[14:16][Music] Alhamdulillah.

[14:32]Subhan Allah.

[14:42][Music] for [Music] [Music] expected to share.

[15:16]Elders, brothers and sisters, yesterday we commemorated the shahada anniversary of Muhammad.

[15:30][Music] >> There's one that we perhaps missed out which allows us

[15:38]to link it very well to the occasion today.

[15:40]In the holy Quran you will find Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala recounts

[15:44]how all of the prophets of Allah said something in unison.

[15:48]You found for example in he says oh my community I do

[15:56]not ask from you any wealth my reward is with Allah subhanahu

[16:03]wa ta'ala or for example when he comes to his people what

[16:06]does he say inallah I do not ask from you any reward

[16:20]my reward is with Allah inah What does say and he is

[16:25]rightly guided.

[16:26]All of the prophets came and said, "I do not ask from

[16:29]you any reward." Yet Allah doesn't ask for a reward.

[16:35]Allah was ordered to ask for a reward.

[16:44]Every prophet came and all of them said, "I do not ask

[16:48]any reward from you.

[16:50]My reward was with Allah." But Allah said, "Oh Allah, you are

[16:53]different.

[16:54]You I will command you to ask them from a reward because

[16:57]for what you have given them, they have to reward you with

[17:02]one thing and that is there's a beautiful narration I found in

[17:06]the of the Sunni scholar.

[17:10]It is found in our books as well.

[17:12]It's a very lengthy but beautiful narration.

[17:15]It is narrated that it is said he who dies with the

[17:25]love of Al Muhammad he dies with his sins being forgiven.

[17:31]As for the one who dies on the love of Al Muhammad,

[17:34]he dies as a man who was repentant to Allah subhanahu wa

[17:39]ta'ala.

[17:46]As for the one who dies on the love of Al Muhammad,

[17:50]Allah opens for him in his grave two doors towards Jenna.

[18:04]As for the one who dies on the love of Alhamdul gives

[18:08]him the good news of Jenna then two angels that question you

[18:14]in the grave they also give you the glad tidings of Jenna.

[18:22]As for the one who dies on the love of Aluhammed, he

[18:26]dies with his im being complete.

[18:32]As for the one who dies on the hatred of Aluhammed, he

[18:43]will come on and it will be written on his forehead between

[18:48]his eyes that he despared of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa

[18:55]ta'ala.

[18:59]As for the one who dies on the hatred of Al Muhammad,

[19:03]he dies as a this is the significance of the love of

[19:17]>> that love which was so vital for us as Muslim and

[19:20]that today we call ourselves because we held on to this love

[19:26]of Bates.

[19:25]You'll find when you go to the debates or the questions or

[19:30]the letters of the imams from the seventh Imam downwards, you will

[19:33]find whenever somebody asks them a question, they will slip this point

[19:37]in first.

[19:38]You find there is a letter found in a beautiful book of

[19:43]narrations of the before he appoints imar he asks him a question.

[19:49]He says can you outline for me the halal and the haram?

[19:51]Im begins by saying we understand from the um that there is

[19:58]an acceptance that Allah left behind two weighty things and therefore those

[20:01]who opposed or went against or did not listen to the family

[20:04]of the holy prophet of Islam we believe they have gone outside

[20:09]the fall of Islam.

[20:09]Therefore they ask questions like this what is halal and what is

[20:14]haram because had they followed these individuals they would never be asking

[20:16]these questions.

[20:18]They would have the answers already.

[20:20]You find whenever they were asked these questions imi im they would

[20:24]always slip in this point the um accepts that he says very

[20:37]clearly I leave behind two weighty things the Quran and they will

[20:44]not leave each other until they meet at the of kar meaning

[20:48]we have to hold on to both of them, the Quran and

[20:52]the Bates.

[20:54]And when you hold on to the you find what does the

[20:56]say he dies with his im being complete.

[21:05]What does this mean?

[21:05]It means that when you have the true love of B in

[21:10]your heart, you have the ability or the capacity to attain the

[21:13]completion of im because without there will always be deficiencies in this

[21:18]im of yours.

[21:20]There will always be some things that you cannot answer without the

[21:24]B because they were the centers of knowledge.

