[0:03][Music] mam Muhammad today is the 19th day of the Blessed month

[0:43]of Ramadan and last night was the commemoration of the night that

[0:52]was struck down in the most honorable way and in the most

[1:06]honorable night and doing the most honorable deed at the most special

[1:11]time of the morning and night a man who after he was

[1:18]buried his son alassan stood to the people and reminded them of

[1:24]the merits of who had just passed he said this is a

[1:29]man who when he he would go out into the battlefield jbra

[1:32]was on his right and Mika was on his left and he

[1:39]would not return until he had secured Victory no matter what it

[1:46]took to secure Victory yet his tactics obviously were different than the

[1:52]tactics of his foes and his enemies some people believe that in

[1:55]order to achieve what you want in this in this life uh

[1:59]you must do it by any means necessary and believed a little

[2:08]bit differently when it came to striving for the for the way

[2:11]of God yes by any means necessary but hold to the truth

[2:21]the truth was the standard While others chose nepotism or favoritism or

[2:30]some sort of other favor that they used as a means to

[2:36]achieve what they wanted stuck with the truth and the truth cost

[2:41]him dearly in fact he stated that the truth has left me

[2:47]with no friends you think about how people lose friends these days

[2:51]how do they lose Brothers people argue over money they argue over

[3:00]land and property they argue because of status and position they argue

[3:06]sometimes they lose friends because of meaningless things Petty things fights over

[3:14]conflicts over things that really have no meaning and no substance IM

[3:20]he would say he says create value and honor for yourself how

[3:39]by overlooking and moving beyond the petty arguments that happen between people

