Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim verse number 144 One man more Hamadan. Illa Rasul Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not but a messenger or the hundreds Min cobbly Here Vasile, other messengers have passed on before him. So Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is only a Rasul, meaning the religion does not belong to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam the religion belongs to Allah, and it is from Allah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was only a messenger someone who came to convey the deen and before Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there were many other messengers. There was Musa alayhis salaam rissalah His Salam, Yusuf Ali salaam, so they minorly sin Hamza

00:00:51--> 00:01:43

criada, his Salam, many messengers, about whom we know and also those messengers about whom we do not even know. So Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was one of the messengers, just like the messengers before him, and Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not an ILA, and he's not God, not at all. So all of our hopes should be in who in Allah, the One who removes hardship, the one who is worshipped, and from whom is all help. We learn about God to Venmar Allah, that when different people left Islam, after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Judaism and more Allah went to his people, fearing that they too would apostate upon hearing of the news of the death

00:01:43--> 00:02:29

of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. So he went to them, and he gathered them and he asked them that do you know of any messengers that God sent to the people before Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? And they said, Yes. So he asked them, Did you see those messengers? Or do you know of them? They said, We know of them. We of course, did not see them. So he asked, Where are they? No, they said, that all of the messengers have died. So he said, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has also died. Any just as the messengers before died, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also died. You believe in the previous messengers, even though you never met them, then Muhammad sallallahu

00:02:29--> 00:03:13

alayhi wasallam you believe in Him and you will continue to believe in him even though now he has died. So they really appreciated this and decide May Allah grant you firmness as you made us firm, third vertical Allahu kumbhar a BATNA. So, human beings die. Right? This is something natural. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran that in Nicoma YUTAN were in the home may you tune Indeed you are going to die and they too will die. Allah subhanaw taala also asks a emitter of a human Holly dune if you were to die, meaning your Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if you were to die, then the rest of the people, especially your enemies, who want you to die, will they remain forever in the

00:03:13--> 00:03:55

world? No, they too will die. So the people of duty even more unless they understood that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a messenger, just like the rest of his brother messengers. He completed his mission, just like they did. He fulfilled his responsibility just like they did. And he also died just as they did. So women will Hamadan Allah soul, called the holla Halutz, Minh cuddlier Rasul adhaalath, Colette is from Harlem while we have done this word earlier, color basically means to be empty, then it's also used for the going away of someone because when they go away and the place becomes empty, so called HULTMAN cobbly, here Rowsell before Muhammad sallallahu

00:03:55--> 00:04:42

alayhi wa sallam, and Russell messengers, many many messengers have passed on before him. They came, they fulfilled their responsibility, and they died when death was decreed for them. Now with regard to the context of this is why it was revealed. These verses are about the Battle of Ohio. Right? Now, we learned that when Holly they've been bullied, and he was fighting from the side of the machete cane at this point, he was not a Muslim at this point. He gathered about 100 150 of his men, and went over the small hill where the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam had appointed the archers, because when the enemy began to flee, the archers left their posts, so that hill was now open in it

00:04:42--> 00:04:59

was accessible. So how did even Walid just gathered 100 150 of his men and quickly he came over that small hill, and he cut through the middle of the Muslims basically, and as he cut through the middle of the Muslims, he tracked each side and

00:05:00--> 00:05:40

This basically caused complete chaos in the files of the Muslims. And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam saw what was happening, he actually called the Companions called them out loud in order to prepare them in order to warn them. And by calling them out loud, he essentially put his own life at risk. And some men from the enemy actually charged at him and the prophets of Allah who were to send him was wounded at this point. And it was also rumored that he had been killed. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had not actually been killed, he had taken shelter in a crevasse in the mountain. But at this point, we learned that Muslim women are made of the la hora and who had

