00:03:49 -->
00:03:52
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
00:03:54 -->
00:04:03
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar
00:04:03 -->
00:04:10
Allahu Akbar I bear witness that there is
00:04:10 -->
00:04:17
no god but Allah I bear witness that
00:04:17 -->
00:04:26
there is no god but Allah I bear
00:04:26 -->
00:04:32
witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
00:04:33 -->
00:04:40
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
00:04:40 -->
00:05:11
of Allah I
00:05:11 -->
00:05:12
bear witness that there is no god but
00:05:12 -->
00:06:36
Allah Brothers
00:06:36 -->
00:06:45
and sisters, I wanted to speak to you
00:06:45 -->
00:06:48
today about the importance of our youth.
00:06:48 -->
00:06:52
We see around the world today many trials
00:06:52 -->
00:06:55
and tribulations that are afflicting the Muslims in
00:06:55 -->
00:06:58
Palestine, in Sudan, too many places for us
00:06:58 -->
00:06:59
to even mention.
00:06:59 -->
00:07:00
And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:07:00 -->
00:07:02
that he gives ease and suffering and victory
00:07:02 -->
00:07:04
to the Muslims wherever they may be.
00:07:04 -->
00:07:07
But if we look throughout history, we will
00:07:07 -->
00:07:11
notice sometimes some trials and tribulations don't end
00:07:11 -->
00:07:13
after a short number of years.
00:07:13 -->
00:07:16
It may be the case that one generation
00:07:16 -->
00:07:19
sees a calamity and then they pass away
00:07:19 -->
00:07:22
and the next generation of Muslims are the
00:07:22 -->
00:07:25
ones that overcome those trials and tribulations.
00:07:25 -->
00:07:27
And victory is given to the Muslims maybe
00:07:27 -->
00:07:29
in the second or third generation.
00:07:29 -->
00:07:31
And so it's very important for us brothers
00:07:31 -->
00:07:34
and sisters to think ahead, to plan ahead.
00:07:35 -->
00:07:39
And for us, more importantly, to reflect on
00:07:39 -->
00:07:42
our own time, the education of our children.
00:07:42 -->
00:07:45
Or is it just a case of neglecting
00:07:45 -->
00:07:47
them when they're in school and we don't
00:07:47 -->
00:07:50
really have a connection with them and a
00:07:50 -->
00:07:51
link with our children.
00:07:53 -->
00:07:57
And our children, brothers and sisters, will benefit
00:07:57 -->
00:08:01
as a result of our righteousness that they
00:08:01 -->
00:08:02
see when we're alive.
00:08:03 -->
00:08:06
And they'll also benefit from our righteousness even
00:08:06 -->
00:08:07
after we've passed away.
00:08:08 -->
00:08:10
In Surah Kahf, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:10 -->
00:08:12
speaks about the story of Musa and Khadir.
00:08:12 -->
00:08:14
One of the things Khadir a.s. did
00:08:14 -->
00:08:17
was he rebuilt a wall in a village
00:08:17 -->
00:08:19
which refused to give them any food and
00:08:19 -->
00:08:19
drink.
00:08:21 -->
00:08:23
And Musa a.s. when he inquired, or
00:08:23 -->
00:08:25
afterwards when Khadir a.s. told him about
00:08:25 -->
00:08:28
the wisdoms behind why he rebuilt the wall,
00:08:28 -->
00:08:31
he tells Musa a.s., as for the
00:08:31 -->
00:08:36
wall, then this wall belonged to two orphan
00:08:36 -->
00:08:42
boys in the city, and there was a
00:08:42 -->
00:08:43
treasure under the wall.
00:08:47 -->
00:08:49
And their father was a righteous person.
00:08:50 -->
00:08:53
As a result of the righteousness of the
00:08:53 -->
00:08:56
father, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guided, protected
00:08:56 -->
00:08:59
the interests and the affairs of the two
00:08:59 -->
00:09:00
orphan boys.
