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