The Good You Can't Make Up | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

You may still be alive tomorrow, but this version of your life won’t be.

Your body will change. Your circumstances will change. Your children will grow older. Your parents may not always be here. The person waiting for your apology may eventually stop waiting.

So what happens to all the good we keep telling ourselves we’ll do later?

The call we keep meaning to make. The apology we keep putting off. The time we assume we’ll have with our parents and children. The charity we tell ourselves we’ll give tomorrow.
The Qur’an preserves the plea of someone who ran out of time:

“My Lord, if only You would delay me for a little while, I would give in charity and be among the righteous.” — (Surah Al-Munafiqun, Verse 10)

But the delay never comes.

This isn’t simply a warning about dying suddenly. It’s a reminder that some of the good we postpone depends on having the right person, the right moment, or the right opportunity still in front of us.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on time, aging parents, growing children, unfinished apologies, and the opportunities for goodness we assume will still be there tomorrow.
What have you been putting off because you assume you’ll have more time?

00:00Dear brothers and sisters, a few nights ago, I went through something that I think many of us go through pretty often, where I was about to purchase something that was expiring at midnight,
00:11and as I was watching the timer that I had to purchase by midnight in order to get the deal that I was trying to get,
00:20I forgot about that purchase, I moved on to something else, and then I opened the browser once again at 12:02, and I saw that I missed out. And SubhanAllah, that actually inspired the khutbah for today,
00:35because I started to think to myself, imagine if we looked at the hasanat, the good deeds that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given to us,
00:43and we treated them as expiring good deeds. And I want to explain to you insha'Allah ta'ala what I mean by that.
00:50When the ulama talk about hasanat and good deeds, obviously the Messenger of Allah ﷺ frequently invoked the concept of trade.
00:58Allah ﷻ of course refers to our trading in good deeds, our tijaarah and hasanat, our looking to purchase with what Allah has given us of the currency of time or health or whatever circumstance,
01:12the moment that's in front of us. That good deeds fall into multiple categories. And sometimes those good deeds are spoken about in terms of how great those good deeds are.
01:23So it's because this good deed carries the weight of this reward, you should try to do this good deed.
01:29Sometimes the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is pointing towards something that we don't take very seriously, but it has major consequences and potentially major rewards. But then there are the time-bound good deeds.
01:43And when we talk about time-bound good deeds, there are deeds that are bound to time as in season, as in the motion of the day.
01:52So the deeds of Ramadan and the deeds of Dhul-Hijjah and the deeds after Fajr and the deeds of the last part of the night. And then there are deeds that are connected to the particular time in life that we are in right now.
02:06And why that's so significant, SubhanAllah, as I was thinking about how to talk about this subject, is that a lot of times when we look at our own lives, we tend to measure time by the years that we've lived on earth.
02:19All right, I'm hitting this age and I'm starting to feel this way. And if I live long enough, ten more years, that means I'm going to be this old in ten years. And I don't know how much life I have left.
02:31And obviously we know the famous saying of Imam Hasan al-Basri, rahimahullah ta'ala: "Ya bna adam, innaka ayyam." Oh, child of Adam, you are but a number of days. Every day that passes, a part of you dies.
02:43So you have an expiration date on you. I have an expiration date on me. The door is closing and we don't know when that door is closing. May Allah 'azzawajal grant us khatm, good endings. Allahumma ameen.
02:54But here's the thing. Not only does a part of us die every single day, but no two days are alike in terms of the circumstances of those days.
03:06And that means no two days are alike in terms of the good deeds that are available to you on those days.
03:15Every single day in some way is unique and gives you a unique way to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and to treat that day with a sense of urgency for that very reason. I want to actually start with the idea of Hajj.
03:29Why? Because a lot of times when you take something like Hajj, and granted that the costs are ridiculous right now and there's so much to talk about in terms of how Hajj functions as a system,
03:39but just at a personal level, one of the pillars of Islam being Hajj. Most Muslims when they talk about Hajj, even if they have the means, put it off and say, you know, Allah 'azzawajal mentions, "Liman istata'a ilayhi sabil."