00:09:00 -->
00:09:02
So even after we pass away, brothers and
00:09:02 -->
00:09:08
sisters, our righteousness, our connection with Allah, the
00:09:08 -->
00:09:09
state of our iman and the level of
00:09:09 -->
00:09:13
our iman, will benefit our children after we've
00:09:13 -->
00:09:13
passed away.
00:09:13 -->
00:09:17
And the Messenger of Allah a.s. spoke
00:09:17 -->
00:09:20
about some things which will benefit the person
00:09:20 -->
00:09:21
after he passes away.
00:09:22 -->
00:09:27
From them, he said a.s., a righteous
00:09:27 -->
00:09:29
child that supplicates for him.
00:09:30 -->
00:09:33
When a person dies, a righteous child that
00:09:33 -->
00:09:36
you leave behind, and righteousness is something which
00:09:36 -->
00:09:39
we instill in our children through our tarbiyah
00:09:39 -->
00:09:40
and our education of them.
00:09:40 -->
00:09:43
This child, after we pass away, will benefit
00:09:43 -->
00:09:46
us through his duas, through his supplications for
00:09:46 -->
00:09:47
us after we die.
00:09:48 -->
00:09:50
And there are many examples, brothers and sisters,
00:09:51 -->
00:09:54
of the young companions of the Messenger of
00:09:54 -->
00:09:58
Allah a.s. who were given that nurture,
00:09:58 -->
00:10:02
that nurturing, that education, that tarbiyah when they
00:10:02 -->
00:10:04
were of a young age.
00:10:04 -->
00:10:08
And from them was one of the greatest
00:10:08 -->
00:10:12
companions of the Messenger of Allah a.s.,
00:10:12 -->
00:10:17
Ali ibn Abi Talib a.s. He was
00:10:17 -->
00:10:19
living with the Messenger of Allah a.s.,
00:10:19 -->
00:10:20
a nine-year-old boy.
00:10:20 -->
00:10:24
And he saw the Prophet a.s. and
00:10:24 -->
00:10:27
the Prophet's wife Khadijah a.s. praying together,
00:10:28 -->
00:10:29
unaware of what they were doing.
00:10:30 -->
00:10:32
He inquires as to what they were doing.
00:10:32 -->
00:10:34
He asks the Prophet a.s., what were
00:10:34 -->
00:10:35
you doing?
00:10:36 -->
00:10:39
And the Messenger of Allah a.s. doesn't
00:10:39 -->
00:10:41
see this nine-year-old boy and say,
00:10:42 -->
00:10:44
it's nothing, don't worry about it, you're too
00:10:44 -->
00:10:47
young to understand, when you're older I'll explain
00:10:47 -->
00:10:47
to you.
00:10:48 -->
00:10:52
Instead he starts teaching him about tawhid, about
00:10:52 -->
00:10:55
Islam, about how he is the Messenger of
00:10:55 -->
00:10:59
Allah a.s. As a result of this
00:10:59 -->
00:11:03
small and short conversation, Ali ibn Abi Talib
00:11:03 -->
00:11:06
a.s. there and then at the age
00:11:06 -->
00:11:08
of nine years old, accepts Islam.
00:11:09 -->
00:11:11
One of the first few people to accept
00:11:11 -->
00:11:14
Islam after Khadijah a.s. Some say the
00:11:14 -->
00:11:17
one who accepted Islam first after Khadijah was
00:11:17 -->
00:11:20
Ali a.s. And this was as a
00:11:20 -->
00:11:23
result of the wisdom of how the Messenger
00:11:23 -->
00:11:26
of Allah a.s. was speaking to Ali
00:11:26 -->
00:11:30
a.s. He wasn't neglecting him, he wasn't
00:11:30 -->
00:11:33
ignoring him, he started to teach, he took
00:11:33 -->
00:11:33
this opportunity.
00:11:34 -->
00:11:37
Didn't think this child is way over his
00:11:37 -->
00:11:38
head, he won't understand.
