1:37

1:41
but hopefully by the end of it will feel motivated and more
1:44
furniture today or live on and we'll find out.
1:48
We'll find out in Charlotte. So obviously, it's a quite,
1:52
quite a heavy conversation. Yeah.
1:53
I think the best place to start is to know that, you know, the
1:57
Hadith, holy prophet, Muhammad saw, Allah o Sanam says remember
2:00
frequently the the cutoff of all pleasures, I death.
2:05
Hmm. Okay.
2:05
The endpoint of all your pleasures is death.
2:07
Obviously, that's what material and worldly pleasures.
2:10
But Where Do We Begin? Kind of, from the perspective of
2:13
death in Islam, everyone knows death.
2:15
Everyone's going to die, Muslim or non-muslim old or young male
2:19
or female. Everyone.
2:20
The only thing guaranteed in life is the final destination of
2:25
life, which is death. Everyone knows about death
2:28
generally, but we will have different understandings of it.
2:30
So what about in Islam? No, you're right.
2:32
And, you know, I wouldn't say the most beautiful thing and
2:36
this conversation is Dying. But the most beautiful thing is
2:39
understanding that we are all going to die.
2:42
We solve need to embrace this because I'm and realistically,
2:46
we forget the purpose of us here on this Dunya, you know, we're
2:50
too busy, you know, trying to work as hard as we can be no,
2:53
please others. And, you know, try and build
2:56
Empires and, you know, but at the end of the day, the only
3:00
guarantee in this world, I am not.
3:01
You know, how much money is in your bank balance, or you know
3:04
how much hotels can you build back home for many?
3:07
Many people from the Middle East.
3:09
Very famous with hotels, back home best.
3:11
Yeah. Ultimately, the only guarantee
3:13
in this world is death and we see this proven to us in the
3:18
Holy Quran. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
3:21
He says, in Surah, tell MBR verse 35, Bismillah ar-rahman
3:25
ar-rahim full moon of Sinda Hotel.
3:28
Most Every Soul Ahmad shall taste that, you know, no matter
3:33
how rich or poor old young weak strong, you know, Everyone.
3:39
Everyone is going to taste this and see if we just focus on this
3:42
verse and you know, before coming to talk here on this
3:46
podcast about this, I was thinking, you know, I came
3:49
across diverse could loan us in their cotton mouth.
3:52
You know, God as though a jelly could have told us, you know,
3:54
every soul is going to perish example, or you know, everyone
3:59
is gonna end up dying or everyone is going to end up in
4:02
their grave. What he said, taste the hotel to
4:06
taste It's not something simple and he got, I think he's trying
4:11
to not think of Syria, but I feel a lot of fun as well as
4:15
sending us. That every soul will taste death
4:18
because when you taste something, you're not going to
4:21
forget the taste of something. And it's only at that moment, we
4:25
are going to taste the reality of what they're truly is.
4:28
Like if you imagine saying sorry but if you, someone asked you to
4:31
describe the taste of something you never had before, you can
4:34
try and exclude describe icon until you experience it.
4:37
It and The Taste you'll either enjoy it or will you won't you
4:41
know either be something that is very good.
4:43
Sweetie you want more. You're enjoying that experience
4:46
that sensation or it's just taste which is foul and taste
4:49
which doesn't Intrigue you don't enjoy it.
4:52
I think in a similar way we can try and understand that that way
4:55
and you know talking about taste and you said you mentioned
4:57
sweet. It took me back to karbala.
5:00
Yeah sure. Are you know where we have
5:04
possible Hazard, alehsalaam where he wanted to enter the
5:07
battlefield. They launched Laura, you know,
5:09
he goes to his uncle, Imam, Hussein Abu Abdullah, and he
5:11
want you seeking permission to answer the battlefield.
5:14
And, you know, very beautifully after back and forth or
5:16
conversation happening between the Imam and his nephew.
5:19
He goes to him, you know costume.
5:20
How do you see death where he answers him?
5:23
And it's like Swannanoa relates to this verse calling us and our
5:26
cotton Mort for you Uncle. I see death sweeter than honey
5:30
is as if he understands the sweetness of dying and the way
5:34
of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and inshallah we can reach an
5:37
understanding. Ending where we can say, you
5:39
know what, let's Embrace death because ultimately we shouldn't
5:42
be scared that moment if we have Jen.
5:45
And if we have you know, belief in Allah, subhanahu wa'ta'ala
5:48
that we will be rewarded inshallah.
5:51
Agenda ultimately Jonathan for those will be rewarded.
5:54
This, we shouldn't fail at all. In fact we should embrace it and
5:57
we should prepare for it. You mentioned the word moat in
6:00
this Ayah, and of course, it has sort of that I'm be are sort of
6:04
Columbia and beer. Now obviously there's different
6:07
ways. Your own which I lost balance
6:08
all ages to describe the the sensation of death, one word is
6:13
one word is to offer, which means to receive if I'm on if
6:17
I'm not mistaken, the root word wafaa meaning to receive.
6:21
So for example, this word in the Holy Quran is mentioned 14 times
6:24
or 14 different occasions. And in, for example, you know,
6:27
it's about how the Angels receive us.
