[0:00]foreign those who should we establish them in the land will maintain

[1:25]and establish prayers and pay the poor rate and enjoin good and

[1:29]forbid evil and allah is the end of all affairs we've entered

[1:40]into the discussion [Music] regarding the government of imam or as imam

[1:49]describes it the final government final government and we are now entering

[2:14]the characteristics of this divine government we've established a notion of government

[2:21]in islam we've discussed how this government is to be established we

[2:28]discussed the different opinions regarding it last night we state we discussed

[2:33]the first objective of this government or one of the first objectives

[2:37]of this government and it is the divine vengeance and tonight in

[2:43]sha allah we are going to discuss these this government of imam

[2:52]and just a side note for tonight and for the rest of

[2:58]the nights the reason why we are compelled to look into the

[3:05]government of imam and what the world would look like under the

[3:10]command of imam is not purely for entertainment also that we may

[3:20]pass time but rather so we may check within ourselves to see

[3:26]if we meet the criteria of citizenship in this kingdom of imam

[3:33]zaman ali so that i may look when i see the signs

[3:39]of the government of the imam what this government consists of what

[3:44]this state will do what its objectives are what type of a

[3:49]lifestyle would we live what would the world look like i take

[3:56]a look at myself and my affairs and see if i fit

[4:00]with this government if i do then alhamdulillah and if i don't

[4:11]also alhamdulillah i can start to work on myself so that i

[4:17]may become an upstanding citizen in the nation of imam this government

[4:28]of the imam as we said in the first nights its main

[4:37]objective rather every other objective of the imam and every other objective

[4:41]of this government stems from this objective and it is establishing the

[4:48]religion establishing a world government where the quran and the albeit are

[5:03]the only and the first and the last constitution reviving the religion

[5:13]of rasulallah we read in the following regarding the imam where is

[5:32]the one hoped for removing oppression and aggression where is the one

[5:43]spared for refreshing the duties the religious duties our religious farahed and

[5:48]the sunnah the traditions of muhammad where is the one chosen for

[6:01]restoring the faith and the code of law where is the revival

[6:22]of the elements of religion and its people we understand from these

[6:30]lines in dua and in several narrations speaking of the imam that

[6:36]flow around the same thing that the justice that the imam alaihissalam

[6:45]is going to spread right because we said that in the narrations

[6:51]the earth will be filled with corruption and injustice and the imam

[6:55]will fill it with justice and eradicate injustice we understand from these

[7:06]lines and from the hadith that the main tool that imam salam

[7:16]allah uses to spread this justice and to establish this justice actually

[7:22]the only tool that imam is armed with is establishing religion it

[7:32]is only through religion in the philosophy of islam that justice can

[7:40]be established that truth can be established it is only through the

[7:48]quran and the sunnah of muhammad muhammad who are the vocal quran

[7:52]the living quran it is only through the two weighty things that

[8:00]rasulallah ali left with us in the narration which is presented and

[8:05]which we find in the books of the sunni and the shia

[8:10]where rasulullah says verily i leave with you two weighty things the

[8:15]book of allah and my progeny and if you were to hold

[8:19]on to both of them you will not go astray at all

[8:23]it is only when we establish the fakalain that we can have

[8:33]any sort of justice everything outside of the thakkalain everything outside of

[8:39]the quran everything outside of the sunnah of muhammad muhammad is in

[8:47]fact injustice anything and the corruption that preceded the imam imam al-m

[8:59]the corruption we see today is a direct result of abandoning the

[9:09]thakalain it's not the other way around it's not because of corruption

[9:15]the quran and abandoned no because the quran and were abandoned corruption

[9:25]spread if you remember we said that evil is the absence of

[9:34]good evil is not an independent entity it is the absence of

[9:42]good so when the quran and the albeit became absent in the

[9:50]ummah when they became absent in the so-called islamic government after the

[9:57]demise of muhammad this is when corruption spread this created the environment

