So we have to try and be like
the best brothers and sisters.
And what are the other examples that we
have, and the example of the companions and
the scholars before us, when it came to
time.
This is what I want to mention inshaAllah
ta'ala.
And we can start off by
really turning away from these 8 days.
Social media and cutting it down.
Because brothers and sisters, what the scholars mentioned
is that if a person can't change their
habits in Ramadan,
it is very unlikely that you'll do that
after Ramadan.
If you're a small cup, this is the
month to change.
You're a person who's addicted to drugs
or any other
bad addiction that a person might have is
this month. Why? Because you have
When the month of Ramadan comes, we find
that the doors of Jannah
are swung open,
and the doors of fire are slammed shut.
And the shayateen have been changed.
So the sea has been set for you.
You have the people around you that show
and do good. Everybody comes to the messenger.
You're you're able to do the Ibadah. Easier
than outside Ramadan when there's not many people
doing anything.
So this is the month.
This is the month for change.
To try and change yourself as much as
you can in these last 8 days. And
to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala much to
change some of these habits that we have.
You know what some of the my,
Sheikh and Sheikh Suhayman in Redhaydi,
I mentioned this story a couple of times.
He
Yeah tajeb to min I juzim.
Then he give I became amazed with what
this old lady done.
This old lady. She said, anybody that wants
to enter into my home,
then let him leave his phone at the
door.
There's a basket there, leave that phone aside.
Because her kids are visiting her
when they haven't seen her throughout the whole
week.
And she wants to obviously socialize and communicate
and speak to them, right? But everybody's on
their phone.
Today you have to give, when you see
2 people sitting there, in the back of
the masjid, You have to give salam to
4 people.
Him and his phone and the other person
is phone.
People have become so antisocial.
Like this guy's saying, he's saying here, Israel's
form, Israel's form. Everyone's just in a different
world.
Another time, one of the uncles you know
what he mentioned? When I mentioned this before
I go into, you know, really
think it's important. I mentioned these examples.
Anytime that the father wanted to get the
attention of his kids, you know what he
used to do?
He used to go to the Wi Fi
router and switch it off. Everybody comes down.
Everybody comes down from upstairs, those in the
kitchen, those here, everybody, you know, he's able
to communicate with them.
That's the addiction that has caused some of
the people.
And so
I think the corner shop
is going to,
you know, be out of, baskets at the
end of today.
You really don't wanna benefit from the last
8 months, go buy a basket. Leave at
the door.
So you could, you know, really get away
from this.
Abdullah ibn Surud radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu he said,
He said, I really despise,
dislike
to see a palace and he's not doing
anything.
No one's doing from that which is going
to benefit his dunya, likewise is akhirah.
He's wasting his time, not doing anything.
Today, when you're actually busy with the dunya,
you're benefiting yourself in at least this dunya.
Right?
You're working hard, you're going to make money,
you're going to be able to
get married,
look after your family from the matters of
this dunya.
Then you also have issues with the akhirah.
These are doing some of the issues, and
he goes, I despite the past, it's not
even better for Israel, that was from his
akhirah.
He also said,
I dropped to
aqwaman,
This was a statement of Hasan al Basri.
Do you know Hassan al Basri?
Was someone almost tremendous of the tabiheen.
So I was to ask Ronaldo, all the
kids know, right?
Ronaldo,
Messi,
Benzema.
Who's the other ones that plays for Manchester
United? Most expensive
was recently, Madinah.
Okay. Everyone saying yes, I wanna know. I
wanna
talk about.
It was recently in Medina there was videos
going wrong.
But come on brothers, see we don't have
the land of Surud.
We don't have Haslam al Basri.
Maybe we should buy t shirts with their
names on the back, right? So remember,
these are the people that we need to
be like brothers and sisters. Try to reach
their seers, their their lives,
and be like them.
Because the prophet
told us,
A person is going to be brought on
your matiyama with those who he loves.
You really wanna be born Yom Alekhaim with
Rehalda
on the day of resurrection?
Or do you wanna be from the best
of the people?
But how come we from the Basir people
we don't even know what their names?
When the reality of the matter is that
some of these footballers guys
are from the worst of the people.
Someone who does the most the major sins,
the major sins.
The zina goes out with girlfriend, he's in
the club. You know this.
See you on the newspaper. You read it
online.
Even the most smartest of our kids know
this.
When he's spoils of those, he
Saharullah,
he sweats.
He sneaks in foul language.
So Hassan al Basri was one of the
most tremendous. When you see Hassan, straight away.
Hassan al Basri.
He was an amazing individual.
He said, I met many people.
They used to be so greedy when it
came to their
lifespan, when it came to that time.
He was more greedy when it came to
being greedy with his time and his life,
than
what? Money, dear hamad dinar, like the dollars
and the pounds that we have.