[21:28]You find this is where you find [Music] As many of you

[21:39]may know, one of his titles was Muhammad.

[21:42]Interestingly, we would think Imak would be al Muhammad.

[21:44]But actually, Imm was the one who was known as the of

[21:49]Al Muhammad because he had the ability to debate with people far

[21:52]and wide.

[21:53]People of all different languages and backgrounds such that people would see

[21:57]people come to him from a different lands speaking in different languages.

[22:00]and I im would answer in their language.

[22:03]You found the zindik, the atheist and even the Christian and the

[22:07]Hindu would come and debate with Im.

[22:09]You find a very interesting debate for example of an atheist with

[22:14]Imam Ala.

[22:16]The atheist comes or the man of confusion, a man of doubt

[22:18]comes to Im and he says that who is this Lord that

[22:23]you believe in?

[22:22]He says we believe in the Lord who is infinite and he

[22:26]is beyond any limits and beyond any understanding.

[22:29]man comes and says I do not understand this lord of yours.

[22:32]If he is beyond any limits and beyond any understanding then he

[22:35]is surely cannot be anything and therefore I cannot believe in him

[22:39]because I can only believe in something that I can understand and

[22:44]I can perceive.

[22:43]Imm said the fact that he is beyond our understanding is the

[22:48]reason I believe in him because the second I can perceive him

[22:51]he is no longer a god worthy of worship but the fact

[22:55]I cannot understand him truly is the reason why we bowed down

[22:58]to him in sjud the man became perplexed he said explain to

[23:02]me more he said you have asked you wanted to perceive God

[23:05]but he you are asking how is God but God was there

[23:10]when there was no concept of how God created the concept of

[23:13]how when something creates the concept he is over or above that

[23:16]concept.

[23:17]Therefore, if you cannot ask how is God rather he is the

[23:21]owner of that concept.

[23:22]The man said then when was God when did God exist.

[23:25]Imam Ruda said something beautiful.

[23:27]He said tell me when God did not exist and I will

[23:31]tell you when he existed.

[23:31]Tell me when God was not there when there was not this

[23:34]being there that created everything and that was in charge of everything

[23:39]and I'll answer your question.

[23:41]The narration say this man says Truly where do we find answers

[23:55]like this like this except from the imams of therefore when you

[23:58]have the love of and you dive into their traditions you will

[24:00]find that you have the capacity and ability to be complete in

[24:07]your im and without the there will always be certain answers or

[24:10]certain questions you can never truly answer.

[24:13]On top of this, you find Imam has a further distinction and

[24:18]a further need in the um and this is still being again

[24:21]by [Music] you know normally when we explain im we explain it

[24:32]in a very simple theological way.

[24:34]We believe in the imams because we believe in divine appointment finished

[24:40]says let's go a step further understand im differently he says imm

[24:47]is the reigns of the religion if religion is like a horse

[24:53]that needs to be run and needs to be uh run along

[24:56]its route the reigns of that horse that which controls the religion

[25:00]and allows it to run is im you know in the Friday

[25:02]sermon when we send the salam upon the IM of the time,

[25:06]IM.

[25:13]We say he through his whose existence the whole entire existence is

[25:30]able to exist.

[25:33]He with whom we will And through his existence, the earth and

[25:38]the heavens find their their stability.

[25:42]Meaning the reason why we exist today is because the imam is

[25:48]is in existence.

[25:47]Because if there was no the earth would perish to exist as

[25:52]it is said in the traditions that we believe in our school

[25:54]of thoughts, the imam is the reason we are here.

[25:57]When you wake up in the morning, you say alhamdulillah.

[26:01]But you say alhamdulillah that the im is still in existence that

[26:04]allowed me this chance to exist.

[26:10]The im is the reason the religion has any control and the

[26:17]organization of the Muslim comes from the im.

[26:20]When you have true leadership that's when the Muslim gain organization you

[26:26]know [Music] She says a very similar concept in her sermon of

[26:38]she says that our or our im was there to control is

[26:44]there as a organization for the countries and our was there to

[26:50]keep you away from separation and unite you.

