Allahu Allah Farrakhan piggy Muhammadan sadaqa Lamine Alma,
author Ramadan Nila Alameen wa ala Aalihi Have you been to hearing
allows hubby he already Miami? Woman Tabia home son in law
biomethane Aloha McDonough Minho. I mean, Frobisher, actually Saudi
Arabia Sidley Emery, of the Tamil assignee of Coco Kohli.
Allahumma Zina Halima wala to the Apollo been about a hadith and our
Hubble anomala Don Kaufman, I can't tell you how
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
sallam, 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,
Amazon
and to open our hearts to receive the true meanings of his Calam his
words
allostery subhanaw taala
make what is said today, a means of success for us and our children
in this dunya and hereafter.
sha Allah we are going to continue Surah Lokman which we started last
week. And we have now come to iron 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 at a salon was not a messenger or
a prophet. But he was a man who lost $1 certified as being Hakim
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 on
your school Illa where my year school for in nama yesh cruel
enough See, woman kufra for in Aloha Ghanaian Hamid. First this
one. Allah subhanaw taala bestowed very special blessing on Lokmanya
salaam, called Hickman
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 earned 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
Hakeem
to be grateful to be in Chicago to Allah smarter this gratitude Shaka
concept is going to come over and over again we are an Omar chakra,
we should always be in chakra of Allah subhanaw taala.
And as we said before last time that the word hikmah has been used
almost 20 different times in different ways in Iran, to convey
wisdom, knowledge, reasoning, forbearance help patients subber
the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has been
called hokhmah and so on, so forth. So in brief, hikma on is
two
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, were 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 feel 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 Mustafi 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 hokhmah indeed is wisdom is indeed a great blessing because
Allah subhanaw taala says you till Hickmott amania chef will mean you
shall Hekmatyar forgot who to hire and cathedra Rama yet 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's 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
hikma in our treasure
trove of.
of the Quran, and the Sunnah, and the words, of our sages are wise
people such as look Monalisa.
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 Hammermill 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 nearly 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, either
Long 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 cheat and humbling.
And it will also end rain will come one day. So we are 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 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 Kalani
and his al Hamid 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 you.
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
you know, just yesterday, two people were crossing the road and
is tempted, and they were killed by a car. 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, you
identified your union. So we should always be thankful. And how
do we show gratitude to Allah? How do we show thankfulness by
acknowledging his favorites in 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 rob Buccola Bukola 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 farto. 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, okay. 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 Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam teaches us he says La Yeshe
Corolla mon la Yash Coronas 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 and 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 Islam.
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 Monalisa lambs advice, then they would be leaving
behind a beautiful legacy in 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've 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?
importance, 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
instinct 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 What
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. I are number 13.
Here is where the the words of look man starts Allah Subhana
Allah says what is what is the 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, Brunei, 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 in means has become old
enough to understand
Hello. Look monoliths Salam 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. Brene 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 mean, 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 Oh, 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 Jaco
Bella Salaam and his son's specific conversation between
Jacoba SNM, and use of Alesana. And what does Jacobo SLM address
useable SLR? He says Carla, yeah, when 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 Ibrahim alayhis salam, the words
and a smile I listed I'm a father and son conversation. What is the
conversation? Carla? Yeah, Brene in the field Manami Hoka fund
thermadata Oh, my beloved Son, I saw in my dream that I'm
sacrificing you 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, man, Alyssa lamb
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 as a 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 that a square in that.
Then as we said, He directs his son to that which is most
important, he says, do not like to shrink build, don't commit ship
with Allah meaning never associate anything or anyone with ALLAH
subhanaw taala. In his in his that, in his essence, in his
attributes is too far in his actions. Allah is alone.
So he is the first lesson is a lesson of dark shade of Who is
Allah? And who is to be worshipped alone, to hate first and foremost,
and that's a 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 shake 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 that there are partners
with Allah smart Allah. And ship is the ultimate peak of injustice
of volume.
