 I'd like to start with reciting Surah Al-Fatiha. As Allah teaches us to ask for guidance and I'm very sure today we're all here to hear something from the Book of Allah, from the teachings of His Prophet ﷺ and something that could touch your heart and change your life and make you head on a journey of transformation InshaAllah. We don't learn knowledge for entertainment, we don't learn knowledge for amusement, we don't learn knowledge for just knowing and we actually learn so that we can change, become better people. Every day your goal should be to become a better person. If today you didn't learn something new and you did not apply something new and you did not do something I mean here by new good, then today is worse than yesterday. If today you learn something new and applied it then today is better than yesterday and it's very important that every day you live is better than the day before. That's a good life to live, that's an energetic life, that's an amazing life to be always looking for transformation and change. SubhanAllah, Allah shows us signs in His creation that something like a worm that to us is unpleasant to our eyes, kind of disgusting, you know, but this worm, you know, crawls, heaths becomes fatter and fatter and fatter and so it really looks unpleasant and then suddenly this worm goes into a process of fasting, it builds a grave for itself. This grave is under a leaf, not under the ground, it builds a cocoon and it dies. But it's not dying, it's going through a transformation. Who in the world would think something that can only crawl, cannot even run, will end up flying, it's just mind-boggling, profoundly deep, this worm, the caterpillar would look and it's crawling, it can't even run for mid-flying, I mean imagine yourself flying, you know. We can barely walk and sometimes run and when we run we can't run for a long time and suddenly you see yourself flying, we can only see that in dreams. In dunya, if you eat the right food, you do the right thing and once you die, you transform to something that can fly and go places and you will not believe what you could become, you will not believe what you can become, but if you believe it and you chase it, you will be it, inshaAllah, as I will share with you how that is actually true and I'm not even being metaphoric, I'm actually being actual. When we hit puberty and when we wake up and we look at ourselves, we evaluate ourselves based on our body. Our body is made of dirt and water. Science tells us that today, Islam told us that long time ago. So in this life, you can live thinking, you are one thing and one dimension or you can live feeling, touching, realizing, discovering the truth about yourself that you are not only dirt and water, you're not only our body. We live our lives chasing this body and this body is made of dirt and water and it acts like dirt and water. Dirt doesn't smell good. If you leave it in a box, in a bottle, it even rots, it stops growing some fungi and that doesn't smell good. And when you leave your body for 24 hours, it doesn't smell good. You have to take a shower and still when you take a shower, it still does smell so you end up using soap and shampoo and still it wouldn't work. So you go behind and apply lotion that has a scent and still that doesn't work. So you turn around and you start applying perfumes and scents and colognes and other oils because you're trying to cover the smell of dirt. It happens, we live our lives chasing. So this is dirt, where am I gonna feed it? I'm gonna feed it dirt. So fruits and vegetables are plants that grew from dirt and meat. They are animals that ate vegetation that was made from dirt so animals are also dirt. You like a house that is made of dirt and water, dirt and wood, wood grew up from dirt. And because you like dirt so much, the bigger the house, the more dirt it is, the more you like it. You like a car and your car that you drive is also made of dirt. They used to ride horses, now we drive cars and cars are very unattractive when they are in the law. So the final thing for you to buy it is painting. So they have to paint the car with yellow and call it Ferrari or white and blue and call it Lamborghini or dark green and call it Maserati. And that's how we live our lives. If we just remove the veil a little bit, take five minutes of reflection, we're eating dirt, we're wearing dirt, we live in dirt, we drive dirt. And then when we want to earn some, when we want to beautify ourselves, we beautify ourselves with dirt. So we go and find some dirt that is shiny and yellow gold, which we find it under dirt. We don't find gold in the clouds, we find it right under our feet mixed with dirt. And then we put dirt on dirt, now it looks good. And then sometimes we become jealous of roosters and peacocks. So we want to get some yellow dirt, blue dirt, red dirt and put it on our face so that we can start looking maybe a rooster or something. And now because dirt makes us look beautiful and you can be so happy because you look good with a gold that's from dirt, with makeup from dirt, with maybe nice haircut or beard cut, which is also dirt. And we live our lives like that and we become so much into that that we, for that dirt, we will lie for that dirt, we will cheat for that dirt, we will steal for that dirt we're actually willing to kill and destroy so that we can make sure who has more dirt than the other one. And that's why people who live that life, we call them dirty people because they're always chasing dirt. So SubhanAllah this cycle works in your 20, 30, 40 but as you get older you start discovering that I'm not excited about dirt anymore, I want something more. And because you are something more, because you have an elemental of you that is not dirt, as a matter of fact it's not from this world altogether which is your soul that breathes in you, your mind and your heart then that, you know, you start discovering yourself and because if you keep on chasing dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt you become depressed. Imagine someone who graduates with a PhD in law from UC Berkeley and then comes back and applies for a doctorate degree from UC Berkeley, applies for the job. I want to teach at your law school and they say, okay you want a job? Yes, I want a job. Here's a contract. Whoa, Alhamdulillah. He signs, he shows up next day to work wearing his suit and they hand him over a bucket and a mop and they say, excuse me, what is this? Your job, excuse me. Yeah, your job. I'm a PhD in law. I came here to teach. It's not a problem that you didn't read the contract. You signed a contract, we wanted a janitor. Do you want the job or not? We have other people applying. Imagine if you are under so much pressure that you have to accept that job and then I see you in one of the halls of Berkeley mobbing the floor, what will be your state? Sadness, depression, feeling down, disappointment, shock, embarrassment and this is exactly the state of human beings who live their lives thinking that they are only dirt when they are actually qualified for way much more than dirt, way much more. But we fail to see that there's something about us that is out of this world, literally out of this world. It has to be out of this world. So when you look at that, brothers and sisters, Islam comes and we remove that veil so we can see things for what they are, not what they appear to be. So we can start looking at things and say, oh, this is dirt. Okay, I get it. I'm made from water and dirt. So I have to use dirt. I get it. But there's something about me that is more. I'm not going to spend my life just chasing this, I'm qualified for more. I'm so much qualified for more that Allah made angels bow down to me. When I was in my father's back, Adam alaihi salam, angels bow down to Adam and Adam represented humanity, all of his children. People live their life wishing that they are angels and angels actually made sujood. I mean, do you know how big is that? In Islam, which is the final message, so people don't get confused, Allah forbid sujood to anyone other than Allah. In the religions before us, Allah allowed sujood of respect. That's why use of alaihi salam, his father, his mother and his brothers all fell into sujood. They didn't worship him, they are prophets, but they did sujood of respect. In our religion, Allah forbid it not for us because it opens doors for the ignorant, they start worshipping whatever people make sujood to. So our Prophet ﷺ said, stop doing that. Don't do that not for me, not for anyone else. He didn't want to even people bow down to him. So what's in you that would make an angel bow down to you? InshaAllah I will be able to come back one day and teach a course similar or longer than this one about angels. But angels are serving us. One writes your ID, one writes your ID, one carries your doha, one breathes the doha, that one protects you. One is here to inspire you with good ideas and good thoughts. Angels are working around you for you. It's just sometimes my body, Allah honors you, brings you angels, you're surrounded by angels. It's an image that we wouldn't think of holy people when actually that holy person is you if you choose to be someone sitting down and surrounded by angels. One is on his right, one on his left, one is behind him, one is in front of him, one is in talking to him. Do good, do good. It's an image of someone very special. And that someone who's very special is no one else but you. You don't have to be anything else. You don't have to be a shaykh, imam, wali, this. It's given to every human being. But some human decides to not listen to one, two, three, four, five angels and listen to one shaitan. Very interesting. People say, oh I don't know what to do with my shaitan. I'm very weak on listening. Allah give you five angels for one shaitan and you're complaining, come on man, get up. Wake up. Make a choice. So if you imagine yourself sitting down and you don't have to be anything special, you're already special. Allah in the Qur'an, not me, Allah in the Qur'an says, I've created the skies and the earth for you. Not the sky. The sky is samawat. People translate it to heavens and people get confused between heaven, heaven, sky or heaven, jannah. Forget the word heaven, just sky. In Surah Luqman Allah says, can't you see that I have subdued, subjectives. Subjected to you, that which is in the sky and that which is on earth. Are you blind? From the rain in the sky to you flying to now going space station to landing, a rover on march to stepping on the moon, can't you see? That I have subdued, subjected to you that which is in the skies, that's which on earth. Surah Al-Baqarah, third page if you open in the bottom. Allah says it is He who created for you everything that exists on earth. Everything that exists on earth. That's not me. That's not hadee. That's Allah's will. And Allah gives you so much honor. They say, oh I'm miskeena, I have no honor, I'm very weak. Who's who? What are you talking? You're just repeating the words of Shaitan. You're repeating, you just want to pray, you just want to be lazy. You just want to do nothing. Allah creates for you skies and earth. Before you come to planet earth, God knows they are saying 14 billion years in the make. The last five seconds you show skies, Allah says, I decorated for you the sky for you. The sky is with lanterns and I made a protection for you. I made the rain fall upon you so that it will grow vegetations and you will drink and eat and your animals will eat and eat. It's all for you, for you, for you. How much more honor can Allah, who with Allah, give you for you to wake up? Create the skies for you, the earth for you. Angels are serving you. Prophets are coming to guide you. Books are sent to enlighten you and you are trying to pretend that you are nobody. I'm sorry. You can pretend all that you want. It's not going to fly. It's not going to fly. I'm telling you on the day of judgment, it will not fly. You can pretend you are miskeem all day long and miskeena all day long. You're not a miskeem, you're not a miskeena. You are the richest of Allah's creation. Only if you are, God knows, Allah said, I have honored the children of Adam. People want honor, position, special, different. That's Allah's word. We have honored the children of Adam We carried them in the land and in the sea. Allah says, I preferred you over a great portion of my creation. Now, I'm just asking, you're going to believe Allah or believe yourself? You're going to believe Allah or shaitan? You're going to believe Allah or you're lazy enough? Allah says, I have honored you and you say, no, I'm not honored. I don't get it. And that's why we have to embrace that honor, embrace that honor. Allah Azza wa Jalla in His knowledge and His will of what He told us. I already had angels and the angels already were worshiping me in English numbers. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I visited al-Bayt al-Mahmur, the Ka'bah of Malarika on the seventh sky. I saw 70,000 angels make Hajj to that house every day. They never ever come back again. How many 70,000 angels did Allah create? Allah knows. So, who makes it on the day of judgment? The one who embraced that honor, the one who accepted it, the one who capitalized on it, the one who took it and ran with it in the right direction. That's who makes it on the day of judgment. But so long you're going to say, By the way, Imam Sheikh Moulana, whatever that is, this all came after the generation of the Sahabah. Allah called the ulema, ulema, only the people of Helm. But these titles that people make, they go to Helm, it's not going to help on the day of judgment. It will probably ruin the person who receives them more than Helm. You start thinking so high of yourself, like you become full of yourself. May Allah prevent us from falling into them. So, the idea is here. You really don't have to be anybody other than yourself. You are already honored, you're already special, you're already different. People today to be, to look different and special, they won't have to have to. Body person. Right. Your thumb is different. Your face and features are different. No two human beings have the same distance between ear and ear, ear and ear, ear and ear. It's my body. But your eye print is different. Right now your Samsung phone, your iPhone takes, you look at it. The whole world can look at your phone and want to unlock. You're really different. You're already special. What more do you want? So, if you decide to embrace that honor, you make a choice, what's different about me and you is that we are one of two creations that we are aware of that worship Allah based on choice. You know in human relationships, mom and dad have to live, they have to love their children, they have to love their children. Do you know why marriage is different? It's the only relationship you choose, it's the only relationship you choose who to love. I mean you cannot love your brother and sister even if you hate them. You have to love your mom and dad. Your mom and dad have to love you. Do you have to love your spouse? No, it's a choice. That's why it's different. And we initiate, we initiate that in the name of Allah, we say in the name of Allah, you too shall be married. We initiate that relationship in the name of Allah because it's very different and special. You are, we and the jinn and since we are not jinn we're going to leave the jinn alone, let the jinn talk about the jinn. We're going to be talking about us human beings unless we have any jinn with us, we'll come to the class. But the idea is when we're looking at us human beings the jinn will be for us. We came after the jinn when Iblis saw how much honor Allah gave Adam, he fled out. He's like, what is this? You say you created the heavens and the earth for him not for me? Allah said yes. You make the angels bow down for this? Why not for me? I've been here longer. I've been here before. I've been doing more. Who is this? He just showed up on the block. Allah said, do you know or do I know? Ya Allah, you created me from fire. You created him from clay. I mean come on. Do you know Shaytan knows your honor? How much your honor? Well more than you know how much your honor. Because that's what flipped him out. He became so full of jealousy he couldn't. Allah gave him a chance to repent. Allah told him why ma man haqqa and taqum na min asajjidin. Why didn't you make sujood? So Allah gave him a chance to repent. Allah is fair. He saw so much honor in you he couldn't handle it. His heart bursted. His iman got out of the window. Allah told him okay I give you a chance. Why didn't you obey my command? Go ahead you can repent. No, I'm not repenting. I'm not making sujood to him. I don't care. You created me from fire, you created him from clay. I'm better than him. If you know that Allah created you from fire then you know that Allah created you. So Allah knows what he created. And he still says make sujood. So make sujood. Iblis saw our potential, saw your potential, saw your value and it destroyed him from inside. He lost it, completely lost it. Do you know most of people in Makkah, especially the leaders of Makkah, they could not handle it inside them that Allah chose Muhammad Ibn Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Yetin grew up poor. His father died first, then his mom died second, then his grandfather died. Anyone. And then they said Allah said in the Qur'an and they said had this Qur'an been revealed to one of the two great men of the two villages, one of the great men of the two villages, the village of Makkah, Makkah and the city of Taif. So they couldn't handle it. Al-Waleed Ibn Al-Mughira told him this is beautiful, let's believe. They said are you okay? Abu Jahl told him by Allah if you Al-Waleed Ibn Al-Mughira become Muslim today, tomorrow all of Makkah will become Muslim. You're like wow that's great, let me do it. No, how would he told him? He told him and then the Arabs would say it was Al-Waleed Ibn Al-Mughira who changed the religion of his fathers and the religion of his people. People will not believe because of Muhammad, people will believe because of you. Are you willing to go down that path of dishonor in the books of history? I know Ibn Al-Mughira was like oh wow, maybe it's me not Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And that's why the first sin and the most destructive sin from inside is jealousy. Why her not me? Why him? Why Allah gave her a gift and gave you a million gifts, gave you a gift to every one of us especially. You better believe them, I believe them. It will kill your ego if you believe that I'm telling you. If you believe everyone is special, it will kill your ego. I swear because what do you think? I have what you don't have, they have what you don't have. In the story, shaytan will never be able to enter you, enter to you from that path. Everyone is special. I'm not competing with who's better, I'm competing with who's more honorable in the eyes of Allah. Allah say the most honorable of you in my sight is the most righteous. So I want to be the most righteous. Who knows who's the most righteous from not the most righteous? Allah. And where is righteousness? Inside it shows in your words and action. I'm not here to impress people, I'm not here to show off to people, I'm here to impress and show off to Allah. Do you know what we call show off to Allah? Iqlas, sincerity. When you wake up at night and you say, oh