⚖️ Justice on the Day of Judgment

The Day of Judgment is described as the day of ultimate justice, where every soul will receive its due. Allah promises that even the smallest injustice will be addressed. The speaker contrasts Islamic justice with other faiths' concepts, emphasizing that Allah is the ultimate Just. The Quranic verses and hadiths highlight the importance of justice in Islam, encouraging Muslims to act justly in this life to avoid being among the losers on the Day of Judgment.

10:03

🕌 Belief in the Day of Judgment

Belief in the Day of Judgment is a fundamental part of Islamic faith, one of the six pillars of iman. The Quran frequently reminds believers to prepare for the afterlife through good deeds. The journey to the afterlife starts at death, with the soul departing the body and beginning its ascent to heaven. The believer's soul is welcomed, while the non-believer's soul is cast back. This part also stresses the importance of immediate preparation for the afterlife.

15:03

👼 The Soul's Journey and the Grave

Upon death, the soul begins its journey. Believers' souls are taken to heaven, while non-believers' souls are rejected. In the grave, the soul returns to the body, facing questioning by the angels Munkar and Nakir. Believers can answer confidently, while non-believers cannot. This questioning indicates the soul's fate, either punishment or bliss in the grave, until the final Day of Judgment.

20:04

📢 The Blowing of the Trumpet

The speaker explains the events leading up to the Day of Judgment, including the blowing of the trumpet by Angel Israfil. This event signifies the death of all living beings. Different interpretations exist about who might survive initially, such as major angels or martyrs. After the first blow, a second blow will resurrect all beings for judgment. The resurrection process involves all humanity, with details provided by the Quran and hadith.

25:07

☀️ The Resurrected State and the Awaiting Judgment

On the Day of Resurrection, people will be resurrected in their original form, naked and uncircumcised. The Prophet Muhammad describes the scene where people will be so preoccupied with their fate that they won't notice others. The Quran supports this depiction, showing people in a state of extreme fear and confusion. The sun will be brought close, causing intense heat and sweat based on individuals' deeds. The waiting period for judgment is depicted as excruciatingly long and intense.

30:07

🌪️ The Severity of the Day of Judgment

The speaker describes the terror and severity of the Day of Judgment, where people will appear intoxicated due to fear. The Quran portrays scenes of mothers abandoning their nursing children and pregnant women miscarrying from the horror. Despite this, the speaker assures that believers will be protected from the noise and sight of Hellfire, emphasizing Allah's mercy for those who followed His guidance. This section balances the depiction of fear with the promise of safety for the righteous.

35:08

🔥 Distance from Hellfire for the Righteous

The righteous will be kept far from Hellfire, not even hearing its terrifying sounds. Allah promises them safety and eternal life in Paradise. This promise contrasts the fearsome fate of non-believers and underscores the importance of following the Prophet Muhammad's teachings. The speaker highlights the dual approach of fear and hope in a believer's life, encouraging adherence to good deeds and avoidance of sins.

40:12

🌍 The Prophet's Intercession

As people await judgment, they will seek intercession from various prophets, starting with Adam, who will direct them to others until they reach Muhammad. He will be granted permission to intercede, prostrating before Allah and praising Him. His intercession will allow the judgment to commence and aid many believers. This highlights the Prophet's profound concern for his Ummah and his elevated status with Allah.

