It is authentically reported
that in the second year of the hinge row in Medina
alioto the Allahu unfelt Lima rhodiola one her the daughter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were blessed with two children, two boys.
So they mentioned this to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam and the prophets on a low hourly he was suddenly became extremely happy. And so he went, and he saw his two grandsons and Hudson, and and Racine and he chose their names for them. And then after a number of days, he went and he performed the article on their behalf and you started to shape for each of those two boys, for hassanal for saying what your long run humor. And then he said to his daughter, oh, Fatima, go and shave the heads of these two boys. And then take that hair and wait and give the equivalent in charity in silver was a faulty model Viola and her when she weighed that here, and it came to one
dinner or one girl. And she went in she gave this in South Africa. Resolve also authentical reported that when the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were making his route from Mecca to Medina. At that time, a smart being to be Becker, the daughter of Abu Bakar Asma robiola, one one be her may Allah be pleased with her, and with her father. She was married to a zoo, even an r1. And she was pregnant at that time was they were making the hijra.
And the people of some of the people had said that the Muslims were making hedgerow from Mecca to Medina had been cursed. And that curse was that no child would be born from amongst them.
And so as they were performing this hitch road trip, as they were migrating from Mecca to Medina, she gave birth. And so the Muslims began to rejoice at the fact that this curse or what the people were saying was a curse upon the Muslims was obviously untrue. And at the fact that a smile of your loved one had given birth to a son, and he was the first companion or the first Muslim to be born after the Hydra. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam named him Abdullah the son of zubayr. And he took some dates and he chewed upon those dates and then he took saliva from his mouth from the date and he placed it within the mouth of Abdullah Abdullah zubia or the Allahu anhu ma. It is
also authentically reported that Abou palha are the Allahu I'm one of the wait companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came back from a journey. And when he came back home his wife almost surname robiola, one her have just the night before her son or their son, one of their children had passed away manabu palheiro The Allahu and returned, almost lame, even though she was in a state of morning, even though she had this calamity befall her. She beautified herself for her husband. And instead of informing him of this grave news, she chose not to tell him and so on that night they had relations. On the following morning she informed him that his son or his child had
passed away. When this news reached the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he made dua for Abu Taha, and for almost Celine robiola, who are in Houma, and after a few months, almost surname gave birth to another boy. When she gave birth to this boy, they were both overcome with joy. So they sent the boy to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with someone and they gave that man a number of dates to take to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam saw the baby boy he took him and he said to the man, that almost so lame give you anything else. So he said, Yes, so messenger of Allah, she gave me some dates. And so he took one of those
dates, he chewed upon it, and he took the saliva from his mouth, and he placed it in the mouth of this baby boy. It was also authentically reported in the eighth year of the Hydra. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself, had a son. And so he came out to the companions, and he said, I was given a son last night, and I chose to name him in the name of my father, Ibrahim, and this was in the eighth year of the Hydra. And this was the youngest and the last of the children of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi, wasallam. And Ibrahim lived for 18 months or so. And then
The 10th year of the Hydra he passed away or the Allahu Allahu Akbar.
