			providing the right motives and
removing any obstacles. These are
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			three things that me and you can
strive for and have control over
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			when it comes to raising our
children.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			The problem is
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19
			the smallest circle we have
control over the small circle,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			which is the second circle, me and
you have no control over
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:32
			those outcomes the goal, you know,
having a righteous child, this is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			a goal me and you have no control
over.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			And so when we mix these two
things up, and we don't get the
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			desired goals, we beat up
ourselves we call it an r&b
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			language gelled with that, we beat
up ourselves we held ourselves
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			accountable for for the for the
end results. Even though if we
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			look at the sunnah of Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and in
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			the Quran, Allah Allah Allah has
addressed this issue with the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			prophets, Allah Who Salah Prophet
Muhammad Salim
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:14
			Allah has defined his role as a
parent, before his role as a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:20
			prophet. He said, You role Allah
subhanaw taala as the prophets you
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			roles are to deliver this message
of me
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			in alayka, in little Bella you
deliver that message that could
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:35
			end or that Bible you deliver that
message, you deliver that message,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			but you have no control over the
outcomes, the end results even the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			prophets have no control over
those results. So Allah subhanaw
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			taala spoke to Prophet no Hallo
salaam when Prophet Noah had that
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			also this the sense of burden on
his shoulder. He said to Allah Oh
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:59
			Allah 950 years in the TAO to call
me Leyland when a harder day or
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			night. I'm asking my people to
worship you and preaching to my
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			people. While I'm yet home die
Illa fissara. And and I don't get
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			the desired goals.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			And I kept preaching and kept
preaching, and they're putting
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			even their fingers in their ears.
They don't want to listen to me.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			So he said, What should I do?
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			And more importantly, even my own
son, Prophet Nora has speaking to
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			Allah, even my own son. He doesn't
want to listen to my message.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:39
			And Allah has defined the last
scene of you know, no Halleen
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			salaam son,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			Allah, you know, spoke about this
in very powerful words in the
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			Quran. Prophet knew he said to his
son, yeah buena Yeah, Erica mana.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:56
			Walter Kemal Catherine. When
that's it, that was the last
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			scene. They're gonna die. They're
gonna, you know, sink in the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			water. The people of Prophet
Muhammad Salam and Prophet Nuh
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			looked at his son, and he told
him, I'm gonna save you.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			I've been giving you this message
for so many years, and you're not
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			listening to my message. And now
it's your last opportunity. Come
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			with me. I'm gonna save you. Later
Kemal Catherine, don't be among
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			those who disbelieve in Allah
subhanho wa taala. And then
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			Prophet no Hassan said, Carla,
sir, we illegible in Yasukuni
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			middle math, which is going to
find a mountain that can save me
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			from this flood. Call Allah Our
single young man and Emery Lai
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:47
			Illa Mara, there is no way you can
be saved, unless you join my ship.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:54
			And then Prophet Noah has son, you
know, lost his life.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:00
			Prophet knew himself his own wife
didn't believe with Him. If we
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			look at the Prophet know his life,
950 years and there is no growth
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			in the ground, no results, because
us as human beings judge each
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			other based on results. What are
what are the results? I don't see
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			numbers, then, you know, this is
something that's completely your
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			own fault. But with Allah subhanaw
taala is different. Prophet Nuh
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:28
			has ranked in the highest highest
level of Jannah because he was so
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			tough and he went through it. He
went through that journey of
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			struggle. So Allah will count his
side his pursuit, his efforts. He
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			said in the Quran, was a lazily
insanely inland Messiah. The only
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			thing that will be counted in the
Day of Judgment is your pursuits,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52
			your journey, not the ultimate
results. One Messiah who suffer
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:58
			euro and my pursuit and you will
pursue will be presented to Allah
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			subhanaw taala on the day
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			If judgments, we need to
understand the difference between
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			the outcomes and delivering the
delivering and providing that can
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			be at the proper tarbiyah that can
help my son and your son to thrive
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:19
			in sha Allah Allah, this is very,
very sensitive difference. It's a
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			very tiny difference that we need
to understand.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			Subhan Allah is speaking about the
outcomes and the effort and the
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			pursuits when it comes to
tarbiyah. This is not only for
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:38
			parents, there are so many people
are struggling with this idea of
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			gels with that beating up
yourself, even in the personal
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46
			life, in the workplace, even in
the workplace. Sometimes I will
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			share with you something that I've
struggled with, you know, and it
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			was something sort of, you know,
something funny that happened to
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			me. When I first started my
career. It was it was Salah to
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			tarawih. The I'm leading salata,
we had Matthew, the courser in
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			Egypt. When I was in high school,
I was seeing I was a senior. And I
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			was asked to lead a tele, we're
Hannah in magic, because one of
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			the biggest massages, huge
community, and I was so nervous. I
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			was so nervous. I didn't know how
I'm going to navigate this. And
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			then I just I've done my part
memorized my you know, word, my
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			part that I'm gonna recite and I'm
comfortable with my memorization.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			And now it's time to actually
start, you know, the work the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			task.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			And before even, you know,
starting the task, it was solid to
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			sunnah. And then solid, Alicia,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:46
			you know, the very beginning. And
because I'm so nervous, I started
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:51
			reciting Salah to sunnah out loud
in the microphone. And people were
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			behind me, you know, getting so
confused what's going on here? And
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			navigated through it, I prayed a
lot sooner. And then I went back
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			to my chef and told him, I am not
going to lead salads anymore. I
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:08
			just feel like I'm a failure. I am
a failure. I can't I can't do this
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:14
			anymore. I pointed you know, that,
you know, I pointed the finger
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			towards myself and said, You know
what? I'm guilt. I feel this
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:22
			guilt. How can I you know, I
confuse so many people I'm not
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			even worth to becoming imam or are
there you're a scholar.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			And somehow, so many people get
the same feeling with the first
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			task, and then they just feel
like, okay, now, I just feel like
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			I can't do it anymore. I'm a
failure. And that stops you and me
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:48
			from growing and working on our
weaknesses. The second point, when
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			it comes to parenting, I'll go
back to parenting Subhanallah
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			it happened to me
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			when I first when I first
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:06
			learned about my child's diagnose,
you know, Doctor told me your
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:12
			child is diagnosed with autism.
And right away, same mistake, it's
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			recurring theme brothers and
sisters. It's the same mistake
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20
			over and over and over as parents
we make in a daily basis. I
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:26
			started thinking about what wrong
did I do that caused my daughter
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:32
			to you know, for to go through
this now journey of you know,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			disability What did I do wrong?
Maybe I give her you give her you
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			know, screen Meantime, screening
time or maybe you know, I didn't
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			invest too much in her character
development at the first year or
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			the second year. And then just
your mind is gonna fly towards
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			those you know, you know, dark
destinations where you feel that
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			Hollis, it's over. There is
nothing for you. As you know left.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			There is nothing for you as a
parent to do. You have failed as a
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			parent. You have failed as a
parent, and Subhanallah that will
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			distract you from thinking
positively about what you will
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			need to do in the future. Which
route you should take which
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			therapy you should seek.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			which resources you should look
at.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			It's an over and over recurring
theme. My dear brothers and sister
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:34
			I beg you to understand that you
as a parent is responsible for the
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:42
			site for providing this knowledge,
right knowledge, right motives and
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			removing any obstacles. Leave the
results in Allah subhanaw taala is
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			hands and don't even worry about
it. Akula Cody had our stuff for