Because it by Shirke 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 a volume one means injustice of them, the worst
of all acts of oppression, the greatest injustice, that Allah is
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 smila 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 with sheer coffee or surreal nothing severe
about it, but it's hidden. What this shit 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,
you know, 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,
is done starts reciting beautifully better who Chu and his
sujood improves, his Roku improves and it looks like Whoa, what a
pious person and the salah quality changed by the present 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 this 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 shake, 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 is Allah. So
sometimes we start appreciating ourselves or achievement, look at
the three pointer I threw from half court 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 you know, somewhere
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? That's a form of hidden
schicke because you have just denied that 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 some other means. Maybe
you'll get another job, maybe you will not get a job you'll still
eat. 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 the salon said one in
this dunya will lead to the Lumads which means dark multiple darkness
is in the hereafter.
Next to IRS is 14 and 15. We will take together or was sinolinking

to my lair, Mirage Yo, come. So Nabil can be makan to Tama loon
last one Allah says and we have commanded people to honor their
parents.
Listen carefully, don't fall asleep on me now.
We have commanded people to honor their parents, then he says, their
mothers bore them through weakness and hardship upon hardship, and
the winning takes two years. So be grateful to me, Allah and your
parents.
Allah has 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
parents. And the second idea
and we'll 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 a 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 idea, the parental
rights of honoring them, respecting them, and being
grateful to your parents as Allah subhanaw taala says, and by
joining them mix 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, Masada, 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
or to allow to Rasul 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 Swanton has paired 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 you might even help a 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
the mothers favours lest we forget.
And that's why if you remember, in the Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
And when somebody asked him who has the greatest right on you, he
said, Oh, mocha mocha 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 moment, 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 they validate you, and your parents, your two
parents in the same I thank me and thank your 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 parents. 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 subhanaw
taala says elsewhere 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 at a moment when we are upset.
Soon on muscle OLALIA Salam said, riddle rugby fee riddle while it
was Sakata 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
displease 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 refused to walk
the path of Islam.
Like my parents gave me left me with this. Because most of us
here, all of us here are born into Islam. It's not like you're born
elsewhere. And Allah guided us.
Now, there are some 50 rulings that are derived from this is 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 a 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 I was in Tjahaja,
Allah and to Sharika be melesa can be healing for laughter time Allah
subhanaw taala says even if they're going to the extent of
taking you out of the out of my worship into shirk, said don't do
that. But what you
doo doo
was Sahiba who Moffitt dunya Ma, Allah subhanaw taala says, do not
accept what is wrong from them in matters that lead to disobedience
of Allah subhanaw taala because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam teaches you said law that in Luffy Massiah didn't highlight
that there is no obedience to the creation that involves
disobedience of the 100 of Allah subhanaw taala so there is no such
thing. But beyond that was Sahiba Houma fifth dunya ma rofa in this
dunya Allah subhanaw taala says Sahaj 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 Samba means
not calling once a year, Mother's Day or Father's Day Sahaba means
frequently visiting them being with them. So Haibo Huma, 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, Samantha, Allah says, in this dunya you be good to
them.
Now, if you remember, in the early stages, this is a makansutra, as
we said, that some of the companions of Rasulullah Salallahu
Alaihe, 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 you,
even with that.
And this is also illustrated in the kindness and virtue and
respect in the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam and his father aza.
Ibrahim alayhi salam is inviting him to the to the right thing and
others saying that
get out of here I'm going to stone you know, he says salam to Eamon
lives
because he is being expelled. So even in that
we show them respect but Allah subhanaw taala says,
For the bear Sevilla Mon Valley but in terms of following don't
follow that wrong way they're taking you obey those who work
Seville of Allah's, from the bountiful so 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 of Allah
subhanaw taala otherwise we will easily be led astray.
Number 16 Then he says you're gonna you're in interview with
Carl Hubbardton min Harden, photography Socrates office Somoto
Falon. Yet tv Hello in Milan Luffy from hobby. Oh, my dear son.
