			and Hamdulillah we praise Allah subhanahu wa Tada who created the creation. And we ask Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah to guide us to the straight path and to cleanse our hearts and we seek refuge in
Allah subhana wa Taala from the evil of our souls and the consequences of our actions, whomever
Allah guides, none can miss guide and whomever he chooses to misguide, none can guide him to the
straight path, a bear witness and I testify that there is no God except Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah, and that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is his final prophet and his most perfect
worshipper. As to what follows Allah reminds us to be conscious of him in the Quran, when he says,
		

			Yeah, you have Lavina I'm an otaku. Allahu Akbar to autin what are temotu Illa? Anta Muslim moon? Do
you have brothers and sisters
		

			800 years ago from this very week, actually, one of the greatest disasters in our Islamic history
and frankly in world history occurred. And that is the invasion and the decimation of the Muslim
lands by the Mongols, and today's brief hutzpah, I want to give myself and you a brief lesson in
history. To learn about one of the most iconic episodes in our own OMA, a very dark episode that
completely changed the course of not only Muslim history, but world history, so that in sha Allah
Tada, we can extract some benefits from that dark era. The invasion of Cengiz, Han Ganges Han, is
one of the most unexpected occurrences in human history, nobody could have predicted it. And that is
		

			because the land of Mongolia where Genghis Khan was from, was considered to be a backward land, a
land full of what they would call barbarians, a land of people who were never united. There were a
bunch of people we will call them Bedouins, their equivalents fighting amongst each other, not
having any unified religion, not having any culture. They didn't have a right to their own language.
They didn't record their own language. And it just so happened Allah's cover that one person amongst
them with a by the name of Genghis Khan, with a very interesting history, managed to over the course
of three decades unite his people under his flag and Banner. This was the first time that what we
		

			now call Mongolia was united. This was the first time that hundreds of 1000s of people of that
region were under one empire and one dynasty and that was none other than the Chinese Han Dynasty.
Now the greater civilization next to Genghis Khan was a Muslim civilization, the land of Sumer Khan,
the lander Bahara, the Hawa ism SHA empire, it is now today, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, these lands,
it was the civilization of great magnificence and the heritage that they have we still see the
buildings to this day. I was fortunate to have visited this land two three years ago, and it is
truly It's mind boggling what they have achieved. Cengiz Han sent an envoy of peace, and he sent
		

			some traders to establish cordial relations with the Muslim empire. But Subhanallah the first
village that they entered the first small town that they entered, the mayor or the local person got
greedy, and he confiscated the entire trade, and he killed one or two of the people, and he acted in
a very arrogant manner. So Cengiz, Han sent an ambassador, not just traders, an ambassador to the
Sultan himself. His name was Mohammed kala DISM Shah. And in those days you have to understand the
Sultan of every region is like a mini Khalifa. It's not like a unified heylife. The Khilafah for
most of our history, frankly, was a token figure. And under the halo four you had major dynasties
		

			that would pay Token Service Yes, where the Wii U or the Khalifa but in reality, they are like kings
with their own dynasties and the Hawa ism Shah dynasty was no exception. It was essentially the mini
Khalifa. He is in charge of himself.
		

			Cengiz Khan sends an ambassador and says your local governor, your local mayor, did such and such
and I request you from one state to another you take care of this person
		

			And you pay us the blood money and you return to us the goods that were confiscated. For whatever
reason this will fall on his name was Mohammed quietism Shah, the Sultan executed the ambassadors.
Now you understand the ambassadors are protected by global understandings, even in our Shetty out,
they are protected. You don't hurt ambassadors. But this is the reality of politicians have rulers
of all times in places. Sometimes they act many times they act in an arrogant manner. And perhaps he
thought, Who is this person to tell me what to do? What is this new dynasty empire? What are they
going to do? So he sent the heads of the ambassador's back to Genghis Khan Subhanallah historians
		

			mentioned. In all likelihood, Genghis Khan had no intention of going outside of his land. In all
likelihood, he was happy being a part of his people. And that's it. This incident acted as the
catalyst to enrage him to the extent that he changed the course of history by starting to conquer
the known world. The ill Hornets Empire, the Empire of Genghis Khan, eventually became the largest
empire known to mankind during any course of any period of history. And the catalyst for all of this
was one of our own soul bonds, disobeying the shitty out of Allah and disobeying known protocols and
policies and acting arrogantly against somebody whom he thought, what is he going to do? He's a new
		

