[6:19]Next, I'd like to invite brother Daw Jaffrey from the Mahabhi Youth
[6:24]Foundation who will give a short presentation just before we invite the
[6:29]s on to the Mimar for his lecture.
[6:30]So, if you can invite before I invite uh Daw there is
[6:37]a short video if you can pay attention to the screens there'll
[6:40]be a short video and then Dood will have a few words
[6:44]inshallah.
[6:45]Assalam alalaykum.
[6:47]After years of dreaming, we have finally found a permanent home for
[6:52]our community.
[6:54]This is the beginning of something powerful.
[6:55]Welcome to my community project by Muibanal Mahi Youth Foundation.
[6:59]Together, we can build a brighter future for all.
[7:02]This won't be just a building.
[7:03]It'll be a space filled with purpose, a hall for events, rooms
[7:08]for learning, sports areas, a place where everyone feels welcome, where you
[7:11]might come as a stranger, but leave as a friend.
[7:16]Since 1994, Mohiban Almethi has been a voice for the youth.
[7:18]We aim to provide career development through the NYF Aspire program, promote
[7:22]health and social well-being through initiatives like the football league and hiking
[7:27]trips through club 313.
[7:28]Over the years, we've delivered programs that uplift from some of the
[7:31]most amazing majalis to a football league that brings together over 200
[7:35]people across 15 teams and interfaith event.
[7:38]This center will help us expand that impact even further.
[7:41]This building isn't just a plan for the future.
[7:43]It's already being used.
[7:45]We have hosted beautiful programs here during Rajab, Shabban, and Fatamia.
[7:50]It's already becoming a spiritual home for many.
[7:51]In Ramadan, we held a 10 night series here with daily iftar
[7:57]for the community.
[7:57]We saw families, elders, students, hundreds joining each night.
[8:00]On Eid, over 500 people came together to celebrate as one family.
[8:06]This space has brought people together like never before.
[8:09]Kids laughing, volunteers serving, elders smiling.
[8:12]For many, this is the first time they felt this connection for
[8:16]their community, especially in English.
[8:18]For the volunteers, being part of Mayaban is more than just giving
[8:22]time.
[8:22]It's about being part of something bigger.
[8:25]They're not just helping out.
[8:26]They're building a legacy.
[8:27]They're building friendships.
[8:28]They're building a family.
[8:31]This center is giving them a sense of purpose and belonging.
[8:34]Volunteering at Muhiban has um enabled me to take initiative to do
[8:38]good outside of my home for my community for the youth of
[8:43]the Shia.
[8:44]Volunteering has really impacted the way I look at the kind of
[8:46]community and what I can give to the community.
[8:51]uh volunteering uh but I'm putting myself uh behind and I'm putting
[8:54]everybody first to the sake of God and the sake of immedi
[9:00]philosophy was community.
[9:17]Sometimes we have these blips of spirituality in our own lives.
[9:22]And when you volunteer and you're giving back to the community, it
[9:26]really gives you a sense of fulfillment.
[9:27]And I feel that's really really done that for me.
[9:30]For me, MF gave me a sense of belonging and gave me
[9:33]a sense of identity because I didn't have a lot of communities
[9:36]where I could rely rely on or go to for support whereas
[9:39]I can do that.
[9:40]Coming from Wales and having no Shia Muslim community around me, it's
[9:44]impacted me greatly.
[9:46]I dedicate my time to helping others through this center which has
[9:49]helped me develop as a person and also made me part of
[9:54]a community I never had as a child.
[9:54]Throughout my whole life the whole community has given a lot to
[9:58]me and now I think it was my turn to give back
[10:01]to the community in terms of like you know religious events and
[10:03]you know things that are going on.
[10:05]Um I just wanted to be a part of the community and
[10:07]to make sure that you know I can provide I can support
[10:09]I can help out wherever I can.
[10:10]It's made me more grateful for what I have.
[10:13]It made me appreciate what um these organizations do for the community
[10:19]um where most of them do it without um asking for rewards,
[10:26]without getting paid.
[10:25]And I I I think it's made me a more humble person.
[10:30]The need for a dedicated English community center is immense.
[10:34]Our youth need a place to thrive.
[10:36]Our elders need a space for spiritual fulfillment.
[10:40]The future is exciting.
[10:41]We want to grow our Islamic school, build stronger youth programs, and
[10:46]launch even more well-being initiatives.
[10:49]We've already secured £650,000 through pledges and donations.
[10:53]To complete this vision, we need your support to raise the remaining
[10:58]£400,000.
[10:57]Your contributions will make this dream a reality.
[11:00]Your support builds a lot more than walls.
[11:03]It builds unity, growth, and hope for the next generation.
[11:06]Alhamdulillah, we have Kumi Jaza from Sayyani and Say Kai.
[11:11]If you would like any further in details, you can visit us
[11:15]on www.mmyfoundation.org.uk/donate.
[11:18]Thank you very much for your time.
[11:36]Dearest brothers, sisters, elders and scholars.
[11:44]You've seen the effort that's gone through to get to this particular
[11:52]stage.
[11:50]The last few nights we had presentations from brother Raza Masum to
[11:57]talk to you about this particular community center.
[12:00]We've spoken about the hurdles that we've overcome.
[12:03]We've spoken about all the trials and tribulations that we've gone through.
[12:08]But alhamdulillah with your support with this particular community we've been able
[12:14]to get to where we are to get to the point that
[12:19]we are able to host you our wonderful community for 10 nights
[12:23]of Maharam and beyond.
[12:25]But it doesn't just stop there.
[12:30]Today I see many new faces in the audience.
[12:34]A lot of you might be coming to my for the first
[12:35]time.
[12:35]A lot of you may have never heard of my before.
[12:39]So I want to take five minutes of your time to speak
[12:45]to you about what my really does, why our work is so
[12:49]crucial and so important in the community itself.
[12:53]And that is due to three pillars.
[12:54]The first is the MYF males program.
[13:01]The second is the MYF Aspire stream and finally club 313.
[13:05]You are sat here today in one of the MYF Malis events.
[13:11]We've been doing majalis since 2009 and throughout the years we've had
[13:19]to rent various different spaces out whether it's a community center, a
[13:22]school or a wedding hall, a banquet hall, wherever we could find
[13:28]some space, we were able to rent it so that we're able
[13:30]to cater for the males, the milads or whatever other Islamic occasion
[13:37]they may have been.
[13:37]A few years ago, some of the brothers decided that it was
[13:43]time that we spend the money a little bit more wisely.
[13:47]The money comes from our dearest community here itself and we were
[13:52]able to utilize that and generate enough funds to buy this particular
[13:58]center.
[13:57]The majalis that you see are not just limited to muharam.
[14:02]You saw in the video we we held a 10 night series
[14:07]in Ramadan.
[14:06]Beyond that we were we host Shaaban programs, programs and many many
[14:15]more.
[14:14]We try and do our best to celebrate and commemorate every single
[14:19]one of the holy personalities and all the sacred months.
[14:22]But it's not just limited to this.
[14:24]Inshallah this will be the first English center in the north that
[14:32]covers every single Islamic occasion throughout the year.
[14:34]And that's only possible with your support.
[14:38]The second stream I wanted to talk about is the MYF Aspire
[14:45]program.
[14:43]My Aspire was launched to try and make sure that the the
[14:49]next generation has the skills and the tool sets to be able
[14:55]to be the leaders of the community going forward.
[14:59]Through my Aspire, we've already held two amazing master classes.
[15:02]one on entrepreneurship, the other on leadership and community development.
[15:06]Both were very well attended.
[15:10]Both were absolute master classes to be able to understand how you're
[15:14]able to develop the skills within yourself to be able to serve
[15:17]the community better and uplift the entire community.
[15:21]We are going to host several other workshops going forward throughout the
[15:25]year.
[15:26]We plan to host one every single month and with your support
[15:31]we'll be able to do that further.
[15:33]It's not just about workshops though.
[15:35]We're also doing a lot of work with mentorship programs.
[15:37]If you, your children, your friends and family are interested in a
[15:44]particular career and don't know anyone in that field, please approach us.
[15:48]We have a network that works with various different types of professionals.
[15:51]Whether it's medics, whether it's people in banking, whether that's PE people
[15:59]in dentistry or beyond, we're able to help the young people grow
[16:03]and develop through various avenues like CV workshops, personal statements, getting the
[16:09]into university, through interview skills and beyond.
[16:13]So inshallah with your support, we'll continue this.
[16:17]And if you need any more information on any of these programs,
[16:20]please reach out to us.
[16:21]And finally, you can't build a community without these social events.
[16:25]The brotherhood and the sisterhood that's created within these social events is
[16:32]longlasting.
[16:31]And through Club 313, we host one of the largest football leagues
[16:37]in the UK, especially within the Shia community.
[16:43]We have 150 Shia brothers that gather on a Friday and we
[16:47]play football for two hours each and every single Friday.