Eve even if there is a deed which is the weight weight of a mustard
seed, rather than a yawn, that little thing
that is in a bowl in a rock in a bowl, the Sahara large rock in a
boulder anywhere in the universe on the earth.
Yep, TB, Allah will bring it out.
Bring it out means in the dunya he 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 up.
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 and Islam is building on the aid 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 you say and
you do.
And that every action and word has consequences something is 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. Now 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 just this 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 powder powder that is smaller than that grain then only to see
how difficult it is for us yet for
Law 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,
and the future, that could have been, but will never be,
all of that is not possible, 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 ALLAH knows it, telling his son in telling us
what is the power and precision of Allah subhanaw taala that he will
make it known in this dunya and in the Accra 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 a state of sun, which means that you see Allah
subhanaw taala in front of you, and since you can see him he sees
you. It's in the terms of, of the sub woofer of this gear, it is
called maraca because
Allah subhanaw taala is a recipe but one of his name is Pete 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 about 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
the result of what is going on the conversations inside my heart.
Allah is watching, I need to be watchful.
So you're gonna have the cardinal Gilani, Talalay said, the meaning
of witches stand at the gate of your heart with the sort of
Tawheed
don't let anything enter your heart
that Allah would not be pleased sort of Tawhid excises demolishes
anything that from entering your heart.
So there is nothing we can hide. There is no place to hide. There
is no place to go except Allah subhanaw taala all secrets will be
divulged on the Day of Judgment. So since Allah is watching us, we
have to be constantly it should give us the strength to be in a
maraca of ourselves, we frequently watching what others are doing, we
should be watching inwards. What am I doing what am I thinking all
of those things? Okay, what is giving me pleasure? Is it okay
with Allah? What is distasteful for me? Is it okay with Allah or
vice versa?
And yet Allah is a Latif which means subtle and delicate and
refined and kind because Allah even though he is watching us do
things he does not immediately take us to account he doesn't make
it known that he knows it's almost like he's as if he didn't see it.
Giving us giants to fix ourselves to repent to root out and but he
is a hobby
all informed he knows he doesn't immediately respond to our deeds
he gives us time
so this way, look more or less Salaam is teaching the mighty and
power of Allah subhanaw taala his knowledge of the past present and
future and that he has absolute power
then he says to him Yeah, well no yet our team is solid what more
Bill Maher oufit 100 monka was Allama sabak In a dialect Amina as
we move again yeah, when are you Oh my dear son. Okay mister now
established so now finally after all of this comes this.
If you don't know Allah, how can you establish Salah
if you don't know what your parents are teaching and being
grateful, how can you listen to okay do salah. The moment the
parent goes if it's on the force of a stick, Salah is gone. The
moment a person moves out to to the doorman, the university the
assaults five times Allah is gone. Okay because it was the power of
the parent. So, first thing no Allah then he says, After that
faith is is that Eman in the educator of Allah has been
embedded in the heart part of the child.
He says
do four things. He says establish Salah enjoying good care
To forbid evil, and be patient.
So four things are in this pile. So let's go over those because
these are fundamental actions without which you really cannot be
a Muslim. Okay? And you cannot serve on the Spirit as the Khalifa
of Allah has we were created. Okay. So each of this reflects a
character trait character our relationship with with Allah
Swanton and with people and this is therefore proof of our fate
within society and our responsibility in society and sort
of a modus operandi how we should be
operating in the social interactions with people.
So the first of these as we say, you have Rene Hakim Asana, what is
the meaning of establishing salah Swatara monoliths and I'm gonna
last one else everywhere else doesn't say do sir establishing
salah what is the difference
establishing salah is to have constancy and consistency in Salah
so that our life revolves around the five Salawat rather than
fitting in Salawa whenever I have a time whenever I don't have and
not not the other way around. So establishing salon the masjid
that's a duty establishing salah in our home is a duty doing a
Salah in a Gemma has a duty having her sure concentration devotion
dedication is part of establishing focusing quality Salah is part of
establishing salah it's not just that we haphazardly fulfill that
Salah done okay like it was a burden to be taken off now you
know we're good
we frequently say you know namaste Cindy but let's just finish with
Salah then we can sit and relax as opposed to Rasulullah sallallahu
this used to say a rational behavior below or below give us
rest and relaxation how we have means by causing calling a ban. So
we may find rest in Salah
not outside of selling
so
every profit made for establishing salah in their progeny.