			king. He's a new power. I'm far more powerful than him. And frankly, the whole autism Empire was a
magnificent empire. And they had a sense of arrogance. What is this new dynasty think he's going to
do? Well, Cengiz, Han decided that this response required a response from his end, and he gathered
together his Mongolian warriors, and they were fierce warriors. And they had trained their beasts to
write in a certain manner, and they had specific types of weaponry that the Muslims did not have,
even though the Muslims excelled in some areas, the Mongolians, excelled and others and in
particular, they had bows and arrows that were much more powerful than that of the Muslims. And they
		

			could also ride their horses in a different manner and do certain things that the Muslims could not
do. And they had quantity and they had motivation. And so Cengiz, Han attacked and invaded the lands
of some other cons. And he began with the city, the late largest city closest to him. And that is
the city of Bahara, where once upon a time Imam Al Bukhari taught to Sahaba that Bahara, the famous
Bahara were so many scholars of our religion were so many ordermark and it is a magnificent city to
this day, he attacked Bahara. And the books of history mentioned, he gathered the people in the
Grand Mosque of Bukhara, and he entered with his horse and his shoes. And he sat on the pulpit of
		

			the Grand Mosque of Bukhara. I was there two three years ago, and I was surprised to hear the same
pillar that still stands to this day, 150 feet tall, that same pillar was watching his console, it
is still there, the location with the machine is the same, but the walls of the machine have been
changed. But the pillar is the same. The minaret is exactly the same, which is console, he sat on
the main bar, and he gave them a hot tub, ah, quote unquote hot tub is not a Muslim, that every one
of us should pay attention to. He said in his language, it was translated into Arabic, he said,
		

			Oh Muslims, I am the punishment of your God against you. Because you have disobeyed your own God.
		

			I am the punishment the I thou Bala against you, because you yourself abandoned your religion. And
you didn't act in accordance with your own protocols. So your God has sent me against you to punish
you Subhanallah what profundity and then He massacred most of the cities Subhanallah and this was
the beginning of many other massacres to come. Genghis Khan understood as a tactic of war, that he
could not conquer the entire globe simply by one tribe of Mongolians. Rather he utilized the tactic
of fear in a very amazing manner. He was one of the first people to understand the potency of
spreading fear. This is real terrorism to spread terror. He understood this reality. I know the
		

			irony here historians mentioned Changez Khan in his personal life was a very kind and a very soft
person. He showed love to children, etc. But as a warrior, as a politician, as a leader, history has
hardly known anybody more ruthless than him. And he utilized this ruthlessness against the Muslims.
He He instituted the tactic of massacring an entire city and then taking the skulls and making a
pyramid of the skulls of the people outside that city. This was a tactic. What is the tactic? Can
you imagine
		

			When the army goes to the next city, what do you think that city is going to do? They're going to
fight or they're going to negotiate a peace treaty. So from Bahara, he went to some other country,
and He massacred half the city of someone. And then he marched to one of the largest cities of the
time. It is a city none of you have heard of, because of what Genghis Khan did. It is a city that
was one of the most magnificent cities of the autism Empire. It is called Oregon, and Oregon she
stood up and tried to fight and they could not fight. So when Genghis Khan captured Oregon's He
massacred every single man, woman, child, even donkey and horse. And this is a typical because at
		

			least you keep the prisoners of war, you keep the animals, but he wanted to send a message. This is
what's going to happen to anybody who dares crosses my path, the massacre of Oregon's sent
shockwaves throughout the globe, and throughout the Muslim world, because the level of brutality was
unprecedented. It is said that the massacre of Oregon which was one of the worst massacres of all of
medieval human history, of all of pre modernity, before atom bombs and whatnot, The Mastercraft
order against is one of the worst in the entire history of mankind. And he did this to send that
message to the rest of the world. Eventually, Genghis Khan himself passed away. He was already an
		

			elderly man when this war began, he died in 1227. And he had four sons, and he called his sons and
he goes, I don't want you to fight amongst yourselves, I will divide the land into four. And each
one will be the king of that for each one will divide the empire into four, each one will go and you
will then conquer your part of the world, east, west, north south, you're not going to fight each
other. That was his vision. And so in the next generation, the Mongol Empire founded by Genghis Khan
spread throughout the entire known world, it attacked not only Muslim lands, not related to our
code, but today it even entered Europe. It even entered Poland and Russia and other places and
		

