 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه والتابعين ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين وبعد نبدأ بقراء الله سبحانه وتعالى ورحمة صلى الله عليه وسلم نسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى ورحمة الله سبحانه وتعالى ونسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى ونسأل all his companions those who gave their lives those who were told that theirs is paradise but that did not make them arrogant rather they still sacrificed their lives in a way that today the dean is with us may Allah bless them and may Allah unite us with all of them in paradise and we ask Allah to bless also those in the chain of scholars of this dean who have come down from that time to our time who have struggled in various ways in order to preserve the dean protect it, convey it to others and we ask Allah to make us from the same brothers and sisters it is something serious this dean is a gift that Allah has bestowed upon us ask yourself why is life so short why is life the longest from amongst us meaning the one who has lived the longest from amongst us would not exceed 100 years in most cases why is it such and these years are calculated through these hours that are so short the minutes that the hadith describes where رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم says towards qiyamah time will be crumpled time will be crumpled in a way that the year will pass as a month the month will pass as a week and the week will pass as a day and the day will pass as an hour and that is where we are today you would clearly remember 2-3 years ago as though it was yesterday may Allah سبحانه وتعالى protect us why is life so short it is because this is not the prime aim and this is not what Allah has actually planned for us as an eternal abode no, he has another place that he has made and he wants us to earn it and we have an unruly child and this is a very distant example but solely to bring it closer to our minds we might entice the child to say if you would like to play with your iPhone for 10 minutes you need to earn it by reading Quran for 10 minutes or you need to memorize this chapter when you hand in your work I will allow you to play with this for 30 minutes so the child is earning something but you are a loving father you love your child you must have bought that particular iPhone or whatever it is for the child himself or herself but as an incentive you have kept something so that they achieve and you set down rules and regulations if you do this which is something bad I will penalize you by deducting the hours this is an example that is a dunya way example belongs to this world but Allah سبحانه وتعالى يتحدث عن شيء أفضل من the very beginning He has told man وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون ما يزق وما الرزاق ذن قوة المتي الله says I have not created mankind or mankind except so that they worship me and this is in the temporary life which the hadith describes as an average of between 60 and 70 years so just for 60 70 years you will have to worship Allah and so will I and in return what will He give us He gives us a paradise the door of which from one side to the other will be a distance calculated not in kilometers but in years it will take a person 40 years of jannah to walk from one side of the door to the other and Allah is saying سبحان الله you've only got 70 years max approximately saying here in this world and that too is such that it's calculated with these minutes that move so fast there was a time and this is a miracle of the Quran when Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked what is the distance between a certain place and another place of the Akhira he replied so many years people looked at him distance is not measured in years it's measured in you know in our days we would say centimeters meters inches kilometers miles whatever you have that you say for example 2,000 miles a million miles why would he say so many years but people jotted it down when he said that the scent of paradise can be smelt from 50 years away الله أكبر this is mentioned in many Ahadi the smell of it 50 years away certain crimes are such according to the sharia that when someone engages in those crimes they are told you will not be able to smell the scent of paradise although its scent can be smelt from 50 years distance away it means you are not even going to come close may Allah not make us from those like pride, arrogance may Allah سبحانه وتعالى protect us from such crimes so when it was described when distance was described in years there came a time now recently a few decades ago when they tried to calculate the distance of the stars and they said if a person at the speed of light which is extremely quick if a person had to move at such a speed not for an hour but not even for a day or a week for one whole year speed of light one whole year we will call that one light year one light year look at the word year it came back now new technology telling us calculated through years the closest star that we have here is four and a half light years away did you know that? سبحان الله the closest star to us is four and a half light years away which means at the speed of light if you were to move not for a minute or two for four and a half years you would come to the first star so much so that when we look up we are seeing a reflection of the light that is actually perhaps of a star that might have already been extinguished four and a half years ago and we are still seeing the light because it takes that light four and a half years to come to us that's how weak man is we are so small and so insignificant and Allah says we will give you a paradise if you do what? if you worship us and we have made worship easy for you oh man you know the verses I read a few moments ago Allah says Allah is not asking you for sustenance He is the provider He is the one who gives He will give without Hisab without a measure no measure take what do you want say it it's yours imagine you just thinking and next thing it's yours I was travelling here in the city and we saw a gold mine a huge gold mine I don't know if it's operational at the moment but these mountains and you move half a kilometre and it's a gold mine and then you think to yourself imagine if I were to move for 40 years in a car and that was still to be my gold mine people would say oh you the richest man in the world not 40 years by car but that's speed top speed and the years are calculated multiplied وَاِنَّ يَوْمَنْرِهُ وَاِنَّ لِمْبِكَكَا الْنِسَنَةِ مِمَا تَوْدُوا One day with Allah is equivalent to a thousand years from that which you count in this world So if I were to say 40 years it's actually 40,000 of our years now one might ask a question that why in the Quran is the term 50,000 years used in one place no contradiction 50,000 is describing يجب أن يكون لديك فرصة. لكن بعد ذلك في الآخرة it is 1,000 years. So one day is equivalent to 1,000 years. So in fact not 40,000. If it's 40 years each day in those years is multiplied by 1,000 years. I don't even know it's mind boggling. You definitely need to be a Zimbabwean to understand those figures. May Allah SWT bless us. May He open our doors. Wallahi my brothers and sisters. The dirty, smelly sins that we engage in are not worth it. When you read the hadith of Rasulullahﷺ wherein he says on that day an adulterer or adulteress will be recognized by the stench of the private parts. You feel disgraced. May Allah forgive us all. Imagine the stench of the private parts. Give the person away. This man is an adulteress. May Allah save God us. If that is what it is. Those smelly sins are they worth it? If you look at the other side. Jahannam is such. Allah has kept it in a place where you have to cross it to realize and recognize now the gift you are entering. In Surah Maryam Allah describes this bridge that is on top of Jahannam. We would call it Sirat. And that bridge you have to cross it. It is here like those who are conscious of Allah who are engaged. They have tried their best in engaging in the pleasure of Allah and abstaining from prohibition. And seeking constant forgiveness of Allah. Allah says for them they will cross like a flash. We will save those who are conscious of us. Who had Taqwa. Piety. Those who feared us. They feared the punishment. We saved them. They will cross that bridge like a flash. But as for the others. May Allah not make us from amongst the letter. As for the letter. They will cross. They will wobble and trip into Jahannam. May Allah not do that to us. It's like tight roping. But not tight roping. Tight hearing. If that's a word. Like a little hair. You know what's a rope? How many hairs? A whole lock. It's like a plate. This is just one hair. Like imagine how will we cross. May Allah make it easy for us. So when a person sees that. And then he's saved. He understands and realizes. One might ask why does Allah describe Jahannam. It's quite dooming to be honest with you. Because some people do not change their habits. And they do not feel that they need to do anything. They do feel they own nothing to Allah. Until they are given such warnings. That they are frightened. Like I always say. This is an example we all will relate to. Let them put a 60 kilometer zone here in Binoni. And let them start trapping. I don't think anyone would not break. If they knew that there's a trap right here. We would break. Because why? There is a limit. We don't want to cross. We are worried about a thousand ram fine. That's all we worried about. So Allah says sometimes you need to know. We have limits as well. But because the fine is not described to you. You think it's okay. You know I got a connection there at the traffic department. We'll squash the fine. That's the word they use. We'll squash it. Bribery will never help you in the Akhira. Not at all. No squashing there. We get squashed. Allah protect us. Really. So this is why Allah describes Jahannam. Because you need to know what's the fine. So that when you come to the limit. You break. Slow down. This is the limit of Allah. And Allah uses the word limit. In one long hadith. In صحيح مسلم. And even in صحيح البخاري. Narrated by Mu'man ibn Masheer. رضي الله عنه. He makes it quite clear. That Allah has limits. And what are his limits? What he has made prohibitive. Those are his limits. You don't cross them. حرام. Break. If you crossed by mistake. A speed higher than the one you're supposed to have been. What happens? You're worried. If you know someone. Look I'm very sorry. The traffic man stops you. Say I'm very sorry. You know. Okay let's put bribery aside for now. But I'm very sorry. Please. You know I was in a rush or something. So on. You know. One man. And Allah protect us. You know. People like to deceive. So one man says. The best way is you keep a bottle of water. As soon as he stops you. And the guy is walking to your window. Pour the water on your lap. And tell him. You know I was desperate. I'm sorry. Allah protect us. Allah protect us. That desperation will never help. That is deception. Look at how low we can stoop. To get away from a thousand. Two thousand. Fine. Why don't we realize. That the fine that is in place. For crossing the limits of Allah. Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala is far higher. So Allah described Jahannam. But some people don't like to listen. They say. Don't tell me. It is just like the people of Quraish. When Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Was reading the verses of Hamim. As-Sajdah. And he got to the verse. فإن أعرضوا فقل أن ذلتكم صاعقة. مثل صاعقة عاد وثمود. If they are going to turn away. They are going to cross the bounds in our limits. If they are going to deny or turn away. Warn them of the punishment. That was sent to Aad and Thamud. He put his hand on the mouth of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. And says. Stop. I don't want to hear. And he walked away. So some people don't want to hear. So like we say. Certain people put their breaks. When they know how big the fine is. Certain people that doesn't help them. When they know something else. The good side of it. Subhanallah. When they know some. The good side of it. They work towards it. For example. If I were to tell you. That you drive according to the speed limit. And if you have no points on your license. In the countries where they issue points on the license. And you have worked at this workplace. For 10 years. We give you a salary increment of 10,000 pounds. For example. I think a lot of us would make sure. That we have just set our vehicle on the limit. That's it. Why? Because to get an increment of 10,000 pounds. At today's rate of 1547 to the pound. And that's the real rate. Believe me. It's a huge amount of money. Immediately we would say. You know what? It's not worth crossing. So why are they breaking? Not because of the fine. Because they want to get. What they've been promised. So Allah. Subhanallah knows man. And this is why Allah describes. Jahannam first. So those who want to work. To save themselves from Jahannam. It works. And if the people are not ready to listen. Because they feel doomed. Then the other one works. Because now you're getting a payment. And you say your price. Allah says. Say what you want. We'll give it to you. الله أكبر. So today we are here to describe a little bit of this. We ask Allah to bless us. Do you see the gathering we are seated here? If Allah allowed us to see the unseen. We would see angels around us. Protecting us. Making dua for us. We would see the mercy of Allah. Descending upon us. Because we are seated here. Remembering Allah. And we would be able to hear. Allah سبحانه وتعالى. يجب أن نسألنا. By name to the angels. Because the Hadith says. Whoever gathers. In order to listen. Anything to do with the remembrance. Of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. A lesson for the deem. To try and go forth. Or the zikr of Allah. Subhanahu وتعالى. The angels surround them. There is mercy. That descends. There is sakina. Which is the comfort. The beautiful feeling within. The spiritual kick we would call. Which is descending. Subhanallah. For all of us. The spirituality right now. Is totally different from what it was. Before we had come here. And it will be different. Once we leave. So you want to effect changes in your life. The promise needs to happen here and now. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless us. So let's look at what Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Says. Before we embark. We need to look at the general atmosphere. Today. We have hatred in our hearts. We have pride. The hadith says. لا يدخلوا الجنة من كان في قلبه. مثقال. حبت him من خضل him من كبل. A person who has a mustard seed. Weight worth of pride in his heart. Does not qualify to enter jannah. May Allah protect us. We sometimes work against one another. We don't like this brother. That brother. When we get to jannah. May Allah grant it to us. Say I mean because you don't know what time. Of قبولية. What time of acceptance of dua it may be. May Allah grant it to us. سبحان الله. With Allah سبحانه وتعالى. It is amazing. It is something beyond our imagination. And I was saying moments ago. If Allah had allowed us to see the unseen. We would see so much. This jannah that is being described for us. Like I was saying. Today. We are going to hear something. But when you see it. It will be totally different. Why? Because the hadith says. فيها. ما لا عين رأت. ولا أذن سمعت. ولا خطر على قلب بشر. Remember these three things. عددت لإبادي الصالحين. ما لا عين رأت. ولا أذن سمعت. ولا خطر على قلب بشر. Allah is saying in a hadith. I have prepared for my pious worshippers. Now when we hear the term pious. We are looking at the uncle with the long white beard. And he is saying. Perhaps him. Perhaps this one. It is about time. We asked ourselves. Where do I fit in? Hope is for everyone. So much so the hadith says. Allah created mercy. Divided it into 100 different portions. He released one. He kept 99 for that day. We are being hopeful. If the kuffar knew. Of the hope of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Not a single one of them. Would lose hope in entering Jannah. Did you hear that? And if the مؤمنين knew. Of the punishment of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Not a single one of them. Would feel safe. From being fallen in. Or dropped in. Or cast in. May Allah save God. Look at the balance that we have here. So that is the mercy we are asking for. When we get there. The brain we will have. Will be totally different from the one we have right now. So you're thinking now. That if I'm going to be with this husband of mine. I don't want to go to Jannah. That will not operate there. Because your brain will be different. And his will be different too. And if you're thinking this woman here. If I'm going to be with her. And I can't go. But she tags all day. All night. No. You will not have that brain. No old she. Your heart will be perfect. Perfect meaning. Complete. Today we have defect. You know with our skin sometimes. With our hearts. We have not only physical. But even spiritual defect. There. Nothing like that. Perfect. Complete. Imagine. The description of the size. Of a person of Jannah. 60 دراع. What is a دراع? Two opinions. It's either a meter. Or a foot. Because they say. If it is a foot. It is calculated from your. Elbow going up. So at the time of Adam. If a person was that tall anyway. That distance would be much more. So let's say a meter. If it is a meter. It is 60 meters tall. Me and you. Look at the buildings in town. I'll be taller than that. And if it is a foot. Then it's 18 meters. So one of the two. Still. Some of us are barely 2 meters. We between 1 and 2 meters. Imagine. The size. So what type of a body will you have. Complete. Do you know there will be no excretion. Only secretion. Secretion means that which is beneficial. And excretion is that which is a waste. No waste coming out. If you sweat. The scent of it is better than mask. We walked into the Masjid here. Mashallah. Could you smell the بخور. Tonight we might speak of the بخور. Of جنة. We already spoke of a scent. That can be smelled 50 years down the line. Something came to my mind. Let me say it before I forget. You know the حور. Of جنة. The scent of one of these. See the youngsters already smiling. You started. Waiting for this. The scent of the حور. It is said that if one. حور was flashed. Into the dunya. The entire dunya. Would have smelled the حور. The scent of the whole world. Will change. Just by a flash. Of one of the حور. Imagine what type of a scent this must be. Today people are looking for. An إطر. A smell that lingers. Why they say when I leave here. People must know that I was there. They say that. Amazing. Imagine if you just had to drive by. With your car. And people knew. This car passed. And they're sitting. One kilometer away. That wouldn't be. But this will happen. In جنة. Where. From a distance you can smell. جنة itself. We already spoke. About 50 years away. Subhanallah. So the brain you will have. Complete. This is why. You won't understand. How can I get. The same wife. Or the same husband. People are saying. I'm working. For جنة. I haven't missed. God. Give me at least. Something good. You know. People. Their minds. Are so small. And weak. That we look at it. In that direction. No way. You will see. What will happen. Allah will grant you. Perfection. What you want. Subhanallah. There is a description. Of the spouse. And I'm just. Jumping a bit. Because I've realized. It's a long topic. And if I don't. Say things. That come to my mind. Right now. We may. Slip up a little bit. Later. I've been given. Two hours to speak. You will. Look at. Your spouse. Whatever you are. Thinking of. At the time. In terms of description. Shall be the description. And if it is. Changing. Whilst you're looking. It will change. Whilst you're looking. Tall. Short. This way. That way. This complexion. That. This type. The