ascertain what I start with the moon, my dear respected brothers
and sisters, it's really nice to be in your midst today in this
masjid, in the center of Oslo, and may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept
our being here today. And may Allah subhanaw taala make this the
means of our elevation in his sights. And thus, in the era that
we get to a better place in sha Allah. Because this entire world,
this entire world, we all know we're gonna die one day, there is
just no difference of opinion.
However, we also know that some of the richest people in the world,
especially from Silicon Valley,
the the the person who
I think it's the one who developed paper, they are putting huge
amounts of money to try to see if life can be prolonged, or life can
actually be revived. And that's why I believe it's in either the
UK and Russia or London or the US and Russia where you can actually
get yourself cry out cryogenically frozen. When you die, you can get
yourself cryogenically frozen in the cylinders, anybody interested?
It's a good business to go into. Because those people who pay you
to do that they're going to be long gone, whether they you know,
whether there's going to be any cure found or not. So, basically,
you're just guaranteed that you will be left in a freezer in a
cryogenically cooled freezer. And then if one day they find a way to
re manufacture the soul, the rule
rule in Islam, according to many other minds, defined as Jason
Latif, and
Yejide, or yesterday, Phil, Bethany, Kasara, and Wilma if you
do the laughter, which means that the soul is this very subtle body,
it's a body it's made up of a substance, we can't see it. It's
very subtle, you can't see it. It is in the body infused with the
flesh and everything just like moisture is infused inside a moist
stick. When you have a stick, which is moist, wet, and the water
is inside in every part. But you can't really see the water unless
you squeeze it out. You can't squeeze the rule out. The only
person who has the right filter to squeeze the rule out is medical
boats. So that's basically the reality of our life. The human
being when they're created in this world is a Hadith just mentioned
from Imam Al Bukhari Rahim Allah He relates from our shot of the
Allahu Anhu Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said she says she
heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying, Allahu
julu them which another the souls they are,
they are these contingent armies. The souls have been created by
Allah subhanho wa Taala from many many before the human was created,
the souls were created first. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said
that the souls they have been made into contingents, before the human
being comes into this world, they are in animal Urawa the soul the
body does not exist, but our souls have been created by Allah
subhanaw taala all of them, Allah subhana wa Tada created everybody.
So this Allah subhana wa Tada says in the Quran, we're in a lot of
book I mean many of them I mean to him 30 Yet, well I had the Humala
and foresee him unless to be radical, Allah subhanaw taala is
talking about other Medina salaam, that when Allah created the first
human being, then he extracted from his loins, every single human
being that was to ever come into existence. And then he manifested
Himself in in front of them and he said, Aren't I your Lord? And they
all said, Of course you are. They haven't been polluted yet. They
haven't been corrupted. They don't have any other ideology. They have
a pure primordial ideology. So they say Allah Yes, of course.
That's why we see today that children never deny Allah.
Children find it so easy to believe in Allah even though they
can't think at a very
A complex level, but to believe in a garden, and a being that creates
them, it's they they accept that it's quite easy for them to accept
that. That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also
said that every child who is born Kulu, they knew that while fitrah
he is born on that primordial nature, I call it natural faith, a
pre a, a propensity to believe, because they have witnessed Allah
subhanaw taala from the soul.
Then the Hadith says that the parents turn them into Christians,
Jewish mediums, capitalists, liberalists, whatever names you
want to give
the province the last one, he said three names, I'm adding by the
names myself.
So
what happens then is that the Urwa, the souls that Allah has
created, they are in the place of the salts called ilevel Urawa.
That's where they are. This hadith is about that. This hadith in
Bukhari says that the souls are all in, in these contingent forces
for matter out of a minha della, or Mirtha, Nakata, minha. Allah.
That's why
whichever two souls recognize one another,
then they will generally find friendliness, harmony and
congeniality between them.
And those which don't find familiarity between them, they
will turn from one another turn on turn against one another, or turn
away from one another. Have you noticed that sometimes you go to a
new place, and you see somebody, and it's very easy to get to like
that person, and you become friends with them, it's very easy.
But then there's other people that it seems more difficult. That's
why the other might explain this, that this is what the hadith is
all about, that maybe your souls your rule, work was close together
in either one, or Wha, that's why it's easier for you to become
friends, or be close together, and with others is a bit more
difficult, it doesn't mean you will never become friends. You
just have to try harder. That's why sometimes I just want to
mention something sometimes, let's just say you are working
somewhere.
Or you have a relative, you have relationship with somebody, or
you're working somewhere, or you are studying somewhere. And
there's somebody in your class, somebody who works with you.
Nothing wrong with them, they haven't done anything wrong to us.
But because they do something strange. We just find it difficult
to be nice to them. Maybe it's the way they look maybe whatever the
case may be maybe the way they dress or whatever the case is, and
they don't I mean they're not actually weird. I mean, there's
some people who are like really weird but I mean, these people is
just you know, other people are fine with them. But we have
sometimes have that that's where Imam Shah Ronnie Rahim Allah, He
says that for the people of Allah, they will never neglect somebody
just because their nature does not find it congenial to be with that
person. For one year of Allah for a person who wants to be close to
Allah, they give the do right to everybody. Even if Taborn even if
by their nature, they don't feel inclined to somebody.
They will feel in themselves that no, this is wrong. The person
hasn't done anything wrong to me. I shouldn't neglect them just
because of maybe he blows his nose too much. Maybe, you know, it
could be anything quirky that they do, but this is not the way to
deal with somebody.
This is what we talk about going beyond your selfishness, beyond
your biases, and to be fair and good and insana true insulin to
everybody, because this is how Rasulullah sallallahu it was
almost okay now to come. Now, as we know, when the husband and wife
come together, and the embryonic stages begin, there is no rule.
It's just a clot of blood. Allah subhanho wa Taala says that the
Hakuna Matata mudra then Casona is then embedded and then there's a
form for console river Malama. So initially the whole formation it
tells you about how the embryo is formed. There's no Rohingya then
there's a hadith in Sahih Muslim which says Abdullah but it was
true that in the Allah Han who relates that when it is about 120
days, the angel comes from Allah subhanho wa Taala and that angel
writes how long this particular embryo when it comes into the
world we live what your
how long you will live a Jeju. It writes also a Chaka Yun I'm sorry
you don't whether they
This person is known to make good choices and will eventually become
fortunate in the hereafter May Allah make us from them. Or they
will become shocky, human, wretched, miserable in the
hereafter. So the your wealth, your sustenance is written, your
life's lifespan is written, and whether you're going to be good or
bad, that's going to be written. This is the time the other ma say,
when your soul which came before our body, and it was an honorable
Urwa it becomes linked to the body at about about 120 days, give or
take. That's what the Hadith mentions 120 days, third
trimester, this is when the soul connects from the body now the
connection is made. Now this is why abortions are haram after
this. They are wrong even before but in certain cases, they are
allowed in Islam before 120 days if there's a serious case, not
just for you made a mistake, right? You know, I forgot to use
something or whatever the this is an accidental, you know, no, we're
not talking about that. Don't Don't get me wrong. But after 120
days, because we consider this is a living being now still in the
mother's stomach.
Then, of course, when you come into this world, then this is the
world of test.
Now, our focus today is about what happens after death. So I'm not
going to talk too much about this life.
We're going to talk about the hereafter Inshallah, I just wanted
to explain where the rules started from. Now you all have a good idea
that the rule has created first from before all of our rule is
created first, all of our souls that each one of us our bodies are
created in the mother's womb, and then add 120 days or so this rule
becomes connected to the body inside. And then finally we come
into this world and we live in this world for as long as it's
been written for us. And when the agile, agile means when the moment
the time comes that Allah has appointed, then the death cannot
lie, you're stuck. You're all uncertain when I stopped the moon,
it can't come before or after it must come on that time it is
known. That's why now let us look at this one Hadith which I have
found to be
quite inspiring. There's a hadith that's related by imam in no
humble Rahima hula from Bara Hypno as the booty hola Juan de Sahabi.
