Each and every one of us has a responsibility that we need to fulfill, and each and every one of us will be questioned about that. Integrity is paramount for an effective leadership, for leadership that can have a permeating, rippling effect on others, because leadership ultimately is influence, right? We influence people. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the leader. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh everyone. Welcome back to Qur\'an 30 for 30. Alhamdulillah, as we are officially now in the last 10 nights, may Allah subhanahu wa ta\'ala accept from us all.

We\'re having this competition like who knows who first. No, no, I mean with him, Shaykh we were in Medina together. There we go again. We were in Australia together. Sahi, sahi. Yeah, that\'s right. I mean, but we can also do, you know, quality over quantity, right? Shaykh, we didn\'t want to die with you too. Shaykh, we saw koalas and penguins together. We did. We did. And we just saw the haram. I mean, it was. I mean, exactly. I mean, we only studied with Shaykh Mohammed Muqtada Shaykh Navaid and some of the other ones. Like, come on. Koalas, penguins. Penguins that just rise out of nowhere, man. It\'s literally out of nowhere. Penguin island. That\'s a great point. La ilaha illallah. La ilaha illallah. 2011, the only time I\'ve been to Australia so far. Really? Yeah. Was that trip, Alhamdulillah Rameen, it was a beautiful trip. I think it\'d be great to bring your family insha\'Allah. Insha\'Allah. That\'s the plan, man. I think it\'s important for them to get their seasons right. Exactly. Exactly. I make the mistake every summer thinking, let\'s go to Australia. And it\'s like, no, now\'s not a good time. It\'s not summer there right now. So my family doesn\'t like cold weather. So we\'re still trying to figure that out. But Australia, we\'re coming to you. Insha\'Allah. Soon. Shaykh Navaid, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen, is our director of community development in Canada, which is a real country. It is. It is a real country, Shaykh. Alhamdulillah. Bordering the United States of America, just above. People ask me, where\'s Calgary? I tell them it\'s right above Montana. And then they ask me, where\'s Montana? And then I get stuck. I\'m like, if you don\'t know your own country, I can\'t help you. Yeah, it\'s a real country. Alhamdulillah. We have a lot of bands here in Yaqeen. Between the US.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This verse in the Qur\'an is where the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was told by Allah to tell his wives this particular situation. And this verse is so beautiful to me because it reminds us as husbands, particularly, and as leaders of families, and as leaders of whatever situation that we may be in, that we have a responsibility of guardianship, is that there will be times to where you have to stand firm on your position, as long as it is a position that coincides with Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, and his Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And making that decision will be hard at times. Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, says, after I\'ve been in that situation, Ya ayyuhal nabiyyu qul li azwajika in kuntunna turidna al-hayata al-dunya wa zinataha fata\'alayna umatti\'kunna wa usarrihkunna sarahan jameela. Divorce, I know when I just said this word, everyone\'s like, what? It\'s not always a bad thing. It may be what\'s needed.
Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, told the Prophet, listen closely. He said, oh Prophet, tell your wives, if you seek the world and its embellishments, then come, I will make some provisions for you and release you in an honorable way. Allahu akbar. Release you in an honorable way. Husbands, please listen. Release you in an honorable way. The Prophet, sallallahu, and wives, listen. The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was told by Allah, tell your wives, if you seek this world and you want all its embellishments and the beauty at the sacrifice of our religion together, individually and together, then he says, ta\'alayna, I will make for you some provisions and I\'ll release you in an honorable way. If that is our priority, the dunya, this world, at the cost, this is important, at the cost of the akhira, this is where Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, was ordered by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to tell them, look, we can separate in an honorable way. Not in arguing, not in belittling each other, not in calling each other names and leaving a bad effect on our children. Where\'s the effective leadership in that? Where\'s the proper exemplification of following the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? And we see, as you mentioned, individually and collectively, collective is made up of individuals, right? So when we have that leadership effect, this is very important. Then Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, tells him after that to say, wa in kuntunna turidna Allaha wa rasulahu wa daara al-akhira, fa inna Allaha a\'adda lilmuhsinati minkunna ajran azeema. Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, tells him, but if you seek Allah and his messenger and the abode of the hereafter, then surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good. If you seek, in kuntunna turidna Allaha wa rasulahu, what does it mean to want Allah and his messenger? Meaning that you want to follow Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, and the message of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
You know, it\'s so beautiful, you know, when the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, mentioned, khairukum khairukum li ahli wa ana khairukum li ahli. You know, he said that the best of you are those who are best to their families, and I am the best to my family. I\'ll never forget Shaykh Muhammad Mokhtar. I remember he mentioned this. He said, this hadith is so beautiful in regards to marriage because no one will know you like your wife. Allahu akbar. I never forgot that. He said, no one will know you like your wife. And subhanallah, your mother will know you, but your wife may know you in a different light, in a different way. And that\'s why the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from the wisdom of what he said, that the best of you are those who are best to their family because they will know how to, quote unquote, push your buttons. And sometimes that button may be a red button. Each one of us have our red buttons, you know what I\'m saying? Of course. Where\'s yours, man? I don\'t think I\'ve ever pushed it. I don\'t think I\'ve ever pushed it. Ever pushed your red button, Shaykh? No, never pushed my red button. Never upset you before. My kids. No, no, no, I love my kids, masha\'Allah. But, you know, Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, is showing him, the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and showing all of us the importance of integrity because that leadership, you will be compromised. We see what is happening around the world. Leadership is compromise. And that compromise is founded and couched in what? Most importantly for the Muslim, it cannot be to compromise your faith and your religion. Doesn\'t matter who it was, where it was. That person cannot take you away and influence you to leave Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, as messenger. And that\'s why Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, told the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to say, if you seek Allah as messenger and the abode of the hereafter, then surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those who do good. So, following the leader, and as long as he is someone that is calling you to following Allah and his messenger, that is a good deed. That is good. And that is what\'s very, very important for us as human beings, as men, as fathers, as uncles, as mothers, as well, to be of those that make sure that our leadership is founded within Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala\'s message and the message of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. We ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, to forgive us for any of our shortcomings
and to make us of those that follow on patience and certain teams. So, I think the way our ayahs complement one another is amazing. And what I see from it is, in the verse that I chose, the concept of patience on the dunya, right? Don\'t get too attached to it. And in your verses about, if you want the dunya, khalas, we gotta part ways. But if you want the akhirah, you\'re gonna have a huge reward. And that ties into the certainty component of the ayah that I was talking about. And subhanAllah, it\'s as if Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala, is advising us over here that you guys are gonna fight and dispute over the dunya and you\'re not gonna come to a resolution. But if you can refocus that to, you know what, let\'s both work together towards the akhirah, then you\'ll have a great reward from Allah, subhanahu wa ta\'ala. And this ties in beautifully to the du\'a in Surah Al-Furqan. Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a\'yun waj\'alna lil-muttaqina imama Right, this concept of righteous leadership, it starts at home first before it goes anywhere else. And then the second thing that I was reminded of, and I don\'t know where it came from, but you were talking about the wisdom of the elders. I remembered Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah, rahimahullah, with regards to my verse, he says, bis-sabri wal-yaqini tunalu al-imamatu fid-dini That with patience and certainty, that is how one attains leadership in the ummah. Jazakum Allah khayran for your reflection. Two things that came to my mind. The first one is, like when you talk about the word divorce, may Allah protect our marriages, because it\'s certainly not a desirable situation. And that\'s the thing, like, it\'s one of those things, it\'s so hard, because you want to say, look, it has to happen sometimes, and there\'s a way that it should happen when it has to happen. That most people just don\'t do it that way, right? But at the same time, like, no, when you get married, you want to have healthy marriages. It\'s part of the future of our community, strengthening those marriages, strengthening those families, but in the nighttime, may Allah protect our marriages, protect our families, Allahumma ameen. Now, with that being said, and I hope I say this the right way, insha\'Allah, because it\'s such a sensitive topic.
