Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Hamdulillah 100 People in the water can be poor so that was going to be received and mana Selena was early he was softer here. So that might lead to a lot of other character development sisters.
First of all for us due for loss of parents either that he has enabled us again to study further and gain beneficial knowledge. And I asked Eliza dilla he allows us to benefit from this day. And it serves us to increase our iman and to increase our Veda and awareness and Taqwa of Allah subhanaw taala. Secondly, I would like to thank
personally brother Asif, for allowing us to come here and facilitating all that we have here.
He has been on his team, a great help throughout the time over the past couple of months or so very patient with us. So I ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless his efforts and bless all the efforts of those who have helped him and may Allah azza wa jal will make this particular project which is an extremely important project, ie the facilities for
varying
the Muslim deceased.
Something which can expand and can provide the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu addition to our school.
So today is a good more practical as opposed to a theory.
We will discuss
what happens to the deceased we spoke about some of the issues yesterday, but today, we will talk about
what will happen when the body is going to be taken from the place of death if it's a hospital or a home and the necessary paperwork has been
established, because in this country, at least, there are laws that need to be abided by, before you bury anybody, a number of procedures need to be completed and from those is that you get confirmation with a death certificate, from the hospital from Corona and things like that there was no foul play concerning the death of that particular person, once that is all been completed. And that has its own procedure. And it has its own kind of
know knowledge if you'd like that we're not going to discuss in any great detail today. So we will assume that
when the body is bought here, and the graveyard itself cannot do anything, they can't bury anybody. Unless the paperwork is in place, they can't do anything. Even though he embodies the Sunnah of the Prophet Elijah, so I'm going to borrow it and bury them quickly. Of course, we all agree with that. However, however, we are unable to do that by the law unless you have the correct paperwork. And
there are certain organizations that can help you. And I'm sure that maybe this a place like this may give you some further information as to
what to do. Because for those who have never experienced death, or never had to help bury, or go through the process of burying a Muslim, it can be quite well, it is very difficult time or traumatic time. And you having to run from one place to the next chasing of paperwork and you're not know what not knowing what you're doing can add to the stress. So it's a good idea for us to educate ourselves as to what the actual procedure is. And as I said that this officer may be able to help. And also
there's an organization called first ethical, if you've heard of them, they do a lot of good work first ethical, they give good advice on wills, Zakka death processes, okay, and things like that. They have actually
small kind of booklets explaining all of this, they visit us before they're good brothers that trustworthy people. So, it's spelt number one S T ethical.
So, the decision is brought here. Usually that you find that there are facilities where the body will be washed.
And any one particular area whether in I think in South London, you have places like Croydon, you have Balam and you have Stretton as well. And there are some places in East London. This is the funeral services. So there's a number of stages that the body will go through. So we'll assume that the body has been released. I want to say released that the necessary paperwork has been done, that you now have permission to bury that deceased.
You will contact a funeral organization a few Funeral Parlor they will offer their services and that they will usually come to collect the body
In what you see sometimes like a private ambulance or whatever vehicle that they have to collect the body and take it to the masjid or some messengers have facilities right next to them to, to wash the body.
And when they take the body there, the body goes now, of course through a number of processes, the first one is the actual washing of the body.
Now, the washing of the body is something that, that the Prophet Sall Allahu Allahu Ellefson informed us that our father Adam Alayhis Salam
was when he passed away so then was washed by malaria. And he was quashed with cedar leafs, and then buried in Allah had this an authentic hadith from the very beginning of time, that our Father, Adam Alayhis Salam, when he passed away, was washed, shrouded and then buried in the earth. And as with our beloved Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, the first prophet and the last prophet, that they were buried in the same manner, in the same manner
likewise, as Muslims, we follow the Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad Elisa to Salaam and also the Sunnah of almost any of all the prophets and messengers who preceded him.
So what we will do in sha Allah to either is a demonstration
now
I will if I can have I would like one brother to
offer his time
it doesn't matter really who is
you all alive so it's okay
I understand that.
I'm asking you to distribute leaflets. That's an easy thing to do. But involve me actually wrapping up just a little bit for a little while.
You may not be comfortable with that. Yeah.
So this brother will
offer his time Mark Alavi bless him for his
services
Okay, so
there is
another organization
that has kindly
visited us as well for that a product from Luton, right? When you said to me Luton and another Cardiff your face came to my mind, because I thought I never met him before. And then I've lost him. But I know Luton of Luton, at least and I know of another car that must be you when I saw you this morning and I haven't been able to use your own behalf or at least working with the shroud.com Trump Muslim shout.
Brother has kindly bought some
shoutouts for us to to record it.
Spoiler alert, it's better to explain actually what's in the bag, because
you can speak into the something similar here is the Muslim shroud. Now, I don't have any connection whatsoever to this company, or the people who organizes but I'm just doing it as a favor for a friend who couldn't make it today. Insha Allah and I thought this really really person for you for all of you to know what's in this content in this whole bag of the contents because in here is basically everything you need for a janazah wash your body, everything that you probably need look you've got there, you've got it all nicely packed here together. So I just very quickly tell you what's in in Sharla if I may.