This is what he says. He says that muscle allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said that when it is the last moments of a person, he's
going to talk about the righteous person. And he's gonna talk about
the sinful person, the Muslim, the cafe, the believer, the
disbeliever. That's this hadith is about that is it's a it's a hadith
related by Imam Muhammad.
It says that when the believing person is about to depart from
this world, which means that it is his urgent his time is here now.
We don't know our time is here. It could be the next moment. We never
know. Sometimes we have an idea if you're very sick.
My uncle recently passed away he was a Muslim. He was a righteous
man. Right? He passed away about just over a month ago, the last
few weeks of his the last few weeks of his. He said he kept
saying that I want to die in this and he had he had a bit of
Parkinson's disease. He said I would like to die with this
disease. The reason is that if I die with this disease, I'll be
considered a martyr shahid. Because the prophets of Allah
Islam said, if you die with the disease, then you're like a
martyr. Even though you're not killed in the path of Allah,
meaning in in the fighting sense, but you're still like a martyr of
the hereafter. There are approximately 70 Excuses by which
a person is considered a martyr in this world, even if they're not
fighting, right. So there's many ways of becoming a martyr To be
honest, right? One is if a woman dies in pregnancy giving birth, a
person dies because they were in an accident, in any kind of non
natural means.
Except suicides. Suicide is haram. But in any other natural means, if
a person dies, generally they are considered a Shaheed not a child
of this world, but a Shaheed of the hereafter. The person who dies
fighting in the path of Allah, that's the person considered
Shaheed of this world and the hero of these different rulings for
that I just want to mention that just technically speaking.
So he was saying this, then,
the night he passed away,
or the morning he passed away, in the nighttime, he called his
brother and he said, Look, this is time to go now for me. And my, my
other uncle said to him, don't speak like this.
Two days before he died, he took my auntie, his wife to the bank.
He said, Come on, we're going to the bank. He was actually
He was supposed to be sleeping. And she was resting Sunday he came
and he said, Come on, come on, get up, get ready. And he was already
we're going to the bank. She said, why? said I'll tell you. So they
went to the bank. And he forgot to take his ID. But there was
somebody in the bank who recognized him. So they allowed
him to withdraw cash.
And he gave it to her. He says, okay, one envelope. This is for
the Rohingya. And this, you need to keep this because you're going
to be needing this, and make sure you watch carefully how to
withdraw money, because you're going to need to do this.
There was only I think he was only 62 or 63 years old or something,
right.
So
that evening, then I said he called his brother, there's lots
of things that have happened, he went specially to meet his sister.
And he especially went to meet a few people that he had never gone
to visit before because they will have friends of his father, he
went to visit the house, so many things. And then after that, on
the last night, he went to sleep. And then they woke up maybe about
three, four o'clock, and he did the 100 prayer for a few hours.
And then after that, it was Fajr time. He prayed Fajr prayer at
home because he was sick. He didn't go to the masjid he prayed
Fajr prayer at home. And then his wife said a he said let's, you
know, they said let's have breakfast, but he didn't want to
go down because he was feeling very weak. So he slipped off the
bed onto the ground. And it was just a small space on the ground.
And he said this is exact amount of space in a grief. This is what
he said. So my auntie went down to make breakfast, you know, maybe 20
minutes, whatever. And she called out to him, but he wouldn't
answer. So she took the breakfast up. When they went upstairs. She
again called out to him but he wouldn't respond. So she went into
the room and she saw that he was lying on the floor, not moving.
But she didn't think too much about it. You know, she didn't
think too much about it. She put the brakes on she started making a
show like
this was after sunrise, probably. So she started to do salad. She
did some salad and then she opened the Quran she started reading.
Then after about an hour. She said no, no, no, this, you know, now I
must I must face up to this. So then, when he didn't respond
again, she quickly called My other uncle, his brother and he came
rushing over they called the ambulance and they discovered that
he had passed away. Right. So there's a lot of people who know
that they're going to die. They have an intuition.
in Madina Munawwara I've got a friend in America who is
originally from Madina, Munawwara he's originally Indian, but his
father went to Madina Munawwara as a 12 year old child in a ship. As
a 12 year old child, he hidden the ship and went to the hot domains.
And then he stayed they became an engineer. He also worked on the
expansion of the horn.
So his wife, they live in Madina Munawwara she was very sick. Her
sons wanted to take her to ginger because ginger has better
hospitals to go and have a checkup. She didn't want to go but
they insisted so they took her when they got to Jeddah, they did
the checkup and now they're way back there on the way back to
Madina. Munawwara How far is Madina? Munawwara from gender on
by car, it's about four hours, right four to five hours. As
they're going back. She kept saying, are we in Madina?
Munawwara Yeah. Are we there yet? Are we there? Yeah, she kept
asking that all the way through as soon as they got to Madina,
Munawwara and they passed the jobaline which is the boundary of
Madina Munawwara and they told me, yes, now you in Madina, Munawwara
she passed away.
She passed away. Some people have an idea Allah gives it to them. I
have not interviewed anybody like that to find out how they know.
Right, but nobody knows for certain. But Allah in the Olia
Allah He loves often and even when we know that, from the Quran, that
the Olia of Allah, the people who are righteous, and may Allah make
us from among them, the people who are connected to Allah regardless,
they don't have to fear and they will not grieve because Allah
looks after his friends, the when he is a friend of Allah. He is my
worry, he meaning he is my friends. That's what when he means
only is a plural of wedding.
So this hadith says that when a believing servant is about to
depart from this dunya, meaning his time is close, he is about to
go to the hereafter. There is a whole contingent of angels that
come because they know the timetable. For them, they've
already been given orders that you must go to this place because
that's the time this is not the Angel of Death. This is another
group of angels by the way, this is not the Angel of Death, not
multiple modes, not Israel or Israel. This is a another group.
They are the carrier angels they deal with the soul once it has
been taken out. They go to this person, they come with very white
faces. It is as if their faces are shining like this.
I'm cutting the wood you have a shrimps. That's what the Hadith
mentions Maha gefallen been accidentally Jana wahana don't
mean hello to Jana. They come with a cavern that is a coven of
paradise. And they come with hundreds you know the the
fragrance that you put on the deceased person they come with
from paradise.
They come from paradise with that. They come and they say they sit
the eyes distance from the person so they sit within a shot. Right
muddled bizarre.
Then the angel of death comes through Meiji or Malakal mouths,
right? These people are different. The medical mouth comes and he
comes and sits at the head of the person. Now because it's a good
person, he comes in a nice way looking elegant, looking,
pleasing, welcoming. And then he says a year to her enough super
yerba
Oh, pleasant soul. Oh, beautiful soul. Oh, rue de la Mahabharata
min Allah, He worried one come out
to the forgiveness of Allah and His happiness. What a beautiful
way. What a beautiful way. You're not like somebody you're sleeping,
right? If you're sleeping, sometimes Come on, wake up, wake
up, wake up, and you get jerked out of your sleep. You don't feel
like waking up. You might even swear at the person who's waking
you up. But if you are woken up somebody comes and says you know
my son, my daughter, whatever my brother come on, it's time to wake
up your breakfast is ready. You know, you feel like getting up
because he was eased out. And if this angel comes particularly for
that reason, then Subhanallah
so
it says that now the soul comes out to see Luca moto Cyril
patrulla, two min fi a CEPA. Just like you know, when you pour water
from the under water comes out of the just the way it drops out.
