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

We continue our theme the Rowsell higher Anil Casilla Ambia vikita

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

Billa life lessons from the stories of prophets in the book of

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

Allah

00:00:40 --> 00:00:46

the Quran has a Surah Surah 31 Chapter 31 titled look man

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

and look man, a man who probably lived the time of Tao with Ali

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

Salaam

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

and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam is reported to have said

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

regarding the man according

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

to the law and who said to get assaulted when you could look man

00:01:04 --> 00:01:09

to be and well I can can I be done? Cuz he hasn't really again

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15

has not done cathedral some hamdulillah to Allah for familia

00:01:15 --> 00:01:20

Allah he will hikma Okama call Allah, the Prophet is reported to

00:01:20 --> 00:01:25

have said that man was not a prophet. But he was a worship of

00:01:25 --> 00:01:30

Allah, conscientious, deep thinking, positive in attitude,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

silent the orphan who loved Allah and Allah loved him. So Allah

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

wanted him Allah granted him depth of wisdom.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

Now, we can get lesson from the fact that Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:45 --> 00:01:51

document as part of his divine revelation, advice on a man gave

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

to his son. And this is captured in the surah

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

chapter 41 As I've mentioned,

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

now,

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

we are going to focus only on the Naseeha very briefly.

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

And each point is a lesson in itself for all of us.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

But it is absolutely relevant to note and most beautiful that look

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

man Ali salaam begins his advice by saying yeah, Boonie

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

In other words, when he's speaking to his son, oh, my beloved Son, oh

00:02:25 --> 00:02:30

my young boy a term of endearment. The same term we found earlier on,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

used by Ibrahim to sunny smile, and use by yaku ballet salon for

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

his son Yusuf Ali Salaam. In other words, Allah wants to highlight

00:02:41 --> 00:02:46

that it is one thing for a parent of a father to teach a son, but

00:02:46 --> 00:02:51

another to show love before even teaching him beginning with that

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

endearing term, follows nine particular points.

00:02:56 --> 00:03:02

First point, look man, Ali Salam advises his son regarding to heed

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

the Tawheed is the foundation of Islam, upon which all other

00:03:06 --> 00:03:11

teachings and all other practices of Islam depend and lean on.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

Point number three is also about the omnipotence and omniscience of

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

Allah, Allah, all powerful nature, and the fact that he has knowledge

00:03:21 --> 00:03:26

of everything. Point the METU immediately after it flows in the

00:03:26 --> 00:03:32

Quran exact Allah to be Shaya will be the word is what Kabbalah

00:03:32 --> 00:03:32

because that

00:03:33 --> 00:03:39

will be invalidated. Immediately after the command. To obey Allah

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

comes the command to respect parents. So the second point

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

immediately after the story, and in between to read and speaking

00:03:45 --> 00:03:50

about omniscience of Allah comes advice, respect for parents,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

because we come into the world through the agency of parents,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

they are nurturers, our caretakers, our protectors, our

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

sponsors and our supporters. The first one is

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

to establish worship.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:11

Because, hey by the Salah prayer is a manifestation of obedience to

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

Allah. And it is a submission in practice and it is an expression

00:04:16 --> 00:04:21

of one's faith. The first point is in joining what is right and

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

forbidding what is wrong

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

when

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

because evil and wrongdoing is a spiritual, a moral and a social

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

concern is a violation of human goodwill. It is an affront to

00:04:35 --> 00:04:41

human dignity. Cause must be avoided at all cost. The sixth

00:04:41 --> 00:04:47

point is the exercising of patient perseverance. Life is a test and

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

test requires our awareness that you go through challenges and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

challenges require patience, perseverance, and patience is not

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

only a virtue in Islam is an obligatory virtue is to you know,

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

be so

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

But he was salah, seek help of Allah patient persevere in prayer,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

look at how Allah link

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

emotional capacity for patient perseverance. And that was prayer

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

which is one of the highest forms of worship and one of the pillars

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

of Islam. So patience is an obligatory virtue, and it is

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

intimately tied to the practice of our faith. For example, the end of

00:05:22 --> 00:05:26

Surah Imran Allah says, Yeah, are you under the Amanu? Yeah, are you

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

already the AMA news bureau was our bureau Robbie, but Allah,

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

Allah, Allah, and numerous ayah in the Quran, oh, you will believe Be

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

patient, mutually manifest patients. In other words, try to

00:05:38 --> 00:05:43

assist and encourage one another to be able to facilitate patience

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

among yourself and Strengthen yourselves by mutual bond. So the

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

notion of patient perseverance as integral to our lives, and it's an

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

obligatory virtue. Number seven, the avoidance of arrogance

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to play Hadith

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

documented Bizzarri olbas Lara documented Hadith Allah Medina

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

Nisha Kula, which is Subhadra which is the INS of Iraq were

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

free. I didn't ask Kabira Allah, let me be grateful to you. Let me

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

be patient in my tribulations that will be small in my own eyes, and

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

high in the estimation of others.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:24

Number eight, to be moderate in social engagement. When you engage

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

people we are social beings. How we engage one another is very

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

significant. It's a reflection of our character. So be moderate in

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

social engagement, moderation and humility, whether in our talking

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

in our demeanor in our walking while

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

telling us what items shipped out the Mara in Hola, hello, darlin,

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

for Cora, he says, and turn the other cheek away from people in

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

pride. No walk was rudeness to the earth.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

Verily, Allah does not like any arrogant boasting.

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

The prophets of Allah Allah so most advice Mantova Allah refer of

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

Allah, whosoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will

00:07:05 --> 00:07:12

elevate him, and the ninth point, to be careful how we communicate

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

and how we use our words, and how we convey what we convey.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

Words have meaning and can have incredible power. He has the power

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

to inform or to inform, to persuade, or dissuade, it can

00:07:26 --> 00:07:31

hurt, it can heal. So consider careful what you say and why you

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

say what you say and how you say it. That's why another verse which

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

will often read in the hood, before the person's is killed

00:07:37 --> 00:07:42

Tunica in marriage, he says, we read the Naseeha yah, Armineh it

00:07:42 --> 00:07:47

Aquila Kulu, colons added up, oh, you will believe saying words that

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

are straight. Before you say I accept the person in marriage, who

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

will call and said either, if your words are say, you slip.

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

Your actions will come right. And Allah will forgive you your sense.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

So there is tremendous depth of wisdom and great ethical value in

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

these nine points of advice from man advice, that are timeless

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

advice that may be communicated from father to son, from parent to

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

child,

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

from fit to family, and through the ages, to members of society.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

And I hope I've done that here by giving the small talk to you in

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

sha Allah. May Allah make us walk in the footsteps of the prophets,

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

and learn from the wisdom of the wise, just, by the way, in a

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

humorous note, but it's true. They asked Luqman again. How did you

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

become wise? He said, observe the foolishness of the foolish and I

00:08:42 --> 00:08:47

avoided that foolishness. And as I said, I'm saying, Allah gave me

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

power to bring the dead back to life. But he never gave me the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

power to remove the foolishness from foolish people. So maybe be

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

of those who are wise and take wisdom insha Allah will my Yotel

00:08:56 --> 00:09:01

hokhmah facut oto Craven, cathedra Akula kolyada was tougher Allah wa

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

Salam aleykum
