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?
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:
14 - Preparing for Death & Not Waiting Until Tomorrow:
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]
