00:15:37 --> 00:15:37
			sooner you come to see me
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			some other
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:53
			way
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			when I first saw
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			the movie
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			and why we do
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			when we
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			when we
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:31
			forget.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			Hello,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			parents, I told you last week
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			to talk about
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			our children, the challenges that they face faces or they deal with
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			their rights
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			because of what I had to encounter
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:13
			in the past few weeks, and in the past few months, in the past few years, since I came here to
America, since I've been working with the
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:20
			same story, same tragedies repeat themselves over and over again. And it is essential people are not
getting the point.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			So this morning,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			I heard an amazing story.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			I'll tell you a modified version of it.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			There was a funny morning that was issued.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			This brother told me one time
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			threatening many towns,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			three towns prepared themselves in three different
		
00:17:52 --> 00:18:01
			ways. One town did not believe in the forecast. And they said forget about it, what is it? What's
going to happen? Nothing. So they did not do anything.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:08
			And some of them I say how many say that they prepare themselves when you do not prepare yourself
and and when you do not plan?
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			You're actually planning as they say, right?
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			When you fail to plan, you're actually
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			planning for failure.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:28
			So they did not their plan was a very passive one. Do nothing, everything will be fine, will be okay
will survive and survive the ones before so they didn't do anything.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			The other town
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:39
			did not have a lot of time. So they went to they hire some people. They said you know what? They
didn't put a lot of planning a lot of thinking.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			So they said the easiest thing is to build
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:53
			something very solid, huge, a big one one shot, just something something strong.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:59
			Very rarely. So just put it there, it will block it in
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			the third town,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			thought differently.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:15
			They came collectively. We put our heads together. And they put their heads together and they came
up with some flat the results.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:22
			The first half was totally destroyed, fully submerged underwater. Nobody survived.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			The second town
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:33
			the pressure of the water was so immense that it destroyed me down.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			But as I saw the cracks
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			many people were able to skate with their lives.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			But others were not able to.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			Their town was destroyed as well.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:56
			And then I wanted to the other time, the third time to find that talent intact. Fine.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			What was the plan the people
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			That time they came together. And they figured
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:13
			that this is something that they all have to face, they all have to sacrifice a little bit. So they
decided to put their efforts and channel the water
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			throughout the city and around it.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			And when the water came,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:25
			it went through and finally receded. And they were able to survive
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:47
			the pressure that our children, brothers and sisters, and I suggest, if you're a parent, and even if
you're not a parent, and you will find a case, I suggest that you go and explore, and you go and see
what they have to go through. I suggest that you go to their high schools, or public schools,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			I suggest that you go to their,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			to those websites
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			that they always chat.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:06
			I suggest that you do that. I suggest that you sit and watch some of the
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			shows that they see.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:16
			What puzzles mean sometimes, is that some of us are oblivious,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			of the amount of pressure and temptation that our kids go through.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			Put yourself in their shoes.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			How are they supposed to survive
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			these
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			temptations? How are they supposed to keep their Islam and their foreign identity intact.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			But many of them manage by the boss.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			And by the work of the fields.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			Yet
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			many meetings,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:53
			we lose
		
00:21:54 --> 00:22:13
			brothers and sisters, I have to deal with issues. And here's the problem. And this mindset has to
change serious, this mindset has to change. You want to hear about their their rights and what you
can do for them and what they go through come tonight. In fact, tonight, I will show them a video
clip
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			that touched upon
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			when I showed them