This is a male there's two packs a male pack and there's a female pack. This male pack consists of and I've actually used this on my nephew formula who just only
wants to go to the lab and this is one of the supplements that you get you've got the actual shroud two pieces of a shroud for for the men, which is in here. Also contained in there are some straps which you can use to tie at the top and tie the bottom and there's some spare straps as well for the waist or anything else you may need. So these are the components in here okay. And then you have
in this packet there is setup this agreement has been part of the setup. And as you know, you can mix it with the water and you wish to avoid the the first washing would sit up and then after you've got these other two powders here, a black one and a white one, and you had coffee as well.
And basically, you can mix these powders in the second module and third wants to give a nice scent to the to the body as well. But it's not authentically from the sooner they say that. And then he also have
some cotton wool, you've got some spare cloth, you've got a face mask as well in there. And and then you've got these, some cubes here against copper, which just just sprinkle over the coffee in order of preference on. So that's what he's got basically, everything you need here. Well, I know I tell my friends back in Luton, and further north in Keithley, is basically you know, it's good for every single one of us really, to buy one of these and keep them at home, it's in a place where we can see it. That way, it will always remind us of death, unless we purchase our own company, which we can, you know, we can say basically, this is what you're gonna, if we die here, this is what you're going
to very soon.
Me to just buy one for yourself, that's gonna have to just keep it in Sharla. Like I said, this is similar, is advisable to explain to you by learning how to wash. So that's the most frustrating shampoo to actually return now I'm outside of their state and by the table when you can have your next break. Just before
Yeah, yeah. Okay, so I'll be running Chava and it was a whirlwind. So the ladies one by the way, has got five, five pieces of cloth. So it's extra, the male ones got to otherwise everything else is essential.
And the organization was offered that wasn't pre planned for however, it is good for us to be aware of that. Okay, so the brother is going to
give us his time for us. And I will go through briefly
how you wash the deceased, how you will wash, diseased and shallow, okay.
So if you go to a place where they wash the body,
you will find it looks like a tiled area or kitchen area.
And you will have this kind of bed looking construction, which the body is placed upon.
Now the body itself will be placed on this bed, but it's not like just a flat bed. What you'll have underneath the deceased is almost like
it has holes underneath. So any water that is sprayed over the body will go and it has like a flowing system and there's like a plug at the bottom. So then the water can flow away.
They come in different forms, sometimes you find that they are grilled, there are lines. And sometimes you find that they just didn't Holtz on the whole of the metal that which is underneath the body.
So then when the body comes in,
it is important that the older must be covered. Now for the man it would be from the knees to the navel. That's his old that needs to be covered at all times at all times.
Meaning that he won't be wearing any clothes. But he has to have his our covered
the female, she will have our form ankle halfway up to the shin
up to the lower neck here. So she will have a garment like this.
But it of course will be extended over a larger area like this. So this is covered all times
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he passed away, the Sahaba were questioning and asking what do they do?
Should they remove his clothing? Should they leave the clothing on? How they will do it? Of course they had seen it and done it before with other others. However, for them, it was a big shock. And does the Prophet sallallahu Ellison have a different status? Because they knew how he should how shy he was. And he said to him, he had more hair than anybody. So to take the clothes off and who would do that? There was a number of you know, scenarios what to do. They decided in the end, that they would leave his clothing on his shirt and his and that they washed him and he said to sit down with his clothes on the closest relatives and Favell abbess, an ally and silence, who was one of the
servants of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they washed Rasulullah sallallahu Amosun
otherwise it will be
the clothing will be removed for the male and the female but that overlap must be covered.
So what happens now? We have the hadith of
or the description of the year about the Allahu anha when the daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam passed away Xena
and they will ask him questions to the Prophet sallallahu. It wasn't my hands to how to, to wash her. Now, the Prophet alayhi salam, on this occasion described how they would do it. So the women, they would wash the women, and the men would wash the men, those who are closest in terms of relatives would have the most right, those who are closest to that deceased in terms of relation, then they would have the most right. As for females, then as the Mothers of the Believers about the Aloha state, that who has the right to watch the women, those who were permitted to see them in their life when they were alive are permitted to, to wash them. So a non Muslim man, for example, is
not permitted to participate in the washing of a female, that he is not related to or not permissible to see her in when she is alive. So that's very important. If however, that some of the relatives that for whatever reason, that they don't want to participate, whether they have insurance, they want to designate and choose another person, then then they can
also it is important to
remind yourself that this is a deceased person, just most of life person, that they may see things, they may have never come in contact with a dead person before.
So, they may see things that they have not seen before.
So therefore, it is of the utmost importance, that whatever a person sees, during the process of the hosel, that they do not share that with anyone.
There may be things which may seem a little difficult for you to see.
You may see signs, you may see many things but you don't tell anybody about that. You keep that to yourself.
