[25:42]loud salawat [Applause] before i begin with tonight's talk inshaallah i want

[25:48]to take a moment to thank all of the dear brothers and

[25:53]sisters who have worked hard throughout this ashraf the volunteers brothers and

[25:58]sisters who'd come here before any of us came here to commemorate

[26:01]these nights with all of the time and effort and all of

[26:04]the energy that they've put into all of these programs the smooth

[26:09]operations at least as far as i've been seeing alhamdulillah with so

[26:14]many brothers and sisters coming and going and leaving may allah bless

[26:17]all of them all of those who worked hard to make these

[26:21]majalis possible let us take a moment to recite suratul fatiha for

[26:24]all of them for all of them muhammad the topic that we'll

[26:54]be discussing tonight inshallah is the topic of tawas this is a

[26:57]practice that you find many times is associated with certain schools of

[27:01]thought within islam and is not necessarily associated with other schools of

[27:06]thought within islam many might assume that one of the ways you

[27:09]can tell the difference between someone who is shia and someone who

[27:14]is sunni is that the shia person will practice this practice of

[27:18]tawasul he will perform tawasur whereas the sunni person he will not

[27:22]perform the practice of tawasul and to a certain extent that may

[27:25]be correct though not fully and you find that this topic of

[27:30]tawasul is something that is deeply embedded specifically within these majalis that

[27:32]we hold when we come to the end of many of these

[27:36]majalis we raise our hands in dura we say oh allah please

[27:40]grant us our hajjat by the right of this individual by the

[27:43]right of that individual this individual might be a male it might

[27:47]be a man it might be by the right of muhammad hussain

[27:49]for example it might be a woman by the right of allah

[27:53]whatever the case might have been but you find that this is

[27:57]a practice that's embedded within even our majalis this topic of tawasul

[28:00]however is a topic that brings about many questions there are many

[28:04]questions that can be raised with regards to it is it even

[28:06]permissible who can play the role of this wasilla and furthermore and

[28:12]more importantly what is the wisdom behind performing tawasun if allah allowed

[28:17]us to do it why did he allow us to do it

[28:21]if i can ask allah directly why has he encouraged me to

[28:25]ask him by the right of another individual or by the right

[28:28]of another being and you'll find that this topic is one of

[28:33]those topics that you'll receive many many questions about i cannot tell

[28:37]you how many questions i've received about this topic and you'll find

[28:41]that within the college level age group is where this question shows

[28:44]itself and presents itself more than any other time when the children

[28:48]are in elementary they're in middle school they're in high school it's

[28:52]a different discussion altogether by the time they get to college the

[28:56]discussion is very different they enter into a different world you might

[28:59]enter into a college you might be going to a college maybe

[29:01]there aren't that many shia there maybe there's an msa there you

[29:05]want to join this msa very quickly you realize that there are

[29:08]practices that they have that you do not have there are practices

[29:11]you have that they do not have and one of those areas

[29:14]that they will ask you about one of those areas where questions

[29:20]come up is this concept of tawas so they will say listen

[29:22]when we need something from allah we go to what is this

[29:28]thing that you guys do you ask allah subhanahu ta'ala by the

[29:32]right of this person sometimes you put yourself through so much trouble

[29:37]so much effort to leave your hometown to travel to another city

[29:40]well the places you travel to my narrations say this person will

[29:45]tell you only three masajit are there the shrines of these individuals

[29:48]and are part of these three masajid that you should be traveling

[29:51]to to go and ask for your hajjat for example and so

[29:55]they'll raise this question sometimes this question is raised in a respectful

[30:00]way meaning that they're genuinely curious about why is it that you

[30:03]practice your faith in this way sometimes no it's raised in a

[30:05]disrespectful way it's raised in a way where this person is accusing

[30:11]you of simply being a mushrik saying why do you do this

[30:14]you're a mushrik don't talk to me this person might sit with

[30:17]the jews and christians on campus but when it comes to you

[30:20]you might say listen you're not even muslim don't talk to me

[30:24]as if you are a muslim and therefore there are many questions

[30:26]that are raised with regards to the topic of tawasol and the

[30:29]most important of all of them is this we pride ourselves on

[30:35]embracing a faith and having a religion that in which we don't

[30:38]need an intermediary in which we don't need to go to someone

[30:43]else to have our sins forgiven when we want our hajjat we

[30:45]go directly to allah i don't have to go talk to some

[30:49]priest for example to have my sins forgiven this is something we

[30:52]pride ourselves on and somehow some way it seems sometimes that this

[30:57]concept of tawassur doesn't seem to mesh with this idea and if

[31:01]allah subhanahu ta'ala truly has allowed us to come and speak to

[31:06]him directly then why would he even allow us or encourage us

[31:10]sometimes to do tawasul to ask him by the right of someone

[31:15]else one discussion is is it allowed this is one discussion the

[31:18]second discussion which is more important for me personally is why did

[31:23]allah legislate this anyways why not just keep it simple whenever you

[31:26]need something come and talk to me you don't need to go

[31:29]and ask by the right of this person you don't need to

[31:32]go to this shrine you don't need to have a wasilla when

[31:33]you're asking me just come and ask me directly and i will

[31:37]respond to you what is the wisdom what is the philosophy behind

[31:40]this concept of tawasul these 10 nights we were talking about enhancing

[31:44]your relationship with allah and yet someone might ask well if i

[31:50]have a building a relationship with allah what is this idea of

[31:52]tawas what is this idea of wasilla what do i need this

[31:54]person or that person to ask allah just ask him directly therefore

[31:59]this is a question that directly is related to the theme that

[32:02]we have chosen for these ten nights tonight inshallah we'll delve into

[32:06]the topic of the concept and practice of tawasul and we'll do

[32:12]so by posing the following questions number one what are the quranic

[32:16]proofs and quranic verses of the quran that speak about the practice

[32:20]of tawas number two what are the eight different forms of the

[32:24]practice of tawasul and which one of them is the most sensitive

[32:29]to be discussed between the two schools of thought within islam number

[32:34]three do shias and sunnis agree on any aspect of this topic

[32:37]is there any overlap between their understandings or is it the case

[32:42]that they have completely different understandings on the topic of tawasor number