00:05:41--> 00:06:19

also been killed by the machete keen, and he was actually wearing a shawl that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had given him. So the people thought that the prophets of Allah who knew Saddam had been killed, and shaitan shouted at this point that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam had been killed. In some narrations, we learned about even Camira that he also said that I have killed Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, in fact, he went back towards the idolaters. And he said that I have killed him. So when the wishy Keane learned that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam had been killed, they were like, Okay, we have accomplished our goal, and they began to leave. So they

00:06:19--> 00:07:08

started gathering up, you know, their supplies, collecting any war booty, and then they began to leave. Now, when the Muslims heard that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam had been killed, of course, you can imagine what they felt. They felt extremely distraught, they felt very weak, and many of them basically gave up fighting, and they just froze. And this is what grief does to some people that it literally freezes them. They're in such shock that they cannot move they cannot think they don't know what to do. So many companions felt like that. So Allah subhanaw taala revealed this verse, that woman Mohammed on Illa Rasul. Allah twin complete grosser than Muhammad sallallahu

00:07:08--> 00:08:01

alayhi wa sallam is only a messenger and many messengers have passed on before him, and he he was supposed to die anyway. So after imata will then in he will further then in if any if then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam dies Mata for me Malta mouth is death. I'll put Isla patina from Qatar, of dalla Padilla to be killed. If the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam dies or he is killed, then in CalOptima, Allah or calbiochem, will you turn back upon your heels? And he will you just stop and quit and leave Islam? So here, those people who became weak or being chastised that Why did you stop fighting? Why did you give up? Why did you just surrender? Why did you not carry on

00:08:01--> 00:08:47

fighting? Because the prophethood of a prophet does not end with his death. It continues. So people are supposed to believe in that messenger and follow him even after he has departed the world. So if I imagine Aquila, in character, Marla or Kobe, come, will you turn back upon your heels? Will you return to your former ways? Will you just stop and give up and quit as if Islam is over? No, we learned that a man from the hygiene he actually passed by an in Saudi men who was bleeding in during a hurt so the Saudi man had been wounded, he was bleeding and the Mohajer you know passed by Him. And He said to him that Oh companion, any old friend did you know that Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihe

00:08:47--> 00:09:30

Salam has been killed. And the Saudi man replied that even if Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was killed, he has indeed conveyed the message therefore defend your religion meeting keep fighting the enemy Don't stop now. So after a matter Aquila in CalOptima, Allah or Kobe come in claptone is from cough Lamba in collabos to turn back and are that are Kobe Kumar Allah upon our club is a portion of our club Our club is the back end of the foot the heel so turning back upon your heels means what that you're turning around, alright. So this is an expression which means that will you go back will you revert to your former ways? Any you will go back to being like you were before Islam, will you

00:09:30--> 00:09:59

forget about Islam just because the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has died. Allah says Romanian Kali Birla RPV and he who turns back on his heels, then FileIO doula Allah has che. Such a person will never harm Allah at all. With anything at all. Filling your dura. Lay your doula from God rara such a person can never harm Allah at all by leaving Islam once a year to Zilla who shake it in, but Allah will reward the great

00:10:00--> 00:10:29

For now, it's possible that the first time you hear and I have the Quran, you know, you hear it, you understand and then you, you know, it doesn't really make a huge impact on you. But then the same idea, you hear it in another situation, and it affects you in a completely different way. It deeply moves you and you feel like you have heard the idea for the very first time. And we learned that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam actually passed away.

00:10:30--> 00:11:10

Remember that this is the battle of our hoods. These verses are about a herd. And are they happened very early on in the Medina and era. Right. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam passed away, many years after that. So when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam eventually passed away, and the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is something that the Companions never imagined would happen in their lifetime. And he they expected that they would die in his lifetime. And they expected that the Prophet sallallahu produciton would outlive them. So when he died, he actually died the companions went into confusion and shock and denial. We learned that our little doula who