[16:50]Season 3 of League 313 inshallah will be starting from September and
[16:56]you'll find out a lot more information on that.
[16:58]For some of the younger brothers, what we also do is we
[17:02]offer club 313 in this particular center.
[17:05]Typically on a Wednesday night, you can bring your children.
[17:08]They can play PlayStation, table tennis, basketball, badminton in the sports hall
[17:14]and through that they're able to make friends that will grow with
[17:21]them and they are friends that are like-minded from their own religion
[17:26]and inshallah that will help them grow in the right way.
[17:30]This is your center.
[17:32]Our long-term vision is a center that never really sleeps.
[17:37]The males will continue, the workshops will continue, and so will the
[17:41]classes and the social events.
[17:42]We want to make sure that we grow as a community so
[17:48]that we're able to best set ourselves for the future.
[17:50]You saw in the previous nights the financial overview.
[17:53]We bought this building for nearly a million pounds and we yet
[17:57]we still have a 95,000 loan on the building.
[18:01]Over the last few nights, we've had many of you come forward
[18:07]and pledge to donate towards that.
[18:08]I'll remind you once again, every single month close to £1,200 goes
[18:14]in just interest payments on that particular loan.
[18:16]There are around 1,200 people here today.
[18:20]And what we want to do is to do our best to
[18:23]try and clear the loan off this muharam.
[18:25]This muharam is our greatest opportunity to be able to be debt-free
[18:30]for this particular building and we can't do it without your support.
[18:37]We can't do it without your help.
[18:37]So with that in mind on the next slide you're going to
[18:45]see that we have a um a QR code for the pledges.
[18:54]So it's at the bottom of the of the screen.
[18:56]So Madik, if you go to the next slide, please.

[21:49]would be much appreciated.
[21:49]I want to invite the s but before I do you can
[21:54]all look around.
[21:55]You can see that the hall is nearly packed and there is
[21:58]quite a few more people coming in.
[21:59]So, I'm going to ask everyone to all stand up and come
[22:05]forward.
[22:04]There's a lot more space.
[22:06]I can see pockets of space everywhere.
[22:07]So if you can all stand up and come forward and just
[22:10]make that extra space for the zir that are coming into the
[22:14]majushammed [Music] Brothers, if you can put your shoes on your laps,
[22:46]it will make that extra bit of space.
[22:48]If you even if we can fit in another 10, 15 people,
[22:51]it's more than enough.
[22:53]If you can put your shoes on your laps and fill any
[22:57]spaces, any gaps that there is, Welcome.
[23:25]If we can all just come in, settle down, find a seat,
[23:31]brothers that are stood over there, if you can find a seat,
[23:36]inshallah, so we can invite the say I have I have space
[23:58]for about two people on the stage.
[24:00]Two.
[24:01]Anyone want the stage?
[24:17]Can you Can you guys all squish up together a little bit
[24:21]more?
[24:40]Inshallah just before we invite the say I have one last request

[24:54]been requested to recite.
[24:57]So I'll recite their names and then after that if you could
[25:01]recite in their honor Ahmed and the names are on the screen
[25:18]and if you can recite Brothers, if you can just find a
[25:43]seat.
[25:43]I know it's a bit tight over there in that corner.
[25:45]If one of the volunteers can help them find a space.
[25:49]One last thing before I invite the sad on.
[25:52]Inshallah.
[25:53]Again, I've had to mention it every night.
[25:58]Um please no recording on your personal devices on your mobile phones.
[26:03]The stream the lecture is live streamed online and the recording is
[26:07]available online afterwards as well.
[26:09]So no recordings on your phone, no photos.
[26:13]And once again a polite request to minimize movements and minimize sound
[26:17]and noise so we aren't having any disruptions during the program.
[26:21]With that being said, inshallah, if you can invite the onto the
[26:28]member with the loudest of might Before I begin, uh just a
[27:42]couple of announcements.
[27:43]Inshallah directly after the majus and after the metam um I will
[27:49]be leading a and then after the salah we will have an
[27:54]open question and answer session for everybody in relation to these malis
[27:58]in general and all of the general Islamic questions that you may
[28:04]have that will be directly after salah.
[28:07]Secondly, I'm humbled by the wonderful support from all of you.
[28:12]Even with our sand collection and the clothing line and the support
[28:19]that's been given is something I will not forget and it's not
[28:23]something that I take lightly and I thank you all so much
[28:26]for this.
[28:26]And of course, part of the proceeds go to the team at
[28:30]the Zahara Trust and the work that they're doing and the charitable
[28:34]endeavors that they're doing as well all over the world.
[28:36]So, may Allah subhanana wa ta'ala also bless them and inshallah, your
[28:40]support is there for them.
[28:43]And finally, I'm also humbled by seeing this place develop.
[28:53]Having been with Muan in the years where they had to rent
[29:00]places, I'm delighted to see now that they have purchased this place.
[29:04]And this is your place in reality.
[29:09]It's not just a place for an organization.
[29:10]It's your place.
[29:13]And inshallah being your place, each and every one of you can
[29:17]leave behind a legacy for future muharams and future shah Ramadans and
[29:23]maintaining this place and the costs of this place.
[29:27]And I echo their words when they talk about fundraising.
[29:30]There are many mosques which have served B from our fathers and
[29:34]our grandfathers.
[29:36]Now it's your turn.
[29:37]Our parents established imam baras all over the UK.
[29:41]Now it's your turn.
[29:44]Whether you give a small amount, whether you give part of your
[29:48]monthly salary, whether you give your charitable Jews, it's your saddakar for
[29:52]the day of judgment.
[29:52]And as we've seen recently in the news, a person can have
[29:57]everything in this world and one car crash takes them.
[29:59]It could be anyone.
[30:02]It doesn't matter how famous you are, not famous.
[30:03]But what you have to leave behind is that there was a
[30:08]gift that kept on giving.
[30:10]It's your opportunities.
[30:11]Allah keeps sending opportunities and people say we want to become more
[30:16]spiritual.
[30:16]How can we become more spiritual?
[30:19]God keeps sending chances.
[30:19]You might not be grabbing them.
[30:22]And so therefore, let us meet the needs of this community who
[30:28]have catered for all of you and for those around the world
[30:30]who are watching.
[30:32]At the end of the day, this melus, alhamdulillah, because of the
[30:35]hard work of the MC and the hard work the whole of
[30:40]the management committee is the most watched medulus in the Shia world
[30:44]and that's because of their hard work and that's because of the
[30:47]effort that they've put in.
[30:47]And so people worldwide who don't even have places were able to
[30:54]watch because this place was established and this place is the first
[30:58]place to have been purchased by the youth of a community.
[31:00]All other mosques I've lectured in in the UK, either the youth
[31:05]have rented a space or the mosque was established 30, 40, 50
[31:09]years ago.
[31:10]So the elders already paid for it.
[31:12]This is the first one where a generation in and around the
[31:15]age of 30 paid for the whole mosque.
[31:18]It's unique unique.
[31:21]But you're all part of this.
[31:25]So I beg of all of you benefit from lectures is one
[31:28]thing but contributing to the cause so that this continues that's another
[31:33]level of spirituality.
[31:34]I know it's not easy and I know some people may leave
[31:38]here and say I listen to a lecture and move on.
[31:40]Try your hardest inshallah that before the 10 nights are over, try
[31:50]your hardest to have written your name in answer to and that
[31:52]that was your little that you gave.
[31:54]There are some here who can only afford 510 and there are
[31:59]others here who can comfortably afford six figures.
[32:03]But then it's your test whether you give it towards whichever place
[32:07]that's between you and Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
[32:11]But I think this is enough service for you.
[32:14]So may Allah bless all of you and inshallah we'll remember each
[32:17]other in prayers.
[32:16]Let us remember Alhamdulillah.
[32:56]forch.
[33:02][Music] [Music] Alhamdulillah.
[33:58]The first of our loud salawat in honor of Muhammad Sam.
[34:03][Music] Second loud salawat in honor of imm.
[34:13][Music] Last but not least, in honor of the Imam of our
[34:23]time, Im Respected scholars, brothers and sisters, without a doubt is one
[34:41]of the most important topics within the religion of Islam.
[34:44]But have we lost the of within our communities?
[34:51]And this subject of morality and ethics is a subject that doesn't
[34:58]just affect the Muslim.
[34:58]Every single religion in the world today and in the past and
[35:06]every single empire of today and in the past has always asked
[35:08]the question as to what makes a moral society, what makes a
[35:12]moral human being?
[35:14]Even in the subjects that we have within our societies today, there
[35:17]are always questions about the relativism of morality, who dictates what's moral
[35:23]and what's not moral.
[35:24]Today, you have all different arguments about what is.
[35:28]But one thing in particular that all societies agree on is that
[35:35]a society with morals is the best of societies.
[35:37]And a society without morality is a dead society.
[35:41]If you go back to the Greeks or the Romans or the
[35:47]Persians or the Arabs or Judaism or Islam or Christianity, you'll see
[35:51]that each and every one of them touched on discussions concerning.
