[3:36]hada wama kana Lina has an elo lonja Don Allah Ahmad atop

[3:43]a yacht Roman Dini Virginia ba e ma Masada alehissalaam faced intense

[3:54]persecution persecution of two types intellectual persecution as well as physical persecution

[4:03]and torture many would not imagine this considering when we normally talk

[4:09]about the biography of Imam asada alayhis-salam in many of our mosques

[4:12]around the world there is this image that Imam asada alaih-is-salaam did

[4:16]not face the trials and the distress that other Imams faced but

[4:21]the reality of how much pressure and how much persecution and how

[4:29]much torture Imam asada alehissalaam face can be seen with the amount

[4:33]of traditions there are and the employment of sofia sofia comes from

[4:37]the root where kaya and allows us to understand the form of

[4:41]protection that a person must employ in their lives to avoid harm

[4:46]if you look at the word Sofia it's similar to the word

[4:49]tawa-tawa you seek to be protected from committing sin or you seek

[4:56]to be protected from disobeying Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and therefore you

[5:01]become God conscious Satya is again a protection but a protection from

[5:05]the harm of the animals that live around you yes you may

[5:10]call them human beings but in this world there are more animals

[5:12]than there are human beings it's very rare to find human beings

[5:18]in this world who have compassion who have mercy who are tolerant

[5:22]of one another's opinion what we really find ourselves surrounded by our

[5:26]animals who are ready to assassinate you at any time yes they

[5:29]may believe in the same Shahada that you believe in they may

[5:35]say a shadow la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna muhammadan rasul allah

[5:39]salallahu alaihe wa but you'll find these same people may differ with

[5:43]you for example over a person who's not an infallible but to

[5:46]them he's someone important if they see that you don't have the

[5:52]respect that they have for him or the adoration that they have

[5:54]for him then they're ready to kill you they're ready to behead

[5:59]you because at the end of day when we hear for example

[6:01]of Shia phobia and the number of Shia who have been killed

[6:07]in for example places like Afghanistan or like Pakistan and the crime

[6:12]that they committed was their identity that they were Shia and the

[6:16]fellow Muslims were the ones who beheaded them the ones who poisoned

[6:19]them the ones who bombed them you find therefore that a person

[6:24]may at times have to employ it's a failure because they have

[6:28]to protect themselves from the Verado from the harm that surrounds them

[6:32]wherever they may be even in our own lives my own life

[6:38]there are times when you find that you live amongst people who

[6:41]are ready to kill you ready to assassinate you ready to send

[6:45]you death threats because you differ with what they believe they believe

[6:51]that their opinion is the only opinion and that their narrative is

[6:54]the only narrative and if you differ with that narrative then they're

[6:58]ready to kill you it may be in a Middle Eastern country

[7:02]or it may be in the West they'll be there ready to

[7:05]assassinate you therefore you find that Satya is employed because a person

[7:09]recognizes that they have to survive and that God has given them

[7:17]some leeway to be able to survive in such moments Sofia at

[7:20]times may of course be something which is why Jim and at

[7:26]times it may be something Haram someone says how could Sofia be

[7:30]both why Jim and Haram obligatory and prohibited tukya when it is

[7:37]something which is obligatory it's for example if I'm gonna put the

[7:39]life of a mushroom in danger I'm the companion of a mushroom

[7:45]and if I reveal my teachings I reveal my beliefs in front

[7:49]of the animals that surround me then they could end up assassinating

[7:55]the Imam of my time so it becomes wider than on me

[7:58]to dissimulate to conceal what I believe in then certainly at times

[8:03]may be haram it may be something prohibited but if I for

[8:06]example I'm a scholar and although I may be living in a

[8:12]dangerous circumstance I end up praising certain personalities more than any of

[8:17]the praise they deserve simply because I'm in this difficult circumstance but

[8:22]the same time I end up missed guiding so many then sathya

[8:29]at that time becomes Haram and that's why you find that in

[8:32]the Muslim world today some Muslims and non-muslims don't understand the employment

[8:37]of Satya in our lives you'll find that there are some Muslims

[8:42]and non-muslims who don't understand why it is that we believe in

[8:45]something yeah some of the Muslims for example say the Jews she

[8:51]I believe in Sofia that means that you're liars otherwise why would

[8:55]you believe in something like chatter yeah and some non-muslims also saying

[9:00]that you can never trust a Muslim because you don't know if

[9:03]that Muslim is using something here or is in a state job

[9:09]setting here and that's why it is not a far cry for

[9:13]a person to say that Imam Assad alehissalaam had a public face

[9:17]and a private face a mama's father alayhis-salam had a public face

[9:23]and a private face a public with those who ruled over him

[9:27]and a private face with those who were close to him with

[9:32]those who ruled over him there is a public face he has

[9:34]to give and he explains why he had to have the public

[9:39]face with the Halawa who ruled over him because over ten falafels

[9:42]of islamic history over ten kali ruled over imam asada his sena

[9:51]why would he need to have a public face with them and

[9:53]then he has a private face with his own companions that's like

[9:58]why sometimes you'll even see that there are supplications Imam Assad that

[10:04]would say publicly in front of the government of the time and

[10:09]there may be supplications he says privately amongst his own companions why

[10:14]because even he himself has to ensure that the nether hab is

[10:18]protected from all harm and that his life is protected from all

[10:25]harm this image therefore that Imam asada alayhis-salam is the Imam who

[10:29]had the most freedom and as the Imam was not persecuted tonight

[10:33]I'll show you that Imam Espada alayhis-salam faced persecution faced torture face

