Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Alhamdulillah wa Salatu wa Salamu Ala Rasulillahir Rahmatullahi wa Ala Ali wa Ashabihe A'jmahin

We praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam

His household, his companions we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless them, to bless every one of us and to grant us goodness, to deliver us from all evil, to protect us from all sickness and illness

My brothers and sisters, if you were on your deathbed right now and you had children or grandchildren or one day when you will be on your deathbed and perhaps you may have a family, children, grandchildren and so on, what do you think you would do?

If you knew that now is the time when perhaps I may not make it, we obviously know death and life is in the hands of Allah, what would you do? What do you think you would do?

I've asked this question to a few of those I know and they've given me an answer that perhaps they later realized could have been modified.

What was the answer? The answer is well I would make sure that I have got my will done, very good. Your will done, well done, Mashallah.

And then they say I make sure that I have everything in order, they know where is what and what is where, where I want to be buried, how I want to be bathed and shrouded and so on and this detail and that detail? Excellent.

No, insura to the bakara, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala tells us something very interesting because he wants us to learn from it.

Amkutum shuhada, if how do I write a Qub al Ma'ud or were you present when death came to the Prophet Jacob, Yusuf al Ya Qub alaihi s-salatu wa s-salam?

Yes, he was there so Allah is narrating because he's telling us we want to tell you what happened at the time of his death when he was about to die on his deathbed.

If qala libani ima ta'buduna min bardi, amazing, he had his children around him and he asked them one simple question.

And the man is about to leave, he's about to go, he says what will you worship after me? What is it that you are going to believe in after me?

Which Lord will you worship after me? They said qaluna abudu ilaha qa wa ilaha aabaaik, we will worship the Lord that you have worshipped and your forefathers have worshipped.

And the one and only the maker, the creator, etc etc. One and only.

Now the reason I started this way is because my brothers, my sisters in our lives, many of us we know that living this life is a struggle.

And if I were to ask you how things, first thing you would say in this country, shukar, right or wrong.

No matter what you're going through, people would say shukar, someone would say al handa lillah, even if you're struggling, that's a good answer for a motmin.
