			I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a couple of items that belong to sudut. Look,
man, and they belong within the passage in which Look, man or the Allahu anhu is giving advice to
his son. And typically at the occasion of a football tomorrow or a short talk, we begin from the
beginning of this passage, and we get through the first couple of hours and the time is up. And
there's so much more beautiful advice in this passage. And in most occasions, we don't get around to
them. Or if we do, we don't give them enough time. But there's some really beautiful pearls of
wisdom that allows the widow chose to mention in his book, and it's very beautiful that at the
		

			beginning of each of them allows the witness begins the ayah by saying, Yeah, bonia, my beloved son,
my dear son, when the yeah isn't asleep, meaning my small son, my young boy, it's a term of
endearment by the father to the son. In other words, Allah wants to highlight before, there's one
thing that the Father is teaching his son, but it's another that he goes out of his way to show love
before he even teaches him. He makes sure that the Son understands that the Father loves him.
Because a lot of times for especially for dads, it's not on autopilot, your children don't
automatically assume that you love them. Especially for fathers. They know automatically mom loves
		

			me. But they don't know automatically. Dad loves me automatically. They assume dad is usually angry
at me. So dad has to go out of his way to say son, I love you. Then start the advice. He can't just
start the advice. And this is I mean, you guys have experienced this in life. Maybe with your own
fathers and your own children. Every time you try to give them advice. Oh, here we go again. You
know, it's because and when the mother just puts her arm around you or sits you down and says come
sit here next to me. And then she gives you just listen, because it's mom. It just you just melt so
the Father has to go out of his way to make sure the son listens. And this father somehow Allah the
		

			advice he gave the thing he just wants his son to think about something and he says imnaha into
comas Allah hubbardton fee harden.
		

			Imagine that there is a mustard seed photography saga, it's this tiny little mustard seed, little
tiny thing, and it's inside of Boulder. The seed is stuck inside of Boulder.
		

			And it could be any Boulder. Now imagine he wants him to find that seed. He wants his son to find
this little seed. So the son might ask So where am I and by the way, Safra is a huge rock, a rock
the size of a room or rock the size of this hall. So huge rock and what are you looking for inside
that rock? A little tiny seed. The first test for the son is to see where's this rock? Unless so the
his father tells him but I couldn't fit somehow it opened
		

			it somewhere in the universe.
		

			He tells his son this this rock can be found somewhere in the skies or the earth it could be on this
planet, it could be somewhere else in some other galaxy far away. And now that we know how big the
universe is, you know how many possibilities there are. And even if we didn't if we just said fill
out on the earth, how many rocks are there on the earth?
		

			And now your job is to find the seed.
		

			But if you're going to find the seed, what do you have to do with the rock?
		

			If it's inside deep inside the rock, what do you have to do to the rock? You have to smash it you
have to break it. So what kind of power will it take to break a rock? And even if you break the rock
let's say you have the technology broke the rock you found the right rock which is almost
impossible. And then you broke it and you broke it into two halves. Does it guarantee that the seed
will be right there in the middle? Or is it possible inside it's inside this half are inside that
half.
		

			So you break it up into small pieces. You take this gigantic rock this boulder and you break it up
into rocks this small
		

			is it guaranteed you
		

			Found the CD or it could be inside any one of those small pieces. You literally have to smash the
boulder into pieces that are the size of the seed. And now how many pieces do you have pieces that
are the size of a boulder? Because if you break it up it's still that size and within those billions
of little tiny specks What do you have to find? A seed.
		

			In other words, the father is telling his son, there's a secret and the secret is hidden on top of
hidden and top of hidden
		

			and it's so well hidden that it's impossible even in your imagination to discover it.
		

			In in Takumi thought mythical 110 min harden made of made of, you know, Katana mustard seed
photography sutra, Officer Malati ofin or the LTV Allah Allah will bring it out
		

			a little bring that seat and Yeti interestingly enough in the Arabic language as opposed to yo j
behave like Java and Arabic means to bring something with some effort. Some big thing a major
project Java something that's casual, easy Yeti, no problem Allah will just bring it up a little
pull it out. Yeah TV habla in Omaha lottery fun hobby, was the quality of Allah mentioned by the
father to his son is Allah is precise, he's subtle. The thief is a very interesting, you know,
quality. Just because somebody is powerful does not mean that they are precise, does not mean that
they're precise. You have the power to break the rock but you don't have the precision to find that
		

			little sea. So power itself is empty. It's It's pointless without precision. That's why Allah has
power is coupled with his precision his leaf. So Allah describes For example, when waterfalls when
waterfalls, every dream, every drip, every drop of water, a Saba he targets it like an arrow is
shot, like a lion knows where every drop is going to fall precisely. Precisely. When the nation of
loot is destroyed. For example, without a Salam. Allah describes that the rocks muscle were met and
they were named. Every little pebble that fell from the sky had the name Who's this bullet written
for? And where's it gonna shoot him? Talk about precise sniper fire.
		

			It's coming from the sky with a name on it. It's got engraving on it. This is meant for that guy
that's going to kill him in this way. So panela that's precision of Allah. So he says the thief and
then Habib, Habib, meaning allies, not only is the precise, allies fully knowledgeable, fully aware,
he's telling his son this so the son appreciates how powerful Allah is. And the son has a new
appreciation when you know how you tell your children. Hey, kids, remember, I'm going over there but
Allah is watching.
		