			Europeans feared the wrath of the Mongols. In 1251, one of the grandsons of Genghis Khan mancave was
made the great Han and monkey decided that they were powerful enough to take on the greatest
superpower at the time. And that was the abovesaid Empire. The superpower of the world at that time
was our superpower the opposite empire. Forget London and Rome. These were nothing when London had
10,000 people living in it, but that had a million people living in it. When London did not have a
single university, Baghdad had Madras as universities and every corner when London had zero
bookstores and zero libraries bought dad had the largest library in the world at that time. So
		

			monkey says I'm going to take on the busted empire. Long story short, he launched the largest
expedition known to the Mongolians, and eventually, in 1258, after a number of battles, they laid
siege to Baghdad, they lead seas to Baghdad, the greatest city in the world at the time, and
eventually conquered above that. And when they conquered above that, what will make you understand
not only what they did, but the after effects of the conquest of Baghdad. The number of people that
were massacred, it is estimated might have been up to 1 million at the very least half a million.
Who's going to record statistics now realize when we say half a million, think about the fact that
		

			these people are going to be killed person by person. There is no bomb atomic bomb. It sorts one
after the other men, women children, and he did this again. This is the grandson of Genghis Khan.
Monty hula cool so monkey sent his brother hula Kohan hula Kohan is the grandson of Genghis Khan,
and his older brother is the Great Khan his older brother is the ruler of the Mongolian empire. His
younger brother is sent as the leader against the Muslim lands, hula Chohan massacres and pillages
Baghdad and Baghdad never returned to His glory days since 1258. The above said Empire came to an
abrupt halt one of the most powerful dynasties, the land of how Runa Rashid that is what Baghdad is
		

			the land of the 1001 nights, the land of the largest libraries and Madras as a Masters in the world.
It is completely decimated until there is hardly a soul left in it. It took more than a century for
the city itself to have inhabitants again, and He massacred up to maybe 1 million people. And not
only that, because the Mongolian empire was a very superstitious one. And they did not like books.
They felt that books were black magic. They said how can a person open a book and read the thoughts
of another person the author, this must be black magic. There is no other explanation. So
		

			They were very superstitious about books. So they took the largest libraries of Baghdad, so much
treasure knowledge, so many books that we could have benefited from, and they dumped them in the
river Euphrates. It has said that for months, the river was black and dark because of the ink of the
books that have forever been lost. That wasn't the end of Hood aku Khan's conquests, they then moved
on to be led the sham and they laid siege to Damascus. And they continued their March onwards. If
you read the historians of that timeframe, if you read people like even our sakan and the great
scholars, they literally thought this is a Yama this is your juja and module some of them said this
		

			must be Jewish and my Jewish How can this great destruction because it must be the end of the world.
There is no coming back the Khilafah has been abolished, there is no enough anymore, there is no
dynasties to stand up and fight them. How are we ever going to survive? There was a feeling of
despair legitimately. So there was a feeling of fear of paranoia that overtook the entire world.
What happened? Here we all are at hamdulillah the OMA is alive and strong. What happened? You see,
Allah azza wa jal is the best of all planners, and no one can go against the clutter of Allah
subhanho wa taala. Allah subhanho wa Taala within the Ummah brought forth, someone who would take on
		

			this dynasty, and not only that one of the most interesting things and this is how Allah azza wa jal
works in ways beyond our control. Another grandson of Changez Khan, another grandson of Cengiz, Han
bear kid, converted to Islam, and became an enemy of his cousin who Rocco SubhanAllah. This is how
Allah works. One of the main leaders within the dynasty convert to Islam, and he says that Hoolock
who has sacked all of the cities of the Muslims, and he has killed the Khalifa by Allah I will call
him to account for the blood that he has shed. This is Polanco, Hans cousin. My hotel cause cousin
burqa and burqa became an ally of the Muslims and burqa helped a small Muslim dynasty, who up until
		

			that point in time was a footnote in history. Nobody would have heard of this dynasty had it not
been for this change in course of history. The Abbas's have been gotten rid of the Howard ism Shah
is done the hooded dynasty by the way, the Mongols even weakened the Delhi Sultanate. It was one of
the reasons why eventually there is alternate collapse. And then Baba comes in the middle dynasty
begins, he weakened he wasn't able to destroy he weakened the Delhi Sultanate all the way in Delhi.
That's the forces of the Mongols. What happened was when Barraca converted to Islam, a small dynasty
was given help and aid and Allah chose that dynasty to save the rest of the ummah. And that is the
		

