Okay
firstly brothers and sisters salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Last couple of sessions, we spoke about
the greed of wealth, then we spoke about wealth in general. And how wealth has been mentioned in the Quran.
Today's session is going to be something that follows on from that, which is that people have desires, people have people get sucked into this world, people get sucked into,
you know, the life and whatever its surrounding it.
And to be honest with you,
I want to say something which might shock a lot of
the antidote of that.
Which is like the thing that we need
to
the medicine, right, the medicine we need, is actually the remembrance of death.
The medicine to all of these, the medicine to your worries, right, is the remembrance of death. Some of you might be thinking, What's he talking about? That's our biggest problem, right? How can you be remembering death,
when that's like the worst thing that can happen to us.
And then after that, you're telling us that the worst thing that's gonna come to us in our lives, the rumors of death, is our medicine, to all these desires, and all these things that was talking to you telling us that all the way even if you've got problems, you're telling us that that is going to be the medicine alarm saying exactly that.
I'm saying exactly that. And you got it, you got to know how to look at it.
Okay, you got to know how to look at it.
Because
I want to give you the Hadith a little later. But let me tell you how it works. If I was to say to you, you're a free man
if I was to say to you that you're going to be going to prison
and if the date of your prison going to prison comes so let's say today you're going to prison and right now you're going to go into prison. How you gonna feel
you're gonna feel oh my god I'm at a loss a great loss. I'm losing my family I'm losing my freedom I'm losing my house I'm losing my comfort losing my good food I'm losing my friends I'm losing my you know the confidence just going out I'm losing all of that.
And I'm going to be constrained into this one place prison
is gonna be very bad thing for you to think of you that that you know going from from freedom into prison is a very bad thing. I love it. Twisted over. If I said to you, you're in prison.
And your release date is coming.
Are you gonna feel
me very happy let's say today's release date. You're going to be thinking you know what I'm looking forward to it. I want to get out of this place
I haven't had good food Yeah, I haven't had you know come for the on my bed you know he's very you know, hard my you know, I've got a very constrained space tomorrow I'm gonna go out and go home I'm gonna go out to the world I'm gonna go to the parks I'm gonna you know fly on a plane I'm gonna do all these things. So is freedom freedom is coming what's the thing that what's the what's the two things that are said to you was one was from from your house or from your from your free life to prison. And the other one was from prison to the free life right?
Now, death is exactly the same for everyone who listened to this. You're either going from your free life into prison once death comes or you're going from a prison to free life. Let me let me tell how it works. If I see this world as my biggest comfort I see this world as the biggest comfort right? And I see like you know everything around your blue I'm I'm loving this I'm loving I'm loving my wealth. I'm loving my job I'm loving my freedom my life I'm loving all the things that my friends my family my comfort my household. The oldest is that yes, yes. Yes. Right. So I've made that my comfort and then I'm seeing death and I'm going to lose all of this. Right? Then death to me sounds
like a very bad place to go to because I want to lose I want to be alone in my grave alone with no one no mom, No dad, no friend no family, no comfort. No nothing. Oh my god. Cold grave, you know, dark, whatever I want. I don't know where I'm going with that. That's That's scary. That's like you go
From free life towards a prison, but if you're if you live the life, according to what Rasulullah sallallahu said, and he said, instead of doing a sigil movement, he said that dunya is the prison of a believer. So how you feel as a believer? Is this how you feel? I know even most believers don't understand how to look at it. So let me tell you how you look at it. How you should feel is right, I've got a house here.
But I've got many many houses in Ghana, I've got House of silver of gold of rubies of diamonds of emeralds, I've got all of that.
I've got
let's say a wife here.
I've got 72 over the
minimum that was minimum. The minimum things are above that other the minimum I've got you know my conference here let's say for example, my bed here, right over there. The conference are going to be that I'll never need to sleep again.
I've got enjoyment here. Right. I taste something I like it over there. It's endless tasting, endless sweetness. So you taste the same fruit again again, and each time it gets sweeter and sweeter and sweeter. The same fruit sweeter and sweeter, sweeter, sweeter, sweeter.
I know diabetics, thank you know sweet now not too thick. No, but diabetics, no stomachache. No going to the toilet not going to the toilet. No cleaning. You got cleaning to do here every time you have to clean this stuff over the agenda knocking no one ever cleans. There's no cleaners in general. If you're a cleaning you're not going to get a job in general I'm sorry.
You think about it like their life if you're a believer and how you feel is this look I can't drink alcohol as a as a believer I can't drink alcohol. I have sometimes I watch these guys you know out there the drinking that these that that right? Of course you get drunk here in general. You don't get drunk, by the way. Yeah, but the drinking here they're enjoying themselves. They're laughing Isn't that right? Now Alhamdulillah I have never had the temptation of ever to drink. But if you think about it, like drinking the like sleeping with whatever women you want, they're going out there and you know gambling going and just wasting your money going out there and taking whatever
you know getting on a high whatever. These people that do this are clubbing, dating, dancing, whatever they do, I can't do any of that. I'm restricted. So the person who said My life is like a prison, unrestricted from all of these things. I can't go out there and you know, do things that all these other people out there do not unrestricted. I have to check what's halal after check what's haram are to take the hell out. I have to leave the hat on I have to stay. I have to control my tongue. I have to be careful what I say I'm angry when it
comes in. Your hurts, man. It hurts. I'm restricted. I'm listening to my actions. I'm restrict do I want to watch this honestly, relax what is Madrid comes I'm gonna get up and free. mclubbe unrestricted is like a prisoner when they say when they go.
Come at your cells and share your name. So they're gonna walk out the cells, they're gonna say the name, right? They're gonna do routine is routine. Allah said to me, I'm gonna get up and do magram restricted.
