[0:00]at year 254 and then Imam Al Hassan it becomes the Imam

[0:06]and Alaska is poisoned and he passes away now it is very

[0:12]unfortunate that many of us especially even the followers of the added

[0:15]babes we do not know much about the imams of the base

[0:21]we don't know much about the imams we know about Imam Ali

[0:24]we know about Imam Hussain but we don't know about the other

[0:29]imams and this is a problem we need to familiarize ourselves with

[0:33]our imams with our leaders one of the qualities and features of

[0:39]Imam alaskari According to some of the narrations is that he had

[0:48]dark complexion and this is said about some of the other imams

[0:51]as well like Imam al-jawad for example Imam some of the other

[0:55]imams and here it's a shame that sometimes even we see in

[1:00]the depiction of the of the images the images of the imams

[1:06]you see that they're drawn as white individuals and they look like

[1:10]they're they're white that's not true that's not the case first of

[1:14]all these images they have no meaning whatsoever these images do not

[1:17]resemble the imams and these images are what the painter or the

[1:25]one who's drawing these are this is how this person perceives the

[1:28]Imam to be but this is not how the imams were just

[1:32]like today when we see the images of Jesus how do they

[1:35]how do Europeans and Americans and and in our society portray the

[1:40]image of Jesus a white man with blue eyes and blonde hair

[1:45]This Is How They portray Jesus when in fact probably most likely

[1:51]Jesus did not look like them Jesus looked like the people of

[1:54]that time people that lived in that particular area and this is

[1:59]the beauty about Islam my dear brothers and sisters the closest in

[2:08]the eyes of Allah is the one who has the most taqwa

[2:15]the one who has the most piety and Islam from an Islamic

[2:20]perspective Allah does not look at the color of the skin or

[2:22]the money or all of these things that a person has and

[2:26]this is the beauty of Islam another very important point is that

[2:32]there are many contributions many of us are not familiar with for

[2:39]example there is a tapsio a book of tapsir called Imam al-hassan

[2:46]of the Quran many people are unaware of that many people are

[2:52]not familiar with that he had a huge impact on the shias

[2:58]on the followers of the Eden base where he was teaching them

[3:01]Islam and the essence of Islam of course was persecuted and subjugated

[3:12]to a lot of persecution during his life as we mentioned he

[3:17]was in an open-air prison and sometimes in his life he was

[3:21]imprisoned he was imprisoned he was taken to a prison and the

[3:28]Khalifa would tell people he would send people to harass him but

[3:30]later on he comes and he sees these people who were sent

[3:35]to harass the Imam they're praying he tells them why are you

[3:37]praying with him they say because we don't see him doing anything

[3:40]wrong he's either fasting during the day he would instead of seeing

[3:45]the Shia and talking to them face to face he would have

[3:51]one representative who was representing him and the Shia would interact with

[3:55]that representative or sometimes they used to write letters topia this is

[3:59]the system of Tokyo meaning the people letters would come they would

[4:03]be they would give it to that one person that person he

[4:05]comes and he gives it to the Imam and the Imam would

[4:10]answer and he would put his handwriting and his signature and this

[4:13]is exactly how Imam Imam for 70 years during the this is

[4:23]how he was communicating with his followers one thing has said that

[4:28]during the time of Imam asked one another and he wrote a

[4:32]full book he wrote a full book by the name of tanako

[4:37]the Quran he's saying there's Tanaka there's contradiction within the Quran he

