respected ala mai kiram, elders and beloved brothers in Islam,
the life which Allah subhanho wa Taala
has given us in this world is extremely temporary.
In fact, dunya, when compared to the eternal life of the hereafter,
the parable was given by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, where he said, mad dunya, fill akhira, Illa Mila ja ALU
ahadu Kum ishba, Abu yam mi fa yum dur bhimayar Ji, Abu kamakala
SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam.
He said that this world, when compared to the accurates, is like
putting your finger in the ocean and lifting it up. The droplet of
water that remains on your finger is the equivalent of this dunya of
the life of this world and the entire ocean is the equivalent of
Akira,
he said, Mali wad dunya, manafi, dunya, Illa, karakiva shajarat in
summara kaha. He said, What is there for me in this dunya, My
example is like a traveler who took some shade underneath a tree
and then he continued his journey back home.
That pausing underneath the tree for a short while is the example
that Rasulullah Sallam gave of the life of this world. Very, very
temporary. Nivayata, many time is minimal. The point by respected
Brothers is that moth and death
is an absolute reality which is staring each and every one of us
in the face Allah Dalai
in the Quran for mort, Allah Dalai uses the word Yaqeen, WA Abu dhab,
baka, hathaya, tiyaka, Yaqeen that worship your Allah, worship your
Rab until Yaqeen, until The absolute certainty comes to you,
the life, this temporary life that we have, this passing phase. Ali
Radi Allahu Taran used to say, Anna su niyam
used to say, people in this world are sleeping in a Matu in tahabu
when they die, then they will wake up as if the life of this world is
just a vision, a very, very short period.
This life was given to us. At dunya mazura, Atul Akira,
this life was given to us to prepare for the akhirats. This
life was given to us to plant the seeds that will benefit us in the
eternal life of the hereafter.
But the sad reality, my respected brothers, is if we analyze and we
look at the manner in which we are spending our 24 hour life in this
world,
what our goals, what our objectives, what our ideals, what
our fears are, if we have to analyze and Look at it, then to a
very large extent, with regards to moth and death, majority of us are
in denial.
We keep on shifting the goalposts.
We keep on having this attitude that death, that is for someone
else. Other people are dying. I still have a long time. I've got
this investment to do that property, to build up that wealth
to a mess. I have to worry about tomorrow. I have to see to my
children. I have to see to this. I have to see to that
a wall, a wall was about.
Fall. A wall was about to fall.
A Sahabi was repairing that wall. Rasulullah salasam walks by. He
asks him, what are you doing? He says, oh, maybe of Allah, this
wall is about to fall. I am repairing it.
What does Rasulullah say to him? He says, Al Amro Akram in zalik.
Oh, my sahabi, your moth and your death is closer and more imminent
than the falling of this world.
Someone asked Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that
on Abby of Allah, who is the most honored, listen to the question.
When akramun asks, Who is the most honored of the entire inhumanity,
and with this, who is the most intelligent of the entire
humanity? If this question were to be put to us
in the light or in view of the psychology by which we are living
our lives, who do we consider honorable? Who do we consider
intelligent? Yet look at the response from Jana bi Rasulullah,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, who is the most honored, who is the
most intelligent, he said, Aksum vikranil, mods, the one who thinks
the most about death, the one who is more aware about his Moats.
Vaishadu, whom isti adaad Allahu, and the one who is constantly
preparing for modes,
he is the most honored and the most intelligent of the entire
humanity. Ulai, Kahu will akias, he said, these are the intelligent
ones. Zahabu vi sharafit, dunya will Akira. They have gained the
honor of this world and the honor of the akhirat. Also, respected
brothers, we have to understand more and death is, in fact a
rahmat.
It is in fact Mercy of Allah, subhanho wa taala. It is a means
of us meeting with Allah. It
is said that mother came to Ibrahim, Khalil Ali Salam,
at the time of his death, and said to him that Oli Allah, Allah send
me to take your rule. The time has come for you to die, leave this
world.
