			and every one at this auspicious
hour of Juma
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			when we look at the world around
us this week
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			news headlines in Germany
yesterday, a man opens fire at a
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			Muslim restaurant, killing nine
people.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			Also yesterday, a Mussolini at the
London Mosque. stabbed him was the
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			during the time of prayer
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			in South Africa, an eight year old
tesni from the wake of LTS liver,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			murdered allegedly allegedly by a
Muslim person who bought her body
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			was dumped in a dream near
Houston.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			There seems to be an unending war
and ongoing battle between Muslim
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:18
			people and Muslim nations. And all
of us indicates a seeming lack of
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			human beings valuing other human
beings.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			And one of the most often repeated
traditions of the Prophet
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			sallallahu alayhi wa salam that I
consistently the iterate in my
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			talks and even from this member
here
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			the traditions are Muslim woman
Salim al Muslim woman I mean, Lisa
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			and Eva De
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			Waal minimum Amina, who knows the
man in one word him, him, but the
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. In a hadith documented the
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			salary of Imam Al Bukhari is
reported to have said, a Muslim is
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			one from whose words and actions
all other Muslims are safe. A
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:04
			Muslim is one from his words,
indeed, other Muslims are safe and
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			Hadith documented by materiality.
The Rasool said, a movement is one
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			in whom humanity at large find
safety and security regarding the
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			lives the honor, and the
belongings.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			traditions like these emphasize
the significance of acknowledging
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			what you call Kurama to insaan,
the unreliability of human being
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			and the dignity of every human
being, that human being is worthy
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			of Sheriff
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			of honor and respect.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			And the overall picture that
emerges when you study the Sharia,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			regarding the valuing of human
life, and the valuing of human
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			being, is perhaps summed up in
part of the comedy commentary of
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			Allama Shahabuddin and Lucy, who
wrote in his Romani feet of Cyril
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:01
			Quran of him, human race,
including those who are fires, and
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			including those who are sinful,
all of them are endowed.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			With potential dignity.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			We know that life is a test,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			revenue account you can ask
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			and each individual, male or
female have particular skills and
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			abilities and each one faces
particular challenges and trials
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			and tribulations, that each one
may have different abilities and
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			talents. And each one may have a
different degree of knowledge,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			have different positions,
different positions have different
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			degrees of other authority and
power. But we know all of these
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:48
			who under the gyla can color if
one of our above the confocal Raja
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			Leah Balu welcome FEMA. It is
Allah subhanho wa Taala with
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			endowed human beings has made them
dividuals of Allah on earth, the
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			khalifa to life is in *.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			edges of the Earth, position them
in differing positions,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			position them in different
positions, so that he may test you
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			by that which he has entrusted you
with.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			What this illustrative verse
indicates, is that people have
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			different Daraja different levels,
different capacities, different
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:27
			positions, and thus each one may
have a different degree of test in
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			life.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			And these different Daraja
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:38
			should not be negatively
construed, or mis understood that
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:43
			some are therefore, superior to
others. Because each person is
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			unique, and each person is
special.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			Each situation may be different,
and all circumstances are not the
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:57
			same. And this appreciation of
value applies throughout the
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			creation of Allah. In fact,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			when you look at both the lion and
the shark, both are outstanding
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			hunters at the peak
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			of the tree of the predators where
they are, but a lion cannot hunt
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			in the ocean, and the shark cannot
hunt in the jungle. Just because
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			the lion cannot hunt in the ocean
does not make him a useless
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			Hunter. And just because a shark
cannot hunt in the jungle does not
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:30
			make him less of a hunter. Both
have their value, and both have
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			their status as hunters, but each
in their own territory. Each has
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:40
			its own value in its own context.
