The importance of praying for the Hereafter in Islam is emphasized, as it is the reward of the night. The speakers stress the importance of staying focused on one's own happiness and praying for forgiveness. The importance of reading the Bible and working with the church is also emphasized.

And may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his servant and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as follows my dear respected brothers in Islam, every day that a Muslim wakes up, he has a choice between two paths and two roads to take. And it depends what path and what road he takes is what he will meet eventually at the end of his day, so there is a path
that if one was to take, at the end of it, there are consequences, detrimental consequences, and there is agony, and there's depression and sadness and worry and punishment. And there is another path that if a person was to choose, the end of it is great blessings and rewards and gifts and openings from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And just before I share with you the Hadith in where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gives us these two options in these two paths, I mentioned to you a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in where he says just so we can understand the importance of time and in the importance of time, especially during Ramadan. He is an Allah
while he was Salaam. He says, ma'am, in Sandton Tama robe near them and I have good Illa haffi her inner kanatal he has Salatin, Juana de matar neoman tiama. That there is not a single moment. There is not a single hour that passes by the believers life in where he does not make mention of Allah is not engaged in some kind of worship, except that he would worry and regret and regretted on the Day of Judgment. This is just any normal our imagine about the hours of Ramadan and the moments in Ramadan if they were to go to waste. How much regret would he person have in his life? For we need to understand every hour supposed to be for Allah subhanaw taala engaged in some kind of action for
Allah azza wa jal whether it's a physical worship or it's a worship of the heart, Yanni in terms of being sincere to Allah subhana wa Tada. honest with Allah azza wa jal in your dealings, these two paths my brothers in Islam, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentions in a hadith that is collected by Evan measure for him Allah, He says, Man cannot kill, to have more manga and nothing else hello to humble and in another narration Manasa how on earth to humble that's the first path that one can take, and that is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, anyone who makes the hereafter his concern, anyone who makes the hereafter his concern that is one path. The other
path is yet to come at the end of the Hadith. Let's understand this first path. What does it mean that a person makes the hereafter his concern? And how does one wake up and make the hereafter his concern? My brothers in Islam, it is not only an emotion that one carries in his heart, that you wake up all of a sudden and you say today, the Hereafter is my concern. And Allah He did my concern. It is not like that talk is cheap, everyone can talk. Rather you know, Allah subhanho wa Taala scale. It is the actions that the person does that will determine what his heart and what his state is. So whoever makes the hereafter his concern, how does one make the hereafter his concern? Let's
understand this, my brothers in Islam,
you have
Danny before selectel Fisher, we have something known as the nine and this nine is something for Jews to Allah subhanho wa Taala and he teaches us about its virtue when one wakes up at
moments before sunlight and Fisher, when one wakes up an hour before so that in fact, you're half an hour before so that will force you to pray something of the night. He's proven to himself that today he wants it to be for Allah subhanho wa Taala and he proves to himself that he wants today that the Hereafter is his concern. So he wakes up half an hour before solid television and he makes we'll go and as you make will do during this time, you recall and you remember the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in where he says whoever makes will bow and then he says, a shadow Allah Allah Hey, Lamar, shadow under Mohammedan Rasul Allah Allahu Mashallah the Minotaur webydo
Shanley middle motoko ever says this after making and although Allah subhanho wa Taala opens the eight gates of the paradise for him, either This is the reward, he hasn't even started praying it, this is just his will. And that's the reward already. Be conscious of this time. And live this meaning as you wake up during the night and make although and when you make this with all in your intention, Oh Allah. This is how I'm proving to myself that the Hereafter is my concern. You don't ever have even the reason Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, Raj will mean or Mati, you're cool moment and layli you early June of Soho in a pool. There is a man from among my nation. He wakes up at
night, and he finds himself to make we'll do one of several in a pool. In other words, it's going to be difficult. It's not going to be easy. So he strives and he struggles to make this will Oh, why are they here? And he is tired. There are knots around his head. behind his head. There are knots shaitan has held him back from the worship of Allah azza wa jal
for either a one hour show 100 lockdown when he washes his face full although one of the ties is unknotted for either our buyer the 100 rock when he washes his hand, and other ties are not for either, but originally he after he wipes his head, then he washes his feet in Halla, terracotta, then another tie is unordered then Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says from the upon Allah who hoop Latina Meanwhile, in Asia, Leah's learning how the Mercer Island Eva who are the whole master and an EVA who, then Allah subhanho wa Taala looks at the servant and he gets the angels to look at the servants actions as well. And then he says to them, look at what my servant