[32:47]four how did tawasul impact the life of the great marjah the

[32:51]marjah who was a teacher to many other marajar who was none

[32:58]impact his life on a personal level and number five and finally

[33:03]and the most important question that we will discuss tonight if tawasul

[33:07]is permissible if tawasul is allowed why did allah legislate it what

[33:12]is the wisdom and philosophy behind it why not just keep it

[33:16]plain and simple whenever you need something come and ask me and

[33:19]a done deal tonight inshallah we'll delve into these five questions with

[33:24]aloud let us begin from here this concept of tawasul this practice

[33:35]of tawasul you will find between the two schools of thought within

[33:39]islam this is one of the most sensitive issues that is brought

[33:45]up before i made my trip here to dearborn had a quick

[33:47]stop in new york in new york we're going with family we

[33:50]got a uber lift whatever you want to call it from one

[33:54]place to another place we got into the uber lyft turns out

[33:57]this brother is a muslim brother yes and of course he asked

[34:03]where are you from originally so on and so forth i'm from

[34:05]iran or so you're shia okay and the first thing that comes

[34:11]up when he knows that you are a shia is well i

[34:13]have one issue with you guys and he was very respectful by

[34:17]the way he was very friendly in his approach but he said

[34:20]listen i consider you guys to be my brothers and sisters you

[34:24]guys are muslims you guys are wonderful but we have one problem

[34:28]with you so what's this problem he said listen when we go

[34:32]to makkah and go to medina this is a place for us

[34:35]to remember allah subhanahu wa this is a place where we come

[34:40]we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for stuff you guys are constantly

[34:43]making about muhammad and fatima and these individuals i can't bear this

[34:48]when you come there it's about allah say ya allah i need

[34:53]this ya allah need that don't bring in these other individuals constantly

[34:56]yes one of my relatives were in the car said so when

[35:02]you go ma nabi right you see the grave of the prophet

[35:04]you have no reaction to the grave of the prophet you say

[35:09]this is like worshiping the dead he said no masjid nabi is

[35:12]good too you know he said so when you go to masjid

[35:13]nabi why do you go there then say yeah i go to

[35:18]visit there you go you go to visit because in visiting these

[35:21]graves there's a lesson in it for you you learn from them

[35:25]you reflect on these characters so on and so forth all of

[35:28]this to say out of the hundreds of issues that the two

[35:32]schools of thought will disagree on this issue is the first issue

[35:36]that might come to the mind of someone who's looking at our

[35:39]school of thought from the outside and it helps you understand how

[35:42]sensitive of an issue this is between this and the perspective that

[35:47]we have on the sahaba of the prophet these two issues seem

[35:50]to be the most sensitive of all therefore it's better for us

[35:55]to have a better understanding of this topic because as sensitive as

[35:58]these two issues are you will find that both camps if you

[36:04]are a follower of sunnah if you are someone recited please if

[36:11]you are someone who associates himself one more sunday please one more

[36:25]sona please one regardless of which camp you fall under which regardless

[36:44]of which school of thought you attribute yourself to you will find

[36:48]that when this topic comes up the followers of both schools of

[36:50]thought will go back into their own camps and they will come

[36:54]back with their arguments but you'll quickly realize that their arguments on

[36:58]both sides seem to miss the mark altogether they seem to miss

[37:04]where the true point of argument is what the real question in

[37:06]the midst of this whole discussion is so you ask the average

[37:09]shia individual about this and he will say listen the quran talks

[37:14]about end of discussion in fact you should come with me with

[37:16]ziada this year when i'm going you should come because the quran

[37:18]talks about tawas let's do it together this is the shii perspective

[37:21]yes the perspective from allah says no this is not the perspective

[37:26]i agree on i have a different perspective on and this before

[37:28]we get into answering this whole question i want to vent a

[37:33]little bit because when we come and we gather for the majalis

[37:37]of imam al-hussein whether it's muharram whether it's ramadan whatever the case

[37:39]might be in our communities as a whole you will find that

[37:44]generally speaking on the educational side on the knowledge side embracing the

[37:49]knowledge of bait we have done a relatively poor job as communities

[37:53]yes when we want to come and follow the bay there's two

[37:57]wings that we use there's emotion there's these tears there's black that

[38:01]we're wearing so on and so forth and then there is the

[38:06]knowledge of the bait and you need both of these if you

[38:09]try to fly with one you're going to hit the ground and

[38:12]you can hit the ground very hard in our communities in the

[38:17]average community not every community average community you will find the emotional

[38:20]side is there it's quite strong normally but the side where you

[38:27]discuss islamic topics you have a deeper understanding of your faith so

[38:30]that if someone asks you questions you have answers to provide many

[38:33]times this is lacking it's a serious problem and this is something

[38:39]that we need to start investing heavier in yes because if we

[38:43]come to these majalis whether it's muharram ramadan these are the times

[38:46]of the year where we sit down and we try to learn

[38:49]if we're not learning even during these times then what other major

[38:53]opportunities is going to pop up for an average family to learn

[38:56]about their faith to learn about the teachings of therefore it's important

[39:00]for us to always keep this in mind and as we'll go

[39:02]through these arguments you will see that the average shia individual has

[39:06]such poor arguments on this topic that sometimes it's quite embarrassing and

[39:12]i'm being very honest it's quite embarrassing sometimes to see how someone

