Karim Allah Azza wa barakaatuh Allah Akbar Al Hadi Haddad Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was Sharon memori Martha to have a coulomb, Hadith and Buddha Wakulla without Andorra, Allah, Bakula Darlington Vinata mama bothered by the Allah, my dear brothers and sisters.

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

Yesterday was my first time visiting the cemetery in 10 days, and I thought that would be enough Subhanallah but today, we just pray janazah the fifth janazah in this community in 10 days, 11 days.

00:00:34--> 00:00:42

And on every occasion, every time we go to the to the cemetery, we realize that this is an equalizer.

00:00:43--> 00:00:58

We witness such as Anna Janaza of an 18 year old young man, an elderly woman, a brother who was known to be one of the founders of the community as well too, who passed away. And then we had another elderly man and today Subhanallah another

00:00:59--> 00:01:38

this brings everybody back again to where they belong to Allah subhanahu wa taala but I was in on all these occasions, and I was standing there in the cemetery, attending the burial and watching people you know, coming together helping and assisting and then after that, few people just stand there to make dua, people crying and otherwise and then everybody goes home that remind me what have you the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Hadith Amis had been married and say Al Bukhari and Muslim I couldn't help but just keep thinking about this hadith Subhan Allah, when the prophets of Allah wa sallam says call yet God Almighty eater, yet Dharma utiliza because three things will follow the

00:01:38--> 00:01:50

deceased. Three will follow the Janaza he said Salah Salem Kala, who who was a man who Ramadan, his family, his wealth, and his deeds,

00:01:51--> 00:02:34

call fire Jasmine Welco had to return back. And he speaks about his family and his wealth, and what remains there with them. Brothers and sisters, ask yourself this question when this happens, who would you like to have you to be your company in that place? Subhanallah I remember in almost every occasion, watching the family, that bereaved family crying and they'd have to cry because of how Allah Allah Subhana Allah called death. masiva was all about Kumasi, but to mode and you've been afflicted with the calamity of death. So people will cry. And that's normal. They should do that. It's okay. They look for support, they look for other family members to hug them and hold them

00:02:34--> 00:03:02

Subhanallah and that's alright, that's okay. But then after the burial was over, and we make dua, I asked the people to just kneel down a little bit by that grave as the Sunnah of the Prophet said Allah said and to spend some time methodology a zoo, as if you're slaughtering an animal and then distribute the meat make dua that the amount of that time but then we sit down there, and after two, three minutes, not even three minutes, everybody starts getting up and leave.

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

That's it, we're done.

00:03:05--> 00:03:42

And as they walk, and they walk away, I will look at people as they walk away, just go back again to normal business, talking with each other smiling, sometimes laughing and they're not even get, you know, off the grass area yet. We're going back again to normal. So everybody's gonna go back to their life. But you're going to be down there in that grave. And you're the one who's going to be meeting ALLAH SubhanA wa taala. On that moment in that night, may Allah make our meeting with Allah as of the best Yoruba ottoman. Brothers and sisters that moment remember Raja Rahim Allah Allahu taala. He explained that and beautifully he says, God, what if zero Harada the the explanation of

00:03:42--> 00:04:09

this call in Nibbana Adam if it dunya la Bucha della home in LA new Asha room, where Melania it should be. He says that in this life. We need family. We wired to have connections, emotional connection with each other, so we need family to live with. While Mallory is up, we need wealth to live by. So we can use it to look and survive. Because we need that. So those two companions will be with you throughout your lifetime, but then they will leave you on pathways with you.

00:04:10--> 00:04:49

They will partner with you no matter how much you try. And the only one that says what he says is your DT tal for salaried. The winner. The happy ones on that day he says come and attack Adam and Derek a Marine who alotta Atilla with Aquila, subhanho, wa taala, they are the winner. The happy person in that moment, he says, is the one who uses these two things are at least he has from this companionship with their family and their wealth, that which will bring them closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala because Allah azza wa jal he says ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala says about those who don't, don't make their family, an incentive for them to do that to the akhirah don't use their

00:04:49--> 00:04:59

money to bring them closer to Allah subhana wa Tada Allah azza wa jal when he spoke about Allah rub the Bedouins they said Carlos Chaka Latina Ahmad on our Buena Vista for Luna. They told the prophet says Amira

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

Allah, we got preoccupied with our families and our kids and our on our wealth. So please seek forgiveness for us. Now they want someone else to make dua for them.

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

And they're still alive. Imagine when they're dead.

