[7:34]this statement.

[7:34]Welcome dear brothers and sisters to the sacred gathering of Arbahin.

[7:39]We are here to honor the legacy of Imam Hussein Alisam, his

[7:43]family and his companions and the sacrifice and the message of Kbala.

[7:47]Let our hearts beat with the love of Imam Hussein and his

[7:53]B.

[7:54]Every tear is pledged to uphold truth and justice.

[7:57]Kbalah is not is not just a history.

[8:02]It is a living message that echoes throughout centuries.

[8:05]May Allah accept your grief and your love of may this the

[8:11]spirit of guide us until we meet Im Sharif.

[8:17]Without further ado, please lent your heart to our dear respected scholarh

[8:24]and with a with a lecture after salah Muhammad Ali Muhammad.

[9:28]Allah.

[9:33]Wah.

[9:36]for me.

[10:18]Yeah.

[10:29]Carob.

[10:54]I'm going to recite a poem that's related to the tragedy of

[11:00]Arbin It's usually recited in Arabic majalis, but I'm going to translate

[11:03]it for you just so that you understand what this poem poetry

[11:06]is resembling.

[11:28]The poet says, "Arise, renew the grief on the 20th of Safar."

[11:34]The first grief was the grief of Muharam, the 10th of Muharam.

[11:39]He says to rise and to renew your grief on the 20th

[11:44]of Safar.

[11:45]Why?

[11:46]He says, "For on that day the heads of the prophet's family

[11:48]were returned to their graves.

[12:15]He says, "Oh visitor of that sacred place where their children were

[12:20]slaughtered, take from its soil as for your eyes.

[12:56]He says, "Alas, for the daughters of purity ity on the day

[13:03]they gazed upon the places where their loved ones were slain and

[13:07]upon their graves.

[13:09]They threw themselves as soon as they saw the graves when they

[13:12]came back on their camels and they rode there.

[13:14]As soon as they saw the graves, they threw themselves from a

[13:19]top the camels onto those tombs with cries full of terror and

[13:24]anguish.

[13:25]One calls out to Hussein, beating her cheeks, her tears falling from

[13:31]her eyes like rain.

[13:34]Another cries, "Oh grandfather, oh father," another cries, "Oh my orphanhood from

[13:39]childhood." He's describing the situation, the scene at that moment.

[13:44]This is the aftermath of Kbala.

[13:47]After the ladies returned in the family of Allah, after the tragedy,

[13:51]they were taken as captives.

[13:52]And here they return to Kbala and they remember all the memories.

[13:55]They come here and they see all their family members slain.

[14:02]They remember the pain that they suffered, the anguish that they had

[14:07]to go through.

[14:06]If you only you could have seen pleading, the poet says griefstricken,

[14:13]kissing in the soil of tough of carbala as if it were

[14:19]perfume.

[14:20]Oh you who bury the head near the body, I plead with

[14:25]you by Allah, do not scatter dust upon the moon.

[14:26]Bury the head only beside its resting place for it is the

[14:35]garden of paradise and its radiant flower on the 40th of Im

[14:53]Hussein.

[14:54]They come here to renew this pledge that we have.

[14:56]And the event of Kbalah is such a sacred event.

[15:00]An event that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has spoken to the prophet

[15:07]about it's a divine event that occurred and it changed the course

[15:12]of history.

[15:11]And it's not just a small event that occurs like any other

[15:16]event occurs in this world.

[15:18]Every event differs from the event of of from any other event.

[15:24]If I purchase a home, this is an event.

[15:26]If a accident happens outside, this is an event.

[15:28]If a team wins something, that's an event.

[15:31]There are many different events in this world, but not every event

[15:35]is the same as the other.

[15:39]They differ in terms of their sacredness, in terms of their relationship

[15:42]with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the reality of this existence.

[15:45]And the hashur is one of those events that we cannot compare

[15:51]with any other event.

[15:51]Even though we can see that there are many slaughters that happened,

[15:54]many massacres that occur and have occurred throughout history.

[15:59]And this perhaps from this from the aspect of number might be

[16:03]less than other massacres that occurred, but this is not what we

[16:07]compare it with.

