			Love, love,
		

			love, love, love, love
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah while early he was happy Meanwhile, my
dearest brothers and sisters in Islam, as always, we begin In the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala
seeking His blessings and we praise Him and we request praises and blessings and salutations upon
our Master and teacher and leader Muhammad Ali Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. My dear
brothers and sisters in Islam I greet you with the greetings of Islam and peace in the greetings of
the people of Paradise Salaam, Allah alikum warahmatu wa barakato May Allah Peace, blessings and
safety be upon you all, and I welcome you all to a series that will be run during the best days of
		

			the year, the first 10 days of bullhead Jaya Subhana Allah, a series not random in any way or form a
series dedicated to the Hajj dedicated to the days of Hajj dedicated to Ibrahim Alayhi Salam and his
family and in connection to what we have been taught in the teachings and our of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam in terms of what constitutes a blessing family, the series of brothers
and sisters in Islam is titled Hajj and the family, common foundations. And for today's episode,
which is an introductory episode insha Allah, I want to take us to the beginning to the source,
brothers and sisters in Islam of what constitutes a mighty family and what really constitutes the
		

			Hajj being connected to a family, and that link brothers and sisters in Islam is found in the
fitrah. The natural disposition, Allah is fitrah to Allah hidden at Fatah, NASA Allah, Allah
subhanho wa Taala created us upon a natural disposition, this predisposition that has been filled
with guidance and connectivity to not just Allah but Allah subhanho wa Taala being the only one
worthy of worship a fitrah Subhana Allah that guides us to be a people that live only for the sake
of Allah, that act only for the sake of Allah, that speak only for the sake of Allah. And if we
remain, if we remain silent or refrain from acting, that we also do that solely for the sake of
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala. This fitrah brothers and sisters in Islam, when it's left in its pure form
		

			Subhana Allah, it forms the basis of a strong family unit for
		

			when the fitrah is left pure. A father maintains himself as a father, in the full sense of the word
and like this, the mother does. So the husband does so the wife does so the son does so the daughter
does so the children do so the parents do so and Subhanallah accordingly, you have a family that is
upon the mandates of La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, because remember brothers and sisters
in Islam, it is Allah subhanho wa Taala, who created this fitrah nothing in it can go against that
which Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed, because the source of both the fitrah and revelation is one
brothers and sisters in Islam. This fitrah can be polluted as Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			taught us for he said that everyone has been created upon a natural disposition. However, it's the
parents it's the environment that causes a child to grow up being a Christian, or a Jew, or a fire
worship. And we understand from this, that the fitrah can be infested, it can be infected, it can be
corrupted, a virus can go into it, which causes it to stop being true true to its original state,
that which Allah subhanho wa Taala created it upon. And when this happens, it stops thinking with
the light of the heat, it stops feeling attached to the guidance of Revelation, and then it becomes
misguided and goes astray further and further with the passing of every day. And the waking of every
		

			night. We Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the understanding Subhanallah of the importance of the
fitrah and how important it is that we protect it. Ibrahim Alayhi Salam brothers and sisters in
Islam. If we look at his childhood in the home of a father that not only worshipped idols, but
created the idols for other people to worship, we see him shining through and coming through with
flying colors. Subhan Allah why because Subhana Allah he was able to hold steadfast on to his fitrah
no doubt this was a blessing from the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon him, you and I today
know how environments play a massive part in the guidance and misguidance of us and also our
		

			children, Ibraheem alehissalaam grew up in an environment that you could call quote, unquote, messed
up in colloquial English but Subhanallah he came through with flying colors, and not only did he
maintain himself in this household and in this community, but
		

			He also Subhan Allah was guided by his fitrah to give our towards them becoming better people
themselves he engaged his father with his fitrah in the most beautiful of ways, despite his father's
misguidance despite his father's threats, he would call out his father and say, yeah, Betty Yeah,
but the Almighty, a Father almighty, a beloved father, and for those who study the Arabic language,
you will know that there are 10 ways to call out to your parents, the most softest, the most
eloquent, the best of ways is to say, yeah, Betty, and Allah reveals to us this conversation between
Abraham and his father, and how Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam managed himself as a son handled himself as a
		

