00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			Brothers and sisters, we have a funeral prayer
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			straight after the Jummah prayer.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So please, don't pray your sunnahs, just wait,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			and inshallah, the funeral prayer is straight after
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			the Jummah prayer.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Jazakumullah khair.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:51
			Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:58
			Allahu Akbar I bear witness that there is
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:05
			no god but Allah I bear witness that
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:14
			there is no god but Allah I bear
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:20
			witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:28
			I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			of Allah
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:59
			I
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			bear witness that there is no god but
		
00:05:00 --> 00:07:08
			Allah And
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			it is through this piety and this taqwa
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			that we gain in this world and gain
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			in the next world.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			We will do good in this world and
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			we will do even better in the next
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			world.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions that when
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			you are pious and you have taqwa, that
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			Allah will give you a way out of
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			your difficulties.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			That Allah will open doors for you and
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			give you a way out of your problems.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا That Allah
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			will forgive your sins and expiate them.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهُ
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			أَجْرًا That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			allow you to know right from wrong and
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			make it easy for you to distinguish falsehood
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			from that which is right and upright.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			وَمَن يَتَّقُ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ فُرُقَانًا May Allah
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			subhanahu wa ta'ala make us among those
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			that are pious and have taqwa in this
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			world and those that benefit from it in
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			the next world.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			Ameen.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			My brothers and sisters, in this world, as
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			we live day by day, our days are
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			numbered.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			Not only are they numbered, we don't know
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			how long we have.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Each one of us, there is a day
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			that we will perish and die.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			That could be today, that could be tomorrow,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			that could be in a week, in a
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			month, in a year, in several years.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			We do not know when it is.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			And there is a question that we have
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			to ask ourselves all the time.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			Are we prepared for that eventuality when we
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			pass away?
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			And what have we done to ensure that
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			our good deeds are more than our bad
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			deeds?
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			That what we call it for us is
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			more khair than it is sharr, more good
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			than it is evil.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			That we have fulfilled our obligations, that we
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			have amassed enough reward to gain Jannah and
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			And we know, my brothers and sisters, that
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:52
			the day you die, your actions and your
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			deeds will stop.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنسَانِ إِن قَطَى عَمَلُهُ When the
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			human, the person dies, their deeds stop.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			There is no more subhanallah that you can
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			say.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			There is no more salah that you can
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			pray.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			There is no more charity that you can
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			give.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			There is no more Quran that you can
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			recite.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			There is no more umrah that you can
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:13
			go to.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			It is over.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			And this is something that we have to
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			live with.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Now you have the chance.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			Now you have the chance to pray tahajjud.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			Now you have the chance to repent from
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			your sins.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			Now you have the chance to give sadaqah.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			Now you have the chance to make hajj
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			and umrah while you are alive, benefit from
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			it.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			Especially charity, because Allah mentioned in the Quran
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			that those that die and their ajal comes,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ When their ajal comes, Allah
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			of the most say, that they wish they
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			could come back فَأَصَّدَّقَ so that I can
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			give more charity.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			However, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is Rahmanun
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54
			Rahim.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			Allah is the most merciful, the giver of
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:57
			mercy.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has even opened
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05
			up opportunities for those that have passed away.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			And there are ways that your deeds can
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			continue after your death like the Prophet salallahu
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			alayhi wa sallam told us in the hadith,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			that is Sahih Muslim narrated by the great
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			companion Abu Hurayr رضي الله عنه where he
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			said, إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنسَانِ قَطَى عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِن
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			ثَلَاثَةٍ Indeed, when the person dies, their deeds
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			stop, except for three types.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			And the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:26
			three things.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			The first one was صَدَقَةٌ جَارِيَةٌ The second
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			one was عِلْمٌ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ And the third
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			one was وَلَدٌ صَالِحٌ يَدْعُولَهُ A charity that
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			is ongoing, knowledge that is benefiting others, and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			a righteous child that makes dua for you.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			I want us to focus on these three
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			points, my brothers and sisters.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			This is a way for you to invest
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			for your akhira.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			I want you to just think about this
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:52
			right now.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			Right now, if your life were to come
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			to an end, how much صَدَقَةٌ جَارِيَةٌ do
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			you have at this very moment?
