My brothers and sisters, we make dua for
our brother
Allah grant him
may Allah
fear his cover with noor. May Allah give
to his family. I
saw him in the hospital also and
this is the only certainty in life
which is death.
Everything else is uncertain.
When we are born, whether we will be
healthy or wealthy, we don't know. Whether we
will be educated or ignorant, we don't know.
Whether we will be happy or sad, we
don't know. Whether we get married
or not, we don't know. Whether the marriage
will be good or bad, we don't know.
Nothing we know.
The only thing we know is
Every
single thing which has life will die.
And Allah said, And your real rewards, the
true rewards, the complete rewards you will get.
We ask that for our brother Abu
Radib. We ask that for all our elders
and youngsters who have passed away, and we
ask this for ourselves also. When we go
to Allah,
we ask Allah to reward us in keeping
with his majesty and grace and in keeping
with his forgiveness,
not in keeping with our actions.
Because if we cannot stand before Allah with
our action, nobody.
Rasool Allah himself, he said, we will enter
Jannah by the Rahma of Allah, by the
Makfirah of Allah.
They asked him, Rasulullah, even you, he said,
even I.
I remind myself of you.
Alexander the great.
Four four names. I will tell you Alexander,
the great
rule over a kingdom, which was 1,100,000
square miles.
The Roman Empire at its peak
had an area of 3,500,000
square miles.
So we call Alexander the Great, but the
Roman Empire was 3 times that size.
The Man Umayyad
ruled over an empire
at their peak which was 5,500,000
square miles
Almost double the size of the Roman Empire.
In the Vanuvar's time, there was no expansion.
There was a lot of,
knowledge and learning and strategy development, but
territorial expansion was in the time of.
But Genghis Khan
alone ruled over an empire of 13,500,000
square miles.
The empire of Chengis was
4 times 5 times the size of the
Roman empire.
Almost 3 times the size of the Muslim
empire.
It was 12 times the size of
the empire of Alexander the Great.
But think about this.
There's a man called John Mann. His name
is John Mann. Amen.
Read his book. His book is called Genghis.
When he was writing the book, he wrote
a biography of Genghis Khan. Many people wrote,
but this is a very nice one.
He also wrote incidentally one of Saladin
Ayubi.
Very interesting. Very, very good book.
So John Mann wrote his book. The biography
of Genghis Khan. He's called it Genghis.
He says he went to settle Mongolia, which
was where
Karakoram,
which was the city that was built by
the son of Genghis Khan, which was the
center, the capital
of
the Mongol
Kingdom
and the palace of the king there
had a tree, a full sized tree
made of silver with fruit of gold.
This kingdom of 13,500,000
square miles,
which had wealth which we cannot even imagine
today. I mean, it's simply not possible. You
can't possibly imagine the kind of wealth that
Zhengiz and his and his family had.
When John Mann went to investigate and he
said, let me find some artifacts and so
on and so forth.
Guess what he found? Out of this entire
city of Karakoram, this is a Karakoram highway,
across
the top of Asia.
Guess what he found? He found 1
pillar base
shaped like a turtle.
That's it.
One piece of stone.
One pillar base.
Where are the kings?
That is why Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, a
day will come when He will say
What did Allah say?
Who does this long
day belong to?
And what is the answer to that?
Which Allah will give because at that time
nothing will be alive.
The only certainty
is death.
So I remind myself I knew and I
suggest this is an exercise. Do it.
Somebody asked me a question this morning. They
said they sent a question. They said,
how can I get rid of all the
false attachments
that I have in my heart?
I'm attached to power and money and friends
and
family and this and that. So good. So
are not good. If you are attached to
your family, then so good.
But it's an attachment.
Then how can I get rid of all
this? I said, Think of
death. Because whether you like it or not,
when you die,
We are making du'a for our Burathe.
We ask Allah to help him.
But we are sitting here.
In comfort,
in a nice environment, or a nice chair,
or a nice carpet.
You ask Allah to make the
better than this and make it among like
David said, Allah will send
Insha'Allah.
We ask Allah for this, Insha'Allah. We ask
him to make this the cover of our
brother
and all the Khour of all the Muslim
into the garden of Jannah.