[10:40]prison and I will add one more line he faced a burning

[10:46]similar to the burning of the house of his grandmother let us

[10:51]examine tonight the persecution and torture which Imam Sadiq lays salaam faced

[10:56]which makes him more incredible considering the amount of traditions he left

[11:00]and the amount of work that he did and I'd like to

[11:04]do this on the following stages number one when imam sadiq said

[11:09]satya is from my religion and the religion of my forefathers what

[11:14]was the context in which Imam asada alehissalaam said this line number

[11:19]two when he refers to his forefathers which prophets of Allah and

[11:24]which companions of prophets had to protect themselves by concealing their beliefs

[11:31]in order that they were able to stay alive and of the

[11:37]examples how was the example of amar many other than the Quran

[11:41]the clearest example number three when Imam saw the face persecution and

[11:46]therefore had to be in a state of the simulation how were

[11:52]his closest people sometimes the cause of that persecution and how is

[11:56]it in life that you're closest are the ones who may get

[12:02]you in the most difficulties number four how did Imam asada alaysalam

[12:07]even sometimes call his companions Liars to protect their own life number

[12:13]five how did imam asada Holly Salaam even make it clear that

[12:18]sometimes look at a narration if it agrees with the government don't

[12:25]take it for it may be done and said under a state

[12:27]of SATA yeah number six and of the utmost importance how did

[12:33]in Mansour the one who assassinated Imam Asad Ali Salaam make it

[12:36]clear to him that don't think you're gonna have an easy ride

[12:39]even the trees outside your house I'm gonna cut all of them

[12:45]so that you are hurt and that even the rivers I'll make

[12:48]dry and number seven how did the will of Imam Asad highlight

[12:54]the pressures that he faced and how did al-mansour burn his house

[12:57]and what happened on the day when imams house was burnt that

[13:04]shortly afterwards led to his assassination let's examine this and dissect the

[13:09]topic and complete depth it's at a year tremendous medina by Sofia

[13:14]is from my religion and the religion of my forefathers is a

[13:20]huge line of Imam Asad Ali Salaam the Imam has a number

[13:24]of lines on top a year nine-tenths of religion a shield for

[13:27]the believer but this particular hadith of Tangier highlights how chuckling here

[13:32]politically was a tool which can be used to protect us from

[13:39]harm why because the abbasids no doubt knew that imam as-sadiq was

[13:44]a major problem for them and if they didn't keep an eye

[13:49]on him ah Masada alayhis-salam he could have caused the revolution to

[13:54]happen against them the way they did a revolution against the Umayyads

[13:57]they knew on the first level that Imam Sadiq alaysalam believed he

[14:01]was the Imam not them they knew that very well but imam

[14:06]sadiq ali salam was the one who was claiming that Imam it

[14:08]was for the sons of any of them Italian because they knew

[14:13]that Imams you say the greatest Eid in Islam is Adel Qadir

[14:16]when you say Idol Guardian is the greatest aid in Islam greater

[14:22]than AHA greater than felt you what are you saying you're making

[14:26]clear listen the way liar of us the Imams is the greatest

[14:28]blessing Allah subhana WA Ta'ala gave to complete the message of the

[14:35]Holy Prophet and ensure that it was purified so they knew that

[14:38]Imam Asad Ali Salim believed that he was the Imam they also

[14:45]knew Imam had a state within a state homes because they knew

[14:48]that financially if you were gonna have a revolution you need money

[14:51]to have a revolution no revolution can survive unless or can be

[14:59]successful unless a person either has money with them or he has

[15:02]the support of the people and if you have both of them

[15:05]then you have the perfect combination coal's would be paid to the

[15:10]imams and especially towards Imam asada alayhis-salam now that the followers of

[15:13]ahlulbayt hallo hallo assalamu alaikum had gone towards Kufa to baghdad to

[15:18]parts of Iran with the HRE tribe and so what you had

[15:23]therefore was people knew that Bassets knew that this man not only

[15:26]knows that he is the Imam but also has homes coming to

[15:33]him as then there was a lot of persecution of the ulama

[15:38]of the Shia because many governments knew that Holmes was a powerful

[15:42]tool for the Holliman you could have a state within a state

[15:44]and so these governments knew that him on Assad up was receiving

[15:51]homes that Imam assad i the network underground movement known as a

[15:56]Tom Lee Miceli or the way Kaila we had people who were

[15:59]collecting homes on his behalf therefore knowing these true they wanted to

[16:05]make sure that they kept an eye on him a Mossad rezulin

[16:08]it didn't help that Imam Assad's cousins were the ones doing all

[16:11]the revolutions in homicide that's uncle's aid his cousin yeah hey Ivan's

[16:15]aid his cousin for example Abdullah the son of mass or for

[16:21]example Hamid Neve Suzuki these were people doing revolution so that's keep

