  • Auto-generated transcript:Now let me begin my khatira. The khatira today, the title is focus. And focus is important because without focus, there is no destination to reach. Without focus, if you are in a shooting competition, you cannot shoot because you have no focus. You can have the best weapon in the world, you can have the best bow and arrow, best gun, you won't hit anything because you have no focus. Focus is critically important. Now in life, what must you focus on? You must focus on the questions that you will have to answer before Allah. There is nothing that is more important than that. This whole life is an exam. This whole life is an exam. You are living the exam. And the passing and the failing is when you meet Allah. Right? The one who is freed from the hell fire and entered into Jannah, into Paradise, is the only one who is successful. It's not the one who had money, power, wealth, glory, whatnot, whatnot. The Quran is full of stories of people who had all this and more. They had more than you can even imagine. Yet they failed. So, focus on the questions that will be asked. What are those questions? There are four questions. Tell me anybody. What are the four questions? What is the first question? No. No. No. On the Day of Judgment, I'm saying, who is your Rabba? The question is in the grave. There are two kinds of questions. The Akhidah questions in the grave. The Amal questions on the Day of Judgment. I'm assuming that you got through the Akhidah questions. On the Day of Judgment, you're still not clear. Day of Judgment, first question, yes. Where you made your money and how you spent it? One of the questions. Good. You're halfway there. The first question is, what did you do with the time you had? What did you do with the time you had? Second question, what did you do with your youth? What did you do in your youth? Third question, what did you do with your life? That's the first one. Third question, money. Where did you earn your money? Where did you spend the money? And the fourth question, what did you do with the knowledge that was given to you? Now in these four questions, what are you being asked about? The quantity or what you did with it? Which one? Quality. Allah is not asking how long did you live? Why did you die at 50? You should have lived for 100. No. Your life has been given to you. What was given to you is given to you. Just before Ramadan, we did a janaza for a child who was born and two or three hours later he died. Date of birth and date of death is the same day. But that child also will be resurrected. Obviously, the child has no sins. So, in the dua of Makhfirat, we do not even say Allah Makhfir Lahoo because he has no sins. But the point is even he will be resurrected. So Allah will not ask how long did you live? Allah will say what did you do with the time? I was doing zikr and I was also scrolling. That's what I was doing. And you know the scrolling was more interesting than your name and your zikr. So I was looking at the scroll. You will say this. You will say it on the day of Jannah. If you don't make istighfar and taubah and you do not stop doing that, you will say this to your Lord. You will say I am a Zikr or Lord. I made no mistake. It's not funny. It is not funny. Religion is not funny. It's very serious. What did you do with the time? Then what did you do with your youth specifically because this is the time. greatest energy, greatest power, you have money, you have all kinds of shahwats, all kinds of desires and the means to fulfill them halal or haram especially while living in an environment in countries where in the name of freedom you can do whatever you want. Therefore, what did you do in your youth? And that is why one of the seven who would be shaded under the shade of the Arsh of Allah on the day when there is no shade except he's shaded is the youth who spent his time in obedience and dhikr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Not the old person,
