What Are You Leaving Behind? | Eye-Openi...

ISLAMIC PODCAST
About this episode

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?
