AI: Summary ©
And welcome to the final lesson of the
series on the names of Allah and His
attributes. It has been an absolute pleasure to
be
in your presence and in your service. But
I want to know where is Umar, first
of all? Where is Umar?
Where is Umar? Duqman?
Duqman
Khabas. If Amar, if you're hearing this on
the live stream, you better come to the
masjid. You have about 10 minutes to get
here. Insha'Allah.
Young says, come, sit in the front. Come.
Come, come both of you. You also come.
Come both of you. Manchester City, stay behind.
I'm joking. You can come.
We we allow Manchester City. Come come come.
All the kids, come come in the front.
Young man there, come.
Both of you in the back, come. All
of you come in the front over here,
please.
So inshallah, the first the first half of
tonight's finale will be,
not on the name of Allah but on
how do we live with the names of
Allah as a conclusion to the series.
And after this, around half an hour, we
will do a quiz
and I thought very hard
what is the prize that all humanity have
agreed upon, this ijma'ah,
consensus from all humanity that it is beloved
to all. I realized
that
it was chocolate. So inshallah, after the quiz
inshallah, there will be some.
Masjid Al Furqan has nothing to do with
my dietary choices. That's all very personal inshallah.
So please don't blame the masjid for my
choices.
Alhamdulillah, in the last
30 lessons we have learnt and studied many
of the names of Allah.
Approximating
over 90 names.
But how do we live with these names?
I hope that in the series that we
covered
the approach that I tried to take
that is different yes, I'm a come. Your
place is waiting for you.
The approach that I tried to take,
perhaps different to the approach
of of the, you know, some people we
have come across or some we have studied
and we've heard from in our times,
is that the names of Allah
are not empty definitions.
The attributes of Allah
are not empty categorizations and theoretical
philosophy.
These names and attributes of Allah
is what revives the heart
and the body
and allows us to worship Allah to his
fullest extent.
There are 5 ways in which the prophets
lived with the names of Allah.
Five ways. And we're gonna try and cover
these 5 ways.
The first thing is that the prophets,
when they would look
at the same things we look at on
a daily basis,
The same daily actions, the daily events, the
daily situations.
They would look
in a very different lens and they would
see everything as an action of Allah. This
is the first thing.
To see everything as an action of Allah.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is fighting
in the battle of Badr.
This battle was unprepared for.
He thought he was going to meet a
small group of people and it ended up
being a full blown war.
Allah, please grant them victory.
They lack in numbers. They lack in resources.
They lack in everything. There's no chance for
them to win if you take it by
pure calculation.
But
they have the help of Allah.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says it
in a way in the Quran that really
we have to contemplate this wording of Allah.
Rama.
Oh Muhammad salaam.
When you were doing rammy,
you were shooting your arrows.
You were not the one shooting arrows, Allah
was the one shooting the arrows.
Allah is saying, I know to you it
looks like the arrows coming out of your
hand,
but it is me who's making it go
to its target.
It is me who's making every second of
this process. It is me who created the
arrow and created your hand and created everything
in between. It is me doing this not
you.
Look beyond the day to day things you
see.
You get your payslip from your manager.
Every end of the month it comes.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is saying,
don't look at this. Don't look at the
asbaab. Don't look at this from your manager.
Just imagine it dropped straight from Allah.
See everything as a action of Allah. You
lose your job, you struggle with your marriage,
you come across difficult situation, you can't pass
your university exams. See everything as a direct
dealing with Allah.
Allah is taking from you. Allah is giving
you. Allah is testing you. Allah is pushing
you. Allah is pulling you. Allah is opening
for you, Allah is closing for you. See
it as a direct dealing with Allah. Don't
see it like anybody else sees these day
to day situations.
Allah says in the Quran,
Allah
says in the Quran, You know in this
country one of the things people whine about
the most on a day to day basis
is?
The way the weather, specifically the rain.
People complain so much about the rain.
If you have absorbed the names of Allah,
when you look at the rain, you don't
see water from the sky. You see this
is the mercy of Allah
coming to touch
us. Everything suddenly
is a manifestation
of the names of Allah.
That's why when it would rain, the prophet
would try and expose his skin to the
rain. Why?
Because he wanted the mercy of Allah to
touch
him.
See, he sees the rain differently to how
you see the rain.
And he sees the boss differently to how
you see the boss. And he saw the
arrow differently to how you look at the
arrow.