So I'm going to prison and the day I get out of this world, we will have prepared for it. Now the whole thing is whether you prepared for now this is the big thing.
These people, a lot of people when they have a death in the family, and nobody really looks at it, like this alternative new way of looking at death and you look forward to death if you if you look at like this hopefully inshallah, you know, you have a death in the family, let's say for example, my mother passes away, or my mother passes away. That I think wow, you know, I think in it like look, look at the family now. Could No mother no one, no one here, the family is missing. And so it's a big it's a big tragedy. And she's lost her, you know, connection with her sons. She's lost connection with her husband and she lost connection with her brother, sister, whatever, and it was
crying and so on. What you don't know is that she has got a bigger family on the other side waiting for in early in if if her family members were good, then enter a lien, which has been discussed in the Quran in surah, moto 15, surah number 83. mainly in the bigger family, like let's say her mom, her dad, her granddad, her grandmother, her uncle's her aunts, all her cousins, all those cousins, cousins, all those ancestors that are going beyond before anyone or before if they ended early in their waiting for her once she goes there. She sees this a bigger family than what I left in the dunya. And it turns the whole of death around when you look at it like that. So when you wouldn't,
she's lost you and you've lost her. You got to understand that you're a small family here. You're a very small family here. And the biggest family you've got is inaccurate if you can make in the right place. So now deaf, tended to
his cell phone his head, I don't look at death the same way if you look at what is it another way to look at it
if my Quran connection is good, I've practiced in the Quran I've tried my best to do what the Quran says I've done my Salah I've done my father I've done the faculties of standing up being good to people I've been good to my neighbors I've been good to my you know to people who are close to me I'm gonna try not to hurt them are forgiven people I've tried to be kind to be generous to people. I've done my bit okay, sometimes I failed. Every human failed, but most of all, I've tried my best to keep connecting with the Quran.
You know what?
Soon as you go to the grave the biggest light in the grave is the Quran. maginnis biggest light friend, the biggest closest friend You Won't you won't find a better friend than the Quran. You won't find a better friend Salah hardy This tells us Salah will come will come as a person with neuron light to integrate code and will come
to say say da so how is to say da after these diffuse decoded Allahumma and is Russia t blucora now the alarm is Russia difficulty local call you they would say Oh Allah remove the fear that we might have in our in our graves through the Quran. Because the Quran is the only one that can give me that that companionship and is that make me some give me some good companionship from the fear that I will have to be alone in the grade. there on the Day of Judgment, the crown hold your hand.
The biggest friend you've got look there is a son one mile above your head the surah baqarah Surah olivenhain comes out of the Quran gives you a shade straightaway. This is the Quran is a friend straightaway it gives you a shade from the sun. Then the Quran holds your hand and if you if you practice the Quran, the Quran hold your hand according to the few Hadith and these are these are sound Hadith, the Quran hold your hand goes with you when your name comes. Your Quran takes you there. What is the quran quran is Allah. So allas word
takes you in front of a law that is your hisamitsu judgment. Then Allah azza wa jal says, oh seven, why did you do this? oh seven. Why didn't you do this or seven in the Quran speaks. The Quran says Allah. He was a good person.
He did this, he did that. He treated me well. He practiced me. He brought me in his life. He did his best. And the Hadith says the Quran is a lawyer.
And it's not just law, it's a very convincing lawyer. And the Qur'an will argue and argue and argue and say Oh Allah, Allah. No, no, no, no, no, no taking, I want him to go gym. I'm your word. I want him to go to gym. And it's a last word. I was doing this to demonstrate to us our connection to the Quran. And then the poor man wins the argument is Allah word his own word against it. The Quran wins the argument then the Quran holds the person and takes him to Gemma.
But if the if the person neglected the Quran, desert the Quran, the Quran stands up on the Day of Judgment. The plan comes and hold him from behind his neck and argues in front of Allah says no, this person neglected me, deserted me didn't practice me didn't do what I said. And then the Quran is the one that flunks hymns headlong into the fire. Now if I've prepared for my afterlife, think about that you all you people martial law, you prayed a shower in the masjid. You're going to pray further tomorrow morning. If you're doing your bit, whatever best to the best you can no one telling you to be perfect. If you're doing the best you can. And you read the Quran, you read this message
and you're trying to follow what it's saying. Then you look at beyond death. When you look beyond death.
You see light you see freedom. You see friend of the Quran, you see your your own Salah is going to be there on the day of judgment in the grave any snakes come Salah is going to save you protect you from the snakes that's in Hades. You see on the Day of Judgment, your your your closest people are the prophets so deep in the truthful runs Shahada Salah hain you look forward to meeting Rasulullah sallallahu you look forward to being in his company in the NBS company meeting a solid Salah moosari salaam, salaam, every Saturday, all the ambia one by one being the company. You look forward to being with them. I'm going to Jemez no mama, papa. No mama, papa. No brother, sister. No, no, no,
no. Your family, your family's different. You don't look at that as the family. You look at them as your family, your friends, your role models, the people who will save you. It's like if you're a young kid, right now, and you're in this hole, and you say Where's my mom? Where's my dad? My mom Mom, mom, dad, dad, dad.
Young kids, young kids, you can't see anyone who you recognize anyone who you recognize you go to them anyway you don't recognize you're going to be you're going to be frightened. And
people don't recognize mom and dad, people will run away from the moment that people run away from the brother and sister quando Quran in surah Salah said you may
be from your wife, you're running away from your husband you're on the go these are not new people you want to be with when you have that concept in your head, and the whole world is based around akhira my you know a lot I've kept a lot happy. I've done I've brought the sooner the Russell's in my in my life. I've practiced the Quran as best as I can you know what? Death is a release from your problems from the from the constraint of this world, then you come back to this world. Now, let me show you what's in this world. You're here, right?
