Venue Masjid Taqwa Summary Main Topic
The acceptance of Islam by key Quraish figures after Fatih Makkah (Conquest of Makkah)—specifically Abu Kuhafa, Safwan ibn Umayyah, and Suhail ibn Amr—followed by spiritual reflections on the suddenness of death and preparation for the Akhirah.
Key Lessons
Prophetic Humility and Respect for Elders : Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) displayed extreme humility when Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) brought his aged, blind father Abu Kuhafa to accept Islam, remarking that he would have gladly walked to the elderly man's house instead.Selfless Love for Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) : Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) exemplified fana fir-Rasool by stating that Abu Talib's acceptance of Islam would have brought him greater joy than his own father's conversion, because it would have made the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) happier.Recognition of Truth Through Generosity : Safwan ibn Umayyah realized the authenticity of Prophethood after witnessing Rasulullah's (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) extraordinary generosity following the Battle of Hunain.Spiritual Precedence Over Worldly Status : Suhail ibn Amr (Radhiyallahu anhu) corrected Quraish leaders who complained when former slaves were granted audience before them by Hazrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu), reminding them that those who hastened to Islam first hold true honor.Vigilance Regarding Death : The lecturer draws an analogy from a contemporary event to emphasize how humans obsess over worldly ambitions while death (Mawt ) stalks them unexpectedly.
Quranic/Hadith References
Rulings on Dyeing Hair : Guidance from Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to Abu Kuhafa to dye his white hair while avoiding black dye.Taking Good Omens (Tafa'ul ) : Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) deriving a positive expectation from Suhail's name (meaning "ease") at Hudaybiyah.Surah Yunus (10:62) : "Ala inna awliya Allahi la khawfun 'alayhim wa la hum yahzanun" (Unquestionably, for the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve), explaining how the pious will be protected from the terrors of Qiyamah.
Practical Advice
Ensure hair dye uses henna or brown shades, avoiding black or excessively dark tones that mimic black.

— Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:06 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:07 Ya Rabbi salli wa sallim da'iman abada ala habibika khairil khalki kullihimi. 0:18 We had discussed the incident of Fatih Makkah with the fazal of Allah Ta'ala. 0:23 And also those people whom Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam had issued or given instruction that they must be put to death. 0:33 Some of them later on accepted Islam and a few of them were put to death. 0:39 Now we come to a few prominent people who had accepted Islam on the occasion of Fatiha Makkah. 0:45 The first is Abu Kuhafa. 0:49 This is the incident concerning the father of Hazrat Abu Bakr. 0:54 The mother of Hazrat Abu Bakr. 0:56 She had embraced Islam before Hijrat. 1:00 The father of Hazrat Abu Bakr. 1:02 He only embraced Islam on the occasion of Fatiha Makkah. 1:07 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam was in the Haram Sharif when Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a brought his old father. 1:16 He was very old now. 1:18 And he brought him to Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:21 And he made him sit in front of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:24 And we know that he was already very poor. 1:28 His eyesight was very poor. 1:32 He was of advanced age. 1:35 So when he came, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is telling Hazrat Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala, So why didn't you leave the elderly man? 1:50 You should have left him at home. 1:52 I would have come to him. 1:53 I would have come to the house. 1:56 Imagine Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam's character, his humility. 2:02 Hazrat Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala replied. 2:05 He is saying, Ya Rasulullah. 2:07 Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 2:09 Huwa ahakku ayyamshi ilayka min antamshi ilayhi anta. 2:17 It is more befitting that he walk to you than you walk to him. 2:26 You are the Rasul of Allah. 