There are Bijur Nemo famous salata, women do Reethi Brian
Melissa Ramsay, while lawmakers those who established a lion from
my progeny,
Father Are children not just one generation generation after
generation
Rasulillah some sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was ordered Allah
subhanaw taala says to him, what a more Allah cabbies Salatu was
thoroughly
enjoying Salah Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam saying, Hey look,
with your family, establish Salah on your family and be patient and
offering them yourself.
So as parents all parents should teach
their children not just how to pray, but why we pray and it's
important. The word Salah has the same route as Silla Salah means
not your Salah Silla means to connect.
Okay? By Salah we connect with Allah. Okay, so just remember that
Salah should be a connection we are in a marriage, in ascension to
the Presence of Allah subhanaw taala and the salah is the most
important proof of our faith of our Islam.
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said to the effect that between us and
coveris Allah
because that is how you identify who is a Muslim.
If Salah is established in a person's life, it gives them
awareness of Allah subhanaw taala remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala five times a day gives them awareness of what is right and
wrong. What awareness of what is justice, what is injustice. So
standing in front of Allah subhanaw taala in Salah gives us
strength to stand up in front of others, to enjoin good and forbid
evil, which is what comes next. So Allah subhanaw taala Lokmanya
Allah salaams next part of his his advisors what motivated maruf 100
Mancha in joining good and forbidding evil if you call people
towards goodness first thing is we have to show them the right
alternatives write things to do before we said don't do this.
Don't do this. Don't do this. Okay. Many times we teach our
children only prohibition. Don't touch this. Don't do this. Don't
do this. You can do this. You can do
What can I do? So before you go to that everywhere in the Quran,
honorable maruf showing the right things to do the good things to do
is mentioned first, then comes prohibitions, stop them. So if you
see some, it doesn't mean that if you see something wrong being
done, you shouldn't stop it if you can, with your hand or with your
tongue, or at least in your heart as we are taught. So Allah smart
Allah tells us that this is a responsibility on every believer.
It's the responsibility of the rulers, it's the responsibility of
the, the the, the embody the scholars, common people, men and
women to act according to their ability.
Now, when you do that, frequently, you are going to meet with
difficulty and opposition, and sometimes abuse and people so who
are you? Who Do You Think You Are you telling me what to do? So
Allah subhanaw taala says was, Allah Asaba if you if you face
those
difficulties and challenges, then have patience.
Be patient, don't fight with them, endure patiently on Whatever
befalls you. Okay. And he says, Then he praises he's in a Dalek, I
mean as minimal and if you have that patience, when people are
challenging you yet you're telling the right thing, then this is
something that is a great resolve and something to aspire for. As
mill move, to have patience and form resolve to continue. Don't
give up no matter what befalls you. This is also an establishing
salah
in Salah if there's difficulty you still got to do it. The Sahaba
prayed on the battlefields. The enemy was there, they had to have
half of them stand with weapons while half of them prayed one
rocker then they will they will stand up the second one with joy.
How in the Seattle health when we are sick, we are praying when
you're bedridden, we are praying was southern southern insurance.
Some similarly when we are enjoying good and forbidding evil,
human irritate people, that's your test is from Allah subhanaw taala
of your resolve and it's a proof of your fate.