That's how the soul will just flow out easily. Right? So the person
will not feel agitated right at the moment. You couldn't be
agitated before that. When your sickness, some people are dying
out of sickness because maybe they're having a massive,
turbulent heart attack or something you will feel that you
do feel pain, even earlier, feel pain. That's why if you look at
the soul of allah sallallahu sallam, he had a huge amount of
pain, the kinds of headaches that he went through the would you call
it the fever that he went through that automatically Allahu Anhu
says Wow, carrabba abba wa acaba about what pain my father is going
through. But the prophesy Lawson said don't worry, Allah carrabba
Allah be covered, they have a beekeeper that has to do. After
this day there will be no pain on your father. So you can go through
pain. Somebody being in pain at their death doesn't mean they're
an evil person. It's when the soul is being extracted that is what
matters. So now now, the soul is coming out as soon as the angel of
death takes out the soul for either a hover her looking at her
all her fear, the heat or for terrain, the angel of death takes
that takes the soul out. But that group of angels, they don't leave
it in the hands of the Angel of Death. He's done his job. They
come and they take it from him. And they for your journey who have
either Nikhil coffin they put him into that Guffin they have brought
they put those nice fragrance substance from Jana, they put that
on him. And he comes out to be enough hottie Miskin woody that
Allah when he comes out smelling like the best fragrant must that
you can find on the earth. We can't see this though. Sometimes
Sometimes the disease lets out a good odor that people feel
sometimes. You hear all of these stories about righteous people
that from the grave, there's a fragrant scent that is coming up.
Sometimes you hear that story, but not always.
So now these people they take it for Yes, I do. And they take this
this soul, and they go and they rise with it up to the heavens.
Every single group of angels that they pass, they all wonder who is
this room belong to Who does this belong to because they can just
see it's a wonderful room that they take up.
So they say fuller and fuller they give him a wonderful name. So and
So son of so and so daughter of son and so so and so.
Each of the heavens in number there's seven heavens, each of
those heavens they open up in welcome in welcome until it says
until it goes to the top most one Osama Serbia, the seventh term.
When it goes there. Allah subhana wa Tada then says, book taboo
Kitab IBV L D.
Write the name of this sermon of mine in the lien. The lien is the
register of the greatest people up in the seventh heaven. If you can
get your name in there, Allahu Akbar.
It's better than any PhD you can get, it's better than any other
award you may be looking for in this world, get any other award in
this world that you want hamdulillah it's not haram
necessarily get a Nobel Prize, nobody gives them outright, right?
Get Muslim should get Nobel Prizes. But the prize that
everybody should get is this one as well. This is not a mutually
exclusive price. It's a prize that you can get. As long as you see
the Muslims, the believers, they just need to have a double focus
in life, a focus for this world, but for the sake of the hereafter.
So we achieve for this world, but for the sake of Allah. So it's
like you work, but you also benefit there.
This foolishness is if we only work for this world exclusively,
because there's no, there's no permanence to this world. We know
that ourselves, but we work for it as though we are permanent. So
work for this world, but for the sake of the Hereafter with the
best intentions, and the way that Allah has shown us and wants from
us. Now what happens is, Allah tells that this room, this room,
this person's name must be written in there indeed. So
then he says, Once that's happened, then he says, now take
him back to the earth, because from the earth have I created Him
and to the earth, I must return him and from the earth, he must be
then come, he must then be extracted. So that's why he says,
or II do who is allowed for in the minha HELOC to whom we have or a
new home woman, her UK region Tara and okra, and those are the that's
the kind of dua we make when we're from the soil into the grave. You
know, you've done a burial. That's where you say me now for the
Anelka or Vianne, or a Dooku. I mean, have no furniture, but just
to remind ourselves that our origin is the soil.
So then it mentioned that that His room is brought back to his body.
Now, let's understand this for a while, you have the body who just
died, right? You had the body who just died, the room was extracted
by molecular motor it came out of the body.
The other angels took the route and went up to the seventh heaven.
So the body is still here. That's why we don't find the body
missing. While all of this is happening, the body is still there
in front of us we're looking at the body we're sitting around the
body. The rule has had this journey is gone. If it's a good
person, it's gone up to the seventh heaven and now it's come
back and now it's in the body now you know we would have taken this
body with a gun hosel we would have we would have washed it we
would inshallah shroud it and everything and prepare it for
burial. The body stays with us. The roof is what went up and it
came back. So it says Fedora the roof roof. He just said the fire
it he made a carny for us. And now when does the roof come back into
the body.
It comes back when we've been buried into the grave.
You've been buried into the grave. The soil you sell the Torah
barley, the Torah, the soil has been put, and they read whatever
two hours they're gonna read, and they've gone away. It says that
the soul the body, the soul in the grave will hear Karani to him. You
know their movements, they're walking their footsteps. The
hadith mentions that there's another sahih Hadith which
mentions that after the Battle of butter, when 70 of the Qureshi
enemies were killed and thrown into the world, the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam went to that well, and he said, Amma widget to
me were adorable come haka. Didn't you find what your Lord had
promised you to be true? So the Sahaba were quite surprised. They
said, Are you can they hear? You're speaking to the dead can
they hear? He says man to be smart. aminu young don't think you
can hear better than they can. Which means that they can hear.
And then there's the other Hadith which talks about that when the
when we go to bury somebody, we bury we finish and then we start
returning they can hear our footsteps. This proves that people
in the grave can hear all of this proves that they can hear.
So now the point is, the row had gone up. The body had been
prepared with us. We buried it, closed it up, and we moved away.
The route comes back into the body and then the angels come the
angels of the grave. What are the names?
One current Nikki now the Moncure Nikki they come for Yachty Hey
Monica Annie for usually Sandy. They make him sit up however that
is right. Allah knows best how they make him sit up because
that's another world. And then they asked the questions, man
rockbrook Medina, and Madhava Yanni Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, they asked those three questions. So can you see what's
happening now what happened to the soul? What happened to the body?
This is if it's a good person. If it's a bad person, it's similar
but it's a bit different.
If it's a if it's a
This believer or non believer, it says that there's a another group
of people, another group of angels that come that look different.
They don't look they don't come with a coffin from gentlemen.
And the mother could mode the Angel of Death comes in a very
very terrorizing form. So the expat experience starts already.
As soon as the soul is extracted by the angel of death, this group
takes the room
and
they say, as they pass one of these other angels on the way they
said Maha the rural Hadith. What is this corrupt rule? This ugly
rule this despicable soul? Who is this ugly soul? They keep asking
that? They asked for the first door of the heavens to be opened?
But Falah use the hula is not over. No, you can't you can't let
this come inside of there. You know, sometimes we see somebody
very dirty and we say we you know, you shouldn't be coming to the
Mercy This is a pure place. You can't come into a pure place. You
don't like people like that coming into your own houses. So this room
is not allowed up there. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam recited
law to Fattah, whom was
the whole moon and Jen, why are the hormonal Jen
regional Chairman Luffy send me to clear up. The doors have opened
the doors of Paradise will not be open for them led to the tabula
mobile Jana Ababwa, not paradise, forget paradise. And what were
some of the doors of the heavens will not be opened for that room
to be able to elegantly go up to the top and they will not enter
paradise until the the camel is able to enter through the eye of a
needle which is an impossibility.
So what happens is Allah subhanaw taala then says, up to kita Abba
houfy See gene, fill out of this SoFlo write his name in the low
record book in the end Earth. That's the book of all of the bad
people. It's the it's the what they call the blacklist. The very
bad and it's the very bad blacklist. It then says for tooth
for tooth Rahu Tarhan so his his soul is flung down.
There's no There's no honor in his soul, it's flown down.
And that's why the Prophet sallallahu then recited uomini
Shinnick, Billahi fucka and Han Romanus.
But of all who are you, we re houfy My current news he that
anybody who ascribes partners to Allah, it is as though he's just
been flung from the heavens and then the and then the birds they
pick out at him and wind, it just blows his his him too far off
distance. Anyway, his soul also comes back into the body, by the
time the body goes back goes in is buried into the soul into the
grave. And here, the angels they come and they start asking him the
question, then we know from different Hadith how different
people react. So the other Hadith mentions
that when it's a good person, the angels will come looking very
beautiful. And they'll start saying, Who is your Lord? So you
will say, Allah is my Lord. I knew about this. Allah is my Lord, who
is your what's your dean? My dean is Islam, he'll be very confident.
