peace how are you alhamdulillah thank
you very much for being with us today oh
my pleasure we like to get straight down
to the topic okay you have a a a series
that you did Journey to the Hereafter we
encourage everyone to go to the website
theen show.com we have his
um series it's under the video page and
it takes you through a step by step of
what happens when death reaches you and
then the steps from there now we want to
ask you some specific
questions a lot of people we try to
reach out to the non-muslims and uh
explain to them about
Islam and in in a very simple way now
one thing we like for you to simplify is
this misconception that everyone dies in
peace you've heard this where you know
he went to a better place yeah you know
he he at least he died in peace let's
talk about this
yeah such a such a difficult topic to
talk about you know because really it's
just the it's the most difficult time of
a person's life you know we think that
everyone dies in peace right uh but the
prophet told us something else he said
uh in the authentic Hadith it's in ab
and he said that
verily death has its trials and
tribulations and death has its turmoils
and it stress and pressure and pain
that's amazing because the prophet
himself was going through a lot of pain
and difficulty in his own time of death
and we know that the prophet was
actually asked for a bucket of of water
to be brought um and he kept on dipping
his hand in there and then rubbing his
face and then dipping his hand into it
and rubbing his face and and then you
know fa walked in and said yeah yeah ABI
oh my father look how much pain you in
he said yes indeed I feel double the
pain that anyone else feels in this
earth meaning that's how Allah was
actually going to raise his level in
Jenna by actually giving him more
difficulty more pain uh and so and and
also at that point he said and he kept
on dipping his hand and rubbing his head
and he
said verily death has difficulties and
pain verily death has his has his trials
and tribulations let's go into what we
said in the beginning of the show the
place that's very hot and it's not
something from Hollywood Bollywood it's
a reality it's the Hellfire in Arabic
Janam that's correct can you describe it
a little bit talk to us paint a picture
of this place where someone can end up
eternally yeah you see the concept of
Janam is not the concept of Janam that
uh you know perhaps Christians may have
you if you ask Christians for example
okay what is hellfire to you many of
them would say you know Hellfire is they
have this vague notion what Hellfire is
you know they have this these Hollywood
images of perhaps you know know Satan
being there the fire coming out of here
but then you end up falling into this
piece of ground in which there's nothing
there uh as far as you know and they
have these vague vague ideas some of
them even say things such as you know
jahanam is like this Earth anyway you
know it's like this Earth is difficult
and you have to work hard you know to in
a living that's a concept of jahannam
the concept of jahannam that Allah
subhah wa tala tells us in the Quran is
totally different it's totally different
it is a fire that has been lit for 70
years until it became became White and
then 70 years until became became uh red
and then 70 years until it became black
it is a fire from which a stone was
thrown from the top of which only after
70 years it reaches the bottom it is a
fire that the prophet
says Allah says in the
Quran n verily it is the la la in Arabic
means something that when as soon as it
touches vaporizes and destroys so it is
a fire that is so intensely hot that it
vaporizes and and burn straight away you
know like you don't you nearly don't
even have time to sweat you know how
some get so hot there's no way of
sweating because it just evaporates
right away this is not something that
will evaporate it actually destroys the
whole skin straight
away Allah says and it is a fire that
has been created to scale the skin and
to burn and tear away the skin as soon
as it touches so this is a concept of of
fire and and we know the fire is huge
because the prophet said Allah also says
that uh it's amazing verse he said
verily the fire throws out Sparks when
you see the Sparks when you see the
Sparks coming out you think that they're
like holds of camels huge Sparks camels
a huge animal right yes in front of it
when you see it sparking it's like a
huge ho of camels running away and then
he
says the spark itself is as huge as a as
a castle and when it goes and the and
huge Sparks come out you think like they
are these running hordes of camels so
they're so huge and we know the prophet
also described that the that Janam has
70,000 rings and each ring uh is a rope
and and each rope is being pulled by
70,000 Angels it's an indication of how
great the number is um of of Janam we
know that Janam also uh it has an
insatable thirst you know it it keeps on
asking for more and more and more and
then you know Allah subh when he also
tells in the Quran that he he will
ask when Allah says in the Quran Surah
in Surah he says and and and when Allah
asks
Jam Are You full yet and J will
say Allah said more I want more and so
the the authentic narration narate that
that that Janam will not be satisfied
