00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			So in surah alahman, surah number 55,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			Allah
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			speaks about His favors upon us in dunya
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			and in akhirah.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			And every single time Allah
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			mentions a blessing
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			or a favor in this dunya or in
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			Afla He says,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Which of your Lord's favors will you deny?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			31 times.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			31
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			times. 31 times.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			And it's interesting because at the beginning of
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			the surah it talks about the creation, it
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			talks about dunya, favors, and this dunya.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			Repeatedly.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Then the second half of the surah talks
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			about
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			So now, from the middle of the surah
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			it talks about So the first half is
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			dedicated to the favors in dunya,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			and the second half is dedicated to Allah's
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			favors on us on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			So when it talks about the Day of
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Judgment,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			you'll say, I mentioned this a long time
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			ago,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			repeated
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			7 times when it talks about the people
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			of Jahannam,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			From Salafur Gulakkuma, you have Thakala, and so
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			on and so forth.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			You are often Mujrimoon Abbasi Imam Fa'ukhadubin Nawwasu
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Allah Hadi Jahannamul Latu. So when it talks
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			about the punishment of the Kuffar
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Jahannam, is mentioned 7 times.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			And the scholars say, this number 7 in
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			in this ayat corresponds
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			to the 7 Gates of Jahannam.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Then it talks about 2 groups of believers
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			Then it talks about the people of Jannah
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and it classifies them as 2 types.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			The foremost or as sabihoon and the people
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			of the right, the people who like the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			average believers.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Just like the next surah, surah 56,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			surah Waqqah, it talks about exactly the same
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			topics,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			about Allah's favors,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			His ability to create, the people of Jannah,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			the people of Jahannam, and the people of
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			Jahannam sorry, Jannah are 2 types.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			The Sabi Khurim, the foremost,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			and as how will you mean the people
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			of the right.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			So in Surah Al Rahman, I mentioned it
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			when it talks about the people of Jahannam,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			7 times it mentions
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			corresponding to the 7 Gates of Jahannam.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			Then when it talks about the people of
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			Jannah,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			the first group, the foremost,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			you'll see
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			8 times
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			corresponding
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			to the gates of Jannah.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			Then it talks about the second group of
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			believers, the people of the right, again
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			8 times corresponding to the gates of their
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			jannah.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			So this is something unique about this surah.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			But another thing which is unique about the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			surah,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			in the
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			So
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when He talks about
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			death in surahuman,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			He counts death as one of the favors
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			of Allah. How come?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			Because I understand when it talks about our
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			creation,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			the fact that He provides for us, the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			fact that He taught us the Quran,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			the fact that He created water for us,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			and the heavens, and the earth, and all
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			that stuff. This is a favor, yes. But
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			how come that when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			talks about
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			death,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			He counts death as one of the favors.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			Why?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about the
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			punishment of the kuffar in jahannam,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			He counts this as a favor from Allah.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			Why? So there is something here, something that
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			we need to understand.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			when the good people die,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			there is no more suffering for them, there
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			is no more pain for them, they don't
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			have to suffer in this dunya, they will
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			move to the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			Ta'ala, and there is no more injustice for
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			them.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			But in this dunya,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			So number 1, why death is counted as
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			a favor from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			Number 1, when the good people move to
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			the next life,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			there's no suffering, no more pain for them,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			no injustice for them. When they move to
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, they
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			will not suffer anymore. Khala's suffering is behind
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			their back.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			They are now in the mercy and the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			rahmah of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and there
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			will be no injustice for them.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			Nabi
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			So in this authentic hadith in Bukhary and
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			Muslim,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam says, he saw
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			a janazah,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			so the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			this person is either relieved
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			or relieving,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			relieved or relieving.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			So the sahaba said, What is relieved or
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			relieving You Rasulullah? So the Prophet
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			said, Relieved is the believer.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			If this person is good, no more suffering
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			for them They are relieved
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			of the pain and the suffering in dunya.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			They don't have to worry about
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			injustice, they don't have to worry about any
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			tyrant or corrupt leader
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			abusing them or killing them to stay in
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			power, they don't have to worry about taxes,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:58
			they don't
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			worry about,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			you know, having to work every day
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			to pay their bills and the prices are
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			always going up, the rent,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			they don't have to worry about
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			heat in the summer, they don't have to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			worry about snow in the wintertime.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			They don't have to worry about any of
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			these things.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			They don't have to worry about sickness,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			they don't have to worry about going for
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			surgery, and all these things, nothing.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			Relieved or relieving?