			Allies watching and the kid goes, Yeah, I know it was watching. Yeah, I know. I got it. I got it. I
was watching. He wants his son to appreciate what does it mean I was watching. What does it mean
there's nothing secret to Allah. So he wants to give him a very powerful example. What we're
learning here also is that the Father goes out of his way he thinks, how can I teach my son this
lesson? And he went out of his way to figure out well, maybe if I teach him this way, it'll stick in
his head. And Allah likes his example so much he made it part of the Quran.
		

			He made it part of the Quran, this beautiful example. And of course, this example is inspired by the
wisdom Allah had granted Look, man to begin with, well, the Allahu anhu. So now that you know Allah
is watching, now he gives him the advice. First it was about Allah, then he gives him the advice.
And so he says Yamuna yupptv salaat I son pray, established a lot. And it from Wanaka. Vina Yamuna?
Yes honey.
		

			Well, let me open the oven as well. My son pray. He said Yamuna, Yaki masala established prayer.
institutionalized prayer. establishment as an image in the Arabic language is to build something is
to make something stand. It says though, everything else can be moved, but the pillar in the
building cannot be moved. You can move the furniture but you can't move the pillars. So in your day,
everything else can move. In your day the doctor's appointment can move, your work schedule can move
the meeting can move, lunch can move, dinner can move. salaat cannot move. slot is in its place. Son
understand this. My son, I want you to know you have to establish a lot. optimists are not what
		

			motivate him out of 101 cap was parama saavik. I'll leave you with this. Once you establish a lot.
Once you understand what it means to make time for a law no matter what
		

			Then there are there are going to be some effects of salaat on your personality. And these effects
are not just inside salaat these effects are also outside salaat. If Allah will bring out even a
seed on Judgement Day, which means a lot will bring justice on Judgement Day, not even a seed will
escape. If that's the point, then a Muslim becomes very concerned with justice. And every single
salata reminds the Muslim that the day of justice is coming. And a Muslim has to be fair in his
life, and her life and a Muslim has to make sure people around them are doing the right thing. So a
natural consequence of salad of really establishing salaat, what would have been my roof 111 Cup,
		

			make sure you encourage and instruct people and advise people to do the right thing
		

			you are in you made a lot. And you go back into the meeting at the office. And when you're at the
meeting at the office, they're saying you know, our client, he's given us you know, he's got a
little seems like he's got a little extra money to spare. So we should bill in a couple of 100 extra
hours, even though we haven't done the work, they will mind they don't care. You just came out of
slot. You say No, we didn't do that work, we can put that on the hours. We cannot sign out. I can't
sign off on that.
		

			You're standing around in your meeting at work. And people are making fun of an employee that's not
there. You stand up whether you like that employee or not. It's not right. He's not here. We
shouldn't do this. You said what made you do that? Why are you talking like this? Why are you
standing up for the guy because I pray. That's what prayer teaches me to stand up for the right
thing. I'm not going to extend by corruption anywhere else in my life. That's what it means to
establish a lot. So he's teaching his son just because you pray that's not enough. That's because
just because you pray, that's not enough. And it's beautiful that Allah give the example of a seed
		

			what's supposed to come out of a seed.
		

			A plant, the salaat is like the seed. But if the seed you never want it never you've never turned it
into a plant the fruits of that seed. They never come out. What are the fruits of that seed? I'm
gonna be Naropa and the Hanuman cow.
		

			When I'm done having one cup Mahabharat what's what kind of slot is this? It doesn't make you enjoy
and good and forbid evil. What is that? What spear Allah masaba cannon, that's the final advice in
this ayah Be patient over whatever targets you. Because when you stand up for the right thing, or
you speak out against the wrong thing, in the house, at the office, in business, with business
partners, with the employee, with the employer, with the coworker with the person you're writing
with in the car, when you speak out and say the right thing, they might get upset with you. They
might not like what you have to say nobody likes justice. Let me tell you around the world, you talk
		

			about justice, you get in trouble. You tell your dad, I don't think that's fair Dad, I don't know if
you should have paid him his full salary. I don't know if you should have done that. Who you kid.
		

			Who are you to talk to me like that. Nobody likes to hear about justice. Nobody likes to hear about
fairness. So you're gonna have to be patient with the consequences of speaking out what's better,
allama sabak. And this is a cycle because when your patience is tested, you will need strength. And
after a few hours, you go back to a love for salaat and you gain your strength again. And then you
go back out again and you stand up for the right thing again, and you cycle like this. He's turning
his son into a leader.
		

			He's turning his son into a role model. This is what Islam is supposed to look like. This is what
salon does. I'll leave you with this last bit of thought when for example, sure, I think his salon
was complaining about the economic you know, irregularities of his society. They told him his people
told him does your salon prevent you?
		

			You your slot prevents you from doing your slot commands you thought it your slot prevents or
commands you to tell us what to do. Just go pretty man go printing the machine why you bother us in
our business. But your IRA understands salaat means that you learn the importance of justice. You
learn the importance of justice, on the day of judgment, which means you make sure that you become a
source of justice even in this world. May Allah azzawajal help us understand the implications of our
Salawat all this salaat we're making in Ramadan. Let's turn those seeds into plants. let's establish
some justice in our homes in our workplaces in our businesses. barakallahu li walakum wa salaamu