Allah, I don't want anyone to see me, I just want you to see me, I want to impress you and no one else. Allah encourage you that in you. That show off to Allah, not to people, we call it sincerity. That's when show off becomes sincerity. And when a person walks into the masjid and the masjid is full of people and start praying slowly, that sincerity we call it show off. That's why brothers and sisters, our story starts with honor. First stage of seven stages that we go through is the world of dots of light, nasamat, souls in the back of Adam from the beginning of the creation. The first stage we witnessed when the angels bowed down to our father, we were in his back, in his Liyah, allayah. Loin, in his loin, in his back. Do we remember? No we don't, but it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Then we move from A'la wa nasamat to A'la Al-Arwah, the world of souls. And Allah says, before you come to this world, Allah says, before you come to this world, when your mom and dad meet, and their meat and they get their aqid negah, immediately Allah takes from their backs, from their loins, their descendant. This is an ayah in the Qur'an. I would like to it's Surah number seven, ayah number 172. Surah Al-A'raf, ayah 172. When Allah took from the back of the children of Adam their children and He made them witness of themselves on behalf of themselves and upon themselves. They said, yes, yes, ya Allah, we testify that you are our Lord. Am I not your Lord? Yes, ya Allah, you are our Lord. Allah says, so that you do not come on the day of judgment and say, I was unaware of this. You come on the day of judgment or you would say, our forefathers, our fathers were mushrikeen and we came as their children I thought, would you accuse us for what the falsifiers have done? This is brothers and sisters, this essence of this conversation with Allah is what we call the fitrah. Interestingly, we don't remember it. So now we say, okay, Sheikh, we don't remember how Allah said it happened, yes. How do I reconcile with that? I'll tell you how you reconcile with that. Do you remember when you were four, nine months in your motherhood? That means it never happened. Do you remember the first two years of your life? Three, maybe four, some has memories. That means you were never went to a thing, you were born four years old. Not remembering does not mean it didn't happen. There's so many things in life, sometimes someone told you, man, you told me this and you're like, Allah, I don't remember. Unintentionally, we are forgetful. And of Allah's mercy, Allah on the Day of Judgement will not judge people based on this aya, based on this conversation only. In another aya, Allah gave more break to people. He said, I will not punish until I send a messenger first. What about the Eskimos? If Allah sends the messenger of the messenger, you and I go and speak to the Eskimos about what? about Islam and explain it in a way that they can understand it and relate to it. In their language, then the hujja, the plea, the case has been established. But if no messenger comes to them, then Allah will not punish them on the Day of Judgement. Allah will give them a separate, special trial. However, that special, special trial is with Allah's famous. So if you are afraid, yeah, what about all of these non-Muslims that never heard about Islam? And this, I said, well, man, they got a good chance on the Day of Judgement. I would really be worried about myself. I would say, I heard about Islam, Allah, I heard about, I read it every Ramallah and I read all the sunnah and I'm not a good Muslim. That's a good question. But to say all those people like, what are you trying to say? I have more mercy than Allah. I have more justice than Allah. How could Allah do this to them? Yeah, exactly what are you trying to say? You know, where did you get the sense of mercy except from Allah? Where did you get the sense of justice? Do you know that the sense of justice has been given to us from above us? Nothing under us. Look in the universe around us. You know, what? We evolved from apes? Okay, let's go back to apes. Do they have a sense of justice? You know, they made you think that chimpanzees are cute and they made them in movies. You know, chimpanzees are crazy criminals. They have no problem eating another monkey alive. And when one of them becomes weak, they have no problem turning one hand and killing him. They eat meat, you know that. You want to watch some of the scariest movies, real ones on YouTube? For those of you who like the adrenaline rush, go and see how chimpanzees go in groups and other monkeys and eat them alive. Where is the justice in that? We don't get the sense of justice from anything under us. Do you know what happens when a new lying male comes to a pride? Do you know what's the first thing he does? He fights the old alpha male. If the old alpha male wins, he kicks him out. If the new guys defeat the alpha male or kill him, he will either run away or die in the battle. The new male will turn against every cup and baby of the old male and kill him on the spot. The mothers will be sad for three days. They will go back in heat and they will mate with the new male and they will have his own babies. Imagine, you think the world of human beings, someone married a divorced woman. First thing he goes, he goes down, kills all of her children so that she can have children with him. Where do we get the sense of justice from Allah? From above us, not from under us. Nothing in creation has what we have. There's nothing in evolution that talks about justice. This is when Allah said, and I blow in Him of my spirit, in Him of my essence. We're not Allah. Our soul is not Allah. No, it's part of Allah. It's one of the creation of Allah. But Allah blew in us His essence. Allah ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim, we know what ar-Rahman is. Allah is Al-Adil, we know what Adil is. Allah is Al-Muqsit, we know what Al-Qist is. We know what fairness is, what justice is. We have it. Why? Because Allah blew it in us. Nothing under us has Adil and justice and fairness. It doesn't exist. It's the survival of the fitrists. Imagine a human being says the survival of this. Let's go to all poor people in Kildan. That's the survival of the fitrists. But we don't do that. So, if you're worried about Allah's mercy and justice, I have an advice for you, don't. So, that's why the way I also understand this aya and it's in the books of Tafsir, I will not punish until I send a messenger. This messenger of the day is Prophet Musa alaihi salam, Isa alaihi salam, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Because Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the last prophet. If Allah sends you someone from the ummah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to remind you and wake you up, now Allah has sent you a messenger for you when you are alive and he was alive too, who delivered the message of the final messenger to you. And that's what I have in no way, I do believe these lectures are entertainment but actually milestones. You either going to change after this or you are in a lot of trouble. I'm not here to make you laugh. You will be held responsible about what you learned today. You cannot say I didn't know, I didn't know what you knew. So these are milestones in your life for you to transform and change and as well as for me, I'm the speaker. It looks to you like a privilege but actually it's not because first one who goes to help is the speaker. I have him. Allah tells him why did you learn knowledge? He said for you Ya Allah, for your sake. Allah said kebbt, liar. You learn so that you receive respect and kissing the hand and the bowing and touching the feet and bringing the food and the special rites and the special treat and the special hosting and people say you are I have him and he is Saish-e-Ikhun, scholar and you loved it and enjoyed it. You worked for that and you got your reward. So here you have no reward, you already got your jannah. Take him to hell. So if you want to know the truth, I'm not excited at all to speak about this because it's a reminder for myself before me, I make dua for you. May Allah Azza wa Jalla awaken you. I'll make you alert and aware. May Allah awaken the iman inside you and may Allah give me the same. You make dua for me inshaAllah and we need each other. No one is better than no one here inshaAllah. We're not here to make money or to make fame or to make a legacy on the back of the Qur'an and sunnah. We are here to make a legacy for Allah and for his messenger not for us inshaAllah. First page is Alamun Nassamat. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Allah took from the back of Adam from his loin his children through them like dots of light and the Adam said, Ya Allah what is this? Wow, he said those are your children. He was looking and looking and looking and he saw one dot that has so much light big dot of light. I'm amazed by this hadith because if it was someone who's false he would say that big light was me. Atrasullah Azna is a true like truly true and truly to the bones humble to the bones. He said Allah said that is your son Dawood al-Islam. So say Adam said how long my son Dawood will live? Allah said 60 years. Ya Allah how long am I going to live? Thousand years. Allah can you give him 40 years from my life to his life so he can live at least 100 years. This much light he needs more. So Allah said done. Angel of death comes to Adam. Adam was the smartest human being because Allah taught him directly. People think oh he started in the cave. Adam was smart. I don't know what came before Adam. Allah kept it open for us, for science to find. People get to work so hard on this issue but I know Adam was no primitive. He was no primitive. All the names. So Adam was by no means primitive. So Adam one of his sciences was calculation. He knew calculation. He knew astronomy. He knew how to calculate. So he said to the angel of death I still have 40 years left in my life. Angel of death went back to Allah. Ya Allah you're out. Adam and Nabi saying yes 30 40. He said go back and remind him of the 40 years that he donated for his son down. Does he still want to fulfill the pledge or not? And Adam said yes. Allah Prophet ﷺ said Adam forgot and his children forgot after him. Allah was not mad at Adam because he forgot. He just reminded him. That's where Allah teaches us. Rabbana laatu akhidna. Inna sila wa ahdana. Ya Allah don't hold us responsible if we forget. Or we make mistakes. Alhamdulillah our deem is amazing, beautiful. Already easy. You try to make it easier. You will disturb it. It will not be easy. It will become nothing. So this is the hadith that we have about alamun nasamat. The world of dots of light in the back of Adam. Then we have the second stage. The aya. When Allah takes from the back of the child from Adam of the children of Adam. Maman, dad, you and your wife, Allah takes their children and he makes them witness of themselves. Am I not you Lord? Yes, you are my Lord. So that third stage is alamul alham. The world of the womb. I came from a womb. My mother womb. You came from your mother womb. In alamul awwaha. One hadith Allah said Allah blows the spirit that has witnessed with its Lord. Allah blows the spirit in the body after 40 days. In another hadith it says after 120 days. If we go with the lesson one, 40 days. It was interesting that I found out that in science the baby's heart start beating between 38, 39, 40 days of pregnancy. So subhanAllah as if there is a relation between the heart beat and blowing the spirit. 38, 39, 40. This is what I have found in books of science. So it's very interesting. So the heart start beating, the soul is blown and you come with a delegation, two angels, come bring your pure soul that dot of light, that soul that witnessed with its Lord whether you are coming to a Muslim parents or non-Muslim parents as pure soul comes and is blown. And then they ask, Ya Allah, what's, how long is the life of this person? So Allah give the ajam, how long this person will live. Ya Allah, what would be the risk of this person? So Allah give him the risk obviously. The risk is not only money by the way, it's everything. Smartness, what's his gift, what's his strength, what's his weakness, what's his strength, what's his weakness, because that's a risk too. What's, so this is also anything that comes to you and benefits you and becomes yours. Sometimes you go and make $8 an hour, $10 an hour, $12 an hour. It's not much, but that's your risk. It's not a good money, but that's your risk. So this doesn't have to be all good. This is your, so it gives you a certain parameters of destiny, date of birth, date of death. In this stage, Allah really, really awaken us because this stage we see. So Allah put so many listens at that stage because we see. Before that we don't see. Allah use this stage to prove to you that there is life after that. Oh mankind, if you were in doubt of life after death, then remember how we created you in the beginning from a clot. Why is this important? This is important because Islam, our deen, the way Allah teaches it in through his book, the way his messenger teaches it, not the way anyone else teaches it. Build your unseen iman. You believe in the unseen based on a proof in the seen world. This is the style of the Quran. That's not my style. I'm not making this stuff up. I'm not trying to be a modern, amazing, latest and greatest new age speaker. This is purely ayat of the Quran. Go back to surah al-Hajj and see how Allah made a case for you to believe in life after death by making a case for you to look at your mother woman. At how the baby is made. Why? Because it's mind boggling. Allah even gives it to us in another creation, the frog. Mother lays the egg. Father fertilizes the egg. The egg has to be outside the war. Hanging on a leaf or next. Above the leg. Sometimes they put their eggs inside the water, but it's still an egg. The frog will find a small pond and will put it. Some frogs put it in a leaf above the pond. So now what are you looking at? Egg. Where is the egg? Outside the water or inside? So now this egg comes out of it a tadpole. That looks more like a fish than anything else. Where does the tadpole falls into the water or start swimming in the water? And it goes like that for a while. From what I remember four weeks or I don't know two weeks, three weeks, four weeks. But what are you looking at fish? Is it living outside the water? No. What will happen if that tadpole gets outside the water? It will die. What happens? Slowly hands grow, feet grow and it loses its tail and it comes out of the water and now it can only breathe outside the water. It can hold its breath inside the water, but it has to breathe away outside the water. Yeah, I mean, what is this? An egg of a chicken or a fish or a mammal. What is this? It's all of them together. This is a jeep, right? This is interesting. This you moving from one form to another. If Allah told us, I would resurrect you on the day of judgment as fish, everyone would say, oh, come on, that will not be a surprise to me. Why? Because what were you in your motherhood? An egg, sperm and the egg right before meeting together and, you know, that the sperm was outside the egg, it sheds 23 chromosomes. You understand that no cell can live without 46 chromosomes. In a matter of a minute, it sheds and the egg sheds 23 chromosomes. So that 23 with the 23 will become what? 46. Now you have one cell. Now you have what? One cell. Now imagine if you Google just so that you don't I am not any authenticity or authority on the cell. Google how many cells are in the human body. They will tell you depends how you measure, but anywhere between 50 and 70 trillion cells. Thousand billion million cells, basically a trillion from one cell. 70 trillion? Yes. And each cell, the cells as they are growing, this clot, this one cell, it's growing and some cells are becoming specialty, these are liver, they look different, they act different, they do different jobs and on other cells becomes the kidney. They look different, they act different, you know, the kidney is a miracle by itself. The kidney, your kidney size is like this, but if it actually allows itself to soak water, every cell to soak water that is capable, it will become like this. Subhanallah, I know a sister may Allah preserve her for her children. Had a pregnancy and delivered the pregnant, delivered the baby, Alhamdulillah, safe, just so that you know. The sister is 150 pounds. She became pregnant, she was, she became 180 pounds. When she was 150 pounds, 50 pounds were only her kidneys. If I don't know the sister, I will not tell the story. So the kidneys were like from here to here, from here to here, full of water. That's the actual size of the kidney, but the way Allah created it, they fold and fold and fold and fold and they filter water. If they unfold, it becomes this big. Subhanallah, just like they tell you, your DNA can go back to the moon, back and forth to the moon, I don't know, six times the DNA in a cell or something. These are some things mind-boggling. Okay, fine. So liver, kidneys, brain, this and this. And now this baby is going first trimester, second trimester, third trimester. And what's the baby doing? The mouth is open, the nose is open. It's in a liquid. It's supposed to suffocate to death. No, it gets the water from the American court. It gets the food and the oxygen. So Allah says, look at that. Does that look like you? Do you look like mudra when you take a gum, chew it, chew it, chew it, and then stretch it along your final chew? You know how we like to play with gum. So you put it across here and you chew it and then take that out and look at it. That's called mudra. Chewed, mudr in Arabic chewing, mudra chewed. And when you take that gum and go and look in any book of anatomy for children, that child looks exactly like a chewed gum. And those lines where your teeth, those lines in the chewed gum are actually the hands and the feet. And the first one is your tail. And yes, you have a tail. Like a tail pole. But then the tail becomes the spine and the feet and you don't have a tail. You had a tail, but now you don't have a tail. And now you come out not looking anything like that. So Allah says, if you came from this, why is it so strange for you that you're going to come back as a human again? I mean, where is that? Well, where is that? Where is that? Oh, that's impossible. Well, you know what's impossible? What's already happened is the impossible. So Allah says, if I created you like this in the first place, isn't it easy for me to create like this again? Well, what's the problem? And then Allah Azawajal goes in so many ways, like ayah that's a whole, we have a short time, but we have like 9 to 10 reason, Qur'anic reasons that will make you feel proud that you are a Muslim. It's unbelievable, Allah uses human logic, reality logic, and then tops it with divine logic. Allah tells you, look at this in reality and learn and listen. One of the proofs in the Qur'an that there is life after that is look at a dead bearing land that in falls, it comes back to life. You mean just think for a second, where was that? That was dead. The Prophet ﷺ says on the Day of Judgment, it will rain for 40. The narrator of the hadith, he said, I don't remember 40 days, 40 days. I don't remember, I just remember the number 40. And as I remember, I