2:29 He is the one who needs Iman. 2:31 He needs Islam. 2:33 Although he is my father, he is of advanced age, etc. 2:37 But he, it is only rightful that he shows respect to you. 2:41 You are the Rasul of Allah Ta'ala. 2:45 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam then placed his Mubarak hand on the chest of Hazrat Abu Qohafa radiallahu ta'ala and the father of Hazrat Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala and made him recite the Karimah. 3:02 So he recited the Karima and like this he embraced Islam. 3:06 Due to his old age, his entire facial hair, his beard, his moustache, his eyebrows, everything was white. 3:20 Everything was white. 3:24 And his hair on his head also was white. 3:28 So Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam told him. 3:32 He said. 3:36 Go and change this. 3:39 Go and dye it. 3:41 Go and dye your hair. 3:43 Put some dye. 3:44 But don't use black dye. 3:48 Rasulullah told him, go and dye your hair. 3:50 Go and put something. 3:52 Change this white hair. 3:53 But don't put black dye. 3:55 And this is the masra that it is permissible to dye one's hair. 4:04 Be it the hair of the head, whatever. 4:06 But we are not allowed to use black dye. 4:10 And if we are using a brown dye also, then we must... 4:14 Ensure that it is not a dark brown dye where the hair starts, looks black after that. 4:20 It's looking more black than brown. 4:23 This is incorrect. 4:24 To dye the hair a brown color or using mehendi or something, this is fine. 4:30 In fact, Nabi Akadim sallallahu alayhi wasallam encouraged this. 4:35 Allama Halabi rahmatullahi writes, 4:38 That when Hazrat Abu Kuhafar r.a embraced Islam, Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam congratulated Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a. 4:48 So obviously now his father has embraced Islam. 4:51 How happy he would be. 4:52 So Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a replied, he said, Ya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, I take an oath on Allah ta'ala's name. 5:05 That if Abu Taulib accepted Islam, that would have made me happier than my father accepting Islam. 5:16 In other words, the Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam would have been so happy if Abu Taulib accepted Islam. 5:24 And Hazrat Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala had become so fana fil rasool sallallahu alayhi wasallam 5:30 That more important to him was the happiness of Rasulullah s.a.w. 5:36 than his own happiness. 5:38 He was happy his father accepted Islam. 5:40 He said if Abu Ta'arib accepted Islam, that would have made me happier. 5:45 Why? 5:45 Because that would have made you happier. 5:52 So this was the embracing of Islam of Hazrat Abu Qahafa r.a. and the father of Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a. 6:01 We now move on to Safwan ibn Umayyah. 6:05 Safwan ibn Umayyah was from among the Quraish leaders. 6:09 He was well known for his generosity. 6:12 Very generous person. 6:15 His family excelled in his generosity and hospitality. 6:18 It was known that any traveler, any stranger, anybody that requires a meal, etc., 6:27 Go to the house of Safwan ibn Umayyah. 6:30 He will feed you. 6:31 There will be some food there and he will feed you. 6:36 His father Umayyah bin Khalaf was killed in the battle of Badr. 6:43 You remember the story of Umayyah bin Khalaf? 6:46 His wife was telling him don't go and 6:52 Others came and encouraged him, told him he must go, etc. 6:55 So he was killed on the day of the Battle of Badr. 7:00 On the day when Fatah Makkah took place, Safwan, he fled to Jeddah. 7:08 Ran away to Jeddah. 7:10 His cousin, Umair ibn Wahab, came to Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he sought aman, he sought sanctuary for Safwan ibn Umairah. 7:22 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave him sanctuary. 7:26 And in order to demonstrate this, he gave him his amama and his shawl as well. 7:34 As a sign that you have come from me. 7:37 Go to Safwan. 7:39 Tell him that I have given sanctuary for him. 7:42 And show him these relics. 7:43 Show him my amama. 7:44 Show him my shawl. 7:46 So he knows that you came from me. 7:49 Umair went to Jeddah. 