This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. So last week we talked about the framework for understanding the rights of the

spouses and this we've sort of been talking quite a bit or at least last

through Halakas have been about the rights as framed within a family setting.

So the parents, the children, spouses with each other.

And then it sort of becomes everybody else because it gets really complex after that,

whether you're talking about in-laws, uncles, aunts, step-brother, step-sisters, step-mothers, step-fathers, cousins, cousins, cousins, and then if you're Palestinian, cousins, cousins, cousins, and it's like

a hundred of them on each side and everyone's got a bunch of cousins and you have all of these

different people that get involved in the discussion of who is family and what does

that come with and what are the rights and responsibilities in regards to those broader extended

families.

So, as Mahamah, tonight actually turned out to be one of the most beautiful

halocas in preparation, at least I found it to be as such when I was looking through

the material and the content because it really shows how

Islam broadens that scope of mercy and compassion and love and I personally just

really enjoy the narrations in this regard.

I know that I told you guys that there probably wouldn't be class tonight.

I thought I would be out of town.

So, I'm still here, so I appreciate those of you that came out.

So we'll start in sha all that I and we'll try to frame this from different angles.

We're trying to look at this through different angles.

The Hadith will start with is a Hadith narrative by Ariam

of Abitla, but what did AllahiA-Lah al-A-Nho.
