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.