Transcripts

so today inshallah

we continue with our series the road to

jannah that we started two weeks ago

or two sessions ago uh so basically we

started

uh by talking about the

major signs of the day of judgment

according to the authentic hadith from

the prophet

delved into them in the details as much

details as we can

have according to the uh narrations from

the prophet sallam and the quran

as well and what allah revealed in the

quran

and we stopped uh last time

at uh when the with the last sign

with the fire that emerged from uh yemen

and that would drive the people to the

land of resurrection so this week

inshallah we

talk about the day of judgment so this

session inshaallah

would be an introduction uh to the

events of the day of judgement

and we would be talking uh you know kind

of touching base on that and inshallah

we will continue

next week uh potentially we will need at

least

one more session uh to cover the events

unfolding

uh during the day of judgment so let's

get started insha'allah

so the first thing now uh living in the

west or even if you are in

the middle east you probably like heard

or saw many of the movies

that are trying to depict events or like

similar events that would happen

uh you know in the afterlife or you know

some of them

are called armageddon or deep impact or

end of days or like

name it there is so many blockbusters

that came out

uh that we're trying to come up with the

scenarios for how the world will end and

what would happen and what will not

happen

you know and you will find them uh most

often they're not

kind of like coupled with mockery or

skepticism

but yet these movies find

huge success you know they are always

ahead they are always a blockbuster they

sell out and you know people would go

and see them because

the human nature is intrigued by the

afterlife you know you will find a lot

of people

you know who say you know or like try to

say even

once you're dead you're dead that's it

there's nothing after that it's a common

belief

but we all know specifically on the

muslims that that's not the case

and even the people who are claiming

that they are not

certain of that kind of fact and that's

why

uh this is a very big and intriguing

thing for them right but alhamdulillah

for us as muslims the prophet salallahu

gave us detailed knowledge detailed

information

about what happens leading up to the day

of judgment what happens during the day

of judgment

and what happens after that so

alhamdulillah you know there is a lot of

peace of mind

that we can acquire from that knowledge

and there is a lot of basically a kind

of

luggage or knowledge that we can gain

from there that will help us in this

life

that will help us make the right

decisions in this life so that we will

not be amongst the losers on the day of

judgement

so let's get started inshaallah first of

all we want to establish that the day of

judgment

is the day of justice allah says this

times and times again in the quran

uh basically tells us that every soul

that was wrong in the day of judge and

in this life

will be uh you know given justice on the

day of judgment so it's a

uh you know it's to the contrary of what

happens

in this life right subhanallah that uh

there is a lot of

wrong doing there is a lot of injustice

that there's a lot of

inequality specifically in this day and

age with all the words and

with all the you know calamities that

are hitting left and right

because of negligence of certain

individuals or certain governments or

certain people in power right

allah tells us in sort of mbr

[Music]