[10:08]for wickedness and evil to grow from the moment rasulullah not passed

[10:20]away from the moment the holy messenger began to show signs of

[10:28]nearing death this ummah abandoned the facade most of them and there

[10:41]were those who claimed or attempted to hold on to one of

[10:46]the two not understanding that one without the other does not work

[10:56]that islam is a bird with two wings a bird cannot fly

[11:02]with one wing you cannot have islam with just quran the same

[11:06]way you cannot have islam with just and there were those that

[11:15]on the prophet's deathbed came and said to him the book of

[11:20]allah is sufficient for us and there are some amongst us today

[11:29]who attempt to carry on this satanic sunnah the moment this ummah

[11:48]they sent us on a downward spiral a spiral towards a worldly

[12:00]jahannam and an eternal john the abandoning of the thakalein is what

[12:14]led this ummah to kill the daughter of the messenger of allah

[12:25]in the name of the messenger and from then a domino effect

[12:40]so we can understand the magnitude of abandoning the quran quran is

[12:52]abandoned sidelined labeled killed poisoned and the quran is left in the

[13:13]whims of man to be interpreted according to the desire of man

[13:17]leads to the killing of fatima then this domino effect before this

[13:27]ummah had no door been not been burned in medina you would

[13:44]not have found a tent of hussein alaihis salaam had no ribs

[13:56]of fatima alaihissalam being crushed in medina no ribs of al-hussein alaihis-salam

[14:07]would have been trampled in karbala had no nail pierced no arrow

[14:20]would have pierced the neck of ali this is all a direct

[14:31]result of abandoning the religion and this divine vengeance that we spoke

[14:36]about last night the objective of this divine vengeance is to eradicate

[14:47]the causes and the foundations of corruption and if the foundation of

[14:54]corruption and evil is the abandonment of the quran then the only

[15:05]way to eliminate and destroy the foundations of this evil and achieve

[15:08]this divine vengeance is to re-establish the quran and this is the

[15:23]primary role of imam this is the primary role we mentioned the

[15:38]narration that the imam alaihis salam will come the amren with a

[15:47]new religion correct and we said that this religion of imam how

[15:57]can he come with a new sharia if in our belief as

[16:04]muslims muhammad so if the holy messenger is the final messenger and

[16:31]there is no new religion only a prophet of allah can bring

[16:37]about a new religion and there is no prophet after the holy

[16:39]messenger and imam al-mahdi is not a prophet he is the wasee

[16:47]of a prophet so this religion that imam al-mahdi alaihissalam comes with

[16:55]that our imams say is a new religion is in fact not

[17:04]new rather it is the orthodox religion of muhammad but because we

[17:12]have traveled so far away from it and because we have abandoned

[17:18]its tenants and because we have corrupted the interpretations of this holy

[17:25]book and because we have abandoned the teachings of when imam with

[17:34]the proper islam it appears to us as something new and foreign

[17:41]and strange we cannot recognize it we have abandoned religion to the

[17:54]point as we said in the previous nights where with religion the

[18:00]killing [Music] of imam al-hussein alaihissalam was justified through interpretations of the

[18:10]quran through fatah through interpretations of the hadith of rasulallah in the

[18:19]name of rasulallah in the name of the quran in the name

[18:26]of islam the pillar of islam imam al-hussein like all the imams

[18:39]salaam allah and this is not limited to the oppressors brothers and

[18:49]sisters a vice if we do not stop it on a minor

[18:53]scale we allow for it to grow we allow for it to

[19:00]grow if we look at our current era our current lives here

[19:08]2021 wherever you are in the world today it is unfortunate and

[19:17]this is not everywhere and everyone but this is a common theme

[19:23]that we see that islam is not established in our day-to-day lives

[19:33]forget the governments as muslims in our day-to-day lives whether we are

[19:46]religious or irreligious whether we are practicing or not establishing islam in

[19:52]our day-to-day lives is very rare we may pray we may fast

[20:00]we may abstain from particular sins we may wear hijab however when

[20:08]it comes to allowing islam into your affairs there are many of

[20:18]us that are hesitant there are many of us who prefer other

[20:26]than islam even though we may pray and wear hijab and have

[20:30]a beard and wear rings and zyara masha [Music] but when it

[20:37]comes to our personal affairs islam is not present culture a lot

[20:49]of the time supersedes islam in our decision making society supersedes islam

[21:04]in our decision making islam has not been presented to us as

[21:12]children growing up islam has not been presented to us as an

[21:20]as a complete way of life i'll give you an example this

[21:29]personally happened to me a few years ago i was in a

[21:37]particular country during the nights of muharram discussing the concept of racism