[26:55]This is why in we come to Im Hussein and say The

[27:00]Im the flag of Im is the reason we are able to

[27:05]unite under that flag of im.

[27:06]The im or the is the reason why we are able to

[27:10]come together and say there is a bond that strengthens the brotherhood

[27:13]thicker than blood.

[27:15]And that is the bond of willlaya.

[27:17]The bond of Islam.

[27:21]This bond of this this this unity under the leadership of B

[27:23]is that which keeps us united.

[27:25]And what how true is it what Fatim Zahar said when she

[27:29]said that was there to stop you from separating.

[27:32]What was the cause of our ummah separating from the day after

[27:35]the holy prophet was made shahid those who turned away from the

[27:38]wlayah they are the one who split this um into pieces and

[27:42]from day one let them not tell you oh you know you

[27:46]are creating these fkas today.

[27:46]No, from day one when the first and the second came and

[27:49]there were civil wars and there were the wars and there were

[27:53]people who were destroyed from day one.

[27:55]All of this started from there from the time of them there

[27:57]were theological issues.

[27:59]There were theological schools.

[28:00]All of it started from that one day.

[28:05]The day after the shahada of Muhammad Sam and even till today

[28:15]look at the nidam of the Muslim under imama even if you

[28:19]look at the situation in the Middle East which countries have done

[28:22]the most for that country Yemen Iran Lebanon Where are the Arab

[28:34]countries?

[28:35]Where is the petro dollars and the trillions of and Egypt and

[28:39]etc.

[28:38]Everyone that has done something for injustice is a a country that

[28:44]is under the understanding and the leadership of im.

[28:47]Any country that has done anything is a country that has the

[28:53]guidance of a an understanding of a hierarchy of leadership.

[28:56]We should be proud that we are willati that we are people

[29:02]of because it is our leadership that allows us to understand truth

[29:05]from falsehood, justice from injustice and how to fight against injustice because

[29:09]we have the leadership of the Im of says an organization for

[29:25]the Muslim on the side.

[29:27]We should remind ourselves that as believers, if we have grudges with

[29:30]people, we should remember we are under the flag of we need

[29:34]to work on these issues.

[29:35]We should not have differences or things that hold us apart from

[29:40]a fellow brother in faith.

[29:40]You go to and you see those did those have problems with

[29:46]one another?

[29:45]Does those have issues with one another?

[29:48]I can't sit next to him.

[29:51]I can't stand next to him in salah.

[29:53]No.

[29:52]These were people who are united under the banner of wlayah.

[29:56]And if we want to be under the leadership of the imam

[30:00]of our time, we need to be individuals like this.

[30:02]Strong in our brotherhood, strong in our love for our brother in

[30:08]faith, strong in our unity in our communities.

[30:08]Because this is united communities that formed a strong foundation and fountain

[30:12]hold for the im of our time.

[30:17][Music] Then I carries on.

[30:24]He says, "And the honor of the believer lies in the im."

[30:32]The honor of the believer, the true, that which gives us our

[30:35]self-worth, that which gives us our confidence in life lies in the

[30:41]fact that we know we have a leader, we have an imam,

[30:43]we know our direction.

[30:45]Ask anyone from the other schools of thoughts who don't have an

[30:51]leader or an im who is your im you know we are

[30:53]told who is your imam today the responses are confused all over

[31:03]the place you ask them where do you get your from and

[31:07]subhan allah you get very multicolored answers some people have one school

[31:11]of some people say we take all schools of some people say

[31:13]we go to the local im of jam But yet we know

[31:17]we have a leadership.

[31:19]We have a hierarchy.

[31:21]We have a derivation that goes back to [Music] and in fact

[31:33]D proved this better than Im because I im was the one

[31:38]who had a series of narrations known as the golden chain narrations.

[31:43]those narrations where I im what would he say?

[31:44]He said I would hear my father imam say that he heard

[31:51]his father say that he heard his father Muhammad Ali say that

[31:56]he heard his father Ali Hussein say that he heard his father

[32:02]say that he heard his father say that he heard from that

[32:08]he heard from and that he heard from Allah The traditions known

[32:20]as the golden train traditions.

