[3:14]life continuing with our discussion about imam ali IBN ABI talib salawatullahi

[3:22]wa salamu alayh last night we said we said that one of

[3:25]the reasons why we want to follow Imam Ali o Navy pilot

[3:28]alayhis-salam is because he is a personality that demonstrated the pinnacle of

[3:36]success when it comes to achieving the purpose of life and that

[3:40]is achieving the pleasure of allah subhanahu wata'ala as we discussed in

[3:46]surat a Toba tonight insha Allah will shed light on a different

[3:52]aspect of why do we need to follow Imam Ali of nabi

[3:58]of allah salawatullahi wa salaam are they in the 21st century the

[4:04]ayat I just read from Surat at dar al in San discuss

[4:16]an incident that happened during the time of the Prophet peace be

[4:20]upon him and his divine family where one day imam al hasan

[4:24]an imam and hussain ali him as salaam became ill and hence

[4:30]fatima to Zara and Imam Ali RA him as Salaam made another

[4:33]a vow if Allah were to cure them then they would fast

[4:41]for three consecutive days Allah subhana WA Ta'ala gave imam al hassan

[4:46]an imam hussain ali mussalam a quick recovery so Imam Ali and

[4:52]Fatima Tassajara ellingham a salam fulfilled their Neda fulfilled their vow so

[4:56]they fasted for three consecutive days as they planned to fast imam

[5:04]al hasan and imam al-hussein alayhim as-salam said we will join you

[5:09]in the fast even though they were very young still but they

[5:12]said we are going too fast as a family so they decided

[5:19]to fast as a family on the first day after fasting a

[5:23]long day at about the time of a fog they hear a

[5:29]knock on the door they opened the door and they find a

[5:36]poor person a destitute requesting some help asking for some food so

[5:40]they take all the food that they had for a fog and

[5:44]they give it to this poor person and they break their fast

[5:53]with a drink of water the second day again they fast and

[5:57]at the time of a fog they hear a knock on the

[6:04]door this time they open the door and they find an orphan

[6:11]who's asking for some food again they take all that food that

[6:14]they had and they give it to the orphan and they break

[6:20]their fast with a drink of water the third day at the

[6:23]time of a fog after fasting long days and for two consecutive

[6:31]days they have not had food to eat again at the time

[6:34]of a fog someone knocks the door and this time it's a

[6:40]prisoner who says I don't have any food to eat can you

[6:43]please give me some food and so they give him food again

[6:49]and they break they're far only with drinks of water imagine fasting

[6:55]three consecutive days and breaking your power fast only with drinks of

[7:02]water for three consecutive days so they became tired the prophet sallallahu

