Assalamu alaykum.
Alhamdulillah.
It is good to be back after 6
months and to see these beautiful faces.
I ask Allah
not to deprive us of each other's
brotherhood in this life and in the afterlife.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
tonight's topic is titled, Uaman araadal akhira.
Whoever Desires the Afterlife.
And I want to begin tonight
with a story
that happened
among the greatest of men to walk this
earth after the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And this is an authentic story narrated by
Imam Ahmed,
A story that happened between Abu Bakr, radiAllahu
anhu,
Omar radiAllahu anhu,
and Uthman
radiAllahu
anhu.
And this story happened during the Khilafah of
Abu Bakr as Sadiq
radiAllahu
anhu.
Uthman radiAllahu
anhu says
that I was sitting
in a place where the people gather and
sit,
And he says, Umar
passed by me
and gave me salaam.
And I did not notice his salaam, so
he did not respond to him.
So
Umar
was bothered by this,
and he continued until he reached Abu Bakr
And he complained in the office of Abu
Bakr
Imagine this, Abu Bakr is the Khalifa at
the time.
He complains.
He says, you Abu Bakr,
I just passed by our brother Uthman,
and I gave him salaam, and he did
not respond to me.
So Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu
took this matter very seriously, and I want
you to pay attention
to the brotherhood that was established among the
Sahaba.
It was a serious matter, no joke.
So imagine how busy Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu
would be,
but he picked himself up and he said
to Umar radiAllahu anhu, let's go and visit
our brother, Uthman, and see what the problem
is.
The busiest man in Al Madinah, he said
let's drop everything and go and deal with
this manna right now before it grows.
Brotherhood was valued among them.
What has happened to us? We ask Allah
to rectify brotherhood among us.
So they both went towards where Uthman
was sitting.
Abu Bakr approached
Uthman. He said, You Uthman,
this is your brother, Omar. He came to
me complaining
that moments ago he passed by you. He
gave you salaam and you did not respond.
So Uthmar
said, Wallahi,
he did not pass by me and he
did not give me salaam.
He didn't realize at
all. So Umar was
frustrated.
He said,
I passed by him, and I gave him
salaam.
However,
that is the arrogance
of you people, the family of Umayyah, which
is the family of Uthman radiAllahu anhu. It's
getting heated and intense.
So Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu,
he said to
Omar, by Allah, Uthman has spoken the truth.
And he did not notice that you walked
in front of him and gave him salaam
because there is something that is bothering him
and occupying his mind.
Haven't you realized that sometimes in your life,
you might be so busy and occupied with
something
that I may walk in front of you
or give you salaam or say something to
you or your wife may say something or
your husband may say something to you or
your children may say something.
You say, wallahi wallahi, he I I wasn't
I didn't even notice.
That's what happened here.
So, Arul Waqir
he said, the aufman.
What is it?
What is it that has occupied your mind
and bothered you? That you didn't even notice
your brother passing by you and giving you
salaam? Indeed, it has to be a huge
thing.
So Ufmar he
said,
and Nabi
passed away
and I forgot to ask him about
Manajat
Uthak Al Amr.
I forgot to ask him
what are the deeds I should do
that will earn me safety on the day
of judgment?
Shifty's
concern? His concern was the afterlife. He was
bothered so much
that he's stressing out. I didn't ask him
Nabi
what will save me on that day when
people are being destroyed and ruined and punished?
So Abu Bakr
said, by Allah,
I asked the messenger
this question during his life.
So Ufner
out of happiness and joy and excitement got
up and
he said to him,
He says, may my mother and father be
sacrificed for you.
You are the most rightful person to ask
this question to the messenger
Please share the answer with us.
So then Abu Bakr
said,
I said to the messenger
What would save us
from the horrors and the terror of the
day of judgment?
When Nabi said,
He said to him, Nabi salallahu alaihi wa
sallam said,
the one who accepts
the word
that I delivered to my uncle
and he rejected,
it would be a severe for him on
the day of judgment.
And the word that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
delivered to his uncle and preached to him
and to entire humanity
is la ilaha illallah, the word of a
Tawhid.
Indeed, a Tawhid is the major matter that
will save you and I from the horrors
and the terror of the day of judgment.
But brothers and sisters in Islam, if we
observe and look into this story once again,
we realize
Uthmer
is from the 10 that were granted the
paradise and guaranteed the paradise.
Yet he is still so bothered
by the preparation for the day of judgment
that he does not realize.
Umar passing by him and giving him salaam.
What are you bothered by, You Uthman? But
you're already guaranteed the paradise.
Why are you stressing so much?
Why does it seem that the main concern
for you is the afterlife?
Indeed, this is a quality and a treat
of a believer.
He's not deceived by his actions and by
his deeds and by his goodness.
And deceived by the words of the people
and the priests of him. He continues to
work
pleasing Allah
until the day he meets Allah Az Zawajal.
Today,
you might pass by someone,
and he might
respond in the same manner of man responded.
And he might say to you, brother, I
did not realize you walked past me and
gave me salaam.
But the difference is in nowadays,
you might say, brother,
what occupied your mind? Perhaps 90% of the
time, it's something worldly related.
Some debt that he has, some work that
he has, something related to the worldly life,
not to the afterlife.
We ask
Allah to rectify our state and our affairs.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
the believer should not make the mean and
the greatest concern of his in this life,
the worldly life, and its provision.
That should not be the mean and the
greatest concern of the of the believer.
Because the end of the day, we are
all leaving
what we accumulated
and acquired in this worldly life. And we're
moving on to a life that is permanent
that doesn't end and that is a life
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the paradise.
So what Allah
gave you in this worldly life, you must
use it to build your afterlife.
So your main concern
should be the afterlife in preparation for that.
And there are many ahadith
and many ayaat in the Quran
that repeat this matter over and over and
over again.
Allah
He
said,
Allah
speaks about believers
and he says whoever
desires the afterlife,
meaning the afterlife should be a desire for
the believer.
You should have passion,
engulfing, flaming passion and love for the afterlife
because that's where you will see and you
will meet your maker and creator.
How can you not have this as your
main and greatest concern?
Allah says,
Then he said,
And he exerted the effort Jew taught,
meaning there is a path that you're supposed
to take
and follow
in order for the afterlife to be your
mean and greatest concern.
This
topic is repeated a lot in the Quran,
a lot in the Sunnah. And I tell
you something.
When a topic is made mention of
many times in the Quran with sunnah,
it is an evidence of something.