00:11:39 -->
00:11:43
Our children have the capacity to understand things
00:11:43 -->
00:11:44
that maybe we don't think they're able to
00:11:44 -->
00:11:45
understand.
00:11:46 -->
00:11:48
They may be far more intelligent than we
00:11:48 -->
00:11:48
think.
00:11:49 -->
00:11:51
From the other companions of the Messenger of
00:11:51 -->
00:11:56
Allah a.s. who were given this tarbiyah
00:11:56 -->
00:11:58
when they were young, they were given that
00:11:58 -->
00:12:01
attention was Ibn Abbas a.s. Ibn Abbas
00:12:01 -->
00:12:03
a.s when he was a child, and
00:12:03 -->
00:12:05
he was still a child when the Prophet
00:12:05 -->
00:12:06
s.a.w. passed away.
00:12:07 -->
00:12:09
He brought water for the Prophet s.a
00:12:09 -->
00:12:12
.w. And the Messenger of Allah a.s.
00:12:12 -->
00:12:15
made dua for Ibn Abbas a.s. And
00:12:15 -->
00:12:21
he said, Oh Allah, give him knowledge of
00:12:21 -->
00:12:24
the religion and give him understanding and knowledge
00:12:24 -->
00:12:24
of the Quran.
00:12:25 -->
00:12:28
Ibn Abbas a.s. became one of the
00:12:28 -->
00:12:31
greatest scholars of the companions.
00:12:32 -->
00:12:34
That dua had an effect.
00:12:34 -->
00:12:37
And it was said in the presence of
00:12:37 -->
00:12:41
Ibn Abbas a.s. Think about the psychological
00:12:41 -->
00:12:43
benefit this would have had upon this child.
00:12:44 -->
00:12:47
Hearing the Messenger of Allah a.s. supplicate
00:12:47 -->
00:12:48
and make dua for him.
00:12:49 -->
00:12:52
Ibn Abbas a.s. when he was still
00:12:52 -->
00:12:55
a teenager, during the leadership of Umar ibn
00:12:55 -->
00:12:58
Khattab a.s. Umar ibn Khattab would take
00:12:58 -->
00:13:01
him to the meetings that he would have
00:13:01 -->
00:13:03
with the senior companions of the Prophet s
00:13:03 -->
00:13:06
.a.w. People who were in their 40s
00:13:06 -->
00:13:07
and 50s and 60s.
00:13:07 -->
00:13:09
People who were in Badr and Uhud and
00:13:09 -->
00:13:10
other battles with the Prophet s.a.w.
00:13:11 -->
00:13:13
And he would include and involve Ibn Abbas
00:13:13 -->
00:13:17
a.s. Understanding his wisdom and his knowledge.
00:13:18 -->
00:13:21
And again, think about the confidence which is
00:13:21 -->
00:13:25
instilled in these young companions when they're involved
00:13:25 -->
00:13:28
in the affairs of the Muslims at this
00:13:28 -->
00:13:30
young age, still when they're teenagers.
00:13:31 -->
00:13:34
We have the example of Ibn Umar a
00:13:34 -->
00:13:37
.s. The son of Umar ibn Khattab.
00:13:38 -->
00:13:40
Ibn Umar a.s. narrates a story.
00:13:41 -->
00:13:43
He says that we were in a gathering
00:13:43 -->
00:13:45
with the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.
00:13:45 -->
00:13:47
And the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.
00:13:47 -->
00:13:50
he said, Inform me of a tree which
00:13:50 -->
00:13:51
resembles the Muslim.
00:13:52 -->
00:13:55
It gives its fruits throughout the year and
00:13:55 -->
00:13:56
its leaves never fall.
00:13:57 -->
00:14:00
Ibn Umar a.s. he said, I thought
00:14:00 -->
00:14:01
of the date palm tree.
00:14:01 -->
00:14:04
But I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr
00:14:04 -->
00:14:06
and Umar a.s. were present at that
00:14:06 -->
00:14:07
gathering.
00:14:08 -->
00:14:09
And the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.