other type. This smell. That smell. This clothing. Subhanallah. This way. That way. As you're thinking. It's all changing. Allahu Akbar. This is only to put it close to your mind. And you know what? You will be. Looked at. Similarly. By your spouse. With their own. Mind control. Today we have. Eye control. On the S4. You know. That means. You look. And the screen says. I recognize your eye. We will have. Mind control. Let the S5. Come out. It will never compete. No ways. It is something interesting. Imagine. And one extra point. That is valid for all of us. To try and look at how mind boggling it is. If you would like to look like something. You will look like that to yourself. But the person perceiving you. Will look at you. How they want to see you. Subhanallah. And if you don't want to see someone. They won't be seen. And if you want to see them. They will appear. As you're thinking. It's happening. Subhanallah. And Allah describes. Some of. You know. Today you have an outing. They say. Let's go camping. They put up a tent somewhere out there. And they say. Don't worry. This is. You know. Proof. What do they call it? Heat proof. Proper thermal. And you don't worry. And still you're freezing in it. And you're saying. Hey. This is. We hear in the eastern. Transval. And it's so cold. And you guys were saying. This tent is like this. And like that. There. You have a tent. 80 meters high. Made of what? Pearl. Subhanallah. Amazing. Something. That is mind boggling. And. You know. The bricks. In جنة. Will be. Gold and silver. But. Not the. Gold. So. Pure. That it appears to be. That's the description. Silver. So. Pure. That it appears to be. Glass. With a different tent. And the. Feel of it. Will be so soft. That if you had to. Press it. Or touch it. It's building. It's very high. Try and build a building with butter. Won't work. Even in our winter. These are just some of the mind boggling things. So this is why you see. You will see. Let's move a little bit further. Allah. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says. To us. And he's made it very, very clear. And we've heard the verses of Surat Al-Rahman. I know a lot of us would understand. Me. Allaa. إي ربكوا ماتوا كذبان. Which is it of the favors of your Lord? Do you deny all mankind and jinn kind. But what about the verses intertwined. Between all those. We don't know them. We don't know the meanings of a lot of them. Go back tonight. And insha'Allah. You read. Because as it is. You'll just be looking at the ceiling. All night tonight. And you'll be just wishing. Subhanallah. So you'd rather open that book. And start seeing again. Insha'Allah. والله سبحانه وتعالى. في الأفضل ، نرى that Allah has prepared something amazing for us. Something amazing. I was speaking to an atheist some time back on an aircraft and he told me you guys believe in paradise. I said yes. He said there's nothing like that. I said what guarantee do you have? He said look you live you die so just enjoy your paradise here. And immediately it struck a chord. I thought of a hadith of Rasool Allah where he describes our paradise being the one in the hereafter. And this place is full of restrictions for us. And those who don't want to hold those restrictions for them it's a paradise. So I told him look what do you worship? And we got to the conclusion that he worships his brain. I said okay you worship your brain according to your brain. If I am right what happens? And if you are right what happens? If I am right you go to hell. And if you are right I join you wherever you going. Common sense. So I'm either working for something or for something. Which means whatever I'm doing I'm still going to get to either paradise or to wherever you going. So I've lost nothing. But if I am right then you're not going to come to paradise. And if you are right then you're going to still go wherever you're going. So do you see the probability from a brain point of view? He looked at me he says you're a nutcracker. What nutcracker means his brain is now cracked. That's what it means. May Allah protect us really. So common logic will tell you you're a fool. If you think you're going to die and you're not going to go some way. I want to tell you when you are dreaming and I am dreaming do you know what happens? You dream of the best things and sometimes you dream of the worst things. If you're having a nightmare the person right next to you can they tell that you're burning in fire. They can't. He must be somewhere in Jannah. You know? He must be somewhere in paradise. Something good happening to him. Really nice happening to him. Like the one man says he was dreaming and someone was trying to pay him. And they were paying him 50,000. And he says no I need 100,000. And whilst they argued and debating the man next to him woke him up. Because he said no I want 100,000. This man says no 50,000. Take it or leave it. So when he woke up he says why did you wake me up? I was about to get 100,000. Then he quickly closed his eyes and said okay I'll settle for the 50. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. You are dreaming when you wake up the dream is over. You are in the real life. You cannot close your eyes and go and ask for the 50,000. Similarly when you die you will wake up into the real life. You will never be able to come back and ask for the 50,000. Your Sajdah did not come here. There you won't be able to do it. There are billions of people in their graves hoping and wishing they could come back for one Sajdah. We are sitting here alive. May Allah accept our Sajdah. Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah. But never miss a single Salah. You want paradise. The Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ says it very clearly. He says this commodity of Allah is not cheap. It's expensive. Today you want to buy a Rolls Royce and a Bentley. You think they're going to give it to you for free? Never. You're going to pay a very high price for it. Very high. So high that if someone were to sketch it with a screwdriver you would pay with one Corolla. Just to repay that. You know it. So if you want Jannah. It doesn't come just free. You need Iman. That Iman's value is so high. That because of لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله Allah can grant you paradise. That statement. You utter it with Sidq. With truthfulness. You work towards it. You try your best. You will get your pages. Your pages you will receive. May Allah grant us our pages in our right hand. And everything will be written. The Hadith says Give good news. You know. would actually be translated also as a place in paradise. So it would mean also. Give news of paradise to he in whose pages or on whose pages lots of استغفار is scattered. So you see one page. There's 20 30 استغفار is here. Another page another 20 30. And what does استغفار mean? Oh Allah. I ask your forgiveness. What will happen if every page of yours has استغفار on it? What do you think غفور الرحيم is going to do to you? May Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless us. You want to look at Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Don't just look at him as a Nabi. He is an example to follow. He is a Nabi and a Rasool and the best of creation. The last of prophets. And Allah has sent him so that we can follow his example completely. So if you are trying your best to follow that example. Wallahi you will be recognized and picked up. Picked out. And you know what you will be granted. The شفاعة and intercession of the same Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم because he has the loftiest rank on that day. He can intercede on your behalf and mine. But the شفاعة is he needs to be able to recognize me and you. There is a narration where he says do not disgrace me when on the day of judgment you come and I say اللهم منني ومن أمتي. Or Allah this person is from me and my umma. And you find he says أما شعرتما فألوا بعدك والله ما برحوا يرجعون على أعقابهم. You don't know. Don't you know what they did after you? They kept on turning away. That is an embarrassment. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم saying this is from my umma and then we are exposed to say this was just a show. Not from the umma. He was just pretending inside something outside something else. We call it a coco. May Allah protect us. Bamboo. We don't want it to be that. So this is why work hard. Then we earn. And what we earn. Allah has explained very clearly to us. He says Do you think that we have created you in vain without purpose and that you are not going to return to us. You die. You are gone to Allah. No return. This is why the oppressor. The one who has wronged himself. The one who is doomed. What will he say as soon as he sees ملك الموت. Once his death comes. He says He says oh my god. Let me go back. It's like someone closing his eyes and saying give me the 50 grand. Exactly the same. Or should I say even a higher example. Where you are now in the eternal life. The real life. No more death. It came once. It's over. Now you are alive. Whatever happened in the dunya was a deception. This is why Allah says Indeed the life in this world is just an amusement in the past time. The real eternal life is that of the last. And this is why anything I said it this afternoon and I'm repeating it. Anything me or you find worth working towards in terms of the material life of this dunya. It can never be from anywhere but the same earth. What do you like in this world. Think about it in your mind. You like a car. You like a watch. You like a phone. You like a woman. For example or a man. For example. If you're a woman. Perhaps you might like an aircraft. A house. What else Everything you think of has come from the earth. Including us. We are from the soil. The catar. Soil. The leather in your Bugatti. Soil. What else. The tin outside mind underneath. We have never benefited from anything outside our atmosphere. Not yet. We don't even know what it's all about. So Allah says and you