			Yesterday we finished the 16th judges in 16 Jurors Allah subhanho wa Taala brings so to have to a
conclusion, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada we find the Quran Surah Maryam and surah Taha regarding Surah
Maryam is one of the most beautiful students in the Quran. Because this is a Surah where Allah
subhana wa Taala talks about his Rama and his mercy. In fact, in the Surah, Allah subhanho wa Taala
mentioned his Rama there were Ramadan mentioned 16 times in the Surah. So again and again and if you
think about it, it's not a very big Surah compared to the sutras preceding this, this is in fact
probably a quarter of a juice, but in this small chapter, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions Rama 16
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:22
			times. Now, what is the surah about? See ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala for the beginning of mankind from
Admati ism all the way till today and to the Day of Judgment, Allah has created a system. People
have children, those children become parents, they become grandparents, and the system keeps on
going on. This is how it has has always been. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala also understands that as
human beings as parents, we always want to leave behind the best for our children. We always teach
our children the best that we know. In fact, all the time parents parents are always asking that
what can I do if I want to live leave behind a living trust for my children, I want to leave wealth
		
00:01:22 --> 00:02:02
			behind for my children. So it's something that is very common that we always want to leave something
behind for our children. Sudha Meriam teaches us that what should be the key thing that we want to
leave behind as inheritance for our children. It's not wealth that we need to leave behind for our
children. As much as it is the wealth of deen and the wealth of Eman. Every parent should strive.
And every parent should be making dua to Allah subhanho wa taala. And they should be working very
diligently to ensure that if there's anything I leave behind for my children, even if I don't leave
wealth behind for my children, I make sure that I leave with them the wealth of Iman and the wealth
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:45
			of them. And from beginning to the end, this idea that I want to have children and what should be
the goal this has been highlighted from beginning to end and Super Mario. So let's let's quickly go
through this first Allah subhana wa Tada mentioned the story of Zachary yachting, Islam when Zachary
Yata has some saw that Allah subhanho wa Taala gave fruit off season fruit to Maria Medina has set
up what did he say that if Allah subhanho wa Taala can make something like this miraculous happen
then Allah subhana wa Taala can grant me a child also. And it was not the fact that he just wanted a
child but it was for the fact that I want to have a child so that my lineage in Deen can stay
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:27
			permanent in my family and that can happen when I have a child so he made to our to Allah subhana wa
to Allah and Allah subhanho wa Taala gave him Yatta you sit down, then the next story that is
mentioned in the Surah is a story of Miriam. And also in the case of money and money get Saddam we
find that her mother wanted a child why? Because so that that child can serve the cause of deen and
be a worshipper in an IB to Allah subhanho wa Taala and Allah subhanho wa Taala had destined and
will that she will be given a daughter by the name of Millennium and Allah subhanho wa Taala and
then mentions this story in the Quran. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala brings us to the story of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:11
			Ibraheem Alehissalaam. Now, the story of Yeah, in the story of a Saudi son, both of them we find in
that same sutra, that their parents were righteous, and they were also righteous. So Allah subhanaw
is teaching us that one of the ways that we can leave the in behind for our children is that as a
parent, we have to embody religion. We have to embody Deen in our life in order for our children to
become righteous. And both of them they had a very similar rhetoric. They both talked about
respecting parents, they both talked about the importance of adopting their Deen. So these are two
prophets who did the same. And by the way, these were also the two prophets, by the way, that when
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:53
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he ascended in Israel in mirage. It was on the second sky
that he met her a Saudi salaam, and yada yada, he has some together, because both of their times
were also very similar. And they were around each other during their times. Now we come to the story
of Ibrahim alayhis salam, and he brought him out to you some story is slightly different, where you
don't have a righteous father, rather a father who will carve out idols, a father who will bring
people to the Shinnick of Allah subhanho wa taala. And you have a son, who is an abbot, you have a
son who's a prophet of Allah, Allah, he's Salam. So in this case, Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us
		
00:04:53 --> 00:05:00
			that yes, there are going to be circumstances also there are going to be some situations where the
father and the parents
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			It may not be righteous, but the children are going to be righteous. But once again the idea is
still the same. If that person is righteous, that inshallah Allah subhanaw taala will give him
righteous children. And in the case of Ibrahim alayhi salam, yes, his father was not righteous, but
he himself was righteous. And as a result Allah gave him who Allah gave him, it's, it's married, and
is happily Islam, and both of them were Gambia and both of them were prophets. And then Allah
subhanho wa Taala he says that if we want to have children and we want to teach them Deen, what is
one of the key things that we can do we see from the story of is married on Instagram, and the same
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:23
			surah Allah subhanho wa Taala says about him, what kind of Moodle a hula hoop is Salah T was Zakka
that he will always encourage his family to praise a lot and give Zakat and then right after this
Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions Hola. Hola, Dena, and I'm Allahu Allah him, meaning Sabina mzuri,
Yeti Adam, there are some lineages that Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed the Children of Adam
Allah He Islam woman Zulu yet like him Allah Allah may Allah be ina Missoula Yeti Adam, well me
Muhammad Allah I know. And those children, not the children who did not board the ship. In the case
of naughty you some the ones who were on the ship, not the ones who were who stayed away. Woman on
		
