[20:48]like to welcome you all back to our nightly Ramadan program uh

[20:51]before we get started I just have a few quick announcements uh

[20:55]first we would like to thank all the sponsors who sponsored tonight's

[21:01]nightly program um theid family zun um and then uh somebody who

[21:07]sponsored on all the Believers and the Muslim so if I could

[21:11]just get everybody to recite on behalf of all the if anybody

[21:26]would like to sponsor any of the upcoming night please see brother

[21:30]Hassan or any of the other board members to get that taken

[21:33]care of um and one more thing before I call up say

[21:37]uh alhamdulillah we have a sister that would like to convert tonight

[21:43]she wants to take her shahada so say Salah if you could

[21:44]please come up to the podium and we can have the sister

[21:50]join us as well after our loud Muhammad Muhammad sister please join

[21:59]us you're all well today we have good news and alhamdulillah sister

[22:13]Gabriela santian right okay good um sister Gabriella will would like to

[22:19]join the religion of Islam and I spoke with her this is

[22:25]after over two years of research alhamdulillah right over two years of

[22:31]research and searching and do uh learning about the religion of Islam

[22:37]alhamdulillah today she is deciding on making that decision in her life

[22:41]and I asked her what made you what made you make the

[22:46]decision today she gave an answer which I find a lot of

[22:49]people um they struggle with this sometimes and that is she said

[22:54]I was worried that I'm going to have to be perfect after

[22:56]I joined the religion of Islam and I told her none of

[23:01]us are perfect we all we all are on that Journey towards

[23:05]Allah subhah wa ta'ala and everyone can be on their own pace

[23:10]in this journey Allah subhana wa ta'ala is welcoming Allah is loving

[23:14]Allah is compassionate and everyone could be on their own pace in

[23:19]that journey and if anyone thinks that if they are going to

[23:22]if they want to make that decision to become more religious or

[23:26]to embrace the religion of Islam then they have to become perfect

[23:30]from day one and that's the wrong mentality if we have that

[23:33]thinking then no one's going to join and this is why the

[23:38]holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when people would join the religion of

[23:42]Islam he would allow them to come at their own pace and

[23:47]Islam this is how it came down it came down with slowly

[23:51]evolving and becoming um to what it is today so sister Gabriel

[23:55]would you like to say something first or do you want to

[23:59]say the Shah and then okay so come closer please so we're

[24:04]going to say the shahada we're going to say it in Arabic

[24:24]than Allah and I testify and I testify that Prophet Muhammad Prophet

[24:29]Muhammad is his final messenger is his final messenger and I testify

[24:34]and I testify that IM Ali that IM Ali is the successor

[25:44]like to say something okay that's fine welcome welcome sister may Allah

[25:54]bless you now we will begin the lecture inshallah there was a

[26:16]there was a gift a package that we had um I I

[26:22]forgot about that sorry brother Ali please hand her the gift alhamdulillah

[26:57]muhamad [Music] respected brothers and sisters Muhammad Muhammad one of the realities

[27:33]of this life that we are living is death it is a

[27:42]reality that will happen to all of us every single one of

[27:47]us just as everyone has a birth date every person will also

[27:51]have a date of departure from this life and our life is

[28:02]defined by the days that we live on this Earth this is

[28:05]why he says verily you are a number of days just as

[28:14]a book a story is a number of chapters a number of

[28:19]pages in the book our life is also a number of days

[28:26]just as a book has Pages ours has days and hours and

[28:29]and the moment we leave this life we disconnect from everything in

[28:35]this life we disconnect from our wealth we disconnect from our children

[28:44]and our family but then there's one thing that remains with every

[28:47]person and that is the deeds in fact when a person dies

[28:55]and leaves its life the moment the person dies they are totally

[28:59]disconnected from their wealth even if this person was a multi-millionaire was

