bad Brothers and Sisters in Islam, one of the main goals of why Allah sent the prophets one of the
main goals of why there is a direct communication between Allah and mankind is the goal of
establishing justice on Earth. The goal of establishing fairness and equity amongst all of mankind.
Allah says in surah Al Hadid what are called the RSL, now Roussillon build the unity. We have sent
		
00:01:45 --> 00:02:36
			our prophets with clear signs, one Zelner Muhammad Kitab Well, Mia Zan, and we have revealed the
books and we have sent down the scales why Leah Kuma nurse will be pissed so that mankind can
establish justice amongst themselves. And then Allah says and we also sent Iran down as well. So
that this two establishes justice. Now this is a deep versus is not the purpose of today's hooked
up. But what Allah is saying the Quran and Irin established justice, how does the Quran and Iran
establish justice? The Quran establishes justice by making us feel a conscience Eman taqwa, we start
to think about living our lives with fairness and equity. And if we don't have a conscience, and we
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:25
			act with injustice than Iren, meaning punishment, meaning warfare, meaning prison, meaning the
courts and justice are going to establish justice in this earth. So internally, Iman establishes
justice, and externally Law and Society and order and the courts and the jails establish justice to
things established justice, the Quran, the prophetic message, and then externally society. But the
movement doesn't need external society. The movement establishes justice in his or her life. Today's
hug but dear brothers and sisters is one aspect of justice. One important reminder of an area where
unfortunately too much injustice takes place. And that is the injustice that we see amongst family
		
