[0:42]abdullah [Music] muhammad if we look at the world of islam today

[1:35]we can ask the question what are the factors that have led

[1:42]to the prevalence of the religion of islam depending on who you

[1:53]ask you'll get different responses some say that islam was simply spread

[1:59]by the sword and some muslims would agree with this notion in

[2:11]fact one scholar one academian who wrote a book on the quran

[2:16]says that the statement is partially true in that it's not the

[2:25]religion of islam that was spread by the sword however it was

[2:30]the political domain of islam that was spread by the sword and

[2:35]indeed if you notice the expansion of islam after the life of

[2:40]the prophet peace be upon him the political domain of islam expanded

[2:47]through battles through wars through offensive battles beyond the borders of the

[2:54]arabian peninsula into the rest of the arab world what is today

[3:00]the arab world all the way to the borders of europe china

[3:06]and spread through africa and that continued expansion eventually became what is

[3:21]today known as the islamic world and this is why islam became

[3:25]prevalent in the world today not that the religion expanded but rather

[3:34]the political domain of the religion expanded in this fashion but if

[3:40]we move away from that argument and if we really study the

[3:44]causes and factors we come across five factors that were the cause

[3:56]of the expansion of islam in an organic manner and three reasons

[4:02]why islam stuck in those areas because you can force people to

[4:11]convert to a religion to a way of thought but that does

[4:14]not guarantee that it will stick with them for generations to come

[4:19]so i want to share with you these factors the factors that

[4:26]number one helped islam expand in the world and the factors that

[4:33]allowed islam to stick to remain relevant in the places that it

[4:38]expanded to number one first and foremost is the concept of da'wah

[4:48]we're all familiar with this term dawa literally means to invite and

[4:58]the quran encourages the believers to invite people to the faith hasanah

[5:11]invite the people teach them invite them but how do you invite

[5:20]them invite them through admonishment through wisdom and a good word many

[5:31]groups across the world today they believe in inviting people to the

[5:35]faith they practiced the first part of the verse and they abandoned

[5:40]the second part of the verse this is what we see with

[5:46]extremist groups across the world today is that they invite but they

[5:50]do not invite with wisdom nor with a good word they invite

[5:57]through ignorance through ignorant behaviors by being rash and rude and offensive

[6:06]the quran says which means that when we invite it's not only

[6:16]what we say it's not only about the content but how do

[6:21]you deliver that content there was a speaker one time who said

[6:28]that he walked into his son's room and his son had taken

[6:36]the crayons and he was writing all over the wall so he

[6:40]turned to him and he said hey what's wrong with you don't

[6:44]you know you're not supposed to do that i don't want to

[6:47]see you doing this again he said when he came back the

[6:53]second day to check up on his son not only was he

[6:54]drawing on the walls he said he was looking looking at me

[6:58]dead in the eyes while he was doing good to show him

[7:01]that i'm doing it in spite of you he said this time

[7:05]i took another approach he said i came down to his level

[7:10]and i said to him my son you're no longer a child

[7:14]you are growing into a young man he said i affirmed his

[7:20]ego i told his ego what it wanted to hear and finally

[7:24]he gave up so it's not just the content of what we

[7:31]say it's our method of delivery and this method of delivery in

[7:36]itself requires a special type of intelligence known as social intelligence yesterday

[7:41]we spoke about emotional intelligence we said that emotional intelligence is to

[7:47]have mastery over your emotions to take it one step further a

[7:52]similar concept a different type of intelligence is known as social intelligence

[7:55]and this is when you you can not only recognize your own

[8:01]emotions but you recognize emotions in other people as well and if

[8:07]we want to influence people we must understand and implement the concept

[8:12]of social intelligence so the prophet himself was adai yay god tells

[8:33]the prophet that that we have sent you as one that a

[8:42]witness shahidan mubashir is a person who gives glad tidings that one

[8:50]of your tasks one of your objectives is to invite people to

[8:55]the religion of islam the prophet himself also appointed other daes as

[9:01]well among them al-imam amir al-mu'ali he sent him to yemen to

[9:11]invite people to the faith and he said that if you're able

[9:21]to guide one person it is more beneficial than everything that the

[9:25]sun casts its shine upon meaning everything in this world another one

[9:30]of the companions that he chose was one of the first converts

[9:39]to islam he came to mecca during the time when the prophet

[9:43]had still not made his his invitation to islam public before the

[9:47]public announcement narrations tell us that he received inspiration as he was