[16:26]an eye on the side - from Imam al Hassan's line and

[16:28]on the Imams from Imam Hossein ELISA Lam's line now therefore when

[16:32]it came to that the caliphs would keep an eye on the

[16:36]Imam if the Imam was to do something opposite to the Caliph

[16:41]then that would be the end of the Imam imagine you have

[16:46]to live your life tiptoeing from many oh my year to many

[16:50]a bus and remember Benny a bus have no friends many of

[16:53]us a boost elements and learn how much he worked for them

[16:58]it's a far killed him but Muslims understand how much he worked

[17:01]for them and once ordered him to be so how about you

[17:05]mama start alehissalaam if your own generals you're ready to pop them

[17:08]anytime so what are you gonna do with the imam as-sadiq alehissalaam

[17:11]Imam aside do all of this the government's also new publicly if

[17:16]the molana is with us if the item is with us then

[17:22]who's gonna say a word to us so they knew that if

[17:27]the hilum does need the same day we joined or the Maulana

[17:30]does eat the same way with your age nobody's gonna have a

[17:35]problem Imam Assad as alayhis-salam was sitting with safar safar was the

[17:40]first khalifa many a bus when he was sitting his stuff I

[17:42]asked him a question when and in the holy month of Ramadan

[17:48]at the end he asked him I want to ask you are

[17:55]you fasting on this day why - a safar it was 8

[17:56]now you know as we all know more than ever in our

[18:01]lives can be two days for example it's safar asked mr masada

[18:06]alehissalaam told me are you fasting on this day hey mama Sadiq

[18:12]looked at the sofa he could see everyone looking he turned round

[18:16]and what did he say he said if you the rule of

[18:22]us then we fast and if you break then we break the

[18:28]moment is safar heard that he bought food in front of him

[18:31]a massage Ali Salam I asked you my Masada this is easy

[18:34]for him how difficult is it for you he put through the

[18:39]runaway is that imama sudden began change a masada turn ranchers companion

[18:43]is that I swear that today is one of the days of

[18:51]the holy month of Ramadan but I would rather pay back this

[18:55]fast I would rather have my neck cut not cut so that's

[19:03]Allah subhana WA China is worshiped listen to this line I would

[19:07]rather pay back this fast and because at the end a we

[19:12]know very well if it's a day of fasting you can't break

[19:13]your vows can you but the government is saying it's the day

[19:17]of I he said I would rather pay back this fast and

[19:22]not have my neck cut because of it so that's Allah subhana

[19:25]WA Ta'ala maybe worship what does he mean he means if I

[19:30]now lose my life at this moment people will not be able

[19:33]to worship Allah the way Allah should be worshipped rather if I

[19:39]now because of this protect myself that I have to eat what

[19:42]after eat that's why we believe in Islamic law pork is Haram

[19:44]don't you agree we cannot eat pork if someone puts a gun

[19:50]on my head and says to me that you eat this pork

[19:54]or I'll kill you then in that moment what do I do

[20:00]I'm protecting my life and there in the order of Islamic law

[20:04]preservation of one's life comes the highest so at that moment what

[20:07]do I do and that moment I turn around and I end

[20:09]up eating if someone for example tells me that alcohol are we

[20:15]allowed to drink alcohol in Islam no we're not but if someone

[20:18]puts a gun on my head and tells me that either you

[20:22]drink this alcohol or I'll shoot you am I allowed to drink

[20:25]that alcohol yes I am why because I am preserving my life

[20:30]at that moment or if someone tells me it puts a gun

[20:35]on my head and tells me curse the Holy Prophet peace be

[20:37]upon him is remedy normally am I allowed to curse Russell the

[20:40]lhasa Allah Allahu Allah am I allowed to say a bad word

[20:46]about my prophet sallallaahu Lee Wei Lee no but if someone puts

[20:48]a gun on my head where somewhere in Syria or somewhere in

[20:54]Iraq or somewhere in Afghanistan or somewhere in Pakistan amongst the animalistic

[20:59]Muslims that live there are some humans but there are mainly a

[21:03]lot who are ready to kill at any moment he puts a

[21:07]gun on your head and says for example curse Ali at that

[21:10]moment what do I do am I allowed true I'm allowed it's

[21:17]an option why because of preservation Imam afar Holly Salam if it

[21:21]was a day of fasting would you normally break his fast he

[21:25]wouldn't then why was he doing it I'll make up the fast

[21:29]so that my neck is not cut some people could worship allah

[21:32]subhanho wa taala properly therefore when imam oh sorry Allison said etc

[21:39]chul-min Dini Sathya is part of religion not the whole of religion

[21:44]at Zakia - Mindy knee wet Dini our body and the religion

[21:50]of who my forefathers what does he mean that even prophets of

[21:54]Allah who came before us Imams even they did yeah to preserve

[22:02]the teachings of a religion even to preserve their life for example

[22:06]a momma started says maybe Abraham did - yeah he was doing

[22:09]Satya once saying he was ill never use of the chatter yeah

[22:15]when his brother was caught with the goblet in the story of

[22:17]Yusuf and he wanted to keep his brother I don't know who's

[22:20]put that there that is concealing likewise in the story of movement

[22:26]alpha own when the movement of alpha own came and he came

[22:33]forward and said that I don't believe in the Lord of Musa

[22:36]inside himself there was what was he doing kids man in surah

[22:40]40 verse number 28 he was concealing what he believed now someone

[22:45]might turn around and say why are you lying it's not lying

[22:48]if I don't find out that this person believed in most of

[22:50]what would happen to him kill him so when he comes and

[22:55]he says for example the Quran says Jarrah gentleman and if our

[22:58]own when that person comes from the family of her own and

[23:03]he comes and says what he comes and tells the people believing

[23:06]in the Lord of Musa later on he gets executed but before

[23:12]that he concealed his belief then you have for example who you

[23:16]have the example of a marble Yasser Hammar vinyasa a prime example

[23:21]of someone who had to do something here to survive he had

[23:28]animals around him like Abu jahil like Abu Sufyan like for example

[23:36]Walid al mahira and Abu Lahab they caught Ahmad they caught his

[23:41]mother Sameach they caught his father Yasser when they caught them in

[23:44]those days you know how much they tortured them they would torture

[23:47]you severely they wouldn't leave you alone those were the early days

[23:53]of Islam those early days of Islam were coupled with tapia even

[23:57]the Prophet peace be upon his family in the early days was

[23:59]told not to reveal everything there are certain things you have to

[24:02]conceal don't let the companions tell everybody what they believe because it