[7:07]alayhi wa al came to visit them and he saw them in

[7:13]this state where they were tired they were fatigued and he cried

[7:17]for seeing them in the state allah subhana wa ta'ala then revealed

[7:25]the surah surah tada valence an and praise of what elevate alayhim

[7:31]wa sallam and sacrificing their food to help the needy to help

[7:37]the orphan to help those who are in need of help one

[7:44]thing that is interesting here as they were helping the poor and

[7:49]the needy they never said anything but their intention was that we

[7:54]want to help you for the sake of the pleasure of allah

[7:59]subhanahu wata'ala nor do we want or thank you or do we

[8:02]expect any reward from you that was their intention they help purely

[8:08]for the sake of helping not necessarily to be recognized not necessarily

[8:14]to be known or mentioned Allah subhana WA Ta'ala took this intentioned

[8:20]in this new year and he put it in the Quran when

[8:26]he says in naman / mo calmly wa jalla la novia minkum

[8:28]Jezza and voila Sakura we feed you purely for the sake of

[8:37]Allah we don't want a reward from you nor even a word

[8:40]of gratitude this is the intention of Ahlul Bayt alayhi wa sallam

[8:50]that spirit of giving carried through when Imam Ali o venerable bali

[8:54]bah-li his salon became the ha'la'tha of the muslims he realized that

[9:02]there were people who were impoverished there were people who are living

[9:09]under the poverty line there were people who were homeless and so

[9:15]he developed a strategy to combat poverty to combat homelessness given the

[9:24]time of course we will not be able to discuss his strategy

[9:27]at length but we'll set some lights on some of the points

[9:30]that he did before I commenced on his strategies a couple years

[9:42]ago I was reading in the papers about the g7 nation which

[9:45]are the biggest kind of industrial nations in the world the developed

[9:49]countries in the world and they meet on an annual basis and

[9:55]they develop targets a couple of years ago a target that was

[9:58]developed which was interesting it was to eradicate poverty by the year

[10:07]2030 eradicate global poverty by the year 2030 so this was a

[10:13]target that was set and the newspaper started discussing it when I

[10:19]read the news the first thing that came to my mind is

[10:24]how it's easy to set a target but what is the strategy

[10:36]a strategy was not mentioned today there are approximately approximately 1 billion

[10:42]people who are living under the poverty line globally 1 billion people

[10:50]in the United States alone you have approximately 30 million people living

[10:58]under the poverty line what that means is that people who don't

[11:06]have food for the dinner and this has a huge impact on

[11:09]the education on the children it's a vicious cycle which keeps on

[11:12]continuing I don't think there is a single mayor of the developed

[11:22]world in a major city who can stand up and say I

[11:24]don't have any homeless people in my city addressing homelessness is an

[11:36]issue addressing poverty is an issue and globally people are trying to

[11:45]address these issues well one reason why we need to study the

[11:47]life of Imam Ali ibn ABI Taleb alehissalaam in the 21st century

[11:53]and why it is so important and so relevant is because we

[11:56]have a living model of a system that is not fictional real

[12:01]that governed many parts of the world yet eradicated poverty and Radek

[12:11]ated homelessness so it's worthwhile for us to study the system and

[12:16]try to understand how it worked what did he do and try

[12:20]to implement some of these strategies in this day and age one

[12:27]thing that Imam Ali of Navy pilot alehissalaam did is social welfare

[12:34]or social assistance to everyone in the Islamic state of his day

[12:44]under his rule and by the way when we talk about the

[12:47]leadership of Imam Ali alehissalaam we are talking approximately of his Halawa

