Then as we said, He directs his son to that which is most
important. He says, do not love to Shrek bill, don't commit ship with
Allah meaning never associate anything or anyone with ALLAH
subhanaw taala in his in that, in his essence and his attributes is
too far in his actions on what is alone.
So he is the first lesson is the lesson of dark shade of Who is
Allah, and who is to be worshipped alone, to hate, first and
foremost, and that's the lesson for us. That's the most important
thing that we teach the most foundational belief, because
without this bedrock, there is no Dean, there is no o'clock there is
nothing, there is no success. So the first thing that Lokmanya
Islam wants his son to know is to know Allah above everything else,
and shook for our youngsters and for reminding ourselves is it
includes the belief that there are other beings that have part in
divinity, like some other faiths believe there are partners with
Allah subhanaw taala. And short is the ultimate peak of injustice of
volume.
Because it by shirk, it negates the fifth amount of Islam, of
Islam of Muslims.
And Allah subhanaw taala calls it ship Lavon mon are them indeed,
it's the ultimate of volume one means injustice of them, the worst
of all acts of oppression, the greatest injustice, that Allah the
One who created you, who sustains the entire universe and everything
within it.
This person does wrong by denying or putting partners with Allah
subhanaw taala not only that, he exposes himself or herself to the
punishment of Allah subhana his anger.
And if you look,
sugar, gratitude and Schilke have the same three alphabets just the
order changes, we change the order from sugar, you can go into shake,
they are actually opposite of each other. Okay, this is the beauty of
this language. So
these days, we have to be careful we consider Sheikh as Oh, I don't
worship idols. I don't do this. I don't have a gold golden calf that
I'm worshiping. But there are other forms of shirk. Which is
called the hidden ship, ship coffee, or surreal. Nothing severe
about it, but it's hidden. What does ship what is that? And this
is what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said in
a hadith he said, I'm not concerned from my own mother, they
will be worshipping idols, they'll be doing major shake. I'm
concerned about the huffy shake, what is this? So they asked him
jasola What is this, he said, he gave an example. He said, a person
who is doing a Salah is worshiping Allah, then he becomes aware that
there is someone else who comes in there and the quality of his Salah
improves,
he starts reciting beautifully better horseshoe and his sujood
improves, his Roku improves and it looks like oh, what a pious person
and the salah quality changed by the president he said this
coefficient because in the act of EBA it changed because of the
presence of someone other than Allah because Allah was always in
front of him. So he gave us an example.
So,
we have to remember that Allah subhanaw taala is tidy up he is
pure and he accepts only that which is pure any little shake in
it, it becomes a sin instead of a good deed. So when this command
comes lot to Shrek Biller, don't commit shirk, it includes all
forms of hidden ship,
the failure even to acknowledge in our hearts or by our words, that
everything the doer the enabler is of everything. It's a loss.
Sometimes we start appreciating ourselves or achievement, look at
the three points that I threw from halfcourt right simple thing i
What is the statistical probability of a coin and if it
went
okay, I landed this job, I got this and I was so might come come
loud in my class and whatever it is. Similarly, having concerns
about provision
I lost my job where am I going to eat? It's a form of hidden shake.
Because we have just denied the Rezac is Allah you thought your
job
well my husband lost his job now what's going to happen? I think
it's gonna happen. Risk will come from Southern meats. Maybe he'll
get another job maybe even not get a job usually. So, we have to know
that there are other forms of shirk. And Allah subhanaw taala
calls this low volume on or the Amazon means injustice. And the
prophets of Allah Hassan said Vaughn in this dunya will lead to
volume at which means dark multiple darkness is in the
hereafter.
Next to IRS is 14 and 15 We will take together or was sinolinking
Santa be valley that he hemella to Amma one and Allah pneumophila
salehoo fee Amen inish could leave anyone in LA animal safe. First,
the 15th Daya we're in Jaha Dhaka Allah and to Sharika be Melissa la
cabeza here in for Allah to their Houma Warsaw Haibo Houma fifth
dunya ma rufa what sabe llaman, Inaba, LA, so my lair, Mirage,
welcome. So Nabil can be marking time alone. Last one Allah says,
and we have commanded people to honor their parents.
Listen carefully, don't fall asleep on me now children.
We have commanded people to honor their parents, then he says, their
mothers bore them through weakness and hardship upon hardship, and
they winning takes two years. So be grateful to me, Allah and your
parents
joined the burdens with him.
And then he says to me is your final return that's like a
warning. That means you will be asked about how you treated your
purpose. And the second I
can really break it down a little bit. But if they strive your, your
parents and pressure you to associate with me in other words
to commit shirk, what you have no knowledge of, then do not obey
them.
But still listen to this still keep that company in this world
with courtesy and honor.
And but follow the way of those who turn to Me in devotion, then
to me, you will all return and then I will inform you of what you
used to do.
So Allah subhanaw taala himself here, he supplements the advice of
Lokmanya Allah Salam, by highlighting the status of the
parents, the father is giving this advice. What is the father in
general terms? Okay?
