[5:25]short-term and long-term victories delivered by our dear sheikh basil haddad and

[5:31]after his discussion we will have a latimia performed by brother mustafa

[5:35]saleme now please help me welcome our distinguished speaker haddad with a

[5:42]loud salawat muhammad so the topic as brother ahmed said was we're

[6:33]going to discuss the victory of imam hussain alaihis now's mission from

[6:38]the short-term lens and from a long-term lens inshallah so yesterday we

[6:44]went over a few important prerequisites you can call it regarding imam

[6:50]hussain's mission regarding the different narratives that uh described imam hussain's personality

[6:55]described his mission and described ahekulva so today we will cover different

[7:02]points and we'll go over some misconceptions inshaallah and hopefully at the

[7:06]end there will be a lot of important matters that will be

[7:10]made clear inshallah so just one loud salaah thank you so the

[7:22]mission of imam hassan alaihi salam as we discussed yesterday there's different

[7:26]narratives that described it and i told you that if we were

[7:31]to line up all of the narrations and all of the books

[7:33]from the different schools of thought that described imam hussain's mission we

[7:37]will conclude with three main categories the first category branches or traces

[7:44]back to the propaganda of beni omaya the second group which is

[7:51]the largest traces back to beni abbas and the third traces back

[7:55]to the imams from atlanta bait now i'm focusing on this and

[8:00]i'm repeating it for the second time due to its importance beni

[8:03]abbas why am i mentioning them some people might not have a

[8:08]good idea of who they are they're the longest lasting islamic dynasty

[8:12]they ruled after benjamin for a much longer period of time and

[8:17]if we were to do a compare contrast between benjamin and beni

[8:23]abbas it would be a very difficult uh topic to discuss and

[8:28]see who was actually worse who did more evil but i'll just

[8:31]throw it out there that benny abbas are not our friends at

[8:35]the end of the day they killed more imams than benio and

[8:38]that's just from the killing standpoint but when we get to the

[8:43]actual deviance they caused it was it's undescribable so it's not safe

[8:51]to just rely on their narrative without doing some double checking and

[8:55]actually making sure that this you know corresponds and agrees with the

[8:58]narrative debates so the mission of imam hussain yesterday we said okay

[9:07]according to the narrative of athletes not the enemies of ahib imam

[9:11]hussain's mission was to do what to seek reformation and the nation

[9:15]of his grandfather prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi and to follow the path

[9:22]the footsteps of his father alibi so technically if we want to

[9:28]actually go deeper into the mission of imam hussain this it requires

[9:31]us to what to go back to the nation of prophet muhammad

[9:36]when he established it and to really have a better understanding of

[9:39]the mission of imam ali because whatever imam hussain is doing he's

[9:43]continuing the mission of his father [Music] so like i said yesterday

[9:50]there's a big chunk of years between ashura and the passing of

[9:57]prophet muhammad so in order to have a to get a to

[10:01]grasp what happened to the nation of prophet muhammad and needed reformation

[10:05]we have to go back in time a little bit so i

[10:09]discussed a few points yesterday some main events in a timeline so

[10:14]that we can kind of get it on understanding so just to

[10:18]kind of paraphrase imam ali's mission his mission was to liberate and

[10:26]revive the sunnah of the prophet and like i said the sunni

[10:30]of the prophet is what is three things it's the words of

[10:34]prophet muhammad his actions and his affirmations so we take the sunnah

[10:41]of the prophet something happened to the son of the prophet after

[10:44]his passing and it's very crucial it's very important that we hold

[10:49]on to the sunnah of the prophet as muslims because our islam

[10:53]is not complete without the quran and the son of the prophet

[10:58]so something happened to the son of the prophet and like i

[11:03]i said very strongly and i stand by it the sin of

[11:05]the prophet was attacked that went through multiple attacks for a very

[11:12]large chunk of years for over 24 years when he finally became

[11:18]the khalifa his his role his mission was to liberate and revive

[11:21]the son of the prophet so did he succeed in that technically

[11:29]yes but not in all of the islamic uh territories only in

[11:36]the territories that he had control over in that short period of

[11:40]time so let's talk about imam ali his role in the time

[11:45]frame that he was in charge so we can have a better

[11:51]understanding what his son's roles are going to be in order for

[11:54]us to appreciate the actions of our imams we have to understand

[11:58]the circumstances the main variables that took place at that time when

[12:04]we understand the variables we understand the circumstance then we will have

