So the son who grows up without respecting Allah, mocking everything sacred in truth, exalting those who oppose Allah for the sake of money or beauty or position or power...he grows up as a cheap, ungrateful fool, ready to be enslaved, not deterred by character or honor or religion.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Parents often wonder: what should we raise our children on? Advice: raise them to hold in contempt. Yes, to hold in contempt; for the title of the day among the devils of mankind is "removing the sanctity of Allah the Almighty and His commands and prohibitions from the hearts of people."
This is the summary of millions of clips, articles, activities, events, and laws that either challenge Allah the Almighty and His Shariah openly, or through euphemisms and circumlocutions, claiming that they love Allah but rebel against extremism and backwardness, and bring enlightenment and renewal.
The shield that these people hide behind in their war is "respecting the other," so no matter what this other utters of disbelief, heresy, and insult to religion, you must respect him and respect his opinion and freedom of expression, otherwise, the canned accusations are ready.
Our speech here is about those who intentionally remove the awe of religion and the sanctity of Allah from people's hearts, considering them as nothing; neither they, nor their opinions, nor their positions, nor their titles, nor their agreements. They are contemptible to Allah, so they must be contemptible to the believers in Allah.
Allah the Almighty said: {Indeed, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are among the most humbled.} They are humbled before Allah, so they must be humbled and submissive in your being, O believer in Allah. Yes, we emphasize that this is the greatest value you instill in yourself and in the hearts of your children, for it is a companion to the glorification of Allah the Almighty that never departs from you; so you cannot glorify Allah and respect these people at the same time.
They know what they are doing; they are demolishing the fortresses of glorifying Allah in people's hearts, so it becomes settled in the minds of some that reality embodies the truth, and that these people are truly great in their essence, while what they have belittled is truly insignificant.
Beware, my brothers, that this becomes settled in the hearts of your children, but indeed, those who oppose Allah are truly contemptible, trivial, humbled, and submissive. Teach them saying: "O my son, you may fear the wrath of criminals, and you may not be able in some situations to deny evil by hand or tongue and be excused, but your fear of something or someone does not mean that you respect or glorify them in your heart, just as you do not respect or glorify a highwayman who points a weapon at you."
This is the greatest thing you instill in the hearts of your children, for even if they were to outnumber one man's heart, that would not diminish Allah's kingdom in the least. When you hold in contempt those who oppose Allah, then you and your children are the beneficiaries; for the child who grows up not hoping for dignity from Allah, mocking everything that is truly sacred, glorifying those who oppose Allah for the sake of money or beauty or position or power, this child grows up trivial, cheap, unfaithful to you, capable of being enslaved, not deterred by character or honor or religion.
O Allah, we bear witness to You that we glorify You, and we hold in contempt and despise those who oppose You and diminish Your glory, and we ask You to seize us and our offspring upon that, and to resurrect us upon that on a day when neither wealth nor children will benefit except those who come to Allah with a sound heart.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