Who is this? They'll show you a form of Rasulullah sallallahu Oh,
this is Rasool Allah, you've never seen him before. But you'll just
figure it out. It's like, you have a smart sense, a sixth sense which
will come into effect. If it's a bad person, then it will be said,
they will be said What's, who's your Lord? How ha did he like hi,
hi. I don't know, like, you know what's going on? I don't know. I
didn't. I didn't focus on these things. I don't know. A teacher of
mine. His mother, very old. She said to him, Can you teach me the
response to give to the angel in Arabic? So I can give a response
in Arabic? You know, Monroe book, right? Give me how do I say rugby
Allah, like he didn't know that she was Gujarati Indian. She
didn't know how to respond. So he said to his Well, I can teach you
but I don't know what language is going to work in them. It's going
to be the language of your affairs, your Eman. So whether
it's you're actually going to speak in words Allah knows best.
It's your response of agreement, acknowledgement, acceptance, or
denial. I don't know. Right? That's why for those who
understand Arabic, they'll understand this next joke I'm
mentioning there was a grammarian.
In order grammarian is right, and now we have
My son who's a master of the Arabic grammar.
So it says this I don't know if this is a joke obvious he says
that when he went into this grave, and the angel asked him Monroe
book, he said Monroe,
Monroe book, Monroe book.
This don't make sense in English. I don't know if it makes sense in
Norwegian, but in Arabic it makes perfect sense. Right? But he says
Monroe book Who is your Lord?
Say said Monroe book, which means the one who is your Lord, because
the word man in Arabic can be used for a question. And it can also be
used to say the one who is right. Likewise, Medina look, what is
your needs and Medina?
It means the same thing,
which is your what is your deed? The one which is your deed?
But that's obviously a joke. I don't think that now who is going
to be playing with his novel at that time I tell you that I don't
think he's going to forget all of his grammar, because this is
something more important. That is the state of the soul.
Now it's for us to understand that how do you think our souls are
going to be treated?
Our soul is going is that special, nice group of pleasant angels
gonna come with the special cuffin from paradise. And the special
fragrance, that once the molecule mold takes our soul that is going
to say give us the soul and we're going to be in sha Allah, welcome
to the heavens. We ask Allah that based on this Friday evening. When
you have all turned up here and we have congregated here, I ask Allah
subhanaw taala from the bulk of this modulus, that Allah subhanaw
taala grant us that.
Allah subhana wa Taala grant is that.
Otherwise, why else are we sitting here? That's not a benefit that we
can gain.
If we're sitting here for any other reason, then it's a waste of
time. If we can't benefit us in the Hereafter, then what's the
point? So we ask Allah to make this a blessing gathering in which
every one of us will inshallah be treated in this way, in sha Allah,
can you know, enough Selma Inna, in sha Allah, we ask Allah
subhanho wa Taala for assistance.
Right now, what happens to the soul? Now?
Let me explain a few more things. Now. In this world, you see, what
is a human being to you? By the way? What is a human being? How
would you define a human being an insert?
Somebody gives me a good rough idea of what a human what a
concern is? Who wants to who wants to give me a quick definition?
What are the is no, that's a kind of
holistic, give me like, from a component perspective, what is a
human being in terms of what he's made of, in this world, in this
world, as the sister told us, we have the body, the human body, the
human is just body and soul, right body and soul,
without the soul, and it's just the body, you don't call that a
real person. And we can't have the soul on its own. Because we just
can't relate to that without a body. If somebody doesn't have
ears, or somebody cannot see, do we still call that person a human
being? Yes, we do. Those are additional things. But the core
essential components of a human is body and soul.
Now, in this world, we've got three worlds to worry about.
Because in the first world of other one Urwa, there was only a
soul and nobody in this world, we've got a soul and a body that
has come together. Then we've got the next slide, which is when we
die, that's the nest. Next slide, that one extends to the Day of
Judgment when everybody will be resurrected again. So we've got
the second the between this life, and the life of the Day of
Judgment is what you call
the you call that the Intermediate Realm. It's like a place between
two lives, right? in which those who die, they go to that life,
they go to that phase, that realm, whatever you want to call it is
called birth. So lots of people are currently in the personal, all
of those people from other medicinal and Tinder who have
died, they're all in the buses, we will also go to the bazaar.
Eventually, everybody will be in the Baroque when TIAMO will take
place because everybody will then die including the angels,
everybody will be in prison. Then Allah will have the trumpets blown
again the second time and then everybody will be resurrected for
the Day of Judgment. That's the fourth life them all right. Now
that's the fourth flight the Day of Judgment and then paradise and
hellfire. So you understand No, there was our level Urwa the Soul
Life only soul, this life soul plus body Barza soul plus body
Kiama soul plus body. And then Janet and Johanna soul plus body
So soul and body are now together. But there's a difference in this
body, sorry, in this world, the soul and body, the body is
primary. The soul is secondary, we're connected. But we mainly do
things with our body. Our soul is secondary, right? It's there, but
it's subordinate, body's primary. When you go into BUZZA, the soul
becomes primary, and the body is secondary. And I'll tell you the
benefit of that. Not everybody is buried. Lots of people are eaten
up by animals crushed to death, lots of people voluntary having
had themselves cremated, but into ashes, there's only a few ashes
left.
So you might have a question.
That if the question if Monroe book Medina, these questions are
going to come in the grave? What about if you don't have a grave?
What about if you have been eaten by a whale, drowned in the sea?
Allah forbid or cremated. There's no grave for you as such, there's
no body. So what happens? Well, because the soul is primary, now,
the soul plays its part. Now the body said if there's a body of
100, like there's no body, no problem. Because the soul is
primary now that's where the questions is gonna come. And then
if Allah wants, He can create another body on your right day if
he wants to punish it or whatever, but the soul will feel the pains
or pleasures of the grave, the grave, as we know from the hadith
of Earth man, or the Allah one is either a garden of paradise, or it
is a pit of *, because that is the first stage of the hereafter.
Let me just tell you a few other things in of you, whose take, who
remembers the last exam that they took where they worked very hard
for the exam, they went into the exam chamber, they wrote the exam.
And when they came out, they were either very happy because they
confirmed that they got everything right. You know, sometimes you're
in an exam and you've written your answers. You've just come out, and
somebody says, you know that question number five, I was having
a bit of trouble. It was the answer. It was this answer. Yes. I
got that answer. How good you feel? You feel wonderful. And what
about if you came out? And somebody told you? You know, the
answer to that was a very tricky one. But the answer was this one,
look, look in the book. Oh, no.
How do you feel?
You feel so bad that you can't go back in the exam and change in
Kenya, you can do another exam, you can retake an exam. When the
person leaves this world when the soil is taken out, what is
mentioned is that the hockey cut becomes clear.
The hockey gods. So
everything that is supposed to be reality, that there is Allah,
there is a hereafter. All of that becomes clear to a person.
If their previous life was the same as what's now become clear to
them, they they have a beautiful sensation. This is what you call
horsnell Harding, a beautiful scenic state, a beautiful ending.
When you come out of the exam, you're leaving this world, there's
no going back and you fill up hamdulillah what I did, there is
exactly what the reality is. Now if it turns out that everything we
did was actually
different to what now we are seeing as the reality at death,
everybody will face the reality everybody. There's no hiding from
it. Because you live in this world and all the all the veils are
lifted, you can see things for the way they are. There is a God yes,
there is a God, did I believe in a god? No, I didn't. I am in big
trouble now.
That's what you call Sue will hurt you an evil seething state, an
evil ending. And that's why one of the biggest things that people
would ask for the moment ask what is personal hajima personal heart
in my personal heart, we ask Allah for a good seeding state, because
there is no going back afterwards if it's a bad seeding state. So
anyway, very quickly now,
in the grave, you ask the questions, then the grave is a is
a strange place, although the humans just see it as six foot you
know, whatever, this this large, and eventually, you know, the soil
goes down and all the rest of it, but for the person inside, there
are different opinions as to where the soul goes now. Because the
body stays there, it gets decomposed, it gets all you know,
decomposed into the earth, right? Saga, you know, saga, or Aladdin
or whatever the case is. But what happens to the soul now?
