			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah him Hamid while he was so happy to hear Jemaine about Welcome to
another segment of fathers and sons in the Quran, and I want to share with our viewers once again
the objective of starting this program was that we can see what the Quran what kind of stories do we
find the Quran that takes place the conversations that take place in the Quran between fathers and
sons, and it is the responsibility of the Father to teach their own sons. It is not always a primary
responsibility of the mothers. But the father has to play a very pivotal and a very important role
		

			when it comes to doing the Tobia of their own children. And so these are the stories of the Quran
and here we are in the story of local man al Hakim. So now we have talked about some of the advices
that local man has given and one important advice I do want to say when it comes to fathers is that
what we learned from local man's advice is giving to his son is is not only one type of advice that
local man is giving to his son, see may times of fathers they emphasize on one particular thing and
they you know they pounce on that advice over and over again. And sometimes the children they get
this notion that for my father, this is the most important thing. This is the most important thing.
		

			So if I can accomplish what my father wants me to accomplish, and if I neglect everything else is
absolutely fine. Well look man is teaching us is that as a father, you cannot only give one type of
advice. Here he's giving the advice about Tauheed about belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala making
sure that you don't ever give a belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala do not associate partners with
Allah subhanho wa Taala in this day and age, you know is not just associate partners with Allah
we're talking about today people not believing in Allah subhanho wa taala. So this is something that
look man is teaching his son, Allah subhanho wa Taala is advising the importance of respecting
		

			parents. Look, Omar is teaching his son that remember, wherever you are, if you do something Allah
is well aware of it. And not only that, but Look man, he's also taught his son the importance of
salad. And now we get into the next advice and Aquaman is giving to his son, and that is to develop
courage. Now the idea is Yabu Neha once again Lachman advising is in a very beautiful way, my dear
son like the way sometimes we make a refer to our son, as you know, Mina, you know, many beta, or
like, you know, like my dear son, so this is how he's addressing his son, and he gives him four
advices in this idea for advices advice. Number one, you have, When are your ugly masala? Oh, my son
		

			established your prayer. Now, we have talked about this before in the past, that the importance of
prayer and so forth, but what's important to understand is that at the end of this aisle, after
giving all four advices, look, Omar is saying to his son, in their Lika min, Asmin, or mod, meaning
that whatever the four advices I've given you to do, only a person of courage can accomplish
something, and he can accomplish all four advices. And what's important to understand when it comes
to courage is that courage is there are two elements to courage. Courage is building up strength
from, from internally or from within that no matter where it is, I'm going to do it. And then
		

			encourage also applies or implies that you're going to go out and you will face criticisms, and you
are going to face people who are going to be against you. And you have to go out and speak the truth
and so forth. And that is external strength that is required, interestingly, in the same idea that
he's telling his son, that you have to develop courage and courage, courage is a combination of
inner strength and external strength. Here he has given that what do you need to do in order to
build up that inner inner strength? And what do you need to do when it comes to external strength?
And this is why this advice look man is very beautiful, if you think about it. So what is that inner
		

			strength that he's referring to? Yeah, buena Aqua masala. Oh, my son, establish your prayer. Why?
Because when a person has established a prayer, when a person is cognizant of their prayer, when you
when we say that your schedule revolves around Salaat. what that implies is that you look at your
your entire day schedule, and you make sure that never disallowed get neglected. Wherever you are
making sure that you have a plan.
		

			To pray salad, and not only that, when we talk about salad, what if you're in public and the type of
salad occurs? Are you going to be more worried about what Allah wants? Or are you going to be
worried about what people are going to have to say about this, and people are going to look at you
and they will look, you know, they will have strange comments about this. And they will say strange
things about this. And they may look at you in a very strange way, and so forth. What exactly is
that this inner battle will be accomplished, you'll be able to overcome this battle, and you'll be
able to succeed inner internally, if a person has maintained their slot. And this is why if you
		

			maintain your salon, and you are punctual about your salon, and you're serious about your salon, and
when you're praying, you are cognizant of the fact that Allah is watching you, and this is what your
prayer is, then this person is going to have so much strength internally, that then doing anything
externally will become easy for them. See, Salaat is this is something that as fathers we have to
always emphasize upon our children, the importance of Salah if a person has a lot in their life,
then they will have a courage and they will have Allah in their heart at all times. This is why we
have also learned from the Hadith, that if a person's Salam is weak, their entire Deen will be weak.
		