[21:44]how islam tackles racism and according to some of our narrations because

[21:57]a few of his grandmothers are from the african continent the imam

[22:08]alaihissalam is dark skinned according to some narrations this may be a

[22:14]possibility and i was saying that we as arabs if let's say

[22:25]an african brother a motmen he's a practicing muslim he has a

[22:31]good job he has an education and this african brother has come

[22:39]and asked for my daughter's hand in marriage my daughter agrees she

[22:44]wants him he wants her there is nothing wrong with him it

[22:52]is unfortunately very common that this brother would be rejected simply based

[22:59]on the color of his skin correct okay so i've said this

[23:08]on the member and i've come down from the member and one

[23:12]of the khudam the servants of this hussainiyyah pulls me to the

[23:22]side thank you very much good lecture but listen i don't like

[23:29]what you said so what did i say he said are you

[23:38]trying to tell me that imam al-mahdi alaihis might be black i

[23:47]said so what if he is he it's hard so what do

[23:55]you mean it's hard he said it's hard it's hard for me

[24:00]to fathom hajjn understand something i'm not telling you what color skin

[24:09]imam and mahdi has and it doesn't really matter what color his

[24:12]skin is whether he's black or white or red or yellow but

[24:18]i am telling you that if today you have a problem with

[24:25]someone of color marrying your daughter when your imam comes if he

[24:33]is of color you're gonna have a problem with him and you're

[24:36]gonna have a problem following him because islam is okay to some

[24:44]of us when it is tradition and rituals rights and rituals we're

[24:51]all good at this we can be great at this but when

[24:55]it comes to actual implementation in my personal life in my personal

[25:01]affairs when things don't sit right with me islam is one thing

[25:05]and i'm something else and it happens here a lot here in

[25:16]the west it happens a lot where islam prevents presents to you

[25:25]a solution to a problem and we go for every other solution

[25:32]except the solution of the quran and muhammad we don't want it

[25:41]we don't want it in issues of marriage mainly issues of divorce

[25:51]in raising our children in our social issues we don't want it

[25:59]financially we don't want it we don't want it it is not

[26:07]strange that the imam alaihissalam is labeled as one who revives the

[26:17]switch is compulsory so yeah but most you know alhamdulillah i mean

[26:28]some people are very uncomfortable paying homs very uncomfortable always looking for

[26:38]loopholes around it the amount of phone calls messages emails i get

[26:44]if i give this to my wife the night before as a

[26:47]gift and she gives it back to me do i have to

[26:51]commissa what if i give it to my son what if i

[26:53]do this oh my home state is coming i need to spend

[26:54]this money and buy things so i don't all the time all

[27:00]the time we're uncomfortable businesses had one brother who has a restaurant

[27:16]in a particular country he has a restaurant and a deli and

[27:19]allah azzawajal has given him and alhamdulillah this brother he pays his

[27:25]homes he does his salat his hajj his pious brother and then

[27:32]one day i discover this guy in his restaurant and in his

[27:34]delis he sells alcohol and pork tell him brother how does he

[27:44]sit right with you he says to me man you know if

[27:48]i don't sell alcohol and if i don't sell pork i won't

[27:50]make a quarter of what i make and mind you yeah this

[27:54]quarter that he makes yeah is masha'allah if you just made just

[28:01]a quarter you know but brother now you are deliberately deliberately sinning

[28:15]deliberately disobeying allah for your pocket yeah just just leave me just

[28:24]except for this i'll do everything but this i i can't do

[28:26]this i can't do a sister praise salah to lay this is

[28:36]a true story praise salah does not have one day of kada

[28:45]on her one day not one day recites the quran several times

[28:53]a month always fasting no hijab no hijab suzy yeah i i

[29:04]love religion i love it's not yoga i love it yoga you

[29:07]go you do it because you like it makes you feel good

[29:09]this is a way of life sister islam is a complete and

[29:14]i'm not attacking sisters here that don't wear hijab yeah i'm attacking

[29:19]my idea but yeah just this this issue of hijab i can't

[29:21]do it i can't i just can't do it we think that

[29:29]we are privileged to pick and choose do foreign believe in some

[29:42]of the book and disbelieve in some of it picking and choosing

[29:47]i'll do this but this i can't do this i won't do

[29:53]this no just as allah is one his religion is one it

[29:57]is one system okay we're not perfect we sin we sin but

[30:06]when it becomes deliberate when we are deliberately eliminating parts of islam

