[0:06]yeah that's good muham muham ald muhamed all [Music] gal k the

[2:58]title of tonight's Le lecture is Silver Linings how to see the

[3:08]light when the world seems dark the term Silver Linings actually comes

[3:16]from a poem that was written by John Milton in 1643 it's

[3:25]an old phrase and over time it became a popular metaphor for

[3:37]optimism and hope and the idea is that Silver Linings refer to

[3:45]the bright edges that surround dark clouds those bright edges that are

[3:54]backlit by the moon or the Sun so Silver Linings is essentially

[4:06]a metaphor that describes the ability of a person to see the

[4:12]positives in negative and difficult situations now the question is what does

[4:18]the Quran tell us about optimism and hope what you see is

[4:28]that the Quran actually places great emphasis on this notion of a

[4:35]Believer being hopeful you know often times when you ask people are

[4:41]you a pessimist or are you an optimist what do people usually

[4:48]say they say sheh I'm not an optimist nor am I a

[4:50]pessimist I am a realist now of course there's nothing wrong with

[4:57]being a realist was a realist importance of having an optimistic Outlook

[5:03]and I think this is a very relevant discussion because let's face

[5:07]it the world is in shambles it's very difficult to look at

[5:14]the world and see the mercy of God in fact in the

[5:21]midst of a genocide many are probably asking where is God now

[5:27]I want to share with you a couple cple of verses of

[5:32]the Quran so we can kind of open up our discussion for

[5:35]tonight you guys are all familiar with Surah yusu Allah subhana wa

[5:44]ta'ala in Surah yusu he shares with us a conversation that takes

[5:52]place between y the father of Yousef and his sons those sons

[6:00]that essentially tried to kill their little brother and this is verse

[6:06]86 so it's really at the end of the Surah you know

[6:10]after all of those trials and tribulations what happens at this juncture

[6:16]of the story is that yakub is now an elderly man and

[6:23]it's been decades since he seen his son yusf the last time

[6:30]that he saw was when he was a little boy so now

[6:35]it's been Decades of separation from his beloved child and to compound

[6:45]the Calamity now Y is blind and to further complicate things there

[6:51]is now a famine in Canan and that's why the brothers are

[6:57]sent to Egypt to go get some Aid to receive some food

[7:04]and they say to the father that let us take bamin with

[7:10]us because if we have more people we will get more support

[7:15]they go and then they come back and bamin is now not

[7:21]with them and now the Quran tells us that now yub is

[7:32]in a situation where okay I lost Yu I'm blind and now

[7:40]I lost another child and I look around my Village and I

[7:46]see nothing but hunger and suffering so what is he saying he

[8:01]says I only complain about my suffering and my grief to Allah

[8:10]this is very important for us to understand complaining to Allah does

[8:22]not negate your optimism complaining to Allah about your suffering it does

[8:30]not negate your patience there's nothing wrong with complaining to Allah in

