So, you know, people, they look forward to becoming famous, then getting their pictures taken with famous and powerful people and appearing on big stage.

Right. And and basically appearing famous and powerful. But all of this fame and power on this earth is going to be left behind, except the fame, which is, of course, in the way of Allah. But there is a fame of the next world. The next world is big, very big compared to this earth we live on. And some people are going to be famous there.

And there’s a hadith about the day of judgment. Listen, the prophet, peace be upon him, said meaning seven people will be shaded by His shade on the day. There will be no shade but His shade. A just ruler, a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah. A man whose heart is attached to the masjid. Two men who love each other for Allah’s sake they gather because of it and they leave because of it.

And a man who was invited by a woman of status and beauty, and he said, I fear Allah. A man who gave in charity and kept it hidden to the point his left hand did not know what his right hand spent. And a man who remembered Allah in seclusion and in his eyes became tearful. We ask Allah to forgive us and make us from those with ease.

Ameen
