Alhamdulillah, all praises due to Allah, Rabbul Alameen.
The one who provide for all of us,
who give us our life.
The one who have blessed us with the
eye that can see, the ear that can
hear.
And all the senses that we have with
us until today.
All these are the blessing of Allah, taken
for granted by a lot of people.
We now reflecting and thinking how to be
grateful, to be thankful to Almighty Allah, Rabbul
Alameen.
The one who give us life through our
parents.
And the parents have gone through a lot
of pain and suffering to bring us up.
And we keep on forgetting that too.
We always take life for granted until one
day we realize that it is too late
for us to repent.
Brothers and sisters, every day when the Prophet
was talking to his Ummah, the Prophet never
fail to remind his Ummah, Stay
connected with Allah, have faith in Allah, do
not be ungrateful to Allah.
And Allah also said to all of us,
because He created us, He know our weaknesses,
He know the problem we are encountering in
life.
Because we keep on forgetting and we are
very careless.
So He said, Remind one
another, engage with one another, talk to one
another.
In Islam, when Allah said, What is Zikr?
If you look in other Ayah, Allah said,
Indeed we are the one who have revealed
the Zikr.
And we will protect the purity of this
Zikr.
What is Zikr?
The Quran.
In Surah Jumu'ah verse 2, Allah said,
Allah chose
the
last messenger of Allah, who is Ummiyin.
Very unique.
He never chose a professor, he never chose
a doctor, an engineer to lead the Ummah.
He chose an unlettered person, Allahu Akbar.
A very unique choice.
Normally if you want to choose somebody to
be someone important in the community, we will
always choose somebody who are very knowledgeable.
But Allah's choice is very unique.
He chose a different person.
He chose unlettered person.
Ummiyin, cannot read, cannot write.
You can write a letter to him, he
just can't read.
He will call the companions who is close
to him to read.
Inform him everything.
The brothers can sit in front, bring the
chair and put, join the other brothers.
Inshallah.
Alhamdulillah.
Then, when they explain everything to the Prophet,
then the Prophet have faith in what they
have explained to him.
He just use his ring.
He have a ring, written there, Muhammad Rasulullah.
And he stamp on any kind of letter
that he have to confirm that he receive
it.
And later on he will call a companion
to write a letter to respond.
And he stamp again.
Now what is the difference between the Prophet's
environment and our?
Because Allah have prepared for him Hawariyun.
A group of sincere, honest, committed people around
him.
Good people.
Not like our environment.
We are good, our children are good.
But the environment is not good.
And that's why we have a lot of
problem.
Now what do Allah does when he choose
an unlettered messenger, Prophet?
And he was chosen to be the last.
And he was chosen not to send to
one race, to the Arab, but to mankind,
the whole mankind.
Every nation, tribes, have to follow his way.
Because he was sent as the way to
Allah.
The only way.
You cannot feel that I am okay if
I follow other people, other way.
No, you cannot.
You have to follow the way Allah have
chosen for us.
Then Allah taught him his ayah.
Allah sent angel Gabriel to recite the verses
of Allah.
Let the Prophet listen and follow.
Listen and follow, remember?
So the best education, the best way to
educate anybody, ourself, our family, is we have
to remind everyone, especially children when they're young,
to listen and obey.
Listen and obey.
Simple as that, but we have been failing.
Because we don't keep on monitoring, reminding.
When we talk, are they listening?
Or we just talk for the sake of
talking.
Whether they listen or not, that's not our
problem.
You have to ask us.
Very important.
When we have this discipline from the beginning,
brothers and sisters, keep on reminding children their
fitra is they like to play.
No problem.
Time for them to play, let them play.
Time to eat, eat.
Don't keep on talking a lot when eating.
Then later on they don't have the desire
to continue eating.
Especially don't talk about problem when you're eating.
The mood of eating will disappear sometimes.
Just talk about the food.
Alhamdulillah, tastes good.
Be grateful.
Just example.
Be focused in your communication.
يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَتِهِ وَيُزَكِّهِمْ Allah is telling us,
there is no other better way to help
to develop a good heart, a good understanding,
to purify your heart and your mind, than
to use the verses of Allah.
The verses of Allah is here to purify
everybody's feeling that you are not sure what
is good, we don't know.
We are not sure what is the best
for us because we are human.
Our knowledge is very limited.
If you see today in the internet, one
day they will tell you how good is
this thing.
Don't eat other thing, focus on this.
Suddenly we also start to follow.
Why?
Because we want to keep ourselves healthy.
After few months, there will be another video.
Call themselves a doctor, scientist.
Very dangerous.
This is poison.
It's killing you.
Don't eat.
Stay away.
Move to another brand, another product.
So we've been human.
Very easily will follow.
Because they call themselves, we make research, doctors,
scientists.
Only Allah knows what is behind all this
issue.
It's a big business.
So the only thing that can make sure
we have some peace is what Allah said.
Allah never lies.
Human lies.
Business people, only Allah knows.
That's why the Prophet said, مَنْ غَشَّفَ عَلَيْسَ
مِنَّا Whoever do business have the intention to
corrupt people just to make profit for themselves.
He is not my ummah.
You are out.
You can say, لا إله إلا الله محمد
رسول الله The Prophet said, You are not
my ummah.
It's gone.
There's no future anymore.
You get what you want in this world,
nothing in akhira.
So what can make you become a very
honest, sincere, committed person in whatever you do,
whatever you say, whatever you, business that you
get involved, is by purifying your heart and
your mind.
Read the book of Allah.
Read the Quran.
How many of us check our children when
they want to sleep?
Do they read?
Say, قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ Example.
The shortest surah.
Even that we don't have time.
We let them with what they want to
do.
No problem.
At this time now, sleeping hour, you have
all the handphone.
You don't leave it to them.
They cannot sleep.
You just have to collect.
Collection time.
Come on.
Every time, in everything in life, there's a
limit.
There are time you're off, there are time
you're on.
There was a unit here.
Something happened because they forget to off the
fan.
Let the fan keep on running for days.
Caught fire.
