as Sahabi was repairing that wall, Rasulullah salasam walks by. He
asked him, What are you doing? He says, on Abhi of Allah, this wall
is about to fall. I am repairing it.
What does Rasulullah salasam 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, they
donavia Allah, who is the most honored, listen to the question
man, aka Raman NAS who is the most honored of the entire humanity,
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 Janabi Rasulullah,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, who is the most honored, who is the
most intelligent, he said, aksharum, vikranil moat, the one
who thinks the most about death, the one who is more aware about
his moth, waishadu, whom isti Ada and Lahu, and the one who is
constantly preparing for moth.
He is the most honored and the most intelligent of the entire
humanity.
He said, These are the intelligence ones. Zahabu,
sharafit, dunya, will Akira, they have gained the honor of this
world and the honor the Akira, also,
I respected brothers, we have to understand more. And death is, in
fact a rahmat.
It is, in fact Mercy of Allah. It is a means of us meeting with
Allah. It
is said that malakul moat 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, kulmot, 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 dala says to him, go back to him and ask him, kya Khalil,
Khalil
does not a friend want to meet his friend. Does not a friend want to
meet his friend. When mother comes back and relays this response,
iba, I mean Islam says, Yes, definitely, I am ready.
Rasulallah, he was given the choice. Allahumma, Rafi kalaallah,
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 law. And on
the other hand, moth and death
is a means by which we will return back to our Allah, 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 who go in 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 Madina,
manovara, 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, tears are falling
down his Mubarak cheeks.
Mati yavakin in valadin, wahalaya, Lola, Anna, komi akharajuni, Min
kilama, sakan tu hai raki that oh 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. Bilaal, Ali, Allahu, Taala and who
he lived as a slave in Makkah. Yet such was the attachment to his
homeland. When he made his Ratna, manovara in Maka, he was
persecuted in MA, he was living as a slave. Yet bilaar Also in Madina
with lament Allah
din howli viwadi, waholi wa jalilu, wahal Adi Dan niyo, mam
niya, Hamid, Jannah, wahan, yabduwan li shamatu, watafilu,
Bilal would 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 his with the.
Is Karan Jalil grass. Once again you will climb Shava and kafir
mountain, and once again, you will drink water from vijana stream in
Mecca. This is human fitrat, human nature that one wants to go back
to where he came from when someone passes away. We read in lahi wa
ina ilayhi Raji, your own, verily, to Allah, we belong. Wahi wa ina
ilayhi Raji own, and to Allah, we are going back where we came from.
We are going back Mort is a mercy to take us back to where we came
from. That is why Allah in the Quran, when Allah speaks of the
moth of that person who had eased Allah,
what does Quran say? Yay to hanaf sul mutma
Inna,
yay, yai. Allah doesn't say come. Allah doesn't say go. Allah says
Eri, come back, return back. You are going back home to who? Ila
rabbiki to your Rab to your Allah,
return back to your Allah. Abu
hazI, Rahmatullahi was once asked Sula Abu Hazim kaldoumi 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 fakay, who he
says,
on the one hand, is that person who displeased Allah, the One who
spend his life in masyat, the one who chased after this dunya he is
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 accurate 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. Scratch
will be the reception of this person with Allah Rabb, Viki,
Ravi, ATAM, murdiya,
oh one verse, please, Allah, Oh nafsal mutmayna, come back to your
Allah Ravi in such a condition that you are happy with Allah
ajeev
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 moth, whom Allah gave
this bath, tithing that Allah is happy with you. I
on the occasion of Tabu abubak Siddiq Allahu Taala and who had
given everything in the way of Allah,
to the extent that he told Rabbi SallAllahu Sallam that he had left
the name of Allah and His rasala Islam behind in his home,
otherwise everything else had been given. He took the clothes off.
His body was sat and used thorns as buttons.