Ibrahim alaihi salam says to Mother, kulmo
Khalil, Khalil
Tell me, does a friend take the life of his friend?
He goes back to Allah and he says, Your Khalil is saying this. Allah
says to him, go back to him and ask him, kya Khalil? Khalil ke
Mullah khat Kuna
does not a friend want to meet his friend. Does not a friend want to
meet his friend. When Manapul Moore comes back and relays this
response, Ibrahim Al Islam says, Yes, definitely, I am ready.
Rasulallah, when he was given the choice, Allahumma, Rafiq alah, he
says, I choose to go back and to meet my Allah. So this moth and
death is, in fact, a means by which we will meet our Allah. And
on the other hand, moth and death
is a means by which we will return back to our law, return back to
where we came from.
It is human nature when you leave your hometown, when you go away
somewhere, automatically, the heart aspires to return home.
Those of us are going Jamaat will understand this better, even if he
is going for 10 days or 40 days or four months after the first few
days already, he is feeling homesick. He wants to come back
Allah Ali wasallam saabha Say when He would return back to Madinah
Manohara, as Madina came closer, he would make his conveyance, his
camel or his horse, move faster the shock to come back home
when he left me. Karama, as he is leaving, Makkah, cheers are
falling down his Mubarak cheeks. Ya Makka to maatki, Min baladin,
Wahhab, Baki, ilaya, Lola, nakomi, akharaju ni Min Ki NAMA, second to
hai raki that O Makkah, what a pure, what a sacred, what a
beautiful, what a beloved place you are to me, If my people had
not expelled or banished me from you, I would never have lived
anywhere else. Bilal, Ali, Allahu, taala, and who he lived as a slave
in Makkah. Yet such was the attachment to his homeland when he
made hijra to Madina, manovara in Makkah, he was persecuted. In
Makkah, he was living as a slave. Yet Vilar also in Madina with
lament. Ala Adi tan viwa din hauli, viwadi, waholi, Karu wa
jalilu, wahal Adi Dani, cry, and he
would say, How I wish someone would falsely give me hope and
tell me that, oh, Bilal, you are going to go back to Makkah once
again. You will play in it with.
Iskaran janil grass. Once again, you will climb Shava and TAFE
mountain, and once again, you will drink water from nijannah stream
in Makkah.
This is human fitrat, human nature that one wants to go back to where
he came from when someone passes away. We read in na nilahi wa Ina,
ilayhi rajiroon verily, to Allah, we belong wahi wa Ina, Ilahi Raj
and to Allah, we are going back where we came from. We are going
back moth is a mercy to take us back to where we came from. That
is why Allah in the Quran and Allah speaks of the Mort of that
person who had pleased Allah.
What does Quran say? Yay to hannaf sul mutma Inna yaayahu, mutmayin
na.
Allah doesn't say come. Allah doesn't say go. Allah says air Jia
e come back, return back. You are going back home to who? Ila Rabbi
ki to your Rab to your Allah, return back to your Allah.
Abu Hazim, Rahmatullahi was once asked so Illa Abu Hazim kefal
khudumi, Allah. Describe to us the re the reunion with Allah.
Describe to us the reception with Allah. When a person dies, what
will be his reception by Allah, beautiful. He gives the example.
He says, Amal mutiya, Faka, qudai, on
the
one hand, is that person who displeased Allah, the One who
spent his life in masyat, the one who chased after this dunya, his
going back, is like a slave who ran away and was caught and is
brought back to his master, who is angry with him. On the other hand,
the one who pleased Allah, the One who was obedient to Allah, the One
who prepared for Akira. He is going back his moth, his murakat,
his reunion with Allah is like a person who for many, many years
was separated from his family, and after many years of separation,
the day finally dawns when he is reunited with his family. Such
must be the reception of this person with Allah
arjayi ila Rabbi ki raataya
o1 West, please. Allah, Oh nafsal mutmainha, come back to your
Allah. Ravi in such a condition that you are happy with Allah
AJ
ravia, Allah mentions you first. You are happy with Allah, marvia,
and Allah is happy with you.
