    Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “When the human being dies, his deeds end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1631 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ إِلَّا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ In Riyaad us Saliheen Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)." [Muslim]. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث‏:‏ صدقة جارية ،أو علم ينتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ How to Benefit the Deceased in the AfterlifeThe Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except three:Sadaqah jaariyah (ongoing charity, e.g. endowment)Beneficial knowledge (which he has left behind and others benefit from it)A righteous child who will pray for him.”(Reported by al-Tirmidhi, no 1376; he said this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth) Supplication - DuaBased on this, the most important thing that the living can do for the dead is supplicate for them. Ask for forgiveness and mercy for them, and for paradise and salvation from the hell fire. Prayers for forgiveness offered by both sons and daughters of the deceased bring great benefits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A man’s status will be raised in Paradise and he will ask, ‘How did I get here?’ He will be told, ‘By your son’s du’aa’s (prayers) for forgiveness for you.” (Reported by Ibn Maajah, no 3660; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1617) CharityAnother thing that may reach the deceased is sadaqah (charity) given on his/her behalf, because ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “My mother has passed away, and if she could have spoken, she would have given something in charity. Will she receive a reward if I give something on her behalf?” He said, “Yes.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, 1388) Hajj, Umrah, or FastingOther deeds that may also benefit the deceased are Hajj and ‘Umrah on their behalf, provided the living person has first performed Hajj and ‘Umrah on his or her own behalf already. Adullaah ibn Buraydah reported that his father (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), a woman came to him and said: ‘I gave my mother a slave-woman in charity, and now my mother has died.’ He said: ‘You have got your reward, and your right of inheritance has brought your gift back to you.’ She said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, she still had one month to fast – can I fast it on her behalf?’ He said, ‘Fast it on her behalf.’ She said, ‘She never went to Hajj – can I perform Hajj on her behalf?’ He said, ‘Perform Hajj on her behalf.’” (Reported by Muslim, may Allaah have mercy on him, in his Saheeh, no. 1149)This shows that it is also permissible to fast on behalf of the deceased. Fulfill Vows of the DeceasedIbn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “My mother made a vow to perform Hajj but she died before she could do it. Can I perform Hajj on her behalf?” He said, “Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf. Don’t you think that if your mother owed a debt you would pay it off?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “Then pay off what is owed to Allah,

He and a couple of others who I truly appreciate because of the very good questions they ask.

    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions, and on many, many others. My brothers and sisters, one of the most important hadiths, teachings of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is the hadith which you hear in almost every Jum'ah khutbah, which is, إِنَّ أَزْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَقَيْرُ الْحَدِيثِ هَذِي مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ لِهِ وَسَيُّ سَلَّمُ وَشَرُّ الْأُمُورِ مُهْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُهْدَثَةٍ بِدَاعَ وَكُلَّ بِدَاعَةٍ وَلَالَ وَكُلَّ ضَلَاظَةٍ فِي النَّارِ The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is reported to have said that the most truthful speech is the speech of Allah, which is the Kitab of Allah, the Holy Qur'an. And the best guidance is the guidance of his Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions. And then he said all corruption and all evil comes from innovations, comes from new things which are introduced into the religion. And he said, كُلَّ مُهْدَثَةٍ بِدَاعَ He said all of these things which are introduced, all of these are bida'at, all of these are innovations. كُلَّ بِدَاعَةٍ ضَلَاظَةٍ فِي النَّارِ All innovation is misguidance. وَكُلَّ ضَلَاظَةٍ فِي النَّارِ And all misguidance is in the hellfire. The reason I'm saying this is because we have to first of all remind ourselves from time to time. It is very important. Allah said the reminder is beneficial for the believers. So we need to remind ourselves. innovations especially in our deen, they come from the knowledge of Allah. For deen, they come in one or two places. One is in weddings, in nikah. We have a simple beautiful system, but people don't like simple beautiful systems. They want to create their own embellishments on those systems. The other place is connected with death. Connected with death. Now our system in Islam is that when a person dies, this person is, the body is bathed. And I won't go into all the details as well. You know what they are and we will do a seminar on that, InshaAllah. So body is bathed. It is wrapped in a shroud in the kafay. Then we pray Salatul Janaza on it, which is the dua of forgiveness. We seek forgiveness for the person who passed away. And then we take him to the cemetery and we place them in the grave. We put some kind of, you know, a piece of wood or something like this to prevent the soil from falling directly on the face. But then we, without a box, without a coffin, without anything, just the cloth, we bury that person. Nowadays they are calling it a green burial. Go look it up. Go look it up, green burial in Google. You will see what they are saying. So somebody sent me this thing. See what a beautiful thing. The body, the body goes back to the earth. I said we have been doing this for the last 1400 years. So don't tell me about it. This is the Islamic method. So when you go there to the graveyard, you do that. You cover up the grave and you go home. But what we do is on the, on the body itself, before Salatul Janaza itself, people put flowers. They put sheets of flowers. Right? And then when they carry the body to the grave, they are chanting something or the other. SubhanAllahi walhamdulillahi wala ila ila ila Allah wa Allah wa al-Ghwar. SubhanAllahi walhamdulillahi wala ila ila ila ila ila as this kind of song. And then when they put the body in the grave, then they will recite Quran. They will recite ayat from Suratul Baqarah. They will recite ayat from Suratul Hashar and so on and so forth. And they will recite Quran and they will stand on this side and recite Quran and on the other side and recite Quran. And it doesn't end with that. Then what do they do? Then on,

