00:00:22--> 00:00:23

Brothers and sisters,

00:00:24--> 00:00:26

today we continue

00:00:27--> 00:00:30

to look at the pillars of fish

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

that we began

00:00:34--> 00:00:38

looking many years before.

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

We're looking at

00:00:42--> 00:00:59

the pillars of faith, from the perspective of their significance in our lives, how they will transform our character, to make it the character

00:01:03--> 00:01:09

which follows the characteristics of Prophet Muhammad.

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

When asked what is the character,

00:01:22--> 00:01:25

his character was

00:01:29--> 00:01:33

the character as the truth

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

teaches.

00:01:40--> 00:01:43

When followed, followed, sincerely

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

transforms,

00:01:48--> 00:02:15

transforms his or her character into the exemplary character of the truly righteous individuals in this life. And this is what we should be striving for. And I stress the importance of understanding the Pillars of Islam, the pillars of faith, from the perspective of

00:02:16--> 00:02:17

human character,

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

modifying, changing, improving

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

human character, to bring it

00:02:30--> 00:02:34

to that optimum level, about which

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

we have to return

00:02:42--> 00:02:46

to perfect for you, the highest of

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

two traits.

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

Today's pillar

00:02:54--> 00:02:58

is the pillar of belief in the last day,

00:03:00--> 00:03:02

leave in the last day your

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

belief in the last day.

00:03:07--> 00:03:11

First and foremost means belief

00:03:12--> 00:03:16

that every human being will die

00:03:18--> 00:03:22

and the time will come, when they will be resurrected.

00:03:24--> 00:03:31

Every human being will die and the time will come when they will be resurrected.

00:03:33--> 00:03:34

When they die,

00:03:35--> 00:03:36

they enter

00:03:39--> 00:03:40

a spiritual

00:03:44--> 00:03:52

belief in the last day is belief that when we die, there is no coming back in this life.

00:03:54--> 00:03:57

Once we die, a value is set

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

nobody can come back

00:04:04--> 00:04:06

and nobody can communicate

00:04:09--> 00:04:09

and you should have

00:04:12--> 00:04:17

because this is a misunderstanding found in manufacturing.

00:04:19--> 00:04:23

not truly understanding what the only means

00:04:25--> 00:04:28

that there is no coming back.

00:04:31--> 00:04:32

Way of

00:04:33--> 00:04:34

by way of

00:04:35--> 00:04:41

by way of deeds etc. There is no coming back. It is a one way trip.

00:04:44--> 00:04:51

The concept of reincarnation is completely rejected by this belief.

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

And it is not a belief which Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam brought into the world which was unknown before it is sad.

00:05:00--> 00:05:11

teachings of Prophet Jesus, and Moses and Abraham, and as Adam, himself, the first human being and first prophet.

00:05:15--> 00:05:22

So the idea that we may go to the graves of those who consider to be

00:05:24--> 00:05:28

righteous men, pious individuals, and

00:05:30--> 00:05:31

to help us

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

is a false idea.

00:05:36--> 00:05:39

This is a trick which Satan has placed

00:05:40--> 00:05:41

amongst

00:05:43--> 00:05:48

those before us, the followers of Jesus, they believe that

00:05:50--> 00:06:00

they pray to the saints. This is particularly amongst the Catholics. First of the deviated Christians.

00:06:02--> 00:06:07

Participants came after them and rejected certain practices, but they were the first

00:06:09--> 00:06:10

that dominated

00:06:12--> 00:06:22

Of course, they want to trust true followers of Jesus, that's true followers of Jesus didn't have this belief. And they didn't practice these things. But the Catholic world believes

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

they have a faith for everything.

00:06:27--> 00:06:46

If you lose things, there's a special thing for that. If you want something which is impossible is a special sense of the impossible. If you're going on a journey, there's another thing His name is St. Christopher, except that, about 25 years ago, the pope announced to Christians

00:06:47--> 00:06:48

that he

00:06:50--> 00:06:50

was really

00:06:52--> 00:06:54

struck from the list of sets

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

that

00:06:58--> 00:07:06

they have, since people who have righteous people in their consideration died and they call on them.

