Ibn Hajar, Rahimahu Allah, it was mentioned that he was dressed very well he was dressed very well and he was wearing very good garment and a Jew man saw him and he said to him to ابن حجر العسقلاني you as an individual and Muslims are the ones who say that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said الدنيا سجن المؤمن وجنة الكافر that this dunya is a prison of the believer and a paradise of the disbeliever but look at you, you're the one who's dressed nice you're the one who's wearing good clothes you're the one who has a riding beast and I'm a Jew, I have nothing, I'm struggling in this world I'm more in prison in this world than you ابن حجر, being who he is and the man who explains صحيح البخاري he quickly responded and said to him I am the one who's in a prison because for me in this dunya this dunya is a prison in comparison to what awaits me on the other side and you are in a paradise compared to what awaits you on the other side if you don't return to Islam that day when the death, your نفس reaches your collarbone right here, Allah says كَلَّ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِي it reaches your collarbone كَلَّ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِي وَقِيلَ مَن رَاكِ and then the people say where's the doctor, where's the doctor call the doctor, she's about to die, he's about to die وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقِ and the person, it becomes clear to him and her that the doctor can't do anything for them no one can help you today, you're alone you start realizing that your legs start to lose its life the نفس has been moved from your legs it's been moved to your knees it's going up, you're dying prepare for that day sisters, Wallahi brothers prepare recently the other day just last week one brother he lost his wife at the age of 25 his wife was 25 years of age death came and it knocked on his door death comes, it doesn't look at your age it doesn't look at your background it doesn't look at who you know and who you're linked with and your friends, it doesn't care it will come and it will take you from this world and the truth of the matter is that the only person who's going to be saved is the one who didn't take his religion as a joke I went to British Library whilst I was studying my university I used to have a university card ID so I was permitted to go to the British Library and I got to know the workers there and they would let me take manuscripts and what not one day I was on the tilt and I was waiting for a copy of one of the books so the book I was looking for was one of the books written by Siraj-ud-Din al-Bulqini so I went Wallahi, this is a true story Siraj-ud-Din al-Bulqini's Kitab I wanted I asked, can you copy this for me as I was asking for the book a white British English came over stood right next to me and he said, I've seen you come here but he said, why do you say Siraj-ud-Din al-Bulqini he said it to me I said, that's how the scholars say it that's how it's said in the books and that's how I read it he said, the correct name is Siraj-ud-Din al-Bulqini Wallahi, he was right I researched and I found out it was correct he's right and I was amazed and I called some of the Mashayikhs and I told them and they said, really? they researched, they came back to me they said, yeah, it's right are you with me brothers?
if you go to the libraries today in the western countries like for example the UK and others the majority of the people who are in the library are not Muslims the non-Muslims are not in the library they're the ones who are reading they're the ones who are studying they're the ones who are researching the Muslims don't read none of us here have been promised paradise alive has anyone been promised Jannah? you don't know where you're going to be and you don't know where you're going to end you don't know where your final abode is going to be when I was coming on my way right now I called my mum and as I was speaking to my mum she said to me your face is glowing and my face has become old my mum said this to me I said to your mum in four months from now I'm going to turn 30 and then we started to talk about when I first started my teenage I was first 13 then I finished and then I started in the 20s and then now 30 starting to hit 30 and then it's no matter of time that you see yourself very old you as an individual every single moment you live you're getting closer to your grave and you're getting closer to the day you're going to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what is it that you have prepared and what is it that you have put forward the Salaf of this Ummah the pious predecessors what they used to do is because they knew they were going to die and because they knew death would come to them they would dig a grave in their house they would what? they would dig a grave in their own house and they would lie inside it they would lie inside the grave he would actually rehearse and play out the inevitable event that's going to take place he would lie inside the grave he would try to get the feeling of what is going to be inside here and then he would say قَالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُونِ لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِي مَا تَرَكْتُ
Oh Allah take me back to the dunya again why? so I can come with righteous actions this is what he would say and then because he has the opportunity to come out this time because he is the one who is rehearsing it he would clean the dust from himself and then he would walk on the earth and he would say a second chance has been given to you benefit from it he would say that to himself this is one thing that we also need to take is that when we come to these places we need to remember they didn't come here and they didn't drive they came here to defend the religion of Allah and to put their chest forward so the arrows can go directly to them so this religion can be high where he is enjoying their efforts and their hard work don't play around with this religion a people sweated for it blood shed for it efforts and hard work was put towards it when you come to this place you remember the noble companions that walked here with the messenger and they did not leave his corners they stood shoulder to shoulder with him and they fought until they dropped I think I mentioned it recently that some of the Saliheen they used to pray Qiyamul Layl and their legs would become so weak their legs become tired they can't carry their legs they have a stick next to them they take the stick they beat their leg and they say to themselves Qum stand do you want to compete with Muhammad and his companions in Jannah and you are tired he is saying that to what? he is saying that to his legs and his body you see when I looked at the lives of the companions you realize that the Prophet ﷺ had to tell the companions to be easy on themselves that's what you find a lot of places one of the benefits I read was that because of that Allah told these companions he said وَلَا تَنْصَى نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا don't forget your dunya they were told just don't forget your dunya our ones is don't forget the Akhirah صحيح it's the opposite it was mentioned in some of the books Ibn Jawzi mentioned in Kitab Bahar al-Dumur this book is heart softening book in that book he mentioned that a man was requested for him to lead the prayer a group of people they said to him lead, lead, lead he said I don't want to lead they pushed him forward he said no, no, somebody else lead and then they said to him please lead and then he said ok, I'm going to lead today but I'm not going to lead tomorrow don't ask me to lead another day then they said to him go back, don't lead us do you believe you're going to live for that long we pray our prayer this one like it's our last Ibn Taymiyyah