[32:21]We know that the Imama gives us this chain back to Allah.

[32:28]An authentic chain back to Allah.

[32:30]A chain like no other.

[32:30]A chain that they say that if you recite this chain on

[32:35]a dead it would come alive.

[32:36]A chain like no other chain.

[32:37]And so I im explains I imama in a different light.

[32:43]Don't just think of im of the im sorry as imama as

[32:44]this theological concept.

[32:47]I must I believe in it.

[32:49]No imama is a necessity for the um IM is a necessity

[32:54]not just for the um no let's go a step further.

[32:55]Imama is a necessity for humankind.

[32:59]You know he says in the Quran surah 17:71 Allah says on

[33:09]that day we will call every tribe every community.

[33:14]Did Allah say we will call every Muslim by their im?

[33:18]Did Allah say we will call every by their im?

[33:22]No.

[33:29][Music] As for those who receive the book in their right hand,

[33:34]they will read their books and they will have no injustice at

[33:36]all.

[33:43]As for those who are blind in this, they will be blind

[33:47]in that and even more astray.

[33:48]What is Allah saying?

[33:51]Allah is saying we'll call everyone by their imam.

[33:52]Some people recognize their imam.

[33:54]So they receive their book in their right hand.

[33:57]Others don't know who their imam is.

[33:59]It is as if they are blind in this dunya.

[34:02]Those people atheistic you know they say I don't believe in religion.

[34:06]Allah says they say they don't believe in religion.

[34:10]They don't believe in anything.

[34:10]They have an im.

[34:13]That imam might be their professor.

[34:15]That imam might be their MP.

[34:16]He might be their president.

[34:17]You know you've seen this before.

[34:18]You will see those who come and for example attack the White

[34:22]House because of their allegiance to a certain president.

[34:24]Those who for example come out in throves for certain political parties

[34:30]in this country.

[34:33]Why?

[34:34]Because everyone has an imam.

[34:35]Everyone has a being they look up to as a role model.

[34:37]Everyone has a system through which they understand everything.

[34:41]No one gains thoughts from thin air.

[34:44]You know this idea of I'm a free thinker.

[34:46]Yeah, you might be free to think how you think, but your

[34:48]thoughts come from somewhere.

[34:49]Your ideas are planted into your mind from somewhere.

[34:53]It could be family guy, for example, for some people.

[34:56]For other people, it could be, I don't know, friends.

[34:58]For other people, it could be what was that Sheldon?

[35:03]That guy, you know, yeah, for for some people it's TV shows.

[35:06]Their ideas come from here.

[35:08]For other people, yes, they might watch, you know, documentaries, conspiracy theories.

[35:12]Everyone has somewhere where their thoughts and their ideas come from.

[35:16]Allah is saying don't be under any illusion.

[35:24]On that day, everyone will be called by their imam.

[35:26]Everyone will be called by their leader.

[35:28]Because everyone has a leader whether they perceive it or not, whether

[35:32]they think it or not, whether they like it or not, because

[35:36]everyone has somewhere where they lean on to get their understanding of

[35:40]life and live their life.

[35:41]But we choose where to get our understandings.

[35:44]This is where says it is the honor of the believer of

[35:52]the because it is their honor that they know that their leadership

[35:55]comes from a divinely appointed system from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[36:00]This is imama as explained to us by im To finish this

[36:14]lecture, allow me to give you just one narration from Imam Ala

[36:19]to again bring the strength of IM into our hearts.

[36:21]We've understood the importance of im and how this completes our im.

[36:28]IMA has a beautiful tradition about im.

[36:31]He says im rests upon four pillars.

[36:35]Now before we go to these four pillars, what is imah says

[36:39]in the Quran in the verse I recited in the Arabs came

[36:46]to Allah and they said we believe the context here is there

[36:50]was a tribe after the conquest of Mecca that would come to

[36:52]the holy prophet they would sayool Allah we are in need we

[36:54]need and we believe we have imah said the Arabs come to

[37:03]you and they say we believe Allah says Say to them, you

[37:08]do not believe.

[37:14]You simply submit has not yet entered into that heart.

[37:19]Meaning there are individuals who say but Allah has not settled in

[37:28]that heart yet.