We ask Allah and we make full insha'allah
Allah will give. But the reality is
he
and my father and whoever of yours is
my mother and who are They are in
6 feet of earth in the hole in
the ground.
We are sitting here.
This will happen to everybody.
Harun Nasheed,
the great Abbasid Khalifa,
the famous story about him. He stood on
his on his balcony of his palace one
day and there was a cloud and he
addressed the cloud. He talked to the cloud.
And was a very pious man, much a
good man, but, you know, when you get
that much of wealth, sometimes it's
plays games in your head.
He's talking to the cloud. He says to
this cloud,
go and rain
anywhere
you want
The crops that will go grow from that,
the revenue will come to me.
Cuba is a very dangerous thing. Very
dangerous. Today, we have bought you bought a
nice car. My car. Your car?
What's your car?
Your car is not even worth what would
would pay to to feed 1 of his
dogs.
Wealth like you can't believe. Power like you
can't believe. The man stands there and says
to the cloud, go and rain anywhere you
want. It's coming to me.
Insha'Allah,
I remind myself, brothers and sisters, always, always.
Let us remind ourselves of death. Let us
remind ourselves that one day we will go
from here.
So So don't get attached to stuff. Stuff
will not go with us. Stuff will stay
here. What goes with us?
What?
Amal.
Amal goes with us. Let us collect Amal.
What can I do which is good? What
can I do which will go with me?
Alhamdulillah.
I'm happy because in the cover,
you know, there are a lot of students
here. Let me ask you this question. Today,
when you are studying,
you've got a history book and you have
geography book and you have maths book and
you have a sociology book and this book
and that book. Right? And those books are
important. So you you read all those books,
and then you go to medical school. You
got all those medical books. You go to
engineering. You are engineering or whatever. Right? So
So you read those books, you take care
of those books and so on. You pass
the exam inshallah. May Allah give you a
success. You pass the exam. What happens to
those books on that day after the exam?
1 of 2 things. Either you give it
to somebody
or you sell it.
Go on. Finish challah. You don't say, oh,
you know, I studied this book for 5
years. I'm done. Finish.
Exam over.
But there is one book.
There is one book
which is older than your physics book and
older than your chemistry book and older than
older than your geography book and your biology
book.
Hold that book.
That's because that book never gets old.
Keep that book close to your heart.
Love that book.
Read that book. Understand that book and live
your life according to that book
As shown by the one who brought that
book and who is he? Muhammad
Because that book,
not not in a physical form, but the
Quran
will go with us.
And will be the Ravi said the one
who resides
before he goes to sleep,
will make shafa for that person in the
cover and on the day of judgement.
The kitab of Allah will make shafa'at for
the person on the day of judgement. But
if the the book of Allah will say,
he stayed awake all night, You Rabb, you
Rabb, he used to pray and he used
to make tahajjud and he used to worship
and he used to read me. Now, I
make shafa'at. There is no shafa'at which is
superior to the shafa'at of the kalamullah because
the kalam of Allah is the sifat of
Allah's
Hold that book close. Let us get our
priorities right. This dunya, no matter what it
is, that's why I tell people, do this
as an exercise.
Look at the people you love and say,
you will not be here tomorrow.
You will not be here tomorrow. You will
not be here tomorrow.
You will not be here. I will be
alone.
I will be alone before Allah. In my
grave I will be alone.
If in that grave if I do not
have the mercy of Allah, if I do
not have the kitab of Allah, if I
do not have my salah, if I do
not have my sauwah and my zakat,
if I, if my earning is haram, if
my food is haram, then you cannot help
me. You cannot help me. You cannot, nobody
can help me.
I'm alone.
Nobody can
today if something happens to me, you are
here and help me. Somebody will do something
in the cover. Nothing.
Let us prepare for that.
Let us prepare for that because that is
the only certainty
in our life.
Everything else is uncertain, but that is certain.
Let's prepare for that. We ask Allah
to help us to live this life in
a way where our will become
gardens of Jannah. We ask Allah to live
help us to live this life in a
way where he's pleased with us, where he
forgives us, where he covers us with his
mercy. We ask
Allah to make us enable us to live
our lives according to the blessed sunnah of
Muhammad
So that when we meet him inshaAllah, we
will have the company of of Rasool Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the ambiya and
the sahaba rizwan like alayhi wa sallam.
