			All praise belongs to Allah the Most High and most merciful. We thank him and we seek His protection
and aid and forgiveness. And we asked him to save us from the evil of ourselves in the sins that we
commit. Indeed, who serve Allah guides no one can lead astray and whosoever Allah leads astray, no
one can guide I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah alone. And then
Mohammed Salah lo Allah He was seldom is his sleeve and messenger. The best of speech is a book of
Allah. And the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And the
worst of religious matters are those that are innovated, and every religious innovation is a bit on
		

			every bit dies. misguidance and every misguidance will be in Hellfire, a morbid
		

			a lot as though Jayla had made children.
		

			Part of the beauty of this life and men will be known Xena to hire to do
		

			they are a pleasure that we seek.
		

			Generally NASA Boucher in an ISA you will win. It's a pleasure that we seek.
		

			And we get fulfillment from
		

			and we are because of that.
		

			Also care for care about an anxious over.
		

			That is when you have a child. It's a responsibility.
		

			Yes, sometimes we need to be taught that it's a responsibility that we need to take care of. But
also biologically, emotionally, psychologically, you feel them to be an extension of you and so you
feel responsible for them. And there is this sense of anxiety about them that is also natural. And
Allah azza wa jal uses that to bring a point in the Koran,
		

			or your HIPAA document akuna Luciana to mean nothing. What do you mean tacky, Helen? How loafie I'm
in Cali thammarat Well, Saba holkenborg Villa Doria, Tonto artha, Saba Salafi now on factor, he
says, which among you would like to have a garden of day trees and
		

			fruits,
		

			grapes and fruits and their rivers flowing everywhere.
		

			Then also he says, but he is old. And he has weak dependent children. And at that age,
		

			when he is in most in need, he says something happens to his land and it destroys it. It burns
everything out.
		

			He says which among you would like to be this person.
		

			And allows though Jill brings this example for those who depend on other than Allah azzawajal
worship other than Allah or do things, not for Allah but for somebody else. When you need help,
you're not gonna find it just like that person. Who in his old age, having children that he worries
about turns to his garden, but his garden gets destroyed.
		

			But in this area, Allah azza wa jal recognises, and he conveys the anxiety that we have and we feel
about our children.
		

			And the question here for today's hopa is what is the best way to take care of them?
		

			And the answer is having taqwa
		

			the holistic, complete meaning of having taqwa is the best way to take care of your children.
		

			Allah azza wa jal when he says in the Quran, Illumina has so far the mono how la Rahim Allah maronna
Allah Allah mean Doria Babu Iman bow
		

			is Allah had selected Adam and new ohana family of Ibrahim and the family of Emraan above the rest.
He says descendents from each other
		

			progeny from each other. And that means, first that they're biologically related.
		

			But not only that,
		

			also means that in taqwa in religion, they are also related. They confirm and they support each
other. They bequeath they give out to their children that creed this religion.
		

			So boggle Herman Bob means not only biologically as you pass on
		

			your biological genetic information to your children,
		

			you need to pass on taqwa to them.
		

			And tougher of the two is the more important one. Because without suffer this existence is empty and
meaningless. So after you've given birth to them, you'd have to be thinking about well Am I only a
biological father or my also a religious spiritual father to them.
		

			So when you have Taqwa,
		

			then you are in the best position to take care of your children
		

			for a while as well to take care of them. And this happens in two main ways. One I would call the
invisible way, and the other is the more visible way.
		

			The Invisible way is a lot taking care of your children because of your chukwa in ways that you do
not predict or foresee
		

			in ways that escape your plan.
		

			And we have the story in Surah tilaka. When Allah zodion sense
		

			alhadeff and musala Hema cinema and the last part of their mission, which was to keep their wall
standing.
		

			And when a huddle explains what he has done to musala his cinema that he has, it did belong to two
orphans in the city. And underneath it is a treasure that belongs to them.
		

			And so he wanted to preserve this so that when they grow up, they can retrieve this money of theirs,
because they're orphans. The important
		

			cause, mentioned here
		

			behind their act, okay, Anna boo boo masala. And their father was pious.
		

