[0:11]respected brothers and sisters assalamu alaikum ahmed and analyzing the great dua

[0:25]of joshua we realized that this dua is a beautiful du'a that

[0:29]enables us to reconnect to allah azzawajal and likewise it enables us

[0:35]to better understand our creator our lord to understand the attributes of

[0:45]allah and thus you found the forgiveness of allah azzawajal that we

[0:49]showed the different levels as seen in joshua tonight i'd like to

[0:56]move on and analyze another du'a that has the same name it

[1:01]is also called but many of us are not familiar with it

[1:05]many of us maybe have not heard of it or if we've

[1:08]heard of it we have not read it or if we have

[1:11]read it we have not understood it if you open the book

[1:17]of al mafi you will find two dua's with the name of

[1:20]el josen the first is that is the one we spoke about

[1:27]last night it's the one we recite in the knights of leila

[1:29]and then you will find another dua of el josen another du'a

[1:34]of el joshen called jose what's the difference between joshua sareer and

[1:41]joshua the difference between them is that they both provide protection because

[1:47]remember we said joshen means armor provides protection for you but the

[1:51]difference is number one much longer and thus it's called kabir dua

[1:57]it's much shorter and thus it's called sareer and number two it

[2:04]provides general protection from all harms whether the harms of the dunya

[2:11]or the harms of the akhara as we mentioned while dua el

[2:16]josh is used to protect you from the harm of an enemy

[2:19]that you have if you have any enemy that is causing you

[2:22]trouble that is oppressing you then this is the time to recite

[2:27]yo because in the end you invoke the wrath and the curse

[2:33]of allah on that enemy and allah wa ta'ala will protect you

[2:38]over your enemy this is dua so i'd like to analyze the

[2:44]tonight in sha allah so that we can better appreciate it and

[2:50]understand why did the imam recite this dua there's a story behind

[3:03]it it was during the khilafah of because of the government of

[3:18]banil abbas became very oppressive and they began to spread tyranny one

[3:22]of the descendants of al-imam al-hasan alaihissalam by the name of al-hussein

[3:28]ibn ali he decided to revolt just like his uncle imam hussain

[3:33]he has the same name hussein ali as of ali he revolts

[3:39]with about a hundred men hundred companions similar to the story of

[3:44]imam hussain he revolts against the khalifa of the time banil abbas

[3:48]and he what he is killed not only is he killed the

[3:52]100 men with him are killed and their heads are severed and

[3:58]placed on what they are placed on the spears and his woman

[4:01]are taken as war prisoners exactly the story that we read that

[4:08]the that we know about karbala imam hussain happened to al-hussein because

[4:13]that is where he was massacred imam hussain was massacred in karbala

[4:19]he is the shaheed of karbala al-hussein is the shahid that you

[4:25]find ali says in one hadith if it was not for imam

[4:28]hussain and karbala the greatest tragedy for ahlulbait was the tragedy of

[4:35]so after al hussain ali the shaheed is killed he is now

[4:44]enraged he's angry who does he accuse and blame behind this revolution

[4:49]he accuses of being behind this revolution and he is the one

[4:57]that motivated the hussain he is the one that instigated them so

[5:00]what does he decide he decides to secretly assassinate alima milk alvin

[5:06]he secretly makes up a very evil plan he devises a plot

[5:12]a plan to secretly assassinate ali while he is making that plan

[5:20]he notices and he realizes that this plan is what against them

[5:26]was one of the shia of imam i'll speak more about him

[5:31]the subsequent night and he was inside the government of manila abbas

[5:35]doing hears that there is the secret plan to kill imam al-qaeda

[5:41]what does he do he quickly sends a letter to alimony informing

[5:46]him that he is devising a secret plan to assassinate you so

[5:52]be it's reported that that same night he saw rasulullah the seventh

[6:12]imam saw rasulullah in his dream and the prophet told him that

[6:15]do not worry do not fear musa because allah will take him

[6:21]down in a few days subhanallah only two three days passed musa

[6:25]died and harun became the next khalifa and thus it became a

[6:33]sunnah of the followers of imam al-kawam anytime there is an oppressive

[6:39]enemy there is someone that you fear you recite and you invoke

[6:45]the wrath of allah on that enemy and allah will protect you

[6:51]from that enemy where do we find josh the earliest book that

[6:58]cites and mentions this is the book of muhaj one of the

[7:14]greatest ulama of the shia school of thought is a sheikhotrusi he

[7:18]is the founder of the house of najaf one thousand years ago

[7:22]a sheikh tusi had a grandson by the name of a sayyid

[7:27]eben pause he was not his son's son he was his the

[7:31]son of his daughter that's why he was saying it and a

[7:33]sheikh was sheikh if anyone's wondering was one of our also greatest

[7:40]one of the things that he did is that he would compile

[7:44]the ahadith that contained any dua one of the imams recited he

[7:48]would compile them and he finally published a book called mohajud and

[7:54]he has other books about du'a as well in this book mohajjud

[7:59]he narrates from one of the companions of al-imam al-qaeda by the

[8:06]name of abdullah bin zayed now contrary to the al-jaws if you

[8:17]remember meaning there's a missing link between al-qaeda and the imam abedin

