Before I start I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most merciful, the most just, or praise his glory and gratitude. Belong to him for the works that we do at Salaam Studios.
00:00:55.420 Now, welcome to this specific show. We don't have a name for it as usual. We're just discussing some current affairs and things that's been happening. And now we had, this is quite interesting. Okay, this is quite interesting. And we're going to discuss some deep stuff.
00:01:09.240 Rapper Juice, yeah? Juice WRLD, I don't know if that stands for world, has passed away. He had a fit in an airport in Chicago airport and he passed away.
00:01:21.320 Now, in 2017, a rapper called Lil Peep, I think that's what his name is. In 2018, XXX Tenshaces, Tenshaces or something like that, along that name. In 2018, he died.
00:01:33.620 In 2019, this year, Brother Cadet, who was a rapper himself, was involved in an accident and he died as well. And also in 2019, end of this year, Juice, the rapper Juice died.
00:01:45.240 Now, what can we learn from this? This is actually very key. And one thing that's quite actually interesting is like, it's a self-proclaimed prophecy, self-fulfilled prophecy, self-fulfilled prophecy.
00:01:57.420 Now, watch this video, which I don't encourage you guys to watch it, but I'm just going to play it in mute, inshallah.
00:02:05.840 And yeah, so here we go. There's no anything stuff in there, like a woman, etc. So here we go.
00:02:12.520 This time it was unexpected. Okay, this is XXX Tenacious, if I'm not mistaken. That's him. He passed away.
00:02:19.000 So in his rap tune, yeah, which I'm not going to mention the name. Hopefully you guys don't see as well.
00:02:24.620 So he mentioned the death of this rapper. Last time it was the drugs he was lacing.
00:02:31.660 This is Lil Peep, I think if I'm not mistaken. He died as well. I think of an overdose.
00:02:39.840 All legends fall in the making. Now, this is interesting here because now he's talking about, you know, people that he knew and he believes all legends fall in the making.
00:02:48.780 Yeah, that's what he claims they are. And he's just basically reminiscing and, you know,
00:02:54.060 just remembering these people. So it's done a tribute to them. And subhanAllah, look at this.
00:03:04.240 Sorry truth, dying young, demon youth. Yeah, I don't know what that means.
00:03:10.740 Now, look at this carefully, guys. Listen to this carefully. What's the 27 club? Yeah, I don't know what he means by that.
00:03:17.660 Yeah, maybe he's talking about a group of people who died at the age of 27.
00:03:23.720 We ain't making it past 21.
00:03:26.260 I've been going through paranoia. Yeah.
00:03:31.000 It's always going to keep a gun, etc. Well, if that's a lifestyle you live, you live by the gun, you die by the gun.
00:03:36.840 Now, let's rewind that. Yeah.
00:03:38.900 Down the world we live in now. Let's see if there's anything that we can get out of.
00:03:43.500 Okay.
00:03:44.300 Okay.
00:03:44.620 Okay. So let's go back a bit. Yeah. Okay.
00:03:48.720 Let's go back a bit.
00:03:51.400 This is, and this is what people are claiming. Yeah.
00:03:54.160 He, it's like, we ain't making it past 21. Yeah.
00:03:58.100 He died at the age of 21. I think they're saying a couple of days before his birthday. Yeah.
00:04:03.180 Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows best.
00:04:06.300 Did he know that? Did he just say that?
00:04:08.000 But what is profound is that when you look at these rappers, yeah, and you look at their deaths, this is a reminder to us.
00:04:15.480 You know why? Because look how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is picking people that have got massive reach.
00:04:19.520 This video has reached 39 million people. Just that video alone.
00:04:23.220 God knows how many videos he's done and through other platforms as well.
00:04:27.220 Millions and billions of people are watching these people.
00:04:32.180 And what are people taking from it?
00:04:34.420 What are we learning from this?
00:04:35.980 What do we learn from this?
00:04:38.340 These rappers that we are looking up to, that we think they're living the life or whatever it may be.
00:04:43.120 Most of the times, if you look at them, they are actually going through like some kind of a depression.
00:04:48.720 Yeah. They are going through some kind of issues.
00:04:51.500 So if I open this specific video.
00:04:55.200 Sorry, I'll just close that. Yeah.
00:04:59.960 So this guy, this himself, Juice, yeah, he died, died at the age of 21.
00:05:04.980 If you look at his lifestyle, a lot of people think that, you know, like he's, you know, he's living it.
00:05:09.880 It's all about that. And most of the time, these rappers themselves either commit suicide, drug overdose.
00:05:14.680 Now, why do you need to take drugs? Yeah.
00:05:16.580 A lot of them have to go and take drugs before they can perform.
00:05:19.920 Why? Because they are suffering from depression.
00:05:22.120 Because you need to understand when your goals are finite, when you reach them in this life, you've got nothing else to do.
00:05:28.720 Like Tyson was saying in one interview, he goes, once I beat Klitschko, they asked me, what's next?
00:05:32.840 He said, depression is next. Because your goals are finite.
00:05:35.760 And when you reach them, that's it. What's next?
00:05:37.700 But when we have our goals infinite, that is something that we have to work on until the day we die.
