    Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah Which means, as we discussed, Allah SWT said, Every living soul will taste death. Every living soul will taste death. And only on the Day of Judgment will you see, will you receive your full reward. And the one who is freed from the hellfire and entered into Jannah, only that person is successful. And the life of this world is nothing but deception. So we looked at the first three of these things in the last few days. Today we look at the last one. Omalhayatudunya, illa mata'ul quroor. Again, the bayan of the Quran, Allah SWT is emphasizing through the grammar. When we say mal, we say wa ma'al. That's how the two are connected. Nothing but. Allah is saying this dunya, this life of this dunya is nothing but deception. So what is the deception? What is the deception? Now, maybe some of you will say, now with AI and all the fake videos and all that. This is all superficial. This is all, this is not deception. We know it is deception. See, for a deception to be successful, you must believe it. If you are seeing something fake, you know it's fake. Where is the deception? There is no deception. For something to be deception, you must believe that it's true. Right? Then only it is, otherwise where is it? You can see it is false. You know, you are saying it's false. There is no deception. To give you an example, I was many, many years ago, I was in California, in San Francisco. I was, went there to teach a course and reached there one evening. The course was next morning. The whole evening was free. And there was a, right opposite my hotel, in the Marriott, right opposite the Marriott, there was a huge theatre, which was a 3D theatre. So, I decided to go see that movie. So, it was something about sharks. So, they give you those 3D glasses, goggles, and you sit there and the, it was two or three, there was one part about sharks, there was another one about the, you know, the, you know, the sharks. There was another one about the, about the universe and so on. So, you sit in the special chairs and the chairs also kind of move to, you know, give you a, an experience of reality. And really, without, without any, this is like maybe almost 30, 35 years ago. To this day, I remember it. It was so powerful. And I can tell you that through that whole movie, it was literally, in the sharks movie, it was like the shark was going to come out of the screen and, you know, swallow me or something. That real. And if at that time, if you had, you know, attached sensors to my body, you would have seen how my blood pressure and electrical impulses in the brain and everything else, how they would have been working. Right? And at that time, if you asked me, do you remember why you are here? Why did you come to San Francisco? What is going to happen tomorrow morning? Nothing. All of that is gone. I am in the movie. I am literally in the sea with the shark. But that is deception. That is the deception. Because I'm not in the, I'm not in with the shark. I'm not, I'm not in the movie. I'm not in the movie. I'm not in the movie. I'm not in the movie. I'm not in the shark. I'm not in any danger. I'm not in the sea. But I believe I am. Right? And you don't need to go into a 3D theatre to, to, to feel all this. Movies are a good thing to understand something which are much more important than the movie. But any movie you see, if it's a sad scene, you are affected. You feel sad. Right? You might even cry. If it's a happy scene, you will feel happy. But you know yourself that what is happening on the screen is all acting. If somebody is dying, he's not dying. If somebody is, some, someone's heart is broken, it's not broken. If somebody is, you know, in some sort of situation or desperation, they're not. It's all acting. We know this. But we are completely hooked into that. So if you are crying in the movies, why are you crying? Are you stupid? I mean, why, why are you crying? Because that's a thing happening there. It's not happening there. It's a, it's a, it's an action. You know, it's a, it's a script of a, of a movie. It's play acting. Why are you crying? But we get so involved. So the deception of this world, which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has created, is not Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney Disney ...

    Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Suppose you go to a bank manager, suppose you are an auditor, you go to the bank to audit the accounts, and you ask the bank manager, what is the balance, what is in your safe? He tells you, oh, I have lots of money. Are you mad? I mean, what kind of answer is that? What do you mean, lots of money? You go to the teller. What's your... Huh? How much do you have cash? No, I've got lots of money. I don't have enough. What answer is that? Give me a number, man. Give me a number. If you don't give me a number, as far as I'm concerned, you are sacked right now. Get out. This is what will happen to us on the Day of Judgment. That is what will happen to us on the Day of Judgment. I'll come back to this ayat. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in another place in the Quran, O you who believe, He's not talking about believers. Save yourself and your family from the fire. From the fire. If you don't have enough, Allah will give you money. That's it. Our Heaven is a garden. It's in a corner. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in another place in the Quran, Save yourself and save your family from the fire. The fuel of the fire is what? Is people, and нас, and stones, The fire which is so fierce and so hot, it will burn stones, lava, liquid rock, liquid fire. وَعَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَازٌ لَا يُعَاسُونَ اللَّهَ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُمَرُونَ And on that fire are established Malaika who are extremely severe, fierce, and they do what their Rabb has ordered them to do. They won't say, Arre Sahib, Arre, Chande Chhor De, no, no, no. So, فَمَنْ زُهْزِعَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَأَسْحَابِ الْجَنَّةِ اللهم جعلنا من أصحاب الجنة إن شاء الله وَلَّمْ مِنْ أَسْحَابِ الجَنَّةِ وَلَّمْ مِنْ أَسْحَابِ الجَنَّةِ The Hadith of Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه Abdullah ibn Masud رضي الله عنه One of the greatest of the Sahaba of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم He narrated, the Hadith in Tirmidhi That Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said The feet of the son of the children of Adam عليه السلام will not move from before their rub until they answer five things it's four things one of those two so five feet will not move I remember I saw a movie once on the on the plane I only see movies on the planes because we got long flights so you know see the movies so one movie I saw was a movie what a prison some story about this so in that prison the prisoners they are wearing shoes boots with metal soles the sole of the shoe of the boot is metal and all the corridors in that prison are made of steel mesh so you can imagine metal shoes on a steel mesh and metal shoes on a steel mesh and metal shoes on a steel mesh it's a big racket when they walk is a bang bang back so I'm thinking to myself why do we have this and they show a scene where there is a fight starts and the minute the fight starts the prison guards they throw a switch and when they throw the switch this mesh gets magnetized the electromagnet so the feet of those as they are running they are running and they are running and they are when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when with the time I gave you?

