			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Hello.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Oh,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			oh
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			oh
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:49
			hamdulillah 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
as shady that we live and we comply by we asked him to forgive our sins on the last day and our good
deeds to amplify Allah subhana wa tada says in the Quran yeah Johan De Soto for a buck como la de
harder hakomi nuptse wahida wahala caminhada Baba thermen humare Jahren Kathy Ronnie's What up law
hi lady Tessa Luna v well or ham in the law. Her current ID Kumar Atiba. This is the first verse of
Surah Nisa, all mankind Fira law and be conscious of a law who created all of you from one being.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			And from that being he created the spouse, Adam and Hawa. And from the two of them, he created
multitudes of men and women.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			Be conscious of a law, in whose names you ask people to do things. And also be conscious of your
families, what law what will
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:57
			be conscious of a law 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 at the
Quran, the Quran is full of stories about families, Zachary, yeah. And Ibrahim, they don't have
children. They're making their art to Allah for children.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:50
			Use of Allah His setup has problems with his brothers and family. yaku has children that are
involved in family issues. We have in Surah telko, half the the orphan that does not have parents,
and we have the parents who lose their child. We have in Surah lokman verses that talk about the
advice that fathers should give to their sons, so many stories about families in the Koran, 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
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:42
			of our children. Yeah, havalim and Yasha enough and we are hubballi, Manisha was the core, I will
use the vigil homido Quran and what ina YG lumen Yasha Pema 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 azzawajal 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 a lot 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, sir,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:34
			who was not from Makkah, he was from a faraway town. He heard that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam is preaching something new. So he came to Makkah, and he said, What are you? The Prophet
sallallahu Sallam said, I am a prophet and an abbey. He said, What is an epi he's never heard of an
IB. He said Allah has sent to me. So he said with what the prophet system said two things. This is
early Islam, the first two three years of the Dharma, he says two things. Number one, that a law be
worshiped. And number two, one tasi rule or ham families be united families be upon good and
compassion in early Islam. The whole message of Islam was summarized in two commandments, worship a
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:32
			law and be good to your family. That was Islam in Abyssinia, when the king of the abyssinians Naja
she, when he called Jaffa 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 America that was no other
commandments. There was no sila obligated, no zeca no fasting of Ramadan. What was the obligation,
worship a law and be good to your families. In this COVID crisis. Every one of us has seen the
		
00:09:32 --> 00:10:00
			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
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:51
			sensitivity is 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 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 alayhi wa sallam said, that Allah has said, so this has he is good
See, and it is much tougher Kylie. It is the most blessing type of Hadith, inauthenticity and in
transmission in authenticity, Bukhari and Muslim in transmission, it goes back to Allah What does
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:56
			the Hadith say? Allah says, honor Rama. 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 following. I am a rough man. And from my name, I created family
and the meaning of family is to be merciful or raw him from raw or raw him 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 around him is from Rahman, from my name. Allah
says, I created the concept of family, in the other Hadith in Sahih, Muslim and also in Bahati, that
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:47
			Allah azza wa jal created the creation when he created everything. And then the prophet SAW Selim
says r Rahim stood up the family r Rahim stood up and it hung to the throne of a law, r Rahim. The
family said, Oh Allah, what is my macom? In your eyes? What is my status? What is my status? Oh
Allah, I want to know what is my ranking? The family is asking, what rank do I have? Oh Allah. And
the law 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 now will remain connected with the one who connects you. The
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:10
			meaning is very clear. The one who preserves family preserves his relationship with a law, the one
who is kind to family, compassionate to family, Allah will be kind to him. And the one who breaks
family destroys family, a low will destroy him. In the famous Hadith in Sahih, Bahati our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:36
			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, 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.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:14:35
			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 Isaiah, I created the family. Allah said from my name or right man, I created the
family. The default when it comes to family matters, His mercy and tenderness and compassion. And
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:55
			dear fathers and dear mothers, much can be said time is limited. We live in a time of great evil,
great fit in a 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.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			Realize dear parents when you and I were teenagers
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:46
			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 safe 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 fell 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 did. Just like you could not live the same life
		
00:15:46 --> 00:16:30
			of your parents. 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 are 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 this the world we live in.
Most important thing is you act in what how you want your child to be exemplify what it means to be
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:18
			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 of a time when you will not be there and your son and
		
00:17:18 --> 00:18:05
			daughter will remember I did this mistake. And that's how my 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 will lie. There's no easy answer. And I'm 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 drama 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 family is about. Family is about love and
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:46
			compassion and mercy make your households households of love and compassion exemplify Rama
exemplified the name of a man in your dealings with your family and perhaps in short allow you to
either the time will come when you are not here and your son or daughter will take your place and
will remember the Rama that you had would remember your love your lifestyle and that is much more
important than one or two conversations that you have. May Allah xojo 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 within through the Quran. And may He make us of
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:53
			those who is verses they understand I asked all those forgiveness us will ask him for he is the food
and the ramen
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:57
			Alhamdulillah Hilda hadn't had a summit Allah de la mirada, mula, mula Hakuna had, 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 doras for the family. The Quran teaches
us that we should make dua for our parents and our children. We'll call Rob Durham, Houma, camara
Bayani Samira, we make dua for our parents are gonna have lnm and as why'd you know what Gloria Tina
kurata island which Island what's up Dana mama awfully Holly for you the reality. We make dua for
our parents, for our spouses for our children, dear Muslim. How can you raise your hands to Allah
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			and ask for money and ask for
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:45
			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 gender for
parents that you can ask forgiveness for. For children that will be like you are better than you any
man and taqwa ask Allah for the guidance of your children. ask Allah that your children pray your
		
00:20:45 --> 00:21:31
			children fast your children follow eemaan that the love of the Quran is in their hearts. The love of
Islam is in their hearts constantly make dua to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and never ever forget,
as our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the duty of the parent is always accepted for the
child so make do and make lots of for your children along in NIDA and for mineral allama let me know