[39:16]from this faith is trying to defend his faith but he doesn't

[39:19]have the knowledge or she doesn't have the knowledge to back it

[39:23]up this is a serious problem so you ask the average shia

[39:27]individual okay this concept of tawasul why do you believe in tawasul

[39:29]why can't we just go to allah directly all the time why

[39:33]do we have to ask through this person or that person sometimes

[39:35]he says well it's because you've never read the quran i've never

[39:39]read the quran the sunni person might say i read the quran

[39:43]more than you do he says yes you've never read the quran

[39:45]because you've never read surah maeda verse 35 suratul verse 35 says

[39:53]be fearful of allah reach salvation you need something between you and

[40:17]allah you say what else just look at the other verses of

[40:19]the quran the quran says in surah nisa verse 64 that there

[40:24]are those who when you tell them come to the prophet and

[40:26]let the prophet ask for forgiveness on your behalf they don't like

[40:29]it but if they were to come and the prophet were to

[40:33]ask for forgiveness on their behalf they would have found that allah

[40:40]is extremely merciful here the quran is telling you come the prophet

[40:44]will ask the prophet will do on your behalf you see what

[40:46]else says the famous verse everyone hold on to the rope of

[40:55]allah well whatever this rope is it's something other than allah subhana

[40:57]wa so you're coming to allah subhana tala through this rope this

[41:02]is what tawasul is see what else says the children of when

[41:05]they wanted to do is what did they do they came to

[41:10]their father they said o father why don't you ask for tawba

[41:16]on our behalf and he said i will i will do that

[41:19]and the prophet did not say did not say no no don't

[41:23]come and ask me go ask allah directly he said no i

[41:27]will ask for forgiveness on your behalf okay great the lecture should

[41:30]be done now yes we proved alhamdulillah the practice that you find

[41:35]in the quran and this person from sunnah will look you straight

[41:39]in the eye and say yes i've read all of these verses

[41:40]and i agree with all of these verses you're like okay so

[41:45]what's the problem then it says i believe in tawasul too you

[41:48]believe in tawasu no this is a she thing you're not supposed

[41:52]to believe in tawas so he says no i believe in talisman

[41:54]too the discussion is not on tawasul as a concept the discussion

[42:02]is on who can play the role of the wasilla who can

[42:05]you ask allah by can you ask him by anything by the

[42:11]right of anything or are there certain things that can play the

[42:15]role of the wasilla say yes the children of yakubu came and

[42:19]he asked for forgiveness on their behalf yes if the prophet is

[42:23]alive you can go and ask him to do dura on your

[42:27]behalf even the sunni want to tell you this so you're like

[42:29]oh where's the dispute where's the discussion he says there are certain

[42:32]things you ask allah subhana wa ta allah by them i don't

[42:35]agree on those things tawasul as a concept i agree on all

[42:40]muslims in the world believe in the concept of tawasu do they

[42:44]agree on the details of who can play the role of wasilla

[42:48]no that's where the details come very similar to the concept of

[42:51]shafara someone might say yes safara is something that shias believe in

[42:55]no sahih bukhari you fine the messenger of allah on the day

[43:02]of judgment that he will do shafarah for not only his the

[43:07]other ummas will come to him you'll do shafara for them too

[43:10]a you find many of these concepts are concepts that both schools

[43:17]of thought agree on it's the details where the differences of opinion

[43:21]start to present themselves say okay what are these differences of opinion

