    Sabr and Salah
    Jan 11 2026
    Auto-generated transcript:We mentioned the Ayat of Allah SWT where he said, Allah SWT said, After that Ayat Allah SWT said, Allah SWT said, O you who believe, take the help. Take istiaanah. Take the help of sabr and salah. Inna Allaha ma'a sabirin. Verily Allah is with those who have sabr. Now the question is, what is sabr? The usual understanding that we seem to have of sabr is to do nothing. Sabr karo. Tu kya kano? Kuch nahi kano. Whatever is happening, just bear it in silence. Now this is a completely false and totally wrong interpretation and meaning of the word sabr. They'll give you two dalayl. One from the Quran and one from the Sunnah. The dalayl of the Quran is, in several places, Allah mentioned the mujahideen. He mentioned those who are fighting in wars. Fighting the enemies of Islam. Soldiers on the battlefield. In the front line. Allah SWT called them, He didn't call them mujahideen. Allah SWT called them sabireen. He said sabireen. And Allah said, if there are a hundred, Allah will give them. victory over a thousand. If there are a hundred, Allah will give them victory over two hundred. And so on. Allah called them sabireen. Now a soldier who is fighting in a battle. There is no one who is more engaged, who is struggling more than that soldier. He is literally fighting for his life. He has invested everything in that action. Nothing is left behind. Especially if you look at hand to hand combat. In medieval times. It's complete investment. Total commitment. Even for a second, a blink of an eye, if he loses concentration, if his attention is diverted, he is dead. Literally his life is at stake. He is not sitting like, nowadays in some bunker playing computer games. No. That kind of person engaged in that kind of activity, with that kind of commitment and total investment, Allah SWT is saying, this is a sabir. He is doing sabir. Second Dalit from the Sunnah. Rasulullah SAW, in Bahraini, he is saying, this is a sabir. He is doing sabir. He is doing sabir. Rasulullah SAW, in Badr, they were in Madinah, when they got information, that Abu Sufyan, is coming with his caravan. And this caravan has, the, the original, capital of the caravan, most of it was, the possessions of the Muhajirin, which the, people of the, the Masjid-e-Mishri, now Pankah had usurped and stolen. They took that and Abu Sufyan, had traded with that and he was coming back with the, result of that. So this caravan, really consisted of things which, came out of the possessions of the, Muhajirin. So Rasulullah SAW decided to, capture that caravan. So he was in Masjid-e-Nabawi Sharif, and he took out the caravan, and he was going, and he announced, he said, whoever is ready, come with me. So the people who went with him, the 300 and something, they were not, going for a battle. They were not prepared to go for a battle. If they were, if that had been announced, that we are going to go and there is going to be a battle, then they would have prepared, they would have had their armor, and they would have had their weapons, and so on and so forth. So they were ready to do something. So you get up and go, whatever you have, you have. So when they reached, or before they reached Badr, they got information to say that, Abu Sufyan has, changed his direction, because he got, his intelligence was very good. So he got news that, the people of Muhammad SAW, are leaving Madinah, and they are going to attack the caravan. So he changed his route, and he took a different route. So he was not going to be at Badr. On top of that, he sent a man, to Makkah, and he went on a fast camel, and when he reached the, when he reached Makkah, right at the Haram, near the Kaaba, which was the center of the town, he slashed the nose of the camel, so it was bleeding. He unsaddle the camel, and he took it to the caravan. And he said, he took the saddle, and put it upside down, and he started screaming, and yelling, and he said, oh you are finished, and your caravan is gone, and everything is looted, and all your goods are gone, and you are losers, and all kinds of things. He said, what happened? He said, he got the people together, and he came to Badr, with an army, and this was, they were going for war. This is not the same thing, like saying, let us go right now. They prepared. They had weapons, they had material, and so on. And 11 to 13 hundred of them, they were 12. And when the army was close to Badr, he got information that, the whole situation has completely changed. We were going to capture a caravan, the caravan would have had some few guards, it was not an army. But on the other hand, now we are going, if we go to Badr, then we are going to face an actual army. So he made mashwarah. He asked, he called all the people together, he went with him, there was some Ansar, there was some Maha Jiroor. He called them together, and he said, what do you advise me to do? I would like to go, and since we have set out, we don't want to turn back. But what is your ...

