Brothers and sisters and dear friends, welcome to another video.
00:00:21.000
I'm here with Brother Ohi, he's from Iman Channel.
00:00:25.000
He's the sound guy he makes, the sound effects.
00:00:30.000
Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to react to a video.
00:00:34.000
Let's watch it, let's watch it Inshallah, and see what it's about.
00:01:36.000
Now, reaction videos, some people think reaction is just like watching a video and like, oh,
00:01:47.000
Like personally for you, when you first saw it as well?
00:01:50.000
When I first saw it, I thought, he's reciting beautifully, you know?
00:01:57.000
And initially, I thought, my man, like, his chest is probably hurting because he's probably
00:02:02.000
squeezing his chest too much to get out of his vocals.
00:02:05.000
And he did kind of like, he had his eye twitching for a second.
00:02:09.000
So when I first saw it, I didn't know he's going, I mean...
00:02:12.000
Did it ever close your mind that this is what's about to happen next?
00:02:15.000
Because to me, I just thought, okay, it's beautiful.
00:02:17.000
And I was just like, you know when he's like, okay, mashallah, maybe something I can listen
00:02:20.000
But what happened after, like, to you personally, what kind of reflection did you
00:02:30.000
To be honest, I thought, you know what, anything can happen anytime.
00:02:39.000
The sheikh here, I'm pretty sure he wasn't prepared for that, but it happened.
00:02:45.000
I mean, we can talk about how lucky he is and all that.
00:02:53.000
Now, the first thing that comes to me when I see stuff like this is, okay, what was
00:03:00.000
Like, obviously, like, like, most beautiful voice.
00:03:04.000
When I find this out, actually, I got goosebumps, yeah?
00:03:08.000
Because it came to my mind, I was like, come on, what was he reciting?
00:03:12.000
He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best indeed.
00:03:19.000
And he is the exalted in might and the forgiven, yeah?
00:03:24.000
And he, look, look, Aki, wallah, this is mind-blowing, yeah?
00:03:27.000
And he basically, and SubhanAllah, you know what's so profound?
00:03:30.000
That if my chest was hurting, like, I'll just maybe just stop and panic and just let
00:03:40.000
Like, even though he's mumbling, he's actually carrying on.
00:03:43.000
And wallah, he just shows that the Quran, like, was so instilled in him, that as he's
00:03:49.000
Wallah, Aki, I'm being honest, I don't know, yeah?
00:03:54.000
I would have to stop and tell somebody, he's just carrying on, Aki.
00:04:00.000
And this verse, Aki, what's your reaction to this verse?
00:04:02.000
He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is the best indeed.
00:04:13.000
What this means, and people might misunderstand.
00:04:15.000
Nobody's saying, look, leave this life completely.
00:04:21.000
We're not here to, like, depress you and just...
00:04:23.000
What we're just saying, look, death is a reality, yeah?
00:04:25.000
And in one of my reaction videos, let me just show you, let me just quickly show you.
00:04:32.000
What we do is, I'll put the clip there, is, there's a mirror.
00:04:37.000
We say, this is you right now, obviously, you're looking in the mirror, that's you.
00:04:39.000
We're going to show you a picture of you in the future, yeah?
00:04:41.000
So we turn it around and there's a picture of a casket, yeah?
00:04:52.000
So are you telling me tomorrow if a God forbid a car hits you, you're not going to die?
00:05:36.000
Like, I think we're the only creatures on this planet that live like they're not going to die tomorrow.
00:05:40.000
So, when we are reminded of death, I bet you so many people are going to avoid watching this.
00:05:51.000
Nobody's saying, okay, every day we're reminded of death, but every now and then it's good.
00:05:54.000
And, to be honest, I don't want to long it out.
00:05:56.000
But, like I said before, I just want to share one verse with you guys.
00:05:58.000
Like I said before, in the Quran, in chapter 4, Surah Nisa verse 78.
00:06:05.000
Even if you should be within towers of lofty construction.
00:06:08.000
But if good comes to you, then they say, this is from Allah, etc, etc.
00:06:12.000
Guys, we can't run away from death as much as we like, yeah?
00:06:16.000
The man who is wise, or the woman who is wise, would think of how do I prepare for that, you know?
00:06:23.000
Meaning, what I was coming to my original point is that, look, practice your religion as much as you can.
00:06:28.000
You dying in a state of meaning, what we mean is, don't die in a state of, you was clubbing, and you was drunk, and whatever it may be.
00:06:37.000
What we're saying is, yes, may Allah give us a death like that in Salah, etc.
00:06:41.000
However, nobody's saying that you have to die like this to say, okay, mashallah, you're definitely saved.
00:06:46.000
No, what we're saying is, look, for example, imagine you died and you prayed Maghrib.
00:06:53.000
You died and he was reciting Quran, for example.
00:06:56.000
Or you died when you was doing an act of charity, yeah?
00:06:59.000
So what we're trying to say is, we're not saying you have to be like, you can be like them, but nobody's saying you have to be like a big sheikh.
00:07:05.000
Big sheikh, you should aspire to, but do your little thing what you can do.
00:07:10.000
Imagine you was feeding a neighbour of a person, and you passed away.
00:07:14.000
So that's about it, guys, from me and Brother Ohi.
00:07:18.000
Is there any last words? Anything you want to say?
00:07:22.000
But even this reaction video, doing this, it actually made me think as well.
00:07:31.000
As-salamu alayhu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, from us and Iman channel.