getting excited. You getting excited now. You don't even know what's waiting for you. We just describing this. But ليس الخبر كالمعايا. News is not equivalent to seeing. We've heard about it. But we want to see. We want to get there. Subhanallah. And it depending on how much يقين you have. That is how much you will be preparing for paradise. Look at the صحابة رضي الله عنهم. They had يقين. They lived. They believed. They looked at. They saw. They understood. The حديث. رضي الله عنهم. رضي الله عنهم. And the others. They say. Oh messenger. When you speak to us. It's as though. That's how powerful يقين was. May Allah grant us even a fraction of that. And the beauty that makes me cry. And it should make our head stand. They were told. You are from. You are from. You are from. So many were given the glad tidings. We know of the. The 10 who were given the news one shot. That you are from. With names. What happened? Imagine if someone had to tell you. Think about it for one minute. You are a. It's over. It's already written. Decreed this time. Done. What would happen to me and you? When they gave their lives after that. Do you know that? They were after they were told. You are from paradise. Subhanallah. Look at this. We would sit back and relax and say. You know what. In fact. Let me not even go there. May Allah protect us. I wonder. This is what makes us. Imagine أبو بكر السديخ رضي الله عنه. Take a look. Imagine. He was being looked and lashed. You know what he was told. Yeah. I have heard your footsteps in paradise. He went up to paradise in. He was shown because it exists right now. And he was shown heaven. And he told I saw. I heard your footsteps in paradise. Did that make him arrogant in any way? He became even more humble. Subhanallah. He was the مؤذم. Calling out for amazing. Look. الله أكبر. So in. Allah says فيها ما تشتهي الأنفس وتلذوا الأعيون in it. There is or you will have whatever you desire belong to you. Whatever your soul desires it's yours. And whatever your eyes find delicious belongs to you. You see you want it's yours. Don't worry. It is yours. It's yours. You desire it's yours. وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ And you will dwell therein forever and ever. No sickness. No aging. We will all be at the age of 33. Superb age. You don't get old. You don't become a child. No sickness. No worry. As I said no excretion. Only goodness. Do you know what else? You will never be hungry or thirsty. But when you eat and drink it will continue going in in a manner that you are enjoying it beyond our imagination. Today if you are full to the brim. They can show you a cheese cake which looks so beautiful. You look away. I hope you look away. But believe me brim gels that are cooked at home when you are hungry are far more valuable than a cheese cake presented to you when you are totally full. Wow. Look at the smile. You wonder where I got that example from. But it's a fact. In this case you are not described as hungry nor you described as full. You are in some amazing form or condition where you can eat. You can have. It doesn't fill you. But you enjoy because Allah says here we've made it for your amusement and enjoyment and not fake. It's a reality. Amazing. So what will be the temperature in paradise? Neither hot nor cold. You don't have to sweat and you don't have to worry. And if there is perspiration it is for a few purposes. One of them according to some narrations that the digestion of the food would actually be in the form of a scent that will come off. Be let off beautiful scent. Imagine. With us you perspire a bit. You need to go and think of what type of underarm you are going to buy. Allah protect us. There nothing of that nature. Your hair will be as you like it. Your complexion as you want. Your eyes as you wish. And the onlooker, your spouse will see you as they wish. Amazing. It's mind boggling. Something you can't describe. It's like me telling you here's an orange and you say no it's a banana. But this is an orange. You say no it's a banana. I don't know what you are seeing but this is what I am seeing. Something of that nature. Perhaps far more mind boggling. May Allah grant us. So Allah says you will be dwelling therein forever so much so that it is reported that when a man is with the whole he will be with her for 70,000 years. 70,000 years before he even realizes that he is with her. Subhanallah. It's mind boggling. You don't even understand what was just said now. I mean today you know you look at someone for a few seconds and you know that I am here. But you 70,000 years when the hadith speaks of the trees of paradise it speaks of a tree that has shade that a person would be traveling a rider would be traveling for 100 years and would still be in the shade of the tree. 100 years in the shade of the tree. Do you know why? Let's think for a moment. Because firstly it's huge. Yes we do know that. It's beautiful. We know that. You will be admiring it. We know that. But there is no time. That's why. Because there is no limit. So what if I am there for 70,000 years because how much is remaining the answer is that's not an applicable question. It's not applicable. Because it's mind boggling. This is why when people say it's 40 years from here to there it's so mind boggling because for us you're going to age by that time. And from here to there. No! Who said you need to walk from here to there? You can think about being on the other side and you there. Amazing. Think of something it's yours. So now there is a narration which says whoever has drunk alcohol in this world will not have it in the akhirah. Pure narration. So someone might say but moments ago you said whatever you think of. So the scholars have spoken. They say there is no contradiction there. So what your opinion is it won't even come to your mind and you won't even realize you're missing it. Amazing. Something amazing. You know the Quran describes the rivers of Jannah and the Quran says Only 4 of these rivers have been described. One with the water. Another narration says Water that is constantly flowing. Pure. Palatable. That which is beautiful to taste the water. As you are thinking of it it comes up and it's there. How did it come between here and there so many different ways. But it's mind control. Remember that. The perfect mind. Secondly Milk that doesn't go bad Beautiful milk. Imagine the type of milk. Not the milk that you get here from cows. No. Some milk that is described the same name but something else. Beautiful. It doesn't get stale. It doesn't turn into the sour milk as we would call it and it doesn't turn into the yogurts and what have you. Something is coming to my mind. What if you want sour milk? Question. What if you want the yogurt? Well to be honest if you think of it at that time you'll have it. You know someone asked me a question. Will we have tea in Jannah? This was in the UK for your information. So I said look there are many answers. He says some say no and some say yes. So what do you have to say? I said you just fishing. You just going shopping to look. Firstly work for it. Once you get to paradise you'll know the answer. Then he says no come on be reasonable. I said okay let's be reasonable. If you go and when you are there you still think of it. If your mind wants you to think of it. Allah will provide but I don't think your mind is going to think of the tea here. Like my son he was telling me I want to buy a Bugatti. Bugatti is one of those fast cars. I said we can't afford that car. He says okay so in Jannah we'll get it. I said son that will be the worst thing in Jannah. So don't even ask for that. It's the worst thing in paradise because it's the dunya it's not fit to enter paradise not at all. Whatever you know it will not be there. In the sense that in the same form. No. Perhaps the name and something much more elegant. Much more elite much more extravagant so to speak and there the term extravagance will not exist because everything is yours. Here we were not allowed to wear gold and silver meaning gold. Sorry for men. Gold and Harir Harir is Zirk. Allah says there that will be your clothing. Gold you can have it and like we said like butter because someone thinks how can I have a gold jacket imagine gold jacket I'll have to be like you know strong person who walks with this thing here. It's going to be so heavy. No. It's a different type of a thing. It's something far more perfect than the gold we know here. Something amazing. So Allah says if you stayed away from things here we granted to you there. This is why my brothers and sisters the dirty smelly sins we engage in are not worth it. You are wearing jewelry as a man remove it. We want to wear it in the after. You have made mistakes engage in Taoba. Allah will provide. Subhan Allah. It's not worth it. Life is too short. You know I have sat and spoken to older people and asked them can you tell us about your life. Do you know what they say? They say it's gone past like a week 2 weeks. I remember even the young days when I was at school now I'm sitting on my death bed. That's what they will tell me. So they will also say sometimes I'm scared and I'm what's going to happen to me now. Well that is information for the young when you are young listen to those who are telling you I'm worried and then think to yourself do I want to be a person who does not learn by example but who wants to learn through their own errors and mistakes might be too late. And as for the elderly or those who have already engaged in something don't lose hope. A person who repents properly from a sin is equivalent to one who has not committed a sin at all. Amazing. So this is why we have the description of such a beautiful place where Allah سبحانه وتعالى speaks about the colors the colors of paradise. What are the colors? There will be millions of colors so much so that that you've never ever seen is colors. Today we've only seen the spectrum they'll tell you you know the spectrum has X amount of colors in