[0:00]foreign [Laughter] send it to you tomorrow alhamdulillah alhamdulillah is foreign respected

[2:27]brothers and sisters I congratulate you all on the auspicious birth of

[2:34]Imam the eighth Imam whose birth was on the eleventh of the

[2:44]just a few days ago and Imam was born in the year

[2:58]148.

[2:54]after Hijra just a few months after the martyrdom of his grandfather

[3:04]Imam and this is why there's a Hadith where Imam Assad that

[3:08]he says I wish I had met my grandson Imam because passed

[3:15]away and two months later ma'am and two months later as the

[3:24]or one month later as the birth of Imam there are several

[3:35]important things regarding his life one of them right now the mausoleum

[3:39]the visiting place the visiting Shrine of Imam is one of the

[3:47]largest if not the largest Mausoleum and place of worship on Earth

[3:52]even at some point it was larger than Masjid Al Haram and

[3:58]Masjid and Nabi the shrine of Imam and this is a sign

[4:03]this is a sign that Imam over 1 000 years after his

[4:11]death Imam Radha is so popular and visited by millions of people

[4:16]every year where they have to keep expanding and growing the shrine

[4:21]of Imam Ali abnormal now we have a specific insistence Hadith insisting

[4:30]the shias and the followers of the al-bait and the ziara on

[4:37]the visitation of Imam in fact some of our Scholars like who

[4:44]passed away he says that even the ziara of Imam is perhaps

[4:50]greater in reward than the ziara of Imam Hussain and we all

[4:53]know how important the ziara of Imam Hussain is and there's a

[4:57]reason behind this the reason is that the one who visits Imam

[5:03]is an ifna ashari follower of the bait meaning if you believe

[5:10]in Imam that means you believe in Imam al-jawad and you believe

[5:13]in Imam alhadi and you believe in Imam alaskari and you believe

[5:16]in Imam al-mahdi but the one who visits Imam Hussain are they

[5:23]necessarily meaning does that does this person necessarily mean that they're a

[5:29]follower of all the imams of the al-bait no there are people

[5:32]who after for example imams Imam Zain Al abedin instead of following

[5:37]they followed Zaid and they became known as the zaidi shias there

[5:44]were people that after the death of Imam instead of following Imam

[5:49]they followed Ismail and they became known as the Ismael and then

[5:56]there was another group that emerged during the life of Imam by

[6:04]the name of al-wakatha where when Imam passed away he had some

[6:11]Representatives some they were deputies of the Imam when the Imam was

[6:16]in prison he dies in the prison he had some one of

[6:18]them a man by the name of Ali IBN ABI Hamza any

[6:23]this man when Imam al-qadam passed away he did not want to

[6:29]pass on the homes that people had given him he did not

[6:32]want to pass it on to Imam so what did he say

[6:38]he said Imam al-qadam is still an Imam and he's in he's

[6:42]an occultation the same thing that is said about Imam right now

[6:46]he said he is and he refused to accept the Imam of

[6:53]Imam and this began a sect a ferca by the name of

[6:56]al-wattatha meaning that they stopped Imam al-qadam and they refused to follow

[7:02]Imam of course there were many debates between them and the mamarada

[7:08]during the life of Imam Radha and this sect it fell apart

[7:11]during the life of Imam Radha and many of those people they

[7:17]went back to following and believing in Imam now my dear brothers

[7:26]and sisters we constantly we often remember the imams of the bait

[7:30]someone might come and say what's the big deal every year you

[7:33]guys remember these imams every year you remember these individuals on their

[7:37]birth date on the death anniversary you constantly remind yourself and remember

[7:42]these imams why do we remember the imams why do we talk

[7:48]about the imams see what makes the imamsalam different from all of

[7:57]the other Scholars there were many virtuous there were many good people

[8:01]during the lives of the imams but what makes the imams of

[8:04]the Arabic different is that they were appointed by Allah the same

[8:09]way the prophets were chosen and appointed by God and when they

[8:15]were appointed by God they had certain characteristics and qualifications that made

