First Night in the Grave
A person who goes down into their grave after the soul has gone and they are in their grave imagine what will be the condition of an individual there .
we believe that there is something known as the total couple you know the grave being made narrow how is it going to be made narrow Allah knows but we believe it’s going to happen because it’s there the prophetess Allah makes explained it to us that that.
you know tightening oh the narrowing of that grave what will happen and how the person will be tested so much and how they will be questioned in that grave .
it’s the truth the angels will come and they will seat the individual how it will happen Allah knows best but the questions are going to be asked by the angels who is Europe who is your Nabi what is your Deen and so on and it’s no good for us to say well I know the answers every day in the morning I used to say 20 times that’s not good enough .
if you were following you will be able to answer and if you are not following you won’t be able to answer so here is the movement the one who was believing he will answer just like that and he will be given a good resting place you know a little perhaps breeze of heaven will be released for that person because of the goodness that the person engaged in in his life and the other person .
the evil person who engaged in bed and did not turn back to allah subhanahu wata’ala he will say or she will say you know what who is Europe who is Jana B what is your Deen and so on oh yeah I heard people saying something and I used to say something as well that’s what sometimes we are guilty of you know how we’ve heard people reading the Quran.
we just read it that’s all we just said the same thing without even thinking what’s the meaning of it what is it what is this world what is how can I live my entire life without knowing what my maker said what a fool llahu akbar i need to know it because when i die let’s share who told me it’s haram to look at the meaning of the quran .
he is not going to be there with me to say oh Allah I was the one who told us this chap here not to read the meaning what do you think it was you your train your mind Allah gave you you are responsible you are answerable start understanding Allah is plan by reading his book he’s that’s the only book that is valid in existence subhanAllah it will lead you to the sunnah of muhammad sallallaahu Selim but if –
you don’t have that book you don’t know what it’s all about what do you expect how are you going to prepare for the arkarow my brothers and sisters it’s an important message the preparation for the life after death is the most important thing that.
I need to prepare for you know we will all invest our wealth because we want mashallah high-rise building and a little apartment we will go out and get loans in channela hope there a halal each ala but from wherever we get some loans and we want to you know pay back over time because I need to own the house do you know what’s happening and I have seen this in a lot of cases of people who’ve passed away they took out loans they wanted big apartments or homes for their families and themselves before they could pay back .
the loan they were already in need of a palace in the hereafter because they died so what happens to that to that lonely allah subhanahu wa taluses the lady a poor woman has an ax for you ba la who is there who is going to give to allah subhanahu wata’ala so that that loan would be multiplied so many fold Subhan Allah are you ready to do for Allah spend your time for Allah spend your energy for Allah abstain from sin for the sake of Allah you will find its reward multiplied when you need your palace in the Acura it will be there .
you will already be given glad tidings of it from the moment the angels come to take your soul away you’ve been given glad tidings you you now know Subhan Allah you have an idea it’s the angels that have come are angels that I’ve seen the one narration makes mention and it’s Mustafa calais that the angels the person .
who’s dying will see the angels and just the angels and subhanAllah they up to the horizon wherever the person can see they will just see this angel subhanAllah and and the angel will come in white white Hanna what Allah make that day easy for us .
I mean ask Allah to grant us goodness people have died and people who did not that there was a year after already in the hereafter what fools subhanAllah people who did not believe in the hereafter already in the hereafter they’ve gone where are we going prepare for the grave people will come they’ll bury you they’ll carry you like.
I always say they will come a day when the phones will be ringing the messages will be flying people will be tweeting and what’s happening and people will be putting posters and statuses and so on regarding your death the day is coming the day is definitely coming people will phone how many times have you received a phone call and a message someone you knew close to you .
they say in persons gone in they are not your own how what happened sometimes we are shocked shocked well you know what the biggest shock will be if you were just taken without preparation that’s a bigger shock may Allah help us because –
when I go I’m all alone if you look at your children carefully and your parents and your brothers carefully they belong to Allah before they were even connected to you but Allah used you to bring them into existence in order to fulfill the bigger plan that.
he has that’s what it is but otherwise Allah owns your child and you do not do you know that because you have to look after that gift of Allah as a test from Allah in order to earn paradise through the gift of Allah I have a temporary I have a child temporarily known as my child here in this world inshallah .
