In the books of Khalafi,
Madhab, Imam Bawdhanifa.
So at the time of Mansur,
Khalifa and Mansur, he had a dream. He
had a vision.
And in that vision,
he saw Malakul Mote.
So in that vision of course he was
terrified if you see Malakul Maut
but he wanted to know when he was
going to die so he asked Malakul Maut
in the dream
when is my time? When am I gonna
die? So Malik al Ma'ud didn't talk to
him, he just did like this.
Okay, so he woke up,
again terrified, and he started to ask her
out who can interpret the dream for me?
What does that mean?
So they started to invite Al Aba and
scholars and Mawlana, and of course everyone is
a Mufti, so different people came, you know,
people off the street, and so on and
so forth. So the first guy said, you
will die after 5 minutes?
They looked, 5 minutes passed, nothing happened. Okay?
Throw him to the lines. No, they didn't
do that, but I'm using the artistic license.
Another guy said, well, 5 hours, 5 hours
passed, nothing happened. Another guy said 5 days,
another guy said 5 weeks,
5 months, 5 years, nothing happened. So the
urama'a said, why don't you ask Imam Abu
Hanifa?
So they invited Imam Abu Hanifa, and they
said we tried everything nothing worked.
So what does that mean in the in
in the dream? Malikul Maut. Fata'al Imam Abu
Hanifa.
He's not giving you the time, Malikul Maut.
He is telling you, this is one of
the 5 things that no one knows except
Allah.
In Allah Ayn Dahu al Musa at the
end of Surah Al Uthman
Allah
is telling us that there are 5 things
that no one except Him knows.
So don't ask. Even Malakkil Mo' doesn't know.
But when the order comes to go and
take someone's life, now this is the time
and he knows the time. But before that
Malik al Maut doesn't know.
And again the story is authentic, it's in
Tabatatul Rahnaf, in the books of Hanaf Ifilth,
they have this story to prove the hikma
of Imam Hazl al Abuh Hanif.
The reason I'm telling you the story because
we're still talking about Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Al Aleem, the all knowing. He knows everything,
including the 5 things that no one knows
except him.
I remember one of the students at Al
Azhar a long time ago,
he didn't study,
he used to go play outside, he didn't
study, so in the exam it says,
Ma'am Afatikrukh Al Ghaim Salati lahialamwahillallahu
What are the 5 keys of knowledge that
no one knows except Allah? So he put
in the answer,
If no one knows them except Allah, how
can I know them?
Well, you didn't study because they are mentioned
in Surah Al Uthman, right? So today we'll
talk about 1 of the 5.
One of the 5 which is the time
to go.
And the reason that I'm gonna talk about
this, no one knows the time to go
except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Don't say, when I'm 65,
when I retire I'm gonna go for Umrah
Hajj, I'm gonna read Quran, become Kabir ibn
Hajjaj, and make Tawba.
Yes, no one knows the time when you
will die except Allah. It could be tonight,
it could be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow,
after 10 years, no one knows.
So if this is the fact, why do
you delay Tawba?
And how much time does it take for
you to make Tawba? All of us are
we make mistakes day and night, we're not
angels.
It takes to say You Allah forgive me.
That's it, but don't delay.
The biggest problem is
il el amal. We think, my dad was
75 when he died,
so I think I'm gonna live 75.
It doesn't work like that. Right? Wallahi, I
have seen in my long career as an
imam, I'm
old. So I've been in this field for
about 11 years now, and I've seen 2
year old die,
12 year old die, 18 year old die,
22 year old die. If you go to
the, cemetery,
in Edmonton, Muslim Cemetery, most of the people
are buried there. They are youth.
17,
20, 25,
and so on and so forth. So there's
no specific time for death except the time
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has specified.
So then say inshaAllah, when I return I'm
gonna, you know, make tawbah, I'll go for
a Hajj, you never know, because your time
could be tomorrow or after 10 years, Allahu'ala.
You shouldn't delay it.
And SubhanAllah, when you read in Islamic tradition,
when the time comes, you go. If Allah
has written for you to die, no matter
what you do, you will die. If Allah
has written for you that you are not
dying this time, you will not die.
There was this accident in Edmonton many years
ago, there was a family in the car,
the father, the mother, and, 3 4 kids.
All of them died in an accident except
for the 2 year old. The youngest one
survived, but everyone else died.
