			Sula. hufa defassa 1000 Avi ma am bad
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:18
			hamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala has brought us here many of you maybe have have seen me before,
and probably most of you have not. And maybe you will probably when you saw me, you might have said,
are we in the right room are we learned Taekwondo or Islam or we here somewhere, but hamdulillah
Allah subhanho wa Taala has
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26
			guided us given us the greatest, the greatest blessing, which is,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:38
			which is the blessing of Islam. And there are many blessings in which Allah Subhana Allah has given
to us and all these blessings, you have to understand our tourists from Allah subhanho wa Taala,
which
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:53
			obligates us to be thankful and grateful. So in order for us to be thankful and grateful, we have to
use these blessings to please Allah subhanho wa Taala to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala. And, of
course, amongst
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:01
			the greatest blessing that last behind has given to us, he's given us Islam, and he's given us also
life.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:46
			And the life that Allah Subhana has given to us this life in this world, it's a great blessing. And
it's a responsibility that Allah Subhana has given to us. And but it is not eternal, and it will
end. And it is very short in comparison to the hereafter. When you compare anything to the
Hereafter, it equals nothing for those who, for those who have studied mathematics arithmetics It's
very simple. When you compare anything to eternity, no matter how large that number is, it's zero.
You cannot compare anything to eternity.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:03:34
			Anything No matter if it's 1,000,002 million, 3 million years. It doesn't matter how long that is.
Anything compared to eternity is zero. And that's why the true life is a life in the hereafter. But
yet this life is very important because it will determine the type of life you have in the
hereafter. The True Life is a true life in the hereafter. And when we hear when we read the Quran,
Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks to us and tells us what the what the disbelievers and the sinners
will say. And how they are going to be regretful and they will say yeah, Litani got down to Lehigh.
It was to me, Well to me, if only I had brought forth for my life. And that's why the true life is
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:28
			the life in the hereafter. So we have to take advantage of this life to in order for us to enjoy and
have the blessings of eternal life and eternal happiness in the paradise of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and that's why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw companions howdy from Javid
Abdullah and he was admonishing him and warning him and teaching him. He said if then him Hanson
kubla hunts take advantage of five, five things before five things come, Shabaab, kapa haka, make
your youth before old age and then he said was the high tech model that publish academic and your
health before you become sick? Well, the NACA are correct, and your wealth before you become poor.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:45
			And he said, Hi Attica problematic and your life, before death comes and before you die. And so this
life, the true life, of course, is a life in the Hereafter, but this life is the life in which you
would in which
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:59
			if you are to, please a loss of behind I in this life, then you have the eternal happiness in the
hereafter. And you have to be first of all, be thankful that Allah Subhana has given you life
because first of all, none of us
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:33
			chose to be here. It wasn't our choice. And none of us ourselves, we did not. When we were born, we
did not choose our parents. We did not choose where we were born, or where or how, or what place we
were born. And so this is something that to begin with, we have to be thankful for because at the
beginning, we were nothing as Allah subhana wa says back then I was below him in a shaytani r Rajim
halakhah.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			In Santa Mina
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			Mina de haut de la Mia. Shai
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:37
			Kumara. Did, did did not, did not come to people with the done at the time did not the time come
when? When before I mean, before you were nothing at all, you weren't even anything mentioned. In
others you are nothing that when Allah subhanho wa Taala, gave you life. And when Allah Subhana
Allah gave us this life, he this life is a test for us. Allah subhanho wa Taala has given this life
as a test for us, life and death has been a loss of higher created life and death, in order to see
which amongst us are best indeed to test this, who amongst us is best in deeds. And so Allah
subhanho wa Taala also made death and unknown, something that's unknown. Nobody knows when they will
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			die.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:07:28
			And so when you're living in this life, you have to prepare for that all the time. The Messenger of
Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said Heidi couldn't fit dounia can never Kanika de Bono IV to
Seville DNS life, as if you are a stranger, or a wayfair DNS life as if you're a stranger or
wayfair. reflect and think about this Howdy. What is the profit some a lot. So I'm trying to tell us
think about yourself, when you're a stranger in a foreign land, when you have something to do, and
you just want to finish your job, and then go back home. When you're away. How do you feel, where's
your heart, where's your mind, your mind is with your your family, your spouse, your children, your
		
00:07:28 --> 00:08:16