So, because somebody might say, well, this is all the advice to
the child, this is a child's rights. What about parental
rights? What are our rights, Allah smart Allah Himself puts the
parental rights here by mentioning in the same higher the parental
rights of honoring them, respecting them, and being
grateful to your parents as Allah subhanaw taala says, and by
joining them makes it in the most important aspect of Islam, which
is worshiping Allah alone. Then he highlights the extreme importance
in Islam of kindness, honor, respect and gratitude to the
parents in the same verse.
Last time, we mentioned this briefly, one of our great
commentators say then Abdullah Agni, Mastro there are the Allah
one
from whom all Hanafi madhhab comes said that Allah has paired certain
things in the Quran. As we said last time, Salah and Zakka are
paired they come together.
I think Artheon loughgiel Russell, obey Allah obey the messenger. And
he said, worshiping Allah and being good to your parents have
been paired because it comes in more than one place.
And we can add Allah subhanaw taala as per Iman with Mo Salah
also.
Now,
there are fathers here who might say, I'm a parent, why is it that
Allah subhanaw taala only mentions the mothers.
He doesn't mention the father here.
Allah subhanaw taala mentions the sacrifices and difficulties of the
mother only because they go through difficulties and suffering
in carrying the child delivering the child and nursing the child
during the most vulnerable state of helplessness. for two more
years,
and this greater contribution, the mother is doing much more.
Okay, the father has nothing to do with first nine months nothing to
do with it. After that he might even help
little bit in changing diapers, but that's it. Okay, so this
greater contribution of the mother occurs at a time and a stage where
our cognition
and our memory have not fully developed.
So we don't remember all of the sacrifices that the mother did.
And therefore, many of us don't recognize and acknowledge these
favors. However, the father's favors and contributions are
easier to recognize. And remember, because they come, when we have
developed some memory and some recognition my father gave me
this, my father bought me a bicycle, my father took me
fishing, you know, so on so forth, and whatever it is, therefore, it
is easier to remember those, Allah subhanaw taala in this powerful
way reminds us all
of the mothers favors lest we forget.
And that's why if you remember, in the Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu, alayhi wasallam when somebody asked him who has the
greatest right on you, he said amok, Amok three times.
Three times the mother, okay. So
as they say, in today's lingo, mothers get top billing, for good
reason. Right.
And, of course, there are a hadith to the effect that paradise lies
below, under the feet of your mothers. In other words, if you
use the way you serve them, you can achieve paradise through them.
Just remember,
especially in the moments when you're upset with your parents,
they're not letting me do what I want, they won't get me what I
want, and so on so forth.
That if it was not for our parents, their sacrifices, their
forbearance, we would not have been born in this world.
Because Allah subhanaw taala chose them to be the means of our coming
into this dunya. Allah smart Allah chose our parents for us. It is
through our parents, that we are fed, that we are protected, that
we are loved, that we are nurtured, that we are educated
that we are clothed, and most importantly, connected to Allah
subhanaw taala, from the time of infancy till we become mature,
and therefore Allah demands he commands, gratitude and respect
for the parents from the children.
Of course, we all know that last month, Allah is the Creator, the
sole, original reason for existence. So our first allegiance
is to him alone. Hence Allah has swapped Allah says, for school,
Lee, thank me, when we validate you, and your parents, your two
parents in the same I thank me and thank you parents. So last month,
Allah has mentioned and defended parental rights by himself.
And then he reminds us that we will return to Him and Allah will
ask us about our treatment of our burdens. And how does the honoring
of the parents start just at a basic level is how we address how
we respond to our parents. And that includes body language. The
parent says something
that's what I say, What are you doing? I didn't say anything. Yes,
you said a lot. You said a lot by your expression. Allah Subhana
Allah says elsewhere in the in the Quran that even if your parents
become unreasonable, reasonable in their old age, dementia, don't
even say what
if you can say that, off means just impatience, and everything
beyond that is also forbidden. So Allah subhanaw taala tells us that
we have to be careful with our tongues or body language,
especially in a moment when we are upset.
Or sold on muscle. OLALIA Salam said, Read our rugby theory the
valid was SOHCAHTOA rugby visa invalid, which means the pleasure
of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parents. And the displeasure
of the Lord isn't the displeasure of the parents every time you
displeased your parents you displeased Allah. Every time you
please your parents you please Allah.
How easy is that? Please your parents you please Allah.
So
just doing what comes naturally being good to your parents will
increase Allah Swaddlers pleasure and blessing upon you.
And
the best way to show gratitude for your parents have is to walk the
path of Islam
My parents, Keith, me left me with this. Because most of us here, all
of us here are born into Islam. It's not like we are born
elsewhere, and Allah guided us.
Now there are some 50 rulings that are derived from this ayah. Very
interesting.
I'm going to skip them right now, if we have time in the end.
