Turman ala Sayidina Muhammad Allah Dixon Hello, Baylor rocket Watson
fairy Jubilee caught up with Chuck Bobby at our age veterinary we
heard of the hospital, how will you suspect a man will be redhead
kitty while he will be he was Selim Tasneem. Today we get to
talk about and Allah has honored us to be able to speak today about
the most important issue. And that is what happens after we pass
away. And a lot of people start thinking about this when things go
sour in the life, then this issue of what happens after we die is
one of the greatest sources of relief.
In life, there's always going to be a time and where your
tribulations get so bad. And your situation gets so bad that all you
care about is to simply ask yourself, is to say to yourself,
What am I going to leave this had to do here? The good efforts
between people and the differences and the burdens that come upon
people can get so bad that a person would desire and wish as
the prophets I seldom said there will come a time when people wish
that they were beneath the ground.
But we don't wish for this in a morbid sense. But what we actually
believe is that what's going to come is really better is far
greater than this has done. And it doesn't require that a person's
life is bad, that he would want to be in the afterlife. And it
doesn't mean he wants death either. Right? It doesn't in the
sense that I want to kill myself or something. No, that's not what
we're talking about when we're talking about what is to come is
great or even for life that's really good in this life. There's
a famous story of the great Syrian scholar who spoke out against his
ruler, and he ended up getting forced out his name is allays if
not the salaam he's called. So Don, and all Emma is now just sit
down. And he was it is saying from the followers of an emergency Abul
Abbas who was the follower of Abu Hassan assuredly, and as an Abdus
Salam, he was rich. He was a scholar, he was dressed in all
white one day, go into one day go to the masjid. And he wrote on a
horse, which was an expensive horse.
And a man came to him a homeless man. And he said, Are you the ones
in your Hadith of the of your prophet? You say that this dunya?
Here is the dunya is your paradise. Sorry, the paradise of
the non believer and the prison of the believer? And he said yes, we
do say that hadith we have a hadith, the prophesy stem said
this heritage Jr is the prison of the cafe is the gender of the
cafe. And it is the sigil of the moments a prison of the believer.
Because we have limits, right? And Kevin does not have these limits,
he can observe it. And then what is to come his worst. So he said
that look at yourself. How is this prison for you when you're this
rich. And you're just like this, and all these people love you. And
you're writing this wonderful horse. And then look at me, I'm
homeless and poor and impoverished. And as I said, this
is because relatively speaking, what is to come for me.
Okay, this is a prison.
And relative to speaking what is to come for you. This is paradise,
relative to the to the to the punishment that you're gonna have
for what you hold.
And I believe in the story the man really took took that believed in
it, and he ended up entering Islam. Now we do have to point
that
in that statement, there's some Nobel other some sort of
exaggeration and maybe persuasive approach where you nobody can say
that they're going to paradise or not. And nobody could say anyone's
going to join them or not. Right. But point being, what happens in
Athleta is far greater for a moment, than no matter how wealthy
and he is to do here, all of Annamma is going to have some
limits, the best food you have, it's still going to have a point
where you don't want to eat it anymore. So even the greatest of
now I'm here in this life, it has built into it that you get bored
of it, or it's built into it that there is a side effect to it.
Okay, side effects being for example, you get sick, you get
gout from too much meat, right? There's always a side effect or
some namah that eventually you get it you become so accustomed to it,
that it's not something that you enjoy anyway, that's the nature of
most blessings unless you remind yourself to be grateful.
Everything gets old, you can marry the best person in the world. But
keep in mind one day he or she is going to begin to get old. They're
not going to look the way they look now. They're not going to be
who they are. Right now.
Okay, so the first thing that happens to a moment is that if you
live your life, right, the end of life becomes the best phase of
life. Okay?
When you when you live, right, the end of life becomes either a
purification or a foreshadowing of your, your reward. And where's the
reward? It's the reward of people honoring you.
The reward of somebody who live well, is that eventually people
will honor him in this life. And how does Allah try to honor
somebody at the end of their life very simply,
through the youth, through his kids through his grandkids, they
all respect him, they asked his daughter, they view him as someone
near to Allah Tada. So that's how Allah to Allah offers you the
message that you are near to him, that everyone else starts viewing
you that way. The youth start coming to the elders, they go to
the elders, and they asked for his dot, they go to the elder and they
believe that the buttock or the the reader of the grandfather or
the reader is the reader of Allah. Right that if my Father is pleased
with me, then that Allah is pleased with me. So what does that
tell you? This is Allah's way of communicating to His pleasure with
him. And Allah's way of honoring it is to make him older so that
everyone respects him. Right. So this stuff, this is the first
point of Allah's reward for somebody in this life is as they
get older, in every other phase, in every other profession, every
other job, every other thing, it has an end, that's very premature.
So let's take pro athletes, by the time they're 40, they're finished
right? Maximum, they're gonna go to 45. If they're amazing,
nothing that's going to come afterwards is going to equate the
equal the thrill of their championships in the previous
phase of their career, like it's never going to come close. And
that's one of the hardest thing that athletes have to live with.
So they have to keep busy doing business, right? Like,
you know, doing ads opening restaurant, they have to keep
busy, but nonetheless, still, it will never equate the moment of
happiness that they had when they won a championship. So you
actually set up for failure. Right You're set up that the rest of
your life is never going to be equivalent to the previous life.
If you talk to businessmen, even businesses exhausting thing
there's going to come a point 15 1617 years old hellos you don't
have the energy anymore to keep up you're gonna go downhill except
for spirituality.
Spirituality is the phase of life or it's a it's it's a matter where
the greatest moments is always towards the end. And the greatest
unveilings for someone who's devoted their life to this app is
toward the end of their life. It happens more as you move on in
life. And Allah Tada honors these individuals more as they move on
in life. So really, when we talk about Africa, we should really
realize that it begins in this life. That old age is the first
reflection of a person's state in the ACA. He's the last prophesy
sent to you by thought of mother while mmm, really, a person is
resurrected upon how he dies. So how does that person die upon he's
dies upon taqwa, upon salah, upon a bed upon do upon them, we need a
approving of we recognize the approval, the approval of the full
QA of us is extremely important. If you don't have full QA that
approve of you, then where's your Senate, very loosely speaking,
that the things that you are saying in general, of course, no
one can monitor every specific thing that anyone says, per se,
choose a focal quality element add him above everyone who has
knowledge is someone who has more knowledge. So this idea that you
always refer back you always, no matter what age a person is, they
always there's a in Yemen schewe that I heard of in their 60s, they
go to attend to you to other teachers, even if they attend to
someone younger than them. And it's said in the books of Hadith,
about the gentle Hadith, that you do not become a true scholar,
until you sit with people who are older than you, equal to you and
younger than you. Why? Because that shows that you value the
knowledge more than your ego.
There's going to come a time where there's nobody older than you
anymore. You still sit with those younger than you why those younger
folk ah, they may be more sharp than you there is something called
the hustler to say to him, and even even almost talks about this,
at the end of it, but almost life, what would you do? He would send
everyone to say he did and we'll save
it. We'll go to site and we'll say get your photo from site and we'll
say he's not even just a hobby. Here's a great great Sahabi he's
saying Go get your ruling from site and we'll say ask site and
we'll say why He's young. He's energetic. He's studying Abdullah
bin Omar. He's lived a long life. He went blind. The end of his life
if I'm not mistaken. Yes, I'm pretty sure he went blind at the
end of his life. A lot of the Arabs went blind from the amount
of dates
This is one of the theories that they eat so much sugar dates. And
that's one of the things that causes a type of diabetes that
results in blindness, that he was busy preparing for his ACARA. And
they stopped reviewing their knowledge. This happens to a lot
of people. So he goes to sit with somebody else. I saw a man he was
has a white beard, This man must have been close to 80 years old.
