Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala
say you didn't more saline while he was so happy about okay was
seldom at the Sleeman Kathira on Isla Yomi Dean Emeritus
we move on to one of the longest chapters in the book. Ignore Kamal
Josie, he has given a huge coverage to this next section. And
the topic is about people seeing Allah subhanahu wata Allah, Allah
becoming manifest for them.
And the whole excitement about it. The reason why he spent so much
time on this section is for ICs, two reasons. One is clear cut,
that this is going to be one of the most significant significant
bounties and blessings that a person will ever attain in their
life, which is that after getting into Jannah, and then knowing that
Allah is happy and satisfied with them, they are there forever,
after all the other things that they will be gaining within there,
then they will be able to see Allah subhanaw taala the Lord, and
that will be the most important aspect of all. So firstly, it's
due to the significance of that. Number two.
There's been at least one group in the past who deny that people will
see Allah subhanaw taala in the Hereafter.
And they believe that Allah cannot be seen his two transcendent to be
seen. However, there are a number of verses that indicate that you
will see him some much more clearly. Others in an indicative
way, and some explicitly, and there's numerous narrations,
numerous narrations from numerous Sahaba. And biblical even this
particular instance has decided to
relate every single one of those narrations of the live NumbersUSA
narration and a SIP domotics narration, Abu Hurayrah the
narration, every narration that has been related, he's brought it
within here, we're not going to go through all of them, a lot of them
are very similar.
Lot, some of them are very different as well. But they all
have the same theme, about meeting with Allah, about seeing Allah and
Allah becoming manifest and being seen on the Day of Judgment. So
I'm gonna just mention just a few of those narrations and a few of
the opinions of the Sahaba after it, just so that we get an
understanding of how this will be. We can't mention all of them as
100 pages of narrations we don't have, we're not going to go
through all of them. When of course, if a person wants to look
at this in great detail, they can get the Arabic And they can go
through it in detail.
If you don't play him when he starts this chapter, which is the
65th chapter of his book, he says her the Bible Ashraf Abba, will
Kitab this chapter is the most noble of the chapters of this
book, what Angelou have Catherine, what are the hot seats, the most
important one, and it has the most esteem. And it will be the one
that will gladden cause the great greatest gladness of the eyes of
the Arizona will Gemma, this is something that will cool your
eyes. And it is the chapter take into consideration the controversy
about Allah being seen or not being seen. It will be the one
that will be the most severe on those who are people have been an
innovation.
And he said this is obviously something that people run towards.
This is something that inspires others, this seeing Allah subhanho
wa Taala a lot of people, this is what they are working towards.
Because you know, when you grow to love someone, and you can't see
them as those people who are in the cyber relationships.
They would give anything to be able to see one another
in person they may have one is that they would have a cyber
relationship. And there's no photos exchanged for whatever
reason.
People go on those matrimonial sites, those ones that regulate
and you're only allowed to have a discussion first and only after it
gets to a level where things can move forward, then they allow you
to see each other.
It makes a big difference. Just seeing someone is worth more than
a whole year of just discussion. Sometimes. It's not the same but
it's like that. And when you have to see somebody finally in person,
that's amazing. So people who love Allah subhanaw taala they live for
Allah, everything they do is for Allah, they love for Allah, they
hate for Allah, they, when they eat, they're thinking about Allah.
When they sleep, they're thinking about Allah.
They every breath is about Allah. They have just conscious about
Allah. They've understood that he is their master. So this is a
massive issue. This is such a significant issue.
issue. And of course anybody who is deprived of the sight in the
seeing this beautiful vision, then that is going to be one of the
greatest deprivations greatest depravations SubhanAllah. So let
us begin and see what ALLAH SubhanA wa does. Allah says, Learn
Dharani to Musala when he requested that, he could see Allah
if he could see Allah, Allah says Lund Dharani you will never see
me.
Meaning you cannot see me for sure. What I can endure illegible.
But look at this mountain for in is the Quran McKenna who, if it
remains in its place for solfatara Annie, then you may see me for
LaMotta julabo Julio Jebel when Allah became manifest to the
mountain Tjaarda who Dhaka
it just turned into dust. Well Hora Musa Sarika and Musa Ali
Salam, he fell down unconscious, just by looking at what happened
to the mountain.
Now, Musa alayhis salam could never have asked for something
that was impossible or inconceivable is not possible in
the dunya because we don't have the eyes and the ability to be
able to experience that even the mountain doesn't is to world is
too limited. But he would not have asked for this. If it wasn't
something within the realm of possibilities. So that that's why
Allah subhana wa Tada didn't say to him, Okay, you will never see
him and don't even bother trying to ask, but he gave him the option
just to show him that this is limited right now you you won't be
able to see him. So that is the
that is the first thing that we know here.
I'm going to be very selective because it's a lot of discussion.
The second thing that we know is Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Quran surah baqarah what Akula why Allah more and Nicola who
fear Allah and know very well, that you will be meeting him.
What does that means about meeting someone? That indeed this is
indicative of being able to see him and other ones sort of deserve
what they're here to whom Yo Ma el Kona who Salam and the greeting on
the day they will meet him will be salaam peace, no fear whatsoever.
Then Allah say inserted calf. Thurman Cornejo duly called Rob
Bay. Those who hope to meet the Lord, meeting meeting meeting in
the Quran. Another one so it will Baqarah ca Allah Allah Xena, Johan
Nona, and Nahum Mala Kula. Those people who those people who
believe that they would be meeting Allah, they said and thus meeting
Allah again that comes into that discussion.
