If you study the life of the Prophet

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

ﷺ, and not only that but every single

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

Prophet that came in the past, there was

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

one job they all had, and they were

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09

what?

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

They were shepherds.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

And if you study the seerah of the

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

Prophet ﷺ, there are many ulema and shuyukh

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

that explain that why were they shepherds?

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

There's a reason why every single Prophet was

00:00:24 --> 00:00:24

a shepherd.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

Why?

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

Because being a shepherd builds up responsibility within

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

you.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

You have to wake up early in the

00:00:31 --> 00:00:31

morning.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

Being a shepherd means that you have to

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

be very patient.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

Being a shepherd means that you have to

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

protect your flock from the wild animals.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

So it builds up bravery in you.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

Being a shepherd means that when the animals

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

are doing, and you cannot even communicate with

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

animals, but whatever the animals are doing, you're

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

building up resistance, and you're building up patience.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

Something that every single Prophet needed.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

You're building up the understanding of cleaning, because

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

you have to keep on cleaning the place

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

over and over again.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

This idea of responsibility and cleanliness and so

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

forth.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

So there are so many things, so many

00:01:09 --> 00:01:14

characteristics that are built up within a Prophet

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

when they are a shepherd.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

And all these characteristics become manifest later on

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

in their life.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

The reason why I'm sharing this is because

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

that this is what we learn about the

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Prophet ﷺ.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

And if you study the life of the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

Prophet ﷺ, you also understand that he grew

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

up in the house of Abu Talib.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

Abu Talib was not a very rich person.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

In fact, if you say all the children

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

of Abdul Muttalib, it is mentioned because once

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

again, this is not the time and the

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

era of Islam.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

We're talking about before the era of Islam.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

So at that time it is mentioned in

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

some books of surah that when Abdul Muttalib

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

passed away, majority of his mirath and his

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

inheritance was not given, a very small portion

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

of that.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

And in fact, none of it was given

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

to Abu Talib, but rather it was given

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

to all the other children of Abdul Muttalib.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:07

Why?

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

Because Abu Talib was already married.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

Abu Talib already had children.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

Abu Talib already had a household.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

So the money was given to those who

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

did not even have even a wife at

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

that time, they never had a family.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

Logically, you make sense how things were at

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

that time.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

So Abu Talib was a very poor man.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

And the Prophet ﷺ grew up in that

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

same household.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

But never once did the Prophet ﷺ ever

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

complain to his uncle.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

Never once did he object to his uncle.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

Never once did he go to his other

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

uncles and say, you know, I'm living with

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

an uncle that is in a state of

00:02:41 --> 00:02:41

poverty.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

I want to go and live with some

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

other uncle.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

He always remained patient.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

And he grew up in a way where

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

he learned how to build himself up, where

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

he learned how to do hard work.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

And he got to the point that where

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

at the age of around 22, 23, the

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

Prophet ﷺ became an international, not even a

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

national, an international businessman.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

I mean, you have to think about the

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

confidence that you require in order to go

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

and talk to people internationally.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

Because there was always a language barrier, there

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

was always a cultural barrier.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

You know, there were so many other challenges.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

But the Prophet ﷺ, he became an expert

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

in international business.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

So, the question is that the Prophet ﷺ,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

he grew up and at the age of

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

25, he had all this, you know, he

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

had all these accomplishments at that time, all

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

these achievements at that time.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

Now, let's come forward all the way to

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

the time of majority of you who are

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

sitting here in this crowd.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

When you came here to this country, how

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

difficult it was.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

There were no masajid.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

Finding one masjid, you had to drive 20

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

-30 miles to get to one masjid.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

To get to one halal supermarket, you had

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

to drive for around 10-15, sometimes even

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

half an hour.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

And I remember back in the day, especially

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

for the families that are very strict on

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

zabiha and non-zabiha, they would have to

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

go to even further places and go and

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

cut their own chickens, just so that they

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

can have food for themselves.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

Things were difficult.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

And then not only that, but you had

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

to earn your money, send your money overseas,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

and even pay Uncle Sam at the same

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

time.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

But you know what that did with majority

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

of you, with the majority of our adults

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

who are sitting here in this crowd, and

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

majority of the adults who were immigrants to

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

this country?