Your happiness is mentioned first in this dunya. There was only one
person
prior to mort, whom Allah, taala, gave
this Basharat and glare tithing that Allah is happy with you
on the occasion of taboo, Abu Asmaa had
given everything in the way of Allah, to the extent that he told
Rabbi Abba salaam that he had left the name of Allah and His Rasul
salary Salam behind in his home. Otherwise everything else had been
given. He took the clothes off his body was set, and used thorns as
buttons.
In that condition, he is sitting in front of Rasulullah sallali,
Salam Jibreel comes ya rasulallah mali ABA Mali ya Rakhal, laha
una viya Allah,
why is it that we see that I see Abu Bakr in this condition that he
has used thorns as his buttons.
Navi salaam says to Jibril, Abu Bakr has given everything in the
way of Allah. Jibril says, on the way of Allah, Allah has sent me
with a message that Allah conveys his Salaams to Abu Bakr, and Allah
wants you to ask him that is Abu Bakr happy with his ALLAH in this
poverty and hardship. When this question is posed to Abu Bakr,
Siddiqui, Allahu, daala and Hu he bursts into tears, and he says,
Anan, Rabbi Rabin, Anna and Rabbi Rabin. Anan Rabbi raaden, I am
happy with my Allah. I am happy with my Allah, I am happy with my
Allah.
Further. Allah says, return back to you, Allah. You are happy with
Allah. Allah is happy with you, Father.
Ibadi. What a holy Jannati. Enter the Jamaat of my slaves and enter
into my Jannat. Mort is mukadda.
Death is appointed. There is no escaping. It is an absolute
reality. The question my respected brothers, the criteria is, what
preparation have been made for months.
The life of this world was given for that.
Sahaba, I cannot mind, they understood this reality. Allah,
Dara says in the Quran, in the verse I recite is the beginning,
Al mall, Banu Nazi, natul, hayatid, dunya,
one verse Allah sums up the reality.
Puts the entire effort of this dunya into true perspective,
whatever investments, whatever effort, whatever respect, whatever
dignity, whatever honor, whatever wealth, whatever worldly amenities
you have amassed
when Mark comes, when debt comes. The example is like multiplying
with 0. Million multiplied by zero is still zero. 1 billion
multiplied by zero is zero. Whatever plans you have made, the
foundation may have been put the investment has been planned for
the future. The arrangement has been made for a rainy day, for
tomorrow. You are slogging and slaving after this. Dunya Allah
says, When Mark comes zero,
everything ends, everything stops, everything will be left behind.
Wal Bakir to Sally heart, Wal Bakir to salihat. What will go
with you? Iman Amal, what you gave in the way of Allah that is going
to benefit you, that is the world for you, that is work for you,
that is the currency. For you, how many incidents there are in the
lives of Sahaba akan Abdi understood this reality. Abu muba
Siddiq as the Allahu jaalan hu it was his habit
he would buy, purchase weak Slaves and free them for the sake of
Allah.
A slave that he's purchased can be a source of help to you. On
occasion, his
father
says to him that, oh, my son, why don't you buy strong slaves?
At least they will be a support to you. At least they will be a help
to you what is the response of Abubakar, the Allahu Taala Hu, he
says, ya Abati man Allah Ried, O, my beloved father. O, my beloved
father. It is the protection and the support of myself that is my
object. That is why I am buying weak slaves,
because the support and preparation I'm making is not for
this dunya.
In this dunya, if I get back, the return of my sadhaka, if they help
me, then what will be left for accurate
abuzari Radi Allahu talaan HO On
one occasion, he used to live in the jungle, one person came to him
and says, Oh, abuzzar,
I want to become your Khadim.