[8:35]fact that's who you should complain to and then he says he

[8:49]says for years these boys they would tell their father that you

[8:57]keep on mentioning Yu just get over it he's dead he's not

[9:01]alive anymore except the reality he says I know from Allah what

[9:09]you don't know and then what does he say he says in

[9:14]the next Ayah he says go back it's been decades he says

[9:28]go back and search for YF he still has hope search for

[9:34]YF and his brother and then what does he say he says

[9:42]and imagine this is coming from an old blind man who has

[9:48]not seen his son for decades who has just lost another son

[9:52]there's a famine he says don't despair of the relief of Allah

[9:57]don't despair of the mercy of Allah the Imam says verily no

[10:13]one despairs of the mercy of Allah except the meaning is trying

[10:24]to convey that if you really know who Allah is if you

[10:29]know who your lord is you cannot despair Despair and Iman do

[10:34]not mix they're contradictory Concepts yes you can feel sad y felt

[10:45]sad sadness is natural sadness is a natural human emotion sadness is

[10:53]from Allah Allah gave us this ability to feel sadness but despair

[11:01]is from Shan sadness is from Allah but despair is from Shan

[11:08]now the question is how do we cultivate and develop hope how

[11:16]do I become a more hopeful person because I've been let down

[11:24]in my life I've lost my job my marriage has fallen apart

[11:28]I've been divorced I've been poor I've have all these problems people

[11:33]have let me down how can I be hopeful how can I

[11:37]be optimistic I've lost hope in people listen it's okay to lose

[11:44]hope in people but make sure that doesn't translate in losing hope

[11:48]in Allah so how do we regain how do we develop that

[11:56]hope in Allah subhah wa ta'ala the answer is that we have

[12:05]to gain a better understanding of who our Lord is we have

[12:09]we need you know that's why the imams spend so much time

[12:16]in their duas uating for us the attributes of God so we

[12:19]know who he is because when you know him you will trust

[12:23]him when you know him you will love him when you know

[12:26]him you will surrender to him when you know him you will

[12:31]prefer his decree over your preference number one the first thing that

[12:38]you need to know about Allah about your lord is he doesn't

[12:44]wrong anybody Allah doesn't oppress anybody Allah has not been unfair or

[12:56]unjust to a single soul you know many of you may be

[13:05]famili familiar with a great Christian Theologian by the name of CS

[13:10]Lewis he has some pretty amazing quotes you know he used to

[13:15]be an atheist and he has he says and I'll read for

[13:18]you the quote he used to be an atheist who used to

[13:22]argue for the nonexistence of God so he says my argument against

[13:29]God was that the Universe seemed so cruel and unjust he says

[13:39]I look around at the world at the universe it's so harsh

[13:44]it's filled with Injustice my argument against God was that the the

[13:52]world was cruel the universe was cruel and unjust but then he

[13:57]says but how how did I get this idea of just and

[14:05]unjust he says a man does not call a line crooked unless

[14:12]he has an idea of what a straight line is he says

[14:19]when I called the universe unjust what was I comparing it to

[14:26]there is this internal recognition that there is some absolute Justice out

