00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			I wanna quickly tell you a story
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			about the saddest day in human history.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			The saddest day in human history
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			that led to
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			1 of, if not the greatest periods of
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			enlightenment
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			in human history until the day of judgment.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			This day happened
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			over a 1000 years ago.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			had been suffering an illness
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			for quite some time.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			His illness was so severe that he cannot
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			even leave his home
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			to lead salah
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			and his own masjid.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			So in his absence, he appointed his best
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			friend, 1 of the earliest of Muslims,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			1 of the best of us,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			the first to enter Jannah after the Andia,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Abu Bakr as Sadiq
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			to lead in his place.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			On this particular day,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Abu Bakr had taken permission from the Prophet
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			to visit some relatives in a suburb of
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Medina
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			known
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			as Saqifa.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was in
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			the house of his beloved wife, Aisha
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			If you don't understand that this is the
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			saddest day in human history,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			then do some more digging deep inside of
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			your heart, and the love that you should
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			have for the Prophet
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			He was in
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			1 of the companions, the name literally just
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			slipped my mind. 1 of the companions came
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			in,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			and he was holding a siwak
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			in his hand. We know the
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			Prophet loved
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			the siwak. He even said
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			that, If I did not think it would
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			be a burden upon you, I would have
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			ordered you to use the siwak before every
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			salah.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Aisha
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			knowing her husband,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			she saw him looking at the siwak.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And so she asked him, Do you want
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			it, O Messenger of Allah? And he nodded
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			and said, Yes.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			So she took that suwak,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			softened it with her own saliva,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			and then brushed his most blessed teeth.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			That brushing would become the last thing
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			he would ever
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			taste
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			in this life.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			At that moment, it was
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			unrealized by Aisha
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			But the Angel of death had presented itself
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			to our most beloved Prophet
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			The best of Allah's creation,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			the best thing that Allah has ever created,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			was our beloved Prophet
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			The best of His creation.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			The Angel of death has presented himself to
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			our Prophet
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			And the Prophet
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			told us that when the angel of death
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			presents himself to the Nba,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			he has to do 2 things. For you
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			and I, the conversation will be one-sided.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			He will present himself to us and he
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			would tell the soul to come out. It
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			will either be, O blessed soul, come out
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			to the mercy of Allah
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			and His pleasure, Or O ul khabif soul,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			come out to the anger of Allah and
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			His wrath? There's
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			no
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			negotiation. But with the anbia,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			they have such a high status that even
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			the angel of death has to take permission
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			to take their soul.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			And before he asked them to take their
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:32
			soul,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			he shows them their place in jannah.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			He shows them their place in paradise,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			and then he gives them a choice
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			to either go
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			to this place and be with Allah
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			or spend a little bit more time with
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			your people.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			So this was happening, and Aisha was unbeknownst.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			She did not realize it. But she said,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			I saw the Prophet
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			began to look at the roof of my
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			house,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			and he started to smile.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			What is he looking at? He's looking at
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			the pinnacle of Jannah. He's looking at the
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			highest point of Jannah, above which there is
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			nothing except
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			except the Arsh of Allah There is no
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			more higher inhabitable place in paradise,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			other than the place of our beloved
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			Messenger After his 23 years of turmoil, after
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			his 23 years of sacrifice,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			after so much that he had done for
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			this ummah, so much that he had done
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			for mankind, he has been showing his final
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			resting place,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			and the angel of death is giving him
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			the choice.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Do you want to go here? Or do
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			you wanna stay with your people a little
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			while longer? Realize how much he loved us
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			by the way. He loved us so much,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			but for sure
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			he loved Allah
