[0:00]foreign [Music] huh [Applause] your Island along [Applause] love love life [Applause]
[2:26]foreign foreign [Applause] foreign respected brothers and sisters within the religious scriptures
[4:20]whether it is in the Torah in the Bible or the Psalms
[4:23]of David or the Quran we see that there is a recurring
[4:31]message a message that is repeated in the Divine scriptures the Allah
[4:37]has sent and that message is that at the end of times
[4:43]Justice will eventually be established that the kingdom of God that the
[4:54]kingdom of heaven will be ruling on this Earth after all of
[4:59]the oppression after all of the Tyranny that we are exposed to
[5:07]that we are seeing there is going to be a time that
[5:10]is a Divine time a time where a man of God who
[5:17]is from the descendants of rasulullah he will rule this earth and
[5:26]the message of the truth will be the overpowering message we see
[5:31]this in the study of eschatology Muslim the study of end of
[5:39]times the Muslim end of times the Christian end of times the
[5:41]Jewish end of times and perhaps other religions as well they're all
[5:48]unanimous in this belief that at the End of Time Justice will
[5:52]eventually be established and we see that this message is mentioned in
[5:58]the Quran and in previous scriptures and we shall bestow a favor
[6:13]upon those who were oppressed in the land and we will make
[6:16]them imams and we will make them the inheritors in another verse
[6:21]says in the Quran and in the Quran what is that message
[6:41]that at the end of time Justice will be established that the
[6:51]righteous they will be the inheritors of the Earth and we know
[6:57]that this promise of Allah will be manifested accepted by Muslims to
[7:17]if there was no day left in this Dunya and life on
[7:22]earth except one day Allah would prolong that day until God will
[7:35]send a man from my household from he will fill the Earth
[7:53]with Justice and establish peace and prosperity and Justice on Earth just
[7:58]as it has been filled before that with tyranny and oppression and
[8:05]we believe that this man the Savior who is the promise in
[8:11]the Torah and the promise in the Angel and the promise in
[8:13]the zabur of David This Promise is also the promise in the
[8:21]Quran and that is Imam foreign he will reveal himself he will
[8:44]announce his message at the time of Asha prayer at the time
[8:47]of Asha prayer and along with him will be the flag and
[8:54]the banner of rasulullah and the shirt of the Prophet was saved
[9:02]for and the sword of rasulallah and he will have signs and
[9:12]he will have the light that will be with him and the
[9:14]Hadith tells us will declare himself as the inheritor of the prophets
[9:23]he will stand by the Kaaba and he will say whoever is
[9:28]the follower of Ibrahim Ibrahim whoever is the follower of Musa then
[9:33]I am the inheritor of Musa whoever is the follower of Jesus
[9:39]Isa then I am the inheritor of Jesus and whoever is the
[9:42]follower of rasulullah and I am the inheritor of rasulullah and then
[9:49]he will declare his message he will declare his message by the
[9:53]Kaaba and the narrations tell us that the first that will descend
[9:57]and give Baya to the Imam will be will come down and
[10:05]he will be the first one who gives him and after ill
[10:09]313 Believers Allah will raise them they will be from their homes
[10:19]suddenly they will find themselves there through a miraculous way and these
[10:26]313 they will be the ones who will be giving Baya and
[10:29]that is the same number of supporters of rasulullah on the day
[10:38]of Badr now after Makkah the narrations tell us that Imam will
[10:43]make his way to Jerusalem and there will be several conflicts and
[10:50]when he makes his way to Jerusalem there Jesus will come down
[10:55]as the Messiah because we know that the Christians are waiting for
[10:59]the second coming of Jesus and even the Jews they're waiting for
[11:06]the Messiah the Messiah will come down and when he comes down
[11:09]in a Hadith from how will you be if the son of
[11:21]Mary descends and the Imam the one who will be leading the
[11:24]prayer will be from you meaning will be the one who will
[11:31]lead the prayer and then will establish his government where the followers
[11:37]of Jesus and the followers of the Messiah who is Jesus and
[11:45]the Muslims they will all be on one side versus the enemies
[11:48]of the truth and the enemies of God and our narrations tell
[11:53]us that he his headquarters and the place of his government will
[11:57]be kufa the place the headquarters of the governments of Salam and
[12:04]home the home of the Imam will be Masjid which is very
[12:10]close to Masjid al-kuffa now I wanted to give us a glimpse
[12:20]of the government and the kingdom of heaven a glimpse of the