00:03:25 --> 00:04:15
			members, the injustice we see between people who are related by blood, people who are married people
who have a special bond, you would think that they would be the most in terms of being just with one
another. But the sad reality is that one of the main areas where injustice is seen over and over
again, one of the main areas where the rights are not cared about where the who cook are trampled
over where loom and buggy and fitna and facade takes place is between members of one family. Dear
brothers and sisters injustice is evil when it takes place between strangers. What then do you think
of injustice when it takes place between husband wife, between mother and son, between siblings?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:05:00
			What will be the injustice within families? Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us of the consequences
of injustice generically when he says, What type seven Allahu Allah feelin I'm Yama lowvolume moon,
do not ever think that Allah is unaware of what the volume is doing what the unjust person is doing.
Allah is fully aware and Allah is only delaying them until the Day of Judgment. Allah subhana wa
Tada reminds us in the Quran, Allah Allah Allah to Allah here I love all the mean. Allah's curse is
upon the one who does injustice. This is very rare. The Curse of Allah is the worst punishment of
Allah there is nothing that is more painful and harmful than Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			I was cursed because Allah's curse means he shall never show mercy. And when Allah never shows
mercy, you will never get mercy. And Allah mentions one of the categories that he has cursed is the
volume, the one who takes the rights of other people, the one who you SERPs, the one who uses his or
her power to take the rights of other people. Allah says Allah Allah, Allah to Allah here and avoid
him in our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, a person shall remain at ease on the Day of
Judgment, as long as he hasn't done venom to others by shedding their blood or taking the rights
when a person does does gloom than the Day of Judgment, there will be no ease. A person will always
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:23
			have hope on the Day of Judgment. If the sins are between him and Allah, there is hope. But the
minute the sins are between him and other people, the minute that he or she has usurped the rights
of other people, well, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will allow people to be judges of each other.
And when someone else whom you have harmed on the Day of Judgment will be told, take your right do
you think they will forgive you? Do you think they will let you go so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam reminded us that oh people, absolve yourselves of any injustice is in this dunya that you
have done? Or people get rid of any volume you have done? Get rid of it, meaning ask forgiveness,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:07:04
			make up give some money, make up for any injustice you have done before the day when there will be
no excuse. There will be no saying I'm sorry. And the only currency will be the currency of your
good deeds, your good deeds will be given to other people. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
reminded us of the reality of injustice when he said, Do you know who is the bankrupt person in my
Oma? They said, O Messenger of Allah, the brand corrupt person is the one he's taken more loans, and
he doesn't have money to pay so he's bankrupt. The Prophet says Solar System said no, the bankrupt
person is not the one who doesn't have loans and money in this world. The bankrupt person is the one
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:47
			who comes on the day of judgment. And his good deeds are like the mountains, his personal charity,
his sunnah, his Zakah they're like the mountains, but he also comes having harmed other people,
backed by 10 Other people taking the rights of other people. And so on the Day of Judgment, all of
his good deeds will be challenged and Allah's court, every one will come and say, Yeah, Allah, he
did this. Yeah, Allah she did that. And so his good deeds will absolve in front of his eyes, he will
be left with nothing, he will become bankrupt when he has no good deeds to give their evil will be
put onto his scales, because that is the day your Medina that is the day of justice. That is the
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:26
			real day of hisab. And that will be the bankrupt person he thought he had a lot. He thought he's
coming with so much on the day of judgment, but he didn't care about how he treated other people. He
didn't care about the rights of those closest to him, and so all of his good deeds will go away in
front of his eyes, that is the bankrupt person. Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us in the Quran, of
treating our extended family with justice, for example, the verse about orphans and in the in those
days, the people who would take care of orphans they would be like the cousins are second cousins,
the parents have died and so the extended family or uncle will take the orphans or a second cousin
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:09
			will take the orphans, even though their family Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, in the
lady in coluna, Anwar Lilia Tamil Gouldman in kulula people turn to him now, anybody who eats the
property of orphans unjustly even if you're a relative, or an uncle or an aunt, you take that
orphans property that his parents left him and you take advantage of a child, Allah subhanho wa
Taala says you can eat it in this dunya what you eat, it will become the fire of * on the Day of
Judgment, you are eating the fire of * on the day of judgment, and indeed our Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, there is no sin, whose punishment is more hasty in this world before the next
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:53
			along with the next, then the sin of unjust of being unjust and the sin of breaking the ties of
kinship, there is no sin, whose consequences you will face in this world and the next as swiftly and
as quickly as the one who is unjust and the one who breaks the ties of kinship. What then do you
think of combining injustice and breaking the ties of kinship? What do you think of the one who is
unjust to his own family? The one who is unjust to his own sibling, the one who is unjust to his or
her own spouse? How then do you think that person will face Allah azza wa jal on the Day of
Judgment? Dear Muslims, now is the time to have a self inspection before it is too late to have a
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:00
			self inspection. Now is the time to consider where and what have I done to other people, especially
those that are
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			are closest to me, there are so many examples of blooms that come to us all the time. We don't have
time to go over all of them. But some of the examples of the voting for example that parents do to
their children is to not be fair amongst their children to have blatant preferential treatment of
one over the other. And this is the height of injustice. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, do not give one child a gift that you don't give the other children. This is the type of
injustice you're not allowed to show preferential treatment. Yes, in your heart. If it happens, it
happens. But you have to be fair remember the story of Jacobian use of outwardly he was fair, and
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:17
			yet still the people that the children felt jealous that's on them. But yeah, hope did not do
anything outwardly, to show his love of use of being extra of the ways that an injustice is shown as
sometimes gender injustice, and no doubt girls and boys are not the same. But they're equally human.
And they equally deserve love. No doubt the way you show protection to your girls is going to be
different, understandably, but overall, to educate one gender and to leave the other gender backward
and uneducated, that is injustice, to force one gender to get married, and to not care about the
other gender. It is not allowed to force any child, any young man or woman to get married against
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:53
			their will. This is the height of injustice, how can you put your own daughter or your own son and
forced them into a lifelong commitment when they don't want to do so this is a type of injustice.
The flip side, children as well sometimes show injustice to their parents, when their parents most
need them when their parents are elderly, and their children are healthy and they have wealth and
they turn their backs on their parents, they don't care about their parents. This is indeed a type
of injustice, one must take care of one's parents to the best of one's abilities. Also, a type of
bloomin injustice that we see over and over again, is between spouses between couples that are
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:33
			married and Subhanallah to have a few arguments here and there. This is the reality of being
married. But this should not allow us to show injustice to the other party. It should not allow us
to take the rights that is not allowed for us to take brothers and sisters of the greatest sources
and causes of injustice in the world around us is actually between married couples married partners,
whether it is physical abuse, whether it is mental abuse, whether it is financial abuse, it is not
allow to take advantage and each party is guilty in this in this reality, even though no doubt
sometimes men are more guilty of the physical abuse. Women are more guilty of the emotional abuse.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:13:10
			But still, sometimes we find that each way. Yes, it is true. Generally men are more physically
abusive, but there are cases where the woman abuses and the man cannot fight back and does not want
to fight back and there's physical and I've had to deal with these in ourselves in our own
community. And there's cases of financial abuse as well. That a woman is deprived of a livelihood, a
woman is deprived of a decent living because the man is perpetually angry at her. No matter what
happens. No matter what our human takes place. You have to keep yourself in check every party here
the husband and the wife. It is not to allow to go beyond the bounds here as well brothers and
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:51
			sisters, especially when divorce takes place. A divorce is always awkward. A divorce is always
painful, but this is where once a month is tested. This is where one is truly shown. Are you a
believer in Allah? Are you going to keep yourself in check? Or are you going to hurt your partner
your ex partner as much as possible? Allah subhanho wa Taala especially reminds us of not doing
volum in the case of divorce, and especially speaks to the men because each party is guilty of one
thing more than the other. But generally speaking, men are guilty financially of trying to deprive
women of their rights. So Allah says in the Quran, do not take their mouths back if you divorce
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:29
			them, if you decide to divorce, do not take their financial whatever a gift you have given whatever
you have given unto them, do not take it back. And then Allah says what K for Tahuna? Who What are
the battledome ala about how dare you do so when you are so intimate together you to live as a
couple you two did what nobody else is supposed to do. That's a special bond, special intimacy.
Allah references the act of love. Allah references the union and says what Kay for Tahuna Who Have
you no shame Oh man, after what you have done after the lives you have lived now that sometimes
divorce takes place. You don't have to be mean, you don't have to be nasty, and move on with your
		
