[0:11]ald Muhammad all praise belongs to Allah subhana ta'ala and I begin

[1:17]in his blessed name for giving us this opportunity to understand the

[1:24]enormous gift he has given us on this transient Earth and why

[1:27]we will slip and disobey him numerous times because this world is

[1:33]very distracting and our nature is constantly pulling us in directions that

[1:41]makes it very difficult for us to remain upright as a result

[1:48]you know that um to maintain Purity and uprightness requires constant reflection

[1:55]and meditation and constant struggle you wonder why Allah has put five

[2:01]daily prayers for us when Allah says when Allah is telling us

[2:09]to maintain prayers and you will notice that Allah has spread the

[2:12]prayers in three periods as you know in Sur tah Allah mentions

[2:17]three periods of prayers uh prayer before sunrise prayer before Sunset and

[2:25]prayer after sunset in the evening and Allah says additional prayer for

[2:30]uh what we call uh extr rogatory prayers but three periods of

[2:38]prayers mentioned in the Quran but there are five daily prayers and

[2:42]Allah has put them very strategically that the first thing you do

[2:47]you know when you wake up in the morning is Salah Before

[2:51]Sunrise or even if you sleep a little later that's the first

[2:54]thing you should do and then of course in the middle of

[2:59]the day when you're very busy with business you're busy with transactions

[3:04]with worldly matters Allah brings prayer again within us and it commands

[3:09]us to maintain it in the afternoon the and then in the

[3:13]evening when the sun is set again Allah has put prayers and

[3:19]we wonder why has Allah put these three periods of prayers in

[3:22]our daily life for men especially it's constant that we have to

[3:29]pray you know from as early as we can we don't have

[3:32]to wait to become B we don't have to wait to turn

[3:36]134 to start prayers prayers should be starting at at the earliest

[3:39]possible age even four five year olds should start learning to pray

[3:45]because this life has no meaning otherwise what do you do on

[3:51]this Earth think about it you look around and I've seen in

[3:53]my life young children today there are parents they adults who have

[3:57]brought their children to me the same agees when they were when

[4:03]I met them and you're looking and said that was just a

[4:05]blink that was only three decades two decades within three decades that

[4:13]young child who was running around confused in life is a parent

[4:17]and has children and he's looking at you worried about the future

[4:22]of his or her children and you said look how fleeting this

[4:27]world is when I see children today I look at them and

[4:29]say you he it how old are you say I'm 10 years

[4:32]old I said I will blink and he will be 30 and

[4:35]we will blink and that person will be 60 if you look

[4:40]at nature of life if you live to be 90 which most

[4:44]people don't live to that age the average age at least in

[4:48]the western world is 70 90 30 years you were busy sleeping

[4:54]30 years you were working earning money you only had 30 years

[5:00]of yourself and if I ask you to take the 30 years

[5:01]and tell me what was the most important moment of your 30

[5:07]years of personal time you'd probably make 10 hours of a movie

[5:10]20 hours of a movie you can't do more this world is

[5:16]so short it's fleeting Allah says so when Allah has put prayers

[5:26]we might say oh why is Allah hindering me why is Allah

[5:28]preventing me from having fun Allah did not hinder us from having

[5:34]fun Allah says who has made Haram for you the good things

[5:42]on this Earth this Earth is beautiful there are so many magnificent

[5:47]things today I was walking and I felt this Cool Breeze when

[5:52]I walked out I said how blessed I am to be experiencing

[5:59]this cool Breeze that gives me Comfort and that I'm able to

[6:04]walk to my car and just press a pedal and move at

[6:10]high speed and get somewhere and move even faster just by getting

[6:13]into a vessel that goes in the air Allah says all of

[6:15]these are beautiful things when you look at the human race when

[6:20]we look at each other the human race is a beautiful race

[6:25]when you look at the human being there's nobody who is ugly

[6:29]I don't care if you're thousand years old you're not ugly nobody's

[6:37]ugly ugly is in action it's not in physical state there's no

[6:41]ugliness in look even El is not ugly as a creation he's

[6:47]a beautiful creation he's ugly in his actions so then his physical

[6:52]state looks ugly it's like when you look at yaid if you

[6:55]imagine looking at yazid in the time when he was in his

[7:01]Court drunk and playing with the face with the Blessed head of

[7:06]Imam Hussein he looked ugly not because he's physically ugly his actions

[7:12]were ugly it was Despicable it's something you don't want to look

[7:17]at it's like Saddam Saddam was ugly in his actions when you

[7:23]looked at him he looked horrible because of his actions but physically

[7:27]it's a creation of Allah and Allah says I create everything beautiful

[7:36]but Allah says look around how beautiful this world is but know

[7:41]that it is so quick that by the time you've saved your

[7:46]money and built your little Empire on this bridge it's time for

[7:53]you to leave and I have to worry about bequeathing a will

[7:57]and letting people know what going to do look all these projects

[8:04]that I'm involved in including wise Academy the camp and everything else

[8:09]that I'm involved in is a transient temporary position say Hassan the

[8:15]the Imam of this institution is doing a fantastic job in this

[8:20]community right amazing but it's time stamped say Muhammad B may Allah

[8:30]bless them all timestamped you can't stay here forever the projects we

[8:34]do we have to hand it over you have to leave there's

[8:37]nothing you can do what are you going to hold on to

[8:42]it impossible prophets and imams had to leave this world even Prophet

[8:46]new who preached for 950 years okay think about it almost 10

[8:54]times 15 times longer than most average people will live when he

[9:00]was asked how long have you lived he said like moving from

[9:03]the Sun into the shade that's how quick this life was you

[9:07]you and I can live 9,000 Years it'll feel like nothing so

[9:13]when Allah brings Salah into my life Allah is giving me meaning

[9:16]that this life may be short but what you are doing is

[9:21]forever and the fact that you are grateful and appreciating and reminding

[9:27]yourself of the real purpose of life which is not to acquire

[9:34]wealth so that you should pontificate and feel like you're a great

[9:49]person the wealth of this world and the beauty of this world

[9:54]when it comes to children and the money and the family is

[9:57]just for this world D but it is still Zena it is

[10:05]still beautiful but it's temporary and it's ironic when I look at

[10:09]people in the world today who lie who cheat who fight who

[10:17]find false they will commit the most evil deeds in order to

[10:21]keep this temporary thing in their hand for a few minutes they

[10:25]say the one who made mua powerful it was Amarin ass you

[10:32]know amarb ass was a very big Troublemaker he's one of the

[10:35]companions sahaba Amar bin the prophet said if when you see Amar

[10:44]bin ass sitting with muaah separate them so Abbas who was a

[10:50]great companion of the Prophet was walking and he saw sitting with

[10:56]muaah he came and sat between them but they were very close

[10:58]to each other but he pushed them and he sat between them

[11:01]so looks at him and Amar and says you had no space

[11:05]but here he said the prophet told me when the two if

[11:09]you sit together I should sit between you cuz trouble is going

[11:13]to start Amar binas was the engineer of the battle of siin

[11:18]he was behind the Battle of siine with mua he amassed so

[11:23]much wealth that it's almost like you know the modern day billionaires

[11:28]that's how much he had thousand over thousand red camels by the

[11:36]time am is breathing his last he had no money mua took

[11:43]everything back Allah says look look at how foolish and stupid this

[11:46]person is that for a short period of time he committed the

[11:49]most evil crime in order for him to feel good to live

[11:53]in a nice fancy house zad the governor of kufa who was

[12:04]also the governor of Basra it was very unusual to have one

[12:08]Governor governing two cities he was already the governor of Basra when

[12:13]Imam Hussein alisam is going towards kufa there was a Christian who

[12:17]was an advisor to muawiya who remained as an advisor to yazid

[12:23]who told him that bring Marana was known as I zad bring

[12:33]him and make him the leader of kufa because the Shia of

[12:37]Ali have a strong foothold in kufa and no one is more

[12:45]treacherous than IBN zad and muawiya used to consider him like his

[12:48]brother look at how evil these people are filthy I'm mentioning this

[12:56]because the purpose of this conversation is not to poke at them

[12:59]but to take lessons that we should never follow such people in

[13:03]action when you and I lie we cheat we find faults we're

[13:10]material we're self-centered egotistic narcissistic we're like moving towards the umay like

[13:19]mua and yazid when you are I I are humble giving forgiving

[13:26]caring sharing abstinent submissive thoughtful of God meaning moving towards high levels

