[2:16]foreign foreign [Music] Muhammad foreign foreign respected Brothers we have we are

[4:13]beginning within the next few days we are going to be beginning

[4:19]the holy month of rajab and the month of rajab is one

[4:28]of the four sacred months one of the Haram Allah says in

[4:32]the Quran and Allah Allah made 12 months and out of those

[4:46]12 months there are four there are four months out of the

[4:55]twelve they are considered to be sacred months one of them is

[4:59]Raja these are the sacred months and this is even in pre-islamic

[5:09]times because during the month of Raja in pre-islamic times people used

[5:14]to perform their so they used to not fight with one another

[5:17]they used to put their swords down not fight with one another

[5:22]during the month of amrah and same with the month of the

[5:24]month of Hajj one month before and one month after they would

[5:30]not fight with one another it was Haram even in the jahiliyah

[5:33]period in pre-islamic times they would not fight with one another clutchup

[5:38]is one of the Sacred months and it happens also to be

[5:46]the beginning of the season of spirituality just like we have seasons

[5:50]throughout the year we have spring summer winter fall the beginning of

[5:55]the season of spirituality is the beginning of the month of ajab

[6:03]and it culminates into Shaban and then you have Ramadan a lot

[6:07]of people in the month of Ramadan comes that's when they slowly

[6:10]want to start doing taking the book of picking up the Quran

[6:16]start doing certain things well if you really want to be ready

[6:19]and you want to maximize the benefits of the month of Ramadan

[6:26]then you have to begin in Raja you have to begin in

[6:28]Bhajan and this is why rajab is the season of prayer rajab

[6:34]is the season of Dua rajab is the season of fasting and

[6:37]Allah says in the Quran that we all are in need of

[6:44]having the having that closeness with God many of us we live

[6:48]our life days and weeks and months pass and we have no

[6:57]relationship with Allah we are not praying we are not fasting we're

[7:01]not doing anything that is bringing us close to Allah Allah says

[7:06]in the Quran the Believers when you hear the Quran when you

[7:16]hear the liquor of Allah this should bring you closer to Allah

[7:25]don't be like those people who were given the kitab from before

[7:31]meaning the people of the book that there there was a long

[7:35]distance between them and spirituality so the month of rajab is the

[7:40]month of oh for three days Monday or Tuesday will be the

[7:47]first of rajab in a Hadith he says rajab is the month

[7:58]of God that is it is so great and then he says

[8:05]None of the other months come near the month of rajab and

[8:12]harma in sanctity the month of rajab is sacred because we mentioned

[8:15]it's one of the assurance and Fatherland in greatness and in the

[8:20]Hadith rajab is referred to asab El asab what does asab mean

[8:30]asab when you say pour the water because the rahma of God

[8:36]the mercy of God pours on the individual it comes down it

[8:41]drains out the individual individual this is why it's called and foreign

[10:01]and closing and controlling our eyes from looking at Haram and don't

[10:09]make us only you tell the person what did you receive in

[10:14]Ramadan they say I was just hungry and thirsty that's all some

[10:16]people that's all that they got out of Ramadan they were just

[10:18]hungry and thirsty there's no closeness to God there's none of that

[10:24]how do I maximize the benefits of Ramadan might be getting in

[10:28]my job by beginning in Shabbat you want the fruit to grow

[10:32]you have to work on it many months in advance you have

[10:35]to water in the plant you have to put fertilizer you have

[10:40]to take care of it so that the plant so that you

[10:42]will sow the the fruits so that you will reap the benefits

[10:47]of what you have planted and you need to plant much earlier

[10:50]and another Hadith from Imam salaam talking about the fasting the reward

[10:56]of fasting during this is why a lot of people if they

[11:01]have me if they have fasting to make up for example last

[11:04]year you missed a few days the best time to make it

[11:09]up is during rajab and Shabbat this is the best time to

[11:15]make it up and Muslim he says if you've asked one day