[29:02]a billionaire the moment they die they they have nothing all of

[29:07]that has transitioned and it has moved on to someone else as

[29:12]for the other thing that follows a person is your children and

[29:15]your family and this is aith from he says when a person

[29:20]three things they have you have your wealth and you have your

[29:26]family the family they follow to the Grave after the grave they're

[29:29]not going to go any further but there is one thing that

[29:32]remains with an individual and will go into the grave with that

[29:37]person and that is the Deeds you have Deeds they will go

[29:44]into the grave and these deeds will furnish the grave for a

[29:48]person according to a Hadith the grave becomes furnished by the Deeds

[29:52]that you place in that grave some people under date of burial

[29:58]they will realize that they have a lot of Deeds that have

[30:02]decorated their grave for them just like you want to move into

[30:04]a house don't you have to furnish the house first and other

[30:09]people they will see that they have not done enough and this

[30:13]is why Imam he talks he sheds light on this he says

[30:28][Music] he says and how can someone be in a worse state

[30:42]is if someone has moved to a grave that is not furnished

[30:48]that is not ready for me why because my actions were not

[30:51]enough because I did not prepare I did not plan for that

[30:56]life and the reality my dear brothers and sisters is that the

[31:03]majority of the people they leave this duny with unfinished business we

[31:09]leave with still there's some things some obligations that need to be

[31:18]done either either obligations towards people maybe for example I borrowed money

