			When you talk about the breakdown of family,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			how many times is it because someone will
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			wrong their spouse because their parents told them
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			to wrong their spouses?
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Now, a lot of times the spouse tells
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			them to wrong their own parents and you
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			can't ditch your own parents for the sake
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			of your spouse.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Your parents always have that daraja.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			But you also can't let your parents make
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			you wrong your spouse.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			So you have to establish the huqooq, you
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			have to establish the right of Allah ﷻ.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			So Allah is saying be for justice even
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			if against yourself, even if it's your own
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			parents and even if it is your own
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			kinsmen.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			SubhanAllah, in a tribal society, you're being taught,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			you never resort back to, well, that's my
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			brother, that's my sister, that's my tribesman.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			And so they're always right no matter what.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			And I'll actually say this specifically to the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			social media warriors.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			All right, we have social media tribes, right?
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			The Muslim Twitter, Muslim Instagram, Muslim Facebook, Muslim
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			YouTube, Muslim TikTok, and none of it is
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			very Muslim-ish at all, right?
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			But you got these cliques that form.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			And your guy is always right.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			And the guy that you hate is always
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			wrong, right?
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			There's no justice.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			There's no adl here.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			And Allah is telling you establish justice, be
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			accountable and go back to Allah and the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Messenger ﷺ.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			And then your worldview and your world structure
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			will fall back in a way that is
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			pleasing to Allah ﷻ and pleasing to you.
