I'm going to be talking about a few

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

verses towards the end of Surah Al-A

00:00:11 --> 00:00:17

'raf in which Allah describes how the disbelievers

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

came to the Prophet and asked him when

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

the Day of Judgment is going to take

00:00:23 --> 00:00:23

place.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

So we find that in many places in

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

the Quran people have come to the Prophet

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

and in a taunting fashion, in a ridiculing

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

fashion, they used to ask him when will

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

the Day of Judgment take place.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:41

For example, وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنْتُمْ

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

صَادِقِينَ They say that when will this promise

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

take place if you are truthful?

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

This is found in multiple places in the

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

Quran.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

يَسْتَعَجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا

00:00:53 --> 00:00:58

مُشْرِحُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا الْحَقِّ The people that

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02

don't have Iman in it, they are telling

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

you to make it come quickly.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

يَسْتَعَجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا As for

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

the people that have Iman, وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مُشْرِحُونَ

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

مِنْهَا They are afraid of it.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

So, this was the attitude that the disbelievers

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

had and they used to come and in

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

a ridiculing fashion ask the Prophet ﷺ when

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

the Day of Judgment is going to take

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25

place.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

So, this is a selection of verses which

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

talk about the same idea.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

So, they say, يَسْعَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ إِيَّا نَمُرْسَهَا

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

They are asking you, O Prophet of Allah,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

about the Sa'ah.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

Sa'ah literally translated means hour, but in

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

the context in which we are talking, it

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

means the hour of the Day of Judgment.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

That when will it take place?

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

إِيَّا نَمُرْسَهَا When will the event take place?

00:01:53 --> 00:01:58

Allah SWT tells the Prophet ﷺ, قُلْ إِنَّمَا

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ Tell them, O Prophet of

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06

Allah, that indeed its knowledge is with my

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

Lord, meaning only Allah SWT knows about when

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

that day will take place.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْطِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ Allah SWT did

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

not expose the time of it except to

00:02:20 --> 00:02:20

Himself.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

Only He knows when it will take place.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ It is heavy in

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

the heavens and the earth.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

So this has different meanings.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ means that people will

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

not be able to bear the knowledge of

00:02:37 --> 00:02:37

it.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

If they were told, they will not be

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

able to bear the knowledge of it.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

And another meaning is that when it takes

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

place, it is going to be heavy on

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

the dwellers of the people of the earth

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

and the skies.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

So when it happens, it's not going to

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

be something easy.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

It's going to be very, very difficult and

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

it's going to be hard, not something that

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

will be easy for people.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

So ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ heavy upon the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

people.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

And there are also other meanings described by

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

the scholars for this particular verse.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً It will only come

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

to you suddenly.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

When it comes, it will come suddenly.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

So according to a Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

mentioned that people will be going about their

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

day-to-day activities.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

Somebody will have milked his cow or camel

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

and he's just about to drink the milk

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

of it and the Qiyamah will come.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

And a person will be fixing his house

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

or well.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

He's going to be repairing it and the

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

Qiyamah will come.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

And a person will have put out the

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

meal to eat and before he puts it

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

in his mouth, the Day of Judgment will

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

come.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

This actually reminds me, this Hadith, reminds me

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

of an event that took place thousands of

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

years ago in ancient Rome in a place

00:03:59 --> 00:04:04

called Vesuvius in Pompeii on the foot of

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

Mount Vesuvius.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

And what happened there, this is a volcano

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

that erupted and it erupted in such a

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

way that it came suddenly upon the people

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

and the lava, it covered them in such

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

a way that their mummified bodies were found

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

many thousands of years later.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

And, you know, it looks like somebody is

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

sleeping and it looks like somebody is sitting

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

about to start eating.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

And you can find these pictures online.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

The spelling is Pompeii, P-O-M-P

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

-E-I-I.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

Or you just put Mount Vesuvius and you'll

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

see these pictures of people basically going about

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

their day-to-day activities and doing their

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

things on a daily basis and suddenly this

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

punishment comes and they are as if they

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

are trapped in a time capsule and they

00:04:59 --> 00:05:03

can be seen doing their day-to-day

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

activities so that hadith, when I read that,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

reminded me of that event that took place

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

in history.