has went through for my sake, by Allah, Allah takes an oath leus Allen he nasality Abdi for anything he asks me now is for him. Allah says it twice. Mansa, Allah, Allah who twice
Allah they see the first one is concerning the worldly affairs. let him ask me what he wants from the worldly affairs I give him and the second one, let him ask me from the hereafter affairs, whatever he wants, I will give him this is his reward. And he hasn't even started praying yet. Imagine this. This is just your alone. Look what kind of focus in conscience and what kind of motivation and encouragement it gives you to the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala. When someone gets up at night, half an hour before Salatin Fisher, and he makes this window and he heads to pray to like out for Allah subhanaw taala alone in secret, no one sees him. He is proven to himself that
his the Hereafter is his concern. But there's something special in Ramadan, even our best lovely Allah who I know he says that when a third of the night goes by, and there remains two thirds of the night. Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down during this time, and Robin is special to all other months, because in every other month, Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down to the first heaven in the last third of the night. But in Ramadan, Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down in the last two thirds of the night. So only the only is a third of the night goes by Allah subhanho wa Taala that comes down and he asks
for our fear Allah is the only one that is seeking repentance. Is there anyone that is seeking Toba so that I may forgive him for his sins? And if this is the question that is happening in the last two thirds of the night, meaning if you're really bothered by your sins, and you're really being choked by your sins, and you seem to have put you in worry and depression and sadness, why aren't you happy for Allah subhanho wa Taala in the last two thirds of the night to say Allah, I am the one. I am the one who is asking for Toba and repentance for my sins so that Allah will forgive him. This is the promise of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
info and the questions continue coming from Allah subhanho wa Taala only the believer he is these calls of love with his heart. Allah social, he says hello mean say Elon, is there anyone that has a request? Is anyone that has something someone has a word Does anyone want anything for so that I may give him this is loss of Hannah who are calling on to the server when you sleep the entire night and don't get up
You've just said to yourself I don't have anything. Why I'm not bothered with my sins I'm alright the way I am. Make an effort and get up when you wake up at night and pray something even after selected to get up something of the night and in the last 10 nights of Ramadan get up even earlier than half an hour before Sanlitun Fisher. This is the sooner of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in how he used to be productive during this Blizzard month of Ramadan. And during the days of the so Allah subhanho wa Taala asks these questions and whoever's awake before Allah azza wa jal has made his will. And praying and asking Allah then be if we learn this person is in a position of
being accepted for anything that he asked Allah subhanho wa Taala will give him his request, and will fulfill his request in the time that he is deserving of it. So the servant has got up and he is praying to like something of the night. And he remembers that this is the most virtuous of time was allowed to leave Korea Malaysia was the first select that was obligated upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam before the five obligatory prayers. And this is a time in which Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down himself. And you know, can even Jabri in alehissalaam salam comes down, it's Laila to another. When she beat comes down. It's the little padam imagine the case and the night in which
Allah Himself comes down. This is a huge event. And you might ask, if it's such a grand event, why does Allah subhanho wa Taala come down every night? Why and why Ramadan in the last two thirds of the night, why? Because this is teaching us how much we are in need of Allah azza wa jal that Allah subhanho wa Taala is down every night he comes down. And this is an implication as to how much we are in need of His mercy, and how much we are in need of his forgiveness, and how much we are in need of his blessings. For the one that sleeps during this time, hasn't really fulfilled what a believer is supposed to be doing. Then after this just before a suitable time, you take out five to
10 minutes to make it still fall complete is still far nothing else. Don't be distracted by phone. By children. They're sleeping during this time anyway. And if they're awake and they're older, you get them up to join you insulin and then you see is still fall continuous or stowford a milestone for a lot of stuff for Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala he mentions this in the Quran about the righteous believers. He says while he was still feed in a bill as have what Bill has heard you whom yourself your own, but Allah azza wa jal described the believers he said what Bill as how, in other words during social time, yes, don't feel on a present tense. In other words, they continuously make
us the verb. So this is the time in where you make you still farm after this. You go and have some soul You eat something. When there is some Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, and you feel this heavy in you as you eat your soul. And there is some Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, In nulla woman who you soluna Allah,
