I bear witness that there is none worthy

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

of our worship except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

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

And I bear witness that Muhammad salallahu alaihi

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

wa sallam is the seal of the prophets

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

and the final messenger to all of humanity.

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

Whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides, there is

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

none to misguide. And whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

Ta'ala leaves to stray, there is none to

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

guide

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

alight.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

So today, inshaAllah, we'll talk about

00:01:27 --> 00:01:27

Jannah.

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

Is there anyone here who doesn't want to

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

go to Jannah?

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

I'm not gonna ask anyone to raise their

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

hands because I know every single one of

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

us would like to go to Jannah.

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

So now

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

the problem is, yes, we would like to

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

go to Jannah,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

but for you to go to Jannah, you

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

have to go through Al Mout. A person

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

has to dive first

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

to go to Jannah.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

If you'd like to go off the CN

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

Tower

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

to enjoy the beauty of Toronto, to say

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

the Lake Ontario, you need to take the

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

elevator

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

to go to the last floor to be

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

able to have this fantastic

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

view.

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

People are scared of the grave, they don't

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

want to die, but because they don't know

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

what to expect in the grave, right?

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

So, we agree that Jannah is the ultimate

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

place. This is the best place. And Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about Jannah in different

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

ways in the Quran. He describes the quality

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

of life, the food, the drink, the clothes,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

everything in Jannah.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

There are so many different descriptions, but I

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

think for me

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

the description that stands out as the best

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

is that,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

The people of Jannah, they really want to

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

leave and go somewhere else. So what does

00:02:40 --> 00:02:40

that mean?

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

Well, as I said,

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

in Duniya, you change your mind all the

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

time. Bad things happen all the time. Even

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

if you enjoy something, it's a temporary

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

enjoyment.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Right? Yeah. Let's say for example, I showed

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

everyone here in this masjid,

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

they're happy, they're dancing in the streets because

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

you can always fill up your tank

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

under $1 per liter. Right? At most gas

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

stations, 90 89

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

98¢

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

per liter. Right?

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

But the problem with that is, you will

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

be crying in 2 weeks when the prices

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

go up again to 1.35¢

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

per liter as it used to be a

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

few days ago. Right? So it's a temporary

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

thing.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

Some of us would get attached to a

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

person,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

your friends,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

your teachers,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

but at some point, they either have to

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

leave you, go somewhere else, or you have

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

to leave them and go somewhere else. Right?

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

So this is the quality of life here.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

You love someone so much, a relative or

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

a friend or someone,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

they either die and go to the next

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

life or you die and leave them behind.

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

So this is the quality of life in

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

this world. But with Allah

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

in Jannah, you

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

don't want to go anywhere else.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

And the reason why this description is so

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

amazing

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

is because think about it for a moment.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

Back in the 19 fifties sixties seventies, those

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

of you who are old enough, you remember

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

the phones, you know, the dial phones

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

0, 5,

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

4, you know, that was terrible.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

So now in the 19 nineties when Nokia

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

released their, you know, wireless phones with the

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

antenna, it was as big as a shoe.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

People were excited, they threw their tie phones

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

in the garbage, they were happy with their

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

phones the new ones, the big ones

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

then their phones they started to get smaller

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

and smaller

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

then you ended up with a touch phone,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

wireless and this is amazing Android and so

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

on and so forth.

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

So over time, people lose interest in something

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

and they look for something else because they

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

are bored with something, they look for something

00:04:44 --> 00:04:44

better.

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

You are desperate

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

to,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:48

rent

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

a townhouse.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

So after some time, you know, it's getting

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

small for the kids, the neighbors are complaining,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

I wanna move to a detached house or

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

semi detached house. You move to a semi

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

detached house, I wanna move to a detached

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

house.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

Move to a detached house, so I want

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

a bigger detached house. Because the person is

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

never happy, he's never satisfied.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

So you start with a manual car, and

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

you are happy because now you don't have

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

to ride your bike anymore. Now you use

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

the, you know, manual car, you are happy,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

excited. After a number of years, you are

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

bored of the

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

automatic, you know, the manual car, you want

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

to an automatic car. Right? So you're fed

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

up with a Fiat car, you want to

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

move to Dodge Caravan, now you want to

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

move to Toyota, you want to move to

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

Honda. People always lose interest and they will

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

want to do something better and something more

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

exciting. Right? People are never settled. People are

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

never satisfied. They lose interest, they give more,

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

so they want something better.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

But the interesting thing about Jannah,

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

Allah

00:05:50 --> 00:05:50

says,

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

Once you go there, you wouldn't want to

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

move somewhere else because this is the finest,

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

this is the ultimate place to be. Right?

