[1:33]respected brothers and sisters if we look at the world around us

[1:44]we would notice that this world is filled with evil it's plagued

[1:50]with tyranny and oppression and suffering everywhere you look there is suffering

[1:57]look at the wars that exist today in this world and the

[2:01]destruction and suffering that they leave look at the natural disasters that's

[2:06]happening and we see the destruction and the suffering that they cause

[2:11]look at the diseases and the sicknesses that have spread and our

[2:16]daily problems all of which cause so much suffering to the human

[2:21]being so this world as we see it now it is filled

[2:25]with suffering and this widespread suffering that we see in the world

[2:30]it may lead to one of two problems the first problem that

[2:36]it may lead to is atheism many individuals they stop believing in

[2:42]allah they reject the existence of allah they deny his existence simply

[2:48]because of the suffering that they see they will lose a loved

[2:52]one when they were young his mother dies her brother dies or

[2:57]one of their loved ones will be afflicted with a fatal disease

[3:02]or they will have a very very difficult disease that they have

[3:05]to cope with like cancer or or some other illness and thus

[3:11]they feel angry that if there is a god why does he

[3:15]allow the suffering to happen why doesn't he stop this and because

[3:19]of this rage and anger that they have they translate it into

[3:23]what into atheism they reject allah i don't understand why allah allows

[3:28]me or my family members or friends to suffer and because they

[3:31]don't understand why they're suffering then they reject allah and that's why

[3:37]today the main cause of atheism today is what is the problem

[3:42]of evil is suffering because people can understand why allah allows suffering

[3:47]they reject him it's not because of intellectual reasons it's not because

[3:52]of scientific reasons most people become atheists there is lots of scientific

[3:56]proof and evidence to prove the existence of the almighty allah it's

[4:01]the emotional reason the emotional obstacle that how can i believe in

[4:05]a god that allows me to suffer allah should be merciful since

[4:10]he allows me to suffer that means there is no god so

[4:13]one problem that suffering leads to today in our societies is atheism

[4:17]they reject allah because there is suffering why doesn't he stop it

[4:22]another problem that suffering may lead to is suicide every forty seconds

[4:30]in this world if you read the statistics about suicide every forty

[4:36]seconds in this world someone commits suicide every forty seconds so on

[4:41]an entire day an entire day twenty four hour day more than

[4:46]two thousand one hundred sixty people commit suicide every single day every

[4:52]day more than two thousand people commit suicide why why are all

[4:56]these people committing suicide why because they're suffering because you find most

[5:02]individuals that commit suicide they have depression they have severe depression and

[5:10]they can no longer cope with this depression they decide to take

[5:13]their life they commit suicide now what triggered that depression usually it's

[5:18]suffering this person this man this woman they suffered for example they

[5:23]were bullied in the school in the university in the society they

[5:28]were bullied they become depressed they want to take their life they

[5:31]lose a loved one they become depressed they can't cope with it

[5:35]they commit suicide or you find his girlfriend dumps him this happens

[5:39]many times his girlfriend dumps him leaves him cheats on him and

[5:43]thus he gets so depressed he commits suicide so the point is

[5:47]suffering because of suffering some people have severe depression and then ultimately

[5:52]they commit suicide so suffering today it causes one of these two

[5:57]bad problems either it leads some people to atheism or it will

[6:01]lead others to committing suicide the reason why many people they commit

[6:06]suicide or they become atheists because of suffering is because they have

[6:11]a misconception they have misunderstood one very important point and that is

[6:17]their misconception is that they see suffering as all negative they see

[6:23]it as punishment from allah when someone sees that he is suffering

[6:28]he thinks that allah is punishing him he thinks allah doesn't like

[6:33]him allah hates him allah doesn't love him and that's why many

[6:37]human beings their first instinct when they suffer what do they ask

[6:41]why me you allah so they're assuming that allah hates them allah

[6:46]is punishing them and thus they ask why me why punish me

[6:49]punish someone else i'm a good person why are you punishing me

[6:53]so thus they have the anger rage they reject allah so the

[6:57]problem with these people that reject allah is they have they seen

[7:02]suffering as always negative as it's a punishment as if it's a

[7:06]punishment from allah and allah hates them and those individuals that commit

[7:10]suicide why do they commit suicide because they lose hope feel forsaken

[7:15]they feel like nobody cares about them and it's no longer worth

[7:18]living in this dunya they can't they can't cope with the with

[7:22]the depression they have the suffering that they have and that's why

[7:24]they commit suicide tonight my friend i want to give you a

[7:29]new perspective about suffering so that one sees that they're instead of

[7:33]rejecting allah after suffering one has to embrace allah one has to

[7:39]embrace allah and accept the will of allah not reject him so

[7:44]that once we understand this new perspective the human being realizes that

[7:50]once he feels depressed and he feels the suffering is too great

[7:55]he will realize that it's worth living that he should feel no

[7:59]need to take his life he's not forgotten he's not forsaken no

[8:03]so i want to change this perspective that we human beings have

[8:07]about suffering and i will mention my friends three points three points

[8:12]that we need to keep in mind in order for us to

[8:16]understand suffering in the right way why does allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[8:21]allow suffering and what are the benefits of suffering and these three

[8:26]points they will greatly they will greatly help the human being in

[8:30]coping with his depression with his problems with his suffering so that

[8:34]once he suffers once he has the depression once he sees that

[8:39]he doesn't doesn't want to live in this world anymore he will

[8:43]think again and say no you know what it's worth it's worth

[8:47]having patience he'll find the determination and the resilience to be patient

[8:53]and to endure all of the problems and the suffering he has

[8:57]after we understand these three important points the first point that we

[9:02]have to keep in mind when it comes to suffering is that

[9:05]there is no such thing as a problem free life in the

[9:09]sunnih there is no human being that has no problems certain human

[9:14]beings they think they're the only ones that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[9:17]allows them to suffer and that's why they say why me why

[9:21]not my neighbor why not my friend no my brother no my

[9:24]sister allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he allows suffering to afflict everyone every

