[3:37]the leadership and the will ayah of imam ali IBN ABI talib

[3:40]alehissalaam this amazing leader whom we have neglect neglect it for 14

[3:51]centuries the world has not done justice to this amazing leader whom

[3:55]Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has appointed for humanity the commander of the

[4:03]faithful Emir on minion Salam Allahu Allah on that day on the

[4:08]day of Eid or the 18th of the Hodja the Messenger of

[4:15]God made a very important prayer he said o Allah befriend whoever

[4:23]befriends him support whoever supports him and be the enemy of the

[4:28]one who is an enemy to Allah even a butte on it

[4:33]it is our goal in this life to make ourselves respected brothers

[4:41]and sisters included in the dua of the Prophet because he prayed

[4:47]for everyone who supports Imam Ali o Allah support the one who

[4:52]supports Elizabeth on it how does this journey of supporting the Iman

[4:56]begin first it starts by knowing the Imam do I really know

[5:04]my leader the significance and position of my leader the qualities of

[5:08]my leader what he represents what he symbolizes do I know this

[5:12]or not does my family know this or not do my children

[5:18]know this or not the first step is to know the Imam

[5:23]to know his contributions we the followers of a debate we speak

[5:27]of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib on his Salam so proudly he's

[5:32]a man of accomplishments and contributions to humanity but ask the average

[5:38]person what are the contributions of the Imam what did he offer

[5:44]to humanity unfortunately because some are not educated about the position of

[5:51]the Imam they're clueless they have no idea 14 centuries later how

[5:58]do i benefit from the path of ali IBN ABI talib what

[6:03]did he offer for Humanity many people are not aware of the

[6:06]achievements and the contributions and the accomplished judgments of imam ali IBN

[6:12]abu talib al salam and we've done a great act of injustice

[6:16]against the imam by neglecting his contributions and not using them today

[6:24]to solve our modern global problems ma'am not even have you thought

[6:31]about his son I've had many contributions but this evening respected brothers

[6:36]and sisters I would like to share with you one significant and

[6:40]important aspect in which the Imam Ali Salaam offered an invaluable contribution

[6:50]to humanity one that we really need today we are in a

[6:59]dire need for this contribution that Imam Ali may be Lalibela Salaam

[7:04]presented to humanity this contribution is the Imams strategies in combating poverty

[7:12]this is very important the Imam Ali Salaam developed an amazing strategy

[7:20]to eliminate poverty to minimize poverty to deliver a solution to this

[7:30]historical global problem that every society suffers from a mammal even a

[7:37]banana Bonnie Salam when he speaks of poverty he makes us realize

[7:42]that there are two types of poverty because when you hear about

[7:45]the word poverty what do you think immediately your mind goes to

[7:52]Africa and you picture a child who's starving right or some homeless

[7:57]person begging on the street these are the images that come to

[8:01]our mind when we hear the word poverty but is this the

[8:07]only type of poverty that exists what does Imam Ali have never

[8:11]thought about Islam say about poverty before we examine what is solution

[8:16]was in eliminating poverty in my money of navya Taliban in Salem

[8:21]brings to our attention that there are two types of poverty you've

[8:26]got the material physical poverty when someone lacks basic necessities someone who's

[8:33]poor who's financially in trouble let's say who does not have money

[8:38]that's one type the second type of poverty that the imam ali

[8:50]salam speaks about is spiritual poverty non material poverty non physical poverty

[8:59]and the imam ali salam points out to three types of non

[9:04]material poverty the first type of poverty that the imam ali salaam

[9:10]addresses in his sermons through his actions is intellectual poverty we see

[9:20]that imam ali bin abu talib on his salaam famously said la

[9:28]Xena can Adam what a I can jam Ramon ELISA Lam says

[9:33]there is no richness like the intellect and there is no poverty

[9:42]like ignorance someone can have billions of dollars could be the richest

[9:47]person but if this person is not intellectually rich intellectually mature according