6:30
At the time of death, we received by the angel angel of
6:33
death, right? But we have to remember that
6:35
that receiving process will either be a process we enjoy or
6:39
not, like you said. Now death, it is Salam, is not
6:44
Annihilation, destruction, mortality, all of these things
6:49
end? It's not but more.
6:51
So it's not a guaranteed distasteful.
6:55
And as we as we were mentioning but rather it's about the
6:58
transition of the physical to the metaphysical.
7:01
Yes, it's about our lure. Moving from the stage of our
7:05
body into the Eternal phase and that transition process is very
7:10
important. Every human being from Adam to
7:14
mehdi alaihi wassalam Crave, that Supernatural, and that
7:19
longing, this to be amongst the Eternal amongst the
7:22
metaphysical. When we move into that,
7:24
transient world where last panel, Darla is in sha.
7:28
Allah, we are amongst his childish and where, you know, in
7:31
high stations but when we move into that world, we are in our
7:35
final about, you know, now, what we don't, Stand.
7:38
Is that death is not just a guaranteed, but it's not a
7:42
guarantee that any point. I know we're going to get into
7:43
this probably later in the discussion about what it is, but
7:46
just understand if I think from the Islamic point of view as
7:49
well, your body's your organs, your liver, your flesh, your
7:52
bones, your blood, all of that stuff is nothing in the sense of
7:57
a literal in terms of the, in terms of death rather you all
8:01
has an existential place in the our Christianity.
8:04
So it's the transition of your spirit.
8:06
Ultimately we are flesh and Bone.
8:07
Yeah, the thing that's keeping us alive is also La Roja Neffs.
8:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you said it very beautifully
8:13
that although, you know, they've kept for us you know, can be
8:16
seen like a destruction whereas everything ends rather.
8:19
I think that's where everything begins because we know Islam
8:23
tells us that this world is temporary.
8:25
Yeah, and the next World there are Cara is Everlasting as
8:29
forever. Many, I just remembered one of
8:32
the kids pizza pan. You remember a phrase?
8:35
I think was called Ever After or something was like a knife.
8:37
And where I don't have, I just came to read, Miranda, ignore me
8:40
this. So Random this, you know, should
8:44
tell us something that, you know this Dunya is not worth, you
8:49
know, crying over, you know, not worth, you know, fighting off
8:53
not worth, you know, all the things that we see as Priceless,
8:57
technically. If it's temporary, it's all
9:00
worthless. Like I made him a millionaire
9:01
lives and I Salam says, yeah, they Nia.
9:04
It says. Oh, do what?
9:06
I've divorced. You three times.
9:08
And you think about it when you contemplate is that the world
9:11
that we live in is is is not something we can take with us
9:14
into the upper. Yeah, you know, there's a
9:17
deformity Prophet, Muhammad saw Allah and he says there are
9:20
three things you take with you to your camera three things.
9:23
Only one of them is knowledge that you've left behind in.
9:28
They've given to the second is righteous children.
9:31
Have you raised righteous children?
9:33
Behave yourself. The third is sadaqa, jariya Have
9:37
you done anything which leaves an everlasting presence?
9:40
Could be charity? Could be you know supporting
9:43
someone with something else. That those three imal those
9:46
three deeds in sha Allah will be what is your salvation and
9:51
Arcana? Nothing else in this world will
9:53
help us. There's no guaranteed, no
9:55
guarantee that anything we own or moving to guarantee that
9:58
there is a guarantee that nothing in this world that we
10:01
own that, we where we possess any of our assets will be with
10:04
us and arkla know it's true and and reminds us that if Are going
10:08
to the hospital. Yeah.
10:09
And, you know sometimes we get so attached to this world.
10:13
It is Dunya that we think that we can live on forever.
10:16
We forget that we're going to die, you know?
10:18
And I think it's important to always put in the back of our
10:20
mind that we you know, there's a saying in Arabic when we say
10:27
everything, has a subject up, no salt, ultimately everything that
10:31
we do in this world and this Dunya as accountability IQ will
10:34
be held accountable. And that there is a verse.
10:37
I remember the A kid growing up. Hope I don't misquote it.
10:39
The smoke of woman who must all own something along those lines,
10:42
as, you know, on the day of judgment Allah.
10:45
Subhan Allah says, stop them for.
10:47
They are accountable for what they done in this world.
10:49
So all the small, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, the, you know,
10:54
you know, for some, it can be, the rivers, oceans, like this,
10:57
some things that we take for granted, we think are normal
10:59
everything we do here, we're going to be held accountable for
11:02
and the thing is the things we do in this life.
11:04
Allah has given us Millions. If not billions of At ease to
11:08
reconcile what which that? Which we have done wrong.
11:12
Okay, so we all have our enough's, you know where, where
11:16
one of the three types of nuts nuts are modern, Isola a llama
11:21
and loves our mother earth - yeah?
11:25
Of course, my tongue twister anyway.
11:27
Long story short is our nerves and the station.
11:29
I'll Neffs reaches will allow us to either attain that General,
11:34
that jahannam, which were guaranteed, we know.
11:37
The Holy Quran Allah spawn, Tyler tells us on so many
11:39
occasions, how two things. One either will reach one of
11:42
these final two destinations and to that, it's not our bodies
11:45
that will transform and kind of transit to the next life.
11:49
It's our spirit our Lord, you know, for example in short of
11:52
hijab, Allah Subhan Allah says on your Quran, verse 29.
