etc. What can I do to impact the world positively, it's very easy

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

for us to feel despondent

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

and then just take a backseat

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

and hope for the best.

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

The reality at the end of the day

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

is that there is something we can do.

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

The

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

In fact,

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

it's not just a possible solution.

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

It's something that we are obligated to do.

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

That that's none other than

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

providing

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

our children

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

with the sound upbringing

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

and a good example.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:59

If we look at every major figure in our history, that's impacted

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

society positively.

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

Right?

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

If we look at every major figure that's impacted our society

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12

positively, and provided positive change behind that individual,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:18

more often than not, I would argue 90% of the time, you would find

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

behind that individual was a parent who had very high

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

aspirations

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

and provided the child with a good upbringing.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

We should never ever underestimate what that can do.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

We look at the likes of Mr. Musharraf here I am Allah Allah

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

the likes of Imam Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah to Allah the likes of Imam

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

Al Ghazali Rahim Allah Allah likes every moment now when we refer

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

them Allah to Allah. The likes of remember Suki Rahim Allah to Allah

00:01:47 --> 00:01:52

the likes of Imam or rumley Rahim Allah Tala. Even Catherine de Oh

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

yesterday, more contemporary scholars the lecture of Sheikh

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

Mustafa slavery that actually of Sheikh Muhammad died Ramadan al

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

booty. Wala when we read the biographies.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

What stood out to me once every single one of them

00:02:09 --> 00:02:16

was motivated by the parents. Every single one of them had a

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

parent standing behind him that had very high aspirations, very

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

strong wool, and Tawakkol and Allah subhanaw taala and then

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

provided them with a good upbringing.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

That's true for

00:02:30 --> 00:02:39

most scholars, we do get we do get the the rare case the likes of

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

amendments to UT Rahimullah to Allah was an orphan. The likes of

00:02:43 --> 00:02:48

even hudgell hate me, Rahim Allah Allah, who was an orphan, and then

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

divine intervention came through. We don't know perhaps the parents

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

did have high aspirations but didn't live long enough to see the

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

success.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

So what's imperative for us

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

in today's time,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

is to ensure that we have very high aspirations for our children,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

and then to provide them with a very good upbringing.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

In fact, more

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

today,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

in today's time,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

it's more

00:03:23 --> 00:03:28

we are obligated to do so given the attacks on the morality of our

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

children.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

And given the attacks on the upbringing of our children, it's

00:03:34 --> 00:03:40

not only an optional thing now, it's not only you know, if I feel

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

like it, it's a necessary step for us, for us to take.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

And if we see the impact that these people had in society, the

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

likes of environment of us early the likes of Muhammad Al Fatiha,

00:03:55 --> 00:04:01

who conquered Constantinople, his mother from a very young age had

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

this aspiration for him.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:10

The likes of Sheikh Salah Kadena UB, who conquered Palestine, the

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

likes of Imam Al Ghazali on intellectual level, who took on

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

the shiny balconies at the time, we took on the philosophers and by

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

the way, today we still use Immanuel fatalis works to

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

understand philosophy. The first book you wrote was Maqasid will

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

philosopher the aims of the philosophers the second of the his

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

work was widely accepted, hidden is enrolled at the half

00:04:34 --> 00:04:39

philosopher, the incoherence of the philosophers. So on every

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

aspect, we see how the positive change that these individuals

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

brought into society that was fueled by the parents intentions,

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

the parents aspirations and the parents,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

the parents ensuring that they have a good upbringing and a good

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

education. Now, the reality

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

is that I don't think any individual who

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

argue against this. I don't think any individual who deny that he

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

wants this for his child but the the many of us feel like how do we

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

get the so Mr. Ma Rahmanir Rahim Allah Allah, one of the scholars

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

when we just mentioned

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

a 10th century chef, a Judas, one of the most important important

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

Shafi scholars, because we refer back to his work. So today in

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

order to know if any of the Shafi AI books contradict him, Ahmed

00:05:28 --> 00:05:33

Ramillies, books, those those views are put aside, and his book

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

is considered the preponderant view in the madhhab. So this is a

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

big figure we're speaking about. Remember Rahmanir Rahim Allah

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

Allah writes 100, roughly 100 lines of poetry,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

addressing the parents and the upbringing of the children.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

And so, I'd wish to touch on two three of these points that Mr.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

Romney puts forth, for us to ensure

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

that our children follow the same to the trajectory that the likes

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

of Mr. Romney and others had. One of the first things you mama

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

Romney says.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

He says,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:16

Are you born Noah Chu Lucia, told us Savi and Calima you

00:06:18 --> 00:06:25

he says, Be sure to busy your child or other the heart of your

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

child. So yeah uses the word.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

What Aidan Sugarland Sheriff, pelvis. Sabe uses the word hot

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

pile, which literally means hot, but the word call

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

and intellect the word hot and intellect and intellect is

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

interchangeable given the context. So the commentators on this verse,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

they use both,

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

they say the first thing you need to do, they tackle it from the

00:06:49 --> 00:06:54

intellectual side, ensure that the mind of the child is busy.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

With those things that are gradually developing his

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

intellect.