[9:55]tending to the cattle and he went to mecca and he found

[10:03]the prophet and he proclaimed his islam and so the prophet trained

[10:07]him and he sent him back to his people to teach them

[10:12]islam and it was not until many years later that abudhar came

[10:15]back he migrated came and migrated to medina and joined the muslims

[10:20]but the prophet was very selective with the type of person who

[10:25]would give dawa an invite not everybody has social intelligence not everybody

[10:33]is up for the task you find that today companies businesses restaurants

[10:42]if they hire someone who is going to be forward-facing who's going

[10:47]to deal with customers guests they look for specific characteristics they're not

[10:53]going to put anyone there they're not going to put someone who's

[10:55]rude or harsh they're going to put someone who has manners basic

[11:02]etiquette someone who has the basics of social intelligence or else it

[11:09]could be disastrous so da'wah has always been essential to the expansion

[11:17]of islam proper dawa and again dawa is not to yell at

[11:24]people or to talk down on people or to insult people it

[11:27]is to win people it is to win their hearts it is

[11:33]to attract their hearts this was the character of rasulullah and this

[11:39]is the character that we see in imam that he won the

[11:46]hearts of those companions that chose to accompany him in the story

[11:51]of zaidebin who was the adopted son of the prophet zaid when

[11:56]he was young his mother brought him from yemen to the arabian

[12:02]peninsula to visit some relatives that they had what happened was that

[12:07]their tribe was raided and he was taken as a prisoner he

[12:12]was brought to mecca and sold into slavery and so he was

[12:17]a servant in the home of lady khadija and when lady khadijah

[12:19]married the prophet peace be upon him she gifted the prophet with

[12:22]zade and he became like a son to him it said that

[12:30]many years later the father and uncle of zaid came to mecca

[12:34]in search for him and they found him so the prophet realized

[12:40]that now he there was a choice that needed to be made

[12:45]and the prophet turned to zaid he said your father and uncle

[12:49]are here you don't owe me anything anymore you're free to go

[12:53]back he refused to leave he wanted to stay with the prophet

[12:59]and when asked why he said because you do not know what

[13:04]this man has done in my life treated him like his own

[13:11]son this was the way of the prophet peace be upon him

[13:13]he had social intelligence and people were around him because they wanted

[13:21]to be around him not because they were composed to listen to

[13:26]him so dawa is one of those key components and if we

[13:32]unders if we look at the history of the expansion of islam

[13:36]from the time of the prophet to our present day there are

[13:39]many stories of how islam spread throughout the world for instance through

[13:45]dawah for instance when it comes to the spread of islam through

[13:49]asia a very little known fact is that sufi muslims were responsible

[13:53]for spreading islam through asia one of those stories i'll only share

[14:01]one of those stories because of you know time constraints is that

[14:07]it's written in a letter that in the year 1323 the buddhist

[14:14]ruler of kashmir converted to islam he became the first muslim ruler

[14:20]of kashmir and the letter says the following it says that the

[14:26]the ruler whose name after converting to islam became shah and this

[14:31]is a quote it says subjected himself to the teachings of mustafa

[14:36]and the right principles of the truthful path of murtala what does

[14:41]that tell you about him that he followed the path of the

[14:43]prophet and the path of imam ali salam and embrace the islamic

[14:51]religion with sincerity and conviction so where is this from islam being

[14:57]spread by the sword a ruler does not have to answer to

[15:03]anyone but he accepted islam with full conviction and sincerity so this

[15:08]is one way that islam spread is through dawa is through good

[15:13]moral admonishment the second factor that contributed to the expansion of islam