Those people the all the lexicographers all the philologist
those who deal with language Arabic language here, they've all
agreed here, that liquor the word liquor yellowkorner, who meeting
that word, when you attribute that to any living being not he will
meet the car he will meet the animal I mean, this animal is a
living being as well actually, whenever it's
attributed to any high
Salim annual atma well manner, any living seeing entity, then it
essentially demands that its site its meeting with site as well.
And there's a number of Hadith sahih explicit narrations that
even the munaf your teen
will see him initially
on the Day of Judgment.
But then after that it will be prevented
to make it seem worse.
Now in this regard for the Arizona Well, Gemma, there are three
opinions as to who's going to see Allah subhanaw taala. One is that
only believers will see Allah subhanaw taala only believers
nobody else will see him. Number two, everybody on the milk if
everybody on the day of judgment that is there standing will see
him both the believers and the caffeine, then the caffeine will
be prevented and blocked from seeing him. And then after that
they will never see him again.
Number three is
that the kuffar all of them will not see just the Mona 15 following
them in the beginning. Maybe that's just because of the fact
that they at least expressed a faith but didn't have it, then
they will be prevented maybe just to make it worse on them. Then
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Surah Yunus wala who had the rule,
Elijah is Salam.
Wherever the mania shirt or LRC wrote him was stalking.
Allah invites and calls towards the abode of peace and He guides
whoever whomever he wishes to the straight path. Lin Lavina arsenal
husana was Jada. And then it says those who do good for them is good
and even beyond that, good is Jana and beyond that has been described
by everybody as being the seeing of Allah subhanaw taala Well, I
are who would you whom Qatar? Zilla Willa Iike us herbal Jana
homefree ha ha they don't they their faces will never be overcome
by any kind of sadness, sorrow, remorse,
sense of loss, depression, these are the people of Jannah and in
there they will dwell for forever. So the word husana here pretty
much according to all the move a searing has been described as
Janna and zyada is the Beatific Vision, seeing Allah subhanaw
taala. In fact, this is how the prophets Allah himself described
it, and the Sahaba Imam Muslim has related this in his Sahai from
hammer the new salam from thurb it from Abdul Rahman even OB Laila
from Sohaib Radi Allahu en cada a quarter Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, little Athena Hassan husana was here that the
Prophet saw some read this verse. And He said, When the people of
Judah antigen, and people of hellfire into hellfire, and Harold
will announce oh people of Jana, you have a meeting with Allah
subhanho wa taala. Quickly you've got a meeting.
He wants to reward you. He wants to see you same. What is that? Why
is this What else does he want to give us? He wants to give you
something what else does he want to give us? Hasn't he already made
our scales very heavy.
Made our faces white and resplendent and shining, entered
us into Janna, protected us from the hellfire. But then when they
will come and hijab the veil will be lifted and they will look at
him, they will never have been given anything more greater and
more beloved to them than seeing him well here as the other he
said, and this is the zyada so this has been described by the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam as the Ziad himself and then pretty
much everybody has related this from him until it becomes just
about mortality and innocence.
Then it says about those who are who will not be seeing Allah
subhanaw taala in Surah MacDuffie Allah says, Can Rana either Kulu
be him? No, he acts Abel gala in Houma. Rob be him Jana is in llama
Jubu
these people will be veiled.
And
there'll be an obstacle, a barrier will be created between them and
their Lord, they will not see him. This is another thing that
indicates that they will see Allah subhanaw taala.
And then Allah says in surah, cough, la Houma, Yasha una fee,
what are they in amazi whatever they want, they will have their
in. And we also have Mozilla, we also have extra. And this has been
described by the orlimar as meaning
the seeing of Allah subhanaw taala. Then we have the verse led
to the RICO hole absorb, well, who are you the collapse are no sites
can encompass him.
Whereas he encompasses all sites. Now encompassing a site, you know,
seeing somebody in such a way that you can see through them like an x
ray, right? That's not what's meant here you will see Allah and
it's enough to satisfy you. Yes, Allah cannot be fully encompassed,
whether that be by sight, or by listening or by knowledge, that's
clear cut. But this verse, which is generally used by those who
detract, to say, look, he means you can't No side can see him. Now
the things that we can say that this means in the world, but in
the Hereafter, you will see him
another delille would you who Yoma is in now yulara, Bihar now Vera,
this is probably one of the most explicit
the faces on the that day will be resplendent shining bright, they
will be looking towards the Lord. This one in Surratt. LKR is the
clearest of the evidences from the Quran. They the detractors, they
change this now there are two montavilla they change it, and
they say no. Now there are here, which clearly in Arabic means to
look. So no no in this meaning it's in the metaphorical sense of
waiting. They will be waiting for their Lord. They won't be seeing
him because they need to make the verses fit their opinion. You see.
So that's what they've said. But it's very clear, and there's no
need to move away from the explicit of the Quran to something
else
that
Why ignore Ibis or the Allah and our greatest professor says ilaro
beha. Now Thira done through Illawarra beha every soul will be
looking at
the countenance of its Lord. Likewise, a crema says the same
thing in our Obeah tom de la Robbie had another run, they will
be looking
at their Lord they will have the vision.
