[0:39]in our previous lecture we mentioned multiple lessons that we can derive

[0:48]from the story of noah one of which was just as there

[0:57]were there was one group of people who were saved from the

[1:02]flood of noah when the rest of humanity drowned in that flood

[1:09]just as one specific group of people was saved from the flood

[1:16]as they embarked the ship of noah the ark of noah ali

[1:21]today there is also an ark of salvation that we must embark

[1:28]in order to be saved from the dreadful and humongous waves of

[1:35]misguidance that surround us in that arc that arc of salvation is

[1:43]none other than after mentioning multiple lessons that we derived from the

[1:53]story of noah we started with the story of hud surat mentions

[1:58]the story of hud right after noah's story and by the way

[2:02]this is the fourth story mentioned in surat shwara it's quite nice

[2:08]to see that the quran mentions after the story of noah because

[2:15]when we go back to the traditions of we understand that was

[2:22]the uh savior of the believers after noah this is an important

[2:31]point that we need to keep in mind as you may know

[2:33]there were multiple saviors that came to humanity throughout history one of

[2:41]them was musa another was asa a third was muhammad so there

[2:50]were multiple saviors that came to humanity traditions say when i say

[2:54]traditions we're talking about the traditions of the words traditions say that

[3:03]noah addressed his shias meaning his followers and he told them that

[3:12]after him there will be tyrants who will gain dominion over the

[3:16]shias meaning over the believers during that time and he told them

[3:22]that their savior will be he will be in fact there's a

[3:30]detailed tradition [Music] it mentions how one prophet would mention the advent

[3:50]of another prophet or how one proof of god would speak about

[3:54]the following proof of god if you remember we mentioned part of

[3:59]this tradition it's a lengthy tradition it's pages long but we mentioned

[4:05]part of it when we spoke about who about adam shaith and

[4:12]noah when we spoke about adam and shaita what happened before adam

[4:16]died what happened during his death and after his death and how

[4:21]adam foretold the advent of noah today inshallah we want to shed

[4:26]light on the part of this tradition that deals with the imam

[4:35]says when the prophethood of came to an end and when his

[4:46]days came to an end allah revealed a message to him meaning

[4:50]this happened before no left this world allah revealed the message to

[4:57]nur and he said your the days of your prophethood have come

[5:01]to an end and the days of your life have also come

[5:04]to an end so transfer the knowledge you have to a person

[5:14]amongst your progeny specifically sam transfer it to your son sam the

[5:21]tradition mentions that allah azza told him the greatest name of allah

[5:31]azzawajal noah knew it and he was told to transfer to sam

[5:35]salam he was also told to transfer al-iman to transfer faith and

[5:43]iman if i want to give you a literal translation means what

[5:47]it means faith or religion so he was told to transfer that

[5:52]to sam what does that mean it doesn't mean sam wasn't faithful

[5:58]before he was faithful but what i understand from this word is

[6:01]that sam was becoming the preserver or the caretaker of the religion

[6:09]of god after noah allah had decreed that sam will be the

[6:14]caretaker of god's religion after noah so he was told to pass

[6:21]down his knowledge to sam salam and allah told nu he told

[6:29]him that in every era there will be someone who will possess

[6:34]that knowledge who will possess ismail akbar the greatest name of god

[6:40]iman faith who will possess the knowledge of noah and that someone

[6:45]will be from the progeny of the prophets who came between the

[6:51]times of adam and now which means that the proofs of allah

[6:57]after noah are all descendants of adam and noah and of course

[7:05]the prophets who came in between the times of adam and noah

[7:07]salaam allah he also told no that there will always be a

[7:17]scholar on earth through which the religion of god will be known

[7:21]he tells him that there will always be a scholar on earth

[7:25]through which my religion will be known meaning allah's religion and through

[7:30]which my obedience will be known so that scholar is unlike other

[7:35]scholars he is what he is an infallible scholar what we call

[7:41]the proof of allah this scholar guides people to allah's religion and

[7:46]also tells them how they're supposed to obey god then allah tells

[7:53]him that through these scholars meaning these proofs of god he saves

[7:59]the people who come into this world after the death of a

[8:03]prophet and before the advent of another prophet what does this imply

[8:10]it implies that sometimes the earth is devoid of a prophet there

[8:14]are times in which there are no prophets like our eras right

[8:19]there is no prophet after muhammad similarly between isa and muhammad there