[15:21]is trade and commerce we know that the prophet muhammed peace be

[15:27]upon him the prophet himself would engage in trade and commerce in

[15:40]the company of his uncle abu talib and also later on funded

[15:46]by the wealth of lady khadijah peace be upon them both we

[15:50]know the story of how the prophet migrated how he traveled with

[15:56]his uncle to asham the levant and how he came in contact

[16:05]with a monk who recognized the signs of prophethood the first sign

[16:08]was that he sat under a tree that according to the monk

[16:13]he said no one sits under this tree except if they are

[16:16]a prophet or the successor of a prophet this was one sign

[16:20]the second sign was the seal of prophethood on the back of

[16:25]his neck this was one of the physical signs of prophethood that

[16:29]the prophet peace be upon him carried the seal of prophethood and

[16:33]the third was that when he was offered sadaqa when he was

[16:37]offered charity he did not consume it a plate of dates was

[16:42]brought out to them and was told that this is charity the

[16:44]prophet as a child refrained from eating it so the prophet himself

[16:50]was a merchant this is how he began his adult life and

[16:57]so trade has always been a central part of the expansion of

[17:03]the religion of islam you look at the silk road the historic

[17:07]silk road how islam spread which led to islam being spread to

[17:15]china you see how islam was spread into southeast asia one interesting

[17:19]story that i found it says that when baghdad was sacked by

[17:23]the mongols in 1258 so much damage was done to the tigris

[17:31]and euphrates rivers in iraq that they were no longer vi it

[17:37]was no longer viable to transport anything through them so before that

[17:43]time one of the main connections between the indian ocean and the

[17:47]mediterranean sea were the tigris and euphrates river but because it was

[17:50]sacked because it was destroyed it had to be rerouted through the

[17:56]red sea which we know the red sea is between today the

[18:00]arabian peninsula and egypt and so traders from southeast asia were forced

[18:05]to carry on through that route and inevitably they were influenced by

[18:11]the teachings of islam so they had to pass through the domain

[18:14]of islam to get to the other side and they would take

[18:21]islam back to southeast asia this was one way that islam spread

[18:24]into southeast asia was through trade a third factor that contributed to

[18:32]the expansion of islam was migration both forced migration and voluntary migration

[18:41]one of the earliest stories of migration of forced migration in islam

[18:46]was the story of the first hijrah the early muslims who under

[18:53]the leadership of jaffar ibn abi talib migrated from mecca to abyssinia

[19:01]where they found refuge under a righteous christian king and the exchanges

[19:12]that took place the theological exchanges that took place between this muslim

[19:18]refugee community and the christian king revealing how close the two faiths

[19:25]were and the only thing that separated them according to the king

[19:29]was a line in the sand this was the only separation between

[19:34]islam and christianity so this is one example another example is the

[19:41]transatlantic slave trade that took place for many years muslims in africa

[19:49]particularly in west africa who were forced to come to the united

[19:53]states what is now known as the united states on the transatlantic

[20:00]slave trade and if you read the statistics it says that about

[20:05]24 of all of the slaves that were brought over were from

[20:11]senegambia which is in west africa senegal and gambia and those are

[20:16]two populist muslim countries some of you have maybe heard of the

[20:23]story of omar ibn saeed who was from senegal and he was

[20:34]a scholar understood the arabic language spoken the arabic language and was

[20:40]brought over to the eastern shore of the united states and he

[20:43]lived from the year 1770 to the year 1864 so born in

[20:48]senegambia and died in north carolina and he was one of the

[20:54]few that actually when he was in the united states as a

[20:55]slave wrote an autobiography in the arabic language which survives until today

[21:01]now in the city where he is buried in north carolina there

[21:05]is a masjid by the name of masjid um and of course

[21:09]his history says that he was forced into christianity and he became

[21:16]a good christian but muslim historians maintain that he kept his islamic

[21:25]identity so migration whether it be forced migration or voluntary migration allowed

[21:29]for the expansion of islam from the heart of the muslim world

[21:37]world outwards and if you look at the journey of imam hussain

[21:41]alaihi in essence it was a migration from one place to another

[21:46]the quran tells us that on the day of judgment there will

[21:50]be people who stand before god people who are sinners who will

[21:56]stand before god and when god will interrogate them about why they

[22:01]lived a sinful life their response will be that we were forced

[22:06]to live this type of life by the leaders who ruled over

[22:10]us then the response will come to them and god will say

[22:15]to them that was did god not create a world an earth

[22:23]that is vast enough that you can travel through it freely you're

[22:27]not forced to live in one place many of us either our

[22:35]generation or our father's generation or our grandfather's generation left countries where

