00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Where is your focus?
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			What is your focus?
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			It's a very common question.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			You hear it every, almost very common these
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			days, especially with the youth.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			They say, at age 30, I don't know
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			why they put 30, but that's how it
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			is these days.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			At age 30, what's your plans?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			What do you think you will be in
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			10 years from now, in five years from
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			now?
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			Have you heard that?
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Speak to any person in business, that's the
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			first question they've studied, right?
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			What is your five years plan?
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			One day I talked with a businessman, very
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			successful, Muslim, and he said, I'm planning for
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			30 years.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			And I said, subhanAllah.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			And he said, what is wrong with the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			doctora?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			I said, 30 years?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Do I know I'm living tomorrow?
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			Then my next question is, what is your
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			plan for akhira?
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Do we have a plan for akhira?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			Is the akhira on my daily schedule or
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			on my daily plans or on my five
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			year plan?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			If my relationship with Allah is very strong,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			then my focus on akhira comes right away.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			Because to me, akhira is not about jannah
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			or not.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			It's not about jannah, heavens, and hellfire.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Akhira to me, the hereafter to me is,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			it's my appointment.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Finally, I'm gonna see him.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			Finally, as Sayyidina Bilal, when he died.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			He was dying.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			Imagine this, you and me.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			How scared we will be.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			And he said, aghadan naqal ahlba muhammadin wa
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			sahbih.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			Allah, tomorrow, I'm gonna finally see Muhammad and
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			his companion.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			That's focus.
