Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah were early he

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

was off be a woman who Allah.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

Allah subhanaw taala says

00:00:13 --> 00:00:19

in the mirror to adorn Allah, toma and to be more cheesin. So the

00:00:19 --> 00:00:23

caller who owes him that which you are promised will surely come, and

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

He will not escape.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

His promises are true.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:35

And he has promised that at the end of this time of distraction,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

of grazing, of looking around of perplexity, there will be

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

certainty

00:00:43 --> 00:00:48

what our bond Rebecca had to occur earlier up in worship your Lord

00:00:48 --> 00:00:54

until that which is certain, or certainty comes to you. usual

00:00:54 --> 00:01:00

meaning of this is that it is death, that gateway which beckons

00:01:00 --> 00:01:06

all of us in number to our donor ads that which you are promised,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

is coming.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

Our instinct is of course to try and run away

00:01:14 --> 00:01:19

as if that was possible, as if we could avert the divine decree.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:27

The very word death we're fats in Arabic means fulfillments. Yet to

00:01:27 --> 00:01:33

ufer Come Malakal motility will kill or become the angel of death

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

which you have been entrusted to will bring you to the end of your

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

term.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:46

That is our agile and we are not marches in, we will not escape it

00:01:47 --> 00:01:52

all in moto Lita federal Runa Minho for inner home hola pecan.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

So matura Dona Illa Allah Milk Baby washer heard that he fell you

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

in a bo comb, be Americans on Tama don't

00:02:00 --> 00:02:06

say truly the death which you are running away from, will come to

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

you. And then you will be sent back to the one who knows that

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

which was visible in you and that which was invisible and will tell

00:02:13 --> 00:02:20

you what you used to do. This is inescapable. Death and taxes. But

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

some people do evade taxation. But even the super rich, don't evade

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

death.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:33

Look at Maxwell, look at Epstein. Look at so many others titans in

00:02:33 --> 00:02:39

their age, all laid low. This is the Sunnah of Allah in His

00:02:39 --> 00:02:45

creation, that everybody has his agile, even the NBN the prophets

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

are the most beloved of creatures, they shall taste the bitterness of

00:02:50 --> 00:02:55

death and shall go through that mysterious portal at exactly the

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

moment that the Lord decrease.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

So in this time, we can either engage in war gathering,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:10

collecting stuff, like so many other people nowadays who read

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

books like 100 things to do before you die as if that was somehow

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

going to help you at the time you do die. Have you done BASE

00:03:19 --> 00:03:24

jumping? Have you climbed El Capitan? Have you traveled to New

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

Zealand and Tahiti? Have you have you have usually expensive

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

environmentally destructive things that are just goggling at a world

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

whose source we no longer even dimly Intuit

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

Why do those 100 things before you die if you're not going to take

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

them with you, but still we run around

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

this way and that

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

so it is like

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

the poet said

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

that also new to true Byron Bay bombing all in a car by harsil

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

EBITA V. Debbie NaVi Donner off T

00:04:03 --> 00:04:09

the PERT here compares human souls coming down onto the world like

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

raindrops falling on the clay roof of a traditional house

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

to her so EP Davide you run around in every direction like these

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

raindrops busily bouncing and cascading this way and that until

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

you all go out through the same drain

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

we know we don't have tea that's where we will all exit

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

the same gutter will claim us all

00:04:36 --> 00:04:41

how much pass to other ng golf to a go yeah Hema hosp guitar pen oh

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

he turn on your ribbon rough t

00:04:45 --> 00:04:50

be silent friend from the pain of speaking, say no more because you

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

are traveling into the embrace of the beloved host.

