Last weekend when Sheikh Omar Suleyman came and
was talking to the boys. Right? And then
this young boy asked him a question.
Right? No. Actually, I asked Sheikh Omar. I
said, Sheikh Omar, all of these young boys
really wanna be like you. Because, subhanallah, the
day before I asked them a question, all
of them said Sheikh Omar Suleyma. And I
said, okay. Tomorrow you'll have this big surprise.
So I said, all of them wants to
be like you. And in Insha Allah, you
Rabbi Amin. And some of them are your
children. In 10 15 years,
what do you tell them? So in 10
15 years, they become another Umar Surayma. He
said three things.

to your parents. There will be no Barakah
in your life,
and especially your mother.

Exactly like that.
And he said to him, and imagine Sheikh
Omar and this boy is like this. And
he said, is it 3 hours too much
from a day?
I said, I think so.
Time

I I love the third one, actually.
He said, believe in yourself, obey Allah, and
don't worry about what people say about you.
He kept telling them, you're talking about 12,

do what pleases him, and don't worry about
what people say about you.