[43:24]anyway can i do tawasul in this way can i do tawasul

[43:29]in that way where in total when you put together the different

[43:32]forms of tawasul you will find that there are eight forms of

[43:36]tawasul we'll start from the beginning ones the first four or five

[43:40]everybody agrees on no problem on it you want to do telesur

[43:42]this way it doesn't matter if you follow bin baz it doesn't

[43:46]matter if you follow ibn miya it doesn't matter if you follow

[43:48]this person that person or you follow sheikh sadduc in these forms

[43:53]number one the first form of tawasu you ask allah by the

[43:57]right of his own names can you do tell us this way

[44:01]everybody agrees you can do tell us what are you doing yeah

[44:08]you ask allah by the right of his names you know those

[44:12]shorter lines in joshua that we love so much because they're shorter

[44:14]those are the lines they end very quickly we love those ones

[44:18]yes can i do tawasu in this way yes that's number one

[44:23]number two can i ask allah by the right of his attributes

[44:27]yes every muslim will tell you this what do you do at

[44:30]the beginning of darakumar you say i allah you by the right

[44:37]of your mercy can i do tawasu from the far right to

[44:42]the far left from the staunches sunni scholar to the most easy

[44:46]going shia scholar if you can use that terminology say yes you

[44:48]can do tell us this way no problem that's number two number

[44:52]three i ask allah subhanahu ta'ala by his own actions ibrahimovic your

[45:04]blessings the same way you sent blessings over there can i do

[45:07]this everybody agrees on number three yes moving on to number four

[45:13]and this is where it gets a bit interesting can i ask

[45:18]allah ta'ala by the right of my own good deeds i had

[45:22]a special good deed between me and allah subhanahu ta'ala can i

[45:25]go to the door of allah and say oh allah give me

[45:29]this hajjad by the right of this good deed that i've done

[45:32]every school of thought agrees this is allowed this is tawasu no

[45:39]problem it's allowed and this is why you find in sahih muslim

[45:41]in sahih bukhari you find this famous narration of the story of

[45:46]the three men that were stuck in the cave it's narrated by

[45:50]the prophet the prophet one day was speaking to his company says

[45:52]there was one day three men they were on their way outside

[45:56]they were traveling the rain started when the rain started they found

[46:00]a cave somewhere to go into when they went into this cave

[46:03]then all of a sudden a stone a rock fell down it

[46:07]took over the pathway out of the cave so now they got

[46:11]locked in into the cave and the narration says these three men

[46:16]were sitting there and they didn't know what to do until they

[46:19]sat down and thought you know what we're going to ask allah

[46:21]by the right of some of the special deeds that we've done

[46:25]this is this is the way hopefully he'll respond to us so

[46:29]the first one started he said listen i have done a very

[46:34]particular good deed no one else knows about this only i know

[46:36]about it it's between me and allah subhanahu wa there was a

[46:42]time i used to milk my cattle and i used to bring

[46:45]it for my family and my parents one night i came they

[46:49]had already fallen asleep it was too late for me to bring

[46:51]them the milk i went and waited outside their door until it

[46:56]was morning time the moment they woke up in the morning i

[47:00]gave them them this milk this was my way of honoring them

[47:03]of respecting them he said oh allah by the right of that

[47:06]one night that i spent outside the door oh allah move this

[47:12]rock the narration says the rock moved a little bit but it

[47:14]wasn't enough for them to leave second person got up he said

[47:19]you know what i have a special deed this is between me

[47:23]and allah will by the right of this specialty so what special

[47:26]deed is this he said there was a time i had a

[47:31]cousin this cousin of mine she had some financial need i had

[47:35]the money to take care of that need but i made a

[47:38]condition that if she wants this loan from me if she wants

[47:42]this money from me she has to accompany me in such and

[47:44]such deed it's haram did yes and as much as she insisted

[47:49]that she didn't want to be a part of anything like this

[47:50]i said no this is my condition you want the money this

[47:53]is how you're going to get the money until time passed and

[47:56]then one day i was sitting there i said what terrible thing

[47:58]i have done i changed my decision i went to her i

[48:01]said listen here's the money you don't need to you know be

[48:05]involved in any sort of deed with me and she took the

[48:10]money she walked away she took care of her hajja and that's

[48:13]it allah by the right of that change of mind that i

[48:17]had move this rock the narration says the move the rock moved

[48:21]again but not enough they were still stuck this third man he

[48:27]got up when he got up he said there was a time

[48:29]where someone was in financial need towards me and this person who

[48:36]was coming to take a loan from me or i or forgive

[48:40]me i had taken loan a loan from him this person i

[48:42]went back to give him his loan money back when i went

[48:46]to give him his loan money back he said listen i don't

[48:48]want to take it i don't need it when i left i

[48:52]said you know what in reality this still belongs to him i'm

[48:54]gonna keep it here if one day he changes his mind i'll

[48:58]have it for him i took his money i invested that money

[49:01]i kept that money on the side it turned into a number

[49:03]of sheep and you know cattle and so on and so forth

[49:07]one day he came to me say you know what now i

[49:10]need the money i said yeah no problem i had assumed that

[49:13]this day might come your money is here and this all of

[49:18]this cattle is for you too he said but i didn't give

[49:19]you this much money he said yeah i know but i took

[49:22]the money i said maybe one day you need it i invested

[49:24]it for you you can take all this cattle oh allah by

[49:28]the right of this special deed that i did for you and

[49:33]the narration says in muslim and bukhari that now the rock moved

[49:38]enough for them to get out of this cave can i ask

[49:43]allah by the right of a special deed i've done this is

[49:45]a form of tawasol every muslim scholar will tell you yes doesn't

[49:50]matter and this is one of those things brothers and sisters i

[49:55]encourage you and myself to do on a special night like tonight's

[49:58]ask yourself if you have hajjat and we all have hajjat right

[50:02]we all have requests from allah do you have a special deed

[50:06]maybe you feel a bit proud about you know proud in a

[50:08]good sense maybe you feel like this was a special deed maybe

[50:12]you feel like nobody else knows about this deed that on a

[50:15]special night like this you can go to allah with the special

[50:18]deed of yours say oh allah i did this special deed others

[50:22]don't know about it grant me my hajjah tonight on this special

[50:26]night by the rite of this good deed of mine you might

[50:31]say well i can't really think of anything well maybe now is

[50:35]the time to make that intention maybe now is the time for

[50:38]you to figure out this gift that you want to give to

[50:42]allah what is this gift going to be for you maybe for

[50:46]you it's something relating to your parents maybe something a kindness you

[50:49]do to your children maybe it's a charity maybe it's an apology

[50:53]you owe to someone whatever it might be but if i sit

[50:56]down and think i want to ask allah subhanahu ta'ala by the

[50:59]right of a good deed of mine and nothing comes to my

[51:01]mind maybe tonight i can make that intention ya allah i want

[51:06]to make this sacrifice for you i want to make this gift

[51:09]for you when i ask you i ask you by the right

[51:11]of this good deed of mine think you think for yourself i

[51:13]think for myself what is it that i could hold on my

[51:17]hand on the day of judgement i can walk into maksha you

[51:19]say allah i have this special gift and on these special nights

[51:24]i can ask allah by the right of this good deed this

[51:26]is the fourth form of tawasu let us move on to number

[51:32]five onwards recited please number five can i come and ask special

[51:39]individuals in particular the prophet for them to pray for me while

[51:45]they are alive these are the key words can i do this

[51:51]every school of thought agrees yes you can do this no problem

[51:53]you were talking about these verses of quran the children of yahweh

[51:56]came they asked yahweh they said ask for forgiveness for us all

[52:00]this stuff yes they say yes was alive they came and asked

[52:02]while he was alive not after he left this world while he

[52:06]was alive to do tawbah for them to do is for them

[52:10]yes while the prophet is alive can we do this yes agreed

[52:14]upon in both schools so you say okay everyone is agreeing upon

[52:16]everything so where's the difference in the discussion huh six through eight

[52:21]is where things get kind of messy things get kind of detailed

[52:25]number six can i ask allah by the right of the prophets

[52:27]and for us by extension by the right of it this is

[52:33]where things start to differ now in other schools of thought they

[52:39]will say some scholars of theirs will say no you don't have

[52:41]the right to do this this is not a practice that we

[52:45]find in our narrations you say well you're shii right to say

[52:49]yes so how do you prove that this practice is allowed asking

[52:53]allah by the right of the prophet by the right of debate

[52:58]it's very simple brothers and sisters in our books there are narrations

[53:01]that talk about this in their books these narrations are not found

[53:05]which is that simple is that simple we had a difference of

[53:10]opinion about who speaks on behalf of the prophet after the prophet

[53:13]is gone yes this is the difference between shia and sunni yes

[53:16]because of that we have different books of narration because of that

[53:20]you're looking at one book i'm looking at a different book this

[53:22]book al-kafi i don't know whatever these books tell me you can

[53:26]perform this form of tawasol when you go to bukhari and muslim

[53:31]and so on and so forth maybe you don't find these narrations

[53:34]okay in your faith it's not allowed in my faith it's allowed

[53:37]even in the sunni school of thought this is not a unanimous

[53:40]opinion that this is problematic this form of tawasu but you might

[53:43]say some of them okay no problem some answers to you and

[53:47]says well this is a form of bidad this is a form

[53:50]of innovation no problem no problem the wudu that you did brothers

[53:56]and sisters today and they will do that maybe your sunni friend

[53:59]did today essentially when you're doing two different forms of what you're