[35:54]They knew that if you were able to build a republic or
[35:59]you were able to build a government or you were able to
[36:03]build a society with the bestl then you will be able to
[36:08]ensure the longevity of that society.
[36:10]If you look at Socrates and then his student Plato and then
[36:14]his student Aristotle and then you look at Confucious or Lauju or
[36:22]if later on you go to Gazali, Farabi, Iben Cena, Aquinus, Maymonades,
[36:26]you'll see even later with Kant and Hume and others that the
[36:32]central subject is how do you ensure that society's remains strong?
[36:37]When we meet somebody with the best of a it touches our
[36:42]heart straight away.
[36:42]The moment you see somebody whose moral traits are the best of
[36:46]moral traits, you never forget them.
[36:47]It always brings a smile on your face.
[36:51]Someone who's humble, someone who's patient, someone who is always empathetic, generous.
[36:57]These are the traits every human looks for, not just the Muslim.
[37:02]The complete opposite is what you detest.
[37:05]bring me now a non-Muslim in this crowd and I say to
[37:08]him, "What do you think of someone who is envious?
[37:10]What do you think of someone who's rude?
[37:13]What do you think someone who's bitter?
[37:15]What do you think of someone who backbites and destroys people's lives?"
[37:20]It doesn't need the Quran for him to say that I detest
[37:25]such things because part of my primordial nature is that I can
[37:30]sense the difference between goodness and between evil between right and wrong
[37:35]what builds the character and ultimately on the day of judgment what's
[37:39]going to bring our salvation is it my dish dasha or my
[37:46]kud or myaya or jalabia that I wear because sadly Islam now
[37:48]became a religion that the exterior is more important than the interior.
[37:52]The moment you see somebody with an come to the mosque or
[37:57]you see that person has grown their beard or that person has
[38:03]a ring or that person has a or in their hand you'll
[38:06]see that our communities will straight away say tawa pious automatically.
[38:11]Why?
[38:13]because we've been in a framework of more than today'sm is am
[38:19]in reality.
[38:21]I'm not denying that we have theology.
[38:23]I'm not denying we have spirituality.
[38:26]But ultimately, what are me and you most concerned about?
[38:29]We are most concerned.
[38:30]Is this halal to eat or haram?
[38:34]Is the moon on this day or that day?
[38:36]Is it waj to do this or that?
[38:39]That's our main concern.
[38:38]Law, law has a huge place to play within society.
[38:44]There's no doubt.
[38:44]No society can flourish without law.
[38:50]But if law has no heart, then you become like who?
[38:52]You become like the rabbis of the children of Israel.
[38:58]Judaism focused a lot on law.
[38:59]By the end, they had no heart in dealing with law.
[39:03]All they concerned themselves with does he have a long beard?
[39:06]Does he wear something on his head?
[39:08]Does he have longer hair?
[39:11]Is he somebody who looks like a pious person?
[39:13]The looks are not the most important thing.
[39:17]They are important, but it's the heart that's fundamental because if I
[39:22]look good, for example, and you see me sitting here with an
[39:28]abaya and therefore I look good, but my heart is full of
[39:30]my heart is full of diseases.
[39:35]Someone says which diseases?
[39:35]If I told you now you have a blockage in your heart,
[39:38]straight away you'll look to the doctor or you'll go to a
[39:42]cardiologist.
[39:43]There are others and ask them and talk to them.
[39:43]But when I tell you you have a disease in the heart
[39:47]of your soul, you'll say which disease say you have inside you
[39:51]hypocrisy.
[39:53]You have arrogance.
[39:52]You have envy.
[39:56]Religion does what?
[39:56]Religion comes as a hospital for these.
[40:00]Comes as a pharmacy for these.
[40:02]Because for me my is within me in my soul is either
[40:12]the diseases or the virtues.
[40:13]There's a poem attributed to Im Ali Alisam.
[40:17]The poem states the cure is within you but you do not
[40:23]sense but the disease is within you but you do not see.
[40:28]The human being the cure to their salvation is within them and
[40:32]the diseases that can destroy their hereafter are within them within the
[40:38]nefs of the human being.
[40:41]Hence why always in the Quran Allah subhana wa ta'ala wanted to
[40:44]give us a little hint about what was that hint where your
[40:48]nephs ends up when you go 6 feet under is where you'll
[40:54]end up on the day of judgment.
[40:55]Someone says my body or my nurse.
[40:57]My body is going to die and decay.
[40:59]My body is going to rot.
[41:02]What's going to remain?
[41:03]What's going to remain is the character that I built.
[41:07]That's what's going to remain.
[41:09]The soul separates from the body.
[41:11]The soul, what is it?
[41:12]The human being's soul.
[41:14]Either the human being's soul, it's made up of four faculties.
[41:19]which is the power of the intellect.
[41:22]The power of imagination, the power of anger, which is what the
[41:32]power of which is the power of desire.
[41:35]If you want to remember in an acronym, remember the word raid.
[41:38]Someone asks you what's your naps?
[41:44]Say reason, anger, imagination, desire.
[41:44]Every human has a battle in their between these four.
[41:51]Their intellect is trying to subdue their anger or their reason or
[41:55]their imagination because their imagination can make me destroy societies.
[41:59]My anger can make me destroy a marriage.
[42:02]My desires can make me destroy society.
[42:06]My therefore comes from a concept.
[42:13]Can my intellect tame the horse of anger and desire and imagination
[42:18]if the that I've been given the power of my intellect if
[42:22]it can tame the other three because the other three are what
[42:28]they're spontaneous the word comes from the word means the spontaneous reaction
[42:33]of the human being soul spontaneous thel of the human being is
[42:37]what is when a person spont spontaneously reacts to something.
[42:44]I give you a simple trivial example in around the Omra when
[42:49]someone elbows you hard.
[42:49]Some of you smiling cuz I think you've been there.
[42:54]You're going around and it's busy and it's sweaty and someone gives
[42:57]you an elbow.
[42:59]Your reaction to that moment shows you where your is because your
[43:03]reaction at that moment can either be why are they touching me?
[43:06]Who do they think they are?
[43:07]Or it could also be let me make excuses for them.
[43:11]We're all getting pushed.
[43:12]Look at the two different versions of your nef.
[43:15]That's why Hajj is so beautiful because Hajj tells you where you
[43:19]are.
[43:20]You're either an animal who's come to do rituals.
[43:23]As Imam was asked, look how many haj's like look through my
[43:25]fingers.
[43:26]He looked he saw animals doing tawah.
[43:29]There's many animals and very few humans.
[43:32]Yes.
[43:33]And people pushing and kicking and jumping and harassing.
[43:38]But then there are those whose they've reached a level of a
[43:42]lovely balance that even when they get angry their intellect tells them
[43:46]what's the point what's the point even my own self on a
[43:54]personal level today I got someone who insulted me in Manchester today
[43:57]just today he insulted me he's not from our school I'm sure
[44:04]you can imagine who his forefathers are insulted me but with the
[44:08]insult I had a member of the community who was with me
[44:10]when we were walking and this member of the community who was
[44:14]with me was you know he was in a rage because this
[44:15]person had tried to hire but then my anger on the one
[44:20]hand is telling me turn around and let's reply but then the
[44:27]intellect comes and says why am I replying to this nobody really
[44:33]Quran When the speaks to you, say at the end of the
[44:41]day, what am I going to gain if a car cuts me
[44:44]and I want to go in a moment of rage?
[44:46]But this is where a point emerges.
[44:50]Needs to always be reassessed.
[44:53]Never in your life believe that you are immune from a bad
[44:59]moment of that is where you fall as a human being.
[45:04]What you are never immune from is that the soul can let
[45:07]go.
[45:07]The nefs can at a moment defeat the intellect.
[45:11]And that is what differentiates on those with and those against.
[45:16]Someone says, "No, no, no, no.
[45:18]What differentiates me is that I went to Kbella and I do
[45:25]a majam and I blow a trumpet and and no no.
[45:29]What differentiates you is your when doing those things your and the
[45:39]way that you followed someone could easily come and do many ritualistic
[45:44]things but doesn't change their he finishes salah he's rude to his
[45:50]family he finishes salah he's obnoxious he finish salah he's always in
[45:53]a mood with everybody what it therefore goes to show is that
[45:56]you have to reassess always one's al therefore In a wedding has
[46:02]to always be reassessed.
[46:03]In a funeral has to be reassessed.
[46:07]With my parents when they get older and older and older has
[46:14]to be reassessed.
[46:13]With your children has to be reassessed.
[46:17]In Hussein has to be reassessed.
[46:21]With an has to be reassessed.
[46:26]By the has to be reassessed by the is the and the
[46:36]one who sees the both have to reassess themselves constantly.