[13:35]of tawa we're moving towards and his muham muhamad nown zad was

[13:51]very ambitious you know when you go to the graves you you

[13:54]scratch your head like you fool what did you do you Fo

[14:00]fool but you know shaitan fooled them like he's fooling us we

[14:05]fight the other day a brother came to me and said you

[14:09]know I rented my house I went back to my country I

[14:12]came back and the man who was renting my house took my

[14:14]house did a quick claim deed you know changed the title of

[14:18]the house and stole the house he's fighting him in court now

[14:25]and the guy just shrugs his shoulder like there's no day of

[14:28]judgment there is no God I'm a survivor in this jungle and

[14:33]I have my hand on your property I'm going to take it

[14:35]this is what mua used to do yazid used to do this

[14:40]to me when you talk about Sunni Shia we're not here to

[14:46]promote Shia and poke a finger at the Sunni we're all Muslims

[14:50]all the five M were all Muslims anybody who says otherwise doesn't

[14:56]understand the Dynamics of the dean of Allah what we have to

[15:04]do even within the the school of B is to encourage each

[15:07]other to get closer to Allah no one can say oh you

[15:11]know what I'm a follower of B I'm right I'm secured I

[15:15]don't have to do anything I don't have to study I don't

[15:17]have to pray I don't have to give charity I don't have

[15:21]to struggle in life because I'm already there can anybody say that's

[15:29]acceptable of course not I don't care if you're a prophet prophets

[15:32]of Allah struggled all the time soan used to put his hand

[15:36]behind his head in his Palace and command his soldiers not to

[15:41]enter the room for the entire night because he would do and

[15:45]he would doar constantly to Allah San successful as he was powerful

[15:53]as he was his thck in his time was Baran the messenger

[15:57]of Allah was so much in vicker that one of his wives

[16:02]took his mattress and doubled it you know he had a thin

[16:06]very thin mattress he used to sleep on very thin it had

[16:11]leaves in it she doubled it the prophet when he saw it

[16:14]he said why did you do this so that you have more

[16:18]Comfort he said quickly put it back the way it was lest

[16:20]I miss my nightly prayers my my tud lest I I miss

[16:30]that because this may give me Comfort so Allah says who made

[16:34]the beauty of this world Haram but be careful because Shan is

[16:38]going to fool you and then greed is going to overtake you

[16:42]and then Allah tells us abundance has diverted you till you come

[16:50]to the graves then you will know then you will know so

[16:59]our life on this Earth is to look at Role Models when

[17:02]we look at the five schools of thought when I discuss this

[17:07]discussion with my brothers in Islam from other schools of thought I

[17:10]said to them it's not about my school of thought being right

[17:13]versus yours it's about the people you look up to that were

[17:19]the enemies of God I have a problem with that how can

[17:23]you extol and speak nicely of the very people who killed the

[17:29]family of the Prophet explain to me please by what standard by

[17:32]which verse in the Quran can you present an argument to say

[17:36]that we must be conciliatory and forgiving to the ones who are

[17:41]the enemies of God then Allah should have forgiven El whereas Allah

[17:48]condemned him for one act people say you know some of these

[17:51]sahaba that you appointing a finger they were good they did good

[17:56]things I smile I said of course even El doesn't always lie

[18:04]he speaks the truth he says this sentence is correct there's no

[18:15]lie in it it's arrogant it's evil but it's true so when

[18:22]someone says well they did good what does that mean so El

[18:29]did more good than all these companions El worshiped Allah for thousands

[18:34]of years in fact his elevation came as a result of his

[18:40]and he was among the Mala so then why is Allah condemning

[18:47]him for one act because it negates all the preceding Ones based

[18:50]on what he did when he was commanded for he rejected Allah

[18:54]Allah says and is so merciful he asking El yeah oh El

[19:03]What stopped you from doing my command he said I'm made of

[19:10]fire this one is made of clay Allah says get out of

[19:13]my domain you are a racist you are arrogant look we as

[19:23]human beings are we not racist are we not arrogant we look

[19:26]down on people we talk about worshiping Allah but we look down

[19:32]on people when people are not of our culture we look at

[19:34]them in a in a weird way sometimes we humans do that

[19:39]all the time because we feel more comfortable with our own kinds

[19:41]Allah says take a lesson from El he's your arch enemy so

[19:47]why is Allah keep telling me about he is your AR El

[20:01]is not human he's made of a different substance why is Allah

[20:06]warning me about him Allah says even a different creature made of

[20:12]a different substance affects you so how can you take leaders Who

[20:16]attack the family of the Prophet as good this is the argument

[20:21]we're holding here what differentiates the five schools is exactly this obedience

[20:29]to Allah and the reject of the enemies of Allah to have

[20:36]anything to do with the way we move forward this is a

[20:38]standard in the Quran and I sit on this Pulpit to be

[20:43]challenged for I would love to hear somebody give me a reason

[20:46]you know people go up barking up the wrong tree and they're

[20:52]begging holding on to strings to validate the invalid people who took

[20:56]power who caused destruction in society Society until today you look at

[21:01]Gaza you look at that entire Middle East and see the people

[21:08]who are leading it they all hold similar principles as the umad

[21:13]similar you want to see history repeats itself it recycles it's constant

[21:19]when im Ali Alam was fighting muaah who was causing trouble the

[21:25]kar who are the karage they came as a result of mua's

[21:32]machinery and Confused these people that were fighting with Imam Ali because

[21:36]they were jahil anyway they were Ultra religious outwardly looked very prayerful

[21:42]with you know buckled knees and all the time in pray but

[21:46]they would rape women kill people today we have the same they

[21:51]hold guns and say allahar and behead people and they're funded at

[21:54]that time who was funding the byzantin empire was behind it har

[21:59]leus was behind it feeding to dis to break up the Muslim

[22:05]umah divide and conquer the British Empire the modernday gold medal holders