will narrate it. It will rain for 40 and from that rain of Ma'ul Haya, the water of life, people will be resurrected. You will come out like plants. So if Allah makes that happen to you, you want to know, you want to look at the site of the Day of Judgment? Again, every issue of Al-Ghaib that Allah asks you, gives you an example in Alam Al-Shahada. You want to look at it? Look, before it rained this season, Alhamdulillah for the abundant thing recently, because December, January, February, we had no rain. Then it started raining in March and April. But look how a very mountain yellow becomes green in this thing. Just imagine those shoots of grass of human beings. That's it. Because there will be no, your mother become pregnant and for nine months and then she will deliver you. There will be no pregnancy. So what Allah will does, what He does today in front of you every winter and spring, He will do it on Day of Judgment. What's the problem? If you were a dot and a clot and then you became like a worm, right? A worm. And then you became like God knows what, frog. And then you became like a fish. And then you became like a human. You mean it's a problem that you grow up like a plant? What already happened is more impressive. So Allah gives like this nine proofs in Al-Qa'al Al-Ka'ib. They're all mind-boggling. You would think, oh, there's a smart speaker who came up with that, like in the year 2020. No, it's the Qur'an. That's what's impressive. That's what's impressive. But people sometimes, because they don't read the Qur'an, they try to go and find something impressive out there and then tell you. John Smith said, okay, I want to know what the Rasulullah said. Maurice Bukhai said, okay, fine. Jezebullah here in the Bible, the Qur'an and science. But I want to know what Allah said. Comparative religion in the Qur'an. What did Allah say in the Bible, in the Qur'an? What did Allah say in the Torah, in the Qur'an? Even competitive religion is already in the Qur'an. Authentic source, Allah who revealed the Torah tells you, I said this in the Torah. In the Qur'an, He tells you that. You don't need. Don't go and be fighting with people over their book. This is my book says this. Because, but Ya Shaykh, they don't believe in the Qur'an. We have to speak to them from the Bible. Allah, Ya MashaAllah. If you figured out something, Rasulullah didn't figure. Show me one day the Prophet ﷺ said, okay, guys, you don't believe in the Qur'an. You know, let's bring the Bible and let's prove Islam is right from your Bible. When did that ever happen? When did the Sahaba do that? And you think it turns people? No, it doesn't. But that's a different topic. So we are in stage number. Two, three, four. The scholars have differed between two, three and four. Stage number one, the world of nasamat. Nasamat, dots of light, simple rule. The world number two, Alamul Arwah. World number three, Alamul Arham, plural of Rahim. And here is something interesting that Allah gave women something and the Prophet ﷺ said he gave her something and that thing he gave it a name from his name. That's not me, that's a hadith. So every woman should walk with her head high, feel so special and honoured. She carries one of Allah's names inside her. It doesn't get any better than that. That's why Allah and his Messenger, in the Qur'an always use the example of the mother's love. No one will love you more than your mother than Allah. Except Allah. Anyone else will not. Why? Because and why the mother? Because she brings something to life inside her room from SubhanAllah. When Allah brings, creates people from nothing to life, Allah feels so much pain, mercy, love, care. And that's why Allah calls, He told the Prophet, I am your Lord. I am your Lord, I am your caretaker, I am your SubhanAllah. So Alamul Arham, why we call it Alam? Why we call it a world? How many people don't make it past Alamul Arham? Some of us died in their mother's womb. The mother had a miscarriage, the baby didn't make it. So Islamic Ruhi is very simple. If you make it, if the baby comes out and makes one screen, one screen, one breath, one screen, and then it passes away, we should make Hussain, we should make Salat al-Janaza and Bariya. If the baby is born, stale birth, and did not have a breath or screen outside his mother, then we owe it only Bariya. It's not in need of us washing it or praying on it. It doesn't need your washing, it doesn't need your prayers. It's already a burden jannah. So have a nice day, Bariya and go on. You understand? So that's a simple rule of Fiqh that helps us to understand the subject. You know, so we call it يستهلا أم لم يستهلا. يستهلا يعني بالصراحة or بالبكاء or did the child make a sound? Did he cry? Then you'll have your owe it washing day and Janaza and Bariya. If not, you just only owe it Bariya. That's it. So some of us don't make it. SubhanAllah, may Allah, may Allah strengthen her Eman and may Allah fix his will to bless her with another child. Is this sister who raised Islam in my home? SubhanAllah. She was a graduate, she was a lawyer graduate from UC Davis and got married, had a daughter, one pregnancy, miscarriage, two pregnancy, miscarriage, third pregnancy, a boy and perfect. And one week before birth, the umbilical cord turned around its arm, not even its neck, squeezed the thing and the baby passed away. He was one week away from delivery, very hard. And she called me and said, SubhanAllah, very difficult. May Allah fix her Eman and help me replace her with something better in Dunya and Akhir. It's very interesting. So it's a whole stage of life. You come to the womb, you live in the womb, right? And then Allah tells us, learn from that more. A child, imagine if a twin are sitting down inside the mother womb, they're having good time, they're hanging together, they're having social, and then doctor comes and pulls out one of them. And imagine we go inside and interview the next, the other one. Where's your brother? Oh my brother died. The two came out. No, he didn't die, he was gone. No, he was here with me. He was having good time when we were eating and drinking and we had an old world and everything was good and perfect. But why did they have to take him out? SubhanAllah, you are born from your mother womb into this world. And when you're born in this world, a time comes that you are born in another world. In the Quranic Arabic, mount and mayyat does not refer to nothing. Mount and mayyat refers to the state of the soul without the body. So Allah says, كَيْفَتَكُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَقُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتَنْتَ فَأَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُبِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ يِلَيْتَرْجَعُمْ تُرْجَعُنْ how you dare to disbelieve in Allah when you were dead then He brought you to life then He caused you to die then He brought you back to life then to Him you shall return dead does not mean nothing dead you have a soul but you don't have a body that's the meaning of the word dead in the Quran when you come to this world from death you don't come from nothingness you come from a soul without a body so we come here we have a soul and a body and we're born into this world we're born crying different reason in the hadith shaytan pokes you in another you know it's science tells us it's the first time you use your lungs they expand them like a balloon and they hurt you so much that you have to scream because it's the first time you've used your lungs you know the children try their mother won't to look they try to read but you know there's no vacuum of hair so anyway different reasons but then you come to this life and you cry you're crying so hard and what's everyone doing around you laughing hey where the baby and the baby is like why are you laughing I am crying so the Arab poet Muslim Arab poet said a poem that is so beautiful so profound he said your mother gave birth to you oh son of Adam oh daughter of Adam your mother gave birth to you crying while everyone around you was laughing work hard for a day that when everyone is crying you are laughing that's the day of your death so that's the poet and it's very profound like someone who read the Quran and Ayat and brought beautiful chair Prophet used to encourage that so we come to this world and very interesting how we come to this world I ask you what makes you you how do you identify yourself how do you know it's you not him how do you know this is me how do you identify yourself when you're walking down the street how do you identify yourself how do you know it's me and anybody in my tennis your name thank you your name you call me by my name where is my that's how I know it's me yes same yellow more that's your name more your body my body I know this is my body what's the most identifying part of my identifying part of your age I know someone say like this someone say your face your face yes when you look in the mirror you know it's you at least I hope so you know there's actually a disease may Allah never test us like that that the person doesn't remember his face and every time they look in the mirror they get very scared so they are not allowed to have mirrors in the room so imagine subhanAllah just for us to Allah to tell us you could have that you know your face your name more your conscience more and the jeans that you're wearing or like I don't know my genetics and that would be a problem if the only way I can identify myself with my jeans okay well my unique experience how I see the work I perceive that's how I know when you go to apply for credit card what do they ask social security what is that picture idea picture idea what is up in the okay fingerprints what I've never never asked me where do you come from where what signature you're missing it come on the first thing that they asked you to identify yourself what I'm saying your parents your name thank you for saying your parents no what is it when you film the application what do you write first their last name thank you finally date of birth come on people you went for social security number you forgot your date of birth america really got to you date of birth face who your parents were go around that your parents were also where were you born that shaped who you are what language you spoke when you were a kid and what the language is the parents speak with because we put the language is a way of thinking as well I tell you teach your children their mother tongue before you teach them English with teaching them English but make them think because that's part of who you are as a Muslim to your language right number three okay your childhood how did you grow up which country did you grow up in what makes you you in what about your voice right you look your parents who were your brothers and sisters they work these things made you who you are true you know when one of us is a good one when you put one of us is proud of himself oh who is she I am such and such my parents are such and such my family are such and such I come from this country I come from this part of the town we had this much money we were upper family high class we were this is how you take pride in yourself when someone comes and tells you would you please come into the path of Allah see it embrace it see the beauty no I had my opinions you know what I'm not you know I'm I'm a Muslim but I'm not religious I'm kind of you know spiritual but not religious and all of that stuff but would you no no no I have my own opinions I have my own ideas you know okay where did you get your opinions and ideas from where you lived where you've been what you've learned right that's what makes you you and if Allah has granted you or her with a beautiful voice may Allah give you enough brain and iman to balance that good look because when you have a good look and you don't have enough brain and iman to balance it that good look will be a curse on you because you would think you're somebody when you are nobody but just because you're whole life people think oh you're beautiful and the opening doors for you and they're talking you think the world oh you something because you're beautiful and you have not achieved any of that but here is what I want you a moment of reflection do you know what makes you you you have nothing to do with it you have no choice in it did you pick your parents before you come to school did you pick the country where were you going to be born when were you going to be born what language will you speak what class what part of town did you even give yourself your own name subhanAllah Allah says a word in the Quran and I am juzuf and juzuf Ya ayyuha l-insan wa go human being ma hurraqa bi rabbika l-kayeem what made you deceived about your lord you're talking to your lord like you are the god and your lord is no one what makes you talk like that what what got you into this arrogance he is the one who created you shaped you this look that you're so proud of he gave it to you he straightened you up gave you strength gave you special talents and then Allah said in whatever shape and mold he assembled you I find myself Allah picked this soul okay this is the body this how he's going to look or she will look this will be their parents okay they will be born here she will be growing up here this will be his date of birth he's going to go through his childhood and Allah assembled you put you together he knew you before you knew yourself it's mind boggling like he literally literally wanted you to look like that and there is a beauty in that and you have to see that no matter what you consider yourself beautiful or not if Allah picked it it must be beautiful that's why you know the people that we consider ugly or maybe handicapped or we call retarded if you just give yourself five minutes and look you will see beauty in them Allah doesn't create ugly but there is something for you to see and reflect so be happy be satisfied of what Allah chose for you and how he assembled you your height body build parents social status where were you born what language did you speak what nationality how Allah assembled you together and Allah told none of these items I will judge you for on the day of judgment I would not ask you about any of this because you had nothing to do with it I will ask you about four things what did you think about what did you say what did you do how did you react yes because Allah is not going to ask you why the day was before the night why the night was before the day why the moon was revolving around this the earth not the earth revolving you didn't do any of that you have no responsibility the day the night the sun the moon you just look at them as ayat but what would Allah ask you you chose to think like that I told you not to think like that I told you don't keep on living suspicion suspicion suspicion always about people you look at suspicious suspicious suspicious what are all things like Allah see each tiny book a theorem in order to be able to tell you could be a theorem in order avoid most of suspicion and conjecture for most not all most of suspicion is a sin sin so hmm you might think negatively of people um in nabaad of the need some of suspicion is what sin oh Allah will judge us for what's in our head yes if it translates to an action so if in my head lower class now the thought translated into an action I will be judged even though I didn't say a word um oh I don't talk to such people oh you're not you know educated like us oh you don't know what you're talking about yeah she might not be knowing what you're talking about this subject but she might know a hundred things more than you in a hundred days so again everyone Allah gave them something special you can learn something from everyone so how many people ask me a question I learn from their question more than they learn from my answer because it teaches you something right so you have to think so Allah Azawajal tells us man you you when you say me me I assembled you I can disassemble you and I will disassemble you I will take your soul out of your body and I'm going to be talking to that soul again just like a bear witness the first time I'm going to make it bear witness the second time I'm going to talk to it the second time so subhanallah brothers and sisters Allah brings you to life Allah gives you four resources to accomplish four things first resource Allah gives you time you need time to do things from birth to death excuse me number two Allah gives you wealth because you need wealth to execute things to live and execute number three Allah gives you knowledge mind and to the mind knowledge and Allah will see what you have done with that knowledge number four Allah will give you health and youth so that you can do what you're supposed to do as long as you can move move and function you're young second you can you can only sit down and you cannot move anymore that's a differential but it has nothing to do with age age is in your hand to me from the Quranic understanding who is young who is young the definition of young is the one who can change very quickly they're young they don't know much but if something that they see it's right and it's good they embrace it they change like that by Allah I saw in my life 60 70 years old they are looking for change they are agile they see they were doing something wrong for 60 or 70 years it doesn't matter they change then embrace change those people are young you look at their faces by Allah there is barely any income and you look at a 16 years old can you please just like stop harming yourself no that's me that's the way I am take it or leave it I know myself that's the way I am I will not change you won't change I won't prescribe to that you look in their face it's all right what is young young means someone who is willing ready to change to the truth very quick very fast so long as you when you talk to yourself if you ever catch yourself talking to yourself I don't do that I'm like I'm just I've been doing the same thing I don't care what Allah says in the Quranic hadith the way I learned the Quran and hadith from my mom and that is this way and I'm gonna do it this way I'm gonna continue this way I don't know this new generation and this and that and you start making it old versus young and culture versus non-culture you are old congratulations you're gonna die soon but if you are like man I love the truth I don't like lies Allah created me I don't like lies I don't like someone to lie to me so why when it comes to the truth I want people to lie to me thank you Allah for not lying to me you don't lie your word is the truth your promise is the truth you are the truth what is the truth it is when you say something that matches reality in real in the real world it's this so people thought for a long time earth is flat in the real world earth was a globe it didn't matter it didn't hurt the feelings of earth that everyone was describing it as flat the earth was a globe was that the truth no why because it was not matching reality in reality whether people say it or not admit it or not believe it or not embrace it or not there is only one god that's just the reality of things there is only one god so that's why this point is very important when you say what what what would make you make it across is willingly without any force or compulsion with knowledge and choice you make an informative decision you make an informative and informed not informative informed