Kamil Ahmad – Short Reminder about Death

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

And then whoever is scared from the hellfire

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

and admitted into

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

Jannah, he is the victorious one. He has

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

won.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

That's it.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

With this, you come to the finish line.

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

You're at the end.

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

And then it's either one of 2 distinctions.

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

If you're spared from 1, then you're gonna

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

enter the other.

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

However,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

the duniya

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

and the enjoyment of the duniya

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

is nothing but

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

a deceiving kind of improvement.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

And so the question is not

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

if

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

we're gonna meet this fate,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

we are all gonna meet it one day

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

or the other.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

It's only a question of how and when.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

When

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

that's not in our hands.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

It's not in my hands nor is it

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

in your hands.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

And just because the likes of my father

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

lived in a long life, it doesn't mean

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

that each and every single one of us

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

is gonna be guaranteed that.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

He didn't know that he would live until

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

this age.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

When is not in our hands?

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

If that's a definite.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

But what you do have in your hands

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

is how.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

In what state are you gonna be? Allah,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

this Allah has given

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

to

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

you? Allah has given you freedom to choose

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

that faith, that destination,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

that faith.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

How are you gonna leave a lost child

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

with Adam? Are you gonna meet him

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

in a state in which he is pleased

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

with

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

and you are pleased with?

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

Or are you gonna meet meet him in

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

a state in which he's not pleased with

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

you, nor do you want to meet him?

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

And so this is what each and every

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

single one of us needs to prepare for.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

And times like this should be a reminder

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

of that.

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

Times like this,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

they need to be a reminder

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

of that eventual reality.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

Because we live in this dunya

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

coming sooner rather than later.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

And it's gonna come at a time when

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

we're least expecting it.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

And so the time is ticking.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

Slowly but surely,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

we're all gonna meet this fate,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

and so let us prepare for it from

00:03:36 --> 00:03:36

now

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

And not

00:03:38 --> 00:03:38

doing

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

and prepare for it.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

Finally, I'd just like to ask

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

my brother-in-law to come and see if you

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

work today, and we'll

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

get going with your gymnastics.