it and when you combine a few you get this we're going to see colors that we've never seen we're going to hear sounds we've never heard it is reported that the trees of jannah will have leaves that are so thin and so perfect and they are of gold and silver the bark of the tree will be made of gold some of silver some of ivory and so on and you'll have different things of different types of jewelry and so on. This is described to us because this is what we consider as valuable but it will be much better than that so when the wind will blow it will create a sound that will be so soothing more soothing than any sound that we've heard in the dunya Amazing. May Allah protect our ears from the dirty music of this world. Are you ready to give it up? If the answer is yes Allah will give you something else in its place that you will never regret It's not difficult to throw your bad habit tonight There you are. Kick it out and in return what do you get Do you know the description of one of the last people who will enter jannah Why I really love these narrations. There are several narrations but all in the same direction. Why I love these narrations. I always tell myself it will either be me or I will be better than that common sense isn't it because we are either the worst person who is existing but inshallah we have the shahada on our tongue so there's hope or we are better than the worst the worst will be someone else. Say we are the worst this is what happens. Say it's me say it's you. May Allah save God may he make us better than that so after he serves his sentence he comes out and one narration says that the worst person was already roasted in jannah and so on when they come out after serving their sentence their skin needs to be renewed they are dipped into some pond and suddenly they have this rejuvenated complete body and so on so it is reported that and I am bringing together a few narrations this man he will be so happy that he is released from jannah and he will stay there for a while and he will have gained his body and so on and he is out, finished not yet in jannah he is not yet there so now he will see or he will say subhanahu wata'ala get me closer to jannah because he can get the scent and there are certain things happening and he is granted no he is asked by Allah subhanahu wata'ala if I give you your wish would you want anything else I won't want anything else Allah says you are granted your wish so he is given that and he is drawn closer and there is one narration which makes mention of a tree he sees a tree and he says you know what just put me under the shade of that tree and he is given that and he says I will never ask for anything after that why later he asks no take me outside by the door or take me closer to jannah and he is taken closer I will never want anything after that and Allah says but didn't you promise and the main point being raised here is the rahma of Allah the mercy of Allah is what will drive me and you to paradise our deeds can do nothing our deeds can only call on the mercy of Allah when you are trying hard you calling on the mercy of Allah you got up for salah you calling on the mercy of Allah but let's be honest a lot of us we reading salah and we standing and our concentration is not there let's be honest so has that salah you may have fulfilled your farah but it's the mercy of Allah that will accept it right or wrong the other day I was in a masjid my brothers I have to make mention of this I was in a masjid let's not name the masjid and I was standing as an Imam right behind me there was someone whose phone started ringing and he had the squeaky sound of one of the Bollywood Hindi actresses who were singing a love song and I could understand in the house of Allah and this brother he probably thought if I am going to switch off my phone my salah is going to break so he didn't switch it off I had half a mind of breaking the salah and telling him what you doing but the احترام of a mu'min you know to respect a mu'min I said you know what he might have another deed that might be better than mine I am going to embarrass the man the mere fact that it rang it rang when that happens who can concentrate one is we can't concentrate but the other when your phone rings you might be penalized for taking away concentration from people who can concentrate if you weren't there that's the point you need to consider there are some people who concentrate 85-90% but you forced them to take away the concentration why you brought in some Bollywood squeaky voice you know us Allah protect us I don't even know what people find beautiful in that this is why consider this your concentration is one thing why you forcing other people to lose their concentration they are plugged in with رب العالمين they are plugged in with Allah and what are you doing you are busy distracting them say no no no listen to this song of mine this is why I say and I challenge you tonight everyone I challenge you and I challenge you the biggest challenge change your ringtone to a simple ring that even if it rings in a place where you will be embarrassed at least what rang will not be as embarrassing I hope you understand what we are saying you have a simple ringtone and it rang in Salah yes people might be irritated but when you have a dirty song and music that's blasting in the house of Allah we are worried about the connotations we are worried about what is to come what else is going to be surrounding the punishment of what just happened and when we make Toba we say ya Allah forgive me my phone rang in the Masjid we didn't even think ya Allah forgive me for taking the concentration away from 20 Musallis today that didn't even come to our minds this is why I challenge you my brothers and sisters that ringtone of yours make it respectful for the sake of Allah you want your paradise? there it is who knows Allah looks at one little deed and when he loves that small deed of yours perhaps he can grant you paradise I don't want to see anything else I saw how tough it was for you to don that hijab and niqab in the midst of the people who were looking at you as whatever and they call you so many names but you were patient because of me I don't want to look at anything else that one deed is enough it can happen one deed this is why when you are finding it tough to do one thing remember the Hadith says Jannah you will enter it by engaging in those things for the sake of Allah which require a great effort to engage in sacrifice through sacrifice you uncover the lid you enter you're not ready to sacrifice what's the big deal they are others enjoying they are similar to animals because they don't understand that there is a purpose you're created for it's not for nothing when Allah SWT speaks about something very interesting there will be nothing prohibited in paradise how do you like that nothing haram the term haram gone out it's finished because those rules and regulations you already followed them for 60 70 years now for eternity no more everything you want to do is yours you say you dictate the pace what is it the one youngster tells me so you mean all the women I see I said they'll all be yours don't worry relax because in this world you have one rose you can't have the whole garden leave the other roses for others insha'Allah if you're lucky you might have another one but to be honest with you in the akhirah whatever you're thinking of you come across yours imagine mind boggling isn't it now you can look at the ceiling tonight and start making your plans but a loser is the one who just wishes without working towards it Shaytan makes us say yes but what did you do did you get up for Salat al Fajr come on your little blanket made in China you can't even leave that for a moment Allah protect us and then we're saying I want paradise come on you can leave that come for Salah it's a few more years left do you know what this might be your last Salah you've ever read we might die just now or all of us anything can go wrong or it can go right and some of us sometimes we probably didn't even read it properly may Allah forgive us may He forgive our shortcomings nothing similar to paradise the light will be a glare and a glaze that will be so soothing and so fulfilling and at the same time the castles that are owned gold and silver and like I said that gold and silver so pure that it appears as glass if you'd like to see through it you will be able to when you look beneath the Quran says the rivers that are flowing we were speaking of a honey we mentioned water and milk look at how massive جنة is we haven't yet gone to the honey Subhan Allah I'm not talking of the honey I'm talking of the honey this honey so pure so soothing to look at the texture of which is determined by your mind the taste of which is determined by your mind again what you want you look at it and suddenly you feel like having it you feel it in your mouth and you know where you see it beneath you these gardens are flowing beneath so I'm looking down look at my castle you know the description of the walkway to the paradise is such or to your garden a person's garden جنة means a garden you will have I will have my جنة your جنة everyone's جنة in a big place known as جنة we will all have our positions and جنة has ranks it's reported it has 100 ranks you know the highest for the highest obviously and the lowest for the lowest but each one insha Allah will be fulfilled completely if I'm in جنة and I want anything and everything what if I want to be on a higher rank Allah can remove the cord of wanting to be on a higher rank from you so you won't even feel you missing out on anything like I spoke about alcohol moments ago it's just a cord that's removed so you don't even your mind doesn't even go in that direction out of the perfection of that particular mind so the walkway the pathway one brick of gold and one of silver one of gold one of silver amazing and as you go into your own castle even the floor all sorts of different types of