It is not that one time that you're asked to give a Deus you guys to give her a you know, a small more either admonition to you know, some people in your caught on the hop and you think, okay, I'll talk about that person. And I Subhanallah you know, I saw a person and they had this and they had that it was really scary. You should fear Allah, you should fear death. No, he's not permitted for you to, to share any information or anything that you would see.
So just as the living or giving rights and respect the dead also the dog also, because maybe the body has died as passed away, but their soul is there. And as the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam informed us about when treating the deceased, that we are prohibited from breaking the bones for example, because breaking the bones to the dead is like breaking the bones when they are a life. So we need to treat the deceased in a respectful manner.
So the Hadith of the year, in the washing of the daughter of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam represents a foundation represents a starting point for us in how to wash a deceased. Likewise, the hustle and the shouting of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam represents an also an origin for us in how to to wash and shroud
a Muslim as well.
So the voting will come and it will be placed on a table like this. And what you will begin with
is that the
facilities there
that you are able to have a showerhead. If you don't have a shower, that they may have a tap with a bucket and then use a smaller cup of bucket to to use to wash the body.
Most places have a showerhead because it makes things a little bit easier.
Now to begin with what you're going to do, and
I had it up actually,
but you know what happens to a dead body.
I that when the heart stops, and then everything finishes that within five to seven minutes, the old cells in your brain that they are dead.
Between five and seven minutes all the cells in your brain that they are dead, no oxygen is being pushed around your body in the blood anymore. The heart is not pumping any oxygen around your body anymore. Therefore, you will see a color change in the body.
So you will find that pools of blood that still remain in the body, the blood isn't moving around. Some places will have more blood than others. So you may find then that the person starts to look very pale, because blood is not being pushed around the body anymore. It starts to sink. You may find some patches on the body where it is darker than others because blood is pooling in that area.
The body begins now to decompose.
If you have
I'm sure you have if you buy a pig, if you go to the butcher, for example, you need a piece by piece of meat and you leave it out of the fridge
given for a number of hours it begins to decompose, begins to rot. And that is what will happen to us. When we are put in the grave.
Essentially,
you find that when the there's a breaking down with the cells,
that gases are produced within the body,
that your stomach will inflate.
And that you will then
it's more descriptive, but you can imagine, you then become part of the round eventually.
This is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us to be quick with the janazah not to delay
because if it is a righteous soul, a righteous person, then it is their right to be placed in in somewhere which is good for them. And if it is a bad so then it is somebody whom you can remove from your necks, you get rid of that
wicked or evil or unrighteous person.
Whatever the case is to disrobe in journalism, or build journalists be quick with the funeral at all stages, as I mentioned yesterday, is not just when you get the body that you're rushing, when you reach here just to be quickly to various but at all stages. So for example, at the washing stage, there's not a long three, four or five hour ceremony in Washington, it is done correctly. But quickly.
So when the body comes, it is likely that rigor mortis has set in rigor mortis is something when the body begins to stiffen,
the body begins to stiffen.
So
some of these issues about what to do now, some of them are if you like HD head,
somebody's made their own reasoning to make the process easier. There are certain aspects of the hosel surgery.
There are certain things
throughout the process that we are to adhere to, whether you're going to watch three, five or seven times that you perform the walk, you begin on the right, and then you go on the left, okay, and you do things like just adding perfume using come from using scissor lifts. But other things you may find from one place to the next, they may differ
pretty much that they would all agree is that when the body comes, that they place them on the table, and they cover their own,
this being a male, the couple that are
then usually the first thing that they will do is that they will because it is no members of family, or whoever is there and the person who's taking responsibility for for the whistle
that they will get the body
they will just raise the body slightly like this, hold him here.
And they will the stomach just lightly push, not too hard, but lightly push. Why? Because that anything which is remaining within the bowels will be removed.
Because when you go through the process of the hosel and the performing the work, you don't want something to come out which would nullify that. So therefore, you need to ensure that anything that they remove remnants there will be removed. So once that has been done, and sometimes because you're going to be washing the body, because brick and mortars are set in that then you just make it the joint and you just move it in one or 234 times just to loosen the joint and then you will do this at the joints, okay. So you will get the leg and then you raise it and you're good to go. You can do this and his feet like this, just the joints you will move them just to loosen so that when you're
moving the body it is easier for you to wash them because they will be quite stiff.
So, once that has been done, and the design of the tables that any formula or anything that has been released from the boughs will be there it is to use the showerhead to to then wash. Now the person who's taking main responsibility for the washing will have something like a cloth or a sponge.
You have to ensure that there is no direct contact between you and the deceased skin to skin while washing them the older that is so the person will have some form of rap again, what does it look like? What should it look like? Nothing was specified to us. So it is us to use our common sense or what is available to us to use. It may be a longer sponge. It may be a piece of cloth which you hold an extents
Now, that when that happens, that the legs are slightly apart like this after you raise them up, okay. And then with the showerhead, you will wash the area, okay, you will ensure that all those anything that has been released by the body is then washed away
it is things like this, which you don't do every day, which within yourself because you may have seen this person as a righteous person
or normal person, but you are now seeing them in a state which you have never seen them before. So, to see something which exits may be difficult for you to see, but is a reality,
it is a reality. So the body is then with the showerhead wash that area, and with normal soap with a normal soap, but the whole body is washed.