[54:05]saying technically you're saying your form of wudu is a form of

[54:09]innovation and based on their faith he's saying your form of wudu

[54:12]is a form of innovation is a form of bidad this is

[54:15]a technical thing it's there's no when you have differences in schools

[54:18]of thought this is essentially what's happening this is not a problem

[54:23]a sunni might look at the way you pray you put your

[54:26]hands down for example outside of the maliki school of thought and

[54:29]i say this is bitter why are your hands down your hands

[54:33]should be up you look at the same person you say based

[54:35]on my faith and my understanding the way you're praying is a

[54:40]form of bidar this is not a problem this is not where

[54:42]we draw the line this is not what creates problems there's a

[54:47]step that goes beyond this step that goes beyond this that becomes

[54:50]problematic that we'll get to when we discuss number eight of the

[54:54]forms of tawasul number six can i ask allah subhanahu talah by

[54:57]the right of it yes we have many dwaras that do this

[55:00]okay so this isn't a problem for us it might be a

[55:03]problem for other schools of thought that's fine that's their faith this

[55:06]is our faith they might say this is bitter from our perspective

[55:09]yes and we might look at the way they pray and say

[55:12]this is a form of that's not where you draw the line

[55:14]that's okay there's different schools of thought that's fine let us move

[55:18]on to number seven number seven is can i ask for the

[55:24]prophet to pray for me after he has left this world while

[55:29]he's alive everyone agrees no problem after he has left this world

[55:32]this is where things start to get even more problematic this person

[55:38]will tell you listen the prophet is dead he's gone who are

[55:45]you talking to it's like you went up to a stone or

[55:49]a wall you asked the ceiling oh please pray for me he

[55:52]says who are you asking he's gone you of course come back

[55:59]to him you say no the prophet is alive don't think that

[56:03]those who died in the path of allah that they are that

[56:06]they are alive he says yes i know that allah the prophet

[56:09]is alive but he has no connection with this world he might

[56:15]be alive in the barzah but he's not he has no connection

[56:19]with this world because the prophet himself said the moment you leave

[56:23]this world your connection with this world is only through three things

[56:27]yes either sadaqa that people are benefiting from yes or a child

[56:37]who prays for him this is the way you're in touch with

[56:40]this realm outside of these three you have no connection with this

[56:44]world so you're going you're asking this person who's dead this is

[56:49]a problem no problem in those narrations this is a problem in

[56:54]our narrations these are prevalent you say well it's that simple just

[56:58]because they have hadith that doesn't allow it maybe we have hadith

[57:04]that allows it there's a difference that's it it's as simple as

[57:08]that the majority of sunni shia issues are not to be discussed

[57:10]at the lower level they are to be discussed in terms of

[57:14]who speaks on behalf of the prophet that's the major issue the

[57:17]rest of these these are detailed issues my hadith tells me to

[57:21]pray this way your hadith tells you to pray that way end

[57:23]of discussion we're moving on you have a problem with my hadith

[57:27]that's a higher level discussion yes you understand you follow that's a

[57:31]higher level discussion on which hadith we're supposed to look at should

[57:34]we look at the hadith of abdullah ibn umar or hadith of

[57:36]this person of the hadith of that person or shall we look

[57:40]at the hadith of the al-bait only this is where the real

[57:42]discussion is this is number seven moving on to number eights number

[57:47]eight is the most sensitive of all of these forms of tawasul

[57:52]why because in this eighth form of tawasol and this would require

[57:57]your attention because it is something that both schools of thought have

[58:00]some learning to do about both schools of thought this eighth form

[58:05]of tawasul is when you ask the person directly the previous forms

[58:12]of tawasu say oh allah by the right of this person in

[58:15]this form of tawasul what are you doing you say ya muhammad

[58:21]ya ali directly though in the back of your mind you know

[58:25]that these individuals they're not independent in any of the power that

[58:29]they have you know this in the back of your mind yes

[58:32]but you're coming you're speaking to these individuals directly you're asking your

[58:36]hajjat of them directly this is the eighth form of tawasul is

[58:40]this form of tawasul prevalent in the narrations that we have from

[58:44]albeit no it's not that is to say the least brothers and

[58:50]sisters it's quite clear that did not want this to become a

[58:58]prevalent form of tawasul where instead of asking allah by the right

[59:02]of it which is very prevalent in our narrations that you ask

[59:08]these individuals directly even though deep down you know that this person

[59:11]is not independent of allah this is not prevalent in our narrations

[59:16]and i'm just sticking to the least amount there's more to be

[59:21]said about this i don't want to go down that path this

[59:23]is something that's not prevalent take a look for example in sahih

[59:27]how often do you find imam sajjad when he's doing dua does

[59:32]he say ya muhammad give me this give me this doesn't do

[59:40]that you know what he does very often he says oh allah

[59:45]send your praise and blessings upon this family and give me my

[59:49]hajjah what is this he's saying oh allah by the right of

[59:52]this family give me my hajj yes this is very prevalent but

[59:56]turning to ali directly turning to i don't know imam hussain this

[60:03]is not prevalent in our narrations to say the least so someone

[60:08]says well i recite duration this is what you do if you

[60:12]pay attention even in with a discussion that revolves around so there's

[60:16]a whole discussion around it but i'm going to leave that aside

[60:19]even are you asking the prophet directly if you pay attention to

[60:25]what you say in dharat tawasu what do you say ya you

[60:27]say ya oh prophet of allah i'm taking you with my hajjah

[60:42]to allah even there you're not asking him directly say yes i'm

[60:48]taking him oh allah when i come to you from my request

[60:52]i'm bringing who i'm bringing the best of your creation with me

[60:57]even there it may not require or qualify as this eighth form

[61:03]of tawasol that is so you know severe that many don't even

[61:07]call it tawasul anymore they call it meaning you're asking this person

[61:12]for help directly you're not asking allah anymore if it's not prevalent

[61:16]can someone turn around then and say this is haram if you

[61:18]do this this is no based on our faith the mainstream opinion

[61:24]amongst our scholars is no this is not haram either may not

[61:28]be the best form to do tawasul but it's not haram either

[61:32]and this is the point i want you to pay attention to

[61:35]especially we have kids in college this is the important point someone

[61:39]from the other schools of thought comes and says well in our

[61:41]school of thought this is haram you're not allowed to do it

[61:46]this is terrible you say okay fine in your school of thought

[61:49]you have the right to have your opinion yes you have the

[61:51]right in your opinion that this is not a allowed way a

[61:55]permissible way to do tawasu no problem you can't jump though from

[62:00]saying this is biddaha this is haram this is innovation to saying

[62:05]if you do this form of tawasul you are mushrik this is

[62:09]a jump yes i pray you pray the way you pray from

[62:15]my faith's perspective there is buddha in it the way i pray

[62:21]from your faith's perspective there is bid i in it but jumping

[62:23]from bitter to saying now you're mushrik this is the jump and

[62:29]this is a jump that you will find a minor loud you

[62:35]know minority within the sunni school of thought have made and they

[62:41]are so vocal that sometimes even when sunni school of thought scholars

[62:44]come out and say listen this form of tawasu is not good

[62:49]you shouldn't be doing it it's bad but it's not shirk that's

[62:52]all even the scholar will get attacked how dare you say it's

[62:57]not sheikh this is straight up shirk say you ask anyone for

[63:01]anything this is a form of now there are many ways that

[63:05]we talk about this and say no this is not you can't

[63:07]jump from this being considered to be considered a form of shirk

[63:12]this is where the discussion this is the problem when you talk

[63:17]about coexisting this is where the problem comes you can say this

[63:19]is bina this is haram i don't approve of it okay no

[63:22]problem this is your faith your school of thought you can have

[63:25]your opinion but to jump and say well you did this you

[63:28]called someone other than allah subhanahu wa hence you are kafir mushrik

[63:32]from this point onwards this also is a jump and it is

[63:37]a reach recitation please this idea of tawasul as we slowly wrap

[63:48]up inshallah coming to these special nights this idea of tawas brothers

[63:53]and sisters at least in the earlier forms of it setting aside

[63:56]number eight the other forms of it is it something that we

[63:59]find amongst our scholars is it something that we find as a

[64:02]practice amongst those special characters that we've had throughout our history definitely

[64:07]and they are individuals who are not known for being emotional individuals

