hamdulillah
whenever we learn even Cerulean fusina Amin sejati Marina
de la mejor HuFa la had the era when a shadow Allah Allah
illallah, who are the hula Sharika when a shadow Anessa, you know
Molana Mohamed Abu Rasulullah sallallahu taala. It he was the he
was he was seldom at the Sleeman career on Eli Yomi. Dean Amma
buried last week, we looked at some of the final signs
before this world comes to an end.
And the one of the final things that we spoke about was a fire
that will come from
either in Yemen, different places that were mentioned. And it will
drive the people towards the place of gathering. And it will stop at
night, and the people will stop. And then in the daytime, it will
continue, as the people continue as well, with regards this
particular fire and this gathering, rather, there's a big
difference of opinion as to when exactly it's going to take place.
Is this the gathering, the famous gathering, that after people have
left this world, and this world has come to an end? Allah subhanho
wa Taala has everybody recreated, resurrected. And now everybody is
driven to the place of gathering where the questioning will be
done. Where the reckoning will take place is this the gathering
that these are Hadith are speaking about. So there is there are a
number of authorities or Allah ma who are on the side. And they
provide a number of different evidences, nothing. Categorical,
nothing definitive, nothing solid and firm. But they've got their
evidences in saying that this is speaking about the major hasher
national that about the hereafter.
Then you've got another group, with maybe even more prominent
individuals who are saying that no, if you look at the Hadith,
and this is where the difficulty is, you've got some Hadees that
can because there are definite Hadith about the gathering of the
hereafter. Because that's undeniable, that's definitely
going to happen. But then these Hadith, they seem to indicate that
these are going to happen in this world before the day of judgment.
So those who say that this is about after
the hereafter, they will interpret the Hadith that seem to indicate
it's in this world, as referring to the hereafter.
But the stronger opinion is that we know we will, the Hadith which
make it very clear that there will be a gathering in the Hereafter
they are related about the hereafter, and they are referring
to the hereafter. However,
these are Hadees that seem to indicate otherwise, we have to
take them in the apparent sense. And yes, they there is this
gathering before that.
And they've responded, I'm not going to go into the arguments of
both sides because that it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really
matter because this is
going to take place according to the Hadith which says that when
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam talked about this fire, fire,
people ask them, what's going to happen to the believers? Is this
fire? If you remember the Hadith from last week, it says that, is
this fire going to be Salim? And is it going to be safe? A place of
safety, a place of wellbeing for the believers? So the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, where are they going to be believers that
time.
Then there are other other Hadith that we read, which indicated that
this is only going to happen after most of the features of Islam, the
name itself, most of it has been totally wiped out, the only
remnant of it, some older people, some old, old, old people who will
say yes, we remember our forefathers speaking about the
schema, La ilaha illAllah. So that's as much as they will know.
So this is really, really, really towards the end.
So that's just the point is that according to the stronger opinion,
it seems, according to many scholars, that this is a type of a
gathering for the disbelievers after the Muslims have left this
world, this will be a type of gathering for them, where they
will be driven, whereas in the hereafter speaking about a
different gathering.
Then there's Hadith which is related by a mumble Hooray or the
Allah one it's got additional benefits. That's why I'm
mentioning this hadith in Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Huraira the
Allah one it says that the people will be gathered or they will be
gathered together
in three different groups. Some will be between
raw Ribena raw Hibino half fearful and also at this
same time with hope. So you can see what kind of an attribution
that is somebody who's got Islam, somebody who thinks they're going
to be successful, but they're also concerned because of the
shortfalls, their sins, or are he been around he mean, then raw he
been then it says, there will be two on a camel, or maybe three on
a camel, or maybe 10 on a camel.
