When you see the reward of the patients
that you bore because you were terminally ill,
you will say to Allah, why didn't you
keep me ill for a longer time? This
is an amazing
beautiful reward.
When you see the reward that Allah has
kept in store for you for standing at
night in prayer, for getting up against all
odds in the cold weather. You will think
to yourself, I should have done this longer
and I should have actually done this for
a longer time
and started earlier on in my life. May
Allah grant us a turning point in the
right direction. Ameen. So if you're not going
to make an effort, it's not coming. Allah
says,
Allah is the one who is with those
who do good. You want to do good.
You are really striving towards Allah. Make an
effort. It's not just lip service. Someone says,
my brother, when are you going to do
this?
Talking about something you're supposed to do. Let
me give you an example. When are you
going to quit smoking?
You say inshallah.
Insha Allah. You know what insha Allah means?
What does it mean?
If Allah wills. But the way you say
it
means a lot. Because if you just say
someone asked you, when are you gonna quit
smoking? You say, inshallah. That means I'm not
quitting smoking. That's what it means.
Because the way you said it, someone says,
when are you going to be dressed appropriately?
They say InshaAllah pray for me. I've had
kids who've come said make dua for me.
Make dua. You meet them a year later
even worse. What happened? Make dua for me.
Then you meet them a year later. Even
worse, they tell you, Sheikh, you're not making
dua. It's like you're blaming me because you
haven't come. Right? Come on. Come on, man.
You're blaming me. I'm sure if I see
them 4 years later, they're gonna say, Sheikh,
you didn't make Dua. Maybe we see them
in Jahannam. May Allah safeguard us. Well, we
probably wouldn't because we don't want to be
there. To see them in Jahannam, you got
to be there. Right? I always tell people,
when you say that guy's in Jahannam, this
guy's going to hell, that guy's going to
hell. You have to be there to have
known who's there. Come on, guys. Right? As
I don't doom people. You want to doom
them? You are doomed before them. But what
I mean is such a person might even
blame you to say you know what?
You didn't make strong dua for me. Look
where I am. That's not happening.
That's not happening.
No one is going to take the burden
of another. Each one of us, we're responsible
for our deeds. I'm responsible for mine. You're
responsible for yours. My brothers and sisters, this
is why you need to make the effort.
Don't you say inshallah.
Say I've left it. I've quit it. Here
it is. It's gone. I've stamped it. That's
again. Allahu Akbar.
again. Allahu Akbar.