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			How much knowledge have you propagated?
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			Or been the cause of its propagation?
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			How much صَدَقَةٌ جَارِيَةٌ have you invested in?
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			Any wells?
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:11
			Any mosques?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12
			Any mushafs?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Any waqf projects?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:14
			Have you done that?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:20
			Are your children raised in a manner where
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			you are sure or it is likely that
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			they will remember you in their duas?
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			This is what you need to think about.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			How often do we come to this masjid?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			How often do we pray in this masjid
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			and every Friday we are here?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			There are people that took part in the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			creation of this masjid.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			Setting it up.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			It's build work.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			The walls.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			The carpet.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			The rent.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			The purchasing.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			Some of them have passed away.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			If not many of them have passed away.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			And every time you come here and you
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			pray, there is some reward that is going
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			to them.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			Every time you come in and pray, there
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:05
			is some rewards.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			These mashafs that you see, there are people
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			that were the cause of it that we
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			read in Jumu'ah.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			No doubt many of you here were reading
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			Surah Al-Kahf before the khutbah started.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			The Quran that you were reciting from the
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			mushaf.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			Someone brought it into the masjid.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			And they are reaping those rewards.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			In sha Allah.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			They are reaping those rewards.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			Every masjid you've ever prayed in, people were
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			involved in setting it up.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			Every musalla, every masjid, every mushaf, all these
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			ibadat that you see.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Every time there are people, there are wells
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			of water that are being drank from.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			And the people that set them up have
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			long perished.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			But the reward is going for them.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Should we not be thinking the same way?
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			And similarly my brothers and sisters, there are
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			people that have died and there is nothing.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			All they have is the deeds they died
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			with.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			No children making dua for them.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			No knowledge that they have propagated or taught.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			No charity that they have been involved in
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			that is ongoing.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			That's it for them.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			truly their deeds, just what they died with
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			and that's all they have.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			That should not be our fate.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			That should not be what happens to us,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			my brothers and sisters.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			So stop planning now, since you do not
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			know and I do not know when our
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			end is going to be.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			Repent from the many sins that you have
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			accumulated.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			Prepare for the hereafter and act upon this
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			hadith of the Prophet ﷺ starting with the
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			sadaqah jariyah.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			You don't have to invest a lot, but
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			invest in your akhirah.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			We plan for our lives as if we're
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			going to live forever.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			Wallahi you will not live forever.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			And we spend hours working, thinking of businesses,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			trading, waking up early, going to work, building
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			our businesses, and we will die.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			Our banks will have those same accounts and
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			the money will be there for your family
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			to inherit and you will die.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			Think about that.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			When you are in your grave, what do
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			you want to go with you?
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			Think about that.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			Think about the fact that there is a
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			likelihood that you have more sin than good
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			deeds and that you'll die upon that.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			And if it isn't for Allah's mercy, you'll
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			be held accountable for your sins.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			But imagine you ensure that you invested in
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			your akhirah.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			And over time, 10 years, 20 years, 100
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:47
			years, 1,000 years, that now all of
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			a sudden those good deeds are ongoing.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			Those wells that people pay money and they
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			are built all over the world.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Wallahi it's not just the people that drink
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			from it, the animals, the birds that drink
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			from it.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			There is khair and reward coming to the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			person that took part in it.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			This is the rahmah of Allah.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			You can ensure that your reward continues.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			So invest in the sadaqah jariyah.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a, he came
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			to Prophet ﷺ after khair.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			And he said, Ya Rasulullah, this land that
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			I have is the most beloved to me.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			And the Prophet ﷺ said to him, Put
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:21
			it, make it waqf.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:22
			Ihbisha.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			Make it waqf.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			So that other people can benefit from it
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			and the reward can come to you.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			Ongoing reward.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			Ongoing ajr.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			And the best type of sadaqah, my brothers
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			and sisters, is saqyulma.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			It is to give water.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			So the next time you come across an
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			opportunity to dig a well, and we know
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			there are certain countries that are deprived, that
