Mustafa Khattab – 14 Allahs Attributes AlAlim Ii

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.
