Right?
You are a believer.
And Allah
is giving us both of these stories to
show us that Hidayah does not come from
Nuh alayhi salaam
or Nuh alayhi salaam or Ibrahim alayhi salaam
or Muhammad
oath. Right? Just like he's dealing other people.
Right? Because we know Islamically,
you're not supposed to say oath to your
parents. Right?
So you see the way he talks to
his father, he's not calling you by his
name as we mentioned last night. He's calling
him, yeah, Abedi, oh dear father, 4 times
in the same passage. Right?
O father, first he's done with his logical
approach.
Right? And he said, how come you worship
something that doesn't benefit you and doesn't hear
you? If you want if you need help,
he's gonna help you. All these idols, they
cannot help you. This is the logical approach.
Like, when you talk to your father and
he doesn't pray, you tell him, dad,
it's only 3, 4 minutes. Right?
Smoking.
There's no benefit in smoking. You are just
wasting your money. You're destroying your health. This
is the logical approach.
Then he moves to another level of doubt.
He says, oh, father. I received something from
Allah that you have not received.
And he mentioned last night that this is
the nicest way of putting it because somebody
else would have said,
I'm knowledgeable.
You are ignorant. Right? But I you would
have said it in a different way. Right?
But he said it in the most beautiful
way. He said, I have received something from
Allah that you have not received. So if
you follow me, I will guide you.
So I'm concerned for you.
I don't want you to go to Jahannam
or anything. He's saying, I I I don't
want you even to be touched
by the Torah. You see how much compassion
he's giving to his father. Right? And in
the meantime,
If your father is not practicing, he doesn't
pray, he's doing bad things,
he's yelling at your mom, he's, you know
or if your mom is doing the same
thing, she doesn't pray,
you know, whatever. Because as I said, sometimes
the children are practicing, but the parents are
taking a longer time to practice.
And this makes it very difficult for the
kids. Right?
So if you talk to them, try to
be nice with them. But in the meantime,
ask Allah to give them Hiday because Hiday
is not from you. So you see Lehi
said, I'm always making God to Allah to
get his father. Then what was the response
of the father?
Number 1,
he didn't respond in a similar way. You
see, Rahim say, dear father, oh dear father,
oh dear father, oh dear 4 times.
Then he said, so he didn't call him
by his name
or he didn't say, oh my dear son,
he called him by his name and he
said, how dare you reject my gods?
And then if you don't stop talking about
my gods, I'm going to kick you out
of the house
or I'm gonna stone you to death and
get out of my face. I don't want
you to see you for a long time.
Right? So this is what he's saying. You
see, you are talking to your father in
a very nice way, calling to your father,
Sa, please come to Jummah. Right? You are
very nice and you are very humble with
him. And all he said, you know what?
Get out of my house. You are not
my son. I'm gonna shoot you. Right? Don't
come back to the house. This is how
he's talking to you. You know, his father
responded.
And after all of this, after your your
dad responds in such
a terrible way, you tell him, okay. Peace,
man. Cool. Right? This is how the alayhi
salaam
responded, peace be upon you. Peace.
Right? I will keep making dua to Allah
to guide you. So this is how the
alayhi salaam was making dua to his father,
and he's always seeking dua from Allah, and
this is something we need to do. Remember,
take the from the right time, take your
words, be gentle and compassionate.
Idaiah is from Allah, not from you. Right?
The question for last
