Muhammadin wa ala aali sayyidina Muhammadin wa barik

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

wa sallim In today's world, there is a

00:00:30 --> 00:00:36

common complaint that children are getting out of

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

hand, children are not being brought up properly,

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

children are not getting the value system that

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

they need.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

In other words, a society that is being

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

formed is not looking the way we want

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

it to be.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

Now there are many reasons for this, and

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

if we find out from different people, we

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

will tell you many treatments for it.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

One of these treatments is that it is

00:01:08 --> 00:01:16

seen that very few role models are seen

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

in the lives of our children.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

That is, such personalities who can inspire a

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

person, can motivate a person, because every person

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

needs it.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

Every person, whether he is worldly or religious,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

sees a person above himself.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

For example, if you want to play a

00:01:35 --> 00:01:40

sport like basketball, then you will not see

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

such a player who does not even know

00:01:42 --> 00:01:42

how to dribble.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

Certainly, you will see such a person, you

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

will try to follow him, you will try

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

to find a person who has worked hard

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

in his field, you will find a name,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

you will find a rank, you will find

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

a person who has an art, abilities, capabilities.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

Now he will become your role model in

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

basketball, that I want to be like Mike.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

In our time, there used to be a

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

Michael Jordan, every person used to say this

00:02:09 --> 00:02:09

all the time.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:17

So a person fundamentally, psychologically understands that a

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

person who has beauty, goodness, a person who

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

has art, a person who has abilities, capabilities,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

a person wants to be followed.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:36

Similarly, if we want our children to become

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

religious, and that person prays that our children

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

become the saints of Allah, become the saints

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

of Allah, become good, become righteous, become honorable.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

So different people try different things for that.

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

For example, taking a child to the mosque

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

is a very good thing.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

That a person is attached to the mosque,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

a person takes him to school on Saturdays

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00

and Sundays.

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

It is better than nothing, if not every

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

day, then one or two days a week,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

at least we are getting education and training.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

But if we look at the Holy Qur

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

'an, Allah wants something different from this.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:24

Allah says, O you who believe, fear Allah,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

be mindful of Allah, be with the truthful

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

and the truthful.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

Now this Sidq is a name of quality.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

What does Allah want?

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

To be with those with qualities.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

Now to be with those with qualities, one

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

has to find those qualities.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

If a person is lacking in righteousness, then

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

find the righteous.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

If a person is lacking in truthfulness, then

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

find those with truthfulness.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

If a person is lacking in modesty, then

00:03:55 --> 00:03:55

find those with modesty.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

If a person is lacking in the love

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

of Allah, then find those who have a

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

connection with Allah, who have the love of

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

Allah.

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

This is what we need to look for.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

When a person is ill, doesn't he look

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

for a good doctor?

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

Doesn't he look for a good cardiologist, nephrologist,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

etc.?

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

Let's go and see where he studied, where

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

he did his residency, where he became a

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

doctor.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

Let's go to the person who has the

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

best ratings, even if we have to wait

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

a little.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

Similarly, we will have to find such people

00:04:35 --> 00:04:35

in the religion.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:41

Because a person's psyche is special in that

00:04:41 --> 00:04:45

it is more influenced by the Nafus than

00:04:45 --> 00:04:45

by the Nukush.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

Nukush means Naksh.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

Instead of reading books, one has to read

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

the books, the stars.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

Instead of Nukush, it is easier to follow

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

the Nafus.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

It is easier to follow.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

That's why if you look at the languages

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

we have learned since childhood, now we didn't

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

bring any language from Allah.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

But Allah has put a special feature in

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

every child that he acquires the language.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

Now what do they do?

00:05:16 --> 00:05:16

They follow.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

Those who have Koonu, those who have Jura,

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

i.e. mother or father.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

Now if the parents speak Punjabi, the child

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

will start speaking Punjabi.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

If the parents speak Pashto, the child will

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

start speaking Pashto.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

If they speak English, the child will start

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

speaking English.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

This is a common thing.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:32

It is understandable.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

Allah has put it in our nature to

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

follow.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

And we do.

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

The person who says that we don't follow

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

anyone.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

No, this is not true.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

Every person follows someone or the other in

00:05:45 --> 00:05:45

everything.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

Yes, he will innovate something or the other.

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

He will improve something.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

However, he does follow.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

Someone has made new clothes or fashion.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

He will also improve on the previous fashion.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

Someone has made a new wallet.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

There is no revelation from the previous wallet.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

According to the previous wallet, he will improve

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

a little, change the design and make it.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

So we follow in everything.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

Whether it is worldly knowledge or religious knowledge.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

Now we go to universities and spend thousands

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

and millions of dollars.

