00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:46
			The divorce rate in the world is at its highest.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:56
			Every 26 seconds in the United States of America, there is a divorce, one divorce
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			in America.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:14
			Muslims are also affected by that every two minutes and 55 seconds in Egypt. There is a divorce
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			a case.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			There are children who are born into this world
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			don't know their parents don't know their fathers.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:43
			I have somebody who runs a daycare in Virginia. He tells me as 25 kids in that daycare 13 of them
don't know their fathers.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			Now
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			*,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			domestic violence.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:02
			So I'm sorry, I can't hear you haven't seen me in a long time. But today happens to be February 14.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			Valentine. So Valentine is not really working.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:19
			That concept of a relationship between a man and a woman. Now it can actually be taken beyond that
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			is not that
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			the concept of love
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			in Islam is totally different.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			Love is an emotional inclination towards somebody.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:47
			Now, this can be triggered or motivated by their character.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:57
			their appearance, or their sexual revealing. Like he's muscular she is wearing this.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			That's one type of love.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			But let me begin with this.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			When Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was asked
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			by us,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:24
			who do you love most our messenger of Allah. He said, I love your love. And
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:32
			so love is there. There is love in our lives. This could happen.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:47
			Now, imagine this brothers and sisters in Islam. I Isha. She married the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam. Three years after the death of her deja
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			hajiya deja vu LaWanda
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			was the only one wife during her life. I she says bye
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			Allah, I have never felt jealousy towards another woman, the prophet was married to other women at
the time, my jealousy from Khadija.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			So where is her region?
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			Where is her deja deja is dead three years ago. But yet
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:28
			she is jealous of a dead woman. Just to show you
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:57
			that the age difference and you can imagine what the age difference when we evolve age wise, our
appearance changes our finger changes, we will not the same anymore. Imagine the age difference
between the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And Khadija was significant that 15 years we don't
have an evidence, but we know it was a significant age difference between the two.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:06
			Yet the Prophet sallallahu wasallam still had the love for her, even after her death.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:29
			Now, this particular conversation between Asia and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will
introduce to you the concept of love in Islam, how does it work? One day, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam on artificial and Evita would one day the Prophet was sitting with Arash
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:37
			Khadija used to have a sister, whose name is Helen.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			That's her name.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:46
			And she used to have a voice at denticle to the voice of Khadija.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:02
			So one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is sitting with Ayesha inside and he heard the
voice of Halla outside the room. Look what he said for Talia salty Ha.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			You know what that means?
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			Call her employees. The sister of her region.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			See that reaction? Tell you don't control?
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:15
			No.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			You know what, what I should know.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			What's wrong with you?
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:52
			Hamra should carry me she was older than you her key falling down. Of course, we need to understand
the position of Ayesha here. So don't go against Asia. No, no. She's a wife. That's the test. She
found out that her husband, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who assume that he is in love
with her still thinking about a dead woman that you need to understand her position here.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:23
			She is dead. Abdullah Kala Hiram minha. Allah subhana wa Taala has replaced you better than her. Why
are you talking about her? Here it is. This is the line that I want you to go home with brothers and
sisters in Islam from this football. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to Asia, East
Asia, la cada Rosie to obey her. Her love
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			was placed in my heart
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			and hopefully Islam.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			This is loving Islam.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:42
			That when you love somebody, because there is no brothers and sisters in Islam and your buddies,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			you have no control over.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			You don't control
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:27
			the heart. And I'm talking about the spiritual heart. Not the medical heart, the spiritual. You
don't control the thought. Kala sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Kaluga Benny Adam, Bina aasbo Amy Min
asabe era man eukanuba Keisha indeed the hearts of the children of Adam are pleased to have Allah
His fingers and don't visualize the lies fingers just say Subhana Allah and if the shaitaan plays
with your head, get you to visualize fingers of Allah Subhana Allah because Allah is above that cool
lumada vivatic follow the philosophy that
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:36
			this is something that Allah does. The love. So it this pie which Valentine,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:46
			bollywood, Hollywood, bro mood. This type is called lust for love.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:52
			Love, it's a love, but last fall it has to do with the last delusional
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			It ends in bed
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			if I am cold, it is
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			Ah, and that's a very dangerous thing if it gets to you. We read some biographies of people who used
to be like Antonio and Cleopatra, he's willing to give up being a king, just to go for a woman
because of that loss for love. This is the time they want brothers and sisters in Islam. And this is
the type
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:49
			which use of Allah Salatu was Salam found himself facing one day, the first lady in Egypt. In surah.
