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

So we continue our series of the actions

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

of the heart.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:15

And we have, just like every lecture, I

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

would like to remind myself and remind you

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

what we said in the beginning, that the

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

actions of the heart are way, way more

00:00:23 --> 00:00:31

important and more efficient, and the more the

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

heart is involved in the action, the more

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

the action will be rewarding.

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

So this is an extremely important topic to

00:00:38 --> 00:00:43

understand and to develop ourselves and, by the

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

will of Allah, meet Allah with a sound

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

heart.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

Ameen, O Lord of the worlds.

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

Ameen.

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

So we took al-ikhlas, al-tawakkul, we

00:00:52 --> 00:01:00

took al-shukr, al-hub, and today we

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

have a very important amal of the qalb.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

But before we start, I want to ask

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

a couple of questions.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:16

I need a young man.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

What's your name?

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

You can stand there.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

Othman.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

Othman?

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

Okay, Othman.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

Othman, the question is only two words.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

Then what?

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

What do you do now?

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

Student, what do you do now?

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

What?

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

What do you do in life?

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

What do I do in life?

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

You're a student, right?

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

Yeah.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

Okay, then what after that?

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

Then...

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

Put the mic closer.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:01

Then I'm a student, that's all I do.

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

I pray, I study, that's all I do.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

After you finish education, what's your plans?

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

Then what?

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

What's next?

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

College, university.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

Excellent.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

Then what?

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

I'm going to become a doctor, inshallah.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

Excellent.

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

Then what?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

Get married.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

Very good.

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

My advice is to get married before you

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

become a doctor.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

Then what?

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

Have kids.

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

Excellent.

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

Alhamdulillah.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

You're going in order, inshallah.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

Then what?

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37

Then, you know, nurture my kids and then

00:02:37 --> 00:02:43

give them a life based on Islam and

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

just based on like the discipline life.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:46

Inshallah.

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

Very good.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

Okay, let me take a person a little

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49

bit.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

Yusuf.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

Alright.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

Yusuf.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

What are you doing right now?

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

I work, alhamdulillah.

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

Alhamdulillah.

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

Then what?

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

See that part about spending time with the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:09

wife?

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

Then I break the mic, alhamdulillah.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

Then what?

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

And then I do adhkar, I pray salah.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

Then the future, then what?

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

In the future, by the will of Allah,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

children as well, by the will of Allah.

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

Then what?

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

And then more salah, inshallah.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29

Then what?

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

And then...

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

I retire.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

Inshallah, grandchildren, inshallah.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

Okay.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

No matter who you ask, no matter who

00:03:41 --> 00:03:46

you ask, young, old, male, female, black, white,

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

Muslim, non-Muslim, if you keep going with

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

that sequence, the last answer will be, then

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

I die.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

No matter who it is.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

Then the last answer will be, then I

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

die.

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

Now if you ask the same question afterward,

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

the choices will be only two.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

Either Jannah or not.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

There's no more choices than I do this

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

and do that.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

Either Jannah or Jahannam.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

May Allah make us all from the people

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

of Jannah.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

But I cannot make that decision back then.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

It has to be done now.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

If I want Jannah, the work has to

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

be done now, because then it's too late.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

It's finished.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

Now is the time to work.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

So tonight, this is just an introduction to

00:04:40 --> 00:04:45

what is the action of the heart that

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

we will be discussing tonight.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

And that is muhasabah.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:56

Muhasabah, holding ourselves accountable to everything that we

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

do.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

This is a amal of the qalb.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

Muhasabah is an action of the heart, is

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

to evaluate one's actions and behavior of the

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

nafs, and then rectifying the mistakes and continuing

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

with the good deeds.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

There's an ayah in the Quran that Allah

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

is telling us literally, all of us, to

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

do muhasabah.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:30

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرُ نَفْسٌ

00:05:30 --> 00:05:39

مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ Allah is telling us in surah

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

al-hashr, O who you believe, have taqwa

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

of Allah, and look what you have put

00:05:51 --> 00:05:51

forward.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

What have you done for tomorrow?

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

And in surah al-zumar, أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ

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

يَا حَسْرَةَ عَلَى مَا فَرَّتْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ

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

What have I done?

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

What have I done?

