Hereafter Series #3

Bucha

Miller Rahman Al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen

wa Salatu was Salam wa ala should have for them via he will say did mostly you know either early he was hobby he Jemaine Sarah Marie kumara Komarov into law he what what occurred to my dear brothers.

So the topic is

the journey of the Hereafter.

And last month, we didn't have a lesson, but prior to that there were two previous lessons.

And just as a recap very quickly,

we spoke about

what happens at the time of death, what happens to the soul, the journey it takes, and what we should or what take we should have or preparation we should have as Muslims

in preparation for death, the inevitable for everyone that nobody has saved from death.

And there is a lot of things we mentioned not time to go through that now. We have two lessons left I think this one today, and inshallah Tada. Next month, we may go into January a low item.

So the next topic we want to speak about today in sha Allah to Allah

is something which many of us maybe don't understand the reality of. And it is a matter of, for us at least part of allied part of the unseen meaning, or one of the principles attached to matters of the unseen and bearing in mind that I'll EMA and will be laid or Imani and that unseen is one of the first things that are mentioned at the very beginning of the Quran, Surah Al Baqarah, a lady you know, you may know and Beloit.

So, this is a very important topic for us to understand.

And if one isn't guided with principles correctly, then you may find the person wants to your loved ones to make up things make up assumptions concerning the labor the unseen, which then leads them into two problems.

So therefore, it is important for us to follow the guidelines concerning matters of the unseen and one of the most important matters when talking about the unseen is that we are restricted to understanding the unseen by that what Allah Allah Allah told us in the Quran, and that what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us about it has no place for he had had knowledge that is not for us to think, well I think this and I think that and then you go off on a tangent.

So with regards to the soul,

the rule or the neffs?

What is the reality of this, that this is something Allah Allah Allah mentions in the Quran, I do want to kind of rule and they asked you about the soul, say it is a matter of your load. And with regards to this one, my ot terminal ilmi Illa kalila that you've only been given a small amount of knowledge. So when talking about this and Charlottetown it's essential that we adhere to these principles.

Okay, so, questions about guru

does it have a shape?

Does it have a tangible you can touch it, does it exist out of the body is a are you and your body and the soul? Is it one thing or are they two separate things? Okay, these are very important questions for us.

So, what about the term that all heard the word rule or the word knifes, they mean the same thing or do they have separate meanings? These are some of the things that inshallah Tata will go through.

What we will say is that drew and the knifes can mean one the same thing. It can mean one and the same thing. And it can also mean two entirely different things. So at times and on occasions in the Quran, the word rule is referring to an angel Jibreel Alehissalaam is not talking about the soul of anybody, roe is talking about one of the angels. So again, one of the guiding principles is that the context of the sentence, or more appropriately, the content context of the area, or that hadith will give us or determine the topic that we're talking about. Okay. So the topic or will, the meaning of the sentence will define the meaning of that particular word.

So, what we will say for our purpose here now is that we're talking about the soul of human being the rule of a human or the knifes of human being. We're not talking about an Eman Obaidullah, we're not talking about the angels or the human Salah to say

them

so even Tamia Rahim Allah Allah he says that the words Rohan knifes both carry number of meanings. As we just mentioned, the rule the word rule may refer to the air that leaves the body when you're speaking rule. Okay, we wind as well as a different way of saying the word.

Also, the word knifes can have the meaning knifes or shade, meaning the same thing. What knifes it's not referring to at all at all the soul is referring to a completely different topic completely when you say knifes or shade that's translated into English meaning the same thing. So we're not talking about the subject of the soul at all.

Again, nessa lobby Hill Ruhul Amin, which the trustworthy guru was the one who brought it down. This is a verse is talking about the word roar, the angel Jibreel Allah SLM.

So these are some examples, that the word rule on us is to be understood, depending on what topic we are talking about.

Okay, now the soul and we will say the soul because it's an all encompassing word for us. At least this is what we're going to use, which will include raw knifes is made from what it's made from a substance that has no comparison that we can judge it by. Okay, you're not gonna you're not gonna say it's made from dust?

