Translation:

00:06 - 00:09
Sooner or later, the reappearance of the Imam (atfs) will happen.

00:09 - 00:16
However, the individuals who can be his servants and accompany him have at least one criteria

00:16 - 00:21
and that is to be light (burdenless). One word: light (burdenless). People who are weighed

00:21 - 00:26
down will be stuck to the ground. They cannot stand beside the Imam (atfs) to the end.

00:26 - 00:32
In the battle of Tabuk, a verse was revealed. The battle of Tabuk occurred in the 9th year after hijra.

00:32 - 00:38
The Holy Prophet (sawa) called on troops for Tabuk in Madinah for the battle against the people of Rum,

00:38 - 00:42
similar to the Western world of that time. The weather was extremely warm.

00:42 - 00:47
The Muslims had to travel 600 km (~400 miles) from Madinah to Tabuk. The weather was warm

00:47 - 00:51
and the hypocrites started a psychological battle and creating rumors.

00:51 - 00:54
They stated that they would perish traveling this far in the heat.

00:54 - 01:01
Some said it is harvest season and if we go there and return we will not have food to eat.

01:01 - 01:12
Others mentioned rumors that if they go, there will be women from Rum and they will suffer from temptations and hardships

01:12 - 01:19
At this time, this verse was revealed. Chapter Tawbah Verse 38 “Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo

01:19 - 01:25
ma lakum itha qeela lakumu infiroo fee sabeeli Allahi iththaqaltum ila al-ardi”

01:25 - 01:37
(Oh Believers, what happened to you? When it comes to Allah, do you feel weighted down to the earth?)

01:37 - 01:43
When it comes to this world, you jump like a spring and you are not tired. However, when it comes to God

01:43 - 01:52
and His work, accompanying the Wali of Allah you complain about the weather conditions and make other excuses.

01:52 - 01:58
“illa tanfiru fi sabilAllah ya azibkum azab alima” if you are not in the way of God (and His Wali)

01:58 - 02:03
you will experience great torment. All the exegists had reported that this great torment

02:03 - 02:09
discussed in this verse does not only pertain to the hereafter. In this life if someone chooses not

02:09 - 02:16
to be with the Wali of Allah they will suffer from lack of safety and great troubles. We have to be light (burdenless).