that Allah subhanho wa Taala. And all the angels, they send their prayers upon those who eat a saloon. This is the reward of the person that is hasn't fasted yet this is just this whole, that's already the reward of modern social and the angels are sending solo acts upon this person, meaning he is being made mention of in the paradise Allah azza wa jal is making a mention of him among the angels, that's his reward. He hasn't even began his fasting. Imagine in the first hour of fasting, what reward is given, and the second hour, you need to fuel these ahaadeeth so that you're motivated and encouraged in your worship in your fasting during the day. So you have your fasting by now,
given you're already proving to yourself alone, Hereafter is my conservatively look already what I have done for your sake, even between you and yourself, and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows about it. So then after the
confession, and you recognize that it's solid confession, you immediately rush to pray to God soon nothing official. And remembering the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
fishery dunya or mafia, that the two are kind of solid and
better than this wall than everything it can offer. This is the reward of the sooner let alone the selected firm itself, how much how much reward is already person gaining from the very beginning of the day, that they hasn't even started to have a law. So
hello, mina dounia, on how you might ask, how is the to look out of selected furniture? How is that better than this world and everything that it contains. And literally the Hadith is saying that these two like I heard that you will be praying for selected furniture, or better than this world. And it's gold, and it's silver, and it's jewelry, and it's counsels, mentions, houses, cars, whatever it is, if you took the entire loan, and everything that's in these to look at that you probably aren't going to be better than all of that.
You know why? Because this worldly life and everything it contains, it's only temporary. The time you die, everything is finished for you, it won't come with you on the Day of Judgment. Whereas the tool of God that you pray, its reward is permanent. It'll keep on following you until it's pleased on the scale before Allah. And then maybe that's the difference for why you enter the paradise. This is why it was better than that. So as you pray, you're to like, have some little vision, make sure that you are cognizant, and make sure that you are certain of the fact that there is nothing better you can be doing right now, there is absolutely nothing better you could be doing than offering
these tools out of sooner and fresher. Don't miss them. Even if you did not have time, make them after selected for you. So after this, the believer hits to unmeasured, all of this, the sun hasn't even come up yet, you are proving to yourself
that the Hereafter is your concern. You had to survive the failure to pray and face your heart and with the believers. And as you come to solid information, to pray it with the believers, you're conscious. And you remember that at the end of time, the believers would defeat the grievous fitness that ever comes onto the face of this earth by their financial future. And that is when the shell appears just before the shell is destroyed. Just before the biggest fit on earth is destroyed. The believers are praying for Latin Fisher in beta will mock this. And then after this, they had behind the race
to go and kill at the shell. Fair. In other words, the reason for the greatest victory against the biggest of the fittest in life was selected for sure itself was the prayer itself. And so if so that will Fisher was enough to destroy the greatest feat on Earth, it surely is more than enough to destroy any fitness that is going to be way less than that. What is your fifth day in life, your fitness in life is running half the money. And you cannot cure this problem is your fifth day in life looking at women, and you cannot control this fifth day in your life by lowering your gaze, but is your fitness whatever it is, or salad itself, if you took care of it, and prayed it on its time
and gave it its perfectness and gave it its time Bismillah it will give you enough power, strength and courage to fight any fitna that is going to come before your life during the day, if it was prayed correctly, and part of praying it perfectly and correctly is to pray a gentle heart and
so the person prays for that and for sure, he's doing this and all of this is proving
it's proving that the Hereafter is his concern. After this, my brothers in Islam selected for your finishes, you sit down, don't rush, sit a little bit, the world is coming. You can go to work after this sit and make some thicker, the minimum of Subhan Allah Al hamdu Lillah Allahu Akbar, the minimum is to say a 10 times at least sit down and say 10 times before you move at least then after this, if you have this time, see an engaging of girdles solid worth go to
the application of the morning and understand that reading of girl after solid and reciting the morning is much better than reciting the Quran during this time. Why? Because it's prescribed for the time. And Quran generally is the best liquor on Earth. But when there are times in which other of God are prescribed, then they become better. So you make a garden of God half the salad, and then you begin with a girl. So after you finished all this, you begin to read some Quran that Allah subhana wa tada allows you to read. And when you make a garden
and you don't go now and look into the app, also how the law you see it's about 2325 26 pages, it's gonna take me half an hour, where am I going to read I've gotten sober, relax. If you're not if you're new to this, and you don't know this, pick two or three and stay on to them for a month, pick two or three do something from I've gotten sober. I've gotten sober who will give you protection, it will give you strength. Winter as you read Have
you come across some of them that are familiar we all know, like La la la la la sharika.