00:05:14--> 00:05:55

So being preoccupied with your family, and making money was not enough excuse with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada for you to make your duty to Allah azza wa jal. And so he says the best thing to use is to utilize that family of yours, to make them among those who will be in sha Allah to introduce you to Allah subhanho wa Taala while you're alive, after you pass, similar with your wealth, making sure that this wealth is also brings you closer to Allah subhanho wa taala. How is that even possible? How is that even possible number one, your family will come to your family. The prophets of Allah Allah wa sallam said to us call on the day when were buried says, the last thing we will be able to

00:05:55--> 00:06:09

connect the last connection we have with this world is hearing the footsteps of our people as they leave the cemetery. The last thing so we're hearing right now our beloved ones, leaving us and they will leave us alone.

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

So no matter how much you try to keep them around, no matter how much they love you,

00:06:16--> 00:06:56

eventually they're going to have to move on. That's the son of Allah subhanho wa Taala and this creation. And the interesting thing is, why is it the last thing that we keep in our connection with the dunya is hearing. Because the first thing that we also we gain in this dunya before we're even born is hearing the babies in the wombs of their mothers, they can hear the sounds around them before they were able to see. So when they are born, they're already connected, you know, what the sound would be probably maybe familiar with. And because it's the first thing that we gain, is the last thing that we also lose as we depart from this world. So your family, what do you need from

00:06:56--> 00:07:10

them is that when that moment comes to you they become among the people Allah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the Hadith da da da da Mankato hammer the whole lemon Salah when someone dies, their book of these will be interrupted except for three things.

00:07:11--> 00:07:15

He said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called sadaqa jariya running charity,

00:07:16--> 00:07:37

our element into our beneficial Knology leave behind a word in Salah. hanja the ruler, a righteous child would make dua for you. Did you raise your family and your children to remember you after you're gone? To thank you, to thank you and make dua for you for the blessing you have bestowed upon them by the Grace of Allah subhanho wa Taala in this dunya?

00:07:38--> 00:08:14

Or did you just raise them to become dunya successful, so when they die, they're too busy managing the dunya that you actually taught them to take to take care of. Have you taught your kids to worry about the Ophira for themselves. So they will appreciate you for teaching them the Quran for bringing them to the masjid for Jesus about Allah subhanho wa Taala would that be enough so that when you're gone, they'll make dresser God forgive my parents. Forgive my mom forgive my dad, because without them I would be lost out of the Grace of Allah subhana wa Donna, brothers and sisters, make sure that you do that. Because it's Hala even

00:08:15--> 00:08:53

one of the seller for him Allah hotel, he says can look after you after people leave that the cemetery and even while they live in a cemetery as well. He says your family might be getting busy working on the inheritance and everything else. But only your friends. Sometimes those faithful friends who befriended you for the sake of Allah azza wa jal, those will have the pain in the heart for your loss. So he said sometimes our friends could be more faithful to us than our own families. So make sure that the company that you raise around you whether it's your family or your friends, those will benefit you in the era after you're gone from this world. The second compare that leaves

00:08:53--> 00:09:04

the cemetery your wealth and your money, Carl verger so this will go back with them your car that you always enjoy driving mashallah someone else is already driving it back

00:09:05--> 00:09:40

whatever that you ride the ride with them on that moment they're gonna take it back out from the summit and nothing is gonna stay with you. And all that was is going to be distributed as inheritance inside Bukhara the Prophet SAW Allah Allah Selim says call JD Venus Earth, Cara Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam au come mad What is the how Bala him in Mali? He says Who among you? Who amongst you loves the wealth of his heirs more than his own wealth? And the Sahaba just like surprised what carrier Rasulullah Mahna Mahna had no one likes, the wealth of the earth that they need for inheritance will be more beloved than their own wealth.

00:09:41--> 00:09:52

So the professor says and he says Carla for in Nirmala, Houma cut them. Your wealth is the one that you send forward ahead of you. While I'm out Omar is worth

00:09:54--> 00:10:00

the wealth of your heirs of what you keep in your hand what you return in your hand. Because once you die that money

00:10:00--> 00:10:04

It is no longer yours, no matter how much you know you were trying to hold it and hide it in your bank account, whatever that you're doing.

00:10:05--> 00:10:38

Once it comes out, it's no longer yours. It used to be once. So he said if you if you lucky, they make sure that you give a lot of charity assist help out, make sure you send it's always in higher inshAllah autoboca and Sahaba della Donham they were so good with that, that they said that a beloved honorable Katara one day he was riding a ride a camel or a horse probably. He liked it so much. He loved it so much that he stepped off that actually that that camel or that horse and he says you know what? This is feasible.

00:10:40--> 00:11:18