[9:53]to the Imam Ali Salaam this person is what this port he

[9:58]really doesn't have anything you know that's why they say if you

[10:03]think education is expensive try ignorance ignorance is very costly you could

[10:12]have all the resources around you but because of ignorance because of

[10:20]the lack of intellectual maturity you're actually poor the Amana Aslam brings

[10:28]our attention to this fundamental point too advance to progress to enrich

[10:35]yourselves your families you need to develop your intellectual capacity you need

[10:41]to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave not to waste

[10:46]a single minute any of your life not advancing intellectually and subhanAllah

[10:53]today when you have for example economists psychologists sociologists when they examine

[11:05]the roots of poverty the causes of poverty they've come to the

[11:10]conclusion that the biggest factor or one of the biggest factors that

[11:15]contribute to poverty is ignorant it's lack of education one reason why

[11:21]Western nations are so advanced is because of their educational system because

[11:26]of the schools the colleges the universities here in the United States

[11:30]we have over 7,000 colleges and universities this gives you development this

[11:37]gives you a strong economy the man honey salaam focuses on this

[11:44]and this is extremely important on the other hand the imam ali

[11:50]salam says that there is no poverty like being unwise like foolishness

[11:59]akbar own and hunc foolishness is the worst type of poverty it

[12:05]destroys one's life you see for example a father who's not responsible

[12:11]who's foolish he ruins his life the same could apply to a

[12:17]mother to a community leader to a head of state we've had

[12:20]heads of states Prime Minister's leaders Kings whatever you want to call

[12:29]them who ruined their entire society because of foolishness see what's going

[12:35]on in some parts of the world see what's going on in

[12:38]some parts of the Middle East absolute foolish no respect for knowledge

[12:46]no respect for the intellect many of the decisions are based on

[12:51]foolishness and you see what's happening there they're burning the whole region

[12:58]with that foolishness so this is one type of poverty that the

[13:02]imam ali salam speaks about the second type of poverty the imam

[13:10]ali salam speaks about we're talking about a material poverty poverty that's

[13:15]not physical or material it's the poverty of the self or the

[13:21]poverty of self-esteem what does the imam ali salam say in one

[13:32]hadith he says shall rule or Neffs the most evil wretched type

[13:39]of poverty is the poverty of the self what does that mean

[13:43]how can someone self be poor there are some people in this

[13:51]life they have a rich self they deal with everything with a

[13:55]positive attitude with a good positive attitude with good Aslam when they

[14:05]look at other people in society they wish well for them they

[14:09]want the goodness for everyone they want to see everyone successful around

[14:13]them they have a rich self they're generous on the other hand

[14:17]you have some people in society the exact opposite if his friend

[14:26]advances he's envious and he doesn't feel good about it if his

[14:31]neighbor has something which he does not have that upsets him and

[14:35]disappoints him they have a poor self they don't want goodness for

[14:46]other people they don't have a big heart a big chest one

[14:49]of the signs of the believers is that their big hearted when

[14:57]it comes to the difficulties of lives hardships dealing with others they

[15:00]have a big heart they're gentle they're sweet they're generous and they

[15:07]want goodness for everyone some people unfortunately they're inflicted with the poverty

[15:15]of the self their self is very low they can't handle anything

[15:19]they don't want to see anyone progress and succeed except themselves the

[15:25]Amana asylum says this is the most evil type of poverty first

[15:29]of all such people don't really enjoy their lives they're always you

[15:36]know going through difficulties and they're on their nerves when someone gets

[15:41]married someone has a child someone buys a house everything agitates them

[15:46]everything disappoints them they just can't be happy for other people first

[15:53]of all these people themselves they're not really happy they're always concerned

[15:56]about others secondly these people in the long term they will harm

[16:05]others in society they talk about them they ruin the reputation of

[16:09]others whenever they get the chance to destroy someone's life they'll take