[8:20]them leaders not only during their time but leaders until today until

[8:27]today we have to take them as Role Models until today we

[8:30]are in need of the imams to learn from their lives to

[8:36]take lessons from the lives of the imams of the alibate one

[8:39]of the first signs that distinguished the imams of the Salam from

[8:44]anyone else was the knowledge of the imams the knowledge that's it

[8:48]right now if you want to follow someone if you want to

[8:53]take someone as a role model what's the first thing you look

[8:55]for you look for knowledge who do we follow after rasulullah there's

[9:00]many people many sahaba but a smart person will go towards the

[9:06]one who has the most knowledge and this is why we follow

[9:09]him because Imam Ali in everyone accepts that he was the most

[9:15]knowledgeable after rasulullah said about him I am the city of knowledge

[9:26]and the Ali is the gate to that City and the imams

[9:31]of the Allah in any time during their time they were the

[9:35]most knowledgeable meaning during the time of Imam al-hussein he was the

[9:39]most knowledgeable person during his era and then Imam he was the

[9:44]most knowledgeable and they would prove their knowledge they would show their

[9:53]knowledge Allah says in the Quran they guide by the order of

[10:01]Allah and they have been given Knowledge from God the knowledge of

[10:04]the imams is different from my knowledge and your knowledge we go

[10:08]to school and we learn their knowledge is given to them by

[10:12]Allah he proved his knowledge one of the ways in which he

[10:21]proved his knowledge was people they would ask him questions they would

[10:25]ask him the most difficult of questions would be able to answer

[10:32]them the same way his father answered the same way his grandfather

[10:34]Imam sadak and his great-grandfather Imam al-baqar and all of the imams

[10:41]of the adult bait they would all answer the questions and the

[10:46]knowledge of Imam was tested when he became the Crown Prince there

[10:53]was the Islamic caliphate was the caliph he made Imam to be

[11:00]his Crown Prince he appointed him he forced the Imam to be

[11:04]in a position of political power now the imams of the al-bit

[11:07]they were never in position of political power since the time of

[11:11][Music] was 20 years 17 years of them he was in Medina

[11:22]but the last three years of his life the caliph the king

[11:28]at the time he summons the Imam to come to qurasan this

[11:31]is why Imam is buried in mashad in eastern part of Iran

[11:36]right now why because that was the capital of the Abbasi government

[11:41]at the time so when the Caleb he brings the Imam he

[11:44]would invite the top Scholars the top Scholars he would invite them

[11:51]and he wanted deep inside he did not want the Imam to

[11:54]show his knowledge he wanted to kind of humiliate the Imam so

[12:00]he would bring the top Scholars so he brings the person who

[12:03]is equivalent to the Pope the leader of the Christians at the

[12:07]time the leader of the Jews at the time the leader of

[12:09]the zoroastrians all of the religions he's a political leader he could

[12:12]bring anyone he wants he would bring them and he would tell

[12:17]them ask questions and they would ask difficult questions would be able

[12:23]to answer them very easily one day one and this is a

[12:28]beautiful Hadith one of the companions of Imam Radha he comes to

[12:31]him he tells him my master I'm very worried he tells him

[12:35]why are you worried he says because he brought the jatalik the

[12:40]the leader of the Christians to debate with you so how are

[12:46]you going to debate with him right now if I were to

[12:48]debate with a Muslim you use the Quran you use the Hadith

[12:53]you use this and that a new debate with a Muslim but

[12:55]how do you debate with someone who doesn't even believe in the

[12:59]Quran how do you believe how do you debate with someone who

[13:01]doesn't believe in rasulullah so he tells them what are you going

[13:07]to do the the companion of Imam was very nervous tells him

[13:09]what are you going to do he tells him I will debate

[13:14]them using their own books that I'm in the session there's hundreds

[13:17]of people sinning he has the Bible memorized and he uses their

[13:24]own books and their own scriptures and he proves that he is