    Dhikr is reciprocal

    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions. Peace be upon him and upon his family. Huma Baadu, my brothers and sisters, we were talking yesterday about how do you get close to Allah. The purpose of life is to get close to Allah. And we get close to Allah through knowledge. Allah showed us how to get close to Him. Allah said, Allah said, Be grateful to me and do not be ungrateful. Make my shukr. And do not make kufr. Do not make kufran ni'mat. Do not be ungrateful for what I have given you. This shows us that it is a conditional statement. You will see in the Quran, Allah SWT mentioned many of His blessings, many things He will give. Jannah and Maghfirat and this and that. But every single thing is conditional upon something. Allah SWT did not say, don't do anything, I will still give you. Everything is conditional. Do this, you get this. Do this, you do it. Now what you get is multiples and multiples of what you do. So this is not related. Allah is not saying you have to work very hard to get a little benefit. No. You have to do the opposite. You have to do a little bit, get a huge benefit. But you have to do that little bit. . Our problem today in life is we don't want to do anything. On top of that, we want to do the opposite. We want to disobey Allah SWT and still we want a situation where if we raise our hands, the armies of angels will descend to defend us. It doesn't work like that. Sorry. So, Allah SWT, conditional statement. You make my zikr, I will make your zikr. You remember me, I remember you. . Allah SWT says, when my slave remembers me inside himself, in his heart, I remember him within myself in a way that suits my majesty and grace. When my slave remembers me in company, like we are sitting here, Alhamdulillah, Allah says, I remember him in a company superior to his. Because this is, Allah is remembering us. On his arsh. And who is around the arsh? The mukarrabin of the malaika. Right? And Nabi SAW said, when Allah SWT says, I remember you, Allah will remember you, specifically mention you by name. Allah SWT says, Zafar Ansari, Muzaffar Beg, Haviz Abbasi, and all of you. . Specific by name. Now the thing is, we need to, we all know this. I mean, this hadith I have read and heard and repeated a million times. May Allah SWT give me the ihsas, the feeling, the reality of the hadith in my heart. We need to reflect on what does it mean that my Rabb Jalla Jalaluhu is mentioning me on his arsh. What does it do to me here? What's in my heart? Ta'ala Allahu al-Amsal. Allah SWT is beyond any misal. We don't give a misal of Allah SWT, but just think about this. If you get a phone call here from a friend, somebody who says, and he remembers that he is somebody who mentioned someone else who is, you know, some prime minister, some president, somebody, some big chap, may not even need to be that big. You know, maybe your local MLA is enough for us. And he says, I had gone to this party and he was asking, where is so and so? What will you feel? Oh, this man remembered me. This man remembered me. Allah SWT is saying, I will remember you. I will remember you. Do you have a sense of that? So the remembrance being close to Allah SWT means you are somebody who Allah remembers. You are somebody who Allah SWT mentions. That's the sign of closest to Allah SWT. How will that happen? When we remember Allah. Conditional statement, you remember me, I remember you. Then Allah said, Make shukr. Be grateful to me. Do not be ungrateful. One of the, one of my favorite scholars, Ulama Muhammad Mutawalli Ash-Sharawi, Rahmatul Ali. He was a great scholar from Al-Azhar, from Egypt. He says, whenever you lose something, whatever it is, maybe you lose your wallet. Maybe you lose a business. Maybe you lose a job. Maybe you lose some aspect of health. May Allah protect us from all of these things. Maybe you lose a job. Maybe you lose a near, dear one. He says, don't think only about what you lost. Consciously think about what you still have. And you will find that what you still have is always more than what you lost. Ajiv. For example, may Allah protect us from all this. Somebody might say, so and so lost his life. He lost his eyesight. May Allah protect us from all this. He lost his life. He lost his life. May Allah protect us from all this. May Allah protect us from all this. So, eyesight loss is not a simple thing. It's a very, very major thing. It's so major that Allah said, if I take away the eyesight of my slave and he does not complain, and he says, Allah says, what else can I give him except Jannah? You lose your eyesight, which is in this world. At some level it will go, if you live long enough, it deteriorates anyway. But in exchange of that, you...

