[4:15]respected brothers and sisters one of the most important functions of islam

[4:22]as a religion is to guarantee and preserve the human rights and

[4:32]dignity of individuals religion is meant to create a healthy lifestyle a

[4:40]healthy being where everyone their human rights are preserved the rights that

[4:50]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given them the god given rights and

[4:54]allah subhanahu ta'ala has given us god-given rights the right to live

[4:59]this is a right by allah subhanahu ta'ala the right to live

[5:03]a prosperous and enjoyable life allah has given us that and this

[5:09]is the one of the functions of religion in order to be

[5:27]a religious person you have to have faith do good deeds what's

[5:37]allah and you have to stand for the truth you have to

[5:40]stand for the rights of others unfortunately today many people have disassociated

[5:51]human rights with religion why because some people in the name of

[5:55]religion they carry out atrocities they carry out crimes that show people

[6:02]that human rights are one thing and religion is one thing whereas

[6:05]islam when we look at the roots of islam and the words

[6:10]of rasulallah and the sunnah we see that human rights and islam

[6:17]as a religion are inseparable from one another if i'm a muslim

[6:21]then i have to be a person who upholds the human rights

[6:26]of other people i have to be a person who does not

[6:31]harm and oppress other people one of the greatest forms of injustice

[6:35]is oppression and it is true religion it is islam as a

[6:41]true religion the essence of religion now we're not talking about distorted

[6:45]and twisted religions because there's a lot of beliefs out there that

[6:50]are contradicting to human rights we're talking about islam as its core

[6:55]this the pure islam the islam of rasulallah the islam of the

[7:02]elevate that is an islam that upholds human rights and values because

[7:08]haqq the rights have been provided to us by god al-haqqim and

[7:12]fellaini and allah has given me as a human allah has given

[7:21]rights allah has given different categories within people men women even animals

[7:27]trees the climates there are rights a lot of us don't understand

[7:32]a lot of us don't realize that everything that we interact with

[7:36]has a haqq upon us and here when we look at the

[7:42]life of rasulallah and with the religion of islam came with we

[7:45]see that the religion of islam came with giving people back the

[7:49]rights why was islam such a popular popular religion because it brought

[7:56]back equality and brought back dignity to people it brought back the

[8:00]the dignity and the karma that god has given people one of

[8:07]the one of the qualities of society in that time in pre-islamic

[8:10]times was that they used to bury their daughters a lot there

[8:12]there was an animosity towards women and here islam came in talking

[8:23]about the the burial and the killing of the girl islam came

[8:31]and it created an equal level field where everyone is equal in

[8:39]the eyes of allah today's societies they divide people based on gender

[8:46]based on class based on race based on income islam comes we

[8:58]have created you male and female and made you into nations and

[9:04]tribes so that you get to know one another and allah the

[9:09]closest in the eyes of allah is the one who has the

[9:13]most taqwa so here take it out of your mind because some

[9:17]they have they think that religion is one thing and human rights

[9:21]are another thing no human rights and religion are inseparable from one

[9:26]another and that means being a religious person means that i have

[9:30]to be a person who upholds human rights i have to be

[9:34]a person who stands against injustice stands against economic inequality stands against

[9:38]racial inequality stands against any type of injustice has a beautiful statement

[9:46]he says the sustenance of the poor and the wealth of the

[10:01]wealthy meaning that if i'm rich means i have a duty to

[10:03]help those who are in need he says no poor person goes

[10:14]hungry except that wealth that portion was given to someone else someone

[10:19]who's extremely wealthy and they're just piling more money in their bank

[10:23]account now yes islam allows you to own your own money we're

[10:27]not talking about socialism or communism where you have no right to

[10:33]own anything but there has to be a limit there has to

[10:36]be a limit there has to be a form of zakat a

[10:39]form of charity and giving others and my dear brothers and sisters

[10:41]we see that those who are against the core of islam those

[10:47]who fought the prophets those who fought amir and minion those who

[10:51]fought imam and hussain more than religion it was about the debate

[10:56]and the prophet was standing for justice rasulullah and he tells people

[11:02]the white and the black are all the same in the eyes

[11:06]of god they didn't like that they said no these are our

[11:11]slaves you're coming and you're saying me and my slave are all

[11:13]in the same level we have to sit in the masjid next

[11:16]to one another the white and the black and people from this

[11:18]country and that country we all have to be in one line

[11:22]together they didn't like that and that is why they fought the

[11:26]prophet people after the prophets when you read islamic history you see

[11:30]that after the prophets those who came to power they went back

[11:34]they resorted to the jahili the pre-islamic lifestyle they started differentiating between