It is an evidence of the fact that
the disease
of the love and the concern of this
worldly life
and neglecting the afterlife in preparation for the
afterlife
has become
rampant and widespread among the people.
The disease of the love of this worldly
life and the attachment to this worldly life
is a great disease and a sickness
that has become a pandemic
of this day and age.
That's why Allah will
mention
more than
many times
in the Quran
about making sure that your main purpose and
your main concern in this world, the life
is the afterlife.
When Nabi
repeats this to his companions over a 100
times,
because the disease of the attachment to this
worldly life is going to become widespread.
And what do we mean by this? Brothers
and sisters in Islam, it's not haram to
love this worldly life.
It's not haram
to acquire its wealth and to love the
wealth and to spend it. It's not haram.
When does the attachment to this worldly life
become haram? When?
It becomes haram
when you don't care how you acquire it.
When you are acquiring this world worldly life
through al halaalalal Haram, you don't care. Through
arribah, through al haraam,
selling drugs, stealing others, taking loans from people,
not paying it back.
That's when the attachment to the worldly life
becomes haram and dangerous in your case.
And the other thing that makes it haram
to love this worldly life and attach to
it,
when you have become so attached
that now you don't have time for your
obligations and for your responsibilities.
You've neglected us salawat.
You've neglected al Masjid. You've neglected salatuljumah.
Because,
oh, I have work. I'm making money. Sorry,
I can't come to
And when you abandon your responsibilities,
the wife complains about her husband, we don't
see him.
Maybe maybe
once a week we see him for a
couple of hours and then after that,
he's with the boys the whole day, the
whole night, and he's at his work the
entire day and the entire night. We don't
know where he is.
When this worldly life becomes a reason for
you,
in where you're acquiring it from Al Haram,
and it becomes a reason for why you've
neglected the obligations,
and you've neglected responsibility
to family members and your children and your
parents.
Now the worldly life and your attachment to
it is haram. It's dangerous. It's going to
destroy you.
But if you're earning from this worldly life
through the halal means that Allah has made
And by the way, there will be a
lot of barakah in this and it'll be
satisfying
more than the one who acquired Al Haram.
He'll never be satisfied.
And if the worldly life did not distract
you from a salat,
1 salat, 2 salat in al masjid,
from your Quran.
It didn't distract you from your family, and
your wife, and your husband, and your children.
Alhamdulillah.
Your relationship with this worldly life is healthy,
it's good, and there's nothing to be condemned
about that.
Then Allah
when he condemned the love of this life,
he said,
He said, you people love.
And meaning the worldly life.
From for something to rush because everything in
this worldly life is rushed. Haven't you seen
the attitude of people today? Rush, rush, rush
everything Allah quick, quick, quick. How we can
finish this quick? And how can this service
be delivered quick? And who's faster? And who's
delivering quicker.
Even this is marketing strategies now among the
com companies.
Who'll deliver it in half an hour? Who'll
deliver your order in 15 minutes?
That's a dunya. That's it's it is.
You'd rather pay a lot more for something
to come quicker than pay less for something
to come longer and later.
That's it's called an ajila. Allah condemned those
who love this worldly life.
Then he said immediately after,
and you neglect and you abandon the preparation
for the war afterlife.
So if your attachment for this life
was at the expense of abandoning preparation for
the afterlife,
that love is condemned.
That love is going to destroy you without
you even knowing.
So you be careful with me and understand
what we mean
by loving and attaching yourself to this worldly
life. No problems.
Enjoy what Allah gave you on earth.
But
let it not be an obstacle and a
barrier between you and preparation for the afterlife.
And once again, two signs
will tell you that you're on a dangerous
path. If you're acquiring its wealth through Al
Hawa
and if it's distracting from the obligations and
your responsibilities.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
in Nabi
he said in the hadith,
He said, whoever among mankind
made the afterlife his greatest concern.
Allah
promised him three things. And I'm going to
tell you step by step how can the
person make the afterlife his greatest concern.
But for this person, he's promised 3 things.
Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Jama Allahu
lahu amrahu
Allah will organize his affairs. Allahu Akbar.
How beautiful is this reward, especially in a
day and age where people's affairs are all
disorganized and over the place.
Today if you see a brother or you
see a sister and his eyes are rolling
and going around, Yeah. What's wrong with you?
I have debts. I have bills. I have
wife. I have situations. I have my children.
I'm trying to get this. He's
disorganized.
He's got no clue how to be productive
during the day and what to complete and
what to accomplish of all the life projects.
He's all over the place.
And Nabi said,
the one who made the afterlife his greatest
concern.
Allah will organize his affairs.
Perhaps he'll have a lot of on his
plate, but he seems to be calm and
he's able to complete what he needs to
do during the day and during the night.
Not only this reward, but in Nabi says
Allah
will place richness in his heart.
His heart will be wealthy.
Rich in his heart. Forget the pocket. Rich
in the heart. What does it mean to
be rich and wealthy in the heart?
It means Allah will give you contentment
with whatever you gain on this wealthy life.
Haven't you seen brothers and sisters in Islam?
People that have tens and 1,000,000 of dollars.
They live like a poor person.
His heart is not content. He's still running
after more.
Whereas there are some
that don't have a fraction of what he
has,
perhaps sleeping and living in tents.
And he is peaceful
and tranquil and content with what Allah gave
him.
Indeed, the Nabi
once asked Abu Dharr. He said, Abu Dharr,
who do you consider the rich and the
poor man?
Abu Dharr
perhaps just like us, he answered the way
we would have answered. He said, you Rasool
Allah, the poor man is the one who
doesn't have the dollar and the cent in
his pocket. He doesn't have money.
And the rich man among us is the
one who is loaded.
He has the cash.
Nabi said to him,
He corrected his understanding.
He said to him, the rich among you
are those who are rich in their heart,
content with whatever Allah gave them from Al
Halal.
And the poor among you
are those who despite having
treasures,
they're still not content in their heart. SubhanAllah.
And they rush to acquire the worldly life,
even if it meant to disobey Allah's commands
and take it from Al Haram.
Allahu Akbar.
So there we go. That's the second benefit,
That the heart will be content with what
Allah
gives you.
And the 3rd matter,
And the worldly life will come to you
on its nose.
Allah
will open doors and opportunities
that you never requested and you never ran
after.
The worldly life on its nose, it will
come to you.