until Allah subhana wa tal stumps it
with his own feet now for our non-muslim
viewers who uh they heard uh some few
Arabic uh words and so they don't feel
like they have to take an Arabic class
yeah can you just Define some of like
you said Allah you said the U the
prophet you said um some other um Arabic
words can you just for our non Muslim
audience can you define these yeah of
course Allah is is God the one and only
deity worthy of worship that's that's
God and he is not one of three he is one
in one uh that is who God is uh and he
is a one worthy of worship uh and
Muhammad that is the messenger of Allah
u a man who lived, 1400 years ago in
Arabia uh and we believe that he is the
last of the abrahamic prophets uh and
that all the other prophets attested to
his prophethood and he is a final
prophet of of God and I also spoke about
what else we speak about was uh you talk
about uh well we'll go on as we uh as we
go on we just Define some of these words
now we're we're why do we talk talk
about this why is this serious to us and
many people they think this is like some
joke and and I want to tell the people
this is actually out of the the the the
love for the people that we want to not
see them there we want to see them in
Paradise so we're trying to warn them at
the Hellfire yeah because you see the
whole point is that religion is a
serious business it's serious it's it's
reality it it is truth it is the truth
it's not something you just do once a
week or God ex if you believe God exists
then you should know that God has power
to do what he Wills yeah he has a right
to do what he Wills we believe in a God
that does what he Wills we believe in
believe in a god that is more merciful
to us than our own parents yet at the
same time we believe in a God that also
has the attribute of of kingship he is
the king of the heavens and the Earth
and being the kings of the heavens and
the Earth he has a right to uh honor and
glory and authority and power and
nobility right and so if someone were to
then question his honor question his
authority he he he's a king of the
heavens and the Earth he can do what he
wills and what what he pleases and he uh
wished to have mercy on those people
that he loves and he wants to be good to
and so he has given them an eternal
Paradise that the eyes have never seen
let's talk about that now describe the
paradise for
us Paradise what will tell you what
Paradise is uh Allah says in the Quran
that he has prepared for believers that
which no eyes have seen no ears have
heard and no Hearts have ever thought of
if you can think of anything that is the
most beautiful thing that you can
imagine then Paradise is better than
that and if you can imagine a place
wherein there is no sleep because you
will not you will not want to sleep
because you don't have to sleep and plus
it's all about enjoyment if you can
imagine a place wherein you don't have
to uh do anything everything is is done
for you presented to you if you can
imagine a place wherein the first of
your family and the last of your family
are together with you if you can imagine
a place in which it's all about eternal
blessings and happiness and about
enjoyment if you can imagine a place
wherein uh wherein you will you will
dine and you will Feast not out of
hunger or need but you will do so out of
pleasure because it is a means of
pleasure for human beings if you can
imagine a place wherein uh you will be
able to fly in in Paradise like a bird
that is what Paradise if you can imagine
a place that is Everlasting that is like
the heavens heavens and the Stars uh at
each level being the distance of of the
heavens of when you look up that's just
one level of 100 levels of paradise if
you can imagine Rivers flowing in
Paradise if you can if you can imagine
that whenever you want to eat a fruit
that the tree actually bends itself and
comes to you and presents presents
itself if you wanted to look and if you
want to eat um a um a bird or or a or a
a fowl for example it would it would
become barbecued and presented in front
of you straight away as soon as you
desire it if you can imagine the most
you you know the absolute pleasure that
you that you'd want uh any sort of
pleasure any sort of blessing that you
want that is the Perfection of pleasure
and that is exactly what Jenna is and
that's forever ever no more no more
stress anxiety no more stress no more
anxiety how about the headache I got to
take Advil it's
finished yeah no more of those no more
cold sickness fever man uh um that's
amazing stuff isn't it amazing amazing
because because remember time itself is
a creation of God yeah yeah so God
intended there to be time so that's why
we can't define God according to time
it's his invention right yes so
therefore eternity itself is a is we're
trying to say that according to our own
definition of time but that itself is a
is a creation of of God so therefore yes
forever there is not ever going to be a
time where I know that said God's going
to change his mind and say no more
everyone get out of jenah get out of
paradise and go go back to your Earth or
whatever it is and do you actually in
Paradise get to see the face of your
creator you do get to see the face of
your creator that's one of the most
beautiful things isn't it isn't it for