[24:07]will bring them harm until allah subhanaw taala slowly tells him to

[24:12]go on take out the mission to the people of Mecca when

[24:14]the mission went out to the people of Mecca they started to

[24:19]catch those who were loyal to the Prophet peace be upon him

[24:22]Lee who did they catch they captured Yasser they captured so my

[24:26]yeah and they captured Ahmad imagine in front of you you see

[24:33]your parents being beaten imagine in front of you you see your

[24:36]parents being tortured imagine in front of you you see your parents

[24:43]being whipped your parents being kicked imagine you see that in front

[24:47]of you yes sir and so my year now the essence from

[24:49]a year when abu jahal was torturing them they had an option

[24:55]that if they were told say you don't believe in muhammed sallalahu

[24:58]i say you don't believe in allah subhana wa ta'ala could they

[25:03]have said we don't believe in allah we don't believe in the

[25:05]Prophet yes they could to protect themselves they could have done something

[25:08]here where they conceal or they utter with their tongue that's which

[25:14]is different from what's in their heart so what Hammond was could

[25:21]they have done that they could have but no no way they

[25:23]didn't want their tongue to utter something different from their heart legally

[25:28]an Islamic law they could have said we don't believe in Allah

[25:34]we don't believe in the Prophet you're allowed to because if someone's

[25:36]got a spear and about to rip open your stomach of course

[25:40]you're allowed to that's a matter where you're allowed to conceal so

[25:44]my ear said I believe in Lila and Allah and I believe

[25:49]in Muhammad The Messenger of Allah Allah Allah while the assam said

[25:52]exactly the same lines they said what will kill you kill us

[25:57]and they came with their spear they ripped open this stomachs with

[26:01]the spear these two had the legal ability to be able to

[26:07]turn around and say that we don't believe and their heart believes

[26:10]in Allah and His Prophet but they decided that no that's an

[26:15]option there's no doubt I'm sure his mother's from a year and

[26:19]his father yes they're being tortured when he saw them being tortured

[26:22]a mark could of easily at that moment said that I'm gonna

[26:28]go the same way as them but he decided not to when

[26:30]they told him curser I sort of lost my law anyone he

[26:35]cursed him and when they told him to say that he doesn't

[26:42]believe in the Lord of the Prophet he said I don't believe

[26:43]in the Lord o prophet they said okay well done good boy

[26:48]now we take off the robe from your arms you're free to

[26:51]go he went to the Prophet peace be upon him and his

[26:54]family was crying he said yeah her son Allah I did something

[27:01]wallah my heart doesn't mean it so what is it he said

[27:03]ya rasulallah I saw my parents tortured in front of me and

[27:08]I couldn't take what was happening to them so all prophets of

[27:12]God when they said to me to cursed you I cursed you

[27:17]and when they said to me do you believe in the Lord

[27:19]of Muhammad's Allah I said I don't believe but my heart is

[27:25]that it believes my heart is certain I love you Yara so

[27:30]I love my lord the I came down straightaway surah 16 verse

[27:34]106 bismillah ar-rahman rahim allah mango kriya what can the home of

[27:43]my own humble Eman there are those who leave religion they disbelieve

[27:47]but there are those who are compelled to say they don't believe

[27:52]while their heart believes look how beautiful this ayah ayah which was

[27:58]revealed in honor of amar why amar his heart believed what is

[28:04]the difference between a moon effect and don't area moon effect you

[28:09]say you believe your heart doesn't believe just like yeah publicly you

[28:13]say I don't believe what does your heart do believe so what

[28:19]you had here was that I'm Arminius an imam as-sadiq when you

[28:22]said 'it's after year to Mindy where Dini Arbor II softly yes

[28:25]from my religion not just my religion don't just say only me

[28:29]I'm employing it because the Abbasids are persecuting us but before me

[28:37]the movement of Alf around before me abou polym before me I'm

[28:42]Marvin Yasser likewise in the Quran Allah mentioned something here clearly with

[28:47]the derivatives of the word Zakia where if anyone asks you show

[28:51]me the words okay yeah all its roots or its derivatives in

[28:53]the Quran surah 3 verse 28 when a lot of man and

[28:59]I'm lighter than manual carefully now only I am enjoying al mumineen

[29:02]I'm al Danica fillets I'm in a life is shane inland centric

[29:07]woman home to heart Ted Taku min home chalk art can you

[29:12]get any word closer to chipiya in your life Ted choco men

[29:16]whom took art what did the ayah say do not do not

[29:22]let the believers o you believers you should not take the disbelievers

[29:26]as your guardians ahead of the believers whoever does that is not

[29:33]in the pleasure of Allah except if they are protecting themselves from

[29:40]harm if I now take a kafir a disbeliever in context of

[29:45]the Quran I take someone as my guardian ahead of the believers

[29:50]Allah Allah will not be happy that I have fellow movements I

[29:52]can help and I take the disbeliever above however if I do

[29:54]that because I'm under difficulty or duress or coercion or persecution or

[30:01]torture then that can be done therefore Imam Ali said I want

[30:09]to be highlight me breaking my fast that day knowing that it's

[30:13]still the holy month of Ramadan just some of you you might

[30:21]say how could you you're an imam but he knew that the

[30:23]government is watching his every step in life when does the day

[30:29]you get done when you have animals in power or animals who

[30:33]surround you who are watching your every step their cycle psychologically even

