00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			For coming. May Allah bless this place. It's
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			a beautiful place, but I am gonna make
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:09
			a
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			disclaimer.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			I thought it is way much bigger than
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			this.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			It looks very big from the outside. So
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			when they told me the mussala of the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			man are bigger, I guess I'm coming from
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			California and everything is big there.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			So
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			may Allah reward you. I'm gonna
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			try to make every woman here in this
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			room,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			by Allah grace, is to look into your
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			heart yourself.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			And beef before I start or anything I'm
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			gonna share, I don't want you to think
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			of anybody except you.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Because if you're gonna say, if it is
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			good, don't even think about somebody else. Say,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			is it you? And if it is not
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			you,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			insha Allah it is all you. Why not?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			And if it is negative,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			don't you ever think of someone else. Then
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			you didn't learn.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			All tasliyah, all purification,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			all getting better, getting closer to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			Wa Ta'ala is all about me with Allah.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			It has nothing to do with other people
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			including my children, including my spouse, including my
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			friend. It's not not about people. And all
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			of you I want you to remember as
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			we are starting
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			that on the day of judgment
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			I'm gonna go to Allah alone.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			No one will help me.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			No one will come to my rescue.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			And if anyone is worse than me,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			it's not gonna change my status with Allah.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			And if anyone is better than me, it
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			is not gonna change my status with Allah.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			You need to know this, and that's why
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			all tazkiyah,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			all purification of the heart
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			is all about me and my relationship with
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			Allah.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Is that clear for everybody?
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			So from now don't think of anyone.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			Anything is ask yourself, is it me?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			When we come to the negative and I
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			don't know how much time we will have
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			for the negative,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			the answer is always yes.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			Don't say it is not me.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			Never ever
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			and this may be very
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			different than what we are used to, especially
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			living in this country, especially for the 2nd
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			generation,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			people who were born raised here,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			Because we love to praise ourselves,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			and we don't normally praise ourselves directly.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			You know how we praise ourselves?
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			Indirectly.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			You want for mothers in this room. You
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			want people to praise your children. Why?
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			You're praising yourself.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			You want somebody to praise your the school
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			you are going to.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			Oh, she got accepted to to whatever, Georgetown.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			You're basically not praising Georgetown.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			You're praising yourself,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			and we by nature love that,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			seek it,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			and we get upset when we don't get
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			it.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			This needs to change.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			Allah said this in the stars, do not,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			and
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			is don't. There's no possibility.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			Do not praise yourself
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			or claim you're purified.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			He, Allah,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			knows
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			who is the real Muttaqir. The real person
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			of Taqwa.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			So don't praise yourself
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			and the sign
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			and memorize this all of you. The sign
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			you do not like to be praised
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			is not you don't wanna hear it.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			What happens if they don't?
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			And what happens and I'm not talking about
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			externally, internally. This all task here is about
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			inside, feelings.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			What happens
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			if you have done the best work
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			and someone did not say Jazakih Yakhira
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			or did not praise and says this is
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			beautiful. If you get upset,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			then you really need to work on yourself,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			including it's from your spouse or your children
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			or your anyone. The only one you want
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			you
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			want,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			him with capital h to praise you is
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			Allah,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			and he's not gonna praise you here.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			And if he if he he is not
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			because if people praise me doesn't mean anything
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			in the sight of Allah.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			I want when I go to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			Wa Ta'ala, I am the one he's waiting
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			for.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			And I want him when he looks at
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			me and says when he looks at my
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			salah, for example,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			and he will say, what a salah you
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			did.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			That's what I want.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			If you praise me, all of you, all
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			of you I think we are more than
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			a 1000 tier, I was told. If we
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			all of you praised me and it weighed
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			0 in the eye of Allah,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			What is gonna benefit me at the day
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			of judgment?
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			Nothing. Exactly.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			0.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			So don't focus on people, and I'm saying
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			this because this is our problem,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			women especially.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			We always work from morning to evening
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			to please people,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			to impress people. Am I correct?