What happens to the soul? If not, Rahim, Allah has this great book
called Kitab a rule in which he's discussed this in detail. I'll
just give you a summary. He says some room there's difference of
opinion, but I think what it is is that the souls of the Gambia they
go up to Allah subhanho wa Taala is some Hadith clear Hadith. I
won't
Are you into them right now? Because we don't have time. But
for example, I shared with your loved one how she recalls that
when the professor was was passing away, he kept saying Allahumma
rafiqul Arella Allahumma raffia colada. Oh Allah with the highest
Friend of Allah with the highest friend, which means that he was
being given a choice. He was choosing to be with the highest
friend from this they take the understanding that the prophets
souls are going to be with Allah however that is. Then we know from
the Quran about the shahada, the martyrs what attacks the Mandela
Dena Portillo visa vie Allah I am water, but here in the lobby him
years upon, do not ever consider those who have been marked in the
path of Allah to be dead, they are very much alive surely they are
alive and they are being given sustenance by the Lord. So they
are also by Allah. Then we have some narrations which say that the
souls the souls of some good people are marked as they are in
green birds flying around Jana. So some people are allowed some souls
are allowed in general your bodies in the ground, but your soul is
injured and for some people, other people they're not allowed
intergender thereby Bible gender. They are by the door of gender.
They're not allowed inside. But alhamdulillah they're still good.
Some people are in fina origina on the courtyard outside Jana, and
some people are some some some salts are just with their grades.
They're not allowed to go up there. It just depends on how good
or bad you are. That's what the rhythm I mentioned. So now to fast
forward.
The the Trumpet will be blown. When the last day comes, there
will be people left on earth most people have died but the last
people on earth they will be there. And suddenly, Allah
subhanho wa Taala will tell isa Filardi so not to blow the
trumpet. When the trumpet is blown, then
everything now we'll find any parish, the heavens that have
either some mountain shepherd in the summer and Fatah rot, and
walking and have an earlier order these days of judgment and how the
true event will occur, and work in the thing which is going to take
place, and we'll carry out the thing which will knock you down,
that all of these are just names of piano that when these will
happen.
When that happens, everything will finish the angels will be left
Allah subhanaw taala will tell the Angel of Death to put all of the
other angels to death, all the other angels will die, then there
will be just Gibreel mica dystrophy, an angel of death. Now
there's some difference of opinion whether who goes last. Some say
Jamila is not will be the last of the angels to perish. Some say it
will be medical boats, Allah knows best. Eventually there's nobody
that remains alive except Allah. And he will then announce where
are the kings of the world? Where are the rulers of the world,
there's nobody to unsane then after a time, Allah will bring
back the Salafi. Larissa, tell him to blow the trumpet again, he will
blast the trumpet again. And now the souls will be recreated and
they will come and link to the bodies we will be given new
bodies. Now this is the strange part there are Hadith which tells
you that when we will be resurrected, we will be given
bodies, these bodies will reflect the deeds that we have done.
The people who are arrogant in this world
who is to humiliate others and be proud, they will be in the form of
small ants, people will walk over them people who are lying, they
will come with big tongues and so on and so forth. The people who
used to for the kids, they will come with a particular way the
people who used to eat haram, you know, they come in different ways.
Now what has to happen is that everybody has to go to the martial
because what's happened right now is just the resurrection the
birth. Now you have to go the national the everybody has to be
driven to the gathering place where the hisab will take place.
So you have the birth, you have the Nash national. Then you have
the Gemma, yo Gemma. And then after that the Hisar will begin
and there's a long story about what will happen then everybody
will be waiting down there. The story is famous, everybody will be
waiting down there. The sun will be very close on that day, about a
mile above your head. Right. I know in Norway, you don't see the
sun much. But believe me you don't want to see that sun with just the
mind above our head people who will be sweating like crazy. So
much so that you mentioned that you will have tolerance to the Sun
based or you will have intolerance to the Sun based on our misdeeds.
So the more mistakes some people it says that their sweat will come
to the ankles. Some people that sweat to their knees, some people
to their waist, and other people will just about remain afloat. But
Allah
hamdulillah on that day they will be Sobrato NuVal little Mala V
Lily Yamuna Linda Illa window. There will be those seven
categories at least the people who will be given the VIP lounge in
the shade of Allah subhanaw taala they for them it will be relaxed
for them will be relaxed for them the time will pass in no problem.
Have you ever been to an airport for a transit that is full to the
brim and the AC is not working? And there's not any place decent
to even sit and you've got five hours to wait the
right? You see how bizarre how long that sounds? How long that
feels. And if you have the access to a lounge I remember once me and
my cousin we had points
so we booked at HUD first class, right first class on Etihad is one
of the best first classes out there right from London to Abu
Dhabi you get like a room like eight seats is all yours big
armchair proper bed big TV a nice cupboard with all stuff inside.
And it's you get a door to close yourself so me and my cousin I
didn't pay for it by the way I paid I think only $300 and had
points so that's how I got it right. I would never buy that I'll
tell you that it's just not worth it
you know? And they have a shower inside as well. You can take a
shower
I'll tell you something. I didn't even sleep
I didn't even sleep
it was so fast the trip the seven and a half hours it was so fast
that I was like man this is too quick this is just not worth it.
Now if I was sitting at the back in coach class of my size that
feels like seven hours do you understand but when you're in
first class Believe me it was just so fast that I was like man you
know this wasn't well you need to go to Australia then this way
maybe one day inshallah but you know what I mean? I mean I would
have paid for this just a waste of money business class okay if you
you know if you really wanted you got the money is different story.
But on the day of judgment really I thought about less than I
thought so how long the Day of Judgment people who will be in the
shade will be mashallah they will just be relaxed.
People who are not in the shade, Allah save us, Allah save us, then
the long story, nothing's happening. Then what happens is a
group of people, they will say, Look, we need to do something they
will be some sensible people that they go to other Madison, can you
request Allah to begin the accounting the record? Because at
least you know, they think that at least if the reckoning starts, at
least something's happening. Have you noticed that when you're stuck
in traffic standstill, you feel like you're getting nowhere? But
even if there's a lot of traffic, but you're moving a bit, you feel
like you're getting somewhere even though you're not really getting
anywhere? Right? So it's like that so they feel that at least let's
start in fact some of the disbelievers will say make a
decision for us even if you have to go to * let's get out of
this * they don't know that head is actually worse this is not
even here yet. Allah subhana wa Tada helper see we were laughing
No but Allah help us because that is a serious situation. Then
finally they will go to other Muslim says no, I can't I'm
everybody will be fearful on that day because otherwise some will
remember that he ate from the forbidden fruit, whatever it was,
and he will be what though he's been forgiven. But just knowing
Allah subhanho wa Taala and the respect for Allah, I should not
have even made that much of a mistake. So he will be fearful. Go
to new Hyundai, salaam Marisa will also be fearful. And so on the
long story, Mousavi Salamis I can't do it. I've also said
something Musa is London since the ESA ESA ESA is on won't say that I
made a mistake. But it'll say I know the person who can do this
for you go to Mohammed said the Lord is
now the Oder ma they they look at the Hadith and they say Why is
this? Why couldn't just go to Muhammad Salah and first? Why did
they have to go to other medicinal first, then no. And Musa alayhis
salam and so on? Why couldn't they just go to Muhammad some licen. So
one of the had the he says the reason is that Allah subhanaw
taala even on that day, he loves his prophets. Allah loves them so
much, that he wants to express the greatness of His Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in front of everybody. So he makes
this whole encounter take place. This is one wisdom of this. He
makes them go all of this and find you say Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, he's the one listed Yes, and Allah and Allah, I am going to
do this for you. He will go to Allah and He will intercede and
then he will Allah subhanho wa Taala begin. Now it says that as
people will be sitting with suddenly the Hellfire will be
bought is a huge, huge thing. pulled by 70,000 ropes. Each of
those ropes they say 70,000 Angels of pulling each of those ropes and
the 70,000 ropes and the whole Hellfire is coming screaming
bubbling making these really bad
songs and the people who are there they get even more afraid that
what's going on right now. There's lots of detail about that which we
don't have to go into detail for now.
But once the hisab is done, then the thing we can worry about we
can at least be which we can at least be satisfied about is that
in sha Allah if we gain the intercession of Rasul Allah
Dolores and, and because Rasul Allah, Allah will make a number of
intercessions he will make certain people he will give a decision
that they will go into paradise without any question.