jewelry of the highest form and you look down you want to see through you can see rivers of pure fruit juices you know the term wines used even in the bible the term wine is used it does not refer to an intoxicating drink it refers to fruit juice but sadly people have changed the wording over the time and therefore they say the wine in the bible when they say Jesus drank wine may peace be upon him he didn't but he didn't drink the wine we know of today but he drank pure fruit juice that's what he drank not the intoxicating wine but the term used is wines so in general the wines juices pure no intoxication in it as described in the Quran no intoxication and brethren will sit you want to meet someone you meet them you sitting next to each other and you know what you love one another you have no hatred you have no ill feeling all that are qualities of the dunya they are left behind here fight the bad qualities you will find it easier to enter paradise and this is why if someone were to ask you this is a question you need to ask yourself you know what we make to ask sometimes we are weak man and son ya Allah this enemy of mine destroy him and he's a brother who eats mucher with you every morning you know that it happens some people someone took you for a ride say 10,000 grand so you say ya Allah destroy him his family his children his offspring for 7 generations 10 grand big deal come on man 10,000 you destroyed 7 generations how do you make him Subhan Allah it's a time of acceptance say ya Allah grant him business he can make a million and give me 10,000 that's a better dua so if you try a good dua for your brothers who may have wronged you perhaps it will work for you you know why the angel say oh Allah give him similar to what he's asking so when you have an enemy of yours say ya Allah grant him jannah in the dunya you know we got our issues but ya Allah let him be my neighbour in paradise imagine if your neighbor have to say oh Allah grant him something similar he will be your neighbour in paradise maybe you went to jannah because you made a dua for him he got it through your dua you have to be there before him amazing think about this we should not be selfish and this is why if someone told you you get jannah on condition that your worst enemy will be your neighbour it's a cheap deal believe me it's worth it because there there's no hatred there's no enmity and so on and so forth and then Allah سبحانه و تعالى speaks about the fruit of jannah how it will be you know the seedless the piped fruit as we would call it tasting different looking similar so having similar names perhaps as some of the names we are used to but the taste is different the look is different the trees will be so big and huge when you are thinking of trying to get to this fruit it actually comes right to you like this it's right there if you want to pick it you can pick it if you don't want it picks out itself and comes to you سبحان الله and you may have servants who may pick it for you depending on what you want amazing the order is according to what you're thinking of and half way you're having a fruit and you're thinking of a different taste the same one will change its taste to whatever you're thinking of that is Allah that is jannah Allah says this is not difficult for us this is nothing we have created jannah for you oh man may Allah SWT grant us jannah then Allah SWT speaks about some of the drinks he named some of the drinks there is a spring known as تسنيم in jannah some say it's a type of a drink some say it's a spring of jannah the term زنجبيل is used some say it's a gingery drink and some say no it's just a drink of jannah but it's mentioned in the Quran so Allah SWT speaks of it or as well these are some of the words that are used in the Quran to describe what we are going to be getting in jannah the utensils will be such made of gold and silver utensils that give you that greatness because there سبحان الله like we said nothing is haram you can be happy you have every reason to be proud because you worked hard for 60 70 years sounds easy it's a lifetime in this dunya so a mu'min in paradise we already spoke about not the palace the tint and spoke about how the pearls hollow pearls stacked up one on top of the other going 60 miles up according to some narrations for you you can see through it if you want and if you don't want it covers you people will be glowing more than the glowing of the moon and even more than the shine of the sun but the sun will never be seen in jannah the sun does not qualify to go to paradise S-U-N not your sun the sun may Allah join us with our children you try and work hard on your children by the will of Allah if they follow you in that iman insha Allah he will join you unite you with them in jannah you work hard on your children memorize the Quran serve the deen Allah may grant them the power to intercede for 10 people from amongst the family who were supposed to go to jannah so work hard on your children and this is why the children who might be listening in to us when your parents are working hard on you it's not that they hate you they love you so much they want you to achieve ranks higher than theirs may Allah grant us all some rank so the sun we won't see but there will be lights the light will come from all sorts of angles because everything is shining the people are shining imagine we haven't yet got to the hole we thought about it I said when the first person yawns we'll start speaking about the hole الله أكبر so الله سبحانه وتعالى has prepared all this for us and this is why the hole of jannah you know mousa A.S. asked a question about the last person who will enter paradise and I was saying that he will be from this stage to that stage until he's at a stage where Allah tells him but you asked for that and you said that was the last thing he says ya Allah just let me get into paradise just let me get in through your mercy ya Allah I just want to get in even if it's right here you know just in and he will think to himself this man that you know jannah is already full because all the people of jannah they are the last man waiting but jannah will not be full Allah says would you like it if I were to give you everything you wished for whatever the dunya had completely all for you and everything you wished he said yes ya Allah I'll be happy what if I gave you double he says I'll be happy ya Allah which means he's already happy with the first one second one he says I'll be happy what if I give it to you 5 times he says I'll be happy ya Allah he says my worshipper enter jannah through my mercy and I will give you whatever you wish for multiplied by 10 for you only if that is the condition of the last one to go in what about those who are VIPs on a higher level this is why we say do not be extravagant in this dunya for indeed there will come a time when you'll have so much it will all be yours think of it it's just yours yours and yours and everybody else who's there will have whatever they want so there's no way that you can say I'm wasting or I need to be charitable they have it as well and they have better or they have whatever they wish for and this is why when the who is being made mention of it is reported in one narration that she herself the maiden herself will say I am from amongst those mentioned in the verse where Allah told you فلا تألم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرتي أعيون the person will not know the soul will not know what Allah has kept for them in terms of the coolness of their eyes that which will cool your eyes you see whatever you want there so the who is telling I'm part of that Allah promised you you're going to see something this is it it's come to you in the form of so many things I'm one of it so Allah سبحانه وتعالى blessed us in so many ways this person it's reported when he enters he will see a light such a big light and he's going to think this is Allah just for a split moment because he's never seen such a light and he will be told immediately I am a gatekeeper from amongst the gatekeepers of جنة I am at your service that was just an angel and then he's directed towards his garden remember it's either me or I will have better than that it's either one of us or we'll have better than that سبحانه وتعالى this is why it's good to mention this he's seen a door bigger than the first door he saw and he'll be told this is the entrance of your own garden and it will fling open it will have been open waiting for him like a VIP and as he's going in he sees a bigger light than the first one and he thinks for a split moment if that wasn't Allah perhaps and immediately a voice is heard I am the gatekeeper of your door at your service anything you would like me to do imagine angels gatekeeper الله أكبر من الله سبحانه وتعالى bless us with the acceptance on that particular day so thereafter you look ever your eye sees all of it is yours whatever you see is yours anything comes in front of you yours سبحان الله one might say what if I want to meet people well they'll come and meet you amazing when they will leave now let's get to the main part we've been waiting for all evening the whole of Jannah are described as the most beautiful of the creation of Allah been created as a special treat for those who have gone into Jannah and it is something worth noting that the condition of the heart and the mind at that time will be absolutely perfect there is no jealousy today's women jealous you want to talk about polygamy just talk about it you see what happens speak about it just open your mouth or associate with someone who is polygamous check what happens at all don't like your friends I don't like your friends already threatened imagine why? because the mind and the heart is not that perfect one it's a human mind it has jealousy in it it has inequalities that will not be there in Jannah so for women to think now that how can you have so many whore it's because they are thinking with the mind that is not going to be the mind