[3:44]den den means that which is low this is where the word

[3:50]dun comes from Den the things which are low the things which

[3:52]have no value he says if you want to give honor to

[3:58]yourself stop arguing about the petty things that's how he preserved his

[4:07]honor and integrity were there not enough conflicts for him to get

[4:10]involved in besides the wars the FI the three battles that took

[4:17]place during his his own the last four and a half almost

[4:23]five years of his life which he spent in kufa the first

[4:25]how many years in Mecca 23 years in Mecca another 10 years

[4:32]in Medina during the life of the Prophet after that another 25

[4:37]years during the of you know the first three and then five

[4:44]years himself in in Al kufa there were five battles that he

[4:47]himself fought Jamal andan and this is this was foretold to him

[5:02]by that you will fight three groups of people those that will

[5:09]rebel against you in in one form those that will not accept

[5:12]you as their kff those that were that will rebel against you

[5:16]and fight against you and those that will be part of your

[5:18]group but then will exit the the prophet described them perfectly the

[5:22]three groups that he would fight were there not enough conflict outside

[5:28]of those battles for him to get into personal conf conflicts of

[5:32]course if im Ali was a man of conflict if his life

[5:38]was only about conflict then he would get into every not just

[5:40]the wars he would get into every argument that there was to

[5:46]get into but he said no there there are some there are

[5:48]some battles that you know you have to pick your battles you

[5:53]have to pick your battles some of them are worth pressing forward

[5:56]some of them you have to re-evaluate for him if if it

[6:00]had to do with a personal matter something of the Dunya then

[6:07]he was willing to let go he was willing to step aside

[6:10]he was willing to compromise he saw no value in material items

[6:14]one day he was mending his own sandal he would menend his

[6:19]own sandal and Abdullah Abbas came to him his cousin and his

[6:22]governor for a while and he said to him what they are

[6:27]fighting over is worth less to me than this sandal it's less

[6:29]benefit than this sandal which I can mend with my own hands

[6:33]my sandal actually offers me benefit you know protect my foot from

[6:37]the elements whereas the seat in and of itself means nothing to

[6:45]me the only value that it has is enjoining good in the

[6:48]way of Allah and forbidding evil outside of that independent of that

[6:54]it has no independent value so the battles that he fought over

[6:57]the years the conflicts that he had to overcome and he stuck

[7:05]with the truth he said the truth has left me no friends

[7:10]he said but do not fear the truth you see two paths

[7:17]ahead of you one is truth and one is falsehood the truth

[7:20]is abandoned it's a scary Road it's lonely not a lot of

[7:26]people Traverse on it and those that Traverse sometimes they get weary

[7:30]and they give up because it gets too lonely to be on

[7:34]the path of Truth they want to be where everybody else is

[7:37]they don't want to have to miss out on anything they don't

[7:41]like we don't like the feeling of missing out bomo the fear

[7:45]of missing out which is why we're so swayed when we see

[7:48]people's lives on social media and where they're traveling and the money

[7:51]they're making and all this because we feel like we are missing

[7:57]out we are herd animals we human beings are herd animals unless

[8:01]we decide to step up into a leadership position the prophet peace

[8:07]be upon him said every one of you is a shepherd and

[8:13]every Shepherd is responsible for his flock of sheep you ever seen

[8:20]a flock of sheep you know in the old countries sometimes there's

[8:23]50 100 150 200 of them you know running up the side

[8:29]of a mountain it looks like chaos but you see one Shepherd

[8:31]he's he's able to H them with a cane and with a

[8:34]dog he's responsible for every single one of those sheep if he

[8:40]misses one of them or two of them that could affect his

[8:43]livelihood the livelihood of his family so IM aliam lived a life

[8:51]in a way that was full of reflection and and and and

[8:55]and and and thought and consideration as to what is my legacy

[8:58]and what am I going to leave behind behind what am I

[9:02]actually going to leave behind the Quran says that wealth and children

[9:17]are the zena the adornment of this world just like he said

[9:22]to His companion he said let people multiply let them have children

[9:28]and let them build admirable buildings but let them also know you

[9:33]would do well to know that the former will die your children

[9:35]and the latter will crumble any building that you build no matter

[9:40]how long it's not going to stay for some buildings you see

[9:42]they they last for hundreds of years some of them more than

[9:44]a thousand years but eventually eventually it's going to disappear so the

[9:55]Quran says what you leave behind it's only the adornment of this

[9:58]world what's the Ador of the next World what actually beautifies and

[10:02]contributes to your next World the enduring spiritual Investments that you put

[10:12]in place not the material Investments you can put in a material

[10:15]investment you know the ROI you know how much it's going to

[10:19]give back but the spiritual Investments do we actually know how much

[10:23]it's going to give back or in what way there are times

[10:27]that a person does a good deed in their life and it

[10:31]shows up in their grandchildren's life in their great grandchildren's life do

[10:34]we know where it's going to show up do you know where

[10:38]do we know where guidance is going to come from so each

[10:51]one of us needs to think about our contribution to society IM

[10:56]aliam is honored today because of his contribution to society his contribution

[11:01]to humanity to the cause of justice and wisdom and obedience and

[11:10]subservience is there a better example is there a better role model

[11:18]the prophet peace be upon Him defines to us who the best

[11:20]of people are he says the best of people are the ones

[11:27]that benefit other people and says the measure of every man is

[11:42]based on thean that he does is the benevolence the acts of

[11:45]kindness and charity that you do for others and we have commanded

[11:54]man to do good goodness benevolence primarily number one towards his parents

[12:03]so what is a person's contribution to society other than just their

[12:08]contribution to their self you know as as children they say be

[12:14]careful be careful of your behaviors and your interactions around children why

[12:19]because children they automatically assume everything that happens around them is about

[12:26]them so when they see parents fighting and arguing they think automatically