You're not gonna say it's made from any plastic? Why do you think that? You know, because we don't know.

Because we don't know what the soul was created from, but we know that of course, the soul was created.

So it is has characteristics, which are different from anything that we know, on this earth.

Is the soul separate from your body?

Or is it one of the same thing? Do you have a body and soul and they can't be separated? Or are they two separate things? It's important question.

So there are and we don't want to go into differences of opinion about what you know some misguided groups that they went into whether it's one or two or three or separated on different certain six you know situations, but what we will say is that they are two, but part of the one being, they have their own existence, and that the soul may be taken from the body. And this is proved as we mentioned, in the Hadith Allah no as IP, in which the Prophet sallallahu Sallam described the journey of the soul that when the person dies, the soul is taken from the body.

So it belongs to that same person, but they are two separate entities, okay. They are two separate entities. And there are many verses in the Quran, which support this

where Allah subhanaw taala mentions in

Surah two out of

or even not sort of our surah

and find certain unfed, we're illogical Allison understand the meaning. And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve that they smite their faces and their backs, I'm using evidence to say that the angels are removing the soul, just as Allah subhanaw taala tells us in surah 12 and the sixth chapter of the Quran that the melodica that they stretching forth their hands, our credo and fullcycle

souls come out taking the souls away from the body. So these are some evidences and many evidences in the Koran concerning the soul, that it is taken out of the body that they can be separated.

Okay, this is the first one with regards to the the soul and the body. Are they two separate things? The answer is what

are they two separate things or not? They are yes.

Is anyone in doubt about that?

Okay, you can respond to Charlotte Turner. Hello to respond to forgive your question. Is the body separate? can the soul be separated from the body? Yes or no? Montez Okay. Okay. The rule the soul,

was it created? Does it have a beginning? And does it have an end?

Because we know that our physical bodies well they have an end, absolutely, that you will die the body will die, the body will die will be buried and it will become dust become nothing ill you know, become part of the earth that will disintegrate and become nothing.

Then there was the remaining the soul. What happens to the soul was the soul created absolutely was had the beginning. The soul had a beginning. Again check out Islam within the fimea Rahim Allah Tada. He says that the human soul is created according to the consensus of the ummah. There is an agreement of all the scholars that the soul was created this the position

of Arizona.

Okay, does the soul die? Another question? Does the soul does it die?

So we know that the body will die, does the soul die?

Here we need to understand

the verse that I mentioned just previously,

when Allah subhanaw taala commands the angels to take the souls out of the body and the believing souls, that they will face reward from Allah subhanaw taala, disbelieving souls may face punishment from Allah subhanaw taala. So when the body dies, we know that the soul goes on a journey.

And this is a living soul. It is a living soul and will go on this journey. And then when he's buried, he returns to the body. So does the soul actually die at any time?

Does the soul die anytime?

Maybe the person says okay, no, it doesn't. Okay, Allah subhanaw taala says Kulu enough sins are equitable mode coluna offs, every soul shall taste death. So then how do we understand that on the one hand, the last panther is telling us that every soul shall taste death. But yet at the same time, we know that when the person dies, the soul goes on a journey

seems to be continuing to live or have an existence. So how do we understand this? Okay.

Even Tamia rahamallah Hagen, he says on this, the souls are no doubt created.

But they do not cease to exist, they still exist, it may die, but still exists. Does that make sense? When you say that person, the person died, but still exists. If a person is in the grave, for example,

can they when there is, you know, other but when I'm on cover, there is the punishment, and the reward of the grief whenever we think of the grave, like a double cover. And of course, you should seek refuge in a larger Ira from the punishment that way, but likewise, a person can be rewarded.

