Shaykh Alauddin ElBakri
1 moment mention “Youth”:
- assalam alaykum and welcome back to the
- journey
- on as we yesterday discussed the
- resource of time that Allah subhana
- ta'ala blessed us with and inshallah
- today we will be elaborating on how to
- maximize the usage of our time that
- Allah has given us in this world and
- then how to prolong it even above and
- beyond so bismah now let's explore some
- ways that we can take advantage of our
- limited short time on this planet number
- one the prophet sallallahu alaih Al
- wasallam showed us how to make our time
- on planet Earth prolonged how can you
- prolong your life which is a concept
- that is very strange to people the
- people say my birthday is on this date
- my death day Allah decided it that's it
- you have to know that Destiny and time
- is in the hands of Allah if Allah Wills
- that you will live longer you will live
- longer because time is under the control
- of Allah how can we live
- longer and put a blessing in our times
- the prophet sallallahu alai
- said narrated in the bukari
- whosoever loves to see his risk
- expand and his time prolonged your
- lifetime prolonged let him be good to
- his kinship when was the last time you
- called your aunt your mom's sister kala
- when was the last time you called and
- checked on on your dad's sister Amma
- when was the last time you checked on
- your nieces and nephews when was the
- last time you practiced Al cuz another
- Hadith says that what prolongs life is
- Al how honorable have you been with your
- parents do you deal with them with B
- because that stuff prolongs your life
- Subhan Allah everyone wants to Li live
- longer everyone is looking for that
- thing that can make you live forever but
- the thing that will make you live longer
- from Islamic perspective
- is and you wishing well for other
- believers and other Muslims insh is
- there any
- strategies that we can use to maximize
- our time and to use our time wisely yes
- number one always have a schedule if you
- don't have a schedule your time will be
- wasted but you say but I don't have
- anything to fill the schedule that's
- exactly the point when you make a
- schedule you will discover how much time
- you have that you are not using WI
- number two what is the easiest way to
- gain hassat when time is passing the
- easiest way is subhah waala look how
- wasam taught us to do 33 times Subhan
- Allah 33 times alhamdulillah 33 times
- Allah you should have a system a word
- that you follow how long do you spend
- driving to work and coming back from
- work do you use that in do you use that
- to listen to the Quran do you use that
- to learn your dean and listen to a
- lecture there's so many ways you can use
- dead time otherwise in the pleasure of
- Allah subhana tala for the sake of Allah
- third one is to actually establish
- something
- called why
- because enables you to receive hassat
- and do good deeds after you die imagine
- Islam and Allah subhana tala opened for
- you the door to make more hassat after
- you die than you made hassat when you
- were alive and that's why I love Islam
- and I love the way it's
- structured is a residual charity that
- keeps on giving and giving and giving
- the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
- in many examples give us three examples
- number one that you raise a child that
- keeps on making prayers and supplication
- for you and keeps on doing Good Deeds
- that child you raise whether that child
- is yours or someone else Subhan Allah
- every time they do a good deed that they
- learn from you Allah will give you a
- copy of their hassat their Good Deeds
- number two you leave behind a knowledge
- that would benefit people so that they
- use it after you pass away you receive a
- copy of their hassat number three you
- give a this could be a residual char
- could be basically you built a well of
- water you built a school for Education
- you built a hospital for treatment you
- built a Masjid for prayers something
- that people will keep on using again and
- again and again and as long as they're
- using it you will be receiving hassat
- what a beautiful religion number four do
- not delay and
- procrastinate and do the good deed as
- soon as it comes to your mind time of
- Salah comes get up and pray you get a
- good idea I'm going to go to the Masjid
- and read some Quran get up and go to the
- Masjid it might be your last deed don't
- say I will do it tomorrow after tomorrow
- cuz what Allah tells us about the
- greatest regret that the human will have
- is at the moment of death when the angel
- of death comes to take the soul and he
- says oh Allah would you have just
- delayed me a little bit more can you
- give me some more time that's the wish
- of people who lived wasting their life
- and their time and not appreciating it
- my dear brothers and sisters to explain
- this point of not procrastinating and
- taking initiative the prophet sallallahu
- alaihi wasallam said in this genius
- Hadith take advantage of five before
- five things happen take advantage of
- your youth before you become old you can
- do much take advantage of your health
- before you can become sick and you
- cannot do much right take advantage when
- you have wealth and money and Obey Allah
- with that money before maybe the money
- is gone take advantage of your available
- time before you become busy and take
- advantage of Your Life Before Dying
- Subhan Allah what a wise statement
- sallallah alaihi wasallam take take
- initiative and start acting quickly
- because one of the most beautiful
- sayings is that time is like a sword if
- you don't cut with it it will cut you so
- let's use our time in the wisest
- way
