00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			A woman came to the prophet Muhammad alaihis
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			salaam, and she said to him,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			you Rasool Allah, I have, my mother.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			She's coming to visit us
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			in Medina.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			We are Muslim, but she is a pagan.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			What should I do with my mother?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			She wants to give me a gift, what
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			should I do if she give me a
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			gift?
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			The prophet
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			reminds her that this woman is her mother.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			She is due her honor and respect, and
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			if she gives you a gift to give
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			her a better gift SubhanAllah.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			In this season of gift giving and Christmas,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			I would like to remind you,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			to share with your coworker, with your neighbor.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			If they give you a gift, give them
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			a gift.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			And a reminder that Isa ibn Maryam,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			he was born by a virgin whose name
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			was Mary.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			That he was sent as a reformer
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			to straighten
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			what had become crooked
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			among the practice of faith.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			And to remind them about the poverty
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			that he was born into.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			And that the prophet was
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			born as an orphan.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			That in this time, we should be thinking
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			about the less fortunate people in our community.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			That perhaps,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			by this reminder,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			their hearts might be joined in faith, and
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			that they might live a righteous life.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			Well alhamdulillah,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			I would like to remind you all, SubhanAllah,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			that I'm not inviting you to celebrate Christmas.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			I'm inviting you to remember,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Isa ibn Maryam
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			to your neighbor, and don't make up a
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			story.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			Share with them, the beautiful story of Isa,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			as it is listed in the Quran.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			And let them decide as the people
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			who the prophet
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			sent his companions to Ethiopia,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			and when they met a just king, who
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			was giving sanctuary to them possibly,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			that Jafar read from the Quran,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			what is the story
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			of Isa ibn Mariam.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			And his heart was softened and he gave
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			safe haven to the believers.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			Insha'Allah,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			invite your neighbor by giving them the gift
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			of the Quran.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Assalamu alaikum
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			and happy holidays.