11:57
When I fucked your fill him in on Rory, Monroe, hips.
12:00
And I breathed of my spirit into him talking about animal Islam
12:05
and we know from this that Last panel to others telling us that
12:09
we have a spirit. Our spirit, is there in a
12:12
becomes our Mana? We have responsibilities to take
12:14
care of it and you know becoming familiar with death is something
12:18
we should do in a day to day basis.
12:20
You know? I mean I'm not mean Ali,
12:21
Abdullah, Saleh abdeslam. Of course, we always talk about
12:23
him and we in the shallow tried to emulate his holy teachings in
12:28
sermon 5. If I'm not mistaken, I'm not
12:31
sure belaga my money in. Islam says, I the son of Abu
12:36
taalib alaysalam Am I became more familiar with death than
12:41
the infant who suckled the breast of his mother.
12:44
Now, for anyone who's had two kids, you all know that.
12:45
The only thing an infant knows instinctively is how to suckle.
12:50
So I think yeah. I mean, the more minions think
12:52
I've become more familiar with death and this infant like it
12:55
makes you think that this is Imam Ali.
12:57
Like he's got nothing to worry about.
13:00
There's anyone who's got nothing to worry about us in my Molly.
13:02
Listen, um, but he's become so familiar with death, he's
13:05
thinking about on a regular basis.
13:07
Asks, forgiveness from Allah subhana.
13:09
So either he's always in a state of contemplation reflection and
13:12
understanding of where he is and where he will be.
13:14
And you know why Imam Ali alaihi Salam?
13:16
Isn't that position to actually think like that?
13:19
Because we know that he says, himself that everything that he
13:22
does in this world, you know, no matter how big how small to
13:25
himself with his own family members of the community, with
13:28
the old murdering, his kind of a whatever is he said that he
13:31
never you know don't anything any act you know without seeing
13:35
a lot before it during us And after it, yeah, you have to
13:39
really reach a stage of understanding that you are
13:43
accountable. You know, I didn't Imam Ali when
13:45
he says, for example, he seeks forgiveness from Allah,
13:47
subhanahu wa'ta'ala, bro. In my wall is infallible.
13:49
Mmm, he's not coming. No sense, that's that's his
13:52
humbleness. Yeah, talking.
13:54
And he has that connection with Allah as a reminder to us.
13:57
They found Imam, Ali cannot for forgiveness, knowing that he
14:00
makes no sense in. Who are we not to seek
14:02
forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala?
14:03
Because if we want that Jenna, you know, we've made that Goal.
14:08
You know, when I was a kid. Hmm.
14:10
Maybe it is a bit as a bit traumatic if I mentioned and
14:13
now, but when I was younger, I think I was I was everything
14:16
primary school, but this is this is something I will always
14:19
remember take from me forever. My mother may Allah protect the
14:22
for us used to say, I mean, you know, she never talked to me
14:26
about, you know, he'll we know she mentioned, for example, this
14:30
Hellfire. There's not jahannam, just
14:32
Jaheim. You know, Elijah had no more
14:34
best atmosphere. Like, all of these things I can
14:35
remember, but there was one point she would mention.
14:37
Ian, what she gave me like, an analogy where she said, you
14:40
know, Ali if you know what you are about to do is wrong if we
14:45
want Jenna to ultimately want Janet, she's used to tell me if
14:47
you want. You know, she told me, don't do
14:49
this. But she said, mentally mentally,
14:51
you know think of this if you think you're about to do
14:53
something that's wrong, Take the match box, they can't match
14:57
stick, and swipe across and just put your hands on top of it.
15:02
If you feel no pain, go go ahead and do it this, if you feel
15:05
something, just remember darker, there is heaven.
15:08
Yeah, and there is hell. So that act will determine
15:11
whether inshallah we will, you know, go to Janet and for do.
15:15
So we will be with the likes of the enemies of Allah and the
15:17
Hellfire, which is somewhere. We do not want to be on.
15:20
Yeah, absolutely. I think we've got to mention a
15:21
couple of things. The first being is that death
15:24
itself is A lesson. Yeah, you know we know on many
15:29
occasions for those of us who have had friends or family
15:32
members leave this world, the number of lessons you learn in
15:36
the short term of the long term, it's too many to count.
15:39
So I have lost. You know, when I was young I
15:41
lost a friend. I'd like my best friend you
15:44
passed away. I was a kid.
15:45
I was maybe seven, eight years old, he passed away in on Amara
15:49
anymore, not with it with his family, as well Allah.
15:51
That's the most of soul, I can't hit me.
15:55
Hard. I think about it, so often, and
15:58
I reflect on it a lot and its really, really messed me up.
16:02
And I remember in that day when I found out, but as I've gotten
16:05
older, I reflect on this, it's Hannah.
16:07
Why you think so much about these things?
16:09
Family members as well? You know, there's a Hadith,
16:12
again from natural belaga middleman in says, Simon 48.
16:15
Yesterday, I was your neighbor tomorrow.
16:18
I will not be with you anymore. Hmm, and my body will be still
16:22
and stationary. I'll be silent.
16:24
He says We'll learn more. You'll you'll attain Council
16:29
when I'm in this state more than eloquent speeches.
16:33
Like you think subhanallah, like Imam Ali saying that you learn
16:37
more sometimes through a silent and still body.
