			Well Allah has this attitude the only one against that assailant, again this barbaric bombardment
that they have been subjected to day and night, they are already one with this attitude. They want
the hearts of the world and the people, where is this is coming from.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:56
			So I went on, and I looked into the world our Halima speak to us about where this all comes, this
strength in the household, where does come from his victory kind of come from somewhere, is going to
come from the house first, from the inside, first, from within, it starts at home. And here are some
of the qualities our villa they highlight, as the best qualities you need to work on to develop in
your household, with your family and with yourself. Whether you're married or not having kids or
otherwise, this is where you start from. It starts from within, as an individual I will need I need
to develop these qualities from myself. If I'm a family person, man or woman, father or mother, you
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:37
			develop these qualities in your household. You teach your children yourself how to live by these
values. And these qualities. So here are some of these qualities that they shared with us. Number
one, they said the Muslim household is based on towhead and Eman. What does that mean? We believe in
the Oneness of Allah subhana wa Donna the greatest empowerment. Why so because if you subject
yourself to nobody, but Allah azza wa jal, everybody else becomes irrelevant. Everything else is
completely irrelevant when you know that you belong to him. That's why one of the highlights of our
statements when it comes to Allah subhanho wa Taala we say what in that Allah, we're in LA, hurrah,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:18
			June, we all belong to Allah and to him our return shall be whenever single day you remind yourself
of that statement. This is it. That's empowerment. I'm not going to subjugate myself to anybody
except to Allah subhanho wa taala. brothers and sister we have seen this in videos after videos and
one moment after moments of hundreds that comes from wisdom from elsewhere from the Muslim ummah.
And we've seen that before in the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala and from the Sunnah of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wasallam. Allah azza wa jal is highlighting to us and for us the story of Luke man
and his son as he is now teaching his child, how to live his life. He's building now the foundation
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:53
			of his future household. What does he say to him? Cara? The first thing he says caught up when are
you in entitlements Karla have Butterman Hordaland further confused Sahara and Alfa Samoa to Flordia
to be Allah and Allah Allah evil hubby and my dear son, look, whatever that you do, whether it be to
hide it under the ground or in the skies or anywhere you think you can, Allah will bring it out for
us because his Latif and hubby is more subtle Subhanallah what are all knowing he's teaching his son
to believe in Allah azza wa jal and subjugate himself only to Allah subhanho wa Taala his
responsibility to Allah, that is power.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:30
			I'm not sure how much you believe in that in your heart. Yes, we say it, but how much we live by it.
That truly my life and the life of my household and my children is all about Allah subhanho wa Taala
strength of Eman until hate and Yochanan certainty of that definitely is empowerment. The second
thing we've seen that there is sense of their sense of truthfulness, sense of truthfulness and trust
Subhanallah beautiful thing I've seen a video some of you might have seen it, in which they were
interviewing some of these little kids. And when they were speaking, they speak like adults.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:41
			You can trust these kids. They were trying to get from them. Some of the private and very, very
sensitive material and information from the neighborhoods and these kids is none of your business.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:48
			I'm not going to share this information with you where these kids are learning that from for being
trustworthy
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:29
			for being trustworthy. Ask yourself the question. Would you trust your kids with private information
that you have at home? Your personal life? Would you trust your kids with that, let alone the third
the secrets of the OMA even. But we've seen that they live by that trust where this is coming from
also from the teachings of the Sahaba and Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. As for the Allahu Allah
was a young child when he was serving the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. He served him for 10 years.