Fire brigade have to come.
You cannot underestimate what is happening.
Minor thing you thought, it's just a fan.
But when it's been on non-stop, and
the family travels, maybe going visit family member,
forget to off a fan.
So it's very important to discipline ourselves.
Children are growing.
Allah said, قُوْ أَنفُسَتُمُ أَهْلِكُمْ نَارَةً Save yourself,
save your family.
Train them.
Boys, please go down and check.
Everything off or not.
Fan off.
This off.
We don't even bother to do anything.
It's up to them.
Now if you don't discipline them from young,
you don't guide them, they will never have
this good habit.
They will take everything for granted.
They know how to on, they don't know
how to off.
They know how to open the fridge, they
don't know how to close.
What is going to happen?
Whatever been kept inside, kalas.
Spoiled, we get upset.
But this is just a reminder.
What can the book of Allah, the Quran
do to us?
To guide you, and to increase your knowledge
and wisdom.
Allah said, وَيُعَلِّمُ الْكِتَابِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ Not only this
book is giving our children the right knowledge.
Now knowledge will only come when you call
them to read and they understand.
How many parents check on their children?
Have you memorized this surah?
Okay.
Fatiha?
Okay.
How many of them ask them, can you
explain to mama, daddy, what is surah al
-fatiha?
How many parents does that?
We don't have time.
Confident, no?
You have memorized, you send them to school,
send them to the teacher, and they have
memorized.
It's okay.
How many of us play the role as
a parent to try their level best to
help the children?
Engage with that.
Okay, you memorize the fatiha.
What is, الحمد لله رب العالمين الرحمن الرحيم
Call them to explain the meaning.
Example.
Why to make sure that whatever they have
been learning, they understand.
They value it.
But if our children has been blessed by
Allah, they themselves have the awareness, الحمد لله
they will learn by themselves without we asking
them.
Then they may want to confirm with us.
Papa, mama, see, is that correct what I
just read?
Then you may have another problem because we
don't even memorize.
I have a lot of students who have
children, الحمد لله the upbringing was very good
and the children were sent to read the
Quran, memorize Quran.
Now, مقدام clear.
I'm not going to focus on the long
surah.
The short, short مقدام, clear, children memorize.
So Ramadan comes in, the father always lead
them in the prayer.
Every rakaat, first rakaat, قلية, second rakaat, قلوة
الله.
So the children was listening so that there
will be other surah that the father going
to recite so that they can ممارسة, they
can gain the benefit, they can follow.
But the father, the whole Ramadan, قلية, قلوة
الله, قلية, قلوة الله.
Then the children came to me one day
and said, Shaykh, is that okay when we
feel boring following our father, the imam in
praying?
We feel bored, only قلية, قلوة الله, قلية,
قلوة الله.
We are waiting for other surah.
I said, Alhamdulillah, you all have been blessed
in a way.
At least your father can recite قلية, قلوة
الله.
Some father, no قلية, no قلوة الله.
Some father cannot be imam, they are always
good ma'mum.
At least your father, قلية, قلوة الله, قلية,
قلوة الله.
They even said to the father, father, there's
no other surah that you can recite?
Boring, right?
Every night, قلية, قلوة الله, قلية, قلوة الله.
So this is to remind us, we must
also do our homework, memorize more than that.
And we must understand.
Then when the children have memorized, we want
them to understand so that they'll gain a
lot of wisdom.
Wow, this is what Allah said.
Yeah, Allah said this.
Whatever Allah said, 100% right.
We never go wrong.
We must connect our children with the Quran.
But before that, we ourselves must be connected.
Brothers and sisters, the Quran is a very
unique book.
Divine guidance.
To explain everything in detail so that we
know what to do, what not to do,
what to say, what not to say.
By following the Quran, inshallah, wherever your children
go, they will be safe.
They will not easily be corrupted by the
environment, by their friends.
Inshallah.
Because Allah promised us.
He said, إِنَّ نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الْزِكْرَ وَإِنَّ لَهُ
لَحَافِظٌ We reveal the final book, the Holy
Quran.
And this Quran acts as a reminder.
And if you are reminded every day and
you follow the reminder, it will protect you
like how Allah protect the Quran.
The Quran is here to protect you.
Safeguard you from all the evil thing that
is going to destroy you.
Simple as that.
And the beauty of the verses of Allah,
لَا رَيْبَ فِيه Allah said, قِتَابْ لَا رَيْبَ
This book, every single ayah in this book,
every story written by Allah, I mean mentioned
by Allah, is true.
لَا رَيْبَ فِيه There's no doubt.
Everything that Allah said happened is going to
happen.
It's nothing, oh, it won't be happening.
No, it's happening now and going to happen
in the future.
So you cannot say, I don't know how
to do, I don't know what to follow.
Everything is in the book.
Look at what Allah said, He know that
we as human must eat to survive, must
drink to survive.
And He taught us how to eat and
drink.
قُلُوا وَشْرَبُوا Eat, drink.
حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا You like to talk, no problem,
talk.
قَوْلًا قَرِيمًا قَوْلًا لَيِّنًا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا When you
want to talk, teach your children, teach them
all the good words.
Teach them the manners how to talk.
How they talk among the siblings, not screaming,
shouting.
But we also must not do this to
them.
Use only good words, beautiful words.
قَلِيمًا طَيِّبًا So that our children now, when
He speak, He only speak what is good.
Because He pick up all the good thing
from us.
Today we have problem.
They pick up a lot of word that
is not good for them at all.
But they may not know.
They may not know.
They thought it's trendy.
So show you one simple thing that I
am very, very upset when I hear the
adult, the young generation using this word.
Even they are learning about Islam, but it
become norm to them.
Hey, guy.
Is that very common?
You call your friend guy, guy, guy.
Later on, hey, gay.
He got a name.
Call him by his name.
At least you say, إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَخْوَ All
believer are like a family brother.
Call him, my brother.
How are you, brother?
How are you, sister?
How are you, auntie?
How are you, uncle?
How are you, daddy?