16:40
Then you do have someone who's giving you all the Marvel and
16:44
all the speeches and everything. It's because you are reflecting
16:47
on it and, you know, inshaallah, we can think about these things
16:51
because, you know, death is death as a lesson for us.
16:53
And we always look at death of me.
16:55
Think. Oh I Like It.
16:56
Hot mild fatter this. That describe passed away this
16:58
crap off way. So when you know pasta little
17:00
you we never we never talked about on ourselves.
17:03
You know, we never say, when is my time could be tonight.
17:06
It could be tomorrow, it could be next year next month.
17:09
So it's just it's it really is a wake-up call.
17:12
No, and the fact that you mentioned, you know, those words
17:16
still. Yeah.
17:17
It's like Color Spot time stops. You know, your time here on this
17:20
and this Earth is Carlos. Yeah, this is there's no coming
17:25
back. Back and I, I want to share
17:29
something the other day and I run by message Jews.
17:32
Well, I think the team here as well as like, you know, a couple
17:34
of weeks back and I was like, you know, my daughter.
17:37
She said she was crying so much at night one day.
17:40
And she was telling me, you know, you know, I don't want you
17:45
to die. She was telling me there are
17:47
mothers are sharing this with you.
17:49
And that was the moment I realized, like it's so important
17:52
that we can teach children. Deaf and positive way.
17:57
Because for them, the kids, they don't understand best.
18:00
If we don't teach them from a young age, what it means to be,
18:04
you know, here temporarily and you have the Oscar.
18:09
This is where in the truck is like a transition world.
18:11
Where, what we do here, you know, will determine where we go
18:14
next. And in the Hereafter is that how
18:18
do we answer these questions? Because when I was little, I
18:23
didn't have fear of my parents dying when I Was little, I
18:25
didn't used to think like that I did this.
18:27
I think I should think like this.
18:29
Okay, I'm going to die. I'm sharing my journey thought.
18:32
So I'm going to die. I'm going to close my color,
18:33
some sleep forever. So I used to imagine like, how
18:37
would you go? General guys always think, but I
18:40
don't remember if I was told or resolved, but I think what I
18:43
lacked in my understanding at a very young age, it's
18:47
understanding of Neffs and soul that, although we may die here
18:51
and become Flesh and Bones. And me still, now Graves
18:54
ultimate is our All the moves moves into the next well, and,
18:57
you know, we have almond butter, sock, for example, sighs.
19:00
I don't know too much about it. The silent Brothers occurs is
19:05
another world between before Judgment day before we actually
19:08
get judged from of our. Yeah, there's a really Lord.
19:12
If I Mighty shade, Mata Hari mL of this is so called the eternal
19:18
life, which is really, really good talks about the concept of
19:20
death, the death, which I actually picked up a few points
19:23
from him as long as you mentioned.
19:25
Today, the concept of death all the way up until the Final
19:28
Destination. And after a buzzer, and all of
19:31
these stages as well. You know, you mentioned
19:33
something earlier which stuck with me.
19:35
The Hadith of, in my wireless time, about remembering, Allah
19:38
spawn, Tyler before during and after every action and we
19:40
mentioned this Hadith a lot on the Pod because I think it's
19:44
something which is Meaningful. Yeah, it's really we do and it
19:48
has a place in every discussion, you know?
19:50
So something we have to remember and we have to think about is In
19:55
what position we talked about being received to offer in what
20:00
position, or what state do we want to be received by Allah
20:03
subhanaw taala. Like do we want to be in a
20:07
position where on the day we die.
20:09
We have said something rude to someone to a family member on
20:13
the below. For example, you've gone to a
20:15
bad place. Imagine every place you go to
20:17
what if this is the last place? I'm on this Earth.
20:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I mean, if I'm amongst bad
20:23
friends, where I found this, Thing to music in the car and
20:26
I'll double A something happens to me or if I'm in a casino or
20:29
if I'm in, you know, around a place where there's alcohol and
20:32
I'm watching a football game, whatever it might be, if this is
20:36
the last place with Allah, Subhan Allah, be pleased with me
20:39
in this state. And we're not, you know, there's
20:41
so many stories. My I have a family member passed
20:43
away to other wines ago. My auntie my whole mama, she
20:47
passed away in Imam, Hussein Shrine on opening day.
20:52
While she was reading, Dodge ocean can build on.
20:55
And every time I think about that, like how did she get to
20:59
that stage? Where this was her Destiny where
21:02
she was what she was doing and when it was her mother God and
21:05
he won for sale of. So yeah.
21:09
And you know I think about like this is a there's a God given
21:12
status that you achieve you know, in this world and Allah
21:15
will take you like again, coming back to a minimum in in but
21:18
passing away dying. Of course we in Shadow mabon.
21:20
We remembered his martyrdom 1900 on my lawn in front of saw that
21:24
he Struck. And of course he passed away on
21:26
the 21st and they are the coordinates.
21:28
Yes. Think like there's a status.
21:30
Allah gives you no one in the world will give you that status.
21:33
You can't have followers, you can have money, you can have
21:35
family, I can of Glory. Nothing will compare to the
21:38
glory, I love gives you the station.
21:40
You can reach through Allah has endorsement his promotion is
21:44
respect. All of you.
21:46
Is something you can't achieve elsewhere.
