All praise is due to Allah subhanahu wa

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

ta'ala.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

We praise him and we seek his forgiveness

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

and assistance.

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

We take refuge in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

from evils of ourselves

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

and we seek him we seek his guidance.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Whomever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guides, there is

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

none to misguide him. And whomever Allah leaves

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

to go astray, there is none to guide

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56

him.

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

We bear witness that there is none worthy

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

of our worship except Allah

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

and we bear witness that Muhammad

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

is the seal of the prophets

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

and

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

O you who believe,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

fear Allah and his messenger is indeed

00:01:48 --> 00:01:48

successful.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

Indeed, the most truthful word is the book

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the Quran.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

And the best guidance is the sunnah, the

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

way of life, the guidance of the prophet

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

salallahu alayhi wasalam.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

And every newly invented manner in this religion

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

is an innovation,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

and every innovation is a misguidance, and every

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

misguidance is in the hellfire.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

I advise you and myself to fear Allah

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

and to obey him

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

and respect

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

his teachings and to be obedient to him

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

at all times.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

Today inshallah we'll talk very briefly

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

about

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

the good ending of somebody's

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

life.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

When we grew up,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

when we saw

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

series on TV or movies or read read

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

books and stories,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

we always liked the good endings of a

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

story. If a story ended a good in

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

a good way,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

this is a good story. If the end

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

is good, then everything else is good because

00:03:17 --> 00:03:17

the ending

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

is what you remember from the story.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

But if the ending is bad of the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

story,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

then the whole story is is messed

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

up. What is this story we are talking

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

about is your own story, your life?

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

What if the ending of your life is

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

good? And what if the ending of your

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

life is evil?

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

Because in Islam,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

part of our judgment on the day of

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

judgment,

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

is what was your actions

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

during the last part of your life?

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

How your life ended?

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

Did it end in worshiping Allah

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

Did it end in asking for forgiveness

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

in good deeds?

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

Or did it end while you were doing

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

evil deeds or before you made tawba or

00:04:09 --> 00:04:09

sifar

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

from the evil you have done in this

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

world? So this is basically

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

the topic for today.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

Or the good ending of somebody's life

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

is

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

when you die

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

after doing something good to Allah

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

like Hajj or fasting or prayers or

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

sifar to Allah

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

This is a good ending

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

and this should give good news for the

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

person or the believer that Allah

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

is pleased with him and for him is

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

a pleasure in Jannah.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

And the opposite is true.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

Imam Ahmed narrated in his collection of Hadith

00:04:55 --> 00:04:55

of the prophet

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

His servants,

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

He uses him.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

So the companions of the prophet

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

said, how can Allah use a person?

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

So the prophet said,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

Allah

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

will guide the person or he will make

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

it easy for him or her to make

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

something good or to make good deeds before

00:05:32 --> 00:05:32

his death.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

In his book

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

Akham al Janayid, mentioned about 20

00:05:41 --> 00:05:41

signs

00:05:42 --> 00:05:42

of

00:05:43 --> 00:05:43

the

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

for a person that the good ending of

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

a person there are 20 signs for this

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

good ending of a person's life, and

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

this will give him an indication

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

of where his place will be in the

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

day of Jannah, which is Jannah.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

And we will mention

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

some of them, not all of them insha

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

Allah.

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

The first one is the

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

or the good news that the person receives

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

from the angels at the time of his

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

death.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

You will feel something.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

Those who have said that our Lord is

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

God, is Allah.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:49

Then

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

then they lived a life of uprightness,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

a life of righteousness.

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

Upon their death, the angels will descend upon

00:07:00 --> 00:07:00

them

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

and tell them,

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

today there's no fear or greed for you.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

And for you are the good news of

00:07:12 --> 00:07:12

Jannah,

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

the paradise you have been promised.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

And according to the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

scholars of,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

this is what the angel say to the

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

person upon his

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

death and in his grave and on the

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

day of judgment.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

So

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

once a person dies,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

he will get these good news all the

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

way

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

till

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

Muslim collected in their collections of a hadith

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

that Aisha

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

said that the prophet said,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

The 2 ever likes

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

to meet Allah

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

to meet his creator on the day of

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

judgment,

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

Allah would like to see him and to

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

receive him.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

And whoever dislikes,

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

whoever hates to see Allah

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

on the day of judgment because of his

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

evil deeds,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

Allah will hate to see him and to

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

receive him.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:21

Said,

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

Is it because of the people the people

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

hate death that they hate to see Allah

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

All of us hate death. There's no one

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

who likes

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

death.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

The prophet

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

said this is not what I mean.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

When the believer

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

is given the glad or the good news

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

of the Jannah, the pleasure, the forgiveness of

00:08:58 --> 00:08:58

Allah

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

He wants

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

and he is looking forward to meeting Allah

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

and Allah likes to meet him. And the

00:09:07 --> 00:09:13

person who has done evil deeds or a

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

disbeliever, who

00:09:15 --> 00:09:15

expecting

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

evil

00:09:26 --> 00:09:26

and

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

expecting

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

evil and punishment and humiliation in the life

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

to come. He doesn't want to die because

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

he knows once he dies, the punishment

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

will start. So he doesn't want to meet

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

Allah

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

And therefore, Allah doesn't want to meet him.