The, I\'m going to destroy you after a divorce, also comes from a lack of tawakkul, comes from a lack of belief in the plan of Allah subhanahu wa ta\'ala, and the promise of Allah subhanahu wa ta\'ala, because there is this sentiment where like, all right, now that we\'re divorced, we\'re done, and my life is going to be terrible, so I\'m going to ruin your life, and I\'m going to do everything I possibly can to destroy you, and at the expense of what? My own akhira, my own hereafter, like, you commit dhulm, you know, it\'s going to show up, that oppression is going to show up on the day of judgment, and man, like, the lack of taqwa, because it\'s taqwa at the end of the day, right? We talked about this idea of taqwa, God consciousness, the lack of taqwa people have in divorce. A\'udhu billah, may Allah protect us. We seek refuge in Allah, because none of us are immune to this, it can happen to anyone, but it\'s like, I\'m going to get as much from you as possible, I don\'t care what the sharia is, I\'m going to hurt you as much as possible, I don\'t care what the limit of the sharia is, I\'ll use the kids as a pawn, right, to hurt you, like, subhanAllah, the most sacred amanah you have is your children, I\'ll use the kids to hurt you, right? And it happens both ways. This is really not gendered, I mean, you can assign proportions and percentages, all three of us are imams in communities too, right? Like, let\'s be real, there is dhulm on both sides here. It shows up, and at the end of the day, the common denominator is a lack of taqwa, and a lack of taqwa is directly tied to a lack of belief in the plan and promise of Allah, a lack of certainty, because if you fear Allah, you believe in the promise and plan of Allah, you know that Allah is going to take care of you. Allah is going to take care of you, and so if you\'re going through a difficulty, you know, and sometimes that difficulty, in fact, the hardest difficulties in our lives are the ones that are directly tied to the cruelty of man, qahr al-rijal, right? We seek refuge in Allah from the cruelty of man. You\'re not going to resort to dhulm to try to get your rights. Resort to oppression to try to get
what you think is your fair share. So, don\'t ruin your afterlife trying to ruin somebody else\'s life. Like, that\'s a lesson, like a life lesson, subhanAllah, that I think we all have to take a step back, always, like whether it\'s something as significant as this or something else, like don\'t ruin your own afterlife trying to ruin someone else\'s life. It\'s not worth it. And that\'s where that belief, that yaqeen, the plan of Allah subhanahu wa ta\'ala is so crucial. Allah is going to take care of you. I forgot my second reflection. I mean, no, because it\'s not good when you see a family apart, man, and then you see the innocent child has nothing to do with it. I remember on the Iman Cave show, Dr. Usman Moukni, he was like, you have to make sure that you tell the child it\'s not your fault because a lot of times they believe it\'s their fault, sometimes. But what I want to mention is, it\'s very, very important for- And they hear more than you think they hear. Oh, man, oh, you\'ll find out till later, Shaykh. Yeah, you think you\'re talking like around them. You think you\'re talking like, oh, they\'re not going to understand. They are like, their ears are like this at that point. They\'re listening. They hear the passive aggressiveness. They hear- It\'s not just about the listening, it\'s actually observing. Like, why are mom and dad not showing affection to one another? SubhanAllah. They\'ll observe that, right? And this will have a huge impact on the way they grow up and the way they view intimacy and connection and stuff like that, right? This now becomes the norm, right? Husband and wife not showing affection to one another. It becomes a big challenge. The one thing I really want to say is, I think it\'s important, especially the guys, that we are willing to, I\'m going to say this and we can explain it, to sacrifice our friendship to make sure that we give advice, the right advice to the friends. Like, we see someone going wrong, we say, look, you being on the right path or you doing the right thing is more important than our friendship. Meaning that you may get mad at me because I have to call you out or tell you something, but I have to say it, bro. You have to say it. The reason I say it, because a lot of times we don\'t want to get involved.