And he used to sit in all the gatherings of the young pups
coming up pups, not even white hair and their beards, and he sits
in their gatherings. Why? Because they're sharp, they're looking for
the truth at all set. Okay, so you, you're never going to stop
sitting with with those who are
busy with knowledge so that we can actually they're the believers who
are believers like a mirror, and anyone who stops is gonna go
astray. If you stop, you're gonna go straight guaranteed the amount
of Syria I read one time after JAMA, they have a lunch together
and they sit together this is what keeps them all on the same
wavelength. So nobody goes off, develops an idea in his head,
okay, you stay on the same wavelength. So the first after in
old age is your first reflection of a person state. A person who is
upon taqwa in old age is is one of the best things so much so the
prophets of Allah when he was sent him said with every white hair is
sin is erased and a good deed is replaced for him until he becomes
completely Shava. Complete Shaybah which means all fully white beard
and fully white hair. Right then Allah to add up the angels
pronounce him he is Allah's after 80 years old, they call them
Allah's prisoners on the earth.
And they say when he comes completely white haired that
everything he does is forgiven this hadith. Of course, we don't
say that the Sharia is not applicable to them said he has
always applicable, but they're forgiven of all their sins and
everything they do consider her Senate. So that's the age and I
saw some men that were amazing. And that's why we go to masajid.
So you can see where you're going in life. There is a man who is an
Egyptian men. Every day at the same hour, he'd come out of the
bus stop, and he spent the whole day though her to us to muck it up
in the restroom. And then you go home after a lot. And so one day I
figured let me talk to this man. And back in those days, he had a
Walkman and he had ear buds. This was a regular man. He was a
regular Egyptian man.
Not a scholar, not a student of knowledge even today. So what's
your status? He said, Hello us we lived life.
Retired,
had nothing to do except go to the masjid. And so he goes down every
day he prays fetch in the masjid, comes back, sleeps again. wakes
up, has breakfast with his wife, run some errands. Then he's off.
He spends from daughter to ask her to Mother him in the masjid. And
then and this is the big central mosque which is exciting. This
field of people has a restaurant in it has a bookstore, a library
has everything in it has classes. And then I show he prays in his
local mosque. This is routine. And he listens to the Quran on his
headphones. And he reads he reads Quran half the time he sits any
chit chats with the with the janitors half the time, but that's
how he lived the end of his life. And that's how you have to look
for the sheep in the masajid who are at the end of their life. And
Allah has blessed him with Taqwa. Because don't think this is a
given. You have also seen the opposite to you all seen the
opposite of people he's like, extremely involved in a murder
indeed, at a certain phase of life.
And then it peters out. And it's scary. Why did he peter out like
this? Why did this person sort of phase out?
Okay, it happens. A situation a divorce. We know guy disappeared
for 10 years. Why did he disappear a divorce knocked him out, knocked
him on his keister did not was not involved in anything. Okay for
about for a good decade, took about 15 years to get back on
track. You never want this to happen. You want stability in your
relationship with Allah.
Now well, here's one of the best things is when the righteous
person is on their deathbed. And Allah Tada will unveil for them a
lot of the unseen.
When a righteous person is on their deathbed, a lot of stories
come that they're seeing things of the afterlife. They're seeing it
with their heart. They don't know if they're seeing it with their
heart or their eyes at this point. And it's written in the books that
the heart may see something but if but the eye also can see it at the
same time. It'd be so animals they see the vibe to animals see angels
with their eyes. We don't see them with our eyes, but we can see them
with our heart. But these unveilings happen to people on
their deathbeds, to the point that they can testify that they're
seeing melodica that they're seeing Ambia welcoming them that
they're seeing people that they used to know from the solder Hain
and an example
from one of the automat, Hashem was dying, great noble Ireland. He
was dying. He's on his deathbed. His sister used to always visit
them Tuesday. All right, take care of them. So he says his son he
said, Look call your aunt teller. Don't not to be upset but don't
come Tuesday. I have special guests coming on Tuesday. And then
he told his son clean up the whole house and put white sheets out
there like whiteness, right? So covered, covered the couches in
white, just him up in white and sit them up on the bed.
And then he said no, he waited and waited in the sunset nobody came.
And then all of a sudden, he hears his father said Allah when you
said I'm speaking in the room, shouting Marhaba anbi Rasulullah
marhaba baby Bakr Siddiq marhaba, the Honorable Nakata Marham, they
automatically now forget Muhammad Ali believe nobody thought him and
talking and talking and talking.
Then quiet. Then he called out for his son. He said we could take his
clothes off now. Tell your sister to come.
So sunset nobody came. So he said son, don't think I'm crazy.
haven't lost my mind. And he had to prove to him he didn't lose his
mind by telling him the date. The time what happened everything that
happened to prove to him that he didn't lose his mind. He said what
happened was I had received last night.
Okay, a vision in which Allah has and the messenger sai Solomon the
forklift has will visit me before my death. And he was seeing this
in the wake. That's why don't think of Africa as just something
that happens after you die. It really begins in this life. We're
told these narratives we believe them. These are big Hadith and
fiqh. Scholars of Ultima Sherm and Egypt and many every land of the
muscles will have this every single end of the muscles will
have stories like this, and of England, where there are pious
people who have been there for ages longer than in America. And
soon inshallah here too. We'll have people who are people have
serious taqwa and devotion to Allah data that have these types
of karamat at the end of time, yes, somebody said in the chat
Subhan Allah He said his aunt, when her father was passing away
in those moments of death. He said to his wife look, Habib made
measured on her dad, Rohan is here survival is helping me so because
Subhanallah seek Muhammad mitzvah. Ryan just said a person commented
on one of the other platforms that someone said the same exact thing
that have you ever I'm not sure how that came to him to help him
recite the Kadima, which is Lila illAllah. Before you die, you want
to die upon saying that you learned Allah. But as a 15th
matter, you should never tell a dying person to say that Allah had
a love because they may actually be tongue tied. They may be tired.
And you may think that they can't say it because they're like cursed
or something, which they're not they may not be but
there was a Sheikh Mohammed Metolius Shara with the most
famous preacher of the last century from the Arabs.
On his deathbed, he said he received a visitation from Sedna
at Hussein, right? And it's known who was buried in Egypt say that
Hussein, right. So he said he, he said it is an honor for you to
visit us up on our deathbeds mandala and give us a Kenya. So
what we're doing in sacrificing and being
you know, people who are trying to practice his Deen regardless of
what society is telling us, that's where our reward is going to be.
And for the Cabal Olia.
They have that way before their moment of death, way before their
moment of death. Many many as say naughty says the unseen becomes as
if it's seen for them.
