Ramadan Amin Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

ala al Amin. So you didn't know have you been no quota you need to

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

call into hygiene What's your feeling was to being sad when

00:00:19 --> 00:00:23

Muhammad and Abdullah while early was hobby as Where do you want to

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

monitor the body he was still in the vicinity went to Hajj and even

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31

within Daraa can Mahajan obey Law Legal hochanda Howdy her lawyers

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

around Hadler helicobacter. So Hamdulillah I apologize for the

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40

slight delay. As you can see, we are trying to upgrade the

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

connection to an HD camera that we're working with. So hopefully

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

we'll have all the

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

kinks worked out by the next time within eight hours.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

So as I mentioned, those of you who are in the WhatsApp group I

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

did send out about half an hour ago, a handout

00:00:58 --> 00:01:03

outlining, outlining what we'll cover in this session, eschatology

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

or a semi yet and this is considered traditionally to be the

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

third

00:01:12 --> 00:01:17

subject or issue or a broad set of issues that we study in Islamic

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

theology or creed or Elida, beginning with India yet, so

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

things that concern divinity and the divine attributes. And then

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

over the past few sessions, we will went over the wet, which are

00:01:30 --> 00:01:36

the prophetic attributes. And now we will look at a seminar yet,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

which

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

broadly defined as that which we would have no knowledge of, unless

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

we were informed by a

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

source that is trustworthy here, in this case, the source being the

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. So

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

these are going to be things concerning

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

the realms, or the realm of the unseen things that we cannot

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

normally perceive. So it's often going to talk about things from

00:02:09 --> 00:02:15

Ireland, and Melaku, or Ireland, in life, things of the unseen

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

things of the sovereign dominion of Allah subhanaw taala. And many

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

of these things exist as we speak, as we will, we will go over and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

some of them do not some will come to exist later on.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

And there is obviously, those of us who've already begun

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

gone on to their island labor element mela could, what we call

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

it higher and bonza. So the Vasa, which is kind of the life between

00:02:43 --> 00:02:49

the two lives, so between the life of the dunya, that me and you and

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

everyone else who's speaking and hearing right now, this is the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

life of the dunya. And then there's Adam as well as us, which

00:02:56 --> 00:03:02

is in between, which is the life of the grave, the life of waiting

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

for the resurrection and the events in the beginning of your

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

monthly ama the Day of Resurrection, the only nursery

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

woman bath also known as

00:03:12 --> 00:03:19

So, as we are taking our evidence for these things that exist from

00:03:19 --> 00:03:25

authentic sources. And there is a distinction then between what we

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

know from a seminar yet in terms of epistemology, in other words,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

how we know what we know. So, when we talked about the existence of

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

God,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

which we did in the beginning sections of the book, cultivate it

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

theme.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

And remember the ledger he stated that

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

talk lead or just imitation and following in this regard, in other

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

words, taking authority to report is insufficient for commanded Eman

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

for a complete sense of iman. In other words, he mentioned that

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

people should be Mr. He doing people should be the believer

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

should have their own

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

way and methodology that they arrive at their personal

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

conviction for the existence of God or of Allah subhanaw taala and

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

this is the bedrock This is the foundation of Amen. Otherwise,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:21

there is type of a circular argument if we say well I believe

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

in Allah because the Quran says so. And then you will say well,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

why do you believe in the Quran? Because I believe in Allah and

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

then it's a circular argument. So even the Quran directs us to the

00:04:31 --> 00:04:37

way by which we can have a further and certain conviction in the

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

existence of a last man without and we mentioned this before in

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43

the previous sessions. Phenomenal lunar lander on either MDK for

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

wholecloth weightless center ek Philadelphia to llg Valley K for

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

mostly but what are the K Fossati had further gear in NEMA

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

intermolecular stylee him the most lighter. So tell them how do they

00:04:55 --> 00:05:00

not see the the way that the camel the the ship of the day?

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

desert has been created in its perfection and how the sky and

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

heaven has been raised and the mountains have been upheld. And

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

the Earth has been made.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:17

Flat, not after a flat globe, but the Earth itself is softer, has

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

been made flat and all of these there's a sign. And then it tells

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

the province for asylum,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

law styling and we will say, right, you are not someone who's

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

going to compel them, you are just a motor carrier, you are someone

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

to remind them. So this task here then, is something that we should

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

actively engage in. And that's how we used to say to each other,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

there are other movements, you know, let us go, you know, Jed did

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

Amen and or not men sad, let us renew our faith, or let us have a

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

strong conviction, our faith. So there's always things to be read,

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

and there's always signs to be deciphered. And they're always

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

mani and meanings behind the Madani behind the facade, and the

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

exterior, outward projection of things that will give us a greater

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

conviction of Allah subhanaw taala. And it need not be

00:06:00 --> 00:06:05

something that's like, an amazing, extraordinary occurrence, and say,

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

Oh, subhanAllah, this person, you know, defied all the odds and what

00:06:08 --> 00:06:13

the doctor said, and they survived the accident Anyway, look at that

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

a lot that happens to any of us. It could be in something as simple

00:06:16 --> 00:06:22

as you woke up this morning, and the sun rose in the east, and you

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

have yet another day, to breathe and to live and to know your Lord,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:32

this is as just as we could say, extraordinary as the things that

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

we think, defy our exponential, customary.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

