 Because of the political situation, he chose a unique path to spread his knowledge, and that is dua. He used dua to spread his knowledge. And brothers and sisters, if you read dua Abu Hamza Thumali, look at the knowledge in that dua, the knowledge in this dua. When he turns to Allah swt about how we can improve our lives, how can we become better people? Because that's what the imams want us to do, salamullahi alayhim. Now, some people would say, it's difficult. You know, I understand what you're talking about this submission. Yesterday you were saying we should submit, we should believe. I understand, but to implement it is not easy. We say that practice makes perfect. Practice makes perfect. You need three things, or four things. First, the recognition of the need to change and improve. You need to realize, we need to realize that we are not perfect. We have to improve. If we don't realize this, if someone says, I am perfect, alhamdulillah, I don't think I need anything else. That's what we call, or in medical terms, a state of denial. When someone, a patient is a state of denial. He's got high blood sugar level, for example, he says, I'm not wrong, there's nothing wrong with me. Okay, look at your sugar levels, nothing is wrong. Unless you can convince him that there is a problem, he will never take any medication. Or the steps to get something done. So we need to realize we are imperfect. We need to perfect ourselves. That's one, two. We need to make a condition, shard, that I will change. I will change. Make that shard. And there are ways to help us. Attending the Majalis helps us. Sitting down with the mu'mineen helps us. Imam al-Sajjad refers to this. When he talks, he says, He says, Oh Allah, maybe you're depriving me of your mercy because of my actions. I don't come and sit with the ulama. I don't attend the Majalis. I am in the constant state of absent-mindedness. Wake me up, ya Allah. In du'ama Karam al-Akhlaq, he says, When you see me in the state of absent-mindedness. Wake me up, ya Allah. Wake me up. I said in Salat al-Jum'ah the other day. When we're driving on the highway, the minute we see the truck which has the speeding, it records the speed. What do we do? We immediately slam the brakes. Why? Because it makes us realize that if we continue with the speed, we're going to get a ticket. But if a person is absent-minded, is busy thinking about something else, and doesn't pay attention to the truck, what happens? It gets him. Two, three months later in the mail, he'll receive a present. Why do we sin? One of the reasons we sin is because we are absent-minded. Because we don't realize the greatness of Allah. Allah has this camera 24-7, it's watching us. Because we sometimes sit with people who are batali. Batali, you know. Sometimes have you seen some youth get together, or some men even, or women. And what do they talk about? Girls, cars, this, this, this, you know. Ah-ha-ha-ha, oh-ho-ho, you know all this. That's called batal, batal. Read Dua'a Abu Hamza, the month of Ramadan is coming up. Your Ulema used to read Dua'a Abu Hamza in the Qunud of Salatul-Layl, Salatul-Water. You know Salatul-Water? In the Qunud, they would pick up the book, and they would read Dua'a Abu Hamza Thumali. If you can't, that's fine. Read it afterwards. Read Dua'a Abu Hamza. And reflect, especially on the parts when the Imam, Salamullah, tells us what's going to happen to us when we close our eyes. There he paints you a beautiful picture demonstrating his knowledge of what will happen. He says, have mercy on me, Allah, when I am lying there dead, surrounded by my family. Have mercy on me, Allah, when I am being washed by my relatives. Have mercy on me, Allah, as I am being carried by my friends to my grave. And have mercy on me when I am put in my grave. That new house of mine. Help me, Allah. Which means we will know exactly what is going to happen to us as we leave this dunya. We will feel. We'll see the people washing our bodies. We'll talk to them. But can they listen? No, they can't hear us anymore. They can't hear us. In some Ahadith it is said, the ones who wash the bodies of the meyit, if they can actually see and realize what is happening, they would never wash a body of a meyit again. And then what? This is up to the grave. Then what? He goes back in another part of the dua. Once we are inside, what does he say? He says, I cry and why shall I not cry? I cry for the time when my soul leaves my body. I cry when they put me in that grave. I cry for the darkness. And how tight the space of that grave is. I cry for one, Munkar and Nakeer come to question me in the grave. We read in the Talqeen, and I bear witness that death is the right thing to do. And the question of the grave is the right thing. The question of the grave. Munkar and Nakeer will come, they'll question each and every one of us. Ya Phulan, so and so, why did you disobey the Imam? So-and-so, why did you do the gheba, the backbiting of so-and-so? Why weren't you genuine? Why did you have two faces? Why did you lie? Why did you cheat? Why, why, why, why? And then answer, what is the answer? Allahu Akbar. Are we ready? Are we ready? Let us turn to the people, ask them to forgive us. Let us forgive the mu'mineen. And let us pray to the Imam Salaam Allah, to have mercy on us when we are in that grave, when we are being questioned, when we are resurrected all alone with no helper and no supporter. They will be, inshaAllah, our helpers and supporters.