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			Relieving, the Prophet
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			says, this is the bad person, the wicked.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			When they die, everything is relieved. And the
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			Prophet
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			said, The people will be relieved,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:47
			and
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			the neighborhood,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			and everyone around them will be relieved, even
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			trees and animals and all the creation of
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will be relieved.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			Why? Because the corruption of this wicked person
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			is affecting everyone,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			So when they go, this is a good
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			time for everyone.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			Even in the Quran Allah says
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			in Surah Al An'am, with the tyrant, and
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			the bad people, and the corrupt people,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			they die. This is a nema for Allah,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			from Allah that deserves our gratitude, that we
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			should thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that the
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			tyrants,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			and the oppressors, and the bad people who
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			are abusing their nations, they are bad to
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			everyone.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			When they leave,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			this is very relieving to the good people
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			around them. You know in some Muslim countries,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			if you walk with a beard in the
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			street,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			you go to jail. If a sister
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			walks with hijab, she will be in trouble.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			She can't go to school with hijab 1.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			Wallahi, in the same country,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			like before the revolution, especially in Tunisia,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			there was this law,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			you can't go just go to any Masjid
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			and pray taweeh, you have to register first,
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			and you have to have a card to
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			pray taweeh in Ramadan.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			You can't just go to any masjid, you
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			have to go to the closest masjid
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			and the imam has to make sure before
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			salah, if someone doesn't have their card, taweeh
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			card with him, they go home.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			Imagine in a Muslim country, Justin Trudeau cannot
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			do this in Canada,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			a non Muslim country because we have rights
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			here, we have freedoms. SubhanAllah, in many Muslim
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			countries a lot of Muslims are abused.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			The best in those nations, in our country's
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			back home, the best, the scholars,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			the salihun,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			they are either dead,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			they are either in jail, they are either
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:41
			in exile.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			So good people are not welcome in Muslim
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			countries, whereas in non Muslim countries, at least
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			we have some freedom here, we have some
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			democracy.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Some, I'm not saying that this agenda on
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			earth, but at least you have some rights.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			You are recognized as a human being,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			but in some of our countries back home,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			the fact that you are a human being
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			is questionable,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			like we have no rights.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			I mentioned before in one of the khutbas
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			that sometimes when I go to the park,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			and the people are playing with their dogs,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			and they're treating them nicely,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			and I look at our people back home,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			they are being shot in the streets, thrown
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			in jail for no reason,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			So I say,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			I wish we were treated like dogs in
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			our countries. Wallahi, this is very sad.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			This is very sad, and this
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			is displeasing to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			So I think we know better, we have
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Islam, so we should be in the front
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37
			when it comes
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			to dignity and respect to the human life
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			and so on and so forth. I don't
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			have to get into the details
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			how Muhammad SAW came as a mercy
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			to human beings, to animals,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			even to non Muslims. He came as a
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			mercy for everyone.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			Where is this mercy now among Muslims?
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			Allah subhanahu
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			wa ta'ala will make it easy for us
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			inshaAllah.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			So when the tyrants, and the corrupt people,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			and the wicked die, this is relieving
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			to the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			So this is number 1, that the believers
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			would be relieved,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			and the tyrants
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			would be relieving when they go,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			and there will need justice. Because in this
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			dunya,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			as I mentioned in the Khutba one day,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			look at George Bush, did he get justice
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			for what he had done to the Iraqi
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			people, and the corruption, and the people of
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			Afghanistan?
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			Wallahi, there is no justice here.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			Even many Americans are saying exactly the same
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			thing, they're not even Muslim, and they believe
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			that what happened was a horrible mistake, it's
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			a war cry,
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			millions of people have been killed or at
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			least 100 of 1000.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			Orphans,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			and widows, and refugees all over the world.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			The biggest number of refugees in the world
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			is Muslim.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			The the the the biggest number of people
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			who are killed in the world are Muslim.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			The biggest number of orphans and widows are
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Muslim. Right?
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			You think about Tony Blair, you think about
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			all these horrible things, the drone attacks,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			they attack weddings, and they attack innocent people,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			and most of the time,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			and these are not my words, these are
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			studies that are done in the US, in
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			Harvard, and Yale, and big schools, they say
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			that most of the people who are killed
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			in these attacks by drones, and invasions,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			and unjustified wars are civilians.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			They have nothing to do with nothing, they're
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			innocent people, women and children.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			Who is gonna give them justice?