[9:30]human being will suffer in this dunya every human being will have

[9:34]problems so it's not a problem that's specific to me or to

[9:38]my people or to one nation or another no every human being

[9:42]will suffer in this dunya in one beautiful tradition the fourth imam

[9:48]ali ibn al hussein he told one of his companions he told

[9:54]him don't ask allah don't ask allah to give you something that

[9:59]he has not created so his companion he asked the imam what

[10:03]are you talking about what do you mean what did i ask

[10:06]that allah has not created the imam told him don't ask for

[10:10]arraha don't ask for comforts in the dunya because allah did not

[10:15]create comforts in the dunya he created it in the akhirah in

[10:19]the next life comfort is for the heaven that's where allah created

[10:23]it he did not create comfort in the dunya so don't ask

[10:27]for it because it's not there you won't find it allah placed

[10:30]it in the akhirah people search for it in the dunya but

[10:33]they will never find it because it's not there it doesn't exist

[10:37]allah has not created it so this is a very important point

[10:41]that we have to put in mind that this dunya in this

[10:44]world that we live in there is no such thing as comfort

[10:47]allah did not create comfort for us in this world comfort is

[10:50]for the next life this life allah why did he bring us

[10:55]to test us and that's why in another beautiful hadith amir al

[10:58]mumineen he heard someone one day do a dua that person said

[11:03]allah i seek refuge in you from fitna from problems from being

[11:12]tried from difficulties from hardships i seek refuge in you from that

[11:17]i don't want any difficulties hardships and problems in life amir al

[11:21]mumineen he told him this is the wrong dua don't do this

[11:25]type of dua allah won't answer your dua he said every human

[11:33]being will be tried every human being will have hardships every human

[11:38]being will have difficulties so don't ask allah that you don't want

[11:42]difficulties it's not going to happen he's not going to answer you

[11:45]because every human being will have hardships this is a part of

[11:48]life the imam told him this is how you do dua say

[11:53]this allah i seek refuge in you from the fitnaz from the

[12:01]trials that take me away from allah so tell don't tell allah

[12:06]don't try me tell allah don't try me in a way in

[12:09]which my iman is weakened don't try me in a way in

[12:14]which i am far from you don't you allah bring difficulties upon

[12:19]me which make my iman weaker these are the difficulties that we

[12:23]should ask allah to what divert from us not all difficulties only

[12:27]the difficulties that weaken our iman yes say tell allah i ask

[12:33]you to keep away those difficulties away from me because sometimes when

[12:36]the human being suffers sometimes when the human being is under difficulty

[12:40]he goes far from allah to an extent that he rejects him

[12:44]so i ask you you allah to give me to give me

[12:49]vulnerability to give me power the ability that i am what that

[12:54]i am strong in front of difficulties and i am not faced

[12:57]with difficulties that weaken my iman in another hadith it says that

[13:03]the imam the same story he answered him in another way also

[13:06]a beautiful way the imam he told that man who said allah

[13:09]i don't want fitna i don't want to be tried the imam

[13:14]told him this beautiful these beautiful words he told him he told

[13:27]him he says when you the imam told him when you are

[13:34]telling allah i don't want any problems i don't want any difficulties

[13:39]you're asking allah not to give you money or children why the

[13:44]imam said because allah says in the holy quran your children are

[13:50]fitnah your money is fitnah when you say allah i don't want

[13:53]fitnah in essence you're asking allah to not give you money or

[13:57]children why because allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he says your money

[14:00]and your children are fitna he means that allah will try you

[14:04]even through your money through your children yes the point that the

[14:08]imam is highlighting in this hadith is that the very things that

[14:12]make the human being happy the things that he always wants and

[14:16]he thinks will make him happy those things can be a curse

[14:20]on the human being they can bring him suffering they can stress

[14:24]him out how many parents yes we all love children but how

[14:27]many parents do they have such a hard time with their children

[14:31]they struggle so much with their children their children cause so much

[14:34]problems for their parents correct they embarrass them in the society every

[14:39]day they have a scandal they call them from the school the

[14:43]parents your child did this today we found drugs with him some

[14:46]parents they come say tell me i can't sleep because of what

[14:49]my son or daughter is doing they go into drugs they do

[14:53]crimes they have a problem every day and they embarrass that father

[14:58]and mother in the society so a child doesn't mean it'll always

[15:02]be a good child a child may be good may be bad

[15:05]so this child that we see as a nama can be a

[15:07]curse likewise our money can be a curse our money you find

[15:13]sometimes it could be a source of my miseries how many wealthy

[15:17]people you find that has so much money as soon as the

[15:20]stock market crashes or goes down he has a heart attack it's

[15:25]that same money that's supposed to make him happy it gives him

[15:27]a heart attack when the real estate crashes goes down changes when

[15:32]some certain currencies change you see the wealthy people they stress out

[15:36]so much so it's his money that's giving him what stress that's

[15:40]causing him stress that's giving him a heart attack problems so many

[15:44]times the things that we want is gonna make us suffer are

[15:47]gonna make us suffer so when you ask allah you tell him

[15:50]you allah i don't want fitnah that means you don't want allah

[15:52]to give you anything because anything allah gives you even if you

[15:56]think it's good it may have another side to it it may

[15:59]have a downside it may cause you to suffer so ask allah

[16:03]to protect you from the fitness that will make your iman weaker

[16:07]subhanallah sometimes we look at some people in the society we think

[16:10]they're perfect we think they have absolutely no problems yes maybe i

[16:15]see him for example he's very wealthy maybe i see him he's

[16:18]powerful he may be a politician i say he's so lucky he

[16:22]has everything but trust me even those individuals allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[16:26]will what try them in different ways maybe he does not try

[16:30]through his wealth maybe he's not tried through poverty he has power

[16:35]he has money but however you'll find this person may have a

[16:38]sickness have a disease that millions of dollars cannot remove you might

[16:42]find this person may have a family problem he'll have a problem

[16:46]with his children a problem with his wife she'll have a problem

[16:48]problem with her husband he might have a psychological problem so allah

[16:52]subhanahu wa ta'ala will try everybody there is no person that is

[16:56]immune there is no person that will not be tried in this

[16:59]dunya and he will not have any problems and difficulties i remember

[17:04]a few years ago there was a a young man very smart

[17:08]young man who was in software engineering and he developed and created

[17:14]a famous game that became very very famous and i'm sure all

[17:17]of your children they play it minecraft if you remember it all

[17:21]children used to play it so all of a sudden he gets

[17:23]lucky one day he's an average young guy microsoft comes and buys

[17:29]it from him for $2,000,000,000 crazy amounts subhanallah one lousy game $2,000,000,000