[16:13]that chance because they don't want to see anyone achieve progress so

[16:18]this is the second type of poverty and the third type of

[16:25]poverty that the imam ali salam speaks about which is not material

[16:31]the a man speaks about religious poverty the one who has abandoned

[16:37]his religion who's abandoned his religious obligations in the eyes of i

[16:43]did not be upon about insulin this person is poor he could

[16:48]have all the money in the world but if he's abandoned god

[16:50]he doesn't have a good relationship with god he's not obeying the

[16:55]commands of god this person is poor what does he have what

[16:59]has he prepared for his oxalá for the hereafter what does he

[17:06]have this sinners poor and the hadith Imam Ali Salaam says and

[17:11]Kurosawa do what chief it during the Imam a nice Aram says

[17:15]the real poverty is to be miserable in this world and on

[17:22]the day of judgement and the one who neglects religious values believe

[17:26]me brothers and sisters this person will be miserable in this world

[17:30]and on the day of judgement our religious values enrich us they

[17:44]enrich our spirit one day a poor man walked to visit an

[17:48]imam asada fan in Salaam his face was gloomy he was upset

[17:53]the Imam realized this man there's something wrong with him the amani

[17:56]salaam asked him what's wrong with you he was one of the

[18:01]companions of an imam sadiq ali Silla he told him Oh Imam

[18:03]you know I'm poor financially I'm struggling I'm going through problems and