if I use the temporary opportunity to prepare for heaven I will be getting generous only because of my sacrifice same applies with marriage you are married to someone it’s temporary but you can eternalize it in certain ways if Allah wills subhanAllah for now subhanAllah I need to use this gift of allah that i have by creating her or him in such a way that i own general i prepare for my afterlife it’s a sacrifice it’s not easy and –
we tell people and now we need to tell them more and more because materialism is taking over and we tell people you know what marry big sacrifice a huge sacrifice without sacrifice you won’t achieve anything somehow Allah may allah subhanahu wata’ala help us to sacrifice in a way that he is pleased with us so let’s prepare for the day we are put down when our families will return and what is left the hadeeth speaks of how when a person is you know in the form of a janazah in the form of a dead person being carried who follows this person’s family wealth deeds following this process .
they bury and some things go back and some things stay what goes back the family goes back before you know it your wife is married again subhanAllah you know it reminds me and I must pause for a moment on the lighter note it reminds me of a person .
who was really upset in his marriage and so on and you know they were not happy and so something happened and so you know the relationship began to improve and they were working on it and what-have-you so the man asks his wife if I die will you marry again that’s a question imagine .
you know people make their promises as much as they want but you do not know the circumstances of your spouse say for example you die and your spouse is struggling so much and they need some form of help no one’s coming to help them .
they wouldn’t be wrong to marry again in fact it’s encouraged to marry again subhanAllah but at the same time listen to what the spouse is the woman says when the husband says will you marry again so she says no no so what will you do I’ll just stay with my sister .
okay Wow good answer and a little while later she asked what about you will you marry again he says no so what will you do I’ll also just stay with your sister there are lots of hanamachi Allah grant Aziz may allah subhanahu wa ta’ala blesses may allah subhanahu wata’ala forgive us we ready to make a plan for when our spouse is dying but we haven’t made a plan for when we die have you thought of what .
I’m saying we make a plan we already know if she dies a I’ve got another two three lined up mashallah and we don’t know brother you’re dying before her subhanAllah may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala help us to prepare may Allah help us to prepare really this is something that we need to think about .
so I was saying your deeds are the only things that remain with you otherwise your wealth goes back your children are fighting over it they’ve stopped talking to each other over it they have broken the family into 20 pieces over your wealth ask those whom this has happened to they will confirm yes it’s correct and what has happened they that wealth had you not left it perhaps your family might have been closer bonded then now that you had a lot of wealth.
I know of people who had nothing and after the death the family so close mashallah and I know of people who have had so much that when the person passes away someone is trying to rob this one and the other one is denying that one and this one is claiming his share of inheritance and the other one comes and say that was mine and –
I worked with dad and I did this and it was me and debates go on yes there are exceptions to that there are people who have died mashallah wealthy and even that children mashallah have been happy thereafter but the message here is what you’ve amassed in terms of wealth and what you have had in terms of relatives you’ve had 20 30 50 children trust me who they will go back before you know it they will forget you look we are seated here how many of you know your seventh forefather I don’t know why they call them forefathers one day .
when I was young I used to think the reason why they’re calling forefathers is you can only remember up to four of them after that you can’t remember that’s a forefather you remember your forefathers yes all four of them Allah Allah help us but one wonders it’s a fact you will not remember your father how many of us know seven generations back but-
they were important people you are from their lineage and you don’t even know about them they why you are their family but you they went they left you behind gone the wealth that they had well too late subhanAllah you might have a piece of land somewhere in one of the rural areas of some place you come from that was your ancestral land big deal no one wants you there today may allah subhanahu wa grantors goodness really .
so what happens is the thing that comes with you your deeds your deeds come in the form of people sometimes the hadith has different descriptions that the deeds come in the form of a protection for you that’s your deed that’s your deed what did you do this man this is his zakah this is his Salah beautiful Salah we don’t want the quality that is useless Subhan Allah you know there was a time when we used to think that the quality of items made in China is not good but that’s wrong it depends how much you are ready to pay for an item ask those who have done business there was a time when I.
I didn’t know any better I was corrected by someone who’s Chinese here in this car Subhan Allah corrected me they sent me an email to say hey what you said was insulting it was wrong you cannot say Chinese products are bad and they are not and I guarantee you that it depends on how much you pay and also on Allah acceptance you know sometimes you buy a vehicle very expensive one but it happens to be slightly faulty well that you paid for a lovely car.
the fault that was just a test for you between you and allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala no one planned it for you to have that particular item it was a lost plan the same applies you see how much you’re ready to pay that’s the type of goods you get so if you want to buy a light and the light is one dirham then perhaps it will last for a day two days and then it will go you know I don’t know if you recall the story I told you about the man who only paid one cent for the fans that he had so he bought a whole box of these fans and he tested one his wife tested one and as she held you know that.
the defend that opens up as he held the first fan it broke or his wife held it in it broke the wife held the second one it broke third one it broke so the wife calls him and says hey relax you bought this thing here and these are breaking their defects rejects we have a wedding coming up we wanted to distribute these things to all the guests how did you do this so he took the boxes and he .
went back and he went back to the man on the side of the road selling these boxes and he says hey these things are not working he says what do you mean they’re not working they’re breaking the man says how much did you pay he says.