[22:42]there was no economic opportunity or we were not allowed to practice

[22:49]our religion or our specifically our school of thought freely this was

[22:53]the case for muslims for the longest time not until the fall

[23:01]of the baath government in 2003 did we see a revival in

[23:06]ziara the ability to practice the faith openly and the school of

[23:10]thought so migration is another factor the fourth is intermarriage and we

[23:22]have many instances of how muslims across the years intermarried and this

[23:27]is how islam began to expand in certain societies the prophet peace

[23:32]be upon him he encouraged marriage and he encouraged procreation in one

[23:37]hadith he says that marry between one another and procreate and on

[23:53]the day of judgment i shall be proud of you when i

[23:57]see that you have married and you have procreated you have produced

[23:59]the prophet peace be upon him himself married a jewish woman safiya

[24:07]he also had a christian wife that was sent to him as

[24:13]a gift from egypt and who became maria maria who became the

[24:18]mother of ibrahim his son so intermarriage was a way for the

[24:24]message of islam to be expanded there was a book written recently

[24:31]called i believe a history of marriage or marriage history and in

[24:36]this book the author suggests something very interesting that this concept that

[24:41]we carry today that you marry someone because you love them she

[24:48]says that this concept would seem absurd to our ancestors because if

[24:56]you study how and why marriage took place over the centuries you

[25:00]would find that the prime reason for marriage before was a number

[25:07]of reasons one is to strengthen the bonds between families to different

[25:13]families another reason is to acquire property and assets now if you

[25:19]think about that today if someone gets married with the intention of

[25:23]acquiring property and assets you would say this is a greedy person

[25:26]this is a selfish person this is a person who has ulterior

[25:34]motives however for many years this was the case so it's important

[25:38]to to place this under perspective and number five and this is

[25:44]perhaps the most prevalent way that islam expanded throughout the world was

[25:50]through influencers now today we're familiar with the term influencers social media

[25:57]influencers i mean why do why do social media influencers get paid

[26:00]the type of money that they get paid it's because they simply

[26:05]influence people to make a decision because if i see i don't

[26:10]want to start bringing names on the mimbar but you know who

[26:14]and who they start wearing a certain brand of shoe or clothing

[26:18]or they start driving a certain type of car or wearing a

[26:23]certain type of watch what do you think happens in sales and

[26:27]revenue to that company so i was looking up some statistics and

[26:32]it's interesting because based on the amount of followers you have obviously

[26:37]you get paid more or less so there's what is known as

[26:44]macro influencers these are people who have between 500 000 to 1

[26:50]million followers for them to post one post it costs anywhere between

[26:53]five to ten thousand dollars now that company is gonna make up

[27:01]that five to ten thousand dollars in spades if that's the type

[27:03]of money that they're offering for a post then you have mega

[27:08]influencers mega influencers are the ones that have more than one million

[27:13]followers these people get paid ten thousand dollars plus ten thousand dollars

[27:17]on the low side some get paid as much as a hundred

[27:19]thousand dollars for one post and you see why our youth don't

[27:26]want to go to school these days and get a job it's

[27:28]because it's enticing to become an influencer and everybody wants to become

[27:32]an influencer so in that same regard islam also expanded through influencers

[27:42]not necessarily tick tock or instagram influencers but actual influencers and leaders

[27:49]of communities and societies the prophet peace be upon him in the

[27:55]beginning of his message and this took place i believe in the

[27:59]year seven during the month of muharram that he sent letters to

[28:02]the leaders of the nations that were around the muslim empire inviting

[28:08]them to islam because if they were to accept islam what would

[28:15]happen their people would also follow suit some companions that accepted islam

[28:20]early on were influencers people such as abu dharr rifari that we

[28:25]mentioned another one of those influencers was he was one of the

[28:32]prominent chieftains of the tribe of os in madina and when the

[28:39]prophet first arrived to madinah he sent musab to teach the religion

[28:46]of islam to the people of medina and he came into conflict

[28:51]with sadibin ma'ath and so saddam came to the prophet and he

[28:57]accepted islam but he did not inform his people he himself went

[29:02]to his people and he said oh people how do you view

[29:07]me they said oh sad you are our leader you are one

[29:10]of the best people in judgment you are one of the most

[29:13]trustworthy people that we know after they affirm that he said i

[29:19]have converted to the religion of islam i have accepted the message

[29:22]of muhammad and this is how people began to accept the message

[29:33]of islam towards the later years whereas in the beginning it was

[29:36]one or two people towards the end of the life of the

[29:42]prophet you had entire tribes coming to madina to accept islam or

[29:45]leaders of those tribes who would accept islam and come back and

[29:48]teach their people and the quran that you'll begin to witness people

[30:02]accepting the the message of islam in waves so influencers and if

[30:12]you if you look at history there were a number of muslim

[30:16]influencers who would spread the message of islam wherever they visited one