[18:08]I'm just not in a good mood not in a good state

[18:12]the imam ali salaam asked him an interesting question the imam told

[18:19]him this faith that you have the Eman that you have the

[18:25]will ayah that you have are you willing to sell it if

[18:28]you could theoretically are you willing to sell it for one hundred

[18:32]thousand golden coins Dean arms are you willing or no now he

[18:40]was a faithful man a good believer he said no of course

[18:46]not I'm not willing the Imam and he said I'm tells him

[18:48]are you sure he says yes I'm sure I'm not willing the

[18:52]Imam Hani Salaam tells him how can you claim that you're poor

[18:56]when you own something that's worth one hundred thousand golden coins and

[19:02]you're not willing to sell it you're poor when you own something

[19:10]so valuable he learned his lesson he realized the lesson that the

[19:14]Imam and his salam was teaching him sallou ala muhammad wari Muhammad

[19:23]the Hani Salaam explained to him you're rich don't consider yourself to

[19:31]be poor you're very rich if you have the love for allah

[19:35]subhanaw taala di handle bait and the proper belief you're very rich

[19:39]because that's what richness is to have faith in allah subhana wa

[19:50]ta'ala and the idol bait peace be upon them and to be

[19:53]only in need to allah subhana wa ta'ala and one interesting hadith

[20:00]prophet ISA audience Allah Jesus peace be upon him he speaks about

[20:04]how humble he is how he doesn't really own anything he says

[20:12]my mode of transportation is what a nice Mercedes no my mode

[20:19]of transportation are my two legs that's how I travel he did

[20:22]not own a horse or a mule to travel he would travel

[20:28]on feet he says my pillow is not a comfortable pillow that

[20:32]we use it's the earth the rocks my bed is the earth

[20:39]my blanket is the sky I sleep under the stars he really

[20:47]didn't own anything he was very very humble but then he says

[20:51]something interesting he says however there is not someone on the face

[20:56]of the planet who's richer than I am there's no one richer

[21:04]than a sadist said I'm during its time because everyone else is

[21:09]in need to this materialistic life except him he was the least

[21:15]one who was in need and that's the true richness and therefore

[21:19]we see imam ali IBN ABI talib al salam beautifully making this

[21:24]door and supplication when he says allah humma listen to the dr

[21:30]amir minion artists and I'm it's truly amazing the words that he

[21:39]uses the meanings that he conveys Allah homogeny been lifted re awake

[21:48]he says o Allah enrich me how by making me in need

[21:57]of you oh allah enrich me by impoverishing me to you and

[22:02]do not make me poor by making me not needing you beautiful

[22:10]doll from the imam you want to be rich be only in

[22:13]need to allah subhana wa ta'ala connect yourself with the source of

[22:19]all richness in the world and you'll be the richest person to

[22:22]be in need only to God not to this materialistic life to

[22:30]your wealth to be gadgets that you own to your car to

[22:34]your house to your bank account only truly feel and need to

[22:37]allah subhanho wa taala that's the true richness imam ali bin ABI

[22:45]talib on his Salam beautifully addresses this type of poverty but this

[22:50]is the first time how about the second type of poverty where

[22:55]someone lacks basic needs is there anything that we can learn from

[23:02]imam ali of nabi Lyla - Salam in this regard and secondly

[23:05]is this really relevant to us I'm sure some of you are

[23:10]wondering okay I don't think there's someone here who's starving who's really

[23:15]poor who's homeless does this really apply to us is this really

[23:19]relevant this is relevant for two reasons mothers and sisters the first

[23:25]reason is that today we have a global challenge of human beings

[23:31]suffering and honestly most of us don't care and we're not doing

[23:40]anything there are 2.8 billion people who live on less than $2

[23:48]a day $2.00 a day 2.8 billion people it's almost like half

[23:53]of the world's population for us $2 is nothing right it's just

[24:00]pocket change but there are people who live on $2 and there

[24:03]are 1.2 billion people today who live on less than $1 a

[24:14]day $1 $30 a month for a whole month all that they

[24:17]can earn is $30 you go to Starbucks or Tim Hortons and

[24:23]you spend easily 3040 dollars with your friends and these people an

[24:30]entire month all they get an urn is $30 every single day

[24:34]brothers and sisters 30,000 children died because of poverty and malnourishment we

[24:44]don't have a responsibility several years ago I read an article in

[24:50]The New York Times about some woman in some of the villages

[24:57]of India in Bombay specifically and it mentioned that in one specific

[25:04]area of bonding 300 woman had to share one bathroom 300 can

[25:10]you can you just imagine that can you imagine these living conditions

[25:17]people are suffering we have a responsibility on the day of judgement

[25:22]Allah subhana WA Ta'ala will hold me accountable what did you do

[25:31]to alleviate the suffering you were busy with your own life comfortable

[25:34]and you didn't care about these people Allah has made us responsible

[25:37]so this is one reason why need to why we need to

[25:43]bring our attention to this point the second reason why this is

[25:46]relevant and this is more important than the first many of us

[25:49]when we think of poverty and people suffering around the world we

[25:54]tell ourselves I'm not responsible I don't make these decisions I'm not

[26:00]running the country I'm not in charge of the World Bank it's

[26:03]not my business I didn't put these people into that situation many

[26:10]people think that but when you analyze your life our consumption our

[26:17]lifestyle we come to the conclusion that all of us brothers and

[26:21]sisters are responsible for the suffering because of the way in which

[26:26]we use our resources we're all responsible with his ancestors Americans spend

[26:34]ten trillion dollars a year shopping when there are people starving around

[26:40]the world we spend ten trillion dollars on shopping and most of

[26:47]the shopping we do we really don't need these days shopping has

[26:51]become a leisure activity you don't go shopping because you really need

[26:55]it you're bored on the weekend you call your friends let's go

[26:58]to the mall and then you end up spending your money there

[27:02]and there are people suffering we're wasting a lot of resources Americans

[27:08]every year spend 91 billion dollars on beer we spent 65 billion

[27:16]dollars on soda and soft drinks 37 billion dollars on gambling 17

[27:24]billion dollars on video games kids playing video games 17 billion dollars

[27:31]just on Valentine's Americans spent 13 billion dollars and just for the

[27:41]flowers of Valentine's Day how much do you think Americans spend just

[27:45]for the flowers forget the candy and other things 1.7 billion dollars

[27:51]now when you factor in the other types of spending that we

[28:02]have the candy the parties the events it's truly mind-boggling now if

[28:06]we were using all these reefs or okay fine at least we

[28:13]could say we're putting it to good use a lot of this

[28:18]is wasted brothers and sisters Americans annually every single year they waste