			Allah zoegirl is telling us through narrating this story to us is that the piety of the father was a
cause for the preservation of the children. Now the Father, we can assume it's the father or
somebody else in the family that they did their part financially. They collected money for the
children, taking care of their well being their future, etc, etc. And maybe they buried this
underneath that wall to save it. Feeling perhaps that their end is near. So financially, they did
their part. But no matter what you do, no matter how much you invest worldwise, your efforts could
come short. You may not live long enough to take care of your children. You may not have the power
		

			and the foresight to be able to take care of them. But then if you have Taqwa Allah will compliment
and Allah azza wa jal will cover areas that you could not cover. So I'm collecting and I'm saving
for my children, and putting them in the best schools and bringing them the best tutors and buying
them everything that they need in the hope that when they're as adults, when they grew up as adults,
they'll be the best that they can be, but you have no control over them.
		

			What is the thing that can control them can steer them in the right direction? Who if you were to
pass on today, if you were to die today and you have young children who will take care of them?
		

			Here comes the answer from that incident to tell you that if you are pious, Allah defends you.
		

			doesn't he? Know how you would appear on him? Idina Amman, Allah defends the believer, so a lot
defends you, but also everything that is dear to you, including your children.
		

			So it happens in invisible ways that you will not be able to foresee but if you are really a person
of taqwa or if you are really worried about your children, the best insurance policy that you can
buy is not an actual insurance policy but be good with Allah azzawajal so that he could save your
children feel.
		

			What is on the border between the visible and the invisible is to make do out for your children.
		

			Before the
		

			are born after they are born when they are adults, whether they are on the right path or not,
whether you are talking or they are talking to you or not, never and never sees making dua for your
children because it's an accepted to
		

			the reality, it's an accepted. And you know that when you make dua for your children really comes
from your heart. So you never give up. It doesn't matter what they're doing, how committed or on
committed they are, but you keep making out to them. And you will see that the prophets of Allah in
the Quran, they made up for the children, which knock Neil urbania and protect me and my children
from the worship of idols, while slowly he do reality, and fix my progeny for me, have led me nazwa
Gina was Maria, Tina kurata. and grant us from our spouses from our mates and children, a pleasure
to our eyes.
		

			So seek that out that you find in the Quran and repeat it. And also use your own words and keep
making dua for your children. Some of us that children die before them.
		

			But even after their death, you keep making up for them. Because you're positioned to be the best
person who can make up for your child.
		

			As we want them also to be pious enough so that when we die, they remember us with their good job.
		

			But now, there are also more visible ways where your taqwa helps your children.
		

			And the first of that is that
		

			you are
		

			the best and the first teacher to your child.
		

			And how you want them to be is exactly how you're supposed to act.
		

			Close your eyes and say to yourself, whether you have children, or yet to have them, there's still a
thought in your head, say to yourself, how do I want them to be?
		

			What How do I want them to behave?
		

			What type of person would I want my child to be? When he's young, when she's young, or when they're
older.
		

			And then open your eyes and say, well, that's exactly how I'm supposed to be.
		

			Because they will look at you, as an example, as a teacher. And they will mimic and produce whatever
you are doing. Your behavior is going to teach him what's important and what is not.
		

			Your behavior is going to tell them what kind of people they're supposed to be. And your preaching
cannot contradict your actions. Because they're going to look at what you're doing rather than what
you are saying. You can't expect them to pray on time. When you don't pray on time. They're not
going to take us seriously. You don't expect them to dress modestly. If you don't dress modestly.
They're not going to listen to you.
		

			You don't expect them to have adapt.
		

			When we don't exhibit them. You want them to have good manners. Teach them good manners by
practicing good manners. You don't want them to lie.
		

			They should you don't want them to lie. You shouldn't lie.
		

			You want them to be on time that you should always be on time.
		

			You want them to behave in the masjid, you should behave in the masjid. You want them to learn the
religion of a lot. We're gonna come to this point you want them to learn the religion of Allah,
you're supposed to learn the religion of Allah as well. You're supposed to do these things. Some of
us want the best for our children, but somehow exclude ourselves from it.
		