You remind me and we will go over it. The next is some parents. Some
children might say, What, and this is very real today. What if my
parents are not good? They're evil, they're into drugs, they're
abusive. They drink all of that. Why should they be honored? So
that's what Allah has mentioned in that second area, we're in
Tjahaja, Allah and to Sharika be melesa can be healing for laughter
time. Allah subhanaw taala says, even if they go to the extent of
taking you out of the out of my worship into shirk, said don't do
that. But what should you do?
Was Sahiba who Moffitt dunya Ma,
Allah subhanaw taala says, do not accept what is wrong from them in
matters that lead to disobedience from Allah subhanaw taala because
the prophets Allah, Lord Islam teaches you said, law that in
Luffy, Marcia and Holly, that there is no obedience to the
creation that involves disobedience of the kindness of
Allah subhanaw taala So, there is no such thing. But beyond that was
Sahiba Hama fit dunya ma rofa. In this dunya Allah subhanaw taala
says, Sahil be, give them companionship of goodness, be
there for them, treat them even if they're like that. Even if they're
abusive, be kind to them. Sahiba Sama means not calling once a
year, Mother's Day Father's Day. Sahaba means frequently visiting
them being with them. Sahiba Houma both of them fit dunya as long as
they are alive, because in the market if they are like that you
will be separated.
Okay, but Allah Subhana Allah says in this dunya you be good to them.
Now, if you remember, in the early stages, this is a makan Surah as
we said that some of the companions of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam faced strong opposition from their
parents. They were tired, they were imprisoned, they were beaten
they were tortured leave Islam.
At that stage Allah subhanaw taala told them Be good to your parents
even with that.
And this is also illustrated the kindness and virtue and and
respect in the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam and his father Aza
Ibrahim Ali Salam is inviting him to the to the right thing and
other is saying that
get out of here I'm going to stone you know he says salaam to m&s
because he is being expelled. So even in that
we show them respect but Allah subhanaw taala says
for Tibet Sevilla mon anomaly but in terms of following don't follow
that wrong way they're taking you obey those who work. Seville of
Allah spawn the bountiful miso walk the path of those who have
chosen to obey Allah. And what does this teach us the importance
of good companionship, good friends we choose we should choose
those who are walking the path through a mosque otherwise we will
easily be led astray
by a number 16 Then he says you're gonna you're in. In Tacoma Carl
Hubbardton Minh heard that in photography Socrates office Somoto
Falon. Yet tv Hello in Milan, not a fun hobby. Oh my dear son.
Even if there is a deed which is the weight weight of a mustard
seed, rather than iron, that little thing
that is in a bowl in a rock and aboard a Sahara large rock in a
border anywhere in the universe on the earth.
Yet TB, Allah will bring it out.
Bring it out means in the dunya you may choose to expose it what
you did or what you say. But certainly in the Afra it will be
brought out for questioning on his hub.
What is it saying? It is saying that nothing is hidden from Allah
subhanaw taala even if it is that small, this is the example that's
given. So look man, Ali Salam is building on the heels of Allah
subhanaw taala by teaching the attributes, the sufferings of
Allah subhanaw taala to make him understand that there is the
concept of accountability. You're accountable for what
He was saying you do.
And that every action and word has consequences, some things, there
is a result to that. Good, especially if the action is not
good.
So
he's saying that, even if it's a matter that seems insignificant to
you, it's small. I'll think about it.
If there is a tiny little speck, and it's in a rock, how can you
and I bring it out of there and find it,
reflect on this example.
Suppose there's a huge rock, the size of justice room, and there is
this grain,
something as small as that, how can you bring it out, you split it
into, it may not be seen split, you have to pulverize and make it
into a pile of powder that is smaller than that grain, then only
to see how difficult it is for us, yet for Allah, it is all known,
because Allah knows whether we accept it or not, every action,
every word, every relationship, every thought,
the past, what was the present, what is the future, what will be
in the future, that could have been, but will never be
all of that is known to Allah, nothing is hidden, this is what
you and I have done, nothing is hidden from Allah subhanaw taala.
So, we have to reflect on this and he says, anywhere in the universe,
if it was online, or was it telling his son and telling us
what is the power and precision of Allah subhanaw taala that he will
make it known in this dunya and in the author it will come out. So
what should we do? What do we learn from this,
that we should be mindful of Allah subhanaw taala at all times,
what is called the state of sun, which means that you see Allah
subhanaw taala in front of you. And since you can see him he sees
it in the terms of, of the sub woofer of dusky here it is called
maraca because
Allah subhanaw taala is a recipe but one of his name is rapid means
ever watchful. So maraca is in the process of dusky of knifes is that
it's critical that we always remain in an inner state of
awareness of ourselves, not just of our actions, what am I doing?
What I'm saying, but what kind of thoughts are in my heart,
monitoring my heart? What thoughts enter, what is entertained, what
is rejected? And then what emanates of actions and words as a
result of what is going on the conversations inside my own.
Allies watching, I need to be watchful