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			a video that shows two young men
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:27
			cry
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			each one for totally different reasons.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:36
			One is tears were wasted. The other one is tears were for good and for good cause.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:43
			And I suggest that he comes tonight and watch this video and listen to the rights of children in
Islam.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:52
			But here, I want you to do one thing for me brothers and sisters, let's change our mindset. Our
approach.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:59
			We are still approaching this issue. We talked about the Bible
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			is a headache is a pain.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:10
			issue. Therefore we're trying just to make sure that they don't get in trouble. I just came from
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:20
			a press conference about the open house that we have on the 19th this Sunday for our neighbors for
the non Muslims
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			around us.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			And somehow the question came up again.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:37
			What are you going to do about those policies that may cause your children to be it provides
everybody's concern. And I said excuse me,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:45
			our children who are happy and come to the loss. They understand their lesson properly.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:24:12
			They know their principles. And they know that Islam is a religion of principle and values. And this
lesson will be learned by them. And they know that has not justified me and they take these kind of
opportunities to express themselves in a civil in a peaceful and an Islamic attraction and deliver
their message to people and telling people what they stand for and what they believe in.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:19
			But those policies have to change as a policy right? But it's not protected. The message protects.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:29
			Brothers and sisters, this attitude has changed. And we have to approach the youth, our children
with a positive mindset
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			keeping in mind that they are an asset.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			They are an investment.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			I say this and asking about some kind of commitment is awesome.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			Sit down write
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			a poem to us.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			He says a true orphan is not that
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			boy that lost his father or his mother.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			Because
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:24
			it is the one that has a father and mother, but they're totally negligent. And they were using it to
visit.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			So is a roof over their head.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			There's a roof over their heads, they have food, they have the best cars.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:38
			But they don't have. They don't have connection. They don't have spiritual fulfillment in their
lives.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:50
			Brothers and sisters, if we don't pay attention to our kids, someone else is going to get to them.
And it's either they're going to totally be lost. And
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			someday, they might get shot somewhere, someday,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			or die to the roads.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			What are you talking about?
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:06
			You know how many people I know that are straight A students, it might appear to be good.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:13
			In front of their parents and their parents are so proud of them. And they're alcoholic, they're on
half heartedly.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			The perhaps the parents have no idea whatsoever.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:29
			The parent central indeed, and then deprived from the machine, and from the connection with the
community.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			Very different detract from guidance.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Either they're going to get one slicer.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			Or they're going to go to the internet to those websites that will radicalize
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			where they find people who aren't as frustrated and as depressed as they are.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			And you know where that came from? Is this what we want for our children?
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:02
			How long is it going to take brothers and sisters, the children are the promises and pillars that
children are our responsibility.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			And we have a sense of responsibility.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			And everyone we asked
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12
			them for alphabet cousin said children are a gift from a boss and
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:20
			they're not there to aggravate you to cause the pain. They are a gift from a loss of health and
appreciate that gift.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:47
			And workout couples, please, husband and wives work out your differences for your kids. We don't
want you to chill and dry them in foster homes. We have two children actually, as we speak, a seven
year old boy and a girl who are an anonymous Christian for foster home. And we don't even have
enough Muslim families registered as foster parents to take a break. And we're looking around find
someone suitable to take care of most of this
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			may expose support and be exposed to
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			cooperation. Fortunately,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:03
			there are Listen, appreciate that lesson. And thank you once again panel guided tours taken away
from
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:12
			the children are the enjoyment of this life. The beauty of Islam, no matter what
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:13
			amendment
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:36
			purification of this man, whoever it is, this, then his children will turn into when the practicals
fitment a trial and tribulation. And if that fitna continues as the answer, some of you are spouses
and your children might be enemies. So be aware of that. Be careful. And if they're not enemies in
this life,
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			then they're going to end in here.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:46
			I conclude with a story. And I'm not trying here to depress you because some of us might say, Well,
what am I going to do?