			We bring them to the masjid and I talked about this before we bring them to the masjid. You study
you attend the halaqa you learn this and that but not me. We drop him off in the masjid as
babysitting and then we leave
		

			or bring them to the * up. I heard this repeatedly, especially among the sisters. They come to
the masjid during Hello cause I hope that's not happening during the football, but during * of us
and the talk
		

			and they're busy with their phones and when your child sees that, what are you telling them about
the halaqa?
		

			What are you telling him about his steaming the words of Allah azza wa jal and the hadith of
Rasulullah sallallahu send them when you're coming in the masjid simply to talk and socialize.
		

			And that's the purpose to stay in.
		

			But if you come to the house of Allah azza wa jal and you want your child to sit and listen
		

			and appreciate what they're listening to, you have to do the same thing. sitting beside them, from
an early age teach them an adverb in the house of Allah.
		

			Virgin, teach them the importance of what is being said. Talk to them about it when you leave make
them feel that this is valuable so that they continue to steam it later on.
		

			So taqwa means, first of all, an application and a model,
		

			anything that I want them to be, I should be.
		

			The second
		

			part of taqwa
		

			is that we need to learn our religion, in depth and in detail.
		

			How are you going to behave? How are you going to follow something that you do not know?
		

			How can you teach something that you do not know?
		

			So if I'm the first teacher,
		

			the first role model, I need to learn my religion, and more so in non Muslim countries than in
Muslim countries, because in a non Muslim country, you're going to be asked, by your own children.
Why are we doing this? while everybody else is not? That's not a question that you're going to
receive in a majority Muslim country, because everybody does the same thing. So it's not in
question. But in a non Muslim country, where you're the minority doing this thing, and everybody
else is not, in fact, everybody else could be attacking and criticizing this thing that you're
doing. It's natural for them to wonder, Well, why then are we doing it? Why are we praying? Why are
		

			we fasting? Why are we wearing the hijab? Why and why and why?
		

			And if you don't have the answer,
		

			then you can look ignorant. If you don't have the answer. You can then only stress obedience, just
pray just fast, just do this. And they're not going to feel convinced or motivated to do anything
because the only thing that you and I will do is shout at them. As denying the be obedience is
demand compliance, without them understanding why they should do any of these things and the
motivation that lies behind it. We need to teach our children and that's part of our taqwa as well
as we need to teach them about the fear of Allah azzawajal. We need also to teach them about the
love of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			The only thing that they can hear or are hearing from us do this, or your Brunon Hellfire, do this,
or Allah will send punishment upon you. Their relationship with Allah azzawajal is simply going to
boil down to a relationship of fear. And it's good to be afraid at times, but it cannot be the only
relationship you have with Allah subhanho wa Taala only that of fear. I'm afraid of Allah all the
time. Where is the love of Allah subhanho wa Taala where he's doing something because I'm seeking
Heaven, where he's doing something because I'm thanking Allah for the near ama that he had given me
where he is doing something because this is the best that I can do because that's Allah's command.
		

			Here, taqwa means understanding our religion in detail, and this is why as an adult,
		

			if you decide to have a child, and I know some of us are not ready for it until it hits us but since
you have decided and since this is a responsibility the Lord had given to you and will ask you about
it. You need to be regular and learning your religion and more committed to it and serious about it.
Because Allah zodion will ask you about that Amana and don't think just basically dropping them in
the masjid and picking them up later. Or having them somebody teach them while you abdicating all or
most responsibility is going to be enough. If you are not responsible for them, you will end up
paying the price later. When you ask them when you want them to do what's right. And they stopped
		

			listening to you and rebellion.
		

			So ask Allah azzawajal to make us of those who hear these things. Take them to heart and apply them
Apollo holy Heather was the Hello Honey welcome.
		

			hamdulillah Hamza and Kathy are on top and Mubarak and he was suddenly wa salam O Allah Rasool e
Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.
		

			Part of it also is understanding their reality, the context that they're living in.
		

			When they go to school, what do they learn?
		

			What is
		

			What is trending? What is what is what are they currently talking about what problems they're
facing.
		

