			many Mina most Nene SMIL Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was a heavy
woman who had a hammer and a hadith reported in both Bukhari and Muslim from our mother Haifa the
Allahu Allah has famous Hadith. I'm sure we've all heard this hadith before, and today we're going
to extract some benefits from additional load to our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I
have been called Allah hub Allahu Akbar, a woman clearly on the court Allah He curry Halawa, who,
whoever loves to meet Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah loves to meet him and whoever hates to meet
Allah. Allah hates to meet him. Now before we move on. Let's derive some benefits from this one
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:48
			phrase. Firstly, we see that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is engaging in some very, very
deep conversation with our mother Aisha. This is a very profound Hadith. Whoever loves meeting Allah
Allah loves to meet him. Whoever hates meeting Allah Allah does not like to meet him. This is not
just you know, chit chat. This is a Hadith that our ulama have spent hours pages and pages and who
is our Prophet says I'm talking with his wife Isha. This shows us that a part of our conversations
with our intimate families must also be spiritual. It's not just chit chat and just having a
conversation know your family deserves most importantly anybody else to have their Eman increased
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:33
			that you advise them? Yeah, you will let the number of cool and full circle li Canara protect
yourselves and your families. All too often. The husband's put on this show of religiosity and being
mashallah in the masjid as soon as they go home. No mention of Allah and His Messenger no Hadith no
Quran is just chit chat and what happened and Chai and coffee and food and whatnot who deserves
Islamic knowledge more than your own family. We see the conversations of our Prophet system and our
mother not that they didn't have regular conversations but make sure that we include Islamic Naziha
with our own families. Now, man I have Bella hola habla call another benefit from this. Everything
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:18
			begins with an internal thought in mind. Everything begins with a Nia in normal and open yet you
begin with an internal frame of mind whoever loves to meet Allah is love and action or is love and
emotion what is it? It's an emotion, everything begins in the club. You have to begin everything
with the right idea the right concept the right near the right paradigm. Man I have barely called
Allah. Another benefit from this is that come to the you know to Dan, as you do, you shall receive
and I gave a whole lecture about this, I think a month or two ago before Ramadan. And when we were
in the gymnasium, right? I gave many examples from the Quran and Sunnah. The same you do unto others
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:52
			who will be done unto you. If you love Allah, Allah will love you. If you love to meet Allah, Allah
will love to meet you. If you eager for Allah's reward. Allah is eager to give you His Word. If you
give good thoughts about Allah, Allah will treat you in a good manner and are in the one near
abitibi I am as my servants think of Me, I deal with my servants the way my servants think of Me. So
as you do unto others, it will be given back to you. So everything begins with an internal frame of
mind with the knee, yep. And the knee has to be good and positive and the knee it has to be linked
with Allah subhanho wa Taala men have been called Allah He or Habibollah, who are who will also
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:30
			affirm from this that Allah subhanho wa Taala love certain things and does not like other things,
hope and also a quarter or hatred, these are characteristics that Allah has in a way that befits
him. And every characteristic that occurs in the Quran and Sunnah every adjective that is affirmed
to Allah, we affirm it and we don't think too deeply. Allah loves certain things. And Allah does not
love other things. And we let it be we know the meaning of these words. We don't know how they exist
when it comes to Allah subhanho wa taala. So whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him in
return. Whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet them. Now, look at our issues,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:59
			responsibility, Allahu Allah. And we see this over and over again. I have given in this spirit spot
here, so many lectures where the Sahaba themselves they question, they challenge, they prodded they
didn't understand something, and their Eman and their bravery and their inquisitiveness. And their
trust in the mercy of the Prophet system allowed them to ask very blunt questions, very frank
questions, and frankly, some of our own scholars if you were to ask them a similar
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			their genre of questions they would become irritated. They will say How dare you ask me? How dare
you challenge and the Prophet system and never did this? Sometimes he was asked very frank
questions, and the spirit of inquisitive inquiry is totally different than the spirit of rejection.
