[0:06][Music] foreign [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ah [Music] [Applause] [Music]

[1:23][Applause] [Music] muhammad i'd like to ask a very critical question a

[2:03]question which has the potential to shape our lives and influence every

[2:10]single decision that you and i make but before i ask the

[2:19]question and allow you to contemplate and to think about the answer

[2:23]you would like to give i want to share a story with

[2:28]you in the form of a hadith there was a person named

[2:33]younos he was a companion of our 8th imam now for reasons

[2:47]beyond the scope of this medjlis i don't want to talk about

[2:54]the back story but essentially this individual despite his proximity to the

[3:00]eighth imam despite the status and rank that he held with the

[3:07]imam of his time was the target of incessant attacks by his

[3:16]own community in other words imagine a scholar and it's not too

[3:20]difficult to imagine this but a scholar who is senior in his

[3:26]rank but who is the target of criticism by the shia community

[3:33]of the day many of them viewed him as being too harsh

[3:39]as being not fit for the role and so they criticized him

[3:47]in a very very harsh and merciless manner one day he is

[3:54]in the presence of imam al-assam when somebody knocks the door imam

[4:01]says to you to go and sit behind the curtain the imam

[4:07]obviously knows what is about to happen and so he sets the

[4:14]stage he says to eunice go sit behind that curtain and don't

[4:18]utter a word not a sound i want you to stand there

[4:21]when they open the door a group of shia come in and

[4:27]they come obviously they wanted to meet the imam and only later

[4:32]does it turn out that the reason the purpose of their visit

[4:35]was to wage yet another attack on who you so they came

[4:44]they sat there remember eunice is sitting behind the curtain and they

[4:49]launch their ambush against yunus he's this he's that he's not for

[4:56]the role the imam doesn't say a word they finish what they

[5:01]had to say they get up and leave as soon as they

[5:07]leave eunice emerges from behind the curtain as he was shedding tears

[5:14]crying imagine having people go to your imam and slander you and

[5:21]attack you he was crying at that point when he emerged the

[5:26]imam gave him words of solace he said to him what do

[5:33]you care what they say about you he said yep did you

[5:40]hear what they said all these attacks all this criticism the imam

[5:46]said to him what do you care about any of that imam

[5:53]as long as your imam is pleased with you [Music] does it

[5:58]even matter what other people think does it matter what they say

[6:03]now this is a badge of honor unlike any other the imam

[6:10]of your time telling you that i'm happy with you i'm pleased

[6:16]with you and so you can imagine how that would turn yunus

[6:19]of the abdul into the most energetic person on the face of

[6:24]the planet being told by his imam that he's pleased with him

[6:31]the question i want to ask is this is your imam pleased

[6:39]with you is imam al-hussein pleased with you is the imam of

[6:43]our time pleased with you now before you rush to conclusions and

[6:48]answer that question whether it be in the positive or the negative

[6:53]before you say yes i think my imam is pleased with me

[6:58]because one two three four five six seven eight nine ten or

[7:01]some of you might say no i don't think my imam is

[7:05]pleased with me because of all this laundry list of reasons or

[7:10]you might be one of those people who errs on the side

[7:12]of caution and says well i'm not entirely sure sometimes he's pleased

[7:18]with with me sometimes i know for a fact that he's not

[7:21]before you answer this question we need to be asking another question

[7:26]which is foundational and paves the way for us to understanding and

[7:32]responding to this question in a better manner what's that question what

[7:37]are the parameters by which you can figure out whether your imam

[7:41]is pleased with you or not what exactly is the criteria how

[7:48]do you determine obviously gut feeling goes a long way sometimes we

[7:55]just know deep down especially when the signs don't point to the

[8:01]right direction and so you have this gut feeling that i know

[8:05]there is something wrong something's wrong with me i don't believe the

[8:11]imam would be happy with my lifestyle with my choices right so

[8:15]gut feeling does help but it doesn't give a definitive answer does

[8:19]it in order to give a definitive answer you need to know

[8:26]the criteria you need to know the parameters you need to have

[8:28]the measuring stick the ruler you need to have a means by