The point of these narrations and there are many, many more of these is that throughout the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam and the lives of the companions of the Allahu anhu. Much Marian. There are many, many incidents, many narrations, many stories of newborn babies, of companions, giving birth to babies having children, and then the calm and the other, the etiquettes and the rulings that pertain to the newborn child. And when we look at these narrations from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, we see a number of things. The first of them is that as with everything else that Allah subhana wa Taala has legislated within our religion. He has made it a
part of our religion. It is a part of our sharing of our Deen all of those things that Allah subhanho wa Taala has legislated. It is in and of itself away and a means to attain gender. Just like marriage, the greatest purpose of marriage and the greatest goal of marriage is not that a person has a spouse or a companion, or just for the sake of having someone who can cook or clean for them, or someone who will earn money for them and a living wage. But the greatest goal and objective of marriage is that with your spouse, you will in sha Allah attain the pleasure of Allah and intend to Jenna that you will, you will achieve the objective for which you were created. And that
objective is as Allah says, Well Mahalo to origin now we'll insert in Lally a boon. I have not created the jinn, no human kind, except that they should worship me alone. And so everything that Allah legislates, he legislates for this purpose. So that it is a means to attain the pleasure of Allah. And if you use that means in the correct way, you follow the rulings of Allah, you follow the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam you do it with sincerity and integrity. In sha Allah it is a means for bringing you closer to Jenna for entering you into Jenna. And likewise the same is said with children. The greatest goal of having children of having a family of having this
family unit which within the Quran and within the sooner there is so much emphasis placed upon it. So that you may attain attain this goal, the worship of Allah and through the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala you attain Jana and that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hadith of another man he called the Allah one to zero Virgil were doodle were lewd. Fany MacArthur on becoming ambia Yeoman the Yama marry the women who are loving and fertile. For indeed I will come on the day of judgment and my own my my nation will be greater in number than any of any other prophet. In another Hadith the hadith of Ashura, the Allahu Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and nica whom insanity? From Amalfi Bansal, Nettie Valley samini, what is a word for in the McAfee don't become an oma yarmulke Yama to get married is from my son, and also ever leaves of my son now he is not from me. So marry, for indeed we will come on the day of judgment or I will come on the Day of Judgment. And I will have the greatest nation the greatest oma from amongst all nations. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a third Hadith that he saw that on your monitor, Yama prophet will come and he will have only three followers. And our prophet will come in only two followers. And a profit will come with only a single follower. And there will be a
profit on the Day of Judgment, who will have not even one follower, no followers, no one accepted his data or his message during his lifetime. He is still a prophet of Allah. And then the Prophet said, Sir Allah, Allah, he was selling them. I looked at the horizon. And I saw a vast nation of asked oma, so he said to gibreel alayhis salam, is this my nation? Will these be My people in the day of judgment? So gibreel replied, and he said, No, that is the nation of Musa alayhis salaam, but rather look to the other side of the horizon, for that is your oma. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that I looked on, I saw a vast multitude of people filling up the horizon. So the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam wanted us to get married, wanted us to have families wanted us to have children wanted us to have the family unit, not only because it will increase this man the size of the soma, and it will be a source of honor and pride for the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam on the Day of Judgment, but also because through that family unit, it is a means and a way of entering into Jannah In fact, it is one of the most accessible and easiest of means.
It's not always possible for everyone to go and study and seek knowledge. Notice everyone endowed with wealth so that they can see
And lots in charity, known as Does everyone have the natural drive to do lots of rabada, so that they fast all day and play all night. For most people, for the vast majority of people, they'll get married, they will have a wife or a husband at some point at some stage, and they will have children and they'll have a family. So it's something which is not only accessible, it's something which is the norm amongst most Muslims, that they will get married, and they will have children in sha Allah who
yet this way, even though we will consider it to be something natural, something which is just, you know, we, we just do it, because that's the way our families work, and we get married, and we have children. And it's like a cycle that repeats ourselves, from our parents, to us, to our children, to our one children, and so on. It is if it is done with sincerity, understanding the objectives and meanings behind it, one of the ways that you can enter into Jenna, and this is the beauty of Islam, how gender was in is within the grasp of every single person, sometimes with the easiest of deeds, or what we consider to be the most mundane of actions. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam that when a person dies, all of the action sees except from three. And from one of those three, and the Hadith is famous from one of those three is one Adam solly, from yet ruler, that you have a righteous child that will continue to make dua for you. Why am I just child, that child, if you give them the correct tarbiyah, you teach them about Islam, they learned from you how to pray, how to recite the Quran, how to make more dough, how to fast, they have a love for Islam, they do things for the sake of Islam, you get your share of that reward. And so it becomes a solder progeria for you becomes a continuous charity for you, even after your death. And then if they do the same