21:48
So don't worry about death. There's a Hadith of if I'm not
21:50
mistaken. The holy prophet Muhammad, saw
21:52
Asylum. Where he says those three.
21:54
As I mentioned earlier if you leave this world with the three
21:58
animal, like I said knowledge righteous children and South
22:01
Korea, you shouldn't be afraid. You should be confident about
22:04
death that transition. Yeah you know so there's nothing
22:07
really to be afraid of like a Molly says Wellness or blogger.
22:10
So yeah, it's just something we have to continually remember
22:14
that the is a transition phase. Yes, it's scary.
22:17
Everyone. If someone said oh, your last
22:19
day on this Earth is going to be this Sunday and you're gonna
22:22
pass away here at this place. At this time.
22:23
You're not going to go. There you go.
22:24
Try to avoid it. That's because we're not at that
22:26
stage where we've got the conviction.
22:27
I'm ready to meet my Lord. Yeah, you know I've cleared my
22:30
sins and my slate is clean. So what is important?
22:33
And you know I was I was having many discussions with my wife,
22:39
you know, sometimes we see. No, should we buy this or you
22:42
know what I shall? Should we go there?
22:43
Or she would do that and sometimes I keep telling a
22:47
couple has a, you know, fart - humble ourselves a bit.
22:51
You know, there's no point. If we get this we're going to
22:53
die about one of them. Yeah.
22:54
I'm not going to put in our grave sometimes.
22:56
So sometimes we contemplate we have that.
22:58
We had the thought and it and I'm thinking now you know
23:03
nothing is going to save us like apart from our Good Deeds around
23:07
Malala. Our Iman.
23:09
I was like how about Quran have a fast all of these, our, you
23:13
know, seeking forgiveness. From Allah subhanallah, all of
23:15
this will save us because we think we are somehow in control
23:19
of when we die. Yeah.
23:21
Because, you know, People laugh, you'll actually look.
23:25
Now they spend so much money on trying to live the most
23:29
healthiest life. What's the reason they want to
23:31
be healthy living thing is because they really like you
23:34
want to chill and relax. No Baba the China delay death as
23:38
much as possible. Yeah.
23:39
Impossible and ultimately you know Allah says, you know, when
23:42
your time comes, it comes. So sometimes, you know written
23:46
is written and he can't do anything about it.
23:48
When medical mortars coming for you happy when the angel of
23:51
death. Let's go.
23:52
Going to take your soul and Charles, you know, they say
23:54
sakurada and moats as the pulling, I think the Apollo was
24:00
the right translation, which I think is like a state of
24:03
drunkenness. Like, if someone is drunk, you
24:06
know, the same delivery or Delirious, or maybe that's a
24:10
better to use, not drunk, do forgive me best.
24:13
We want that to be, we want to be in a state where we know like
24:17
feral, you know, where Pharaoh said, I'm not a book on Malala
24:20
where he thought he's going to live on forever.
24:21
And he was saying, I'm your I'm Yolanda great, hide the
24:24
greatest. I'm the high Lords Majesty.
24:26
Etc, Allah made him perish that every everyone and that should
24:30
be a lesson, you know, his arrogance led to his, you know,
24:34
he perished as much as everyone actually believe during his
24:37
time. There was some pharaohs is
24:40
actually God. All the Bela stuff for Allah,
24:44
they showed own eyes. There's so many people who are
24:47
Blasphemous voice. A lot of people have been
24:49
Blasphemous towards our last month Allah.
24:51
And No, we talked about all these different communities and
24:55
sort of TLC, sort of room and all of these different sources.
24:59
We read throughout the year, they all talk about communities
25:03
which disobeyed Allah not just disobey, try to disgrace, Allah.
25:07
Yeah. And try to kind of what's the
25:10
word I'm looking for? They wanted to look big, they
25:13
wanted to challenge God and ultimately they all faced their
25:18
their Destiny which is death. Yes their fate was met and This
25:23
is why we have history to learn from from the people before us
25:25
and run, always tells us. Look at those before you reflect
25:28
on those before you, it's crazy. When you think about, I had
25:32
this, I had something I really wanted to say, I completely
25:34
forgot. Sorry, if you don't mind saying
25:36
that thing about the pulling of the Soul.
25:38
Yes. Yeah.
25:39
I don't know where or when, you know, like I said, when you're
25:42
young, you hear things and stays with you.
25:44
Yeah. Till the day you die, I always
25:48
remember something I was told, I'm not sure if it's from my
25:50
Hadith or is the tafseer or it's just a Analogy.
25:53
But I was told when I was younger about, imagine you are
25:59
like, your soul is like a plant, okay?
26:03
And it's either us. Let's say a bush.
26:07
Your soul is like a bush and imagine when your, when your
26:10
soul is taken, it's like a shroud or a very soft silk
26:14
scarf. This put on top of that bush.
26:16
Your bush, your soul has forms, you rip that sold out of the
26:20
body. It will Rip the scarf out.
26:22
That would be like, what this put taking the soul is like or
26:25
if imagine if your rose bush and you'll your soul, this is
26:29
beautiful in. Your soul is soft-hearted and
26:32
you you drape something off it very peacefully.
26:35
It'd be easy for you to be pleasant and it's kind of like,
26:38
imagine on a hot day. You know, when you go for the
26:41
other, yeah, walk in the shrine and they're cold.
