			I want your brothers and sisters to imagine the situation of a full time employee.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:21
			And this employee is responsible for financing his mother, his father, his children and office, this
full time employee does not have any other source of income. And on top of that he has debts that
are outstanding people are requiring from him their money,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:31
			you with me? And then what happens? His employer turns around and one miserable day and says to him,
my brother, I am sorry to tell you.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			We no longer need you as part of the team.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:51
			And we intend to make you redundant, and you have one more month remaining with us, meaning 30 or so
days from that time, he is going to have no more income coming in to supply his family and to pay
off his
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			people who are requesting him for money.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:04
			How will this person behave honestly speaking and be let's be transparent here? How will this person
behave? Do you think that person will be able to sleep well that evening?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			Will he be seen wasting any time or wasting any money?
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:42
			Or would that person be tossing from side to side on his bed that night and running around
frantically from person to person from business to business from opportunity to opportunity, even if
it cost him his health and his time and his tears and he sweats, he will do so much just to ensure
that by the time that month elapses, he has a source of income so that he can feed his family
agreed. This brothers and sisters is how you and I behave when our worldly interests are threatened.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:56
			When there is a fear that your continual source of money is going to come to a stop, we panic and we
do so much when our livelihoods are threatened or the livelihoods of our families.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:09
			And that's why in Japan at this moment in time, this was an article published by the BBC not too
long ago saying that the rate of suicide amongst the elderly in Japan is phenomenon.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:19
			The elderly, not the youth like we have here as an issue in Europe in the West acknowledge the
elderly, how come because you see,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			the financial system pays out to the families of suicide victims in Japan.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:39
			And so these poor elderly grandmothers and grandfathers they find no better way to secure the
financial future of their children and their children's children whom they are worried about other
than to take away their own lives.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:04
			What does that mean? It means this is how we behave as human beings when our dunya when our worldly
affairs are under threat. Now I asked you to your brother, your sister, how then should our concern
be as Muslims who believe in an eternity in paradise or *, how should our concern be, and our
eagerness and our enthusiasm that when we die, our deeds don't stop.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			But something is still coming into the grave. Something is still building the Hereafter.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:34
			And you and I have been put on notice as well, just like the man in the analogy we've been put on
notice. We were told, couldn't have seen that. Or to note every soul shall die. You and I have been
put on notice. We're going to be made redundant very soon and redundancy is death. And that is when
people will divide into two camps, people whose deeds die with them.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			And people who are not affected in the least by their departure from this world.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:56
			Because they had left behind them a project a strategy, they were active Muslims, and so there are
good deeds feeding into their grave and enhancing their life and making their agenda even more
beautiful even after they have done

00:04:29 --> 00:04:49
			He says what a high status it is. And what a beautiful lofty position it is when somebody who could
be busy in the life of this world, doing certain worldly activities or he may have even died. But
despite that good deeds are being gifted to him from so many different avenues.

degree bearing in mind the fact that I don't have GCSEs bearing in mind that I am a male or a
female, bearing in mind, my love for management, bearing in mind my love for sports, bearing in
mind, my literacy or my illiteracy

talents that I have that I need to do something about now, before the day I meet Allah subhanahu wa
deiner really ask yourself this question brothers and sisters as a matter of urgency and nobody,
nobody is exempt. And the fact that today we speak so many languages and we discuss in so many
dialects on the Day of Judgment, there will be no language that is recognized, and no dialect that
is used and no currency between us other than the language and the dialect and the currency of good
deeds. And since that's the conversation on that day