[12:08]a better understanding we'll have a better level of appreciation of what

[12:13]they did and what they accomplished so let's go to the times

[12:20]after the passing of the prophet in the year 11 in the

[12:23]second month of the year 11 there was three rulers that ruled

[12:30]the muslims xyz you were punished by the state and then this

[13:04]thing called fabrications and distortion of narrations took place in a very

[13:09]high scale you know one of the very first narrations to be

[13:15]fabricated was the hadith that one of the the first ruler made

[13:21]up to confiscate the land of fedex from say the father and

[13:25]that's one of the examples that a very clear example of a

[13:29]fabrication where somebody completely makes up a narration and says i heard

[13:34]prophet muhammad say one two three to justify whatever policy they're making

[13:38]so we have many fabrications we have many distortions and in the

[13:42]whole time there's a void there's a where the actual true son

[13:47]of the prophet is non-existent except for whatever the government narrated so

[13:51]why is imam ali important when it comes to the sin of

[13:56]the prophet why is imam ali importing when it comes to the

[13:58]sin of the prophet there's many companions hundreds of companions in the

[14:04]muslim land correct so what's special about imam ali is it just

[14:07]that he's the cousin of the prophet is it just a matter

[14:12]that he's the son-in-law of the prophet is it a matter of

[14:15]he was the most brave and courageous man on the battlefield what

[14:18]is special about imam ali when it comes to the sunnah of

[14:23]the prophet because a lot of times when you ask somebody ourselves

[14:27]we can go around and survey each other why is imam ali

[14:31]so important when it comes to islam what is the good things

[14:34]he who did or why what what is his importance and significance

[14:36]often times we only focus on the battlefield moments right in the

[14:41]battle of bed that what he did in the battle ahead how

[14:45]he saved islam in the battle of the trench how he saved

[14:47]islam in the battle of khaibar we go on the battle of

[14:50]her name and so on and so forth all of these events

[14:53]that required courage right and we focus on imam ali as if

[14:58]he's just a warrior but when it comes to the sin of

[14:59]the prophet why is he important so we can go on and

[15:05]on and list the companions of the prophet those who lived in

[15:08]the time of prophet muhammad witnessed him and heard his the reason

[15:12]why imam ali is so important when it comes to the hadith

[15:16]of the prophet is because first he was the very first muslim

[15:20]but on top of everything he spent the most time with the

[15:26]prophet but still on top of that we have historical records that

[15:29]prove from all schools of thought that imam ali had private sessions

[15:34]with prophet muhammed after federal prayer and after a shot prayer twice

[15:38]a day he had private meetings where he would sit in the

[15:43]side of the masjid with the prophet and the prophet would speak

[15:45]and he would write how many times twice a day for how

[15:50]many years 24 years no other companion nobody can claim that there's

[15:58]another companion that actually preserved the sunnah of the prophet that had

[16:00]access to the sin of the prophet like imam ali did so

[16:04]imam ali technically out of all the companions the only one who

[16:08]has the capability to preserve and continue the sunnah of the prophet

[16:13]because it was a dictation where he would write and and the

[16:18]prophet the prophet would speak and imam ali would write and imam

[16:21]ali would check his basically check his work type of thing verify

[16:26]it and even imam ali asked him one of the narrations oh

[16:29]messenger of allah are you scared i'm gonna forget is that why

[16:33]you're making me right and he said no right for your for

[16:37]your partners write for your partners who will use this later on

[16:41]and i'll get to this soon insha'allah but at the end of

[16:45]the day there is no companion who has access to the sun

[16:49]of the prophet and has the ability to preserve and continue and

[16:54]teach the son of the prophet like imam ali islam so just

[16:56]from the standpoint of writing the hadith nobody can compete with imam

[17:00]ali in that aspect so a void took place these attacks on

[17:07]the sunnah took place right that it got to the point where

[17:10]the khalifa can himself publicly supersede the authority the religious of the