And he saw his army differently to how
you look at the army. And you everything
in life we see it, the Prophet saw
them differently because they saw,
as the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says
in the hadith which is reported from him,
Be careful of the firsas,
the sight, the insight of a believer.
Because he is watching, he is looking at
things not from the way you look at
things, he's looking at things with the light
of Allah.
He's seeing things in a different light.
Allah says in the Quran, look at the
rain, look at the effects of Allah's mercy.
How he revives the dead back to life.
From the moment we wake up, we get
in our car to commute, to the moment
we sleep, to the moment we are feeding
our children. Every moment in the day is
a reason to reflect on the names of
Allah. But we have to see it as
the prophet. So this is the first thing
we have to do, to live with the
names of Allah.
We have to see everything in this world
as an action of Allah.
Direct action relating to us.
The second,
as we know the names of Allah and
if we get to know Allah, our Creator
and our Lord, the Almighty,
the Closest,
the Forgiver, the Most Merciful, the Opener,
the compeller,
the one who was first and the one
who is last.
As we know Him and we get closer
to Him,
the second action we should have on a
daily basis
is the desire to please Allah.
Allah
says in the Quran,
Do not feel saddened
by what people want and what they desire
and what they're looking for.
If you are in pain, then they are
in pain just as you are in pain,
but you desire Allah
and they don't desire Allah.
You desire what you want from this world,
you want it from Allah.
And they are seeking the same thing from
somebody else.
We seek to please people.
We seek to make people happy.
We are people pleasers.
But the rare amongst us, the one who
has absorbed the names of Allah
and it has ignited his heart
is the one on a daily basis is
thinking,
I know him.
I want him to be pleased with me.
If the whole world abandoned me, I just
want Allah to be pleased with me.
Because people can never be pleased.
As they say, you can never please everybody.
And so there's a fire in your heart
every day.
How can I earn the pleasure of Allah?
And the greatest thing we can desire from
this earth is the pleasure of Allah the
Almighty.
This is the second thing.
In every moment in our lives we are
thinking,
how can I convert this into something which
will please Allah?
My eating of food,
my sleeping at night, my smiling at my
neighbor,
my going to work, the day to day
things, my drinking of water.
It is narrated and I've never researched your
authenticity so I cannot tell you it's authentic.
It is narrated that Alib Nabi Talib radiAllahu
anhu was asked,
do you like to drink cold water or
do you like to drink
normal temperature water, room temperature water?
He said,
No, I like to drink cold water.
And he was asked, why? Why do you
like cold water? He said, because when I
drink cold water, Alhamdulillah
comes from the bottom of my heart.
He's thinking, how can I express the shukr,
the gratitude to Allah when I drink water?
If we know Allah
and you want his pleasure,
then our intentions
for every moment in our life will change.
The intention to sleep
for a believer, for someone who's looking for
the pleasure of Allah, is I am sleeping
to gain this energy so I can wake
up and worship him.
I'm eating to gain this nutrition so I
can worship him with strength.
I'm spending on my family because this will
earn the pleasure of Allah. I'm sweating, I'm
working hard because this will earn the pleasure
of Allah. From morning to night becomes
the whole thing becomes a reason to seek
the pleasure of Allah.
Allah.
Until you get to a point where you
have reached the peak and Allah describes, this
is the top. This is what we should
aim for.
There are people who give up everything to
please Allah.
And Allah
is gentle with his servants.
So number 1, to see everything as an
action of Allah.
Number 2, to desire only the pleasure of
Allah.
Number 3,
to think well of Allah. To have the
best
thoughts and the best expectations of Allah.
I want you to just imagine put yourself
in the shoes of Yaqub alayhis salam, Abu
Yusuf.
The Abu Yusuf before me, much greater Abu
Yusuf than I could ever be.
This Abu Yusuf Alaihi Salam,
he's in a situation.
He's lost his son.
Years have passed. Decades have passed. And now
he's lost his second son, Binyamin.
At this moment in time, really, he should
be thinking,
finish. The game is over.
You know, even in every country, there's a
rule. If somebody is missing for a certain
number of days, they announce them dead.
Somebody is absent for 1 year, 6 months,
2 years. Khalas. The person is dead, they
announce them dead. They pray their funeral. In
many Muslim countries, they will pray their funeral
in absentia.
They will assume the person has died because
it's impossible for such a person to be
missing for so long.
Yaqub alaihissalam after everything he he goes through
and everything he experiences.