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

So, la ta'ti'kum illa baghta, it will

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

only come to you suddenly.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

Yas'alunaka ka'annaka hathiwan anha.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

They are asking you, O Prophet of Allah,

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

as if you are knowledgeable about it, as

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

if you have the knowledge about it, whereas

00:05:25 --> 00:05:25

you don't.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

Qul innama ilmuha inda Allah, walakinna aktharan nasi

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

la ya'lamun.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

Tell them, O Prophet of Allah, that indeed

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

its knowledge is with Allah SWT, but most

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

people are not aware.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

They do not know.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

Most people, they do not know.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

Only Allah SWT knows about its knowledge.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

Insha'Allah, I'll come back to the amarat

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

or the signs of the Day of Judgment

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

in a minute.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

But it goes on to talk about something

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

very important and that is the issue of

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

the Prophet A.S. whether he was a

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

'alimul ghayb or not.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03

This is a discussion that takes place, especially

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

in the Indian subcontinent amongst various sects.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

Some say that he knew the knowledge of

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

the unseen, he was a'alimul ghayb, and

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

others say that he didn't, whereas the proof

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

is very, very clear that the Prophet A

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

.S. only knew the knowledge that he was

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

given by Allah SWT.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

He was not a'alimul ghayb.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

And these verses, they indicate that.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

So, the next thing, قُلْ لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِهِ

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

نَفْعٌ وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهِ Tell

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

them, O Prophet of Allah, that I have

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

no control over myself in terms of benefit

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

or harm except what Allah SWT wishes.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Meaning, I cannot even control anything.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

Allah SWT, when He wants to harm, He

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

sends that harm.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

If He wants to benefit, He sends the

00:06:51 --> 00:06:51

benefit.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

Nothing is in my hands.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

So, again, this is the foolishness of those

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

people that make du'a at the grave

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

of the Prophet A.S. Many people think

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

that if I go there and I make

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

du'a and ask the Prophet A.S.,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

then he's going to help me in some

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

way.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

But this is very clear that even I

00:07:09 --> 00:07:13

don't have the power to benefit myself or

00:07:13 --> 00:07:13

harm myself.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

It is all in the hands of Allah

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

SWT.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

And then the next ayah is the point.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَسْتَكْفَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ If

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

I knew the knowledge of the unseen, then

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

I would be able to attain a lot

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

of khayr, a lot of good, meaning I

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

would know where to dig for gold.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

I would know where to avoid going to

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

a certain place to avoid being harmed.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

But the Prophet A.S., he did not

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

have ilm al-ghayb and he went into

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

situations where he got into trouble, he got

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

stoned, and he went through so many difficulties.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

So he says, if I was a alim

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

al-ghayb, then lastakthartum min al-khayr I

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

would be able to attain a lot of

00:07:59 --> 00:07:59

khayr.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

وَمَا مَسَّنِي يَسُوّ And no harm would ever

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

come to me.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِقَوْمِ يُؤْمِنُونَ Indeed,

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

I am only a warner and a giver

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

of glad tidings for people of iman.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

That's my responsibility.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

I'm a human being who has been given

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

this responsibility of warning people and warning people

00:08:22 --> 00:08:29

about going against Allah SWT and giving glad

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

tidings to those people that obey Allah SWT

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

and follow my sunnah.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

That's my responsibility only.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

Other than that, I'm simply a human being.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

لِقَوْمِ يُؤْمِنُونَ And this is, I'm a warner

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

and giver of glad tidings for people that

00:08:44 --> 00:08:44

have iman.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

Now going back to the issue of the

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

Day of Judgment, there are many hadith that

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

talk about the amarat and the signs of

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

the Day of Judgment.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

And one of the most famous ones is

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

the hadith of Jibreel AS when the Prophet

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

SAW had a discussion with Jibreel AS who

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

had come in the shape of a human

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

and they had questions and answers that took

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

place in front of the Sahaba just to

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

educate the Sahaba.

