00:00:00--> 00:00:02

The other day I spoke about mothers. Some

00:00:02--> 00:00:03

of you might have heard the talk. It

00:00:03--> 00:00:05

was a Friday talk in Cape Town.

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

You won't believe it, I got some hate

00:00:07--> 00:00:10

mail, man, from people saying: How on earth

00:00:10--> 00:00:13

would you ever, ever say what you said?

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

I said: I'm so happy and proud that

00:00:14--> 00:00:17

I did, because normally I've spoken so many

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

times on children and so on. I've spoken

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

2 or 3 times on mothers. What's the

00:00:21--> 00:00:24

big deal? If anything, I probably didn't do

00:00:24--> 00:00:26

justice to it, just because I said you

00:00:26--> 00:00:27

must respect them and be kind to them

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

no matter what. What do you mean no

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

matter what? I did make an exception. Go

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

and listen to the talk.

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

Don't complain me. The reason I'm raising it

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

here again tonight is because

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

we have to talk about things. Just because

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

it didn't fit in your example doesn't mean

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

that I was wrong.

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

Perhaps your unique situation

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

may warrant something drastic,

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

but that's not the norm, is it?

00:00:50--> 00:00:51

So if I say something, if I say,

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

guys you've got to be kind to your

00:00:53--> 00:00:54

parents and look after them. Did I say

00:00:54--> 00:00:55

something wrong?

00:00:55--> 00:00:57

Not at all. But if your parent is

00:00:57--> 00:01:00

is an exception where they've been abusive and

00:01:00--> 00:01:02

really toxic and so bad and you've had

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

to go away from them to protect your

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

sanity and you, that's a different thing. That's

00:01:06--> 00:01:09

an exception. I'm not gonna be speaking, generalizing

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

regarding exceptions,

00:01:11--> 00:01:14

I'm gonna generalize regarding the norm, what's happening.

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

So if I were to tell you that

00:01:16--> 00:01:17

you got to be kind to this person

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

and that person, and I did say you

00:01:19--> 00:01:20

don't have to obey.

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

Were they telling you to do something wrong?

00:01:23--> 00:01:23

Or

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

if they're being nasty, you can address the

00:01:26--> 00:01:26

matter.

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

But just be kind. Remember that's your mother,

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

that's your father, come what may. They could

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

be the horriblest people on earth, but it

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

doesn't give you the right

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

to become nasty with them. You can step

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

back, you can tell them, you can you

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

can put your foot down, you can do

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

whatever you have to,

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

but the only thing is go easy, be

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

be kind. Allah chose that test for you.

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

be kind. Allah chose that test for you.