00:11:10--> 00:11:48

are and who was just in his home Earth, Manuel de la Horton, who was you know, just quiet, and they did not know how to react and Erbil de la Horne, who was of the people who said that the prophets of Allah who sent him had not died, right. And he said that the Prophet sallallahu, artisanal had just gone, like Musa alayhis salam had left his people for 40 nights, and then he returned. So he said that similarly the Prophet salallahu it isn't it has just gone he will wake up. And Irma Allahu anhu, threatened to cut off the hands and feet of the hypocrites who were happy at saying that the prophets of Allah who word Islam had died. So basically, if anyone said the Prophet sallallahu

00:11:48--> 00:12:29

Elizondo had died, or model dylanglen, who accused him of hypocrisy, and he said that I will cut the hands and feet of those people and the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by the way, it was, it is the greatest disaster that humanity has ever experienced. So the companions were understandably confused. And when Abu Bakr al de la Mourinho, he heard of the news and at the time he was not in Medina, he came back to Medina, he went straight to the house of Isla de la Mancha, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was, and he uncovered the face of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he kissed his forehead and he said, be a viewer to me and he made

00:12:29--> 00:13:10

my father and mother be sacrificed for you clip to heighten well my youth and you were so beautiful when you were alive and also when you have died, and he said a few more things and then he went out to the people and he ascended the member. And when He ascended the member are mandala one who was standing in the masjid with his sword, okay unsheathed sword, and he was threatening to strike anyone who said that the Prophet sallallahu Urdu Saddam had died. So Abubakar Allahu Anhu. He tried to tell or middle dilla Horton who to you know stop to sit down with a moral dilemma and who refused. So a book called de la Horne who claimed a member and he said, oh people whoever used to

00:13:10--> 00:14:01

worship Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then indeed Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam has died and whoever used to worship Allah than indeed Allah is ever living. He does not die. And then he recited this idea. Well, man will Hamadan Allah Rasool cada Khaled ZMan cubberly Rasul FL imata ocotea. In collab Tamala are called become 1 million Kalevala RP following your daughter Allah, Shaya wasa Zilla who shocking. So when he recited this idea, the companions in he finally were able to understand and accept the death of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and they began reciting this idea over and over again. And they felt as if that idea had been revealed on that particular day. So

00:14:01--> 00:14:45

when they heard this idea, and they read it themselves, it helped them accept that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had indeed died. And before it, the news was not sinking in, and he they were not able to accept that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had died. So Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu. Any, he was truly the bravest and the most knowledgeable of all of the companions, because look at how he guided the Companions at this moment. And he when they were in a state of complete shock, and grief and denial, and they didn't know how to react, and when he recited this idea, or model de la Horne who just fell down on his knees, you know, he was no longer able to remain standing. So when

00:14:45--> 00:15:00

they heard the idea on that day, they felt as if the I had been revealed on that day, it hit them very differently. And when this idea was actually revealed in regard to the Battle of earth, Allah subhanaw taala is teaching us very

00:15:00--> 00:15:46

be important lesson that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is only a messenger. He's not God, he's not permanent, and he's not going to stay in the world forever, just as the messengers before him left, he too will leave. And his departure should not mean that you depart from Islam because you worship Allah and Allah is always there. So when I will Hamadan Allah rasool Allah, the word Mohammed, the name of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Mohammed means the one who is praised, okay, it's from the root letters. How neem dal hand is praise so Mohamed is one who is praised and he by others and he is called Mohammed because he is praised by Allah. Right He is

00:15:46--> 00:16:33

Muhammad and his name was also armas is the one who praises and this is because he praised Allah Allah. So when Mama Hamadan, Illa Allah soon, yes, he is the best of the messengers, but He is a messenger like the rest of the messengers. He is a messenger in terms of being human he is like new earliest Sinha and Ibrahim on his sternum and will Sardis and I'm and yeah, hairless Anna, they were human, he is human. And what happens to human beings, they die. So attachment complete Rasul. So just as the messengers before him died, he too will die and with their death, the religion of Allah is not supposed to die. So with the death of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the religion of