00:14:10 -->
00:14:12
when no one spoke, he said, Verily it
00:14:12 -->
00:14:13
is the date palm tree.
00:14:14 -->
00:14:17
Ibn Umar a.s. he said, After we
00:14:17 -->
00:14:18
left the gathering and I was with my
00:14:18 -->
00:14:21
father Umar a.s. He said, Oh my
00:14:21 -->
00:14:23
father, it came to my mind that it
00:14:23 -->
00:14:24
might be the date palm tree.
00:14:25 -->
00:14:28
Umar a.s. he said, What prevented you
00:14:28 -->
00:14:28
from saying it?
00:14:29 -->
00:14:30
If you had said it, it would have
00:14:30 -->
00:14:33
been more beloved to me than a fortune.
00:14:33 -->
00:14:35
Simply you saying this in the presence of
00:14:35 -->
00:14:37
the Prophet s.a.w. would have been
00:14:37 -->
00:14:39
more beloved to me than a fortune that
00:14:39 -->
00:14:40
I would have ever got.
00:14:41 -->
00:14:42
What does it show us brothers and sisters?
00:14:43 -->
00:14:47
It shows us the encouragement that was given
00:14:47 -->
00:14:49
by the senior companions to the younger companions
00:14:49 -->
00:14:50
to speak up.
00:14:51 -->
00:14:53
Instilling in them that confidence.
00:14:54 -->
00:14:56
Giving them that encouragement.
00:14:56 -->
00:14:59
Pushing them when it came to speaking in
00:14:59 -->
00:14:59
public.
00:14:59 -->
00:15:01
Speaking to the Messenger of Allah s.a
00:15:01 -->
00:15:05
.w. Being involved with these discussions.
00:15:05 -->
00:15:08
That wasn't just specific to the elderly and
00:15:08 -->
00:15:10
to the senior companions of the Messenger of
00:15:10 -->
00:15:13
Allah s.a.w. We look at the
00:15:13 -->
00:15:19
example of a companion who was given leadership
00:15:19 -->
00:15:22
of an army that was going to be
00:15:22 -->
00:15:25
sent to fight the Roman Empire at the
00:15:25 -->
00:15:27
age of 18 years old.
00:15:27 -->
00:15:28
By the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.
00:15:30 -->
00:15:31
18 years old.
00:15:31 -->
00:15:34
And this companion, it was Usama ibn Uzaid
00:15:34 -->
00:15:37
r.a. 18 years old.
00:15:37 -->
00:15:40
And he's been made the general of the
00:15:40 -->
00:15:42
army to go and fight not just any
00:15:42 -->
00:15:45
small tribe in Arabia, but the Roman Empire.
00:15:46 -->
00:15:49
And no doubt there were people in his
00:15:49 -->
00:15:51
army who were of course much more senior
00:15:51 -->
00:15:52
than him.
00:15:52 -->
00:15:55
The likes of Abu Bakr r.a. The
00:15:55 -->
00:15:55
likes of others.
00:15:57 -->
00:15:59
Yet he was chosen by the Prophet s
00:15:59 -->
00:16:02
.a.w. Just imagine brothers and sisters that
00:16:02 -->
00:16:04
your boss or your manager is 18 years
00:16:04 -->
00:16:04
old.
00:16:06 -->
00:16:08
Think about how a person would feel and
00:16:08 -->
00:16:09
how a person would think.
00:16:10 -->
00:16:12
But what did this do to Usama ibn
00:16:12 -->
00:16:13
Uzaid?
00:16:13 -->
00:16:15
He became one of the greatest generals from
00:16:15 -->
00:16:16
amongst the companions.
00:16:18 -->
00:16:21
Think about the confidence it must have instilled
00:16:21 -->
00:16:23
in Usama ibn Uzaid.
00:16:23 -->
00:16:25
The fact that the Messenger of Allah s
00:16:25 -->
00:16:28
.a.w. had so much confidence in him
00:16:28 -->
00:16:30
at the age of 18 that he's appointing
00:16:30 -->
00:16:32
him as the general of the army.