[8:26]were a lot of years in which there were no prophets on

[8:31]earth so there could be eras in which no prophets exist on

[8:39]earth but there is always a proof of allah on earth if

[8:42]there isn't the prophet there's what there's a successor of a prophet

[8:46]there's someone who represents allah subhanahu wa and the prophets of god

[8:52]salam allah that someone is infallible and he guides people to the

[8:57]path of allah so if we were asked for example who um

[9:02]was in charge of guiding people after isa alaihissalam our answer would

[9:08]be safa simon peter who wasn't the prophet but he was a

[9:11]successor if we were asked who are you know the proofs of

[9:16]allah right now who is the proof of allah right now the

[9:19]answer would be velocity was a man may allah hasten his reappearance

[9:23]for we shias believe that after rasulallah there are 12 imams each

[9:31]one of them is the proof of god subhanahu wa let us

[9:36]go back to the tradition of imam al-bakr he says he says

[9:41]after sam [Music] came what does he mean by this word it

[9:49]seems that he means who'd was the greatest prophet or say the

[9:59]biggest prophet after some he doesn't mean to say that there are

[10:03]absolutely no prophets in between their times why because the imam continues

[10:09]and says the prophets who came uh in between the eras in

[10:13]between the times of sam and hud some were in hiding and

[10:20]some weren't in hiding which confirms a point we mentioned in the

[10:26]first lectures if you remember were not the first people to be

[10:30]tested through an occultation we're not the first people to be tested

[10:36]through the occultation of god's proof here is imam al-baqarah telling you

[10:42]that certain prophets who came after sam and before who were what

[10:48]were in hiding so they were on earth but they were in

[10:55]a state of occultation then the imam says he says noah said

[11:00]a word to his people to his people what did he say

[11:06]he said allah subhanahu wa is going to send a prophet called

[11:13]hud this prophet will call his people to god but they will

[11:21]disbelieve in him and as a result allah will destroy them through

[11:26]wind being through violent wind as we shall hear through a violent

[11:32]wind when he comes to you believe in him and follow him

[11:37]if you do so allah will save you from that violent he

[11:59]told him to look into this well to read this will how

[12:07]many times once per year he told them that every year at

[12:10]the start of the year he wants him to read that will

[12:15]not only to himself rather he wants him and the believers with

[12:20]sam alaihissalam to remember this will why so they may remember the

[12:26]advent of hood and may be ready to welcome hud and to

[12:30]believe in him once he comes this is similar to how it

[12:37]try to prepare us for the advent of sahaba zamman by mentioning

[12:44]what will happen when sahib is a man arises the signs of

[12:52]the reappearance etc so the imam says when hood finally came when

[12:59]hood finally came the believers at that time looked at the knowledge

[13:05]they had they looked into the knowledge they had and they realized

[13:09]subhanallah this is hood this is the hood that spoke of so

[13:15]they believed in him and followed him as a result when allah

[13:20]destroyed the people of hood those believers were what those believers were

[13:25]saved bear in mind these believers must have believed in who'd before

[13:31]his advent because they already knew that new spoke about a man

[13:37]called hood but the thing is they were trying to see who

[13:39]is this who finally when he came they realized this is the

[13:43]person we've been waiting for and that will happen as well this

[13:49]is exactly insha allah this is exactly what will happen once sahib

[13:52]is a man reappears the believers will realize this is the promised

[13:58]mehdi this is the mahdi we've all been waiting for abdullah wasallam

[14:05]we mentioned yesterday if you remember that hood reminded his people of

[14:12]fearing allah subhanahu wa which is a general piece of advice which

[14:20]helps people cleanse themselves from any sin whenever someone commits a sin

[14:26]the piece of advice regarding piety reminding him of piety is an

[14:32]excellent piece of advice because it will help with any sin but

[14:39]even then who would tackle certain sins that his people committed and

[14:44]the first sin we mentioned yesterday was what was wasting they would

[14:52]waste time money and effort as they would build huge monuments on

[14:58]uh heights hills and or mountains for no reason they would build

[15:09]those monuments for no reason so they were wasting their time effort

[15:12]and their money this brought us to what to the topic of

[15:16]wasting and we said allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as muslims he wants

[15:22]us to follow a middle path which lies between two extremes stinginess

[15:29]and extravagance he doesn't want you to be extravagant and he doesn't

[15:35]want you to be stingy this is where we stopped and we

[15:39]presented a tradition by imam which explained through body language the imam