00:07:07--> 00:07:13

That is a trick which Satan has done among people

00:07:14--> 00:07:17

to believe that we can call on others besides

00:07:20--> 00:07:21

in the messages before and then

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

call on me and I will answer your

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

worship. And

00:07:40--> 00:07:50

that is the true belief. And that is the consequence of belief in the last day. So belief, in the last day,

00:07:52--> 00:08:03

to be true, requires that the believer does not call on anyone besides a law, who has died.

00:08:05--> 00:08:06

No matter how

00:08:08--> 00:08:12

even Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam should not be called on

00:08:14--> 00:08:18

giving sounds to you, he said, Yes. Give salons to me.

00:08:19--> 00:08:21

But he didn't say call on me.

00:08:23--> 00:08:24

And if that was intended,

00:08:25--> 00:08:32

just as he was as easy for him to say, give salons to me, wherever you are, to let you know, you don't have to go to his grave to give.

00:08:34--> 00:08:34

You can give

00:08:39--> 00:08:39

to him

00:08:43--> 00:08:43

to him.

00:08:45--> 00:08:49

But he didn't say call on me and I will answer your prayer he didn't.

00:08:51--> 00:08:52

And those who promote

00:08:53--> 00:08:54

a life

00:08:56--> 00:09:00

a lie of misguidance which is in fact,

00:09:03--> 00:09:15

this is calling on others besides the law. So believe in the last day is a belief which requires giving

00:09:17--> 00:09:28

these ideas, these false ideas of calling on others besides a law who cannot help us in any way in this life.

00:09:30--> 00:09:38

Secondly, relief from the last day involves belief in the supreme justice.

00:09:42--> 00:09:47

That last day, the resurrection is a resurrection for judgment

00:09:48--> 00:09:51

and that judgment will take place.

00:09:53--> 00:09:59

I'm not judgment will be fair and just because the law is

00:10:01--> 00:10:04

As he describes himself, he has been this just

00:10:07--> 00:10:08

and his judgment

00:10:10--> 00:10:11

is really

00:10:13--> 00:10:14

let us know

00:10:15--> 00:10:19

that all human beings who have existed in this world

00:10:20--> 00:10:27

without a shadow of a doubt that he is the most just, there would be no doubt

00:10:30--> 00:10:30

if

00:10:32--> 00:10:35

he could have created us,

00:10:36--> 00:10:39

and some of us in Paradise, and some of us

00:10:41--> 00:10:43

could have done that just from beginning, as I

00:10:45--> 00:10:46

reported that he said,

00:10:48--> 00:10:54

Don't you know that the last way to paradise in hell, and you created inhabitants for each?

00:10:56--> 00:11:04

Don't you know that a lot of created paradise and hell, and he created inhabitants for each.

00:11:06--> 00:11:08

So from the time he created us,

00:11:11--> 00:11:12

however,

00:11:13--> 00:11:19

he allows us to live our lives. And to know at the end of this,

00:11:21--> 00:11:25

that if we are going to it is because we chose it.

00:11:26--> 00:11:31

And if we're going to paradise, it's because of the mercy and the grace of Allah

00:11:39--> 00:11:43

describes some of those who begin to help.

00:11:50--> 00:11:59

They don't plead with him about the fairness of his judgment in a law says in the 32nd chapter, that

00:12:00--> 00:12:01

was 12.

00:12:02--> 00:12:06

If only you could see the time when the sinners would bow their heads.

00:12:09--> 00:12:11

We have now seen and heard,

00:12:12--> 00:12:13

so send us

00:12:14--> 00:12:16

and we will do righteous deeds.

00:12:17--> 00:12:20

Indeed, we now believe with certainty.

00:12:23--> 00:12:27

They plead for another chance

00:12:29--> 00:12:32

to go back and do righteous deeds.

00:12:35--> 00:12:41

They don't trust your judgment, because they know that they have chosen.

00:12:44--> 00:12:44

The

00:12:48--> 00:12:59

law says there, but if they were returned to this world, they would certainly go back to what was forbidden to them. Indeed, they are liars.

00:13:00--> 00:13:03

Indeed, they are liars.

00:13:05--> 00:13:06

Because

00:13:16--> 00:13:18

understanding this life, as we understand that

00:13:20--> 00:13:29

he wouldn't bring us back to the understanding of hell and paradise as a certainty. Because then what would be the test.

