Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

َِّ ‫ِنَّ َعاقِبَتِنَاَّفِيَّ ْاْل ُ ُم‬

‫ورَّ ُك ِل َها‬ َّْ ‫اللَّ ُه ََّّمَّأ َ ْحس‬
“O Allah! Grant us a good end in all of our affairs” [Hadith]. We ask that our end
is good in every deed. May we have a good ending especially when we pass away from this
world, as the biggest test will be there. They say the biggest shock is there. The biggest
shock for people is the time while passing away from this world.

This is something informed by our Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and by all Prophets. Shukr to
Allah ‫ﷻ‬, Mu’mins believe in it. We believe in it, Shukr to Allah ‫ﷻ‬. To those who do not
believe, it is an even bigger shock because they say there is nothing. They say, “I do
everything according to my own mind. I don’t believe in anyone. I don’t believe anything
anyone says. I don’t accept what anyone says. I live this way. I will die, and it will be
over”. No, there is nothing like this.

We ask that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives us good knowledge. There are many things
in worldly knowledge that show and prove the existence of Akhirah. Our people are
studying in vain. They are studying only to obtain diploma. And they don’t care about the
rest except to get a job.

There is a trend now not to hire those who do not have a university diploma. Even
though uneducated ones are a thousand times more skilled than educated ones, they still
don’t hire them. We’ve got past that. In Europe and America, which they take as an
example in only obtaining diplomas, they hire people more for their skills rather than their
diploma. They don’t look at diplomas. But our people are not like that.

That is not an important matter. What’s important is what do these people who
have diplomas in Europe and America do? They deal with useless work. Like what? - Our
people don’t deal with such useless work. 90% of our educated people do not accept the
religion and do not like it. Whereas, European and American people deal with strange
things. What kind of things?
 Our Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬says when a person dies, his soul comes out, but some of it
remains in his body. It can hear. It hears and knows who comes and goes, who cries. But
it cannot do anything. Moreover, when you wash the body, it says the water is too hot. If
it’s cold, it gets cold. There is even this.

Why are we telling this? As we said, even these people who obtained their diploma
in the world of Kufr that we dislike, looked into the moment of dying by using some
electronic tools. They recorded the exact moment of dying through brain waves. It shows
all the activity in the brain at that moment. And a very big shock is going on then making
lines go up and down. While going straight, it goes to the highest [point] at that time. It is
shown there. Then, it goes on too, but returns to its old state.

They say that mankind goes through a very big shock while passing away from this
world. He is not shocked without a reason. Especially, it is a shock for those who don’t
believe. They enter a state they cannot return from. The things they did in this world can
either help them or not.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives physical proof to people to show that there is Akhirah.
There is life after this. People must know this. Because as we said, those who study here
change their minds beforehand and say there is nothing. Whereas after that shock, it still
goes on. May Allah ‫ ﷻ‬protect us. May we not be shocked. May Allah ‫ ﷻ‬not let us lose our
Iman. May He ‫ ﷻ‬give strength to our Iman. May He ‫ ﷻ‬give guidance to people. And may
those who study do so in order to know Allah ‫ ﷻ‬insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
