[1:23][Music] we send our apostles with clear arguments and sent down with

[1:42]them the book and the balance that men may conduct themselves with

[1:46]equity and we have made iron we have made the iron wherein

[1:49]is great violence and advantages to men and that allah may know

[1:55]who helps him and his apostles in secret surely allah is strong

[1:59]and mighty just to brief recap last night we discussed the affairs

[2:08]or the state of the world before the advent of imam zaman

[2:12]ali very briefly we discussed the struggle between good and evil the

[2:18]struggle between the supporters of allah and the supporters of shaytan the

[2:23]struggle between those trying to establish the kingdom or the state of

[2:28]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and those trying to prevent this and we

[2:34]explain the types of corruption we very briefly touched on the types

[2:39]of corruption that would fill the earth and we explained that imam

[2:44]al-hidjah sharif the imam would be the solution to mankind's problems and

[2:51]tonight inshaallah because what we said last night in conclusion was that

[2:57]only the government of imam al-mahdi alayhi could provide the solutions to

[3:04]mankind's problems only the government of al-muhammad alayhim as imam al-baqarah describes

[3:10]the government of imam mahdi he refers to it as our government

[3:16]the government of ahlulbayt referring to the government of imam al-mahdi refers

[3:23]to it as our government the government of muhammad we said that

[3:30]this is the only solution and that mankind will reach a point

[3:33]where it is mankind itself that gives up on all the solutions

[3:40]of this earth and looks to allah azzawajal and demands this form

[3:45]of government our discussion tonight inshaallah is if if we are claiming

[3:51]that the solution is the government of imam al-mahdi alaihis is islam

[3:58]a religion of government or not the concept of a religious state

[4:08]is it an islamic concept is that a concept touched upon in

[4:14]the holy quran has the messenger of allah ali promoted this did

[4:19]our imam salam allah present islam in such a manner do our

[4:26]approach islam in this manner or not before we answer this question

[4:32]we're going to touch on the meaning of the term government in

[4:40]western philosophy the term government is means it is the action or

[4:49]manner of controlling or regulating a state an organization or people and

[4:54]the organization of the affairs of the people through legislation and law

[5:01]there are many different definitions and they all swim around the same

[5:08]concept that the meaning of a government is a body or an

[5:15]entity or a group of people or an establishment which has authority

[5:19]and is entrusted with organizing the affairs of the people all of

[5:29]their affairs we see here living here in in australia for example

[5:35]if you and i wanted to build a house and this house

[5:43]needs a plot of land and we have purchased a plot of

[5:47]land and then we decided that on this land we're going to

[5:48]build a house even though in your mind this is a personal

[5:54]affair i have purchased this land with my own money and i

[5:58]will be building this house with my own money there is no

[6:02]way that you can carry out this construction authority from your local

[6:09]government correct this government will tax you this government will also provide

[6:16]for you the essentials for living it will provide gas and electricity

[6:19]and water so that this house is functional correct this government will

[6:25]also organize the collection of your rubbish it organizes our healthcare our

[6:28]education our domestic policies our financial policies our foreign policy our military

[6:38]policy the government is entrusted in all of our affairs and at

[6:42]some points these particular governments transgress and get involved in the most

[6:47]personal of our affairs does islam present such a government does islam

[7:00]entrust a body a person an individual or a group of individuals

[7:05]with running the affairs of the people before we touch on the

[7:12]verse that we just recited in shia thought we as imamiya is

[7:23]split into three camps there are three opinions regarding the issue of

[7:32]religious government and all three are respectable opinions and they are opinions

[7:35]of our the first opinion is that in the absence of the

[7:44]infallible islam has no role in governing the affairs of the people

[7:56]there is no islamic government governance is strictly in the time of

[8:01]the muscle this is the first opinion and those who hold this

[8:09]first opinion demand that people need to be governed at the end

[8:14]of the day true otherwise we'd live in chaos we'd be living

[8:19]in a jungle even the jungle has rules even in the animal

[8:24]kingdom there are rules but we as human beings we demand a

[8:29]form of governance in our lives our affairs need to be tendent

[8:35]too so even this group of scholars who are of their opinion

[8:41]that in the absence of the infallible there is no government and

[8:46]islam has no role of government they say that we as muslims

[8:49]we must hold on to a secular government and be law-abiding citizens

[8:56]in a secular government whichever secular government is just the second opinion