and we place the scales of justice for

the day of resurrection

so no soul will be treated unjustly at

all

and if there is even the weight of a

mustard seed we will bring it forth

and sufficient are we as accountants

subhanallah so allah is saying that

unequivocal

unequivocally that you know that day

is the day where justice would be served

that

if somebody has been wrong in this dunya

then that day

they will get uh you know their rights

and whoever was an oppressor in this

dunya that day they will pay the price

so in a way it gives a lot of peace a

lot of

you know subhanallah you see you look at

other faith a lot of

other denominations you know uh you

would find

that that concept of justice doesn't

exist subhanallah

that people basically you know when

somebody comes to you and says

you know jesus or so and so died for

your sins

then you don't you're not accountable

anymore then where is the justice in

that allah one of his names

is the just so the fact that

he says he says

that i made it forbidden on myself

to try transgress amongst one of you

then do or not trying to transgress

against against each other so this is

what allah is saying

that he even forbid that on himself

then how come when we do it against each

other so this is a very important

concept in islam

and you will find a lot of scholars are

talk to you and say

basically they say islam is the dean of

justice because that concept

is so prominent like when you go over

the ayat and the quran

so many of them are talking about either

about

how allah forbids injustice

or how allah upholds justice you know

and how allah

is urging us to be just

even at times of war allah

is uh you know and the area says that if

they

attack you then defend yourself

and be just subhanallah meaning or you

need to respond with the same amount of

force

to push that injustice but don't

and don't basically transgress but the

prophet salallahu when he was

establishing the rule of war the rules

of force 14 1400 years ago

some of it is not even implemented in

nowadays you see what happens in syria

and what happens in other countries

you see like the amount of transgression

and the amount of volume that happens

there

the prophet sallallahu alaihi saw them

1400 years ago when he was sending the

army of osama an 18 year old

who was leading an army leaving medina

and under him was abu bakr and umar and

the greatest sahabi of the time the

closest the prophet

but yet he chose this 18 year old to be

the leader

of the the army he was saying to him

do not burn any crops if there is any

crops on your way do

not burn it

do not cut please do not do not cut

trees

and then do not attack by night and do

not come close to the the old people

to the worshipers and to the kids and do

not attack at night so that you do not

you do

not scare the woman and the kids

subhanallah so those are the rules of

engagements that the prophet saws

abu bakr at the time were setting up for

the muslim army so it's very important

uh

basically understand this

if i can ask you all to mute your mics

inshallah uh that would be

uh great now um

allah also uh you know we know that

if a person was wrong and did not see

justice or saw

uh only partial justice in this dunya

then as i said allah will restore him

his rights on the day of judgment the

prophet

said that

the rights shall be returned to the

prophet proper individuals on the day of

resurrection even

to the details of the just retribution

of the broken horn sheep

from two horned sheeps who had hid it

this is the prophet

sallallahu is giving us a visual example

of

how the justice will be established on

the day of judgment that even

for a sheep that was hit by another

horned sheep

and that broke his horn that that

sheep will get justice on the day of

judgment like let alone humans

so this is what the prophet saw is

saying like if if

justice would be served at that level

then he could imagine

you know how we would be accountable and

how justice would be served at the human

level

subhanallah so this is very important to

understand

you know that subhanallah

we want to also establish one very

important aspect about the day of

judgment

that the prophet sallallahu assalam

taught us that this is integral part of

our deen

that part of the six pillars of iman is

believing on the day of judgment so this

is

you know this is a one of the pillars

of eman is believing in you know angels

and the books and

the prophets one of them is believing on

the uh the day of judgment

believing that this day will happen so

it's very important to establish that

fact as well

you know uh we have many instances of

the quran where we are reminded

to work for our afterlife that allah

says

you know warning the believers that to

be mindful and to be fearful of allah

and to

keep the duty to him and let every

person

look for what they have sent forth for

tomorrow meaning what they have prepared

for tomorrow when tomorrow here means

for the day of judgment for the

afterlife

what did you prepare for that day and

fear allah

verily allah is all aware of what you do

so this is in allah has given us

a warning that we should not be heedless

of what's coming of what's going to

happen and we should be ready

and we should put things forth meaning

we should

put forth good deeds that will help us

will shield us from what will happen on

that day

so it's very important to establish that

fact

now what how the journey to the

afterlife start

so the journey actually starts at the

moment of death

you know once the person dies that's

when the journey starts

allah says in the quran and the

afterlife

is better than the one before it

muhammad and talking to us that that

you know if you prepared well for the

afterlife then surely

it's better for you so you need to

prepare for it

when do you prepare for it when do you

start you start now you start yesterday

subhanallah we need to really not be

heedless

of this fact that this moment could come

at any time nobody is in control

when uh when one of the good ones came

to prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi

salam and said to him

o muhammad what is the hour then the

prophet

and one narration says

he said you know the one who's asking

who's being asked doesn't know

more than the one he's asking so this is

what this this was his first reply to

angel jibril when he asked him

when is the hour and then a big one came

to him and then he asked him when is the

hour and he said what did you prepare

for it

then the biduan said and i mentioned

this during the series of prophet

muhammed

the benue said he said not much except

that i love

the prophet and his uh allah and his

messenger

then allah the prophet says you will be

with whom you love