00:16:33--> 00:17:20

Allah who will not die ephah Imam Al Cotulla in collab Tamala arco become Guinea when the previous messengers when they died, their message continued right there people were supposed to believe and to continue to follow their messengers. So in the same way, when Muhammad Sallallahu Urdu sent him dies, you're supposed to continue to believe in Him and follow Him. And if he left you while fighting in the way of Allah, then you were supposed to continue to do that. Why did you stop fighting in the Battle of our heart? Why did you give up? So in this is a huge lesson for us that our ultimate attachment should be with Allah alone, and no one other than him. No human, no leader,

00:17:21--> 00:18:06

no person. Yes, we love the people that Allah subhanaw taala has placed in our lives. We love our leaders. And of course we love the Prophet sallallahu artemisinin more than we love any other human being, and yes, we follow Him. So Allahu alayhi wa sallam, but our ultimate hope and reliance and love and attachment is with Allah alone, because no one besides Allah is permanent. Right? It is Allah who we should depend on what the what color Alhaji lady Leia Moots put your trust in the one who is ever living who does not die. Now one thing I want you to notice in this ayah almost from Tata asks Effa Emerita output ILA, if he dies or is killed, what's the difference between the two

00:18:06--> 00:18:58

malt and cotton malt is death, right. So for example, a person dies a death due to natural causes, right. And mouth is basically death and death happens at the command of Allah. When Allah subhanaw taala commands that the soul of a person should be extracted from their body, and cattle, on the other hand, is killing which happens because of the work of people because of the act of men. Right? Now the thing is, people can do cuttin but they can cause moat, there's a difference here, any people can kill, but killing any attempting to kill does not necessarily cause death. Death only occurs when Allah subhanaw taala causes to occur. So people cannot give Mote It is Allah subhanaw

00:18:58--> 00:19:43

taala who gives him out? So this is the reason why Moulton cuttle both are mentioned and the O Mata output Allah O shows that both possibilities are there in the case of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this is, you know, a common discussion that did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam die due to natural causes, or was he killed because of the act of men? So what is well known is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam fell ill, and then he died a natural death. Right. And there are some orlimar, who say that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam was actually killed. How at Hayward, he was served the meat of a poisoned sheep, the effect of which lasted a very long time,

00:19:43--> 00:19:59

and he said a little while before he passed away, that I still feel the taste of that poison. So even Zuccotti said that the prophets of Allah who are listening was killed because of the effect of that poison, even though he died three years after consuming

00:20:00--> 00:20:46

And that poisoned meat, but the effect can any linger on for some time and eventually cause death. So this is similar to how, you know a person gets the diagnosis of a certain disease. And then two years after that they pass away or three years after that they pass away. So what was the cause it was that disease, right? So I was already is of the opinion that the Prophet sallallahu prinsendam was killed. And so we learned that the prophets of Allah who were losing was killed any Ultra died, and Allah subhanaw taala raised his status by making him Shaheed alright because the status of the Shaheed is much greater than the status of a person who dies a natural death. So of a meta alquila

00:20:46--> 00:21:33

In Kolak Tamala are called become and this question alpha imata Any will then any will you turn back upon your heels? If the prophets of Allah whoever it is that um dies or is killed? And in this question is a warning that you dare not any, you shall not turn back on your heels? You dare not do that. And then there's a threat that will may in Calabar, activate the Falaya doodle Allah shader whoever turns back on his yields will never harm Allah at all. And he's such a person will only harm themselves. Right as a last thought it says in the Quran that will meld Allah Munna Well, I can cancel and Fusa homeopathy Moon into three Bacara that they did not wronged us. They only wrong

00:21:33--> 00:22:15

themselves. So when a person does something wrong in regard to the right of Allah, they're not causing any harm to Allah. They're only causing harm to themselves. Like for example, if a person says, I'm not going to pray, are they harming Allah? No, they're harming themselves. If a person leaves a stem, are they harming Allah? No, they're harming themselves. So here, it's made clear that whoever turns back from Islam, because of the death of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam then such a person is not causing any harm to Allah or his religion, such a person is only harming themselves. Because the fact is that, you know, like we learned in a hadith Bootsy, that if the