[22:11]of the most vicious devil community on Earth with two legs they

[22:18]the Europeans have created so much fitna in the world the policies

[22:22]have not changed they've not changed Imam Ali Alam says he says

[22:29]mua keep keeps me busy with the so I don't remove him

[22:34]from his position but why is Mu doing this mua says the

[22:38]protocol of life is leadership and I'm going to lead people towards

[22:43]ignominy misdeeds you know how many times he tried to take the

[22:50]pulpit of the messenger of Allah from Medina and move it to

[22:51]Damascus and each time he tried he failed why the pulpit why

[22:57]the pulpit because people remembered the prophet too much because of the

[23:02]pulpit the pulpit was where they got hia the messenger sat on

[23:08]the pulpit there was a tree and people used to hug the

[23:15]tree because the messenger leaned on it people loved the messenger so

[23:20]much that they remembered all the connections of the messenger but Imam

[23:26]Z abidin as you notice he asks yazid right give me the

[23:35]permission to climb up these pieces of wood he didn't call it

[23:38]member because lies were being spoken on it the umad were cursing

[23:45]they were Liars they were misinforming misquoting giving as we say giving

[23:55]credit to the enemies of Allah there's a Hadith that states states

[23:59]that the Throne of Allah shakes when the enemy of God is

[24:04]praised the Throne of Allah metaphor shakes meaning the the anger of

[24:14]Allah is when people who don't deserve who are evil enemies of

[24:18]God are praised and at that time all the enemies of Allah

[24:24]were being prais and it trickled down to today you read the

[24:29]books of Hadith you knew this one like khed bin wed he

[24:34]was an evil man today revered with such reverence khed bin W

[24:42]was an enemy of God but today oh Haron Rashid go to

[24:50]school and study his life the abas Empire like he was a

[24:53]great kff he did great things he was a monster but the

[25:00]society wants to cook up now you might say why is this

[25:04]important well when you start looking up to people like that you

[25:08]start to become like them or you allow what they promoted to

[25:14]become the law so when the land of Palestine was stolen the

[25:23]neighbors were all like the umay and they accepted it and it

[25:30]has led to this treachery of thousands and thousands of people tens

[25:35]and hundreds of thousands and millions displaced and nobody bats an eye

[25:42]like really okay so you go to Cambodia a million people were

[25:52]killed the Napal bombs were dropped in Vietnam and millions of people

[25:57]were killed bombs we just shrug our shoulders who is behind it

[26:01]people with the same resonance as the bani umaya and Allah says

[26:09]it's okay I let them and I'll quote a verse in that

[26:11]Zam quotes in Al Imran 178 when she speaks to yazid and

[26:18]I'll quote it inshallah Muhammad Muhammad I zad was the governor of

[26:28]Two Cities he was building a white Palace in Bas it was

[26:32]a palace that was all marble white Imam Hussein tells him that

[26:39]you will not live in it for one night Subhan Allah as

[26:45]soon as carala took place and yazid started to expose his crimes

[26:51]thinking that people will now submit to him showing how powerful he

[26:55]was but people were not foolish the Muslim umah in general knew

[27:03]the position of Imam Hussein alisam it wasn't a secret everybody knew

[27:08]except the people of Syria who were kept in the dark the

[27:11]majority of the people in Arabia knew the position of the and

[27:18]when they started seeing them in public they started realizing wait a

[27:22]minute there's something seriously wrong and the uprising started and soon thereafter

[27:28]the Omas were being chased in different directions people like MTAR saki

[27:33]who later on after he was released from prison by yazid yazid

[27:37]imprisoned him as you known zad imprisoned him in kufa when he

[27:41]was released he enacted a movement he was one of the tabin

[27:47]there were three four groups of tabin that came and started attacking

[27:50]the very people who killed Imam Hussein IAD soon after was killed

[27:59]Omar IB s was killed Shimmer was killed Huli was killed they

[28:03]were all killed soon thereafter within a short time IBN zad hid

[28:07]himself under the belly of a camel while escaping to Damascus this

[28:13]is the same man who used to sit on the pulpit talking

[28:15]like he was the god on Earth where he looks at IM

[28:20]Zid in Chains and says what is your name Imam says my

[28:27]name is Ali he said didn't God kill Ali said didn't God

[28:33]kill Ali IM Hussein IM Z looks at him he says God

[28:36]didn't kill him you did he said you're intelligent you're not a

[28:43]child because IM Z abidin looked very young so they thought he's

[28:50]part of that Caravan of kids he said kill him Zam jumps

[28:53]and holds him and said if you're going to kill him you

[28:57]will have to kill me first now in that region as evil

[29:02]as these people were they had some level of culture that to

[29:06]kill a woman in public was not proper so Zam looks atad

[29:13]and said if you're going to touch him you have to hit

[29:15]me first and the people in the court of kufa understood who

[29:21]Zab Alam was she was a highly revered individual who was the

[29:26]daughter of Amir who was their Khalifa of the time so imn

[29:31]zad backs off but I want to make a quick Point here

[29:34]why did imn zad say didn't God kill Ali one of the

[29:40]machineries of the omad that is still lingering among us today is

[29:45]the principle of predestination and they concocted a very interesting idea to

[29:54]validate themselves as legitimate meaning there are argument is that God knows

[30:01]the future he has decreed everything and therefore whatever is happening now

[30:07]is by the will of Allah so what they're doing is taking

[30:12]the good people like the prophets and the imams and lowering them

[30:21]and taking evil people like yazid Abu sufyan muaah hnad Omar and

[30:27]elevating them to equalize them with the Prophet this is a deadly

[30:32]game for if Allah didn't will it then we would argue that

[30:37]Fon wasn't a bad man because God willed him to be Fon

[30:42]El Is Not a Bad Creation for Allah willed El to do

[30:45]what he's doing then what of the day of judgment why bother

[30:49]with that if Allah is the one writing this entire play and

[30:53]everybody's just an actor doing the work of God what purpose is

[30:58]the day of judgment and why is it that we take credit

[31:04]for that Subhan Allah but this is what the umad concocted in

[31:07]time and it continues to reverberate in the other schools of thought

[31:11]and within us within our school of thought be very careful people

[31:17]came and asked IM jaat what is it about and he said

[31:25]it's between the two B name between the two the comp compion

[31:30]asked IM jaf sadik explain he said God has predestined certain things

[31:35]where you have nothing to do with it where you cannot change

[31:40]like your birth date like your family like your birth on Earth

[31:47]the nature of Earth the physical qualities of Earth you can't change

[31:53]that then within you you have the power power to choose your

[32:00]own destiny that is where Free Will exist so the man said

[32:03]give me a further explanation so Imam said lift either foot of

[32:09]yours you have two legs lift one now it's easy you can

[32:16]easily lift one and stand on one IM IM jaf Sadam says

[32:22]to the man he says now lift the other foot without putting

[32:25]your first foot down and remain standing the man said I cannot

[32:31]he says the first one is your free will the second one

[32:36]is the decree of Allah meaning there is and but it's mixed

[32:39]between the two there is no total Free Will and there is

[32:44]no total predestination it's the mixture of two and understand that God

[32:49]will not hold you liable for anything you don't have a choice

[32:56]on we don't put a burden on you except that which you

[33:01]can handle meaning if your capacity is low then God on Judgment

[33:04]Day will expect that lowess if your capacity is high and you're

[33:10]very intelligent and very rich and very powerful then God will expect

[33:15]much more from you on Judgment Day this is the justice of

[33:18]Allah subhana wa taala it's beautiful it's elegant so Muhammad Muhammad there's

[33:30]much for me to speak tonight the night of AR as you

[33:33]know is a few nights from now but it's good for you

[33:39]and I to remember that in the commemoration of arim that we

[33:45]have to reflect on what is the purpose and function of why

[33:50]we are following what we're following Allah subhana tala has placed 124,000

