I bear witness that there's none worthy of
our worship except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is
the seal of the prophets and the final
messenger to all humanity.
Whomever
Allah guides,
there is none to misguide.
And whomever Allah
needs to go astray,
there is none to guide.
My heart is broken, and my eyes are
tearful
for the loss of brother Abu Dawid.
He was an excellent brother,
a great helper in Dawah, and a servant
of the Muslim community.
My heart is not broken because he passed
away because now we know that he is
in the grace of Allah
But
the reason is I'm not going to see
him again in this dunya.
And our solace, our hope that we'll be
together in the mercy and agenda of Allah
in the next life.
And knowing him personally, I know he was
a good brother who was coming to the
masjid all the time and the other masjid
in the city,
and he was a good Muslim, alhamdulillah. So
this is a good sign of the end
of somebody's life.
So Allah
has written
the time you're going to live in this
India and the time you are going to
die.
Everything is written. We don't know when, but
Allah
knows.
When your time comes,
you just go and leave this to you.
There's no way you can delay it or
hasten it. It is not allowed.
As long as the time comes, you just
go.
And then, Ravallala, I gave the story of
a person
in Egypt back in 1992,
and the story was lower than news. He
was a builder and a painter,
and he was building a house
and, you know, the system in in Egypt
and building and build high buildings, tall buildings,
and they have external
stairs
made of wood. So he was on the
8th floor on outside the building standing on
the stairs,
and the the earth had picked up. He
fell down from the 8th floor. He landed
on a pool of sand, a hill of
sand.
And he was safe, Alhamdulillah, not even a
scratch. And he was very happy. He's dancing
in the street, and he told his friends
that this is a happy occasion. I'm gonna
cross the street to buy some sweets to
celebrate.
He was crossing the street, a car hit
him, and he passed away.
20 minutes later. 20 seconds, not even minutes.
To a half a minute later,
because that was the right time. Doesn't matter
if you if you die by falling from
a building, you choke on food or die,
and you die because of a heart attack
or a car accident, this is not really
important. What is important is when the time
comes, you just leave.
A natural death, someone dies in their sleep
or they have a heart attack and dies,
they they don't suffer.
This is a natural death. Or,
a tragic death, a painful death.
And the scholars say this time is two
times.
It is either someone falls in the battlefield,
and this is shayid. We don't wash them.
We don't shroud them. We don't pray janazah
for them because they don't need our Shafaq.
The second type of shayid are those who
died a tragic death
in a car accident.
They died because of a stone in their
kidneys, because,
a lady was giving birth to a child,
somebody died by burning or drowning, or someone
dies in a collapse of a house. So
the prophet, salaam, when he was sent to
a hadith in buffani, listening to maybe in
other books, he said that these people are
shuhada martyrs,
but we watched him and we pray janaza
for them. So
So we know it from the brothers who
were there that,
brother Ahmed just prayed
Wednesday
and
and after he left a few minutes late,
he had the accident and he passed away.
So
the prophet says, if the last thing you
do in your life is an act of
worship or a good deed,
then inshallah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give
you Jannah, and this is
He will make it easy for you to
do something good. Salah,
haj, Ibad, and salatah. Then Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will try to take your soul right
after.
Then you go to Jannah. Straightforward.
The prophet
said,
if
you
give
that
charity,
salatah,
then you die right after, it goes to
Jannah.
Hadith is a Muslim
The scholars say that if someone dies a
good death, that they do something good like
salah, fasting, and zakah, and Hajj, and they
die after,
then the angels will come to you at
the time of death, and they will give
you the good news of Jannah. This is
in the Quran and in the Hadith of
the prophet. In the Quran Surah al Surah
al Surah al Surah, Allah
says, those who believe in Allah
and they live in a pride, a righteous,
and a decent
life, the angels will descend upon them at
the time of their death, and they give
them good use of jannah. So it's in
the Quran.
It is also in the hadith in hadith
narrated by Aisha radiAllahu anhu al Bukhari a
Muslim.
She said that the prophet
said, if you love to see and meet
Allah
after you die, Allah would love to see
you. If you don't like to see him
and meet him after death, he doesn't like
to see you. So Aisha radiAllahu anha said,
oh, prophetullah, are you talking about death? Because
quite frankly,
no one likes to die. So the pro's
law said, I'm not talking about death. I'm
talking about when it is time for you
to die. And
the
right servant, when they
in the righteous servants, when the angels come
to them and give them the use of
Jannah,
and then
Allah is happy and pleased with them, they
cannot wait to see Allah
Take my soul, please. I wanna see Allah.
But if it is someone else, someone who
is disobedient,
and the angels come to them
with gloomy faces,
and they give him the terrible news of
the hellfire and the punishment.
They don't like to see Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and they don't want to die. I
don't want to die
because they know what they they're going to
meet.
