Antipathy of Death

0:02 [SPEAKER_00]: Bismillahirrahmanirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrahimirrah [SPEAKER_00]: And then I say down, I'm waiting for them to call my name.

0:33 [SPEAKER_00]: And normally they just call like a number or they'll try to read your name. [SPEAKER_00]: And like, my name is Billet and you know, and like, come on, they're going to have some trouble pronouncing it, right? [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sitting there and all of a sudden I hear number 156, Billet.

0:47 [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, my name properly, and I was like, wait a minute. [SPEAKER_00]: And I look, and it's the machine. [SPEAKER_00]: And the machine says my name perfectly. [SPEAKER_00]: And my wife was something she was like, wow. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a machine-said to your name better than anyone who ever heard to your name.

0:59 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yeah, I was very impressed. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the name, of course, if you don't as an named after, I'm named after, say then I'll be out there with you alone. [SPEAKER_00]: Growing up, none of my teachers could ever say my name, right? [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I went to all the public schools and everything with the college here and stuff, none of my teachers ever could pronounce my name.

1:13 [SPEAKER_00]: I used to give every shy, repeating my name to them again and again and again and again. [SPEAKER_00]: And they would, I'm sure some of you have had this experience of it, so I wouldn't even have had this, right? [SPEAKER_00]: So Rami, not Rami, Rami, right? [SPEAKER_00]: So I run into this trouble all the time.

1:24 [SPEAKER_00]: They couldn't say my name, I would get shy. [SPEAKER_00]: But we're lucky the more I read about, say that I'd be lucky the longer the more I became, you know, came to love him. [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, the history of not just the name, but like us, our people, right? [SPEAKER_00]: This, and this is our people.

1:37 [SPEAKER_00]: When I say our people, our people is not based on our skin color or socioeconomic status or where we are in some part of the world. [SPEAKER_00]: That's not our people. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't say my people. [SPEAKER_00]: No, your people are umatul Islam. [SPEAKER_00]: That's it. [SPEAKER_00]: Umatul say that I'm a Mahamatul Allah.

1:49 [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, those are our people. [SPEAKER_00]: That's why we talk about the Palestinians as our people. [SPEAKER_00]: We talk about the Somali's as our people, the Sudanese is our people. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not, oh, your people, my people know, they're all, we're all the same. [SPEAKER_00]: And so the more I read, the more I came to love them.

2:03 [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, the story of being out of the alone was an amazing story, right? [SPEAKER_00]: We know, I mean, he's a person that went from being trampled under the feet of the Moshtikian and Makkah, right in front of the Khabba to standing on top of the Khabba, and giving the adhan, amazing story that Abu Sufihan, right?

2:18 [SPEAKER_00]: At the end of basically, the Muslims conquest of Makkah, all the alana, right after you'd accepted Islam, essentially, like he's sitting there, and he's with two other people from the Moshtikian, right? [SPEAKER_00]: And they had an accepted Islam, he had [SPEAKER_00]: be dealt with the alone who goes and gives a gun on top of the camera and they're sitting there and in one of them you know he makes a comment in a remark he says that you know I'm so glad that my father died before he could see this and the other one also makes a similar remark and Abu Sufihan is sitting next to him and he's like you know what I want to say something but I know that jubri is going to come and tell me what I said so I'm going to keep my mouth shut I'm not going to say anything there's a smart guy you know and so no wonder I lost one that I guided him to Islam right

2:55 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, after the B.S. [SPEAKER_00]: had passed away, then he could not bear to stay inside of Medina, due to his great longing and affection for the Prophet ﷺ. [SPEAKER_00]: And the B.S. [SPEAKER_00]: had to tell him to give the other an oftentimes. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's when the B.S.

3:14 [SPEAKER_00]: had to say to him, to give us rest. [SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing. [SPEAKER_00]: We think of Salah as an obligation like it's a chore, oh my god, I've got to go make will do that. [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to pray and I've got to do this and I have to take off my socks and do all this in that hall.

3:25 [SPEAKER_00]: Man, to go and make will do this. [SPEAKER_00]: Or how about we're the opposite? [SPEAKER_00]: The purpose also I'm used to go to, be it out of the alone and say what? [SPEAKER_00]: Give us a rest in our prayer, in our Salah. [SPEAKER_00]: They used to find comfort. [SPEAKER_00]: That's your escape from the day.

3:37 [SPEAKER_00]: The way that we look at it is Salah, your Salah, is your escape from your day. [SPEAKER_00]: When you're praying, think about it, think about it for just a moment. [SPEAKER_00]: You're not doing any work. [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard on for you to be on your phone because your phone's gonna break your prayer.

3:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Your wife and your kids are not gonna bother you when you're praying. [SPEAKER_00]: No one's gonna say anything to you. [SPEAKER_00]: Your boss can't call you at that time. [SPEAKER_00]: You're completely off the grid. [SPEAKER_00]: You're off-line. [SPEAKER_00]: You're connected to a loss of pound on fire.

4:00 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one time during the entire day. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, five times you shall live during the day, minimum. [SPEAKER_00]: Where you are disconnected from the world and connected to a loss of pound on fire. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one time you should genuinely be at rest and be at peace.

4:16 [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say something else, but then I was like, you know, we're going to get off on to a total tangent from the conversation that we're at right now. [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be talking about Karahia to the most. [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be talking about death and this liking of death and how a person can change their perspective and their mentality on on death itself and eventually on life.

4:32 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're talking about Sala, just one last story, famous story, and this is a story of Sheikh Ahmed Dubamba, very famous story about him from Africa. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when obviously the colonizers were colonizing various parts of the continent, he was known as a great, you know, what do you have on most of how that a great saint, and he had many Karamat attributed to him.

4:52 [SPEAKER_00]: But the thing is that the Oliya never considered the Karamat to be a big deal. [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is that we always love these stories. [SPEAKER_00]: That's a crazy story. [SPEAKER_00]: When we hear stories about the miracles of the prophets, I want to say to them about the Sahabah and other people, we love them.

5:03 [SPEAKER_00]: We become entranced by them. [SPEAKER_00]: But we miss the entire point of the Karama. [SPEAKER_00]: We miss the point of the story. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll give you an example. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is what we're talking about. [SPEAKER_00]: Sadah for just a moment. [SPEAKER_00]: Then we'll transition and show them that.

5:14 [SPEAKER_00]: He was on a ship and he was captured by the French. [SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, taking him up board and they basically refused to let him off the ship, obviously. [SPEAKER_00]: And time for Oslo had come in and the time for Oslo was leaving. [SPEAKER_00]: It's time for Mahledavino.

5:24 [SPEAKER_00]: He needs to pray. [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, look, I need to have a space on the ship to pray. [SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, no, we're not going to give you any leeway to pray on the ship. [SPEAKER_00]: He says, okay, no problem. [SPEAKER_00]: So he takes this and said, gee, he has to go mad with him.

5:34 [SPEAKER_00]: And he goes to the edge of the ship and he rolls it out on the top of the water and it lays flat on the water. [SPEAKER_00]: And he stands on top of the subject that he prays. [SPEAKER_00]: And then he gets off and he rolls it back up and he goes on to the boat. [SPEAKER_00]: They think about that and you're like oh my god [SPEAKER_00]: is the man who walked on water.

5:47 [SPEAKER_00]: Now he did his walk, he prayed on water. [SPEAKER_00]: And you think that's an amazing story, man. [SPEAKER_00]: What I'm mirroring about that Allah's not that I give to this wally of Allah. [SPEAKER_00]: But we miss the whole point. [SPEAKER_00]: What's the point of the story? [SPEAKER_00]: The Sheikh was like, I cannot miss my Ostra prayer.

6:00 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the whole point of the story. [SPEAKER_00]: This was his dedication and devotion to the Ostra prayer that I can't let it go and say, oh, you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: I'm captured by the enemies. [SPEAKER_00]: So I have an excuse. [SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait, and I can pray after. [SPEAKER_00]: Because of course, I'm surrounded by enemies.

6:12 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah's not that I has given us what else I have to do this. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, no, no, no, I need to pray right now. [SPEAKER_00]: And the last month that I just changed the physics of nature, so that he's able to pray. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, going back to the story of Bilal Al-Diyal Law, and as you were saying that, so he left Medina.

