Omar Suleiman – Jannah #15 – Your Friends in Jannah

			I saw he was ill Jana, we're in Iran. Now, a friend will drag you, either to paradise or to
hellfire. And the company we choose here will likely be who we're going to be resurrected with and
who we ended up spending eternity with. So choose your friends wisely doesn't just mean for the
purpose of this world. In fact, to a greater extent, the next world, I always marvel at people that
do heads together, or people that share Ramadan with each other, or people that share some sort of
deep religious experience and they create these bonds that are unlike the bonds of anything else.
Because just like loving Allah subhanaw taala is not like loving anyone else. Loving someone for the
		

			sake of Allah is not like loving anyone else for the sake of anything else.
		

			Witness available the low tide on who has a very touching story about our mother, it settled the low
on. He says that one day I went to visit Aisha, and she was my aunt. And I wanted to ask her some
questions. And I found her standing up praying, and she was reading Quran. And when she was reading
these ayat, and she would cry, and she would make dua, and she would repeat the ayat and She'd cry,
and she'd make your app. So they said that she was taking so long that I told myself let me go shop
because I have some things to do. And then I'll come back later when she's done. So he said, I went
to the souk. I did what I had to do, and I came back after a long time, and I found her reciting the
		

			exact same idea. And it is an ayah from Surah toto Allah subhanaw taala says what ox Bella Bahama
Allah bologna Tessa alone Carlu in Kuna cob Luffy early na mas Philippine Furman Allah who are
Elena, while Aparna adabas simile, so we heard you showed the low on her reciting the last part of
this, the ayah says that people start coming close to one another in Jana, and asking about each
other. And they're curious if someone they loved made it, and if someone is missing. And so they
start to say that we remember before where we used to fear a loss of Hannah to Anna together amongst
our people. And Allah subhanaw taala has been gracious to us, and saved us from the torment of the
		

			Fire. So I said all the low and he was repeating this last part over and over again, this
conversation between friends in Jannah, where they say, how merciful was ALLAH to us, when he
pardoned us and freed us, as we used to be amongst our people, those that believed in Allah subhanaw
taala and feared him. Indeed, we used to call upon Allah subhanaw taala alone before and we used to
fear him alone before. And Allah subhanaw taala is truly most kind and Most Merciful. Friends that
used to worship Allah together, knew that they were strangers together in this dunya and now they're
celebrating being the only people in Paradise because all of the people of paradise are people who
		

			were righteous, even when they were in the midst of great wickedness. And so these conversations
start to unfold, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, When the people of paradise
enter it, then friends that used to worship Allah subhanaw taala. Together, they'll start to long
for one another. And so what happens, the couch of one person will move to the couch of the other,
and Allah subhanaw taala will bring them close together, and they will meet reclining on their
couches, remembering their days, and a person will say to his friend, do you know what Allah
subhanaw taala forgave us like when this was unlocked for us? And the friend will reply on such and
		

			such day. And in such in such place, we call upon Allah subhanaw taala and He forgave us. So as
you're looking back with each other, you know, what do you think was the moment was it later to
Qatar? Was it the 27th night in the masjid together? Was it hedged together? When was it that
Allah's pants out forgave us? And you know exactly the moment that in this dunya Allah subhanaw
taala unlocked for you, the Jannah that you are now enjoying, and another narration the Prophet
slice, and I'm said, among the delights of the people of Paradise will be that they visit one
another on mounts and camels. And there'll be supplied with these noble horses with saddles that do
		

			not defecate or urinate. And they ride them wherever they want to by the mercy of Allah subhanho to
Allah. And this is not just true for friends that lived as contemporaries, because just like there
are families across the generations that we spoke about, there are friends across generations as
well.
		

			Have you loved the Sahaba as if they were your own Sahaba as if they were your own companions. Now
you get to go and visit them as you please the Sahaba that you use to long for now you long for them
and you see them. And what are the people talk about what are these righteous friends talk about
when they come together. Now a lot of it is what they used to do. A lot of it is catching up on old
memories. And that's part of the joy of the people of Paradise because certainly this isn't
wickedness. Maybe they are reflecting on how they were before they got religious and maybe they're
just reflecting on old times and old jokes. But rites is friends also discuss things that they used
		

			to discuss in this life. And so have no claim Rahim Allah, He says that imagine the students of
knowledge, the people that used to care so much about religious knowledge, continuing their
discussions in Jannah. So you're trying to understand the Quran and the Sunnah, certain filthy
things, certain episodes of the Sierra, you're trying to get all of that in Jana together and you're
continuing that discussion there. Except now when you want to know if a hadith authentic, you walk
over to the narrator who's literally right there. And if you want to know about an element of the
Sierra, go ask the prophets lie. Some are asked the person that it involves, it's just a part of
		

			their joy. And even though I am Rahim, Allah said, this type of discussion for people who love the
deen people who love them, is the sweetest thing in this world. And now it's even better in Jannah.
And he said, that's only for the students of knowledge, and Subhanallah there's something very
beautiful here that the prophets lysosome said that circles of knowledge are gardens of Paradise in
this earth. And now, those circles of knowledge are continuing literally in the gardens of Paradise.
Now, unlike family when it comes to friends, sometimes you have some friends that are not just going
to be on a different level in terms of paradise, but you'll have some friends that are in hellfire.
		

			And it's not like you all get joined together by virtue of one person being in a particular part of
paradise. However, intercession is still a thing and you want to be a person who is interceding, not
being interceded for, and the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, he said that there are some people who
enter into hellfire, and they will remain they're never dying and never living. But there are others
who will enter Hellfire because of their sins. And they will be burnt inside of hellfire until they
turn like coals. And then permission will be granted for Chef out for intercession. And they will be
brought out of it in groups, and there'll be spread over the side of the rivers of paradise. And
		

			then it will be said, yeah, that agenda at a field. What are they him, oh, people of paradise, pour
water on them. And so some of the people of Paradise will come and they'll pour water on those
people, and they will grow like seeds and a valley after a flood. And the messenger of allah
sallallahu Sallam he said fairly there are some people who will be brought out of the fire having
been burnt all over except for their faces. And they will enter paradise with all traces of the fire
removed after their friends pour water on them. And the people of Paradise will say, these are the
people of hellfire who were brought out and admitted into Jannah. They are a Jana Miyun. Now, as
		

			Pamela this is something very significant because it really speaks to this idea of pulling your
friend out, have a hard time, you know, we talked about a sloth he was a friend is someone who
drags. Don't just be someone that hangs out with righteous people that can drag you right. But also
think of how you can save others and the reward the tremendous reward of being a source of hedaya
being a source of guidance for others, while seeking the best companions who are upon guidance your
entire life, looking for the effect that they have upon you in this dunya and looking for their
possible intercession to at least elevate you, and Paradise. And that's why the prophets lice and
		

			I'm said, adhere to the gemera adhere to the community. Beware of separation. For indeed che Bong is
with the one who is alone, and he is further away from to whoever wants the best place in paradise,
then let him stick to the gemera Let him stick to the community. And so if you want the best
companions of paradise, then love and follow the Prophet slice them and his companions as if they
were your contemporaries. Maybe now they actually will be your contemporaries without any fear of
ever losing.
