Now let me begin my khatira. The khatira today, the title is focus. And focus is important because without focus, there is no destination to reach.
Without focus, if you are in a shooting competition, you cannot shoot because you have no focus.
You can have the best weapon in the world, you can have the best bow and arrow, best gun, you won’t hit anything because you have no focus.
Focus is critically important. Now in life, what must you focus on?
You must focus on the questions that you will have to answer before Allah.
There is nothing that is more important than that.
This whole life is an exam. This whole life is an exam. You are living the exam.
And the passing and the failing is when you meet Allah.
Right?
The one who is freed from the hell fire and entered into Jannah, into Paradise, is the only one who is successful.
It’s not the one who had money, power, wealth, glory, whatnot, whatnot.
The Quran is full of stories of people who had all this and more. They had more than you can even imagine.
Yet they failed.
So, focus on the questions that will be asked. What are those questions? There are four questions.
Tell me anybody. What are the four questions? What is the first question?
No. No. No. On the Day of Judgment, I’m saying, who is your Rabba? The question is in the grave.
There are two kinds of questions. The Akhidah questions in the grave. The Amal questions on the Day of Judgment.
I’m assuming that you got through the Akhidah questions. On the Day of Judgment, you’re still not clear.
Day of Judgment, first question, yes.
Where you made your money and how you spent it?
One of the questions. Good. You’re halfway there. The first question is, what did you do with the time you had?
What did you do with the time you had?
Second question, what did you do with your youth? What did you do in your youth?
Third question, what did you do with your life?
That’s the first one. Third question, money. Where did you earn your money? Where did you spend the money?
And the fourth question, what did you do with the knowledge that was given to you?
Now in these four questions, what are you being asked about?
The quantity or what you did with it? Which one? Quality.
Allah is not asking how long did you live? Why did you die at 50? You should have lived for 100. No.
Your life has been given to you. What was given to you is given to you.
Just before Ramadan, we did a janaza for a child who was born and two or three hours later he died.
Date of birth and date of death is the same day.
But that child also will be resurrected. Obviously, the child has no sins.
So, in the dua of Makhfirat, we do not even say Allah Makhfir Lahoo because he has no sins.
But the point is even he will be resurrected.
So Allah will not ask how long did you live? Allah will say what did you do with the time?
I was doing zikr and I was also scrolling. That’s what I was doing.
And you know the scrolling was more interesting than your name and your zikr. So I was looking at the scroll.
You will say this. You will say it on the day of Jannah. If you don’t make istighfar and taubah
and you do not stop doing that, you will say this to your Lord.
You will say I am a Zikr or Lord. I made no mistake.
It’s not funny. It is not funny.
Religion is not funny.
It’s very serious.
What did you do with the time?
Then what did you do with your youth specifically because this is the time.
greatest energy, greatest power, you have money, you have all kinds of
shahwats, all kinds of desires and the means to fulfill them halal or haram
especially while living in an environment in countries where in the
name of freedom you can do whatever you want. Therefore, what did you do in your
youth? And that is why one of the seven who would be shaded under the shade of
the Arsh of Allah on the day when there is no shade except he’s shaded is the
youth who spent his time in obedience and dhikr of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. Not the old
person, the old person has what else will he do anyway? He’s sitting there on the edge of the
grave, both his legs are hanging in the grave, he knows, he’s going to drop just
now. But the youth? Third question, money. Allah will not ask did you make a million
dollars? How come Iran must get more money than you? You know the question.
Where did you earn from? That earning was it halal? And where did you spend it?
That place you spent it, was it a halal place to spend it? Not how much you made?
Right? Last question, what did you do with the knowledge that Allah gave you?
Allah will not ask did you memorize the Quran? Did you memorize the siha sitta?
Were you mufti adham of Egypt? How come you are not sheikh of haram sharif?
Whatever you know, whatever you knew, what did you do with that knowledge? Did you hold it?
Did you keep it to yourself? Did you say pay me then only I will teach you? Because Islam is also
nowadays a source of income, good income. You have commercialized the deen. You won’t talk unless
you are a religious person. You are a religious person. You are a religious person. You are a
You have commercialized the deen. You won’t talk unless scholars for dollars.
Pay phones, put money, he talks, otherwise he can’t talk.
