 الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد أردت أن أستطيع أن أستطيع أن أردت لأنني جميعاً أحسن my voice لذا أعتقد أنني أتكلم بشأن أخبركم أني لم أستطيع أن أتكلم لكن أعتقد أنه مهم جداً أن هذه السهل يجب أن نتوقف واشدوا أن نتوقف واشدوا أن الله سبحانه و تعالى أنه يجبني أعلم أحيانة عالمية واشدوا أن نتوقف واشدوا أن نتوقف سأتكلم عن أسلوب الأخرى اليوم سنتكلم عن الموت الموت الموت is the door of the Barzakh الموت is the transition moment from this world to the hereafter it's when your body loses its soul and you are no longer able to move, speak, respond every limb on your body is still in place your eyes are still there your ears are there your fingers, your nose, your mouth but you can't move death is not the ultimate goal in other words death is that transition where you just move from this دار الدنيا to دار البرزخ but there is something after death ولذلك عمر ابن عبد العزيزة رحمه الله he said إنما خلقتم للأبدي you guys were created for eternity ولكنكم but تنقلون من دار إلى دار you will be taken from one دار which is دار الدنيا to then دار البرزخ so even if you do die it's because you are being you are being taken from from the دار الدنيا to the دار البرزخ and that this is not the final ending now there is something after that and that moment after it which is دار الآخرة is going to be forever أب العلاق المعرّي رحمه الله he said in his line of poetry خلق الناس للبقائي that the people were created to remain forever فضلت أم ماتون a group of people became misguided from this يحسبونهم للنفادي when they saw death they thought ok that's it we are going to perish we are going to go and we are never going to come back again and that's it so they became misguided but what we were created for was what to carry on إنما ينقلون من دار أعمال you are being taken from the دار الدنيا which is a place you are going to come with actions إلى دار شقوة أو رشادي or you are going to be taken to the hereafter where you are either going to be from the the habitants of Jannah or those who reside in Hellfire so that's the حقيقة to the moat the moat is nothing except إنتقال من دار إلى دار moving from one دار to another daar that's the reality of it and so people don't like death it's something that they dislike as the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he told us في حديث القدسي that Allah سبحانه و تعالى said يكره الموتى my slave he hates death و أنا أكره مساءته and I Allah hate to disappoint him my slave he hates death بزاك الله خيرا my slave he hates death and I Allah سبحانه و تعالى I hate to disappoint him I hate to hurt him طبراني لريتن another روايا من حديث ألس بن ماليكل that Allah سبحانه و تعالى he said و لا بود له but he has to go through this pain of death I hate it for him but the Qadr is written that he has to go through death he can't be taken away from it Allah سبحانه و تعالى clearly tells us there that we hate death but the question is why that we hate death and why is it that we're not pleased with dying the reason is because this Dar we've worked in we worked hard for this world and we're living in today we put money in we educated ourselves we got a degree we got married we have children so we've worked very hard for this dunya but we haven't worked hard for it hereafter إنكم عمرتم دنياكم you guys have fully worked hard in your dunya و خربتم آخرتكم and you destroyed your hereafter so you don't want to move from a place where you've put hard work in you've put everything you had your money, your time, your effort and you don't want to go to a place where you've got nothing waiting for you you've not worked towards it and one of the reasons why we also don't like death is because death is what changes our appearance the way we look this phase that we have that when we wake up in the morning we wash our face we put cream on we cut our hair we make sure we look sharp we shower ourselves we make sure we look beautiful handsome but what death does to you is it takes that away from you you no longer look like that your beauty goes your body parts get eaten by the earth الامام حافظ عبد الحق الاشبيد رحمه الله هذا كتاب called العقبة في أحوال الآخرة a powerful book where he speaks about the outcome of the affairs of the hereafter he mentions a very powerful incident where عليبنا بطالب اوتي بإناء مائن a cup of water was brought to him ليشرب منه so he can drink from it فأخذ ونظر إليه علي looked at the cup that was given to him and he looked it from the sides and he observed the cup and then he said to the cup الله أعلم الله knows best علي said this تنفيكة how much is in you من عين كحيل وخد أسيل an eye of a person who plays kuhl on their eyes and a cheek that was looked after and it was creamed are you made of oak up when we die this earth swallows us as الله says in the Quran قد علمنا ما تنقص الأرض الله says we know that which is earth swallows this earth when we get buried and we get put in our graves the earth will swallow us and when it swallows us it's this earth then that people will make houses from it and