Kadir, this liquor is supposed to be said 100 times during the day in the night, you can say 50 in the morning, you can say 50 in the afternoon. But as you say, this liquor which we all know, be conscious of the fact that this entire universe was created because of this word. Allah, the paradise and the Hellfire was created because of La ilaha illa Allah, mankind was the jinn and the angels and everything that exists on Earth was created because of Laila. Hey Mama. So when you read it 50 times in the morning, it's sure to do some effect in your heart as you read it. You
conscious of the fact that this walk in life is worthless without Laila. Hey, Mama, what was I rushing to? After so that I'm rushing? It's like someone kicked me out of the budget. Why isn't that why isn't the fact like this after solid, people want to run straight away? It's like, you know, they've been choked and suffering inside, that we cannot wait, delete. Someone's kicking you out. Sit down and make these ads go when you say Laila. Hey, llama Shadi color
wahoo shame Kadir, trust me, it'll sell you. It'll settle your heart. It'll settle your body from this physical activity and this move that you want to have during the day. Let me know you will know that David, eventually at the end of the day, without this word, nothing would have existed. Everything is worthless without this word. So give it its time. Give it its right, sit down and read it and recite it and perfected. And now the sun hasn't even come up here. And look how much a person has done. This is the life of a productive Muslim during Ramadan. And outside of Ramadan, you continue this strategy as well. By now you've proven to yourself
that Oh Allah, truly, really the Hereafter is my concern. After this, the sun rises and as it rises, you come out of the budget as well. And you follow now go to your work. Now listen to the benefits and rewards Allah azza wa jal gives, and maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, Man can attend to her Ma sha, Allah, Allah, Allah azza wa jal will gather his affairs Allah during a time in where affairs are disorganized things all over the place. You sit with someone today, and you see him in his eyes are rolling all over the place. He said number four is wrong with you.
Half of my mind is with my family. Some of it I'm thinking about my work, my business, my taxes, my money, my children, my family, my marriage, I'm all over the place. But for the believer, Shama Hama, hula who Shimla, who, the one who makes the hereafter he's concerned, Allah organizes his affairs, so that when he walks out of the machine, he literally smells this fresh air. It doesn't only nurture his body, it nurtures his soul as well. And he is focused and is concentrated. He knows what he needs to achieve during this day. And he doesn't care about this worldly life, because he knows eventually everything is in the hands of Allah. Everything is in the hands of who I've been
worshipping for the last hour. So I really doesn't matter what happens. I'm only focused and concerned about my ID. And if you had this concern, when you're concerned in the Hereafter is great. Allah azza wa jal will take care of your worldly concerns. And if you did not have a concern of the Hereafter, then your biggest concern is going to be this worldly life. You're left alone each other Hello hula hoop Shama What a great gift. Then the second gift Allah azza wa jal gives this person Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says, Why shall he now houfy Kobe, and Allah azza wa jal makes his wealth in his heart, his richness in his heart, what a great blessing as well. You know, people
their wealth is in a car they buy. People's wealth is in a house, they buy people's wealth, literally, it's only in a business they own. So the moment the business crashes, he's suicidal. He's depressed, he's sad, he's anxious, he's worried. Right? When his car is stolen, let's say and all his money was put in, he's depressed as well. And when he let's say, he's got a car, and he drives a new car, brand new car, and he got his the wheel. And then it's like, his heart got injured. This person his money was in property that he owned, but the believer, Allah subhanho wa Taala and Nevis, Isola, he says Sharla who feel that the richness and the wealth is in his heart. Now no matter what
he has, and no matter what he loses, it really doesn't bother him. Because Allah azza wa jal has made riches and contentment inside of his heart, and then the final and the greatest blessing in the vessel, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he says,
to dunya
and the worldly life, it will come to him on its nose, looks of
