Questions for DOJ – 3.1

Auto-generated transcript:We come to the third question.
The first thing to remember is that the questions of the grave, the three questions of the grave
have to do with our belief, the Aqidah.
And the questions of the Day of Judgment have to do with A'maal, with our actions, deeds.
The basis of the deeds is the Aqidah.
It is the reason you are doing the deed.
As we know from the Hadith of Hammurab al-Khattab r.a.
Inna ma'al a'malu binniyat.
The deed and the value of the deed is based on why it was done, on its intention.
So a deed that is done for anything other than the pleasure of Allah, either has no
value or it has less value, depending on what it is.
Either it has no value or it has less value.
Any deed that is done for anything other than the pleasure of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So very important to remember that.
Because normally we see, you know, in here, inna ma'al a'mal as something which is only
to do with the reward.
But it has to do with also the basic fundamental value of it itself.
You say, how's the deed?
How does it have any value?
And to understand this also, think about this.
Many people say, you know, they talk about individuals and so and so who was not a Muslim,
but they did so many good things.
And they helped people, they were charitable or whatever they were.
And what about them?
Well, as far as our Islam is concerned, they did good and they will be rewarded.
They will be rewarded.
They will be rewarded.
We just think about all the good deeds that they have done in this life, but before Allah,
when they come on the Day of Judgment, what will be in their way is that their actions
had not been done for Allah.
Their actions have been done for this dunya.
They had done these deeds for themselves, to look good, to, you know, be famous, to...
Even if it was altruistic to say they did it to help people, it was not a good deed.
It is a sin.
to help people, so they were doing it for those people.
Now Allah will reward them because this is not something
which Allah is Al-Adil, Allah does justice always.
So nobody, nobody and nobody's actions will get wasted.
They will not be wasted.
But at the same time, they will not have reward.
They will not have the reward from Allah
because they were not done for Allah.
So the thing to think about, the way to look at it also,
another example is if I wash my neighbor's car,
you know, I have two neighbors, I wash one neighbor's car,
the car will be clean.
But I go to the other neighbor and I say,
pay me for washing this car.
The neighbor will say, well, you know,
you didn't wash the car for me, you didn't wash my car.
You washed the car for me.
You washed the car of the other guy.
So why would I pay you?
I mean, I applaud you and I think you're a great guy.
You're a wonderful neighbor to have
because you're washing people's cars and so on.
But it's not my car, why would I do that?
So it's very important to keep that in mind.
That's where the question of the Aqidah.
What we believe is central and critical
for the acceptance of our deeds.
Now, having,
understood that what we believe will not save us
from doing evil.
As a matter of fact, if we insist on doing evil,
even after believing the right thing,
then it becomes a bigger problem
because you will not be able to say, well, I didn't know.
But you knew and you believed the right thing.
You knew that there is Allah.
You knew that Allah is
.
That He knows your actions.
He knows how it works.
He knows how evil you are like your parents.
He is like you.
He knows how evil,
all of these things in Yam precedes Jakhshif,
because we allow our mind to see
that the truth is these words of 말씀.