[12:25]kingdom and the government of Imam Sharif because he will rule in
[12:34]a way that no one has ruled before other than and Suleiman
[12:40]and rasulullah for a brief while because in this history of man
[12:48]on Earth there has only been very very brief moments where a
[12:53]man who's a true man of God was ruling this was during
[12:59]the time of dawood during the time of Suleiman and during the
[13:03]time of rasulullah and during the time of America but even them
[13:09]they did not rule the full Earth describes that that be greater
[13:18]than the government of Suleiman and Suleiman had the authority of the
[13:22]Jinn and the humans and the animals and everything was under his
[13:26]jurisdiction but the government of Imam almadi will be even greater than
[13:33]that and it will be a very unique government that no one
[13:37]has seen before one of the features of the government of the
[13:43]Imam it will be a government that is led by a pure
[13:48]man a government a kingdom that is ruled by that has a
[13:53]pure leadership where do you find this in history where do you
[13:58]find where you have pure and Immaculate and the masum leading this
[14:03]has never happened in history only for brief moments brief times in
[14:10]history dawood Suleiman will be following in the footsteps of the prophets
[14:20]it will be following the message of the prophets this is why
[14:26]even when we talk about Imam Al Hussain he is the inheritor
[14:37]of the prophets Hussein was killed he will be truly resembling and
[14:46]manifesting the governments of the prophets of Allah and this is this
[14:55]is the leadership this is something unique in the governments of Imam
[15:02]where even our narrations tell us that he will find the original
[15:10]taurat and he will find the original Bible in Jill and then
[15:13]he will tell the people this is the original word of God
[15:18]that revealed that was revealed upon Musa and Raisa and the prophets
[15:22]of Allah people will see that it is in line it is
[15:28]synchronized with his own message and the true men of God and
[15:34]people who have been with God you see that all of their
[15:36]messages will be aligned with the message of Imam Sharif some narrations
[15:46]tell us the people of the Cave the Dwellers of the cave
[15:50]they will come and they will be from the supporters of Imam
[15:54]Sharif and several of those who were with God their mission and
[16:03]we see that the mission and the message of Imam and Mahdi
[16:08]will be aligned with theirs so this is one the leadership is
[16:12]immaculate the leadership is pure and divine second feature of the government
[16:18]of Imam Sharif is that it is a government that is not
[16:26]based upon race not based upon nationalism not based upon color not
[16:32]based upon any of these things that are very predominant now but
[16:39]rather it will be a message that is based upon taqwa a
[16:43]government that is based upon Islam and people despite their diversity despite
[16:49]the color of their skin despite their languages they will all be
[16:56]gathered and United under the banner of Imam today we see many
[17:00]governments they rise but these governments are built upon racism these governments
[17:05]are built upon nationalism these governments are based upon one identity I'm
[17:11]from this I'm from this part of the world I'm from this
[17:16]part of the world the government of Imam is going to be
[17:18]very different the government will be a government based upon Humanity and
[17:24]following the verse in Surah um the one who is closest in
[17:43]the eyes of Allah is not the one who has this color
[17:44]skin or the one who drives this car or the one who
[17:49]holds this passport and has this citizenship no the one who will
[17:54]be the closest in the eyes of Allah and the government of
[17:58]the Imam will be the one who is more God conscious and
[18:01]this is the second feature of the government of ma'am a third
[18:09]feature my dear brothers and sisters is that all other ideologies will
[18:15]become of the past all other ways all other systems we have
[18:22]one reason today Scholars they say one of the reasons why there's
[18:27]actual Hadith that imply this message why has Allah delayed the Imam
[18:33]one Hadith it says so that every ideology so that every group
[18:39]of people so that communism rules so that socialism rules so that
[18:44]capitalism rules so that feminist rules so that any any type of
[18:47]ideology let them say okay you believe you're better you believe you
[18:50]have the solution now you come in your role and then you
[18:56]see that all of these isms all of these systems they are
[19:03]falling apart all of these systems they have a void they probably
[19:06]give you a solution from one aspect but they create problems from