choice informed decision willingly that inside me my head my mind inside my heart and inside my soul there is no god between god why do you know what we grew up learning if you say there's no god between god out there those Hindu gods and those this Buddhist gods and those this they're not true there's only one god out there do you know you that's not what it is like you haven't added anything by saying la ilaha illallah and you mean up there in the world there is no god between god because anyway out there in the world there is no god but one god but the question is is in the world inside you is there no god but one god that's what Allah will judge you for so what we do we say out there in the world there is no god that one god I'm done I can go on with my life right now thank you bye bye see you later but inside you nothing changed and you think you've done your job as a muslim no you didn't you didn't make a choice you didn't make a check that's why when you say and inside you oh my god there will be so much change people cannot be god what people say about you cannot be god money cannot be god fame cannot be god wealth cannot be god what's in your side is la ilaha illallah so the Prophet SAW would say la ilaha illallah a hundred times a day la ilaha illallah la ilaha illallah there's no god but one god he's alone there's no partners for him he owns everything I shall not be blinded people might own powers superpowers they might think that they own but no one owns but Allah let me make that fact clear inside me who owns Allah who's god Allah who's the lord Allah who deserves thankfulness Allah who's the king Allah inside me let me not get deviated let me not get scattered let me not get divided let me let me focus here inside me I want to live my life and this issue this choice that Allah wants us to make informed choice is why you are here people say I shahadu an la ilaha illallah I shahadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasulah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I ask you a question what's the name of a shahadu I am the witness can someone explain to me what's a who's a witness what does it mean a witness when do we will use the word witness huh and at court we call the witness what do we want from the witness it's something so he must be someone who saw something he must be someone who heard something he must be someone who knows something he must be someone who who experienced so the judge asked him Mr witness have you seen the crime no have you heard the crime do you know anyone that is involved in this crime no have you been in the vicinity of the crime do you know anything about this crime no can you get out of here please so I ask people your entire life you think Islam is easy and that's why you don't value it you think it's a piece of cake anyone can get it it's easy for the one whom Allah made it easy for and the one Allah makes it easy for is the one who wants it who desires it who who sincerely wants it otherwise it's not easy to get I'm telling you it makes you give you a headache when you have a headache that's a good headache that means you're thinking you're saying a shadow and la ilaha illallah wa shayallahu alaykum can you please tell me what did you see what did you hear what did you experience you're just talking words have no meanings I may witness that there's no God that will okay hold on hold on let's bring you here what did you witness you first have to witness see hear experience no and that's why you say that's why Islam is the final faith and the true faith you know why because there's no blind faith in Islam if you want to go like this get out go find another religion you want to open your eyes and see welcome to Islam you can see a shadow you want to close your eyes and say that's the way it is I believe it or not have a nice you want to seek the truth ahlan wa sahib you want to just say this is what I found my forefathers this what everybody around me did and I'm doing it go find another place that's why I love Islam it's very academic like it's very proper academic scientific like even when you believe in Allah you have to say I bear witness that there is no God but one God and mine that's the thing that will make you survive on the day of judgment and enter jannah that you witnessed it saw it heard it experienced it known it you've known it right and you lived it and you tried your best to live it you maybe you're not a perfect person you're not a prophet or messenger you're not you're not even close right but you had the knee and tried did your best Allah says that's all I want you to do your best I'm not asking for perfection so what happens is that you are in the state of witnessing so what happens you move to the second step of witnessing when people look at you they will witness Allah they will witness Islam they will witness the Prophet the Prophet ﷺ say there are some people when you see them you remember Allah when you see them you see the messenger in them when you see them you say I don't know what this guy believes in I don't know what this lady just had a conversation visited the lady subhanAllah had an aneurysm the doctor 10 years ago told her you need to have a surgery you need to do that she said okay hold on I don't have the surgery right now are you crazy then the doctor told her look that I said is it your faith she said yes he said do you know that when I take people they have aneurysm the first thing I want can we have the surgery please this have the surgery right now you are the only one that I have to run after you during the surgery what kind of a human you are she said I have faith I want to have the surgery I want medicine it's not that I don't want it but I don't something in me say don't do it now when the time to come to do which she did it and it was the perfect timing her doctor said you know whatever god you're worshiping he answered your prayers had we did the surgery and the year earlier we would have done something to you because the aneurysm the blood moved out of the dangerous area well whoever was talking to you telling you don't do have the surgery right now he was telling you the truth it moved out usually when it moves out it does more damage it actually moved from the dangerous so I was able to go in remove the blood nothing happened two months later after she did the surgery they discovered she has a tumor in her uros they said we hope it's not a cancer they go look at the first head now the second head her brain her cut in the skull still did not heal and now they have to go and open her again two months two and a half months before the two months before the surgery they said we do the surgery we do it back tomorrow she said no I already have my tickets to visit my family I need to go to Ethiopia and visit my family are you okay are you in your right mind nothing is going to happen I know let me just have the surgery after I come back she went had the blast with her family good time came back had the surgery no cancer had she freaked out the first time she would have lost had she freaked out the second time would have been for no reason but that's what happens to us something is you go freak out why calm down ask Allah have iman so that's why those people a lady like this her doctor told her is it your faith and then comes back after surgery and says the god that you were praying to answered your prayer because if I did the surgery just a year ago I would have killed you or paralyzed you so that's why brother sisters we are here to see this universe this universe in front of you look at it and witness that there is no God look at the sky look at it at night and say there is no God look at yourself and say there is no God look at your life story your destiny and say there is no God but one God look at the good and the bad and see the good as good the bad is good and become a testimony to that testimony that there is no God but one God inshaAllah if Allah wins I will maybe come back sometime it is about this how to live life with La ilaha illallah I teach a course alhamdulillah process of finishing a book live in peace or live in pieces that's any of the course of any of the book inshaAllah because that's we're not able to explain ourselves to ourselves to the Muslims a Muslim who's lost he wants to come back to Allah what's for me in it nothing you're just gonna pray and die thank you I'll go back to what I was doing and then muslim comes what's for me in it you just submit to Allah then when you die you go to jannah thank you I'm gonna go back to where I was we're not able to explain ourselves the beauty of our faith and if you were to summarize that fruit of there is no God but one God the fruit of it is you become one because you can become 10 easily in life oh my god my income is going oh my god my health is oh my god my loved one my son my son daughter my father oh my god this is happening oh my god I'm gonna be what they're gonna fire me for this next thing you know you are 10 not one or you can say oh my god and that's it and you take care of the rest so you either live in peace or you live in pieces it's your choice so that's why brothers and sisters you know this and what comes out of it it's really fruitful fruitful like fruitful I'm telling you your e-man pays off with another hit is usually how life tries you if Allah wins this is what I have observed in the stories I might be wrong this observation when it is one hit when it's one hit usually the person is gone and that's Allah's will and if he's a good person alhamdulillah he will go she will go to jannah when it's multiple hits that means you're gonna survive people when they have you know I knew this lady Egyptian lady there isn't a single body organ that she has that she didn't do a surgery for including her brain heart liver lungs anything you want she's done it and after the surgery you look at him like she's never done surgery before in her life some some ridiculous number of surgeries but she survived and she reached a long age old and she passed away like everybody else so usually you know people you know people would you rather take one hit and be gone or take multiple hits and please survive around but your faith pays off I'm telling you it pays off in dunya and it pays off in your grave it pays off on the day of judgment and it pays off the ultimate payoff which is jannah but remember before you go to jannah there's so much payoff before that here in dunya now here here because not everyone who's alive lives the same way there's someone who's living in peace and there's someone who's living in war inside him or her it's not the same it's they're not the same the people of heaven the people of heaven the people of heaven you look at them they know they are going through misery bombs are falling on them you look at them you realize this person is like he's in a state of someone who looks going it's not it's not like oh the people of heaven they have no bala and they're having it an amazing perfect life when there is an amazing perfect life that's when I go oops when when is it going to hit because life there's no there's no amazing this so if things are going perfect and that's you know I was scared before my sickness because it was going perfect for a while I'm like oh please please please what happened I used to get so sick when I was kid from age like 17 to age 24 nothing but sickness this last sickness it was a walk in the park compared to what I was going through I come to America at age 25 and I stopped getting sick all the way to 45 I'm like ya Allah please not even a flu some fever purify ya Allah please nothing I want to say I have fever I can't say that then Allah Azawajal gives you something to purify if things who wants things to go perfect right subhanAllah people go to the movies for fun imagine you walk into the movie and everything from beginning to ending the movie is perfect they get married they fell in love with each other oh man they're gonna get in trouble they don't get in trouble oh man someone else is gonna come and take nobody comes and takes oh man there's no way like where is the plot where the hell is the movie where's this thing you're gonna walk out I need some action man make it make it go wrong three hours you will not last without things go spicy something didn't fight each other and yet you'll get married and you want it happy ever after who wants that it's the fight that spices it up and then makes you angry I hate you I hate you too you know this and then and then after that you know I'm sorry man I love you more than ever can we fight again that's what real life is people are like chasing who wants who wants no problems you know people who have no problem they're all depressed you want a problem you want something to get you busy right just be solving something I'm listening to national public radio this girl inherited six million dollars she felt her life was uh uh fake she went and donated the six million dollars went and got a job went to college working and this she loved the struggle working and schoolwork she graduated started a small business didn't work went and got a job made money came back started another business and this and then she started a business what's the business healing the children of rich people she said I'll go to a person you know me and her what's the allowance of the kid 100,000 dollars a month so she said the first thing I tell them look at me do I look happy or I'm very happy I struggle every day you don't want this life with no struggle who wants that so she started a business healing the children of rich people by getting them out of that richness telling their parents take your money and go away bell gates left nothing for his children almost like the guy 54 billion the second he dies his children are barely left with 20 million and he regrets leaving them Imam Shafiq he said one sub fa'in al ali dal aishif in nasabi work hard the sweetness of life isn't working hard and struggling not in ease who wants ease so brothers this is our life here and we are here to bear witness that there is no God between God and we are here to be witnesses for others to see what does it mean that there is no God between God it means that I'm just to the best of my ability that I'm fair that I'm merciful that I'm good that I stand up against evil that I'm there for you this is I'm witnessing I'm a witness so people see that in my actions so I bear witness and I become witness Allah asked us both in the Qur'an oh you who believe be people who stand up for justice witnesses for Allah not witnesses of Allah witnesses for I mean people will see you as a my god he believes in a beautiful look at you look from the ends of the world Bangladesh God Burma China look at you why did your parents become muslims because they witnessed the Sahaba India Pakistan Bangladesh Afghanistan why Tajikistan Uzbekistan Turk why did they become muslim the tatar came from the heart of Mongolia and Kazakhstan to destroy the muslim world when they were done destroying them they're like man we destroyed the best civilization on earth they are human we're savages they came back muslims they came to kill every last one of us we should have been gone a long time ago then those Mongol which in Urdu Mughal comes and unite India and bring Islam to you the people who came to destroy us and finish us once and for all we were witnesses even our enemy learned from us embraced us who the one who came to us ended up carrying our message and going back and spreading it in a part of the world that it never reached before to the depth of China Mongolia Kazakhstan the foundation of tatar Kazakhstan is a muslim country Russia is 150 ethnicity that's what makes Russia Russia 70 out of the 150 are muslim tatters half of russia are muslims do you know that they were ruling that region then bazaars came and took it over but they stayed muslims whoever of you's heard of Bashkiristan crazy country called Bashkiristan a sister in our community alia where you from Bashkiristan i said i've never hear heard of that hygiene and there is a town called Bashkir they are part of russia a tatar muslim state minority that's what makes Russia Russia we don't know our own greatness that's what makes your grandparents become muslim because they witness someone who stand up for the truth they said i want to become like you so then the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said you will not move on the day of judgment until Allah ask you for four things about your time your wealth your youth and your knowledge the four resources that Allah give you in dunya now from here we move to stage number four al barzakh is an interesting alam barzakh means barrier you're not in dunya nor you are in the day of judgment you are in between how do we get an alam in barzakh we die how do we die it depends if you're a believer it pays off big time if you are a non-believer intentionally and evil and criminal you're gonna get the wrong pay off people think when they die angel of death shows up snatches their soul and leaves Allah would not do that to a believer believe it or not you know your value to the world the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the end of the world will not come so long as there is one person says la ilaha illallah we are the reason why the world is not ending because Allah will not let a believer witness the horrors of the end of the world Allah would not let you witness the collapse of the solar system will not let a believer witness that that's how valuable you are in the eyes of Allah will not let you go through the horrors so when it comes to dying Allah will not let you go through the horrors of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and say when the person is close to akhirah and leaving dunya Allah sends a delegation abd mu'mina Allah sends a delegation of the angels of mercy so they lie now in front of him in his sight in his foresight and they turn their faces to him their faces each one is like the full moon smiling at him and they bring with them clothes beautiful from jannah water from jannah perfume and hanout that we use to put on the dead person so that to give him a good scent from jannah so the person looks at them and they say you're beautiful your faces are enlightened who are you in god's name they say we are the angels the angels of mercy who's clothes that floor all these are your clothes who's that water from it shines like a pearl like a diamond oh this is you those two what are we why when you are about to die and once you die we will wash you put the perfume and put the clothes on you so what can i can i wear them you have to die first can i please die this is the reaction of the believer can i please die this is just wait a second the angel of death will come and we'll take you so okay i'll wait and then the rabbi sallam said the person will feed what you feed from a pinch and the soul will leave the body and the shower will start the bathroom delegation of angel taking angels taking care of you showering you putting perfume on your ruh on this essence of you in your consciousness on this ruh that is actually substance there is substance but we don't know that substance what is it made of and then they will put that clothes in you and then that group of angels will go up in a delegation the angels with your soul carrying it in that best clothes best wash best perfume and when you reach to the