In this podcast, I talk about the tragic events that happened at the Ariana concert and how we should be more worried about our lives than we are about other people's lives. I also talk about a narration from Aisha and Anha of the Prophet about the day of Judgement.
00:00:18.700Download it now, brothers and sisters, and build a habit with the Quranly app right now.
00:00:25.500Asalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters in the air, so I hope you guys are well, inshaAllah.
00:00:28.820So a lot of people have been messaging me regarding this whole Travis, whether his name is Scott, concert, whoever he is, I don't really know.
00:00:35.080And they've been asking me to make comments about it.
00:00:36.980I don't really like making comments if there is nothing to make comments on.
00:00:41.200And there was a few people who lost their lives because of the whole carnage that happened, the chaos that happened in the event.
00:00:47.180Even, I heard sadly, some Muslim and his wife died, you know.
00:00:50.880So it is sad, it is sad that, you know, these people dying there, you don't know if you should be upset or cry at the fact that they died or the fact of where they died, you know.
00:00:59.260So anyways, one of the things that came to my mind, brothers and sisters, was a narration from Aisha and Anha of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
00:01:06.280that he said on the day of judgment that when everyone's resurrected, they're going to be naked, right.
00:01:10.800And Aisha and Anha, obviously, thinking about it, he said, look, won't people look at each other like there's going to be naked men and naked women.
00:01:17.460And the Prophet said, the matter is going to be so severe that people are not concerned about, you know, oh, there's a buff thing there, oh, that guy's handsome.
00:01:26.960Now, if we take that to the concert and see that tragedy that happened, when they were there partying, clubbing, drugs, you know, fun, whatever you want to call it, define fun.
00:01:37.100Yeah. OK. I don't think that's fun. But anyways, so they're having fun listening to music, maybe talking to the opposite gender, kissing, whatever it may be.
00:01:46.360OK. Especially for men, you know, looking at opposite gender, dressed up half naked, all these kind of stuff.
00:01:50.980But what's very interesting is that a lot of people described it as like, you know, like a concert from hell or something like that.
00:01:58.720Now, if you think about it, guys, in that very moment when this case was happening, everybody forgot about the music.
00:02:05.300Everybody forgot about the singers, the famous people. They forgot about them.
00:02:09.160They don't want nothing to do with them. Everyone forgot about the opposite gender.
00:02:13.000Everybody forgot about the music. Everyone forgot about the alcohol and the drink and the fun and the laughter.
00:02:16.620Everything stopped. People were shouting, stop the show, stop the show. Why?
00:02:21.620Because their life was in danger. The moment their life was in danger, they forgot about the entire world.
00:02:27.800Now, this is something that we need to reflect on. If in the dunya, when their life is at risk in that moment and people are panicking and shocked and like I might die or people are dying.
00:02:36.380They're seeing people dying and people are going to the cameraman and saying, stop the show.
00:02:40.520Just for a glimpse. Imagine. And this is to save yourself from death.
00:02:43.680What about on Yawm al-Qiyam, on the Day of Judgment, when people would come and they see the hellfire and they know there is no more death?
00:02:54.440It's not even a matter of dying, being scared of the unknown.
00:02:57.940Now you know what's in front of you. There's no more death.
00:03:02.460There's no more death. In Islam we believe that when death is bought as like a ram or some kind of an animal and slaughtered, there is no more death.
00:03:12.640People in paradise will live forever and the people of hell will live forever.
00:03:17.080I want you guys to imagine that moment.
00:03:19.100Brothers and sisters, if this can happen in the dunya and people panic like this, on Yawm al-Qiyamah, imagine the regret.
00:03:26.040Imagine. This is your opportunity, brothers and sisters, for you to reflect and say, wow, Allah is giving you a glimpse with these things, tragic events that happen, where people run for their life.
00:03:35.600Like, they don't care about anybody. Not mom, they don't care.
00:03:39.700On Yawm al-Qiyamah, the mom will fill the child into the fire instead of herself.