			friends, the place where you grew up, you just want to finish your business and go back home
quickly. So you're always thinking about them and you miss them. And that's how a traveler is also i
bureau Sybil, also a traveler, and somebody who just you know wayfair. And you can also say, a
person, if a person is crossing the street, for example. If If you want to get to the other side,
you start from the side where you're at. And your objective is the other side. That's where you want
to go. It would be foolish for somebody to intend to cry, they knew that they had to go and get to
the other side. But to build the house in the middle, in the middle of the street, what would happen
		
00:08:16 --> 00:09:02
			if you just stood there and you know what, I'm going to build something in the middle of the street
right here, middle of the motorway. What would happen, all these cars would come they would run over
they would call the foolish call You foolish. You want to get to the side get to the other side. And
so in this life, we are all travelers and eventually it will end but the time that Allah subhanho wa
Taala has given to us is very very important. Because they will determined our end and when Allah
Subhana Allah gave us this life and let him no matter what the Allahu anhu he said either um sight
of Allah tentera Saba, when you when you live in the afternoon, in the afternoon or the evening,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:10
			then don't wait. Don't think when you before you go to sleep, don't think you're going to live to
the morning. And when you
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:57
			when you wake up in the morning, don't think you're going to live into the afternoon, you should
have you should always be thinking about the life in the hereafter. So you would always be prepared,
you will always be prepared for that. And take advantage of the time that Allah Subhana Allah has
given to us and every one of us as travelers, we if we want to do something in this life, we want to
do something in this life. We should always be thinking about whether that particular thing is
pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala or not, because the loss of a hammer put us on this earth for a
reason. And we have to know that that purpose, everything in this world, when you look around in
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			this world, everywhere that you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:09
			Look, you will see objects, every object that you see has an objective. You look at a chair and you
say, what is the chair for?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:25
			And you can say it's for sitting. When you're tired, you sit down and rest. Well, what is a car for
a car so that you can get in and they'll bring you from place to place? Well, what's this spoon for?
It's so you can eat. But what are you for?
		
00:10:27 --> 00:11:16
			What are you for? There's a reason why you're here. And that reason is to worship Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us and sort of to that yet, well, my head up to
general insert, allele, Abu Dune, I have not created the jinn and mankind except for my worship. So
the purpose for our creation is to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala. So all the time that we have, we
should be worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala. And worshiping Allah isn't just prayer and fasting
and, and Zakat and so forth. worshiping Allah is doing all that you can to please Allah and staying
away from all that which displeases Allah. So if I am going to, if I'm going to be nice to my
		
00:11:16 --> 00:12:01
			parents, help out my parents, that is pleasing to Allah, and thus that is considered worship, if I
am. If I fear Allah, that is something that pleases Allah. So that is something that's considered
worship, if I hope in Allah, that is also pleasing to Allah. So that's considered worship. If I'm
going out to work, to take care of my family and fulfill this obligation and responsibility that is
on my shoulders, then this is considered pleasing to Allah, and so everything in so it's considered
worship in itself. That's because you if you have that intention, it will be considered worship. And
so everything that you do, when you want to do something, ask yourself, Is it pleasing to Allah or
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			not? Because
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:13
			when, if you are doing things that are pleasing to Allah all the time, then you don't worry You do
not worry when death will come.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:35
			Because whenever death comes, you know that you're you're in a state in which Allah subhanho wa
Taala is pleased with you. And so when death comes, if you're always trying to do every single step
that you take, you ask yourself, Is this pleasing to Allah? If it is, then you go forward? If it is
not, you take a step back.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:48
			But if you and thus if you are doing that, doing that which pleases Allah subhanho wa Taala, then it
really doesn't matter when when you know when death comes to you.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			And you have to understand that when death comes,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:22
			people will regret the time that they waste. And that's why I lost my handle it says in Surah Surah
munaf a boon unfuckable merasakan Alka min public at a hydrocarbon mode and spend from that which we
have given you in terms of provisions before death comes to one of you. So when death comes, what
happens? What is it that you want, when death comes?
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:31
			when death comes? The Angel of Death has taken the soul that everybody wants to return back?
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:56
			wants to return to this life? Why? So that you can say your final farewells to your parents so that
you can take that last vacation so that you can buy your dream car? No, they will want to come back.
Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us for your school and he will say Rob biloela Horton Isla ajilon
Karim. Oh my Lord.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:13
			Bring me back just a short amount of time. And what do they want to do for us sadaqa akumina Salin
so that I can give so that I can spend in your way your sake, and become amongst those who are
righteous.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:27
			And that's that's what the people who have passed away want. And the people who have died, those
people in the grave, they want to come back, they want to come back, because they have seen
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:55
			the value of a buy that the value of prayer. They know the true value of all of these things that we
ourselves don't know the true value of and they have seen it and so that's and so when it does come,
that person will want to return to this world and he will want to return to this world to just pray
to rock as
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			just pray to rockers but he will not be able to
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:31
			The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed by a grave. And he said, Men, sub men saw
Hebrew had the other. He said, Who is the person that's in this grave. And so they said, such and
such person. And so the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said rakatan Habu, Ella had
them in baqia to dunya comb. He said, just to rock as is more beloved to this person, than
everything in your world, in this worldly life.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			Everything are the cars,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:55
			or the houses, next to the beach, the beachfront houses, the luxury cars, all the money in the
world, all the gold and silver, silver and jewelry, it is nothing to him, he would prefer to pray
just to rock in place of that.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:07
			Give me time to pray to dark *, and he doesn't want anything else, just that. But you know what,
everyone in the grave right now.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			Everybody in the grave right now.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:17
			They would give everything and anything that they have, if they could,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:32
			to just come back a few moments to worship Allah, just a few moments, but you know what, everything
that they want. We have right now.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:39
			All the millions and millions of people that are passed away
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:46
			and buried under the earth, now, every one of them, they want to come back.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			They want to be in every single one of our shoes.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:04
			So that they can say Subhana Allah will hamdulillah and stand up to pray, to rock as are worth more
than anything. But death has already come to them.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:18:02
			And it's too late. But you know with us, it's not too late. With us, it's not too late. And the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam said, and I tan Javi photron just to light Raka mimaki Runa for
amongst the rock, that you belittle, you think that this is just too dark as to lie. And guess what
enough alone Wait a minute, the things that you do extra. And this D these deeds, the Messenger of
Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in Moses de la him indicated on yakko it's more beloved to
him just to light rockers more Beloved, than the, the the people in the grave than everything that
you have. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us this opportunity. And we know there is not a
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			single person
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			on the face of this earth, that will say he can live forever.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			Everyone knows that death will come it's the certainty. There's no cure for death.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			There's no cure for death, and they will not be a cure for death.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			They will not be a cure for death.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:41
			Some of these people they're thinking, they're putting their you know, some of them they you read in
the news, right? A person passes away, and they freeze their whole body, you know, for many years,
hoping that maybe maybe, in the future, somebody will find a cure for death.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:19:07
			But you know, there will not be a cure for death. There has there is no cure for death, and there
will not be a cure for death. And so everybody knows that death will come. But the thing is, we
don't know when death will come. Death does not come to only the people who are sick. Sometimes
you're healthy and it comes. Death does not care if you have to take care of your family.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:29
			You can say when the age of death comes, well, who is going to take care of my family? He doesn't
the death angel of death when he's ordered to take your soul he's not gonna say Oh, you got family I
got let me go back and check out and see if we can get we can, we can retract that this decree and
death does not care if you're graduating next year.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:48
			Death does not care if you still have payments to make. Death does not care if you still have to
take care of your mother. Death does not care if you haven't gotten married yet. And death does not
care if you didn't make highs yet. And death does not care if you didn't say goodbye to your father
yet.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:20:00
			When it comes, it comes and you don't know when it comes. And that's why at any moment in time when
you are living in this world. You
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			You have to prepare for it.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:16
			Because when it comes, it's too late, you will want to come back to do the two darqueze that you
should have been doing. But you will not be able to, you will want to come back. They will all of
them want to come back.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			When it when death comes,
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			what will they say?
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:42
			The people, when it cut when death comes to them, they will want to come back so that only our
mother Sally and FEMA attacked so that I can do good deeds in the time that has already passed. And
when death comes, death isn't something that's easy, neither.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:21:32
			It's something that's difficult, it's hard. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu aosom when, in the
in the final moments of his life, he used to wipe his forehead and put water and he would say la
ilaha illa la nll Mattila saccharides La Ilaha Illa indeed, death has its throws, that has its
pains, and this is the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so every single day that
you waste your time that you waste your time, it will not come back. And the P even the people of
Ghana, they were never regretful. The only time the only thing that they will be regretful about is
the time that they did not spend in the worship of Allah in this life. They weren't they they're
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:36
			thinking, if only they could have increased in the time that they're there.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:43
			And of course, the people of the Hellfire and the people with the grave. So all of the people
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:50
			in the future, they will want to be and those right now in the grave. They want to be in our shoes.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:56
			They don't need they, if they could talk to you right now.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:04
			If they could talk to us right now, then we will see. And you know, during the time of the prophet
SAW during the time
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			of Bani Israel, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam told us of a hadith.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:14
			He said to people, a group of three people, they walk by a grave.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			And they said,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			Oh Allah,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			if only you can bring this person back. So that we can ask him how death is.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			You know how death feels what it feels like. And you know,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			Subhan, Allah, Allah Subhana, Allah made it happen.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:42
			A guy just popped out of his grave, came out of his grave. I think if I saw something like that it
might be running away. But
		
00:22:44 --> 00:23:00
			guy just comes out of his grave, but they just made this door. And so the guy comes out his grave.