7:51 And he brought Safwan ibn Ubayyah to Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 7:57 Safwan said to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that Umair over here tells me that you have given sanctuary for me. 8:05 This is what news he has given me. 8:07 Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam replied in the affirmative. 8:10 He says, yes, we have granted you safety. 8:14 Safwan said, give me some respite. 8:18 Give me about two months. 8:21 Let me think properly over this matter of Islam. 8:24 Do I want to accept Islam or what I want to do? 8:28 Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam told him, I give you four months. 8:33 You ask him for two months. 8:35 I give you four months respite. 8:36 No problem. 8:39 So he didn't embrace Islam immediately. 8:42 However, 8:44 He accompanied Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam on the Battle of Hunain. 8:49 The Battle of Hunain took place after this. 8:51 So although he didn't accept Islam, but he went with Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam for the Battle of Hunain. 8:58 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam had borrowed some coats of armor from him. 9:06 From Safwan ibn Umayyah. 9:07 He borrowed some coats of armor. 9:08 Because obviously they were out now. 9:10 They were not at home. 9:11 Certain people probably required some coats of armor. 9:14 Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam borrowed it from him. 9:17 On reaching Hunayn, he said, I would prefer someone from the Quraysh seeing to me than someone from the Hawazin. 9:33 On returning from Hunayn, 9:36 Rasul-e-Paq gave him a large number of goats. 9:43 On seeing this large number of goats, Subhan said, I take an oath by Allah that only a true prophet can be so generous. 9:55 Somebody who is not a prophet can't be so generous. 9:58 To give away so much just like that. 10:00 This only a prophet of Allah Ta'ala can do. 10:03 Now he was a generous person himself. 10:06 But when you see the generosity of Nabi Karim Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 10:10 This is generosity of another level. 10:14 On saying this, he embraced Islam. 10:18 So he is two months, four months, whatever. 10:21 Just couple days and he embraced Islam. 10:26 We now come to Suheil ibn Amr. 10:29 He was from among the noblemen and the leaders of Mecca Mukarrama. 10:34 He was popularly known by the title of Khatib-e-Quresh. 10:39 He was the orator from amongst the Quresh. 10:44 When he came as an ambassador on behalf of the Quresh on the occasion of Hudaybiyah, Nabi-e-Karim saw him 10:55 And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, قَدْ سَهَّلَ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam took a naqfali, naqfal from his coming. 11:05 That Allah Ta'ala will now make your matter become easy. 11:08 Because his name is Suhail. 11:10 It comes from the root word which means ease. 11:15 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam said that Allah Ta'ala will now make the matter easy. 11:19 Because Suhail has come. 11:22 On the day of Fatiha Makkah, Suhail sent his brother Abdullah to Rasul-e-Paak sallallahu alayhi wasallam in order to ask him for sanctuary. 11:32 Nabi-e-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave him sanctuary and addressed the Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala anhum and he said to them, whoever meets Suhail, if you see Suhail anywhere, so don't even look at him with anger. 11:52 Such Aman was given to him. 11:54 Nabi S.A.W. 11:56 If you see him, don't even look at him with anger. 12:00 I take an oath on my life that Suhail is an intelligent person. 12:05 And he is a noble person. 12:07 A person like Suhail will not remain ignorant of Islam. 12:11 Shortly he will become Muslim. 12:13 Once he sees the beauty of Deen, he will accept Islam. 12:17 Suhail did not embrace Islam immediately. 12:20 But he too joined Nabi Akadim sallallahu alayhi wasallam for the battle of Hunain. 12:25 And he accepted Islam at a place called Ja'ir Rana. 12:28 This is a place where Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam had camped. 12:31 All the booty etc. 12:32 was kept here. 12:32 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam had camped here. 12:35 So at this place he accepted Islam. 12:38 He took an oath. 12:42 He took an oath that just as he had joined the Mushrikeen in waging war against the Muslims. 