[8:21]we don't know who the narrator is the chain of narrators between

[8:24]al-qaeda in aberdeen it is unknown for us but what makes dua

[8:31]unique is that it is muslim told us exactly how he received

[8:40]this hadith from imam alayhi from four people so he had four

[8:56]sources all of them they were narrating one of those four was

[9:02]one of the most esteemed that we have that he had written

[9:08]books on the different narrators and are they trustworthy or are they

[9:14]not reliable so a sayid was from his grandfather sheikha tusi from

[9:20]four narrators one of them being ibn al-ghava these four narrators from

[9:25]shaybani ashaibani from from abdullah bin zayed abdullah heaven said was one

[9:31]of the companions of imam al-kaab so the hadith says abdullah bin

[9:37]zayed says that it was a custom that the ashab of al-imam

[9:40]al-qaeda alaihissalam they would gather every day to see al-imam al-khafim alayhi

[9:46]to see him they would gather because remember this is before the

[9:52]uh of benil abbas they made the life of al-imam al-qaeda very

[9:57]difficult and they persecuted him and i will mention this in a

[9:59]few days inshaallah when i speak about of how the life of

[10:04]an imam al-kawam became a life of difficulty from the authorities that

[10:07]the imam had no freedom to teach but this was in the

[10:12]early stages before they had persecuted the imam al-kawam he still had

[10:16]some freedom abdullah bin zayed says it was a custom the companions

[10:19]of imam al-kawam and some of his relatives they would gather every

[10:22]day in the medullas of the imam and the imam would speak

[10:26]he would teach he would teach his companions about fitra about the

[10:31]laws of halal he would teach them about theology he would teach

[10:36]them tafsir of quran he would teach them it was a majulis

[10:40]that the seventh imam had every day and his followers would attend

[10:46]and they would learn abdullah ibn zaid he says when we would

[10:49]come we would hide a pen and paper in our sleeves why

[10:53]because you would not want to be caught narrating a hadith of

[10:57]i'll speak more about that in sha allah in a couple of

[11:01]days he says we would all hide a piece of paper and

[11:05]pen so that every time the imam would speak we would write

[11:07]it down some people think that hadith that we have now it's

[11:12]all the narrators would hear and they would memorize and then they

[11:15]would narrate it to others no most of the hadith they were

[11:17]written down as soon as would say something the narrators would write

[11:22]it down as soon as would say something the narrators would write

[11:26]it down as soon as speak you have certain occasions where hundreds

[11:33]of narrators would all be ready to write one hadith and we

[11:40]have an example that happened in nisabur when imam went to he

[11:44]stopped in nisabur and they told him to tell us a hadith

[11:47]from your grandfather he told them the hadith of where rasulullah says

[11:56]the hadith says that there were hundreds hundreds of narrators all they

[12:03]had their papers and their pens ready to write the hadith of

[12:07]imam so abdullah bin zayed says anytime al-imam al-qatham would speak we

[12:13]would take out the piece of paper we would write and then

[12:17]we would hide it back in our slaves he says one day

[12:22]we noticed he started to do sugar he started to thank allah

[12:30]azzawajal and then the imam began to recite a dua that we

[12:32]had never heard before so because this is a new dua everyone

[12:38]in that gathering they took out their pen and paper and they

[12:41]began to write this beautiful dua the imam began to say and

[12:48]then he continued in what is now and many of his companions

[13:02]they narrated it and then it was passed from generation to generation

[13:07]he compiled it in his book and we have the book of

[13:11]muharra it's available now now al-imam al-qaeda he recited because we said

[13:20]musal hadi was out after the imam to kill him so obviously

[13:25]in the end he invoked the wrath of allah against musa the

[13:29]khalifa abdullah says we finished the du'a with the imam we prayed

[13:33]salah he says the next time we came and we had our

[13:38]jail we had our gathering with the seventh imam in the middle

[13:41]of the jail someone brought news that musa has died subhanallah how

[13:48]quickly and that's why as i said it became a sunnah the

[13:55]followers the companions they noticed that anytime you have an enemy this

[13:59]enemy is causing you any trouble go to allah subhanahu ta'ala and

[14:06]recite and allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will make you victorious over your

[14:09]enemy so this is the dua of joshua now i'd like to

[14:14]analyze the content of this du'a what does this do contain now

[14:17]i'm just going to analyze it one night so just a brief

[14:21]overview of dua so abdullah ibn zaid he says we notice that

[14:27]imam began with this line he said the imam said this this

[14:32]is how al joshen begins [Music] he says we notice the imam

[14:44]began to speak to allah and he told them ya allah you

[14:46]know how many enemies i have these enemies have taken out the

[14:52]sword of their venom the sword of their evil and they are

[14:55]just waiting to strike me because what musa is plotting against so

[15:01]he says you know how many enemies i am surrounded by these

[15:13]enemies are conspiring against me these enemies are trying to take me

[15:18]down these enemies are trying to defeat me so this is on

[15:22]one side the imam spoke about how he has enemies and the

[15:24]enemies are trying to conspire against him but then the imam he

[15:28]moves on to the second point after that the imam says but

[15:34]you ya allah have not left me you have not forsaken me

[15:37]because [Music] i have so many enemies that are trying to take

[15:52]me down and defeat me but from the other side i have

[15:57]yu ya allah with me to protect me to defend me to

[16:02]support me to guard me against their evil and subhanallah this is

[16:05]a dua that i think every one of us can relate to

[16:09]and that i think every one of us we've went through times

[16:12]in our lives where we've had certain enemies who want us to

[16:17]fail sometimes it's because what sometimes it's because of envy some people