So purse, the person that came out, had a thought. So God had signs of sujood on his forehead, which
means what type of person is this? This is a righteous person.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:24
			This is a righteous person, he has the authority to do designs, the other the marks, because of his
soldiers that he used to make in this life. And so he comes up and the people are asking them these
starfish. Why is he up again, and alive now? And so they tell them that they just made do I see how
death was? And so he said, let me tell you.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:24:17
			I've been in the grave for about 100 years, 100 years, and just now, just now. The heat of that
grave has just lesson for me. This is somebody who's pious over 100 years. So for us, next time, if
you have the opportunity, go and visit the graves. Don't go and visit the graves and make the wharf
and things like that now, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah, Allah iniquity, and I
hate to come and the Nzr otaku, indeed I used to forbid you from visiting the grave. Why did the
process of Salah visit prohibited them? Because he, he wanted them to be strong, they are here to be
firm first, so that they wouldn't be in the graves, doing things that are wrong, asking the people
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:37
			in the grave and so forth. So he said before I used to forbid you, but now go for a zoo Ha. Fair
enough to the kilchoman era because it reminds you of the hereafter. So visit, make time to visit
the grave. Because you're going to be that person in there.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:25:00
			Do you wanna, everyone will be there eventually, and visit the people who are sick. So you'll know
the blessings of health. Visit the people who have less than you and help them out so that you can
be appreciative of the Namah the blessing that you have any
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			Make use of the time. I'm delighted to mess around he said, he said I had never regretted anything.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:14
			Except for on the day. My regrets came upon me
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:38
			if a day went by the sunset, and I knew that my life had decrease a few days, a few by a day, and I
didn't increase in my good deeds. And so you have to before you go to sleep, make sure you reflect
on what you did. Were you better today than you were yesterday?
		
00:25:39 --> 00:26:01
			And are you going to be better tomorrow than you are today? reflect on those things, and hold
yourself accountable because Allah will hold yourself hold you accountable. Because the Messenger of
Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said another Hadith, which is I think, authentic. He said, Let
azula Padma abdon, Yeoman Tiana had to use an armada.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			He said,
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:14
			this servant will be standing, and he will not move from his place until he's asked about four
things.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:34
			And only he FEMA afnor. Will Anisha babbie he FEMA Abla. The prophets have said about his age. How
did he spend his time in this life? every single moment while you're alive? A lot will ask you about
it.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:27:04
			A lot will ask you about it every single day, every single moment. And specifically the age in which
you're young. When you're still young. There's another question about that age. Because that's
that's the very important time. That's when you can do all of those things. That's when you have the
Shahadat the desires and so forth. But you can you also have the energy to do all the good that you
can. That's when you're strongest. How did you take advantage of that now? Am I that blessing?
