Your slate Lancome. Lancome. Well Wolfie lekin Zulu back home

00:01:06--> 00:01:12

warming up I love her was who we love who called the affairs after who then we

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

another about

00:01:16--> 00:01:22

the world in which we live in this present world is a material world

00:01:23--> 00:01:26

with all of its pleasures and enjoyment.

00:01:28--> 00:01:34

However, most people, they're deluded by it. They're deceived by not realizing

00:01:35--> 00:01:41

that this material world and its enjoyment and its pleasures,

00:01:42--> 00:01:51

will one day suddenly come to an end. And so that happens. That happens when our soul leaves our body.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

And so when that happens,

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

we leave this present material world.

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

But we don't leave it.

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

We don't leave it

00:02:10--> 00:02:16

to enter into nothingness. But rather we leave it to enter into another world

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

that is different from this world.

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

And that is the world of the Barossa.

00:02:27--> 00:02:27

And so

00:02:28--> 00:02:34

the world of the unseen, the world of the hype is a real world.

00:02:35--> 00:02:48

Unlike this present material world. And we know that it's real, not because anyone alive has seen it. Nor because science has somehow discovered it.

00:02:49--> 00:03:06

But rather we know of its reality. Because a saw the call must do sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the truthful one who never ever told a lie in his life. He is the one who told us about it.

00:03:08--> 00:03:21

And so what exactly happens? What exactly happens when we depart this world to enter into the world of the Barossa? First and foremost,

00:03:22--> 00:03:31

when a person dies, he becomes exposed to what was hidden from him in this present world.

00:03:32--> 00:03:35

And so just like when you are asleep,

00:03:37--> 00:03:43

and you wake up from your sleep, you did not know what was going on around you until you wake up.

00:03:45--> 00:03:46

Just like someone in a coma.

00:03:48--> 00:03:52

Or someone who goes unconscious, or he's drugged.

00:03:53--> 00:03:58

And he doesn't have any sensors. And he doesn't know what's going on around him.

00:04:00--> 00:04:03

He only comes to know when he wakes up.

00:04:05--> 00:04:10

And so the reality is that right now, most of us are asleep

00:04:11--> 00:04:18

and will only come to wake up when it's too late. And that is when we leave this world.

00:04:20--> 00:04:29

And we enter into that into that world. As Allah subhanahu wa Tada says, what Jack Sacra told him it will help

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

them become Quinta mean who to heat

00:04:34--> 00:04:43

and the horrors and the pains of death are real and they're going to come and that is what you try to evade.

00:04:44--> 00:04:50

And then later on Allah subhanahu Attallah says, not quite the content, you have to let him in had

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

you are in a state of a heedlessness about this, about this day the day of judgment. You are here

00:05:00--> 00:05:06

less about it, leaving your life having forgotten about this reality

00:05:07--> 00:05:13

for Kashif now uncover Utah, UK, for Basu, Cal, yomo Hadid.

00:05:14--> 00:05:21

And so on that day, Allah says, We will lift the veil from your site, from your eyes.

00:05:22--> 00:05:25

And so on this day, your site will be sharp.

00:05:26--> 00:05:34

And so what that means is that in this present world, we live in heedlessness,

00:05:35--> 00:05:40

we live in heedlessness, we have a veil over our eyes,

00:05:41--> 00:05:46

preventing us from being conscious about life after death.

00:05:47--> 00:05:56

And for some that Ville will never be lifted, until it's too late. Until the day of judgment, the very first thing

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

the very first thing that we will come to realize

00:06:02--> 00:06:03

is that time is up.

00:06:05--> 00:06:14

And so time as we know it, in its seconds in its minutes. In its days in its months in it's yours.

00:06:16--> 00:06:18

We recognize time

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

we measure it, we calculate it.

00:06:23--> 00:06:28

When a person departs from this world, there is no more meaning to time as we know it.

00:06:30--> 00:06:33

There is no more meaning to time as we know it.

00:06:34--> 00:06:47

Because from then onwards, it's a life of eternity. not measured by time, not calculated by time as we know it, even if it be centuries or millennia.