Yousuf Yousuf was extremely good looking, beautiful man. Kala sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Look at
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			our route here, you sufu one
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:02
			shot, Roger, Noctiluca imagine use of was given half of the beauty of the creation.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			But this lady supposed to be his foster mother,
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:13
			when when her husband brought us home from the slave market
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:21
			will call a lady Stata whom Mr. Oliveira at a creamy mouth wha hoo. As a foreigner.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:33
			He defined the relationship between his wife and use of a mother son relationship, but again,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:45
			oh, last for love came in. Imagine when the word got out. We'll call a nice word to him. Phil
Medina, TIMA, Aquila, zz Torah.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:56
			Goddess Chava ha ha hopper. Imagine the first lady is said using her sleeve, and her sleeve turned
her down.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:47
			She's willing to do that, because of that last follow up. And that's the tie. You don't want
brothers and sisters in Islam. And this subject is in a way in our Muslim communities is a taboo
like they call you have children who are teen aging, and you're supposed to talk to them about this
stuff, but nobody does. Because it's there. It's something that is we're born with brothers and
sisters in Islam. A relationship between a man and a woman is to be defined in marriage. There is no
such a thing called love your Valentine case you go to bed together and then we get married. We
don't have this in Islam, brothers and sisters in Islam. When the scholars listed v five holistic
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			aims objectives of this religion
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:07
			be Samudra Hama Casa de Sharia. Imagine every do and do not do in Islam is to serve five aims five
thing is to pour into the protection. Number one of the religion
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			your religion,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			don't dare compromise your religion.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			Don't because this is why Allah created you.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:30
			This is the purpose of your creation, call it Allah Allah says wanna holla to Jean our insert al le
Abu imagine you living in this world
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			are not worshipping Allah.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:53
			You're a man without a purpose, to the protection of the human life killing, taking the life of
another human being and just leave without adjust calls. Number three, which is relevant to
Valentine, which is relevant to my subject, I look how they call it.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			Three names, the protection of the progeny.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			The protection of the lineage
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			and the protection of the honor.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:22
			Have Vanessa have oneness? hefele the only aim which has three names, because these three names are
men. What do you mean lineage? What do you mean? progeny? What does it mean progeny.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:35
			You see, and this is why a lot of people don't understand why Islam and religions in general, stand
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			firm.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:45
			Even if the whole world changing, stand firm in the face of LBGT. Why MZL?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:59
			Why? Because May Allah forbid. But imagine if this is the scenario here. This is the most awful
scenario. Imagine if every one of us becomes this the same gender
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			thing, what is going to happen to the race of Aram?
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			What is going to happen?
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			I was looking at the news the other day.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:41
			And, you know, the Prime Minister of Italy was complaining to his citizens saying, guys, you're not
having enough babies. I just watched this yesterday, he was talking to the people who don't have
enough babies, what's going on with you? They want to have children because a lot of responsibility.
Imagine the Italian Prime Minister complaining about not having enough children. That means our race
is gonna Imagine if we're gonna go saying gender now. What is Adam? It's gonna take 4050 years for
us
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:51
			to vanish, that's why we're there. So have a look at this, that approach and he also look at Islam.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:16:16
			A child, an infant is in title to be born into a house where there is a man and a woman called the
husband and a wife. That's the right of the child. Why do you take the right of the child away? And
and you go and you sleep somewhere with somebody on Valentine getting drunk, and you sleep with
somebody in Valentine? Oh, I'm
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:21
			pregnant. I'm pregnant. I'm having a baby. I don't know you.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:37
			Why you're infringing the right. You're you're you're transgressing against the progeny that pro
honor. Honor. That's why it is one of the conditions for the validity of a marriage contract is the
consent of
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			our lead. Imagine this
		
00:16:42 --> 00:17:14
			a human law to Nebuchadnezzar, the newly falaka who has kochava Bothell Burton, any woman who goes
and he gives herself in marriage without the consent of her father. Her marriage is invalid is
adultery. The contract is invalid. Why? Because it's the honor of the husband. How would you like to
find out? Oh, Daddy, I got married last week. Oh, really? Oh, wonderful.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:21
			What is the honor of this man? The brothers and sisters in Islam
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:29
			any other want to take over my time here I'm looking at the clock. Any civilization?
