Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Murthy, Ramadan Lila and me what are the
early he was Safi about a cosa limita Sleeman give urine. Ilya
within Amma birth, death and dying is something which obviously is
very essential for all of us to understand it. Something that we
all recognize deep down at that moment of acknowledgement, when we
get up, feeling a bit miserable, the
this feeling of being miserable is actually sometimes leads us to
think about what we're doing in the world and
where we're going to go with these things. It's an unfortunate fact.
But that's the way Allah once said that.
We don't remember death all the time, if we did,
things would be much better in this world. It's because of the
absence of death or the feeling of death or the consciousness of
death that most of us lead ourselves to doing things which
are
disapproved, create, inappropriate, in this in this
world,
and so on and so forth. So
there are those times that Allah subhanaw taala opens up, reveals
mortality for us. And suddenly we realize that we are mortal souls
that we're going to also die, that confidence suddenly recedes, and
we get that moment of reflection, we stand upright, we sit upright,
and we start thinking about it.
See the way if we go into
the,
the makeup of the human who is an incision, there's a big difference
of opinion among the scholars as to what exactly is the inside when
you say so? And so is a human being what are we pointing towards
me pointing towards his body?
Are we pointing towards his heart in particular or his mind? In
particular, certain parts of his body maybe? Or is it the soul the
thing by which the body is alive?
So first and foremost, that's the question is what exactly defines
that in son? Who is the human being? Number two? If we separate
the soul from the body?
Then what is the soul? How would you define the soul? Allah
subhanho wa Taala asks, Allah subhanho wa Taala first refers to
the inner Quran West Aluna karate roar. This was one of the three
questions that were asked, What are the three questions that were
asked?
By the Jews? They asked that to the people of Makkah, and said,
You need to ask this to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam?
If he answers all three of them with some detail, then that means
there's something incorrect here, he should only be able to answer
two of the questions and one he should abstain from answering. So
he asked the three they asked the three questions about little
cuddling, etc. And Professor Lawson responded, he didn't say he
didn't say in sha Allah. So he had to wait for a number of days
before the actual revelation came and then he responded to them. And
then for the rule, the last question, which is where's
Illumina and your ruler, he said, he said, I don't know much more
about that Allah subhanaw taala, revealed coolroom In Emery rugby,
that the rule is from the orders of my lord or from the matters of
my Lord, or from the commands of my Lord. So that's why from this,
scholars have tried to understand is rule a body? Is it an abstract,
or in philosophical language? Is it an accident? Or is it a
substance? So I think pretty much most agree that it is a substance,
but it's unlike any other substance, because it's not
created from something it's created from the hookah of Allah.
It's just created from Quran Allah wants it to be and it becomes. Now
let's go into another Hadith that really tells us something very
interesting, which talks about the beginning of creation, the
beginning of man and the whole makeup of this. This is referred
to in the Quran as the duelist. Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
the Quran,
that when Allah subhanaw taala created other money has Salam he
extracted extracted from him the progeny This is the details I
mentioned in the Hadith that when Allah subhanaw taala created other
monies Salam, or the man Islam did not come from a sperm and an egg,
but he was created from the soil of the earth
when he was created, and the rule philosopher tofi Hema Rohi for an
alpha two V Ruhi. There's nothing which means to blow the Spirit the
blow the soul. This is what took place otherwise alarm was a living
being
When other Maricella became a living being,
Allah subhanaw taala says that he extracted the prophets Allah son
tells us that Allah extracted all the progeny of Adam. Everybody
that was to come from Adam Alayhis Salam, every child of his which
means every one of us everyone has passed and everybody that will
come until the day of judgment in the what it says in the form of
small ants doesn't have to be an ant. But it's just showing scale,
that this is probably what it was like to get everybody there.
Allah has vast amounts of real estate anyway, but this is what it
is. Then Allah subhanaw taala manifested Himself to them and he
said, allow us to grow up become, as Allah says in the Quran.
Why should the Humala and fusi him allow us to be or become Carlu?
Bella said, Of course you are. There was no pollution of the time
nobody had been adulterated by any other thought process. Any other
ideology. Any other belief this was this the time of purity
natural faith, the fitrah this is what you call federal. This is
what you call federal. So they all said Bala, of course you are.
And then Allah subhanaw taala explains that
in the Quran, that we did this to bear with that you bear witness
against yourself. Now when we come into this world, we forget about
this.
Does anybody remember?
Witnessing Allah subhanaw taala and saying,
anybody? I mean, there's some people who are
nobody?
If you do remember, let me know.
Apparently,
if this is something that anybody wishes to deny, then does anybody
remember being in the womb?
Something a bit more undeniable? Right? If we can't remember that,
and so 100 There, there have been people in history who have said
that I really remember that.
We remember this, this stage is kind of interesting. Clearly, it
doesn't make a difference. We forget it in this world. Now we
live we live in this world as we're supposed to live. Allah
subhanho wa Taala reminds us that this covenant, this ad was taken
by you. He tells us through prophets, it's in the Quran, very
clearly. So a person is then shown the truth and their own for Allah
Maha Fujiwara, ha Toccoa. Allah subhanho wa Taala inspires the
heart and the bottle, the right and the wrong transgression and
piety. A person lives in this life. But he's, that's the part of
the challenge in this life to live it based on these dictates against
what the knifes may want, against what the attractions of this dunya
may dictate. For us. That's the struggle. That's the challenge.