with their children, then you have a share of that reward. And if the grandchildren do the same with their children, you eventually get a share of that reward. Well hello Majora and it continues generation after generation. And so if everyone understood that objective of marriage of how Allah subhana wa Taala wants this from us, then Allah subhanho wa Taala would bless us and our families as well. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the authentic hadith that a person will come and your multi Yama and they will increase in rank and station in general. They will increase in station in Jannah. And so the person will say Allah, What is this for? I do not
recognize these actions. And imagine how Subhanallah on your multi Yama when the people will be in need of Dean's people will be looking for every single small deed that they can place on their scale of goodness, even on that day. Despite being this being the state of the people, they won't be able to lie, they won't be able to claim something which doesn't belong to them, they will have to be honest. And so when they see these deeds being presented for them for which they are given more reward, increasing in ranks, they won't just be able to remain quiet and take it hoping that no one notices, but rather from the justice of that day, is that they will have to say Oh Allah, where does
this come from? I don't recognize this. This doesn't belong to me. I never perform these actions in my lifetime. And so Allah subhana wa tada will say, this is from the actions of your children. And it is because of that, that you will enter into Jannah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hadith of Abu huraira, or the Allahu and collected in Sahih Muslim, that your young children, the children that die before you, under the age of puberty, when they die, those children will be the young people of Jannah. And on your malapa Yama they will come and they will take the hands or they will take the clothes the thought of one of you and they will walk with you. Just as if you
were to grab the clothes of someone else and walk with them. And they won't let go of you until Allah enters you and them into Jenna. So Pamela, just from having a child and that child and in this case the child dies and passes away before they even reach the age of puberty. Yet Allah subhanho wa Taala makes it a means of a person entering into gender. In another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would see a man from amongst the companions, who was constantly with his son. He would always bring his son with him, and he would always be with him. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam could see that this man loved his son was extremely attached to his son. So he said
to him one day, how much do you love your son? So the man replied, a messenger of Allah, may Allah love you, the way that I love my son. showing that this is how much I love him. May Allah love you.
The way that I love my son mean I love him in such a great amount. So after a number of days the profits on a long while he was selling them, so the man without his son. And so he said to the companions, where is this Manson? They replied, he passed away. His son died, he passed away. So the prophets on Allah, what are they he was sending him came to this man and he said, Would you not love that on your monitor Yama you should come. And at every single gate of general your son should be there waiting for you, so that you may enter with him into Jenna. The man said, O Messenger of Allah, is this something special for me? Or is it something jelmer for all of the Muslims, he said,
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it is something general for all of the Muslims. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would stress the importance of having children of how it is a means of you entering into gender sometimes without even your own doing. But if you have that child, and you have inshallah, the vision for them, that they will be a good Muslim, that you will teach them to love Allah, to love the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, to love the Quran, to pray, to know about their religion to be upon the correct Aveda and so on and so forth. Then inshallah It is one of the greatest means of you entering into Jannah. The Prophet said, Son, Allahu Allah, He will
send them that there is not a single person who three of his children died, except that they will be a veil and a barrier between them and the fire of *. And it's not just about children or boys or males. It is also about females as well, for the prophets on Allah, Allah, He will send them will speak about the girls in particular. And he mentioned a number of ahaadeeth concerning them, because in the times of joy helia before Islam, from the ignorance of those people is that they thought that the boys in terms of children were better than the girls. And so they would bury that girls alive, their daughters alive, because there was a source of humiliation for them. And there was a source of
honor for them to have boys. And Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions is in the way the Bush era had to home Bhima dorabella rukmani messin with a Bush era had to home balloon Zavala two homes with the wahaca limb. Your tower Amina Omen, su eema Boucher Robbie, are you siku, Allah Hoon, Amir de su, Rob alasa kumaun when one of them is given the news of having a daughter, you find that their face becomes blacken becomes dark, and they become extremely upset, as if they've been given the news of a calamity. And then they hide from the people because of the evil of the news that they were given. So either they won't allow that child to live but they will live a life of disgrace and humiliation
or they were bury them in the ground. How evil is that with they which they judge and that's why the Prophet said Sal, Allahu Allah, He will sell them. The two soever has two daughters, and he looks after them. And he gives them a righteous upbringing. That on the Day of Judgment, they will be the means for them to enter into Jenna.