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			the most.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			She said, I heard him began to see,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			began to say,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			Allahumma rafiqalala. Allahumma
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			rafiqalala.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Oh Allah, the companion who is on the
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			Most High. O Allah, the companion who is
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Most High. O Allah, the companion who is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Most High. She said, At that moment, I
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			realized that the
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			most
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			blessed
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			soul, the Then the angel of death
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			took the most blessed soul that Allah has
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			ever created,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			and He placed it in the highest ranks
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			of jannah that have ever
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			existed. That is the saddest moment in the
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			history of humanity.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			You must concept that. That is the saddest
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			moment that the history of humanity will ever
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			face,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			was the death of the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			There are many companions who realize this.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			When Aisha spread this news,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			the companions
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			had no idea what to do.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			1 of the greatest of the companions,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			his name Umar ibn
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			Khattab
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			A man's man.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			A man who was so strong in his
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			faith that the Prophet
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			said that if he was on a road,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			and shaitaan happened to be on that same
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			road, shaitaan would divert his path in order
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			not to confront Umar ibn al Khattab directly.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			The same man whom the Prophet
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			said that, There will be no Prophet after
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			me, but if there were to be 1,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			it would be Umar ibn Khattab.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			This Umar, when he heard the news that
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			the Prophet
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			had died,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			he could not accept it.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			He could not accept it.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			This is a man whom he learned to
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			love more than his own soul that was
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			in his body that Allah created for him.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			You remember the story when he told the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Prophet Oh Messenger of Allah, there is no
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			1 on this earth I love more than
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			you, more than my own soul. And he
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			said, O Umar, you must love me more
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			than you love your own soul. He said,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			I love you more than I love my
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			own soul.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			He lost it on that day.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			He pulled out a sword and started threatening
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			people.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			This is the
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			same
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			that less than 2 decades before
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			had that exact same sword in his hand,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			and was on his way to kill the
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam in his mission.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Now less than 2 decades later, he has
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			the same sword in his hand because he
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			cannot bear to think to live a day
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			on this earth without his most beloved.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			He could not wrap his mind around waking
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			up and on a day when the Prophet
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Muhammad
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			is not on this earth.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			So he started threatening the people in Mashul
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			Nabawi and said, If you say that Muhammad
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			is dead, I will kill you myself. He
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			went to be with Allah just like Musa
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			went to be with Allah, and he will
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			come back to us. He has to come
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			back to us. We cannot live without him.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			This is the greatest man to walk the
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			face of this earth after the Anba and
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			Abu Bakr. This is the best of us,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			and he's losing it.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			When the message reads Abu Bakr
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			he immediately rushes from saqifa
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			and runs into the house of his daughter,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			Aisha
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			And he sees the Prophet is
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			covered by a sheet.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			He removes that cover
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			and he smiles
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			at his best friend.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			His best friend, his most beloved,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			his trusted companion,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			the person whom he loved the most on
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			this life.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			And he smiled and he kissed his forehead
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			and said, You are even more beautiful in
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			death
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			than you were in life. And he was
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			the most handsome that Allah ever created.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			Then he covered him back up, and he
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			walked out to the masjid, and he saw
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			the commotion
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			that was going on. He saw Umar threatening
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			people.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			Look at the wisdom of the Prophet
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			in putting him in his place.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			He told Umar, he said, Chill out. Calm
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			down. And he got up on the mimbar
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			And he said his famous statement, O people,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			if you worshiped Muhammad
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			Muhammad is dead,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			as we all will die. But if you
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			worshiped Allah,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			then know that Allah is al Hay. He
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			is the 1 who lives and never dies.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			And then he quoted the verse, If he
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			dies or is killed, will you then turn
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			back on your heels?