[15:48]explained through body language what is extravagance what is stinginess and what

[15:56]is this middle path which lies between stinginess and extravagance we've understood

[16:01]that as muslims were not demanded to refrain from spending money rather

[16:11]we're demanded to spend money in the right way in the right

[16:17]manner so there are times in which you must spend money and

[16:23]there are times in which you should refrain from spending money here

[16:27]i want to share with you a tradition in al qaeda by

[16:35]imam assad which sheds more light on this topic as i told

[16:38]you there are plenty of traditions that speak about the limits of

[16:43]spending money when are you extravagant when you're not so it's wise

[16:48]to read these traditions for today we want to share with you

[16:54]the following tradition where the narrative he tells him he tells him

[17:01]what is stinginess so the imam says he answers by giving an

[17:04]example and i believe you know that giving examples is one of

[17:10]the best ways through which you can make people understand a particular

[17:15]concept if you want people to understand concepts present what presents examples

[17:31]is to basically eat bread and salt when you're able meaning you're

[17:37]financially able to buy other types of food remember the imam is

[17:43]giving what an example he's saying someone has money and he's able

[17:49]to buy meat chickpeas fava beans he's able to buy you know

[17:55]fruits vegetables chicken etc and he only buys you know bread and

[18:04]salt he says this is what this is stinginess then he's asked

[18:11]ali he said um he's told family then what is this middle

[18:20]path which lies between extravagance and um stinginess the imam he says

[18:40]if you want to follow that middle path then buy bread meat

[18:48]milk and or yogurt vinegar margarine you should sometimes eat this type

[18:59]of food and sometimes that type of food what do we understand

[19:04]from this tradition we understand from the imam alaihi that it's not

[19:11]wrong to buy different types of food if you want to refrain

[19:16]from being extravagant you don't have to you know have a very

[19:22]simple diet where you're only eating for example bread and salt no

[19:27]you can you can buy various types of food because these types

[19:31]of food are needed for the body and allah is a generous

[19:39]lord allah wouldn't create a human being in a way in which

[19:44]the human needs certain types of food and then forbid that type

[19:48]of food on the human it's a stinginess for example allah subhanahu

[19:54]wa ta'ala won't create us in a way in which we need

[19:57]for example milk then tell us you know what you can't drink

[20:00]milk why would he do that if he wants to forbid something

[20:05]upon us it means or in better terms if he forbids something

[20:10]upon us it means we don't need it allah is a generous

[20:15]lord i repeat if he forbids something upon us it means it's

[20:19]not needed if it was needed he would have made it lawful

[20:24]and if someone were to say but there are certain things that

[20:31]the human body needs that are unlawful our reply to that is

[20:36]you're wrong the the body doesn't need such things and if we

[20:41]suppose that the body needs them allah has already allowed us to

[20:47]do what allowed us to consume or to acquire other things that

[20:53]are lawful and that present the same benefits to the human body

[20:59]so we understand from imam sadiq's tradition that it's not wrong to

[21:08]spend money on various types of food and that it's not wrong

[21:11]to spend money on things that uh give you comfort whilst you're

[21:19]on earth things things that make your life a comfortable life that's

[21:24]not wrong and it's not part of extravagance this is a second

[21:38]tradition a second tradition concerning wasting in a third tradition who follows

[21:57]a middle path between extravagance and stinginess allah will do what will

[22:03]sustain him so the the prophet here teaches us that when we're

[22:09]not extravagant what does allah do allah increases our sustenance if you

[22:14]want your substance to be increased show allah subhanahu wa that you

[22:20]know how to spend your money and you know how to control

[22:26]yourself when it comes to spending money then the imam says the

[22:29]prophet says as for he who wastes allah will deprive him of

[22:39]sustenance so when allah sees us misbehaving when it comes to money

[22:42]spending money uh right and left without any limits what does he

[22:49]do he deprives us of more sustenance subhanahu so the first problem

[22:59]that that hood mentions regarding his community is what wasting what's the

[23:06]second problem says [Music] and you make strong fortresses that perhaps you