That's where the concept of mortality and remembering death
becomes very useful. Because when a person thinks of their death,
then they're able to, they're able to be more conscious and less
selfish. So, in the Hereafter, though,
our life that we lived in this world will become completely clear
and evident in front of us undeniable reality. Because not
only will it be right in front of us, they will be the books, the
records of the Quran and ketamine of the angels, these noble
writers, their records will be there. Well how Saleae math is so
dual, that which is in the hearts will reveal itself. It's almost
like the database and this time that we're going through right now
with all of the the whistleblowers and the privacy laws and the
spying and all the rest of it, it just makes this so much more
easier for us to understand. And maybe these things are being
revealed to us today because maybe our iman is not strong enough to
just believe in the unseen to believe in what Allah says in the
Quran anyway. So wholesaler math is pseudo that which is in the
hearts will become revealed will become open and declared. That is
the hard drive of the heart that nobody is privy to. Nobody has any
software to be able to read that right now. But that will become
manifest in the world in the Hereafter. Then he says yo mama to
head to Akbar Allah be hon Baca ohada Ha speaking about the Earth,
the Earth that we walked on, and we did whatever we did on that,
that is when it will reveal its news, yo, even to head Akbar Allah
because Allah will inspire it to do so. So then we have another
evidence in front of us. And then fourthly, there will be the limbs
themselves a specific limbs that will speak
Subhanallah and the human will ask his limbs, what is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you, you're bearing witness against yourself.
And the limbs will say this is because Allah has told us to speak
and there's nothing that can stop it. So this will be evidence
against us. So we will have all of these things so it will be totally
up
similar reality that's why they say that nobody will enter
Jahannam thinking he has been wronged even in the least, in this
world, many criminals go down thinking that they've been either
over punished or wrongly punished. And sometimes this does become
evident later on. But in the Hereafter, while our elderly Maura
Buka, you will or will not oppress anybody, because everybody will be
completely clear as to why they're going in, there'll be no, not even
a sense a sense of oppression against Allah subhanho wa Taala on
that day, or feeling of oppression from Allah subhanaw taala. On that
day, however, we thought of saying all of that, to bring the rule in
to bring the soul in and this covenant in
us when we die, and we were resurrected, that is when the
knowledge of this covenant will also become evident in our mind.
Now what happens is we've got the covenant in our mind that we
recognize Allah and we said, we'd be obedient. And on the other
hand, the entire story of our life is on the other hand, now what
happens with that, if they match, and the life has been lived
according to this, there's happiness upon happiness. And if
there's not, then there's loss, over loss. This is actually the
final moments that when a person passes away, when a person is
passing away, I'll mention a hadith about this. But when a
person is passing away, this is also the realizations that hit
them. It says that when a person starts passing away, reality
strikes, they start seeing the world for what it really is, they
see the truth as the truth, and the wrong as the wrong. Then they
see their whole life and how they spent it, what their likes and
dislikes work, what level of obedience they had, and what level
of level of disobedience they had. And when that doesn't come
together. That's why this is called an evil seeding state. So
we'll hotma This is called a su Hakima. The evil seeding state,
that an ending by which our life is sealed in an evil way, evil
way, not because somebody else is making an evil for us, they may be
around us helping us out, you know, with the most luxurious
possibility and facilities of dying, but inside and that's what
really matters. That's how a person goes from here. If it's a
good state, it's called Personal hajima, which is the pleasant or
the good seating states. And that's what we hope to Allah
subhanaw taala for where our life is, according to that. Now, the
Hadith what happens then is that these are wha they in the loins of
other mighty his salam how exactly Allah subhanaw taala knows best.
But what their Allah mentioned is that we go through the
generations, our forefathers, we go through our forefathers now,
there's a part of this so it seems which is within that but this the
way the Hadith explain it, the Arwa in Ireland mulawa The
universe of the spirits, the world of the souls, the island of the
Ottawa, Allah knows exactly where that is. Right? There's a hadith
of Imam Buhari relates
from our a shot of the Allahu anha
she says that I heard a song of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
saying an Ottawa who julu the magenta nada.
The souls are the spirits are these you can say, gathered forces
or an army contingent armies fomat out of a minha tellef Walmart Dona
Cara minha a third of
those that recognize each other. They have congeniality and
friendship between them, they hit it off, and those that
do not recognize each other. They differ. They don't have that
Congeniality. Now what is this speaking about? This is speaking
about how, you know sometimes you come into a room and there's many
people here today that I'm seeing for the first time now, I may
start speaking to one of you, you may start speaking to me and there
may be some of us that will just hit it away straight away. Right
Okay, I like this guy. He's nice. I can get along with them.
There'll be others who will be suspicious some of you may be
there thinking who is this suspicious guy speaking to us
right? Now? The reason for this according to the commentaries on
this hadith given by even a hydra no yet cetera rocky Muhammad Allah
is that if a put this to understandings of this one is that
if you are part of the same contingent or close enough are
facing each other, or whatever it is, however you describe that in
that
realm of the souls, then it's much easier for you to recognize that
person and be congenial with them in this world. And those that you
are distant from or you are not part of their condition or
otherwise, then it's more difficult. This doesn't mean
that you will never be together, it's just that you may have
noticed that sometimes you don't hit it off with somebody
immediately. But then you then after a while you can become the
best of friends, when you first saw them, you were maybe
suspicious of them. Right? Maybe you have very negative towards
them. But then after that you became the closest of friends that
nobody can separate. So this doesn't have to be a kind of a
final decision about anything. It's just talking about a state,
just connecting the rule, the item of the rule and the soul to this
world that we live in. Another understanding of this is that
people have been made and constituted with different types
of characteristics. So when you find somebody of a similar
characteristic to you, that you find congeniality with, you'll hit
it off with them, and it'd be easier for you to do that while
with others. It'll take you more time maybe, or you maybe you'll
never hit it off with them. Either way. One very interesting story
that's related in this from Abuja, Allah is that Amira? binter Abdur
Rahman, she says that once there was a woman in Makkah Makarova,
one of the mahadji rods, and she was a joking personality Mirza,
she used to love to joke when she moved to Madina, Munawwara she
found the woman that she was, she stayed with you know, they didn't
the more ahart Were the profit or loss and paired people up with
each other. When the when the first me greeters went to Madina
Munawwara the profit and loss and put them together is very
interesting because what I remember from the story, let me
finish the Hadith first.