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:53
			Because it's more important when you're young. Because when you're old when you're old? I mean it's
you can do anything anyways. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said three
people there are three people. Allah Allah you can Lima whom Allah who Yeoman qiyamah well I use a
key him while Omar daban only three people alone will not purify them alone will not speak to them
will not purify them and they will have a grievous punishment. Mannequin CAD method Malecon get that
Oh c'mon Casa La la la awesome. A king who's a liar. When you're a leader and you're the king,
you're the ruler, you have no reason to lie. Nobody is going to punish you when you tell the truth.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:34
			You don't have reasons to lie because you have authority. You tell the truth. You have to tell the
truth. You know other people. If they say certain things, they might get punished for saying the
truth. But who's gonna punish you? You have all the authority you have no reason to lie. And that's
why the sin is even greater. Well, Sharon's, an old man who commits Zina who commits fornication or
adultery. He's old, man, he doesn't have the desires like the youth. Why are you going around with
woman like that? Man, that's hubbs that's evil. That's just nasty.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:44
			You all you gotta be in the mustard. You can't be hanging around looking for a woman. And that's why
the sin is just greater.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:29:12
			And then I don't mistake a poor person who is arrogant. I mean, if you're rich and you're arrogant
driving around your Hummer, like you know that's a different thing right? You got money, but you
poor and you think you everything. You like those guys they got no they hardly have anything. I
mean, they can't some of them they don't even have pants that fit them they're walking around like
sagging like that in the streets thinking they're everything.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:26
			is poor guy what you doing? been thinking you everything? Man, you driving a Hummer? All right,
yeah. You got nothing. Why do you think you own the world? You crossing the street, don't care about
anybody thinking that you own it.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:30:00
			I don't mistake that you pour You arrogant. And Allah when I speak to you on the day of judgment
will not purify you, and you have a grievous punishment. Because you have no reason to do that. And
so that's why when you as a youth when you're alive and you're full of energy, full of strength, and
you push all those desires aside, and c'est la ilaha illa Allah and worship Allah. Use your time
wisely. When you can use it in other things also. That's why the blessing
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:27
			Sing is also great, and the reward is also great. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, there will be seven people who will be under the shade of Allah on the day in which
there will be no shade except the shade of Allah. And he said shabu, Nasha Tila, a youth who uses
his time wisely in the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Because he's, he's full of energy and
full of strength. And he uses that wisely.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:31:04
			And so as Muslims, the life that we have been given, we have to make full use of it. And we have to
ask Allah Subhana Allah to give us long life. We should, but don't just ask Allah, Allah, Allah.
Give me allow me to live over 100 years of age. And don't ask for that only don't ask for that and
stop there. No. You know, our chef chef, Chef Allah Samia Rahim Allah, He, some of the people with
the right questions and they would ask questions would ask, they would ask questions. May Allah
prolong your life give you a long life. He would be very angry.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:22
			He would be very angry. Who said Who did this? Who know you don't ask like this. He said, ask Allah
to prolong a person's life in the obedience of Allah. Because if you have a long life, and it's in
the disobedience of Allah, it's no good.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:32:05
			It's no good. The time that you have, you have to use it in the obedience of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And that's why the Prophet Solomon asked, Who are the best of people, the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Those who have given long life in the obedience of Allah, and who
are the worst, those who have been given long life in the disobedience of Allah subhana wa Tada. And
so, when a person is living in this life, everybody makes mistakes, everyone makes mistakes. But we
have to return to Allah, and repent to Allah subhanho wa Taala when we do, and this life, when we're
living in this life, Allah subhanho wa Taala will also
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:20
			look at how we live, but the most important time in our life. What is the most important time in our
life, the most important time in our life is the end.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:26
			The end, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			in the house,
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			indeed,
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:37
			deeds are determined by the end, determined by the end, and the Prophet sallallahu.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			ala Muhammad Ali, a person will be raised up
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:59
			in the condition that he died. So the end of your life is very important. The most important time is
when you're when, when you can say la ilaha la at the end. But the problem with that is, we don't
know when that end is.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			It can come just like that
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			you can go out. And next thing you know,
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			a person is, you know, you don't return. You know, one of
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:19
			when one of the brothers, he was actually taking another course, on the way back home
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:53
			on the way back home, just the cousin of his cousin of his he was just playing around with him, or
relative as he was playing around with him. And he, he had just come down to come home from you
know, dislike how we're sitting right now. And then he went home. So one of his cousins, you know,
he's driving and he's trying to play a you know, joke joke with him. So he's going directly towards
him. And he's intending to swerve before he gets close to him. But guess what happened. When he
swerved to the to the one direction, his cousin jumped in that direction.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:59
			And he was hit, and he hit his head hit the ground. And that was it.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			He was just barely out of secondary school.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:17
			He had just come. But that was the end. Anytime it can come at any time. And so you have to realize
that you have to try to do your best to
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:30
			make sure you're always in a state in which Allah is pleased with you. Because you don't know when
death will come. You know, my father, my father, he was he was shot in front of the mustard.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34
			He was shot in front of the masjid. And
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:59
			it was after, after a short prayer. He used to always clean the mustard. You know the the bathrooms
and so forth. People didn't didn't didn't really know who actually clean while in the bathrooms were
clean until after he passed away. Then the bathroom started to smell because nobody really took care
of that and he he
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:34
			He always he never cleaned the bathroom or anything like that when people were there. He would
before he would go to work, he would stop in the masjid. And he would leave, he would clean
everything up and then go, he would always look for the times that people would not see him. So
nobody knew that he was doing any of these things. But he would always do that. And he was like, one
day, he was the last person to we used to live close to the machine next to the machine. And he
came, he came out and I was in the house. And I heard I heard a gunshot, but I didn't think it was a
gunshot because we have Independence Day, you know, in July. And people always have fireworks and
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:46
			this was like few days afterwards. And I'm thinking it's just, it's just that somebody's just
burning their leftover meds or something like that. You know, these fireworks? I don't know if you
guys have those things here or not? Is it illegal here?