Either your wife gives you trouble or your husband gives you trouble, right? Your children give you trouble you gave them everything you got, you gave them everything. And then there's some of them give you trouble. Right? You spent on someone and that one bites your hand. You help someone and those people don't appreciate it. You try and work all your life just to keep someone happy. And it's never enough, right?
You go through all of this, I'm not saying everyone's in this boat, but everyone has different kinds of problems. Right? Some people are problems of health, this that whatever it is, but you go through all of that. And then you know what? This is this dunya you look at it like that, that this is not true comfort and you look at I'm looking forward to go to my ohana to Wow, it is it is released from from this world necklace. Now look at that. Now. Now listen to what the prophets of Allah Islam says. Right? And this is for the people who are you know, people who are believers, people who are doing what they're supposed to do, right? So this is a decent kid, maybe it's got a good chain. And
the professor Lawson says in Abu Dhabi alum Henry's from Brazil awesome that he said his taxi ruzicka has been that the personal awesome said, you know, increase the amount of remembrance you have for the destroyer of your desires in this world. For in the human body is talking about death increase the amount of remembrance you have for the destroyer of desires, meaning that destroys desires in this world. For in the human record Ah, who if I didn't know who my rocker who I hadn't, for no person will remember death. At the moment when they feeling constraint in this world. Except that death the remembrance of death will bring them an expansion, it will release them. Why am I
while I record? Oh houfy Sati Illa de Cali and no person who's in let's say, for example, you're not let's say you you're comfortable. Let's say you Mashallah Alhamdulillah. You know, Allah has given you a comfortable lifestyle, humble, humble, and let's say you in that life, the process then says, you won't be in any great expansion and comfort of the world. Except when you remember death. It will wake you up again, it will constraint you and it will make you think, what am I doing?
I'm getting too comfortable in this world. And the automa have said, the love of this world is a disease.
The world is not a disease, the love of the world is a disease. And they've said that the antidote, the cure of that is to remember death.
Right? And this session today is is how the Quran makes us think about death. And how we in how it makes us see reality. Because the the Quran, you know, is amazed is amazed that people know people who deny who denied this quote and deny, you know, people who say Well, whatever, you know, whatever. Allah says, This is the Quran Surah Baqarah. So number two, and number 28, Allah says cave, una blah howdy you deny Allah, how, what quantum and what and you were dead before you lived.
He wakes you up it makes you think I had no existence. So that's the first thing Quran tells you is think you came from non existence into existence. Then Allah says he brought you into existence Summa you need to make your non existent again I'll show you that you're nothing so my you're here come and then I'll make you come to existence again. So death makes us die at the end of this life is going to die. Then after that is going to bring us back to life again. So my LA to john them to nobody else except for Allah you will return. Now the power of this of this part of the Quran is what? Allah didn't say so much to Jonah LA, then you're going to be returned to him. He didn't say
that. He said then to him You shall return meaning you got no other place to return. And all these kind of theories. You know, you got these theories about karma and theories about
what's that that's theory that you go into another body after you die
reincarnation
Yeah, there's no reincarnation. According to believe the Quran absolutely no reason can don't think you can end up anywhere else. And some people think, look, some people think you like actually one big stressor that comes to people, and it happens to believers as well. It's like, you know, I'm doing all of this here. Imagine I wake up here.
And it wasn't, you know, it wasn't the right thing.
I'm in the wrong place forever. We're gonna wake up my friend. Tell me if you wake up until this if you wake up, yeah.
And then you think, well, there's 3 billion Christians on the earth, maybe they will write to my wake up and all the Christians are, you know, making it to paradise? Well, I'm a Muslim, and I'm left behind. Right?
Right. You haven't studied the Quran or friend. You haven't said the Quran. You want to see what the Quran says about Israeli Salah. When a Salah Salah will be brought in front of Allah, Allah Allah will say, and Taku, Sally, Nancy, and Dakota? Did you Were you the one that said to people? It will take me and take to eternity Looney? What did you say? Oh, Jesus, did you say that? Take me and take my mother as to God's besides a lot. Did you say that? When Allah will ask that question isn't sort of my either. So number five, and number 116. Karla Sudha. luck, Maya Cooley and akula Malaysia. This is a solid seller, who will say you know subhanak sewaholic you know, you you are free from all
blank. And I'm telling you that there's no way I would be able to ever say this include to include to call to
service federal law, you know that to Alabama, Phoenix, you know, what's inside me? And I don't know what's in your exalted being, and so on. And he gives the answer saying that look, I never said that. This is even America, the leader Now the thing is, if you're a Muslim, you think well, I'm gonna wake up.
And I see that there's nothing there.
Tell me this year.
Would you rather like you know, when you're around, and Iran was doing his his his whatever the cruelty he was doing. And a man amongst his own counsel stood up.
And he's trying to get food out dour and he said to him, and this this breaks your, your, your whole concept of you know, what happens if any of this is wrong? What happens if you follow this lamb? We got to the end, and then the atheists were right, we get them the bones and be dead, gone. Right. So he said he says a wonderful thing.
He says to him, Well, Colorado aluminium in alysha Yakumo imana
this believing person said this is pseudo number 48 number 28. He says to fit around and he's constantly says Wayne yaku. Caliban Farley, he caribou. If Moses is saying a lie, then Moses lie will come to haunt him in the end. He's lying to us. That is accurate. He's lying to us. Let's suppose he's lying to us. There's no accurate Well, in the end when Moses dies, then Moses does not see an Acura. Okay, we don't see an Acura and he doesn't see an ACO. All right, we all die and finished with dead gone. Eyes never open again. Moses is dead. We're dead. He doesn't see Africa. We don't chakra Okay, fair and square. Then it says, we're in yaku Sadiq Khan, you simply combine
to come. But if Moses was telling the truth, we both die.
