[0:03][Music] a heart of stones too hard to cry a mind that's

[0:16]closed won't wonder why a foolish man is deaf and blind a

[0:28]coward always stays in line but a soul that prostrates on its

[0:33]face with trembling heart seeking God's grace won't hide from truth can't

[0:40]hide the pain Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein I was born in Buffalo

[0:54]New York in 1948 a hunger that liability I mean my mother

[0:58]and father were really really close no they came from the same

[1:05]general place back in Arkansas somewhere they made sure that we had

[1:10]a real strong religious upbringing we were raised his Catholic so I'm

[1:16]gonna take athlete's school I hung that it not be allowed I

[1:20]mean for me um religion meant a lot because I was really

[1:25]sick when I was a kid I had asthma really really bad

[1:32]and because of that I had brushes with death and not only

[1:37]that when I was in when I was seven because it was

[1:43]the year we I took my first communion a classmate was hit

[1:49]by a truck and killed on the way from school was the

[1:53]funeral home and I stopped in to view his body as a

[1:58]seven year old and you could see the tire marks across his

[2:01]face I never will forget it the idea of death was very

[2:07]very real to me I knew that one day I was going

[2:17]to die Salaam so being taught catechism as a Catholic was the

[2:21]thing that I wanted to do I wanted to be on the

[2:25]side of angels I think that the primary thing that impacted upon

[2:28]my life was my father mashallah I mean he taught us primarily

[2:32]that he taught us reason does his primary thing you go I'm

[2:40]sending you this Catholic school and you have sermons on the daily

[2:43]basis I want to know what those sermons said that's what he

[2:46]taught us and honor and to be reasonable that you have to

[2:52]to understand the masala there's nothing worse than it ended that's what

[2:56]he would tomorrow and and not only that he taught us how

[3:00]not to be a gopher a gopher is a person that will

[3:04]go for anything gullible somebody was gullible if Islam taught me anything

[3:12]that is what Islam taught me because I have a huge ego

[3:18]you know my my parents have huge egos my mother was a

[3:21]was a classical pianist my father was a classical singer you know

[3:24]he's sung for the Buffalo Scala Caparo mashallah which is the chorale

[3:30]for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to have a to have a colossal

[3:35]ego and to not recognize al hamdulillah irritability mean the praise to

[3:40]him Lord of the world is damning and that was the thing

[3:46]that cooled my jets about Islam was what Islam taught me martial

[3:50]love that okay yeah you did all this and you did all

[3:52]that and blah blah blah blah blah alhamdulillah here I'd be a

[3:57]lot of mean because if it wasn't for him the grace and

[4:00]mercy of Allah you have done anything with Joe's ball tricks and

[4:12]lies Hussain chose death not compromise this prophets son would not bow

[4:23]down preferring death to being bound to evil hymns satanic son so

[4:32]with his death the Imam one Islam's loss was Islam's gain Hussein

[4:39]Hussein Hussein Hussein my journalism instructor Margaret long who was like a

[4:51]pioneer in journalism she is one of the first really heavy female

[4:53]journalists I went to her and told her I'm quitting I got

[4:57]to get out of here she said well you need to take

[5:00]off a little while what do you want to do I said

[5:01]I'd like to get a job as a reporter I've been writing

[5:07]as a professional before so I got a job working at a

[5:14]New York Post she got me the job and that ended up

[5:17]being a complete disaster because I guess I didn't know my place

[5:21]you see you know the first day I got there in New

[5:31]York City there were three baby killings that's the kind of stuff

[5:35]that goes on in a great metropolitan paper a place like New

[5:41]York City there were three baby killers naturally I was assigned to

[5:46]the black babies that were killed in fact it was three of

[5:51]them that died they were all brothers and sisters Hamas Allah and

[5:54]I went and I interviewed the people and lo and behold come

[5:58]to find out after three days of interviewing them and they were

[6:02]mad because it took me that long they'd come to find out

[6:04]that they were not killed they died of natural causes they had

[6:11]a they had a disease and the city had charged the parents

[6:15]with neglect and that all had him arrested mainly because the the

[6:18]chief of the police was name was Hogan at that time didn't

[6:23]do the work that they were supposed to do we did the

[6:25]work the reporters did to work and found out what they really

[6:30]died of a rare disease and the parents were so in were

[6:32]so you know grieved by it they weren't able they actually thought

[6:38]that they were responsible because they thought that they were responsible for