[11:39]the arab and the non-arab even within the arabs they started prioritizing

[11:44]quraish over the other arabs they started creating a class system and

[11:48]this kept getting worse and worse and worse until imam ali comes

[11:55]to power imam ali comes to power one of the first thing

[11:58]first things he does is he creates equality and they wage three

[12:03]wars against him three civil wars civil wars were waged in islam

[12:07]not because they didn't imam ali was not the rightful person not

[12:13]because imam ani was doing something no because they wanted they were

[12:17]enjoying the inequality they're all different so for example you're an arab

[12:21]you're a man you're from this tribe you receive this much salary

[12:24]income if you're from a lower and their eyes lower in the

[12:29]eyes of allah we're all the same you receive less one day

[12:32]a lady comes to amir and minion she tells him i think

[12:34]you made a mistake they used to give a weekly or monthly

[12:38]stipend she comes to him and she tells him i think you

[12:40]made a mistake when giving me why he tells her why she

[12:44]said you gave me the same as you gave my servant three

[12:47]dinars and three dinars so he tells her i read the book

[12:53]of allah i didn't see anywhere where it says that the white

[12:55]is better than the black or the arab is better than the

[12:59]non-era go and they became upset some people didn't like the justice

[13:02]some people couldn't stand for the justice now my dear brothers and

[13:06]sisters the reason why we're talking about this is a few days

[13:10]ago on the 25th of muharram we commemorated the martyrdom of imam

[13:14]zayn imam ali now a lot of us when you imagine imam

[13:24]saying you imagine someone who's weak someone who's always crying someone who

[13:29]is always saddened because imam said he's the only surviving son of

[13:33]imam and hussain and he saw the whole calamity in front of

[13:35]him so he spent the rest of his life crying for remember

[13:38]her saying and he has given us the duas and the supplications

[13:42]sometimes we imagine imam jain is someone who is always crying and

[13:49]mourning but imam's in the habit he has left behind such a

[13:56]great legacy in terms of human rights and one of his greatest

[14:02]legacies is a letter that he read that he sent to his

[14:04]companions by the name of the treaties on human rights now my

[14:13]dear brothers and sisters this treaties on human rights was the first

[14:17]of its kind right now when you go to school when you

[14:21]go to college they come and they talk about documents that were

[14:27]written that preserve human rights the first one i remember you all

[14:32]we've all heard about is the magna carta many of you have

[14:35]probably heard of the magna carta the magna carta was written in

[14:38]1215 common era and then you have the english bill of rights

[14:44]in 1689 the french declaration of rights of man and citizen in

[14:49]1789 after the french revolution and then you have the u.s constitution

[14:54]which is also a document on rights that was in 1791 do

[14:59]you know when imam said gave us the resale the treaty's own

[15:05]rights and the year he the year he died was 713.

