Day of Judgment.
Imagine this scene.
It's very scary.
That scene, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
all protect us and make it easy for
us.
We are here, each one of us individually.
That's not all of us.
So you cannot help me.
I can't help you.
Here I am alone in front of Allah,
and he said, oh, okay.
So you took your beauty more important than
me.
Call your beauty.
You took your son, your daughter, this person
or that person, put him number one over
me.
Call him.
وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُنَا دُوْ شُرَكَئِيَةٌۢ Here, of course, this
is for the people who really worship other
than Allah.
But we worship Allah alone, but we worship
small g's.
As one of my teachers, he always used
to call it small g, not the capital
G.
A small one.
Then why do we disobey Allah?
Why do I not pray five times a
day?
Why do I say this or that, dress
this or that?
Why?
Because I don't blame it on shaytan.
Because I like it.
I want to be like everybody.
Why do I want to be different?
And then shaytan plays on that.
And by the way, each one of us
have their own shaytan.
And then and there is shayateen al-ins
wal-jinn, small shayateen also.
But why some people, their shaytan is stronger
than the others.
They all have power.
Why one is more stronger than the other?
I give the opportunity.
It's exactly like when you say to your
children, why your friend didn't do that and
you did that?
Why?
Your friend is stronger.
That's the same way.
Because he's going to whisper the same way
in all of us, in all our ears.
Same.
But some people have the medicine ready.
And what is the medicine?
Number one is dhikr.
Dhikr of Allah.
If you're always in dhikr of Allah, I'm
not saying dhikr of Allah, you memorize all
the dhikr.
He's always in your mind.
Are you happy with me?
Allah, make it easy.
Ya Rabbi, I'm going to fear.
Ya Allah, make me stronger.
This is all dhikr.
Then he said, fa ya'uma yaqulu na'du
shuraka'i lathina za'amtum You said, there
is other than me.
Bring them.
fa da'awuhum falam yastajeebu lahum They called
them.
No one will answer.
The friend who was going to tell you,
don't do that.
Well, this is we are living in the
in the West.
We are living wherever.
And this is to 2024.
That friend will not answer when I say,
come and help me.
Or if I was the person, whoever I
lured, may Allah protect us all.
Then I will not be able to come
and help you.
Right?
Ya'uma yafirru almar'u min akhi, wa
ummihi, wa abihi, wa sahibatihi, wa banihi.
Even your children, spouse, parents, nobody, nafsi, nafsi,
everyone will be worried about herself.
So why not?
I'm worried about myself here.
And I'm thinking of my akhira, wa ra'
al-mujrimun al-nara fa thannu annahum muwa'ti
'uha wa lam yajidu anha masrifah And the,
here Allah used al-mujrimun.
Literally, it's the criminals.
The criminals against what?
And the other name Allah frequently using because
of dhalimun.
Those who have committed injustice.
Injustice against what?
Themselves.
When I do not obey Allah, I really
have, I want you all to entertain this
thought.
Don't worry about other people.
When I do not obey Allah, I am
doing, I'm wronging myself.
I'm not wronging anybody.
Because I am the loser there.
And when I obey Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, I may be benefiting somebody else, but
mainly I'm benefiting myself.
Why?
Because the beautiful principle of this deen, la
taziru waziratun wizra ukhra.
Not a single soul will take the burden
of another.
And he said it to Fatima.
Ya Fatima bint Muhammad, la ughni aanki min
Allahi shayya.
Fatima, his daughter, he's a prophet.
And he said about her, diya bid'atun
minni, she's part of me.
Fatima, he looked at her and said, I
cannot, I cannot whatsoever help you.
Ya Fatima, la ughni aanki min Allahi shayya.
It doesn't matter your father is Muhammad, alayhi
salatu wassalam.
It doesn't matter.
It's not gonna help.
His uncle didn't help.
So, anytime, this is why we need some
time with ourselves.
Just sit down and see, where are we
going?
Where are we in this life?
Where are we in this journey?
I don't know how much left, Allah knows.
But where am I?
And where is my goal?
Where do I wanna be?
Wanna be in the best house in dunya?
Well, I wanna be in palace in akhirah.
I wanna have this best neighbor?
Well, I went to Rasul, alayhi salatu wassalam,
my neighbor, that I have to work for.