00:16:33 -->
00:16:35
Just think about the psychological benefit.
00:16:36 -->
00:16:38
And what it does to a person instilling
00:16:38 -->
00:16:42
that kind of confidence and responsibility also in
00:16:42 -->
00:16:44
a companion at that tender age.
00:16:45 -->
00:16:48
We look at one of the young companions
00:16:48 -->
00:16:50
of the city of Medina.
00:16:51 -->
00:16:55
This companion, he was someone even though the
00:16:55 -->
00:16:57
Messenger of Allah s.a.w. hadn't yet
00:16:57 -->
00:17:00
made the hijrah, he had memorized many many
00:17:00 -->
00:17:01
portions of the Quran.
00:17:03 -->
00:17:05
Even though the Prophet s.a.w. and
00:17:05 -->
00:17:07
the senior companions, the muhajirun, aren't yet in
00:17:07 -->
00:17:07
Medina.
00:17:08 -->
00:17:10
And when the Prophet s.a.w. came
00:17:10 -->
00:17:13
to Medina and made the hijrah, the Ansar,
00:17:14 -->
00:17:16
they brought this child to the Prophet s
00:17:16 -->
00:17:18
.a.w. so that he could recite in
00:17:18 -->
00:17:19
his presence.
00:17:19 -->
00:17:21
This was how proud they were of this
00:17:21 -->
00:17:21
companion.
00:17:22 -->
00:17:24
And this companion was Zaid ibn Uthabit r
00:17:24 -->
00:17:29
.a. A boy, reciting Quran in the presence
00:17:29 -->
00:17:31
of the Messenger of Allah s.a.w.
00:17:31 -->
00:17:33
Look at this child, our child.
00:17:34 -->
00:17:36
He's somebody who's memorized so much Quran.
00:17:36 -->
00:17:38
And the Prophet s.a.w. when he
00:17:38 -->
00:17:40
heard him recite, he was pleased, he was
00:17:40 -->
00:17:40
happy.
00:17:41 -->
00:17:41
It made him happy.
00:17:42 -->
00:17:45
Think about the effects that this had on
00:17:45 -->
00:17:46
Zaid ibn Uthabit.
00:17:46 -->
00:17:48
And we know the effects that it had
00:17:48 -->
00:17:51
on Zaid ibn Uthabit r.a. Because a
00:17:51 -->
00:17:53
number of years later, when Abu Bakr r
00:17:53 -->
00:17:56
.a. was looking for someone to compile the
00:17:56 -->
00:17:59
Quran, he chose Zaid ibn Uthabit r.a.
00:18:00 -->
00:18:01
Who is a young man at this point
00:18:01 -->
00:18:02
in time.
00:18:02 -->
00:18:05
And Abu Bakr r.a. when he speaks
00:18:05 -->
00:18:06
to Zaid, what does he say?
00:18:06 -->
00:18:12
He says, Zaid, you are somebody who is
00:18:12 -->
00:18:14
a young man and you're an intelligent man.
00:18:15 -->
00:18:18
And we don't know of any moment when
00:18:18 -->
00:18:20
you were accused of lying.
00:18:20 -->
00:18:21
Or that you used to lie.
00:18:22 -->
00:18:23
Or that you used to forget.
00:18:24 -->
00:18:25
And you used to be the one who
00:18:25 -->
00:18:27
used to write down the ayat for the
00:18:27 -->
00:18:30
Messenger of Allah s.a.w. When revelation
00:18:30 -->
00:18:30
would come.
00:18:32 -->
00:18:34
But Abu Bakr r.a. chose him because
00:18:34 -->
00:18:35
he was young.
00:18:35 -->
00:18:37
Because he was energetic.
00:18:37 -->
00:18:39
Because he was somebody who had intelligence.
00:18:40 -->
00:18:42
But this wasn't just something that happened when
00:18:42 -->
00:18:42
he became older.