[11:25]in rajab the Hellfire will be one year of traveling further away

[11:29]from you and if you fast three days then Allah will make

[11:38]you from those who go to heaven and of course it doesn't

[11:43]mean that I just fast for three days and I automatically go

[11:45]to heaven there's many things that need to be done correctly but

[11:49]this is something that will help you in another Hadith he says

[11:55]is a river in Paradise it's the name of a river in

[12:02]Paradise it's wider than milk and it is sweeter than then honey

[12:18]if you fast one day Allah will allow you to drink and

[12:28]quench your thirst from that River in Paradise imagine being able to

[12:31]drink from that River now my dear brothers and sisters the month

[12:36]of rajab is the season of spirituality and you see the many

[12:43]and the Believers they are those who search for opportunities to attain

[12:51]spirituality there was a companion of Imam his name is Muhammad IBN

[12:59]zakwan they label him one of his titles is a sajjad so

[13:05]Imam but this companion of the Imam he's also called the sajjad

[13:10]and this shows you that even the companions of the imams or

[13:13]we we can follow in the steps of the imams imams but

[13:18]this man who he was such a worshiper that they began to

[13:23]call him a sajjad Muhammad he goes to the Imam and he

[13:29]says he says I go to the Imam and I ask him

[13:39]to teach me that Allah will benefit me I will benefit as

[13:44]a result of reciting this dog all of you tried to memorize

[13:54]this tried to read this in the talking about after every prayer

[13:57]during the month of rajab yeah and then he says and then

[14:40]he says hold your beard if you're a man hold your chin

[14:45]yeah make my face and my Sheba be Haram of Imam asada

[15:03]is the truthful one he's teaching us how to speak to Allah

[15:09]and we have the month of opportunities the month of blessings we

[15:12]have to take advantage of that my dear brothers and sisters another

[15:19]very important Merit and important thing to perform during the job is

[15:24]to perform the umrah to perform the ziara ziara of the prophet

[15:28]of all of the it is highly recommended to visit in Raja

[15:36]and if you're able to visit rasulallah if you're a ble to

[15:41]visit then you added mate for some many are some believers they

[15:45]plan they plan their trip around the month of Raja so that

[15:51]they get the tawab of the ziara of the masumin during the

[15:53]month of rajab and there's a zyara alhamdulillah you say there's a

[16:08]specific that is to be done during the month of rajab my

[16:13]dear brothers and sisters there are many Islamic events during the month

[16:17]of rajab as well the first of rajab begins with the birth

[16:22]of Imam Muhammad the second of rajab is the birth of Imam

[16:26]the third of rajab is the martyrdom of Imam the tenth of

[16:35]rajab is the birth of Imam the 13th of rajab is the

[16:40]birth of who and the 27th of rajab is the day of

[16:56]the day that the prophet was commissioned and of course the martyrdom

[17:01]of say the zainab is also during the month of Raja I

[17:04]will end here in the next couple we will talk about Imam

[17:08]Allah Muhammad is my dear brothers and sisters in him on the

[19:23]day of judgment everyone will will be called to stand behind their

[19:31]Imam what does this mean this means that we need to have

[19:37]a stronger relationship with our imams we need to have a stronger

[19:41]relationship with our leaders this is why when a person passes away

[19:45]the last thing that the person will hear the soul hears is

[19:50]the talentine and they tell this person when the Angels come to

[19:53]you and they ask you who is your lord say Allah as

[19:58]my the Kappa is and they mentioned the names of the imams

[20:07]Hussain all of the imams we need to a part of our

[20:13]part of our faith is that we need to know the imams

[20:17]and we need to know why we follow them and this is

[20:22]why it's very important for us to study a little bit about

[20:24]the lives of our imams some people you ask them about a

[20:27]politician they'll tell you their whole life story you ask them about

[20:32]a NFL player a basketball player Messi or Ronaldo they'll tell them

[20:37]exactly how many scores they've scored they'll say every single detail about