And as we said in joining good comes first and then comes the
forbidding of evil
and this asthma no more Allah subhanaw taala says this was a
character of the greatest of the Gambia and Russell he says what's
their karma sobre kulula azmin Minar Rasul. So have patience like
those full asthma, the five prophets, Nuala salami, Brian
Melissa Musa, Salam usarla, salam, salam ala Rasulillah, salam, Ala
lasma firm resolve no matter what happens. So this is their
character, and they all established prayers and they all
forbade evil, they all enjoy and good. So these these these four
qualities which are in this ayah salah, honorable maruf Nyan,
Mancha and sober are all the character traits of the greatest
of Gambia. Okay Subhan Allah may Allah subhanaw taala give us some
of that flavor of that at least. So Lokmanya lay Salam advises son
to pray perfectly and to do all of these duties.
And
remembering Allah and reflecting on his greatness always helps us
in being patient, and patience is the key to eternal paradise. No
one has been given anything better than Saba and Sabra translates as
patience, perseverance and Dorrance beyond other people in a
hadith that's well known most of it when I lay Rasulullah
sallallahu Alaihe Salam says, Well, money yet a sub bar u sub
barrel long Wilma, Katya hudon Alta and Heron what Oh, salmon
Mina sobre woman yet a sub bar whoever strides struggles to be
patient, you sub better you subdir hola hola will give him patience
you have to strive
Well, my booty I had an end there is nobody's been given something
that is fair and better. Then and more comprehensive. Other than sub
sub. This is what the status of subsidies.
So we stress two things today sugar and sour.
And you know something sugar and silver are two sides, opposite
sides of the same coin.
And just imagine if you are facing a situation where you're called
for sub.
How can I have sub just flip the coin over towards Shakur? Think
Of all of Allah's blessings.
Then you will become Chaka and it will make you easier to have some
same point
that gratefulness that burst of gratitude will help your summer
come to the last two is Allah subhanaw taala
records from LA C'mon la salaam wala to sadlier HUD de Cali naszej
Well Adam Schiff in fill out the Mara ha in Allah Allah your head
Bakula Matalan Falco,
and he says don't turn your cheek in arrogance and contempt means
don't turn away from people. While Adam Schiff will are the model and
don't stretch on the earth like you are something special.
In Allah Allah you Hekmat Kula maputaland Allah indeed Allah does
not love lie your handbook every McDowell one who is arrogant for
hole filled with pride.
So
look, man, Allah salaam now comes to character traits. And that in
that the first advice he gives us avoid arrogance, and be humble and
modest. He chooses this because this one character trait has a lot
of bad consequences that come out of it. Okay, so he singles out
Kebudayaan arrogance, because the dangers of feeling arrogant or
acting in a way is highlighted in the hadith of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam when you said, lie ye dofollow Janita Montana fie
Calbee Miss Kannada 10 Min keeper.
There is no entry for a person into Janna no entry if he has a
grain of kibble arrogancy there is no entry. This is so serious. So
some of the companions said to him, Yara Surah loving they heard
this, but what about a person in Rajala your headline your Hakuna
Thurber who has an out word Nanda who somebody who likes to wear
good clothes and good shoes. So what about that means now their
concern?
So Rasulullah sallallahu Listen, respond by saying in Allah Hi
Jamila, can you help build Gemma? Oh no, it's beautiful and he loves
beauty. This not Kibber He says I'll keep ru bottle on Hockey.
Welcome to NAS. You want to know what arrogance is, is to ridicule
and reject the truth, which is the debate can any other truth and to
despise people that is what giver is not that you like a good ride
and good clothes and you know all of that Allah has bestowed on you
in moderation.
Allah loves to see that his blessings on us.
So this is a stern warning because Kibera prevents entry into
paradise. So, it is no wonder that the wise Lachman al Islam
emphasizes humility. And this should be reflected in all aspects
of our life, even in our body language. So he says, Don't turn
your cheek. He doesn't say on any set. Don't turn your cheek,
frowning, turning away that I'm better looking down at people. You
know that puffed up, chest. Don't allow an iota of arrogance to seep
into your hearts. Why? Because we if we remember that all glory, all
majesty all great all pride belongs to Allah subhanaw taala he
is a little Bucha Kabir he is Al kabhi al Muhtar.