We both open our eyes.
And then Moses is telling the truth. Then this is the era then whatever he promised in the ark era is going to befall us.
We're in big trouble. Big trouble you guys you guys understand that? Right? is a very simple equation. What am I fully stronger if you wake up in the grave wrong? What do we what are
we talking about? This No, you know sometimes believers do have doubts. I understand that but you know what this put on when you study the Quran? Wow. The impact he has I tell you what impact he has. Right.
The Quran said this is in Surah.
This is this is in Surah number 62 ayah number six to eight. Allah azza wa jal said
put your head in a huddle do in Zam team and not only
doing Superman I will note Allah said
Tell them Omarosa, tell them, oh people who you know who are from the Jewish religion, the Jewish religion in the time of Muhammad, Allah, Allah said, Oh, you will be able to a Jewish people because they said, Look, ours is enough. We don't need to believe in Islam.
So Allah said it will if you think that you are the closest to God, let's say for example, one of those things that okay, I'm really close to God, I'm really close to God, that this will happen. If you're really close to a let's say, Ally's close to me, I feel I'm really close to Allah, I'm really really close to Allah, then Allah says this, but the men will know they
saw the T then say to Allah, Allah, I love you so much. I want you to send me the angel of death so that I can meet you
is Does that make sense? It doesn't make sense. If a guy is really close to Allah, and is feeling that you know, life life man you know it with these people? Yeah. Is it okay to say to Allah give me death?
No, no problem because you're going to be in a better place right? Then Allah says this, he says in Modena de una mean roofer in Turkey, come tell them on Warhammer tell them the very death that they are running away from tell them that death is gonna come and finally meet you somewhere.
It's gonna come I'm coming with you. Sumatra do not enter
the Tifa unit, my time alone. And then that then all of you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen the one who knows everything. And then he will tell you about the actions that you did. So how are you think about this? Ayah? how powerful it is like, what are you running to?
Like, think of it as a believer, as opposed to as a Muslim, right? What are you running to?
Where are you going to go? So let's just say for example, this is a test. This is the test to see whether I'm too attached this world if I had a real choice right now. And I could say to a law or law, let's say real choice, again, think about the two places I said right one is going from freedom life to prison, and the other one from prison to free life. One is going from this the constraints of this world to the openness of the market, another one is going from the comfort of this world to the constraint of the Act, okay, think about those examples I gave you. And then let me put the test. If I am, if I think I'm doing the right thing, then I should be able to raise my hand and say,
oh, Allah, you know, I don't want to I don't want to die. But I'm asking you that, you know, if the best time for me to die is nearby, the best time to just make me die. If you can say that, that means you're a good believer.
If you can't wish for death
in a good way, I'm not talking about committing suicide.
I don't want you know, a report saying tomorrow they were there were 10 people from the Edmonton mosque who have committed suicide apparently some shy Hasan Ali told them that they can get closer to God I don't want to start this you know, Kool Aid kind of thing. Okay. So I'm asking you look in a good way, just as a tester for me, if I've done the right thing, and I'm able to ask for debt, that means I'm in a good place with a lot and if I can't do that, that means I've got since I've got I'm worried about yes or no term trauma guys. That's what the Quran the Quran makes you think that what what am I running from? Am I running from death? Well, if I'm running away from death, and I
don't want to come to death, and that's my problem. In fact, do you know, let me tell you when you first start thinking of death, it scares you. And if you're not scared, then you're not thinking of death. Maybe you're thinking of adult
if somebody thinks of death first time, so what No, no, no, think about it seriously, what the Quran has said, the Quran is Surah number 79, beginning of suta 79 when nazjatar Soraka when he thought the national the Quran talks about a several angels coming at the time of death, they either going to pull and rip the soul out tear the soul out from the body, or they're going to gently pull it out
one of the two now if I'm thinking of death properly, and Alas, told him in the Holy Quran, so let me give you a few
parts of the Quran to think about what what is the reality of death. So if I'm thinking about the amaravati mode, this is the part of the Quran that talks about the talks about the pangs of death. So Allah says in Surah number six I number 93. Allah says, what are we taught or if you volley Muna here or Marathi mote, if only you would see the moment when the people who are being cruel, who are doing injustice, who are oppressing who are doing wrong, if only you saw the people who are doing wrong, if you saw them at the pangs of death.
When it comes to basketball ad him and the angels are all spreading out their hands to receive this person we do and for second, take yourself out from this body, and yoma to zona Robin Hood. Today you will be given the reward of a very tormenting or very disgraceful and
punishment that will put you down be makuta Poon Allah because of the things that used to say against Allah ladle hockey that will not true will come to mind is Milan, I used to be very proudly denying the verses of God. Think about that.
That the angels are opening their arms Now think about another one. Okay. Another one in Surah number Surah 23 is Surah Al moon
I am number 199 and 100 allows you that says either
mode when death comes to one of them. And the person says Robbie, Robbie Robbie, my lord is your own. Let me go back loudly our mellow salia FEMA doc to color he says perhaps or LA for surely I'll be able to do the good deeds that I wasn't able to do. I left them behind. Sorry my Lord give me a chance to go back Allah says color. Never Never in Kalimantan, who aka Aloha, this is just a statement that person is making at the time of death. While Meanwhile, him barossa couldn't lie to me via phone. And then behind them once they die, there is going to be a time that is called Balzac, between death and between the day of judgment and they will remain there in bozak, which is really
you know, CG those two places until they are resurrected for the day of judgment for either no if you have your story fella verbena, who me Oh, my eating mala is a Loon. Allah says once the horn has been blown into, then they will be no ancestry, no family members, no kinship, no kin ties, no connections of blood on the Day of Judgment. While law yet asylum, no one single family member will ever ask about another family member, how is you? Where is he on the day of judgment? imagine imagine,
not get the whole scenario in your mind. At the time of death. All these angels are surrounding me. I'm asking Allah for, you know, to go back. And that's it. I'm going straight one way this Allah says in the Holy Quran donousa Allah is the one, you're not going to go one minute, one second back, you're not going to go one second ahead. And now I've got to face the fact that no normal family left because you know the connection of my mother, you think about it that the connection of my mother and father was only temporary. I was a soul, she was a soul. Just imagine this is I'm a soul. She's a soul. She's in this world already.
