[14:07]uh now not much left to say sorry no announcement tonight but

[14:11]of course without further Ado can we all please with aamad introduce

[14:16]to the podium yeah clip it thank you great yeah it's FD

[14:58]Muhammad muham muhamad throughout history there has always been a struggle between

[15:42]two categories between two groups there is one group that seeks to

[15:51]abuse and use people and you and use people and then there's

[16:04]another group that seeks to empower people and educate people and have

[16:10]people make wise decisions in their life when we look at we

[16:19]see that one of the main teachings of the religion of of

[16:24]Islam one of the main teachings of and the Quran and the

[16:33]religion of Islam is to empower people through bringing them out of

[16:40]the ignorance bringing them out of darkness and having people be able

[16:46]to make decisions on their own this is why we see that

[16:50]something that the religion of Islam called for from day one was

[16:58]to seek knowledge every every single Muslim men or women young or

[17:03]old we have a religious duty to seek knowledge and to educate

[17:07]ourselves and the Quran tells us that the worship even the of

[17:15]someone who is uneducated versus someone who is educated the the worship

[17:22]of the one who is educated is worth many times more than

[17:25]the ones who is UN than the one who is uneducated in

[17:30]one verse Allah says saying are they equal the ones who have

[17:44]the knowledge and the ones who do not have the knowledge and

[17:49]then Allah says no the ones who have the knowledge they their

[17:53]worship and their actions have a very higher position and they weigh

[17:59]much more on the scale in another verse Allah says Allah subhana

[18:14]tala raises the ones who have the knowledge the ones who are

[18:19]educated Allah subhana taala raises them in status in another verse Allah

[18:23]explains why he raises certain people why is it that the the

[18:27]worship of a scholar is worth more than that of an ignorant

[18:35]person Allah says the reason Allah says because when someone has truly

[18:44]understood Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when someone has reached the level of

[18:50]where their faith and their belief and their worship is not based

[18:58]on Blind Faith then that that person they will not be misguided

[19:02]very easily today why do you see many people one problem in

[19:05]their life one struggle in their life and you see some people

[19:10]they leave the religion you see some people they say I'm not

[19:13]going to pray anymore some they take off their hijab why because

[19:19]the main reason that they were praying the main reason that they

[19:22]were worshiping the main reason that they were practicing and fulfilling their

[19:27]duties it wasn't based on it wasn't based on knowledge it was

[19:31]based on culture Society their parents telling them to do something and

[19:35]then once they go through difficulties right away they fall they can't

[19:40]hold this is why Allah says the ones who are knowledgeable they

[19:51]are the ones who will truly have the fear of Allah subhanahu

[19:57]wa ta'ala they will the they will be the ones who will

[19:58]obey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala genuinely now we see that the religion

[20:07]of Islam called on people to be educated the first verse that

[20:14]came down upon was what read educate yourselves in other verses Allah

[20:23]says do they not Ponder do they not think do they not

[20:27]analyze do they not use their int but today we look at

[20:32]some of the Muslim communities you look at some Muslim countries today

[20:37]and you see that the rate of illiteracy the rate of the

[20:44]people who are uneducated in these countries in these communities you see

[20:47]that it's higher than ever you find a very high illiteracy rate

[20:53]a very high rate of ignorance in some of the Muslim communities

[21:00]some of our own communities now why is there ignorance within communities

[21:08]this is a question that many sociologists many scholars have asked why

[21:15]do we have ignorance why is ignorance very prevalent today you go

[21:19]and you look at some countries on the map you see that

[21:24]there's a 70% illiteracy rate meaning that 70% of the people living

[21:28]in that country don't know how to read or write and it

[21:31]causes a problem you know why because when you don't know how

[21:37]to read and write any sh any say any scholar any person

[21:41]who's standing and speaking whether this person is a scholar or not

[21:43]a scholar they could come and tell this person for example you

[21:48]go to Iraq you find a group of sh that are mourning

[21:51]Imam husin and then he comes and he tells them go and

[21:56]kill yourself blow yourself up and and you will kill other people

[22:00]and you will go straight to heaven now this person doesn't know

[22:05]how to read this person doesn't know how to write this person

[22:08]can't go and read the Quran they can't go and read the

[22:10]Hadith they're going to believe anything that they're told and this is

[22:17]why we within the Muslim Community as a whole I'm not talking

[22:20]about just the Shia I'm talking about the Muslim Community as a

[22:23]whole there is so much struggle one of the main reasons is

[22:28]ignorance ignorance within the community and this is so ironic because the