[9:06]is that no in the time of the ma'assum and outside of

[9:14]the time of the muslim islam has a role this second opinion

[9:22]says yes islam has no government outside of the era of the

[9:32]muslim however as muslims it is our obligation to hold on to

[9:37]a secular government which respects islamic values for example we can use

[9:46]iraq today iraq is a majority muslim nation and the majority of

[9:55]muslims there adhere to the motherhood although there is a large minority

[10:02]of our sunni brothers and sisters that live in iraq and there

[10:06]are christians and there are sabians and there are yazidis and there

[10:09]are so many different sects of of kitab and outside of kitab

[10:17]however the majority the overwhelming majority of iraqis are muslim and the

[10:23]overwhelming majority of these muslims adhere to the madhhab of bay they

[10:30]are if say that yes that the majority of them are of

[10:43]the opinion that because the maasum is not present this does not

[10:49]mean we go to a completely secular government nor does it mean

[10:53]we establish a purely islamic government so the opinion of these fukaha

[11:05]is that we adhere to a secular government a humanitarian government which

[11:13]respects the values of islam for example there are particular areas of

[11:21]iraq where alcohol is illegal where bars and nightclubs are illegal where

[11:29]it is uncommon to see a modest dress codes the meat which

[11:42]is given out in iraq which is sold in the streets and

[11:44]in the markets of iraq and in the butchers of iraq need

[11:49]to be halal the quran has a role in the constitution of

[11:54]iraq the marja has a role in the constitution of iraq and

[11:58]we have seen this in recent years when iraq was fighting its

[12:04]war against terror it is the marja's of the motherhood of that

[12:09]stepped in and saved iraq and the region from these terrorist organizations

[12:18]with their divine fatwa we see the politicians flocking to the marja's

[12:24]for advice flocking to the marja for approval so these are of

[12:36]this opinion that in the absence of we have a state a

[12:40]secular state but in the under one condition that this secular state

[12:45]respects the tenants of islam the third opinion the third opinion is

[12:59]that no islam is a religion of government during the era of

[13:06]the maasam and in every other era whether the maasum is present

[13:14]or not islam is a religion of governance islam has its own

[13:20]political system islam has its own social system it has its own

[13:23]economical system it has its own military system islam has its own

[13:30]policies its own judiciary therefore islam as a whole must be implemented

[13:37]during the time of the nation outside of the time of the

[13:41]muslim this is the third opinion and the modern example that we

[13:47]have today is the islamic republic in conclusion when we take these

[13:57]three opinions these three opinions although they differ on one side they

[14:05]agree on one common principle that at the time of islam is

[14:10]a religion of government all three of them agree with this all

[14:15]three agree that at the time where there is an infallible present

[14:20]islam is the law of the land islam runs the state of

[14:29]affairs the affairs of the people at every level socially economically religiously

[14:32]jurispudentially from a judicial level on every level islam has an answer

[14:43]and this brings us to the verse that we open up with

[14:46]in surat al hadid and we'll recap this verse allah azzawajal he

[14:53]starts off by saying rasulallah is putting out the mission statement of

[15:05]the prophets of the books that he has the divine books he

[15:10]has revealed to the messengers over the centuries and centuries he says

[15:17]certainly we sent our apostles with clear arguments and sent down with

[15:22]them the book and the balance that men may conduct themselves with

[15:30]equity so allah azzawajal is telling you i did not reveal these

[15:33]books for your entertainment i did not reveal these books just so

[15:38]you can find serenity in them no i sent these messengers and

[15:46]these books and i sent with them al mizan so that mankind

[15:54]can rule with equity justice needs to be the outcome these prophets

[16:01]in these books came with law and the aim of this law

[16:08]is divine justice and the author of these laws is the divine

[16:11]himself this is allah azzawajal speaking not me so allah subhanahu wa

[16:21]ta'ala is telling us that the main reason i have revealed these

[16:27]books and the main reason i have sent these messengers is i

[16:33]am sending down a doctrine a philosophy a law a government so

[16:40]that a government may be established and this government its aim is

[16:45]to rule by the book of allah azzawajal and to establish equity

[16:51]and justice and had there been any other method for establishing equity

[16:57]and justice allah azzawajal in his wisdom would have informed us he

[17:03]would not have sent 124 000 prophets to bring down their books

[17:10]and go through that hardship and a great number of them were

[17:16]killed and murdered along with their families and children including our holy

[17:18]messenger so the concept of government in the holy quran is established

[17:28]more than that allah a strange turn takes in this verse so

[17:36]on one one point he is speaking about the messengers and the

[17:41]books and that they have been revealed to establish so that men

[17:44]can rule one another with equity and then allah says something very

[17:52]strange he changes topics completely also it appears he says [Music] [Music]

