00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			There are a few brothers and sisters that
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			passed away in our community.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

			Brother Rizwan Ahmed's mom, Brother Dameel Yusuf's grandmother,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Sister Maha Jabouri.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive all
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			their sins.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			Allahumma aghfirlahum warhamahum, wa'afihim wa'afu anhum,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			waakrim nuzulahum wa wasi' mutkhalahum.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			May Allah grant them the highest place in
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			the Firdaws al-A'la.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			We also have a few sick brothers and
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			sisters.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			There's a baby, baby Yusra.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			She's in the ICU.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give her
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			shifa and bring her home.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

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

			Three people died.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			And one sister, 21-year-old, subhanAllah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			As we speak, her leg is being amputated.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			21 years old.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make an
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			easy surgery and may Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			'ala give her and her family the patience.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:28
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:39
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:47
			is the Greatest.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:57
			I bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			of worship except Allah.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			I bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			of worship except Allah.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:30
			I bear witness that
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:37
			Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:45
			I bear witness
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:55
			that Muhammad is the Messenger of
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Allah.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:50
			Come to
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			success.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:13
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			I
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:33
			bear
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:52
			witness that there is none worthy of worship
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			except Allah.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			of Allah.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			As-salamu alaykum
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:32
			wa
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:39
			from them many men and women, and fear
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			Allah in Whom you ask for help and
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			mercy.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			Indeed, Allah is ever watching over you.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			O you who have believed, fear Allah and
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			speak a just word.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			He will amend for you your deeds and
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			forgive you your sins.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			won a great triumph.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			My dear, beloved, respected brothers and sisters, I
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			ask Allah Azza wa Jalla who gathered us
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			in this masjid to gather us Yawm al
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			-Qiyamah with Sayyid al-Mursaleen Muhammad salallahu alayhi
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			wa sallam.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			Ameen.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:53
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala has decreed that
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			everything, everything has a beginning and an end.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:04
			The days, the weeks, the months, even our
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			own life.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			It has a beginning and it has an
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			end.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:20
			After that, it will be either eternal Jannah,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			may Allah make us all from the people
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of Jannah, or it would be *.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			May Allah save us all from the Hellfire.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			But the question that I want to post
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			to myself first and to my brothers and
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:48
			sisters is that what would the world lose
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			after my death?
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:02
			What would the world miss after I'm gone?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:11
			What would my community miss after I'm gone?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			What would my neighbors miss?
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			What would my family miss after I'm long
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			gone?
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			From the wisdom of Allah subhana wa ta
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			'ala is that he did not make the
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			legacy of a person, the legacy they leave
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			behind depending on how long they lived, what
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			food they ate, what neighborhood they lived in,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			how many cars they had.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			This is not how the legacy is measured.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:50
			The legacy is measured by the difference we
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			make in people's lives.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			The legacy is measured by how much we
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			have impacted people around us.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:07
			It is the kindness you have shown, the
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			lives that you have touched.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			And now we go back to the question
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			every single one of us, what would the
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			world lose after my death?
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			And this is not just another question, I
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			really want you to ponder upon this question.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:33
			There are people when they depart, not only
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:39
			their family cries, but the heavens and the
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			earth cry.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:41
			Really?
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			It's in the Quran.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala said in surat
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:53
			al-Dukhan, ثَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ And
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			the heavens and the earth, they did not
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			cry when they died.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			Ibn Abbas, Sahaba came to Ibn Abbas radiallahu
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			anhu, and they asked him, What does that
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			mean that the heavens and the earth did
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			not cry?
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:14
			Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu said, Everyone has a
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:19
			gate in the heavens through which his provision
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			comes down, and his deeds ascend.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			When that believer dies, that gate is closed,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			and it misses him and starts weeping for
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			his departure.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Their place of salat and remembrance of Allah
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:50
			on earth will miss them, and weeps because
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			of their departure.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:58
			Will the earth and the heavens cry after
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			myself or you depart?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:10
			My brothers and sisters, those people whom the
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			heavens and the earth weep after their departure,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:18
			their main concern from the moment they wake
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			up till the moment they go back to
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			sleep, is Allah pleased with me?