[46:41]You want to achieve a great place in it's not how many
[46:44]sals you've prayed those are good but salah without softness of the
[46:51]heart of a human to another then throw your salah away is
[46:55]the main framework that I'd like to examine tonight on a personal
[47:02]level so that we can all reassess our and see how we
[47:05]can come back to the lo sunnah of the beautifull of the
[47:10]prophet peace peace be upon him and his family.
[47:12]And I'd like to do this in the following stages.
[47:16]Number one, what was the mission statement of the prophet?
[47:17]Was it I've come to bring salah, I've come to bring zakat,
[47:23]or was it something else?
[47:24]Number two, why does he use what is?
[47:29]Number three, how then did his grandson develop a dua on that
[47:36]basis?
[47:37]Number four, why do most non- Shia believe the prophet could have
[47:40]moments of badl?
[47:42]And how comes the prophet would have badl if he came to
[47:46]bring us and teach us?
[47:47]Number five, does equal and if it did then shan should be
[47:55]in Jenna.
[47:56]Number six, which areas of our community need a complete car wash
[48:01]when it comes to and then from my personal experiences, what are
[48:07]the areas that I've witnessed where the inshallah with each other will
[48:10]work on and we'll continue to change.
[48:13]Number seven, how were the the walking mirror image of the of
[48:19]the prophet and on the 10th of Muharam?
[48:23]How did Im Hussein describe Al Akbar in relation to Let's examine
[48:26]this and dissect the topic in complete depth.
[48:29]If someone asks you what was the mission of the prophet, you'll
[48:32]find some Muslims will say his mission was to tell us to
[48:38]fast and shah Ramadan.
[48:37]But fasting came at least 15 years after he announced his prophethood.
[48:42]His mission was Hajj.
[48:45]He only done Hajj once and that was just before he died.
[48:49]His mission was jihad.
[48:50]He didn't even touch a battlefield until 15 years after his prophethood
[48:57]was announced.
[48:56]There's only one mission in reality ultimately apart from guiding to the
[49:01]oneness of God and that is a non-Muslim asks me today about
[49:13]my prophet and says what was his mission?
[49:15]I say that his mission was in one sentence.
[49:20]Someone says what's the exact translation in English?
[49:24]Exact translation in English can never do justice to the Arabic and
[49:30]nothing can come near and do justice to the tongue of Muhammad
[49:34]Sam at the beginning of a sentence in Arabic is when you're
[49:50]specifying a particular quality or something a particular mission When you see
[49:55]at the beginning of a sentence in Arabic, therefore is specifying I
[50:03]have come.
[50:02]Indeed, I have come.
[50:06]I have been sent like the messengers have been sent before me.
[50:13]Which means every prophet had a similar mission.
[50:17]So I may perfect the message of those who have come before
[50:26]me.
[50:23]Is what is to actualize a particular message in its full fruition.
[50:31]Didn't say a is different from a is what is I want
[50:42]to complete something which maybe hasn't really been completed.
[50:44]is still missing some parts.
[50:48]Means what?
[50:49]It means that I'm going to actualize something in its perfection.
[50:53]There is a something will actually emerge in the most perfect way.
[50:59]Therefore, come back to the sentence.
[51:02]Indeed, I have been sent with the sole purpose of actualizing in
[51:10]perfection.
[51:14]Not just [Applause] is what is the most sublime morals you will
[51:24]ever see.
[51:25]Yeah.
[51:26]Now come back to the whole sentence again.
[51:28]This sentence is one of the most important sentences in Islam.
[51:32]Islam is defined by this one sentence.
[51:34]in I have been sent like the prophets before me to ensure
[51:38]the the actualization in its perfect form of the most sublime morals.
[51:46]Okay, someone asked the question why did he say why not is
[51:57]a good thing having goodl why why sublime I'll show you the
[52:04]difference between the two is for example you do something good to
[52:08]me I'll do something good to you tit for tat you invite
[52:13]me to your home for dinner I invite you to brought to
[52:18]my home for dinner.
[52:18]You invite me to your wedding, I'm obliged to invite you to
[52:25]my wedding.
[52:27]That's good.
[52:28]Even if you don't show me goodl, I'll still show you goodl.
[52:32]Look at the difference.
[52:35]Look at the difference.
[52:34]Ask the human beings, how do we work?
[52:37]If they were good with me, I'm good with them.
[52:39]If they're not good with me, I'm not going to be good
[52:42]with them.
[52:41]I'm not going to be good with them at all.
[52:44]On the contrary, what do you find?
[52:46]On the contrary, you find that is when a person does what
[52:54]is when someone has not necessarily been good to me.
[52:58]I'll still be good to them.
[52:59]If they've let me down, I'll find a way to be good
[53:04]with them.
[53:05]I'll find a way to open a door for them.
[53:08]If they trying to make an effort, I will do even better
[53:11]than that effort that they have made.
[53:13]The man himself was the most unique in that behavior.
[53:18]You know when people sayool Allah had greatl his greatl wasn't oh
[53:23]someone's nice to me I'm nice to them.
[53:26]That was nice.
[53:28]It was sometimes when someone's nasty to me I can still find
[53:33]a way of being good to them.
[53:34]That was his cuz you know very well one of the ways
[53:39]in which we prove his prophethood is what is that before he
[53:42]announced his prophethood he was known for two things he was and
[53:48]he was a mean he was truthful and trustworthy.
[53:50]Nobody remembers the of Allah before he died before he was a
[53:57]prophet.
[53:58]Nobody remembers how big his house was.
[53:59]Nobody remembers whether he was an orphan or not.
[54:01]They remember two things that he was truthful and he was trustworthy.
[54:06]You could never find a black dot on his CV.
[54:10]Never.
[54:11]And that's why even when he announced his propheththood, the amount of
[54:16]times they tried to prick his soul, they tried to make the
[54:22]soul react, they tried to anger him.
[54:25]The holy prophet peace be upon him's family never once in his
[54:28]life reacted to the way that they done.
[54:30]We mentioned how they would take the mik by saying that your
[54:36]baby has died and they call him they called him they called
[54:40]him they called him imagine being called majnon insane.
[54:45]Never do you find ever the prophet in his public life or
[54:51]his private life.
[54:53]His al was impeccable.
[54:53]His wives, his wives in some cases were a nightmare.
[54:57]The Quran mentions how they were a nightmare in surah 66.
[55:00]One's telling the other a secret, the other's plotting on the other.
[55:06]The Quran exposes the wives, but never once can the wives complain
[55:10]when their was bad to him that his was bad to them.
[55:18]Always was what?
[55:17]You're bad to me.
[55:21]I'll still try and find a way to be good to you.
[55:23]I'll try and find a way to be good.
[55:30]I'll try and find a way in which I ensure that I
[55:31]am the best towards you and I am the best towards everybody.
[55:37]And that's why Imam when he wrote dua to me Islam Islam
[55:45]the whole religion can be summarized in dua.
[55:48]If you wanted to give a non-Muslim, you want to give them
[55:53]a document that explains Shiaism, give them dua, look at the beauty
[56:00]of dua.
[55:59]In that dua, there is a continuing line.
[56:02]What is it?
[56:04]Those who have wronged me, let me find a way to be
[56:08]good to them.
[56:07]It's so hard.
[56:09]It's so hard.
[56:11]You know why?
[56:10]Cuz we're tenacious.
[56:12]We are.
[56:13]And we don't if we don't reassess ourselves, we can be lethal
[56:16]because we have it in us that if someone wrongly has said
[56:20]something, we want to destroy them.
[56:25]We have no limits to destroying them.
[56:28]We'll slander them.
[56:27]We'll lie about their character.
[56:30]We'll make stories about them.
[56:32]Why?
[56:33]Either because they said something that we don't like or that we
[56:36]don't agree with.
[56:38]Instead of us turning around with the exact Islamic origin which was
[56:43]what?
[56:44]Make 70 excuses for somebody before you attack the human.
[56:49]If there is no please focus on this line.
[56:50]If there is no of the nef this is a huge line
[56:55]in today is not the top subject is the top subject.
[57:04]It's not is the top subject.
[57:07]When f is the top subject, it produces minds.
[57:11]It produces intellects.
[57:12]There's not necessarily a correlation to produce.
[57:16]That's why you find some of our took lessons in or some
[57:23]of them wrote on.
[57:24]I'll give you an example.
[57:27]A book that all of you in this hall should have read
[57:29]in your life.
[57:30]And if you haven't then make a resolution this muharam to read
[57:33]a book on a people ask me do you have any books
[57:36]on on people ask me do you have any books on im
[57:41]on it's all good do you have do you have this nobody
[57:43]ever asks me ever for a book onlak nobody because you know
[57:52]what people imagine I don't need a book onl so simple I
[57:55]can just be someone with goodl myself nobody asks me for a
[58:01]book onl Why?
[58:00]For what reason?
[58:03]It's because is not our priority in learning.
[58:06]Why do you think we all slander each other in the communities
[58:09]in the UK?
[58:11]Why?
[58:12]Why do you think we slander each other?
[58:15]We all love B, don't we?