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			are struggling, that raise their hands to Allah
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			every single day and you could be the
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			answer to their dua, if Allah makes you
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			the means.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			And not only can you then help them
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			and do that which Allah loves the most.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			Allah loves the most when we put happiness
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			and joy in the hearts of believers.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Not only do you put joy and happiness
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			in them, where maybe they had to walk
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			so far for water, and now it's closer.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			They can drink from it, the children can
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:12
			drink from it.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			But not only that, if you die, that
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			reward continues and continues.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			Sadaqah jariyah, my brothers and sisters.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			Do not let that opportunity go to waste.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			Do not let that opportunity go to waste.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			From today, start planning.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			Even if it's something small, it is not
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			about the amount, it is about the intention,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			it is about the fact that it's ongoing
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			and people are benefiting.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			And it's important also that we, when we
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			hear the word sadaqah jariyah, that we understand
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:37
			what it means.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			It's not just wells, it could be hospitals,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			it could be anything, it could be orphanages,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			anything that's going to continue benefiting people generation
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			after generation, take part in it.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			It doesn't have to be a lot of
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			money, but get into that mindset, invest in
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			your akhirah.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			Invest in your akhirah.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			The second thing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			sallam said, is the ilm yuntafa'u bihi.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			Knowledge that is benefited from.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			In another area, knowledge that is acted upon.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Each one of us here, and I want
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			you to think about this.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			Who taught you surah al-fatihah?
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			Who taught you ayat al-kursi?
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			Who taught you how to pray?
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			There is someone there that will come to
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			your mind.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			Maybe it was a parent, maybe it was
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			a teacher, maybe it was a mentor, whoever
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			it was.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			If you're a convert, who called you to
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:23
			Islam?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			That person has done such a great service,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			not just to you, for what you know,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			but every time you recite, every time you
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			pray, that reward goes to them, even if
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			they've passed away.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			And you want the same.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			You want the same.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			So, if you have knowledge, spread it.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			This doesn't just have to be something that
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:46
			you teach someone.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Nowadays, the way to spread knowledge are many.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			How many of you get a WhatsApp message?
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			You get a WhatsApp message that reminds you
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			to do something khair.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			And then you know what?
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			It is the last hour of Jum'ah,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			let me make some dua.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			Someone sent that, someone wrote that.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			Thousands of people are seeing that and then
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			they will make dua.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			And not only will they make dua, now
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			they build that habit, and they're doing that
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			because someone decided to spread that knowledge.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			I just talked about Abu Hurairah's hadith.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			How long ago did Abu Hurairah die?
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			How long ago did Abu Hurairah die?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			When we are now saying here, after a
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			thousand and four hundred years, we are saying
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			Abu Hurairah said that the Prophet shallallahu alaihi
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			wa sallam said that when a person dies,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			their deeds, we mentioned in the hadith, he
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			chose to share that to his students.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			And today, after more than a thousand years
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			of his passing, in a khutbah, in a
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			country far away from the one he was
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			born in, thousands of people are listening to
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			that same very hadith.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			And if we stop acting upon that, that's
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			a portion of the reward going to Abu
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Hurairah in his grave.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			This is what it means to spread beneficial
		
00:18:59 --> 00:18:59
			knowledge.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			Each one of us knows something.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Spread the knowledge.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			It could be that you purchase books for
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			those that learn.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			It could be that you support madrasas.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			It could be that you sponsor a student.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			It could be different ways.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			It could be that you teach your children.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			علم ينتفع به Think about that my brothers
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			and sisters.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			This is something that will continue ongoing for
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			you even after your passing.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And the most beloved deed to Allah SWT,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			generally speaking, the most beloved deed after the
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:34
			obligations is the seeking and the acting upon
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			ilm and knowledge.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			So again, change your mindset.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Start thinking, what are some other ways I
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			can invest in khair, in my akhira, in
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:43
			my hereafter.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:48
			علم ينتفع به And then finally, the Prophet
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:53
			ﷺ said, ولد صالح يدعو له A righteous
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			child that makes dua.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:20:00
			The ulama, they say, one of the signs
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			of righteousness is how often you remember your
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			parents in dua.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			One of the signs of salah and righteousness
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			is how often you remember your parents and
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			your grandparents in dua.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			How often do you remember them?