Take on things. So in all of those things, there is a Glory to Allah

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

subhanaw taala. And there is a means by which to know him and

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

have a stronger conviction. So that's in terms of Allah and His

00:06:51 --> 00:06:55

attributes. And then we also mentioned the prophets and the

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

Prophet Muhammad sauce, and specifically and his attributes.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

So similarly, we arrive at a conviction for the four reasons

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

that we mentioned before that we went over in the previous session.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

And some of them include the miracles of the Prophet saw some

00:07:09 --> 00:07:13

of them some of them also include, as I mentioned, seeing the

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

prophetic properties in attributes and other people. And knowing that

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

it could have not come something of their own volition. But such

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

perfection and character could have only come from an exemplar

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

that was sent by God and so forth.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

But a semi yet, which we're discussing now, can really only be

00:07:30 --> 00:07:35

known by way of authoritative transmission. And here, this is

00:07:35 --> 00:07:40

when we get into the details, a little bit of what is a moto

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

attic, how about and what is not moto letter, so moto letter,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

something that has been verified by many, many authoritative people

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

and chains of transmission, such as that we would ordinarily find

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

it inconceivable that people all these people would have conspired

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

to lie about it, sort of just like, we may believe in a far off

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

land that we've never been to, you know, like, if you've never been

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

to Cambodia, or Botswana, or Australia, or New Zealand, or

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

whatever it may be, but you believe it exists nonetheless,

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

because, you know, for certain that so many people who have

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

talked about it, they could have not lied about it, or something

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

that's historical. So we know the existence of our profits are

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

seven, this is mortality, right? This is something that could not

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

have conspired that they made up this person called Mohammed, or

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

they made up this person called Jesus or they're made of this

00:08:30 --> 00:08:35

person called Moses and so forth. So by the same token, we know the

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

summit yet those things that are known by

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

authoritative transmission. So if it's mentioned in the Quran, then

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

immediately it becomes from

00:08:46 --> 00:08:51

the absolutely certain about because the Quran itself is

00:08:51 --> 00:08:55

multilateral, the Quran itself has been transmitted by many, many

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

chains of transmission. If it's mentioned in the Quran, and

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

Hadith, same thing, if it's only mentioned in the Hadith, then we

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

have to take a

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

more discerning view and look at well, is it multilateral? Or is it

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

merely just a had a had being a singular chain of transmission, or

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

maybe a few people but not to the level of iron clad absolute

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

certainty.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

This also will form part of our theology, but not in the same

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

manner as things our motto letter things that are done with our

00:09:25 --> 00:09:30

letter, you have to accept it as a Muslim. Otherwise, your Islam can

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

come into question if you deny it, if you deny something that's

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

undeniable.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

So I didn't want to spend too much time on some of that technical

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

stuff. Let's look at some of the

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

things from the handout. And the order here is not a particular

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

order, how they actually happened. This was the order that amendment

00:09:47 --> 00:09:52

30 which I was referencing in it that behavior is how he mentioned

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

them, so I went in that particular

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

so the first one the reckoning or the hyssop.

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

All humans will stand

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Before long the gathering, or the mash out, which is going to come

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

after this and hushed, where they will be judged upon their actions,

00:10:07 --> 00:10:13

words and beliefs. They will hear him Yanni Allah directly in a

00:10:13 --> 00:10:18

matter commensurate with His Majesty. Or they will hear the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

angels or they will hear both Allah and the angels, these are

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

differences of opinion amongst the parliament. So certainly there is

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

a he said, There was a reckoning, but in terms of how exactly that's

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

going to be, is Allah subhanaw taala going to speak to us

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

directly and then we are going to hear him not by sound and not by

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

letter but in a manner that's commensurate with His Majesty like

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

when Allah Ivana spoke to Musa and he said I'm or spoke to Mohammed

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

Salah Salem and the night the night of the Mirage, something of

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

that nature, Allah Allah or it could be the angels or it could be

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

both alone the angels who are doing the the reckoning or the

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

HiSET and we also know the reckoning will different or the

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

hisab amongst people some it will come with ease for so for you has

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

47 Yes era so some people have his app. Yeah, see

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

was over your house over here seven, I see Ron some will have us

00:11:14 --> 00:11:18

here. Some will be difficult, some will be done secretly. In other

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

words, only between you and God no one else knows the history of no

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

one else will see what you did or what you didn't do. And some

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

openly right some will be like a folly ha and some will be you may

00:11:29 --> 00:11:34

get humiliated openly. For select group, led by Abu Bakr Siddiq,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