6:28 [SPEAKER_00]: And he goes and he settles in Syria, he settles in Damascus. [SPEAKER_00]: And he would go to visit Medina after, when, you know, an obvious start that was so that I came to him in a dream. [SPEAKER_00]: And he asked to be dialed with the alarm. [SPEAKER_00]: He says, O Bilal, why don't you come and visit us?

6:40 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what's this, you know, distance that you have created between the two of us? [SPEAKER_00]: And so be it out of the alone who felt so guilty, felt so bad. [SPEAKER_00]: And the only reason he went all the way there, I think when he gets there, he gives I done. [SPEAKER_00]: Because when he gets there, obviously everyone sees him, and they're so excited they're like, be it out of give us I done, like you used to during the time of the Prophet ﷺ.

6:55 [SPEAKER_00]: So he gives I done. [SPEAKER_00]: And the entirety of Medina breaks out in tears, everyone runs out of their homes. [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone comes into the message to see that surely, the messenger of Allah ﷺ must be alive. [SPEAKER_00]: Because the only time they can ever remember, the voice of the Prophet ﷺ is when the Prophet ﷺ, what would he do?

7:10 [SPEAKER_00]: He would come, he would give the Idan, and then he would turn and look. [SPEAKER_00]: He would look to see what the Prophet ﷺ was, because as soon as if that one would finish it, there'd be a set of what some would open the curtain of his house and he would come inside the message. [SPEAKER_00]: So everyone runs into the message, expecting that to happen again.

7:25 [SPEAKER_00]: And so imagine, right, even below the overlay said that he couldn't even finish the entirety of the other and how much he was overcome with emotion. [SPEAKER_00]: This was his love for, and I'll be able to talk to him for his companions. [SPEAKER_00]: He lived until he was 59 or 60 years old.

7:37 [SPEAKER_00]: And so he settled down in Syria and Damascus. [SPEAKER_00]: And then eventually, you know, the final illness of his life is, you know, there to overtake him. [SPEAKER_00]: So he's on his deathbed. [SPEAKER_00]: And as he's on his deathbed, he's in a great deal of pain. [SPEAKER_00]: He's in a bandit amount of pain.

7:51 [SPEAKER_00]: As, you know, there'd be a Sato-Sala mentioned to us, right? [SPEAKER_00]: The Innelli-Moti-Sakarata. [SPEAKER_00]: Indeed, death has its pains. [SPEAKER_00]: A lost matter of mentions, whether it's a kerala-tul-mote, a lost matter that says that, you know, like the pains of death and the finality of your life has surely come to you.

8:03 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt that you can't escape that. [SPEAKER_00]: And so even the B.Sato-Sala was sweating profusely. [SPEAKER_00]: And so I shut all the alarm and asked him at that moment that, do you even feel this or messenger of Allah ﷺ? [SPEAKER_00]: And he answers in the affirmative. [SPEAKER_00]: He says, yes, everyone's going to feel this.

8:16 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, when Bidanthal the alone is going through this at the end of his life, his wife is there over standing over him sitting at his bedside and she's overcome with emotion watching her husband go through this and he's on an old man. [SPEAKER_00]: He's 59, 60 years old. [SPEAKER_00]: So she's feeling a great deal of loss that she's going to lose her husband.

8:33 [SPEAKER_00]: And so she begins to cry out. [SPEAKER_00]: Wah has not, he says that, you know, oh grief, oh sadness, oh pain that we feel. [SPEAKER_00]: What must you be feeling, and then what are we feeling? [SPEAKER_00]: And be the little, the only corrects her. [SPEAKER_00]: This is the whole idea of correcting that perspective that we should, you know, we should all try to do when it comes to death, when it comes to leaving this dunya.

8:52 [SPEAKER_00]: He corrects her. [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, no, no, no, don't say that. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't say that. [SPEAKER_00]: what I can, la, wa for ha, wa for ha, how happy are we? [SPEAKER_00]: How happy am I that this is the last moment of my life? [SPEAKER_00]: Why is this the case? [SPEAKER_00]: Ahadah Nalkha Muhammadin Wa Hizbah.

9:07 [SPEAKER_00]: Tomorrow we will meet Muhammad ﷺ and all of his companions. [SPEAKER_00]: All my friends are waiting for me on the other side. [SPEAKER_00]: You're sad to see me leaving. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy. [SPEAKER_00]: I get to go go be with my friends again. [SPEAKER_00]: I get to go see all of them again.

9:21 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's been so many years since I've seen them. [SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to leave. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been decades since he has seen the B.S. [SPEAKER_00]: have to set up, and so he's happy to leave. [SPEAKER_00]: The thing about, you know, Janna, the reason why you and I don't like desire to strongly as we should, and then there are other people who do desire very strongly.

9:37 [SPEAKER_00]: The difference is, for some people, Janna is not personal, for other people, Janna is personal. [SPEAKER_00]: You ask a person who has lost a loved one, and what lie they want nothing to do with this dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: They can't wait to leave. [SPEAKER_00]: They're just looking forward to when am I going to see my spouse again?

9:54 [SPEAKER_00]: When am I going to see my kids again? [SPEAKER_00]: When am I going to see my parents again? [SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to go see them. [SPEAKER_00]: This world has nothing in it for me anymore. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this house that I wanted to build so badly in here, I have it. [SPEAKER_00]: Now my wife is not here.

10:06 [SPEAKER_00]: I just want to go and be in the house with her. [SPEAKER_00]: It's in the hereafter. [SPEAKER_00]: And that person, they will never experience his carohiet with most. [SPEAKER_00]: They will never have that detestment of death. [SPEAKER_00]: They're looking forward to leaving this dunya.

10:17 [SPEAKER_00]: Eventually, you and I, it's the opposite. [SPEAKER_00]: Judging as not personal for us, Judging as is someplace, is it something if emeralds a concept of something out there? [SPEAKER_00]: But at the moment it becomes personal, then it hits us, we're like, oh man. [SPEAKER_00]: What am I doing here?

10:30 [SPEAKER_00]: This is where I'm thinking when it's day here forever. [SPEAKER_00]: The moment we lose somebody close to you, then that realization sets in. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, the Prophet ﷺ used to say, manally, what it dunya, what's my relationship with this world? [SPEAKER_00]: What do I care about this dunya?

10:43 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he used to say ﷺ. [SPEAKER_00]: What do I care about this world? [SPEAKER_00]: What am I except a person who just settles on the side of a tree? [SPEAKER_00]: And he just takes shade for a little while, he gets up and he leaves. [SPEAKER_00]: That's me. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just somebody coming here just for a few moments and I'm leaving.

10:57 [SPEAKER_00]: Why? [SPEAKER_00]: Because the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, for him, the Al-Qaeda was always personal. [SPEAKER_00]: He saw Allah ﷺ when he was born, his father had already passed away. [SPEAKER_00]: His mother passed away when he was an infant, when he was just a child. [SPEAKER_00]: He lost his uncle, lost his grandfather, lost five of his six kids on Allah ﷺ.

11:12 [SPEAKER_00]: In his lifetime, he lost Khadija to the Allah ﷺ, his most beloved wife. [SPEAKER_00]: He lost all of these people while he was alive ﷺ. [SPEAKER_00]: For him, Janda was always personal. [SPEAKER_00]: He couldn't wait to go. [SPEAKER_00]: But for us, this dunya is personal. [SPEAKER_00]: Gender is something foreign.

11:29 [SPEAKER_00]: So no matter how much we keep saying, like, I can't wait to go to gender, like, not really, not really. [SPEAKER_00]: Because if the angel of death came knocked on your door, what are you going to say to him? [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go. [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be like, hold on. [SPEAKER_00]: Give me a minute.

11:40 [SPEAKER_00]: At that time, how much I had to come and vote? [SPEAKER_00]: God, I don't bid a joke. [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: Give me a minute, Allah, hold on. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine, if the criterion for us to go to gender or the opposite direction was based on our phone.