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

But that's how we are we come down into the surface

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

to this world and how busy we are running this way and that,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:09

but the end is coming in number to our donor.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

So in this time while we're on this mysterious surface of things,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

trying to work things out, we usually don't do that at all.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

Well, even if we bother to try,

00:05:21 --> 00:05:26

we can think about where we're going. Or we can be distracted by

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

where we are. Most human beings choose the latter of those two

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

because we're gravitational beings that like the easy route always.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

The path of least resistance is sweet and charming.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

But the Holy Prophet says sallallahu alayhi wa salam, O ke

00:05:44 --> 00:05:49

Salman den and if so who were Amina Lima Abaddon, molt. Well IG

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

Zalman expert inf Sahuaro. However, habite Ananda Allah not.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

The intelligent person is the one who calls himself to account and

00:05:57 --> 00:06:03

act for what is after death. The loser, the useless person is the

00:06:03 --> 00:06:08

one who allows his ego to follow its pleasures, but just hopes for

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

Allah's forgiveness to mean that

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

there's two kinds of hope, Arabic, there's Rajat, and there's too

00:06:16 --> 00:06:22

many Rajat is the hope that we experienced when Allah describes

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

his mercy to us, and tells us about the infinitude of his

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

gardens, and about the beauty which awaits us if we are to

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

experience that grace and forgiveness from our Creator. How

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

could we not hope for that.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

But at the same time, there is another human hope, perhaps more

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

common with the Arabic language called Timoney, which means a vain

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

hope. I'm going to do X, but I hope that y will be the result.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

I'm going to do this and hope against hope. It may be hopeless.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

I'm going to just buy a scratch card and do the lottery and take

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

these risks and I hope it will be alright. I'm going to drive down

00:07:03 --> 00:07:07

the M 11. At 110 miles an hour and I hope that things will be

00:07:07 --> 00:07:12

alright. This is reprehensible hope. This is too many. This is an

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

abuse of human reason and of dependence on the Creator. To what

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

called reliance on God doesn't mean you just sit back as if

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

religion was some armchair of promises, and just let things take

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

their course.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:32

Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells his Sahaba Helman

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

Bhushan, Miran, Lil Jana, Allah in the agenda Tila Katara Allah is

00:07:37 --> 00:07:42

there anyone here who will roll up his sleeves for Paradise? Paradise

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

has no like

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

the blue ocean maroon Aloha era solo na they say we're the ones

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52

who will roll up their sleeves for it you're Rasulullah you roll up

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

your sleeves when you're about to do a job of work when you're about

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

to sweat to make an effort to sacrifice not just sit around,

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

watching something meaningless but actually the garden of the garden

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

shed pick up your tools and fix something. Do something with your

00:08:05 --> 00:08:10

afternoon. Don't just to Munna Allah, Allah hope that Allah will

00:08:10 --> 00:08:15

sort it out. No human agency is real. We experience it as real, we

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

are required to act.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:23

And this is why the believer does not fear death. Not really

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

whatever a state the world may be in at present. The Holy Prophet

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

says sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the extraordinary Hadith

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

narrated by Timothy to fettle, Mothman and molt.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:41

Death is the precious gift to the believer, if he's really a

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

believer, and he's rolled up his sleeves, and he's actually got on

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

with making something of every moment of his life, while not

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

thinking that his actions will save him only Allah saves, but at

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

least he is responding and obeying the divine call putting himself in

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

the way of that grace, even if he can't guarantee it. He's putting

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

himself in the way of the rain even though he can't make it for

00:09:03 --> 00:09:07

that individual. When death comes, it's a gift.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

Look at the two who were in the cave

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

30 If none is Hummer fuel are

00:09:19 --> 00:09:24

the second of the 2/30 name they were in the cave in Abu Bakr

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

Siddiq radula one was afraid that Night of the Long Knives the

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

Quraysh the posse they were out to kill him.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

But he says to his companion Loretta Zahn in the llama Anna, do

00:09:37 --> 00:09:42

not be grieved. Allah is with us are facing death.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

Nobody around to support them. Say the suits Samia and others coming

00:09:49 --> 00:09:54

by night. But the situation look bleak. Islam in Makkah seem to

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

have been defeated. Some of the Sahaba had already lost their

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

lives and the others chased out

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

INTO A FAR and seemingly hopeless exile

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

that he is with his friend.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

And in the poem

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

Scheffel Islam, Abdullah Quilliam writes about this.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