[6:43]the disease you know so we write this paper this article where

[6:46]it's gonna be on the front page at a New York Post

[6:50]that was before the pulse became a rag so what we thought

[6:52]that that was gonna happen but it wasn't it was buried something

[6:58]like five days later because we had exposed chief Hogan on page

[7:04]sixty something at the same time that that was going on I

[7:08]was writing a a white paper on my own about the B

[7:14]Afrin Civil War there actually was the Nigerian civil war it was

[7:18]called here the B Afrin conflict now I didn't know anything about

[7:22]it except what I saw on television I went and got a

[7:26]whole lot of quotes from people in Colombia and y-you you know

[7:29]real professors and what the thing was really about was that great

[7:35]big pool of oil that was in the south so I'm writing

[7:37]this stuff up I'm thinking I'm gonna do the 21 years old

[7:40]I'm getting a Pulitzer for this because there's never been anything written

[7:44]on it that I could find you know after I submitted it

[7:49]to the post which was a three part white paper I was

[7:55]fired straight up right then and there I was fired and the

[7:59]girl that had helped me expose Hogan was sent to Egypt eventually

[8:06]I went back home and I went back home realizing that what

[8:12]I wanted to do all my life I really didn't want to

[8:14]do anymore I did not want to be a reporter you know

[8:17]anymore I did not want to do that so I'm trying to

[8:22]figure out what I wanted to do and my mother is all

[8:23]upset because my sister had become a Muslim and they're really she's

[8:32]beside herself so they sent me down there to talk some sense

[8:36]into my sister and what happened is that they ended up talking

[8:40]sense into me my brother-in-law I asked him look everything that you're

[8:49]talking about is extraordinary to me especially this whole idea that God

[8:54]is not embodied there's no such thing as an embodied God he

[8:58]said well of course Jesus was a prophet and that there has

[9:03]been prophets that had been sent from the beginning except that people

[9:07]forget about the prophets what they taught and sometimes they deify them

[9:12]and I thought Bing said the masala so I said I asked

[9:16]another question about God and they recited cool who Allahu Ahad Allahu

[9:21]Samad mom you lead well I'm Yolanda Balam Nicola who for one

[9:26]had now even before he translated it I knew that this was

[9:29]the truth raka feel it mashallah al hamdulillah he rabbil alameen mashallah