[28:23]180 billion dollars of food 180 billion do you know how much

[28:33]that is the GDP of tens of countries is not one hundred

[28:36]eighty billion and we're wasting all this food fifty percent of all

[28:45]the food the produce in the US and ZUP in the trash

[28:48]its wasted 30 percent of the food that we buy from the

[28:54]grocery store from Walmart from Meijer wherever you shop from 30 percent

[28:59]of edible food food that's fresh I'm not talking about rotten food

[29:05]that you throw in the trash though we're talking about perfectly fresh

[29:10]food 30 percent of it ends up in the trash don't tell

[29:18]me we're not responsible everyone is responsible when there are millions of

[29:27]people suffering and starving and 30 percent of the food that we

[29:30]buy ends up in the trash a less panettone is not going

[29:37]to hold us accountable if we want to honor the path of

[29:42]amirul mumineen alayhis-salam this man who was so concerned about poverty and

[29:48]he did what he could to eliminate poverty from society then how

[29:53]can we be truly followers of the imam Allanson on this day

[29:59]let us make a commitment with our imam om i'm on this

[30:03]day a lot declared you as a leader for Humanity and you've

[30:08]had so many contributions on this day I will honor your contributions

[30:13]by following into your footsteps the Imam Ali Saddam what he did

[30:20]was nothing short of a miracle within four years he eliminated hunger

[30:24]and starvation in his society more than four years and what four

[30:29]years worthy civil wars attacks everyday controversy controversies and conspiracies every single

[30:41]day against them yet the amantani said I managed to solve the

[30:45]problem of severe poverty we need to introduce him am i leaving

[30:52]ABI talib on Islam to the world what the world to know

[30:55]how the Imam eliminated poverty I will share with you very briefly

[30:59]some steps that Imam Ali bin Abi Talib and his son took

[31:05]in his government during those four years when he ruled the Muslim

[31:10]Ummah to eliminate poverty the first step is very simple the Imam

[31:16]Ali Salaam simply implemented the laws of allah subhanaw taala such as

[31:20]which law allows vanity allah says in the holy quran tell italicum

[31:28]my fill out of the jamia and allah has created for you

[31:32]everyone jemmye and every human being not one royal family every human

[31:39]being Allah has created the resources for everyone all the resources that

[31:47]you find on earth or for people not for a group to

[31:49]hoard them in the government of imam ali IBN ABI talib al

[31:54]salam when it came to the natural resources and even the lands

[31:58]and territories the Imam did not own them he made them available

[32:03]for everyone because the Prophet peace be upon him said Allah Allah

[32:08]Allah Allah monomer AHA land belongs to God and the one who

[32:11]develops it anyone who would go develop a land and the government

[32:17]of the Prophet and imam ali IBN ABI talib on his son

[32:20]he would own this land imagine if today this law would be

[32:23]implemented and it is implemented in the west by the way that's

[32:28]why we see so much economic advancement in the west to an

[32:31]extent this is implemented here but look at the Middle East a

[32:36]country like Saudi Arabia which lives on an ocean of oil and

[32:43]wealth 50% of Saudis they don't own their lands or homes 50%

[32:47]because this law is not implemented and the government of the Imam

[32:54]Hani Salaam this was implemented the Imam would simply oversee that someone