Humiliated
on its nose, it will come despite you
not wanting it. These
are the rewards
of the one who made the main concern,
his afterlife.
The world will come running after him even
if he doesn't want it. It'll come to
him.
Look at the case of Suleyman, alayhis salaam.
One of the lines comes running after him.
He doesn't even want anything of it. Allahu
Akbar.
So brothers and sisters in Islam,
I share with you a hadith that's also
important on this matter. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said,
manjaalalhuma
hammanwahhidah.
Nabi
says,
whoever focuses on only one concern,
and that is the concern of the afterlife.
You see, we have many concerns,
financial concerns,
relationship
concerns,
health concerns,
whatever it is of concerns.
And then there is the afterlife concern.
Nabi
said, Whoever
focuses on just one concern,
which is the afterlife.
And you see, every single concern you have,
it's poisonous.
It doesn't contribute to the betterment of your
health.
Every worldly concern will take away from your
health slowly and surely.
It'll take away from your health. There's no
doubt. Every stress and every concern over any
worldly life problem will take away from you.
And Nabi
he said
Whoever focuses his concerns to only one concern,
the only healthiest concern
that will make you glow and grow is
the concern of the afterlife.
Every other concern is going to destroy your
health.
The only one concern
that is beautiful and good for you to
have is the concern of the afterlife.
The concern of the first night in your
grief.
Have you ever thought of this?
How are you going to spend the 1st
night in the grieve?
When the people have put you there,
put the dirt onto you and have walked
away.
Have you had a concern when you come
out from your grieve and you're naked, barefooted,
circumcised
and poor having nothing of this worldly life
with you over there?
These are the great concerns you're supposed to
have. Have you ever had a concern
that on the very same scale Abu Bakr,
radiAllahu anhu's deeds were placed on? That's the
very same scale your deeds are going to
be placed on.
You prepared for that day? You have a
concern?
Nabi
says whoever focuses his concerns on one concern,
and that is the afterlife.
He said
Allah
will be enough for his concerns in this
worldly life.
Meaning every concern you'll have in this dunya
Allah will look after and will take care
of it for you.
Then he
says: and whoever scatters his concerns
among the matters of this world, you
have a concern financially related or here related
or somewhere here, or you're concerned about your
car and its service and when it sells
and when it buys or this one. Yeah,
your
concerns are scattered and dispersed everywhere.
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
Allah
will
Allah
does not matter
to him. He does not care
which of these concerns
causes your death and your destruction.
Inevitably, one of these will cause you that
much stress that you will die from it,
and Allah does not care which one will
take you out of this worldly life.
So brothers and sisters in Islam, making the
concern of the afterlife
should be the greatest concern
of the believers.
How do we do this?
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
making the afterlife your greatest concern
is not with words you say at the
beginning of the day.
It's not like you get up in the
morning and you say Allah Bismillah
InshaAllah today the afterlife is my main concern.
That it doesn't look like that.
Making the afterlife your greatest concern
is a moment and a stance of action
that is required from you from the early
hours of the morning.
The one who made the afterlife his greatest
concern
will be up before Salatul Fazir.
Will be definitely up before solat al fajr.
Find for yourself
half an hour,
1 hour,
maybe as a start 15 minutes before Adar
al fajr.
This is the last third of the night.
This is only for people who are serious
in their relationship with Allah.
The doors are open.
Allah
has descended to the lowest heaven.
And he is asking
throughout the last third of the night,
is there anyone that will request anything from
me so that I may give him?
Is there anyone that is seeking my forgiveness
so that I can forgive him? And he
continues to repeat this
all throughout
that last 3rd of the night until Adhan
al Fajr.
The one who's made the afterlife, his greatest
concern will be up at that time.
When you get up my brothers and my
sisters in Islam half an hour before Salat
Al Fajr,
Bismillah,
you wake up and you begin with Al
Wudu.
Watch this.
As you head towards Al Udu in this
cold freezing weather,
you turn on the tap. Perhaps it'll take
some time before it warms up, and there
is no problem for it to run until
it warms up.
It's not considered wasting water,
as Al Ulamah Rahim
have answered concerning this matter.
So it's fine to turn the taps on,
to wait until
it warms up.
Then you begin your wudu.
And
then
Nabi
he
said,
Listen to this virtue. Allah
says a person from among this Ummah
gets up at night,
and he strives and struggles and fights against
himself to make alwubu,
meaning it's not something easy, it's something difficult.
Informed us of this unseen matter.
There are knots.
So when this person wakes up and washes
his hands,
one knot is undone.
When he washes his face, another knot is
undone.
Until he wipes his he washes his foot
and a third
knot is undone.
Now he'll be productive for that day and
he's energetic.
Allah azza wa jal from above observes what
you do
even if your family members around you have
no clue what you're doing.
Then Allah
he says to the angels,
Allah tells the angels that are behind the
veil of
Allah Take a look at my slave.
Look at him.
Allah
is taking pride of this slave and this
servant. He's showing him off to the angels.
Look at this slave of mine.
Look what he's doing for my sake.
This is how you make the afterlife your
greatest concern. It's not words. It's a moment
of action you're going to establish for yourself
throughout your life.
He says, look at this sleeve of mine.
Go ahead my slave. Ask me.
Ask me.
Allah
says whatever he asks me, I'm going to
grant him whatever he asks me. I'm going
to grant him. Allah says it twice.
They said the first time Allah says it
is for your worldly needs.
Whatever you ask him of worldly needs, he's
going to grant you.
And the second time Allah says it is
for your afterlife needs. Whatever you ask for
your afterlife,
Allah
will grant you.
He hasn't even started praying.
Look at the position he's in. He's in
a perfect position of an accepted dua.
Allah is taking pride of this slave and
showing him off to the angels.
As I haven't even started.
Brothers and sisters in Islam also focus and
be aware of the fact that when you
make war,
it is washing away your sins.
The sins that are going to destroy you
and I if we die and they're still
not removed from our account.
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says as in
the hadith of
that when a person washes his face, all
the sins of the face they drop. The
sins of the eye, and how many sins
are we exposed to on a day to
day basis, especially with this hair.
The eye is exposed to,
and all the sins of the tongue, and
the sins of the ee all of this
is washed away as you are washing the
face.
And you wash your hands, and the sins
of the hands are going, and you wash
your feet, and the sins of the feet
are being washed away.
When you're making Wubu, I want you to
change your perspective.
Many of us when we make Wubu,
we attach the concept of Wubu to a
fakli batter.