[9:35]you know say he Allah is one upon whom all depends he

[9:41]begins not neither is he begotten and there is none like unto

[9:45]him and I'm by that time I'm tears all in my eyes

[9:49]and everything and I'm thinking good lord what am I could tell

[9:55]my mother he's gonna be oh what a brave and selfless deed

[9:59]to give up life for Islam's creed to sacrifice both friend and

[10:11]can to show the world Islam from sin are you confused which

[10:18]side is right how would you stand if God to fight are

[10:23]you aware just who was slain hussain hussain hussain hussain the leader

[10:38]of the gardens youth was murdered by a drunk uncouth understand the

[10:49]scene my friend an angel murdered by jin jin who held the

[10:56]Oma's reins a womanizer half insane condemned to death the chaste hussain

[11:05]hussain hussain hussain hussain they make me think about it for a

[11:18]while and I thought about it for about a month and to

[11:21]be perfectly honest I tried to figure out a way out of

[11:28]it because well like I said you know my road was set

[11:32]hum did it love it I mean I was on the fast

[11:33]track and I knew that if I became Muslim my life was

[11:38]going to be very very difficult because I didn't know anything about

[11:42]this religion and the more I the more I delved into it

[11:48]the more I saw that it was vast you know and this

[11:53]was going to take time that there was no course that I

[11:55]could take I'd have to do this all on my own and

[11:59]why couldn't I just you know I'm a good person I don't

[12:00]need to do it but the more I thought about it the

[12:05]more I realized that it was no way there was God talking

[12:10]to me and if I if I turned my back on this

[12:16]I would be forever damned the thing that I saw within my

[12:19]within my soul the motto father that I saw was that I

[12:25]was practically already in hell you know worshipping Jesus and worse than

[12:30]that I'm worshipping money you know I'm gonna do this for money

[12:34]I don't care you know I want to make a lot of

[12:38]money I want to be rich and powerful like have a bit

[12:40]alone and Islam brought back my ethical training to make me realize

[12:49]that I was way way way way stray my conscience made it

[12:52]very very clear that I was of that ilk because the things

[12:56]that I want I was getting ready to go back and even

[13:01]though I know that it would take a kind of hypocrisy I

[13:03]was gonna go back in the journalism get my degree maybe the

[13:08]right copy for some kind of you know people that advertising company

[13:14]or something like that or and then go into politics which I

[13:19]already knew was corrupt but and when I was in high school

[13:22]I was a boy senator two years in a row emotional um

[13:26]oh the beloved so I would like I said I was on

[13:30]a fast track for that but Islam made me realize that I

[13:36]was submitting to something less than submitting to God and what I

[13:41]didn't want to see that I was submitting to the devil I

[13:49]did not want to see that uh Nimrod in Islamic guys or

[13:52]unveils truth mixed with lies in oh my food by sleight of

[14:03]hand one raised his voice one dare to stand in Abraham who

[14:09]chose the flames rejecting falsehoods kingly claims and Abel who opposed Cain

[14:20]Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein I think that the majority of the come

[14:31]into the religion primarily because they don't believe that Jesus is God

[14:37]or they don't longer are agnostics and they see that what Islam

[14:41]there's no contradiction within the Quran that's just straightforward God is the

[14:47]infinite one he is the eternal one there's no mysticism in that

[14:52]that is just straightforward mashallah he doesn't beget he has not begotten

[14:59]he's neither father mother's son daughter whatever mashallah and he has no

[15:04]khufu in other words there's none like him that he could marry

[15:09]anyway I mean who couldn't it it doesn't make sense this does

[15:12]make sense he is unique it's not just one he is unique

[15:18]and that is what makes it obvious what makes it obvious about

[15:20]Prophet Mohammed is that there's never been a man like Prophet Mohammed

[15:25]since mashallah even a relay salaam was not Muhammad SAW Allah Allah

[15:30]was just like Hussein was not Ani Hassan was not a lead

[15:35]they said so as much mashallah so I spent most of my

[15:37]time for ten years studying prophets Sarah I read practically all of

[15:43]them that were in English mashallah and studied them in masala into

[15:48]I could I understood his mission masha'Allah I didn't know about the

[15:53]oddly part because I didn't know about the elevator at the time

[15:55]that came to me later mashallah between Oh 30 and 35 when

[16:04]I met sigh at Mawson habibi mashallah once I met Sai at

[16:11]masa my body alhamdulillah I belong I mean and learned that imam

[16:15]ali la salaam was literally cheated out of what he rightfully his

[16:26]rightful position that's when i started recognizing the I obeyed Allah there

[16:32]was the year that the embassy was taken mashallah so the reporters

[16:39]were all going crazy you know these are Ronnie's took our embassy

[16:44]and they're horrible people in blah blah blah they got all our

[16:49]people holding them as hostage and I'm looking at this for the

[16:51]first time I you know I'm trying to find out what's going

[16:54]on because I didn't care anything about the news but I was

[16:57]interested in this and you know I'm wondering you know what stir

[17:00]what's the problem you take it because nobody was killed mashallah they

[17:06]didn't look like they were doing hardly anything to these people except

[17:09]talking about give us our money back and we'll give you these

[17:11]people because America's was holding several billion dollars of the irani money

[17:18]sounds writing all these pamphlets you know in hand in the mountains

[17:25]on campus until they kicked me off kid they wouldn't let me

[17:27]on campus which I thought was a destroyed daily ridiculous because you

[17:30]know I know these guys were like drug dealers they're on campus

[17:33]hanging out handing out drugs lalalalala you know they're letting drug dealers