[20:40]their life right but then you come and you tell them tell

[20:43]me about Muhammad Baka tell me about Muhammad Hadi tell me about

[20:48]Mama Jawad we don't know much Hussein we know the others we

[20:53]have to know the lives of the imams and this my dear

[20:55]brothers and sisters the month of Raja we're talking about the merits

[21:01]of rajab the month of rajab is filled with holy days filled

[21:04]with days that not only connect us with God but also helps

[21:09]us connect us with those who connect us with God who are

[21:13]those who connect us with God they are the imams the imams

[21:17]of the Advent they are the teachers they are the Divine teachers

[21:20]the Allah has sent for us to guide us and show us

[21:26]the way so the first of Raja begins with the birth of

[21:34]Imam Muhammad the fifth Imam and Imam is unique in that he

[21:43]is Hassani and husseini from his father's side he is the son

[21:49]of Imam alien the son of Imam Hussain and from his mother's

[21:54]side he is the son of father so from both sides from

[22:02]his father's side he goes to Imam Hussain and from his mother's

[22:05]side he goes towards Imam al-hasana and the imams after Imam they

[22:11]are all descendants of both Imam al-hassan and Imam another very important

[22:21]feature of the life of Imam Muhammad is that he foretold the

[22:32]birth of Imam Muhammad Hadith that is known and accepted and Sunni

[22:39]and traditions from the Sherry Hadith we have several traditions and also

[22:46]a Sunni scholar IBN gutaiba he mentions this Hadith where rasulullah he

[22:53]says companion of Imam al-hassan Imam Hussain Imam Imam al-bakar he was

[23:07]a companion of Imam bakra his narrated narrations from he was young

[23:12]during the life of rasulullah rasulullah tells him oh jabir you're going

[23:16]to live until you see my grandson who is the who is

[23:24]the grandson of Hussein and you will and his name is my

[23:26]name his name is Muhammad his name is just like my name

[23:33]he's going to be the one who spreads knowledge and this is

[23:40]exactly what happened and I'm in bakar he became the one who

[23:45]was spreading the knowledge of the anime because during after rasulullah they

[23:50]didn't have the opportunity to spread knowledge Imam Hussein was killed and

[23:54]I'm saying he was under house arrest and he did not have

[24:00]the ability and the freedom to speak during the time of Imam

[24:02]al-baghav he had the freedom to go out and teach people he

[24:07]would sit in the Masjid and he would teach people so I'm

[24:10]sorry this great companion he became older and older and he used

[24:17]to always say people they thought he was gone mad what does

[24:22]he saying he tells them rasulullah taught me rasulullah told me I'm

[24:28]going to see the grandson of Hussein and he is his name

[24:31]is the name of rasulullah and he has the title of al-bako

[24:36]so one day he goes to the house of Imam Zain and

[24:39]abedin so he lived and he was there during the day of

[24:47]Ashura so he says he saw he saw a young child and

[24:52]he tells him come he sees the child come he tells him

[24:56]walk he walks in front of him he tells him what's your

[24:57]name he says my name is Muhammad he tells who's your father

[25:03]he said my father is Ali the son of Hussein so I'm

[25:07]sorry right away he realized that this is Allah told me about

[25:12]so he tells him your grandfather rasulullah sent salaam to you imagine

[25:18]you are able to send salaam to your great great grandson he

[25:24]tells him your grandfather rasulullah sent salaam to you so Imam he

[25:31]says and peace be upon my grandfather and peace be upon you

[25:34]o jabil and and jabber he narrates several narrations several ahadith from

[25:44]Imam Salaam so this is the beauty of the life of Imam

[25:52]he was the one who was spreading the knowledge Imam al-batter he

[25:58]used to sit in the Masjid of rasulullah and he used to

[26:04]teach he used to teach the Omega government they became weaker as

[26:08]time went on and this gave more freedom foreign and educate people

[26:23]and this is why there was an Enlightenment period there was a

[26:27]period of education and that was the Muslim Golden Era today if

[26:32]you go and you Google the Muslim Golden Era it was spearheaded

[26:36]because they had many students and when you think of Imam al-batter

[26:43]or Imam or the imams of the Albert what kind of knowledge

[26:46]were they teaching people some people they say oh the imams obviously

[26:49]they're going to teach Quran they're going to teach Hadith they're going

[26:55]to teach akam no go and read about the lives of the

[26:57]imams of the United States he was the teacher he and Imam

[27:06]Jafar salad they were the teachers of a man by the name

[27:08]of jabber IBN hayyan you know who is the father of modern

[27:16]day chemistry the father of modern day chemistry was the student of

[27:21]Imam and bakar and Imam Imam al-batter was the founder of the

[27:26]university the enlightenment period where people they used to come and study