This is how is your loss of Hannah water Allah has made Jana within the grasp of every single person. If you have two daughters that Allah has given you, and you're good towards them in the way that you bring them up. In the righteous therapy that you give them, they will be a means for you to enter into Jenna and your multi Yama and under the Hadeeth are inshallah the Allahu anhu. She saw one day that there was a woman who came and she had with them with her two daughters. And they were extremely poor, couldn't find anything to eat. And so they came to our insurer, the Allah who and her and they asked her for food, the woman the mother asked for food. So I shall mentioned to her
house and she saw that she had nothing except for a single date. So she came out and she gave the date to the woman. The woman has two young daughters who are hungry. And so she took the single date and she broke it into half. And she gave half to one daughter and the other half to the other daughter, and she remain hungry herself. And then she left the profits on a long while he was sitting him came in shortly after this. And so I shall not be Allah who I'm amazed at the way that our mother would sacrifice for her two daughters. She mentioned this incident to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, whosoever is tested with
two similar children, meaning you have two children, you're tested with this. I then you pass and you do well in that test. It will be a means for you to enter into Jenna. So how Allah subhana wa Taala has made for us, these children that we have, which is a normal process within our life that we get married and we have children. It is a natural cycle that all of us go through. If
ventually at one stage or another, the vast majority of us will go through this within our lives. How through that natural cycle through that normal cycle that we go through. It is a means of Jenna. a means of entering into Jana. Emma Malik Rahim Allah He was his mother who first told him to go and seek knowledge. And she said to him, it will help you know Robbie Hoffman other beheer cobbler in me, go to a PA and take from his etickets before you take from his knowledge is reported that it was the mother of Imam Shafi Rahim Allah that first told him to go and seek knowledge as well. And in some narration, she even sacrificed some of her wealth, and she sold some of her property so that
her son would go from Mecca to Medina to study with Emma Manik. rahima Hello, Tyler. It was the mother of Imam and Bihari Rahim Allah to Allah when he was a young boy and he was blind that she made due to a large soldier, that he should return the sight of her child. And he went on and became one of the greatest if not the greatest scholar of Hades ever to have lived. And so all of these people these mothers are Lima Malik, and emammal Shafi and emammal Bukhari Rahim, Allah and many other scholars that we don't know their names, or very few of their details, we know very little of their backgrounds, they have a share of the reward that their children did. Imagine sigh and Buhari
over 9000 Hadith. Imagine how much reward how many people have benefited from this book of Hadith. From that time, until today, the single most authentic completion of Hadith and all of that reward in sha Allah goes back to his mother. In a man he came Amma Shafi, the vast majority of the people have or ascribed to one of these methods. These are the most famous funnels that every Muslim knows the name of Iran, Maliki Musharraf theory, these are the scholars that everyone's heard of how practicing you are, you're not practicing, you're knowledgeable, knowledgeable, even the most basic of Muslims, the most, you know, the ones that have the most elementary knowledge of Islam will have
heard these names. And that reward goes back to their mothers, these people that we don't know, these people that we've never heard of these people that we don't even know anything about their lives. And they have a reward of this. And it's not just the scholars, per every single scholar, every single word scholar. And often you hear for example, you know, chefs today, so this reciters is famous reciters will say it was my father, my mother that first use encourages it was their sacrifice, it was because of what they did, that today we have reached the stage and be the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so they have a share of that reward. And this is how Allah
subhanho wa Taala is generosity and mercy runs, that when you do something good, and then there are good effects of the action that you perform, you have a share of the reward. And that's why the one who has the greatest of reward from the soma is our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that's why he has the highest of stations in Jannah. No other person will share within his platform, no other person will share his station with him. Because eventually all of this knowledge, all of this good deeds, all of this reward, goes back to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so one of the ways that we start the cycle, one of the ways that we begin with having inshallah a good