What does that mean? Meaning we ask ourselves,
did I lose my wobo?
If I engaged in a deep sleep, I
lost my wobo. I'm gonna make wobo.
If I relieve myself, I lost my wobo.
I'm gonna make wobo.
Don't have this perspective anymore. Change it.
Ask yourself,
did I sin from last obu until now?
If you did sin, go and make obu.
Don't ask yourself, did I eat camel meat
or not?
Did I go to the toilet or not?
Forget this. We all know this. Have a
higher relationship with al Ubu. Ask yourself,
did I sin from last time?
If you did go and make Ubu. This
is why Nabi
would make Ubu for every salat,
every single salat he'll make Ubu.
And I want you to internalize this meaning
as you're making an Abu'l in the morning.
This is someone who actually makes the afterlife
his greatest concern. Look how it started.
Fajr hasn't even taken place yet. And look
at his beginning.
That's someone serious about his afterlife.
Afterwards
and after if you meet this Uru,
head towards a prayer area in your house
and there is no problem to designate a
special area in your house for a salat
and it is also permissible to move from
place to place in your house and pray
there's no issue concerning this or that.
Head towards your prayer area
and intend
if you're starting this and you're new to
this start with Tulaqa'at.
If you've already began this journey, it's time
to upgrade.
Come up to 4 rakaat now.
If you've already been doing 4 for many
years, it's time to upgrade. Come up to
6 rakaat.
See where you are. Increase it. Push it
up a little bit. No problems. You're preparing
for your afterlife.
You'll appreciate
doing this later on when you're standing before
Allah
And moments before you leave this worldly life,
you'll appreciate that you did this.
Increase it. Let's say we're starting here. We're
beginners.
Start off with 2 rakat.
You stand. You face alqiblah, and
you begin to pray. Brothers and sisters in
Islam, this is called
the night prayer. Allah night prayer is not
complicated,
it's not difficult.
2 alaka'at is the minimum
and Allah in the Quran He prays the
Ibadur Rahman One of the qualities he says,
Those who spend some of the night
for their Lord,
in sujood and in standing.
For, their lord, implies sincerity.
The most sincere prayer of the day and
the night will be your night prayer,
because no one can see you. No one
can hear you. Only Allah
sees you.
Abin
Abbas, sir, radiallahu anhu, he said the minimum
to qualify
to be from those people that Allah praised
is to pray 2 rakat at night.
Whoever praised 2 rakat, he's included in this
ayah that Allah praised the Ibaal al Rahman
for spending some of the night praying.
What a virtue. What an honor. Lawhu Akbar.
And then when you pre these 2 rakaat,
what are you going to read? I want
to share with you a hadith.
Nabi he said
listen to this.
He said,
And Nabi
said, whoever stood up
and prayed,
showed gratitude to
Allah, praised Allah,
glorified
Allah,
and emptied his heart out for Allah,
then he will leave that salat
just like a newborn.
Has come out from all his sins.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
isn't that the hadith and the reward of
al Hajj?
You can be a newborn with every 2
raka'at you pray.
Look at the opportunity Allah gives us.
This is someone that actually wants the afterlife.
But I want to go back.
The Hadith said,
glorify praised Allah,
showed gratitude to Allah, glorified Allah. How do
you achieve this? How do you do that
in?
You know how?
Taught us something.
It is by reading Surat al Fatiha in.
Because when you say,
Allah says,
My slave has shown me gratitude.
When you say Arrahmanir Rahim, Allah says Athna
alayya Abdi, My slave has praised me.
When you say Malik yawmid deen, Allah says
Majadani
Abdi, My slave has glorified me. Even that's
the first three things in the hadith, you're
achieving with the first three ayaat of surat
al fatihah.
Then wafarraqalbahu
emptied your
heart for Allah,
meaning
you had no distraction in your heart.
And the time of the day
in where your heart is completely
free
with no distraction is this time of the
day.
So my advice is when you get up
for those 2 o rakat,
listen to me very carefully.
Don't touch your phone.
And more importantly,
don't take it to the bathroom with you.
Don't touch your phone.
When you wake up half an hour before
Adan al Fajr,
wake up fresh
and go to the bathroom.
Do what you have to do and make
your and go straight to.
Don't touch this poison
here, because the moment you touch it, you're
going to pollute your heart.
It'd be the pollution starts.
You open a message, oh, reminds you of
something. You open it, allostaffairullah,
I didn't want to see this in the
first thing of the morning. Heck, this is
how the phone has become.
So you begin to pollute your heart. You
disrupt it now when you're standing insulate your
thinking of what you saw. You haven't emptied
your heart for Allah. That opportunity for a
newborn has gone.
This is a very important tip. Don't touch
this.
Allahu Akbar.
When Nabi says,
whoever preys 2 raka'at
and prays and reads 10 ayaat,
he will not be counted among the heedless
for that night.
If you're not considered from the heedless, meaning
you are recorded from among those who remembered
Allah
How beautiful is that? If you're recorded among
those who have remembered Allah that night, that
means you're preparing for the afterlife.
That means your main concern is the afterlife.
Congratulations.
Keep doing this every single night.
10 aat.
That's
alongside
right? 7+3,
that's 10.
When Nabi
said, and whoever stood the night and read
a 100 ayaat.
Brothers and sisters, if you have been reading
10 ayaat for a long time,
it's time to upgrade.
Come up to a 100 ayaat. Whoever reads
a 100 ayaat
He will be registered and recorded among
those who are obedient
and devout to Allah as soon as an
Qanitin, like Mariam
Like Ibrahim
You want to be ridden in that same
record where Ibrahim's name is?
A 100 ayaat every night. The name will
go down in the same record with Ibrahim
Allahu
Akbar. Whoever's been reading a 100 ayaat,
time to go up. When Nabi
says, and whoever preys
reading 1 1,000 ayaat.
He's recorded from among those who have been
given great huge
reward, cannot be amassed and calculated
except by Allah
What's a 1000 ayaat about Hajar?
He
said
Juzat Tabarak
and Juzat
Amma together makes a 1000 ayaat.
2 ajzat
That's at a later stage. Start working towards
that. Have a goal. Have a plan so
that you're always motivated
to get up at night.
Perhaps on a Sunday when the day is
free, on a Saturday when the day is
free,
grab you almost half
and read Tabarach Jazaamma
for this huge reward.
Having the intention of I'm preparing for my
afterlife,
making my greatest concern the afterlife. And I
tell you something,
Don't rush the prayer.