they will make utensils cups spoons and the spoon and the cup is a person's body that perished that went so علي is saying to this cup you're made of a person's eye and a person's cheek that they used to work on and make sure they look beautiful and protect their body parts so when we think of that we start to hate death that's what death does to you it's the حقائق and the reality of it يزيد من أبان الرقاشي who is a student of anisid numalik he said يا معشرة الناس oh people ألا تبقون why don't you guys cry وتنوحون على أنفسكم and you weep and wail over yourselves why don't you cry over yourselves باقي حياتكم as long as you live باقي حياتكم because you are a person من الموت معدو who is the one death is his final about I mean oh he's going to death has been promised for him who is it from everyone of us والقبر بيتو and the grave is his house والثرا فراشو and the earth is his his bed that he's going to lie on والدودو وانيسو and the insects are going to be his companions and his friends وهو مع هذا with all of that يا انتجل الفزع الأكبر he's going to wait for the final fear for the moment which is hereafter تملايا عرفوا and then you don't know where you're going to be إلى الجنة أو إلى الناس or to the hellfire why shouldn't you cry if that's going to be your case that death has been is your promise your promise death and you're also promised that the grave is going to be your what your house today no one would ever put you on the floor you don't want your face to touch the floor you see you dust going on you you don't want it but that's where you're going to finally be you're going to lie down in that dust the earth is going to swallow you your family are going to leave you there now you're sleeping on a nice mattress you handpicked the mattress that day there is no mattress it's the earth now you're living in a nice apartment you make sure the lights are good masha'a Allah the house is glassed and whatnot that day is your grave now you make sure you hang around with rich people people got money people who you know that day the insects are your friends they're the ones that are around you all they're waiting for is to just nibble through your body and eat it and all of that is just a transition moment for a bigger time which is the hereafter that awaits you and you're unaware you don't know whether you're going to go to heaven or hell you're unaware of it then why shouldn't you not cry وَلِذَا لِكَهِ then used to turn to himself يَزِيدَ الْرَقَاشِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهَا and he would say to himself وَيَحَكَيَا يَزِيدَ Destruction be on you or Yazid مَنْ دَلْلَّذِ يُصَلْدِ عَنْكَ Who is going to pray on your behalf look what he misses he's asking himself once you die who's going to pray for you no one you're dead now you're not going to pray anymore مَنْ دَلْلَّذِ يَصُومُ عَنْكَ who's going to fasten your behalf you're going to lose that opportunity مَنْ دَلْلَّذِ يُرْضِ عَنْكَ who's going to ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to be pleased with you بعد الموت after death comes to you we might today not like death because we haven't prepared for the hereafter but the pious predecessors when they cried because of death it was because they knew they were going to miss things that they used to do the righteous deeds some of them would be said to them why are you crying for you're a righteous man you've done good you've worked hard and they used to say I'm crying because of the thirst I used to endure when I was in this world fasting for the sake of Allah the heat hitting my head and my mouth becoming dry I'm going to miss that and I'm also going to miss the night prayer where I would get out of my mattress leave it walk away from it and I would pray and one of them he said he used to place a stick next to himself and whenever his legs would lose its ability it's unable to move and he finished his prayer he would take the stick and he would hit his legs and he would say to his legs stand up pray do you not want to compete with the companions of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم do you not want to be like do you not want to compete with Abu Bakr and Omar that's how they were ما يمون ابن مهران as Imam Dhabi mentioned he said he said لقد أدركت من كنت أستحي أن أتكلم عنده ما يمون ابن مهران لقد أعجبت شخص من الناس who used to be shy in speaking in front of them and ما يمون ابن مهران he was a writer for عمر ابن عبد العزيز he was a writer he used to write for عمر ابن عبد العزيز and عمر ابن عبد العزيز كان لا يقرب إلا الأفابل no one can get close to عمر ابن عبد العزيز unless he was righteous because he was a righteous man he only wanted righteous people around him so ما يمون ابن مهران he said لقد أدركت أعجبت a group of people who I was shy to speak in their presence وقد أدركت أعجبت ما لم يكن يتكلم إلا بحق or يسكوت who would not speak except the truth if they spoke and they opened their mouth they would say the truth they would speak words of good and if they were