    Auto-generated transcript:May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. May Allah be with you. Allah said which means every living thing will taste death. Your full reward will be paid to you on the day of judgment. The one who has been saved from the hellfire and entered into Jannah, only that person is successful. And the life of this world is deception. We talked about the time of death. We talked about death itself. Today we will talk about the second phase which Allah SWT said Allah said on the day of judgment you will receive your full reward. Now the thing to understand is that Allah is saying you will receive the full reward on the day of judgment. It doesn't mean that you will not receive any reward until then. This is the way. This is the mistake. People who deny the conditions of the grave, the Azabul Qabr, the Sahabul Qabr and they say there is no Azabul Qabr and there is only judgment day, judgment will be done. If that is the case then what do we do with the mention of the Azabul Qabr, specifically mention of Azabul Qabr in the Quran? Allah SWT mentioned and said that the Fir'aun and his people are shown, the fire, morning and night. And on the day of judgment they will be returned towards the worst of punishment. Two specifically separate things. If you want to deny the Azabul Qabr then what do you say about the dua of Rasulullah himself? Which is the last dua we make in Tashahud when we finish our salah. And many of the walama and ayima have said that your salah is incomplete if you don't make this dua. Allahumma inni a'uz bika min azabil qabri wa minal naar. Begins with this. Allahumma inni a'uz bika min azabil qabri wa minal naar wa na'uz bika min fitnatil mahyai wa mamat wa min fitnatil masihil dajan. This dua, you have to memorize it and do it. If you are not doing it in Tashahud then your salah is not complete. It begins with O Allah I seek your protection from the azabul Qabr. And the azab of the fire. Two separate things. And Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam himself is asking this. Allahumma inni a'uz bika. I am myself. Ya Allah I am asking. So if the Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is seeking refuge from the azab of the Qabr. Obviously it does not apply to him. This is a thing which he is teaching us. And this is something which he is saying to. Because Allah SWT commanded him to teach us. What does it mean? It means there is an azabul Qabr. Again all of these are not things for us to debate with people and to argue and so on. When you go into the Qabr you will know. So if somebody tells you there is no azabul Qabr. No problem brother. What do you think? I don't think. I do not think. When there is a text. When the Kalam of Allah is before me I don't think. What is there to think? Allah SWT is saying something. You want me to think over this? Allah SWT is saying something. You want me to think over this? What kind of delusion is that? What do you think? What is the value of my opinion? Nothing. Zero. So don't get into any arguments. What Allah has said, Allah has said. And our job is to inform. Our job is to inform. Nothing more. And then information has come to us from Rasulullah SAW. So Allah is saying full reward. Now what happens in between? Nabi SAW described in terms of the azabul Qabr. He described different things that happen. There is azab of the fire. There is azab of snakes. There is azab. There is azab of people who have illegally occupied or usurped other people's property, land especially. Nabi SAW said in the Qabr he is, he will be hammered with a hammer, with an iron hammer on his head, which will send him down seven earths. Then he will come back and be smashed again, goes down seven earths. And this will continue until the day of judgment. Allah. celebr celebr celebr celebr celebr celebr celebr celebr celebr If you have deliberately left Salah, you could pray, you did not pray, nobody can help you. Nobody can help you. It doesn't matter what else you did. It does not matter what else you did. Maybe you did Hajj, maybe you did, you fasted. We have a peculiar situation. We have people who fast all of Ramadan, but they won't pray. So fasting is also like a cultural thing. Everybody in the house is fasting. If you fast, you will get a party. Fasting is a fast. Can you believe it? The Adab of the Qabar is real. Then on the Day of Judgement, and again the opposite is also real. The Saab of the Qabar. In the Qabar itself, Allah SWT will give us a taste of the Qabar. Jannah. We ask Allah SWT for this.