And the rest of them will be gathered to the hellfire. So this
hadith seems to indicate that these that are going to be on
camels, they will be going towards Paradise, and those others will be
gathered towards the hellfire. Then it says the kill, this fire
will stop when they stop. And it will stop it pause at night when
they take arrest. And then in the morning, it will be with them
again and accompany them again. And it will also accompany them in
the evening. Allah says welcome them as virgin Thalassa you will
be three groups. So that's why I said that this hadith doesn't seem
to tell us exactly who is going to be before or afterwards. So some
have used this hadith as referring to before some as afterwards. But
the one indication here is clear that the believers will be
assisted along towards paradise, whereas the others will be dragged
to the hellfire. Now, let us speak about the absolute last moments as
the last as the Kiama occurs as absolutely the last point. It is
related by Imam Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Huraira are the hola Juan
that the last of the people
that will be gathered before the day of judgment. So this is the
final gathering as the last moments before the TM occurs. The
last of the people to be gathered will be two shepherds from the
medina tribe from the Bozhena. They will be intending to go to
Madina Munawwara they will be on the way to Madina Munawwara and
they'll be looking after the flock. When they get to Madina
Munawwara they will find that it's been overcome
by wild animals. When they get to 72 Wada. Sen WADA is most likely
towards Sham, so it's going to be towards the north of Madina
Munawwara so when they go past Medina, when they go to theater,
whether that is when they will fall flat on their faces, and they
will be the last people to they will be the last people to be
gathered because they would have been separate, but we'll look at
more Hadith about this.
So theny Atul WADA is
close to Madina Munawwara on the way to Sham
if not be Shiva has a hadith in which says that the two men, one
of the two men, one of them will be from the Johanna. And the other
one will be from the Musina. And there'll be saying where is
everybody there'll be looking for the people people have been
gathered away, they have somehow got left behind, it seems as if
we're other people, they will come to Medina when they'll come to
Medina, and they will only find that there are wild animals there.
And then it says that two angels will descend and they will be
dragged on the faces until they will also be gathered with the
people. So these became strays somehow. So the angels will get
get will grab them, take hold of them, and drag them and bring them
with the others. If not ABI Shaybah also had another Hadith
from who they follow the Allahu and that the last of the people
that will be cut will be two people from the Musina they would
have lost the people they would have, they don't know where people
are. And one of them will say to the other, that,
you know, we haven't seen anybody from such and such a time.
So they must have been busy, they must have been out. You know,
because shepherds, we're talking about people who are going out of
the city with their flock and they're staying there for maybe
weeks.
And they come back maybe once in a while to get their supplies and
they go back out. This is a full time job for them full more than
full time job for them. You know, they sleep out they're rough, you
know, they're camping, and so on. So we haven't seen anybody for a
very long time to kind of figure it out. Nobody's around.
Come on, let's go to such and such a person of that particular tribe.
Then they go let's go and visit him. See if he's there. They go
there. They don't find anybody. Then he say, Let's go to Medina
for some reason. They'll go to Medina.
When they get there, they won't find anybody in Medina either.
Then say let's go to the place of the Quraysh in Bucky Alarcon let's
go to the graveyard graveyard or by the graveyard Bucky alorica and
that is next to general Bucky that's next to the masjid. Let's
go to the graveyard. They'll go there. And again they will see
nothing except for wild animals and birds or other just just just
all wild animals. Then
They will go towards the, towards Makkah
that seems to indicate that they're going to be going south.
Whereas in the other one is a theater whether which is in the
north of Medina because Makkah is in the south and Madina, Munawwara
and Sham is in the north series in the north. So it seems that they
in the north of Medina, then they decide from there that they want
to go to Makkah, when they're having that conversation, the
angels will come down and take them. So that's the way to
reconcile the different narrations about it. And you know, some
Hadith mentioned Rosina, some say, Marina, and Marina and Johanna, so
main was seen as a more famous tribe, Johanna, maybe, you know,
is not as famous, as he just mentioned was Xena. But it says in
one Hadith is going to one from Xena, and one from Johanna. Now
there are a number of Hadith there's not really many a hadith
that indicate the exact details, but there are some Hadees that
indicate some details. And the there are some Hadith that
indicate some details, but the reason they're indicating details
is just to show how fast the Day of Judgment will occur when it
does, meaning how fast this last moment will be when it does begin
to occur. So these are some of those durations.
Imam Bukhari and Muslim relief from Abu Huraira, the Allahu and
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that the Day of Judgment
will occur in such a state, that a person two people would have
spread the cloth between them, meaning they probably spread their
cloth between them maybe a metaphor for they would gather
together to have a meeting, spread their class to discuss or to eat
over something or whatever, yet about a year, and there may be
selling that cloth. So they've just unraveled a cloth look nice,
such a nice cloth and so on how much they just about to start the
deal, they would not have finished the deal and then roll the cloth
up. And the day of judgment would occur, meaning the the last moment
would have occurred. So right in the middle of the in a few
minutes, it will occur. And then it says, and the person will just
be re, you know, you know a?