26:43
Water hits. Your face, is the best feeling
26:46
in the world and I think from, in many ways, I don't know, but
26:49
I'm assuming that for those whose death is sweet for It will
26:52
be like that, and we don't want money and we hear ideas will
26:55
come to us and he will hold our hand and walk us into the next
26:58
life. No, I like that is the ultimate
27:01
goal. Shall we can get to that stage
27:03
but, you know, it's just something for us to contemplate
27:05
on like, our soul is ultimately what defines us?
27:09
Well, represent for us. There will be a day normal
27:11
hisab, where everything we've done in this world will be
27:14
accountable for the day where everything we've done will be on
27:16
display. There will be no secrets hidden.
27:20
Nothing nothing. You do.
27:21
Whatever you did last night, whoever you're with last week
27:24
wherever you went last month, these things will not be kept
27:27
secret from us or from anyone else.
27:30
So we just have to remember this and I shall, you know, try and
27:32
change the way we approach life indeed.
27:34
Indeed and I, you know, sometimes I think it's best if
27:38
we can, for example, be simple and humble in this world.
27:42
Because the more, I reckon we can be in this Dunya, you know,
27:46
the more Harem we can may know them.
27:49
Time we, you know, go away from the path of Allah subhanahu
27:53
wa'ta'ala. This is all going to come as
27:56
baggage to us. I know and the heavier your
27:59
baggage of sins. You know, I remember those are
28:02
podcasts where you mentioned, you know what we do in this
28:05
world, the bad just like a white sheet of paper.
28:07
Every time you do something bad, it gets filled with black dots.
28:10
Let's make that as white as possible.
28:12
And you know, we have so much, you know, Avenues and ways and
28:18
methods where we can? Ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala,
28:22
unless we can do that right now, you know, no matter how sinful
28:24
we are allowing, like, no matter how much wrong with on how much
28:28
labor sessions, we've attended how much for example, people
28:31
with her, you know, her family separated families.
28:34
You know, there's so much that goes on that we don't think
28:37
about that. This is going to come and affect
28:39
us on the day of judgment. We can ask Allah subhanahu,
28:42
wa'ta'ala, firstly to forgive us, but let's reach out to those
28:45
people that we have her and see forgiveness from them because I
28:49
have heard Add that on the day of judgment.
28:51
For example, if you really hurt someone in this world and you've
28:54
done Injustice to them a Hermit Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala May
28:57
forgive you, but he's going to ask that person.
29:00
That had the Injustice. Do you forgive him?
29:02
Hmm. Do you think of her?
29:05
And if they don't Sorry, man, it's so we have to think and,
29:11
you know, I was mentioning in a relation.
29:13
I see this point actually, in how people spend money, for
29:15
example, on, you know, health. So they can live longer, you
29:19
know, islamically, we have one way to live longer, which is
29:22
what? Reconciling with your relatives
29:30
of people who have serious issues with their families.
29:33
They may be your uncle, it may be your other know, your
29:36
grandma, your grandfather, your father, your own mother, your
29:39
sister, your blood brothers, you know, blood cousins, whoever you
29:42
are bro, reconcile and seek forgiveness from each other
29:45
because believe me when they go, they're gone all those little
29:49
sadhana think. I wish I said sorry.
29:51
You know, I wish for example I Didn't say that to them or II.
29:56
Wish I made them. Understand why I said this and
29:58
seek forgiveness from them know the certain things that we need
30:02
to think about. If we can think, clearly with a
30:05
clear mind that we are. Had September, are Ali Oscar has
30:10
waiting and it's not going to wait forever.
30:14
I can die tomorrow. I can die.
30:16
I'm 30 now. Okay, maybe I live to say you
30:19
want a lot, what? Island?
30:21
So we go. I think I got I think as well as
30:23
much as me. Talking now, I'm thinking to
30:24
myself, bro. I'm gonna die.
30:26
I'm gonna have my own grave, you know?
30:28
And shallow was listening. Please make sure I'm buried in.
30:30
Karbala this ultimately, we need to ensure long.
30:34
Have you been likewise? But we need to ensure that we
30:36
prepare our grave where we can be happy and we can say
30:42
wholeheartedly That we lived this world to please Allah
30:45
subhanahu. Wa'ta'ala has a passenger door
30:46
Sola, and yet, in particular, the amount of our time, because
30:50
anything we do wrong now. They mom is watching, and they
30:53
say, when is she a do something wrong?
30:55
He's her, you know what? Hurting our emotions for us.
30:58
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
31:00
Just before we wrap up here, I want to ask you.
31:03
Of course, there's a there may be someone in listening who has
31:06
lost someone close to them. Recently, a family member,
31:11
someone who's older even young. For those who don't know, you're
31:15
my hormone respect to father said, I busted other way was
31:19
seven of the 108 level Salam and of course he passed away on.
31:24
Was it a shorter day? I shall ride the S10 Muharram.
31:27
Yeah. Yeah.
31:29
And 2008 8 I thought so you know we remember we pray for him a
31:35
lot, shall we pray? Allah sponsor that elevates his
31:37
soul and you know he continues to live his legacies is
31:41
continued through you. Service your head mode, which is
31:45
Marshall also abundant and of course those of your siblings in
31:47
your children as well. But for someone who's listening
31:50
and they've lost someone recently or they're struggling
31:52
to get through that. What would you advise them?