00:22:15--> 00:23:03

first of you and the last of you, if all of the people would try to cause harm to Allah, they would not be able to cause any harm. If they became like the worst person ever, meaning imagine all humanity if they became like the worst person ever, that would not cause any harm to Allah. So our piety does not benefit Allah and our disobedience our sin does not cause harm to Allah. All right, In another Hadith, we learn Allah subhanaw taala says that intercom lenta blue Dory, and you can never reach a point where you can harm me, no matter what you do. So who will such a person harm then by leaving Islam himself? And then Allah says wasa Zilla, who shackling. But Allah will reward

00:23:03--> 00:23:48

the grateful was a doozy. Allah shall reward and he this is guaranteed that Allah will reward those who are grateful a shackling for love shacket the one who does sugar now how is sugar relevant in the context of this ayah What is sugar Exactly? And he shook typically we think is what giving thanks right thank you Allah for giving me food Thank you Allah for giving me hell Thank you Allah for saving me from troubles Thank you Allah for giving me family etcetera. We think this is sugar and yes, it is sugar but sugar is not just about thanking Allah verbally for your blessings. Shaka is also lived, how it has lived by living a life of obedience to Allah. So what's the edge is Allah

00:23:48--> 00:24:36

who check it in check it in over here are those who remain firm on Islam, no matter what the circumstances are he who do not turn back from Islam, those who continue to obey Allah and in this context, think about it. shackling are those who continue to fight the enemy. Even after they heard the rumor, the false news that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had been killed. He, they were thinking that the prophets of Allah who already sent him had died, but still they remain committed to the religion of Allah. So this is sugar. honey, sugar is not just saying thank you Allah sugar is living a life off commitment to Allah. Right? Any you are dedicated to Allah. So they

00:24:36--> 00:24:59

remain firm on the religion of Allah, regardless of what the circumstances were. And if you think about it, you know, some people Masha Allah, they're like this, that no matter where they are, and no matter who they're with, they are committed to Allah. It doesn't matter what city they're in. It doesn't matter what place they're in. It doesn't matter who's

00:25:00--> 00:25:45

company they're in. It doesn't matter what's happening in their life. It doesn't matter what environment they're in. They don't forget Allah right and they are true to Allah, they remain committed to Allah. This is the sugar that is being mentioned in this ayah and for this sugar was a it is illegal shackling any for this sugar is great reward. Other people are such that if they are in a certain environment, yes, they are, you know, very committed to Allah, but put them in a different environment and they become someone else. If they're, you know, in a certain company, you know, with good people, they become like them, but put them in a different crowd. And they become

00:25:45--> 00:26:34

like that. Some people are such that, you know, as long as you know, things are good and easy in their life, they are very grateful. They remember Allah a lot, but when things get tough and hard, then they become very unhappy, very miserable. So, each one of us needs to think that who am I? Because we worship Allah subhanaw taala because of who he is, right beginni Our worship is not dependent on certain times. Any Justin Ramadan, we are very devout, nor is it limited to or dependent on certain places, that in the masjid, we are very Muslim. And in Makkah Medina we're very Muslim. And in the plane, we are not, no, the worship of Allah is not limited to it is not dependent

00:26:34--> 00:27:19

on certain times or certain places or certain environments or certain people. So what's the edge? Is it allow shackling now what is that reward? What is that zap? Let's say a jersey, pet reward has not been specified, because it's too great Subhan Allah. Now, you know, unnecessarily the Allahu Anhu he said that, on the day that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam died. I mean, on the day that he actually died, he said that Medina fell in darkness. That's how it felt that Medina was dark, there was no light. But then what happened afterwards. Gradually, the light returned, the sadness became manageable, until we learned that the following day, after the death of the Prophet sallallahu

