Tasliman kathiran kathiran. My brothers and sisters, I went to visit the grave of my brother-in-law Akbar Jang. Absolutely wonderful human being. And I realized that this was the first time I came to Delhi when he was not there. The first time I came to Delhi was after I got married. And then every time I've come here, we have come and always stayed with them. My sister-in-law and Akbar Bhai. One of the nicest human beings that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to know. Extremely polite, very cultured, highly educated. A thinking person. And a person with whom you had, you know, he was very sociable. He would speak to anybody. I mean, he would speak to, from the greatest scholar to literally the, you know, the rickshaw puller. And he would do this. He would just walk around in the street and he would talk to anybody. You know, people who are selling something, he would stand there. He would talk to them in the most affectionate. And wonderful manner. He wouldn't sort of talk down to anybody. Very polite and very, very erudite. And you could speak to him literally on any subject on the face of the planet. He was a very well-read person. Very kind, very helpful. You know, thorough, thorough, thorough gentleman. And one of the best things that I can, that I remember about him was that in 40 years that I knew him. And I've, you know, we've lived with him. So, I've. You would have spoken in 40 years. I would have heard him speak for God knows how many hours. Not one single time did I ever hear him say anything negative about anybody else. Amazing. No. Never, never. Not one word of. Not one word of. Not one word of any casting, any aspersions on anybody. Any insinuations. Saying anything negative about. Not even once. In 40 years. Of. Of. We staying with them. They're coming and staying with us and so on. Absolutely fabulous human being. Akbar Ismail. And so, I went there to his khawar. And, of course, I make dua. May Allah make it easy for you. Allahumma khafirlahu wa rahamahu wa aafihi wa aafu anhu wa krim nuzulahu wa si mudkhalahu wa ghasilu ilmaaii wa althaljii wa albarad wa naqihihimina alqataya kamaa naqaitu thawbul abiyadu min al-danas. Allahumma adkhilahu fi jannatil firdausi laala bi ghairi hisaab. We ask Allah to bless him, to fill his khabar with nur, to forgive his sins, to grant him jandatul firdausul ala without his saab. We ask Allah to grant sabr to his family. We ask Allah to protect him from all the difficulties of the khabar and of the fire of Jahannam. We ask Allah to forgive his sins. Because Allah is Ghafoorul Rahim, He is Rahmanul Rahim. And there is no sin that anybody can do which is beyond Allah's forgiveness inshaAllah. And Alhamdulillah Akbar Wahi was a good Muslim and he died on Islam. We ask Allah to bless him and to help him in this time when the only one who can help us is Allah. Peace be upon you. see you will see a mound of sand and this is true for every one of us no matter how glorious and magnificent we might be in life when we die and we are buried a mound of sand is all that will remain and that's why the poet said he said the the mirage of life the truth about the mirage of life is this that as soon as your eyes shut you become a story from is you become was your name itself will disappear from people's tongues the moment you die because if you if you think about this when you go to somebody's janaza they will bring the janaza they will put it on one side and they will say that after the Salah after whichever fard Salah say Salatul Asr say after Salatul Asr there will be a Salatul janaza right Asr ki naaaz kay baad mein naaaz kay janaza padi jaaegi then after the Salah is over what will they say please form the safs for Salatul Janazah and then they will say bring the mayyat or bring the janazah, bring the mayyat they will not say bring Yaver Bhai, they will not say Sheikh Yaver to go either love no, they will say bring the mayyat so what happened to my name I mean the people who are saying bring the mayyat are people who know me, are people who are related to me, right, are people who love me inshallah but they will not say bring Sheikh Yaver, bring Yaver Bhai, bring Yaver no, they will say bring the mayyat my name is gone and I my body is not cold yet almost to that extent I have just been given ghusl and I have been clothed in my kafan and I am there I am not even in the ground and people have stopped using my name to the extent that if somebody says bring Sheikh Yaver here or bring Yaver Bhai here or bring Mr. Beg here people will say you have gone mad what are you saying, how do you say bring Mr. Beg Mr. Beg is dead, he is gone bring the janazah bring the body bring the mayyat and then you put the person in the grave now what goes into the grave, Rasulullah s.a.w. hadith, we all know this he said all the deeds of a person will end when he dies except three and what are the three sadaqah jaariyah whatever he has spent in the path of Allah s.w.t. as ongoing charity a pious son or daughter who will pray for him and this includes inshallah students and beneficial knowledge that he shared which will continue after him I ask Allah s.w.t. to include all of these fajr reminders and stuff in that so that I continue to get benefit of that after I have gone mad gone inshallah and ask and i once again ask all of you to make dua for me uh even now most welcome please thank you uh but definitely after i'm gone whenever that is that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala should forgive me and who should cover my sins and cover my faults and not humiliate me on the day of judgment and should should protect me from the azab of the khabar and the azab of nar and grant me jannatul firdaus in the company of rasulallah and i make the same dua for all of you and i request you to make this dua for me and for my wife the point i want to make my brothers sisters is i went to this uh khabaristan where akbar bhai is buried this is the same khabaristan in which shah waliullah is buried the man who's called the greatest scholar of the indian subcontinent you right the greatest scholar of the indian subcontinent he is uh he lived from 1703 to 1762 and his uh most famous book is uh which is the original is in arabic and uh one of the greatest uh books on on on islam so please do read it uh of course it's translated as well so this is shah waliullah in the in the in the story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story story is that all of them, today what do you find? Mounds of sand. So I remind myself and you, let us remember that the only thing that goes with us into our graves is our Aqidah, what did you believe, and our Amal. What did you do? Let us focus on that. Nothing else goes. Not our palaces and not our private planes and not our jets and not our yachts and not our bicycles and not our donkeys and not our, you know, whatever, right? Whether you are rich or poor, whether you are learned or not learned, whether you are beautiful or ugly or whatever, none of that goes with us into our graves. What goes with us into our graves in the Akhirah is what we believed in and our Amal and our actions. So let us make sure that we correct our beliefs, that our beliefs are free from Shirk, are free from Bidaat, are free from Kufr, that we believe in the Tawheed of Allah SWT and that we believe in the Tawheed of Allah SWT and that our deeds are all done for the pleasure of Allah. Not to hurt somebody, not to take advantage of somebody, not to, you know, do anything negative to somebody. Please understand, the worst of the sins are the sins that are done against the people. And if you have taken somebody's right and if you have oppressed somebody and if you have denied somebody what you should have given them and so on, my brothers and sisters, please understand that that person will be there before the throne of Allah SWT when you are presented and that person will demand his right and his right will be given by the power of Allah SWT and there is nothing you can do to stop that and you will be paying for that after that in wherever Allah decides to put you. I don't want to complete that sentence. We know what Rasulullah SAW said. Remember the Hadith of the Salah and remember the Hadith of the death. When the Prophet said, he asked the Sahaba, who are the destitute? They said, O Rasulullah, the destitute are those who have no dinar. The Prophet said, no, destitute are those who will come before Allah SWT with good deeds like mountains. But there will be people, a line of people standing and waiting for them and when they come there, these people will demand their rights because this person who came with all of these good deeds will be also a person,