[37:26]There are people who say But the belief in Allah has not

[37:42]settled in that heart.

[37:42]There are people that say but Allah has not settled in that

[37:49]heart.

[37:47]Therefore, Islam and im are different.

[37:50]Islam is attestation with the tongue.

[37:55]Im is belief in the heart and actions by the limbs.

[37:57]Because im is when those those words from the tongue settle in

[38:01]the heart.

[38:02]It's when we think through those concepts of and im we allow

[38:07]them to settle in the heart and then we call our is

[38:09]why again im when talks about im he doesn't say he says

[38:17]it is the honor for those who have recognized their faith not

[38:21]the honor for those who claim to have faith the honor for

[38:24]those who recognize their faith.

[38:27]So imman is when somebody has this faith but he's also internalized

[38:32]it.

[38:33]He recognizes the need for the belief in Allah.

[38:34]He recognizes that there is one god and there is no god

[38:39]but Allah.

[38:40]He recognizes the brilliance and the magnificence of Allah and the necessity

[38:43]of the of he recognizes these things with the heart and therefore

[38:49]he begins to try and act upon these these attestations.

[38:51]He tries to act upon these.

[38:53]This is a mu and im is very interestingly described when it

[38:59]comes to our relationship with Allah.

[39:01]He has a book called the philosophy of Islam and he explains

[39:06]im from a more linguistic for form and he gives a very

[39:08]interesting definition.

[39:10]He says im if you go to classical Arabic it refers to

[39:15]a baby that clings to the breast of its mother.

[39:18]Now as you know the scientific studies show a baby when it

[39:23]is born and it is crying if you put it by the

[39:26]bre of its mother suddenly its hormones calm down.

[39:28]It clings to the breast of its mother and it feels happy.

[39:32]It feels comfortable.

[39:32]If it is crying you know you give it to the mother

[39:36]you put it by the mother's chest.

[39:37]It starts to feel comfortable.

[39:38]I is when somebody clings to Allah like a baby clings to

[39:45]the chest of its mother.

[39:46]In the same way a baby has completely does a baby understand

[39:51]anything.

[39:52]Does a baby try and trust anything outside of the chest of

[39:55]its mother?

[39:57]No.

[39:57]Is when a believer fully envelops himself in the love of Allah

[40:02]subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[40:04]Now he clings to no one except Allah.

[40:06]The im in explaining this he gives us four pillars.

[40:08]He says trusting in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[40:16]What is under the verse of the Quran in surah 3 verse

[40:21]160?

[40:28]If Allah helps you, then who can defeat you?

[40:31]And if Allah forsakes you, then who will help you after Allah?

[40:39]And upon Allah do the Mins rely under this verse of the

[40:44]Quran in the of enlightening commentary.

[40:45]It is narrated there is a narration that's found widely in the

[40:50]books whereas asks what is says is when a person recognizes that

[40:56]nobody can harm him or benefit him except Allah nobody holds any

[41:03]good and any evil for him except Allah and he suffices himself

[41:06]with this understanding therefore he trusts no one except Allah subhanahu wa

[41:11]ta'ala in his life is when you recognize who is there except

[41:15]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for me to rely on in life in

[41:21]everything that I do in everything big and small he is enough

[41:27]for him now in the linguistic formul is when you make somebody

[41:32]somebody an agent for you you know the I like to differentiate

[41:39]it from is when you basically say I'm giving you my task

[41:42]you go and do it for me I have nothing no interest

[41:45]in it whatsoever.

[41:46]We know we can't do that with Allah.

[41:48]We can't say, "Ya Allah, I'm looking for a job.

[41:49]I leave it to you.

[41:50]I'm going to sit at home and inshallah the job's going to

[41:52]come through the post box." We cannot do is when we make

[41:58]Allah an agent or make Allah the one we trust.

[42:01]So we do our efforts, we tie our camel as the narration

[42:05]says, but we trust in Allah to complete our affairs.

[42:09]As we start doing, what do we understand?

[42:13]We understand that all good and all everything lies in the hands

[42:15]of Allah.