[27:30]all types of knowledge math medicine Anatomy chemistry all of these topics

[27:38]they were studied and they were taught by Imam let me just

[27:45]give you an example of the level of knowledge that this is

[27:50]going to spread knowledge he had a student by the name of

[28:00]Jabber al-jokvi genre he has narrated right now we have he has

[28:06]narrated over 70 000 70 000 narrations from Imam he was a

[28:13]he was a student of Imam and bakra he's narrated over 40

[28:17]000 Hadith these are all students of the imams of the Olympics

[28:26]and we have over 470 narrators of Hadith that are the students

[28:32]of Imam he used to teach everything he sees one of them

[28:38]Serene of the Quran there's a man today you go and you

[28:43]open the books of tafsir the books of tafsir you always see

[28:45]his name used to live during the time he tells him the

[28:59]people of Basra and then he says he says this is what

[29:06]they say they say I'm the of the people of basala and

[29:08]then Imam and bakra he tells him he says news came to

[29:15]me that you are doing tafsir of the Quran so he said

[29:18]he's doing the exegesis of the Quran then Imam foreign [Music] and

[29:45]if you took it from other normal people then you're also suffering

[29:50]and you're going to cause other people to suffer what is the

[29:52]Imam trying to say the Imam is trying to say that not

[29:54]everyone can do it of the Quran the Quran as those who

[30:00]have the knowledge of the Quran they are those who are have

[30:06]the ability to perform the Quran and then he says the one

[30:11]who the Quran was revealed unto them they are the ones who

[30:17]can explain the Quran another impact huge impact the Imam al-batter had

[30:23]on the Muslim ummah was that until the time of Hashem the

[30:30]omawi calov the Muslims they did not have their own money the

[30:34]gold coins and the silver coins they were brought from the Roman

[30:41]Empire they were brought from the Roman Empire so the Muslims they

[30:44]did not have the ability to make their own coins they did

[30:47]not have the ability to mend their own coins so the Roman

[30:52]ruler he decided to write something bad about rasulullah in the poem

[30:58]and this is going to be circulated by the Muslims and the

[31:03]Muslims they don't know how to they don't know how to make

[31:04]their own coin what are they going to do they have to

[31:08]circulate money that has something written bad about rasulullah but at the

[31:16]end of the day this is something he's he's the leader of

[31:20]the Muslims at that time he doesn't know what to do he

[31:24]calls Imam Imam teaches the Muslims how to make their own coins

[31:30]how to make their own money and they began the Muslims they

[31:36]began to make their own coins during the time of Imam another

[31:41]very interesting story to show the level of knowledge of Imam Muhammad

[31:48]the narration says that the Muslims they used to sit in the

[31:54]Masjid and the Masjid of rasool Allah used to sit and teach

[32:01]and he had hundreds of people sitting and listening the governor of

[32:09]Medina he was giving a tour to the Khalifa at that time

[32:11]the um during his time he paid money so that they expand

[32:19]the Masjid of the Prophet so that there's Renovations in the Masjid

[32:22]of the prophet so he's come and we need he's come to

[32:26]visit Medina and the governor who is he is giving him a

[32:33]tour of the Masjid look we did this we did this we

[32:36]did this they enter into the Masjid and they see Imam and

[32:38]bakar sitting on a chair he's teaching and there is hundreds of

[32:41]students in front of him so they said and they see Imam

[32:48]al-baqar is teaching something that they're not used to hearing before it's

