00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:07,900
I want to share with you a story
that shook me and it shook the 

2
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:10,600
people who are there at the 
moment that this happened, 

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,300
approximately seven years ago in
Ireland, the University students

4
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,100
there. 
The boys, actually, specifically

5
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:20,800
the men. 
They had a hiking survivalist 

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,900
type of camp or retreat in which
they were trying to live off of 

7
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,100
the basic resources of nature. 
This was a really rough can And 

8
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,800
they never did this again as 
they were hiking, the mountains,

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,300
one of the brothers, I think 20 
or 21 years old, he slipped. 

10
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,700
And when he fell something 
punctured, his body and he 

11
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,500
started bleeding out. 
Now, he's bleeding out there in 

12
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,100
the middle of nowhere and they 
don't know what to do. 

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,300
None of them are practiced 
Physicians, none of them are 

14
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:50,100
certified to do anything. 
All they did was, as he's on the

15
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:52,400
ground, they started putting 
pressure on the wound and the 

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
one who's saying this to me and 
he's almost crying as he's 

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,600
relaying the story. 
He said, we told him everything 

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,800
will be okay, don't worry, he's 
bleeding out. 

19
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,500
You have no cell phone 
reception, you have nothing, 

20
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,600
nobody to help you and as he's 
bleeding out and they're telling

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,900
him their surrounding him 
telling him, everything will be 

22
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:09,900
okay. 
The one who's saying, this to me

23
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:12,900
said, I started worrying. 
What if this guy died right now?

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,300
What if he actually dies? 
So he said, just in case I told 

25
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,000
him to say that, you know, in 
the lung, a phrase that for you,

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,500
and I right now you can say, so 
lightly, your lips don't have to

27
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,100
move La ilaha illa Allah, I know
like half of you, just tried it 

28
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:31,000
La longue, the phrase of 
salvation, Ian, the phrase of 

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,500
happiness and success, the 
phrase of the prophet sallallahu

30
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,600
alehiwassallaam in The 
Messengers worked for. 

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,900
So you and I could say it today 
Loreena in no more. 

32
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,800
They told him say that it had a 
long, he did not respond. 

33
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,200
He said can you hear us? 
He said I can hear you. 

34
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,600
He said just in case ala Inna 
had no law. 

35
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:48,600
No response. 
Can you hear us? 

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200
I can hear you say that. 
LOL. 

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,500
Why are you not saying that? 
You know how long he remains 

38
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,700
silent for a moment? 
And then finally he opens his 

39
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:59,300
mouth and he says for the last 
six months, when I was alone in 

40
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,500
private, Did not pray a single 
prayer to Allah and then he 

41
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,500
died. 
May Allah have mercy on him and 

42
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,000
use him as a lesson. 
For everyone else all his 

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,600
friends, his click his buddies, 
they started crying. 

44
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Some of them said, later on, 
they struggled with these 

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
similar struggles, they 
struggled with other struggles. 

46
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,100
That moment was Vivid, why? 
Because you will die upon what 

47
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,600
you lived upon. 
And you'll be resurrected upon 

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200
what you died upon as the 
prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,800
informed us. 
How can you? 

50
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200
And I put in the effort today 
and never lose hope. 

51
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,400
So that at the moment, our souls
Our departing from our bodies. 

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,600
We are able to say that, you 
know, in the law in a very 

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,900
powerful way, in a very clear 
way, not so others can witness 

54
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,100
it but for ourselves because 
that either in the law at the 

55
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,300
moment of death is something 
that you have to pay for. 

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000
It's not free. 
Otherwise everyone would do it, 

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
it's something you have to live 
by and it's something that 

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,000
causes us and requires us to 
exemplify that either had a lot 

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,900
throughout our lives by never 
giving up on her turning to 

60
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,900
Allah by never losing. 
Hope in the mercy of Allah. 

61
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,600
By always trying Allah. 
Subhanahu wa'ta'ala will not 

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,500
necessarily judge you based on 
your results, but he will judge 

63
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:09,800
you based on your sincerity and 
your efforts. 

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
How bad do you want to return to
a lot? 

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,600
And what are you willing to do 
about it? 

66
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,300
How bad do you want to say la la
la? 

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,100
And what are you willing to live
by to reach that point? 

68
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,000
Because the only thing all of 
mankind will agree upon. 

69
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,700
It's not death and taxes some 
countries don't have taxes. 

70
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,800
The only thing that all of 
mankind will agree upon is 

71
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,900
death, every one of us knows 
that Eventually, one day will 

72
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,400
depart from this world, it's not
a sad thought, and it's not a 

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600
thought that should cause us to 
be gloomy or depressed, or 

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,200
stagnant in our actions, death 
is a thought that should get us 

75
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,500
to act more productively today. 
Death is a thought that should 

76
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,600
get us to be more grateful for 
the blessings that we have. 

77
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,700
And to use those blessings in 
ways that are pleasing to Allah 

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,400
subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 
If you want a good ending in 

79
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,300
this world, always return to 
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala sooner

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,100
than later, never procrastinate.
Your return to Allah is always 

81
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,300
waiting for you and I And he is 
the most loving the most 

82
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:05,500
forgiving they ever living Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala is the most 

83
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,200
gracious. 
His Mercy cannot be limited, I 

84
00:04:08,208 --> 00:04:11,200
lost a parent, I reminds us in 
the Quran of the type of person 

85
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,900
reflect on this scenario in 
Surat al-mulk mean Universe. 99 

86
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:18,899
Allah tells us of a scenario of 
a man who dies and he's asking 

87
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,399
to come back to this life. 
I will I is one of the most 

88
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,400
frightening versus to read 
because we reflect on the 

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,100
reality that people are passing 
away all around us. 

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,100
Perhaps several hundred around 
the world every A few seconds. 

91
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:33,800
Are we learning lessons from the
people that we bury are? 

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400
We learning lessons from the 
Genesis that we attend from the 

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,300
Facebook post about people who 
have passed away, are we 

94
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,400
changing anything in our lives 
or Have? 

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,300
We Become adapted adjusted to 
the way of life that were 

96
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:49,900
exemplifying palazzo. 
Pants are reminds us had either 

97
00:04:49,900 --> 00:05:04,300
job Not on the Noose, on your 
hands FEMA talked. 

98
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,400
So when a person passes away, he
says to his Lord, Allah be 

99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,100
Reggie ruin. 
My Lord allow me to go back. 

100
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,700
Why Dandy Amadou Sonia and FEMA 
to rock so I can do something 

101
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:19,100
good with what I left behind so 
I can perfect one last prayer Ya

102
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,800
Allah let us go back so we can 
ask people for forgiveness since

103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,900
we've wronged so many people. 
He Allah let us go back so we 

104
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:29,300
can leave matters on a good note
with our parents with our 

105
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:31,100
spouses. 
With our children, with our 

106
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:34,000
neighbors with people who have a
right upon us, he Allah, let us 

107
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600

So we can use our wealth in ways

00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,300
that are pleasing to you. 
Ya Allah, let us go back for 

109
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,500

Last chance, one last 

110

opportunity to really exemplify 
lalalala, to really return to

In a sincere repentance, we all

blessing that you have is that

any moment to Simply say, Allah,

Help me to worship you. 
To praise you.

manners, we ask Allah subhanahu 

123
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,400
wa'ta'ala to make us of those 
who live in such a state and die

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,400
upon such a state.