And thus, value comes from the
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			inherent capacity of each one
within the context within which
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			they find themselves. We look at
bees,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			our lives in the world as a whole
would be much different place if
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			bees did not exist, or if bees
cease to exist. Bees are
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:01
			responsible for pollinating about
1/6 of the flowering plants
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			throughout the world. And they are
the major pollinators for many of
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			our foods and our crops like
almonds and apples and avocados
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			and blueberries, and cantaloupes
and cherries and cranberries and
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			cucumbers and cauliflower,
sunflower, watermelon, all of
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			these.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			These crops rely in particular on
the honeybee for the pollination.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Bees are some of the hardest
working creatures on the planet.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			And because of their laborious
work ethic, we owe many things to
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			this amazing, yet often
appreciated insect. In fact,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			Albert Einstein said, if bees were
to disappear from the surface of
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			the Earth, human beings would only
have four years to survive. That
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			is how significant the B is to the
global environment.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			So be cautious just because we
don't appreciate something does
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			not mean it does not have value
and ponder over the fact that
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			Allah subhanaw taala has intact
title an entire chapter in the
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Quran as the be
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			our lack of appreciation of
something maybe due to our
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:15
			awareness of the intrinsic value
or the to value of something of
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:15
			someone
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			we ever know Amma force wars are
being fought among Muslim
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			countries, at the cost of the
lives of millions of believers. We
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			have an increase in the attack of
each other on each other by each
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			other, undermining the dignity of
one another. And now with these
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			tweeting and texting, everyone has
access to everything that anyone
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			says true or false at any time all
the time.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			There's an unprecedented
declaration
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			of preferred by Muslims by other
Muslims people making tech videos
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:56
			of other people. This despite the
clear injunction in the Holy Quran
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:01
			where Allah admonished us with
Alfie Lubin.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			And Let not your hearts entertain
any ill feeling against any of the
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:14
			believers. This in spite of the
fact and the warning of Rasulullah
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the
Hadith documented in the salary of
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:25
			Imam Muslim with Rasul said, a uma
Imran Khan Kafeel fuck Barbie her
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:32
			huduma incarna Kumar call what
Allah Raja Ali said, If any
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Muslim, if any person calls
another person a coffee
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			then one of them becomes a coffee.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			Either the person you call the
coffee is a coffee and if he's not
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			the coffee, you have become a
coffee.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			So in trying to make other people
coffee, we may be making 10 feet
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			of ourselves in the process
because of the lack of
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			appreciation and value of people.
The believers are described in the
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			Quran as Ruhama obeying the home
as those who many
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			has mercy and compassion to one
another. But there's a tendency to
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			be harsh in our judgments,
particularly of each other.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			How beautiful and thought
provoking. The words of imams are
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:16
			Fiona Foley, one of the tambourine
who said, in the mirror Elmo,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:21
			rasa, musica, for amateurs, deed
for your son who could look, he
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:26
			said, a true person of knowledge.
I judge people he says, I consider
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			people truly knowledgeable.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			Irrespective of titles regarding
what names they go out and what we
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:37
			ascribe to them or what degrees
they may have. He says, I judged
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			true knowledge to be from a
trustworthy scholar, understanding
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:46
			when to be lenient, because it's
easy for anyone to be harsh.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			I consider a judge to knowledge to
be a trustworthy scholar,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			understanding when to be lenient,
because it's easy for anyone to be
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			harsh. There's an incident in the
life of Imam Shafi, where he
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:06
			differed with a person called
Yunus Abdullah and
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			they differed.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			In fact, he said that once when he
gave a lecture us walked out of
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			the meat of the of the meeting,
you lose, if you are Allah is a
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			very notable scholar. In fact, one
of the
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			stars is named after him.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			So he said,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			The man walked out and Imam Shafi
pursued it, and he went to the
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			person he went to the person who
walked into his class used to
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			jamaa Anna May Allah Messiah
Messiah in but the federal kala
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			masala we agree upon 100 Things
are used, we differ on one thing,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46
			and he went on to say, oh use
don't try to be triumphant in our
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			differences. Sometimes winning
hearts is far more important than
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			winning an argument or Yunus don't
demolish bridges between us which
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			we have built because someday we
may have to cross those bridges or
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:04
			use always hate what is wrong, but
do not hate the one who is doing
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			wrong because he may change and
not do the wrong thing anymore. So
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			hate the error not the person
earning Hate the sin with all your
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			heart but forgiven have mercy on
the one who may have some
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:18
			criticize the speech but be
respectful of the speaker. And he
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:23
			said our job or use is like a
doctor. When we see a disease we
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			don't kill the patient. We treat
the illness in them he Medina he
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			and not the other model. Allah
Allah Martha, we kill off the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			disease we don't kill the patient.
We do the opposite in the name of
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			Islam.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			When we look at the life of the
Rasul Allah, who are they here
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			while he was?