[16:09]Kbala is to be compared by the quality of the individuals who

[16:12]were in it.

[16:14]And this is why it's much a much greater event when we

[16:17]have someone like Imam Hussein being killed.

[16:19]Imm Hussein Alisam that person who is the master of youth of

[16:26]paradise as the prophet had described him.

[16:28]You cannot compare his killing to any other person's killing.

[16:30]Even if all of humanity were to be killed and slaughtered, they

[16:34]will not equate the blood of imam because he remains their master

[16:38]if they are to enter paradise.

[16:42]He is an imam, an an infallible imam.

[16:44]So the grieve or the graveness of the tragedy of Kbalah lies

[16:48]in the individuals who were killed in this event.

[16:50]And it wasn't just the im it was his family members and

[16:57]the companions who were with him.

[17:00]Companions who the imisam describes himself as saying I have not seen

[17:06]any companion like my companions.

[17:07]They are the greatest of companions.

[17:10]There are the purest of the pure because by the time these

[17:14]individuals had reached Kbala they had to go through a purification process.

[17:18]There was a lot of filteration that was occurring.

[17:21]Kbala shows us the purest of the pure who they are.

[17:28]If Allah subhana wa ta'ala wants to filters and to see who

[17:31]is the one that remains the purest out of all and remove

[17:36]all the sediments of of humanity, what will remain?

[17:39]Those individuals at that time are the ones who have remained.

[17:42]Every other person was someone who when tested by Allah subhana wa

[17:48]tala they failed the test.

[17:49]And these 70ome people are the ones who remained.

[17:53]So these individuals who the imam had given the chance for.

[17:56]He told them that you have the chance to go back home.

[18:00]You don't have to come and fight with me.

[18:04]Nobody's obliging you.

[18:03]No one's forcing you.

[18:06]And the Imam Alisam he had such a tender heart.

[18:08]He was a person filled with empathy.

[18:10]If you read about his life, you can see that one of

[18:14]his special characteristics was his empathetic soul and heart that he had

[18:18]towards other people.

[18:19]He told these individuals that you can go home.

[18:22]You don't have to come with me.

[18:23]These people are coming after me.

[18:27]They want me.

[18:26]It is me who they want to kill.

[18:28]You don't have to come with me and die.

[18:30]And those individuals who remained with him are the people who saw

[18:37]that dying with Imam Hussein is the greatest thing that they can

[18:40]ever have in this world.

[18:41]These are people who the veils of the unseen had been removed

[18:45]from their eyes and their hearts.

[18:46]And these are the individuals who we remember on these days.

[18:49]We remember them because we want to connect with them.

[18:53]We want to be able to reach that level of perfection.

[18:58]That level where the imam if we were in and he asked

[19:00]us to go we would remain steadfast and he will stay with

[19:05]him because we know that death with him is far greater than

[19:08]living without dying for him living with others.

[19:11]So on the on the 40th we come to remember this event

[19:17]and I'd like on this night to take advantage of the time

[19:22]that we have to look into the personality of Imam let us

[19:27]look into what kind of person he was what kind of individual

[19:32]just if you want to imagine living with him what kind of

[19:35]person would you be living with if you were to talk to

[19:38]the imam if you were to have a conversation with the imam

[19:40]what kind of individual he would And one thing I think that

[19:44]would give us some insight into his character and his personality is

[19:48]the supplication of that is attributed to the Imam Alisam in his

[19:53]supplication which is one of the most beautiful supplications you can ever

[19:56]read.

[19:57]It's a pretty long supplication but the words of this supplication are

[20:03]so beautiful.

[20:04]If you look at them you see what kind of mind and

[20:09]heart and soul the imam had.

[20:10]He was an individual who had a lot of attention to the

[20:16]smallest of things.

[20:16]His relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[20:20]He's speaking to God in this dua.

[20:22]And you can remember this individual who recited this supplication is that

[20:27]same individual who was lying on the laying on the land of

[20:30]Kbalah before his head was severed waiting to meet Allah subhanahu wa

[20:34]ta'ala.

[20:35]What kind of emotion did he have?

[20:37]What feeling did he have in that last moment?