I want to be interrupted Ahmed says that this woman who was of a
jokey nature, a humorous nature, she was paired with somebody of a
similar nature, maybe coincidentally. Right? It just so
happened that they came together, Allah knows best, but I usually
the Allahu Allah says that sadaqa hibi My beloved, was absolutely
truthful. submitted to rasool Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, I heard us all of us, Allah him saying that he met she
mentioned this hadith. Now that that brings another bell for me,
which is that Abdul Rahman Ignatieff who was
an a great businessman, he could make money from anything. And he
used to say I could pick up a stone and and turn that into gold,
I'll find gold underneath and really Allah had given him huge
amounts. When he came to Madina Munawwara. He was also paired with
some of the one of the richest man in Madina Munawwara, who offered
him half of everything he had, but I'm dramatic now for the onset. I
don't want any of that, just show me where the market is. And by the
end of that day, he'd already brought some cheese back home and
contributed. That's how I'm drama, independent, full of confidence in
that full of trust in Allah subhanaw taala. And then he just
went from strength to strength. And absolutely, he was a
billionaire. So that gives us some understanding. Now let's go back
again to the embryonic stage there's a hadith in Muslim which
speaks about the embryonic stage, how it's in stages of 40 days
each, that the clot of blood after it has been inseminated, that the
egg has been so many becomes a piece of flesh and it becomes it
becomes more of a an embryo. And then in the third trimester 120
days, according to the Hadith, we have no Masuda the Allah honoring
Muslim, that is when the soul is blown into it. So now what is
happening here is that you've got the Ireland will Urwa where all
the souls are waiting to be appointed, waiting to find bodies,
let's just say that way, right waiting to find bodies. Now.
Each one has a story that Allah subhanaw taala knows about for
them and has designated and written about in a descriptive way
that this is what they will do. This is their lifespan, this is
what they'll earn and so on. This is what the Hadith mentions. So at
this third trimester 120 days, this is when this angel comes
along and now links this rule into this embryo. So now this is why
in, in Islam, 120 days is that cut off day
for because before 120 days, there's a possibility of abortion.
So we're not like abortion is just completely off. There are certain
cases extreme cases where abortion is allowed before 120 days, but
not after 120 days because now you have a life. You have a living
being now after 120 days. So that hadith mentions that it's time
will be written, its lifespan will be written and its earnings, etc.
We'll all be we'll all be written. Now. You can see how the link has
come from this repository of ROI and souls. It's been designated to
this human being and it's got its container its vessel. So at the
end of the day, now who do you want do you think is an insulin?
Is it this body that we spent so much time behind? That even men
have makeup now? Right It's understandable about women that
you know a woman you know she will feel healthier to you or who will
feel his army a little more
When Allah subhanaw taala speaks about women adorning themselves,
it's understandable, it's from their nature. But then you already
have men doing the same thing about their bodies. Right? So what
is the inside reading? Is it the soul? Is it the inside? Or what is
it? Anyway, now we move on this body, this embryo then becomes,
comes into the world. Now, what happens in this world is the body
seems to be primary, and it is primary, the soul has a link to
the body, but the body is primary. That's why we feel everything, we
sense everything, we do everything. And we refer
everything to the body of the human being. However, when you've
got a corpse there, and the soul is gone, do you still feel that
there is still brother? Or sister Asia? Is that still sister Aisha?
Or do you feel they've gone somewhere? Like we know deep down,
that's the way it is. So in this world, the body is primary, the
soul is secondary. However, there's a link between the two.
Right? That's why we still dream and can go places in our dreams,
because the soul can go anywhere in their dreams. The body doesn't
go anywhere, but we can have a nice trip around the world and
come back. And that's the soul that can come back. Now, you might
say, does that mean the person is dead while Assange souls gone
somewhere in a dream? No, it's a really sophisticated connection.
Right? It's a sophisticated connection, almost they explained
it like it's not the link between the soul and the body is neither a
fully connected one. Neither is it a total totally separate one. So
there's a category in between the two of being neither connected,
neither separated in this kind of really, really sophisticated
relationship between the two.
I'm just trying to really be as brief as possible, because there's
a lot of detail in each of these stages, I want to get to the last
stage because that's the more important stage.
Then what happens is, we live with it, we live this life. As people
live this life and finish their timespan in this world, the agile,
as mentioned the Hadith, then they die, which means their soul now
seems to not be in this body anymore, this body becomes limp.
This body becomes lifeless, it's buried, in most cases is buried.
In other cases, it's cremated. Yet in other cases, it's mauled by an
animal, it's digested. And yet in other times, it could be
incinerated. And there could be so many different things that can
happen to this body. But that's fine. It doesn't matter. Most
people are probably still buried, and their bodies still survives.
