of this last piece of the verse
		

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

			Except that That he's trying to relate to
		

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

			him By using some humor Indeed the worst
		

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

			of voices Is the voice of a donkey
		

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

			So they're much more likely to understand And
		

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

			to accept what the father is saying There's
		

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

			a lot of wisdom In how Luqman عليه
		

00:19:06 --> 00:19:09

			السلام uses these words So if we look
		

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

			at Luqman عليه السلام's advice to his son
		

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

			He starts by introducing him to Allah The
		

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

			first thing he advises him to do Is
		

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

			to speak to the one in front of
		

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

			you With compassion With love and mercy and
		

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

			kindness So he spoke to him with mercy
		

00:19:22 --> 00:19:25

			and kindness And he said to him Don't
		

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

			associate partners with Allah Then he introduced him
		

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

			to his Lord That if you are the
		

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

			weight of a grain of mustard And you
		

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

			are in a rock Introduce him to his
		

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

			Lord How many of us introduce their children
		

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

			to Allah first And tell them that associating
		

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

			partners with Allah is not allowed And that
		

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

			Allah is one Who brings out the weight
		

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

			of a grain of mustard From a rock
		

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

			in the heavens and the earth That no
		

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

			one else brings Introduce them to Allah The
		

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

			second thing he told him to do Is
		

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

			to pray And he didn't tell him to
		

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

			recite a lot of poetry He just told
		

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

			him to recite an important poem And not
		

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

			to recite a lot of poetry And not
		

00:19:54 --> 00:19:59

			to recite a lot of poetry He just
		

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

			told him to take it easy And to
		

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

			take it as a hobby So the first
		

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

			poem is enough for prayer At this age
		

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

			He doesn't need to pray It is enough
		

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

			for a poet to pray And enjoin what
		

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

			is good and forbid what is evil Social
		

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

			participation in encouraging good And in denying evil
		

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

			in society And this is not a matter
		

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

			of Dawah It is a matter of social
		

00:20:19 --> 00:20:25

			participation in spreading good And in denying evil
		

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

			in societies And this is of utmost importance
		

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

			That we push our children to social participation
		

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

			In what is good and good And be
		

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

			patient with what their education has taught them
		

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

			That life is full of hardships Which only
		

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

			Allah knows And patience and hard work is
		

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

			the source of Islam And this is how
		

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

			you will be You must learn to be
		

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

			patient with yourself Before going out into the
		

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

			world So that the first calamity he sees
		

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

			Is outside your house And he doesn't treat
		

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

			it well And he loses something of his
		

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

			religion And maybe something of himself Because you
		

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

			didn't look after him in your house You
		

00:20:57 --> 00:21:01

			protected him from all misfortunes And do not
		

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

			show your cheek to the people And do
		

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

			not walk in the earth in pleasure Do
		

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

			not show your cheek, do not walk Do
		

00:21:06 --> 00:21:09

			not be arrogant, do not be full of
		

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

			pride And look how he looks like him
		

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

			He looks like his son You show your
		

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

			cheek You walk in the earth in pleasure
		

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

			He gives him something he can imagine Because
		

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

			the youth love this And he commands him
		

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21

			with what is pure for himself Then he
		

00:21:21 --> 00:21:23

			commands him with etiquette And he means in
		

00:21:23 --> 00:21:24

			your walk And he gets angry with your
		

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

			voice Walk a little and speak slowly Then
		

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

			he says to him I see that the
		

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

			voice of the donkey denies the voice And
		

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

			I see that Luqman, peace be upon him
		

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

			Looks like his son And maybe he mocks
		

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

			him in speech So that he learns And
		

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

			I see no benefit from this Except this
		

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

			meaning From Luqman's wisdom So that he brings
		

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

			the meaning closer to the youth When you
		

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

			continue the surah You find Allah, subhanahu wa
		

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

			ta'ala Does point out something That's a
		

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

			bit interesting He says And when it is
		

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

			said to them, Follow what Allah has revealed
		

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

			They say, no, we follow What our fathers
		

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

			did And even if it was Satan Who
		

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

			called them to the torment of the Fire
		

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

			Some people, you'll tell them How about you
		

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

			follow the righteous path They'll say, no, we'll
		

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

			follow What our forefathers did Not every father
		

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

			Not every parent is You're not going to
		

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

			listen To everything they say This is very
		

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

			What I'm just saying is obviously Very controversial
		

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

			Most parents don't want me To be saying
		

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

			that But what Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala
		

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

			Is saying is that we have to Be
		

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

			able to balance What we listen to What
		

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

			we don't listen to And this is not
		

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

			for children What I'm saying right now Are
		

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

			for people, middle-aged people Who their parents
		

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

			are In many ways Trying to get them
		

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

			To stick to certain cultures Or traditions That
		

00:22:36 --> 00:22:39

			when they look at They agree this is
		

00:22:39 --> 00:22:40

			not The right tradition This is not the
		

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

			right way of life I don't necessarily agree
		

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

			with this But they're being Pressured by their
		

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

			parents And the concept that's being used Is
		

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

			that this is from Rida al-walideen Ubir
		

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

			al-walideen That you listen to everything I
		

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

			say Even though what you're being asked to
		

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

			do You don't necessarily agree with Because it's
		

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

			a tradition That should have been taken away
		

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

			A long time ago And that's what the
		

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

			ayah Is also kind of referring to That
		

00:23:00 --> 00:23:01

			we listen to our parents And our parents
		

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

			give us advice And we accept that advice
		

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

			But sometimes we have to also Have some
		

00:23:05 --> 00:23:09

			critical thinking skills That allow us to measure
		

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

			And to weigh out What we're being told
		

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

			I think that's for Kind of more middle
		

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

			-aged people The ayah, surah Luqman has وَلَوْ
		

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

			أَنَّ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٍ وَالْبَحْرُ
		

00:23:20 --> 00:23:25

			يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ مَا نَفِيدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ
		