[14:34]there we all crave it and this is a part of the

[14:43]not only do we know and we recognize that there is there

[14:50]is this ultimate justice but we all yearn for it even the

[14:57]most wicked oppressor hopes to be treated justly in the court of

[15:02]law There Is This Love For Justice so number one if you

[15:08]want to have hope in Allah number one remember that Allah never

[15:11]does anything to you everything that he does is for you he

[15:17]doesn't wrong you he's just he's Fair that's number one number two

[15:23]is that not only is Allah just but he's exceedingly merciful now

[15:32]we always hear this Allah is merciful Allah is the beneficent and

[15:36]the merciful but some of us we don't really feel that we

[15:41]don't believe it we might not want to say it sometimes when

[15:45]we read the Quran you feel like choking as you're reading it

[15:50]because you say I'm reading the words but I don't feel it

[15:54]there's a Dua in the month of rajab it's recommended to to

[16:01]recite this Dua was taught by IM in this Dua the Imam

[16:18]he teaches us how to speak to Allah in this sacred month

[16:23]and among the things that he says [Music] oh the one who

[16:44]gives abundantly who gives a lot for little acts of goodness Allah

[16:52]rewards us very generously you know there was there's a Hadith that

[16:56]we have that says in the month of of if you say

[17:03]a thousand times and it's not difficult to recite a thousand you

[17:10]have a whole month even if you don't you save it for

[17:16]the last 10 days just say 100 times a day for the

[17:18]last 10 that's a thousand times the Hadith says whoever says a

[17:26]thousand times in the month of r Allah will grant them 100,000

[17:34]H and 100 cities in jenah 100 cities not houses for what

[17:52]why does Allah giving you so much is it because we deserve

[17:57]it it's because that's who he is he's generous for a that

[18:04]will take you maximum maybe a couple of hours at most Allah

[18:11]gives you this mindboggling reward why because that's why he created you

[18:19]he wants you to benefit from his endless Eternal Mercy is Allah

[18:29]does the does the generosity and the mercy stop there sometimes you

[18:39]say oh Allah I have nothing to show for I have it

[18:44]even done a little bit you know sometimes Allah gives as compensation

[18:48]for what you do but let's say that you don't do anything

[18:53]you have nothing to show for Allah says I give just because

[19:00]you asked just because you asked him does the generosity and the

[19:09]mercy of Allah stop there no look at what Imad says Allah

[19:22]doesn't only give the ones who ask oh the one who gives

[19:28]to those who don't even ask the majority of the blessings that

[19:33]we have in our lives we didn't even ask Allah for it

[19:39]has anyone in this room ever made a Dua oh Allah I

[19:44]ask you through your mercy to ensure that my spleen is functioning

[19:50]yaah Allah yman I ask you today to protect me by guiding

[19:58]all of the ends enzymes in my liver has anyone made this

[20:01]Dua unless you're a weird medical student maybe you no one no

[20:07]one makes that kind of Dua but Allah gives it to you

[20:11]you don't understand the value of these duas that we laugh at

[20:17]unless your liver stops working so Allah is the one who gives

[20:24]to those who don't even ask and it doesn't even stop there

[20:27]he also gives to those who don't even know him there are

[20:37]people who don't know Allah who don't believe in Allah Allah is

[20:41]a stranger to them but he doesn't withhold he gives them Allah

[20:51]gives everybody but the question is do I have the capacity to

[20:55]receive all that he gives that's the problem it's easy to receive

[20:59]material things but the spiritual gifts they're they're more important they're heavier

[21:06]blessings you need capacity for them so Allah is merciful this is

[21:14]the Lord that you and I have so when you have a

[21:18]lord like this who gives a lot for a little who gives

[21:22]those who ask who gives those who don't ask who gives those

[21:27]who don't know him why does he do this to he gives

[21:32]it purely out of his kindness and his Mercy now Allah you

[21:42]might be looking at what's happening in and you're thinking to yourself

[21:49]that where's the you know the problem is brothers and sisters is

[21:55]that we human beings we're very limited and what we see and

[21:59]what we understand you know there's a very beautiful saying is that

[22:02]we human beings we always object to Allah because we see the

[22:10]pixel but Allah sees the picture you know a pixel is very

[22:16]dark and you can't really see anything it's blurry it doesn't make

[22:20]sense you look and you see death and destruction people losing loved

[22:27]ones and others who are losing limbs and you say you see

[22:32]kids being pulled out of the rubble dead bodies that's because we're

[22:39]only seeing one side right we're just like M all we see

[22:45]are things that look very problematic we're objecting because we're seeing it

[22:53]from M's perspective not from K's wisdom there's an Ayah in the

[22:59]Quran where Allah subhana wa taala speaks about those who die on

[23:07]his path and those who are defending M those who are standing

[23:12]on their lands and not allowing the occupiers to take over them

[23:16]these people Allah inshallah will accept them as Martyrs but what does

[23:21]Allah say you see we see one side we see the DWI

[23:27]side of the portal but what does Allah say about how they

[23:30]are received on the other side Allah he [Music] says Allah says

[23:43]those who die in my way they are rejoicing they are rejoicing

[23:51]over what Allah has given them the world didn't give them anything

[23:56]the world just took away things from from them these kids who

[24:02]had their childhoods stripped away from them by Biden and Netanyahu and

[24:07]these criminals Allah says these ones they're rejoicing they're so happy we

[24:18]failed them we weren't able to bring joy to them but Allah

[24:24]Allah is able to and they're waiting anticipating they're waiting for the

[24:37]arrival of their loved ones that's their condition and for the bidens

[24:45]and the Nyah and the blinkin all of them Allah also has

[24:47]an Ayah for them you open the television all we hear is

[25:02]what Biden said and what Netanyahu said and what blink and said

[25:08]Allah says on the day of judgment we will put a seal

[25:09]on their mouths they don't get to talk their limbs will testify

[25:17]you know who gets to talk in we Elevate the voice of

[25:31]the Prime Minister the president the defense minister but on the day

[25:37]of judgment Allah centers the voice of the victim we have to

[25:43]know these things because when you know this you're optimistic you're hopeful