So but after someone passes away, what happens the actual act of
passing away is that Melaka Mota is about it as we know he's taken
your soul. But that takes another soul, it could be something
painful, or gonna be something extremely painful. But everybody
is going to sense a little bit of a hardship to it. Even the
prophesy centum said, the MO Tez saccharides, which is such an
extreme anxiety, why if I came up to you, and I said, I'm going to
pull some a tooth out of your your mouth, and you had to lay back and
you see like a hand going into your mouth. You're no matter what
how many times you've done it before, you're going to be
uncomfortable. It's not a comforting thing. Imagine now
someone's coming to take your soul out of your body. Firstly, it's
something you've never done before. You have to think about it
this way. Even if something's great. If you've never done it
before, your nervous system will not accept you to just go through
it. Your nervous system is going to be like nervous, even the best
things. The best success when you succeed. When you're on the last
step right before you succeed at something you're nervous because
you've never done it before. Your nervous system will not accept for
you to just go do it. It's gonna be shaking. If you get into a
fight for the first time. Even if it's a little push
You match or a shouting match with a stranger on the street. It's not
that your your mind doesn't know what to do. You might know what to
do, but your nervous system is kicking in. And this Why do you
think any is any different when a person dies, when someone's you
and your imagine you see an angel, you first you've never seen it for
your whole life. So that's one scary thing. The idea of
traversing we talk about it every day, we recite Quran about it
every day, we're going to traverse into another boat, but the moment
it happens, we don't know how we're going to feel. So we could
talk a good game about it. But every single one of us will feel a
little bit of anxiety. And that's what the Socratic Motus. But for
the pious, it's short, it's small, like a doctor's visit, where he's
going to pull something out of your body. Right? You're You're
upset for about a very small period of time. And then all of a
sudden, it's relief. But for the first up, and this is why you have
to leave off attachments to sins.
Your soul is stuck to your body.
Think about it prophesy centum said it's like cotton that stuck
into its plant.
When you rip cut it out, this is not a it's not a nice plucking
motion, you're tearing and you're tear and then you're tearing away,
and you got to get every single piece of cotton. So the prophesy
Selim gave that analogy to realize that sins will result in a really
vicious attachment.
Where medical molds gotta take that soul out of your body. And so
because that he says, The dying never speak, because it's so
painful that they can't speak. And that's why they can't explain to
us what it's like. So we can see the righteous how they die. And we
can know that yes, we know by textbook that there's some
anxiety, but all we saw was good.
And then the unrighteous when they die. So Subhan Allah, I remember
one narration from some people in the community.
They a woman died. Allahu Allah on what the status of this woman was.
They said, they were doing the whistle. They couldn't even look
at her face to have to cover it. It was so
distorted and darkened, that they feared for her. Like they feared
that she's in punishment.
They it was there was like, shaken up for days afterwards. Because
usually we hear the stories of the righteous, right. But you also
have the negative, you can't have one side without the other.
And this one was really bad. They had to literally cover her face,
and they just washed it over a sheet. They washed her face over a
sheet for the whistle, because it was that bad. Right? And it wasn't
like it was blood. Because it was blood there would be blood like
everywhere, right? If blood had gone up the up in the face, or
birth would there would have been that effect everywhere else. But
it wasn't was just like in the face. It was really bad sight.
Another group of brothers out of England told a story about a man
who died. Every time they would dig a ditch for the man. They find
a snake.
Every time they dig the burial for the man. They find a snake.
And he was from the local community. They knew him. They
knew he was not great, but they didn't know it was this bad. They
weren't they dug another one snake, third one snake.
Until they just said we can't do this. Let's wait for the chef.
They waited for the shake. The shake went with them. And he said
we're just going to dig him very quickly put him put him in right
and bury him
And subhanAllah contrast that. There's a story about Madina
Munawwara where they were digging to expand the masjid in the 90s.
As they were they had the cranes pulling out the dirt. They hit
metal.
They looked they went out they dug they thought maybe they hit those
like some kind of a box or something. They dug dug dug, they
found the soldier in an ancient military uniform, with his skin
supple. And his his injury bleeding.
Ancient military uniforms, like chainmail and everything. This
stuff is real spotty, the materialist and the atheists. What
kind of life do they want us to live? Right? They have nothing.
You can live in Islamic community for a few weeks.
A few months, you're gonna see that we live in a vast world.
Extremely vast, with a great purpose and a great direction. We
don't we're not we're not clueless about where we're going. We know
where we're going. We know how to get there. And we've seen other
people go there. That's where we have to that's why the mental
health of a movement it should be. Now setting aside that it's very
possible for people just simply have chemical imbalances. We
believe in that 110% happen in the time of the Prophet sighs Okay,
and it happens in every era in every generation, but in general
We know where we're going.
What so once this all comes out what happens? It roams around, and
it flies in the sky. And there is some statements, that it goes
straight up to the Throne of Allah and it frustrates and then it
comes back down to this earth and it awaits to be buried. And that's
why we should hasten the burial prophesy sentiment said he's in
the burial, either is someone bad, and you rid yourself of him, or
it's somebody good. And so send him to his paradise, because your
grave is going to be a small piece of paradise. Otherwise, the soul
is just waiting and hovering around the body. Alright, until
they get buried, go and ask anybody if you ever seen someone
who had a burial, there's always someone who's employed in the
burial business. We have a couple of people here, they're in the
burial business, right? Their job is, is to bury people, okay,
that's how they earn their money.
You go to these people, and they have the funeral homes.
Everyone has Funeral Home, most of them not most of them. They all
know that there's something going on with these bodies.
Because one, my friend, Muslim friend, he works in the burial
home now they have to share burial homes. So the Muslim burial home,
like the temporary like just temporarily where the body is and
where he does his paperwork, etc. It's shared space, right? He said,
When he got there, he was freaking out the first time. There are a
windows opening breezes coming in, you know, voices, he's freaking
out. And the non believers who don't even believe in this stuff,
is that oh, this happens all the time. Right? The debt? They they
call it ghosts, right? Well, we know what it is, is that buried
pert, that soul is hovering over its body until it's buried. Some
of these people, they don't have the same fit. We have indeed, in
Islam, they keep the dead person there for like weeks, weeks, and
they do stuff to the body. Right to make it look presentable for a
week, a week or whatever it's called. So even they are
testifying, okay, so that nobody says, Oh, this is just all your
stories, no, even non believers will testify, that stuff is going
on, right until this person gets buried. As long as it not bodies
here. There's all sorts of weird stuff going on. And it's not weird
legend like dangerous. It's just like, you feel like someone's
passing you by you feel that there's some kind of you hear a
voice blah, blah, blah. So that that's because the soul is
hovering over the body.
And that soul hovering over the body?
Will is it to do them a favor, bury them quickly? We bury except
after method we don't bury after market. Firstly, you can't see
Secondly, and it's never worthy to put electricity in a graveyard.
Like for what? So they don't do that. But secondly, the prophets I
send them also didn't like us to bring torches back in the old
days, they had to bring a torch walk around at night with a torch.
And he said to the people don't bring this torches into the
graveyard for these people are fleeing the fire. They're trying
to get away from the fire. So don't even bring a torch for
seeing in a graveyard. So you never bring a torch and we never
bury aftermath. So you're going to be buried before the next nugget
of 24 hours five prayers shouldn't pass. And there's of course some
exceptions as someone who dies far away let's say someone dies on a
journey, then you're gonna bring the body back. Okay, so that's an
exception.
It is also said that where you die, that is the the earth from
which you are created. It's a saying, right? I don't know the
authenticity of it, but it is a saying that where you die, that
you are created from that Earth. So you die in Italy, you are
created from that Earth, okay?
You die in Egypt, you are created from that or you die in North
America, you were created from that Earth. I mean, not that it
makes much of a difference is an interesting fact. That's all it is
right? Nothing more, nothing less. And if it was not true, it doesn't
make a difference. But it's an interesting fact. So people took
honor of that, that so many Sahaba died in Kufa, for example, so many
Sahaba died in Syria, someone who had died in Egypt. So their take
on that, but it's just an interesting little fact, when you
bury a person, and you have to worry that could be concerned that
there's one matter that's still left that could harm them.