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			All day long, 24x7.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			That's all they worry about.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			That is their main concern.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			The pleasure of Allah Azza wa Jal.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:44
			Those people, their slogan is, عَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			لِتَرْضَ And Ya Allah, I hastened to you
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			so you can be pleased.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			I hastened, I rushed to you Ya Allah,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			so you can be pleased.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			When they see a brother and sister in
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			need anywhere in the world, they rush and
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			they help.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			When they see someone in the community behind
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			in their rent, they rush and they help
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			financially.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			When they hear that someone in the community
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			is sick, they rush and they go and
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17
			visit.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			When they hear that there is an orphan
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			that is in dire need, they rush.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ They rush to do good.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			Their main concern is the pleasure of Allah
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			Azza wa Jal.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			Why?
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			Because Allah Azza wa Jal is عَلَىٰ كُلِّ
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:43
			شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ They figured, why should I please
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			so and so, Why should I please this
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			guy or that guy?
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			They are not عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ They
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			are not capable of doing anything.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			They do not know the unseen.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			The only one who is capable of doing
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			anything, the only one who knows the unseen,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			the only one who permits into Jannah and
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			prevents hellfire, is one and only one, and
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			that is Allah.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			How can it make any sense pleasing other
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			than Him?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			If I'm looking for that eternal life to
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			be in Jannah, I have to please the
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			owner of Jannah.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			I have to please the only one that
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:32
			allows people into Jannah, and that is none
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			but Allah Azza wa Jal.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:42
			When we gain the pleasure of Allah Azza
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			wa Jal, may Allah be pleased with us
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			all.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			I beg Allah on this blessed day of
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:51
			Friday, Ya Rabb, Ya Allah, do not take
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			our soul until you are pleased with us.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			Ameen, Ya Rabb al-alameen.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:01
			When we gain the pleasure of Allah, what
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			is the reward?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:13
			رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرَ When
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			we earn the pleasure of Allah Azza wa
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:23
			Jal, then Allah will please us.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			When He's pleased with us, He said four
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			times in the Quran, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ He
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			is pleased with them because of what they
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			are doing, and that led for them to
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			be pleased in this dunya, and in the
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			akhirah.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			So the rida of Allah Azza wa Jal,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			when we are trying to please Allah subhanahu
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			wa ta'ala, Allah will please us in
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			the dunya and in the akhirah.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			My brothers and sisters, we are not the
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			same in the sight of Allah Azza wa
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:53
			Jal.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in surah
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:04
			Al-Imran, هُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ They are
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			of different grades in the sight of Allah.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			Why?
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			We all have two eyes, two ears, one
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			nose, two legs.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			What's the difference?
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			What made me different than you?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Or you different than him?
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:23
			هُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ Why?
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala بَصِيرٌ بِمَا
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			يَعْمَلُونَ Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			judging us according to what we do.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			Our actions determine our grade, our status, our
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			level in the sight of Allah Azza wa
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:42
			Jal.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			It's all about, my brothers and sisters, it's
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:53
			all about what we have done when we
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			are still above the ground.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:59
			It's all about what we have done when
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			we are still alive.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:07
			It's all about how selfish or selfless we
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:07
			were.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:16
			My brothers and sisters, that's why when Rasulullah
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			ﷺ was asked a beautiful question.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			He said, Ya Rasulullah, who is the most
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			beloved person to Allah Azza wa Jal?
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			He said, أَنفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ The one who brings
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			the most benefit to humanity.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			This is the most beloved person to Allah.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			What does it mean the most beloved person
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			to Allah?
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			Do you think Allah will throw in the
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			hellfire the most beloved person to Him?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			That means He's pleased with him.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:57
			My brothers and sisters, as long as we
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:02
			are still breathing above this ground, we can
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:09
			still leave something behind that will stay very
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			possible till the day of judgment.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			قُولُوا قَوْلِ هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهِ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:25
			الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			وَحْدَةً وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهِ
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			The Messenger of Allah was standing with the
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			companions and a funeral procession passed by.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:43
			The Messenger of Allah said, مُسْتَرِيحٌ أَوْ مُسْتَرَاحٌ
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:50
			مِنْهِ The companions said, Ya Rasulallah, what does
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			that mean?