			Every aspect, every department of deen and related to their life will become weak, but a person who
is very mindful about their sloth, and they are you know, punctual about their salon, and they don't
ever forego their slot. In that kind of situation. They will have that inner strength. Now the next
thing that Lachman is giving us he's selling his son is one more bill ma roof and one hot Anil
Mancha. Two things he says that advise people to do good, and tell people to stay away from wrong. A
you know, and the way we translate as enjoying good and forbidding evil. And what that means is that
always standing up for what is Huck always standing up on the side of what is right, always standing
		

			up for justice, always standing up against injustice. This is what local man is teaching his son.
And I want all of us to understand this because when we talk about our grandma roof and AI Mancha,
we have like a very cliche way of understanding this. See, let's try to understand this. As society
progresses, we're always going to have different norms, okay, we're going to have different norms,
norms, there was a time when expressing yourself that you have homosexual tendencies, for example,
was considered as a taboo, it was it was considered as taboo, people did not have a very favorable
opinion about this, but time has changed. And now people who express themselves that they have, you
		

			know, homosexual tendencies, and they have a, you know, they believe in this, and they have feelings
like this. Now, this is no longer a taboo in our society, things change, there might be something
that may be construed as taboo long time ago, but is completely acceptable, acceptable today, time
will always change, norms will always change, culture will always change. If there's one thing that
will never change. That is what Allah wants. And that is what the Prophet alayhi salam has taught
us, brothers and sisters, what we need to understand is that we cannot become a slave to our society
and the cultural norms of our society. At the end of the day, yes, there are going to be some areas
		

			of our deen that has taught us and they have told us that you can adopt certain cultural practices,
as long as it does not go against the tenants of our dean, and our faith. It does not go against the
practices of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam absolutely fine. But there are times when we
began to believe that whatever society dictates as right than that is right, and whatever society
dictates that's wrong, it is wrong. And what we need to understand is that no, this is not right. If
society says that there is something that is absolutely right, but Allah and His Prophet SAW, some
have said that no, it is wrong, that I need to give preference to Allah and His Prophet SAW Salem.
		

			And on the complete contrary, if the society says that there is something that is completely
unacceptable, but Allah and His Prophet Simon has taught us that it is acceptable, that is what I'm
going to give preference to. Hence, we have to stand up for what is right. This is the command
teaching his son, that no matter where you are, no matter what culture you belong to, no matter what
norms you live in, we have to always stand up for what Allah wants from us. And that means that if
Allah wants us to do something that is right, and society says that it is wrong. I am still the fact
that I am doing what is right. According to Allah subhanaw taala that is me encouraging people to do
		

			good. This is me encouraging others and promoting in society to do that which is right
		

			Our mouths move is not that we do what is right based on what society tells us. But it tells us it
teaches us to do that which Allah subhanho wa Taala has described and he has considered as
acceptable and permissible and the property Islam the same way. So brother and sister, this is what
this is what he's teaching him. This is what this is the key advice that he's teaching him that this
battle will always take place, society norms, versus Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah has to always be
given the priority. Also, we learned that when it comes to encouraging good when it comes to
promoting good, whenever you promote good in society, you are, in most cases, automatically, you
		

			will be negating and you'll be turning down the evil in our societies. You know, we believe today
that going to someone's house, or going on the streets in giving Dawa. This is the only form of
armor been modified in the Hanuman cutter. And this ideology, this perception is completely wrong.
Any person today in our society there are mashallah so many people.
		

			There are so many people doing good things in our community in our society. Unfortunately, today,
Muslims cannot stop fighting from within everyone is demeaning each other, everyone is saying that
whatever I'm doing is the best. And whatever anyone else is doing is not good enough. We think that
we're better than everyone else, we think that we're superior than everyone else. If there is
anything going on in the community, where they are trying to remove something that is bad, and
they're trying to replace what is bad with something that is good, it becomes our responsibility to
support that, it becomes our responsibility to advocate for that whether we are part of that
		

			organization or not. Whether we are part of that organization or not. If there is an organization
that's fighting hunger, that's good. We need to be part of that. If there is an organization that's
fighting against racial injustice, we need to be part of that. If there is an organization that
standing up for people's rights, we need to be part of that. If there's an organization that's
fighting for people, and you know, it might be a certain segment of the community, or being part of
them, we need to be part of that. And when there is any, any good that's going on in our community,
whether it is a Islamic endeavor, whether it is an an Islamic endeavor, I mean, meaning that it is a
		

			non Islamic endeavor, is an organization run by some by people who belong to other faiths, what
they're teaching what they're preaching is not an Islamic, it is Islamic in one way, we need to be
part of that too. So this is where we need to truly understand. And believe it or not, when we say
the life of the prophet saw Selim, he was no different. He was no different, the story of hateful
falloon, about the Prophet alayhi salam being part of a group of people that stood up against
injustice, that stood up against injustice, this did not happen. After the Prophet became a prophet.
This happened before the Prophet became a prophet. Meaning that the problem is and this is a very
		

			powerful lesson in this for all of us, that you don't have to be necessarily a very practicing
Muslim, in order to stand up for people in order to stand up for what is right and stand up against
what is wrong. But rather, if you are a human being, and you have any kind of human decency, you
will do that. The Prophet saw some he was even a prophet. This happened, you know, sometime before
he became a prophet, way before he became a prophet. In fact, it happened as some other Lama they
say that it happened perhaps, almost like 15 years before he be 1520 years before he became a
prophet. I mean, that's a significant amount of time. But that tells us that no matter what, who it
		