[17:35]so all the sudden he was an average person made you know

[17:39]a moderate a modest amount of money few thousand maybe he made

[17:42]a month all the sudden he's given the dunya he's given $2,000,000,000

[17:47]everyone they said how lucky is this person how honored is this

[17:51]person this person is going to live happily for the rest of

[17:53]his life subhanallah a few months after that he wrote on his

[17:57]twitter account that i'm depressed i'm not happy because i got the

[18:01]money i bought the house i bought the lamborghini i bought the

[18:04]nice car maybe even a private jet i got everything okay now

[18:07]what now i'm bored now i'm bored i want more even this

[18:13]person who had all this wealth he was depressed so there's no

[18:16]person that you no matter how they try how much they try

[18:20]to present themselves as what as we're perfect human beings we have

[18:23]no problems our life is perfect they will run into problems the

[18:27]least thing they'll get depressed you could be living in a jannah

[18:30]in heaven but you're depressed and you won't enjoy it what's the

[18:33]point if you have the best family you have health you have

[18:37]money you have everything but you have depression will you enjoy any

[18:40]of it no so every human being allah he will try them

[18:45]why because life is a test obviously allah didn't bring us here

[18:48]to relax he brought us here to try us he wants to

[18:52]see our character our akhla our personality is it good is it

[18:57]bad what will we choose will we make good decisions and bad

[19:01]decisions and as we mentioned if you remember in my first lecture

[19:05]we said that the human being if you want to see his

[19:08]true nature you want to see his true character put him under

[19:12]pressure put him under difficulty and i mentioned the famous arabic poem

[19:16]and that or the expression that if you want to see the

[19:24]true nature of someone don't look at him when he's relaxed and

[19:27]he has a full stomach no look at that person when he's

[19:30]under difficulty and pressure this is when the true colors begin to

[19:34]show this is when the true nature of the human being begins

[19:37]to show so allah tries us he puts us under pressure and

[19:41]difficulty so that he sees our true nature our true character and

[19:45]he judges us based upon that so this is the first point

[19:50]that no human being will live in this dunya without any problems

[19:54]it's a problem that every human being suffers from point number two

[19:59]the second point that we have to do that we have to

[20:01]keep in mind in order for us to cope with our problems

[20:07]and the suffering and to better understand why allah allows suffering to

[20:10]happen the second point that we have to keep in mind is

[20:14]that we said many individuals they assume they think that when allah

[20:20]allows them to suffer this is a punishment from allah allah doesn't

[20:26]love them allah doesn't like them and that's why they say why

[20:29]did you allow my child to die you allah why why did

[20:32]you allow such a bad thing you don't love me you don't

[20:34]love my child a merciful you'll see many of them they will

[20:38]say many atheists a merciful god a good loving or loving god

[20:43]would never allow your child to die would never allow innocent human

[20:47]beings to die correct so they are assuming that when allah takes

[20:52]a loved one from you when allah allows suffering to happen to

[20:55]you allah hates you allah doesn't care about you allah has indifference

[20:59]about you is this true when we come to the hadith of

[21:03]ahlul bayt we see that this can't be any farther from the

[21:06]truth the exact opposite is the true it's not that when allah

[21:12]subhanahu wa ta'ala hates you he tries you the hadith tell us

[21:16]that when allah loves you he tries you if you want to

[21:21]know if allah loves someone look at his life does he have

[21:25]many problems many difficulties if he has many difficulties and many problems

[21:30]know that allah loves this individual and i'll read you a hadith

[21:34]the hadith of imam saddiq alaihis salam he says when allah loves

[21:44]someone a group he will what he will test them he will

[21:48]give them difficult tests and he will afflict them with problems and

[21:52]the other hadith the imam says when allah the imam says loves

[22:02]one of his creation one of his servants what does he do

[22:06]allah he immerses him in tribulations and trials and difficulties he immerses

[22:13]him he drowns him in problems and another hadith rasulullah sallallahu alaihi

[22:19]wa sallam he was asked who are the human beings that allah

[22:25]subhanahu wa ta'ala lets them suffer the most which human beings are

[22:29]they you would assume rasulullah would say the criminals the evildoers the

[22:34]valameen the oppressors allah he will try them the most difficult way

[22:40]no the hadith says rasulullah said the prophets of allah they're the

[22:50]ones that suffer the most in this world 124,000 prophets you think

[22:54]they had easy lives you think they found comfort you think they

[22:58]had the opportunity the chance to relax never most of them they

[23:02]lived in the worst worst you know conditions of poverty they could

[23:07]barely even find food to eat and they were messengers of allah

[23:10]they could easily ask allah to give them but if allah gives

[23:14]them doesn't mean it's gonna it means allah loves them no so

[23:19]you find that they many of them they live poverty they were

[23:22]bothered by their tribes they were tortured some of them some of

[23:26]them were killed we have prophets that were killed from many israel

[23:29]they live the worst condition look at rasulullah he says he had

[23:35]to flee for his life he had to leave mecca and go

[23:37]to medina and find a new house it's not easy to live

[23:42]in that way when you have your tribe your people they hate

[23:45]you they throw rocks at you they call you names they try

[23:48]to kill you they wage wars against you they kill your uncle

[23:51]they kill your sahaba you think it's an easy life that a

[23:55]prophet lives why doesn't allah love his prophets of course allah loves

[24:00]his prophets more than any other individual but we see the prophets

[24:04]they suffer the most because the prophet then says the prophets and

[24:12]then after the prophet who suffers more the ones that have the

[24:16]best iman the more iman you have the more allah will make

[24:21]you suffer the more allah will try you the harder your test

[24:25]will be the more iman you have he said he says the

[24:34]more iman you have the more good deeds you do the more

[24:37]difficult your life will be the more problems you will have and

[24:48]the lower your iman is the lower your amal are the lesser

[24:52]amal are the easier life will be for you allahu akbar do

[24:57]you see how when allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves someone he allows

[25:01]that person to suffer it's narrated that one day rasulullah he went

[25:06]to a house of someone he had invited him for lunch so

[25:10]as rasulullah entered rasulullah noticed that there is a wall in the

[25:16]courtyard there's a wall like a long fence and on that thin

[25:21]wall there was a chicken that was sitting on the wall as

[25:25]rasulullah entered that chicken had brought an egg that egg fell from

[25:31]the wall it tipped and there was a nail the hadith says

[25:35]sticking out of the wall a nail so the egg fell right

[25:41]on the nail now what should happen usually it's a soft egg

[25:45]and it's falling on a hard nail what should happen the egg

[25:48]should break right so the prophet noticed that the egg landed perfectly

[25:54]on the nail nothing happened to it and it didn't fall it

[25:56]just stayed there it landed perfectly on a thin nail subhanallah it

[26:01]kept its balance prophet looked it's not moving said subhanallah he was

[26:07]surprised so the man the owner of the house he said you

[26:10]rasoolallah don't be surprised why he said because i'm a very lucky

[26:15]man nothing bad ever happens to me i have such good luck

[26:18]that even if my egg falls on the nail it won't break

[26:22]nothing ever bad happens to me this is my good luck and

[26:25]then he tells the prophet i have never had a tragedy a

[26:32]problem a difficulty never do you know what the hadith says the

[26:37]hadith says rasulullah said this is how you are he says then

[26:41]forgive me i'm not going to come to your house to eat

[26:44]rasulullah left his house because rasulullah told him if someone does not

[26:50]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not allow him to suffer if someone