12:48 He will now join the Muslims in waging jihad against the mushrikeen. 12:54 And the amount of wealth which he spent on the side of the mushrikeen, he will now spend that amount of wealth being a Muslim for the cause of Islam. 13:08 On one occasion, there was a crowd of people at the door of Hazrat Umar. 13:14 People were waiting to see him. 13:17 Suheil ibn Amr. 13:19 Abu Sufyan. 13:21 Radiallahu anuma. 13:23 And other Quraish leaders were also present. 13:27 When the guard was informed, when the guard was informed of this, Suheil radiallahu ta'alaan, Bilal radiallahu ta'alaan, and other Sahaba radiallahu anum who had participated in the Battle of Badr were called inside. 13:46 Right? 13:47 Suhail Abu Sufyan and the other leaders of the Quraish were left outside. 13:53 So Abu Sufyan made a statement. 13:56 He said, I have not come across a day like this. 14:01 Slaves are called inside while no attention is being paid to us. 14:06 They were leaders. 14:07 They were always in the limelight. 14:11 Always given preference. 14:13 But here in the court of Hazrat Umar r.a, there is justice. 14:17 Hazrat Bilal r.a, Hazrat Suhaib r.a, Hazrat Umar r.a calls them first. 14:25 And these people are made to wait the line. 14:28 They must wait their turn. 14:30 So he said, I've never seen a day like this. 14:36 So Suhail r.a, he replied to Abu Sufyan. 14:43 And the answer that he gave is such an answer that should be inscribed on our hearts. 14:54 He said, O people, he's addressing now Abu Sufyan and the other leaders of the Quraysh there. 15:02 He says, O people, I take an oath by Allah that I see displeasure and anger on your faces. 15:11 That we have been left outside and these people who we regarded as slaves whom we were punishing and all that they have gone in. 15:19 They have been given preference over us. 15:21 So I see this displeasure and anger on your faces. 15:27 He says instead of showing anger at others you should be angry with your own selves. 15:34 Be angry with yourselves. 15:39 Those people 15:40 Were invited towards Islam. 15:43 I mean the slaves. 15:45 They were invited towards Islam. 15:47 And so were you. 15:49 You too were invited. 15:51 On hearing the call to Islam, they hastened towards it. 15:57 While you turned away and you remained behind. 16:02 I take an oath that the honour and virtue that these people have 16:08 And your lack of this honour and virtue is far more severe than your being deprived of the honour of gaining entrance in this door of Umar r.a over which you are so envious. 16:27 O people, these people have surpassed you as you can see right before your eyes. 16:35 Now there is no way that you can achieve this honor and virtue. 16:40 You can never become a Badri sahabi. 16:42 You can never become a Muhajir. 16:45 You can never become from As-sabiqoon al-awwaloon. 16:49 That honor all they got. 16:51 They got all that honor. 16:53 Because when the call to Islam was made, they hastened. 16:57 They went quickly. 16:59 You wanted to stay behind. 17:00 You were insulting. 17:02 You were fighting against Islam. 17:04 Fighting against Rasul-e-Paak sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the Sahaba radiyallahu anhu. 17:09 These people they accepted in the early days. 17:12 So Allah Ta'ala has given them this honour. 17:15 Now you worried about who entered the door of Umar radiyallahu anhu first. 17:20 What you should be more concerned about is who entered the door of Islam first. 17:24 That's what he's telling them. 17:25 He's saying that honour of being the first ones to enter the door of Islam, that you'll never get now. 17:31 Entering the door of Hazrat Umar, you'll get a chance. 17:35 They'll come out, you'll go, your turn will come. 17:38 But that what we let it slip from our hands, that we're never going to get again. 17:44 That is gone. 17:48 Now there is no way that you can achieve this honor and virtue. 17:52 If there is any way of making up for this loss, it is only through waging jihad in the cause of Allah Ta'ala and laying your lives in the path of Allah Ta'ala. 18:05 Rather prepare for this. 18:08 Give your life for the deen of Allah. 18:10 Maybe then you'll be able to make up for lagging behind. 18:15 It is not unlikely that Allah Ta'ala will bless you with the bounty of shahadat. 18:22 The bounty of martyrdom. 18:27 Suhail completed his heart-rendering speech, dusted himself, and immediately stood up to wage jihad in the cause of Allah . 