So don't see glory and honor except that which Allah has
bestowed on you, and for what he has bestowed on you, you should be
humble.
Because whatever hand of any gift that Allah has given you is a test
from him. So don't act as if you are better than anyone else.
humiliate the lado guides to paradise just as its opposite
kibra leads to Jana.
And again, humility that Dourado is humbleness is a product of
gratitude because you've recognized you have when you show
gratitude, you've recognized where credit is due so you don't take it
on yourself that Oh, I did this. So that makes us humble. And we
have examples of Kibera in shaitan.
His lack of humility caused him to be not only expelled from paradise
but condemned him and his followers to jahannam forever.
And we have rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, the best of
creation. If anybody had the right to be proud and arrogant, it would
be Rasul Allah Allah and what is he the most humble? standing for
hours at night in front of Allah subhanaw taala out of grand
to do, Shakur to Allah subhanaw taala his feet are swelling up,
he's sitting with the slaves and eating with them.
Mubarak, he's entering as a conqueror in Makkah, after all of
that with an army of 100,000. And what is his posture He's described
as his head is down on the back of his camera like this. He's
entering Makkah as the ruler imagine you know, Alexander the
Great and Akbar and whoever else you want entering, you know, when
they conquered here is a sort of Los Angeles entering Mecca, the
conquest of the house of the Baitullah and his head is down,
touching the back of his camel in humility.
Some Allah Allah he
will not come she fill out the Mara and don't walk with insolence
through the land as a sign of arrogance. Mata Ha is to consider
yourself more worthy that I am privileged I have a special
privilege, no matter where I am on the road belongs to me, in going
gathering, the best seat is mine. And I should be in the Senate.
This is Mara. Remember what was the end of Chiron Chiron was the
one who was known for his arrogance and his wealth and loss,
Montana split the earth and in a sinkhole everything him and his
wealth was absorbed. And so the Mannella Salam wanted to emphasize
the importance of humility in all aspects. He said in your body
language in the way you walk, because just remember that all
people are equal in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala except the
people who have faith and who have piety righteousness
in Allah Allah you have Bakula Matalan for who indeed Allah does
not love those who are arrogant and boastful. And when you when
Allah doesn't love you that means you are cut off from his mercy and
Islam.
And Maha as we said is to walk as we say, you know, stretching is
the word we use to just remember, you see the work of some of the
leaders of the world of the free world and you see some of the
works some of the past presidents some of the other dictators,
Mokhtar
morphol, comes from also from Al means your imagination you think
you are someone great
for whole as fucker the extreme fucker means one with extreme
pride.
Then the last I work CID V machine be moderate in your walking in
your pace.
What kind of footprints are we going to leave behind? There is a
Native American proverb which tells us we will be known by the
tracks we live.
We will all live and people will remember you. What will they
remember you? That's the most important thing.
So no monoliths Salaam is advising his son, walk gently on this earth
with care and be careful.
Patient humility, that should be our default demeanor.
And a believer is known by his humility, his gentleness and mercy
in his behavior to every two animals to everyone else. And when
it says,
Be moderate and regulate your your steps, it also includes the Mufasa
don't upset that you do not go to places that crossed the lines of
Allah's boundaries. You don't accompany sinners and disobedient
people because they will lead you that way. And there is a Hadith in
which the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said that the feet commit
Zina adultery the feet How can fit commit Zina if they carry you to a
place where Zina
is facilitated?
Whoa, whoa dot Min saltstick and lower your voice
in Ankara, Swati la salt will hammer. The most detestable the
ugliest of sounds is the sound of a donkey brain. This is what he
says. So this is the final part of his advice. He says lower your
voice. Don't be loud and harsh, he says.
Because that makes you like a donkey.
Shouting does not win hearts. It offends people. And it alienates
people, even in a bar diner worship Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam said, Don't raise your voice so so loud because you're
not calling on one who is deaf.
