Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. I begin in the name of Allah, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Maintainer, and the Protector of the entire universe and all that it contains, the most beneficent, the most merciful.
We send salutations on his messenger, the last and final of them. Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, his family, and all those who follow him in excellence until the last day.
Imagine this scene that happened over 2,000 years ago.
A young woman, known for her incredible piety.
Suddenly comes forth with a baby boy.
People are shocked and blame her and call her and chase.
She points to her son.
The people say, how can a newborn baby speak in his cradle?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
His creator and our creator tells us this story.
Fātat bihi qawmahā taḥmiluhu.
Qālu yā Mariamu laqad jī'ti shayyan fariyyā.
Yā uqtahārūna mā kāna abūki murā saw'in wa mā kānat ummuki baghiyyā.
Fāshārati ilayhi.
Qālu kayfa nukallimu man kāna fil-mahdi sabiyyā.
Qāla inni abdullāh.
Ātāni alkitāba wa ja'alani nabiyyā.
Wa ja'alani mubārakannayna mā kuntu wa usā.
Wa usāni bil-salāti wal-zakāti mā dumtu hayyā.
Wa barra biwalidati wa lam yaj'alni jabbaran shakiyyā.
Wa salāmu alayya yawma wulittu wa yawma mūtu wa yawma uba'athu hayyā.
Zālik.
Nisa bunu Maryam.
Qawla al-haqqil ladhi fīhi yamtarūn.
Mā kāna lil-lāhi ayyattakhitha min waladhin sub'āna.
Idhā qadāy amran fa-innamā yaqūl lahū kun fa-yakūn.
Fa-innā Allāhi.
Wa-rabbī wa-rabbūkum fa-abūduhu.
Hāzā sirātun mustaqīm.
In Surah Maryam, in the Qur'an, Allah says this which means,
Then she returned to her people carrying him.
They said in shock,
O Mary, you have certainly done a horrible thing.
O sister of Aaron, your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.
So she pointed to the baby.
They exclaimed, How can we talk to someone who is an infant in a cradle?
Jesus declared, Isa spoke as a baby in the cradle.
I am truly a servant of Allah.
He has destined me.
He has destined me to be given the scripture and to be a prophet.
He has made me a blessing wherever I go.
And bid me to establish prayer and give zakat, the alms tax, as long as I live.
And to be kind to my mother.
He has not made me arrogant or defiant.
Peace be upon me the day I was born.
The day I die and the day I will be raised.
The day I will be raised back to life.
That is Isa, son of Maryam.
Jesus, the son of Mary.
And this is the word of truth about which they dispute.
It is not for Allah, God Almighty, to take a son.
Glory be to him.
When he decrees a matter, he simply tells it be and it is.
Isa also declared,
Surely Allah,
Lord Almighty is my Lord and your Lord.
So worship him alone.
This is the straight path.
I submit to you that we confuse earning a living with living itself.
Life is not only about earning a living.
Life is about something much more important than earning a living or making money.
Life is about living with honor and about leaving a legacy to be remembered.
And that is the way of life.
That is the way of life.
So in the example of the skyAndres' photo.
¡ Boy,
this is eternal respect for you!
Life is not about competition, but about having an impact on the hearts of others.
Life is not about consumption, but about contribution.
Because power comes with territory and contribution defines territory.
I want to share with you three points that we must never lose focus on.
¡ For the love of humankind,
If we want to live a life,
where we will be influential while we live and be remembered long after we are
gone. The three points in one sentence stand for justice with compassion and
courage. Remember that all goodness begins with justice. Justice means that
you give everything it's due. To respect elders, to be kind to the young and the
weak, to stand against oppression, to help someone in need, to comfort someone in
grief, to walk the path that others don't want to are all signs that you are
focused on justice.
