And then he said he's going to talk about Rivalwale-e-Ainbid as it relates to speech, actions, the heart and wealth. And we went through speech. It was about how to speak to them and all of the various narrations taken from the Qur'an, the understanding of the early generations. And then he went into how to respect them according to the body. And he said that not walking in front of them, we discussed that and the exceptions to that rule, and advice on how to apply that with our children, especially when they rush into the house or you come to the Meshjid and they just dart and just run off. Especially if it's like a dart parking lot. How many of you have our parents and you see your kids just dart off and there's cars moving around. So even in those situations walking behind you might be more beneficial. There's a video that went viral a couple of years ago of a guerrilla, a troop of guerrillas that were traveling in a jungle and they came out to where there was a road and there was a number of cars. And the silverback, the father of the troop, he kind of looked out of the jungle. He walked out, he stood in the middle of the road. These creatures are very big, taller than a lot of men if they stand up.  And then he just stood in the road looking, making sure that the car is on both sides. And then once everybody had crossed over the road, then he looked and then he walked back. And so even in the animal kingdom that idea of the men being the protectors of the families, we see that. So when you, as the parents, you know, you're making that decision on when they're walking in front of you, when they're walking behind you, when you want to keep an eye on them, but at the same time also remembering that there's an etiquette of how they should be around you. Then he talked about the orders and if your parents order you to do something, when you have to obey them and when you don't have to obey them. One of the principles was if it's not haram or harmful. So if they tell you to do something, if they ask you to do something and it's haram, of course we don't obey, but we decline respectfully. And if they order us to do something that's harmful or unreasonable and we went through examples of that. And then we ended on the principle of what happens if your parents order you to do something, but it goes against the edad, the etiquette of how you should be with them. I mentioned two stories from the Sahaba, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Ali, where the Prophet ﷺ had ordered them and it went against the edad. The other proof that we follow the order over the edad is actually found in the Tashahud. So normally when we mention the name of the Prophet ﷺ, what is the etiquette of mentioning his name? What are some of the etiquettes? Salawat. Salawat, same Salawat, what else? Sayyiduna Muhammad, our master Muhammad, or what else? If we say Muhammad, we should say Sayyiduna Muhammad. Or if we don't say Muhammad, we say Rasulullah, Nabilullah, Habibullah. One of the honorific titles that we refer to. So that he's not just treated as some random person. And sometimes, have you ever heard people just refer to the Prophet ﷺ as just by his first name and they don't put the Salawat and they don't put a title? And it's like, who are you talking about? Your neighbor? You know, your younger brother? Are you talking about your younger brother Muhammad? Your neighbor Muhammad? The shopkeeper Muhammad? Or are you talking about Rasulullah? If you're talking about Rasulullah ﷺ, add that honorific title. But one of the proofs that we actually go with the order over the edad is in the Tashahud of the prayer. So think about the Tashahud of the prayer. Right? We do the shahada. But we don't say Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah. And in the shahada, we don't say, you know, Ashadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashadu an na sayydana Muhammad an abdouh wa rasuluh. Which is true, it's linguistically it would work. Theologically it would work. But is that the way the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to say the shahada? And is that the way that he taught us how to say the Tashahud? And is that how the shahada is presented in the Qur'an? So here we see Allah SWT giving us the formula that we should use, open order. The Prophet SAW giving us the shahada, the tashakhud, but we dropped the Sayyiduna in that situation. So that's a proof that some of the scholars said, well, in certain situations, even that the order overrides the edam. So it's a fine point, but you can utilize it in your interaction with your parents If they ask you to do something, but you just feel like, I know you're telling me to do this, but I just don't feel like it's proper, it's not respectful of you. The same thing for your children. Be conscious of that, because they might be in this situation. After I went through this text one time, what we went through the section of obeying your parents, and then he's going to talk about even sitting down before your parents, eating before your parents, that the edam is that you should not start eating until your parents have started eating.  So one student, he said, his mother made him some food, and she gave him the plate, said go sit down and start eating. And so he sat down at the, or he stood by the table, and he stood up, and she looked over, and she's still preparing other things for the meal. She said, why aren't you starting to eat? And he said, well, because the edam, the etiquette, is that I should not sit down.  She said, yes, but I'm giving you an order to eat. And so then he went ahead and eat. And I explained to him, I said, that's when I told him about this discussion of the order and the edam. So he was following the edam in that situation, and the mother was following the order, but what she wanted in that was the child to follow the order.  They might start mentioning the edam, they want to follow the edam. And that's a good sign, that's a sign that you as the parents have actually instilled in them that etiquette, that they can have this attention to details and to subtle things. In fact, some of the ulama, when they looked at edam, like if somebody would say, what is edam in the tradition of Islam? When we say, you know, have edam, maintain edam, what exactly is edam? And some people might list that, you know, edam is this and edam is that. Others say, no, edam is actually America, which means it's an expertise or a second nature that you develop. And so after working on something time and time and time again, eventually it becomes part of you, and you might be in a situation where you feel something is right or something is wrong. You don't have an exact understanding of what, you can't put your finger on it, but you feel this is the right thing to do. And so that's one of the concepts of edam, that you're in a situation and you feel, okay, I understand the ruling, I understand what we have to do with this, we're not going to compromise on our religion, but what would be the proper way of presenting this ruling or applying this ruling in this situation? That deep connection to the deen is edam. Then Sheikh Mohammed Mubud mentioned that if your parents tell you to do an act of worship, not a wajib, but an extra act of worship, that at that time it actually becomes an obligation. This is a very interesting hookup. That according to many of the Fulbaha, if they tell you, okay, I want you to go pray your Sunnahs.  Well, it's just Sunnah, right? Well, when you tell them to pray the Sunnah, it actually becomes an obligation because by not doing it, they're bothering you. And we're going through this whole science of not bothering the parents and honoring the parents as long as it's within reason. If the parents tell you, oh, I want you to get up and pray two hours of Tahajjud, is that reasonable? No. Two rakahs before Asa, two rakahs before Lohu, two after motherhood, that's reasonable because even especially the way children pray, we'll only take about 30 seconds or a minute, right? But the same applies also to us as adults. If our parents ask us to do something and it's an act of worship and it's not going to harm us, it's not going to take us out, it's not going to be unreasonable for us to try to do this, then that actually could become an obligation. So it says, in أمرابي طاعتين و جبتي كداك مكتصفة بالكراهتي. Another interesting thing is that if they tell us to do something Makru, then it actually becomes wajr to do it. And not the Makru that's a sin, but a Makru would be something like, say for example, if a person is going out of the house to the Masjid, to attend the prayer in Jama'a, it's سنة to attend the Masjid in Jama'a. If a person is able to attend the Masjid in Jama'a and does not go, it's Makru, it's dislike. Dislike to pray on your own when you have the ease and the opportunity to pray with the Jama'a.  You pray on your own and just stay here. Finish, have a meal with me, have some tea with me or something. And a person in that situation might say, oh, wait a minute, this is the Salah, this is the Jama'a, this is praying in congregation, praying in the Masjid, it's so important, which is all true. If you look at the way the Prophet, peace be upon him, how he established the Jama'a in the early generation, it was true, it was very, very, it was core and it was essential. They would actually look at the Jama'a and the people who are not there, what did they think about that? They're sick. What's that? They're sick. They might think they're sick, but the people who regularly did not attend the Jama'a. Hippocrates, it was one of the signs of the Jama'a name. They didn't come to the Jama'a a lot if they could avoid it. And if they did come, they came just kind of like walking slowly and when they get to the prayer, it's just kind of like lazily, whereas the Sahaba, a lot of them were running to the Jama'a to the point that one Sahaba, one time he came into the Masjid and he was, we've all seen the brothers that come to the Masjid like running, right? We also know that the brothers and maybe even sisters who double park and park in the red zones, every Masjid has that issue, right? Parking and illegally parking to get to the Jama'a. And so the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, addressed that. He said, if you come to the Jama'a, come and you have Sakina and Waqar about you, have tranquility and dignity. So don't come rushing. So even though it's important to pray, and he said, if people understood the edjab that is in the Jama'a prayer, the Risha prayer, they would have come what? How would have they come to the prayer? Hauwa, crawling. They would have crawled. So he's telling them, come to the prayer. Even if you have to crawl. And when they start running, no, no, no, hold on a second. Okay, it's important to come, but come with the edjab, the etiquette. So yes, here's a sunnah, but there's an etiquette, there's an edjab in coming to the love and desire for certain acts of worship, override other elements of the sunnah. We have to look at the sunnah. So if we're running to the Jama'a, that's not it. We're not following a sunnah to reach a sunnah. If we're illegally parking to get to the Jama'a, we're double parking and blocking somebody in. At that point, we're actually doing something haram to get to the Jama'a. And so this is the edjab that's mentioned where if the parents tells a child, please I don't want you to attend, the Jama'a stay with me. Now this is normally Makru, but they said, okay, well here's a dilemma that we have. It's Makru, the parent is telling you to do something Makru, but upsetting them is what? Haram. So now we have to weigh out what is the lesser of the two harms in this situation? Ahafu gharaneh. And they said, go with what the parents want. Unless it becomes consistent. If the parents are always telling the children, no, no, no, no, no. And there are some parents, once they start seeing their children become more observant.  