Bismillah we thank Allah
we praise him and we bear witness that
there is no God but one God Allah
and we bear witness that Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam is his
prophet and messenger
he conveyed the message he showed us the
straight path that would lead us to
success in this world and in the
hereafter
may Allah send his peace and blessings
and salutations upon his beloved prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and upon
those who followed him with
righteousness to the last day
my dear brothers and sisters
it is not a secret
that it's the Talk of the Town the
earthquake that has happened and struck
Southern turkey and Northern Syria
if you actually look at the pictures
they're saying the entire tectonic plate
like that piece of land has moved
towards the Mediterranean Sea
around three meters nine feet if you
look how the way is shifted
it's anywhere between six to nine feet
in certain areas where six feet certain
areas was nine feet
it's the equivalence of 120
nuclear bombs
the power and it was 16 to 17 kilometers
under the ground the source
obviously now it's public knowledge
that Allah said in the past
and on Earth on Earth
there is pieces
that are neighboring each other
Arabic means peace
on Earth there are pieces there are
neighboring each other
next to each other
and then another Surah that you all know
um
foreign by the sky that bounces things
back
and now science will explain that in a a
thousandth way for you
that is Southern and by the Earth that
has cracks
on in it
so Allah on one side mentions the
tectonic plates neighboring one another
and in another place it tells us that
the Earth is cracked it's nothing but
cracks deep cracks
that is Southern Southern Arabic means
deep crack
and you know one way to say I have a
migraines headache in Arabic is like I
feel my head is about to you know flip
partition apart crack into half that's
to describe the pain of my brain you
know well that is Southern
so Allah has mentioned this creation and
these tectonic plates rub against each
other
and they one is moving up the other one
is moving down or standing in its place
after a while
an energy built in between the two
tectonic plates and and then it snaps
that snapping is what we have witnessed
and as I am giving this football
standing not far
from the San Andreas fault here in
California in which the Pacific tectonic
plate is rubbing against North American
tectonic plates
and we are promised the big one if what
you have seen has been caused by 7.8
what they are telling us is 9.8
what we are due for in California male
lives though it will never make us
witness that may Allah the last time in
California when this happened at the end
of the 1800s San Francisco was burned
and flattened to Earth because of the
gas lines
an earthquake followed by fires the
entire city
people literally lived in the streets
and they show you the pictures it was
also six feet subhanallah what happened
now was six feet and it was also in
California six feet the shifts
like when you see the shift on the land
which is fascinating this is like a
something that's supposed to take a
thousand years happens within seconds
right so subhanallah
when we look at that the only reason why
this has not happened to us yet
alhamdulillah it's from Allah and we
thank him and we have
to take heed and learn a lesson
you know rasulullah in the beginning of
every he will recite this Ayah o mankind
or you who believe
be God fearing
remember Allah don't do bad
be God fearing God fearing mean you
don't hurt others you don't do Haram you
don't hurt yourself you don't hurt
Allah's creation you know you you obey
Allah you know you're straightforward
be God feeling
and do not die except in the state of
Islam Muslim
do not die except when you are in the
state of Islam so one says but I don't
know when I'm gonna die
how do how do Allah is telling you don't
die except when you're how do I know
when I'm gonna die how do I make sure
that when I die I'm a Muslim
and the answer to that is I was put in a
very beautiful linguistic way is the
answer to that is you only guarantee to
die as a Muslim is if you live as a
Muslim
so if something like this happened while
you're driving your car or sleeping in
your home you die in the state of Islam
how do you start to die in the state of
Islam when you have prayed there Isha
and then went to sleep you died in the
state of Islam
when you have intended tomorrow I will
wake up for Fajr and you don't wake up
to Fajr because of an earthquake you
died in the state of Islam
my dear brothers and sisters this what
happens until now I was listening to the
news report
the number has climbed to 23 000 people
it's a lot of pain
a lot of pain I saw a picture
I can't take it off my my head
and in this picture the building has
collapsed
and it has collapsed
in the second floor it exposed
a bit and on that bed there is a girl
sleeping
five six years old
she's sleeping on her bed and she's
sleeping on her stomach one hand to the
right one hand to the left
and she got you know smushed she died
and the father was at work working at
night he came back he saw his daughter
laying on the bed
right the building collapsed and exposed
her so he sat down next to her and he
held their hand
and he stayed there
he cannot pull his daughter out because
half of her is under the rebuild and the
other half is out he sat down and
bonding with his daughter over her death
six seven years old
this is only one story imagine the rest
of the stories
imagine the thousands and a thousand
this is something above and beyond our
comprehension this is when your mind as
a human stops
because you cannot process all of that
pain
but what we can understand from this
Islam comes with the good news when the
bad news hits always
and this Hadith
beautiful Hadith
the Martyrs from my ummah are five
someone that got stabbed
you know because you know either fight
or someone hated them or you know people
go angry and they stab someone if
someone stabs someone the one who
