Waleed Basyouni - Learning from our Children

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Waleed Basyouni invites us to flip the script on parenting by becoming students of our own children. Rather than only focusing on how to raise and teach children, he highlights the pure qualities Allah has placed in them — perseverance, goal-orientation, forgiveness, adaptability, joy, trust, and confidence — and challenges adults to rediscover and embody these traits. Drawing on Quranic stories, Hadith, and practical wisdom, he encourages the Muslim community to live with vision, embrace their mistakes as growth, learn to forgive deeply, smile more, and build stronger trust with one another.