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

			اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ If all the trees on
		

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

			earth Were turned into pens And all the
		

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

			water in the seas And the oceans were
		

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

			ink And you took those pens and that
		

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

			ink And you wrote all the wisdom Of
		

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with it Then
		

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

			you would run out of trees And run
		

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

			out of water Before you ran out of
		

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

			the wisdom Of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

			And this is referring to The importance of
		

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

			wisdom That there's always more to learn That
		

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

			we can always have more experience And more
		

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

			wisdom And specifically when we're dealing With generations
		

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

			Specifically when as a son I'm dealing with
		

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

			my parents Or as a parent I'm dealing
		

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

			with my children It's extremely important Middle-aged
		

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

			people are both For most cases You have
		

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

			parents that you have to Perform bir towards
		

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

			And you have children that you have to
		

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

			Perform terbiya towards You need as much wisdom
		

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

			As that can be written With the ink
		

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

			of the seed On the Day of Judgment
		

00:24:13 --> 00:24:14

			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Will offer
		

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

			you that By reading the Quran and learning
		

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

			Then after these great commandments From Luqman to
		

00:24:21 --> 00:24:24

			his son Our Lord points out a subtle
		

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

			sign To an important meaning And when they're
		

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

			told To follow what Allah has revealed They
		

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

			say We follow what our fathers did Some
		

00:24:31 --> 00:24:35

			people follow their fathers In what they shouldn't
		

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

			Their fathers shouldn't follow Not everything your father
		

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

			And your mother order you to do You
		

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

			follow it As the first verse explains And
		

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

			if they strive you to associate This doesn't
		

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

			mean That we underestimate The value of their
		

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

			advice And some of them Rather Luqman teaches
		

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

			us The importance of the advice Of our
		

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

			fathers and their advice But you also have
		

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

			to Think well about the issues So it's
		

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

			not permissible for you To follow a culture
		

00:24:59 --> 00:25:02

			or a tradition That is bad or harmful
		

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

			And you realize It's harmful to people Just
		

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

			because your father And your mother ordered you
		

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

			to So this is not wisdom And this
		

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

			is not permissible So it's up to man
		

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

			To balance things And to look at what
		

00:25:14 --> 00:25:15

			is ordered And it's not permissible For the
		

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

			people to use The meanings of righteousness If
		

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

			they order their children To do something That
		

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

			Allah didn't order them to do It's not
		

00:25:22 --> 00:25:26

			permissible For you to choose What your son
		

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

			will study In the university It's not permissible
		

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

			For you to choose Where he will live
		

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

			There are issues That it's not permissible For
		

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

			you to use righteousness In asking for it
		

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

			From your children And this is an important
		

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

			issue And the verse And the surah And
		

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

			if there were On earth A tree of
		

00:25:40 --> 00:25:43

			pens And the sea Extends it Seven seas
		

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

			It's not permissible For the words of Allah
		

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

			If we turned all the trees Into pens
		

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

			And we used The water of the sea
		

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

			As ink It's not permissible For the words
		

00:25:52 --> 00:25:55

			of Allah And the sea And the trees
		

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

			It's not permissible So the wisdom of Allah
		

00:25:57 --> 00:26:00

			Doesn't end And this wisdom Is not permissible
		

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

			We need it In dealing With each other
		

00:26:03 --> 00:26:07

			For generations Like a person In his middle
		

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

			age Meaning He is a father Or a
		

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

			mother Or a son Or a daughter So
		

00:26:12 --> 00:26:17

			you have And you need Unlimited wisdom To
		

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

			deal With these trees And if we spoil
		

00:26:20 --> 00:26:24

			Dealing with these issues The communities Will be
		

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

			corrupted And will fall At the end of
		

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28

			the surah You find the verse Where Allah
		

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

			Says O people Fear your Lord And fear
		

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

			One day A father Will not Reward his
		

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