there will be no formal reckoning, or Levine as karuna, Janita,

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

minerais. He said, the ones who enter into paradise without he

00:11:42 --> 00:11:47

said without any formal reckoning, so this group will enter paradise

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

without one. And the Hadith mentioned that there are 70,000 of

00:11:50 --> 00:11:56

them. This number 70,000 Generally speaking, we say it's doesn't

00:11:56 --> 00:12:01

necessarily mean exactly 70,000 because 70 and 707,000, any kind

00:12:01 --> 00:12:08

of multiple of that is seen as just a large, complete and perfect

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

number in Arabic language. So it could mean something more than

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

that, like in the same way, when Allah smart Allah says in the

00:12:14 --> 00:12:19

hadith of footsie a CMOD wanna edge Zb Illa several minutes the

00:12:19 --> 00:12:19

law

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

that the fasting is for me.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:29

And I will reward up to 700 times so 700 doesn't mean 700 could mean

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

7000 could mean 7 million. So that's why we also pray that we

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

are amongst those who are entered into paradise mean later he said,

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

Well, I tell what a cloud well I'm gonna push it to haisa So we don't

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

want Munakata of the HiSET we don't want to have this discussion

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

between a lot because the prophets are seldom said when when my no

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

question Fred herself or fibroids whoever is it's a type of torment

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

to have this Munna Akasha for last month, how to say why did you do

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

this and why did you do that? And why did you fail to do this?

00:13:00 --> 00:13:04

And this will be the perfect reckoning. Right? The perfect

00:13:04 --> 00:13:04

justice.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

One other more was, you know, listen to the Omen piano, for that

00:13:10 --> 00:13:10

will live on of some shape.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:17

Right the moseying list list here. It means absolute, judicious,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

without fail without any

00:13:20 --> 00:13:25

iota of injustice, perfect justice. This is will be the

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

justice of Allah subhanaw taala? How will How can will.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

And if our last month I want to deal with all of us just by His

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

justice, none of us would deserve anything and none of us would

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

enter into paradise. That's why we say we want to enter Paradise by

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. Because if we were to depend upon

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

our deeds, our deeds shortly would would fail in comparison to all of

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

the blessings that Allah Subhana Allah has given us. So we want to

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

enter by the mercy of God and this

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

this doctrine is more or less recounted by the province, I saw

00:13:55 --> 00:13:59

them in the hadith of a of a member of Benny Israelite Eve. And

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

this is something that will happen in the future. But the prophet saw

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

I sent him this for telling it, that he will come before God to

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

this man. And he will be asked how do you want to enter paradise and

00:14:08 --> 00:14:11

he'll say, I want to enter by my deeds, and he was a man of worship

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

God for hundreds of years.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

And then Allah will say to him, Well, let us weigh one blessing

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

against your deeds than the Zen right, which we're going to get to

00:14:21 --> 00:14:26

later. So the blessings will be of eyesight will be measured against

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

all of his deeds and the blessing of eyesight will be heavier, and

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

then it will be taken off towards hellfire. And then the men will

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

interrupt and say, wait, wait, wait. Let me enter by Your mercy.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

And then a low enter Him by His mercy.

00:14:39 --> 00:14:43

The Sahaba asked even you rasool Allah even you will enter Paradise

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

by Allah's mercy not by your deeds and you're the prophet. He said

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

Hector enter it Allah and yet Allah Medina lava Rama T, even

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

myself, except that a philosopher envelops me in his all

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

encompassing and all enveloping mercy. So yes, the Quran says with

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

Hello Jen net

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

Have you met Quinton TAMIU? Right into paradise for that which you

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

have done and certainly there is a connection between our deeds and

00:15:06 --> 00:15:11

our entering of paradise. But in terms of our internal doctrine,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