[42:17]I can only try my best the rest is all in the

[42:21]hands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[42:23]As you start to do this more and more and more the

[42:25]say there is a level higher and I im says this is

[42:29]the second pillar of iman Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says inahm surah

[42:36]40:44 and I entrust my affairs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what

[42:48]is when you do so much that you start to recognize that

[42:51]not only are the results built in Allah's hands but my ability

[42:55]to do anything is also in the hands of Allah subhanahu wa

[42:58]ta'ala on the first level you're trying you're tying your camel you're

[43:01]doing everything and you're saying ya Allah complete this for me ya

[43:04]Allah the result is in your hand I've tried my best is

[43:09]when you recognize no even me trying my best required Allah subhanahu

[43:13]wa ta'ala because oh mankind you are completely in need of Allah

[43:21]Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[43:23]You know there's that beautiful dua taught to us by im [Music]

[43:38]oh my lord I have come to you this evening as a

[43:41]a servant who is a beast.

[43:44]I control not for myself any good nor evil.

[43:57]I bear witness of this against myself and I recognize the weakness

[44:03]of my strategies and the littleness of my abilities because can I

[44:07]really lift a finger without the permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

[44:11]Can I even breathe without the ability and permission granted by Allah

[44:17]subhanahu wa ta'ala?

[44:17]The more you recognize this, you move from just to I recognize

[44:25]everything comes from you.

[44:26]So even in trying, I trust you and in the results I

[44:32]trust you.

[44:33]The second pillar of im that enveloping oneself in Allah subhanahu wa

[44:38]ta'ala and tough wheels.

[44:40]You know these two concepts were beautifully explained by one story one

[44:44]once said.

[44:45]He said there was a story of a daughter and her father.

[44:47]They were walking past a bridge.

[44:49]Now the bridge the structure was very weak and the wind was

[44:55]coming quite strongly.

[44:54]So the bridge was shaking at this time.

[44:57]The father said, "My daughter, hold my hand." The daughter said, "No,

[45:02]father, you hold my hand." The father said, "Oh my daughter, what's

[45:05]the difference?" The daughter said, "My father, my grip is weak.

[45:11]If I hold your hand, I might slip.

[45:14]Your grip is stronger.

[45:14]You you are less likely to let go of me.

[45:18]Say is like this.

[45:21]It's not you holding on to Allah.

[45:24]It's you saying, "Yeah, Allah, you hold on to me because my

[45:26]grip is weak, but your grip never slips." This is tough.

[45:32]Envelope yourself in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[45:36]The third pillar of im was what?

[45:38]Tim.

[45:39]Now tim comes from the same word Islam.

[45:42]We move from Islam which is the attestation of faith to im

[45:48]having faith come into the heart.

[45:50]Then you move a step higher towards.

[45:53]What's tim is now that you've recognized Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and

[45:58]you believe in him in your heart.

[46:00]Now you submit to everything Allah has commanded you.

[46:02]Whether you like it or you don't.

[46:07]You submit anything and everything Allah wants from you.

[46:12]you submit.

[46:14]Yes, it might be difficult sometimes.

[46:15]You might be about to sign a business deal and they put

[46:17]alcohol in the table and you have to tell them, "I can't

[46:21]sit at this table anymore." It might be you're about to accept

[46:23]that job offer and the female puts her hand out to shake

[46:27]and you're like, "I'm not allowed to shake your hand." And she

[46:30]says, "Maybe the job offer will go." But you need to be

[46:31]strong in your im.

[46:34]But you you submit to the will of Allah again because now

[46:41]that you have and you recognize all goods is in the hands

[46:43]of Allah.

[46:44]All I can do is submit to everything Allah wants from me

[46:46]because I trust everything he has is better than me for what

[46:51]I think.

[46:54]And then the final pillar of IM was what?

[46:59]Who do we commemorate today?

[47:03]Imi the one who is test satisfied with the decree of Allah

[47:09]subhanahu wa ta'ala you know there's times in our life we start

[47:12]to hate the decree of Allah ya Allah why was I born

[47:17]in this family why was I born in this difficult circumstance why

[47:21]was I born in this era why couldn't I born in an

[47:23]easier era where things were calmer and more relaxed why was I

[47:28]born for example in this town or in this city or for

[47:30]example sometimes the circumstance ances of life are difficult for us.