[64:13]or individuals who are into this love and affection of alibaba and

[64:16]they don't care about anything else no they were individuals who were

[64:20]known as philosophers some of them people used to split hairs when

[64:24]it came to different intellectual sciences when it came to tawas the

[64:28]right forms of tawasu they used to do it a very good

[64:32]example of this is none but this famous philosopher of ours yes

[64:39]he used to live in a village because he was kicked out

[64:41]of his own town he used to live in a village that

[64:44]was that is now with car maybe 40 45 minutes away from

[64:46]the city of guam yes even now it's not a proper city

[64:51]let alone back in the day was definitely more of a village

[64:55]he says that whenever i ran into a philosophical issue and i

[64:57]could not solve it i used to make my way by foot

[65:02]towards the shrine of lady fatima and marsuma and i would go

[65:09]there i would worship allah by the way by the time i

[65:12]would come back my philosophical issue was taken care of solved and

[65:20]amongst those scholars who is not so easy going when it comes

[65:23]to calling a hadith or you know approving of a narration is

[65:30]none you find that he himself on a personal level was impacted

[65:36]by this concept of tawasu his friend says i came one muharram

[65:41]and i saw it in the city of najaf i told him

[65:44]i said listen you're wearing black he was wearing black head to

[65:50]toe even his socks were black he says i turned to him

[65:54]i said listen you are of older age yes and it may

[65:57]not be the best idea you're wearing this black head to toe

[66:02]in najaf it's very hot maybe you should go with a different

[66:04]color he says he told me listen everything i have is from

[66:10]wearing black and muharram and satar so what do you mean he

[66:15]said come sit i'll tell you a story he says i came

[66:19]and sat with ayatellahui he says listen i had a father this

[66:22]father of mine he was also a speaker he used to go

[66:27]up on the member he used to speak and amongst the things

[66:29]he used to speak about and amongst the things that he used

[66:31]to encourage others to do was to do another a promise yes

[66:37]by the right of the third imam for the third imam so

[66:43]that allah would grant your request he says of course we had

[66:50]a problem in our own households my mother and my father they

[66:56]were struggling to have kids the problem is they would try but

[66:58]then a miscarriage would happen every time so they weren't able to

[67:02]hold on to their kids so he says he used to tell

[67:06]people this all the time and people knew that we struggled our

[67:08]family struggled with this issue slowly people found out until one day

[67:11]he was up on the mimbad and he told people people you

[67:14]should do another for the third imam and maybe allah will respond

[67:17]to your requests and your hajj he came down from the mimba

[67:22]he was on his way home this lady caught up to him

[67:23]and this lady said listen you keep telling us to do this

[67:26]don't you have a hajj of your own do you have a

[67:30]request of your own he said yes i do she said well

[67:35]you should be doing this then he came home he told my

[67:40]mother his wife the mother of she said well she's right it's

[67:45]what we tell people we should try to we have a hajja

[67:47]too we want to have kids we're not able to have kids

[67:51]he says fine but what should we do we don't have anything

[67:55]to give for him we don't have anything to give for imam

[67:57]hussain so what should we do he says my father sat there

[68:04]with my mother and said listen we don't have anything but what

[68:07]we do have is our clothes we will wear black in commemoration

[68:11]of imam hussain you and i might decide to commemorate imam hussain

[68:14]not just only in this way with other ways as well with

[68:18]our time our money or whatever it is but for him he

[68:20]had nothing else to offer this is the only thing he could

[68:23]do he said this is what i can do wear black muharram

[68:27]and i'm going to wear black i said fine we'll do this

[68:29]so this time they tried the child is now in the womb

[68:35]it's growing a number of months passed by seven months now pass

[68:41]by no miscarriage and the story says that one night he says

[68:46]one night someone came one of the other students of the house

[68:51]that came and he knocked on the door of my father late

[68:53]at night my father came he opened the door so what is

[68:56]it this late at night he said i have a question for

[69:01]you is your wife pregnant she carrying a child he said yes

[69:07]she's carrying a child seven months now because of that time if

[69:12]you were pregnant it wasn't something that you would disclose so quickly

[69:15]yes they would hold on to that idea so yes my wife

[69:21]is pregnant why he said listen i had a dream and in

[69:26]this dream i saw the prophet came to me and when the

[69:32]prophet came to me he said listen go and tell hui that

[69:37]this one this child that they have we're gonna hold on to

[69:43]him because of the now that he did for my grandson we're

[69:47]gonna hold on to him this one is our gift he will

[69:53]be a great adam we'll give him to you because of that

[69:56]another you did for my grandson and you should name him abu

[70:05]qasim you should name him after me and i to he says

[70:08]this is how i was then named and of course he himself

[70:16]was that child now you think ayatollah is someone who goes easy

[70:19]on narrations and a hadith and no think twice think again he's

[70:24]very strict on these issues yes but when it comes to the

[70:26]concept of tawasul when it's done properly you find that it impacted

[70:33]his life on a very personal level and beyond this there are

[70:36]sunni scholars from early islamic history who were known to be individuals

[70:42]who used to visit the grave of the eighth imam amongst them

[70:45]a famous sunni scholar of hadith his name was ibn hibban he's

[70:48]the author of sahih of ibn hibban he's a scholar of hadith

[70:53]in this book of hadith he has a book by the name

[70:57]of the reliable narrators when he's talking about the reliable narrators he

[71:01]talks about one narrator by the name of alibi musa he says

[71:05]ali ibn musa is also one of those reliable narrators you and

[71:08]i will call him an imam but he says he's a reliable

[71:12]narrator and he says i've gone to his grave many times and

[71:20]he says there is a thing with his grave every time i

[71:24]ran into an issue i used to go to his grave and

[71:28]ask allah in the presence of the grave and every time my

[71:32]problem would be solved and he says he says i've tested this

[71:41]multiple times another great scholar very similar thing they say when he

[71:48]used to come out he's a fourth century islamic scholar when used

[71:50]to come out with his students his students would see the way

[71:54]he would show humility in the presence of the grave of the

[71:57]eighth imam they were surprised it would surprise us what he would

[72:03]do these are the great scholars that we have yes now one

[72:05]might ask and this is the most important question the reason why

[72:10]i chose this topic to begin with one might ask sheikh i

[72:13]understand this form of tawasu these forms they are allowed if someone

[72:16]comes and says they're not allowed i say no problem in your

[72:20]faith they're not allowed in my faith they are allowed we have

[72:22]narrations about them outside of the eighth form that may not be

[72:24]prevalent in our school of thought the other forms are very prevalent

[72:26]there's no problem with them okay i understand if someone says why

[72:31]do you do this tawasul i say because it's allowed because of

[72:33]this reasons in my faith in my school of thought but what

[72:37]is the wisdom what is the philosophy why does allah even want

[72:41]us to come and ask through these individuals why not make it

[72:44]plain and simple that way we didn't have to sit through this

[72:47]long lecture that sheikh mahdi gave tonight why not make it plain

[72:53]and simple you need something ask allah done deal you don't have

[72:56]to worry about anything what's the wisdom behind it what's the philosophy

[73:00]behind it there are four reasons that i will mention there might

[73:04]be more but these are the four that come to my mind

[73:07]number one it is a test of humility of the human being

[73:10]that he wants to ask allah for something he has to be

[73:14]on the good side of the representative of god on earth it's

[73:20]a test of humility shaytaan as long as it was god and

[73:23]worship god and do sadja to god he had no problem the

[73:27]moment they told them all you have to come and now you

[73:30]have to show your respect to this individual and he wasn't worshipping

[73:34]adam you're still supposed to worship god but the moment they said

[73:38]this what did he say enough this is a test of humility

[73:44]of the human being this is number one number two when you

[73:46]do tawasul it is a reminder of your insignificance and how technically

[73:52]speaking you are not worthy of speaking to allah directly technically speaking