[33:00]would not take more than what they deserve imagine how this could

[33:06]solve the problem of unemployment so many of our youth these days

[33:14]they can't get married they can't own a house imagine if today

[33:17]in many parts of the world the government issues a decree that

[33:21]if you develop a piece of land it's yours you're entitled to

[33:28]it by developing it you think anyone would stay unemployed this will

[33:34]give the youth motivation and an incentive to call and build a

[33:38]house because the land is free it's made available by allah subhanho

[33:44]wa taala and subhanAllah when you go to some V some of

[33:48]some of these countries and cities the city itself is so overpopulated

[33:52]jammed with traffic and pollution and the population density is so high

[33:59]you would think that this country's so small they don't have land

[34:03]the minute you go on the freeway and you leave three minutes

[34:08]later you're in the desert you don't see a single building upon

[34:12]Allah what's going on Allah is giving you all this land and

[34:20]you've jammed yourselves in a small city and now the youth and

[34:24]many people they can't afford to buy property so the Imam Hani

[34:27]Salaam he implemented this the second way in which the imam ali

[34:37]salam combatted poverty when you examine the letter he wrote to his

[34:42]governor Malik Ashtar mallika Lester was the governor where in Egypt the

[34:48]Imam appointed him he writes in a beautiful letter teaching him how

[34:52]to deal with the people and how to run his government he

[34:56]tells him Oh Malik it's a beautiful letter I urge everyone to

[35:02]study this especially our students and college students study the words of

[35:06]your Imam we studied the words of everyone all the scientists psychologists

[35:12]we study them Freud we know all about him and what he

[35:17]said Durkheim in the field of medicine we know all the theories

[35:23]and scientists but when it comes to him I'll even have you

[35:25]thought about it soon and we have no clue what his teachings

[35:30]are study this brothers and sisters the Imam Ali Salaam he tells

[35:36]him Oh Malik Walia Cannavaro kaffir a marital Arif a beloved woman

[35:42]Navarra Kepha stage lab al Hajj he says Oh Monica be more

[35:51]concerned with the development of land then you are concerned with taxing

[35:57]the people yes the government needs to tax the people in order

[36:01]to offer services for the people but Manik don't make that your

[36:07]major concern help the people develop and cultivate their lands because once

[36:11]people develop their lands and they cultivate them automatically you will get

[36:17]tax revenue from the people but don't go oppressing the people and

[36:22]suffocating them and stifling them with high tax and therefore you would

[36:31]stop or slow development if this rule was only implemented brothers and

[36:36]sisters in some parts of the world we would have no issues

[36:38]you would see the economy flourishing so this is the second strategy

[36:43]the third strategy that the Imam Hani Salaam used in combating poverty

[36:49]was the amazing welfare system which he instituted the West is proud

[36:56]for the welfare system that we right especially in some European countries

[37:02]where health care is free to everyone Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

[37:09]and Salaam established the welfare system 14 centuries ago in his letter

[37:15]to Monika Lester he tells him all Malik I want you to

[37:17]focus on a group of people and he mentions them there are

[37:23]three there four or five groups number one religious minorities if someone

[37:29]comes from another religion and they have no support system Oh Malik

[37:33]I want you to give that person income from the muslim treasury

[37:40]you've all heard the famous story of the imam walking and seeing

[37:43]that christian man begging and the imam is asking his companions what

[37:46]is this they tell him oh this is just a christian man

[37:50]begging who cares no big deal the Imam says I did not

[37:54]ask who is he I said what is this and my government

[37:56]someone begs why is he begging there like he's unemployed he's jobless

[38:02]and he has no one to support him the Imam says no

[38:04]that's not how you treat him now that he's grown old and

[38:07]weak and he can't help himself now you abandon him and he

[38:15]instructs them to give him a wage from the public funds religious

[38:18]minorities number two the disabled people you know these days were very

[38:24]proud of the services offered to people with disabilities Imam Ali I've

[38:31]never thought of 14 centuries ago he tells my little Ashtar all

[38:35]those people who are disabled they have a medical condition they can't

[38:41]work they're struggling I want you to give them income from the

[38:47]public funds who else a woman who's either divorced and has no

[38:52]one to spend on her as a widow her husband died or

[38:56]she's married but she's got a bad husband who's not spending on

[39:01]her the Imam Mahdi's salam tells Malik Oh Monica make sure that

[39:08]you go and investigate in society and if there is such a

[39:10]woman I want you to give her a salary from the public

[39:16]funds if there is someone who is in debt he's stuck in

[39:20]debt and he can't get himself out of debt help him Oh

[39:25]Manik this is the welfare system that the Imam Annie's Salaam implemented

[39:30]so this is this third strategy the fourth strategy that the Imam

[39:36]alehissalaam used in combating poverty brothers and sisters and I'm going through