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

So this is an amazing description of Jannah.

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

The Prophet SAW Alaihi Wasallam, he always made

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

dua for Jannah. Allahumayna saluka jannahatulmaqaraba

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

alayhi mikalu Muhammad. Even SAW Alaihi Wasallam

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

He was told that you will not be

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

in Jannah, you would be in Al Firdaus

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

Al Aala, the highest place of Jannah, but

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

still he was making du'a for Jannah everyday.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

And the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam alhadith

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

al Sahih asked one of the Sahaba,

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

So the Sahabi said, What do you say

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

in your dua? So the Sahabi said, You

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

Rasulullah, when I do my Itashahhul,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

before salam, I say, You Allah, give me

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

Jannah,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

and protect me from Jannah.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

So the Prophet

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

said, Yani hawwllahha wudendinu annawa Muha'al I and

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

Muha'al

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

and by extension all the other Sahaba. This

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

is what we pray for. We pray for

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

Jannah, and to be protected from their Jannah.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

So even the prophet

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

himself, and even the Sahaba, Abu Hasharim Jannah,

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

they used to pray for Jannah.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

Because they love it so much. They they

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

would like to be there.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

They want to move away from suffering and

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

pain, the difficulties that we see in in

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

this world. There's no justice here, there's suffering,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

but they want to move to that better

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

place with Allah

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

And Nabi

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

describes

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

Jannah in so many hadith

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

and he says, in Jannah,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

In Jannah,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

there are things that your

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

you know, your brain cannot comprehend.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

It's beyond your comprehension. They're beyond your imagination.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

Right? And Allah

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

himself says it in the Quran

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

You cannot

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

possibly comprehend

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

what Allah has prepared for you in Jannah.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

It's beyond we are not equipped to understand

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

what Allah has prepared for the believers in

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

Jannah. If you were to see Jannah

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

or understand what Jannah looks like, your brain

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

will probably explode

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

because you are not equipped

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

to think about these things. They are beyond

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

your comprehension.

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

But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks about Jannah

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

in very generic terms

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

to bring Jannah to our level of understanding.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

He talks about the rivers of honey, rivers

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

of this and that. He talks about clothes,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

in sundusin waistapratil

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

He speaks about the quality of life, He

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

speaks about food, but this is not actually

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

the reality of Jannah.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

For example,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:29

If Allah

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

were to speak for example about

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

cell phones in the Quran. I'm just giving

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

you an example, so don't you don't have

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

to shoot me. If Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

were to describe cell phones in the Quran,

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

and if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala were to

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

use

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

wireless internet,

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

or touch screen,

00:08:48 --> 00:08:48

or

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

router,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

or like you wouldn't know what Allah is

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

talking about. Like this is beyond you.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

Even if like a 150 years ago, you

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

would describe the top notch wireless

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

cell phone, touch phone

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

to Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of a

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

telephone himself,

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

his head would would have probably exploded because

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

he wouldn't know what you're talking about. What

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

is router, wireless,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

touchscreen? What is the what are you talking

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

about?

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

Right? So Allah

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

uses this, terminology

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

to bring the understanding of Jannah to your

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

level. But this is not actually the reality

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

of Jannah.

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

Allah

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

is bringing it down to our level understanding,

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

but Jannah is beyond this.

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

Even in Surah inshallah

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

calls it indescribable.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

There there are no words that can describe

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

how beautiful Jannah is.

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

The prophet says in the hadith al Zahir

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

Muslim that Jannah has a 100 levels. There

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

are a 100 levels in Jannah.

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

And the prophet says the distance

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

between

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

one level and the next level is like

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

the distance between a Samawati wal ark, like

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

the distance between the heavens and the earth.

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

Well, Nabi says

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

that a person will be in their level

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

in Jannah, let's say level 53.