32:00
just before I get into my father, sorry, it took me back
32:06
to that 22. 2008 chaturanga to my father.
32:09
I want you to mention that this is a reality especially those
32:13
who are close around you. And I say that because the last
32:16
23 years I've lost my grandfather of lost my
32:18
grandmother have lost by paternal Aunt of lost.
32:21
My paternal uncle has wall over the span of four years.
32:24
It was like back to back to back to back and it's a reminder to
32:28
everyone including me that death is real especially if it's in
32:31
your family, bro. Yeah, I do and, especially if
32:33
it's to the ones that you love so much.
32:35
Select my father, thanks for bringing him.
32:37
Allah bless you about home. Mean, it tells you how true
32:42
death is, bro, and I don't know why you asked me.
32:45
I've lost my mind now, but what was the question?
32:48
You Oxford, man, like we were all in the mosque at the time on
32:58
the majors had just finished and I was hearing my dad speak about
33:02
it. Like I said, I said, I bought
33:04
supplies passed away. And we were very close at the
33:07
time. I came straight to you I'm like,
33:09
say it is it true? He's like you like is what true
33:11
you are. So I just just major to just
33:13
finish. We've just finished our food and
33:16
whatever and then say that he was completely baffled because
33:19
everyone knew, but I think say Daddy wouldn't wasn't accepting
33:22
it and then next thing you know say that is in the corner by
33:25
himself and everyone's like trying to help him and I do
33:29
remember that it actually, everyone was in shock because
33:32
said I bought was someone who's very close to everyone.
33:36
And it was very humble, I think he was reciting images as well.
33:40
He was, he was in Kuwait, it was actually reciting the mocktail
33:44
of Imam Hussain. It's all that.
33:47
That day is very close to us. I think because everyone It was
33:51
it I remember that day clear as day, it wasn't an album and I
33:56
was 15 by the way, in 13 hours of 15 years ago.
33:59
I think to me that was the first reality of death of someone who
34:02
I knew. I think Hmm.
34:04
Yeah and it gives you perspective at that age
34:07
especially you know, you know it's true.
34:08
I didn't accept it II. Remember there was some people
34:12
asking, you know, is your dad, okay?
34:13
And someone like what the hell is going on?
34:14
You know what, on Earth is all that what else is happening?
34:16
And it wasn't until later we got To back home with the family we
34:21
went to I think it was my brother-in-law said, hashem's
34:24
house is when the news was broken to us that you know, our
34:27
father passed away. That was tough Allah can
34:30
remember was tough, you know, hearing him scream and stuff
34:33
that wasn't easy. And this I was fine.
34:36
I was fine all the way until I got to Kuwait.
34:40
You know, when I saw his janazah and I remember Landing an
34:43
airport, you know speaking of say the most about his father
34:47
said, say the real blessing He actually joined us on the
34:50
beginning to end funeral and burial things that we done that
34:57
I didn't accept my father passed away until I saw him.
35:02
On the, the moxon know where they wash the bodies.
35:07
And I saw him there Ahmad and And while I would not move.
35:13
And I would like want to talk to him but as I knew then even
35:17
though I was 15 and I was young, I would know that.
35:21
I know that they say, the souls of those who are there, they
35:24
could see and they can watch. They can listen to they, wish
35:27
they can respond back to what you are saying to the best.
35:31
Ultimately I had hope and I knew full well that he was with God
35:37
and he is with the Imam Hussein. And you know, the way he died,
35:40
when he died, where he died the day on the day in which He died
35:43
what he was doing. Just when he died, all of this
35:45
helped me. Best the, what hurt me the most
35:49
was when we were burying him in karbala and you don't see God,
35:53
that go with the grave is not easy, but a lot of them.
35:56
So, I don't know, you know you said what advice we can give to
36:02
people you know when it comes to death especially if we know
36:06
someone has lost a loved one. Is that all I can say is bro
36:09
make sure you don't upset your parents.
36:11
You know that we should not expect you to Paris, I'll have
36:19
you. Yeah I don't think I'm going to
36:21
take this part in the conversation because it's
36:26
something you don't want experience and I'll be honest if
36:28
someone there. You know, grieving a loved one,
36:31
you know, not even my family now and I say the snow, bro, I was
36:35
seeing counseling, that's how much messed me up.
36:38
I was at school on the school was so kind Paddington Academy.
36:42
They would actually bring me a counselor in class whenever I
36:44
needed and I will chat. I'll go private him with disgust
36:46
and I rolled the counselor going crazy.
36:48
Well, I shouldn't say it was kind of a lot with him off.
36:50
I said now just talk talk talk talk, talk ultimately that
36:53
really helped because I would not have a conversation with my
36:56
family about I balled up and I I have a friend.
36:59
I look at him. I don't know if he listens to
37:01
this he was so of close to me during that time as well.
37:06
And he would come randomly, just say wrong downstairs.
37:08
I come down from 1,000 ounces and we talk to each other talk.
37:12
We talk and we cry and say stories and stuff.
37:14
But the best thing that I learned from my father's death
37:17
is that you know that Heidi Forest has lived amongst people
37:21
in such a way that if you cry, if you die They weep over you
37:25
and if you're alive, they crave your company.
37:27
And I believe that was my father said I was alone.