00:14:29 --> 00:15:00
			son. And the same goes for women as well, and the societies we live in. Sometimes it is the woman
side who takes advantage of the laws here and wants to get more than her share of the Shediac. Now
again, this is a deep topic brothers and sisters and unfortunately, this was not the time to get
into it. And I'm one of the people who definitely is arguing very loudly and clearly. We have to
have frank conversations about alimony about Prenuptial agreements about the rights of the husband
and wife if they decide to divorce. Yes, we have the right to it.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			To have an agreement before marriage and I strongly encourage prenup tools. But this is not the time
to get into the film. The reality is a lot of times in the world that we live in, what this these
courts give is more than what the shitty I might give much more than what the Shetty I might give.
And this is now up to the woman she should go to scholars, she should go to neutral family members
and get a fair assessment what is fair because the Quran does have one time alimony, the Quran does
have what is called Mutata Zawadzki, which is a one off gift that is given which I will tell you
give it one time that for material Hoonah either moves through through Allah has told us in the
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:16
			Quran, when a divorce takes place, the husband should give a final amount to that wife, that final
amount it is based on culture. And there's no question that given the realities that we live in, if
a man has been married 20 years to a woman, and then he divorces her for no reason. And she has been
a stay at home wife, there is no question that she deserves an amount that is commensurate to the
time spent. And this is the job of the scholars to do so. But what that amount is this is something
that she cannot decide she has to get a neutral party she has to get elders and seniors what is a
reasonable amount to take. And once that decision is given, just because the law gives it doesn't
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:59
			mean she has the right to take it. And by the way, this is a two way street here. Sometimes the man
is unjust. Sometimes the woman is unjust. The point is, both parties need to remember they have to
answer to Allah. Both parties need to remember the courts and people will not decide Allah will
decide. There's a very amazing Hadith brothers and sisters that really we should put in mind. Our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, You all come to me as a judge, and you present your cases
to me. And sometimes one of you is more persuasive than the other. So I am convinced so I judge in
his favor, but he knows he's wrong or he's lying. And then the prophets have said and he is the
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:40
			prophet of Allah. Just because I have just done his favor and he knows he is wrong, doesn't mean it
is permissible to take the money that is assigned to him. Allah azza wa jal will account for that.
And if he has taken it unjustly, lying, swearing, giving a false testimony, if he has given false
evidence, then let him know even if I give him the judgment, it is in reality, he is eating a piece
of the fire of *. This is a Hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam judgments in this
world are not the same as judgments in the hereafter. Just because a court you can convince a judge
you can convince the jury and you know you're lying, you know, you're wrong. You have not exonerated
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:22
			yourself in the eyes of Allah. Therefore, husbands and wives who have to go through a divorce, first
and foremost, pray to Allah for sincerity. Yes, you have to get your right from the other through
court get what is due to you No problem. I'm not saying don't get what is not due to, but I am
saying don't go beyond and this applies to both genders. Too many times, we see that each gender
tries to take more than the other. It's not a question of one being guilty more, both are guilty and
Wallahi worse than financial worse than money is when one of the parents brings in the children and
uses the children as an emotional token to get rid of what is anger in their hearts. I do not
		