[12:56]him leading 30 or so countries of today's world map you're talking

[13:02]about Egypt all the way to Iran including Afghanistan and that part

[13:09]of the world the only region that was not under his rule

[13:16]from this whole area was Damascus Bela - um today's Syria that

[13:21]was the only region that was not under his rule that was

[13:27]under the rule of how we have Navy Sofia but the rest

[13:29]all these countries the Gulf countries of today Yemen Egypt you go

[13:37]to Iran Iraq etc etc all those dates all those countries where

[13:43]under his leadership so to have such a large piece of land

[13:48]to govern with so many people and not to have any people

[13:54]who are impoverished that is indeed an accomplishment one thing the imam

[14:01]salam ala hele did is the social assistance first of all whatever

[14:06]he used to get to receive in terms of the wealth of

[14:10]the state taxes for example in Islam we have taxes there in

[14:16]different forms than the points of zakat and the forms of homes

[14:23]and some other forms as well those taxes when they used to

[14:26]come the imam salam ala la used to distribute these taxes back

[14:33]to the people in a fair manner where people were just equally

[14:38]nobody was given more than what he or she deserves one day

[14:46]his own sister omaha knee comes with her maid they come to

[14:51]him and he takes some of the money gives his sister and

[14:58]takes some money and gives to the maid as they walk outside

[15:00]his sister looks at the maid and asks her how much did

[15:05]he give you so the maid opens her hand and says well

[15:07]this is how much he gave me the sister looks at her

[15:11]hand and she says my lord that's exactly how much he gave

[15:20]me as well you are my maid she goes back to him

[15:22]this is his own sister the sister of the khalifa and he

[15:27]just to give things you know in a perspective you're talking about

[15:31]the president's sister well we see what his daughter is doing these

[15:41]days but nonetheless so she walks in and she tells him yeah

[15:45]Ali I am your sister that's one thing I'm the Haditha sister

[15:50]second I'm an Arab my maid is not even an Arab three

[15:58]are from Beni Hashem and she's not even from Beni Hashem I

[16:06]have all these merits which means I should get more I deserve

[16:13]more than her he picks up piece of the sand in both

[16:20]of his hands and he opens them and he says do you

[16:23]see a difference between the sand this and she says no he

[16:28]says there are there's no difference between an Arab and a non

[16:34]Arab except when it comes to what piety taqwa the fear of

[16:41]Allah the love of allah subhana wa ta'ala and that will be

[16:44]judged by Allah subhana WA Ta'ala God knows you may have an

[16:51]Arab who is extremely pious extremely fearful of God obeys the commands

[16:54]of Allah you may have a nun Arab who's extremely pious and

[16:58]fearful of Allah and follows the command of Allah it doesn't matter

[17:02]and they will be both equal in the eyes of Allah Subhanahu

[17:08]WA Ta'ala it's not about being an Arab or non Arab it

[17:13]was not until that one T youth century when people eradicated racism

[17:18]at least on paper but we still see what is happening in

[17:21]Ferguson we see what happens in Orlando we see what happens in

[17:29]other parts of this country it still exists but it was not

[17:33]until the 20th century that at least on paper it was banned

[17:35]imam ali salam wa ala banded 14 centuries ago in practice not

[17:43]in theory he says there is no difference you get whatever you

[17:47]made gets and that's it and this was something that made people

[17:52]upset people like his own cousin az-zubair Abner I'm the son of

[18:01]Sofia the prophet's aunt an imam ali's aunt zou bale and others

[18:06]other companion paula became very upset that why is a leonid ilyich

[18:10]giving us the same as everyone else and this was one of

[18:16]the reason that they raged they would they waged a war against

[18:19]him um and um nebula Valley in Salaam the Battle of German

[18:23]they sought the help of one of the prophet's wives Oh mommy

[18:27]Nina Aisha and they requested her to join their camp and they

[18:33]raised an army to go fight against Imam Ali ibn ABI Talib

[18:35]alehissalaam because some people just could not handle being treated fairly that's

[18:44]something that people sometimes dislike it steps on people it's toys toes

[18:51]to treat them fairly people like a caste system sometimes they don't

[18:56]like that to be treated fairly you know they say sometimes in

[19:01]English the truth hurts people sometimes cannot handle it and they don't

[19:07]like it but even though it's led to a war the Battle

[19:14]of German people told Imam Ali alehissalaam yeah Ameer al-mumineen there are