[30:22]was a chinese muslim admiral during the ming dynasty by the name

[30:32]of chenghou and between the years 1405 to 1433 he led seven

[30:35]maritime expeditions for the ming dynasty which led him all over southeast

[30:42]asia and even as far as the eastern coast of africa mombasa

[30:45]kenya and him and his followers would establish mosques wherever they went

[30:54]another one of those examples of influencers closer to home is muhammad

[31:04]muhammad was the son of elijah muhammad elijah muhammad was the founder

[31:11]of the nation of islam here in the united states his son

[31:16]waratuddin after the passing away of his father converted to mainstream sunni

[31:22]islam and within a span of a few years brought 70 000

[31:28]people from the nation of islam into the fold of islam this

[31:33]is the power of an influencer and this is why the prophet

[31:40]peace be upon him he would speak to all types of people

[31:42]but he would give a special focus on those who had influence

[31:47]in the society had companions who were influencers a person like al-haribani

[31:59]aziz these were all influencers so we spoke about five factors that

[32:11]led to the spread of islam now why did islam stick because

[32:17]again you can force someone to convert but what is it that

[32:21]allows that message to remain relevant there are three factors number one

[32:25]the islamic emphasis on justice allah says in the quran bismillah commands

[32:48]us to do three things one is to be just the second

[32:56]is benevolence or righteousness and the third is to give to the

[33:05]closest of kin some people try to give to those who are

[33:07]far before giving to those who are near and islam commands us

[33:12]to take care of those who are closest to us but the

[33:18]islamic emphasis on justice in the ahlul bayt school of thought in

[33:22]the creed in our theology adil the belief in justice is one

[33:28]of the five pillars of our faith we believe that allah subhanahu

[33:34]wa ta'ala is just and that he has made it binding upon

[33:37]himself to be just he has made it binding upon himself to

[33:47]be just justice is a core foundation of our faith if you

[33:55]study the the rise and prominence of a group like the nation

[34:01]of islam what is it that made it so popular is that

[34:03]they saw islam as a liberation theology it was a way to

[34:07]move away from the beliefs that were forced upon them the christianity

[34:13]that was forced upon them when they were brought to the american

[34:20]continent so there is an emphasis on justice and justice is one

[34:24]of those universal principles that you cannot fight against you cannot argue

[34:29]against you know i mentioned yesterday uh during the during the discussion

[34:35]that you know you you cannot you cannot fight against uh you

[34:41]cannot fight against principles if for instance if we look at the

[34:45]principle of gravity if a person decides to jump off of a

[34:50]building versus if they tripped versus if somebody pushed them three different

[34:54]scenarios the results are still the same the result is that you

[34:57]are subject to the laws of gravity you can't excuse yourself because

[35:02]somebody pushed you or you tripped once you're in the air you're

[35:06]subject to the laws of gravity this is a universal principle that

[35:09]cannot be violated with that that cannot be violated that cannot be

[35:15]argued with justice is the same justice is a universal principle so

[35:21]the islamic emphasis on justice number two is the islamic emphasis on

[35:28]unity the quran tells us to hold together to the rope of

[35:38]god and we know what the rope of god refers to in

[35:40]the bait school of thought it is the combination of the quran

[35:44]and the tradition of the bait unity and unity takes many forms

[35:54]when we pray together in congregation we are exercising unity when we

[36:00]perform the hajj we are exercising global unity and this has a

[36:08]very powerful effect on the human psyche when you know that you

[36:13]are not isolated when you know that you are united with others

[36:16]around the world i would recommend if you have not to read

[36:21]the autobiography of malcolm x a very fascinating individual who made two

[36:27]transitions the first transition is when he was in prison the second

[36:32]transition is when he went and performed the hajj in the year

[36:36]1964.