[13:28]the most knowledgeable of the individuals at that time that man the

[13:33]Christian man he tells him do you believe in Jesus a Christian

[13:39]man he tells him do you believe in Jesus and he's the

[13:41]someone at the caliber of the Pope the highest figure in Christianity

[13:45]at that time he tells him he tells him do you believe

[13:48]in Jesus tells him yes of course we believe in Jesus the

[13:53]Quran teaches us to love and respect and Revere Jesus chapter 19

[13:57]in the Quran and the name of Jesus is mentioned many times

[14:01]in the Quran he tells him what Imam tells him we believe

[14:06]in Jesus and we love Jesus but we believe that rasulullah Prophet

[14:10]Muhammad is greater than Jesus the man says why how could you

[14:15]believe someone is greater than Jesus Jesus was the greatest person tells

[14:19]him we believe Jesus is great we believe Prophet Muhammad is greater

[14:24]because he used to worship God more than anyone else right away

[14:29]that man he said no no how can you say Jesus no

[14:34]one worshiped more than Jesus Jesus used to worship day and night

[14:37]and he used to constantly worship tells him who did Jesus worship

[14:43]the man he said Jesus worshiped God then how do you say

[14:50]he's God how do you say he's the son of God when

[14:53]he used to worship how could someone worship their father or how

[14:56]could someone who's a god worship another God that means they're not

[15:01]God so Imam in front of hundreds of people he uses this

[15:06]argument and he made that man accept that Jesus used to worship

[15:09]and the fact that he used to worship means he is not

[15:15]God and this is the wittiness and the clever argument of Imam

[15:21]of course everyone recognized the knowledge of Imam on his way to

[15:28]harassan when he was going from Madina to harassan he passed by

[15:31]hundreds of cities hundreds of cities and the people the Muslims of

[15:38]the time they used to these people they had not seen rasulullah

[15:41]they had not seen anyone who is a representative of God so

[15:48]they wanted to see someone who's the grandson of rasulullah so he

[15:51]passed by a city a town by the name of naishabur it's

[15:57]close to mashad he passed by it and Hadith says that thousands

[16:01]thousands of scribes and Scholars they were out waiting on the road

[16:07]on the path where the Imam is going to pass and they

[16:11]they have their pen and their paper in their hand and they're

[16:15]waiting for the Caravan of the Imam to pass and when the

[16:21]Imam passes they tell him please this is the first time seeing

[16:27]someone who is the descendants of rasulullah so for them this was

[16:30]a big shock and the Hadith says that when some people saw

[16:33]Imam Radha they began to cry and they began to faint when

[16:38]seeing Imam so they saw him and then they tell him tell

[16:43]us a Hadith from your grandfather rasulullah so he tells them I

[16:47]heard from my father musal kadam who heard from his father jaffar

[16:54]Assad who heard from his father Muhammad al-baqar who heard from his

[16:58]father zainal abedin who heard from his father who heard from who

[17:04]heard from rasulullah who heard from who heard from God it tells

[17:11]him he tells them the Hadith and what is that Hadith the

[17:17]Hadith is Hadith from Allah this is the words of God what

[17:32]is it anyone who says it means there's no deity there's no

[17:38]Lord there's no God that is worthy of being worshiped other than

[17:45]Allah it is My Sanctuary whoever says enters into the sanctuary of

[17:55]God and whoever enters into the sanctuary of God then this person

[17:59]will be safe from the torment from the adab of Allah on

[18:04]the day of judgment and this is what differentiates a Muslim from

[18:08]a non-muslim when you say that's why identifies you as a Muslim

[18:12]and that's what separates you on the day of judgment between the

[18:17]Muslim and the kafir the one who says so this is why

[18:21]we have to remind ourselves to always say to always say the

[18:25]shahada was about to move and then he brings his head out

[18:35]of the Caravan once again and he tells them it's very easy

[18:46]to say this is why on the death bed what's expected from

[18:50]a person to say Allah is the easiest form of thicker it's

[18:57]easier than for example that requires more energy more lip movement doesn't