[12:30]they think I'm the cause and children grow up thinking that they're

[12:33]the cause of their parents arguing or the violence that's in the

[12:36]house and things like that children are very very sensitive they they

[12:39]think everything is about them but as you grow older and the

[12:44]Quran describes this when he reaches that age the the age of

[12:59]40 and of course this is uh metaphorical you know the age

[13:06]of 40 is described as the age that the prophets received most

[13:09]of the prophets received their Revelation at the age of 40 basically

[13:12]the Pinnacle the the the supposedly the climax of wisdom when you

[13:16]can look back at half of your life and you can assess

[13:19]am I the right direction the wrong direction what's happening sometimes a

[13:24]midlife crisis you know things like that so once he reaches that

[13:27]age finally he starts to think it's it's not about me it's

[13:32]about my parents life is not all about me it's about my

[13:35]parents what have I done for others what can I now give

[13:39]to others growing out of things that are just for me and

[13:41]the things that I desire and how I can make money for

[13:45]myself and and benefit myself you know one of the most powerful

[13:48]stories is that of Alfred Nobel if you know his story and

[13:56]how he became to be and the Nobel Prize and you know

[13:58]the Peace Prize and econom comics and all these different prizes under

[14:03]the endowment that he established how it came to be was quite

[14:05]fascinating so uh you know I've shared this story a few times

[14:10]with uh with some communities but it was back in 2007 where

[14:15]myself my father and my brother uh we decided to travel to

[14:21]a few of the Scandinavian countries we went to Sweden and Norway

[14:24]and Denmark and a few of countries and when we were in

[14:26]Stockholm Sweden we were walking around we hadn't really planned what we

[14:33]were going to see but we walked into a museum a Nobel

[14:36]Museum dedicated to a life of Alfred Nobel now I had heard

[14:38]before we had heard that you know he was um the founder

[14:44]of the endowment that you know uh offered the Peace Prize and

[14:49]the uh prize in economics and you know prestigious prizes but how

[14:52]did it actually come to be do you know about the life

[14:56]of Alfred Nobel do you know what he was before he started

[14:57]offering uh p peace well he actually did not start offering the

[15:01]Peace Prize because that came in the 1960s long after he passed

[15:07]away but the endowments that began to offer benefits to people do

[15:11]you know how it came apart Alfred Nobel he came from a

[15:19]family of weapons manufacturers explosives TNT blowing things up people getting killed

[15:28]people getting maimed people losing limbs this is where he made the

[15:31]vast majority of his wealth and he was so notorious in this

[15:35]that certain people began to refer to him as The Merchant of

[15:40]death because that's how he made his money and do you know

[15:43]what happened to The Merchant of death that he changed course and

[15:46]changed Direction he had a brother Ludwig who passed away some French

[15:55]journalists thought that it was Alfred who passed away so he wrote

[15:58]an OB uary in the French newspaper for Alfred Nobel and he

[16:05]named it the title said The Merchant of death is dead so

[16:10]imagine you're Alfred Nobel and one day you wake up you're having

[16:14]your coffee and you read your own obituary he thought it was

[16:17]a joke it was a serious thing but someone had made a

[16:20]mistake he didn't just throw it away he said no no my

[16:23]brother's dead I'm not the one that's dead I'm still alive and

[16:28]well he actually sat and read the obituary and he realized that

[16:31]people were calling him The Merchant of death he didn't even know

[16:33]that people are calling him The Merchant of death what a title

[16:37]and that this is what he's going to be known for and

[16:42]his legacy and he decided at that moment that he's going to

[16:46]change what people will remember him by so he took all of

[16:48]the money he can't go and undo you know you can't undiscover

[16:53]explosives and things like that once you've discovered it but there's a

[16:59]way to minimize the damage maybe reverse some of the damage so

[17:03]he said I'm going to take all of what I've made this

[17:05]Fortune which in those days was the equivalent of millions of dollars

[17:10]and establish an endowment and award people for PRI and give them

[17:17]prizes for breakthroughs in science and medicine and technology and saving lives

[17:23]rather than destroying lives this is how Alfred Nobel came to be

[17:26]in the Nobel Peace Prize not someone who fell from heaven and

[17:29]was a very peaceful person and always had the vision of I'm

[17:33]going to help society and I'm going to do good things no

[17:35]no no it was reading his which one of us will ever

[17:39]get the chance to read our own obituary I mean which one

[17:43]of us will be in this situation where we will become so

[17:45]famous and so notorious for something so dislikable and then we don't

[17:52]even know what people are thinking about us and we have to

[17:55]read our own obituary and it hits Us in the face this

[17:58]is like a one in 10 trillion chance that would that would

[18:00]happen but you actually have the opportunity to read your own obituary

[18:05]IM says he says Be Your Own executor of your own will

[18:15]everyone writes a will and by the way it is highly recommended

[18:18]according to Scholars waj obligatory because the language in the Hadith is

