Don't Fear Death!

Sheikh Muhammad ba Jamaal حفظه الله said in the Dars (lesson) yesterday:

"Don't fear death!! Death will reach you wherever you are. What you have to fear is being in the state of disbelief and disobedience when death approaches you. If Allaah has written your death and you are upon His obedience, you will be saved from the greatest of losses (Hell-Fire). Therefore, I advise my brothers not to leave off the worship of Allaah in the Masjid but to increase in worship, dua and obedience."

Note: (Praying in Masjid if you are permitted to do so in the country you reside in due to the spread of the virus)

(Sheikh from Sayoon, Yemen)

Place DEATH within your sight

 

Ibnu Jawzee (رحمه الله) said:

It is incumbent upon the sensible person to make preparations for his departure (from this world), for indeed he neither knows when the command of his Lord will descend nor when he will be called back. Indeed, I see many people deceived by youthfulness, forgetful of the loss of companions and infatuated with prolonged expectations.

And it may be that a scholar who is solely interested in himself says, "I will seek knowledge today and act upon it tomorrow.’’ So he becomes lackadaisical with regards to committing mistakes due to comfort and delayed by the hope that he will accomplish repentance, and he neither keeps away from backbiting nor from listening to it. The one who falls into something that resembles the truth but is not entirely the truth, then let him wipe it away by staying away from the things he fears will ruin the affairs of his afterlife.

What Is Beneath the Graves Is Known Only to the Knower of the Unseen..!

Question addressed to Sheikh Uthaimeen رحمه الله: Is the torment of the grave one of the matters of the unseen or of the seen world? What is the reason why it is made one of the matters of the unseen?

Answer: The torment of the grave is one of the matters of the unseen. How many people in these graves are being tormented but we do not realize it, and how many of their neighbors' are being blessed with a door opened for them to Paradise, but we do not realize it? What is beneath the graves is known only to the Knower of the Unseen. The torment of the grave is one of the matters of the unseen, and were it not for the revelation that came to the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم, we would not know anything about it.

What happens after one dies?

Know, O slave of Allaah!

Your deeds are the means to your success or your destruction in the Hereafter... 

So, think carefully about your future!

Your health & your strength cannot save you from the punishment of the grave;

nor your wealth, family & tribesmen can aid you in the standing before your Lord 

on the Day of Judgment;

 nor will the tears of your loved ones benefit you when your deeds are 

placed on the scale. 

So, fear your lord and look to your deeds and seek not but the pleasure of Allaah!

Wasting time is worse than death...

Ibnul Qayyim Al- Jawziyyah said:

"Wasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allaah."