beginning for our children, so that they will be for us a sadaqa jariya a means for us in sha Allah, to come closer to Allah and to enter into Jannah is the way that we welcome them, when they first come into this life, the way that we even welcome them from the very first moment, when you follow the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and you do these seven or eight actions that I'm going to mention to you, when you do them and you perform them out of love for Allah and love for the son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and wanting good for your children and having a vision for them that they will insha Allah be a sadaqa jariya for you and a means for you
to enter into Jenna, then that inshallah in and of itself is a sign that you have started something which is good, that you have started them on the correct way. And this is the beginning. And then you carry on. And that's why when this Allah when people used to come to the scholars of the Center for Hema Humala, and they would say that we're going to have a child be born tomorrow, the next day next week, what shall we do? They would say to them, it is already too late. So the man would say, why is it too late? And they would reply because the first step in having righteous children is choosing a righteous spouse. Now that you've come to us, you've already married you have your right
to have your first child, the first step was choosing the righteous spouse. And so that's why having a righteous spouse, righteous children, choosing the spouse what you'd
With your children when they're born, all of these are so that we insha Allah closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala. So when we look at the sin of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there are a number of etiquettes when it comes to welcoming the newborn, into, into this life, the first of them is that it is the son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to spread this good news to give the glad tidings to the people and to spread the news. And it is a source of happiness and it is a source of joy. And that's why Allah subhana wa Taala mentioned in the Quran in more than one occasion, how the prophets of Allah were given the good news that they would be given children. And
so it was something which they would rejoice that and it was an open affair that they would rejoice that Allah Subhana Allah says regarding the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam, one up other jar to Rousseau Luna Ibrahima bill Bushra Paolo Salama Paula Salam from Allah visa Angela Abby originally in Hanif that Our Messengers meaning our angels came to Ibrahim alayhis salaam and they gave him that glad tidings. And they said to him Salaam and he replied, with the Salaam, and after a short while, he bought for them, a sheep that he had sacrificed. And so they came with the good news, what was the good news that Ibrahim alayhis salaam would be given a son and that son would be is married
to his Salam. Likewise, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in sort of modern young years a career in an Uber sureau can be a Golem Eunice mu yah yah mabuya lemenager Allah home in Cabo, Samia, I was a carrier, we give you glad tidings of a son that we have named yahia. No one has had this name before him. He was the first one to be given this name, the name of Yeah. And so Allah subhanaw taala mentions in a number of verses in the Quran, how the angels gave black tidings openly to the prophets of Allah subhanho wa Taala on the occasion of them having children alima mon Bihari Rahim Allah He mentions and what is the generation which remember even Angela Hema Allah also mentioned in
the body, that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was born for weyba, who was one of the slaves of his uncle, Abu lahab, she came and she gave him the good news. And so the prophet SAW Allah, the Prophet salallahu, Allah, He will send them uncle, Abu lahab, when he heard the good news that his brother had had had a child, he had a nephew, he set this woman free. And so even though, Rahim, Allah, Allah and other scholars of Islam, they say that it is from the etiquettes, of welcoming a new born into Islam, that you spread the good news, or that when you give when you are given the good news, you express joy. And one of the ways that you express joy is that you give a
gift to the one who bought you that news. So for example, if you came back from a journey, and then someone tells you that your wife gave birth to you, I mean, obviously now everyone knows with phones and so on. But in those days, when they were given this news, they would give a gift in return. And there are other generations regarding this as well.