[22:34]religion of Islam it called upon people to educate themselves it called

[22:43]upon people to seek knowledge men and women seek knowledge even if

[22:48]it was in China Allah tells the people he keeps telling people

[22:57]to educate themselves however we see that there is a very high

[23:02]rate of illiteracy and a group of people who are uneducated this

[23:06]is why you see he kept telling people to be educated who

[23:11]was the city of the door who was the door of the

[23:18]city of knowledge of Al CU Islam tells people come and ask

[23:22]questions don't be afraid IM and IM they used to tell their

[23:26]companions seek knowledge in one he says he says if it was

[23:39]up to me he says if it was up to me I

[23:42]would take a whip and I would whip my companions until they

[23:47]are educated of course the Imam he's not doing that and he

[23:50]doesn't he never did it but he says if it was up

[23:54]to me this is what I would do so that this this

[23:58]is how the IM shows the significance of knowledge and seeking knowledge

[24:01]you see that this is one category one group of people the

[24:05]Quran Allah the Quran the prophet the IMs they kept insisting on

[24:10]people to be educated because when once you're educated you're going to

[24:16]be empowered once you're educated your faith is not going to be

[24:20]shaken very easily and then you find another group of people there

[24:23]has always been that struggle there's another group of people that tells

[24:27]people no no no don't you don't need to go and learn

[24:31]you don't need to be educated you don't need to learn and

[24:33]you see that this is what dictators have been doing throughout history

[24:37]Allah subhah wa tala gives us the example of prophet of during

[24:44]the time of prophet Musa what did do what did Pharaoh do

[24:51]Allah says how did he get people to follow him like sheep

[25:03]he got people to follow him when he belittled them when he

[25:08]belittled them he did not care for their intelligence he did not

[25:11]care for their opinion he did not care when they asked the

[25:14]question and we find that we have certain powers today that this

[25:21]is exactly how they run their country this is exactly how they

[25:24]run their system they don't want anyone asking any questions they don't

[25:28]want anyone saying anything any objection right away you find in thank

[25:33]you very much you find in certain communities or certain countries you

[25:39]go for example you ask why is this why is this right

[25:44]away they'll hit you and they'll beat you and they'll tell you

[25:46]you're mush you're cfir and you're not a Muslim this is something

[25:54]that's very prevalent within the Muslim Community as a whole or sometimes

[25:59]you ask a question you say why do we have to do

[26:03]this they'll tell you this is the culture this is the way

[26:04]we've been doing it for hundreds of years you can't say anything

[26:11]because culturally it's a ritual everyone has been doing it for hundreds

[26:16]of years now sometimes culture Islam doesn't have a problem with culture

[26:20]and rituals but the day the moment your culture any culture it

[26:25]is the day your culture starts contradicting your faith then there's going

[26:31]to be a problem with your culture with your rituals or whatever

[26:38]you do so we see that there has always been a struggle

[26:41]so there's two reasons for ignorance the first reason sociologists and Scholars

[26:49]of communities they say that that reason the reason for ignorance is

[26:54]poverty this is why you go and you look at poor countries

[27:00]you see that mostly in these poor countries you find ignorance because

[27:03]they don't have the resources they don't have the capabilities of teaching

[27:09]people and empowering people so this is one of the reasons however

[27:14]there's another reason that many sociologists many scholars in our communities today

[27:23]fail to comprehend and understand and that is the instit tionalized ignorance

[27:30]that is prevalent in our communities and in our societies what is

[27:36]that institutionalized ignorance is when a group of people a person who

[27:40]is powerful he tries or she tries to keep a very big

[27:47]group of people in the dark keeping them away from knowledge keeping

[27:52]them away from asking questions keeping them away from understanding and and