			dynasty known as the Mamelukes, the Mameluke empire. It was a small dynasty, controlling a province
that at the time was not one of the most important it was Egypt and areas a bit at a sham. At that
time, Egypt had not become central to the Islamic civilization. It was the rise of the Mon Luke's
that made Egypt what it is today. And so the mom Luke's stood up, and with the help of burqa with
the help of burqa the grandson of hula of Genghis Khan, the Mongols, the Mongols, and the mom,
Luke's had a very major battle in this very week of September in the year 1260. In this very week of
September 1260, they had the famous battle that every one of you should know, because it is one of
		

			the most iconic battles not just in Muslim history in human history, that is the battle of Angel
route, in which for the first time ever, the Mongols were destroyed and decimated. Because there was
this perception that Mongols cannot be defeated. There was this superstition that they're not even
human because the reality of their expansion it belied common sense. So legends began to form this
is a species of beasts have beasts of animal, they're not actually human beings, they cannot be
defeated. Well, the mum looks stood up, and by the blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada, defeated and
gave a resounding defeat to the army of the hula Kohan that had reached all the way to fell asleep,
		

			and this is in the Battle of Angel loot. And from this battle, eventually, the Muslim ummah began to
recover the mom Luke's invited over one of the remnants of the Khalifa, and they put him as a shadow
Khalifa and the Mamluks took charge for another three 400 years until the Ottomans came. And the
Ottomans then took over the Khilafah. And the rest, as they say is history by the way for the
students of history here and the students in military history as well. The Battle of Angel Ruth is
also interesting for another reason, it was the first time in human history that gunpowder was used
ever. The first time gunpowder was used was by us Muslims. Back in the day we didn't look. We didn't
		

			probably
		

			Problem with technology. We took everything good from every civilization these days. We are very
scared to take anything we're very narrow minded the back in the day the Muslims understood if
another civilization has good we can take it. And so the Muslims were the ones the first time in
human history, they took gunpowder and they used it effectively against the horses of the of the
Mongols. By the way, the gunpowder was not used for guns, it was used just for noise. Back then they
still hadn't figured out how to put the gunpowder put a bullet put a cannon still too early, but
they used it for noise against the horses. And that was one of the main causes of the victory. Now
		

			bottom line with all of this, the Mamluks established themselves as the premier dynasty, the Khalifa
the Khilafah moved to Cairo. This is where Cairo begins its ascent and Egypt begins its intellectual
rise in the era of the mom, Look, Mom looks until 1517 When the Khilafah was transferred to Ottoman
lands, and then Subhanallah remember, Genghis Khan divided the world into four, three of those four
principalities, three of them eventually embraced Islam, and they spread Islam in the very regions
of the Mongol Dynasty, and the rest of the dynasty fizzled out. And this was Allah azza wa jal. The
other question arises, what are some of the benefits we can learn from the reality of this incident
		

			800 years ago?
		

			So ban Radi Allahu Allah says that I heard the Prophet Sall Allahu Allah He was selling them say,
Allah subhana wa Tala unrolled this whole world for me. And I saw the eastern most and the western
most parts of this world. And I saw that my ummah had reached the eastern most, as long as it has
reached the western most as well. Both sides my OMA will be there. So I asked Allah subhana wa Tada.
I asked Allah subhana wa Taala that Oh Allah, do not destroy my OMA entirely, do not destroy them
because of a plague. Oh Allah, do not destroy my ummah, because of a disease of Allah do not destroy
my ummah, because of an external enemy who shall come and attack them, make sure they're never
		

			destroyed. So Allah subhanho wa Taala responded back, I did this and something Muslim, Allah
responded back to the prophets, Allah Allahu Allah, he was sending me out of school, Allah, Allah
responded back to him, my father and mother has gone forth and nothing changes. It's your own must
shall not be destroyed by plague. Your own must shall not be destroyed by famine, and your own must
shall never be destroyed by an external enemy who comes in and eliminates them down to the last man.
That's never going to happen. But your Amma shall be harmed from fighting from within that so home
Boehner home, they will fight one another. That is the bigger thing. This is what Allah said to our
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And if you look at the history of Islam, during the invasion of
the Mongols during the invasion of the conquests in Spain during the colonization of this of these
lands, 200 years ago, the Muslim lands, you find the biggest threat was not just external. It was
internal division and bickering and power and hunger and greed, Muslim fighting Muslim Muslim not
allying against Muslim, and we see this from the time of the Mongols, and every single time this
happened. This is one of the most important lessons brothers and sisters, those who are attacking or
going to attack, we need to be united. If you study history, the reason why Baghdad fell was because
		