  • I want to be an Imam

    I want to be an Imam
    Jul 12 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I remind myself that this is also a, or even first I remind it to myself, which is first of all, anyone who wants to be an Imam, and by Imam I mean Imam for one salah, for tarawi, Imam of the masjid, somebody wants to become a khatib, wants to give khutbah, and so forth. So I'm including all of that in this word, Imam. So anyone who wants to be an Imam must beware of what Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam wants. And said, if anyone wants to be an Imam, don't give him Imam. If someone wants to be an Imam, do not make him the Imam. Now this advice itself is so completely contrary to our current understanding of leadership. Because our current understanding of leadership is that a person should want to be a leader, a person should then start making efforts. First to become a leader, a person should, you know, canvas for votes, a person should make speeches, he must, he or she must become popular with people, and they must try and somehow force people nicely or otherwise to vote for them and so on. Now again, please understand this, I'm not talking here about developing leadership qualities. This is very important. This is absolutely critically important. Everyone must do that. Learn how to, you know, develop leadership qualities. But wanting to actually become a leader, that's a different thing altogether. You might say, if I develop leadership qualities, then you are saying, don't become a leader or don't want, don't have this desire to become a leader. Then what is the point of having leadership qualities? You know, you might have this question. My submission is that. Developing leadership qualities and wanting to lead people are, I won't say they are contradictory things, but they are definitely not the same thing. They are definitely not something which is, you know, necessarily a progression. Leadership qualities means the simplest and the most important leadership quality is to take responsibility for your own life. So who is a leader? A leader is not somebody who has 5,000 followers or 50,000 followers. A leader is not a head of state. A leader is not a CEO of a company. A leader, in all of these positions, for example, CEOs of companies, heads of state, you have people with very poor leadership qualities. They get there one way or the other. One of the most common and easiest ways in which people become CEOs of companies is because their father was the CEO of the company. Their father is the owner of the company. In family businesses or in businesses where there's a, you know, somebody has a major shareholding, they're usually sons, but sometimes daughters. They automatically become members of the board. They automatically become, you know, CEOs of the company. And with disastrous results, with absolutely disastrous results because they are lousy leaders. They do not have the leadership quality in them. They've never developed those qualities. They are highly entitled. They are people who you just expect people to obey them just because they have the same surname as the owner and so forth. So that position has nothing to do with leadership qualities. I have known ordinary workers who are the most tremendous leaders in terms of their leadership qualities that I've ever encountered in my life. My plantation career in Guyana in South America and in the mining industry, which I worked in. I've seen people, people who have, in many cases, they have literally zero formal education. I mean, forget about getting MBAs or whatnot. MBA is the biggest con job in the world. They have no formal education. I mean, some of them never even went to school. But amazing leadership qualities, meaning people who have confidence, people who take responsibility for themselves and for those around them, people who are willing to invest in themselves. Invest themselves into the lives of other people, help them,

