Love for the Dunya (The Worldy Life) - Lecture by Dr. Ibrahim Dremali

We will be either one of two types of people on the Day of Judgment. It is our choice to make which group we want to be with. The issue is - When will we make the choice - now or later? Through the 8 ayat from Surah at-Takathur (Surah #102), Dr. Dremali explains the effects of loving this Dunya. Also through many inspriational examples he gives reminders on how to work for and long for the everlasting pleasure in the Afterlife.

102 - At-Takathur التكاثر
1:Alhakumut-takathur
The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you,
2:Hatta zurtumul maqabir
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
3:Kalla sawfa ta'alamoon
Nay! You shall come to know!
4:Thumma kalla sawfa ta'alamoon
Again, Nay! You shall come to know!
5:Kalla law ta'alamoona 'ilmal yaqeen
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things)
6:Latarawunnal jaheem
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
7:Thumma latarawunnaha 'aynal yaqeen
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
8:Thumma latus-alunna yawma-ithin 'anianna'eem
Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)!

"The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food." It was said: "Will it be because of our small number that day?" He said: "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allaah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said: "O Messenger of Allaah! What is Wahn?" He said: "Love of the world and the hatred for death." Saheeh: Related by Abu Dawood (no.4297), Ibn'Asaakirin in Taareekh Dimashq (2/97/8) and others. It was authenticated by al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah (no.958)

Al Hamdulillah he's a MUSLIM.. lets leave aside nationalism.. It has NO place in Islam..

[deskomafia]

AFTER WATCHING THIS I FEEL I AM GOING TO HELL , PLEASE ALLAH FORGIVE ME AND MAKE MY LIFE WORK THE WAY YOU COMMANDED IT TO BE , PLEASE MY LORD ALLAH SWT PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THE FIRE OF HELL PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME , LA ILAHA ILALLAH MUHAMMAD UR RASULALLAH ..

[yeeeekid]

This makes me feel like I'm going to hell. I personally believe I'm a good Muslim. But I don't always pray the prayers exactly on time because I did not know before. Now I know and I will try to pray them exactly on time and not delay then by 20 minuets to an hour. I can't imagine boiling in hell. The thought of me dying makes me sick to my stomach because of my fear of hell.

sadaka allaho warasollo sadaka allaho warsaoloh sadaka allaho warasoloh what ever Allah said and his messenger has come to pass they are truthfull

[5graffitiartist5]

for those who might misunderstand him when he says "your the judge now not Allah" i think he is trying to say now you have the choice to do right or wrong and on that Day Allah will judge you accordingly, Allah is Most Just,Stern in Punishment, Most Compassionate.

[Muslimah09]

If you are not aware of the shaykh, he is sick, and is in the hospital. Please keep him in your duas, for him and his family. There is a video of him here on youtube where he is giving a naseeha as he is on the hospital bed. Please once again, keep him in your prayers.