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:58
			مُسْتَرِيحٌ أَوْ مُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهِ He said, The believer
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:03
			is مُسْتَرِيحٌ The believer is relieved after his
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			death from all the hardships and the problems
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			of this dunya.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:14
			And the wicked person, the people, the cities,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:20
			the trees and the animals are relieved from
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			him after his death.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:27
			So all of us are either مُسْتَرِيحٌ أَوْ
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			مُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهِ What do you want to be
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			said when your janazah passes?
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			What would your children say after you pass
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:36
			away?
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:46
			My brothers and sisters, The throne of Allah
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			shook.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:54
			The throne of Allah shook for the death
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			of Sa'd ibn Mu'ath.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Out of happiness and joy welcoming him.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			And you know how old he was in
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			Islam?
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			Six years.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			A person that lived only six years.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			The throne of Allah shook for his death.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			It's not about how long we live.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			It's about what did we achieve in this
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			period that we lived.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			How many people we changed their lives.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			How many people became Muslims because of your
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			behavior?
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			Because of your manners?
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			How many people you touched so much that
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			they started praying because of you?
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			Sisters, how many people they were so impressed
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			by your hijab that they start wearing the
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			hijab because of you?
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			How many families tasted the beauty of life
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			only after their father departed from this dunya?
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			Because he was so stingy.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			There was a brother who was so stingy.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			Millions and millions of dollars.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			Tens of properties overseas.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			And he used to walk with a flip
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:27
			-flop.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			And that's all he owned, a flip-flop
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			and a thawb.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			One filthy.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			To the level they start calling him Abu
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			flip-flop.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			And he constantly deprived his family from everything.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			When he died, they refused.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			The children refused to pay for the janazah
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			of the father.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			The imam has to call people to donate
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			to bury a millionaire.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			How many peoples cannot wait for their father
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			to leave because of the misery that he
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			put them in?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			How many countries would rejoice when their president
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:21
			or their king pass away because of his
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:21
			oppression?
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			And at the same time, on the other
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:33
			hand, how many people weeped when a righteous
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			scholar passed away?
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			How many people weeped when a mujahid passed
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:40
			away?
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:47
			How many people weeped when a god-fearing
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			commander died as a shaheed?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:57
			How many people cried when a caller to
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			Allah had passed away?
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:06
			There are many people among us that are
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:11
			dead even though they are breathing and eating
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			and drinking and walking.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:20
			And there are so many people that are
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			still alive even though they passed hundreds of
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			years ago.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:33
			How many times per day the name Bukhari
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			is mentioned on earth?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			How many times per day the name Abu
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			Huraira is mentioned on earth?
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			Is it because of their wealth?
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			Abu Huraira used to fall down because of
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			hunger.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			How many times a day the name of
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			Salah al-Din al-Ayub is mentioned?
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			How many times a day Khalid ibn al
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			-Walid, after long gone, they are mentioned, they
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			are still alive.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			And we have people that they are dead
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			and they are still eating and drinking.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			Nothing, no benefit whatsoever from them.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:22
			My brothers and sisters, there was a man
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:26
			who died recently, 2013 or 2014.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			His name was Abdulrahman Sumait.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			Go search his name on Google.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			S-U-M-A-I-T, Abdulrahman.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			Abdulrahman, he was a doctor from Kuwait.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			Subhanallah.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			May Allah have mercy on him.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			Till this day, even though it's only 10
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			years, we're still saying, when he mentioned his
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			name, may Allah have mercy on him.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			Millions, millions of people became Muslims because of
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			his efforts.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			Millions in Africa.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			Hundreds of orphanages.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			Hundreds of schools.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Thousands of wells.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			If there's one person I'm envious of, it's
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			this man.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			He left all the dunya, he's a doctor.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			He left all that and dedicated his life
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			to serve Allah Azza wa Jal.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			And his legacy will stay.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			Everyone who took shahada because of his efforts,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			after the will of Allah Azza wa Jal,
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			he will get the ajr, even though he
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			could be hundreds of years, he passed away
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			hundreds of years ago.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			My brothers and sisters, please listen carefully.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			If you drop dead tomorrow, I'm not going
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			to tell you the word, what will this
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			masjid lose?