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			There are numerous example of do
they be Ben of Amal? Yes, if not,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			ma ma vinyasas Ali Amma vinyasa
Sumaiya we look at the life of
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Buddha Bemis Road,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			companions of Gilgamesh rude was a
shepherd. And one day that a sutra
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			seldom was out in the desert
needed some milk or something. And
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			he saw this poor shepherd boy
tending the flock of sheep. And he
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			went, engaged him and he gave the
Rasool some milk to drink, and
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			there are so admired and
appreciated him and his
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			significant, seemingly
insignificant boy, as a shepherd,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			they're looking, and he also
encouraged him and said, You're
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:21
			intelligent boy. And you know, so
Absalom inspired him.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			And then he said, I want to be
with your prophet.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			And that person blogging the
school became Vindel Mustafa, they
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			call him the shadow of the
Prophet.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			To the extent some people
considered he was almost part of
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			the family of the prophets. That
was the one who read the Quran in
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			public first time in history. He
was the first colony all of their
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			bosses and all the people who
imitate, he was the first colony
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:48
			of the oil sands Allahu alayhi wa
early was in them. How you see,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			that little teenage boy was
inspired by a prophet in an
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:58
			insignificant incident. But yet,
see how the seemingly
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			insignificant
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			has become significant that we
take out Quran from Abdullah
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			Mossad, a shepherd boy.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			We are the home of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			who one day a person passed by
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			sallam for call Mata Hulan if you
had somebody pass by and the
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			Rasool ask them what do you think
about about this person who pass
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:35
			by that oh, he's a wealthy man
well known man respectful man is
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			high position high status. If he
asked any ladies had in marriage,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			the parents will not refuse. If he
intercede for someone who is in
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			session will be accepted by the
people. And if he speaks you
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			should listen to him. And then
assume for Secretary Rasulullah
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			sallallahu it has nothing and he
kept quiet. And then another man
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			fire pass by tone close poor man.
And he asked what do you think
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			about this minjiang
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			This man is nobody really you
know, like, what about him? He
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			said, Well if he must propose to
some girl that parents wouldn't
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:10
			give for him. And if he speaks, no
one would bother to listen to him.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:14
			And there are so look, this kid
has a high roomie mother or the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			mill had. He said people like
these who ignore
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			a bit better than the earth be
full of people like less than the
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			other one that you talked about.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			We don't even know the person's
name. But the point is the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			comparison the Rasul Allah was
made to bring to the attention,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			not the undermining of the other,
but to indicate the significance
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			of each one.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			This narrative in Surah, Yaseen
puja Raju, Medina, theologically
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:40
			is
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			a German accent Medina Raju yes ha
ha. omitted we almost need it to
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			be Roman lies
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			Amalia Allah, that portion of
Surah Yaseen
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			is a story about a leopard, a
person who was outcast by his
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:00
			people, about 600 years before the
term of a silencer.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			So he was outcast by his people,
because he had leprosy and people
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			didn't want to mix with him and
meet with him. And he was an idol
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			worship and then some people came
to him and made our to him and he
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:17
			embraced the faith. And these
people after teaching him, they
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			went to the city from which he
originally was the town from which
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			he was ostracized. And he, that
when the people when they they
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			beat the people up, sort of
concern for his people's guidance,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			that these people are guiding you
have concerned for the welfare of
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			the people who came to guide him.
He said to the peepees, people
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			don't don't beat them up, they
came to guide you. Instead of
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			that, they beat him up, they beat
him to death. And even as the
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			beating him is Allah, He prays for
them in the, in the in the in the
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			in his death.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			Now, this is a story of a man
who's a leper, even outcast by his
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:00
			own community. Yet to indicate the
significance of this seemingly
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			insignificant person.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			Allah put him you know, Surya
scene is called Cobra Quran, the
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			heart of the Quran. And Allah puts
the story of this seemingly
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			insignificant person, at the heart
of the heart of the Quran,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			at the heart of the heart of the
Quran, but just to indicate to us,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			no one is insignificant.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			And if
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			how we have learned to value
things,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			how we appreciate things,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			has become corrupted.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			Our focus on educating ourselves
and our youth
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			is for them and for us not to be
spoiled, and to be rich, if we
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			become wealthy according to the
law, but rather educate them in
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			ourselves to be beneficial and to
be happy,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			to appreciate and to be grateful,
to be helpful and to be
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			significant.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:05
			Grow grew up, I believe, shaping
the value of things, rather than
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			only knowing the price of things.
