The speaker discusses the difficulties of life and the loss of family members, as a Prophet had negative impacts on them. The use of drugs to kill people and the importance of praying for death and balancing health and wealth is emphasized. The S disposers in Egypt are against the law of Islam and the family wants to make an exception for their brother, but the S disposers cannot bury him in the backyard of the funeral. The importance of finding a way to bury a deceased's family is emphasized.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Discussion about Adar al Adar al Afar InshaAllah.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			Yeah. I got some candy here with me.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			If you want candy, let me know. Barat
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			lobby.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			What candy?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			Shit.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			Barat lucky.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			So,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			tonight inshallah,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			we'll talk about Husnu Vani Billah, thinking well
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			of Allah Thinking
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			well,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			entertaining
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			these good thoughts about Allah
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			And before we do this,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			someone has been requesting that we move the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			halakat to 8 o'clock, so they have time
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			to come from work, and have dinner, and
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			chai, and biryani, and chicken sukha,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			and then come. So what do you think?
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Should we keep it at 6:30 or move
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			it to 8?
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			8.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			I prefer to keep it. Prefer at 6:30?
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			After I shall. Okay. So we can take
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			votes. You know?
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Whoever likes 6:30, raise your hand.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			Everyone, 6:30.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Halas will do that 8 Insha Allah. Our
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			democracy.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			Okay.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			Okay.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			So
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			thinking well of Allah
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Sometimes we get to a point
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			in our lives where we hit a low
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			in terms of the difficulties, and the challenges,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			and the trials in life,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			or by just reading the news. You look
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			around, you read the news, you see what
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			what is happening in Halep in Syria, or
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			in Iraq, or in other places in Yemen,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			in Libya.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			It's very frustrating, it's very disappointing.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			And you feel powerless and helpless, there's nothing
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			you can do,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			or at least this is what we think.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Or on a personal level, someone has a
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			divorce,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			their kids fail at school, they got laid
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			off, they lost their job, their car broke
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			down.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			Frustrations happen all the time. Or someone has
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			been married for so many years, no kids.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			I've seen so many cases.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Some people have kids, and they lose a
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			child. And
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			I always mention the example of the Prophet
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			He had 7 kids, 6 of them died
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			in his lifetime.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			So all these difficulties
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			and challenges in life
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			So,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			people come to a point where they feel
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			like they are helpless,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			and they think
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			it will it's a good idea that Allah
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			would take them and die in chalaz.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			They're hopeless, chalaz.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			If I die, I think this will be
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			like the other day there was a brother
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			who came to me, his daughter was like,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			I think she was 12 years old, she
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			had cancer or something and she died. And,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			she died like 2 years ago. And the
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			brother always comes to me and he has
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			tears in his eyes, and and he says,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			I'm thinking about my daughter all the time,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			and I feel like,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			you know, I I wish I can die.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			Right?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			His life is very difficult.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			And I told him about what happened with
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and Allah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			will give you the reward, and this is
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			shafa'ah for you in Akhira.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And we're not staying in this dunya, we're
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			we're here for a short time,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			and as you guys say in Urdu, zindagi
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			bahut muqtasalay,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			life is very short. We're not here to
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			stay for,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			there was a Somali brother here.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			For 5 years or 10 years.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Right? Life is very short.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			So eventually if we will leave, we're not
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			here to, to stay. If you think about
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, when he lost
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			6 out of his 7 kids, can you
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			imagine?
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			If you have 7 kids,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			every few months or every 2 years you
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			take one to the graveyard,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			you lose Khadija,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			then you get married, Zaynah bintuquzaymah,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			after 6 months she dies, and
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			SubhanAllah. It's it must have been very difficult
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			for the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, very
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			difficult, like losing
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			the beloved ones, especially your kids, is probably
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			the most difficult thing that can happen to
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			you. I know some couples,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			it happened to us,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			me and my wife, we lost, we had
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			a couple of miscarriages, and that was a
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			very difficult time for us.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			And imagine if you have your baby, you
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			hug them, you carry them around,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			and all of a sudden you lose them.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			It's very difficult.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			And this is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			will give you the greatest honors on the
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Day of Judgment if you are patient. There
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			are so many hadith.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			Jalal ad Din Suyuti,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			he's one of the the 2 who did
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			tafsiru Jalalayin.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			He wrote a whole book, he collected all
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			the hadith that talked about the reward
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			of those who lose a baby, and they
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			are patient. They always
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			revolve around
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			that your kids will wait for you by
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			the door of Jannah, they will take you
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			straight, no questions asked.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			Your life will be easy, they will make
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			Shafa'ah for
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			you. So, the sahaba
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			said that, yes, all these things happened to
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			the Prophet
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			the loss of family members,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			persecution,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			denial from his people, they were abusing him,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			the kids were throwing stuff, and someone would
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			come and step on his neck, and they
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			put garbage on his neck, and
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			They said we never saw anyone who smiled
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			more than the prophet
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			Why? Because he saw the the whole picture.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			He knew that we are not here to
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			stay, this life is a test, and he
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			was keeping his eye on the reward, so
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			this is why he was positive and and
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			and he was happy in his life. If
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			you look at someone like Yusuf alaihis salam,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			I understand if your enemies or the people