[31:23]from someone maybe I hurt someone maybe I insulted someone and I

[31:27]did not apologize to this person I did not matter when a

[32:29]person's going to die writing a will does not mean that I'm

[32:31]going to die soon writing a will just means that I'm ready

[32:37]for that day when it comes and Allah subhanahu wa tala says

[32:40]in the Quran Allah subhah wa ta'ala has made it incumbent now

[33:01]of course whenever we see for example Allah talks in about the

[33:07]month of Ramadan but here every time when it says it would

[33:15]mean that it's except in this case the scholars they say writing

[33:18]a will is not obligatory it means it's not Haram if someone

[33:21]does not however it is extremely recommended and how do we know

[33:29]that because at the end of the verse Allah says meaning this

[33:35]is an obligation if you're a if you're a God conscious person

[33:39]it doesn't say it's something that is upon all of the Muslims

[33:42]if you want to do it you can if you don't you

[33:47]don't have to however it is highly highly recommended he says in

[33:54]aith meaning every Muslim should have a will write something in in

[34:05]in this that they leave behind in another says the meaning the

[34:14]one who does not have is the one who does not have

[34:19]a was meaning the one who leaves without leaving behind a will

[34:24]without leaving behind some sort of document or some sort of message

[34:29]that other will listen to after this person leaves and the was

[34:35]it is a logical thing to do right now imagine you have

[34:41]a business imagine you have a corporation a company whatever it is

[34:46]does it make sense to just leave to just leave everything and

[34:50]go of course not you have to make sure that you have

[34:55]placed someone behind you you have to make sure that things are

[35:00]running smooth when you leave and this is this is uh writing

[35:04]the will this is something that is logically it makes sense to

[35:10]do now how does a person write the will the will it

[35:14]could be either an oral dictation meaning I find someone and I

[35:18]tell this person you are the was meaning I am I talking

[35:22]to you you are the one who's responsible for carrying out my

[35:25]Affairs and you tell this person and you have witnesses around you

[35:30]then this is enough this could be done when someone is on

[35:33]their deathbed or in their life you find someone you tell this

[35:38]person if I die I want you to take care of this

[35:39]this this and have other people be Witnesses have other people testify

[35:46]this is all it takes for a it's not a doesn't have

[35:47]to be something um very formal it could just be you're sitting

[35:53]in a group with friends and you say to someone when I

[35:55]die I want to be buried here I want this to happen

[35:58]I want this to happen and this is a way of uh

[36:03]giving a was and another better way is where you bring lawyers

[36:07]and you actually document it and it's documented and it's written down

[36:12]and this is something that we recommend for everyone especially Living in

[36:15]America when a lot of people when they pass away the government

[36:20]will come and seize and take a lot of your property or

[36:22]your assets if you have not put it in a trust so

[36:26]it's very wise to get a lawyer and write down everything that

[36:34]you want now what is in an Islamic will what should a

[36:38]person put in the Islamic will that is written there's a question

[36:41]a lot of people are like I don't even know what to

[36:44]write what am I going to say in this will the first

[36:48]is the will is a declaration of your beliefs right now if

[36:52]you go and you look at a a generic copy of the

[36:55]will you could find it on the websites of the and you

[36:59]know even the the imams of the they teach you how to

[37:03]do the will a generic copy of a will it begins by

[37:05]stating your beliefs which who do you believe in you say I

[37:10]believe in God I believe in the prophet I believe in the

[37:13]Quran I believe in the day of judgment this is a testament

[37:18]of faith and this is this is something that should always be

[37:20]done right now we had the sister she conducted her shahada this

[37:25]is something that we do every day every day in our prayer

[37:28]we say the sh every day we say every day reaffirm your

[37:36]belief and your values and what you believe in and this is

[37:39]something very important and there's a Dua that is recited for someone

[37:43]that is passing away in their last moments or hours that is

[37:49]also a Dua that basically goes over the beliefs helps the person

[37:53]that's passing away know and acknowledge their values and their beliefs and