Okay, what you will do is that you will wash the tarp, and then you will get
someone to help you, you place the arm here, okay, then you can move it like this, you get this leg, it's easier to turn. And that you do that and you turn them on the side, ensuring that they are covered at all times now. And then the right side of the body can be washed with soap.
Okay, ensuring that if there's any
touching with the our area that there is a sponge, there's no direct contact,
and then the whole body is washed on the right side and then is placed back with this. And then likewise, the left side over you put the left side over, and then you do the same
after this is done, you will then you have to ensure that when you are you're washing that no water goes inside the nostril inside the mouth, the eyes are closed, okay, the eyes are closed, the nostrils are you don't have anything mix them no water goes in there. So be very careful you want to wash the wash their hair is fine. Okay use shampoo or soap, things like that the very beginning as the first washing that's fine.
Then, as the prophet Elissa sort of informed us that there is three times five times or seven times the washing, the washing of the body here
will be with Matt on setup. Now I won't open it but
the this green which is originally a leaf, it's called a lotus leaf in English
this leaf is then crushed
you put it in the water as a fragrance.
You put this in the water and you will use this it's usually put in a bucket because it is not going to come out of the hose the hose is coming from the mains. So therefore this says that is placed in the bucket. And before you start washing, we will perform although on the deceased will perform just as you perform widow on the living person. So what you will do is that you will wash their hands, okay ensuring that all between the fingers, they are washed with water, normal water and then they're unable to rinse their mouth, but unable to inhale and exhale the water. So, washing the face is sufficient
and according to many of the elements that the washing or the rinsing with the mouth and nostrils is not an essential part it is something recommended. So, it is not as though that you're not performing properly you are
so you will wash the face ensuring that no extra water is going into the nostril.
So, you perform will go on that person
as you would do a will look for Salah some, some delay the washing of the feet to the very end. This is because there is a difference of understanding concerning the hustle of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam.
Now there is the hadith of Maimunah which is both haughty and Muslim. And there is also the hadith of Aisha Nadia liner.
Both of these Sahaba yet not the Allah on Houma describe the hustle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it could be and can be understood that the washing of the feet while you're performing also the washing of the feet can be delayed. At the very end, it can also be understood that there were washing of the feet is done as you perform although and that you don't delay until the end. If one does one or the other. Both are acceptable interpretations of
the ahaadeeth. So if one does this or does that it is fine
after you have performed
on the deceased, because now you're going to be washing the body. You may find that you want to place some cotton wool, so to ensure that no water goes into the body and then nostril, maybe there's a discharge from the nostril. So you place something maybe blood come
was up for lunch just so, you had to place some cotton wool there to ensure that nothing goes in and nothing comes up you can do that
even a cadaver for example, that I have not Allah in his book from the time, he suggests that after you have done that first washing
and you have removed that what is if there is anything in the bowels, there may be nothing there at all.
But if an after that is done, then you can place some cotton wool to their place of exit to ensure that nothing else will then come out.
Again, ensuring there was no exposure of Allah
just as you imagine that you are alive and somebody as an adult and that somebody was watching you, you wouldn't want your our to be exposed at any time.
Likewise, you will treat the deceased exactly the same that they would be they wouldn't want themselves to be exposed in any way.
So therefore, you will treat them exactly the same.
So you have performed with all on the deceased
then you will have the bucket of SIDS of water syndrome.
And it is this bucket where you get usually a smaller cup that you will wash the right side of the body. Again, you want to do the back as well it's and you will see the person who is experienced in doing this far more experienced than life, they replace the hand like this, and they'll pull the leg like that so it's easy to turn the body over. Okay, it's natural for you to push and then you will wash the body ensuring that all is covered using the set of water. You will do that 335 Or seven times the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said to us that you will make the last washing with camphor CAFO which is a product this this
must have opened with a single smell but maybe you can smell it from the outside
you can
just about smell it. If you just take it just pass it around
it smells like multiple topics.
Okay.
The last washing will be with this. The last question and here's an odd number three 5% Whatever is necessary to wash the body is it better three is a better five to seven. It depends on the house it depends on the need.
So you make sure that this last washing as is in the Hadith of the year, I suggest that you read the Hadith of the year about the Allahu Anhu in the washing of the daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu is and the prophet Elisha did not participate directly did not participate directly in the washing of his own daughter Xena what are the Align but he and they will ask him questions and they he was directing them what to do.
So the last washing has been done with camera
then it is also permitted to use a perfume. Even Kodama Rahim Allah mentioned to place perfume at the joints to place a perfume at the joints if you have some form of misc or something like that. Then you can do that at the joints, the knees and ankles. Okay, shoulders, elbows, okay, can place perfume he even says the himolla to place some perfume on the face, but many of their muscles don't place that on the face.
After that is done that you have washed the body a number of times.