[26:54]has absolutely no problems in his life that means there's something wrong

[26:58]with this person the more allah loves you the more you're a

[27:02]great person the more iman you have the more lucky you are

[27:07]so if we find a person that he says allah never tries

[27:10]me i never have problems that means there's a problem with this

[27:13]person maybe allah doesn't love him maybe that person was a hypocrite

[27:17]rasulullah knew he was from the munafiqeen so he said if this

[27:20]is the case i don't even want to come into your house

[27:24]so he so you can know a person's iman based on how

[27:28]much problems and difficulties he has in his life the prophets the

[27:33]imams look at the imams what happened to them look at imam

[27:36]hussein alaihis salam look at the tragedy of karbala the imams they

[27:41]all live difficult lives so this is one of the signs that

[27:46]allah loves you the more problems and difficulties you face the more

[27:50]allah loves you it's not a punishment so this is the second

[27:54]point that we have to keep in mind number one we said

[27:56]what no one will live a problem free life everyone will be

[28:00]tried by allah because life is a test allah wants to see

[28:03]our true nature and character number two we said that allah subhanahu

[28:07]wa ta'ala the more he loves us the harder our tests will

[28:10]be the more difficulties we will face and number three the third

[28:14]point that we have to keep in mind is why why is

[28:19]it that when allah loves me he allows me to suffer it

[28:23]should be the other way around correct it should be the more

[28:26]allah loves me the more he allows me to be comfortable the

[28:30]more allah the more he gives me the more he spoils me

[28:34]shouldn't this be how it works so why is it the other

[28:37]way around why is it that when allah loves me he allows

[28:40]me to suffer now one reason we mentioned already is because life

[28:47]is a test and wants to test the nature the character of

[28:51]human beings so allah if he does not you know allow you

[28:56]to be tried and to face difficulties he won't know your stature

[29:00]he won't know allah not that he won't know allah swt knows

[29:03]but he wants to show and prove to the you know on

[29:06]the day of judgment that this person's position he deserves it so

[29:10]in addition to that that we already mentioned when we want to

[29:14]answer this question why is it that allah the more he loves

[29:18]me more he tries me the more difficult my test will be

[29:22]we have to first learn about the benefits of suffering you see

[29:28]we human beings don't like suffering we always want to be comfortable

[29:33]we want to live comfortable easy lives and we want to relax

[29:36]correct but the truth the unfortunate and bitter truth is that we

[29:42]human beings need suffering we human beings benefit from suffering the holy

[29:49]quran says and it may be that you hate something but it's

[29:57]good for you it may be that something you don't like but

[30:01]it's good for you we human beings we don't like suffering but

[30:04]there's lots of good and suffering and i'll mention some of the

[30:06]good some of the benefits that we reap from suffering number one

[30:11]why does allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allow us to suffer what's the

[30:14]point of problems and difficulties couldn't allah remove all difficulties and problems

[30:19]in life he could have yes reason number one allah he allows

[30:26]us to suffer because suffering and pain builds our character it makes

[30:33]our nafs strong you see if you want to build i ask

[30:38]you if you want to build your body you want to become

[30:41]strong you want to have muscles and a six pack what do

[30:44]you do do you go sit on the couch eat chips and

[30:49]watch tv the whole day will that make you strong the human

[30:53]beings love loves to relax right we love to always relax sit

[30:56]back and enjoy ourselves but if we do that if we become

[31:00]lazy and we just want to be comfortable the whole day and

[31:03]we want to relax eventually you're gonna see a huge stomach correct

[31:07]you're gonna become fat your health will be at risk because obesity

[31:11]causes so much what risks it causes for example heart problems cholesterol

[31:17]diabetes so on so forth if so you become lazy and you

[31:20]want to always be comfortable and you don't want to work out

[31:24]then what you're gonna be at risk you're gonna be weak you

[31:27]you know one one one punch and you'll fall down you can't

[31:30]fight anyone you can't defend yourself so if the human being wants

[31:34]to always relax the human being will be weak he'll be vulnerable

[31:38]everyone could what could defeat him everyone could beat him and he'll

[31:44]be at risk to many health issues if the human being wants

[31:48]to be strong he wants to develop those muscles what does he

[31:52]do you have to work you have to get up go to

[31:56]the gym you have to exercise you have to lift those weights

[32:00]you have to exert pressure on those muscles the more pressure you

[32:04]exert on the muscles the stronger it becomes subhanallah when you think

[32:10]about it when someone goes to a gym what is he really

[32:13]doing he's torturing himself you have to live in those difficult ways

[32:18]and then you have to run and you have to do this

[32:21]it's not easy that's why many people who are obese they want

[32:25]to lose weight they can't well tell them to go to the

[32:27]gym it's not easy it's torture for them it's torture for him

[32:30]to go on the treadmill and run he wants to relax sit

[32:33]on the couch and watch tv this is much much easier much

[32:36]much funner so in essence when you're working out you're torturing yourself

[32:40]but as they say if there is no pain there is no

[32:44]gain you want to become strong you have to go through pain

[32:47]you have to suffer suffering my friends in this world we see

[32:52]it with our bodies it makes our bodies stronger the same thing

[32:57]apply it to the nafs we have a body we have a

[33:01]nafs many of us we have a weak nafs our nafs is

[33:05]very very weak how do you make your nafs strong through difficulties

[33:12]when you endure life's difficulties the problems of life when you go

[33:16]through a sickness when you go through poverty when allah takes a

[33:21]loved one this all develops your nafs your character it makes your

[33:25]nafs so much stronger and that's why when you look at the

[33:28]great people that lived in this world read about the great people

[33:32]the legends the powerful kings and the presidents and the poets and

[33:39]the scientists that lived in this world know the great people that

[33:42]lived in this world most of them read their biography you'll always

[33:46]find a chapter a place in which it will tell you when

[33:49]they were younger they went through so much hardships don't think that

[33:53]you can become a great leader and you're pampered and spoiled your

[33:57]entire life no many of them they went to prison and they

[34:00]went through hardships they went through poverty were orphans their parents were

[34:04]killed they were abused they went through so much hardships until their

[34:09]character was strong it was built they became a leader you don't

[34:12]become a leader by just being so lazy and being comfortable and

[34:16]relaxing the entire time the more that you endure the more pain

[34:21]you see the stronger your character will be when you grow up

[34:26]so once again does allah allow us to suffer because he hates

[34:30]us no because he loves you he doesn't want you your nafs

[34:33]to be weak he wants your nafs to be strong the more

[34:37]he loves you the more he tries you because the more he

[34:39]wants your nafs to be strong for the day of judgment because

[34:42]this dunya is the body the day of judgment is the nafs

[34:45]if you have a weak nafs on the day of judgment you'll

[34:48]have a very difficult time allah wants to prepare you for the

[34:52]day of judgment he wants you to have a strong nafs how

[34:54]do you have a strong nafs you have to face the difficulties

[34:58]of life that's the only way that you'll develop your nafs so

[35:01]allah that's why the more he loves you the more he allows

[35:04]you to suffer he wants our nafs to develop in character that's

[35:08]number one number two why allah allows the suffering to happen many

[35:14]times we human beings we forget about the real goal of life

[35:19]allah brought us to this dunya why why did he bring us

[35:22]to this dunya what's the point of living in this dunya allah

[35:27]azzawajal he brought us to this dunya this dunya is a test

[35:31]our job is what is to accumulate good deeds stay away from

[35:34]sins and to please allah and then in the next life you

[35:38]settle you enjoy yourself many individuals they forget about the goal of

[35:43]life they get so indulged in the materialistic dunya they begin to

[35:47]drown in their sins they completely forget about allah they're completely lost