[33:55]prophets and 12 imams by his will people might say we've come

[34:05]up with something like this no all rols had 12 imams Isa

[34:08]had 12 imams Musa had 12 imams all rols had 12 imams

[34:15]this is in alfi where the messenger is speaking to Salman and

[34:19]says Salman did you know that all the prophets had 12 imams

[34:24]he said only you and Allah know then the prophet looks at

[34:29]Sal and says Salman who are my 12 he says only you

[34:31]and Allah know so then the prophet reveals to him all the

[34:37]names and tells them these are the names now you might say

[34:39]that well this is a Shia Hadith something that's made of Shia

[34:45]no go study even theah Hadith and study the Kings all the

[34:48]khalifas who came in theay and the abas Empire they all knew

[34:54]of these names because they used to chase them it was known

[35:00]all the usurpers of the position of Khalifa The usurpers all of

[35:05]them knew the names of our imams they knew them they were

[35:11]looking for them they imprisoned them IM ja Alim was in prison

[35:14]for decades why was he in prison because they knew he's the

[35:21]Imam Imam when M calls him to mhad when he calls him

[35:23]to Iran he knew this is wasn't a secret so how did

[35:29]that enemy of God know even when im Ali's was taken Abu

[35:33]sufyan comes to IM Ali and says they've taken youra he's the

[35:38]enemy of God he knew he knew who's the Khalifa he go

[35:43]to go to IM aliam says you know they've taken your KFA

[35:47]the reasona is so important brothers and sisters it's its leadership the

[35:51]reason the world is in chaos today is because we have terrible

[35:55]leaders Netanyahu is a Terri terrible leader he's an evil leader so

[36:02]the world is going through chaos the Democratic National Convention just took

[36:08]place there was not a single mention of the genocide it's an

[36:11]evil institution within its construction not by the people but there is

[36:16]what we call special interest pressure on them that don't you dare

[36:19]speak about this there's a doctor in Ottawa who made a comment

[36:27]about Palestine who was doing his residence in arwa and he was

[36:30]removed from his residency this is the world we're living in today

[36:34]where you don't have the right to speak the truth and you

[36:39]dare say it they'll call you an anti-semite what an absurd statement

[36:43]a Semite is an Arab also but it's been hijacked foolishly and

[36:49]it's being used so maliciously because sh like umay like mua were

[36:55]masters of fabrication so I'm speaking from the heart that don't think

[37:04]things have changed inay's time and people like Abu loved IM Ali

[37:11]was a close companion of what did mua do to themi was

[37:19]arrested and killed in front of his family arrows were shot at

[37:27]him and his son watched it that's how mua did it what's

[37:30]the difference today you work for an institution you're not allowed to

[37:34]speak ill of certain countries because they're funding all the shaan's work