[20:39]If you look at his dua, you get a glimpse into his

[20:45]relationship with Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

[20:47]Because as one of the scholars says that the prophets in the

[20:53]hadith were ordered to speak to the people according to their level

[20:56]of intellect.

[20:57]When the prophet speaks to someone and the imam speaks to someone,

[21:01]they take into consideration the level of intellect that that person has,

[21:05]their audience members, right?

[21:06]But when the Imam or the prophet speak in the dua, they

[21:11]speak to Allah subhana wa ta'ala without taking into consideration anyone's level

[21:16]of intellect.

[21:15]They speak purely from their heart exactly what their mind thinks and

[21:19]what their soul thinks.

[21:22]So if we look at the dua of and this was during

[21:27]the time of Hajj, Imam Hussein Alisam went out and stood under

[21:32]the sky and began to supplicate.

[21:33]It's it's a very long dua.

[21:35]I'm not going to read the whole thing, but just to show

[21:39]you some glimpses and segments from this dua.

[21:44]And I recommend to you all to go one day and just

[21:46]look into this dua.

[21:48]Look at this treasure that the imam has left for us.

[21:50]He recited this dua from the bottom of his heart.

[21:54]Speaking to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and trying to teach us how

[22:00]our relationship with God should be.

[22:00]He begins as all the imams begin in their duas by praising

[22:05]Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

[22:05]And of course, not every praise is the same as the other.

[22:10]The way they praise Allah subhana wa ta'ala gives us a glimpse

[22:13]into how they view Allah subhanana wa ta'ala.

[22:17]And their praising is related to what they're going to ask about.

[22:20]So for example, if you want Allah subhana wa ta to forgive

[22:24]you, if you ask for forgiveness, you want to repent as an

[22:27]individual, you have to choose a name that is related to your

[22:33]state of mind and the state of your soul at that time.

[22:36]So if you want to ask for forgiveness, you have to choose

[22:41]names like the forgiver, like the merciful, the compassionate.

[22:45]You don't choose names that are not related to this.

[22:49]So you choose names that are related to what your state of

[22:53]soul is.

[22:54]If you're in a state of asking for forgiveness, you pick names

[22:57]that are relevant to that.

[23:00]If you're in need of something, you want Allah to give you

[23:02]your need, then you say, "Oh, he who answers the prayers.

[23:08]Oh, he who gives the needs of the people.

[23:12]Oh, he who listens to to people." You want God to listen

[23:15]to you to give you what you're asking for.

[23:17]You choose a specific name that is related to your want and

[23:20]your desire at that moment.

[23:23]So the Imam Alam begins by praising Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[23:26]I'm going to skip over that part.

[23:29]Then he begins to speak about all the blessings that Allah subhana

[23:35]wa ta'ala has given him and as an individual and the imam

[23:40]does not begin by at the moment that he was living then

[23:46]nor does he begin with the moment of his childhood.

[23:50]He begins before he even entered the womb of his mother.

[23:57]He talks about Allah subhana t's blessings from that moment.

[24:07]He says, "Oh Allah, I willingly desire for you and I testify

[24:19]to the lordship of you." confessing that you verily are my lord

[24:30]and to you shall be shall be my return that I came

[24:35]from you ya Allah and I'm surely returning to you this is

[24:39]the cycle of life this is what's going to happen the imam

[24:42]is completely aware of the whole course of existence and how it

[24:45]moves forward you had begun bestowing upon me your blessings The im

[24:56]says that you are the one who initiated the blessings with me.

[25:01]You started the blessings.

[25:02]He's not saying that I asked for something and you gave it

[25:04]to me.

[25:05]No, you were the one who started with the blessings.

[25:07]And this is one of the characteristics that the mment should have.

[25:11]The imams tell us that whenever you see someone who is in

[25:14]need, you have to go and give them what they need or

[25:19]give or help them out before they ask you.

[25:22]This is the characteristic of a believer.

[25:24]As soon as you feel someone needs something, don't let them ask

[25:27]you for it.

[25:29]Be the one who initiates the help before being asked for it.

[25:32]The im describes Allah subhana t as being this way.

[25:40]He says, "You had initiated the blessings upon me before I was

[25:46]anything worthy of mention." Meaning before I was even created as a

[25:50]human being, I had no name yet.

