Saudi Arabia Siddeley, I'm wary of the term melissani Fo Kohli.
Allahumma Zina Halima wala to the Apollo been about a hadith and our
Hubble anomala Don Kaufman, I can tell you,
long after my Samiha alumina Lydic Rick,
we praise Allah subhanaw taala and we send the best of Salah and
Salam on our beloved noble Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
salam, his family and his companions were asked Allah
subhanaw taala to increase us in useful knowledge,
knowledge that makes us closer to him, give us the tofi to act on
that knowledge,
Camelon
and to open our hearts to receive the true meanings of his Calam his
words.
Allah's subhanaw taala
make what is said today, a means of success for us and our children
in this dunya and hereafter.
Shala we are going to continue Surah Lokman which we started last
week. And we have now come to Iowa number 12 And we are going to
insha Allah. Allah subhanaw taala enables us study from 12 to 19,
which is the advice of Lokmanya lay salaam to his son.
We briefly mentioned that Laquan al sol was not a messenger or a
prophet. But he was a man who lost $1 certified as being Hakeem
having Heckman wisdom, and we'll talk about that briefly. And that
he was of African descent probably in the area of Sudan, what was
called Nubia. He was Nubian between Ethiopia and Egypt in that
area. And he was a slave, but he was given wisdom. So Allah
subhanaw taala has named a whole chapter whole surah in the Quran
after him and has permanently recorded his conversation with his
son like we have with our children in the Quran.
So inshallah we'll start with iron number 12.
Allah subhanaw taala says, well, Tina look man and Hekmatyar and
your school Illa Well, my year school for in NEMA Yash curule
enough See, woman kufra for in Aloha Ghanaian Hamid first this
one. Allah subhanaw taala bestowed very special blessing on Lokmanya
salaam called hikma
says rough translation of this, and indeed We bestowed wisdom on
local man
and commanded him be grateful to Allah. For he who is grateful, is
only grateful for his own benefit. As for the one who is ungrateful,
then know that Allah is self sufficient, ever praised.
So firstly, we have to know that wisdom, if if we are wise in some
way, it is not something that we should be proud about because it's
not something that we earn or learn this is bestowed by Allah
subhanaw taala it's a blessing, like everything else like
intelligence and inner beauty and outer everything is from Allah
subhanaw taala.
So therefore, Allah subhanaw taala commands, the one who he calls, I
came
to be grateful to be in Chicago to understand this gratitude shocker
concept is going to come over and over again we are an Omaha
shocker, we should always be in chakra of Allah subhanaw taala.
And as we said before last time that the word hikma has been used
almost 20 different times in different ways in Iran to convey
wisdom, knowledge, reasoning, forbearance help patients sober.
The Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has been
called hokhmah and so on, so forth. So in brief hikma on is to
No knowledge and the intellect to understand and apply that
knowledge correctly by acting in a manner that leads to the greatest
benefit for all concern.
So it maximizes good goodness in every situation for everyone,
while acting within the commands of Allah subhanaw taala there is
no wisdom that violates the commands of Allah subhanaw taala.
And a person who is wise takes into consideration all the
consequences of an action, what the pros are, what the cons of
what's going to happen, and simply speaking hikma is to know, what to
say. When to say where to say, how much to say, and how to say it.
Okay, so what is it?
What to say, when to say it, where in what situation to say it, how
much to say,
and how to say it, that is wisdom.
And
the ultimate technique is to know the creator and the creation, and
to give each one its right in the proper way, in the correct
proportion, putting everything in its proper place and the peak of
hokhmah is to know and fear Allah subhanaw taala and be grateful to
him.
Therefore, in brief, Alhamdulillah is the height of wisdom.
And one of the wisest people mentioned in the Quran is our
father Ibrahim Alayhi. Salam.
And what does Allah subhanaw taala say about Ibrahim Alayhi salaam
Shakira Lin an AMI each the Bahu wha hoo illustrata mosta to Allah
subhanaw taala says Ibrahim shocking and was utterly grateful
for Allah's blessings. So Allah chose him and guided him to the
right path.
And Hikmah indeed is wisdom is indeed a great blessing because
Allah subhanaw taala says you can Hekmati Romania shall remain
neutral Hekmatyar forgot who to hire and cathedra Amaya Kuru Illa,
who don't feel bad, which means Allah guide gives Hekmati who he
wants as he wants, and whoever has been given hokhmah has been indeed
granted an abundance of good he has been blessed with a great
privilege. But none realize this except people who have
understanding.
So where do we seek wisdom and Heckman there is an abundance of
ECMA in our treasure
trove of.
of the Quran, and the Sunnah, and the words of our sages or wise
people such as Luke monnalisa.
Look, monnalisa loves teaching us how to go about life in a
meaningful way that is beloved to Allah subhanaw taala by giving
these instructions to his son.
