[SPEAKER_01]: He's saying, See how I've given you your parents, and see how I have created this natural Rahma inside of them, how they see you, as the most important thing for them in the whole world, in the entire universe.
[SPEAKER_01]: They would rather them die than you.
[SPEAKER_01]: See this which I created in your parents.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is only a tiny spec of the portion of my mercy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is my attribute of mercy, and I've given a little bit of it to your parents, just to give you a small example of who I am, who I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when your mother or father, they keep away something from you, only in order to teach you to become stronger in life, they are nurturing you.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you prevent your son or your daughter who is two years old, from opening the fridge, are you preventing them from eating or drinking?
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're preventing them from eating things that are bad for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: From grabbing the jar and breaks on their foot and then the glass will go into their feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: or they might accidentally close the fridge on their finger, or they might grab the vinegar and drink and thinking it's water, or they might open the cupboard under the sink and drink, the detergent thinking it's water or food and then poison themselves, you are nurturing them, you're preventing them from certain things because you have rahmat towards your children.
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't everything that when Allah prevents us from something, it doesn't mean that Allah's plantan is punishing us.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is no true.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arassalallahu alaihi wa sallam, after one of the battles that happened, there was some captives and the Muslims had to look after them.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was this mother who was running from child to child, from baby to baby, from son to son, from daughter to trying to find her own child.
[SPEAKER_01]: And each of them she was so hysterical about finding her child, when she every time she saw a child, she would grab that baby, take a corner and try to breastfeed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: to see which one is her baby, because if it takes its milk, the mother's milk, she would assume that this is her baby.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she would take a child to trial, from child to child until finally she found her child.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she have to her child so intensely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arraso Saasana was watching this with amusement, and not with amusement, with awe, with compassion, with emotion, and he said to his companions,
[SPEAKER_01]: that whoever crossed your mind, that this mother would ever grab her child and throw it in the fire and burn it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, Hanshallah, they said, never, it would never cross our mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he said, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, fa imnallah ala arhamaviya ibadihi minhadil, ummibiyu ala diha.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah is more merciful to his servants.
[SPEAKER_01]: then this mother is to her own child.
[SPEAKER_01]: There is nothing greater than the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing can be compared to it, except in maybe a spec of a spec.
[SPEAKER_01]: within the mother.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is why Allah's ﷻ sent out a call to Himself, a Rahman, a Rahim.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, a stock to men is mere Rahman, a Rahim.
[SPEAKER_01]: I took from my name a Rahman, the definition of the womb inside the mother called a Rahim.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you not see that the womb is very similar to a Rahman of Rahim?
[SPEAKER_01]: and it only exists inside the mother.
[SPEAKER_01]: So some scholars say the woman is more spiritual than the man on the inside and the man on the outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: Each one has qualities which the other doesn't have and Allah's Pantan has favoured each one in a certain way.
[SPEAKER_01]: We need each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Allah called the Rahim from his name and placed it inside the mother and connected the families together with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: and he called a fasting, a type of taco which is associated with a rachman, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the most merciful.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he is nurturing us in this fasting and Allah will refuse to put anyone in the fire, just like that, unless they truly, truly, truly deserve it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And among this nurturing within his rachman is that he prescribes upon the fasting.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a lot of us we think what is this fasting, abstaining from food and drink and abstaining from intimacy with the wives and the husbands, you know, because this brings husband and wife together and brings family together and abstaining from food and drink which our bodies need.
[SPEAKER_01]: How could this be a form of rachma, a form of mercy?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know what?
[SPEAKER_01]: The understanding of mercy now reminds in the English language.
[SPEAKER_01]: is really wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't agree with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: This word mercy, when you say mercy, it's like, you know, like thinking of a tyrant ruler, whatever just definitions, thinking of a tyrant ruler, and then one day he decides to lay off the oppression a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: They say, oh, he had mercy.
[SPEAKER_01]: He had mercy on his people.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not the form of Rahman, Allah is talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and let's say, you know, you're beating up someone and you have power over them and you keep beating them up and then you decide you look at them and you think, oh, look, you know, they've got children.
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't kill them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll have mercy upon them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll keep, I'll give them some life because they've got some family.
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got children.
[SPEAKER_01]: They say this is mercy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Never.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah's Pantal is not merciful like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: His Rahma is much, much deeper than that.