what we want to depend upon in terms of how we deal with the last

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

call to Allah, not by our deeds, but by the mercy of Allah, because

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

the deeds themselves indeed, are also by the mercy of God. He is

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

the one who gave us the tofield the divine success to do them to

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

begin with. So there will be this ASAP and that's kind of one of the

00:15:28 --> 00:15:32

main things of the next life, there will be the beginning of the

00:15:32 --> 00:15:36

hisab or the reckoning. Before the reckoning. There'll be something

00:15:36 --> 00:15:42

called Al hush or will mash or all will be gathered after the

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

resurrection from their graves to an area that Allah will create

00:15:46 --> 00:15:50

specifically for that purpose. So something that there is another

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

opinion that says it's the actual Earth itself, but the majority

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

opinion is that everything will be destroyed as the Quran says,

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

Ghulam Ali Hassan, we have clouds we will have because of Gilani

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

what the Quran, so all of you destroyed and then all will be

00:16:02 --> 00:16:06

resurrected and Allah will then resurrect this place, this plane

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

or all of humanity, all that have ever lived, will be gathered

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

specifically for the purpose to await to gather and to await for

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

the sad or the reckoning. And again there will be varying

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

degrees of tribulation and difficulty commensurate with one

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

standing with Allah. So people will be standing in their own

00:16:24 --> 00:16:28

sweat naked next to each other even our Isha remarked how was the

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

soil Rasul? Allah He said, Yeah, the matter is bigger than people

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

worrying about who's standing next to whom and who's not wearing

00:16:34 --> 00:16:39

clothes, that people will be much we'll be in a state of torment in

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

a sense, thinking about where am I going to be and what's going to

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

happen, and so forth.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

So the waiting for the reckoning will be agonizing. And it will be

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

commensurate with one standing with Allah for some it will be

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

easy. For some it will be, they will have shade, right and the

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

Hadith of the Prophet that mentions that there are seven

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

types of people who will be shaded by the shade of God, we're on a

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

day that there'll be no other shade and the shade of Allah and

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

amongst them will be emammal ideal, the one who

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

advocated justly between people if they were in a leadership

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

position.

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

To have been a filler, those who loved each other merely for the

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

sake of Allah, Rajan Coughlin with our London massage, it's someone

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

whose heart is connected to the message

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

to young people who grew up together and do so for the sake of

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

God the person who

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

is in middle of the night and and a moment of

00:17:35 --> 00:17:39

epiphany, so to speak, the father tie now that they they weep

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

thinking about their situation with God. So these are all

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

indications of

00:17:44 --> 00:17:50

complete sincerity, or utmost sincerity and upset. So these

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

types of people will have the shade on this day.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

When they around a little bit like alphas, alpha sanity matter are

00:17:58 --> 00:18:03

doing and even when we say it's a day, while the day in Allah's

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

hisab is like 1000 years of what we count. So this is actually a

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

whole nother life. That's why it's the life of the bottom of the

00:18:10 --> 00:18:14

grave is a life by itself. That will may feel longer than the life

00:18:14 --> 00:18:18

that you lived here. And then the life of the afterlife, even before

00:18:18 --> 00:18:21

entering into paradise, or Hellfire is also a whole nother

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

type of life. So

00:18:24 --> 00:18:28

this Smasher, then we will be waiting there, and all will

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

continue to wait until

00:18:32 --> 00:18:37

people grow tired and weary. And they just want the reckoning to

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

happen, no matter what the outcome is. And then they realize that

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

amongst them are all of the prophets and messengers. So even

00:18:43 --> 00:18:46

the progress and messengers will be further than Russia, they will

00:18:46 --> 00:18:51

be in the gathering. And they will begin to seek out these prophets

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

and messengers and they'll ask them one by one, will you not

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

intercede on our behalf to Allah subhanaw taala. So the reckoning

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

may begin, and they will go through all of them. They'll start

00:19:01 --> 00:19:05

with Adam Alehissalaam. And he'll he'll say something like, you

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

know, I ate from the forbidden tree and I don't think I'm in a

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

position to do that enough CFC, I need to think about myself. And

00:19:12 --> 00:19:16

all of them all down the line will say the same thing until they get

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

to the last prophet. And he says another and this last Prophet is

00:19:20 --> 00:19:24

Mohammed salah. And then he will intercede on behalf of all of

00:19:24 --> 00:19:29

humanity. This is called a Shiva ultimate, or the greatest

00:19:29 --> 00:19:35

intercession. And so there's not a single human being and also Jinn

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

who has been created except that they will avail themselves of this

00:19:39 --> 00:19:43

mercy of the Prophet. So I said, Well, my son NECA Illa Rahmatullah

00:19:43 --> 00:19:46

Alameen. We have not sent you except as a mercy towards Allah

00:19:46 --> 00:19:50

Allah means towards for every one so included in this mercy will be

00:19:50 --> 00:19:54

even the disbeliever and an unbeliever and those who ever

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

didn't even know Mohammed and those who are not even from the

00:19:56 --> 00:20:00

Muhammad from the previous. So the people of Moses and

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

Jesus and of David and of Solomon, and

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

Joseph and others, all of them will benefit from the

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

intercession, the shafa of Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:20