As far as a hadith are concerned,
that hadith there are so many from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam both extremely savvy to weak and many, many generations,
which all indicate in a contiguous way that there are so many that
it's impossible for people to have light in this regard. There are so
many you will see.
These are the narrator's Abu Bakr, Siddiq or the Allah even he's
going to work on it doesn't have many generations directly. There's
a little notions about him, but there's very few narrations from
him. He has a narration abou Herrera has a narration I will say

budget from Madina Munawwara he only became Muslim in the last
just before the Prophet SAW son passed away short time before
that. So Hey, baby leucaena roomie, a foreigner he's a Roman

and another one whose name hasn't been mentioned all of these
narrators have various different reasons some are similar, but
others are different.
All mentioning some aspect of seeing Allah subhana wa Tada
both in the same generation Sunon durations I'm just going to
mention one or two of them.
The hadith or Bakr Siddiq, or the Allah one is related by Imam
Muhammad
it's a long narration, I'm just going to go through some of it
because
we we've read what it contains. We've read a lot of that before.
So I'm just going to mention some of the relevant parts. We're gonna
say these are the Allahu Anhu relates that once the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was in the morning, one morning, he performed his morning prayer
and then he was sitting down
until it was hotter.
You know, when the sun has risen, and the professor Lawson began to
laugh, and he sat in his place until he performed the the answer
and the mercury
found all three prayers.
He in all of this time, he did not speak until he then performed
Salah Malaysia. He just sat in this place in this contemplation.
Then after that he went to his family. Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu, and
people said to him, and you're gonna ask the Prophet salallahu
Salam, what's going on today? He doesn't generally do this right?
He's done something today that he's never done before. So I'm
working with the Allah when when to ask him. So the Prophet Saracen
said, Yes,
Allah subhanho wa Taala
called caused everything that is going to occur of the affairs of
the world and the affairs of the era. He presented that to me. So
the person was watching essentially, like a movie all day,
the whole scenario, right? And you say a movie that's really
detracting because there is no reality movies. But he was
watching a vision, this in depth vision of the affairs of the dunya
and akhira says he gathered and then he describes one scene that
Allah then gathered, the first and the last people in one plane. And
people were extremely terrified and afraid, until they went to
other muddy salon.
In such a state now this add some description here in such a state,
that their sweat and perspiration. Perspiration was neither going to
overcome and submerge them. Because underneath judgment is
going to be perspiration according to level of sin. They said, Yeah,
Adam, you are able Bashar father of creation. You're the one who
Allah subhanho wa Taala has chosen
give us intercession
intercede for us.
He says, I'm also experiencing what you're experiencing.
Go to your father after your father, meaning go to your second
father to new Halle Salaam. And then in the last of them our new
house
Allah subhana wa Tada has chosen Adam and Noah Hawley Salaam and
Ibrahim Ali Salam not and the family of Abraham in the family
Imran and he has given them preference al al Amin, on the
other people. So they went to New hardyston And they said, intercede
for us to your Lord, because Allah has chosen you. And Allah has
answered your prayer, answered your DUA, and he did not leave a
single curfew on the earth after your prayer.
And he said, Lisa, daddy Khomeini, I don't have that power either. Go
to Ibrahim Ali Salam because Allah made him his friend. They go to
the Brahim Ali Salam is that I can't do this either. I don't have
that position. Go to Musa alayhis salam.
Because Allah subhanho wa Taala specifically spoke to him.
So they go to Mousavi salaam, he says, I am not of that position,
go to a sub memoriam because he had the ability to cure the leper
and the one with leprosy, and he could bring the dead back to life.
But he saw this and I would say I don't have that position either.
Go to the master of the children of Adam, to Mohammed and he will
intercede for you to your Lord as the vigil, they will come and
Gibreel
will come
Gibreel will go to Allah subhanho wa Taala and Allah will say, Let
him come. Give him the glad tidings of Jana. So GB Larissa
will take the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and he will fall down
in frustration as long as a week. That's how long so this this
particular narration adds a bit more detail.
Allah subhanho wa Taala will then say raise your head, say and you
will be heard,
intercede and your intercession will be accepted. So, he will
raise his head. And when he for either another ILA wedge he rugby
Hara, Sajid and kodra. Juma art in Accra, this is the relevant part
here. When he looks at the countenance of his Lord, he will
fall down into pious prostration for another week
for another Juma
and then Allah subhanaw taala will say, raise your head and speak and
you will be heard and intercede and your intercession will be
accepted. Now, he will continue to be frustrating, and Jabril Ali
Salam will, will take hold of him.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala will then open up for him certain
prayers that he's never opened up to anybody before.
And then he will say, Oh, my Lord, You have created me, as the leader
of the children of Adam. And I don't have any pride in this. I'm
the first one who the earth will reveal on the day of judgment. And
I don't have any pride when I say this.
And
so many will come to my watering place my held Goethe more than
that, which is between the Sangha and I'll an ALA.
And it will be then said,
that call the CDT and call those who are very, very truthful, so
that they may intercede, then it will be announced now called ambi,
call the Ambia, called the prophets. So the Prophet will come
and he, they will be one prophet who will come and they will be a
group with him. Another prophet will, will come with five or six
people with him. And then there'll be another prophet that will come
and there won't be anybody with him.
Then it will be announced, called the shahada called the martyrs.
And they will then intercede for those who they desire those whom
they desire.
