Talking today about a verse from the Quran,
which is the last verse of the chapter
of Sabbath.
Verse number
454.
That Allah explained
for us
why we have to be careful
with our time and our life.
Just
in the day of judgment,
Allah
told
us about kind of people
they wasted their life and they wasted their
times,
and they regret.
They asked Allah
to come back again
to this temporary life
even for a few minutes or few
hours, few days,
but
it's impossible
for anyone to die and to come back
again. If
you remain in the grave,
you cannot come back
again
out of the grave.
This is
the thing that we have to understand.
The verse that Allah
explained
that he says,
that Allah
explained in this chapter,
the chapter of Sabah.
And he says,
almighty Allah,
and a barrier
will be set between them and that which
they desire.
It might inhabit it might happen for anyone
of us.
If we are able to eat or drink
or walk or sleep,
it might
be difficult for some some of us later
on.
There is some people,
they cannot eat normally,
and they wish
if they have a chance
to eat
normally,
in the normal way.
And there is some people, they cannot walk
anymore.
They become
unable to do something
like they used to do before.
And this is a warner,
a big
warner
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
for all of us.
If you are able to do something today,
hurry up
and do as much as you can.
Because
it might come
one day,
and we will not be able to do
it anymore.
If you do not believe in your Lord,
this is the truth. And Allah explained
the for the second sentence of the verse.
As
in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And Allah eliminated
them, and Allah destroyed them, and we might
have the same situation.
What is the difference
between us and the previous nations?
The previous people, they rejected the message of
Allah
from their prophets and their messengers.
And the same
idea,
if we do so,
we we might have the same result
that they
had.
Like what Allah did
against
their partners
in
disbelief,
for disbelievers.
And our chance today,
it might be
unlimited.
Just we can do as much as we
can.
For tomorrow or future, it might be limited.
If we if we can pray 5 times
a day,
and we have to do it on time,
As soon as possible.
If we can pray
standing,
we have to do it.
Because this is a sign from Allah
that we are able to do that.
If we neglect this
situation and we said we cannot do that
because we are busy with our lives or
with our
dunya,
and we will wish tomorrow
to come back again to previous situation,
but it will
be impossible.
1
verse in Surat al Mu'minoon,
the chapter of believers,
that Allah gave us other example
of a lot of people in the day
of judgement.
He's talking
about a single person, but the single person,
this is the single situation.
A lot of people, they might have the
same situation
in their graves
or in hereafter.
Oh my lord,
send me back
to the life.
I will do righteous
deeds.
I will not have the same situation that
I had before.
I promise, I swear, I will be good.
Subhan Allah. And when we have the chance,
just we lose it.
There is
a pious
man,
he built for himself
in his own
room
a grave.
Somebody will say he's a crazy man, you
know. You know, even when we hear about
death,
most of us
feel not comfortable.
But this is the reality, the hidden reality
we do not
know. And this man,
every single night before the time of death,
he used to enter into his his grave
that he built by himself.
And
he talked to himself
directly.
And he
he recite the verse.
Oh my lord, give me chance to go
back again to my life, and I will
do good.
I will do righteous deeds.
And after a while,
same thing. And I'm going to ask you
to ask me, how can I help you?
How can I help you? How can I
help you? How can I help you? How
can I help you? How can I help
you? How can I help you? How can
I help you? How can I help you?
How can I help you?
You ask it
to have one more chance
to go back to Dunia, to temporary life,
to do righteous deeds,
and
your request
was accepted.
And you have to do
good deeds and righteous deeds because
the day will come, and you will be
inside the grave, and you will ask to
be returned,
and no one will listen to you.
And this is
for all
of
us. It's not for disbelievers.
It's for believers also.
If you really love
to worship Allah,
if you really love to recite Quran,
if you really love to prostrate yourself
or to bow to your Lord,
you know, some people really really love to
do that.
And if you if we are able today
to pray or to recite
Quran or to do Istighfar,
we might lose the chance tomorrow.
And we might find difficulties
to do it
tomorrow.
And this is the idea.
And a barrier will be set between them
and
that which they desire,
like Allah
did
against
the people before them.
Our a chance.
Today,
it's much bigger
than tomorrow
to do good deeds.
This is if we have normal situation,
if we really feel that we we will
not die,
but it will be the worst case
if
the death comes to us
before we we prepared ourselves
to receive it.
You know, our example,
all of us,
the rich people and the poor people
as
an ant.
You know, the ant, the small ant
collecting
the grains
for the season of summer
to storage all these grains
for the winter
as a treasure for them to eat during
the winter time.
One time,
the
ant goes outside
and pick up a grain.
And she tried to hold
ate the ant with the the grain.
The ant did not
eat the grain,
even did not enjoy what what she
collected before.
And this is our example.
Look at ourselves.
We work so hard every single day.
We really
doing amazing job.
But unfortunately some of them, they do it
for the sake of dunya only, not for
the sake of Allah.
And when the time of this
comes to some of us,
we have no chance.
We have to leave. We have to go.
And we cannot take any
things that we collected
except
the righteous
deeds that we have done in our life.
One day,
prophet Muhammad
was lying down, laying down on the mat.
And the mat left a big mark in
his skin.
And Sayedna Umar and some companions really were
so
mad. And they said, oh, Rasulullah,
we can find a very nice rug for
you or carpet,
like Kisla and Kaisar.
And he was so
angry, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And he told
them.
And he said the very famous
hadith, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, for all of
us
to learn.
He said,
my example
for myself and the dunya
the example of a
rider
who arrived his
camel,
and he choose to take
a rest in the middle of his trip
or his journey
under the shade of the tree,
and I'm gonna go back
to
the
next
question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
I'm gonna go back to the next question.
As as a travelers,
you know, the shade of the tree which
is the dunya,
the temporary life for all of us.
And we have to leave
the shade of the tree Even if we
enjoy
our staying or our dwelling,
one day we must leave it, or the
dunya must leave us.
Either way,
just to be
wise
and smart.
Use the time that Allah
gave you
wisely
for the sake of Allah to be proud
of
your time that you spend for the sake
of Allah
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Just for all of
us as a reminder,
today,
we
have to be grateful.
We have to be thankful
because we can speak,
we can eat,
we can drink, we can talk, we can
walk, we can sit. We subhanallah.
It's a lot of bounties from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala for all of us or most
of us.
We have to take advantage
before the time
we will
be prevented
from our desires or from our wishes.
This is my advice for myself,
my brothers, my sisters,
take advantage
of the opportunity that Allah gave us. May
Allah
help all of us out
to understand
our mission in this life
and to work hard to achieve the highest
level in paradise
with our beloved prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him, and his companions.