The second of these, or the second of these etiquettes, which is mentioned
by some of the scholars is giving the oven in the right ear of the child. And this is an issue, which is often mentioned than in the right here and the apartment in the left ear. And there are many innovations which are ascribed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding this, the vast majority of them are weak, extremely weak, especially the ones that speak about giving the karma in the left ear. And the strongest of these narrations is the Hadith which is collected in a Buddha, Buddha and telemovie. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Fatima gave birth to Al Hassan, probably Allah when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came and he gave us land in
the right ear of Hudson. And this is in a Buddha wouldn't attend movie. And over this duration, the scholars differed, some said that it is Hasson and some said that it is weak. And so the spell is different as to whether this is the sooner or not. the opinion of the majority of the scholars of Islam is that it is something which should be done. And they say that one of the reasons for this is as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned in another authentic hadith, that when the child of Adam is born, one of the first things that takes place is the shape on comes and he prompts the child. And so when the child has provided he screams, and he begins to cry, and that's why every
child of Adam that is born, is screaming, comes out of the womb of the mother and they scream or they cry. And so these followers said that when the oven is given, we know also from the authentic son of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam that when the oven is given shape, one wins away shavon fleas, as mentioned in the number of generations from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So those scholars who said that it is authentic, they said that this is the wisdom behind it. This is the wisdom behind it so that the shape man who comes and punch your child or the child when he was born, he flees when he hears the other than that
As I said, this is an issue of difference of opinion. Amongst as far as IV stamina revolves around authenticity, or lack thereof, of the single Hadith in Abu Dawood and Timothy, the third of those common Adam, which is authentically reported from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is a technique and that is that you take something sweet, and the sooner is to take a date and chew on that date. And then to rub some of the saliva from your mouth into the mouth of the child, not to give the child the date obviously not to feed the date to the child, which unfortunately some people misunderstand this as being, but it is to just take some of the saliva and to rub it lightly into
the gums or the mouth of that child. And this is authentically reported from a number of ahaadeeth as I mentioned, in the story of Abigail Hannon, Celine rhodiola. One woman when they gave birth, when she gave birth to a child, she sent him to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam with a number of days. Likewise in the story of Abdullah zobayan, for the Allahu Allah when he was born, he was given to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and the prophets of Salaam performed technique with him, and also Abu Musab of the Allahu Amna region. Now when I was when I was given a child of a son, I gave him to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that I have named him Ibrahim, and then he took a date and he formed technique within the mouth of this child. And so this is the Sunnah, also established from the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam. And according to the majority of the scholars, it is not specific to the professor system, but it is a sinner for every one that they can perform. The fourth of those come and those etickets is the Africa.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would slaughter an animal on behalf of that child, they will slaughter an animal to show gratitude to Allah subhanho wa Taala for that child is mentioned in the hadith of Solomonic no animal or the Allah who I'm in Siam behati, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, with every single child that is born, there is an haqiqa so spilled the blood of that animal and remove any harm from the child. And so it is the son of the prophet or send them to perform what is known as the Akita, and is reported that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when al Hassan and Hussein Robbie Allahumma were born, he performed Africa for both of them, and he
gave two sheeps on behalf of each one. The Prophet sets on a long run, he will send them in another Hadith the hadith of Samara. In supernovae, the word which is authentic, that whenever a child is born, that is an are fake, or that is due to be offered, it is slaughtered on the seventh day, on the day the child is named, and his head is shaved as well. So the vast majority of the scholars say that it is the Sunnah, that RP can be performed on the seventh day. So the seventh day is the Sunnah for it to be performed. And there are narrations that say that if you can't do the seventh day you do the 14th or the 21st. However, this is a significant be performed obviously, it is better to do
so. But if a person for whatever reason is unable to do so than any other day is allowed as long until you perform an article. On that day. It was reported also that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam performed his own vehicle, and this is in a bubble Ronnie. The buffs are seldom after he when he was much older after he became a prophet of Allah, He gave up the account on behalf of himself. And so some of the scholars say that if a person's parents weren't able to give advice on their behalf, or for example, they embrace Islam, and so no Africa, I was offered on their behalf, that they should offer an Africa even after they have grown up. The fifth of those etiquettes is