Now, when the shahada and the marches have completed, that,
Allah subhanho wa taala, will then say that I am the Most Merciful of
the merciful ones.
Enter into my paradise, those who never committed any form of
ascription of Allah to Allah subhanaw taala, who never
committed any kind of shift. So they will enter Jannah then Allah
subhanaw taala will say, go and look in the hellfire.
Can you find anybody that has done even a small amount of good deed?
So they will find one person left they'll find a single person
and they will, he will say to him, Have you ever done any good? said
no, except that
this was his only good that he did. He says I've not done any
good except that when people used to trade with me, I used to be
very pardoning very
I used to be very gentle. I used to be very good in my dealings
with them. If somebody couldn't pay on time, I still let them give
them some time. So Allah subhanaw taala would say that pardon my
servant, just like he used to pardon my servants in the dunya.
Just you know, as business people to be nice in your business, to
give people time to be compassionate when dealing with
people understanding if somebody has an excuse. This is the benefit
of the last person that they find in hellfire one, a single person
they find in hellfire.
Now
they will then take out another person, there's another person
that will find them. Have you ever done any good? These are different
people that taking up with bits of good, you'll say no, except that
I had ordered my children, my child when I die, then he needs to
burn me, he needs to cremate me.
And then after that, he needs to take whatever's left, burn me and
then whatever's left, he needs to take that
and grind it down.
Until I become like antimony very fine, very fine, then he should
take me to the ocean. And he used to just he should allow the dust
particles, this this residue, this ash, to then let the wind carried
out into the ocean.
So that by Allah by Allah he says,
The Lord of the worlds can never then seize me. He was so
frightened. That's why he did it. So Allah subhanaw taala will then
ask him that, why did you do that for said out of your fear. So
Allah will then say
go and look into the kingdom of the greatest of sovereigns and
kings. And for you there is whatever you wish for it for you
there is the like of it. Exact same amount 10 times that amount
on top. That's for a person who's just got this one deed. It's not a
deed even it's just the fear that he had. So It's haram to do that.
He will then say to Allah, are you joking with me? You're the king
and you're joking with me You're messing around with me joking with
me.
So then it says that this is what the price of the Lord is and
laughters because of this statement.
As I mentioned, there were numerous Hadith in this regard.
I've just selected a few of them that show a bit of different
versions. We can't go through all of them. So the next one is
next hadith is a Hadith of God did not Abdullah. This one is related
by Bukhari and Muslim from his chain. Once he says that we were
sitting with the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he looked at
the moon on the 14th night and he said, you will see your Lord.
Clearly, just like you're seeing this moon clearly seen the 14 Nine
moon, you will have no doubt, you will have no doubt in looking at
it. And if you can never be overtaken by performing the salah
Before the rising of the sun, and before the setting of the sun,
then make sure you do so. And then he recited was said behind the
Rebecca Kamala Tillery Shamsi or Kamala Rubia
glorify the praise of your Lord, before the rising of the sun. And
before the setting of the sun. That means your Fajr announcer
pray make sure you never miss those prayers. They were very easy
to be missed, because Fajr sleeping and answer because that
was the end of the business day. So you have to kind of get that in
before the shop closes before you close up for Muslim. That was the
traditional way of doing things.
In England, it could be various different salads like that because
our timing for salad doesn't fluctuates hugely. Whereas in
other countries that are closer to the equator, the fluctuation is
about an hour.
In fact, in some it's half an hour, the fluctuation throughout
the year is not very much at all. So you can have a routine for the
whole year in those countries in this country. It's very difficult.
Clearly, this is part of our sacrifice our our that's just part
of
part of living here. And when things are made difficult and you
still do them then you get the reward for them. The other hadith
is by Sahib, or the Allah one Muslim relates it's in his sahih
that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when the
people of gender will enter Jannah
Allah subhanho wa Taala will say that is there anything more that I
can give you that I can increase for you? And they will say that
No, haven't you brightened our faces? Haven't you entered us into
paradise? Haven't you saved us from the hellfire, however, then
Allah subhanaw taala will have the veil lifted, the veil will be
removed, and they would not have been given anything until then
that would have been greater, more beloved to them than looking at
the Lord Azerbaijan and after that they will have nothing better than
that, except that, then Allah then the profit and loss and read the
verse little Adina arsenal husana was the other that for those
people who've done good is good, a goodly reward, and even more so.
And even more so than that.
The next generation is
a boo mama or the Allahu Anhu generation. About alma mater the
Allahu Anhu says that once Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was given us a sermon.
And that time, a lot of his hotbar was under the jungle.
He would warn us of the Antichrist.
And he will he spoke about him until he finished his fatwa.
Part of what he said on that day is that Allah subhanho wa Taala
has never sent a prophet except that he has always warned, the
prophet has always warned his ummah, I am the final prophet, you
are the last of the communities and the homeless.
And he is going to have to come out in you because every prophet
warned against them, you are the last one, he has to come among you
sometime.
Now, if he comes, and if he emerges while I'm still among you,
then I will be the defender of every believer, I will take care
of it. However, if he comes after me, then everybody's going to have
to defend themselves. Everybody will have to have a proof for
themselves, to be able to deal with him.
And I leave Allah subhanaw taala to be to take care of people on my
behalf for every Muslim.
He will erupt from somewhere between Iraq and sham, he will go
right he will go left meaning throughout the earth, strong, long
story. But ohm servants of Allah, make sure you remain firm.