These are the people who used to rely on Allah subhanaw taala. Why
Allah I'm begging you to work in Maya understanding of this hadith
is this. It says that these are the people who did not do any, any
kind of thing that goes against the worker.
You know, right now, I'm feeling thirsty. When you're feeling
thirsty, and you take some water?
Or if you've got a headache, and you take a paracetamol, or if
you're hungry, and you eat a sandwich, do you ever think in
your mind that the person who's making you feel satisfied is
Allah? What do you think the food is making? You're satisfied? Or
the water is making you feel satiated? What do you think?
That who actually thinks when you're eating, I'm really hungry,
give me a give me a chocolate, give me a sandwich, and you eat
the sandwich. Our belief is that the sandwich is benefiting.
And yes, Allah has placed this customer in the world when you eat
something you generally feel for not always, but mostly, right?
Sometimes a person needs to last don't feel full Bismillah may
produce, right? So you do feel full mostly, but not always.
I believe that these 70,000 people that will go without a questioning
will be those people who do not forget Allah at any time, even
when they're doing mundane acts. They believe that Allah is
providing them that ability
or that benefit when they're drinking water, they are actually
Bismillah they actually know that it's Allah who is providing them
the satisfaction, not the water.
But we just doing this as in a style
that's very deep, for a person to be constantly connected to Allah
so you can call your wolf lb, to be always in the Presence of Allah
subhanaw taala that is what the people of the sofa etc, trying to
encourage and get us to become like to get more goof of Allah
subhanaw taala all the time that we're constantly thinking about
Allah. That's the whole purpose of the Muslim to us. Why does the
professor or some teachers before you eat you say Bismillah or
barkatullah When you go to sleep, you say Hola Hola, Mr. Mica and
Muto what I hear, you have to ask for everything when you start
writing Subhanallah the Sahara letter However, we're not gonna do
any way to remind you of Allah at every movement that you make.
May Allah give us that understanding and consciousness of
Allah, then a person is decided to go into paradise and some people
will go to * fire.
A person who's good outweighs his evil.
Most likely they will go to paradise. Unless now look at this.
I asked you a question. Let's say somebody's done huge amount of
good deeds. But they've done some bad deeds. Do you think they
should go to Paradise or not?
You've done mostly good deeds, but some bad deeds? Should you go to
Paradise a lot? Of course, come on, man, give me some you know,
you want to go to Paradise or not?
Hamdulillah you should expect to go to paradise. And that generally
seems like Allah will should allow you and he will allow you because
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, You do good deeds, that will make me
happy. And if I'm happy with somebody, I send them to paradise.
We don't go because of our deeds we go because Allah is happy with
us. But I'll tell you something, there are certain bad deeds, they
are so bad, that although they're small, they will wash out all of
the good deeds. You may have good deeds, and I'll prove this from
the Hadith, the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
saying, a person will come on the Day of Judgment with a big
mountain of good deeds. Problem is that he's been aggressive against
people.
He's been aggressing against people swearing at somebody taking
somebody's right praise, Salah fasting everything. And you know,
the famous Hadith, that suddenly what's going to happen is that the
the people are going to come and challenge him. So he's going to
have to give his deeds away because he has no other currency
to pay on that day. He's going to give over that. They're going to
put their bad deeds on him finally, and he's going to end up
with bad deeds. Sometimes. Do you remember that prostitutes who gave
the dog water to drink she never did anything else good, except
that she gave water to drink to a dog that was thirsty. That one
good deed was so powerful that it canceled out all of our bad deeds,
it was
ignored the bad deeds were
ignored that woman who did lots of prayer and everything, but she
would starve the cat.
She was punished. You don't know which good deed or which bad
deeds. And that's why people should not say oh, it's only a
small bad deeds, it's only a minor sin. The other mentioned that
there are certain bad deeds which if you do them, they will prevent
the Karima they will deprive you of saying La ilaha illa on your
deathbed. They are so evil. One of them is drinking, shut up drinking
wine, intoxicants. Somebody may be even praying Juha and other
prayers. They may be a believer, but they don't mind with their
workers, their colleagues having you know if there's a dinner or
something they have to go to or a business gathering or just to fit
in. You got this. You see in the West, we're challenged with
fitting in this is our one of our biggest challenges. How do we
balance out the demands of our faith? And the tensions with
materialism, capitalism, post modernity
and all of these other challenges that we have around us this is our
biggest challenge. How do you read remain balanced in an unbalanced
worlds? How would you ride this tiger of modernity? How do you
deal with this? This is the difficulty but this is what our
accuracy will depend on. This is what our action will depend on. So
if a person thinks that they can casually
have a few drinks and it's okay.
If you do not do Tober
we are in serious trouble. Because we could be prevented from Kadima
on the deathbed
there are a few things like this, which are serious that we take as
simple.
Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us from those sins, because we don't
know what good deeds that's why any good deeds that you can do in
this world, do not consider them in significance.
And don't try just to do one type of good deed. Don't just try to do
one type of good deed try to do many different types of good
deeds, for example.
Do your personal good deeds, you're solid, you're fasting,
you're surcoat your hygiene and so on. But
that's not only what Islam is, Islam is also to be concerned
about the ummah.
So can you not spend some time in the week doing something for
others?
link up with a Muslim Masjid organization. See what they're
doing a movement that is valid and righteous and doing good work.
Don't not politics, I'm talking about like, you know, good stuff,
right? Don't just don't just connect yourself to a masjid
because you want to be part of the board so that you can call shots.
That's the wrong reason. Go for hikma.
What could what can you do? Whether you're part of the board
or not?
You know, is there something I can do? I'm not sure that we have
brothers and sisters like this. What can we give back? That may be
accepted by Allah subhanaw taala. Remember Allah? One is we have the
FARA in our obligations we have to do.
Allah gives us reward for them. But then there's some others which
are voluntary acts that really shows me care. And if you don't do
that, then where is our selflessness? What are we really
giving back? Whatever you do do something don't just see the deen
is very comprehensive. The deen is made up of belief to be having the
right belief in Allah. Then it's made up of a bar that worship
which is the five pillars that's just one dimension of Islam the
second dimension the third dimension is more armor that is
our dealings with others good. We will be captured for that we will
be reckoned for number four, why Shabbat?
How is our Inter social relationship with our neighbors
animals, the environment? And number five, how is our heart what
is the condition of our heart? There's some people out there who
say it's just about having a good heart. I don't need to really pray
it doesn't matter if I cover properly or not. As long as I've
got a good heart, and some people, they say prayer is most important.
It doesn't matter how bad I'm with people. This is all wrong. The
balance is that you must be good in everything. We ask Allah
subhana wa Taala to enter us into agenda to fit those. We ask Allah
do not ask Him for anything less than gender dividends us agenda to
free those
about the soul about paradise. I think we have about 30 lectures on
zum zum academy.com, which is based on Ibrutinib Rahim Allah is
most famous book called handle Urwa in our beloved in Africa. It
is a book that talks about paradise.
in an amazing way, it's just absolutely amazing. And it's like,
you know, when you want to move to a new place or you want to buy a
new product, you get a brochure, you read up about it, we all want
to go to Jana. So read up the brochure agenda. Don't just say I
want to go to agenda you don't know what Janet is with Janet, you
want. I remember when I talked earlier about doing an extra good
deed,
it will kill you mentioned in there, there's a hadith which says
that the poor person will enter gymnasts faster than a wealthy
person.
The poor person has nothing we're going to gender faster than a rich
person.
So what does that mean? We shouldn't be component? No, the
reason they're going to generate faster is because they have less
forms to fill. You know, if you've got no money, then you don't have
to fill too many forms for taxes as well. The more money you have,
the more forms you have to fill, get accountants find loopholes and
all the other stuff, right. But one thing is, even though the poor
person goes first, when the rich person does go, he will be in a
higher paradise, because he's done a lot more work with the money
that Allah has given him. hamdulillah Allah has given us all
money. So do not think that just because we may have some trouble,
everything comes everything comes. every bit counts. We ask Allah
subhanaw taala to accept us. We ask Allah that He made this, our
sitting here our gathering here, a blessing gathering and an accepted
gathering and gather us together and share my agenda for those who
are still with me. So that they can How should a woman wear her
hijab? I mean, the man, I've heard it's haram to have a high heaven.