You read about Khaled ibn Walid
Everyone knows Khalid ibn Walid is the only
commander in chief, the only military
leader in history who has never been defeated.
He's the only one. If you think of
any other military leader, they were defeated at
some time.
Before Islam, he was never defeated. He fought
a 100 battles.
Before Islam and after Islam.
And the only reason why Muslims didn't win
at the battle of Uhud was because of
him. He was never defeated before Islam, he
was never defeated after Islam,
and he died on his bed.
A natural death, you see? And he fought
groups
and armies that were hundreds of times bigger
than his army.
Including one time, you see, SubhanAllah, before Islam
he was trying to kill Muhammad SAW, like
with the people of Mecca, and after Islam,
after the death of the Prophet
SAW, they say that he loved Muhammad SAW,
so much, that he kept one hair from
the beard of Muhammad SAW, in a small
box, that he kept in his turban, his
imama and shield for for the battlefield.
And in one of those battles,
someone hit him with a sword, so his
turban fell down
with that hair of the Prophet SAWAYAM, so
Khalid ibn Walidu Alaihrullah Anhu, he threw down
his sword,
he had nothing to do with the fight,
and he went to save that head of
the Prophet SAW.
And the swords were around him, but he
didn't die.
SubhanAllah.
Now look at this example, he fought a
100 battles,
and he was in the middle of the
fight, bigger armies, swords were around him, and
he didn't die. He died an actual death
on his bed. You see someone,
and this is a true story,
someone who didn't like to fly. A lot
of people they have this phobia, they can't
fly. A farmer,
and SubhanAllah he died in a plane crash.
The plane crashed, he was working in the
field, it fell on top of him, and
he died.
You know.
Another guy in Japan,
he hated the sea, he couldn't swim,
and and he was in his apartment
in the building,
and he was killed by a boat.
During that tsunami,
it carried lots of boats, one of them
hit his building, and it killed him innocently
inside.
You see, and he was shying, both of
them were trying to protect their lives.
All the time. 1 of them didn't fly,
and the other one, didn't swim, but still
one died in a plane crash, the other
one was killed by a boat.
You alim halalayamna
al Qadr. No matter how you try to
protect yourself, it will never protect you, if
this is not the Qadr'Allah for you. And
so on and so forth.
So again, the point is, you never know
when death will happen. Right? So this is
why we need to be making Tawba, especially
in this month of Ramadan. Open a new
page with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So we
ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give you
a long and healthy life, and to give
you a life of Ibadah. The Prophet SAW
said, Khayun nasimantalaumruw
wahasulaamru.
The best among my Ummah are those who
live long, but their deeds are good. The
more you live, the more deeds, good deeds
that you do. So we'll continue this, line
of thinking tomorrow, insha'Allah. We ask Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala to give you a long life
in Reza'at InshaAllah. The question for last night,
we know in the Quran,
that believers will receive their Book in the
Right Hand, they will be desperate to take
it. When they see it coming, MashaAllah, they
jump to take it.
But in the Quran it says the Kafir
will take their book in the left hand,
but in another Ayah it says they take,
their book will come to thee from behind
their backs.
One says left hand, one says behind their
backs. How does it work?
The answer is, when the book comes to
them from their left hand, they don't want
to take it. They put their hand behind
their back, so the book gets stuck to
their left hand from behind. This is the
meaning of the Ayat in the Quran, and
the winner is, the winner is Ziyad ibn
Mustafa.
Takbeer!
Oh, inshaAllah. ShazakAllah.
He is my kid. But, with all honesty,
he gave the answer right after, I gave
the question, and he didn't share with Google,
anyone. He gave the answer. ShazakAllah.
ShazakAllah.
The question for tonight
I didn't help him. The question is, the
question is for tonight InshaAllah, in Surahood,
Nuh Harayhi Salaam was told
Fahm Al Fihah min kulin zawjayin iflani wa
Arak.
Take on the boat on the Ark to
save them, 2 of every species
and your family as well. But how come
Tughayat after his son drowned drowned in the
flood? His whole family should have been saved.
How do you explain this? One says that
your family will be saved, Tughayat later, your
his son died. How do you explain this?
If you know the answer, email me tomorrow
before Asin Insha'Allah at imamustafat anatoliacenter.ca.
JazakAllah Alaffair. Assalamu alaykum.