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			Please people impress people.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			Right? Get upset because she said, he said,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			didn't say, he didn't say.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			And what about you with Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			Ta'ala?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			The Qalbu Saleem, the true heart,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			that's
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			her focus.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			That's her focus.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			It's not what you think of me.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			It's what he thinks of me.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			And I don't know, so I'm gonna keep
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			trying, and I'm gonna keep doing my best,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			and I'm gonna ask him for forgiveness, and
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			I'm gonna say, I'm trying.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			I'm not gonna
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			say
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			I live all my life with this. You're
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			all forgiving.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			You're all merciful. I know that. There's no
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			question about it, but I'm not gonna rely
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			on this
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			because then I'm gonna come to him,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			and I'm taking
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:05
			maybe
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:06
			B minus.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			I don't wanna go to Allah with B
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:10
			minus.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Who wants to go to any place with
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			B minus?
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:15
			Do
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			you? If you cook something, you wanna say,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			grade it, and I'll say B minus. Are
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			you gonna be happy? No.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			We all want A, A plus,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			gifted.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			Why not with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Have we ever thought of that?
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			When you are invited in a gathering,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			a wedding, a graduation, a big gathering, Don't
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			you
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			spend how much time
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			in the way that pleases Allah in front
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			of the mirror, and you say, I want
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			to go in, and I wanna feel
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			I am
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			I look the best. Don't you wanna do
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			that? All of us, in the way pleases
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			Allah, pay attention to this word.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			Then as you are doing this,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			you need to ask yourself,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			how I'm gonna go to Allah?
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			How I'm gonna go? We are all going.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			You wanna forget it, you wanna you don't
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			wanna live, you don't wanna think about it,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			do whatever you want. We're going.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Allah said this in Surat Maryam. Each one
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:20
			of them
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			will will come to Allah
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			It's in the future.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			They will come to him single.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			Just like when Allah brought us out, the
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			baby is alone.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			Are you
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			ready?
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			And are you ready not for that meeting
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			which is very scary? That's why I always
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			tell myself and anybody else when they have
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			an interview.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			Right? And everybody get anxiety
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			the day before
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			and I say you want to get over
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			your anxiety?
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Think of the moment you are meeting Allah.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			You who you're gonna meet tomorrow?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			People like you and me. Right?
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			They cannot benefit me and they cannot harm
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			me unless Allah allows
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			it. True or false?
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			If the whole jinn and ins get together
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			to bring like this Quran, they will not.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			And what did he say
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			to say? The famous hadith that most of
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			you know the meaning. When he was a
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			boy, a young boy behind him. Right? I'm
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			gonna teach you words.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			The scholar said he was about maybe 11.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			Look at our 11 year old.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			And long hadith at the end he was
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			telling him,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			no.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			If this whole nation
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			got together
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			to benefit you with something, they will not
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			benefit you but with something Allah has already
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			decreed.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			Why do we worry about people?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			Why do we worry about people? What they
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			say about me? She looked at me. She
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			backbited me. Who cares? Let her gift me
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			my hasa her hasanat. Thank you. Keep it
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			coming.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			That's how I say. Wallahi, that's how I
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			say. Great. You just gifted me all your
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			tarawihah from Ramadan.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			How lucky I am.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			But we don't think about it this way
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			because we are
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			focused on us, and please forgive me,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			or our ego.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			Our ego, how dare she say this?
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			Don't she know? Doesn't she know who I
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			am?
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			This all needs to be I'm giving you
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			an introduction because you need all as I
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			am talking, I want you to all think,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			is this is me?
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			Do I really get upset when someone doesn't
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			praise me?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			Do I really get upset when someone doesn't
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			invite me?