Make sure you remain firm, he will start off by saying I'm a prophet.
And there's no profit after me. Then after that, he will praise
and then he will say I am your Lord.
And you can't see your Lord until you die.
Meaning he will say, I am a prophet. But then the Prophet SAW
was me saying that there is no prophet after me. So the gel will
say I'm a prophet, meaning he's a prophet, but there is no prophet
after me as a prophet or something. And then the jar will
say, I'm your Lord. But the prophet Allah is I'm saying that
there's no way you can see your Lord before you die. So that's
just all false claims that he will make.
And between his eyes is written careful, every believer will be
able to perceive that and read it.
Anybody who sees him should spit in his face. This hadith tells you
you should spit in his face, if you see this person.
And they should recite the beginning of soret skeletal calf,
that will be their protection.
He will then be given some sub he will then be able to
subjugate a particular human being and you will kill him.
Then after that he will bring him back to life that will be that one
instance when he killed somebody and brings them back to life just
to show that it's a miracle. But he'll never be able to do it again
afterwards. And he will never be able to have that kind of power
over anybody else afterwards. It's just that one
as a trademark symbol, that he will be able to do it once
the fitna his trial, the test that he will be, he will confront
people with is that he will have what will seem like fire and
Paradise, but his paradise his garden that he will show you as
what he can give you is actually * is actually the fire
and vice versa. Anybody who is tested by his fire, he has closed
his eyes
and he should seek refuge in Allah and it will become cool. And it
will become cool.
And one of wellbeing, just like for Ibrahim alayhis salam.
Just as the fire was cool, and a place of safety for Ibrahim alayhi
salam, he will be around for 40 years sorry for 40 days.
is, but one year will seem like a one day will seem like a year,
another day will seem like a month another like a week. And then the
others will just be like normal days. But then the final days, the
final days will just be like a mirror arch
will just be like a mirror image,
that a person will in the morning be at the door of the city. But it
will be nighttime, before he can reach another door, another gate
of the city.
Of course, a lot of these things.
You know, you can take them literally. And we believe that a
lot of these things will be literal. But with everything
that's literal, sometimes you do get a lot of symbolic and
metaphorical aspects. There are so many people out there who are
trying to control certain resources, gain certain control
that they can hear things. Allah subhanaw taala told us well before
that we will record everything that you do.
Everything you say.
Everything you say everything you do, everything you see, everything
you hear, every place you go, all of these things can be done at
some level now
by
the Apple Company,
and also by Google, and by a number of other companies.
Just through the fact that we have to carry this phone around with
us, it can hear everything that we say you've seen the recent saga
about the Samsung TVs listening to everything.
In fact, it says on there that make sure you're careful about
what you say, because everything is being recorded.
All of that is being put into a database, Google every year is
expanding its storage centers every year.
So all of this is being put together, then they've got these
deep computers.
Right, what they do is they give these deep computers a huge amount
of pictures to watch interactions. And from that, the computer

telling us the interests of doing this all the time. They can do
more than they can understand what you think. And believe me those

The next Hadith I want to mention is the hadith of Zeytinburnu

this one is Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Now this one is a
dua about which includes the mention of looking at Allah

And anytime that I've curse somebody then allow that to only

authority, the Allahu Anhu was
emphatically ordered that him and his family should read this every

So that Allah subhanaw taala gives them the beatific vision in the
hereafter to
the hadith of eyeshot of the Allahu Allah,
which is related by Imam Hakim
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to Javed Oh Jabil,
should I give you some glad tiding. He said, of course, may
Allah subhanho wa Taala
give you the glad tiding of goodness.
He said that, I have a feeling that Allah subhanho wa Taala has
given life to your father, placed him in front of him.
And then said,
My servant, you can hope for whatever you wish, and I will give
it to you.
So he's responded that, Oh, my Lord, I have not worshipped you,
according to your rights of being worshipped. I haven't worshipped
you that much.
However, I do hope my desire is that you return me to the world so
that I can fight and be a warrior with your profit. And then I can
be killed for your sake. Another time
contributor the father was was killed. I want to do this again.
But the answer is that it's already it's already been decreed
that you will not go back to the earth.
So the whole point here is that Allah placed him in front of him,
sat him in front of him, and then spoke to him like that.
To prove that, you know, he will see him that way. Now, moving on
from there just some other opinions as to why this was such a
big issue. IBOR Dibner awam he mentioned that one should he give
no, Abdullah, he came to us.
This was a while ago, about 50 years ago, he came to us. And I
said to him, oh, boy, Abdullah, I have a there's people here who are
from the market as ILA. They reject these generations. In all
these generations we've been discussing and many others they
reject these generations.
Which ones for example, Allah subhanho wa Taala descends to the
this first guy, the first heaven and that people have gender will
see the Lord. So they should ignore Abdullah then related to me
approximately 10 narrations about this? And he said that as far as
we're concerned, we take we've taken our deen and our religion
from the taboo in
and then from they've taken it from the companions of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wasallam. Now those people who you're talking
about,
who have they taken their religion
And from where they're getting this opinion from.
That's just to put it in perspective as to why this is such
a big issue.