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			Is it going to take us half an
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			hour to identify you?
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			Oh, the brother who did this, he used
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			to come, he's tall.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			Or the brother who used to always, subhanAllah,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			take care of the parking.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			The brother who, mashallah, he donated so much
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:15
			to build this masjid.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			The brother who's always doing the pantry outside.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			The brother who's giving people shahadas.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27
			What will this masjid lose after your departure?
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:34
			How many hours, how many minutes per week
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			you volunteer in the masjid?
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			Someone else will do it.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			And similarly, someone else will get the reward.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			You are so big, you don't have the
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:48
			time.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			You're a big shot.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			You don't have the time for half.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			Last week I asked for one hour a
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			month.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			A month.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			To come and help outside in the pantry.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Because the brother, may Allah bless him and
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			reward him, he's been doing it for four
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			years.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			He said, Sheikh, I just want one Saturday
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:09
			off.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			One hour a month.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			This masjid and other masjids, they are all
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			running on the actions, may Allah bless, few
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			people.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			And the rest, either they are not doing
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			anything or they are complaining.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			What would your children say?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			Would they be very happy that you departed?
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			Or, because he used to beat me all
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			the time, he used to yell every time
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			he comes inside the house.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			Or, they are, subhanAllah, he used to bring
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			me to Fajr every day.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			I missed him so much.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			He's the one who taught me the Quran.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			That's my father.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			Ask yourself this question and let's fix them
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			before it's too late.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			Let's fix them before it's too late.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			My brothers and sisters, one wise man once
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			said, if you don't want to be forgotten,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:17
			then either write something worth reading, or do
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			something worth writing.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:29
			Your legacy is your story told in the
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			life of others.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			Isa, peace be upon him, he said something
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:42
			so beautiful in the Quran, وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			مَا كُنتَ And I'm full of barakah wherever
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			I go.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:51
			I wish, wallahi, that I and you can
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			be full of barakah wherever we go.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			Wherever we go, people look forward to see
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			us.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			People know that by just being with him
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			or with her, I'm gonna benefit something.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			I love their demeanor.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			I love the way they treat others.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			I love their smile.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			مُبَارَك Every gathering, before the gathering is over,
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			brothers, sit down, I just want to remind
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			you of something.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:23
			كُتْحَدِيث Brothers, you know what?
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			Yesterday I found out that someone is sick.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			يلا, let's go, let's go visit him.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			Brothers, there's someone in the community that needs
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			really, really bad, he's in dire need to
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			pay his rent.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			He's always مُبَارَك wherever they go.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			This could be me and you also.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتَ May Allah put barakah
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			in all we do.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			My brothers and sisters, this is the time,
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			if we want to leave something to be
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:02
			remembered after we pass, this is the time.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			We don't want to be from the people
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			after they are gone.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			رَبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ Ya Allah, bring me back.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			Ya Allah, if you bring me back, I'm
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			going to show you.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			The masajid I'm going to build, the Islamic
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			school I'm going to support, the wells I'm
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			going to dig, Ya Allah, I'm going to
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			show you.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			Just bring me back.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			surah al-an'am, to answer this person,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:39
			وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَذِبُونَ
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:44
			If I bring them back, he's the alim,
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			they're going to do the same exact thing
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			all over again.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			They are liars.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			Because me and you, we get fooled by
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:50
			talk.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			But he knows what's in here.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			Bring me back, bring me back.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			And then when they're back, Allah said, they
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:58
			are liars.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			They're going to do the same thing all
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			over again.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			Maybe they will do it a day or
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			two, and then go back again.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			I beg Allah azza wa jal to make
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			us mubarakeen, wherever we are.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			I beg Allah azza wa jal to make
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			us from the people who leave something.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			Ya akhwan, can you think, we always, if
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			someone stood up right now, and said, brothers
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			and sisters, I have an investment, Allahu akbar,
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			you put a dollar, it will give you
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:25
			four, five hundred dollars, you cannot believe the
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			return.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			We will rush.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			And he guarantees it, and he brings lawyer
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			to sign for it, and we will rush
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:33
			to invest.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			Subhanallah.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			This investment will stop after my death.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			What about an investment that keeps giving till
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			the day of judgment?
