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?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