there so someone was telling me or asking me what if I want my husband all for myself do you know what I said now you can guess I said if you get to paradise and if that thought crosses you Allah has promised you you get what you want so then you can talk to Allah not to me because why must we start debating when the mind that you have right now will never understand what Allah has prepared don't debate get there and if you're still thinking of it just go with the verse of the Quran if you still think of it you can ask Allah but like I said I don't think it's even going to cross your mind because Jannah too many things too much and Allah has spoiled everyone just listen to this description so Allah has described so many things the fact and here we are going to be speaking because I'll try and word it as respectfully as possible but it's described in the Quran and it's Allah's description and it is something that makes us look forward to it the description of the intimacy with these rules described and the size of the rule described the chest described as perfect the shape as you wish Subhan Allah so much so that the description goes right through to what we would probably term elasticity may Allah protect us may Allah Subhanahu و تعالى grant us goodness may He beautify our women for us and on top of that they are virgins all the time amazing description the cheeks are described as rosy like a rose but similar to an apple how do you put the two together wait get there have a peep when you say one day Binoni we spoke about this do you remember الله أكبر الله أكبر may Allah accept our Salah and our Toba and Allah Subhanahu و تعالى speaks of the eyes the nose the perfect shape completely perfect the texture of the skin the curves the legs such that you you can see through it because of its beauty because of its clarity because of how clear it is you can actually see right to the bone you can see the ivory and that bone also not made of the bone we have here it is also something else which is so amazing to look at it will probably take you a few years because one description says a man will look at his bull for 500 years just looking and she'll say hey you're going to stop they don't we have a right also Subhanallah 500 years one young boy told me me not even 5 minutes you'll see what happened Allah protect us Allah grant us جنة really young boys you thinking about that الله أكبر work hard to get there then we'll talk work hard to get there we'll talk may Allah Subhanahu و تعالى unite us in paradise just like he has united us in this house of his الله أكبر this is why we need to learn to love one another for the sake of Allah set aside our little differences our hearts must be in love with each other the reason is there is a special place pulpits of noor which will be placed and positioned and Allah Subhanahu و تعالى will have a call a call out where are those who loved each other for my sake let them come upon these pulpits they will be granted a special rank may Allah Subhanahu و تعالى make us from amongst them today a little issue small item like I say this man did this that man did that and we hate each other's guts that is where the heart becomes very very controlled by the devil may Allah protect us we need to get rid of that open your heart one man the Rasool Allah ﷺ described him as a person who was jinnati meaning he was already going to be in paradise they went around to search his deeds one narration says one other Sahaba actually spent some time with him and he saw nothing extraordinary this man went to sleep this man didn't really get up even for the actual he got up and Salatul Fajr he was there but no extra deeds so they finally ended up asking him what's the deed this is what we heard and he thought and he says you know what no extra special deeds but every night when I recline look into my heart remove all infeeling against any other fellow believer take it out force it out take it out find whatever excuse you want that is a quality of paradise may Allah Subhanahu و تعالى قرانت it to us so getting back the hair is described my sisters you cover your hair properly according to the teachings of Allah Allah gives you that hair in the akhirah such that you will hear about it in a few moments this we still talking about the who we talking about the maidens special maidens created Subhan Allah for purposes of fulfilling the desires of those in paradise anything comes to your mind Subhan Allah the hair described the neck described something more like you know porcelain something more like if you looked at it you'd probably think that and I'm thinking now with our brain obviously we there is something else but you know you feel if you touch it you might leave a spot there you know Subhan Allah kiss the cheek you probably leave a red mark for the rest of the day you know sometimes things like this cross your mind it will be yours don't worry soon insha Allah Allah make it easy for us you look at the hair today people get excited because Allah has given them nice hair so what they do they use that panting or head and shoulders and after that they say the scarf is slipping man it's slipping too much man you know it's slipping so what happens it slips and after that it's gone into the handbag and where we in the market in the mall and the hair is flashing for everybody that's not what we are supposed to be doing we want to earn paradise may Allah grant it to us and this is why it is reported that those who lower their gaze listen to this those who lower their gaze my brothers after you hear this you look at it differently those who lower their gaze bearing Allah in mind will be called out on that day to choose from whichever hood they want choose why? you look down just for the sake of Allah and you know what looking down does for you it gives you contentment in your home your wife is the most beautiful I didn't look around trying to compare and compete that shape is better than my Mrs but these statements come into the mind when your eyes wonder everywhere no look down may Allah make us from amongst those who appreciate one another man will never be satisfied in this dunya satisfaction comes in paradise nowhere else like we always say paradise would lose its value if we were to have everything we wanted here why would then Allah create paradise what would be the purpose man says I got everything here everything man one day you're going to get sick then you're going to say there's one tablet I don't have and that is the tablet that can keep me alive and young you see so this is why finally even if you think you've had everything Allah says there's something you realize at one stage you don't have you don't have anywhere to run away besides back to us لا ملجأ ولا ملجأ منك إلا إليك أو الله لا ملجأ لا ملجأ ملجأ منك منك إلا إليك منك إلا إليك منك إلا إليك من الله this way that way everywhere he's there catches you الله أكبر those who want children perhaps in the Akhira it is reported that the gestation period will be shortened to just a few moments child will be born few moments these are some of the narrations that describe how pure it will be the women of Jannah no haib no pains no nifas like we said no excretion of any sort nothing all that Allah has purified us from you get to paradise and you see that amazing the voice of the whole will be such that you hear it and you don't want it to stop Subhan Allah I see the uncles are looking at me like hey here in the dunya let me not finish the sentence الله أكبر you hear it and you don't want it to stop beautiful Subhan Allah how many will you have good question that number Allah alone knows he may give you 1 to 20 to 70 to more whatever he wants and at the same time you will want just that whatever you want you get and like I said how long do you spend with one well we said a few moments ago time is irrelevant because no one can tell you you weren't here early it's still very early الله أكبر imagine today you came late but it's very early the word late doesn't exist because time is not there then we carry on that who will never ever want anyone besides you finished the who قاسرات الطرف we heard the verse will not gaze at anyone besides you yours that's it no gaze automatically yours for you wanting you to please you at your disposal discretion back and call say what you want yours belonging to you Subhan Allah no looking this way that way no nothing and you you can look everywhere because everything is yours الله أكبر no lowering of gaze for you in the Akhira no that is all yours amazing how it's described then every time you see the who you will want to look at her constantly because as you're looking she's becoming more and more beautiful more and more beautiful forget about the aging aspect which is nonexistent but this is something amazing as time is passing you are becoming a more good looking person and so is the who this is some description that is amazing and this is why may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless us even in this world when we dress we dress for our spouses we should not be dressing for that one and this one because in the Akhira we would like to achieve what we've just heard about then what will happen now the sisters need to listen very carefully as this man is busy you know the smile is described flash of lightning meaning soothing lightning not lightning that is scary from the dunya but like a flash that's a smile flash can be seen right on the other side the scent we already spoke about سبحان الله amazing there's still a lot that perhaps we've left out but as this man is with this rule of his he'll notice a light far brighter and he'll look up and he'll see another who amazing and he sees that who far more beautiful than the one he's with far more beautiful and he sees qualities you know physical features the beauty the look the voice the scent whatever he sees far better the hair the eyes you say what you want the shape everything completely amazing we've already just seen the