[19:07]require anything it's easy to say however it's heavy and it has

[19:14]many conditions has many conditions and I am one of the conditions

[19:18]of what does this mean this means that you have to accept

[19:24]the imams you have to accept rasulullah you have to believe in

[19:28]the full message and that is what will identify you as a

[19:32]real and true devoted Muslim so my dear brothers and sisters he

[19:38]stands out from his knowledge second the manners these are two things

[19:48]that make the imams of the Albert stand out from everyone else

[19:54]in society there was a a man who was a general in

[19:57]the army of Haroon he's in prison and Imam he along with

[20:04]the family of Imam al-qadam and his brothers and his children they

[20:11]are in the House of Imam in Medina one of his generals

[20:16]Imam al-qadam is in prison now Imam has either passed away or

[20:21]not passed away this General by the name of al-jaludi he goes

[20:24]to Madina and he has direct orders to loot the house of

[20:31]Imam meaning take everything out of the house of Imam look how

[20:34]the imams of the Albert were persecuted we cry for Imam Al

[20:39]Hussain but all of the imams of the al-bid they were persecuted

[20:41]this General he wants to come in with his soldiers to come

[20:46]and take everything out of the house of Imam he comes out

[20:49]he tells him wait we have women we have children in the

[20:53]house why do you want to bring your soldiers in what do

[20:55]you need he says I have orders that I have to take

[21:00]everything everything no piece of jewelry no piece of extra garment he

[21:04]goes in the house and he tells the woman he tells them

[21:09]the soldiers they want to take everything so all of the women

[21:11]in the in the family of Imam they took out all of

[21:16]their jewelry their extra clothing whatever they had on the Hadith says

[21:19]they used to have to wait in line so that they could

[21:23]pray so that they could be fully covered in order to pray

[21:26]these are the women of the family of Imam now subhanallah things

[21:33]changed Imam we mentioned 17 years he was in Medina the last

[21:37]three years of his life he becomes the Crown Prince harun dies

[21:42]his son moon comes to power and he brings next to him

[21:44]now Imam is the Crown Prince people are coming to say salaam

[21:49]and people are praising him and there's a coin that is made

[21:52]that has his name on it so one of the men who's

[21:56]coming he has to come and give allegiance to Imam is that

[21:58]man jaludi the same man who persecuted Imam jaludi he comes Moon

[22:05]he knew of the story he knew what jaludi had done and

[22:08]the crimes that jaludi had committed against when jaludi enters into the

[22:18]room he tells Moon next to him he tells him by my

[22:21]right upon you please don't don't punish him for what he did

[22:31]this is the man that did this and that to us I

[22:35]want you to punish him so before he enters he yells he

[22:39]says by the rights of your father upon you harun don't listen

[22:42]to what this man is saying subhanallah you see some people they

[22:47]have a pure heart and other people they don't have a pure

[22:52]heart Moon he tells him he told me that I should not

[22:54]punish you but you're telling me by the rights of my father

[22:57]not to listen to him so I'm not going to listen to

[22:59]him and I'm going to punish you for what you did Salaam

[23:05]was the Crown Prince he used to sit they used to bring

[23:09]the food for him imagine you're not you're the Crown Prince of

[23:12]yesterday we all saw what happens when the Crown Prince gets married

[23:17]and all of the all of the luxurious lifestyle and all of

[23:20]these things Imam is not like that he used to sit and

[23:25]eat and then he used to invite the cook and the servant

[23:29]and the person at the door and the guards and everyone he

[23:31]would tell them come and eat with me and he used to

[23:35]sit on the floor and eat with them these are the salaam

[23:38]there was a man by the name of Ibrahim Abbas he says

[23:47]he says I never heard or saw anyone greater than Abul Hassan

[24:01]he says never in my life he used to always be with

[24:06]the Imam he says never in my life I heard him say

[24:11]some foul language or something harsh towards anyone I never saw him

[24:25]break someone's talk you know sometimes someone's talking and you interrupt this