If they're, if it doesn't, if you don't do it in this life, which is
namely pay off their debts, and that if their inheritance is not
distributed properly, this will be a remaining sin for them. So debts
was why is there a debt? Why is it dead and issue debt because money
is always linked to hearts of people and men who show people
through. Money is always linked. Right? to people's hearts. They're
gonna It's the type of oppression that you owed me money.
So, so money related matters is still hanging in the balance, what
else is hanging in the balance, but it can be done afterwards,
which is things that the person had to had never done. And you
could do them on their behalf such as hogenom. Ira, right? Whether or
not the person didn't do it sinfully or otherwise, that can be
done for a Muslim after their death. But that is the main thing
that the person will never experience peace in their grave
until that's paid. And there is an amazing story that happened in
Saudi Arabia. Listen, how how specific this issue is, how
specific is this issue is of a man he had a number of kids and he had
a business and there was a local chicken cellar, outside of in the
town. And so they would always order chicken from this man. And
anyone who knows Saudi or in Saudi, you get chicken and rice
all the time. That's like a common a rotisserie chicken, and rice and
some salad.
Well, this guy was such an always ordering from this people that
he was always ordering from them that they would actually they
wouldn't come back for the silverware. They would actually
provide him silverware, actual silverware, right? Like metal
trays, etc, etc. So the man dies, he comes back to his kid in a
dream. And he says to one of his sons, he said, everything is fine,
except between me. And the my grave opening up
is the restaurant silverware. It's not our silverware, and yet it
stayed in our house for a long time afterwards. It's like when
someone dies, you're busy with the death, right? The last thing
you're going to be busy with is did he borrow this crock pot? Did
he borrow this pan? Did he borrow this? Like how many how many homes
have you or you have in your home? You have other people's pans in
your hands all the time? Right? I mean, I've had I had a bowl and
we've had a bowl in our house 10 years, we don't know who's
boldest, this right. And people pretty much people don't care. But
this man died and the silverware of the restaurant was still there.
They had never returned it because it's the last thing on your mind
is to return the little silverware from the shop down the road. And
yet it mattered in the ACULA and so this man he came to son of
dreams that go to this Drower there's the silverware that
belongs to that restaurant, right? It's on my it's on my account on
the day of judgment. It's still hanging over me go return it so he
returned it to That's how serious it is the issue of making sure you
don't owe people anything. And you can owe people something you Oh
Allah, you can Oh ALLAH hugs that you never did. It's a debt that
you owe things like this. So Furthermore, there's a hadith
about how the dua for drama for the deceased comes in the form of
lights, and is served on bowls for the people in their graves. And
when they ask where's this drama coming from? They say it's the dua
of so and so and it's Dr. SO and SO. Now if you've ever wondered,
well, why do i Why do we need to say May Allah have mercy upon
people were so righteous like so I didn't UB inevitable cloudy, like
these people are there with Allah subhanaw taala. And there are who
they are, we all know who they are. Why is it that we need to say
Rahim Allah upon them? Because answer is you never know that on
the in the resurrection.
You may see them on the resurrection. And you may have a
problem at that time, and they will owe you a debt, a debt of
gratitude,
heavy vomiting, so we say you never know who's going to
intercede for who on the Day of Judgment. You never know. So your
constant dua for someone of the past that you love, you're going
to meet that person on the Day of Resurrection. He you may be in a
not good state, he's in a very good state. You may be in a good
state, he's in a good state. But you don't you may have a relative
is in a bad state that you need to shift out of somebody come do
suffer from my brother. My CFO has not accepted your amendment bill
for two years if I may be accepted. Okay, of course the
profit is the main Sophia. When we say the intercession of the
Prophet that's the first intercession that shifts the
entirety of judgment, from justice to Mercy. Then within that, there
are Chavez within the OMA Muhammad sai sadhana Okay, distributed
lesser so that no one is greater intercession in the profit. Now
someone may be asking what is the point of intercession and Chacao
is that
a person may be have so many sins, that Allah subhanaw taala will not
even look at them and will not even let them talk to him. That's
how bad their sins are. But out of mercy, He will allow someone else
to talk to him. And that happens to in this world where someone is
in so much trouble. You can be so much trouble with your mom she
won't even
talk to you. But she will tell your brother right go talk to him
go bring him this plate of food. I'm not talking to him, but you go
give him so what is that that's the left that the last bit of
mercy she has for you that she'll send you somebody else to do that.
Right What you learn about the data and of course, there's no
true analogy with Allah subhanaw taala. But that's an analogy of
what intercession is that it is Allah's mercy, Shiva is Allah's
mercy, but you're not getting it directly from him. Because of the
things that we may have done, we won't get the Shiva directly from
Allah, we'll get it through an intermediary. Because if you get
forgiveness directly from Allah,
that's a wonderful thing. That's a gift, that means he's pleased with
you, etc. So this is the first thing that has this is the first
thing that happens when a person is being put down into the grave
is that you have to look at their financial status, because it's
something that will still hang over them. If they odes accounts
and fifth floors, it gets in man, you have to pay it out, also from
their inheritance, and if their inheritance will,
was something that was not a contract to the share, you don't
practice it. So not everything that the person leaves afterwards.
Okay, a man says in my will, he's Yuki, when you write a Will you
write your, the wealth that you have, then the children and the
family members that you have, then you write if you have any debts
remaining or and then you write a bequest of bequest to being you
get 1/3 of your wealth to a non inheritor. And then you could
write something else you can write your last testament to your kids,
your Last Testament,
like a like a message, you can write a message to all of the
people that you leave behind, it's usually some kind of an OC ha take
care of so and so so and so's week. This person in our family
you know, is that needs to be taken care of. It's it's like an
advice, a last statement that you're saying to your kids.
Nothing in that is binding, you have to realize that nothing in it
is binding. now a man can't be dying on his deathbed, for
example. All right, this is the situation and oh wife, do not ever
marry another man after me so that we can be married in Jannah. non
binding is just words, it's nice statement of emotions, but it's
not binding, none of that is binding. Okay, just to keep that
in mind. So once a person is buried know that his financial
matters should be taken care of right away. Prophesy centum said
none of you should if you have money, you have to have a will
none of prophesy seven said none of it, none of you should sleep
without his will. Okay?
Just in case you never know when someone's going to die. He then
says that after the Janaza, the Sahaba said it is recommended to
stay next to the grave. After the burial. For the amount of time
that it takes to milk a goat who said this Ahmed have been with us?
And other Sahaba have sayings about this stay a little bit, why
are you staying everyone's gonna leave?
When everyone leaves the melodica of questioning, they're going to
come down.
The angels who do the questioning, they're going to come down.
And that's not again, it's the first time you experienced it.
It's going to be scary for everyone. That's why there's Quran
of the bits of code a 32 bit head to dunya. All right, give us the
bet. All right, in this life, in the in the word in this life and
in the next which means that the questioning in the grave. Okay.
And even it says that the prophets I sent him said the sad Ibn Wyeth
his shook. He was nervous when he was first placed in the grave.
