Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah on Allah, he
was a B human Mala
Hamdulillah. We've just completed a brief Tafseer of Surah analogy
that and what I'd like to do is do a brief recap of the lessons that
we learned from the surah.
And these are some of the lessons that I derive from the surah. And
there are certainly many more
that we can derive if we sit and ponder for a while.
So lesson number one is that death is real and inevitable.
And its determination and knowledge is only with Allah azza
wa jal.
Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Surah Lokman were magically enough
sama that taxable vada vomited enough soon be a year didn't
emote.
In Allah, Allah Iman hubiera
that no one no person knows what it will earn for the morrow, for
tomorrow. And no person knows in what land he will die.
And indeed, Allah is all knower, and aware of all things.
So we have to always keep this in mind that everything that has been
given life will die. And it's not a matter of being depressed about
it, it's a matter of preparing for it. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam advises us to do.
He said, x through two a lot of remembrance of death, because it
then puts your life in balance by
giving you the true worth of the enjoyment, the law that the
enjoyment of this earth so it puts that in balance.
One day, and the young companion of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam,
Abdullah Abner Omar, Radi Allahu Anhu Uma, who is known because he
would imitate the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in in
the greatest details, said that one day the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam held him by his shoulder, and said to him, confit
dunya Gunda Calgary or Ouroboros a wheel, which means be in this
dunya
like you are a stranger, you don't belong here. As we've said before,
we are on a tourist visa, we don't belong here. So to be like a
stranger or be like a traveler, who's going to move on.
And Abdullah normally Allahumma added to this by saying that if
you reach the evening, don't expect to be alive in the morning.
And if you reach the morning, don't expect to be alive in the
evening. And he said, take from your health, for your sickness. In
other words, while you are healthy, take advantage of it to
do the deeds that you would not be able to do if you are sick and
disabled and unable deeds obviously for your aka that will
be a value and he said and take from your life for your death. In
other words, while Allah has given us this life, we have to use it to
our maximum advantage
to be positive.
For our when we are dead and we are no longer able to do anything.
So I and you have to prepare for death every day today.
Ali or the Allah one gram Allah who said that the hereafter the
Aurora is traveling towards us. And he said this life is traveling
away from us. We are moving forward in time with no pause and
no respite. We're leaving this life behind and we are moving
forward after us drawing clear to us so he said so be the children
of the author of the Hereafter, and do not be the children of this
dunya
because he said for today is a day for homily for action, without his
help without accountability. And tomorrow will be a day of hisab of
accountability with no ability to do any action.
And see the northmen or the Allah Han said to us, he said don't
forget the angel of death because he does not
forget you.
He does not forget you.
Evening evening Josie
Baghdadi scholar who died around the year 1200 to 12 101 said, he
said the ship of your life is approaching the coast of the
graveyard.
The ship of your life is approaching the coast of your
graveyard. What is the matter with you, that you are busy inside the
ship, trying to acquire goods and set things right. In other words,
prepare for the landing in the graveyard.
And see it as zani said something very beautiful. Also, he said, or
friend, the closet from which your coffin your shroud
will be cut may have already reached the marketplace. And yet
you remain unaware.
Think about it. I don't know that maybe that fabric in which I will
be shrouded has already been manufactured. It's already been
shipped, solid been received in that retail store from where it
will be purchased from which the shroud is going to be cut. So we
don't know. And therefore, a smart person prepares for that. So
that's Lesson number one, the inevitability of death for all of
us. And this comes from the mention of the nose out on
national pot and the angels were extracting the soul telling us
that there is no escape from this molecule note. The second lesson
that I derive from it is that likewise the pm the day of
judgment is real and inevitable and its determination and its
ultimate knowledge is only with Allah subhanaw taala also, that is
like a little preamble. rpmi will start or hereafter starts with
death even though piano maybe 1000 years from now or more. So, if
this piano as we know is a reality. In what condition do I
want to meet Allah subhanaw taala?
With what
provisions with what actions? Do I want to stand in front of Allah?
subhanaw taala
our mother Aisha Radi Allahu Allah
said and we had the privilege of standing before her about two
weeks ago, in genital burpy or the Allah Allah wa. She said, rasool
Allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever loves to
meet a loss hunted Allah, Allah subhanaw taala loves to meet him.
And whoever hates to meet Allah subhanaw taala Allah subhanaw
taala hates to meet.
And in her usual
quest questioning, interrogative and inquisitive manner that she
was that personality. So you're the eyeshadow of the Alana. She
said he also allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, all of us hate
death, and we are averse to it. We don't want to die. So how does
this?
How do we understand this hadith and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam said, You Aisha the Metro is not like this. What is meant by
this is that when a believer is given the glad tidings of the
Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala, his forgiveness, His pleasure, his
Paradise, he loves to meet Allah subhanaw taala and He lovingly and
willingly gives up his soul, and Allah loves to meet him.
Similarly,
on the other side, a disbeliever when he is given the news of the
punishment and the anger of Allah subhanaw taala the hardships that
will be imposed on him, he hates to meet Allah Subhana Allah and
Allah subhanaw taala hates to meet him.
So I have to determine where do I want to be?
The third lesson that I derive from this is that the true belief
in a piano is not just a claim. I mean, you can ask any Muslim Do
you believe in the piano? They have judgment, they will say yes.
But does my life reflect that I am preparing to meet Allah subhanaw
taala at any moment? Or does my life reflect that I am
working on the premise that I'm going to be here in this dunya
forever.
So what do my actions reflect of where my preference where do I
give preference in my life in my actions?