[18:13]after saying that he has sent his messengers with these laws in

[18:18]these books so that equity may be established between people then allah

[18:23]subhanahu wa says and we have brought down the iron iron you

[18:29]know what iron is it's a metal what's iron got to do

[18:35]with anything one minute allah azzawajal is talking about messengers and the

[18:40]and the divine books and ruling by justice and then allah switches

[18:46]and begins talking about ayan and he says that this iron in

[18:51]it is great violence and advantages to men and that allah may

[18:58]know who helps him and his apostles in the secret surely allah

[19:01]is strong almighty without going into a tafsiri discussion because of time's

[19:06]sake according to some of our mufassirin why allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala mentions

[19:17]ayan in this verse and why he starts off by mentioning that

[19:21]iron through iron there is great violence and there is also great

[19:28]benefit to human beings iron is a symbol of strength it is

[19:38]a symbol of strength and enforcing because remember at the time the

[19:45]quran is revealed the great militaries of the world depended heavily on

[19:53]iron for their weaponry almost all of their weapons were made out

[19:59]of iron their swords their spearheads their arrowheads the more iron a

[20:07]nation possessed the stronger its military was it is a symbol of

[20:10]force it is a symbol of might so some of our mufassirin

[20:16]have come and they've said that allah mentions i and here and

[20:22]mentions the wrath of iron and the violence that ayan can create

[20:26]because allah wants to emphasize the importance of enforcing these books and

[20:34]enforcing this justice and equity allah azzawajal is making a point here

[20:40]he's telling yes through iron there is a form of violence however

[20:44]also through this iron and through enforcing these laws of allah azzawajal

[20:48]and enforcing and establishing the government of justice and equity there is

[20:53]great benefit to men and this is something that sometimes we try

[21:02]to sidestep but i'll touch on inshallah and continue because it's very

[21:04]important to understand this and some people are uncomfortable talking about particular

[21:13]situations but islam has a very firm stance on violence okay we

[21:17]are not a passive religion no nor are we an aggressive religion

[21:23]we are not a religion that will sit back and allow our

[21:27]enemy to take from us and trample on us and spread their

[21:31]corruption and follow this silly dogma of turn the other cheek nor

[21:38]are we the type of religion that is commanded to oppress and

[21:44]subjugate others and trample on their rights and steal their lands no

[21:52]islam is the religion of allah the most wise because he is

[22:01]the creator of this creation and he understands man allah azzawajal knows

[22:09]that in order for mankind to prevent or slow down the spread

[22:15]of aggression and corruption and tyranny they need to be allowed to

[22:24]defend themselves and take up iron this is a logical religion this

[22:28]makes sense this is the religion of humanity and allah is very

[22:32]clear he says had we not permitted this then the transgressors would

[22:35]overcome the earth tyrants would overcome the earth and subjugate its people

[22:42]if good men do not stand up against them standing up against

[22:54]tyranny is not terrorism being passive in the face of tyranny is

[22:58]terrorism in our philosophy without getting on into a philosophical debate evil

[23:10]is not an independent existence evil does not exist on itself rather

[23:20]evil we refer to it as adami yeah it only exists where

[23:28]goodness does not exist it fills that void meaning evil is the

[23:34]lack of good where good does not exist this is what we

[23:37]call evil so in our philosophy when the good acquired when the

[23:48]righteous acquired and passive then they are in fact contributing to evil

[23:54]by not promoting and enforcing that which is rightful in that which

[23:59]is good and this is the proper implementation and this is the

[24:06]proper understanding of that in iron there is great benefit to mankind

[24:15]because through taking up this iron we are capable of standing in

[24:23]the face of those who have took it up for the sake

[24:25]of evil now back to our talk on government we gave the

[24:34]verse we've established that allah sends his messengers with the books and