00:06:49--> 00:06:54

It's perpetual, it's never ending. And so today we have time,

00:06:56--> 00:06:59

but that time is quickly running out.

00:07:01--> 00:07:02

So the clock is ticking.

00:07:04--> 00:07:05

At that time,

00:07:07--> 00:07:11

when we have departed from this world, we will be one of two people.

00:07:12--> 00:07:24

We will be one of two people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Men had belly or Allah or Habibollah Holika

00:07:25--> 00:07:26

the whoever

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

loves to meet his Lord.

00:07:32--> 00:07:34

Then Allah loves to meet him.

00:07:35--> 00:07:40

Woman Katie hellicar A WA he Katie Hello Leo, Cara

00:07:41--> 00:07:49

and whoever dislikes and doesn't want to meet Allah, then Allah also doesn't want to meet that person.

00:07:51--> 00:07:54

At that time, you will be

00:07:55--> 00:07:56

either one of two people.

00:07:58--> 00:07:59

Either one

00:08:02--> 00:08:03

who is in a prison.

00:08:05--> 00:08:10

And now he becomes free to enjoy himself. Or

00:08:12--> 00:08:15

one who was already free, enjoying himself

00:08:17--> 00:08:18

and now he's going to be shackled

00:08:19--> 00:08:24

and and be taken to prison. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

00:08:26--> 00:08:28

Al kabru Roll the two men riobel Jenna

00:08:30--> 00:08:33

Well, he'll forgotten our health rotten men who have dinar

00:08:35--> 00:08:36

that the grave

00:08:37--> 00:08:40

it is either a garden from the gardens of Jana

00:08:42--> 00:08:46

or it is a pit from the pits of the Hellfire.

00:08:47--> 00:08:49

Secondly, we have several Hadith

00:08:51--> 00:08:53

in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:08:55--> 00:08:57

explained to us in detail

00:08:58--> 00:09:14

exactly what goes on in the grave. From the time a person departs from this world, from the time his soul departs from his body, until the time that Allah will resurrect you from your grave.

00:09:16--> 00:09:23

And so, among that which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us is that after you are buried,

00:09:24--> 00:09:30

and your relatives and your loved ones and your friends leave you there having buried you.

00:09:32--> 00:09:34

You can hear their footsteps as they walk away.

00:09:35--> 00:09:41

And then, once you're all alone, two angels they come to you.

00:09:42--> 00:09:49

And they sit you up. And they ask you three questions. They ask you, Who was your Lord?

00:09:50--> 00:09:58

What was your religion? And Who was this man among you in other narrations? Who was your profit?

00:09:59--> 00:10:00

So the profits

00:10:00--> 00:10:01

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us

00:10:03--> 00:10:19

that the believer will respond positively. He'll answer each of these questions correctly. Not because he had knowledge of it, theoretical knowledge only, but because he had knowledge of it. And he put that knowledge into practice.

00:10:22--> 00:10:23

On the other hand,

00:10:26--> 00:10:32

the disbeliever, and the hypocrites and the fragile, the wicked person,

00:10:33--> 00:10:46

he won't be able to answer these questions, even if he knew, even if he knew them. And he knew their answers, theoretically. Why? Because he didn't act by them.

00:10:47--> 00:10:52

So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that as for the believer,

00:10:54--> 00:11:01

once he answered correctly, a window will open up for him, and he will see his place in Jannah.

00:11:03--> 00:11:06

And he'll start receiving some of its rewards.

00:11:07--> 00:11:14

He'll smell some of its fragrance. He'll be clothes and he'll be clothed in some of its clothing.

00:11:17--> 00:11:24

As for the one who is destined for the hellfire, a window will be opened up for him showing his place in the hellfire.

00:11:27--> 00:11:29

And some of its heat,

00:11:30--> 00:11:31

and some of its punishment

00:11:33--> 00:11:50

will reach him while he is in his grave. Rosemary Radi Allahu Anhu he says that whenever the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would finish burying a dead person, he would stand over his grave

00:11:51--> 00:11:56

and he would address his companions and he would tell them,

00:11:57--> 00:11:59

seek forgiveness for your brother right now.

