Just to finish on this point, it's the first time I think I saw Brother Imran.
00:00:06.240
And one thing I learned and loved from him was that whenever he would see his mum or dad,
00:00:11.120
he would go straight and kiss them on the head.
00:00:13.260
Thank you so much. Thank you, guys. Thank you for waiting for me here.
00:00:16.460
I know my father is going to smash me when I go home because I know he's going to smash me.
00:00:22.080
Because with atheism and agnosticism and these types of things which take off,
00:00:26.040
and obviously Connor is a product of this secular liberal program,
00:00:32.560
you lose all these morals, you lose all these values, you lose all this sacredness for parents.
00:00:56.040
Moschino and Versace, no laces in Arachis, new millennium.
00:01:01.060
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:01:11.080
And obviously everybody knows about the death of Khabib's father.
00:01:16.580
And we thought we'll share some interesting, we're going to watch some videos
00:01:23.620
and maybe watch a video where when Khabib became the champion in the UFC,
00:01:33.820
And then we're going to talk about, we always talk about the rights of the mothers.
00:01:38.600
But the fathers and how one should be with their father is very important.
00:01:59.200
No, this is the second reaction with Saboor, because we've done one yesterday.
00:02:03.320
So, it's interesting to have Saboor here doing a reaction video with us.
00:02:06.680
So, okay, we're going to watch this video with Khabib and his father.
00:02:26.240
He was the largest woman, and their entire army
00:02:54.240
What's your first reaction when you see father and son wrestling?
00:03:13.200
Khabib's putting in enough effort to just make it look like he's putting in effort.
00:03:18.140
And clearly you can see, you know, his father's age.
00:03:30.940
I hope I'm not surprised, but I don't think Khabib would maybe, you know, put his dad...
00:03:35.720
Because in their culture, or should I say, you know, maybe Islamically, it's rude.
00:03:41.340
You know, for you to just click with that and stand with that on the floor.
00:03:47.180
He's putting enough effort in for the move, but he's not really, you know...
00:03:53.780
I know my father is going to smash me when I go home because...
00:04:04.980
And Alhamdulillah, undefeated, undefeated UFC lightweight champion.
00:04:09.460
So, look, in a nutshell, like, obviously we know his father passed away, and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have mercy on him.
00:04:17.720
There's so many lessons to be learned in Khabib's...
00:04:21.920
I wouldn't say his career, because we know his career is not really permissible in Islam, you know, and the whole discussion about it.
00:04:29.520
But as an adab, as etiquette, as one, how the fatherly son relationship...
00:04:36.800
I think it was a good role model for them to know.
00:04:41.920
And this is something that we lack in our generation, you know.
00:04:45.120
Speak to elders, and the elders will say how the respect has been lost towards them.
00:04:51.700
And to me, personally, when we were studying Al-Adab al-Mufrat by Imam Bukhari, it's quite interesting, you know, because he compiled all the hadiths and narrations of the Prophet ﷺ and the adab and etiquette of everything,
00:05:06.300
from your neighbours, to your mum, to your children, to your father, to your mother, to your aunties, to your granddad.
00:05:13.600
And when I was reading that book, interestingly, it would talk a lot about, for example, when you're with your father.
00:05:22.260
When you're sitting down, you wait for your dad to, if I'm not mistaken, your dad to sit down first.
00:05:29.920
In some certain cultures, some even say that you don't even look your dad in the eyes.
00:05:40.820
Mothers and fathers, sometimes it can be difficult to live with.
00:05:47.360
There are times where, like, this can be a variety of reasons.
00:05:50.340
For, like, people that their family is not Muslim, it could be hard.
00:05:55.400
But for those whose families are Muslims, it could be, you know, just fathers are fathers.
00:06:08.040
Sometimes, like, sometimes moms are harsher than the fathers, yeah?
00:06:10.740
But generally, I think they were a fine example.
00:06:15.180
And they left a fine legacy that how their relationship should be.
00:06:19.700
Because even when looking at Khabib and he's like, oh, when I go home, my dad's going to smash me, yeah?
00:06:25.800
And that shows that the respect that he has is because the respect that he has for his family members.
00:06:34.020
And, you know, with teenagers, you get this thing from a teenage and then it carries on, which is kind of like, you can't tell me what to do.
00:06:53.380
He's happy saying, my dad's going to beat me, right?
00:06:55.920
So, it just shows you the level of respect and care.
00:07:00.160
And, you know, even if you look at earlier on the insults that were given by Connor to Khabib in terms of his father.
00:07:11.040
You see, in some cultures, that respect for the father is lost to the point that you can't even cuss someone's father because it's not going to work.
00:07:19.520
It's going to be like, your father's like this.
00:07:22.560
Like, people aren't even going to bother defending their fathers in some cultures, right?
00:07:26.380
So, with, you know, and I think this is so powerful about Islam and culture that Islam, wherever it goes, it inculcates this type of strong cultural values which just become fused into society, yeah?
00:07:44.260
Your mother says, do this, and you do that, right?
00:07:48.560
Like, he's even worried about, okay, I did this thing after the ring.
00:07:53.300
I did these actions and my dad's going to beat me.
00:08:07.840
But you won't really find, like, you know, oh, Connor's like, oh, my God, my dad's going to beat me.