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			Omar said when he heard this verse, it
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			is as if he had heard it again
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			for the first time, and his legs could
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			not support him even when he fell.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			This is the saddest day in human history.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			It was understood the most by a woman,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			an old woman.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			Her name was Ayman
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			If you want to know who Ayman is,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			you have to go very far back into
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			the seerah of the Prophet
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			She is the woman who took care of
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			him after the death of his mother Amina.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			And he referred to her as ummi after
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			my ummi,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			mother after my mother.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			Whenever she would walk into the room, he
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			would get up and give her his place.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			He would treat her the same way you
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			should treat your mother. If you want to
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			look at this
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			the the the prophetic way of treating your
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			mother, look at the way in the suiry
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			he treated Umayman.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			She watched him grow up. She watched him
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			become a prophet. She watched him get turned
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			on. She watched him get banished. She watched
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			the hijra. She watched all the battles. She
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			watched Fathul Makkah,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			and then she watched him die.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			On that day when Umar and Abu Bakr
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			told her what happened, she began to cry
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			profusely.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			And they tried to comfort her by saying,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			Don't worry, Aiman.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			It's okay. Where he has gone is much
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			better than where he has stayed with us
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			for these past 23 years.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			This is what we have to understand.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			She said, I am not crying because of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			his death.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			Every soul is going to die.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			She said, I am crying
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			because
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			the has stopped.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			She understood the real implications of the death
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			of the last messenger of Allah.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			That with his death, Allah would stop revealing
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			to us. With his death, Allah would stop
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			speaking to us in the form of revelation.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			There would be no more
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			verses revealed from Allah
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			Allah would never speak to us directly again
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			in the form of this revelation
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			until the day of judgement when we stand
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			in front of him.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			That was the real sadness for her is
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			that the beautiful words from Allah
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			that we used We used to wait for
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			them, we used to ask the messenger of
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			Allah questions
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			just so that we could hear
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			from Allah
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			Because every single verse of the Quran is
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			kalamullah.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			It is the speech of Allah It is
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			your Creator
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			talking directly to you in an intimate conversation.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			She knew that that had come to an
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08
			end.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			And when Abu Bakr and Umar realized this,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			they began to cry as well.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			But they understood something about that
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			gravity
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			that we have in the west as a
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			majority of this ummah failed to understand.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			They understood that yes, maybe Allah has stopped
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:28
			speaking,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			but that is only because he has said
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			everything He needed to say.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			Allah has stopped revealing things to us only
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			because He said everything
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39
			He needed
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			to say.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			And the very last thing he said to
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			us,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			And fear a day in which you will
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			be turned to Allah. This was revealed a
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			few days before the death of the Prophet
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			But they understood something about that. They understood
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			that yes, the revelation may have stopped,
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			but that does not mean that people have
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			to stop hearing Allah speak to them.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			And they knew, they knew
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			that the only way
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			that the anyone else, anyone else on this
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			planet other than the Muslims who existed at
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			the time would ever hear Allah speak to
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			them again was if they went out and
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			did the job of conveying the message
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			of the awwah.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			The same thing that was commanded from the
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			Prophet
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			That was commanded to him and it was
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			left to us. The same thing that Allah
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala described and says,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			I call it to Allah by Allah's permission
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			and a lamp giving beautiful light. The same
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			thing when Allah
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			commanded him to say,
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			Say, I This is my path. I call
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			to Allah upon sure knowledge.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			Me and those who follow me. They understood
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			that if we go out and share this
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			message with mankind,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			it will continue.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			And it did continue
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			They did their job impeccably. This is why
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			Allah says about them,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			They are the best nation to have ever
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			come forward for mankind.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			And then the generation after them, they did
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			it. The generation after them, they did it.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			They followed the order of Allah that there
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			must always be a group from amongst you
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			that are calling to that which is good
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			and forbidding that which is evil.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			And it is these who will be successful.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			It is because of this unbroken chain of
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			people and this ummah who have understood the
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			ramifications of the death of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			alaihi wa sallam that Islam made it to
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			you and me.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			It is because of this fact that Islam
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			has made it to the countries where you
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			grew up in and were born and raised
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			as a Muslim. It is because of this
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:01
			fact that Islam reached me in South Carolina,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			in a small town in 1998.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			even though that was the saddest day in
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			human history, it began the greatest enlightenment that
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			the world will ever know. That is the
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			enlightenment of truth.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Because of the efforts of every generation before
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			us, Islam has remained preserved in its original
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			form to this day.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			What is our job?