[30:39]psychologically obsessed with you and everything that you do to the extent

[30:44]that they're ready to kill you if they see you these aren't

[30:47]humans these are animals walking on the face of the earth what

[30:51]do you do with an animal honestly if I tell you that

[30:53]there is a jungle wouldn't you try and preserve your life when

[30:57]I see certain people who are crazy around you find that certain

[31:00]people will hold back they will hold back to protect themselves and

[31:04]have to conceal certain areas Imam Asad Ali Salaam what led to

[31:08]more trouble for him was that okay the Khalifa has seen me

[31:15]eating and I have told my companion that it is not eat

[31:19]it is still the last day of the holy month of Ramadan

[31:21]but that I've done it to make sure that my neck is

[31:25]not cut so that Allah is worship properly with me living longer

[31:28]but you bought him more trouble sometimes your own cousins when they

[31:33]open their big mouths sometimes your own family when they open their

[31:38]big mouths in the wrong time in the wrong place can bring

[31:43]you immense difficulty sure it can happen you had for example amongst

[31:46]the Mamas are doves own cousins you had those who stabbed Imam

[31:50]asada halasana you imagine we think Imam Assad up was relaxed Masada

[31:55]was just sitting in classes teaching person the miracle of amount of

[31:59]Sodom success is with all the pressures what he gave back his

[32:05]own cousin Hassan when Ali enough bus was the support of Abdullah

[32:09]the son of man who I mentioned earlier he wanted him on

[32:14]the side of her eyes he wanted him asylum to revolt imam

[32:16]as-sadiq knew that the shia that time were not ready for such

[32:20]a move that even the Shia are supposedly like Abu Salim L

[32:23]shall and others who were meant to be loyal to the end

[32:27]inmates in one way were killed so this has sent Ben Ali

[32:29]love bus ends up stabbing Imam Sadiq would you believe on a

[32:33]night like this on a night like this the night of the

[32:35]martyrdom of imam sadiq ali salam would you believe Mr Masada as

[32:40]he was dying he turned around to one of the ladies in

[32:42]the household he said to her gives 70d not to him she

[32:47]said Imam he had tried to stab you these were the people

[32:52]who were not hiding in any way not concealing they were open

[32:55]in their animosity causing so much trouble for the Imams of muhammad's

[32:59]allah jalla wa sallam ala him he said give him seventy dinner

[33:05]I owe him why he said she said why him he replied

[33:09]he is my relative I don't want to be of those who

[33:11]are la condoms that's if you have something old to a relative

[33:15]there so let's arrive even if someone tries to stab you there

[33:19]is still maintaining relations with family members so on the one side

[33:22]Imam asada had to see the brutality of who the brutality of

[33:27]his own family members and some of their decision making which was

[33:32]getting others in a state of difficulty on the other side who

[33:34]did you have some of his own companions I will kebab for

[33:40]example I will kebab instead of certain moments way Imam didn't want

[33:44]everyone to open up about certain beliefs people don't understand all the

[33:50]esoteric teachings let alone the exoteric teachings you would find for example

[33:55]that apple kebab he decides to speak up brings even more difficulty

[33:58]to imam sadiq ali asana and when he brings that difficulty on

[34:02]imam asada alayhis-salam you found that al khattab gets the mom in

[34:09]trouble imam asada was imprisoned because of these people because according to

[34:14]some a hadith of Mohammed Neff Suzuki because of people like this

[34:18]they put him a Masada can prison there are people who imagine

[34:22]that Imam al Karim Allah is Salam is the Imam who mainly

[34:25]was in prison imam sadiq ali salam was imprisoned in my own

[34:32]research three times imagine my homicide occurred my research was moved from