I'm in another world as a soul. That allows which decides that he's going to pick me to become her son. I could have gone to any mother's room. But it takes me at four months.
My four months of her pregnancy at four months, so there's already fetus there. The room is bogged down by an angel according to hadith of Bokhari. It comes all the way down. So they've basically taken me all the way down. And then the angel comes, takes my son and then
he blows me into the fetus. So I'm like a in a tube.
I mean, the fetus right now, at four months, my soul is inside there. Now the connection that was made is You're the son, and she's the mother. So I come out of the womb
after another five months, then I'm the son, she's a mother, she loves me to bits. I love her to bits as well. But she loves me before she does everything which will do anything for me. Why? Because that Muhammad Allah was given by Allah as well. It's not, you know, you're not lucky guy to just get love like that. You know, this is the Quran Allah says some people think oh, yeah, my mom's gonna love me. No, no, no, no, no, some mums don't love the children.
You know, some mums will never give birth, they want to throw the baby away, or they don't want to see the baby again. It's a rare thing, but it does happen. Because when musala salamina when Allah was talking to sellers, and he said, Well, I'll try to alayka Mahabharata. And he said, Oh, don't forget the time when I put love into the hearts of your enemies that are gonna kill you.
Iran sorry, Iran said, What? No, sweet kid, sweet kid.
He didn't know what sweet kid This one's gonna be. He didn't know.
Fear around Iran. If he wanted to kill him, he couldn't kill him.
Because he loved this kid. For some reason. He just loved him. later on. He hated if you wanted to kill him. But when Allah puts in love that you
Constantly so so that moment when I was in my mother's womb, I became her son. She became a mother. I stayed. Maybe she stayed on the earth for another 50 years while I was alive, right? Okay, I got to whatever age he was at 50 she you know, she became 70 or 7550 she died. My connection has broken there. There's still some connection, because she goes into a lien or whatever it is. She might visit me my dreams or whatever. She still has a connection now when I die.
When I die, both of us go to sleep necessary. I was good. She was good. Both of those early. She's my mother. I'm her son. Everything's very good. I mean, my mother gave me my father gave me a good The sooner the day of judgment comes is that God cut cut all of his finished now she's now she's a soul. She's not my mom anymore. She's just another soul. And I'm a soul. You will my mum. And you will my son. But today there is no ancestry there's no connection there's no blood ties. There's nothing we don't belong to you just a soul. I got to live in your body that your body your soul today the body that you had, I came in there for months.
And I was a fetus I came in the fetus that that body and the fetus was in your body then the fetus came out of your body the fetus grew up to become a child and then an adult and and I was in my body who was not but as I said, a connection was there that I'm your son, you're my mom. That's it today. Nobody's gone your body's gone. I'm a soul your soul there's no connection.
So bahala brother gave a good example Subhana Allah I have to put this he said like a SIM card, you change the mobile Mashallah billion. Yeah. The Quran talks further. And the Quran tells us in Surah, waka
and you gotta you got to capture all of these different paths together and understand, Allah says, in the Holy Quran, surah number 56 ayah number 60 nanoka. The mountain woman newbie Miss boo ki, is Allah have written your death date, and you will never go beyond the time that I have set for you.
Nor are people you know what, you know, the birthday birthday. Oh, I'm seven years old. I'm eight years old. I'm 20 I'm 20 years old. I'm trying to birthday birthday. Birthday is something that this world knows. Death date is something that the next one knows. I've got a death date on me, which I can't see you can't see. That death date is there and that's fixed. Now, the good thing is the time of death can change. A lot of people don't know this, but the time of death, you can change it. You can actually change the time of your death. So let's say for example, it was fixed that you're going to get you know you're going to die let's say let's give a random date. Okay. 2027 2010 27 you're
going to die on April the ninth I don't want you guys to think oh my god, he's just Jinx my death. Right? I don't want you to think like that. Okay, so imagine Allah azza wa jal has written that a date for you, ninth of April 2027. And the exact time is going to be like 9:44am and 56.2 seconds, right? This person is going to be get right now what happens is the Quran has told us
this is in Surah number 35 ayah number 11. The Quran says mama you I'm
marrying
Kasumi Norma de la keytab no person is given an extra amount of life and no person has a deduction in their life. Except it is written in the book. So what's written in the book is if mean you do good actions on this earth and Allah likes it a lot then changes the death date. He says no, no, no, no, I want him to live longer. So I'm going to make you live till 2035
and the deaf take changes are 2029
loyalty promotion Mashallah brothers got the lyrics there. Marshall is good. Yeah. But if but if I'm being bad,
bad into good in two ways, bad in two ways. Good in the in terms of the ACA, the AMA do and good in terms of how I look after my body, if I'm looking after my body and so on, that can also make it increase bad in terms of the bad actions I do. Like if I'm if I'm not behaving from the bad actions, or if I'm like, you know, spoiling my lungs with drugs and cigarettes, and God knows what then this that will also have an effect it will have an effect in where your death date ends up so bad in terms of the Act, the amount and the actual document.
