أجمعين وبعد الموت The
only undeniable fact that we are aware of,
that we have a Qanun within our belief
system with every living human being on the
planet He says صلى الله عليه وصحبه وسلم
in a hadith narrated by Ibn Hibban أكثر
من ذكر هذي ملذات Increase the amount of
times that you remind yourselves of that fact
that makes it difficult to have small joys
هذي ملذات ملذات is when you find pleasure
something that takes away that ability to enjoy
pleasure Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه whenever someone
asked him عظمي يا أمير المؤمنين give me
some advice he would answer رضي الله عنه
كفى بالموت وعظار You don't need anyone to
give you reminders of Allah just remind yourself
of the fact that you're going to pass
فإنه كل يوم يقال مات فلان ومات فلان
وإن اليوم الذي يأتي فيه فيقال مات عمر
لقري and he would say everyday they say
فلان passed and فلان passed and you know
you get those obituaries and notification by some
friend or an email or something of somebody
passing away and the day it'll be you
on that it's close enough, it's near enough
Sayyiduna Hassan al-Basri رضي الله عنه used
to say فإذا ذهب يومك ذهب بعض ويوشك
إذا ذهب البعض أن يذهب الكل you would
say indeed O son of Adam you are
only a number of days you're just a
little bit of time that's the only way
that's the perfect measurement tool to actually figure
ourselves as creatures you're just a few days
when one day is gone a fraction of
you is gone and if a piece of
you is gone it's only a matter of
time before all of you is gone Abu
al-Darda رضي الله عنه the known Sahabi
on the Minbar in Damascus once gave a
khutba and he said إن من كان قبلكم
كانوا يجمعون كثيرا ويبنون مشيدا ويعملون بعيدا فصار
جمعهم بورا وبنيانهم قبورا وأملهم غرورا indeed those
before you they used to gather quite a
lot and they used to build very high
and they used to hope very far now
all that they gathered is gone and all
that they built are graves and all that
they hoped for turned out to be an
illusion رضي الله عنه والله قلوا سبحانه وتعالى
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُمْ
بِالنَّهَارِ indeed he is the one who takes
the spirit takes your lives at night and
he knows what you are doing during the
day he says سبحانه وتعالى الله يتوفى الأنفوس
حين موتها والتي لم تموت في منابها فَيُمْسِكُ
الَّتِي قَضَى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَى إِلَى أَجَلٍ
مُسَمَّا indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes
the lives of people when they go to
sleep when they sleep sorry when they die
and those who don't die on a certain
day he takes their spirits to him subhanahu
wa ta'ala when they sleep when you
sleep he has the spirit either he keeps
it فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ the ones
that he decreed that they will die he'll
keep the spirit with them and those he
did not decree yet he'll send them back
for whatever time that they have left on
earth basically we die every day this fear
that we have from death is interesting because
you die every single day actually if you
don't allow yourself to die this short amount
of time in death you'll actually fully die
your body does not have the ability to
keep on going insomnia is only bearable for
so long before your system is completely shut
down and you're not able to live anymore
but we die every day every man before
you every human being before you died and
every human being living today will die every
human being that will overcome until yawm al
qiyamah will die so there's really nothing special
about it there's nothing interesting there's nothing about
me that my death is going to be
special and different than everyone else and my
life span is going to be different than
everyone living around me it's really not everyone
went through this there's nothing different about it
he says subhanahu wa ta'ala كل نفس
ذائقة الموت وإنما توفون أجوركم يوم القيامة فمن
زحزح عن النار وأدخل الجنة فقد فاز وما
الحياة الدنيا إلا متاع الغرور indeed every soul
is going to taste death and the end
game of all of this really the conclusion
of all of it is that you're going
to be given in detail in full all
of your rewards yawm al qiyamah so if
you're lucky enough to have yourself moved away
just moved away from jahannam and have the
opportunity to be entered jannah then you have
won then yawm al qiyamah you're the biggest
winner there is and the life of dunya
is just an illusion it's just there to
shine and distract you كل نفس ذائقة الموت
ونبلوكم بالشر والخير فتنة وإلينا ترجعون indeed every
soul will taste death and you're being tested
with evil and good in this life but
you'll all come back to us كل نفس
ذائقة الموت ثم إلينا ترجعون every soul is
going to taste death and you'll all come
back to us again at the end سبحان
الله he says جل جلاله to the prophet
عليه الصلاة والسلام and he is the most
beloved of all creatures to him سبحانه وتعالى
إنك ميت وإنهم ميتون ثم إنكم يوم القيامة
عند ربكم تخرجون you're going to die and
they're going to die as well see the
prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام in the midst of
his struggle with Quraish the 10 years of
it not making much progress not many of