Don't rush a salat. You know, Allah he
wants.
I walked in a masjid. I'll never forget
this. I'll share it with you. I walked
in a masjid e o salat al jumah.
I walked in early,
and I happened to end up praying next
to an old man, an old man in
the community center.
I prayed a salat, Subhanallah.
Prayed 2 raka'ah just before I sat, very
quick and I sat.
So the old man,
he looked at me and he was smiling.
And he said to me,
I said,
he says, can I give you advice? Look
how beautiful this is. See, when you wanna
give someone advice, tell him that. 100% of
the times it works. He says, can I
give you advice?
Who's gonna say no? A believer that is
honest and really wants the good. I said
to him, yes, please give me advice.
He said, it seemed to be that you
rushed your salat.
I said,
I think I did rush my salat.
He didn't say anything. You know what he
said? He said,
He read to me
too, this is what he did.
Indeed
successful are the believers,
those who have Khosur in their salat.
Brothers and sisters and staff, Allah tied success
to Khosur in salat.
You're looking for success. You know the entire
world is looking for success.
Everyone you see you say, what do you
want in life? I wanna be successful.
And what do you want in life? This
is the same purpose and the goal of
the Muslim of the kafir of anyone.
Everyone wants success.
Yeah, but Allah told you success is in
this.
Success is in that 2 rakaat. You are
going to pray at the end of the
night, and in every salat you are going
to pray.
So why are you rushing your success for?
These are moments in which you're charging your
success.
You're building your success.
You know how they say you got to
come to work early every day and exert
so many hours to build success upon success
upon success?
Your salat does that. Every salat is building
your success and another and another until it
reaches levels
with Allah
So don't rush the prayer.
Don't rush a salat. This is your greatest
relationship with Allah
Some rush the prayer to the point where
Assalat
itself is no longer accepted.
To ask Allah to save us. Nabi
once he was in the Masjid,
A man prayed and then he came to
sit in the presence of the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wasalam.
You know what Nabi salallahu alayhi wasalam said
to him? And that's a man that existed
at that time. He said,
He said to him, brother, go back and
pray because you did not pray.
You know what we learned from this?
Sometimes
you may do the actions of a salat,
but you're considered from among those who did
not pray. That's exactly what this man did.
He did the actions of salah.
And the judgment of Rasulullah
was to say to him, you did not
pray.
Then in that hadith, Nabi highlighted
on an issue that he was missing in
his salat that rendered his salat cancelled and
void.
And that was
And that means that in every position of
a salat,
relax
until all the bones have settled in their
joints.
That is
a ruken. That is a pillar of a
salat.
So when you go into rukuwa,
and hold it for a few seconds
until you've got the position correct.
And you've made sure that all the bones
have settled in their joints.
Once they've taken their position,
now you've done what is satisfactory for us.
When you come up from Arrukuh,
stand there. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait until everything
settles in its place.
Then go into sujood.
As for the one who,
like a rooster, as was mentioned in Hadith,
then this salat is missing.
You're not giving time for your bones to
settle back into their joint.
So that is what is wejab when it
comes to our salat.
So we make sure that we don't rush
it so our salat could be counted and
accepted for us.
And I want to also share with you
something.
These 2 rakat
are also a great opportunity
for a great worship.
I tell you what that is, but I
want you first to think.
Follow with me along,
or follow along with me on this matter.
I'm asking you a question.
What is the greatest and most beloved deed
in the sight of Allah, Asoashil? Who can
tell me?
Praying on time, give me something more specific
in a salat. What is the most beloved
deed to Allah
and the closest you'll ever be to Allah?
A sujood.
A sujood. We all know that, right? And
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says the closest
slave will ever be to Allah is in
a sujood.
If a person is praying only the fort,
how many raka'at is that a day? 17.
In 17 raka'at a day, how many sujood
is there?
17 times 2?
34.
Right? That's the math. 34.
Let's say
in every sujud of the fault, you are
making a sujud
of 10 seconds.
That that doesn't even happen.
People, their sujood, count it. How long is
it?
3 to 4 seconds. Yeah. Let's be generous
and say our sujood is 10 seconds.
Well, imam can't even do 10 seconds because
people are sick and people are old and
An obligation,
the imam has to look after those that
are praying behind him. So he can't pray
as though he's praying alone in his house
and take his time.
So let's just be generous and say every
sujood of the 34 is 10 seconds.
That means 34 sujood during the day means
at the end of the day from 24
hours, you made sujood 6 minutes.
6 minutes.
Now
in 1 year,
if you calculate your sujood of 4th in
1 year,
you would have made a total of 1.5
days of sujood.
1.5 days.
In 60 years, let's say someone lived 60
years, minus these, is not praying and so
on. You would have made sujood
75
days of sixties.
If you were to convert that to a
percentage,
0.3%
of your life is spent in a sujood.
Now let me tell you the question. Are
you prepared
to stand before Allah
and meet him
with 0.3%
of your life
spent in the most beloved deed to him,
and the closest you'll ever be to him?
I don't think anyone's ready.
0.3%
of your life? That's
that's this much?
And it's and this is supposed to be
the greatest
deed that Allah loves to see his sleeve
in.
We got a problem.
What's the solution?
How do we solve this?
Says.
Said, and during the night, prostrate to him
and praise him
a long part of the night.
So I said to you that the night
prayer is an opportunity
to catch up
on a sujood that is the most beloved
to Allah, a sujal.
So in your 2 rakaat,
focus,
relax,
don't rush.
A lot of the catch up needs to
be made during this time.
And make your sujood
sit in your sujood for a minute at
least if you're new to this. 1 minute,
1 minute. You're gonna feel like it's a
mountain on your shoulder, but that's because we're
not used to it.
But what? We can't be sit down and
be sad and depressed about, we're gonna do
something about it,
Are you still alive?
Do something. Start.
30 seconds.
One minute for every sujood.
So at the end of your tour, that's
4 minutes spent in a sujood.
Feel it,
and let that 0.3%
start increasing in your life
and have this intention and perhaps you meet
Allah
and he grants you a great reward. We
don't know. But let's do our best and
what we can.
And as you're in your
sujood, you're praising Allah
the most high. Shuf, how beautiful is this?
Reflect.
In Ruqur, we say
Are we?
In sujood,
we say Why wasn't it flipped around?
Why couldn't we say
Listen very carefully.