[37:38]you can't speak about them you'll be silenced this is the world

[37:43]we live in today has it changed my only hope is in

[37:50]prayer my hope is in my hope is in IM Hussein for

[37:52]when he stood in front of these tyrants and entered the belly

[37:58]of the Beast in Syria and Zab Alam speaks to this enemy

[38:02]my hope is there not only my hope people in Palestine today

[38:09]they say say samawi Alani was communicating with the brother from another

[38:15]school of thought he said you and I need to have a

[38:19]dialogue because you're from another school as you know I was in

[38:22]that other school too in the dialogue he sends him a letter

[38:24]says you know when can we meet he says don't worry I'm

[38:27]already a follower of L he said how did you become one

[38:32]he said I saw what's happening in Palestine and I understood your

[38:37]point and I became a follow of muham Muhammad they have fanfares

[38:48]and beating of the drums we're living in our nation where our

[38:52]tax dollars are stolen and bombs are dropping on innocent children and

[38:56]then they we talk about human rights this is why we're here

[39:03]we're commemorating AR for this reason if it doesn't translate to this

[39:07]then let's leave this ritual alone please cuz it makes no sense

[39:10]if you and I don't become better Muslims then let's not do

[39:16]this ritual and say shame on me keep doing the ritual of

[39:18]course but ask yourself if I'm following this ritual which is so

[39:21]important every single day I need to become better and I have

[39:27]hope as bad as this world is is I have hope because

[39:31]like Z Alam her strength I want you to imagine for second

[39:37]how powerful the enemy was looking down on these chosen people of

[39:42]God did they feel broken and defeated no what's happening today with

[39:46]the genocide taking place and all this corruption on Earth Allah says

[39:54]look at me and have hope don't lose hope don't lose hope

[40:08]Allah is telling us it's okay it's short term don't be fooled

[40:15]by this stuff it's transient look at the presidents who came I

[40:19]was alive when I me they were Al I was alive when

[40:25]they were alive they're dead today they're buried in Washington they used

[40:30]to walk around like Gods George H bush Gods on Earth Saddam

[40:39]found in a hole ready to negotiate dead Allah says go don't

[40:49]be fooled by their power so what if you get killed don't

[41:08]say those who die in the way of Allah are dead no

[41:12]they're alive you just can't see them this is the mercy of

[41:15]Allah the value is not this world this world is very valuable

[41:22]for the next world it's very valuable let's not do wrong Allah

[41:34]says you are the best you promote good you forbid evil you

[41:40]believe in Allah so tonight I would just want to focus this

[41:43]point very importantly that no matter what you and I build on

[41:49]this Earth no matter how great our projects are Allah will question

[41:52]us on Judgment Day what was it for what was it for

[42:03]for popularity so people should Pat you on the back and say

[42:07]wow you're amazing or did you do it for me did you

[42:11]do it for me the verse I started Allah says who are

[42:15]they they do like like so I want to conclude on this

[42:27]night of that they were my hope They Are My Hope and

[42:29]that hope will never change today if you look at the resistance

[42:34]of the forces of evil meaning the evil forces that are being

[42:39]resisted study it it is no secret that the most powerful group

[42:47]on earth that is amassing as we speak to resist the most

[42:51]evil system in the world are the lovers of B it's not

[42:57]a secret go ask all the secret Services who do you think

[43:03]what do you think but that group that's resisting has no terrorist

[43:08]idea no desire to kill innocent lives they just simply want to

[43:13]resist evil when I watch the Holocaust and I look at in

[43:17]the Holocaust the people who stood up against the Germans and they

[43:22]were killing innocent people my forces were with them I said you're

[43:26]the resistance I'm with you anywhere in the world people who resist

[43:32]evil should be supported Jews Christians atheists agnostics Hindus it doesn't matter

[43:41]because Allah loves people who rise because is a command otherwise there

[43:59]muham Muhammad within this few minutes I have I want to discuss

[44:10]the presentation of Zab Alam because I promised you and I just

[44:14]want to leave a quick message also that please we are a

[44:19]blessed Community we're a beautiful Community Yesterday by the way I I

[44:23]they showed me the cafe here put a smile on my face

[44:28]for the first time an Islamic Center that's nurturing people to sit

[44:33]and talk that's amazing usually you go there no couches to sit

[44:37]you have to when I lecture people have questions let's go out