[17:42]on campus and he won't let pamphleteers on campus as ridiculous so

[17:47]one day of the leader of the MSA introduced a body to

[17:52]me at one of the Juma's Marshall on how but he came

[17:58]up to me crying literally I mean literally bawling Mottola because of

[18:03]what I was doing your day again I didn't think was a

[18:07]big thing I was just handing out pamphlets for God's sake you

[18:09]know and he was like you know this is what you're doing

[18:14]a great noble service for you know the alphabet and the Islamic

[18:17]Revolution and I'm saying I'm not doing anything because I'm not I'm

[18:22]not taking sides I'm saying that what we should do is that

[18:27]we should research this before we take any sides I don't know

[18:30]what's going on I never heard of these people before mashallah and

[18:37]so he he invited me to his home now I've been hanging

[18:41]out with these people for years and that's the only one that

[18:48]ever invited me to his house mashallah you know I'm this six-foot

[18:54]220 pound african-american soldier that he invites to his house mashallah now

[19:00]I'm thinking who is this guy because he is not like these

[19:06]other people mashallah that come from the east mashallah and we get

[19:10]to talking and arguing and talking and our union so I don't

[19:15]even remember the arguments that we were having but we just were

[19:19]having friendly man demand arguments calm didn't I arrive it out of

[19:24]me and one day I said listen mashallah you are you are

[19:32]you are a hero and I am NOT but what I want

[19:36]to know is what what is this about Imam Ali you know

[19:42]and I don't even think I said Imam at the time what

[19:45]is this my leave me I'll be taller I know that he

[19:50]is the hero in every every aspect of Islam I know this

[19:52]because of my studies I've studied Prophet Mohammed for over 10 years

[19:56]so I know the history of Prophet Mohammed what happened to him

[20:03]how come he disappears from the history after the prophets death all

[20:06]of a sudden I had it been wallet of our people is

[20:11]now the sword of Allah what happened to Ali Mei batalik and

[20:13]that's he didn't want to tell me you know he thought that

[20:19]you know I really you know I really don't want to go

[20:21]into this right now it may hurt your feelings it couldn't ruin

[20:23]our friendship bla bla bla bla what look man I'm not fragile

[20:27]you know all I want to know is the truth uh-hum did

[20:31]it not and that's the only thing that I believe in anyway

[20:37]mashallah so he told me the whole story right then in there

[20:39]and I was like now I know you did it now I

[20:45]know I'll hum did it love because I didn't know about sativa

[20:49]you know I didn't know about what happened to Fatima to Zara

[20:53]in her house mashallah I didn't know about them putting hands on

[20:56]Holly and me body and me I beat all about Islam I

[21:00]didn't know about what how Omar came into power you know I

[21:05]didn't know about how earth man came into power and that's how

[21:07]I came to understand the Sunnis that had adopted me hated me

[21:13]now I mean there was one brother who was Hafez and I

[21:16]used to go over his house and as a Hafez he recites

[21:20]so much Quran on a daily basis masha'Allah and this is what

[21:23]I started doing the same thing mom did it not after I

[21:29]became she he didn't wanna have anything to do with me it

[21:32]was like I had leprosy or something you dig I thought it

[21:34]was ridiculous I was arguing with him I said this is totally

[21:36]absurd you know what is the difference you know I mean it's

[21:42]just the banner of history he said I said well how did

[21:45]you come we were arguing heatedly at his house how did you

[21:47]come to this he said my mother taught me this I said

[21:51]well your mother taught you wrong and he thought it was like

[21:55]wow maybe my mother did teach me wrong and just as I'm

[21:58]starting to make the argument the phone rang and he lost it

[22:04]and I never was able to get it back he wouldn't let

[22:07]me in his house again after that at first we establish we

[22:16]prayed in a little cottage mashallah this is where everybody'd wear the

[22:26]MSA prayed when we started praying there and people started coming there

[22:30]mashallah and Abba deals are leading this was right after remember this

[22:33]is right after the culmination of the revolution so you had maybe

[22:38]10 15 people come in for 5 year 30 40 people coming

[22:44]for Margaret and the odds or annoucer and maybe 60 people come

[22:48]in from argumentation it disturbed the sensitivities of many of them more

[22:52]radical Sunnis so the leader of the MSA wrote his people in

[23:01]Saudi Arabia who in turn sent a Saudi priest with a five

[23:06]hundred five hundred thousand dollar check mashallah five hundred thousand nose days