Al Ala means the most high.
And the Most High opposite to that is
the Most Low.
When you are in the lowest position ever
and that is the most noble of you
goes to the lowest part, which is the
ground.
From there, Allah wants you to declare that
he's the most high.
See the meaning?
You will not
appreciate the meaning of Allah being the most
high until you are the lowest.
So go down. Not require it. Go down
even more.
Put that face of yours
that you will not put down for anyone
else but Allah
into the ground.
Smother it into the Earth.
And from there,
say,
it will have any completely
different taste to it.
When you know what you're doing, the worship
is going to wallahi will sit there longer
than a minute. Trust me.
You got to build on these things slowly
slowly. SubhanAllah.
Keep repeating. Keep going.
10 times, 20 times. Take your time. Subhan.
My lord. It wasn't SubhanAllah.
The words in a sujud are personal.
I praise
my Lord,
the most high. Subhan means perfect.
Perfection belongs to him.
He's perfect in every way
because all his names and attributes and actions
are perfect. There's no flaw. There's no imperfection
in them whatsoever.
Taste the meaning. Understand what they're saying. You'll
sit there more than a minute.
SubhanAllah,
Fasjud is going to give us the opportunity
to make the most and catch up.
Wallahi, there was a shaykh
that told us a story.
He said
I entered Al Masjid Al Haram
and I performed my Umrah
and after al Umrah he said I wanted
to rest and relax a little bit.
So I sat on the carpeted area in
al Masjid Al Haram.
He said as soon as I sat I
observed someone coming in standing and beginning his
prayer. And it was about 2 to 3
hours before Al Fajr.
He said, I just saw him because he
was the only one in my vision that
was praying.
And I saw him until he entered into
a sujood.
And he sat.
He was in a sujood
for a while.
He said, Wallahi, I counted for him 40
minutes in a sujood.
And I said to myself,
if he wasn't enjoying it he wouldn't have
lasted 40 minutes.
You can't do 40 minutes if you don't
enjoy it, and you cannot enjoy it if
you don't know what you're doing.
These are 2 things you have in your
mind. This is a lot of catch up
I'm making.
Number 2, Rabbi Al Aleh.
I'm the lowest, he's the highest.
And that hopefully will enhance
the time you will put in that. Allahi
brothers and sisters in Islam.
A sheikh Avawz also told us a story
about an old woman that came and asked
him a question.
She said to him, Yes Sheikh,
I'm old now, and I'm very weak, and
I cannot stand very long on my feet.
And
we used to pray, and we used to
recite 1 juzah per rakah in a salat.
Is it allowed for me
to now reduce it to half a Juzet
per rakah?
An old woman.
She's asking, is it allowed to reduce from
1 Juzet to half a Juzet per rakah?
What are we gonna say about ourselves?
Well,
even 1
or 2
ask Allah
to bestow his mercy upon us.
And to honor us with
For indeed the prayer of the night is
an honor for the believer.
Jibril alayhi salam
said to Nabi salallahu alayhi wasalam
and nasharafal mumim kia mumu bill layl. He
said to Nabi
you better know and inform your ummah as
well that the honor of the believer
is his prayer at night.
You don't have prayer
at the night.
I don't know. Do you have honor or
not?
The believer charges up his honor
in the night prayer
because you are engaged in a conversation with
Allah and
that's the most honorable position to ever be
in. Because the day is gonna come, and
the day is gonna be be a long
and difficult day, because you're going to be
speaking to human beings, and this human, and
moving from this person, and phone call, and
someone upsets you, and someone angers you.
Dealing with human beings is very difficult.
So if you don't have a part of
the night in where you're talking to Allah,
how do you recharge?
Where are you gonna get your honor from?
After you finish your tour,
sit down
and engage in Alistair Afar.
One of the qualities of the righteous is
that they use that time of a sahar,
which is sukur time,
which is about 15 minutes before Adhan al
Fajr
in seeking Allah's forgiveness.
That's the best thing you can do at
that time.
If you're serious about the afterlife being your
greatest and main concern,
at that time you will be sitting making
istighfar,
and the best istighfar
is to say.
O Allah grant me forgiveness, and my parents
grant them forgiveness, and the general Muslims and
female and male Muslims grant them forgiveness as
well.
And for every single Muslim
male and female you will earn a reward
if you seek forgiveness for them.
The day hasn't even started.
Look at the type of reward this person
has collected in his bags and in his
record.
Hey. This is a person that is serious
about the afterlife being his main and greatest
concern.
Then afterwards brothers and sisters in Islam
Adhan al Fajr enters
and you pray 2 raka'at
sunnat al fajr
and you never ever missed that And even
if you did not have time to pray
it before salatul fajr, pray it after salatul
fajr.
Because Nabi
never left out the 2 raka'at of al
fajr, whether he was a resident or a
traveler.
When Nabi
says the 2 raka'at of Fajr, meaning the
sunnah 2 raka'at
are much better than this worldly life and
everything that is in this worldly life.
How does that make sense? Like how?
Imagine someone offered you
$10,000,000
Said to your brother,
come to my office. I'm going to hand
you a briefcase of $10,000,000
When Nabi
from this end is telling you the 2
rakaat you'll pray is a lot better than
that suitcase and what's in it.
How does that make sense?
How how does it make sense? I'll tell
you how. This is how it makes sense.
They said,
because
the reward of these 2 raka'at is going
to be permanent.
You're gonna die in the 2 raka'at, and
its reward is going to enter your grave
and keep going until you're resurrected from your
grave until it's put on the scale.
Whereas this worldly life, even if you had
it all in your pocket, the day you
die, it's all gone away from you.
It's temporary.
And what is permanent is a lot better
than what is temporary.
Wallah, literally everything will go away.
They say that even
yeah. Imagine
a person lost a tooth and put a
golden tooth instead of it.
If the family forgot that golden tooth, they'll
dig him up and take the golden tooth
and put it back.
You're going with nothing.
Allah.
Your parent the the family will say, well,
we buried our dad and we forgot this
tooth. Don't dig him up. We're crying. They'll
take it out and they'll bury him back.
Tooth.
Stop. You're gonna take it. You will not
benefit from it. Even that's gonna go out.
I feel there's no mercy.
You're gonna leave only with your deeds.
That's what's permanent. That's why the 2 akhahat
is a lot better than this worldly life.
And then add to this, every deed of
goodness you do is much better than this
worldly life and everything else.