We all know right now, you ask someone,
you know, lend me some money, you have
to ask him 11 times. Not just 10
times, 11 times.
He feels embarrassed the 10th time, so the
11th time he gives it to you. Really
greedy.
Most people like that.
They find it difficult to give. Find it
difficult to give.
He said,
it's a parable that he brings an example
for a pagan person to really think about
it. They used to be more greedy with
their time.
Trying to be in the
as much as he can.
Because that which is going to benefit you
tomorrow
is the Ibadat.
Tomorrow is accountability and.
The only thing that's going to benefit you
tomorrow is that it's filled up on your
scale, on the scrolls,
from the good deeds.
Another scholar he mentioned,
Now from the alama, the signs
that Allah has
abandoned a person, turned away from him in
totality.
You know what this is?
That he busies him from that which doesn't
benefit him.
If you know that you are now spending
so much time in that which doesn't benefit,
it's from a sign that Allah has turned
away from me. So ask Allah in this
month to make you one of those who
benefits from his time.
Abdul Rahman ibn al Imam ibn Abi Hatima
Razi,
the son of a great scholar of Hamid,
even his son was a great scholar.
He said,
Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Hatim al Razi, you
know what he mentioned brothers and sisters? With
his father, do you know how he was?
Perhaps sometimes he used to
eat. And I used to recite on him.
Why
He
used to walk, and I used to recite
on him.
Used to enter into the toilet.
Pay attention brothers and sisters.
His father used to enter into a toilet
and he's bleeding on him, so he can
benefit from his time. Ulla, we're awful deficient
from this.
I'm benefiting from my time, brother don't think
that I'm all here perfect. I benefit from
every single of my time. Like I said
before, to be like these great
stars, and gems, and jewels.
There's a big distance between us all.
Now we need to try at least to
be like them as much as we can.
Why his father, his gracefulness in the toilet
is really on him, outside the toilet.
Ibn Taym Rahim was like that as well.
So he can benefit from his time in
the used to, read on him while he's
in the toilet. So these,
no second don't pass away from him.
It was narrated on the authority of Abu
Darda radiya Muhammadu alaihahu alaihi wa'ala Anhu.
Another great companion brothers and sisters,
he one time stood in front of the
Kaaba.
Then he said to his companions,
He said it isn't it so that if
anybody wants to go and travel,
he prepares that which is going to need
for his troubles.
Means the provision that you're going to carry
with you.
You know what I said, Khaznanaan, I said,
yes.
The trouble of reaching the akhir is further
away
than that which you travel in normally.
They said show us how to gain this
provision.
He then he said,
perform the hajj due to its greater
affair.
Pray to
fifulmatilayin
in the dark night.
So now you can save yourself in the
darkness of the qaba, the darkness of the
grave.
And fast on a day which is very
hot.
So that you are able to
benefit yourself on that very hot day, on
Yomartayama.
As the prophet
to the shams
of 1 mile.
Maybe it's from here to town is a
couple of miles, right?
The shams is going to be brought. Wallahi,
ask the brothers, we would say in the
car, I couldn't stop sweating.
And so many say 30 degrees, and we
know how far the shams is.
This is how hot this dunya is.
Sweating.
I can't remember the last time I sweat
like that.
Maybe first couple of weeks ago when I
came back, and the heat that was, you
know, in this country really hit me hard
because I wasn't used to it.
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us that
the shans is going to come down from
the creation and there's only a distance of
might.
The people are going to be in their
sweat
due to their actions they used to do
in this dunya.
Some people is going to be
to his ankles.
Some of them is your waist.
Some people are going to be drowning inside
of sweat.
So the prophet pointed his mouth.
Point that I mentioned is brothers and sisters,
his great companion is telling you
get your provision ready for
the long travel that you're about to take.
Which is longer than this
travel that we might normally do from here
to Lestor, Lestor to London, couple of others
which a person prepares for.
And to do the action before it's too
late.
The Hajj we mentioned, the prophet said,
the prophet said,
Hasten the performing Hajj, for he need a
person who doesn't know the barriers and the
obstacles he's going to face.
Like now before it's too late. Benefit from
your time.
Hazulayna Masrud
I just mentioned a couple of minutes ago
that he was a tabiya or a companion.
Oh the nice Ralph Lauren.
Sheikh.
Mas'rul was a
I already mentioned Abdul Mas'rul was a companion
or a scholar or a tebih.
He's a scholar.
You know he wants to be a billionaire,
you got one more choice. Companion.
He He was a companion.
He was a companion. He mentioned another powerful
statement. Pay attention this brothers and sisters. He
said,
I haven't regretted more
than when
the sun sets.
I haven't regretted more than when it was
a day when the son said, Yani,
a day passed.
My life has been shortened,
and I never increased in my actions.
This is the biggest time he has a
regret.