00:18:42 -->
00:18:45
It wasn't something that caused him to change
00:18:45 -->
00:18:47
after he became a young man.
00:18:47 -->
00:18:50
It was something which was instilled in him
00:18:50 -->
00:18:51
while he was a child.
00:18:51 -->
00:18:54
It was the efforts of his family, of
00:18:54 -->
00:18:57
the community, of the Muslim Ummah, to make
00:18:57 -->
00:19:00
sure that when they eventually do pass away,
00:19:00 -->
00:19:02
these young companions will step up.
00:19:02 -->
00:19:04
And they'll represent the Ummah.
00:19:04 -->
00:19:05
And they'll benefit the Ummah.
00:19:05 -->
00:19:08
All of these examples, brothers and sisters, show
00:19:08 -->
00:19:10
us the importance of our youth and making
00:19:10 -->
00:19:12
sure that we raise them in the correct
00:19:12 -->
00:19:12
manner.
00:19:12 -->
00:19:13
I say this, and I ask Allah to
00:19:13 -->
00:19:14
forgive me and you.
00:19:14 -->
00:19:15
Verily, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
00:19:24 -->
00:19:25
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
00:19:25 -->
00:19:25
the Most Merciful.
00:19:25 -->
00:19:26
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
00:19:26 -->
00:19:26
the worlds.
00:19:26 -->
00:19:28
And peace and blessings be upon the family
00:19:28 -->
00:19:29
of the Prophets and the Messengers, our Prophet
00:19:29 -->
00:19:30
Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
00:19:31 -->
00:19:33
Brothers and sisters, we were speaking about the
00:19:33 -->
00:19:35
importance of our youth.
00:19:35 -->
00:19:38
And making sure that we don't just expect
00:19:38 -->
00:19:42
our schools, other people, to give them that
00:19:42 -->
00:19:42
Tarbiyah.
00:19:43 -->
00:19:46
The parents are the primary teachers and role
00:19:46 -->
00:19:47
models of the children.
00:19:47 -->
00:19:50
And so it's important for us to have
00:19:50 -->
00:19:53
a level of righteousness, such that when they
00:19:53 -->
00:19:56
see us, it has a positive effect and
00:19:56 -->
00:19:57
not a negative effect.
00:19:57 -->
00:19:59
And it benefits us in this life and
00:19:59 -->
00:20:00
also in the Akhirah.
00:20:01 -->
00:20:04
And the Messenger of Allah, as we've seen,
00:20:04 -->
00:20:08
would give the correct nurturing, the correct type
00:20:08 -->
00:20:10
of Tarbiyah to the young companions of the
00:20:10 -->
00:20:13
Messenger of Allah, to such an extent that
00:20:13 -->
00:20:16
when the senior and older companions passed away,
00:20:16 -->
00:20:19
these young companions, like Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas,
00:20:19 -->
00:20:22
Zayd ibn Uthabit, Osama ibn Zayd, these people,
00:20:22 -->
00:20:25
they continued to lead the Ummah in their
00:20:25 -->
00:20:28
own ways, whether it was through knowledge or
00:20:28 -->
00:20:29
through other means.
00:20:29 -->
00:20:31
Anas ibn Malik, r.a, when he was
00:20:31 -->
00:20:36
a boy, he was offered to the Prophet
00:20:36 -->
00:20:38
as a servant.
00:20:39 -->
00:20:41
Anas ibn Malik, years later, after the death
00:20:41 -->
00:20:44
of the Prophet, he says that I served
00:20:44 -->
00:20:47
the Prophet for ten years.
00:20:48 -->
00:20:48
Ten years.
00:20:49 -->
00:20:52
Not once did he say, oof, to me
00:20:52 -->
00:20:56
any word of annoyance or disagreement about what
00:20:56 -->
00:20:58
he did in service to the Prophet.
00:20:59 -->
00:21:01
Nor did he ever say, why did you
00:21:01 -->
00:21:02
do this?
00:21:02 -->
00:21:04
Or why didn't you do this?