And his sons come back and they say,
oh, we lost your second son as well.
At this point, Yaqub, alayhis salam, should be
he's blind. Remember, he's blind.
Decades without his son. Now he's lost his
second son. This is the point in which
the knowledge of Allah is tested.
If you want to know whether you benefited
from the series,
you have to watch how you behave in
these hard moments, difficult moments in your life.
When you experience loss, when you experience sadness,
when you experience anger, when you experience pain,
just watch yourself. That reaction, that's who you
really are.
As the prophet says, your true character shows
in that initial reaction, that initial response.
Yaqub alayhi salam's sons return.
They tell him, look, your second son, Ben
Yameen, is gone.
Yaqub alayhi salam is just consumed with sadness.
And it is in this moment he says,
I'll only complain
about my sorrow, my sadness of what has
passed
and my anxiety for what is to come,
I will only complain to Allah. But people
quote this ayah, this part of the ayah,
but they don't realize
the remaining part of the ayah is far
more important.
You may ask,
what is it that allowed Yaqub alayhi salam
to show these patients?
What is it that gave him this fuel,
this strength, is the last part of this
ayah.
I know Allah.
That's what he's saying.
And you don't know him well enough.
My creator
is the one when he promises me, he
fulfills his promise.
My creator is the one when he closes
one door, he opens another.
My creator is the one when he takes
one son, he will give him back.
He showed me the dream, he promised me
and I trust him.
Ibn Jadir Rabri
in his tafsir,
He
says,
whenever Yaqub alaihis salam would get hit with
a difficulty,
Whenever he would be hit with a difficulty,
he would react by saying no.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is going to give
me the best.
I think positive of Allah.
I think I'm optimistic of Allah.
I think Allah is going to return what
he took, open what he closed, give what
he seized. He is my creator. I know
him better than you.
And this is what allows him to always
be in good thoughts of Allah. Having a
good expectation of Allah. Today so many of
us are pessimistic.
The Ummah is destroyed.
Oh, we are weak. Oh, the economy is
finished. Oh, I'm finished. This kind of destructive,
self destructive thinking. This was not the thinking
of the prophets because they knew Allah.
They knew Allah.
So they knew that he would always bring
the best result.
This sentence.
I know Allah
and you don't know him. This sentence was
repeated by another prophet in the Quran. Who
can tell me who he was?
Not Yusuf alaihis salaam.
Somewhere else in the Quran.
Not Adam alaihi salaam.
Not Muhammad Sahasal.
Okay. You can give me the other eye
if you want.
Not Ayub. Wa a'lamu min Allahhimala taalamun. This
very sentence was repeated by another prophet in
the Quran.
To be honest, this is a very hard
question. There's no chocolates for this question. Yes?
No. No, but close. Yes. Nuh alayhi salaam.
Nuh alayhi salaam in the Quran threatens his
people and he says,
don't mess with Allah.
I know Allah and you don't know Him,
don't mess with Him. He's gonna send you
some punishments.
Very often the prophets would say this to
their people. When they would be threatened, when
they would be tested, when they would be
in difficulty, I know Allah.
I know what to expect from
him. Even if you have bad expectations, don't
worry. I know Allah.
We should always have good expectations of Allah.
Think positively of Allah.
So number 1,
to see everything in this world as action
of Allah
and to look past
all the means of this world.
Number 2, to desire
only the pleasure of Allah.
Number 3,
to think good of Allah.
Number 4,
to trust Allah and to trust Allah. The
knowledge of Allah, I said,
your knowledge of Allah, whether you know Allah
or you don't know him, it's going to
show in specific moments of your life.
When you are in pain, when you are
in difficulty, when you are in misery, when
you are divorced, when you're losing your child,
you are experience loss, difficulty, pain, fear. Now,
your knowledge of Allah is going to be
tested now.
Who can tell me about moments in the
life of each prophet? You know, we don't
know the whole life of every prophet.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us the highlights.
Only the highlights.
And the highlight of each prophet's life in
the Quran
is a moment where he shows how deeply
he knows Allah.
You tell me the name of the prophet,
I will tell you the moment.
Yes?
Nuh alayhi salaam.
When his son is about to drown.
What does he do? When he reaches shore,
he calls out to Allah.
Oh Allah, my son is from mine. He's
begging Allah. He knows of Allah's mercy.
Yes.
What is the moment in Ibrahim alaihis salam's
life? The pivotal moment.