[19:20]some people like pal ha like zubayr like Marija and Shan these

[19:27]people want some power you give them the power just until you

[19:31]can really set yourself you know get your Halawa up and running

[19:35]get your state up and running and then you can do whatever

[19:41]you want with these people for now it's okay give them what

[19:43]they want Imam Ali Ali salam says and then what am I

[19:50]going to answer to allah subhanahu wata'ala I give them what they

[19:56]want if any person gets oppressed because of Malawi as oppression who

[20:01]is going to be responsible then I will be held responsible before

[20:06]Allah subhana WA Ta'ala he I cannot accept that and that led

[20:10]to another battle the bad loss of Fein where Maui of Navi

[20:16]Sophia and waged the war but see this is where Hawk and

[20:18]battle truth and falsehood and a person has to be on the

[20:27]truth side even though it might upset some people but at least

[20:31]one knows that he is doing what is right Imams own brother

[20:38]a Dean comes to him and this is mentioned in natural Bulava

[20:43]imam ali ali salam says i saw my own brother appeal coming

[20:48]to me with his children who are the children of peel was

[20:53]one of them is Muslim even a teen the ambassador of Imam

[20:57]al-hussein alehissalaam who was killed in Kufa that's one of them Muslim

[21:02]I saw my own brother appeal coming to me with his children

[21:06]and I saw them full of dust they don't look very good

[21:15]an appeal is telling me Ali give me some more money from

[21:19]the Muslims Treasury increase my salary now why was appeal poor here's

[21:26]a question we just said that there are no poor people so

[21:30]what happens well appeal used to be generous generosity is a good

[21:34]thing but not overspending appeal used to overspend used to give and

[21:42]give until maybe halfway through the month he runs out but that's

[21:46]not even at his fault so he came come he comes once

[21:51]to imam ali alehissalaam and tells him yeah Amir al-mumineen you give

[21:56]me something as well man Ali Ali has sallam said you want

[22:01]money from the Muslims Treasury said yes he says how about if

[22:05]you and I you know now it's gonna get dark pretty soon

[22:07]how about if you and I when it gets dark go out

[22:12]and steal from some shop and I'll steal some money from you

[22:15]and then for you and give it to you is what you're

[22:17]talking about you want to make us become thieves at the end

[22:22]of our lives he says well isn't that what you're asking me

[22:24]to do at least when you steal from a shop you're stealing

[22:29]from one person you're telling me to steal money from the Muslims

[22:35]Treasury so we're stealing from all Muslims a kid had no answer

[22:40]he then insisted on imam ali ali assalaam so then imam ali

[22:45]salaam at that time appeal had lost his eyesight because of old

[22:51]age Imam Ali Salim Ali then took a metal rod heated it

[22:53]up in the fire and said I they'll hold this now a

[22:58]kid could not see he had lost his eyesight so when he

[23:00]held it he immediately he got burned so he merely cried and

[23:04]said I need what are you doing said what happened a pain

[23:10]was that painful is it of course it's a fire he said

[23:13]the our tale your crying from a fire that I prepared to

[23:18]teach you a lesson and you don't want me to worry about

[23:20]the fire that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has prepared to punish those

[23:27]who steal from the people's money I'm so happy I can give

[23:30]you anything do you see this great example where his own siblings

[23:35]come to him for money and they don't get anything except what

[23:42]they deserve it's not because he is the son-in-law of the leader

[23:46]or she is the daughter of the leader or she's so-and-so of

[23:51]the leader then she gets you know special rights or because he's

[23:57]a friend of the leader and he is a cousin of the

[23:59]leader and he's a son of the leader then mashallah the wolf

[24:06]gets divided amongst the family well at whose expense it's at those

[24:10]who become impoverished it's at the expense of those 30 million people

[24:14]who don't have any thing to eat for dinner so that was

[24:22]one strategy of the Imam Salaam Valley social assistance and fair distribution

[24:27]of wealth there is a noble laureate who won the Nobel Prize

[24:39]for Peace in 2006 in 2006 a man by the name of

[24:42]dr.

[24:43]Muhammad Yunus from Bangladesh won the Nobel Prize for Peace he writes

[24:50]in one of his books he says poverty that we see in

[24:58]the world today is not because we don't have enough resources so

[25:04]then what is the problem he says because we don't have a

[25:08]fair distribution of resources what do you mean he says and listen

[25:12]to this statistic 94% of the world's wealth is in the hands

[25:23]of 40% of the world's population I repeat ninety-four percent of the

[25:33]world's wealth is in the hands of 40% of the world's population

[25:41]the remaining 6% is divided by sixty percent let me put that

[25:45]in perspective for you suppose you have a room here with a

[25:51]hundred people okay and you have a pipe that you can evenly

[25:54]slice into hundred slices logic dictates that you have hundred slices hundred

[26:01]people in the room therefore each person gets how many slice one

[26:05]slice correct and that will feed each and every person in the

[26:11]room and keep them happy that's what logic dictates however what is

[26:19]happening in reality is you divide the people in the room into

[26:28]two groups you have forty on one side and sixty on the

[26:31]other side so it's not even an even distribution 40 on one

[26:36]side 60 on the other side then you take 94 slices of

[26:40]the pie and you give them to the 40 say there you

[26:46]go that's yours you have six more slices left to feed 60

[26:53]people what do you think will happen fighting war people will become

[27:02]impoverished problems that's what we're observing today and in the world it's

[27:09]interesting even if you ask a ten-year-old here in the crowd he

[27:18]will tell you each person gets one slice but the adults who

[27:22]are running the world that's not how they see it 94% goes

[27:30]to 40% that's why we have some individuals who you know interestingly

[27:36]state that our world today is running not by saying people but

[27:42]rather on insanity because which sane person would see a person dying

[27:46]in front of them and not give them any food so you

[27:51]see the even distribution of wealth and when we talk about even

[27:55]distribution of wealth by the way I want to clarify something we're

[27:58]not talking about a socialist government or a communist government that says

[28:04]you cannot have wealthy people that's not what thought what we're saying

[28:08]no you can have people who are businessmen or businesswomen you can

[28:12]have the wealthy class but that wealthy class needs to pay its

[28:16]dues needs to pay its taxes that's why imam ali IBN ABI

[28:22]talib alayhi salam says in natural balada innallaha Subhanahu forever fear my

