So according to the medical school,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

according to the majority of the scholars, there

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

is no minimum time for after tax. So

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

if you come to the masjid to pray

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

Aisha and Tamir, and shut on one, and

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

you have the intention of after pass, inshallah

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

will give the reward of

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

In the past 2 days, we spoke about

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

the things some of the things that bring

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

you closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

And we said that the first of them

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

is knowledge. You have to have knowledge.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

And the second one is to have a

00:01:22 --> 00:01:22

good company.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

They will always motivate you. They will always

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

guide you to get closer to Allah Subhanahu

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

Wa Ta'ala. But the bad company, they will

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

always turn you away.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

So in the past 2 days, we spoke

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

about knowledge, and we spoke about good company.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

Today, inshaAllah, we'll talk about

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

the detachment

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

or the attachment to this life. And this

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

is the biggest problem for many of us.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

We are attached to this life. Most people

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

that work for this life, but they don't

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

do anything for

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

There is nothing wrong in Islam.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

If you are the richest person on earth,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

if you have the fanciest cars or the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

biggest homes,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

and if you are rich. There is nothing

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

wrong with this, but you have to do

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

something for Aqdil as well.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

The life in this world is only a

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

transition. It's a very short life.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

And as we all say in Somalia

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

life is very short.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

And in order of Zendaghi the whole of

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

Tassaray, life is very short. Okay? So you

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

have to do something for the eternal life.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

You are here only for rest.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

The life in this world is only a

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

plantation for the next life. So you have

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

to do something for the next life.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

So Yusuf alaihi salaam and Dawud and Sulaiman,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

they were kings, they were rulers, but still

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

they were building something for the next life.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

Some people,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

they collect money from halal and from haram,

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

and at the end of their lives, what

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

do they take with them?

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

0.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

They have no pockets. The shrawaks and kevin

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

has no pockets. They leave all the money

00:04:11 --> 00:04:11

behind

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

for their children to enjoy, and they stand

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

the judgment

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

for it themselves, and they get punished for

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

it.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

What kind of life is this? You destroy

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

the next life, the eternal life, for just

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

a short life,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

and you work to make the life of

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

your children better and make your life miserable?

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

Do you know of anyone who took anything

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

with him when he died?

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

Actually, I do.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

That if someone the person of them to

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

die will take half of the money and

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

half of the property.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

So they had a $100,000.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

So they swore to one another that,

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

in one of them, the Diasporas will get

00:06:04 --> 00:06:04

$50,000,

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

and they will put the money in his

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

place. And as you mature enough, the husband

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

dies first. Heart attack and blood pressure and

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

all that stuff. And the lady is healthy,

00:06:15 --> 00:06:15

Misha'Allah.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

So

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

the lady, because of the promise and all

00:06:20 --> 00:06:20

the old

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

she gave to her husband,

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

she said, I'm gonna give him half of

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

the money. I'm not gonna break my mouth.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

She wrote him a check. She put the

00:06:28 --> 00:06:28

$50,000

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

check-in his grave, and she she took the

00:06:31 --> 00:06:31

$100,000

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

for herself.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

And she never broke her oath. Right?

00:09:19 --> 00:09:19

Yeah.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

They asked me how do you feel when

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

you, do the translation back and forth, the

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

Arabic and English. I feel like this, a

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

blender in my head.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:29

A blend

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

all the time. But very briefly, there was

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

a man walking in Jasper, one of the

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

parks,

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

and the the the weather was so nice.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

He was looking at the mountain, the rivers,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

the canyon, and all that stuff.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

And all of a sudden, he saw a

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

lion. There are no lions in Jasper, just

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

bears. But the story says it's a lion.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

What do you want, man?

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

So the man started to run away and

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

he was so terrified for his life.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

And suddenly, he saw

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

a well, an old well. He jumped into

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

the well.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

And he

00:10:04 --> 00:10:04

he hold

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

tight to that rope in the well.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

And all of a sudden, he looked down

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

at the bottom of the well, he saw

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

a what? A snake. A huge snake.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

So he started to climb up. The lion

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

was up there

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

and he started to get down. The snake

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

started to move up to him. So he

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

started to swing from right to left. And

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

suddenly, he saw 2 mice, one black, one

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

white. They were chewing on the road to

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

make them fall.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

So suddenly he started to swing from right

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

to left, from right to left. And all

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

of a sudden, he he found something

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

sticky on the web of the, on the

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

wall of the web. He tested it and

00:10:44 --> 00:10:44

it was honey.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

It was honey. So he forgot all about

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

the mice, the lion, the snake, everything.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

And all of a sudden,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

he woke up from his sleep. He was

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

asleep. Okay? So he went through the Sheikh,

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

he told him the story, the vision, and

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

the Sheikh told him, you don't know the

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

interpretation of the dream? He said, no. He

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

said, subhanallah,

00:11:04 --> 00:11:04

the lion

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

is the angel of death

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

chasing you,

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

and the whale is your grave,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

and the wall is your life, and the

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

2 mice are the day and the night.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

The black and white mice the day and

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

night, and they are eating your life every

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

day and every night. And he said, what

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

is the the honey on the wall? He

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

said, that is

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

that is the honey is this dunim.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

You are deceived. You are attached to this

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

honey. You forget about akhil. You forget about

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

death. You forget about everything until you are

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

faced with the reality, which is death.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

The question for tomorrow.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

Someone is traveling from Edmonton

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

to Toronto.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

Oh my gosh. 1 hour before Berlin.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

And the flight between Toronto and Edmonton is

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

what? 4 hours. 4 hours.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

So the flight took off 1 hour before

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

valid. When and where should we break the

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

fast? If you know the answer, email me

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

before tomorrow, Asa, InshaAllah. Sorry.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

I broke.