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

It made you strong.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

It built you up.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

You don't get rattled by the small things

00:04:39 --> 00:04:39

in life.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

Even if there's a setback in life, you

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

know how to handle it.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:44

You are strong.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

The reason why I'm saying all this is

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

because when it comes to the current generation,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

we are raising the current generation the complete

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

opposite.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

Wallahi, the complete opposite.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

We went, you know, the adults over here,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

I was born here in this country.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

I was born and raised in this country.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

But majority of the adults who came here

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

to this country, you went through that difficulty.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

And you know how strong it made you.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

Yet instead of teaching your own children how

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

to, you know, putting them in a difficult

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

situation, or making them strong, we're doing the

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

complete opposite.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

We're making our children so soft.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

We're making our children, you know, giving our

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

children every single thing that they want in

00:05:32 --> 00:05:32

life.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

This is not gonna make them strong.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

And this is why subhanAllah, I'm just being

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

very honest here when I say this.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

Our children have, what do they not have

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

in their life?

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

If I ask you, what do they not

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

have in their life?

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

I mean, homework was a problem.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

Now you have all these AI and chat,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

GBT and so forth.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

You know, now they don't even put their

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

time into the homework and putting time into

00:05:57 --> 00:05:57

the essays.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

Okay, and at the end of all this,

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

at the end of all this, at the

00:06:03 --> 00:06:06

time of their graduation, khalas, give them a

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

Tesla, give them a car, a brand new

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

car and so forth.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

And not letting our children go through some

00:06:14 --> 00:06:14

difficulty.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

I'm not saying, let me understand, I want

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

you to understand what I'm not saying that

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

put unnecessary difficulty upon them.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

But let them make it for themselves.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

Let them go out and work hard.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

Let them pay their own bills.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

If they can get a job, they can

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

get on their two feet.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

And even I say this, if they have

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

to even go and flip hamburgers, let them

00:06:37 --> 00:06:37

go and do it.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

If they need to go and drive an

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

Uber, let them go and do it.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

But what's happening is that when we give

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

our kids over and over and over again,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

what's happening is that they have no understanding

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

of working hard.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

They have no understanding of difficulties in their

00:06:53 --> 00:06:53

life.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

And what happens is, the slightest difficulty, khalas,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

anxiety, I need to go to see a

00:06:58 --> 00:06:58

mental health professional.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

Okay, a simple problem in life, depression.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

I mean, sometimes you talk, I mean, I'm

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

always there for the youth, my doors are

00:07:07 --> 00:07:07

always open.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

But sometimes when you sit down with them,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

and they say, yeah, this is such a

00:07:12 --> 00:07:12

small issue, okay.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

And I'm going through a major depression.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

I mean, Habibi, you're not, this is not

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

a depression.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

This is you just not knowing how to

00:07:22 --> 00:07:22

handle your situation.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:23

That's all it is.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

It's a small issue.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

Which has then in turn, it has turned

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

into many divorces.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

Small, small issues in families, khalas, let's head

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

straight to the exit door.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

Small issues, small conflicts, let's head straight to

00:07:37 --> 00:07:37

the exit door.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

Whereas majority of our immigrant community, how many

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

problems do they not have?

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

They have so many problems too.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

You think they did not have mother-in

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

-law problems?

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

You think they did not have brother-in

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

-law problems, sister-in-law problems?

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

They had all these issues.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

But the point is, that we keep on

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

giving over and over again.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

And this is why, by the way, there

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

is a reference in the Qur'an about

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

this too.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He says, وَلَا

00:08:01 --> 00:08:08

تُؤْتُ السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَامًا

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

وَارْزُقُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَكْسُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

a balance.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

He says, do not give your money to

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

someone who is immature.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

Okay, the word as-sufaha can be translated

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

in many different ways.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

We're gonna translate it here as immature.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

Do not give your money to someone who

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

is immature.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

لَا تُؤْتُ السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

قِيَامًا The same money, Allah is saying, you

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

can use it for your own benefit.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

You can use it to take care of

00:08:44 --> 00:08:44

yourselves.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

The same money, do not give it to

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

them because they are immature about it.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

لَا تُؤْتُ السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

قِيَامًا وَارْزُقُوهُمْ However, you continue to provide to

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

them.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

وَارْزُقُوهُمْ Give them rizq.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

وَقْسُوهُمْ And keep on clothing them.

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًا And keep on saying

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

something that is right.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

And then he says, وَبَتَلُوا الْيَتَامَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحِ So a long time ago what

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

would happen is, if there was an orphan,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

and the orphan was in the company or

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

staying under the guardianship of a particular adult,

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

then the Qur'an is saying that when

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

that orphan comes under your guardianship, and he

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

comes with his wealth or her wealth, you're

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

not allowed to use that wealth unless you

00:09:31 --> 00:09:31

are poor.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

And you're taking care of that child.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

You need someone to take care of that

00:09:35 --> 00:09:35

child.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

But the Qur'an is saying, do not

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

use that yatim, that orphan's money, do not

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

use it.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

Additionally, the Qur'an says that you observe.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

فَإِنْ آنَسْتُمْ Look at the words of the

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

Qur'an, subhanAllah, beautiful.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:53

He says, جل وعلا, فَإِنْ آنَسْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ رُشْدًا

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

If they get to the point of rushd,

00:09:57 --> 00:10:01

just like, الخلفاء راشدون.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

Why rushd?

