My device and sisters, this brings me to another point that I want to make here. It reminds me of how I wrote a post earlier on Quar and Reflect. And I was specifically saying how there was a story of mine in which, you know, me and my family were driving home one day. After a long busy day, being out and doing different things and going different places. And it happened to be an accident that day, right? It was said that the person ended up happening to, you know, fall asleep at the wheel and, you know, crash into. to an electrical pole, you know, supan Allah. And the thing is, what stuck out most to me

about this event that occurred is that no matter what happens in our lives as Muslims, no matter what happens in our lives as people, our life is filled of uncertainties. We don't know what's gonna happen. One minute we can be driving in the next minute, we're gone. We return to Allah, Safanahua Tadha.

One minute, we can be having fun and laughing and doing all these things in the next minute. We're faced with the calamity. that Allah's upon or what I knew was going to happen. He wrote that that was going to happen to us. But we don't know. Everything is in the hands of Allah. Yet we live as if we're going to see tomorrow.

We live as if there is certainty that tomorrow is going to happen, that the day after that's going to happen, that these certain events are going to happen, right? I don't know if I'm going to live to, you know, 10 minutes from now. I don't know if I'm going to live an hour from now. I don't know if I'm going to have 10 seconds from now. Yet we act and seem as if these certain certainty

are uncertain, that they're not going to happen. And Allah, reminds us of this countless times, especially in the Quran, when he says in Souta al-Iyamran, aya, 185, when he says that every soul is going to face death. You cannot avert it.

Every soul is going to face death. And I want to bring this back to us, my dear brothers and sisters. As we navigate throughout our days, remember Allah-Safanao-a-u-a-ha-a-ha. What does Allah-Supara-a-ha say in many ayas and saith. the Quran. You can find it in mostly every surah, except for, you know, some shorter

suras. But Allah, in Surat al-Thattah, he says, in Surat al-Thāha, he says, Inna, I'm Allah, Allahe, I fabudani, and akim the salathe al-dhri. He says, establish the prayer from my remembrance, right? He says, I am Allah. He said, I indeed, I am Allah. Worship me, believe in me, and establish prayer from my remembrance, right? Remembering a loss upon our hotel that is very important, my dear brothers and sisters. We don't know when our time is going to be up. We don't know, right? We cannot know specifically when our time is going to be up. Yes, we think maybe it's going to be to a car accident. Maybe it's going to be to someone, you know, physically hurting us or harming us. Maybe it's going to be to such and such

and such thing, whatever it could be. But we don't know, right? And just because of one little thing, we can't say, yes, see, I'm not going to die today. Because Allah's upon our heart, Allah can take your soul from you at any moment. He can take it at any moment. If he wants to take my soul right now, if he wants to take it tonight, if he wants to take it tomorrow, if he wants to take it 30 years from now, he can take it. It's up to Allah. We can make predictions.

We can make plans. We can say all these things. Oh, if this were to happen, if this were to happen, I would definitely return to Allah. Oh, if this happens in the future, I'm going to return to Allah. No. You don't know. The only thing that you know is that you are going to return to Allah. So be prepared. Prepare yourself for that meaning. Because many of us fail to prepare ourselves. And when the event comes, we've lost. We've lost everything. Because now we have not set up enough good deeds for our after. We have not repented and wiped out enough bad deeds. But instead, we sit here waiting, seeming as if there's we're going to know when we're going to return to Allah. And before we return to Allah, then we'll start doing good deeds. No, stack up your good deeds now.

Start asking of Allah. Start seeking Allah's forgiveness. Start seeking his mercy. The point that I had to come to myself. Have you ever realized that Allah, Allah, Sufana, He says multiple times in the Quran. He says, al-rahman and Rahim, in the most evident of the suras that we read.

