Do we believe

Fajr Reminders - Mahmood Habib Masjid and Islamic Center

⚠️ Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin wa Salat wa Salamu ala ashrafil abyi'i wal Mursaleem, Muhammadur Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam, tasleeman kaseeran kaseeran. My brothers and sisters, the part of our aqeedah, our creed, that the Makkans, the Quraish and the other people of Makkah, they had the most trouble with was the idea of resurrection. That after you die, you will be resurrected and called before Allah. Allah Almighty had mentioned this, wa qalu a'idha dalalna fil ardi inna fi khalqin jadeed and then Allah said bal hum biliqa'i rabi'im kafiruhu. Allah said they say that how is it possible after we die and we become one with the earth, we disintegrate, we decompose, are we going to be resurrected again, brought back alive again and Allah is responding to that and saying bal hum biliqa'i rabi'im kafiruhu. Yes indeed that will happen and you are making kufr against your ab. You are denying the meeting with your ab. And then Allah declared and said qul yatawafakum malakul mawti'l ladhi wukil abikum thumma ila rabikum turja'u. Allah said say to them, you will die. There is no doubt about this. You will die. Qul yatawafakum. And malakul mawti'l has been set upon you to take your soul and bring you to your ab. I remind myself and you that this problem of yakhin, I am not talking about intellectual understanding, I am not talking about you know just drift service and yakhin is in the belly, deep down. The problem of this yakhin, may Allah have mercy on us, continues to this day with us. Ilah masha'Allah whoever Allah has given the yakhin, may Allah give them istighmat. But others, this is the problem. Do we truly believe in, that's why we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves do I really believe that I will stand before Allah? Do I really believe that? And if the answer is yes, then what in my life, what in my actions, what in my speech, what in my decisions is evidence of this, is proof of this. Because Allah swt is not going to be satisfied with our, in any case all this yakhitiyaq is only for this dunya, all these nice words and so on. In the khabar there is no yakhitiyaq. Allah says very clearly, this will be sealed. Hands will speak, feet will speak, eyes will speak, ears will speak, the skin will speak. In another place Allah swt mentioned that the people will question their own skin, how is it that you are speaking? How is it you are bearing witness against me and the skin, the body will say, Allah swt gave me the power to speak. And this is one of the many reasons for us to deeply and sincerely study our akhita, our creed. What do you believe? What do you believe? What do I believe? What keeps me in that belief? What takes me out of that belief? For example, today somebody sent me a video, I won't mention the name because as long as the man is alive we have hope for his hidaya. But one of our very famous, he called himself a lapsed Muslim. So I have to use that word. Lapsed Muslim film actors, very famous in India, a Muslim guy with a Muslim name. He says, and he said it in Urdu which is even more important, even more, doesn't sound nice, I will not repeat the Urdu but I will translate it into English. He says, you know I always find it very strange that Allah is sitting on top there and looking at everybody, what is he doing, what is he doing, he is taking notes. He must be very busy. Inna li la hi unna al raju. Allah revealed the Quran and said that to joke, not even believing it, just joking about Allah and about Rasulullah, Allah said, qad kafartun baada imaniku. Allah said you have left the faith after you had brought faith. Joking about Allah and about Rasulullah and about Allah means about the Zat of Allah, about the promises of Allah. All of this makes, takes us out of Islam, it is as serious as that. Today we live in a world and we live in a society where everything is a joke. Everything is a joke.