    Auto-generated transcript:As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Wa alaykum as-salamu alaykum. Bismillah wa alhamdulillah. Amdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi. Amdan yaliqu bi jalali wajhihi wa bi yadhim sultani. Wa sallallahu ala khairi khalqihi Muhammadin as-sadiq al-amin. Al-mab'uthi rahmatan lil'alamin. Wa ala alihi al-tayyibin al-tahirin. Wa ala ashabihi al-ghurri al-mayamin. Wa man tabiahum bi ihsanin ila yawm al-deen. Allahumma kthubna minhum. Ameen. Qarallahu subhanahu wa ta'ala. Ya ayyuhu alladhina amanu taqallaha haqqa taqati. Wa la tamutunna illa wa antum muslimun. We begin by praising Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who is deserving of all praise. No matter how much we praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it is not enough. Ahmad salallahu alayhi wa sallam, the one who praised Allah more than anyone else, said, Ya Allah, I cannot praise you as you deserve. You are only praised as you have praised yourself. And we send peace and blessings on the basis of the diam. best of his creation, khairu khalki, our beloved, our habib, our maula, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his noble family and his ahlul bayt. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to open our hearts to that which is useful for us in our relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that helps us to come closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in this dunya before we are presented to him in the akhirah. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reminds us, actually commands us to have taqwa and we are reminded of this ayah every Juma. Ittaqullah, have taqwa of Allah, haqqa tuqati, what Allah deserves, what is deserved. What he is deserving. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is commanding us to be in a state of taqwa throughout our lives and to die in that state because if you are in a state of taqwa, you are going to die in a state of loving submission, Islam. وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ Having submitted completely to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That we submit without questions, without whether it's easy, whether it is difficult, whether we are living in a non-Muslim country or we are living in the haram. Under all circumstances, to have taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. To be aware of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, to be conscious of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala at all times. Aware. That Allah watches me at all times. إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, and certainly Allah over you is Ar-Raqeeb, one of the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Ever watchful. Allah not only sees the external actions, but Allah sees what thoughts come to my mind. What I entertain, what I plan, what my aspirations are, what my goals are, what my likes and dislikes are, what moves me to action, what makes me feel lazy. Be aware, Allah says, be aware that Allah knows. So we must live our lives at all times with this awareness. What I'm thinking, what my goals in life are, what my likes and dislikes are, the choices I make in my life, all of that is an open book to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, even though the one sitting in front of me doesn't know what's inside me. It's open to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So live in that state, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says. So whether it is in times of difficulty. Or in times of ease. Duniya is darul bala. You are going to be challenged. That is normal circumstances. This is not jannah. So if you face difficulties, and difficulties come in different forms. It could be health challenges. It could be family challenges. It can be economic challenges. It can be social challenges. Living in a different kind of environment. All difficulties are from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to test each one of us. What is our true worth? Because everyone claims to have Iman. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that the Arab, the Bedouin said that we have believed. Aamannah. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that we have believed. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells them. No. Iman has not even entered your heart. All you can claim is that we have accepted Islam. That we have accepted Islam. So the internal states are known only to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And ultimately where is that? As he said. inside the heart. But that then controls us to our학교 beementhang. This state. My book. Honestly, my book is only from Salman Abdullah Zahra. Now there is an older, my book is more newer, recent. my thought processes, what I'm thinking, what I'm planning, what my goals in life are, likes and dislikes. All of that has to be within that envelope of taqwa and awareness of Allah. Keeping that in mind, in the last day or two, we have witnessed what Allah has written in the universe. Allah says, إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ Allah says...