You're calling on one who knows? If you speak softly, he knows
what's in your heart before it comes to your tongue and he knows
you and before what is not coming your heart so
Why are you raising your voice in moderation even in that
and this is includes when it says lower your voice that there is a
prohibition for bad words for sinful talk for excessive talk.
Don't be like a jackass that donkey in every gathering, I'm the
only one who has to be heard. I have my word, my word by word.
So, guard your tongue because silence never hurt anyone. Look
man Allah salons. One of his wisdom is he says, There is a
special event that happened is a sum to heckmondwike Kowloon for a
sum, some silence, his wisdom, but very few follow this. And another
version, he says Assumpta Folkman is an order is a command but very
few following.
Because silence is gold as it says Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
is known to have spent long periods of silence, even in
company because and he's taught us that the consequence of the
tongue, more people will enter Jannah because of their tongue
than anything else. And that includes riba which is backbiting
now Mima getting tails and often making up stories wrong things.
Even arguing if you're on the right, there's Hadith of the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam about arguing is called Mara that
if you argue with people because you are right, instead of person
who does not argue but even when he is right, I will guarantee him
him a place in paradise. Okay?
So be careful with all your speeches, lower your voice,
because you are patient, you watch your tone, you don't stomp around
you don't lose it you don't argue. And as we know donkeys are
culturally the signs of What stupidity which is the opposite of
wisdom with we are seeking wisdom, not the opposite. And Allah
Subhana Allah mentions the hammer the donkey elsewhere in surah.
Juma you saying they are like a donkey carrying books scriptures.
So the externals sign of lack of wisdom is to raise your voice it
means you're like a donkey was carrying the knowledge but it has
not penetrated his heart.
So that's the end of that. And in a few minutes, let's summarize
what Lokmanya Elisa Lam said.
There is a critical sequence of advice, beginning with the most
important lesson, belief in one God. He makes it clear that
joining in worship with Allah subhanaw taala is the only
unforgivable sin. Next he lays the foundation of faith, that Who is
Allah, and what is accountability, and then reminds him of the
essential parts of the behavior of Salah, what we must try and strive
for and what we should shun such as pride and arrogance. And again,
as we said before, he advises his son in daringly Yagoona. And given
the magnitude and importance of the content that he wants, he
chooses to address him with love, in an intimate conversation when
they are alone, and that all of this advice may not have been
given at one time. It's not like that he gave one lecture with all
of this. This is what Allah swamp Allah has compiled for us, it may
have been given over a period of time, depending on the maturity of
the child. So at every stage, we do that, because this is an
ongoing process. It's not a one and done thing. Okay, there's not
AstraZeneca vaccine. So this teaches us as parents, the
messages to be delivered
is important, but how and when to deliver it is equally important,
perhaps more critical.
And then
part of the nurturing of the child is this education. And part of
that education is effective communication. How do we
communicate and that communication is important for everything, with
our spouses, with our friends, that communication is critical,
beautiful communication leads to beautiful relationships. So
to give, we cannot give what we don't have to give something to
our children. We need to know.
If I don't have the knowledge I can give.
You can give what you don't have. So the mothers and fathers need to
learn.
And they have to practice what they learn because children hear
with their eyes, what they see their parents doing.
And here we have a remarkable father figure of Lachman and
escena
and Lokmanya salaam did not become Lokmanya
Islam in one day, just remember love. Manjula, Salam was a child
himself
and somebody taught him and gradually he accumulated that and
became By Allah's grace and give Laquan the Heckman Hekmati.
