As soon as you die the soul begins to experience the Barzakh world
Sometimes you are sleeping and you do not even know that you are sleeping
In this temporary world a person is able to find out if they're going to heaven or hell
Most people want to find out when their last day is so that they can party it up and then when it's time for them to die they can repent, but he wanted to find out when his last day was for his aspirations for calling people to Islam
He wanted to adjust his goals accordingly
So he tells Jibreel (AS) to find out for him
Jibreel AS is the only one that can take a prophet to the heavens and then bring him down
He meets the angel of death in the fourth heaven
Idriss AS is the only man that ever died in the heavens
Any problem that you have who do you call out to First?
Allah SWT
Supplication is the ingredient of inner peace
Parts of the gift of Allah is that he keeps us in need
When you are in need you turn to your maker
There is so much to talk about but my time is excessively Limited
Paradise is beautiful and everything in Paradise is beautiful
In Paradise everybody will have the perfect age of 33 years Young
Correct belief should be based on what is proven in the Qur’an and Sunnah, as understood by the early generations (salaf) of this ummah, namely the Sahaabah, Taabi‘een and leading scholars. They were unanimously agreed that the divine attributes mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah are to be affirmed without discussing how or likening Him to His creation, and without denying any of His attributes or interpreting them in a way different from the apparent meaning. We do not differentiate between any of the divine attributes, no matter what category they come under. Every divine attribute that is mentioned in a saheeh text must be affirmed.
One of the confirmed attributes of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, is the foot.
The evidence for that is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (6661) and Muslim (2848) from Anas ibn Maalik, according to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Hell will keep saying, ‘Are there any more (to come)?’ until the Lord of Glory, may He be blessed and exalted, places His foot on it, then it will say, ‘Enough, enough, by Your glory!’ And all its parts will be integrated together.
Al-Bukhaari (4850) and Muslim (2847) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Hell and Paradise disputed, and Hell said: ‘I have been favoured with the arrogant and proud.’ Paradise said: ‘What is the matter with me, that no one will enter me except the weak, humble and downtrodden?’ Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, said to Paradise: ‘You are My mercy by which I will show mercy to whomsoever I will of My slaves.’ And He said to Hell: ‘You are My punishment with which I will punish whomsoever I will of My slaves. And each of you will be full.’ As for Hell, it will not be full until Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, places His foot on it and it says, ‘Enough, enough.’ Then it will be full and all its parts will be integrated together, and Allah will not treat any of His creation unjustly. As for Paradise, Allah will create a creation just for it.”
This indicates that it is confirmed that Allah, may He be exalted, has a foot
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Kursiy (foot stool) is the place of the two feet, and the size of Throne cannot be known.”
These two reports confirm that Allah, may He be exalted, has two feet, and this is the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah.
Imam Abu ‘Ubayd al-Qaasim ibn Salaam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: These hadeeths which say that our Lord smiles at the despair of His slaves when things will soon change, and that Hell will not be filled until your Lord places His foot on it, and that the Kursiy is the place for the two feet – these hadeeths, as narrated, are true in our opinion; they were narrated from trustworthy narrators to other trustworthy narrators. But if we are asked about their meaning, we do not explain them, and we have never seen any scholar discuss their meanings.
In Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (2/376) it says: What we must do is affirm that which Allah has affirmed for Himself, such as two hands, two feet, fingers and other attributes that are mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah, in a manner that is befitting to Allah, may He be glorified, without distorting the meaning, discussing how, likening Him to His creation or denying any of His attributes, because He, may He be glorified, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allah, (the) One.

You have in the United States and the communities around the world certain things that are considered consensus

The same knowledge which is supposed to be a means of humility turns into a means of pride, a way of earning money

Most of the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him is not mentioned in the books Hadith it is mentioned in the books of his companions
The standard of authencity for those books are one degree less
Our religion is based on these seven or eight famous books of the companions of prophet Muhammad
The books of Seerah are one level less than these in authenticity
When the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was still young he had not yet reached puberty so he was maybe around 11 or 12 Abu Talib took him to Syria
According to the books in Tirmidhi it said along with Abu Bakr and Bilal
On their way to Syria they passed by a monastery
A monk used to live here in this Monastery and he will never give them the time of day
His name was Muhayra
This time when they were with the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him Muhayra he came out searching for them
And he greeted them and he invited them all back to his house for a feast
When they ask him why are you doing this he replied you will have a boy with you that will one day become a prophet
He said that I saw the clouds shelter him and I also saw the trees shelter him and that the stones prostrated to him
While they were sitting there eating the Feast they saw seven Roman soldiers
The soldiers are allegedly trying to find the prophet who is to come so they can capture him and kill him
Muhayra hid them and told the soldiers an excuse and they went away
Muhayra then told Abu Talib to immediately return back to Mecca
This story has many flaws and it is not from credible sources
This is the Hallmark of academic you don't just believe everything you hear

Even if the story is true it does not make any sense
Throughout history there have been people who just want to fabricate
We don't need to exaggerate our Prophet Muhammad is the best Human being and what we know about him will tell us that
We give our religion a bad name people look at this religion they say what is this what kind of religion is this we don't need to do this Allah told us what we need to do
That story appears to be weak because it does not make sense
Learning the Arabic language is essential, it is the key to the house
Every educated Indian person learned Persian
It is very important to learn more than one language
No one can know all of Arabic except for a prophet, because it is too vast as a language
English now has become the dominant language
Wherever Islam goes Arabic Goes with it
English is the dominant language because it is the dominant culture
English is a hegemonic culture
Arabic is going to be a dad language if things continue as they are
It will become like Latin, because it is a very difficult language to master
Ebonics is a very very rich cultural language of African Americans

The word algorithm is based on an Islamic name
Universities is also an invention made possible in the Muslim world
The concept of institutes that grants certificate of completion or degrees spread into Europe through Muslim Spain
To admit the sin, to regret having done it, to ask for forgiveness, and to make an intention to never do it again
If those four conditions are met then the sin that you have committed is wiped out, and if you do the sin again and you repent then you will be repenting from a different sin
So what it does is it elevates your status before Allah
When you ask for forgiveness from Allah you have to plan to never do that sin again, that is a condition for the repentance
Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah
Rush towards the Forgiveness of Allah
Don't delay, if you delay then you have no guarantee that you would die on Islam
Part of the mercy of Allah is that he did not tell us when we are going to die
Rushing towards the forgiveness of Allah is also rushing towards Paradise