In terms of my health, Allah was changing the dates. Now if you want to live longer if you want to live longer than two corrections, do good actions be good because it is very very clear in the Quran and according to the Hadees that death date does change
analyzer can change it anytime he wants. And as a bonus for me if that if that is the case, but I don't know what that date is written for me. I want birthdays Come look, birthdays come. People get so you know, so excited that I'm this this much older. But you know, you're looking at the wrong end of the clock. You know, you have this sand. What are the other clocks that has suddenly What do you call them?
The sand timers is sometimes right into the sand time only turn it over. Then there's more sand at the top. There's less at the bottom. Yeah. Right.
What you're looking at is you're looking at the bottom.
You're thinking Wow, it just got bigger and bigger. And bigger bigger. doobie is also looking
in the sand timer is supposed to keep your eyes at the top, not the bottom. Because if you gain excited is getting more and more the bomb what's happening on the top is getting less and less. And once the last drop of sand goes. Oh, no more birthday.
Number birthday. Why do you mean celebrate all your birthday is all the law don't get this? What are you celebrating? what you're actually saying is and I know people get excited. Like, I'm not 25 I'm now 26 I'm not a lot of people get excited, right? But there's nothing to be excited about really. Because what you're trying to say is if you reverse it is like okay, well now let's say for example, I'm dying at 50. Let's just say for example, I'm dying at 50
and I become 20 years old. I'm like I'm 20 No, you've only got 30 left. I'm 25 Now you've only got 25 left, I'm 30 no you die, you got 20 only left. I'm 40 I'm 45 you're going to find that Mr. I'm 49 you're only one year closer to death. You're gonna be dead next year. I'm 52
if you change it around, you're losing time you're not gaining time. So the concept of death for a believer is absolutely necessary what the Quran says the Quran says cool lunasin the remote every single one of you will be tasting death everyone no one no one can escape this. In fact Allah said in the Holy Quran so Allah as we just said and this is this is for people who think that you know what, I'm gonna find a way to make myself live very, very long, right? In fact, Allah said already in the Holy Quran, let me just give you this. Let me just give you this is this in the 17th juice of the Quran.
Allah says one ma jannali Basha in comical hold, this is in Surah 21 and number Third Eye number 34. Allah says no human being ever before you was given an eternal life. Just think about it no human ever was given in turn life. And then Allah azza wa jal says in the Holy Quran
that when you win if you try and if you want to escape if you want to escape death, so what are you going to do? You're going to try and get into some place where death can get to you. So Allah says in the Holy Quran in surah number four IRA Number
and Number 78, a NEMA Taku UD C'mon mouth doesn't matter where you go death will find you well I'll come to fi Guruji macheda even if you were to make massive towers like Burj Khalifa
like you know, these biggest towels in the whole of the world, right? massive towers and law says Guru macheda it's proper it's become a fortress like you got a wall after wall after wall surrounding you. You probably got enough people when they get really rich and they got a house or something they create an escape room
you know, you know people get really rich they create one room in the house where it's called escape room. So what they do is they in that room you get inside you press a button the door shut and then you're safe in there for till the police come to you. You could be in there for days and days you got all your food in there you go you protect your toilets in there everything but they can't come inside this. inside this room. You guys under someone right? Say Yep, people create all sorts of things. Allah says you can build that even then death will come to you. In fact, Swan allows him I think Malcolm X said this Malcolm X he was told that, you know, be careful he was he was taught Be
careful. You know?
You're probably going to go down this way. So don't go this way, go that way. Be careful because I wanted to kill him. So Malcolm X said a very instead of wonderful thing, he said, If a man has a choice of going down five lanes, if a man has a choice of going down five different lanes, and he says, You know what, I think death is in this one. And he avoided and he goes down this one. He said, if it's the time of death, you're gonna find it in this one, he's gonna be waiting for you at the end. So it doesn't matter whose pathway you take at the end of it, you're gonna find the death waiting for you there. So what's the point of you trying to make all these plans to escape death
when the time of death comes, you know, die anyway.
Now, some of you sitting there gonna be thinking, whoa,
shake. I don't want to die. I
don't want to die. Yeah.
So some people are dying now. So voila, you 72 are waiting for you. That if you want to go and take it easier.
The thing is, look, if you think you will, I don't want to die right now.
What you got to think of is that mote is going to come in two colors, it's going to come two colors, either complete bright white, or is going to come in complete darkness. black, dark, or white. Now, some of you might think, well, that's racist. It's not racist. In this in this world, we have skin colors that are black, white, brown, yellow, pink, whatever you want to say, yeah. You call these colors, and then we get racist. I'm white, I'm above you. You're black, you're on black, and you'd be racist to me and all that kind of stuff. Right? If you're a black person in this world, anything Why is it that the Angel of Death comes horribly in black, Jonathan's fire is black. And the people
on the Day of Judgment, if they're done wrong, they're black faces. And why is it on the other? If you don't if you do, right, the Angel of Death is white. The faces of the dead doesn't mean they've done good. Good is white. Jana is white. You guys understand? That sounds racist, right? No,
it's not racist. Why? Because when a white man is sinful in this world, he comes up on the on the day of judgment as a black man.
I'll be honest with you, when a black man is good on this earth, He comes up on the day of judgment as a white man.
This is serious. so old, colors brown, black, white, pink, yellow, whatever, if you're good, there's only one color white for you. And if you're bad, whether you brown, black, white, pink, whatnot, when you come into their judgment, you're doing bad, you're black.
And that's how Allah is gonna keep you on the dead gentlemen. In fact, he's not going to be just black is Allah Subhan Allah. He said, that it's as if the darkest part of the night has been smited on to their faces. The darkest part of the night has been smited onto the faces. Let me give you the the verse for this isn't the 11th juice.