But we've got this rule of remember. So now the question
about the grave. In the grave, what happens is, I'll just explain
this briefly before I talk about before I bring the Hadith about
this in particular, but in the grave, the soul now becomes
primary. When I say in the grave, I mean, the island will Bursa,
this intermediate realm between this world, and the resurrection
on the hereafter, because every human being goes through five
stages, our level Urawa,
and then the embryonic stage, then coming out in this world, and
living this world, then, as people are dying over the course of
history, waiting for the day of judgment, there's so many billions
of people have died before us, there will be others that will
die, then the Day of Judgment will occur. So what happens to all of
these people who die until the Day of Judgment, so we go into this
waiting room, this waiting realm, it's called the bursa, the
Intermediate Realm, this I would just refer to as the grave. This
is what we generally refer to as the grave. Even though some people
are not in a grave when they go from this world. The hadith
mentions that there's always going to be a portion of the body, a
part of the body, whether that be as small as just the DNA, as you
will then up. That's what it mentions, the CO kicks, that is
what really is retained. Now, you might say sometimes totally
incinerated, there's still particles that remain. And from
it, Allah subhanaw taala can recreate because he can recreate
from nothing. So that's that shouldn't raise any questions for
us as it did for the people of Makkah, where they challenge the
Prophet sallallahu sunnah one person brought two really old,
worn out bones. And he, he rubbed them together until they were
powdered and you said, you're telling me that we will have a
resurrection from this? And Allah says, I've created from nothing.
Then why should this be a question of the mighty sunnah was created
from nothing in that sense? So then what happens is,
when we're resurrected
in the grief or in this intermediate role, the soul now
becomes primary. That's why there is punishment and there is there
is pleasure to be experienced, because the soul is still now that
could be done through
The body because you know you have these narrations that speak about
punishing the body of the person. Now, if a person thinks that I can
escape, if I don't have a body and I get cremated, the soul is still
there to experience it because the soul is primary, the body is
secondary. So the body doesn't even have to be there. Somehow
this person will gain all of that in because the souls are very much
alive, the souls do not die. The only time the soul dies, according
to the majority opinion, is on Tiama. That's when everything
including angels become nothing, and only Allah remains, and then
they're resurrected again. SubhanAllah. But through this
process is the body that dies, the soul is just extracted. And that's
why you had experiences of individuals.
There was just as an account of one of the one of the Olia Allah
recently that I read, where he is saying he is lying down and he's
saying, Look, I feel the soul has been extracted by my feet. Now
it's reached my knees, now it's reached my waist. And then finally
it comes out like this. And that's why generally people generally
seem looking up because they've gone off of Allahu Allah, Adam.
But there's been experiences like this as well, it's kind of very
interesting.
Then in the Hereafter, once a person is on the Day of Judgment,
which is the fourth life, which is the hisab, that accounting, the
reckoning, then the person goes into the fifth life of Jana, to
Johanna, or Jahannam, then Jana, for the asado mumineen, for the
for the sinners among the believers, but during that final
life is when a person is given. So if in this life, the body is
primary, and the soul is secondary, in the cover in the
body, the soul is primary, the body is secondary, but in the
Hereafter, the body and soul are both primary in equal measures.
That's why you feel full pleasure in Jannah. Because it will be
needed, that kind of bandwidth will be needed to get everything
that needs to feel the pleasure of what Allah has prepared for us
there. And likewise, for those who are in hellfire, body spirit, both
full faculties are given to really feel the intense punishment that
is there.
Allah preserve us from that that is the relationship between the
roof and the body. Now let's just look at another Hadith about when
a person dies. So now this is when a person is just about or rather,
he's about to die, he is dying, he or she is dying, the soul is being
extracted. What happens? Where does the soul go first? So now,
the sole there's a hadith that's rated by Muhammad it's a sign
ERATION Imam Muhammad relates from Bara, even Isaac Rudy Allahu anhu,
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said in the Abdullah
movement with that kind of fee in Peter immediate dunya what a
burden mineral burden.
Nessa la la mala Inca two minutes a summer. This tells you in very
specific words, the verb is Allah Azza was saying that when a
believer a believing servant is about to depart he is in between
departing from the world in Qatar in minute dunya departing the
world and looking towards the next so he's in this stage in this
halfway stage.
These angels they descend from the heavens is a special contingent of
angels that are being able to do extremely bright faced gunner
would you want assurance as though this the phases are like the sun
so it is this brightness about them to bring happiness right to
people?
It says kind of it says my home government or climate agenda or
handle to mean Hannity agenda. They have shrouds from Jana, and
also handled different special fragrance preparation that is used
to annoy the the disease. They have a special mixture from Jana
that nobody can buy in this world had usually two men who met the
buzzer, they sit with him at a distance that of his sight. And
then so they're waiting they're waiting there with this
preparation. Remember, he hasn't had a shroud of the world yet
because he's just dying right now. So they already come. And you
know, when a nice bright face person comes into the into the
room, it just makes you feel nice. So this is kind of a focus on that
whether the person is dark in color, complexion wise, it's about
a brightness of the face. I visited West Africa and you see
mashallah the some of the Oleander believers, they have the new,
right so it's not about black or white. So white people shouldn't
think that they're any better than black people in that sense. It's
about the brightness and illumination of Eman, that's
what's being referred to here.
So then what happens is they're waiting and then the medical motor
peers, this is the angel of death, the angel of death appears. And
he goes, he's not frightened of anything goes and stands sits
right by the head of this person and says, a year to handcuff Salma
in a year to her Nashotah yerba Oh pleasant soul. Oh pleasant soul.
He's not saying oh Ahmed. Oh use of. He's saying Oh pleasant soul,
or yet 200 of Sumatra together, or rue de la Marathi mean Allah what
Edwin, come out, be extracted, depart to the, to the forgiveness
of Allah to the forgiveness of Allah and to his satisfaction and
to His pleasure. What a state what estates for dahulu decile karma
Tassilo patana two min fisica. And so then it just just drops out, it
just flows out, there is no difficulty that there's no
harassment of the soul, it just flows out like a drop flows from
the mouth of a bottle or mouth of a container, it just flows out so
easily find out who her for either other, let the other half a year,
the he he takes hold of it. But those angels do not allow it to
drop to the ground or for anything else to happen. And they quickly
the blink of an eye, they will come and grab the soul. This is
the shrouding of the soul. Not the sharding of the body. The body is
being shouted by the human beings eventually, but the shouting of
the soul takes place beforehand. That's a glad tiding already
Subhanallah now you understand why when people die, you want to move
them into the grave as soon as possible. Don't wait for the guys
who are coming from Blackburn or Bolson or Manchester or wherever
you know he wants to go and that's why the Hadith mentions quickly do
it because if he's a good person, then you're just stopping him from
what he really wants. And if he's a bad person, then why do you want
to have him around anyway?