[17:15]authority of prophet muhammad this for me and you we think about

[17:20]this this is impossible if somebody did that in front of us

[17:23]and said i admit that prophet muhammad had this and this and

[17:27]i choose to make them haram and i'll punish you if you

[17:30]act upon them we would not accept that we would not allow

[17:36]that in our faces right now imagine back then so yesterday i

[17:38]mentioned a point that it's crucial and i'm going to repeat it

[17:41]so hopefully it sticks in your mind there's a crucial point we

[17:45]cannot forget which is after the passing of the prophet about two

[17:48]years two to three years after the muslim empire multiplied in size

[17:53]multiplied almost to the atlantic ocean from the western side and from

[17:59]the eastern side almost to the border of india i mentioned pakistan

[18:02]yesterday but technically back then there was no pakistan so to the

[18:06]borders of india from one side and almost to the atlantic ocean

[18:09]from another side the muslim nation now just adopted coastlines trade routes

[18:15]military fortresses castles multiple lands multiple nations races languages all types of

[18:24]things right so the majority of muslims now soon after the passing

[18:28]of the prophet are new converts they're not arab they don't speak

[18:33]arabic and whatever they are being taught about islam is whatever the

[18:36]government is giving them so they didn't witness prophet muhammed they didn't

[18:40]sit with prophet muhammed they didn't hear about hadith they didn't hear

[18:46]about hadith in manzila they didn't hear about hadith we can go

[18:51]on and on hadith how many hadith do we have the show

[18:54]display the virtue and greatness of imam ali alayhim they did not

[19:00]have access to these hadith so when somebody gets up and tells

[19:06]them you know i'm basically superseding the authority of the prophet for

[19:10]them whatever the government tells them that's what they do it's not

[19:13]a big deal to them because they don't know the importance of

[19:16]prophet muhammad they don't know the importance of his sunnah and this

[19:21]is another point i'm focusing on i remember when i was in

[19:24]school this was a big issue why are shiites so much less

[19:30]in quantity than mainstream muslims and they used to use this as

[19:35]a evidence to prove that the shia are wrong because you're less

[19:39]in number well step one what i just mentioned that's a big

[19:42]variable you can't take out of the equation from the very beginning

[19:46]of when they're so-called this split in islam there was a huge

[19:50]multiplication in the population of mainstream islam so mainstream islam followed you

[19:56]know the book of allah the sunni of the prophet according to

[20:01]whatever they allowed and the policies of the two sheikhs the two

[20:04]first rulers okay and whatever they did you had to abide by

[20:09]so the third khalifa actually he was given bai he was given

[20:16]allegiance under this condition that he abides by the policies and the

[20:20]rules of the two shaykhs the first two rulers and that's why

[20:24]imam ali refused that that unfair six-man vote if you're familiar with

[20:28]it so this just is a sample to show how important the

[20:33]seer the policies of the two shaykhs was it was even more

[20:38]important than the sin of the prophet so now you know imagine

[20:45]24 years all of these muslims from all around okay this is

[20:49]the type of islam that they're being taught they're not being taught

[20:54]the islam of that prophet muhammad preached and taught and acted upon

[20:59]so now imagine the importance of imam ali's mission because sometimes we

[21:06]have to remind ourselves the importance or the main mission of our

[21:11]imams is not to sit on a throne it's not to be

[21:15]the so-called caliph and have people obey them and be treated like

[21:18]a king that's not the goal and the mission of our imams

[21:22]it was not the goal of any of our imams what is

[21:25]the goal of our imams let's do guidance to guide the masses

[21:30]to guide the people to allow the people to have an option

[21:35]to follow the pure islam so imam ali for 24 years he

[21:40]he was you know when you when you just simplify it 24

[21:44]years after the passing of prophet muhammed and you just think about

[21:47]this real quick i mean the imam was born about 10 years

[21:50]before revelation 10 years before islam started okay before the prophetic mission