Now we move on to the next chapter which is about speaking. Allah
subhanaw taala speaking with the people, there's a few generations
in this case.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran in surah Ali Imran in a
lazy you know Yeshua Runa br Did he want a Imani him feminine
called isla? Willa Inca hada Acorda whom feel free right you
wanna You can name uma Allahu Allah, Rue La him, while i o la
him Yahoomail. Korea Matthew WADA use a key him
Verily those who
sell the covenant their promises to Allah and they owe us for small
price, they get sold for money. For them, there is no there is no,
no see. And there is no share for them in the hereafter. Allah will
not speak to them,
he will not look at them on the Day of Judgment, and he will not
purify them. So this tells you that if this is going to happen to
people who have done wrong,
and if those people who have not done any wrong and who have done
good all their life, if Allah is not going to speak to them, either
there what's the difference?
This shows that the contrapositive that He will speak to the others,
Allah subhanaw taala and saying Surah Baqarah? What are you
calling me Mohammed Allah Who Yahoomail clear
about the people who reject what Allah subhanahu who hide what
Allah subhanaw taala has revealed, Allah will not speak to them on
the Day of Judgment.
So if the believers and these were the enemies of Allah, if both of
them were not to be spoken to by Allah subhanaw taala they'd be the
same. So what's the point that I'm saying that Allah can speak to
them?
Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned that he will make salaam to the
people of Jannah that Salam will be a real Salam
wa who are calling Mirabell Rahim. It's going to be a clear statement
from the Lord, the Merciful Lord.
We've had all of the Tafseer of these verses before from Jabara
the Allahu and others about seeing Allah subhanaw taala that he will
look at them from above and said Salam Alikum Yeah. Hello, Jana.
Peace be upon your people of Jana. So they will see Allah subhanho wa
Taala clearly.
Then there's a hadith Abu Huraira, the famous one about the market of
paradise. Remember the bazaar in the market of paradise?
And the province of lowly someone's I mean, should we call
it a market or should we call it a mall?
Would you call it
and it says that everybody in that gathering in that mall of that
market? Allah subhanho wa Taala will have a personal interaction
with Him.
And He will say to him, oh, us, Oh,
my. Oh, Ahmed. Oh use of you speak to each person personally.
Do you remember when you did this, this this? Do you remember that
hadith is that one?
Then there's the hadith of ID Inhotim. That every one of you,
his Lord will speak to him on the day of judgment. These Hadith are
clear. Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu. In his narration, he says
that then Allah will mention to His servant didn't I know ennoble
you, deny give you leadership. But he does narration that there is no
there is not one of you except that his Lord will speak to him
privately, there will be no third Juma and there'll be no translator
interpreter in between, He will speak to you directly everybody,
and there will be no veil with a hijab. And so the Allahu anhu,
that Allah will speak to the people of Jannah over and over
again. So if you think about all of these, and seeing Allah, then
there's nothing to doubt here.
In fact, as we mentioned, that it's meant it's made very clear
that the most superior form of bounty in for the people of
paradise who will be looking at Allah subhanaw taala, and him
speaking to them, and anybody who is going to reject speaking to
Allah, Allah speaking to them and seeing Allah subhanaw taala then
they essentially they are rejecting one of the most
important features of Jana, one of the most important bounties of
Jannah the essence of gender, if you want to call it that, because
when everything that you're enjoying in Jannah is going to be
put to nothing by looking at Allah subhanaw taala you're rejecting
that then you're rejecting one of the most
crucial aspects. What diner me one of the Lee is the highest of its
bounties, it's the most superior of its bounty by which people will
have so much pleasure and you're saying that that's not going to
happen. That's just such a deprivation basically.
Okay, now today, the final discussion, we're going to have,
again, a massive discussion, but I'm just going to conclude it, I'm
not going to go into this in any great depth because
we're just gonna go with what the majority of scholars say. That's
who we think the heck and the truth is with.
Allah says, in solitude, what a melody in a story do fulfill Jen
Nettie Holly Dean fee, murder Melissa to one Ill
Rob book, all and all your homage to us.
As far as those who are fortunate, those who will be fortunate, the
hereafter, they will be in the gardens, they're in forever, as
long as the heavens and earth stand, except those whom your Lord
excludes. And this is a giving. This is a bounty that is never
ending. It's a continuous one.
Now, it says here, except those who your Lord, separate out.
So of course, those are the people who have been in hellfire first.
Because paradise is going to be there. These people won't go to
Paradise first, they'll go to hellfire first. So for that
moment, those are an exception, they're not in paradise, yet they
come to paradise later on. For that time,
there are so many delille to show that people will remain in
paradise forever. Allah says in surah Doohan lie through cu and
FE, * moto il moto Talulah, they won't experience any death
therein, except the initial death, which is the death that they
experience in this world after that there is no death.
There's a hadith which we read earlier, that anybody who enters
Jannah they will be in pleasure forever and they will never come
out of it. They will remain there in forever and they will never
die.
Another narration is that an announcer will say oh, people have
Janna. Now, it is your right to remain in here forever.
And you remain healthy, and you will never become ill or sick
here.
And that you always remain youthful, and you will never
become old.
And you always remain alive and you will never die there. And then
in Bukhari and Muslim, there's a narration from Abu Seidel who
Derrida the Allah Han
that death will be brought on the day of judgment in the form of a
what is it?
Around a lamb, you know,
and
it will be made to stand between hellfire and Paradise so both
inhabitants can see it.
Then it will be announced Oh, people have Janna so they will
look fearful.
What's gonna happen now
and the people of hellfire, when they're told they will look and
get excited.
