Dear respective brothers and sisters,
elders, uncles, and aunties,
today
brothers and sisters, I want to speak about
a
very important topic,
vital
and crucial one.
Something that we all need to think about
and have in the back of our minds.
A couple of months ago, brothers and sisters,
when I went out for Hajj,
I came across a statement
of my
wife,
which really, really touched me,
and
I really wanted to expand on it and
maybe make a lecture or a footbath into
it.
But because of us now being the month
of and
some of the topics that arise,
some of the topics that we need to
cover in this month, like the day of
Ashura.
Some of the sunnun, some of the virtues
of this month.
I didn't
have the chance to actually deliver this
revolving around
the statement of
You know, brothers and sisters, I saw the
statement
of the Sahabi Jada,
his great companion,
when he used to go
to
a
place called the Safa of Marwa,
Every time he came to Safa,
he would make a dua.
That you don't take this away from me.
And that you take my life,
why
I am still Muslim?
He is asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, brothers
and sisters,
just like he guided him to Islam, come
to
take away from him
and to make him die as a Muslim.
If this is now, brothers and sisters,
Abdullah Ibrahim,
the great companion,
begging Allah
not to pull al Islam away from him.
We know that the sahabas,
Ridwan Umayyah alayhim,
they have a very high stakes with the
lord a s a w
jal. They are guaranteeing the jannah,
And we have numerous evidences from the Quran
and the sunnah that tells us about this.
Then when do we stand?
Brothers and sisters, just because we were born
upon an Islam,
do we take it for granted
that we might die in such a way
that we have an iman in our hearts.
Brothers and sisters,
we have seen people who were
praying in our masjid.
Sometimes in the front row.
People who believe in the yamul lay.
Today, they are no longer praying with us.
Today there is some of them brothers and
sisters
that we know of,
they are balancing the presence of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
They sit in sittings maybe where they are
disputing with the Sheikh whether Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala has a presence or not.
What makes us
think that this cannot be us?
Tomorrow
that we flip on our heels
and we don't or we no longer have
an Islam.
The prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he told
us,
brothers and sisters, pay attention to these hadith
I'm going to mention today.
It is something that should make us shake,
make us tremble,
make us think about,
and have on the back of our minds?
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, He told
us,
Hasten to doing good deeds.
The fits in the trials and tribulations that
comes upon a person
are like the dark patches of the night.
A person,
he wakes up in the morning, and he's
a believer.
And then he goes to sleep while he
is a disbeliever.
He sells his religion for offering of this
dunya.
Brothers and sisters, imagine
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes your soul.
You might be in the club that night
jumping up and down
to the songs of Drake
and all these other pop stars and singers
that we might look up to.
Or maybe
we are engaging in haram.
Maybe we are doing haram which is We
are with the girlfriend.
Maybe we are at the casino.
Maybe we are watching haram
through the Ipads and the social media that
we have today.
That very moment brothers and sisters, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala takes the soul.
Remember brothers and sisters, you will not receive
a message.
A WhatsApp message or a Facebook message
or this broadcast on your social media
telling you that death is going to come
for you right now.
Brothers and sisters, as they say, a person
needs to be on his toes
till the day Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes
his soul. The
old.
And since between him and the jannah is
the length of an oxen,
What happens? He fools into haram.
He might be trapped in his religion.
What happens?
A person, he might be doing a bad
day.
For maybe 59 years
and 363
days.
And then maybe the last day, he gets
trial in his religion. What happens?
He falls into it, and he gets pulled
away.
And he ends it into a fire. It's
a possibility that could take place.
This is why Allah
told us is
more greater and more severe than killing
or being killed.
If the kiddir
commented on this, and he talked about the
person being proud to such an extent where
he goes into what is believed.
This is far less because if a person
dies from Allah, he has stopped. He has
died upon that which he has died.
But the man has been trapped in his
religion,
maybe to an extent where
he is now doubting the presence of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, isn't that far greater that
person falls into.
Brothers and sisters,
the.
We can sit here and bring many examples.
The good ending of many
and the bad ending of many as all.
Every now and again, brothers and sisters,
we find a picture that goes around on
social media.
A couple of months ago, there was a
guy who was sitting in a
He was holding a
a Indian or Pakistani person.
He's sitting in the house of Al Medina.
He's holding a Quran and he's passed away.
This is an example of his al Khattim.
Isn't this something that we all want?
The last moment we are looking at it
by that,
we are in servitude of Allah
We are in his worship, and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala takes our souls.
And how many examples can we give brothers
and sisters of a very bad living?
Most of us we know
Umar ibn al Sattan, brother and
sisters,
he was someone that used to exist and
they make the dua.
Allah
Oh Allah, make me die the month and
make my death
He is in his question to Allah.
Shoff in the night, he poison the night.
He sharpened the knife when he poisoned the
knife.
He killed another 16 or 17 of those
who were praying behind Umar al Nasaba.
Sattar. At the time, he was salam al
fajr.
And he stepped up Umar al
Allah
granted his wish that dua'a used to constantly
make it.
Brothers and sisters, most of us are smart
enough to know the famous hadith
of when the prophetess
Whoever's last statement is
this person will enter into a jannah.
Many people they can't stay on their deathbed.
And an example of
something great that happened to a great imam
of the scholars of hadith,
his name was
Mohammed
bin
They ended upon Abu Zorah al Tawazi why
he was on his deathbed.