[23:28]may live the books of staff tell us based on this verse

[23:32]of course that the people of whod used to build mansions huge

[23:40]humongous places of residence mansions and or castles soho came forth and

[23:49]objected to this issue he told them as if he was saying

[23:54]what is wrong with you you're building these mansions and or castles

[24:00]in hope of what in hope of staying alive in hope of

[24:05]staying in this world here one might say what's the problem with

[24:11]having a big house or having a big place of residence so

[24:16]what you know having a big house having a spacious house is

[24:23]good it comforts the human being so why is hood objecting to

[24:27]what they're doing first we say correct you're right there's nothing wrong

[24:35]in having a spacious house we can have a spacious house we

[24:38]can have a big house the traditions of salaam are clear on

[24:45]this regard the tradition of consider that having a spacious house is

[24:51]a cause of happiness i repeat having a spacious house is a

[24:57]cause of happiness let me share a tradition with you on this

[25:04]reward you can find the tradition in the book the prophet is

[25:07]there yet to have said the prophet says that there are four

[25:20]things that cause happiness that instill happiness in the heart of a

[25:28]muslim what are these four things the first one is to have

[25:35]a child who resembles him meaning having a son or a daughter

[25:39]that resembles you which is true when you see when you have

[25:42]children you become happy and if the children resemble you you become

[25:47]even more happy you like to see you know um you like

[25:52]to see um a smaller you walking on the face of the

[25:56]earth the second cause of happiness is what he says the second

[26:07]cause of happiness is a wife who is beautiful on the inside

[26:11]and the outside meaning a wife the prophet says a wife who

[26:17]is faithful and beautiful so she's beautiful on the inside because she's

[26:23]faithful she's a righteous human being and she's beautiful on the outside

[26:28]due to her physical appearance this also does what instills happiness in

[26:33]the heart of the muslim the third cause of happiness he says

[26:40]it is to have a comfortable means of transportation for example a

[26:47]comfortable car a comfortable van a comfortable pickup truck etc having a

[26:55]comfortable means of transportation is also a cause of happiness last but

[27:01]not least he says the fourth cause of happiness is a place

[27:08]of residence that is wes ah that's spacious which is which makes

[27:15]sense right when you enter a spacious house you feel comfortable whereas

[27:19]when you enter a house that's very tight you feel or might

[27:23]feel an amount of discomfort so there is nothing wrong with having

[27:27]you know a spacious house but this is not what who alaihissalam

[27:35]so what is he objecting to well look at the verse carefully

[27:42]he says firstly their houses were humongous it's one thing to have

[27:52]a spacious and it's one thing to have you know a house

[27:55]that could fill a whole nation that could that could fit a

[28:03]whole nation are two different things even then hood's main concern is

[28:09]what is the latter part of the verse as he says he

[28:14]tells them i know why you're doing this while you're building these

[28:18]huge fancy mansions and or castles it's because you have hope that

[28:26]you remain in this world you know what that means it means

[28:31]the people of islam forgot about death you know death is is

[28:40]an incident that one cannot avoid correct every human being whether he

[28:50]is faithful or not knows that sooner or later he will die

[28:53]this is one thing that human beings agree on we might disagree

[28:58]you know when it comes to uh beliefs about allah about the

[29:04]prophets about the hereafter etc but there's one belief we all agree

[29:08]on everyone absolutely everyone and that is everyone will die the people

[29:15]of hood forgot about that they had hope that they will remain

[29:20]alive in this world so they forgot about death which means they

[29:27]definitely forgot about the hereafter put the hereafter behind your back you

[29:32]know they forgot about it without doubt when a person forgets about

[29:37]the hereafter and forgets about death this person will be closer to

[29:46]disobeying allah and more distant from obeying him as for if someone

[29:56]disbelieves in the hereafter that person not only will be closer to

[30:01]sin and farther away from obedience that person will be afflicted with

[30:05]a scary state a state through a state that might lead him

[30:11]to committing major indecencies and or crimes you might ask why why

[30:22]would the human being commit major crimes commit for example murder commit

[30:28]major indecencies if he disbelieves in the hereafter simply because he realizes

[30:37]no one is going to punish him or at least that's what

[30:43]he believes he believes that no one will punish him if there's

[30:46]no hereafter that means there's no hell no heaven so there's no

[30:50]punishment for my sins on top of that no one will question

[30:53]me this is what the human being will start to think no

[30:56]one will question me no one will reckon me so why should

[31:00]i refrain from you know killing this person and committing this sort

[31:06]of injustice and that sort of indecency this is what happens when

[31:13]what when a person disbelieves in the hereafter hence believing in the

[31:19]hereafter and remembering it constantly is essential this is why i realized