[34:36]prison to prison to prison to prison let's say four times over

[34:40]a 15 year period not 15 years in a row but over

[34:45]that period a mammal column was imprisoned by the Abbasid the Abbasids

[34:49]had made an example of prison beginning with who beginning with imam

[34:53]Assad at Holly as salam imam as-sadiq Allah's Salam was sent to

[34:57]prison three times Abu Hanifa was sent to prison as well Malik

[35:01]mañana's was sent to prison I met Ben humble later on a

[35:06]commitment on bail was sent to prison the Abbasid not have a

[35:09]problem you are my enemy I have a problem I have a

[35:14]doubt about your cousin's I have a doubt about your companions that's

[35:17]why I believe more in lab in Hornets more iLab info names

[35:20]companion Masada because he revealed some of the teachings of in Muhammad

[35:24]sada they saw him as a threat they executed him as well

[35:29]so you had the Companions of Imam asada Hani Salaam some of

[35:32]them got him in trouble others were executed and that's why Imam

[35:36]Assad a place that I'm with some of his companions he would

[35:40]call him a liar hold on a minute he would say this

[35:46]person is not even one of us this person is a disbeliever

[35:48]say hold on Imam talks about zora like that we're gonna come

[35:53]and shut Allah with the two nights of lectures we have after

[35:58]tonight to look at also the Companions of Imam of service and

[36:00]many of us have neglected the Companions thus have of Imam Sadiq

[36:03]alehissalaam the ones who continued his legacy after he died when someone

[36:08]says wallah I saw a hadith it says that this companion Imam

[36:11]Sadiq was called a liar and that companion is a disbeliever well

[36:16]there is amongst them those who were called that's why so that

[36:21]the government doesn't go and take them and kill them if he

[36:24]mama saw the curses one of his companions supposes you see that

[36:28]companion that company is cursed cursed so that nobody comes and takes

[36:34]that companion because of an accusation that he was close to Jafar

[36:37]al-sadiq a.s allah because they would start to look whose imam assad

[36:40]up circle i who are the group around the imam as-sadiq alayhis-salam

[36:45]who are the ones preserving his message in some cases in my

[36:50]Masonic would curse someone people would be like oh my god that

[36:53]means that Imam Sadiq hates that no mama sadhaks protecting him because

[36:59]he knows that they're keeping an eye how many of you remember

[37:01]the story of ali bin yes clean with him our milk our

[37:04]them when he tells him to do over washing his feet and

[37:06]a lavinia clean is wandering but i'm sure that we do although

[37:11]wiping our feet because he knew that the government was scrutinizing his

[37:16]every action didn't we say yesterday on one and mostly when he

[37:19]means if i was party mom says on one you have to

[37:22]leave me to my prayers because at the moment the government is

[37:25]keeping an eye on me on the government is looking at my

[37:31]every move which means they're looking at your every move as well

[37:34]and that's why i'm a masonic sometimes as I mentioned earlier in

[37:37]the lecture an answer of Imam Assad them it depends where the

[37:43]answer is given if I see true a hadith for example and

[37:44]they still discussed this by the way in helmand law school and

[37:49]in for example areas of hadith Sciences that Imam asada gives an

[37:52]on such one question one day like this another question another day

[37:54]like this what do you do imagine you see mama suddenly said

[38:00]I'm saying that this is for example allowed then you see one

[38:02]day it says this is ma cruel what you do you think

[38:05]hold on your mama sided someone might say well you know what

[38:07]maybe that's other Hadees that it's not is not as strong as

[38:13]this one maybe it's a key yeah it's also being involved because

[38:15]in front of you I give this answer because if I don't

[38:20]give this on some front of you you're gonna harass me you're

[38:22]gonna say you're not going with government policy if now you found

[38:27]true a hadith in a book and one honeydew mamas I'd have

[38:34]said that for example alcohol is par here another highly strained alcohol

[38:40]is nature's both of them are who a mama sonically is Salam

[38:43]so how do i reconcile this if there is a hadith that

[38:48]says alcohol is far ahead and a hadith that says alcohol is

[38:52]nature's balisok alassad what do you do one of them possibly I'm

[38:56]not saying the be-all and end-all this is the conclusion but one

[39:01]of them possibly in front of the government and answer is given

[39:04]and the other one in front of his shia answer is given

[39:08]because there are certain things if you say you're against them what's

[39:14]the government gonna do to you finish you if Imam asada it

[39:17]doesn't do eat with the government then what they gonna do with

[39:20]him and kill him sure so Mr Masada has to eat that

[39:26]day doesn't he but if your mama sada says what that's 8

[39:28]is a different day look at the difference today and compare it

[39:33]to Imam Assad of time today in the Middle East you may

[39:35]have a country that says today is it for this school but

[39:40]not for that school do you agree in that time if you're

[39:42]not going with the imam or the holly is not the imams

[39:47]not going with the khalifa you could easily be killed and that's

[39:49]why I advise all of you my dear from the sisters if

[39:53]there's one thing I advise you read the chapter on Tapia in

[39:57]al-kafi read the chapter on Tapia in ELQ officially this book al-kafi

[40:06]has so many treasures and wallah we've neglected them and I've seen

[40:13]masha'Allah the translation of al-kafi which was done recently by Shara one

[40:18]heiress to which people are able to order it at least allows

[40:20]you the glimpse of a sorrel caffee go to the chapter on

[40:25]Sofia do you know what stage we reached don't narrate the merits

[40:28]of a holly and fatima allah Imam Ali Allah's Salam and fatima

[40:36]zahra is they don't narrate there Mary did you ever think we'd

[40:41]reach a stage a hundred years after a Salah lhasa imam ali

[40:44]we agree because there was lana being done on him on the

[40:49]pulpits that we know but even far what is our listener they

[40:52]were saying the imams were saying do not mention the father of

[40:59]Ali and Fatima who would think that this is the time where

[41:02]a mossad someone says is this for all time you have to

[41:08]judge your situation if you are living in environment where you will

[41:11]be killed if you mention the merits of Imam Ali and Fatima

[41:14]Zahra alayhis-salam then at that moment you have to reassess your environment

[41:18]in your position it doesn't mean that something has to be employed

[41:22]everywhere because some Shia take it too far some became so apologetic

[41:30]without saying anything about history that their sons and daughters forgot that

[41:35]they were Schiavone Mohammed you go to India and Pakistan believe you

[41:38]me there are families 200 years ago they were the purest yeah

[41:41]because of persecution because their families kept on saying there are some

[41:46]families in the Middle East their own parents will say to them

[41:49]don't say your Xie why because we might not get that business

[41:56]contract no no it's a fake Sofia to conceal is in a

[41:59]matter where life and death and there's harm not that I won't

[42:04]chill with Schieffelin and share : otherwise my sons and my daughters

[42:10]won't know their shi hai anymore I've seen in the Middle East

[42:12]in my own eyes Shia who were persecuted to the extent they

[42:17]told their sons and daughters even if you have to fold your

[42:19]hands in Salah we mentioned Malik bananas yesterday believes you put the

[42:23]hands by the side like we believe that you put the hands

[42:25]by the side you find some in the Middle East they tell

[42:30]their children that you don't want to fold your hands doesn't matter

[42:33]the main thing is that we get the business contracts someone says

[42:40]what's in my masala Salaam allowed us to even pray behind Nansha

[42:44]again chipiya is employed firstly for either you have to read I

[42:47]pray behind someone who's not a she ie I can there are

[42:52]numerous traditions about praying behind them but there's a time where somewhere