[21:57]and then he dies all the way in approximately a year 40

[22:01]after hijra so there's a big chunk of years but when you

[22:04]think about what events come to your mind when you think of

[22:08]imam ali what do you know about imam ali everything is going

[22:12]to be fall into two areas either the beginning of his life

[22:16]up to the passing of prophet muhammed or the very end of

[22:22]his life the last four years but the big chunk in between

[22:24]24 years almost a quarter century most of you are just most

[22:30]even i won't we're just we're going to be silent we don't

[22:34]know so imam ali in that period of time all of these

[22:38]events are taking place islam has multiplied these people i now have

[22:41]been raised on this type of islam and now imam ali has

[22:46]to do what he has to revive and liberate the sunnah so

[22:49]i'll fast forward a bit imam ali becomes khalifa it was a

[22:55]surprising event it was not it was not part of the plan

[22:57]of those who were who killed the third kharifa they had somebody

[23:02]else in mind but the people ran to the house of imam

[23:05]ali and basically forced him to put out his hand so they

[23:07]can pay allegiance he becomes a khalifah once he becomes a khalifah

[23:12]all of quraysh unites to do what to stop ali ibn abu

[23:21]talib to make sure he does not remain as a hadith does

[23:23]not remain influential he is their biggest enemy because if anybody has

[23:28]the ability to preserve and and to teach the truth and the

[23:31]true islam it's going to be him and they thought that he

[23:36]was off the map but now he surprised them he's khalifa so

[23:40]they all joined forces to stop him and if you have a

[23:45]map in mind the the main trunk of the muslim military was

[23:48]in sham under mahalia about 60 percent of the troops and the

[23:54]other 40 percent were in arab half of them were in basra

[23:57]and half of them were kufa these were main military fortresses or

[24:01]military camps so the first thing they did is they made a

[24:03]deal with mauawya you hold off sham hold off the western parts

[24:09]of the land don't allow alibne to have access to it your

[24:11]people have never heard of his name they don't know him they

[24:15]don't know anything about him don't let them have access we will

[24:19]all go to basra take basra and then from there we'll march

[24:24]to kulfat then we'll have the entire muslim army blocking off ali

[24:27]never thought up in the desert and finally we'll get rid of

[24:31]him in their calculations they tried a few years before with ten

[24:34]thousand troops in the battle of the trench and imam ali took

[24:38]them out so they realized okay ten thousand is not enough maybe

[24:40]two hundred twenty thousand so now they have over two hundred twenty

[24:43]thousand they're planning on having over two hundred twenty thousand troops to

[24:46]finally take out alibne and uh what does imam ali do he

[24:55]leaves medina he has a few a handful of troops very small

[24:58]very few they have thousands they have a military fortress and they're

[25:02]a few hours away from kufla and then it's a sealed deal

[25:06]so he sends imam hassan to kulfat these people also don't don't

[25:12]know him too much he sends the imam i said to kufa

[25:14]and imam hassan is able to do what rally up a few

[25:19]thousand troops and they meet at basra and the battle of bustle

[25:22]is important because these khufan soldiers they're fighting alongside imam ali against