00:18:22 --> 00:19:03
			understand as a parent, let me be very, very blunt here. I do not understand as a parent, what type
of love a mother or a father has when they go through a divorce. And they're angry at their ex
partner that they then use their own children as a token, and they deprive visitation from the other
parent, they might construct a lie, or they might do or say something they know is unethical and
wrong. Because they're angry at their ex partner. They deprive that partner the right to see their
children the right to visit their children, I do not understand what type of love this is, you will
harm your own children because of your own anger will Allah he this is not worthy of a mother nor is
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:44
			it worthy of a father, How dare a mother or father deprive their own sons and daughters of the
rights of the other parent. Every study has shown every survey has shown that the psychological
welfare of the children is increased when both parents are involved in the lives even if a divorce
takes place. Even if there's angry between the two of you, okay, don't take the children and use
them as tokens between this divorce, give the rights that is due to the other party give the rights
that is you even if the other partner has done voting with you. If they haven't done boom on the
children, why are you bringing the children in get your rights in the court between you and your
		
00:19:44 --> 00:20:00
			spouse? No problem between you and your ex spouse, take your spouse to course get the financial
duty, no problem, but to take it out on the children and to deprive the children of their mother or
their father because you are angry at what he or she has done unto you. Wallahi not only is
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			This immaturity it is harmful to the children and this is the height of boredom. You are showing
volume to innocent children, you're potentially scarring and harming them and you will have to
answer to Allah subhanho wa Taala on the day of judgment and every parent should think long and
hard. Every divorce partner should think long and hard. What will I say on the Day of Judgment when
my ex partner and my children all complained to Allah and say because of my anger, I deprived the
healthy relationship between son and children between father and children and between mother and
children, dear brothers and sisters fear Allah subhana wa Tada and remember what Allah tells us in
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:21
			surah Taha, what Allah tells us in Surah Abba, yo maya, federal Maru man, he will owe me he will be
he will saw Hey, buddy, he was funny he on the Day of Judgment, a person will run away from his
blood brother, a person will see his parents and turn his back on them, a person will see his wife
or wife will see her husband and they will run the other way. Now, in this dunya when we're in
trouble, we run towards family in this dunya we had a bad day we come home, we hug our wife in this
dunya no matter how bad the world is, when our children come, we feel love and comfort. Why on the
Day of Judgment, when it is the most difficult day we see our own blood family. Why does Allah say
		
00:21:21 --> 00:22:02
			we will run away from them, our scholars say because the rights of the family are the biggest rights
and the one who has done boom to his own father mother, the one who has done boom to his own wife,
the one who has done boom to his own children, he will be the most scared of them. Because on that
day, nothing will protect him from the loom he himself has done against his own family members. So
Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us in the Quran on that day, the person who is evil will run away
from his own blood relatives. Contrast this with the believer with the movement who has done no
injustice on Allah subhanho wa Taala says that on that day, when he gets his book in the right time,
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:41
			he will go to his al to his family and Sue, he will say to them, Look, I got my results. The loving
family that is living upon justice, they will celebrate on the Day of Judgment together, the family
that is living according to the Sharia, they will be happy in this world and they will be happy in
the next. And as for the family that is not living in accordance with the Sharia. Not only will they
live a miserable life in this world, but on a day of judgment as well. They will also face face to
painful torment brothers and sisters, justice, justice, justice with your spouse's justice with your
parents justice with your children. And remember, you know your own conscience you know what you
		