[44:40]to a cafe and sit down we can talk cuz the centers

[44:46]are closing down you know the theab SAA the the the companions

[44:49]of the Prophet used to sit next to the pulpit of the

[44:55]Prophet all night discussing matters of God and life it's so wonderful

[44:59]when you come and you're thinking this new generation This brilliant idea

[45:04]of putting together something that's cozy that's it's a fat everywhere everybody's

[45:09]making money here in town because everybody wants this why not do

[45:14]it in the center itself it's brilliant and I'm just saying that

[45:20]this is wonderful seeing this this Evolution within our community where the

[45:23]generations are beginning to realize that there are things we need to

[45:28]do to Foster greater understanding and relationship for research has shown that

[45:32]the best way to solve mental problems depression confusion apathy is to

[45:43]have a dialogue across a table on a coffee table or on

[45:47]a dining table and to sit and discuss and have what would

[45:51]you call exchange of ideas it's the most cathartic experience you'll ever

[45:56]have today we're in the electronic world children are Behind These screens

[45:59]they're developing bipolarity the best is when you sit and you shake

[46:04]hands and you look at somebody and feel the vibe of that

[46:07]person this is hope it's beautiful let's do it more inshallah and

[46:11]inshallah a lot better things will happen but my advice to the

[46:15]community is stop bickering and finding faults and being jealous of each

[46:25]other and stop gossiping it's incredible how much false information is Meed

[46:31]out and people shoot from the hip not realizing that all of

[46:34]this is going to be shown on the day of judgment Allah

[46:38]says recite what has been written on your chest all this that

[46:43]you did it's a quick world and if we're troublemakers on this

[46:48]Earth soon malul will take us and we will regret and we

[46:53]will say oh my God I had such a beautiful opportunity to

[47:00]do good and I created trouble you know who creates trouble people

[47:02]who have no faith in Allah who don't believe in the mercy

[47:05]of Allah they don't believe in the Forgiveness of Allah they think

[47:12]the transient world is their security mu believed that yazid said to

[47:17]IM there was no Revelation look at what Allah says in the

[47:20]Quran in the angels are asking this ya mua and his likes

[47:27]didn't a Warner come to you elegant set of verses that strikes

[47:51]the heart of the real world today when the angels are asking

[47:56]didn't the Warner come to you why you you not told to

[47:59]be good and to avoid evil he said yes but when we

[48:01]when they came we call them liars and we said there's no

[48:05]Revelation there was no Revelation they said oh if only we would

[48:11]have listened if only we listened and paid attention we would not

[48:19]be the companions of this hell Allah says they will recognize it

[48:25]so I know 100% yazid is going to say that mua is

[48:29]going to say that let's conclude when yaid looks at Z and

[48:35]history shows the two of them spoke as I mentioned yesterday and

[48:41]both were bold and Intrepid in the animals of history after the

[48:45]massacre you would think you'd be humbled scared begging for your life

[48:51]not these people Allah says men who don't bargain for any price

[49:19]here men and women meaning women also the ones who are Servants

[49:24]of Allah they don't bargain they don't trade IM Hussein no no

[49:34]none this is what this is what irked yazid he couldn't get

[49:41]Imam Hussein to cred give him credibility in his false seating of

[49:49]the who are they they maintain prayers they give charity they are

[49:57]well aware of the day of judgment when you will people will

[50:03]be held liable Imam Hussein alisam in the middle of the battle

[50:07]loses they say 30 to 50% of his soldiers at the prayer

[50:10]time he only had 72 Warriors and he lost almost half of

[50:16]them in the time of Salah but he didn't care because he

[50:21]said if we're not for this on this battlefield then why are

[50:24]we fighting this enemy if you look in the anals of History

[50:29]history massacres have taken place in history massacres people have been massacred

[50:33]cities people has taken place at the Helm of the highest moral

[50:41]conduct as in carala that's the reason why we say that the

[50:45]shahada of carala is so Supreme it cannot be replaced that's why

[50:52]the prophet said Hussein Hussein was saying is from me for IM

[51:01]if not for them to protect the dean you and I would

[51:07]not be sitting here today there would have been no Islam the

[51:10]way Islam was intended by Allah you you and I would have

[51:15]had a carcass of a religion like other religions they have broken

[51:18]scriptures no history they don't know where they're coming from where they're