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

I missed out on so many things.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

But if we do the muhasabah, and today

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

inshallah at the end of the night, we

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

will see how can we do it on

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

a daily basis.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:31

Rasulullah ﷺ, he said, الْكَيِّسُ The wise man

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

is the one who calls himself to account,

00:06:37 --> 00:06:43

and refrains from doing evil deeds that will

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

benefit him after death.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:51

Now, our nafs, if it is not guided

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

by the kitab and sunnah, our nafs, our

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

soul, this is what they translated it to,

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

if it is not guided by the kitab

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

and sunnah, it will lead us to destruction.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

Now, how many kinds of nafs are mentioned

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

in the Quran?

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

Three.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

The first nafs is النفس الأمارة بالسوء The

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

soul that orders evil.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

This soul, may Allah save us from this

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

soul.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

The owner of that soul, whatever his nafs

00:07:31 --> 00:07:36

tells him, any evil action, there is no

00:07:36 --> 00:07:36

restriction.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

يَلَّا سَمَعْنَا وَآطَعْنَا Drink, we drink.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

Smoke, we smoke.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

Cheat, we cheat.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

Lie, we lie.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

Whatever the nafs stares, we stare.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

Whatever the nafs tells them, they would do

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

it.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

This is the نفس الأمارة بالسوء, it is

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

mentioned in the Quran.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:58

The second nafs is النفس اللوامة The نفس

00:07:58 --> 00:08:06

اللوامة This type of nafs is the most

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

common nafs.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

That is the nafs that most people have.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

And this nafs, anytime the owner of that

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

nafs does something good, What have you done?

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

What have you done?

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

It keeps bringing him back or her back

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

to Allah and make them repent.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

النفس اللوامة And the third nafs, may Allah

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

make us all the owner of this nafs,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:42

is النفس المطمئنة النفس المطمئنة All it does

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

is what pleases Allah.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

All it does, all it thinks about is

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

how can I please Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

'ala.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:59

Now, how to do محاسبة When we do

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

محاسبة to ourselves, when we hold ourselves accountable,

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

we have to be extremely harsh.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

Just like you sit down with your business

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

partner at the end of the month, at

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

the end of the quarter, at the end

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

of the year, and you go penny by

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

penny, where did this go?

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

How much did you spend here?

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

Where is that?

00:09:18 --> 00:09:18

Where is this?

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

And even stricter when it comes to yourself,

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

when you do محاسبة with yourself.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

Now, if you do محاسبة, Wallahi, this is

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

a minor sin.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

At the end of the day you sit

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

down, this is a minor sin, this is

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

a difference of opinion, this is, I'm not

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

sure, this is a fake محاسبة.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

Be extremely harsh.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

Anytime you see that you did something wrong,

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

tell yourself, this is it.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

I'm done with that.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:46

No more.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

And we will explain when we go further.

00:09:55 --> 00:10:02

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us that

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

وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُ

00:10:11 --> 00:10:16

Allah knows everything that you're thinking about.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ We are

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

closer to you than your jugular vein.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:33

So, what will help me do the proper

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

محاسبة?

00:10:34 --> 00:10:38

Number one, knowing the greatness of Allah azza

00:10:38 --> 00:10:38

wa jal.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

Knowing how great is Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

'ala.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

Knowing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:10:45 --> 00:10:45

الرقيب.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

Knowing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

hold me accountable to everything that I have

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

done and everything that I have said.

00:10:55 --> 00:11:03

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sees الرقيب

00:11:03 --> 00:11:08

and الخبير and العليم and He knows everything.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

So, when I know that, I cannot lie

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

about my محاسبة.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

Who am I fooling?

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

So, knowing the greatness of Allah azza wa

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

jal will help me with my محاسبة.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

Second, pondering upon the questions that I will

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

be asked on the day of judgment will

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

help me with my محاسبة.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم, open your

00:11:32 --> 00:11:33

ears.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

He said, the foot of the son of

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

Adam will not move on the day of

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

judgment until he's asked.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

He will not move on the day of

00:11:42 --> 00:11:51

judgment until he is questioned about his شباب,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

his youth.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

Listen youth, you will be questioned.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

How did you consume your youth?

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

What did you do with the knowledge that

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

you got?

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

And two questions about wealth.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

50% is about wealth.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

Where did you get your money from?