So Allah subhanaw taala granted him the gift of wisdom and
understanding based on the revealed scriptures that were
available to him at that time.
Because you will listen to the teaching of Salah and Tauheed and
you know, suffering, now en el Mancha, Hammurabi maruf all of
that. So, in light of His wisdom of worshipping Allah subhanaw
taala, in every aspect of his life, he gives this advice
and it is manifested in his chakra to Allah subhanaw taala. He
recognizes who Allah subhanaw taala is, he acknowledges the
SIFAT the attributes of Allah and His favors and shows gratitude by
using these favors in the right way. One of his favorites was
wisdom. So he uses his wisdom to convey a message to his children
and to all of mankind.
So, imagine, as we said, this is a man who was a slave in the dunya.
And yet, he is showing his gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala
even in that state, because he realizes what we say frequently in
the lie knowledge Roger we belong to Allah so He knows, even though
Allah has given control of my life and the dunya in some man's hand I
belong to Allah. He is my master. And indeed to Him, we will return.
So the first lesson for us is gratitude. Sugar. That's the first
lesson that we all have to learn. We cannot be complainers don't
complain about things of anything. 95 degrees today it will be 100
degrees tomorrow. hamdulillah Allah is telling us it's only 100
degrees. Do you know what the temperature in Hellfires see
Alhamdulillah Allah has given us the recipe to stay away from that
heat of hunger.
And it will also end rain will come one day. So we in a state of
gratitude, Allah subhanaw taala says whoever shows gratitude
does it for their own benefit because our gratitude does not
help Allah subhanaw taala in any way, Allah is in no need of a bed
of His servants.
If we all worshipped Him and OBEY them and showed gratitude, it's
not going to make Allah subhanaw taala any greater, and if all of
mankind became careful, ungrateful, it does not diminish
Allah subhanaw taala and anyway, so Allah subhanaw taala is saying,
he is a runny, runny means one who is free of all needs, three of all
things all people, he is above any needs, he is independent and only
Allah is a lot of money.
And he is a hermit, he is the one who is praised in and by himself.
In other words, if nobody praises him, he is still a Hamid, that's
part of his does not change. Okay? So Allah smart Allah saying that,
if you praise me and you show gratitude to me, it's for your
benefit, because you will get the reward of it.
So, again, reminder that we all need to be always grateful for
what we have, for the things we have the opportunities, we have
the relationships, we have the conditions that come our way,
material, spiritual, metaphysical. And also we need to be grateful
for what Allah has protected us from we don't know what kinds of
just yesterday two people were crossing the road and is tempted,
and they were killed.
How much protection how much Allah protects us that we don't know
we've been protected from some of us have experienced Hola Hola, de
where there was nothing. Allah's intervention came and you
experienced it to identify the union. So we should always be
thankful. And how do we show gratitude to Allah? How do we show
thankfulness by acknowledging his favorites and everything that we
possess, everything that we achieve, every talent that we
have, every success, we celebrate every meaningful relationship that
we are in, whether it's with our parents, with our children, with
our friends, with our spouses, or siblings. Everything is from
Allah, we show gratitude by thanking him by being just in all
of these relationships by using everything that Allah gives us in
a way that he intended for us to use it and that which pleases him.
And Allah subhanaw taala tells us that if we are grateful, what will
happen, he says,
well, then Arab Buccola in Shackleton, z the NACA
Indeed, Allah has announced, he has proclaimed that if you are
grateful, you showed thankfulness to Allah he will increase you in
his blessings. And the opposite was the Inca photo in Adobe Lucia
did and if you are ungrateful, you deny his favor. Just remember that
Allah's punishment is indeed severe.
Now, part of our gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala is to show
gratitude to people, such as our hosts today, such as the people
who are attending and so on, so forth, since the people are the
means that Allah uses to deliver his blessings to us, like our
parents, like our friends, like our teachers.
So the way this is structured, it is not exclusive. gratitude to
Allah means thank Allah and whatever else, whoever else needs
to be thanked.
And also Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam teaches us he says La Yeshe
Corolla manleigh Yash. Karuna was that the one who does not thank
people has not truly thanked Allah
because I'm not creates all of these means.
Now the advice of Lokmanya Allah salaam to his son, in his
gratitude and part of the gratitude of Lokmanya Allah Salam
is to convey to his son
as his inheritance, this wisdom of what you should he needs to do.
And so this advice is timeless in this
Something that we all need to study over and over again, my
session is a bit long, but it's still very brief compared to what
this deserves. And just imagine this advice of a slave to his son
is read by millions of people every single day in the world, and
will continue to be read till the Day of Judgment.
Look at the honor that Allah subhanaw taala, the real master
bestowed on his slave
it's just seven brief verses. Now, this is the nature of the wisdom,
there's the nature of the Quran, in a few words.
There are oceans of of, you know, to learn of information, not just
information of, of of true knowledge, and it has been
immortalized in this wise advice of Laquan and SLR.
