00:00:00 --> 00:00:05
			inshallah taking and extracting
some benefit from the Hijra and
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:10
			from the saving of Musa alayhis
salam from the tarneit from. My
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			first advice is for our young
brothers and sisters, or youth who
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:20
			are students are going to school,
any level of school, even college.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			What we learned from the Hedgehog
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			is that the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam left something
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			that is very dear and beloved to
him
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			in order to get or attain
something that's much greater.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			When he left Mecca, he left his
people, he left his land, he left
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			his wealth, he left his family,
and he went to a place of
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			uncertainty.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			But because he trusted in Allah,
we see the baraka of the Dawa of
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam until
today. So the first advice that we
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
			could extract from the heads up
for our beloved students, is, Do
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:08
			not be afraid as the school year
begins to switch up your friends.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			Do not be scared to leave what
you're accustomed to.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			If you discovered yourself this
summer, if you committed to
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			becoming better, then don't go
back into that same vicious cycle
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			and expose yourself to those same
evils. No, you're a better person.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			And no matter what you leave,
it'll never equate to what
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam left, that's number one.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			And what we could learn from the
story of Musa alayhis salam
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:45
			is that he not only stood out,
like a sore thumb amongst the
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			people of Egypt, in the pharaohs.
But even on the day that he was
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:56
			saved from the Pharaoh, even his
own people been enthralled in who
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			he did everything for, he helped
out, sacrifice his life, put
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			himself on the line for them. They
all gave up on him at the end. And
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			they said in LM with Rocco, and
they're like, You know what, Musa
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			we're finished you let us to
death.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			And you know what he did? He said
Kilda in the manga Robesonian. He
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			said, No way Allah is with me. So
my second advice to the students
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			is put your trust in Allah. Even
if you stand out, even even if
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			you're the black sheep, even if
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			people doubt your path, as long as
you're certain in your path, and
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:38
			Allah is with you. Don't be scared
will lie. If Muslims were at the
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			forefront in the world brothers
and sisters, you know, the only
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			religion being preached in the
world right now? Is what?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Islam?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			And why do I say that? Because
it's the only religion that's
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			intact.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:59
			All these other ideologies,
they're like a tsunami. Right? But
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			because we are strong, and we have
our faith that is grounded in the
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			to the Quran, and Sunnah, that
were unchanged, and authentic and
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			will remain that way until the day
of judgment. We are certain when
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:16
			we stand before these waves,
right? So stand your ground and be
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:21
			strong. And know that if we give
into these pressures, then we
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			wouldn't see convergence to Islam.
We wouldn't. Islam wouldn't be the
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			fastest growing religion, if we
given to every pressure of our
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			friends and our people. Oh,
they're dressed this way. Oh,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			they're talking about this. Oh,
they're meeting up this place this
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			weekend. No, that's, that's not.
That's not what made us know what
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			it is. So your patience, your
perseverance, your steadfastness
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			is what's gonna keep you on the
path and that's why Musa alayhis
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
			salam was given what? Allah saved
them because of that, right? So
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			let's split the ocean and they
crossed the clock, split the sea
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			and he crossed the sea because of
what because of his trust for
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			Allah subhanho wa taala. Right. So
put your trust in Allah. Another
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			advice for the parents.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:14
			So the parents, I know we're going
back into that cycle again. Right?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Sometimes it's tough, you know,
the daily grind, work, pick up,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			drop off, you know, get the stuff
groceries, whatnot, and you know,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			Campanelli after school program
now that and Quran class and Hubbs
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			class and whatever it is, right?
We're always you know, trying to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			keep keep everybody busy. But you
know,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			one thing we could learn from the
head of the messenger SallAllahu
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:37
			Nilsen
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			is to
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			to do what you have to do.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52
			Do what's necessary and be the
example for your children instead
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			of preaching to them, what to do?