11:54 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything that we've watched in the past 24 hours, everything we read, everything we looked at in the past 24 hours, that is the gauge of whether you go to gender or you go to the other place. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be like, here you go. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine if the criterion for you to go to gender was the last conversation that you had with your spouse, or your kids, or your parents, or some other Muslim.

12:15 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the very final thing. [SPEAKER_00]: The Allah's Father looks at. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, if this went well, you go to gender. [SPEAKER_00]: If it didn't, you were the opposite direction. [SPEAKER_00]: How many of us are going to be so excited? [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'm ready. [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine if the gauge, the barrier for entry for us in DeGenda, was our relationship with Qur'an.

12:32 [SPEAKER_00]: Are we gonna be like, can't wait, let's go. [SPEAKER_00]: A lot tests me on here right now. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready to go to agenda. [SPEAKER_00]: Or are we gonna be like, let me say we'll shake my hand with for a little bit, you know, we'll polish up my Qur'an a little bit, and then see what happens.

12:44 [SPEAKER_00]: Is that what we're gonna say? [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the question is, well, life, rather sister is think, 20 years in the world, 20 years in dunya, we don't have 20 soldas memorized, 40 years in the world, we don't have 40 pages of Quran down, what have we been doing? [SPEAKER_00]: What have we been doing?

12:59 [SPEAKER_00]: Think about it, I mean, wash out like, you know, 20, 20, six, here we are, we're so excited for the new year, new me, right? [SPEAKER_00]: How many of the goals and resolutions that you've created? [SPEAKER_00]: How many of them revolve around the dean? [SPEAKER_00]: I'll show a lot of people are thinking 2026.

13:11 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get married this year and shot a lot of 26. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have kids this year. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put my down payment down on this house and shot a lot of 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get a job. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to graduate. [SPEAKER_00]: How many of us are like 2026?

13:22 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to memorize four Jews of Quran. [SPEAKER_00]: 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to do 50 extra fast. [SPEAKER_00]: 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go for Hajj. [SPEAKER_00]: 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go for Umra. [SPEAKER_00]: 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to fix my relationship with my parents or with these people or those people.

13:34 [SPEAKER_00]: 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be a regular Muslimly in the message where the angels will know my name when I come here. [SPEAKER_00]: How many of us have those ambitions and goals? [SPEAKER_00]: Is that in our resolution list? [SPEAKER_00]: Ask ourselves that question. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is all related and relevant to this topic for today, because that's going to be the practical treatment.

13:51 [SPEAKER_00]: What do you supposed to do? [SPEAKER_00]: When the realization sets in that I am going to leave this world, death will come upon me at any moment. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you guys are watching that, you guys are watching that match between what's his name, Anthony Joshua, and Logan Paul, right?

14:07 [SPEAKER_00]: Jake Paul, I said, there you can't tell the difference. [SPEAKER_00]: smack the heck out of that guy, didn't he, man? [SPEAKER_00]: And Anthony Joshua last week, I think he's Muslim, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he is, because actually my cousins know him actually personally, which is kind of weird.

14:19 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how, but I'm very good for them, I guess. [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like an Olympic boxer, he's like, you know, world-famous guy, right? [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, last week, Marshall, he posted a picture of himself and he was on top of the world. [SPEAKER_00]: He was like, you know, $90 million to beat up this guy that nobody likes.

14:34 [SPEAKER_00]: And today the whole world is my fan and everyone loves me. [SPEAKER_00]: He's so happy he was celebrating. [SPEAKER_00]: Three days ago, four days ago. [SPEAKER_00]: He's in a car crash in Nigeria. [SPEAKER_00]: It's him and he has some friends with him. [SPEAKER_00]: His friends, Muslim.

14:48 [SPEAKER_00]: Two of them passed away in the car accident right there and he is injured and he survives. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, like he went from being on top of the world to losing his best friend within three days. [SPEAKER_00]: within three days. [SPEAKER_00]: You can see that video. [SPEAKER_00]: It's online.

15:02 [SPEAKER_00]: And the brother who passed away is a proper Muslim. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a proper Muslim. [SPEAKER_00]: He's friends with Shiyuh and this and that. [SPEAKER_00]: There's pictures. [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's posting pictures of him. [SPEAKER_00]: Basically, making Umad on Hajj with all the major.

15:12 [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, you know, Mufti make made like a well for him. [SPEAKER_00]: Somewhere in Africa. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, we're going to dig a well for him. [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm on our set of minds, like, you know, we have to, we have to donate to this cause. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Michelle, the brother I left a good legacy behind.

15:22 [SPEAKER_00]: But he was his best friend and he was his personal trainer. [SPEAKER_00]: And just three days ago, he got to watch like his best friend become like the celebrity of the world. [SPEAKER_00]: And then just a few moments later, death comes knocking. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm completely unexpected.

15:36 [SPEAKER_00]: Where did you think that this brother had the idea that I'm going to pass away in a car accident in Nigeria? [SPEAKER_00]: He's not from Nigeria. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's how death is. [SPEAKER_00]: It comes at any moment, you and I have no idea where it's going to be written for us. [SPEAKER_00]: And you know you think about it like you know when your birthday is, right?

15:52 [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody in Charlotte knows when your birthday is, right? [SPEAKER_00]: So every year, you know when it comes around, you know, all this is a day that I was born. [SPEAKER_00]: But think about it that there is a certain day that is coming around on that calendar and you pass by that day every single year.

16:06 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the day of your death. [SPEAKER_00]: You don't know when it is. [SPEAKER_00]: You know where you were born? [SPEAKER_00]: You know what hospital you were born in, which house you were born in? [SPEAKER_00]: You know all of those things. [SPEAKER_00]: You know the details of your birth.

16:17 [SPEAKER_00]: I was born at this time. [SPEAKER_00]: These are the people who are there. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what happened. [SPEAKER_00]: My mom told me the whole story, that the same story would be written about your death. [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a place where you pass to it. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a hospital that you're going to be in your final moments.

16:31 [SPEAKER_00]: And there will be people who will be there present around you. [SPEAKER_00]: And that same story will be shared. [SPEAKER_00]: Just like that, your birth was a reality, so is your death. [SPEAKER_00]: Just like your birth date is a reality, so is your death date, reality. [SPEAKER_00]: Just like being on top of the world that enjoying everyone's attention and fame and love is a reality, so is the opposite.

16:50 [SPEAKER_00]: Now people are going to talk about them like, wow, man, he was such a young guy, who would have thought, who would have thought? [SPEAKER_00]: The question is like, you can't make yourself love death, right? [SPEAKER_00]: That's a morbid thing. [SPEAKER_00]: We're not asked to love death.

17:03 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a very weird thing. [SPEAKER_00]: But person starts liking like loving death. [SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to die, like, please come and sign up for like one hour session with me, and you shall love me, we will discuss your problems, unpack them. [SPEAKER_00]: Because that's a problem.

17:14 [SPEAKER_00]: You can't be like, you know, I can't wait to die. [SPEAKER_00]: No, don't be like that. [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of crazy talk, okay? [SPEAKER_00]: We're not supposed to. [SPEAKER_00]: We're not supposed to. [SPEAKER_00]: You're supposed to use what, unless one of that it gave you from this dunya, you're supposed to enjoy your supposed to live your life and you're supposed to prepare for the year after.

17:27 [SPEAKER_00]: So then the question is when the B.A.A. [SPEAKER_00]: said that he is speaking, and he mentions to Al-Haba and he says that, man, Ahabbaliqah Allahi, Allahiqah, a person who desires and loves to meet Allah, Subhanah, Allah, Allah, is the ones that will love meeting that person. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, man, Khariqah, Allahiqah, Allahiqah, Allahiqah, Allahiqah, the person who despises and dislikes meeting Allah, Subhanah, Thada, so too will Allah, Subhanah, disliked meeting that person.

17:48 [SPEAKER_00]: So naturally, the question is like, hold on, this is about death. [SPEAKER_00]: And so I shout out to the Allah, I say to the Prophet ﷺ, Qaraahidah to the mode. [SPEAKER_00]: A messenger of Allah ﷺ, are you referring to disliking death? [SPEAKER_00]: Fakuhl-l-l-nana Qaraul-Mood, all of us disliked that.

