1
The Quran says you are busy piling up,
2
calculating, developing your careers, your money,
3
your occupation, your wealth until you visit the graves Think about it.
4
When was the last time that you went to a funeral? Was it your mother?
5
Was it your father?
6
Was it your grandfather?
7
Was it your uncle?
8
Was it your cousin?
9
Was it your friend?
10
Was it your wife?
11
Was it your husband? your husband?
12
The last time that you visited the grave,
13
when you went to a funeral and you saw that person whom you loved that was laughing,
14
crying, live, boasting, wealthy, educated,
15
denied, arrogant, whatever they were.
16
What was the demeanor of the people when you walked in that funeral home,
17
when that person was stretched out in their last suit.
18
What was the demeanor?
19
Were the people cracking jokes? Were they dancing?
20
Were they clapping and singing songs?
21
No. Silence.
22
Melancholy.
23
Trauma.
24
Why?
25
Because every person that walked in that room, seeing that person stressed out, the first thing they thought about was not the person.
26
The first thing they thought about was that one day, this will be me.
27
So Allah said, All of us, all of you are engaged in running your mouths,
28
doing your business, multiplying, buying houses, cars, business, whatever you're doing.
29
And when you're told about God, religion, life, morality, you're saying, Look, I ain't got no time for that.
30
I ain't got no time for that.
31
I don't want to hear that.
32
I don't even believe in God.
33
Matter of fact, I don't even know if I'm gonna die and if I do, maybe I'm coming back again.
34
As a matter of fact, science is so sophisticated that I think really
35
that they're on the verge of being able to solve the whole thing of death soon.
36
We ain't gotta die.
37
If we got enough money, we don't even have to die.
38
See how arrogant people can be
39
until they visit the funeral house and then after you go to the funeral house if you got the guts,
40
if you got the, if you're able to do
41
so you go to the grave and now this is another scenario and you say to yourself Is that it?
42
I mean 50, 60 years Scraping, struggling, scheming, lying, stealing, fornicating, jumping up and down, begging,
43
working And this is the end of it?
44
I mean is this what's gonna happen to me?
45
Are they gonna be dropping me into a hole in the ground?
46
A hole in the ground, the same hole that a cat digs after it defecates.
47
Just a little deeper, but for the same reason.
48
The cat digs a hole because the cat has dignity.
49
Something that human beings don't seem to have.
50
Instinctively the cat digs a little hole, covers it up.
51
Humans have got to be taught to do that.
52
But it's for the same reason.
53
So you and I, we're going into a hole a little deeper than the one the cat dove.
54
And all the people that's crying, pulling out their hair, screaming, almost acting like they falling in the thing with you.
55
They wanna just jump in there with you.
56
Not really though, you know, it's all a act.
57
Cause ain't nobody really gonna jump in there and stay in there.
58
They don't love you that much.
59
And then after all the shoveling, after all the shoveling get done, and they fill it up, and the box, you can't even see the box no more,
60
the coffin, the coffin that costs $5,000.
61
I don't know, what did they burn somebody with a $5,000 coffin for?
62
I mean, if I was a funeral director, after they left, I would dig them back up and put them in another box and take that box back.
63
And honestly, I'm telling you, that's what they do.
64
Yeah.
65
So after all the money and all the drama, and they dig that hole and put you in there,
66
and cover you up, and everybody goes back to the place, go back to Mama's house or Daddy's house or whoever's house,
67
and you know we cook some chicken or whatever it is
68
and we do a little dancing and drink some scotch
69
and forget all about that person Then we start we want the lawyer to come down and talk about You know, divvying up the spoils
70
So if that woman who died had a husband somebody else gonna marry him you know that and
71
That man who died
72
You know that woman in about six months or a year of grieving or whatever it is
73
she gonna come to understand that she needs somebody else to be with, so she gonna marry somebody, so that means if his suit is still in the closet and he can fit him, who gonna wear him?
74
So it really means that after all this time, and the people walk away from that grave, it's over.
75
What about that person in the grave?
76
What's happening?
77
Because you know and I know that death is almost like sleeping.
78
Death is like sleeping.
79
Your body is gone.
80
Your body is dead.
81
Your spirit is gone.
82
But your consciousness is there.
83
Yes brothers and sisters, you and I are going to know.
84
When the people put us in that box and put us in the grave, we are going to know.
85
Your spirit is gone.
86
You can't shout.
87
You can't call out.
88
You can't say don't leave me here.
89
But you're going to be hearing and you're going to be seeing
90
because that's a different kind of consciousness but you can't move.
91
And in that grave this is when the real trauma is going to begin.
92
Because there's a reason for humans to go inside the grave.
93
If the creator wanted to, he could have caused us to live and then disappear into the atmosphere. But he didn't.
94
He caused us to go into another womb called the tomb.
95
You started out in the womb of your mother and you wind up in the womb of the earth called the tomb.
96
From the womb to the tomb.
97
This is the whole trip.
98
And this is what you have to think about.
99
That grave is going to be a place of drama and trauma.
100
A place where you're going to be questioned before you're resurrected.
101
And brothers and sisters, do you think that human beings that have the ability,
102
human beings that have the ability to take a piece of earth, dig it up, irrigate it, put down seeds, plant corn, whatever the case might be.
103
The corn comes up, they harvest the corn, then after that what happens?
104
They cut it down, dig it up again, put new seeds in there, and what happens after that?
105
Comes back up again.
106
What happens in the winter?
107
all leaves fall off the trees and the earth goes dead.
108
And what happens in the springtime?
109
The water comes, generates the earth again, germinates all over again, new grass,
110
new leaves, new flowers, new fruits.
111
So Allah says, and a sign for them is the dead earth.
112
After that, we give it life.
113
And then you eat the fruits from that.
114
So Allah says, the one who gave you life in the beginning, is he not able to give you life all over again in order to judge you?
115
Yes, certainly.
116
You may want to deny it because you don't want to be judged.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