I want to become your servant so that I can benefit from you.
Abu zharr says, I have one condition only. What is the
condition? He says, When I ask you to spend anything in the way of
Allah, when I ask you to spend from my wealth, I want you to
spend the best without reservation. This person says,
that is a simple condition your wealth. Why should I have a
problem with it?
A little while later, some people come guess abuzzar says to the
servant, go and slaughter a camel to feed them. There were two
camels. One was strong. One used to give milk. One was good for
hiding. The other one was weak.
He takes the strong one first, then he thinks
the object is to feed the guest. The meat is the same. This one
will help him for hiding. This one will help my master by giving him
milk. Let me take the other one. He takes the weaker one, and he's
walking with it. Abuzav. He sees him and calls him.
Ayw. He says to him, go back now and take the better one. He
carries out the instruction. Then abuzz, calls him again and says to
him, tell me, now,
did you make Fianna,
did you misappropriate my trust, intentionally, unintentionally?
What was meant? You left the better one and went for the weaker
one. Was it intentional? Or you forgot?
He says, I did it intentionally. Why? He says the object was me.
To feed the guests the stronger one would have been a support to
you. Could have ridden on it. It would have given you merch
at the time of your need. It would have benefited you. Abu Dharr says
to him, do you know when is the time of my need?
Do you know when is the time of my need?
This dunya is not the time of my need. When I go in the cover in
Akira, that is the time of my need. That is why I told you,
whatever you spend of my wealth you must spend the best.
Al Malu, UL Banu Nazi natul hayati, dunya was bakiya Tu
salahayran Ingar Abdi kasawada,
the lives of Sahaba IRAM and the pious slaves of Allah, replete
with incidents like this,
accurate was put in front.
Mark was put in front, whatever they had was expended for
accurate.
When Allah Tala in the Quran speaks about more than accurate.
What word does Allah use?
Allah uses words like Sara Sabi KU Sadi, Abu Asmaa, Rabbi Kumar,
jannatin, natin Ardi, Samay wa Abu Allah says, run outdo one another.
Why with one another, compete with one another. Why with one another
in earning your accurate
when it comes to accurate, Allah says, compete with one another.
Finish yourself. When it comes to dunya Allah dala says, have kanad,
have contentment, adopt moderation. We have taken it and
reversed it.
When it comes to asking your complacent if he is making four
salah, missing his Fajr Salah, he says, At least I need four salah.
Fajr is too difficult. Can't wake up.
If he is making five salah, then he leaving something else out, the
salah he was making 10 years ago, and the salah of today is the
same, and he is completely complacent. Why that is my
accurate when it comes to dunya. Then there is no breaks. Then the
rat race is on, the clock is ticking. We are not even aware of
it. We are oblivious of it.
We have turned it around completely. If you look at Sahaba,
Iram, Irwin, Allah ajmain, when he came to the ashrad, everything was
given
one day, Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, Sahabah, Saman
as waha mean Kum Simon O my Sahaba Who amongst you today got up in a
condition that he has kept Rosa. He is fasting. Abu Bakr says, ayo
Nabi of Allah,
fama as Baha mean, someone Adam in Kumala Marivan who visited a Sikh
question today, Abu Bakr says, Ayana B of Allah, someone tabi
Amin Kum Jana
who followed a Janaza today. Abu Bakr says, ayo Nabi of Allah,
Saman Ada minkum marijuana, who visited a sick person today. Abu
Bakr says, ayo Nabi of Allah, someone atma at AMA, mean, kumula
Miskin and who fed a poor person today. Abu Bakr says, ayo Nabi of
Allah.
They would vie with one another. Allah. Alai Salam says, maj Tama
annafi Say, maj Tam, Nafi, imrien, illa dakalal, Jannah. That person
in whom all these things are found is a janati.
