Mustafa Khattab – Taraweeh Gems 19 Follow Ibrahim

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