[37:58]this is something very important Allah says that ibraim and Y on

[38:04]their deathbed prophet ibraim and Y when they were dying they gathered

[38:08]their children Allah says IIM he did this and what did they

[38:22]say on their deathbed these are prophets of Allah they gathered their

[38:29]children and they say you have been chosen to have this message

[38:32]so don't die except you are Muslim what does Muslim mean Muslim

[38:36]means that you have submitted to Allah subhah wa tala and then

[38:41]Allah says Were You There When Jacob at the time of death

[38:49]what did he say [Music] he asked his son Jacob he asked

[39:08]his sons who do you worship after me they say we worship

[39:10]your lord and the Lord of ibraim and is and is and

[39:15]we are mu meaning we are monotheists and this my dear brothers

[39:20]and sisters is the greatest Legacy a person could leave behind better

[39:25]than leaving behind to your children wealth and leaving behind the houses

[39:29]and the cars and the money leave behind the good leave behind

[39:36]the religion of Islam leave behind the values to your children and

[39:40]to your family and this is the greatest wealth that a person

[39:45]could have in a Hadith in a Hadith from he says the

[39:50]best the best um inheritance the best Earth that a person could

[39:54]leave to his children and his family is adab as good manners

[40:00]is uh having a healthy relationship with Allah subhana T this is

[40:05]the greatest Legacy that a person could have so you write that

[40:10]in your will in your will state your beliefs and order do

[40:13]order your family and your children to continue with that belief so

[40:17]this is one second you write in your will anything that you

[40:24]owe to other people so for example I borrowed money from someone

[40:28]and no one knows about it I borrowed money for a business

[40:33]to get a business started I have to write this down if

[40:37]I have not paid that person back I need to write it

[40:41]down because if I die and this person their ha their right

[40:45]is not given back to them then I will be suffering I

[40:49]will be suffering because I will have stolen money from a person

[40:53]and this is why it's very important if we have taken anything

[40:55]from anyone if we have hurt anyone a lot of times probably

[41:01]people forget what they have borrowed for example a husband when he

[41:06]marries the wife what does he have to give her the Mah

[41:10]often times people they assume that the Mahar needs to be given

[41:13]in case there's a divorce this is wrong the Mah has to

[41:18]be given regardless the Mahar has to be given at the time

[41:21]of the at the time of the when when that was done

[41:25]people they assume that oh I need to give this now if

[41:28]the wife wants to say I don't need it she wants to

[41:30]give up on it that's that's up to her but it's it's

[41:33]a d it's a loan basically you have borrowed this you need

[41:37]to give it back and when a person dies before they come

[41:41]and they divide the money to give the inheritance the first thing

[41:45]that they do is they come and they see where's the money

[41:47]that this person borrowed where are the loans that this person had

[41:52]maybe I borrowed from this person I borrowed from that person Allah

[41:56]says meaning before you come and divide the money the assets based

[42:07]on the inheritance you have to come and see what this person

[42:10]has maybe this person says I want a portion of my money

[42:15]to go here a portion to go there or D or I

[42:16]borrowed money from someone before you come and divide it you have

[42:22]to give the money that was borrowed and this is very important

[42:25]sometimes Maybe I have hurt someone in this life maybe I hit

[42:32]someone you know in Islam we have Dia the laws of Dia

[42:37]what's the laws of Dia if you hit someone and this person

[42:40]their hand becomes red or it becomes blue or this person is

[42:44]bruised you owe that person money that's Islam that's that's equality in

[42:49]Islam now of course if the person comes and says no I

[42:53]don't want that's fine but if you bruise that person now how

[42:56]many people have you guys bruised so far for if you bruise

[42:59]someone then you need to come and give this person unless they

[43:05]come and they say I don't want and there's a Scholars you

[43:08]know it's written and the this from the imams if it became

[43:11]red you need to give this much if it became blue you

[43:13]need to give this much if it became black you need to

[43:17]give this much so this is also money that I have borrowed

[43:19]basically I don't I need to give it back and I'll mention

[43:26]this Hadith I've mentioned it before says he asked the Muslims who

[43:31]is the MU who is the bankrupt person on the day of

[43:32]judgment they tell him I don't know bankrupt is someone who doesn't

[43:38]have money or doesn't have belongings he tells them the bankrupt person

[43:42]on the day of judgment they will come on the day of

[43:48]judgment they have all their prayers they have all of their fasting

[43:53]all of their zakat but he will come he has cursed at

[44:07]this person he stole from this person he hit this person he

[44:10]slandered this person and on the day of judgment this guy came

[44:17]he prayed he fasted he did everything but he hurt people so

[44:21]the day of judgment is a day of Justice Allah is going

[44:24]to say okay to be fair now give this person some reward

[44:29]so they take from the reward of his prayer they take the

[44:31]reward of his Hajj they take the reward of his zakat until

[44:36]this person has oppressed so many people he runs out of reward

[44:39]there's no more Good Deeds so what do they do they say

[44:43]okay now take the bad Deeds from these people take the bad

[44:45]Deeds this person will see that they are bankrupt on the day

[44:50]of judgment they have nothing they thought they did good but they

[44:52]only looked at religion from one dimension they only thought that religion

