00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			When a child comes into this world,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			the mother cries. Have you ever thought about
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			a pain
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			that a mother goes through for this child
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			to come into this world?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			Wow. Labor pain?
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			You hear a lot of husbands say, if
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			it wasn't by the will of Allah
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			and it wasn't Islamic to have children, they
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			wouldn't let their wives go through that pain.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			It's a real pain.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			Sometimes the children become a pain also.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Children become a pain in the neck sometimes.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			It's a pain all over.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			But
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			there is a blessing for that, that's why
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the mother is given that prestige over a
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			father and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			says the status of a mother, you love
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			your mother more. 3 times he said your
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			mother, your mother, your mother came first before
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			your father.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			9 months suffering,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			pain, difficulties.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			Here, the mother cries and she weeps to
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			deliver a child something that she wants to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			do. Isn't that interesting?
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			You wanna go through a pain
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			that is so not logical
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			for happy feelings to have a child. Allahu
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Akbar. See how unique
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			birth is, life?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			Interesting.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			Interesting.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			You know, I don't have the time to
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			get into it. Last night we had a
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			here and I was explaining
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			when Allah speaks of in
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Surah Nisa chapter 4 verse 1 about the
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			wounds,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			and how the wombs are called a place
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			of mercy,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			that a child coming into the world is
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			a mercy from Allah.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			And the whole concept that Allah does not
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			need a mother or parents
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			to bring forth a child. It is a
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			blessing unto man and woman to be parents
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			and to have a child.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			It's an opportunity. It's a favor
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			because Adam and Eve didn't have a mother
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			and father.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Allah didn't need a man and woman to
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			make Adam and Eve.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			Allah did not need a man
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			to produce Jesus, peace be upon him.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			He could say.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			And just as he created the mountains and
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			the moon
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and the sun and all these species on
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			earth,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			he could have created human beings.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			But it's an opportunity for parents to become
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			parents and enjoy the love of a husband
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			and wife.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			The and to find a peace and comfort
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			in your wife even though some people find
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			*.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			You go home, you're supposed to go home
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			to a smiling wife.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			Oh, after a long hard day's work when
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			you go home, you should see the smile
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			and this welcome. It's like, where you came
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			from? What you did today? Why you came
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			home so late? You feel like you're going
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			to *
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			instead of going to peace and tranquility.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			But that is what the husband and the
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			wife were designed for, to be peace.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			They Allah says they're libas. They're the clothing
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			for one another. Protection,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			calmness,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			garments.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Love, peace, tranquility.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			So it's an opportunity for the parents to
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			have children.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			Allah gave us an opportunity.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			So I just shift