[42:55]you have to conceal that's why there were difficulties and that's why

[42:59]you'll find today in the rulings of our Marah Jame Allah lengthen

[43:02]their lives they will mention that if you go to a country

[43:08]and you want to pray and you know that if someone sees

[43:12]you for example with your hands by your side and you know

[43:14]that you will be killed because they will say he is there

[43:17]rapidly and they won't call you she ie they'll say he's not

[43:22]actually then at that moment you're allowed to fall John someone says

[43:26]oh there you go you guys are liars we know an Islamic

[43:30]law even a lie is allowed to reconcile people for marriage a

[43:34]lie is allowed for example when a person is life is under

[43:40]threat I come to a country where they kill me because I'm

[43:42]a CIA so am I allowed to fold my hand here so

[43:45]I am if my life is at stake how about do I

[43:49]have to pray on a table or something people realize I'm a

[43:55]sheep because we pray on the earth if they realize I'm a

[43:57]sharing do I have true if it's a place of life or

[44:01]death then no I don't have to I can employ something here

[44:04]one second I repeats a hundred times Tapia was employed because of

[44:09]the presence of animals in the world if these animals acted like

[44:14]the human beings Allah created them we wouldn't need to do it

[44:17]something yeah but because we had wuhush everywhere animals everywhere then Zakia

[44:22]had to be employed so therefore the person saves to me Imam

[44:25]asada on the one hand says visit the sick of the non

[44:30]Shia go to their funerals pray behind them in some cases this

[44:33]is the luck generally the diplomacy generally but in other cases it

[44:39]was also that Sofia would be mentioned because of the oppression that

[44:43]some of Imam Assad's family and companions would be facing and that's

[44:48]why if you want to see the clearest example of the persecution

[44:52]towards imam sadiq ali salam ala Mansour Doheny P what he said

[44:59]to him when Adam unsorted dawnia they called him and he said

[45:02]to him are you the one who claims to know the unseen

[45:07]Imam Asad Ali Salim said Allah is the knower of the unseen

[45:09]he said and you're the one who collects the taxes and then

[45:14]you said let me tell you something the rivers near your house

[45:18]I'll dry them up and the trees near you I'll cut them

[45:21]all up you will have access to nothing I will make that

[45:26]clear to you man Imam Sadiq would reply with all softness and

[45:29]humility darwood and soon a man thanked Allah for what he gave

[45:34]them and that's all that we can do and al-mansour would listen

[45:36]to the sons and said you know what that's a good answer

[45:37]and he'd walk away he'd leave it and then the days came

[45:44]closer towards Imam Assad and his final days because imam sadiq ali

[45:48]salaam of course had to write his will before he dies normally

[45:53]if you're living in a country full of humans not full of

[45:57]animals you could write your will normally can't you you write your

[46:01]will without fear that someone who is around you who says national

[46:05]ila allah wa ashadu anna muhammadan rasul allah but kills you always

[46:09]ready to assassinate you was ready to burn you you would write

[46:15]your will and you think a hundred times Imam asada Holly sallam

[46:20]was living in Medina not far from genital boppo the governor of

[46:24]Medina was Muhammad min sulayman and Mansour adoani headset so Muhammad and