[8:33]which you gauge the imam's pleasure or displeasure with you am i

[8:40]right so ultimately as we said last night people's opinions of you

[8:47][Music] shouldn't matter that's not to say that you could live your

[8:55]life not caring about what other people think sometimes you need to

[9:01]abide by certain rules that society sets for you especially if certain

[9:08]acts or behaviors might cause you to look bad right if you

[9:14]do certain things that would reflect negatively on you as an individual

[9:18]or as a community or as a religion then you need to

[9:23]be mindful of that but people's opinions of you as to whether

[9:27]or not you're a good person or a bad person that doesn't

[9:31]really change the reality of who you are am i right in

[9:36]fact you might think you're a good person but people might view

[9:43]you as being not so ideal not so good or it could

[9:49]be the other way around people might perceive you as being a

[9:51]good moral virtuous individual right this happens a lot of times in

[9:56]religious communities masha allah this brother masha allah look at this sister

[10:02]but in reality you know deep down that your life is all

[10:06]over the place so people's opinions and perceptions of you don't change

[10:12]the reality as a matter of fact in that same hadith in

[10:15]that same story imam he says to him he gives him a

[10:24]test he says imagine if in my hand in my palm i

[10:29]was holding a gemstone a precious stone and people said to me

[10:40]that this is a worthless pebble would it change the nature of

[10:45]the gemstone it wouldn't conversely if i was holding a worthless pebble

[10:50]a rock and people said to me what a beautiful diamond you

[10:55]have in your hand does that change the fact that this is

[10:59]a worthless pebble not a diamond yunus responded by saying no it

[11:05]doesn't the imam is giving you a very important means by which

[11:10]you can evaluate yourself he's saying that people's views and perceptions don't

[11:16]change who you actually are so the question once again is what

[11:23]are the parameters by which we can determine whether my imam is

[11:30]pleased with me because at the end of the day as we

[11:34]said last night the purpose the reason that we gather around in

[11:40]these commemorations is to align ourselves with imam al-hussein it is to

[11:46]get closer to the ark of salvation to the point where the

[11:50]imam could then save us and so if that's the objective for

[11:56]our gatherings and our programs we need to know what the criteria

[12:03]is with which we can determine the imam's pleasure or displeasure with

[12:08]us the first criteria that i'd like to share with you tonight

[12:10]is this to know whether allah subhanahu ta'ala is pleased with you

[12:18]and therefore the imam of the time is pleased with you you

[12:23]need to see whether you are pleased with allah and his will

[12:31]and determination for you and your life sounds like a cliche but

[12:36]bear with me this is more difficult than it sounds i'll reiterate

[12:40]to know whether your imam is pleased with you ask yourself this

[12:46]are you pleased with your imam are you pleased with god's will

[12:51]and destiny and what he has decided to happen in your life

[12:58]are you you'd be surprised how displeased many of us are even

[13:08]with the most basic and fundamental things in our lives if you

[13:11]ask a group of people especially nowadays young men and women in

[13:16]school for instance if you present them with this question are you

[13:22]happy with your gender that's assigned to you are you if you

[13:26]say to the boys are you happy that you're a boy if

[13:31]you say to the girls are you happy that you're a girl

[13:34]and not a boy you'd be shocked how many people whether this

[13:42]is based and grounded in some deep and ingrained idea some kind

[13:53]of gender dysphoria or a mental illness or it could just be

[13:57]a mental exercise that i wish i was not the gender that's

[14:06]been assigned to me you'd be shocked how many people are not

[14:09]happy with their gender you'd be shocked how many people would say

[14:15]to you why did god even create me in other words the

[14:17]very most basic fact of our lives the fact that we exist

[14:25]is something many people are displeased with let alone the details let

[14:32]alone the minute differences between individuals it is truly shocking brothers and

[14:38]sisters how many of us contemplate this idea over and over again

[14:44]throughout the course of our lives why this why that which is

[14:50]in its distilled and simple form an objection to the will of

[14:57]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala why did god create me i might ask

