Very interesting day yesterday.
Before that, on Thursday after dhuhr, we had
a nikah here in the masjid.
I know if somebody prayed dhuhr, I'm sure
you saw a lot of people here in
the masjid.
Alhamdulillah, may Allah put barakah in that marriage.
On Friday before my khutbah, I got a
text saying that please make dua for this
sister.
She was in an accident on 75 and
she got her leg amputated.
So I made dua, did not know anything.
Then, subhanallah, I found out that the accident
was with the people of the wedding.
The ones who did the nikah here and
we were laughing and having fun and making
dua.
And one of the sisters that came from
Louisville to attend the wedding, she passed away
in the accident, 19 years old.
And two sisters got their legs amputated and
one brain damaged and the rest are all
in the hospital.
And the car that hit them, it's an
American lady with her daughter, both also passed
away.
It was a major, major accident on 75.
If anybody was on 75 two days ago,
you would have noticed it.
Subhanallah, a few points.
First, the sister left her house to attend
the wedding and that was her last trip.
Did she know that?
No, wallahi, she did not.
The sister who was walking, because those two
girls, they're amputated, are from UTD.
And many of our students here know them.
As a matter of fact, brother, Dr. Omar
was telling me that she's one of his
students.
He's a professor at UTD.
The blessings that we have, we do not
appreciate until they are gone.
And we have no clue when our last
moment will come.
And the wise one is the one who
constantly prepares for that moment.
The wise one is the one who prepares
for that moment.
So imagine, the wedding hall that was booked
for the wedding, it was held for Azza
yesterday.
They booked it for a wedding and we
did the Azza.
I was there yesterday for the Azza.
You book it for a wedding, it turns
out you're making du'a for the deceased.
And after that, we found out that one
of our beloved brothers, brother Basir, we all
know him, subhanallah, his wife's niece, three months
old, her janazah was yesterday, three months old.
Anybody who's a parent here knows what that
means.
So, brothers, don't ever be fooled by your
age or by your health or by your
wealth or by your plans or by your
ambitions.
Be ambitious, alhamdulillah, but treat every day as
if it's your last day.
If you have any problem with anybody, don't
let the shaytan keep delaying that forgiveness, especially
if it is your spouse, it is your
parent.
Go fix it, hurry up, before a day
comes and you say, I wish I could
see them back again and say I'm sorry.
Because we never know.
And when these things happen, and they happen
in our community, who is supposed to be
the first one who wakes up?
The community itself, not the people of Arizona.
This community has to wake up immediately and
say, subhanallah, coming for a wedding, finished.
And last point is, I spoke to the
groom, because you know how the shaytan comes.
Oh, this is bad luck.
Someone died on your wedding day.
Your wedding hall became a place.
You know how the shaytan comes, and especially
in our countries, there's a lot of bad
omen, which is haram in Islam.
The shaykh just recited.
The wedding has nothing to do, that death
was going to take place anyway on that
moment and that place, at that second, in
Dallas.
That was going to take place.
Don't let the shaytan ruin their wedding.
Imagine every anniversary, oh, your wedding was a
place.
So this is our belief that this is
already in the qadr of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
We should not say, oh, you know what,
maybe we should break this marriage.
This did not start right.
No, no, no.
This is not our belief.
This was meant to be, the legs were
meant to go, the person was meant to
die, the accident was meant to happen.
This is our belief, and this is what
we trust Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, is
the one who took the souls, is arham
al rahim.
The one who took that 19 year old
or that three month old is the most
merciful.
And subhanallah, for the three months old, I
told her mother, can you imagine that a
part of you is in jannah?
Because, you know, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
told us that the one who dies at
this age in jannah, and this is a
part of the mother, subhanallah.
A part of her is in jannah, allahu
akbar.
So please keep the families, both families in
your dua, that Allah will give them the
patience.
It's not easy to lose a 19 year
old.
We all know that.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive all
her sins.
May Allah give her the highest place in
jannah.
May Allah give her parents the patience.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cure all
the ones in the hospital.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make our
last deeds, our best deeds, and our last
words, la ilaha illallah.