[35:53]brother sister allah brought you to this dunya so that you worship

[35:57]him so you do good deeds and you completely forget about your

[36:01]goal allah because they get so preoccupied by the dunya their business

[36:05]the money the dunya the nafs the shahawat and what it completely

[36:10]takes control over them they forget about everything else about allah about

[36:14]the next life allah when he sees his abid his servant he's

[36:20]lost he wants to bring him back how does he bring him

[36:23]back he'll send a friend that friend will tell him brother why

[36:26]don't you come to the husseiniyah why don't you come to the

[36:29]masjid what will i tell that brother i'm busy that's the most

[36:32]common excuse we use why don't we see more people in our

[36:36]masjid and our husayniyat we're too busy with our lives you don't

[36:41]even have time for allah subhanallah allah my creator i'm too busy

[36:45]for him he tells me come i tell him no thank you

[36:48]i'm busy i have other things more important things to do so

[36:51]allah he sends a friend we don't listen we say we're busy

[36:54]allah will what will give me good parents my father my mother

[36:57]will tell me come to the hussainia pray wear the hijab do

[37:00]this do that i ignore my parents allah tries so many ways

[37:04]to bring me he says he sees there's no use so in

[37:07]the end what does allah do he uses a what he uses

[37:12]pain and suffering to bring me back there is nothing my friends

[37:16]that moves the human being like pain and suffering when you see

[37:19]there are certain advocates for certain diseases you'll see famous person he's