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. There's no justice in
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			this dunya, no justice.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			So when we are taken to akhirah, when
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			we leave this world,
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			justice will be applied. So we move from
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			this world of injustice
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			to the next life of justice.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			On a personal level,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			someone is gonna steal your money and they
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			blame it on someone else, or they shoot
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			someone and they claim they are innocent,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			and we have no clue.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			Allah
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			Nothing will be hidden from Allah
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			And as I mentioned in the khutbah last
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			time,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			things will come on the Day of Judgment
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			and they will be presented in front of
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:23
			everyone,
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			big humiliation.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			And believe me if you do something wrong
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			in dunya, and Allah
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			forgives you, you will not be questioned on
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			the day of judgment before people.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			So let me repeat this again.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			One of the great
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			favors from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is when
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			you do something wrong in duniya and He
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			covers you, no one knows.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			If you make tauba in duniya, you ask
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			Allah for forgiveness, He will not expose you
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			on the Day of Judgment, no one will
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			know. It's gonna be between you and Him.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			But without tawba,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			Allah will ask you in front of everyone,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			why did you steal that money? Why did
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			you commit zina? Why did you take a
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			bribe? In front of everyone. Big humiliation.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			We're talking about the people from Adam all
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			the way to the Day of Judgment, billions
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			and billions of people, they will know what
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			you did.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			So the best thing is, if you made
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			a mistake, try to correct it, you took
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			something from someone, give it back, make tawba,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			and Allah will not put you in that
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			situation.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			Then when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, of course,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks about the
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			punishment of kuffar in jahannam,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			Allah counts this as a favor. Lam Allah
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, al-'adabil
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:22
			kafirim,
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			Allah will be done in 5 minutes, InshaAllah.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			So it's a name from Allah. Why?
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			In broad daylight.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46
			Signs
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:48
			signs
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			gas station, or feet of mortars, or kada,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			favors.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			2 miles, 3 miles down the road.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			2, 3 miles,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			accident,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			the road is closed,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			fire,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			something hazardous,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			that this is also a favor, so you
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			don't have to fall in that problem, and
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			get stuck on the highway.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			This is the way the ulama explained it,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			that when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is warning
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			us against the punishment of the kuffar I
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			jahannam, it's a good thing.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			And the easiest way to understand this favor
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			is when you are driving on the highway,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			there are 2 types of signs,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			good sign and a bad sign. Both are
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			good, both are a favor. How? So when
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			you're driving and you see this service
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			sign, it says that,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			2, 3 miles down the road, there's a
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			gas station, there's Tim Hortons, there's this,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			fruit sale or something, so it's a good
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			thing.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			In the same way, a warning on the
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			highway is also a good thing. If there's
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			this big sign that tells you that 2,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			3 miles down the road there's a fire,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			there's an accident, you're gonna be stuck on
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			the highway, take a u-turn and go somewhere
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			else, it's a favor.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			So you stay away from trouble.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			So this is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			when he talks about the punishment of the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			kuffar
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			as a warning to us,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			so on the day of judgment you don't
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			say, I didn't know, no one told me.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			So he gave you
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:26
			a warning,
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			so
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			ahead of time, so now you know you
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			don't fall in the mistake, you stay away.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			So the fact that he's opening your eyes,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			so you don't be in the same place,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			it's a favor from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			Always keeping this in mind, that you have
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Jannah in front of you, and you have
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			Jahannam in front of you, and the choice
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:47
			is yours.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			This is a great favor from Allah
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			and it's a big motivation, and I will
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			conclude with this story.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			If
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			you would like to go to Jannah, do
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			123.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			If you would like to go to Jahannam,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			123. It's up to you.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			Free choice here. We're not like malaika, we're
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			not like animals, we're not like birds, no
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			free choice. We have free choice. You have
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			the choice to go here, you have the
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			choice to go there. It's up to you.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not forcing you.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			So when you keep Jannah and Jahanam in
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			your mind,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			you think about this
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			will motivate you to do the right thing.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			So this is a true story, and I'm
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			going to conclude with this inshallah. It's a
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			true story, happened in Saudi Arabia many years
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			ago.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			So this brother was at the hospital,
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			he had a broken leg, and a broken
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			arm, and a broken neck. Mizdah, totally.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			So he was at the hospital in his
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			room,
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			and the doctor noticed that people were coming
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			in and they were leaving,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			and when they spoke to this guy with
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			a broken neck, arm, and leg,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			they were saying sorry, we feel sorry for
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			you, we'll keep you in our guard. And
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			as soon as they leave,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			they start to laugh. Oh. Like, how are
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			you doing?