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:57
			Anyways, they have that they burn and you you hear all these sounds. And so I hear my father calling
me dilbar dilbar is somebody shot me.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			So I went to him.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:11
			And when he saw my face, he said, Eli, the law was how do I know Mohammed Rasul Allah. So he, and
then I told him when I heard that, I said, Father,
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:19
			Father, I don't care who talks to you from now on. Don't say a single word.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			Just in your heart, you've done a lot of good.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:32
			and repent to Allah. ask Allah for forgiveness and ask for his mercy. Don't say a single word after
this.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:47
			And he never said anything. After that the ambulance and everybody, anything, everything came. And
then the police officer, the detective started coming around asking me, he's asking me about what
was happening in you know, was the masjid open.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:54
			And I was just walking around telling him what was happening with, you know, what, what the area of
the machine. And so
		
00:36:56 --> 00:37:20
			and I was just speaking to him normally, just whatever would, you know, I was a little bit saddened,
but, you know, I wasn't like yelling or anything like that. Just calm and speaking of normal,
normal, just like how anyone would speak to a person not during that situation. But after in the
morning, he asked me, you know, the detective spoke to some of the other people. He spoke to one of
my friends. So the detective he said,
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:31
			You know that I've never seen all the homicides and murders I've seen in my life. I've never seen
somebody like him.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:55
			That's amazing. So he told me you made great data. I said, Well, I didn't even speak about it. slap
my friends. And I didn't speak. I didn't say anything. But Islam, said you made great data. The
detective came to me and he said, in all my days, I've witnessed 1000s or hundreds, hundreds of
crime scenes. Never seen somebody especially related to somebody who was just murdered, like him
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:08
			to how I even thought that he did it. That's a detective. So it's not humanly possible. It's not
humanly possible for somebody to be in that state.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:20
			You know, most people are going crazy. And so I told him, I said, let me tell you, I was sad what
was happening. But my father
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:26
			got something that I want. And I don't even know that I'll have that.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31
			His last words were La ilaha illa Allah.
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:39
			And the prophets have a lot of some said monken Europa, la mihaela, Illa Illa. Allah,
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:50
			Who is every last word is La la la. We're into paradise. I don't know on the day that I die, that
I'll be able to say that.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			I'm just hoping that I will be
		
00:38:56 --> 00:39:04
			and we ask Allah and that's why they do that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked more than
anything was
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:11
			yarmulke liberal Sabbath, lb allogenic. Ayesha was asked,
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:22
			What supplication did the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam say the most? And she said and he is the
Messenger of Allah,
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:59
			the Messenger of Allah, not like any one of us. And the do either he asked more than anyone,
anything else is yamu kalibo kulu. Oh, Allah, the One who changes hearts. That bit I'll be
allergenic. Make my heart firm in your religion. Make my heart firm and your obedience and that was
the desire that the profit some asked more than anything else. And we ourselves every day, when you
go outside, before you drive yamaka liberal kulu sub bit can be it
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:08
			Because you never know if you're going to reach home when you're going home, and when you're going
to school and you don't know if you're going to reach school or not.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:13
			And when you go to sleep, do you know that you're going to wake up in the morning?
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:23
			And when you wake up in the morning, do you know that you're going to come back home? Nobody knows.
Nobody can guarantee that it can come at any time.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:28
			But what you want is whenever it comes,
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			ask yourself are you ready?
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			You might not have time
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:43
			to return because a lot of people they say insha Allah, after I get married, I'll be good.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:41:09
			inshallah, after I make Hajj, then I'll be good. until after I graduate, then I'll be good.
inshallah, after I retire, then I'll be good. inshallah, I'll start going to the masjid after I pay
my mortgage off this and that all kinds of things. But you know what, I want you to read the Quran.
And I want you to read
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:20
			when you when Allah speaks about the people that Hellfire I want you to look and see if the reasons
and you'll find one