[37:24]advocating for cancer for aids for a certain disease why why is

[37:29]he being so empathetic usually because he also had that same disease

[37:35]before because he felt that pain he suffered from this disease now

[37:39]that he knows how it feels he becomes so empathetic with others

[37:43]he wants others to be aware he doesn't want others to feel

[37:46]it there is nothing that moves the human being like pain so

[37:50]allah azza wa jal he may use a painful situation to grab

[37:54]your attention because i'm sleeping allah azza wa jal uses suffering to

[37:59]bring me back to grab my attention it's like an alarm clock

[38:02]that rings off it's a reminder that come back there is dunya

[38:07]there is dunya there is akhirah there is death there's a next

[38:11]life don't be so preoccupied in the dunya when do i realize

[38:14]that when a tragedy happens only then i wake up i went

[38:20]to a community once i read there a father came he told

[38:24]me sayyid no i try so hard to bring my son he

[38:28]doesn't come i have to put a fight with him every day

[38:31]he doesn't come for the lecture he doesn't want to so finally

[38:35]one night he forced his son he was maybe 17 18 he

[38:39]was 18 years old he forced him to come he came or

[38:43]he pressured him to come i sat with him he told me

[38:47]sit down with him speak to him maybe you know he could

[38:50]change because he doesn't he's not interested in religion doesn't want to

[38:54]come to listen to the lectures so i sat with him i

[38:57]spoke to him i saw there's no point he's not interested he's

[38:59]not even listening he doesn't care he had the hardest you know

[39:04]the hardest job for the father was to bring his child his

[39:07]son to the majlis he only came one he never showed up

[39:12]this is what this is the year that i want subhanallah next

[39:16]year i came to the same place i gave lectures at the

[39:19]same place i saw the first person that comes to the majlis

[39:23]is that young guy that i saw last year that he was

[39:26]not willing to come a single night and he had caused so

[39:28]much pain for his father he's the first one this year to

[39:32]come to the majlis he's there the entire majlis he listens he

[39:36]takes notes he comes he asks me questions he's the last one

[39:38]to leave subhanallah what happened why did he transform why did he

[39:44]suddenly transform this one year i knew something happened last year he

[39:47]did not even want to come one night and to him the

[39:49]usainiyah was the most boring thing this year he's the most person

[39:53]excited about the lectures about the majalis what happened so i asked

[39:58]him i told him remember last year you didn't even want to

[40:01]come you weren't interested why all of a sudden you're so excited

[40:04]and interested he said sayidna because i learned my lesson the hard

[40:08]way because i went through a tragedy and i woke up i

[40:12]was sleeping all those years i thought this dunya the shnefs the

[40:16]shahawat the fun the entertainment my friends and my car i thought

[40:20]this was you know the best life until one day i was

[40:24]driving with my friend my best friend who i grew up with

[40:27]i loved so much my best best friend we're driving or listening

[40:31]to music the music is so loud and i'm driving too fast

[40:35]on the freeway all of a sudden there's an accident big accident

[40:38]he says alhamdulillah nothing really happened to me just a broken arm

[40:42]but he said my friend he was hurt he was hurt very

[40:47]bad he went into a coma and after a few weeks he

[40:50]died he says when my friend who was my age who i

[40:53]grew up with i saw my friend he's same age as mine

[40:56]he died i woke up i said i could die too subhanallah

[41:00]death came so close to me i could have died he said

[41:03]that tragedy it woke me up now i turn to allah unfortunately

[41:09]sometimes we have to learn the hard way allah tries to bring

[41:12]me we don't pay attention we're sleeping we're in another world allah

[41:17]because he loves me because he doesn't want me to go deviate

[41:20]and drown in the dunya the only way for him to wake

[41:24]me up is to take a loved one when a loved one

[41:26]dies this tragedy shocks me i wake up there is nothing that

[41:32]will change the human being and move him like tragedies like difficulties

[41:37]allah uses that it's like a wake up call he uses that

[41:40]as a reminder to bring me back so he loves me he

[41:43]doesn't hate me when he does that he loves me there's no

[41:46]other way i've closed all the other doors that's the only way

[41:49]that he can bring me that's why when you read in the

[41:53]hadith one of the beautiful hadith of rasulullah he says he says

[42:08]if it wasn't for these three things three ways that allah tries

[42:12]the human being three ways that we suffer the human being would

[42:16]have never brought his head down he would have been so arrogant

[42:19]so preoccupied with the dunya he says number one number one sickness

[42:25]when you see the human being who's so arrogant he becomes sick

[42:28]subhanallah he starts behaving especially if it's a you know a sickness

[42:34]that's hard to cure if it's a fatal disease a fatal sickness

[42:39]all of a sudden he turns to allah if they come and

[42:41]tell someone anyone who's not practicing you have cancer and you'll die

[42:45]in six months right away he'll become so holy and turn to

[42:48]allah that's the only way in which the human beings goes back

[42:51]to his lord and becomes humble number one he says al marav

[42:55]number two al fakr poverty when allah uses poverty sometimes the human

[43:00]being reaches a low level of poverty he brings his head down

[43:06]he becomes so humble to allah that i the human being who

[43:10]can become so arrogant sometimes i can't even find food to feed

[43:13]myself and number three al maut the prophet says death the human

[43:18]being knows no matter how much he wants to live much how

[43:21]much money he wants to accumulate no matter how arrogant he thinks

[43:26]how great he thinks he is one day he'll die and he'll

[43:30]be placed in that grave just like everyone else so when the

[43:34]human being knows that there is sickness is poverty there is death

[43:39]he's always reminded of his lord of the next life of the

[43:42]grave if it wasn't for these three things and we always lived

[43:47]comfortably who would have thought about allah no one would turn to

[43:50]allah because when we're comfortable we forget about allah only when we

[43:54]need him we go to him allah wants us to always he

[43:58]wants us to always turn towards him so what does he do

[44:02]of course he has to play suffering in the dunya if there's

[44:05]no suffering we're gonna be sleeping the entire dunya so this is

[44:10]what this is number two we said number one was what allah

[44:13]azzawajal he wants to build our nafs through suffering number two we

[44:17]said what was number two number two is that he wants to

[44:20]grab my attention he wants to direct me he wants me to

[44:23]wake up nothing is useful nothing works except a tragedy except a

[44:29]difficulty except something a way in which i suffer and feel pain

[44:34]this is number two and number three the third way in which

[44:38]the third reason or the third way in which i benefit from

[44:41]suffering is that allah uses suffering to purify us he loves you

[44:48]when he when allows suffering to happen we shouldn't say why does

[44:52]allah allow this because he loves you why because allah sometimes he

[44:55]wants to purify you how is anyone here maasoon infallible every one

[45:02]of us here we commit haram we commit sins correct we sometimes

[45:07]oppress other people we are unjust with other people aren't we sometimes

[45:12]we commit so many sins allah has just i mentioned in the

[45:16]first lecture on the day of judgment he will hold everyone accountable

[45:19]for oppression vulum for any haram any sin that we did and

[45:24]allah azzawajal he will punish anyone that did vulum that did injustice

[45:29]in this world that was oppressed that did haram now can we

[45:33]bear can we bear can we handle the adab the punishment of

[45:38]allah on the day of judgment we can't handle it because the

[45:43]punishment of allah on the day of judgment is too severe amir

[45:48]al mu'mineen he says in one of his khutab no human being

[45:52]oh human being that your skin has absolutely no patience in front

[45:57]of the fire of allah don't think that you can take you

[46:05]can handle the fires of hell of allah because your skin cannot

[46:10]handle it the punishment of allah and the akhirah is too severe

[46:14]so because of allah's mercy he knows you've committed sins you've done

[46:19]haram you've done injustice oppression he purifies you in this world so

[46:24]that when you leave this world you leave clean pure so that

[46:27]he doesn't have to pure he doesn't have to punish you in

[46:29]the akhirah if he punishes you in the dunya you're clean in

[46:33]the akhirah and the punishment of dunya is so much easier to

[46:37]endure than the punishment on the akhirah isn't it if they ask

[46:40]you you've done haram you have one of two choices either allah

[46:44]will punish you in the dunya through poverty through sickness through disease

[46:48]through all these ways that we suffer or live a comfortable life

[46:53]and then in the akhirah allah will put you in the fires

[46:55]of hell which one will you choose everyone will choose in the

[46:58]dunya because it's no match it's not compared look at what imam

[47:02]ali alaihis salam says in dua al kumail we always read this

[47:05]every thursday night he says so beautifully you allah you know that

[47:33]i the weak human being i have no patience towards the suffering

[47:37]of the dunya even the dunya we have no patience we can't

[47:40]endure the suffering of the dunya and then the imam says after

[47:44]that the imam tells allah you allah you know i have no

[48:02]patience towards the suffering of the dunya so how will i have

[48:07]patience towards the suffering of the akhara the imam says the suffering

[48:11]of the dunya is so limited it's so small it's not severe

[48:16]while the suffering of the akhara the punishment of al akhara of

[48:19]jar jahannam is severe it's long and it's very difficult so if

[48:24]i can't handle the dunya's punishment you expect me to handle the

[48:29]punishment of the akhirah allah azzawajal out of his mercy he wants

[48:33]to punish you in the dunya so you go clean to the

[48:36]akhirah so you don't have to see the fires of hell that's

[48:40]from his mercy and we have many hadith about that that allah

[48:44]how does he purify a mu'min when i have sins he purifies

[48:49]you through suffering in the dunya you'll catch a cold why because

[48:54]yesterday you insulted the mu'min so now allah says instead of waiting

[48:59]till the akhirah and in the akhirah it's difficult severe right now

[49:03]you'll catch a cold i will afflict you with a disease i'll

[49:06]take from your money you'll lose from your money you'll live a

[49:09]life of poverty you'll have a problem in your family why does

[49:13]allah try you with all of these problems to purify you so

[49:16]that you go clean to him and i'll read you likewise this

[49:19]beautiful hadith that's narrated from allah it's a hadith qudsi the hadith

[49:24]says that allah says he says that when i find a mu'min

[49:40]that i love what do i do to him when allah azza

[49:45]wa jal loves a mu'min he says that i try to purify

[49:49]him so that when he leaves the dunya he leaves pure how

[49:53]does allah purify us the hadith says through diseases through sicknesses and

[50:03]illnesses allah even the mu'min he will what he will afflict him

[50:08]with diseases and sicknesses and illnesses to purify him there's one hadith

[50:12]from the prophet that says that if you sleep one night with

[50:18]favor allah will erase one year of sins for you because you're

[50:22]what because you're suffering don't think that this suffering will go free

[50:26]just like that that when you sleep one night with fever allah

[50:30]will erase one year of bad deeds for you so when allah

[50:36]afflicts someone with fever is it because he hates him or is

[50:38]it because he loves him because he loves him because he doesn't

[50:42]want to postpone it to the akhirah so the hadith allah says

[50:47]either through a disease or sickness or i will what i will

[50:55]take from his money i will let him live a life of

[50:58]poverty because he's done so many sins i want to erase those

[51:01]sins so i what so i let him live poverty suffer through

[51:04]poverty so that his sins go away or he will live with

[51:11]fear he live in a country where the government oppresses him he

[51:14]live somewhere where he has to live in fear so all the

[51:18]suffering that the human being that the mu'min goes through allah is

[51:23]using it to erase his sins so it's because of the mercy

[51:26]of allah that allah allows me to suffer in the dunya it's

[51:31]not because he hates me and then the hadith says he says

[51:39]if anything remains sins if that was not enough then when he's

[51:43]dying i'll make it a painful death for him why because i

[51:47]want to make sure that every sin is cleaned before he dies

[51:51]so that when he dies he dies pure he won't be held

[51:55]accountable for anything anymore because he already was punished in the duniya