You shouldn't wear hijab. You shouldn't go to the masjid. All of these things are, it's a type of, if a person obeys whoever's telling them, whether it's a teacher, whether it's a parent, or whether it's the government that's saying, don't have this element of Islam, don't have this element of Islam. They said, this is a method of distinguishing the light of the sunnah and the sharia. Nobody has that right to do that. That's why for the people who are in that situation, the Quran has mandated hijab. If you can't practice here in Mecca, go to Medina. And so hijrah has always been a part of our deen, and one of it is so that we can have the shair of the deen. We can have these outward symbols of the deen. So nobody, including the parent, have the right to change that. But once in a while, if they ask us to do something that's might be disliked, we shouldn't allow a type of arrogance.  No, understand what the ulama have said. For this parent specifically, this is not something that's given to anybody else. That the harm of upsetting them and avoiding that overrides, sometimes doing something that's makhub, disliked. It's not a sin, it's disliked. An example of this one time, Imam Malik came into the masjid. And if we read about the story of Imam Malik, there's actually a hadith where the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said that there will come a time when people will be the livers of their camels, meaning they will travel like very hard. They will go east and west and they will not find anybody more knowledgeable than the scholar of Medina. When Imam Malik came, they said this is who the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was talking about. Imam Malik was born in Medina, he was raised in Medina, he died in Medina, he only left Medina to make it the hajj. He never rode an animal in Medina. If he had to ride an animal, he would take it outside of the city because he said, I don't want to be on an animal in the city of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He never wore his sandals in the city of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He, before he began teaching publicly, he got permission from 70, 70 of the highest scholars of Medina at the time. He had people who could come to him and he studied with Tabe'een who had studied with the Sahaba. So he was a very high level scholar. One of the four schools that have preserved Islam, Sunni Islam is Imam Malik. Now imagine his, I'm just prefacing that to see like, now he walks into the Masjid and he walks in after Asr and he sits down. And a random person from Medina, some say it was even a child, says, you need to pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid. This is Imam Malik, one of the preservers of the Sunnah. If somebody knows the Sunnah, he knows the Sunnah. And according to him that the Tahiyyat al-Masjid Nawafil is Makru after Asr, even the Tahiyyat al-Masjid. So he sat down. Well, when this person, when this just average person from the city told Imam Malik to pray, he stood up and prayed to Rakaas. So even though he says it's Makru to pray after Asr, even if it's Tahiyyat al-Masjid, this person says why didn't you pray and he gets up and pray? Why did he do that? He's not being hypocritical, but people want to know why did you do that? So somebody asked him, they said why did you do that? He said because in the Qur'an, Allah SWT says, وَإِذَا قِلِ لَهِ مُرْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ And when it is said to them, meaning the disbelievers, اِرْكَعُ, you know, pray they don't pray. He said, and I didn't want to be for those people. So somebody just told me pray and it wasn't a time this haram. He's like, well, so he's looking at two different things. He said, according to his understanding of the sunnah, that's actually dislike to do. But at the same time, the Qur'an is talking about a general principle of one of the descriptions of the disbelievers is that when they are told to prostrate, to actually to do rukor, meaning to pray, they don't pray and I don't want to be from a month's here. So how many times have we been in situations where something may be permissible according to the sharia, but there's just something where like, I can't do that. Like my endeavor about this matter, I can't do that. An example that comes to mind right now is the halal bacon that has become very popular, right?   Yeah? And one of the reasons is, is because they're like, it's just so similar to what we're not supposed to be eating. And so it's not that it's haram, just that this person's edam, their etiquette is not allowing them to do them. So then Muhammad Monod says, also about the regular sunnas, that the parents have no, they don't have any right to tell a child to stop them. So the regular sunnas, they should be established individually by the community and nobody has the right to stop them. And this is important too, because sometimes again, when people start practicing their faith, parents might say, oh, I don't want you to do that. And so this happens like, as I mentioned, sometimes it's with the beard, sometimes with the kufi, sometimes with the hijab, sometimes with praying, sometimes with praying in public. What if somebody says, oh, I wanna pray in public and the parents say, no, no, no, no, don't pray in public. And so it might cause him to delay the prayer out of its, out of its first time. Or they say, I don't want you, I don't want you to be so outward about your faith. And so yes, we respect the parents, but at the same time, we cannot allow them to cause elements of the deen to be extinguished. And then I'll just end in this last section and I'll open it up for questions and then. So now he discusses an interesting point, which is about sefa, traveling without the permission of the parents. And if you remember in the discussion of Jewish, the monk from Bani Israel, who was praying and he had to make the choice between prayer or answering his mother and he went on with the prayer and she made dua against him. One of the things that Imam Noah, he mentions that we take from this hadith is the prohibition of traveling without permission of the parents. So Muhammad Molud says, wala twosafil fee mubahin bal wala nafila fila ila ila maa qabila. Don't travel in a permissible trip or even at a recommended trip unless they accept for you to travel. So this could be going out of the house. If it could also be going to just taking a drive around. If it's something that they don't want and again, it's reasonable. It's not like sometimes some parents want to just smother their child and no, don't go and I always wanna be around you. No, that's not reasonable. What we're talking about a reasonable request if they say, I don't want you to travel, then it would be an obligation. According to some scholars that we follow them. For some people once they're in adulthood this may be an issue that they're facing with their parents but this is also something that we should remember as we're raising our children that as they're now starting to leave and go out with their friends and wanting to do activities that we do have a right as parents to limit that freedom. So it's not just about, oh, I don't wanna limit his freedom and he or she can go out and do whatever they want. At the same time, you don't want to smother them and become like helicopter parents and hovering around them to not give them any freedom. So we have to be able to strike a balance based on understanding the child and the situation that they're asking to be in. And sometimes you might be in a situation where two of your own children, you're giving more freedom to one of your children than the other because you feel that they're more mature and they would be able to make the right decisions and the right choices in situations that people might make the wrong decision.  And this is the decision that you're making as the parents. You have to be careful that they don't feel that it's inequality. We also know from the Sunnah, the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said to make sure that you're equal, that you treat your children equally, even in, what did he say? He said, treat them equally and give them things evenly, evenly, even in kissing them, even in kissing them. So sometimes you might hug a younger child if you have a number of children like, how can we don't get that? So the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam knew what he was talking about, Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He knew that children have this when they see one child getting loved or kissed more that it could cause enmity with the other one. So he's teaching us even, if you give this one five kisses, make sure you give the other one five kisses as well. When you give out, when you give them gifts, make sure you're trying to be as equal and fair as possible. And this hadith actually has been taken to the point of, it's not just when you're thinking about candy, it's like also if you have wealth and you're starting to distribute some of your wealth to your adult children, then you have to be equal amongst them, be equal amongst the children of that. So the parents have a right to tell the child not to travel and that's if it's permissible, just like a regular radio trip. But what if it's a trip to go and seek knowledge? He says if it's a trip to go and seek knowledge, then you have to look, is there anybody in your local area who can teach you? And if there's not, and the only way to study your Dean if you have to travel, which is traditionally was called the Rehla. So Rehla means now, what are the modern Arabs use Rehla as? Justification, going on a Rehla. But traditionally the Rehla was the adventure or the trip that a Muslim made to go and seek knowledge. And they would go to far extents to seek this knowledge. And it was not just about studying with people, it was also about taking from their edab, taking from their character, taking from their example, imammatic before he would go to his lesson, his mother as a young child, his mother would tell him, when you go to your teacher, learn edab before you learn his Rehla. Learn his character and his etiquette before his knowledge. Take from his edab before his Rehla. Yes. So Rehla says that you need to take permission from your parents. Does it mean that every time you step out or do you take permission? Yeah, so the question is that when you have to take permission from your parents, does it mean that every single time you have to ask permission from your parents? And the answer is no. You don't have to literally, like a military style or prison style, go and get permission to leave the compound, permission to leave the residence, that's not what it's talking about. It's just talking about you eventually you know when, what type of leaving of the house they would like or what they wouldn't like. If you leave and they're asleep, but you might leave a note or sometimes people might say, okay I didn't want to, I had to go shopping but I waited for my mother and my father to finish praying so I could let them know that or I waited for them to wake up so I could let them know that or when I left the house, I sent a text message or I wrote something but just something to let them know that this is not like a hotel because a hotel you go and come in and say, please you don't have to ask anybody, you go to your work, unless you're punching in and punching out, you go inside your work and you leave and you don't have to tell somebody, hey I'm leaving, unless some managers or some bosses want to know but take the example of a hotel, hotel you don't have to tell the people you're going or you're coming. So it's just to show your parents that the relationship that I have with you is you're not just any house, you're somebody that I respect more, if we think about, like a guest, if you go to somebody's house, a host and you leave without letting the host know, think of how they would feel or how you would feel if you were the host and these are your parents who hosted you for years and years before you could even walk and talk and take care of yourself. Or if you, you know, the etiquette of leaving Mecca. What is one of the etiquettes of leaving Mecca when you go to Hajj, for example? You have go off in Ifaba, once you finish it, and then what?   