Mustafa Khattab – Next Life 12 Knew But Didnt Do 2

InshaAllah, we'll continue our,

Halukah, short Halukah about the Dar al Efra.

We'll keep it short. InshaAllah, I think the

sisters

have a dua halakah in the back so

they will be starting soon. So 10 minutes

will be okay inshaAllah.

So last time we mentioned the story of,

Ibn Qayyib

He mentioned the story of

a girl who died in a plague,

so her father saw her in a dream.

So he asked her in a dream, how

did you find

So she said

So he didn't know

what that meant. He asked one of the

shi'uk

Mawlana, and the sheikh said, she meant

we knew

but we didn't do. We knew easy ways

to make lots of hasanat but we didn't

actually take the time to do these good

things.

And I gave a few examples like saying

for example, the authentic hadith are so many

about the importance and the significance

of But how many people actually keep their

avkaal?

The dua, the saydul istafar from

from the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam,

It's a popular hadith. The prophet salallahu alayhi

wa sallam says whoever says this short dua

in the morning

and dies before the evening, he or she

will go to Jannah straight. And whoever sees

it at night and they pass away before

the morning, they go to Jannah straight.

How many people

say this hadith in the evening and in

the morning? Not not many people.

Also reading Quran we know that how much,

you know, reward or how many hasara

this can generate for you. If you say,

Alif lamim, this is 3 letters, each is

1 hasara up to 10, up to Allahu'alaam

how many. This is very easy, like easy

stuff.

Also when you visit the sick,

the angels will go after you and they

will make dua for you, 70,000

and some hadith.

Fantastic

rewards. But how many people actually,

take advantage of this hadith and and they

say these small things. SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah,

There's so many has hasanats and you don't

have to pay money to make hasanat. It's

very easy to make this hasanat, but people

don't take advantage of this easy way to

make hasanat.

So the prophet

said,

if this person

were to come back to life,

then the first thing he will do

is not to eat biriyani

or not to go to, Marilland, nothing. The

first thing he will do is to pray

turakah.

The Prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said, 2

rakah for him are better than this whole

world and everything in it. Why? Because now

he knows the reward.

Because he has seen the reward in Akhirah,

he knows

the great reward of Salah Namaz. Now if

he comes back, this is the first thing

he will do.

Sometimes we hear stories about people,

when in the, you know,

throes of death they're giving up their soul,

sometimes they they talk about things that we

can't see. Like some people they see their

parents when they are dying, or they talk

about Jannah, or they talk about Malaika, or

something. Right?

And when someone is dying, they actually see

the reward for their deeds. And they wish

they have done better and they have done

more.

So a person was traveling with his friends,

they were on a journey

and he started to die on the way.

And he was saying these words but people

with him, his company, they didn't know what

he meant.

He said, I wish it was all of

it, and I wish it was far away,

and I wish it was the new one.

So people had no clue.

So

they went back to his family and they

spoke to his mom and and they said,

okay,

what did he mean? Like we didn't know

what he was talking about.

He said, his mother said

that

whenever he was eating

and a poor person passed by, so he

would give them like half of the food

or a little bit of the food.

So now when he saw the whole reward

he said, laitahu kara kula. I wish I

gave the poor person all the food I

had. Because now I see the reward, I

wish I had given them all the food.

Laitahu kara kula ba'idan, I wish it was

far away. This person used to walk to

the masjid, so it was like 2, 2,

3 minutes away. When he saw the reward,

all the steps that he takes to to

the masjid will remove,

each step will remove 1 sayyah,

1 evil deed, it will raise them up

one rank in Jannah, and it will bring

them closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and

this is mentioned in authentic Hadith. So now

when they see the reward for all the

steps they take to the masjid,

he will say I wish the masjid was

far away, so I will take more Hasanan.

And I wish it was the new one.

His mother said one day,

it was Eid and a poor person came

by and he didn't have, like, a nice

clothes for Eid, so my son had a

used

garment or thawb abaya,

and he had the new one. So he

had the new one and old one. So

he gave him the old one.

And when he saw the reward, he said,

I wish I gave him the new one

because now he sees,

the reward.

Taran, most of the people who regret before

they die,

when they miss all these opportunities, they mid

hop, miss out a big time,

this comes down to 2 things, and I

conclude with this inshallah.

The prophet

says, a lot of people

don't take advantage of 2 things, and they

miss out because of 2 things.

Health.

Free

time. People miss out because of these two

things. Because when someone is healthy,

they want to run around, they want to

do things, and jump around, and So they

don't focus on what is important. And this

is why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

talks about the youth in many hadith,

in his authentic hadith.

And as al farah, free time,

The scholars say if you don't busy yourself

with good stuff, yourself will busy you with

evil stuff.

And this is why a lot of people

will get in trouble because of drugs and,

you know, reckless driving and

crime and shootings and stuff are youth.

Why? Because they are young and healthy.

Because if some when someone grows older, they

slow down, they become wise, masha'Allah.

But when they are young, they're doing stuff

that they may regret later in their lives.

Wadfaral

free time. A lot of people get in

trouble because of free time. They don't know

how to use their time.

They don't know how they use their time.

And this is why they do stupid things.

In Edmonton, all the time, like, youth were

coming to the masjid for janazah, like shootings,

and shootings in nice

nightclubs, and crime, and drugs, and they're killing

each other. Why? Because they were they didn't

have anything to do. So imagine if these

kids were going to school, or they were

memorizing Quran, they wouldn't have time to think

about all these bad

things.

So in this story of Ibn Qayyim, his,

teacher, Imam Ibn Taymiyyah,

he passed by some,

Crusaders or some Tartars, they invaded Baghdad and

the Muslim world.

So he saw them drinking alcohol and losing

consciousness, like they were sleeping.

They couldn't stand up. So Imam al Khan

said to his teacher Can can we just

wake them up and make them sober and,

you know?

So he said No, because if they wake

up they will give us a hard time.

So leave them alone because

they don't use their time and don't they

don't use their health in a good way.

And this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

has blessed us with good things,

good health, I used to see with ears

to hear with tongues to speak with and

the problem is when we use these things

in the Haram

You look at what is Haram, you hear

what is Haram, you say what is Haram,

you are not using the niyamah of health

that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given you

in a good way.

We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

to help us,

take advantage of our health and our free

time and we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

to to guide us to what is best

for us in this life and the rest

and the life to come, and to give

us sincerity in everything we say and do.

Bless Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and We

ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give us

a good ending of our lives, and we'll

continue next time, and And we ask Allah

to protect the Muslim community

and, to give Hidayah to people You Rabbil

Alameel. And we ask Allah

to accept those who passed away in the

incident in Quebec as shayeed and to give

shifa to those who were injured,