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

Why?

00:06:20 --> 00:06:23

If you could get all the knowledge from

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

books, you would get everything on YouTube.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:34

But going to a university, going to a

00:06:34 --> 00:06:39

college, taking admission, learning with teachers, doing research,

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

this is a whole process.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

Then you go and get a bachelor's, master's

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

or PhD.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

So you will see a very small lack

00:06:48 --> 00:06:48

of this in religion.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

We do not pay attention to this.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

Allah wants us to be connected with good

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

people.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

He did not tell us to meet once

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

a week.

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

He did not tell us to meet once

00:06:59 --> 00:06:59

a month.

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

What do we do?

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

On a Friday, we go and listen to

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

the speech of the Maulvi.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

With great difficulty, we try to go on

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

the occasion when the prayer is about to

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

start, so that we do not have to

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

listen to the entire speech.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

This is a very superficial connection.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

You do not see this in the companions.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

You do not see this in the followers.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

The companions were not with the Prophet.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

That is why they are called the companions.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

Ashab-e-Rasool.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:33

Because of the companionship.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:39

They understood that that if you want to

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

get a position, you will get it through

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

companionship.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:42

You will get it through connection.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

And after connecting, what was their nature?

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

The Holy Qur'an testifies to this.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

That they used to listen and act.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

So first of all, connection.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

After connection, listening.

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

And after listening, acting.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

Today, first of all, we do not connect.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

If we connect, we do not listen.

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

We do not listen.

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

Do you understand the difference between listening and

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

hearing?

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

Listening means that the voice enters the ears

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

and enters the heart.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

Hearing means that only one ear comes out

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

and the other comes out.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

We do not make a place in the

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

heart.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

That is called hearing.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

So, listening.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

Meaning, listening to something, listening from the heart,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

and acting on it, obeying it.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

So, this is a temperament.

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

In this temperament, you are searched for.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

In this temperament, you are searched for.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

In this temperament, you are entrusted.

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

This is a temperament with a lot of

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

trust.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

Now, look at me, if you go to

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

a doctor or surgeon, I remember, two and

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

a half years ago, I don't know, or

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

maybe before that, I had to go to

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

the hospital.

00:08:56 --> 00:09:01

Now, the doctor, the surgeon, I didn't know

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

him.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

Neither did I know him, nor did I

00:09:03 --> 00:09:03

know him.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

I just knew that this person is in

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

this hospital.

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

He is lying here.

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

And, he is board certified.

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

Meaning, this person was certified.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

Now, if that person faints, we are there

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

for him.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

If that person puts something in the breathing

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

tube, we are there for him.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

If he takes a knife and cuts through

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

it, we are there for him.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

This is called complete trust.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

Meaning, with our heart and soul, with our

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

life, we have a trust relationship with the

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

doctor.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

We never even question him.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

Meaning, before fainting, we don't say, no, doctor,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

I don't trust you.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

We question him.

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

We answer the question.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

And, we are usually satisfied.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

So, this is what a person should do

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

in this world as well.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

When you see a good friend, when you

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

find a good friend, then, you should also

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

trust yourself.

00:09:56 --> 00:10:01

You should connect with that friend and with

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

the intention to gain something from him.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

A person does not go to a doctor

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

without a purpose.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

Nor does a doctor allow a patient without

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

a purpose to come to him come and

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

have tea with me.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

He knows that my time is precious and

00:10:17 --> 00:10:17

I don't want to waste his time.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

Similarly, when Allah the Almighty grants a good

00:10:22 --> 00:10:26

friend, then, connect with the purpose.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

Try to achieve the purpose.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

The eyes, the prize, whatever it is called,

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

should be there.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

Then, Allah the Almighty gives you complete benefit.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

So, for the children and for yourself as

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

well, you should take special care of this

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

thing that you should have good company and

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

get along with good people.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:49

If you this one thing, then, you will

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

see that there are a lot of diseases.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

There are a thousand kinds of diseases.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

There are psychological diseases, lustful diseases, satanic diseases.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

Allah the Almighty protects you from all of

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

them.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

There is so much benefit in this.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

A community is formed, a support structure which

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

is called like-minded people.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

Every person has the same purpose and is

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

connected to the same thing.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

Sometimes, a person procrastinates or feels lazy, then

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

another person picks it up.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

When a person starts falling, then another person

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

supports him.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

So, there is a lot of benefit in

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

this.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

You can get a practical example of this

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

in the Tablighi Jamaat.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

Our Mufti, Rafi Usmani Sahib, may Allah have

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

mercy on him, when he used to come

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

here, once, in his speech, he explained the

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

meaning Koonooma Sadiqeen.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

He said, look, the lowest level of this

00:11:43 --> 00:11:43

is that which a person does in the

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

Tablighi Jamaat.