So after that, we'll look again, this is not in the order, I'll

00:20:20 --> 00:20:23

talk about that the end. The third thing I have mentioned here is the

00:20:23 --> 00:20:28

other tab in general, or the torment of the afterlife. So this

00:20:28 --> 00:20:32

believers and disobedient believers will experience a

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

torment in the grave. So this is the first kind of the beginning of

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

the afterlife that we'll cover in the gathering also the Masha and

00:20:39 --> 00:20:43

we talked about how people will be standing and under the sun that is

00:20:43 --> 00:20:47

unlike the Sun we have now and sweating and some of them up to

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

their ankles, some of to their knees, some of them will be

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

completely submerged in their sweat

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

and then also eventually in hellfire by both body and spirit.

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

So in all of those, there will be a torment of the body like a

00:21:00 --> 00:21:04

physical torment and also a torment of the Spirit. And

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

remember that as Ali says, the torment of the Spirit is the

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

greater one.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:13

He says that it is enough of a torment to have this clutter in

00:21:13 --> 00:21:17

Qatar to order this board, to feel that you're outside of the Mercy

00:21:17 --> 00:21:21

of Allah subhanaw taala. This is enough of a torment, even despite

00:21:21 --> 00:21:22

the physical torments.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

And the Hadith indicate the levels and forms of torment vary

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

according to the sins of the aforementioned. So when the

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

Prophet SAW send them during this era in Mount Raj, he was given

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

glimpses into the people of Paradise and the people of

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

hellfire. And he saw that people will be tortured, or tormented

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

with certain things depending upon the sense that they did. So the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:45

one who spoke who lied and said there are islands of they were a

00:21:45 --> 00:21:49

scholar, but the misguided and misled people, their tongue will

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

be so big, they have to carry it on their back.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:57

So all of those things that were in terms of money, right in this

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

life, then they will turn and then the money will become money, they

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

will become composite forms themselves in the next life, even

00:22:05 --> 00:22:09

though they were only realized in this life in terms of meaning. And

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

that's one of the ways of the torment that will be there.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

This obedient believers, however, will eventually be entered into

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

paradise. So

00:22:20 --> 00:22:24

you know, whoever has mythical Hazara, if you call him an Amen,

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

even if you have just an iota of Amen in your heart, you will

00:22:27 --> 00:22:32

eventually will be admitted into paradise. And a memorable hottie

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

narrates a hadith of the prophets, I sent him and he talks about the

00:22:36 --> 00:22:41

last person to enter into paradise, the very last one. So

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

you can imagine what type of person will be the last one, this

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

has to be someone who did many, many sins, but nevertheless, Allah

00:22:46 --> 00:22:50

subhanaw taala will bring him closer, you will ask him to

00:22:50 --> 00:22:53

imagine he said ask for what you wish. And then he will bring him

00:22:53 --> 00:22:57

closer and closer until he gets to the doors of Paradise. And then he

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

says to Allah subhanaw taala I just want to enter paradise. And

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

the man before had swore all sorts of oaths and taken all sorts of

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

covenants, he wouldn't ask anything else. But then he enters

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

into paradise. And then he says demand now than wish and then

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

anything that you wish you'll have 10 times more. So this is the last

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

person to enter paradise. So what about the ones who entered before

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

that? And of course, the first person to enter Paradise is our

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu.

00:23:23 --> 00:23:24

So

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

just as there was torment of the afterlife, there's also bliss of

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

the afterlife Oh, throw up. So believers and will also experience

00:23:37 --> 00:23:41

bliss in the grave, the gathering and eventual in Paradise by both

00:23:41 --> 00:23:46

body and spirit. And Allah is oft forgiving, or full Rahim. So even

00:23:46 --> 00:23:50

the most disobedient believer can be spared the torment of the

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

afterlife by Allah's mercy. So the way that we understand Allah's

00:23:54 --> 00:24:00

justice is he may deal with us by His justice, but he is not

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

compelled to do so. Because the last month I was not compelled to

00:24:03 --> 00:24:08

do anything. So we believe that if you committed you committed the

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

most

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

vile of sins,

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

anything less than chick, anything less than an actual denial of God

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

and or assaults and or associating partners with him. But you're

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

still a believer, but you committed all these vile things.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:27