It's an experience very similar to the soul coming out. It's your
first time it's there's going to be some nervousness. Likewise,
when the grave collapses upon you, it's going to be some nervousness.
result to that province I settled on this hobby used to stay a
little bit linger, a couple people should linger. And they should
recite some Quran, and they should make dua for the person. Okay,
because then they're going to leave. And then the questioning in
the grave happens. Questioning the grave. There's no lying, but you
do have your intellect with you. Okay, you do have your mind with
you. And say Norman says Amanda Hakuna are well, we have our same
minds that we have now said yes, that mind that you have now that
which you're thinking you're conscious of yourself, of who you
are, of what your name is of the world around you. That
consciousness never goes anywhere.
exists in a different form. Sounds like you just disappear. So you're
just out of your body. And in the grave. Now magnetic you're gonna
ask the question, but you can't lie. There's no like, there's not
something just I know the answer. And that's it. So you're going to
speak the truth and whenever FIP is going to say.
Angels will ask you what who is your Prophet, the Mona 15? The
hypocrites. There's those who just followed. They didn't really think
twice about their Deen. They said, the people used to say, Allah is
the Creator. Right? Who's your prophet? He's
The people use this I don't know. But the people used to say
Mohammed, the angels got extremely angry with him. He said you didn't
have an intellect and you never examined the serious question.
This is a serious question. If someone told you there was a fire
in the building,
and the you got burned, you have no one to blame but yourself. Same
thing the prophets I send them is telling us there's a fire in the
afterlife. If you get burned, and you have no one to blame, but
yourself, you should have investigated, you can't get burned
and say and then sue the person. Well, you didn't sell me where
know, in any court of law, if you tell somebody there's a fire in
the building.
Right? That's enough. They've done their job towards you. I don't
have to tell you, it's on the third floor. It's in a kitchen
fire. I don't have to tell you this. enough that I tell you
there's a fire in the building. So likewise, someone tells you
there's a fire coming in the afterlife that could last forever.
Now you go investigate. Some people they want the Dow it's got
to be comes with perfection. And it's every nth question has to be
answered. What else do you want it to come with a comma Zeus as well.
That's not how it works. It's enough that someone is telling
you, your Creator, who made this world
you're gonna meet him in the afterlife. And the prophet who
came with this message is Muhammad and the book, he came with his the
Quran, there's a heaven and a *. It's up to you to
investigate after that.
So they get angry, that you're just someone who just followed
without any thinking at all. And we're saying followed without
damad without sincere practice.
And when it comes to tough lead, which is just imitating the
people, you can do that for everything in Islam, except for
one thing, which is the actual belief in Allah and His messenger,
you have to know that for sure from yourself. That's got to be
something that you take on belief in Allah, His Messenger, as for
that, how to pray how to fast or you could just get a manual and
follow that manual, or go around look and see, okay, this is what
everyone's doing looks good to me, the righteous people, and we
follow them. Okay, simple as that you can make tech lead in those
matters, but not in the essence of the lead.
So we're going to stop here for today. This was we've taken it now
to the grave after the question is answered correctly,
then that grave opens up for to become a garden of paradise. And
the people in the grave, they live their own life lives, they move
around to the ability of the strength of their spirit, to the
point that they could move around, and you're now living with people
of the past. You're in the same place as them no. All right,
you're living now and able to move around, but those whose souls were
weaker, they stay in their area. But nonetheless, it is a paradise.
And they experienced pleasure in that nayeem. Cover, it's called
and then there is another bill cover, which is the chairman of
the grave, namely that as a result, he says you're the anger
if a Muslim died with anger, that becomes a heat in his grave. If he
died with backbiting that becomes like a snake, if he was conniving,
becomes a snake in his grave. So his sins take on forms in the
grave. And he feels that and he says that you will dig up the
grave you won't see these snakes, but they're all of the unseen
everything is of the unseen.
Alright, let's stop here and take today we're going to limit the
questions to solely to this topic. We're going to limit all the
questions solely to the
afterlife and the graveyard. Sorry, afterlife and life in the
grave and death and the last moments of death anything related
to to this type of subjects. Alright, let's start it off with
Ryan, what do you got?
Someone else can agree be a stage of purification? Ask Could you
come fix this thing? Because it's so purification starts in this
life.
The stages of purification I mean, you can zoom it in and fix it's a
little bit crooked. Either way. Either way. Yeah. And then zoom it
in a bit. Yeah, there we go. So now it's even the matters of the
grave. A purification it all starts in this life. Purification
doesn't just start in the afterlife. In this life
purification begins. In this life.
sicknesses are a purification.
A bad is purification. When you're struggling and you're doing your
worship, you're purifying yourself. The best purification is
to purify yourself on your own rug, which means by your own
deeds, by your own worship, okay by your own.
Charity sadaqa is a great purification and sadaqa in cm, all
these things
in avoiding temptation, great purification. If that doesn't
happen, then old age becomes a purification. All the diseases as
one met one old man he gave a poem about old age that
At the scholars love, they said he just summarized the whole thing.
He says, When you're healthy, you're sick, like old age, like
when you're healthy, you're sick, like old age itself is a sickness.
He said, when there are people around, when you have company, you
fall asleep in front of everybody. When you try to sleep, you can't
sleep. You're like Insomniac, right?
You still have pleasure, you still have desire, you still see a
beautiful woman, and you have desire, but nobody desires you. So
it's just misery. So old age can be a severe misery for somebody
that's purification.
Your death itself. As your soul is coming out of you, it can be
really hard. That's purification, and then in the grave.
Purification. So yes, the answer is all these are purification.
Next question, what are some signs of holy versus unholy, that's a
good death and a bad death? Well, first of all, the state in which
someone is in, if someone's in a state of a state, comma, they're
constantly in submission to Allah, they're in a bad they're doing
well.
That's a good death. It's a good state to die upon. It's that
simple.
That's how simple it is, of course, martyrdom. The question
was, what is the sign of a good death. martyrdom, of course, we
know is of three different categories.
The one who dies in the battlefield, the one who dies
after having served the dean for his entire life. Thirdly is the
categories of those who died very difficult deaths, such as a
building fell on him, which includes a car crash, internal
organ diseases, such as cancers, and that's what they come up to
and like your, your digestive system killed you. In other words,
like it burst, but they also added cancers and all these very
difficult harsh deaths, drowning, being burned in a fire.
Dying, protecting your wealth and your property. So that's not even
for us to be to die. You're just a regular guy walking down the road,
a Muslim that we were talking about Muslims and Muslims walking
down the road and someone tries to take your wallet and kills you.
Right? That's your head. Okay. The only difference is that the first
martyr, first category, the ones who die on the battlefields, they
are not buried.
Sorry. They're not shrouded, washed, shrouded or preyed upon,
we treat them as if they're alive. We just bury them as is.
If let's let's continue with only subject only questions on death.
Let's hear it. Go ahead. So are the Shuhada in the bar, Zach, or
do they go straight to the gym? Everyone's in the bars are the
shahada, and the bar is like everyone's it's all about us. But
as x just means a middle of boat, that's literally the word but is
it just means the middle of boat? Everyone is in the only question
simply being that
there exists existence is superior to everyone else's existence as a
martyr, hey, why don't you click that light on?
It's at the bottom there. See?
What happens in between the day that we die and the Day of
Judgment, what happens during the day we die and their judgment
along existence, which we know very little about. And we can hear
stories about them. Usually those these stories come through dreams
that people had, etc. actually turned it off.
That
but we've, as you haven't had dead says it's very hard to fathom the
existence as a soul without a body. We can't really fathom what
it's like. But all we do know is that we experienced pleasure or
pain and that's really that's the only thing that's important,
right? But we do, our intellects are with us, you are who you are
even in those phases, you've got your mind with you.
And you're going to either experience pleasure or pain.