you will be on the day of judgment you

know in the afterlife

you will be with whom you love if you

love the prophet

if you love allah and you go and you

know you prove it with actions

that's the point here is that you need

to prove it with action we talked about

this

during our uh you know series about

prophet muhammad saw

is that following the footsteps of the

prophet sallam you know implementing

his way of life in your life is a way to

you know uh is in a way to follow him in

actions basically

is a way to confirm the love to him

if we truly love him then we need to

follow him and if we follow him

then we would be amongst those that

prophet sallam says you will be with

whom you love you would be with prophet

muhammad

on the opposite side if you love you

know uh

uh singer so and so if you look you are

such you know social media influencer

and so on then you need to be worried

you really want to you need to be

worried if those are like the the top

people that you love and follow

you know love here is following is like

basically mimicking every action in

their life you try to implement it

in your life blindly then if you are

doing that then you really need to be

worried you really need to

be reconsidering where you are in life

uh you know

with that regards because it's very

important to establish this fact

now um

and the page of death will come in truth

this is what you have been avoiding and

another translation

and the intoxication of death will bring

the truth

meaning what you know when the

intoxication of death when you go into

that state where you start dying when

the person starts dying

that's they start seeing the truth you

know uh

uh allah and another he said

that we removed you know the shade from

your vision

that your vision now is uh you know as

strong as

a steel it's so sharp it's so clear you

are able to see

on those last moments of death the

believer would be able to see the angels

you know of mercy coming to him and the

one the non-believer would be able to

to see the angels of torment coming to

him subhanallah that's why

you know if somebody uh attended the a

person who's dying they see them

subhanallah

looking at a different direction as if

they are not with the people around them

anymore

so subhanallah this is saying that is

that you are

the you know the the death when it comes

it will bring the truth with it

and that is what you were trying to

avoid this is true even for the believer

because

subhanallah none of us likes the death

none of us

you know uh kind of like enjoys the idea

of death

so it's a human nature that we don't

like it so allah is saying

that is what you were trying to avoid

subhanallah

so now what happens is that the soul

deport departs the body

the person will stare at it and his eyes

will follow it the prophet saw allah

says

one will follow the path of the soul

visually

as it leaves his body this is muslim

then the soul will begin the journey uh

you know

where does it go it will go

uh you know basically up to the heavens

so it starts a journey up to the heaven

this is a very like this fractional

moment of death

that you know the person is dying you

know the soul leaves the body

and then the soul takes the journey to

the heaven

what happens you know to the believers

what what happens to the sword of the

believer

you know what is is it different from

the sort of the non-believer what you

know what's what's the path

you know do they take the same path you

know for the believer

you know basically the sword of the

believer will go up to the heavens and

uh it would be sought you know to get

the permission

to enter the uh gates of the heavens

and the gates will be opened and it will

reach the seven half of

heaven where allah says as depicted

of the believer

that allah says to the soul from the

earth

recreated you and into it we will return

you and

from it we will extract you yet another

time

meaning right now basically you left the

body

yeah base and then allah is saying now

it's the time to go back

to the earth from where you have been

created the first time

and then at one point on the day of

judgment you will be

extracted uh you know you'll be

resurrected subhanallah

so this is the journey of the soul of

the believer now the

for the non-believer the same thing

happened it will try to ascend to the

heaven

but the gates of the lowest heaven would

not be open to it the angels would

refuse

and it would be cast back to earth allah

tells us about this

the gates of heaven will not be opened

for them

nor will they enter paradise until a

camel enters into the eyes of the needle

and thus do we recompense the criminals

so this is what allah is telling us

about the two different journeys of the

souls

of the believer and the non-believer as

they leave the body

uh of the human being at the moment of

death

so now the person has died you know the

soldier the journey then it's back to

the earth

that's where the person is is buried we

know from other

hadith that when the soul of the person

returns

to them they would be on the grave in

the grave and then when they

they wake up basically the the soul is

brought back to the body

that they that's when they find in front

of them two angels they are they are

called munkar and nikir

and they would be asking them three

questions

they asked them

the two angels would ask the person in

the grave that's the first thing

that they would be asked about the

prophet sallam once the

sahaba buried one of their you know

sahabi one of the companions

and then they started leaving of the

prophet

in one instance he said uh he the person

who was buried

he would hear the footsteps of the

people leaving

and then he said sallallahu alaihi

sallam

to your brother he is being asked right

now the prophet saws

said make dua to your brother he's being

asked right now

the first thing that the person who has

been put

on the grave would be asked about is

who is your lord mahadeen what is your

religion

what do you say about the man

that was sent to you so the believer

would be saying arabi allah

you know my lord is allah my religion is

islam

yet islam and mata foreign

why the non-believer he would be saying

huh yeah that's his answer basically

like he's completely lost he has no

answer

to that so those are basically the early

signs for the person

whether they are in the right path or

like they are basically going to

uh you know the hellfire so those are

the early signs

and in the grave that the person would

know

their fate subhan allah now

the person is in the grave and that's

when uh a long journey starts which is

basically

it's either uh the punishment of the

grave or the bliss of the grave

till the final hour till the day of

judgment