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			They're all grown ups. All the ways.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			don't connect with the loss of Hamlet that wasn't handled.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:05
			Strengthen your relationship with the Laws of Power that he that a guidance is in the hands of the
Laws of Power, and hearts are controlled by the wonderful, mighty,
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			new is
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:13
			no loss of sight, but after the sport.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			And even after he lost his son, he
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			can no longer pay for your
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:35
			training. How many of us pray what long I used to hear my father every single prayer after every
single prayer. in Medina, I happen to sit next to a great chef.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:53
			And before he came sat down, he did not stop praying and celebrating the members of a wall and
mentioning the names of a wall and building it for himself and for his family. For your safety.
further guidance has been the most powerful and he does this every single day.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:30:00
			So let's get to remember our kids when they get in trouble when they bring us together.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			Oh, no, Counselor, can you help me out? Can we cover this up?
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			Can we resolve this issue before?
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			What are they talking about in this fight? They're gonna know about it, they are asking,
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:13
			what are you going to do?
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:23
			When you're not able to cover it up, it is not late. It's never late brothers and sisters, remember
anything, even if your children have left you prefer
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			to the first one of how, you know a man that came here
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			3040 years ago,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:44
			he had eight sons, he may have not been very vigilant, he may have been very careful, he was very
busy trying to make a living.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:58
			So some of his children went the other way. Some of them are fine. Maybe they will find because
maybe he later. And his last years of his life, maybe he became better because anyhow,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:05
			things change. I remember him trying to connect with him, try some of his friends grandchildren.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:17
			One of his grandchildren came to this great, or to this funeral with a big huge cross on his chest.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:28
			But his children must learn how to open their hearts after the loss.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:41
			If not all of the most previous roles and lots of power without a lesson that was two grandchildren
born and raised here in America, who memorize them all.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			And they pray for your grandfather.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			So don't give up.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:57
			But you have to do something, you have to do something. But this is one of those things that we can
do to support those activities and programs for where you
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:05
			support them. This is what we'll say. These are the channels here. That will save us from drowning.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:14
			As the loss of habitat to protect and preserve our children, as the loss of habitat of
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			brothers and sisters, I would like to really take this opportunity and on behalf of the
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:38
			home, some of them are touched by your generous contributions by your efforts. Some of them were
touched, and they donated or they lent the money. Because one of one of the things that we have to
understand that
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			values were disappointed for a long time.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			Leadership, let me just be honest,
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:50
			I mean, one of those disappointing factors was we don't have we don't have enough people doing
enough
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:56
			in order to earn their trust in order to earn the respect for the system.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:16
			So some of them actually came forward. And they took it upon themselves to do whatever they can to
free message from this because it's a shame. I mean, it's very shameful Do you think about how are
you going to go to the 30s or to the dollar programs or on campus and
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:22
			when they know that synagogues and churches have had the best of
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:24
			facilities,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			the latest state of the art
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:40
			you know, sometimes in some inside Milwaukee, I have heard this contract. I'm not making this up. I
have heard you're telling me I'm embarrassed to come to the masjid and I'm embarrassed to bring my
non Muslim price of admission.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:50
			So I want to thank those who contributed who are helping us we're almost
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			were we what we have 300
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			credit cards. So let's
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			have enough people came
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			along was the fact those people will contribute.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:16
			And a donation like whether it's the chandelier vendor, whoever sponsored anything original or
donated all the furniture that you've seen all the all the new stuff that you see is is a donation
from someone
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			and we asked them
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			but what we only have to pay
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:27
			so if you want to help help for yourself, or for your children,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			and you're going to get your money's worth and this
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			alone has given us
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			a lot
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:46
			of money.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			Bochy,
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			along with me
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			Aloha.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			Aloha.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			Aloha.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			Aloha
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			I
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			was
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:28
			younger
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:42
			Where's the money?
