So to answer the question at the end
of this first part, when the spirit goes
through all this, it's a bushra.
In Islamically or linguistically, bushra means good news.
And yes, when the person passes away, and
there's all these beautiful things happening, they have
a good feeling about it.
It's a good mood.
Things feel good.
It looks like it's going in the right
direction.
The person is happy.
But then as we move forward in this
long story, there's going to be a period
where you cease to exist.
In this form, you're existing.
You're still there.
You know what's happening.
But there will be a point where you
and I cease to exist.
And then we are resurrected again.
And at that moment, you forget a lot
of what happened.
That's why the person يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِلَّا
بِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا And then they start talking,
how long were we alive for?
And the one who's the best estimator will
say, I think it was a day, maybe.
Were we alive for like a day?
I think it was a day.
They forget all the 80 years that they
were existing.
They'll forget a lot of stuff.
And then the process kind of regenerates itself.
But for the purpose of al-barzakh, which
in Arabic language, barzakh is anything that's between
two things.
That's the word in the Arabic language used
for anything in between two large existences.
That's what al-barzakh means.
It means it's a transitional existence.
It's just you're there for a little bit
of time.
And then you kind of transition.
You move on to what comes next.
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, would
talk a lot about al-qabr, about the
grave or al-barzakh.
And it's not really about al-qabr because
sometimes people die and they're never buried for
whatever reason.
They just don't get buried.
That means they don't get barzakh.
No, they get barzakh.
But it's just because it's an abstract concept.
It's a concept of a different realm.
You don't have to be in a specific
position in order for that to apply to
you.
But the Prophet, peace be upon him, would
talk about it quite a bit.
And there is some difference of opinion in
terms of what actually happens and what doesn't.
I'm not going to go down that route.
I'm just going to tell you some of
the hadith and some of the ayat in
the Quran and a basic understanding of what
actually occurs.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would always
tell people, seek refuge in Allah.
Make dua that what you're seeing is going
to be something beautiful.
Because he said, on the end of this,
قَلْ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ مَنْظَرًا إِلَّا وَالْقَبْرُ أَفْضَعُ مِنْهُ
I was not shown anything except that the
qabr was worse.
So what I saw was happening there was
something I never saw anything worse.
But on the other hand, there is what
I just explained to you now.
There is this very beautiful celebration of someone
who passed away.
He was a mu'min.
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says, I don't
like taking the ruh of a mu'min because
it bothers him.
وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهَا I don't like him to
be bothered.
I don't want the mu'min to ever be
in a state of sorrow.
But this is the decree of Allah, subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
You're going to pass away one way or
the other.
I'll continue inshaAllah with the second part of
the hadith tomorrow morning.
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك اشهد ان لا اله الا
انت استغفرك واتوب اليك وصلى الله وسلم وبرك
على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه اجمعين جزاكم
الله خيرا وبرك الله