And
you the last time you deal with comfort you can see it has a particular smell
you have completed
the body's way of being washed
and in a state of limbo and awesome being ready to to be buried.
Now, a meal is to be shrouded in three garments and a female five garments.
The male
will have
the first garment which
essentially is called a nice like a shirt not a shirt that has arms because you don't bury them in these like things that has almost but it has a garment that
halfway through the garment it has like a hole hole and then you lift that if you can imagine all over the
body over their head would come up through that hole. You can imagine that yes, a garment here halfway underneath his body, and then pull that garment over his head like this, there's a hole halfway through the garment, and then their head would be exposed. And they will come down usually past that area, then after that, because that dominant comes down this far, you remove this
piece of cloth that covers the odor. Now the cloth that you're going to use, which is covering the odor, a number of issues. Number one is that if you're going to use like some thin white garment, which one it comes with become see through then that's not, that's not suitable. So therefore, you'd use a garment that when it becomes wet, doesn't become transparent, or doesn't become a you can see just about through, but it's thick enough or a dark color, so that you don't see what is going on on or you don't see what is underneath that.
So once that garment is then after he's been of course he's dried,
enjoy him perhaps enjoy
that that God is placed over, then this what was covering the older because they're not covered can be removed, okay.
Then you have two more, because the men or the man male is buried in three, so you have that first garment and then you will have the second so from the right side, you will pull it over like this.
So you put it over like this
that's one.
So then the body now is covered in three garments.
After the body is covered like this, you will have
some something like this material, but in long, thin strips, long thin strips that you would have to tie. Okay, here, one of the feet,
one in the midsection, and one here along the shoulder.
When you tie them, you're trying to send to the tricky side.
Don't put it too tight, squeezes them, the purpose of the tying is just so that this thing, the shroud doesn't pop open.
Once this is done, so you have one here, one in the midsection and one here. You might not want to do this immediately. Because there may be people who want to see the face of the disease which is permissible.
It's not a cultural issue that once the person has deceased
that you may want to see them. So tying up straightaway now is going to be undoing and things like that. So you're not doing that until the very last moment if you'd like, but it is tied here.
So a person wants to see the deceased. And as we know that the Prophet alayhi salatu salam wanted to see the commander with them on their own, or the Alon, and he kissed him and shed tears upon seeing him. Abu Bakr, Siddiq Rhodiola Han upon seeing the prophet and he says, I'm going to see him You can see him between his two eyes. So that is permissible.
As with a woman before, likewise, only those who are permitted to see her in her life, likewise will be the same when she has passed away.
So then this is the person has been washed, the person has now been shrouded, and is now ready to be taken to the graveyard
to be buried. Now you may find that after this stage has been done, that the choice of where you're going to pray the janazah will be made. Whether it is in the same Masjid where we just connected to the funeral services, sometimes there are that the family would like a bigger masjid for people to attend. Or in fact, that if they if it doesn't happen in there that they do at the graveyard, then that is also permitted. So
an agreement is made is that where they're going to prove the Janaza which we described yesterday and we can explain how that is done.
And then
that is essentially it basically saw
in a concise manner, how to wash and how to shroud over the nav so some extras. The Covenant itself may be perfumed. If that is what you want. You can perfume the cuff and with Bohol with some perfume
If for example that the person wants to wash it with his hands, I'm believing that there is some special thing was absent and there is not, there's no basis for that.
But maybe there's a rosewater that has a smell, which is a nice smell for the cup. And
then that is also permitted.
You'll see many similarities in that on the day of Joomla, or the day of Eid, or any special day for you, as a believer that you will, when you when you go into the State of Iran, when the Prophet sallallahu Addison was about to enter MCC he raised and taught us to perform versus to wash ourselves to purify ourselves
was when you're in a state of Iran that you want with a few. However, on the day of eat, on the table drama, you wear your best clothes, good clothes, and you wear perfume for the meals that is of course not the women.
And likewise, when the person has passed away, they will still have these beautiful sunnah, that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam taught us that they are washed, and that they are perfumed. And that they are shrouded in white, preferably, it's not a condition, but preferably three shelves like this.
Now a woman, as I mentioned, has five, how will that differ, she will have what is like a small little QR, or scarf, whatever you want to call it, overhead here. And we'll have one going overhead just as well around the betrifft. So that's five.
So you will find that Islam honors the living, and honors the debt as well as though that there was no difference between the two Subhanallah as though there was no difference between the two, that the person who is able to do it themselves, then they do that themselves by having muscle and perfume and the like.
But the person who is unable to do it for themselves, then our brotherhood or sisterhood in you know, requires that we do that for them so that they can meet what they're going to meet in the grave. And that throughout the time we as we will mentioned shortly
that there are certain things that you will say, when you are allowing the body into the grave Bismillah Alhamdulillah T rasool Allah, in the name of Allah, upon the way upon the religion of the messenger of allah sallallahu.
And then when you are walking away, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that now that person of the deceased is being asked for a little bittersweet,
asked that he remains steadfast for us.