[23:14]five hundred thousand dollar check so to take a bi big old

[23:19]mansion not a will wasn't a big mansion it was like a

[23:22]modern mini mansion well Shana I'm a very well big beautiful place

[23:26]is still there on a real place I love and they locked

[23:31]us out straight up in the meantime the university they didn't lock

[23:36]us out of the cottage but what they did is that they

[23:41]allowed the Chinese to come in there and dance on the place

[23:44]where we were praying that didn't stop us either so you know

[23:50]what they did they tore the whole thing down literally tore dead

[23:54]literally demolished it we got a gun with no firing pin mashallah

[24:02]we have everything that we need the she is a valium knee

[24:07]I be taller mashallah we have we have an Islamic Revolution that

[24:09]is being protected obviously by Allah emotional love we have some of

[24:15]the greatest scholars in the world not just jurist but philosophers on

[24:20]the planet some of the greatest poets in the world mashallah arm

[24:26]that it lie Arabiya light I mean we have so much money

[24:33]that is ridiculous la la la la la la sharika lah we

[24:36]got the gun but we got the firing pin so all that

[24:43]sucker does is cut no boom why it's because we're not bound

[24:48]together in worship like we're supposed to be I believe that if

[24:54]we were bound together in worship like we were supposed to be

[24:58]I believe this light would just rise on the horizon and that

[25:02]the people of the Western world would be able to see clearly

[25:06]then it would be up to them whether they're going to turn

[25:08]towards the truth or not mashallah but as long as we're not

[25:16]presenting our most sellable our most sellable fact facts faction factor you

[25:22]know the salah in Jamaat is the most sellable factor for anybody

[25:27]that believes it's got to be because the believers are what the

[25:31]believers are lovers only to one another mashallah how am I going

[25:36]to love you and I don't want to see you every day

[25:41]for fodder and Maghreb Anisha at least fodder margarita we could come

[25:47]together and in the Western world you're free to do this and

[25:50]nobody's stopping you from moving come together you're always talking about unity

[25:55]unity disunity that and unity other unity of the Spirit unity of

[26:01]the soul unity of your prayer you know like the angels bowing

[26:04]and prostrating when Allah said to bow you all are doing this

[26:07]every morning rising from the little death called sleep a lot coming

[26:14]together you know half-sleeve I about it so of all they come

[26:17]around you know loving each other you know really getting a chance

[26:22]to love one another mashallah that's what I believed in allah subhanho

[26:27]wa taala has put me on this planet for this is the

[26:31]big problem mashallah so for me this is what I've tried to

[26:36]do in the last 35 years since I've left Hawaii mashallah to

[26:43]try to promote this this concept while I'm doing my writings I

[26:46]mean all of my writings are saying the same thing mashallah and

[26:49]they all go back to the fact that what we're supposed to

[26:54]be trying to do mashallah has come together to worship Allah and

[27:00]then rise masha'Allah alhamdulillah Ramadan I mean that's what I believe it's

[27:06]the missing piece it really is I do want to tell you

[27:08]one story one of my nephew's and I may be getting this

[27:12]story wrong maybe I should ask him for a day but I'll

[27:14]just tell you because I remember it this way so it's always

[27:17]my story he was he store where the the CUFI and the

[27:23]Joba and he Joe Bob oh no Bob and he would go

[27:26]to the store and they said this Jew approached him had the

[27:29]yarmulke on and he told him mom you know what we're never

[27:33]gonna be a free you guys until you pray Fajr like you

[27:36]pray Juma and he told us that and I'm said that's they

[27:42]even know the spiritual currency of praying and jamol especially fodder and