[18:23]very strong on writing a will narrations say that don't go to

[18:28]bed without at least writing will and putting it under your pillow

[18:32]writing a will in Islam is mandatory you must have a will

[18:37]and there are ways to to write one and there are guidelines

[18:39]and that guidance is available for for those that want to do

[18:42]it IM Ali says you be the executive of your will the

[18:46]whole idea we write a will we expect somebody else to come

[18:51]on our behalf and execute on our behalf the prophet peace be

[18:55]upon him one day a companion had had asked the prophet he

[18:58]had said that if I pass away I want you to distribute

[19:02]the dates that I have on my behalf he was a date

[19:07]farmer a date seller and he always had an abundance of it

[19:10]Allah I want you to distribute everything so he does he passes

[19:18]away the prophet gathers the companions they're Distributing and finally they're done

[19:26]at the end of the day the prophet finds half of a

[19:30]date which was kicked into the dirt and he picked it up

[19:37]he showed his companions he said my companions had this man distributed

[19:41]and given just this during his lifetime it would have equaled the

[19:45]reward of everything that we just distributed on his behalf be the

[19:52]executor of your own will he says how do you want people

[20:00]to see you after you're dead how do you want people to

[20:02]distribute your things after you're dead do that in your lifetime before

[20:08]you're dead you be the executor of your will you know sometimes

[20:17]you hear in the news that they open up a will and

[20:21]they're surprised this person has passed away and they open up the

[20:24]will and I remember actually many years ago I think it was

[20:27]maybe 2007 2008 something like that there was a woman in the

[20:31]states some of you probably know her name Leona Helmsley her and

[20:36]her husband had the hotels they were hoteliers and he had died

[20:41]a few years before her you know they she's like the female

[20:44]version of the guy who's in the Oval Office right now you

[20:48]know and she was known she became known in the American Media

[20:52]as the queen of mean she was a very mean individual I

[20:58]actually spoke to people in New York who had had been hired

[21:00]by her and she would pay a lot of money but had

[21:04]a very high turnover rate because nobody could work with her so

[21:08]she would pay double triple what everybody else was paying but get

[21:11]only five six months of work out of someone before they lost

[21:15]their mind the queen of mean she used to say things like

[21:17]you know we don't have to pay taxes let the people who

[21:21]make less than us pay taxes things like that and of course

[21:25]she left behind a fortune and when they open up her will

[21:29]I remember this she had maybe four grandchildren two of them were

[21:33]to receive a certain amount two of them were to receive nothing

[21:36]she had her lawyer who was going to receive a certain amount

[21:42]if he would take care of her little puppy and her puppy

[21:47]a white little puppy she had written in the will was to

[21:49]receive $12 million more than anybody else on that list anybody 12

[21:57]Mill more than any single person on that more than her grandchildren

[22:00]okay and I I guess the guy who's uh her lawyer or

[22:07]whoever is you know handling assets on her behalf gets the money

[22:10]contingent on him taking care of the puppy so the the judge

[22:14]said no no no $12 million is too much I'm going to

[22:15]reduce it down to to only $2 million you know just $2

[22:20]million poor dog that he receives so you see you open up

[22:26]a will and you have no idea what who who's going to

[22:28]what are they going to to leave behind what's going to stay

[22:32]for the family what's not going to stay for the family people

[22:35]getting cheated out of what they think belongs to them all because

[22:39]they put their hopes in this Dunya according to the Hadith when

[22:47]a Believer dies when a person dies the Angels ask the question

[22:51]what did he send forth what did he put forth to meet

[22:55]him everything that we do we're sending forth to meet us before

[22:59]we arrive there the angels are asking what did he send forth

[23:02]because it's our job to assess everything and report to God while

[23:08]the family ask what's he leaving behind you care about what he

[23:11]sent forth what's he leaving behind for us so Imam says be

[23:18]that person do something significant with your life you don't know the

[23:21]one thing that you will do with your life which will change