Bye. So we don't just leave the Ka'ba. Now at the same time, you don't go, have you ever seen people walk out of the Ka'ba and they walk backwards because they don't want to turn their back to the Ka'ba? So they said that's not according to the Sunnah but some people do it because they just feel like, oh, I don't want to turn my back to the Ka'ba. So they've developed that but it's considered an innovation. It's not something that's from the actions of the Prophets of the Law of the Sunnah in leaving the Ka'ba.  So we don't treat it like any other Meshjid. I mean this Meshjid, there's an etiquette of coming to the Meshjid, right? But is there a prayer that we have to do to leave the Meshjid? There's not. But Mecca has a special status. So in the same way with our parents, we don't just leave without letting them know. We let them know. We respect you, your feelings.  Where's my daughter? I left a note. I told you or I let you know before. So to bring up that level of respectful interaction. But if you know that the parents are okay, then you don't have to, so if you have children, say for example, in high school or college, and you know, okay, they leave to school at eight in the morning. You know, and they know and you know and it's the understanding that you don't have to ask. And again, this is not a hukum shari, like a shariah ruling where you have to ask before they leave every single time. It's just the idea that you don't make the going and the coming with your parents like the going and the coming with strangers. So he says if you have to seek knowledge and your parents are telling you don't travel, you can disobey them. If you have to go to Hajj and they're like, oh, don't go to Hajj, for whatever reason, you can disobey them. If a person has to find a job, if it's difficult in their locale to find a job, to further their career, to study it, there are things that are necessities of life. Well, the parents can't prevent a person from following the necessities of life. But we start with the understanding that the baseline ruling is that my goings and coming even as an adult are respect to the parent, that's the baseline. And I ask their permission, that's the baseline, asking their permission. But if it gets unreasonable, then we don't have to follow their request. Before I get into the financial support of the parents, do we have any questions on your comments about the bid as it relates to our body? Walking, sitting, oh, also he mentions, I mentioned it, but he says, don't sit in a place that's better or higher than your parents. And also when you come to sit, he mentions here a point of edit that you should ask permission to be seated and permission to leave from your parents. Now a lot of cultures today, I don't think most cultures have this where it's actually part of the culture. Even this book was written in West Africa and Mauritania, they don't have that culture. The people don't have where they'll ask the parents, oh, may I permission to be seated, may I have a seat, may I leave and so forth. And I know one person who tried it here and the parent got annoyed because it's not part of our culture. And I mean, is there any culture here where they have, where you've seen that, where the child actually asked from the parent, may I have a seat, may I leave? I know in America a long time ago, they would say, can I leave the table? May I leave the table? Yeah, no, that's what you're gonna ask, yeah. Yeah, that too, like at the leave, you're about to get out from the table for sure. For the table? Compermiso, like with permission. Oh, okay, how do you say it? Compermiso with. Compermiso, okay. So even now at the table in Spanish culture, you ask permission to leave.  Okay, so we do have that, so it's still, yeah. And if the parent, something that's like, from the etiquette of the culture, and our dean is saying to do it, then yeah, definitely. Then now a person has more infested, like more motivation to do it, because now it's also in the dean.  Some people will, before they leave, like at the presence of a teacher, they'll say, instead of leaving an income. Does anybody ever heard that from the air cultures with their parents? Before they leave the parents? Or any other, basically like, con permiso, with permission, permission to leave. In Pakistan? Do they have anything that they say specifically? It's like a, a jazzy path. A jazzy path, okay, yeah. You know, may I leave? May I leave, yeah. And I think, I mean, one of the things that happens in modern societies, we're losing a lot of etiquettes. And so this might be something that, you know, with somewhere within our life, we don't know where it's going to be within our individual households, that we try to bring a certain level of etiquette so that we can have some traditions that are passed on. Like for example, one tradition that I really like in the daisy cultures is the older brother, they refer to him as Bai, right? And the older sister is, Abid? Yeah, so Aba, okay. So they have a specific name for the older brother or the older sister. And I think that's good because even in our deen, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said the oldest brother is like the father. You know, so the idea that the eldest is old a little bit more respect. So if we have that ingrained to our culture, that's something that's good. Any other questions or comments? Okay, so then Sheikh Mohammed Maroud mentions that now when it comes to financial support, now again, some people may be naturally inclined and they're just generous people and they want to support their parents and they don't count. And that's one of the things that I learned from seeing people who I know were generous. They don't count, they're not counting the money. They're just, they're giving. It's a difference between being wasteful. It's not about being wasteful. It's just they're generous and they're not nitpicking and like counting the pennies or pennies. One of the students here, I said pin. Talking about the writing pin, but it should be pronounced pen. So I'm working on my distinction between the pen and the penny. Pennies, you know, we're not counting, we're not gonna count pennies. We should be generous. And so if and the person that we should be most or the people we should be most generous with are our parents. Especially because when we needed it, they weren't sitting there counting pennies. They were medicine, buy it. Food, buy it. Diapers, buy it. Clothes, buy it. Clothes are too small, buy it. How many of you buy it?   That's not the way the average parent is with their child. So that's the way we are with our children. That's the way our parents were with us. Generous, generous, being generous. So now when it comes time for the generosity, the generosity to be reciprocated, and now we pay it forward, give it to our parents, we should also be generous. So if a person's generous, and we don't have to get into all of these rules of, well, how much do I actually owe my parents? You see what I'm saying? It's like the same thing in a marriage. If a person comes to an Imam or a sheikh, and he asks a question, well, how much do I actually have to financially support my wife with? That's not the sign of a good marriage. Now we can answer, we say, well, here's the bare minimum. And the bare minimum is not, I'll tell you what the bare minimum is. In clothing, it's two outfits a year. One for the winter, one for the summer and the spring. Now you tell me, is any marriage gonna work with that?  You wanna just talk about bare minimum fuck? Okay, let's make this a bare minimum relationship. It's not going to work. And so these rules that we're about to go over, which is what is the bare minimum in terms of giving to your parents? We're just, it's just, it's good to know the baseline. It's good to know like in a marriage, yes, the financial obligation is upon the husband to the wife.  But at the same time, the wife should also remember in her mind like, his basic obligation is nowhere near what the custom dictates to the people. So if my husband is not choosing to spend on this, that, or the other, he's not doing anything ha-ha. And I shouldn't make it seem as if he's doing something ha-ha.   And I'm not cooking for your children, because that's not an obligation on her. That shocks a lot of people. She has to cook for the husband, not for the children, and not for his guests. So all those Ramaban feasts that the mom does, she doesn't have to do those. The pickups and drop-offs from school, mom doesn't have to do those. Now, I'm not trying to, you know, like, liberalism and feminism and like, you know, all right, sisters, stop, no, that's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about, if they start going, if the marriage starts going tick for tad, and what do I have to do and what you have to do, that's not a healthy relationship. But it's good to know that down there at the bottom, there is a bare minimum, so that also when we're giving, we're giving generously and lovingly, and we know, like, I don't have to do this, but I want to do this. And the wife is doing the same thing, you know, I don't have to do this, but I, and I'm not going to make it a big contention in my relationship, because that's not, you know, that's not the point of the marriage. This is not like some cutthroat love, they'll talk about Kitab and Sunnah, and so forth, so I'm going to do extra. So now when it comes to the parents, it is a financial, it is an obligation upon children to financially support their parents. It's an obligation, but there's a few conditions to that. So one of the things they mention is that, well, what if the parent is actually able to work, but chooses not to?  