00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Inshallah. Short, hatara, a
continuation of what we did last
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			week, we spoke about setting the
bar higher and raising the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			standard in the Muslim
communities. Mashallah, epic,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			leading the one of the leading
communities in the Muslim you
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			know, communities of America where
mashaAllah, we have his program
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			daily, khaterras, the Masjid is
full. All of that is great, but
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:30
			always a Muslim looks at a higher
level. So we spoke last week about
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			some of the scholars of Islam, for
example, Al Hafid, Al mundhiri,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			the author of tahib, and how at a
very young age he was able to
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			accomplish so much, Imam Al
Bukhari being able to accomplish
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			so much, and then Imam as Shafi,
being able to accomplish so much.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			The reason why we started with
these scholars is because we were
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			covering that book, and it just
came about. But of course, any
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			time we're trying to look for role
models, looking for a system, we
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			always go back to the era of the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			sallam, and we see what the
Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			did, and what his companions did.
So when we look at that, there are
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			certain Sahaba, young Sahaba, I
want to mention two, three of
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			them, just as an inspiration for
the children and for their parents
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:25
			of how we can raise the bar and
how we can expect more and aim for
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:30
			higher standards. So when we look
at that, look at Subhanallah Ali
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			Radi Allahu Anhu. All of us know
who he is, but did we know that he
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			was one of the first person to
accept Islam at the age of 10? He
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			had to come up with this level of
maturity and this level of thing
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			on his own, because nobody else in
his family is accepting Islam. His
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			father is not accepting but look
at Ali Radi Allahu anhu, going to
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			some more example in details we
know the Prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			wa sallam is in Makkah. Who does
he send to Medina? Musa ibn Umar,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:10
			a young guy who grew up in luxury,
who grew up in a household in
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			which he got whatever he wanted.
He went and started giving dawah
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:19
			in Medina to where multiple
families accepted Islam on his
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			hand, a young kid today, we ask a
teenager for the smallest thing,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			memorize Quran. Go become a
student of knowledge. Go give
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			dawah. Volunteer, become active in
your Masjid. All of that. And they
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			think it's a big deal. But when
you read about the Sahaba, it was
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			as a very young age. They took
Islam, they took ownership of it,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			and they represented it to the
best way possible. When Musa bib,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			numeral the Allah, one who is in
Medina, he creates such an
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			environment that even though the
Prophet salallahu, Alam is not
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			there, people are longing for him.
People are talking about him.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			People are wishing that they can
see and one of those examples is
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			an asynchrony Allahu anhu, an
asylum. Amari Allahu is a young
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			child, less than 10 years old, and
his mom is telling him about the
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			Prophet sallallahu, Abu Salam, and
he falls in love with him before
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			even seeing him. Today, we have to
ask ourselves, the adults have to
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			ask this, which one of my child is
in love with the Prophet
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
because we see the sahaba. These
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			are also Sahaba who did not see
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			sallam, but they talked about him.
They learned about him to the
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			extent that they fell in love.
Their children fell in love. ANNA
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			Sidney, Malik used to be like I
wish I could go to Makkah to see
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			him, or I wish the Prophet
salallahu alaihi wasallam can come
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			so I can see him. And when the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			comes, everybody goes forward to
give him a gift. And the mother of
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:58
			an Allahu AK, she has nothing to
give to the prophesy Allahu Alam,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			she takes her child, 10 years old,
an asynchnamatic The Prophet
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam. Used
to call him unes, right? It's but
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:12
			tasried as a loving word, like
young annas. And she takes him and
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			gives him to the Prophet salallahu
Alam, and said, O Prophet of
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			Allah, I want him to become your
Khadim. I want him to become your
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:25
			servant. Remember, Islam is not so
great now that the ruling power,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			or anything like that, there is
not that many people accepting
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			Islam. Islam is still people are
torturing our people are attacking
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			and all that today, yeah, we see
Islam this great power at that
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			time, it was something very
minute. Despite that, her mother,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			his mother, asyndemand's mother
takes him, gives him to the
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			Prophet salallahu, alayhi wa
sallam, and says, O Prophet of
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Allah, I want him to be your
Khadim. I want him to be your
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:57
			servant. Imagine we are giving our
child to become a Khadim of Islam.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			You might think that he has been.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Coming. What is he going to earn?
What is he going to do? How is he
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			going to live? What is going to be
this? What's going to be that? But
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			Allah tells us, and Allah shows
us, manta Raka, Shayla, Awad,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			Abullah, minhu, whoever leaves
something for Allah, Subhanahu wa
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			taala, Allah gives him something
better than that. Humay saradi,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			Allahu anha, rather than
dedicating her child to the riches
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			of the world to become this and
become that, she puts him in the
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			service of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. And he's with
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, serving him as a servant
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			for 10 years. And after the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			sallam passes away. What happens
to Alad? What happens to servants?