00:22:41 --> 00:23:18
			have done that you should not have done, absolve yourself in this world. Get rid of any mis deeds
that you have done in this dunya be careful you do not transgress the rights of other people because
our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said beware of injustice, it took a Volmer for enough volume
of volume out on Yom Okayama beware of boom because bulan will cause you grief voom will cause you
darkness on the Day of Judgment. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah bless me and You we turn through the
Quran and may make us of those who is versus the understand and applies halal and haram throughout
our lifespan as scholars forgiveness you as well ask Him for His love before and the ramen.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:36
			Al Hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah Hill Wahidullah had a summit Alladhina mureed William EULA waldameer
kula who and what I do,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:24:22
			all Muslims have the greatest injustice is that one can do to oneself is to take one's own life and
have the greatest voting that one can do to somebody else is to take his or her life. And the most
sacred life is that of a child, ALLAH SubhanA which Allah says what he then muda to su Illa de them
been quoting it when the child will be asked what sin was I killed for? Wala here it is awkward
brothers and sisters, it is very awkward to mention these realities. But we are all reeling in light
of the tragic incident that has taken place only a few miles away from our messages to one of our
own, you know, a fat what to one of our own families of our own communities. We don't know what to
		
00:24:22 --> 00:25:00
			say what to do. There is a whole World Wind of emotions. And when emotions come, it's difficult to
think rationally. So let me try my best to summarize briefly. It is completely normal to feel this
World Wind of emotions. Every one of these emotions is legitimate. It is a tragedy of the highest
proportions. It makes us sad. It makes us confused. It makes us frustrated and yes, at some level it
makes us angry as well. And each one of these emotions is legit and completely premise
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:47
			Sibyl, brothers and sisters, there's no question that first and foremost our empathy goes out to the
family and the extended family. Indeed, our hearts are saddened by the tragic loss, we feel the loss
of an unnecessary life, we feel a sense of ultimate confusion. Our do is go out to the extended
family that has to deal with this double tragedy of murder and suicide Wallah when was done. But at
the same time, brothers and sisters, let us also be frank and learn from these tragedies, there's
nothing wrong with pointing out that every one of us needs to be extra careful about our own anger,
our own losses about dealing with tragedy and our own personal life. No sadness in our lives should
		
00:25:47 --> 00:26:29
			be the cause of another person's sadness. No tragedy in our personal lives should lead us to inflict
tragedy on ourselves or other people. And to say this doesn't mean we don't have empathy with the
people that have suffered, of course we do. But with that empathy, there also needs to be a frank,
accounting, a frank assessment of ourselves to make sure this does not happen again. Suicide is a
very, very awkward topic, because on the one hand, it is forbidden. On the one hand, without a
doubt, it is a major sin. And yet on the other hand, we can't help but feel at the human level, a
sense of empathy, a sense of pain, a sense of loss, and when that suicide is coupled with a suicide
		