Next, is it possible for someone to die upon Eman? Even if they
haven't recited they come in? As verbally it was possible someone
die upon him and even if they hadn't recited the Kadima for
verbally, verbally, they haven't verbalized the Kadima. The answer
to that is that
if they refused to say that, Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, then they
would not be considered that then they don't have you met. But if
they simply couldn't, they didn't know that they had to say the
shahada then that they would have be upon event or if there was
this, nobody would have witnessed it, then yes, we would not
consider the Muslims in our law, how we bury them, et cetera. But
Allah subhana wa Tada will consider the meaning if he had to
keep it secret in order to save someone else's life. It's possible
then, or save his own life. Then, in the sight of Allah he can be
considered a moment but for us, we still consider him legally not a
believer.
Can you explain the state of the prophets are they in Silla in, in
the grave the states of the prophets in the grave physical to
is a physical body or so? Allahu Adam about the states of the
prophets in the grave is a very vast thing and it's greater than
their states in this life you know, that's all we can say about
it it's it's extremely vast and is greater than their state in this
life without a doubt for the simple reason the Quran itself
says
what an extra two Clara Nakamura the what is to come for you is
always better than what is what is past.
State one from Instagram here can you dig up a body and take it to a
different country is my crew unless only there's if there's a
reason? If there's a threat that people will desecrate that grave,
then yes, but if there's no such threat, then you shouldn't do
that. There should be no reason to do that. There has to be a reason
someone passes away and he has a mortgage and then it's taken off.
Does that count as an unpaid debt? No, it's transmitted because the
the debt you're not like ripping off the people your next
generation will keep paying it. If I understand correctly, as best I
can you dig about who is this? How can a person you pray for your
grandparents, you can pray for anyone who died upon Islam
with any words of dua, may Allah make their grave vast May Allah
make their abode and the afterlife better than their boat in this
life and give them company in the next life better than the company
of this life. Any type of DUA and any type of charity that you can
give and it goes to their behalf you intend the reward for them? Is
American mode only takes the the souls or does he have a troop of
angels helping him Allah knows best but it it seems that he does
it himself.
Can you take
Okay, next question.
Will non Muslim teenager someone who did reach puberty but they
died without being exposed to Islam
be held accountable for anyone who died without being exposed to the
message is considered a person to paradise in the update of Allah so
Nora Gemma
without a doubt based upon one that couldn't name while the Bina
had done a bathala Surah go ask around that is the opinion of
Alison on those who die without having received the message. Alia
says can you someone back by two but they may Toba?
Will it come back against them? No utter Ableman of them be Camilla
them Bella. The one who penitent repents from a sin is if he has no
sense. He's treated as if he has no sense if he repented from it.
How do we work towards hosting Kadima when we are so distracted
and also unknowingly participating in since
you get hosting? Can you work on hosting a customer by worrying
about your now tomorrow may be the end every treating every day as if
it's the end?
Next question, right?
Why can you know mourn for over three days after someone passes?
Why can you not mourn for over three days after somebody passes?
There's no such necessarily rule like this that you cannot be said
for over three days. But
it is usually as a from from my understanding as a custom. And
that it may have come in some a hadith and some FIP that you don't
do I set for somebody after the third day. And Allah knows best.
But I never saw that this is a hard and fast rule that you cannot
conceive can can give your condolences to somebody after
three days who lost a loved one, or that you can't be sad for after
three days. I never saw that. That's a hard and fast rule
anywhere. That doesn't mean I'm right about that. But we could
look it up. I've never seen that. Next are those who enter Jannah
allowed to bring anyone they want including non Muslims. In when you
enter God, can you bring anyone you want, including non believers,
you can bring in who you want, whom Allah Allah allows for you to
bring it. This is an eighth of course, Mandela the as Pharaoh in
the WHO elaborated. You don't give Shiva to anyone except Allah
permits you. So he may say you have 10 people from your family,
meaning from the Muslims, everything. You have Andhra people
from the people of your town, meaning from the meaning of your
town.
Question What happens if a soul is never buried? Does their soul
still linger? I've heard some people say that the answer is yes.
And Allah knows best about that. If a person dies in a desert, for
example, and he's never buried, allow them what happens to them?
Okay, next question.
Someone says one of his cousins was murdered recently, he came
into the dream of another cousin and asked, asked him to write his
name among the dead people. Basically, he maintained a list of
the deaths in his family. What is is that a person was killed, and
then he asked his a person was killed. And then he came to a
rally relative in a dream and said, put me in the list of those
who had died. So maybe he hadn't listed him
as those who had died right along and
Maybe it's also an issue that he didn't die Shaheed he may have
been killed, but maybe it doesn't count as Shahid, Allah Adam.
Hello, Adam, what that means? No, is there a benefit of dying and
Madina? Munawwara. Of course there is, of course, they pray Janessa
upon you there and
no doubt about that.
All right, why do non Muslims sometimes see angels or light or
the afterlife when they experience a temporary death?
I don't have an answer to that, why they do, because maybe if
there is something called a temporary death, but maybe it's
more like, there is a Hadith of the prophets, I set him said that
people will die and come back. In other words, a soul will come out
a little bit and come back. And we said that every time someone dies,
that they will, their soul will go straight up to the artist of Allah
and prostrate, and then come back down. So maybe that's what they're
experiencing? A lot of them. But nonetheless, those types of
experiences will not justify a theology will not be the basis of
the theology being true or false.
That's the important part. As for the explanation of does that
happen? Does it not happen? Etcetera? Why does it happen? is
irrelevant. The most relevant thing to us that touches our
practical lives is Do we believe that that is a
testament to the truth of everything they say? The answer is
no. Just you have a good, a wonderful experience. That would
not be a testament that your theology book, or whatever you
follow, is the truth. The theology and truth about belief is going to
be deduced by transmission and reason. Next question from Reza
Ramzan. What if parents do not want to distribute the inheritance
according to the CBI? What if parents don't want to distribute
their inheritance according to the Cydia, you have a will and you get
a lawyer and he becomes the executor of your will as you want
it, it's your money to your parents reach into your pocket now
while you're alive, then how do they then you have to you stop
them? Right? You would stop them. So likewise, after death, it's
your money. But if he's talking about their own money, let's say
sorry about their own money, maybe I misunderstood his question if
you saw about their their money that they are going to distribute
the earth according to their own way they inherited their own way.
So we would say it's upon you one time at the very minimum to tell
everybody that is haram, you have to distribute it. Gordon to the
city. So if my if I calculate my value was I should have received
$10,000. But I received $100,000. All right, I have to distribute
that 90,000 where it belongs to the other inheritors, I have to
give it to them. Okay.
If I was my right was $50,000. But I got $20,000 Then of course,
there's nothing I can do about it. You just say once in general,
everybody, you must distribute it according to the Sharia. And
here's the portions this stuff is not rocket science inheritance.
You only some of the questions get thorny, but after that, that 95%
of all inheritance cases are from memory you can give the answer to
get and you say here it is. This is how it should be distributed.
And
and that's it. It's up to you after that.
Next question, if Muslims non Muslim parent dies, and they
mentioned that they want to be cremated several times what should
the Muslim do if a non that's why I said if a non Muslim says he's
not a parent says I want to die. I want you to cremate me. What do I
do? Well, very quite simply. That's why we said earlier the
last will and testament that a person leaves is non binding, the
will of course, it's non binding insofar as it's outside the
Sharia. Okay? It for example, man says, When you die, I don't want
you to move to Texas, right? If I die, I want you to stay and live
in this house. Okay, none of that's binding. You can't tell
somebody what to do. Firstly, if they're an adult in this life, let
alone when you're dead. You can't tell them what to do. So they're
not binding. And it is how it would be haram for let's say a
Hindu convert to cremate his mom or his dad, what you do is you
just bury them regularly. You wouldn't give you whether you rap
whether you want you would not wash them and wrap them in the way
that they resemble a Muslim. You would not do that. You would just
bury them. Okay, in the graveyard of the non Muslims, that's it.