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

Then the person is raised to a next

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

level, so they get an upgrade.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

And the person will say, You Allah, why

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

have I been like raised to the next

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

level? And Allah will say, This is because

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

of your child, your son or daughter. They

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

made dua for you, or they gave zakahab

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

or sadaqa on your behalf, and Allah raises

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

you in rank. So you will get the

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

barakah of your children in Jannah as well.

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

With the food

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

The food is close, within reach.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

So if you like a fruit, it will

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

come to you. If you like a bird,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

it's gonna fall in front of you.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

With all the biryani and all the beautiful

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

things in general, it will come to you.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

You don't have to do anything. You don't

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

have to stand in the kitchen for 4

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

hours

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

to cook something. It would be right there.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

Once you think of something, it will be

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

right in front of you. And the rivers,

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

the running rivers, and they're close, sundusin waistabra.

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

And the person, they don't need to go

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

to the washroom,

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

everything will come out in the form of

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

mask as the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

says. So you don't have to worry about

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

going to the washroom or madras and

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

and the and just like in this dunya,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

all the suffering and the pain in this

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

dunya.

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

And the beautiful thing about Jannah and Nabi

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says in the hadith

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

in Tabarani Abiallahu

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

that in Jannah, we will all be at

00:11:23 --> 00:11:23

the height

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

of Adam

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

60 cubes or 60 feet high.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

And this is particularly good news for someone

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

who is short like me. We'll be the

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

same height. Right?

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

And the prophet

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

says in this hadith, we will be as

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

beautiful as Yusuf alaihis salam

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

and we'll be at the age of Isa

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

alaihis salam 30 years old. Everyone will be

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

30 years old

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

and will speak, all of us will speak

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

the tongue of Muhammad SAW who will talk

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

Arabic everyone will talk Arabic in Jannah

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

and now SubhanAllah, this is amazing like you

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

will be in Jannah, you'll be 33 years

00:12:00 --> 00:12:01

old or 30 years old

00:12:01 --> 00:12:02

your dad

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

would be 30 years old. Your grandfather would

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

be 30 years old. Your children, 30 years

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

old. Everyone would be 30 years old.

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

Can you imagine your dad, your grandpa would

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

be your age, and you sit and talk

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

to them, and you chat with them, and

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

have a good time with them. Well, like,

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

this is beautiful. This is amazing.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

Is there anything

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

better that you can get in Jannah?

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

Yes. There's no suffering, there's no pain in

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

in Jannah.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

People will not have cancer, people will not

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

suffer like here. Diabetes

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

and this and that. SubhanAllah.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

People will not die in Jannah. And the

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

prophet was asked about sleep. Are people going

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

to sleep in Jannah? And he said, no.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

People will not sleep in Jannah because sleep

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

is the twin brother of death and there's

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

no death in Jannah. You will be up

00:12:48 --> 00:12:48

all

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

all the time in jannah, enjoying what Allah

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

has prepared for you in jannah. But here,

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

if you live a good life, you are

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

always scared that something bad will happen to

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

you. You will die.

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

And the ulama say,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

the 3 most critical times in your life

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

as a human being,

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

number 1, the day you are born. Right?

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

Because

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

you are born,

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

you can't see well, you don't know anyone

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

around you, all you hear is someone screaming,

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

your mom is in pain, you know, the

00:13:18 --> 00:13:18

contractions.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

She is in pain, she is crying.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

Your dad is crying because of the bills.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

He has a heart attack and he cries,

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

and the two families are fighting

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

over the what are we gonna name the

00:13:29 --> 00:13:29

baby?

00:13:30 --> 00:13:30

So

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

the the husband's family will say, well, name

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

him after the grandpa,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:35

Boray.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

And the mom's family, they fight. No. We'll

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

name him after the grandma,

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

Atris, and they have big fights. Right?

00:13:43 --> 00:13:46

So you don't know anyone, all you hear

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

is crying. You don't know you don't recognize

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

anyone. Even the doctors and the nurses,

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

they have masks.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

You know, Malawi we have some doctors here

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

and the reason is if something goes wrong

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

in the surgery

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

everyone has a mask so you can't recognize

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

anyone they can't run away right? And you

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

can't give them right? This is the reason

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

why we have masks at hospitals

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

Regardless of what doctors and nurses say, this

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

is the right reason. Right?