[19:10]another aspect whereas the government of Imam and Mahdi will be a
[19:14]holistic government a government that gives us peace a government that gives
[19:19]us real solutions to our problems and this is the government of
[19:26]Allah the system that God has given us when Allah tells us
[19:29]I've given you the system Allah knows what's better for us Allah
[19:34]knows what's good for man what's good for a woman what's good
[19:38]for the environment what's good a good uh economic system a good
[19:41]social system a good all of these systems this is what Allah
[19:45]has given us but when we come and we say no we
[19:48]want this type of system we want this type of government that
[19:51]means we're saying we know better than God so here gives us
[19:54]Allah will delay the arrival of Imam until every system has ruled
[20:03]and failed then they will realize that we have no other choice
[20:06]we have no other hope there is no other solution other than
[20:12]the government of Imam and this is where Allah says in the
[20:17]Quran so that this message will overcome and overpower and take over
[20:50]all other messages even if people don't like that even if people
[20:54]are not happy with that Justice will eventually be established and here
[21:01]in a Hadith those the real people of God the Real Men
[21:15]of God when we give them power and authority to rule in
[21:20]the land what is the first thing they're going to do establish
[21:27]prayer today you see even some religious politicians when they kept when
[21:33]they get power they start forgetting God they don't pray anymore he
[21:51]says and his companions Allah will give them authority of the East
[22:05]and the west of the earth and falsehood will die just like
[22:22]the safiha the people who are on the false they killed the
[22:25]truth but the time of Imam and Mahdi falsehood will be that
[22:28]which dies there will be no oppression when the government of God
[22:36]when a real government of God is established will there be oppression
[22:40]anymore will there be Injustice anymore no it will be like the
[22:44]governments of it will be like the government of rasulullah where there
[22:52]is no oppression and there will be reform there will be enjoining
[23:02]of the good and the forbidding of the evil and the ending
[23:08]belongs to Allah we have narrations he says rules Will Rule people
[23:21]will think he's bringing a new religion why because there has been
[23:25]so much deviance from the truth we have been derailed from the
[23:32]haq so far where when when he comes people are going to
[23:35]think he's bringing a new religion he will invite people to Islam
[23:49]all over again why because people have derailed people have deviated from
[23:57]the truth and he will call them to a message that has
[24:09]been erased and everyone has left it so people will be invited
[24:15]to the religion of Islam again and this is why he's named
[24:26]Mahdi because he will guide to something that people are very deviated
[24:30]away from something that people are very far from Mahdi means the
[24:35]one who guides the one who is guided and the one who
[24:39]guides so this is why his name because he's going to guide
[24:42]people once again so this is one of the features of the
[24:50]government of Imam and the kingdom of heaven another very important feature
[24:55]my dear brothers and sisters is that the Imam alaihissalam he will
[25:01]be maximizing human potential when we think of the Imam don't only
[25:07]think of someone who's going to come read Quran and pray and
[25:12]get us closer to God this is not only the job of
[25:17]the imams the job of the Imam is to maximize human potential
[25:20]Allah created the human being and Allah wants the human being to
[25:24]reach their Highest Potential you reach your Highest Potential in terms of
[25:30]economics in terms of technology in terms of socializing with others in
[25:35]all dimensions of life we have to reach our Highest Potential have
[25:40]we reached that yet we have not reached that in fact in
[25:44]some places of the world we see we're advancing we're taking one
[25:48]step forward and two steps back maybe we're advancing in terms of
[25:52]Technology but in terms of morality and ethics are we advancing or
[25:57]falling back in some places he will maximize human potential in all
[26:03]Scopes and dimensions of life and how does he do that he
[26:11]does that through knowledge he does that through advancement of knowledge right
[26:16]now just think about the last hundred years the last 150 years
[26:23]150 years ago you asked someone that was living 150 years ago
[26:27]did you imagine that you would reach where we are right now
[26:30]in 150 years they had no clue they would never have imagined