Well, that's my retirement plan. And as soon as they start working, man, you know, okay, I'm going to cash in on my stocks and bonds and 401K plan and all that, my kids, and they're going to work and they're going to support me. I'm going to live in my kid's house, I'm going to take from their salary, and so forth. So the vukahah said, that's not what it means. The obligation of the child to support the parent is only when the parent is not able to provide for themselves. So this also creates a strong work ethic in the Muslim. The strong work ethic is, I'm going to work as long as I can, I'm going to work. And I'm going to, even if I have to support myself by the sweat of my brow, I'm going to do it. And if my son wants to help me out, I'm going to do that, but I'm out there, I'm going to be working self-sufficient, self-reliant, and so forth. But when it comes time for them to have a need, who are the people that are obligated to support them? They're children. That's one point. The other point is, well, who amongst the children is it an obligation upon if they have multiple children? So there's three opinions. One says it's just the boys, just the men in the family. And this makes sense from the idea of a Rijal-u-Kawamuna al-Nisa. If we're going to tell the women, you don't have to work to support your husband and your children. That's his job. Then why aren't we going to tell the women you have to support your parents? It's on the men. The other opinion is, well, and again, there's nothing clear from the directives of the Sunna of the Prophet, the words, direct words of the Prophet, so I'm addressing this. So all we have is HD hat. We have educated estimations. I'm not even going to say it, I guess. They're taking a principle, which the principle is, men support the families. Well, let's apply that over here to the parents. It's the men in the family. The other opinion is that, well, we look at the inheritance. Girls have a right to inheritance, and so if they have a right to the parents' inheritance, then they also, that comes in up with an obligation that when the parents are in financial need, the girls should support as well. But they said, on that opinion, they said it goes according to the inheritance rules. So if the boys are getting two shares of the inheritance and the girls for every one share, the boys get two shares, well, that's their financial obligation when it comes to financial support of the parents. The third opinion is that it's equal among all the children. Okay, why do we mention all these opinions? Just to say, it is an obligation. There's some difference of opinion on the details of how that's done. But ultimately, when it comes time for a family to support their parents, it shouldn't get to this point. It shouldn't, sometimes it might. It might get to the point where people are like, well, how much are you giving and how much are I giving? But the best thing would be that they do whatever they're able to and they're understanding of each other. If there's a girl in the family and she is wealthier than one of her brothers, she understands, well, even though there's not a fit, the fit supports that he has to give more than me, I'm gonna say out of the generosity of my own soul, I'm gonna give more, because I understand my brother. And that's the etiquette of the echelab, the edem, the character that a person should have. So that's in terms of who has to support the parents. The big question becomes, well, how much do we have to give the parents? And the general principle is that we have to support the parents according to the custom of the society that we live in to a point that they're not feeling like they're wasting away. They're actually feeling like, so we don't have to give them a lavish lifestyle, but at the same time, we don't just have to say, well, here's bare minimum food, clothing and housing to keep you alive. No, that's also not what the dean is teaching us. The dean is teaching us that we have to support them in a way that gives them a comfortable lifestyle. That's the best way to put it, a comfortable lifestyle. So not lavish and not bare minimum, but comfortable, awesome. And as a proof of this, they said if the parents want new clothes for me, I mean, you might say like, who would make a big deal about this? But you'd be surprised, right? There are some people who's just, their miserliness will kick in even with the people who are closest to them. And even though it should never kick in with the parents of all people, it should never kick in with the parents, their miserliness kicks in with the parents. And so they said, no, even if your parent asks for a new clothes for me, somebody says, well, he's got other outfits. Let him wear last year's outfit. No, you give him something because is it lavish to have a new clothes for me? No, is it bare minimum? Can they wear last year's clothes? Yeah, but is it comfortable to have new clothes? So that's the idea that we want our parents, we want to keep our parents at a comfortable level. The last point in this section he mentioned, which is the last Muhammad Molud said, be in speech, action, wealth, and then in heart. And so then he says, I think this is probably one of the most difficult ones. We'll end here and answer any questions. But it's basically that in addition to maintaining outward etiquette and edem and respect and honoring our parents, we also have to have it inwardly in our hearts. And this is taken from the understanding, as I mentioned earlier, that the ayahs in Surat al-Isra'ab which are very comprehensive about Ibn-ul-Wadi-Dayyat is 1723 to 25. After Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala mentions, don't speak to them this way and speak to them this way and don't say uff and be humble.  So after going through all of the outward etiquette, don't say uff. Don't say hargumah. Don't say uff. Don't say hargumah. And don't say uff to them and don't say uff to them. And all of the outward etiquette, and be humble, then he says, and Your Lord knows what's in your hearts. Meaning, even if you maintain the outward etiquette with your parents, and we know people like this, right? In front of their parents? No, no, I mean, yeah, I mean. But if they get behind it, like, I cannot stand that man. So we have to have it inwardly in our hearts. So that person has, in their hearts, bold or hate for their parents, even though outwardly they're maintaining the etiquette. So if somebody comes and says, when you sit with your parents there, I follow the rules. Financial, I follow the rules. Traveling, I follow the rules. I follow the rules. I follow everything outwardly. But in their heart, they have issues with their parents. He says, this is something that you have to get out of your heart. And this is very difficult. If a person has something, especially if it's resentment, sometimes maybe something that was not done or something that was done wrong from childhood. And one of the things that really, really hurts human beings is resentment. There's a very famous speaker now, and he's a clinical psychologist. And he said that a lot of problems in life, or everybody's problems in life, he says after 40 years of seeing thousands of patients in his clinical practice, he says I've broken it down to three things. These are the three things that cause all problems in life. Arrogance, resentment, and deceit, or treachery. And he also speaks a lot from, he's not a Muslim, he speaks from the Bible. And he says these three elements are in the story of Iblis, Shepan. Think about it. Arrogance, and I'm better than him. Resentment. Who was Iblis resentful against? Hmm? Adam, but ultimately, who? Allah. And he says, Iblis, wait any. You're the one who did this to me. Speaking to Allah.  And then treachery. What does Iblis say at the end of that story? He was arrogant against Adam, he was resentful, then what does he say to him? If you delay me, what is he gonna do?  And so he says, speaking from his clinical practice, he says these three things, if we have them in our life, arrogance, resentment, and deceit, or treachery, it ruins everything, ruins friendships, ruins businesses, ruins marriages, ruins relationships. And so the point that I've mentioned here is the resentment that we might have towards our parents. If we have resentment, it's not healthy.  One of my students who's in prison, he has life without parole, he's working on an innocence claim because there were some issues with his, the key witness actually came forth and he said, I lied. And they said, well now we don't accept that he has life without parole. So he's in prison, he's helping a lot of people. And one of the things that he's doing is developing a 12 steps program to address alcohol and narcotics use from an Islamic lens. But one of the things that's very important, whether in addiction or any criminal behavior, and this goes for any of us who's struggling with a fault, struggling with doing something haram, is that we have to take responsibility for our actions. That's one of the main steps. Until we take responsibility for our actions, we're not going to be able to get past them. And so then he asked me a question today, and he said, I heard that the sheikhban was given the opportunity that if he just takes responsibility for his actions, then he will be forgiven. And so I had a big recollection of something, I looked it up, there is a hadith. It's considered da'if, Imam Suyuti mentions it in his tafsih, but he says it's a da'if hadith. But listen to what it has, because it's still a hadith. Even though it's da'if, it's still a hadith. So he says the sheikhban came to Musa al-Isra and he said Musa, your Lord sent you as a messenger and spoke to you after you made toba. Now granted, Musa al-Isra, when he pushed the person and killed him, he didn't do it on purpose, right? He didn't realize his strength, the man fell, it is head and so forth. But he made toba from that even so. So at least you made toba from that and Allah chose you as tafaka and he spoke to you. I'm gonna ask you to intercede on my behalf to your Lord. And actually in the hadith he says to my Lord. But he says ila Rabbi to my Lord just to say can he make toba from. So Musa al-Isra made dua and Allah sent him one. And Allah says, I responded to your call to Musa. So then Musa tells the police, he said Allah responded. You just have to do one thing. What do you think it was? Take responsibility, but what? Like he actually asked, Allah asked him for an action. What about you guys? Postrait, well Adam's not alive, so what did he say? He says go to where Adam and Ali said, I will remind them of their wife and their children and I'll make them retreat from the battlefield, which is one of the kebab.  So he gave me these three pieces of advice. Basically you did me a favor, thank you. I didn't get what I wanted. But my student asked me to look up this hadith because he said basically what's happening in this hadith is that the sheykh is still not taking responsibility for his actions. He was given a chance, but part of it was the resentment. So he's holding on, he's resentful and now we have to look in our lives, if we're holding on to something resentful, whether it's to our parents or our spouse or our children or our friends or our neighbors or our siblings, if we're holding on to some resentment we really have to figure out what that is and start working on letting it go. And that's what he's saying. Part of the bit is, the respect of the parents is to remove this from the heart. Spot it on here? So we'll just wait. It's here. It's here, okay. So we'll end there. If there's any questions until the maham arrives for the someone. Yes. You mentioned the, because you know the girls have to ask for support. I don't know. But if they are not able to work, if they are married, then how could they... If they have wealth, this is all talking about they have wealth. There's no person who does not have wealth is ever forced to work. So it's about a person who has the wealth from whatever method and then you go.