Anybody who asks a question with a framework of wanting to learn more with the framework of wanting
to increase the amount wanting to understand no problem, we accept that question. Even the angels
asked Allah subhana wa Taala Why would you create mankind? Oh Allah, the power to attach. Alfia man
used to do favors for Kadima, why would you do that? Oh Allah, even the angels questioned the wisdom
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:22
			of Allah, but they're questioning not to challenge that Schofer you never question Allah to
challenge your questioning to understand your questioning to increase your iman, so I shut up the
Allahu anha. Immediately something doesn't make sense to her. And she says yado suit Allah, all of
us, we hate to die. So here she is using her rational knowledge, her lived experience, to try to
question this understanding. She's not challenging, she's not rejecting. But she's saying this
doesn't add up to my lived experience. What do you mean Oh, Messenger of Allah, that whoever loves
to meet Allah, everybody that I know, doesn't like death. Could Luna knock Rahul Mote? How can
		
00:06:22 --> 00:07:04
			somebody love to meet Allah when no human being embraces death? Now here we have an inquisitiveness
that is natural, and there's nothing wrong with a natural inquisitiveness. Unfortunately, all too
often we stifle any question. We stifle any debate, especially amongst the next generation. And
that's going to backlash. Parents is going to backlash. It might have worked for me and you back in
the 80s it's not going to work for this generation. You cannot stifle their inquisitiveness, their
questioning, you have to meet them just like the Prophet system to explain understand, and you will
be surprised at the level of maturity. But here I was questioning Ya Rasulullah How can this how can
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:42
			this understanding be correct? Something you have to explain to me, every one of us hates to meet
hates death coluna Quran Mote I will prophesy. Listen, I'm sending one version. They said it could
cathodic that's not what I meant. That's not what I'm intending here. That's not you are taking
something and I'm not saying that. And this is how he explained. He is not negating it. She has
lived experience he affirms that you're right. I agree with you. Nobody likes death. Every one of us
why don't we like death, by the way, because death is the end of what we're familiar with. And
everybody fears the unfamiliar. Correct? Every if you're gonna move to a new city, you're nervous,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:21
			you're gonna get a new job you walk in, you're nervous. How about leaving this dunya and entering
the next of course, you're gonna be nervous and scared. It's human nature. And it is not wrong. It's
not an Islamic to be worried about death to be not happy about death, cool Luna and Acropolis? As
Aisha said, every one of us we hate to die. Why would we not when this is all that we've known?
We've only known life? Why would we not be worried or terrified and leaving our loved ones here and
what not? So the fear of death is normal and natural and Islamic in and of itself. It's no sin
there. It's what you do with that fear, which is your motivate yourself to be a better person. Now,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:09:11
			our Prophet system affirmed our issues observed reality. Yes, you're right. I agree with you.
Everybody loves death, but everybody hates death. Then he said, That's not what I'm intending,
though. That's not what I'm intending. You have taken something that I wasn't saying. Then he
explained and he clarified when the Mothman is given glad tidings of the reward of ALLAH SubhanA wa
taala. He loves to meet Allah. And when he loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. And when
the rejecter is given the bad news of his punishment, he hates to meet Allah. And so Allah hates to
meet him. Now, this is a very, very profound reality. The prophets have jumped over the awkward
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:55
			stage of death. And he went to the first step of the bizarre, the actual stage of death. We're all
worried to enter it every one of us once we pass that initial millisecond of death, once the Angel
of Death comes down, at that very sight, every human will be initially little bit worried and
terrified except for the Shaheed the one person that is not going to have any fear is the Shaheed
Allah azza wa jal give us the death of a shade. Other than that, every human being as soon as they
see the Angel of Death, there's going to be a bit of a terror that's why the eyes go wide open or
Profit System said this right. When the eye is see the angel of death. They follow the soul as it
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			leaves the body. This is the Hadith, right? The soul as it leaves the body
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:42
			The eyes are gonna follow it. So seeing the Angel of Death is going to be a shock. You're standing,
you're sitting and all of a sudden this NT Of course, you're going to be terrified. That is
reflected in our eyes and the raw leaves is reflected in our eyes. But a new world comes we don't
see it from the corpse. A new world comes. What is that world? In Alladhina? Collarbone Allahu Tomas
Docomo, what happens? Tetanus zu la mala Mala Iike to Allah Taha for that as well. Abby shearable
generativity quantum to I don't know how No Oh, Leah, Phil higher to dunya or Phil Akira, our
Prophet system said, when the road is about to be taken over the believer, he will find the angels
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:25
			as far as the eye can see, but you but who beautiful faces with row Hanrahan with with the
fragrances of Jana, and they're welcoming him with salaam, and they're welcoming him with his best
names. So you tell me, you see the angel terror, then all of a sudden, beauty, peace, comfort,
light, what's going to happen? Calm, and the angels will be calling out, Oh, beautiful soul come.
