I love my parents. I wouldn't ever want
to do a thing to hurt them.
But I love the rest of my family
starting with my wife.
And by the way she's seated here this
evening, mashallah.
Now you know why I said all of
that.
But my brothers and sisters to be very
honest with you, may Allah Almighty grant us
goodness. Pray to Allah to help you eradicate
bad habits and develop good habits. Let there
be something unique about you. We're talking here.
It's a motivational evening and I am going
to tell you that wallahi I need to
work on myself and so do you. Become
a better person.
How can you get married
and then after some time you say, but
I'm only going out with my friends. No
my brother, it's wrong. Those are all bachelors
and if 1 or 2 of them are
married they have marital problems. They are also
facing a disaster. Their spouses are telling them
how do you like it for example. Sorry
let me finish that sentence. Their spouses are
telling them the same thing.
How would you like it if
it was the other way around? Your wife
went out every night up to 2 and
3 in the morning and decided I'm just
with my friends. What are you doing? Shisha,
hookah, whatever they call it, right?
And by the way the flavor was quite
nice. You would have liked it if you
were there, right?
Imagine, what would you do if it was
the other way around, unacceptable. If it is
unacceptable that way it is unacceptable this way.
Thank you very much.
So why why on earth did you get
married? You have no time for your kids.
You have no patience with them and you
call yourself connected to Allah. You call yourself
a believer. You're a Muslim. You're a Mu'min.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
May Allah protect us. Go and spend more
time there. Do what's right. Your life is
short. You will die before you know you're
going to die. Has anyone known I'm going
to die tomorrow morning 8 o'clock? That's it.
I'm going. Goodbye.
No.
You die without all of that. You're gone
and that's it. You don't want to regret
it. Allah has blessed you with a faith
that governs every aspect of your life if
only
you understand.
