Just to show you how far away we
are going from Surat al Mustaqim, human beings.
When Allah
created the world
and then he created Adam
Well, Adam,
and he taught Adam
Do you recall what is one of the
first thing he did?
What was one of the first thing he
did?
Well, there are many things he did. Right?
But one of the first thing he did
for
Adam
Allah.
He created He
created a wife for him. And that's a
long
story, which I don't have the time to
get into. Sometimes I do it in a
wedding.
One day if Allah give me the hiday,
I'll do it in the jummah.
So he created a wife for him.
He gave him
that spouse,
and he married them, Adam
and Hawa
See how interesting?
Who did that? Allah.
The creator, the halic of insan.
The creator of human beings.
He established marriage.
And if you go into the Quran in
Surah Rum chapter 30 verse 21 and time
doesn't permit me to go into it, which
he speaks about and from from amongst my
sign, the
that he has created your spouse so you
could find peace.
And he has created love,
and he established rahma,
peace,
love,
mercy.
Three things that we don't see amongst people
nowadays.
We show peace,
tranquility,
love, and mercy.
And he created this wife, Adam
What? The wife. Marriage.
So as soon as he created Adam,
when he taught him, it was about a
wife and marriage.
Today, do you know what is the statistics
of marriage?
You know in America, go check it out.
A lot of you are university graduates.
Over 40%
of children
born in America
are born out of marriage.
That is 10%
short of the 50%
of people.
What is that telling us?
Human beings, how far we are going away
from what god established for human beings. And
I'm not talking about building a masjid here.
I'm not talking about giving charity and building
a book, buying a book. I'm not talking
about building a school. I'm talking about people's
own happiness.
Our own happiness.
Where we find sakinah, peace,
love,
mercy. As Allah says, He has established this
for husband and wife, and He has established
marriage, so husband and wife can come together,
have peace, love, harmony, home, family, community,
society, a happy world.
And over 40%
of children are born in America out of
marriage.
That is a sickening thing.
And do you know Muslims are following very
very
fast? Contrary to the sunnah and the Quran?
You see how? It doesn't matter sisters, you
wear hijab
and a tight jeans, I don't know what
you're trying to prove, but anyhow, brothers you're
growing a long beard, but you're not setting
up the lifestyle according to Quran and sunnah.
You're praying salah, but we're not living according
to Quran.
What are we running behind? You're praying salah?
You're running behind the dunya?
Our own happiness? Woman, children, family?
Do you know Iceland?
Iceland
has
the
highest statistics of children
born out of I mean, out of marriage.
Approximately
67 to 70%
of the children born in Iceland.
And I I when I thought the people
were not marrying, I thought it's because the
place is too cold.
But then I realized they're making more children,
but out of marriage. So maybe,
you know, we live in a sad world.
Over 2 thirds of the population
having I mean, of children born out of
marriage,
what God has written.
You would check the Bible, you check the
Torah, you check the Psalms, you check the
Gita, you check all the religious scriptures.
How God has designed man
and woman
and put us together, and how to live
for our benefit, for our happiness, for our
success, for love and peace and harmony,
and that we're not even doing right, whether
it's for our own peace and desire and
happiness.
What else we gonna do right?
We a lot of us, I tell you,
we pray only because we want to know.
We don't pray because we thank Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. It's because we want more from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Go check the statistics. Over 2 thirds?
Do you know what was the marriage the
the age
bracket of marriage in the United States of
America
30, 40 years ago?
1918, 1920
years. Most of the people used to get
married at that age.
What?
18, 1920.
You remember that was to be the Muslim
master also?
16, 17, 18?
Now the statistics of the United States of
America of marriage is not 28, 29, 30.
What's really going on with people? You're marrying
after you live half of your life? Then
you got 30 more years for 60?
We going
mad?
Is something wrong with human beings? They don't
even know how to live?
How to enjoy our happiness that God has
created for us? So if we cannot enjoy
the virtues and the happiness that God created
for us in the Quran, the bible, and
the Torah, and the scriptures. And I say
this to all human beings.
I tell everybody this.
We are far away from the path that
God has really designed for us. A lot
of us are very selfish. It's only about
going to mosque and we don't pray because
we don't want to go to *, and
we want to ask for more money and
more success and more business. It's about thanking
Allah because we're not even prepared to enjoy
our own life the way God says to
enjoy.
And that's a serious statistics. And the sad
thing is that Muslim families are also following
that in the hope of dunya, in the
love for the dunya. I gotta do it.