When he's thrown into the fire. What does
he say the moment he's thrown?
We don't know what did Ibrahim say in
the fire.
I know Allah. He's enough for me. In
fact, according to some narrations, Jibril alayhi salam
is sent down.
And he says to Ibrahim alayhi salam, can
I help you? You're burning in the fire.
Can I help you? He says,
not from you. Yes from Allah. Direct help
from Allah. I don't need you.
When
when Ayub is sick, when his sickness reaches
the pinnacle where he feels he's going to
die from sickness,
what does he say?
Oh Allah,
evil has touched me,
but you are the most merciful. The names
of Allah always feature in these difficult moments
in life of the prophets. Give me more
more prophets.
Yes.
Where what is the pivotal moment in the
life of Musa 'alayhi wa sallam? The highlight
moment.
If you were to pick one moment.
When he's going to speak to Firaun?
This is one, when he's going to speak
to Firaun. There's one more. There's two highlights.
When he stands in front of the scene.
What does he say in front of Firaun?
What's the first question Firaun asks Musa?
The first question Firaun asks Musa.
That's not a question.
After. It comes after.
The first question Firaoun asks Musa is, who's
Allah?
That's the first speech Musa alayhi wa sallam
gives to Firaun.
Who is Allah?
The second pivotal moment in his life when
he stood in front of the sea.
Who can give me the aya?
Musa.
His people say we are.
See this is the test.
This is the test. Do they know Allah?
They don't know Allah
enough.
They don't know Him deeply enough. What's Musa's
reaction?
Rabbi Sayyadeen.
Two names of Allah, Al Hadi, Arrab, feature
in this moment of his life.
Yusuf alaihis salam.
He has many moments in his life.
Whether he's in the well, or he's in
the prison or when the dream comes true,
you watch the names of Allah are there.
In the pivotal moments of life, our knowledge
of Allah is tested.
And more than anything else, there's one
special action we have to show and it's
a spiritual deed. It's not an action of
the limbs. It's a muscle in the heart.
But if you never flexed it before, don't
think you can lift 120 kilograms from day
1. You have to start by lifting something
small.
It is the muscle
of
to rely and to trust upon Allah.
This moment where Musa stood in front of
the sea and everyone gives up and he
says,
Allah is with me. He's going to show
me the way. This is trust in Allah.
I have nothing, but Allah is going to
show me the way.
This moment Ibrahim
is in the fire. He wants to defy
the laws of physics.
You know, it's a fire. Physics finish. You're
supposed to burn. He says, no, I trust
Zakariya alaihis salam. What's the pivotal moment in
his life?
The only moment really we know about Zakariya
in the Quran.
When Zakariya alaihis salam reaches an old age
and he just wants a child,
he's asking Allah for a child.
What does he say?
Always the knowledge of Allah is there in
these words, in these sentences.
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Who can tell me what was the worst
day in the life of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam?
Not Amur Husin. When
he was in Thayf. When he was in
Thayf.
According to Hadith,
Hadith of Aisha radhiallahu anha, when she asks
the Prophet, what was the most difficult day
you faced?
He says the worst day of my life
was the day of Thayf.
The day when I went,
it wasn't the year of sadness.
I lost my uncle. I lost my wife.
I had nobody. I had nothing.
I went to my distant relatives in Taif
hoping maybe they will help me, and they
stoned me until blood reached my sandals.
So I sat there
bleeding.
The prophet
raises his hands.
Hadith, authenticity is disputed.
But Quran tells us,
so I'll mention it.
It's a long dua he makes to Allah.
Oh Allah,
I complain to you my weakness,
my struggle. I have nobody to support me.
Oh Allah, who will I turn to?
Am I going to turn and rely on
this tribe who are going to then pulverize
me?
Who will I turn to other than you?
This is the moment in his life.
If he knows Allah, the right words will
escape his mouth. If he doesn't know Allah,
he will give up. But his knowledge of
Allah showed in this moment.
Adam alayhi salaam.
The greatest test of his life is when
he was thrown from Jannah to this earth.
And what is the first thing he says
as he lands?
What are the words that escape his lips?
What's the pivotal moment in the life of
you, Nous salAllahu alayhi salam?
In the belly of the whale, what's the
first thing he what does he say in
the belly of the whale?
The names of Allah,
the beseeching of Allah.
You see, this is the pattern.