Well, they have to make sure that in primitive areas, they have to
make sure that the will has its boundaries and the wall, the short
wall that it has around it, that it remains firm. And they don't
build it with any kind of firm material, it's normally done up
with just baked clay or something. So it has to be reformed, it has
to be repaired every once in a while. So it says that this person
will be just repairing that. And suddenly, this last moment will
occur.
And another Hadith mentions that he would have done that, and he
would have been trying to take his animals there to drink and the and
the last one would occur. Or that it says that the last moment will
occur, the person has just lifted up a morsel of food. And he
doesn't eat it yet. And it occurs. So when it's going to occur, it's
going to occur really fast. It's just going to occur, it's not
going to be it's just going to occur and the person will die.
Exactly. It doesn't give us much more detail than that. It just
shows us the vastness of it, maybe it's an indication that once it
begins, there is no turning back. Because I mean, as soon as it
begins, there's going to be some major changes taking place in the
in the universe, we're talking about mountains being uprooted and
flattened. The heavens being split. So what you're going to
finish eating,
you know, so that it just shows that it's once it occurs, then
there is no routine, then it's just you're taken, you know, it's
been explained in some places as a very severe earthquake. So yes,
you know, you do see these clips of the certain earthquakes where
you know, they're still moving around, things are shaking around.
But when it's a severe one, then there is no movement, then it's
just that's it, everything just just totally finishes. And then we
learn in some Hadith that that is when the Trumpet will be blown. So
once a trumpet is blown, then it just immediately things will
change, then you can't do anything. Then it mentions in in a
hadith that sama Yun Verhoef is soul. Then the Trumpet will be
blasted file is mounted on Illa Asar Leeton. Meaning when the
person hears the sound, He will put His ear up to the sky. What
have I heard, and the first person to hear it will be this person
who's repairing his well the boundaries of his well and he will
become unconscious. You will become unconscious by that he
mentions in Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Huraira the Allah one
between the two blasts of the trumpet. When is this one to end
this world? The other one is for resurrection afterwards. There
will be a period of 40 years Imam without even knowing all the way
Buhari Muslim all of them relate this. Now that this is just giving
us a bit of a peek about the afterlife. But then there's a
hadith and mostly
Have an essay which says, then Allah subhanho wa Taala will send
rain. So this is after everybody is gone from this world, the end
of the world has occurred. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala after 40
year period where there's nobody ALIVE, He will send some rain
shower.
And by it, the bodies of the human being will be will be recreated,
reformed, remade. And then
the third that is when the Trumpet will be blown again, will be
blasted again, for either homophobia and William Varun.
That's when they will suddenly stand up with this new body. And
they will be looking so there'll be alive. And then it will be
said, A you have nurse. Hello, Mila Beckham.
Oh, people come to your Lord, walk he flew home in the homeless alone
and make them stand for now they will be reckoned with. As
mentioned sorted to Salford in quite a bit of detail. We ask
Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness, we ask Allah subhanaw
taala for well being a complete well being complete Alfia complete
safety and for complete forgiveness, both in this world
and in the hereafter for our forefathers for our for our
parents, for all the muslimeen for all of our Messiah can teachers
and scholars and everybody who's in all of our brothers and sisters
in our in this deen and all of those who are in the home of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This is the final dua of
the author, by which he, he has a bit more detail. And then after
that he completes the book. What he does at the end is remember
this author was born in 1040, Hijiri 1040, just after the turn
of the century, the Islamic century, and he died in 1103. Just
before him
in 911, about
6070 years before him Imam sooty had died.
And he had died before the turn of the century.
People had been discussing
the end of the world at that time.