[28:27]Lilith Nia a poet Elphaba famosa Ffion illa bima mutia be here's

[28:34]an eon wa la ilaha illa Homa and alack he says Allah

[28:37]subhana WA Ta'ala has dictated that the poor the poor share of

[28:45]the wealth is in the hands of the rich so you don't

[28:48]find a poor person suffering because unless there is a rich man

[28:56]who what did not pay did not pay don't we have a

[28:59]president who takes pride and not paying taxes for the past 18

[29:04]years and he says that's being smart he found the loopholes in

[29:09]the system which allows him not to pay any taxes another billionaire

[29:13]in this country it was found that his secretary who makes about

[29:18]$36,000 a year or $40,000 a year pays more taxes than he

[29:28]does as a billionaire you think that's fair well then there's no

[29:33]surprise you have 30 million people suffering and you have those billionaires

[29:37]who found the loopholes in the system and they don't pay taxes

[29:41]well that's what happens imam ali of navi a pile of alehissalaam

[29:48]Chlo those loopholes on people he told everyone you must pay your

[29:53]fair share and then when they pay the fair share instead of

[29:56]him taking it for himself or giving it to his siblings and

[30:01]his cousins and his family members he was actually giving it back

[30:05]to the people who most needed that's another important aspect so one

[30:10]is you close the loopholes that allow the rich to become richer

[30:15]second when you take taxes you divide them well 3 Imam Ali

[30:24]ibn ABI Taleb alehissalaam fought corruption he would not allow he would

[30:31]not allow some of his leaders some of his governors to run

[30:37]a business just because I'm the governor or I'm the mayor or

[30:42]I'm the leader then I can get things done my way he

[30:48]would not allow that one of his governors he had a governor

[30:51]on Basra in the city of Basra in Iraq today a man

[30:57]by the name of Earth man even for knife one of the

[31:01]wealthy people in the city of Basra sets up a dinner and

[31:07]he invites only the rich it's a dinner for the elites that's

[31:14]it and he invites the governor of Basra who's the governor or

[31:17]Imam Ali of Nebulon Valley Salaam he put him there but man

[31:20]even her nave earth man being the governor attends the dinner Imam

[31:27]Ali of nabi of allah allah salam hears about it he writes

[31:33]a letter and he sends it to him he says how dare

[31:40]you attend a dinner that is only made for the rich when

[31:42]you as a governor are representing the rich and the poor you're

[31:46]not only the governor for the rich you're the governor for everyone

[31:50]else he says learn from my example look at I eat dry

[32:01]bread that's what I have for food in terms of clothes I

[32:08]only have one pair of clothes that's it and sometimes it used

[32:15]to get tour and he would stitch it and he's the Khalifah

[32:20]learn from my example Halawa in le cun lima a momen imam

[32:29]yak teddy bear why Estadio be Noel may allah wa ni'ma maqam

[32:34]paddocks affirm in dunya Hobart my woman taught me he before say

[32:40]Allah when in knock'em latest that the owner allowed Alec out of

[32:44]the owner allowed Alec Guney be water and watched he heard where

[32:50]I fit in was a dad says I only eat a couple

[32:52]of pieces of bread for the whole day I only have a

[32:56]couple of pieces of clothing that i wear and that's it I

[32:58]don't have a closet full of clothes that's about to explode that's

[33:05]it learn from your leadership that's how the leadership lived the leadership

[33:11]did not live in a huge tower where the security of that

[33:14]tower costs the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars every year to

[33:20]pay for why should taxpayers pay for the taxes out of their

[33:23]own pockets for the security of a tower so that the wife

[33:28]of the leader can be protected when the leader himself masha'Allah he's

[33:36]a billionaire why can't he invest out of his own money well

[33:41]when the taxpayers are paying out of their own pocket millions if

[33:49]not billions of dollar just for security unnecessarily then of course you'll

[33:56]have 30 million people suffering from poverty if these millions of dollars

[34:01]were spent on people then that would eradicate their poverty so there's

[34:06]corruption there is corruption that is happening Imam Ali fought against corruption