00:21:04 -->
00:21:08
Because this wasn't the way in which the
00:21:08 -->
00:21:11
Prophet would treat the younger companions.
00:21:11 -->
00:21:13
It was the wisdom of the Prophet s
00:21:13 -->
00:21:17
.a.w. that he understood the effects that
00:21:17 -->
00:21:21
severe criticism and criticizing children all the time
00:21:21 -->
00:21:23
will have on those children when they're older.
00:21:24 -->
00:21:26
As we can see with Anas ibn Malik.
00:21:26 -->
00:21:30
He still remembers, years later, how he was
00:21:30 -->
00:21:32
treated by the Prophet s.a.w. So
00:21:32 -->
00:21:37
brothers and sisters, all these examples should motivate
00:21:37 -->
00:21:40
us to, number one, be righteous people ourselves.
00:21:41 -->
00:21:42
And improve on our deen.
00:21:42 -->
00:21:43
We all have our shortcomings.
00:21:44 -->
00:21:47
But most importantly, we need to invest in
00:21:47 -->
00:21:48
the future.
00:21:48 -->
00:21:52
Through our children, through those that we're responsible
00:21:52 -->
00:21:52
for.
00:21:52 -->
00:21:55
So that when we pass on, the next
00:21:55 -->
00:21:58
generations that come won't be weaker, but rather
00:21:58 -->
00:21:59
they'll be stronger Muslims.
00:22:00 -->
00:22:02
We ask Allah s.w.t. that He
00:22:02 -->
00:22:04
makes our children, those that we're responsible for,
00:22:04 -->
00:22:05
righteous children.
00:22:06 -->
00:22:07
And that they grow up to serve and
00:22:07 -->
00:22:09
benefit the Ummah after we pass away.
00:22:56 -->
00:22:57
Allah is the Greatest.
00:22:57 -->
00:22:58
Allah is the Greatest.
00:22:59 -->
00:23:00
I bear witness that there is no god
00:23:00 -->
00:23:01
but Allah.
00:23:02 -->
00:23:04
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
00:23:04 -->
00:23:04
of Allah.
00:23:05 -->
00:23:06
Long live prayer.
00:23:06 -->
00:23:08
Long live success.
00:23:09 -->
00:23:10
Prayer has been established.
00:23:10 -->
00:23:11
Prayer has been established.
00:23:12 -->
00:23:13
Allah is the Greatest.
00:23:13 -->
00:23:15
Allah is the Greatest.
00:23:15 -->
00:23:17
There is no god but Allah.
00:23:28 -->
00:23:29
Straighten your rose.
00:23:30 -->
00:23:32
Straightening the rose is from the perfection of
00:23:32 -->
00:23:32
the prayer.
00:23:32 -->
00:23:33
So make sure your rose is straight.
00:23:41 -->
00:23:42
Allah is the Greatest.
00:23:50 -->
00:23:52
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
00:23:52 -->
00:23:53
the worlds.
00:23:54 -->
00:23:57
The Most Merciful, Most Merciful.
00:23:57 -->
00:23:59
Master of the Day of Judgment.
00:24:00 -->
00:24:03
It is You we worship and You we
00:24:03 -->
00:24:04
ask for help.
00:24:05 -->
00:24:08
Guide us to the straight path.
00:24:09 -->
00:24:12
The path of those You have blessed.
00:24:13 -->
00:24:15
Not of those who have incurred Your wrath,
00:24:17 -->
00:24:19
nor of those who have gone astray.
00:24:25 -->
00:24:26
Ameen.
00:24:30 -->
00:24:33
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most
00:24:33 -->
00:24:34
High.
00:24:35 -->
00:24:38
Who created and proportioned.
00:24:39 -->
00:24:42
Who measured and guided.
00:24:42 -->
00:24:47
And Who brought forth the seed.
00:24:48 -->
00:24:53
And made it abundant and fruitful.
00:24:53 -->
00:24:57
We will teach you, so do not forget.