[27:46]if you can my granny sure and why can't you you know

[27:48]everybody can eat they can have a potluck whatever share resources get

[27:53]to know each other the kids see each other it's the missing

[27:57]piece it's the part that I think would help the Muslims get

[28:01]out of the quagmire they find themselves in now praying in your

[28:05]home sure if you pray in your home with your family that's

[28:08]beautiful and that's good but that's not the Jamaa the Jamaat is

[28:11]families coming together you know and it doesn't always have to be

[28:15]the mush because we're in America we don't have the my shoes

[28:17]on every corner like we do in other countries and I hear

[28:20]they're they keep them locked up they're not necessarily open for prayer

[28:23]which is crazy here's you kind of stand it you know but

[28:28]I know there's some communities have try with their masters are open

[28:31]but very few people come to this I don't think is emphasized

[28:34]and the coot Baz it's not you know it's just the ones

[28:38]who know know when they come so that is that is to

[28:41]me the missing piece it really is I think if people started

[28:43]to do that it would be a force that of spiritual currency

[28:48]the blessings I think there's a hadith about it you know how

[28:50]many if there's two people there's three people there's four people if

[28:52]you get ten people you couldn't even count how many blessings there

[28:54]were and we and we were doing we had a lot you

[28:57]know our business was going well everything was just clicking on all

[29:01]cylinders you know by shake town stays busy it's a struggle it

[29:06]really is you know and if you end up with just a

[29:09]few for a while inshallah it's just for a while and then

[29:11]some other people come or though people who couldn't or can't or

[29:13]don't want to come back because they realize wait a minute you

[29:18]know I'm I'm getting picked off here this something's missing here it's

[29:21]not I need my children to see this not just with us

[29:26]they need to see it with others and I need you know

[29:27]my wife would like you know maybe they can all help cook

[29:31]or whatever so it is that it is the missing piece I

[29:36]mean it really is a loss Sunnah they wouldn't let Hussein's men

[29:40]drink and now they will not let you think they bar them

[29:45]from a river clear they bar you from a knowledge dear they

[29:54]fence your mind with bigotry and tie your hands with apathy why

[30:05]should a Muslim not feel pain Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein I've seen

[30:17]a lot of modulus but nothing there's two people that do modulus

[30:22]that I've never seen like their likes before and that's cyan't more

[30:26]to that cause weenie inside muscle my body those people take you

[30:31]to Karbala the first time it almost drove me insane literally mashallah

[30:35]like I told you did my admiration for a prophet muhammad sallallahu

[30:40]alayhe wa Adi was that of the Great Spirit you know mashallah

[30:46]I didn't believe that you said assalamu alayka ayyuha n-nabi you or

[30:50]amount o allah he what but I got to in salat for

[30:54]nothing mashallah I believed that his spirit is vast but on the

[31:00]reliability mean to to see to see his progeny slaughter like that

[31:09]you know that broke my heart it changed me forever it changed

[31:17]me forever and unlike a whole lot of people I did not

[31:25]I was I was I was sad for about a year Marshall

[31:31]um but and then I became angry and then after I became

[31:33]angry I became determined because I had to recognize this that happened

[31:39]then and although I regret that I was not there for you

[31:44]yes that you mashallah come on yes IUD mashallah I could not

[31:50]be maybe I was maybe my spirit was there for you but

[31:54]now that Allah has placed me here what am I supposed to

[32:02]do jaws it became the Muslims Edie why wasn't the head Hussein

[32:08]instead did not Hamid teach a love will then why are Muslims

[32:20]confuse still who's Abraham in who's Nimrod holes with Satan who's with

[32:27]God is not truth both clear and plain Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein

[32:40]I know at least six people who were Sunni listened to the

[32:46]murder of imam hussain and who since become followers are obeyed because

[32:51]they knew about they knew about Karbala they meant you know they

[32:55]were upset about it or they didn't appreciate it but they didn't

[32:59]know who he was really they didn't know what it what how

[33:02]important that was the people who stayed the sacrifices they had know

[33:06]the sacrifices but they didn't know how deep the sacrifices went how

[33:13]without who's saying that Islam proper would have been totally destroyed you