[24:29]is a bad habit the person has an idea the person has

[24:34]something they're saying and they get interrupted even though his talk is

[24:39]the most important talk he would never interrupt anyone while they're speaking

[24:44]and he never rejected anyone anytime anyone would ask him for anything

[24:53]he would answer him he Praises him he says I never saw

[25:07]him show any sign of disrespect to anyone this is Imam and

[25:10]he says Imam used to read the Quran once every three days

[25:16]some of us three years passed and we haven't opened the Quran

[25:21]once every three days so he used to say Imam used to

[25:27]say if I want to read the Quran in a shorter time

[25:30]span I can he says I could read it in one day

[25:34]if I wanted to but I read it in three days because

[25:36]every verse in the Quran I open it I think about it

[25:41]this is God's message to me Allah is speaking to me what

[25:42]is Allah trying to tell me he says because I do in

[25:46]the Quran that's why it's taking three days if I wanted to

[25:49]read it faster I could have read it faster foreign saying foreign

[27:39]my dear brothers and sisters why do we remember the imams of

[27:47]the al-bait why does the Quran give us why does the Quran

[27:51]give us examples of prophets of individuals righteous individuals that must be

[27:59]remembered Allah talks about Ibrahim and Musa and Isa and many of

[28:03]the prophets of Allah one thing that is in common with all

[28:10]of these individuals whether there are prophets or imams is that every

[28:15]single one of them was tested and went through a difficult trial

[28:19]in their life Ibrahim was tested Musa was tested Ayub was tested

[28:24]Allah was tested Jesus was tested and the imams of the island

[28:27]mate they were all tested and the reason why the Quran gives

[28:32]us these stories the reason why we are remembering the bait is

[28:35]so that we can take lessons from these individuals so that when

[28:42]we are tested we will also know how to deal with the

[28:45]challenges of our times my dear brothers and sisters we are going

[28:48]through challenges the same way Ibrahim went through challenges some of us

[28:53]are just not aware that we're being tested some of us are

[28:57]just totally oblivious of the fact that we're in a test we

[29:02]think it's just La La Land and you're you're just having fun

[29:04]and there's no test whatsoever no we're all we're being tested as

[29:09]well and it becomes very dangerous when you don't know that you're

[29:13]in a test you might be failing the test and you don't

[29:15]even realize you're in a test now if someone realizes they're in

[29:18]the test and they're failing maybe they will do something to make

[29:21]it better but if you don't even know you're totally oblivious of

[29:24]the fact that you're in a test then it becomes difficult my

[29:28]dear brothers and sisters the reason I bring this up is because

[29:33]right now today is the second day of June June is what

[29:38]pride month right now you go to the schools you go to

[29:44]the universities you turn on the cartoon you go shopping wherever you

[29:52]go you're going to be reminded because there's this agenda to try

[29:57]to constantly remind you that it's pride month and you need to

[30:00]accept this and you need to acknowledge it and you need to

[30:06]join this bandwagon and if you don't then you're going to be

[30:08]canceled then you are the wrong then you are the one who

[30:12]are you're the one who's in the wrong right now you see

[30:18]the pride flag wherever you go and my dear brothers and sisters

[30:21]my message is not to the non-muslims today some people they come

[30:24]and say you Muslims you want to come and tell other people

[30:27]how to live their lives let them do whatever they want my

[30:30]messages to the Muslims my message is to my dear brothers and

[30:35]sisters in Iman because I have a religious obligation and we all

[30:39]have a religious obligation to speak out today what's very sad is

[30:46]that many Muslims are falling victim to this pride and this so-called

[30:51]tolerance and acceptance of deviant Behavior my dear brothers and sisters Islam