00:08:17.220
Sadly, these things did exist in the West when Christianity was stronger here.
00:08:22.080
Because Christianity, of course, is way better than being an atheist, right?
00:08:26.800
I mean, of course, we're not Christians and we disagree with them theologically.
00:08:32.520
Because with atheism and agnosticism and these types of things which take off and obviously Connor's a product of this, you know, secular liberal program, you lose all these morals.
00:08:46.000
You lose all this sacredness for parents, you know.
00:08:48.760
Before you were saying, Ali, in the car that, you know, I think in the Kurdish culture that you would kiss the hand and then you put the hand on the forehead for your elders.
00:08:59.560
And, you know, imagine, like, trying to do that, I don't know, in public.
00:09:06.380
People would be like, oh, you know, that looks odd.
00:09:10.320
But these were traditional values that held societies together.
00:09:15.400
And we're losing them because we're losing ourself.
00:09:17.680
And that's very evident, brothers and sisters, for you guys to understand.
00:09:21.860
A lot of you guys watching this, you might have issues with your mum or your father in the context of, yes, you don't agree, etc.
00:09:37.640
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, subhanAllah, that after worshipping me, do not be good to your parents.
00:09:46.760
Brothers and sisters, yeah, we believe, disbelieve.
00:09:54.280
But be gentle and kind with them, brothers and sisters.
00:09:56.840
So, if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying that shirk is something I will never forgive.
00:10:03.380
Yeah, and by the way, I'm going to send people to the hellfire.
00:10:06.260
Those who acknowledged and knew it was the truth and committed shirk.
00:10:10.040
If your parents are doing that, be merciful to them.
00:10:21.480
You give the rights to your parents because they bore you.
00:10:25.420
And the contrast is amazing because the parents are doing what?
00:10:32.500
Allah is saying, in the context of, I will, that's between me and my slave.
00:10:37.100
But you, but what they're doing to me, you don't do it to them.
00:10:41.200
And this is what I'm saying, brothers and sisters.
00:10:42.820
Sometimes, yes, you want to pull your hair out.
00:10:44.780
But please, please, wallahi, it's a form of ibadah and worship.
00:10:48.820
That if your mom is doing something to enrage you and this, that, that you try your best to.
00:11:10.860
And sadly, a lot of youngsters do not value and appreciate that.
00:11:16.140
And you're, subhanallah, behind closed doors or outside doing all kinds of stuff, bro.
00:11:22.420
If you want jannah, I'll be very honest with you, bro.
00:11:29.060
He was crying so much when his mother or father passed away.
00:11:32.460
And obviously, he said the reason why, because my doors to jannahs have gone.
00:11:38.600
And so, brother and sisters, it's a fine example that Khabib and his father's left.
00:11:42.380
To us, how a father and son or father and daughter or mother and daughter or mother and son.
00:11:50.300
The relationship one should have with their parents should be utmost respect and mercy.
00:12:00.060
I don't think I've seen examples of people disobeying their parents.
00:12:08.640
We're not talking about here, parents that are dhalims.
00:12:15.360
That, you should still respectfully move out of the house, find other solutions, etc.
00:12:20.180
But, those who oppress their family members, yeah.
00:12:24.820
Their parents, specifically, brothers and sisters.
00:12:30.680
And, like I said before, brothers and sisters, inshallah.
00:12:33.240
If you're watching this, wallahi, appreciate your father.
00:12:37.480
He would give the whole world to spend more years with them, brothers and sisters.
00:12:43.280
So, if we have fathers, acknowledge that, inshallah, brothers and sisters.
00:12:50.180
Is there anything else you want to say, Subhan?
00:12:55.280
Because I've lost my father many, many years ago.
00:12:59.320
And, you know, there's something very deep and profound in the Quran.
00:13:14.460
Because the parents, at the end of the day, they are the ones who've taken sacrifices,
00:13:22.200
which you only really appreciate once you're a parent.
00:13:27.680
And only when you, you know, when you go through those struggles, like, you know, at the moment, there's a recession.
00:13:37.480
And, you know, you're just going to be like working, working, working.
00:13:40.560
Imagine the fact that our parents sheltered us from all of these problems and they took care of us.
00:13:46.280
So, you know, whoever's watching, just, you know, and inshallah, we want the reward for this as well.
00:13:51.200
Do good to your parents because you don't know how long they're going to be about.
00:13:56.760
I will say right now, if you have the means, go to your mom or your dad and, inshallah, kiss them in the forehead, inshallah.
00:14:02.260
And that should be a form of respect, which I personally, I'll be honest with you, actually, just to finish on this point.
00:14:09.960
It's the first time, I think, I saw Brother Imran, which we were talking about today.
00:14:16.040
And one thing I learned and loved from him was that whenever he will see his mom or dad, he will go straight and kiss them on the head.
00:14:22.800
And he just remembered, he just reminded me, you know, we have our differences, but he's still a brother that I love and I care for.
00:14:29.940
But that's something that I remembered that I would do with my mom now.
00:14:33.960
My mom or my dad, even my dad at times when he's peak, you know, smashing me, yeah.
00:14:40.520
And I think that's a beautiful thing because it's a matter of honor coming and kissing the head.
00:14:44.480
Brothers and sisters, may Allah bless you guys, inshallah.
00:14:46.100
Until next time, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