  • My gift

    My gift
    Jan 8 2026
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon the most noble of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions. Peace be upon him, and upon many, many. My brothers and sisters, yesterday, one of my students, a revert from the U.S., Abdul Karim, he sent me a request, and very interesting way in which he worded it. He said to me, Sheikh, I want you to give me a gift. And the gift is, give me one piece of advice, which will be good for my whole life. So, Alhamdulillah, anytime I get questions like this, I remind myself that this is, he's not asking me because I'm a great Sheikh. This is Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala's way of helping me to focus on my own priorities in life. So, Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, causes somebody to ask a question. The beneficiary of that is me, Alhamdulillah. So, I said to him, and I'm saying to you, and I'm saying to myself, before everyone else, the one piece of advice I give myself, and to whoever wants to listen, is the only thing we need to do in our entire life, is to build our connection with Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. That's it. Nothing more is required. Build your connection with Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. He's one of our great sheikhs, Rahmatullah Ali, Sheikh Muhammad Saeed Ramadan al-Buti. He says, his father, his name was Mulla Ramadan. He said that when I was 12 or 13, he said, my father called me, sat me down, and he said to me, that if I knew, that you could get close to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, by sweeping the streets, I would have made you a street sweeper. If I knew, that the way to get close to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, is to sweep the streets, I would have made you a street sweeper. He said, but I know that the way to get close to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, is through ilm. Is through? Is through ilm. Learning about and learning Islam. So he says, therefore, my advice to you is as follows. He said, because closeness to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, is only through ilm. There is no closeness to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, through jahalat. This bida, that bida, following this one, that one, through ilm. And the ilm of this deen is the kitab of Allah, as explained and as taught by Muhammad Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So he says, closeness to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, is only through ilm. Only through knowledge. But don't study, he's talking about the, why do you study, the niya of it. He said, do not study to get a certificate or a title or a degree. Don't study so that you will be called Maulana or Sheikh or Mufti or this one or that one. Or you, because you have this degree from this jamiyah and that jamiyah. He said, don't study to get a certificate or a title or a degree. If you do that, if you study for that reason, then you are a customer buying a qualification. You are not a student. You are not a talib ul ilm. You are a customer buying a commodity. Degree. Second thing he says is, do not make the ilm of Islam a means of livelihood. He says, don't teach and take money. Do not make the knowledge, the ilm of Islam a means of livelihood. Because if you do that, the nur will leave the pages and only the words will remain. And the third thing he said is, learn and practice the deen only to get close to Allah . And if you do that, he said, then he will give you from his treasures in ways that only he knows. And only he knows the wisdom of that. So, learn the deen only to get close to Allah . Not for the degree and this and that. Do not make that a means of livelihood. Don't take money for it. And third thing is, practice it only to please Allah . So, the first piece of advice to myself and anyone else is, always, always, always, be conscious of your niya. Continuously check the niya. As our teachers always told us, the niya is like, imagine that you are somebody who has gone into a big market, into a fair. Right now, Hyderabad and Dumaish is going on. Supposing you are in that crowd. And you have this, your wallet in your pocket. Where will you keep your hand? On the pocket. Because you don't know, at any moment, there will be somebody who picks your pocket. So, you went in there with your resources. But then when you actually go to a shop to buy something, you know, it's gone. And that is the state of the niya. We, Alhamdulillah, we come to the masjid. MashaAllah, you stand for salah. This is, may Allah accept it from us. But then the shaitan comes and he hijacks your niya. So, I advise myself and you, focus on the niya. And focus only on one thing. How to get close to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And it's no mystery. Right? And don't imagine that, how to get close to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, I have to have this, some funny practice I have to do, on, you know, 7pm on Thursdays. No. There is no mystery in Islam. Please understand this very, very clearly. ...

    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 ...