Let them see in you what they have
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			to do. Let them see in you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			What they have to be like,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			demand respect from them, rather
than ask them to respect you.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Your actions are what demand
respect so when Muhammad
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made
hijra,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			he didn't just tell everyone okay,
go ahead. I'm chilling here in
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			Mecca. I'm okay because I'm from a
strong family, Croatia. Nobody can
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			touch. No, no, he didn't. He
didn't even try. Oh, they made an
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			agreement with me. But you guys
can move to Medina. No, he didn't
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			do that are they slots to them. He
went, he put, he sacrificed
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			everything himself, which made it
easy for everyone else made him
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			the example. So for parents be the
example.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			And the second thing you know, in
the story of Musa alayhis salaam,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			what parents can extract from
there's so many lessons we could
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			take from the story of Musa
alayhis salam and him being saved
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			from the tyranny of four out
right. But when he
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Mussolini Alayhis Salam.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			When he put his trust in Allah, he
didn't have any fear of what's
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			going to happen.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:09
			He didn't look back or doubt that
what he's doing was wrong at all.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			He didn't do anything because he
was fulfilling Allah's command.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			So
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			with that,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			he wasn't
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28
			saddened by the disheartening
statements have been extra, you
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:33
			know, bending soil, how much did
Musa put up with them? They lived
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			amongst the pharaohs for about 30
years. They saw nine of the
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			greatest miracles in the history
of mankind. They were exposed to
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:46
			everything. And Musa alayhis salam
sacrificed his life in the palace
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			of the Pharaoh and back, we could
have squashed his beef with Iran.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			But he didn't. He went, and he did
everything to save them. And then
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			when he came to a point, they
dropped him in a heartbeat and
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			said, call us in Aleppo.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			Did that sound and Musa alayhis
salam? No, because he had his
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			trust in Allah and he knew what he
was doing was right. So what I'm
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			saying to the parents, sometimes
our kids, they say things to us
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			that dishearten us. They make us
sad. We wonder after everything we
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			did for them. Why are you saying
this to me? Why are you doing this
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			to me? I'm putting my life I'm
working. I'm spending I'm
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			providing him. I'm sacrificing
everything for you. And then you
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			tell me this. Don't be
disheartened.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			But persevere. And be patient Musa
alayhis salam after they said that
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			you think he took tabs on him? The
sea was split. Oh, you you're the
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			one that was telling me that was
telling me how we're about to get
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			Kyle you're not no longer a
believer. How was your castaway?
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			No, he didn't say that. He sent me
He taught him a lesson was like
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			You see, Allah is with us guys.
Did they learn some of them still
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			didn't learn even after the sea
was split Subhanallah there's so
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:01
			much we can learn as students, as
parents and even as teachers,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			right? And inshallah Tada, I don't
want to make this a long talk.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			There's so much we could extract
from the Hijra from the story of
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			Musa alayhis salam. But as we get
back into school, get back into
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			the grind. Inshallah, make sure we
strive for excellence, make sure
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20
			we we turn a new page just like
this new year kind of started in
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			the new Islamic month. Let it be a
year where we accomplish things we
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:30
			never thought we can accomplish.
Let us start this year as a person
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			and end it as someone who we
always want it to be. Let us be by
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:39
			the end of the year, the person
who we look at Man, I wish I could
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:39
			be that person.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			I wish I could be like that
person.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:50
			Is it hard? Well, life's not hard.
So let's think of that. And let's
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:55
			strive for the goal and let's be
persistent Inshallah, we'll meet
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			you have to look at Allah Allah He
for who has and whoever puts their
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			trust in Allah, then Allah is all
they need. May Allah may Allah
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			make us from those who put put
their full entire trust in him? I
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			mean the exact Malankara Salaam
Alaikum
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:18
			in LA Mussolini now almost Lima Do
you want meaning Mina team will
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			quantity now look on it that he
was slaughtered in pain I was born
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:29
			in Poland he once saw the Rena was
Slavia before she you know under
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:29
			fire she
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			won unfortunately no one was
watching. The one downside the
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:46
			lino one downside the party was on
me now was all in
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:52
			one heavy Lena for gentle home
wouldn't have been a lot. It was
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			good enough long I guess.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			What's going on? I don't
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			Law hula
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			nauseam