You had been on the front lines many times earlier and you'd known a lot of war correspondents. What made him unique? We heard a little bit about that in the film, but in your view, what made him unique? He, I mean, he was very brave and he was also quite cautious, which don't always go together. And he also, he was not interested in war, he was really interested in people and what happens to people in war. It's very, combat is very dramatic and it's very easy to get distracted by the sort of like repetitive drama of combat and just take a lot of photographs of guys shooting guns. And that's actually not that interesting and Tim sort of saw through that and what he was really interested in was the human drama that plays out in war in such an intense form between men in the platoon, between, you know, in refugee populations, whoever it may be, that's what interested him. And that made him quite different from a lot of combat photographers.


This research paper examines the structure and dynamics of a six-duplex DNA nanostructure in different environments. In simple solvents, the structure differs from what was expected based on the design, but when placed inside a lipid bilayer, the structure returns to its intended design. Additionally, the salt concentration affects the stability of the structure, which could have implications for future applications such as sensors or drug delivery systems. This article was authored by Katia Ahmed, Abid Javad, Conor Lanfair, and others.


My name is Edward Statenauer. I'm a professor of medicine and chief of hematologic malignancies at the Aberson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. Therapy for myeloma has really changed over the last decade. In fact, it is one of the major success stories of all of medicine. The new therapies that we have, particularly when used in combination, are very likely to make the symptoms that the patients have much better and to prolong survival. Hackensack Medical Center has been a major investigator and a major therapy center for multiple myeloma for many years. We're in Philadelphia and our patients have benefited from the educational materials that come out of Hackensack about their support group and potential investigational therapies there. We have a very nice relationship and their patients will benefit from our center also.

Hey Sergeant, wait a minute! Who's that? Something wrong, Caster? Yes, I want to report a robbery It was that no good muddy Andrews He came into my store and stole my gun What kind of a gun was it? It was a single-action code 45 with an ivory grip Maybe he'd have stolen my money too But then him and my cash drawer was locked All right, Caster, let's see if we can't get your gun back Yeah, thank you, and make sure you put that young loaf of air he belongs In jail! Come on, Blakie Marty Andrews had no parents He worked at Ben Davis' livery stable during the day And slept in the loft overhead at night As Sergeant Preston rained up at the livery stable He was greeted by Ben Davis Hello, Blakie Hello Sorry, Sergeant Ben, where's Marty? Try the Goldust Cafe That's where he's been spending most of his time lately Hanging around Slick Morgan and his pal Krebs Thanks, man. Come on, Blakie The Goldust Cafe was crowded with sourdows and trappers In one corner of the room, a boy still in his teens Sat at a table with two tough-looking men The boy was saying eagerly Listen, Slick, how about taking me along next time you and Krebs pull another job? Take you along? What's wrong? Oh, you mean there's a mascot? You ain't even dry behind the ears yet, kid What would you do if there happened to be any gunplay? I can't take care of myself I got a gun right here Hey, yes, it did Just take a look at that gun, kid Take a look at something else A Mountie Yeah, Sergeant Preston is coming right this way Hey, give me back that gun What's the matter? You afraid the law won't let you keep it? Well, well, well, if it isn't the pride of the Mounties and his faithful pooch Hey, don't they look pretty in that red coat and all them brass buttons?

What for? I ain't done nothing You stole this gun from Casper Mulheim Who says I did?  Marty, you'll have a chance to tell your side of the story But you'll have to do it at headquarters Why don't you come along quietly and not make any trouble Yes, you better do like he says, kid Okay, I'll go along with you, Preston But you wouldn't be acting so cool if it was slick You had to arrest instead of me You know, Preston, I think he's right Maybe you'll have a chance to find out One of these days, slick Come on, Marty At mounted police headquarters, Marty First tried to brazen out the situation But he soon broke down and confessed When confronted by the man he had robbed Sergeant Preston tried hard to win the boy's confidence Only to be met by an attitude of sullen resistance Marty, believe me, I want to be your friend No, I don't make me laugh How can anyone be friends with a cop? Now, look, it doesn't matter whether you hate me or trust me Figure it out for yourself This is the fourth time you've been in trouble with the police If you keep on this way, you're sure to wind up With the long stretch behind bars Wouldn't it be smarter to go straight and avoid all that? I suppose I should follow my father's example, huh? What do you mean? He went straight and where did he get him?  Yeah, to look for gold Six months he spent freezing out in the bush And all he got was a bad case of typhoid fever Just barely had strength enough to crawl back to Dawson and die So instead of following your dad's example You'd rather take Slick Morgan as your model, is that it?  What are you talking about?  Ah, who are you? All right Marty, I won't argue with you Maybe there's some other way of changing your mind The following day, Sergeant Preston discussed Marty's case with Inspector Maynard Inspector, suppose we could find someone who'd be willing to take custody of the boy Someone who'd give him a decent home and set him some kind of an example I have an idea Marty might get a different slant on things Well, that's a pretty tall order What about Pop McIntosh, sir? Pop McIntosh? Well, Thunder Sergeant, you may have something there Should I talk to Pop and see what he thinks of the idea? Do that, Sergeant If you can get him interested in the boy I'll go to the commissioner and have Marty parole to Pop's custody Pop McIntosh was an elderly trader, beloved by all who knew him Both whites and Indians When Sergeant Preston asked him if he'd be willing to take custody of Marty Andrews for a six month period And thus save the boy from a jail sentence Pop readily agreed Several days later, the Sergeant and Marty arrived at Pop's trading post About ten miles north of Dawson City Pop, I'd like you to meet your new assistant, Marty Andrews Oh, you're the young fella that's going to move in with me It wasn't my idea It wasn't mine either, but I reckon it's a good idea just saying You know, I'm kind of looking forward to having someone keep me company at the post Now look, you think you're going to get any work out of me? You got another thing coming Marty That's all right, all right, son Suppose you take your duffel now and go on inside the post The Sergeant, me, will be in just as soon as I show him some new furs I've got hanging up out in shed All right Sorry, he's starting out this way, but... Oh, shut that, don't bother me, non-Sgt He's feeling mad at everybody right now He's got to take it out some way He'll change when we get to know each other better In spite of himself, Marty soon grew to like and respect the old trader And he willingly performed his share of the work around the trading post But outwardly, he remained as sullen, uncooperative as ever One day, Marty was alone at the counter when an Indian entered How? What do you got there, Redskin? Me bring two fox skin How much you want for him? Me want food, want money too Fifty dollars Fifty dollars?  Me, then sick Not able ten traps Maybe bring more skin later Sure, sure you will Well, what do you want for these pelts, Charlie? Money, food, clothes?