as we talked before you know there were

there are events that are leading up so

basically

that's kind of like for a person who uh

dies

uh you know before the major signs of

the day of judgment

now we talked last time that there are

certain signs that are preceding

the day of judgment we talked about the

ten measure signs according to

uh hadith of the prophet uh you know uh

that's recorded muslim and we said that

towards the end of time a gentle wind

will blow allah will send a gentle one

that uh basically will take the soul of

every

believing men and women and that a

massive fire from the area of yemen

that would be the last major sign that

will gather people to the land of

gathering or the land of resurrection

you know and that the day of judgment

will be established on the worst of

humanity we said that the gentle wind

would take the soul of the believers

so those who are left towards the end of

time would be the worst of humanity and

we gave the example that

prophet sallam said you know gave that

that the person would be walking by two

people committing zina in the middle of

the street

and then he would be telling them like

he said the best of them would tell

those people

you should just go to the corner

basically he said that's the time when

uh the day of judgment would be

established so

what what happens you know leading up to

that day of judgment

you know at that time when the fire when

the people are gathered

what happens is the fir first blow so

basically the trumpet

will be blown so this is a trumpet or

horn that's held by a giant angel called

called angel

israel what the angel israel does he

blows the trumpet

and then everyone who is alive at the

time would die

allah tells us

and whoever is in the heavens and

whoever is on the earth

will fall dead except whom allah lives

now this verse is clear that

everyone who is alive at that time will

die

except whom allah wills do we know

who you know isn't in that exception

there is a difference of opinion between

the allah

and to be honest with you you know

that's not something

really we uh like that's that's not a

knowledge that will benefit us

you know uh but just for the sake of

information

some scholars are saying that uh the

major angels the heads of angels like

angel is raphael and angel

would stay alive the american mount and

the angel of death would be

alive at that time those they will be uh

dead

after that allah will command them on

them one by one

uh in other narrations that says and or

other explanations say

that the the martyrs

so basically that the martyrs that

people think they are dead that they

never dead they are with their lord

and they are alive so uh it could be

that as well so there is different and

kind of explanations we don't have a

definitive text what's meant

by this area but as i said that's

uh you know that's a secondary knowledge

we know

that the first blow will happen

and that people who are alive at the

time

will be dead and there will be no life

on earth

uh at all and even in the heavens as

depicted in this area

then the second blow will happen allah

will command angel

and then he will blow again and all the

chronic creation

from the beginning of time till the end

of time would be resurrected allah says

and this is the same verse i mentioned

like in

verse 68 and the horn will be blown and

whoever is in the heaven and whoever is

on the earth

will fall there except whom allah wills

then

it will blow again and at once they will

be standing

looking and then in another area in

surat yasin

or the horn would be blown and at once

from the graves to their lord they will

hasten

that they will be coming quickly to

their lord to meet the lord

so this is the resurrection that

everyone from the beginning of time

to the end of time will be brought out

from the graves

and they will be hasting hastening to

their lord

and that's when the day of judgment is

established

now allah the prophet salallahu is

telling us

about the events or like the the

situation or the state of the people

when they come out from their ash death

from the graves

on the day of judgment the prophet

sallallahu alaihi sallam says describing

them

in details he's according to hadith

narrated by ibn abbas

the prophet says you will be uh brought

out or you will be summoned or you'll be

resurrected on the day of judgment

on the day of resurrection barefooted

naked and

uncircumcised he then read the word of

allah

and as we begin the first creation we

will repeat it

that is a promise binding upon us indeed

we will do it so allah the prophet

is telling us that people will be the

point of this detailed description for

the process

is that there will be nothing added

people will be brought out as they were

created without

any change without any alteration that

uh you know happens during the life

whether that's clothing whether that's

superstition whatever you

want to name it the prophet saws is

being clear that people would be brought

out

the way they have been created that

that's how they will come out

and then the prophet salallahu added the

first human being to be dressed on the

day of resurrection

would be prophet ibrahim may allah may

allah's mercy be upon him

this hadith is recorded in bukhari now

the interesting thing

is when the prophet saw mentioned this

hadith our mother aisha was intrigued

and she she asked him right away she

said ya rasulullah

uh you know men and women both won't

they

all look at each other subhanallah you

know it's a natural question that jumped

to her and then she asked the prophet

saws

right away and then the prophet

salallahu the situation they are in

is so grim that they would have no time

for this

so the the this is an authentic hadith

that the prophet replying to

our mother aisha that they will be in

such a dire situation

that people you know coming out of the

grave imagine all those people that said

you said

as we mentioned the beginning once

you're dead you're dead and then all of

a sudden they are coming out of the

grave

and then they see themselves and they

realize that that's it everything that i

was thinking before

you know every you know kind of

basically

argument i came up with again against

this idea is shattered

the truth is before my eyes and then i'm

being brought out

then he said the situation is so grim

the prophet saws that they don't have

time to think about

anything else to notice anybody else

and this is clearly depicted in the

quran you know

so the interesting part here that we

want to establish because as we go

through this journey one of the

questions

we asked early on when when i introduced

the session

section is when would you think about

your uh

others basically your family your

parents your brothers your sisters your