18:02 [SPEAKER_00]: So how is it the case that like, you know, this is a bad thing? [SPEAKER_00]: How is it that you, how can I make myself like death? [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's naturally, it's fit to the, at least one that I created, it's there, but we are all right. [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, I was able to create it in this manner, it's there, jubildah.

18:15 [SPEAKER_00]: They're supposed to disliked leaving, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: And so, they'll be so at the same time, explains it to Ayshad al-Li'alun. [SPEAKER_00]: He says that, no, this is a reference too. [SPEAKER_00]: When a person is at their final moments in the angels come to him, they'll come to her.

18:28 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he realizes she realizes what's going to happen to them after. [SPEAKER_00]: And the person sees, they get the Bashad al, they get the good news, that they're going to be meeting Allah Subhan Al-Tadah. [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to meet Allah Subhan Al-Tadah's forgiveness and his pleasure and his happiness with them.

18:41 [SPEAKER_00]: And that person is excited overjoyed. [SPEAKER_00]: It's like someone finally calls your number. [SPEAKER_00]: And you're so happy you're like, I can't wait for this appointment. [SPEAKER_00]: You jump up and you run to go and meet your appointment. [SPEAKER_00]: For instance, the opposite.

18:53 [SPEAKER_00]: That a person's name is called and they're dreading it and they're dragging their feet. [SPEAKER_00]: They're hating the fact that they have this appointment right there. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what a moment I read this, that's what a meeting is with Allah, Allah, and so that's what he is meant to be referring to.

19:06 [SPEAKER_00]: That at the final moment that person is either excited, I can't wait to cross over that bridge, or the other person is dreading it, like all men is the last thing that I want is to leave. [SPEAKER_00]: And so that is the problem. [SPEAKER_00]: The issue, the illness is what? [SPEAKER_00]: When a person feels like I'm dragging my feet through life, and I don't want to go on the other side.

19:27 [SPEAKER_00]: So what are some signs and symptoms of a person who might have this antipathy towards death caught on here at the remote? [SPEAKER_00]: That that person is just like, just fixated in this worldly life and they don't want to leave. [SPEAKER_00]: Allah's Oujah tells us this is a reality. [SPEAKER_00]: This is an inevitable reality.

19:42 [SPEAKER_00]: Gullu Nessian, the ecotulmote, each and every single soul will taste death. [SPEAKER_00]: And the last one that is a very interesting word, the ecotulmote means to taste. [SPEAKER_00]: And taste is what? [SPEAKER_00]: It is first person's subjective, which means that your experience of something, the way that you taste something, and the way I taste something can be completely different.

19:59 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it an interesting how you give a mango to somebody? [SPEAKER_00]: He loves it. [SPEAKER_00]: You give it to somebody else, he despises it. [SPEAKER_00]: As the worst thing, I don't want this. [SPEAKER_00]: Very strange, right? [SPEAKER_00]: You might think objectively mangoes are going to taste good.

20:09 [SPEAKER_00]: There are plenty of people who don't like mangoes. [SPEAKER_00]: The same way, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Death for some people, they can't wait. [SPEAKER_00]: They can't wait to experience that thing. [SPEAKER_00]: And other people, they're just like, no, this is the last thing that I want. [SPEAKER_00]: And the way that a person feels and experiences it, no one else will ever understand that feeling.

20:22 [SPEAKER_00]: No one else will understand that feeling. [SPEAKER_00]: But it's something all of us will have to feel. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not an incredible thing. [SPEAKER_00]: It's something that no one can relate to. [SPEAKER_00]: There's like, there was no one's gonna come back and tell you, here's what it's like to die, right?

20:34 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, unless another tells us, we'll find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way

21:04 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a meeting between using ping and what's the name, Vladimir Putin, right? [SPEAKER_00]: This is maybe like a couple months ago. [SPEAKER_00]: And they were caught on a mic talking and they're talking about like, you know, oh, what? [SPEAKER_00]: Why does anyone need to age today?

21:14 [SPEAKER_00]: Why does anyone need to get sick today? [SPEAKER_00]: But she was with the technology that we have and the fact that we can grow organs. [SPEAKER_00]: And they're talking on the live mic between the two of them as they're walking and discussing this, discussing what immortality. [SPEAKER_00]: the ability, the idea that we can live forever.

21:29 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they're trying to chase after. [SPEAKER_00]: Most want that I say that this death you are running away from, it will surely meet you. [SPEAKER_00]: The angel of death is going to be waiting for you at that moment. [SPEAKER_00]: They have a story that's narrated about Sayyidina Suleiman.

21:40 [SPEAKER_00]: Adaisana. [SPEAKER_00]: story has given us called the meeting in, there's, I actually got a lot of, like, the narrations of this story. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll just give you one of this, how I'm in the books of Tefezid. [SPEAKER_00]: Famous story, that one Soleiman, a little Adais Adam, he's inside of his palace, and as he's there, a young man enters upon him.

21:54 [SPEAKER_00]: And he has, like, his court with him, he has as much as it's with him, and the young man comes. [SPEAKER_00]: And as he's walking towards Soleiman, Adais said, he keeps looking at this one person sitting in the corner. [SPEAKER_00]: So the guy sitting in the corner is doing his thing, and he notices that this newcomer has come in, and he starts staring at me.

22:08 [SPEAKER_00]: So he looks at it, it makes eye contact, like, looks away. [SPEAKER_00]: Then he looks up, and the guy is still staring at him, it kind of freaks him out a little bit. [SPEAKER_00]: Then he gets to Suleimanadi, and as he's speaking to Suleimanadi, the guy keeps looking over this way, the young man.

22:19 [SPEAKER_00]: And the waseer, the minister is getting kind of freaked out. [SPEAKER_00]: Why is the guy keep looking at me, kind of keep looking at me, and he's looking at me so seriously, he's shooting daggers at me. [SPEAKER_00]: So he's getting a little bit unnerved by this. [SPEAKER_00]: And so eventually, the young man leaves, he departs, and he goes to Suleimanadi, said, I'm the minister.

22:34 [SPEAKER_00]: The waseer goes to him, and he says that, oh, no, be on the lie, I declare that you must tell me. [SPEAKER_00]: Who was this man? [SPEAKER_00]: That He is steering at me in such a way. [SPEAKER_00]: It's made me very uncomfortable. [SPEAKER_00]: And today, man, honestly, somebody answers a response, and He says, that actually, that was the angel of death.

22:46 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you because you're a demand. [SPEAKER_00]: As the angel of death, He's like, oh my God, man, it's terrifying, right? [SPEAKER_00]: The wizard of the minister is like, what am I going to do? [SPEAKER_00]: Angel of death is steering me down. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, look, please.

22:55 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to be of Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah is giving you the control of the winds. [SPEAKER_00]: So please, I beg you, that you deposit me somewhere far away from this land. [SPEAKER_00]: Basically, a month's journey, you can allow me to do that in just one morning or evening, right?

23:09 [SPEAKER_00]: So say money. [SPEAKER_00]: It seems like okay sure. [SPEAKER_00]: So it's very money. [SPEAKER_00]: Some commands of the winds of the man is transported from where he is and fell asleep all the way to hint. [SPEAKER_00]: A month's journey away. [SPEAKER_00]: And then eventually, the angel of death, the young man, he comes back to meet Suleimanale Suleiman again.

23:22 [SPEAKER_00]: Suleimanale Suleimanale Suleimanale Suleimanale he talks to him and he says, oh my God, you know, like, when you come to my, my much less, like you just come as a regular person, but for some reason you scared the daylights out of my minister. [SPEAKER_00]: And he's been wondering like, what was going on?

23:34 [SPEAKER_00]: So he demanded I tell him who you were, so I told him. [SPEAKER_00]: So why were you staring at him so much? [SPEAKER_00]: So the angel of death he responds, he says that, you know, I was amazed and stunned. [SPEAKER_00]: Why is this man here? [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't believe that he's sitting here.

23:47 [SPEAKER_00]: So I wanted to say, why couldn't you believe it? [SPEAKER_00]: He said, because I came here in the morning, and I know that Allah SubhanAllah thought I had told me he had decreed that this man's soul, he will take it when he is in hand. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sitting here like, why is this guy here?