[58:16]We all love B.
[58:19]Name me imam bgas from all the way from down towards the
[58:21]south coast all the way up to Scotland.
[58:24]All of us we love B.
[58:27]But why do we find it easy to slander and fight each
[58:31]other?
[58:29]Why?
[58:30]For what reason?
[58:31]Why do we find it easy to forward WhatsApp messages slandering someone's
[58:36]character?
[58:37]It could be some of you over here.
[58:39]Could be some of you or some of you watching online that
[58:41]at one stage in your life you forwarded a WhatsApp message about
[58:44]somebody to destroy them because you don't like them and today you
[58:48]like them and next week you hate them and next week you
[58:49]like them and next week you like them and then you hate
[58:53]them and then you like them and then you hate them and
[58:54]then you like them and then you like them and then you
[58:57]hate them.
[58:58]Yes, this happens because I've seen people who smile with me said
[59:02]Allah I love your six months earlier he was the biggest stabber
[59:05]of my back.
[59:10]Why?
[59:10]Because he has not been trained in ethics.
[59:14]The maximum we're trained in our communities and is on a Saturday
[59:20]or Sunday until the age of 16.
[59:23]That's the maximum maximum.
[59:23]After the age of 16, if you ask many Shia in the
[59:30]world, discuss Ib on ethics.
[59:31]Discuss, for example, others and their works on ethics and his discussions
[59:38]on ethics.
[59:40]Discuss others and his discussions on on ethics.
[59:41]Others and their discussions on ethics.
[59:44]You'll find that many of us have not picked up books on
[59:48]for us, it's not like you have to pick up a book
[59:52]and you have to check everything.
[59:52]is the main book we need to pick up.
[59:55]I give you the book for all of you to read.
[59:58]Make sure you read it.
[60:00]And all those who are watching online wherever you are, if you
[60:03]have not read this book with your family, with your family, then
[60:08]you have not understood the ethical discussions and the ethical system within
[60:15]Islam.
[60:16]Ayati's book, the 40 hadith.
[60:17]40 hadith.
[60:19]Read, go and buy the book or download it.
[60:27]online is 40.
[60:26]They are not on and or zakat or the laws or theology
[60:34]or proving im or fighting with each other.
[60:38]No, they look at the virtues of the soul and the virtuous
[60:42]traits and they look at the diseases of the soul and how
[60:48]you perfect them.
[60:49]you know, was a jurist, was a philosopher, was in the world
[60:56]of mysticism.
[60:54]But one of his best works was on one of his best
[61:04]works was on because if the Shia community does not study ethics
[61:10]like how the western world continues to study Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, they
[61:17]continue to study Kant and they study Hume and Maymonades and Aquinus.
[61:21]Whereas with us you ask us what book have you read on
[61:28]ethics according to Muhammad and Aluhammed then therefore if I've not read
[61:38]a book on ethics and I tell everybody we should have goodl
[61:41]good what are what does goodl mean what are the levels of
[61:47]how do I develop my morality what are the diseases that I
[61:53]have to be careful of that destroy my if your is destroyed
[61:58]true it affects your and may affect your if it's destroyed Allah
[62:05]will not put you in Jenna as a troublemaker and ruin everyone's
[62:10]life sometimes I tell people you know what there's some real troublemakers
[62:15]don't tell me they're going to be with us in Jenna inshallah
[62:17]because if that guy's going to be around are we still going
[62:21]to have trouble and disunityity in Jenna Ultimately, Jenna is a place
[62:25]where you chill.
[62:24]You want to be around people who think well of others, who
[62:29]give benefit of the doubt to others, who are softhearted to others,
[62:33]not people, and may Allah protect all of us from having a
[62:37]naps that likes to see people fall.
[62:43]If you're someone who thrives on others falling, you've got major major
[62:51]issues.
[62:51]I feel sorry for you.
[62:53]You got major issues.
[62:53]If when you see someone's done well, you have a feeling why
[62:58]is it that they get all the fame?
[62:59]Why is it they get all the accolades?
[63:01]You've got a major disease.
[63:02]You need to go to the hospital.
[63:03]Someone says, "Ana, so what?
[63:05]I'm going to go to Manchester hospital." And I'm going to say
[63:08]to them, I have a disease.
[63:09]It's called Hassad.
[63:11]Can you take me to A&E?
[63:12]person will look at me and say you probably got other issues
[63:15]but hassad and these can only be cured by studying the s
[63:23]of Muhammad and al Muhammad yes anger management issues envy lust hypocrisy
[63:34]all of these arrogance pride can only be cured if a person
[63:40]goes to the hospital of becauseam took the Quranic guidance so many
[63:49]ayats in the Quran about when the Quran came one of the
[63:54]best suras for the surah you've all read surah it's a whole
[63:58]surah on surah comes and says and wallah sometimes I wonder about
[64:02]the Muslim some Muslims they remind me when the Quran says sadly
[64:05]Quran said about those who carried the Torah it was like donkeys
[64:09]carrying luggage You read the Arabic.
[64:13]You read the Arabic.
[64:13]You read the English.
[64:16]But there is a lack of implementation.
[64:18]Surah 49:6.
[64:18]Oh you who believe when a wicked person comes to you with
[64:23]news, verify the news.
[64:24]Someone comes and tells you person X, I heard this about them.
[64:30]Ask them one question.
[64:30]Have you met him?
[64:33]You heard?
[64:34]Yes, you heard.
[64:36]You met him and asked him.
[64:37]No, no, no.
[64:39]But I heard.
[64:39]You met Quran said when a person evil person comes to you
[64:45]with news verify.
[64:45]Number two when that person comes to bring you the news Quran
[64:52]came and said on another verse it came and said avoid suspicion
[65:00]oh Muslims oh mmmans for suspicion in some cases can be a
[65:06]sin.
[65:07]I think he is is one of the most disgusting lines.
[65:11]Suspicion can be a sin.
[65:17]And do not spy on one another's lives.
[65:21]There are people because of spying their evil eye destroys others.
[65:27]Wallah.
[65:26]Sometimes people say to me, "Is the evil eye real?" The evil
[65:31]eye is real.
[65:33]100% it's real.
[65:32]100%.
[65:32]So how do I prevent it?
[65:34]Well, don't give half of your life away on Instagram.
[65:38]You're telling the whole world what you're doing.
[65:40]There are people out there.
[65:40]They'll spy on everyone.
[65:42]Say, "No, no, but it's a public.
[65:44]Doesn't matter.
[65:43]They'll spy on your every move.
[65:45]They'll look at your every move." Quran said, "Don't spy." Quran then
[65:53]said, "Don't backbite one another." Quran also said, "Don't let one nation
[66:01]make fun of another nation thinking that they're better when the other
[66:06]nation could be better than them.
[66:10]And don't let women make fun of other women.
[66:18]Don't make nicknames for one another." Basic thing.
[66:21]But the nickname can destroy someone's life.
[66:24]It can hurt that person.
[66:25]It can ruin that person.
[66:28]Quran came with all of this.
[66:29]But the Quran wanted to stress on one thing in particular.
[66:32]What was it?
[66:35]Just because of course somebody has does not mean they have shan
[66:43]worshiped had but shan one moment of missing ruined one drop of
[66:52]to Allah subhana wa ta'ala's problem is not Adaman's problem is you're
[66:59]telling me I won't submit I won't pro one moment oment I
[67:02]ask you we say we are better than how many moments of
[67:07]bad do we have on our CV all of us sayan you
[67:13]might be a shaitan walking on the earth yourself and that's why
[67:21]if you want your perfected the first route is to dissect the
[67:25]books of the scholars of the of the likel and the second
[67:32]is to reassess what is it that is wanted by our imams
[67:38]when it comes to different areas of because I see in our
[67:42]communities we all have social spaces public and private there are certain
[67:46]etiquets which we need to reassess I'm going to be very frank
[67:51]and I'm going to list them for you what I believe are
[67:53]etiquets which we all need to reassess firstly when it comes to
[68:00]our parents there needs to be a lot more sar with our
[68:03]parents.
[68:04]Yes, there's a lot of us I've seen and witnessed in my
[68:10]own eyes.
[68:09]Very comfortable for someone to raise their voice above their parents.
[68:15]Very comfortable.
[68:16]None of whatever success I have on Mimar Hussein has been achieved
[68:22]because of me reading books.
[68:25]It's because I believe my parents are accepting of my behavior to
[68:35]them and therefore their dua blessed me.
[68:36]Don't look at me over here.
[68:40]By the way, don't look at me here.
[68:42]Me here, I'm giving knowledge.
[68:44]Knowledge does not equate.
[68:47]Okay?
[68:47]Knowledge doesn't equate.
[68:50]Knowledge is a medium or a source but doesn't equate.
[68:53]The real me is only known by my parents, by my siblings.
[69:00]They're the ones who know the real me.
[69:02]Let's be real.
[69:03]My family and your family.
[69:05]They only know the real you.