Rahim Allah as a young child he spent his time في الجد والاجتهاد he worked hard and he put a lot of efforts in يا إخوة the people differ people want to be of that caliber but they don't want to put no efforts in people differ يا إخوة at times when people sleep and they go to sleep if you want to be different you have to be different by not sleeping you shouldn't be doing what other people are doing if you want to be different from the people you need to do things that people don't do when it comes to working hard and putting effort in my advice to you brothers is that every one of you are going to come to this world and you're going to leave ask yourself what have you served this deed what have you done for your religion what have you bought for it don't be a person who came to this world and your presence and your absence is the same the messenger ﷺ in one of the battles al-Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim both narrated an arrow was thrown at the Prophet ﷺ Abu Talha r.a he saw the arrow coming from far and when he saw the arrow coming Abu Talha r.a he put himself forward for it and the arrow hit him the messenger ﷺ looked and he saw the arrow sticking out from Abu Talha Abu Talha r.a looked at the messenger ﷺ and he said to the Prophet do like this O Messenger of Allah ﷺ everything for you O Messenger of Allah ﷺ no arrow will ever hit you please brothers please ponder on this inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raja' this is shocking Abdur Rahman ibn Madin said if it was said to Hamad ibn Salama if it was said to Hamad ibn Salama innaka tamutu ghadan tomorrow you are going to die maa qadara he was not able an yazida fil amri shai'a he could not increase in his righteous actions if he was told that tomorrow the angel of death is coming he is going to take your nuts you are going to die Hamad ibn Salama had already exhausted himself there was nothing else he could do the believers they always live their life as though this can be the last minute al aakhiru lahaba your last moment in this world wallahi we don't know we don't know when we are going to die and when we are going to meet Allah azza wa jal we work hard everyday this is what we do when you die and you depart from this world that's it the journey that has started for you is going to carry on you are now in a world other than the world you used to be in you are not with the loved ones your family are going to go home and they are going to divide the wealth that you left behind the wealth that you exerted all that effort in they are now thinking of how is it inherited even before you were placed in the grave you lost your name you were not referred to by your name when they were washing your body they were saying lift the dead body turn over the dead body you've lost even your name now you are in your grave this is a whole different place your family are going to leave you your wife is waiting for that period of time that iddah to finish and as soon as that iddah finishes she is now out looking to get married your children are going to look at another man as their stepfather life will move on the world will not stop for you you are the only one who thinks that you matter Imam Al-Bukhari straight after that what did he bring he brought the story of the man the Prophet said there was a man there was a merchant he used to lend money to the people and whenever he saw his debtor the person who took the money and the wealth from him when he saw him he was strained and it was hard on him to pay back and his circumstances wasn't as good what he would say is let this man go his situation isn't bright he doesn't have the wealth to pay us back now let's leave him Allah may let us go in the day of Jannah فَتَجَوَصَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ and the narration mentions so Allah forgave him Al-Imam Ibn Hajar when he brought this Al-Bukhari brought this hadith the narration is sahih he mentioned a benefit I liked about this man who used to borrow used to lend money to the people he mentions that some of the narrations show that this man never did any other khair except this no other good he did it shows أنَّ الْيَسِيرَ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ small righteous deeds that you do إِذَا كَانَ خَالِصًا if you do it with sincerity you may be forgiven for a lot of wrongdoings that you've committed small good big intention a lot of your sins and your shortcomings might be forgiven for you a lot of you spend a lot of time in your cars when you're driving what do you really listen to when you're in your car what can you listen to when you're in your car how many beneficial things can you do in that car sit down do this for me go home buy a if you don't have it buy a stopwatch every time you come into your car press the stopwatch when you get out of the car stop the stopwatch note down how long you were in the car for that moment when the day finishes look how long you spent in the car you'll see that you spent in the car a lot are we all together brothers and you'll realize that if you just got a lecture and you designated a lecture for every time you go into the car you'd probably finish a series like that one year you'll see that you've achieved something we have this mindset which is that we have to have a lot of hours or nothing are you there brothers
if I don't have two hours free I don't have no time and that's a misunderstanding of what you're even if you have ten minutes somewhere that's something are you with me brothers you value those ten minutes you do something in it I just believe not knowing how to benefit from your time is what made us the way we are really and truly brothers and sisters your children really love what you love they look at you and they can tell when you love something and that energy that you come with when you're doing it because you love it when you love something you do it with passion and you do it with style because you love it that is going to go to the heart of your children and it's going to affect them so sometimes you see parents drive their children to the Qur'an class and they say go go memorize the Qur'an and you say to your child it's important that you memorize the Qur'an and it's important that you finish the Qur'an but if it's important why don't you do it you guys all know the famous story قصة الأعشاء الأعشاء was the great Arab poet and his statement was given great weight الأعشاء if he spoke his words would go around Mecca Arabs would read that line of poetry he was a poet from the great poets of the Arabs الأعشاء أعشاء at a very old age he decided to take Islam he said I can't live this life of Kufr and disbelief of Allah so he made his mind up he got out of his bed he got his riding beast ready he mounted on it and he made his way to Medina Quraysh heard of أعشاء heading towards Medina to take Islam and if he does the man has influence in Mecca so they grabbed him and they said to him الأعشاء we heard you're going to Mecca and Medina to meet Muhammad he said I am I want to take Islam they said have you not heard that Muhammad prevents Zina did you not know that he says you can't do Zina he does not let you do Zina أعشاء said I am an old man the desires and the shahwa of women is died out and I have no need for it they thought they said الأعشاء do you not know Muhammad prevents he prohibits alcohol the consumption of alcohol he said really they said yes he doesn't allow a person to drink alcohol so الأعشاء said okay that's the case he doesn't allow that that's something my nafs is inclined to I will go back to Mecca this year I will spend drinking alcohol until I am finished with alcohol this year and my desires goes I will make my way to Medina and I will testify that there is not worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is his slave and messenger and