Summary

Born To Die - a talk by Sheikh Yasir Qadhi. It's a frightening title isn't it? But there really is nothing to be frightened about. Certainly not once you've listened and absorbed the information imparted to you. Despite what the movies portray, there is no immortality on this Earth. All that breathes must leave but what you need to know and then constantly be in  a state of  remembrance is that YOU are in control of what you leave behind - family, deeds, legacies. Do you plan to leave an everlasting legacy like that of Imam Bukhari whose writings are referenced daily till today? Imagine for a moment that you are leaving behind a legacy that continues, in fact persists in reaping rewards for you even after you've left this earthly abode. Wouldn't that be fantastic? Then comes the next question-are we required in Islam to leave legacies? If yes, then what types of legacies do we leave? The answers, explanations and proof to support all this and more is addressed by Sheikh Yasir Qadhi in this profound talk Born To Die.