[4:43]answered his answer was that can it be so where one person

[4:50]says something and you understand it in a different way is that

[4:53]a possibility he said yes maybe you thought the one that verse

[5:00]was saying such a thing this is why you see one group

[5:04]of people they say the tafsira of this verse means such and

[5:06]such another group says the tapeseed of this means such and such

[5:09]in this case who do we go to we have to go

[5:16]to rasulullah because they are the only ones that can give us

[5:20]the accurate into intrusion of the Quran we need a professor you

[5:24]need a doctor you need an expert to come and explain some

[5:29]of the things in the textbook we do this at school we

[5:32]do this in life all the time this is the same when

[5:36]it comes to the Holy Quran now my dear brothers and sisters

[5:43]I wanted to mention one of the Hadith of Imam alaskari to

[5:47]his fellow shias he wrote a letter to his followers and by

[5:52]the time of the life of Imam alaskari the number of the

[5:58]shias was in the thousands and they're not just in Samara you

[6:02]have in kufa you have an um you have in many of

[6:07]the Muslim cities all across the world there are followers so the

[6:12]Imam he writes this letter and this is a letter to us

[6:16]as well my dear brothers and sisters this is not just to

[6:17]the people who lived at that time 1200 years ago he says

[6:25]he tells his Shia who will say my advice to you is

[6:35]to have taqwa piety in Allah if you're only to take one

[6:46]thing out of this world with you out of this life take

[6:50]tatwa what is the state of God Consciousness taqwa is a state

[6:56]of always being alert to Allah in times of Happiness some people

[7:05]they do things that they start committing sin give you immunity and

[7:09]it's the purpose of all of our worship Allah says in the

[7:11]Quran during the months of Ramadan the goal of our worship is

[7:22]fasting has been made obligatory upon you so that you protect yourself

[7:26]so you have to be careful not to commit a sin some

[7:30]of us we're very particular we're very cautious when it comes to

[7:35]for example traffic laws when it comes to our health when it

[7:38]comes to the taxes we don't want to do something that's illegal

[7:42]and this is good but we have to be cautious when it

[7:47]comes to our religion as well he says means struggling in the

[7:57]way of Allah you have to struggle because heaven is not for

[8:02]free we know in this life is anything free in this life

[8:06]nothing is free in this life Heaven is also not free so

[8:08]you have to struggle if you're struggling you're striving you have to

[8:21]struggle for Allah and you have to be honest when you speak

[8:31]and hold the trust whoever gave you a trust whether this person

[8:38]is a righteous person or this person is a sinner if they

[8:40]came and they entrusted you with something what do you have to

[8:46]do you have to protect it you have to protect it with

[8:49]all that you have and this is the Imam is being very

[8:54]clear you have to hold on to the trust to whoever entrusted

[8:55]you better win or Fajr whether this person's good or bad today

[9:00]there are some people they say oh it's purple they're not Muslim

[9:02]it's okay if I betray them it's okay if I don't keep

[9:07]the trust of them this is not Islam they did not believe

[9:12]in him as a prophet but they used to come and put

[9:15]their money with him because they knew he was asada I mean

[9:18]they knew he was the truthful they knew he was honest he's

[9:22]never going to steal it from them this is why rasulullah when

[9:24]he migrated to Medina he left Imam Ali in Makkah one of

[9:30]the responsibilities of Imam Ali was to return the Amana to return

[9:32]the trust to the people they don't believe in him as a

[9:37]prophet but they trust him and this is how a Muslim should

[9:38]be where everyone trusts you everyone could say I could trust this

[9:41]person today there are some people you can't trust them with five

[9:46]dollars is supposed to be someone who's trusted with everything he tells

[9:57]them if you want to be good individuals prolong your sujood what

[10:01]does prolonging the sujood mean prolonging the sujood means that you're praying

[10:06]means that you have a relationship with God it means that you're

[10:10]humble because it grounds you to the ground why do we put

[10:16]the highest Parts the most respected part of your body you come

[10:20]and you put it on the earth you put it on the

[10:21]ground because it's when we put it on the soil we are

[10:26]reminded that this is our end from it we created you and

[10:37]to it we will return you and from it the Earth we

[10:43]will resurrect you what all is be a good neighbor if you

[10:47]have neighbors even if they're non-muslim even if they're bad neighbors you'll