[27:58]asking and seeing why and using their logic and this is what

[28:04]dictators have been doing why do dictators in some communities they don't

[28:09]want people to learn you go to some countries it's a crime

[28:16]to take with you this is a Quran but it's a crime

[28:18]if you are if you are uh in the airplane once you

[28:23]land in the airport they're not looking for drugs they're not looking

[28:26]for weapons they're not looking for all that stuff they're looking for

[28:30]books they're looking for ideas that you're going to be spreading why

[28:35]because if you have for example the book or if you have

[28:41]or if you have some of the books that talk about the

[28:46]of and that poses a very big danger for them that will

[28:50]shatter their whole ideology so therefore there have been groups of people

[28:58]throughout history and until today that institutionalized ignorance trying to keep people

[29:07]in the dark and this is where we have the problem that

[29:11]we see today this is why every day when you turn on

[29:13]the news you hear that a crime is committed by a so-called

[29:19]Muslim a person who shouted allahar and he went and he killed

[29:23]women and children and innocent people why the main reason for this

[29:27]is ignorance but it's not necessarily ignorance because that person is from

[29:32]a poor country because you find many of these terrorists they go

[29:35]to Iraq they go to Syria they go to these countries to

[29:39]cause problems in their countries they're living like kings their countries they

[29:44]have oil they have so much wealth they're driving the nicest cars

[29:48]but the problem is there are certain people within those countries that

[29:54]are keeping the majority of the people in the dark and this

[30:00]institutionalized ignorance it has a history it's not something that just happened