[30:12]from our lives parts of religion from our lives this is no

[30:18]longer islam this is no longer islam this is what makes the

[30:24]religion of imam al-mahdi alaihis-salam seem like a new religion when he

[30:32]comes and he says to this brother brother this you need to

[30:37]pay homson he says oh but all my life mawlana has told

[30:40]me that i can say no no no no give me these

[30:44]homs huh this is money give me it but are you gonna

[30:51]give sister this these tights that you wear and these funky this

[30:59]is not hijab no one ever told her wasn't hijab because it's

[31:02]a culture thing if i cover my head this is hijab since

[31:06]this is not hijab but what do you mean this is extreme

[31:12]no it's not extreme this is deen this is what religion is

[31:16]brother you can't eat this you can't sell this the verse that

[31:24]we opened up with discusses the establishment of the foundations of the

[31:29]imams government look what a beautiful foundation it is allah azzawajal starts

[31:34]off in this verse by saying he is speaking about those whom

[31:39]allah azzawajal has established as rulers on the earth okay the first

[31:46]order of business what is it those when we have established them

[32:02]on earth as leaders and given them that power to lead the

[32:04]first order of business is what not at salat but they came

[32:11]and they prayed or they performed their prayers they established salat establishing

[32:19]salat is different to praying you see brothers and sisters the first

[32:28]order of business for us when he came to medina was to

[32:37]establish a masjid it's the first thing he did commanded the muslims

[32:45]to build this masjid and the muslims of medina most of them

[32:50]those who could took part in building this message community effort and

[32:57]this masjid this place of salat this is what a masjid is

[33:04]called that is a place of sujud place of prostration became the

[33:09]center of the government of muhammad sallallahu alaihi all the affairs of

[33:15]the muslims were solved and dealt with in this masjid and to

[33:24]establish prayer proper prayers is to establish this masjid of muhammad so

[33:31]that we may pray the prayers that what [Applause] establishing prayers is

[33:41]supposed to prevent sin and corruption insha allah we all pray but

[33:53]we still sin and we're corrupt now this means that allah azza

[33:58]is talking about a greater form of prayer not this prayer that

[34:01]we pray individually establishing the masjid was essential for the continuation of

[34:08]the government of muhammad establishing the masjid was essential for spreading islam

[34:15]establishing the masjid was the center of the affairs of the ummah

[34:22]it is where the revelation was given to the people it is

[34:27]where the qatar the judiciary was done it is where people came

[34:34]to see the prophet sallallahu alaihi and come to him with their

[34:39]problems and their questions this masjid of rasulallah our imams carried on

[34:47]this sunnah when they were permitted to remain in medina they would

[34:55]sit in the masjid of the messenger of allah their grandfather's mosque

[35:00]and people would come and speak to them and ask them and

[35:03]here salat was established when i come to the masjid for my

[35:10]problems when i come seeking allah's solutions for my problems this is

[35:20]salah when i come to the place of salat searching for the

[35:28]law searching for the rules searching for the solutions of my day-to-day

[35:32]affairs this is establishing salat you know what in the beginning of

[35:43]his revolution the beginning of his advent what does he do builds

[35:47]a masjid in kufa or around the area of a masjid so

[35:57]grand our narrations say it has one thousand doors this is to

[36:06]display the grandness of the imam's empire because it is a global

[36:15]government it is a global mission the imam needs to build this

[36:17]massive masjid many of the imams adventures let's say revolve around the

[36:36]masajid of allah for example we said establishing the masjid in kuwafa

[36:44]refurbishing the kaaba it's an important mission to the imam alaihissalam restoring

[36:53]the kaaba to its original form restoring the kaaba to its original

[37:02]form because we have in our hadith after the kaaba was destroyed

[37:05]it was made smaller and more than that after the demise of

[37:10]our holy messenger ibrahim those of you have been to hajj you

[37:16]will see that we have ibrahim the pulpit of ibrahim in the

[37:21]hajj had been moved from adjoining to the kaaba had been moved

[37:25]a couple few meters away from the kaaba imam al-m finds it

[37:33]essential to return ibrahim to where it was understands that establishing salat