[25:52]You had already begun with your blessings.

[25:56]And you created me from dust or clay.

[26:02]You then put me in the loins, making me saved from the

[26:13]vicitudes of time.

[26:11]So the im begins by making this picturing of of the situation

[26:20]where he says I began as clay.

[26:21]So you know how we are part of this universe right before

[26:25]you become a human being before you know your mother your father

[26:31]they're eating food that food turns into those liquids and then that's

[26:34]this is how creation begins.

[26:35]It all begins from the ground from the clay.

[26:38]And the imam says that from that moment when I was still

[26:42]part of that clay of and that soil of the ground you

[26:44]were beginning with your blessings upon me.

[26:47]The imam is going that far back thinking imagine what kind of

[26:51]individual this was being so aware of the smallest of details.

[26:56]Then he says that you have protected me throughout this whole course

[27:04]of things and the changes of a ages and years.

[27:08]I was moving from a loin to a womb throughout the passages

[27:14]of the past days and the ancient ages as you have not

[27:17]taken me out of to this world on account of your sympathy

[27:23]to me.

[27:24]He says, "When I was still in the womb of my mother,

[27:28]you did not take me out too soon because of your empathy

[27:34]towards me.

[27:32]If you took me out early, I would suffer.

[27:35]You kept me there until I grew to the correct age and

[27:41]to the correct shape and form and then I left the womb

[27:42]of my mother.

[27:44]This is how much mercy Allah subhana wa tala has.

[27:48]The im views Allah's mercy in every single act of his creation

[27:53]on account of your sympathy to me and your kindness to me

[27:59]and your compassion to me.

[28:02]And then the imam continues to describe the stepbystep creation and he

[28:12]thanks Allah subhana t through every step.

[28:14]And then he says and you put me in three stages of

[28:19]darkness among flesh, blood and skin.

[28:27]You have not made me witness my own creation.

[28:30]I wasn't able to see myself when I was being created and

[28:36]you have not referred any part of my creation to me.

[28:40]I was not responsible for bringing myself into creation or taking care

[28:44]of myself at that time.

[28:49]And then you took me out on account of the guidance that

[28:53]you have already known about me to the world perfect and in

[29:01]sound health.

[29:00]As soon as you become perfect and health and you're ready to

[29:05]leave the womb, Allah subhana t allows you to leave and then

[29:12]you have safeguarded me in the cradle as a small child.

[29:16]The Imam sees his relationship with Allah subhana t throughout all the

[29:20]stages of his life.

[29:23]When I was a small child, you were taking care of me.

[29:30]You have provided me with wholesome milk as food.

[29:33]My food was already prepared for.

[29:35]You had accounted for my food.

[29:40]You had accounted for my perfection.

[29:42]And you have made the hearts of the nursemaids tender upon me.

[29:48]The mother and the ladies nursemaids at that time.

[29:50]Whoever's giving milk to the child, you made them have a tender

[29:57]heart towards me.

[29:59]You have given me into the charge of merciful mothers.

[30:10]He begins he praises Allah subhana wa ta'ala and then he goes

[30:15]to the second stage when I commenced my life by pronouncing words.

[30:22]Now the im speaks about the stage of speaking.

[30:29]You perfected me for for me the affluent bestows and you brought

[30:35]me up with an increase in every single year.

[30:38]You were raising me as I was growing up.

[30:40]You were always beside me.

[30:41]You were helping me and you were increasing me.

[30:45]And then when my creation was accomplished and my power became straight,

[30:53]I become powerful now.

[30:55]Meaning when I've reached puberty, you put me under the obligation of

[31:00]your claim.

[31:00]I become responsible towards you, Allah subhana wa ta'ala, which is that

[31:07]you inspired me with the recognition of you or the knowing of

[31:09]you.

[31:11]And then the im continues and continues until he says as you

[31:19]created me from the best of soil.

[31:23]You my God have not wanted for me to have a certain

[31:27]favor and to be deprived of another.

[31:30]Your blessings in every single moment were coming upon me.

[31:34]And you therefore provided me with the various kinds of living and

[31:39]food and the types different types of wealth out of your great

[31:43]and grand conferral upon me.