Because now he or she is going to be questioned in the grave. So throughout the time, that you are physically helping them and doing things for them, and likewise, that you are saying things asking for McPhee or asking for mercy for the deceased.
Now, as I mentioned yesterday, that it's such a sensitive time, at a difficult time, traumatic time, that the person themselves may feel compelled, or may feel as though that they want to do things to to make things easier or to do more.
As I mentioned, and I'll say it again.
And this is a principle that you take in any act of worship. Don't ever think or believe that you will do something
or that you can achieve a closeness to Allah azza wa jal or do you improve, you can improve a method or way of worship.
That what the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam didn't show us
if he didn't show us how to worship Allah as it was an in this way. Don't do it.
Don't ever think that you are what I think should be done this way. Therefore, when we are all here, and we're going to all get our must have simple and before if this was good for us or good for the deceased, we would have been told about it. We would have been shown that it is not for us to take aspects of the deen, which in their own right, or noble recitation of Quran every letter I should have on earth is 10 100 for the one who's reading, but for us to come here and we're joining bits together, just like level will be no bits of a guide and bring them together. It doesn't work like this. It doesn't work like this. A bar that is not just the way that you're doing it. It is the
possibly the place that you're doing it.
For example, do you perform tawaf anywhere else on this earth? No, you only perform
talk around the cabin. So a bird that may be specific to a place a bird there may be specific to a particular time
when you perform Hajj to perform Arjun Muharram, Hajj, or suffer when it's not so busy, how just how much
do you perform soccer football a little bit early, but 930 in the morning because of a work in the afternoon,
the specific times for that, and also in the method in the way that you are going to perform the event. These are very important principles for us. And especially when it is we are affected like this.
And you may be affected, because when you go to see where people are buried, and then maybe you see the age of that person, six months old,
or seven years old, you think Subhanallah I have a child who's that age, who's eight years old, 10 years old, or I have a brother who's 20 years old, or my cousin is that age, you will find people of that age who have passed away and that they will be buried, this may be a shock to you. This you will feel a difference.
And even the prophet Ali said, Sir, when he used to come to the graveyard, that he would behave in a different manner.
It is not no we will walk out there, big chested, and we're talking about dunya things. I'm having jokes No, this is not the place for that.
The prophets of Allah ism told us that when you go to the graveyard, you are to go there and it is a reminder, it is a reminder for death. It is a reminder for the inevitable
that washing a deceased if you have never done it before
will change you
will change your outlook on many things.
It may be difficult for us to, to do that. However, it is a communal obligation is affordable keyfile. Throughout all the stages of this, for the deceased are deceased, and they are ours. They are brothers and our sisters, that they need to be taken care of.
That there must be a portion or a percentage of the Muslims a number of them who will take care and be responsible for this.
So for those brothers and those sisters as well.
And that they are not many, I will tell you that they are not many of them.
I ask us about Allah because I asked Allah Subhana Allah to bless them, to have mercy upon them to bless their families, because there are many times when they get called at all hours of the morning.
all hours of the night. Brothers Sisters who take care of places like this is not just tend to for nine to five and I'm going home, they receive calls 24 hours, their lives, to some extent are disrupted greatly. But they do that for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala they seek allies of judgment watch for that. So don't forget those brothers and those sisters as well because there's women focus to participate in in the washing of the bodies as well.
Ask Allah azza wa jal reward and ask Allah Subhana Allah to keep them firm and to spread and to do things correctly. That's very important as well, to keep up the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and those who do such noble efforts, I'm sure that they are always in contact with people of knowledge, to address them, to speak to them to advise them, and how to do their their job. Yes, their job. They may have been doing it for many years.
But always you may find there's a circumstance or something that they've not come across before. So Allah subhanaw taala tells us first degree in controllata element as the people of knowledge, and if you don't know, so, I would say that along all of these processes, always adhering to the guidance of our beloved Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is paramount. And in that adhering to that, you will find that there was a bollock that there was a blessing, and that there was an ease for everyone at every stage. And the further that you will go away from the sooner the more that you will find that there was still effort that there are differences, that you find that this and you somehow that is
not a Baraka in the time and the way things are being done, and people are arguing, adhering to what the prophet originally taught us and showed us without any doubt is best and adhering men keeping it simple. Keeping it simple, and you will find that throughout the process, it is very simple. And it is important at times to draw parallels to see the examples between certain Eva that Subhanallah
The MaxxAudio objective behind it, if it can be understood, like the example of when the person is the male making haram, going into the state of Islam, two simple white garments, when the person is going to be
buried, three simple white garments, nothing fancy, nothing plush, nothing outstanding. I mean, I've seen those people who misunderstand.
I've seen pictures of some grapes, where the grave itself is like they have placed the most
exquisite room that you can find, and that they placed it in the ground, with a bed, and with pictures, and with all on them. It's
the most expensive Casket or coffin that you can imagine.
They have tried to transfer this worldly life and place it in the air from a person who has been deceived, and doesn't understand will do things like that. But as we know, we came from the earth, and we were returned to the earth
couldn't come in Adam, we're assuming
that all of you are from Adam and Adam. And he said he was from Toronto. And we are likewise. We see ourselves, skin flesh.