[25:49]you know that Allah he doesn't let any aggression go unaccounted for

[25:56]so Allah is just Allah is merciful and Allah subhana wa tala

[26:05]is wise you know the reason why sometimes it's difficult to see

[26:09]the Silver Lining because is because some of us have forgotten why

[26:12]Allah even created us to begin with you forget your purpose what

[26:21]is our purpose and I know we're very used to giving the

[26:25]Sunday School answer the one that we memorize and gurgitate Allah created

[26:31]us to to worship him what does that mean but Allah doesn't

[26:37]need our worship Allah subhana T doesn't need our worship it's very

[26:41]interesting that when you look at the Quran Allah subhana waala in

[26:47]he speaks to you and I oh children of Adam did I

[27:01]not take a covenant with you that you shall not worship Shan

[27:08]because he's a manifest enemy but worship me it's interesting that the

[27:20]Quran says that human beings have two choices you either worship Shan

[27:29]meaning you worship what he wants you to worship or you worship

[27:33]me there's no third option there is no such thing as a

[27:39]human being who doesn't worship every human being worships the difference is

[27:46]what is your object of worship that's the only difference if you

[27:51]look at the history of humanity anthropologists can affirm this if you

[27:56]look at the archaeological records human beings spoke different languages they had

[28:01]different Cuisines they had different cultures different clothes but there is one

[28:09]common denominator among all human societies and that is ritual worship what

[28:17]does worship mean don't limit the concept of worship to bwing and

[28:22]prostrating yes there are people who have never bowed and they have

[28:26]never prostrated physically but they worship to worship means that you have

[28:31]an extraordinary admiration for someone or something you are entirely devoted to

[28:41]someone or something because you have a deep rooted belief that that

[28:46]object of worship is going to give you what you're searching for

[28:49]it's going to give you that happiness it's going to give you

[28:57]that prosperity for some people it's money you have an extraordinary admiration

[29:01]for money you are deeply devoted to money because you think that

[29:06]the more I devote myself to the pursuit of money the more

[29:13]happy I will be you think that if I can just Ascend

[29:16]to this political office that's all that I need and I'll be

[29:22]happy it will make me feel fulfilled all of that isan Shan

[29:31]wants you to worship anyone or anything other than Allah but Allah

[29:39]says I want you to only worship me why you know sometimes

[29:44]when I speak to my Christian friends they say God doesn't want

[29:48]you to ascribe Partners to him he wants you to only worship

[29:54]him because he's a jealous God Allah subhana wa taala is not

[29:59]jealous Allah doesn't want us and I want you to listen very

[30:06]carefully to this Allah doesn't want us to worship anything other than

[30:10]him because he has high regard for us he doesn't want you

[30:18]to have extraordinary admiration and Devotion to something that is as needy

[30:23]as you are why humiliate yourself and devote yourself to something that

[30:34]is limited weak insignificant you only have two paths the path of

[30:42]or the path of and it's interesting that Allah he says but

[30:53]worship me that is the straight path we've been hearing this phrase

[31:03]since we were children what is the meaning of when Allah says

[31:16]the straight path the idea of a path implies that we're on

[31:22]a journey meaning that the D is not your resting place you

[31:27]weren't meant for this world you were created for something higher that's

[31:34]number one number two is when Allah says worship me that is

[31:40]the straight path a straight path is the shortest distance between two

[31:46]points a straight path implies that there are crooked paths there are

[31:55]paths that will take you to other than Allah but it also

[32:02]implies that there are longer paths yeah they will take you to

[32:06]Allah but it's going to take a long time to get there

[32:11]what is the longer path it's when you mix the worship of

[32:16]Allah with disobedience to Allah imagine yourself you're on the freeway and

[32:25]you're speeding right because we're in Michigan you're speeding and you're going

[32:32]straight whenever you commit a sin it's like taking the exit too

[32:38]early you know when you take an exit you know you're driving

[32:43]and your wife is talking to you and you missed the exit

[32:46]it's always her fault you take the exit and now you got

[32:50]to get back on the freeway but it's not easy to get

[32:54]back on the freeway you got to make a U-turn and then

[32:57]there's a d to a sign and then it delays your journey

[33:03]whenever you commit a sin it's like taking the exit and now

[33:09]you have to get back on the highway through the process of

[33:12]Toba yes you can still get to God but you know it's

[33:17]a longer unnecessary route the straight path is obedience not committing sin

