The last breath: dr Tawfique chaudhary
April 14 th 2012 : Dubai international Peace conference.
What happens when death comes.Allah swt takes us from this life to another.Allah swears in five diff ways that after this life there will be another life ,Allah hu laillahaa ulahu then he says that definitely it will happen,he will surely gather u together ,there is no doubt that when u pass away you will enter new life.this life of seventy years is of fleeting distraction.Allah asks us again and again in Surah anbiyaa.that verily the counting of mankind has come near,and they are fooling around,they are running around this duniya in ghaflah.when a single sign comes on duniya thinking that this is not going to happen,Allah says for surety will gather us together,then why are we engrossed in duniya,it means hereafter,will come to you.Allah made us miserly,argumentative,all of these attributes being frail,inattentive in haste ,the evidence that Allah has given u good health.but do they have a guarantee that Allah is not mocking them,Allah gives good health,firawn had wealth ,but this is never a sign that Allah loves someone more therefore has given more wealth!
Surah Kahaf,Allah gave this garden which would harvest twice in the year in between the garden was a beautiful river,he said I don't think that this will ever go away and Allah loves me and last hour will not come, and if I go back to Allah I will get better.
This is what everybody thinks that as Allah loves me he has given wealth but this is not true.when he saw his garden was destroyed,he said that how I wish I had not made any shirk with Allah.your wealth ur health is not an evidence that Allah loves u this could be a mockery by Allah.
Everyone thinks that dying is an easy process but that is not true,prophet (saws )said that verily death has trials and tribulations,he was lurking his hand in a bucket and he was saying that help me during the pangs of death.
Then the speaker said that,"Every single patient of mine dying they have difficult death,the pain of death is so intense that we inject them with morphines to calm them ,and sometimes just let them die.there is nothing called the simple death,there is nothing called easy death,Allah tells us that when the soul has reached the throat indeed we are closer .
It is a distressing situation,we don't think of hereafter.we have forgotten that we will actually die,the angel of death will come!Don't think that u will live untill tomorrow,
What sort of life are we leading today?
The prophet (saws) was passing thru the grave when the horse jumped up,then prophet (saws) cried ,saying by Allah if you knew what I knew u won't find pleasure in duniya,
We spend this duniya only earning for it,if we believe in hereafter then the question is what have u done for it..
There is no doubt about the last hour but the doubt is about our preparation,don't u think by Allah we have not done much .there was not a single sahaabaah,by Allah there is nothing for us if we do not work now!!
Five step approach : to build aakhiraah
1.sincerity in building relations with Allah.we need to have ikhlaas for Allah swt.Allah created heavens and earth for Ikhlas,except to worship Allah.Surah ikhlaas,the one who narrates it Allah loves him.
Muaawiyaah,loved this Surah and used to recite this always,in praying or otherwise,so seventy thousand angels came to pray his janaazah.ask yourself this question that how many will come to pray your janazah?
Allah swt sends down the angels,take example of s Sahaabah,salaf.hate to commit shirk,do with ikhlaas.
Ibn tayimiyah says that between man and Allah ,a secret good deed that should be there,maybe two rakaah prayer,or help someone with money when no one knows,
How can we think we have ikhlaas right now.every single action I have done is for Allah,any deed i have done should be free from arrogance.strengthen those deeds,Do them regularly,prophet (saws ) said Allah loves it when you do a good deed with consistence.
Prophet (saws) said I heard your footsteps in jannah,Bilal! bilal said that he would consistently read two rakaah after wudhu,simple good deeds.
Verily actions our by our endings.
2- Seek knowledge.
Ibn tayyimiyah says quoting Hadith that whoever Allah wants good for gives him fiqh of religion,true understanding of deen,so ibn tayyimiyah says that whoever Allah does not love does not give them the knowledge of islam.attend a class,do something or the other to gain knowledge.make duaaRabbi zidni Ilmaa.
3))Act upon the knowledge:
The knowledge will help u only if you act upon it.knowlede ilm and Amal closely linked.the true aalim is who acts upon the knowledge but if the person who does not act upon it Is truly ignorant.We should be the people who act after gaining knowledge,by Allah this is seeratal mustaqeem.if we do not follow then we are from ignorant.
Acting upon the knowledge.
4)) call. People to the knowledge you have gained.
Ibn tayyimiupyah said that one of the strategy to gain knowledge is by educating others.spread from me even one verse.who is better than the one who calls others to Allah.call to islam so that this knowledge stays in heart.if we don't act upon the knowledge then this knowledge is of no benefit!
5) be firm : whatever difficulty comes to you stay on this path untill death comes to you.then you will have a beautiful death,iyaakaaa naaabudu iyaakaaa nastaeen,we ask help only from Allah.we say this as the one who worships Allah then everyone will be against you,then only Allah will save you.