In that condition, he is sitting in front of rasulallah Jibreel
comes ya rasulallah mali ABA Mali ya Raha NaVi
avala, of 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 a view 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
Siddiq as he burst into tears, and he says, Anna, an Rabi Ravin, Anan
Rabi, Ravin, Anan Rabi, Ravin, I am happy with my Allah. I am happy
with my Allah. I am happy with my Allah.
For the Allah says, return back to you, Allah, you are happy with
Allah.
Allah is happy with you further fully fear. Ibadi, wonderfully.
Jannati, enter the Jamaat of my slaves and enter into my Jans,
Mortis mukadda,
death is appointed. There is no escaping. It is an absolute
reality. The question my respected brothers, the criteria is, what
preparation have we made for months
the life of this world was given for that.
Sahaba, I cannot mind. They understood this reality. Allah
says in the Quran, in the verse I recited the beginning, Al mall
Banu Nazi, dunya,
what? 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 more comes, when death comes. The example is
like multiplying with 0, million multiplied by zero is still zero.
1 billion multiplied by zero is zero. Whatever plan 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
wall back here to small hearts. Wal Bakir, to swallow heart. What
will go with you? Iman, Amal, taqwa, 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 they are in the lives of Sahaba, I cannot they understood
this reality Abu Mubarak Siddiq as his habit,
he would buy, purchase weak Slaves and free them for the sake of
Allah.
A slave that is purchased can be a source of help to you. One
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 Abu Bakr the Allahu Taala Hu he says, ya
Abati man aadhari, uried, 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 am making is not for
this dunya. In this dunya, if I get back, the return of my sadaqa,
if they help me, then what will be left
for you, Allah anhu,
on one occasion, you should live in the jungle, one person came to
him and said, Abu abuza,
I want to become your Khadim. I
want to become your servant so that I can benefit from you.
Abu zal 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 conditions
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. Abuza sees him and calls him,
I will he says to him, go back now and take the better one. He
carries out the instructions and abuzzan calls him again and says
to him, Tell me now,
did you make Kiana?
Did you misappropriate my trust, intentionally or 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 need to feed the guests
the stronger one would have been a support to you. Could have written
on it. It would have given you
at the time of your need. It would have benefited you. Abuza 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 maluna to Al hayatid dunya walva, the
lies of Sahaba IRAM and the prior slaves of Allah repealed with
incidents like this.
Accurate was put in front.
Mark was put in front. Whatever they had was expended for accurate
when Allah in the Quran speaks about more than accurate. What
word does Allah use?
Allah uses words like sari, Aru, sabi, Sara,
outdo
one
another vie with one another, compete with one another vie with
one another in earning your when
it comes to akirat, 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 akra 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 is leaving something else out,
the salah he was making 10 years ago, and the salah 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 salami
Kinam is one when he came to the after that, everything was given.
One day, Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, abusive. Sahaba,
someone asked Baha Ming Kum SaIman, oh my Sahaba, Who amongst
you today got up in a condition that he has kept Rosa he is
fasting. Abu Bakr says, I own Avi of Allah.
Someone Asmaa omariman who visited a sick person today. Abubakar
says, I own Avi of Allah. Someone tabi Amin Kum Jana,
who follow the Janaza today. Abu Bakr says, I own a way of Allah
from an A minkum who visited a sick person today. Abu Bakr says,
ayo Nabi of Allah from an atma at ama min Kumala Miskin and who fed
a poor person today. Abu Bakr says, I own abhi of Allah.
They would vie with one another. Allah Islam says, maj tamari,
that person in whom all these things are found. He is a janati
om says, when this verse of the Quran came down, first vie with
one another. He says, Sababa started competing. He says, how
many times I try to outdo Abu Bakr, mustabakhana, Ila shayinah,
Abu Bakr, Wakana, sabakan, Bill say, rat he says, how many times I
try to outdo Abu Bakar, the Allahu taala, but every time I tried,
when he came to ash, when he came to the Aman of Deen, Abu Bakr
outdid me waka Nat, he would hasten towards carrying out the
commands of Allah. He would go ahead of the others.