[33:27]Allah created us because he wants us to arrive at the best

[33:36]of places take the path that is going to lead you to

[33:40]proximity to him because that is the key to Eternal Prosperity Allah

[33:45]created you because he wants you to enjoy he wants you to

[33:50]Experience Unlimited happiness and pleasure but there's only one place where you

[33:54]get anything that is unlimited and that is with the only being

[33:59]that is unlimited muham muham now when you Embrace this path how

[34:11]much time do I have left I'll speak as much as I

[34:15]wantam muhamad I always tell myself look at the clock before you

[34:21]get on the mimar but I didn't look at the clock so

[34:26]now you're at my Mercy I'm just going to talk until until

[34:28]I start to see people leave when you Embrace when you surrender

[34:35]you say oh Allah I accept you as my Lord as the

[34:39]one who doesn't oppress as the all merciful and I know that

[34:42]you are wise and you did not create anything in vain everything

[34:45]that you do has purpose and I also have purpose and you

[34:49]created me for the greatest purpose and that is to be close

[34:52]to you when you put yourself under the of Allah the prophet

[35:03]he says how wondrous is the affair of the believer the IM

[35:17]the prophet he says how wondrous how amazing is the affair of

[35:26]the believer everything that happens to him or her is good when

[35:31]you're M nothing that is happening in your life is bad for

[35:36]you you might not like it just like you don't like medicine

[35:38]and you don't like shots right but these are all things that

[35:41]are good for you right unless it's a CO shot oh that's

[35:47]controversial but so if you're a m everything that happens is good

[35:55]I'll give you an example how many of you have made Dua

[36:00]and your Dua at least from your Vantage Point before I even

[36:06]finish the question the sister raised her hand right how many of

[36:09]you made a Dua and your Dua wasn't answered at least in

[36:14]the way that you expected it to be raise your hand yeah

[36:17]there are a lot of you there a lot of you that's

[36:20]normal right so now I'm going to probably share a Hadith that

[36:23]is going to be the ultimate glad Tiding for you and sometimes

[36:28]it does happen you've been praying for years and years and years

[36:32]yaah Allah please let me marry her that's usually what the Dua

[36:36]is she doesn't even know you exist but you're making this Dua

[36:42]you make a Dua one day two days two months 5 years

[36:47]10 years and you start to feel despondent you say oh Allah

[36:56]I thought you aren't you the one who says ask me and

[37:02]I will respond we have a narration mentions this in the narration

[37:06]is from IM he says who a a raises his hands to

[37:33]Allah he has a you ask Allah for a need you present

[37:41]a request to him so Allah says to his angels Allah says

[37:50]delay the answering of the Dua because I love to hear the

[37:56]voice and the Dua of my servant let's be honest brothers and

[37:59]sisters if Allah gives us what we want we're going to stop

[38:06]supplicating to him and Allah subhana wa ta'ala because he is looking

[38:15]out for your best interest continuously praying to him having a relationship