Number
1,
You have to take advantage of your life
before your death comes to you. We don't
know when it comes.
You you never know. We see a lot
of old people,
90 years old, they are very sick, and
they live a long life. And we see
young and healthy people, 20 years old, 30
years old, and the next day, they die.
So death has no age.
Always comes.
So you have to take advantage of this.
Don't wait
unless it is too late thinking that only
old people who are a 100 years old
with quarantine, no hair, the can. No.
We see youth dying every day. We we
see children dying every day. We see ladies
having miscarriages
every day. When you go to the graveyard
today, Abdullah Salatul Jum'ah, I want you to
go to the headstones
and read when the people were buried there
when they died, and how long were they
when they passed away. Most of the people
buried there are youth and children.
I'm not making this up. Check it out
yourself when you go. So the prophet says
in the authentic hadith al Sayyid Jema, take
advantage of 5 things before the coming of
5 things.
Take advantage
of your health before you fall sick,
and take advantage of your youth
before you grow old, and take advantage of
your life before you die, and take advantage
of your wealth before you become poor, and
take advantage of your leisure and free spare
time before you become busy.
Be wise, and you'll know why you are
here in this life, and this can come
anytime.
So you have to ask Allah
to forgive you day and
night. You are not better than the prophet
who was forgiven every day before and after,
but still he was asking Allah to forgive
him a 100 times every day, sometimes more
in other Hadith.
So you have to make tawba sh Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Number 3,
you have to judge yourself, and you have
to to be accountable and critical in your
actions in this life.
Ask yourself, why did I do this? Why
did I do that?
Number 3.
If you are not talking to one of
your brothers or one of your sisters or
you did someone something wrong,
call them up. Even if they are at
fault
and they did you wrong, there's nothing wrong
if you humble yourself to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala hoping to get the reward
and you call them. There's nothing wrong with
this. If you are not talking to your
brother or sister
because of a counseling or inheritance or whatever
money, then call them up, and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala will give you their word. If
you are neglecting the rights of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
haj, zakar, make sure you do all these
things. These are the rights of Allah, Subhanahu
Wa'ala, and the rights of the people. The
last thing I wanna say,
Al Wasayd.
The last thing I wanna say on the
things that will help you get prepared for
death in the time it comes,
that you do your will see it. The
final and the last well and testament. Prepare
it. And, inshallah, I've been working for several
months for the will see it in English
and in Arabic, inshallah, and we'll adopt it
at the rashiid and announce in a few
weeks, inshallah.
If you wanna get to a Rasayyah, fill
it off on the rashid and keep a
copy here and keep a copy with yourself.
In case something happens or you are a
single, then the masjid will take care and
call your family and make sure everything is
done in the right way.
After Barrik,
this brother, his name is Clement, and he
came and he took shahab. He accepted Islam,
and he said that the main reason he
accepted Islam is because of that intimidating movie
that came out 2 weeks ago. He has
been reading about Islam for some time, but
he said because of that movie, he was
motivated to read more. And within a week,
he accepted Islam.
And this is what I said last week
that when they try to vilify and attack
Islam, people buy Qurans,
buy books about Islam, they read, and they
accept Islam. Negative publicity.
The same day,
a person came at salatul al Hashah from
the south. He drove all the way here,
and he said that someone told him about
the film. He wanted to watch it with
his wife. Then he told his wife, why
don't we watch a movie like this? Why
don't we go to a masjid and talk
to Muslims about Muhammad and they teach us?
So he gave him, and then we gave
them dua material. And inshallah, they will be
coming back for a tour, and we teach
them more about Islam.
People are curious. People are ambitious to learn
about Islam.
So people are ambitious to learn about Islam,
and this is a golden opportunity to teach
people about Islam and about the Quran
For a whole week, I have been writing
this brochure
that will be sent to 500,000
homes in Edmonton and neighboring cities.
And I have a verse word, Sanusilaw insha'Allah
ilafun Sumi'at
So
when Allah the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
would ask me on the day of Jazil,
and I go hoping to to get the
Shaba'at and sujid from his khalfir.
What did you do when people attacked me
and they vilified my name? So I'll say,
oh, prophet of Allah, I took from my
time and from my money to create this
pamphlet and this brochure to defend you and
defend this land. So what about you?
Ask yourself this question. When the prophet salallahu
alaihi wasallam asked you on the day of
judgement, what did you do to defend him
and to teach people about Islam?
Tell him that I provided, and I suppose
some brochures
that would go to 500,000
small homes in Edmonton.
And Abu said, 2 brochures will cost 1
dollar. 50¢ for printing and,
distribution of these brochures. You can sponsor the
100 brochures,
$50,
200 brochures
for a $100,
more or less, whatever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
can help you with. This coming Jum'at, inshallah,
we're starting a fundraiser.
So if you want to sponsor on Friday
or you can start from today till next
Jum'at, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward you
for your generosity.
