Q & A
What does the speaker emphasize about questioning and accountability after death?
-The speaker emphasizes that everyone will be questioned by Allah after death, including the prophets and those who followed them. Actions will determine whether one goes to heaven or hell, and the speaker stresses the importance of being prepared for this questioning.
How does the speaker define 'true love' for one's family?
-The speaker defines true love not as providing material needs like animals do, but as guiding family members toward salvation and protecting them from hellfire. True love is spiritual care, not just physical provision.
What does the speaker mean by saying 'death is not the real separation'?
-The speaker explains that death is a temporary separation, as all souls will be reunited in the afterlife. The real separation occurs if one loved one goes to heaven and another to hell, which is the ultimate and permanent divide.
What is the speaker's view on the ownership of wealth?
-The speaker explains that people are not the true owners of their wealth. Wealth is considered a trust from Allah, and people will be questioned on how they earned and spent it. If it were truly theirs, they would not be accountable for its use.
How does the speaker use the analogy of a speed limit to explain disobedience?
-The speaker compares breaking Allah's rules with exceeding a speed limit. Just as you can break the speed limit but face punishment if caught, you can disobey Allah's rules, but you will ultimately face punishment for it.
Why does the speaker mention that wealth is a 'trust' from Allah?
-Wealth is described as a trust because it belongs to Allah, and He has given it to people with specific rules on how to manage it. People are rewarded for following these rules and punished if they violate them.
What does the speaker say about paying zakat and its effects?
-The speaker explains that paying zakat, or obligatory charity, does not reduce one’s wealth. Instead, it leads to greater blessings and protection from future harm, even if the person doesn't immediately see these benefits.
What analogy does the speaker use to explain the futility of hearing without action?
-The speaker uses the analogy of a funnel, which allows oil to pass through but retains none of it. Similarly, hearing Allah's message without acting on it is like being a funnel—benefiting from nothing.
Why does the speaker mention perfuming money before giving it to the needy?
-The speaker recounts a story of a woman who would perfume money before giving it to the needy, believing that it first touches the hand of Allah before reaching the person. This symbolizes respect and reverence for charity.
What does the speaker say about the role of the mosque and its upkeep?
-The speaker highlights the importance of financially supporting the mosque, emphasizing that the mosque requires funds for maintenance, just like any other institution. He urges people to recognize the value of the mosque and contribute regularly.
Outlines
🙏 Reflecting on the Afterlife and Accountability
This paragraph emphasizes the certainty of death, resurrection, and judgment. The speaker swears by Allah that everyone will face questioning in the afterlife, highlighting the importance of being prepared for the answers based on one's actions.

Allah subhanahu
waala swearing
and saying
surely we are going to question the
prophets and we are going to question
Those whom we send the prophets
to and that's why I swear by Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala
that me and you are going to leave
sooner or later and I swear by Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala that we will die
and I swear by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
that we will be resurrected and I swear
by Allah subhanahu wa taala will be
question and the question is are you
prepared for the
answers did you prepare
based and according to your
answers that is based on your
actions one of the
two either you go to
heaven or you go to
hell may Allah subhah wa tala protect
us brothers and sisters
for
[Music]
when we
say you're not together with the one you
love or you are not together because
you're
[Music]
traveling you're not together with those
you
love so some people think this is the
real
separation even some people think that
death is the real celeb separation but
rather death is not a real separation
because we separate in this dun but we
are united in the Hereafter when Allah
subhana tala gathers everyone for
questioning the real
separation is when you find yourself and
the one you
love one in heaven and one in hell that
is the real
separation and that is
why a true person
a true person who loves his children who
loves his
spouse is not the person who provides
for them everything they need animals do
that but it is when you provide for them
what saves them from
Hellfire that is the
one whom you call a person who truly
loves
you brothers and
[Music]
sisters I love the way Allah subhanahu
waala presented this
ay for those people who say
[Music]
some people said oh life is just you
live and you die and what causes all of
that is time and
D Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says do you
think that I have created you in
vain do you you think that all of this
universe all of this
creation is for a
game that's why Allah
[Music]
we did not create Heavens seven heavens
and seven Earth for mere
Amusement you think you're created for