How are you, mommy?
Today I was having a full day course
yesterday on marriage, family, how to start to
build a home, how to handle in-laws.
Can you imagine today sometimes you have, you
give your daughter to a man.
You see that he seems to be a
good man.
Alhamdulillah.
He pray.
He pray, alhamdulillah.
He read Quran, alhamdulillah.
But surprisingly, this man who become your family
now, don't ever, never use the word mommy,
ummi, mama, never call the mother-in-law
with her status as a mother.
Never even call the father-in-law with
the status of papa, abuya, daddy.
You, you, you, you.
Is that good?
It's very bad.
You don't acknowledge your in-law as a
mother figure and father figure.
It's very bad.
Or maybe western value.
We are Muslim.
Sometime people take this lightly.
I talk one.
Anytime, how are you?
Who are you talking to?
Friend, no problem.
This is your father figure.
You married their daughter and you don't even
use the word.
That's why we call father-in-law, mother
-in-law, not friend-in-law.
Just an example.
Not yet Muslim.
My family, the Chinese value, if they bring
their children, anybody elder, don't forget call uncle,
don't forget call auntie, they will remind.
These are values.
And this value is in the Quran and
the Sunnah.
Respect the elders.
Love the young one.
To the extent the Prophet said, you are
not one of my followers if you don't
respect the elder.
And the elders don't have feeling, love, passion
to the younger one.
Both sides.
This is about family.
Now today we are coming back to page
152.
Is it 152?
Inshallah.
Talking about kissing children and showing mercy to
them.
Tamam.
Kissing children.
It is recommended to show mercy to children
in many ways.
This was often done by our Prophet, peace
be upon him, the best of mankind, Muhammad,
peace be upon him.
As we have shown throughout this book, I
mean this book about family values, we have
shared with all our good brothers and sisters
from the beginning and still continuing.
Alhamdulillah.
The Prophet is the best example.
Even Allah said, You want to be a
good father, look at him.
You want to be a good husband, look
at him.
You want to be a good businessman, look
at him.
You want to be a good leader, look
at him.
Everything is in this man.
And that's why Allah commands us to follow
him.
And Allah is telling us he is the
best example.
And we keep on failing.
We thought there is another person who are
better.
So we know this hero, we know this
actor, we know this celebrity more than the
Prophet.
What is happening to us?
Just look at one man, get to know
him.
But then every year, majority of the people
in this part of the world celebrate his
birthday to show their love.
Oh, I love Prophet Muhammad a lot.
I make salawat day in, day out.
And I add more praise upon him.
You can just name it.
All the na-na-na is there.
But what did the Prophet say?
If you want to make salawat, just follow
my way.
I show you the way.
When Allah said, Allah and the angels make
salawat upon the Prophet.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ You who
believe, perform salawat upon the Prophet.
But you see, the companion is not like
you and me.
Immediately they ask the Prophet, how to perform
salawat?
And the Prophet respond.
فَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
قَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَهِمْ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَهِمْ إِنَّكَ
حَمِدٌ مَجِدٌ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ
مُحَمَّدٍ قَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَهِمْ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَهِمْ
إِنَّكَ حَمِدٌ مَجِدٌ Example.
Or at least you say, اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّي عَلَى
مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ Don't try to come
up with your own kind of salawat.
And give name to this salawat that even
the Prophet don't even know.
The Prophet never taught.
None of the companion recite that manner.
We keep coming with new innovation, new way
of making salawat.
Do you think you know better?
Do you think the Imam know better than
Prophet Muhammad how to salawat?
Think that we don't know.
What did Allah say?
Ask.
When you ask, you must ask with a
mind that is open, open mind, with the
pure heart.
If they say, yeah, this is the best
way.
If anybody say, this is the best way.
Alhamdulillah, number one, remember best way.
Then we have the right, can I have
any evidence, dalil?
Because I'm going to share with my friend,
but my friend may ask me, do you
have any reference?
I do not want to be caught in
between.
I'm doing something without knowledge.
Just hearsay.
Is that easy?
Did we ask for that?
We don't ask.
See how good our heart is?
We don't ask.
There are things that you have to ask.
Because this is your future.
You want to do something correct.
You want to do something that Allah accept.
You want to do something that you feel
happy, aman salat.
And because anything good you want to share
with your family, your friend, you do not
want to mislead anybody.
So everybody say the same thing.
What the Prophet have taught us is the
best.
The Prophet, for instance, he rub over the
children's head.
This is something that he like to do.
He saw children, he like to go to
them.
If they don't come to him, he'll go
to them, rub their head.
Aman salat, head.
Some culture, they don't allow you to rub
head.
Some culture, the head, some people like to
come and give a tap at your back,
batok.
Some people, why you focus on that area?
Some people shake hand.
Some people hug children.
There's nothing wrong.
You can even hug them, carry them.
They're still very light, lightweight.
Those who are heavyweight, don't carry them.
You injure yourself.
The light one.
It's good.
Rub the children's head, give them gift, call
them with nickname something, kunya.
Give them a good nickname.
Sometimes they have a father, call them the
name of the father or the name of
the mother in case.
Give them a good name.
So giving good name to your children is
very important in Islam because when people call
the children's name, it's like a prayer, calling
them.
Example, can we name our daughter Sakina?
Mawadda.
Arabic, sound Arabic, but good meaning.
Sakina means peace, tranquility.
Mawadda, love.
To call them love, love, sometimes people say
what?
Love, love.
In a different language, but the meaning is
beautiful.
But then you must make sure that you
train them, make them have that kind of
behavior, character.
They're at peace.
They bring peace wherever they go.
Example.
They are loving children.
So now they learn how to love their
sibling.
They love to clean.
They love everything that is good, they love.
That's how you have to educate the children.
Perform tahniq.
Can you imagine, brother and sister, the Prophet
show us all the SOP when you have
a newborn baby, what to do?
Not just happy birthday to you.
No, the Prophet never sing this song.
Neither any companion sing this song.
But today a lot of Muslim love this
song.
Even you're not happy, but you say happy
birthday, but you're not happy.