Maybe this is a change of scene. Now the people of paradise, their
change of scene, they don't want to change of scene. People of
hellfire want to change of scene. So they're looking and they're
saying, getting excited.
And then it will be said, Do you know what this is? They will say
yes, this is death.
And that death will then be sacrificed and slaughtered.
And then it will be said, oh people of paradise. Hello, don't
fall out. Permanence, no death, or people of hellfire permanence, and
no death.
Now, there are three opinions in regards to whether Paradise will
remain forever. And whether Hellfire will remain forever. The
verses seem to be quite clear cut in that highly Dean if he had a
Buddha constantly. So you're wondering why is there even a
difference of opinion? I mean, the world differences of opinion in
things that are very clear from your own experience, you will know
that they are possible. Right? Haven't you seen things in your
life, in your family, in your home in your household? That it's very
clear cut, but there's somebody who's got a difference of opinion,
just different perspective. That's why we're so unique human beings.
That's the challenge, isn't it? So likewise, when it comes to these
things, despite clear evidence is there are people who's going to
find a little point here, they're going to say, oh, but this means
that this is a possibility means this and I'm just mentioning to
you just to show you that this is what we you know, we have
to deal with in that case. So there are three opinions here.
First opinion, Paradise and hellfire
will eventually end they are not forever,
just as they were created in the first place because they're not
permanent like Allah. Right? They anything that's non permanent, in
beginning has to eventually end one day it's a logical kind of,
it's a kind of a rational argument in a sense, except that the
missing out that Allah will allow them to be sustained forever, just
like human beings. If humans are there, then same but they say no,
all of this will end. The second opinion is that they will remain
forever, which is the normal opinion that we understand and
this is a third opinion, Paradise will remain forever but Hellfire
will not.
Now those who say that both paradise and hellfire will
eventually end this was a heretic called jam ignore software and
from whom you get the Jamia. Right. He had some really crazy
opinions, they rejected many of the characteristics of CIF out of
Allah subhanaw taala and is none of the Salaf none of the Sahaba
none of that have been none of the great Imams of Islam. Nobody
prominent from the sooner we'll Gemma, you know any respectable
scholar from the Allisonville Jamar has ever had this opinion
that they will both end
in fact, it's something that they've all denied and rejected.
And there's numerous
opinion you know, numerous verses and so on that are related or Kulu
had the image of elucha all the fruits and food in Paradise is
forever and numerous in the heart of the risk una mala who mean
that this is our sustenance, there is no ending to it. And numerous
numerous verses more in the commune for dwama and Allah He
buck, whatever you have, will eventually end whatever Allah has
will endure forever.
So that there's numerous evidences to to remove that problem. Now,
this is an innovative opinion. It's a rejected opinion. Nobody
has accepted it.
Now in terms of paradise and hellfire being forever,
that obviously is the most well known opinion from the self and
the aleph.
So let's take the Hellfire first. Hellfire.
* Hellfire being forever,
there are actually seven opinions about this.
Anybody who enters Hellfire
will never come out of it.
Anybody who goes into hellfire remains in there forever. Whose
opinion is this? Two groups that are no longer around Hawaii and
the martyrs delights. Because they believe that if you did it, even
if you did a major sin, and you're still saying I'm a Muslim, but you
did a major sin, you are. One said you're a Kaffir. The other one
said you're not a believer, you're in hellfire, you will remain
therefore you can never go to paradise. So this is their
opinion, very sad opinion. That is, but of course that's rejected.
This I'm just mentioning, you know, I just want to show you the
variety of these things when you've got these metaphysical
aspects, there's going to be differences of opinion on
minorities. The second one is that the people who will go to hellfire
will remain in there for a short time being punished.
And then after that, their nature will become a fiery nature such
that they will start enjoying the fire.
So it's another way of saying that there is no longer punishment. So
what's happening here is that there are people who are grappling
with the Mercy of Allah Allah abundant mercy Rahman Rahim, Mercy
of Allah subhanaw taala. And they find it difficult to reconcile the
Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala with this never ending punishment. So
they, they coming up with different ideas of trying to
reconcile this. Do you understand? So as I said, the first opinion
was a condemning opinion, they don't care about the Mercy of
Allah. The second ones, they're saying that, okay, we can't say
these people will come into paradise, but we don't want them
to suffer in hellfire. So now they get used to the fire, and thus,
they start enjoying it. So it's like a paradise of fire for them
in a sense.
You know, whose opinion this is? This is the opinion of ignore
allaby The great chief for Islam Ibn Arabi. This is his opinion.
He's focusing on the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala that this
is what will happen. This is his opinion. He says in his for social
Hickam, which is one of his famous book. People find it controllers
some people find it very controversial.
You saying that?
If somebody fulfills their promise, then that's praiseworthy.
But if somebody fulfills their
their warning, then that's not necessarily a praiseworthy thing
that you must force somebody to fulfill their punishing, punish
warning of punishment. If I promise you to do something good
for you, if you do some sort of, if I've given you a promise, then
for me to fulfill others praiseworthy if I go against this
wrong, but if I've warned you that I will do this to you, if you
don't do this, then I'm not obliged to do that because it's
not necessarily praiseworthy. So he takes it from that kind of
rationale.