That when there's a day and he doesn't
benefit from the day and his life is
getting shorter. You know, let me give you
an example. You know when a person
has his birthday, most people get excited. Right?
Oh, no. I became 1 year old. You
know, I only write every year on my
Facebook.
Because what happens every year?
One of my cousins,
may Allah bless her.
Because I had the previous Facebook and I
put my date of birth in there.
And all your contacts, What do they receive?
They receive a message every time someone's birthday.
Right?
This person is 1 year older.
So she's always the first one to message
me.
She told me MJ because my name is
Abjijayani.
She says, MJ, you know happy birthday.
You're this today.
And every single year I put on, you
know, Facebook.
It's actually something very saddening.
Then now we've reached an exterior across to
Adegh.
People get excited. Why? Because Okay. They've gone
older. Do we know brothers and sisters that
one year closer to our death?
Is it something to be excited about? Now
look at this statement of this companion.
Every day it feels like this. I only
give a reminder when she messaged me.
Every single day Abdullah Nasr feels like this
if he doesn't benefit from that time when
his life is getting shorter.
By the way she don't think,
you know having a chit chat. She's very
older as well. All these kids are thinking
okay this guy is having
as a disclaimer.
You are only a few days.
Every time a day goes,
part of you lives with your Zoh.
I dislike to see
a person
you know what means, brothers and sisters? Someone
who's just doing nothing. He's doing nothing. He's
going to walk in, he's coming back, he's
walking around, not doing nothing. Imam
Abu Wakar Rahim Allahu Ta'ala pay attention to
his name. He was Hambali.
He said, Inni La Youhilluli
Anurayya saaataminumri.
He said that it's not permissible, it's not
halal upon me, for me to waste an
hour of my life.
That now when my time when my tongue
becomes, you know, weak.
And it becomes tired from revising and also
maybe having discussions
and debates.
And my eyes my eyes becomes tied, and
how many brows, and they're looking.
I begin to work my mind
at a time when I'm resting.
So while he's resting, he's also trying to
work his mind.
And I don't, you know, bring up my
back. I don't stand up.
Except that which was, you know, bothering me,
and I was thinking about that knowledge that
I was seeking.
Except not now, I figured it out.
And I see that the eagerness that I
have for seeking knowledge,
more that now I'm 8 years old than
I used to have at the age of
20.
You know Abu Wat'a, Alhamdulillahi rahuwala
wa ta'ala,
he has the biggest book on this dunya.
He has the biggest book in this dunya.
To ever be author
Abu Wafa.
Who can guess how many
volumes it consist of?
Have a guess.
5.
Anyone else?
20.
30.
30.
It's getting closer,
but not as close.
35.
35.
100. 100.
Would you like to think of his answer?
Close or far away?
Far
away.
365.
365.
He was the closest. Asher was the closest.
For most of us because
brothers and sisters, this is something natural.
Our himan has really dropped.
Our Himam,
the aspirations that we have has really dropped.
Living in this kind of environment,
This is the kind of him and the
aspirations that they had.
Someone who looks so after his time,
800
volumes that consist
of.
It consists of different fields.
You're only finding the most biggest of
mekatshik around.
It is the biggest
and, you know, the biggest
compilation that you'll find that was known in
this dunya. Yeah, qa'awfiqthamalimin
mujaliqis
compiled in 800 volumes.
So next time I come, I'll bring a
gift.
What do you want?
I'm going to conclude with this inshallah.
When I mentioned the books that they've said,
what's the first book that comes to your
mind?
Anyone?
Ibn Kathir, right?
Ibn Kathir, he benefited from one great book.
You know what this book was?
The compilation of Imam al Tawari rahimuhu wa
Ta'ala.
Zukiranahu
hadithunlayaifahu
and the Muti.
A hadith was mentioned
to Abujaqr Ataba
when his you know at the time of
his death.
Look what he's done.
He asked for someone to bring his books,
the tablets, and his clothes. Not the iPad
tablets that we have today, you know, that
we touch with the touch screen. The actual
tablet that was they used to use the
charcoal to write things on.
He asked us to bring it.
Fakhila wa said to
him. Even in this situation, you asked the
son to bring you a scroll, you could,
you know, write something.
He said it's only appropriate for a person
that he doesn't leave or seek him knowledge
until death comes to him.
Even in his last very few moments,
his writing thing starts.
Benefit from his time. He wants to meet
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala seek your knowledge.
And a similar story was with
Abu Zuhatirazi
on his deathbed.
Some brothers they enter upon him,
And he said to him, from those who
enter upon him was Abuhati marazi.
We mentioned earlier his son was doing what?
His son used to read on him alayrios
on a toilet.
That's how he got it from the time.
When Abu Hazim al
Razi entered upon Abu Zarrat
al
Razi,
they
asked him to, you know,
revise some Hadith.