[10:51]be a good neighbor it is said that the neighbor of Imam

[10:56]he would raise the value of his house he wanted the people

[11:02]came and offered him to buy the house he raised the value

[11:04]they tell him why are you raising the value the area for

[11:08]example all houses in this area there this particular price he's raising

[11:12]it a lot more he says I'm raising it because I have

[11:17]a neighbor like Imam anytime there's food in the house he comes

[11:19]and he brings me he's always checking up on me he's always

[11:22]saying salaam he's always this is how you have to be sunny

[11:38]meaning you want to Define Islam to people Define Islam by being

[11:43]a good neighbor Define Islam by being a trustworthy person Define Islam

[11:49]through your manners through your sujood and then he's telling his shias

[11:54]how to deal with nonsense right there's a lot of nunchias there's

[12:03]a lot of people who are Sunni anxious he says of the

[12:09]people who are not the Shia as well and visits the ill

[12:17]from those who are different than you and give them the rights

[12:24]don't say they're not Shia they're not followers of the unbeats I

[12:28]should not respect them and then he says he says when one

[12:45]of you when one of you had voila and their faith and

[12:50]was truthful in their words and you were entrusted you gave people

[12:54]all of that which is filthy and Ill away from the other

[12:59]ways if I'm if I have a bad mouth what are people

[13:04]going to say about my leaders if I am always giving people

[13:10]a bad impression of Islam that people are going to say this

[13:12]is Islam these are the Muslims but Islam is not like that

[13:18]foreign and then he says we are the ones who are purified

[13:55]in the book of Allah no one could come and claim that

[13:58]they are pure except they're a liar because the only ones who

[14:03]are purified by Allah are the Allah remember Allah and remember that

[14:15]what's in the Quran and the recitation of the Quran was upon

[14:31]the prophet Allah will multiply that reward by 10 times remember what

[14:38]I tell you this is some people remember this and I leave

[14:48]you in the protection of God and I send my salaams to

[14:53]you see anyone for saying my dear brothers and sisters throughout the

[15:33]Quran we see that Allah constantly orders us as Believers to do

[15:38]that which is good you're an ancient Society if you see something

[15:43]wrong you have to speak out you have to try people have

[15:49]to stand for the truth in another verse what does that mean

[16:03]that means you have to enjoy the good you have to try

[16:08]to seek the truth and stand for the truth and my dear

[16:13]brothers and sisters this means that we have to the least thing

[16:16]you could do is and this is this is the world we

[16:23]need to show America we need to show Michigan even your own

[16:26]local town that you exist you're a person who's paying taxes you're

[16:30]a member of society so you need to show people that you

[16:36]exist when you show people that you exist and you have a

[16:38]voice then you will be respected then you will be heard and

[16:41]we my dear brothers and sisters need to have an active role

[16:48]in the community now yes there are a lot of things that

[16:54]are going on that are bad sometimes we Muslims were stuck in

[16:57]a bad or worse situation it's there's never an ideal situation especially

[17:02]for Muslims it's not like the politicians and several others and on

[17:09]the other side you have alhan zubair and Aisha and several others

[17:12]so there was a man by the name of he comes to

[17:18]the namah I'm confused we were it's a very very important word

[17:25]and if we follow this in our life then we will always

[17:27]be with the truth he says you do not know hack and

[17:38]battle through people but instead you don't know don't judge people that

[17:50]this this person is the barometer of the truth then I will

[17:55]always follow this person follow the truth and see who is applying

[17:58]the truth in their life then you don't just follow someone who

[18:03]is who looks good or someone who may probably be speaks very

[18:07]well follow the truth and then the truth will guide you to

[18:12]who to follow so my dear brothers and sisters there are this

[18:16]is the the governors on the line there's a lot of things

[18:22]that the books the the books um inappropriate books in the schools

[18:25]this could be done at a school board you can vote for

[18:30]the school board members so you just need to have a voice

[18:32]my dear brothers and sisters and as I mentioned three weeks ago

[18:36]there are also proposals there are proposals that are um now three

[18:43]proposals the first one proposal one is for the term limits of

[18:46]state legislatures so if you vote yes that means your problems here

[18:51]and there but because it protects the rights of minorities but at

[18:54]the end of the day my dear brothers and sisters Islam says

[18:56]abortion is allowed it's an exception it shouldn't be what is always

[19:03]it shouldn't become the rule it should be an exception there are

[19:08]always Haram unless there's reasons for it to become there are some

[19:12]exceptions we're saying vote Yes on this so at the end of

[19:17]the day you do your own research and make sure that you

[19:20]speak out against any battle that you see if you see wrong

[19:26]you have to speak out against it my dear brothers and sisters

[19:28]you see wrong you have to speak out against it my dear

[19:33]brothers and sisters I wanted to remind you all the time this

[19:35]is a good problem to have but we will not be able

[19:39]to find a place except with the support of the community and

[19:42]Insha'Allah we plan on this Center to be a center for the

[19:49]community meeting the needs of the community alhamdulillah the diverse Community here

[19:53]in Canton we try to aim to please everyone and our whole

[19:57]purpose is to seek the satisfaction of Allah so if you cannot

[20:03]I forgot to announce just a second um next week Salah will

[20:07]be at 12 30 inshallah because of the daylight savings Salah will

[20:12]begin at 12 30 and foreign