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			who don't know you, abuse you or give
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			you a hard time, okay, they are your
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			enemies.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			But your brothers,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			your flesh and blood, they stab you in
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			the back, they try to kill you, they
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			throw you in the well, and in the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			story, they say that the ones who sold
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			him into slavery, and they sent him to
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			Egypt, were actually his brothers.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			When the people got him out of the
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			will, his brothers came okay, and and they
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			said you guys are taking him, he is
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			ours, you have to pay.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			So they actually sold him. 1st they tried
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			to kill him, and eventually they tried to
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			they sold him.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			Very cheap,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			very cheap. Right?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			Eventually,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			the lady of Al Aziz in Egypt, they
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			tried to seduce him, they She was busting
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			all the moves, and he ended up in
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			jail, and all these things. Right? Very difficult
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			life.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			And it never occurred in the Surah, Surah
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Yusuf, surah 12 that he tried to kill
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			himself,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			or he was asking for death. Never.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			And eventually he became the Aziz of Egypt,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			because he knew that all these bad things
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			that happened to him for a reason,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			so only for him to become an Aziz
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			of Egypt. If he stayed with his father,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			or if they didn't throw him in the
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			wheel, or try to kill him, he couldn't
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			have become the Aziz of Egypt. But Allah
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			subhanahu wa ta'ala was doing all of this
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			for a good reason.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			If you think of someone like
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Musa alaihis salam. If you read in the
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55
			Quran,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			anyone of us in his place, you would
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			have had a heart attack and died.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			These people made his life very difficult, and
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			it is in the Quran.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			You see they leave Egypt, Allah saved them,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			and they say, ijaalana ilahaan kaballumalu.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			Can you give us a God like this,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			idol here so we can worship?
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			You guys, your your feet are still wet.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			I parted the sea for you, you saw
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			Jamarajiza,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			The sea is parting, and you see the
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			whales and the sharks and the stuff, and
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			and you can walk, and Allah gave you
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			a dry passage, and now you're asking for
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			a God? What is this?
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			Then they go, and Allah gave them and
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			quails. Quails are like birds, like smaller than
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			chicken.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			And manna is basically flour
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			that tasted like honey. So that was their
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			food. Bread with honey and meat.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			They said, we want onions, we don't like
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			this anymore. We want onions and garlic and
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			He said, What's wrong with you? Right? He
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			said, Okay, let's go and ask Allah for
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			mafira, for forgiveness. They go, and they say,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			can we see Allah? Because if we didn't
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			see Allah, you're actually faking this is just
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			like a joke and,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			what? They gave him an artha.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			Kill a cow, eat a cow. Oh, what
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			kind of cow? Yellow, what?
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			Very difficult,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			you know.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			He never prayed for Actually close to the
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			end of his life
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			in Surah Hazab, Surah 33, Allah
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			says, You are you are laveena habenu,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:26
			lataqunu
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			kalaveena azza o Musa.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			Don't be like those who harmed Musa alaihi
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			sallam. Think one of the greatest people to
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			walk the face of this earth, you know
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			he was accused
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			of killing his brother Harun, his biggest supporter.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Salatakunu
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			kaladin ala Musa in one of the tafasir,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			he's he was traveling with his brother Harun,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			and he said, You killed him.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			You were jealous of of him.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			They accused him of killing his own brother
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			who died of a natural death.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			In some narration,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			Harun alayhi wasalam spoke after his death and
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			he said: No, I died a natural death.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			And this isn't tafsir, allahu 'am. You see,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			they gave him a hard time. You see,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			someone like Ayyub he
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			was rich, he was healthy, he was handsome,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			he lost everything.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			He He lost his money, he lost his
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			kids, he lost his health, everything!
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			Alarq al Khaliq al He lost everything.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			And he was sick for so many years,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			some of the haramasts said he was sick
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			for 40 years. People abandoned him, the only
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			one who was there to serve him was
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:34
			his wife.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			And eventually Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:38
			back
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			his family twice over, and He gave him
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			his wealth and health and everything. But it
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			never occurred
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			in the, in the surah and surasad and
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			other places in the Quran that he prayed
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			for death.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			When his wife came to him and she
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			said, Okay. Ask Allah to give you shifa.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			He said, You an inni astaghimill Allah. I'm
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			ashamed
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			because Allah gave me health
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			for 40 years or 80 years in another
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			narration.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			I have to stay in this condition for
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			another 40 or 80 years before I can
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			ask Him.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			So if I say 40 years with a
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			good health, and Allah took my health for
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			10 years or 20 years, I'll be ashamed
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			to ask him to remove this hardship, I
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			have to wait for another 40.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			So it will be balanced, now I can
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			ask.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			And so on and so forth. Ibrahim alaihis
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			salaam being abused by his friends and his
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			father was against him, they threw him in
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			the fire, he never prayed for death. And
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			so on and so forth, the stories
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			are so many.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:37
			For Ta'ban,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			The Prophet
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			is telling us in the hadith, and Bukhari,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42
			and Muslim,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			So
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			the Prophet says that Allah says,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			whatever you think of me, I'm better than
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			that. If you think Allah would be generous
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			to you, Allah would take care of you,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			your He will take good care of you,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			Allah will do that to you. But if
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			you think that Allah is not able to
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			forgive you or take care of you,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			why would you do it?