03:53I don't necessarily have the financial means, or I have the financial means, but you know what, there's a lot going on this year. I've got this deal coming up. I've got this particular important moment at work,
04:03or you know, my child is graduating, or my parent has this or this or that. We tend to come up with a lot of different excuses, and we say, you know, Hajj is not something that you have to do anyway right away.
04:15And there is a putting off of a pillar of Islam. Now I just want to use this as a framing example, because there are two ahadith that actually signify the exact opposite of the attitude
04:26that most Muslims take towards something like Hajj, a pillar of Islam. In one narration, the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Ta'ajjalu ila al-hajji fa-inna ahhadakum la yadri ma ya'ridu lahu."
04:38Hurry up and do Hajj because none of you knows what's going to happen to them. You don't know what life is going to present you with. You know the circumstances you have right now, and you're thinking about the circumstances you have right now,
04:50and you're making a judgment on it with the circumstances you have right now, but you have no idea what circumstances still exist out there. And if you've already done Hajj, think of something other than Hajj. Plug something into the Hajj part here, right?
05:04In another narration, also authentic in Sunan Abu Dawud, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Man arada al-hajja fa-lya-ta'ajjal fa-innahu qad yamradu al-marid wa tatidu ad-dall wa ta'ridu al-hajah." The Prophet ﷺ, he said,
05:18whoever intends to perform Hajj, hasten. Hurry up and do Hajj because a person might suddenly get sick. Or a person who has a means of transportation, obviously back then you've got a camel, you've got a horse,
05:30you've got your way of getting there, right? Has a means of transportation, might not have that means of transportation anymore, or some sort of circumstance may arise that he's not considering yet.
05:43It's a really interesting hadith if you think about the attitude that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is talking about. Plug any good deed that you're kind of treating with mediocrity.
05:56Yeah, this is a nice to have. I'd like to do this one day. You know, one day I'm going to do this with the Qur'an. One day I'm going to start going to the masjid like this. One day I'm going to start being this way with my parents. One day I'm going to start, I'm going to free up some time,
06:10and I'm going to have this much time for this and this and that. One day when I get to this financial threshold, I'm going to give sadaqah when I get there. How do you know you're going to trend upwards and not trend downwards? In every single one of those circumstances.
06:23And that's what the Prophet ﷺ is talking about. And there's a very real practical application to this, especially in his time ﷺ. Yes, 144,000 people did Hajj with the Prophet ﷺ. There were some people that kind of eyed it and said,
06:37you know what, he's going to Hajj next year. We'll go next year too. We'll just go next year with the Prophet ﷺ. And imagine how they felt when that door with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ closed.
06:50And so I come to this idea, the basic premise of this, is that there is a deed that you can do today with the current living circumstances that you have today
07:02that you might not be able to do tomorrow. And a believer has to assign times to every single deed to the best of their ability and say, this door is closing, this door is closing, this one's running out. Like you've got your browser open
07:16and you put all those deeds in front of you. And the ulama put them into different categories. The first type of deed that they talk about, that la ya'ud, that cannot come back,
07:28is a deed that can't come back because you changed. You changed physically. Something happened to you. So when the Prophet ﷺ mentions, take hold of five before five, your life before your death, or your free time before your busyness,
07:42or your health before your sickness, or your wealth before your poverty. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is giving us these indicators, right? Your youth before your old age, that you're going to change. And there are certain things
07:55that you're not going to be able to do as you get older and things get older with you. Especially health and free time, right? The financial part, you know, you might strike wealth
08:08and you might actually get wealthier for some reason in some way that Allah 'azzawajal opens a door for you that you did not know. Or you might go completely broke, right? But if you take time,
08:19very few people get less busy as life goes on. And very few people get healthier as they get older, right? Those things are in decline and there are declining opportunities that come with it.
08:33And the ulama point to the ayah in the Qur'an when the person who passes away says, "Lau la akhartani" if you would just give me ajal qarib, just give me a little bit more time. He doesn't say give me a decade left on earth,