00:12:00--> 00:12:07

And ask Allah to keep him firm right now, because he is about to be questioned.

00:12:09--> 00:12:10

On that day,

00:12:11--> 00:12:15

on that first night, Allah subhanahu wa taharah

00:12:16--> 00:12:18

keeps the believers firm

00:12:20--> 00:12:31

and steadfast and He grants them strength. You said Beto will lead ina M and who will be how will it be to feel hayati dunya waffle era

a wall keeps firm those who believe with the firm word that Kelly might have a toe heaved with their Eman. Allah keep some firm fill higher dunya in this life, as well as fill out euro in the euro in the Hereafter. And the scholars of tfcu they say what this refers to is that first night when you're in your grave, and the two angels come to you and they ask you these questions, Allah subhanahu Attallah keeps you firm and grant you strength

00:13:09--> 00:13:12

because of your Eman

00:13:13--> 00:13:36

Morrow,

00:15:01--> 00:15:03

meaning for his akhira

00:15:05--> 00:15:06

My dear brothers and sisters

00:15:11--> 00:15:15

100 years from now, each and every single one of us,

00:15:18--> 00:15:19

will no longer be here.

00:15:22--> 00:15:25

Each and every single one of us, along with our loved ones

00:15:28--> 00:15:32

will not be on the surface of the Earth, but rather below the surface of the earth.

00:15:34--> 00:15:43

We will be in our graves, and our eternal fate will have become crystal clear before our eyes.

00:15:45--> 00:15:47

100 years from now,

00:15:49--> 00:15:52

whatever we have left behind in this dunya

00:15:53--> 00:15:58

our houses that we work so hard to build

00:16:00--> 00:16:10

will be resided in by strangers, our businesses will be owned and run by others.

00:16:12--> 00:16:13

100 years from now,

00:16:15--> 00:16:19

our names and our looks

00:16:20--> 00:16:23

will be for forever forgotten.

00:16:25--> 00:16:27

No one will remember us.

00:16:29--> 00:16:30

How many of us

00:16:31--> 00:16:34

today remember our great grandparents?

00:16:35--> 00:16:36

barely anyone?

00:16:42--> 00:16:42

And so why is it?

00:16:44--> 00:16:49

Why is it that we spend so much time concerned

00:16:50--> 00:16:52

about how others look at us?

00:16:54--> 00:16:57

And we forget about how Allah looks at us.

00:16:58--> 00:17:01

Why is it that we busy our lives concerned

00:17:03--> 00:17:08

about our wealth, about our possessions about our properties.

00:17:10--> 00:17:18

When 100 years from now, in our graves, none of that will be of any concern to us.

00:17:19--> 00:17:21

Our existence.

00:17:22--> 00:17:28

Our existence in this life is nothing but the passing of a few moments.

00:17:30--> 00:17:36

It's nothing but the passing of a few moments in the grand scheme of things.

00:17:39--> 00:17:41

10s of hundreds of generations

00:17:44--> 00:17:53

have already passed behind us. Likewise 10s of hundreds of generations will come after us.

00:17:57--> 00:17:59

Your life on this earth

00:18:00--> 00:18:11

is nothing but the passing of a few moments. From the time Allah created Adam until the last man to walk the face of the earth. Ask yourself

00:18:14--> 00:18:20

what is your existence in that span of time, except nothing but a few moments

00:18:21--> 00:18:25

in the darkness and in the loneliness of our graves.

00:18:27--> 00:18:33

We will come to realize how worthless this dunya was that we chased after

00:18:35--> 00:18:47

all our lives. And we would wish that we had instead spent our lives planting the seeds for our next life.