[15:00]this question because i'm trying to figure out the purpose of my

[15:02]life which is fine but sometimes we find ourselves asking this question

[15:10]in objection in denial of what has been handed to me why

[15:15]did god create me to begin with why am i a man

[15:19]why am i a woman why am i this national nationality why

[15:22]am i this ethnicity why am i rich why am i poor

[15:27]not the rich mind you because when good things happen in our

[15:30]lives there is this sense of me deserving this sense of entitlement

[15:40]when a good thing happens i deserve this which is why it's

[15:44]happening it's not that god is testing me or blessing me or

[15:51]any other kind of criteria it's the fact that i deserve what

[15:56]i have today i've worked hard to build my life the way

[16:01]it is today that's when things go our way that's when we

[16:04]experience what we would refer to or define as success whether it's

[16:09]actual success or not is another discussion for another day but when

[16:12]things happen that are favorable to us there is a sense of

[16:18]entitlement i deserve this but the second things go the other way

[16:23]when things are unfavorable to us when they're not according to our

[16:30]taste suddenly we object to allah subhanahu ta'ala why this why that

[16:34]what did i do to deserve this how many times have you

[16:38]heard people say that so at the most fundamental level we have

[16:46]a major problem brothers and sisters we're not happy we're not pleased

[16:51]with what allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has determined for us or has

[16:54]given us we call it means determination it means what allah has

[17:05]destined for me and qatar means what allah has measured for me

[17:10]you see the problem is even more fundamental it goes back to

[17:17]the very core of our beliefs because if i believed that allah

[17:23]subhanahu wa ta'ala was the creator of the universe in other words

[17:28]i submit and resign to the fact that he is the creator

[17:32]that's a step in the right direction and that's something most people

[17:37]resign to most people agree with this that god or some supernatural

[17:44]deity however you might define him created the world because to not

[17:50]subscribe to creationism is the most absurd philosophical position anyone can take

[17:55]which is why atheists are a tiny tiny minority in the world

[18:00]you'd really have to be a to be an atheist because you're

[18:05]trying to prove a negative you actually believe there is no way

[18:09]this universe was created by a supernatural creator you believe that there

[18:17]is nothing that could ever change your mind about the fact that

[18:20]god created the universe it is the most absurd thing i have

[18:22]a series on atheism on youtube which you can look it up

[18:26]absolutely mindless insanity but most people agree that the world was created

[18:35]and that it was created by an all-knowing all-powerful omniscient creator an

[18:41]omnipotent omnipotent creator which is a step in the right direction now

[18:46]as believers who submit to the fact that the creator of the

[18:53]universe if he has the power to create all of this to

[18:59]put together this marvelous wonder to design a universe that is so

[19:05]incredible so breathtaking so stunning so beautiful so complex so intricate you

[19:14]see with each of these adjectives you can easily submit to the

[19:22]names of allah subhana wa he would have to be all-knowing to

[19:25]create all of this he would have to be all-powerful to bring

[19:30]about all of this he would have to be wise to ensure

[19:35]that this universe functions in this seamless and incredibly beautiful and harmonious

[19:41]manner all of these names and attributes of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[19:45]come naturally they're not additions to the fact that he is a

[19:51]creator if he is a creator and he is without a speck

[19:52]of doubt then all of these attributes become obvious to anyone who

[19:59]who thinks even for a moment allah subhanahu ta'ala speaks about those

[20:03]who wonder at the creation of the heavens and the earth and

[20:09]they say rabb those who ponder and think and contemplate on the

[20:19]creation of the heavens and the earth the natural consequence the natural

[20:24]response of this contemplation is what this could not have been created

[20:35]in vain this isn't something that just pops into existence without a

[20:40]purpose surely there is a purpose surely all of this has a

[20:44]meaning sublime art thou and i'll talk about the sublime nature of

[20:56]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and why tasbih is the inevitable reaction of

[21:05]anyone who contemplates on the creation of the heavens and the earth

[21:09]right but what happens is when you look at all of this

[21:16]you marvel at this incredibly beautiful stunning breathtaking creation of allah subhanahu