[34:14]another thing that Imam Ali bin Abi Talib did salam ala hele

[34:22]was he did not invest or I should say waste money in

[34:25]areas that were not necessary do you know what is your defense

[34:33]budget every year how much do you guys spend on military every

[34:36]year how much did the United States is the leader it's the

[34:41]leader in spendings every year on military how much do you guys

[34:47]know now 500 billion dollars a year 500 billion a year that's

[34:56]half a trillion half a trillion last year or in 2015 I

[35:04]should say in 2015 there is an institute called the Stockholm Institute

[35:08]for International Peace Research it's an NGO you know that just deals

[35:14]with military spending for peace etc etc you know they came up

[35:19]with a very interesting report you guys can look it up online

[35:21]you know they're available online the Stockholm Institute for peace for International

[35:27]Peace Research in 2015 the world spent globally 1.7 trillion dollars on

[35:40]war 1.7 trillion dollars were spent on war globally and why was

[35:53]this money spent to achieve peace doesn't that sound ironic spending 1.7

[35:59]billion or trillion sorry on war to achieve peace what this Institute's

[36:05]and I'll read you some of the statistics or some of the

[36:10]quotes the Institute suggests that if we take out of this 1.7

[36:21]trillion dollars if we take 12% we can enhance the whole telecommunication

[36:30]system of the world if we take an additional 13% we can

[36:37]eradicate poverty and hunger imagine 1.7 trillion all in all you know

[36:43]I won't give you all the statistics but if anyone is interested

[36:46]I have them here all in all if we take approximately 40

[36:54]to 50 percent of that 1.7 trillion dollars if we take 40%

[37:00]off and rather invest them on health education agriculture telecommunications and so

[37:09]on so forth we can eradicate most of the world's problems 40

[37:16]to 50 percent can you imagine this if you can provide people

[37:24]with food to eat if you provide them with water to drink

[37:32]you know there are some parts in Africa and I actually visited

[37:35]some of these parts of myself there are parts of Africa where

[37:43]people have to walk literally five miles to 20 miles in some

[37:48]areas to get access to clean water you know when you open

[37:55]the tap and that running water comes be grateful to Allah say

[38:00]l-hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen you have a luxury that some people in

[38:03]the world would love to have would dream of having that they

[38:08]can open a tap and clean water would be running that's a

[38:12]luxury but we don't appreciate it imagine walking every day at least

[38:22]five miles five miles every day walking just to go get water

[38:25]and then you have to walk five miles back carrying that water

[38:27]jug with you then will you have energy to learn to go

[38:36]to school to educate to each No so then what happens well

[38:43]a person remains ignorant yep you know communities remain impoverished what happens

[38:47]you have individuals who have some political agendas who can come and

[38:51]preach these communities whatever they want give them some bread give them

[38:58]some water and give them a gun and they can direct them

[39:01]in any way they want but if we can actually build water

[39:07]wells if we can get the sanitation up and running eradicate the

[39:12]poverty build hospitals you know five hundred billion dollars on military budget

[39:18]every year that spent only in this country alone how many hospitals

[39:24]can that build I've spoken to some health professionals they say approximately

[39:30]it costs approximately anywhere from one to two billion dollars to build

[39:35]a hospital one to two billion dollars to build a state-of-the-art hospital

[39:41]this includes the equipment's the beds etc etc so let's say two

[39:46]billion dollars five hundred billion dollars how many hospitals can you build

[39:51]can you do the math how many I sent masha'Allah we have

[39:58]some really good people in math I'm proud of you guys Americans

[40:00]you know pretty good job maybe you guys should teach your government

[40:05]how to do the math 250 hospitals can be built and then

[40:12]you have people who don't have health insurance you know something guys

[40:17]you guys are the only country in the world a developed country

[40:20]in the world that does not have universal health insurance you're the

[40:26]only developed country in the world people in Canada make fun of

[40:29]you guys you know with all due respect because we do have

[40:30]universal health insurance there was a an article once written by one

[40:39]of the leading Canadian newspapers which was making fun unfortunately in a

[40:44]very sad way you know it's stating the facts but in the

[40:49]United States it is legal to go and buy guns they're sold

[40:53]on the streets but when someone takes that gun and shoots people

[40:59]like happens you know almost unfortunately on a monthly basis just today

[41:03]there were some shootings unfortunately to some congressmen which were very unfortunate