[16:21]envy you because you're successful yes they have hasset they direct the

[16:26]evil eye against you and they try to plot against you because

[16:31]they don't want you to be successful they try to plot against

[16:35]you they try to conspire against you you will hear that they

[16:38]held a medless against you they're trying to defame you they're trying

[16:45]to tarnish your reputation they're trying to tell people in the community

[16:50]that you are no good that you are this instilling fear in

[16:52]people's hearts against you or for example they're trying to discourage people

[16:57]from befriending you from coming to see you from coming for example

[17:03]to the masjid or the hussainiya that you servant i'm sure every

[17:06]single one of us has a story about that enemies that are

[17:09]trying to conspire against us and sometimes these enemies are conspiring against

[17:14]us and we have no idea we are sleeping we don't know

[17:19]but allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not sleep allah azzawajal protects us

[17:26]can see these evil individuals and how they're trying to take you

[17:32]down how they're trying to make you feel allah azzawajal is there

[17:36]to protect you many times brothers and sisters we begin to lose

[17:39]hope we see enemies that are more in numbers than us they

[17:44]are more powerful than us they may have more resources than us

[17:48]they are filled with hate with venom with animosity and they have

[17:51]sinister plans against us you begin to lose hope how will i

[17:57]prevail against these enemies reminds us that remember you have allah subhanahu

[18:03]wa allah and if you have allah all you need is allah

[18:09]azzawajal you don't need anything else you do not need lawyers you

[18:13]do not need money you do not need supporters you do not

[18:16]need anything but allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this is why he

[18:23]says what has he gained the one that doesn't have allah you

[18:29]see those enemies they think that they have everything they have money

[18:32]they have the numbers their shrewd they use these evil tactics against

[18:36]you sometimes the tactics that even the shaitan himself is puzzled at

[18:40]they have everything but they don't have allah they like allah the

[18:45]imam says these people have nothing and then the imam says and

[18:53]the one that has nothing but allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala he has no

[18:58]money no supporters he does not have anyone to help him but

[19:01]he has allah subhanahu ta'ala the imam says this person has everything

[19:07]reminds us that if you have an enemy even if the enemy

[19:12]sometimes could be living in your own house this person is abusing

[19:14]you in your own house and he's taking advantage of you and

[19:19]you have no one to support you know that allah azzawajal is

[19:22]there so the imam then continues and then he says so i

[19:34]praise you you are allah i praise you ya allah for two

[19:38]things number one you are mukta and you are powerful ya allah

[19:43]you are more powerful than all my enemies no matter how much

[19:46]might they have and money and power allah azza is more powerful

[19:52]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the most powerful so this is number