And obviously because he was a teacher,
That person, Abuzur Al Attaraj, your brothers and
sisters,
he was someone
whose life was ingrained into a hadith,
And if a person constantly thought they said
that actually it's most likely the diharmonic.
So they were shayi to go and tell
him to
say the laila laila. So they asked him,
Oh, imam.
Can you revise for us the hadith that
the person
does when a person is about to die?
So he mentioned the chain of narration, and
then he reached the hadith.
Where the last statement is La ilaha illa.
And you know, brothers and sisters, when you're
repeating the if
a person says something after the last, you
have to repeat it again.
We know the end of the hadith wouldn't
say it's not in a jannah.
So this imam is repeating that hadith
while he reciting it. He doesn't end it,
and the last
The last letter he said was the of
the lari laha rabbi passed away.
May Allah
give us a death like that.
And many other examples that we can give,
brothers and sisters.
And an example that is.
Most of us we know
a rapper for Tupac.
And it's relevant. I mentioned it here, brothers
and sisters.
So we are aware of what we constantly
do. Those who know too bad, brothers and
sisters. He was someone that existed. He used
to swear when he write and when he
sang. The music that he sang. All the
time you will find him,
in every sentence that he's not full, there
will be a swear when it ends in
this ending that.
He tells the police to f off and
he dies like that. His last statement was
a swear word. Something he used to constantly
do.
Another example, brothers and sisters,
we all know the famous match of the
day presentable, Adam Sheera.
He's still alive.
But there was a kid, a good friend
of mine told me,
this kid, brothers and sisters, he was alan
Sheera crazy.
Because at that time, he was like the
messian. There are now that of today,
They called him the fox in the box.
This kid's brothers and sisters,
The kids on his deathbed.
The sheriff comes to his house in order
to do the tamedi.
Haram. Brothers and sisters, just think about it.
We are called people who commit sins.
We are fallen into sins.
That very moment you are sinning,
and you are committing that mask or that
transgression,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes the soul and
night on that way. Whether you think you
are shouting, or
an animal's name,
or you are engaging with your girlfriend,
or whatever haram that you are doing
in the dark at nighttime with your iPad
or with your TV.
That very moment, brothers insisted, Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala takes your soul.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
keep us away from this tour of Fatima,
that those people have been trusted.
Brothers and sisters,
another thing I want to point out inshallah
is
being complacent in our religion. We know that
we worship Allah
fearing Allah that
people that we need to be like,
the people that we need to imitate,
they are the role models in our society
that we need.
They used to be scared
when it came to themselves. They stayed on
their toes, and at the same time, they
hoped for the reward.
I've heard statements in the past, brothers and
sisters.
A person coming on later to hadith.
My salat
at midnight prayed on that day. That
night is equivalent to 84 years. I can
take a back seat now and relax.
When the prophet
passed away, he went Rurban al Mustafa grabbed
to Khalifa,
grabbed him and asked him,
A believer fearing
that his actions are not going to be
accepted,
and they're going to be fruitless.
And gives an example of the statement
of
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
no.
The people that this ayah is speaking about
are those
who pray. They pay some ata. They do
it, but
they feel that their actions are not accepted.
So brothers and sisters,
this is the way of
when it came to being on their toes,
when it came to thinking about the ajira,
when it came to brothers and sisters
not being too complacent
in some of the things that he done.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to manifest
from what we had.
And to make me die as a Muslim.
If this
is Abdullah ibn Muhammad radiAllahu anhu brothers and
sisters,
where the enemy was standing.
The man brothers and sisters will rob the
Asman.
After everything,
he begs Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala which will
be
Oh, Allah, prevent me and my offspring
from worshiping statues.
Not only did he establish dawheed, and
Keep me from my religion.
Prevent me and my my offspring to
worship and destruction.
Brothers and sisters,
one thing that
might be missing in our life,
and I can guarantee you, brothers and sisters,
firstly, through all the evidences that we have,
and also practical examples in different people's lives
and from experience,
The dua
that will change a person's life.
And the sabach, brothers and sisters, is not
in our hands.
Are in the hands of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam or in the hands of
the Ma'iqa.
The tabbag confirmed
upon our religion
is something that is in the hands of
Allah
So we go running back to Him
to beg Allah to keep us firm upon
our religion.
Muhammad.
You are inclined
towards them.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
the best individual to ever walk upon the
face of this earth.
Allah. Keep my heart swept upon this religion.
Brothers and sisters,
when is the last time we made such
a dua?
And I mentioned right in the beginning of
the khutbah,
people who are praying in our masaajid,
today they have become atheists.
And today, he's chasing women and escorts and
prostitutes.
Do you see now our past and fortunes
can change?
If we might think that we are above
everybody else
and we don't love Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
in the Kingdom of Islam.
The promise of Allah Wa Alaihi wa said
is making Allah azza wa jal to keep
him firm and his heart firm on the
mission.
If you want any signal
for your servant that made me die,
why not not? I am not trying to
problem in my religion.
Muslim brothers and sisters jumping up and down
in the club.
Some of us have been guiding on to
do so.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us time and
time again
to remember the presence of Allah in Abuja.
And because of Al Islam, we hold them
together.
Prevent ourselves
and defend ourselves from these threatened trials and
tribulations that come our way.
That's why this program has been fulfilled.
Whether it is our kids.
Whether it is us, ourselves.
Whether it is our family relatives
all over the world.
And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala just
like Omar Ibn Khabab used to do. And
Allah is, they granted him. And what makes
you think brothers and sisters that you ask
Allah