We see movement we see Holika we see life we see enjoyment we see many things.
But this is a reality.
This is a reality.
And participating in things like this and going to the grave, right especially with coral higher than that. Remember, the destroyer of all pleasures. Just remember those three words. Three words in Arabic at least, remember the destroyer of all pleasures six months.
Guess
that no matter how rich you are, no matter what you have the best specialist specialists, consultants, doctors.
Life is big in life is in the hands of Allah Allah, not in the hands of any human being.
And remember that even if you think you can prepare, or do the best that you can to have a long life. If Allah azza wa jal decrees that you will have a short life, that your lifespan will be that then it will be that
and no physician, doctor or specialist consultant on this earth will be able to do anything to keep your soul in your body.
Because that is what happens at the time of death. That is your soul, that leaves your body. And when your soul leaves your body,
that is the end, no doctor can place the soul back in the body.
No consultant, no email, no shape, no one can return that soul to your body,
that we will have one death in this life.
But the death in this life doesn't is not the end of anything.
Rather, it is the beginning of the eternal journey.
It is the beginning of the return journey, we go through a number of stages in our existence.
Before we came into existence in our bodily form now,
when our souls were created, and they were taken out of the back of Adam Alayhis Salam, every single one of us
believer and disbeliever testified that there was not worthy of worship except Allah subhanaw taala.
And then we came into existence in this life.
We came in this life,
very weak, very weak, very needy,
needing to be fed, needing to be clothed, needing to be cleaned. We we came into this earth like this every single human being. Even the leaders, the champions, the kings of this earth, began like that.
But at some point in any one of all of our lives exist on this earth, a time came when that person believed or believes they are in no need of anything anymore. But I don't need to listen to anybody. I don't need help. I have become independent in time.
Some of the set of some of the righteous predecessors because whether you know it or not,
Allah subhanaw taala is helping you every single second of the day.
The reason that your heart beats you can put it in this one you know, and you know
Allah subhanaw taala gives us examples in the Quran, no leaf falls from the tree in the yard, except that ALLAH has been noticed and is decreed. No leaf. No creature, no ant crawls along the earth except Bethany love.
Your heart doesn't beat another beat, except with an Allah.
And how many times does it beat?
If you imagine it is what between 60 to 80 beats a minute,
depending on our health healthy
every minute
that your heart is beating and your heart doesn't meet, except
you don't reach the next salah. You don't reach your next appointment you don't reach next day, except by Allah allows that for you.
So the righteous predecessors, they would have an equal pay and Rahim Allah He mentioned this. He said that there were people who would feel
so much fear
that if Allah azza wa jal would leave them or not help them for the blinking of an eye.
Because they realize that I was just helping me 24/7 All the time, I don't exist, except that ALLAH is whatever gives me the biggest permission, but I exist. If there was a blinking of an eye that Allah did not help me, what would happen to me?
What would be of my existence and where would I go? What would I do?
So throughout this existence that we have, coming into this life has nothing.
Knowing nothing
as Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the media that we come into this earth letter Allah Munna shader that you don't know anything. And that Allah subhanaw taala still gives you something. And in the end, why am I ot two minute Illa Calida.
And even in the end, Allah subhanaw taala says that, you will still only given a small, tiny piece of knowledge.
But that person became arrogant. That person became bigger than themselves. And they thought that this knowledge that I have, and I have become powerful, and I have become arrogant, and then it becomes oppressive.
And Allah subhanaw taala allows these people to live.
Allah is what allows these people to exist on this earth that we take
that we take lesson from now. We take lesson from I don't want to be like that person. If we were all like angels, never seen him on this earth. We would know we would never know what moon or Eva is.
But the fact is that living on this earth, there is a test. There is the good, there is the bad. There is the righteous, the unrighteous, we're able to see Allah Subhan Allah says, Don't be like this. This is how you should be. Be like the prophets be like the righteous be like those who are servants to Allah subhana Don't be like these evil people.
Under these evil people, Allah azza wa jal delays their existence on this earth, so that because they have turned away from Allah, because they have disobeyed Allah, that their punishment will be even greater.
Because the first time that they've done any evil, that they were taken, the arrogant and evil person
whom Allah's would have sealed their heart, because they had rejected Allah and that they would never turn to allies, which is by their choice.
If they were to have an early life,
they wouldn't have another 50 years of corruption and accumulating sin, so that their punishment would be more severe in the hereafter.
So Allah is often delays these people so that their punishment is more severe in the Hereafter, and don't be deceived. And don't think
that a person lives on this earth because they are given so many blessings and money and wealth, that that's allows them to rewarding them, maybe, that this is Allah subhanaw taala giving them tests of the tests, which that they are continually failing, that they are ungrateful.
That they do not turn to Allah subhanaw taala with these blessings that Allah azza wa jal has given them. So then they will when they meet Allah, that they will be unable to speak.
