			me?
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			I do this.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			I do this You don't know how you
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			will die and The same thing for those
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			people who they think or I may Allah
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			forgive me or you look at people and
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			says look at her Look at him.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			Ah Don't look down at them.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			You don't know how they will die they
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			may die and doing something way better than
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			you and me and This is also a
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			Hadith of a Rasool alias.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			So Allah subhan Allah now brings me to
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			The day of judgment moved me from this
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			life to reality and he starts talking about
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			very little about Jannah Which is very interesting
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			very few ayat about heavens in surah Yasin,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			don't ask me why other places a lot
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			of description, but there is a lot much
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			longer about Jannah Why?
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			Because I need to be scared.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			I Need to be reminded is what I
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			always say this to myself, right?
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			Scholars always differ.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			This is very common question for everybody Do
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			you always scare people or do I always
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			live with fear of what I did?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			Jahannam the day of judgment the grave the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			punishment Is that how I need to live
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			or I need to live with Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			wa'ta'ala is very forgiving.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			Don't worry.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			You're okay Which one?
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			No No, that's what you all have to
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			learn They said and I loved it.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			Actually They said it depends on the people
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			if the people are so comfortable with this
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			life and They are in a state of
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			heedlessness.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			You need to scare them wake them up
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			If they are on the contrary very scared
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			They are living their daily life almost paralyzed.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			I can't I can't imagine myself in the
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			grave I can't imagine myself facing Allah you
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			need now to give them hope and Definitely
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			give them hope at the time of death.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			Don't you tell somebody they are dying or
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			they were diagnosed with Let's say terminal that
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			Wow, nothing much left in you.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			I don't know what you're gonna do or
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			Allah is should be do like God.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			That's not the time That's not the time
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			when you say Allah have severe punishment But
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			this is the time when you and me
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			comfort zone in in here and we have
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			at me and remind me this may change
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			in a second Are you ready?

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			You will live in the grave way longer.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Did you see my point?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			So here Allah swt because the people before
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			were so arrogant made fun of that man
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:12