[25:30]practically all of quraysh and one of the main commanders is the

[25:35]wife of the prophet and the daughter of the first sheikh so

[25:39]it's a big deal but they stayed loyal to imam ali within

[25:43]a few short hours that battle was done the victory was for

[25:45]imam ali what is imam ali choose to do he immediately migrates

[25:50]to kufa and from there he sets up his headquarters and he

[25:55]sets up the capital for his new nation and from there he

[26:00]trains and teaches these people who have loyalty to him he teaches

[26:05]them the sunnah he gives them access to the sunnah and imam

[26:09]ali reverses imam ali reverses the policies that were taking place for

[26:13]24 years he gives these people a chance to have access to

[26:18]true islam and who better to teach you islam of prophet muhammad

[26:24]imam i gave you an example about the hadith he used to

[26:29]preserve so now the battle of safin takes place ma'alia now gathers

[26:35]the army of 120 000 troops and all of the tribes of

[26:41]quraish joined mauaya against imam ali and only five members from quraish

[26:44]stand with imam ali okay and then it was it's one of

[26:50]the biggest civil wars in islamic history and due to you know

[26:54]a certain few uh imam ali's army was winning but they did

[26:57]not they did not gain the full victory that battle was done

[27:02]they still had a lot of loyalty to imam ali just because

[27:05]a few members of the military did not listen doesn't mean the

[27:10]entire army betrayed imam ali then we move on to the next

[27:13]battle of naruwan another battle against the quran of the quran and

[27:18]again these people stick with imam ali and they fight in the

[27:23]battle of so we have three main battles these people stayed with

[27:26]imam ali but it's not just they were soldiers fighting with him

[27:29]they had access they were being taught they were being trained the

[27:35]true islam with the sun of the prophet imam ali al-islam is

[27:40]assassinated his his mission did not reach the other chunk of the

[27:47]muslim lands okay maybe sixty percent of the muslim ummah on that

[27:51]side they did not know about imam ali they did not know

[27:54]the sin of the prophet and how do i how can i

[27:58]visualize this we all have heard of the countless hadith praising imam

[28:02]ali correct by the holy prophet when news reaches the people of

[28:08]sham the ali has been assassinated in the masjid how did they

[28:14]react what words came out of their mouth what was their reaction

[28:17]when they learned that alibne has been assassinated in prayer in the

[28:21]masjid in the holy month of ramadan they asked they said he

[28:28]prays you suddenly what is he doing in the masjid how is

[28:33]he even how is it possible for him to be assassinated in

[28:35]prayer the man doesn't even pray this gives us a glimpse a

[28:42]hint of what kind of islam these poor people are being exposed

[28:45]to so now the role of malawia takes goes to the next

[28:52]level okay was that basically the continuation of this government that was

[28:58]taking place and mauaya held his ground to make sure ali nebula

[29:01]ali's mission does not reach those territories and maui was preserving the