just creation for nothing you think you
have no task you think that that you are
not going to be commanded you think that
there is no dos and
don'ts glory be to Allah subhah wa taala
the most high to do something like that
even a human being would not
do so brothers and
sisters work
all of your work and action will be
presented and Allah subhana wa tala will
see the prophets will see and the
Believers will see what you are doing
and seeing what you are doing right
now question that I will pose to you
brothers and
sisters is
money really yours yeah are you are you
the real
owner of your wealth
or do you have the
absolute
dealing with what you own with your
wealth because everybody says
what
M
said everybody say my money my money so
is it really your
money look at the definition
if you can do whatever you want to do
with your wealth meaning you have no
rules over
it then it is your money and not
necessarily your money anything you
own but if you have some limitations
then it's not yours
absolutely Prophet Muhammad
Sall said
yeah you will not be heading toward
heaven or
hell you will not get the Final
Destination until you will be questioned
and one of those
questions your money from where you
earned it and how you spent it it's not
just from where you earned it it's not
just working and earning in it's also
spending it
meaning if you want to do something
Haram and you go spend it can you do
that no you can't according to the rule
you can but you do it because you
disobey the rule this is like speed
limit 45 can you go over 45 yes you can
but are you following the rules no
you're not if you get caught are you
getting punished or you going to get
punished yes you do so why you don't
expect punishment from Allah subhah
waala and can you get away from that
yeah is there a possibility Allah
subhana tala doesn't see absolutely not
so reflect on that if you are going to
be questioned or there's some
questioning about what you own then you
don't own it
100% And if you are going to be rewarded
when you do good with it that means it's
not
yours because when you own something
100% you just do do whatever you want to
do nobody's going to punish you and
nobody's going to question you and
nobody's going to reward
you look what Allah subhana
says spend from the money of Allah
subhanahu waala the one he gave you what
does that
mean it means you are a trustee
it's not your money it's Allah subhanahu
wa taala but he trusted you with it he
told you deal with it the way you like
but follow these
rules you violate it you get
accounted this is like when you are a
guardian for an orphan wealth Allah subh
said eat from their wealth
the one that you're taking care
of but with what you really need you
exceed the limit you're eating the
wealth of an orphan and what does that
mean you're eating fire and you'll be
going to hell so what's the point I'm
trying to make connection you're in
charge of the money of the wealth is it
of the orphan is it yours no no can you
use it and eat from it yes if you do
more you get punished same thing you
have the money from Allah subhana wa
taal can you eat from it and use it yes
if you don't follow the rules you're
punished and if you follow the rules
you're
rewarded so our money is not really our
money the funny thing brothers and
sisters is how merciful and how fair
subhah wa ta'ala
is he gives you the
money and he tells you follow the rules
the rules are very simple and
kind just follow those rules and he
rewards
you in addition to that he said when you
follow the
rules I'll give you more money from the
money that you
spend the rules is pay your
Zak okay I pay the
Zak what happens the money decreased no
no no no it did not decrease you see it
decrease but you have no idea what Allah
subhana T doing for you tomorrow you
don't know what project he is planning
for you you don't know what disease is
going to protect you from you don't know
what he's going to do to your offsprings
and your family and everything you have
no idea what Allah subhana wa taala
going to do and reward you with that
money that you spend which is his money
and that's the point that's what I'm
trying to say
he gives you the money and when you
spend the money he gives you more
money yeah B according to the rules okay
I give you $100 and I say pay $25 from
it I don't have to give you anything the
whole $100 is
mine yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
no when you pay it I'll give you 10
times more to 700 to more EV this is
Allah subhanahu wa tala with with this
is the same Allah subhanahu wa tala that
we walk from this Masid leaving
nothing in the
M nothing can you imagine Brothers Three
Brothers paid for the
Masid 100 100 100 look around you and
count the rest
zero what is this do we really know
what money we're dealing with and whom
are we holding the money away
from it's the same one who owns the
Masid Allah subhanahu waala
[Music]
it's not for brother
H it's not for
brother
it's when she used to put a dollar or
want to give a Dirham she used to put
perfume on
it and hand it to the needy person why
are you doing
that she said said because it falls in
the hand of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
first before it touches the hand of the
needed person so I wanted to smell good
cuz Allah subhana wa taala deserves
everything
good W I want myself and you to reflect
on
that I don't I have no idea how do we
count things things in