[15:09]look where islam is look where the leaders of islam and look

[15:13]at where others are and then it's funny today people accuse islam

[15:17]of being a religion that is against human rights you come and

[15:21]you look at this document this document so over over a thousand

[15:24]years in some cases but before before for example the before the

[15:32]u.s constitution imam zayn al-abidin he comes and he he provides us

[15:35]a document on human rights and this tree is this letter he

[15:43]states 50 rights over 50 rights beginning with the right of god

[15:49]god has a right god has a huck secular society they come

[15:54]they give everyone the right the man the woman the animal the

[15:56]climate this all of that everyone has rights but god has no

[15:59]rights is this fair how can we live in a society where

[16:05]we give everyone or we think we're giving everyone rights but we

[16:09]have not given the right of god imam saying he comes and

[16:13]he gives us a holistic approach because sometimes even right now they

[16:16]come and they say oh the woman they have this right or

[16:19]the men have this rights you know this conflict between feminists and

[16:22]and the rights of men and all that sometimes when you give

[16:27]rights to one you might be taking away the rights of another

[16:30]this is why we go to islam we go to rasulallah we

[16:33]go to the quran we see it gives us a holistic approach

[16:38]and this allah this document on human rights was provided for us

[16:43]by imam zayn abedin in a context in a time where human

[16:46]rights were stripped from everyone imagine he kills imam he rules for

[16:55]three years the first year he kills imam and hussain is there

[16:57]anyone greater than imam hussain he comes and he kills him that

[17:00]means no one could speak no one could say anything the grandson

[17:04]of the prophet was butchered in daylight so is anyone greater than

[17:10]hussein so that means he they had no red lines imam is

[17:13]saying the second year after killing imam and hussain you know imam

[17:18]hussain before leaving madinah he left medina and then he goes to

[17:23]mecca and then in medina and in mecca he declares that he's

[17:27]revolting against yazid the people of madina they betrayed him the people

[17:30]of medina did not go out with him the people of mecca

[17:35]they betrayed imam and hussain you know most of the supporters of

[17:38]the hussain were from kufa they were able to escape they were

[17:42]able to escape the the siege that and they joined him and

[17:49]they others they joined from different places the people of madina and

[17:54]mecca refused to be with imam and hussain the next year the

[17:57]next year he killed him saying in year 61 the next year

[18:01]he sent an army to sack the city of madina where they

[18:05]say over 10 000 people in madina were killed he just sent

[18:10]his army and he tells them madina the city of the prophet

[18:12]is halal upon you meaning go and do whatever you want they

[18:16]say it's called they say that after that event over 1 000

[18:22]babies were born and no one knows who their father is imagine

[18:26]in the city of assad the third year the people of mecca

[18:33]they rebel against yazid and yazid he catapults the kaaba he they

[18:37]burn the kaapa and they destroy the wall of the kaaba they

[18:42]catapulted so here if they had stood with imam hussain who was

[18:46]preserving the rights this would all have not happened but they did

[18:50]not stand with him so the context that imam said is giving

[18:54]us this is a very important context where there are no rights

[19:00]society the rulers have stripped away the rights of people and there

[19:06]is economic inequality there's racial inequality there's no social justice and imam

[19:14]zayn in this context he comes and he gives us this beautiful

[19:17]letter inshallah in the second sermon we will explain some of the

[19:21]some of the rights of this allah these treaties on rights by

[19:26]imam zainal abedin which was the first of its kind no no

[19:30]letter before that other than of course the quran which is a

[19:34]book of rights but a document written by a person by a

[19:37]human being that speaks about human rights and human dignity and the

[19:43]rights of people and society and the rights of things rights of

[19:48]everything this was by imam before the magna carta much before the

[19:53]french declaration much before the bill of rights a thousand years before

[20:00]the bill of rights comes and he gives us a document on

[20:02]rights foreign foreign [Music] on and we have to acknowledge that there

[22:19]are rights a person that does not acknowledge that they have obligations

[22:22]and others have rights as a person that is senseless you have

[22:27]to always acknowledge that other people other things anyone that you interact

[22:32]with anyone that you live with has rights there are rules to

[22:37]live by and this is what religion comes with allah we sent

[22:50]our prophets and messengers 124 000 prophets and messengers and we gave

[22:55]them the books and we supported them with the knowledge we supported

[23:00]them with the foundation for what just to tell people go and

[23:03]pray no so that you preserve rights so that the neighbors preserve

[23:07]the night rights of their neighbors so that the family they know

[23:10]the rights of their children the children know the rights of their

[23:13]parents the brothers the siblings the cousins the co-workers whoever you interact