People had been discussing the end of the world at that time and did
some certain predictions had been made at that time. Imam suity, in
fact, wrote a number of treaties on the subject about the world
coming to an end discussion about that. But then what how many 400
years have passed by since then, the author was in 1040. So he
mentions, the signs he does then he mentions about Imams. So ut
about how he has discussed some of these points, and uses some of the
Hadees that we looked at already that after the good people there
will be bad people and then they will be 420 years and then he
makes all of these calculations and so on. But they're probably
irrelevant for us and now because it didn't happen. Right? It didn't
happen. He does mention though that for example, from Jaffa sodic
Rahim Allah or the Allah one, it's mentioned that the MADI will come
in the year 200 of 200 ignobly Kobe has mentioned that people
will gather together with Maddie in
204 hitch 200 for this generation that name lou Hamer has related
from Mohammed Abu Hanifa, who said now this is not from the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam This is from others after him from Mohammed Abu
Hanifa, who's the son of it really Allah Juan from a different life
than Fatima, the Allah Juana that Maddie will be there in the year
200. So maybe some people thought it means 1200. So even the author
still was still waiting for it because it wasn't 1200 yet. So
there's a number of narrations of that nature. What they're talking
about is that Maddie is going to be like a Majid Majid, there is a
reviver there's a hadith raised by a man without a famous Hadith. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said that Allah subhanaw taala
will revive this Dean at the turn of every century at the end of
every 100 years, every meter every 100 years, with somebody that will
refresh the dean. So there are them I've looked in history and
they've kind of determined or tried to determine who were the
possible Magette deeds of every century. So for example, end of
the first century, who knows the majority of the first century Omar
Abdulaziz and he's probably the most comprehensive of the budget
that's because not only was he a scholar of fake and Hadith and
everything, but he also had rule he was also the ruler. Nobody
after him has had that.
Aside from the for full of up before him as well. They were
items, scholars, and also rulers, so they had both
I'm
command over
over the dean in terms of the dean and also of the world. So out of
all of the Majid Dean's afterwards Imams Imam, Imam.
Omar Abdulaziz is probably the most comprehensive one. Then you
had others. Imam Ghazali is considered for the fifth for the
fifth century. And then there's Imam Shafi for the for the the
second. And then there's these others. The main thing about them
is that although they they may have been greatest scholars before
they were just after them, but if those scholars were not found at
the turn of the century, they fame had reached the peak at the turn
of the century, then they would not be considered widgets. So the
Miuccia did the special feature of it, because the Majid there is
just like any other human being any other great scholar. In fact,
Abu Hanifa is considered greater than Shafi. But Shafi is the Majid
Did
you see what I'm saying? Rocky Muhammad Allah. The reason is that
Imam Shafi comes at that time he's looked at and this is what Imams
duty explains, was Sharlto fever, DECA and tumble Mia will who are
either hayati he banal fear, you shall rebel l me Ilana Call me
when sort of Santa Fe Kalami one year quality Hadith in Colorado
called Ruby I mean, Ali Baytril Mustafa COVID Yan, well, this is
speaking about the MADI in particular. But he's saying that
the condition in it is that 100 years a century passes, the
century comes to an end. And he is
in his life, he is alive between the people. So he has to be alive
at the turn of the century. And he shouldn't have just been born
then. But that should be his time where he's been known. You shall
reveal me Ilana call me and
it's with the knowledge. His status is being indicated towards
meaning people are talking about him or people are knowing him.
Omar Omar Abdulaziz just died after 100 Imam Ghazali died in
505. Right. So all of these were generally speaking about the
they're doing this great work at the end of the century, beginning
of the century, and then they pass away.
Right so that's a machete that's a revival when sort of Santa Fe
Kalami he and he will be assisting supporting the Sunnah establishing
the Sunnah very important, V Kalami. He in His, you know, in
his speech, and in a hadith that has been related, he will be from
the family of the Mustafa of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam who
are Korean and he is very strong, or it means that this hadith is
very strong enough. So he is probably speaking about
the coming of the MADI, which has to come before the day of
judgment. So maybe he was trying to say that
he will come if it's going to be at the end of the turn of the
century, the first the man who has to come and then is going to be
this number of years. So that's why our author after 1040 is
saying, well, the man he hasn't come yet, but he could still come
because there are other
prophecies about it. That is going to be 200. So maybe it's just a
bit afterwards. But that's what people have been doing. And even
now people are still doing it. But it's up to Allah. It's one thing
that the rocks are awesome kept from us and Allah subhanaw taala
kept from us. So nobody's going to really know about it. You may
think an indica and there are indications clearly there are
indications. But then you might be saying well not many of these
other signs that really occurred at that time. So how could they be
thinking it could be so close when it doesn't take long for the signs
to occur and things to change in the world?
So Allah knows best.