So in these times in our current times in morals are twisted the
Islamic foundations a question around is made to right and vice
versa. So, people are searching for wisdom, and they may not be
sages and Olia to guide our young children. Therefore, the Quran and
the Sunnah and the power of these, his of having an honest
conversation between parent and child becomes even more critically
important. Where else are they going to learn, or they're going
to learn from the internet. So my dear brothers and sisters spend
quality time with your children. In the absence of any devices,
computers, screens, one on one
and look after their moral and spiritual needs and ensure that
future in the dunya and they
have Taqwa within yourself by example. And even if you die
young, Allah will protect your children. The proof of that is in
surah calf that Allah sends catarrhalis Salaam and one of the
owner as Musa alayhis salaam, traveled all the way to a village
to build a wall.
They work and they are hungry and they're given no food. Why is the
wall built? Because there is a treasure under that that belongs
to two orphans, whose parents were people who are righteous, they are
gone, Allah protected them. Not only protect he's sent to people
Musa lesson to protect their treasure.
So if you are righteous, Allah will protect your treasure, which
is your children.
Be close to your children. And always look for teaching moments
to advise the right time.
Do not yell.
Do not ridicule. Do not abuse do not punish. Do not pick on the
mistakes of the children. Show them the right things to do gently
as much as possible. Sometimes you may have to represent with wisdom.
Teach them what is good first, what is a good righteous action,
show them good alternatives rather than saying Don't, don't, don't
don't, okay.
And like Ibrahim alayhis, salam, and all Ambia make lots of the
offer your children and your project, because ultimately it's
only last pantalla who brings about the change in
and again, look Manella Salam has taught us how to set priorities,
what is to be taught first, when and in what order, starting with
top aid, knowing Allah, then Salah and everything else comes after
that.
Teaching them the consequences of actions that Allah has always
watchful, teaching them establishing salah in our lives
and the lives of our children. The importance of family bonding and
respect for our parents, we show respect for our parents, our
children see that and they will show respectful if we show the
opposite, and impatience and all of that our children will be
treated the same way. So there is a difference between just knowing
and applying it which make brings in hokhmah.
And gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala and to all people,
especially our parents, we have a duty to enjoin good and forbid
evil. In our club, we should have
gratitude, patience, perseverance all the times and humility,
moderation guarding our tongue.
And finally, we should appreciate the importance of helping our
children to develop critical minds in their upbringing so that they
can cultivate and strengthen Eman and obedience in them through
their own personal convictions.
Okay, do not try to forcefully drill into them.
This is what it is. This is what you have to do absolute obedience,
I'm the authority. This is what our tradition says. Explain to
them teach them in the right way. If that question, let them
question because it's through questioning, they will gain
conviction because you want to convince them so that when you are
not there they will follow the angels question Allah subhanaw
taala
yalla you're going to send the Khalifa on Earth Neil do this this
this
was Arelis Allah man's question Allah. So this city has been
demolished. How will you bring it? Ibrahim alayhis salam say, Yo
Allah.
How do you bring questioning? Let the
Question explain if you have the answer otherwise find people who
might be able to give them the answer.
So, Allah Salah
stone will have the severely tell them this is my way or the oil of
the I call towards Allah Subhan Allah basura tin with wisdom and
foresight and explain things okay. Not just this is how it is.
And this is especially for the youth because remember in the
beginning of the surah what did we say? Allah subhanaw taala and the
secondary he says But Meena nicely mine yesterday, well Hadith that
mankind will purchase, or buy into all of that wrong messages and the
entertainment industry because that's what the entertainment
industry, the music industry, the movie industry, they everything is
focused on taking the youth at that stage right.
So, they are trying to grab your children Lokmanya Salaam is trying
to save your children.
So
remember,
that the youth need to be addressed by us by parents by
example. Otherwise, there are plenty of scavengers ready to take
them apart.
Allah subhanaw taala make us worthy parents, make us worthy
parents that Allah is pleased with who leave behind the legacy of
good children. May Allah swaddler make us good children who are
respectful and honor honorable who honor their parents and show
gratitude to them and follow in their paths. May Allah Subhana
Allah forgive us for our shortcomings and what we should
have done and we haven't done and give us the opportunity to do that
which we have not done and make amends for our mistakes. Subhanak
Allama the ham technician to allow you
to relate