[73:58]you say but allah said whenever you need something you can come

[74:03]speak to me yes he said that out of his mercy but

[74:06]are you worthy to go by yourself with your sins and your

[74:11]shortcomings and my sins and my shortcomings and just knock on his

[74:12]door say i want to talk to you technically we're not worthy

[74:18]of that status you have to take someone else with you you

[74:22]have to take the alibate with you you want to go speak

[74:27]to allah in your what do you do in your adhan across

[74:31]all schools of thought please why why because you have to acknowledge

[74:44]him on your journey to allah say but i can speak to

[74:48]him yes allah out of his mercy his doors are always open

[74:50]anyone wants to come and speak to him can come and speak

[74:53]to him but this is a reminder that technically you and i

[74:57]are full of shortcomings and sins this is number two number three

[75:00]the reason why allah says sometimes when you want to ask me

[75:05]ask me through these individuals is to remind you of their great

[75:09]status what do we read in the first portion of it i

[75:20]am asking you by the right of those who are people of

[75:27]authority those that you told me to listen to them and through

[75:33]this obligation of listening to them you taught me their status they're

[75:40]on a different level you want to come talk to me why

[75:43]don't you go ask through them you can come to me sometimes

[75:48]too there's no problem sometimes come through them and number four and

[75:51]maybe the most important of all allah wants you to have an

[75:58]emotional relationship with this family he wants to see you seeing this

[76:03]family as connected to your hajjah to the blessings of allah say

[76:09]allah i want to come i want to ask you directly he

[76:13]says listen have you met hussein before have you met this special

[76:18]servant of mine before you should get to know hussain say allah

[76:23]but i have this hajjah it says yes ask me through hussain

[76:27]why what's the headache i'll just come to you directly it says

[76:30]no you have to get to know hussein if you don't know

[76:34]hussain you're missing out if you don't know this family you're missing

[76:38]out come and ask me directly sometimes sometimes ask me by the

[76:44]rights of this grandson of the prophet come and ask me by

[76:48]the right of so that you can get to know who he

[76:55]is because if you get to know who hussein is you might

[76:58]just fall in love with his character you might just build a

[77:04]love and affection for him fourteen hundred years later when they mention

[77:09]his name tears might flow from your eyes come and ask me

[77:14]by the right of hussain this hussain if you get to know

[77:18]him you will never forget who he is this hussain the things

[77:22]that we did on the tenth of muharram but he never said

[77:25]anything disobedient towards us this hussain is so special for me my

[77:33]greatest messenger was crying for him this hussain he has a brother

[77:41]everyone wants to have a brother like him we took his brother

[77:46]away from him still he didn't say anything displeasing to us this

[77:52]saying he has a sister get to know his sister you might

[77:58]just fall in love with who his sister is you might just

[78:03]be mesmerized by these characters this hussain he has a son his

[78:09]name is ali akbar we took ali akbar away from him when

[78:15]he used to walk he used to remind hussein of the prophets

[78:19]the way he walked the way he talked the way he did

[78:23]things we took ali away from hussein and still he did not

[78:29]disobey us and still he said ya allah whatever you want this

[78:35]hussain of mine he had a son abdullah six months old we

[78:43]took abdullah away from hussein he held his own child in front

[78:50]of him and his own child was leaving this world in front

[78:54]of him but he did still said it's easier for me o

[79:02]allah because you're watching you can come ask me directly anytime you

[79:06]want sometimes you should come and ask me through hussain you need

[79:11]to get to know who this family is if you don't know

[79:15]who this family is you're missing out if you get to know

[79:19]who this family is you might just be mesmerized for the rest

[79:21]of your life for 1400 years and counting this is the wisdom

[79:28]that allah has legislated this concept of tawasul for us we raise

[79:32]our hands on these special nights especially tonight and we ask allah

[79:36]subhanahu wa ta'ala by the right of his by the right of

[79:41]imam al-hussein who tomorrow on the 10th of muharram will go through

[79:43]maasai and difficulties you and i cannot even imagine we ask allah

[79:48]subhanahu wa by the right of the patience of zainab we ask

[79:54]allah by the loyalty of abbas we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[79:58]by the obedience of we ask allah by the inanimate innocence of

[80:05]ali that allah blesses all of our families that allah frees all

[80:09]of those who are in difficulty in pain under oppression under bombings

[80:13]as we speak we ask allah that he frees them from their

[80:17]difficulties and pains in sha allah and finally last but not least

[80:22]we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he hastens the return of

[80:24]our beloved 12th imam with a loud soul [Applause] before we start

[81:07]the poem and the mesh list i just like to make a

[81:11]couple closing remarks to our program as tomorrow is the last night

[81:15]and tomorrow will just be the majlis so first on behalf of

[81:21]the asura project we would like to thank everyone who attended we

[81:24]would also like to thank shaykh mahdi stani for coming to our

[81:27]community for another year and blessing us with this presence alhamdulillah the

[81:32]feedback the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and i can say it

[81:38]would certainly that myself and others have greatly benefited from his lectures

[81:42]alhamdulillah it is truly an honor to have him here every single

[81:44]year that we for the last two years and with that i'd

[81:48]like to start with the poem in sha allah and then we'll

[81:51]go into the masjid muhammad is not an anecdote in the timeline

[82:10]of history nor is he just an innocent child killed at the

[82:14]hands of mad men persecuting him was the epitome of their misery

[82:17]abdullah is the enemy's grandest mistake he is the paragon of sacrifice

[82:24]abdullah's death is a symbol of the perpetual chase for power and

[82:30]greed he's evidence that oppression has no boundaries no mercy no creed

[82:35]abdullah is the millions of children that are still being swallowed by

[82:41]power hungry vultures when the companions fell under the slumber of death

[82:47]hussein alaihis salaam shouted for help but the infamous call for help

[82:53]was aimed at us not them hussein was not trying to revive

[82:56]the deceased but to awaken the ones currently asleep tonight is the

[83:01]tenth night of muharram it was on this night that the companions

[83:04]claimed their loyalty it was on this night that they made the

[83:09]jump it was on this night that the companions remained are we

[83:12]ready to join his campaign or will our names perish and cease

[83:18]to exist muhammad [Music] muhammad [Music] [Music] allah [Music] [Music] may the

