The importance of family and the use of Alay remodeling are discussed in Islam, as it relates to mercy and compassion. The speaker advises parents to make their own plans for their children, and to ask for forgiveness and guidance from their children. The speaker emphasizes the importance of creating a "bringing stone" for parents to achieve their goals. The use of Alay remodeling is seen as essential in the context of COVID-19, and the default for family matters is mercy and compassion.

			Oh, oh my
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			oh
		
00:05:24 --> 00:06:17
			Alhamdulillah we exalt the Name of Allah the Majestic, the Most High. We put our trust in him and
upon Him do we rely, he sent us a Prophet whose message no sincere person can deny. And he revealed
to us a shady app that we live and we comply by. We ask Him to forgive our sins on the last day and
our good deeds to amplify. Allah subhana wa Tada says in the Quran, yeah, Johanna SUTA Cora Bakula,
the Honda Accord coming up soon Wahida wahala come in Huzzah. Jaha Weber thermen humare. Jalan
cathedra on one is what taco la Hala de Tessa Luna be he one or ham in Allah? How can I leave to
Morocco, Cuba. This is the first verse of Surah Nisa, all mankind, fear Allah and be conscious of
		
00:06:17 --> 00:07:18
			Allah who created all of you from one being. And from that being he created the spouse, Adam and
Hawa. And from the two of them, he created multitudes of men and women. Be conscious of Allah, in
whose names you ask people to do things. And also be conscious of your families. What Allah what or
ham, be conscious of Allah and be conscious of your families. Notice how Allah tells us to be aware
of our families in the same verse that tells us to be aware of him. Today's holdover is going to be
a reminder about family, a reminder about the importance of our loved ones, our relatives, our
mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, and our extended family. If you look
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:29
			at the Quran, the Quran is full of stories about families, Zakariya and Ibrahim, they don't have
children. They're making dua to Allah for children.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:23
			Use of Alayhis Salam has problems with his brothers and family. Yaku has children that are involved
in family issues. We have in Surah tell care have the the orphan that does not have parents, and we
have the parents who lose their child. We have in Surah Luqman verses that talk about the advice
that fathers should give to their sons, so many stories about families in the Quran, and how can
there not be when families are an essential characteristic of life? Every one of us has a family,
every one of us has a family and that family is given by Allah we do not choose our families. We do
not choose how many children we have. We do not control the gender and the quantity of our children.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:09:16
			Yeah, Hubballi mon Yasha enough and we are Hubballi money shot with the code. I will use a widow
Homido Quran and what Ina? Well, yeah, woman Yasha Akiyama to some he gives only boys to some he
gives only girls to some he gives both, and to some he gives none. This is Allah azza wa jal who
chooses our families, we do not choose our families. But we are obliged by Allah to strive to have
the best families. We are obliged by law, to have families that are families of compassion, families
of mercy, families of love. The importance of family in Islam, goes back to the very beginning of
Revelation. In the Hadith in Sahih, Muslim, a man by the name of amber Eben Abba, who was not from
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:59
			Makkah, he was from a faraway town, he heard that the Prophet sallallahu ala he was selling his
preaching something new. So he came to Makkah, and he said, What are you? The Prophet sallallahu
sallam said, I am a prophet and a Nebby. He said, What is a Nebby? He's never heard of a Nebby. He
said, Allah has sent me. So he said with what the prophets have said two things. This is early
Islam, the first two, three years of the Dawa, he says two things. Number one, that Allah be
worshipped. And number two, what until Ceylon or ham families be united families be upon good and
compassion
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:56
			In early Islam, the whole message of Islam was summarized in two commandments, worship Allah and be
good to your family that was Islam in Abyssinia when the king of the Abyssinians Najafi when he
called Jafar. And he said, What is this religion? What does your Prophet sallallahu wasallam teach
you? Once again, in that summary was what he came to us. And he told us to worship Allah, our
Creator, and to be good to our families. All of Islam is summarized in two commandments, worship
Allah and be good to your families. This was Islam in early MCCA. That was no other commandments.
There was no salah, obligated Nozick out no fasting of Ramadan. What was the obligation, worship
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:51
			Allah and be good to your families. In this COVID crisis, every one of us has seen the importance of
family. We can boycott from distant relatives, we can do social distancing from the masjid itself.
We are six feet away from everybody except one category, the one category we are around our family.
And because we are around them, we are discovering both the joys and the pain, both the good and the
bad. Being with our families, it has increased our sensitivities, our awareness, our love our bonds,
and yes also the bickering also the fighting also the tension. So it is so important during this
time of stress, that we remind ourselves of the importance of family that we remind ourselves of the
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:47
			blessings of family that we remind ourselves of the status Allah has given to being good to our
families, in the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim Mustafa LA, our Prophet sallallahu, either he was
sending them said that Allah has said so this hadith is pudsey and it is Mustafa Kiley. It is the
most blessing type of Hadith, in authenticity and in transmission in authenticity Behati and Muslim
