Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah here on early Hill. Sabe. Germaine, my brothers and sisters in Islam, what is the best thing a believer can do in order to prepare to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, a hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik Roby Allahu Anhu. He mentioned that he was walking alongside the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and a man from among the Bedouins met them at the door of the masjid. And this Bedouin asked the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a question. He said to him matter, sir, when is the hour Subhan Allah. This was the concern of the companions. Their concern was the afterlife. He's
asking him when is the hour. Unlike people's concern today, many people today they concerns a worldly, he wants to know when is a good time to enter the market. When is a good time to invest? When it is when is a good time to sell and so on. Heather Sahabi is asking Marissa, when is the hour? When is the establishment of the Day of Judgment? So when Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam answered him and sit the woman there are that telehealth, what have you prepared for it? In other words in the visa long are they gonna send them is teaching us that the hour requires preparation? It requires preparation. So all our prayers that we're doing in this Ramadan, and before Ramadan,
and after Ramadan, and every page of the Quran, were reciting, and every charity you're giving an every fasting, all of these are preparation to meet Allah subhanho wa taala. Think of your deeds as preparations. Like a person that has a bag and he's traveling before you travel, you pack your bag with essentials and then you travel. And so we have a spiritual journey ahead of us. We have a journey to Allah subhanho wa Taala which will be standing before Allah azza wa jal, our body and our soul and that requires preparation. And the preparation is all the good deeds that we're doing now. These are preparations so Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam systeem were met they are the teller,
what have you prepared for it? So this man remained silent. And then after a while, he said, let's shake in a new way biller Hall Rasulullah who nothing. I barely have prepared anything except for the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger, Allahu Akbar, what a huge response and an answer from this man. So then in the view, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in approval of his preparation, he said to him, and mammon, you will surely be with those who you love. We learned from this hadith that the greatest preparation to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala is to have true and sincere and honest love for Allah and His Messenger Allahu Akbar. So what do I mean by all this? Every Salette you pre pre it
with love, every sadaqa you give, give it out of love. Every page of the Quran you read, read it with love, and every good deed you do. Do it with love, sincerely for Allah subhanho wa Taala do it with love. Every sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you implement and you practice in your life. Do it with love for the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and slowly Allahu Anhu. Then he said, after Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this, he said we were so excited that the to hear this from the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then unassailably Allahu Anhu said, I love Allah, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Abu Bakr and Omar
and I hope that Allah azza wa jal keeps me in their company, even though I do not do the deeds, because the deeds of Abu Bakr on our own and delivery sallallahu alayhi wa sallam outweigh the entire Ummah, further saw the Allahu Anhu being a companion, he said, even though I do not do their deeds, I hope I am with them because of the love I have for them. And so this is our state and our condition as well. We hope that we can be with Allah subhanho wa Taala with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with Abu Bakr with Omar with anisopliae Allahu Anhu. For the even though we have not done the good deeds they have done, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant a sincere and honest
and true love for Allah and His messenger. every deed you do, do it with love for Allah azza wa jal, every sooner you implement, implemented with love for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to accept promise and to forgive our shortcomings and our sins in the holy with ethical code erotic or sallahu wa salam O Allah, Allah and Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germaine