[31:45]And then the im begins to speak about himself now that he's

[31:51]become aware as a human being.

[31:52]He says and my ignorance of you and challenge have not stopped

[31:59]you from showing me that which takes me near to you.

[32:04]He says, "As human beings, Allah, you give us blessings and we

[32:07]don't return that favor to you.

[32:08]We don't thank you for it.

[32:12]What we do instead is we act out of ignorance.

[32:15]We reject what you have given us.

[32:17]We're blind to all the blessings that you've given us." In our

[32:20]normal lives, if anybody gifts you something, you feel like you're indebted

[32:24]towards that individual.

[32:25]If you have a sense of indebtedness or some sense of empathy

[32:28]and you have a good heart, if somebody gifts you something, you

[32:31]feel like you're forever indebted to with them.

[32:34]And here Allah subhana wa ta'ala is giving us in every moment

[32:38]in every small thing is a blessing from him.

[32:40]The air that we breathe the body that we have, the shelter

[32:44]that we have, the clothes that we have, the country that we're

[32:46]living in, if we have safety, every single moment is a great

[32:54]blessing.

[32:52]But do we return this favor to Allah?

[32:55]Of course, we can't return it, but do we at least thank

[32:57]him for it?

[32:58]Here the imam is showing us that you have to be vigilant

[33:00]and you have to be very very careful in your relationship with

[33:06]Allahh by thinking about all the small things that you have in

[33:11]life, all the great blessings that you have.

[33:14]He says, "If I pray to you, oh Allah, you respond to

[33:22]me.

[33:24]If I ask you, you give me and if I obey you,

[33:32]you thank me.

[33:34]Allah says, if you worship me, I thank you.

[33:35]Allah is not in need of our worship.

[33:39]But he thanks us if we worship him out of his kindness,

[33:41]out of his love, out of his compassion.

[33:43]And if I worship you, you will thank me.

[33:46]And if I thank you, you will give me more.

[33:49]Allah in the Quran tells us, "If you thank me, I will

[33:55]provide you with more." All that is completion of your favors upon

[34:01]me and your kindness to me.

[34:06]And so all glory be to you.

[34:07]All glory be to you.

[34:09]You are the one who initiates originates things.

[34:12]And then the imam asks Allahh a question.

[34:17]He says, "Which of your favors, oh Allah, can I count in

[34:23]numbers and examples?

[34:23]All these blessings that you've given me, which of them can I

[34:30]can I count?

[34:29]There are so innumerous I cannot even count them or which of

[34:37]your gifts can I thank properly?

[34:43]They are, oh my lord, too numerous to be counted by counters.

[34:47]You have given me so much blessings that if I bring the

[34:50]whole world to count with me, they'll be unable to count your

[34:55]blessings.

[34:57]Or to be realized by memorizers.

[35:01]This is one aspect and then the imam makes us aware of

[35:04]another aspect.

[35:05]These are the blessings that Allah gives you, but there's something that

[35:10]we hardly think about.

[35:09]But the im is able to think about because of the type

[35:16]of person he is.

[35:19]He pays attention to these things.

[35:18]He says, he says, "Oh Allah, that which you have warded off

[35:33]and repelled from me from the kinds of harm and mischief is

[35:38]more than that which came to me from well-being and joy." Imagine

[35:44]this thought.

[35:46]You can count your blessings.

[35:49]You can see the goodness that comes to you, right?

[35:50]You can see that today you've got paid or you have a

[35:54]family, you have children, you have food, you have this, you have

[35:56]that.

[35:56]The im says that the things that can happen to you that

[36:02]are bad and evil, the harm that can reach you in every

[36:05]single moment, there's an infinite amount of things that can occur to

[36:09]you.

[36:09]The ceiling can fall, you can choke, you can fall.

[36:14]So, anything can happen.

[36:15]There's a million possibilities.

[36:17]None of them are happening to you in this moment.

[36:21]Meaning Allah subhana t is protecting you from this.

[36:25]He's repelling them from you.

[36:26]The imam says that these evil things, these awful things that are

[36:29]not occurring to me are even more than the blessings that you

[36:34]are giving me.

[36:35]So I must thank you for that because if you live in

[36:37]this life and you think, you know, my life is terrible.