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

These are the commentators speaking, I'm just delivering the

00:07:04 --> 00:07:11

message. They say, lack of focus, and racing thoughts are

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

detrimental to the development of the child's intellect. And this

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

can be avoided

00:07:17 --> 00:07:23

by avoiding busying the child's mind with randomness directly,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

direct, directionless, content,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

whatever,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

the same email telling you, the child can sit down for four hours

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

with a book, the same email that they're not unrealistic. They tell

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

you know, they learn through play, they learning through play.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

However, what the minds are being consumed, consumed, consumed with

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

must be directed. You need to manipulate it in such a way that

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

the mind is busy with something that's beneficial. That gets him

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

thinking. Right.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

And then the commentators continue and they focus on the same word

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

from the spiritual aspect. And they quote the likes of Imam Al

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

Ghazali Rahim Allah Allah women because Allah says that what ever

00:08:09 --> 00:08:14

in this through the eyes and ears are channels to the heart, and

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

whatever images reaches the heart

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

that pollutes the heart, it's almost impossible to eradicate

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

after that. This is the words of a man of his early that didn't see

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

the internet that we have today. Right? So from a spiritual aspect,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:36

basically they say ensure that whatever interests the child to

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

his heart, through his eyes through his ears are not things

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

that are going to pollute his heart

00:08:43 --> 00:08:47

because it's impossible or close to impossible to eradicate it once

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

again. The beautiful point that Mr. Moran Lee mentioned here is

00:08:51 --> 00:08:55

what he says keep the child's mind to heart busy with those things

00:08:56 --> 00:09:00

that are beneficial and couldn't be my huge boon axial Adobe,

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

because it's going it's going to affect his credit it's character

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

later on. If what's interesting is pollution. If he's busy with every

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

random thing, statistically videos

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

for four or five hours straight what do we expect of the child?

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

What do we expect him to make of his life there after

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

right so if what's interesting is pure.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

And the development of his intern intellect is consistent and

00:09:26 --> 00:09:32

directed. You can expect good character but if the other the

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

opposite is true, then expect you gonna tell me that you will have

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

very little etiquette

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

and you won't necessarily be able to make anything of himself.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

My mom Rahmanir Rahim Allah Allah continues. You know, we've

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

mentioned the list a list of scholars, the likes of Imam Suki,

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

so I wish to perhaps just she mistook his relationship with his

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

father. Before we continue with the words of Imam Bromley in his

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

poetry. He was a mama

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

tsuchiura mulata Allah says his father

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

would send them to Imam and Mizzi Muhammad mmm Mizzi was one of the

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

great Madison one of the time and scholars of religion. And he sent

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

him to him as a hobby at the same time was also a scholar of Hadith

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

and a leading scholar in the science of religion. One day, Mama

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

Sookie the sun the sun is superior the father Sookie the sun is tell

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

you, Dina Sookie the father is the period in SOP, the son would go to

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

a museum and he's relating this in his autobiography. He says when he

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

came home when he comes home, his father asked him, What did you

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

learn from him? Is it today? You couldn't fully saw the pod in

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

tattooed. tattooed in a suitcase was one of the leading scholars of

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

his time, the chief judge, and I'd say Father, you couldn't. So you

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

would ask your son origin and buy music today. And then you would go

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

to a mother happy the next day and we'll come back. What did you

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

learn by my, my mother hubby today?

00:10:56 --> 00:11:01

Which beautifully demonstrates to us gives us insight that his

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

father was very up to date to this education.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

Right? Not just he's going classes some way.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

I'll see the report the end of the year. Every day when Mr. Mizuki

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

returned from from class. His father asked him What did you

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

learn today and challenge him on his understanding.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

Then remember, Sookie says his father never allowed us to sleep

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

the last third of the night. His father would wake me up as a young

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

child and say even if you're going to play, you're not going to sleep

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

this last portion of the night. Because I don't want it to become

00:11:33 --> 00:11:38

a habit of yours that you can wake up at this time. This hour will be

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

for 5g This hour and a half before Fajr mama so please wait himself.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

A father would never allow us to sleep the last third of the night.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:50

He would wake us up in many siblings and save even if you're

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

going to play around but you're not going to sleep this out. A

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

father that was involved in his child's education and not only

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

education, but his spiritual upbringing as well.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