[37:45]in the house of salat is pivotal in addressing the affairs of

[37:52]the ummah when the masjid becomes the center of my community when

[38:00]it is where brothers gather now today before the advent of the

[38:05]imam it is where brothers gather it is where friendship is made

[38:10]it is where our problems are solved my brother and i have

[38:17]an issue we have a business disagreement a civil disagreement i don't

[38:21]go running to other than allah azzawajal i come to the house

[38:25]of allah subhanahu wa come to those who know the law of

[38:31]allah azzawajal come to our fukaha jurists say to them we are

[38:35]muslims we believe in this book of allah we believe in the

[38:37]wisdom of allah we want none other than the rule of allah

[38:42]mawlana give us the ruling of allah in this matter and no

[38:48]matter what the ruling is because we are muslims because we have

[38:52]submitted to the war of allah azzawajal we happily take it this

[38:58]is the revival of religion the second thing the imam alaihissalam or

[39:04]the verse tells us is giving us the pillars of this government

[39:20]first one is establishing salat second one is zakat we're talking about

[39:23]a financial system here establish a financial system and then they're enjoying

[39:34]good and they forbid evil this will be discussed in later nights

[39:38]inshallah here we're talking about a judicial system we are talking about

[39:47]a law enforcement we are talking about a military system a complete

[39:52]government but the main foundation of this is the last of the

[40:00]verse the end of this verse allah says and for allah is

[40:12]the end of all affairs meaning every affair we have we're supposed

[40:18]to be doing this today but we'll see this in the government

[40:24]of imam almighty said now that some affairs return to allah subhanahu

[40:41]wa is the end of all of the affairs every single affair

[40:50]you can think of think of a human affair and allah azzawajal

[40:56]has provided for us a solution and the imam alaihissalam will rule

[41:05]in this way had we done this look what allah azzawajal says

[41:14]about he says m and if they had kept up if they

[41:38]had established again not recited the taurat akamu established the taurat as

[41:48]a law and the injeel and that which was revealed to them

[41:54]from their lord they would certainly have eaten from above them and

[41:58]from beneath their feet you know what this means this means that

[42:04]had those before us and had we done this had they established

[42:09]the taurat and the angel and had we established quran in our

[42:16]lives we'd already be in heaven when allah azzawajal speaks to us

[42:22]of of heaven of jannah he says to us you eat from

[42:26]above you and from beneath your feet we would already be in

[42:31]jannah the first jannah brothers and sisters is the government of imam

[42:38]if you make it to the government of imam al-m to one

[42:49]of his companions when he asks him to pray for him to

[42:53]enter jannah the imam alayhi salam he says you are already in

[42:58]it you are ready in jannah our william of muhammad muhammad is

[43:06]jannah it is up to you to maintain your presence in this

[43:10]jannah it is up to you allah starts you off with a

[43:20]10 out of 10 mark it is our actions how much we

[43:28]are willing to establish qur'an and bait in our lives that removes

[43:32]us from this jannah or keeps us in it this establishment of

[43:43]religion this as we refer to the imam which was also the

[43:51]mission of imam al-hussein is not limited to a particular geographical area

[44:01]we'll discuss this point for a few minutes inshallah and then move

[44:06]on to the matchless see unfortunately because overall over the last 1400

[44:15]years we have abandoned the teachings of rasulallah we have abandoned the

[44:25]holy quran not you and i as a umma in general we

[44:31]have allowed for the whims and the wishes and the desires of

[44:39]the disbelievers to creep into the interpretations of our religion and let's

[44:47]be frank we have made concessions to please them no one wants

[44:52]to hear this no one wants to say this but we have

[44:57]made concessions to please them unfortunately some of us not all of

[44:59]us we are embarrassed to express our deen in front of the

[45:12]non-muslim sometimes a lot of the time simple things brother says to

[45:17]me yeah you know i can't pray lord i work i always

[45:22]pray when i get home i say why brother said i want

[45:26]to pray in front of them don't want to pray in front

[45:29]of them more concerned about the looks of people than his relationship

[45:37]with allah sister why did you take your hijab off i got

[45:46]a job at this firm this is the truth so i got

[45:49]a job at this firm and it's an elite firm it just

[45:54]it doesn't look right it doesn't look right concessions we make for

[45:59]them mawlana this topic why do you sidestep it the government no

[46:12]muslim he doesn't like it when you talk about enjoining good forbidding

[46:16]evil jihad particular laws of marriage mawlana runs away from it like

[46:27]he's running from a fire don't mention this i went to a

[46:32]community once and the organizer of the masjid he says to me

[46:33]says we're glad to have you however please brother don't discuss uh

[46:42]homosexuality don't discuss uh american tyranny uh don't discuss uh the war