[44:56]is praying and fasting and worship and that's all that religion is

[44:59]for them they forgot that religion is all about dealing with people

[45:06]religion is all about kindness and compassion and Justice and Equity with

[45:10]other people they forgot that and this is a lot of a

[45:12]lot of people who think they're religious they forget this dimension of

[45:15]religion and this is a very important dimension of religion so you

[45:21]write in your what you have done what needs to be given

[45:23]to other people we said the first thing you write your your

[45:29]beliefs the belief in the prophet the belief in the imams and

[45:31]then you write what needs to be given back to other people

[45:37]what you owe other people third you write what you owe God

[45:41]are there things that we owe God yes some of us we

[45:46]have Salah some of us we have some of us we have

[45:48]Hajj some of us we have fasting days that we have not

[45:53]done if for example the month of Ramadan came and I broke

[45:57]my fast whether it was on purpose or intentional I have to

[46:03]make it up this is something that is important you know the

[46:08]sisters when they're on their uh monthly cycle they do not fast

[46:11]however they have to make it up after the month of Ramadan

[46:15]it needs to be made up Salah there's no excuse to miss

[46:18]prayer but some people they have days and weeks and years of

[46:24]Mis prayer that all needs to be written down in your was

[46:26]now needs to be written down now of course someone might come

[46:31]and say it's you know how is that that you come and

[46:37]if I haven't prayed and I write it down and someone else

[46:41]comes and prays and this is enough for me no this is

[46:45]talking about those people who for example maybe at one point in

[46:49]their life they weren't praying they weren't fasting but then they did

[46:52]Toba then they returned back to Allah and they're trying to make

[46:57]it up but then the AEL came the time of death came

[46:59]at least it's written down at least it's written down that let

[47:04]someone come and make up these prayers let someone come and make

[47:08]up these obligations of course the not all Muslims agree and accept

[47:12]that someone could do your Salah or your s or your for

[47:18]you they only accept Haj someone's allowed to do n but in

[47:21]the school of the it is allowed but this is not something

[47:27]to be fooling God you know one time I heard someone I

[47:29]don't know if this person was joking or or uh serious he

[47:33]said yeah I'm not going to pray but I'm going to for

[47:34]example WR it in my that someone's going to pray on my

[47:38]behalf Allah says in the Quran we can't fool God this is

[47:51]talking about those who had pure intentions and they're trying but then

[47:55]the time of death came and and they weren't able to make

[47:59]it all up but at least write down even if you've missed

[48:03]one day of fasting write that down say this day I didn't

[48:05]make it up write it on your phone write it in a

[48:09]note write it wherever so that people know if you have missed

[48:15]prayers write that down if you have missed write that down because

[48:19]this is all an obligation that needs to be done so this

[48:22]is the third and then another thing that you write down in

[48:28]the will is how you want your assets to be distributed and

[48:31]this is probably one of the most important parts and reasons for

[48:37]a will because we all we come to this life and we

[48:40]come empty-handed when a person is born they're born naked they have

[48:43]nothing and the day we die how do we die also empty-handed

[48:50]we don't take anything with us you don't take the U-Haul I

[48:55]heard you know you don't take the U-Haul to the cemetery that's

[48:58]that's it it's gone and we leave empty in between we collect

[49:06]a few money houses cars and then we start looking down at

[49:09]people thinking that we own something we don't own anything Allah says

[49:13]in the [Music] Quran you will come to us you will come

[49:26]one by one the same way we created you one by one

[49:30]and you will leave everything we gave you to borrow in this

[49:35]life everything that I have I'm really borrowing the house that I'm

[49:39]in someone else was living on that land and someone else is

[49:42]going to be living on that land the things that I own

[49:46]as soon as we die they move on they pass on to

[49:53]the inheritors so when we die our assets we could pick up

[49:56]to one third onethird of your assets you could pick how you

[50:01]want it to be spent someone says why can't I pick all

[50:04]of them no the religion says during your life you had the

[50:10]you had the ability to do whatever you want with your money

[50:13]as long as you're alive you could do whatever you want with

[50:16]all of your money the moment you die you only have onethird

[50:19]two-thirds of it that's it even in fact Scholars say when a

[50:26]person becomes terminally ill so for example the doctors they come and

[50:29]they tell this person you have a couple months left this is

[50:32]the illness that a person is going to die in at that

[50:37]moment this person becomes meaning this person cannot touch two-thirds of their