[19:55]one and number two allah azzawajal is patient what does that mean

[20:01]allah sometimes he allows the enemy to what to take his term

[20:07]he does not defeat your enemy right then in the beginning why

[20:11]because allah is wise he is tolerable and he is patient allah

[20:15]wants to test you allah sometimes tests every time i have an

[20:29]enemy i raise my hands the next day allah for example brings

[20:31]down thunder fire and he defeats my enemy this is not a

[20:36]test allah sometimes tests us through our enemies so i ask allah

[20:39]why is this person causing me so much trouble why allah do

[20:43]i have so many enemies maybe it's because what maybe it's because

[20:47]is trying to test my patience so allah is patient he may

[20:53]not bring down the nasr he may not bring down the big

[20:57]the victory right then and there but allah azzawajal in the end

[21:00]he will make you prevail after testing you and seeing your patience

[21:05]allah subhanahu wa allah will then help you so then the imam

[21:10]says muhammad make me thank you for all the you have given

[21:40]me and guide me to always remembering you why does the imam

[21:44]say this because like i said many times brothers and sisters when

[21:48]we are faced with the enemy we lose hope we forget about

[21:53]allah we forget that there is allah a powerful creator that is

[21:55]there to support me and to create you know many people they

[21:57]commit suicide why when they have so many problems in their life

[22:01]because they forget that allah is there that allah can take you

[22:06]out of the biggest problem no matter how big your problem is

[22:09]it's not bigger than allah it's not too difficult upon allah but

[22:13]the problem is when we fail in remembering allah and there is

[22:18]a creator allah who can save us this is when we become

[22:20]despondent we lose hope we lose faith and sometimes we may think

[22:26]about what we may think about suicide while the one that has

[22:30]allah subhanahu wa he knows allah is there yes sometimes you have

[22:32]to be patient allah will test you there will be difficulties but

[22:38]in the end allah subhanahu wa will give you triumph so the

[22:42]imam says that learn to trust allah any time you have an

[22:48]enemy trust allah azzawajal he will protect you he is the greatest

[22:51]protector and he will not let you down and me brothers and

[22:58]sisters i have a personal story with the joshua this is the

[23:00]first time maybe i'm ever sharing it i remember a couple of

[23:06]years ago all of a sudden one day someone comes to me

[23:08]and he tells me say do you know that for the last

[23:12]couple of months there is someone in the community who is conspiring

[23:17]against you trying to destroy your reputation in the community i had

[23:21]no idea like i said i was sleeping say it this person

[23:25]has so much money he has the best lawyers this person has

[23:28]supporters this person is smart intelligence he is unique he is using

[23:33]his satanic methods against you and he has forged documents against you

[23:40]it's a done deal there's nothing you can do it came down

[23:44]like thunder upon me this is my personal story and this person

[23:48]was a munafir meaning in the community people respected him he was

[23:55]a hajj and let me even add to it not only was

[23:56]he had he was a saiyan so if he says anything people

[24:03]would believe him and he was someone popular in the community that

[24:07]everyone would respect and he wanted to take down my reputation i

[24:15]was a muslim in that case so i thought to myself what

[24:20]should i do who should i go to any person i go

[24:23]to they won't believe me because this person is so respectful in

[24:26]the community and he has forged some evidence he's conspired with other

[24:30]people paid the money to make false testimonies i thought to myself

[24:37]i lost hope who do i go to even my family members

[24:41]wallahi i doubted that they would stand with me and this is

[24:44]when i remember it i have allah subhanahu wa ta'ala no matter

[24:48]how shrewd and powerful this man is he cannot outsmart allah subhanahu

[24:55]wa ta'ala he cannot defeat allah azzawajal allah knows that i am

[24:59]muthulum in this case and i had no idea i had no

[25:02]idea that this person was even planning this against me i never

[25:05]even had a problem with this person so i decided one night

[25:12]to resort to allah azzawajal and i remembered this i think this

[25:16]is the only time in my life i have have read i

[25:19]have read it against someone yes i have studied it i have

[25:23]read it just to understand it but reading it against someone invoking

[25:29]it against someone this is the first time i had done it

[25:31]in my life because in the end of the when you end

[25:35]it you ask allah to bring down his punishment his wrath upon

[25:39]your enemy and you may you mention his name you mention his

[25:43]name and the name of his father nothing against his father but

[25:45]just two you know make sure it's a specific person so don't

[25:48]just say muhammad and there's a thousand muhammads for example so you

[25:53]say allah i ask you to destroy this person you mentioned the

[26:00]name this is the first and only time i had recited against

[26:04]someone because wallahi i had no other way out if i would

[26:09]have told anyone they would have sided with that person i needed

[26:14]a miracle from allah subhanahu wa ta'ala i sat down with khushu

[26:17]and hudu i turned to allah and i told them ya allah

[26:21]you know that i have no one and no one will believe

[26:22]me if i go unless i have to convince so many people

[26:25]because he had brainwashed people to think that this is true so

[26:29]i sat and i recited this beautiful and i continued all of

[26:39]it i finished that wallahi brothers and sisters i cannot tell you

[26:44]how the event began to unfold in my favor in the next

[26:50]couple of weeks to the extent wallahi his own mother stopped talking

[26:55]to him his own brothers and sisters disavowed him his own family

[27:01]members who were the backbone of his supporters they all disassociated him

[27:06]they all stopped talking to him they all considered him as the

[27:11]biggest violin and i did nothing i did nothing i did not

[27:15]have to mobilize people i did not have to call fulan and

[27:16]fulan i did nothing i just sat down and i watched allah

[27:24]subhanahu wa'ta'ala protect me and defend me and support me it is

[27:28]a story that unbelievable how allah subhanahu wa ta'ala supports you when

[27:34]you have no one but allah a couple of weeks later he

[27:38]comes to my door he comes he wants to kiss my hand

[27:44]and apologize well if i would have spent millions of dollars i

[27:47]don't think i could have received such a result how did that

[27:51]happen i went to allah and i recited brothers and sisters wallahi

[27:59]this is such a powerful i don't know why most people don't

[28:02]use it some people they come they just complain complain about this

[28:05]enemy about this enemy about this person who's causing them problems in

[28:08]the community in the household here there allah azzawajal the imams have

[28:12]taught us such a beautiful imam he died three days later and

[28:20]subhanallah i have read it and i have seen the beautiful results

[28:23]of it and i know stories of other people who have recited

[28:29]allah has showed them his power allah azzawajal had showed them how

[28:34]he always supports the mother now sometimes remember you have to be

[28:38]patient so don't read it and expect right away because allah azzawajal

[28:45]wants to test your patience at times allah azzawajal wants to see

[28:49]will you go against him will you start to lose faith in

[28:52]him or no you will be patient but the point is this

[28:56]is one of the most beautiful du'as of ahlulbay to read its

[28:58]brothers and sisters read it and see how allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[29:04]is there for the one who goes to him and has no

[29:08]one and you know that's why there's a hadith there is a

[29:11]hadith of al-imam zainul where he says on the day of ashura

[29:15]before my father went and he got killed on the day of

[29:19]ashura he called me he says he came in my tent and

[29:24]he gave me the last wasaya the last wills amongst the things

[29:27]that my father abdullah hussain told me on the day of he

[29:31]told me [Music] never oppress a weak person that has no one

[29:42]to help them but allah because when you mess with a person

[29:46]that only has allah allah azzawajal will now be your enemy there's

[29:50]people masha allah they have lawyers they have a huge family a

[29:55]tribe they have supporters they have people in the government correct to

[29:59]support them and help them they have so much money there's others

[30:03]who have nothing they don't have money they don't have lawyers they

[30:06]don't have family members they are just an average servant of allah

[30:10]subhanahu ta'ala al-imam and hussain tells course he's telling the imam so