00:12:07 --> 00:12:13

Smoke shop owners, sellers of alcohol, sellers of

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

lottery, sellers of smokes, sellers of all.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

Wake up, you will be questioned.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

Where did you get your money and where

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

did you spend it?

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

You will not move until you answer.

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

So, when I know that I will be

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

questioned about all these things, I will definitely

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

do محاسبة now before the محاسبة on that

00:12:33 --> 00:12:33

day.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

Third, what reminds me or improve my محاسبة,

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

knowing for a fact like we said in

00:12:39 --> 00:12:45

the beginning, remembering that no doubt I am

00:12:45 --> 00:12:45

going to die.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

Remembering موت, remembering death.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:55

والله يا اخوان, on today is what?

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

Thursday.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

Tuesday.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

Tuesday, I got a text, there is a

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

brother in the hospital.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

Would you like to go and visit him?

00:13:08 --> 00:13:08

I said absolutely.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

So, I took brother Javed and we went.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

27 years old.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

Last Wednesday, not yesterday, last Wednesday.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

Just like I woke up in the morning

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

and I went to work, you woke up

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

in the morning, I went to school, you

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

woke up in the morning, I went to…

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

Every day in the morning, everybody gets up

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

and they leave.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

So, this young man woke up in the

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

morning and left the house.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

He stopped at the stop sign, obeying all

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

the traffic laws, then he moved.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:52

A guy coming, flying from the other side,

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

missed his stop sign and hit him.

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

Took him to the hospital.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

One week of all kinds of tests and

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

surgeries and all that.

00:14:08 --> 00:14:12

On Monday morning, they declared him brain dead.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

So, I saw him on Tuesday and yesterday

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

was his janazah.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

27 year old young man.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

Did he know that when he closed the

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

door with his own hand, it will be

00:14:31 --> 00:14:36

opened by paramedics, by the ambulance?

00:14:38 --> 00:14:38

Did he know that?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

His mother, may Allah give her patience and

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

give the family patience.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

You know, they're all saying, I wish I

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

hugged him one more time.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:52

I wish, you know, we take it for

00:14:52 --> 00:14:52

granted.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

When Baba goes to work, I'm going to

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

go home and find him.

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

When my son leaves the house to school

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

or to college, I'm going to come back

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

home and they will be there waiting for

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

me.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

We take that for granted.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

I beg you, I beg you.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

Go back home and hug your children.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

Hug your wife, hug your spouse.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

As if it's the last time you see

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

them, because it could be.

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

Wallahi, he did not know.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

And I found out from Abdul Basit, I

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

don't know if he's here, he was telling

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

me what an amazing young man this man

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

was.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

May Allah have mercy on him.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

May Allah accept him as a martyr.

00:15:27 --> 00:15:32

Because our current scholars, the contemporary scholars, they

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

said that whomever dies in a car accident,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

they compared it to what?

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

The falling of the wall.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

Rasulallah said, if a wall falls on you

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

and you die, it's a shaheed.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

So they said, if a man, a person

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

died in a car accident, and of course

00:15:52 --> 00:15:56

it's not his fault on purpose, he will

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

be a shaheed.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

So we ask Allah to accept him as

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

a shaheed.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

So, subhanallah, just like he did not know

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

that that was his last day, his last

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

night, similarly for us, ya akhwan.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

So I have to hold myself accountable every

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

single night, especially knowing that I am going

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

to leave this dunya.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on

00:16:19 --> 00:16:23

him, and this is where now the practical

00:16:23 --> 00:16:24

part.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on

00:16:25 --> 00:16:32

him, explained how can we do muhasaba and

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

what is the order.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:42

He said, first, we're all going home inshallah.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

Before you sleep, you sit down at the

00:16:47 --> 00:16:52

edge of your bed, and you start, number

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

one.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:58

You start with the faridah, the obligation.

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

The stuff that's a must, this is where

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

you start.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

How was my salat today?

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

Real muhasaba, not fake muhasaba.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

How was my salat today?

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

One of them was really late, I almost

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

missed it, no more.

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

That's it.

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

Asr?

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

I forgot what I read, no focus whatsoever.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

I was thinking of going back to the

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

office and have a meeting.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

Inshallah, I'm going to fix that.

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

Start with the faridah.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

My relationship with my parents is a faridah.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

I raised my voice today at my mother.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

No, no, no, how could I do this?