الأعشاء died that year never delay a good of today a good that you can achieve today never delay for tomorrow لعل غد يأتي because tomorrow can come وأنت فقيد and you are upset you are not alive Allah has taken you from this world جمال الدين القاسم the great scholar رحمه الله came by one day a group of people playing and he saw them and he said and he is a great imam his time is so tight he hasn't got any free time to do anything he is actually he is short on time he needs more time and so he saw a group of people that were playing and he looked at them and he said if only time was something that could be bought or sold I will buy time from these people and they don't understand what they have so I would say to them I will give you money for it and give me your time and sometimes people think lying is a necessity or I had to do it I had no other choice subhanallah I had to lie and so they lie because I didn't want to but what else could I have said there was a great sahabi his name was called Zir ibn Huraysh his name was what Zir ibn Huraysh they said Zir ibn Huraysh never lied he was never never caught lying it's a very hard hard characteristic sahab he never lied Zir ibn Huraysh the people wanted to test him they wanted to put him ok let's see if Zir will lie today Zir had two sons who rebelled against Hajjaj ibn Yusuf they rebelled against him his two sons one day visited Zir ibn Huraysh's house they came to him their father and Zir ibn Huraysh was not like that he was not he never rebelled against no leader because the sahabas never saw the permissibility of rebelling against a Muslim leader however tyrannical he is you're not allowed to rebel against him so Zir ibn Huraysh the people said ok today we're going to see if Zir ibn Huraysh is a truthful man today we're going to test him so they went to Hajjaj and they said Hajjaj the two sons of Zir ibn Huraysh are in Zir's house they're in his house bring Zir ibn Huraysh and ask him where his two sons are so they brought Zir ibn Huraysh to Hajjaj ibn Yusuf Hajjaj said Zir I have a question he said hey what's the question he said where do you know your two sons to be where are your two sons Zir said I just left them at home right now I don't know whilst I'm with you right now or I was coming to you if they left but I left them at home they were in my house Hajjaj ibn Yusuf looked at Zir ibn Huraysh and he said to him he said to him because of your truthfulness I will not touch your two sons and Hajjaj killed 120,000 people he killed Abdullah ibn Zubayr he hanged him in the Kaaba he never left no one what we take from this is sometimes you may think lying might solve a problem for you but you have to lie because of that lie that you lied and then another lie has to be backed up with it truthfulness may reach you will reach you into better places even if you think that situation is tight and hard a rich man saw a poor man eating bread he saw him eating food that wasn't expensive very cheap rich man who could buy who can weigh this poor man on a weighing scale however much weight he is he can give him of gold how rich he is he saw a poor man eating and he became jealous of this poor man because of the health Allah gave him subhanahu wa ta'ala that he is able to eat this food which due to his health he can't eat this rich man can never buy the health that this poor man has a rich man who envies and is jealous of a poor man and it's from the blessings of Allah that you don't yet understand that you have right now with you as an individual healthy Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave it to you a man his name was called Kiflu his name was called what? Kiflu he was from the people of Bani Israel he never had wara he never feared Allah ta'ala in sins every sin that came to his mind he will do it never cared a sin came to this man Kiflu he wouldn't hesitate he will throw himself into it and he will do it فأتته امرأة a woman came to him one day فأعطاها ستين دينارا he said to the woman here is sixty dinar let me commit haram with you فلما قعد منها مقعد الرجل when he sat in the position to fulfill the haram the woman started to cry and she started to shake tears came to her eyes and she watered and she cried heavily and then he said to her ما يبكيكي what is making you cry why are you crying like this have I coerced you in this action am I forcing you am I making you do it forcefully or are you doing it out of your will she said no it's not because you forced me but it's an action I've never done and this is something I've truly never committed it's a crime I've never done and what is making me do this is the money I need I only need the money that's all I'm doing it for فقر and poverty has made me reach this فقام and the man stood up and he left her and he walked away from her and then he said keep the money والله بي الله لا أعص الله بعدها I will never disobey Allah after this day onwards فمات من ليلته he died that same night فمات من ليلته he died that same night فأصبح مكتوبا on the front door of his house what was written on it was إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لِلْكِفْلِ Allah has forgiven كفل some people الحمد لله they came into Islam when they saw that the Muslims when they go to the call of nature and they do their call of nature how they clean themselves and how they purify themselves some people were like wow I remember a story it's something that happened to me in college I was studying business I was studying business in college and so they took us to the Coca-Cola that was situated in Edmonton that's a place in London north of London so what I did was we came and when we came to the Coca-Cola they were teaching us how Coca-Cola came about and the history of Coca-Cola and etc so what happened was I had to go to do my call of nature so I wanted to go to the toilet so when I went to the toilet the guy who was doing the presentation for us who was the branch manager had to go to the toilet as well we both had to go to the toilet we went into the toilet at the same time but two different toilets okay and then we both came out قَدَرُ اللَّهُمَا شَنْفَعَ at the same time I went and I washed my hands and soap and cleaned he just walked out we all together no no he was the head of the he was the head of the the department of cleanliness of Coca-Cola he overlooks if they are following that was his job it wasn't the branch manager the branch manager wasn't the one that was talking to us حجيب talking about cleanliness you haven't even washed your hands this كتاب المصاحف the first person who brought it out was an orientalist he read it and he manipulated the book altered it changed it used it in his own advantage and this shows us how important it is that we Muslims read and study and we go through our our knowledge and read it and if we sleep then others will benefit from it isn't it not sad that we're behind in the world and then even our deen others are coming into it don't you find that sad historically when you look at Islam the non-Muslims used to love to learn the Arabic language the non-Muslims used to like it times have changed the Muslims have forsaken the Arabic language and where have they run to the English language historically the glory was learning the Arabic language listen to this story أن يهودياً a Jewish man سأل أبا عثمان المازيني a Jewish man he came to أبا عثمان المازيني a Jewish man he came to this great scholar of the Arabic language what did he ask him he asked him أن يقرئه he said please read on me كتاب سيباوه can you read on me what the book of سيباوه ودفع إليه and he gave to him مئة دينار and he gave him how much hundred what you know what the دينار is brothers دينار is what دينار is gold brothers he gave him a hundred gold today that is thousands of thousands of dollars this is the true Islam right the honour of our Islam that a Jewish