In this world, we share nothing equally. Neither wealth nor fame nor children nor status

0:48.0

everybody has a different share. But there is one thing that we all share 100% equally

0:54.6

the same. And that is the reality of death. No person amongst us has any more or less

1:01.9

we have the same share of death. Everybody that is walking on the face of this earth

1:11.3

is going to one day disappear. Every soul shall taste death. And it is this inevitability

1:22.4

that no human being can deny. In their arrogance, atheists even deny God. And this is just

1:29.2

a verbal denial. Their words don't change the reality. Allah is there and Allah is al-Hak.

2:33.8

Allah says in the Quran that the Quraysh used to say, in here, Allah hayatunat dunya, namutu

2:39.2

anahiyah, we have one life, we live and we die. That's it. Wama yuhliquna ila

2:44.4

dahar, time's going to destroy all of us. Nobody will remain. But for us, dear brothers

2:49.4

and sisters, death is not the end. It is the beginning of the real life. Death is the