[30:05]today terrorism that we see today it's not something new there is

[30:10]a very long history and it goes back to the time of

[30:16]it goes back to the time of I'll give you a few

[30:22]examples of how the Muslim Community as a whole was kept in

[30:28]the dark and you be the judge you can determine whether what

[30:32]I'm saying has a value is true or it's just talk four

[30:39]days four days before the death of passed away on a Monday

[30:48]the Thursday before that the Thursday before the death of rol Allah

[30:54]rol Allah of course before that he had asked all of the

[31:01]companions to leave Medina he didn't want the companions to remain in

[31:05]Medina why because this is something that the Quran talked about it

[31:09]might happen he is if he dies or is killed will you

[31:24]turn back over your heel this is something that the Quran said

[31:31]it's a possibility so he was worried so this is why he

[31:35]asked all of the Muslims to leave and join the army of

[31:40]USB Z now there was a very big group of them that

[31:46]did not join the army of Usama Z and he said he

[31:55]said May the curse of Allah be upon the one who does

[32:01]not join the army of us Z now that's a different issue

[32:07]so on the Thursday before the death of a group of Muslims

[32:11]they gathered around Allah when Allah was 4 days before his death

[32:15]he was very weak he kept fainting then they gather around him

[32:22]he tells them bring me a pen and paper so that I

[32:28]write for you something that you shall never go astray after me

[32:32]what happened that day that day they began to fight while is

[32:41]between them they began to argue between them and then one of

[32:45]them he said the book of Allah is enough for us the

[32:54]man is hallucinating the man is hallucinating the pain has overcome him

[32:59]that he's saying things so then he tells them to go away

[33:05]and that there should not be any quarreling next to the prophet

[33:11]and did not tell them the will now some people they come

[33:14]and they say okay why didn't the prophet go ahead and say

[33:18]what he had to say of course what is he going to

[33:22]say they already accused him of being insane they already accused him

[33:25]of saying thing saying nonsense whatever he says they're going to say

[33:29]it was nonsense then they said the book of Allah is enough

[33:37]for us what does that mean that means that we don't care

[33:39]about what had to say we don't care about the Hadith we

[33:43]just want the Quran and you find some Muslims until today they

[33:47]have that mentality until today they come you come and you tell

[33:51]them for example is you come and you tell them is zakat

[33:56]is you tell them this and they say no no no no

[33:59]no come and bring me verse from the Quran right away bring

[34:04]me a verse from the Quran now yes of course it is

[34:06]in the Quran but when we believe in when we say doesn't

[34:14]that mean that we are going to accept the Hadith of the

[34:20]Prophet doesn't that mean that we will accept what the prophet said

[34:23]but you see that immediately after the death of the prophet and

[34:27]even before the death of the Prophet there were individuals that turned

[34:32]against the sayings of now the irony is that that same man

[34:38]of course after that event where was not able and they stopped

[34:46]from saying his willb Abbas Abdullah Abbas the cousin of the prophet

[34:54]he comes out of the room crying and he he says he

[35:02]says all of our Calamity and this is why that event is

[35:08]called the th the Thursday Calamity he says all of our Calamity

[35:16]is because they didn't allow to say his final will and then

[35:20]the irony is that that same man that same man who said

[35:28]when the first Khalifa was passing away he was sitting next to

[35:34]the first Khalifa and the first Khalifa was writing the the will

[35:36]that he is going to be the Khalifa after me what did

[35:40]he say he told all of the Muslims be quiet be quiet

[35:45]he has to say his will respect his will he made everyone

[35:48]be quiet so that the first Khalifa can say his will but

[35:53]when it came to he said the man is hallucinating so we

[35:59]see that there is a history of keeping people in the dark

[36:04]and it started before the death of the Prophet it started a

[36:08]few days before the death of the Prophet when some people turned

[36:12]against the Hadith of and that Hadi that turning against the Hadith

[36:18]it became incorporated into the system it became Allah during the during

[36:26]the first khif and the second Khalifa all the way until Omar

[36:32]abdulaziz the time of Omar abdulaziz it became a law within the

[36:36]Muslim Community to ban people from writing the Hadith of the Prophet

[36:41]it became Allah you could look this up on Google it became

[36:48]illegal to write the Hadith of the prophet and you see that

[36:51]this carried on for decades and for a very long time now

[36:57]now some people until today you ask some Scholars why did they

[37:00]not allow why were they against the Hadith of the Prophet doesn't

[37:06]Allah say whatever what if you if you wish to obey Allah

[37:12]then you have to obey the prophet they come and they say

[37:17]the Muslims at that time they were very afraid for Lo that

[37:20]they will lose the Quran so because they were afraid that they

[37:24]will lose the Quran they made people stop writing and recording the

[37:29]Hadith of the prophet and it is recorded that some of them

[37:34]they gathered the Hadith they gathered the narrations the Muslims they used

[37:37]to write for example what they heard from the prophet they used

[37:40]to write it down it was all gathered and it was all

[37:44]burned so you see that it was incorporated into the system to

[37:50]turn against the Hadith of the prophet and then on the other

[37:54]side you see that many fabricated narration s were added into the

[38:00]faith many fabricated narrations were institutionalized and they became a part of

[38:07]our religion the Hadith that says uh the verse in the Quran

[38:14]it says Allah says oh you people who believe obey Allah obey

[38:27]the prophet and the ones who Allah has designated as the ones

[38:31]who Allah has designated As Leaders today you find a group of

[38:36]people they come and they say anyone who's a Khalifa anyone who's

[38:39]a leader even if it's Abu Bakr Al badi or any king

[38:44]or anyone who is very far from religion if this person came

[38:47]and said I'm your leader in religion then you have to follow

[38:50]this person because the Quran says so now does the Quran truly

[38:57]say this no but you see that this was added into the

[39:00]religion and it was fabricated just a few days ago the day

[39:04]of Ash we found so many people consider the day of Ash

[39:11]a day ofid a day of holiday the day that the grandson

[39:16]of the Prophet was killed there are some people that are actually

[39:19]celebrating on the day of Ash why because of the fabricated narrations

[39:25]that were inserted into our books into the books of Hadith the

[39:32]Hadith supposedly when the prophet was migrating to Medina when he migrated