Right? So
they put him into that coffin and into that mixture that they apply
that mixture of hands on them. And then he goes fragrant, so fragrant
and smelling so good. That there is nothing that smells as good as
its as the best of mass that you will ever smell in this world.
Would you that Allah which in other words, for us, I do. Face
are doing I'd be her father Yeah, Marina Yeah. And he Behala mother
immunol Mala Isla karuma has a rule. As they go they meet
different angels, different contingencies and doing different
things. They go up to the heavens, any angel they call past this
angel is wondering what is his beautiful?
The What is it beautiful in sun, this beautiful soul that's going
past? What is this beautiful that is going past? So Maha the ruler
of the year? What is this
elegant soul? This fabulous soul that's going past says fulla
NewBlue Falon be asked any SMA so that the ancients will will
respond and say If so and so using the best of His Names that he
would have liked to be called by in this world.
Until he got until they go to
the first heaven when they get to the first heaven they will ask for
it to be opened just like the prophets of Allah Some ask for the
Gibreel ask for it to be open during the ascension of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, you have to have to get get through
the gods at that door. So he they asked for it to be opened. It's
open for them and they are welcomed. This soul is welcomed at
every heaven the seven heavens and every heaven the soul is welcomed
what a what a welcome, welcome Subhanallah until they get to the
seventh heaven and then Allah subhanaw taala says to boo Kitab
Abdi up to boo kita Abdi fee right? The name right the record
right the record of this servant of Mine in the law in the year in
the highest levels now that Allah in the in the in lien and you have
the C gene there in the UN is the record of the pious ones or it's a
state it's the place the high rank the penthouse is the upgraded
quarters whatever you want to call it. And when you say upgraded in
Jana, I mean Jana itself is Subhanallah and then when you say
upgrade there, you know you can just imagine, so write his name
dead, but return the soul back to the earth earthly matter, it has
to go back to the earth what are you do who eel Earth for in for in
hook for in for me, minha HELOC to whom return the soul to the earth.
Designate his space there, record him to be there, get his booking
there, but return him to to the earth because that is from which I
created him. I created him from the soul so he has to go back the
Wi Fi hub or into home and that is where I will have to return him.
Well I mean how regio home Martin O'Hara and he's from the US
After that I will then resurrect him the second time and that's why
we read this when we're taking the soil and putting it into the grave
over our disease we say minha Hakuna comb or V Hearn or Ido
comb, Amin hanok. regio comb, Tara and okra as Allah subhanaw taala
said, we say the same thing,
then this rule comes back into the body. But now this rule is primary
remember, is in the gray is primary. Now what happens is,
by this time, or after this time, simultaneously, the people are
sorting, bathing, whistle shrouded, etc. And eventually, it
says that this body when the soul comes back into the body, then
eventually it's going to be set up into the grave by the angels,
Moncure Nikhil, the moon current Nikhil, they're going to sit him
up or her up or whatever, whoever it is, and start asking the
questions, man, Rob book. Now of course, if you've already had this
experience, and then the angels come and say, Who is your Lord?
And what is your deen? It's going to be an enjoyable session, your
confidence, there's no, there's no terror whatsoever. There's no
grief at all. Its total happiness and bliss, right from this moment.
Bliss doesn't start later. It starts here from as soon as a
person is departed. That's why you see smiles in certain people's
face when they die. You see the smell of must coming from them.
And that could be that handle that we're speaking about, which is
just somehow Allah has allowed it to rend the veils in between and
find itself into the world. And that's why you have people whose
grave smell for for long afterwards.
Then the prophets of Allah has carried on, and he mentioned how a
disbelievers soul will be taken. And he says, it will be taken for
yes I do in behalf Allah Morona each, it's not going to be as
pleasant as this. But the the main thing is that when they get to the
heavens, or any angel they go pass, they will recognize this as
a disgusting rule as a disgusting soul. And that's why they will
say, ma the roja beef. What is this repugnant soul? What is this
ugly thing you've brought? What is this still the thing that you
brought? And they will say full arugula and be Akbar he isn't. And
they will say so and so with the worst of the names that he would
have liked to have been called by.
Until eventually they get to the first heaven. And the first heaven
they asked for it to be opened, but it's not opened. It is not
opened. And that's where the Prophet salallahu Salam recited
from the Quran. Allah to Allah was summer LA to Fattah hula hula was
summer, the doors of hemmens will never be open for them. Whether it
Hulu's Jana, they will not enter Jana, Hector yearly Jerry, Gemma
Luffy some millfields until a camel is able to go through the
eye of a needle, which is an impossibility.