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			Usually, people don't care. People
just push them to this side, that
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			side, an asynchrony. Malik of the
Allah, one who becomes the most
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			respected, the most honorable, the
most sought after person amongst
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			the Sahaba and after, as soon as
the Sahaba passes away, people
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			from all over the world are coming
to sit to an asylum aliquot the
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			Allahu anhu, asking him to make
dua, asking him to narrate a
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:12
			hadith. And Allah, Subhanahu wa
Taala has put so much barakah in
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			an asylum. Aliquy, Allahu Anhu his
life because of the dua of the
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:21
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
allahummadi, he Wafi Amari, that
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			Allah has given him so many
children that he had more than 50
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			grandchildren. Allah has given him
so much wealth that he just had a
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			tremendous amount. And Allah made
him live for so long that he was
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			one of the longest living Sahaba
radi, Allahu, anhu, all of that.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:44
			Why? Because the mother knew that
if I dedicate my child to the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			deen, Allah will not waste him.
Allah will not make him go left
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			and right. This was the smartness
of the mother. The mother gave him
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:58
			to servitude of Allah. Gave him to
the servant of the Prophet
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but
Allah, subhanho wa Taala raised
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:06
			them to a level that today, after
1400 years, we are talking about
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			him. Today, after 1400 years,
people are naming their children
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:16
			after him. And even at that time,
even amongst the greatest of the
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			company, of the company, the best
of the timing, the best of the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			timing, the best of the
generation, was that of the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam, even among them, an asylum
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			article, the Allah, one who is one
of those stars, one of those
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			people that everybody knew about,
he passes away. He's not even the
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, pass away and an
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			asynchrony, malaria, the Allah,
one who is not even 20.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			Look at the status that he has
achieved at this stage and
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			asynchronous the Allah, one who
isn't the only Sahabi at this
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			young age, who's achieved such a
tremendous level of honor, respect
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			and izzah in the eyes of people,
you have Subhanallah Zayd ibn
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			abitra Radi Allahu Anhu. When the
Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			sallam, goes to Madina. He's about
six, seven years old. He dedicated
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			himself to the Quran. And his
early teens, he becomes qatibul
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			Wahi. He gets the tremendous
opportunity of writing down wahi,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:18
			and one of the only people who
actually wrote the wahi. And when
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam needed somebody to learn a
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			whole entire language. It comes in
sunnah. Abhi Dawood that when the
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
wanted somebody to translate from
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			Hebrew to Arabic, he told zaydub
nusabb, I want you to learn
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:37
			Hebrew. He went and learned it in
two weeks. He went and learned it
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			in two weeks he would come and he
would translate for the Prophet
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam, the
Prophet sallallahu. Alayhi wa
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			sallam passes away an asynchronous
one who is in his teens, young
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:52
			kid, and what Abu Bakr RadiAllahu,
one who gives him one of the
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:58
			greatest tasks anybody ever has
been given in this ummah till the
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			last day, one of the greatest task
Abu Bakr RadiAllahu gives them is
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:07
			what Jamal Quran, the whole
process of collecting the
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:13
			different pieces of the Quran and
putting it to one book, putting
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:18
			into one piece who was giving this
task? Zayd Musa Abu taradi Allahu
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			anhu, a young Sahabi. So my dear
respected community, let's raise
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			the power higher. Let's not be
content with just the memorization
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			of the Quran. Let's not be content
with just coming to the masjid.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:36
			Let's aim for how our children can
become Islamic scholars. Can
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			become scholars in sciences and
mathematics and economics, in
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			sciences in the tafsir and
Sciences of the Hadith and
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48
			Sciences of the Aqeedah. These are
what we want our kids to become.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			We need to come out of this
mentality that the West has put
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			into us, that when you're 18,
you're an adult, when you're 21
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			you're allowed to do this. We do
not need to look at 18 or 20.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			21 for us, our planning for our
children become before they're
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:10
			born, we start to think. Look at
Maryam alaihi salam, right? What
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			are her parents thinking? Even
before she's born, we will
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			dedicate to Allah, Subhanahu wa
taala, before the children are
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:21
			born, we say we will dedicate them
to Allah. We plan for them of how
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			they will learn, how will they be
raised in a Muslim community, and
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			how can they contribute to the
Muslim ummah, whether that is in
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:34
			the worldly sciences, whether that
is in the Dini sciences, and to
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			say, we don't even need to
separate both. They can become the
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			greatest of the scholars in both
sciences not only contribute to
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			the Muslim world, but contribute
to the global civilization. This
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			is the aim. This is the bar. This
is the standard that we need to
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			reach. We ask Allah subhana wa
Taala to give us the ability to
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			understand. Ask Allah subhanahu wa
taala the ability to understand
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			and to implement and to preach to
others. WA dawah alhamdulillahi,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Rabbil Alameen wa Salaam Alaikum.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:13
			Reena,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			swag,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:33