23:59 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not supposed to be here. [SPEAKER_00]: He's supposed to be an inderian. [SPEAKER_00]: It's supposed to be an indian. [SPEAKER_00]: Why is he here and fell asleep? [SPEAKER_00]: And he said, and so I'm asking him, okay, so what happened? [SPEAKER_00]: He said, well, what happened was I left.

24:08 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I went to my meeting place. [SPEAKER_00]: I said, I got to be there, so I showed up. [SPEAKER_00]: And low and behold, the man is there waiting for me. [SPEAKER_00]: So he was surprised to see him. [SPEAKER_00]: And I was surprised to see him too. [SPEAKER_00]: All right, he's impressed to see me.

24:17 [SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised to see him. [SPEAKER_00]: So I took his soul. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you think about, look at the word, the wording that we use, in that, that we be long to Allah Subhanahu al-Tan. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, inna ilayhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, is what?

24:41 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not, not a jha, it's not, we are returning to Him. [SPEAKER_00]: O'ajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, rhajhi, it's like, it's isn't faryl, the doer. [SPEAKER_00]: As a new, are currently doing this action. [SPEAKER_00]: What is that action you're doing? [SPEAKER_00]: At this very moment, you are returning to Allah Subhanahu al-Tan.

24:53 [SPEAKER_00]: What's amazing is we often say this win. [SPEAKER_00]: When we hear news of somebody passed away. [SPEAKER_00]: We don't say what? [SPEAKER_00]: We don't say what? [SPEAKER_00]: We don't say what? [SPEAKER_00]: Or we don't say what? [SPEAKER_00]: Do we ever say that? [SPEAKER_00]: This man used to be long to Allah and now he's already with Allah.

25:09 [SPEAKER_00]: Do we say that? [SPEAKER_00]: No, we say we belong to Allah and we're going back to Allah. [SPEAKER_00]: As a reminder to ourselves that this guy he's already done. [SPEAKER_00]: He's already with Allah, so we're going to be with Allah just like he is right now. [SPEAKER_00]: At the very moment we have to remind ourselves.

25:26 [SPEAKER_00]: What are some of the signs and symptoms that a person might have some in-typathy towards death isn't they're not very excited to leave this world? [SPEAKER_00]: A person is kind of dreading that fact. [SPEAKER_00]: And again, a person's perspective on death can be multifold, but I'll give you some of them.

25:39 [SPEAKER_00]: Number one, a person might despise death. [SPEAKER_00]: It might hate the idea of the concept of death, right? [SPEAKER_00]: I think they don't even want to talk of it, they don't want to discuss it. [SPEAKER_00]: They genuinely get mad and upset that I have to leave this world that I have built for myself.

25:53 [SPEAKER_00]: that I've built so many luxuries that build the agenda for myself from this world, and I have to leave it, they hate the idea of the concept of death. [SPEAKER_00]: Another is a person dreads it. [SPEAKER_00]: That person is just very, very afraid of it. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't even want to think about it.

26:05 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't even want to hear about it. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't talk to, I don't want to hear, I don't want to think about it. [SPEAKER_00]: I've had people react like this before, if you mentioned death thing, I don't want to talk about it. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay? [SPEAKER_00]: Well, can I say, I mean, I can't force it upon you.

26:16 [SPEAKER_00]: So a person despises it, or they dread it, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Or that person denies it. [SPEAKER_00]: There are plenty of people who deny death, right? [SPEAKER_00]: For them, it's like, no, no, no, I'm gonna beat death. [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll lie there, people, oh, I'm here today. [SPEAKER_00]: This is your homework.

26:29 [SPEAKER_00]: You go home, you just go ahead and read about these people. [SPEAKER_00]: And who genuinely think that I'm gonna beat death, I'm gonna escape death one day. [SPEAKER_00]: And at the time we'll come when I won't have to die. [SPEAKER_00]: Why, why would I think about it, man? [SPEAKER_00]: Who wants to live forever?

26:43 [SPEAKER_00]: Especially in this world, in this life. [SPEAKER_00]: Any single person that you ask, who any of these people you ask about the ones who want to live forever, [SPEAKER_00]: ask them like is your life like amazing like do you live like paradise on earth right now is like having on earth for you know it's not.

26:57 [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee you he gets headaches. [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee he has bad days. [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee you as time when people you know make them upset or angry. [SPEAKER_00]: Garen to you there are times when you know he feels nauseous and sick and he can't eat. [SPEAKER_00]: He has sleepless nights.

27:11 [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee he dreads the waking up sometimes in the morning, or he can't sleep sometimes at night. [SPEAKER_00]: Is that a life you want to go through forever, a devil, and ever, and ever? [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a miserable existence, isn't it? [SPEAKER_00]: So who wants to live forever?

27:22 [SPEAKER_00]: Which person and their right mind would want to live forever? [SPEAKER_00]: So what is really driving these people who say that I want to live forever, or we can't live forever? [SPEAKER_00]: They're afraid of what's on the other side. [SPEAKER_00]: That's why they are genuinely, truly afraid of what's on the other side.

27:40 [SPEAKER_00]: One of two options. [SPEAKER_00]: Number one, there's nothing on the other side. [SPEAKER_00]: And they're terrified of that concept. [SPEAKER_00]: So they want to do whatever they can right now. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't want the idea that I won't be any more. [SPEAKER_00]: Or the second option is probably even scarier for them that there is something on the other side.

27:55 [SPEAKER_00]: And what's on the other side is not going to be good for me. [SPEAKER_00]: So because of that, those people would rather go through suffering in this life forever than face what's waiting for them in the year after. [SPEAKER_00]: That's Karahia to the motive. [SPEAKER_00]: So when we talk about the science and symptoms, the person has a strong aversion to death, such that it makes them feel anxious.

28:11 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you a person that, if somebody mentions death to you, it makes you very anxious, you're like, how do I wanna talk about that right now? [SPEAKER_00]: I don't wanna hear about it. [SPEAKER_00]: Is that an unnerve you? [SPEAKER_00]: Is it something that if you feel death is mentioned, you consider a topic that is morbid, we shouldn't discuss this, don't talk about this.

28:27 [SPEAKER_00]: Growing up, I used to experience this all the time. [SPEAKER_00]: My parents would be like, no, no, don't talk about it. [SPEAKER_00]: As my parents got older, now all they want to do is talk about like, listen, we're going to die one day. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, no, now you guys want to talk about this?

28:38 [SPEAKER_00]: When I was a kid, you were like, no, we shouldn't even mention death. [SPEAKER_00]: And now all they do is just talk about, listen, you have to prepare for us leaving one day. [SPEAKER_00]: So, but are we those people who are like, afraid to talk about it? [SPEAKER_00]: or a person does not accept the reality of life after death.

28:51 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't even want to think about that concept that there is an entire eternity waiting for me here in the year after. [SPEAKER_00]: Or as a person clutching and grasping at the past, I think you mentioned something last week, I think you and somebody you guys said, what? [SPEAKER_00]: We're living in the past.

29:06 [SPEAKER_00]: Man, we are living in the past. [SPEAKER_00]: So if you open up your photo album right here on your phone, people have thousands and thousands of pictures. [SPEAKER_00]: videos. [SPEAKER_00]: All this when we went here, we did this, we did this, and they sit there and they look at them and stare at them and watch them, and they spend hours and hours doing this.

29:24 [SPEAKER_00]: People just live in their photo albums, and they live in the past. [SPEAKER_00]: You know what this in the past? [SPEAKER_00]: Shape on, listen the past. [SPEAKER_00]: Seriously, he's not one who looks forward to the future. [SPEAKER_00]: As believers, we look forward to the future. [SPEAKER_00]: We don't stay hung up on what happened in the past, the good and the bad from it.

29:38 [SPEAKER_00]: You move on with your life. [SPEAKER_00]: What's in the past is there, it's gone. [SPEAKER_00]: It's already said and done. [SPEAKER_00]: We are people that we look forward to what's waiting for us. [SPEAKER_00]: What al-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L-A'L- [SPEAKER_00]: Another thing is that memories of the people who have passed away, they reduce us to tears and we just think like, oh my God, I miss them so much, isn't that?

