this is
aah and like many other short suras its
meaning is
profound what Allah subhana tala is
saying to us through this Surah is a
heavy
warning for how long are you going to be
busy in your heads in your
minds thinking of your chasing the
material Goods even when we came to this
janaza Brothers where a majority of us
guilty thinking
how what time will this finish what time
do I have to be at this place and that
place we don't think of our own death
here and now we came to the Friday
prayer thinking when is it going to
finish when am I going to leave it when
is going to happen
on how often do Muslims come to the jum
knowing today might be the day of
judgment today might be the day the
clouds will come and Allah will call but
we don't think that we think it will be
delayed and there will be respite
further and further but he says
for how long will you chase these
worldly things with each other competing
with one
another until you visit the grave and
most they say you could consider it like
this today we came we visit the grave of
this beautiful brother may Allah give
him Jenna and ease we came to visit and
we will leave and go home unfortunately
that's not what the verse is talking
about when Allah
says until you visit your grave he means
your death but he calls it visit because
you will not stay in the grave forever
it's temporary you'll be called out from
the grave you won't stay there and in
another from and others they say that
Allah is threatening you and I it is a
threat for how long is the going to keep
you away from me in your mind in your
heart wait till I get you in your
grave this verse is a heavy verse for
you and I to reflect upon that is Allah
going to get us in our grave or are we
going to go to Allah in our grave as the
she mentioned are we going to him
happily or are we going to him with with
with with with with with withdrawal
symptoms with fears so Allah subhana wa
tala says to
us get your
attention all the things of the D you
chase useless will it be when you come
here it will not benefit you don't bring
me the good and remember this Surah
Brothers is speaking about Halal things
we're not talking about har the Surah is
talking about Halal chasing trying to
get married chasing trying to get a
bigger house chasing trying to get
better dun more more children Etc it's
talking about
things useless will those things
be don't take my word for it you'll find
out
yourself don't take my word for it
brothers that's what Allah is saying you
don't have to believe me although Allah
is
he speaks truth but you don't have to
believe me you will know yourself you
will come to
know again why does Allah repeat himself
except that it's
crucial know your is
useless again he says you will
know it is something of a knowledge of a
certain knowledge if only you had it
Brothers this is the reality why do we
get distracted even at a janaza D jokes
D comments I hear them even at a janaza
because we think that man is dead let's
take him let's go and move on this was
not the purpose of the janaza from the
Sun of the Prophet sallallah Ali
wasallam the janaza the man is gone his
time is up no more no more rewards
nothing except through his children no
more nothing for him to do here his time
is up the purpose of the janaza is for
you and me not for him his time is gone
he is going to do his business now the
janaza is for you to wake up that you
are going to end up in this mud
someone's going to put you and I in it
right now you carried him sooner or
later someone's going to carry you and I
if only you had the certain knowledge of
the Resurrection if you believed with Y
and it's left blank by Allah subhana wa
tala as if to say if you didn't know you
would change your life you would be
different you wouldn't stay this way and
you wouldn't remain this way and the MU
they say that the balance here is
because he says and then he says meaning
that the cfir will know and then the
Muslim will know another says is the
Angel of Death reaches you you will
definitely know and another says that
the second Ayah is when you go into the
grave and to question you then you will
know another is is that when you go into
the grave you will know and the other
the second a is when you come out of the
Grave you will
know from the eye or the heart you will
know the
fire you will know the fire whether you
like it or not you will know it one way
or another either you will know it from
a distance protected or you will know it
seeing it knowing you are going to
it again don't take my word for it you
will eventually see it with your eyes
again the MU they say the first Ayah is
when you hear the fire and the second
Ayah is when you are in it the Muslims
they hear it and they are in it another
says is that the first Ayah is the cfir
will go in and the second ayy the Muslim
too will go in to be purified for what
he did and finally the last of is that
the cfir will go in and the Muslim will
be grateful in being safeguarded from it
protected from
it this is what you need to take away
with you from this grave that when you
reach Allah on that day on that platform
he will ask you about every single he
gave you plural and the companions were
worried they wanted to know what what so
they said what's the smallest thing I
should worry about what's the smallest
Allah has given me and he said the
smallest blessing Allah
subhah has given you
is that Breath You Take that's the
smallest blessing he will ask you and
the Hadith that comes to mind to
conclude is once one of the sahaba they
come out Abu bakik hungry comes out into
the night looking for food and he sees
the prophet he too came out of his house
and this is Omar he too came out of his
house and they had Stones tied to their
belly suffering burning inside and when
they showed the prophet their Stone he
pulled his up and he showed them two he
was suffering twice as much as his um
always and one other companion saw them
and they said let's go to his house and
he was they were invited and the man
went in and told his wife said offer
them everything what do we have they had
some ripe dates some unripe dates some
bread some milk and they had a goat that
couldn't produce milk so they
slaughtered everything they had and gave
it sacrifice for they wept thinking our
Prophet is hungry feed him and as soon
as the food was prepared Brothers took
meat put it in his bread when you are
fasting for a day they suffered for many
one day do you pass the food on or do
you take the first bite he suffered so
much but yet he didn't take the first
bite he said quick get this home for fa
has not seen the likes of this for
days showing how much he felt for his
daughter that she suffered take this to
her and then they ate and when they ate
just enough for the stomach to get a bit
comfortable just enough to come to his
senses from the pain of hunger he
immediately
remembered Allah will ask us about this
whereas you and I after we fast we eat
we say alhamdulillah I did a good e for
Allah so he fed me we have a different
Persona a different approach to
everything as the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam we should try our best
may Allah guide us to his Sunnah and
make us firm upon his Sunnah and protect
us from all Innovations and all of the
the that man creates guide us only to
the beauty of his sunah inshallah seek
out the religion Brothers don't just
rely on people like me to come and and
teach little things this is not
knowledge real knowledge is much deeper
you have to believe in yourselves that
you too can learn and bring that
knowledge and that Jenna to your house
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said you walk through the Gardens of the
dya taking take from The Gardens of
Jenna as well and they said where are
these Gardens he said they are the
circles of remembrance where the people
gather to remember Allah and they speak
about the knowledge so I encourage you
all attend Gatherings and circles and
and houndo these brothers have arranged
the Le lecture in Cranford Community
College we've been doing it for the past
7 years every Friday 7:30 if you don't
know about it you should attend or make
your own other circles but bring
yourselves Brothers to account before
account is taken for you