Allah subhanaw taala can forgive you completely and he can enter

00:24:27 --> 00:24:31

you into paradise, even without hyssop even without a reckoning,

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

allow me to that. He can choose to do that. And there's nothing

00:24:34 --> 00:24:38

preventing Allah subhanaw taala from doing that. And we know that

00:24:38 --> 00:24:41

he's awful, that his pardoning is bigger than the sins that we

00:24:41 --> 00:24:46

commit. But out of our comportment out of our elevar etiquette with

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

Allah subhanaw taala we do not just merely depend on his mercy.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:54

We also seek to be faithful servants and that's how you know

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

why we're talking about this sessions that the sessions that

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

we've been doing. The journey is the destination of all these

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

books.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

The things Allah has blessed us with, than the least we can do is

00:25:02 --> 00:25:07

be grateful and be thankful and do our best to uphold the commands

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

and avoid the prohibitions that Allah subhanaw taala has actually

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

instituted and meaning coming upon us, not for anything that returns

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

to Him, not for any benefit that Allah will will get out of it. But

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

all the benefit goes back to us. There's not a single thing that a

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

lot asked us to do, except there has benefited benefit in it for

00:25:22 --> 00:25:25

us. And there's not a thing single thing that he asked us not to do,

00:25:25 --> 00:25:30

except that is to avoid a harm. So we're Pella harm from us. So this

00:25:30 --> 00:25:35

is the epitome of mercy. Our God is not a vengeful god, he's not a

00:25:35 --> 00:25:39

wrathful God, he's the one who said Sebata Rama to rather be that

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

my mercy precedes my wrath. So we want to

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

depend upon His mercy. And we want to be optimistic, and we want to

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

look towards the awful the clemency of God but at the same

00:25:50 --> 00:25:55

time, we should not lull ourselves into a false sense of security,

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

which would be the epitome of arrogance with Allah and think

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

that we can avoid

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

his hellfire.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:09

Just because we want that to happen and we depend on Allah's

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

mercy. So the grateful servant also will not do anything to try

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

to displease the master to displease Allah subhanaw taala.

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

So after that, he then he talks about

00:26:23 --> 00:26:30

the resurrection, our nosh our bath, so all human souls will be

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

resurrected from their graves, no matter what the disposition of the

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

bodies after death. So whether one was cremated, or whether one was

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

eaten by a great white shark, or whether you exploded in

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

an explosion, or if you're if you were

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

completely

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

destroyed by atom by atom by a nuclear bomb, it doesn't matter.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

Allah subhanaw taala always say you need to

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

come up with a weather model. Right He is the one who will bring

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

you back just like He gave you gave you life and put you together

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

to begin with. So everyone will have a resurrection, everyone will

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

be lifted from their graves and everyone then will make their way

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

towards, out and mash out towards the place where we all be

00:27:14 --> 00:27:20

gathered. So even though we may be bones, and some of the Hadith

00:27:20 --> 00:27:23

mentioned that the only thing that remains in the grave will be the

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

tail, and everything else is destroyed.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

Except for the bodies of prophets and messengers and the audience.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

So the bodies of prophets and messengers remained the same.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

This is where it will Hadith and also there is much much anecdotal

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

evidence to indicate as much that the bodies of prophets and

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

messengers and heirs the true heirs of promises are messengers

00:27:46 --> 00:27:51

that will yet that their bodies are not eaten by decomposition in

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

the grain the in their grave are low on

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

number six, the bridge or the sea rot. So the spirit is something

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

that will happen after the hush and after the reckoning the Masha.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:11

So the spirit is a bridge that extends over Hellfire from the

00:28:11 --> 00:28:14

gathering place to the ocean pond of the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam,

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

even though there's some difference of opinion about that,

00:28:17 --> 00:28:21

does it actually go to the health? Or does it go to a Caltha which

00:28:21 --> 00:28:25

extends from the house so we know that the the ocean pond or the

00:28:25 --> 00:28:29

holder of the province or send them gets its water from NodeRED

00:28:29 --> 00:28:33

Caltha which is one of the rivers in paradise, the other being

00:28:34 --> 00:28:40

said Sabine and the other two being and Neil what forgot. So two

00:28:40 --> 00:28:45

of the rivers in this dunya also have extension somehow in

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

paradise. They're the Ireland Euphrates and even for us, and

00:28:49 --> 00:28:53

also the two that are let's say indigenous to Paradise, namely

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

California and salsa.

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

So everyone

00:29:03 --> 00:29:08

traverses it, this is the Sirat it said in some of the Hadith that if

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

you were to actually just walk it, it would take you 3000 years to

00:29:12 --> 00:29:16

get across it. Most of the parliament say that it can it is

00:29:16 --> 00:29:20

as narrow as the swords edge.