30:01 [SPEAKER_00]: But not the idea that I can't wait to meet them again. [SPEAKER_00]: I've interacted with people like that. [SPEAKER_00]: I've told them like, it's okay, in Charlotte, you're gonna be with them in the future. [SPEAKER_00]: They're like, I don't care. [SPEAKER_00]: I said, oh, you're gonna see them in the future.

30:12 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care, I don't want that. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, like I don't care, I don't want that. [SPEAKER_00]: I want them now, I want them here right now. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what's waiting for you in the year after is better? [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be with him, re-united in Janda.

30:23 [SPEAKER_00]: And they legitimately told me that, I guess, a Muslims. [SPEAKER_00]: That's a problem. [SPEAKER_00]: That's where the Prophet of Allah's awesome is referring to. [SPEAKER_00]: At this type of dislike that we have, shouldn't you be happy in throld at the idea that I will be with them eternally in the year after?

30:37 [SPEAKER_00]: A person does, you know, another thing is that a person, they don't even consider like the hereafter to have any serious importance, any significance to them, such that they do not prepare for it. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to think to yourself, I have to think for myself, that whatever time that you're spending above the ground is going to be a fraction of the time that you spend inside of the ground.

30:55 [SPEAKER_00]: How much are you preparing for that home, inside, over the home that you are preparing for over? [SPEAKER_00]: That's always a shot on the poets they say what? [SPEAKER_00]: That the only house that you have waiting for you is what you have built. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the house. [SPEAKER_00]: That's your grave is your house.

31:12 [SPEAKER_00]: And our scholars, some of them, they say that if you win an idea of what your grave is going to be like, look at what your house is like right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Is your house filled with what? [SPEAKER_00]: Music, is it filled with argumentation? [SPEAKER_00]: Is it filled with discomfort and anxiety?

31:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it filled that as soon as you walk into the house, you're like, man, trying to get out of here? [SPEAKER_00]: Or you feel uncomfortable every time you're in the home? [SPEAKER_00]: Is it a discomfort, uncomfortable experience, a disconcerting experience when you're at home? [SPEAKER_00]: That's the sign of what's going to be inside of the grave.

31:37 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a scary thing if you think about it, but if it's like, I can't wait to go home. [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like peace, I feel happy, I'm relaxed, I'm calm. [SPEAKER_00]: My house smells nice, my house looks nice, it's clean. [SPEAKER_00]: We play a quote on in my house, we re-sell out in my house.

31:49 [SPEAKER_00]: My family members, we fast, and we pray together. [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the house that you have? [SPEAKER_00]: If that is, that's what's going to be waiting for you in the grave. [SPEAKER_00]: It's up to you to determine what's going to be waiting for you in the hereafter. [SPEAKER_00]: And so these are some of the signs of a person who is, you know, basically like, a person doesn't even want to think about the idea that I'm going to have to leave what I have built here.

32:08 [SPEAKER_00]: So what are some treatments for it? [SPEAKER_00]: Number one is an academic treatment, which is what? [SPEAKER_00]: Where you study and you learn, and you basically brush up on the reality of death itself. [SPEAKER_00]: A person has to remind themselves that this is an inevitable reality.

32:21 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't escape, no one's ever going to be able to escape it. [SPEAKER_00]: When a person realizes that concept and they genuinely sincerely accept the mortality of each and every human being, then it will really have a remarkable shift in the way they live their life. [SPEAKER_00]: The way they treat other people and the way that they perceive even problems and difficulties in their life will change dramatically.

32:42 [SPEAKER_00]: Change dramatically. [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ was not rude, disrespectful, harsh with people, because he knew that those people can leave him at any moment, or he could leave them at any moment. [SPEAKER_00]: So imagine the last interaction you have with someone is a harsh one, a difficult one.

32:56 [SPEAKER_00]: Where you were harsh with them, and that you were tough with them, and you weren't forgiving and merciful, and you were like, well, bury the hash it later. [SPEAKER_00]: And the only time you'll bury it is on the date of a judgment. [SPEAKER_00]: The prophet's also gonna even told us about this.

33:07 [SPEAKER_00]: He said that if you have problems with someone resolved them now, you do not want to stand in front of a loss of half an end and resolve your problems in the court of a lot. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, do you want to go to court right now? [SPEAKER_00]: Is anyone who's like, let's go, I'm going to take Yasser to court.

33:20 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait. [SPEAKER_00]: I have a court appointment with Yasser. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get a lawyer. [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to get a lawyer. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyone of us looks forward to that. [SPEAKER_00]: We dread that idea. [SPEAKER_00]: If you dislike the idea of going to court right now to resolve a conflict between two people, imagine doing that in front of all of the creation of a lost mother on the day of judgment.

33:35 [SPEAKER_00]: And what you have to lose on that day is far more significant. [SPEAKER_00]: So a person needs to accept and realize that, you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: I might leave, or this person might leave before I see them again. [SPEAKER_00]: How am I going to leave this interaction with them? [SPEAKER_00]: What's my condition going to be with them?

33:49 [SPEAKER_00]: Be it my spouse, be it my children, be it my friends and colleagues? [SPEAKER_00]: How is it going to be my last conversation with that person? [SPEAKER_00]: A person they understand that for the believer? [SPEAKER_00]: Death is a gift, and it is. [SPEAKER_00]: Because Alas Maratata is giving us what?

34:03 [SPEAKER_00]: He's giving us a rest from the worldly toil of this life. [SPEAKER_00]: The hardship and difficulty of this life, you will finally feel it when you go inside of the grave. [SPEAKER_00]: I was talking to Brother Toddic and he was telling me, we went to live for more just last week, right, for a funeral.

34:16 [SPEAKER_00]: And he said that, he's like, I feel like a piece when I come here, and he said that a person, a young boy, he asked his father, he said, Dad, when do we finally get to rest? [SPEAKER_00]: What time can we rest? [SPEAKER_00]: It's a son when we go inside of the ground. [SPEAKER_00]: As the only time you'll truly ever be at rest, is when somebody lowers you into that ground.

34:32 [SPEAKER_00]: The person they realize, had these the purpose also in remote, the doff of the movement. [SPEAKER_00]: Death is a gift from Allah, so cannot that it to the believers. [SPEAKER_00]: That's why we say that this world is a prison for the believer, and it is gender for the disbeliever. [SPEAKER_00]: And the opposite is also a true.

34:45 [SPEAKER_00]: That for us, the he or after is a gender, is a garden, and for them is a prison. [SPEAKER_00]: Why because in a prison you're not allowed to do whatever you want to do. [SPEAKER_00]: You're constrained, you're limited, you're restricted to only what is permitted for you. [SPEAKER_00]: So that's the truth for all of us.

34:58 [SPEAKER_00]: As believers were restricted, [SPEAKER_00]: We are limited to what a lost one that is permitted for us, but in the year after, there's only limitations. [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead and enjoy. [SPEAKER_00]: Do whatever you want, and there's no restrictions, and it's eternal happiness and bliss.

35:10 [SPEAKER_00]: It's the opposite for the disbeliever, and in this life they can do whatever they want to do. [SPEAKER_00]: But in the year after what happens to them, they can't do anything. [SPEAKER_00]: And they will call out to a lost path on a from the pits of chandna. [SPEAKER_00]: They will call out.

35:23 [SPEAKER_00]: And they'll say, Allah send us back. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say that. [SPEAKER_00]: We will do good deeds. [SPEAKER_00]: The opposite of what we use to do. [SPEAKER_00]: And so it will be said to them, what? [SPEAKER_00]: I want them to know, I want them to know, I want them to know, I want them to know.

35:36 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a good thing that they want them to know. [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: Allah says, I will say that I didn't give you life enough of a life that the ones who wanted to pay attention and realize that I'm going to have to die one day. [SPEAKER_00]: That person paid attention.

35:49 [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: Anyone know who Manfaluti is? [SPEAKER_00]: It's probably Manfaluti. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyone else, Manfaluti is Manfaluti? [SPEAKER_00]: You guys know, anyway, it's very good author, right, writer, highly recommend reading someone. [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to improve your Arabic, that's the guy to go to.