Based on this logic, because all of it
will be going with you until you meet
Allah
with it.
So don't miss them out.
You pray them.
Afterwards,
head to Al Masjid.
Head to Al Masjid
to pray Salat al Fajid.
Don't sit at home and pray it at
home.
Unless you're sick
or you're a traveler
or you're extremely
far away from Al Masjid, then you have
an excuse not to get there. That's a
different story. That's something
that is temporary.
But your permanent
permanent permanent situation with salat and fajr
should be in Al Masjid. When you're healthy,
you're a resident in your house,
pray it in Al Masjid.
That's what the Masjid was built for.
Otherwise, why was it made? You see, I'll
tell you something. I'll tell you something. Look
how encouraging. This is perhaps the first time
you ever hear it. Brothers and sisters in
Islam,
initially initially fundamentally,
we are supposed to be praying every salat
in Al Masjid Al Haram,
right in front of Al Kaaba.
But Allah
knows
that not everyone can do this
because people are gonna live around the globe
and wherever they may be. That's impossible. How
are we gonna pray 5 prayers and a
Muslim Al Haram?
It takes 14 hour 15 hours to get
there. You can't.
So Allah gave permission
for houses of his to be built on
earth.
So like the mother is Al Masjid Al
Haram
and its children around the world will be
Al Masjid.
Then Allah
decreed,
when the time of salat enters,
if you cannot get to Al Masjid Al
Haram,
enter any one of these closed masjid and
face Al Masjid Al Haram.
And that's why the one who prays salat
alfarb
in Jame'ah,
his reward is the reward of a Hajj.
And Nabi
he
says in the authentic hadith,
the one who walks
to an obligatory prayer in Al Masjid,
it would be recorded for him as though
he had performed
a Hajj.
And the similarity here is in reward,
not insufficiency.
So if you've never done Al Hajj,
you can't say, brother,
I completed
my Hajj, I prayed the masjid.
Now you're gonna go pay your money and
go to al Hajj and do your Hajj.
The similarity in al Hadith is reward, not
sufficiency.
Imagine every single salat for the Upray and
al Masjid reward Hajj. So you can possibly
earn the reward of 5 Hajj
every single day if you are to pray
the prayers in Al Masjid.
And anyone who prayed a voluntary prayer in
Al Masjid earns the reward of a Umrah.
Like, if you are to pray
or salat al buha
or the eclipse prayer or whatever is prayed
of the nawafil prayer in al Masjid.
See how al Masjid,
it's tied to the house of Allah. You
face al Kaaba, it's reward Hajj, Umrah.
It's as though a person has reached the
house of Allah, Asooshil.
And this is why the masajid were built.
Allah
gave permission for these houses
that they
the name of Allah is raised in them.
As salah is raised in them.
So use them for what they were made
for.
And there's
a woman that preys at home,
and the sick person that preys at home,
and the traveler that preys at home that
used to pray in the Masjid,
will all
earn the same reward as the man that
preys in the Masjid.
So nothing is missing out for the sisters.
Often the sisters worry,
and they say what about me? Should I
attend the Masjid to earn this reward?
We say no. We say definitely you can
attend the Masjid and pray no problems,
but if you prayed in the house, you
will earn the exact same reward
as the man that prays in Al Masjid.
This
is the virtue of Allah
Well, there is a big big pandemic
in this Ummah.
Many many Muslims
don't pray.
They don't pray it on time,
and that is a disaster.
How can you claim that the afterlife is
your greatest concern
if you're not even praying
on time?
What in Taiwan? How's the afterlife your greatest
concern? How?
How? Explain to yourself, not to me. Explain
to yourself.
How are you going to prove on the
day of judgement
that the afterlife was your greatest concern
when you're sleeping straight through salat al fajr
not caring to get up and only caring
to get up for work an hour or
2 or whatever it is later?
If you miss
once every while, once every 6, 7 months,
yeah, I mean, no problem. Still
still give condolences to yourself on that day
and be upset on that day.
But if you're praying
once every 6 months,
then enter
the heart is is somewhere in your body,
somewhere else. The heart has died.
The heart has died indeed.
Indeed, we say to you.
You need to wake up from this heedlessness
and from this slumber,
and you still have time. You're still alive.
Correct it in order for the afterlife to
be your greatest concern.
Salatul Fajr. Nabi
he said,
he saw in his dream
a man laying down
and an angel grabbing a boulder
and smashing it on his head and the
head smashed into many pieces
and the boulder will roll
then the head will come back to form
and shape then the angel will get that
boulder and slam it on his head once
again.
And the head will be scattered,
and pieces of it will fly all over
the place, then it's brought again, and that
continues as a punishment until the day of
judgment.
So then,
Nabi
was told by the angels,
As for the one who you saw whose
head was being
crushed in that manner,
then that is someone who
He knows the importance of the Quran, but
he abandoned and neglected the Quran.
And he sleeps straight through the obligated prayer.
He ignores, he neglects
the obligated salat,
but the punishment came on his head. Why?
I know when you pray, when you're sleeping,
you're taking comfort with your head on the
pillow.
Brothers and sisters in Islam,
that pillow is temporary comfort.
That pillow will turn against you, and it'll
become a greater source of punishment against you,
when now
the boulder is being thrown on such a
person's head. We ask Allah Azzawajal to save
us from such a punishment.
So don't think the pillow is offering comfort.
That's deception.
The pillow is deceiving you.
Wallahi, it's deceiving you. That's not comfort.
In nama, the one who gets up and
prays, he will enjoy the everlasting comfort in
his grave and in the afterlife.
Walking to Al Masjid at night
when it is dark and gloomy
is a source of light on the day
of judgment.
When the munafiqun
are struggling to look for some light to
walk on a salat,
And, alhamdulillah,
your Surat has charged up your battery really
well,
and your headlights are beaming.
And you're crossing a Surat
amidst this darkness that Allah
overwhelms mankind with
Allahu Akbar as the messenger said.
Brothers and sisters,
the one who prays salatul fajr
in jama'ah
earns
the reward as though he prayed the entire
night.
Allahu Akbar.
Now now I told you get up half
an hour before Adhan al Fushr
and pray 2 raka'at.
But would you like the reward of that
whole night, even those 5 hours that you
spent sleeping?
Come and pray your salat in al Masih.
It's salat take 10 minutes, and go back
home,
and continue your sleep, or do what you
like.
You would have put in your record the
reward of an entire night in salat as
though you never slept.