And that occurs both to the body and soul. So even though that the body dies, it still exists, and can still feel in the life of the body, in the life of the grave, may be rewarded or punished. It's a different life, it's a different existence, that we can't compare it to the life that we have now. Okay, so if I get, for example, a little pin, and put in my hand, that will hurt me,

you do that to a dead person, there's got to be no movement,

you will see anything, according to science, that they're all the nerves are dead, the brain is dead, the heart is not pumping, and so on and so forth. But we know that the Prophet Allison told us that the breaking of the bones of the deceased is like you would feel as you are breaking them when you're alive. So the deceased has died, or still has an existence.

Okay. So there is no conflict, to say that every soul shall taste death, meaning that when the soul is within your body, that it is alive with you. And at the time of death, when the soul is taken, that this can be understood that this is the death of the body and soul, but it still has its own existence.

Is that clear?

Yeah, if you're not, if it's not clear, then just say it's not quite clear. And we'll say it again, if our title is important, you understand these matters.

So the, the death of the soul, if you like, occurs when they are separated from the body. And at the second blowing of the trumpet, because there are two blows of the trumpet. Okay, the first Trump blowing of the trumpet is the M, that's the end of the world. And then the second blowing of the trumpet is the when everybody's raised from their graves, or wherever they were buried

in Mammoth, or how we oh, the commentating fact of Keita haha, he said that the people differed over whether the soul dies or not.

He said, the correct view is to say that the death of the soul is when it is separated from the body, and it departs from the body.

And if this is what is meant, by the death, that this is the death of the soul, when it is separated from the body. But it will still have its own journey after that.

It still has its existence, the death doesn't necessarily mean the end.

Yes, it has an end for the existence and this worldly life that we have, like the physical body has its existence as we we know now, or when a person dies and then is buried, that the body and the soul will have an existence and what a feels and what it goes through in a different realm, the life of the grief.

So it is important for us to explain that in Charlottetown.

If they say

The depth of the body and the soul means it ceases to exist, then this is not correct, because they will both exist, you will both see them more rather. So you will see the body, you don't see the soul, but they both, but they both exist.

Now as for the abode, or where the rule where it resides, in the bizarre, the Berserk is the life of the grave, the existence or the realm of the grave.

Not this worldly life that we are living in, but the life of the grief. And just a little while ago, I was having a conversation with somebody.

And for them to understand the reality of a different realm, if we're gonna call it or different existence, sometimes it's difficult for us to, to understand that.

So I mentioned an example is not my own example is a common example that's given

that if you couldn't imagine a baby that's yet to be born, and it's still in the womb with about the stomach of its mother. And it lives within this kind of embryonic kind of casing.

And this is all it knows, warm. It can hear. Okay, there's movement, it is fed. If,

you know if it was possible to explain to that small baby inside that Do you know that there is an existence, there is some place called Earth,

and that there are billions of people that live there. And there's cause and there's technology? And would they believe you? They said, What are you talking about? The only existence that they know, is that what they have lived in, they've never experienced this worldly life as we know it. So there could be potentially reason to deny that existence because they had never seen it. But it doesn't mean that it's not there. Similarly, for us, we've not seen the life of the buzzer, or person when you explain, Jenna explained the hellfire and whatever, I've never seen that there was a stage in your existence, where if we were able to chat and speak to you about this world, you would have

denied it as well.

So the fact that it is not something you've seen yourself, isn't reason to deny. And the fact that that a lot about what Allah

tells us in the Quran very clearly. Similarly, in the Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi wa sallam very clearly about the different stages and existences that we have, okay.

It's not something which is very far away from the realms of actually believing.

So with regards to the rule, the soul with a bow where it is, so for example, the Ottawa or the souls of the prophets and messengers, the best of people,

they will be in the best of dwelling and the highest part of a lien.

Does anybody know what what led in which Surah This is

Moto 15 Okay, motors with storytelling, motor 15 A lot of our data tells us about the highest places with the highest companions and as we also know, that the Prophet sallallahu ala said from the last words that he said fear if you can either in the companionship of the Most High.

So the souls of

the prophets and the very highest places overly lean.