But by this he completes the book, and he says that he
gives his full name Muhammad Ibn Abdul Rasul Ignagni, say the other
week al Husseini, Al Musawi, a shahada Zuri Barzan G. So person G
is probably his tribe, shahada zoo, I believe is a place in most
likely in Egypt and thermal Madani, but then he moved to
Madina, Munawwara May Allah subhanaw taala, forgive him. He
says that he finished his book on Wednesday, between two salats on
the 11th, of the hill, Hill, Canada, in 1076. In 1076, is when
he completed it. And so that was halfway through his life when he
was about 30 something years old, he was born in 1040. So it's about
36 years old when he completed this book, not bad at all. 36
years old, he finished it in Madina Munawwara
in his house, he says, which is in the street called a SWACO.
And
may Allah subhanaw taala so we pray to Allah subhanaw taala that
Allah subhanaw taala reward him for the work that he's done, and
how we can you know how we benefited from it. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala allow us to prepare for our death before it
comes.
upon us, because we must remember that all of these signs are there
for us for encouragement in persuasion dissuasion purposes,
just so that we could try to do something for ourselves. The main
thing is that our karma is when we die, and none of these signs could
have occurred. And yet our our own claim will occur our individual
claim, and that is the most important one, because there's no,
that is what we're going to have to speak to when we when we pass
away. As for what we do next,
before we start out of see, since we've gone to this level, I'm
thinking that maybe we could continue this as to the state of
the intermediate role. So we've gone up to the day of judgment,
sorry, we've gone up to the last day where this world is coming to
an end. So maybe we can look at that in a bit more detail. And
then the time between this world and the next world, and then the
hereafter, maybe we could look at that as a next few weeks to finish
this kind of series of so this is before the before the last day, up
to the last day and then what happens after the last day, and
then inshallah we'll start our new new course. Before we finish
though, there was a hadith that I had indicated towards it's a sign
but for some reason, I didn't see it, and I don't think we covered
it in this book. But it's something that I indicated towards
before it's a very interesting narration.
There's one of these narrations are mentioned in Sahib, no Hepburn
and then Imam Ahmed has a version of it as well. And also some
aspect of it is found in Buhari but not all of it, likewise in
Muslim. So let's look at this hadith.
First from Sahib, no burn the narration.
It's from Abu Seidel who deliver the hola Juan, it's a very
interesting narration.
I will say that the Allahu Anhu relates that while a shepherd was
doing what he always does, looking after his flock in the hara, which
is a piece of land outside the city of Madina Munawwara
when a fox sorry, a wolf came
and tried to attack a sheep. It's a typical scenario for a shepherd.
That's what they're there for. So this wolf, it came, confronting
one of the sheep. So quickly, this Shepherd came running, hurried
along, and managed to save the sheep
managed to save his flock that one in the individual sheep from his
flock from his flock managed to save it. So
he didn't expect anything to happen now is taking you off the
wolf to normal game that soul is played between the wolf and the
human, and it's historical. So what would you expect? You'd
expect now? That's it, he's gone. The world's gone. Ill wait for
another chance. However, the Hadith continues and says that
suddenly this wolf began to speak. So this Shepherd, he is a he he is
the wolf saying to him,
another tequila, Don't you fear Allah.
So clearly, he's amazed he's taken aback. He doesn't know what he's
hearing the Hulu benei you are being disciplined circa hula hoop
in a year, the world continues, you just come between sustenance
that Allah subhanho wa Taala drew close to me. You just come between
me and my sustenance that Allah subhanho wa Taala brought close to
me.
So what is this, it's doing what it's doing. And then it's putting
up this argument.
And this Shepherd is is looking at it. What's what's going on here?
So then,
the shepherd is saying, Elijah,
live live.
And
you think what kind of a strange Wolf is this, that this is
happening?
And this, this wolf is sitting calmly, and he says that this
wolf, you know, he's thinking to himself that such a strange event
is going on. And this look at this wolf, it's sitting calmly on its
tail. And he's talking to me, it's talking like a human being.
So he must have voiced this out. So then the wolf replied, should I
tell you something even more surprising than that? Something
even more strange than that. Shouldn't I tell you about
something even more strange? Here, there's the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam here, there's the messenger of allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, between these two horrors between these two
pieces of land.
He is telling the people, he tells the people he informs the people
of the things that have happened before.