The fourth lesson is the characteristics of the people of
Jahannam and the people of Jana.
Allah subhanaw taala as defined in the Surah, the characteristics of
the people of Jannah he says for mmm and Baba Arthel adhere to
dunya the one who transgressed violated all the limits. And he
manifested that by showing a preference for the life of this. A
preference didn't deny it, but his actions were showing that his
focus was the dunya.
The end the abode of this person is Jana. Similarly, the
characteristics of the person who is destined for Jana are also
defined in the Surah. Amendment half I'm a camara Bahai. When a
Hanif sir, I will have
and the person who was afraid that he had to stand in front of Allah
subhanaw taala, and therefore he prepared for it. And in that
preparation, he denied the desires, the evil inclinations
that went against Allah subhanaw taala as commandments, he was
tempted. He had, he saw the people so called enjoying these things.
And he held himself bad he had suffered, and he denied his
knifes, this is a personal agenda. Again, I need to see what
characteristics do I have? Where do I belong?
The fifth is a essential, strengthening and reassurance for
all of us because we also live in difficult times, with difficulties
and persecution of Muslims worldwide. Then we hear all of the
stories of what's going on in in lands like China and India and
elsewhere.
We must remember that in the end, we learn from the story of Musa
alayhis salam and found in the story of the Koresh, that victory
in the end is for the truth, that Islam will triumph and that true
Muslims will prevail. In the end, the timeframe is determined by
Allah subhanaw taala. So we should never feel depressed, we should
never get discouraged, no matter how unlikely this seems. Or even
if it seems impossible, because we look at the surface of what's
going on how things appear in this dunya don't get depressed, because
we are on the right, and we will prevail.
And again, when we read the story of Iran and Musa alayhis salam,
and we read this over and over again, in multiple Jews of the
Quran, we should not read it like a story or just for simple
condemnation of Iran.
He got what he got, and he will get in the Afra what Allah has
promised him
but which when we read the story, we should also reflect internally
to determine if I have my own internal little Fairholme, or big
throne.
And how often does my internal throne rebel,
the hall
and underbara turn his back to the call of Musa de Sena
to the call of rasool Allah salah, lightest, ultimately to the call
of Allah azza wa jal to purify myself to obey Allah Subhana Allah
to acknowledge Him as my Lord.
We must remember that every time I knowingly disobey Allah subhanaw
taala and I reject or ignore His commandments,
my internal frown, my lower knifes has its own way, in its own way,
has declared an Anna Anna rubber Kamala
as for onset, in other words, I am taking my knifes as my as my ILA.
So we must remember that this is a form of ship every time we disobey
in its own way. And we must be very careful May Allah Subhana
Allah protect us.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from ourselves, our
lower knifes our disobedience, and our tendency to rebel.
In conclusion, my dear brothers and sisters, all of the Quran is
for the purpose of transformation of our lives. When I read the
Quran, it should be to transform my life, to bring my life in
conformity to Allah subhanaw taala his commandments and prohibitions
to be his true Khalifa on earth, and to worship him as his true abd
reading of the Quran and studying of the Quran is not meant as an
academic exercise, because the Quran will be a hedger and
evidence against us or in our favor
our defense attorney or our prosecutor.
So, this surah is another strong reminder to me to seriously look
at my life to analyze the worth of my life, the way I have led it
through the lens of the reality of the
the surah reminds me to make those necessary corrections. Now,
without delay while I still have time to reset my priorities. What
do I give preference to to make Toba to Allah subhanaw taala to
renew my covenant with Allah subhanaw taala to learn my day
into practice my day, I need to make sure that my life is one of
obedience and not disobedience. And there is no defiance in my
life. No matter how I justified by saying that I'm busy or I'm weak
or somebody Allah will give me Tofik these are not valid excuses.
So we need to talk to Alas, Pata line manager at and we need to
make a lot of dua to Allah subhanaw taala we need to repent
to Him insult true Toba and we need to ask him for his help and
strength
to strengthen our iman and your pain, and we ask Allah subhanaw
taala fourth Tibet, for steadfastness in our journey to
him and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to purify our lower NuForce
from his desires. And we ask Allah for Allah to change our character
to the best of character, the best of luck but reflects this default
of Allah subhanaw taala and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us a
life that is full of obedience to Him, and not just Partial
obedience because Allah subhanaw taala considers Partial obedience
or partial acceptance of His commandments. Equivalent to cover
up because he says after treatment will not be bad if Kitabi were
tactful will not be bad for managers. Oh my god. Yes. Hello,
Dolly. Come in. Come on Phil hired to dunya a yarmulke. Yeah, mighty
Euro Duna Illa Asha della the coma law will be awful in a month time
alone. Last one. And Allah says, then how is it that you believe in
part of the Scripture and you reject the rest? What is the
consequence of this? What is the verdict for something like this?
He said,
Excuse me.
So then what is the recompense for those who do so among you, except
disgrace in this dunya in the life of this world, and on the Day of
Resurrection, a shed the law that they will be consigned to the most
grievous torment and Allah is not aware of what you do. So we need
to ask Allah subhanaw taala for a life that we lead that He is
pleased with, when we meet in a meeting with him that I look
forward to where he looks forward to meeting me because he is
pleased with me.
It's such a beautiful feeling to know that Allah subhanaw taala,
who already knows what we are going to say to him.
He patiently awaits us, and he listens to us and he responds to
us. He is
Subhanak Allahumma overhand ik I shall do Allah Eli, let's stop and
go on to boo Lake. wa salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