08:46give me 10 more years, 20 more years, just give me a few days. Yeah Allah, I know what I can do. Let me go into ultra drive for all of these things that I know I was supposed to do now with the few days that I have left. So that's the first type of change.
09:00that could happen to where a deed cannot be made up later on and you have to look at your life and say what's trending inevitably and what might go in a certain direction that I don't understand yet but I need to think about this, right?
09:13The second one is circumstances, life circumstances. And they're the circumstances that you're holding out for that you want to happen. But in the process of wanting those circumstances, you're ignoring your current circumstances, right?
09:27So for example, there's a single person that really, really wants to get married and when I get married I'm gonna do this and this. There are certain things that you can do when you're single, do them while you're single. If someone's like I want to get into this college, I want to go to this, I want this job. There's certain things you can do right now,
09:41do them while you can do them right now. So there are things that you want and it's important that as you're asking Allah for what you want tomorrow, that you're doing what Allah 'Azza wa Jall wants from you today. There are certain things that you're talking about,
09:55circumstances that you desire. Well, what are you doing with the circumstances that you have right now that Allah 'Azza wa Jall has decreed as righteous and blessed? Right? So that's one level of circumstances.
10:07The second layer is very interesting. It is the circumstance within a circumstance. And this is a little complicated. But the ulama mention, for example, when it comes to forgiveness.
10:20When it comes to forgiveness. Forgiveness is always blessed. Right? It's a blessed virtue. And obviously the circumstance of forgiving is that you are someone who was wronged. That's why you have to forgive.
10:34Right? Or that's why you're being called to forgive in the first place. But there's forgiveness before the person apologizes and forgiveness after the person apologizes. And they say that that one is more blessed than the other.
10:46There is ihsan towards a person, doing excellence towards your loved ones. There is ihsan all the time. Ihsan is doing extra beyond what is necessary of you. But there is al-ihsan qabla al-su'al wa al-ihsan ba'da al-su'al.
11:00To show excellence before you're even asked or to show excellence after you've been asked. Meaning what? Al-sa'il wa al-mahrum. Allah 'Azza wa Jall mentions giving to those who ask and those who are prevented from asking.
11:14That before that person even gets in a position to ask you, precede them. And that's not just something for charity. That's something with your loved ones. You know that they want to ask you something.
11:27You know that someone is going to ask you something. Before they get to the point of asking, precede them. Precede them in the ask. That's more blessed. And so when the Prophet ﷺ talked about sadaqah, charity for example, there is the sincerity element,
11:40private versus public. But there is also giving while you're able and giving while you're poor. And both of those present different layers of tazkiyah, different layers of opportunity.
11:52But the point is that there is the circumstance within the circumstance. And you have to ask yourself, within the circumstance, what's the best possible thing that I can do at this moment before the timer runs out.
12:06Because even if I do something good, it could have been even better. If I would have paid attention to the circumstance within the circumstance. The third one that the ulama mention
12:17is deeds that can expire or that can't be made up because guess what? People around you expire too. People around you expire too. It's not just you getting older. It's grandparents, it's parents,
12:30it's your children, right? That are getting older as well. Everyone's moving in a direction. Everyone is getting older. And there are certain things that present themselves with the people that are around you.
12:43Subhan'Allah, one of the most beautiful narrations that I found in this regard is one of the salaf, Muhammad al-Munkadir, rahimahullah ta'ala, who talks about his own spiritual journey quite a bit.
12:56He's one of the tabi'een that's very famous in this regard. And he says that I had a brother, Muhammad had a brother named Umar. And he said,
13:06بِتُ أَغْمِزُ رِجْلَ أُمِّي وَبَاتَ عُمَرُ يُصَلِّي لَيْلَتَهُ He said that I spent the night massaging the feet of my elderly mother. And Umar spent the night praying his qiyam al-layl.
13:19قَالَ فَمَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لَيْلَتِي بِلَيْلَتِهِ And I would not want to exchange my night for his night. I wouldn't want to exchange my night for his night. What's the point here? People change.
13:33People get older. Are you paying attention? Someone says, I'm going to do this for my parents when I get enough money. Well, what if your parents are not there for you to spend that money on them? Or what if the parents get older and the money doesn't come and you just lose it all together?