[51:22]going cooking stories up as they go and no what we call

[51:27]uh civility when it comes to thought but anyway yazid says you

[51:34]know what do you think now that I killed your brother I

[51:41]killed your family Zam looks at him and said you have pulled

[51:44]your skin off you have pulled your flesh off you have pulled

[51:49]your eyes off I'm paraphrasing very quickly here because no time she

[51:56]says to yazid you have destroyed yourself he's asking I destroyed you

[52:00]she looks at him says no no no you destroyed you you

[52:03]destroyed yourself for we are satisfied with what God has given us

[52:09]Imam Hussein Alam when he's holding the little child Abdullah known as

[52:13]Ali he comes and says we're Satisfied by your decree my Lord

[52:20]and we submit by your command Imam Hussein says that Zab looks

[52:25]at him and says we're satisfied God has chosen us I see

[52:34]nothing but Beauty yazid was stunned the people of the Court were

[52:39]stunned even their skin turned pale they couldn't believe that after all

[52:46]this who are these people that after doing all this instead of

[52:50]them being on their knees and begging for their lives they are

[52:53]fighting back with such Valor that pointing their fingers back at the

[53:01]enemy who are they so there's not time to speak about that

[53:04]but Zam recites this Subhan Allah she recites this verse to yazid

[53:23]she said let not those who disbelieve think that when we have

[53:29]given them respite and given them some power that it is better

[53:33]for their souls we grant them respite only that they may add

[53:40]to their sins meaning Allah is Zab is telling him you are

[53:43]only sitting on this pulpit and God is allowing you so that

[53:48]you have more sins and that on Judgment day you will pay

[53:50]a hefty price for this so don't be fooled in Allah say

[53:56]says don't let your eyes bother you with the enemies of God

[54:00]looking powerful and rich don't be fooled by them I am giving

[54:08]them a chance and soon they will return to me and they

[54:10]will be so regretful that they will be punished here Z Alam

[54:15]is telling him he says we grant them respite only that they

[54:18]may add to their sins and they shall have a disgraceful chastisement

[54:21]meaning you will be punished your father will be punished your father

[54:27]was in evil man your grandfather was an evil man your mother

[54:32]ate the liver of Hamza you are the son of a liver

[54:40]eating woman zanab is exposing something incredible now I want you to

[54:45]understand that from our pulpits it sounds okay but I want the

[54:47]world to hear this that these were the evil people who took

[54:54]control in the umbrella of Islam and today the world is in

[54:57]chaos you and I will continue to raise our banners and our

[55:01]flags forever because that's the only thing that will save us on

[55:08]Judgment Day for Allah will ask us on judgment day did you

[55:11]raise the flag of Justice did you speak against the evildoers maintain

[55:27]Justice even if it comes against you Allah says do it by

[55:37]command it is closer to piety I end with the sermon of

[55:41]IM Z as you know IM Z asks allow me to climb

[55:51]up these pieces of wood by the way before I go there

[55:54]Zab Alam ends with a Dua it's a beautiful Dua that she

[55:58]recites and I think it's it's pertinent to share it she says

[56:05]um I think she ends with um basically saying to Allah I'm

[56:12]not going to read it it's long says alhamdulillah oh Allah thank

[56:16]you for choosing us with this Mission she's in in front of

[56:20]everybody she's praying to Allah thanking Allah for the opportunity to be

[56:24]sacrificed and as you know she gave two of her sons and

[56:29]then she begs for that all the enemies listen to this Imam

[56:34]Zen says the same thing but now what Imam does is when

[56:39]he climbs up the pulpit he said Allah has chosen us and

[56:41]given us qualities six qualities that nobody has been given he says

[56:47]Allah has given us six things which no one else has special

[56:50]wisdom patience pay attention please because these are the things you and

[56:57]I must work for patience wisdom patience dignity power of speech courage

[57:03]and respect he gave a special benefit of belonging to the family

[57:07]of the Prophet to us belongs Hamza and jaur Hamza you know

[57:13]Hamza uh the the uncle of the Prophet who was martyred in

[57:18]uh Jaffer titled jaff okay he was mared also in m to

[57:24]us belongs Assad the lion of Allah to us belongs the leaders

[57:26]of the youths of paradise say im Hass he says oh people

[57:34]this is now exactly why Imam Hussein went to carala the mission

[57:37]of the Imam is being exposed here and I need to say

[57:43]this in AR he says whoever recognize me knew me meaning we

[57:46]are the we are the we are the of Allah subhana T

[57:56]chosen by Allah and you people in this audience don't know who

[57:58]we are so we're going to tell you and we're going to

[58:02]leave it as something for you forever to remember he says that

[58:05]I will inform him of my honorable lineage if you don't know

[58:13]who I am I am the son of mecah and Mina I

[58:16]am the son of zamzam and Safa meaning all these iconic Imam

[58:20]says I the son of them I'm the son of the one

[58:25]who carried the stone with the corners of his cloak I'm the

[58:27]son of the best of those who ever wore loin clothes and

[58:30]clothes I am the son of best who ever wore sandals and

[58:32]walked Barefoot I am the son of the one who did Ha

[58:36]and recited the Talia I'm the son of the best of whoever

[58:41]did ta and say I am the son of the one who

[58:44]was to travel from the meaning the prophet who traveled to the

[58:50]furthest mosque Imam zedin is telling the audience I am the son

[58:56]of that this sermon is long by the way so I'm just

[58:59]going to paraphrase it I am the son of the one who

[59:05]was carried in a miraculous way of the Prophet I'm the son