in transmission it goes back to Allah. What does the Hadith say? Allah says, another rough man, my
name is a Rahman and from my name, I created a Rahim Rahman Rahim. What is Rahim? Raha means the
womb. And Rahim means in Arabic the concept of family, we can translate this hadith as the
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:47
			following. I am a Ramadan and from my name, I created family and the meaning of family is to be
merciful or rhyme from Rama or Rahim from Rahman r Rahim from the concept of compassion and mercy.
It is correct to state that Allah is telling us that the concept of family is based upon mercy and
compassion. Or Rahim is from Rockman. From my name, Allah says, I created the concept of family. In
the other Hadith in Sahih, Muslim and also in Bahati, that Allah azza wa jal created the creation
when He created everything. And then the Prophet SAW Selim says, A Rahim stood up the family or
rahem stood up and it hung to the Throne of Allah, or Rahim, the family said, Oh Allah, what is my
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:37
			MACOM? In your eyes? What is my status? What is my status of Allah? I want to know what is my
ranking? The family is asking, What rank do I have? Oh Allah. And Allah said, Are you not happy that
I will keep ties I will remain connected with the one who connects with you. And I will disconnect
from the one who disconnects with you. I will break off from the one who breaks you up and I will
remain connected with the one who connects you. The meaning is very clear. The one who preserves
family preserves his relationship with Allah, the One who is kind to family, compassionate to
family, Allah will be kind to him, and the one who breaks family destroys family, Allah will destroy
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:43
			him. In the famous Hadith in Sahih Bukhari our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:59
			the best person amongst you is the one who is the best to their families. And I he said, I'm the
best to my family. The best person amongst you is the one who is the best to your families.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			and I am the best to my family. I speak now to the fathers to the husbands because they are the
majority of the audience right here.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:16:07
			The concept of family is derived from the root for mercy for compassion. You will be merciful when
somebody has made a mistake, you have to be merciful. You will be merciful when a wrong has been
done, you will forgive. That's the meaning of being merciful. The role of the father, the role of
the parent, the role of the husband is to embody compassion and mercy. Yes, strictness has a role to
play, but the default is compassion. Allah did not say from strictness, I created the family. Allah
did not say from either job, I created the family. Allah said, from my name or right man, I created
the family. The default when it comes to family matters is mercy and tenderness and compassion. And
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:27
			dear fathers and Dear mothers, much can be said time is limited. We live in a time of great evil,
great fitna great facade, we live at a time when the iPhones you give your children, the tablets you
give them it opens up a world of evil and have some good as well.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:17:15
			realized your parents, when you and I were teenagers, when you and I were children, we did not have
that technology. Imagine if we had that technology, what would we do with it, your children have
opportunities you did not have, you are giving your children the good and also the bad that you were
say from so realize they might do more than you in good. But they might also slip more than you.
They might achieve more than you in education. But they might also fall worse than you and I felt
because of the technology that we are giving them it's not their fault. And I'm not exonerating the
mistakes they do. But I am saying, do not expect your son or daughter to live the same life that you
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:59
			did. Just like you could not live the same life of your parent. Were you the same as your father, as
your mother, were you able to live the life according to them? You did things they didn't want you
to do, and you got away with it. Realize your children will also do things much more things that you
did not do. It's not their fault is the technology you're giving them. So you have to find the right
balance between strictness and compassion. You have to find the right balance between what is and
what is not allowed. And realize Dear parents, you cannot protect your children completely. You
cannot it's the world we live in. Most important thing is you act in what how you want your child to
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:48
			be exemplified exemplify what it means to be a Muslim man or woman show in your actions. The role
model conduct more important than what you say is what you do. More important than you rebuke is
your lifestyle. Realize Dear parents, most likely you and I will go and your children My children
will live on. Whenever you have a discussion with your child, whenever you have to rebuke your child
whenever you have to be strict. And sometimes you do have to be strict. Remember, a time will come
when you will be gone from this picture, and your son or daughter will be there and you will not
remember don't lose the battle of today. In order to lose the battle of the next generation. Think
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:34
			of a time when you will not be there and your son and daughter will remember I did this mistake and
that's how I father treated me think of that time. You might lose the battle of today but win the
battle of tomorrow. Think long term. Think about when your child becomes a parent and they will
remember your parenting techniques. There is no easy answer Wallahi there is no easy answer. And I
am in the same boat as all of you. Our children are struggling. But my simple advice to you. Family
and compassion, family and Mercy Family and Rama go hand in hand. If you're going to make a mistake.
Make a mistake on the side of compassion. Make a mistake on the side of Rahim because that is what
		
