Q & A

Why are we still alive today according to the speaker?

We are still alive today because our heart is still beating, our breath is still flowing, and our blood is still circulating. These are signs that we are alive, and the ultimate answer is given in Surah Al-Mulk, Juz 29.

What is the significance of Surah Al-Mulk in the context of life and death?

Surah Al-Mulk, Juz 29, teaches us that Allah is the Creator of both life and death. Allah created life to test who among us performs the best deeds, and death signifies the end of our test.

What does the speaker mention about life and death tests in the context of Allah's will?

The speaker explains that Allah creates life and death to test which of us performs the best deeds. Some people may be healthier or younger but pass away because their deeds are completed, while others remain alive to continue their good deeds.

How should we respond to the life we have, according to the speaker?

We should be grateful for the life we have by engaging in four types of deeds: physical deeds, deeds of speech, deeds of the heart, and deeds of wealth.

What are the four types of deeds mentioned in the speech?

The four types of deeds are: 1) Amal badan (physical deeds such as prayer and acts of kindness), 2) Amal lisan (deeds of speech such as dhikr), 3) Amal hati (deeds of the heart such as patience and gratitude), and 4) Amal harta (deeds of wealth such as zakat and charity).

What role does salat and prayer play in the life of a Muslim, according to the speaker?

Salat and prayer are central acts of worship in Islam, especially recommended practices like the sunna prayers after wudu, Salat Dhuha in the morning, and Salat Tahajjud at night. These prayers strengthen our connection to Allah and help us fulfill our purpose in life.

Why is amal badan (physical deeds) significant in this context?

Amal badan is significant because every action of our body can be an act of worship if done with the right intention, such as praying, helping others, or even avoiding harm to others.

What is the importance of amal lisan (deeds of speech) in Islam?

Amal lisan is important because the words we speak can bring us closer to Allah. Saying words of remembrance (dhikr) like 'Subhanallah', 'Alhamdulillah', and 'Allahu Akbar' are acts of worship that keep our hearts and minds engaged with Allah.

What does the speaker say about the amal hati (deeds of the heart)?

Amal hati includes actions like patience, reliance on Allah (tawakkul), contentment with Allah's will (rida), and gratitude. These are considered among the most challenging but crucial acts of worship.

How are amal harta (deeds of wealth) significant in the context of the speaker's message?

Amal harta, such as paying zakat, performing infak (charity), and establishing waqf (endowment), is important because these acts of charity can continue to benefit others even after death, providing ongoing rewards for the person who gives.