[30:16]that the imam teaches his companions do not mess with someone that

[30:19]is all alone and has no one but allah because allah azzawajal

[30:22]will now seek revenge against you so this is the first part

[30:30]of joshua the imam i just summarize it the imam speaks in

[30:33]many beautiful terms about how allah subhanahu wa ta'ala many times we

[30:37]have enemies and we don't even know about them he defends us

[30:41]in the best possible way the imam then transitions to the second

[30:46]part is two parts we can categorize it in two parts the

[30:52]imam then transitions to the second part of joshua what does the

[30:58]imam speak about the imam then speaks about shukur about being more

[31:02]appreciative of the name being more thankful and ultimately learning to be

[31:10]content in our lives because you know this is a problem that

[31:13]many people suffer from they're not happy with their lives they live

[31:16]a life of discontent they're not happy with their salary they're not

[31:20]happy with their job they're not happy with their house they're not

[31:25]happy with their spouse complaining always about their wives or about their

[31:29]husbands they're not happy about their school about their career about so

[31:33]many things everywhere i go you see people complaining complaining you see

[31:36]so many people they are in depression and as i said sometimes

[31:39]the depression leads to people thinking about suicide and even committing suicide

[31:43]if you go back to the first step what it's discontent many

[31:46]people are discontent he transitions to teaching us how to be content

[31:55]the imam says ya allah yes i have many enemies and these

[32:00]enemies may be they are hurting me maybe they have what they

[32:06]have afflicted me with pain correct they are bothering me they are

[32:09]troubling me but at the same time ya allah that i have

[32:14]this problem of my enemy alhamdulillah my life is much better than

[32:18]many other people sometimes we just complain and complain and we forget

[32:22]about the good things that we have and we just focus on

[32:25]the problem that we have in our lives al-imam al-kawam yes ask

[32:28]allah to help you with your enemy complain to allah but at

[32:33]the same time thank him for the other because if you look

[32:36]around the world you will see so many people that have a

[32:40]much worse life than you i don't care what your problem is

[32:41]i don't care how much you're suffering there are so many people

[32:45]that are suffering much more than i am so he teaches us

[32:49]a lesson in he teaches us a lesson and what and content

[32:52]because many times we cannot change our lives if you can change

[32:57]your life for the better do so well many times we can't

[33:00]change if you can't change reality what do you do you change

[33:02]yourself change your perspective change yourself and change your by learning to

[33:10]be content with the things you have in life and there's a

[33:16]beautiful hadith where he teaches us how to become how to become

[33:20]someone that is content hallelujah the imam says it's a two-step it's

[33:26]a two-step process if you want to be content with your life

[33:28]some people they're always greedy they want more and more they're not

[33:32]happy with their lives and imam al-sadiq says there's two steps number

[33:35]one he says if you want to learn number one look at

[33:45]those that have a worse life than you and this is exactly

[33:48]what imam al-kaaba mentions in dua he shows how at the same

[33:59]time that he has an enemy and he is in pain because

[34:00]of the enemy at the same time alhamdulillah he has so much

[34:04]his life is still much better than so many other people and

[34:08]then imam al-qaeda in joshua he mentions 15 groups of people that

[34:14]are suffering in ways that he is not so thank allah azza

[34:19]for that he mentions 15 groups as an example so first he

[34:22]begins number one he says he says ya allah yes maybe i

[34:33]have an enemy but at least i have health how many people

[34:36]they are what they are in so much pain because of a

[34:40]health condition that they have alhamdulillah i have health so thank allah

[34:44]for help don't just complain that i have this problem thank allah

[34:48]that you have a healthy body that you don't have to go

[34:50]constantly to the doctors you know i had a distant relative that

[34:53]lived in iraq a couple of years ago who had both of

[34:58]his kidneys they had failed and if you know you know if

[35:04]your kidneys fail you have to go to the hospital every couple

[35:07]of days and undergo the dialysis treatment because your kidneys don't work

[35:11]one day i met with him you know what he said he

[35:15]said say it this dialysis treatment is so painful that to me

[35:21]wallahi the happiest person on earth is the one who has healthy

[35:24]kidneys he says if you have healthy kidneys and you don't have

[35:29]to go to the dialysis then you are the happiest person on

[35:32]earth don't complain don't complain if your kidneys work so basically he

[35:37]is saying that when you have some of the brothers and sisters

[35:42]we don't appreciate them one of the spoke about this couple of

[35:46]nights when we have saha when we have health we don't appreciate

[35:48]it the one that has lost saha knows how important it is

[35:53]so he told me the one who doesn't have to go through

[35:54]dialogue says this is the happiest person on earth they should never

[35:57]complain because you don't know what i go through say it every

[36:02]single week twice i have to go to the hospital this is

[36:05]what sometimes these sicknesses may allah protect us all from these sicknesses

[36:08]if allah has given you health don't complain about what you don't

[36:13]have thank allah that you're healthy you don't have to go to

[36:16]the hospital every couple of days you don't have to undergo this

[36:18]pain my great uncle said mohammed al-khazi my grandfather's brother he died