It\'s like, I\'ve been it and I ain\'t in it. You know what I\'m saying? I don\'t want to get involved in that. And the brothers, like you said, it\'s non-gendered. It\'s very, very important that if we see something, we give advice, we give the nasihah, instead of saying, I\'m going to stay out of it. We at least have to say something because you never know how that advice can hit that person. You don\'t know how much they may value your opinion. Even if you\'re not the direct friend, you may be someone that, you know, you may seen something for a while and then you just ask them, how you doing? Give that advice. It\'s very, very important. 100%. And I think this is also where we need to redefine what friendships are. Like, friendships can\'t just be surface level. It\'s not just about being there for the good times. Even in the bad times, we need to be there for one another. So I think, you know, reassessing those relationships, that if you can\'t be there to advise me when I mess up, what type of friend are you? Right? Because when I\'m in it, I may not be seeing what I\'m doing because I\'m emotionally enraged and emotionally blinded. But for you from the outside, if you\'re seeing this, you have a responsibility to tell me, right? The believer is the mirror of the believer, right? We\'re supposed to be there for one another. And I really want to pick up on something beautiful that Shaykh Omar said. You know, this concept of certainty, like constantly being reminded that there is an Akhira that is awaiting us. Jannah and Jahannam, only two destinations. There\'s a day of judgment where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala will question us. And if we remind ourselves of this at the time of divorce, like how much can it drastically change the outcome? That means sacrifice something for the sake of Allah and be kind and merciful so that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala can give me something greater on the day of judgment. Like you have this sort of mindset. Make Tanazul, because you know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala will provide for you, right? So I think this point on certainty is very, very important in times of divorce. I\'ll end with this, insha\'Allah, because this is a whole topic. Maybe you can invite me and Shaykh Navaid to Iman Cave. This would be fun. Let\'s do it. I\'ve never been on a show. I\'m just like, I don\'t know. We\'ll make it happen. But now like, you know, we were talking about the mother of Musa, putting her child into the Nile.
Like think about also what\'s going through the mind of a person that\'s in the middle of a river, right? Kind of feeling alone, especially if someone kicked you into it or pushed you into it, right? And it\'s just like, that\'s also a point where you have to be like, I trust Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala. Amantu billah. Amantu billah. I trust Allah. I believe in Allah. I trust Allah. I believe in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala. Because that\'s when people drown. You know, that\'s when people say, you know what, I\'m done, right? You just cannot, you can\'t shut your door on the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala. And you can\'t shut the door of Allah\'s mercy to you. Like you just can\'t do this. You have to be able to take a step back and say, I\'m still breathing. That means I still have a chance to constantly use whatever situation I have to elevate my rank in the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala. And elevating my rank with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala inherently means not debasing myself with sin, especially sins that are tughyan, that are transgression and oppression against other people, because I feel like someone aggressed against me. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala again, protect us and may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala allow us to believe in the plan of Allah in regards to ourselves, in regards to our enemies, in regards to our families, in regards to our friends, and in regards to those who Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala are our family and friends that unfortunately can turn enemy at some point in our lives. May Allah Azza wa Jalla allow us to always put his plan, his promise ahead and abide by taqwa, piety, in all those interactions and those dealings. Allahumma ameen. Shaykh Navaid, we love you, man. We\'re so, it\'s great to have you. Great to have you. Such an enriching conversation. May Allah Azza wa Jalla reward you. Jazakum Allah khayran. Please keep us all in your du\'a. Keep all the families in your du\'a, insha\'Allah ta\'ala, in these last 10 nights. We make du\'a for you as well. Anyone that\'s watching, may Allah Azza wa Jalla rectify your marriages, rectify your family situations. For all those that are single and looking to get married, may Allah Azza wa Jalla find you righteous spouses. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta\'ala be with our Ummah all over the hurting part of our Ummah especially,
and allow our du\'as to be a means of relief for them wherever they are. Allahumma ameen. BarakAllahu feekum. Assalamu\'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