man would give money this much money to learn what what would he do to learn this language and what happened in عكسة الموازين the scale went upside down now we are paying that much money to learn what the English language there is a little رسالة I have at home there is a little رسالة it makes you really sad when you look at it the battle against the Arabic language how the west they pick funds money money money is spent just so the people don't learn the Arabic language and they learn what the western languages you see an Arab who can't even speak Arabic language that's what they want to see so they can put all their ideologies into you are you with me brothers because then you can watch their movies you can watch their news you can watch everything from them and that's it they can tell you what you want and you listen to them and you are ignorant about what your own book the most important book Allah SWT sent you don't even know it if you want to benefit from your time and you want to bring the best out of it you have to eliminate eliminate and get rid of gadgets that steal your time a lot of people and I say eliminate it if it's going to take away from your time eliminate it if you have the discipline to use your gadgets accordingly then inshallah use it in that which will benefit you in and don't waste your time if it's not going to help you these things brothers and sisters will work against you they will distract you and they will take away from anything we're going to say today are we all together one of the statements that my sheikh said and it sticks with me greatly is if these gadgets were of so much value Allah would have given it to the Prophet to aid him to spread Islam true Shafi'i when he was on his last moments of his life he gave the advice to him he called him Ismail he said come here and he said I want to tell you something my final words take this from me he said fear Allah and be conscious of him and place the akhirah in your heart place the akhirah deep into your heart place death right in front of your eyes and don't ever forget your position when you're standing in front of Allah and be a person who's scared of Allah and do the obligatory things Allah has obliged upon you be with the truth wherever the truth is don't belittle the blessings of Allah upon you even if you see the blessing to be something little don't belittle it and respond to that blessing with gratitude and he passed he died when he said that to him Hassan Al Basri used to say a lot youngsters youth upon you is the day of judgment and the hereafter try to attain it try to look for the hereafter we have seen a lot who tried to attain the hereafter but Allah gave them a good portion of this dunya with it but we have never seen we have never seen a person who ran after this dunya who ran after attaining this dunya but he reached the hereafter with the dunya that he was trying to attain this story is a man by the name of Mohamed Abdel Baqir Mohamed Abdel Baqir he travelled from his land to go and collect hadith so one day Mohamed Abdel Baqir he came to a city when he came to the city in which he wanted to take hadith from he came for a particular sheikh but then he found some pearls a mount of what there were rubles and pearls and gems that were in there so what he did is when he found it as soon as he got it somebody was outside saying to the people I lost my property and they were describing it and he said come he said describe it for me he described it what is in there the man said I promise whoever gives it to me that I will give them this amount he said I don't want your money are you listening brothers I don't want your money and he went he went for his journey for hadith so he took a he went to the sea to mount his the boat that he wanted to take to travel for hadith when he took his boat there was too much tide and the boat broke he held on to the a part of the boat and it brought him to the shore the rest of the people that were on the boat with him they died from it are you with me brothers this is his rehla he came to a land the people of the land they saw him lying down on the shore they saw him lying down on the on the shore so they took him they clothed him they gave him food and they asked him his story and he said my story is I was heading to that particular land to compile the hadith of the prophet of Allah and they said you are seeking knowledge he said yes they said they saw his notes they said you know how to write he said yeah they said can you teach our children how to read and write he said okay then they heard him read Quran they said Allahu Akbar you can read you know how to read lead us in the salah so he became the sheikh of the mamtika then they said to him listen he said now I have to leave as my journey was to go and seek knowledge of hadith I appreciate what you've done for me but I have to keep moving they said with one condition and that's what they used to do the people the righteous people this is what they used to do whenever a righteous person would come they would do they would make him marry so he'd come to that land again so what they did to him was they told him you have to marry and then you can go because they knew he was going to come back he said that's not my intention he said we're not going to let you go unless you get married he said okay they brought him a young girl the first night when the young girl entered onto him he saw on her neck something he looked at it he gazed and he woke up in the morning and the people of the city were knocking on his door he came and he said what is the problem they said the young girl complained about you what is the reason they said that all you did last night was look at her neck he said no he said I saw on her neck necklace and on the necklace was some pearls that I remember from somewhere I gathered these pearls for a man once upon a time who lost it and I saw on her neck the people of the city started screaming shouting he said what is the reason they said the young girl her father was the one who lost the necklace and he used to make dua that Allah marries his daughter off to the man who found the pearls for him I remember one day I was in a car with a group of brothers we were driving and the brother he skidded the car skid and it was about to go into another car okay brothers everybody in that car said something think here ponder I never said Subhanallah Allah Akbar I didn't say that I screamed I screamed that's all I did I screamed but other people they made some made foul language because that's what they do when they get angry or some say said something else I don't remember anyone saying dhikr or Allah Akbar why couldn't we say that because on a normal day we didn't teach our mouth to become consistent on this it really worried me that day because imagine we died imagine we hit that car all of us died my last meeting of Allah would be screaming somebody else foul language and the Prophet ﷺ said من كان آخر كلامه من الدنيا لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة so what we learn from this is to train yourself now before the calamity comes to you before the trouble hits you and the problem now connect yourself with Allah strong build a strong bond with Allah Azawajal I promise you when the problem happens you'll see yourself easily going through it today I want to speak about a day which has no night just a day no night every single one of us is going to see the day of judgment it's called day because there's no night for it it's a day that when you look at the Quran the way Allah spoke about it and the way Allah described it it's not easy Allah said in the Quran وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ what do you know about the day of judgment Allah repeated again ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ what do you really