Verily the closest(nearest) absentee we wait for is death…

—the khutbah carries for a long time too much to post here-----

the audio actually carries on till jumaah salah

continuing----

Verily the closest(nearest) absentee we wait for is death…

Allahu Akbar..

===(the khateeb recites an arabic poem which is difficult to translate)===

I would have wished to pray over this brother…. but we ask Allah to have Mercy on him…and to give us and ending of eemaan…and with this I apologise for no reply to the question and I ask Allah, tabaraaka wa ta3aala to protect us and you in this world and the Hereafter and to gather us in the gardens of bliss with the master of the prophets (Muhammed saw)… Verily He is the Owner of that and He is Able to do that

And Allahs’ Peace be upon our prophet Muhammed and his family and companions…and commence the call to prayer…

and the reason why people carry on mourning thougout the jumaah prayer is because the imaam recites versed to do with death, and yawm al qiyamah