They will be unable to defend themselves.
No money they can ransom for themselves.
But what will happen? their hands, their feet
will spin
against them,
that they did this and they did.
All those things, all those things that that person used to do in secret
that they they never repented from,
that they thought nobody saw.
They will all be there said in front of you, and that you'll be able to say nothing.
How shameful that would be in this life.
Those sins that we commit, that we think nobody sees nobody records.
They will be all brought out in front of you.
Can you imagine the regret and the shame
that you would have on that day? When you can't say anything, you can't change anything, you can't ransom anything, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing.
And then, based upon that Allah subhanaw taala will decide
either that you will be punished or that you will be forgiven.
Madam Toshi, as long as you do not commit your
shirt will never be given other sins, Allah subhanaw taala me forgive.
ALLAH has come to Allah may forgive that your favorite medulla Delica, Ma sha,
Allah spamming forgive anything below schicke to whom he wills, subhanaw taala. But that's not what you're going to say well, you know, maybe allowed Forgive me if I involve myself in all of this.
So, the button sisters for a reminder for us all that to remind ourselves of death is a reality. And that you prepare yourselves the best that you can. So that when you meet Allah,
it is a day that you are happy.
It is a day of regret.
Not a day of, of with wishing or ifs and buts that I should have done that and I was told, and I was shown, I didn't want to listen.
But it is a day that as Allah subhanaw taala he says
in the Quran, in Alladhina Paulo Bula from Mr. Calm, but those who say My Lord is Allah,
and that they then remember for remain firm, Tatiana, Zulu Ali and will matter at the time of death, as many of them refer Sirona they say that the angels angels, they will come to them.
And let Hafele what does
that do not be afraid and do not grieve?
What Urbis you will generate in that you continue to Adam, but rather there are good Glad Tidings good news for you for the for the agenda, that you were promised.
That you will have Mother's Day and for so cool, that you will have that what your own souls, what your own desires, what they want, whatever you want, whatever you desire for while comfy, hammer down, and whatever you want, you can have no solo minha folders laheem

These Ayat immediately comes after that you know what comes after that a woman has no problem in mind, you know,
what I mean? asadi I will call in anyone
who is better in speech, Allah has given you this promise, this word, this will happen to the believers.
Who is better in speech, I there is no one better in speech, who believes in Allah
Who does righteous actions and just says, I am a servant, I am one who submits and I am a Muslim.
There is no better speech than that.
Very simple, very straightforward, that while you are in this dunya you're a servant of Allah.
You're a slave of Allah.
You don't follow or you're not a slave of any human being.
Ultimately, you are answerable to the one and only.
That is not good either.
Because when the real timing comes that you're going to be asked
when it is said to all of those people who
who used to be proud, who used to be oppressive and not fair.
They will stand there just like you with no clothes on. Nothing.
The eyeshadow, the yellow and yellow suit a lot. People will be like this.
The prophets of Allah who hasn't said that the day is greater than that. It is greater than you can imagine.
Believe me, you're not going to be thinking about
what it is said to those
People leave money in Malecon Young.

Linda, ha ha, ha ha, it belongs to Allah, there is a struggle.
So times like this brothers and sisters, remember your need remember when you become sick, when you become sick, when you become needy, who kills you with a motto for your shield, Ibrahim Ibrahim alayhi salam, when I become sick, it is He is the one who kills me, not the medicine. It is Allah who kills me.
It is the Allah is Allah is the One Who protects me. And if I serve Him,
if I submit to Him, then He will love his event. Allah subhanaw taala will love his servant.
And I hope and I have hope in Allah subhanaw taala that I am from his a bad sign that I am from his righteous service, and that there will be no fear and no grieving. When Elijah Nuada sins, the angel to take my soul because the soul will be taken easy. Because I'm a believing soul. I have a submitting soul. I do not have an arrogant soul. I am an arrogant person. I am not an evil person. I have mistakes. But when I have my mistakes, I ask Allah Allah Allah to forgive me.
What what verse say it it hasn't turned out?
That whenever you do a bad deed and we do bad deeds followed up with a good deed.
What have we omen to Jonah fee Illa then you should fear the day that you will return to Allah.
And as many of them have of zero and this is sort of a Bacara. So this is from maybe the last Revelation,
the last revelation maybe days before the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away, fear the day that you will return to Allah. If somebody does wrong to you, you tell them it Tapachula fear Allah.
You say to yourself, I should fear Allah, because Allah subhanaw taala will only accept from the majority. If you want acceptance in your deeds, acceptance in your statements in your sayings. pray to Allah, that he makes you from the pain because Allah azza wa jal will only acceptable if you're not from them, Allah genuine won't accept for him in the mouth of Kabbalah minimum talking Allah as he will only accept from Turkey
so here we will stop Ajanta
May Allah subhanaw taala give us the that in this life and in the Hereafter?
May Allah subhanaw taala give us a call a fair bit, a steadfast statement at the time of our deaths and may Allah subhanaw taala protect us from any form of deviation because any form of deviation will lead us to hellfire.