[36:24]of cancer as he was going under undergoing the chemotherapy and i've

[36:29]heard that chemotherapy is also very painful for so many people you

[36:33]know to them it is better to die than to undergo the

[36:38]pain of chemotherapy i visited him i think two months or a

[36:40]month before he died and you can see how much he was

[36:45]fatigued and in pain and you can see how he was aging

[36:50]so much faster because of the chemotherapy he said this one day

[36:53]when we were visiting him he said every day i die fifty

[36:59]times because of the pain that i am in every day it's

[37:01]as if i'm dying every single day because of the pain of

[37:06]the cancer because of the tumor that he had because of the

[37:09]chemotherapy that he had wallahi when i heard that i said alhamdulillah

[37:12]no matter how many problems i have at least i have health

[37:17]this is an amma that we under appreciate so ali salam says

[37:25]how many people they have to go through pain but alhamdulillah i

[37:30]don't have pain yes i have the problem but at least i

[37:33]don't have pain this is number one number two the imam mentions

[37:35]a second type of problem that he did not have he thanks

[37:38]allah for it he says how many individuals they have to lead

[37:47]they have to live in fear they do not know will they

[37:52]live until tomorrow or not like where look at what's happening in

[37:54]ukraine right now correct look at what's happening in ukraine many of

[37:59]the people living in those cities they don't know if they'll wake

[38:02]up tomorrow or there's a missile that will fi that will you

[38:04]know land on their houses and their kids will die look at

[38:07]what's happening in yemen brothers and sisters any second you see for

[38:10]the last couple of years you don't know if you will live

[38:14]or you will die thank allah azza that you live in a

[38:16]country that you have safety this is one of the greatest nam

[38:20]that we take advantage once again the famous hadith says thank allah

[38:29]azzawajal that we have amman that we have safety here brothers and

[38:31]sisters it's so safe in the middle of the night i can

[38:35]go walk and i'm not afraid of my life and imam al-qaeda

[38:38]says i thank you for this that i don't know if i

[38:42]don't fear for my life right now yes there is a plot

[38:45]against me but at least right now alhamdulillah i am safe and

[38:48]then the imam moves to number three how many people he says

[38:56]how many people they are trapped in the dungeons of the vallamin

[39:00]they don't know when they will die as i speak brothers and

[39:03]sisters you know there are many young believers followers of ahlulbait that

[39:10]are in the dungeons of odin al-khalifa they don't know when they

[39:15]will die every day they wake up and they think today is

[39:16]the last day you saw what happened last month they didn't even

[39:20]tell their family members they took the all the sudden by surprise

[39:23]and they executed all these innocent individuals and their family members know

[39:28]nothing about them will they live will they die there's many people

[39:32]brothers and sisters that have to go they have to undergo this

[39:37]fear thank allah azzawajal that i live in a safe society i

[39:39]have freedom allah it is a name to live in this country

[39:43]sometimes we forget the name we take up we take it for

[39:46]granted of living in this country in canada as the alhamdulillah you

[39:51]have the freedom to do what you want you have the freedom

[39:53]to say what you want just living here in canada you should

[39:57]be so thankful i shouldn't complain if i live in this country

[40:00]because it's safe and i have freedom of speech i have freedom

[40:04]of religion i have freedom to do whatever i want you saw

[40:06]this you saw the video a couple of weeks ago what happened

[40:10]in peshawar correct how they went into the masjid and they killed

[40:12]all these innocent people because they're there to pray alhamdulillah in this

[40:16]country i don't fear for this isn't this that i have to

[40:19]thank allah azzawajal for this is number three ali imam al-qadwar speaks

[40:22]about into al joshua number four the imam speaks about poverty the

[40:28]imam says and how many individuals how many people at night they

[40:33]sleep and they don't know where they will get their meal tomorrow

[40:37]how many individuals they go hungry and thirsty they do not know

[40:40]how to make their living they do not know if they will

[40:43]have food the next day or not like in yemen look at

[40:47]the famine in yemen brothers and sisters you know there's a hadith

[40:51]from amir al-mur there is nothing that stresses you and depresses you

[40:58]like what like when you have to bear a debt if i

[41:01]don't have a debt the imam says thank allah thank allah infinitely

[41:06]that i don't have a debt because the fact that you have

[41:12]to repay a debt sometimes this one time this destroys your life

[41:15]the hem the stress the agony that comes with it thank allah

[41:18]azza brothers and sisters that here in this country come during iftar

[41:21]time and see all the different food that's extra that we don't

[41:25]appreciate anymore that so many people would die to have this food

[41:30]isn't the same brothers and sisters i was in one of the

[41:33]muslim countries a few months ago i won't mention the muslim country

[41:38]so i took a taxi right it was one of those low-income

[41:39]you know immigrants that come from the far east so i had

[41:46]a conversation with him i asked him this question i asked him

[41:49]what is your dream in your life what's your dream you know

[41:54]what he told me he told me my dream in my life

[41:59]is to go to canada this is what he said my dream

[42:04]in my life is to go to canada why because i heard

[42:09]there i can make 20 an hour and in the country that

[42:15]he is working as a taxi he makes two dollars an hour

[42:17]his dream is to come to canada every single one of you

[42:23]here is living the dream of millions of people and we still

[42:25]complain to allah azzawajal so imam sadaq look at the people that

[42:34]have less than you you will thank allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala much much

[42:37]much more look at what's happening in lebanon brothers and sisters i

[42:40]read a couple of months ago the average salary of a lebanese

[42:45]worker you know how much it is one month because of their

[42:48]currency collapse you know how much it is 35 35 they work

[42:56]an entire month and me if i make 15 20 25 an

[43:00]hour i see this as a little i want more and more

[43:04]and more brothers and sisters let's be more appreciative of allah subhanahu