gate of the first sky they will the the angels of the sky the first sky has gates i don't know if that's what they call today black holes but it has gates and on these gates there are angels and the angels start asking who is this person and the prophet sallam said they call him with the most beloved name to him why to feel home so if your name is aisha but your mom used to call you ishii they will say this is mission words so you feel oh my god they call me with my most beloved name to my god i feel home my mom used to call me that fayadunah will be happy asma e ilayh the prophet sallam they will call him with the most beloved name to him you're spoiling him and then they will say to the angels the angels who are holding the gates of the first sky they will say to the angels who are carrying your soul they will say come from here enter from this gate and the other group they say no no no no come from our gate and the other goes no no no please come from our gate our gate is beautiful imagine when you are welcomed you walk into a city and so come and stay with my home no no no no come and stay with my home you feel my god so welcome am i so welcome that much that's so humbly so you enter through one of these gates only to experience that in the second scarf who is this he's full land such a full on full on a daughter of full on and they call you with your most beloved name can you come please enter from here honor above honor above honor above honor seven skies and then the soul with the angels of mercy meets its lord and Allah will comes Sulaam. You have pleased me and I am pleased with you and I will please you but I have taken an oath upon myself from earth I have created you to earth I will return you and from earth I will resurrect you again so go back with pleasure welcome in my kingdom and you the angels take you in a similar journey down back to your grave and after you have met your lord and had this pleasant conversation do you think you can have a problem answering the two the answers the questions of the two angels who's your lord you've just met your lord who's your prophet you've just talked about your prophet what's your mila al islam it will be very easy and then as Allah said Allah we tell the angels now this is the soul because no more the physical dimension height depth width and time no more we're not talking about that anymore now we're talking Allah says expand his grave subhanAllah why do people hate that you know why who can share with me why do people hate that and what comes after that what's what's makes muslim or non-muslim what makes you hate that what makes people hate that they are known jazaq Allah here they are known why do people hate the grave attachment to dunya why attachment to dunya because of its pleasures its beauty you don't want any of the pleasures and the beauty why do people don't want to be buried in the grave alone they don't want to be scared scared why alone loneliness that's one give me another darkness another six feet under surrounded by dirt locked so people go for cremation and mausoleum they don't want to be under the ground there's bugs decomposing for everything that you've mentioned Allah and his messenger gave you an antidote an answer to that six feet under becomes seven heavens above now small becomes vast the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says it expands the grave because it's not your body that is looking it's not the eyes of your body is that your soul can go through the wall no problem your soul can go through the wall so the soul is looking and there is no edges it's no more small it's not dark because Allah sends angels to enlighten your grave with their light and it's not lonely the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says when you're in your grave someone walks in you look so beautiful so handsome your clothes are so beautiful and your smell is even better who are you i don't know you who are you and that person say i am your good deeds you were busy giving me company in dunya now i'll be busy giving you company in your grave let's talk do you remember that day when you were walking and you saw a poor person and you said man i've eaten he hasn't eaten and you give him just you went and bought for him for a dollar or two and then he displays the tape in front of you oh my god i forgot that that was nothing no it was nothing for you but in the eyes of Allah it was big do you remember when you had a a Muslim friend and nobody knew that he was in trouble and you went and helped him and gave him 500 dollars oh my god i totally forgot that oh you forgot but Allah didn't and you're staying in a conversation with this person about your life your good deed that's why if i were you brothers and sisters and i am one of you i will be busy doing something good every day it's gonna come back and give you company when it's very boring because there would be nothing to do so subhanAllah the grave when you sit in your grave Allah opens two windows and there are 4d windows display 3d you see the thing popping up 4d you go for a 4d experience when it rains in the movie they make it drop water on you when it's the wind in the movie they turn the fans give you in when you are riding up and down your seats start shaking it's called 4d experience so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said they will be auto and you will see your place in heaven you will see your place in heaven and the angels will tell you Allah was fair with you it is there for you a space here and a space here and it was up to you to make the choice and you made the right choice so our Lord has commanded us to close the window of hell and to expand the window of heaven and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and when the wind blows in jannah it makes it to inside your grave yallah whose house is that and the angels will say that's your house yallah whose landscape is that oh that's your landscape whose tree is that that's your tree that wind why did it come from it came from your spot if this is mine yes can i go to it no you have to wait for what for the day of judgment yallah bring the day of judgment yallah bring the day of judgment yallah bring the day of judgment just like you wish that when you are done you're not scared the grave that is full of light very vast you see your place in jannah you have company on the top of that you have a company of the righteous people that are around you you have a total social life the Prophet made to her very profound way to drive me wow is that even possible the Prophet said yallah replace him with a home better than his home a family better than his family and neighbors better than his neighbors wow that's a whole social life are you that family and neighbors in a whole yeah well that's not scary that's good that's why you know i'm sometimes amazed some of the speakers with a good intention because they want muslims to become better muslims they scare them with the hadith that is meant for the non-believers and the criminals and the sinners and they don't explain to them the hadith that talks about the believers yeah at least be fair mention this and mention this so what happens to the believer you get to know what happens to the criminals and non-believers and murderers and evil sinners you get to know and then you get to know what happens to them on the day of judgment and then you get to know what happens to them in hell and the cases made to you that whether you are a muslim or not you might go that route whether you are a good believer or not you might go that route so what happens you give up you're like you know what i don't want to think about this but this is not how Allah explained things can we just stick to how Allah explained things and his messenger take everything i told you and flip it the angels of Allah described those angels as their faces are dark and scary people imagine angels all the time as cherubs and all of that no and when the person is dying he's so evil so criminal so murderer there has to be judgment Allah say in the Quran one of the proofs that there is day of judgment Allah say do you treat the criminals and the peaceful people the same way no you don't do you punish the criminals you want me to make the criminals and the peaceful people the same you want to say that there's no day of judgment after all of this injustice that takes place before God's of the human i weight bring justice do we make the criminals like the muslim peaceful people how do you make judgment do you judge like that in real life so Allah says if you don't judge that in real life how do you expect me to do that there has to be a day of judgment because criminals are not punished here they have to be punished somewhere so the Prophet says Allah sends dark angels scary looking and in the Quran Allah said and if you see when the angels of punishment are receiving the souls of the criminals they are beating them on their faces and on their sides you're actually getting a beating beating as if dying is not scary enough as if seeing scary angels is not scary enough you get a beating then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described that his ruh because he sees that his ruh runs back into his body and then the angel of death takes it out like one of you puts a plant of thorns inside wet cotton and pulls it each thorn takes peace of that cotton with it so his soul will come out in pieces why do you want to do that to yourself sometimes i think people don't love themselves and that's the problem because if you love yourself you wouldn't do that to yourself why would you want to move that drop what's pushing you what's forcing you nothing people run away from islam because i love myself no you hate yourself really you hate yourself who runs away from Allah it's what to be called cool damn it that's a damned action shaytan that is damned why do you want to be damned with it with him why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says they bring water from hell boiling they bring clothes from hell and the person sees and says who's this for they say this is for you and when is that going to happen when you die please yallah don't make me die but they let him die and he goes that beating and experience and then they go from heaven and eat and say what a bad smell can you not come from here can you go from the other gate so you feel rejected criminals feel rejected and they should they should pay the price they go up and Allah tells them i gave you a chance i reminded you i sent for your messages i gave you guidance i sent for you people to wake you up you refuse you want it to be stubborn you want it to do what you do so go back to it go back to where you came from and you have seen nothing yet so it's the opposite experience may Allah never make us experience that so the person sits in that barizakh world which could last millions of years millions we don't know how long is left in the life of planet earth before the die of just hundreds of thousands thousands a hundred years millions millions of years it does make it different if you live in a place for a million years and you see your place in heaven you don't feel time you are in a state of joy just anticipating to go to the next better state that's a good life but you want that who doesn't want i want that you should want that so that's the state of the barizakh subhanAllah then Allah Azza wa Jalla ends the world the actual world outside you're already dead and that's why people keep on asking when is the end of the world what difference does it make the prophet says when you die your qiyamah starts who cares of the world that didn't end you died you're done now your qiyamah your hesab has started and that's why from the get go you get the nice clothes good smell and good shower and have a nice grave or you're gonna be in the opposite who cares it's the end of the world what year does that and you know you see people going crazy about that the year 2000 people kill themselves may 12 2000 dumb there is one of the priests keep on telling Christians until they kill themselves on May 12 or something 2017 or 16 or 15 and then he stayed alive and his congregation stayed alive and he had the nerve to go back and teach i don't get it you're supposed to be dead man what are you doing anyway that's his choice if i don't know i don't come to qiyamah your qiyamah is the day you died so but there will be the end of the world and the end of the world Allah will not let a believer witness it and people go crazy signs of the day of the judgment okay mashallah okay the Mahdi has to come and then then then the jail has to come and then jesus has to come and then you have to come and they're gonna come you know just wait a second they're coming do you know when tatar and mongolians attack the muslim world do you know muslim scholars at that time and the public were talking that those are yajuj and majuuj and that was the end of the world because it was let me tell you just one piece of information there was a muslim kingdom called khawarizm tashqand had Uzbekistan part of afghanistan in it the tatar came downsized the population from two million to two hundred thousand 90 percent of people were slaughtered that's just their breakfast before they entered the death of the muslim world without heroshima and magazaki how many people died 250,000 people without a nuclear bomb without an airplane without a missile without a tank without a gun without a machine gun without a rifle without a bullet tatar killed a million people in one month in baldad and some narration two million they kept so many people didn't know how to count that's the day of judgment but it didn't come so instead of you know our dean energizing us no mashallah muslims are experts in making their dean destroy them their own dean destroy them you know no need for enemies with friends like those who needs enemies mashallah between al qaeda and isis and god those who else which king who supports which movements who needs enemies but what our muslims have down side they went to the signs of the day everybody oh the jail is coming and this speaker becomes very famous because he's talking about that job and one of people like why because you're talking about something else you're not talking about you he's not talking to you about you he's not talking about you changing yourself he's talking he's getting you lost in some nice scary stories or it's a movie but this movie might be true and I might be witnessing it if the jail is coming soon I really advise you change and get this sunnis are making fun of shia shia are making fun of sunni that's the good news we're killing each other sunnis are waiting for who al ma'bi shia are waiting for who al ma'bi they're both waiting for the same god mean well can we just kill each other we get nothing to do so we might as well kill each other until al ma'bi comes mashallah it's mind-bubbling mind-bubbling waiting for the same person which we shouldn't wait we should be doing our part we should be like no we're not gonna wait if he comes ahlan wa sahlan alhamdulillah we are honored to see the great great great grand son of the Prophet ﷺ if he doesn't come alhamdulillah we are honored to serve Allah serving Allah and doing what is right is not waiting for a person what kind of deen is this the Prophet told you something might will happen at the end of time you don't know if it's the end of time or not so do your part the whole world is doing their part working together improving their countries building infrastructure respecting the human and in our countries we kill the human for what so that this person is called powerful the best war lord the best leader the most one who killed his people the richest and the countries are destroyed Allah may Allah forgive us for what we have done to the imid of Islam because this is not witnessing for Allah this is witnessing against Allah we are witnesses against Allah and it's definitely plots our enemies are plotting but we are stupid for these plots to work on us there's someone they're plotting they make no mistake i'm not in delusion but why why nobody can plot about something with someone else except muslims no the only one who plots against muslims are muslims yani the enemy of the yani billahi someone walks into a family five brothers five sisters from the same moment that grew up in the same house exactly the same family someone walks in and give 10 guns until then you know what you should kill one another they start killing one another now you're going to blame the one who gives them guns he should give you a thousand guns and you will not kill your own brother and sister so it is a plot it is a conspiracy but who to us and shame to us that these conspiracies are working not working with anyone else except us that's why you really have to change walla i see our hope subhanAllah when we came from our respected countries beloved countries honorable countries we came carrying a lot of baggage we came for dunya and here you are sitting learning about akhira because Allah had a better plan for you than you had for yourself we are the hope of the muslims as far as i can see we're not under oppression we're not under them we are the hope because imagine if we're living in Syria right now Libya Yemen Egypt it's crazy they'll be in jail that's the good news they'll be in jail you'll be dead and you will see your own wife and son and daughter killed in front of you so after the barzakh you know obviously you are in the barzakh world the end of the world takes place and Allah this explains the end of the world and muslims when they hear read the ayat in the Quran they don't know how to differentiate between the ayat that talks about the end of this world and the beginning of the new world they mix between them but that's a whole other thing i don't want to get into that i'm trying to benefit from this lecture i don't i'm not trying to make you go home with information but rather with transformation you want to go home and do it do do it do your salah become part of the umma join the umma find a muslim organization that stands up for mercy justice peace that does something good in the name of Allah work with muslims work with muslims help one another stand together that's the way to jannah so then the day of judgment happens i told you 40 it rains for 40 until all humanity resurrects and on that day brothers and sisters there is only one prime real estate location and it's not the big area it is to be under the throne of Allah when there is no shade or shadow except the shade of his throne because in the beginning of there is a rakshan the sun it seems implodes and becomes very close to earth so it becomes very hot bottom line and you are either in shade or you are not in shade there's only one shade and one is the shade of the throne of Allah if you're not the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam prescribes some people sweating to their ankles to their knees to their waistline to their shoulders to their ears and some people drowning their own sweat because it's so hot and they're so scared you know when it's cold room and you get scared and nervous you start sweating in a cold room now imagine the combination of you're scared and it's hot so people go through the resurrection and people think that when they get resurrected they get resurrected and then Allah judge them and then they go to heaven or heaven you