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:31
			Any?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			What is the word here?
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			Any Renaissance?
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			any nation
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:47
			for you to advance to move forward and keep going.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			You must have two fronts
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:57
			to sustain to keep going. Number one, the knowledge
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:25
			the technology the iPhone 1112 1314 the Mac Yeah, you need that. Look at the story where I lay my
MLS akula look at the first story, a laptop Adam the names of things. But there is another front
which can bring that civilization down, which is the moral front.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:32
			We see in our world in America. As we go up with technology, what is going down
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			and read history
		
00:18:37 --> 00:19:27
			or even have Vitaly has a beautiful statement is steady. Dima lamea Khun Bhima can for in the
Moorish development. History repeats itself. That's the English version of that. Look at the Roman
Empire. What brought them down. Look at the Greek, not the iPhone, not that acknowledges the
morality. That's why me a new we come to the United States of America. And I can tell a lot of you
are immigrants like myself, to benefit from this community. We are to give them the salvation and
the salvation is in Islam. If you want to help America, in Islam is being a Muslim, a devout Muslim
marriage, the way of Islam Love the Way of Islam, not the Valentine. If you go and do the Valentine,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			you're contributing
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			and you're being a hypocrite I'm sorry
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			because you have something better to offer them.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			wa will humble hussen what Sunnah Jamil
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:16
			what Shadwell ilaha illallah wa ala sharika yaku haka bajo de surreal
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			y shadow Anna Mohammedan Abu Rasulullah
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			sallallahu alayhi. Wa early he was hired he was well
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			while Amanita homea son in Isla de
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:49
			migrated from Mecca to Medina to establish the first Muslim community ever known in the face of this
earth.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			He did two things.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			He did two things.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			Number one, he built the machine.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:01
			Why?
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			Because the most important relationship you have is with a law
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			to connect you with Allah.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:13
			The Masjid
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			and the second thing that he did
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			he made people
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			become brothers.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			Love one another.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:32
			Ever heard that? I'm still connecting this to Valentine. I haven't changed the subject.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:38
			But have you ever heard I love you for the sake of Allah.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			I love you. I love you because you're a Muslim.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			I love you because you're a Muslim. He did that.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:22:15
			Imagine it's the first type of hegira that you can think of people now when people migrate from
their countries to their place, they are afraid they're going to take away their bread. They're
going to take away their earnings. Oh, the refugees are coming they're going to take away my jobs
emerging. Imagine when you go to Medina, as an immigrant, you get half half
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:26
			of the roadmap now took Saudi Arabia said take half and here is my wife I have more than one wife
and be careful here when you explain that to non Muslim you should say that
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			I'm willing to divorce one of them and if she chooses,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:40
			like we said our father has to be consented also the girl has to be consented or the wife has to be
consented. If she chooses to marry you, she's yours.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			That imagine that machines
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			what happened to us brothers and sisters in Islam? What happened to our time?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			You know,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			I'm coming
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			you know to help out.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:07
			But I'm telling you, you can reduce the most fascinating by loose in the whole world.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			But if you don't have the hearts
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			the love one another for the sake of Allah
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			serving the cause of Allah
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			anything can be manipulated the Koran is can be manipulated.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:34
			Did you know that? When when olive oil if sent Abdullah hobnob bass, viola Juan Houma to debate with
our rich
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:42
			you know what he said to him? Jay dill homebase be sooner the bay use the sun for in the Quran.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			The Quran can be manipulated,
		
00:23:47 --> 00:24:38
			can be taken out of context. Even Fox News say kill the infidels. What do you find them? That's what
you call manipulation of the text. But the first doesn't say that. It doesn't mean that at all. It's
confined to a certain criteria a certain time for the point here. If that love for the sake of a law
is not there in our lives as a Muslim woman. No set of bylaws will solve your problems. So for you
brothers and sisters in Islam, to make a change. Let's go back to the deen. Let's go back to
understanding our religion and love one another for the sake of Allah. Imagine the Prophet salallahu
alaihe salam and I want to close with this My time is almost up here. And hadith of Raja Halima
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:54
			Muslim Hadith vihara Allah Viola when he says, By the one in whose hand my soul is, well let enough
CBN lend that the whole agenda you will not enter Jannah
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00
			unless you believe Hata to look at the next