So then Allah subhana wa Tada will say when he sees that dilemma,
he'll say, hook taboo. Taboo. Kitab houfy CVC gene and fill out
right record his name, give him a booking in the seat gene. This is
the this is the wreck the register of the worst of the people this is
where their names will be designated that they must go their
feet fell out of the sofa in the lowest of the Earth's levels of
the earth for tattoo for total Rahu Tarhan so his his soul will
just be flung. There's no nobility and honor here. His soul will just
be flung. And that's why then the profits and loss and rent while
may usually be Lifehacker and nama horror, Amina sama batata, who
will pay you outta Hui be Henry who P McCann in Sahidic, that
anybody who is who does ship with Allah subhanho wa taala, then it's
like he's just been thrown, he's just fallen from the heavens, is
this fallen from the heavens, and then a bird will pick at him or
the, the wind will just take him. So he's essentially just left to
the roof. He just said, Finally his roof is brought back into the
just simultaneously with all that's going on in the world. And
then he is also made to sit up by the moon car and Nokia that come
in these weird forms. And then he's also asked the question, man,
Rob buck is already not frightened, then this is the worst
of situations that he will face. What kind of an answer will he
given that day. So that gives us an understanding of what happens
immediately afterwards, then the questioning that happens and after
the questioning, then the purpose of the law is to explain that this
grave of yours, which is the burdock is the first stage of the
hereafter. After all of this has happened. This is the first stage
of the hereafter. It's either a garden of paradise for you, or
it's a pit of *. So likewise, if it's if it's a person who's
designated for hellfire and has had this treatment, then his ribs
are
crush because the earth just contracts and says that You are
the worst of the people who are on me. And today, I'm so happy to
have you here. So they can do what I've always wanted to do for you.
It's like the sadist of speaking, like from a horror movie, you
know, one of the worst that you can think of, I don't watch horror
movies. But, you know,
if it's a good person, the earth contract, the earth expands and
says, and then there's a door of Jannah, that's opened up. So
again, you feel this through the Soul, because the soul is not
primary, and the body is secondary there. Now a person stays in that
state, enjoying or in punishment. And then as Allah subhanaw taala
says, about the about Pharaoh,
or the Hulu or the theater owner a shutdown either.
Allah subhanaw taala says when the Day of Judgment will occur, enter
Pharaoh into a worst punishment, I bring this up because a worst
punishment, that means there must have been a punishment before he
wasn't being punished in the earth. He already had a punishment
in the end of being drowned in the way he did. But the punishment in
the grave, and now worse punishment. This is just one of
the verses that indicate the punishment in the grave. And
there's a number of others. And there's a huge amount of the order
in this case anyway. So a person stays in that state. How long does
that feel? I don't know. How long will that feel? Because for some
people will be 1000s of years. For some people will be a very short
time. How long does it feel? I don't know. All we have to worry
about is, is that it feels good. Because it feels good than 1000
years. And what's the problem? 10,000 years. What's the problem?
You got? A you got you got something coming? You got a breeze
coming from Jana. The scents and fragrance from coming from Jana.
What's the problem with all of that? Anyway? Now let's move on.
The soul doesn't have to stay in the grave, though. It comes back
to answer these questions. But then after that, where does the
soul go? So where is the soul? Before Jana? And Johanna, before
the day of reckoning? Where is the soul in this time? So yes, it
always is going to have a connection with the with the body,
if there's a body, right. But as I said, the soul is going to be now
reigned supreme primary, the soul, depending on who the person is, is
either going to be in the middle of Jana, around the edges of Jana,
or at the dose of Jana, or others will not be allowed, even up to
the heavens. You already have some idea about this. So now let's,
let's look at this.
If we look at
there's a number of opinions here, which I'll then try to conclude
afterwards. Ignore him in his Kitab Rohingyas wonderful book.
He's gotten the roof of the soul. It's a wonderfully written book.
He mentioned that Aurora 111 group, they say that the souls of
believers will be befinner l Jana in the courtyards of Jana. They
won't be allowed inside. But there'll be
at the doors of Jana on the outskirts in the courtyards.
They will still benefit from the fragrance from the site and
everything else. They will benefit from that. Another group says that
they will actually just be in the caboose. In the grace. Imam Malik
had an opinion. His brother honey Unruh hammer Salah that hate to
shut him up Maddox has a narration in which he says that souls can go
anywhere they want. souls can travel anywhere they want. This
has some backing because the prophets of Allah Salam on his
ascension from Morocco, Morocco, Rama when he was taken to
Jerusalem first, on the way he meets Musa alayhis salam in beta.
In tourists ina by his grave, He speaks to him there. He meets him
again in beta macness in Jerusalem, where he leads him in
prayer and with the other prophets. Then he meets him again
on the sixth heaven.
And that entire exchange takes place. So a rule is able to
travel, meaning there's a possibility there. Right. And we
don't want to get too much into that because then people get a bit
obsessed with this whole thing. I saw my dead mother and you know,
and people work up a lot of ideas. These are not impossibilities, I'd
like to say they're within the realm of possibilities, but the
one has to be careful of how they deal with this because shaytaan
can also come in the forms of people and try to mislead people.
So there is that possibility of delusion, which is not when
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. However, it can't be
denied. Imam Muhammad did not humble according to a transmission
of his son Abdullah he says Urwa liquefied dinar that the souls of
disbelievers are in the Hellfire while the souls of believers will
be in Jana, another group of Sahaba and tambourine, they had an
opinion that they will, they will be in a certain place in the world
that's where they gathered. Wallah.
Are the
GitHub a bar he mentioned, our work will mean in a fee in the
summer is Serbia, there'll be a lien on the seventh heaven? Well,
we already know that there will be designated there. Again, all of
this seems to that they're all taking certain durations and
considering them to be the primary narration, if we put it all
together, because there's yet another opinion, which comes from
another Hadith narration, so Allah, Allah son went up to the
first heaven, Adam and Islam was there. He was looking to his
rights, and smiling. Then he looked to a group on his left, and
he was crying. So the problem is, I'm asked what happened there. He
said, Oh, on his right are all of his children that did well in the
world, and he's smiling about them, and on his left are all the
sinners. And that's why he's really, really unhappy about that.
So somebody will say, this is where the rules will stay. Right?