[23:24]the trajectory of your life and the life of your children we

[23:28]have so many examples look at the example on the day of

[23:33]the example of and now you go toala and you visit his

[23:39]Shrine he's buried in such an honored way his own Zara his

[23:45]own tribute IM Hussein paid tribute to him he loved him he

[23:48]was proud of him all because he decided I'm going to change

[23:54]my legacy with one significant decision the prophet peace be upon Him

[24:03]tells us do not underestimate the power of one you guiding one

[24:06]person you helping one person you becoming the friend of one person

[24:11]the prophet mam one day Allah asked him he said yah Musa

[24:16]what have you done for me Musa says what have I not

[24:23]done for you I grew up as a believer in the home

[24:28]of the Pharaoh when it was most difficult I was willing to

[24:30]defend my people with my life I was willing to become a

[24:34]fugitive and a refugee I was willing to stand in front of

[24:37]the uh magicians when I when I had a stutter and I

[24:43]could not even speak I was willing to do that I was

[24:47]willing to take all the people and cross past the Sea and

[24:52]the most difficult test really was simply just carrying these people around

[24:56]with him B is everywhere that he had to go that was

[24:59]really the most difficult test he says I pray for you I

[25:04]fast I do good deeds Allah subhana wa T said yah mus

[25:08]all of what you have just Li listed is for you so

[25:12]he says then then what can I do that's for you the

[25:17]pro uh Allah subhana wa tala tells Musa he says did you

[25:23]ever befriend someone or become a brother to someone for my sake

[25:26]and you help them for my sake did you ever find someone

[25:32]who is unfortunate someone who has no friend no protector and you

[25:35]be his friend you be his protector says you want to do

[25:38]something for me go do that more than your prayers and your

[25:42]fasting go befriend the person who doesn't have a friend and make

[25:45]them feel welcome this is what you can do on my behalf

[25:49]the prophet peace be upon him said to IM aliam when he

[25:52]sent him to Yemen and I mentioned the story yesterday of how

[25:56]he first sent KH and he was not able to bring anyone

[25:59]to guidance so when he came back he sent he said if

[26:14]you were able to provide guidance to one individual just one of

[26:21]these individuals it is more beneficial to you than everything that the

[26:25]sun shines upon you guys see the sun shining today alh the

[26:28]beautiful weather finally everything that you you see how uh you you

[26:35]see how everything appears in the sun it's like in the dark

[26:40]you you you almost cannot see the landscape or and what's out

[26:42]there all of a sudden the Sun comes and it shows you

[26:46]the details of everything the prophet says to him it's more beneficial

[26:49]to you than everything that the sun shines upon to guide one

[26:55]person guide One Soul save one soul from torment from misguidance IM

[27:03]aliam taught us that the first Battlefield is which Battlefield the battlefield

[27:10]of the what what does the word maidan mean Battlefield he says

[27:19]your first Battlefield is yours if you're able to become Victorious over

[27:30]it then you will be able to conquer and be victorious over

[27:34]everything else and if you fail in this regard then you will

[27:44]fail in every other regard your neps if you can defeat your

[27:49]neps if you if you can overcome your naps and overcoming your

[27:52]nefs first starts with actually knowing your nefs knowing yourself the Hadith

[28:02]says he or she who knows himself shall know their lord God

[28:07]says that you don't have to look far and wide you don't

[28:13]have to go to um the national parks to find me you

[28:15]know some people I talk to them they say I I've I

[28:18]I have to go to a national park I have to go

[28:21]somewhere where there's mountains and oceans and whatnot in order to to

[28:24]find God Allah says I am everywhere he says you want the

[28:30]vessel that contains me the sanctuary that contains me is what the

[28:34]heart of my believer he says that the sky cannot contain me

[28:42]the Earth cannot contain me the bodies of water cannot contain me

[28:46]the only thing that can contain me is the heart of my

[28:52]believer this is where we go to find Allah subhana tala Allah

[29:03]says that we will show you the most profound signs one in

[29:07]the Horizon when you look to the Horizon you see profound signs

[29:10]you see profound things but also within yourself meaning that you don't

[29:14]have to look far and wide outside your everybody's always searching outside