most amazing and as we thought it cannot get any better here comes something far better so who are you I am the person who was your wife in the dunya الله أكبر she could have had her stretch marks in the dunya she could have tipped the scale such that she broke every scale in the house she could have been having hair which perhaps was like this or like that and sometimes a little bit bald may Allah protect our women these are the trials and tribulations our women go through because of us mostly sometimes we stress them we depress them we impregnate them they give birth because we did that and after that we don't want to look at them because we said you know what I look at someone with a different shape الله says you work hard you bear suffering you understand your loyalty and faithfulness you understand my plan for a few years that very woman that you're looking at will be more beautiful than any of those whores that are there and you will see that you will recognize it and we will honor her so she will say the reason why I am more beautiful than these whores because I read my salah because I fasted for Allah because I protected myself for the sake of Allah because I was charitable for the sake of Allah and because I worshiped Allah alone oh my sisters are you ready الله أكبر الله أكبر now who's going to be jealous of who where's the jealousy gone who's the best it's always your wife in the dunya you might be lying you say yeah yeah don't worry my wife yeah do you love me the most you say yes the most most test you come up with an extra EST at the end most test that means I'm lying to you Allah protect us Allah save goddess there you won't be lying I hope she doesn't remind you to say remember in the dunya you were telling me this and that Allah protect us I hope that doesn't happen الله أكبر so this is how Allah will honor our women then there comes other who who will be higher than the who of Jannah who were made for man and amongst the ranks of the wives of the human beings there will be certain women listen to this who will be granted amazing beauty with amazing qualities that which will really capture that which will really get the eyes and hearts and minds of the people of paradise and she will tell you when she is asked who what about you I am the one who protected myself I lived in the dunya I worshipped Allah I bore patience I stayed away from prohibitions I engaged in Taoba I gave my charities I worshipped Allah alone and I was never married in the dunya and I have chosen to be with you or you would have chosen to be with her amazing amazing where is the jealousy you know women might be saying you know we have sisters listening perhaps right now also they might be saying no no no that I can't take you know why you can't take it because right now the mind you thinking with is not in jannah yet let it get to jannah you will have that perfect mind no hill no hatred in the heart nothing subhanallah and you will love whatever you see because you will be how you want amazing and you will have that attraction such that he will definitely be more attracted this direction may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us goodness the difficulty is and I have to mention this it's a red button what if one of the two spouse don't make it to jannah isn't that a sad question look at how it's knocked us out of what we were thinking what if one of the two spouses do not make it to jannah this is why I say we believe we are not atheists we are not people who who are not believers we believe in Allah and His Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم we have hope and we are working hard work as hard as you can my brothers and sisters we need to be there we need to be there together it's a gift of Allah so let's work as hard as hard as we can and engage in lots and lots of istil far I will mention just a few more points here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has spoken about the verses that will be read the verses that will be reminded or the whole will remember or remind us of the verses what's the verse one الحمد لله الذي صدقنا وعده all praise is due to Allah who has been truthful in the fulfillment of His promise that verse is reported that it will be seen on either the hand or the arm of the Hur in light which means you just perceive the verse it will be a reminder to say wow definitely all praise is due to Allah who fulfilled His promise to us look at what we've been promised this is only a part of Paradise and then another verse we thank Allah all praise is due to Allah who has removed from our path that which is difficult there's no more difficulty there's no difficulty in Paradise you know in the dunya to sin you have to duck and dive that's how Allah's plan is but to engage in something Halal there's no ducking and diving there there's no sin there's no ducking and diving may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us Paradise and the last thing I'd like to mention here although there is a lot more to be mentioned but I need to also consider the time and perhaps the listeners as well as those who are seated here the last thing I'd like to mention is the Bakhour the term Bakhour is used you know as we entered here could you smell the scent of the beautiful Bakhour perhaps it smelled like something from Rassasi maybe Majlis or Abu Ali or something of that nature these are names that are really some good Bakhours that you might get in Makkah or Medina and I told the Imam I said you know what this smells like Jannah and I thought to myself we're going to be speaking about it tonight it's part of the notes that I had prepared this Bakhour will be without fire but the scent will come about as a smoke fireless how I don't know its scent will reach wherever you'd like it to reach it's yours where would you like it to reach throughout the entire Jannah of yours it's reached its scent will continue changing according to how you want it to smell I think from tonight we've understood that we need to get there we really need to work towards it now one thing that we need to know when we read our Salah different people look at it differently I want to highlight one little point and this is a closing point in conclusion today in the world when you want to buy a house and you can't afford it I mean someone is describing to you a huge building with so many unsweet rooms you know and this and that and you say yes yes yes well why don't you buy it and you're thinking you know what I've got 30 hands in my pocket look at this guy talking to me so if he says I can arrange for you some Halal credit perhaps you can rent out something and make it back and so on Sharia compliant proper no there are two types of Sharia compliant that which is just by name and that which is really Sharia compliant so you need to make sure so this this is no proper you pay me monthly so what happens you have hope now you have the house you make a payment what happens say for example in this dunya if you haven't paid for one month you penalized you haven't paid for another month you penalized again in whatever way and at some stage they might take that house and sell it you lost it can I tell you I have a house I'd like to build in the Akhira many ways of doing it one hadith says whoever for the sake of Allah builds a house not for name and fame or disunity or whatever for the sake of Allah builds a Masjid Allah will build for him a house in Jannah now today sometimes I might not be able to afford the whole house so I've given one brick two bricks 100 grand 5000 grand whatever I could do you think Allah is going to give you one brick and say alright you know what you built you used the brick yes your brick now carry on and Allah will dictate إن شاء الله that you'll all have a house because you contributed towards building one of Allah's but every time you read salah it's a payment towards your house you miss one payment watch out something's going to happen there you miss two, three payments watch out you miss three Jumu'ahs you better be careful that the whole house might go you see what we're saying now so when you have to get up for Fajr we sometimes would pay a debt to a bank that we own which we might have got through haram interest loans we are more keen on paying that back than paying something in order to earn a house of Jannah which is everlasting and that payment is far easier it's only telling you get up for Fajr read your salah fulfill your zakah fast in Ramadan you do your Hajj properly and you abstain from prohibitions there you are you pay for your paradise is it too expensive well for those who have the high himmah for those who are really concerned and they are really keen on getting it it's very cheap they will not feel it difficult because they are focused and for those who are not really focused they are keen is weak it becomes very very burdensome may Allah SWT grant us Jannah may He make us work good deeds whether it is to protect ourselves from Jannah or to make ourselves enter Jannah or solely for the love of Allah may Allah SWT grant it to us because we will fall into several categories some people will work so that they can be safe from Jannah some people will work so that they can earn paradise some people will work solely for the pleasure of Allah SWT may we be from any one of those categories and until we meet again we ask Allah SWT to grant us a meeting in Jannah my brothers and sisters may Allah unite us may Allah SWT bring us together let's have a concern for one another let's have a love with one another and insha'Allah we will meet if not in this dunya insha'Allah on that howl الكوثر with Muhammad SAW may Allah grant us a drink from that and may He take us into paradise without reckoning may He not disgrace us on that day we have done deeds that we are not proud about my brothers and sisters may Allah forgive us may He grant us Jannah وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله وسلم و بارك على نبينا محمد سبحان الله
