00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			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.