And the angels will be calling you by your names that were the most beloved, your names that your
mothers and fathers called you by your names that your best friends used Your most Beloved names.
And the angels will say, Don't worry about what you have left behind. Don't worry about what you're
		
00:11:25 --> 00:12:06
			going to face. And don't be scared about your family and relatives, we will take care of them. And
we'll take care of you now. Earlier, okay. So at that stage, is the moment going to be happy or not,
of course is going to be happy. And that's what the Profit System said. Once you get over that one
millisecond of little bit of fear and trepidation. At that stage, you're happy to meet Allah, Allah
is happy to meet you. So he allowed a bit of trepidation and fear for the actual stage of death. And
the opposite. The one who the angels of punishment come as the prophets have said, as far as the eye
can see the angels of punishment, and they're Stern, they're angry, they're terrifying to look at.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:47
			And they're going to mention him and call him by his worst names, and he will be terrified looking
at them, and they tell him what is awaiting him. Does he want to meet Allah? Obviously not. Now?
What is the goal or purpose of telling us this hadith? How do we try our best to get the first set
of angels and avert ourselves away from the second set of angels? That's the goal of this hadith.
The goal of this hadith is to make us prepared to meet the correct set of angels. The goal of this
hadith we act our lives so that we want to meet Allah so that the right angels are sent so that
Allah azza wa jal wants to meet us. That's the goal of this hadith. And with this, we conclude we
		
00:12:47 --> 00:13:31
			began with in demand, MR. Lubin yet, but what do we end with a llama ruble, how our team the ending
is that those NIA has to be translated into good deeds, and those deeds are what count and
especially the deeds that you do at the end of your life. So you begin with Nia you begin with love,
and then it must be manifested in your mannerisms in your worship. In your interactions, your Amel
has to reflect that muhabba of Allah azza wa jal once your Amel reflects that muhabba once you are
eager to meet Allah by doing the deeds that Allah loves, that's the only way you're going to show
Allah's love. And how do you do those these pull in contempt to hipbone Allah for Tebbe ruin Europe
		
00:13:31 --> 00:14:10
			come Allah, you have to follow the one whom Allah loves and that is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. If you truly love Allah, follow the Prophet system, Allah will love you. So if we are eager
to meet Allah, loving Allah, we will follow the commandments of Allah and study the Sunnah of the
Messenger of Allah and follow in accordance with that when we do so then Inshallah, who to Allah
when the angel of death comes, he will be accompanied by all those angels of mercy, who will tell us
the good news, we will be excited to meet Allah and Allah will be excited to meet us. And when we do
the opposite, we're very willing to do Billa the opposite will happen. So we ask Allah subhana wa
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:33
			taala, to have a genuine love of Him, and to allow the love to be manifested in our actions. And we
ask Allah azza wa jal to love us and to allow those whom He loves to love us. And we ask Allah to
love Him and to love his reward and to be rewarded by seeing him and the next arc in the next life