[39:38]to Medina he saw the Jews celebrating so he asked them why

[39:43]are you celebrating they tell him it's the day of as this

[39:48]is the day that Allah saved B is the Jews from Pharaoh

[39:55]so then supposedly the prophet he said so if Allah saved my

[39:59]brother Moses then I also have to celebrate and then he told

[40:04]the Muslims to fast on the day of as but of course

[40:05]this has so many problems first of all the prophet did not

[40:10]migrate in mam because the Hadith says when the prophet first migrated

[40:12]and then why would the prophet take his religion from the Jews

[40:16]doesn't J come to him doesn't Allah subhana wa tala tell him

[40:21]why would he come and see what others are saying and then

[40:26]the day of ashur even if it was a day that thousands

[40:32]and millions of people celebrated after the day of as year 61

[40:36]after Hijra when im Hussein the grandson of the Prophet was butchered

[40:40]and was killed does that leave anything to celebrate do you have

[40:46]any reason to celebrate that day there's no reason to celebrate the

[40:50]grandson of the Prophet was killed along with his family with his

[40:54]children and that was not enough they took his head head and

[41:00]the family of IM Hussein from City to City through that difficult

[41:03]journey and then you find some people today they have the audacity

[41:07]to come out and try to celebrate on the day of Ash

[41:13]so we see that many fabricated narrations were added into our books

[41:22]of Hadith today some Muslims they ask why do you followers of

[41:28]the not accept the book of bukari sahkari sahkari it is the

[41:32]number one book according to the majority of Muslims it is the

[41:37]number one book after the Quran but we the followers of the

[41:46]we don't accept it why because first of all we don't have

[41:48]any book not a single book even within the school of thought

[41:54]that we consider we don't consider any book because each it has

[41:57]to be analyzed on its own you don't consider a book that

[42:02]has over 5,000th all and right away you accept it all even

[42:05]our Scholars today they come and they look at every single Hadith

[42:08]even in the books that we accept and they analyze every single

[42:13]line in every single sentence in the books of Hadith and this

[42:16]is how you take your religion you don't take it blindly and

[42:20]second we see that there are many Fabrications within this book for

[42:25]example bukari this man the author of sah bukari he does not

[42:35]narrate one Hadith from IM even though he came he came after

[42:41]IM sad and IM sad was a scholar at that time that

[42:43]all of the Muslims used to look up to but who does

[42:47]he narrate a Hadith from he narrates a Hadith from a man

[42:51]by the name of this man he Praises ABD the man who

[42:59]struck so he's willing to narrate a Hadith from a man who

[43:07]praises the murder of but he doesn't narrate aith from IM who

[43:12]is from the lineage and the grandson of they came and they

[43:20]asked him why don't you narrate from IM sad he said there's

[43:22]something in my heart there's something fishy going on this is what

[43:29]he says about Im so you see that there's intentional ignorance institutionalized

[43:35]ignorance where certain powers and certain authorities they try to keep people

[43:42]in the dark and then fourth you see that all of the

[43:51]companions of the Prophet they are made infallible every single companion of

[43:58]the Prophet today if you come and question any action of any

[44:01]of the companions of the Prophet right away they'll say you are

[44:04]attacking the sahaba you're against the sahaba hold up all we're doing

[44:10]is looking at the actions of some of the companions of the

[44:13]Prophet after the prophet weren wasn't there Civil Wars between the Muslims

[44:19]three wars were waged against after he was left in his home

[44:24]for 30 years finally when they came to him and they asked

[44:29]him to be They begged him to be the Khalifa then as

[44:35]soon as he assumed that POS he took that position the official

[44:38]position right away there were three Wars that were waged against him

[44:46]the Battle of jam the Battle of safin and the Battle of

[44:49]Nan these wars it wasn't a group of people that came from

[44:55]Mars it wasn't aliens that came and they fought many of them

[44:58]were the companions of the Prophet they turned against the IM of

[45:01]their time but today if you come and you say why what

[45:05]happened what's the reason for this one of them was wrong right

[45:08]away you are accused of causing sectarian problems Division and you are

[45:14]accused of attacking the sahabah we're not attacking anyone we're coming and