Likewise, a short header, the profit rather the martyrs,

but Similarly, Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Surah, too early Emraan

wallet has been well at seven the iniquity roofie said ILA and what do not think that those who have been killed in the path of Allah subhanaw taala as and what, what, or even though they have been killed by a higher on angora, be him euros Akun that Rather, they are alive with their Lord and they have provisions. So, this existence that they have afterwards is a life and that they are provided for

and as Masaru Coronavirus have been asked Abdullah with Mr. Rude or the law I know about this verse.

Abdullah with Massoud the great companion of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we asked them about that then he replied to their souls or in the hearts of green birds,

which have lamps hanging from the throne of our ramen, and they roam in the Paradise wherever they wish. And then they come back to these lamps. This hadith narrated in Sahih Muslim. So this is the case for the shahada, the solves having this scenario, this blessing in the Hereafter.

And this is mentioned here. This is the reward for the majority of the shahada, except those who are detained and held back by any debts that they have. So having debts will be something that will hold back and endure

You all from being rewarded possibly in the hereafter. Even those who are those who sacrificed their lives for Allah subhanaw taala. So making sure that no one you don't have any debts, don't take our debts unnecessarily make sure that they're paid off.

So this is the state of the

the soul is in the Hereafter with regards to the prophets and then the martyrs and also the souls of the righteous the Saudi Hoon, and that the souls will be like birds purchase or perching on the trees of agenda. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said that the soul of the Muslim is a bird poaching in the trees of the paradise until Allah Allahu Allah returns it to the body, on the Day of Resurrection and cavia how Allah Allah I don't know exactly how that is, but this is what was described to us. And this no, there is a name is a blessing for the soul of the, of the believer.

As for the souls of the sinners, that we mentioned previously, when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam on the journey of Israelite well Mirage was taken up into the heavens, the prophet Ellison was shown Jahannam and was shown also the state of the people who have been punished in their grave. And from them was you know, a person who was involved in riba backbiting a person who's involved in Riba and the various punishments that were given to them, like iron hooks being placed in either side of the mouth and then pulled okay, and that their faces would be torn. Those who consumed the river interest that they would be swimming in a river of dumb of blood, and stones would be thrown into

their mouths. This is what happens to that individual.

The

souls of those who are sinners,

not necessarily mean that they are disbelievers. As for the kuffaar, as for the disbelievers then in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, Torah, the Allahu Anhu.

dissimilatory is mentioned in the hadith of barbed wire, zip, A and D are the Rinat is the journey of the soul, that the soul has a foul stench that is taken up and it is rejected to go any further up into the highest places of the skies. And that is called by the worst names because of its disbelief and rejection of Allah subhanaw taala.

Okay, does the torment or other herbal cover affect the soul, the body, or both? Okay. Now, the existence of what happens in the body.

Of that what happens in the gray or in the grave, the life of the grave, is something habit, something established, I think we'd maybe took this in the first or second lesson,

that this is the teachings of the Quran,

the Hadith of the Prophet alayhi salam and the understanding of the righteous predecessors, that there is an existence in the grave, that there can be a punishment, and that there can be also a reward.

Only those who went astray denied, they denied that there was any form of a verbal cover

that their intellect, which they use before understanding the texts, and their argument is, of course, well, how do I understand the texts? Do I not use my mind to understand the texts? Absolutely you do. But in matters, that is beyond the realm of you've ever seen or understand what you're going to use? What are you going to put forth are going to say? Well, my mind has never seen that. My mind can't understand the reality of that, therefore, I reject it. No.

A saline Indian resource, there is an acceptance of what the texts have given to us. Even though you might not understand the reality of that, what it looks like colors and sizes and whatnot. Okay.

So when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us slightly going off topics on what but the Prophet Ellison told us that the size of the molar tooth, the molar tooth, rather, the back of the disbeliever, in Jahannam, will be how big the size of the Jebel or hurt

Okay?

Every single offered in Medina, it's an enormous mountain about seven kilometers. Now, birth box is a molar the size of the molar tooth, that's just part of his body of this believer in Jahannam, will be that imagine the rest of the size of him or her?