Sometimes you wish that he's not born, man.
Azab, these children is problematic.
Tahniq, what is tahniq?
And even the Prophet show us, if you
love your family, seven day of the birth,
you have confirmed a good name.
You can choose by yourself, but before you
affirm this name, registered is an official name,
double check.
With people who have knowledge, do this name
sound good, but do they carry good meaning?
Sometimes it sound good, meaning is bad.
Don't name them that, because everybody who's calling
this name is a prayer to them, praying
something bad to happen to them.
Don't do that.
Name clear, shukr.
Then on the seventh day, everything must be
done.
You do, confirm the name, bring them, or
you can do that, shave their hair.
Shave, not cut, shave.
Starting from the right side, clean this baby
hair.
And what do you do with the hair?
You weigh it on a scale.
See how many gram, and check the market
today.
Online you can check.
Minimum silver.
But if you want to give extra, anything
good, especially donation, food, no problem.
You want to give the gold value, one
gram how much, silver is minimum.
Gold may be expensive, but you have the
money.
What is that?
It's to donate on behalf of the children,
of your baby.
You donate that.
To those, the poor and the needy, who
deserve it.
We hope by doing that, we train our
children from baby, love to give.
Love to give to the poor and the
needy.
Then after shaving the hair, tahniq is recommended.
Tahniq from the prophet, he will chew dates.
He will chew the date and get the
juice from the date.
And then he will use his finger and
rub on the gum of the baby.
And you see, baby start to respond.
Because baby was not taught to drink anything
except mother's milk.
And mother's milk, umum, in general, are not
sweet.
But it's just well-balanced nutrition.
And then the baby will respond.
While you are doing tahniq, making dua for
the baby.
How all the sweet thing is getting to
his mouth.
We hope that in the future, whatever he
say is sweet.
All the good thing, all the good word.
Kalima tayiba, kalima hasana.
Everything is like symbolic.
The children, the baby don't know.
What you feed him also he don't know.
But it's our duty.
If you feel that you want to chew
with all the viruses today and everything.
We don't know whether, you know, sometimes when
people talk about chewing.
That the prophet did spit sometimes.
But prophet is unique.
Allah bless him with a lot of extra
miracle.
But today we also feel that it's okay.
But sometimes cause harm to the baby.
If you don't want to use date or
you don't want to chew by yourself.
Because we don't know our saliva whether it's
healthy or not.
It may cause harm to the baby.
You can put some zamzam water mixed with
the date.
Smash it with your hand and then take
a bit of the sweetness.
And rub on the baby's gum.
Or the other option.
Something sweet.
Use honey because the prophet said.
If you want to seek cure for anything.
Seek cure, remedy from two.
Honey or Quran.
For baby you put honey.
Just few time you rub at the gum
and make dua.
Then akhikar comes in.
Baby girl, one goat, one sheep.
Baby boy, two.
And then you can divide into three part.
One third you can take.
One third you give to anybody.
Your neighbor, your family members, your friend.
And one third to the poor and the
needy.
From very young now.
Allah and the prophet is guiding us how
to do to our newborn.
So that the blessing that we are doing
now will go to the baby.
But we don't even value all this.
That is what tahniq is.
So you do.
Give their nickname, perform tahniq.
Supplicate for them, dua.
That is what we do here when people
send their children, baby.
We will do this.
We explain to the parent what to do
now.
And how to educate your children from baby.
Each time when you want to feed your
baby.
If you feel tired.
And he is not active enough.
And now you have extra milk.
You put it in a bottle.
But when you feed the baby, don't forget
to feed the baby.
Your right hand, right hand.
Your mid who is going to carry the
baby.
The father, grandmother.
Remind, use the right hand, right hand.
Because the prophet say don't eat, don't drink
with your left hand.
All these are value.
Because by right hand you have blessing, barakah.
Not only halal, but halal and mubarak.
That is what we want.
But today people don't care.
Any hand goes.
That is not right.
You have to be alert as a parent.
Anybody who want to give food to the
children, make sure right hand.
Children don't know.
For children, they don't know what is right,
what is left sometimes.
But you have to keep on reminding them
from young.
One day can hear you.
You must discipline them.
But you see a lot of parents fail
to do this.
That is why the children are confused.
You don't blame them.
But if you monitor them from baby, from
childhood, inshallah.
Shaitan will stay further from them.
Because shaitan cannot eat, cannot drink with them.
Each time they want to eat, bismillah, you
say right hand.
Shaitan cannot eat.
When shaitan have no food, no drink, he
become weak.
Your child become stronger and the shaitan become
weaker.
He will be protected.
Examples, this few simple thing, make dua.
Then as they are growing up, they don't
know.
What is a dua?
Remind them, remind them.
The minute they can talk, teach them the
basic dua.
The very, very simple dua.
Short, short dua.
But how can you do that?
Because we don't even recite dua.
How are you going to help your children
when we don't even memorize the dua?
When the children wake up, yeah, what do
you say when you wake up from your
sleep?
Alhamdulillahil lazee ahyana ba'da ma'a matana wa
ilahi no shu How you enter the washroom,
the toilet?
Left foot, left foot, left leg, left.
I don't think a lot of parents today
are monitoring all this.
Supervising.
Go to toilet, toilet.
You don't know what he's doing there.
Example, you have to spend some time to
show your love and mercy to them to
make them become righteous children.
Then you will have a lot of peace
in the future.
But we overlook.
We send them to kindergarten.
Good.
From very young, they go to school.
But what kind of kindergarten?
Go and sing, go and learn how to
dance and sing.
A lot of school, they do a lot
of crazy activities.
But if you still want to send them
to play, no problem.
But you must monitor them.
When they are back home, you reinforce all
the Islamic values.
That is how the upbringing of a Muslim
children, yeah.
Make dua.
Teach them the dua.
Taught them simple instruction.
Remind them the simple thing that they have
to be alert.
It's like eating, drinking.
They always eat your right hand, right hand.
Instruct them.
After they take something from there, remind them.
Put it back later on.
