[0:18]i have two things to share one point that addresses the believers

[0:24]the lovers of the salaam those who are truly seeking the truth

[0:30]but first i want to address the impostors the agents of doubt

[0:37]the ones that relentlessly try to sow seeds of misconception in the

[0:43]hearts of believers and to them i want to address them because

[0:50]they've tried to present a case some of these brumboys he imposters

[0:58]the impersonators of shia scholars they've tried to make this case that

[1:06]imam and divine leadership of the shia faith isn't as consistent or

[1:13]as clear as we try to make it look like and so

[1:18]they've used the case of saying muhammad to further their agenda essentially

[1:24]what they say is this they say that the uh divine appointment

[1:29]of the imams was in fact false it never happened god never

[1:34]appointed the imams case in point is muhammad why because they say

[1:44]that was the elder brother of imam al-hasan and it was in

[1:48]fact he who was supposed to be the imam after imam alhaji

[1:51]however he died in the lifetime of imam and so the shia

[1:57]assuming that he was the next imam next in line to his

[2:02]father were now confused they didn't know what to do and so

[2:05]the chain of imamit was interrupted in order to address that problem

[2:12]they picked imam al-hasan al-askari to be the next imam the younger

[2:14]brother to say muhammad and they explained this by saying that bada

[2:21]occurred meaning that god changed his mind originally it was supposed to

[2:25]be said muhammad but god changed his mind and chose imam al-hasan

[2:30]alaska to be the next imam now of course this is not

[2:38]true did occur as does bada every single day in our lives

[2:42]bada is something that happens all the time and it means that

[2:46]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala changes his decree he changes his the destiny

[2:51]that he has chosen for us it doesn't mean that god changes

[2:54]his mind number one number two it means that allah might make

[2:59]adjustments in our lives now these adjustments and this concept of does

[3:07]not apply to imam why because imam and divine guidance is something

[3:12]that has been chosen from time immemorial we have narrations stating specifically

[3:19]the names of the imams attributed to the holy prophet authentic hadith

[3:25]where the prophet mentions the names of each of the imams so

[3:31]if the prophet has chosen the names if he has relayed the

[3:33]names of the imams the choice is god's but the prophet relayed

[3:40]those names to us one by one including that of imam al-hassan

[3:43]not saying muhammad what does that tell you it tells you that

[3:48]since the beginning of time when allah chose to create things he

[3:54]chose the divine leaders from that time and nothing has changed however

[4:02]what they do these imposters they rely on a hadith in which

[4:07]says god changed his decree vis-a-vis muhammad what changed in god's decree

[4:18]what changed was that imam was obviously the younger brother of muhammad

[4:27]muhammad was supposed to outlive his father he was originally decreed by

[4:35]god to live longer than his father imam alhadi but he died

[4:39]in the lifetime of his father now why god changed his decree

[4:46]with regards to the lifespan of said muhammad is something that only

[4:50]allah subhanahu ta'ala knows but we suspect that part of the reason

[4:54]that god chose chose forsaken muhammad to die in the lifetime of

[4:58]imam al-hati was so as to prevent confusion because said muhammad was

[5:03]such a noble figure because say muhammad was the old eldest son

[5:09]of imam al-hari because he was beloved by everyone because of that

[5:12]had he lived until imam al-hadi had been martyred there might have

[5:19]been confusion that he is the next imam maybe some feeble-minded ignorant

[5:23]shia would have followed him instead of the actual appointed imam so

[5:29]this is where the bada happened and the proof of that is

[5:34]that after saying muhammad s there was no group of shia who

[5:41]followed him as the next imam no one said that he was

[5:46]supposed to be the imam everyone assumed rightly that imam al-askari was

[5:50]the next imam and so this idea that oh no one knows

[5:55]who the imam's imam was that there was so much confusion that

[5:58]there was so much uh you know this idea that you know

[6:04]imam ate was not something that was clear and so forth this

[6:09]is all nothing but nonsensical garbage don't fall for that yes there's

[6:13]confusion about everything there's confusion about god's existence so what it doesn't

[6:17]mean that because there are people who are confused about something that

[6:21]it's not true or that it's not authentic so dismiss these imposters

[6:26]they are good for nothing and they will fizzle away and disappear

[6:30]in no time you don't have to worry about them as for

[6:35]my statement addressing the believers the lovers of the adult you should

[6:38]come to say muhammad if you haven't done so muhammad is an

[6:43]incredible personality and the proof is in the pudding as they say

[6:46]the proof is that you see thousands upon thousands of people coming

[6:51]to his shrine seeking his intercession asking allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

[6:57]cure their sick to to heal their wounds to grant their wishes

[7:06]in the honor of muhammad who was known locally as jail meaning

[7:13]the lion of the jail the one who protected this town which

[7:18]is a town of shia inhabitants but is surrounded by people who

[7:23]are resentful and hateful and antagonistic towards the shia muhammad was their

[7:30]refuge say the muhammad was their protector and their savior sayyid muhammad

[7:34]is an incredible personality so many people come here and then they

[7:38]leave these placards and these posters thanking him after allah subhanahu wa

[7:43]ta'ala for granting their wishes come and you will get a sense

[7:48]of the grandeur and honor and blessing of saying muhammad sallallahu