[69:06]Community.
[69:07]Imm Jawad used to say, "Don't be an enemy of Allah in
[69:09]Don't be a friend of Allah in public and an enemy of
[69:15]Allah in private." Don't be a friend of Allah in public and
[69:18]an enemy of Allah in private.
[69:20]There are certain people who are enemies of Allah in private with
[69:24]their families, rude, arrogant, so on.
[69:26]I myself believe and I owe my success of course alhamdulillah to
[69:30]Allah subhana wa ta'ala first but then secondly if I do not
[69:35]please my parents I am even worried to go up on memor
[69:40]Hussein because my with my which with my parents number one I
[69:45]endeavor that every day when I see my mom or my dad
[69:49]I endeavor if they in front of me to kiss their hands
[69:52]there are many there's no kissing hands hey Dad.
[69:55]Hey dad.
[69:57]Hey dad.
[69:59]Hey dad.
[70:01]I make sure that I kiss my father or my mother's every
[70:07]time I see them.
[70:08]Must for me.
[70:10]Number two with my parents.
[70:12]If my dad walks into a room or my mom, there's no
[70:16]way I'm just sitting there.
[70:18]I have to stand up.
[70:19]That's a must.
[70:20]I have to stand up.
[70:22]That's what am I doing?
[70:25]My dad walks into a room.
[70:26]I'm just lying.
[70:28]I stand up.
[70:30]Dad salam.
[70:29]If dad I know I'm casual or chilled with him and say
[70:34]to me, "Allah, sit down.
[70:33]Sit down." This thing lack of your father walks into a room.
[70:41]You stay lying back.
[70:42]How disgusting.
[70:43]Firstly, you kiss the hands of your parents.
[70:46]Secondly, your father walks in, your mother walks in.
[70:51]There is a recognition of standing up.
[70:53]Thirdly, is to acknowledge your parents can have bad days just like
[70:56]you can have bad days.
[70:58]So if your parents have a bad day, you don't say I'm
[71:00]going to raise my voice.
[71:06]Do not even say they asked this is just two letters.
[71:14]He said if there was a word smaller we would have used
[71:18]it.
[71:17]Some people are like, "Stop it.
[71:20]Don't raise your eye.
[71:20]I don't want to hear you.
[71:21]Smash the door.
[71:23]Slam the door." That is not that's not Quran.
[71:28]Said, "You don't even say O to your parents." Three parents uh
[71:34]people who speak to their parents.
[71:34]Yeah.
[71:35]Get on with this.
[71:35]Hurry up.
[71:36]You know what?
[71:36]Finish this quickly.
[71:38]Why are you so slow?
[71:39]Relax.
[71:40]Hellfire is underneath your feet without you realizing.
[71:45]You're not realizing.
[71:45]Hellfire is making itself very very very near you.
[71:51]The moment you're raising your voice, the mala and their blessing starts
[71:57]to go distant from you.
[71:57]Your duas are blocked.
[71:58]Because people do say to me, how comes you know my business
[72:01]is down or my dua is not going well and so on.
[72:04]Look at your behavior with your parents.
[72:08]The answer is there.
[72:08]The answer is there.
[72:09]You rude to your parents who raised you, who gave you everything
[72:15]in life.
[72:16]Our parents are not mas are 14.
[72:19]We agree there's no 15th matsum no 16th.
[72:22]Our parents make mistakes and those who are parents now realize mistakes
[72:26]they make as well.
[72:30]So therefore the first area of is that we begin with our
[72:35]parents.
[72:34]Don't show me in public.
[72:38]All of us are angels in public.
[72:41]with your parents.
[72:40]Number one, the first area of number two even with your spouses
[72:48]a fundamental area of yeah person has to show the highest.
[72:50]They asked the prophet the ladies said what's our jihad?
[72:54]The men are going on the battlefield and they're dying as shada.
[72:57]What's our jihad?
[72:59]The ladies said to him he said your jihad is goodl with
[73:03]your husbands.
[73:03]It's your jihad good al with your husbands.
[73:08]That is a major jihad.
[73:11]It's a major struggle.
[73:10]But jihad in nefs is a huge jihad.
[73:14]The best of with the husband.
[73:18]Someone says even if the husband is rude or bad or no
[73:20]no within limits.
[73:22]I'm not giving kad blanch and bad behavior.
[73:25]But likewise with the husband.
[73:28]The prophet used to say the best of you is the best
[73:30]to their family and I am the best to my family.
[73:34]The prophet was the best to his family.
[73:37]the best to his wives.
[73:40]Therefore, on the second level with one's spouse, third level with one's
[73:46]children.
[73:45]Sometimes you see people, they've left really bad marks on their children,
[73:49]belts.
[73:50]What is this?
[73:52]What is this?
[73:55]What this child?
[73:54]You cause trauma.
[73:56]Later on, you come to me and others.
[73:58]Can you fix them?
[73:58]They don't come mosque.
[74:00]They don't come mosque because your belts left scars.
[74:03]They don't come mosque because you slapped and you punched.
[74:08]You don't come mosque because they throw you down the stairs and
[74:12]so on.
[74:13]What is this?
[74:12]There's not a not.
[74:14]Which of the B did this?
[74:17]Imam Ali was asked, I have a child who is rebellious and
[74:20]rude.
[74:20]Imam said a child who's a bad child is like an extra
[74:23]finger.
[74:24]Not good to look at, but you can't cut him.
[74:29]An extra finger.
[74:31]Sixth finger.
[74:32]I don't want to see a six-finger when everyone has but I
[74:36]cannot cut them off.
[74:39]If you cannot do it except by beating and kicking then take
[74:41]them to somebody else who could talk to them.
[74:44]I was speaking with a father recently and he was adamant I
[74:47]want this decision made saying this this I said listen but why
[74:52]don't you be a bit softer with your son your son is
[74:55]scared of you man your son's scared of you the prophet said
[74:58]first seven years let them be free second seven years discipline third
[75:03]seven be their friend 14 to 21 is when a dad befriends
[75:11]their son when they chill with their son they go to sports
[75:14]matches with their son.
[75:14]They enjoy they talk to their son.
[75:16]That's is not just that I say salam like this between where
[75:24]between the spouses with the children with the parents.
[75:29]Let's go to another area.
[75:30]Then we have a more social scene that a person has to
[75:35]always focus on as well.
[75:36]All of us have weddings to go to.
[75:39]All of us have fatas to go to funerals.
[75:43]Yes.
[75:44]fat and so all of us have to go to each of
[75:48]these has a certain for example in weddings I've been to weddings
[75:55]when I go there there's a certain lack of on one area
[76:02]what is it us guys are randomly asked to give a lecture
[76:06]you know someone wants to hear us for like 5 10 minutes
[76:11]or something so when you go up to speak It's a wedding
[76:12]and sometimes these weddings there are people sitting in in tables.
[76:15]They're round tables and there's always this front row in front of
[76:23]me.
[76:24]Yep.
[76:21]Front row has got about nine people on the table and they're
[76:28]tables tables tables.
[76:27]All of a sudden when you go up to give the lecture
[76:32]there's six who are sitting there.
[76:33]Their back is facing buddy for the love of mankind turn around.
[76:40]Is it a huge task for you to turn your chair around?
[76:44]You start talking.
[76:47]Imagine you start talking.
[76:48]Person's not turning around.
[76:49]I remember once I went to a wedding and the person didn't
[76:54]turn around.
[76:53]There's about three who didn't turn around.
[76:56]I said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[76:58]Everybody pause.
[77:00]I'm not continuing.
[77:00]You three turn around.
[77:03]Don't give me your back.
[77:04]Don't give me your back.
[77:07]It's not to give me your back.
[77:09]Is it that hard to turn your chair and look in my
[77:12]eyes?
[77:13]My eyes are not going to destroy your life.
[77:13]Trust me.
[77:15]All I need is 5 10 minutes of your time.
[77:18]The number of times I've seen where in a wedding or or
[77:25]sometimes in a conference or seminar, a muhajaba goes up to give
[77:29]a talk.
[77:30]The men at the front row of that seminar, she's a muajab.
[77:34]The men on the front row, she's talking there and well, they
[77:38]won't turn their table.
[77:38]They say like this, "Bro, chill, chill, chill." And mashallah, you're gi
[77:45]on earth.
[77:47]No problem.
[77:46]You want to lower your gaze?
[77:48]Mashallah.
[77:48]Relax.
[77:49]The poor lady is giving a talk.
[77:52]Turn your chair around and give her attention.
[77:54]Turn.
[77:55]Why are you putting your back?
[77:56]This not in a wedding.
[78:00]You got some who don't turn there.
[78:01]And some of you here will know this.
[78:03]You've seen this.
[78:06]Someone gives a talk, won't turn around.
[78:08]Then you have an a I've seen this in the community again.
[78:12]Fat in the community.
[78:15]I've seen the chairs face each other.
[78:18]Imagine you're the molana.