[31:27]used to remind people about the hereafter in their sermons in their

[31:34]supplications in their words take the example of which we read during

[31:38]the month of ramadan which also we read in the month of

[31:44]ramadan or other supplications like you realize there are passages there especially

[31:55]in hamza that mention the stages of the hereafter imam sajad is

[32:03]doing this purposely are doing this purposely we human beings need to

[32:07]remember the stages of the hereafter we need to remember on a

[32:13]daily basis or a weekly basis the stage of sakaratil when the

[32:19]angel of death is pulling our souls out of our bodies we

[32:23]need to remember purgatory what will happen in that dark and lonely

[32:28]grave we need to remember the stages of the day of judgment

[32:31]what will happen when i'm resurrected and when i need help but

[32:37]everyone beside me is preoccupied with themselves with himself or herself these

[32:45]stages remembering them brings the person closer to obedience farther away from

[32:51]disobedience why simply because it instills fear in our hearts that's positive

[33:02]fear which pushes us to obey allah subhanahu wa and to refrain

[33:06]from disobedience so the people of hood were in a state of

[33:13]spiritual paralysis spiritual paralysis they forgot death they wanted to remain in

[33:21]this world and they were building these huge monuments huge houses mansions

[33:25]or castles because they had hoped they will remain on earth remembering

[33:33]that as i told you is essential hence you find imam ali

[33:40]constantly would remind the muslims about that read his his sermons especially

[33:47]the sermons of najib you'll find amir mentioning death abundantly tonight with

[33:55]the rest of the time we have i want to share with

[34:00]you one of those sermons it's a short sermon but very eloquent

[34:04]and how could it not be eloquent when it's coming out from

[34:10]the heart of eloquence the tradition the sermon can be found in

[34:20]it said it's narrated that imam ali was walking in a funeral

[34:29]he was in a burial procession and he heard someone laughing as

[34:36]he he's in the funeral as he's in the viral procession what

[34:39]we call tashia he heard someone laughing the imam was disturbed why

[34:46]would someone be laughing at a time like this firstly it's disrespectful

[34:52]for the family members of the deceased secondly it's not a time

[34:59]to laugh it's a time to remember what will happen to us

[35:07]one day because the people that die in our life the people

[35:13]that die the messages that we receive for example on our phones

[35:19]or on facebook or instagram etc about people dying all of these

[35:26]are messages from telling us listen i'm coming sooner or later i

[35:33]will come and i will take your soul and take you to

[35:37]the hereafter the tradition says that when malachi salam pulls the soul

[35:42]of a human being out of its body and the family members

[35:46]of that human begin crying he tells them don't cry for i

[35:52]will come back to you and i will come back until none

[35:56]of you are left meaning i'm going to come back and take

[36:00]each one of your souls to the hereafter bear in mind mana

[36:04]kill mouth is not an evil angel he's not evil he's a

[36:10]kind angel but his duty is to do what his duty is

[36:11]to collect the souls of the humans and to take them to

[36:18]the here after so these are messages that person was laughing in

[36:24]the burial procession instead of thinking what will happen to me you

[36:29]know how will my state be when i am carried towards my

[36:37]grief so the imam said the following word he said he said

[36:51]it's as if allah decreed that people will die but we won't

[37:01]die the imam here is describing the state of the human being

[37:03]the human being at times fools himself into believing that you know

[37:11]his mom will die his brother will die his friends will die

[37:16]but he won't die the imam salam allah is trying to wake

[37:22]us up telling us no no no no wake up everyone including

[37:26]yourself will die one day then he says has directed his commands

[37:52]at fellow human beings but he hasn't directed those commands at us

[37:57]here the imam is pointing to another problem that sometimes we might

[38:02]go through if we see someone you know doing something uh incorrect

[38:09]something unlawful we get bothered from him but if we do the

[38:19]same deed will be okay with it so it's as if he

[38:21]has been commanded to obey allah but we haven't imam ali here

[38:26]is also giving us a reality check telling us no this is

[38:31]not the case all of us are required of following allah's commands

[38:53]it's as if it's as if they're going on a trip and

[39:03]soon they're going to come back to us meaning that we behave

[39:09]with these people with the deceased as if they went on a

[39:16]small trip right and inshallah they'll be back soon which isn't the

[39:20]case these people are dead which means they went to the hereafter

[39:22]and they won't come back until one until the day of judgment

[39:26]in which will all be resurrected or the day of raja the

[39:32]day when certain people not all will be resurrected on earth during

[39:35]the days of sahib zaman sharif the bottom line is it's not

[39:40]a trip you know when for example your family member says goodbye

[39:47]and he goes for ziara you have hope that he'll return right

[39:51]you tell yourself inshallah in a week or two or in a

[39:56]few months he'll be back so you don't consider his absence to

[40:00]be a big deal the imam is saying when he heard that

[40:03]person laughing in a burial procession he's saying that certain people deal