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:44
			Where's the
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			money
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:56
			can I
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:07
			What can I shake my head? My head was covered
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			Hello
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:33
			man
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			What can
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:41
			we do? Let me
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:47
			know
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:51
			what's
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			in the
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			economy
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			massage me
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:10
			his name
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			was
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:19
			Josh
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			by the way
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			to Panama
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:41
			soon
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			come on Friday
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			we I
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:11
			think when I first saw
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			the movie
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			and why we do
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:28
			what we do
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:32
			anyway
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:38
			when
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:44
			forget
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48
			it
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:03
			parents I told you last week that I want to talk about
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:09
			our children the challenges that they face the issues that they deal with
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12
			their rights
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:17
			because of what I had to encounter
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:26
			in the past few weeks and in the past few months in the past few years since I came here to America
since I've been working with youth.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:33
			Same story same Dragon Age repeat themselves over and over again. And it is a search people are not
getting the point.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			So this morning,
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			I heard an amazing story.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			I'll tell you a modified version of it.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			There was a funny morning that was issued.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			This brother told me one time
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:57
			threatening many towers
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			three
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			towers, preparing themselves in three different
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:14
			ways. One town did not believe the forecast. And they said, Forget about it, what is it? what was
gonna happen? Nothing. So they did not do anything.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:21
			And someone might say how many say that they prepare themselves when you do not prepare yourself.
And, and when you do not plan
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			you're actually planning as they say, right?
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			When you fail to plan, you're actually
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			planning for failure.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:41
			So they didn't know their plan was a very passive one, doing nothing, everything will be fine. We'll
be okay, we'll survive and survive the ones before. So they didn't do anything.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			The other town
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:52
			did not have a lot of time. So they went to they hired some people, they said, You know what, they
didn't put a lot of planning a lot of thinking.
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			So they said, the easiest thing is to build
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:06
			down something very solid, huge, a big one, one shot, just something something strong.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			Very rarely. So just put it there, it will block any
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:15
			the third town,
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			thought differently.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:28
			They came collectively. And they put their heads together. And they put their heads together. And
they came up with some plan. The results.
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:35
			The first town was totally destroyed, fully submerged. underwater, nobody survived.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			The second count,
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:47
			the pressure of the water was so immense that it destroyed me down.
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			But as they saw the cracks,
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			many people were able to skate with their lives.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			But others were not able to.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			Their account was destroyed as well.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:09
			And they are bonded to the other time, the third time to find that talent intact. Fine.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:15
			What was the plan, the people of that time they came together. And they figured
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			that this is something that they all have to face.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:26
			They all have to sacrifice a little bit. So they decided to put their efforts and channel the water
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			throughout the city and a remnant.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:33
			And when the water came
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:38
			and went through and finally receded, and they were able to survive
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:48
			the pressure that our children, brothers and sisters, and I suggest if you're a parent, and even if
you're not a parent,
		
00:42:49 --> 00:43:00
			and you find kids, I suggest that you go and explore and you go and see what they have to go
through. I suggest that you go to their high schools and their common schools.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			I suggest that you go to their
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:07
			to those websites
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			that they always chat.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:19
			I suggest that you do that. I suggest that you sit and watch some of the
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			shows that they see.
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:29
			What puzzles me sometimes is that some of us are oblivious
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:35
			of the amount of pressure and temptation that our kids go through.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			Put yourself in their shoes.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			How are they supposed to survive
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			these
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:51
			temptations? How are they supposed to keep their Islamic identity intact
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			but many of them manage by the boss
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			and by the work of the fields.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:01
			Yet
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			many widows
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:06
			we lose
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:26
			brothers and sisters, I have to deal with issues. And here's the problem. And this mindset has to
change students this mindset has to change. You want to hear about their their rights and what you
can do for them and what they go through tonight. In fact, I will show them a video clip
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			that touched about
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			when I showed that that video clip
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			a video that shows two young men
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:40
			crying
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:44
			each one for totally different reasons.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:50
			One whose tears were wasted The other one is tears were good for a good cause.
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:56
			And I suggest that you come tonight and watch this video and listen to the rights of children in
Islam.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			But here I am.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05
			Should you do one thing for me brothers and sisters, let's change our mindset, our approach,
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:11
			we are still approaching this issue that we talked about.