[24:40]the mizan so that mankind can rule one another justly do we

[24:48]have examples of a divine government in history we have many we

[24:53]go back to the holy quran the story of sulaiman alaihissalam allah

[24:59]azzawajal gave him a kingdom and gave them kingdoms and they ruled

[25:04]by the rule of allah and in our narrations we have several

[25:09]narrations that speak about the government of imam and we'll get back

[25:26]to this narration and so we go all the way to rasulullah

[25:36]the first order of business after the migration to medina is what

[25:47]establishing the masjid in medina building this masjid and making it the

[25:56]center of government in medina with the holy messenger as the head

[26:04]of state and the quran and the as the constitution of this

[26:10]state see brothers and sisters before we go on with the examples

[26:17]of divine government in history those who argue the third opinion that

[26:21]we gave that islam is a government for all times in the

[26:27]presence of the sum or not they touch on a few points

[26:32]to bring this forth they say as muslims our constitution is the

[26:36]holy quran the most sacred pillar of this religion is the holy

[26:45]quran this is the word of allah it dictates our lives they

[26:51]say if this divine book was revealed in allah's wisdom because we

[26:55]know that allah is wise he doesn't do anything out of abath

[27:03]he doesn't do anything just for the sake of doing it they

[27:06]say that if we are saying allah azzawajal is wise and he

[27:11]has revealed this book to us and in this book there are

[27:14]laws regarding marriage laws regarding divorce laws regarding capital punishment laws regarding

[27:24]economics laws regarding social and family affairs how are we supposed to

[27:32]implement this quran if we have no government did allah reveal these

[27:37]verses just for the time of the mason or is the quran

[27:43]holistic or is the quran for every era and every time after

[27:55]the government of rasulallah which in fact is a miniature model of

[28:05]the government of imam imam when we speak about the government of

[28:12]imam it is a continuation and it is the spreading on a

[28:23]gra and establishing on a grander scale the government of muhammad ibn

[28:27]abdullah sallallahu alaihi and it's for this reason imam al-baqarah alaihis-salam says

[28:31]as i stated in the beginning when he speaks about the government

[28:35]of imam al-mahdi alaihissalam who refers to it as what da latuna

[28:40]our government it is the government of muhammad sallallahu whether he sat

[28:59]on the throne of khilafah or not because in our doctrine as

[29:06]shia imam it is allah azzawajal who appoints his khalifa and just

[29:16]as the silent quran the book is our constitution is our governor

[29:23]the speaking quran is our ruler but when the ummah after 25

[29:34]years of failure came to ali ibn abi ta'ala demanding that he

[29:38]take the reign of government reminded them about a few years prior

[29:51]after the second had passed away and they came and they offered

[29:57]ali ibn abi talib under one condition they said to him that

[30:03]you abide by the book of allah the sunnah he refused he

[30:25]said i will rule by the book of allah and by the

[30:30]sunnah of rasulallah and my understanding of the sunnah he has no

[30:37]opinion of his own islam it says abide by no one else

[30:44]is sunnah except the sunnah of rasulallah and the law of the

[30:49]holy quran when they came to him just before the advent of

[30:51]his khilafah this was the condition he gave them that i will

[30:59]rule by the book of allah azzawajal and by the sunnah of

[31:04]the messenger of allah and my implementation of this sunnah and they

[31:10]agreed and for four or five years in this ocean of discourse

[31:19]and war and civil unrest in the ummah picking up the fragmentations

[31:25]and the pieces of this destroyed nation ali alaihissalam is implementing to

[31:33]the best of his capability to the best of anyone's ability the

[31:37]kingdom of allah azzawajal and history will today bear witness and forever

[31:47]bear witness that the most just government to ever shine light on

[31:56]this earth was the government of allah the government where the head

[32:04]of state would spend his nights going door-to-door feeding the poor and

[32:09]the orphans and the weirdos and they would not know that he

[32:15]is the head of state that he is amir al-mu'min the government

[32:22]where ali alayhis salaam hears that one of his representatives attended the

[32:32]gathering of the rich in egypt did nothing haram did nothing haram

[32:41]did not break the rules of allah azzawajal imagine one of our

[32:48]governments doing this today is the ambassador of alaim and he is

[32:54]the governor appointed by alibaba he is invited by the prominent figures

[33:01]of egypt or some of the prominent figures of egypt to a

[33:06]meal or a gathering and go and read this little and see

[33:29]divine justice and see divine mercy where amir al-mu meaning is now

[33:37]admonishing malik telling him in your region there are poor there are

[33:50]those who cannot afford bread and now the governor appointed by ali

[33:57]is sitting at the table of the rich and eating yamalia admonishes

[34:06]him for his simple act in the government of alaim splits mankind

[34:19]into two two categories when he sees an old poor man walking

[34:27]at night and his back is at his back is arced over

[34:33]and he looks like he's in distress and looking for food ali

[34:38]alayhis salaam in the streets of kaufa sees this site and he

[34:43]asks his companions who is this why is there such a man

[34:47]under my governance go and bring from baitul mal and give him

[34:56]they said to him [Music] he is not a muslim he is

[35:06]from amongst the people of the book because this was the mentality

[35:10]that they had been raised on for 25 years this was the

[35:16]islam that they had been raised on and got used to for

[35:20]25 years shocked he says this man lives under our ruling then

[35:29]he says his famous saying that people are of two types they

[35:36]are either your brothers in religion or you're equal in humanity allah

[35:42]a constitution for mankind everywhere this should be written a constitution for

