Can your sins affect your lifespan? If they do, is it your years that get reduced or the barakah that disappears? In Episode 22 of Ad-Daa' wa Ad-Dawaa' (The Disease and the Cure), Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how sins quietly drain a person's life. They block acts of obedience, make worship heavy, and turn repentance into a struggle. One sin opens the door to another, until the heart grows numb and the years pass with little to show. Sins waste what could've been a life full of khayr, while obedience brings ease, clarity, and barakah - even in a short lifespan. Watch this episode. It might show you what's been taking the life out of your worship, and how to bring it back.

We spend years working on our careers, chasing promotions, saving for homes, building comfort for our families. From the outside, it looks like growth. But in the sight of Allah, what's our real balance sheet? At every Janazah, we feel it for a moment: watching someone lowered into the grave and thinking, "One day that'll be me." Yet within hours, we're back to the grind. Back to chasing the same wealth and routines that won't follow us past the soil. The Prophet ﷺ told us that three things accompany every person to the grave: family, wealth, and deeds. But only one remains. The other two - the very things we obsess over - abandon us the moment we need them most. So what are you really investing in? Your children and wealth, which stay behind? Or your deeds, which remain with you forever? In this reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks the Akhirah investment strategy every believer needs to hear: - Why Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه became the greatest in just 30 years - not through more worship, but through the state of his heart. - Why Hassan al-Basri warned that time with family and wealth is devastatingly short. - What it means to own two houses - the one you obsess over now, and the one you'll live in forever. - And what really decides whether your grave becomes a garden of Jannah or a pit of Fire. This isn't about Dunya's net worth. It's about the only net worth that matters. The one revealed when you're lowered into the ground. What are you leaving behind?

You're crushing it at work or uni, but can't stop looking at what you shouldn't when you're alone. You give charity publicly but backbite privately. You know the names of all the Premier League players, but "not much" about the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. Your parents think you're the perfect Muslim child while you're drowning in guilt cycles you can't break. Religious enough to feel shame, worldly enough to keep sinning. Don't you think it's time to change? Watch Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan break down this forgotten treatise by Ibn Taymiyyah's student Ibn al-Habbal - battle-tested advice from someone who survived real consequences. He explains how to protect your heart and your time, the only two things that actually matter. How to stop trying to please everyone and focus on pleasing Allah alone. The brutal reminder: You're ageing but your sins aren't decreasing. Every breath is documented. You'll answer for every moment you had health, free time, and youth. What's your response going to be? Learn what's destroying Muslims today that's worse than private sins - the same extremism that ruined past nations. Going overboard with righteous people, and drifting towards shirk by asking dead saints for help instead of making dua directly to Allah.

The expeditions had begun. Quraysh's caravans - loaded with the wealth stripped from the Muslims in Makkah - became the new target. The first expeditions passed without major confrontation, but each one edged closer to the inevitable clash. Then came Nakhlah. A sealed letter. A mission meant only to observe. Twelve men who suddenly found themselves standing at a crossroads: strike the caravan now and risk spilling blood in the sacred month, or let it pass and lose the chance forever. One arrow was loosed. A man fell. Captives were taken. The first spoils of war were in Muslim hands. What followed shook everything. Accusations, anger, and uncertainty filled Madinah. Even the Muslims themselves were unsure of what had just happened - until revelation from Allah ﷻ descended, clarifying the truth and turning the tide. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores: - The Prophet's ﷺ earliest expeditions and why only the Muhajirun participated in them. - The Nakhlah raid and its far-reaching consequences. - A tender moment that gave 'Ali رضي الله عنه the name Abu Turab, and a chilling prophecy about his fate. - Lessons from deviation, and why the chains of scholarship protect the Ummah. A single decision at Nakhlah pushed the Muslims closer to what Quraysh had long feared: open battle.

We wake up running after deadlines, studies, careers, and distractions that never end. We scroll for hours, but never feel fulfilled. We complain about the weakness of our Ummah, yet struggle to see where strength begins. And at the back of our minds sits a question we try to ignore: what if death comes before we figure it out? This khutbah cuts to the heart of that struggle. It's about the gap between what we live for and what we were actually created for - and why that gap decides everything. And when the answer finally comes, it circles back to the very first command in the Qur'an, and the last words every believer longs to say: La ilaha illallah, the shahada.

This dunya deceives you while death calls your name. In this deep-rooted journey of tazkiyah, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble resumes his series on purifying the soul from the piercing poetry of Abu Ishaq Al-Ilbiri (459 AH), rediscovering how this Andalusian poet's verses expose the dunya's deception - all of which will be taught in detail in the Student of Knowledge program at AMAU Academy. Learn why we still mention Imam Bukhari's name 1200 years after his death, yet forget the wealthy from last week. You'll understand why your Iman feels weak and how to renew it, discover how knowledge becomes your guardian while wealth requires guarding, and see why even righteous people fall into Shaytan's traps without proper Islamic knowledge. So the question comes to be: A thousand years from now, will anyone remember your name? The scholars live on through their knowledge while the wealthy are forgotten. Choose your legacy before your choice is taken away.

You can probably say "La ilaha illallah" in less than a second. We all can. It's on our tongues every day. But if someone stopped you and said, "Explain it to me", how long would you hesitate before answering? The Shahadah isn't just a sentence we inherit. It's the foundation of Islam, the key to Jannah, and the very thing that makes our salah, fasting, and worship even count. Yet many of us have never actually studied what it means or the conditions that come with it. In this lecture, Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin explains Miftah Dar al-Salam by al-Hafidh al-Hakami - a short but powerful book that lays out the true meaning of the Shahadah and the seven conditions every Muslim needs to know. This isn't abstract theory. It's about living La ilaha illallah, so it shapes your actions today, and so it can be the last thing you say before you meet Allah.

Every Muslim, at some point, asks deep questions in their heart: "Can I ever be close to Allah when I'm struggling with sins?" "Is being a Wali of Allah only for the righteous people of the past?" "How can someone like me, caught up in work, family, mistakes, and distractions, even dream of this?" You might be struggling to stand in Qiyam al-Layl. You might be feeling spiritually low, scrolling endlessly on your phone, or carrying regrets from your past. Yet deep inside, you still want to feel that closeness to Allah and to know that He loves you. This is exactly why Miftah Tareeq al-Awliyaa' was written - to show that the path to becoming beloved to Allah is not locked away in history. It's open to anyone today who sincerely wants Allah above everything else. In this session, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains this heart-softening work of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Wasiti, outlining the qualities of the Awliya of Allah, the traits to develop, and the pitfalls to avoid on this journey.

Why do so many Muslims today feel blocked in their lives? You study, but nothing sinks in. Rizq feels cut off. Your heart feels empty even with family and comfort. Or maybe you can't explain the loneliness and heaviness that won't go away. In this episode of the explanation of Imam Ibn al-Qayyim's book 'The Disease and the Cure', Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how sins carry devastating effects in this life before the next. And whether you realise it or not, one of these effects might already be present in your life. To know what they are, and to see if one of them is already affecting you, watch this powerful reminder.