Where you took it, put it back.
Discipline them from young.
When they are eating, don't waste.
Teach them not to waste.
Inshallah.
Inshallah, as they grow up, they value the
food.
They understand what is kindliness.
Allahu Akbar.
And when you pray, you can even carry
them sometimes when they are, yeah.
Baby, you can carry them.
If you leave them down, they may start
to crawl here and there or they may
cry and disturb you in your prayer.
Carry them.
The only thing when you carry a baby
while you are praying, of course, you always
carry left hand because you are going to
make takbir.
Allahu Akbar.
But don't forget you are carrying a baby.
Suddenly takbir, you raise two hands.
Allahu Akbar.
Boom.
Then you know you cannot pray anymore.
The baby is going to cry.
You hurt the baby.
Carry them.
The Prophet show you.
Carry your left hand.
Pray.
Allahu Akbar.
And then when you go down, still, you
still hold them.
When you come to sujood, before you make
sujood, you go down, then put them down
and you make proper sujood.
But when you are coming up, carry them
again and go for the second, rakat, third,
and fourth.
The Prophet show us.
Islam is I don't care.
I'm going to pray.
Let him cry.
Then you disturb, yeah, the jamaat.
And some imam don't have common sense.
When they hear their baby crying, shorten your
prayer.
If you want to reset sabihis, surah akh
lagu, inna akh ta'ina.
Make it short.
It's okay.
But some imam, the more the baby cry,
shaitan.
He's not saying he cannot say that deep
inside.
He read longer surah.
They don't have feeling.
The Prophet have alert his ummah.
When you are praying, you must show mercy
to the old, to the sick, and to
the children.
If they are crying, hasten your prayer.
But you, all the adab, you must follow.
Only you don't prolong all the long surah.
Cut it short.
To show that you have mercy to them.
You know there's a view there.
I don't know if it's true or not.
This is about adab, not children anymore.
When they are starting to pray jamaat, suddenly
one adab just like to run in front
of the staff.
Maybe he was taught to run before, when
he was a baby.
Now when he is about 10, 15 years
old, he still run.
And he run in front of the staff
of the jamaat.
Only one guy who is daring enough, when
he was running, running, come to his time,
he just stop him and push him so
he fall.
All these are discipline.
You must educate the children from young.
Then this will not happen.
If not, they don't know that praying is
something so important that you must have adab.
The prophet sometimes will kiss the children.
Baby, kiss them.
You don't have to kiss on their lip.
Kiss their forehead.
And it's good the children sometimes will also
kiss your hand.
But you don't have to teach them to
kiss your feet.
Some culture go down.
But not necessary to that level.
Because we are worried they start to worship
you.
Hand, okay.
That's why you see some scholars when people
want to kiss their hand, they allow.
But when too much, they say, okay.
And some people, you don't just kiss their
hand for nothing.
You kiss their hand, in return you must
give something.
That's why all the habaib, they like to
self-claim, I am the descendant of prophet
Muhammad.
From which family tree?
They create their trees.
And now they are coming with all the
robe, all the dressing.
So happens that he looks so handsome.
People say, look at him like looking at
the moon.
Full moon, so bright.
Then every time you touch his hand, you
must give them some money.
Barakah, barakah.
This is not a free kiss.
This is a kiss with some payment.
The danger is that people are starting to
worship this kind of people.
And they allow it to happen.
The prophet never allowed.
But children, it's different.
It's to train them to feel closer to
us, not scared.
And also, we show that we love children.
Show mercy.
Abu Hurairah reported that Allah's messenger, prophet Muhammad,
kissed al-Hassan bin Ali, his grandson, in
the presence of al-Aqra bin Habib al
-Tamimi.
Then al-Aqra commented, indeed I have ten
children and have never kissed any of them.
Sometimes Allah grants us with a lot of
children.
And they admit, I never kiss my children.
I want my children to be tough.
Too tough that the children don't respect you
anymore.
Allah's messengers looked at him and said, He
who does not show mercy, no mercy will
be shown to him by Allah.
You can be tough at the right time,
the right place.
But when you are playing with children, play
with them.
Even the prophet played with Hassan and Hussein.
Hassan is the eldest.
The last is Hussein.
These two names are very popular among the
Muslims and loved by the Shia, especially Hussein.
That's why when I became the Imam and
Director of the Islamic Centre in Hong Kong,
because my name is Hussein, so the Shia
group loved to invite me to their gathering.
I exposed a bit here and there, but
I don't know what they are doing sometimes
because I was not involved with their celebration
and all these things.
So one year, Muharram time, they invite me.
And they have their Ayatollah coming down to
Hong Kong.
Special day, special occasion.
And they start to talk about Hussein.
Start to talk about Ali.
And then they are going further and further
now.
From sitting down, they are standing up.
Now they are hitting their body now.
Yeah, Hussein.
Yeah, Hussein.
Everybody is hitting their body.
Hitting their face.
Hitting their back.
Harder and harder.
Harder and harder.
Their ambulance is ready already in case they
injure themselves.
No problem.
If heart attack, no problem.
Doctor is there to show their love towards
Hussein.
Towards Ali.
So when they stand, I also stand.
It's not good.
They stand, I sit down.
But they start to hit themselves.
I just look and get some experience.
Oh, this is how you celebrate the 10th
of Muharram.
So after 20 minutes, they're getting slower, slower.
Then they rest.
Now they're back to normal.
After that, that's where they introduce Bubur Asura.
That is the history of Bubur Asura.
The Malay are very popular with this.
Because anything to do with food, we remember.
Why you call Bubur Asura?
Because they start to cook a dish.
Soapy, like soup, but with pan kind of
thing in this soup.
This bean, that bean, mixed with pan kind
of thing, and then they cook.
That's why they call Asura.
It's like the Chinese used to call *
Chai.
Mixed veggie.
You go to Chinese restaurant, you have this
veggie, you also have mixed veggie.
To them, they say * Chai.
* means 10.
10 type of vegetable.
So they mix.
Long bean, short bean, and all the different
type.