One of those moments, he said that one day I came a little bit late to her to the house like his mom
was waiting for him and he came a little bit late. So she asked him Where were you? What Why so
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:38
			late? He said I went to fulfill some of the needs of the prophets of Allah cinema. I was going with
some did some some matters for the prophets of Allah Salaam. She goes, what was it?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:54
			Now the mother is asking us what was that thing that the Prophet said want you to do? And as her son
is telling her, I'm not going to tell you the secret of the prophets of Allah says Allah. He's
telling his mom, I'm not going to share this with you. So she goes, good boy, don't share it with
anybody.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			His mother is teaching him to be a trustworthy person.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			Making sure that if someone entrust you with somebody you have that Amana you tell the truth and you
always tell the truth. Brothers and sisters that power, that is power. Because Allah Subhana Allah
says, yeah you Allah didn't I'm going to talk to Allah Allah Kumar Tsadikim. Or you who believe, be
conscious of Allah azza wa jal. Always be with those who are truthful. Because when you tell the
truth, you have the power. When you lie, you're always weak. You're always weak, because you know
you're not you're not sincere. You're not confident with that lie. But when you tell the truth, it
doesn't matter what people bring against you. Because you know, you have the truth and a strong
		
00:05:35 --> 00:06:09
			foundation is with you. Brothers and sisters, from these beautiful qualities, we have seen the
concept of justice, these people are not looking for anything but justice. They're looking for
fairness for their cause, for their own personal love. And that's why that's what the man from the
whole world. Where is that fairness? What is that justice? And that's why Subhanallah they stand
strong for it. No one likes to be likes to be under oppression. No one likes to be the do to deal
with them with injustice, and unfairness. No one likes that. Even children try that with your kids.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:47
			Try to take the toy of one of one child to give it to the other one see what they do. They will
fight for the rights from a very young age. That's a natural instinct. But imagine when you empower
that with the teachings of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Hadith it no matter what the shear of the Allah turn what Allah He
said one day the Prophet sallallahu Sallam one day his father, Bashir, he gave him a gift, a special
gift. Like he favored him over his other siblings with a special gift. So the mother felt that was
unfair, like why don't you give the other ones that sin? Or at least similar things? I don't know
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:07
			man, being that you are the recipient he was, what do I do? So the father he she said to the Father,
go and ask the professor's of others. If that's okay, then I'm fine with that. The mother is asking
the Father Go and ask the Prophet Salah Salem if this is fair to deal with your kids like she's
trying to establish the household on justice and fairness.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:43
			So a bedsheet goes with the son of a man and he goes to the Prophet said, Allah said I'm gonna ask
him Yeah, Rasul Allah, I gave this gift to my son and no man and my wife. She said, that does not
right, I should consult with you. So the Prophet says, I'm told I'm con Akula what are the kind of
helter medulla daddy? Did you give all your kids the same? Like did you share with them something
equals something similar to that? God Allah? He said, No, I did it. For God. sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam it have eschewed Allah ha ha you defending that I should Allah Joe. Go look for somebody else
to witness this because I cannot be a witness for over injustice. Like that was unfair. You cannot
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:24
			do this. Imagine when you always keep in your mind, I need to be fair with my spouse. I need to be
fair with my children. I need to be fair with my parents, you establish your household based on
that. That leads to what leads to the fourth quality. There is a sense of Frommer, sense of mercy,
compassion, empathy in that household. Look at the house of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa salaam Ali, whether it was with his wives with his grandchildren. Rasulullah Hassan The best
example that Rama Rama or Santa kala Rahmatullah mean you've been sent nothing by the mercy to the
world. And he displayed that mercy in all aspects of his life. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, even
		
00:08:24 --> 00:09:02
			with his servant, we go back to Anna's Rhodiola Juan who served the Prophet sallallahu wasallam for
10 years. When he was asked, How did the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam treat you in his household
like you're a stranger and even if you're not even part of the household, you just as a servant,
because Karla Allah He macaroni? Well, Anna Ronnie, he never yelled at me. He never insulted me none
of this stuff. And he never told me for something I did why he did that for or something I did not
do why he did this for me. Never. He was forgiving, overlooking, he understand. He's still a kid. It
was one of those moments when he said one day the Prophet saw some send me he fetch me out to get
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:31
			something or to do something for him. So it seems that Anna's was delayed. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam himself, he went out looking for us. So he saw him sitting down playing with kids,
what to expect as a kid so on the on the way out, he saw some kids playing suits or looking at them
got distracted and suddenly found themselves engaged in the game. So he said, while I was sitting
down, observing and watching, I felt he said, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:40
			And he looked up, it was Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam smiling his face and he says, Where did I send
you? Because I'll do it right now.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:52
			And he just went to fulfill the purpose or something. What a beautiful display of compassion, of
mercy of Rama, forgiveness. Any parent could probably yell at the kid in that moment.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			Any kid could direct him with harshness. Why? Because you pray over your friends and you do the late
manually.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			is wasted my time. But here's Rasul Allah has Salah Salem understanding the need of that little
kitty because it's okay just go and get get it right now do it for me,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:48
			Rama and mercy. We've seen some of these examples Subhanallah one of those moments that you can't
Allah is removed from you from your from your heart and your mind. This gentleman who was holding
his Rotorua, the soul of his soul. And as he was crying for the passing of this little kid, and
little baby, and so much compassion that was in there so much Rama was in there that he even he
opened her eyes, you want to make sure that she's, she's not alive, want to make sure. And he kissed
her eyes in there. What kind of love and mercy and drama that you can see in that moment, like the
Prophet saw some shit his tears when his kids the past sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what kind of
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:26
			Rama will see from the life of the prophet Sallallahu Sallam as he was treating his kids when
they're even in solitude Gemma, they're jumping on his back, and he prolongs his search there
salAllahu alayhi wasallam simply just because they're kids, they're enjoying the moment right now.
