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