I know, as a matter of fact I was looking for you Oh, how come? I just ran into Ben Davis Told me he saw Marty in the gold dust café Talking to Slick Morgan, his pal Krebs Ben said the three of them had their heads Pretty close together Though they were talking something over Incidentally, is that a money bag you brought out of the bank? Yep, that's right Just drew out $5,000 Does Marty know you're drawing out that much money?  I'm not suggesting anything to rob But it might not hurt to be on your guard Just to be on the safe side I think I'll have the city patrol Locate Morgan and Krebs And keep them under surveillance It was nearing 10 o'clock When Pop and Marty arrived at the post In the moonlit darkness They saw a man seated on the low open porch As extended out in front of the post Pull that, Betty, girl Pull this wool Looks like somebody's waiting for it Yeah, you're right By thunder, it's my engine friend Charlie Oh He'd bring you more skin Oh, let's see, let's see here Two beaver skins in the Wolverine pouch By Juniper, this Wolverine's worth a hundred dollars by itself Come on inside Now figure out how much you got coming to you Oh, me not want nothing You good friend You give food, lend money when me need it Now you keep skins Mark Lukey, here now These pels are worth a lot more No, no Me give you skins for presents No, take money Me go now Well, I'll be horn swaddled Marty, it just goes to show you People may sneer at you and call you Soft hearted for following the golden rule But if you ask me It's just plain good business sense Pop and Marty unloaded the pack mule And led her into the stall Then they went inside the trading post Pop lit the lamp As Marty turned and started up the ladder Leading to the second floor, Pop said Wait a minute, Marty Something I've been meaning to talk to you about Yeah What is it? Marty, it gets pretty lonely around the post sometimes You've been a mighty big help to me since you've been here I was wondering what you might think of the idea of Me adopting you as my son Adopting me? That's right You see, I used to have a boy my own Not much older than you are right now He went with the rough riders Got killed on Cuba Maybe Sergeant Preston didn't tell you that No No, he didn't Well, do you think you might be willing to have me For a foster pop? What? Gotcha I don't know what to say Well, shucks, you don't have to make up your mind right away You take your time, think it over No sense rushing into things Meanwhile, back in Dawson City, Slick Morgan and his pal Krebs Were preparing to ride out to the trading post Unknown to the two crooks, a police constable Have been watching their cabin ever since nightfall A few minutes after they left the cabin The constable burst into Sergeant Preston's office At Mounted Police headquarters Sergeant, Morgan and Krebs just rolled out of town They had an extra horse with them Which way did they go? They headed north That means they could be heading for Pop's trading post Come on, King, we've got to tell them First we'll go to their cabin and get their scent It was nearing midnight when Slick Morgan and Krebs Headed their horses up the thickly wooded valley That led to the trading post Slick, I still think someone may be trailing us All right, all right, listen Where do we get up on that rise at the end of the valley? We get off our horses and take a little look-see There's plenty of moonlight If anyone's fallen on our trail Be sure to spot them from up there Get up, boy, come on A short time later, the two men were lying flat in the underbrush Looking down into the valley Their horses were tethered out of sight In a thick grove of trees Come on, we're wasting our time You can see for yourself no one's following us Wait a minute Someone's coming up the trail right now Look down there, just past that clump of cottonwoods Hey, you're right, it's a guy on horseback My thunder Looks like a molly to me What are we going to do? Hey, listen, if I remember right The trail takes a nice sharp turn Just before we get to the trading post One of us can go on and get the kid in the money The other one can stay behind And pick himself out a real nice hiding place Right by that turn in the trail What happens when that guy that's trailing us comes along? He gets a bullet right between the eyes Meanwhile, inside the trading post Marty Andrews had gotten out of bed He took his way softly to the back room where the safe stood First he unbarred the back door Then he let a candle and went over to the safe His fingers fumbled nervously with a dial In spite of his bold resolutions Marty had lost all taste for the job Somehow he couldn't still the voice of his conscience Worse yet, he couldn't help thinking of how Pop would feel When he discovered the crime in the morning Suddenly as the safe door swung open Marty! Pop! Now listen, I can explain Pop There's no need to explain anything Marty If you need that money in the safe Go ahead and take it What? I'm just sorry you didn't come to me first and ask for it Ask for it?  Oh yeah but No buts about it now If I'm gonna be your foster Pop We've gotta trust each other completely Who else would you go to with your problems? What up your hand? What's it? Say who are you? Sorry but I ain't got no time for formal introductions The kid knows who I am, don't you Marty? I'll say I do Slick What? A man alive you sure showed up at the right time No it's a matter The old man wake up and catch you in the air Yeah Down there scared me out of my wits Yeah I'll bet he did Well he won't make no trouble now that I'm here See you got the safe open Yeah There's more in it than I thought Beside the 5,000 there's a couple of pokes full of gold dust Hey now ain't that nice Guess maybe I'd better go over and take charge of that stuff right now Hey wait a minute What's the matter? Pop's a pretty tricky old guy If you're gonna clear out the safe here Better let me hold that gun on him Yeah I guess maybe you're right Here you take the gun Sure you know how to handle that thing kid Darn right I do Put up your hand What is this a joke? You'll find out if you don't get your hands up What's a big idea?   I mean he's gonna walk right into a trap My pal Krebs is waiting for him at the bend on the trail When Preston shows up Krebs will gun him down Did you hear that? That means Sergeant Preston is knocking on the pearly gates right now You will load down murdering That also means I'm gonna have to do away with you and the kid here So you can't squeal on us But first I'll clear out the safe Slick Morgan went over to the safe and reached one hand inside With his other hand he kept his gun trained on Pop and Marty First he extracted the bundle of bills Then he cropped around for the gold which Marty had mentioned Where those pokes of gold that you were talking about There are none I just said that to fool you Yeah, yeah and you fell for it You, the great Slick Morgan Muttonhead Morgan that's what they ought to call you You old god I'll fix you The back door was standing open As Slick rushed toward Pop Macintosh He didn't see the great dog that suddenly sprang in And from the doorway Where does he come from? I've got Morgan I'll drop it That's funny All right King you can let him up now boy How did you get by Krebs? I thought he'd taken care of you Yes I know you did Fortunately King warned me that someone was waiting around the bend in the trail What about that shot we heard? Krebs gun went off and King sprang at him Right now he's waiting outside handcuffed to the hitch rail You're both under arrest in the name of the queen Marty, looks like I'll have to put you under arrest again No, no you won't sergeant The boys had a change of heart Wait till I tell you Eagerly Pop explained how Marty had tried to prevent the crime which he had planned Marty that's the best news I've heard in a long time You'll have to stand trial along with Slick and Krebs But when the judge hears what you did I'm pretty sure he'll parole you back to Pop I think you've learned by now that crime doesn't pay You should have been a preacher Preston Slick, the last time I saw you you made a certain remark I told you I'd give you a chance to repeat it Maybe you'd like to do that right now You're mighty brave aren't you with that gun in your hand And that dog to back you up Pop, suppose you take care of both these guns for a few minutes What are you going to do sergeant I'm going to show Marty that Slick Morgan's not quite the man he's cracked up to be King, go on over in the corner and stay there Go on fella, over there in the corner Lie down Alright Morgan, suppose you'll repeat that remark You better repeat it Preston, you're yellow What a beauty Take him in to him sergeant Slick Morgan had a bull-like strength Which had given him mastery over many men But in sergeant Preston he found a different kind of opponent A man with skilled fists and lightning speed Time after time the sergeant stopped his rushes With a well-placed punch Until at last a smashing right Sent him scrolling on the floor unconscious Acting in sergeant you sure took care of him I'm a live sergeant I bet that's the last time he ever tries to get tough with a money Yes Marty, I think this case is closed In just a moment sergeant Preston will give you a preview of Friday's adventure Page after page after page of excitement mystery laughs thrills That's what Quakerpuff wheat and Quakerpuff rice will send you Actually 160 pages of Bugs Bunny comics Actually five different pocket-sized Bugs Bunny comic books All yours for only 15 cents And one box top from Quakerpuff wheat or rice The stories are all new just off the presses You've never seen or read them before Here are just a few Bugs Bunny finds at Ladin's Lamp Bugs Bunny joins the Marines Bugs Bunny meets the dwarf ghost Yes the more you read the more you want And we'll not only send you five different books We'll also send you full information on how easy it is to get ten more Look Doc, you better hurry Yes as Bugs Bunny says Don't wait till it's too late Send for yours today Send only 15 cents in coin, not stamps That's all just 15 cents and your name and address Send with one box top from a package of delicious, crisp, nourishing Quakerpuff wheat or Quakerpuff rice Address your letter to Bugs Bunny, Chicago 77, Illinois Write down that address right away Here it is Bugs Bunny, Chicago 77, Illinois Listen Friday when Sergeant Preston and Yukon King Meet the challenge of the Yukon in the case of The Last Will When King and I were in Caribou Creek We called an old Peter Bailey And learned that he'd sent for Terry Quinn A young man he'd not seen for a quarter of a century I didn't suspect that within a short time I would find Terry accused of attempting to kill old Pete Be sure to hear this exciting adventure Friday These radio dramas, a feature of the challenge of the Yukon Incorporated Are created and produced by George W.