So this was news
to shepherd. Again remember shepherds probably lived outside
in the,
on the hills and the mountains
for days on end, now the prophets of Allah Islam had appeared but he
didn't really know much he would go maybe get his little
sustenance, whatever it was supplies and go back. Now this
wolf is
informing him. So he quickly goes, he takes a sheep and he goes
towards the city. He finds some place to put his sheep. So he puts
them there. He is really surprised. This is really struck
his curiosity. He goes, finds the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam goes to the province of Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and
tells him exactly what the wolf had told him. Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam goes out, and
with the shepherd, it must have been in the masjid. And he says,
stand up to the shepherd, and tell
the people what you just heard. So he explains, he tells the people
he relates his incident.
And then the profit center lives and confirms and he said, what the
Shepherd has been saying is absolutely right. He's not lying.
He's telling the truth. Allah Schrott is
and this is the part that I wanted to bring here. Because in this
hadith, related by Ibrahim burn,
the Prophet said, Allah mentioned some signs of the day of judgment
and the very interesting, it is of the signs of the Day of Judgment,
Kala Musa al ins that wild animals will begin to speak to human
beings. So this was in reference to the extraordinary event that
had just taken place by saying the yes before the Day of Judgment,
this is going to occur probably more frequently. And then he said,
What Levine fcbd The one in whose hand by the way, in whose hand is
my knifes in my life, the Day of Judgment will not occur until
wild animals will talk to the human being,
a person will be spoken to by his footwear by his slippers.
The slippers will speak to him and so will the handle of his whip,
handheld instrument of some sort, it will speak to him
and his thigh will inform him of events of his household after him.
This could be interpreted and understood in many ways in our
modern context. So there's three or four things that obviously
Lawson was mentioning here, that animal speaking to human beings.
Number one, number two,
a person's slipper speaking to his whip
speaking to him, and his thigh speaking to him, telling him about
what's happening in his home or whatever. Before I comment on
that, let's look at another Hadith related by Muhammad Yunus mustard
is considered a sound narration number 734 Or five abou Herrera.
The Alon says that one social Allah salAllahu Salam performed
lead us in Salaat finished a prayer. Then he turned towards us
and he said that one day when a person was taking his buffalo, cow
buffalo cow, then he got on top of he began to ride the cow, the cow.
And then he began to strike it when it didn't go fast enough.
Maybe he's taking his cow got a bit tired, jumped on it. And then
when it wouldn't go, he started to
hit it.
So that he didn't expect it to respond to him, suddenly began to
say that in LA No, luckily, however, we've not been created
for this in nama halacha nurdin Hola, Canadel Hirata,
we've been created for farming, not for this.
Cows can pull these.
Those
the plows, but you don't write on cows. They're for milking and for
other purposes, not for riding on. The backs aren't made for that. So
this cow told him, we're not made for this. So the people said
Subhanallah, Glory be to Allah. Cow that speaks. So the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, I believe in it. And so does our Bucher
believe in it, and Omar believe in it. This is like a confirmation
from the Prophet salallahu Salam, that Bakr and Omar they believe in
whatever Rasulullah sallallahu believes in. He's got absolute
faith in them. They weren't there at that time. He just took their
name and said they will believe in this as well. Then he mentioned
that there was a person among his sheep.
When wolf attacked, took a took a sheep and the shepherd went behind
it, managed to capture it, and took the sheep from it.
So the wolves began to say what's wrong with you? You're just taking
the sheep who is going to look after the day of the wild
Animals.
You've taken it from me now, but who's going to protect them on the
Day of the wild animals? When there will be no shepherds besides
me?
There'll be nobody to look after it but me. So the price Allah
Subhanallah sorry, the people began to say when I suppose the
lesson was explaining the province, the people are saying,
Oh Subhanallah now a wolf, who's speaking.
Again, the prophets, Allah some said, I, Abu Bakr and Omar also
believe in this Imam know, we explained that the day of the wild
animals will be a day when there'll be so much effect and
other people will, won't be looking after the sheep anymore.
It'll be it'll be more about their own survival.
So he's talking about fitness to come, this cow is sorry, this wolf
is giving
his foretelling times of fitna, when people will be so engrossed
in their own problems, that they won't be looking after their their
flock anymore. And then it will only be the wolves that will be
with the sheep at that time, about the you've got many things that
seem to communicate nowadays.
Now, who could believe 200 years ago that you can press your keys
and your door will be unlocked? Or if you have that gadget, your
engine will start up who would ever think so? That that was
possible, everything was just so mechanically done. There wasn't
much you could say, computerized technology, it was on mechanical,
you know, one clock shifting another. But to say that remotely,
you can access something, you could start something who would
think that,
you know, nowadays, we do have the special night shoes that link that
sync with your iPod to have, you know, some wireless connection
that you put into your iPad, and then it tells you how much you've
run, and so on. Right, though she's been out for the last five,
seven, probably 10 years now.