			son. Where did he learn how to be an amazing son and remember, a son is part of the makeup of an
amazing family unit. Despite his father's misguidance. Despite his father's oppression, he remained
true to who he was supposed to be as a son, as per the mandates of his fitrah when his community
		

			came together to punish him in the most harshest of ways. We see him knowing that he's helpless in
terms of helping himself in front of his people, but he knew he could help himself in being
connected to Allah. Thus he refrained from engaging people and he engaged Allah subhanho wa Taala
Allah and he said has to be Allah who will determine will kill as a as a community member. And
remember, a community is nothing but a makeup of family. So when we look at Ibrahim, we have to look
at him as well as a community member because this gives us insights and highlights in terms of who
he will be as a husband, who he will be as a father, who he was as a son, alayhis salam Subhan
		

			Allah, He connected with his Lord and he said has to be Allah who and Mr. keel, he he said Allah
subhanho wa Taala is enough for me and otherwise the best place to dispose my affairs with and Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah Subhana Allah commanded the fire to be cool and safe for Ibrahim Allah. He
said, I'm not just cool, but safe because we know brothers and sisters in Islam, that the fire also
eats up elements that you and I need to survive, such as oxygen, so Han Allah, we see Ibrahim Alayhi
Salam shining through based on his fitrah when he was commanded to have an audience with Nam rude,
or Nimrod, as we know of him in the English language, this tyrant king who had a Dominion so vast
		

			historians say it was as vast as the kingdom of Carlene another king, but it just King, a king that
we read about weekly and sort of took care of, and this king Nimrod, Nimrod was laying claims, as if
he was Allah, and he was the Lord, and He brought him out of his salon, quote, unquote, shut him up
how, by saying team simply that my Allah causes the sun to rise in the east, so you cause it to rise
in the West. And Allah says for buoy 10 levy cover that the the disbeliever was dumbfounded, he
couldn't respond to Ibrahim alayhis salam, and this should give us insights brothers and sisters in
Islam, to who he was, again, a person connected to his fitrah because it's the fitrah that's guiding
		

			his speech, guiding his thoughts guiding his heart and keeping him steadfast despite the peer
pressure around him to become misguided. So this is Ibrahim Allah he set up as a unit as a son, a
unit of a family as a son, as a father, as a husband, Subhan Allah, and this teaches us brothers and
sisters in Islam, the power of the fitter, and this continued with him when he traveled to the
Levant to Sham and he saw people worshipping the stars and the cosmos elements of the cosmos. And
then when he went to Egypt, and the Tyrion King was being abusive of the family unit, again, we see
Subhan Allah, the Fetzer of Ibraheem alehissalaam shine through and how he left Egypt, thereafter to
		

			go to Palestine, where he eventually settled and then Subhan Allah, where he faced more tests from
Allah subhanho wa Taala. With regards to his son is married early he salam, once when is married was
around the age of two, and once when he's married was around the age of 12 or 14 years of age. This
is just the beginning brothers and sisters in Islam, we discussing Ibrahim alayhis salaam as a
member of the family as a unit of the family household. In further episodes, we will discuss other
members of the household hajer Allah His Salah is very early Salam Subhan Allah and we will zoom
into their lives and see Subhana Allah how amazing they were, when they were true to the fitrah and
		

			how collectively as a family Subhan Allah we have the Hajj, which really is an act true to the
fitrah and act of to heed an act of submission to the will of one Allah subhanho wa Taala alone,
that is the reality of the Hajj brothers and sisters in Islam. And this also is the reality of a
family unit. If this family unit handles themselves collectively and as individuals upon the fitter
upon the reality that there is no one worthy of worship besides one Allah, and that Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the final messenger, not forgetting brothers and sisters in Islam,
that when Allah tells us about the essence of
		

			The family, the parents, the husband and wife, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that a marriage is a
sign of the existence of Allah subhanho wa Taala and not only his existence, but him being the only
one worthy of worship for Allah subhanho wa Taala says amin aitd. from Allah science and Haleakala
come, mean and fusuma as weijun that Allah created from you, your spouses so that you could seek
contentment from each other and Allah placed between the spouses, my wife and Rama, love and mercy
Subhana Allah join me in future episodes as we expand on the ideas presented here. I love you all
for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala and until next time, salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
		

			barakato.
		

			Akbar Allah