13:46What are the simple acts of ihsan? And that is some of the wisdom that the ulama mention in the famous narration of Ibn Abbas, radiAllahu ta'ala anhuma leaving the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ in the last ten nights of i'tikaf
13:58to help a man who was in debt. They said that that particular circumstance exists for that person in that moment. Whereas you can come back and you can do i'tikaf tomorrow unless you pass away. And you'd still be rewarded
14:12because you had the intention for doing it. So what are the deeds with the people around us that are going to expire? Right? And that Allah knows. Just like we don't know when we're going to pass away, we don't know when the people around us are going to pass away. Someone says, you know, when I get the time
14:26I'm going to be like this towards my spouse. I'm going to spend time with my children. I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. Why are you making these assumptions that everyone is going to be around in the exact same way? And eventually, subhanAllah, people's attitudes change towards you as well. May Allah 'azza wa jall protect us
14:40and enable us in that regard. Allahumma amin. The fourth way that some of the scholars mention is that a deed expires, a deed expires
14:51because the need for that deed has expired. And this is a major shift if you think about a post-Gaza world in particular. هَا أَنْتُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
15:05فَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يَبْخَلُ وَمَنْ يَبْخَلُ فَإِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَاللَّهُ الْغَنِيُّ وَأَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَإِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ When Allah 'azza wa jall says that you're being called towards doing something good, you're being called towards spending for the sake of Allah,
15:19not just your money, but your health, your time. There is a need in front of you that Allah 'azza wa jall is presenting, not His need, Allah does not have needs, a need that's being presented in front of you.
15:32Someone is being oppressed, some sadaqah is being called for, something righteous can be done. But you know what? Allah chooses other people that are more worthy to be there for that cause than you.
15:46You are the one who's not fortunate. You are the one who missed out. So you're thinking like, when's it going to be over? And oh man, here we go again. No! Allah 'azza wa jall presented you with an opportunity to get you into Jannah.
15:59This is the thirsty dog moment for you. That woman who was an adulteress and the thirsty dog walked by, if she didn't give water to that thirsty dog, maybe she would have never seen another thirsty dog again. This is your thirsty dog moment. Right?
16:12And may Allah 'azza wa jall protect us. I'm not comparing human beings to animals. I'm saying that there are moments that Allah presents needs to you. There are critical things. Before the door of that need closes,
16:26be there. Be there. And you will be the fortunate person who has been chosen to be there. And the fifth one, the fifth one, and this is very important, and I'll end with this,
16:39that a person is impatient with their du'a, but they are so patient with their own deeds. Impatient with their du'a, so patient with their own deeds. You ask Allah for things, I want this now, now, now, now. Allah 'azza wa jall commands you to do something,
16:53you make every single excuse in the book and you say, well, I have excuses and I don't necessarily have to do this right now and I have ways around this. Absolutely not. It's not the attitude that you want to have with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
17:07Dear brothers and sisters, every day, every blessing, every test, every circumstance comes with a unique window.
17:18Use that window, don't lose that window. And that takes your own introspection. You keep wanting Allah to change your circumstance and Allah 'azza wa jall is telling you,
17:31haq, make use of the circumstance that you're in right now because once that circumstance passes, the deed that was possible with that circumstance would have passed as well. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala allow us to find the best way to worship Him
17:44in health and in sickness, in hardship and in ease. May Allah 'azza wa jall make us a people who hasten towards His pleasure before those deeds expire. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala enable us to exert ourselves
17:58towards the Qur'an, to exert ourselves towards sadaqah, to exert ourselves towards righteousness, to exert ourselves towards justice, to exert ourselves towards dhikr, towards du'a, towards our parents, towards our loved ones, towards those people and those things
18:12that are in our lives before we miss out on those opportunities. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala open our eyes, open our hearts, and open our means towards those ways that are pleasing to Him. Allahumma amin. Jazakallahu khaira wa astaghfirullah li wa alakum wa lil muslimin.
18:25Fa astaghfiru innahu huwa al-ghafur wa al-rahim.