[33:16]know we still have a lot of craziness but there's still the

[33:19]truth here that it would there would be none you know we'd

[33:23]have all just totaled I don't know we'd have Islam ish kind

[33:28]of thing zeyneb you know it for a lot of women you

[33:32]know the modern woman the feminists they like they love zinnia oh

[33:36]my god are you serious is a Muslim gonna see yes it

[33:37]was you know it was just it the way he does it

[33:43]I know a lot of even the ones who know about it

[33:45]and when it first came out I think it was in Dearborn

[33:49]a lot of the young brothers young teenagers and young they loved

[33:52]it they would just recite it you know parents saying they're singing

[33:56]why we cry and just to pray it over and over and

[33:59]over again so it's really had an impact in a lot of

[34:02]people who hear it it's not a motto that's the whole thing

[34:03]everybody thinks it's a motto it's not a motto it's a book

[34:09]mashallah it's just it's an it's a narrative it's not like a

[34:13]song at all mashallah if you if you read it you'll see

[34:19]it's not a song mashallah it tells the story only the story

[34:28]is all in rhyme you mean which ones that I like the

[34:34]best oh I love the whole thing I think the one that

[34:40]I liked the best was the story of the story of Ali

[34:50]Akbar the story of Abbas in the explanation after the story of

[34:56]Abbas mashallah those are the ones died it was all I was

[35:01]almost like I was feeling the presence of those people I was

[35:04]crying all the way through it Oh mashallah it was really something

[35:10]I remember it to this day that was deep one that pops

[35:15]my mind because I'm a birth worker I'm a doula and do

[35:18]some midwifery work was of course Ali Asghar you know the baby

[35:23]and I remember reading the book in the room and I'm just

[35:25]like tears just falling down what actually with a baby you know

[35:28]six months old even lays the baby down on the ground this

[35:31]knife you think is for me you take the baby give him

[35:35]water and bring him back to me it's not me I don't

[35:36]want any of it and they shot him in the neck with

[35:40]an arrow you know that I mean that was the one and

[35:46]then everything else just his the fact of his sons and they're

[35:48]willing to die the the the the nephew and willing to die

[35:52]the and then afterwards of cours aina with the women had to

[35:56]go through in this Akina and then her being so strong to

[35:58]stand up against the house Eid and you know shut him up

[36:03]you know I think his wife also the fact that she just

[36:09]like with farallon's wife hacía so all if the whole thing was

[36:12]just overwhelming and I mean we just and of course tears and

[36:16]tributes was just you know it just pulls on your heartstrings just

[36:19]the way he writes and stuff even though the English is a

[36:21]little iffy it doesn't matter you just were taking there in fact

[36:26]when I got here to California and we didn't have any moisture

[36:29]that we were we were mostly with the wharf Dean Masjid they

[36:33]let us use it for the Muharram and that was my first

[36:35]Muharram and they had some Afghani brothers doing the modulus in Farsi

[36:41]but this guy's voice just the way he I don't know the

[36:43]tenor of his voice I could feel it and I remember we

[36:47]had it the first time and I didn't really feel it you

[36:49]know I know he's supposed to you know still cover and pretend

[36:53]so I begged Allah you know I please I want to really

[36:55]feel this amount I want to cry for real I want to

[36:57]feel I want to be there so the next one the next

[37:01]year when we had Imam mastered an imam ali that was bought

[37:04]it was a church and renovated they had it and I brought

[37:08]that book tears a tribute and so they're singing it Arabic you

[37:11]know there and everybody's and they're in Arabic and I'm reading in

[37:13]English but in Allah made it so that what he was talking

[37:17]about like I hear the names Abbas you know I was on

[37:21]the same page with this tears and tributes you know so it

[37:24]was just following the narrative and I'm reading in English and oh

[37:27]my god I was I think I delivered more than anybody else

[37:31]in there it was created I couldn't stop it was all day

[37:34]it was just weepy so even you know it just I just

[37:38]couldn't stop so ever since then it's easy you know to just

[37:41]concentrate and get into it everyone explain to someone doesn't understand I

[37:44]just find myself getting choked up so hamdulillah you know I could

[37:49]say that I actually actually can go there when I want to

[37:51]but he a lot took me there I remember just you know

[37:54]they take there by the Iraqis they take their bio they put

[37:56]over so I'm you're in the dark now and then I'm but

[38:00]I have a little you know flashlight thing so I'm reading and

[38:03]I just seemed like I was there I mean I could just

[38:07]picture the scene and of course the women in the back where

[38:11]I'm starting to wail as I get to the part which when

[38:12]I forgot that fools name who's the one that caught off his

[38:19]head shimmer I wish something that part when we started whaling you

[38:23]know going up and so I lost it it was it was

[38:27]done because it was exactly as he was saying it and it

[38:28]hasn't happened since i still bring my book and read it and

[38:32]it's awful now but I'm also beginning to hear it now that

[38:33]it's been you know 20 years I can kind of keep with

[38:39]it but that first experience was absolutely profound absolutely I couldn't I