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

And then at the end of the hadith,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

the Prophet SAW informed the people that this

00:09:14 --> 00:09:14

was Jibreel.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

أَتَاكُمْ لِيُعَلِّمَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ He came to teach you

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

your religion.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

So amongst the questions and answers that took

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

place was Jibreel AS asked the Prophet SAW

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

متى الساعة So the Prophet SAW responded by

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

saying مَا الْمَسْئُولُ بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ The person

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

who's being questioned, meaning myself, doesn't have more

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

knowledge than even the one who's questioning.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

So then Jibreel AS asked فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَاتِهَا

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

Then tell me about its signs.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

So the Prophet SAW went through some of

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

the signs that Allah SWT had told him

00:09:51 --> 00:09:51

about.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

He said أَنْ تَلِذَا الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا You will

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

find that a slave girl will give birth

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

to her own master.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

And there are many interpretations of this and

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

one of the most popular interpretations is that

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

people will become disrespectful to their parents.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:12

So much so that the child, the children,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

will start to treat their parents as if

00:10:16 --> 00:10:16

they are slaves.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

So the slave girl will give birth to

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

her own master.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

And then the hadith goes on to say

00:10:23 --> 00:10:29

وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَٓاءِ يَتَطَوَنُونَ

00:10:29 --> 00:10:33

فِي الْبُنِيَانِ You will find that shepherds who

00:10:33 --> 00:10:38

are naked of head, naked feet, and they

00:10:38 --> 00:10:41

are shepherds, they are basically tending to sheep,

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

they start to compete with each other in

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

building tall buildings.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

يَتَطَوَنُونَ فِي الْبُنِيَانِ Now in the time of

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

the Prophet ﷺ there was no concept of

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

tall buildings.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

There was a concept of big buildings maybe,

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

make a big building.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

But the Prophet ﷺ specifically used the word

00:11:01 --> 00:11:06

طول From the word طول يَتَطَوَنُونَ means competing

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

with each other in طول, in the length

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

of the buildings.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:11

And this is what's going on now.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

In the Middle East you have a competition

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

to build the tallest buildings.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

In Dubai you have the Burj Khalifa, then

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

you have the Zamzam Tower right next to

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

the Kaaba, huge tall building, tall structure.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

And now in Jeddah to compete with the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Prince Talal has decided

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

that he is going to build a building

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

in Jeddah which is going to be one

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

mile tall, the tallest building in the world.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

So if you go back to the history

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

of these people in the Middle East before

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

oil came, they were just Bedouins tending to

00:11:47 --> 00:11:47

sheep and so on.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

And now the oil wealth came and even

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

that is going through difficulty these days.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

But using that oil wealth to build these

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

tall buildings it is basically fulfilling the thing

00:12:00 --> 00:12:03

that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned to us 1400

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

years ago.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

So this is one hadith and there are

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

other hadith which talk about things that if

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15

you reflect upon them you will find that

00:12:15 --> 00:12:16

those things are going on.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

The Prophet ﷺ he mentioned that the day

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

of judgment will not come until people will

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

talk into their shoulders or in their thighs.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

What does that mean?

00:12:25 --> 00:12:29

Maybe it means that the person will have

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

a cell phone on his shoulder and he

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

is basically talking or a phone on his

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

shoulder and he is talking, walking around.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

Thigh, I don't know, maybe some form of

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

communication device that a person will put in

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

his pocket and the headphone is close to

00:12:45 --> 00:12:45

him.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

That is possibly what is meant.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:53

Another hadith says that the day of judgment

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

will not come until people will have a

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

piece of cloth that is hanging on their

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

walls and it will be displaying forms of

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

fitna.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

What is that?