So they've taken it from this narration, because we have this
number of these different durations, if no hasm Allah He
seems to have left it as a, you know, abstain from committing to
any he says they are, where they were before, when the alarm or
walk in the beginning, that's where they will go back to
wherever that is, and Allah knows best. So this is not part of our
archy that we must know where they are, whatever it is that they
exist, and they will feel punishment, and they will suffer
or they will feel pleasure. That's all we need to believe, but I just
thought, this is information that is inshallah beneficial for us.
Anyway, let's just take it like this, what we have in terms of the
most authentic way of understanding this from the
Gambia, where will the, the souls of the prophets be? Souls of the
prophets will be obvious if he Allah Elohim in the highest places
in Jannah? That's no doubt about the philosophical Allah, because
that's what the prophets Lawson said Bill rafiqul Ira, the rafiqul
either owner with the highest friends highest companion, whether
he's referring to Allah subhanaw taala or he's referring to this
group of people, right?
And that's what I shot at the Allah one has said she heard from
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam. Now of course, among the
prophets there will be different stages because Ibrahim Al Islam is
a very high level prophet. But then again, though they are there
they can also be seen in other places like other Muslim is on the
first time and in the hadith of Muslim the Muslim was the promises
are met other Muslim on the first heaven. On the second one he met
Isa allihies Salaam and yeah, he it set up. Now he started Islam is
still alive anyway. So he's there on the site, the second heaven
according to this hadith, on the third one he made use of Allah he
Salam. On the fourth one he met Idris Ali Salam on the fifth one
he met Harun Ali Salaam. On the sixth one, he met Mousavi Salaam.
On the seventh he met Ibrahim Elisa Ibrahim Hassan was there
relaxing with his back to the caliber of the angels albedo map
mode, which is up there on the seventh heaven and 70,000 angels
go around that every day. And once an angel has done his toe off
once, they never get to do it again in their existence, because
there's such a large number of angels. So we're still lucky that
even every five years of Ramadan, we can still go more to see our
caliber and do tawaf around it. So anyway, that's the prophets, the
second highest level group in this hierarchy. shahada are the
martyrs. Now in terms of the martyrs you have what atheism and
Alina, Cthulhu feasability, Allah here and water, but here on end
are behaviors. Akun do not for even a moment ever think that
those people who are killing the path of Allah are dead, dead, but
they are very much alive, and they are even being sustained by their
Lord. They're being sustained, sustained by the Lord, Lord.
That's why there is a Hadith, in which he mentions that when the
when the shahada enjoy this with their souls. They enjoy this How
are they being fed, Allah knows best, right? That when they
enjoying this, they want to tell the people behind them, we'd love
to tell the people behind so Allah Subhan Allah says, Allah tell them
for you. And thus this Quranic verse, He has Allah subhanaw taala
mentioned this, according to narration of Abdullah he minimis
rule there are the Allahu Anhu in Muslim. It says, we asked the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam about this and he said Ottawa home
fee Edgeworth he played in Holdren, their souls are in the
stomach's of these green birds.
Green birds in Jana Lucha canal the corner deal Miranda Bellagio,
the by the ash. There are some lamps that are suspended from the
heavens. That is the place they stay, they stay under the hip
under the harsh of Allah subhanaw taala by these lamps, and from the
Deus Rahu mineral Jannetty hate to shut they can go and enjoy
wherever they want in Jannah and they come back there. So they take
these trips intergender from this landing stage under the action of
Allah subhanaw taala This is according to this hadith of Sahih
Muslim. So
what we understand is this is the special
status that is given to martyrs in the path of Allah subhanaw taala.
Then there's a number of other narrations I'm not going to go
into that right now. But the Prophet sallallahu sallam said
about Jaffa his cousin earlier the Allah on his brother when he was
martyred. He said Ravi to Jaffa Robina Abbey toilet mother can
yell at you to fill Jana Merle melodica that his two arms were
made into wings and he could fly around in Jannah as he wished. So,
that's again another Shaheed who's in that state. Now, the believers,
pious righteous believers will have to separate them from non
pious believers, pious believers. They are also some say that they
are birds in Jannah. They become like birds in Jannah. And they can
go around
that they will hang on to the the trees of Jana and Jana is
essentially trees is essentially lush greenery. Jana is called
Jana, because Jana agenda means to hide and conceal. That's why the
gin nut the gin is called the gem. And because it's this greenery
that was just covering everything that this lush green
for freshness. That's why it's called Jana. Jana is a garden
essentially. That's how it should be translated. We say paradise and
kind of think of buildings maybe, but there are buildings in there
as well. But it's a lot of outdoor because you don't have to worry
about this weather here. Right? This hadith is in Imam Malik
relates this hadith so does Imam Muhammad Messiah etc. And it's a
sign ERATION that the believers they will be like these birds in
Jannah. And they will go and hang on to the trees of Jannah and so
on and so forth. Because they've allowed they've been allowed
they've got access. It's the disbelievers who don't have access
to the first heaven.
Now if no Tamia Rahim Allah He mentioned how the Divinity we
mentioned, we're gonna get a hottie her other HDMI Euro, he
will bet and Phenom II will cover what other way, we also have
Hadith that there is there is the soul will come back to the body.
So it can come back to the body whenever it wants, apparently, or
when Allah wants it to.
And how the body will still feel the pain or the punishment. Again,
how exactly the logistics of all of this works or the dynamics
Allah knows best. We just believe in what our prophets and the
Lord's has told us. Finally, Ottawa who recites among the
believers, that the transgressors, the sinners, what happens to them.