[50:40]wealth you only have the right for one3 with the two3 that's

[50:46]going to be divided based on the laws of inheritance which are

[50:49]mentioned in the Quran you have for example levels you have the

[50:54]first level the sons and the parents the second level you have

[50:58]the the second level you have the brothers and the sisters and

[51:03]the grandparents now of course if the first level is there they're

[51:06]going to block the second level and then the third level if

[51:09]no one is around then you're going to have the aunts and

[51:14]the uncles they're going to be in the third tier so but

[51:16]the first level blocks the second and the second blocks the third

[51:20]and of course the spouses the husband and the wife they're always

[51:23]there they always get their share before it is divided amongst the

[51:28]amongst the relatives so this is with regards to the 2/3 2third

[51:33]of all your assets it's going to be divided that way they

[51:37]come and they see how much is the house worth how much

[51:40]is the car worth how much is that scent falling on the

[51:43]ground whatever it is that's all money they come and they calculate

[51:46]it the stocks whatever it is and then they divide it based

[51:51]on the laws of Islam based on the laws of the Quran

[51:53]can I come and give someone more than what the Quran has

[51:59]given them no for example some people they come and they say

[52:04]why is it that now this is this requires its own speech

[52:08]to come and explain it why does a man a son for

[52:13]example inherit double the daughter of course because the son has to

[52:16]the boy the man has to give the Mahar the son has

[52:19]to spend on the family there are many reasons for this but

[52:23]can I come and say no I want to give them equally

[52:24]or I want to give this person more than this person I

[52:27]can't there's one thing I could do and that is my onethird

[52:33]you have onethird you could do whatever you want with that oneir

[52:36]you could give it to one person maybe you have a favorite

[52:41]son or daughter or you could give it to um an organization

[52:47]a charity a Masjid you could do something good with it some

[52:52]some Act of Charity that will remain forever or some people they

[52:56]come and they want to for example give their daughters from that

[52:59]share so that at the end of the day the Son and

[53:03]the daughter will receive equally this is all you're free to do

[53:07]whatever you want with that onethird and this is the division of

[53:14]the of the assets and this is very important it's very important

[53:17]to write this down to do this because at the end of

[53:21]the day you have assets instead of having I've seen many times

[53:23]when a person passes away the whole family's together the day the

[53:26]father or the mother pass away the whole family is divided they

[53:30]start fighting with one another over inheritance they start fighting with one