And in Suratul Anbiya, the ayahs are recited
at the beginning. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala identifies
this pattern. He talks about Zakaria and Nur
and Dawud and Suleyman and Ibrahim, one after
the other and then he concludes.
The fact that they know Allah means they
used to raise to please Allah through good
deeds.
They used to call us in fear
and in hope.
And they were always trembling in the awe
of Allah, Al Khushur.
To trust Allah.
This is the greatest of in the
most difficult moments of your life.
This is what is going to be tested.
Do you trust Allah? That's what's gonna get
you through the other side.
If you don't know Allah, how can you
trust him?
How can you rely on someone you don't
know?
Today, one brother from this audience brought me
to the Masjid today. He picked me up.
I called him half an hour before the
class. Brother, can you pick me up in
half an hour?
For me to do that,
imagine if he's an unreliable person,
I would have reached here tomorrow.
For me to call him half an hour
before the class means what? I think he
is
reliable, which means I have to know him.
Right? I have to trust him.
We make these decisions on a day to
day basis. Every day, we make these decisions.
We choose to trust and we choose to
distrust people and things and objects and processes.
But the greatest mistake we make in our
lives is the choice not to trust Allah
and instead to put our trust in human
beings.
This is where we get the most disappointment
in our life.
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, this is
why he says to Abdullah ibn Abbas radiAllahu
anhu.
If you're going to ask, ask Allah. Trust
Him. Nobody else will give you the outcome
that you want.
So
the 4 things, the 4 actions to live
the names of Allah. Number 1, to see
everything as action of Allah.
Number 2, to desire only the pleasure of
Allah.
Number 3, to think the best of Allah.
Number 4, to trust Allah over anything else.
And number 5,
the last but not least.
Every day of your life,
you should look forward
and you should hope and be excited
to meet Allah.
If you know Allah,
you should be excited to meet him.
In Sunan and Nasai,
in a hadith I spent a long time
researching,
and I can tell you to the best
of my knowledge, this hadith is authentic.
Hadith of Atayid Musaib An Abihi, That
one day, Ammar ibn Yasser,
he pray he leads the companions of the
Prophet in salah,
and he prays a really short salah.
So some people came to him, they said,
why was the salah so short? What's going
on?
He said, it's okay. Even if it was
a short salah, because I said something in
the salah, I made a dua that I
heard from the mouth of the prophet
So
somebody followed him after that.
What were the words that you said in
salah?
I want you to listen to these words
because these are the words of the messenger
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Oh Allah, you know the unseen.
And you have control over all creation.
Oh Allah, keep me alive if you know
being alive is good for me.
Make me pass
if dying is better for me. Oh,
Allah, I ask you to make me fear
you
in the seen and the unseen.
Oh, Allah. Let me speak the truth when
I am pleased and when I am angry.
And I ask you to make me balanced
when I am rich and when I am
poor.
And I ask you for pleasure which never
ends, I. E. Paradise.
And give me the coolness of my eyes
in a way that never ends.
And I ask you for your pleasure after
my judgment.
And I ask you for
And I ask you for the coolness
of life after death.
And I ask you for the sweetness
of being able to see you.
And I ask you to grant me the
desire and the yearning to meet you.
In a time when there's no harm,
and there's no test.
Allah
Oh Allah beautify us with the beauty of
iman.
And make us of those who are who
guide and who are guided.
The main sentence in this dua that I
want you to pay attention and what a
beautiful dua from a messenger who knows his
Lord.
Oh Allah, grant me the sweetness of seeing
You.
And grant me the yearning, the desire, the
hope to meet You.
There are so many people we desire to
meet in this worldly life. I
remember
as a child,
the first time my father told me, Misha'il
Al Fasi is coming
to this country to lead salah. Oh, Allah.
For 4 weeks, I wanted to pray behind
him.
4 weeks. When is he coming? 2 Next
1 Next month. When is he coming? Next
month. When is he coming?
I just wanna I just want to see
him.
I'm never gonna have a conversation with him.
I just want to pray. I just wanna
see him from far
because I love his recitation.
We all have people like that in our
lives. Sheikh Abdul Rashid, the Sufi came.
People just they just wanna see him.
They just want his autograph.
They just want him to just touch their
shoulder, then they're going to hang this robe
and never wear it again.
We look forward to the meeting with certain
people.
Celebrities,
special people, people we love. People we love
for the sake of Allah. We have a
shock.
We have a yearning, a desire to meet
them.
What a tragedy.
What a tragedy.