I paid a cent each I bought the whole box you know so many boxes four boxes I paid a cent each so the man says oh there are other ones that come for a deal hum and another one that comes for 10 dirhams it depends how much you pay did you read the instructions the ones you paid the saint’s ones did you look at the what it says inside there he said no well .
there’s a way of using them you want to pay it one cent you must know how to use it so the man says well how this is a fan he’s normal the whole world knows you open the thing and mashallah gives you a nice design and then you use it you know with your hand.
he says no no no no those are the ones for dirham the one for one cent there’s a different way so what’s the way he says come I show you okay hold it in your head he holds it in his hand he opens the thing and it’s you know the fan comes out beautiful picture.
he says now put it in front of your faces okay put it in front now say the man says what do you mean he says but that’s if you want to pay nothing you got to know how to use it you want the ones that you know you must pay a bit more you know what with our deeds sometimes sometimes our deeds are not the sincerity the quality is not good enough may Allah forgive us so take a look at surat al-mulk allah subhanahu wa taluses Tabar i can let me be a deal or the and let me follow up on motel hi Italian welcome a Newcombe Sanwa Ramallah .
well as he is loved we know we read surat al-mulk so often people know it off by heart listen to that second verse Allah says it is he who has created death and life for a certain reason what’s the reason in order to test who has better deeds from amongst you he didn’t say who has more deeds because what’s the point of doing more deeds when the quality is like that one cent fan what’s the point I’d rather do less deeds with the quality that when I need the fan and the cooling I will be cool subhanAllah so this is why?
I remember your father is your father you cannot compromise that your obligation you cannot compromise but that which is excess and more than that the quality is more important than the quantity if you have read the Quran properly and thoroughly and covered it within the span of a month and you did it correctly beautifully trying to understand its meaning and so on it is far more valuable than whipping through it and telling people.
I complete one Quran every third day or every day and so on if you want to read rock art of Salah and offer voluntary Salah it is far better for your preparation for the afterlife if you were to offer less with quality than offering more with quantity and no quality .
if you can do both alhamdulillah quality and quantity that is a success but if you cannot do the quantity of it remember it’s the quality that counts these are the deeds this is preparation of for the afterlife because when we get to our graves that’s Allah that we did last minute you know it happens every day hey it’s after what time is sunset ok sunset is at 5:31 for example so we say ok it’s still 5 5 o’clock.
I still got a bit of time and we still finishing a game watching a movie doing some brother stop everything the time of law of the time started at 3 something 335 whatever the time was you need to put aside everything and read your Salah we always say tell your work don’t say don’t say Oh Salah I have work say Oh work I have Salah quit it the women folks sometimes they’re cooking for you because sometimes we come roaring home like a lion .
I’m hungry I’m hungry what is there to eat hey poor woman is reduce a lot and also and we shouting relax take it easy go and make yourself an egg insha’Allah that egg is more blessed than you screaming in this way while she is trying to earn her Jana my sister don’t compromise your Salah for cooking don’t compromise your Salah for something else no stop everything your salah is your grave you know why your life might stop at that moment that Salah will come and save you .
you will get into the afterlife before you know people say but you know my children they are this they are that read the Sunnah ask their Lama find out how to fulfill your Salah if your children are troubling you a little bit here and there you fulfill your Salah Subhan Allah made sure that.
you’ve done it there is no excuse when Loughran disease and i’m just thinking there might be some people thinking okay I’m intentionally going to make a nice long Salah you know without having cooked and then I will say didn’t you hear the talk last night didn’t you see .
I was busy with my salad didn’t you hear the talk last night so remember to strike the balance you know we are not saying don’t abuse things in order to do something that you you want to ought not to do something that you have to don’t abuse things may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala help us so the preparation is such that every one of us common logic.
will tell us I need to prepare common sense but sometimes Alyce’s can laugh well to him boo Nanaji let our that the hoon and Allah may you love the that which is in front of you now that which is current you you love it and you are forgetting that .
which is coming and this happens to all of us what’s in front of us we wanted and what is coming we forget Allah says strike the banners use the current in order to prepare for that which is coming Allah make it easy for us .