00:24:57 -->
00:25:02
Except what Allah wills.
00:25:03 -->
00:25:06
Indeed, He knows what is open and what
00:25:06 -->
00:25:07
is hidden.
00:25:08 -->
00:25:10
And We will ease you to ease.
00:25:10 -->
00:25:15
So remind, if it benefits the remembrance.
00:25:16 -->
00:25:19
He who fears will remember.
00:25:20 -->
00:25:23
And the worst will avoid it.
00:25:23 -->
00:25:27
Who will burn in the Great Fire.
00:25:28 -->
00:25:32
Then he will neither die therein nor live.
00:25:33 -->
00:25:36
He who purifies himself has succeeded.
00:25:36 -->
00:25:39
And he will remember the name of his
00:25:39 -->
00:25:40
Lord and pray.
00:25:41 -->
00:25:44
Nay, you will make the life of this
00:25:44 -->
00:25:45
world easy.
00:25:45 -->
00:25:50
And the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
00:25:50 -->
00:25:55
Indeed, this is in the first scriptures.
00:25:56 -->
00:26:00
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
00:27:02 -->
00:27:07
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
00:27:07 -->
00:27:08
the worlds.
00:27:10 -->
00:27:12
The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
00:27:13 -->
00:27:16
Master of the Day of Judgment.
00:27:17 -->
00:27:20
It is You we worship and You we
00:27:20 -->
00:27:21
ask for help.
00:27:22 -->
00:27:25
Guide us to the straight path.
00:27:26 -->
00:27:29
The path of those You have blessed.
00:27:29 -->
00:27:30
The path of those You have blessed.
00:27:30 -->
00:27:32
Not of those who have incurred Your wrath.
00:27:33 -->
00:27:37
Nor of those who have gone astray.
00:27:46 -->
00:27:49
Has there come to you the story of
00:27:49 -->
00:27:50
Al-Ghashiyah?
00:27:50 -->
00:27:54
Faces that Day will be humbled.
00:27:55 -->
00:27:56
A working woman.
00:27:57 -->
00:28:00
She will burn in a blazing fire.
00:28:00 -->
00:28:02
She will be given to drink from a
00:28:02 -->
00:28:04
boiling spring.
00:28:04 -->
00:28:09
They will have no food except from wheat.
00:28:10 -->
00:28:13
They will not gain weight, nor will hunger
00:28:13 -->
00:28:14
avail them.
00:28:15 -->
00:28:19
Faces that Day will be blessed.
00:28:20 -->
00:28:22
For their striving, they will be pleased.
00:28:23 -->
00:28:26
In a lofty garden.
00:28:26 -->
00:28:29
There they will not hear any idle talk.
00:28:29 -->
00:28:33
In it will be a flowing spring.
00:28:33 -->
00:28:36
In it will be raised couches.
00:28:37 -->
00:28:40
And cups laid down.
00:28:41 -->
00:28:43
And cushions arranged in rows.
00:28:44 -->
00:28:47
And carpets spread out.
00:28:47 -->
00:28:52
Will they not look at the camels, how
00:28:52 -->
00:28:53
they are created?
00:28:53 -->
00:28:58
And at the sky, how it is raised.
00:28:58 -->
00:29:01
And at the mountains, how they are laid.
00:29:01 -->
00:29:04
And at the earth, how it is spread
00:29:04 -->
00:29:05
out.
00:29:05 -->
00:29:06
So remind!
00:29:07 -->
00:29:11
You are only a reminder.
00:29:11 -->
00:29:15
You have no control over them.
00:29:15 -->
00:29:18
Except those who turn away and disbelieve.
00:29:19 -->
00:29:23
So Allah will punish them with the greatest
00:29:23 -->
00:29:23
punishment.
00:29:23 -->
00:29:26
Indeed, it is to Us.
00:29:29 -->
00:29:34
Then upon Us is their reckoning.
00:30:34 -->
00:30:36
Allah is the Greatest.
00:31:28 -->
00:31:29
Peace be upon you.