[41:07]you know incidents that happens there were some sometimes sometimes there were

[41:11]shootings at schools where children get killed at universities at movie theaters

[41:17]at religious institutions I mean that happens unfortunately on a regular basis

[41:23]it's very sad so this Canadian journalist is saying that in this

[41:30]country in the United States it's interesting you can go buy guns

[41:33]there legally to be they're legally sold on the streets but when

[41:39]someone takes that gun and shoots someone else and that person doesn't

[41:44]die he ends up in the hospital he gets treated who pays

[41:48]the bill he will be given the bill he has to pay

[42:00]for it he's a victim he was just shot but because he

[42:07]doesn't have health insurance now that the hospital treated him and sometimes

[42:12]this could be costly expenses gunshots surgeries treatments etc they'll be slapped

[42:19]with a bill of $100,000 approximately give or take and they have

[42:22]to pay for it does that make any sense to you guys

[42:29]well that's the country you live in and hence you have poverty

[42:33]you have people who unfortunately are not getting the treatments that they

[42:39]deserve that they need it's a great country don't take me wrong

[42:43]the American people are very nice people they're very supportive very generous

[42:48]and that's why in many of these occasions when some things like

[42:52]this happen you have the general people the general public coming and

[42:58]donating to help out isn't but the government needs to also figure

[43:03]out where to invest on it spendings invest on education invest on

[43:10]health invest on eradicating poverty and things will be corrected you see

[43:15]how a mom I'll even have you thought of alia salaam managed

[43:18]to eradicate poverty because he fought against that whole system he made

[43:26]sure that there were no loopholes where people can avoid their taxes

[43:29]you have to pay taxes if you're wealthy you have to pay

[43:32]your taxes that's one - once he receives these taxes he made

[43:41]sure that they're invested back on people he did not invest five

[43:45]hundred billion dollars on military spending that was not necessary his army

[43:53]consisted of ordinary men people who used to be Baker's barbers farmers

[44:01]builders that was army but when the time comes for them to

[44:05]fight they pick up the sword and they go to fight once

[44:09]the war was over they go back to doing their business you

[44:15]don't need a huge capital to invest on a military because the

[44:19]military comes from the ordinary people only when they were fighting that's

[44:22]when the state would have to take care of their families and

[44:25]their children so he made sure that the money is invested back

[44:34]on the people 3 he fought corruption 4 he made sure that

[44:38]the investments are made wisely no favors these are at the bank

[44:48]the ways that Imam Ali ibn ABI Talib Ali Salim managed to

[44:53]fight poverty I wish there would be some people who would actually

[44:57]invest time in studying a PhD thesis about the system of Imam

[45:03]Ali ibn ABI Taleb and eradicating poverty and presenting it to the

[45:09]World Health Organization to the United Nations to the World Economic Forum

[45:14]and presenting them with these ideas here there you go these are

[45:22]plausible solutions as how we can fight against poverty if you reduce

[45:27]poverty then that would automatically reduce terrorism because then you have a

[45:33]lot more educated people you have me people with better knowledge better

[45:38]understanding and hence that would or you know automatically lead to a

[45:42]peaceful world all that was taught to us by him on a

[45:47]leave Navi Atlanta Valley and Sela but unfortunately we don't appreciate it

[45:53]and we never invested enough time to study it so if we

[45:57]follow the system of Imam Ali of navigated we can eradicate world

[46:01]poverty we can bring justice we can bring peace and then there

[46:09]will be left this minority group who will always want to cause

[46:13]problems and instead of spending 1.7 trillion dollars on war we may

[46:17]have to spend a fraction of that amount just to control that

[46:24]little fraction group then you will increase the education you'll help the