[23:20]with has rights and we need to acknowledge that in a document

[23:28]over 1 000 years ago he comes and he acknowledges rights in

[23:33]a time where society was stripped away from all rights no rights

[23:37]people did not no one no one cared there was no rights

[23:39]the grandson of the prophet he was butchered his rights was taken

[23:45]away from him he was not given a drop of water so

[23:46]here he begins if you want to acknowledge rights of individuals you

[23:52]have to begin by acknowledging the hack of god god has a

[23:55]right upon us god is our creator and god has a haqq

[23:59]upon us all right so he says that you you worship god

[24:16]and do not associate and partner with god this is the right

[24:20]this god deserves that god is the one who created you that

[24:25]is the hub of god if you do that with sincerity if

[24:35]you do that allah will make you where you are not in

[24:40]need of anything in this dunya and in the afterlife and god

[24:46]will preserve for you what you love from this dunya and from

[24:49]so it's a good a good transaction you worship god and no

[24:54]one other than god and god will give you dunya this life

[24:57]and the afterlife is that a fair transaction that's a very fair

[25:00]transaction second he says you as an individual you have a hug

[25:09]the nafs the soul the soul that god has given us has

[25:13]a right you need to give yourself that dignity you need to

[25:17]give yourself that karama allah subhanahu ta'ala has created every single one

[25:21]of us with dignity and in a hadith attributed to god he

[25:29]says i have given my abd my servant the ability to do

[25:32]whatever they want but they have no right to do anything that

[25:37]takes away from their own dignity and quran you can't take away

[25:41]your dignity you have to live a dignified lifestyle this is how

[25:44]god created you and this is what allah wants from you if

[25:54]you want to preserve your right as a your soul then you

[25:58]need to keep yourself connected with god worship allah you want to

[26:04]do justice to yourself then you need to connect yourself to god

[26:08]and then he says and to give your tongue it's right don't

[26:15]don't do something that will get you in trouble as a result

[26:19]of your tongue a lot of the people they end up doing

[26:22]wrong they end up hurting others they end up saying something and

[26:27]they have to pay the price for it as a result of

[26:30]not controlling their tongue so he says the first your nafs your

[26:34]soul and then you're nissan and your ears your hearing as a

[26:40]right does that mean that i should listen to everything out there

[26:43]no i need to control what i listen to and to your

[26:49]vision it has a right should i look at everything out there

[26:53]no there are certain things that are toxic right now do you

[26:56]find someone who says i will eat everything that's out there i

[26:58]go to a restaurant i eat everything no common sense tells us

[27:02]that we have to filter what we eat we have to filter

[27:04]what we consume and same with what we see and what we

[27:10]hear and what we say that also requires filtering your feet have

[27:16]a right you could walk to somewhere like a masjid allah will

[27:19]give you with every step reward and if you walk for example

[27:24]or seeking knowledge allah will give you with every step reward but

[27:27]walking to do something walking to commit a crime this is you

[27:30]taking away the right of your body of your legs your stomach

[27:39]has the rights upon you god has given you the stomach the

[27:44]stomach it helps you grow it helps you nourish it helps send

[27:47]the nutrients to your body place in it that which is a

[27:52]right upon you the private parts have a right upon you and

[27:59]turn to allah in regards to all of these things there's a

[28:05]hadith interesting hadith that says that every day every day your hands

[28:09]and your legs and your skin and your body they speak to

[28:12]you they tell you please please don't do anything wrong because we

[28:17]will pay for the price for it in the afterlife please don't

[28:21]do anything haram with these hands please don't do anything haram with

[28:24]these legs because we end up paying the price so this is

[28:28]and then he moves on the rights of actions there are certain

[28:33]actions one of the most important actions that we all have to

[28:42]perform is the rights upon us it has a hat upon us

[28:50][Music] meaning that you are being you're going you're speaking to allah

[29:04]subhanahu ta'ala and when you are praying don't think you think of

[29:09]yourself that you're coming and you're standing here and wherever you are

[29:14]whichever environment when you're praying he says consider yourself standing before god

[29:19]how would if you know just changing the mind shift having a

[29:23]mind shift it will it will help you focus in your prayer

[29:28]when you're praying stand as if you're the only person and god

[29:33]is there imagine yourself on the day of judgment you're standing before

[29:37]god if we have that our salah will be very different so

[29:39]he says there's a hack of salah give it it's right there's

[29:42]a hadith that says on the day of judgment your salah it

[29:47]will come to you in a view in a physical vision it

[29:52]will come in a physical form we will see the embodiment of

[29:58]our actions whether it's good or it's bad if your salah you

[30:00]took care of it you preserved it this allah is going to

[30:04]come and hold your hand and take you to paradise because you

[30:07]preserve that salah and the hadith says that the person who did

[30:10]pray but they did not care for their prayer they did not

[30:15]pay attention they were not aware they didn't see it as a

[30:16]relationship as a language as something that brings them to allah subhanahu