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

And the second situation which is very critical

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16

and difficult in someone's life is when they

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

die. Because they don't know what to expect.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

Where am I gonna be? Like, what what

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

will the condition be in the grave?

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

I'll probably be there be there for 1000

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

of years, 1000000 of years before kayama all

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

the Allah

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

knows. Yawmur kayama

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

to be risen from the, you know, from

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

the grave and to stand for judgment, you

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

don't know which way to take. Are you

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

gonna go this way or that way? It's

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

a terrible situation.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

So birth,

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

death,

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

rising for judgment.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

And some people say, well, the day I

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

got married. This is also very critical and

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

it's a terrible day. And the reason was

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

they looked for the expiry date on the

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

marriage contract, they couldn't find it, and this

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

was terrible for them. But subhanAllah, if you

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

marry the right person, this is good news.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

If you marry the wrong person, then your

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

life would be terrible. Right?

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

And this explains, you know, the 3 most

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

critical situations in someone's life. The day you

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

are born, the day you die, the day

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

you are risen for judgment.

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

Why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave salam to

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

Isa Alaihi Salam and Yahya alaihi salam in

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

Surah Maryam,

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

where

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

Allah with rahma and mercy, the day they

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

were born, the day they will die, and

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

the day they will stand for qiyama, for

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

judgment. The 3 most critical situations.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

Allah gave them peace in those times. So

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

in Jannah, there's no suffering. There's no pain.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

You know, people who have cancer, diabetes,

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

brain tumors. SubhanAllah,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

about 2 weeks ago, I visited someone in

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

Markham, a 14 year old, you know, guy

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

and SubhanAllah, he has cancer and

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

and only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows how

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

long the person will die and the doctors

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

don't have good news. But Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

Ta'ala only knows who will go first and

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

and who will stay. But in Jannah, no

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

suffering, no pain,

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

even jealousy and hatred. Here in dunya, you

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

fight with someone over business, they hate you.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

They don't want to talk to you. Even

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

brothers and sisters, they fought they fight over

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

inheritance, they don't talk to their own flesh

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

and blood. But in Jannah, You'll

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

be facing people face to face all the

00:16:29 --> 00:16:32

time. You're not turning your back on anyone

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

because there is no jealousy, no hatred

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

in your heart.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

And this is good news.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

In Jannah, you will be united with all

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

family members. Like, I lost my dad back

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

in 2004 and I miss him so much.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

Just like any one of you,

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

you know, who lost their dad or grand

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

dad or grandma.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

They miss them, they would love to see

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

them. So being united with the loved ones,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

this is an amazing news. You'll be with

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

them, same age, you'll be having a good

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

time, Alhamdulillah, this is amazing.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

Is there anything better than this?

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

Yes.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

You will be united with the Sahaba of

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

Muhammad Sallal. All the great Sahaba that we

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

read about Abu Bakr and Umar al Uthman,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

and Ashram Mufasharim b Jannah, the people of

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

Badr, the people of Khadaiyah, you will see

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

them when you will talk to them.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

Is there anything better than this? Yes.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

We'll talk in the second footpath where Allah

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us the best

00:17:27 --> 00:17:29

in this life and the best in Allah

00:17:29 --> 00:17:29

to come.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:43

Yes.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

There are more important things to enjoy in

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

Jannah,

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

more than seeing your family members who passed

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

away and seeing the Sahaba Qalam and talking

00:17:52 --> 00:17:52

to them.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

What about standing in front of Muhammad

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

and shaking his hand and drinking from his

00:17:58 --> 00:17:58

alqawthar

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

and talking to them?