There will be no they will not have the rights that resembles a
moment. You can wrap them up fine. Okay, but it should be something
distinct. Won't be the one full wash and await wrapping as if this
person is the most no because there has to be some difference.
So you can wrap them
Are you put them in a box? And then in the state of New Jersey,
you have to have the box? Unfortunately, the casket and you
put the casket do not unfortunately just it's not the
thing that in the past, we never did this. He just buried the
person as is. But today you bury them in a box in a casket.
Next, yes.
Can you make the drought?
If you parent dies or non Muslim, can you make the drought in the
Quran? Robert Philly, well, who led Waldman? duckula At a moment,
the answer is you can recite the verse of Quran and of course, but
you cannot make dua for an unbeliever. We don't make dua for
an unbeliever, many people get upset by this. Why? He didn't want
it.
Islam was right in front of me, he didn't take it. So don't force it
upon him after his death. He doesn't want your agenda. He
doesn't believe in it. So why do you ask for Allah to give it to
him? So in the same way that we all love the concept Oh, that we
don't force our religion on anyone. Okay, after death, it's
the same thing. So he didn't want it. And then Allah Tada, maybe out
of His mercy,
that door sometimes can be answered.
dots in general, we know drawers are answered. So he will tell you
which door not to say because he doesn't want to answer that.
Simple as that. Is cancer a type of martyrdom that the ultimate say
yes, it is considered a death of shahada because remember, no we in
his shorthand, this hadith he says it's the shudder and the the the
gruesomeness of the death. So anyone who dies of a severe type
of harsh sickness, it counts as shed next what is the difference
between the summer ruts and Jana the summer wet and Jana? What's
the difference between them? Is that the summer What are abodes
above us? That are not the paradise of reward paradise or
reward its gates are shut until it's opened in the afterlife after
the judgement
who
the summer what are they going to be turned to just know I never saw
that that's there's no such pneus that says that the heavens will be
turned to dust
Oh
yes, multiple yeah to be I mean, not to yet. So fold it up. Fold it

want. We believe there's a dark spirituality. It's not all
spirituality is good. There is dark spirituality. There's a boat
of darkness. And there's an abode of light in the unseen. You can
tap into the Buddha darkness and amazing things will happen to you.

all my pleasures of head to dunya, then that's bad.

Right? How do you pray yourself? wept After hiding the fessor
Janessa. Oh, this is the cost of Aslan may it is Ruslan made,
right, it's a full wash of the body, you cover the outer, you do
have to do you do have to press the intestines and release any
thing that's in the stomach. Good. And you have to wash the body, of
course. And then we know how to cover our body with clothes,
right? So likewise, wrap up the body with clothes.
Wrap up the body with sheets. And by the way, any wrapping is
sufficient but the profit love the weight.
If you just a person in clothes, pants and shirt. All right, that's
wrapping last. But that's not the custom. It's not the norm. That's
for those who don't have anything. We have white sheets, not
different. So So this stuff is not that difficult. We should all
learn this stuff. Next question.
If our parents do not distribute, we'd also have their parents and
our eating head on.
It repeat. If our parents did not distribute, we'd also have their
parents than are we eating her? If their parents if your parent
inherited improperly, right? If your parent inherited and probably
they are eating haram, but you're not. Why? Because the Sharia only
takes into account one link of the transmission of wealth. So if I
give you a gift,
that's a gift, it's halal to accept a gift. If your mom puts
food on the table. That's food on the table right? For you. It's a
reception of a gift. Right?
But for her, It's haram because she took well that didn't belong
to her. That's the most generous way of looking at it because it
should he does not take into consideration the two links takes
in consideration one link one link in the transmission of wealth.
Next question, says salam aleikum. Can you explain about the Hadith
about finishing the Quran and 40 nights
I've ever seen in the Sharia or the Sunnah any concept of the 40
Have you only on the idea that there's finished the Quran at 40
nights for the deceased and then have another gathering for the 40
So I'd never seen that there's anything specific about the 46
Have you
gone for 40 4040? Salah in a row? 40 days in a row? Yes, yes, there
is a Hadith that's for the living. Right? That it's it for the living
that it's
too to be to attain to be there for the tech community to haraam,
the opening tech bit of the prayer for 40 days in a row, not missing
one that's 200. To be it, it's a haram in a row. Then there is a
reward that it's a massive reward. I can't remember what the reward
is, but it's a massive reward.
Your presentation will appear to you as a pale man
as a Quranic recitations, your Salah, your CM, your sadaqa in the
buzzer will appear to you as company keep you company. And
it'll be something that keeps you from being lonely in the grave.
Someone, jet next question, this is about visiting the doctor.
Thank you very much. I'm the loved one. Well,
I'm gonna have a couple more doctor's visits have to do with
family, right which I have to take parents to doctors. So just in
case, we don't have streams, these take these streams very seriously.
But there are certain things that are I guess you could say more
serious. So just excuse me for that. In the month of March, I
probably would have missed one or two streams.
And that's what happens at a certain age when you're you have
to start tending to your parents. Does the kennemer before death
removed the punishment of the gravy removes a lot of sins and
anyone who is wafak who has the Tofik to be saying La ilaha
illallah and reciting the Quran and saying good words before death
that is a very good sign of the forgiveness of their sins. Nudge
Zeff says What if someone has dementia wouldn't have prayed a
lot towards the end of their life. So once someone enters dementia
has their their book is closed the book of deeds is closed okay. You
just helped them with a job afterwards
and and it is a purification for sure to literally like lose
yourself because dementia lost your your bodies here but you're
you're not
okay, if someone wasn't practicing prior death necessitate punishment
if someone died upon guff law, they need your dog a lot because
that's not a good death. Why is what is called Tolkein after
bringing something no terpene is to have people c'est la ilaha
illallah and it is before their death. It's not after their death.
The word Tolkein is like literally say this and they say that. And
you should not do this actually. Because
if they if they're like too tired to say the Kadima, you may think
that they're like, cursed or something. So you shouldn't force
them to say it. But you yourself should say that yeah, hidden
Allah.
Can we pray behind deviance for janazah?
No,
we don't believe that they're a bad is accepted?
Yeah.
What's the schedule for our live streams Monday through Thursday?
1:30pm.
And we usually go to 233 o'clock.
Right? Your question, and they're all posted on YouTube afterwards,
you have to go to live or you go to the nothing but facts playlist.
Right, in Europe.
This question, I guess it's kind of an impossibility, both.
Theoretically, if someone were to take their shahada and die without
telling anyone that they're Muslim, would they be considered
us if someone
took the shahada and died without any of us knowing? So this is
obviously theoretical, because we would never know they are Muslims
with Allah and Medina with Allah. But we as a community, since we
don't know that they took shahada, we would not treat them legally as
a Muslim. So there is a difference between the way we treat people
illegally legally because we have limited knowledge and what Allah
knows. Okay, next question. Can you pray for a non practicing
Muslim after the death like fully non practicing fully non
practicing Muslim after his death? Yeah, I believe that we should
make dua for them if ALLAH inspires you to because they need
it more than anybody else. Almost 26 says, What does it mean that
Allah says He changes your bat your your your sins into good
deeds? It means that
the sign of that is that you use what you learned in the time of
sins, to help other people who are in those sins. That's one of the
signs of those things. Okay. That's a sign that Allah is
transforming your good deeds insistence. Sorry, the opposite
your sins into good deeds.