			If I've come from a different culture, and there's a gap between me and them, I try it becomes my
responsibility, not somebody else's, my responsibility to try to bridge this gap so that I will
understand them so that when I talk to them, I can talk to them in relevant ways in ways that
they'll be able to understand talk to them about things that are for the will solve issues and
problems that they are facing. I won't be preaching something theoretical while in practice, they're
suffering from something else. So I need to understand that reality. And I need to bridge that gap.
So also, part of my takeaway is that when I'm giving advice to anybody, including my children, I
		

			need to understand the reality what is it that they can apply, and what is not possible and how can
they best apply it. So if I want also the best for my children, misunderstand where they live, and
their problems and try to address these problems as well. And for that, we need to talk to them.
		

			We need to talk to them maybe more than your father and your mother had talked to you. But you need
to establish that communication and see
		

			here
		

			is a space here is a person that you can always come back to
		

			you can always share with me what is troubling you, we can find a solution together. And they must
feel close enough to you. And that again is the value of added the value of good character. My
father, my mother will listen to me, they will try to understand me they will offer solutions,
they're not going to bark commands at me, demanding complete obedience perfection, not realizing the
difficulties that I go through, no,
		

			open these channels and talk to them. And sooner or later, even if they go through phases where they
don't want anything to do with you. Sooner or later, they'll come back and they'll take advantage of
the opportunity of talking to you be the person who's imparting wisdom, giving them compassionate
advice, guiding them to the way at all time, explaining that you love them. And you want Allah
subhana wa tada to love them.
		

			You love them, and you want the best for them. And it's ultimately up to them whether they decide to
do this or that, but no matter what you're going to always keep making to offer them.
		

			Finally, and lastly, you are well aware, as the shift has announced before the hookah of the massive
floods that are taking place and devastating many lives in Somalia. So ask Allah azza wa jal, first
of all, to bring relief to that area and every any other area that is suffering. And we ask Allah
azzawajal, that to make that expiation of sins and removal of sins, and a lot of Zota to replace
that with his forgiveness and with his bounties and to make us eligible for his forgiveness and for
his bounties. And then our responsibility, then is try to offer help as much as we can, if we will,
we have absolutely nothing, then nothing less than your whenever you see somebody suffering
		

			anywhere. And the sufferings and problems are far beyond what we can do. But at least if every time
you see them, you just make a small draft with that person, a small draft for that nation. And at
least we'll take in some positive steps. But beyond that, if you can spare something, and if you can
give something than Allah azza wa jal will bless you for it, and teach also, let's connect it to the
hope but teach your children also to care about others as well. Have them donate some of their
allowance or give them some of that money and say, I want you to donate for that cause so that
they're always connected to their brothers and sisters, no matter where they come from, no matter
		

			what their background, no matter what their color is, as long as they are Muslims, they always feel
that person is my brother and that person is my sister, to ask Allah azza wa jal ramita teachers of
a religion and to put in our heart, the love for this religion, and to make us of those who learn it
well and to teach it well. We'll ask him a lot but allow me to grant us pious children and to help
us raise them as pious children and to make them pious children and united us with them in general
miniato but I mean, and protect us from all the fittest and protect our descendants from all the fit
and that which we know about them that we do not know about. Well as global elemi teaches our
		

			religion and Mike is an example and good role models was Kim subhanho wa Taala to bless us, bless
our families, bless our community, and bless the Mohammed Sall Allahu Allah, us and them, we ask him
subhanho wa Taala to send His mercy upon the Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam denied them of our
newest book and upon the sooner, the sooner
		

			profits of the low audio SLM they make the truth clear to us and to everyone all other Muslims, and
to make falsehood clear to us and all other Muslims and help us to follow the truth and to avoid
falsehood. We asked him subhanho wa Taala to forgive us all of our sins, to bring life back to our
hearts and make our hearts flexible and obedient to Him soprano with the other well as you are but
it mean that we would love you more than anyone else and feel you more than anyone else and seek
from you more than anyone else will ask you out to hamara Jaime to increase amen in our hearts,
grant us a sincere repentance and make our final abode and protect us from hellfire. Aloha mattina