[35:49]mankind everywhere in every era i challenge a government of today to

[35:53]produce such a constitution in one or two lines he hears that

[36:07]who claimed to be muslim that the had attacked a village and

[36:15]removed the earrings from the ears of a jewish woman amir al-mu'min

[36:23]he says if someone were to die out of heartache from hearing

[36:30]this he should die does not sleep lest there be a muslim

[36:47]or a non-muslim in yemen or in hijaz or in iraq who

[36:58]sleeps without food this is ali alaihis this is the government of

[37:08]alibnia beta this is the government that imam al-hussein alaihis-salam goes to

[37:14]kufa to establish imam hussain when asked about his mission statement what

[37:24]are you going out to do where are you taking all these

[37:29]women and children why are you going off to kufa are you

[37:32]going off to cause sedition and trouble in the ummah i'm paraphrasing

[37:39]here he says no i have gone why i'm going but to

[37:45]restore the nation of my grandfather and to reform the nation of

[37:49]my grandfather what's his restoration what's this reformation yahoo saying why does

[37:56]it need reform what is it look what his concern is he

[38:00]says do you not see that the haral of allah has been

[38:06]made haram and the haram of allah has been made halal and

[38:12]people do not enjoin good nor do they forbid evil it is

[38:21]for this the establishment of this government that respects the laws of

[38:28]allah azzawajal and enjoins good and forbids evil that hussein allah putting

[38:40]himself and his family in danger just to go sit in kulfa

[38:45]just to go be imam jamaa in kufa he is not killed

[38:52]because he wanted to go and lead jama'a prayers in kufa imam

[38:59]hussain is going to kulfa to establish the government of rasulullah our

[39:09]imams all of them from allah every single one of these imams

[39:19]is either slaughtered or poisoned why did the tyrants fear their prayers

[39:28]and their dua did they fear the laws and the akam of

[39:31]tahara if they did not suspect or genuinely feel these tyrants that

[39:42]these imams threaten the very establishment of their kingdoms they would have

[39:52]left them alone but this was not the case every one of

[39:58]our imams was slaughtered and poisoned and many of them before they

[40:04]were slaughtered or poisoned imprisoned either under house arrest or moved to

[40:09]another country or placed in an actual prison because they were feared

[40:15]their governments were feared they were feared by the tyrants of the

[40:21]time and all we need to do is look at the mission

[40:29]statement of imam al-mahdi alayhi and we'll end with this as i

[40:34]said to you the other night when we read this related to

[40:43]imam zaman alayhi let's read them like mission statements read them as

[40:51]documents highlighting the objectives of the coming of the imam and one

[41:00]of the most popular adayah related to imam al-mahdi alayhi salaam taught

[41:04]to us by imam um and we have received it through this

[41:20]chain of narrations towards the end of the dua some of the

[41:29]statements the mission statements of the imam is given we are given

[41:32]a glimpse of what imam al-mahdi's government will look like this is

[41:38]what is to come this is the glad tidings that allah azzawajal

[41:41]has given us we read father the son of the daughter of

[42:05]your messenger who is named after your messenger foreign him emerge so

[42:18]that he does not come across anything of falsehood except that he

[42:24]shreds it ya allah so this is the first objective of the

[42:29]government of imam al-mahdi alayhi to eradicate falsehood to eradicate barton and

[42:43]to restore truth after abolishing falsehood make him ya allah aid him

[42:51]ya allah in restoring truth making the truth clear and restoring it

[43:00][Music] and make him oh allah a refuge for those who are

[43:12]oppressed amongst your worshipers and servants he will come destroy falsehood establish

[43:23]truth and he will be aided with allah azzawajal to the point

[43:28]he has the might and the strength and the power and the

[43:31]capacity to defend the oppressed lima and a supporter for those who

[43:47]have no support about allah azzawajal so imam if he is the

[43:52]supporter of those who have no support about allah [Applause] restore what