How can that be? You're going to deny that because your mind can't imagine it. No, absolutely, you know. So, therefore, the texts, the authentic texts course from the Sunnah, the acceptance of the Quran, whether you understand it or not, is something we accept. So matters of allowable cover, author habit, established clearly in the Quran, the Sunnah.

The reality of that is what

the view

Lesson number one is that the soul is distinct from the body. But it's connected to it. As we have mentioned, they're two separate entities, but they are connected while we're alive here.

So to therefore share what the slide myblu Tamia rahamallah, to Allah commenting on this, he says that the torment, and the blessing happen to both the soul and the body, both the soul and the body. According to the consensus of a hollow cylinder. The soul is blessed, and tormented, separate from the body, so the soul may have its own blessing, reward and punishment.

And the body is also connected to it when they're buried, the soul is pulled back into the body.

So therefore, the blessings and torment happened to both together in this situation.

As I mentioned, there are other groups, philosophers, and scholars of other misguided groups that deny this.

Does a person know

anything about what is happening in this world after they die?

When a person dies, and they are buried? Is that person who's they're very aware of what happens or is happening in this dunya? It's valid question, common question.

And it's common question Why go to the graveyard? Can I speak to my neighbor parent who passed away or relative? Can I speak to my relative Can they hear me? Because they cannot respond? No one is going to say they respond to you verbally, but can they hear me? So this needs an answer.

It has narrated in the sound Hadith sahih that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us when a person is placed in their grave, and his companions depart after burying him, surely he hears the sound of their footsteps. The person deceased will hear the footsteps of his companions walking away. And here the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that you should make dua for your companion for no use, because now they're going to be questioned in the grave.

So it is the bit it is established that the person who is in that grave will hear the footsteps of the people walking away.

Also, we mentioned that three days after the Battle of whether,

when the Muslims defeated the machete coined the polytheists, three days after that, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stood over

the Moshe raccoon, the polytheists, who had been killed in this battle from them Abuja, from them or may have been cut off or wherever don't Obeah and shaver tip neurobion These will all mean people from the fall who are killed in this battle.

The Prophet sallallahu Sallam went back and found their bodies there after the battle three days

and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam addressed them. Have you not found what your Lord promised you?

But I found what my Lord promised me

here. Oh my goodness, Cadabra Allah who said Ya rasool Allah, O Messenger of Allah.

How can they hear how could they respond when they are rotting corpses?

Here the prophets, Allah, some said by the one, whose hand is my soul,

you do not hear what I say any better than they do.

So I'm saying you can hear me they can hear me what I'm saying to them. No.

You can't hear any better than then these rotting corpses. But they cannot reply.

They cannot reply.

And then the Prophet sallallahu Sallam commanded they were dragged away and thrown into a well of burden.

Okay, so there was a number we've quoted to here to say that there is a number of Hadith which indicate that the deceased

that they can hear you

and there are similar texts. Other than that, okay, so we go to the Quran

and also Panasonic, Allah subhanaw taala says in Nikola to smear all Moto, that Verily you cannot make the data here you cannot make the data here. So on the one hand, we have some a hadith

say that the deceased can hear on two different situations. And here we have in the Quran, a blanket rule if you like or general understanding the kind of make the did hear you. So how do we reconcile?

So even if they mirror him Allah he says that he Allah subhanaw taala is in talking about the verse in chapter number 27, verse 80.

That is the hearing of comprehension. He Allah soprano is the denying these

dceased the hearing of comprehension, which does not lead to any benefit to them,

speaking to them is of no benefit. And then they cannot understand comprehend what you're saying.

It is not

something that you, you know you can convey with them and that you can have a conversation with them.

What is meant in this verse is that hey Allah subhanaw taala is talking about the hearing of acceptance, when one hears and obeys. So when you speak to them, that they have some form of acceptance of what you are saying.

He Elijah is denying that

there is also an understanding to say that there is no because of the verse based here in the Quran, de la jolla says that you cannot make the dead here, this is the origin.

But there was only a couple of occasions where the deceased might hear. And that is when the Companions leave.