00:27:19--> 00:28:05

alayhi wasallam. The companions had gathered together and are mortal de la Mourinho, he said that I wish that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had outlived all of us. But if he has died, Allah has kept light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allah guided the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam with that, honey, just because the prophets Allah who are listening has passed away, the light of guidance has not passed away, it's still there, Allah is the One who guided the prophets of Allah who are using them. Right? And that light is still with us. And that light is of Islam. So once a year is Allahu *reen you know, many times I hear from different

00:28:05--> 00:28:46

students that, you know, right now we're studying the Quran, and you know, we're in a certain environment, especially students who are studying full time, or, you know, they go to the Institute, and they study over there, you know, and hamdulillah it's a huge blessing that a person gets that opportunity to be physically present with, you know, people who are doing the same thing, because definitely your environment affects you. Alright, but then their fear is that once we go elsewhere, then what's going to happen? All right, and yes, we should have that fear, any we should always fear for our future any for our is the karma any am I going to remain committed to the religion of Allah

00:28:46--> 00:29:32

or not? Any we should never take that for granted. We should ask Allah subhanaw taala any because of the sphere, we should ask Allah subhanaw taala for Tofik and we have to keep trying hard. So this is teaches a very important lesson that he I'm supposed to worship Allah, whether I am in one place or in another, alright, I'm supposed to worship Allah, whether I'm surrounded by very righteous people or very different people, right? Because those who stopped are being recommended here, that why did you stop and those who do not those who carry on, then look at the reward that Allah subhanaw taala promises them was a urges. Illa who shacket in Allah shall reward those who show gratitude that

00:29:32--> 00:30:00

Allah subhanaw taala says woman can clean up sin and demoted iLab Eden Allah He Kitab Agila warmer Canada and it is not meaning it is not possible. It cannot happen. Clean up sin for a soul and the muda that it dies in NaVi Eden Allah except by the permission of Allah meeting no soul can die except by the permission of Allah. If a person dies, then it's because

00:30:00--> 00:30:53

The last panel Tada allowed that death to occur and with regard to death, almost pentatonic tells us that it is key tava mu Agila any death is decreed as a decree that is a gin. Now, a gel means one whose Agile is specified, okay and agile Hamza Jim Lam, agile is a particular point in time, right or the word Agile is also used for a particular period of time. And Kitab means a decree Kapha. So death is a decree for which an Agile has been specified. Right? Any it's something that is already decreed. First of all, it's going to happen, right? There is no human being that comes into the world except that he has to leave it. Kowloon Upson that is to remote every soul will taste death.

00:30:53--> 00:31:51

So death is decreed and not only is a decreed, it's time is decreed Kitab Agila in the very moment at which it is supposed to occur is decreed. So this means that a person cannot die before that agenda, right or after they will die when death is decreed for them. I don't know if you've ever seen a death certificate, any the specific time is mentioned 9:05am For example, alright, so keytab agenda. Now, this verse actually gives us a lot of courage, these words give the Muslim bravery and strength and thought that that you know what, I cannot die except at my fixed time. And so, the novel is 61 the last parenthesis for Elijah jello is the clear on a certain will is stuck the moon

00:31:51--> 00:32:41

that when their turn comes meaning when the time of their death comes then they cannot delay that by an hour nor can they advance any they cannot die before that or after that, they will die at the specified time. If you think about it, Allah subhanaw taala is the one who has color color motor will Hayata right as we learn in certain milk, he has created death and life and he fixed the time of death for each creature. And that time of death is something that you we cannot avoid or advance or delay. So when such as the case, then do not live in fear of death, or waiting for death. Because death is a certain fact of life. It's unavoidable. Right. So any is the most certain fact of life

00:32:41--> 00:33:33

that you are going to die. And when the time of death is specified, unavoidable, unchangeable, that means I should not live each day waiting for when I'm going to die, or fearing everyday that I am going to die, because you know what, I am going to die. So when death is determined, it's fixed, then how am I supposed to live each day by focusing on the present? Right. And by focusing on what is to come after death, because I have been given the present time. Why so that I can prepare for what is to come after death. Death has already been created a lady her local motor, in a death is created. It is in the hands of Allah it's time is fixed. So some people they're very obsessed with