Omar says, when this verse of the Quran came down, Saska birat, why
with one another? He says, Sabha started competing. He says, how
many times I tried to outdo Abu Bakr, mas tabakana IRA shame,
Minar sabakan Abu Bakr Wakhan, as
he says, how many times I tried to outdo Abu Bakar, the Allahu Taala
and Hu but every time I tried, when it came to akhirat, when it
came To the Amal of Deen Abu Bakr outed me. Wakana sabaq, he would
hasten thoughts carrying out the commands of Allah. Subhanaw taala,
he would go ahead of the others. There was one blind elderly woman
in Madina, Manohara. Allah says, I thought to myself, let me go and
make her sit mad
let me go and clean her toilet, prepare the food for her, clean
her house.
He says, after Fajr Salah, I went to a home, and I found that
somebody had preceded me. The home was pick and span.
Having seen this, I.
He says, I went away and I vowed with myself that the next day
before Fajr Salah, I will go.
He says, When the next day came, I went before Fajr Salah, as I was
approaching the home of this elderly woman, I saw Abu Bakr
coming out of her home.
When I saw this, I said to him, Abu Bakar, many, many times I
tried to outdo you, but I resigned now, and I realize I will never,
ever be able to outdo you.
They vied with one another. They outdid one another in earning
accurate such preparation they made for more that when the time
of moth came, it was not something they feared. It was something they
looked forward to
when Abu Bakr the Allahu taala, who is on his deathbed,
the people come to him crying. They say to him, Abu Bakr, Raul
mumini,
should we not send for a doctor?
He smiles weakly at them, and he says, the doctor has already
visited and he is gone.
So they asked, What did the doctor say? He says, the doctor said, in
NIFA Lima, Uri purine, I will do as I want to do. In other words,
My Allah has already decided about my moods. When they hear this,
they burst into tears. Aisha radi Allah, his beloved daughter, the
wife of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam. She hearing
this, she says, Ram rukma, yugani, sarawan in fata, Isara, jati, Oman
WADA kabhi has swadhu, lamenting over the loss of Abu Bakr, he says
to O my daughter, do not say that. Do not say that. Do not be sad
what you should say. Vaja at sakratul Moti will Hak that moth
which is Hak, which is the reality has come now. And he says to o
Aisha,
all I have left in this world before King ad I was a
businessman. I used to earn my livelihood. When I became Khalifa,
there was no chance. I spent out of my capital. All I have left in
this world now is one goat, one cloak and one slave. Omar is to
become the Khalifa after me, after I die, I want you to take all this
and give it to Omar to put it into the betul Maal,
Aisha, radiallana says, Mata Abu Bakr in wama, Taraka, di naran,
wala dir Haman wakat aka malahu, Kula, hula, wofi, beitul, Maal,
she says, Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Taala and who passed away from
this world. He did not leave behind one dinar or one Dirham,
even one coin, also everything he had. He took it and put into the
Baitul Mall.
He addresses her, this is the last gasp of his life. He says to her,
O My beloved daughter, if Shilo sovey nihadain These clothes which
I am wearing, I want you to wash it. Waka finuni, fiha, and make
this my kaffen. Fainal haya akhwa, joila jadid, do not use a new
kaffan for me, because the living had a more in need of new clothes
than those who are dead
after he passes away, and he is buried next to Rasulullah
sallallahu, sallam, she takes his belongings to hand it over to
Omar. When Omar sees this, he burst into tears, and he says, Ya
Abu Bakr, lakat, Abu Taman, baadak rau. Abu Bakr, no one will be able
to catch up with you. You have tired all those who try to keep up
with you, and you have not left a chance for anyone to utter one
word against you. Wallahi, Iman, Wabi Wan, yahil, arzila, Rajabi,
him, if the Imaan of Abu Bakr had to be put on one side, and the
Iman of the entire Earth had to be put on the other side, the Iman of
Abu Bakr would be greater Wallahi in niravadu and Akuna, sharansh,
Sadhya bhi Bakar, Oman, Oman, that personality, he says, Allah Kasam,
I wish I was a hare on the chest of Abu Bakr.
