You know, I've lived the life or if you were to ask someone, what do you consider his greatest success, depending on their inclination, I mean, if they're not believers at all, or if their belief is weak, or perhaps they may not believe in the hereafter or in preparation for the eternal life, for them, it would be materialistic things. And if you notice, a lot of people are drifting and shifting in that direction. But this pandemic has shaken people and brought them back to reality because life cannot be so short. There has to be something beyond that, you know, a child is born, you love the child, the child grows up in front of you speaks to you communicates with you builds a
relationship with you, you're emotionally connected, you're sometimes your spouse, you're physically connected, you're connected in so many other ways. And you know what, you cannot just disappear into thin air just because you've died, you know.

We belong to Allah and all of us will be returning to Allah subhanho wa Taala. May He bless us
