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.