[SPEAKER_01]: The definition of his Rahma is much deeper than that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arrasu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us this Hadith is insaham Muslim.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says that Allah sallallahu wa tahana he created Rahma between us and he took it from himself and he gave us one portion of it and left and left.
[SPEAKER_01]: 99 of its portion.
[SPEAKER_01]: to be used in the year after, and he left a small portion of it for us to use in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: And because of this rachma which he placed on earth, this is the reason why you find even the animal mother, the animal mother dear.
[SPEAKER_01]: will be so compassionate while its baby comes to drink from its milk.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so careful that it doesn't step on its child.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who taught this dear mother, this dear, this animal, to be so compassionate to its baby, to give it from its body, its milk, and is so careful not to tread on it with its legs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who gave it this mercy?
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah SWT.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because of this mercy, even the enemy of Allah SWT brings from the water of this earth, is given his comfort or comfort.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the mercy of Allah SWT.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arrahna, this nurturing thing that when you remember your parents, you remember that Allah has greater mercy than your own parents.
[SPEAKER_01]: this nurturing nature of the mother and the father, that they would rather the dust particle enter into their eye than into yours, that if they were to wake up in the middle of the night and find that you are ill or sick, they would wish that this sickness was in then instead of you, this Rahma which makes the mother.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is mother, carrying you in her womb for nine months, and then after that recipe Jew, and Allah, at where there is so much pain in doing so, and the mother understands.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after that nurturing you and going through all the agony and possibly getting diabetes and discs in her back, while the father runs around, or trying to provide you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Their whole youth is spent on you and the whole world stops when you are born.
[SPEAKER_01]: And for this reason, the mother is called an um, which means she becomes the center of attention.
[SPEAKER_01]: And for this reason, we are called an umma, taken from the name um, because we might as well be of one mother.
[SPEAKER_01]: All of this is due to the rachma of Allah safana huwata'ala.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you see your mother and father being like that towards you, Allah tells us a lot about our parents, you know why?
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah is telling us and direct the about himself.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's saying, see how I've given you your parents and see how I have created this natural rachma inside of them, how they see you as the most important thing for them in the whole world, in the entire universe.
[SPEAKER_01]: They would rather them die than you.
[SPEAKER_01]: See this which I created in your parents.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is only a tiny speck of the portion of my mercy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is my attribute of mercy, and I've given a little bit of it to your parents, just to give you a small example of who I am, who I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when your mother or father, they keep away something from you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Only in order to teach you to become stronger in life, they are nurturing you.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you prevent your son or your daughter who is two years old, from opening the fridge, are you preventing them from eating or drinking?
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you're no.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're preventing them from eating things that are bad for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: From grabbing the jar and breaks on their foot and then the glass will go into their feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or they might accidentally close the fridge on their finger, or they might grab the vinegar and drink it thinking it's water.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or they might open the cupboard under the sink and drink the detergent thinking it's water or food and then poison themselves.
[SPEAKER_01]: You are nurturing them.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're preventing them from certain things because you have rahmatu towards your children.
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't everything that when Allah prevents us from something, it doesn't mean that Allah is punishing us.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is nurturing you because we don't know any better.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know the angels when they bowed down to Adam alaihi salam, Allah's Pana Huatahala, He said to them in Nihaleq on Bashar and Muntini, I am going to create a type of creature made out of soil, made out of clay.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they said, Yaron,
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to create on earth?
[SPEAKER_01]: May you pseudo-fihar, yes, Fikud-Dima, one of us should be happy to be able to do so.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to create on earth?
[SPEAKER_01]: Those who shed blood and corruption on earth.
[SPEAKER_01]: While we the angels, we constantly glorify you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we glorify you, we honor you.
[SPEAKER_01]: They cannot encompass or come even close to a speak of the knowledge of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
[SPEAKER_01]: How can we then say that we know everything we know it's best for us?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, when we were born the last time I remember when I was born I needed to be taught how to put a dummy in my mouth I needed to be taught how I meant to crawl I needed to be taught how I meant to, you know, hold the cup in my hand and how I meant to hold the spoon in my hand How I meant to eat and dress I didn't know everything so I wonder Should we look at fasting as something Making a judgment upon it as though it is type of punishment No
[SPEAKER_01]: The first thing we must think of is, this is a type of nurturing from Allah Subhanahu Wa'Tahala because He is a Rahman.
