allah sallallahu alayhi wa, he was hardly he was, is the final of all
the emissaries of Allah. Because
scholars, teachers, educators, students, elders, brothers and
sisters, I greet you with these universal greeting of peace, may
the peace the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon each and everyone
present here in this beautiful house of Allah on this auspicious
time of Juma.
My scene for today was going to be about facades and about
corruption.
And this was in view of the Panama Papers that have been leaked and
the
attempted
indictment on the preparation to this country in the whole notion
of facade and corruption.
Specifically regarding leadership.
We had a tremendous tragedy.
The entire family virtually was wiped out in an accident.
And two of our students passed away.
Two of them have survived.
And they lost both their parents in the accident.
Also,
quite a few of our friends that we know
are critically ill.
And then upon pondering, I thought, we rather reflect upon
how to deal with the challenges of life. We can always speak about
corruption some of the time.
Life is a roller coaster ride is never smooth. It was never meant
to be smooth.
Life is a test. The Baraka the bat Hill muku
Olivia follicle moto hayati,
life is a test
of the
death is a reality.
And as we acknowledge that life is a kaleidoscope,
inescapable situations, there is
also death. There is health, and there is invasiveness, there is
joy, but also sadness. There's games at time, at times a loss.
There's laughter and sometimes there are tears, there's joy and
damage their grief, the whiskies an inescapable reality of life,
whether people or people of faith or otherwise.
So we live in a universe of cause and effect,
the consequence of which also inescapable.
disease will affect in fact, time will, the persons Janz will
destroy water will drown these facts are realities but also have
moral and social implications. And all of these are realities which
we have to contend with. It is how we are able to deal with these
realities how we are able to respond to these realities to
determine the cause of our lives.
A wise person once said, Life is not the way it is supposed to be.
Life is the way it is.
It is how you cope with life that makes a difference.
We know from the Quran
the inevitable reality
couldn't do enough sin, desire to know each and every living thing
must face death.
Because
the only thing unchanging, affected
immortal
is the countenance of
everything else, everything else must eventually fade, and
everything will sometime come to an end.
So there is no avoidance of birth or death, we're not born without
permission.
Utilize the individual in the interval between birth and death.
And to use that time effectively, and that time is the distance
Allah subhanaw. Taala refers to, we must also realize, make this
world a permanent place. This is a temporary world, and everything
here is finite. And all things have a time limit. Nice, good
things forever. No other bad things eternal.
I spoke about the previous family, a father Muhammad, his wife for
the year, died in the accent accident
Hadees
we are working on the muffle engine.
So I
was the students at our school, they'll log on impatience.
One of our dear friends to the smell surgical, extremely you
just received news this morning, one of our ex students Mohammed
had been diagnosed with cancer.
Another person in the community well known the pharmacist,
also very, very critically ill.
So you reflect upon these realities of life and death and so
on.
These are realities of life, but also the nature
and training itself carries a tremendous power, power to cause
grief, but also power to cause more morning bow to conciseness.
But at the same time, cause for cooperation, cause for reflection,
cause for introspection.
But if everyone experiences difficulties, what is the benefit
of reading face?
To face?
Can
you imagine not even grief, but face into perspective.
Face provides a philosophy of living that emphasizes the
realities of life and inevitability of death. But all of
this in the larger context of a great existence, that we are part
of a temporary world, which is a test from which we eventually have
to graduate.
That is why in this life, patience is so significant, and so strongly
emphasize. And he's a mechanism for coping with trials and
tribulations of daily living
with chronic illness.
She does psalmody Be rest assured that you will be tested, you shall
be tested, tested, infected associate
you will be tested with some form of some form of hunger, some loss
of property, loss of life, loss of the fruits of your labor, and all
of which can be borne by those who have the capacity for peace and
perseverance and acknowledge the fact that
is our eventual return.
understand and acknowledge the fact that life
how use friends, demons
are temporary. The law may be there for a long time, that the
relationship and in
the end we come from Allah and beyond the journey back.
Living in this world is a short phase of our existence. And there
is an eternity that follows our status in this existence. beyond
this life depends by the mercy of a wall on the good that we do.
This patient perseverance is so significant that Allah says Allah
Allah.
Allah loves those patients who persevere in
those patients who persevere and suddenly for Iman, patients is
half of faith
before us
as we speak of illness of other people
and we are going to face
them
Often death is not so much a lesson from the dying.
Somebody told me what people need to know when someone dies in Cape
Town, that it turns into something. And talking is actually
not so much for the deaf person. By the way.
It's more to remind those who are ready someday you go through this
experience.
When going to sleep, we do not know, as we said, the companion of
the Prophet said, is
hierarchically mounting, when you wake up in the morning, there's no
getting to sleep tonight. When you sleep tonight, there's no
guarantee you'll wake up in the morning, take from your life, take
from your house, to benefit you to try to be in the best condition
that you can. So that when you become ill
only factors
to make sure that avoid because it compounds
are you unset or you eat
in moderately.
So take from your house what you do get sick, and take from your
life for the benefit you
and take from your life or benefit you and you die.
The Sufis have a beautiful saying or the audio field if you wish.
They say
the human being sacrifices his health, in order to get
busy living, earning a living or forget to live to the sources they
say, the human being sacrifices his health, in order to gain
wealth.
He sacrifices his wealth, to recuperate his health.