One of the things that You get a benefit of when you live by yourself is the freedom of self-expression And all the men understand what I just said When you live with other people or you live like in your parents house, there is no freedom of self-expression You got to be mindful of everybody else or anybody else in that house Me and my wife have had the privilege of having people live with us for the past six years Constantly from one person to four sometimes up to five Sometimes I come into the house and it will feels like a hotel than a house. It's like who's here today? Oh, you're the new person. Okay, nice to meet you too And so we love when people visit, but it's a little bit better when they stay You get a chance to see their character and they get a chance to see yours and To really affect your character But one of the things that from an experience of having people live with us and we have people live with us now is That one of the things that you have to be mindful That the other person is in the house as a guy Because what we love as brothers is we love the ability to be comfortable and sometimes, you know walking around and Yeah, and and stuff and so and then When you have another person living in the house, you know, my wife always says hey You can't go there like this, you know, like it's my house. Yes, it's yours, but there's someone else here When you live by yourself, you can do whatever you want As a Christian you have to understand that you have someone living in you And whatever you do you got to be sensitive There's someone else Therefore you can't do what you would typically do if you wouldn't be a Christian Because he who lives in you is he who raised Christ from the dead and This spirit the spirit of the living God. He is called Holy Spirit. That means all the nakedness All the craziness we got to have a little check mark in our life because of the Holy Spirit that lives in us The Holy Spirit took residence in you as a Christian See God was always looking for habitation when Jesus came on this earth He was looking for a womb to be conceived in then he was looking for a place to be born in and Then he was looking for a place to be buried in and today the spirit of the living God is Looking for a place not just to visit on the weekends, but to inhabit during the weekdays To live in the Bible says you are the temple of the Holy Spirit It tells us that you are not just having the Holy Ghost as a guest You're not a restaurant where he comes to eat you're a house where he comes to stay And so the series that we are gonna start this month will be called host the Holy Ghost I encourage you if you got some other ghosts running in your house Get this thing long-sleeve t-shirt over there in the thing come in your house and say I got another ghost He lives inside of me. It is the Holy Ghost Every other ghost has to go Because the Holy Ghost lives inside of me. Come on somebody. Amen. Amen I had a person come to me after the first service of lad. I'm going to this particular meeting and has like a lot of weird stuff She's like I'm putting this on but the Holy Spirit will come in I prayed with her and I said hey man, I agree with you in Jesus name in Jesus name We will take a story from the Old Testament of book of Joshua chapter 6 in verse 25 and Joshua spared Rahab the harlot her father's household and all that she had So she dwells in Israel till this day because because I want you to see Why Rahab was spared Her father's house so not only her family, but her father's like the whole family tree and Everything she had all the money she acquired all of her investments all of her bank accounts All of her possessions was spared. So she was spared Her family tree was spared and her possessions was spared and the Bible gives us a secret and She dwells in the house of Israel because She hit the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho Your life can change Because of what you're hiding. What are you hiding right now? See Rahab was hiding something and because of that her family her finances her own life And now she lives in Israel and if you read the Bible We see that she becomes a great ancestor of the lineage of David and she's actually carrying a royal blood now Because Jesus came through Rahab's family. She was formerly a prostitute. Why did this great change happen? because she hid Something but if we go to chapter 7 which is the next chapter we see a contrast Someone who wasn't a prostitute someone who wasn't living in Jericho someone whose life wasn't being condemned to destruction A can actually was in line for promotion in line for destiny in line for promise But I wanted to see this but the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things For Aiken the son of Camry the son of Zabdi the son of Zara of the tribe of Judah took of the accursed things So the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel And if you read a little bit further you see that not only he took those things, but he hit it under his tent So we see two people who are playing hide Who are hiding things? One is a prostitute But because she's hiding spies her life is dramatically changed another one is a Soldier who has a facade that he's fighting for God But secretly he is hiding for bitten things and then we see it a little bit later in chapter 7 where his family was brought on a Peristole and he brought those hidden things, but it was too late and the whole family Including his livestock Including his possessions was stoned and the big heap of stones was made in the memory of his problem Not of his success, but of his problem Every person is hiding something and Within five years of your life what you're hiding right now Will drastically Change your health your finances and your reputation for example Practically if right now you're studying in the university Nobody sees that Nobody knows the fact that you don't spend evenings rewatching stranger things season two You're there like literally devouring that book in three four years You'll be driving a different car Because you'll be getting a different paycheck. You'll be having a different job Maybe you are today Secretly going to sleep because of what's going through you you're going to sleep Drinking yourself to sleep. Nobody sees that Tomorrow you're not only drinking at home. You're drinking with your buddies at the club within three to five years You will have a DUI You will have a problem with your job You will have a problem with every relationship you touch and if you have a girlfriend She will leave you and if you have a wife She will separate from you and your life will be devastated Because what you're hiding today can change you tomorrow and it will change your destiny in five years You know it's a personal testimony of mine too because when we came to the United States at the age of 13 My family immigrated here and when I was given the opportunity and the responsibility to begin to preach and all of this stuff One of the things that I started to separate myself from is that when other people would do other things I would try to wake up earlier at 5 5 30 and before going to a sophomore school sophomore in high school in Pasco High or Senior in Pasco High. I would spend an hour an hour and a half in prayer here. The crazy part is nobody saw that Nobody cared about that The only people who knew is few people who had the keys to the church and somebody that would come in and this happened years After years after years our ministry wasn't changing. I preached the same way. I preached at that time had a lot of passion But it wasn't meaning much When in about six or five years ago when the Lord started to open doors and and God started to bring I could see God's favor on my life and some people come and they say well, you know What's happening to you? But I always tell him this What you do in secret the father who lives in secret will always reward publicly Whether it's prayer or Drugs he will reward what's done in secret You determine what you want to show up in the public platter of your future But God says there is a law I live in secret. I live in private and I will reward publicly Come on somebody That's why we believe in fasting That's why we believe in praying. That's why we believe in giving because when we do in secret God sees in secret And he rewards us publicly If you want to change what's showing up publicly change what you're giving privately Change what God is seeing in private, you know when I was when we were in Ukraine. We had this Thing where relatives would come. It's not like now where you know people don't really kind of visit people's houses in Ukraine It was like an everyday thing and so my parents would tell us is I'm oldest of five and say Auntie so-and-so is coming with her kids clean up the house Because the house was very dirty because we were we were playing church deacons meetings We did communions in the house. We did a lot of stuff and it was messy And so mom would come and say 30 minutes. They're coming in 30 minutes clean up the house Why are you not cleaning the house and we kept messing around with the house and everything and then it was five minutes Clean the house now And so you have five minutes you don't have time to fold everything So what we did is we took everything that we saw and we shoved it under the couches We put all of it under the bed put it all the way behind the couch so the house looked so clean Because the guests would never look behind the couches and under the bed See when you come to church many times religion tells you clean up your life Get rid of the tattoos get rid of that get rid of that and the quick quick fixes usually Shows our inner world with all the problems where God actually lives You look presentable to the religious community, but in reality you're full of mess So the goal in our church is not so you have behavior modification But so do you have heart transformation because that is where God lives God lives behind the couch Whatever we throw stuff into the areas we ignore because nobody sees these are the areas where the Holy Spirit lives And God wants us to pay attention to those areas Because these are the areas he's going to use to reward us in public somebody say amen somebody say amen And so I want you to see that Rahab and Aiken there's a difference between them because Rahab she hid the spies Aiken hid the clothes Rahab she was saved Aiken was destroyed Rahab wanted to be like Israel She kept collecting stories about her god Aiken Wanted to be like Jericho There are people that sit in churches by the dream of nightclubs And there are people that are in nightclubs the dream of churches You will always be where you dream at Your butt might be sitting on that pew but if your heart is in the club It will drag you out of the church But there are some people who are here today because when they were strung out and doing the things Something inside of them says I want that I want that Amen Our message will have two points today The first point is a form of a question What are you hiding? What are you hiding for Aiken? He was hiding something that God says it doesn't belong to them I want you to know a few things about sin Before we talk about the holy spirit's presence in our life I want us to talk about sin In our life because many times sin it hinders the flow of the holy spirit Even david says he said he said who can ascend the hill of the lord Who can stand in your holy presence? He said he who has clean hands and pure heart and he who has not sworn unto iniquity Meaning if you really want God not just to visit you but to stay in you Your house got to be presentable. Have you been to places or visited some friends? Maybe who? Especially like college students or single people who don't really care about Maybe things looking good or smelling good and sometimes you walk in and remember visiting one person Long long long time ago like maybe 10 years ago and I walked in and there's like these piles of clothing Like food to the dogs and to the cats everywhere Dishes are not washed and you walk in and the stench is so and I was He came to church and we were hanging out and I visited his house and I was like my god But you know you politely is you know say what this is such a nice place The spirit like I feel freedom in this house.  