would wish they actually wait for 50,000 years as Allah mentioned in the Quran and the prophet elaborated 50,000 years 50,000 years 50,000 years 50,000 years 50,000 years and people are waiting just for Allah to start the judgment and why the 50,000 years are going Allah is recreating the world in front of everyone because they didn't witness how Allah created it the first time but they will witness this time so they know Allah is there so Allah people start shaking and shivering and the earth is shaking and shivering you know we live in an earthquake may Allah save us and our loved ones inshaAllah and if Allah decides to take us in an earthquake may Allah consider it as Shahada for us inshaAllah make us Shahid inshaAllah Ameen Ya Rabbi Al-Hadami so the good news about earthquakes is one of two things earthquakes are short at the end of the earthquake you will either be dead so you've got nothing to worry about you're not going to feel scared anymore or the earthquake will stop and you're not going to feel scared anymore now imagine this combination the earthquake is not stopping and you're not dying it's not stopping it's shaking and volcanoes and everything is coming out whatever's making the earth heavy is coming out like the core of the earth the iron core is coming out and the human will say what happened to earth you know you know when you get on a plane you have only one wish one can we land because earth is security for you in one you know when you're in a boat or in the sea you have one wish where can we go back to the land because land is secure steady stable now imagine when the earth under your feet is not secure steady or stable and it doesn't want to stop and it seems into into different surahs that Allah you know like the earth will be hit and will be hit again it's like two comments will hit the first one then the second one but things will be shaking and shivering and the people will be like ya Allah please save us ya Allah but they are not they are not asking for judgment because they know what comes after judgment is trouble so no one is asking for a judgment because nobody knows what's going to happen after judgment after 15 000 years humanity gives up and they go and they start looking for anyone go to Adam he's the first human being Allah created him with his hands taught him of his knowledge he's very close to Allah so ya Adam you are our father the first human can you please make dua to Allah that he will start the judgment we've been waiting for a long time please can you and Adam alaihi salam says I cannot Allah told me not to eat from the tree and I ate from the tree go to Noah left for a thousand years made that what he's honorable in the eyes of Allah ya Noah you made that wall for 950 years you were very close to Allah ya Noah Noah says Allah gave me one Da'wah Allah gives every messenger a Da'wah and he either uses it in dunya or na'firah all the messengers use their Da'wah in dunya except Prophet Muhammad so he said I used my Da'wah in dunya I made dua against my people and Allah answered my dua I cannot save you Allah destroyed my people but Ibrahim ya Ibrahim ya Ibrahim says and that today is not Sayyidina Ibrahim alaihi salam when he was alive what we what we call today and almost the truth to Ibrahim alaihi salam he was alive so Ibrahim alaihi salam when the king in Egypt wanted to take his wife he told his wife there is no believers on planet earth except me and you so if they ask you about me say he's my brother because I'm your brother in faith I'm but don't tell them I'm your husband because if you tell them I'm your husband the soldiers will kill me instantly but if you say I'm your brother they'll put me in jail so they came Sarah was very beautiful extremely beautiful and the king was a woman minister any beautiful woman he captures her and sleeps with her rapes her so Ibrahim they said who's this she said he's my brother so they took him to jail and Sayyidina Ibrahim's kept on making sallah sallah dua dua and she went to the king and the king every time he tried to touch her he froze try to touch her he froze he said can you make dua that that Allah will release me and I will not touch you so she made dua Allah released him then he tried to attempt second time third time what would this Sayyidina Ibrahim would say I have lied I have a sin I told my wife to say I'm her brother when I was her husband when actually he didn't lie she was his sister in Islam like your wife is your sister in Islam so I don't know I can't imagine that imagine what we have said go to Musa, yeah Musa Musa said I've killed one of the phils for no right and I have you know done this and that I'm sorry go to Isa yeah Isa and here is where my heart bleeds for my Christian brothers and sisters because the whole gist and premises of Christianity is that Jesus is our saviour and he will talk to God on our behalf only if they know that when they run to Jesus in the day of judgment he will not talk to God on their behalf nor he is your saviour their saviour and he will tell them you know no one can talk to Allah today except this man go to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam so what they want from Jesus is actually in Prophet Muhammad and you feel sorry man like I want the same right we don't worship Prophet Muhammad he's not a god he's not the son of God but the gist of it why they're calling him god and the son of god so that he can intercede on their behalf he died for our sins so the idea is intercession Shafaab al Shafi'ah Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam why are you wasting your time Sayyidina Isa is above our heads and in our hearts but he's not a Shafi'ah so the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam does do Shafaab the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam humanity comes at his feet and that's why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said I'm one of my names is Al-Hasha which means people will on the day of Hashir on the day of crowds they will come and crowd at my feet and back that I will make du'a so I get up and I go and I make sajdah between the hands of Allah and Allah inspires me to say certain hamd and fana and make a certain du'a that I don't know now but my Lord will teach me on that day and I'll make that and my Lord will say raise up your head and ask and I shall give you each prophet and messenger used to say to the humanity to humanity Allah today is angry like he was never before and will not be after so don't ask me to talk to Allah today so the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam make du'a make hamd make fana and Allah tells him he said ya Allah your creation has been waiting for a long time start the judgment and have mercy on them Allah said and your call is answered he says ya Allah I have another request he says and you shall ask and he says ya Allah I know I have the last messenger and I know my ummah is the last ummah but can I ask you to judge them first and Allah says and you shall be granted that too so the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says some of my ummah will be in heaven for hundreds of years while the rest are still getting judged outside privilege honor today people come up with some I don't know what kind of ideas they want to take Prophet Muhammad out of this don't talk about Prophet Muhammad he's he's just delivered a message I just follow the Qur'an I don't follow the sunnah I don't follow the hadith I don't believe in the hadith I just the Prophet Allah sent him to deliver the Qur'an mashaAllah to deliver the Qur'an so that you can make this year to it not the Prophet those people they have no one other than Allah on the day of judgment and the power of shafa'ah that he gave to his messenger no one and they spend their lifetime oh we don't believe in the hadith there is hadith and there's hadith and but in the Qur'an it's all and it's all authentic and hold on hold on let's apply your method on medicine there is a good medicine there is a bad medicine you used to give people aspirin pelvic aspirin pay aspirin oh it's blood thinner okay well I sure what is this medicine you give me blood thinner and I don't want to take medicine ever for the rest of my life do you do that with medicine Allah sent us doctors in the early ages of Islam that collected the hadith and told us this is hadith not fabricated this is weak because of this and this is strong and in the strong there is plenty of benefit and if you want to follow the body follow the the week but nowhere is it sweetness and nowhere to use it and one not to use it very simple Allah sent us doctors that told us this is good medicine and this is keep away from it you come and say I don't want to take medicine at all just like when I was about to start my six months of chemotherapy may Allah reward some brothers and some sisters out of love sheikh please don't take chemotherapy I said what shall I take when am I in french fries what am I going to take I need to take a medicine please give me one sheikh you can homopathic and this and this and I said okay can you please have some I'm going to take the black seed I'm going to take honey every day I'm going to drink ginger every day I'm going to take turmeric every day but Allah the messenger of Allah said Allah did not reveal a sickness but he revealed what and he cured with it and whosoever knows it knows himself the Hajj Kingdom for 40 years they've been treating it like a clock it's the only cancer and textbook that has a cure not a treatment what do you want me said okay I will follow your love and your care give me the number of this guy whom I have to talk to and ask for medicine so I called the guy take the guy with it hello sir hi I want you this is I said I just have a straightforward question for you have you ever treated someone with Hajj Kingdom for when I went to medical school he started in information for me but when I went to medical school there was a guy that came and he had stage four brain cancer and my teacher they have given up on him they didn't give him a therapy he even therapy and he healed him I said you didn't answer my question have you treated can you tell me I have 10 cases of Hajj Kingdom for my treated through my method and show me and let me call them no actually and this is when I fell on the floor laughing because he was honest and then he caught himself that he was no I actually had a patient she was taking chemotherapy no she she was diagnosed with lymphoma it was non-Hajj kill lymphoma and they told her take a medicine she didn't she came to me I treated her for three months but then it spread all over the place and she she did not went with me to the end of the treatment so she went back and they told her you came back too late and then she died did you just say that right medicine take medicine so subhanAllah the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam don't people with you know with some ignorance that you don't follow the hadith and not follow the sallallahu alaihi wa sallam you know what you're doing to yourself you're the only card you have on the day of judgment you've just thrown it away yeah Bismillah go go to your judgment without the shafa'ah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and see the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam you know when I told you people wait for 50,000 years the Prophet has a basin a lake for him water comes from jannah from naher al-kawthar ends in this lake people are thirsty to death on that day the ummah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam comes to him and Allah gives him the power to know so the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said this this like pool this lake has cups hung on its edges the number of the cups is like the number of the stars of the sky because the ummah of raha hamr is a large ummah so you have your cup with your name written on it you take your drink and some people the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam give them the cup with his own hands come to you and then some people come to drink from that cup and Allah pushes them angels come and push them away but Allah says my ummah the Prophet says you don't know what they have done after you they've made inventions and they didn't want to follow you and they didn't want to believe and they don't want to so you understand what they do so don't be from those who change their religion and started making stuff up right and left because you want to change Islam to fit you you don't want to change you to fit Islam because you want to become a good muslim but your own way and you don't want to transform and change so you want to change Islam to fit you and you kill it when you do that and with it you kill yourself and it doesn't work the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says once someone drink from that cup he will never ever she will never ever experience her thirst ever after that it's like a the preview tickets for jannah khalas no thirst for you yaani no jahannam for you subhanallah brothers and sisters the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam give that cup and his ummah drinks and then the Prophet talks about al-arj and talks about the shade and then talks about something for you and I to aspire to he said there are people who are not prophets, messengers but the prophets and messengers and suhadda and sallallahu alaihi wa sallam envy them on the day of judgment they sit on seats member made of light and they face each other and they sit having a good time during the site of the day of judgment when everyone is going through hard time the prophets and messengers and suhadda and sallallahu alaihi wa sallam envy them yes who are they those who loved one another for the sake of Allah people don't know that anymore today people will befriend the people whom they call we click we have chemistry some biology and mathematics and physics too we have chemistry which I don't understand chemistry you are a human being what chemistry we're not talking about H2O we're talking about you human feelings mind intellect heart so if you make me laugh we're friends you don't interfere in my business we're friends we like each other a few personalities like my personality and you like laughing and this and going out and movies and it we you know but but if you want to get in my business and you want to start you know advising me and no I don't want you that's not your sister in Islam that's your friend it could be anyone who's your sister the one that if she sees you going wrong she will talk nicely with adab with respect but she will talk she will not remain silent he will tell you and you shall be very happy that someone told you there's something wrong with you you shall kiss them on the forehead and say thank you jazaq Allahu khilam like Sayyidina Umar Al-Hattab used to say may Allah reward someone who gifted me my faults you gifted me oh thank you now I know what to work on so today what we want we want just friends and fun and this sometimes your sister in Islam or your brother in Islam sometimes you click it comes it's gonna come anyway friendship comes but sometimes you don't click but you still love them because you know they're a good Muslim at heart but some way somehow their personality does not soothe your personality today they made us so self-centered so selfish so cornered so zoned out so in our world that if anybody says anything remotely criticizing our holiness will become bothered and we don't want to talk to them anymore why they're so rude why do they get in my business you want someone to be in your business and save you and wake you up and warn you come on people this is the people that the prophets and messengers and shuhada martyrs and salih will envy them on the day of judgment because they didn't build friendships based on who do I click with them you can click with anyone and everything can bring a cat and click with them if you want someone not to answer you can bring a dog but a human you want someone to you can want someone to talk to you to tell you the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say the believer is the mirror of the believer do you look in the mirror when you wake up in the morning do you look beautiful as if you're already ready no the mirror reflects exactly subhan Allah in the books of sira it tells us Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Saddi and Sayyidina Umar were two different personalities they were opposite personalities they used to get on the nerves of each other all the time but they loved each other more than anything else we don't know how to do that because we're not mature like we they made us babies we get hurt very easily we get intimidated very easily we're so emotionally immature anybody says anything you iraq like a volcano of nafs and pride and arrogance how how are you going to make it to jannah like that that's what got shaitan in trouble he erupted explode like why shall I make the sujood we why he's better than me shhh Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say something go with it do first ask questions later people come and ask me a question you know why did Allah make a pork haram very good question to ask Allah in jannah just make it to jannah and ask what would you want just secure okay why did you make pork haram make it to jannah first well you're gonna eat pork now because you don't know why it's haram subhanallah so that's why the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said so Allah starts the hizan Allah starts the judgment and Allah start judging people and when Allah judge people he judges them in two rounds the first round Allah brings the case for them or against them so judgment when it comes to judgment to groups the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say that believers that are meant to go to jannah Allah does not question them about details Allah talks about them in general about their life in general but no questioning in details the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said whosoever Allah questions him about details he will be in trouble no no questioning about details and that's the beauty that's another payoff of being a believer that's what you get for being part of that club you don't get questions about details Allah tells you good job but you could have done better you feel embarrassed you feel move move right but why did you do this why this detail why that detail why did you know you you are out for trouble God knows where you're going to end up after that Allah might forgive you or Allah might make you go through him Allah knows best so that's why the believers go through Arab not his Arab Arab means just exposing Allah expose them to them speaks to them individually but then you know they move on the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that people will be judged and then the kafir and the munafiq when Allah brings the case against him would say Ya Allah I didn't do that they will try to get away with it maybe I can lie get away with it maybe I can get away so Allah gives you fear try it this is the case against you one two three four so the person says I didn't do that so Allah Azawajan says okay then we're gonna we have to bring the witnesses so now the witnesses come in the second round of judgment the second round of judgment before it starts the first round people will deny reject say that didn't