There was one blind elderly woman in Madina, Manohar Allah says, I
thought to myself, let me go and make her kit mat,
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. I.
Having seen this,
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, 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 Mort came, it was not something they feared. It was something they
looked forward to.
When Abu Bakr, the Allahu Taala and who is on his deathbed,
the people come to him crying. They say to him, Abu Bakr, omir al
mumin,
should we not send for a doctor?
He smiles weekly 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, ini
Faal Lima, you read, 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 Allahu, anha, his beloved
daughter, the wife of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. She
hearing this, she says, Lam rug ma Yu ni, sarawanil, SATA, either
hasha Rajat yo lamenting over the loss of Abu Bakar, he says to Oh,
my daughter, do not say that. Do not say that. Do not be sad what
you should say. Waja at saktal Moti will Hak that mod which is
haq, which is the reality has come now. And he says to all Aisha,
all I have left in this world before kilafat, 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 Baitul Mall.
Aisha Ravi Allana says, Mata Abu bakrin, wama Taraka di naran wala
dirhaman wakat Akhada, malahu, Kula Hu father, Khala, hofi,
betil, Maal, she says, Abu Bakr Ravi, 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 betul. Maal,
he addresses her. This is the last gasp of his life. He says to her,
Oh, my beloved daughterin These clothes which
I am wearing, I want you to wash it. What cups and make this my
coffin for inalia. A Jadid do not use a new coffin for me, because
the living and a moine need of new clothes than those who are dead.
After he passes away and he is buried next to Rasulullah sallam,
she takes his belongings to hand it over to Omar. When Omar sees
this, he burst into tears,
and he says,
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, loudina, Iman, wavi
wan B Imani, la Raja. La Raja habihim Is the Iman 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 Nila wa ditu and aku nasharan, Oman. Oman, that personality, he
says, Allah custom, I wish I was a hay on the chest of Abu Bakr.
This is when they gave everything for Akira. Moth 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
wahizba, he says, how happy I am, how happy I am. The time has come
tomorrow I am to meet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alasallam and his
companions. Why is this crying? Bilal.
Is heavy. Amma vinyasid of the Allahu Talon, who 95 years of age
on the Medan of sifim. He asked for water, milk is brought. He
says to Hashi mirkala, the Allahu talanu. A Badri Sahabi Oh Hashim
al mirkaal, let us go and meet our law. Let us go and meet our Allah.
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.
Navi salaam said to me, Omar, make stubborn 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. Oh, Hashem, I asked for water. Milk was brought. This
is the last drink of my life. My navies 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. Hussain as the
Allahu Daal, the beloved grandson of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam on
the plains of Karbala as one by one, the flowers of the
descendants of the alibait, the family of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam give their lives each one. He picks them up his own
offspring, take them to the back of the battlefield. On his lips
are the words, il Haq, we Ava ika salishin that go back and meet
your pious forefathers. Asmaa, if any of the Allah 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. Within his Abubakar and Umar. Asmaaan goes
closer the Vishal addresses Abubakar and Umar see what has
happened to Usman. They have cut up his water and his food. See how
he is suffering. NaVi is 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 navies. And 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 way of Allah, do not send an
army. I want to go back to you. I want to meet you tomorrow, the
next morning, Asmaa the alarm, who says to his Khadim, I have worn a
pants today, not a lungi. He was full of haya and shame. He says,
Today, my Navy has informed me my life is to be given. I fear when
they attack me, my SAT may be exposed. That is why I wore pants.
Puts the Quran in front of him. When the sword strikes him on the
head, the blood spit spills on the words Allah will be sufficient for
you against them.
When the topic of mouth comes in front of us, many respected
brothers, we say, Why are you talking something depressing? Talk
about something else. Enjoy life.
We are here for many months,
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 dunya May Allah give us each and every one of us.