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

It can be could feel that way as you're walking across it or it can

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

be as wide as will accommodate everybody depending upon one's

00:29:27 --> 00:29:32

circumstance. Again, you know, the all of the things that we're used

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

to in the dunya don't apply to the afterlife. So Newton's laws of

00:29:35 --> 00:29:38

physics are not going to have any meaning in the afterlife neither

00:29:38 --> 00:29:43

in paradise northern Hellfire nor in the beginning of the sky, so it

00:29:43 --> 00:29:46

can be narrow, and it could be wide at the same time depending

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47

upon the person who's crossing it.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

So everyone traverses it,

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

right and this bridge that extends over Hellfire from the gathering

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

place to the house. Everyone traverses. It's in some in the

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

blink of an eye in other words, the speed

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

It just blink your eye and you're already across others like a bolt

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

of lightning. Or there's like a gale force wind, some like a bird

00:30:07 --> 00:30:12

or a hawk, others like a stallion. Others will run some will walk,

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

others will crawl and some will fall and get caught on the hooks

00:30:14 --> 00:30:18

underneath it for years, they'll be stuck on the hooks underneath

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

the zero. And some of the automat say that they will cry out and say

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

well Mohammed, they will cry out for Mohamed Salah Salem seeking

00:30:24 --> 00:30:30

His intercession to get out of this very tenuous and difficult

00:30:30 --> 00:30:33

situation they find themselves in by their own doing and yet others

00:30:33 --> 00:30:36

will fall into hellfire and spend eternity there

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

while others will be emancipated by the intercession of the Prophet

00:30:40 --> 00:30:44

Muhammad SAW center. So, this will be another type of chef so the

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

chef ah the the intercession we talked about earlier is called the

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

Schiphol Ultima

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

when they these are some of the hosts Shafaq okra, he has other

00:30:52 --> 00:30:56

other intercessions that he will do. Some that will raise people in

00:30:56 --> 00:31:00

degrees in paradise some that will get people out of hellfire, and

00:31:00 --> 00:31:04

some that will get people out of this torment of the Spirit if they

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

are the ones to get hooked on the hooks underneath.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

The scale or the reason

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

the scales are experienced before the Sirat or should the scale I

00:31:21 --> 00:31:27

should say, where one's deeds are weighed, though it is a literal

00:31:27 --> 00:31:31

scale, how clearly again, not like a skill in this life. But somehow

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

it's literal. It's not just a metaphor for something. Because

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

the general principle is if we can understand something to be

00:31:37 --> 00:31:41

literal, then we understand it in a literal way.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

But we do not know its true nature.

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

According to the sounder opinion, it is one scale for all of

00:31:47 --> 00:31:50

humanity rather than a set of individual skills. This is what

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

the Amendment did the reports even though some of the elements and

00:31:53 --> 00:31:57

everyone will have their own scale. He states the solder

00:31:57 --> 00:32:00

opinion that it will be one scale that all will be weighed again,

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

Newtonian laws of physics don't apply. Everyone can have a single

00:32:04 --> 00:32:09

scale at the same time all will be applied simultaneously. It's

00:32:09 --> 00:32:13

justice is exacting and absolute, with no deviation from perfection.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

Prophets and Messengers angels and those who will enter paradise

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

without a reckoning will not be subject to the scale. So those who

00:32:19 --> 00:32:22

are not subject to the reckoning are not subject to the scale

00:32:22 --> 00:32:25

because the scale or the Muse N happens at the time of the he

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

setup or the reckoning

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

for my Bucha kita we are meaning he for so far, you have some of

00:32:31 --> 00:32:37

his seven yesira Right so whoever gets his book from the right for

00:32:37 --> 00:32:40

so for you has over a seven year zero then they will have an easy,

00:32:40 --> 00:32:44

he said it's an indication so the Kitab here Kitab al Amell that was

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

weighed in them is n

00:32:48 --> 00:32:51

number eight the ocean pond or the howled of the Prophet Muhammad SAW

00:32:51 --> 00:32:56

Selim his milky white, sweet smelling surrounded by drinking

00:32:56 --> 00:32:59

vessels all around a greater number than the stars you can't

00:32:59 --> 00:33:02

see the end of it. And whoever drinks from it will never go

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

thirsty again. There are ocean ponds wherever we profit. This was

00:33:06 --> 00:33:09

a moment of use opinion. But the greatest is that of the Prophet

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:33:14 --> 00:33:17

And then paradise and hellfire paradise in hellfire genuine not

00:33:17 --> 00:33:21

are the ultimate destinations for all of humanity. Paradise contains

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

seven levels it's highest for the dose. That's why we asked for it.