  • Marriage, key questions and answers

    Marriage, key questions and answers
    Jul 11 2025
    https://youtu.be/ffhy1tIhsZ0 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him many glories. And after him, my dear brother Umar, may Allah bless you. Umar is one of those who asks good questions and I, that is one of the reasons I love him. I love him for many other reasons. May Allah bless him, he is doing medicine now. And we hope Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala puts shifa in his hand, inshaAllah. And that he is able to help people all around the world. And Umar asked me two questions, as I said, he asked both questions. The first question he asked me was, in terms of marriage, how do you deal with marital conflict? You have a problem with your wife. I have a problem with my husband. What do you do? How do you deal with marital conflict? And the second question he asked was, what is the role of parents in a marital conflict? If there is a conflict, do the parents have a role? Should they have a role? And so on. What is the role of parents? Now, my answer is this, very simple. First and foremost, choose your conflicts. And the criterion of choice is, ask yourself, which is more important, the marriage or the conflict? And do it likewise. The problem happens because people pick the wrong fights. And they get themselves into a situation where even if you win the fight, you ask yourself, what did I really get? And you got nothing. You got nothing. In the process, you could have... You really put yourself in a situation where you would have destroyed or you had a good chance of destroying a perfectly good relationship. Now, that is a very stupid thing to do. That's a very stupid way of leading your life. So pick the conflict. And the second thing, as I already mentioned, is ask yourself, what is more important, the conflict, meaning winning the conflict, winning the argument or retaining the relationship? Sometimes it is a... You have to make the choice. And walking away from an argument is the best thing that you can do. Rasulullah mentioned in my hadith, he said that, I will guarantee a place in Jannah for the person who walks away from the argument, meaning he gives in even when he is right. So the question is, how much more important, because this hadith relates to a general situation, people situation, you and me situation, not necessarily a marriage situation. So if that is being said about this general situation, how much more important it is with regard to marriage? So ask yourself, is it worth arguing? And if it's not worth arguing, then don't argue. Leave it. Let your wife or your husband do whatever they want to do. Nothing is going to happen if they win the argument, if they do what they are doing, and you walk away from there. And I walk away, I don't mean make actually, you know, sort of stage a walkout. I mean just, just give in and say, okay, alhamdulillah, good for you. Do that. No problem. Leave it. Don't make a fuss. Don't sulk. You know, don't play these games. Because these games are, all of them without exception are destructive. Destructive to the relationship. So it's a very stupid thing to play games like that. So walk away and you will have a long and happy marriage. My principle with regard to my marriage is that as long as my wife does not want to do something which is against Islam, against the Sharia, I never say no. And alhamdulillah, I have a wife who will never do that. Her taqwa is better than mine, alhamdulillah. So she will never ask to do or want to do something which is against the Quran and Sunnah, against the Sharia. She is very particular about those things. So I have nothing to worry about. So I just say, yes, whatever you want to do, just do it. The bank book is in her hand. She is a co-signatory of the bank. I almost never go. She does the banking. My principle is very simple.