stabbed unfairly injustly that guy is
dying as a Shaheed
foreign
is the one who died due to an illness
inside him in Arabic this is area the
stomach is buttered
but if you go to the Arab world and you
want to go to see Internal Medicine the
internist
it says
because from Baton
button is what is hidden inside you so
any sickness from inside that kills you
from inside shame Ya Allah Ya Allah for
those who passed away from cancer passed
away from stomach problems from heart
problems from lung problems pancreatic
problems liver problems intestines
problems right subhanallah Allah gave
them the level of shahada what a
beautiful Deen
it's an honor to be a Muslim
and then the one
who drowned
the one who drowned drowned someone you
know went into the sea or in the river
and drowned
Allah consider him as a Shahid and
another Hadith it adds well-hariable
which means the one who died due to
burning
got caught in Fire and burned is Shaheed
and then comes this one was
the one who was in his house and the
house collapsed on him that's called
Adam means collapse
which means the one who died because the
building collapsed on him
didn't mention for whatever reason right
we're just anyone in any building
for whatever National reason if the
building collapse on you
inshallah it doesn't happen to you or
your loved ones but if it collapses on
that person
Allah from the mercy
from his Mercy for the pain and
suffering that that person will go
through and his family will go through
after him Allah give him the level of
shahada
why because the Shaheed Allah gives him
Allah gives him to pull 70 people of his
family
to pull them to Jannah with him
so when you are talking about the one
who died stabbed
the one who died
you know for no reason right the one who
died
because of sickness
the one who died because of
drowning the one who died because of
burning the one who died because of
collapse of the building on him or her
the one who died
for the sake of Allah in a battle all of
this
subhanallah
and each one of them insha Allah Allah
will give him the power to bring 70 of
his beloved ones and family members to
Jannah
this is what Islam gives you that no one
else can give you but Allah only Allah
so what we see right now as pain and
suffering and like why why why
we know in our hearts that these people
including us
we're all set to die
yesterday not yesterday
two days ago
we did the burial
on Wednesday for our dear beloved
foreign
he was a heart surgeon internal surgeon
general surgeon helped thousands of
people so subhanallah then he himself
died
Parkinson's hit him
for 20 years the last 10 years were
painful the last two years were very
painful
and very hard but Allah granted him
and we buried him may Allah have mercy
on his soul
so when you look at that
these 23 000 maybe they will become 50
000 inshallah not that many
maybe twenty five thousand
the idea is these people you and I know
that they and us we're gonna die one day
it's just when it happens suddenly like
that on a large scale and you witness it
you're like shocked
but otherwise we all settled that
they're gonna die one day we're gonna
die one day so that nobody is an
argument about that it's just why did
this happen this way right
and the answer is you only see half of
the picture always there is this is what
you and I see and there is animal rape
what you don't see
how many of these people
like us
are sinners and we are the worst sinners
that with this death Allah wiped out
their sins and got admitted to Jannah
and they will live in Jannah
they shall live in there forever for
eternity
how many of them
this is what gave us Solace this is what
this is what gives us like
contentment this is what gives us peace
imagine if we don't have Islam that
tells you these people didn't die for
nothing these people didn't die in vain
it's not just bad luck
oh that's nature mother nature for you
and what can we do
live with it
suck it in
get over it imagine
when you don't have Allah when you don't
have Islam and something like this
happens you have no explanation at least
someone comes and tells you these people
will be handsomely rewarded
not only them their families Allah knows
the one who dies like that their family
will suffer they suffered before they
died and they will suffer after their
death so they get to take 70 people with
their family to Jannah
subhanallah
this is something that will make us sit
down and say like okay I can die in any
moment
two days ago
I sat down with the parents of our young
sister
you know that passed away at a young age
she came home to have Thanksgiving
time she was you know in Southern
California
students she came she went to sleep last
one who she spoke to was her father 21
years old she loved her father her
father loved her he has four daughters
this is the youngest one
the first one who woke her up in the
morning her father
but he woke her up to find her passed
away already
you don't have to be in Turkey you don't
have to be in Syria you can die today
what have you prepared
you think you're young
a year ago
I went and sat down with our beautiful
young brother it was like two years by
now
Young Brother Muhammad 14 years old
he had leukemia when he was nine and
healed from it and it came back at age
14. and he was dying and I was sitting
down with him and he was letting out his
heart to me young boy 14 what do you
know about life you barely hit puberty
he hits puberty while in pain and
suffering
brothers and sisters there is nothing
we're not safe you know only a fool
person feels that oh I'm safe I'm strong
I'm gonna live only a full person things
like that so you always cover yourself
you always get your bases covered you
never gamble with your life you never
gamble with your eternity you never
gamble with your
like yourself
you're always ready to meet Allah any
day and that's very simple especially
for our youth what does Allah ask of you
not much pray five times a day say
alhamdulillah do your best
stay away from
Bad Company If you can stay away from
Bad websites if you can do your best