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			Till the day of judgment.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			I taught someone Quran, and then he taught
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			somebody, and that guy taught his kids, and
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			the kids taught the grandkids, and I'm dead.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			And the hasanat are recurring.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			Because of one amal salih, I built a
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			masjid, I dug well.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			Subhanallah, there's so many opportunities that Allah subhanahu
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			wa ta'ala gave us to invest, and
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			leave a legacy behind us.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			Allahumma dammir a'da'ahum tadmeera.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			Allahumma dammir'hum tadmeera.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			Allahumma dammir'hum tadmeera.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			Allahumma khudhum akhda'azizum muqtadir.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			Allahumma aqith ikhwanana fi rubnan, wa fi sudan,
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			wa fi yaman, wa fi pakistan, wa fi
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			iraq, wa fi syria, wa fi kulli makan,
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			ya kareem, ya mannan.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			Allahumma ya rabbal alameen, atina fil dunya hasana,
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			wa fil akhirati hasana, waqina athab al-nar.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57
			Rabbana la tuzik qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana, wahab
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:00
			lana min ladunka rahma, innaka anta al-wahab,
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			wa qumu ila salatikum.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			Please come from the hallway in the two
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			rooms and fill up the main hall please.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:06
			Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:10
			I bear witness that there is no god
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			but Allah.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:21
			I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			of Allah.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			Come to prayer, come to success.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:38
			Come to prayer, come to success.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:45
			Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49
			I bear witness that there is no god
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53
			but Allah.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:35:11
			Allahu akbar, alhamdulillahi

			'Allah the Asr is in three minutes By
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			the time we are waiting for the Asr
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:15
			Subhanallah Subhanallah it's very sad that many of
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:20
			our youth are having doubt about their Deen
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:24
			Sometimes they inform you and many times they
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:29
			don't But Alhamdulillah at least they are trusting
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			the Shuyukh and they are coming and asking
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:37
			them instead of asking strangers Questions Why did
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			Allah create the non-believers if he is
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			going to throw them in the * fire
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:45
			anyway Why did Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam marry
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			a six year old Why did Rasulullah Sallallahu
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			Alaihi Wasallam copy the Quran from the previous
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:55
			religions And many many other questions that they
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			have so much doubt And if you go
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			to the internet to get the answers you
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			not get the right answers So Insha'Allah
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:07
			on December 14 I have invited some scholars
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:11
			to tackle literally these questions And we are
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13
			going to send a survey to the community
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			That all the youth in the community will
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			send all their questions And then we will
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:20
			pick 10-12 most common questions And we
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			will present them to the Shuyukh on December
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:27
			14 So please mark this date and bring
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:30
			your children Whether you think they have doubt
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:34
			or not I was telling the brothers two
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			days ago that when I was in Hajj
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			A brother called me from the community and
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			he insisted He said no I have to
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			talk to you my son just left Islam
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:49
			And Subhanallah like another brother told me He
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:52
			said I would rather get a message that
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:55
			my son died Than to get a message
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:59
			that my son left Islam May Allah protect
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:02
			all our children May Allah keep them steadfast
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			on their deen Always bring them to the
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			masajid Bring them to the classes, bring them
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:09
			to the halaqas Even though maybe they do
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:12
			not understand But trust me the environment itself
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:15
			will help a lot And don't say oh
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:18
			he is only 5, 6, 7, 8 Trust
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			me they start from that age When they
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:23
			become older They will make dua for you
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			That you are the one who made them
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28
			from the people of the masajid Okay we
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:34
			are going to change the mu'adhin Do
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:35
			you want to make adhan?
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			His brother will make it inshallah