Okay, next question.
What is the position of the estuary school on time spent?
inhale for the inhabitants is eternal or temporary, time spent
in * for the Mothman. The believer and Allah is temporary,
because sins are temporary beliefs are permanent. When you commit a
sin, you're only committed at that moment but when you take on a
belief you're intending for that belief to be permanent.
I am Hamad says I don't have words and hamdulillah I'm from Germany,
masha Allah.
It's after extra time in Germany. So make dua for us in Germany.
It's already What's today's day? It's Tuesday. So it's gonna be
Wednesday tomorrow. Next question. We have a brother in in Mecca. He
said he's making dua for us, that's good. We need a lot of dua,
and don't drive is more important than anything else. We need do as
much as possible at this time. And don't ever underestimate the power
of dua Pasha international sounds like a really cool Brent. All
right, he says My understanding is that only only person who will not
be worried on the Day of Judgment is the prophets. I said, Is it
true and can a person be so good in this life that I removed the
alarm of this panic it is possible and true that the panic of a
person is so minimized, okay. That is forgotten very quickly, such as
a number because it is possible, but the one who will have
absolutely no panic is to the province I sent him and said, The
Musa said no Musa, he has already fainted in this life. Remember in
this in this, in which we asked Allah to see Allah and then when
if when the mountain when he when he manifested the mountain, then
he passed away, he passed out and that fainting has replaced his
fear of the in the afterlife. So he is resurrected with no fear.
Also, also say now use of Imodium was salam ala yomo Woollett where
Yo Ma Motoyama overthrow here, peace be upon me. Okay, the day
I'm born, the day I die in the dam resurrected which means all the
three transitions and say now here, same thing is said about
him. So yes, there are many. There are many. Okay, the difference
is that sets a nice to set it about himself. Allah said it about
Satan that Yeah.
Next question. Someone said in Afghanistan, the shahada, they're
men, they're buried with the clothes on without being watched?
That's correct. And then the only the those who die in battle? Yeah,
only the only martyrs that are not washed shrouded are preyed upon or
those who die in battle.
What's your opinion on chef said Muhammad Allah, we had Maliki
very, very good opinion. And we read all his books and study his
books. And I spent a summer studying with him. What
hamdulillah it was a great summer. And he's an amazing, he was an
amazing scholar and amazing men, and the best company you could
ever be with. So you go with some shoe and you hear how big he's
such a big shake. And you go and you expect see everybody sitting
like this. Right? That's what you expect, not to say it's, they just
call him say it right? Not his gatherings. His gatherings were
allowed. boisterous. There was it was just not his Hadith gathering.
His Hadith class was his Hadith class, but his his casual sit down
between Maghrib and Aisha.
I just like to he liked to laugh. He liked to have fun. He was
outgoing. He was boisterous. Even the cab driver, right? The cab
driver says, Why are you going to this man's house? He's a mocha.
He's a man of bitter, right? But we still love him. Right? I said,
Well, why? Why? He said, I saw him one time in the store in a regular
shop. And I said, I'm going to say the word of truth.
And he said, Why do you speak of the Molad submitter?
He said, I expected a big fight. And instead I ended up leaving the
store laughing. Right. And I still didn't change my opinion, he said,
but he ends up he found a way he just he has such
a great spirit about him that even his enemies in Saudi like the
local common folks who didn't like him. They didn't have bad things
to say about him, except that they just thought he was an innovator,
which I guess is pretty bad. But nonetheless, he was the lion of
the Russia IRA and availa sunnah. And his father was the chef of the
School of he was father was the chef of the college in Mecca.
Right? Halloween had been a best and Maliki his he was director.
The son teaches nothing different than the Father. So what happened?
The regime change that's all and he has books translated, my Faheem
Yeji Ventosa matters that needs to be corrected. Okay, ideas that
need to be corrected. It's it's,
it's published and translated
Next question. Does solar rot upon the Prophet SAW Rouhani was going
to help us in the grave Salah on the province. I said them, of
course it helps you in the grave? No, no doubt about it. And
this question is, are you California time? No, we're in New
Jersey. So we're East Coast time. So we are three hours ahead of
California.
And I think six hours after England,
a person died according to one access when UK says he has many
other prayers or fasts? Can we give Fidelia of his prayers and
fasts? The answer is yes. For the fasts and seek his forgiveness for
the prayers. There's no video for fasting, but you can give general
sadaqa I guess, but you would give fibia for his fasts? And I don't
know in the Hanafi. School, did they teach anything about that?
Can you make up someone's flooded for them? Cannot? Right? You can
you can give the video for the fast but
next question.
I'm gonna combine two questions now. So the first one is like
what's Is there any significance if someone's grave marker was
removed? And then the other one will lead asked? What's the
opinion on razed graves? So how much does a physical grave have
impact on the person? Okay, the opinion about if someone's grave,
a marker was removed, we would say about that. We don't believe in
bad omens, and Islam. We don't accept any bad omens. Right, let's
say a couple's gonna get married. Right? And, you know, right when
they're saying the marriage statement, a bird, you know,
releases droppings on them, right?
We don't go by that we go by what's happening in the real
world, and what the video says, If your mother is not happy with you,
maybe that's a reflection of something else. If you stole this
bride from somebody else, maybe that's a reflection of that. But
we don't go by bad omens and get nervous and get scared. We don't
go by bad omens.
As for the question of raise graves,
no, it's not good to raise the grave, in the majority opinion.
But some Allah might have said that number one if it's to mark
the grave. And number two, if it is for scholars to honor the
scholars in the chef, a method they allow that to to honor the
scholars and that's what they told me in, in Yemen. And
and they observed that in Egypt to and I think all the countries and
the
issue of writing Quran
on graves, if it's flat or low, it's mcru because then birds can
drop on a frogs can jump on it. It's not respectable for the Quran
to ever be low. So that's why in the past you you don't necessarily
do that. Put Quran in a low spot, even the Corolla the name of Allah
should never be low. Can you sense Allah and salam and ask that to be
granted? As a gift for the prophets? I said, Um, yes, of
course it is. Not it No, is not is it should No, it's not shipped.
It's permissible, of course. It's permissible to do that. Next
question. What is the ruling on doing good deeds for example,
sadaqa jariya on behalf of the deceased
the giving sadaqa jariya for the deceased
they have to be Muslim, and it's a very good deed
Let's take one more
All right, when done this, what is the best dua or suitors to recite
when visiting the graves? What is the best DUA and sorted through
site when visiting the graves we're going to say that
there is no specific SUTA to recite
a crow yes in autumn otaku was a weak Hadith recite you're seeing
upon your dead but if you can, you can if you consider that he's dead
or dying, right some of them said it means those who are dying
recite to them suited yet seen others that if they are dead,
Okay.
Recite yes and upon them. And so customarily, we do see a lot of
people who are setting se, for that reason based upon that
hadith, but there's no specific suitor that you have to or there's
superior to recite, and dua for Adama in the grave dot for mercy
in the grave, any positive thing for the in the grave.
The role of students and molecules that went if we recited at
nighttime, it comes to us in the grave, at the reward of it comes
to us in the grave and helps us in the grave. In other words, against
the construction of the grave.
Thank you all very much second location. May Allah subhanaw taala