[21:23]wa ta'ala you are filled with all and you are filled with

[21:28]fear of allah fear meaning this sense that he is so great

[21:36]and i'm so minuscule i'm so infinitesimal i'm so tiny i am

[21:43]nothing i am literally less than a speck in the vastness of

[21:46]the cosmos and so this fills you with fear about your role

[21:53]your responsibility towards this creator as great as he is the james

[22:00]webb telescope which was launched a few months back and started sending

[22:04]images some of you might have heard about this it's again the

[22:11]first image that was sent by the james webb telescope i don't

[22:15]know if you got to see it but the very first image

[22:18]represents a person holding a needle imagine if you held a needle

[22:26]at arm's length at the top at the very pin of that

[22:29]needle imagine there's like a speck or a dot or something and

[22:34]you point it in any random direction around you that image which

[22:43]contains billions of galaxies represents that head of the pin on your

[22:50]needle in other words everything around you is not included in that

[22:56]picture these billions of galaxies are that tiny speck this incredible universe

[23:03]was put together by this creator surely he is wise enough to

[23:11]make determinations in my life that are in my favor even if

[23:19]i fail to grasp the philosophy behind it surely if he chooses

[23:25]to put this here and to put that there he knows what

[23:31]he's doing again this is just looking at the universe at the

[23:36]cosmos look at your own body look at how things run so

[23:42]incredibly harmoniously and beautifully the average human body contains 30 to 40

[23:46]trillion cells all of these emerge from a single cell allah says

[23:59]he says have you seen how life emerges have you seen how

[24:06]the single celled organism begins to grow and develop until it becomes

[24:15]40 trillion cells working together in absolute harmony and synchronicity who did

