I'm actually in a grave right now as you
can
see Subhan Allah it's you know Allah the
Creator is saying in the
[Laughter]
Quran that every soul will taste
death and the prophet Sall wasallam had
told us to think often about The
Destroyer of Pleasures because we get
caught up living life some of us are
living a really good life acquiring
wealth having families
children and doing many good things but
then there's others that are just
delighting in their passions whims and
desires and forgetting to give thanks
forgetting to prepare for this reality
look in this box that we're going to
actually be
in it's a uh
There's Hope there for the person who's
prepared for this day who's invested in
the Hereafter who has tried to live a
good life a life that is upon pleasing
the almighty the one who has given us
life who give us death the one who we're
going to return back to we lived upon
the way that he told us to live and we
were in a constant state of of tawa of
God consciousness reminding ourselves of
this day not being heedless of it and
then it comes and we're asleep just
going through life like
zombies fitting in following our desires
and the signs come to us you might be
watching this and it's a sign to reflect
and that's that's something we can all
agree upon that death it will come to us
all so we can either be asleep to it or
we can be awake and then trying to
figure out what am I created for what's
the purpose of my life is it to acquire
houses mansions money go through all the
drama and stress and then I die and then
what I just fall asleep I turn to dust
no this is just a transition
point from here we move on to the
Hereafter the day of judgment and then
it's the deciding factor Paradise or the
Hellfire and this is what Jesus Moses
Abraham the last and final messenger
proph Muhammad peace and blessed be upon
him all of the messengers that the
Almighty sent that Allah sent they all
warned people they called people to
worship the Creator not the creation to
do good deeds and to prepare for a Day
of Reckoning of bringing oneself to
account
now and that's the test of life so this
is a great reminder for myself Subhan
Allah first and foremost and this is
where it started for me a turning point
was really contemplating and thinking
about this
moment you know that we're going to to
be in this box right
here Subhan
Allah 6 feet under and you can't take
none of it with you that's it we know
that three things follow us to the Grave
Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be
upon him and told us that your family
will follow you to the Grave your wealth
and your Deeds two will stay behind but
your deeds will come with you so let
let's really live purpose seek out
purpose if you haven't found it and the
best way to do that is with a sincere
heart asking the one who created the
heart the one who created you the one
who created me the universe and
everything in it to guide us and the
people have who have found that guidance
to live upon it no matter what you've
done in the past now is the time to get
it right to make Toba to repent and
Subhan Allah to be prepared this is I
mean this is that uh that moment that
it's going to come to us so be awake now
otherwise when the reality kicks in when
it happens and you're been asleep it's
going to be of no benefit peace be with
you