[29:07]islam of the previous rulers so we're gonna fast forward a little

[29:14]bit and basically i'm giving you a nice little timeline that you

[29:16]have to kind of you have to be able to understand these

[29:18]main events we have to in order for you to get any

[29:23]proper understanding you have to go back a little bit so now

[29:26]we fast forward a little bit okay imam hassan is is assassinated

[29:31]by ma'awiya okay what does the ten years before and this will

[29:39]allow us to get a a little glimpse of the victory of

[29:43]imam hussain and the mission of imam hussein so in 10 years

[29:54]i want to summarize it for you in the main points the

[29:57]main policies that he did first thing maui did was he assassinated

[30:00]him imam hassan's job and that those 10 years before was preserving

[30:07]the shia and preserving the shi'at ali that were because they had

[30:11]a headquarters they had a capital there was thousands of them who

[30:13]knew the sin of the prophet he preserved their lives and mualia

[30:18]was not able to do anything to the shia of ali they're

[30:21]the biggest issue because they can continue to push imam ali's mission

[30:24]to the rest of the world so in the time of imam

[30:29]hudson's treaty with malawia for 10 years malawia was not able to

[30:34]kill oppressed torture in prison a single shiri in 10 years and

[30:39]this is a challenge for all of you today go try to

[30:43]find the name of one shiri that mualia was able to imprison

[30:46]torture oppress or kill in those 10 years so he had he

[30:52]he assassinates imam hassan to break that first thing he does after

[30:57]that he appoints this cursed man called ziad you've all heard of

[31:01]ibn ziyad he appoints ziad to be the governor of all of

[31:04]arak basra and kufa and his job is to eliminate shiite ali

[31:11]from arat that's his job so the first thing this cursed person

[31:15]does ziad is he he deports physical forceful deportations of 50 000

[31:24]families from arat these were soldiers of imam ali in the battle

[31:29]of safin he picks them up them and their families and he

[31:33]does what he ships them off to eastern iran to foreign and

[31:37]then they're empty houses he does what he brings 50 000 shyami

[31:42]soldiers with their families and sits them in those empty houses so

[31:45]what is he doing to to the shia he's trying to get

[31:50]rid of them so he starts with deportations after that now the

[31:53]remaining shia he can pick them up one by one so then

[31:58]his forces go after every known lover of ali alayhi salaam every

[32:01]known student of imam ali and takes them either to prison or

[32:05]execution so for the next years they followed every single shia in

[32:14]iraq to the point where all history books tell us this sunnis

[32:17]everybody that they checked behind every tree and under every rock until

[32:22]there was not one known shia in all of arat this is

[32:28]all taking place when this is before ashura there was not one

[32:32]known shia in all of iraq when muawiyah finally finished his job

[32:36]so and to pay attention ten years before ashora has when 50

[32:42]000 were brought from sham loyal to malawia and they sat there

[32:45]them and their families so if they had a 10 year old

[32:48]son 10 years later he's a 20 year old soldier all right

[32:52]with his loyalties to ma'ali and benny umayyah and they hate imam

[32:55]that's very crucial and i hope that also sticks in your minds

[33:00]so now he's almost done away is getting old he realizes okay

[33:06]my time is pretty much over and he appoints his son yazid

[33:11]to be the khalifa after him he forces people to pay allegiance

[33:15]to yazid so that yazid can continue the policies in this mission

[33:20]of this filtered and polluted islam that they were preaching his mission

[33:28]you know we were speaking about imam hussain's mission what was ma'ale's

[33:32]mission he also has a mission statement and he says in his

[33:38]mission statement that he says that the brother of tame referring to

[33:46]abu bakr he ruled and he died and with him died his

[33:50]remembrance and then the brother of adi referring to umar ii he

[33:53]ruled for a good ten years and he died in demise and

[33:58]there and also his repute his his remembrance died with him then

[34:01]he remembers his cousin uthman the same thing i'm paraphrasing here he

[34:05]ruled and he died and there went his uh his remembrance then

[34:11]he says but ibn abi kept you referring to the holy prophet

[34:15]his name is yelled out screamed out shouted out five times a

[34:22]day referring to the adhan five times a day we say what

[34:26]allah correct so maui says that five times a day prophet muhammad's

[34:39]name is shouted and screamed on the pulpits on the manabur and

[34:44]unfortunate then he says what what remembrance what what of our mission

[34:51]is going to remain if this is there if prophet muhammad's name

[34:54]is being screamed out in the so he says he says by

[35:03]god i will bury it i will bury it or i will

[35:04]bury it i will completely bury it he's going to bury the

[35:09]remembrance of prophet muhammed that's his mission he's continuing his predecessors and