[26:34]so now imagine where we would be when the Imam comes when
[26:43]our intellect when our atal is complete you know a lot of
[26:46]us when we mentioned the name of the Imam what do people
[26:49]do as soon as they hear the name of the Imam they
[26:50]put their hand on their head a lot of us we don't
[26:54]know why we do that it's become something that's common practice we
[26:57]don't know why we do it the Hadith he says he says
[27:15]when the Imam Rises he will place his head his hand on
[27:21]the heads of the people of the ibad and the intellect will
[27:23]become complete and then people will reach their Highest Potential people will
[27:29]achieve their dreams not only the dreams in terms of finances in
[27:33]terms of living a comfortable life in fact narrations tell us that
[27:38]when the Imam comes people will have no use of money anymore
[27:42]because people will have reached a level of perfection that this money
[27:46]has no value anymore everyone's Highest Potential will be used and this
[27:55]is this is how he will do it but he will do
[27:57]it through knowledge through education foreign Muhammad Muhammad foreign but since the
[30:01]beginning of time we see that always those who were with God
[30:09]those who are with the truth they have been oppressed and marginalized
[30:15]you see the first story of Oppression that took place the story
[30:22]of kabil and habila is one of the brothers he kills his
[30:42]own his brother and he kills Kabir and kills habil and habil
[30:45]was the one with the haq the sacrifice of habil was the
[30:51]one that was accepted but you see the children of Adam Kabir
[30:57]kills habil truth was marginalized truth was oppressed and then we see
[31:03]that this has been going on throughout history throughout history the people
[31:09]of the truth the people with the haq they've always been pushed
[31:15]aside the biggest example is there anyone who was more truthful and
[31:22]the haq was with him he had the haq he was the
[31:30]first to believe in the Prophet The Prophet appointed him all the
[31:33]truth and the hajjas with him but look what happened to Amir
[31:37]for 25 years he was marginalized and then when the power came
[31:43]to him for five years wars were waged against him three Wars
[31:46]and battles were waged against him but why was marginalized because he
[31:53]was with the haq and he says in a statement he says
[31:59]he says being with the truth has made me lonely being with
[32:04]the truth has not left left me any friends everyone turned against
[32:09]because they cannot handle being with the truth and in fact even
[32:15]some people they came and they told Imam Ali they told him
[32:19]you're not smart you're not a good leader maybe you're good and
[32:22]in Salah maybe you're good in other things but you're not a
[32:26]good political leader look at what mohawi is doing was able to
[32:31]defeat politically yes in the in the battle he did not defeat
[32:39]but because he was mischievous because he would betray he was able
[32:44]to at the end of the life of you see that the
[32:48]land that was ruled by Amir began to shrink because muawei had
[32:54]his raids and his people they were attacking and raiding the side
[32:59]of so some people they came and they told Amir wow we
[33:06]are smarter than you wow we are smarter Maui has more he's
[33:09]very he's more tactical than you you're not as smart as mahawiya
[33:16]what did amironment in reply he says not smarter than me is
[33:31]not smarter than me the difference between me and mahavi is that
[33:37]I'm afraid of God and he's not afraid of God he betrays
[33:41]he backstabs he attacks and I don't do that and if I
[33:48]were to do that then I would have been the smartest of
[33:51]the people so you see that this is a trend since the
[33:54]beginning of time the people with the haq have been marginalized the
[33:58]people with the truth have been oppressed rasulullah who is oppressed the
[34:03]imams of the all of them they were oppressed one after the
[34:11]other and until today we see being with the truth is not
[34:14]easy today ask yourself ask yourself this question being with the haq
[34:20]and being with the truth and praying on time and practicing hijab
[34:25]and giving your zakats and your homes and fulfilling your religious obligations
[34:29]is that easy or do you feel like everyone else around you
[34:34]is enjoying life or everyone is against you because you are with
[34:38]the truth today many Muslims they find it hard to practice their
[34:45]religion and I was made aware of this law that was passed
[34:49]just a few days ago here in the in Michigan a few
[34:55]days ago Michigan lawmakers they passed a radical LGBT Civil Rights bill
[35:02]without religious Liberties exemptions meaning adding to human rights adding to that