So they asked him to read the Hadith
of what a person no, first, sorry, They
wanted to make him do the Talten say,
La ilaha illa. When a person is dying
what the prophet say, La ilaha illa.
Make those who are dying say La ilaha
illa.
So he thought that he
was a teacher, it was more knowledgeable to
tell him to say La ilaha when he's
like a scholar. Obviously like you know he
knows, you know? But everybody forgets.
They were like, 'Yaaba Zohra,
revise me of some of the akham, the
rulings pertaining
when a person is dying.
So he started mentioning the chain of narration
for his hadith,
which is very important when mentioning hadith.
If it wasn't for the Shayna generation, anybody
would have said, what he wants and what
he wants.
Manshaah mashah, whoever wants people could have said
anything.
Al Hakulin
is he's reading the chain of narration. Hadithni
fulaanfulaanfulaanfulaanfulaanfula.
He comes to the hadith,
says
The hadith that he mentioned brothers and sisters
was the hadith of mankana akhirukalami
ilaha illa illa illa Allah.
Whoever's last statement is la ilaha illa. Dakalaljannah.
La ilaha illa comes off the La ilaha
illa, right? Normally when you read something on
someone,
if he says anything after La ilaha illa,
you have to do what? You have to
say the la ilaha illallah. You have to
try and make him you know say the
la ilaha the last thing. Make him say
the la ilaha as the one and the
last things that he mentions.
And the hadith finishes with both dakhalah and
jannah.
Before he was even able to finish
he said and finish the hadith, he passed
away.
He said even one of the last things
they could hear from his wife was the
The point that I mentioned is and I
wanted to conclude with this brother and sisters.
That when a person is so involved in
something, is most likely to die in that
situation.
If you're a person of knowledge who is
writing and authoring
and reading and memorizing, what's the likelihood that
you're going to die in a position?
Very likely. Because the majority of that time
is
in that thing. If a person is just
most of the time he's smoking,
or he's jumping up and down in the
car. What's the likelihood he's going to die
in the situation?
Very likely.
I always mention this story. Hey, brother he
told me this story one time that he
knew them
in Al inshirah, right?
The match of the day presents. Alright? Everybody
knew about who used to be playing for
Newcastle. They used to pull him,
the fox in the box.
There's a striker that used to score so
many goals, always in the box.
There was this kid
that really loved Alan Shearer. Just like the
kids they love who? Messi and Ronaldo. Messi
and Ronaldo.
He used to wake up Allan Schirach, go
to sleep Allan Schirach. His duvet had a
picture of Allan Schirach. His
who was Allan Schirach?
What's he saying he said? I didn't share
I didn't share and he passed away like
that.
You know 2 fuckers wrote, right?
I mentioned these stories for a reason. It
just popped to my mind now because of
this personal heart. It was not I wasn't
initially meant to mention this. You know Tupac?
Most of you guys probably don't know. He's
out of date now.
But mostly, they all don't know, they know.
Tupac was like the Kanye West of his
time. You know Kanye West. Right?
The older kids don't watch it. It's more
mainstream.
He was like the Kanye West of his
time. Anybody who knows Tupac
used to say effing this effing that all
the time in
his music and in his lyrics.
When he got shot,
any person with any hint, like, what would
he say if the police came to him?
He tried to set him up, right, before
his death.
This police is asking him, who killed you?
Who shot you? What did you say?
He tells the police the f off.
That was the last thing that he mentioned.
Someone who used to swear all the time,
the likelihood of dying as a person who
was swearing was like this,
very likely.
So now you have to ask yourself, I'm
not enforcing anything upon you.
Which time of death do you want to
die? Well, I left before I left in
Madinah,
I saw people die in front of me.
Some of them in prayer. There was another
guy who slept. He was waiting for the
next prayer, and he passed away.
Another person in the courtyard, he dropped dead.
He was trying to breathe in his mouth.
Asha'i your brothers and sisters, that's the likelihood.
If you ask yourself, do you wanna have
that depth of you shouting, Messi,
Gol.
But while you're saying La ilaha illallah, and
you're reading the Quran.
Waman aktaramin shayee matalayee. Waman matalayee, where is
it? When it's excessive in mixing some, it's
most likely to die upon it. And a
yomarkiyam you're going to be resurrected in such
a way.
We ask Allah Azza wa Jal to benefit
us from what we have,
and to make us from those who benefit
from that time,
and those who really benefit from the remaining
days of,
you know,
surahraman.
There's only few days left. Dayatul Falaq could
be any of these days. Don't just think
it might be on the 21st, or 23rd,
or 20 5th. The people in America, they
will ask you the question.
Okay. If it's the 21st here, there is
day. So what do I do?
Which is laylatul Khaddah?
We always tell the prophet they need to
benefit from it as much as possible. Every
single day, pray the