    Jul 10 2025
    https://youtu.be/zTx5mgShXAE Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, I'm walking on Watch Hog Road in Summers, Connecticut. And one of my favorite walks, as a matter of fact, when we arrived here in September 2019, I think it was, if I'm not mistaken, the 23rd or 24th of September. Straight off the plane, I started this walk. I came here, I walked, and I'm not describing for you the route because most of you don't know the route. But for those of you who know that, I went down Watch Hog Road to the end, took a left all the way to Pease Road, up Pease Road. All the way to Hall Hill Road at the cemetery and then back to Hall Hill Road to my brother-in-law's place. And the whole thing was about eight miles. Didn't realize that, how far it was going to be. And I remember there was a guy who was mowing the sidewalk near his house on the way. And I asked him, how do I get back to where I need to be? He said, oh, wow, you are very far away from there. So I said, anyway, I still need to go. So I did. Now, this is a little brook that I have passed over many, many times on these walks. They seem to have done a great job with repairing it and repairing this little bridge here and so on. You can see the brook. Literally, this is the beauty of this place, that the water is literally good enough to drink. Stop by deep. This is maybe about three feet deep or so, at least at this point. Has some fish. Lots of this aquatic greenery and very beautiful scenery. I've been on this walk many, many times. I see many things here. I will show you here some signs of wealth as we go forward. There's a guy who owns most of the upper land here, and he's recently bought himself a plane. And he's built himself an airport, a whole landing strip with a hangar and everything. So anyone who's feeling very rich because you have a nice car, well, there are people who are, for them, a nice car is not something they even think about. The reason I'm saying that is because this is one of the biggest, most confusing, most confounding, most problematic parts of our life. And that is the question of sustenance. The question of rizq. Most of us, if not all of us, at some point in time, we are subject to anxiety about our rizq, about our... about our sustenance. Will I get it? Will I not get it? What happens? And then we have to deal with all that is happening on the global scale. Although having said that, people like to talk about how global markets are going up and down and what... For example, right now, the war in the Middle East, or the impending war, the war that just stopped and we are not sure is it a ceasefire or a complete cessation. It's a complete cessation. It's a cessation of hostilities. Is it a peace? Be that as it may, how will it affect what will happen if the Suez Canal is blocked and so on and so on? A lot of anxiety over this. We spend a lot of anxious hours over this. We spend a lot of time in, frankly, useless conversation because the people who are talking all this will not be affected one way or the other. Because even if the stock market crashes, the only people who are affected are the people who have... stocks. If you don't have any stocks, if you are a mom and pop shop, you're selling something, then somebody is buying those things from you. You are a farmer, you are a carpenter, you are a mason, you are a plumber, you are somebody with a trade. This is the beauty that people don't seem to understand. If you have a trade, if you have something that is saleable in terms of your efforts, then you are a farmer. You are a farmer. You are a mason. You are a plumber. You are a farmer. You are a shepherd in terms of your knowledge. No market crash can ever touch you. But people don't want to learn that. They think it's infradict. How can I be a plumber? So don't be a plumber. Stop. That's nicer for you. Right? Always be somebody else's slave. It's up to you. I mean, you can free yourself by learning a trade or you can be a slave all y...

