In this podcast, I talk about the importance of being obedient to your parents and how important it is to have a good relationship with them. I also talk about why it is so important to be a good role model to our parents.

00:02:00.980And to be honest, I'm doing these videos lately because it's more easy than just putting the camera out and the audio and da da da. Simple short videos inshallah. And it does the job. You guys can hear my voice anyways.
00:02:41.280Strong is not the man who can wrestle another man down, but strong is the man who can control himself in a situation of anger.
00:02:48.340Now, one thing I love about Khabib is that his love for his deen, his akhlaq, his adab, his character towards his parents. And this is something that we're missing. How many of us can come and say that we are obedient to our parents?
00:03:01.900How many of us can say that? How many of us can say, you know what, that the fact that, you know, subhanAllah, if your mom or your dad is afraid to ask you something or they're asking you in a specific tone because they're afraid of your attitude, that is actually disobedience.
00:03:16.900It's disobedience. It's actually disobedience because you have caused them to fear asking you certain things. And that is something we should be ashamed of. And Khabib said in one of his videos, I'm not saying this is true or not, but he said my success is based on my obedience to my parents.
00:03:31.160And I believe that success can be in other things. Obviously, the whole MMA thing and punching and that's a different story.
00:03:37.580But now what I wanted to mention to you guys, brothers and sisters, was a hadith because you can see how Khabib is a world star, millions of followers, and he's done so much things for people, you know, those that we know and God knows the stuff that we don't know.
00:03:53.560Mashallah, he's somebody that is a role model in the context of his adab, his character, the way he carries himself, his obedience to his parents.
00:03:59.700And in this video, like we saw, his salah. In this hadith, it was narrated by Abu Huraira that the Prophet SAW said,
00:04:08.060The first thing among the deeds for which the people will be brought to account on the day of resurrection will be their salah, their prayer.
00:04:14.000Our Lord will say to his angels, although he knows best, look at my slave's prayer. Is it complete or lacking?
00:04:20.020If it is complete, it will be recorded as complete. But if it is lacking, he will say, look and see whether my slave did any voluntary prayers.
00:04:29.700If he had done voluntary prayers, he will say complete obligatory prayers of my slave from his voluntary prayers.
00:04:35.400Then the rest of his deeds will be examined in a similar manner.
00:04:39.380Now, brothers and sisters, how many of us, subhanallah, imagine living our lives five years, ten years.
00:04:47.180Yes, okay, look, we have our ups and downs sometimes.
00:04:49.860And we live our life years on end and not a single salah.
00:05:10.680When it comes to the gym, when it comes to stuff like that, you know when to eat, what to eat, how to look.
00:05:15.180Be it, you know, this is for the brothers, you know, maybe sisters that go to the gym, you know, what to eat, when to sleep, when to train, what body part to train.
00:05:24.900When it comes to, let's say maybe the sisters, you know, they know everything about, you know, be it like the fashion or clothing or the makeup or the dedication that you spend on it.
00:05:33.080And these things, when you die, they're going to leave you.
00:06:02.000They will reply, we were not of those who prayed, nor did we feed the poor.
00:06:07.500We used to indulge in falsehood along with others and deny the day of judgment until the inevitable came to us.
00:06:16.780So the pleas of intercessors will be of no benefit to them.
00:06:20.360So the idol worshippers, they were worshipping.
00:06:23.620Now, what is the matter with them that they are turning away from the reminder as if they were spooked zebras, fleeing from a lion?
00:06:31.980In fact, each one of them wishes to be given a personal letter from Allah to all to read.
00:06:35.940But in fact, they do not fear the hereafter.
00:06:39.140Now, brothers and sisters, when you're reading, you can say, hold on a second, okay, I don't pray in my salah, but you know, I do believe in the hereafter.
00:06:47.300I do, you know, do other stuff and righteous deeds.
00:06:50.680The question that needs to be asked is the following, brothers and sisters.
00:06:52.560How is it that these people, these pagans, these people who didn't, these mushriks, they didn't do salah because they didn't believe in the hereafter.