[36:39]Why am I why don't I have this?

[36:41]Why don't I have that?

[36:41]and you complain, think about all the bad things that could have

[36:47]occurred to you but have not occurred to you and thank Allah

[36:49]subhana wa tala for that.

[36:50]You're in a very very good standing.

[36:53]So the imisam talks to us about this.

[36:59]He teaches us in his speech with Allah subhana wa ta'ala that

[37:02]he sees Allah in this most merciful manner and we see that

[37:06]this had manifested on the day of Kbala.

[37:08]The words that the Imam Alisam had that same person who was

[37:14]living with his family in Arafa in Mecca praying to Allah subhanana

[37:17]wa ta'ala is that same individual who stood on the sands of

[37:19]Kbalah before the battle praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaking to

[37:25]the same God to that God who the imam says he had

[37:30]not left me from before I was born you were with me

[37:34]and here the imam stands in his last moments remembering Allah subhana

[37:38]wa ta'ala in that same fashion that same merciful and compassionate God

[37:42]and his opinion of Allah did not change at all.

[37:46]In times of comfort, he saw Allah as loving and merciful and

[37:49]compassionate.

[37:50]And in the most dreadful of times, the most tragic of times,

[37:53]the Imam addressed him in the same way with no objection, but

[37:59]rather repeating and insisting that Allah subhanana wa ta'ala is the most

[38:03]merciful, the most loving because he was able to see that in

[38:07]his life through his contemplation, through his worship, through his proximity to

[38:11]Allah subhana wa t'ala, his heart and soul were able to detect

[38:14]the love of Allah even in the harshest of situations.

[38:17]This is what we see with Zanabam.

[38:20]And it's not easy to reach that level.

[38:22]The smallest of calamities and problems that happen in our lives, we

[38:27]object.

[38:28]Why did this happen?

[38:29]Why is God doing this to me?

[38:30]Why is that happening this way?

[38:31]But these individuals who had elevated beyond this and no Allah subhana

[38:38]wa ta'ala in the proper way when Zab was asked about what

[38:44]happened in Yazid had asked her did you see what Allah did

[38:46]to your brother?

[38:48]What did she respond?

[38:48]She said I did not see nothing but beauty.

[38:53]What kind of level did Zanab reach where in the killing of

[38:58]Imam Hussein?

[38:59]She said I did not see nothing but beauty.

[39:01]This is an individual who transcends the limitations of humanity.

[39:06]We cannot even comprehend what level she was at.

[39:10]If we were to see a tragedy, we don't know what would

[39:14]happen to us.

[39:14]We don't know what was in the heart of today.

[39:20]We remember the tragedy of Muhammad.

[39:32]And on this day, now that the adan was recited, I don't

[39:37]want to take much of your time, but I want to recite

[39:40]at least a little bit of the tragedy of what occurred on

[39:42]this day and what we remember said that I went out withd

[39:49]Allah have mercy on him to visit the grave of Hussein Ali.

[39:56]He said, "When we arrived at Kbalah, Jabar went toward the bank

[40:02]of the Euphrates River and performed, the ritual bath.

[40:05]Then he wrapped himself with one cloth around his waist and draped

[40:10]another over his shoulders.

[40:13]He opened a small pouch containing, a type of perfume, and sprinkled

[40:18]it over his body.

[40:18]Then with every single step that he took, he remembered Allah subhanahu

[40:23]wa ta'ala." When he came near the grave, he said, "Let me

[40:27]touch it." So I let him touch it because Jabbet at that

[40:32]time, he had very bad eyes that he couldn't see.

[40:33]So I let him touch it and he fell upon the grave

[40:39]unconscious.

[40:38]I sprinkled some water over him and he regained consciousness.

[40:42]And then he said, "Oh Hussein, oh Hussein, oh Hussein," three times.

[40:47]Then he said, "Oh beloved one who does not answer his beloved,

[40:51]but how could you answer when your neck veins have been severed

[40:59]upon your shoulders and your body has been separated from your head?

[41:04]I bear witness that you are the son of the prophets, the

[41:08]son of the master of the believers, the son of the ally

[41:14]of piety, the offspring of guidance, the fifth of the people of

[41:18]the cloak, the son of the leader of the chosen ones, the

[41:23]son of Fatima, the leader of the woman of the worlds.