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.

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.

    Auto-generated transcript:Muhammad is the Messenger of God and His體 & his family. Peace and blessings be upon him & the those who are Copts. Also said in Sajsa consummation And yesterday we talked about the first part where Allah said, كل نفس ذائقة الموت Everything, every living thing will taste death. So what is death? ما هو موت؟ What is death? We think, generally people think, that everything ends with death. For example, if somebody is in pain, they are in hospital, they are suffering or something, at least his suffering is over. کم از کم تکلیف تو ختم ہوئی. بولتے رہیم. So we think death is the end of the story. But the truth, the reality is, death is the beginning of the story. موت زندگی کے یا حیات کے اختتام کا نام نئی ہے. موت اختیار کے اختتام کا نام ہے. Death is not the name of the end of existence. Death is the name of the end of existence. Death is the ability to do anything. موت زندگی کے یا حیات کے اختتام کا نام نئی ہے. There is a story of one of the Salaf As-Salihin, his daughter died before him. موت زندگی کے یا حیات کے اختتام کا نام نئی ہے. So one day he saw his daughter in a dream. And he asked her, how is it? She said, we can see everything but we can do nothing. And you can do everything, but you can see nothing. so she has died she is telling her father in the dream we can see everything but we can do nothing but you in this life you can do everything but you see nothing that is the reason why we have the Kalam of Allah SWT because even though we cannot see anything Allah has told us what will happen we have the beautiful Hadith of Rasulullah narrated in Musnad Imam Ahmad narrated by Al-Bara bin Azib who said that Rasulullah said meaning of which is verily when the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the hereafter this is the narration of the time of death I don't know if any of you have seen somebody actually dying I have seen and on the face of the person there may be nothing it may seem like nothing is happening they are eyes are shut, they are sleeping but everything is happening there and that's why death has been compared to sleep because in sleep also the soul leaves the body goes to Allah SWT and if the death of the person is there Allah keeps it if it is not there it comes back so in sleep also you may see a dream you may see a very beautiful dream but the person may be sitting next to you they are seeing you but they don't see anything they are seeing you sleeping similarly you might be having a terrible nightmare but you are not sleeping you are not sleeping in this nightmare literally if you actually hook up ECG machines and stuff you might see his heart is his blood pressure is going through the roof his heart is beating very fast and so on he is running from some monster in the dream but on the face of it you don't see anything so here Rasool Allah is saying this is the time of departure at this time you are leaving verily when the believing slave is about to die you are leaving you are leaving you are leaving after leaving if you don't believe after leaving, you aren't going to die no fear you don't know no fear пَيْخُق are the hand of Allah No fear they aren't no no you are being what messengers yes Moses Mo it is correct present we ask all the people today put those hands put those hands now the whole acho Hakan ни kabar the ally the company is and sits by his head and he says Ya ayyatuha nafsu al mutmain irji'i ila rabbiki raadiya tam marziya fadkhuli fi ibadihi wadkhuli jannati Allah SWT tells us words O pure soul come out to the forgiveness and pleasure of Allah then his soul comes flowing out like a drop of water flowing from a cup there is no pain, no suffering just wonderful then Malakul Maul takes the soul and no sooner does he seize it but they take it the other angels take it and they place it in that shroud and the perfume then out of it comes the most excellent fragrance of musk to be found on the face of the earth then they ascend with it and they pass any group of angels that they pass by the angels ask who is this pure soul and they reply it is so and so, the son of so and so using the best names by which he was known on earth then they bring it to the lowest heaven and ask for the doors to be opened and it is opened for him those who are of high rank in each heaven accompany the soul until they approach the next heaven and so on until they reach the seventh heaven then Allah SWT says record the book of my slave in illiyun illiyun which is the highest heaven and take him back to the earth for I created them from it and I shall return them to it and then I will take them out from it again then his soul is returned to his body and the two angels come up and make him sit up and then the hadith mentions the questioning of the grave questioning in the grave ...