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

That's it, ya rab, forgive me.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

Ya Allah, forgive me.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

And I wake up in the morning, or

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

even before I sleep, Mama, please, I cannot

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

sleep.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

Please forgive me.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

This is a faridah.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

Bir al-walidayn is a farid.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

And if it was Ramadan, I check how

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

was my fasting.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:58

But the salat, because it's 365, every day

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

I sit down and I start asking, Ya

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

akhwan, this is not just a halaqa and

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

then we leave.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

This is muhasaba, this is accountability.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

I'm going to sit down and ask, how

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

was my salat today?

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

I keep repeating the same surahs.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

No, no, no, from now on, I'm going

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

to memorize a new surah.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

I only repeat, qul huwa allahu ahadu an

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

-naas.

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

Now, from now on, I'm going to do

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

the asr and al-falak.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

I'm going to add new surahs to my

00:18:23 --> 00:18:23

surah bank.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

I'm going to improve in my khushu'a.

00:18:28 --> 00:18:32

Every day, imagine, every day I sit down.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

Imagine our life right now without any muhasaba.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

And boom, you're gone.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

Ya rab, ya rab bir ja'oon.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

Ya Allah, bring me back.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

Ya Allah, if you bring me back, I'm

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

going to show you what kind of salat

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

I'm going to do.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

I'm going to show you my hijab.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

I'm going to show you how my treatment

00:18:51 --> 00:18:51

to my parents.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

I'm going to show you how I treat

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

my husband.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

I'm going to show you how I respect

00:18:55 --> 00:18:55

my wife.

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

Ya Allah, just bring me back.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

But we all know, kalla innaha kalimatan huwa

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

qa'iluha.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

There's no way you're coming back.

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

No way, no way.

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

So number one, we start with fard.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

I check my fard.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

How many haram things I've done.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

How many haram things I've done.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

Maybe I bought something that's not allowed.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

Maybe I stared at something I'm not supposed

00:19:32 --> 00:19:32

to stare at.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

Maybe I texted a text that I'm not

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

supposed to.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

Maybe I commented a comment that I'm not

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

supposed to.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

Maybe I said some things behind someone's back

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

in his absence.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

I backbite, I'm not supposed to.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

I check, ya Allah.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

And if it was backbiting, ya Allah, ya

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

Allah.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

Please forgive so and so.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

The one I backbite, ya Allah, forgive him.

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

Ya Allah, protect him.

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

I make dua for that person.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

Ya Allah, help me.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

Ya Allah, help me control my tongue.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

Ya Allah, help me lower my gaze.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

Check next is the major sins, the sins.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

What have I done in sins today?

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

And then I make a promise, tomorrow I'm

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

not going to do it.

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

If I did it tomorrow, the next day

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

I would say, I'm going to try to

00:20:25 --> 00:20:26

control myself more.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

So it's not going to happen, you do

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

muhasabah today, you wake up tomorrow, Omar bin

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

al-Khattab.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

No, it's going to take some time.

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

Third, heedlessness.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

Ghafla.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:43

How many things I, for example, I'll give

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

you a very good example.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:49

How much screen time was spent on what

00:20:49 --> 00:20:55

spiritually and mentally nourished me today?

00:20:57 --> 00:21:01

How much time I spent on reels that

00:21:01 --> 00:21:06

were dancing, joking, pranks, fake, all kinds of

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

stuff that had no benefit whatsoever.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

Tomorrow, maybe I'm not going to stop, but

00:21:12 --> 00:21:12

I'm going to cut it down.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

From one hour, I'm going to make it

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

10 minutes, 15 minutes.

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

Of course, I'm talking about halal stuff.

00:21:20 --> 00:21:25

So, how much time I wasted, and especially

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

now, most of us on the social media.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

I hold myself accountable, that's it.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

From now on, 5 minutes.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

In the morning, 5 minutes, at night, whatever.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

I'm going to cut it down.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

Fourth, which is very important.

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

I hold my intention to account.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

What does that mean?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

Did I attend this halaqa sincerely for the

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

sake of Allah?

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

Am I talking now sincerely for the sake

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

of Allah?

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

How was my intention when I'm doing the

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

a'mal?

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

How was my intention?