[35:15]he's he's putting onto full gear after that so his goal is

[35:21]to completely take out the remembrance of prophet muhammed so taking out

[35:25]the sunnah was not enough now he's going to what he's going

[35:27]to bury the remembrance of prophet muhammad this is very clear in

[35:31]the history books so now comes the role of imam hussain so

[35:36]he did so much to reverse imam ali's work and then to

[35:42]erase the remembrance of prophet muhammed a few months after is the

[35:48]revolution the uprising of imam hussain we can't look at the uprising

[35:52]of imam hussain just in the year 61 and up to ashura

[35:57]and it's over it's not over it has just begun and arb

[36:01]is a great way that forces us or allows us to know

[36:04]that this this revolution of imam hussain doesn't end with our continues

[36:10]so if we look at the events that took place in the

[36:15]short term after after ashura we see that everything that aliyah did

[36:20]got reversed everything he tried to do he tried to erase all

[36:24]of imam ali's work it got all reversed so imam hussain's revolution

[36:29]it led to the shia those who were still alive in the

[36:33]prisons to break out out of the prisons and to get out

[36:38]and to completely kick out benny omaya from the those shiite lands

[36:43]and kick out their governors and kick out their rulers and bring

[36:47]back the shia that were in hiding they were in different parts

[36:50]of the land and they brought back the policies and the teachings

[36:53]of imam ali so that's a bit of a short term and

[37:00]if you know if you're familiar with mukhtar it kind of gives

[37:03]you a little taste of that okay where they're able to remove

[37:06]benny omaya bring back the shia and bring back the policies and

[37:10]the teachings of imam ali al-isna which is the quran and the

[37:14]pure sin of the holy prophet so now if we kind of

[37:19]fast forward and you think about some of the stuff i said

[37:24]should ring a bell so are we saying that the people in

[37:28]when imam hussain went to iraq they weren't the shia of ali

[37:34]they just betrayed the imam no so if you paid attention the

[37:40]people in iraq at the time the imam hussain came to iraq

[37:44]were who there were the shamans that had been relocated by maui

[37:47]10 years prior them and their families so when we say that

[37:52]the people when we refer about the people of kufa this is

[37:56]a misconception we need to keep in mind and when i talk

[37:58]about the people of kufa in the early times i'm referring to

[38:00]those who are known as what as the loyal followers of imam

[38:05]ali and of his teachings some of this might ring a bell

[38:11]and you might like what is he talking about people of kufa

[38:13]is he indicating is he hinting that the people of kufa were

[38:16]good people who had loyalty to the imams yes that's exactly what

[38:21]i'm trying to say the people of khulfah in the time of

[38:24]imam ali imam hassan and after imam hussain these are who these

[38:29]are the loyal shia and they had a many enemies those who

[38:34]were enemies to imam ali and imam ali's mission were enemies to

[38:38]the people of kufa they hated them the people of kufa were

[38:41]nothing but bad news to them and to what they stood for

[38:45]what they wanted to propagate so step one the people of kufa

[38:50]did not the true khufens from the amount of ice time they

[38:52]did not kill non hussein and they did not betray imam hussain

[38:58]this was the work of if anybody from kulfat it was the

[39:01]shamies who lived in kuafa when i referred to the shames i'm

[39:03]referring to the loyal the the you know basically those military men

[39:08]soldiers that were from sham from maui's army who were relocated to

[39:13]we have a narration from the imam that tells us describes to

[39:20]us in al-qafi about and he says he describes us who surrounded

[39:28]imam hussain okay and the imam says you can look this up

[39:40]it's in a cafe the imam says that is the day that

[39:43]imam hussain was surrounded by the horsemen the military horsemen of who

[39:48]of ishaam so now you might ask okay what was muslim why

[39:53]did he go to kufa and you're probably thinking oh he went

[39:56]to kufa to verify the loyalty of these people so if you

[40:03]pick up what i said earlier the kuffin tribes are what they're

[40:07]all mixed up and thrown around and imam hussain's mission is to

[40:11]come is to start after ashura muslim is the son of a

[40:15]who is an expert in the lineages of the arab tribes so

[40:19]he knows who's who and from where so cool for a stranger

[40:24]looks the same but for somebody like muslim who is knowledgeable in

[40:30]the tribes and who's who who's originally from sham and who's originally

[40:33]from kufa he can differentiate who is the remaining shia of irene

[40:40]who are those of the shiite so there's a few different points

[40:46]that i i discussed today briefly and these are you know just

[40:50]hints a little samples of some of the important points in our

[40:54]history that we need to be familiar with when it comes to

[40:58]understanding the mission of our imams and we need to understand some

[41:03]of the background information we need to understand some of these events

[41:07]so i just wanted to give you as much as i could

[41:11]regarding these events obviously you can imagine this requires courses in order