[43:09]wa thank allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for giving us so much being

[43:13]here in this country wallahi if you live in this country you

[43:15]have so much now i spoke about sickness right that one of

[43:20]the greatest name of allah is health and as long as you

[43:24]have health then thank allah you say what if i'm sick even

[43:26]if you're sick in this country thank allah why because it is

[43:31]much better to be sick in canada than to be sick in

[43:33]iraq or iran or afghanistan or pakistan or india isn't it alhamdulillah

[43:37]every single one of you here has free health care you have

[43:42]the best hospitals in the world you have the best doctors in

[43:44]the world you have the best medicine in the world alhamdulillah you

[43:48]see the vaccine crisis it showed this covet showed the disparities in

[43:52]the world when i used to travel to some parts in the

[43:53]middle east i would see people they would say you're so lucky

[43:58]say it that you live in the u.s you have access to

[43:59]the vaccines we don't have access to the vaccine we have to

[44:04]wait and see our family members die one after the other we

[44:06]don't have this as in allah brought me to this country the

[44:11]vaccine is so abundant i remember in the u.s i would read

[44:15]stories that some of the pharmacies had to throw away the vaccines

[44:18]because people didn't want to take it and there's other people that

[44:20]are dying for it that they are willing to travel to distant

[44:24]countries and spend thousands of dollars just to get one shot of

[44:30]pfizer and so many of us we don't even see this we

[44:32]overlook this says to become more content with your life so this

[44:48]is the first strategy of imam sadiq and then the second strategy

[44:54]of imam sadiq he says number one look at the ones that

[45:00]are less than you because you will thank allah for all the

[45:01]number two don't look at those that have more than you and

[45:06]this is unfortunately one of the bad habits that no matter how

[45:08]much we own no matter how much we have we like to

[45:12]see what others have that we don't have we like to see

[45:16]those that are richer than us that are better looking than us

[45:19]that have a better life than us what does this do this

[45:22]makes you discontent with your own life even if you have the

[45:26]best life you won't enjoy because he has a better life than

[45:28]me you go and buy a brand new camry that so many

[45:31]people would love buying a camry correct but then you hear your

[45:34]friend bought alex's bad will you like the camry anymore now you

[45:39]want the lexus because what because the neps is greedy if you

[45:44]buy the lexus you'll see someone else want and bought the lamborghini

[45:49]it doesn't end so do not look at those that what that

[45:50]have a better life than you because you will not be happy

[45:54]with your life and you know what's making us unhappy today what's

[45:58]adding to the discontent and misery of our mental health today social

[46:02]media because before the only people i know is you the people

[46:08]that live in my block in my city correct now i know

[46:10]millions of people there's people that have 10 000 friends 50 000

[46:14]friends and then they just go and befriend people that don't they

[46:16]don't even know and there's this tendency that we follow the accounts

[46:19]of rich people of wealthy people successful people good looking people what

[46:24]does this do to us it makes you less content with your

[46:28]life you see for example you wake up in the morning you

[46:30]go to the bathroom you know in the morning when we wake

[46:33]up first thing we scroll through our facebook you see that one

[46:37]of people in the world or one of your friends he's taken

[46:40]a flight and he's going to for example paris wow with the

[46:43]eiffel tower and i'm just sitting on the toilet in my house

[46:49]what does this teach you to not appreciate the name of allah

[46:52]subhanahu ta'ala in your life and then you scroll and you see

[46:56]someone you think you have a nice body wow look at this

[46:58]guy's six back no i have to go more to the gym

[47:04]it makes you more discontent it takes away the happiness from our

[47:06]lives and there are studies that prove this you know i've read

[47:10]studies that prove individuals who follow the accounts of successful people wealthy

[47:16]people correct they become less content with their own success he's still

[47:20]successful masha'allah he's making twenty thousand dollars a month but he follows

[47:25]the account of that rich guy what who owns a yacht who

[47:27]owns a private jet he's not going to want the 20 000

[47:30]anymore he's not going to like it anymore and likewise studies have

[47:34]proven that the individuals who follow the accounts of good looking and

[47:38]it's not necessarily good looking but people who appear i'll get to

[47:42]this to be good looking they're no longer happy with their own

[47:47]body why because now brothers and sisters when you follow people on

[47:51]social media and you see some of the girls masha allah how

[47:53]beautiful some of the men the beautiful body correct and then you

[47:58]look at your body and you say correct many times you find

[48:03]that this is all photoshopped i'm sure you know more about this

[48:08]than i do the other day someone sent me a video of

[48:12]this new filter movement filter they show you a picture of a

[48:15]of a woman you think she's hurley correct and then she is

[48:21]explaining and then she says that don't be fooled this is all

[48:25]a filter she removes the filter and then one you can't even

[48:28]look at her anymore in turns into a jinn this is all

[48:32]one what all one filter so this is all photoshop so don't

[48:36]believe what you see on social media likewise if someone that huge

[48:38]chicks back do i know this is true or no we don't

[48:41]know before if a woman wanted to you know change her looks

[48:45]for the better she would have to go and pay thousands of

[48:48]dollars and get what cosmetic surgeries correct she would have to go

[48:52]through cosmetic surgeries which reminds me of a story i read a

[48:54]couple of years ago a man in hong kong you can google

[48:59]it you'll find that it's a very funny but true story a

[49:01]man in hong kong married a very beautiful woman very beautiful so

[49:07]they get married and then they have a child the father the

[49:10]man says i notice the child is very ugly he doesn't take

[49:12]after his mother what's going on he said as you know i

[49:17]swallowed it as we say i didn't say anything he says our

[49:20]next child comes he's even uglier than the first one what's going

[49:22]on i'm good-looking the mother is good-looking where's the law of genetics