[30:56]teaches us to be tolerant I am tolerant with people who are

[31:00]different from me but I'm not going to be tolerant of an

[31:06]agenda that's coming and trying to have me conform to that ideology

[31:10]to that mindset especially if that mindset is different and contradicting and

[31:17]against my beliefs today there are some Muslims they say if we

[31:22]we want to assimilate into society and in order to assimilate then

[31:28]we have to accept everything that's out there is this a correct

[31:31]mentality you have to accept everything in order to be accepted of

[31:36]course not you be you you be proud of what you have

[31:39]be proud of your beliefs be proud of your identity be proud

[31:43]of your faith and be let other people do whatever they want

[31:46]but their ideas you have to join the bandwagon you have to

[31:51]put a on your icon you have to put the rainbow flag

[31:53]you have to wear something you have to show support and then

[31:57]therefore you're going to be a person who's assimilated an accepted in

[32:00]society and that's not reality that's not true do I expect someone

[32:05]to pray with me and fasten Ramadan and and go to Hajj

[32:10]with me no I'm not I'm telling you you want to be

[32:12]a non-muslim do what you want and let me do what I

[32:16]want but here there are some Muslims that are falling prey to

[32:19]this ideology and Allah speaks about this in the Quran should I

[32:28]tell you about those who are the law they they do Amal

[32:32]they do a lot of good deeds but they're losing everything they

[32:46]do a lot of they do a lot of things in this

[32:50]life but they think what they're doing is good but in fact

[32:55]if it's contradicting to Faith if it's contradicting to beliefs then it

[32:59]is now my dear brothers and sisters we're not going we're not

[33:15]going around telling people live how you live your lives we're just

[33:18]telling us ourselves that we need to hold on to our faith

[33:24]and we could we should not accept deviant behaviors we should not

[33:29]accept deviant acts you know just in 1973 according to the DSM

[33:35]which is a book on all types of mental health disorders before

[33:38]1973 homosexuality was regarded as a pathological illness a mental illness now

[33:45]it's not only not an illness but it's something that is pushed

[33:52]on everyone else right now the gender theory that you it's a

[33:55]theory some someone came up with this Theory does this mean I

[33:58]have to accept it gender fluidity meaning one day you could be

[34:02]a guy one day you want to be a girl one day

[34:03]you want to be a cat one day you want to be

[34:06]anything and this is this is harmful this is dangerous if someone

[34:10]walks in and this person is sick instead of treating this person

[34:14]what is being imposed on everyone is that you have to accept

[34:19]this person and you have to allow this person to do whatever

[34:21]they want my dear brothers and sisters we Muslims we need to

[34:25]be more resilient we need to hold our ground more and we

[34:29]need to identify with our faith with our religion with our values

[34:35]my values I have my own values why should I go and

[34:37]uphold someone else's values be proud of your own your own faith

[34:42]and your own teachings my dear brothers and sisters I'll conclude with

[34:46]this Hadith from Allah says he says how would you be if

[35:10]your woman have become corrupted and your men have become meaning they've

[35:15]deviated From the Path the right path and you will see this

[35:23]and you don't say anything you don't do America if you don't

[35:25]say this is wrong and this is right and joining the good

[35:30]and forbidding the evil you don't do that the Muslims they got

[35:34]shocked is this really going to happen we will actually reach that

[35:43]state he tells them it will be even worse than that and

[35:47]then they tell him what he says he says how would you

[35:57]be when you do Amor belmunkar meaning you tell people to do

[36:01]the wrong and when you see someone doing something right you say

[36:05]no no don't do that be quiet don't talk when I hate

[36:09]somebody we're actually going to reach that state he tells them yes

[36:18]and even worse than that they tell him what he says he

[36:28]says how will you be when you will reach a time that

[36:33]you will see the munkar the wrong as this is the good

[36:35]this is good this is healthy and when you see someone doing

[36:40]something good you will you will see it as something wrong you
