All praises belong to Allah

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

We praise him. We seek his help, his

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

assistance

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

in all our matters. We send peace and

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

blessings upon

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

our Habib, our beloved Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi

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

wasalam,

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

upon his family, his companions, and upon all

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

those who follow him up until the last

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

day.

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

My brothers and sisters, welcome to Juma' Khutba

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

summary. The topic of today's Khutba in Dubai

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

is, Oh, my son,

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

I advise you.

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

SubhanAllah,

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

we know children

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

are blessing from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

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

They are the gift from Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala. They are the coolness of our eyes.

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

They are those

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

through whom we find

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

enjoyment,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

pleasure and joy and happiness.

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

SubhanAllah,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

we do not need to forget that they

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

are

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

an Amana as well. They are the trust

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

as well,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

And this is the reason, SubhanAllah,

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

the Quran and Sunnah

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

have got so many advices

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

for us when it comes to our children.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says in the

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

Quran,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

you see kumullah

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

fee awwladiqum.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

Allah Abu Izzah, He instructs

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

you

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

concerning your children.

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

SubhanAllah,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

Allah Almighty,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

he gave this gift of children,

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

and obviously, this gift is an Amanah, is

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

trust,

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

And this

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

trust, we will be accountable for. Therefore, we

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

need to understand

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

that we need to advise

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

and keep advising our children

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

for that which is good, for that which

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

prevents them

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

from any wrong

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

and evil. SubhanAllah.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

The first thing, my brothers and sisters,

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

that we see throughout the Quran and the

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

Sunnah

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

regarding the advice to our children

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

is the advice of taqwa.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

So you and I as parents, we need

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

to advise our children

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

to gain the taqwa of Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala, to be Allah conscious

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

because indeed when our children become

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32

taqwa,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

when when our children become, you know,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

people of taqwa,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

they will gain

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

real wisdom, they will gain

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

real pleasure, they will gain

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

real respect, they will gain real discipline, subhanAllah,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

because the taqwa of Allah

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

it actually

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

makes

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

a mind

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

fully conscious of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

when a person

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

becomes conscious of Allah, he will follow the

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

commands of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. He'll obey

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

the orders of Allah. He will do what

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

Allah commands him to do. He will prevent

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

from that which Allah prohibits

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

him to do. So you and me, we

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

need to advise our children

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

for the taqwa of Allah to gain the

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

taqwa, the consciousness

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We see in

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

the Quran, you know, Luqman,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

he said to his children,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

You booniyah

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

la tushirk billah.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

Oh my son, never, oh my children, never

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

ever associate partners

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

with Allah subhanahu ta'ala. That is the tawheed

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We need to

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

instill

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

pure

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

concept of God in our children. We need

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

to

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

help them develop

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

the consciousness of Allah

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

with clear

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

understanding

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

of who Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala is.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

Mind you, my brothers and sisters, if we

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

are successful in connecting our children with Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you will be the happiest

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

parent

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

on the face of the earth because this

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

is the task that Allah Almighty is going

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

to ask us and we will be accountable

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

for that that we have the trust from

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

Allah subhanahu ta'ala. So, my brothers and sisters,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

there are plenty of advices that we find

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

in the Quran and in the Sunnah

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

regarding our children. The I the the the

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

idea is that we find the right timing,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

the right way.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:33

With compassion,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

with mercy,

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

with wisdom, we need to keep advising

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

our children for that

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

which is good for that which helps them

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

to be successful

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

in this world and in the hereafter as

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

well. So we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:04:50 --> 00:04:50

to make us

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

among those who can be right

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

in terms of parents,

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

who can be

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

wise parents, who can be mindful

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

parents. My brothers and sisters indeed when we

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

gain taqwa of Allah,

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

we will become the role model for our

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

children to gain taqwa. Taqwa. So, we got

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

to do what we want our children,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

you know, what we expect from our children

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

to do. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, we

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

need to keep advising

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

our children for that which is good Insha'Allah.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

We need to help them,

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

advise them, counsel them, suggest them,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

and keep doing that. Don't ever lose hope

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

in the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

And Insha'Allah, we can find serenity peace

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

and coolness

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

in our children's life

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

us among those who

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

can follow the guidance of Allah and his

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

messenger. We ask Allah almighty to grant well-being

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

and goodness to his highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin

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

Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

We ask Allah

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

to bless all the rulers of the Emirates

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

and we ask Allah Almighty to grant

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

peace and prosperity to this beautiful nation, the

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

UAE and protect it from all kinds of

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

evils and harms. We ask Allah Almighty to

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

grant mercy on all the Muslim lands. We

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

ask Allah Almighty to grant

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

peace to all those who are suffering. We

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

ask Allah Almighty to grant guidance

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

to the entire humanity.