Anybody who asks for money to glorify the name of his Rabb, according to me praying behind him is
haram, my fatwa. Because if we can’t talk about the glory and majesty of Allah without you paying
him, how does he lead salah? How does he give a khundam for juma?
You are selling our deen. That’s why there is no power in it. What did you do with the knowledge?
Allah gave you the knowledge, why did you do that? Did you use this knowledge for something positive?
Did you use the knowledge to help people to do things? Or have we done what we have done with
the knowledge today? Otherwise explain to me, how come we know all about the reasons for global warming,
but we are heading into global warming like an express trade? Why? Do you want survivors to go?
Elon Musk can probably go off to Mars. What about you? We have, we consider to be, Allah Allah,
if this is true or not historically, but we consider to have the finest and the most,
the best knowledge of medicine in the world. But there are people who are dying for lack of
medical care. Because Big Pharma makes the money, the insurance companies make the money,
people are not, they don’t have access to medical care if they don’t have insurance,
money to pay insurance. Yes or no? Why? How come we are the best universities in the world,
but yet you have ignorance of a level that is unmatched? We fund and we support every
oppressor in the world. Why? I can go on endlessly. You know why? Because today’s,
today’s society, the purpose for all of these things, the actual purpose has been corrupted.
The purpose of, for example, medical research and healthcare is not the care of people,
it is to make money. The purpose of, what was the first example I gave you, global warming and so
on, scientific research, is not to help the world. It is not to create better yielding crops,
but to have GMO stuff which ruins health, to make more money. The purpose of everything has been
dovetailed and focused to make money. That’s why everything got corrupted. And things which are
supposed to be of value do not have value because the reason they are done is only to make money.
It’s not to help people, not to help the sick, not to give jobs to people, not to put roofs over
people’s heads, people who don’t have homes, none of those things. It’s only to make money.
So therefore, even when there is an economic collapse as we had in this country after the
subprime crisis a few years ago, who walked away with the aid bills? The bankers, who were
responsible for the crisis in the first place? Who walked away with hundreds of millions of
dollars as cash prizes? The bankers. And we claim to be very intelligent, we claim to have
the best education in the world because of lack of focus. That is the reason why I say,
if the Day of Judgment were not the truth, Allah said,
If that was not the truth, human beings would have had to invent that as a philosophy to remain
sane. Because on the face of it, as we look at it, every single one of these people who are doing
all this is going to walk away free. But we know that nobody walks free. Nobody walks free.
A day will come when they will be called. Everyone will die.
Allah said,
Balakul Mawth has been set upon you and he will take your souls and he will bring you back to your
Rabb. And he said, O my Nabi, if you could see them on the Day of Judgment, they will be standing
before Allah, their heads hanging in shame. And they will say, our Rabb, we have seen,
and we have heard. Because they see their Lord on their throne, they will see the
Malak, the angels, the angels, millions of the angels. They will see the glory of Allah,
and His Jalal. Send us back and we will be good people. Allah said, no. This is a one-way street.
You are born, you live for a time, you die, you are resurrected, and then you go to Jannah or
Jahanam, wherever, may Allah save us from Jahanam and put us in Jannah, inshallah.
So I remind myself and you, our brothers and sisters, don’t waste your time.
We do not have time.
Do not waste your time.
Maximise this time, especially this time.
If you are still stuck in your phone, believe me, you have a disease.
That is a disease of the heart.
Cure yourself.
Cure yourself.
Put the phone, put it on the rock, take a hammer, tell someone to make a video of how
you smash an iPhone.
Right?
You can make money out of that video.
Seriously, because that is taking you to Jahanam.
May Allah protect you.
Please, don’t do this.
Focus on Allah.
Focus on the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Focus on the message of Muhammad Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to fill our hearts with His guidance.
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to fill our hearts with His kashiyah.
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to give us genuine peace and harmony and give us tranquility
in His house.
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to give us the sweetness, the huluwa of His salah, of
His prayer.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to open our hearts when we are praying to Him so that
we feel His closeness to us because He said,
fa’inni qarib, He is close to us and we ask Allah to enable us to feel that closeness.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to accept our duas.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to give us what we ask for with khair and barakah and
to add to it from His treasures.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala to protect us from ourselves and from the shaitan.
Wa sallallahu ala nabiyyil kareem wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajmain.
Bi rahmatika ya rahmatu wa rahim.
