Yaser Birjas

Shaykh Yaser Birjas talks about the fifth ayah of Surah Al-Bayyinah. Which summarizes the whole message of Islam. He discusses what our purpose should be to fast and do other ibadaat in and out of the month of Ramadan.

A lot of people ask about "Birr Al Walidayn," in the context of what if my parents weren't that good to me? I hate my parents.... Do I still have to maintain good relations with them? What if they want to cut me off, and every time I talk with them they are harsh toward me?

When young men and women get married, one of the things they worry about is how their relationship will look like between them and their in-laws. How do you get along with your in-laws This tends to be among the top five reasons why people have issues in their marriages.

What is "silaturrahim?" Best way to describe it is: maintaining good relationships between your kith and kin. If there is drama between members of the family and extended family, to what extent do I maintain good relations with them? If they invite me, should I balance it by inviting them? What if there's potential for further negative drama between members?

Is it possible to raise a perfect child in this imperfect world? We know as parents we have a responsibility to make sure that our kids are safe and are raised in a positive and healthy family environment. But, how far do we go with that. What if my child doesn't listen to what I say? What if my child doesn't grow up to be the way I want them to be.

Is it possible to have siblings without rivalry? What's the Islamic ruling on it? Is it even halal or haram? Is it right or wrong? How should we treat this?