00:10:02 --> 00:10:06

Because Rashid, a person who's Rashid, he understands,

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

she understands the situation.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

They know how to make the right decisions

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

in their life.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

They're intellectual that they know the situation.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

The Sahaba, the Khulafa Rashidun, what was one

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

thing that was beautiful about them, they knew

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

the right decisions to make at the right

00:10:23 --> 00:10:23

time.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

It was not one decision every single time.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

They would study the situation and then they

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

will make the decision accordingly.

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

So the point is that Allah subhanahu wa

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

ta'ala saying that, when you see that

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

maturity within them, then you give them the

00:10:37 --> 00:10:37

money.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

You don't go and give them a phone

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

just because they turn 12 years old.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

You don't give them a phone just because

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

they turn 14 years old.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

Yes, there are times where then they need

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

to stay in touch with you.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

They're going to college, they're going to other

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

places.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

Khalas, give them the phone.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

Buy them a phone.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

But perhaps you don't have to buy them

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

the latest iPhone.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

Give them a flip phone.

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

Khalas, you wanna text me, right?

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

You love me as a father, okay?

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

You wanna text me so bad, I'll give

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

you a flip phone.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:04

You understand?

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

Give them a flip phone if they need.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

But we need to make sure that our

00:11:08 --> 00:11:12

children are taught how to be, you know,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

how to be responsible for themselves.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:19

How often do we see that parents spoiling

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

their children, giving them whatever they want.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

And this is why, I'll be honest with

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

you, this is why a lot of the

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

men also, they are so disconnected, they're so

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

connected, so connected with their parents that they

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

cannot be separated from their parents.

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

And hence then you have issues even when

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

you have men growing up 20 years old,

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

25 years old, yet they cannot make a

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

single decision in their life without the input

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

of their father and without the input of

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

their mother.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

And there are some who are so connected

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

that they will not do anything, they will

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

not even make a single decision in their

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

life without their parents' approval.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

And so when they become married, when they

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

get married, and the wife sees that my

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

husband is so connected and he's not even

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

like a true man, why?

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

Because he cannot make any decision in life

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

and he does not care about my opinion,

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

but he only cares about the opinion of

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

the parents.

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

You see, it's a domino effect.

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

It's a domino effect.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

It all started from some place, the way

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

they were raised and so forth.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

So I'm gonna finish on this.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

The point is, brothers and sisters, is that

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

as they say, you know, as they say

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

in English, and I might butcher this, tough

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

times make strong men.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

Strong men create good times.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

Strong men create good times.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

Good times create weak men.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

Weak men create hard times.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

It's a domino effect.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

And we're literally, we're going down the same

00:12:52 --> 00:12:52

trajectory.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

Let's not do that.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

Let's teach our kids how to be responsible

00:12:57 --> 00:12:57

in their life.

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

Let's teach our kids how to be strong

00:13:00 --> 00:13:00

in life.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

Give your kids their responsibility.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

I tell my own kids, you don't know

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

how to do anything, go search it up.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

What's not on YouTube nowadays?

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

What's not on YouTube nowadays?

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

Go figure out for yourself.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

When you have hit the brick wall, then

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

you come to me and I will help

00:13:17 --> 00:13:17

you out.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

But first figure it out for yourself.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

But they come to baba, mama, no, don't

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

worry, man, I'll do it for you.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:23

Okay?

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

Everything in life I'll do for you.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

Don't worry.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

And khalas, then they become weak men.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

So I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

because, well, I'm saying this because I care.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

And when you see the youth, the way

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

they are going forward, they're moving forward, later

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

on they may get that understanding when they're

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

probably 30 years old.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

But why at 30 years old?

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

At that time they're supposed to have two,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

three children by then, honestly.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:45

You understand?

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

And just at that time, there's just thinking

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

about, oh, now we need to get married

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

and so forth.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

This is the situation that we're living in.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala build our

00:13:53 --> 00:13:53

young men.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

the ability to help grow, you know, to

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

help give tarbiyah to our children in the

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

right way.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

our children the ability to remain on the

00:14:04 --> 00:14:04

sa'at al-mustaqeem.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:05

Ameen.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

Ameen.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:51

Ameen.