36:03 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I have his, I'm out of camera, and here's an essay, it's an amazing essay. [SPEAKER_00]: It's called a shout out to Lebella, the white hair. [SPEAKER_00]: And he talks about it's like maybe a couple pages and he says that he woke up one morning and he goes to the mirror, he goes to the bathroom, he looks in the mirror and he sees the first ever white hair he's ever gotten.

36:21 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he has a dialogue with that white hair, one on one. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, where are, where did you come from? [SPEAKER_00]: who are you? [SPEAKER_00]: Why are you here? [SPEAKER_00]: That you, this piece of light in this darkness of my head, and he has a whole conversation with this little one white strand of hair that he has, and he says, who sent you?

36:38 [SPEAKER_00]: He said, where you sent us a Werner? [SPEAKER_00]: Where you sent us a Werner from my Lord, that my time is coming to an end. [SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing essay. [SPEAKER_00]: And you think about, you know sometimes I take my hat off, people are like, man, you got a lot of white hair, I'm like, yeah, you're telling me.

36:51 [SPEAKER_00]: You're telling me, I already know, man. [SPEAKER_00]: I lost my mother as going to say, yeah, each and every one of these is a warner for us. [SPEAKER_00]: For the sisters, if you have some back pain, or you're like, where does back pain come from, man? [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, you wake up with a cold for no reason.

37:02 [SPEAKER_00]: You're like, what? [SPEAKER_00]: You just, you know, you can stand up the wrong way. [SPEAKER_00]: And then you know, you can't sleep for two weeks. [SPEAKER_00]: You're like, whatever, you're like, oh, what's going on? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's your nithy to come in mass. [SPEAKER_00]: Your warner coming to each and every one of us.

37:16 [SPEAKER_00]: Telling us that our time is coming. [SPEAKER_00]: And so a person, again, this is an academic treatment. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's not that what Simon told us that you should remember, death is often as possible. [SPEAKER_00]: This is the destroyer of your pleasures. [SPEAKER_00]: But again, that seems like a morbid thing thinking about, why would I want to think about death when I'm enjoying the time that I have with my family, enjoying the time with my friends?

37:36 [SPEAKER_00]: When I'm eating good food, why would I want to think about death? [SPEAKER_00]: Because when a person realizes that it's going to come to an end, they will appreciate what they have even more. [SPEAKER_00]: You will appreciate the time that you have with your spouse, with your children, with your friends, when you're having good food, when you're having fun, when you're in a good mood, you will appreciate that time even more when you realize that this is going to come to an end one day.

37:57 [SPEAKER_00]: So let me make the most of it while I still can. [SPEAKER_00]: She'll make you happy. [SPEAKER_00]: So the opposite is also true, right? [SPEAKER_00]: that a person realizes that if this is how much I get to enjoy right now I wanted to continue forever. [SPEAKER_00]: I want to have that enjoyment, I want to have that bliss and that pleasure forever with the same people.

38:13 [SPEAKER_00]: And I can only do that if we end up in John and I together. [SPEAKER_00]: So they will change your priorities. [SPEAKER_00]: As much as you enjoy the time that you have with your friends and your family and whoever else it is, it will change your priorities that I don't want to just have this fun with them right now.

38:26 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to have it with them in the year after eternally. [SPEAKER_00]: And so then you will think that you know what I need to take my life in this world much more seriously. [SPEAKER_00]: I need to take my Dean more seriously. [SPEAKER_00]: And I need to make sure they take their Dean more seriously.

38:38 [SPEAKER_00]: I need to make sure that, you know what, it's crawling out of the dopamine hole. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we got to do. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, what do we experience today? [SPEAKER_00]: We experience pleasure first because of our choices because we want that quick dopamine shot. [SPEAKER_00]: We want that little bit of serotonin and happiness right away.

38:53 [SPEAKER_00]: And then we have to suffer for the next four, five, six, eight hours, right? [SPEAKER_00]: But the opposite is also a true. [SPEAKER_00]: That a person goes through some suffering and hardship and pain right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Waking up for failure is not fun. [SPEAKER_00]: Waking up early in the morning for failure is not fun.

39:05 [SPEAKER_00]: Coming, coming home after a long day of work and a long gauge, tired, you're in traffic for two hours, you come home and you got to pray your mouth that I've got to pray your isha. [SPEAKER_00]: You got to do all that and then you have to sleep your leg off or get that man. [SPEAKER_00]: That's not a fun.

39:16 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not a fun, but you do it anyways. [SPEAKER_00]: You go through the pain, you go through the suffering because you know that the pleasure that comes after is worth it. [SPEAKER_00]: It's worth it. [SPEAKER_00]: So in the same way, it's not fun to go to the gym. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, is it fun where you're like, you know, tearing those muscle fibers?

39:30 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not fun. [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be sore. [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be aching after drink that nasty protein shake. [SPEAKER_00]: But afterwards, you feel good. [SPEAKER_00]: You're like, yeah, I was worth it. [SPEAKER_00]: It's happy, I'm going to be worth it after. [SPEAKER_00]: It's fun to just sit on your couch, watch Netflix for three hours and eat hot cheetos.

39:43 [SPEAKER_00]: It's fun. [SPEAKER_00]: You're chilling. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, your brain, your body's being flooded with dopamine and serotonin. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't get up, you can't get it, force yourself to get out of the couch, out of bed. [SPEAKER_00]: You're rotting away in bed, it's fun, it's easy, but then afterwards you feel so bad, you feel terrible.

40:00 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll get yourself in the mirror and you feel disgusting, like what is wrong with me? [SPEAKER_00]: For that temporary pleasure, you end up in suffering for so long, but the opus is also a true. [SPEAKER_00]: For a temporary short amount of struggle and difficulty, you'll have eternal pleasure and happiness, and it'll be worth it in the year after.

40:15 [SPEAKER_00]: So a person reminds himself of death. [SPEAKER_00]: The person pursues as many good deeds as possible. [SPEAKER_00]: And then finally, a person takes account of themselves. [SPEAKER_00]: Haasibu and Fusukum Khabdan to Haasibu. [SPEAKER_00]: Take account of yourself before somebody comes and takes account of you.

40:29 [SPEAKER_00]: Take account of yourself before someone comes and does that. [SPEAKER_00]: Cause just like, you know, I mean, we know, man, that Hadith are there. [SPEAKER_00]: That last month I says, your scroll of diesel will be opened up and every one of those diesel will be right out and you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you did this, you got to answer for each and everything.

40:44 [SPEAKER_00]: You're like, okay, how am I going to answer my Lord? [SPEAKER_00]: What am I going to say? [SPEAKER_00]: If a lot asks me right now how I spent my last $500, how am I going to think about it right now? [SPEAKER_00]: You and I should all of us think about it. [SPEAKER_00]: The last $500 total that you have spent from the last purchase, all the way up until you hit 500 bucks.

41:01 [SPEAKER_00]: If I were to ask you, how did you spend all that? [SPEAKER_00]: You would have to open up your phone. [SPEAKER_00]: You would have to go through your bank statements to see how I spent that money. [SPEAKER_00]: And then you'd be like, oh, then I say, why do you spend this money here, man?

41:11 [SPEAKER_00]: You could ask me right now, you're like, but, oh, why are you going and buying a bulb with a seven-bugs, dude? [SPEAKER_00]: What, why do you need to spend seven dollars on bulb? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you serious? [SPEAKER_00]: Like, how did you even taste? [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, man, I don't know, all right?

41:19 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, all right. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, times are tough, you know? [SPEAKER_00]: We're a K-shaped recovery for the economy right now. [SPEAKER_00]: So I should be saving that money, you know? [SPEAKER_00]: So if I'm having trouble answering you for how I spent $7, how are we going to answer a loss from our number of how we spent 70 years of our life?

41:34 [SPEAKER_00]: when we're asked about every single moment. [SPEAKER_00]: Hasebu and Fusokam Khabda and Tuhasebu take account of yourself. [SPEAKER_00]: Every single day you should ask yourself, how did I spend my day? [SPEAKER_00]: And I made mention of this previously, and I think maybe in the narrative series to the use of.