18:40 He left for Syria, 18:46 Together with his family members in order to fight the Romans. 18:51 And he was martyred in the battle of Yarmouk. 18:55 According to some narration they say he passed away in the plague of Amwas. 19:00 The plague of Amwas. 19:02 I explained that to you all when we were doing the explanation of those slides on Jordan and Palestine and all of that. 19:14 Nevertheless, he achieved his goal because passing away in a plague is also a death of Shahadat. 19:21 So whether he passed away in the Battle of Yarmouk or he passed away in the plague of Amwas, both ways he achieved his goal which was Shahadat. 19:32 A few others. 19:34 Morning, Shahana. 19:35 Try to discuss it next week. 19:37 There's something that has made headlines. 19:40 And I was just thinking of this whole incident and lot of lessons coming out of there for us to take a lesson from it. 19:53 Over the weekend or something, there was some surfing championship competition taking place, you know. 20:02 So one surfer was here from Australia. 20:06 He was in Cape Town in Jefferies Bay. 20:12 And while he was on his surfboard, he was taking part in the finals, defending his championship title. 20:22 So while he is on his surfboard, one great white shark 20:32 Was coming from the back. 20:36 He is on his board. 20:37 That shark must have been timing him for a while. 20:41 He doesn't know anything. 20:45 And the shark came right behind him. 20:50 Fin is out of the water. 20:53 Everybody can see the fin of the shark. 20:57 But he is totally oblivious to it. 21:00 Shark is right behind him. 21:02 A meter or two meters or something behind him. 21:05 Fun is out of the water also. 21:08 He is looking in the opposite direction. 21:11 What he is looking at? 21:15 He is waiting for a wave. 21:18 He is waiting for a big wave. 21:21 Because he wants to defend his championship title. 21:27 He wants the glory of all the cameras. 21:31 He wants to be on the cover of the different magazines, newspapers. 21:37 He wants the money that will go with it. 21:40 And the royalties that he will earn. 21:42 All that is going through his head. 21:45 The last thing on his mind is that two meters behind me there is a great white shark that can just put an end to all my dreams in a split second. 21:56 So one ibrat that we take from there. 21:59 One great lesson. 22:01 Is that that man on the surfboard is us in our lives. 22:07 Moth is right behind us. 22:09 When the angel of death is going to come, we don't know. 22:12 Our name may be already on the list. 22:15 We don't even know if we're going to reach home. 22:17 We don't know we're going to see tomorrow morning. 22:19 We don't know when we're going to pass away. 22:22 But that's the last thing on our mind. 22:25 We're waiting for the next wave. 22:28 The next challenge. 22:29 We got so many things we're looking forward to in our life. 22:32 But we're not preparing for this moat that may well be right behind us. 22:40 And how all those people on the shore, in the helicopters, in the life savers boats and jet skis and whatever, they're all looking at the shark. 22:57 Hmm? 22:59 And if only we can save this fellow. 23:03 His mother is looking in the television there, you know, saying, I want to pull my son out of the TV. 23:09 If only I could pull him out of the water there. 23:12 Because she can see the fin there. 23:13 She's watching her son. 23:15 And see the shark is right there behind him. 23:17 She said, if only I could pull him out. 23:20 Like that, the malaika, they must be looking at us. 23:24 Look at this bevukuf. 23:27 He is worried about 23:29 That new shop and that new house and that new car and that new woman and that... 23:34 Some person is worried about worldly ambitions. 23:38 Another person is planning guna. 23:41 He is worried about making zina with a woman and he doesn't know the angel of death is right here behind him. 23:49 He is worried about this pretty woman here. 23:51 I am bumping into her. 23:53 How I can get her phone number? 23:55 How I can get to know her? 23:56 How I can commit zina with her? 23:59 But the angel of death is right here behind him that he doesn't know about. 24:04 He's got a date with death and he's thinking about how to make a date with this woman. 24:13 So that is one lesson we take. 24:16 One lesson we take from there. 24:20 That don't get so caught up like this person. 