			while we are spending so much time at home, we're working from home our kids are studying from home,
there's virtual learning taking place at home. We are and we're spending more time with our children
than before. What's important to understand is that many people ask this one question that what is
the most important thing I need to teach my children? What is the most important thing that my
teenage children boys and girls they need to learn when is when it comes to growing up what they
should, what should they be focusing on and so forth. The very first thing that we have to
understand is that children always will emulate their parents, you see Subhanallah so many times,
		

			even the career path, even the profession, whatever the children see their parents doing the end up
going into that same profession.
		

			If the father is a doctor, usually the children want to become a doctor, if the father is a is a
lawyer, or if they're an engineer, usually the children go in that area. If the father is a he plays
sports, they usually want to go in that area. This is why Imam was talking with Allah here. He has
written an entire book about growing about raising children, and the therapy of children. And he
writes that whatever you want your children to be, you become like that first herself. And so if we
want our children to have anything in their life, as a parent, we need to first bring that into our
own life. And that brings me to the next part of my football, which is that in life, what is the
		

			most important thing in our life? What is at the center of our life, because many of us growing up
overseas, when we came here to America, our kids are growing up here in America, but we were raised
overseas, many of us, and we develop certain traits and certain important aspects of life. There are
some of us that the most important thing is all about materialism, we compare ourselves to others
based on how much we have. There are some who compare each other based on how much of a social
status that we have, how much money I have, where are my kids going to school, where are their kids
going to school, finances, work family, we compare ourselves to each other based on these things.
		

			And brothers and sisters, what we have to understand is that many times the things that we are
chasing the things that are the most important aspects of our life, they will eventually fade away
in our life. Today, the friends that we have, do you really think that those friends are going to be
there in your future, friends come and they go, materialism comes and goes, social status comes and
goes, and everything else, many things that take place in our life, that we center our life around,
they will come and they will go. Unfortunately, we have made them the center of our life. And so we
teach our children the same thing. We teach our children sometimes that being competitive is the
		

			most important thing. compare yourself to others. Yes, as parents, we all have always been compared
in our life. We've always been compared to the other kid on the block. Because our parents want us
to see they want to see us succeed in life, that's fine. But if a person their goal of life is that
they're gonna always compare themselves to others. Today, you're comparing yourself to one tomorrow,
tomorrow, you're comparing yourself to another and the list will keep on going on and this race will
keep on going on and you will never be happy. Rather, what should be the goal of our life? What
should be at the center of our life are principles that will never die out principles that the
		

			Prophet said Allahu Allah, he was saying he referred to them as Allah. He referred to them as
character, things that characterize you things that really
		

			display who you are as a person. What should be the principles of our life is honesty, integrity,
respect, love, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude. These are things that we learn from Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi, wa salam, brothers and sisters today, look at the world that we live in. When
people talk about their parents, you don't ever hear people saying that I remember my parents how
much money they had, or the social status that they had, and what was their, their, their, their
status in society. We don't ever hear people talking about that. When people write about people of
the past, and how much they will revered and so forth. It's never about how much they had. It was
		

			always about these principles, how hard working they were, they were how, what kind of a visionary,
visionary, who they were, what kind of hard working person they were, how much honesty, forgiveness.
These are things that people usually remember. And this is what Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he
taught us this is who Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam was he taught us fairness in life, he
talks about balance in life, that if a person is so much family centered, the problem is some said
no to that a person who is so much centered around their own Ariba and their own spirituality, that
they neglect their family. The problem some said no to that also the Prophet Allah you some taught
		

			us fairness, equality, balance. This is what the Prophet salallahu it was something he taught us.
And that is what we need to teach our children is not about everything that we see around us, that
is going to really help us. It's about these characteristics. This is what we need to bring within
our children. This is what we need to bring within our youth today. Because that is what's going to
help them those things I talked about earlier, they come and they go these characteristics once it
becomes part of you, once it becomes part of who you are as a person. They don't go away when you
talk about the fairness of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so fair, so just he said that even
		

			if faulty were coming stuff, there will be consequences against her when he saw his own grandson,
going to the pile of dates that were given in South Africa, he cheated, the child took a date put in
his mouth, and the Prophet says some notes said no to that, you look at the life of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam, it was always about those principles of life that he focused on and that
is what we need to focus within our own children. When we when we spend time at home, that is what
we need to teach our children. Those are the things that we have to always stress upon. And the most
important thing, what is the most important thing that we need to focus on? What is the most
		

			important thing that we need to teach our children inshallah I mentioned that in the second part of
the whatever, I asked the lesson behind and what that will give us the ability to understand these
things. May Allah subhanho wa Taala build within our children these characteristics, these noble
characteristics that will help them inshallah in their life Amira Bella Alameen BarakAllahu li

was with him and surely and fusina Mr. Molina when you had the helo Flama Lilla woman union fella
had yella wanting to do Allah in alojado will actually want to show a number Hamedan Abdullah solo
about
		

			a very well known Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam narrated by Ibn Ibis or Viola
Anoma. He says that as when I was a child, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one time he was
with me, and he says, Yo, hula in need or animal Kalamata, Oh, child, I'm going to key teach you few
important fundamentals of life. He says, if Allah Yeah, that just for the law, yeah. Fosca protect
Allah and Allah will protect you. If Allah to Judah, who to Jack, protect Allah and Allah will be
always on your side. What does it mean to protect ALLAH to safeguard the orders of Allah subhanho wa
Taala always fulfill the orders of Allah subhana what to Allah what he does to ultrafast Allah. When
		

			you want anything you ask Allah you don't come to your parents first you ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
why he does the hunter first time Biller, you need help in your exams. You need help in life you
need help in your career before you go around looking for help from from anyone else. You ask Allah
subhanho wa Taala for success. What he has done the first time biller wa Alam no matter the widget
Tama O Allah O kabhi shaken lemon for okay Nabi che in but the Catawba hula hula that if everyone
got together and he tried to benefit one person
		

			Allah does not want that person to be benefited, they cannot benefit that person. Today, so many of
our children, so many of our youth, they think and they look at us as parents, that today we are so
worried about building a connection here and building a connection there and so forth, which is
nothing wrong with but we have not built the ultimate connection, which is the connection with Allah
subhanho wa taala. They believe that building connections and networking with other people is going
to bring them benefit but where we they have not realized from us from the parents that we have to
teach them that ultimately, it comes from Allah subhanho wa Taala that is what we need to teach our
		

			children. So I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the ability to bring and to teach our children
and our youth. These are the core concepts. These are the characteristics that we they need to
bring, look, go back and as I said, I've said this, so many times stay the life of the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how he was serving humanity, how he will put himself behind all the
time, and you worried about other people before him, and he will put people before himself. This is
who Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was, it was always about those characteristics that till
today we remember Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It's not about the house that he had, how
		

			many this had or how many that he had. It was always about those things, the characteristics that we
always need to focus on I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from amongst those who always put
Allah at the front of everything. May Allah make us amongst those who always focus on these key
characteristics and Mirabella Amin Allah homeless Islam on Muslim Ian Allahumma Islam one Muslim