It's up to you how you wear your hair. I mean, I can't tell you how
to wear your hijab. I don't have hijab tutorials, right? All I can
say is this, my hijab tutorial is this, that your hijab understand
the spirit of hijab? What is a hijab? For hijab in Arabic means a
barrier, a concealer, the whole point of an hijab is to conceal.
If you use hijab as just another excuse that okay, maybe I can't
show my hair, so I don't have to comb it, I don't have to worry.
But then I can just wear nice hijab is done in these weird nice
ways by looking at all of these weird videos online.
And I can attract attention that way, then clearly, you can see
that that's wrong. So whether you've got a bun or a non bun or
whatever, the main point is, why are you wearing that hijab? And
what is your intention? And how are you wearing it? So don't get
too engrossed in if it's long or tall, or whatever. If somebody has
a lot of hair and their hijab looks high, that's not a problem.
But if they make it high, because they want to seem like a big head,
then that's a problem. Do you understand? If they because
generally, when you got a big head, everybody's gonna look at
you, it attracts people. So really understand that the significance
is not exactly what you do, because some people can do it for
a very righteous reason, because they can't do it in any other way.
The main thing is why you're doing it and be honest with yourself
because that's the that is the main thing. May Allah subhanaw
taala, give Tofik.
When a person dies, many Muslims along with their relatives and
friends read Quran and make dua afterwards, food is also served
after this, they believe the disease will get its rewards. Now,
some people don't do this and think that this is a bit I my
question, is it right to do this? What is your opinion? I'll give
you a very short answer. But Alhamdulillah this book was
actually written for this purpose to explain, you see, when a person
dies, families, loved ones want to do something for them. Although
they've gone, we want to do something for them. And then the
shaytan comes and wants to take this emotion, the sentiment and
take people to do wrong. So what is right and what is wrong in
detail. If you get a copy of this book, it's called what the living
can do for the dead. Right? We've got a few copies outside that will
give you a full detail, but I'll give you the basic answer.
There is a difference of opinion among Kodama
about some worships, can they be donated, their reward be donated
to the dead or not. But there is agreement on other worship. So for
example, Hajj is an agreement, because somebody came to the
Prophet salallahu Salam and said that my mother has passed away. If
she had remained alive, she would have done the Hajj. Can I do hajj
on her behalf? Yes, you can. So Hajj is agreed upon everybody
agreed upon by everybody. Tilawat of the Quran Quran reading, this
is the love. According to many scholars, it's allowed. You can
read Quran and say give the reward of this to the deceased. Some
other must say you can't there's a minority who say you can't so
there's a valid difference of opinion. My opinion is after
looking at the evidence, and that has been discussed in detail here
of all the rhodamine everything has been discussed here. That if
hedges allowed, why shouldn't put on reading be allowed. Hedges
allowed? The Prophet sallallahu Sallam maybe just somebody nobody,
there's no Hadith which prohibits it. There's no Hadith who says you
cannot read Quran for the
debt. If you can do much further debt, then that means you can do
Quran for the dead. Right? That's what they say. And that's the
opinion I go by now there's another problem here.
The this court this is what they call Quran harneys. Right Quran
Quran in Urdu, that's what they call it. The problem with the
Quran honeys is that, by default, they would be allowed. If you've
got no obligation and no fanfare and all of these other problems
with it. What happens is that if somebody doesn't do this, then
everybody says that this is a miserable death. Nobody's prayed
for them. And that's not true. What is important to understand is
that less in our family, what we do is that people are going to
come for condolence for up to three days people sit, the family
sits, I have seen that when there's no nothing to read, notice
be no beads, no Quran, then people sit and just talk about
everything. They don't remember the dead person, they chatter,
they talk about everything they joke around and everything. So in
my family, what we generally do is we have on the site, it says, Read
unread, we have all of these spiders, Quran, just observe the
species and you're seeing, you're seeing small, you're seeing, you
know, copies, whoever wants, they pick up and they read, whoever
wants no force, this people will sit there and just sit and do to
see if they want, they don't have to read anything. But if you want
to read, you take it and then once you finish reading, you put it on
the other side. So it's a casual way, nobody complains, if somebody
doesn't come. The problem in a lot of the country wants is that
everybody must come, they must fly in some times for it. And if you
don't, then they will break relationship with you for the rest
of your life. Because you didn't come to the Quran. Connie, this is
a bitter to think it's necessary is a bitter, to be honest, if you
have to travel from Christiansen or from Bert Bergen or whatever it
is to do a Quran Connie here. You'd rather give that petrol
money. Right? Unless you're driving Tesla's right. You'd
rather give the petrol money for the for the deceased person in
South Africa. The Quran honey can be done from anywhere you know how
we do it. Now, in my, in my family, we've got a male group and
a female group on WhatsApp. Every month we do one fatter. So at the
beginning of the month, somebody will distribute the agenda into
the people, I get one, my juice is 18 My son gets number four and so
on, and others will get that and then you just slowly so once
you've done your juice in the month, you tick it off on there
and you you know it has a list you tick it off. So by the end of the
month and we encourage common finish up quickly. Every month we
finished one job one Quran and then we say the reward of they
should go to all of our disease people and very casual if somebody
can't really say look, I can't do it this one, can somebody take my
juice for me, please, there's no obligation problem is an
obligation feeling bad, and feeling that if you don't do it,
then it's a problem. So in itself, it's permissible. It's what the
obligation and all of that then that is what makes it a bitter. So
Inshallah, if you avoided that is if you if you avoid all of the
harms and wrongs, they say we have to Kuranda it didn't feed us, they
don't have to feed you.
Do you understand? If you make anything obligatory, then it
becomes problematic.
Will the soul stay with the body all the time in the grave? We
don't know that because as I mentioned, for some good people,
their soul goes to paradise. Their soul goes to Allah, it goes to the
Arusha of Allah. So it doesn't have to stay in the grave. It
doesn't have to stay with the body, the soul is primary, it can
go wherever it wishes, if Allah wants it to do that, you mentioned
some groups of people that will have shade on the judgment, could
you briefly mention them?
Somebody is going to have to help me with this to mention them
quickly. Number one is the Imam and either the person who are the
even the leader who is just because when you're in a
leadership position, you have you can abuse very easily. So if you
are very just number two,
the one who is always loving to come into the masjid, right number
three,
the youth who spends their youth in the in the worship of Allah,
who don't dis who don't waste the youth who are always thinking
about Allah dunya which is very difficult all of these seven
categories that are difficult. This is a whole beyond in its own,
so I'm just listing them. Number four is the person who gives
sadaqa with his right hand, his left hand doesn't know which means
they don't show off. Very difficult to do. Number five, a
person in this case the example was of a man but it could be the
other way around a man who is at university or whatever a woman who
is who is supposed to be a hot woman, right that everybody thinks
is a hot woman. She comes and tells you come on. Let's do Zina.
You didn't even have to go after somebody comes and offers you
themselves when you say it tequila, I fear Allah because for
somebody like that, it will be very difficult to say no. And this
person will be given a shade these are very special people. Okay,
next one.
Those
To people who love each other purely for the sake of Allah not
for any other reason
you love each other because only for Allah sake.
Right? That's and you should love each other from nothing and what's
the last one?
Yes, masha Allah, the One who's sitting down one day, and he's
alone, nobody to show and he remembers Allah and His tears
rolled down his eyes. You're watching a YouTube video. You're
watching a spiritual lecture, and you just think to yourself and
then you start weeping.
Father Aina is a start weeping when you're alone. This is these
are the seven May Allah subhanaw taala make us among them.
If a person is destined to go to *, if they're experiencing the
greatest bands, is a person destined going to *? If they
experience a grievous bed, yes, that the grave is the first part
of going to hellfire. That's why Osman Odium used to start crying
when he used to go to the graveyard and he said think if
if this goes well, the rest will go well, if this goes bad, the
rest is gonna go by. It's the same. So the grave is a garden of
paradise or a pit of *. What about people who are Muslims and
have done many bad deeds?