So the Promise of Allah some saw this in one of his dream
ascensions, many of you must have heard this hadith of Rosa Lawson
was taken in a dream ascension, apparently, and he was shown these
these really, really disgusting sites in Ghana, where there was
one man who used to speak lies, he wasn't very considerate about
telling the truth, and hooks were being used by the angels to pull
his cheek and tastes chic from one end to the other, then it would
become fine again. And then they would tear it again, and it's just
being repeated, then you had the other one who, whose face was just
being crushed with a stone every time you came close with just
being crushed, then it would come back together, and the pain that
they would have to go go through in that, then there's the ones who
used to miss the prayer. And that's the one who's whose heads
were being crushed, whose heads were being crushed those who would
miss prayers, then there were the fornicators, who were in that, in
that the nor in that oven, and they would come up with the
flames. And then they would go back down. And there's a number of
others and a number of others there was the other one who used
to who used to usury interest, he was involved in interest. And he
was he had to swim in a sea of blood. So there's that one. So
this is it says that these will be the different types of punishment
that will be shown to them, Allah Allah knows best exactly how that
will work out.
So then you have obviously, the
according to a hadith of Abu Huraira, but the Allahu
unrighteousness it relates that
as for the curfew, and what he will experience, and after his
rule has been taken it it explains a similar way that we've already
decided that then it will feel this punishment, and so on and so
forth. When it comes to children, of believers and disbelievers.
There is some difference of opinion. However, it seems like
the majority, even for children of disbelievers is inclined to the
fact that they will be in Jannah. There are about 10 opinions on
this that we heard hymns in Jannah. There'll be birds in
Jannah. There'll be made into nothing or there'll be tested.
There's many different opinions, but the strongest opinion for both
believers, children are believers and disbelievers is that inshallah
there'll be in Jannah. But the conviction with believers is much
stronger in that case.
So
So having having said all of this, the the main thing for us to
understand is that this is the relationship that we have with our
soul. And the human is not called in son because of the body. And
once we start realizing that, then we will start thinking about the
hereafter a bit more. Because if we focus entirely on feeding and
pampering and preserving our body, then when we have to understand
that our body is going to perish one day, there is going to be a
small amount that will remain from the remains, Allah will recreate
on the Day of Judgment. What's going to happen then on day of
judgment is that after the trumpet has been blasted, and even now the
souls wherever they are, they will all perish as well and so will the
angels, including the Angel of Death, according to his strongest
opinion, then Allah will remain and he will say, Who is there,
that still who is there besides me today, finally, Allah will then
recreate a Salafi Lolly salon, the one who blows the trumpet, he will
blow the trumpet, and from this blowing, now, the second third
glass, everybody will be resurrected. That'd be two blasts
before that, this will be the third blast, and everybody will be
resurrected. Now, it says that there will be water of Hyatts life
giving water is a special water. Right? Somebody can discover it,
it'd be wonderful, but that will shower down. And then Allah will
reconstruct a body from that last particle that is still preserved
of every human being and they will be given bodies again. Now you
also know that in Jana, your your the body you will be given is of a
30 to 33 year olds, which is the prime. You don't want to be given
as a child. I mean, what are you going to do in June? Let's play
around with Lego all day. Right? You want to be given 3033 That's
like the prime. That's why a woman came to an old woman came to the
Prophet salallahu Salam, and said, to make dua for her, and the
Prophet salallahu Salam said that old women are not going to go into
Jannah. And that was the end of it for her she she started crying,
and weeping. And then the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, this was a
joke, this was his part of human, he said, You'll all be young in
Jannah proximately 3033, because that's like the prime and
everybody will be told, everybody will be told so mashallah, you
will be able to really enjoy. This is nothing, right? That's Chyna
but then if that same thing happens in hellfire, then you can
imagine what kind of punishment and pain there is. So we really
pray to Allah, we get encouraged by Janna. But then at the same
time, we balance it with the fear of hellfire so that we don't take
too much of this. Now, the last point to finish off with they say
that for the most of your life, you should be more fearful so that
it drives you but at the end of your life, towards the end of your
life, you know, when you can't do much now, you may be just getting
by, you may be being served by others, because you can't even
move anymore, that at that time shaytaan tries to create extra
fear. I've seen this myself there was an old person, really nice man
in our community. He started thinking the wildest of thoughts
yet he was such a confident individual before religious spent
his as far as I remember, in the masjid, as far as I remember every
salad is interesting, right? But he's having these weird thoughts
and these were shaped on tries to do he makes you despondent, so
that you say something crazy, and you spoil everything, because the
person who loves him said in the murder will have a team actions
according to the ending actions according to the ending states, so
you we all have time, doesn't matter how bad we've been before.
Or how about anybody who's been before have hope at the end? Do
something because Toba wipes out everything at that moment and then
become enlightened but the person who makes Toba is like the one who
has no sin Subhanallah and that is valid until the soul until the
angels come and you start seeing reality then everybody wants to
make Toba. But then it's too late even fit our own. They say try to
make Toba at that time when he saw reality. And it says Allahu Allah
minimum in the in the series, that the angel had to shove something
down his throat to stop him just so that Allah doesn't have mercy
on him because that's the Mercy of Allah. They know the Mercy of
Allah that Allah could even forgive if he wants to even the
Pharaoh. So if that's the case with Pharaoh, that the angels had
to do this for Pharaoh so that he doesn't utter any good words at
that time. Because he was such a bad guy. Then can you imagine for
us who claim to be followers of Mohammed Salah Pharaoh used to say
and Abu Kamal Allah, I am your highest Lord. What we do is we go
into such that and we say so how hon Allah glorified be our Lord
Most High. So can we not expect better from Allah subhanho wa
Taala Allah subhanho wa Taala really give us? Allah help us
Allah preserve us and Allah subhanho wa Taala give us that
balance in this world. Give us an understanding and allow us to
remember our death and allow us to that mortality to become a reality
in our life understanding of that, and Allah help us with that one
and hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