[47:34]We are in a job.

[47:34]We've started a business.

[47:34]It was going well and suddenly it crashes.

[47:36]Ya Allah, why me?

[47:40]Why did this have to happen to me?

[47:43]The satisfaction with Allah's decree is when you recognize everything that Allah

[47:47]throws at you at life is good for you.

[47:50]This is why when I im Hussein [Music] Well, before going not,

[48:05]we're not going into m just yet.

[48:07]He holds the six-month old lifeless baby in his arms and he

[48:09]says, "That which makes this easy for me is to know that

[48:17]Allah is watching." Then he goes back to the mother of this

[48:21]baby and before going back to her, he walks back and forth

[48:23]seven times saying what?

[48:30]What?

[48:32]There's two pillars of satisfied with Allah's decree.

[48:37]Submissive to his demand to to his command.

[48:40]Satisfied with his decree.

[48:43]He has decreed this for me.

[48:45]I'm satisfied.

[48:46]I had no control over it.

[48:47]I've done everything that I could do in Allah's permission.

[48:50]Satisfied with his decree.

[48:52]But submissive to his command.

[48:55]Now that this has happened, I don't despair.

[48:57]This has happened, I don't turn away from Allah's command.

[48:59]You know, when life gets difficult, sometimes we start to question our

[49:03]faith, question Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[49:06]You found that the harder life got, the more stronger their iman

[49:11]got despite all that happened, she sits down and recites.

[49:18]After everything she went through, she sits down and still speaks to

[49:23]Allah inatah is not waj.

[49:25]But yet on the most difficult nights of her life, she sits

[49:29]down to speak to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[49:32]Why?

[49:33]Because no matter how difficult life gets, they understand.

[49:38]Envelope yourself in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[49:43]Submit to Allah's command.

[49:46]satisfied with Allah's decree.

[49:49]When you're satisfied with Allah's decree, life becomes a lot easier.

[49:53]Yes, you'll still have those difficulties, but the way you look at

[49:56]them will be diff different.

[49:57]When your business is not doing well and you need to do

[50:02]something to sort it out, you can be upset and annoyed by

[50:04]your circumstances and go with that that feeling or you can smile

[50:08]and say, "Allah must have something better." And with that positivity, face

[50:12]that challenge of yours.

[50:15]When you face it with positivity, you will find it is much

[50:18]easier to face than when you face it with that negativity.

[50:22]And where does positivity come from except from the one in whose

[50:25]hand is all good?

[50:28]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[50:29]And that's why it's so important to have he was taken from

[50:35]land to land under this idea of being the apparent he was

[50:38]taken from land to land from Medina to Marov to Qurasan to

[50:44]all these lands by himself with an entourage.

[50:47]He could not see his family.

[50:49]He was you know restricted with his companions basically under arrest but

[50:56]as an air apparent but im was known as never was he

[51:01]seen complaining against Allah rather you go to the books and the

[51:03]narrations and you see how he worshiped Allah so heavily.

[51:07]You see how he worshiped Allah so readily.

[51:10]Many of the hadith we get about the ideas of come from

[51:13]im.

[51:14]The idea of and making sure you sayahillah from the depths of

[51:21]your hearts comes from [Music] and today we commemorate how albi he

[51:35]started to become threatened by ima's in growing influence alm he used

[51:41]to get scholars to come and debate I im but no scholar

[51:43]could ever challenge challenge ima in their understandings.

[51:48]Im's influence started to go so strong that one day he was

[51:51]ordered to give he warned them and said you don't want me

[51:54]to give salat you will not enjoy it but they said no

[51:59]we insist the narration say he came out on with his turban

[52:04]and with his bare feet he walked in the city reciting and

[52:06]the people followed him and the was so strong that the walls

[52:11]of the city began to shake such that the khif had to

[52:13]call him back and stop his because he was scared said if

[52:19]he had completed that his own would be toppled.

[52:20]This was the influence of Im the worship and the strength of

[52:26]Imam could not no longer bear it and in the land of

[52:29]he would administer some poison into some grapes.

