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