And he's saying that the divine presents,
it requires
all good praise for itself just by intrinsically speaking, Allah
subhanaw taala is worthy of all good praise. So we can praise
Allah subhanho wa Taala by fulfilling His promises, but not
necessarily fulfilling
his warnings, but with the jaw was built with the jaw was by actually
pardoning and overlooking that
fella tasm and Allahu Khalifa Why did he Russa he says that do not
ever think that Allah is going to
go against his promise to His messengers. He doesn't say his
worried his warnings as well. He only talks about his promises.
In fact, he says what the job was answer your team. He will forgive
the wrongdoings even though he's worn them if they've done
wrongdoings.
Allah praises his married son for being Saudi called Word. He
doesn't pray and praise anybody for being Saudi called worried.
You know, like making sure they fulfill their warnings as well.
They make do with their warnings.
So that's his kind of rationale behind it.
So if no claim says that this is in one extreme, and the martyr
Zilla on the other extreme, the mortars are forage they are
condemning. Here it's full of mercy that okay, we can't send
them to Paradise, but we'll let them have a fiery nature and thus
seek pleasure from that.
However, they both go against what's clearly mentioned in the
Quran, sunnah.
There are people today who entertain that opinion of
immunotherapy
just that they want to have a merciful nature. It helps
interfaith you know, when you have this question asked.
Only believers go to Paradise will disbelievers burn in * forever.
So, I've heard some who will actually quote this to get out of
that dilemma. Right.
The third opinion is the opinion of those who say that
people will be punished in there for a certain time, you know for
the appointed time, then after that, they will be taken out of
it.
Then Allah subhanaw taala will place in the another group of
people
to fill it up instead of them.
This is the generally what's mentioned from the hood
waka Loulan thermos and and narrow in am America Duda they said
they said that the fire will not touch us except for a number of
days except for a limited number of days. Call a customer in the
law here than following Unilever who have a usually for Allah who
are the who and the coluna Allah Allah He may Allah Allah moon. So
Allah Subhana Allah says, say to them, Have you got a special
agreement with Allah? That he will never
that he will never do differently? Or do use Are you claiming upon
Allah something that you don't know? Bala man cassava yet what a
how to be how to eat to formula equals haben know whom fee ha ha
the dual. Those who have earned a misdeeds and their wrongdoings
have encompassed and overcome them. Then these are the people of
the Hellfire they will remain in there forever. Allah says Allah
Tala Illa Latina Otto nos Eva mineral Kitabi you the owner Illa

already doing that it can be unknown Coriolan domestic and and
narrow Illa Yama mera do that while around VDD makan we have
Tarun same thing. They're claiming that if we go to hellfire, it's
only going to be for a few days, they seem to have had this
agreement that they think
so. The Quran and the Sunnah that Ishmael Sahaba Tabby in etc. It
mentions very clearly based on verses in total bakr Omar whom
Bihar Regina minha they are never going to come out from their mama
who minha be mocha Jean Calama Allah do and Yahoo minha minha min

Whether you have one human either be her neither will they be
completely finished off thus day day and neither will the
punishment be made light upon them.
While I hallucinogen not eligible jamberoo visa millfields They're
not going to enter into paradise until the camel goes through the
eye of a needle which is an impossibility
but then somebody will argue that maybe they can make a needle as
big as that. So you got people who are going to argue all sorts of
things.
Okay, the fourth opinion just to finish this quickly,
is the opinion of those who say that
people will come out of hellfire
the fire will remain as it is with nobody inside to be punished.
Empty.
April Tamia Rahim Allah has mentioned this quoted this from
somebody. However, the Quran and Sunnah they reject this opinion as
well that you've got this Hellfire empty for no reason.
The fifth opinion is the opinion of those who say that No, Hellfire
will itself expire and be depleted.
And again, for the reason this is that same opinion earlier about
the people, because it's a rational opinion, kind of logical
opinion that if it was created in the first place, it has to end one
day again, number six
people in hellfire,
their life will end their movements will subside, and they
will become like they will just become some substance, no
movement, they will have no feeling anymore.
That's another way of looking at it.
This was the opinion of Abu availale. I love one of the big
monitors Zillow.
Again, this was to try to reconcile between some other
rational opinion of this, the seventh opinion.
Now this is the weird opinion
that goes against the majority, but it's by one of the great
scholars of Islam,
which is problematic. This is a blow to me as opinion and liberal
times opinion. And he spends pages and pages and pages proving it.
And that opinion is that Allah will cause Hellfire to end.
Allah is its creator, He will cause it to end one day because he
has given it a time after which it will end.
And he then relates this from people before him. However even a
Bernie who's a diehard follower
of them, generally on this issue, he says this is going over the
limit. This this this can't be acceptable. So it seems to be a
this is the minority even though Tamia it'll pay him he was
distributed team is a student of the Tamia and we're reading his
book isn't wonderful books, you know a number of very good books,
but this is one particular way they're isolated in their opinion.
The opinion of the Sunnah well Gemma is that it's very clear cut
in the Quran. It's very clear cut among the Sahaba in general, this
was the HTML of the Ummah that this is what's going to happen how
did interfere the clear cut literal meaning of the Quran and
the Sunnah and all that that they will never end that they will they
will Paradise will be forever Hellfire will be forever so that's
why there is no way to go against that this is what the Quran sunnah
they mentioned
Okay, I think we will end here that ends that part inshallah.
There's a number of miscellaneous chapters left which we will look
at Inshallah, in the next two weeks, just