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16
			It's a headache, it's a pain.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:23
			But you finish their part, which try just to make sure that they don't get in trouble. I just came
from
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:33
			a press conference about the open house that we have, on the 19th. This Sunday for our neighbors for
the non Muslims
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			around us.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39
			And somehow the question came up again,
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:50
			what are you going to do about those policies that may cause your children to be radicalized?
Everybody's concerned, and I said, Excuse me,
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:58
			our children who are acting according to the laws, they understand their lesson properly.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:25
			They know their principles. And they know that Islam is a religion of principle and values. And this
is a lesson learned by them. And they know that has surprised me. And they take these kind of
opportunities to express themselves in a civil and a peaceful and an Islamic attraction, and deliver
their message to people and telling people what they stand for, and what they believe in.
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:32
			But those policies have to change as a policy, right. But it's not protected, the machine protects.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:42
			Brothers and sisters, this attitude has changed. And we have to approach the youth, our children
with a positive mindset,
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			keeping in mind that they are an asset.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:49
			They are an investment.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:07
			Company.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			Opponents once said, basically,
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			he says that a true orphan is not that
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:28
			boy that lost his father with his mother.
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			Because
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:34
			it is the one that has a father and mother but they're totally
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			unable to see it to visit.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			So is a roof over their head.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:44
			There's a roof over the heads of food and the best in cars.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:51
			But they don't have power. They don't have connection. They don't have spiritual fulfillment in
their lives.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:48:08
			Brothers and sisters, if we don't pay attention to our case, someone else is going to get to them.
And it's either they're going to totally be lost. And Monica shot someday, they might get shot
somewhere, someday,
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:13
			or die for the rights. And suddenly you might feel like what are you talking about?
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:19
			You know how many people I know that are straight A students it might appear to be good.
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:26
			In front of their parents, the parents are so proud of them. And they're alcoholic, they're hardly.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:31
			There, perhaps the parents have no idea what's
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:42
			the current central idea and then deprived from the message and from the connection with their
community.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			Very different from guidance.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			Either they're going to get lost like that.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:55
			Or they're going to go to the internet to those websites that will radicalize
		
00:48:57 --> 00:49:01
			where they find people who aren't as frustrated and as depressed as they are.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			And you know where that came from? Is this what we want for our children?
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:10
			How long is it going to take brothers and sisters?
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:15
			Children are the promises are filled with children our responsibility
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:18
			and we have a sense of responsibility.
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:25
			And everyone will be asked on the day. The alphabet comes in says children are a gift from a boss
and
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:33
			they are not there to aggravate you to cause you pain. They are a gift from a loss of habitat.
Appreciate that gift.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:59
			And workout couples, please. Husband and wife work out your differences for your kids. We don't want
you to chill and dry them in foster homes. We have two children actually as we speak the seven year
old boy or girl who are an anonymous Christian for foster home when we don't even have enough Muslim
families registered as foster parents to take care of him and we're looking around to find someone
suitable to take care of
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			was
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:04
			being exposed to * and being exposed to
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			cooperation. Fortunately,
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			there are Listen, appreciate that lesson. And thank you
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:16
			for staying away from
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:25
			the parents and the children are the enjoyment of this life. The beauty of this life, no matter what
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:26
			a moment of
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:49
			purification of this one, whoever does not make this, then his children will turn into when the
Broncos fitness is a trial and tribulation. And if that continues, as the answer some of your
spouse's and your children might be enemies. So be aware of that, and be careful. And if they're not
enemies in this life,
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			then they're going to be enemies in here.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:51:03
			I think we'll do the story. And I'm not trying here to depress you. Because some of us might say,
Well, what am I going to do now? They're all grown ups. They're all like they wait,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:08
			don't connect with the loss of that phrase.
