So he said, no. No. If you're not
saying based on something you saw in your
own eyes. He said, well,
Omid Abu Adi, who was a Khalifa,
when he died, he left 11 children.
And he left
for
18 dinars.
They used
9 dinars, half of the money, to buy
a grave and a shroud for him,
and they distributed
9 dinars among his children. So each child
got less than 1 dinar.
And
Hisham al Ahmed Ali who was also a
hariba died and he left 11 children, the
same number of children.
And he left for each child a 1,000,000
nira. 1,000,000 nira.
And he said, on the same day, I
saw 1 of the children of Omar ibn
Ablazes
giving for Tisavila
a 100 horses
as salatah,
and I saw one of the children of
misha al makr al Nabi who got more
than a 1,000,000 in
inheritance,
each one of them.
So some of them begging people for salatah
in this space.
And the best legacy you can leave for
your children is with manners. This is the
best thing you can leave them.
Some of us assume
because we're good people, we came from good
families.
Or because sometimes
you bring them to the rajid, you know,
to write all these things. You have to
teach them. You have to prepare them for
the future. And Islam or good manners, this
is the best thing you can leave for
your children. We are not in a Muslim
country.
And the bad influence
is everywhere.
So you have to prepare them for the
future because they are the ones who will
carry Islam and will carry the message after
we leave this gun. So make sure I'm
gonna value them a good legacy.
It is hard to change our children when
they grow older, when they are 7 or
9 or maybe
5 or 6. It's hard to change them
once they get used to something.
It's hard to
change. So make sure as soon as they
start to speak, you teach them something about
Islam. You teach them salah, you teach them
some Quran, teach them some manners.
When they are trolled, it's very very hard
to change them. It's impossible.
They go to public school, they teach them
things and their friends. It's hard to change
but once you teach them when they are
young it's not part of their system, part
of their routine. It will be easy, you
know, to to guide them on the Surah
Al Muslak. But if you don't teach them
anything when they are young,
you don't teach them Quran or anything about
Islam, and they roll over and
you don't teach him Quran or anything about
Islam and you go older and you come
to complain to me all my kids don't
cry, my kids don't fast, my kids don't
respect me. What can I do for you?
It's it's too late now.
And sometimes
when you try to shame them when when
you're older come to me when you try
to change them when you're older come to
me to the masjid or do this or
do that. Some of them they will become
so resistant.
Do not call 911.
Ah, he's pushing me around.
And
we get scared because we're not originally from
here. Some of you still are permanent residents
or in a visa. But as soon as
your kids are born they have their status.
They have more rights. Thank you.
Maybe you will, you realize this when you
go to some airports.
Your kids have the Canadian passport.
They'll leave the passports
and you go to the back of the
line. You see the treatment.
So you have to teach your kids when
they're young
and don't wait until it's too late and
you come to complain to the Sheikh. Oh,
the Sheikh didn't do a good job.
I'm not a superman.
I don't have a magic wand. You think
if I hit you a kid once or
twice, all you will be a changed person?
I can't. So, you have to start from
a very young age.
Look at the sunnah of the Prophet
And he said, oh, young man,
be mindful of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
he will always be there for you. If
you want something, ask Allah.
And know for sure that all of humanity
were to gather together to build
and
and he was nice and kind to children.
In the summer Aliyah, one of the sahaba,
he said when I was 5, I was
6 years old, I was when the prophet
SAW said that he sprinkled my face with
water to make me laugh.
And there are so many examples. We gave
all the examples. But the prophet was leading
by example and the Sahar were there the
children of them and they saw him and
they were out of him all the time.
Abdullah, no more
there are so many stories.
Boyfriend and girlfriend and the drugs and all
these things.
If they have some Aflac, they will be
able to resist to a certain degree.
But if they don't have the the educational
or the religious background, it will be easier
for them to get lost. And they hear
stories, Bolide, I can tell you stories that
break your mind
but I can't. They are so miserable stories.
I can't I can't give you the stories
but we have problems with our youth and
the parents they've done and they complain.
So we have to lead by example. We
have to show our children what it is
to be a good Muslim. Proud of your
faith.
We have to lead by example. We know,
everybody knows
that when your kids are young,
they're like a sponge.
They absorb anything they see. If you see
you pray if they see you pray, you
will see them all the time coming to
you. They stand behind you in the land
and they pray like you and they make
mistakes all the time. But, they learn.
If they say
you doing something wrong, this is what they
will do. If you smoke in front of
them, you shouldn't be surprised when you see
your kid smoking a cigarette butt because they
just follow your example.
If somebody lies in the house especially parents,
you'll get a bunch of virus, small ones
in the house because they imitate
the adzaur.
When they come to the masjid and the
ziyat not behaving in the right way, we're
raising our voice or screaming at one another,
chairs
and weapons of mass destruction all these things.
So I'm here fighting and falling down and
some were bleeding. It was a disaster. One
of my friends he was an iman and
he told me the story. It's a true
story
and I'm sure the first day of Ramadan
everybody excited and how the masjid were used
and showed.
So somebody decided to put an end on
a fight but he did he called the
police.
So the police came, 2 3 4 officers
and they started to walk on the carpet
with their shoes.
So both Arab and Indian and Pakistan brothers
they got mad at the police. You have
no respect for the masjid because you walk
on the carpet with your shoes on.
Example.
I'm sure I'm sure we have a lot
of challenges. We have a lot of difficulties,
especially
when we talk about theirs, the fathers, they
usually have to work. They're out most of
the time.
The sisters are busy.
Some of them they don't have resources with
the behavioral background to take care of the
kids.
Many of us will speak good English and
our kids go to Canadian schools. They speak
good English and they always make fun of
your accent.
It happens all the time. We are not
aware of the culture where there's a huge
gap in Ghana there. Do your best. If
you're not able to teach them,
at least in a week and great things
with the Islamic school. Bring them to the
message for the many cultures we have with
the