What a disaster. What a sadness.
We have a yearning to meet every human
being in this world.
But we don't have that yearning to meet
our creator.
And so the prophet
asks Allah,
make me want to meet you. Ashok.
Give me the shok, the desire to see
you. I want to see you. Give me
that desire. Don't let that flame die in
my heart.
There will come moments, those moments in your
life, those pivotal moments.
In the belly of the whale, the darkness
of the cave, the darkness of the prison,
the pain of illness, the loss of a
loved one, the difficulty
of people,
these
these moments will come in your life.
And what will get you through to the
other side is
is you want to meet Allah.
So you can walk through fire if you
need to. Because you know the other side,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is there and he's
going to grant you better than you ever
expected.
This is the 5th thing. And so the
5 actions that we have to live
day to day in order to live the
names of Allah. Number 1,
I said them 4 times now, so you
better remember them. Number 1,
to see
everything
as an action of Allah. Number 2, to
desire
the pleasure of Allah. Number 3, to expect
the best from Allah. Number 4, to trust
in Allah and to rely on Him. And
number 5, to desire,
to want to meet Allah.
Note that all these five things
are 5 actions
that you can't do with your body.
These are the actions of the heart.
These are the spiritual muscles. You have to
start working them out and building on them
until you can
be of those who live a life in
the company of Allah.
Mahalla.
This is what you have to reach. A
life in the company of Allah. In the
constant remembrance of Allah. In the constant trust
of Allah. In the constant beseeching and dua
and conversation with Allah. This is the life
worth living brothers and sisters.
This is the life we ask Allah to
take us from this dunya upon.
To live
with Allah. And there's a beautiful statement by
by Imam Abu Taymih Rahmatullahi Alaihi where he
says,
He says if somebody knows Allah,
really they know who Allah is. They will
find the effects of that in every moment
of their life.
And every moment of their life, they will
increase in their knowledge of Allah until they
find the effects of that in their food,
and their drink, and their sleep, and their
awake, and their waking hours, and every action
that they do.
That is the life with Allah.
And with that we come to the end
of this series. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
make all of us of those who benefited
from what they learnt, who acted upon what
they learnt, whose lives and hearts were revived
by what they learnt. May Allah make us
of those who live life
with Allah and may Allah make us of
those who meet Allah and who gather in
His presence
on a day in which there'll be no
shade except His shade. And
the second part of this is going to
be a quiz.
And as we said before,
there is a consensus
between all of humanity.
Most beloved of prizes is the chocolates. The
chocolates. And
because of the generosity
of Masjid Al Furqan,
it is not just chocolates
but we got family packed chocolates.
Yes. So nobody should say the Masjid is
is
is not generous.

Okay.

you very much, Yusuf. JazakAllah.

Kit Kat for You Sayyahu Islami.
Okay.
Before
before Adan al Isha,
I think the people online are wondering who
are the genius kids.
And the people of this masjid know
that there have been 2 young boys.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has gifted them, really
He has gifted them with incredible memory and
intelligence.
And we want these 2 young boys to
be nothing less than scholars. Say amen.
Amen. And
we have a very tiny gift from the
masjid
to help them in their journey.
The 2 young boys,
mister Amal Mukherjee, mister Luqman, please come here.
Come here, come here. I've already taken permission
from your father. Come here.
Come here. Come here. Come come
come come. Omar Dukman, come here. Come here.
Come come come come come.
Come,
come,
come.
This small envelope for mister Umar,
the man of memory.
And this small envelope for mister Amar, the
man of deep thinking.
May Allah
grant them the ability to use this for
his sake. Say amen.
And if you see these boys in the
masjid, look after them and give them gifts
and encourage them. And there are many other
boys, masha'Allah, who are up and coming and
we want to see all of them but
they are the examples.
And
we know
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, One
of the reasons for righteous children is to
have a righteous parents. And I have no
doubt,
not a shadow of a doubt that whatever
good is in these young boys after the
after the tawfiq of Allah it is their
parents. So children
and fathers and parents,
please invest in your children, give them time.
I know the parents
of Umar and Luqman, the father.
He gives a lot of time to his
kids and he prioritize them over everything else
and you see the results,
give the same to your kids. And young
kids, prioritize
knowing Allah and learning about Him and His
Messenger over everything else.
Next week is the Furqan conference. InshaAllah, I
think after the week, after that week, we
will commence with another series if the Masjid's
management
accepts.
