In the way that today we are, where we are, we've taken the goodness from them. They indeed deserve our prayer for blessings.

May Allah bless them, bless everyone of us, bless our offspring, those to come up to the end.

May Allah grant us all every form of goodness.

My brothers and sisters, you and I know that we were created by a creator.

And you and I know that life will not last forever.

You and I know that we are going to die one day. Whether we like to talk about it or not, it's a reality that's definitely going to come.

It's going to happen. You know you're going to go and you don't know when.

I know I'm going to go. I don't know when. Now, when I came onto the earth, it's something amazing and unique, just like when you came onto the earth.

How is the labour going to be? But guess what? Because you know of so many others who've gone through it, you know within yourself, I'm going to cope. I'm going to manage.

Some keep on thinking, I can't do it. If you keep on thinking you cannot do it, you will still do it. But you're going to struggle because you didn't have that faith.

You didn't have that conviction. We who believe, we know that's the plan of Allah, Allah will help you. Allah has chosen that way and that path.