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:18
			Strengthen your relationship with the loss of power that he died, a guy that is in the hands of a
loss of power, and hearts are controlled by the mighty,
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:19
			no.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:26
			No, loss of sight. But after that is part
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:30
			and even after he lost his son,
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			you can no longer pay for, for your
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:48
			train for the company was pretty well long. I used to hear my profit for every single prayer after
every single prayer. in Medina, I have to sit next to a great ship.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:52:06
			And before he came sat down, he did not stop praying, and celebrating the members of a wall and
mentioning the names of a lot and building alliances with him for himself and for his family, for
their safety for their guidance. He was big, he was proud of that. And he does this every single
day.
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:18
			So let's get to remember our kids when they get in trouble when they bring us some shame. Oh, check
him out. Counselor, can you help me out? Can we cover this up?
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:20
			Can we resolve this issue before?
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:25
			or after?
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:27
			What are you going to do about that?
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:35
			When you're not able to cover it up? It is not nice. Never leave brothers and sisters, even if your
children unless you
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:37
			ask them once you come
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:45
			to the first one of Harvey Norman, that came here 3040 years ago,
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:57
			he had eight sons. He may have not been very vigilant, he may have been very careful, he was very
busy trying to make a living.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:11
			So some of his children went the other way. Some of them are fine. Maybe they will find one maybe he
later and his last years. With this life. Maybe he became better because anyhow,
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:20
			things change. I remember him trying to connect with him try some of his friends, grandchildren,
genomes.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:30
			One of his grandchildren came to his grave, or to his funeral with a big huge cross on his chest.
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:41
			But his children must learn how to open their hearts after the loss.
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:54
			If not all of the most previous role. And a loss of power without a lesson was to grandchildren or
to raise here in America. We memorize them all.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:56
			And they pray for the grandfather
		
00:53:58 --> 00:53:59
			in a
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			unit, so don't give up.
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:10
			But you have to do something, you have to do something. But this is one of those things that we can
do to support those activities and programs where we
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:18
			support them. This is what we'll see. These are the channels here that will save us from drowning
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:22
			as the loss of how
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:27
			to protect and preserve our children, as the loss of habitat of
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:33
			brothers and sisters, I have to really take this opportunity on behalf of the
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:51
			home. Some of them are touched by your generous contribution by your efforts. Some of them were
touched, and they donated or they lent the money. Because one of one of the things that we have to
understand that
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:58
			values were disappointed for a long time and they were so committed to me sometimes in the
leadership. Let me just be honest with
		
00:54:59 --> 00:54:59
			you
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03
			appointing factors we don't have, we don't have enough people doing enough
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:09
			in order to earn their trust in order to earn the respect for the system.
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:29
			So some of them actually came forward. And they took it upon themselves to do whatever they can to
free message from this because it's a shame. I mean, it's very shameful Do you think about how are
you going to go to interfaith activities, or to the dollar programs or on campus and
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:35
			when they know that synagogues and churches have have the best of
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:38
			facilities,
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:41
			the latest state of the art
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:53
			you know, sometimes in some bizarre world long I have heard this and I'm not I'm not making this up.
I have heard you're telling me I'm embarrassed to come to the machine, and I'm embarrassed to bring
my numbers in price of admission.
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:03
			So I want to thank those who contributed who are helping us we're almost
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:11
			where we what we have 300 million grant so less than a million
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:13
			how many people came
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			alive most of those people who contribute
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:29
			and a donation like whether it's the veteran whoever sponsored anything original or donated, all the
furniture that you see all the all the new stuff that you see is is a donation from someone
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			and we asked the boss
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:35
			but what we only have to pay
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:41
			so if you want to help help, spur yourself, for your children,
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:45
			and you're going to get your money's worth at this time.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:55
			Aloha.
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:59
			Aloha. Aloha.
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:01
			Aloha.
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:10
			Alone.
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			Alone.
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:15
			Alone.
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:18
			Alone.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:20
			Alone.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:25
			Alone isn't.
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:27
			gentleman
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			said
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:33
			when I
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:36
			was
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:41
			younger
