Where is your focus?
What is your focus?
It's a very common question.
You hear it every, almost very common these
days, especially with the youth.
They say, at age 30, I don't know
why they put 30, but that's how it
is these days.
At age 30, what's your plans?
What do you think you will be in
10 years from now, in five years from
now?
Have you heard that?
Speak to any person in business, that's the
first question they've studied, right?
What is your five years plan?
One day I talked with a businessman, very
successful, Muslim, and he said, I'm planning for
30 years.
And I said, subhanAllah.
And he said, what is wrong with the
doctora?
I said, 30 years?
Do I know I'm living tomorrow?
Then my next question is, what is your
plan for akhira?
Do we have a plan for akhira?
Is the akhira on my daily schedule or
on my daily plans or on my five
year plan?
If my relationship with Allah is very strong,
then my focus on akhira comes right away.
Because to me, akhira is not about jannah
or not.
It's not about jannah, heavens, and hellfire.
Akhira to me, the hereafter to me is,
it's my appointment.
Finally, I'm gonna see him.
Finally, as Sayyidina Bilal, when he died.
He was dying.
Imagine this, you and me.
How scared we will be.
And he said, aghadan naqal ahlba muhammadin wa
sahbih.
Allah, tomorrow, I'm gonna finally see Muhammad and
his companion.
That's focus.
