ان الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور انفسنا وسيئات اعمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له واشهد ان لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له واشهد ان محمدا عبده ورسوله يا ايها الذين امنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن الا وانتم مسلمون يا ايها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحده وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساء واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والارحام ان الله كان عليكم رقيبا يا ايها الذين امنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يصلح لكم اعمالكم ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوزا عظيما اما بعد فان اصدق الحديث كتاب الله وخير الهدي هدي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وشر الامور محدثاتها وكل محدثه بدعه وكل بدعه ضلاله اما بعد فيقول الله تعالى في كتابه الكريم وجاءت سكره الموت بالحق ذلك ما كنت منه تحيد الله سبحانه وتعالى tell সুحانه وى ‏and so trouing to us is going to be. We don't know how it is going to be. We don't know where it is going to be. ‏But that is all knowledge that we do not need truly. If anything, the answers to those question would imped our journey to if we were to have them. A trouing of our existence is our morality. الله سبحانه وتعالى are approaching with breath we take with beat of our heart and our death ‏We don't know when we die. We don't know how. And we don't know where. ‏And some of us don't even know why. And this is something that trouy from Allah. ‏anwers to these question and if anything if we had thew to these question that knowledge would do us more harm than good when we think of our death i mean truly think of our death not the way that pop culture speaks and refers to death like ‏J not de well you got die the person says as theyise the poison to their not me by tells inران ‏trting with our without distractions and imagining that one day could be today could be in 5 minutes, could be in 50 years. ‏We don't know. And honestly what's ironic about that it is just as likely to be 5 minutes from now as it is 50 years from now. It's just as likely. ‏Not one of us here is able to guarantee that he has another 10 breaths left in his lifan or breaths. One of us here can guarantee that his heart or her heart will beat another time after this. That's the irony of death. ‏And this either empowers us or it cripples us. Allah subhanahu waalainds us of death and he refers to it as what is Allah gives us the imagery of the drunken state of being a death doorstep. ‏Because when a person is about to die and the usion collapses and the here's reality rushes in the true colors of that person manifest and come to the surface and rise to the surface just a person who is unimped ‏ingarations when they drink enough they become very truthful people when they drink alcohol when they reach a state of intoxication to where they are feeling good they feeling they just on cloud and they get thatquid courage aser to they then start to ‏and الله سبحانه وتالى سكره الموت ذلك ما كنت منه تحيد ايش يعني تحيد؟ يعني هارب منه تحيد شارد وهارب يمين وشمال تريد ان تنجو من الموت ذلك ما كنت منه تحيد اينما تكونوا يدرككم الموت ولو كنتم في بروج مشيده يقول الله ويقول سبحانه وتعالى ولن يؤخر الله نفسا اذا جاء اجلها حتى الانبياء والرسل اذا جاءت اجالهم فان الله لن يؤخر هذا الشيء لماذا؟ لان الله تعالى خلق هذا الخلق باتقان الذي احسن كل شيء خلقه خلقه احسن اي ادقن كل شيء وخلق السماوات والارض وما بينهما بالحق واجل مسمى سمى هذا الاجل حتى البعوضه سمى اجلها قبل ان يخلقها سبحانه وتعالى ‏Everyone of us has a date, a time, a place that we will die. And no one can save us from this moment. ‏It's a moment of truth. It's the moment that our enti life has been working up our prop صلى الله عليه وسلم usice that if we were to make our decisions in life based on this advice we would rarely fall short. اكثروا ذكر اللذات often constantly on the droyer of pleasures meaning death it destroys pleasures. ‏It makes food not t as good and makes our feelings of eupia when we're getting just what we want, just how we want, just when we want a little bit more dull because we remember that no matter how vivid something is, no matter how good it feels, no matter how vivid the euphoria ‏Every single one of us has a day and time of death. Youve seen a people you have seen a dead peopleentually. ‏Now it doesn't mean that we live a life of some kind of twisted death where we actively seek our death. No, but death is the true litmus test of whether you are upon truth or falsehood in your life. ‏any you on any in your life you look through the lens of death with this thing that I'm doing here is my death going to enhance this thing or is it going to stunt it and ruin it and if ‏by not anything out the un can make peace with death and death into the framewor of why we live it is not the truth it ‏Because death we're t in this western culture since we are kids we t that is unnatural death only happens when someone makes a mistake somewhere that someh we control death that death only happens if there's someone to blame for it. ‏That is not at all what death is. As a matter of fact, death could be the most natural thing in the world. Life is the true anomaly. Death is the default state of everything. ‏Life is an anom where does it come from why life strugle and against why if I today years from now what is the differ in the grand schem of thingsutely nothing and so one the greatestw to ‏B te us de looked as anything except for the end of many stages that the human being goes through. ‏go primary stages in advancement in his journey to and is a necessary step doesn't have to be a bad thing it doesn't have to be that someone is responsible and a mistake was made when death comes to visit is ‏natural thing in the world. What is unnatural is to act it doesn't exist to act it only happens to other people it only happens to people in the news. Death doesn't happen to us it happ to everyone else not us. ‏If you go to the cemetery and you look at those tombstones and you spend some time there and you put yourone away and you don't speak and you don't talk and you live in that moment, you're going to observe a pattern there and that is that there is no age for death. ‏are infants that die the moment they born are people die over years and everything there to us as to when a person you could go and get a checkup and everything is tip top and walk out of the doctor's office get hit by a cookie truck and off to the cemetery you go and then we try to make sense. الله سبحانه وتالى you can you needle pres الله سبحانه وتعالى اولم يتفكروا ما خلق الله السماوات والارض وما بينهما الا بالحق واجل مسمى ليس فقط معلوم عند الله بل سماه وكتبه في اللوح المحفوظ ولن يؤخر الله نفسا اذا جاء اجلها اللهcept.