37:30
You for me, that was the definition of the Hadith, my
37:33
email me. Because wherever I went, I I
37:36
know people who give me so much stories about him and he would
37:39
always leave an insightful. Happy impact on them, love I
37:43
spoke with and they would say, for example, you know You're not
37:48
said this and you make us laugh and make those joke.
37:52
You know, all those sad things were a lot of them.
37:56
There was some friends of mine who say used to say your dad was
37:59
more of a dad to us than our own data and that was scary.
38:04
That was scary when I saw Heather and I have other things.
38:06
I don't want to share best. Yeah.
38:10
May Allah bless everyone's butthole mean, I mean, I mean
38:14
your dad like obviously I'm not. I never knew him.
38:19
Yeah. Way way, way.
38:21
Before I even knew you sedna, but like you hear about people
38:28
who leave a lasting Legacy, not just for days weeks, but years,
38:32
and decades Beyond. Beyond their passing and your
38:35
father may Allah bless him is definitely amongst them and like
38:38
we said before Allah on his people and your father's station
38:45
is undoubtedly High. Amongst job level Salam shall
38:49
undoubtedly to pass in the way he was you don't find stories
38:56
like that like I mentioned my aunt your father may Allah bless
38:59
them both like these things are very rare and you know Just just
39:04
goes to show that you, you will get rewarded like yeah, life is
39:08
hard, you know, it's hard to pray.
39:10
Five times a day on times hard. Not to listen to music, or not
39:15
to chat to girls and all that. But ultimately, yeah, it's not
39:19
worth it. It's not worth all the old like,
39:24
the temporary Pleasures, but it's worth the hassle of
39:28
struggle. Do you go on saying the struggle
39:30
and the the challenge, all of that.
39:33
It's worth it. Ultimately, because you'll get
39:35
given given an honor that you can't achieve through, worldly
39:39
deals and negotiation. You can't sign a contract for
39:43
someone to agree that, oh, I'm going to die on this day at this
39:45
time, this place. No.
39:47
Like your time comes when your time comes, you don't expect.
39:50
You don't know what's going to happen, but if you are worthy of
39:54
that Allah will give you that. Like, you know, I don't know,
39:57
maybe I'm offering but I just genuinely believe that there's
40:00
some things in life, which you can plan ahead for, you can try
40:04
Put your own impact on it. Like you can you know that you
40:07
can't you can't and F. And I think it's very important
40:10
that when we die I meant is that we don't just leave inheritance
40:13
behind. Yeah, you know you know people
40:15
when they die, all they leave behind is like property and
40:18
money and stalks and you know physical assets bro.
40:21
That's gonna that's not going to help you.
40:23
Honesty is not gonna help you. It's only going to help in sha
40:26
Allah, your family while left behind this apart from that bro.
40:29
Nothing in this world. No power.
40:31
No for humor, your power will destroy your Friends, possibly
40:35
desire, your spouse may even leave.
40:37
Yuck everything you can imagine nothing is going to help you to
40:40
go inshallah towards that destination gender, which I like
40:44
to call rescinding of use that phrase so much times.
40:47
Now there's ultimately that's what we want but we want to
40:49
please Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala as also mean I say as a son to
40:53
my father. If you're a parent out there
40:55
just teach your parents, the love of Allah, the love of
41:00
rasulullah, more teachers from Allah who are you and the love
41:03
of the It's because these three are the only things that's going
41:07
to matter to. I remember someone that was a
41:09
video on Tick Tock I should. And the other day we had a
41:12
discussion on Tick-Tock and, you know, I mentioned something
41:18
about being from the she have a meal and Romanian alehissalaam
41:21
and then someone told someone was like you know what there's
41:24
there's no there's no point even mentioned something like this
41:27
because when you die God is not going to ask you if you're sure
41:31
are suddenly for example that's also really we know are It's
41:34
going to hog sauce. Yeah, we know.
41:35
Who is your lord? Who is your Prophet?
41:38
Where is your publisher? Who is was your book?
41:40
Who is, you're a mom, you know, all of these questions.
41:42
They mean a lot. So as a parent is a duty on all
41:46
of us that we teach this and instill this in our children.
41:48
So in sha, Allah they are ready in the Centre Journey.
41:52
They are often show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:54
I think we never have lied to. You've taken me to the know, say
41:58
it honestly the from Walt. Sometimes, it's important to
42:01
have these conversations to like a middleman instead in that.
42:04
The it's a lesson death is a lesson for us, you love someone
42:09
and then you lose them you know and shallower you were not
42:12
reunited with your father sooner than you know and Charles and
42:16
like that type this time between now and when you meet him again
42:20
it's quicker than you think childline the time will fly by
42:24
will be a dream. Charla, why not?
42:27
Why not run? This is this, thank you.
42:29
Thank you for tuning in. You still need to see the
42:32
positively and yeah on Charlotte.
42:34
Look, it's a beautiful thing. Look what, look, what happened
42:36
to it. I look how he's turned out.
42:37
Masha, Allah, and we have other friends, and we've all lost
42:42
someone. And if we haven't lost someone,
42:44
and we say, shook her hand it off, you've got your parents,
42:46
you've got your siblings, your spouse, your children, remember
42:49
to say chakra to be grateful, to Allah for everything.
42:51
You've got everything. You continue to have every day,
42:54