00:13:31--> 00:13:32

So if we came back

00:13:34--> 00:13:42

to what we are now, you'd end up doing the same things that we did and end up in the same place, asking for the same thing.

00:13:53--> 00:13:56

And at the same time, he is

00:13:58--> 00:13:58

His grace. And

00:14:00--> 00:14:09

on that day, when the judgment comes, we will know with certainty that it is the grace of the law, for those of us that are blessed

00:14:10--> 00:14:16

with being on the rise, we will know in certainty, that it is only the grace of

00:14:19--> 00:14:22

mother we didn't make any effort. Because of course,

00:14:24--> 00:14:26

allows Grace is for those who may,

00:14:28--> 00:14:30

not for those who have made more effort,

00:14:36--> 00:14:37

belief,

00:14:39--> 00:14:42

belief in the Day of Judgment,

00:14:43--> 00:14:45

belief in the resurrection

00:14:46--> 00:14:50

should be real in our lives for to have an impact.

00:14:53--> 00:14:59

We commonly say things that we don't really believe

00:15:01--> 00:15:06

We commonly say things that we don't really believe.

00:15:07--> 00:15:08

So

00:15:09--> 00:15:23

if the time comes, if the judgment comes, and I came to believe in the last day is a false belief, it's a false claim, then it will be of no benefit for us,

00:15:24--> 00:15:31

it will be of no benefit for us at all. So it is very important for us

00:15:33--> 00:15:37

to make a sincere commitment to believe

00:15:39--> 00:15:40

in the last day

00:15:42--> 00:15:47

to truly accept this concept of the last day in our hearts,

00:15:48--> 00:15:55

so that it can have an impact in our lives. And you know, action is the cause.

00:15:57--> 00:16:00

We are no different in our actions

00:16:02--> 00:16:06

in our way of thinking, in our conversation,

00:16:08--> 00:16:11

in our dealings with other human beings around us,

00:16:12--> 00:16:14

from those who don't believe

00:16:15--> 00:16:16

in the last day,

00:16:17--> 00:16:20

then we have to question

00:16:21--> 00:16:24

what is the state truly of our belief?

00:16:26--> 00:16:30

So what is that character? What are the characteristics

00:16:34--> 00:16:35

in the last day,

00:16:36--> 00:16:54

first and foremost, one of the leaves in the last day has a calculating personality, calculating personality, meaning that he or she is very careful about what they do in this life.

00:16:55--> 00:17:12

They're careful about the deeds they check themselves regularly. Check their intentions, check the actions, check the goods, they're constantly checking themselves, taking themselves to account.

00:17:16--> 00:17:18

They follow for example,

00:17:21--> 00:17:22

that we ever believed in,

00:17:24--> 00:17:27

should speak or be silent.

00:17:29--> 00:17:33

Whoever believes in a law on the last day should speak

00:17:35--> 00:17:35

only

00:17:37--> 00:17:38

or be silent.

00:17:39--> 00:17:43

So we have to ask ourselves is that how we function

00:17:45--> 00:17:45

is much,

00:17:46--> 00:17:51

much corruption, much inappropriate statements coming from

00:17:54--> 00:17:54

either

00:17:56--> 00:17:56

useless.

00:17:58--> 00:18:06

If that is the norm of our conversation about communication, then they have to say that the truth,

00:18:10--> 00:18:14

whoever truly believes in alarm, the last day will

00:18:16--> 00:18:16

be silent.

00:18:18--> 00:18:20

So we shouldn't be known amongst our

00:18:22--> 00:18:23

amongst

00:18:28--> 00:18:34

our friends, we shouldn't be known as a person who speaks good.

00:18:36--> 00:18:37

If we're known as that,

00:18:38--> 00:18:47

then that is confirmation of the sincerity and the truth of our belief in the last day.

00:18:49--> 00:18:50

The more

00:18:53--> 00:18:58

the more good we speak, and the less evil we express.

00:19:00--> 00:19:00

So

00:19:02--> 00:19:09

we are able to measure it in this life. Because somebody will say, how can you judge the degree of a person's belief?

00:19:11--> 00:19:22

How can we judge the level of our belief in a lot of the last things the prophet SAW, Selim gave us this scale.

00:19:23--> 00:19:26

It is possible to judge ourselves

00:19:29--> 00:19:34

and we need to consciously think about what we say

00:19:36--> 00:19:38

what comes out of our mouth

00:19:40--> 00:19:41

because it's proof.

