From my Wadu, my brothers and sisters, I want you to listen carefully. Today,
myself, Brother Zahor, I don't know if he's here, Brother Asad, Brother Ali Khan from Baitus Salaam.
We went to watch the body of a Muslim, the only Muslim in his family, a revert who had passed away.
And I remember the body of a Muslim who was a Muslim, and he was the only Muslim in the family
who had passed away.
And I remember the body of a Muslim who was a Muslim.
Time before this, when I watched the body that was about almost 25 plus years ago, maybe 97 or 98.
We were in the masjid, and
sheh Hussam got a call saying, this lady called and she said that, my husband has died.
He was a nuclear
failure.
He was a nuclear failure.
physician, and I can't recall whether it was Bay State or one of the other hospitals, but
it's from this area.
And he was playing, he was in his maybe 60, 50 and 60, and he was playing tennis, and
he dropped dead on the court.
So the wife said, I think he was Muslim, and I think he wanted to be buried as a Muslim.
And he said, what do you mean?
She asked, what do you mean?
You thought he was a Muslim?
Well, he's Syrian, and this is his name.
Did you ever see him pray?
No.
Did he ever tell you about Islam?
No.
Do you have children?
Yes, three children.
The eldest one is 40 plus.
Did he ever teach them anything about Islam?
No.
Did he teach you about Islam?
No.
No.
He never taught them anything about Islam.
So Sheikh said, well, as far as I'm concerned, he's not a Muslim, because he never prayed,
and his family itself is saying he never taught them, told them anything about Islam.
He never practiced Islam.
So we cannot do the janazah for him.
And that is the correct Islamic position.
So I'm not criticizing Sheikh.
This is the right way.
But I asked him, I said, Sheikh, since this war, I'm not going to pray.
Since this woman has called and asked and so on, do you have an objection if I go and
do the salatul janazah?
Sheikh said, no.
You want to go, you go.
You are on your own.
So I said, okay.
I collected the kafan and stuff from the masjid.
Myself, if I'm not mistaken, if I remember correctly, Brother Rafiqawan, from who's now
in Basra, and Brother Akbar Sheikh.
You know, Akbar Azhar.

Then when we came up
To do the Salatul Janaza
His wife, his son, his daughter
They were all there
So I said to the son
Do you want to stand with us?
He said no
So then we prayed Salatul Janaza
And then the lady said
His wife said
We will see you at the cemetery
And they left
So now this body is in the hearse
And the hearse is driving in front
And I am following in my car
Behind this hearse
We reached the cemetery
Nobody there
Only their family
That's it
Now all the way I am thinking
Well we did the Ghosal
I don't know how the khabar is
Which way it is aligned
Whether we can put him
Facing the Qibla
Or what is to come
But all that Allah SWT is doing
When we went there
Everything was perfect
The khabar was dug in the right direction
And so on
So I went down inside the khabar
Nobody else was there
I went inside
We took the body
Put it down
Put his face towards the Qibla
And so on and so forth
And we buried him
When we buried him
I finished inside the khabar
And I came up
The wife and the children
Got in the car and left
The grave is still open
The man is still there in the grave
This is duniya