loved ones

this is the first spot you know at the

time of resurrection

this is the first instance the man is

saying there are three instances

where the person would not think about

anybody else except themselves they

cannot even

wonder about any loved ones they forget

about anything like the

horror and the the situation puts them

in a spot where they don't remember

anyone else this is one of them this is

the first instance where

the person will be so preoccupied with

their affairs

they cannot even notice that there are

people naked around them they cannot

even notice that there are people around

them

so let alone think about their closed

one or loved ones so this is the first

interest

inshallah when we get to the other

instances i'll highlight that as well

but that that's something to keep in

mind allah and surat al hajj in verse

one of two

depicts and explains the situation

says

mankind fear your lord indeed the

conversion of the earth the quake of the

final hour

is a mighty matter of

fact

on that day on the day of judgment on

that day when this happens

uh on the day you see it every nurse and

mother

will be distracting from the child she

was nursing

immediately like she cannot pay

attention to that child that she was not

nursing and every pregnant woman will

abort her pregnancy

and you will see people appearing

intoxicated

while they are not intoxicated but the

punishment of your lord of allah is

severe

so allah is saying you know confirming

what the prophet

is saying that people when they come out

of the grave they will be as if when you

look at them they are in toxic they look

like

they are intoxicating they are not aware

of what's going on

but the allah is saying no they are not

intoxicated they look like they are

intoxicated

because the whole you know the the might

of the situation the might of the

matter that is unfolding is making them

look as if they are intoxicated

that's why you know they cannot notice

what the state of the people around them

subhanallah now as the people you know

at this point you know people are

resurrected people are the situation

this isn't unfolding the day of judgment

didn't start yet

you know uh the judgment itself what i'm

saying it didn't start here

so the human kind at that time is

awaiting the decree of allah

they would be standing under the sun

and the sun would be brought so close

that in

one of the companions said i heard the

message of allah saying

the sun will be a distance of a mile

from the creation

on the day of resurrection people will

sink in their uh perspiration

according to their deeds so some would

sing and their perspiration till their

ankles

while other would sink till their thighs

and waist

yet others would sink till their mouth

this is in sahih muslim so the sun will

come so close and based on the deeds of

the people

people will start sinking individually

in their own sweat

subhanallah then uh of the prophet

sallallahu alaihi

is telling us that that day you know

the length of that day is the you know

according to what we know is

50 000 year long subhanallah when the

hadith the prophet sallallahu alaihi

is saying that day will be 50 000 year

long

after which a person would be admitted

into paradise

or cast into a you know according uh

reported by abu dhabi

so you can imagine uh the heat the

length of the day

you know subhanallah you know today is a

hot day here like yeah

uh you know uh subhanallah some other

countries like they have 40s and 50s but

you know

by seasonal temperature of what people

are used to this is considered

to be a hot day and subhanallah you

could imagine

people running for acs and for uh

showers and so on and so forth

like he could imagine the heat on that

day and

the length of that day and people

standing on their feet and waiting for

the judgment to start

so you could imagine how you know the

hearts are pounding you're not knowing

what would become

and subhanallah you know as i said that

the last part

was describing the amount of sheer

horror that was going on

and how the mothers even they will

forget about their babies and so on

on that day why they are waiting for the

judgment to start

subhanallah so it's very important to

acknowledge

the situation that's leading up to that

now i you know it's not a matter of

scaring people it's a matter of just

uh you know relaying the information

that the prophet sallam told us about

as we delve into this we will find a lot

of

hadith a lot of ayat from the quran that

will tell us

that the situation for the believer is

far better than

the situation of the non-believers on

that day that they will be receiving

glad tiding after glad tiding

and you know there is even one eye a so

beautiful area

that talks about uh when uh the hellfire

is brought out

and it's being shown to the people of

the out of al-mashar at the

land of resurrection that um um

allah says uh

you know early on meaning in their life

those who

when the week brought to them the

message of the prophet muhammad

whether they are the companions or the

people of this time that came to the

muslim

that accepted the message that they left

the life of you know

sins behind them and they did their best

to get closer

in

that those who received the glad tiding

those who got the message and applied it

and followed it

those will be brought so far from it

they will be brought

so far from hellfire on the day of the

day

and then the ayah says yes

with allah they will not

hear like the noises of the hellfire

because the hell fire

once it sees the disbeliever and we will

get to that description

it will start making noises and it's

like angry noises towards those people

subhanallah it's very well depicted like

in details

in the quran and the hadith but allah is

saying

even that noise they will not be hearing

it

they will be brought away from it and

then they will not even hear the noise

that it's making

so that they not don't get scared

because they don't deserve to be scared

because they followed the right path

because they followed the prophet saws

because they love the prophet sallallahu

alaihi there is no way that they will be

let to be scared by the fire and then

allah says

that they will go to jannah and they

will be

forever living in jannah and then allah

says

you know is is you know basically

is greeting them and saying this is this

day of judgment

is the day that you have been promised

like the other people the

those who didn't believe in him they

were threatened by the by that day but

you are being promised by that day

because

you will be rewarded in this day you

will get your reward on those of this

day

so the point here is like you know not

to make it

uh that people uh you know uh