silent they were silent because it was good for them to be silent و أدركت أعجبت ما لم يكن يملأ عينيه a person I met a group of people who would not fill their eyes meaning they would not fully look at the sky من السماء they would not look at the sky خوفا من ربه fear of his Lord if they looked up they would cry so they would bring their eyes down quickly I met a people who were like that ابن سماك رحمه الله he said إن الموت those who are dead لم يبقوا they didn't cry because of what من الموت because of death those who died who are in their graves they did not cry because of the death that they went through but يبقون من خسرة الفوت they are crying because of the opportunities that came their way and they didn't benefit from it the chances that they got the righteous deeds they could have accumulated that missed them that came to their minds and they cried because of missing it والله يبقى الله he said دارون these people have moved to a place لم يتزودوا منها they've left the dunya which they haven't taken provision from ودخلوا and they entered دارا a different place لم يتزودوا لها which they have no provision for if you were travelling today to a country and you did not take with you the right provision for that journey when you opened your bag you found you had sticks and you had rocks you had food in it and you're in the middle of the desert you need water it's painful because you right now need water to drink you need food to eat but you don't have it in your bag the person who hasn't accumulated righteous deeds when he comes the day of judgement or he comes to his grave he has come to a place where he hasn't got what was needed he's going to cry now he's going to feel like he wants to go back and he wants to do righteous deeds محمد ابن سيرين used to say إذا ذكر عنده الموت it was said about محمد ابن سيرين if death was mentioned next to محمد ابن سيرين محمد ابن سيرين is a tabi'il if death was mentioned next to him مات كل عضوين everybody parts of his will die على حدتي individually his body parts will just become loose محمد ابن سيرين وقال إبراهيم التيمي إبراهيم التيمي said شياني two things قطع عني لذة الدنيا two things have taken away from me feeling the sweetness of this dunya because of these two things I don't taste when I eat I don't taste food when I sleep I can't sleep I don't enjoy sleeping ذكر الموت when I think of death وذكر الوقوف بين يدي الله عز وجل and when I think of the day I'm going to stand in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said those two things they take away from me let that dunya the sweetness of this dunya the reason is because standing in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the only place يوم توبل السرائر that the secrets that are deep in your heart the reality that no one else knew except Allah it will be brought out in the open there's no more secrets anymore everything out is in the open and death يا إخوة is the awalu menzil is the first stage from the stages of the hereafter سلمة الدينارين used to say إن خير خصلة the best characteristics أو أفضل خصلة or from one of the greatest characteristics is تكون في الإنسان for it to be in a person one of the best characteristics to have and the best attribute to have is أن يكون أشد الناس خوفا that you are the most fearful person على نفسه on yourself you fear for yourself وارجاه لكل مسلم and you have hope for every Muslim other than yourself it's the best characteristics to ever have that you think you have hope for everybody else but not for yourself you fear for yourself you know why? because you know yourself more than anybody else you know yourself more than anybody else knows you so you're scared you're worried and today we live in a time where the majority of us are given hope more than anything else we're told to live a very happy joyful life and if today if you come to a Muslim individual and you remind them and you say this is your problems this is your mistakes this is errors that you might have because we've been told we've been taught to just be positive we don't like that may Allah make us those who see their mistakes and fear Allah in it and hope the best for everybody around them بشير ابن الميدي رحمه الله he said I saw I saw he was the Imam of the people of Sham he said I saw him it was like Oza'i was blind من الخشوع جوه to his خشوع Oza'i the excessive crying that he used to cry and the weeping that would come out of his eyes it was as though he became what? he became blind from it رحمه الله رحمة الله السيعة عبد الله ابن أبي الهديل رحمه الله he says لقد شغلت النار من يعقل عن ذكر الجنة he said that the hellfire it has preoccupied the smart one in remembering the matters pertaining to Jannah that the Salafi Adil Ummah some of them used to be asked about the description of Jannah and how Jannah is like and the inhabitants of Jannah now they are going to enjoy themselves in Jannah and they used to say I've not read about the affairs of Jannah I've not looked into the issues of Jannah I've just made sure