[51:58]so it's because of the rahma of allah that what that he

[52:02]brings that he purifies me in the dunya and that i suffer

[52:06]in the dunya it's not because he hates me and then in

[52:08]the hadith allah says when i when i want to what when

[52:12]i want to punish someone allah says when i want to punish

[52:16]someone because he's he's a hypocrite he's a kafir he's a valim

[52:19]whatever you know what i do allah says in the hadith that

[52:22]i allow him to live the most comfortable life i give him

[52:26]so much money i give him health i give him what i

[52:29]give him a society in which he lives peacefully there's there's freedom

[52:34]there is peace there is security i allow him to live the

[52:38]best dunya why so that none of his sins are erased i

[52:41]want to postpone them to the akhha so when i do a

[52:45]sin i either have to pay for it now or in the

[52:48]next life that's of course if i don't repent the mu'min allah

[52:52]wants him to pay for it in the dunya because the dunya

[52:55]is so easy the punishment and the suffering of the dunya is

[52:57]nothing with a kafir with a balim with a hypocrite allah azzawajal

[53:02]he postpones it to the next life because that's where it's severe

[53:05]and he lived a life that's comfortable so this is reason number

[53:11]what number three why allah allows us to suffer in the dunya

[53:16]and finally and we will end with this and finally the fourth

[53:21]reason or the fourth benefit to our suffering is that allah will

[53:27]reward us for suffering like i mentioned don't think that any way

[53:31]that we suffer any suffering that goes any pain that we feel

[53:35]will go unaccounted for no allah azzawajal he will reimburse us he

[53:40]will compensate us he will reward us for any pain that we

[53:43]have in the dunya let me read you a few hadith what

[53:46]the imams tell us about the reward of suffering if you suffer

[53:50]in this dunya the reward is so great one of the narrators

[53:54]by the name of asaba ibn asayyab he asks al imam musaddiq

[54:01]alaihis salam one day he asked him he says is all the

[54:08]suffering that we see when a mu'min suffers is it because he

[54:12]did something haram is it always like that the imam says no

[54:16]he says lah so why then allah allows the mu'min to suffer

[54:19]even a mu'min who does not commit sins allah allows him to

[54:22]suffer we said the prophets they suffer the most so why so

[54:24]if it's to purify the mu'min then what if a mu'min doesn't

[54:28]have sins why is allah allowing the prophet to suffer he has

[54:31]no sins so what is he purifying listen to what the imam

[54:35]says he says so that when the human being suffers allah loves

[54:43]to hear the voice of the human being when he cries for

[54:46]help allah allows the mu'min to suffer because allah writes good deeds

[55:02]for him allah writes reward for him allah wants to reward you

[55:06]so how does he reward you he rewards you by allowing you

[55:09]to suffer there's a great amount of reward for suffering for bala

[55:14]listen to this beautiful hadith for imam asadab he says if the

[55:30]mu'min knew how much reward there is for difficulties for suffering he

[55:35]will wish that allah cuts him up into pieces because it's so

[55:40]worth it that on the day of judgment when allah resurrects me

[55:44]he shows me an unimaginable amount of reward he says this is

[55:48]for you i tell him why allah he says because you suffered

[55:51]in the dunya and i'm giving you this unimaginable amount of reward

[55:55]the human being says subhanallah this much reward for just that one

[56:00]night that i slept hungry that i had a cold that i

[56:03]had a fever that i had a sickness he will wish his

[56:06]entire life he would have suffered it's worth it the reward is

[56:10]so great and listen to this hadith from the imam he says

[56:17]when allah he what afflicts me with a problem and i suffer

[56:25]and then i have patience i don't go and complain to allah

[56:28]and i become an atheist why does allah allow this no i

[56:31]have patience i accept the will of allah azzawajal what will allah

[56:35]give me the imam says when you have patience towards the suffering

[56:45]that you see if you're suffering and you're patient allah gives you

[56:49]the reward of 1,000 shaheed 1,000 martyrs allahu akbaru allahi it's worth

[56:55]it my friends the the reward is so great and then listen

[56:59]to this beautiful hadith the fifth imam he says in the hadith

[57:10]he says if one night you can't sleep because you have pain

[57:14]because you have a cold because you have fever that is the

[57:18]reward for that pain that suffered suffering that you have is greater

[57:22]than worshiping allah one year an entire year and another hadith sixty

[57:29]years so all of this highlights my friends that the suffering that

[57:35]we see that we feel allah will give us an unimaginable reward

[57:39]for it imagine they tell you if you sleep one night with

[57:43]a fever we'll give you for each night $50,000 i think everyone

[57:49]will wish that they have fevers because every night that you sleep

[57:52]with a fever even though it's difficult you'll get $50,000 people will

[57:56]wish there they have a fever their entire lives and what's $50,000

[58:00]what's the money of the dunya this is the tawab of allah

[58:03]and the akhirah wallahi on the day of judgment we will wish

[58:07]that we suffered more in the dunya because of the great reward

[58:10]that we'll miss out on and that's why amir al mumineen he

[58:15]says in about the muttaqeen he says about them yes the mu'mineen

[58:23]the muttaqeen the pious ones they have patience in the dunya because

[58:26]it's difficult but the dunya is so short it will end so

[58:29]quickly but then they relaxed and they found comfort for eternity the

[58:41]imam says suffer a few years and then for the rest of

[58:44]eternity you'll be comfortable in the akhirah you will relax there'll be

[58:48]no pain there'll be no suffering in the next life and that's

[58:53]why when you come to imam al hussain alaihi salaam you see

[58:56]all the tragedies that he faced on the day of ashura one

[59:00]truly wonders how did imam hussein bear all those tragedies how did

[59:05]imam hussein cope with them because the tragedies of the day of

[59:09]ashura had no match we read in the poem about abdullah we

[59:18]tell him your tragedy on the day of ashura it made us

[59:21]forget about all other tragedies because they're nothing compared to his tragedy

[59:33]and it made our future problems and tragedies it made them so

[59:37]easy nothing any tragedy that i have any suffering i feel just

[59:42]remember hussein hussein suffered more than you so thus my tragedy becomes

[59:48]easy because i say imam hussein suffered 10 times more than me

[59:53]a thousand times more than me it's not easy my friends for

[59:56]someone with the soft heart of abba abdullah with a merciful heart

[60:00]like abba abdullah al hussein who's merciful even with his enemies it's

[60:05]not easy for him to endure seeing his six month old baby

[60:09]being killed right in his hands you think that's easy which father

[60:13]has that heart even if you're a cold blooded human being no

[60:18]one has the heart to see his baby being killed in his

[60:20]hands especially if it was abba abdullah's heart it was all mercy

[60:25]it was all compassion it was so soft how did abba abdullah

[60:29]al hussein face all of that how did imam hussein how did

[60:33]imam hussein bear all that tragedies all those tragedies how was he

[60:39]so defiantly resilient a mountain wallahi could not face the tragedies that