00:19:42--> 00:19:47

It's proof for others around us. And it's proof for ourselves.

00:19:51--> 00:19:53

difficult to achieve?

00:19:54--> 00:19:58

Very simple. The principle is not complicated.

00:20:00--> 00:20:08

But difficult to achieve it requires real work. Because the temptation is

00:20:09--> 00:20:12

to join people in

00:20:14--> 00:20:14

useless.

00:20:15--> 00:20:21

mindless evil. speech is great.

00:20:22--> 00:20:25

That is what most people are talking.

00:20:32--> 00:20:33

They're complaining about.

00:20:39--> 00:20:43

That's what that's what is the name of our speech. We just stop and think for a minute.

00:20:44--> 00:20:48

What did I talk about? Since silicon fudger this morning?

00:20:51--> 00:20:53

Since I woke up after silicon,

00:20:57--> 00:21:00

what do I talk about at my workplace?

00:21:01--> 00:21:02

What do I talk about?

00:21:03--> 00:21:05

With my children and my friends?

00:21:08--> 00:21:09

These are the science.

00:21:14--> 00:21:17

We're still alive, it is still possible for us to catch ourselves.

00:21:39--> 00:21:45

One should have a firm an uncompromising personality

00:21:48--> 00:21:51

and uncompromising personality.

00:21:53--> 00:21:55

One was six was

00:21:57--> 00:22:02

because he or she knows they will be held to account.

00:22:08--> 00:22:08

In

00:22:09--> 00:22:16

this 100 say, the evens are not the same.

00:22:17--> 00:22:22

Even though the abundance of evil may amaze you

00:22:23--> 00:22:24

the evil

00:22:28--> 00:22:32

though the abundance of evil may amaze you.

00:22:35--> 00:22:39

And we see so much evil and the evil seems to be getting away with

00:22:42--> 00:22:46

them, it might seem to us what's the difference?

00:22:48--> 00:22:49

What's the difference?

00:22:51--> 00:22:52

When you go in your job,

00:22:54--> 00:22:57

and you find your

00:23:00--> 00:23:07

committee, offenses, pocketing money, stealing property.

00:23:12--> 00:23:15

Everybody's doing it. nobody's getting

00:23:18--> 00:23:20

the supplies every month.

00:23:23--> 00:23:24

You attempted

00:23:28--> 00:23:37

this property is given to you to use in the office, it is for the office use not for your personal use not to take home, distribute amongst your family members.

00:23:39--> 00:23:41

But everybody else is doing it.

00:23:43--> 00:23:44

And they seem to be getting.

00:23:46--> 00:23:48

So the call to join them is great.

00:23:49--> 00:23:53

But if we believe in the last day, we stand firm.

00:23:55--> 00:23:56

Whenever that is says

00:24:00--> 00:24:01

yes, I'm worried about it.

00:24:02--> 00:24:05

You may not be worried about it, but I'm worried about it.

00:24:07--> 00:24:12

Because I know the consequence, I will have to meet it at another point in time.

00:24:13--> 00:24:24

And know that every property of your brothers that you take, it will only be fire in your bellies on the Day of Judgment.

00:24:26--> 00:24:41

With every property of the brothers that you take, will only be fire in your bellies, on the day of judgment. That is the end result. That should be enough to stop us

00:24:45--> 00:24:58

the last major characteristics and characteristics. The last major characteristics is a confident characteristic. That one has a confident personality.

00:25:00--> 00:25:00

One

00:25:02--> 00:25:03

does not worry

00:25:04--> 00:25:05

about

00:25:09--> 00:25:19

what may seem to be that they may get away. They're committing evil, there doesn't seem to be any judgment for them.

00:25:21--> 00:25:33

They don't question this, they are confident that doing the right thing will benefit them on a day to come.

00:25:35--> 00:25:39

Doing the right thing will benefit them as an asset.

00:25:43--> 00:25:47

Is there any reward for good, other than good.

00:25:50--> 00:25:53

So we do the right thing you feel confident

00:25:55--> 00:25:55

that we will

00:25:59--> 00:26:01

if we choose not

00:26:06--> 00:26:07

to buy.