[38:25]with him has more value in the thing that you're asking him

[38:30]for sometimes Allah withholds what you're asking because if he if he

[38:36]gives it to you you're going to sever the connection with him

[38:38]so he doesn't give it to you so you continuously talk to

[38:44]him because what you gain just from talking to him is greater

[38:50]than any material gift you're searching for and then the Hadith continues

[38:59]then on the day of judgment oh my servant in you called

[39:13]upon me you asked me for things and I didn't respond to

[39:21]you I didn't forget that Dua you made I didn't give it

[39:27]to you and do here is the compensation for your unanswered Dua

[39:34]and on this day you made another Dua and I didn't answer

[39:39]you in D and this is the reward for your patience here

[39:47]is the compensation for your unanswered Dua then you know Imad says

[39:56]at the end [Music] Imad says when a mmin sees how generous

[40:19]Allah is in compensating for those unanswered duas the Imam says on

[40:28]that day a mmin will wish that none of their duas were

[40:31]answered Allah subhana wa tala wants Jenna for all of us some

[40:38]of us our Deeds are not going to take us there so

[40:44]Allah says you're not planning for your so I'll plan for your

[40:48]through the unanswered duas I'll take you to Jenna not through your

[40:55]am through your unanswered duas that's a silver lining what you see

[41:03]is God is not hearing me but the reality is God is

[41:06]creating a Salvation plan for you and there are so many stories

[41:13]like this my dear brothers and sisters having hope having high hopes

[41:19]in Allah many of us we we love to recite Dua Abu

[41:22]Hamza thumali in the Dua of Abu Hamza there's a line in

[41:27]which IM he says oh Allah we have great hope in you

[41:40]we don't just hope in you we have great expectations from you

[41:46]great hope in you there's a beautiful narration from he says he

[42:07]says the IM he says have more hope in Allah for the

[42:16]things that you don't expect than the things that you do expect

[42:20]have so much hope in him and then the IM he gives

[42:27]an example the Imam he says M after spending 10 years on

[42:48]the farm of sh it was time for him to go back

[42:53]to Egypt he has to go back to his people he was

[42:56]traveling through the deserts and it was nighttime and he got lost

[43:02]he was lost his wife is pregnant he has children he is

[43:11]walking through the freezing desert at night there are wild animals he

[43:15]doesn't know where to put his family they're going to freeze to

[43:21]death it's a bad situation and he sees some light on the

[43:29]mountain IM he says M went up that mountain hoping for some

[43:41]firewood to warm his family that's the only thing that he wanted

[43:45]that's the only thing that he was expecting some firew word and

[43:48]may firewood and maybe someone to give them some directions right right

[43:52]it's the Sunnah of mus to ask for directions for the brothers

[43:55]who don't like to ask for directions he goes up and Imam

[44:03]says he went up expecting fire wood but Allah made him one

[44:07]of the prophets sometimes you're expecting something very small you're in a

