My brothers and sisters, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala created us and placed us on this earth.

One thing for certain is we're going to leave this earth. We came recently and very soon we're going to depart.

There is no need to actually panic about the day we're going to be departing,

but rather we're taught to prepare for the day we're going to meet with Allah.

Ya Ayuhal nathina amana uttaqullah wa l-ta'un ghornafsunma qaddamat li-ghodat

wa'ttaqullah ainna Allaha khabirun bi-matar maloon

O you who believe, develop the correct relationship with Allah

and each one of you should prepare for what you're going to be producing or presenting tomorrow.

What you're going to be giving to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, your book of good deeds for indeed Allah is all knowing of your deeds.

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala help us develop this beautiful relation.

So I have known of people who had lived before my time, who have died before I even came onto the earth.

They were more powerful than I am. They had much more in terms of wealth and so on on earth.

But when I came to the earth they were not here. We only heard about them.

The likes of the Pharaoh, the likes of Abu Jahal, the likes of so many others, even more recently SubhanAllah.

Then when I came onto the earth I found people already on earth.

They were so many, my parents, some of my siblings etc.

They were already here and then I came SubhanAllah.

The same applies to every one of us. SubhanAllah, here Abil Al-Alamin.

So I came and when I came I found people started leaving.

So there were some who were old who were leaving.

There were some who were young who were leaving.