This is when they gave everything for accurate Mark was not a source
of fear. Bilal Radi Allahu Taala and who in Sham at the time of his
death, he is sick on his death bed. Wife is crying one side. What
is Bilal saying? Muhammadan wahis
Ba his BA he says, how happy I am, how happy I am. The time has come
tomorrow I am to meet Muhammad. SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam and
his companions. Wife is crying. Girala is happy. Allah Alan who 95
years of age.
On the Medan of SIFI. He asks for water, milk is brought. He says to
Hashim nirpaladi, Allah Badri sahabi, oh Hashim al mirpal, let
us go and meet our law. Let us go and meet our law. Let us go and
meet Rasulullah. SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. The time has
come to rejoice the time of Mort has come. Hashim says to him, how
do you know? He says, When I was young in Makkah, my family was
persecuted. We were tortured with fire. I came to Rasulullah,
sallAllahu, sallam, and I said to him, Oh my beloved, Nabi, your
form, your nation, the Quraysh are going to kill me. Rahi Sala Islam
said to me, O maar makes trouble. Allah promises you, Jannat and my
nation will not kill you. Your moth will come at the hands of a
revolting sect, and the last drink of your worldly life will be milk.
O Hashim, I asked for water. Milk was brought. This is the last
drink of my life. My nabius prophecy prophesied that now my
life is to be given in the way of
Allah. They were not afraid of death.
Why? Because they made the preparation for it, Husayn,
RadiAllahu Taala and who the beloved grandson of Rasulullah,
sallAllahu Sallam on the plains of Karbala as one by one, the flowers
of the descendants of the alibay, the family of Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam, give their lives each one, he picks them up
his own offspring, takes them to the back of the battlefield. On
his lips are the words he'll Haq the ABA ika Salafi that go back
and meet your pious forefathers. Asmaa dari Ravi Allahu, Anhu house
is surrounded water and food has been cut off last night of his
life. He looks up at the window. He sees Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam with him is Abu Bakr and Omar. Asmaaan goes closer
the Vishwa addresses abubakir and Umar see what has happened to
Osman. They have cut off his water and his food. See how he is
suffering. Navis, Lal Islam presents a bucket of water to
Osman. Osman drinks it. He says, the coolness and sweetness of this
I have never experienced before. Then. Navis, la Islam says to him,
asmaaan, if you want, we will send an army to assist you, or if you
want, the Iftar of your Rosa of tomorrow will take place with us.
Asmaa nadiallahu dalam says, On the behalf of ALLAH, do not send
an army. I want to go back to you. I want to meet you tomorrow. The
next morning. Asmaa nadiallahu says to his Khadim, I have worn a
pants today, not a lungi. He was full of haya and shame. He says,
Today, my Nabi has informed me my life is to be given. I fear when
they attack me, my SAT may be exposed. That is why I warp ends
puts the Quran in front of him when the sword strikes him on the
head, the blood spit spills on the world for, say, a tree of whom
Allah, Allah, will be sufficient for you. Against
them. When the topic of love comes in front of us, my respected
brothers, we say, Why are you talking something depressing? Talk
about something else. Enjoy life.
We are here for many men,
my respected brothers, on the one hand, if you put the lives of
those who please, Allah, in front of us and we look at this
meaningless cycle, on the other hand, which we are involved in,
too long has passed, we have to put breaks now. We have to realize
that like a block of ice, like a block of ice, this life of ours is
melting away relentlessly in the heat of the sun. The doors of
Allah's mercy are open. Allah has given us the short life to earn
our accurate
so let us come into the environment of the Masjid. Let us
get involved in the effort of Deen. Let us keep in the company
of those people who are constantly speaking about more than accurate,
so that we come out of the deception and the so called
attraction of this Vinaya May Allah give us. Each and every one
of us go big after.