[30:22]ta'ala the salah will come and it will tell the person you

[30:29]did not care for me then therefore i cannot help you now

[30:33]i cannot support you now so here you have to give your

[30:38]prayer that's right that's the first and then he says he says

[30:53]if you know that then the way that you stand in front

[30:56]of god is going to be very different you're going to be

[31:00]more humble in your prayer you're going to pray the prayer of

[31:03]khashogg and then the imam lists many of the actions the right

[31:06]of the hajj hajj has a right upon me have i gone

[31:09]to hajj have i given it it's right the right of the

[31:13]fasting and the month of ramadan the right of charity the right

[31:15]of offering and then he moves on to the right of subjects

[31:19]so the right of your imam the rights of the people who

[31:25]are in authority of course the righteous people the rights of the

[31:28]one who teaches you your teacher the right of the husband the

[31:31]rights of the wife the rights of the father the rights of

[31:36]the you know anyone that you've shared why do they call salat

[31:38]rahim why is it called it's the womb means of the mother

[31:45]that's that's called is one of the most important obligations in islam

[31:55]and breaking off the relationship that is a a blood relative that

[32:00]is one of the greatest sins in islam breaking off a relationship

[32:03]with a family member a blood relative why is it called because

[32:09]at one point in time you were in a womb with this

[32:14]person go back several decades several centuries you go back to one

[32:18]womb with this person that's why it's called and even if you

[32:22]have a disagreement with someone who is a blood relative you should

[32:26]not escalate it to become worse where you do not talk to

[32:29]one another and you should not be the one that disconnects because

[32:36]and the hadith says that is connected with the mercy of allah

[32:42]if someone disconnects with their family then allah will disconnect this person

[32:48]from his own mercy so you want the mercy of god to

[32:53]be continuous showering upon you then do not be the one who

[32:55]disconnects one of the rights the beautiful rights that the imam mentions

[33:00]is the rights of the mother imagine a thousand years ago the

[33:06]imam is telling people about the rights of the mother now imam

[33:10]when he was born his mother passed away as soon as giving

[33:14]birthday she died in her nephes right after giving birth to him

[33:21]she died there was a caretaker a lady that used to take

[33:26]it is said that he used to he used to say i'm

[33:31]embarrassed to sit on the same table and eat with her it

[33:35]says it to my mother because she was like a mother to

[33:40]him why are you embarrassed to sit on the same table and

[33:42]eat with your mother he says because i'm afraid she has her

[33:46]eyes on something and my hands go to it before so she

[33:49]has her eyes on something he says i don't want to put

[33:53]myself in that situation where she might want to she desires something

[33:57]and i will reach my hand out for that first look how

[34:03]imaginative speaks of the lady that raised him and look at how

[34:06]some people treat their mothers today their biological mothers the mother that

[34:10]raised you the mother that couldn't sleep because of you the mother

[34:12]that went through so much they come and they fight over food

[34:18]they fight over silly things with their parents he says as your

[34:22]mother the right of your mother know that she carried you in

[34:34]a way that no one carries any other person who's willing to

[34:39]carry a person for nine months in their womb where it disturbs

[34:43]your sleep it disturbs your life it disturbs your wa your body

[34:49]the most beautiful thing for a lady is her body her looks

[34:52]she comes and she changes that she sacrifices that for your sake

[34:56]no one else is willing to do that he says and she

[35:05]gave you from her heart from the love of her heart in

[35:09]a way that no one gives anyone else and she gave you

[35:24]in a way where she would go hungry so that you are

[35:29]full she would be she would not have what she wants for

[35:32]your sake so that you have if you're thirsty if you're hungry

[35:38]whatever it is she comes and she gives you what's and she

[35:44]does not sleep for your sink her mother she's the one who

[35:49]wakes up to feed her child foreign he says she did all

[36:00]of that for you so you will not be able to thank

[36:03]your mother except by tawfiq from allah you need god's support to

[36:08]help you show appreciation to your mother one day a man comes

[36:12]to rasulullah he says i carried my mother on my back to

[36:16]perform the hajj at that time there were no wheelchairs so he

[36:20]has his mother carried on his back and he performs the hajj