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			So the doctor was confused, what is going
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			on here? If they feel sorry for him,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			why do they crack jokes and they laugh
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			as soon as they leave?
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			So the doctor spoke to the patient,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			the brother told the doctor, I'm gonna tell
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			you the story why people cry here and
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			they laugh as soon as they leave. He
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			said,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			I love to read about Jannah and Jahannam,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			and the description of both.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			The punishment in Jahannam and the horrors inside,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			I read about the pleasures in Jannah, the
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			niyam, and so on and so forth, the
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			Khurul Ayn, the rivers, and all the good
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:21
			stuff.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			So he said,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			every night before I go to bed I
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			read about Jannah and Jahannam, tafkira, there's a
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			book by Kor Tobi, it talks about all
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			these things in detail.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			So he said, it was a summer night,
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			it was very hot,
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			so I left my window open on the
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			2nd floor,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			and my bed was by the window.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			So I read about Jannah Jahanam before I
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			slept, and I, I had a big meal,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			they have cups of good good stuff over
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			there. And I slept.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			And because I had a very big meal,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			it took time to digest so I started
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			to dream.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			He was dead sleep, was asleep, so I
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			started to dream.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			He told him the story, he said, I
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:26
			had a dream
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			that night,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			and
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			we after judgment and everything on the day
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			of judgment, because I was so overwhelmed
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			with reading about Jannah Jahannam. We were on
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			a bus, after judgment we're going to Jannah.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			So the speed limit to Jannah, we're on
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			the highway to Jannah on the day of
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			Qiyamah,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			this is in the dream,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			the, you know, the speed was about 200
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			kilometers per hour. And the drivers the driver
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			was so slow, and we were yelling at
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			him, let's go man, we wanna go to
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Jannah, we can't wait, let's go.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Faster, faster. So the speed limit was 200
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			kilometers
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			and the guy was going at 15 kilometers
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			per hour, very slow like a turtle.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			And the people were yelling at him, Aapke
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			sad kohim kashile, what's your problem? Let's go
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			man, faster faster. And he was going very
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:16
			slow.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			They say okay, this guy is not listening.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			250 miles to Jannah,
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:23
			200
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			miles to Jannah,
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:26
			150,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			150 miles. Khalas they are almost there. After
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			a whole day of driving, Khalas, they're almost
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			there, and they're eager, they can't wait.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			They see Jannah from a distance, Okay, let's
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:38
			go!
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			Chalo, chalo, let's go! Faster, faster!
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			The guy goes in front of Jannah, and
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			he didn't stop, and he moved, and there
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			was a sign,
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			Jahanam is 2 miles, 200 miles ahead.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			The speed limit was 200 kilometers, and the
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:57
			guy was going at 500 kilometers, he was
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:57
			going like,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			fast.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			And the people were yelling at him, wait,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			what are you doing?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			Slow down, we don't want to go. He
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			said, no, no, no,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			no.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			250 miles to Jahannam,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			200 miles, 150,
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			150 miles. Now they see Jahannam from a
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			distance and the fire and and
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			the man.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			So they started to hear,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			to smell that like barbecue,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			you see when you have a grill in
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			your backyard you smell, so they smell the
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			people being roasted in Jahannam,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			and the fire, and the screaming,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			and they were telling the God to slow
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			down and he was going fast like crazy.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			Now they were getting close to the door
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			of Jahannam,
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:00
			and
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			big problem, what are we gonna do? So
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			someone said, Okay, whoever has a window
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			next to them,
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			jump! This is the only way. And this
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			guy,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			he jumped out of the window on the
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			2nd floor,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			and he fell on his arm and his
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			leg, and he broke, he broke his arm,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			his leg, and his neck. So it's a
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:20
			true story.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			This is why when people came to visit
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			him, oh we feel sorry for you, they
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			cry and as soon as they leave, oh
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			subhanAllah you see the bus? He jumped out
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			of the window, you see? SubhanAllah
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			and they left.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			So the doctor said,
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			Wallahi I feel sorry for you and he
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			started to cry. And as soon as the
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			doctor left the room, he went to the
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			nurses, come come I'll tell you a story
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			and then started to laugh. Same thing.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			us Jannah and to keep us away from
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			Jahannat.