know about the day of judgment and then Allah in one sentence summarized the reality of the day of judgment يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ it's a day where no one can help anyone your money that you have today cannot help you the eloquency your ability to articulate things cannot help you that day your children can't help you your mother can't help you your parents, no one your lawyers they can't help you no one can وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ the affairs is in Allah's hands it's all dependent on how were you before you came to Allah how was your attitude were you working hard when you were in the dunya or were you not all dependent on that how have you pleased your Lord did you choose what Allah loves over what you love did you give preference to His commandments over your own wishes and wills brothers and sisters did you know that your rizq it's working towards you and it's coming to you as the Prophet ﷺ told us قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ and the Messenger said إِنَّ الرِّزْقَ لَيَطْلُبُ الْعَبْدَ the rizq looks for a person كَمَا يَطْلُبُهُ أَجَلُ the way that death is looking for you so if you are working and you're trying to make an income know that the effort that you're exerting in trying to get this rizq is not as great as the rizq itself trying to look for you and one of the greatest statements ibn al-Qayyim ﷺ said was إِنَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ provided for you in the womb of your mother without you exerting any effort you never worked for it in the womb of your mother الله عز و جل is providing for you and he's giving to you would he then forsake you when you come out and you're working for it don't consider your rizq something that's gonna delay it's gonna come your way وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُعَدُونَ your rizq is written for you the way that the day you're going to die it was written for you the same is that your rizq was written for you Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى He writes your rizq in another country in the morning you have breakfast in this country and in the evening you are in another country that's where your rizq was written for you everything that is written for you is going to come your way so perfect what you're looking for look for it in a halal way this rizq some of the salaf they said it's gonna come to you either in a halal or haram way you choose which way you're going to get it the prophet said to us أَيُّ لَحْمٍ نَبَتَ عَلَى حَرَامٍ any flesh that is nurtured upon haram فَالنَّارُ بِهِ أَوْلَى the hellfire has rights over that body the day of judgment the flesh that you're feeding with haram income, interest, money bank, this, me, this, take this don't you think that the hellfire will say okay, give me my rights and it will the day of judgment anyone today who studies عِلْمُ الْحَدِيث the science of hadith if they apply this in their day to day life no one would oppress anyone صحيح twitter and instagram somebody would spread an allegation on somebody صح فُلَنْ دِدْ دِسْ to me فُلَنْ سَدْ دِسْ somebody would just come and say something just a little tweet صح what do you say you retweet it some people they would spread it and they would say this happened happened who is the person who said it you don't know as much who it's unknown to you are you with me brothers where is the source of this information no one knows are you with me brothers وَلِدَ أَلِكَ this science if people applied it in their day to day lives many divorces would not have happened صح and marriages would have remained families, ties would not have cut this science was applied brothers who were once upon a time together and united they would not have become disunited all based on shai'at allegations and news that was spread right scholars what they did everything that was told to them who told you who did you take it from who did who to and they looked where the source was and when they realized the source was right then they based a ruling on it if it wasn't for the chain everybody's speech would be the same and that's true the one who's lying and the one who's telling the truth what makes them different the chain where they when we go and research we realize who's telling the truth or not but we have to verify many of the people they don't do that وَلِدَ أَلِكَ I don't know if you if it's like that back home in India like in my country where I'm from if the person is bright he's sent to academic sciences engineer medicine doctor if he fails in life become an imam صح is it like that وَلِدَ أَلِكَ the person who's the imam is a failed person in life he couldn't do anything so he said I might as well just memorize the Quran هكذا صح وَلِدَ أَلِكَ one time I was in a lecture of one of the mashayikh and one of the students said sheikh I find it hard to revise in the morning the sheikh said something I was shocked when he said he said seeking knowledge is not for you go for maths and science then when he finished I said sheikh why did you say that to him he said if we take people like him on board they're going to be given faster to the people we need people who are sharp because those are the type of people they used to be when it came to seeking Islamic knowledge that's what the prophet's life was like look at what he said to Abu Bilal when he ever found hardship or stress what would he say he would say يَا بِلَالَ أَرِحْنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ Bilal give us relaxation and comfort with the prayer do adab so we can pray we just think we say to ourselves oh I need to take this burden off myself subhanAllah صح because ibadah is not a love for us we don't love it we don't enjoy it and when a person enjoys something he just وَلِدَارِكَ the scholars they say if a person has high aspirations and he has love for something he's so passionate about it the scholars they used to say may Allah have mercy on his body because he's going to destroy his body when you love Allah تَبَارَكَ وَتَّعَالَى and it truly settles in your heart you're unstoppable and ibadah that's motivated and it results and it reverberates and it comes from and it springs from love there's no way of it stopping وَلِدَارِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّن مُّبَارَكَ as Ibn Abid Dunya he mentioned in his kitab حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ بِاللَّهِ to think good of Allah azwajal Ibn Abid Dunya mentioned a story عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّن مُّبَارَكَ he came to Sufyan and the Sufyan we're referring to here is سُفْيَانَ الْثَوْرِيُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّبَارَكَ came to Sufyan al-Thawri عَشِيَةِ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةِ on the day of Arafah and Sufyan al-Thawri وَهُوَ جَاثٍ عَلَى رُكُبَتِهِ he was on his knees and his hands were raised in the air وَعَيْنَاهُ and the eyes of Sufyan al-Thawri were watering and he was crying عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّبَارَكَ looked at him عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّبَارَكَ cried as well seeing Sufyan al-Thawri cried and then عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُّبَارَكَ said to him to Sufyan al-Thawri مَا شَأْنُكَ what is the reality here what is happening here what is the situation what is it that's making you cry Sufyan al-Thawri he said مَنْ أَسْوَأُ who is more worse أَهْلُ هَذَا الْجَمْعِ حَالَ who is the worst person in this place I mean the worst person in this gathering here right now in Arafah he is referring to they are in Arafah all of them the worst person in this place in Arafah is the one who thinks الَّذِي يَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ the one who thinks Allah will not forgive him today you are a component of three things you