			of an internal trader from within the caliphal Palace, somebody from within the palace purchase for
a measly freedom with some money he betrayed the Khalifa. This is the reality of what happened
throughout our history of the brightest lessons to learn, though, and this is the main point of the
hook. But today of the lessons we learned is that Subhanallah politics is politics. And kings come
and go when Queens come and go, and kala offers rise and fall and politicians rise and fall. We
don't pin our hopes on politics. This is my reality. Yes, it's good if we have a strong dynasty.
Yes, it's good if we have a strong reality, but this ummah is more powerful than any political
		

			dynasty. Even if the Ambassade caliphate falls, even if the how autism Shah is destroyed. Even if
the hooded dynasty is destroyed by the Mongols. The OMA shall never be destroyed no matter what
happens. And in the aftermath of the Mongol invasion when people thought that's it, they almost gone
the almost dead. How will we ever recover? Subhanallah some of our most powerful civilizations, the
Mughal dynasty, they were called Mughals, because people thought they're acting like the Mongols or
their descendants and the Mongols Because Baba is actually a biological descendant of the Hmong of
Genghis Khan. And so they call that dynasty Mughal after the Mongols. Some of them was powerful
		

			dynasties, the Ottoman Empire, the Mughal empire, Eve
		

			In the Safavid Empire, the mom Luke Empire they came after and because of the effects of the
Mongols, Allah azza wa jal works in ways we don't understand and we thought at the time Hello us
what's going to happen that the hood Khalifa is gone, the Abbas was are gone. But from the ashes of
what Genghis Khan had done, Rose new generations and new giants even greater ADAMA, shareholder
Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, one of the brightest minds of this ummah, he fought against the Mongols, and
many people analyze him psychologically, that one of the reasons he was who he was, is was a
response to the Mongols. It made him that fierce it made him that legendary that courageous to fight
		

			against the Mongols, so many great routes came as well. So brothers and sisters, since the time of
the Mongols, we've had many problems, perhaps the biggest of them, not time for this, the
colonization of our lands and the disruption of the Ottoman Empire and the breakdown of the Khilafah
very sad times, no doubt about that. But one thing we need to be firm, no matter what happens
politically, no matter what happens around the world, yes, it's painful and yes, the loss of life is
very, very painful to us. But Allah has promised to protect something more important than my life
and yours, and that is the life of the Ummah, the Ummah and the intellectual and spiritual
		

			capabilities of this ummah shall always be alive until the Day of Judgment, who will lead the
outside of Rasulullah who will who were Dean and help create the you'll hero who are the Dean
equally well located El Capitan this religion shall always be apparent, it should always be
victorious. It should always be ever present in this world until the day of judgment. And no matter
how many Cengiz hands come, how many colonizers come, and how many enemies come, the OMA shall be
protected intellectually, spiritually, it shall be protected because our protector is none other
than Allah subhanahu wa Allah may Allah bless me and you with and through the Quran, and may make us
		

			of those who is vs. They understand and applies halal and haram throughout our lifespan Escalus
forgiveness, you as well ask him for his food and the ramen.
		

			hamdulillah All praise is due to Allah, the One and the unique. He it is whom we worship, and it is
his aid that we seek. He is the Lord of the oppressed. And he answers the prayer of the week as to
what follows on an unrelated but a very, very important topic. This week, is the National Suicide
Prevention Week of this country. And it is a topic that I have spoken about before and others have
spoken about it as well. Some of you find it awkward, but your awkwardness is not going to stop the
rest of us from preaching and perhaps saving a life. We have to be aware of brothers and sisters,
that suicide is on the rise in a manner that is not just unprecedented, but inexplicable. We don't
		

			understand why in this country, it is the 12th cause of death of the entire population. In the state
of Texas, the suicide rate has risen over 30% It is now the 11th cause of death of the entire state.
Think about that you have cancer you have you know sickness, you have this not number 11 in this
state is people taking their lives. And the number one demographics young men, young men in
particular the number one demographics. In fact, in a certain category of young men, I think from 11
to 20 or something, it is the second highest cause of death Subhanallah second highest costs, and
anybody who thinks that our community is safe, has not understood the reality of our community.
		