you to actually see Allah you know the
one that you've been worshiping and
praying to and saying I wish I could see
him you know that is the most the worst
thing that could really happen to you is
for you to live in eternity and never be
able to see God that would just be
horrible people horrible people get
excited to meet the Donald Trumps of the
world the Michael Jackson they're
pulling their hairs out and and now but
we should be striving to see our creator
that's right that's right the creator of
Donald Donald Trump that's right people
are are they have uh you know actually
way back they actually had a show where
now they'd film people their reaction to
who they wanted to meet so now they get
to meet this person and they and then
you can see him just going frantic
they're about to meet Michael Jackson or
the Don I know what you mean yeah yeah
so good Lord this is something amazing
to really see but why do you think so
many people aren't striving to meet
their creator they're not really
pondering over this because I I believe
that there's a lot of distractions
distractions yeah a lot of distractions
like for example you know messages from
which people are unfortunately being
being fooled yeah let me give you an
example okay let's say Coke you know
when you think about Coke what do you
what do you think of you think about a
nice bottle that's nicely shaped right
yeah and when you see an advert of for
for for a Coke what what do you see see
you know girls in bikinis and men with
pumped abbs and ripped abs and you know
pumped bodies and you know on the beach
and they're playing beach volleyball
whatever it is right what's a reality
reality is when you drink cold Coke you
get fat right yeah it's a reality it's a
distraction you see these are all
distractions taking you away from the
reality music in the same way is a
distraction taking away from the reality
if music was was really happiness and
enjoyment why was it that the ones who
had the most music Elvis Presley why did
he have to kill himself the guy had to
kill himself and he had anything he
wanted money girls music whatever he
wanted was the epitom right there there
Marilyn Monroe why did she have to kill
herself the queen of the of the cinnemon
why and the the new one that just died
that was mimicking her Anna Nico smth ni
Smith why did she have to kill herself
she was every man wanted her right and
she had money she had wealth she had
everything why did she she taking drugs
like crazy she's what in the world it's
because these are distractions nothing
gives you true pleasure like truly
knowing your creator nothing gives a
pleasure except knowing your purpose in
life and believe me when you don't know
your purpose in life that life is not
worth living when you think your purpose
in life is is to buy a dog when you
think that your key has a purpose and
your your key chain has a purpose and
your your door has a purpose your car
has a purpose your computer has a
purpose and you don't have a purpose
that is absolutely pathetic I'm sorry
but you're better than that okay so I
think you know take away stay away from
all these distractions clear your mind
don't let these distractions bother you
think about what is the purpose of a
human being why was it created why am I
here why am I going to pass away and you
know you're going to pass away your
parents have passed away your family's
passed away people you know have passed
away you know you're going to pass away
why you going to pass away what's going
to happen when you pass away is it
really that there's no you know nothing
after after death or is there really
something where did you come from did
you come from nothing you came from
nothing so therefore uh you know what is
the purpose of your life try and search
for that I'm sure once once someone
searches for that and really starts to
give themselves value that's when you
start questioning and asking these
really important questions it's
unfortunate that we you know give all
these other things value we don't give
our own life value that's just not
acceptable sh a couple more points we
want to cover we want to give the people
the formula to get to paradise and stay
away from the
Hellfire formula for getting to paradise
and staying away from Hellfire great you
know Paradise is surrounded by
difficulty and hellfire surrounded by
enjoyable beautiful things that's not to
say that you can't enjoy Islam and that
Islam is all about difficulty no it's
just to say that
ultimately uh Paradise is a very
expensive gift it's an expensive gift
right when it's expensive you got to
earn it yeah yeah that's why Allah says
in the Quran God says in in the Quran he
says and for the example of that let the
competitors compete let the competition
be begin is is what Allah is saying
right because it's a competition for the
heavens and the Earth why should we not
compete and then Allah also says in the
Quran and compete you one another for
the heavens for the paradise that is the
expanse of the heavens and the Earth
prepared for the Believers so let's
compete Eddie you me we're going to
compete for the Jenna because ultimately
that's Eternal that's what I'm talking
about and the 70 years of our life here
is just not worth it it's not worth it
at all it's going to go like that I I