He doesn't want to break that moment for them while he is leading people in solitude Gemma, that
kind of Rama and mercy when kids grow up knowing that their parents have this Rahman Muhammad, this
forgiveness and they start place that practice this in their own household. What do you expect what
kind of household will you raise? An unbelievable an unbelievable household, unbelievable family,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:06
			brothers and sisters. Muslim household is also built on respect of the elders and on having that
Rama for the younger ones. What has been involved in anyway when ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada commanded us
in the Quran to observe that respect for our parents. Rasulullah has Salah Sam even extended that
not just to the parents, to the elders of your community, your uncle's your aunt, your grandparents,
your neighbors, the elders in your community in your messenger the prophets. Allah says in the
Hadith kala Samina Is that a true believer not one of us, let me say midnight, Mala Mia Hamm, Salia
Rana, were out of Chava Kabira, that a true believer, not one of us, the one who does not have mercy
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12
			on the young amongst us, and show respect and honor to the elders amongst us.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:52
			Showing that that respect to the elders and love and mercy to the young ones, these are qualities of
a strong household and a strong community. Brothers and sisters, there is a sense of sense of
cooperation, in that in that kind of strong household, we've seen that as well. Subhanallah and that
community, how they support each other, how they help each other. Even when someone I was listening
to a conversation interview in regards to people asking if we could have some of these kids, the
orphans from Gaza to raise them in our own household. And the answer came No, you can't. Because
these kids will be raised by the friends. And the neighbors of the family that lost the we're lost
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			in this in this world. This is how they raise their children.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:10
			Because everybody helped each other in that regard. Subhanallah so a moment remember a moment when
two toddlers, the older one is confronting the other one, the young one and holding him and hug him
after they were taken out from the rubble SubhanAllah.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:30
			What kind of man mercy and thinking of the others even a moment of atrocity like this brothers and
sisters, those qualities truly build strong people. And they're built they really build strong
households and families. Compare yourself right now to those little kids and those people there and
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:54
			compare your household to that household. Compare it to them and see for yourself. If you can build
a strong house or otherwise, work on these qualities may Allah subhanho wa Taala make your household
and the house of the believers strong with Eman with Rama with truthfulness and justice. You are
Ballymena cola cola. That was tough for a lot of the money welcome when he said Muslim universal
Pharaoh in the Horn of the Fuhrer Rahim.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:41
			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa sallahu wa salam ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
salam, ala Sleeman Kathira to mama bad. My dear brothers and sisters, one of the things that shows
us this religion resilience in that lifestyles Pantalon the last quote I want to share with you
which is one of the most important thing that we've seen over and over again repeated is their
attachment and dedication to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam how
many readers we have seen people always Quran the Quran, always reciting the Quran, in moments of
weakness and difficulty and hardships when their lowest moment they find this kind of comfort in the
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			words of Allah azza wa jal
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:52
			if your household is not really based on that, if you're poor, if the Quran has not recited in your
house, what else is being recited in your household?
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			I know that sometimes we just we just play that the recordings for example, to listen to the Quran,
but what about you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36
			Why can't you decide the plan out loud for your family to hear it and make sure they do that
actually hamdulillah in terms that they can all hear that Bismillah as though the we've seen that
even attachment to the example of the prophets of Allah Salam as though although it sounds trivial
example but for me that was a profound moment when a mother was talking to her son when she was
actually checking his hair and he has an adult son, she has taken with him and and she told him you
know what, the way you use you cut your hair that's not good, not acceptable. We're not going to get
victory because of that because mom we're going to lose because of my hair cut. She goes yes because
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			the Prophet service and forbade us from cutting our hair like this.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			Wow.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:49
			Like teaching your children that the value is in the Quran and the words of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam more than anything else.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:26
			We teach that listening to the Prophet Salaam and obeying the prophets Allah sellin it that leads us
to strength and power and victory. Brothers and sisters. Make sure to vote your households based on
that, that power of the Quran. And the example of the prophets Allah said and the follower of Rama
and merciful another cooperation with one another, being truthful, being fair and just being strong
with our Eman and our belief in the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala that's what builds strong
households and bring certain individuals and strong communities. Allah who might live in a man