[45:18]seeing exactly what they did many of the companions of the Prophet

[45:26]they were killed by muaah mu he killed some of the most

[45:30]noble Companions of many Muslims were killed by Muslims is it wrong

[45:38]for me to come and ask mua he killedar y the man

[45:46]who said about him that you will be killed by the group

[45:50]that has been LED astray many of the companions of they were

[46:02]all killed by muaah and after muaah came yazid and he caused

[46:10]the same Bloodshed so my dear brothers and sisters why do we

[46:14]gather and remember Imam Hussein why do we cry for Imam Hussein

[46:18]why do we hold this majalis and keep remembering an event that

[46:25]happened over a thousand years ago the answer is not just so

[46:29]that we cry of course it is good to cry for IM

[46:34]Hussein and cried for IM Hussein and the all of the IMs

[46:39]they they shed tears for IM Hussein however there's a greater reason

[46:43]and that is so that we ask ourselves what happened in history

[46:49]why was it that the grandson of the Prophet was killed you

[46:54]know yazid he killed IM Hussein and and many of the companions

[46:57]of the prophet and then the next year after killing Imam Hussein

[47:03]he sent an army all the way to Medina because the people

[47:06]of Medina they rebelled against yazid so he sent an army to

[47:10]Medina and they entered with their horses and with their cattle inside

[47:15]the Masjid of Al and over 700 over 700 sah Companions of

[47:26]were killed in that event ya he made Medina meaning that it's

[47:35]for his soldiers for three days it is said that a year

[47:40]after that event there were a thousand babies that were born that

[47:44]no one knew who their fathers were why because a man like

[47:52]yazid he allowed his army to go and attack and desecrate the

[47:56]two of Al and the mid of and in the city of

[48:03]Al but today you find some people they're saying no no no

[48:06]don't ask don't come and criticize yazid don't talk about mua don't

[48:13]talk about yazid don't mention the crimes of these people because they

[48:16]saw the prophet and they heard from the prophet anyone who sees

[48:20]or hears the prophet right away this person becomes AUM an infallible

[48:24]but then when we say the prophet he himself is infallible they

[48:29]come and they tell us you guys are going too far so

[48:33]the reason that we mention and we remember IM Hussein is so

[48:41]that we educate ourselves so that we know exactly which path we

[48:45]are taking what decisions we are making in our lives IM Hussein

[48:51]was not just for 1,400 years ago Hussein is for our time

[48:54]today because we have to learn to educate ourselves and make wise

[49:02]decisions based on the knowledge that we receive not anyone who comes

[49:08]and tells you something right away you accept what that person says

[49:11]go and do your research go and learn go and do the

[49:15]research all of what I said today it's all mentioned in the

[49:17]books but for some they'll come and they'll tell you don't mention

[49:21]that don't talk about that why to keep people in the dark

[49:31]when we remember IM Hussein when we remember the we awaken our

[49:37]minds our hearts and our emotions because when your mind and your

[49:42]heart and your emotions are all in one line then you will

[49:48]be on the right path when you use your intellect and your

[49:53]heart and you shed your tears for IM Hussein that's when you

[49:57]will be on the right path and this is why we see

[50:02]that IM Hussein on the day of Ash he only had a

[50:07]small number of supporters compared to the enemies there were over 30,000

[50:14]that gathered to kill the grandson of rol but how many people

[50:17]did he himself have how many people were with IM hussein2 72

[50:22]men 72 and a few of the a few of the Companions

[50:30]and the family of IM Hussein if you count them all on

[50:36]that day they were probably around 150 with the men and the

[50:38]women and the children included and you know that many people they

[50:44]left IM Hussein there were some that started the journey from Mecca

[50:48]they started the journey it is said that there were over a

[50:51]thousand people with Imam Hussein and then once they heard new news

[50:56]that Muslim was killed in kufa thousands they began to leave IM

[51:05]Hussein why because they did not use their mind they did not

[51:08]use their intellect IM Hussein when he called people to join him

[51:12]in Mecca he tells them whoever joins me this person will be

[51:19]successful in that this person will meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and