00:33:25 --> 00:33:29

For those we asked for the highest others have stated four levels, or

00:33:29 --> 00:33:32

even one level but with different names difference of opinion, but

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

the sounder one is that there are seven distinct levels.

00:33:36 --> 00:33:39

Hellfire also contains several levels but they extend downward,

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

so the highest which means the lightest in terms of torment, if

00:33:42 --> 00:33:46

that which is reserved for disobedient believers, which is

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

called Johanna, who eventually leave for Paradise as we said

00:33:49 --> 00:33:54

before, and once they all leave once the last person leaves this

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

Jahannam then this this particular part of hellfire will be no more

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

because it'll have no more use anymore. The only ones that will

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

remain will be the disbelievers will be there for eternity. Both

00:34:03 --> 00:34:07

of them both paradise and hellfire are already existing. This is the

00:34:07 --> 00:34:11

sound opinion of Arizona in an existence known only by Allah so

00:34:11 --> 00:34:15

we couldn't construct a space shuttle or craft to go on track to

00:34:15 --> 00:34:19

find paradise. It's an atom in Mallacoota in a sense that we

00:34:19 --> 00:34:20

cannot

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

we cannot know by sensory perception in this life.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:30

Other aspects just in general, one also believed must also believe in

00:34:30 --> 00:34:34

the existence of the angels. And we know about Gibreel and Myka

00:34:34 --> 00:34:37

Elan is sort of feeling rotten even attitude and mocha and

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

Nichiren not going to go into all of the different duties that they

00:34:39 --> 00:34:43

do but they do different duties for last month Allah they do not

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

have the ability to disobey Allah. So they are not going to be taken

00:34:46 --> 00:34:49

into a reckoning or herself and they are going to be also

00:34:49 --> 00:34:54

permanent dwellers of bliss and Paradise and then the jinn who are

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

like us. Shaitan is from them. So amongst the jinn

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

and they have the ability to disobey

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

They gotta obey God, the Prophet SAW Selim was sent as a prophet to

00:35:02 --> 00:35:05

them as well. And they also will have a reckoning and he said,

00:35:06 --> 00:35:07

genuinely, we can't see them.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:13

And generally, we avoid them like they avoid us. So the believers

00:35:13 --> 00:35:16

amongst them avoid the believers amongst us. It's only one

00:35:18 --> 00:35:18

the

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

viral amongst us anti viral amongst them seek to have a

00:35:22 --> 00:35:26

connection or interaction or relationship between the two.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

And I don't wanna talk too much about the jinn, it's kind of

00:35:30 --> 00:35:33

overblown, especially in our in the Muslim world, in our

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

community. And people tend to blame everything on the jinn from

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

not being able to pray to not be able to keep their will do and not

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

being able to pray or worship Allah properly. And I think we,

00:35:44 --> 00:35:49

you know, the were Muslim with Jin Jin or somehow Masoom that we

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

blame everything upon them, oftentimes it goes back to our own

00:35:51 --> 00:35:55

inaccurate inadequacies and shortcomings. So also believe in

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

the messengers all the 25 that are mentioned by name in the in the

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

Quran and also to believe that there are more than 25 that we

00:36:00 --> 00:36:04

don't know the names of, like we said before, also to believe in

00:36:04 --> 00:36:08

the LDS in general, not to think a specific person is a wealthy but

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

there are LDS that Allah has given a special sort of,

00:36:15 --> 00:36:20

sort of, you know, fussy says something special about them. They

00:36:20 --> 00:36:23

have is the karma. They are,

00:36:25 --> 00:36:29

you know, stable and, and fervent worshipers of God and daughters of

00:36:29 --> 00:36:33

God and Allah may give them some thing of what's called a color

00:36:33 --> 00:36:36

mat. Right? Something that is extraordinary. And we say the

00:36:36 --> 00:36:40

greatest extraordinary thing is that it's the karma of good karma

00:36:40 --> 00:36:43

is the karma to be upright, especially in the age that we live

00:36:43 --> 00:36:43

in.

00:36:45 --> 00:36:48

And in general to also believe all that the Prophet Muhammad SAW

00:36:48 --> 00:36:52

Santa has reported. So whatever that he has reported into sound,

00:36:52 --> 00:36:55

Hadith, or that comes from the Quran, we believe it to be true,

00:36:56 --> 00:36:59

and that he is the greatest of all creation. Salam O Allah, he was

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. So I'm going to stop there. That was

00:37:04 --> 00:37:08

a summary yet I kind of did it really in a summarized form. But I

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

just wanted to kind of complete our look at our Theta before we

00:37:11 --> 00:37:16

move on to spiritual refinement and so forth. So I see quite a

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

number of questions. Let's even get to some of them.