[36:38]and during both times he had time to reflect in solitude there's

[36:43]a lot of value in reflecting in solitude and when he went

[36:47]to the hajj he came back and he renounced his earlier beliefs

[36:50]that this type of person is more superior to that type of

[36:55]person and he started to believe in true unity and true oneness

[37:02]unfortunately he did not live long to to continue to elaborate on

[37:10]on his views his life was was cut short however his story

[37:14]is one which is very inspirational so we have the islamic emphasis

[37:21]on justice we have the islamic emphasis on unity and the third

[37:26]characteristic is the universality of islam which means that wherever you go

[37:32]in the world and the quran reminds us travel and see how

[37:37]other people live that you find those who have adopted the religion

[37:44]of islam stick to the principles but each person has each nation

[37:49]has given their own flavor they've given their own touch to it

[37:53]for those of you who've had the chance to travel the world

[37:58]and see different muslim communities it's it's a it's a fascinating sight

[38:03]to behold a few years ago i was with my father in

[38:08]hong kong and as we were touring the place out of nowhere

[38:12]we found a beautiful masjid that was erected in the early 1900s

[38:20]still preserved still protected still serves as a place of worship and

[38:25]you become fascinated with how islam has reached what we consider from

[38:32]where we live the ends of the earth but the key to

[38:37]all of this is what we mentioned in the beginning social intelligence

[38:44]which is an extension of emotional intelligence if we want to continue

[38:51]to spread the message of islam it must be done in the

[38:55]way that the quran admonishes us so what is social intelligence number

[39:07]one social intelligence is when we know ourselves we have mastery over

[39:16]ourself this is how social intelligence begins the famous narration reminds us

[39:24]who knows himself shall know his lord so there's great value in

[39:29]knowing oneself and then it is also a capacity to know others

[39:37]and speak to people in a way that appeals to them speak

[39:42]to people the way they want to be spoken to treat people

[39:47]in a way that they want to be treated this was the

[39:52]practice of the prophet peace be upon him and the imams of

[39:54]albeit this is why they they were able to win the hearts

[40:01]of people is because they were socially intelligent they knew not only

[40:07]what to say but how to say it and why to say

[40:10]it when we speak to our children when we speak to our

[40:15]youth when we speak to our families our communities do we practice

[40:18]social intelligence or do we try to show up they say uh

[40:23]show up and and and and just they say show up and

[40:27]throw up which is to show up and give up everything that

[40:29]you have there's a statement which someone shared with me a long

[40:36]time ago and it made a lot of sense and that statement

[40:38]is people do not care how much you know until they know

[40:42]how much you care this is when we exercise social intelligence is

[40:46]that you show people that you care about them that you're concerned

[40:50]about them and then you will win their ears and you will

[40:54]win their hearts but if i don't care for people if i

[41:00]have no regard for people if i don't want to connect with

[41:01]people then it really doesn't matter how much i know or what

[41:06]i say imam hussain alaihissalam was that socially intelligent leader so how

[41:14]do we gain social intelligence three ways number one we learn to

[41:19]listen we mentioned yesterday those who listen to what is being said

[41:24]and they follow the best of it the second is respecting differences

[41:30]when we learn to respect differences it's not about me trying to

[41:35]convert you or trying to convince you to accept my way of

[41:40]thinking understand and respect the differences in the paradigms that we have

[41:44]and the third is self-awareness we need to be aware of our

[41:48]own selves if we want to practice social intelligence the quran says

[41:58]that our ayat our signs are in the horizons meaning when they

[42:01]look outwardly but also within when you look within you will find

[42:07]the signs of god and this is how we achieve self-awareness which

[42:09]leads to social intelligence i want to now turn your attention to

[42:18]the story of karbala and tonight we are commemorating the martyrdom of

[42:21]muslim ibn aqil the trusted cousin and ambassador of imam hussain alaihissalam

[42:27]the first to give his life for the cause of imam hussain

[42:33]alaihi and it said that on the fifth of shabban he arrived

[42:37]to kufa the pro imam hussain al-islam had sent him to the

[42:43]city of kufa in order to verify the eighteen thousand people who

[42:49]had sent letters to the imam he wanted him to verify is

[42:52]that is their invitation legitimate and so when muslim first arrives the

[43:00]support of imam hussain alaihi salam is evidence so the first place

[43:12]that he goes to is the home of al mukhtar bin abi

[43:15]di and the governor of kufa at that time was bashir so

[43:23]the supporters of yazid realized that bashir was not the most competent

[43:30]person so yazid sends a letter to abedin is the governor of

[43:35]basra al-basra and he tells him he says he says leave and

[43:41]depart to kufa to rescue the situation because if we wait any

[43:47]longer the city of kufa will fall under the influence of hussein

[43:52]ibn adi alayhi and so muslim begins to gather the supporters of

[44:03]imam hussain alaihissalam and allah masked impersonating imam hussein and finally when