So the shoes will speak to the human being. Right, your thigh
will tell you I mean, most people put their phones the right. You
know, on the, in the trouser pockets, Allah Allah knows best. I
mean, these are different possibilities, we're seeing that
this is absolutely possible.
Your whip the handle of your whip, telling you things, giving you
feedback, I mean, the Wii controller, right that that comes
to mind, Allah knows best I mean, but you know, it has a sound, it
gives you feedback in terms of sensation, and so on. I haven't
even tried to connect it was I don't kinetic connect well, so the
one right now I'm even tried the ones I can't even comment on that
one yet. But, you know, these things are quite normal that these
kinds of what you would consider to be
inanimate solid state objects, dumb objects, you know, just just
really in a solid state that they will begin to speak to you. So the
prophets, Allah has made a statement, you know, using the
words and concepts that were available at the time, but they
don't have to be literally applied that way today. They could be
recontextualized and understood now and they make perfect sense
when you recontextualize them. And so not only does this show us the
prophecy, the ability of the process allows him to foretell
things, because clearly he wasn't saying this by his own self. He
was saying this in who are watching you. This can only be in
through direct revelation from Allah subhana wa Tada to say these
things, he couldn't you know, it was me for him to say, yes,
there's going to be a company called so and so they're going to
build this thing called Wi Fi. And you know, it's not going to be
like that, you know, some people are saying, Are we just applying
this stuff in some kind of blind way, we're just being subjective
about it. Well,
the professionalism said it in his way. And it could be
in in it could be applied in this way in this world and Allah
subhanho wa Taala knows best.
But may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to take signs from all of these
things and prepare and make us closer to Allah because that's the
main thing for us to get closer to Allah all of these things are but
signs. And those people who know the signs those people who know
Allah subhanaw taala, who have gotten close, they can see his
signs everywhere, and he only just refreshes their faith in Allah
subhanaw taala. But what happens with us is that we see these
things and we glamorize about them. You we fantasize over them,
but we never bring Allah subhanaw taala into our minds, because we
constantly being so humble. Look at this creation. Look at this.
Forget saying Subhan Allah, we just wow. You know, that's the
word we used. We don't even say Subhan Allah Alhamdulillah Allah
Allahu Akbar. We just, we have this wow factor where it's all
purely human, you know, human achievement, and that's all we
focus on. It's human achievement, but it's from Allah subhanho wa
taala. So it's about taking that one step and going back So may
Allah subhanaw taala give us His love his understanding his
recognition
and assist us in doing that. Work with Darwin.
Under hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen
Allah who met under Saddam I mean because Sudan developed the other
jewelry with a chromosome, your
medical history Allah homea and Yemen then Leila Landis Hanafi
Naka, living alone you mean just Allah why no Muhammad Amma Loma
Linda or him now if you know when I was looking at Allahumma and you

our good deeds of Allah except I was sitting here for this many
weeks in this Masjid of yours, listening to and discussing these
signs of the day of judgment that your messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam left behind for us to, to study and to draw closer to you
and to learn and take the lessons from, oh Allah allow us to become
better people of Allah allow us to prepare for our death before it
comes of Allah all those who have assisted in the narration of all
of these Hadith from Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, O Allah bless
your messenger and shower, abundant blessings on him. And
Allah bless all of those who have been instrumental all of those who
had the theme of the past all those Hadith scholars and scholars
of the past who have preserved this Deen for us and allow us
allowed us to learn these things. And the author has put this
together and everybody else who has been instrumental in allowing
us to learn these things and to gain insight and be inspired by
the words of your messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah
reward all of them a goodly reward and abundant reward, a complete
reward and a perfect reward something we can never do but Oh
Allah, we are asking you to do that. Oh Allah do not let this
just be me and knowledge mere mere information for us but allow it to
be beneficial for us. Oh Allah, Oh Allah make us closer to you. Oh
Allah make us closer to you. Oh Allah make us closer to Subhan
Allah because Allah is it your mail, see phone wassalam when Alan
was sitting on hamdulillah
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate, which you take 20 Short modules, and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to be, you
know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as local law here and Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