00:18:49--> 00:18:54

Especially certain good deeds like a soda cartel jariya

00:18:55--> 00:19:05

perpetual continuous charity why because that benefits you when you're in your grave. And that's why Allah subhanahu wa taala says

00:19:06--> 00:19:07

we're un*able

00:19:09--> 00:19:10

may Melrose Akane

00:19:11--> 00:19:23

may cobbly at a Hadouken cool mo to fire cooler Rob Biloela cortini ila Jalen Caribbean for all sadaqa our communal solid him

00:19:25--> 00:19:27

and spend out of what We have granted you

00:19:29--> 00:19:36

before a time comes when death comes to one of you. And he says yeah, Rob, delete it for me delay this death for me.

00:19:38--> 00:19:39

So that I could go back

00:19:41--> 00:19:59

and spend and give in some soda and be one of the righteous. The Scholars say why is it that Allah mentioned sadaqa out of all of the good deeds, because when you're in your grave, you see the fruits of your sadaqa more than anything else.

00:20:01--> 00:20:19

In the loneliness and the darkness of our graves, we will come to realize how true the words of Allah were. When the loss of Hannah who went to Allah said had either whom will go to Ghana Rob big rune, now Lee, Emmylou Saleh and FEMA to rock

00:20:24--> 00:20:26

until when death comes to one of them

00:20:28--> 00:20:31

until when death comes to one of them and he says, Yeah, Rob

00:20:33--> 00:20:36

perhaps you can send me back. Give me one more chance

00:20:38--> 00:20:40

so that I could go back

00:20:41--> 00:20:55

and do some good deeds. Color in Kelly Martin who are called Iroha will mean Worre II him Barza Juan Isla yo me up attune. Allah says no, it's too late.

00:20:56--> 00:21:00

It's merely a word that he utters a wish that he makes

00:21:02--> 00:21:03

that has no reality to it.

00:21:05--> 00:21:16

And Allah says, and between them and the dunya is a bar is a barrier that will be placed there forever until the day that they are resurrected.

00:21:17--> 00:21:35

My dear brothers and sisters, has a time not come for us to wake up from our heedlessness has the time not come for us to realize that the way in which we are living our lives in the disobedience of Allah and this heedlessness.

00:21:36--> 00:21:37

It's not worth it.

00:21:39--> 00:21:48

And soon it will come to haunt us sooner than we think. Call in Alma will tell Edita if you're rude. I mean,

00:21:49--> 00:21:57

call in NL mo Tillery. To feel ruined. I mean Hoover in no moolah, key come say to them Oh Mohamed,

00:21:58--> 00:22:10

that this death that you try to run away from, that you're constantly trying to evade and escape from, it will eventually come and catch up to you.

00:22:11--> 00:22:15

Each and every single one of us lives day in and day out.

00:22:16--> 00:22:26

Trying to escape death. What Allah tells us, no matter how long you live for, death will come and catch up to you.

00:22:27--> 00:22:31

And then after that, you will be returned to Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:22:32--> 00:22:34

who will inform you of what you used to do.

00:22:35--> 00:22:39

We live in this life stuck in a vicious cycle.

00:22:41--> 00:22:43

We wake up in the morning,

00:22:44--> 00:22:49

and enter into our daily routine. And before we know it, the day is over.

00:22:51--> 00:22:52

We start the week.

00:22:53--> 00:22:57

And before we know it, it's Friday and the end the week is over.

00:22:59--> 00:23:05

Like this, we live day to day, week to week, month to month,

00:23:06--> 00:23:08

year to year not realizing

00:23:10--> 00:23:19

that all of this will come to an end at a time at a time when we least expect it

00:23:21--> 00:23:23

at a time when none of us

00:23:24--> 00:23:46

will anticipate it when none of us will have any time to prepare for it. So why is it that we are delaying? Why is it that we are delaying our devotion to Allah and returning to Allah in repentance for a time that may never come?

00:23:48--> 00:23:51

And so you still have a chance the past is behind you.

00:23:53--> 00:23:55

The future is not in your hands.

00:23:57--> 00:23:58

But what is in your hands?

00:24:00--> 00:24:01

Is your present

00:24:02--> 00:24:03

is today.

00:24:04--> 00:24:12

Turn back to Allah subhanahu wa Tada with a sincere and repentant heart and change your life.

00:24:13--> 00:24:15

Before it's too late.

00:24:16--> 00:24:32
