00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			So just my feelings now. We have to
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			put those on the back burner, as they
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			say, and take into consideration
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			what's more important.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			And
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			it's this doesn't seem sensible
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			to keep saying, okay. I wanna move here
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			because this is better. This is better for
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			the family. Mhmm. But yet you have offspring
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			in different locality,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			and they don't hardly see you or get
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			to know you. And you constantly you know,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			this is not correct. Am I correct? Yes.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			It's basically yes. It's a form of selfishness.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			Mhmm. But then, yes, when you come back
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			to the family like that, they need family
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			services. You know, what is missing here is
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			we don't have family services
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			where people, you know, can go and get,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			you know, proper,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			you know, digestion and proper conduct to their
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			families. Because many people, they are just raising
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			their family the way they want. This is
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			why children are suffering, you know, particularly Muslim
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			children, because,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			polygamy
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			and and divorce is so rampant in the
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Muslim society.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			So the victim is the child, but still
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			we have to look,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			back to the Muslim community.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			It's not the real problem here. It's not
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			the father, neither the mother, but it's the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			Muslim community
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			for not establishing
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			family services where people can go to get
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			better instructions
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			for how to raise children.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			Having, you know,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			distance is not a problem.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			When the children, they are under puberty,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			the first one who supposed to take care
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			of him is the mother.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			The father have to support and have opening
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			doors for visiting.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			But that doesn't mean that, they they he
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			must be very close to them. But they
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			have to open the visiting program
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			in the easiest way for the children and
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			for them, inshallah. But it's a problem. It's
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			not just matter of answering a question. It's
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			something we have to deal with. It's it's
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			a it's a problem.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			Yes. It's a situation.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Yes. But for for today, we want to
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			change our names, we want to change deen
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			to know the deen, but we don't want
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			to change situations.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			And I change and I think coming to
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Islam is not changing the name, but it's
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			changing situations.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Inshallah. Okay. The another one?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Yeah. I have a question. Okay.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			Still up? That is Okay. The the third
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			question.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			If we can't make it quick because of
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			the time.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			The third question? Yes. Someone come? Right. Islam.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			What the question is gonna ask about a
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			child that's being molested
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			by a father.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			Yes. What is the,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			the proper protocol
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			to deal with the father who molests his
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			his children as long as they? Again, we
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			have to have, you know, social services.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			Because there are a lot of investigation
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			before you take any responsibility or any any
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			any any law or any act against that
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			father.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			There must be investigation. Says
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			in Quran.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			If there's any corruption,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			a cause
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			in the society,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			they have to investigate first to get the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			root of the problem
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			before you hurt the feelings of others through
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			ignorance.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			So we have to be careful
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			because sometimes
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			the attitude of the father and what the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			father is doing is coming out of Islam.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			It's not just being a Muslim is enough
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			for him. He needs help. He's sick.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			He's really sick. He is out of his
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			mind. That's why he's doing certain things in
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			the house. So sometimes,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			before we deal with the the the depth
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			of power, the the the branches of the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			situation by Muslim brothers go there and beat
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			him up, and there's no need for that.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			They have to go back to the root
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			and try to bring it in a, you
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			know, right way. But it's a it's a
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			problem again that I think it's not something
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			we can't just answer.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			Yes.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Yes, you have more.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			Yes. 1.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Somebody is trying to ask. Even more questions.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Yes. Okay. No more question, Abundillah. From here?
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			Please. From here. Yes.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			Apart from giving this to the husband and
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			your wife Yes. Do
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			you have
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			any Islamic duties for the children to stand?
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			Islamic duties, yes. Children, they they they have
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			to what they call listen and obey. They
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			have those duties. They have, even even role
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			to play
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			when you come to like, education is their
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			duty. But going to school
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			is their duty to go to school. Because
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			if the parent pay the money, you have
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			to go to school.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			And struggle for your education is your duty.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			You are talking about duties of the children.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Listening to your parents
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			and humble. As you remember, I I told
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			you, you know, humble to them and and
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			lower your wings and all that is their
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			duties to do. It's the right. Like rights
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			and duties, they are just give and take.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			The right is the duty of the opposite,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			always.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Like,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			when the father is is giving and giving
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			shelter, giving help, the father have to have
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			the last word to say. We have to
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			respect the leadership of the father in the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			house.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			So that is their duty. The duty to
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			respect, the duty to follow, duty to humiliate
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			themselves in front of their parents, to humble
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			them, to give them kindness and sympathy, and
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			all that is their duty. Yes. So in
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			essence, if,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			they didn't feel in their due their duties
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			Yes. The children might Might feel their their
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			duties too. That's why when you give them
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			their rights, you get their your duties. But
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			if you don't give rights, don't ask for
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			your duties.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			Which is today is the nature of the
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			children. They love their rights, but they don't
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			want to talk about their duties. Children, as
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			soon as you tell them what they're supposed
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			to do, they say, I don't know.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			But they know how to even dial, you
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			know, 911 to put their parents in jail.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Children, they learn that today.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			They learn what is child abuse and all
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			this kind of thing. But they don't learn
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			even what they call mother's abuse or father's
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			abuse because the system don't want to teach
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			them that. So it's very okay. From here.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			I have once told a brother that,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			that marriage wasn't bad. Based on my past
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Islamic training. Mhmm. And I wanted to know
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			what makes marriage bad.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Because if you are married,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			if you
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			you meet you have what they call physical
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			desires.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			And physical desires, if you don't put it
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			in a halal way, maybe that will destroy
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			you to put it in a Haram way.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			Then avoiding Haram way and put it in
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			the halal way, that is bad.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			Allah commanded you to do halal
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			and commanded you to avoid doing haram.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			When you protect yourself from haram, moving towards
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			halal is Ibad. That's why marriage is Ibad.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Professor
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			said
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			that getting even having
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			the physical contact with your wife is charity,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			It's Ibadah.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			Yes. Okay.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			Now you mentioned earlier that beating the children
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			is a failure to communicate.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			Yes. But I remember reading a hadith in
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			a party
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			that the Rasool Allah, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			said that it is permissible to turn the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			child over your knee. Yes. So what I'm
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			saying what I wanted to know is, what's
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			the balance point? The balance point is what
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			happened? It's Two particles. Oh, 2 particles? Okay.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Because you're also,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			dealing when you're dealing with children Mhmm. In
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			which, let's say you have a single parent