have a body you have a mind and you have a soul are you with me brothers a lot of people when they just think about their jobs and the money that they need to make they are only worrying about their body هَذَهُ really the money that you are making what do you want to do just want to be big, strong food that's what it does for you right break down the reason why you work why do you work for you want to provide you want to eat that's it صح صح but the only thing that you focused on is the body what about the mind and the soul so the sahabas realized that it is vital for you to take care of your body to eat, to make money for your family and for yourself but they also realized that the revelation is the only thing that can nurture the mind and the soul I'll tell you a story there was a young boy his teacher he said to his teacher teacher I want to come to the masjid a young boy he said sheikh I want to come to the masjid and I want to be at the front row and I want to make it for the first row in the salah and the sheikh said to him you have to come early so the young boy at night he told his mother wake me early up before the salah so his mother woke him up early he woke up early he left the house without his mother's knowledge he went to the masjid and he found that the door of the masjid was locked being a young kid he was able to go through a small hole that he saw from within the masjid and when he went in he fell inside the masjid and there was a sharp object facing upwards and he went into his leg and he bled and then he sat at the front row bleeding and so the sheikh came into the masjid saw the young boy but the young boy did not say anything he prayed the salah and when he prayed the salah the sheikh turned around and there was a puddle of blood and so he said to him what happened to you? and he said sheikh this is the story I tried to come to the masjid I wanted to make it for the front row and the sheikh said to him my son write down what I am going to say to you he said لَا تَحْسَبَ أَنَّ الْمَجْدَ تَمْرًا أَنْتَ آكِلُهُ لَن تَبْلُغَ الْمَجْدَ حَتَّى تَلْعَقَ الصَّلَاةِ in summary what he said to him his young boy he said you wanted to earn a goal you wanted to achieve something you wanted to pray at the front row and it wasn't something easy it had a cost and a price to it don't ever think to yourself oh my son he said لَا تَحْسَبَ أَنَّ الْمَجْدَ تَمْرًا أَنْتَ آكِلُهُ don't ever think to yourself that honor and status and a position is like a fruit that you take from a tree like this no you have to go and sacrifice time and effort لَا تَبْلُغَ الْمَجْدَ حَتَّى تَلْعَقَ الصَّلَاةِ you're never going to gain what you're looking for unless you exert a lot of hard work and you show patience he said another very powerful statement he said إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ if you want to know مَا عِنْدَكَ وَعِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِمْحَبَّةِ لَا if you want to know you and others if Allah loves you he said فَانْظُرْ مِحَبَّةَ الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ قَلْبِكِ look at the love of the Qur'an in your heart if you want to know somebody might come to you and say how do I know Allah loves me will say how much do you love his word the mentioning of Allah is it high to you yeah brothers is the mentioning of Allah his Qur'an his words they mean a lot to you then the mentioning of your name to Allah it means a lot to him سبحانه وتعالى that's what he says we all together brothers it is not then right that you say as a person I love the Qur'an and you don't even try to memorize anything from it the love cannot just be a mere statement it can't be the love has to manifest on your limbs it has to then become actions it has to be a movement forward it has to be something you try to come with and I've seen brothers Wallahi when these kind of quotes they came across Wallahi they took it serious and they made the Qur'an their closest friend the Salaf they used to say dwelling over the past is trying to bring the dead out of their graves dwelling over the past thinking too much over the past is اخراج الموت من قبورهم is trying to bring the wolves who are dead out of their graves and you're going against the Sunanullah Al-Qawniyah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is universal science everything goes forward nothing goes backwards and you are the only one that's going backwards by thinking of what already happened so don't busy yourself with that busy yourself with what's in front of you and that which will benefit you Ibrahim Ibn Adham he said he said a very powerful statement I love this statement he said طيب طيب perfect مطعمك perfect your income and your earning وما عليك بعد ذلك ألا تصوم النهار ولا تقوم الليل and after that your قيام الليل and your fasting leave it to Allah Allah will make it all happen for you my beloved brothers and sisters we have all claimed we're Muslims we said we are Mu'mins didn't we say that? that has to be tested أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتَرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ did you really think that you can just say I'm a believer and you're not going to be tested no that statement you said I am a believer needs to be put to the test let's see if it's true ولذلك some of the Salaf whenever they would go through a period of time where they're not tested they used to look at the sky what did they do? they will look at the sky and they will be scared scared of what? because they were scared that Allah is giving them all the good now and the punishment awaits them the day of judgment سُجِنَ أَحْمَدُ ابْنَ حَمْبَلِ Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal was in prison وَجُلِدَ he was whipped but that whipping went towards something what did he go towards? فَصَارَ إِمَامُ أَهْلِ السُّنَّةِ he became the Imam of Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'ah وَوُضِعَ السَّرَخْسِ the great Malik Iskola Hanif Iskola he was placed in a well he was in prison inside a big well and all he had with him was pens and papers what did he do? فَأَخْرَجَ عِشْرِينَ مُجَلَّدًا he brought out 20 volumes in fiqh Ibn Athir was also housed in prison فَصَنَّفَ he authored two great books جامع الأصول and الكتاب النهاية في غريب الحديث Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah was in prison and he finished the Qur'an 83 times and he died on the statement of Allah إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ فِي مَقْعَدٍ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ Ibn al-Jawzi was kicked out of Baghdad his own hometown and he came back and he studied and he memorized the 10 qiraat of the Qur'an every calamity that comes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala always brings a good out of it you might not see it today nor tomorrow nor the day after but it might be one day come have good faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the way that the body becomes dehydrated if you don't drink a lot of water the soul becomes dehydrated if it doesn't get the amount of dhikr that it needs are you with me brothers? that's why you find a person who's fit who's got six packs everywhere even on his ears he's got six packs everywhere yeah he does itikaf in the gym he wants to commit what? he wants to commit suicide he's rich he's got everything why do you wanna? because the soul has become dehydrated he doesn't wanna live anymore he's depressed, anxiety the reason is because أَلَمْ يَأْنِي مِنْ لَذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُ كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنُّ فَاسِقُونَ he distanced himself from the remembrance of Allah the Qur'an and the heart needs the Qur'an it needs it, it craves for it are you there brothers? it craves you see a person coming to Islam and he's just crying as soon as he comes into Islam when he says the shahada what are you crying for? صح؟ the person hears the Qur'an and he just can't the serenity, the beauty of the Qur'an you start crying, you feel it, why? it's because the soul Ata ibn Abi Rabah he said مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ I never spoke I never uttered something unless I asked myself 70 times is this for me or against me? because he said angels are writing what I say so I asked myself 70 times is this for me or against me? no how is it for me? unless I knew it was for me I wouldn't say it are you with me brothers? so when you read these people's lives like that and how they were then you realize this is what you want to be يا إخوة don't put your guards down Ahmad ibn Hanbal on his last moments before he died his son was next to his father Abdullah he saw his father and he heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say بعدوا بعدوا what did that mean? yet not yet not yet so he said to his father after dad I heard you say this word what did you mean? he said Shaytan came to me and he said to me Shaytan came to Ahmad ibn Hanbal and he said to me Ahmad you've escaped from me I couldn't catch you and Ahmad said no you still haven't Ahmad I still haven't sorry as long as I'm alive you can still catch me this Dunya brothers the way we've perceived it and the way we see it today is مخالف للواقع it's opposite to the reality why? because Allah who created this world who owns this world said لو كانت الدنيا تعدل عند الله جناح بعوضة مَا سَقَى مِنْهَا كَافِرٌ شُرْبَةَ مَا this Dunya does not equal to the wing of it doesn't equal to Allah and does not equate to in the eyes of Allah a wing of mosquito doesn't not even a wing of mosquito if today Apple came out and they said the company Apple and they said all the iPhones that we've produced they're rubbish they're fault in there would the people debate with Apple? or would they say these are the manufacturers they're the ones who made it صح Allah created this world and He's telling you it's nothing and the evidence to show you that this Dunya is nothing is the fact that Allah gave it to the non-Muslims and the Muslims same everyone has it no problem ولذلك if Allah gives you this Dunya it has no evidence it's not an indication Allah loves you just because you have money it doesn't mean Allah loves you and just because Allah took the Dunya away from you it doesn't mean He hates you لكن if He doesn't give you the day of judgment جنة He does not love you and one of the greatest things يا إخوة that allows a person to be aesthetic and not see no importance for this Dunya is to actually digest this particular point which is to know that what you have today not necessarily you might not have it tomorrow if you're a leader how many leaders have we seen? who are leaders? they were the leaders and they were what? they were killed the way they were killed they were one time drinking gold cups and now what? they were dragged on the ground صحيح we saw that, right? that's the Dunya that's its حقيقة that's its reality so don't give no importance is it fair that Allah's religion is little in your eyes and the Dunya is a lot? is it fair that you know how to make money but you do not know how to increase your righteous deeds? is it fair that you decorate this Dunya the house that you're living in and you decorate it with beautiful things but your grave that you're going to go into you haven't decorated it with righteous deeds is that fair? is it fair that you haven't thought about the day that you meet Allah عز و جل and you come in front of Him the two things that would have helped you beneficial knowledge and righteous actions those are the two you haven't increased in it Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said a statement that I came across one of the scholars when you come into his house it used to be written on the door of his house which is what? نفسك أما نفسك you can say it both ways إِن لَمْ تَشْغَلْهَا بِالطَّاعَةِ شَغَلَتْكَ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ if you don't busy your time in obedience of Allah it will busy you in the disobedience of Allah عز و جل and I know many of us can agree to this that when you don't busy you don't have a schedule and you don't have a timetable and you don't have a routine to follow if you give yourself that free time this نفس is very evil وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَتُ بِالسُّوءِ this نفس is gonna call you to evil don't say okay I did this thing can I do another one? what about this one? don't worry just let's have a one hour fun I wanna play with this game or I wanna do this and tomorrow you see yourself 10 hours you're sitting down everyday wasting your time it started from what? one hour the نفس will go on you have to grab yourself you have to grab this نفس and restrain it or it will go out of place this religion does not look at your background and where you're from it doesn't care you can be from whatever land you like what honors you is not your background or your lineage or your people that doesn't honor you Mecca was once upon a time a place where the companions were told to migrate from land does not honor you and it was a land they were commanded to come back to again so your land, your country doesn't honor you unless you become something for this deen your life what did you do with it? how did you spend your life? Allah says in the Quran أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَنْ تَذَكَرُ وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ Allah said have we not given you a good portion of life to live have we not given you a life to live وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ and the warner came to you Abdullah ibn Abbas he said وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ means we placed a white hair inside your beard to remind you you're coming close to us and if you look at Allah Azawajal the way he created the creation he made everybody different subhanAllah people just love different things I was this book right now that I'm reading from there's a man who made the cover for the book and that's his passion he loved that and he learned he went forward in the تَجْلِيدُ الْكُتْبُ and his company there's a history behind it those of you who are scholars these Arabic books they're the تَجْلِيدُ okay this book it's yellow pages they call it أوراق طبّي medical papers it's good for your eyes in case you read it on the sun there's a company that does that they enjoy that that's their job they enjoy that the sheikh who wrote the book he enjoys the knowledge but if all of them like doing the cover who's gonna write the book you see my point everyone plays a role in this religion صَلَحَةً هَدَاهُ everyone plays a role but you need to find your place where you find you enjoy you find relevance in it's very important الله سبحانه وتعالى my beloved brothers and sisters commanded us to be steadfast and he told us to come with استقامة Allah said in the Quran إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ those who said Allah is my lord ثُمَّ استَقَامُوا and then they became steadfast تَتْنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ the angels will come down on them أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا sometimes you ask yourself can you tell these topics to the people a person who is steadfast himself can say to other people be steadfast I am not steadfast how can I say it to you guys I swear brothers the topic itself requires somebody who possesses this personality so I will conclude that Inshallah Ta'ala anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaitan and Allah and his messenger are free from it سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَمْدِكَ شَدُوا لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ استَغْفِرُكُمْ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