In every last one of our seres, he says, I'm the most merciful and most compassionate Right Allah subhaphanah says this We think about a Sura named after

Arrahman He is named The most merciful That is one of Allah's upon his names Remembering That no matter what happens in our lives

When your brothers and sisters ensure that we're connecting to Allah We're remembering Allah We are ensuring that Allah supranahu He is our Rahman He is Arraim

He is al-chafo He is al-halim. Allah supranahua-Ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-la will forgive us. Allah supranahua-Talah will have mercy on us. We have to want it. We have to work towards it. We can't imagine that we're just going to be lazy all of our lives. And at the sudden point, we want our deathbeds,

all right, now I'm going to start doing good deeds. Because now you've wasted too much time. You don't know when your time's going to go. And you can't say, well, what if it goes 20 years from now? I'll just stack up. of that time in 10. No, because you don't know. We don't know.

Allah didn't give us the ability to know when we're going to return to him. Work on building a connection to Allah Sufanahu Tala at the very moment you have right now. Read Quran, read his book, learn his book. Learn it. Because the people who have the intention to learn the words of Allah supanahua Tala

and return to Allah upon it will know the whole Quran. the day of resurrection. Allah supranahua Allah will say, Icaran, read. Read in the name of your lord. You say read in the name

of your lord. Read. And you'll be able to read. For those who have a true intention, for those who perform vicar that will weigh down heavily on the scale, you imagine that.

It might seem as if it's a small phrase. Sometimes we think we have to say the longest of phrase. But just, subhanna al-h-h-h-a-h-h-a-h-h-a-h-haw-h-a-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-harm-a-h and then the prophet of Allah-a-u-slam says the best of acts are those done continuously

they are done consistently even if it may be small right? Right? even though it may be, we're just doing something very small. It may seem very small on our eyes. When you do it, a big amount, it a big pile of it, right? He says, why?

And there's two hadiths in which is where he quotes. He says, the more person does good, then the more good they'll have. And the more a person does bad, it will overtake them and destroy them completely. Because even if it's just one bad deed, one word, one thing you said, one thing you did, one thing you saw, one thing you hurt, it will all pile up until next thing you know, it's destroyed your, it's destroyed your achara. It might not have destroyed your dunya, but it will destroy your hechla. My brothers and sisters, I'm giving us this reminder because we do not know when our time is going to be up.

We do not know when Allah's upon our holyata is going to say, all right, you've had enough time on that earth. Now is your time to come back to me. Now is your time to answer to me for the wrongs that you've done, for the good that you've done. Now is the time. My dear brothers and sisters, ensure that no matter what we do in our lives, we are gaining closeness to Allah. We don't have an opportunity to come back and win. Allah, Sufano and He said in the Quran that there will be people who, when they return to him,

they see what happens down there in the grave. They see where they're going, and they say, Yeah, Rob, send us back. We would do better this time. Allah says we won't send you back. We're not going to send you back. We're not going to send you back, because guess what? You're going to do the same things you did again.

Nothing's going to change. my brothers and sisters we ask Allah who is the changer of the hearts to change our hearts towards the repentance to change our hearts towards remembering him

we ask Allah to grant us jinnah we ask Allah upon our huah to save us from the punishment of the hellfire and we ask Allah to make us among those

who have a blessed death and die upon na ilah of Allah Muhammad and Rasulah Allah Allah and his Muslims so my brothers and sisters no matter what you do

remember Allah suhphanahua Allah. Engage in acts of worship. Engage in acts of Ibadah because you don't know when your time's going to be up. Stop procrastinating. Say, oh, well, Allah could take it today but he may take it tomorrow. Don't chance it. Because you won't have an opportunity to come back.

Medibati and says as we ask Allah to forgive us our sins or our shortcomings and to grace his special mercy not only in this life but mainly in the next. We're achro da'i'u'a'u'u'a'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'u'i'u'u'amani. Thank you, Your Exit, Eamma, Yusifun. And, Slam on the Mursarine. And, thank you, Lord of the Alamian. Assalam and a.