[44:23]was shelved and put aside from the laws of your book is

[44:34]making a clear statement to us making an obs first observation is

[44:39]that the book of allah azzawajal the book as a book has

[44:46]not been touched we as muslims all agree despite maybe some minor

[44:51]claims here and there from both sides that the quran has been

[44:54]tampered with but overall unanimously us muslims believe in one quran is

[45:02]not speaking about the quran being tampered with and changed no but

[45:09]he says the akam the laws the rulings in this book are

[45:14]no longer applied to allah they have been abandoned this final savior

[45:23]of ours imam al-assad is teaching us in this dua one of

[45:28]his main objectives is to restore the the rulings in the book

[45:34]of allah azzawajal that have been made idol or negated or dropped

[45:40]or ignored by the muslims not just the book of allah the

[45:46]imam continues and he will strengthen he will strengthen what has come

[46:00]in your religion and reinstate the sunnah of your prophet sallallahu alaihi

[46:09]when we read and we read it a lot and we hear

[46:11]it a lot that imam al-mahdi alaihis-salam will come with a new

[46:17]religion correct we hear this all the time that he will come

[46:21]with a foreign religion a religion which is strange people will look

[46:26]at this religion and not recognize it is it that the religion

[46:35]of imam almighty is different to the religion of muhammad is it

[46:39]different to the religion of alaim islam religion with allah is islam

[46:48]the religion of allah is islam there is no other religion what

[46:50]is new religion no but we have deviated so far from the

[47:00]path and eradicated so much of the holy qurans and rulings and

[47:08]abandoned so much of the sunnah of rasulallah that when the imam

[47:17]salam when he comes with the proper and pure islam of his

[47:21]grandfather rasulallah to you and i and to the rest of the

[47:37]world it looks foreign it looks foreign and this brings us back

[47:45]to the narration of rasulullah who says islam began glad tidings to

[48:05]the strangers meaning glad tidings to those who hold on to this

[48:10]religion which will reach a point where everything about this religion seems

[48:16]strange in your societies and you are deemed backwards and you are

[48:25]deemed to be a an extremist if you adhere to the book

[48:30]of allah and the sunnah of his messenger to grow your beard

[48:35]is frowned upon sister improper hijab is frowned upon if she chooses

[48:46]to wear the abaya of sayada [Applause] this community will make her

[48:55]life hell this community will make her life hell but if she

[49:04]were to wear a simple hijab with tights and a tight t-shirt

[49:10]nobody would question her nobody would question her but when the prophet

[49:18]dean of muhammad sallallahu alaihi ali is being implemented she's an extremist

[49:23]she's a weirdo look at how she looks when our brother refuses

[49:33]to eat but his friends make fun of him it's all the

[49:38]same bro this is beef and this is beef it's all the

[49:43]same why you so extreme because he wants to eat this is

[49:55]a true story somebody asked me once if i prayed i said

[50:02]yes this is a muslim you pray you don't drink alcohol exact

[50:10]words you're an extremist praying and not drinking alcohol makes you an

[50:16]extremist not listening to music extremists i don't attend mixed weddings why

[50:25]are you being so extreme oh don't don't talk to him he

[50:29]doesn't go to weddings doesn't listen to music he's so extreme we've

[50:34]become strangers described that beautifully perfectly in towards the end of the

[50:48]dua because we are ending now the discussion on the concept of

[50:54]government in islam we have established that in islam we do have

[51:01]a form of government islam is a religion of government whether we

[51:06]agree that it is implemented only in the time of imam al-mahdi

[51:10]alayhi or implemented before that we agree that it exists and that

[51:17]it will be implemented at the time of the imam alayhim we

[51:48]are asking allah azzawajal to grant us this generous or this dignified

[51:57]nation what is the objective of it bring honor and dignity to

[52:13]islam and the muslims and bring disgrace to who bring disgrace to

[52:25]hypocrisy and the hypocrites and make us through this government ya allah

[52:32]amongst the callers towards your worship and allow us to lead the

[52:43]people towards you through it and grant us this is the important

[52:49]part here of imam mahdi's government the government of imam guarantees your

[52:59]dunya and your because islam is not a religion based simply on

[53:08]akhira as imam assad he says he says he is not from

[53:14]us who gives up his dunya for his archer nor is he

[53:17]from us who gives up his akhirah for his dunya yeah islam

[53:22]requires this balance we don't have hermits in islam people are not

[53:27]encouraged to go out and sit in mountains and just pray and

[53:29]disassociate from people no islam is about your dunya through your dunya

[53:37]and through the government of imam al-mahdi alaihissalam we guarantee [Music] m
