The importance of love in Islam is highlighted, including the need for marriage and being a linchpin in one's life. A personal story about a man who killed his sister and put her in marriage is also discussed. The speaker emphasizes the need for acceptance of the Prophet sallama's message in Islam, which includes a woman who is supposed to be killed and put in marriage. Later, a woman named Rahim inspired a desire to have a child with the Prophet sallama, who eventually talks to her son's mother and wants to have a child with her.

			Brothers and sisters in Islam as salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			My dear daughters, and sisters,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			we all talk about
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:37
			love.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			And when you're brought up in an environment,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:51
			soap operas, movies, they always talk to you about a love story between a man and a woman.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:05
			And normally the story would end like, they married one another. And then they lived happily ever
after.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:14
			My sister's, my daughter's. That is not the case. They never show you what happens after marriage.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			Marriage is a test. Marriage is an institution.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Marriage is a project.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			You want a good partner.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			You want a quality partner.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			And that quality partner is a righteous man.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:45
			There is no harm in marrying a rich, handsome, prestigious, good family man. But these are not the
criterias
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			my sisters in Islam,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			they are old was shared with us.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:06
			Beautiful love stories between Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Antonio, and others, so many names in
different cultures.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:13
			But you want to know the best love story I ever read.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			I ever learned.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:24
			The best love story in the whole world was between a man
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			and a woman.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			The woman was 15 years older than him.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			I'm talking about Khadija and Muhammad
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			Ayesha Viola Juana, brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:55
			She made that statement and she said, I have never been jealous from the living wives of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam more than I'm jealous of Khadija.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			Khadija is dead.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			Khadija is not alive.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:15
			And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with mentioned her, I can tell how much excited he
is about her. Her deja used to have a sister Her name is Hannah.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:25
			And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would hear the voice of Allah outside he would say
Allahu Allah, this is hella get me holla
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:38
			and when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would slaughter a sheep, he would make sure that he
tells his wife, make sure that you give some of the cheap to the Friends of Khadija.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			Ilana would say Why are you doing this to her deja hombre?
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:58
			She had no teeth. When Allah subhanho wa Taala replaced her with better women better wives like
myself.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:11
			Here is the statement that I'm looking for brothers and sisters in Islam. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam kills eyeshadow Viola Rhonda, Aisha lacquered Rosa to Hawa
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			her love, her love
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			was placed in my heart.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			You see, these hearts are not in our hands.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			Obey Allah and Allah will make you love your husband.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is showing the oma that the love comes from Allah.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			If you obey Allah,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			Allah will make you love your husband
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			and will make your husband loves you.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			I'll share with you a real life story that happened at our time.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			A man
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			who went to the moon
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			worked in the Gulf countries, and Emirates for years. 20 years, very poor to begin with, he became
wealthy.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:14
			His father was a very righteous man. He used to be the Imam. This is the real life story is not a
sci fi.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:23
			So, the man after accumulating all his wealth, he sent to his father, my father, I want to get
married.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:32
			A lot of the years passed by without getting married. Now it's the time and I want you to choose a
life for me.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:48
			And I want you to go ahead and put the marriage contract together. And I want to go into the actual
marriage. The wedding day, I want it to be the day that I arrived, and I don't want to see her.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			This is how much trust this man this young man had in his father.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:21
			Of course, a righteous man knows that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a woman is asked
in marriage for four reasons. Both beauty lineage and the deen. You better go for the deen. He chose
in a quality religious women wife for his son. But yet her physical appearance was not the best.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:38
			The son arrives to Egypt. At the airport, he is backed up. And he is taken to his wife, who was
wearing a veil. And then basically he got into the room with her alone.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			As soon as she unveiled herself.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			He became shocked.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			He became shocked.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			This is the wife that my father chose for me.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			She's not beautiful.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:05
			She's not beautiful. He became so depressed here I am coming after all these years. So excited, so
excited.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			He became so depressed.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			So he slept
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			towards the last third of the night. The wife
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			who understood that the action of the husband.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			She tried to wake him up. He refused. She tried again. He refused.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			And then she sprinkled water on him
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			to wake him up.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			So he waked up.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:47
			And she spoke to him. And she said, I know how much disappointed you are. And I understand I'm not
beautiful. But you know what?
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			I wished to get married. For one reason.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:03
			I wanted to implement the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When he said, Rahim,
Allah whom are juhlin
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			may Allah have mercy on a man who wakes up to pray at night.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			And then he would wake up his wife. And if she does not wake up
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:39
			navaja Allah, Allah, he would sprinkle water on her to wake up. And this is the segment that she
wanted to implement was Rahim Allah hombre? A wife and May Allah Subhana Allah have mercy on a woman
grant His mercy to a wife who wakes up to pray to head up at night.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			And she wakes her husband up to pray with her
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			and if he does not wake up
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			she sprinkles water in him
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			one law he
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			I'm so grateful to you.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:07
			That you granted me that wish. I wanted to implement that Hadith so much and I was a little bit
hopeless that I will get married because I know I'm not beautiful.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			Can you please now fulfill the rest of this howdy with me?
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			Can you wake up
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			and just lead me in Salah. Break the hatchet with me.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			He waked up
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			and he led her in Salah
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:34
			brothers and sisters in Islam. This man swears by Allah.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:49
			That as soon as he ended his dad Jude leading her and Salah. I looked at her as if I'm looking at
the most beautiful women in this world.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			That's the way it goes.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			Don't be deceived by all these soap operas and movies.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:09
			Love gets to the heart because of Allah. Allah can make you love your husband, but you and your
husband obey Allah.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			lead your wives in Salah. Have your husbands lead you in Salah at night.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			Family brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			They have grandchildren who memorize the Quran
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:34
			and they are students of knowledge. And some of them are about to be scholars of this oma
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:52
			Don't compromise nor test the commands of Allah. If you want to live happily like they say in the
movie ever after. Marriage is a tough institution.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:02
			enough that shaitaan everyday places the crown on the head of a shaitan who separates a husband and
wife.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			You need a good partner for the mission
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			and the quality that you must seek
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			righteousness and piety.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			And if you do, you will get the best of this dunya
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:31
			and be in the light Allah. You will be with your reformed husband and reformed wife as virgin Mata