[46:46]in yemen it was in the peak of the war in yemen

[46:49]please brother i said what do you want me to discuss what

[46:56]do you want from me i'll leave it's better for me to

[47:01]leave our masajid sometimes unfortunately have abandoned this not understanding that we

[47:15]are an ummah of the holy quran allah azzawajal is very clear

[47:21]in this book this is the word of allah and until we

[47:27]start treating the quran as the word of allah azzawajal we are

[47:32]going to have a massive problem with imam almighty when the quran

[47:40]is clear quran tells me don't make concessions for them because they

[47:47]will never never land never they will never be okay with you

[47:57]until you follow their ways or their religion who is the muslim

[48:04]that's accepted today and the muslim they love and the muslim they

[48:08]clap for the house muslim the uncle tom muslim the muslim that

[48:17]is okay with sexual deviances the muslim that is okay with a

[48:23]corrupt social system the muslim that is okay with the corrupt financial

[48:28]system the muslim that does not speak in the face of oppression

[48:32]the muslim that attends the banquets and the houses and the offices

[48:38]and the parliaments of the tahoe this is the muslim they love

[48:43]and this is the muslim that some of us want to be

[48:46]this is not the islam of imam one of my teachers discussing

[49:01]saying that you know where it's recommended for us to be recommended

[49:06]and we are commanded to continuously pray for the advent of imam

[49:14]you say but sometimes i sit and i think am i patient

[49:22]enough for the justice of imam al-mahdi alaihis because there were those

[49:31]who called upon amir al-mu'min alayhi salaam come and establish the proper

[49:37]religion come and establish the sharia of muhammad salam establishes commanded you

[49:57]to pray the nawafel prayers in shah ramadan commanded you to pray

[50:01]them at home and not in the masjid protests were about to

[50:05]break out in the streets of kufa because of tradition we have

[50:09]been doing this for so long ali you are coming to remove

[50:16]the sunnah of those before you no no no no there were

[50:20]people at the time of amir al-mu'min in those who called him

[50:25]and told him to come and establish his government once he established

[50:29]it once he established we need to make sure that this justice

[50:54]our heart inclines towards it before we call on the imam ali

[51:01]so that we are not those who have called on the imam

[51:06]alayhis salaam only to betray him and say to him return as

[51:12]our narrations say return we have no use for you we have

[51:21]no use for you and others would accuse the imam according to

[51:27]our narrations by allah you are not a son of fatima had

[51:30]you been a son of fatima you would have been more merciful

[51:34]because mawlana all their lives lied to them and made islam this

[51:41]pluristic hippie i don't know what sort of a religion imam al-mahdi

[51:45]alayhi salaam comes with the law of allah azzawajal and it's no

[51:50]longer theoretical not just studied in the household it is implemented they

[51:55]accuse the imam alayhi salaam of what being too harsh the children

[52:01]of fatima have soft hearts you don't have a soft heart it

[52:06]has the softest of hearts it is your hearts that have become

[52:10]stone we ask allah azzawajal to make us amongst those whose hearts

[52:19]incline towards establishing the religion those who establish the religion in their

[52:24]homes and in their hearts and amongst their families and friends and

[52:27]in their communities and societies before the advent of the imam so

[52:33]that we are not amongst those who betray the imam allah muhammad

[61:26]sweat his beard drenched in sweat waiting for the one who came

[61:30]for his sake even though been cried out by the grace of

[61:39]allah and his mercy and by this may they be pleased peace

[61:42]be upon you master hussein with this he threw himself on ava

[61:47]abdullah embracing him tightly crying and in return imam hussain hugged him

[61:56]in such a manner even though he cried saying master for what

[62:00]reason have you sat in the here of the sun here waiting

[62:04]imam i do not forget such a deed and i said to

[62:13]myself i shall be the one who will come to you with

[62:19]my brothers and sons and show my gratitude to you now to

[62:28]karabakh the night of the night is dark and gets darker as

[62:37]what is to come is the greatest of tragedies everyone is busy

[62:43]in the camp of person worshiping and in prostration quran prayers preparing