[51:24]whoever does not does not join this person will not be able

[51:34]to achieve the victory that we will attain by sacrificing in the

[51:39]way of Allah some people they chose the side of yazid and

[51:43]others they chose the side of IM Hussein now my dear brothers

[51:51]and sisters which side are we going to choose are we going

[51:53]to choose the side that uses their intellect their knowledge and the

[51:57]faculties that Allah gave them or are we going to be led

[52:03]astray by our desires because some people who gathered to kill Imam

[52:06]Hussein on the day of Ash they had nothing against IM Hussein

[52:11]there were some of them that they hated Imam Hussein but the

[52:14]majority of them they had nothing against IM Hussein they just came

[52:17]here so that it is recorded and with yazid with zad that

[52:22]they were in this Army so that they will not be persecuted

[52:25]they will not be attacked and they will receive some gold and

[52:30]silver so make sure you know which side you are on now

[52:38]my dear brothers and sisters since we are still in the night

[52:46]of mam there's no shame in shedding tears for IM Hussein there

[52:51]is no shame in crying for IM Hussein the IMS of the

[52:59]bit they would cry for IM Hussein every year and every time

[53:03]they remember IM Hussein IM it is said that every time anytime

[53:10]they bring him anything to eat or anything to drink his food

[53:16]or his drink would be mixed with his tears for his father

[53:24]IM Hussein they come and they tell him oh grandson of rol

[53:27]Allah why is it how much longer are you going to be

[53:32]crying for IM Hussein for how long do you want to continue

[53:35]crying for IM Hussein he would tell them that Allah subhanahu wa

[53:44]taala took away from y Prophet y Allah took away his son

[53:47]yusf and yub had 12 sons and he was a prophet he

[53:54]knew that Yousef was alive he just was not with him him

[53:56]y kept crying because he lost YF where until he lost his

[54:04]eyes Allah says in the Quran and then he says how do

[54:14]you expect me not to cry when I saw my father and

[54:15]my family and my brothers and the companions of my father all

[54:25]killed one after the other he would would go to the butcher

[54:28]where the butcher is about to slaughter a sheep he would ask

[54:34]the butcher have you given water to this sheep before you Slaughter

[54:37]it the butcher would reply of course this is this is something

[54:43]that your pro this is something that your grandfather taught us he

[54:47]taught us to show even Mercy to an animal before it slaughtered

[54:51]then IM he would turn turn towards and say he says that

[55:16]even the cattle it is given water before it is slaughtered but

[55:20]you were killed thirsty oh abdah H Al the companion of IM

[55:29]he comes to the IM and he tells him say how much

[55:34]longer do you want to continue crying for your father IM Hussein

[55:41]IM he rep he tells him he says oh oh grandson of

[55:52]many men in your family have been killed your uncle IM Hassan

[55:57]your grandfather ham they were all killed in the way of Allah

[56:03]IM Hussein was also killed then the IM would reply oh ham

[56:22]yes our men have been killed but oh H have you ever

[56:29]heard of a hash a woman from our family taken as a

[56:32]prisoner from City to City this is what happened to the family

[56:40]of IM Hussein on a day like this they were taken from

[56:43]kufa and they were placed in Chains and they were taken all

[56:50]the way to the Palace of yaid let us raise our hands

[57:16]in Dua Allah Allah should should we ask questions or if anyone

[58:11]has any questions um regarding the topic or anything else um feel

[58:18]free to ask I know it's difficult to be the first person

[58:28]to ask yes sister yes there are types of knowledge of course

[58:45]there's nothing wrong with seeking knowledge broad knowledge however we have Hadith

[58:54]from the prophet he tells them that and the imams they tell

[58:57]their companions that you have to seek the knowledge that will be

[59:01]the most useful for you now what's the most useful knowledge for

[59:08]you the most useful knowledge for you if you believe in the

[59:12]afterlife if you believe in Allah is for you to be able

[59:17]to prepare for meeting Allah subhana wa ta'ala so that should be

[59:20]the most prioritized knowledge what does that mean that means that I

[59:24]have to pray so I have to learn how to pray I

[59:28]fast I have to learn how to fast I have rules that

[59:30]apply to me Islamic rules that apply to me I have to

[59:34]go and educate myself about these this is a an obligation upon

[59:42]every single one of us if for examp and you have to

[59:44]seek knowledge what based on what is necessary for you what you

[59:51]need to learn for example you're a business person if you're a

[59:54]business person then you need to learn the rules of business in

[59:57]Islam you need to learn the rules of finance and there are

[60:01]rules of Finance in Islam but if you're if you don't have

[60:02]to do with that then that does not apply to you so

[60:06]you have to seek the knowledge that is most important to you

[60:10]and the most important knowledge is seeking knowledge where you will not

[60:16]make mistakes where when you're praying when you're fasting when you're fulfilling