[78:22]People are looking at each other.
[78:25]Hey, I'm here.
[78:28]I'm here.
[78:32]Luckily, in some cases, it doesn't affect me, but I went to
[78:39]a fat once.
[78:41]The molana is speaking.
[78:44]Wallah, all you got to do is rotate 45°.
[78:46]Imagine how hard that task is.
[78:52]Just got to rotate and just face the poor guy.
[78:54]You know what I did?
[78:56]I picked up my chair where I was.
[78:58]I went and put it right in the middle of the hall
[79:03]and sat in front of him like that.
[79:04]It's something I would do.
[79:09]I just sat and everyone's looking.
[79:12]I don't care.
[79:12]The guy is giving a lecture.
[79:16]You guys can turn around and look at him.
[79:20]Why are people like that?
[79:22]Therefore, number two, you may have in a wedding lack of in
[79:30]a lack of you go to your someone's house.
[79:31]When you go to someone's house, your mates, three of them are
[79:34]sitting there.
[79:34]When you walk in, two of them stand up.
[79:35]There's always that one guy.
[79:38]Stand up.
[79:41]Stand up.
[79:43]When someone walks into a room, simple.
[79:49]There's one guy said, I remember this happened to me once and
[79:55]going around saying salam salam and there's one guy come stand up.
[79:59]So stand up come see everyone else they all stood up.
[80:04]You didn't stand up.
[80:05]You have to have respect for yourself.
[80:07]Never never does a Shia stay sitting when others have walked into
[80:15]a gathering.
[80:14]Never.
[80:16]Do you know why you don't stay sitting?
[80:19]Cuz you should hug the person you're saying salam to.
[80:22]You don't go to someone, hey, what is that?
[80:27]Where where did you learn that from?
[80:29]Immad or Imam.
[80:28]Who did you learn your from?
[80:34]A person walks into a gathering.
[80:35]Ladies as well.
[80:36]Lady walks in.
[80:38]Don't just sit down.
[80:38]Unless it's for example the wealthiest lady in the community, suddenly everyone
[80:41]jumps.
[80:42]Or if it's someone no stand up welcome how are you small
[80:53]talk nice and so talking of small talk it's nice to have
[81:02]etiquets which we call in Arabic sometimes someone's like I am very
[81:14]forthright and cutthroat wall.
[81:15]Our parents, you know, usat is even when it comes to this
[81:20]is one of our main positive areas.
[81:22]Mashallah, we are good at this.
[81:24]And I like it cuz I like that etiquette.
[81:27]It's a nice etiquette.
[81:29]Even the are here, the Pakistanis here, the Lebanese here, the Iranians,
[81:37]all of you, all of you.
[81:39]Today that etiquette of formalities when someone elder comes in that you
[81:45]know all these languages all of these different ways of saying I
[82:08]love you my heart my kebab is we go into the body
[82:13]parts one by one yes you are my heart and my liver
[82:19]and my kidney this etiquets are nice today those pleasantries are so
[82:25]dead wall I've seen people salam salam I remember I met these
[82:33]two guys they're both molanas I'll come to the molana group in
[82:35]a second I'm not going to leave them alone.
[82:38]Uh these two molanas very strong and mystical mashallah walking.
[82:48]Yes.
[82:48]I remember I saw them outside the house.
[82:50]I said salam to the both of salam salam salam.
[82:59]Cuz one particular breed that definitely requires major work on their are
[83:08]people in my position.
[83:09]Major work.
[83:10]You know most of you guys when you hear about a controversy
[83:16]it's not you who's the problem.
[83:17]It's the molana who whispered something in your ear to spread it.
[83:24]You think people who have studi graduated from there's two types.
[83:31]There are some who are walking diamonds of there are some who
[83:36]are the biggest gossipers in the community.
[83:38]But when you see them in public, there are WhatsApp groups of
[83:50]molanas who have graduated from the houseser where all they do in
[83:55]that WhatsApp group is slander others in the UK, in the US,
[84:02]in Canada, everywhere in NF in because someone says to me, "No,
[84:07]no, but molana is there are molanas who is the top.
[84:09]I can name them.
[84:13]There are molanas in public.
[84:17]Outstanding.
[84:16]Go on their groups on WhatsApp.
[84:21]They take clips from all different speakers and they all take the
[84:24]mick out of each speaker because the speaker is not one of
[84:28]their click.
[84:29]These guys, by the way, if you talk with them philosophy, mysticism,
[84:34]you talk with them about theology or history, he will give you
[84:38]lectures from now until and after.
[84:43]But when you look at their groupies, they are the most slanderous
[84:52]graduates of Najaf and instead of following the examples of the great
[84:56]am who have the bestl they decided that knowledge was their god
[85:03]not ethics.
[85:04]Their ethics is only with their mates.
[85:08]If their mates get slandered, if anyone else who's not part of
[85:12]their circle gets slandered, let's laugh at that man could have gone
[85:21]to Jenna because his no but he had that's a problem.
[85:24]So the molanas you have they have to work.
[85:31]Likewise the people when they see the person of when our dads
[85:35]were in Hussein when someone of walks in everybody would stand today
[85:40]it's normal and the melus has etiquets what are the etiquets of
[85:45]a melus number one in a melus mana walks in and I've
[85:48]seen and I'm honored and I'm humbled that when I've walked in
[85:53]here I've been humbled when I looked for example at those who
[85:56]showed the most beautiful as I came all the way here they
[85:58]all stood up.
[86:00]There are some mosques.
[86:01]No, you can walk all the way to the mimbar.
[86:05]He's just sitting there.
[86:05]Wherever Wherever a scholar or whatever goes to sit on me, wherever
[86:13]you're sitting, stand up.
[86:14]Number one.
[86:15]Number two, never chew and sit there and chew gum and so
[86:20]on and so forth in Maj Hussein.
[86:21]Maj Hussein is a finishing school of a you're not in the
[86:27]cinema.
[86:27]Number three, you don't stretch your feet out in majus because your
[86:32]imam might be sitting in front of you.
[86:35]Alabiri would never stretch his feet out.
[86:37]He said, "What if my 12th imam is sitting?" There are people
[86:43]who blatantly stretch their feet out in majus.
[86:48]Number four, your phone, your other spouse for 45 minutes to an
[86:54]hour, leave it just 45 minutes to an hour.
[86:57]Someone might say, "Well, in your males, people are listening to you."
[86:59]There are others who unfortunately, blatantly while they're talking, people are on
[87:04]their phone in front of them just for 45 minutes, 1 hour.
[87:10]There is etiquette.
[87:10]Go to a non-Muslim, get on your phone while they're giving a
[87:13]presentation.
[87:14]They'll say, "Hey, what are you doing?
[87:16]I'm giving a presentation here.
[87:16]Why are you on your phone?" They'll they'll they'll lash out.
[87:22]When a person therefore inj starts person molana walks in you stand
[87:27]up and let the person next to you know that unless we
[87:32]stand up our children will never stand up because the child is
[87:38]always inquisitive.
[87:37]Dad why did you stand up?
[87:39]So we stand up because is walking and in Islam is of
[87:46]the utmost importance.
[87:47]Another etiquette of Hussein when it begins everyone's head goes down.
[87:55]You'll find that there are some who blatantly don't realize the etiquette
[88:00]of Hussein keep staring at you like that.
[88:03]Imam Ass said if you cry or pretend that you're crying.
[88:06]Someone says, "Oh, pretend but that's showing." No, no, no.
[88:11]Pretend by just going like this.
[88:13]When you go to a funeral of any person, you don't keep
[88:16]your head up when it's a sad words being said.
[88:19]You try and put your head down a little bit out of
[88:24]humility.
[88:22]This is etiquette.
[88:26]Other etiquette is when Hussein is happening.
[88:30]People do not walk around.
[88:32]Some have an emergency.
[88:35]There's no doubt they have to.
[88:36]But when we were younger, if we tried to walk around, your
[88:41]dad's one look, you sat back down.
[88:41]Today you'll find it's normal that a person will say go there,
[88:47]go there, go.
[88:46]And that's not the child's fault.
[88:49]The child doesn't deserve to sit in a lecture way above their
[88:53]heads.
[88:53]The children deserve another area where they learn, a crush area where
[88:57]they are given lectures by people similar to their age.
[89:00]Why do I say all of this?
[89:04]Because this place here is a finishing school that makes you a
[89:08]human being.
[89:08]How Imak how knowledgeable Immadak is.
[89:15]Yet in Muharam he would say build a majus for Hussein bin
[89:22]Ali.
[89:20]Imak with all his knowledge.
[89:24]to him.
[89:26]The most wonderful moment is when everyone would sit and someone would
[89:32]recite Hussein and people would go and sit together and they would
[89:36]shed tears and the heart would soften for the im would always
[89:40]say that be what?
[89:43]Be a source of adornment for us, not a source of ridicule
[89:47]for us.
[89:48]Let the people love us.