			is, we need to stand up for what is right and stand up against what is wrong. And then at the same
time, we also find that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he stood up for people, even if they
were not Muslims. This is something that's becomes a part of our responsibility. Today,
unfortunately, we live as Muslims, we live in our own community and we live in we live in a shell.
We live in our own cocoon, when there is someone in our community that may not be a Muslim. Today in
America, we see the systemic racism that is taking place. And we see how people, you know,
especially people of the African American community, and how they were treated by police, and the
		

			police brutality that was taking place. Now, a person can sit here and say that you know what, it
has nothing to do with me. They're not Muslim. I have nothing to do with it. No, that is where we
are wrong. The Prophet Allah teaches us. And if the prophet is on, we're here, he will also stand
for justice. He will say something about this, he would advocate that Justice needs to be served.
And those people who committed the injustice they need to be served justice, they need to be held
accountable. This is something that we learn from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to now the
next thing is that he teaches his son that first of all, establish your prayer through your prayer,
		

			you're going to have the inner strength
		

			And, and then you're gonna go out and you're going to stand up against injustice, you're going to
stand up for what is right. And when you do that, interestingly, though, people do have people are
supposed to have something called a moral compass. But yet you're gonna find some people who are
going to stand up against you. And the fact that you are doing what is right, and people are going
to stand up against you today. We live in a world like that, especially if you are in America today
you have seen, I mean, subhanAllah you know, when you see the last four years that have happened in
America, what kind of leadership we had here in the United States, and this person has no morals, no
		

			dignity, no character, no manners, no manners. Yet, when you have so many millions of people going
and voting for a person like that. What does that tell you? Like? Where is morals today? What is the
concept of character? Is it absolutely fine that I show support to a person who has no morals on
character? That's exactly what this aside, he's starting to become like, this is exactly what the
sizing become like. And when you have people who are standing up against what is wrong, you have
people who are standing up for what standing up in support of what is right. Then they're being shut
down. They're being shut down and Lachman is telling his son was better Allah, ma sabak People are
		

			gonna come, there'll be critical of you, but do not be afraid of them, be patient. And the Quran
teaches us that no matter what the situation is, you cannot be fearful of other people. When the
Quran when the time came to change the Qibla there was so much bad there was so much, you know,
criticism, there was so much backlash from the Jewish community. And there were saying things about
the Muslim community. And guess what Allah subhanaw taala says, fella, Tasha whom was shoni do not
make them the priority make me Allah the priority. And then after that, we also find a certain man
either Allah says that those who turn away from the deen of Allah, Allah will replace him with other
		

			people that in the light, the ayah is long, but he says that they will love Allah, Allah will love
them. At the end, he says, Wallah, your handphone alone Mattila in they will not be worried about
the criticism of other people. Today, one of the biggest things that we see today with our young
generation is that they're so worried about what others are going to say about them, in order to
stick to our deen, there are going to be times when we when we stand up against injustice or stand
up for for what is right, at times, we're gonna have to be patient, and we're gonna have to be, you
know, apply some perseverance in our life. And in doing that, we cannot be worried about what other
		

			people are gonna say about us, we have to stand up for what is right, and this is what our Dean has
taught us. And then finally, he says, once again, he says in Nevada, Mina, Asmin, or more. Now, one
thing I do want to mention is that look, man is not advising his son that go and take means or adopt
means to solve the problems in our society, in an unconventional way. That's not what he's teaching
him. He is saying, I'm a role model for what also means is that make sure that make sure that you
use conventional means use the right image to solve the problems. Today, brothers and sisters, I can
honestly say that social media may not be always a solution, because at times, you're going to come
		

			across one that was you know, some of the most ignorant people on social media Wallahi like I was,
when I say ignorant, it's an understatement, like how ignorant they are and how ignorant they can
become, like you're thinking you're thinking to your mind, and you're thinking in your mind, like
how ignorant can they become, but that's the kind of people you will find on social media. Yes,
social media can be used as, as a conventional means to overcome, and you know, to spread what is
right and to, you know, to push down what is wrong, but it's not the only means there are other ways
we can do this. But something that is acceptable in our society, that is where we have to apply. And
		

			so this is, you know, four beautiful advices given by Look, man, he's teaching his son number one,
establish your prayer. Number two, always center for what is right, always center for what is right.
Even when you see a person, any person who is a Muslim, stand up for them. And not only that, but
push down, push down, and negate and an advocate against things that are considered as wrong. And
when you do these kinds of things, you're gonna have people who are going to go against you in that
situation, be piercing, you know, apply some perseverance in your life, be strong, do not be worried
about what they have to say, Do not be worried about their criticism, do not worry about their
		

			threats, but you do what you have to do in Nevada Manasa mode if you have this, then you are
considered as a courageous person. You are a person who has courage who has mental strength,
physical strength, this is what nakoma is teaching his son. So we ask Allah subhana wa Taala that he
gives us also the ability as fathers to teach the same thing to our children. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala prepare our upcoming generations. May Allah subhanaw taala prepare them for the for the
challenges that will be coming forward. And not only that, will May Allah keep them on Iman May
Allah Subhan