[60:18]your daily duties you're not going to make a mistake so that

[60:23]is the most prioritized knowledge then after that any type of knowledge

[60:29]is good any knowledge that will help you that will help you

[60:32]advance in life that will you know you could make a money

[60:36]make a living out of out of it there's nothing wrong with

[60:39]that there are some types of knowledge that are you one should

[60:44]not try to seek for example trying to learn to do magic

[60:47]because magic in itself for someone to perform magic it's Haram and

[60:52]it's all based upon fooling people people that's why it's Haram so

[60:57]that's a type of knowledge that will not help you in this

[60:59]life or in the afterlife this is something that you should uh

[61:05]abstain away from but the mo there you put it in priorities

[61:06]the first is your religion your faith and then after any other

[61:09]knowledge that could help you and then there's other knowledges other things

[61:13]that might hurt people or abuse or oppress people then that is

[61:20]something we stay away from yes it's very similar to our question

[61:23]so I know there are some knowled Pursuits of knowledge AR but

[61:29]for example philosophy is what I'm talking about or sociology or you

[61:33]know anthropology I've I've known people who study them and then they

[61:36]come out you know their their IM their a is different they

[61:38]become non-muslim even so what is the Islamic position that is that

[61:46]just recomended the the Islamic position is that you have to seek

[61:50]what is prioritized you have to go and try to learn for

[61:52]example someone goes into a field they know that for example if

[61:58]I go into that field it's going to shake my faith especially

[62:01]right now in universities universities one of the main objectives of universities

[62:07]is right away the professor is going to try to get you

[62:10]to shake your your faith right away they're going to try to

[62:15]get you to um say you know you're not going to be

[62:17]certain in what you believe in so in order there are certain

[62:24]classes that probably chances of you being led astray are much higher

[62:28]for example if you just go and learn math Medicine Science that

[62:31]doesn't have anything to do with your religion they're not going to

[62:35]shake your foundations but if you go in a course that will

[62:38]probably have an effect on you then yeah you should stay away

[62:42]from that until you go and you learn and you're able to

[62:45]back your faith until you're able to defend your faith because in

[62:48]Islam we don't have uh our faith is not just based you

[62:53]know we don't have our Scholars saying just believe and you will

[62:56]be saved no in Islam there is a way to strengthen your

[63:02]argument and your faith in Allah subhah wa taala in the Quran

[63:05]in the in the prophet so you should have certainty and then

[63:13]you could go and seek any type of knowledge there was a

[63:16]there was a man during the time of this man the prophet

[63:20]he walked in the Masjid and he saw that many of the

[63:22]Muslims they were gathered around a man so he asked what is

[63:29]this they told him this is a this is a very knowledgeable

[63:33]person so then Allah tells them what is he knowledgeable of they

[63:38]tell him he's knowledgeable in the pre-islamic Poetry the pre-islamic poetry and

[63:48]and the family trees of the Arabs this was something that the

[63:54]Arabs they it was you know their their priority their family tree

[63:58]and the Arabic poetry that they had so then the prophet he

[64:01]replied that is not real knowledge how are you going to benefit

[64:07]yourself if you know who's from which which tribe who's from which

[64:10]family tree then they ask the prophet what is the knowledge he

[64:18]tells them to know an ay a ay either a verse from

[64:20]the Quran or a sign of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and then

[64:25]a Sunnah of the Prophet to know a Sunnah of the prophet

[64:28]and third to know a to know an obligation upon yourself you

[64:35]have to pray you know how to pray you know exactly how

[64:38]to do the wo you know exactly your obligations that is real

[64:42]knowledge because that will save you in the afterlife that is something

[64:47]that will help you in this life and in the afterlife other

[64:49]types of knowledge it might be useful it might not be useful

[64:52]this is why the it's not that they were against knowledge because

[64:57]IM and they were the ones who taught chemistry and biology and

[65:01]all of and all of these teachings astronomy they were they were

[65:07]the founders of of these uh teachings and these Sciences so nothing

[65:11]is wrong with that because that will eventually bring you back to

[65:16]Allah subhana wa ta'ala if you are a good scientist you will

[65:19]conclude that there is a faith if you're a good doctor you

[65:23]will conclude that there is a God because you're a you're going

[65:26]to see all the signs they all come together and they all

[65:31]lead to one Creator so there's nothing wrong with that type of

[65:35]knowledge but there are some sciences that are not very useful okay
