From my Wadu, my brothers and sisters, I want you to listen carefully. Today, myself, Brother Zahor, I don't know if he's here, Brother Asad, Brother Ali Khan from Baitus Salaam. We went to watch the body of a Muslim, the only Muslim in his family, a revert who had passed away. And I remember the body of a Muslim who was a Muslim, and he was the only Muslim in the family who had passed away. And I remember the body of a Muslim who was a Muslim. Time before this, when I watched the body that was about almost 25 plus years ago, maybe 97 or 98. We were in the masjid, and sheh Hussam got a call saying, this lady called and she said that, my husband has died. He was a nuclear failure. He was a nuclear failure. physician, and I can't recall whether it was Bay State or one of the other hospitals, but it's from this area. And he was playing, he was in his maybe 60, 50 and 60, and he was playing tennis, and he dropped dead on the court. So the wife said, I think he was Muslim, and I think he wanted to be buried as a Muslim. And he said, what do you mean? She asked, what do you mean? You thought he was a Muslim? Well, he's Syrian, and this is his name. Did you ever see him pray? No. Did he ever tell you about Islam? No. Do you have children? Yes, three children. The eldest one is 40 plus. Did he ever teach them anything about Islam? No. Did he teach you about Islam? No. No. He never taught them anything about Islam. So Sheikh said, well, as far as I'm concerned, he's not a Muslim, because he never prayed, and his family itself is saying he never taught them, told them anything about Islam. He never practiced Islam. So we cannot do the janazah for him. And that is the correct Islamic position. So I'm not criticizing Sheikh. This is the right way. But I asked him, I said, Sheikh, since this war, I'm not going to pray. Since this woman has called and asked and so on, do you have an objection if I go and do the salatul janazah? Sheikh said, no. You want to go, you go. You are on your own. So I said, okay. I collected the kafan and stuff from the masjid. Myself, if I'm not mistaken, if I remember correctly, Brother Rafiqawan, from who's now in Basra, and Brother Akbar Sheikh. You know, Akbar Azhar. Akbar Azhar. Akbar Azhar. Akbar Azhar. Akbar Azhar.

Very easy way. And I realized that today. So I thought let me share it with you. Everything you can see will not go with you. Very simple. Everything that you can see will not go with you. You can see your children. They won't go with you. You can see your wife or husband. They will not go with you. You can see your cars and your planes and your jets and your motorcycles and your fishing gear and your houses and your whatever. They will not go with you. Anything you can see will not go with you. What will go with you is what you cannot see. Which is the intentions with which you bought those things. The intentions. With which you acquired those things. The method in which you acquired that thing. Was the intention of with Ikhlas to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Was the method that you used. Was this method halal or haram? This will go. The thing will be here. Both ways. Suppose you build a big mosque. May Allah bless you. The mosque will be here. The mosque won't go with you. But the fact that you spent your money to build the mosque, this will go with you. So what you can see does not go with you. So I want to share with you. Something which somebody said to me. They said, don't worry about the world because it belongs to Allah. It's not yours. So what do you want to do? You want to build a mosque. But you don't want to worry about the world. Are you worried about brother Abdul Sattal's house? No. Why? It doesn't belong to you. It's his house. If his house is a leak, that's his problem, not my problem. So don't worry about the world because it does not belong to you. Belongs to Allah. Don't worry about rizq. Don't worry about your sustenance because it is from Allah. Allah says, وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْخُكُمْ وَمَا تُوَعْدُهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ He is the one, only. ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْبَتِيَةِ Don't worry about rizq because it is from Allah. Don't worry about the future because it is in the hands of Allah. знplate ?!" الت�جَه و شاكون والضبط آمنا lights ingredient marry nothing I was here, I was there, I was in this country, that country, I was 20 years old, I was 50 years old, whatever, right? I could do this, I could do that, today I can't do this, can't do, what now? Live in the past. It's a waste of time. Because the past is gone, it won't come back. If it was good, it went. If it was bad, it went. Won't come back. The second place where people live is in the future. You're living here, alhamdulillah, you have a nice house, nice family, no financial troubles, your health is good and so on, but you're thinking, what if I get Alzheimer's? What if there is a financial collapse? So we worry about that. We worry about? Yes. The future which has not come, and the future over which we have no control, zero control. But the thing which we have control on, which is today. Did I pray tahajjud today? Something in my control, I could have done it. If I had done it, it would be in my account, alhamdulillah, with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Did I pray salatul fajr in the masjid? By Jawah. Did I pray salatul fajr and sit there until the sun comes up, then I pray two plus two, four aqat of ishraq, and Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam said, you will get the sabaab of an accepted hajj and an accepted umrah. Did I do that? Because if I had done that, that accepted hajj and umrah is in my account. Nobody can steal it. Did I do that? I have a wife, I have a husband, I have children, how do I treat them? Am I spending time with my children in their tarbiyah? Or do I think that just giving them, throw money at them, you know, give them gadgets, give them money, and they are happy, I am happy. Which one? I am happy. Allah has given me some position, Allah has given me some authority. How am I using it? How will I use it? For benefit? To harm somebody? What do I do? I have got free time. What do I do with that time? Am I spending that free time in backbiting and gossiping and slandering and talking about all kinds of useless stuff? Or am I using that free time in earning benefit for myself? Which one? Think about all these things, because these are very important things. Yesterday I talked about using time and especially for, you know, the young people, I think this applies to everybody, but especially. So I said as far as I am concerned, think about this. I said how do I spend my free time?