happen please ya Allah I never said subhanAllah Allah asked Prophet Nuh every prophet did you convey the message to your people so Sayyidina Nuh said Ya Allah nine hundred and fifty years Allah asked the people of Nuh did Nuh convey the message to you they say now Ya Allah by you he didn't so Allah says in a proceeding of the court Ya Nuh do you have witnesses and Nuh says yes Ya Allah says who he said the ummah of Prophet Muhammad or my witness read Surah Nuh and be ready Inna arsalna Nuh adhila qawwi an andir qawmaka min qabli aiyatihun khadabun Ali read it and be ready to witness for Sayyidina Nuh it's a fair and square court proceedings so Allah Azawajan in the second one now the first one people that went through the hesab some people out some people hesab the one who went through out there's nothing to argue about he made it alright and the one who went through hesab he's denying and doing yes and no yes and no and this and that's why we have to judge ourselves before Allah judges us so then Allah Azawajan orders the books of your records your entire life story that were written by both angels to be given so they fly the records the people the believers subhanAllah Allah give them power in their right hand and they take the book in their right hand and they get excited they say come come read my book i knew that there is a day of judgment i prepared myself oh my god look look look look look at my book i knew i thought that there will be a judgment i prepared myself for this day haf doing isha good life high heaven go Allah gives them their book with their left hand behind their back he says i wish i was not given my book i wish i was never resurrected and went through this i wish i died and never was resurrected my money is gone my sultan is gone that's why everyone sisters we don't run from learning about the day of judgment for like we run to it we don't run away from it because the more you're acquainted with it the more you're ready with it you know what the prophet said you know that journey of the person going up in heaven and coming back to the grave and the two angels coming and asking the prophet says when the criminal the kathir the criminal the evil the one who did a lot of injustice right when he comes back he's already he's in a state of shock he never thought about angels he never thought about life after death he never thought about angels he never thought about Allah he never thought about ruh he never thought about heaven and hell he never thought about hesam so the prophet says the angels will be asking him and saying manila hook who's your lord and he will say the prophet literally said this like this he can't answer he can't focus angels spirits souls jinn heaven god skies levels punishment i'm not ready for this i didn't i don't know anything about he's in a state of shock right and the believer is just came from a delegation and they're asking who's your lord my lord is of law he's ready he's looking at these angels who are smiling at him and he's smiling back the prophet said about saeed nauma the angels come and ask him who's your lord he says who's your lord i know who's my lord allah he's ready he's not scared you know so the idea is acquaint yourself people read quran and namaban and i don't know what they're reading are you paying attention like are you paying attention please read a page in arabic then read the translation in front of it urdu persian english french whatever you want just read the him let it get to your heart you're not here in a race oh allah it's your book but i assure you i didn't understand anything really is that what you want to answer allah allah it's it's a mind-boggling and you come on people you don't have to be a read the translation but read a good translation i mean i hear of translations today that are coming out wallahi my blood is boiling my blood is boiling what is this people deny there's no jinn there's no arwah the moon never split for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in when in the translation scientifically academically when the ayah says something if the tafsir of the ayah in your head is different you translate it exactly from arabic to english then in the footnote you write and the meaning of that but you don't insert today people insert the tafsir in the ayah in the translation you know if they do that in in a college they kick him out from being a professor for life because it's called fraudulent you're committing a fraud you mistranslate intentionally so people are so scared oh no no muslims are going to read the Quran and they're not going to become muslim and they're going to hate us and they're not going to have a comfortable life let's change the Quran i have a copy of the Quran right now in in in my copy and i'm going to ask the administration of every masjid not to let not to distribute these copies by allah the Quran is getting changed from our community in front of our eyes what is this what if they are your god they're going to make hesab for you yeah he translated as allah put it then put the explanation fine but there is a man there is a scientific academic a man if it says something in arabic don't change it to something else in the core of the translation put footnotes put explanation that's why brothers and sisters i want you to may Allah guide us to that which is best and may Allah inspire us but you see then allah sends the books and the person says and he says i wish and then allah says it's enough that you judge yourself you don't need me to judge you so the person start turning and allah says in surat al-kaaf that the criminals they say why this book does not leave a small thing or a big thing but here why why why the small things we can't get away with anything they found it in front of them and your lord will not oppress anyone this is your deeds read your own deeds your own book it's enough that you judge yourself today that's what allah tells the person and then the person says but yeah allah this and this allah says okay you're still denying okay still denying allah orders the mouth of the kafir shop and allah orders the hands and the feet to talk talk so the hands start talking and then the person looks and then allah opens his mouth and says who to you why have you witnessed against me i was just trying to save you from him why did he witness against me and your phone hand and skin will say the one who make anything speak the one who make who made anything speak made me speak i had no control i had to testify to what you have done with your hands with your ears with your eyes with your mouth what you have done with your feet where did you walk to i had to speak so allah says ha the case is made or not you have the book of record and now and then allah brings the angels who used to write witness and then allah brings other human beings to witness that you harmed them and hurt them allah brings them to witness and allah brings and then the trees the rocks the land that you were talking standing on and it will witness for you or against you that's why when we're done with salat al farul we move a little bit and we pray sunnah in a different spot because every spot you pray in it will witness for you on the day of judgment so you increase the number of spots the prophet says if one of you is traveling in the wilderness and the time of salat comes let him make allah and the adhan for no tree or rock that hurts him but will witness for him on the day of judgment Ya Salam Ya Salam the trees are witnessing for you Allah if I were you you know when you go to school go under every tree so subhanAllah walhamdulillah wa la ila illa allah wa laqqa did you hear that okay next tree subhanAllah walhamdulillah wa la ila allah wa laqqa because that tree hears you that bird hears you that rock that you're sitting on hears you subhanAllah make things witness for you that's why I tell you if you need to get busy you need to get busy going out and doing some good deeds get excited there is nothing more exciting than this what do you want what's the wish of any other any human I want to live forever young beautiful healthy no financial problems no problems whatsoever from any other human being I want to live forever and Allah says your wish is granted that's why I created jannah that's why Allah considered this in the Quran one of the proofs that jannah and jannah exist because every human wishes for it there's no human that doesn't wish this wish and wants to apply it in this life so in the world of logic they say this is deductive so can I get hungry and there is no food such thing as cold food in the world is it possible if there's no such a thing called food in the world and I wouldn't eat hungry can I get thirsty and there's no such a thing as water or anything that quenches your thirst you wouldn't get thirsty can I wish for jannah and jannah doesn't exist it doesn't happen it doesn't exist the fact that you wish it is actually the proof that it exists look how the Quran was like unbelievable right crazy every human wishes for it you know subhanAllah so the people go through the second judgment and once the judgment done is done darkness falls on to the world and the sun goes from light to what we call dead dwarf star the stars light will go off the sun light will go off and it would be nothing but total darkness before this incident I'm trying to rush so forgive me if I forget something I will try to remember before the incident of the darkness Allah Azza wa Jalla as part you know when I told you Allah gives you the book that makes you make it the skin of the catholic witness and then the good things witness for you or the bad things witness for you the final stage of judgment is an mizan so that just to make the case so Allah puts your good deeds and your bad deeds in the mizan and you want your good deeds to be more than your bad deeds you know how nice is Allah like how Rahman Raheem Karim is Allah this is my body what does it take for you to go to hell very hard very difficult to go to hell why because for everyone good deed you have to do 11 bad deeds because for everyone the good deed Allah gives you 10 for you to go to hell as a Muslim for everyone good deed you have to do 11 so that then your bad deeds are worse than your good deeds how nice is this how easy is this Allah just wants you to try this get in get your feet wet move and then you give one dollar sadaqah one dinar one dirham seven hundred minimum yeah for every one dollar sadaqah you have to do seven hundred and one bad deeds that's why people think and if Allah is just there to get people put him in hell no no no no no no it's very hard to go to hell but some people it's very easy for them they live their life bad deed after another after another one comes to good deed they're enough energy bad deed they are energetic hajjimi so after the mizan the darkness fall and subhanallah the people under the shadow of the throne of Allah they'll be in enlightened and the people who might not meet it with the shadow of Allah but they made it through the art and he said they glow in the dark the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his Sahaba said ya Rasulullah how would you know us on the day of judgment when the darkness fall how do you know who's your umna if not who not your umna he said I will know because the parts where you make will do will be glowing in the dark so that's the barakah of your will do subhanallah so when you make will do take your time this is light and go above the ankle and go above here the elbow and the ankle and go above you know and do your ears all of it from inside and you need that Allah Azza wa Jalla says the believers their light is in front of them and on their right you know when you want to go you know there's a light and there is another light that you want to see you know move right and left so your right hand will become a tool of light and in front of you your face because you make will do look inside your mouth inside your nose your face your head and your ears they will be all lighting up so where is the light going in front of you so that's where you want it what be a man in him and on their right hands subhanallah so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then at this point the hypocrites they say okay we were from the Imam of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we can make it um so they run with the believers and then they notice the believers have light and they don't have light so they say can you give us from your light please like you got so much light can you like do like this and then like give me some of that light and Allah angels call upon them and say stick back you shall get something stick back look for your light subhanallah what's the monaafiq the hypocrite in the essence when it came to islam and he found it hard he stepped back so his entire life the hypocrite is all about what stepping back so Allah says your whole life was stepping back okay step back you want light step back so they step back Allah brings a wall between the believers and the believers this side is adab this side is rahmah so the idea is from one side it will be adab one punishment one side it will be rahmah and then the believers march with their prophets sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on prophets and messengers towards jinn here is an issue because it's darkness on the other side people will be running away from each other in the darkness not seeing where they go and as they run they find themselves falling into hell and the believers guided by the light that Allah gives them see where is the location of the seerat so they go to the seerat or go to jinn to see the seerat in itself is ni'mah because you wouldn't even see the seerat if you're not from this group you'll be running in darkness until you fall into your face in hell may Allah never make us experience that Allah make us reach Ramadan and make us witness daylatul khadr and make us from those who have you've decided in your ultimate hidden knowledge that they will never go to jahannakya there may your guests in jinn ni'mah so they go to a seerat and some people go like lightning some people go fast some people go slow some people are muslims aren't they gonna go to jannah but subhanallah that's why when Allah purify you in dunya make you go through sickness or hardship thank Allah because Allah purifies the believer in dunya with bana if it's not enough Allah will purify him in his grave if it's not enough Allah will purify him with the horrors of the day of judgment if it's not enough Allah will purify him in hell that's the last resort you shouldn't go there you shouldn't be in anywhere anyone of these let Allah purify you in dunya and thank Allah that's why the Prophet ﷺ said when people look at the muslims who are from the people that Allah tested them in dunya they start wishing why ya Allah you didn't make us from Ahlul Bala ya Allah why didn't you give us a hard time in dunya look these people have a hard time in dunya now they have a hard time in easy time in ahya subhanallah and today you're saying ya Allah why did you give me a hard time tomorrow you'll be saying why Allah you didn't give me a hard time so that's why brothers and sisters this is very very important to see things with a positive lens positive everything happens is positive Allah said Allah purified Allah does whatever he does subhanahu wa ta'ala because there's a contract between you and Allah the contract Allah says I'm going to make you live a good life have a good grave have a good day of judgment and go to jannah but I'm gonna do what it takes to go make you go through that now this is what you have to go through no ya Allah I don't wonder why did this happen you just trusted me right I'm gonna have to do you trusted me this is what you need man you need this problem so that you can get out of your arrogance you need some humbleness you need to be humbled you need you need the money to go away from you because it blinded you what can I do but I love you so I took the money away from you you were so healthy I took the help away from you you were so famous I defend you you were so up I put you down no no no Allah doesn't hate you Allah is fulfilling his trust he's making you go through what you need to go through so that you can make it to jannah in surah al-arim Allah says say Allah who owns everything who owns ownership itself you give kingdom power authority to whomever you want and you take kingdom power and authority from whoever you want and you put up give to whoever and you humiliate whosoever then Allah at the end said what you raise the manta shah what will be manta shah and then Allah said be yadiq and khayr all of this is khayr Allah makes you part strong khayr takes power from you khayr makes you rich khayr humiliates you make you poor khayr why does he make you go through what you need to go through so you have a fantastic life grave day of judgment and go through jannah you're looking where you're looking here today tomorrow Allah is seeing the whole infinity line because you're not going to die in jannah where are you calculation today and tomorrow where is Allah's calculation infinity you trust him or you don't if you trust him go with it be thankful anyway go ahead freak out how is that going to change the situation okay go ahead freak out yeah bismillah freak out don't have something you know what don't have something something is not good for you yeah how does that change it doesn't change it makes things worse now you're stressed and depressed Allah says that in the Quran you think this is me Allah says what you don't like what i'm doing to you dig a hole in earth and go down or climb a ladder in the sky and run to another universe you don't like what i'm doing to you don't know where you go where do you want to go this is an aya in the Quran that's why make peace with it live in peace man make peace with it what is going to happen to you the worst that's going to happen to you will happen to you which is death and that's not the worst for the believer that's the best thing i mean what what's someone going to do to you what's gonna happen to you lose your money that's not the worst lose your health that's not the worst but the worst thing is going to going to lose your life. And you're going to lose your life. Everyone has Yaqeen in that. Muslim and kafir. So what's your problem? People say, oh I'm scared I'm afraid. That's why subhanAllah, Islam is liberty. You're not scared anymore. You're not slave anymore. We came to take people out of being slaves and worshiping other people, to being slaves and worshiping Allah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. That's what the Sahabi said, to dustum the leader of the Persian army. Why did you come here? We came to take people from the worshiping other people and the slavery of worshiping other people, to worshiping Allah and from the hardship of dunya to the ease of dunya and akhira. Philosophy, message clear. Summarize Islam. We came to take people from the hardship of dunya, We made people relaxed in dunya and in akhira because they got nothing to fear. So next time you get hit with something and you're about to freak out, just talk to yourself like, well okay, I freaked out and then nothing is going to happen. So let me have it with you. Ya Allah help me, khalas. Whatever Allah wants to do to this body you can do to this body. That's His business. Any way this