There are 10 major components of this advice and from each of
those, there are far too many branches that you can take. And it
becomes much more elaborate if you go into that. And just remember
that this advice was given,
you know, few 1000 years ago, and it is still applicable, and can be
followed today, and to the day of judgment for any parent, wanting
to raise a child in the light of Islam. And if all the parents
implemented love Manolis alums advice, then they would be leaving
behind a beautiful legacy and their children.
And this is the best gift that a parent can give their child
and there is no need to worry about the fate of this child in
the hereafter. Because through this advice, they have been shown
the path to paradise.
Now, this is general advice and Allah smart Allah could have just
said that Lachman gave this advice. But he specifies without
naming him that he gave this advice to his son.
What does that teach us?
The parental responsibility
that there is a responsibility the children have rights, and there is
a responsibility of the parents to teach the children
and this is to remind us of the duties as parents, so that we may
not be negligent in this great responsibility. And how many of us
are guilty of this negligence?
Because we choose frequently, myself included, probably the
worst.
instead to focus on providing material things. Toys, play,
entertainment, this is what we spend. My child should have this
does he have the latest phone does he have this? Where does he watch
sport is playing where I'm taking him what he is, but we ignore a
lot of this now last month Allah forgive us and guide us
to the right way. Iron number 13
Here is where the words of look man starts Allah Subhana Allah
says what if what if color look man are living here? Who are you?
Who yeah buena de la to Shrek Billa in a Shipka Lavon Manabi
which means and remember when local man when if the Think of
what that means? Look man said to his son while he was advising.
Okay.
Yeah, are you though to give wild?
And he addressed him by saying, yeah, booni which is a term of
endearment meaning Oh, my dear son, the first piece of advice.
Join not in worship other than Allah.
Because Verily,
in joining
with joining others in worship with Allah is a great overlap.
So Allah subhanaw taala here, by starting it in this way, is,
again, drawing a verbal picture of us now imagine a father and a son,
a man and a child of certain age, perhaps walking together, perhaps
walking on the beach, perhaps walking somewhere or just sitting
together privately. Now imagine this bonding parents son and child
spending time with him.
When that child, he says is when that child means has become old
enough to understand
Hello, Lachman Elisa Lam gives him an age appropriate advice, okay,
something that he would understand.
So he's educating him in his counseling him is advising him
by his own words and his own actions. Lokmanya Allah Salam is
setting an example.
So he addresses his son as we said, Yeah, Brunei. Yeah, Buddha
is a very special term and in, in Arabic of extreme endearment, he
doesn't call him. Yeah, Hashem, yeah, Muhammad, whatever his name
was, he doesn't say, Yeah, I've been you're my son. Yeah, booni is
a special term of endearment, which literally means my dear
tender little son, the one who is has to, has to be taken care of
who needs my protective instincts.
And this is to make him feel even closer to him to to stress, that
familial bond between the father and the child and the closeness to
him. And by this address, he gains the attention of that child or my
father. You know, it's like he puts his arms around me and he's
telling me this, showing his love and concern that what he is going
to tell them is going to be for my benefit.
And
Allah subhanaw taala, and the Quran has recorded father and son
conversations elsewhere. For example, conversation between
Jacobo SLM and his son's specific conversation between Jacoba s&m
and use of Alesana. And what does Jacobo SLM address use? Well, SLR.
He says Carla Yeah, upon a lot of sort of, oh, my beloved Son, same
Yagoona don't tell the story to your brothers. But what you saw in
your dream.
Similarly, we have the story of Abraham Allah salaam, the words
and a smile a lesson I'm a father and son conversation. What is the
conversation? are like yeah, Boonie in a Phil Manami Omni Hoka
fund thermadata Oh, my beloved Son, I saw in my dream that I'm
sacrificing. Imagine first telling him Yagoona and telling him this,
and then what does he say?
Funds will matter. So tell me what you think.
He's not imposing it. But just so I would just want you to say that
these conversations that Allah has recorded, just imagine what is
being recorded of our conversations that we have had
with our children
what tones we have used, what words we have used, what we have
stressed.
Now last month, Allah forgive us.
So again, this one also implies that look, Monalisa chooses the
right time, the right moment, the right opportunity when he has his
attention to deliver the advice and not at a time where it might
be ignored or rejected. So child and we deal with that sometimes
you have a child, you want to tell them something and he is busy with
something else. He is not in the mood to listen. In fact, you might
ignore your he might even say no. So what is Heckman to present that
advice at that time? Postpone it for a better opportune moment.
Because it will be recorded. Do you want the angels to record for
your son that he says, No, I'm not going to do this. I don't care. Do
you want that recorded for your child?
Therefore, have Ramadan? The children when you see they're not
in that moment where they would be very receptive to something like
this.
Don't say it. That is fair in that