That he has the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:10:16 --> 00:10:23

consoling Abu Bakr Siddiq, saying, will he we live, no mortal power

00:10:23 --> 00:10:29

can take our lives away, will he we die to him we pass, no need to

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

feel dismay.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

And this is the law toxin. Do not be grieved.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

If you live and you survive, there is more opportunity for

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

experiencing the wonders of God's world which is all his science,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

opportunities to serve him to serve humanity. It's higher, it's

00:10:47 --> 00:10:47

good.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

If your Agile has been determined for this time, that is also from

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

the Divine decree that it is also to be accepted.

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

To him we pass no need to feel dismay.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:06

Turn on your him rave on or off T you're going on to the embrace of

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

that beloved friend.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:10

What's wrong with that?

00:11:12 --> 00:11:18

So the believer to the extent that he has Iman, the Mothman is not

00:11:18 --> 00:11:23

really afraid. La homophone Allah him, Willa homie arsenal. There is

00:11:23 --> 00:11:28

no fear upon them, neither do they grieve. He accepts a quarter

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

Holloway he will murrihy the divine decree the bitter and the

00:11:32 --> 00:11:38

sweet of it, because he knows that it comes from his beloved from his

00:11:38 --> 00:11:43

Lord, the one who's disposition of all things is always in a state of

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

complete perfection. And this is radar, on the radar, which means

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

to be contented with Allah's decree is a state of happiness,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

not a fear or misery. If you accept that only Allah's decree

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

can come about, you'll be fine.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:03

Man Amma Nabil Kadar, Amina minnow Kadar, whoever believes in Kadar

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

Allah's decree of things, he is safe from stress from any kind of

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

inner turbulence, because he knows that everything is under control.

00:12:12 --> 00:12:16

What Ilahi does zero or more, all matters go back to Allah.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

So the believer fears, his bad actions, fears his times of

00:12:22 --> 00:12:27

distraction, fears that his Tober may not be adequate. But the

00:12:27 --> 00:12:31

believer hopes in his Lord, he has the Rajat and his Lord has said

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

that he is ultimate Rafa mean, the Most Merciful of the Merciful. So

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

those who in the month of Ramadan ended the season and in this time,

00:12:40 --> 00:12:45

pass on through the curtain of death, Allah subhanaw taala has

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

described himself as the most just and as the most merciful, Shaolin

00:12:50 --> 00:12:55

Jaromir rebounder of tea, who would not wish to go on to the

00:12:55 --> 00:12:59

most generous and the most just and away from the injustices and

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

the suffering, the pain and the turbulence and the khadar of this

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

world. So this is the affair of the believer, Anja badly Helen

00:13:08 --> 00:13:14

Bachman amazing is the state of the believer. And the believers

00:13:14 --> 00:13:20

that Alia la hoffen Ali him will love him yes or no. No fear comes

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

upon them neither do they grieve. Not fear the future that's in

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

Allah's hands and therefore, the future is good. Rama ardella,

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

correctness, appropriateness, rightness

00:13:32 --> 00:13:38

and the past, also in his hands, and it can't be fixed. What's

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

gone, is gone. And we look forward, not to the outcome of our

00:13:42 --> 00:13:47

actions which muddy inadequate distracted things, but onto the

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

one who has called himself or her murder, I mean, a criminal

00:13:51 --> 00:13:56

acromion rabbit alanine, say May Allah subhanaw taala have mercy on

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

all of those who are taken back to him in this blessed month of

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

Ramadan, and accept all of their actions according to their best

00:14:03 --> 00:14:08

intentions, and overlook everything that they did. That was

00:14:08 --> 00:14:12

in violation of his command and his law and help us to be people

00:14:12 --> 00:14:18

of sunnah and is to karma and rightness in sha Allah, in this

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

time of distraction and of confusion and fear. Baraka lofi

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

come Wolof women come to Kabbalah Hosea Macomb, where, Sid, if Tara

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
