Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. And praise be to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and his companions. And many, many thanks. And then what? My brothers and sisters, Death is not something unique. It's not something that we are shocked with. Death is a part of life. Allah announced and Allah told us, All souls taste death. And indeed, you will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection. So whoever is shaken by the Fire and enters Paradise has won. And the life of this world is nothing but the death of all living things. Allah says, Every living thing will die. Every living thing will die. And you will surely get your full reward on the Day of Judgment. And then Allah gave us a criteria. Who Goshhzeh An-Nari Wa takiego ah is such a person whom Allah finally mentions to Him and Who will that班 خَرَ tangled in live that other person? Well, strength, So the first thing we do is we make du'a for your mother, our sister. May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdausul Aala bi Ghairi Hisab. May Allah fill her qawar with Noor. May Allah ease the path onwards for her. And may Allah give her and keep her and deal with her in a way that she could never have imagined in keeping with His Majesty and His Grace and His Generosity. Then Rasulullah said in the famous hadith in Muslim, Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulullah said, when the human being dies, when the son of Adam dies, all his deeds, all her deeds come to an end. A'n Abi Hurairah radiallahu anhu qaal, Qaal Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Izaa maata bani Adam intafa' aamaluhoo illa min salaas, sazaqatu jaariya, au ilmu yantafa' bihi, au waladun salihun yad'u lahu. Rawahu Muslim. When a person dies. All deeds come to an end. So the first thing we understand from the ayat which I recited is the criterion of success. It's not how much money you have, which car you drive, what kind of house, none of that. Will you and I be freed from the hellfire and will we get Jannah? This is the criterion of success. Nobody can know for sure, so we keep on trying to be among those people who, inshallah, will be given Jannah. By staying away from everything which Allah prohibited, by doing what Allah told us to do, and by making a lot of istighfar, because no matter what we do, we will make mistakes, we have to. Allah has left the door of tawbah open, we use it. From the hadith, which I narrated, one part of it just... I'll tell you this now and the rest we'll see, inshallah. Rasulullah said, all deeds end with death. So the first thing we understand from that is what? Do it now. Anything good that you want to do, do it now. Don't wait till tomorrow because we don't know, nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. Do it now. Go to the masjid to pray, don't wait for somebody to bring you to the masjid. When you have money, give charity. Don't wait for a time, when? Because of life and things, you will not be able to give charity. Don't wait to do something good, which requires physical effort. If you have not done hajj, go do hajj. Don't wait until now you are so old, you cannot do and your fard is still not fulfilled. Whatever you do. Whatever good you think of doing, do it immediately, don't postpone it. And then Rasulullah said, all deeds end with death except three. Illa thalath. One, sadaqatul jariya. Two, any knowledge, beneficial knowledge. Two, any knowledge, beneficial knowledge. Three, the knowledge that you have been given, you teach it. And three, children who are salihaeen, who are good children, who are pious children, who make dua for you. Now think about that, these three things also refer to the actions of the individual himself or herself. Sadaqatul jariya, who is going to give it? You. My sadaqatul jariya, who must give? I. Ongoing charity, something which continues after you die.