[46:30]people sustain the people one day he was walking on the streets

[46:34]of Kufa he finds a beggar someone who's begging on the street

[46:37]his question was what is this they told him yeah Imam Ali

[46:46]Amir al-mumineen he is a Christian man he's not a Muslim he

[46:49]used to work but now that he's grown older you know he

[46:51]doesn't have a job so that's why he's begging on the street

[46:55]he says you guys worked with him when he was young and

[46:58]had the energy and now that he's older you let him beg

[47:03]on the streets that doesn't happen in my state and he turns

[47:05]to his Minister of Finance we may call that Secretary of Finance

[47:11]and he tells them you immediately find him a house and you

[47:16]assign him the monthly salary that will suffice him and his family

[47:22]and notice imam ali ali salem did not ask who is this

[47:24]that was the answer he was given he is a christian man

[47:28]but he didn't ask who is this his question was what is

[47:33]this in other words what is this phenomena why do I see

[47:39]a beggar on the street that is something strange that is not

[47:43]something common it's something unique which suggests there were no beggars at

[47:47]the time of Imam Ali of Mahakali no people who are in

[47:52]poverty and when he notices something that looked different it was not

[47:57]something used you know he was used to so he immediately dealt

[48:06]with it he dealt with people justly fairly kindly mercifully and one

[48:11]group of people that he really looked after we're the orphans orphans

[48:17]they don't have a father to look after them that's why my

[48:21]brothers and sisters if you guys can sponsor orphans go ahead and

[48:26]do so the time of edentia light is coming pretty soon many

[48:30]of us alhamdulillah we're blessed with parents who can buy us some

[48:34]gifts on the time of aid they present us with some presents

[48:38]and we celebrate with them but there are millions of children out

[48:41]there unfortunately have lost their parents or have lost their father and

[48:45]they don't have anyone to bring them nice clothings they see people

[48:50]celebrating but they don't have which is very painful god forbid but

[48:57]try to put yourself in their shoes imagine you see other people

[49:01]there wearing nice clothes or celebrating and you can't afford it and

[49:04]you're still wearing your old clothes if you can help send them

[49:10]a basket Eid present eight gifts try to sponsor them even when

[49:18]he was on his deathbed he told imam al hassan and imam

[49:23]hussain ali him as salam Allah Allah will I Tom take care

[49:25]of the orphans and this message was not fully mom has an

[49:29]imam is it them suppose was for us mom has an imam

[49:31]husain IM salaam they don't need to be reminded to take care

[49:34]of the orphans we do so when he was truck salam ala

[49:45]hele by the sword of abdul hamid animaljam and he was brought

[49:51]to his house the orphans of the city of Kufa learned that

[50:04]their protector their helper their supporter has been hurt so they gather

[50:12]around his house they gather around his door and they start crying

[50:17]where is our Father that's what they used to call him father

[50:21]because he was like a father figure to them he would come

[50:25]to them as I mentioned last night in one of the stories

[50:28]where he would come and feed them himself with his own hands

[50:33]he would play with them he would take care of them he

[50:36]would feed them he would look after them so they felt that

[50:40]he is just like their father so they gathered around his house

[50:45]crying where is our father mom and Hassan Salameh here they came

[50:50]out he sees all these orphans gathered around his house and he

[50:58]cries and he says go pray for Amir one minion salam ala

[51:01]ali go make dua that may Allah cure him he's in pain

[51:08]the sword of Abdul Rahman emulsion that struck Imam Ali ibn ABI

[51:13]Talib was kept poisoned with a very severe poison so Imam al

[51:21]hassan an imam al-hussein alayhim as-salam bring a doctor and they tell

[51:29]him can you examine our father Ameer al-mumineen salam ala hele the

[51:36]doctor takes a specific vein from the kidney of a sheep he

[51:46]takes this vein and he inserts it into the wound of amirul

[51:50]mumineen alehissalaam and he picks it up he looks at it and

[51:58]he starts crying they tell him what is the matter he turns

[52:01]to Imam Ali Ali has Salaam and he says yeah I mean

[52:06]era had a duck what I'll say was say attack for another

[52:11]but AHA the lion was Allah Allah omer asik says yeah Ameer

[52:28]has gone too deep into your body you're not going to survive

[52:31]this one when imam al has sent an imam and her saying

[52:38]heard this they started crying and when the doctor left zeyneb alaihe

[52:41]salam came into the room along with his with her sister o

[53:02]them and he says my dear children do not cry I'm going

[53:35]the Companions of Imam Ali o be a pile of alehissalaam while

[53:38]sitting behind the door when he hear the cries he also started

[53:45]crying imam al hassan came out and said why are you sitting