[41:14]to have a better understanding so now we go into the next

[41:20]few years and go down the centuries that was the short-term victory

[41:23]of imam hussain let's go to the long-term and i'll end with

[41:28]this so short term is that the iman's revolution was able to

[41:32]bring back the shia of ali who had access and and the

[41:38]knowledge of the sin of the prophet taught by imam but now

[41:40]let's go to the long term and i mentioned yesterday that the

[41:44]mission of imam hussain resulted in what and people like imam assad

[41:51]to have ability capability to spread the sun of the prophet to

[41:55]the masses and like i told you yesterday that if we look

[42:00]at the amount of narrators those who say i heard want you

[42:04]know i heard jafar muhammad say one two three if we look

[42:09]at the different narrators that narrated from imam assad versus those who

[42:12]narrated from imam ali imam ali had about a and 400 plus

[42:17]different people narrate from him imam hussain only had about 141 or

[42:21]109 different people narrate from him imam assad had 3 217 different

[42:27]people narrated from him say i heard jaffa muhammad say one two

[42:33]three okay so when we just look at that we could just

[42:37]that by itself shows us that imam hussain's mission to revive the

[42:43]sunnah did work it was a success because now people had access

[42:47]to the sunnah and then this whole people of kufa think being

[42:49]bad people yes the enemies that bet hated kufa you know what

[42:54]i want to read off a few examples of that okay i

[42:58]have a timeline of a hundred and twenty-five years from the battle

[43:04]of gemini all the way down to benny abbas and with instead

[43:09]of me i can come here and read you all the narrations

[43:14]that praise ahikufa all the narrations that speak ill about kufa and

[43:17]then we can go back and forth in the net authenticity and

[43:20]try to prove who's who but let's put that to the side

[43:24]and let's just look at the enemies of ahikufa and just in

[43:28]the time of imam ali the battle of jemele against the heads

[43:34]of quraish who was the army of imam ali kuffar and they

[43:37]took out who the army of operation basra and then we go

[43:42]fast forward the battle suffering the biggest civil war in islamic history

[43:45]who was the army of imam ali ahmed khufu fast forward a

[43:49]bit go to the battle of naharawan who was the army of

[43:52]imam ali ahmed did in those 10 years i talked about before

[43:58]who was he attacking kulfa then we fast forward a little bit

[44:05]look at what yazid did in his period of time right what

[44:07]his main focus were the shia of kulfa then we're not done

[44:14]there go four years later and look at what the khufan armies

[44:17]were doing the shiite armies of arak doing after karbala to the

[44:22]armies of benin omaha how much battles took place and you go

[44:26]is it just with many omaha no so we got quraysh then

[44:30]we got benny omega from the sufyani side and then we have

[44:34]ben zuber who was mukhtar fighting towards the end of his life

[44:37]quraysh from beni zubair then we're not done there we go back

[44:44]to bernie from the marwani side abdi manik and all of his

[44:49]people al-hajjaj by himself killed 120 000 shia these are all mainly

[44:56]from kufa because the khufan families represented the the the bulk of

[44:59]the shiite they were the headquarters of the shiite i'm not saying

[45:02]it was only in kufa we had shia from the time of

[45:06]mom i just went all the way to south lebanon right but

[45:11]the center the capital the headquarters for the heritage was from kufa

[45:16]and i can go on and on to all of the different

[45:20]people from the mainstream muslim you know government that are attacking who

[45:24]the khufans and why very simple because they were narrating the hadith

[45:30]that came through imam ali's chain and not from the mainstream from

[45:36]the government side so yes they were a problem they were enemies

[45:40]they were not loyal but to who to the government not to

[45:47]imam most of imam sladok's companions and students were all from kufun

[45:51]families so that by itself for me you know is enough obviously

[45:55]there's going to be talk about added cool foot and talking about

[46:00]how bad they are because they had look at who their enemies

[46:02]were you know the the kuffins preserving pushing the teachings and the

[46:06]narrations of the imams is what caused books like swahili to be

[46:11]written in s all these books were written to catch up with

[46:18]the the work of imam assad from his companion so there's a

[46:23]lot to be discussed and if you want more information you know

[46:28]contact us through knowledge seekers on on instagram or on uh and

[46:32]the facebook inshallah will be at your service um i hope you

[46:37]got a glimpse of some of the important matters when it comes