[89:50]Don't let the people hate us through your your is what makes
[89:56]people come towards or makes people run away from honestly in my
[90:02]position and others our one moment when someone talks to us either
[90:07]pushes people away or brings people closer and that's why every single
[90:12]father the rights of their child what is it that they are
[90:18]taught isn't that true one of the rights of your children is
[90:21]you teach them the Quran.
[90:22]The second is you give them a good name.
[90:26]That's one for another night.
[90:31]The third is that you teach them a and we knew and
[90:33]all Muslims would say there was no like the of the holy
[90:40]prophet.
[90:39]Don't all Muslims agree after the holy prophet who had the bestl.
[90:44]True.
[90:46]And after who?
[90:49]Imm Hassan and after Imam Hassan who and then Imam Hussein and
[90:57]Kabella said you want to see the closest in his and his
[91:05]toasool Allah it's that young man coming out now had how many
[91:13]people with Imam Hussein 120 people including his family 140 all of
[91:18]them are majestic only one.
[91:23]He said his is exactly the same as Allah.
[91:27]When his son was coming out, Imam raised his voice and said,
[91:34]"Allah, oh Allah, be a witness against this nation.
[91:44]For a young man has emerged is the closest person to your
[91:59]prophet in his the way he looks.
[92:02]If you looked at his face, you'd think it was Allah.
[92:07]And in his he most resembles the prophet Akbar.
[92:19]Why did IM Hussein say that?
[92:23]Number one, I'm telling you guys, I'm telling you guys this is
[92:27]Allah walking.
[92:29]You're not surely going to kill him.
[92:33]you Omar's army all of you say I am telling you the
[92:48]closest person in resemblance to the prophet in the way he looks
[92:55]Akbar you would look at him those who knew rasool Allah would
[92:57]be like I can't believe my eyes this is Muhammad walking but
[93:02]in his alah And I wonder I I'm going to say this
[93:14]for the first time.
[93:14]I wonder if Imam Zed wrote this dua in honor of his
[93:20]brother because his brother was the best best manners you'll see all
[93:32]the way to he would always talk with his father with so
[93:38]much and even when he tells his father aren't we on the
[93:43]truth Death.
[93:42]What's death?
[93:44]I'm with you.
[93:46]A softness of the heart.
[93:47]But I feel sorry for a mom who has that boy.
[93:52]I feel sorry for a mom.
[93:55]Every mother loves her son.
[93:56]But imagine an impeccable son, a young son.
[94:01]Imm Hussein concluded that line by saying, "Every time we missed My
[94:12]granddad, we'd look at Al Akbar's face.
[94:17]Every time we missed my granddad, we'd look at Ali Akbar's face,
[94:25]I asked you, on the face of that earth at the time,
[94:28]on the face of that earth, was there anybody who could be
[94:33]the same as the prophet in Aklak?
[94:35]So, how great is this person?
[94:38]And that's why Allah only knows how much hurt Im Hussein went
[94:49]through with this young man.
[94:49]Only Allah knows.
[94:50]When he woke up that morning, the morning of he read the
[94:56]Allahbarb.
[95:06]He read the adan and eventually after it was the turn of
[95:19]Bani Hashim.
[95:16]I cannot describe to you when a dad has to turn around
[95:26]to see his son come towards him and say, "Dad, it's my
[95:34]turn." Wallah words do not do justice.
[95:39]Whatever I say, whatever I read, you all know the I don't
[95:41]even think I need to read.
[95:42]Anyone who cannot break down for Akbar has to reassess their heart.
[95:53]You know they say every single person who went out to fight,
[95:59]Imam tried to tell them please don't go.
[96:01]Please accept Ali Akbar because Imam had broken at that moment.
[96:04]He just didn't have the even the strength to tell him.
[96:08]And Alil Akbar instead Ali Akbar tries to console his dad.
[96:16]As a father, don't worry, it's okay.
[96:18]And his dad tells him, I love you.
[96:22]Many fathers don't tell their sons they love them.
[96:23]They don't tell their daughters they love them.
[96:26]But look at the of the I love you my boy.
[96:31]And he says, "Dad, I love you too." The hadith says, "You
[96:35]saw the two of them holding each other crying." May Allah bless
[96:43]the soul of Imam.
[96:46]In listening to these things, both of them crying and crying and
[96:49]crying.
[96:51]He told him, "Ali," he said, "Yes, Dad.
[96:55]He said to him, "Bid farewell to your mom.
[96:58]Go to the tent and say goodbye." So he went, he entered,
[97:04]his mom saw him.
[97:04]And even now I try and describe it in words.
[97:07]What's my words?
[97:09]A mom sees her boy about to leave.
[97:11]To leave to the butchers of Kabella, to the slaughterers.
[97:18]Then he turns around and says, "My auntie Zena, I'm about to
[97:28]leave you." And she holds him tight.
[97:31]And she goes, "You go on." And then he goes on and
[97:36]then he goes and rides his horse.
[97:39]He's about to leave.
[97:43]He hears a call.
[97:42]Come back, please.
[97:44]Ah.
[97:45]He turns around.
[97:46]It says, "Dad." He said, "Dad, what is it?" He said, "You
[97:51]don't know how hard it is to see your boy leave." They
[98:09]embraced each other that final time, the two of them.
[98:13]He held his son and then he saw his son walking.
[98:16]His son came out towards the battlefield.
[98:18]The moment he came out, he said, [Music] He came out and
[98:45]he began to fight valiantly in the middle of all the soldiers.
[98:48]His mom is in the tent.
[98:51]His mom cannot tell how well her boy's doing.
[98:52]May Allah never show a mom seeing her boys surrounded by the
[98:58]wolves in that way.
[98:58]She cannot tell how well her son's doing.
[99:01]She'd look towards the face of Abdullah.
[99:06]If the face of the Imam, if the Imam was smiling, then
[99:10]she'd know that her son was doing well.
[99:14]Suddenly, she saw a change in the smile of Im Hussein.
[99:19]She said to him, "Abdah, tell me how's my boy doing?" He
[99:26]said, "Lila, I see them attacking him.
[99:29]But Leila, the dua of a mother is never rejecuted.
[99:35]Allah, the dua of your mom is never rejected." Never forget that
[99:42]in your life.
[99:41]The dua of a mother is never rejected.
[99:44]She called out to her Lord.
[99:47]She said, "Oh my Lord, you return you back to Oh my
[99:58]lord, you return my bag to return my ali to me.
[100:06]Within a few moments, he returned back to the tent.
[100:10]He managed to make it back.
[100:12]He went near his mother.
[100:14]Do you know why his mother's dua was answered?
[100:18]She asked with the was of Ysef to Yah.
[100:21]She asked with the was of but she also asked with another
[100:24]was what was it?
[100:28]I ask you in the name of the of return it.
[100:32]I ask you in the name of the he returned.
[100:39]He looked towards his mom.
[100:40]His mom hugged him.
[100:43]Yes.
[100:43]Then he looked at his father.
[100:45]He said father the thirst is killing me.
[100:54]He said, "Father, father, father, the thirst is killing me." Imam Hussein
[101:03]placed his tongue on the tongue of his boy.
[101:11]Akbar looked at his dad.
[101:16]He said, "Dad, your tongue is drier than mine.
[101:18]I wonder how dry was the mouth of Imam Hussein read a
[101:28]dua for him.
[101:30]He said, "Son, in a moment your grandfather will quench your thirst.
[101:33]Trust me, my son, your grandfather will quench your thirst." Akbar went
[101:40]out.
[101:41]A few moments later, he's calling out Imam Hussein ran out towards
[101:50]the battlefield and imagine the scene.
[101:53]His boy is on the ground.
[101:54]One of the poets, he says an unbelievable thing.
[101:57]He says it's as if I see a dagger in Akbar's chest.
[102:01]But he says it's as if I see Hussein saying looking at
[102:09]Naj, "Dad, you lifted the gate of but you never had to
[102:16]lift a dagger from the chest of your son.
[102:20]Come to my come to my car." I'm going to leave you
[102:25]with these lines, my dear brothers and sisters, and I ask you
[102:28]for dua.
[102:29]When he looked at him in his final moments, he saw him
[102:33]smile.
[102:33]Then he saw him cry.
[102:35]He said to him, "My son Ali, why do you smile?
[102:39]Why do you cry?" He said, "Father, I smile because I see
[102:46]my grandfather coming to quench my thirst." Allah.
[102:53]I smile because I see my grandfather coming to quench my thirst.
[103:01]So my son then why do you cry?
[103:05]He said because I see my grandmother fat in front.
[103:08]He said but what makes you cry?
[103:13]He said, "For every tear that you shed, I see a slink
[103:16]in front.
[103:22][Music] Who may Hi.
[103:46]Hi.
[103:48]Halle H.
[104:04]for ye who H [Music] mayo [Laughter] say amen.
[105:04]May more [Applause] or leech.
[105:35]was above.
[106:02]Oh god.
[106:07][Applause]