[39:41]these very briefly is that the Imam alayhis-salam he equally distributed the

[39:50]resources of his government something no government has been able to do

[39:55]in history except his government and the government of the Holy Prophet

[40:02]Muhammad sallallahu aleyhi wa it's the justice of imam ali if not

[40:09]be a taliban in salaam when it comes to distributing the resources

[40:15]of society and this is why alia be upon him was fought

[40:20]because not everyone wants justice there are some groups who believe they're

[40:28]superior to others they want more Oh Ali how dare you equate

[40:34]us with others and you give us the same no this is

[40:37]not acceptable it's the justice of Imam Ali have you thought about

[40:41]a is Salaam that created enemies for him people who were concerned

[40:46]about their selfish interests they rejected the justice of Amir al-mumineen alehissalaam

[40:54]now unfortunately the leaders and the caliphs who ruled before Imam Ali

[41:00]admire be upon the bodies Salam they created social stratification and they

[41:08]made certain groups more privileged than others and so when the a

[41:15]man came and he changed that many groups were upset yes when

[41:18]you look at the life of the second Khalifa Omar abdul-fattah we

[41:22]see that in his government he did not destroy the money equally

[41:27]no there were some people he would give them special attention the

[41:33]Prophet had several wives nine wives or twelve wives he singled out

[41:40]two of them I shan't Hafsah he gave them a salary more

[41:45]than others wine what was this based on is it his father's

[41:48]money for him to decide whom he should give more than others

[41:53]mom an even have you thought about Islam rejected this he says

[41:57]no all the wives of the Prophet they're equal they get the

[42:02]same salary some didn't like it this was a problem but has

[42:05]obey Abdul Rahman even Alf why do you think these companions turned

[42:09]against him I'm Ali because when Earth man was in power when

[42:14]Rama was in power they would get more they had a larger

[42:17]share of the resources and the money that was being distributed when

[42:22]imam ali IBN ABI talib and his salaam came he ended them

[42:26]they came to him o ali so-and-so would give us more but

[42:29]you're equating us with others you're giving me as much as you

[42:34]give that african slave the Imam says in God's eyes you're all

[42:37]equal you're all humans why should I give you more based on

[42:44]what should I give you more and this agitated many of them

[42:48]and they rejected the Justice of Imam Ali Maradona bodies but in

[42:55]doing so the Imam made sure that no one sleeps hungry he

[43:00]eliminated severe deprivation starvation and poverty another strategy that the Imam alehissalaam

[43:12]used in combating poverty was that he was very careful the government

[43:18]employees that he would bring to his government the Imam had very

[43:23]strict standards not anyone could work first of all one of the

[43:26]qualities the Imam Ali as salaam had stipulated for those who would

[43:32]work for the government is that you had to be generous the

[43:34]Imam does not want stingy people coming to power because he knows

[43:38]when you bring someone who stingy to power he'll hoard everything for

[43:43]himself and he'll deny the people number two they should be qualified

[43:48]educated when you look at some countries today in the world they've

[43:55]got a lot of resources a lot of money but what's their

[43:58]problem lack of qualifications people who are not qualified not educated they

[44:04]don't know what they're doing they're running the country the amount eliminated

[44:09]that in his government number three we see that one of the

[44:13]qualities the Imam and a Salaam made sure that he imposed on

[44:16]government employees is that they should not lean towards a group or

[44:24]look after the interests of a specific group and he would outlaw

[44:28]any form of bribery you know today it's interesting in our Western

[44:36]society yes bribery is illegal if you bribe a politician and the

[44:43]you know officials find out about it it's illegal but we have

[44:47]another type of bribery with a different name and that's what's running

[44:52]our country what is it lobbying and campaign contributions subhanAllah we just

[44:59]changed the word bribery to campaign contributions you know not this last

[45:04]election but the previous one Americans spent six billion dollars on campaign

[45:12]contributions on the elections what do you call that if that's not

[45:17]bribery than what is bribery if there's someone who comes to a

[45:21]government official and he's donated a million dollars you think that official

