00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			InshaAllah, we'll continue our,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Halukah, short Halukah about the Dar al Efra.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			We'll keep it short. InshaAllah, I think the
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			sisters
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			have a dua halakah in the back so
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			they will be starting soon. So 10 minutes
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			will be okay inshaAllah.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			So last time we mentioned the story of,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			Ibn Qayyib
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			He mentioned the story of
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			a girl who died in a plague,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			so her father saw her in a dream.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			So he asked her in a dream, how
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			did you find
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			So she said
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			So he didn't know
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			what that meant. He asked one of the
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			shi'uk
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Mawlana, and the sheikh said, she meant
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			we knew
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			but we didn't do. We knew easy ways
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			to make lots of hasanat but we didn't
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			actually take the time to do these good
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			things.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			And I gave a few examples like saying
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			for example, the authentic hadith are so many
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			about the importance and the significance
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			of But how many people actually keep their
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			avkaal?
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			The dua, the saydul istafar from
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			from the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			It's a popular hadith. The prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			wa sallam says whoever says this short dua
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			in the morning
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			and dies before the evening, he or she
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			will go to Jannah straight. And whoever sees
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			it at night and they pass away before
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			the morning, they go to Jannah straight.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			How many people
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			say this hadith in the evening and in
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			the morning? Not not many people.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Also reading Quran we know that how much,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			you know, reward or how many hasara
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			this can generate for you. If you say,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			Alif lamim, this is 3 letters, each is
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			1 hasara up to 10, up to Allahu'alaam
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			how many. This is very easy, like easy
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			stuff.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Also when you visit the sick,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			the angels will go after you and they
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			will make dua for you, 70,000
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			and some hadith.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			Fantastic
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			rewards. But how many people actually,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			take advantage of this hadith and and they
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			say these small things. SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			There's so many has hasanats and you don't
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			have to pay money to make hasanat. It's
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			very easy to make this hasanat, but people
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			don't take advantage of this easy way to
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			make hasanat.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			So the prophet
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			said,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			if this person
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			were to come back to life,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			then the first thing he will do
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			is not to eat biriyani
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			or not to go to, Marilland, nothing. The
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			first thing he will do is to pray
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			turakah.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			The Prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said, 2
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			rakah for him are better than this whole
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			world and everything in it. Why? Because now
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			he knows the reward.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			Because he has seen the reward in Akhirah,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			he knows
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			the great reward of Salah Namaz. Now if
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			he comes back, this is the first thing
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			he will do.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Sometimes we hear stories about people,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			when in the, you know,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			throes of death they're giving up their soul,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			sometimes they they talk about things that we
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			can't see. Like some people they see their
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			parents when they are dying, or they talk
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			about Jannah, or they talk about Malaika, or
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			something. Right?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			And when someone is dying, they actually see
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			the reward for their deeds. And they wish
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			they have done better and they have done
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			more.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			So a person was traveling with his friends,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			they were on a journey
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			and he started to die on the way.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			And he was saying these words but people
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			with him, his company, they didn't know what
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			he meant.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			He said, I wish it was all of
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			it, and I wish it was far away,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			and I wish it was the new one.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			So people had no clue.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			So
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			they went back to his family and they
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			spoke to his mom and and they said,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			okay,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			what did he mean? Like we didn't know
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			what he was talking about.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			He said, his mother said
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04
			that
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			whenever he was eating
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			and a poor person passed by, so he
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			would give them like half of the food
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			or a little bit of the food.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			So now when he saw the whole reward
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			he said, laitahu kara kula. I wish I
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			gave the poor person all the food I
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			had. Because now I see the reward, I
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			wish I had given them all the food.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			Laitahu kara kula ba'idan, I wish it was
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			far away. This person used to walk to
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			the masjid, so it was like 2, 2,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			3 minutes away. When he saw the reward,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			all the steps that he takes to to
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			the masjid will remove,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			each step will remove 1 sayyah,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			1 evil deed, it will raise them up
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			one rank in Jannah, and it will bring
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			them closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			this is mentioned in authentic Hadith. So now
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			when they see the reward for all the
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			steps they take to the masjid,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			he will say I wish the masjid was
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			far away, so I will take more Hasanan.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			And I wish it was the new one.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			His mother said one day,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			it was Eid and a poor person came
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			by and he didn't have, like, a nice
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			clothes for Eid, so my son had a
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			used
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			garment or thawb abaya,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			and he had the new one. So he
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			had the new one and old one. So
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			he gave him the old one.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			And when he saw the reward, he said,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			I wish I gave him the new one
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			because now he sees,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			the reward.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			Taran, most of the people who regret before
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:30
			they die,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			when they miss all these opportunities, they mid
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			hop, miss out a big time,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			this comes down to 2 things, and I
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			conclude with this inshallah.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			The prophet
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			says, a lot of people
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			don't take advantage of 2 things, and they
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			miss out because of 2 things.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			Health.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Free
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			time. People miss out because of these two
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			things. Because when someone is healthy,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			they want to run around, they want to
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			do things, and jump around, and So they
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			don't focus on what is important. And this
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			is why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			talks about the youth in many hadith,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			in his authentic hadith.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			And as al farah, free time,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			The scholars say if you don't busy yourself
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			with good stuff, yourself will busy you with
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			evil stuff.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			And this is why a lot of people
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			will get in trouble because of drugs and,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			you know, reckless driving and
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			crime and shootings and stuff are youth.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Why? Because they are young and healthy.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			Because if some when someone grows older, they
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			slow down, they become wise, masha'Allah.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			But when they are young, they're doing stuff
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			that they may regret later in their lives.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:54
			Wadfaral
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			free time. A lot of people get in
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			trouble because of free time. They don't know
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			how to use their time.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			They don't know how they use their time.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			And this is why they do stupid things.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			In Edmonton, all the time, like, youth were
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			coming to the masjid for janazah, like shootings,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			and shootings in nice
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			nightclubs, and crime, and drugs, and they're killing
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			each other. Why? Because they were they didn't
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			have anything to do. So imagine if these
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			kids were going to school, or they were
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			memorizing Quran, they wouldn't have time to think
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			about all these bad
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			things.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			So in this story of Ibn Qayyim, his,
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			teacher, Imam Ibn Taymiyyah,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			he passed by some,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			Crusaders or some Tartars, they invaded Baghdad and
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			the Muslim world.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			So he saw them drinking alcohol and losing
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			consciousness, like they were sleeping.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			They couldn't stand up. So Imam al Khan
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			said to his teacher Can can we just
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			wake them up and make them sober and,
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			you know?
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			So he said No, because if they wake
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			up they will give us a hard time.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			So leave them alone because
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			they don't use their time and don't they
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			don't use their health in a good way.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			And this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			has blessed us with good things,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			good health, I used to see with ears
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			to hear with tongues to speak with and
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			the problem is when we use these things
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			in the Haram
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			You look at what is Haram, you hear
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			what is Haram, you say what is Haram,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			you are not using the niyamah of health
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given you
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			in a good way.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			to help us,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			take advantage of our health and our free
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			time and we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			to to guide us to what is best
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			for us in this life and the rest
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			and the life to come, and to give
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			us sincerity in everything we say and do.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			Bless Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and We
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give us
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			a good ending of our lives, and we'll
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