[24:21]this allah says did you create this did the mother and the

[24:31]father bring about all this complexity all this beauty all this harmony

[24:34]who did all of that who designed all of this who engineered

[24:39]this the human brain the human heart every single honestly try this

[24:45]exercise choose any random organ in your body and google it and

[24:49]just write this the miracle of fill the blank how this tiny

[24:57]muscle in your chest pumps 80 000 liters of blood per day

[25:03]how does that happen where does it derive its energy from from

[25:09]food what kind of factory what kind of process converts vegetables and

[25:18]plants and animals and these kinds of things into the energy that

[25:23]pumps 80 000 liters of blood across your body every single day

[25:28]if you leave if you have the heart functioning on its own

[25:33]pumping on its own on a table right it'll squirt the blood

[25:37]30 feet up that's 10 meters how does it how can a

[25:41]tiny muscle do that for 50 60 70 80 90 years how

[25:48]does it do all of that how is it that when our

[25:53]bodies disintegrate and cells die every single day 30 billion new cells

[25:58]are made by the human body 30 billion a day and that's

[26:04]not including all the times that the body needs to repair things

[26:08]it needs to heal itself it needs look up the miracle of

[26:14]the eyebrows the miracle of the eyelashes the miracle of every single

[26:18]part in your body and what it does and how it functions

[26:22]and how it works again with complete harmony and synchronicity with the

[26:25]rest of the human body producing you after all of this we

[26:34]still have a doubt as to why this happened to me surely

[26:40]the one who created all of it knows better than i do

[26:45]yeah it might not make sense to me at first just like

[26:50]when a child is forced by his parents to go to school

[26:53]a child using every fiber of his being every cell in his

[27:00]brain will say why the heck do i need to go to

[27:03]school every day i have to get up in the morning go

[27:10]to school study work hard come back why explain this to me

[27:13]and not a single parent can actually explain it to the satisfaction

[27:17]of the child so the child will nag the child will want

[27:22]to quit school will want to just goof off and play video

[27:30]video games every day and that's exactly what we do because when

[27:32]we see a trial we see a test we see a problem

[27:35]we see a bump in the road our first reaction is why

[27:40]just like that nagging child we don't get it but we need

[27:48]to go back to the fundamentals brothers and sisters go back to

[27:51]the basics which is if allah is if he is all of

[28:07]these things then surely he knows best right it's the famous hadith

[28:13]when somebody goes to imam assad salaam and he didn't look too

[28:18]happy he looked visibly upset what's wrong what's happened to you he

[28:26]said well my wife just gave birth that it's a girl and

[28:30]you think this is something that's only happened back in those days

[28:36]but unfortunately even in our communities in this day and age so

[28:42]many families feel that it's some kind of a curse if allah

[28:46]subhanahu ta'ala gave them a girl which islam [Music] 14 centuries ago

[28:53]the holy prophet came and said look a girl is a blessing

[28:57]a girl is a means by which allah subhanahu wa ta'ala elevates

[29:05]you you should be happy you should be ecstatic that allah has

[29:09]blessed you with a girl i did a recent series of videos

[29:15]about all the hadith in which the imams praised the idea of

[29:20]having girls and the prophet i'll just mention this one the hadith

[29:25]says the prophet's lineage is from who other than a girl known

[29:35]as allah so he comes to the imam and says that it's

[29:48]a girl the imam said to him he said a few things

[29:53]one of them was this he said let me ask you this

[29:54]question if allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said to you that you're going

[30:04]to have a child would you like me to choose the gender

[30:07]of the child or do you want to choose the gender of

[30:11]the child yourself what would you say he said of course i

[30:16]would say oh allah you choose for me he said well allah

[30:20]did choose for you he chose a girl god says to musa

[30:28]he says [Applause] [Music] he says no one has sought proximity to

[30:40]me god says through an act that is better than being pleased

[30:52]with what i have chosen for him you want to get close

[30:55]to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala additional acts of worship are great salatul

[31:03]is beautiful all these things are great but you really want to

[31:08]get close to allah be pleased with what he has chosen for

[31:12]you again whether it's gender dysphoria whether it's the idea of why

[31:20]did god create me to begin with why does he want me

[31:22]to be alive or when you get to the details so many

[31:28]sins are committed because of the fact that we are not pleased

[31:33]with what allah has chosen for us all these cosmetic surgeries am

[31:39]i right why is my nose the shape that it is be

[31:43]pleased with what allah has chosen for you he's chosen for you

[31:50]to look this unique way be happy with it the shape of

[31:54]my body the shape of my this that all these things happen

[31:59]because we're simply not pleased we're not happy whereas a person who

[32:07]knows allah subhanahu wa to allah to be good to be merciful

[32:13]to be all-knowing to have a grand plan and that grand plan

[32:19]is for all of us to enter paradise this is the purpose

[32:23]of creation again i'll talk about that on another night if we

[32:27]believe this to be the the the truth to be true then

[32:32]you leave it all to him your actions obviously matter where you

[32:40]make a choice you can't blame it on allah but wherever you

[32:45]do not make a choice and allah chooses for you leave it

[32:50]to him just say you know better than i do why am

[32:56]i poor so many people ask especially in underdeveloped countries especially in

[33:00]countries in the middle east which are now going through incredible difficulty

[33:05]and pain economic slumps and downturns crashing currencies all these things that

[33:10]are happening right before our two eyes a lot of people find

[33:14]themselves asking this existential question why are we like this why are

[33:19]we poor listen to this beautiful hadith by amir al-mu'min in whether

[33:29]you're poor or rich is determined when he says when you are

[33:40]raised to face your reckoning before allah that's when you know whether

[33:44]you're poor or rich you look at someone like elon musk with

[33:52]his incredible wealth that's not a rich person that's the kind of

[33:57]wealth that you can't transfer you can transfer it from one account

[34:03]to another yeah but you can't transfer it from this world into

[34:07]the next right that's the kind of wealth that is nothing but

[34:10]a curse it's a wealth that's kept behind vaults and not spent

[34:17]where it's supposed to be spent not given to those who are

[34:21]needy or poor in fact the reason they have this kind of

[34:24]wealth is because the of the exploitation of the poor the reason

[34:28]they're so rich is because they take advantage of those who are

[34:32]powerless it's because they haven't given the wealth where they're supposed to

