00:00:01--> 00:00:03

I love my parents. I wouldn't ever want

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

to do a thing to hurt them.

00:00:06--> 00:00:07

But I love the rest of my family

00:00:07--> 00:00:09

starting with my wife.

00:00:10--> 00:00:11

And by the way she's seated here this

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

evening, mashallah.

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

Now you know why I said all of

00:00:14--> 00:00:15

that.

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

But my brothers and sisters to be very

00:00:19--> 00:00:22

honest with you, may Allah Almighty grant us

00:00:22--> 00:00:25

goodness. Pray to Allah to help you eradicate

00:00:25--> 00:00:28

bad habits and develop good habits. Let there

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

be something unique about you. We're talking here.

00:00:30--> 00:00:33

It's a motivational evening and I am going

00:00:33--> 00:00:34

to tell you that wallahi I need to

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

work on myself and so do you. Become

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

a better person.

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

How can you get married

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

and then after some time you say, but

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

I'm only going out with my friends. No

00:00:43--> 00:00:46

my brother, it's wrong. Those are all bachelors

00:00:46--> 00:00:47

and if 1 or 2 of them are

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

married they have marital problems. They are also

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

facing a disaster. Their spouses are telling them

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

how do you like it for example. Sorry

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

let me finish that sentence. Their spouses are

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

telling them the same thing.

00:00:58--> 00:01:00

How would you like it if

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

it was the other way around? Your wife

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

went out every night up to 2 and

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

3 in the morning and decided I'm just

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

with my friends. What are you doing? Shisha,

00:01:07--> 00:01:09

hookah, whatever they call it, right?

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

And by the way the flavor was quite

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

nice. You would have liked it if you

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

were there, right?

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

Imagine, what would you do if it was

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

the other way around, unacceptable. If it is

00:01:19--> 00:01:22

unacceptable that way it is unacceptable this way.

00:01:22--> 00:01:23

Thank you very much.

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

So why why on earth did you get

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

married? You have no time for your kids.

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

You have no patience with them and you

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

call yourself connected to Allah. You call yourself

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

a believer. You're a Muslim. You're a Mu'min.

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

You should be ashamed of yourself.

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

May Allah protect us. Go and spend more

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

time there. Do what's right. Your life is

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

short. You will die before you know you're

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

going to die. Has anyone known I'm going

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

to die tomorrow morning 8 o'clock? That's it.

00:01:47--> 00:01:48

I'm going. Goodbye.

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

No.

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

You die without all of that. You're gone

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

and that's it. You don't want to regret

00:01:53--> 00:01:56

it. Allah has blessed you with a faith

00:01:56--> 00:01:59

that governs every aspect of your life if

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

you understand.

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

you understand.