[85:21]peace of allah be upon the benevolent heart of imam hussain may

[85:30]the peace of allah be upon you abdullah as you are his

[85:42]vast mercy and the salvation of this [Music] um [Music] this is

[86:22]the last night in karbala a stranger [Music] thirsty [Music] the peace

[86:52]of allah is upon you and upon your family and your baby

[86:57][Music] let's set the scene in our hearts and minds this is

[87:06]the night before the day of the massacre it's dark in the

[87:15]desert and imam saying is reflecting speak on light of sorrow of

[87:26]tears and hearts and woe do [Music] gazed upon [Music] [Music] and

[87:58]he's thinking how shall they fare when he will fall when the

[88:09]tents burn who will they [Music] lay [Music] from wounds jaded how

[88:37]shall they run between tons how shall they hide from bashing whips

[88:51]and balloons their call will be feigned and sad how sane dear

[89:01]saint take our hand jose [Music] answer comes only echo returns perhaps

[89:30]they will look towards the river's banks and call his name one

[89:40]last time perhaps his hands can still carry a sword perhaps he'll

[89:53]bring water one final time my bus [Music] has pained our eyes

[90:45]shut our tears and brought great calamity upon our loved one in

[90:51]a land of trial and hardship and has committed us to distress

[90:57]and affliction until the end of days so for hossain let the

[91:01]weepers weep for weeping for hussain wipes away the greatest of sins

[91:08]and tonight is the night of weeping as we recall the final

[91:16]hours before the tenth day imagine how that must have been like

[91:22]imagine the anticipation the sorrow the sadness the fear and the hearts

[91:30]of zainab and her sisters and the woman that were in the

[91:35]caravan and the young children besieged in a desert that night was

[91:42]difficult in al-imam al-hussein spoke to his companions but he also had

[91:49]a conversation with his sister zainab he spoke to zayn up gently

[91:57]and consoled her for the coming tragedy he reminded her of the

[92:04]virtue of patience and the great value of the role that she

[92:09]will carry but may allah may god help the heart of zainab

[92:14]the mother of calamities they call her um because of how many

[92:20]calamities she dealt with how did she feel that night as she

[92:26]waited as she awaited the coming morning it's as if sayed azainab

[92:36]was speaking with the night sky that day pleading with it not

[92:41]to allow the morning to rise [Music] [Music] [Music] length in your

[93:25]hours it's a hypothetical discussion between zainab and the night under the

[93:33]glowing [Music] would stars with her lips chapped despair through the lands

[93:43]and up would say how saying my brother must you stay how

[93:55]sane tomorrow the children will cry animals you saying tomorrow the children

[94:03]will be terrified and no longer play but i will remain when

[94:11]your soul soars away hussein she spoke to the name she said

[94:20]with every beat of her heart with every speck of her might

[94:25]all night stay dark don't become great all night remain don't allow

[94:37]the morning light all night length in [Music] it is my trial

[95:00]all night is my trials but there's another hypothetical discussion going on

[95:10]between zainab and the night and she's telling the night of someone

[95:13]else other than hussain who's that person then walked over then zainab

[95:29]walked over the bus and sat by his side [Music] and for

[95:38]long she cried she cried [Music] abbas you swore to be my

[95:47]guide you swore to guide my side of us tomorrow the children

[96:00]will cry and no longer play and i will remain when your

[96:07]soul soars away abbas she spoke to the night with every bit

[96:20]of her heart and every speck of her might all night stay

[96:24]dark don't become bright all night remain don't allow the morning light

[96:38][Music] [Music] [Music] i want to share another tragedy that breaks the

[97:08]heart of said fatima alaihissalam in the heart of sahib zaman this

[97:14]is the treasury of abdullah and this happened the next day during

[97:19]the battle after all of the companions were killed imam hussain when

[97:26]he was in kerbala he had a six-month-old baby with him his

[97:32]name was abdullah that day after all the companions had been killed

[97:37]and the family members had been killed imam hussain stands alone in

[97:45]that plane and he says [Music] victor who will support us is

[98:07]there no one who will help us no one answers his call

[98:16]it just echoes imam hussain alaihissalam realizes it's time for him to

[98:21]enter the battlefield [Music] he came to bid farewell to his daughters

[98:26]and sisters then he went outside and before mounting his horse he

[98:36]stops he calls his sister zainab yeah saying up there's one more

[98:41]person i want to bid farewell [Music] i want to embrace him

[98:59]one last time saying how saying god before [Music] i long to

[99:22]hold my baby let me feel his calming touch let me see

[99:35]his lips [Music] chapter how was the baby for the past two

[99:50]days his mother had had no water and barely any food so

[99:56]he was extremely dehydrated and malnutritioned in addition they've been stranded in

[100:03]a scorching desert with little protection from heat and sun the baby

[100:07]was unconscious from these severe conditions he's holding him in his arms

[100:17]as he's holding him the enemies see the scene so some of

[100:24]these soldiers on omar evans side in yazid's army a dispute breaks

[100:30]out some of the soldiers say hey give this baby water others

[100:33]say do not show mercy to anyone from that household and the

[100:40]argument grows and the argument so he looks to his best archer

[100:46]he says [Applause] when he was questioned later he says i took

[101:06]out a tri-bladed arrow an arrow that has three bladed edges on

[101:12]it this is an arrow that will cause a great a great

[101:18]lesion in the flesh he says i looked at the baby and

[101:22]i saw his neck is uncovered and it's as if it was

[101:29]shining as if it was a shining target for me so i

[101:35]ate my arrow and i shot the baby in the throat and

[101:48]the heat from the arrow he awakened in agony he fluttered like

[101:56]a portrait of in the arms and he grabbed out his father

[102:05]and he bled into his father's hands and quickly passed away rahim

[102:13]allah [Music] is [Applause] [Music] but he's patient what does he do

[102:33]what does a father do he fills his head with the blood

[102:40]gushing from up the last throw and he throws the blood towards

[102:47]the sky and he says what has befallen me is easier as

[103:04]it's in the eyes of allah there's a narration from al-imam where

[103:13]he says that when the imam threw the blood towards the sky

[103:17]not a single drop returned back to earth and the there is

[103:31]someone who will feed abdullah in the heavens [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

[103:57][Music] [Applause] [Music] babies cry laugh and play but hussain a gentle

[104:28]face burnt by the sun [Music] lipstick and no one runs and

[104:40]as hossein held him near and close an arrow came swift with

[104:53]wall [Music] into his throat and blood began to flow [Music] patient

[105:11]shed tear after this my baby butchered in my arms here yeah
