00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			As we are living in this life, we're
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			gonna be doing things
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			or not doing things.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			And
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			is that it?
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			As we leave this life,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			these deeds,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			whether good or not, will stay here and
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			and leave us and will be separated
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			completely?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			The answer is no.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			In Islam,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			they will come with us.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			And on the day of judgment, and may
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			Allah make it easy for everybody,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			These acts,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			they're gonna come
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			in front of us day by day,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			moment by moment. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			said it in the Quran clearly.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			Every human being and look at the words
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			Allah said.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			Said. We made
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			the ta or the bird attached to his
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			neck.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			So why the bird related to the deeds?
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Because the deeds fly.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			Basically I did it last week, I don't
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			even remember, it went away
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			for
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			me. But for Allah
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			they are still
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			attached to me as if they are attached
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			to my neck and they will not leave
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			me.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			I don't see it here anymore. I don't
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			even remember. But on the day of judgment,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			when I am there,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			on the day of judgment, May Allah make
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			it again easy for all of us. The
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			book, all these flying deeds that we don't
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			remember in words,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			but they are attached to us, and they're
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			gonna come in a book that Allah
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			will bring it forth.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			The person is gonna say what is wrong
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			with this book?
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Did not leave anything?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			Nothing small? Nothing big? But have counted? Have
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			written it? It's right there? He didn't forget
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			anything.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Counted it. It's there.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So what I do, what I say,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			not only is being recorded,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			but it I am gonna be responsible for
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			it,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and I will pay the price for it,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			or I will get the reward of it.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			And that's the
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			one of the beautiful concept of Islam is
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			accountability.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Lata
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			02 wizra'abha.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			No soul will carry the burden of the
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			others. If I make a mistake, I'll pay
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			the price for it, sometimes in Dunia.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			But sometimes if I don't see anything in
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			dunya as happening, that doesn't mean Allah
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			had forgotten
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			or what I have done is not recorded.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Your Lord never forget.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			And on the day of judgment is gonna
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			be a moment of joy or a moment
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			of regret when I read
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			that book.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			Come on in. Come on. Read the book.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			I knew.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			I prepared.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			I was all the time thinking of the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			accountability.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			I'm gonna be taken responsible.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			The person who prepare for the akhira,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			the person who look
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			to every act in this life
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			as a mean for an eternal happiness
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			in the hereafter, he will be or she
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			will be happy.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			He or she is living in a pleasant
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			life.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			May Allah give it to us all in
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			a high garden.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			The opposite is also true.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			The one who did not think of that,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			did not take
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			responsibility,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			did not think, did not look at what
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			he or she is doing is gonna be
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			completely
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			the opposite and will be a moment of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			regret.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			I wish the book was not given to
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			me. When we see
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			the result of our accountability,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			we're gonna beg Allah
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			to bring us back.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			You Allah, please send me back. I will
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			do good deed.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			It's a word.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Just on the tip of the tongue.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			And
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			a long
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			life is in front of them before resurrection.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Here we are. We are in this life.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			The goal of this life
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			is to represent Allah, as we said, but
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			also we will pay the price, good or
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			bad, for what we are doing.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			And what Allah wants from us
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			is basically obey him, and everything Allah
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			wanted us to do, ordered us to do
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			directly or through
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			is good for us.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			Allah made lawful everything that's good for me,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			and he made everything that is not good
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			for me haram.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			So let's think. Let's take moments in our
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			life especially in this blessed month. Let's take
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			a moment. Let's reflect.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Let's let's see what are we doing as
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			habits. Are these gonna be on the day
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			of judgment a source of joy for me,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			or this is gonna be the opposite? Can
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			I change? The answer is yes. Allah will
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			make things easy. Anytime I wanna get closer
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he will make
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			it easy. He will facilitate it. I take
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			the first initiative. He will make the rest
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			easy. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make us
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			all from the people who will be given
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			their book in the right hand,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			where we'll be happy and then we will
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			look forward
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			to our place in Jannah.