00:05:42.680 And inshallah, until the hereafter.
00:05:44.660 So you can see sometimes with this video himself, that sometimes you see like they are lost.
00:05:52.700 Yeah. So brothers and sisters, I said in this, in another different video as well, that the reason why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not tell us when we're going to die is because for this very reason.
00:06:03.780 We should live like we're going to die.
00:06:06.380 We should live like we're going to die tomorrow.
00:06:09.640 You see, people can perceive this and understand this phrase in two ways.
00:06:13.160 Number one, do as much fun as you can, have as much fun as you can, do whatever you can because you only live once.
00:06:20.620 Go there, get it, live it as much as you can because you're going to die once.
00:06:25.440 A believer, a Muslim will look at this and say, I've got one chance, man.
00:06:32.120 I've got one chance and I need to make the most out of this.
00:06:35.900 And this is what he will do and this is how he will act.
00:06:37.780 And if you go to my video about the videos I did about why Andy Ruz lost, a beautiful reminder of why he lost and how we will lose in the hereafter.
00:06:46.940 And there's a connection between him and what happened.
00:06:49.800 So let's, inshallah, understand that this life is nothing but a test.
00:06:56.100 When you're going to go, you don't know.
00:06:58.340 And there's a reason why Allah hasn't told you when you're going to go because it's a test.
00:07:02.660 You're going to have your ups and downs, but it's struggling and striving because this is not going to bring you happiness.
00:07:08.220 You know it and I know it.
00:07:09.660 2017, 18, 19, Lil Peep, XXX Tenshaishis and Jus, yeah, and Kadet as well.
00:07:19.880 And under Kadet's name, Alhamdulillah, we raised money for a water well.
00:07:24.040 And this is on the screen.
00:07:25.460 You can see as well, inshallah, that this is the water well.
00:07:28.300 And we're going to have people making dua.
00:07:30.180 And we want him to benefit.
00:07:31.660 Alhamdulillah, he died as a Muslim.
00:07:32.980 And we can do something as a Sadaqa Jari.
00:07:35.420 And we try to do that, inshallah.
00:07:36.580 And you can see that, brothers and sisters, work for your hereafter.
00:07:41.200 Be prepared.
00:07:42.500 Wallahi, if I told you guys that I have an investment opportunity for you guys, a house, a Mercedes Benz, an S-Class,
00:07:48.200 you will do everything in your power to get there.
00:07:49.880 If I said it's £10,000 only, you would call friends, family.
00:07:52.780 You would even think it's a fraud, it's a scam.
00:07:54.580 Why? Because it's too good to be true.
00:07:56.560 Yeah, and those of you who believe in it will act towards getting it.
00:08:00.080 Brothers and sisters, think a millionaire's ahead.
00:08:03.160 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is offering something greater.
00:08:05.240 So, inshallah, please, learn from this as well, inshallah.
00:08:08.840 Don't take these people as some kind of a role model.
00:08:12.020 Why?
00:08:12.700 Because eventually, they have left this world without even knowing.
00:08:17.040 He did, I don't know.
00:08:19.580 He himself says in his rap music, we don't know.
00:08:23.360 Allah says in the Quran,
00:08:24.260 Competition in the worldly life increase and diverts you.
00:08:39.860 Until you visit the graves.
00:08:44.340 Know, you are going to know.
00:08:46.600 He says Allah's talking of certainty.
00:08:48.280 Know, you're going to know.
00:08:50.380 Then know, you are going to know.
00:08:52.820 You are surely going to know.
00:08:54.940 Know if you only knew with knowledge of certainty.
00:08:58.260 Brothers and sisters,
00:09:00.860 We are all amazed by these worldly things.
00:09:06.140 And that's why it's recommended that we go to the graveyard sometimes.
00:09:08.880 And there was a scholar who said something profound.
00:09:11.380 They asked him, they said,
00:09:12.120 Why do you never come and sit with us?
00:09:13.720 And you're always in the graveyards.
00:09:15.540 He said,
00:09:15.840 When I sit with you guys,
00:09:17.380 All you do is backbite others.
00:09:19.680 And when I leave you guys,
00:09:21.520 You're probably going to backbite me.
00:09:22.400 And when I'm with you guys,
00:09:24.160 Chilling with you guys,
00:09:25.120 You remind me of this dunya.
00:09:27.660 But he goes,
00:09:27.960 When I go to the graveyards,
00:09:29.240 Those people don't backbite me.
00:09:30.780 Neither do they backbite others.
00:09:32.180 And they remind me of the hereafter.
00:09:34.420 Brothers and sisters,
00:09:35.040 Have companions that will remind you of the hereafter.
00:09:37.320 Go to the graveyards.
00:09:38.400 Don't depress yourself.
00:09:39.420 Go every now and then.
00:09:40.400 It's just a reminder.
00:09:41.200 It's just a check.
00:09:42.120 You know?
00:09:42.560 Because indeed,
00:09:43.200 A reminder benefits a believer.
00:09:45.100 Remind yourself before it's too late.
00:09:48.580 Until next time.
00:09:49.840 Assalamualaikum.
00:09:50.540 What up to my bed?