41:48 [SPEAKER_00]: I said that, you know, like we sit there and we think, okay, 2025, come to a close. [SPEAKER_00]: Hamdala, here's how much I progressed in my dean. [SPEAKER_00]: I started in my dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: Hamdala, I saved this much money. [SPEAKER_00]: I got this job, I got this degree, I got married, I did Hamdala fantastic, great.

42:02 [SPEAKER_00]: All the accomplishments for our, [SPEAKER_00]: our dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: How much should we accomplish in our dean? [SPEAKER_00]: Can you say that you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 2024 when it ended, I had this much put on memorized. [SPEAKER_00]: 2025 ended and now I have less put on memorized.

42:16 [SPEAKER_00]: I memorized a couple of songs in their place instead. [SPEAKER_00]: I said, memory loss, I lost some stuff instead. [SPEAKER_00]: I was more consistent going to the mission in 2024 than I was in 2025. [SPEAKER_00]: People have said to me and I say this myself and I guarantee you some of you had said it too.

42:31 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, Ramadan 2015? [SPEAKER_00]: Best Ramadan in my life. [SPEAKER_00]: That's a sad reality. [SPEAKER_00]: Why is that a sad reality? [SPEAKER_00]: Because it means that every Ramadan since it has been on a decline. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been of a poor quality. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been of a less quality.

42:45 [SPEAKER_00]: Would you be happy with that if you're like, amen, the last house I lived in was the best house now and then I downgraded on purpose and I live in this little stir right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Was you like, you know, I had a great job. [SPEAKER_00]: I quit that job and I took a much worse job.

42:56 [SPEAKER_00]: It's worse for my mental health, worse hours, and worse pain. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so happy with it. [SPEAKER_00]: No, you'd be like, forget that, man. [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone, no one here would accept mediocrity for their, their dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: But for some reason, we accept mediocrity for our dean.

43:09 [SPEAKER_00]: We're okay with just the average. [SPEAKER_00]: We're okay with I've known 10 solos of the Quran for the past 20 years and I'm okay with knowing that for the rest of my life. [SPEAKER_00]: As all right, I'm telling you okay, no problem. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be okay with getting the exact same pay you're getting for the rest of your life?

43:23 [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: Forget that. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna jump jobs and go to another one in a couple of years. [SPEAKER_00]: Make sure I get a raise. [SPEAKER_00]: Make sure I get a better title. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you okay with the house living in? [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, I'm gonna better house a bigger house.

43:35 [SPEAKER_00]: No, I wanna upgrade. [SPEAKER_00]: I wanna renovate my house. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you okay with this cart? [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, not at all. [SPEAKER_00]: So when it comes to the dunya, we wanna make sure that we're always excelling and pushing ourselves next step, next level upgrade. [SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to the dean for some reason, we've been stuck in stagnant for the past 10 years.

43:51 [SPEAKER_00]: Each of us, I'm not any, this class is more for me than it is for you guys. [SPEAKER_00]: I told you this, remember, when you first started, but the topic was like, you know, he's like, what are you gonna teach this class? [SPEAKER_00]: Ensure that what you do is, you teach a class is gonna be beneficial to you, I'm like, okay, I'm being selfish, I'm doing this for myself.

44:07 [SPEAKER_00]: So all of this is for us. [SPEAKER_00]: All of it is for us. [SPEAKER_00]: Finally, the only time you can have an exception for when you can be like, I don't think I'm ready for death. [SPEAKER_00]: The only exception to this is when. [SPEAKER_00]: Is when a person is afraid of meeting a lot of Sahanatha in the condition they are in.

44:24 [SPEAKER_00]: Is the only time when you're like, no, no, I'm not ready. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not ready. [SPEAKER_00]: Why? [SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm afraid, unless Sahanatha is going to hold me accountable for this, how can I face my Lord? [SPEAKER_00]: Sahanatha. [SPEAKER_00]: How can I face the prophets on the one that he was sending?

44:35 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if NVIDIA started to listen, I was to walk through the door at your home. [SPEAKER_00]: It just comes in knocks on your door. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be eager, glad? [SPEAKER_00]: Let me introduce you. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, messenger of all, please come in. [SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be happy, you know, thrilled for the province Austin to walk into your house?

44:49 [SPEAKER_00]: Or are you going to say, give me five minutes? [SPEAKER_00]: And you're going to make the province Austin and wait outside of the door for five minutes. [SPEAKER_00]: While you hurry up and clean up things. [SPEAKER_00]: inside of your house. [SPEAKER_00]: You make sure you tell your family dress properly.

45:01 [SPEAKER_00]: You make sure, oh, let's take down these things in the house. [SPEAKER_00]: I shouldn't be there. [SPEAKER_00]: He said, oh, you know, let's turn off this stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: We shouldn't be listening or watching any of this stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me clean up, you know, my browser history on my phone on my laptop.

45:10 [SPEAKER_00]: Before the problem is off, I'm walks into my house. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me get rid of these foods that are here. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me hide those bottles. [SPEAKER_00]: Is that what we're going to say to the profit of a lost house? [SPEAKER_00]: And wait outside my house for five minutes. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me clean up everything and then you come inside.

45:20 [SPEAKER_00]: Because when the angel of death comes knocking, he doesn't ask permission. [SPEAKER_00]: Because he's going to come in whether you like it or not. [SPEAKER_00]: So the only time when you can be like, I don't know if I'm ready, to meet a lost one of the days because you're afraid. [SPEAKER_00]: How is it like an oatmeal countable for this?

45:34 [SPEAKER_00]: What am I going to say? [SPEAKER_00]: What am I going to do? [SPEAKER_00]: But it's very easy, brothers, sisters, it's very, very easy. [SPEAKER_00]: I just require it's one sincere toe but to a lost pound on it, that's it. [SPEAKER_00]: One sincere toe, but changing all these other things, all these resolutions you have, like Michelle, we probably made grandiose resolutions for 2026.

45:49 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to do this, this, this is great, but it requires a lot of hard work. [SPEAKER_00]: But to change your life is actually very easy. [SPEAKER_00]: Since you're told with what Allah's rather than a one time, and Allah's always told with change your heart, that's it. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you think about it, the good deeds that you are doing now, the good habits that you have now.

46:08 [SPEAKER_00]: You just started at one point, didn't you? [SPEAKER_00]: One day, you decided I'm gonna do this. [SPEAKER_00]: And then you started, and Allah's one that I give you to a feet, and you're doing it up until today. [SPEAKER_00]: So whatever good deeds that you're doing in your life today, whether it's praying consistently, coming to the message, fasting, giving charity, doing this, this is learning about doing all these things, treating other people better, and whatever bad deeds that you stopped, one day you decide I'm gonna stop.

46:30 [SPEAKER_00]: Feel swearing, if it was drinking something, it's eating something, looking at something, going somewhere, whatever it was, one day you decide I'm not gonna do this anymore. [SPEAKER_00]: And from then on, you never did it again. [SPEAKER_00]: I lost one that I gave you, don't think to do it.

46:42 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, my is that easy. [SPEAKER_00]: If you just look at it and think about it in that way, it's that easy. [SPEAKER_00]: You can do it. [SPEAKER_00]: You've broken all of those bad habits and all of those bad deeds and you've built so many good deeds. [SPEAKER_00]: So what makes you think that you know what I can't be a better version of myself?

46:56 [SPEAKER_00]: To the point where I will be excited and glad to meet Allah SubhanAllah. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the point. [SPEAKER_00]: That's where we want to get to. [SPEAKER_00]: Make that resolution today. [SPEAKER_00]: Resolution for 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: is what? [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be the best version of myself.

47:11 [SPEAKER_00]: And every year that's your resolution, every day that's your resolution. [SPEAKER_00]: The only person you when I should be competing with is home. [SPEAKER_00]: The person that we were yesterday. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't look around to other people. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't compete with one another.

47:21 [SPEAKER_00]: Compete with the person that you were yesterday. [SPEAKER_00]: Think to yourself, how can I be a better version of myself today? [SPEAKER_00]: Because a day will come when it will be your last day on this earth. [SPEAKER_00]: And you want that day to be the day where you were the best version of yourself.

47:35 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us still faith to do that. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us happiness. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us happiness. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us happiness. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us happiness. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah SWT give us happiness.