[44:17]when he enters he begins to bribe people he begins to purchase

[44:21]spies to find out where muslim ibn aqil is so muslim leaves

[44:26]from the home of al-mukhtar he goes to the home of another

[44:30]righteous companion hani where he seeks refuge there however the challenge begins

[44:38]to build up hani is brought into custody and the tribe of

[44:50]hani banu midhaj about four thousand of them come to the palace

[44:57]of obey dillaheb nizhiyad demanding that he is released but because had

[45:05]purchased slaves i had pr had purchased spies those spies began to

[45:11]spread the rumor within that group that the syrian army is about

[45:15]to come and punish them so they abandoned their campaign and that's

[45:22]when muslim ibrahim began to lose his followers one by one and

[45:28]we all know the story of how by the time he had

[45:32]completed his prayers on that night that there was no one standing

[45:39]behind him and he found himself alone lonely the ambassador of the

[45:47]imam going from one alleyway to another alleyway until finally he sat

[45:54]on the door of a lady by the name of tawa this

[46:01]righteous woman this honorable woman this noble woman he knocked on her

[46:07]door she came to the door she found him sitting there she

[46:11]said to him what is it that you want he said i

[46:14]am a traveler is it possible that you spare me some water

[46:17]to drink so she brought for him some water to drink after

[46:23]he drank the water she saw that he did not move from

[46:29]his place she turned to him she said yahada oh man he

[46:32]said i am living here on my own i am i'm a

[46:38]single lady this is it is not appropriate for you to sit

[46:41]at my doorstep he said i have nowhere to go i am

[46:46]lonely in this city i am a traveler she asks him who

[46:50]he who he is he says i am muslim ibn aqil the

[46:54]ambassador of hussein she was one of the followers of the imam

[46:57]she said what is it that you're doing here he says i

[47:01]am i am lonely and i have been abandoned he says is

[47:04]it possible that i stay just this night in the home and

[47:08]i will leave and i will compensate you she says come inside

[47:13]she had a son and this son had fallen into the trap

[47:21]of obedience who had offered a reward for anyone to capture muslim

[47:25]ibn and so he heard about the arrival of muslim that entire

[47:30]night tawa says muslim spent his entire night in prayer and in

[47:34]devotio in devotion because he knew the end was near until finally

[47:40]when the morning came away sent his troops to the door of

[47:46]tawa a battle ensued and because muslim ibn's was protective of the

[47:51]home of tawa they began to throw fire at it because he

[47:55]was protective of the home he came out into the alleyway and

[47:57]began to fight the army of obedient and they had a hard

[48:04]time fighting against him they had a hard time subduing him why

[48:07]because this was muslim of the banu hashem this was a different

[48:12]caliber of warriors that they were fighting against until finally he was

[48:18]tired after the battle they subdued him they arrested him and took

[48:23]him to the palace of obnizyad where he was insulted and he

[48:26]was brought in front of and when it came time to kill

[48:33]him to behead him any request that you have are there any

[48:39]final requests he said yes i have three requests he says one

[48:43]is that i have a loan that i need to repay so

[48:47]i request that you take my chain mail you sell it and

[48:50]you re repay my loan the second is that give my body

[48:55]a proper burial and the third is tell my master hussain not

[48:58]to come to kufa because the people of kufa have betrayed him

[49:02]he said for the first two i will grant it for the

[49:06]third you don't worry about it we will take care of hussein

[49:09]and it was that moment that muslim the beloved cousin and ambassador

[49:16]of imam hussain was taken to the rooftop of the palace of

[49:20]kufa and as he was being prepared for execution they brought water

[49:24]in front of him for him to drink every time he kneeled

[49:26]down to drink that water the blood from his face would fall

[49:31]into it so he could not drink his own blood so they

[49:34]would bring fresh water for him to drink again the water would

[49:38]fall down this kept happening several times until finally muslim abner turned

[49:43]and he realized he said perhaps it is not meant for me

[49:48]to quench my thirst perhaps it is meant for me to die

[49:50]thirsty and at that moment is the moment where he was beheaded

[49:56]his head was thrown off the top of the palace the building

[50:00]of the palace his body was also thrown and dragged in the

[50:03]streets of kufa inna lila was foreign