[32:52]something that you're not usually hearing it's not Quran it's not Hadith

[32:57]it's not all these things and imagine he stays quiet so he

[32:59]tells him he tells him what are you teaching them what are

[33:05]you teaching them because he hears them talking about the Stars about

[33:07]the Earth about a lot of these things so he tells him

[33:12]he tells him is talking about geography astronomy and the stars and

[33:29]he's talking about the sky and the creation this is imagine walking

[33:35]into an astronomy class imagine walking into a geology Class A geography

[33:40]class and this is exactly what they were saying so the Khalifa

[33:46]was shocked and to add to make the story nicer he sees

[33:49]there's a bunch of older men they're sitting in front of Imam

[33:54]and there's a child there's a child in front of Imam al-batter

[33:57]he sees that child he sees that that child is debating with

[34:03]the teacher it's back and forth between the child and the teacher

[34:05]he comes and he tells him who are you he sees that

[34:09]this is Imam sitting with his father [Music] he says he tells

[34:25]him does he understand this topic imagine a young child sitting in

[34:29]a university doesn't does he understand what's being said he said he

[34:35]understands more than everyone else sometimes the conversation is just between the

[34:39]father and the son so he calls you not asada it doesn't

[34:45]mess up what's your name he says my name is and then

[34:47]he asked him a few questions he tells him who is the

[34:53]one the originator of the subject of logic he was given the

[35:05]title by his students as the one who originated the subject of

[35:08]logic and then he tells him who is the owner or who

[35:18]is the mass the goat so Imam he tells him he says

[35:26]this is not a name of a person this is the name

[35:29]of a constellation you know the constellation they have the Taurus they

[35:33]have they have the constellations he tells them this is one of

[35:36]the constellations and and then he tells them do you know who

[35:47]is the toothbrush he tells him who is the title of of

[35:58]the prophet he tells him he is this is the title of

[36:02]Abdullah and Masood the companion of my grandfather rasulullah he tells that

[36:06]to the Khalifa So the Khalifa was shocked and he tells him

[36:10]he tells him your son is going to be Allah your son

[36:12]is going to be the most knowledgeable of his time and this

[36:20]was the reality Imam al-baqar and Son Imam [Music] my dear brothers

[36:27]and sisters let me end with this Hadith but he also disciplined

[36:35]his students on how to be good people as Muslims my dear

[36:38]brothers and sisters we have to be good people be a good

[36:42]person be a kind person to your neighbors to your family to

[36:46]your friends this is what it means to be a Muslim today

[36:48]there are some people they get over carried with the names and

[36:52]titles don't get too excited I'm just I'm from this sect I'm

[37:05]from this don't come and say I'm from this circle from the

[37:15]Sun our real Shia our real followers are those who have taqwa

[37:21]and God and Obey Allah this is what it means to be

[37:23]a real follower of the other maids and then he tells this

[37:27]is is it enough to make you a Sherry just to say

[37:41]I love the other mate and then the Imam says are those

[37:49]who have taqwa our Shia are those who are God conscious and

[37:58]you would recognize a real follower of the other mate through their

[38:04]humility with other people they don't look down on other people to

[38:08]God their humility before Allah and the abundance of the remembrance of

[38:17]Allah fasting was and making a covenant with your neighbors that if

[38:31]they're in need I will be there for them not going in

[38:35]going and giving someone when they're hungry making your Covenant with yourself

[38:39]that if my neighbor is hungry I'm going to be there to

[38:41]provide for them and those who do not have the orphans was

[38:48]being truthful being truthful not lying if you lie you become a

[38:55]faster and the recitation of the Quran and you don't talk bad

[39:07]about people even if you disagree with someone don't talk bad about

[39:11]them except if it's good if you have something good to say

[39:18]about someone say it if you don't have anything good to say

[39:20]then don't say anything at all and they were those who were

[39:30]trusted by people their Community when they look at this person they

[39:33]say this is the person that I trust this is the person

[39:36]that I will trust with my money this is the person I

[39:38]will trust with everything that I have this is what it means

[39:42]to be a real follower of the blades we ask Allah to

[39:46]make us from the sincere and loyal followers of the Ahmed and

[39:52]we ask Allah to make us from those who are ready to

[39:54]benefit from the holy month of rajab the month of rajab is