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

No, no, this one, no, I was just

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

there because they're having a special on the

00:22:08 --> 00:22:08

shawarma.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:12

So, I did not go really for the

00:22:12 --> 00:22:12

masjid.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

I went to see someone, but I did

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

not really intend.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

I fixed my intention.

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

And this is extremely important.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:25

How many regular, and this is, I'm guilty.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

I'm working on myself to fix this.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:32

How many actions I did normally, that I

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

really made intention before, it is for the

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

sake of Allah.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:45

Like, I went to get groceries from

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

a Muslim owner.

00:22:52 --> 00:22:56

How many, did I purify my intention before

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

I go?

00:22:58 --> 00:23:03

That I'm going to buy food from this

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

Muslim business so that they can benefit.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

And I am the father of the household.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

I'm responsible for providing for the household.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

The whole trip will become ibadah.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

I am going to school to study today

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

because I want to become a doctor.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

And help all my Muslims, all the human

00:23:21 --> 00:23:22

beings in general.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

Anybody who comes to me, he doesn't have

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

money.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

All my 10, 9, 8 years of education

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

is ibadah.

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

I am getting married to protect myself.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:34

Look at this, look how many of us

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

missed this.

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

5, forget it, 20 seconds.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

Ya Allah, I'm getting married so I can

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

protect myself from falling into haram, and following

00:23:44 --> 00:23:47

the sunnah of Rasulullah ﷺ, and protecting another

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

sister from falling into haram.

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

Bismillah, 30, 40 years of marriage, ibadah.

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

Just 20 seconds.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

This is an extremely important business.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

This is the business of the sahaba.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

The business of the sahaba was a business

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

of intentions.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

With one amal, multiple intentions.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

And this is something that we are behind.

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

One amal, I'm coming, I always give the

00:24:13 --> 00:24:14

same example.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

I'm coming to the masjid, with every step.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

One hasanah written, one saya'ah erased.

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

I'm going to meet my brothers, and check

00:24:24 --> 00:24:25

up on them.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

I'm going to pray in jama'ah, get

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

27 times more.

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

I'm going to this, I'm going to that.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

All these intentions, before I do any amal.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:36

I have, tomorrow, I did not do all

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

these things.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

I'm going to start making an intention before

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

every single action.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

That will improve my muhasabah.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

Now, one of the fruits, or some of

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

the fruits of muhasabah quickly, is that it

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

will ease the accountability on the day of

00:24:56 --> 00:24:56

judgement.

00:24:57 --> 00:25:01

Umar, the very famous, حاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أن

00:25:01 --> 00:25:05

تحاسبوا before you will be held accountable.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

So this, one of the fruits of muhasabah,

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

it will make my life easier on the

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

day of judgement.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

And also, it will decrease the amount of

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

time wasted.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

Right?

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

Tomorrow, I can't go play basketball for 5

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

hours, for 3 hours.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

Basketball is halal, I'm going to make it

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

45 minutes.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:31

So, all the time wasted will become less.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:38

Now, finally, or before, one more point.

00:25:38 --> 00:25:44

How the sahabah used to hold themselves accountable.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

One of the sahabah, his name is Hanzala,

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

we all know the hadith.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

Hanzala came out in the middle of the

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

night, and started screaming, ناثق حنظلة, ناثق حنظلة,

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

حنظلة is منافق, حنظلة is a hypocrite.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

Abu Bakr saw him, حنظلة, حنظلة is a

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

hypocrite?

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

What did you do?

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

He said, يا أبا بكر, when we are

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

with Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, الله أكبر,

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

the Iman is sky high.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

But when we go home, we start playing

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

with the wife, and we're playing with the

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

children, and our Iman drops.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

So, Abu Bakr said, what did Abu Bakr

00:26:17 --> 00:26:17

say?

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

ناثق أبو بكر, أبو بكر is منافق.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

Same thing, I feel.

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

يلا, let's go to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه

00:26:24 --> 00:26:25

وسلم.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

يا رسول الله, this, this, this and that.