[35:10]the rights of LGBT but there's no religious exemptions this means that
[35:16]this bill and it was passed by the lawmakers and it just
[35:21]needs to be signed by the governor meaning that this bill if
[35:25]it's passed now religious organizations and institutions could be targeted because of
[35:33]their beliefs if their beliefs are against the lgbtq if for example
[35:37]you believe this is wrong or if you believe that a marriage
[35:41]is between a man and a woman or you believe the or
[35:42]you reject you refuse to conduct a marriage between two men this
[35:48]could be considered a hate crime you could be considered someone who's
[35:52]committing a hate crime so this is this is recent this is
[35:58]this was just passed and actually care they're having uh a talk
[36:02]about this on Sunday and talking to the religious organizations on how
[36:08]to deal with this challenge how to protect yourself and dealing with
[36:12]this challenge so this is one example of the struggles of being
[36:17]with God and being with the truth you're going to always find
[36:24]struggles you're going to always find being with the haq you're marginalized
[36:28]now we were talking about the government of Imam when the Imam
[36:36]rules the Imam is going to not only bring power and authority
[36:41]to religions but he will also give dignity and Karama to those
[36:45]who are standing with God today you see a lot of those
[36:49]people who are with the truth their their dignity is even taken
[36:53]away from them they're attacked and all dimensions but we see the
[36:59]Dua that we will be reciting during the holy month of Ramadan
[37:05]and this Dua was a Dua that was passed on from Imam
[37:07]to teach us how to do Dua for him at the end
[37:12]of the Dua we say Allah we turn to you for a
[37:26]government that gives us dignity a generous government that honors human life
[37:31]and human dignity to give dignity to Islam and to the people
[37:40]who are following the truth ever since history from the beginning until
[37:44]now you see those who are with the haq they are marginalized
[37:50]they're pushed aside but one of the main features of the government
[37:53]of the Imam is that he will give and Quran and glory
[38:01]and honor to those who follow the truth is you follow the
[38:15]truth during the time of the Imam you will be dignified in
[38:22]this life and in the afterlife we ask Allah to hasten the
[38:26]reappearance of the Imam of our time and to make us from
[38:34]his sincere and loyal followers my dear brothers and sisters I've mentioned
[38:39]this before a lot of times we ask when will the Imam
[38:41]come we're waiting we're getting tired why is it why hasn't the
[38:43]Imam appeared yet you know how we should change this question we
[38:49]have to change the question around and I have to ask myself
[38:54]when am I going to be ready for the Imam when am
[38:55]I going to change myself when am I going to change my
[38:59]habits Allah is very clear in the Quran Allah is not going
[39:07]to change the matters and the circumstances of a group of people
[39:10]until they change it until they make the change it seems that
[39:16]we haven't made the change and the imams of the bed they
[39:22]all went through this people would come to the Imam someone comes
[39:27]to Imam and he tells him are you going to be the
[39:29]one who is established Justice tells him no it's not me we
[39:37]have to wait for people we have to wait for people to
[39:42]make the change people came to him saying they tell him please
[39:44]please may we're ready to fight with you we'll make the change
[39:46]we'll do whatever you want he took his family he went all
[39:53]the way to Iraq and what did they do to him the
[39:55]same people that were calling him they killed him here's the biggest
[40:01]fear that we should have that maybe we're calling the Imam we're
[40:06]saying and when the Imam comes we might be telling him no
[40:10]no we're not ready for you right now our it's inconvenient right
[40:14]now come back next year maybe we'll be ready next year this
[40:18]is the Calamity that we are dealing with my dear brothers and
[40:23]sisters that's why we have to always ask Allah foreign always ask
[40:25]Allah to make you ready and I was mentioning last night in
[40:31]my lecture there's a full chapter in alcafi which the the message
[40:35]of this chapter is it doesn't matter if you are with the
[40:39]Imam or not with the Imam as long as you believe in
[40:40]the Imam if you believe in the Imam and you change your
[40:45]life then it will be as if you are from the sincerest
[40:47]followers of the Imam so we ask Allah to hasten the reappearance
[40:55]of the Imam of our time my dear brothers and sisters I
[40:59]wanted to remind you that inshallah the month of Ramadan is approaching