dunya and the reason the love of Allah, He did not say, a 10 minute dunya a 10 minute risk, something from this dunya comes to him, something from provision comes to you. That's too cheap. Someone that proves and makes the Hereafter is concerned. Allah azza wa jal gives him a dounia the entire world in life would come to hear of him by force. Why would it come by force? You know why? Because the believer that makes the hereafter he's concerned is no longer interested in a dunya what dunya is not interested in him. So Allah makes it come to him by force attached to the hour here all right, and now based on the law, he was solemn as * Buhari when a lot of Allah Allah, look at the
king of Persia. Caesar, he sleeps on a mattress on a comfortable mattress and
You are the Prophet of the wall, and you're sleeping on some straw on the earth on the floor. And when you get up in marks your signs, let's give you a comfortable bed, and maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam said to him, nearly while he dunia went early dunia went early. What concern do I have in the wall? And what concern does the world having made this thing? Right? This is the one who makes the hereafter he is concerned Allah azza wa jal blesses him with that and your house How would Allah give him a dunya Allah? Allahu Allah Cooley shame Kadir Allah gave this entire world to slavery with one he made right? And he gave Zachary a child with one die He made when he when the situation was
so impossible. Allah subhanho wa Taala gave the entire Arab land to Ibrahim Alayhi Salam with one block he made was incarnate to the entire world and the emperors of the world. He owned the kingdom of the world with one guy he made for we need to understand Allah who
made the hereafter your concern, Allah azza wa jal will take care of the worldly matters. Apolo Kali how that was done for Allah Allah welcome, first of
all Rahim.
hamdulillah salat wa salam, O Allah May Allah be my brothers in Islam. And the second path and opposite to this is true and there is some Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, woman cannot be dunya humble and whoever made the worldly life he's concerned How does one make the world and life is concerned? An example he sets the alarm for his work and he does not set it for selective pressure. This is his made the hit the wall the life is concerned someone that does that purposely. Chef Evan bells Rahim Allah He considered such a person a careful, the one who purposely neglects to wake up for certain fashion and only sets it up for his work. The one who does this and makes the world life
is concerned. Look how much the other person achieved compared to this guy. He wakes up seven, eight in the morning to guarantee his work is chaotic is full of troubles and problems, maybe even has to start the day with a lie to his boss on I'm coming I'm on the way but when something happened, you know, what am I if he stops like this? What's his punishment? And what's the consequences that are coming after this? And the reason Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says Shut up. Allahu Allahu Shimla, Allah who organizes affairs, so from the very beginning of the day, he's got no idea where to focus on some of his concentration in his family, in his marriage, in his world, in his business. He's got
no idea. He's all over the place, chopped up the love who shall know? And then and maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he says, well, Shahada
and Allah azza wa jal will please poverty right between his eyes. This guy he got up, he the worldly life was his concern he wanted the wrong and only saw as poverty will now put it right between his eyes. And you know, your knee when you put your hand here, right between your eyes. And I say to you look at it. If you look at it enough for a long time, you become you become confused, you become dizzy. This is exactly what happens to this person. He becomes dizzy and confused following this won't be live and that is it. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Well, I'm here to him in a dunya Elana and nothing from this world the life will come to him, except that which
Allah has decreed and ordained for him, that's all. So those special gifts, no blessings, no mercy, no openings from Allah Subhana exactly what was written for you. This is exactly what you'll get. When I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to safeguard us from such a person. And we ask him subhanho wa Taala to always make the hereafter our concern, and we asked him subhanho wa Taala to make us of people who benefit from the polana from the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He by the law had also lost a limb or a hammer qumola Hades Hayden Berea was galva Cherie and Mohammed Abdullah, who saw him and hold your Shahada for Kamala Kamala huhtala marimba Daffy nasi Watanabe