to kind of instill here uh fear uh

and and and those who get this message

or this knowledge

the prophet as i said many times he

mentioned or like he said like the

states of the believer

is between fear and hope that

you are fearing allah's wrath allah

you know anger so that it's a catalyst

to do good deeds and to stay away from

bad decisions

but also hoping in allah's mercy because

many many instances allah you know is

telling us

he is the most merciful allah is the

most merciful allah and the quran says

you know that uh he he forgives all

sins subhanallah that if my uh

slave comes to me with mountains of sins

and then he comes to me he doesn't uh

commit shirk with me and he comes to me

repenting then i will bring

come to him with mountains of mountains

of uh you know uh

mercy so subhanallah that's the state is

to be

in between the houth and the raja the

the you know the hope and the mercy of

allah and the fear from his wrath

because that's going to allow us to be

in the balance

uh kind of approach to it now

you know if you could please uh remove

your phone

that would be great inshallah because i

can hear myself i can hear the echo

through one of your mics

so uh or let me try to uh i think a mute

you myself

all right i think uh i think i got it

all right

so i think basically what happened here

as i mentioned

so uh uh well what when we get to this

point

till this point the judgment did not

start

that people will be trying to find out

what's happening

what is next and how the judgment will

start

and that's when the great intercession

of the prophet salallahu happens

you know when we did the series about

prophet muhammad

and i mentioned to you that one of the

greatest reasons we should love our

beloved prophet is the intercession

that and we also discussed that

you know this series as well should

allow us to appreciate even more prophet

muhammad sallallahu alaihi

you know we went over his life we went

over his you know

many of these character traits but uh

this instance of the intercession that

happens on the day of judgment

it uh not only tells you the importance

and the status of prophet muhammad

but it tells you how much he cared about

his ummah how much he cared about you

and me

and that's why it's it should be a

priority in our life

to connect with our beloved prophets of

allah so this

is the hadith of the intercession that i

would be concluding with

that uh you know it's narrated that as

the main

mankind uh is awaiting what's going to

happen you know people

are brought up the graves people are

wondering what's going on

people are scared people are naked

people are sweating

then they start talking to each other

and they start saying let us

ask somebody to intercede for us with

our lord

so the people would go to adam they

start like looking

who should we go to somebody say you

know uh uh

says let's go to adam so they go to adam

alaihissalam

and then they say you are the father of

all the people

and allah created you with his own hands

and ordered the angels

to prostrate to you and taught you the

names of all things

so please intercede for us with your

lord

so he may leave us from this place of

ours

so here people are so tired just from

waiting for the judgment to start

you know subhanallah you could imagine

once the judgment starts how is it

but this is people are tired from the

way they wanted to just

get uh get started with so

adam replies to them and he says i am

not fit for this

meaning and the intercession and then he

would remember his sin

and feel ashamed for it and he would say

go to nua for he was the first messenger

allah sent to the inhabitant of the

earth

so he would say uh you know so they will

go to

salem but uh

he would say nafsi nepsi myself myself

i am not fit for this undertaking and he

will remember

remember his appeal to his lord that he

wanted to intercede for his son

and then he will be ashamed from that

sin and he will say

you know i am not for this and a fit for

them this undertaking

go to khalil go to ibrahim

you know go to the close one to allah

the one who

allah shows as his loved one so they

will go to ibrahim alaihissalam

and then he will say you know nafsi nfc

myself myself

i am not fit for this you know uh and

then he will remember that he

asked for forgiveness for his daughter

and feel for his dad and he considers

that as a sin

and that allah recommended him for that

he said don't do that

so he said go to music moses the slave

to whom

allah spoke directly and gave him the

torah

so they go and then they will go to

moses

and then he will say nafsi nfc myself

myself

i am not fit for this undertaking and he

will mention his sin that he killed the

person

who was not a killer and he will feel so

ashamed of that

before allah and he will say go to

go to allah as messenger as slave and

allah's world and spirit you know and

then uh

ask him for the intercession then jesus

peace be upon him he will say

nafsi nafsi myself myself i am not fit

for this under

undertaking and he will not mention or

remember any sin

but he will say go to muhammad the slave

of

allah whose past and future sin

sins were forgiven by allah

then they will go to prophet muhammad

and then the prophet will say

and he was allah the prophet here

describing he said they will come to me

and i will proceed till i will ask my

lord's permission

and i will be given for permission so

the prophet salallahu will say

that i am you know the one for this i am

the one for this

and then he will proceed and go to allah

he will ask for permission and then he

will be given permission

to be in the presence of allah and then

he says the prophet saw he says when i

see

my lord i will fall down in prostration

under the arash the prophet salallahu is

describing

that when he sees allah when he sees his

lord salallahu she will go under the

heart of allah

and he said he says i will fall down in

frustration

and he uh he said i will remain

in prostration for as long as i wish

and then he says the process

that he will be given a certain uh you

know uh

basically dua and certain uh

supplications and certain praises you

know

words for praise for allah that will

never be

have been said before him at that moment

so he will be praising allah and he will

be you know uh

you know supplicating him in that state

of prosperity

until he will be addressed the prophet

saw he said

then i will be addressed

and he said i will be told

that the prophet

o saws raise your head

ask and you shall be given

and say and your saying will be listened

to

intercede and your intercession will be

accepted

so that's that's the status of prophet

muhammad sallallahu alaihi

so the prophet saws says i will raise my

head

and praise allah was saying in the