[29:18]for God you have to just look within everything is within you

[29:25]and it all starts from within Allah does not change the situation

[29:34]of a people unless they change that which is within themselves and

[29:38]this is why IM Ali Alam used to tell people during these

[29:43]final years during these final moments he said listen people have I

[29:46]ever told you to do something that I didn't do first when

[29:49]did I ask you to do something that I didn't do first

[29:53]did I tell you to go out into the battlefield without me

[29:58]being the first one to go out did I tell you to

[30:04]pray and give charity give arms help the oppressed go out in

[30:08]the middle of the night go in the early morning at all

[30:10]times of day praise did I ever command you to do anything

[30:15]that I wasn't the first one to do I was always the

[30:19]first one to do then why do you disobey me imagine the

[30:20]irony he says to the people of mua he says your leader

[30:24]look at this irony Your Leader disobeys God and you obey him

[30:31]while I obey God and you disobey me where is the logic

[30:33]in this is there logic in this I'm the I'm the slave

[30:42]of God he says I'm I confirmed the message of the Prophet

[30:45]peace be upon him I believed in him before the early stages

[30:48]of Creation The Prophet says I was a prophet while Adam was

[30:58]in his formative stages between water and Clay IM says I also

[31:07]confirmed the of when Adam was in those formative stages early early

[31:17]years so then our Legacy is defined by what first we have

[31:22]to work on oursel we have to develop oursel IM aliam no

[31:24]matter how busy and he would say this to to Malik he

[31:29]would say this to all of his administrators his Governors no matter

[31:32]how busy you think you are your prime time he says dedicate

[31:42]the time between you and Allah to be the best of times

[31:48]Prime Time not your leftover time says I give my prime time

[31:51]to God and then everything else gets my leftovers and even when

[31:57]I give my leftovers I'm still doing it with Excellence I'm still

[32:02]putting my entire effort into it making sure that I get the

[32:07]job done again there's two meanings to this Hadith the measure of

[32:14]a man is by can mean the good that he does can

[32:19]also mean by what he Masters how well he does something can

[32:24]also mean how well you actually perform a thing he says you're

[32:27]measure is how well you actually do something how much effort do

[32:33]you put into it some people they put you know half effort

[32:35]into something a a fourth effort into something a third effort into

[32:40]something especially sometimes you find um you know if you follow Sports

[32:44]and you find athletes sometimes you find a player an athlete who

[32:51]has a natural gift a natural Talent they're born with it and

[32:55]sometimes because they're gifted they might not work work hard as the

[32:59]athlete who's had to actually develop the skill set from zero because

[33:05]when you actually put in the time and develop a skill set

[33:09]whether you're talented or not you are going to develop a skill

[33:13]but if a person works hard truly works hardan puts their best

[33:18]foot forward this person will surpass the one who is naturally gifted

[33:23]and talented but doesn't work hard you notice sometimes maybe you've worked

[33:28]with someone you've hired someone who's very gifted and talented but they

[33:31]don't want to work hard versus the one who works hard even

[33:35]though they're not very gifted this is why they say hard work

[33:38]hard work beats Talent when talent doesn't work hard if talent doesn't

[33:46]work hard hard work is going to beat it hard work beats

[33:48]Talent when Talent does not work hard work say put in the

[34:01]work Allah will be a witness the Believers will be a witness

[34:06]the prophet and the Messenger will be a witness to the good

[34:11]that you do put your best foot forward according to the narration

[34:16]one day a man asked the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi Ali wasam

[34:19]he said if I only had one day to live what should

[34:23]I do with that one day what do you think the prophet

[34:26]said stand in prayer stand in fasting he said go seek knowledge

[34:31]go become an enlightened individual even if you only have a Day

[34:36]become an enlightened individual because once you become an enlightened educated individual

[34:42]everything else will improve everything else will improve your relationships will improve