business when someone tells you give me
a discount what's your
answer this is the
end I have employees to pay and I have
this I have
that and this Masid doesn't have
employees doesn't have cleaning doesn't
have electricity doesn't have Imam
doesn't have anything
you expect the brother who opens the
door and who closes it and who takes
care of it whom you're supposed to kiss
his hand and pay him without asking you
you expect him to take care of the mid
on top of what he is doing and walk
away but when we come to the Masid we
expect the cool air we expect the good
smell and we expect the good carbet it's
the house of Allah
subhah waala I I don't know how much can
we
emphasize that you need to understand
when you come to the Masid where you
going most of us don't know they're just
programmed it's like a person today just
before I
came
I guided him in two
issues if someone says Salam alikum to
you say
am don't just answer the text without
saying I know you have time and I know
you're not driving in case you might
think
that and when someone expecting
something from you and you did not
respond to
him please explain
yourself don't just tell him oh no I'm
not
coming give some reasoning let the
person not hold anything against you
like you kept him standing or hanging or
you delayed or
whatever I told him that so what did he
do he put me a love on the text
and I said brother you're a
robot read the message
again so he came back and he read it
again then he
said and he explained to me why he did
what he did I told
him you know why I did it it's not
because I care too much about what
happened because I want you to learn
that life
is a person comes and tells me he wants
to travel and he has a ticket and nobody
helped him I'm not the IM and I said so
what do you need the money for he said I
don't have anything for food or anything
so I said hold on so I went to the car
give him $60 I said here $60 inah give
took the money and turned his head not
even thank you and I was going is this
really a person who really needs the
money or just a
liar Brothers
W it's amazing how we don't know that we
are coming to the Masid how many of you
make the Dua when they enter the Masid
how many of you pray when they enter the
M how many of you know don't say when
the is making or
answer how many not many that means you
don't know where you're
at w you don't know we don't know where
we
are how can you walk by the boxes and by
the guy and buy this and not put a
dollar a
dollar I'm not saying 100 or thousand a
dollar never ever went in any time he
sees him that but he gives a
charity I know I know the dollar is
nothing to you and the 10 and the 100
too
many but we
forget but why you
forget why you forget every month every
week it's because it's not important to
you where you at because you don't even
know where you at I don't think anybody
I don't think W personally anybody today
would leave without doing any without
putting anything and if someone did you
just want to be stubborn you don't want
to accept the fact May maybe you don't
like me or my because you think he's
aggressive or because you think he's
forcing I'm not I'm not aggressive I'm
not forcing I'm telling it to you as he
is some people need to be awake or wake
up some people need to be slapped when
someone fall when someone faints what do
you do to him you kiss him no you slap
him to wake him up and this is exactly
what we need w we need we need that I'm
talking about myself W I'm no different
than
you my son my own son sometimes tell me
bab you did not or you did not give me
or I don't have or I forgot to do this
and that yeah we forget but not all the
time so brothers and sisters
$33,000 for this mid minimum takes care
of it a
month W it's so sad to know that four
weeks passes and not having enough money
the brother has to go knock at doors and
big sales people or or businesses so he
can pay the rent or pay the money for
the employees or for the cleaning or any
of that isn't that sad do you accept
that to your house La Allah but you
accept it to the house of Allah subhana
wa tala and we say alhamdulillah we are
believers and we are Muslims action
[Music]
are you the real owner of your
wealth and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam told us something that you're
going to like I'm like Allah he
said you know the
funnel that you pour oil in water how
many mechanics we have here but you pour
all of that that's
called don't be
like what does what's so special oh why
we shouldn't be like it because it's a
funnel right you
put olive oil the best oil in it how
much it keeps from it
nothing where did it go it goes to the
container so all the good went through
it but benefited

does that mean you heard this you heard
the importance of the M you have an ear
to ear

this ear don't be like that don't make
the word go from this ear and exit from
the
without benefiting or acting upon it
this is exactly what it means can you
imagine the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam gives you this comparison
amazing that's why when you when you
read the Hadith and when you see you
stumble over some words oh what does
that mean or why he said that what kind
of comparison the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam did not associate
himself with philosophers did not
associate him with the wise people did
not where did he get all of this what
did he give this wonderful name and
comparisons and all the time in all the
it
