The reality of a Man

 Have you ever seen a small baby when it’s born? You were all there or should we say we were all there once upon a time. You see the baby how much its need of assistance it is totally dependent on other people. And this is how Allah creates a person why because he wants him to remember his origins. He can’t turn by himself, he wets his nappy, he does number two in his nappy and he can’t clean himself until his mother comes and takes that nappy off. He wants to drink he’s hungry and he can’t move or drink until his mother feeds him. And after a while that same little baby becomes older and older and then he starts thinking that he’s something special. And then he forgets his origins and he starts to think that he is it, he is the man. Forgetting his origins and the older that he gets, the more independent that he regards himself and when he starts going to the gym and pumping some iron and he starts taking horse growth hormones so he bloats. After a while he thinks that he is something really special. And comes somewhere day like this you won’t find him here, he’s on the street with a t-shirt on. And then a time comes that, that very same person becomes old. And he becomes bent-backed if he reaches that age and he walks with a stick and when he wakes up in the morning all his bones hurt, all those bones hurt and then a time comes that he becomes ill,sick. And he can’t move without assistance again why because Allah made him dependent then Allah made him independent and then an age came that Allah made him dependent again. And then he lies upon his bed. And he can’t move and Malik ul Mawt(Angle of Death) is sitting upon his head. And it is waiting to take out his Rouh, his soul. It’s waiting, he sees it nobody around him sees it and he sees the reality. But the reality is that everybody here me, you and the millions who came before us, came and they left this dunya.

If you go in to the graveyard and this is why the prophet (PBUH) said that you should go to the graveyard and you should visit the graveyard because it reminds you of death. Look at the tombstones it will say 1835, 1825. It shows that these people spent more time in the grave under the grave, under the earth than upon it. And then a time comes, he’s lying in his bed and he sees Malik Ul Mawt (Angle of Death) and if Allah gives him if he’s been a good person in his life Allah gives him the Taufique (Success) to recite the kalimah and if not then he leaves this dunya and that very same person now the give him a bath because he can’t bathe himself anymore. The water shouldn’t be too hot or nor should it be too cold because he feels it. And then that person, imagine it because it’s going to happen to every single one of us. That sometimes we get to deluded with this dunya we forget. A time comes they dig a ditch six feet deep. And the put you in it and then they put the sand over you, And you are all by yourself, imagine it because it’s going to happen to every single person. And then the only thing which will remain with you in that grave is your good actions the only thing, your muscles, your money, your car, your house, your friends, your children, everything will remain behind and the prophet (SAW)said only one thing will remain him and that is his good actions and if you have good actions they will save you and the prophet(SAW) said that the grave is a garden from the gardens of Jannah.

When a person is placed in grave the grave says to that person out of all the people walking on the face this earth, you were the most beloved to me and now you have come to me you will see how I deal with you. How I encounter you and it opens as far as the eyes can see and windows into Jannah open. And then there will be the other person who lived his life because you either go to Jannah or your either go to Jahanam. Who had lived his life but he did whatever he wanted he womanized, he wined and dined and actually believed that he’s going to kick fifty and when he kicks fifty he’s going to grow a beard and do hajj and go to the masjid. But there is no guarantee, there is no guarantee. And he is put his grave all by himself. Nobody with him. And the grave will say to him out all the people walking on the face of this earth you were the most despised in my eyes, you were the most despicable in my eyes. And then the prophet(SAW) said it will squeeze him. And then the prophet(SAW) thrusted his fingers in one to the other and he said his ribs will go into each other like this is how it will squeeze. And the only thing, the only thing which will suffice and safeguard you on that day is your good action. And the Prophet (SAW) said that a person now you look at we become independent and we think we are something special when the Prophet (SAW) said when man will be brought in front of Allah (SWT) he will be like a Buzage, you know what buzage is? Have you ever seen a calf when it’s born.  And it tries to stand up and it falls down again and then it stands up and it falls down again.

The Prophet (SAW) said when man will come in front of Allah (SWT) on the day of Judgment to give account for his actions, he will like a buzage, his legs won’t be able to hold him, he will try to stand and he will drop. And then he will stand again and he will drop, like a little calf and he will do this and he will do it again and again. Really look how often we delude ourselves, believing that we are something special. But on that day every man will know how special he is. The biggest gangsters, the biggest drug dealers, the biggest macho men, the bouncers will know their reality he will see his actions on the day of judgment and he will cry. He will cry until his tears dry up, tears dry up and he will have no tears left and then the Prophet (SWS) said he will still cry but he will cry tears of blood. When he will see the reality and this is why the Prophet (SWS) defined is as what? Yawmul Hasra a day where man will have remorse, he will have remorse why didn’t I spend my life in the worship of Allah (SWT).