All right, so this is Surah number 10. And number 27 kanima over Shia Whoo hoo Koopa Amina layli muslimah the darkest night you can find the dark like you can barely can see and you can't see anything. You can't see your finger you can't see anything. That's the color Allah will give all sinners and all deniers and all people who denied dismantle all of them will have the same color. And if you've been good that allows original has said in the Holy Quran, yo Ma, boo. What does what do we do? There's going to be
there's going to be bright faces. In fact, another another one I'll give you from sort of karma which is
in the 29th juice of the of the Quran, Allah azza wa jal says would you know my 11 now, lira, the day when faces will be absolutely delighted. Illa are behind now, lira to the Lord, they're going to be looking and this is you know, there's going to be complete bliss and so on. This is number 75. I am number 2022 and 23. Anyway, the thing is, you're thinking well, you know, this whole thing I said write about about angels angels are gonna come either white bright, or they're gonna come black as dark as black as you've ever seen.
So if you're scared to die right now, you need to start thinking if I'm good, then I'm looking forward to white angels coming to me at the time of my death.
If I'm if I'm doing random October, the biggest thing you will do is just update your Toba when you've heard my this, you know what I'm talking about 10 minutes later, when you've heard what I've said you update your Toba. you upgrade Look, I'm gonna do my best not to sit again. I'm gonna do my best to follow you. That's your date your Toba is updated and carry on seeking forgiveness for whatever you've done wrong, then you do your best to be a good Muslim.
If I'm a good Muslim that at the time of death is going to be all right angels 500 white angels come to me. I'm trying to take not what's bad about that.
I thought if I'm not updating my Toba if I'm still singing, then I'm going to think there's 500 black dogs
Now listen, this is why death is an antidote because if you think of death oh my god I'm not doing the right thing death gonna come to me and it's going to take me out of this body and they're going to be dark and what did the Quran say if they come black right then you you've got a different scenario so let's talk about if they come as white what happens to you if they come as white? Because their solar cell Allison was asked about the believers death. And he said the belief is death is like you know, when you have a jug imagine you have a jug
a beautiful example the process of gave a beautiful example I think, wow, this is why Allah made him the Prophet this. This is like ye revelation. Think, how can you think of a better example Look, he said, when you take a jug, and you pour something, and then you tilt the jug back straight, you put it straight. There's a small grump at the end of the spout of the junk. That smalls drop moves slowly towards the belly of the jargon and he goes all
the way down to the bottom very smoothly yes or no guys? very delicately and smoothly. If you don't watch it, you don't even realize that that little robot all the way down. He said that's how delicately Angel of Death will take your soul out of your body.
Wow. Now if I'm being good, I imagine that's me inshallah. inshallah. As you should think, if you would be doing good, you know, have a good thought about the beat. In fact, the bruxism said, he said, Let not one of you die except having good thoughts about Allah, like, always have good thoughts about Allah, like, you know, I'm doing my best. I've renewed my Toba. What else am I supposed to do? Okay, I messed up. I said, whatever. But I'm doing it better when I'm back trying to do the best I can imagine. That's how delicately they will take out. And he gave he gave an example of a of a bad soul in the same Hadeeth vironment. He said, He's like, he said, Have you been to a
thornybush where piece of string has got tied in, in that thorny bush all over? You trying to get the string out of the phony Bush, you can't get it out. The only way to get the string out is to rip the whole string with all the thorns, rip it out. That's how you're going to do and that's how the Angel of Death takes out the bad souls if there's 500 black angels that come now, what did they put and say?
The Quran spokes it spoke about a very harsh death for those people who haven't prepared for the afterlife when it comes to their death. And it says this is in Surah Surah Mohammed surah number 47.
I a number 27 license for kayfabe era tawaf Futterman mela icca so what will their situation be? When the angels come to take the souls out of their bodies Yogi buena would you have more advice from the angels will come with with metal hammers, these are metal hammers we don't see these are metal hammers that are invisible. These are metal hammers that can strike the soul. They will brush first the back, that one's bottom they'll patch that so the soul comes out a little bit out. It always comes out through the mouth. So it comes out a little bit out in another angle smack it and smash it with another hammer this way and smash it back inside. Another one is smashing from behind
from from my back and out another smashes from there then back in and back from there yet the Buddha will do a bang bang bang bang bang bang
now if you go through that and you think that if I'm doing bad my god these angels and you know these angels they have no mercy
that if you think you're in front of anyone this will accrue this guy what have you still can get some way through like I've seen people like you know, they'd be stuck in airports that passports not right the visa is not there that this that document is not there, then the standard but they don't want to be deported. So please, please, please
even if there's a priest I want to seek asylum I want to do this please if I go back they're gonna beat me they're gonna hurt me. I've got people there you go Civil War, they the people are dying the airport and they'll do their absolute best to beg them to cry to whatever an Indian you know what even the most hard hearted immigrant officer sometimes they feel sorry for these guys. Okay, look, okay. I'll keep you in a detention center for three months, whatever, I'll put you in a camp for three months. I'll put you in the zone. We've got all the other, you know, migrants there. Okay, I'm gonna leave you there.
They have some kind of mercy with the Angel of Death there is absolutely no mercy. There's no begging there's no crying. There's nothing. Only one that can release me can release us allows a widow. Now, when I go through this, and I think Wow, that's a reality. Actually one thing that you guys have been hearing me for the last 50 minutes do you actually feel right now the love of the world? Tell me right now do you feel the love of the Yes or no?
nakota do you guys feel the love of the world right now? Yes or no? Tell me how you feel right now. Oh, yeah, I love it. This guy's talking about man. Now talking about her, or do you actually feel that there's a concept of this is so real. This is going to happen to me either. I'm going to see white angels taking me out just like that drop falling down down the spout of the junk. Or I'm going to be tapped out beaten. Do you actually feel that right now? Yes or no? Yes. That's the decode mode. When you do that, you know what this when you look around you think this is nothing
after that when you hear let's say you know someone you know nagging behind your summons. You hear this problem that problem? You know what these problems are much smaller than my big problem. Yes or no guys? Is that's why some of the sellers aren't going to be very honest with you. That's why some of the seller they cried the whole night thinking about death.
