Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, it is customary that when we bury somebody, we demand ourselves
of some important matters.
This is not in the way of a eulogy.
It is more in the way of a reminder to ourselves.
I remind myself and you that every one of us,
there are two dates in our lives.
One is the day on which we were born.
And the other one is the day on which we die.
If you look at a gravestone, if you go to any cemetery,
on the gravestone, these two dates are written.
So there is a date which is written,
say 20th of October, 19th.
And then there is a dash.
And then the date on which the person died,
that date is written.
Our entire life is that dash.
Every single thing, every breath you take,
every word you speak, every action you did,
every action you wanted to do but did not do,
every decision you made, whether it was good or bad,
every single thing is in that dash.
Every single one of us, no matter our ethnicity,
no matter our religion, no matter our nationality,
no matter our color, no matter our race,
no matter our race, comes into this world
without...
without anything material.
And every single one of us, no matter all of those things,
also lives this world without anything material.
But what goes with us is our actions,
our actions, our decisions,
the reasons we decide,
what we decided,
what we decided,
who we helped, who we harmed,
who we pleased, who we displeased,
and so on.
These go with us.
Rasulullah , the Prophet Muhammad ,
peace and blessings be upon him,
he reminded us two very important things.
In one hadith he said that,
he said that,
he said that the deeds, all the deeds,
everything of a person come to an end when he dies,
or she dies.
He said except three.
Everything comes to an end when the person dies except three.
One is Sadakha Jariya,
ongoing charity,
any act of charity that the person did,
which continues after them.
Whatever that may be,
any good action which continues after them.
Sadakha Jariya.
And the second one is,
a child who prays for them.
A child who makes dua for them.
And the third one is,
any beneficial knowledge that they had,
which they communicated and taught other people.
These three, everything else.
Doesn't go with them.
All actions come to an end.
In another hadith, in another,
one of his beautiful teachings he said,
that when a person dies,
his or her material wealth stays in the house.
Figuratively speaking, stays in the house,
stays in the bank account,
stays in the stock exchange, whatever.
So this is one, one,
if you want to call it a set of friends, for example.
They all stay here.
All my Ferraris and all my Learjets and
all the Gulfstreams and you name it.
Stays here.
Stays right there in the house, in the, in the, you know, whatever safe.
And there is another set of friends go with him to the cemetery.
They take the, they push the body, they shroud,
they take them to the cemetery.
They put them in their grave.
And they turn back.
And that includes all of those
who claim to love them more than they love themselves.
I love my wife more than I love myself.
I will give my life for, all of this is fine.
We don't deny that.
But no matter how much you love your wife,
no matter how much you love your father, your son, your wife,
they go into their grave,
they will call them up.
And they go home.
And that person, whoever it is,
will stand before his crate,
will stand before Abu al-Adamey,
would stand before the Creator, the maintainer, the sustainer,
the protector, the provider,
everything which exists,
alone.
You have won alone.
You will leave this world alone.
And it won't matter at that time when we stand before Allah.
Who in this world we pleased,
who in this world said this about us,
who in this world said this about me or that about me,
who in this world gave me this position, that position.
Nothing will matter.
The only thing which will matter is,
is my Rabb, is my Creator, is Allah pleased with me or not?
That's it.
That is it.
Every President,