00:26:29 --> 00:27:13
			murder as has taken place. No doubt we're at a loss for words here and indeed, it is indeed an
awkward topic. But you know, the Quran gives us such beauty and how it talks about suicide. Both of
these emotions simultaneously are exactly what the Quran tells us. Allah says in the Quran, Wallah.
Takatsu and forsaken. Don't kill yourselves in the Lucha conda become Rahima Allah is Ever Merciful.
So you begin with empathy. You begin with compassion. You remind yourself Allah is Rahim Allah is
Allah for no matter how bad life is, no matter what tragedy has happened, no matter whom you have
lost, Allah loves you more than anyone else. And whatever tragedy you have been through, you shall
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:49
			come out of it. Insha Allah to Allah bigger, better, stronger with more Iman. And when you meet
Allah subhanho wa Taala every pain that you've had, every suffering you've been inflicted with in
sha Allah, you were patient, you will get so much reward, it will make that pain worth it. So Allah
begins the verse, don't kill yourselves. Allah is Rahim with you. Allah is compassionate with you.
And then Allah azza wa jal speaks in the third person, Woman Yeah, file VALIC. Allah doesn't speak
to the one who has committed suicide. Right now Allah speaking to the one contemplating suicide
first person, don't kill yourself. Allah says, I am merciful to you, then Allah switches to the
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:28
			third person. Whoever does that. Notice the change and pronoun. You don't speak to somebody or
somebody's family directly in anger and hostility. You speak to them with empathy and compassion,
but at the same time here on dismembered when we speak to the masses, we preach Allah's verdict,
Woman Yeah, Father, Daddy got one and we'll Gouldman for soulfulness. Linaro whoever commit suicide,
out of injustice, looting and out of animosity out of a reason that is not legit. Then Allah azza wa
jal will punish them. So we threaten generically, but when we come across an individual person, we
have nothing but sympathy for the family. We have nothing but compassion, there is no contradiction.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:29:06
			This is the beauty of the Sharia generically, we threatened do not commit suicide, Allah azza wa jal
will punish the one who commit suicide and to the person directly. We say, brother or sister don't
contemplate suicide. Allah is merciful. Allah loves you. This is the reality of the Sharia. And this
is exactly what we will preach brothers and sisters, a man committed suicide and the time of the
Prophet sallallahu. I knew he was setting up because of a pain because of an injury. The injury was
so much he couldn't bear the injury. And so he committed suicide and the Sahaba began talking this
person Islam shall never enter Jannah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told them that he had
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:45
			in fact, enter Jannah because of his good deeds that Allah azza wa jal looked at his whole life and
forgave him for that one action. This is the way we speak when a person does something irrationally,
that person, the sahabi. He lost control of his senses. He couldn't bear the pain. And so he did
whatever he did, at the specific individual level, empathy, generically suicide is haram. Suicide is
a major sin, whoever does suicide has Allah's punishment that's generic, but specifics there is
empathy, especially when the deed has been done. And somebody has already done this. We ask Allah's
forgiveness. We don't know the sahabi. The Sahabi was overcome with a type of pain. We do not know
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:59
			how bad it was. And in that pain, he lost control of his rationality and he did something that he
should not have done. The profitsystem himself said I ask Allah for forgiveness, and Allah forgave
him. So when a person does this, it is done. We don't like this. We preach against it.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:38
			but for the person that has done it, we make Allah's We ask Allah to do it because we don't know
their state of mind. Maybe they lost their senses. And if you lose your senses, Allah will not
punish you. If you're literally irrational. You have lost your senses. But we still preach
generically. Dear Muslims, do not get into that state dear Muslims, if you're feeling these types of
emotions, if you overcome, then speak to family and friends come to your local Shu. And yes, seek
professional help. There is no stigma in getting professional help. We now know so much about mental
therapy, about about psychoanalysis. We know so much about professionals who know how to counsel
		
00:30:38 --> 00:31:16
			somebody in grief. We didn't know this before. There's nothing wrong Islamically In fact, it is
obligatory if you're getting these types of thoughts and you have nowhere else to go. It is
obligatory to get help. We don't want to see such tragedies again and again. Sadly, a few years ago,
there was another incident in our extended Dallas community. Now we're having this incident as well.
We need to speak out against it. Dear Muslims, if any of your extended family or friends is speaking
in ways that trouble you is saying things that is bringing alarm bells do not remain silent, be a
part of their lives, show them empathy, give them love and support and if need be, take them to
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:52
			professional therapists, take them to grief counselors, make sure that you do your best to prevent
such tragedies. And if such a tragedy happens we'll law one was done that we ask Allah for
forgiveness for those people. We ask Allah for forgiveness for those that have undergone that. And
then we use this as a lesson for the rest of us. We don't want to see this ever again. Allahumma