  • Don’t let the correction be worse than the mistake

    Don’t let the correction be worse than the mistake
    Jul 9 2025
    https://youtu.be/IDIR-TMhmAY Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, one of the tendencies that seems to be predominant today is the tendency to correct others. People seem to walk around with this thing as if it's their duty and Allah has sent them to correct others. And no one to convincing will seems to work. We try to tell them, Allah sent us to correct ourselves, to improve ourselves, to make our own better, to learn and practice this deen ourselves. But we do not correct others. In this video, I have already said that let not your correction, meaning the way you correct people, let not your correction, let not the way you correct people be worse than the mistake. It is so surprising. It is so surprising to see how this is happening. This is so common, so common, where you find people over and over again. The way they correct somebody is so awful that people forget about what was said, and they get stuck on how it was said. But this is the tendency, one single word, one single letter. I've seen this happening so many times, where the Imam, for example, is reciting Quran and doing a beautiful job, and thanks to his recitation, you are in khudu, you are able to concentrate, you are able to focus in your salah, and the quality of your salah, alhamdulillah, is better than it would otherwise have been. Okay? And then when the salah is finished, somebody will say to the Imam that that particular ayah in that particular ayah, that particular word that you pronounced was wrong in this way. You know, some issue of tajweed. Now, tajweed is important, there's no doubt about that. But we also know the usool that as long as the mistake is not a major mistake, as long as it's not changing the meaning of the word, and as long as it's not a mistake in Surah al-Fatiha, it's not such a serious mistake. But you focus on that. And the fact of the rest of the recitation is gone from you. Anyone with any grace would have complimented the Khari on the beauty of the recitation, but no. We want to show that I know better, that I am, you know, more knowledgeable than you and so on and so on. May Allah have mercy. And many such examples of how people in their enthusiasm, their correction is worse than the level of the mistake. Let me give you a beautiful example of how correction should be done. Okay? Okay. Okay. So, there was a man in Madinah, an elderly man, who was doing wudu incorrectly. And the two sons of Sayyidina Ali , Hassan and Hussein , they saw this. So they went to the man and Sayyidina Hassan Ibn Ali . He was a very good man. He was a very good man. He was a very good man. He said to the man, he said, uncle, my brother and I are having some disagreement with regard to the way in which wudu should be done. So if you don't mind, we will both do wudu before you. If you can please look at us and see and tell us which one is doing the wudu correctly and which one is making a mistake. And both of them, one by one, they did wudu. And obviously both of them did it correctly. Okay. So, the man realized what was going on. He realized that this was about him, not about them. So he said to them when they finished, he said, you have both performed the wudu wallahi by Allah. Both of you performed the wudu beautifully and correctly. And it was I who was mistaken. And he said, I thank you for your wisdom and your gentleness in teaching me. It is myicing and my salutations to your like without the teachings and rumors and news of one from among themselves going against you. It is in the middle and very deep with all of the μ unanimously. So in Day終 están estas or notargent discuss about what will takes place. It was simple and simple and a long marriage. You tell your wife that you wanted something to give. Now you are like that father, like the moo of the mother who has learnt and your little brother who doesn't know the mother. Your mom doesn't know what he needs. You don't want his belly there.

    Advice to Tablighi brothers
    Jul 8 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:The purpose of Deen is to excel in it. Allah SWT said, Allah did not say to differentiate between who is doing evil and who is doing good. No. The question of evil does not arise. It says, in the good, who does the best? So it's very important for us, especially when we are out in the path of Allah SWT, to ensure that we do, whatever we do, to the absolute best of our ability. And obviously it goes without saying that if you want to do something to the best of your ability, then you have to know how to do it. It doesn't come by birth. It doesn't come by enthusiasm alone. Enthusiasm must never be confused for expertise. They're two different things. In battle, for example, you have an experienced warrior, soldier, you have a soldier, you have a soldier, you have a soldier, you've got an enthusiastic one. The enthusiastic one only dies faster. That's all. Right? Nothing else. He'll never win. There's no way that an enthusiastic soldier who does not have the experience is going to beat a true warrior. Enthusiasm means that he will only die faster. So also in Deen. It's very important for us to ensure that we learn. To give you a chance to learn. So we're going to give you one live example which happened just now. It is not a criticism of you. When you decide, when you narrate a hadith after the Salah, what is the correct way of doing that? You're holding a book in your hand. The first thing it starts from is to say, what are you holding in your hand? So stand up there and say, As-Salaam-Alaikum wa Rahmatullah. Because this is our way. We first greet people. As-Salaam. Qabar al-Khalaam. Say As-Salaam-Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. This is a hadith from Muntaqab-e-Hadith. And if it's a book which generally people may not know who is the author, say the name of the author. Yusuf Qandawi Rahmatullah Ali. If you're using Ayatul Salihin, you need not say it because we know who the author is. But if you're using a book which most people may not know, say the author. And then you say, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Then you say, Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wa Salatu wa Salamu Ala Sharifil Anbiya wal Mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasool Allahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Or some version of that. And then you come to the hadith. This is our way. This is not simply open the book, start the hadith. No. Salam.