that the head is shaped. And according to the vast majority of the scholars of Islam, this is for the boy alone, that it is the sooner in terms of the boy that the head be shaved. As for the girl, it can also be shaved, but it is not assumed now if a person wants to shave the head of that girl, so that the hair will grow back in a better way or whatever it is allowed but it is not a simpler procedure to do so the sooner is for the boy. And so the profits on longer and he will sell them in the hands of someone he said that the head be shaved as well for the boy. And as I mentioned at the beginning that he said to his daughter, Fatima rhodiola and her that take the hair and weight and
give it equivalent in charity in silver. And so it is the sooner that you weigh the hair and it's not going to weigh very much in most cases, and you give an equivalent amount in charity. The sixth of those advocates is to name the child. And so the son of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam. In some narrations that he said that he said on the seventh day, however, the scholars say that it can be named on any day the child can be named on any day. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam named his own son Ibrahim on the same night or the day after he was born. As he said that I was given a child last night and an A
It named him with the name of my father, Ibrahim. And so it is allowed for a person to name the child straight away, and the little cinema for them and one of the companions would come with a newborn baby and they would ask him to choose the name he would choose a name straight away. And if a person wants to delay this for a few days, it is also allowed. There are other Hadith that speak about how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam emphasized the importance of choosing a good name. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the most beloved of names to Allah is Abdullah and I'm the rock man. And so a person should choose a good name and name which has a good meaning.
And sometimes when one of the companions would come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with a name, he would change their name because he was displeased with the connotations of the name or the meaning of the name. And so to choose a good names on the scholars even said that it is the right of the child upon the parent even though the child's a newborn, it is the right of the child upon the parent, that the parent chooses for them a good name. And so that is also from the adapt of having a newborn child and number eight Finally, is the return or the circumcision, as is in the hadith of aborted or the Allahu Akbar I'm, and as mentioned Bihari, and Muslim and another Hadith,
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that it is from the fitrah from the natural
disposition of the Muslim that they should have the faith that they should have the return, or the circumcision. And it's also authentically reported in our Bukhari and Muslim but the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salaam, circumcised himself at the age of 80, at the age of 80, that he circumcised himself and so it is a sin and that the child be circumcised.
So, these are some of the common that are that the articles that are mentioned within the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam when it comes to the manners of welcoming the newborn child, but as I said before, that the most important and the reason why that these tickets have been given to us is to achieve that main objective of how the child of those children are a means for us to come closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala and enter us into Jannah. And so through those children and is a means for us to ensure long term again reward even after our death, that they continue to do good and we have a share of that reward and then their children to God and we have a share of that
reward as well. And it continues like this for generation after generation and we continue to see or to gain those rewards and inshallah we will see the benefit of on your multi Yama. So this is with that a brief summary of the karma and adapt of welcoming a new born into this life. Also the last minute of measurement early he was talking about Germaine, if there's any questions, inshallah we'll take them otherwise we'll conclude before you give me any questions.

Just how do you this authentic Baba Ronnie, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
made up on his behalf is authentic
that the child dies before the age of puberty.
So if the child dies, whilst within the woman will depend on how old the child was within the womb, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that after 120 days within the womb, the angel comes and he blows life into the into the child, and so the spirit is blown into the child. And so the scholars say that if the child dies before this time, he wasn't alive and so he's not really
You know he's not even living and so therefore there's no issue of gender or not because he's not even living but after 120 days wants the spirit is blown the child is living so if he were to die after this time then shall have the same rulings would apply and Allah knows best

for the girl the opinion of the vast majority of the scholars is that it is a similar football for the boys and the girls as the opinion of the vast majority of the scholars some scholars said there is obligatory for both boys and girls, some scholar said or is obligatory for the boys bro signal for the girls. But the strongest of those opinions and the opinion of the majority as far as I can remember is that it is a sooner for both the boy and the girl
and Allah knows best.