Allah just like to see you doing your
best what is Allah asking with you he's
not asking you to move mountains
be ready
says if you think this is big
the first Ayah in Surah we're about to
have Ramadan followed by you first
oh you mankind fear your lord be God
fearing be ready
truly the quick the earthquake of the
hour of the day of judgment is a great
thing great whatever you what you see
now forget that this is 7.8 7.9 do 20.9
try 30.9
imagine
Allah when he resurrects the mother who
used to be breastfeeding her baby right
that day the mother will drop the baby
and run
the one that is pregnant with a baby she
will have a miscarriage
and you see people drunken like drunk
they're not drunk they're not drunk but
the cells that are shook them so much
that they've looked like a drunk because
it's huge
foreign
the people are feeling the punishment
they're feeling the earthquake of the
day of judgment the only thing that will
save you from the horrors of the day of
judgment is your Iman your taqwa
your shahada
the thing that you're paying attention
to the least
what what prevents what happened in
Turkey to happen to us here in
California nothing
we're waiting we're waiting we're
literally waiting for it to happen the
big one the big one the big one 9.9 9.8
imagine
so alhamdulillah whatever Allah wins if
Allah wins for us to live a hundred
years we will live if Allah Wills for us
to die tomorrow we will die that's not
the issue we don't think about that we
think what am I doing today right now
today's
sisters I invite myself first and
foremost to declare our tawba to Allah
we ask your forgiveness
we ask you for your mercy and
forgiveness and supper and we ask you
for assistance to our brothers and
sisters in turkey and in Syria I mean
foreign
warns us
he said
the hour will not come
the end of the world will not come
until Elm is lifted how when the ulama
are gone the Alum is gone
inshallah we never witness that
alhamdulillah still there is good ulama
in this ummah you know having in our
ummah people don't know the value of
ulama oh he's a Sheikh we make fun of
the Messiah we make fun of the imams in
the shoe location
and you you don't know that maybe Allah
is saving you because of that Adam in
that town
literally Allah azzawajal says
rasulullah says the hour will not come
until knowledge will be lifted with the
lifting of the ulama
number two items
and earthquakes become more frequent
number two
and number three
becomes so short Monday it's Sunday it's
Monday again it's Monday again it's
Monday again
foreign
the days the weeks become days the
months become weeks the years become
months
and number four
and killing increases civil war Civil
War civil war Civil War people killing
one another the prophet sallallahu said
the one who's killing doesn't know why
he's killing
and the one who's killed doesn't know
why he got killed
just get angry get up and kill someone
paint someone to kill someone to make
Civil War to make problem playing with
the politics of the world
subhanallah
this is not rasulullah warned us from
that so that we know how to reverse that
when our communities invest in dawlama
when our communities invest in having
more and you make them independent
not under the rahma of the others
independent their word is independent
subhanallah how the Catholic Community
figured out that obviously
we don't have to copy them the Jewish
Community figured that out the Muslim
Community of us if you become a sheath
or an Imam there is a death sentence
there is a cross an ex-mark on your back
you don't deserve to live a good life
you deserve to suffer
subhanallah
but alhamdulillah
any things are getting better
alhamdulillah I don't like the Doom and
Gloom but the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam showed us that the presence of
the ulama delays the day of judgment
and what else delays the day of judgment
as I made the not long ago
if every Muslim sits down says please Ya
Allah forgive me please Ya Allah forgive
my shortcomings please I don't mean it I
am weak please yeah Allah help me when
Allah sees us like that
you know everyone is talking talking
talking don't believe the Hadith don't
believe the prophet don't listen to The
Prophet listen to me the Quran the Quran
is not there they want you to fit now
after fit now until you lose your faith
subhanallah we can counter all of them
people don't know that Allah gave us the
power of Dua Dua but the prophet
sallallahu says
the only thing that stops
the only thing that stops other from
coming is Dua
on an individual level on an Uma level
on Humanity level like you say you wake
up in the morning Allah please help me
today prevent anything bad from
happening to me bring me all the
goodness your Dua is going up maybe that
day you're supposed to have an accident
your Dua fights to the day of judgment
and the accident never happens
if
the day of judgment will not happen to
planet Earth as long as there is one
person says
Allah will not let that day of judgment
happen as long as one person
the Muslim ummah presence on the global
scene the world is benefiting from our
presence
and we should benefit from our Deen and
Iman we should declare our tawba do our
best you don't change overnight suddenly
unless Allah gives you masha'allah
extremely dire but you do your best we
can change history this is not the end
of the world this is not the Doom and
Gloom Allah gave us Muslims a way we can
change
why because who who sends other down
Allah who answers the Dua Allah who can
stop the qadar from happening because of
Dua Allah it's all in the hands of Allah
we literally can make our destiny with
our Dua
so may Allah guide us to the my dear
brother sisters I'm gonna make Dua for
our brothers and sisters in turkey and
Syria and you know in Syria masha'allah
turkey is a developed country
but this thing will bring any major
power to its knees but imagine also
brothers and sisters in Northern Syria

know have a lot of me I want to make Dua

Allah on our brothers and sisters in
turkey and Syria insha Allah and after