They mix and cook.
And now you have what?
The ABC, Ay Batu Champo.
Anything Champo, Champo, came from them.
After we finish eating, they ask me, Imam,
how do you feel about what have happened
just now?
I said, my whole body is aching now.
I feel pain everywhere.
Oh, you also feel?
That means good.
Yeah, because each time you beat yourself, you
call my name.
Yah Hosein, Yah Hosein.
No.
They start to laugh at me.
Of course, I don't hit myself.
Why must I injure myself?
But what I'm going to share with you,
even among the companions before, they are hardcore
people.
Arabs are very hard-hearted people.
They are not the soft ones.
That's why the Prophet was sent to the
Arabs.
If you can change this kind of people,
you can change other people.
Can you see how hard-hearted they are?
If the Prophet said, I'm the messenger, prove
to me.
Show me some miracle.
With the help of Allah, he showed them
the miracle.
They never believe.
Very hard-hearted people.
If we somebody can show you some miracle,
call us, man.
You don't know what's going to happen.
Everywhere you talk about him, and then you
are going to mention his name, call his
name, and you are going to promote him
very, very fast.
Because we cannot.
Our heart is very soft.
I was seeing some in the Instagram, people
worshipping this Sheikh.
Why?
They put him on the car, the rooftop,
and he was just holding a walking stick,
and he raised his two legs like he
was floating, like he was floating.
See?
Ajaib.
You move around the village, everybody, Sheikh, he
is floating.
See?
He just use a walking stick, and you
see both leg is up, and he still
float.
Wow.
Have you seen this before?
Wow.
I have seen this many times.
In China, many things happen.
They are so good, creative, innovative, they can
create something, and they tie it on your
leg, and you wear long sleeve, and then
you can just raise up your two leg,
because the thing is there to support you.
It's like you are sitting on that thing,
but no one knows.
Because I brought one with me here, but
I don't use it yet.
One day if I use it, suddenly I'm
sitting here, I raise my leg, but I'm
still sitting.
And people will come and try, is this
some seer?
Nothing you cannot touch, because it was attached
with my leg.
And you tie it properly, and then now
you can just raise up your leg, pretend
that you are sitting, and that thing will
help you to be stable.
You can get this in China.
China wonders.
They can do so many things.
To layman, can see in the Sheikh, he
must be the descendant of Prophet.
You see, he float.
Please, be careful.
Aisha, radiallahu anha, reported that some Bedouin who
visited Prophet Muhammad, asked his companions, Do you
kiss your children?
They asked among themselves.
The companions said, Yes.
The Bedouin said, By Allah, we never kiss
them.
The Bedouin is the desert, the village Arab.
So the Prophet said, Awa amlikulakum inna za
'allahu min qulubikum rahma.
What can I do for you, if Allah
has removed mercy from your heart?
The Prophet now is, you have moved the
slide?
Good.
What can I do for you, if Allah
has removed mercy from your heart?
You know, mercy, brothers and sisters, is a
gift from Allah.
Fa bima rahmati minamuhi linda lahum.
Even our Prophet, Allah said, It is Allah
who has put the mercy into your heart,
Ya Prophet Muhammad, to have the love towards
the young, the poor, the needy.
It's a gift.
But of course, we must train our children
from young, and Allah will grant them the
mercy.
When the person have mercy, when he talk
to people, he's a very soft-spoken person.
Layyin.
When you have no mercy, you scream at
people.
When you have no mercy to your children,
you scream at them, shout at them.
But when you have mercy, you don't do
that.
You talk to them, you engage with them.
When you talk to them, you call them
to come, you hold them, you touch them,
you carry them sometimes.
Have you seen when the children, when you're
a baby, when you're two, three years old,
you're walking, when the children is tired, what
do they do?
They like to run, walk, but when they
are tired, and you are there, what do
they do?
Anybody remember?
What do these children do?
You can't remember?
Very simple.
These babies, they like to run because they
don't want to keep on sitting, they run,
but when you are with them, when they
are tired, they just surrender to you.
They raise up their hands.
When they surrender to you, what do you
do?
You also surrender.
They raise their two hands, you also raise
your two hands.
What they want, they want you to carry
them.
Allahu Akbar.
I love to see children like that.
When they do that, Mashallah, I will quickly
carry them.
My grandchildren, when they come, they will jump
on us because they like that hug.
But now they are growing up, now they
are 13, 14, they still want to jump.
So we say, no, no, no, you can
come, we can hug you.
Jumping, we are worried that we will fall
because you are getting bigger and heavier now.
But you love to see them just surrender
themselves.
Because children, you see, very easy, they can
sleep while walking.
You carry them, they are gone already.
Alhamdulillah.
It's an enigma.
Children can sleep anywhere, anytime.
So this is just to show us, when
you don't show mercy, that means your heart
is very hard and it's not good.
You can humble yourself.
If you are not used to it, the
Prophet himself is showing the example, follow him,
simple as that.
If you never kiss your children before, now
kiss them.
Play with them.
You know what is the discipline that normally
parents have towards their children?
If they don't listen, if they are naughty,
what do you say to them?
You know, in your house, for the Chinese
family, we have this.
I don't know about the other nation or
race.
When we are very naughty, when we are
young, baby, and the parents who want to
discipline us, mostly are mother.
But the mother is very, very alert about
the character of the children, not the father.
The father is always a hero because the
father always corrupts the children.
They have no time to spend with children,
so they buy presents, they give them ice
cream, they give them this, chocolate, and make
them more energetic.
That's why they love their father.
But the mother knows in and out of
the children because they are the one who
is taking care of the children.
But sometimes mother also fails.
If you are not alert and you do
not work together as a family, father and
mother, as a team to discipline your children,
you are going to fail them.
So when we are very active, too active,
the mother said, kneel down in front of
the idol.
The Chinese have their idol at home which
they believe this is their god, their deity.
Discipline yourself, kneel down there and don't move.
No food, no drink.
And grandparents, if still around, they will come
and interfere.
Enough, enough.
But mother was like, don't let them move
from their place.