[62:52]to meet allah in the most purest of forms because when the

[62:58]morning comes they will be sacrificed as isma'il like when the prophet

[63:08]prepared himself for his father ibrahim to take him of the great

[63:16]sacrifice i was later zainab walks out of her attend to find

[63:21]imam hussain sitting alone doing the spirit and reciting quran saying up

[63:27]questions why is hasan alone at this crucial trial at this crucial

[63:32]time where is abbas where are his sons and companions zainab says

[63:40]i wanted to approach abbas and reprove him saying why have you

[63:46]left hussein alone zainab continues to narrate as i approached abbas's tent

[63:53]i saw all the companions and hussein skin in a circle and

[63:59]abbas standing in the center saying tomorrow we shall defend our master

[64:08]with our blood flesh and bones imam hussain speaks to his companions

[64:17]and family i know no followers more superior and righteous than my

[64:22]followers or of a family more pious and closely knit than my

[64:26]family may god bestow you with the best of rewards i believe

[64:33]tomorrow will be our last date that will be brought about by

[64:36]these enemies you are all justified to leave you are absorbed of

[64:41]your obligation to me use this cover of the night to escape

[64:47]the people pursue only me and once they seize me they will

[64:55]not pursue anyone else he tells muslim sons to leave for they

[64:58]had already lost their father and it is sufficient they replied if

[65:06]we leave what what would people say we swear by allah we

[65:09]will not do such a thing abbas was the first to speak

[65:16]out why would we ever do that in order to remain alive

[65:22]after you may god never allow this to happen so hide up

[65:28]then stands and says by allah we would love to be killed

[65:33]then revived then killed a thousand times in this manner then our

[65:38]remains burnt and scattered a thousand times if it can keep you

[65:45]and your family safe we will never leave you all the companions

[65:49]spoke together saying by allah we will not leave you rather our

[65:56]life and all we have and all of our being will be

[65:58]offered for your protection one of the companions who was in the

[66:10]enemy camp was who was a general in yazid's army and was

[66:14]ordered to stop hussain's camp and lead him take care of the

[66:21]lord and did this but he realized his mistake and decided to

[66:24]rectify it by coming to abba abdullah like a humble pitiful sorry

[66:32]servant [Music] foreign i have come to you repented from what i

[67:04]did in front of allah and i can only find comforting coming

[67:11]to you to us to be killed between your hands and under

[67:15]your forgiveness can you find it in your heart to forgive me

[67:21]and intercede for my repentance i say replied all i will forgive

[67:25]you and will accept your repentance then horus and his son and

[67:30]servant to be martyred first then he advanced with his horse he

[67:35]fought side by side with zohair in a way when one of

[67:42]them would be attacked by a group the other would come to

[67:47]the rescue they continued this until they were separated by the army

[67:52]haro was struck on his head a phrase that is called time

[68:13]and time again hussain ran him as he was taking his final

[68:20]breaths hussein says you are free as your mother had named you

[68:32]you are free in this world and the next and he spews

[68:38]all so departed but why is the grave of horuna further away

[68:42]from the graves of the rest of the companions surrounding imam hussein

[68:47]because when um or the of the martyrs to be severed the

[68:53]tribe of har would not allow this to happen to his body

[68:58]so um told them to take his body and bury him far

[69:05]from you i ask you who was there to prevent this from

[69:09]happening to the grandson of rasulullah as zainab witnessed horus body being

[69:15]taken away but imam hussain lay they felt the need to bury

[69:46]her out of honor and pride but what about the ones left

[69:49]under the sun after days of genocide which other companions were like

[69:58]imam hussain's companions who gave their all to their master with no

[70:03]hesitation neither badder nor ahord had such companions the scholar respected by

[70:12]many even from the enemy ranks approaches the battlefield he faces a

[70:17]man who calls him a liar was well respected on both sides

[70:36]the enemy strikes but he is not harmed a severe blow that

[70:45]penetrated his helmet into his skull while he was busy removing his

[70:50]sword a man came from behind and launched a spear in his

[70:56]waist [Music] then another soldier struck his head he fell calling us

[71:08][Music] was an old man who was so fierce he ran at

[71:16]the enemy and they fleed no one would fight him in single

[71:21]combat he told abba abdullah if i could keep you from being

[71:26]killed and war of oppression against you through something more than my

[71:31]flesh and bones and my life i would do so he ran

[71:33]at the enemy ripping off his armor breastplate and helmet and throwing

[71:39]rocks at them they are sim have you gone what did he

[71:50]reply the love of hussain has made me mad they then surrounded

[73:38]struck him repeatedly he called out assalamu they were so close like