00:06:23 --> 00:07:08
			Dorothy Brahim Omen Zuri. Yeti Ibrahima was a straw in the children of Ibraheem Alehissalaam and the
children of Israel eat. By the way Israel is in reference to Jacoba Islam Okay, when Allah Saba how
much is Islam in his dimension? That means yaku barring some when Allah says Bani Israel, even the
Quran is in reference to the children of Jacoba Salaam. So then Allah subhanho wa Taala then says
either to allow him to run when the Ayat of Allah subhanaw taala, recited upon them, they fall into
sujood and then Allah subhana wa Taala mentions to all of us as parents, what is that one thing that
you and I we need to really strongly push for in our children, for Hunter from embody him healthful,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:47
			outdoor solid, what about OSHA have worked for so for over a year, they always make sure that you
are pushing for Salaat make sure that our children have the importance of solid because those
generations that they wasted their salons Allah subhanho wa Taala they fell eventually into
temptations and in their desires. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala comes to the ending of the surah and
Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions here that just like you and I as human beings, we always want to
have children. Even nowadays, when parent when newly couples when they want to delay having children
eventually the time comes that they say that we need to now have children. So Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:25
			has created this this natural element in our life. But Allah subhanaw taala is also telling us that
there are people who try to assign ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala children thinking that Allah subhanaw
taala perhaps needs children. Now a little bit of luck, at the very end of the surah Allah subhanho
wa Taala tells us that human beings are separate and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala separate lays second
mystery he shaped just like we feel the need to have children. Allah does not need that does not
have that desire in that need to have children and hence the surah finishes off on the note that
Allah does not have children. Yes, we have children. But Allah subhanaw taala does not have
		
00:08:25 --> 00:09:04
			children. So once again, this is why I'm mentioning this is because when we read a sutra from
beginning to end, we don't know the theme of the surah. We have no idea what's going on. And hence
we don't have any appreciation. Now finally, I want to finish on this. The story of Ibrahim Ali is I
want to come back to the story of Abraham Ali's son. Here you have Ibrahim Ali some dealing with a
have not we he's dealing with a father, who is not willing to understand a father who is comparable
to the ship of Allah subhanho wa taala. And not only that, but he's also considered as a senior.
What we learned from these few years is how do we deal and how do we talk to our singers? How do we
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:46
			talk to our senior parents, because see, there's a there's a natural part of life, that when you
have children, they are children, they have some certain characteristics in life is a full circle
usually. So when people eventually when they become parents, adults, and so forth. Eventually as
they become seniors, there are some I'm not calling them children, I don't want to cross a boundary
of respect. Here they are our seniors will always have respect for them. At the same time, there are
some aspects or some characteristics that again appear in their life as it was in the beginning of
their life and hence life is called a full circle. So what happens that in that kind of situation,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:10:00
			how are we supposed to read how are we supposed to treat and work with our seniors? This is what's
mentioned here in these ayat, first of all is Allah subhanho wa taala. You mentioned that Ibraheem
Alehissalaam referred to his
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:43
			Father as yeah birdie. Four times in a row. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, but the ability, which
shows that when we are talking to our singers, especially when it comes to our parents, we always do
treat them and we all always refer to them with the highest level of regard the highest level of
respect. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says that Ibrahim Ali Islam He began by saying, Yeah, but the
limita Abu Duma, Allah Yes. Now, when you will sit What are you doing on kashaya that from this, we
learn that when we talk to our seniors, rather than condemning their actions, if they're doing
something that is wrong, rather try to bring up the aspect of logic, see Ibrahim it, Sam, he
		