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

Projector maybe, projector which has, which projects the

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

image onto the wall.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

Projector is made out of cloth and it

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

gives images of fitna, trials, tribulations, news that

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

we see and fitna in the form of

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

movies that people watch nowadays.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

So there are many hadith which talk about

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

various things that will take place which we

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

are seeing some signs of which we can

00:13:30 --> 00:13:34

interpret as Allah knows really if that is

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

what is meant but it is quite possible

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

from the signs that this is what the

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

Prophet ﷺ was referring to.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

And there are other hadith too which I

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46

won't go into.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

But in any case, I would just like

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

to finish off by referring to a hadith

00:13:52 --> 00:13:57

of the Prophet ﷺ in which an Arabi,

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

a villager came to the Prophet ﷺ and

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

asked him the same question.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

And the hadith says that this Arabi came

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

and he says, Ya Muhammad, you know in

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

a very rough way, Oh Muhammad.

00:14:08 --> 00:14:11

So the Prophet ﷺ was, he was such

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

an expert in discussing and dialogue and he

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

responded back the same way saying, Ha, what

00:14:17 --> 00:14:17

do you want?

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

There is another hadith in which the Prophet

00:14:21 --> 00:14:26

ﷺ was approached by a person whose dialect

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

was, it used to have meme in it.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

And he asked him, Hal min birrim siyamim

00:14:34 --> 00:14:34

fim safar?

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

That means, Hal minal birri al siyamuh fis

00:14:38 --> 00:14:38

safar?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

The Prophet ﷺ responded back by saying, in

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

exactly his same dialogue, in the same dialect,

00:14:45 --> 00:14:48

he responded by saying, Laysa min birrim siyamim

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

fim safar?

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

In his dialogue, in his dialect, exactly the

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

same accent.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

So this Arabi, he came to the Prophet

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

ﷺ and said, Ya Muhammad.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

The Prophet ﷺ responded by saying, Ha.

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

And then, he said, Mata sa'a?

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

When is the Day of Judgment going to

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04

take place?

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

The Prophet ﷺ kind of swept everything aside.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

He said, Inna sa'a atiyah?

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

The Day of Judgment is coming.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

Whether you like it or not, it's coming.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

Fama a'adattalaha?

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

What did you prepare for it?

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

And that's the question we need to ask

00:15:21 --> 00:15:21

ourselves.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

People get fascinated with lectures about the Day

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

of Judgment and the Dajjal and Imam Mahdi

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

and all of these things.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

The real question is, what are we doing

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

to prepare for it?

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

The Prophet ﷺ basically sidelined all of the

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

discussion and asked him straight up, What did

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

you prepare for it?

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

And the Bedouin, he replied in a very

00:15:42 --> 00:15:42

simple way too.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

He said, I didn't prepare something big.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

The only thing I know is, Muhibbullah wa

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

Rasoolah.

00:15:49 --> 00:15:54

And, I have not done much preparation, but

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

I do know that I love Allah and

00:15:56 --> 00:15:56

the Prophet.

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

So the Prophet ﷺ responded by saying, Al

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

mar'u ma'a man ahab.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

The person will be with those that he

00:16:05 --> 00:16:05

loves.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

Meaning on the Day of Judgment.

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

So, the question to ourselves should be, not

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

what signs of the Day of Judgment have

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

come or will come.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

The question is, what are we doing to

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

prepare ourselves for it?

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

And, in our day-to-day lives, we

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

should be thinking.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

The obedience of Allah ﷻ, staying away from

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

the Nawahi, the things that He has forbidden,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

preparing our children also to become good, practicing

00:16:31 --> 00:16:36

Muslims, preparing the next generation, preparing institutions to

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

make sure that the next generation is protected.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

These are the things that we can do.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

And these are the things that are in

00:16:44 --> 00:16:44

our hands.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

Other than that, when the Day of Judgment

00:16:46 --> 00:16:47

comes, it will come.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

The question is, that, what are we doing

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

to prepare ourselves with these things that I've

00:16:54 --> 00:16:54

just mentioned?

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

I pray that Allah ﷻ gives us Tawfiq,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

understanding and practice for as we've said in

00:16:58 --> 00:16:58

here.