Show how Allah is generous?
If you are serious about making the afterlife
your greatest concern,
then Allah will meet that passion of yours
with an abundance of reward.
You just move. Put that little bit of
effort and you'll see great reward on the
other side.
That's the night prayer. It frees you from
hypocrisy. Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said the
heaviest salat upon the
is salat al fajr and salat al aisha.
So the one who's praying salat al fajr
in al Masjid,
he saved himself from hypocrisy, and it's good
evidence that he's not a hypocrite.
These are meanings we ask Allah that he
allows us to live up to and that
we can accomplish them.
After we're coming towards the end of our
talk,
sit down
and engage in after
the prayer.
Sit down still remembering
this is this is why or this is
how the afterlife is my greatest concern, so
sit down.
Astaghfirullahatubuileh
3 times
If you can't say it 33 times, the
minimum is 10 times each. Say it.
Sit down. Don't rush.
You see the people have you observed the
state of the people today after us salat
and how they rush?
Wallahi, you think like someone's following them with
a stick telling them get out of a
masjid.
Especially at salat al Jumayran is jammed on
the border, and they're stuck in trying to
come out the ark. What's wrong?
As though what's outside is better than in
what's inside.
As though who you're going to meet outside
is better than who you are in conversion
with with Allah
Relax.
Relax. Take your time.
Sit down and engage in your
After al afghar, begin to recite.
The supplication of the morning and the evening.
And if you've never heard of this before,
open the book, The Fortress of the Muslim.
There's many apps. Download it. Go to the
section,
morning dhikr, afternoon dhikr.
There are about 24.
Read them. If you can't do all 24
and you're new to this type of worship,
do one.
At least 1, at least 2, 3, something.
But to redirect it altogether, well, that's a
problem.
This is an issue. And they are a
Muslim.
And you want to have and you want
to build these habits in your life and
die upon them.
So that you can prove at least to
yourself and say Alhamdulillah.
I hope Allah accepts my efforts
of making the afterlife my greatest concern.
I
spent the last 2 years
explaining the morning and evening afghar. Alhamdulillah,
we completed that course and it's uploaded on
YouTube.
And I recommend for you that you listen
to an episode once a week. There are
30 episodes.
Listen
and learn and understand
how powerful Al Ghar Subhaah al Mas'a is.
By Allah I promise you if you only
hear 3 to 4 lectures not the all
30, 3 to 4.
You will you will ask yourself:
How have I been living all this time
and not seeing what Allah wanted me to
say?
It's not worship, but it is a very
stressed upon sunnah for you and I to
say.
It charges the heart with certainty, with iman.
It changes your vision, your focus in life,
your mindset. The reward is is unbelievable.
It's medicine. It's protection from evil, from envy,
from jealousy, from magic. It is abundance of
reward. It's whatever you want is all in
there. There is even a zikr in there
that if you say at once, then Allah
records for you as though you have fulfilled
the gratitude of that day.
You won't feel guilty about all, did I
thank Allah enough today? Of course, we will
never be able to thank Allah enough, but
from the mercy of Allah, one dhikr you
say, it will be written. You have
achieved a satisfactory level of being grateful to
Allah for today.
A lifesaver indeed and a life changer.
Listen to those and connect with that
after you read your afkar after us salat
and afkar sabah
read something of the Quran. One page. And
no one understand
that doing afghar after
and afghar of the morning is a lot
better than reading the Quran immediately after.
Pay attention to what I'm saying. Most definitely
is the best on earth,
but when something is legislated for its time
that would be better than.
So what is supposed to be said after.
So the one who says the after
the prayer
is better than the one who is reading
Quran straight after
because
after
comes at that time.
Otherwise, where where else are you going to
say them? So that's better. You understand?
And then you read some Quran,
and now
from finally coming.
To say it how many times? Who knows?
A 100 times. You can 10 times. One
time is narrated. 10 times is narrated. The
minimum is 1. 10 is better than 1.
A 100 is better than 10, but all
3 have been narrated in terms of numbers.
And the 100 could be split. 50 in
the morning, 50 in the evening, no problems.
But
as you sit there and you say,
you keep repeating it.
You will realize
that this entire universe was created for the
fulfillment of this word.
Then you begin to ask us, Anna, what
was I rushing to?
What am I rushing to? This whole world
was created for this world.
The hellfire was created
for The paradise was created
for What am I rushing to?
You'd rather sit and spend some time with
your maker and your creator,
and you'll realize the you'll realize the worthlessness
of this worldly life. That the worldly life
would not have existed without
So what were you rushing to?
You see, if your morning starts like this,
the sun hasn't even come up yet,
and you walk outside the Masjid having done
all this now.
Allahu Akbar, what is this?
Such a person now
has the correct frequency in life.
He's tuned into the right frequency.
He knows now how to tackle the
challenges and the calamities of the day. Allahi,
brothers and sisters, compare this person
to the one who slipped through the whole
night.
Gets up late,
the sun has come out.
Rushes, maybe he makes wudu and prays al
fajr.
Maybe maybe he says, you know what? It's
gone. I'll pray tomorrow.
What a horrible start. That's why Nabi sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam said, and whoever made this
worldly life his main concern,
Allahu will disorganize his affairs.
Such a person, you do find them waking
up, maybe he's late to work. He already
begins his, oh, allah boss, and now I'm
coming late. Subhanallah. He just got sick at
he starts his day with a lie.
He starts his late lazy
with a lie.
Probably hasn't even eaten breakfast yet. Doesn't know
how to manage his breath. It's stinky.
The the the the shaytan has urinated in
his ears, and Nabi says,
He's walking around with urine of his shaitan
in his ears.
Where's the productivity in that day?
How is the afterlife your greatest concern?
Ask Allah to forgive us,
and to allow us to turn teams. Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Then Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam
says,
and Allah will place poverty right in between
his eyes,
meaning right in between his eyes. Yeah. And
in the world, the life is here, but
he's still not content.
He feels very poor on the inside.
And then Nabi Salam says,
he will have no bonuses in this life.
Whatever is written for him will come.
No bonuses.
Just take what what there is and and
and get out of this worldly life.
We ask Allah
to grant us goodness and acceptance.
We ask Allah
to accept this gathering. We ask him
to forgive our sins and our shortcomings.
We ask him
to allow us to be productive in the
early hours of the morning.
We ask Allah
most importantly to grant us strength and ability
that we worship him and he will remain
consistent and steadfast upon the worship.