Imagine how we get excited like we get excited when we have one or two tears
like some brother in law we he cries
right? And then after that he kind of feels that he's intergender
like some broth, okay, you don't Well, you don't you cry there's some some guy after Juma when there's a very emotional lecture when there's some kind of draw something people get in all those especially when people go to the hot arm or something and moms who draw the covers the people get emotional they cry
so the few tears
I know it's a lot free but there's only a few tears the pious and righteous people in the past and I'm not making this up there are hundreds of accounts of these people who cried and cried and cried just thinking what's going to happen to them even though they would do a very good even though they will do all the armor lifting as Do they still cried our mother I shuffled the alarm on her you know different different Sahaba different iots that when they read those is the trade fight someone they remember their judgment someone they remembered the bridge okay somebody remember death so for example
if not bus for the alarm on Haha, he's to cry, they said that he would cry all night on this one verse.
This is a Surah Rahman he would he would recite this verse in his tahajjud.
So these verses of
surah number 55 I am number 37. For even shapcott is
for granite wall that I get
when the whole sky will split
and it will become like pink or will become colored like the color of the you have an oily type of color.
Fabric A and
B Kuma to get the band so which one of the gifts that your Lord gave you throughout your entire life? Which one of those are you denying? For you may even use
me
on that day, on that day, no human being no jinn,
none of them will will be in a way in a situation where they won't be thinking about their own sins that they've done. No, the biggest worry on that day is going to be you know before you come to Allah azza wa jal What is my questioning and be like what is a login asked me from all the things I did in India. What is it going to ask me? And am I gonna fail in front of Allah azza wa jal or am I gonna pass he will spend the whole night crying when he would reach these verses. They say about our mother eyeshadow de la Juana. There's an ayah in Surah memoriam that she came across as she would come across and she would cry all night. All I might imagine this right, crying and crying and
crying and crying and just standing in front of her and just crying
over and over and over again. So this is an ayah
Surah
Maryam surah number 19 ayah number 71. What?
Come in
Ghana
Because
not all the
every one of you will pass by will come down to the place where you have to get on to the bridge to cross over jahannam and get to Geneva, every one of you will have to come down. It's like, you know, when you let's say, for example, you don't want to the big bridge, right? Sometimes you have to come down to the mouth of the bridge, then you have to get up and cross the hole of the bridge and go to the other side of the bottom. And then you get to your destination where you want to get to. So when you come down normally, like in a bridge where this crossing water, this is water, there are laws of the law said when you get down to the miles of the bridge, there's jahannam that is actually the
fire of hell. So you come in close to the fire of hell having to get onto the bridge, and then climb the bridge to get to Jenna, when she would recite this verse and remember that time she would just cry and cry and cry and cry. Well, Samantha Delano, he would come to the grave when he came to great to visit the graves. He would cry cry, Dylan's whole beard is wet. And he would do this again and again. And somebody said to him, why are you crying like that you cry so much when it comes to graves. Why is that? He said this is the first station after the dunya. This grave is the first station of dunya. If this station is good, if I'm good in my grave, then every station after that in
Li going to dev Jasmine going over the bridge going to Jan every station is going to be easy. But if this first station goes bad, then all of them are going to be bad after that. That's why he cried so much. Now, the reason why I've chosen this particular subject for today, which is the remembrance of, of death, is because you know, you know I'm going to say this one last ayah and then and then I'm going to summarize the whole thing. This ayah tells us this Subhanallah you know when people don't think about death, your heart, our hearts become hard. When you don't think about death, the heart becomes hard, and then you become a sinner.
If you think about death, the heart becomes soft, then you can't sin. Okay, this is the Quran.
This is the 27th Jews of the Quran in surah al Hadid
Allah azza wa jal has said and this I am going to say and then we finished this number 57 is number 16. Allah says lm ne Lina M and o
the shower pulu me Vicodin, a woman as elemental hopko. Allah says hasn't the time come for the believers that the hearts should soften to the remembrance of Allah and it should soften to the Revelation the truths that are revealed the Quranic revealed revealed hasn't the time come for the believers hearts to soften to my remembers to the Quran. While a coup de una una kita Baba Nova por la la, la casa boo boom, hasn't the time come that they that these believers should not become like the people of the past? Who I gave him the book, I gave them the book, I gave them the Torah, I gave him the gene, then Allah, life was given to them because we know from our sources that the Strider
had long lives, but Israel had sometimes they should live up to 300 years. Sometimes they should live long live longer than us.
The lives were long for kosaku boom, then the hearts became hard work Kathy Roman home fantasycon and many of them became sinners. When life you think when I think that my life is gonna be long and death is not in the seed. I'm not thinking our death. That's the moment that you can enjoy sin.
Can you enjoy sin, if the Angel of Death is sitting there watching you
imagine imagine this from sitting here. Now we love doing something wrong here. Angel of Death is just there to check and see him he's sitting there. He's he's watching me in his eyes. And I'm like, Okay, I'm just gonna carry on. I'm not gonna carry on. I'm gonna carry on. Lie, Lie Lie just like some guy asked a chef as a chef. He said if I'm being Salah in the desert.
And if a lion if a lion passes in front of me, is my Salah gonna be broken? He said if you still have to do that, don't
do that. No.