You're made in the image and likeness of god.  Is how you live your life? Pleasant for the holy spirit to stay Or you're only comfortable with him visiting The problem with sin is that sin grows in the dark Sin is sneaky and secretive Even if you remember to when you were sinning not like yesterday But like you know like way before you came to church or you came to god One of the things that always each sin I had to do is they had to learn how to cover their tracks You know when you go to the store look for the cameras make sure nobody's watching You know you constantly constantly want to hide it Protect it so that nobody can see it. It started with adam when adam sinned He didn't come up and say hey god naked Eight to three smell tastes it really good, but god feel really bad about it No, the first thing there's that proclivity when you get sin you right away play tricks You right away hide you conceal you only show what could make you look good and the things that embarrass you You protect and you hide because that is the power of sin. It conceals you you want to conceal it But the problem is the sin grows in the dark In darkness is where devil operates Demons operate in the darkness and the holy spirit only walks in the light Lives in the light. Amen. I want you to notice the second thing about sin Is that your present or your recent victory is not god's approval on your life With achon see when he was hiding those things under his stand achon was actually feeling confident about his sin because they won a battle with jericho Deception of sin is this when you get promoted at your job you somehow think God is okay With the fact i'm not faithful at church I'm not faithful to my wife God is okay with the fact that i'm not spending time with his word I'm not giving him my time my finance god is okay. Why if he could lose my boss gave me a supervisor position God is okay. Why because look i got a bonus look things are still working out Things are still good. See your recent victory is not a proof god is on your side Because every mobster Every drug dealer every pimp Then is pleased with god Riches and wealth houses and prosperity a winning record is not a sign That god is on your side We always examine our success in the light of god's word We examine our life in the light of god's word We examine our heart in the light of god's word and let me just give you a little tip If you're sinning You will never continue on winning You might be winning right now But sooner or later sin is a killer Sin is a cancer every person who knows cancer. They know one thing I can still be working I can still be normal, but I have a killer in my body and sooner or later This thing is not going to be content of just staying in my body.  That's why you got to get rid of the cancer So you can keep on winning at life. Come on somebody Amen You know samson samson was still winning the battles samson was still ripping off the gates Ripping off the lines samson was still taking a jaw of a dry Jaw of a donkey and hitting people and winning and he felt invincible sleeping with the hookers Sleeping with the prostitutes living very immoral life eating from the things that he should have never been eating Touching the dead which was his nasolite vow not to do doing all of that stuff, but see When you are doing good, you let goddess go with me Look all of y'all praying fasting you're doing worse than me Rewards don't come speedily Nor is punishment And the reason why god doesn't reward right away is to test our patience And the reason why god doesn't allow punishment to fall right away To allow you to come to your senses and repent Before you get suspended before you end up in jail before you get separated before you lose your lysis Before you lose your marriage and before you lose your life This message is not to guilt trip anybody because the aiken in the bible is me The aiken is you we all have certain things that we like to keep it hidden We all have certain things we don't want nobody to find out We all have certain things that we hide sometimes from god even from ourselves And the message today is not to say oh if you have hiding things in your life God is going to punish you the message is this don't hide it deal with it Bring it up find a counselor find a group that you need to go find help find a book a podcast Find some kind of a thing that helps you to deal with whatever you are hiding Don't think time will fix it Don't punish yourself for what you've done or what you're hiding deal with it Ask Judas Judas will tell you punishing yourself for your bad things will never help you get better It will never help you get better if punishing you would have been the solution Jesus would never be punished for you. He would have let you have the punishment The only Jesus's punishment is what's going to fix our problem and our issue not our self-inflicted wounds Amen Amen the second thing that we see is Who are you hosting? Aiken was hiding sin And it was really bad for him but Rehab she was hosting the spies And I always like to say that two spies that she was hosting And these two spies let me give you the name for these two spies.  So the Holy Spirit comes by invitation of salvation And the reason why Holy Spirit comes because of salvation is because Unless you're saved meaning unless your sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ and unless you give your life to the Lord The Holy Spirit cannot live in you because the bible says our heart is dead Our spirit is dead and whenever it's dead.   Let's give the Lord a round of applause Amen Unless Jesus Christ is your savior the spirit has no resting place in your heart Number two is We host the Holy Ghost by surrendering When we surrender when we yield because see you can have the Holy Spirit in your life But not surrender to the Holy Spirit. Let me give you an example Each person in here has a flesh flesh is the devil part of you. They always wants to do bad That you don't have to teach it. It's like the child, you know always wants to do bad That the flesh is the devil's gift on your birthday. That's what flesh is Now how many of you know that you have the same flesh as Hitler? You have the same flesh as the al Qaeda and and all these terrorists same flesh What's the difference between you and them you don't yield to your flesh as they do And because you don't yield to your flesh you don't do stupid And because they yield to their flesh a hundred percent they do crazy stuff the same way is with the Holy Spirit All the Christians have the same Holy Spirit, but not all the Christians yield to the Holy Spirit the same Some Christians only yield to the Holy Spirit a little bit And some Christians yield to the Holy Spirit a little bit more Some Christians yield to the Holy Spirit like this and some they just surrender completely and say Lord not I But you the lives inside of me and then the Holy Ghost takes over Come on somebody it's either going to be flesh or the Holy Spirit if you think you're going to be in control of your life think again It's going to be either flesh or the Holy Spirit and the question is who do you surrender to One of the reasons we don't host and we don't surrender to the Holy Spirit guys Is this one one is condemnation A lot of times when we make a mistake in our Christian life We let condemnation drive us away from the Holy Spirit Condemnation is saying that i'm not good enough. I'm inconsistent. I start and I quit I can't focus my thoughts during prayer.  I can't stay in this scene.  Nor does god God's presence Is a priority Amen the second reason why many times we don't host the Holy Spirit is because of emotional immaturity Emotional immaturity especially for new believers Who will live by their passion who live by their emotion instead of their devotion to god And their marriages will fail like that and their job commitments fail because when they're excited for something They're committed to it and when they lose the excitement They don't know how to live on commitment the bible says walk in the Holy Spirit The bible doesn't say to live in a feeling of the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit is someone you can feel but there are days times months maybe even a year where you might not feel his presence That does not mean he's not there This week we had a time where the sun was covered with clouds for a few days But the sun did not pack its bags and disappear from our galaxy because the clouds came See just because your emotions are down and it's down for monday tuesday and wednesday And things are just not going so well It doesn't mean you canceled the appointment with the Holy Spirit and say well, he left me. He doesn't leave you Well, I don't feel like he's speaking to me. Have you noticed that during a test every time a teacher is silent It doesn't mean the teacher is gone. It's because you're taking a test She's still there. Holy Spirit is still there. Don't rely on your emotions Rely on the holy scriptures when you don't feel the Holy Spirit because he wrote the holy scriptures my god, my god When jesus went to the wilderness he quoted the scriptures He felt the spirit he saw the spirit come at the jordan But sometimes after those great experiences you hit a wilderness and the devils and the wild beasts are attacking you And you say where is god?  They're very bad employees if you marry to the emotional roller coaster Literally, it's very difficult. We all have emotions, but emotions shouldn't have us Amen number three What affects our fellowship with the Holy Spirit is business It's the Martha syndrome where you invite jesus, but you don't have time for jesus Martha syndrome is Is we don't have time we slept in I don't have time for the lord, but you know what I gotta go to the gym What if you tell the gym? I don't have time for you because i'm spending time with the lord I can't miss gym.  I gotta work on my arms and he says I know you do But he says you feel my presence linger a little bit longer And when you linger a little bit longer many times it's almost like you pray for those 30 minutes You pray for that hour and you just don't feel it But you gotta leave like at your seven or six or whatever the time you gotta leave that And then you spend a little bit longer and that's when actually god is there Samuel came when Saul left God chooses sometimes to come when you're about to pack bags and you say I'm done to another thing What if there's another thing can wait? I'm not saying to do that every day.  I believe this is one of the biggest things is because we are just really lazy Lazy we just say I don't feel like doing I don't want to do it That's just not me and all of the stuff and laziness is a disease And it needs to be conquered and it needs to be overcome.  It's just flesh and laziness And the devil uses that the demons use that so they can keep us away from the Holy Spirit Kick laziness in the curve give it an eviction note Kick it outside and simply say you're gonna freeze to death and I will burn with the fire of the Holy Ghost Can somebody say amen? Hallelujah, hallelujah Guys, we have morning prayers here Monday to Friday at five o'clock.  It's very real Right now we're gonna come to a time where we are going to ask the Lord to forgive us of any secrets in I ask you that you become honest with God right now that you become real Holy spirit can help you. He's not here to condemn you.  He's not here to pull out your dirty laundry and show it in front of the world But if you are not going to repent of your sin, the devil will take your secret sins and make it into a public scandal You don't want to have a scandal. We just want to have repentance I don't want to get caught I'd rather confess To the Lord and have the Lord bring healing restoration and deliverance. Amen.
