My brothers and sisters in Islam,
this is why Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam
instructed us to remember death often.
He said,
make mention of death
and make mention of it in abundance.
And he called it
the destroyer of pleasures.
Because that's the reality of death.
It destroys the pleasures of this worldly life.
And every single day we see an example
of this.
This worldly life is a fake enjoyment.
Every pleasure you
engage in
becomes destroyed and you see it in this
life how fake it is. I'll give you
an example.
Allah Asojal when he described this worldly life,
he said,
You all know this part of the ayah,
that this worldly life is nothing but a
deceptive
enjoyment.
It's a fake false enjoyment
and you see this every single day.
The foods in front of you,
you enjoy the meal,
hours later it comes out what a fake
enjoyment.
You drink the best of drinks,
then it comes out a few hours later,
what a fake enjoyment.
You sit with your friends and with your
family,
you chat, you laugh, you have the best
times.
All of a sudden you receive a call,
our friend has passed away. All of a
sudden,
no warning, no nothing, he's gone. What a
fake enjoyment.
Just yesterday we've enjoyed ease and ease together,
and all of a sudden,
I don't enjoy his company anymore.
You wear the best of clothing.
You sieve and you sieve your wealth
to buy your favorite brand and your favorite
sportswear.
Then finally, you purchase it,
and a few months later,
it wears and it tears away, and you
throw it in the bin.
What a fake enjoyment.
The very same things that we enjoy on
earth,
Allah
made them
the thing that we see the fakeness of
this worldly life within.
And so we're supposed
to awaken to this reality.
And the more you know that this worldly
life is a fake enjoyment,
and that one day you will also be
cut off from these worldly pleasures.
There will come a day in which you
will no longer eat,
you will no longer drink,
you will no longer be clothing yourself and
dressing yourself,
you will no longer be meeting with friends
and going with this person and that person.
You will no longer be taking this phone
out to check your social media and go
through
real after real. You will no longer be
doing this. A day will come.
And this is why Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam
described death as the destroyer of pleasures.
These are the things that you are pleased
with, you enjoy.
Death will come and will destroy them all
at once.
You won't enjoy any of them anymore.
You're only there with your deeds
going towards Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