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Because if you're the one that's making dua
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			for them, then you are ولد صالح.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			And they benefit from that because no doubt
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:23
			they raised you.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			No doubt they taught you.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			No doubt that you remember them and you're
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			now asking Allah to show them rahmah and
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			mercy.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			And the Prophet ﷺ told us in a
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			hadith that there will be an individual on
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			day of judgment and he will see mountains
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			of good deeds and reward and he will
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			say, Where is this from?
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			Where is this from?
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			And he's told, This is the dua of
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			your children.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			This is the dua of your children.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم ولسائر
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			المسلمين من كل ذنب فاستغفروه إنه الغفور الرحيم
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			الحمد لله رب العالمين وبه نستعين على أمور
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			الدنيا والدين والعاقبة للمتقين ولا عدوان إلا على
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			الظالمين وصلى اللهم وسلم على النبينا محمد وعلى
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			آله وصحبه اجمعين My beloved brothers and sisters
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			We were going through the hadith of the
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم of the three
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:36
			types of deeds that are able to benefit
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			us after our passing The last one was
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			وَرَدْ مُصَالِفٌ يَدْعُو لَهُ A righteous child that
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			makes dua for you Immediately there you learn
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			the importance of to strive to have children
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			if it's possible To get married and to
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			have children and raise them right so that
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			they can be a source of goodness for
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			you That they can be a source of
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			goodness for you And that is where the
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			importance of having children and then raising them
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			right starts And this is why you'll find
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			in the Quran the prophets they would make
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			the righteous people for their children to be
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			rectified and to get righteous children not just
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			children but righteous children so that they can
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			then be a source of goodness for others
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			and for them as well It is also
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			important that we raise our children in a
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			manner and in a way where they understand
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			that the priority for us is not the
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			dunya but the akhirah and they are the
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			kind of children that when their parents pass
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			away they don't only think of inheriting the
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			wealth that their fathers and mothers have left
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			but rather how can I benefit them and
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			their akhirah How can I exemplify what the
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			prophet said of being a righteous child by
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			remembering them in my duas by doing waqf
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			projects for them by giving charity on their
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			behalf by paying off their debts by servicing
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			my parents that like Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:01
			'ala ordered me to do so and especially
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			be good to your parents You can be
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			good to your parents even after they have
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			passed away Something very small that each one
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			of us can do is that those among
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			us whose parents have passed away that you
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			make dua for them when you're making dua
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			for yourself Every time after salah or in
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			the evening or whenever you're raising your hands
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			you remember them You can do so much
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			for those that have passed away and generally
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			speaking the dua that we give why did
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			Allah mention the children particularly because it is
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			those children that tend to remember their parents
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			often but even if someone doesn't have children
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			there's a very powerful story by the great
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			scholar Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah rahmatullahi alayh
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			and this is actually an example of the
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			one that I gave before about knowledge Shaykh
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah rahmatullahi alayh did not
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			have any children He did not have any
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			children because he never got married and he
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			did have many students and the day he
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			died one of his students stood over his
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			body and looked and cried and said verily
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			you did not have any children but we
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			are your children we are your children and
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			what did they do they continued passing on
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			his knowledge they continued making dua for him
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			that is the power of knowledge that even
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			though ibn Taymiyyah had no regular legacy of
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:20
			children today again hundreds of years later he's
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			being remembered people are making dua for him
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			and benefiting from his works this is the
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			power that knowledge has it continues your legacy

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			in any case my beloved brothers and sisters
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			I want you to understand it is our
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			responsibility to plan for our akhira when a
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			man came to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			sallam and said when is the hour the
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam replied to him
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			what have you prepared for it so let's
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			prepare for our akhira by repenting from our
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			sins doing as many good deeds as possible
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			ensuring that our scales are filled with righteous
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			actions and that there is little sin there
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			because we are constantly repenting and that we
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			also plan that we can continue to gain
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			reward after our passing with the advice of
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:15
			as
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:36
			Allah
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			has commanded you Allahumma make us of the
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			righteous Allahumma honor Islam and Muslims and humiliate
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			the polytheists Allahumma humiliate the polytheists Allahumma humiliate
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			the polytheists and destroy the enemies of Muslims
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			O Lord of the worlds and the end
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			of our call is to praise the Lord