Leave them there until we drop.
Sit too long, then you're gone.
Or some parents, they don't have this, they
don't have this belief.
They call, you go to that corner.
What corner is that?
Anybody remember?
You can see in time out, that is
called naughty corner.
You don't see anybody except that corner.
Look there.
Stand there.
Different people have different discipline.
But the prophet love us not to punish
them in that manner.
Talk to them.
They don't understand.
Alhamdulillah.
You said Alhamdulillah just now?
Good, Alhamdulillah.
So Abu Huraira, r.a, reported, Indeed Allah's
messenger used to stick his tongue out for
Al-Hassan bin Adid.
When the baby saw the redness of the
prophet's tongue, he rushed to him.
Meaning the prophet like to play with the
grandchildren.
It's good to play, play with them.
They play their game that do not cause
harm to them.
It's okay.
Even you want to give them toys today,
it's okay.
But please make sure you give them the
right toys.
I always educate a lot of my students
that was from the 80s who have children.
Don't buy sword or gun for the children
from very young.
They learn how to shoot at each other.
Bang, bang, bang.
Of course there's no bullet.
But you are training them to shoot at
each other.
Then people are not careful with my advice.
They saw these people are selling toys and
shield and sword.
They go and buy for their children.
So what happen when they are praying, the
children come with the sword from behind and
poke them.
Especially when they are making rokok or sujud.
Then they feel the pain.
Children don't know it's a game.
Everything is a game to them.
They thought that this is a game.
They don't know it's going to hurt somebody.
They don't know.
So you must be careful even game that
you want to play with them, toy that
you want to buy for them, that do
not train them to cause harm to themselves
and also give them the opportunity to harm
others, which they don't know.
So it's very important.
We hope Allah give us the wisdom.
So please wisdom come from Allah again.
وَيُعَلِّهُ الْكِتَابُ وَالْحِكْمَةُ By reading the Quran, understand
the Quran, looking at the sunnah of our
Prophet, you will get a lot of information.
How to engage with your children.
That's why I was talking to the group
of our participants yesterday.
Don't use three S's with your children.
Three S's.
Don't shout.
Don't scream.
Don't keep on scolding them because they don't
know.
Talk to them.
Engage with them.
Guide them.
Coach them.
But you must be alert.
But when the children is growing up, the
children can learn and the elders teach the
young one.
Help is our duty so that our younger
brother and sister will respect us, will love
us when they grow up because we are
helping them.
We show mercy to the younger one and
they will respect the elders because we take
care of them.
That's how we work in a family.
Parents show good example and now the elders
among the family is taking over.
Help the parents by teaching the younger sibling.
So we work like one big family.
Then you see these young children that you
have who are the elders in the family.
Even they are young, but they have all
the good values.
They are starting to have the mercy to
the younger sibling.
They don't bully the younger one.
And when they say something, the younger one
responds to the elders because we care for
each other.
Inshallah, we have the elderly boy with us.
If you have any younger sibling, show.
And then if you have the nieces, your
cousin, show them you care about them.
Remind them.
If they become good through your little effort,
you get reward from Allah.
This cousin of you who are so young
is showing good example, good character because of
you helping them.
Can you imagine all the good thing they
are doing now?
You collect the reward from Allah.
Everybody can play the part.
Everybody can do something before it's too late.
Then later you say, my cousin or that
cousin, he's very bad.
Why he become bad?
You know and you don't do something.
That's why amal ma'ruh nahi munkar is
the responsibility for every one of us.
You see something wrong, you have to help
and correct it.
Don't just leave it and then they don't
know that that is wrong because they are
younger than you so you can tell them.
Talk to them.
Stop them from doing something that is wrong.
Maybe your age group is not that far,
so easy for you to talk to them.
You can play with them, but while playing
you remind them.
You know next time you don't do this,
you don't do that.
You don't throw things like this, don't throw
things like that.
You just don't go to any people's house
and take things without their permission and where
you took it, you must keep, put it
back.
You discipline.
Then now this cousin of yours or your
nieces or your nephew, they pick up the
good value and it is from your effort
when you was young, 10, 15 years old,
you are showing all these good example to
the younger one and now they grow up
and they become so good.
They will remember you.
Until today when we have a family gathering,
normally I recall my elder sisters.
You know the elders always have to sacrifice
more because the young one want extra attention.
So the parents have to attend to the
younger one, ignore the elders one.
I always share my experience with all other
siblings because among the boys, I'm the youngest,
but I have two younger sisters and the
rest are elders.
I will recall my elder sister's sacrifice.
She just give in.
She just help the other sibling.
Anything to do with food, he let them
eat first.
And she will come in and help to
clean everything.
I still remember.
So I always share all this good experience
with all the other siblings.
We are blessed to have the elders who
care for us.
It's not like today the elders, they eat
first.
They don't share it with the younger sibling.
They make the younger sibling cry always.
Amang do this, kakak do this.
Don't do that.
You must show good example.
So may Allah grant us extra mercy so
that wherever you go, you bring love and
mercy to your family, to the sibling, and
to the people around you.
Ameen.
Inshallah, if there's any question, now you're open
for question and answer.
Tafadhal.
Any question online?
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
From Sister Ilyani Rosmady.
Assalamualaikum, Sheikh.
Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
What is your opinion on our Malay culture
where children need to salam, handshake the elders
to teach them respect?
Repeat slowly the question.
What is your opinion on our Malay culture
where children need to salam, handshake the elders
to teach them respect?
What is our opinion when certain culture like
the Malay have their own culture, when you
meet the elders, you go and shake their
hand to show respect.
It's okay, no problem.
It's a good culture.
Any good culture that don't contradict the Islamic
value, you can carry on.
But it's also good once in a while
you learn how to hug the elders.
When you are still very young, you can
hug them, especially they are your mahram.
That is good.
But there will come a time we are
growing and then you are akhir baligh.
Then the non-mahram, you don't do that
anymore.
You just respect them, call them with their
titles and then that's all.
Give salam.
Normally, teach them to give salam.