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			Like say for example you go to a
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			king or a rais,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			and He can do anything to you. So
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			you're talking to him because you want money
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			or you want something, and you tell, You
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			know what, rais or king? I I don't
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			think you can help me.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			You're not good enough to help me. You
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			can't take good care of me. So what
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			do you think they will do? They'll say,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			out.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Bye bye. If you think I can help
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			you or take care of why are you
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			here in the 1st place? Alright? So you
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			shouldn't do this to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			In Hatan Noah,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			in Egypt in 19,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:47
			1978,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			Mostafa Ismail, one of
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			the greatest disciters of all time. He was
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			a contemporary of Abbasid, and bin Shawi, and
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			Khosrae, some of the great Quran.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			So Mostafa Ismail, mashAllah, his recitation was very
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			fantastic. I love him so much. So what
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			happened when he died? The
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			the law in Egypt said, when you die
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			you go to the graveyard. You don't have
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			a private,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			graveyard in your house or in your backyard.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			This is against the law.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			But his family wanted to make an exception
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			for him. He has this, villa, and he
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			has a backyard with, mashallah, very nice.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			So they sent his brother,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			that was in 1978,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			I was 20 year old.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			I'm old. So what happened, his brother went
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			to the prison of Egypt, he went to
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			Sadat, the prison of Egypt.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			And he said my brother passed away, and
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			Sadat loved him so much. He used to
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			like copy his example, used to recite for
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42
			Allah like him.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			So he said, I want to make an
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			exception for my brother, so we can bury
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			him in my backyard.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			So the sadaq says okay, the president said
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			okay, you can bury him in the backyard.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			So, Mustafa Ali Ismail's province said, Okay, actually
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			we can't do it because in Mu Hafiz,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			the mayor,
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			would not allow us to do it, so
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			we can't.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			So Sadas, you lost your mind,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			I'm the highest authority in the land, I'm
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			telling you can do it, and you're telling
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			me that the mayor will not allow you
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			to do it? Khalas, you got it, you
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			will do it. Right? Husnil van, you think
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			well of people. So if you think well
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			of people,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			what about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? He is
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			better than all of your thoughts.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			So we have to have And
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			the Prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			The Prophet said,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			don't ever pray for death, don't ask Allah
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			to take your life, don't make that dua.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			He said: If you are a good person,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			and Allah gives you more life, you will
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			do more hasanat, you will take more rewards,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			it's better for you.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			And if you are an evil person,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03
			and Allah gives you more life, it's a
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			second chance so you can make tawbah, and
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			it's a good thing for you. Either way
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			it's a good thing, don't ask for death.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			The Prophet says,
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			let let not anyone of you,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			die except when they have You
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			have this good thinking
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			of Allah Subhanahu wa'ala and the Prophet
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			said that 3 days before he died.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			So this is one of the last hadith,
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			that the Prophet said before he passed away.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			And also in another hadith in Bukhary, the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:46
			prophet
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			So the Prophet said, let not any one
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			of you pray for death or wish for
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			death.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			If you if your life is so difficult
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			and you have to say something, say, you
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:12
			Allah,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			give me a longer life if life is
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			good for me. And You Allah, if you
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			think life is bad for me, just take
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			my life. Okay, I want to go. This
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			is that dua you can say.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			When Allah Subhanahu
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			Wa
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			Ta'ala
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			So
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			when
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48
			you
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			have
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			personal
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			one, you think that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			is better than your expectations.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			He will take good care of you, He
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			will make things easier for you, He will
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			give you the foreword despite of all the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			shortcomings,
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			and Allah
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			will give you jannah out of His grace,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			not by His Justice. Because if it is
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			by His Justice, no one will go to
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			Jannah. If it is by His Grace, all
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			of us inshaAllah are going to Jannah.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			So he's making a distinction between
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			thinking well of Allah
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			and delusion.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			He said,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			He said, It is very easy to make
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			a distinction between thinking well of Allah and
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:56
			delusion.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			Having delusional thoughts of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			It's a hussnulfan,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			if this concept motivates you to be a
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			better person, to to always try to get
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			closer to Allah, to do good deeds, this
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			is hasnul done, thinking will of Allah. But
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			if it motivates you to be lazy,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			to not to do your part, not to
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			take care of the things that you're supposed
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			to take care of, you do sayyaat
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			thinking
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			that no matter what you do Allah will
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:23
			forgive you.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			So this would make you lazy, do bad
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			things, never try to be close to Allah
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is delusion.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			This is delusional thoughts. We'll continue in the
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			future inshallah my assistant is giving me a
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			hard time. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			to give us the best in this life,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			and the best in the life to come.
