messenger from God now people I don't
really want to get into any arguments
but what I would like to talk about is
your
life I would like to talk about your
life and I'd like to begin with the
story I'd like to begin with a story of
a king there's a famous story where
there was a certain King who had been
out hunting with his dogs and he
returned to his
Palace and he was Soul thirsty
you were so thirsty he was calling I
need some water I need some
drink and there was a
scholar a learned man who used to be
close to the king so he said to the
servant when he was bringing the water
he said to the servant Give me the give
me the water cuz I want to give this
water to the king myself
personally so he went to the king and
the King was so thirsty he said give me
the water give me the water and the
scholar said look he said no he said
first I want to ask you a
question how much of your kingdom would
you give up for this glass of water if
this is the only glass of water you
could give how much of your kingdom
would you relinquish for a glass of
water he said I would give half my
kingdom to drink water I would give half
my kingdom so the
scholar he gave him the water so the
king drank the water he said thank God
he said I needed that drink of
water then after a while the scholar
waited and he could see this King felt
the need to relieve himself so the King
was getting up and the scholar said sit
down sit down first before you go I have
to ask you imagine you're not able to
relieve yourself imagine you're not able
to go to the bathroom imagine you are
not able to urinate
how much would you pay for the
ability to urinate when you're desperate
how much of your kingdom would you give
for that he said I'd give half my
kingdom he said oh my king your whole
kingdom is worth a glass of water and
urinating a glass of water your whole
kingdom is worth and this is it my
people think about it in the Quran
listen to these words please listen in
the Quran let me recite to you some
Quran
[Music]
let me translate that for
you God is saying the worldly life
distracts you that is the reality people
you are distracted by your life how fun
is your life the sun is shining I'm
riding my bike I'm drinking my Coke it's
the real thing I'm having such a good
time you know what your life distracts
you the D the world it distracts
you until you reach the grave yes the
grave death the death is the thing that
we don't think about death is the thing
we want to forget it death is the thing
we don't want to hear about death don't
talk to me we don't even call it death
we call it kicking the can he passed
away he passed away he he he left us no
death people death is the reality that
is one thing you can be sure about you
want to know something that you can be
sure about you want some shity death
death is going to come to me it's going
to come to you you can be rich you can
be poor you can be a ruler of a land
with $70 billion in your bank account
and death is going to come to you you
can be you can be Obama or you can be
the man who empties the din B death is
going to come to you man woman children
the young the old the poor the weak the
needy death is The Equalizer it is going
to come and take every single one of you
and what have you prepared what have you
prepared for death do you even know what
is going to happen when you die oh I'll
find out when I get there but listen
people by every account by every account
whether you're a Hindu whether you're a
Buddhist whether you're a Christian
whether you're a Jew whether you're a
musl Muslim every account of death tells
us that when you die it's too late you
have to decide now it's what you do in
this life that is going to determine
what happens to you when you die the
only people who say something different
are the
atheists they say there is no God this
whole universe is a random event a
random event a if I told you this bottle
randomly spontaneous
appears you'd say I was
crazy and this is simple a bottle is a
simple thing of water how about this
universe in which we live how about this
how about us our bodies are we
simple my mobile phone you know what
this mobile phone is made of
glass comes from Sand plastic comes from
oil and you know where this you know
where I found this mobile phone I was
walking around in the deserts of Saudi
Arabia plenty of oil and sand and I
picked it up a product of billions of
years of random events the oil bubbled
the wind blew the sun the sun Shone the
lightning struck and after billions of
years of random events this mobile phone
formed Itself by random processes and I
Mom
hi you know what atheists think they're
rational rational what is rational about
believing that a highly complex
Universe it is so complex that we don't
even have a model that describes the
accurate working of the atom we have to
describe it through a highly complex
mathematical equation if I showed it to
most of you you'd say what is that but
it's a random
event it doesn't make sense my people
that's
nonsense none of you would believe that
about anything so let's just put atheism
to a side because it's a fantasy but
anyone else who has some spiritual
Insight will tell you death death it's
too late once you're dead it's too late
so Allah says in the
Quran the worldly life distracts
you until you reach the
graves then you will come to know then
you're going to
know then definitely you will come to
know what are you going to know when
you're dead that Jesus is are you going
to know when you're dead what are you
going to realize when you're dead you
know what you're going to realize people
Allah says Al you know what Alim is it
is the fire of hell yes I I'm sorry I
said it Hell Fire and I don't apologize
that I'm here to warn you of a day a day
when the sun will be more close a day
when we will sweat a day when mankind
will be in Terror when they will be in
fear when we will be running like we are
in a drunken Riot but we will not be
drunk we will not be drunk with alcohol
it is the fear that will make us run
because this is the day that we denied
this is the day we ignored this is the
day we forgot it is the day of judgment
the day when our Lords our creator your
lord and my Lord will ask us about every
single thing that we have done every
atom's weight of good and every atom's
weight of evil we'll be asked about it
and Jesus Christ is our Lord and judge
Allah will ask us on that day what did
you do what did you believe why did you
believe it what did you do with this
gift I told you and I began my people I
began by telling you a story a story of
a king who was ready to give his kingdom
for a glass of water in order to drink
water he said i' give half my kingdom in
order to urinate it he would give the
other half the kingdom and what have we
done with our lives people what have we
done with our lives what have we
achieved what significance have we
achieved what have we done there's this
singer what was her name this singer
that died Amy wi house Amy wi house Amy
wine housee what name is that wine
housee but you know what I'm sorry I
feel saddened by the death of anybody
but what a name why house you know what
I'm listening about the death of this
girl who killed herself really she
killed herself through her drug
addiction but at the same time I'm
listening on the news and I'm hearing
stories of a woman in Somalia who walked
30 days 30 days she walked with her
family to live to live and we in this
Society we have everything and we throw
it away to take drugs and kill ourselves
what is that we are insane who are we to
tell the world how we should live it's
ridiculous it's ridiculous what do we
have to offer cocacola
cars pollution
depression drugs what have we got really
in this Western Society consumerism the
consumer society that is killing our
planet we really want the world to live
the American dream there isn't enough of
the world for everyone to live the
American dream don't you know that they
calculated that every every human being
on this planet lived how the average
American lived we would need the
resources of three planets to sustain
human life if every human being that is
because 177% of the world's population
consumes 70% of its
resources 40% of the world's wealth is
in the hands of about 400 50 human
beings think about that think about that
think about who controls the information
that comes to your head think about who
controls the information that you
receive on the TV who controls it who
feeds your mind really are you thinking
people do you sit and think about your
life do you think where you came from
and where you're going to do you think
about death have you prepared for that
Journey you know my people anyone of you
would go on a
holiday you know what you'd do if you
went to a Strange Land you'd prepare
you'd get a Visa youd get the currency
you've learned about the diseases in
that land you'd prepare yourself what
have you prepared for death what have
you prepared for the day when you will
meet your lord and your Creator and you
will stand in front of him naked no
clothes you know you can't take it with
you when you go people