[34:37]that's why the hadith says that up to a certain cap you

[34:43]cannot increase your wealth except through being stingy and miserly or through

[34:48]haram up to a certain cap beyond that there has to be

[34:55]an element of haram involved right but ultimately they keep all this

[35:02]wealth behind these iron vaults and then when they don't know what

[35:07]to do with it they spend it on space exploration they spend

[35:10]countless amounts of money on trying to prolong life as the two

[35:17]co-founders of google have been doing for the last decade or so

[35:21]trying to fund studies and get scientists and labs and so forth

[35:24]because they feel like they need to keep alive as long as

[35:27]they can and so what do we do let's find a way

[35:30]to cryogenically freeze the human body so that we could live for

[35:36]more than the average human lifespan 200 years 300 years whatever it

[35:41]takes whatever it takes to live just a little bit longer and

[35:43]enjoy my wealth a little bit more and again as i said

[35:48]when all things fail let's try and squander hundreds of billions of

[35:51]dollars on you know missions to mars and on trying to explore

[35:57]the outer space and whatnot everybody cheers them everybody claps for them

[36:00]wow what great endeavors adventures they're trying to advance the human species

[36:06]they're already trying to escape this planet having completely destroyed it already

[36:12]trying to build outposts on mars so that when the time comes

[36:19]an environmental collapse takes everybody they're able to actually escape all of