[44:16]bad situation but that seemingly bad situation is a precursor for the

[44:20]greatest gift Allah is about to give you we have many examples

[44:26]of this if we go back to the story of YF when

[44:30]YF was thrown in that well by his brothers can you imagine

[44:36]how he felt when they were throwing him in the well there

[44:39]was a moment that he was smiling and the brothers looked at

[44:46]him in this they said why are you smiling we're literally throwing

[44:48]you in a well and we're going to leave you here he

[44:53]says I'm smiling because for all my life I used to say

[44:57]that no one could harm me because I have 10 brothers and

[45:03]my brothers now are throwing me in the well I realized that

[45:06]I have no one other than Allah when he was in that

[45:12]dark well now that is a very tragic moment but do you

[45:17]know what the silver lining of Yousef being in that well was

[45:20]look at the trajectory of his life if he wasn't thrown in

[45:25]the well the Caravan going to Egypt would have never picked him

[45:28]up and he would have never been sold to the Minister of

[45:33]Finance and if he wasn't sold to the Minister of Finance he

[45:39]would have never been seduced by Z if he wasn't seduced by

[45:41]he would have never ended up in the prison where he guided

[45:44]some of his inmates to and he interpreted the dream of one

[45:49]of his inmates and that is what led him to meet the

[45:54]king and because he met the king he became the head of

[46:00]the treasury of the greatest civilization on Earth it all started with

[46:04]him being thrown in the well Allah want Allah chose yusf who

[46:10]came from this distant Village called Canan and he wanted to export

[46:17]to the Egyptian CI civilization it had to happen through the Well

[46:22]when the prophet was expelled from Mecca it was heartbreaking but the

[46:31]Silver Lining was what if he had remained Islam would have never

[46:35]spread as quickly as it did when yunus was in the belly

[46:42]of the whale he he's he's in the belly of the whale

[46:59]enveloped in layers of Darkness if that didn't happen would he he

[47:08]came to a realization there that I'm in the darkness of this

[47:12]I am in physical darkness and I gave up on my people

[47:18]who are in a more serious type of Darkness spiritual Darkness how

[47:21]how did I give up on them he goes back they real

[47:27]realized the of losing yunus and he he realized that he needed

[47:30]to be more patient he goes back over 100,000 of them converted

[47:35]to the path of Sil Silver Lining when the library of shei

[47:43]was burned in Bagdad what a tragedy but it was the burning

[47:51]of his library and the persecution that he faced that forced him

[47:55]to go and settle in nef where he established the house of

[48:01]nef which stands until today Silver Linings and when M the IM

[48:09]whom we have gathered here tonight to commemorate when he was dragged

[48:18]to the prisons for most people it would have been the end

[48:22]it would have been a moment of despair but what does m

[48:28]say he [Music] says what type of soul is this he says

[48:52]oh Allah for a long time I've been asking you to free

[48:58]up my time so that I can worship you so that I

[49:01]can devote myself to you and youve answered my Dua he's going

[49:07]into a prison but he sees the silver lining now I get

[49:09]to be alone with my Lord you know whenever we mention the

[49:16]tragedies of the we always link it to the tragedy of IM

[49:22]Hussein there are so many parallels when IM Hussein walked in to

[49:28]the room of his brother IM alassan and he was vomiting blood

[49:34]because of the corrosive poison that was coursing through his veins the

[49:39]narration say that Imam Hussein started to cry and this is where

[49:45]IM he says Don't Cry abdah there are no days there is

[50:01]no day like your day and today I say to IM Hussein

[50:07]abdah it is true there is no day like your day but

[50:15]how about your son M ja if there is no day like

[50:20]the day of abdah there are no years like the years of

[50:34]the IM spent many years in the prisons not one prison or

[50:44]two prisons har ABI would send him to a prison and the

[50:47]IM would influence the prison guards he would soften their hearts they

[50:55]were given the responsib ability of torturing the IM but the Imam

[51:01]would soften their hearts they became admirers of the IM on one

[51:07]occasion they sent a woman to seduce they summoned the most beautiful

[51:12]woman in the Arabian Peninsula to seduce him they sent her into

[51:21]the prison cell they left for a while and when they returned

[51:24]they found her Pros tring with M the narration say that one

[51:33]of the prisons in which the IM was detained in was a

[51:38]prison where he was the prison Warden the narrations say that as

[51:47]he was standing and looking down into the prison where IM was

[51:51]held one of his companions came to him and he said y

[51:55]father what are you looking at he said to him you look

[51:59]what do you see he says I see a garment that is

[52:12]thrown on the ground he says to him look again he said

[52:23]I looked more closely and I said to I see a man

[52:29]in a man that has been deprived of food so much so

[52:34]that he is only skin and bones when I look down it

[52:40]appears that it is only a rag on the ground he says

[52:46]this man I don't know why he's even being detained I see

[52:53]him in the morning after he performs he stays awake until sunrise

[53:02]making Dua supplicating to Allah and I swear by Allah with the

[53:06]rising of the sun he goes down into sujud and he doesn't

[53:12]raise his head from until the time of he prays he recites

[53:18]his and his Dua and he continues in until at the time

[53:25]of he breaks is Fast by God he fasts during the day

[53:29]and he worships at night the narration say that eventually M was

[53:36]transferred to the prison ofah one of the most ruthless prison guards

[53:43]the narrations say that the chains around IM M ja were so

[53:50]heavy that the IM could barely move he would be tortured on

[53:54]a daily basis on one occas the door was open the IM

[53:59]was in solitary confinement they put him on a in a dungeon

[54:03]that was so dark that the Imam he would always ask if

[54:08]it was the time of Salah because there was no light in

[54:12]that dungeon the narration say on one occasion the door of the

[54:18]cell of the prison was open the IM started to crawl towards

[54:24]the door imagine when you're in a dungeon it's very stuffy in

[54:28]there he wanted to breathe some fresh air the IM he he

[54:34]takes his face out he opens that cell he takes a deep

[54:39]breath as sees him he says to him what are you doing

[54:41]outside of the cell and he slaps the face of at that

[54:52]moment IM he turns to Allah after years of patience he says

[54:58]rescue me from this prison comes to IM he says to him