body will be given to you and will be taken away from you. And it will be decomposed. And when it decomposed be with me you're not going to care about it. You're going to be okay, I'm glad you're gone. So I can have enough space in my grave now. Literally. And you spend your whole life trying to wash and shave your body and put soap in it. It still smells like dirt, so halam not. Anything comes out of you is disgusting. Sweat, boogers. What if everything comes out of you is disgusting? Because you're dirt. That's what comes out of you is dirt. And people want to compete on whose dirt is more beautiful than the other dirt. Wallahi, that's a waste of time, waste of energy. That's a waste of life, man. That's a waste of life. You're meant for something bigger and better. So they pass the seerat, the believers. But then there's something very interesting and that's why I tell you, find a group of learning. Where's your Quran halakha? Where's your transformation halakha? Where is your Islam, Iman, Ihsan halakha? Be with the Muslims because here is something for you that you've never heard. No one enters Jannah as an individual. You only enter Jannah with a Jannah. Then once you enter inside, you get your individual spot. Read Surah Al-Zuma. Wasiqa al-Ladheemat taqa wa rabbahum ila Al-Jannah. The people who go to Jannah, they go groups. Even the one that, like he didn't have a group, Ya Allah, I was in the Eskimo, there was no other Muslims. Allah assigns for him a Jama'a on the day of Jannah and takes him into the Jama'a. Ya Yatuhinna Sur Mutma Inna Irji'i Ya Rabbi Kiradiyat al-Mardiyah. Why didn't Allah say, No, first. Enter the group. Then you enter Jannah. So if you're not with a group, if you're not learning, if you're not, ya'ni, inshaAllah as I am coming out of this sickness inshaAllah, not this coming Monday, following Monday is my surgery inshaAllah. I'm doing a small surgery because it was a double hit, but Allah twice saved me. The first one was hatching an informant, the second one was thyroid cancer. So they're going to move the right thyroid inshaAllah. And then we go back to learning. So inshaAllah, I look forward. If any one of you wants to learn how you're serving, you know, I believe in Sufba because that's the model of the Prophet ﷺ. I'm not interested here to become your sheikh and on the top of your head, then you massage my feet and kiss my hand and bow down. I don't like that. I don't want that. We want to learn Islam together. The Prophet ﷺ was the best teacher. His sahabah were the best student, yet they were not referred to as the teacher and his students. Today everyone wants to have my students, my followers, my students, but are you better than Rasulullah? Rasulullah had companions, friends. And that was good enough because through companionship and friendship people change, but through dumping knowledge that has no relevancy to the world and to the daily life and no mirrors, no one giving you feedback and you're giving them feedback and they're giving you advice and they're giving you advice والعصري إن الإنسانة لفي خصر. إلللل لإن أامنه. Plural. You have to believe together. You have to learn your deen to become a mu'min. Together. وععملوا الصالحات and they do good deeds. Plural. Together. What the wasaubil haqq, they advise each other. Stick to the truth man. Can you change this about you sister? But don't get, don't get your feelings hurt. I say this because I really care about you. If you have anything to say to me, please teach me. Don't say that many times, you know, we grew up in the Arab world, I had no interaction with women whatsoever. So when I started teaching sisters in America, I was very harsh and I was like very, I didn't know how to talk to women basically. So sister said, she can you not say that, I said, wallahi jazakil nakir. Do you know that that sister does her feelings are hurt, wallahi I didn't mean it. I didn't know, no only you said it and you know when you translate Arabic to English, you know, and then you're teaching and you're saying something in Arabic but you're saying it in English, you know, you're talking Arab easy, you know, you know, not Arabic or English easy, but Arab easy. So your expressions comes harsh and I didn't know the culture and I didn't know what you should be sensitive, may Allah reward them, the people who were around me that were my friends and companions, they've taught me a lot. They fixed my accent, they fixed my expressions, they fixed my spelling, they fixed my pronunciation. I wouldn't have been able to speak like this fluently if it wasn't for the feedback of the people. Did it hurt my feelings? No. You know, I came to America, I used to say I'd be a witness that there's no bad but one's bad. So someone, because I did it, it was bear, but then bear is the bear in the forest, right? So I said that I don't want to be insulting to the name of Allah. So I said I bear witness that there's no God in one of them, I said there's no bear. And I didn't get that, I'm saying bear, right, I'm running as in Arabic they say you ran away from a rodent, from a mice, you fill in a pig. So I ran away from bear, feeling it's disrespectful, I ended up with a bear, which is worse, right? So someone said don't say bear, bear, I said bear, but that's the animal, it sounds the same, but that's the way, wow, I've been saying that for six months, that's so embarrassing. Why did you say this, I said now I got to know you and I can talk to you as a friend. You see the blessing with friendship? But when there's a distance and the teacher makes a mistake and nobody gives him a feedback, that's a problem. And when you give me a feedback, I might give you a feedback on your feedback. I say if you say this is wrong, no actually it's right. So you bring your proof, I bring my proof. Now we end up with a discussion. This discussion is called diratsah in Arabic and Allah prays the believers in the Qur'an that they are yadrusoon, they give feedback and they do have a discussion. But this whole idea that the Sheikh and Maulana is the untouchable, unreachable, always busy. I'm busy doing what? Like what are you busy doing? If you read books, you can read two, three hours a day. So what are you busy doing what? But because I'm telling you, this job that Allah gave certain people, it comes not only with privileges, but it comes with responsibilities. You know the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, where was his house? Right next to the masjid. His rooms, his families were across from the masjid. You want Rasulullah, you go to the masjid, he is right there. Accessible. Sayyidina Dawood alaihi s-salam used to close the doors once a week, one day a week and not talk to people just for worship. Allah wanted to teach him a lesson. He made two people run over this and come to him and he made the wrong judgment. And he said astaghfirullah, Allah said don't close the door. So I didn't know, today scholars are better than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was more accessible in Medina than our scholars today. You're busy doing what? Aren't you supposed to be fixing as the Arab poet said, oh ulama, you are the mih. You are the salt of the bed. You know what we use salt for preservation? How do you pick up things with salt? You preserve it from going rotten and from rottening, right? So he said in the shaykh, oh ulama, you are the salt of the people. What are the people going to do, going to do if the salt goes rotten? Where are the people are going to run out? They run from an ignorant to an ignorant. And when the scholar comes, he comes from one door and leaves from another door. And you have to kiss his head and you have to disappear after that because he is busy. Busy doing what? You have to do the work of the Nbiya and Mursaleen, bi-suhba, Rasulul Mahi wa sahabatuhu. So you either sahabi male or sahabi ya, female. And the ladies came to the house and said, oh Rasulullah, ghanabak aaleena rijab. Men took over you. This is not fair. He said, what do you want? They said, khasas lana yawman. Give us one day, khasusi for us. Fahasas alahum na yawman khamees. Thursday became the ladies' day in the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ. Men are allowed in the Masjid only for Salah and they have to get out. Friday the next day the ummah comes, the men and women no problem. Thursday, ladies' day. You understand? People have to have access, they have to learn. So inshaAllah we all embark on a journey of transformation. InshaAllah, inshaAllah I will be reachable to you as much as I can. And you know maybe I live in Santa Clara and here but then I can come once a week, whatever this and that. And we can sit down and talk and you can ask me personal questions and general questions and how and advice. It doesn't have to be a question, maybe what can I do? Maybe I don't know but maybe I know someone. You know people come to me, can you interpret the dream? I say I'm not strong in that but I know someone who's strong in interpreting dreams. Someone comes and asks me, I have this problem with inheritance and this. I know the general rules but I didn't specialize in this. This sheikh I know him he's very good. So it doesn't have to, I don't have to have every answer, we have a solution. But there will be no transformation if there's no sohba, no companionship and fellowship. That's the method of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And then the believers, they enter jannah in groups but before they enter jannah sometimes there's two believers that have unfinished business. So Allah says there is a rule in jannah. People inside they love one another, no one holds resentment against one another. You have to finish it. With me you have no problem. Between you and me, God's right fulfilled. People's right, you didn't take any right from anyone so that's why you passed the judgment. The hardest thing on the day of judgment is you took the rights of the people. So you say Allah forgive me, Allah said you didn't take my right, you took his right. If he forgives you I forgive you, if he doesn't forgive you I don't. So that's why don't take anything from people, don't oppress people, stay away from them. Allah when it comes to personal sins, willing to forgive you like nothing. Just don't be consistent in the sin and don't insist on it. That's all. With the people you are on your own. That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the one who died as a martyr, if he owes someone money on the day of judgment he will not be forgiven until the other person says I forgive you for the money you borrowed from me and you didn't pay off. You understand? So don't mess with people, don't take their rights but be there for them, advise them, let them advise you as believers, as Muslims to feel the blessing and the beauty and the dynamics of the ummah. So before they enter Jannah there is Al-Qadr, so they stop and they sit down. Why did you say that to me? Man you heard my feelings and then they say okay, I forgive you. And the other one says I forgive you. Allah says now you are welcome into Jannah. Because Allah said, We took out what was in their heart of hatred and like holding grudges they will become brothers facing one another. SubhanAllah, some of the ulema of Tafsir said, why did Allah say facing one another? They said because when someone sticks next to you and you have to twist, your neck will hurt. So in Jannah there is no hurt, so Allah sent them in front of you. No suffering even when that small it inconvenience. Mutakabilin facing one another. You are on your salir and they are on their salir. SubhanAllah, salir means a place of sitting very comfortable. So obviously there is a place which is called Al-A'raf when which the people who don't make it to Jannah, nor they make it to Jannah. And they look at the people of Jannah and they say, Ya Allah don't make us with them. They look at the people of Jannah and they say, Ya Allah make us with them. Eventually at the end Allah bestow His mercy upon them but after a while. Because they were not desires, they were on the edge in dunya. So they become on the edge in Makkah. So don't be on the edge. This subject, life after death that I have summarized in the world of Nassamat, the world of Ruh, Arwaah, the world of Al-Arhaam, the world of Al-Dunya, the world of Al-Barzakh, the world of Ayumul Qiyamah and then the world of Jannah. InshaAllah Al-Alami. Obviously we have not spoke anything about Jannah and Jannah and we can, there's no time for that but you know that's the whole other thing. It's explained in the Qur'an in detail so that you have no confusion about that. We are in the middle of the road and everything that comes ahead of you depends on what you do here. Olivia was something that has profoundly changed me. About 15 years ago, after learning and learning and learning and learning about life after death and the grief and death and this and that of Jannah, I walked into a zone of fear that I like literally lost the appetite to eat, to sleep, this and this and I got into, became sick and pale and lost so much weight. So Allah reward him one of my teachers, mentors and friends. He came and said, what's wrong? He came and visited from Chicago, I was here in Fresno, California and then he said, what's wrong with you? I said, I'm just so scared, I just don't know. Every time I think of the details and I actualize the experience, it's just scary, it's very scary. And he looked at me and he said, that's good, that's good fruit of Iman that you are actualizing and being scared. Now this is scared, you need to turn it into energy because I'm not scared of any of this. I said, what are you talking about? He said, I'm not scared of any of this. I said, what are you scared of? He said, I'm scared of dunya. I said, how? Explain. He said, does Allah change His word? I said, no. Does His Prophet say something not true? I said, no. Allah said in the Quran, He speaks only the truth. He said, if Allah says something and promises something and says something, would He do it or not? He said, if you do a good job in dunya, didn't Allah promise you a peaceful death? I said, yes, He did. Didn't Allah promise you an amazing, beautiful grave? I said, yes, He did. Didn't Allah promise you to be from the Aminine and Aminoon, the one who is secure on the Day of Judgement? I said, yes, He did. Didn't Allah promise you Jannah? I said, yes, He did. He said, and all of this is dependent on what? And that's when it hit me. I cried and cried and cried and cried. Non-stop, for our God knows how long because I realize the scariest thing is in our blind spot. This dunya, whatever you do here, everything else depends on it. If you do a good job here, Allah doesn't change His word. He will not, oh, trick you. Oh, you did a good and then your grave will be a bad place. He will not do that. So what's the most scary thing is what you do here and your choices here, because based on these choices, your grave, your death experience, your grave, your resurrection, 50,000 years of waiting, judgment, passing over the seerah, going to Jannah. It's all dependent on what you do here. And here sometimes we just get lazy, stressed, stingy, coward. And that's why the most beautiful dua, one of the most, and they're all beautiful, but one of the most relevant, amazing, powerful, needed, needed, needed, needed dua is on the Prophet ﷺ say, Allahumma inni ya'udu bi ka'min al-hammi wal-hazam, wa'udu bi ka'min al-ajazi wal-kasal, wa'udu bi ka'min al-jibni wal-bukh, wa'udu bi ka'min al-hamma tiddaymi waqat al-rijan. Ya Allahi seek refuge with you from helplessness and laziness, two items. Wa'udu bi ka'min seek refuge in you from stress and depression and I seek refuge in you from cowardness and stinginess. And I seek refuge with you from the plots of men, the plots of people against me and from the burden of debt. These eight items represent like what holds us back, laziness, helplessness, stress, depression, cowardness, stinginess. I mean before all of this, do we even have an interest? Are we interested? Like are you interested? Or are you not? Like you really want to be interested. This is you on the line, not someone else. So I want to end with that. I want to say may Allah have mercy on all of my brothers and sisters who are buried in five bilis and in every other. I mean including my father, your father and anyone who's buried there of relative relatives inshaAllah. May Allah make us live a life of khidna and service and worship. May Allah inspire us to learn the right knowledge. May Allah inspire us to make the right choices on the right knowledge. May Allah inspire us to want to know and discover the Qur'an and the sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ. May Allah make it interesting for us and interest us in making a deep transformation from inside out Ya Rabbi. May Allah enlighten us, may Allah help us, have mercy on us, forgive us and guide us in every decision that we make Ya Rabbi. May Allah make our life a life of work and a life of service and a life of meaning that has meaning and purpose. May Allah make us die a death of peace. May Allah make our graves part of Jannah Ya Rabbi. One of the gardens of Jannah Ya Allah. May Allah make our resurrection an easy resurrection. May Allah secure us from the fear of that day. May Allah make us a resurrected from the prophets and messengers and martyrs and righteous Ya Rabbi. May Allah put us under the shadow of His throne where there is no shadow but the shadow of His throne. May Allah make us drink from the hand of the Prophet, a cup that we never feel thirsty after it Ya Rabbi. May Allah make us from Ahlu l-Iman, from Ahlu l-Nur on the Day of Judgment that we have light. May Allah make us pass over the Seerat quickly and get to Jannah Ya Rabbi. May Allah make our Shafi'ah on the Day of Judgment our dear and beloved Muhammad ﷺ. May Allah make us honourable in His eyes. May Allah make us want to seek being honourable in His eyes. May Allah make us seek Him and love Him and want Him and desire Him Ya Rabbi. May Allah make us want to know and follow and walk in the footsteps of His dear and beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. May Allah make us from his sunnah, from Ahlu l-Sunnah, from His people who want to follow His footsteps, from Jama'at, from Muslim, from those who worked for the sake of Allah Ya Allah and from those whom Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah. May Allah make us from those who are honourable from Al-Muttaqeen and may Allah make us at the end from those who are winners, Al-Fa'izun and from Al-Wuflihun Ya Rabbi Alameen, Allahumma Haameen. May Allah send His ultimate peace and send upon His dear and beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his people who are with him. May Allah grant us in this world a good life and in the Hereafter a good life and grant us the pleasure of the Fire. May Allah show us the truth, the truth, and grant us the following and show us the true, true and true. May Allah make us easy on our death and make us strong and make us believe on the Day of the Greatest. May Allah make us from the people of Jannah and not from the people of Fire. Ya Rabbi Alameen. Allahumma Ya Rabbi, anatina wa rahmina wa aafina wa aafina wa aafina ya akraman lakramin. Subhana Rabbika Rabbil Izzati anana ya Sifoon wa salamun alal musallina wa l-hamdu lillahi wa l-hamdu lillahi wa l-hamdu lillahi wa lillahi wa l-hamdu lillahi.