[49:28]he says when the third child came that was the nail in

[49:34]the coffin i could not even look at him how ugly and

[49:35]this is the father saying this so he says i knew something

[49:39]is fishy he says i started to research the history of my

[49:42]wife before marriage and i was able to find a picture of

[49:47]my wife when she was in high school in her yearbook he

[49:50]says that when you see her picture she was hideous may allah

[49:54]not show you her you cannot believe it's the same human being

[49:57]i realized she had spent a hundred thousand dollars on cosmetic surgeries

[50:01]now she looks beautiful the problem with cosmetic surgeries is only you

[50:06]benefit right your children don't benefit from it your children go back

[50:10]to your original face that you had before the cosmetic surgeries and

[50:14]that's why the story says not only did he divorce her allah

[50:17]is a true story i read not only did he divorce her

[50:21]now he filed a lawsuit against her and he wants hundreds of

[50:25]thousands of dollars because she damaged his what his mental health and

[50:29]she what and she gave him ugly children so the point is

[50:34]before if you wanted to change your looks you what you just

[50:36]spent a couple of thousand dollars now it's free now with the

[50:40]filters brothers and sisters you can make any person look like the

[50:43]most beautiful individual so what we do is we follow on face

[50:47]on facebook on instagram on twitter and i don't know tik tok

[50:50]on snapchat and we see all these beautiful lives what is this

[50:53]doing to us this is making us less happy with our own

[50:58]lives because we see their lives are nice exciting my life is

[51:00]boring i don't want my life even though my life is so

[51:04]nice it's so good but because i focus on other people's lives

[51:06]i fail and realizing that i have a good life and this

[51:10]is a hadith of rasulullah he is narrated saying if you make

[51:22]it a habit to see what muhammad bought and where ali went

[51:27]and which drazen about and where she went for lunch and dinner

[51:30]and where they traveled and which vacation and which resort and blah

[51:33]blah blah and this and that he says this will lead you

[51:36]to living a life of depression a life of what of discontent

[51:41]so what do you do so don't follow these accounts random accounts

[51:45]just because it looks good because this is going to have a

[51:50]negative effect on you don't look at those that have more than

[51:57]you because this will make you become discontent in your life it's

[52:10]very long correct towards the end we doze off but if you

[52:16]stay focused the last line of dua abu hamza some people they

[52:25]say allah in order for me to be satisfied i want this

[52:29]i want that i want 200 000 salary i want a big

[52:32]house i want a big right they want all these things to

[52:37]be happy and imam zayn says you don't need any of that

[52:39]he says just ask allah to make you happy with whatever you

[52:44]have instead of telling allah to give you things so that you

[52:48]become happy tell allah to make you happy with whatever you have

[52:51]allah can do that this is the most beautiful do i give

[52:58]me content so that whatever i have i can thank allah subhanahu

[53:01]wa ta'ala for it and i can appreciate it and as i

[53:05]said brothers and sisters if you just look around in your life

[53:06]you will find so many that you are unaware of you know

[53:12]someone told me during this pandemic he says i discovered some that

[53:16]i was never aware of during this pandemic he says for example

[53:19]i discovered what a true gem my mother is because before covet

[53:23]i'm so busy and i don't really get to sit down with

[53:28]my mother and father kovet i was stuck with my parents in

[53:30]the house i notice what a hard worker she is i notice

[53:34]how sincere she is i notice how much she loves me and

[53:37]how much she takes care of me i notice what a gem

[53:41]my mother is i would never see this always complaining why don't

[53:43]i have this he says i notice my mother is the greatest

[53:46]mother of anyone that i know in the community but this is

[53:50]something i overlook other people they realize what that they have such

[53:53]a good spouse other people they realize they have good children because

[53:56]before covert it was all work work work study study study the

[54:00]father doesn't even know the children the mother doesn't even know their

[54:05]kids covet gave us a gave us an opportunity to discover the

[54:08]personalities of our children these are na'am that we usually overlook because

[54:12]i'm busy looking at other people i don't even see my kids

[54:15]allah has given us so much brothers and sisters but we fail

[54:20]in looking at them we fail in realizing them and we fail

[54:24]in thanking allah subhanahu alaihi imam al-qadham tells us that no matter

[54:28]how life how difficult your life may be know that allah has

[54:31]given you so many other that you shouldn't complain about what you

[54:36]don't have but you should thank allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for all

[54:41]of them what a beautiful day and you see imam al-qaeda himself

[54:52]finally when haroon came al-imam al-qaeda was placed in the dungeons of

[55:00]harun it was not a normal prison it was a dungeon it

[55:01]was a grave it was a grave in the middle of the

[55:05]earth dark the imam could barely even breathe in it he could

[55:09]not tell the difference between night and day this was the prison

[55:14]of harun we read in the ziyarah al-adhabi it is a deep

[55:22]dungeon of haroon that you cannot even tell night from day al-imam