24:23 He is so caught up that he is right there behind him. 24:26 But he is still looking in the other direction. 24:28 He doesn't even know. 24:32 The second lesson we take from this is that Allah Ta'ala is a protector. 24:42 Allah Ta'ala is a protector. 24:45 You see this person, the shark was looking at his bod. 24:52 The shark knocked him off but it went for the bod. 24:56 It didn't go for him. 24:58 It was looking at the board. 25:00 He is right there in the water. 25:04 Right next to a great white shark. 25:08 He can see the fins, everything. 25:12 And he is being pulled under water. 25:14 Because that shark is taking the board. 25:19 But Allah Ta'ala decreed that he must have Hayati. 25:25 He could have drowned in the water. 25:26 The shark could have bit him. 25:28 So many things could have happened. 25:30 He could have had a heart attack also. 25:31 I mean, it's not an easy thing. 25:34 You see a shark like that. 25:35 He could have had a heart attack also. 25:40 But Allah Almighty decreed that he must survive. 25:44 Without a scratch. 25:47 He's gone right, what you say, into the jaws of death. 25:50 And come out without a scratch. 25:55 This is Allah Paak's qudrat. 25:59 If Allah Paak wants to save a person, Allah Paak will save a person. 26:03 And if Allah Paak wants harm to come to a person, harm will come to a person. 26:10 That is the second ibrat we take. 26:13 The third lesson we take is, look at insan's rebellion. 26:22 You see, 26:24 When the shark took the board, so his leg was attached to the board, so it took him down with, but now the strength of that shark, the speed with which it moves, so it snapped the rope, so he managed to come up and he swam and then the safety boats came and picked him up or whatever. 26:49 But at that time, 26:51 When he was going down and when he's seeing the shark, he must have been the most scared person under the sun at that moment. 27:03 Whether he thought of saying a prayer or whatever at that time. 27:07 But you see later on, now when you're out into the arms of safety, then our arrogance comes in. 27:18 Noah fisted it on its back. 27:20 And I did this and I did that. 27:24 What can you do against that mahluk of Allah? 27:27 Nothing. 27:29 This is exactly our situation also. 27:33 When we go through some difficulty, some problem, then we think of Allah. 27:42 But when Allah Ta'ala takes us out of that problem, 27:46 And Allah Almighty then blesses us with prosperity, good health, wealth, whatever it is. 27:52 Then we become arrogant. 27:54 We forget what it was like there. 27:57 In a short moment we forget what it was like over there. 28:03 Then we think we are riding the crest of a wave. 28:05 Now nothing can happen to me now. 28:07 So now arrogance sets in. 28:11 So we mustn't allow for this to happen. 28:14 We must maintain our humility. 28:17 Think of the Qudrat of Allah, Rabbul Izzet. 28:22 So these are a few lessons we can take from this. 28:26 From this incident. 28:33 Because it's been in the papers. 28:34 It's like a big story at present. 28:41 So we as believers 28:43 We don't just get carried away with stories. 28:46 We take an ibrat from a story. 28:49 What lesson can I take from here? 28:54 The biggest lesson I feel for us all is that this man, he is looking in front, he is waiting for the wave, he has got all this glory, everything in his mind, what was going to happen? 29:08 And he is not realizing that right behind him, 29:12 There is a predator that has its sights on him. 29:18 Like that we are just carrying on in our dunyavi chakkar. 29:22 We are not thinking Malakar Mot can be right here behind us. 29:27 We don't know which second Malakar Mot is going to take us. 29:35 And another example that came to my mind is 29:43 You see, we always come across this hadith sharif. 29:47 Right? 29:48 That on the day of Qiyamat, some people, according to their guna, according to their sins, they will be standing in perspiration up to their ankles. 30:03 Some people will be standing in perspiration up to their knees. 30:08 The sun will be brought down. 30:10 It will be just a mile above their heads. 30:15 And some people will be in perspiration up to the waist. 30:20 And some people will be in perspiration up to the mouth. 30:25 Right? 30:26 So this is according to the guna. 30:30 But sometime, you will get a broad-minded foolish person who will ask a question. 