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Do I really get upset because they said
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			this or that?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			Then
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			the heart
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			is not true.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			They call it. As Sayyidina, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			ta'ala said it. As Allah
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			He's talking to Allah,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			and this is Sayyidina Ibrahim.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			And he's saying to him,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			Do not
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			disgrace me
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			the day of resurrection.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			It's not Allah Allah will not do this
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			to me and you. It's my actions.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			Meaning, don't expose me.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			Don't let me disobey you.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			Don't let me not be what you want.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			And then he continue,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			and this the next two verses,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			honestly, I want every woman in this room
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			to memorize it.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Memorize the meaning.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			The day which is the day of resurrection,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			nothing will come to my benefit.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			Nothing will come to my veil.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			Nothing will help me.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			That's what he's saying.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			And then he specified 2 things,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			and I'm gonna say it and I want
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			you to tell me why these 2.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			The day where no wealth
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			or children
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			will be of benefit to me. Why these
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			2?
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			Why didn't he say husband?
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Why didn't he say parents?
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			Man,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42
			wealth
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			and Banu
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44
			because
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			we disobey Allah
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			because of those 2.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			We love Duniya. What is Duniya?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			Almalu
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			walbanoon
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			zina tul Hayatid Duniya. You all know it's
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			in Surat Al Kahr.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			Wealth and children
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			is the glory of this life,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			and Sayyidina Ibrahim knew that and he said,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			when someone say this, he or she Now
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			why I'm sharing this with you?
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			Because I need to prepare my life.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			You know, that this is just a side
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			note, and I don't want you to feel
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			bad. But when some people celebrate their birthday,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			and people look at me and say, do
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			you celebrate birthday? You know, the usual question
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			was haram, all these 9 yards.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			I I ask one question.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			I'm not gonna say haram and halal. Everything
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			is haram and halal. Leave haram and halal
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			on the side. Why? I want you to
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			use your drink.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			I'm not talking about the 3 or 4
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			year old because there is a cake and
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			there's gifts. I'm talking about us.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			What are we celebrating?
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			No, really.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			I want you to think of it seriously,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:53
			deeply.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			When I somebody brings this big cake,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			put it in front of me, and after
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			certain age, they don't put number off.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Right? At all. It's only 1.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			Reality, I'm very happy or some people sings
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			or blow the candle. Hey, you are. Okay.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			What are you celebrating?
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			You know, when people ask me, I say
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			about myself,
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			do I really wanna celebrate 1 year closer
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			to my death?
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			Is that a moment I wanna celebrate?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			So forget halal and harangry.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			I'm talking why? Because when we get there
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			or the same thing when we get to
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			the new year, whether it is the the
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			new our new year, meaning the 2024 or
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			it is the Islamic new year. These moments
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			should be moments of
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:46
			reflections.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			25, you become 26.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			What did you do on this 25 years?
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			Let's say you are a baby. You have
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			a okay. From age 15, what did you
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			do in this 10 years? Not in dunya
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			because we all talk about dunya. Remember,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			money
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			and children
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			will not come to my grave. I don't
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			care how much money you have in your
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			bank account. It will be 0 when I'm
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			in front of Allah.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			So this is the extremely important for us
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			as we are Muslims living in the strat
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			race very quick, all this.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Don't forget where are you heading.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			Where are you heading?
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			Sooner or later?
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Say the dust that you are running away
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			from,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			he,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			it
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			will meet you.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			Nobody lived.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			No one lived. And if anybody
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			should have not died, it would be who?
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			Imagine
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			recite this verse to the sahaba.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			Like Sayyidina Jibreel
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			revealed this to him.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			Imagine every time I read it, I was
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			like, you Allah,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			someone comes to you and say, you're dying.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			Sayyidina Jibri said,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			it's an emphasis.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			You're made it and made it when you
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			read it. It's like with an emphasis.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			Nobody will be here.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			All of us are going. This is temporary.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			So here,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			what I am supposed to do is everything
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			Allah wants me to do. I am the
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			stewards on this earth, but then as I
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			am in this journey, we have a lot
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			of detours I call it. Distractions.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			All of us.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			But as I am distracted, am I in
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			a constant
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			revision
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			looking at where I am?
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			What happened, what did I achieve.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			I guess I think this is the most
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			important question every Muslim should ask.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			What did you do
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			yet up till now in your life
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			for your journey
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
