We continue our theme the Rowsell higher Anil Casilla Ambia vikita
Billa life lessons from the stories of prophets in the book of
Allah
the Quran has a Surah Surah 31 Chapter 31 titled look man
and look man, a man who probably lived the time of Tao with Ali
Salaam
and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam is reported to have said
regarding the man according
to the law and who said to get assaulted when you could look man
to be and well I can can I be done? Cuz he hasn't really again
has not done cathedral some hamdulillah to Allah for familia
Allah he will hikma Okama call Allah, the Prophet is reported to
have said that man was not a prophet. But he was a worship of
Allah, conscientious, deep thinking, positive in attitude,
silent the orphan who loved Allah and Allah loved him. So Allah
wanted him Allah granted him depth of wisdom.
Now, we can get lesson from the fact that Allah subhanaw taala
document as part of his divine revelation, advice on a man gave
to his son. And this is captured in the surah
chapter 41 As I've mentioned,
now,
we are going to focus only on the Naseeha very briefly.
And each point is a lesson in itself for all of us.
But it is absolutely relevant to note and most beautiful that look
man Ali salaam begins his advice by saying yeah, Boonie
In other words, when he's speaking to his son, oh, my beloved Son, oh
my young boy a term of endearment. The same term we found earlier on,
used by Ibrahim to sunny smile, and use by yaku ballet salon for
his son Yusuf Ali Salaam. In other words, Allah wants to highlight
that it is one thing for a parent of a father to teach a son, but
another to show love before even teaching him beginning with that
endearing term, follows nine particular points.
First point, look man, Ali Salam advises his son regarding to heed
the Tawheed is the foundation of Islam, upon which all other
teachings and all other practices of Islam depend and lean on.
Point number three is also about the omnipotence and omniscience of
Allah, Allah, all powerful nature, and the fact that he has knowledge
of everything. Point the METU immediately after it flows in the
Quran exact Allah to be Shaya will be the word is what Kabbalah
because that
will be invalidated. Immediately after the command. To obey Allah
comes the command to respect parents. So the second point
immediately after the story, and in between to read and speaking
about omniscience of Allah comes advice, respect for parents,
because we come into the world through the agency of parents,
they are nurturers, our caretakers, our protectors, our
sponsors and our supporters. The first one is
to establish worship.
Because, hey by the Salah prayer is a manifestation of obedience to
Allah. And it is a submission in practice and it is an expression
of one's faith. The first point is in joining what is right and
forbidding what is wrong
when
because evil and wrongdoing is a spiritual, a moral and a social
concern is a violation of human goodwill. It is an affront to
human dignity. Cause must be avoided at all cost. The sixth
point is the exercising of patient perseverance. Life is a test and
test requires our awareness that you go through challenges and
challenges require patience, perseverance, and patience is not
only a virtue in Islam is an obligatory virtue is to you know,
be so
But he was salah, seek help of Allah patient persevere in prayer,
look at how Allah link
emotional capacity for patient perseverance. And that was prayer
which is one of the highest forms of worship and one of the pillars
of Islam. So patience is an obligatory virtue, and it is
intimately tied to the practice of our faith. For example, the end of
Surah Imran Allah says, Yeah, are you under the Amanu? Yeah, are you
already the AMA news bureau was our bureau Robbie, but Allah,
Allah, Allah, and numerous ayah in the Quran, oh, you will believe Be
patient, mutually manifest patients. In other words, try to
assist and encourage one another to be able to facilitate patience
among yourself and Strengthen yourselves by mutual bond. So the
notion of patient perseverance as integral to our lives, and it's an
obligatory virtue. Number seven, the avoidance of arrogance
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to play Hadith
documented Bizzarri olbas Lara documented Hadith Allah Medina
Nisha Kula, which is Subhadra which is the INS of Iraq were
free. I didn't ask Kabira Allah, let me be grateful to you. Let me
be patient in my tribulations that will be small in my own eyes, and
high in the estimation of others.
Number eight, to be moderate in social engagement. When you engage
people we are social beings. How we engage one another is very
significant. It's a reflection of our character. So be moderate in
social engagement, moderation and humility, whether in our talking
in our demeanor in our walking while
telling us what items shipped out the Mara in Hola, hello, darlin,
for Cora, he says, and turn the other cheek away from people in
pride. No walk was rudeness to the earth.
Verily, Allah does not like any arrogant boasting.
The prophets of Allah Allah so most advice Mantova Allah refer of
Allah, whosoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will
elevate him, and the ninth point, to be careful how we communicate
and how we use our words, and how we convey what we convey.
Words have meaning and can have incredible power. He has the power
to inform or to inform, to persuade, or dissuade, it can
hurt, it can heal. So consider careful what you say and why you
say what you say and how you say it. That's why another verse which
will often read in the hood, before the person's is killed
Tunica in marriage, he says, we read the Naseeha yah, Armineh it
Aquila Kulu, colons added up, oh, you will believe saying words that
are straight. Before you say I accept the person in marriage, who
will call and said either, if your words are say, you slip.
Your actions will come right. And Allah will forgive you your sense.
So there is tremendous depth of wisdom and great ethical value in
these nine points of advice from man advice, that are timeless
advice that may be communicated from father to son, from parent to
child,
from fit to family, and through the ages, to members of society.
And I hope I've done that here by giving the small talk to you in
sha Allah. May Allah make us walk in the footsteps of the prophets,
and learn from the wisdom of the wise, just, by the way, in a
humorous note, but it's true. They asked Luqman again. How did you
become wise? He said, observe the foolishness of the foolish and I
avoided that foolishness. And as I said, I'm saying, Allah gave me
power to bring the dead back to life. But he never gave me the
power to remove the foolishness from foolish people. So maybe be
of those who are wise and take wisdom insha Allah will my Yotel
