Okay. So
we'll be talking inshallah about
Arkanul
Imaan. We're still talking about Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
and the names and the attributes of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So today I'm gonna talk
a little bit
about
La'adlah
and Acher.
We said before that we cannot see Allah
in dunya because we are not equipped to
see Him.
When Musa
requested in Surah Araf to see Allah
he was told,
he did not see me.
Allah
did not say, I cannot be seen. He
said, you cannot see me.
Right? He said, you cannot see me, you're
not equipped, you're not ready to see me.
And as we said before,
we'll be able to see Allah
on the day of judgment and stay before
Him, stand before Him for judgment.
So
the focus for of my tarf today is
free choice
and yamul kiyam. In in this dunya,
we have free choice, you can do whatever
you want. Right? If you wanna do good
things, you can.
Unless you're violating any laws,
then a lot of people do whatever they
want.
People drink, people do drugs. Marijuana is now
legal, and so on and so forth. But
not for you. It's not good.
So maybe
in the next election, if a conservative government
is elected,
marijuana would be illegal again. Right?
Because people keep changing their mind.
Sometimes something is bad becomes good and something,
or I mean legal.
Like in the past, marijuana was illegal, now
it is legal.
Maybe some something was something was
legal, then it becomes illegal, and and so
on and so forth.
For Allah
what is right is always right, and what
is wrong is always wrong. But Allah
what is
different about us,
from any other creation of Allah
like
animals and
everything else? Malaika.
We have free choice.
You can do whatever you want,
so Allah
does not force you to do certain things.
When it comes to our actions in dunya,
I know that the introduction is kind of
boring, it's kind of
academic, but,
you need to understand this,
that
our actions in this dunya or
actions around us are of 2 types.
Things that you have no control over,
like your heartbeats, you have no control over
that. The sun coming out of the east
in the morning and setting in the west
in the evening, you have no control. So
do you think Allah would question you about
these things?
Yes or no?
He will ask you why your heart was
beating,
70 times per minute, or why the sun
was coming out of the east in the
morning? He will ask you about this. Because
you have no control. He will not ask
you.
But Allah
will ask you about the things that you
have no control over.
Whether you,
pray
on time, you have between 1:30
and 4:30, for example, to pray.
So you chose not to pray,
but to play video games. Right?
Until the time for salah was over.
Did you have a choice to pray?
Yes. Did you pray?
No. So you made the choice. No one
is forcing you. And in the morning, when
you wake up before you come to school,
they ask you, would you like to eat
cereal with milk?
Would you like to eat cheese or eggs?
They ask you at home. So you have
you have a choice. Right?
If you have a fork in your hand,
you can use it to eat or to
stab someone in the eye.
You make the choice. It's your call.
If you have a free time, you can
use your free time to do your homework,
to do something good, to help your mom,
or you can use your free time to
torture a cat.
For example,
you can use your money to buy something
beneficial, something useful,
or you can use your money
you spend your money on something terrible, or
drugs, or whatever. Right? So people have free
choice in this dunya.
So what is the point of Akhir?
Right? We move from this dunya to Akhirah,
and the prophet said, you are here in
this dunya like a Musa'afir, someone who is
a traveler, but eventually you will leave,
and I always
give the example of a bus. All of
us are on this bus, and when your
stuff comes, you get off the bus.
Right?
So some people get off the bus sooner
than others. When your stuff comes, you just
get off the bus.
So what is the point
of? What about
if we just live in this dunya,
you live your life, you do whatever you
want,
then you die, there's nothing after.
So the problem with that is,
in this case,
there will be no justice.
I'll give you,
one example.
To show you the importance of
and standing before Allah
for judgment.
We're gonna use,
this guy. Come here.
I don't have candy, but,
what's your name again?
Zayn. Zayn, So Zayn is a very good
guy,
and,
he's a family man, he's married, and he
has kids. I'm gonna call, this guy, come
here,
and this guy, sit over here,
and,
who else? This guy, sit over here, 3
of you,
and this sister, nice glasses, and this sister,
sit over here.