[41:27]And why would you not be so when the hand of the

[41:32]master of messengers had nourished you?

[41:34]You were raised in the lap of the righteous.

[41:38]You suckled from the breast of faith and you were weaned upon

[41:42]Islam.

[41:43]You were pure in life and pure in death.

[41:48]Yet the hearts of the believers are not at pace with your

[41:52]separation.

[41:53]though they do not doubt that Allah had chosen what was best

[41:59]for you.

[42:01]So upon you be Allah's peace and his pleasure and I bear

[42:06]witness that you followed the path upon which your brother Ya Zakar

[42:10]walked.

[42:11]Then he cast his gaze around the grave and said, "Peace be

[42:17]upon you, oh souls who came to dwell in the courtyard of

[42:20]Hussein and camped at his side.

[42:24]I bear witness that you established prayer, gave the zakat, enjoyed what

[42:32]is right, forbade what is wrong, fought with the her fought the

[42:37]heretics and worshiped Allah until certainty death came upon you by the

[42:42]one who sent Muhammad with the truth.

[42:45]We have shared in what you have entered too.

[42:48]He said that we have shared this with you.

[42:51]We have g we have gained the rewards that you have gained.

[42:53]was surprised.

[42:54]He said, "Oh, Jabir, how is it that how is it that

[42:59]when we did not descend into a valley, nor climb a mountain,

[43:01]nor strike with a sword, while the people of Kbalah have had

[43:08]their heads separated from their bodies, their children orphaned and their woman

[43:10]widowed?" Jab replied to him saying, "Oh, I heard my beloved messenger

[43:19]of Allah.

[43:20]am say whoever loves a people will be resurrected with them and

[43:28]whoever loves the deeds of a people will share in their deeds

[43:32]by the one who sent Muhammad with the truth as a prophet

[43:38]my intention and the intention of my companions is upon what Al

[43:42]Hussein and his companions were upon then says while we were in

[43:49]that state a dark shaped or form appeared from the direction of

[43:52]Sham Syria.

[43:53]I said, "Oh, Jabir, a shadow has appeared from the direction of

[43:57]Sham." Jabar said to him, "Go to that shadow and bring us

[44:02]the news.

[44:01]If they are from the followers of the enemy, then return to

[44:06]us so that we might find a place of refuge.

[44:10]But if it is Ali Hussein, then you are free for the

[44:14]sake of Allah." went and he returned quickly saying, "Oh J, rise

[44:20]to greet the family of Allah." This is who has come with

[44:29]his aunts and sisters.

[44:29]Jab rose walking barefoot and bareheaded until he came near Imam.

[44:37]The Imam asked him, "Are you Jav?" He said, "Yes, oh son

[44:44]of the messenger of Allah." The imam then said to him, "Oh

[44:46]Jir, here by Allah, our men were killed, our children were slaughtered,

[44:56]our women were taken captive and our tents were burned." They said

[45:02]while the Imam was speaking with a voice cried out, oh Hussein,

[45:08]oh my brother, it was the voice of Zam.

[45:12]She threw herself from the back of her camel.

[45:15]Then the daughters of the messenger threw themselves from the backs of

[45:20]their mouths as well.

[45:39]Ya Allah.

[45:41]Ya Allah, we ask you by the rights of Muhammad and the

[45:46]family of Muhammadam to forgive all our sins.

[45:49]Ya Allah, we ask you to illuminate our hearts, to show us

[45:52]righteousness from wrongness, to forgive us, to have mercy upon us even

[45:58]though we have many shortcomings.

[46:00]Ya Allah, for you are the most merciful.

[46:03]Ya Allah, anyone here who has any need, any request from you,

[46:06]we ask you by the rights of Im Hussein to grant them

[46:11]their needs, ya Allah.

[46:10]Anyone who is sick, who has asked us for dua, we ask

[46:15]you Allah to give them curess to give them curess from their

[46:18]illnesses.

[46:19]We send the rewards of this majus to the souls of the

[46:22]deceased of those who are present and the disease of the alongside

[46:28]al withham.