30:36 He will say that, but how come? 30:41 I mean the sun is one mile away. 30:45 Everybody is standing in the same spot. 30:47 How come one person is going to have perspiration up to his ankle? 30:50 One person is going to have perspiration up to his knees. 30:54 One person up to the waist. 30:55 One person up to the mouth. 30:57 Now we will say Allah can do anything. 31:00 Allah can do anything. 31:02 But nowadays with broad minded people, then sometime you have to think of some example to explain to them. 31:11 So, the example that came to mind. 31:18 You take the waters of the ocean, right? 31:21 Take the waters of the ocean. 31:23 So many, so much of water there. 31:25 Unlimited water. 31:29 You get a person on a surfboard. 31:33 Somebody who is on a surfboard. 31:37 He will be getting wet with the water from the ocean. 31:42 Head to toe. 31:45 He's only on a surfboard. 31:48 It's the same water of the ocean. 31:50 Same proximity he is to the water. 31:54 As compared to someone on a jet ski. 31:58 Someone on a jet ski. 31:59 He's also on the same ocean. 32:01 Same amount of water. 32:02 Everything. 32:04 But he won't get as wet as a person on a surfboard. 32:10 And if you take a person who is in a fishing boat, a deep sea fishing boat. 32:19 So he too is on the same water, everything. 32:22 But he will get less wet in comparison to a person on a jet ski. 32:29 Right? 32:31 And now you take a person who is in the comfort of a luxury liner. 32:37 I am not saying you must go on luxury liner. 32:39 But the person is in the comfort of a luxury liner. 32:45 This person, you won't blame him if he even forgets he is on the ocean. 32:53 You won't blame him if he even forgets he is on the ocean. 32:57 Although he is on the same ocean. 32:59 Right? 33:00 But he is having a good sleep. 33:02 He is eating nicely. 33:04 You ask that fellow on the fishing boat. 33:07 Offer him some samosa, bhaja. 33:09 He says, hey bhai. 33:10 You don't want food here. 33:12 We bring up and all that. 33:14 We need what they call those things? 33:19 Risk ban. 33:22 We need fisherman's friend. 33:23 We need... 33:28 Some heavy tablets. 33:30 All these things. 33:31 Everything they take so you don't get sick, you know. 33:34 Say, I'm going to eat samosa and bajja. 33:36 I'll get sick. 33:38 The person on the jet ski, can he have a meal? 33:41 Can he have a sleep? 33:42 The person on the surfboard. 33:44 But the person who's in the luxury liner, 33:47 He will sleep. 33:48 He will eat. 33:51 Everything he's doing. 33:51 He's even playing sport. 33:53 He's having a game of tennis. 33:56 He's going for a jog. 33:57 Everything he's doing. 33:59 You won't blame him if he even forgets he's on the ocean. 34:04 Like that. 34:05 Ala inna uliya Allah. 34:08 La khawfun alayhim wa lahum yahzanoon. 34:12 Although the awliya Allah, the pious friends of Allah Ta'ala, they too will be there on the day of Qiyamah. 34:17 The sun will be there one mile above their heads also. 34:20 But you won't blame them if they even forget they are on the plains of Qiyamah. 34:24 They will be sitting in the shade of Allah Ta'ala's Arsh. 34:27 They will be eating, drinking, relaxing, talking. 34:31 This whole naqi and all the fear and the experience of the Qiyamah that other people are experiencing, they won't even feel it. 34:42 There will be a different enjoyment altogether. 34:46 Although they are in the same place. 34:49 So this example can help us to understand how on Qiyamat day everybody is on the same field of resurrection. 34:57 But how different people will be affected in different ways. 35:02 Different people are affected in different ways. 35:06 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from amongst those who will be seated in the shade of His Arsh. 35:13 SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi. 35:16 Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdik. 35:18 Nashhadu an la ilaha illa anta nastaghfiruka wa natubu ilaih. 35:24 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Never envy others' worldly privileges; instead, focus on being among those who hasten toward good deeds (As-Sabiqoon ).
Regularly reflect on death to prevent worldly distractions, wealth accumulation, and sinful desires from blinding you to the Hereafter.
Maintain humility and gratitude during times of safety and prosperity rather than becoming proud after escaping trials.