[60:44]abba abdullah faced when he saw his children being butchered like animals

[60:49]in front of him how did he have the power the ability

[60:53]to cope with all of that one truly wonders the hadith of

[60:57]imam zainul abideen alaihis salam sheikh saddouq narrates it he says on

[61:01]the day of ashura the worse the conditions got for my father

[61:06]hussein the worse the conditions got for abba abdullah al hussein the

[61:13]more his family members would be killed the more energy he would

[61:16]lose the stronger he would become the more resilient he would become

[61:21]the more his face would light up and illuminate and the more

[61:26]he would relax the more comfortable he would be the more calm

[61:30]he would be allahu akbar when you see someone the more tragedies

[61:34]that happen the more he loses hope the more he breaks down

[61:39]abba abdullah al hussein on the day of ashura the more he

[61:41]saw tragedies this is imam zainul abideen he says the more tragedies

[61:45]he faced the stronger he became the more resilient he became the

[61:50]larger his smile got allahu akbar how did he have so much

[61:54]patience how hamid ibn muslim one of the narrators he says that

[61:59]i saw abba abdullah al hussain in those last moments before he

[62:03]killed him he said hameed ibn muslim says on the day of

[62:26]ashura before hussein was killed he says wallahi i had never seen

[62:30]someone who was so overwhelmed outnumbered between the enemies his family members

[62:35]killed a few minutes ago his companions killed he's overwhelmed they're throwing

[62:39]spears at him but yet he's so courageous yet he's so resilient

[62:44]yet he's so determined how what is he is he a human

[62:49]being he has this much power this much ability to cope with

[62:52]the tragedies that imam zainul abidin alaihis salam said that they used

[62:56]to see aba abdullah so powerful so strong so resilient they used

[63:01]to say he does not afraid of death how was abba abdullah

[63:08]al hussein so strong in front of the suffering that he was

[63:11]facing how some of us we break so fast we begin we

[63:14]become atheists we want to commit suicide we have no patience how

[63:18]was abba abdullah al hussein so strong till the last second he

[63:22]was only thinking about allah he was so strong and defiant he

[63:26]was so resilient how do you know how he himself he says

[63:32]after they killed his six month old baby and he took the

[63:35]blood and he threw it towards the sky what did he say

[63:38]he said he says gives me consolation what gives me patience it's

[63:48]not easy imam hussain was a human being no human being can

[63:52]endure all those calamities and tragedies he says what gives me patience

[63:59]is that allah is seeing all of this injustice what gives me

[64:03]patience is allah is seeing everything it won't go away it won't

[64:07]be forgotten just go away like that no allah will reimburse me

[64:12]he will compensate me he will what he will bring my enemies

[64:15]and he will punish them as long as allah is watching out

[64:19]that's it imam hussein could relax because allah has his patron allah

[64:23]has his supporter allah has his defender allah won't let this go

[64:27]allah will avenge abba abdullah al hussein and that's why likewise before

[64:32]he was going to the battlefield he want to say salaam he

[64:36]went to say farewell to zainab to his sister kulthum to his

[64:40]daughter sukaina to his nieces to all the women before he went

[64:44]and fought all by himself they were crying and wailing aba abdullah

[64:49]who will we have after you the imam told them yes you

[64:52]will suffer after me yes they will even take you as slaves

[64:55]but then he told them have patience because allah is watching out

[64:59]for you allah will reimburse you allah will give you great amount

[65:03]of tawab he wanted them to calm down that when you think

[65:06]allah is there for you that's it nothing else matters abba abdullah

[65:10]al hussein when he knows allah is there for him his love

[65:13]for allah it will remove any pain pain for allah is nothing

[65:20]he won't even feel it that's why the poet says this was

[65:23]how abba abdullah al hussein was on the day of ashura he

[65:38]tells him you allah if i've orphaned my children i widowed my

[65:43]wife i left everything i sacrificed my children my companions even if

[65:48]you were to cut me into pieces wallahi i will not stop

[65:51]loving you you allah if i suffer for allah then the suffering

[65:55]will become easy because it's for allah it was the day of

[65:59]ashura imam hussein alaihis salaam he came to farewell the woman he

[66:04]came to farewell them because there were no supporters left abu abdullah

[66:09]al hussein he had to go on a mountain on the hill

[66:12]in the desert of karbala and he had to cry out for

[66:15]help he cried out allah is there no one that wants to

[66:31]defend abba abdullah he was all alone abbas was killed ali al

[66:35]akbar qasim habib ibn mudahir muslim ibn ausaja he was all alone

[66:40]he had to go and call the enemies to help him he

[66:44]cried out for help the mother of his little baby abdullahi radiya

[66:49]rabbah she says wallahi when abba abdullah made that call when he

[66:53]said is there anyone that will help me is there anyone that

[66:56]wants to protect me she says this young baby who was so

[67:00]thirsty couldn't move he took his hands out of the swaddle as

[67:05]if he's telling his father hussein you have one soldier left i'm

[67:09]still here for you maybe i can't defend you maybe i can't

[67:13]fight for you but i am your last soldier abba abdullah allahu

[67:17]akbar abdullah har razee is the hero of karbala imam hussein is

[67:22]like a gardener he's picking these beautiful flowers the shuhada and after

[67:27]he finishes all the companions all the sacrifices he looks for a

[67:32]final small flower to crown the bundle of flowers with that small

[67:37]flower is abdullahi his six month old baby he came to farewell

[67:42]the woman a sister zainab told him my dear brother hussein before

[67:47]you go and fight please take this little baby of yours to

[67:55]the enemies ask them for water his mother has no more milk

[68:07]to give him imam hussein took his little baby six month old

[68:12]baby i'm sure if there are any fathers they know they have

[68:15]small children they know how much they love their children he looked

[68:19]at his little baby he saw that this baby could no longer

[68:22]move he had no energy he was dying of thirst all he

[68:28]was doing he was making small noises moaning he could not even

[68:32]cry he had absolutely no energy imam hussain took his little baby

[68:39]and he went to the enemies you killed all my men you

[68:55]killed all my companions this is the only child i have left

[69:01]allahu akbar his mother has no milk she has no milk to

[69:09]give him take him and give him some water the enemies an

[69:18]argument broke out some of them said let's give him some water

[69:22]he's only a baby others they said no deprive even their children

[69:27]all the sudden umar ibn saad he looked told he told them

[69:31]and the debate and the argument all of a sudden as abba

[69:42]abdullah was waiting for the water for his little baby he saw

[69:47]instead a three headed arrow came and pierced the neck of abdullah

[69:53]and imam hussain took the holy blood of his baby and he

[70:44]threw it towards the sky and he said what gives me patience

[70:53]is that allah is looking allah is seeing all of this injustice

[70:57]now imam hussein how could he go back bring this baby to

[71:01]his mother how could he bring him back to the tent he

[71:04]went back who came to greet him sukaina my dear father hussain

[71:08]did you feed my brother abdullah water did you give him water

[71:11]and you brought me water too he told her my dear daughter
