“Those who suffer in this dunya , the life in hereafter will be easier for them”
“Those who touch the dust(meaning the one who did the dirty work in this dunya), will not touch the dust in the hereafter. The reason in that they have already suffered in this dunya and their recompense is on afterlife"
Those who are not attached to the hereafter, they will feel so safe with this Dunya. They will not recognize the ayat’s of Allah such as the sky,sun etc. They will be so ignorant towards Allah’ signs. And their destination will be hell-fire.
Allah says,
“Those who choose Shaytan over Ar-Rahman, they will be with the one whom they loved in hereafter”.
Hereafter:
Details presented in the Quran about Hereafter is much more detailed than any religion scriptures.
Not even 10% of the description of the hereafter mentioned in Quran is mentioned in other religion scriptures.
PBUH lifestory:
Ibn Masud(RA) cried at PBUH bed marks on his body because PBUH was lying on the bed that is made up of palm fibres.
Ibn Masud said “ I have seen the kings of Persians, the Rome but you….” and started to cry
PBUH consoled him by saying “ Their life is here , our life is on hereafter”
When Aisha(RA) commented on the girls who were wearing revealing clothes , by “ Their life is here , but our life is on hereafter”. #NoHijabInAkhira :)- Because, no one wants to look at you with a desire except your lawful partner.
Belief in the Last Day:
Its a pillar of Islam
Hence, a person who do not have belief in it, he is not a complete believer.
We were informed about the belief of Here After by the Angel of Jibrael who came into human form and announced it to PBUH.
#Taqwa # FearOfYourLord
Almost ⅓ of the Quran is about Judgment Day.
Ayat(2:4) - Take a look at it :)
The recompense is Al-Jannah for the believers
The more you study of Day Of Judgment , the more you will know about Allah.
One of the predominant characteristics that can be seen in Day Of Judgment, it is Allah’s mercy
Abu Bakr Sithiq preferred Allah to be intercessors compared to his own parents.
Why?
Due to the PBUH incident, when PBUH said Allah loves us more than a mother who has just received the lost child and she was giving breast milk the moment, she saw the child. And, the PBUH asked the companions “ Will, she throw the child in fire now?”. The companions said no. Then PBUH announced that
“ Allah loves us more than 99 times of her, will he throw us at the hell fire very easily?”Lesson Learnt:
Allah is extremely merciful, the one who will be thrown in hell-fire are real losers.
1%- Allah’s mercy in this dunya
99%- Kept for HereAfter/DayOfJudgement
Al-Ghaffur & Al- Waddud:
These two names are always combined in Quran
This shows that Allah forgives and loves- This is only the characteristics of Allah, human beings don’t do that, both at the same time.
-Common Phrase we might hear
“ I forgive you but I cannot be your friend anymore, or I can’t love you anymore “
Bilal Ibn Rabbah(RA) told the angel of Death
“ Take my soul or squeeze my soul away very quickly, I can’t wait to see my Lord, and my companions, and my beloved PBUH”
Why do you love this Dunya so much (more love compared to hereafter)?
-It is because you spent too much time planning for this dunya compared to hereafter
- For example, when you are building a building in this dunya, you will put in all the efforts to build it. You will make sure all the materials are in best of quality. The moment, you are not going to live in that building/house, you will feel sad and feel your time & energy has been wasted.
-Hence, if we invest our time & energy fo akhira, hereafter, we will not be able to wait to see the Day of Judgment
But….
Whether we like it or not, we will be going to see the Day of Judgement
Whenever you want to commit a sin ,think whether you want your sin to be reflected in the book and shows to everyone and you.
Shaykh’s encounter:
Super Funny and Important Incident:
He met a revert sister. And, he asked her revert story( this is his habit of asking all the new reverts about their stories)
She said,.
“ I always go to this particular gym and I meet this good looking guy. And, I thought he had same interest for me too. So, I went up to him one day, and I saw him doing Salah. At that point of time, I did not know what Salah is, so I thought it is an extremely cool exercise. So, after he prayed, I told him “That, is a cool exercise”. Then, the guy replied me back by saying that “it is not an exercise, but prayer to Allah/God”. And, I was actually bit surprised, then I asked him out “ Do you want to come with me out”. He replied back even without thinking “No.”. Then I asked him by saying “ So you already attached …”. Then he replied no as well. Finally, I get offended and told him “ So, you think that I am not attractive”. Then he replied by saying “ That is not the reason “ And, he took out a lighter from his pocket. Then I told him “ If you are smoker, it is not a matter to me”. But he said, “ That is not the reason, I place my lighter in my pocket all the time, Whenever I feel like doing a sin, I burn myself so that I will get reminded of hell-fire”. Then, he walked away. After that , I came couple of times to the gym but the guy cannot be found.At last, I was very curious of how the young guy is so determined and I learnt about Islam, and i became Muslim”
Early Generation:
One man from early generation used to look at his bed after he has woken up for Fajr or Qiyam and he will tell the bed “ You are so nice, soft, but you are not better than the bed in Jannah”.
(LOL, the Shaykh said the bed in those times, are not as same as the bed now in hotels etc)
Jafwa- You will hate to go back to the bed
- One of the early generation , said to the bed “ I hate to see you more than I hate to see Shaytan”
-Aid Muslims towards good deeds
- Patience:
1) Perseverance in doing good deeds
2) Abstain from Wrong
3) Times of Hardship
-Established asceticism towards matters of this life.
PBUH story of companion who lost his beloved child who he always be in company of. The companion always keep his child on his lap for any gatherings.
PBUH said “ I can bring the child back to alive. But do you prefer that ? or you prefer to be patient as your will child will be waiting for you and you can go with you child at any doors of Jannah”.
PBUH said “The child who dies at the young age will be taken care by Prophet Ibrahim(the fathers of all prophets) till the Day Of Judgment”.
Cheap things can fill your stomach. And, you will not have the temptation any more to eat expensive things after you filled your stomach. (The shaykh made a joke this is exceptional case for Americans). Anyways, this is the same principle for dunya. Live your life simply, so that you will be satisfied and don’t run after this dunya (for haram things)
PBUH said “If you lose your eyesight in this dunya , you will enter paradise”. This made on the scholar not to go for eye operation as he prefer to be patient and get reward .
The dunya desire will never ends,In fact, it always increases.
Conclusion:
Human nature always to love to see unseen(Al-Ghaib)
In Arabic, or any language, if there is many names for just one meaning, it means that particular subject is very important for the people.
For example, sword is very important for the Arabic people. There is 70 words for sword. But, SubhanAllah, not even a single word of sword is mentioned in Quran. #IslamIsPeacefulReligion
Yawnl-Al Jam ( Another name of Day of Judment Day):
-The day you will be gathered with your deeds, all the similar ppl together, and all the creations together.
-Everyone standing up but not sitting down.
Important Rule of Unseen:
-When you hear about unseen in Quran or Hadeeth, it is alright to comprehend and understand it. But, DO NOT IMAGINE IT. because, obviously, it is nothing compared to your imagination
-Not all things that you comprehend, it is necessary that you have to imagine. For example, energy, gravity etc, you know all these exist, but you do not imagine it :)