invocations he will teach me and then i

will

intercede for the uh you know uh

i will intercede for the day of judgment

to start he will fix a limit for me

to intercede for the prophet saying that

allah will fix the limit for him

to intercede for whom i will admit into

paradise

subhanallah so allah at that moment

he accepts the intercession for prophet

muhammed for the start of the day of

judgment

and then he will give him another

intercession to take

a certain number of people to to

paradise right away then

he the prophet sallam says you know i

will take those and then the prophet saw

says i'll come back again to allah

and when i see my my lord the same thing

will happen to me

meaning he will prostrate and he will

stay in that prostration

until he will be addressed and he will

be told

oh muhammad raise your head and ask and

you will be

given and intercede and your

intercession will be accepted

he said and the prophet sallam here he

said and then i will intercede

and allah will fix a limit for me to

intercede

whom i will let into the heavens

heavenly abode

then i will come back for the third time

and then i will come back for the fourth

time

and will say none remains in hell

but those whom the quran has imprisoned

in hell

and who have been distant on an eternal

stay in hell so subhanallah the prophet

does not intercede once or twice or

three times

he will keep coming back from his ummah

you know and this reminds you of the

instance when the prophet salallahu and

this is

our mother aisha is narrating this

hadith that the prophet saw

was praying at night and then

he was crying and he was crying so loud

that angel jibril came to prophet

muhammad

allah says to injure doing go to

muhammad

and ask him why are you crying and allah

knows best

why he is crying so angel jibril comes

to the prophet salallahu

he says why are you crying he says

my people my people that's that's how

much he was worried sallallahu that's

why when he is giving the permission to

intercede

he doesn't shy away from that you know

opportunity and he keeps coming back

he keeps digging into the mercy of allah

and we will come back to this hadith in

details and we will come back to these

this instance in details but i just

wanted to give you a glimpse

that the day of judgment the judgment

itself will not start

until the prophet sallallahu alaihi

intercede and that the prophet salallahu

from the moment

that he intercedes for the day of

judgment to start

he will keep coming back to allah to

intercede

even as the judgment is going on even as

people are being admitted to hell fire

and people

are admitted to paradise he is running

back and forth

trying to guide as many people to

paradise and trying to pull as many

people

from the hellfire

you know uh ten sessions ago we started

talking about our prophet

salallahu you know knowing him and

connecting with him

leading uh you know up to this and you

know

my whole point was every time we talk

about these instances

whether his character traits or whether

you know how he conducted himself during

making dhawa to people

how he cared about non-muslims you know

how he was so compassionate

how he was so loving and how he like it

rips his heart

that he sees somebody disobeying or like

turning the back

right how he cared about the people like

you know

till this hadith i think this hadith

shows you

the extent that how he cares

all the prophets people went to all the

prophets all of them they said nfc nfc

you know i cannot help you here except

the prophet salallahu

he said i am the one i am the one and he

run to allah

and he prostrated there and then until

he was given permission

and until then he kept coming back and

trying to intercede

so subhanallah i hope this gives us an

appreciation

of the status of the prophet salallahu

and the sight of allah

and hopefully it will give give us

you know an incentive to raise his

status in our lives

to raise his status on our hearts so

that we can connect to him

and so that we can try to love him more

than ourselves so that we can increase

in our iman subhanallah

you know um i want to leave you with

this is that the purpose of this

series again and again i want to

emphasize this is not to instill

fear or to make people crippled with

fear

or make us you know basically sitting

there waiting or lose hope

the purpose again is to gain practical

knowledge and act upon it

because once you know what are the

things that lead to hell fire and what

are the things

that leads to paradise then that's

practical knowledge that we could use on

our day-to-day life

so that we can get closer to the prophet

saw we can get

closer to allah and we can get closer to

jannah subhanallah

i'll leave you with this that allah will

cover up

on the day of resurrection the defects

and the fault

of those who cover up the falls of the

others on the

in this world subhanallah this is an

authentic hadith from prophet muhammad

this these are tips for us that should

be

guiding us on how we conduct with

ourselves in this life

that if we see a fault or a defect from

our brother or sister

it's like we should raise to cover it we

should raise

to basically overlook it we should find

99 reasons why we should overlook it

why we should you know dismiss it

because if we do that

then allah will cover our faults on the

day of judgment when the hadith in the

famous hadith the prophet

says to us that allah will bring bring

the slave

of his when the judgment start he will

get him close to him

and then he will put a shade or a

barrier

between him and everyone else so

basically it's a private discussion

and allah says to him

do you remember you know the so-and-so

saying oh my slave

do you remember such and such sin then

the

the the slave says yes yes

then allah says do you remember such and

such sin

then allah says the slave says

yes and then allah will keep reminding

him of sins

that he did in the in his life that

nobody knew

about except allah that allah

covered for him that he made a sitter

for him so not even the closest one

knew about those sins and then allah

will keep

you know reminding the habit the slave

of those things to the point that the

slave the prophet

is telling us that the slave would think

that's it

they are completely uh you know gone

basically they are completely screwed

then allah says the way i

shielded and i covered up for your sins

in this dunya

i will cover them up in this subhanallah

that's who we are dealing with

that's the merciful we are dealing with

subhanallah so

inshaallah you know i my hope here is

that as we move into this series we are

we gain practical knowledge that will

help us

get closer to the prophet sallam get

closer to allah

and then get closer to jannah

subhanallah