A lot of people say, go and salam
with your uncle, go and salam with your
auntie.
But what the children does, they just go
and hold their hand, kiss their hand without
saying salam.
That is not what the Prophet want you
to do.
When you say go and salam, means give
salam.
So we adults must also teach them.
When they don't give salam, they just want
to hold your hand, kiss your hand, you
say, what do you say?
If they don't remember, teach them, give salam.
Say, assalamualaikum.
Teach them.
Then you say assalamualaikum, then you respond, waalaikumsalam
rahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
That's how you have to discipline them.
They started with something good, but if you
just ignore, they will never get used with
giving salam.
They just come and hold your hand, shake
your hand, kiss your hand.
But that is not what the Prophet want
us to do.
Teach the children to say salamualaikum.
It's like our children sometimes, the young one
while they are talking, they sneeze.
After that they keep on talking, they don't
say alhamdulillah.
So what should you do?
Remind them, you say alhamdulillah.
You say no, say now, say now.
Alhamdulillah.
Then you respond, yurhamqullah.
And then you want them to respond, they
don't memorize.
Then you guide them.
Respond, yahdiikumullahu muslibah.
All this exercise, reminder, is to connect your
children and yourself with Allah.
To remember Allah.
That's how we should move on.
Don't take things for granted.
Ah, it's okay, next time.
No next time on the spot you correct.
The habit of next time never come.
Normally people will come to me, they hold
my hand, I say, what do you say?
They don't know what to say because the
parents don't remind them.
Say assalamualaikum.
Then assalamualaikum.
Waalaikumussalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Then I say, remember when you salam, you
see any Muslim, give salam.
Assalamualaikum.
That is the proper manner, naam.
Next, yah, sister.
Pass the mic to the sister.
Assalamualaikum, Shaykh.
Waalaikumussalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Okay, regarding the last question, right, but what
about the parents who are worried to teach
their kids to give salam to people in
regards to afraid of diseases or adults with
bad intentions?
Show me one example, okay.
So, like we want to teach kids.
To give salam, okay.
But also the concept of stranger danger.
The concept of what?
Stranger danger.
Greater danger.
Stranger.
Strangers.
Strangers, okay.
Yah, so nowadays there are a lot of
cases who kids who are very nice and
they are being manipulated by adults with bad
intentions.
Yah, so what about that?
How do we find the balance?
Thank you.
Of course, the children is always with us.
So when we bring them to visit friend
or anything to elders, we remind them to
give salam.
Of course, these are our friend, a stranger
to our children.
It's okay.
But we don't want them to just go
and, you know, to any stranger and give
salam.
Yah, the stranger can be very cunning today.
The stranger can start to give them sweet,
win them over, kidnap them, and gone.
Today the world has changed.
Don't play with strangers.
We as adults must be alert.
We must be there.
You see, today people go for the kill.
They don't care.
They cannot do all the bad things, but
they just pass it over to another group,
and they can get good money.
Thousands of dollars, they can just get one
baby and pass it to somebody, and people
will start to operate them and get his
organ.
It's gone.
So we must be very alert today with
all that is happening around us.
Don't play it around.
That's why I always remind all the young
people when you send your children to the
playground, and you must be there.
And the biggest problem sometimes, even in the
Instagram, you'll see, when people was there, the
adult is there, but the adult is busy
with the handphone.
The children is playing, and it's disappeared.
And that's why when the people who are
very alert about this, when they saw this
happen to the other, they come to their
parents, they take their phone, they throw and
smash it.
See what is happening to your children.
You don't care.
We must be alert.
When you go outdoor today, you must be
careful.
You have a lot of people who are
just waiting for your carelessness.
They strike.
Be alert.
Even you go shopping complex, everything, you go
and buy grocery, you bring your children, alert,
make sure they are always beside you.
This is a killer.
This handphone can kill a lot of people.
Sometimes the people might, you have the phone,
baby, you have the phone, child.
Wow.
If they are going to, it's a bite.
We don't want anybody to regret.
And you cry for what?
It's not too late.
Once it's gone, gone.
So we all must be alert.
It's not our children, but it's other people's
children.
And something happens, what do you do?
What do you do?
You don't care.
Sometimes we behave like, it's not my children,
I don't want to get involved.
That is very bad.
You see something wrong immediately, you come in.
That's why they always see, these are people
who care.
The security today is up to every one
of us.
You cannot depend on the official security.
Even the police today, security guard today, they
don't see.
Gone case.
That's why in China now, they have every
security person must have a body cam.
If you don't play your role, they will
monitor you.
And immediately, they will just send a message
to you or call you back.
What are you doing?
We pay you for you to just play
around.
See your handphone.
No, you, your duty is to look at
the environment.
Of course, when stranger is stranger, must be
careful.
Especially at home, you know, stranger, Assalamualaikum.
Assalamualaikum.
Careful.
You have the right not to respond if
you don't know them.
That's why the Prophet even say, when you
go to any home, you give salam three
times and the one don't respond, leave.
They adapt.
Because you don't know who they are.
They may come and tell all this.
Don't respond.
The best thing, any stranger, and you are
not been informed earlier, don't respond.
Play safe.
Okay?
Yeah.
Any other last question?
Second last question?
Any question from the younger boys?
No.
You understand what we have been sharing with
all of you?
For those who are elderly than their other
sibling, play your role as an elderly brother.
Play your role as an elderly sister if
you have somebody who is younger than you.
Then you gain respect because they know you
care for them.
You love them.
You show mercy to them.
They will love you more.
You know?
They will always say to their friend, I
have a brother, a cousin brother.
I have a very good cousin brother.
That is what we want.
So may Allah help us, brothers and sisters,
and protect all of us and our family
from all kind of fitan, challenges and danger.
Yeah?
And may Allah accept our prayer, forgive all
our sins, our carelessness.
And may Allah forgive those who have passed
away.
These few days, a lot of our friends
who passed away.
Yeah?
Some leaders who have passed away.
So may Allah shower His mercy upon their
soul, forgive them, and may Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala place them among the righteous people.
Ameen.