Respect the honor of people,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			rather than undermining the
dignity of others. Because the
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			spec is essential for human social
engagement, because respect begets
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			respect, and respectable people
are respectful.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			How often when the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa salam was
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:32
			asked about the best of people ask
about the best of people. He would
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37
			refer to excellence in social
engagement, and respecting and
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			valuing other people. Example,
somebody said to
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			me, Well, hey, we'll JIRA and the
life journey and a best friend, a
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			person can be is the one who is
best to his friend. And the best
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			neighbor in his estimation of
Allah is the one who's the best
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			neighbor to the one who's living
next to him.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			The best of you are those who are
best to their family. Then he said
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			to me, Tom, the best of you are
those who feed those who are
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			hungry. Another hadith is on Sahih
Bukhari telling me the most
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15
			humble, authentic hadith in Sahih
al Bukhari Rasul Allah is reported
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			to have said,
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			telethon when Jamal Jamal Eman
there are three things if these
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:25
			three things are combined in you
the Imam is complete InSAR from
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			enough sick, we both know Salah
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			will in fact when
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:35
			he says fairness, justice in
yourself towards others, offering
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:40
			peace to the world around you. And
spending in charity, even if we
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			have a little all of these are to
do with social engagement.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			The primary lesson
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:55
			that we derive from all of us is
the importance of valuing things
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			and most importantly, valuing each
other
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			respecting each other, the
realization that different people
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:09
			are in different situations, it
each one is unique, and no one is
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			insignificant, valuable
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:17
			in their own context, and
therefore, deserving of respect.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:23
			It begins in the house, it begins.
Very often people come to school
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			and they say the children are
naughty or whatever happens. And
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			you wonder, they are at school for
six hours or seven hours. They are
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			not here all the time, what is
happening at home?
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			If you don't have respect for your
parents, why do you expect your
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			children to have respect for you?
They should, they should respect
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			you, but I'm asking if they don't
see it in you, if they see you
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			being abusive towards your spouse,
all the amount of memorization of
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			Hadith will not change that.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:57
			memorization of values doesn't
translate into transformation of
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:03
			people. memorization of values,
many Hadith, in acid, Casa de la
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			will be truthful, for truthfulness
leads to righteousness, everyone
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			knows the Hadith, yet there are so
many cooks, they know the body,
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			some of them who teach the Hadith.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			So memorization of information
does not mean transformation, to
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:23
			the values that are being
promoted. It must be imbibed and
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			imbibe, you must have it yourself.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			And therefore there are all sorts
of Allahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			reminded us, no person
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:39
			leaves a better inheritance for
his children than good education,
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:43
			and good moral values. And I
always emphasize the the salted
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			inheritance, you can't give an
inheritance which you don't have
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:47
			yourself.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			No child inherits a better
inheritance from his parents than
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			good training and good behavior.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:00
			Inheritance. And if you don't have
it, they won't inherit it. So all
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:05
			of us as educators, all of us as
parents, all of us as friends and
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			neighbors, employers as workers,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			respect the dignity of each other.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:16
			Because how you act and react is a
reflection of yourself. Your
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			attitude is a reflection of
yourself in the mirror of life.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			Nothing affirms our humanity, more
than our capacity, to empathize
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			with the feelings of others, and
to work with dignity with those
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			around us. And it is this frame of
heart that enables us to feel the
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:40
			agony of the pain experienced by
those who are in pain and to treat
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:44
			others the way we would like to be
treated and to do our best to make
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:50
			the world a better place. One good
deed at a time, one person at a
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:55
			time, one day at a time. The
believer should bring forth that
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			innate potential for goodness
Rasul Allah insha Allah Khattab
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:03
			Allah, Allah. Allah has prescribed
excellence in everything you do,
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:06
			whether you argue or debate,
whether you agree or fried.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			Whenever you do, Allah has
prescribed excellence in
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			everything you do.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			And therefore,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:19
			the believer should bring forth
that innate potential for goodness
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:25
			and bring it to bear on our social
existence. Life is a test and each
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			one of us is tested
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:32
			and tested according to what we
have been granted. Because I've
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			been given more something does not
make me more superior in any way.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:40
			It makes me more accountable and
more answerable. You see, we pass
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			the test in faith, if we do the
best we can with what we have from
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:49
			where we are, and inspiring others
in ourselves, to look up to Allah
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			and to elevate ourselves and
elevate those around us. By doing
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			the best that we can. In the
situations we find ourselves where
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:02