00:19:34 --> 00:20:00
			family is about. Family is about love and compassion and mercy. Make your households households of
love and compassion exemplify Rama exemplify the name of Ramadan in your dealings with your family
and perhaps insha Allah which out at the time will come when you are not here and your son or
daughter will take your place and you will remember the Rama that you had would remember your
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:25
			Allah your lifestyle and that is much more important than one or two conversations that you have May
Allah azza wa jal bless us all with righteous families may Allah azza wa jal make us of those who
listen to the Quran and follow it to the best of our abilities. May Allah subhana wa Tada bless us
with and through the Quran and May He make us of those who is versus they understand. I ask Allah's
forgiveness you as well ask Him for He is the before and the rock man
		
00:20:35 --> 00:21:28
			Alhamdulillah HillWalker then I had a summit Allah de la mula mula Olam, Yoko local foreign ahead.
There are many techniques and advice that can be said about families. There is no time today, but I
will remind myself and you have one and only one. The Quran is full of Diaz for the family. The
Quran teaches us that we should make dua for our parents and our children. Welcome Rob Durham, Houma
Kamara Bayani Sahira, we make dua for our parents. Rob, Donna, habla Nam and as long as you know
what the reality now Kurata Ireland which I didn't want to paint you mama, I'll Sneha leafy the
reality. We make dua for our parents, for our spouses for our children, dear Muslim, how can you
		
00:21:28 --> 00:22:14
			raise your hands to Allah and ask for money and ask for long life and ask for the blessings of this
world and not ask for family? The best blessing of this world is that of a family, this world the
best blessing is that of a family and health. These are the two blessings of this dunya How can you
raise your hands to Allah and not ask Allah for good family? So my advice to me and you is always
make dua to Allah for good families, good children, righteous children, make dua to Allah constantly
for a spouse that will help you attain Jana, for parents that you can ask forgiveness for. For
children that will be like you are better than you and Iman and Taqwa. ask Allah for the guidance of
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:59
			your children. Ask Allah that your children pray your children fast your children follow Eman that
the love of the Quran is in their hearts. The love of Islam is in their hearts constantly make dua
to Allah subhanho wa Taala and never ever forget, as our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
the dua of the parent is always accepted for the child. So make dua and make lots of dua for your
children Allahumma in the domain for a mineral Allama data if you had the Diomedes him but he loves