[59:11]who was to meaning the holy prophet he continues he says I

[59:15]am the son of Khadijah I am the son of um the

[59:20]entire in other words every piece IM Z talks about is the

[59:23]peace that you and I need to understand which is why there

[59:28]are five schools of thought there are five schools of thought because

[59:31]they forgot this part when you forget this part you get different

[59:36]M this is the P right here don't forget anyway as the

[59:42]Imam is speaking and now the Imam is is talking and as

[59:46]he's speaking the people are stunned because you know when im Ali

[59:49]Alam was struck in kufa the people of Syria said Al AB

[59:56]Talib prayed because they heard he got struck in the prayer they

[59:59]said he prayed that's how mua was evil he was telling his

[60:04]people that the family of the Prophet doesn't they don't pray that's

[60:08]how evil this man was the syrians were stunned that Imam Ali

[60:11]prayed I mean he was the ultimate person in prayer after the

[60:17]prophet anyway as Imam Z abidin is and he's now reaching a

[60:19]climax and the people are beginning to cry and the Imam is

[60:22]describing his greatness and people are realizing oh my God God how

[60:31]foolish we are yazid stops him strategically he tells the MU read

[60:38]the aan it wasn't prayer time it was not the prayer time

[60:40]he tells him start reading the aan so he says allahar IM

[60:45]remains silent and he looks down and says allahar again then said

[60:58]then he said he said be quiet wait so the muin is

[61:10]silent Imam Zin turns to yazid and said oh yazid this one

[61:14]that he just recited muham is he your grandfather or is he

[61:22]my grandfather and he looked at him and said if you claim

[61:25]he is yours this whole audience knows you're a liar but this

[61:30]whole audience knows that Muhammad is my grandfather and then the people

[61:39]start to cry then Imam looks at him and says yazid why

[61:42]did you kill the family of the Prophet when you are telling

[61:46]the to do the Shah why and the people of Syria began

[61:52]to cry that there was a Christian who was an ambassador as

[61:57]yazid was playing with the head of Imam Hussein he asks whose

[62:03]head is that and they said that's the son of the grandson

[62:05]of the prophet he begins to cry and he looks at yazid

[62:11]and said shame on you oh you who claims to be the

[62:16]Khalifa shame on you this is the ambassador and as he looks

[62:18]at him he says we Christians have the footprint of the donkey

[62:24]Jesus Road and we hold it as a sacred symbol of Jesus

[62:26]this is the grandson of the prophet and you beheaded him and

[62:31]you are playing with his head so notice in history as I

[62:34]mentioned yesterday Christians when they saw the head of Imam Hussein being

[62:38]paraded and Priests were becoming Muslims as the parade was going towards

[62:44]the Mish Christians non-muslims were becoming Muslims just by seeing the prisoners

[62:51]of karbala so tonight Zab Alam does something profound yazid realizes that

[63:03]his Revolution is not going to work so what does he do

[63:08]he releases them interesting what is the first thing Imam Z requests

[63:14]Subhan Allah you probably know he says give me all the things

[63:19]of my father his head his clothes everything that you took of

[63:28]my father return it and he gets it back most of it

[63:33]then he said give us a place in your Palace to recite

[63:38]a majus so look the majus of Imam Hussein which is the

[63:42]fastest growing institution in the world started in the belly of the

[63:45]beast of the very one who killed Imam Hussein that's incredible the

[63:51]first Magus of Imam Hussein and I say this to people of

[63:53]other faiths the first magus that was recited commemorating the shahada of

[63:58]carala the shahada of Imam Hussein alisam in carala was in the

[64:06]Palace of yazid and they say Zam would stand and welcome people

[64:10]and then she would welcome them and the majus started this is

[64:14]why the women were taken to karbala when they left interestingly Imam

[64:20]Z arrives on the 40th this is why ARB is so important

[64:25]to the grave of Imam Hussein and who was there jabir bin

[64:29]Abdullah alansari the oldest companion of the holy prophet the messenger told

[64:33]jabir jabir you will live to such an age that you will

[64:39]see the fifth Imam my grandson named Muhammad bakam give him a

[64:44]kiss on my behalf for you will see him Imam Muhammad Bak

[64:51]Alam was in carala he came in with his father IM Zid

[64:54]and IM Zid dug the grave and put the head back to

[65:00]all the Shas that he could take and he recited the Zara

[65:05]of AR on that day this is why we do it so

[65:07]importantly but they say that jab also did and prepared himself for

[65:15]that great event so it has become the Sunnah ofas through the

[65:18]command of the Prophet that you will go after my grandson has

[65:23]died and you will go and visit on that day and when

[65:25]you are there you will see my grandson come to you and

[65:30]they will meet there this is why this great event finally rabab

[65:33]the mother of R the mother of Al goes refuses to return

[65:42]from carala she pitches a tent in carala the family left and

[65:46]went back to Madina she said I am not going back she

[65:50]was one of the wise of Imam Hussein alisam and I beg

[65:55]us all men and women that we beg and pray that we

[65:57]have spouses like rabab who sacrificed her two young children and she'd

[66:03]never lost faith her little infant child and her four-year-old daughter both

[66:08]were sacrificed she never blinked her faith in God was so Supreme

[66:15]that she remained in carala pitched a tent and would call any

[66:18]Caravan that would come nearby she would wave at them welcome them

[66:21]then she would tell them the entire story of carala today the

[66:26]story of that is reaching millions and hundreds of millions of people
