00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			I bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			of our worship except Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			and I bear witness that Muhammad, salallahu alayhi
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			wa sallam, peace be upon you, is the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			seal of the prophets and the final messenger
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			to all of humanity. Whomever Allah, Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			Ta'ala, guides, there is none to misguide him.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			And whomever Allah
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			needs to go astray, there is none to
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			guide
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			So today, inshallah, we'll be talking about
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			a very,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			important and vital topic.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			The topic is a in the Islamic will
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			and testament.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			So those of you who fall asleep in
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			the footpath, please pay attention for just 10
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			minutes.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			So when we talk about the last will
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			and testament from a Muslim perspective or what
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			we call wasiyyah in Arabic,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So we mean the plan
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			of action
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			for what to be done after the person
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			leaves this life in terms of the funeral,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			the debts, the money he owes or she
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			owes, and so on and so forth.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			By, we mean the plan for what to
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			be done after the death. We all hear
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			about sudden death. Someone is alive and healthy
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			and everything, and all of a sudden, the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			person dies. We heard a lot of stories
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			of youth and brothers and sisters
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			who work with us
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			in the last 2 years. And today, they're
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			not with us anymore. And the stories have
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			so many. There's no need to give examples.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			We ask the most
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			to forgive all of them.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			So once the person dies and he or
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			she was not expecting death, nobody knows what
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			to do. How to do this funeral, what
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			to do with their debts and their money.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			And we don't know if they owe money
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			or they owe somebody debts or anything. We
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			don't know nothing.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Because the brother or the sister, he was
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			not expecting death, so he didn't make his
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			maseeb.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			Also, some of us, they live here in
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			this country
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			by themselves.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			Their families live back home, 10000, 15,000
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			miles away. So once the person dies, nobody
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			knows anything about them. We don't know who
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			to contact, who who to call back from,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			and where to call. Nobody knows anything.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			And also, those of us who live here,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			and they work
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			anywhere or they work at Fort McMurray or
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			what they call Fort McMurray.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Okay? So they make lots of money,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			but when they die,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			who is gonna take their money? The Canadian
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			government will take most of the money, and
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			their families who live back home, they're not
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			taking anything unless they have to to fight
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			to take it to the court and fight
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			to get your money.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Also, the parents,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			they're going somewhere, they're shopping, whatever, they're driving
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			their car and their kids at school and
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			accidents happen. Who's gonna take care of the
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			kids?
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Most likely, the government would put them for
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			adoption and somebody would take them. Maybe a
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			Christian family, a Hindu family. Nobody knows.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			So you have to make sure you leave
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			your kids in reliable hands before you leave
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			because you don't know this family. Nobody
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			knows.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			But sometimes, and we hear about this all
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			the time. Yeah. I mean, a lot of
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			our brothers, they get married to non Muslim
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			ladies, especially Christian ladies when they come to
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			this country.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			So once the person dies, his wife, who
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			is not Muslim, she doesn't know what to
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			do. Then she might take the body to
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			the church, and they cry over you, in
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			the church.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			Or in some cases,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			and you probably heard of this, they cremate
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			the body.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			Barbecue.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Okay? So they burn the body to save
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			some money. And this happens, and I heard
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			a lot of stories. So you have to
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			put in your will see what to be
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			done after your death.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			So Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, says in the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			Quran in chapter 2, that Allah, Subhanahu Wa
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			Ta'ala, has ordained for you
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			before your death that you make a wafin.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			If you leave something of value,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			or if
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			you call it
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			that the prophet says that every Muslim
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			who has something of value
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			should not stay for 2 days without having
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			his wasi written with him.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			Something of value. So Abdullah Nohmar radhiallahu
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			He said, my father came to me at
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			night and he said, I will probably be
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			the 1st to die tomorrow in the battle.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			And I don't love anyone in this world
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			more than you except the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			wa sallam. So I love the prophet sallallahu
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			alaihi wa sallam more than you. You're only
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			second.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			I have a lot of debts, so you
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			need to pay them if I die. And
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			take good care of your brothers and sisters.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			So Jabez Adelai said, the first thing in
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			the morning when the battle started,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			my father was the first one to die
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			in the battle as he himself predicted.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			So he said, I buried him,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			and they brought another man, and they buried
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			him next to my father in the same
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			grave. So he said, I didn't feel good
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			about my father being buried with, someone
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			else, so I decided to undock or undig
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			my father and bury him somewhere else. So
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			when he said, when I opened the grave,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			I found my father 6 months later,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			in the same condition that I buried him.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			The whole body was the same exactly
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			just like
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			I buried him, like, a minute ago. It's
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:52
			the same thing.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			So the first thing to be written in
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			the what
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			to be done at your funeral? Who to
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			wash you and who to bury you and
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			who to leave the for you? And you
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			should also tell people what to do
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			in the Tell him to do good things
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and to give salam on your behalf
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			and to forbid doing bidah or innovations or
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			to do terrible cultural things that have nothing
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			to do with the religion in your Janazah.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			And number 2, you put your belongings in
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			terms of money,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			land, houses.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			If somebody owes you money, your bank accounts,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			you have to put all this in your
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			you write down what you owe other people,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			like debts. So if you also buy some
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			money, tell your family, I owe this person
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			that much and I owe that person that
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			much, so pay them your vows in the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			noon.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			And, also, if you haven't paid the dawah
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			to your wife, make sure that your family
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:56
			pays the dawah.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			Two conditions here. Number 1, it has to
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			be within 1 third of your money. And
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			number 2, it should not be for someone
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			who already takes a share from your inheritance.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			And the prophet
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			says, there's no bequest for someone who already
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			takes a share from the
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			So it has to be within the 3rd,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			and again, there's no obligation to bequest
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			money. It's optional if you want to get
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			the reward. So in this authentic hadith, Salil
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			Nabi waqalimbuqalim,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			he asked the prophet, he said, if he
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			can't give all his money in charity, The
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said no.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			2 thirds? No. 1 half? No.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			1 third? The prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			says, yes. 1 third and 1 third is
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			too much. So give 1 third or less.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			Then the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, says,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			it is better
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			to leave your ears, your children, and family,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			and your mother, and parents, and so on
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			and so forth. It is better to leave
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			them rich than to leave the poor begging
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			people for money. That's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			So you have to maintain justice when you
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			do the wasiyeh. You shouldn't give some of
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			your children more than others. You have to
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			keep justice between them. The prophet says in
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			this authentic hadith in Muslim of Abi and
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			Muslim Imam Ahmad, it's an authentic hadith
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			that some of you
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			may live for 70 years, and they do
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			righteous deeds all the time. They're good people.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			But before they die, they make a and
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			they don't give everyone their rights. They give
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			to some, and they withhold from others. So
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			they give to some of their children, for
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			example, and they prevent others. They deprive them.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			So this person within his life with an
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			evil deed, then he will be punished as
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			a hellfire as the prophet
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			Where can I get the? It's available at
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			the office here,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			over the past few weeks,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			I've taken care of the the form in
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			Arabic and in English. So it's available in
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			the office and also at the our website,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			rasheedmaz.ca.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			You can go. It's on the front page.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			You can download it either in Arabic and
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			English.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			Fill it out. Get 2 witnesses
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			and take it to a notary. You have
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			to take it to a lawyer to make
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			it binding legally.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:30
			We ask
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			Allah to forgive our sins and protect our
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			good deeds and to give us the best
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			in this life and in the life to
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			come. Just Allah
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			The next Khutba next week will be my
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			farewell sermon because we are leaving to Egypt
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			inshaAllah to finish my PhD. And in the
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			next few weeks inshallah, 1 or 2 imams