[46:30]Sulaimon go and look at jar for Assad's will lie and go

[46:37]and see who has he put as his successor if Imam it

[46:42]was not important or there was no such thing as a mama

[46:48]why is the Holly for concerned who the successor is he said

[46:51]go and look at the name of who's his successor because normally

[46:55]if you have a will let's say you might write who the

[46:58]one is and when you see who it is killed that person

[47:05]how madness lay one chest out of course I will get this

[47:08]done I'm gonna go I'm gonna see the will of Jaffa Rosanna

[47:13]imagine the great grandson solar laughs and allowing a can't even write

[47:17]a will properly because they want to kill the people around him

[47:24]this is only a hundred and thirty-eight years after a Sunnah Lhasa

[47:29]Allah and a Hawaiian had died when the will was written that

[47:32]person Muhammad knows lay mines think you know what I'm gonna go

[47:35]I'm gonna kill whoever's the first one on that on there whoever's

[47:41]name it is he gets the will of imam as-sadiq first name

[47:46]Mansour and oh I nearly Khalifa second name Muhammad bin Salima has

[47:57]to kill himself third name Hamidah the wife of Imam Sadiq fourth

[48:04]name Abdullah fifth name Musa the Jaffa will carve all goes back

[48:08]to Anna Mansour tells him we have an issue he goes what

[48:12]is it did you kill you ready to kill he goes problem

[48:16]you said to me after I've got to kill whoever's the first

[48:19]name on there he's like yeah kill him he goes that's you

[48:23]and he goes what do you mean that's me he goes he's

[48:27]put five names not one that's why when some people say that

[48:30]there are doubts who were the Imam or who the Imam was

[48:34]after mama sada harih Salam firstly mom's not gonna reveal to everyone

[48:38]you can't trust everyone around but secondly because you've got a holly

[48:40]was ready to assassinate ready to kill if you can kill Abu

[48:45]Salim al-hilal and kill a Muslim on a sunny why would he

[48:47]kill you as well so you found even with the will Imam

[48:51]Assad of couldn't write a will properly because they want to assassinate

[48:55]whoever is his successor but even worse than that and I really

[49:02]never thought we'd go that long now those who say mama Saleh

[49:06]Salam Faced sit with comforts and it was with ease burning his

[49:10]house without a doubt was one of the most difficult moments this

[49:16]story about the burning of the house is a story that drapes

[49:19]all of our hearts why because all of us here Mossad with

[49:25]burning don't win and we all here massage it with fire and

[49:28]if you ever want to know what Imam Asad Ali said I'm

[49:32]faced and I'm sad because I as a Muslim really look at

[49:37]our history and sometimes it breaks my heart when I see our

[49:40]history wallah as I'm not surprised there are books like mad I

[49:43]tell a pilot being very normal my dad's a low poly being

[49:50]the absolute massacres and killings of Abu Talib's grandchildren daughters and sons

[49:55]al-mansour adoani if they wanted to get rid of him a Mossad

[50:01]that he felt that his fame had caught too much so you

[50:04]know what he ordered he ordered hasn't been Zaid to burn the

[50:08]house of him Assad while all the Halloween yet and the follow-up

[50:13]time were in that house Allahu Akbar he ordered that the house

[50:22]is burned imagine him a Masonic assisting in the house and he's

[50:27]reciting the Holy Quran and his wife is there and her sisters

[50:31]for example other girls are they young and old they're all in

[50:37]the house all of a sudden he sees one girl run right

[50:39]across and another run right across and another screaming and another her

[50:46]dress is on fire Allahu Akbar and he looked at them all

[50:50]of a sudden he knew that at that moment he has to

[50:55]employ his will I attack we Nia when he said the lines

[51:01]when he said as Salam o Allah who and when he came

[51:04]forward in those lines and he said I knew brahim el Halil

[51:13]all of a sudden the fire stopped he had gathered all the

[51:21]ladies their dresses were all on fire he was putting it out

[51:26]with whatever water was there but when he called out and Abner

[51:30]Abraham al-khalil at that moment he made two statements why firstly when

[51:35]I say I'm the son of ibrahim el Halil that means whoever's

[51:40]put that is Nimrod there are moments when the Imam say no

[51:45]more Tucker yeah now I'm gonna make it clear he is Nimrod

[51:49]we are the sons of 'ibraheem when he said I never knew

[51:54]Ibrahim alkylene what's he saying I never never draw him a Khalil

[51:57]he's saying it clearly that that is no rude I'm crying but

[52:03]secondly Ibrahim Allah made the fire better than was an AMA likewise

[52:07]when I call out that fire became cold and tranquil but the

[52:11]daughters of Rasul Allah were all sitting shivering in that house they

[52:16]were all scared because imagine they had seen fire they were all

[52:22]running from one side to another and you found the Companions of

[52:25]Imam Asad Ali Salaam the first day after they came to visit

[52:30]him when they came to visit him they noticed that he was

[52:33]crying and crying and they sat with him for a bit they

[52:38]consoled him and they left they heard a few days later still

[52:41]crying normally if the house is gone on fire and you've saved

[52:48]the children you've saved the daughters you'd think that after the first

[52:53]day your tears and then that's it two days three days whew

[52:56]it's all still crying imagine walking into Mr Mossad UPS house and

[53:01]seeing him sitting there with his head between his knees crying Allah

[53:09]why why would this be the case one of his companions looked

[53:11]at him he said Ramona you are Muhammad have faced similar times

[53:16]to this what did he mean he meant your grandmother had her

[53:22]house on fire as well the fire of the door where Fatima

[53:26]was behind the wall and the door for her rib to be

[53:31]crushed that day and Morrison to be miscarried and Hasan and Husayn

[53:35]see their mothers I slapped you I'll Muhammad have seen these moments

[53:41]but why is it that you cry like that wallah these lines

[53:46]affect me every year when iris like them because take your heart

[53:53]to Gen little Bobby on a night like this and remember these

[53:57]lines every year they break our hearts when we remember the words

[54:02]of Imam Sadiq Allah is the man said today mom Oh mom

[54:09]you are the Muhammad have seen fires before this fire and you've

[54:16]seen calamities before this calamity why is it that this one hurts

[54:21]you the most What did he say to him he said Jim

[54:26]oh man oh man it's not the fire that I have no

[54:34]patience over rather when I saw my daughter's running from one side

[54:39]of the house to the other I remembered the state of the

[54:47]daughters of imam hussain under the terms of Muharram when I saw

[54:53]the dress is on fire my thoughts went back to show Cain

[55:03]and the sisters of Sakina when I saw all of them huddled

[55:07]together I remember Zainab carrying all of them when I saw they

[55:14]were calling out why mama Waseda ice thoughts about the voices of

[55:24]those ones of Abby armadillo nights of the 11th of Muharram no

[55:32]doubt that's afternoon of the tens and the night of the eleven

[55:35]that would remain with imam Assad alehissalaam and it's remained with every

[55:39]month that's when they were passing away their thoughts would go back

[55:43]to that place because they remembered that there was a dress on

[55:46]fire they remembered there were girls who were thirsty of them Muhammad

[55:53]Minh Muslim says I saw one of these girls her dress was

[55:55]on fire I came towards her I said to her hey have

[56:00]some water take this water please she looked at me she said

[56:03]to me old man are you with us or are you against

[56:08]us I said sure I am neither with you nor am i