[52:33]He would go to Imam and he would say I have never

[52:39]tasted grapes as good as these grapes.

[52:40]The narration says, "Oh, I'm sure there are grapes in your garden

[52:44]just as nice as these on these ones." But says, "Oh, no,

[52:49]you have to try these grapes.

[52:50]These grapes are the best of grapes." The narrations say as Imm

[52:55]eats the grapes, he begins to feel sick.

[52:58]He begins to feel this feeling and he takes the leave of

[53:00]Mashid and he goes back to his home or where he was

[53:06]staying.

[53:06]There a companion Abu Sali would come and he would see Im

[53:09]struggling to stand and he would see the painless on the forehead

[53:12]of Imam Ra and he would say Allah what is the state

[53:17]I see you in today.

[53:19]Imam Ra would say oh Abu Salult he has put poison in

[53:21]the grapes that he fed me today.

[53:23]Now I can feel my insides churning.

[53:25]Now I can feel the vomiting coming out.

[53:29]Now I can feel the difficulty.

[53:32]It pains me to see that you cannot even lie down in

[53:36]peace.

[53:36]You are going from side to side.

[53:38]As he tries to help him up, he cannot even stand up

[53:43]straight.

[53:41]The narration say the next day I im would become shahed by

[53:47]the effects of the poison.

[53:47]Mm would come and see Imam has passed away.

[53:51]Scared of the effects this would have on him, he would hide

[53:54]his martyrdom until his family would come one day later and they

[54:00]would say, "Om, where is our imam?

[54:02]Where is our master?

[54:02]Mahm would let them in and they would see the body of

[54:07]Imam in the courtyard of the house on the ground.

[54:09]But oh I im your death was hidden for one day and

[54:14]your body was lying in the courtyard of your house.

[54:18]But our im you taught us that there is a that is

[54:22]more than you.

[54:22]when you said to your companion Ib Shabib Shabib, "If you are

[54:26]to cry over anything, then cry over my grandfather Im Hussein, for

[54:32]surely he was slaughtered worse than animals." In the way we say

[54:37]seem I im his body was lying in the courtyard.

[54:41]We go to Karbala and we see the body of Abi Abdah

[54:46]Hussein lying on the plains of Karbala for 3 days crushed under

[54:48]the hooves of the horses without anyul and without any kan.

[54:52]Im would say Shabib if you cry over anything cry over my

[54:58]grandfather for he was slaughtered worse than the animals are slaughtered.

[55:01]One day I imad would be walking in the streets of Medina.

[55:06]He would see a butcher about to slaughter an animal.

[55:08]He would say, "Oh, butcher, can I ask you some questions?" He

[55:12]would say, "Yes, I sad would say, when you are about to

[55:14]butcher this animal, can I ask you, did you give the animal

[55:19]any water?" The man said, "Yes, it was the practice of your

[55:21]grandfather Allah to feed water before we slaughter them." I The im

[55:28]would face towards Kabala and say, "Oh, my father Hussein, they slaughtered

[55:32]you while you are thirsty." He would then turn to the butcher

[55:34]and say, "Oh, butcher, when you are slaughtering this animal, are you

[55:38]using a sharp knife or are you using a blunt knife?" He

[55:42]would say, "Yasillah, your grandfather taught us we should use a sharp

[55:46]knife for this makes the slaughtering and the death easy on the

[55:49]animal and quick for the animal." Imag turned towards Karbala and says,

[55:55]"Oh my father Hussein Shimmer, use the blood knife to make your

[56:00]death slow and difficult for you." Then he says, "Oh butcher, can

[56:03]I ask you one final question?" He says, "Yes," he says, "When

[56:08]you're slaughtering this animal, are you slaughtering it while its family is

[56:12]watching or are you slaughtering it away from its family?" He says,

[56:16]"Yabnool, your grandfather taught us that when we slaughter animals, we should

[56:21]not slaughter it in front of its family, for this causes great

[56:24]distress to its family." Im turned towards Kbala and said, "Oh my

[56:32]father Hussein, they slaughtered you while was watching on [Music] Hussein.

[56:56]>> Y'all are safe.