Sit down, face the people, face this way.
Yeah. Sit down, facing this way. So this
is your dad,
Zain.
He goes to work every day. Right?
No days off. He's working hard to provide
for you.
Right? To buy all the stuff you like,
buy you candy, buy you food,
take you to the store, and so on.
Very good guy. So,
he doesn't have a car, he has to
walk from work
to the house. So one night,
he was walking 11 PM,
going to his house, he works, you know,
at night, he was going to the house,
and
there came this guy. Come here. He crashes.
So this guy
is a troublemaker. Do you have a name?
Malik. Malik. He's
a troublemaker.
He's driving his car,
and he's texting while driving. Good or bad?
Bad. He chose to text, right, while driving.
So what happened,
this poor guy was walking on the sidewalk.
So this guy squirmed,
and he ran over him and killed him
innocently.
Dead.
So these kids here,
they became orphans.
Okay. Thank you.
Okay. So
so it was 11 PM.
It was dark. No one saw this guy
killing this poor guy.
No. Hold on. So no one saw this
guy killing this man,
hit and run. You you read about it
in the news all the time. Hit and
run. He hit him, and he ran away.
No one saw him. This
guy ended up in
the grave,
and this guy ended up in the movies.
He went to the movies to enjoy the
rest of the night.
Do you think justice
is served here? No. Is there justice in
this?
No. With this guy dying and leaving behind
5 beautiful kids, and a wife,
and this guy enjoying his life till the
end of his life, there's nothing hap now
now, if there is no judgment in Akra,
if there's no judgment in Akha, this this
guy enjoyed his life, he lived another 50,
70 years enjoying his life, just pretending like
nothing happened, and this poor guy was killed,
and that's it for him.
Standing before Allah, because there are so many
injustices in this world,
and
sometimes
justice is never established. This is just one
example. I'm gonna give a bigger example
to show you.
Somewhat like
George Bush,
and
Tony Blair,
and
Hitler,
and
Stalin,
so,
and Mao. People like this.
Mao, and Stalin, and Hitler, and all these
people in Jordan. Sit down. No. No. No.
So
so these people, these 5 people between themselves,
they killed more than a 100,000,000 people.
More than a 100,000,000 people. People like Mao
and Stalin.
Mao and Stalin,
between them, they were communists. Between themselves,
they killed more than 70,000,000 people
around World War 2.
Right? Mao and Stalin.
So, you see someone like George Bush, he
destroyed Iraq,
based on false information,
and so on and so forth. It's not
a secret now, he lied,
and it's all history now. But what about,
what about the millions of lives that were
destroyed in Iraq, and in Afghanistan, and so
on and so forth? People who were killed,
orphaned,
widowed,
and so on and so forth. They lost
their land, they lost everything they had,
at the hands of George Bush and Tony
Blair.
Where is Tony Blair now? Where is George
Bush?
George Bush, from what I know, he is
now sitting at his ranch in Texas,
enjoying 1,000,000 of dollars, he's living like a
king, and he will probably do so till
the end of his life.
Do you think this is just?
And do you think this is fair? Yes.
It is not just, it is not fair.
And this is why there's a point in
Athab.
People like him, George Bush, Tony Blair, Hitler,
Stalin, and all the suckers, and all the
killers, and all the evil people who existed
in this world, there's a time where they
would be raised from the dead and they
stand before Allah
for justice.
And all the good people who are abused
in this world, they will stand before Allah
and they will get justice
from the people who have used them in
this dunya. So now after
this big talk, do you
think it is fair to have judgment in
the?
Yeah. Is there a point? It is is
it important, significant to have justice in? Yeah.
Yes. Okay. So I think the case is,
is established. So we'll see you tomorrow inshallah
for the questions and answers, Zazakullah Fai'l Assalamu
Alaikum.