I want to share something with you I was thinking about it contemplating shall I share shall I not share I think I will share it with you guys because a lot of you guys kept coming everyday I had a dream the other day after looking at the hadiths and preparing it that night I slept whilst on my sofa whilst reading I slept on the side and it was a long sleep normally I end up getting up quicker than others other times but I slept and in my dream what I saw was me telling my children to get ready I was telling them get up prepare yourselves we're going, we're going and so my children said dad where are we going I said we're going to meet the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم get up, everybody prepare yourself and my children got ready my son, my daughters, all of us and we came out it was like it was what I can describe it to be it was like it was Eid everyone's coming out of their house when I came out everyone else was coming out of their houses we all go into a place an open place so we walked for a while until we came to an open place like a park an open land but it wasn't grass it was sand everyone is there as we walked, we walked, we walked there's a line for every party there's one line on this side which is on the right and a line on the other side the people on the left side are going faster than the ones on the right so before we came into the park or the land there was a security told us you go you're not allowed to come into this place and another group of people they were told to come in so I came, I said السلام عليكم and I was told to come in and all my children, they came in with me so we went in a lot of people were like why can't we come in? I didn't hear what was said to them but we went into the open land we walked and as we were walking we're on the right side I have my children right around me and I see an old man not very old but senior in age but not old in the sense he can't walk or anything but he has a walking stick and there's another man holding him from the arm like this and I asked someone I said who's that? because they just looked unique from everybody else and I was told the one who has the walking stick is Jabir ibn Abdillahi and we all know Jabir became blind in his old age and I said okay who's the one holding him his hand? so he's holding him by the hand and he has a pen and a little notebook on his hand and he's asking a question and so they're talking talking I can see they're mumbling something but when they come by me the question that I hear that they say to each other is or the question he says to Jabir this man says to Jabir is who were the people who narrated hadiths from you? but remember they're on the fast track we're on this line we're moving slow they're just going out fast before us so I asked who's the other man asking the question? I was told it's Sheikh al-Albani rahimahullah in my head I'm saying to myself I know why he's asking that question because there's a discussion in ilmul hadith whether Abu Zubayr al-Makki or Abu Zubayr heard from Jabir if he narrated from Jabir if he's from the students who heard from Jabir there's that discussion going on in the science of hadith so he calls him whenever he gives the answer he writes something down and they grabs him from the arm and they keep moving and so at that moment I was thinking subhanallah he still wants to know hadith he still wants to know the rulings of the science of hadith and they walk until they get to the front row before everybody else and the messenger standing there the messenger didn't stand for anyone else no one was privileged for the Prophet to stand for them everybody else the Prophet they were kissing his head and they were shaking his hand and they would go pay attention here the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam when Jabir and al-Bani came he stood up and then the messenger grabbed al-Bani on the left side of his hand and the right hand side he grabbed Jabir and he brought them close to each other and in the middle of their heads in the middle the messenger whispered something and he looked at both of them and they smiled and the Prophet smiled and then both of them went towards where the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam is facing in front of him there's a lot of people sitting there a lot of people so we get to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam I shake his hand I kiss him I say Ya Rasulullah Abdur Rahman these are my children and the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam greets and then I go I don't go the direction of Jabir and al-Bani I get told listen go to the back so the people were divided into two a group that were told to go and they were going to the place where the messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam is they can see the Prophet they can vision him he's in front of them and another group of people were put behind and so the ones who were going behind there was security telling them go this way go this way and the ones that were going right in front of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam they were told to go so I asked why can't I sit there I want to see the Prophet why do I want to go behind the Prophet's back and the thing that was said to me is what did you do for the Prophet's religion what have you how have you served the Deen of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam these people that you see are the great scholars of Hadith al-Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj and al-Imam Abu Dawood and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ishaq these are the people there and Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman the people who gave their life their everything to this religion that they work hard on it and you mashallah a good Muslim at least you got to see the Prophet go behind now and so my son when we went into the behind the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and we sat down my son said dad I want to go and see the Prophet I want to I want to vision him I want to see why can't we go why can't we go where everyone else went and I said to him dad it's based on actions today it's not about anything else we didn't get it but he said dad you used to teach a lot you used to do this why and I said I never served the religion like Sheikh al-Baniyan al-Imam al-Bukhari no way that's really what I can remember I don't remember the rest vividly the point I want to take from this story wallahi is we have to take a role in this deed wallahi we have to have to serve this deed give our lives to it if we want to be with the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam we have to be people who lived by his life served his religion work hard every day of our life to just teach and educate and learn and study and really these people that's what they did that's why they were honored and they were as this poet said the people of Hadith are the Prophet's people they're his companions even if they didn't accompany him in this world they accompanied him by reading his Hadiths reading his narrations this is where they accompanied him I really that dream really affected me I thought about it a lot and a lot and a lot and I said subhanallah we can really we haven't really done anything for this religion haven't these Ahadith have to study deeply have to learn them properly that's why the Messenger said I left two things for you the Qur'an and the Sunnah hold on to them stick to them and if you hold on to them لَن تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِي you will never be misguided after me the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam oh Allah make us those who hold on to hold on to the Qur'an and the Sunnah with a mole to it we never let go of it