I don't enter the hellfire ولي ذلك المعلّبن يزياد رحمه الله أز الإيمام عبد الله ابن أحمد من حمد المنشز الكتاب الزهد أبن عساكل الكتاب التاريق الدمشق أبن عايم الأصبهانين الكتاب حضة الأولياء وطبقات الأصفية كان one day sitting with a group of مطرف من عبد الله الشخير كان one day sitting with a group of brothers of his فقادوا في يبكل الجنة so they started to speak about Jannah and how Jannah looks and the beauties of Jannah and the Mashallah و الله has prepared for the people of Jannah فقال مطرف مطرف he responded by saying لا أدري I don't know what you guys are talking about pertaining to Jannah ما تقولون I don't know what you guys are saying حال ذكر الناري the affairs pertaining to the how fire had got between بيني و بين الجنة it got between me and Jannah so I don't think he said of of Jannah I think of the how fire now my beloved brothers and sisters if Jannah sorry if death is something which is حت ملازم it's something we're all going to go through and there's no way out of it and we're going to 100% die as Allah the Prophet جيبريل came down to him رسليام محمد عش ما شئتا فإنك ميتوا محمد live for as long as you want و أحبب love من شئتا love whoever you wish from whoever you see remember that you're going to depart from that person one day death is a حت ملازم everyone's going to go through it everybody's going to endure it if that's the reality and we are and it's funny because death is something even an atheist would agree to right you can have any religion you can have any faith you want you can believe what religion you want you can even have no religion if you want you can be an atheist and an agnostic it doesn't matter every single body believes that death is going to come الكيس العاقل والله is the one who sees this opportunity today this life today he is in right now it's an opportunity for you to think hard to say where is it that I want to be where do I want to take myself where do I want to head brothers and sisters going against Allah's command its consequences are not only bad in hereafter and you're not only going to bury in the grave this obedience of Allah will also affect your worldly life it will affect your worldly life and you will live a pain painful life Allah says in the Quran ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكة ونحشوره يوم القيامة أعمى those who oppose Allah سبحانه وتعالى this book they live a what معيشة ضنكة they live a very hard life the other day I came into contact with a brother I saw him when he was very very young he got into these he got into selling and buying drugs and now his stability and his mind set and the way he thinks is all over the place I remember many years ago I'm talking about 3 years and a half 3 years and a half ago maybe even 4 I advised him one time I saw him with the wrong crowd and I told him what you're doing is not good this path that you're treading on very good look at who you become friends with these individuals that you're around I'm sure they are not going to benefit you so he ignored what I had to tell him and he carried his life the way he did the other day I came into contact with him sitting in the middle of a road was driving in the middle of the road because of the excessive drugs that he's taken his mind is all over the place he's young he's not reached 20 years of age the disobedience of Allah its consequences are bad here I remember one time when I became an Imam of my local masjid I am an Imam and the people of the locality were like Alhamdulillah you've come you're part of the masjid but there's something that I said to them and I truly believe this I said I saved my religion in this masjid I'm doing myself a favor in coming to the masjid I'm doing myself a favor by being in the masjid I'm not doing the community a favor number one by being in the masjid by being part of the masjid I'm number one doing myself a favor and every single person you see go astray and go away whether it be selling drugs buying drugs hang around with the wrong people you will always find they disconnect themselves from what from the masjid watch them you won't see them in the Jumaa and the wolf will eat the wolf will only eat the goat that's alone when he sees you the shaitan when he sees you by yourself alone disconnected yourself from the ummah because in the masjid all of the people who are around you are your brothers you're safe now you're safe in this place it's a shield for you when you walk away take a step out you're vulnerable you're weak you're open to everything your e-man can be as high as it wants your deen can be as high as it wants your religion can be as strong as it wants it's a matter of days and you will see yourself go astray and you will see yourself seeing things that you never used to see normal you start to see it normal now brothers I say this from our heart that loves you all and I truly do and I've said this before I grew up in north London this is my area او ردها سعادة و سعادة المجتمع مهما كده سعادة طولة دو الامل this