Impressive actions by some Islamists have led to struggles for their followers, including the need for time and money. A funeral service worker tells a family member that they need help carrying funeral services for their family members who have passed away 30 years ago and their favorite worker, Bicer taala. Bicer taala is well known in the sky, and his name is Bforce Abab, a very well-known worker.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			One time Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			sitting with some of his
companions,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			while a janazah passed by.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			And then the companions of Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			sallam started to speak ill about
this brother,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:20
			how bad character he had, how much
he harmed people.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			And then, after a while,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			another Jenner has passed by.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			And then the Sahaba started to
speak good about this brother.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			How much goodness he used to
spread the to the people around
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			him.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			He was very generous. He was
taking care of the community.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			He was putting goodness
everywhere.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			So Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, watch a
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			bit, words a bit, watch a bit.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			He said watch a bit wider, but
watch over to the first brother
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			and to the second brother.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			So the Companions wanted to ask
you know, Prophet Muhammad
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			Sallallahu Sallam what words even
means?
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			So the Ask the Prophet, you said
what Rasul Allah What was your bit
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			means? What are we trying to say?
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:20
			So Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, you spoke
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:27
			very ill about the first brother.
That Hellfire becomes obligatory
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			upon him.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:36
			And you spoke so good very highly
about the other brother. So Jana
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			becomes obligatory upon him.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:47
			And subhanAllah it just gives us
this different perspective about
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			the acts of worship that we
dedicate to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			because it's not just limited to
those acts of worship.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			Also, our way of interacting with
others matters in the eyes of
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			Allah subhanaw taala because of
his reputation, and because of his
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			Soma, and because of the goodness
that he used to spread Rasulullah
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			sallallahu sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, Jana becomes
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			obligatory upon him. Subhanallah
this hadith
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			reminds me by a brother
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			who used to live in New Jersey,
back home.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			And this brother, he is from
Paxton.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			This brother came to United States
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			at very old age, he was around
maybe 50.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			And he lived in this community 30
years.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			And he was a very humble man.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			Very humble, humble man is not you
know, doesn't have high status.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			He's not a share. He's not a
speaker. He's not someone who is a
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			leader in the community. Nothing
like that. Very simple man. You
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			might not even recognize his
presence at the Salawat sometimes
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			very quiet brother.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			But this brother
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			wanted to help domestic since day
one. He's coming as an as an
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			immigrant and you know, like
immigrants when they came when
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			they come to the US, they have a
lot to deal with. They need time
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			to you know, adjust to the new,
you know, country, new system, new
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			language, financial burden.
Sometimes you have Allah on your
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			plate.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			But this brother despite all of
these challenges,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			he decided to go to the masjid and
help based in his capacity, he
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			asked the brother, how can I help
them as yet they told him we
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			different we actually have nothing
for you to do. He said no, I want
		
00:04:54 --> 00:05:00
			to help with any capacity. You
told him actually you can work for
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			For the funeral service at the
masjid, we need a brother to help
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:10
			you know carrying the gnash and
putting it on the you know under
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			the dust and helping out with this
process.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			Is a Bismillah
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			I will do that
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:27
			30 years working for that masjid
for the funeral service. And if
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			you look at his name is Bucha RotM
Allah subhanaw taala bless his
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			soul.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			When you look at Brother Bashara,
its face is always smiling.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			He's always at the first row of
the masjid and the right corner.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			Regardless which Salah you will
find them you will find him there.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			The kids used to love him they run
at him because he always have some
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			candies in his pocket. He always
have this he always leaves this
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:57
			good vibe around him good energy,
you just love to go and to stay
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			beside Subhanallah
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			brother, Basharat. Last year
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			in New Jersey in February,
actually this year, hon Allah this
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			February in New Jersey was was was
very cold. We had a huge
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			snowstorm.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			And that was the second week of
February, the beginning of the
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			week.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			We got a call that brother passed
away, we went to bury him. And it
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			was extremely cold. We couldn't
even stay there for you know, five
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			minutes we bury the brother we
make quick to and we left.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:40
			And then towards the you know, the
end of this week, same week.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			We got a notification that brother
Bashara passed away.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			And subhanAllah it was very last
minute.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			I you know, of course I made it to
his graveyard. and wallah he over
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:02
			there. I so a miracle Wallahi a
miracle.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Number one.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			It was a very last minute. But
every single chef from that
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			community made it to his
graveyard. The scholars in North
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:20
			Jersey, made it to his graveyard
Subhanallah he is not famous, and
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			like the old Arab used to say
Aruba, matura, and fill out the
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			memoriam for sama or Obama more
than much holding summit that
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			someone might be not that famous
in the earth. But he's well known
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			in the heart in the heavens and
the sky, and maybe someone who's
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			very famous in the earth, but he's
absolutely unknown in the sky. So
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			we ask Allah to make rather
Bashara very known in the heavens
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			in the sky.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:51
			That day, I saw a lot of scholars
coming to his graveyard to make
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			the art for him.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			And then Allah subhanaw taala has
changed the weather completely.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:03
			It was 65 degrees. It was nice and
warm. We stayed on his graveyard
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			Wallahi about an hour, remembering
this brother, making dua for him,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			making reflections about death
over his graveyard. He got the
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:19
			honor of all of these guys and all
of these remembrance of his legacy
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:26
			SubhanAllah 30 years working for
funeral service, and now it's his
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			own funeral. And Allah subhanaw
taala has given him this reward.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			May Allah subhanaw taala make us
among those who leave a legacy in
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			this earth. And may Allah subhanaw
taala make some of those who will
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			be remembered once we go to our
grave. mean me noble Alameen Jessa