remember you know when when I was 10
years younger and it's just now like oh
my god look just that was a 10 years
younger and you suddenly see someone
right you haven't seen 10 years ago oh
my God has it really been 10 years and
before you know it your life is flashing
out in front of your eyes it's like a
breeze in the wind you know and and then
you're on your deathbed and everyone's
rushing and everyone's trying to you
know pump your heart and put some drugs
into you try and revive you and you see
your life flashing away in front of you
and you say oh my god I've done nothing
in this world I have not have not left
any lasting Legacy my parents don't know
me my children have disowned me I have
no no ha no goodness nothing I've left
on this Earth and that is the most uh
that is that's the worst thing you could
do as a human being I think that's
that's just that's just a poor example
of human being rather give yourself
value come back to God come back to uh
the truth uh uh learn about your purpose
in life when you do then you learn about
about Paradise learn about how to come
closer to closer to God uh that will
bring you closer to Paradise so really
the gates To Paradise is just like a key
and the key is the shahada and that is
shahada meaning the testimony of faith
that is to believe that there's only one
God uh that is worthy of worship and
that Muhammad is is his messenger uh
Muhammad uh the prophet is his messenger
and that is a key to Paradise then
thereafter when you believe in your
heart you have to have actions of the
limbs right because when you when you
believe in your heart you got to show it
on your on your on your limbs you got
act you to act upon it right otherwise
if you don't act upon it that's that's a
hypocrite is yeah so first you believe
then you act upon it so what's actions
well actions of Islam such as prayer and
fasting such as pilgrimage to mecah such
as fasting in Ramadan uh abstaining from
food and from sexual intercourse in the
days of Ramadan uh not not the nights uh
and and these are the pillars of Islam
through which you then enter into Jenna
and then you stay away from those things
which God has prohibited such as what
such as associating partners with him
such as for example uh uh adultery such
as for example killing a soul Beyond uh
that Allah has not given you given you
right for such as for example um you
know dealing in interest and and usury
uh and these are things that that really
will take away from from Paradise
towards towards Jenna let's just let's
talk about just one more point about the
one thing you talked about associating
partners with the Creator give us
elaborate on this a little bit why this
is so dangerous yeah it's it's it's
dangerous because you know people don't
really think about this and think they
they think it's something really simple
because you know you can just say God
has a son God has a partner and God has
a has a wife and it's very simple words
that we use these days without thinking
about the gravity of it but in reality
if you knew that God was a king if you
knew that God had great honor and his
honor was greater than yours You' be
very careful about the words that you
use because ultimately you're going to
offend the offend the word offend offend
offend God and imagine if the queen was
in front of you the Queen of England or
you had the president of the United
States you be extremely careful about
the words that you use and that is only
a human being was only elected for for a
few years what about God the Eternal God
and are you not meant to be careful
about associating partners with him
because ultimately think about it if
there were multiple gods wouldn't there
be Chaos on this Earth wouldn't there be
chaos in the in the universe one God
would have this will one God would have
that will and we know that even
Christianity with this with this form of
Trinity was only really uh not was not
initially there was Unitarian belief
before it was only in in in 300 uh uh ad
when uh in the uh uh in the Council of
NAIA when they decided to actually take
Trinity as the basic faith of of
Christianity and then they killed other
unitarians uh and ultimately ultimately
that's when Christianity became a Pagan
religion because ultimately what
happened was Rome wanted a political
system through which they could maintain
the Pagan belief as well as the growing
Christian population and so they said so
Constantine said basically in in 320 BC
ad if I remember correctly he basically
said you know what I need a political I
need a system through which my people
will who are pagans will accept it and
the Christians will also accept it so
they came up with this Pagan Christian
faith of Trinity three Gods instead of
one so the pagans are happy because
there's more than one and Christians are
happy because now you know they got more
than one God to go back to and and you
know this is crazy there's only one God
there's only one God worship him alone
God worship him alone no partners with
him no partn simple message very simple
message shake I'd like to thank you very
much for being with us it's really my
pleasure inah we can have you back again
it will be my my absolute pleasure to be
back again thank you thanks and I'd like
to thank everybody for sitting tight
