Virtue of Time - Abu Idrees Muhammad

Here is a timely reminder for us all from Abu Idrees Muhammad (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) about the importance of time.  None of us know when it will come, but what is more important is how have we prepared for its coming?

One of the examples that he gives of the fact that there are no guarantees about tomorrow, is what he narrates about what happened to Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank and his wife (rahimahumullah Ta'ala) on the final journey that they undertook for Hajj in 2011).

The original audio can be found here.

The Three Stages of Human Life - Abu Idrees Muhammad

This is a khutbah that was delivered by Abu Idrees Muhammad (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) on the 7th of May 2010 at Masjid as-Salafi, Birmingham.  The complete audio can be found on their official SoundCloud account. 

So, what are these three stages of a human life?

  • 1. The Life of this World (Dunya): This is the temporary, physical realm where humanity is tested. Mankind navigates earthly desires, trials, and choices, gathering deeds that will determine their eternal fate.

  • 2. The Realm of the Grave (Barzakh): The transitional phase between the earthly life and the Day of Judgment. Here, the soul rests in a state of existence in the grave, experiencing either peace and glimpses of Paradise or punishment and regret depending on their earthly faith and actions. 

  • 3. The Hereafter (Akhirah): The final, eternal destination. This stage begins with the Day of Resurrection, where all of mankind is gathered, held to account, and ultimately assigned to their everlasting abode in either Paradise (Jannah) or the Hellfire (Jahannam).

  • I have taken this khutbah due to the immense importance of the subject matter and extracted the following benefits:

    1 - The Three Stages Mankind Travels Through:
    2 - Stage 1- Our Time in the Dunya:
    3 - The Reality of the Dunya & Our Purpose while in the Dunya:
    4 - The Single Thing that is Not Cursed in the Dunya:
    5 - The Reason a Person will Wish to Return to the Dunya when Death Comes to Him:
    6 - The Successful Ones & Those Who Wronged Themselves: 7 - Stage 2- The Life of the Barzakh: 8 - The Questioning of Munkar & Nakir in the Grave & the Two Outcomes: 9 - The Three Things that Follow the Deceased & the Only One that Remains with Him:
    10 - Stage 3- The Hereafter:
    11 - Proof that Belief in the Hereafter is from the Pillars of Eemaan:
    12 - The Fear & State of Mankind on the Day of Resurrection & Their Questioning Before Allah:
    13 - The End Result for Those Who Took Their Deen as Play & Amusement & Allowed the Dunya to Deceive Them:
    15 - A Tremendous Statement from ‘Ali b. Abi Ṭalib (رضى الله عنه):
    Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

    The Two Resurrections After Death - Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree

    Here is a lecture by Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree (rahimahullah Ta'ala) that I found on the YouTube channel of Umm Uthmaan al-Majariyyah (may Allah have mercy upon her).

    There are a lot of great lectures out there, but are occasionally of a poor quality.  It a blessing from Allah to be able to clean them up a little, walhamdulillah.  This particular lecture was translated by Abu Talhah Dawood Burbank (rahimahumullah Ta'ala).

    As the title alludes, there are two types of resurrection.  The minor resurrection which is the stupor of death and that it came with the truth which is meeting with Allah, the Exalted and the soul will be brought to judgment and will have its reward or punishment which will be advanced to it before the major Day of Resurrection. Then He mentioned the major Resurrection as He, the Almighty says, وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيدِ which means, “And the Trumpet will be blown, that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given) (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).” [ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة ق  Soorah Qaaf 050, Verse 020]

    From: AL-FAWA'ID – A Collection of Wise Sayings by Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [ رحمه الله , rahimahullaah, may Allaah have mercy on him, died 751AH]
    Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

    Compatibility in Creed is a Prerequisite of Marriage - Abul-Hasan Malik

    Here is an extremely beneficial khutbah delivered by Abul-Hasan Malik (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) that deals with the importance of compatibility in Creed (Aqeedah) being a prerequisite of marriage. 

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine the date of the khutbah but it was uploaded more than 10 years ago. 

    So, you are looking to get married? What are the questions that you should be asking?

    Should they be questions like: "Can you take care of my needs?" "How much money do you have in your account?" "How much money do you earn?" "Can you take care of my bills?"

    Should you be looking for how well he is known in the community?

    Or, should you be asking about his Deen?  

    When asking about his religion should it be superficial questions such as does he drink alcohol, or does he get high?

    Or, should you be asking about his Aqeedah, his Salah, and his understanding about the Branches of Tawheed.

    Have a listen to what he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) mentions as to what you (sisters & brothers) should be looking for in a life partner.
