1 of the absolute
truth
or one of the most certain thing or
the only certainty
that we can say for sure this thing
is gonna happen is actually
we're gonna die,
and we're gonna go and meet Allah's Panmata'il.
And the Quran actually covered
death and dying
in many angles, from many angles. But one
of the powerful
verses is when he talked about the moment
of death,
meaning
we are not dead yet, but it is
there.
The moment of death
came in
and Allah didn't say moment. He said, wajaat
sakratulnu.
Sakra is literally from sakara.
It's intoxication.
So Allah described the moment
of death or the dying moment
is like someone who is intoxicated,
meaning
he does not or she does not know
what is going on around them externally,
but internally they are completely different.
And
Wah used waja at kaim
sakra, the moment of intoxication,
Bilhaq.
And Bilhaq is a truth. So what is
this truth? Many commentary on it. Basically,
death is here. That moment
brought the truth.
That's what you were,
running away
thinking it's not going to happen, thinking somebody
else. We see this every single day, but
we don't think we will die. But this
moment of dying, and some of us may
have witnessed this,
and you see the person dying, they change,
they look at something, you don't know what
they are looking.
Are they hearing us? Allah knows, but they
are still alive, but the last breaths is
coming out.
Death is true.
This is what you are running
away from.
And Allah is very close to us because
before that Allah says,
We are closer to that human being than
the jugular vein. We know everything he does,
he does and everything he doesn't and what
he feels and what he doesn't.
And Allah knows that, but still we have
the angels who are writing everything.
This isn't life before I die. The angels
are writing every single thing. Why, you Allah,
you know everything so on the day of
judgment,
I will have no way
to deny what I have done or said
because Allah will show it to me. SubhanAllah.
The good news is
that the the 2 angels, one
write the good deeds, which is the right
side, and left angel write the sins. But
then when the left angel, and then the
hadith, the meaning of it, is that the
left angel will wait. He will not send
it or write it right away. He is
gonna wait for about 6 hours.
Hopefully that person who committed that sin will
repent
because once we repent,
this sin is removed completely.
One of the
moments
that is very powerful in the life of
Rasul 'satan,
actually when he was dying and Saida Aisha
described it. She said, Rasu, alaihis salatu sanan,
when the
intoxicating
moment of death came to him, in his
hand there was a wood container
and it has water, and he put his
hand
and he was washing his face and he
said,
there is no god but worthy of worship
but him.
Death or dying moment
has sakharat is actually agony, pain. And then
the angel came to him and they gave
him the choice, do you want to stay
here or do you want to be with
the Rafiqul Ala, the high companion,
and he said,
and he passed. So for you and me,
what do I think? What do I need
to comprehend? If he
the real servant of Allah, the one who
the kib, the first one who's gonna open
Jannah, the one whose all his sins were
forgiven.
All the sins were forgiven, and he felt
it, that
what about you and me?
Now we will feel it, but in another
hadith,
the meaning of that when the soul leaves
the body, if the soul is leaving the
body of the believer, the righteous person, it
will leave very quickly and very softly, and
the opposite.
Allah described also this moment in another verse
in the Quran,
When it will reach, it is the soul.
Is
actually the throat.
And you are looking at that dying person,
but we don't know what's going on.
And we are much closer to him than
what you are seeing.
These moments
should serve to you and me as reminders.
Why did Allah put it in the Koran?
Because you want to remind me that one
day I'm going to be living that moment.
And the question always have to come to
all of us is, are we ready?
If this happened this moment, if this happened
today,
if this happened tomorrow,
are we ready to go and meet Allah
It's true.
It is for sure happening.
I just need to be ready for it
and Allah described it to me in the
Quran all over the Quran.
What does it mean to be ready?
Those who believe
and do a good deed, we have nothing
to worry about. As long as we have
changed everything in our life, in our daily
life, to make it an act of worship
and pleasing to Allah
Then the believer on the contrary, as Sayyid
Nabiral, when he was dying
and he was happy and he said, finally,
Finally, tomorrow, I'm gonna go and meet Muhammad
and
his companion
because he spent all his life in the
obedience of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala so he
knows where he will be.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make us learn
this, make us ready for that moment. May
Allah make that moment easy for us. May
Allah
his mercy on us and everybody.