00:26:11--> 00:26:13

And we instead

00:26:14--> 00:26:17

use the monies that we actually have to buy or use.

00:26:21--> 00:26:22

Without us,

00:26:23--> 00:26:26

even if it breaks down, and we have to pay more money.

00:26:28--> 00:26:38

With every hour that we pay for that used car, staying within our means, rather than buying a nice, shiny new one,

00:26:39--> 00:26:40

everybody

00:26:47--> 00:26:48

very much

00:26:50--> 00:26:50

attractive.

00:26:52--> 00:26:54

While your family feels happy when you're driving, it

00:27:01--> 00:27:04

just gets you from A to Z. That's it.

00:27:07--> 00:27:10

About one cheaper one

00:27:11--> 00:27:16

that you spend your money in for the sake of avoiding the

00:27:17--> 00:27:18

interest.

00:27:20--> 00:27:21

The mortgage,

00:27:22--> 00:27:27

any form of Riba you're trying to avoid doing the right thing?

00:27:29--> 00:27:46

at its best, and allow a multiplier on the day to come. And you feel confident about it feel like, Okay, I'm doing it because yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do. I wish I could be the other one. And you know, in your heart, your heart is still there, right? You're

00:27:52--> 00:27:56

still attached to want that shiny new one that

00:27:57--> 00:28:01

creates in that individual sense of confidence. They know.

00:28:04--> 00:28:04

And they know.

00:28:06--> 00:28:12

And they don't feel ashamed, because there's nothing to be ashamed about, shall we be ashamed about pleasing?

00:28:13--> 00:28:19

That is a big mistake. We should never feel ashamed about doing the right thing.

00:28:20--> 00:28:27

So this is a belief in the last day called Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he was that example.

00:28:28--> 00:28:33

He was the classical example of what we just spoke about.

00:28:34--> 00:28:36

And that is why a lot

00:28:47--> 00:28:48

for the example

00:28:50--> 00:28:53

of one of the leaves in the last day

00:28:54--> 00:28:55

someone will have

00:29:13--> 00:29:18

from the palm tree covered by a thin skin from leather,

00:29:19--> 00:29:27

which didn't prevent the flowers from sticking through and leaving the impression on his body when he would get up.

00:29:30--> 00:29:33

This was the example of the Prophet of

00:29:35--> 00:29:35

Allah.

00:29:36--> 00:29:39

He was confident of the Word

00:29:40--> 00:29:41

of the Day of Judgment.

00:29:43--> 00:29:44

He didn't feel ashamed

00:29:45--> 00:29:47

to live simply and you

00:29:50--> 00:29:57

elevating him so when he would come along his companions and they were all sitting down, and some of them got up to stand for him. As

00:29:58--> 00:29:59

noted

00:30:00--> 00:30:02

The features in

00:30:05--> 00:30:06

the terminal

00:30:07--> 00:30:09

don't stand for me.

00:30:11--> 00:30:16

One who desires people to stand for them in this life, we'll be standing in the hairstyle the next.

00:30:18--> 00:30:20

He forbade them for standing.

00:30:24--> 00:30:25

When people came

00:30:27--> 00:30:31

from other regions, to meet him, to discuss with him

00:30:41--> 00:30:49

cuz they're expecting to see somebody in fancy robes, you know, sitting on a throne and looking like

00:30:50--> 00:31:00

an important figure that he was indistinguishable from his companions. They would just say, he's the one that was the

00:31:01--> 00:31:02

one in the corner. They're

00:31:06--> 00:31:08

very different from the rest.

00:31:09--> 00:31:14

And he felt confident about it. And that is the example of simplicity

00:31:16--> 00:31:18

of confidence.

00:31:19--> 00:31:24

If one was conscious of whatever he did, he would always ask

00:31:27--> 00:31:28

did I harm anybody?

00:31:31--> 00:31:32

He would ask if anybody

00:31:34--> 00:31:34

was

00:31:35--> 00:31:36

inadvertently

00:31:42--> 00:31:42

he was

00:31:43--> 00:31:54

in his household. Why His servants would say he never commanded us to do they never charged us for doing anything wrong.

00:31:58--> 00:32:04

A person who was careful about everything that he said and did.

00:32:06--> 00:32:06

I asked her

00:32:08--> 00:32:11

to give us the awareness of the last day
