You know, in Arabic, there's a word was ALLAH, wow, sword Lam,
which means connection, relationship,
bond, and whatever you want to put with that.
So when the Prophet sallallahu, Sallam had spoken to his
companions about keeping that good relationship with your relatives,
he ended up saying
that good relationship with your relatives
does not mean reciprocating good deeds to your relatives.
You follow brother Dula. Good relationship with your relatives
does not mean reciprocating good
deeds to your relatives, meaning you got a relative. They do good
deed to you, so you do back good deed to them. He said, No, that
doesn't mean that interesting.
Yeah,
he said. It does not mean that.
He said, but this was in Arabic. Go, check it out. Go check the
Quran Hadith. He says this relationship that he speaks about
means relatives that are not good to you.
What does it mean, Mister Siddiq,
relatives that are not good to you.
For you to be good to them, that is what he means.
Isn't that deep.
And what do you hear nowadays?
I don't have anything to do. I, you know, sometimes I meet people.
I say, I met your uncle. Say, uncle? What am I? That's my
father, brother. That's not my family. That's not my relative.
I'm like, What? What are we saying? My brothers and sisters,
you know, many a times I remind myself, and it's very unfortunate
the time,
you know, very short. But anyhow,
many a times I remind myself and I remind people.
And
on the topic of today, a lot of us read the Quran,
right? We learn it, we recite it, we read it, we teach it, but we
don't live it.
We read it, we teach it, but we don't live it. And if we go into
this Quran,
we will see how much the Quran speaks about this relationship
with your relatives.
Remember, I always remind myself,
and I remind our viewers on Al hikma, TV and social media
worldwide.
Islam is not only about salah, zakat, fasting and Hajj. These are
just the pillars the entire house. We gotta live
what the house?
Go check the Quran. And we want to stick a little bit to this topic
on that relationship, because this is a disaster in the world today.
A lot of us think we so very pious. We've performed hutchin
times. We fast 30 days in Ramadan. Oh, we give charity, and we are
Wow.
But we have broken major laws of the Quran, this law of family ties
and relatives, not just husband and wife and children. No, no,
but in the second hood. But because if I get off with the
details with it, we will run late, so in the second hood. But I want
to remind myself
and remind you my brothers and sisters on the Quranic and the sun
teachings of that relationship with our relatives.
We really in the world today believe that it's only our wife
and our children or our husband and children. Islam goes beyond
that,
and Islam may be the only way of life in the world that stresses
the importance of that,
that stresses what the importance of that
before we get into the second khutbah. I
want to recite a verse from the Quran all maybe,
if not, 99%
of the sheiks
of the scholars
of the Imams on Friday.
Days you hear them telling you bismillahiromani Rahim, a verse
from the Quran taken from surana.
Chapter 16 verse 90. Chapter 16 verse 90. We always hear this
verse. What verse do we hear
in in Allah,
evil?
The yellow verse every week. You know what that means.
Chapter 16, verse 19, that Allah has commanded. Allah has commanded
that you be just
in Allah Ali commanded, you know, he's commanded.
Allah has commanded. He has ordered
that we be just. Yeah, and then he goes on to say, well, Adley
walesan, be just, and we be good.
Good actions, good ways, good manners, good relationship with
people.
And then he goes on to say, waita, evil kurba,
and you be good to the people who are near.
You know the word Arabic uses qurba, three
means, near be good to the people, your family and relatives, who are
near to you. You know, what's the difference today,
instead of we be near to those who are near, we are far from those
who are near.
Where? What? In Arabic, we say barid,
barred min al Kareem. We are far from those who are supposed to be
near.
Maybe that's why a lot of people go and live in isolation.
And I have to use brother Azad place. What's it called? Pembroke
Pines? What?
Yeah, we all chew. You ask everybody nowadays, they want to
go isolate themselves. They want to live by themselves. They want
to live far by far from their relatives, far from their family
members. Now, listen, listen, listen. I don't want you guys feel
offended, because it's almost everybody live like that. You
understand brother Salvador, but don't say it. Don't commit sin by
your tongue. Don't make the wrong intention. Say you want to live
comfortable, say you want to live in a nice locality. Say you want
to live in a secure what you call
it community, right? Brother, community. I have to use you
because, I mean, you're the first person sitting in front here.
Say you want to live in a secured community. Say you want to live in
a nice community, but don't say you want to live away from people.
You really making a wrong statement. You are saying you want
to live barred min al Kareem. You want to live far from the people.
Allah says you should be near to
but you answer to a life. That's your intention,
right? Brother, shamiana, you all now you don't live in a Okay,
okay.
Like to pick on our boys here. You know what I mean? These are boys
here.
Don't say it. Make the halal intention. Yeah, you could go live
by yourself. Ah, and you know, nothing is wrong geographically
speaking,
if we have to go and live in different areas and places. So
don't say, I'm telling you, don't say. Shake shaphard said, don't
live in in in communities and close communities and gated
community. I'm not saying that.
I'm saying don't make the intention that your reason for
living there is to be away from your relatives and family.
Because Islam, the Quran right, Maulana refers, you need to tell
them allanas That, eh, Islam calls these people. Kharib
Allah called them Kareem.
You know, Allah calls them waitai quraba,
and be good to those who are near to you.
This is a deep topic. In a second, we'll continue. This is the topic
that a lot of. That's why I was saying a lot of our shakes talk
about this. Lot of every mom reads this verse on Fridays, huh? How
many people live this?
How many people live this?
Enemies with brothers and sisters, enemies with uncles and aunties.
We don't talk to them. We don't know them, grandparents,
grandchildren. We have no connection
and Islam command Allah commands, let me know. Just say Islam Allah
commands that we keep that connection so
we'll continue.