[34:48]your I will improve your God Consciousness will improve when you become

[34:53]an illuminated individual Allah says that we give you an example of

[35:05]two people one is enlightened God has given him light and he

[35:10]has given him life he was dead and he's given him life

[35:15]meaning that he's given him knowledge versus the one who's in darkness

[35:18]in complete darkness and he's trying to find his way out of

[35:23]the darkness and he can't find a way how are these two

[35:25]people equal certainly they're not equal the enlighten individual is not equal

[35:31]to the unenlightened individual according to one narration to reflect to study

[35:45]to learn even for an hour is more beneficial than standing the

[35:54]entire night in prayer it has that value you know for those

[35:57]of you who have performed the Hajj and for those who have

[36:00]not inshallah we ask Allah subhanahu wa tala and this is a

[36:06]Dua actually made in the month of Ramadan for those of you

[36:13]who performed the Haj you would know that there is a certain

[36:19]amount of days that the pilgrim must stay in Mina 3 days

[36:23]that the pilgrim must stay in Mina according to our Scholars however

[36:27]they give the option that you can instead of staying in Mina

[36:32]you can stay in meah in but you must be engaged in

[36:41]worship here's the caveat you must be engaged in worship for either

[36:45]the whole night meaning from to or from Midnight to F half

[36:49]of the night you must be engaged in constant VI if you

[36:55]stay in Mecca or else you go to Mina and simply stay

[36:59]there this is because and what and and what and furthermore they

[37:04]say that what constitutes and worship there's prayers there's there's Dua there's

[37:12]but also one more thing knowledge if you learn learning suffices for

[37:19]in such a precious time in the middle of your Haj Allah

[37:23]subhana wa tala says yes if you want to pause to learn

[37:28]I will count your learning as and that's why one of the

[37:32]years I believe maybe the year that we were together I think

[37:35]one of the nights maybe instead of spending the whole night in

[37:39]I we had a little bit of a Quran class for about

[37:40]two hours you in the middle of that because it's you're gaining

[37:43]knowledge is tantamount to what good is worship without knowledge the world

[37:51]is filled with people who are bobbing their heads back and forth

[37:54]like this but yet where's the enlightenment where where's the advancement where's

[38:00]the prosperity IM when he saw so many pilgrims one time he

[38:08]said there are great numbers but a lot of this is not

[38:12]Haj going on a lot of it is just noise that's happening

[38:17]noise and going in a circle and this was Im so what

[38:20]do our lives count for and what we give our lives this

[38:26]is what wanted this is what he gave his life for this

[38:28]is what he gave his life to the last moments for for

[38:33]us to be enlightened individuals not live in darkness and it was

[38:37]during these nights that he would a night like this that the

[38:42]poison began to set in he was struck down on the night

[38:49]of the 19th by ABD M A Wretched Man Who had been

[38:51]promised marriage to a woman and she said my dowy if you

[38:56]want to marry me is the head of you strike him down

[39:01]so he purchased a sword with a th000 Dirhams and he poisoned

[39:05]it for a thousand Dirhams imagine what type of poison that it

[39:10]costs imagine your you buy a gun and you have buy a

[39:15]bullet that costs as much as the gun because you want to

[39:17]make sure that it does the job and this is what he

[39:21]did for a woman whose family members her father her brother had

[39:25]died as a fighting against IM Ali Al how low and wretched

[39:31]was this individual of the and who were the the had memorized

[39:34]the Quran the all had marks on their foreheads from prostration and

[39:39]they turned against and they said your rule is no longer a

[39:42]legitimate one Ali imagine you're now teaching alali religion imagine how deluded

[39:49]you must be how far from the truth you must be how

[39:54]self-righteous you must be that you're now teaching Al religion it just

[39:59]goes to show the wonders of this world and what is there

[40:03]and inshallah tomorrow night we will commemorate further the life of and

[40:07]mention some of his final words and his final uh directives to

[40:13]his family and the community we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

[40:17]accept oural during this holy month we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[40:20]to bless uh all of those worldwide who are in need who

[40:25]are suffering we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to allow us to