			son And a son Will not Reward his
		

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

			father At all Indeed Allah's promise Is true
		

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

			So don't deceive The life of this world
		

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

			And don't deceive The pride of Allah O
		

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

			people Be pious And fear Allah Subhanahu wa
		

00:26:50 --> 00:26:57

			ta'ala And fear the day A father
		

00:26:57 --> 00:27:03

			Can't benefit His son And a son Cannot
		

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

			benefit His father Indeed The promise of Allah
		

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

			Subhanahu wa ta'ala Is the truth See
		

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

			in this dunya We have The The opportunity
		

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

			For the father To benefit the son For
		

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

			the older generation To take care Of the
		

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

			younger generation And for the younger generation To
		

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

			benefit And take care Of the older generation
		

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

			We still have that opportunity If we choose
		

00:27:26 --> 00:27:27

			Not to use it If we choose For
		

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

			there not to be Bir And for there
		

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

			not to be Wa'ud And for there
		

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

			not to be Proper communication And proper wisdom
		

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

			In the way we're gonna deal With one
		

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

			another A day will come Where you would
		

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

			want To benefit But there is no way
		

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Will not allow
		

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

			it You want to benefit Your kid But
		

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

			it's too late And he wants to benefit
		

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

			you But it's too late That's why At
		

00:27:48 --> 00:27:50

			the end of the surah Inna allaha indahu
		

00:27:50 --> 00:27:53

			ilmus sa'a Wayunazzilul ghayth Waya'lamu maa
		

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

			tamoot Inna allaha alimun khabeer Allah subhanahu wa
		

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

			ta'ala Counts the five things That he
		

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

			knows And only he knows At the end
		

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

			of it saying He is al-alim He
		

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

			is the all-knowing He is al-khabeer
		

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

			He is the most experienced And what is
		

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

			wisdom Besides knowledge and experience Coming together What
		

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

			is wisdom really Besides someone who has experience
		

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

			And knowledge Experience without knowledge Is usually not
		

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

			very beneficial And knowledge without experience Is raw
		

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

			It's green It doesn't do You need experience
		

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

			And knowledge together Which is what wisdom is
		

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

			And he's telling you Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		

00:28:27 --> 00:28:28

			I have all the wisdom I know it
		

00:28:28 --> 00:28:31

			all So when I teach you How to
		

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

			deal with them When I tell you What
		

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

			you're supposed to be doing Listen to what
		

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

			I'm saying Take it all Don't take the
		

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

			parts you like Don't take the parts you
		

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

			enjoy Of what I'm saying But take all
		

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

			of it At the end of surah He's
		

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

			warning us Subhanahu wa ta'ala To fear
		

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

			the day When the father can't Benefit his
		

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

			son And the son can't Benefit his father
		

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

			You had an opportunity In this world To
		

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

			benefit each other And to benefit each other
		

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

			From each other And to benefit The older
		

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

			generation From the younger generation And to benefit
		

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

			The younger generation From the older generation And
		

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

			to benefit him And take care of his
		

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

			affairs But you lost So on the Day
		

00:29:03 --> 00:29:06

			of Resurrection Each generation wants To help the
		

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

			other But Allah Will not This is His
		

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

			promise The truth Subhanahu wa ta'ala The
		

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

			last verse in surah Is a great verse
		

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

			With the keys of the unseen He has
		

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

			the knowledge of the Hour And he sends
		

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

			down the unseen And he knows What's in
		

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

			the wombs And what you know No one
		

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

			knows These things Except Allah And He is
		

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

			the Knowing The Expert And what is wisdom
		

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

			My brothers Except knowledge And experience Because knowledge
		

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

			Without experience And experience Without knowledge There is
		

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

			a severe deficiency But if you combine Knowledge
		

00:29:30 --> 00:29:33

			and experience You get wisdom And Allah is
		

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

			the Wise He who teaches us In dealing
		

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

			with Generations One another He is the Wise
		

00:29:39 --> 00:29:40

			And He is the One Who we must
		

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

			follow And He is our guide I hope
		

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

			that was beneficial