the leaders actually believing in what he brought
عليه الصلاة والسلام not being offered the opportunity
to spread his message Allah سبحانه وتعالى told
him don't worry you're going to die it
was as if it was a comforting it's
a comforting concept it's there to comfort you
it's there to make you feel better you're
going to die and so are they they're
not going to live forever they're not going
to somehow go under the radar and keep
on going and never be held accountable for
what they did you're all going to die
and then you'll come to Allah سبحانه وتعالى
and you'll be able to plead your cases
and you can get what is yours he
says سبحانه وتعالى اينما تقولوا يدركم الموت ولو
كنتم في بروج مشيدة wherever you are death
will find you even if you are in
the highest and largest and biggest of castles
you will be found and the reason that
Allah سبحانه وتعالى uses that wording in the
verse is because it's as if to say
you don't need a reason I mean it's
not based on there being some causality of
trauma in order for someone to die so
if you are isolated somewhere and you are
well protected that somehow you are going to
live forever it doesn't matter where you are
it doesn't matter what you protect yourself with
putting yourself in a castle and closing all
the doors and making sure it doesn't make
a difference there is nothing that keeps death
out when it's time for it it's time
for it there is an أثر في الإسرائيليات
in the قصص البني إسرائيل and the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم told us you can
tell the stories from الإسرائيليات if you want
to don't use them for fiqh for actual
evidence because they don't have the strong authenticity
to do so but this story is for
Sayyidina Idrees عليه السلام Idrees عليه السلام he
lived a life that was very fruitful he
was the first person to actually document the
first person to ride a horse for the
sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and one of
the Mala'ika who spoke to him told
him one day you do so well why
don't you ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to give
you an extension on your life why don't
you kind of give yourself a bit more
time so Idrees said alright that sounds like
a good idea but you have to take
me up to the heavens so I can
do this I can't do it from here
so he rides this angel and takes him
up to the first and second and third
and third sky and they're looking for Malakul
Mot to speak to him and they run
into Malakul Mot they're looking and they find
him in the third sky and they say
perfect Malakul Mot we wanted to ask you
something so the Malakul Mot says we?
who's with you?
so the other angel says معي نبي الله
ادريس I have the prophet of Allah ادريس
فقال سبحان الله ارسلني ربي انقبض روح عبدك
ادريس في السماء الثالثة فقلت كيف اصنع هذا
هو في الارض Malakul Mot says Allah sent
me to take the spirit and the soul
of Idrees and he told me go to
the third sky to do it and I
said how am I going to take him
from the third sky he's living on earth
and he was up there this narration is
in Israiliyat يقول سبحانه وتعالى نحن قدرنا بينكم
الموت وما نحن بمسبوقين we are the ones
who decreed and measurably judged that you will
all die and no one is going to
be quicker than Allah and taking you when
it's your time this is the destiny that
we all are working towards this is how
he put it into motion every attempt of
human beings to imagine an infinite life for
us has been a failure even those who
believe at some point we're going to be
able to regenerate and live forever when they
write their novels and they talk about the
paradigm of what that would look like it's
a complete failure they cannot come up with
a scenario where human beings can live forever
happily every single science fiction book that's been
written that talks about people that live forever
ends with people realizing that they should die
and then they die everyone that's been written
so far and I'm interested in this stuff
because the human being hates hates facts human
beings hate certain facts, they don't like them
so those who don't have a reason to
accept what is real will try to think
outside of those boxes and they've tried literally
we are not programmed to be able to
understand living forever it's just not a part
of who we are that's why when I
tell you or when you hear that you're
going to be in Jannah you're going to
be there forever it's a thought that is
almost impossible to imagine okay and then what
I'm in Jannah and then what, you're going
to live okay after that and then what,
you live more and then what, what's the
end of this there's no end you and
I aren't programmed that way to understand something
that doesn't end we just can't do it
so why is it that we're so surprised
that this is going to end if we
literally cannot imagine it going forever anyway okay
I'll end with this oh my gosh I'm
already very late okay I'll leave this story
for tomorrow subhanallah wa bihamdik ash-shaytan wa
la ilaha illa anta astaghfiru wa atubu ilayk
wa salallahu wasalam wa barak ala nabiyyina muhammadin
wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in jazakallahu