00:10:43 --> 00:11:22
			understands that if I tried to go straight forward to my father, he's not going to understand. So
let me try to take the route of logic. And he's asking his father, that how can you please explain
to me that these are rocks, neither do they listen, neither can they hear and see. And not only
that, but they cannot give any kind of benefit. So it brought him on in some is taking the route of
logic. And what happens when, with especially when it comes to our seniors is they have seen so much
of life and they understand life so much, that a lot of times going the route of logic might be the
best way trying to help them understand the situation. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says why Rahim,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:12:05
			Allah Islam, that the next approach was knowledge. So after logic, it came down to knowledge. And he
says, Oh Allah, he's telling his father that Allah subhanho wa Taala has inspired me with wine and
he's telling him Yeah, but the in ecology anemia in me man, I'm yeah Tikka factor. We are in the
DECA Surat and so we that Allah has given me where he and ALLAH SubhanA has not grant other people
working. So I understand what I'm saying. I'm not just making up something from the from thin air.
So from logic, it went to knowledge and then it went from there to compassion and mercy once again,
as I said in the beginning of that, as I said earlier, that in the Surah, Allah mentions his Rama 16
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:54
			times, so when when it comes to talking to our parents, we have the highest level of Rama and mercy
when talking to them and highlight mercy. So he says, yeah, a birdie in the halfling Emma Sokka
Adama Rahmani Fattah coonelly che corny one ear before this Allah, he mentions Yeah, but at the top
of the shape on the Oh my father do not worship Shavon in the shaytaan I can live Rahmani RC and
look at the wording here is very beautiful. He's not talking about how worse shaytaan is. He's
highlighting the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala he's saying in the shavasana cannot live ramen
that shaytaan was disobedient to the ramen. He's highlighting Allah and His mercy. And then he's
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:34
			again in the very next idea. He's saying yeah, but the in the halfling Yama Sakura Addabbo Minar
ramen, for the goons for the coalition only Well here again, he's telling him that I'm trying to
protect you. And I'm I'm fearful that something may happen to you and come to the ramen to come to
Allah subhanho wa Taala so what we learn from these few ayat is that especially when we're talking
to our seniors, we have to have the highest level of regarding respect. Number one is tried to go
the route of logic after logic tried to go the route of knowledge, our seniors, they love to talk
about knowledge, they love to talk about intellectual things. And then after that, you go the route
		
00:13:34 --> 00:14:16
			of Rahman and Rahim and mercy and show them the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala and finally, if not
in this surah we find in another Surah So a local man, Allah subhana wa teaches us that when it
comes to the point oh, by the way, so Maria, after this when when his father was fed up, what did he
say? What do you brought him out to you some say? That he just like show like a disregard like a
disrespectful attitude. What do you say? He says Salah Munna, alayka style, Finola, Robbie, may
Allah has peace and mercy be upon you and I will seek forgiveness for you. What are others Zuko
Mamata their own Amin dunya Allah He was Robbie. Allah then mentioned that he left his father, but
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:32
			because Ibrahim was a good person, Allah subhanaw taala granted him children that they they became
prophets and Gambia. Now, in a situation like this, what do we do when it comes to our own parents,
perhaps? You know how many times youth they come to me and they say,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:59
			when I'm trying to work with my parents, when I'm trying to talk to my parents, sometimes I cannot
get through. This is a very common thing. And the reason why is because our parents grew up
overseas, and our children have grown up here. And a lot of times there's a communication disconnect
and so forth. But our Quran teaches us that when it comes to our senior parents, you might try to
explain to them a concept. You might try to advise them and they don't want to listen at all. Does
that mean that we leave our parents? No, it means
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			We still keep on giving them company. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned so Look, man, that he gave
an advice to his son, that if that time comes we're in Tjahaja Allah and to Sri kabhi Malay, silica
be here in one fella two, three or Huma was Sahiba who Macedonia Moldova, that you don't have to
necessarily obey your parents if they are telling you to do something that is wrong. If they're
telling you to do something that is wrong, you don't have to obey them. But then Allah subhanho wa
Taala said was Sahiba Houma fit dunya meroofer be there with them. Give them your company, if
there's one thing that our seeing your parents want, especially we see in America overseas, there's
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:15
			so many people around them all the time, but in America Subhanallah you see that our households,
everyone has a job, everyone is working our college going students, they go in the morning, they
come back at night, our seniors are left all alone. That's the reality in our in American, forget
about non Muslim household, our Muslim households, this is the case they get left behind and they
get left alone. And so if there's one thing that they want so much is companionship, someone to talk
to someone to interact with, our Quran teaches us was Sahiba who Macedonia meroofer The Quran does
not tell us that you sit there and correct them. The Quran simply says give them your company, give
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:48
			them your love, and so forth. So this is something that we learned from the stories of Ibrahim
alayhis, salam, and so forth. Once again, we went through sort of Meriam what is sort of money and
all about and then in particular, we went through the story of Ibrahim Ali some in some of the
lessons and reflection from the story ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us amongst those who are
who learned the Quran and then apply in our life and Mirabal Allah mean, does that como la Hey,
salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh in Mussolini now almost Lima Do you want meaning Mina on
