This World Is Coming To An End, A Sermon

Ali Ibn Abee Taalib رضى الله عنه said,

“This world is soon coming to an end and will bid farewell, and the hereafter is coming and will soon begin. Today the horses are being kept in preparation, and tomorrow will be the race.

Indeed you are living in the days of hope that will be interrupted by death. Whoever falls short during the days of hope before his death comes will be doomed.

Strive hard for the sake of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى in the hope of reward as you strive hard for His sake for fear of His punishment. I have never seen anything like paradise whose seekers could sleep. And I have never seen anything like hell, those who fear which can sleep.

The one who does not benefit from the truth will be harmed by falsehood, and whoever does not benefit from guidance will be led astray by misguidance. You have been instructed to travel, and you have been told about your provision.

O people, this world is a temporary convenience; the righteous and the immoral alike may enjoy its luxuries. But the hereafter is true, and it will be ruled by a powerful King.

Satan threatens you with poverty and bids you to do evil, but Allah سبحانه وتعالى promises you forgiveness and bounty from Him, and Allaah سبحانه وتعالى cares for all and knows all things.

O people, do righteous deeds during your lifetime, and your offspring will be taken care of. Allaah الله سبحانه وتعالى has promised His paradise to those who obey Him, and He has warned of His hell for those who disobey Him. Its fire will never be extinguished, its prisoners will never be ransomed, and the one who suffers therein will never be helped. Its heat is intense, its bottom is deep and its water is a boiling fetid liquid."

[Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah, 8/7]

أكثر ما أخافه الانغماس في مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي،
What I fear most is becoming immersed in social media,

حتى يموت القلب وتكثر الغفلة،
Until the heart dies and heedlessness increases,

ويتعوّد سمعك وبصرك على بذيء الكلام
And your hearing and sight become accustomed to foul speech

الذي أصبح وسيلة للرد عند ضعاف الدين والعقل والمروءة،
Which has become a means of response for those weak in religion, intellect, and virtue,

الانغماس يجعل الحياة الواقعية ليست أولوية،
Immersion makes real life no longer a priority,

يومك مثل أمسك،
Your day becomes like your yesterday,

ووقتك واهتمامك لأشياء لا تفيد بل قد تكون سبب شقائك.
And your time and attention are for things that do not benefit, but may even be a cause of your misery.

O Allaah, by Your knowledge of all things unseen and Your power over all creation, allow me to live for as long as You know that life will be best for me, and cause me to die when You know that death will be best for me.

O Allaah, grant me reverential fear of You in secret and in public.

Make me fair and truthful whether I am pleased or angry.

Grant me moderation in times of poverty and affluence.

Grant me Your everlasting grace.

Grant me unending happiness.

Make me pleased with Your decree.

Grant me a tranquil life after death.

Grant me the delight of looking at Your Face, and a longing to meet You in a manner that does not entail any painful difficulty or trial that will lead me astray.

O Allaah, beautify us with the adornment of Eemaan, and make us guides for others, as well as rightly guided ourselves.

In only a matter of hours some of us will have concluded ⅓ (10 nights and days) of Ramadaan.

If you feel you have done well, seek to maintain and increase.

If you feel you have slacked, seek to start doing well.

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan [حفظه الله] said regarding the ten days that have passed from Ramadaan.

“So let us take account of ourselves regarding these ten days that have passed and how they were spent.

Did we have a concern and pay importance by performing acts of obedience to Allaah, and benefit from them?

*So whoever has done good in them and had a concern and paid importance to them then what is upon him is to increase in good deeds and complete what remains of the month.

Whoever was heedless in the ten days that have passed and was lazy then it is for him to repent and to rectify what remains of this month before all of it passes away, and he has not attained anything.”*

Completing the Qur’ān ’an in Ramadhān for the person who fasts is not obligatory. However, it is incumbent for the individual to increase his reading of the Qur'ān in Ramadhān consistent with the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ , as Jibrīl would review the Qur’ān with him every Ramadhān.

?:Majmū' Al-Fatāwa Ibn 'Uthaymīn

In This Month, Allāh Relieves Every Sad And Troubled One

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said: "O my dear brother, in this month, all faults and mistakes are concealed, all souls and hearts are softened, sins and burdens are forgiven and Allāh ﷻ relieves every sad and troubled one.He ﷻ says to His angels, *"O My Angels, look at those dry tongues, how they become moist with My remembrance. Look at those hard eyes, how they soften and weep out of fear of Me; and look at those delicate feet planted firmly at the stations of prayer out of desire for Me!'

O my dear brother, whenever you give food to others in this month for the sake of Allāh, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, you shall be raised to high ranks in the lofty grounds of paradise, and you will be clothed with complete goodness and stripped of all sin..."*[بستان العارفين ورياض السامعين ص 185-186]