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

What happened is that a person went to

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

the mosque and the effect of sitting in

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

the mosque for 3 days, for 10 days,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

for 40 days, etc.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

A person goes for 4 months.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

So, it is the company of pious people.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

So, the environment of the mosque is the

00:12:04 --> 00:12:04

company of pious people.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

So, a person starts seeing So, at the

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

very least, keep this much.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

He said, above this, what the Shariah wants

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

from us is that a person has a

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

reforming relationship.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

A reforming relationship is that a person good

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

and bad, halal and haram with a person

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

about these things.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:31

Usually, the teachers in the madrasas or the

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

imams of the mosques are there because if

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

there is a question, a person goes and

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

asks it.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

This is a reforming relationship.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

All the teachers in our madrasas, we used

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

to reform all of them.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

We used to talk about reforming or by

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

scolding or lovingly.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

They were good people, Mashallah.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

So, the highest level of this the Qur

00:12:57 --> 00:13:02

'an wants is that a person should in

00:13:02 --> 00:13:06

someone's hand and establish a spiritual and spiritual

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

relationship with someone.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:14

And like a dead person who supports himself,

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

a person supports himself.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

There is a complete submission state.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

A person says that a person spiritual relationship

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

with someone.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

Whoever gets this is very good.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

So, there are levels.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

There are levels in If a child wants

00:13:33 --> 00:13:37

to go to a community college, that is

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

also a level.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

If a child a four-year public school,

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

that is also a level.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

If a child a private university, that is

00:13:45 --> 00:13:45

also a level.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

If a child goes to an Ivy League

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

college, that is also a level.

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

There are levels.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

Similarly, there are levels in At least, a

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

person should have a with the mosque or

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

Tablighi Jamaat.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

A person a relationship with the mosque A

00:14:03 --> 00:14:10

person should a relationship with the or Tablighi

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

Jamaat.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:50

should have a relationship

00:14:50 --> 00:14:57

with or a Hazrat Ma'ruf Karkhi, Hazrat

00:14:57 --> 00:15:03

Abdul Qadir Jilani, Hazrat Shahabuddin Soharwardi, Hazrat Khawaja

00:15:03 --> 00:15:10

Muinuddin Chishti, Hazrat Ali Hajweri, Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband,

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

Hazrat Mujaddad Al-Afsani, Hazrat Shahab Waliullah, All

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

of these names were chosen by Allah to

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

give the role of Murabbi Muzakki for the

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

Ummah.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

Those who are fortunate enough, Alhamdulillah, should also

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

try to have this sohbat with them.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

The more the sohbat is fixed, the more

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

spiritual progress it will have.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

This is a very simple thing.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

The more the sohbat is fixed, the more

00:15:44 --> 00:15:44

spiritual progress it will have.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

Sohbatul Muazzam.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

But the sohbat does have an impact.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

This is why the Hadith of the Holy

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

Prophet Muhammad PBUH states, Al-maru ala deeni

00:15:55 --> 00:16:03

khalilihi A person has an intimate relationship with

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

his Khaleel.

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

In our Punjabi language, it is called Yaarbali.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

Yaarbali is on the path of Khaleel.

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

The way Yaarbali works, we will work in

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

the same way.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

This is why it is important to have

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

good Yaarbali.

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

Sometimes, Yaarbali makes us do bad things.

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

This is why it is important to have

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

good Yaarbali.

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

Those who have good Yaarbali will have a

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

good impact.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

Those who have good friends will have an

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

easy path.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

You are understanding the degrees, right?

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

In your life, you should have at least

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

one of these degrees.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

You should have at least one of these

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

degrees.

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

If you have a high degree, then you

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

will have a good impact.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

This is a gift from Allah.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

A person should take advantage of this.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

Now, how do we take advantage of Mashayikhs?

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

There is a light in the sohbat.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

This can be seen from the Hadith.

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

A person sitting in the sohbat of such

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

people is never doubtful.

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

The Holy Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, that he

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

is not rejected.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

So, this is how it is.

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

His Zikr has its own impact.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

Allah puts His Zikr's impact on others.