00:26:29 --> 00:26:31

رسول صلى الله عليه وسلم, سبحان الله, may

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

Allah make us gather with him.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:38

He said, calm down, if you are always

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

in the state that you are state, in

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

the state that you are with me, and

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

you are always in the same level, you

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

start shaking hands with the angels in the

00:26:47 --> 00:26:47

street.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

فساعة وساعة, one hour this, one hour that,

00:26:52 --> 00:26:55

it's okay, this is nothing wrong with what

00:26:55 --> 00:26:55

you're doing.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

طيب, how do I listen to this, and

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

inshallah we will end with this.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

I miss, I am a person that comes

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

to Fajr and Jama'ah every day.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

Okay, I'm just assuming.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

I missed Fajr and Jama'ah today.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

I prayed Fajr on time, but I missed

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

it in Jama'ah.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

If I miss it tomorrow, fifty dollars.

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

Fifty dollars to the masjid.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:32

I fast Monday and Thursday.

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

Today is Thursday, I did not fast.

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

I'm going to make it up by fasting

00:27:40 --> 00:27:41

three more days.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

Punish that nafs.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

Punish that nafs.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:55

When Umar, رضي الله عنه, missed, missed Asr

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

in Jama'ah, not missed Asr, this is

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

out of the question, missed Asr in Jama

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

'ah, he gave two acres of land في

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

سبيل الله.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

Two acres of land في سبيل الله.

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

Because he missed Asr in Jama'ah.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

So, come up.

00:28:19 --> 00:28:24

I read five pages every day, Qur'an.

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

I did not do it today.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:32

I'm going to perform tahajjud all night.

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

Wallahi, this is the muhasabah, this is a

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

true muhasabah.

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

Otherwise, you missed it and you didn't do

00:28:40 --> 00:28:43

punishment to this soul, this soul خلص, he's

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

easy on me.

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

Wallahi, if you keep doing this, let's take

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

the example of fajr in Jama'ah.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

If you keep doing this, you know who's

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

going to wake you up for fajr tomorrow?

00:28:58 --> 00:28:58

Shaytan.

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

Go to fajr.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

Every time you miss fajr, three days fasting,

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

you're killing me.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

Wallahi, he will be waking you up for

00:29:08 --> 00:29:08

fajr.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

If you constantly do this, you'll be the

00:29:12 --> 00:29:13

shaytan.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

Because he noticed that every time he makes

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

you miss a ibadah, you're multiplying it by

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

five, by ten.

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

So, habibi, no?

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

Go ammi to fajr.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

Fast, ya akhi.

00:29:24 --> 00:29:24

Subhanallah.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

So, ya akhwan, really, please, if we can

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

start from tonight, I would really love you.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

I love you already.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

But please, go tonight and make it a

00:29:35 --> 00:29:35

habit.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

Every single night.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

Just five minutes.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

If I did something wrong, ya Allah, please,

00:29:40 --> 00:29:41

forgive me, ya Allah.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:42

Forgive me, ya Rabb.

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

I promise you, I'm going to make tawbah.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

I will not do it again.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

And if I did something good, ya Allah,

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

please, help me do it again.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:49

Please.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

Please, ya Allah.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

Give me the guidance.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

Give me the strength to constantly do it.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

Wallahi, if we constantly do that, why, ya

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

akhwan, why?

00:29:59 --> 00:30:00

What's the dua that we say when we

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

wake up?

00:30:03 --> 00:30:12

Alhamdulillah Alladhi Ahyana Ba'da Tayyib That means, that

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

night could be my last night.

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

So I'm making all this istighfar and tawbah

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

because when I wake up, I say, alhamdulillah

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

that he made me, gave me back life.

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

After, I died.

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

This is many deaths.

00:30:29 --> 00:30:33

Maut, al-naum, al-maut al-asghar.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:39

So, imagine I made all this tawbah before

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

I sleep, and that was my last night.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:43

May Allah make our last deeds, our best

00:30:43 --> 00:30:46

deeds, and our last words, la ilaha illallah.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make our

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

hisab easy.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us

00:30:51 --> 00:30:52

from the people who listen and apply.

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

Make a lot of salat on the Rasulullah,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

salallahu alayhi wasalam.

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

And we see you at fajr tomorrow at

00:30:57 --> 00:30:59

6.45. Subhanakallahumma bihamdik.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

Ash'hadu an la ilaha illa ant, astaghfiruka,

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

wa natubu ilayk.

00:31:29 --> 00:31:59

Al

00:31:59 --> 00:31:59

-Fatiha.