			Every few weeks here in Dallas, a janazah is prayed over one of our own who for whatever reasons
ended their own life. And brothers and sisters, it is important that as parents, as educators, as
community leaders, we understand the symptoms, the telltale signs, we are monitoring. When we see a
young one, when we see our own son, usually it's a son, sometimes a doctor, when we see our own
loved ones going down this path. It is imperative we educate ourselves about the symptoms. I have
given a whole host but others have given an log on the line and check very briefly. One of the main
symptoms is complete withdrawal from society to change one's moods radically for no reason, to start
		

			blaming oneself, to first hear your son or daughter start saying I wish I weren't alive, the world
would be a better place without me. These types of things when you start hearing them, you start
seeing a mood change very radically. You start seeing a decline into depression. You start hearing
the the notion of the wish that I wish I were not here, I wish I were dead. These are all symptoms
and signs that you start alarm bells in your own in your own brain. You should read
		

			lies when you see this, you need to take this challenge seriously. And I have said this before, I
will say it again. Times have changed. Maybe we don't understand why this generation is feeling this
way. It doesn't change the fact that they are. It doesn't change, you're not understanding and my
not understanding is not going to change the reality. And the reality speak to any psychiatrists
speak to any person in therapy, they will tell you, the reality is depression. And also thoughts of
suicide are rising exponentially in the next generation. And that includes our own children that
includes our own our own kith and kin. So parents, community leaders, educate yourselves about the
		

			symptoms of depression and suicide, understand that it is a diagnosable disease. It is a disease of
the mind, do not dismiss it, our generation and our elders, they were on the more dismissive side,
okay, that's fine. That was their generation. They were wrong. We cannot dismiss depression. We
cannot just say, Oh, this is a figment of your imagination. It doesn't change the fact it's an
actual tangible psychological psychiatrically diagnosable disease. And therapy does help, not just
Imani Imani is also helpful, good friends helpful. But therapy does help as well. So when you find a
young man or woman, when you find somebody whom you feel is going down this path, engage with them,
		

			reach out to them, show them that they are wanted and loved brothers and sisters, I will tell you
one episode in my own office and my own interactions with Allah He It shook me to the core, a young
man from our own community, our own Dallas community, wanted to get rid of his own life. And I'm
trying to explain to him and what not one phrase he said, It struck me.
		

			He said, The one reason I didn't do that was because I knew my mother loved me, and it would cause
her harm, it would feel she would feel hurt. So in order to not cause her pain, I didn't do it. This
phrase SubhanAllah. What saved him was the fact he knew his mother loved him. And he knew the pain
he would cause his mother. That simple Realisation to know that a person is loved to know that a
person feels validated. That's on us. That's our job to make sure because all too often such young
men or such young women feel nobody cares about me. My parents don't like me they think I'm a
disappointment. My parents think I'm the biggest decision regret they ever had my heard my dad say
		

			so I heard my mom say I wish I wasn't born. When you start hearing and start thinking along with
modern culture, along with everything, along with whatever it might be, I don't know, I'm not a
psychiatrist. I can diagnose. I don't understand why, but it is on the rise. And I know that one
suicide is not is more than enough for our community much more every few weeks is happening. If we
can save one life, if we can save one of our youth from going down this path, as Allah says it is as
if we have saved all of mankind. So I urge all of you, all of you to reorient your thinking when it
comes to suicide. When it comes to depression. I urge all of you to be vigilant, especially with
		

			your teenagers, especially with the next generation, no matter what they've done, okay? Sometimes
they have to be rebuked, understandably, but that rebuke must be within love. They must know they
are loved, they must know they're appreciated, they must know that your future and theirs are
intertwined together, they must feel validated about who they are, even with their mistakes and
shortcomings. Be careful, parents, don't be so harsh that your children start thinking I wish I was
never born, you have definitely gone too overboard if they start thinking this way. So use your
language with wisdom and understand the next generation is not me and you we grew up in a different
		

			time and place you will have to change because it's not their fault. They're being born at a
different time in place. Frankly, it's our responsibility. We were the ones who came most of us from
another land, we were the ones who chose to come here we were the ones so you cannot blame them for
absorbing the values and the concepts that we find around ourselves. So the compassion has to begin
with you. And in the end of the day, you're the adult, not them. So please forgive my harshness, you
need to step up to the plate and you need to act with the maturity and the love and the wisdom that
only you can have. What do you expect a 15 year old a 17 year old they're still children trapped in
		

			the bodies of an adult. What do you expect them to say? Except be a little bit harsh, mean nasty,
they're throwing tantrums. It doesn't justify you going the other way. You're the adult. Please
brothers and sisters act like that. And I'm sorry to be blunt here. But if you listen to their
stories, if you listen to what their own parents say about them, if you listen and you interact with
somebody who's flirting with suicide, your own heart changes and you start thinking through
different things. Brothers and sisters, make dua to Allah show love to your children have your