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

And and subhanAllah, they say in Jannah, will

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

you go and shake Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

sallam's hand? And he will say, Wa Alaikas

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

salam You Fulan, and he will mention your

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

name, Ibrahim Mohammed.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

And why? Because you used to give him

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

salah and salam in dunya, so he will

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

recognize your name in Jannah. So always give

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

salah and salaam to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi salaam

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

in dunya so he will recognize your name

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

in Jannah inshallah to Allah

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

and subhanAllah

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

in this dunya when you go for Hajj

00:18:27 --> 00:18:27

Al Umrah

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

and after the end of the program you

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

go to Madinah you you pray in Mas'udin

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

Nabi SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam Madinah and you go

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

to

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

you know the Kaabra the grave of the

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam you stand in front

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

of the Orfa

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

and it says

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

and people start to cry just because they

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

see the sign here you can give salaam

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

to Muhammad SAW Salam and Abu Bakr and

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

Umar and you start to cry

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

you don't see anything you just see the

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

sign that says you can give Salah Salam

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

to the Prophet SAW Salam here and you

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

start crying And you're standing in front of

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

a wall. You don't see anything, you don't

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

see anyone.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

But now imagine in Jannah,

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

you stand in front of Muhammad himself,

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

in person, and you shake his hand. You

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

drink from his kawthar, and you talk to

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

him.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

And you talk to Yusuf alaihis salam, Ibrahim,

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

Musa, Isa, all the great sahaba, great prophets

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

that we're about in our Islamic schools or

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

weekend school and subhanallah. All these emotions will

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

come and so this is a I mean,

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

it's hard to describe

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

the feeling when you stand up Muhammad salaam

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

alayhi wa sallam and shake his hand. We

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

this honor in jannah of the firdosiyahu alayhi

00:19:34 --> 00:19:34

wa sallam.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:36

Is there anything

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

which is greater than seeing the Sahaba Qara

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

and Muhammad salaam and the prophets? Yes. There's

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

a hadith in the tim adi where the

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

prophet

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

says that, Alhamu Qiyam Allah will call out

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

to people of Jannah,

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

is there anything else that I can give

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

you to make you happier in Jannah? So

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

the people will respond and say, You Allah,

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

what more can we ask for?

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

Didn't you brighten our faces?

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

Didn't you put a smile on our face?

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

Didn't you protect us from jahannam?

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

Didn't you do this? Didn't you do that?

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say, yes,

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

there is something more. And Allah subhanahu wa

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

ta'ala, yarfaal hijab, he will lift the barrier

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

so people will look straight to Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala and see his face in jannah.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

They wouldn't have enjoyed anything

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

better than looking at the face of Allah

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

So we ask Allah

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

to make us among those who would look

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

at his face in Jannah. How do you

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

make it there?

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

So there are some requirements, there are some

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

price you have to pay here in this

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

dunya.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

Number 1,

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

you have to work for it. Right? You

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

have to work for it?

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

Allah

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

says at the end of Surah kaf, after

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

saying,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

They would be in Jannah forever, and they

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

wouldn't wish to go anywhere else. And Allah

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

says, If you want to go there, if

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

you want to get this, this is what

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

you need to do.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

If you want to meet Allah

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

meet the reward in Jannah, you have to

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

do. You have to work.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

You have to work for it.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:20

Number 2, you have to love Muhammad salallahu

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

alaihi wa sallam and follow his example. The

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam says in Bukhari,

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

all my Ummah will go to Jannah except

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

those who refuse.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

So the sahaba said you Rasulullah who would

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

refuse to go to Jannah? And the prophet

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

says all my Ummah will go to Jannah

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

except those who refuse

00:21:39 --> 00:21:42

whoever obeys me they go to Jannah whoever

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

refuses to obey me and follow my Sunnah,

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

my example

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

they have refused to go to Jannah

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

And number 3 and finally for today, there

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

are so many things but today

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

taking care of your parents

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

This is your bridge to Jannah

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

and by extension your father and mother-in-law

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

because they also take the place of your

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

parents. So by extension take care of your

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

father and mother-in-law.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

asked about the bridge to Jannah

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

and the prophet SAW ASSAW said is your

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

mom alive? Your parents alive? And the prophet

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

and this is Ibn Maja al Nisayih. The

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

person said yes, my mom is alive and

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

the prophet SAW ASSAW says, iizambrish layha fathammal

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

Jannah stick to our feet because Jannah is

00:22:26 --> 00:22:26

right

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

there. A person is a loser

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

if they live with their parents or one

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

of them and they don't take them to

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

Jannah. There are so many hadith, but this

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

is enough for today. We ask Allah

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

to give a Jannah to Firdos and the

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

Shafa'a of Muhammad

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

and to make us among those who will

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

look at the face of Allah in Jannah.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

Drink from Al Kawthar with Muhammad and