00:33:33--> 00:34:17

dying, they just want to die already. So if such as the case and tell yourself that death is the most certain fact of my life, right, I am going to die. So it's going to happen when it's going to happen. I'm not living in this world forever. And for now, I'm supposed to focus on the now and what is to come after death. And other people are very afraid of death, always trying to protect themselves from death. And again, this is a huge reminder that you know what you're trying to protect yourself is not going to turn death away from you. And what this is telling us if someone dies then it is by the permission of Allah. So how could you ever be upset at the decree of Allah?

00:34:17--> 00:34:59

So when a person dies whether they're young or old, or you know whoever they are, they died at the time that was fixed for them to die. Right at the time of death is fixed at a specified when a person is still in the womb Subhan Allah in total and Jeremiah to Allah subhanaw taala says who will lead the Halacha comin training for Macula agenda will agile Musa manner in the hope that he is one who created you from clay and then he decreed a term and the specified time is with him and he he knows when each person is going to die? So in this is an encouragement for the cowards to continue to participate in battle, because this is making clear that

00:35:00--> 00:35:41

going into battle or avoiding battle, will neither decrease your lifetime nor increase it. You will die when you're supposed to, and connected with the previous iron that if you heard that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam has been killed, and that news was false. But if you heard that, and you thought it was true, then he died by the permission of Allah. So it was something that was meant to happen. Right then why would you stop fighting in the way of Allah? Why would you surrender? Why would you weaken? Then Allah subhanaw taala says, Well, maybe you did so well. But duniya no to human. And whoever desires the reward of this world, we will give him their off Wilma uted syllable

00:35:41--> 00:36:29

Aha, new to him in her and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, we will give him there off was an edge is a shocking and we shall reward the grateful now, well may you did, you did from irida. Little while done. And the lab is recompense typically used for the good recompense as in reward. So whoever wants the reward of the world, any they ultimately desire, the recompense for their efforts in the world, they want to see the results. Now, the news team in her almost mantra says, We shall give him from it from what from the reward of the world? Well, my unit so I will Alfia whoever wants the reward of the Hereafter, any a person strives in the world so that they

00:36:29--> 00:37:23

reward in the hereafter the new team and we will give him their off, wasn't a does a shocking and we shall reward the grateful so each person needs to ask themselves that, what is it that I'm really seeking? And where is it that I want returns for my effort in this life, or in the Hereafter? If it is the hereafter, then I have to keep striving in the way of Allah, whether someone I love is alive, is there in my life or they have died, whether I am in Medina, or in another place like Las Vegas or something. Why because if I'm seeking the hereafter, then I'm seeking the approval of Allah. Right? And if I'm seeking Allah, then Allah subhana wa Tada deserves worship, whether someone I love is in

00:37:23--> 00:38:06

my life or not, whether I am in great company or not, whether I am in Medina or somewhere else, and if I'm worshipping Allah, then I have to worship Allah, as long as he's there. And Allah subhanaw taala has ever living. Right? And if I'm worshiping Allah, I have to worship Allah until I meet him. So I have to keep striving until I meet him. So well my unit so I but dunya no team, and how am I unit so I will ask her a new team. And when a person gives up the worship of Allah or striving in the way of Allah, they quit because of certain people, that those people are no longer in my life anymore, or because of certain events, and in their life, then it shows that they weren't really

00:38:06--> 00:38:50

seeking Allah anyway, they were actually seeking the dunya. So each person needs to ask themselves, who am I really seeking? And now there is a question of last month, it says over here that whoever seeks the reward of the world, which will give him from it, new team and how we give him from it. Now is it really the case that the person who seeks dunya is actually given dunya new team in her? Not always, right? Because there are people who desperately desire the dunya and they seek it, but they do not get much of it. So some people you know, they will read this idea, and then they will read other ideas in the Quran and they will just see the Quran is contradictory. And that is not the