Again, it depends on Allah. If you have bad deeds do Toba don't think
that oh, I've done one particular good deed that Allah loves. You
don't know that. Nobody knows that what that one dude, maybe. But if
Allah wills, He may forgive you.
But he has to see what we have tried to do. That's why that
famous leader, the person who killed 100 people, and then he
actually died before he went to the other area, the angel of
death. And the angel of agenda came the angel of * king. And
although he was closer to hellfire, Allah made him closer to
paradise. So Allah will help you if he sees goodness coming from
you. We have to give a man excuse you can't just do wrong and expect
that it's going to you're going to hit a jackpot or something. You
have to give Allah an excuse. And the way you do that is you do as
many good deeds as possible. Does Allah forgive non Muslims on the
Day of Judgement, Allah subhanho wa Taala the way the theology
works here, like in Christian theology, the Catholics, for
example, that the whole idea is that religions are exclusive in
that sense. There's only perennial ideas which say that everybody
goes to paradise. So the core Muslim belief is that you need
certain conditions to fulfill to go to Paradise, which is believed
in Allah and His messengers, and his messengers.
And a belay will Yeoman of him sorry, man, I'm gonna be like one
mother Ekati we're going to the heroes today he will Yeoman
alcohol country radio show, even Allah insha Allah Almighty, but I
don't know, anybody who believes in those seven they go to jungle.
Right? They will be accepted anybody who doesn't. That's the
straightforward theology, but we leave the rest of Allah subhanaw
taala
I have very much close to throw beer. When I think about death and
time in the grave. Do you have some advice? How to prepare
myself? How can I find peace?
The way to find peace is to do enough good deeds, that you have
some amount of peace. Too much peace is bad for you. If you just
think I'm gonna go to jungles. I don't nothing to worry about. This
is very harmful, and too much
fear where you just don't think you're gonna go to Jana. That's
also bad because that's what she wants us to feel like. So what I
would suggest you do is to read the Quran with meaning. And look
at all of the verses of Jana. And ask Allah to give you gentlemen
that will give you hope. Look at the verses of * and seek
forgiveness from it seek protection from us. You will never
find in the Quran where Allah is only condemning somebody. Or when
Allah is only praising somebody, he always talks about both. If
he's talking about gender, gender agenda, then he will still bring
up hellfire. If he's talking about Hellfire for several verses, it
still will bring about gender and the way to get out of it. So the
more connection you inshallah have with the Quran, the more you will
be able to balance yourself out. To which level can people grieve
when they visit grave? We know that no specific answer but some
people took to the grave and gone beyond what norm beyond what is
normal. Yet, you need to understand that you can only
benefit the best way to benefit a person who has passed away is by
doing good deeds. Right? By giving sadaqa for them by maybe building
a masjid for sadaqa GRE or something like this. There's no
point going and talking to dead people. Do you understand? When we
go to the graveyard we're told that you go and you say Salam
Alikum Yeah, hold on. I told him what we need we know each other.
So Allah then I would have put out here you can say basic things like
this, but you don't go and
do this long.
discussions, I'm really missing you and all that isn't going to
make any difference. If you want to benefit them, then you do good
things for them. If you want to benefit yourself that you're going
to see a counselor,
by going and talking to the dead can make you feel good.
Go and read some Quran consitent do vicar that will give you more
calmness of the heart than going in talking to a dead person,
endlessly for hours. So it has to be a balance in these things. Some
term as some teens doubt their religion, I tried to explain to
them but when they ask, How do we know if this is right, what is the
best way to explain to them? That's a tough one. There are so
many things you can explain. But it depends on what the inclination
is, are they philosophical, or they spiritual? Are they
scientific? Depending on that, read a book about What is Islam
based on that? And then explain to them from that site. And also tell
them to ask Allah to give them the right religion, that dua can never
go wrong. So what is your telling them to ask Allah for the best
religion. And by the way, there's a very good book that I will
suggest it was written recently by Prince Razi of Jordan, he's
actually not just the prince is a friend of mine. He's not just the
prince. He's actually got two PhDs and he's a scholar in his own
right. He wrote a book called A Thinking Person's Guide to Islam
is one of the best books I've written to understand what Islam
is all about.
It gives you a good unfastened, but the first thing is trying to
find out from this friend of yours, what is their inclination,
scientific or whatever, get a book on that subject, read it up and
try to explain to them that way. And number three, make lots and
lots of dua for them. Okay, I'm gonna really go fast now with this
because we have to end does Allah leave signs on some dead bodies to
show that they were good or bad? Yes, a smile on their face. Good
one, good or bad smell, yes, heavy body on the burial. Sometimes
there's that. There's a number of things like this. And another
thing is, maybe you see them in your dreams as well. But
fragrance, smile on their face, and so on and so forth. But if
somebody doesn't have a smile, don't think that they're bad.
Because these are just additional science. Do we meet people when we
see them in our dream? No, you just you just meet people in your
dream. You don't meet people physically, you're not meeting
them physically. Because dream world is a different world. It
functions on a different dimension in different realm. It's not
tangible, you're not really meeting them in real life, as in
physically, but you are meeting them, but not in real life. Can
the souls meet in dreams can a live in person saw meet a dead
person sold in CBSE? Can that's a possibility. But don't get too
engrossed in nerves. There's a possibility, lots of stories of
how people who passed away then they were seen in their dream, to
tell you to do something, I've got this much money to pay somebody, I
need to do this, I need to do that. Lots of things have
happened. But don't get obsessed with it. Because some people, the
shakedown can mislead you. If you get obsessed shaytan can come in
the form of something and then tell you to do weird things, then
you will do them because you think you're a prophet or something now,
so be careful. Do people in Balzac know what is going on with us in
the dunya? And what is the best way to benefit the deceased
people? I think the second one I've already answered that you do
good things for them, especially sadaqa. jariya is the best. The
hadith mentioned that the best thing a person can leave for
themselves afterwards is maybe a water source of river that they've
left a must have or a book of Quran a What else was it? There's
a number of things. One I don't salehoo neither will the best
thing you can leave this place children.
The best thing you can do as far as children, because that will
just multiply they will make dua for you and they will do things
for you. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us that's doing do people in
the bursa know what is going on with us in the world? Some of them
do No. Because remember in the Shaheed it tells us that they they
want Allah to tell us how great they are, and how in how enjoyable
they are. And Allah could let them know it's not necessary though.
Allah could let them know because there's stories about when you go
and you make sort of the scene and you give the reward to your
deceased that they it isn't narration is about them,
recognizing that that's coming from you. But Allah knows best
Exactly. Does crying on one's burial hurt the dead person which
whom you're crying for? How long can you grieve? Only that crying
which is uncontrolled. Otherwise the natural crying of emotion
which you can't help there's nothing wrong with that because
the prophesizing did that as well. But anything which you lose
control, then that doesn't necessarily harm the harms you
unless they it will only harm the bear bury the deceased person if
they wanted you to cry like that. Because that was a tradition in in
Java Hillier that they wanted people to cry. They would hire
women to cry like that, that they would be punished. Not if they
told you not to cry.
You're still crying like that that is harmful for you and not for
them. Do you go? Do you go to jahannam? If you don't wear hijab,
can you get Jana without wearing the hijab? Allah knows best. The
rule is the rule is that if you do a bad deed, Allah has the right to
punish you. It's as simple as that. However, he can forgive. But
we in this world can't say I'm going to do all of this wrong. I'm
not going to pray. And I'm going to expect that Allah is going to
give me right because he's cool with me. That's the problem that
attitude is going to destroy.
But if somebody can't wear hijab today, because look, if you can't
wear hijab to they don't wear it tomorrow, have an intention of
doing it tomorrow don't ever justify will never be able to do
it. Why are you saying this? Have it tomorrow? If you can't do it
today, for whatever reason, no problem but do it tomorrow. Then
inshallah with that good intention, Allah will give you the
him