In our suitcases, when he would come back from him as a hobby we

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09

will go to my mother who was very he was very happy with my mother

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

happy was a very approachable person you came from my mom Mizzy

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

wasn't too happy because for me she was an unapproachable person

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20

very stern person and for the child at that time, you know, we

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

just gives us insight to that they were normal human beings like you

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

and I

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

remember Romney Muhammad Allah Allah continues and he says

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

off the focusing on the heart and the mind of the child he says via

00:12:32 --> 00:12:37

the field be here and could Anil Joe Holly what could be handled

00:12:37 --> 00:12:42

fiscally what Burley woman or this bill could be well here in Baku

00:12:42 --> 00:12:47

lumen Lai settler who Amana protect your child from every

00:12:47 --> 00:12:54

sinner? Ignorant, treacherous liar, any individual who has these

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

characteristics, not let your child spend time with him? For in

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

our Salah bill

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

have the sabe

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

and sorbitol Ashari

00:13:07 --> 00:13:11

he says the secret and the cinema of Azalia Ron Allah Allah mentions

00:13:11 --> 00:13:15

as well. This is the secret to the upbringing of your child. He says

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

the secret of the saints

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

of their upbringing and how they

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

see to the nurturing of the children is what have the sabe and

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

Sofitel luxury they never allow the children to spend time in

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

people who are involved in sin. Straight up Let's call a spade a

00:13:34 --> 00:13:41

spade. Right anyone was involved in fiscal involved in was was

00:13:41 --> 00:13:47

involved in lying to the cheaters whatever the quality may be, never

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

allow your child to spin time in those people's company.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:58

Why is it the ba ba our nature we steal from one another you rub off

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

on me and rub off on you from you

00:14:01 --> 00:14:06

will soon and universally be inevitable model II

00:14:08 --> 00:14:08

Khalili

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he quotes the prophets of

00:14:12 --> 00:14:17

salaam who said that your character is that of your

00:14:17 --> 00:14:18

companion?

00:14:19 --> 00:14:25

Your character is that of of your companion. If you allow the child

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

in company that's not beneficial. What do we expect?

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

We're going to pour

00:14:33 --> 00:14:38

false in the glass and expect not to come out. Right? So the second

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

advice of Mr. Muhammad Rahim Allah Tala is what protects the children

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

from company that's not beneficial.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:51

He continues and this is you and I, as the parents and he says, oh

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

you father. Oh your mother

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

who has not yet

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

read himself of bad habits and sin

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

At the very least, he pleads to us at the very least, do not commit

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

those sins in front of your children.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

At the very least, if you cannot read yourself completely from sin,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

irrespective what it might be, at the very least, do not commit the

00:15:14 --> 00:15:18

sins in front of your children. Your child needs to see you as the

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

Father and as the mother in the best light as possible. You don't

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

have to be the most knowledgeable person, we don't have to be the

00:15:25 --> 00:15:30

most strongest person, we don't have to be the most wealthiest

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

person, but my son needs to see me as an upright person.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:39

So no matter what this means is that I struggled to hurt myself or

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

what no matter what the bad habit is that I struggled to read myself

00:15:43 --> 00:15:43

or,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

at the very least in my marami Rahimullah analysis, do not commit

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

to sins in front of your children.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

So after the intellect, and the heart, often ensuring that he has

00:15:55 --> 00:15:59

good company, after ensuring that you only display good character

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

to your child.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

He leaves one loss advice. And that's what that's

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

ultimately everything that we implement. Everything that we wish

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

to steer the child in a certain direction, will only come into

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

fruition through the will of Allah subhanaw taala one of the chef

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

Morabito Hajj, Muhammad, Allah Tala is quoted to have said that

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

when they asked about the upbringing of his son, who's also

00:16:28 --> 00:16:33

a great scholar, he said that he's tarbiyah of his child was Doha

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

rubber. He's telling me, his child was a DA.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:41

So after we have

00:16:42 --> 00:16:48

stressed and exhausted ourselves in ensuring that the child gains

00:16:48 --> 00:16:53

the good in education, the good companionship and did you display

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

good character. Last, but not least, you need to make dua for

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

the for the for the child, the average for our children needs to

00:17:01 --> 00:17:05

take preference over do anything else or anyone else.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

And if Allah subhanaw taala sees our sincere efforts

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

and when we are consistent in our efforts and consistent in our

00:17:15 --> 00:17:19

eyes, certainly Allah subhanaw taala will except my mother was

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

early is in Mama was early because Allah subhanaw taala chose him to

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

hurry, hurry because Allah Subhana Allah chose him to be Muhammad

00:17:27 --> 00:17:31

Buhari. The times are different, the challenges are more the

00:17:31 --> 00:17:35

distractions are more but the same Allah subhanaw taala exists, we

00:17:35 --> 00:17:40

need to experience have very high aspirations and ensure that our

00:17:40 --> 00:17:44

children are in good company receiving a good education and

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

Insha Allah, the need of the time, the challenge of the time could be

00:17:47 --> 00:17:52

seen to and solved with the next generation of our children

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

Bismillah in terracotta Allah we had an uncluttered interactive

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

view through that one and in hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Subhan

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

Allah Subhan Allah subhana Coloma behind the Ganesha

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

the interest of Furukawa to be like I was just asked to make one

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

announcement

00:18:06 --> 00:18:12

that sounds off is outside so we can visit the table of the of the

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

Duma and that they are selling diaries. We can visit and support

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

the organization in light of Arakata I know better than for the

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

month of your Santa Monica Monica live Broncos.