is not how matters are done youngsters and brothers the way that you live your life the way you are right now careless that's not how matters are done والله the angel of death when it comes it doesn't care how young you are it doesn't care how old you are it will come بغطة unsuspectedly it will take you out sometimes we get fooled by that the fact that we're young we might think to ourselves الحمد لله I'm gonna live for a while but you know what's funny the people who die younger are more than those who die old age you know that right but it's that one person who passes the age of 60 when he lives on shaitan we make us think that we're going to be that one person one person might live after 60 and a hundred might die younger than 30 but we'll always look at that one that lived after 60 the deceptions of shaitan account yourself if you know today yourself you as an individual if you know what you're doing and what you're up to is wrong why do you expect Allah to enter you into paradise to have mercy on you and He will enter you into paradise but why do you expect it if you yourself know from the righteous deeds your parents everyone of you has that opportunity your mother your father is alive and you have that opportunity to take their advices الحمد لله we don't have to fight with our parents about praying and fasting and fearing Allah they're already pushing us to it do you see I remember a couple of days ago I called my dad back home in Somalia I spoke to him and my dad's now very old in age older than he was before but he's still young so he said something to me he said to me dad I'm at an age where I just want you guys to know if I'm alive or dead just keep track of me every now and then just find out he's with me so it really touched me because he was at a day in his life when he was young when he was young a youth it's the cycle of life everybody I remember when I was young there was things I used to feel in my heart that I hear my mom complain about all my back now I see myself sometimes complaining about what hurts me and I can already see ages coming so death is going to come to you wherever you are even if you're in a tough wall death will come to you and it will take you and Allah سبحانه وتعالى will only have mercy on you and will only remember you and protect you from if you were there in the dunya working hard putting effort and hard work in my local masjid I started doing the biography of I started the explanation of the the book is written by who and when I was preparing normally the scholars what they do before they explain the book they explain the what the author so I went through the life of the author and I was reading his life at the ending when shegh nasir was on his death bed he wrote a farewell he wrote a wasiyah and from the wasiyah was and the three points that he requested for it to be done for him was that he could be hastened to his grave quickly he said if my family members are outside the country and they're not in where I am right now don't waste too much time calling them and saying to them and bani is dead he's passed away come I stood over that line like hasten me to my grave a person would only say that if they worked hard would only want to go to his grave quickly if he's got something to run to and he requested if he could be taken on the shoulders according to the sunnah and not by car and if he can be taken to the closest grave and he also requested many other conditions sheikh mnu'a uthaimin was told about what sheikh nasir had written and what he requested for and he said something he said sheikh al bani implemented the sunnah when he was alive and he also made sure the sunnah was followed when he passed away and that's the reality today you're living this world you're doing something you're saying something and that's the way you're going to most likely die من عملة على شيء anyone who does something most likely is going to die doing that one thing that he used to going to pass out on that if you're a person who used to pray a lot the chances is high that you're going to pass away praying right and if you were reading Quran a lot you're most likely going to pass out insha'Allah تعالى and die reading that the Quran but if you spent your life on the streets walking around the streets or you spent your life in business and work you're most likely going to die that way it might be something good that you might die on you might even die something that's not حراء just normal just take benefit from your time and prepare for death when it comes to you and may Allah make us those who speak and their action and their righteous deeds and that's what pleases him anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me a shaitaan and Allah and His Messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك اشد والله إله إلا الله ستارفرك أتوب إلي these series are not meant to be long they're not meant to be evident here and there it's just meant to be a reflection Insha'Allah تعالى