He hears the footsteps or she hears the footsteps of the people when they're walking away. So therefore, they're the deceased understanding is restricted is restricted to what evidence proves that they can hear

is that clear? So it's only in these circumstances that they were able to hear other than that, but they won't be able to hear you. And even on the view that they could hear, it is not obvious it's not a hearing of any form of comprehension of any understanding at all.

Okay,

the last thing I want to mention concerning the knifes and the rule

is the different types

that didn't types of knifes. We're talking about the soul again, we said there there are three types. There are three types of knifes.

The first one is a model to be through that soul, which is inclined to do evil and to do wrong.

And here Allah subhanaw taala mentions in chapter number 12 In verse number 53, the very the human self the knifes is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows mercy so there's a type of soul that individual that person that knifes is inclined to do Mukalla to do evil to do sin.

And then there is enough sulla worm, knifes Allah worm that is the

the blameworthy soul

which is different from the first because the first one is inclined to do evil constantly and not care. The second one is self reproaching. Meaning when they do something wrong, that they feel bad and then they want to repent.

And then the third self or soul is enough Psalm automa in that tranquil good soul, that pure soul is which is totally inclined to the worship of Allah subhanho wa taala.

So the further explanation, if a soul is controlled by its whims and desires, individual, the body and soul

is inclined towards its whims and desires, so that commits sin and becomes a disobedient individual.

Then that is

enough to moderate me. So, that is the soul that is inclined to do evil and wrong.

And then there is an absolute worm the blameworthy soul and that is the soul which commits the sin, regrets and then returns to Allah subhanaw taala in repentance, because they know that they feel that they done wrong.

And then there is the soul in complete rest and satisfaction,

which loves and desires goodness

and it loves to do good deeds and it hates and detests evil and wrongdoing.

And that becomes a nature it becomes the norm for that knifes to do good.

So therefore, us we are fighting with our knifes. There's a struggle, there was a war going on with your knifes. What soul do you have? What knifes Do you have? Do you have that soul which is inclined to do evil that we know that the evil becomes a norm

and they don't care about goodness and have no regret about anything. Repentance is the last thing on their mind. Or is their maybe for the majority is the blameworthy soul that they do something wrong and they regret and they feel bad about it. And then he turned back to Allah subhanaw taala and they get to have weakness. And then at a higher level, there is that complete

enough self motivation

which is mentioned at the very end of certified

So here

we look at the end of Surah Al Fajr Allah subhanaw taala says here are you to enough cell motormen Oh, tranquil, good soul, your God in Arabic or beaky to return to your Lord. So this is the good soul.

These aren't three different types or three knifes that you have is the one knifes you have but can be described in one of three different ways. Is that clear? John?

Is on brother says yes, I'm sure everybody else understands. He's the youngest guy here

by

okay.

Here we're going to stop at the military in the next lesson, which is the third Friday of the next month, which I think I think is the 17th of December. We'll continue this in sha Allah Tala. And what we'll talk about, again, what the journey journey of the Hereafter is the beginning of the resurrection lpm what happens and the journey that all of us will have inevitably

inshallah Tada to paradise. But there isn't just a straight will maybe there is in fact, there is for some who are not taken to account at all on Yeoman PM, there is no hisab for them, they just have a path straight to the paradise for others. There may be an Akash there may be a discussion of your deeds. There is the Surat the bridge, over Jahannam, Kampala all of this journey or do these things, the Mazon the weighing of your deeds, okay, the weighing of the individual themselves, your scrolls, all of these things, which all comes under an EMA Nobilia will occur which all comes underneath the our iman and our belief in what happens in the hereafter. Okay, so it's a very

important topic for us to deal with Uncharted turns to go through. And that's where we will stop today and begin next week or rather next month, about the resurrection inshallah to Allah and what happens after that, maybe we will have

one lesson after that, and they will conclude this topic, which is documental Hara was Allah Allah wa Salam o baraka and mbN Muhammad in early he was herbage Mariam Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