[45:25]can say no if any corporation comes and donates ten million dollars

[45:30]you think those government officials elected officials they can say no to

[45:34]them and I might even have you thought about he said I'm

[45:38]outlawed all of that this was unacceptable in his government and one

[45:43]of the beautiful fantastic things that the Imam implemented in his government

[45:49]is that he would recruit spies yes spies righteous truthful spies on

[46:01]who under citizens the poor miss keen citizen on whom the Imam

[46:07]tells Malik Ashtar I want you to go and find qualified competent

[46:11]truthful spies and I want these spies to spy on my government

[46:18]officials not the people in the government of Imam Ali no government

[46:23]official had the authority to spy on people this was outlawed in

[46:29]his government the spies were used to monitor the government officials and

[46:35]employees to make sure that they were not oppressing the people this

[46:40]is Ali of navya Thani Bani his Sinha and finally brothers and

[46:44]sisters we see the frugality the humbleness of the Imam and not

[46:53]wasting any resources you know the Imam wrote a letter to all

[46:56]his governors and government employees he told them sharpen your pens see

[47:02]how specific the Imam is today we talk about the environment and

[47:06]being green and not wasting my money on your son I did

[47:10]it 14 centuries ago he tells them sharpen your pens so you're

[47:14]writing because back then you know to get a piece of paper

[47:20]was very costly even pens were costly the Imam told them sharpen

[47:24]your pens so that your writing would be small and you could

[47:27]fit more writing on the paper and the lines in which you

[47:33]write and make sure their clotheslines don't leave any gaps these were

[47:38]the instructions of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib and his son to

[47:43]his government officials a typical a Kalama comb what are abou bein

[47:47]a suit or a comb what are they for underneath for luenell

[47:51]Koran and the Imam tells them when you write a letter for

[47:56]me get to the point no need for an introduction no need

[48:01]for anything that's not necessary get to the point tell me what

[48:04]you need communicate to me what's going on in your Terry taury

[48:07]the Imam and his Salaam that's how he eliminated poverty by not

[48:15]wasting any resources this is Amir al-mumineen alayhis-salam who would stand on

[48:22]the member on the pulpit on Friday and he would hold his

[48:25]cloak and he would flap it and flutter it with the wing

[48:31]a young boy was sitting was a with his father he tells

[48:32]her father what does not even have you tired of doing why

[48:35]is he waving his clothes like that he said I don't know

[48:39]let's ask him when the sermon is over they go to a

[48:42]meal and many non Eason and they ask him Oh commander of

[48:45]the faithful my son is curious he wants to know why you're

[48:48]doing this as you were speaking you were waving your clothes fluttering

[48:56]them waving them why the Imam honey Sinan told him oh man

[49:01]I have one garment and today is Friday I washed my garment

[49:09]I did not have time for my garment to dry so I

[49:11]wore it while it was still wet and I was as I

[49:16]was giving the sermon I was drying my clothes this is a

[49:22]leave never thought it this is why we follow him on the

[49:24]other hand history marriage this I'm not making this up history narrates

[49:31]that when the third Khalifa was killed when he died he left

[49:35]behind him in his personal account they didn't have a bank account

[49:39]then but in his personal Treasury he left 8 million golden coins

[49:45]back then with a golden coin you could buy a sheep you

[49:50]do the math that's about half a billion dollars in today's value

[49:53]and today's currency who am i going to follow someone who left

[50:00]8 million golden coins or the one who had one garment this

[50:07]is our leader this is our Imam brothers and sisters we ask

[50:11]allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to bless us on this day by bringing us

[50:18]by bringing us closer to the path of any romanian salawa to

[50:22]lie money to give us the trophy for the success to implement

[50:27]the teachings of the imam ali salaam especially the strategies of the

[50:33]imam in combating poverty once again I congratulate you my dear brothers

[50:38]and sisters on this blessed occasion of Eid al-adha dear may Allah

[50:42]bless all of you all of your families keep you all safe