[53:33]another over belongings over money deal with it sort sort it out

[53:39]before there's going to be any problems before you die deal with

[53:42]this problem don't allow this problem to take place and the religion

[53:45]of Islam instructs us to do this says everyone should have a

[53:52]because had a Allah he ordered he says I want IM Ali

[53:56]to bear me I want IM Ali to be the after me

[53:58]I want this and I want he had certain things that he

[54:04]ordered now when should a person write down their was when should

[54:09]the will be written down do I have to be old to

[54:11]write down a was no you don't need to be old you

[54:15]could be young you could be very healthy and you have a

[54:20]was why because was first of all it's not only about the

[54:22]money how you want it to be divided maybe it's about you

[54:27]wanting to guide your children you wanting to send a lasting message

[54:30]to your family to your children say your Shah in it we

[54:33]mentioned the first thing you write in it is your testimony of

[54:38]belief say say that in there so that they know about it

[54:40]second maybe you have DS maybe I borrowed money from someone and

[54:47]I'm going to forget about it 10 years 20 years Allah prolongs

[54:49]the life or Allah takes away the life let this be known

[54:52]let this be written down so that you don't die and then

[54:55]this person comes later on on your funeral and he says I

[54:57]want the money and write down maybe I missed a prayer one

[55:05]day and I forgot about it who's going to remember this later

[55:09]write this down let it be written down let it be documented

[55:12]so this is why it's very good to write down the was

[55:18]and in fact the Hadith says as many people they're afraid to

[55:21]write a will because they say that means it's it's a depressing

[55:26]topic and that means I'm going to die soon no in fact

[55:28]the Hadith says that Allah May prolong a person's life if they

[55:33]have the there are SE several things that if a person has

[55:36]it will be better for your life and better for your afterlife

[55:41]one of them is for example having a cfan having a cin

[55:43]in your room with you in your house you have it you

[55:48]look at it every day and looking at the cin is recommended

[55:50]put it in a place where every time you open the cabinet

[55:55]you're going to see it why because because this will remind me

[55:59]of my reality I have the Gucci and the Louis Vuitton and

[56:01]all of this hanging in my closet I also have this cin

[56:07]hanging there too that's going to be my exit gown that's going

[56:10]to be what I'm going to leave with and by the way

[56:14]having a cfan it's must to have a good quality cfan a

[56:17]lot of people they come and they say you know this is

[56:20]go go buy whatever it is or someone comes and donates when

[56:22]someone dies no go and buy a cfan go and invest in

[56:29]this and if you have Believers if you have M signing your

[56:32]kaan meaning I will testify that this person is a mman try

[56:39]to get that done because this will be something that you will

[56:42]take with you when you leave you have all these people signing

[56:45]your Kean that they testify that you're a believer of course A

[56:49]lot of times this happens after a person dies they begin to

[56:52]sign the Kean of the person so these are this is when

[56:57]should I do it do it now don't worry about it do

[57:02]it now and put the one-third as a charity an act of

[57:04]Charity because a lot of people they come and they say yes

[57:10]inshallah after I die I'm planning on building this I'm planning on

[57:13]helping orphans I'm planning on building a Masjid after I die do

[57:19]it during your life why wait why wait when when we die

[57:22]we don't need the money anymore but when you're living you need

[57:25]it but then it's a greater sign of Faith it's a greater

[57:29]sign of IM that this is the time that I gave it

[57:32]one day there was a man from amongst the Muslims he passed

[57:37]away and he had given his onethird he had given it to

[57:39]the S sakas charity so he had dates he had a storage

[57:45]room filled with dates and they told Allah come and help this

[57:48]person divide Let's Help the Let's Help divide the assets so came

[57:54]they were putting the dates and boxes and and whatever it is

[57:57]and they were giving it to the poor at the end there

[58:02]was one piece of date on the ground one piece of date

[58:04]on the ground Allah he came and he took it he held

[58:08]it and he shows it to the Muslims he tells them if

[58:14]this person had donated one date during his life it had been

[58:19]it would have been better than all of that that he had

[58:22]just donated after his death why because during your life you actually

[58:26]value money what value does money have when we die that's why

[58:32]it's easy to give after we die but it's not easy to

[58:34]give when we are alive and I've seen some they take care

[58:38]of their issues during their life you have Salah that you need

[58:40]to be need to be done start doing it now don't write

[58:44]write it in the write it in the will in case you

[58:48]didn't make it but start doing the Salah now you have religious

[58:51]dues start doing them now you want to do a good deed

[58:56]give it now instead of later there's a Masjid I heard the

[59:00]story from one scholar there's a Masjid in mhad he The Scholar

[59:02]he says I went to this Masjid with my father and you

[59:07]enter in some mosque some mjid you could feel the spirituality in

[59:10]it other places you go you might not feel it he says

[59:14]this place you could feel the spirituality in it why he says

[59:19]this Masjid was built couple hundred years ago but it still remains

[59:23]and people are praying in it and people are worship [Music] you

[60:26]guys didn't care for me to eat the fruits together with me

[60:31]you think I'm going to wait for you you're going after I

[60:33]die you're going to do good deeds in my name during my

[60:37]life you didn't care to eat fruits with me after my death

[60:41]how much Faith am I going to have that you're going to

[60:44]actually do some Sak some good deeds in my name and this

[60:49]is what happens a lot of times when people pass away they

[60:51]leave behind a lot of money your whole life everything that you've

[60:54]worked for your whole life is all pass down to a generation

[60:58]to to a group of people to your children to your family

[61:00]now the Quran says they need 2/3 goes to them but at

[61:06]least the one-third try to do something good don't leave it behind

[61:08]if a person does not make the was in the one-third then

[61:13]the whole amount will be distributed amongst the family but if you

[61:17]do that onethird then you will be able to do some good

[61:21]deeds and the best Deeds is a meaning you give I could

[61:26]for example feed a poor person person this person eats it and

[61:29]that's done but I could do something where this becomes recurring this

[61:33]is a this is a it's going to continuously generate Tha for

[61:40]example helping someone teaching someone raising an orphan this orphan will grow

[61:47]this orphan will be educated helping a Masjid anyone who comes and

[61:51]prays in this mid for hundreds of years however it lasts you

[61:54]will receive the theab so my dear brothers and sisters this is