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			Our job is to make sure that it
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			makes it to the next generation exactly how
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			it made it to us. That is our
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			job. You have to see it as a
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			job. You have to see it as a
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			responsibility.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			You have to see it as an order
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			from Allah. You have to see it as
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			something that is paramountly important to the survival
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			of our ummah,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			and to the survival of humanity.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			I'll leave you with this,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, I believe
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			in suratulhud,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			that I will not punish a people
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			as long as there is a warner amongst
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:01
			them.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			I will not punish a people, meaning I
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			will not destroy a people like he did
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			with the people of Lut, like he did
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			with the people of A'ad, like he did
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			with the people of Thamud, like he did
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			with the people of Nuh. He said, I
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			will not punish them
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			as long as there is a warner amongst
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			them.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			As long as there is a group of
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			us on this planet who are willing to
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			go out and share the message of La'ilaha
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27
			illallah with the world, command good and forbid
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			evil, then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will continue
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			to bless us with another generation, and another
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			generation, and another generation.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			We have a decision to make, brothers and
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			sisters. We will be either be the ummah
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			that continues this lineage, continues this linkage,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			Maybe we can make a revival in it
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			because there's not enough of us doing it
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			anymore. Maybe we can make a revival in
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			it, or we can be the that begins
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			this decline. And if that happens, I promise
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			you. I promise you. I have no question
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			about this. On the day of judgment, we
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			will bear a very heavy burden.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			This last thing I will tell you.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam commanded
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			us. After Allah commanded us,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam commanded us,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			us,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			Convey from me even if it's 1 verse.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			And Allah commanded us,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			Obey Allah and obey His Messenger.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			On the day of judgment,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:21
			the Prophet
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			the greatest of mankind,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			will be given an honor that no other
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			Prophet will be given. He has given something
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			called the haud,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			the basin, or the water fountain, whatever it
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			looks like. But it will be a fountain
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			of water that will be only for this
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			umma. Only for this umma. And the Prophet
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will give each and
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			every 1 of us a sip from it
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			with his own hands.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			Can you imagine that day?
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			Can you imagine?
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			After all this time, after all this struggle,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			to walk up to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			wasallam,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			and for him to congratulate you,
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			and say, You did what I asked you
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			to do. And he hands you this water,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			and you drink from it, and after that
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			you'll never be thirsty again. You'll never you'll
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			never have any thirst ever again.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			But the Prophet
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			warned us that on that day, there will
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			be an Angel guarding his haud, and he
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			will see him pushing people back and telling
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			them to go away.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			Telling them to go away. And he will
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			go to this angel and say, Why are
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			you pushing my people back? These are my
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:26
			people.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			He will say, Yes, but you don't know
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			what they did after you.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			You don't know what they did after you.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			They did what you told them not to
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			do, and they didn't do what you told
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			them to do.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			They did what You told them not to
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			do, and they did not do what You
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			told them to do. And the prophet alaihis
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			salatu wasalam said,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			All of my ummah will enter paradise.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			We should rejoice in that. He said, All
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			of my ummah will enter paradise.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			Except for those who refuse.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			How many of you in here, by a
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			show of hands, would refuse to go to
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			paradise?
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			No? No 1?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			So how do we refuse? They said, How
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			can we refuse, oh Messenger Allah?
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			He said,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			Those who obey me, they will go to
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			paradise.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			But those who disobey Me, they have indeed
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:21
			refused.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			So let us take lesson from this most
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			horrible day in humanity with the death of
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			the prophet alaihis salatu wasalam and realize that
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			he left us with a unique opportunity
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			to share in the rewards that only the
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			NBIA were able to get, and that is
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			to go out and be the the torchbearers
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			of Tawhid in a world that is lost.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			This world has fallen into depravity,
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			debauchery,
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			all kinds of darkness.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			It is ruled by shayateen
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			in men and women's skin. This
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			world today is being ruled by men and
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			women in
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			shayateen in men and women's skin. But who
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			has the truth? We do.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			The world needs us. The world needs us.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			But it is up to us whether or
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			not we are going to do something about
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			it. So let us take some lesson from
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			this and get to work spreading this most
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			beautiful religion, this nidma from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			ta that he has given us.