[40:09]with this disease as if they went on a small trip and

[40:13]they'll be back soon meaning they're not taking their death seriously and

[40:19]actually thinking about preparing themselves for the same fate we simply come

[40:38]forth and bury the deceased in their graves then what do we

[40:46]do then we take their inheritance the money they've left behind and

[40:50]we use that money we distribute that money amongst ourselves we make

[40:57]use of it and we behave in a way as if we

[41:04]will remain on earth after them as if that will never touch

[41:07]us he says we have forgotten every exhorter meaning every reminder we've

[41:29]forgotten the reminders that allah subhanahu wa has shown us instilled multiple

[41:38]reminders around us that tell us the day of death is coming

[41:42]the afterlife is coming prepare yourself such as what such as the

[41:47]quranic verses that speak about death and the hereafter such as the

[41:51]graves we see when we're driving for example from point a to

[41:56]po point b such as as i told you the people who

[41:57]pass away during our lives the messages we see on facebook on

[42:01]instagram etc all of these are what reminders from allah the imam

[42:10]says we've forgotten about all of these reminders and we haven't allowed

[42:15]those reminders to actually penetrate through our hearts and affect us on

[42:20]top of that he says and we've been afflicted with every ja'iha

[42:29]what's ah is a grave calamity a grave calamity it's also a

[42:40]word used to refer to a phenomenon that destroys someone's wealth and

[42:46]vegetation a phenomenon such as a natural phenomenon that basically wipes out

[42:53]wealth and vegetation it's called so here the imam is talking about

[42:58]what he's talking about a spiritual spiritual calamity he says we've been

[43:02]afflicted with the spiritual calamity and that is the the calamity of

[43:09]what the calamity of uh forgetfulness we're forgetting the hereafter and the

[43:13]calamity of spiritual sleep we're in a state of spiritual sleep just

[43:18]as your body sleeps every day and wakes up your soul also

[43:24]might sleep or might wake up the believers like you inshallah remain

[43:28]awake until the day of their death spiritually speaking but most people

[43:34]unfortunately the imam says in another tradition most people are asleep when

[43:40]do they wake up they wake up once they die when it's

[43:47]too late bear in mind imam ali salaam here speaking in a

[43:53]way where you might assume he's talking about everyone but that's not

[43:59]the case number one isn't talking about himself god forbid nor about

[44:05]the believers like malik and their likes those people those people don't

[44:15]forget the hereafter those people are aware of what's happening now and

[44:19]what will happen then rather about certain people amongst our communities certain

[44:28]people on the face of the earth who don't take that seriously

[44:33]and who forget about death and they hear after but he's doing

[44:38]what he's using a very nice style in exhorting or say reminding

[44:44]those people and that is to speak in a way it's as

[44:50]if he's speaking about himself this is a very nice style to

[44:53]use when you want to exhort someone or remind them of the

[44:58]truth for example someone backbites you know that someone backbites others in

[45:04]your community and you want to admonish him you have two ways

[45:09]of doing so you can tell him backbiting is haram stop this

[45:14]is what the direct method you know you're shooting him with your

[45:19]words of course not with a not with a pistol you're shooting

[45:23]him with your words this is haram don't do it this is

[45:27]the direct method then again there's an indirect method which is to

[45:33]say in his presence why do we backbite see you're saying we

[45:39]so you're accusing yourself of backbiting before accusing him why do we

[45:43]human beings backbite each other why do we do this isn't it

[45:48]wrong here it doesn't seem like you're attacking him you want him

[45:53]to listen and you want to guide him you might be a

[45:54]person who never backbites anyone but you accuse yourself of backbiting so

[46:00]that he can be closer to accepting your admonishment this is the

[46:07]style amir al mu'min was using in this beautiful sermon tomorrow inshallah

[46:13]still alive we'll continue with the sermon of the imam and with

[46:19]more verses foreign