[36:22]this and find a way to live life on some distant planet

[36:26]the point is none of this is worth anything says that only

[36:33]on the day of judgment will you know who's actually rich and

[36:36]who's poor remember the hadith of it's a favorite line of mine

[36:42]i might have mentioned it before when the agent of uthman the

[36:46]third khalifa he came to abu dharr trying to buy his conscience

[36:52]they were trying to silence this man abu dharr was a very

[36:58]vocal critic of uthman the reason he was exiled into jabal the

[37:03]south of lebanon lebanon became a shia especially became shia at the

[37:09]hands of abu dharr the reason he was exiled there was because

[37:13]they couldn't handle him he was being too critical of the ruling

[37:18]regime in medina and so eventually the governor of jabal sent a

[37:25]message to uthman saying hey this guy is converting the entire country

[37:28]man send him back to wherever he came from so they exiled

[37:32]him back to medina at the end of it all when they

[37:35]couldn't figure out how to silence him uthman resorted to what every

[37:40]tyrant does you either entice your critics or you threaten them right

[37:46]and so he began with the enticement he sent him his slave

[37:52]with a large sum of money again you've heard the story i'll

[37:59]make it short he said to him i have a gift from

[38:02]the khalifa and this is it it's a bag full of gold

[38:09]coins uthman gets into this back and forth uh discussion with him

[38:14]saying what is this for why is he sent it to me

[38:15]has he sent every single citizen a bag full of gold coins

[38:18]or is it just me what's so special about me is this

[38:22]his money or is this from the muslim treasury where did he

[38:24]get this from because from what i know uthman doesn't have this

[38:27]kind of money so he kind of mops the guy with the

[38:32]floor eventually he says to him listen take the money i know

[38:36]you need it you're poor he took a peek through the door

[38:40]and he noticed how the children of abu dharr were hungry he

[38:45]said tim you're poor take it at this point there is this

[38:51]vein in a buddha that popped he said to him you're calling

[38:58]me poor and i am the richest person in the world i

[39:06]have the guardianship and the william you're calling me poor abu dharr

[39:14]ultimately died of starvation and yet he sees himself as the richest

[39:23]person because he has the love of brothers and sisters whether i'm

[39:28]rich or poor whether i'm white or black whether i was born

[39:33]into this family or that family all of these determinations that allah

[39:36]subhanahu wa ta'ala made for me i should be pleased with them

[39:41]i should be happy with them why because allah knows best because

[39:45]at some point in the future there may come a day if

[39:48]i mature enough like a child who grows older and then realizes

[39:53]why his parents were sending him to school every day i might

[39:58]mature to the point where i realized that all of these twists

[40:00]and turns all these trials and tribulations all of these pains and

[40:04]difficulties that i faced were in my favor they were good for

[40:09]me so next time you find yourself having the urge to say

[40:12]oh allah why are you testing me like this what did i

[40:18]do to deserve this instead say oh allah you deem me worthy

[40:21]of this difficult test thank you thank you now help me overcome

[40:31]this trial now help me come out at the end with flying

[40:37]colors because you can do that i know you can help me

[40:41]i i know you can support me so to ask this question

[40:47]and i'll sum up is my imam pleased with me requires you

[40:53]to say or to ask another question am i pleased with allah

[40:57]subhanahu wa ta'ala am i pleased with what he has given me

[40:59]because if you reach that level of riva because it's truly incredible

[41:18]if you examine the words of not just imam al-hussein not just

[41:26]his inner circle of zainab but also the entire camp of imam

[41:32]al-hussein in spite of all of the unspeakable tragedies that they faced

[41:38]there is not a single hint of displeasure with the will of

[41:45]allah not once all you see is the opposite affirmations that we're

[41:50]happy with this we're pleased with this imam al-hussein saying i am

[41:58]pleased with whatever pleases you there is no one worthy of worship

[42:05]than you or when imam al-hussein says after the murder of his

[42:17]six-month-old infant oh allah if this pleases you take as much as

[42:23]pleases you some say that when imam al-hussein buried his infant son

[42:29]in the ground he was seen shaking his clothes like this in

[42:34]other words he's saying oh allah i've given everything in your way

[42:38]there's literally nothing i have to give you ladies all of these

[42:54]are affirmations that they were pleased with with what allah determined for

[42:59]them and chose for them and it's at that moment that allah

[43:04]gives you so much more he gives you certainty he gives you

[43:09]proximity to him he gives you all of these spiritual gifts that

[43:15]we so desperately need my dear brothers and sisters one of the

[43:20]greatest manifestations of one who was pleased with what allah gave them

[43:27]is uml think about the fact that married multiple lives and yet

[43:35]the single most famous after fatima [Music] are the children of um

[44:00]how does this happen it happens when you have surrendered your will

[44:06]to the will of allah subhanahu wa when your entire focus is

[44:12]the pleasure of the imam of your time um had no worry

[44:17]no concern in her life other than for amir al-mu'min to be

[44:21]pleased with her and after the imam imam hassan and ultimately imam

[44:28]and hussain because she knew that her fate was tied with that

[44:35]of imam al-hussein she knew that her children's fate was tied with

[44:40]imam al-hussein and his companions which is why she raised her children

[44:45]in order to die on the day of imagine looking at your

[44:52]children as they grow older and older and all you see is

[44:56]the prophecy that they will be murdered on the plains of karbala

[45:03]that they're only being born so that they die in the way

[45:06]of abba hussain on the plains of karbala this is what makes

[45:13]so special and it's why when the caravan returned to medina was

[45:22]dispatched by imam to tell of the tragedy jose your city i

[46:26]where are you going none of you bothered to follow him everyone

[46:37]gathers around to hear the news from what is it i hear

[46:58]you're saying mentioning my son jose why did you just mention jose

[47:06]bishop says i asked who is this woman and so he started

[47:31]off by mentioning her son's names one after the other with each

[47:36]of those names may my sons and everyone why are you talking

[48:01]to me about my sons tell me about the son of father

[48:16]may allah increase your reward why jose [Applause] now you can begin

[49:29]to imagine what happens before i go into she says i wish

[50:24]to see my sons it is at that point that she is

[50:30]told look in that direction that is your son she looks at

[50:33]her boy then she says where is my son she is told

[50:41]to look in the direction of the right flank of the throne

[50:46]of allah she looks in that direction she sees a ghost she

[50:51]sees something that is not very is we [Music] make the intention

[52:05]to recite this tiara on behalf of the imam of our time

[52:08]who is now mourning and crying day and night shedding tears out

[52:14]of his eyes perhaps this will be solace to his broken heart

[52:22]insha'allah m foreign foreign