00:38:50--> 00:39:32

case. The thing is that parts of the Quran explain other parts. Here, a principle is mentioned in general terms, that whoever seeks the world will get the world whoever it seeks the hereafter will get the Hereafter. And each person should see ask themselves what is it that they're truly seeking? In another verse of the Quran, it is specified. So here in general terms the rule is mentioned. But in another verse, this concept is specified in SOTL Israa, verses 18 and 19. Allah subhanaw taala says Men Cara, you read Raja Arjuna, who Femina Shah only mannucci Some Madonna the whole Jana Musa Manuel mantra that whoever seeks the immediate meaning the world, then we give him something in the

00:39:32--> 00:39:59

world. What Manisha what we will, Lima nudie for whom we want any a person does not get whatever they want in the world. No, they only get what Allah subhanaw taala decrees for them, right? They will only get what Allah wants to give them. So whoever works for the sake of this life will only earn what Allah decides. They will earn right? But the akhira Subhan Allah

00:40:00--> 00:40:50

The ACCA is only for those who believe. Right? As Allah says in surah, three iraf, verse 32, that call here little livina, ama Nofal, higher, the dunya, highly Slotomania will PM, that the good things of this world, and the good things are sustenance, they are for the believers in worldly life, any the believers are worthy of them, and they will be exclusively for the believers on the Day of Judgment highly cited. So, the akhira is exclusively for those who believe. So, here we are taught that whoever seeks the world will get that and whoever seeks the hereafter will get that. So, what is it that you desire? Now, you know, when you read verses like this, you wonder, Should I

00:40:50--> 00:41:31

desire anything of the world, then? Is it wrong for me to desire, good things of the world? Because basically, this idea is telling us that we should desire the hereafter. Right? So, for example, what if you really want, you know, a nice dress, or, let's say, a really nice hairdryer or something like that, something expensive, something nice? Is it wrong for you to desire it? Is it wrong for you to wish for it? Is it wrong for you to like it to want it? Should you seek good reward only in the hereafter? Or should you seek should you desire good things in the world and good things in the hereafter? Both

00:41:32--> 00:42:14

you should desire good things in the world and good things in the hereafter. Why? Because that is the best thing to do. And that is what the Sunnah is, and that is what Allah subhanaw taala teaches us, right? And so there are Bukhara that there are among people, those who say, Oh our Lord only give us in the world. And such people will have no share the hereafter. But there are others who say Robina attina for dunya Hassan will fill Astrati Hassan our Lord give us good things in the world and also give us good things in the Hereafter. And this was the Prophet sallallahu, Urdu sytems, most frequent Dora, and a dua that Allah subhanaw taala teaches us himself in the Quran. So desiring

00:42:14--> 00:43:00

the world is not bad, it is permissible, but it should not be the main goal. Right? Our main goal should be what to desire, the reward of the Hereafter. Now look at how the I NS was entered as a shocking and we shall reward the grateful look at how the previous ayah ended was a Zilla who shacking two times we have been told that Allah will reward the grateful. So we should be very grateful to Allah. Right? Because Allah subhanaw taala promises good reward to those who are grateful. So we should be very grateful to Allah. And the best of sugar is to say, Alhamdulillah when do we say Alhamdulillah? Like, imagine you have a headache and someone asks you, how are you

00:43:00--> 00:43:05

doing? And you're like, with the saddest expression ever? And like 100

00:43:06--> 00:43:48

All right, so they know that, you know, something's not right. Of course, you should say 100 Allah, even when you're in pain, but when you said hum did Allah say it happened the right show that really you are grateful to Allah, you are very happy with what Allah subhanaw taala has given you and shook it. It's not just felt in the heart. It's also expressed verbally, and it's also lived right through our actions through our choices through our worship, and also verbally we really need to increase our sugar by saying Alhamdulillah a lot and also by thanking people. So what's energy is a shocking we shall reward the grateful