He saw heedless of the past, and so anxious about the future, that
he does not appreciate the present. But is
because he does not know in the present, knowing the future.
He lives as if he's never going to die. And he that he has died,
never having really lived.
So having what you have
a lower
living
forever and prepare for the
day tomorrow.
As always, do what needs to be done. As a resource. If you have a
CD in your hand, even if the company goes have to plan to see
what you can do
with things as if you always need to be here
and prepare for the hereafter
die tomorrow and put life into perspective.
But that means we need to live life to the full.
Because what matters is not the
death of the life we do we live.
And therefore there are people
more in 20 years and some people live in 80 years. Because they
don't just live they don't just survive. They live the life.
Our responsibility as people as we look at this, we pray for the well
being for the for those who are human for the recovery and shower,
and for the patient perseverance of those who are experiencing
hardship and grief. And for those who passed away. But we as people
need to find more ways in helping and sharing the burdens of others.
To make more life more pleasant.
We must learn to forgive me for injuries
and treat others the way we would like to be treated.
We must be more cognizant of the fact
that small things do matter to our smiles, our words of
encouragement, our expressions, our support. Each of these can
make a difference to someone somewhere who's wrestling with a
misfortune or a challenge of life.
On the face of history,
and each and every life
is a unique story and contribution to the larger story sometimes
drives and become a temporary part of his lives and sometimes become
a permanent part of each other's stories in part of the legacy.
All our lives are part of story. So important question is how do we
contribute to the largest audience? How do we engage
this notion of social interaction that
is the most the largest portion of our social interaction
when
some activities
element Allah knows best, so
socialize,
people in such a way that when you die, they cry for you. And when
you're alive, they want to be in your company.
We do know that each living thing must taste death.
To note when
you're on
and through life, each and every one was somehow we tested was
positive and negative realities of existence
before we return to Allah, for individual accountability
that is the call the admission
officer
documented
in the
someday you will die.
Someday you'll be separated
as you wish to realize that someday you will be held
accountable and paid back.
So we realize more than ever,
that life will come to an end someday,
existence in this world seems like a brief crack of light between two
long periods of darkness, the death is certain and wherever we
are in a magical mode, while quantum feeble.
Wherever you are, this will come in fact your
desk will reach you wherever you are.
Even if you live in fortified castles,
it will come and set you.
In the therefore
we are reminded of the Russell's words about the reality of life
and how fortunes change and how things evolve.
Value five things in your life before five other things may come
to pass. Value your health before sickness comes.
Before old age comes very you're free. Because before you become to
occupy value what you have before it loses its value or before you
lose it when you want to be met. And very low life before this
comes
and we need to realize it must realize Saudi documented in the
Muslim
Mohammed bin humba.
Shabaab
must realize that every day is a day further from our birth. And
every breath we breathe is a breath goes.
A certain as we are
so uncertain about this time, and we are
social Allah Allah He, he was.
There, whenever you do any action, even if you do prayer, pray as if
it's your last prayer. Don't assume there'll be another prayer.
We pray. Now Juma. Don't assume you'll be here faster.
Don't assume you'll be here faster. When you live with a ton
of consciousness, not in negativity, not in morbid, but the
reality of life.
Because someday you will make a prayer and the next to pray over
your body.
They will be none of us know. So they don't have a ticket for
Sunday. So whenever you pray, pray that prayer is your last prayer.
And
before this may come in this was
in the Hadith documented in
Kuta Yomi
whoever wakes up in the morning this is appreciation.
Whoever wakes up in the morning
secure in his house because we are so insecure nowadays.
Even saves in the teeth in our homes anymore with a burglar bars
and the gods
how relevant is that hadith of the Rasul 1400 years ago somewhere in
Medina and repeating around the bush
now 1400 years afterwards is more relevant now perhaps never ever
before. But
more often features in the
forgotten the minds of
the morning, secure in his bed secure in his own
healthy his body sufficient permission to survive for the day.
He is
without even realizing it.
That acute
is what we must have. Because always when we are sicker, we can
deal with somebody. And the sort of associate will put me in.
Unique is the case of the believer, in any given situation,
there's some benefit for him or
somebody
when he has something good happening, he is grateful.
And the gratefulness and gratitude is good for him. And when he goes
through difficulty or hardship, he patiently perseverance and
patience is good fun.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala God mafia and Jana, to Muhammad for
the Hadith. Students or kids hear their classmates have this from
the bed. And then the grandfather at the mosque in
the library janazah. And you were speaking to the Mufti who made the
janazah and told them, he said, What can I say, I've come to bury
my whole family. I come from another country to hear, and he
I'm putting is supposed to bury me. And I'm building the whole
family, children and my grandchildren. That is the reality
of life.
value what you have, value your family value, your parents value
your your children, value what you have, someday, you may or may not
have it, or someday, you may not be there to appreciate it. May
Allah subhanaw taala grant massive engine for the impatient
perseverance for courage in the students in our school. Classmates
sitting here. May Allah grant him the capacity to be able to
patiently persevere
to facilitate them to be able to patiently persevere and help them
wherever we can.
But the smokers, Muhammad
whatever is best for them in the condition to find
relief. May Allah guide the hands of the surgeons and those who are
dealing with them, the end result of everything be good, and may
Allah forgive us for our shortcomings. Aquila was