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

So, his silence also has an impact.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

It is not necessary that he would always

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

sit and speak about some reformation.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

You will find a lot of Mashayikhs like

00:17:27 --> 00:17:27

this.

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

They were very quiet.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:34

For example, Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah, who was

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

a sheikh of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Thani, was

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

a very quiet person.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

He was a very quiet person, but his

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

attention was very strong.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

So, Allah had given him something.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

So, Hazrat Khawaja brought Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Thani

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

to his students.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

He was quiet.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

Now, if someone came to him and said,

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

that Hazrat, you should keep narrating, it will

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

be very beneficial for the students.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

So, he did a very good thing.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

I really liked this thing.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

He used to say, those who have not

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

learned anything from our silence, will not learn

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

anything from our words.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

This is how it really is.

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

Because words are the actions of the tongue.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

It is the action of the ears.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

Listening to words is the action of the

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

tongue, and the action of the ears.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

Taking advantage of the company is the action

00:18:25 --> 00:18:25

of the heart.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:30

It is like a magnet, which is attracting

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

the effects.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

As it is, someone said, I live my

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

heart's world in this way, I remember the

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

silence of the tongue in my heart.

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

And love is the action of the heart.

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

The picture of the beloved is in the

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

heart, the one who is bowing his head.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

There is no action of the tongue, nor

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

is there any action of the tongue, nor

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

is there any action of the ears.

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

This is the different part.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:06

The senses, which we call, the five senses

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

do not have any action.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

Neither to see with the eyes, but the

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

eyes are bowed.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

Neither to speak with the tongue, nor to

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

listen with the ears.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

Do we know the habit of the Prophet?

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

The habit of the Prophet was that he

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

used to have very long discourses.

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

We have to have long discourses.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

The Prophet used to have very short discourses.

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

But as it is said, to close the

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

ocean in a cocoon.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

Those discourses used to be very short.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

So short, that they would go straight to

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

the heart.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

And the companions, they had made up the

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

temperament to listen and act.

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

So Allah used to do it according to

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

their temperament.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

So it was just a little discussion.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

There was not much of a long discussion.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

Because it could have been a very long

00:20:31 --> 00:20:31

discussion.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

But the parents who are contemplating what to

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

do with their children.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

Especially here, the environment is such that you

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

see filth everywhere.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

Filth in the environment.

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

Because of which, there is filth in the

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

mind.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

The eyes become impure.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

And the ego moves towards evil.

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

So when we are living in such an

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

environment, then we may have to work hard

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

to protect ourselves.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

If someone was in Afghanistan, it is a

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

pure environment there.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

So it is possible that they may not

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

have to work so hard.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:16

They may have to do what is needed.

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

We also remember that when we were growing

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

up in our society, it was a good

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

thing.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

We did not have to do much extra.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

But now, as the generations are coming, we

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

need more hard work.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

We have to change our tactics.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

So now that person says, we did this

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

in our childhood.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

That was our childhood.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

The society was different.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

The environment was different.

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

That person did his work.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

According to today's society, according to today's environment,

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

according to today's people, we have to adopt

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

similar tactics.

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

Our children who go to school, we have

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

no idea what kind of filth is there.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:03

There is an invitation of sin from all

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

sides.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

It is an open invitation.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

No one is asking.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

No one is saying.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

No one can say.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

In such a situation, if they are saved

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

from sin, then they are the true saints

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

of Allah.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:23

So, we should not put extra burden on

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

them.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

We should bring them into good company.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

A place where they are inspired.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

A place where they are motivated.

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

A place where they feel that we also

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

have to change.

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

We also have to become something according to

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

our religion.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

We should draw their heart to this.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

Some call it taste.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

Some call it taste.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

To become the taste of Allah.

00:22:43 --> 00:22:47

Meaning, the taste of something that one is

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

addicted to.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

That is called taste.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

If there is a desire to taste something,

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

that is called taste.

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

I am very fond of eating ice cream.

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

If you eat ice cream once and then

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

eat it again and again and then you

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

feel like eating it again and again, then

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

it becomes a taste.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

So, in order to create God's pleasure and

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

God's taste, one has to sit in the

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

company of God's people.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

So, InshaAllah, try and work hard for this.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

And the young people, those who are not

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

married, they should also think ahead, InshaAllah.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

Those who are married, those who do not

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

have children, should also think ahead.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

And those who have children, should also pay

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

attention to this.

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

I personally hope that God will protect the

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

faith of my husband and I.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

May God grant us a life of goodness,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:39

righteousness, and purity.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

Ameen, Rabbul Alameen.

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

And finally, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
