Then my beloved mothers and sisters,
another very interesting point is
the hope in the mercy of Allah.
Like I said earlier,
personally,
we should be having hope in the mercy
of Allah. We are
human, we are mumineen, believers.
We have faith.
The fact that we are human, we sometimes
We make mistakes.
We sin sometimes, but we turn back to
Allah.
That's the difference between a believer and a
non believer. So I have hope in the
mercy of Allah that when I die, I'm
going to
by the mercy of Allah, by His mercy,
not necessarily by my deeds. My deeds are
nothing. Your deeds are nothing. Those are only
an attempt to please
Allah. The actual pleasure of Allah is what's
going to take you into jannah.
So if you have lost a loved one,
have hope that they have gone to Jannah.
Have hope that you are going to meet
them very, very soon. Did you know that
for them, time passes so fast?
But for us who are alive, time takes
long to pass.
Quick example is that of
2 people sleeping on a bed.
One has dozed off and the other one
is tossing and turning, and tossing and turning.
Before you know it, it's already 6 o'clock
in the morning, 5 o'clock in the morning,
the alarm rings, the one gets up, the
other one is like, I haven't slept.
This one says, oh, to me it felt
like 2 minutes. I'm already up.
And the other one says, what do you
mean 2 minutes? It's been 20 long hours.
Why? Because one was awake, one was asleep.
The same example happens when someone passes away.
You're on earth, time takes long
to pass. You've passed away. It's a few
moments and you're gonna be on the day
of Piyamah. Few moments. So don't worry. They're
in a good place.
Make dua for them.
Seek forgiveness for them. Do a charity perhaps
on their behalf.
Leave it in the hands of Allah. Don't
stress beyond that point too much
because it's not in your hands beyond that
point. You can do whatever you can do.
The rest of it, have hope in the
mercy of Allah. Allah will grant you. Allah
will open your doors for you.
Keep going,
and Allah Almighty will open door after door.
You'll see the goodness.