[38:44]would love to I would love to be there an out for

[38:45]the to go a rock during that time were to make of

[38:51]the aura that's my next plan of Shalala why do we let

[38:58]vow demons lead and close our eyes when martyrs bleed oh what

[39:04]a sad sad thought to bear the Muslims think that foul is

[39:13]fair how sad to let the sate Andrew and let themselves be

[39:19]Satan's to the prophets grandson die in vain Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein

[39:29]our biggest problem is that we always see is the end of

[39:35]the story mashallah how about the beginning in the middle of the

[39:38]story what happened every single day in these people's lives mashallah the

[39:43]answer of course is obvious isn't it they prayed o Allah they

[39:52]swam around in this Quran o Allah they could see the divine

[39:56]guidance they were in tune to the spirit of prophet muhammad sallallahu

[40:02]alayhi wa sallam fatimata Zahra Layher salam imam ali an islam they

[40:13]live that every single day i'm looking forward to meeting them so

[40:20]when you stop to think of somebody like hazrat abbas ali ali

[40:26]salam in ali akbar allah Salaam because he wasn't at his full

[40:33]potential yet if he had a lived he probably would have been

[40:36]greater than the box mashallah i'm tumblr as a fighter mashallah as

[40:42]it was he put a hurt on them that is unprecedented mashallah

[40:53]so you know that kind of loyalty an insight while I was

[40:57]writing it you know I made a huge impression upon me mashallah

[41:03]you know I mean it's the thing of it is is that

[41:05]what freaks me out is that I'm stuck in this situation without

[41:14]a chance but you know we all are the mystic vision pierces

[41:22]time so view this vile oppressive crime usurpers don't bow willingly observe

[41:35]hussein observe ollie look at these modern years it's now they cling

[41:42]to powers golden cow Satan rules with cruel disdain Hussein Hussein Hussein

[41:51]Hussein a la semaine the one that I promised you know to

[42:01]seek help how does it say it you remember well how allows

[42:04]us to seek help to seek help in Salah and Saba but

[42:11]it is hard except for home except for those who are humble

[42:15]what does that mean I believe by humble humble but it means

[42:21]is that you intrinsically in intuitively and intellectually simultaneously know that you

[42:27]need Allah and he does not need you what you do is

[42:34]because it's masha'Allah period I didn't sit down somewhere Allah Allah who

[42:44]walked through last week because allah subhanho wa taala could have just

[42:48]just like that no thought whatsoever you don't have to be able

[42:54]to think period martyr them seriously and I've seen people like this

[42:59]I mean they they can't understand the prayer our Holy Father Ibrahim

[43:04]in the Salah T when the sukyohama Mayawati lillahi rabbil aalameen mashallah

[43:10]that don't even understand the xalapa let alone than the tsuki part

[43:14]surely my prayer and my sacrifice you know what do you have

[43:20]to sacrifice well sure you have to sacrifice your materialism mashallah you

[43:25]have to you have to sacrifice that you have to sacrifice your

[43:29]militarism you have to sacrifice your egotism you have to sacrifice your

[43:35]ethnocentrism all that has to go why because it simply says that

[43:39]you are supposed to submit to the God mashallah then you can

[43:46]do unto others as others as you would have others do unto

[43:49]you where did Jesus say are the the two great Commandments this

[43:52]is part of Christianity the two great Commandments thou shalt love the

[43:57]Lord thy God with our whole heart and their whole mind and

[43:59]I also and the second is like under the first thou shalt

[44:03]love thy neighbor as thyself how are you gonna do that without

[44:07]submitting to God really because my my my interests will get in

[44:15]the way of my religiosity you see what I'm saying these years

[44:22]it's kill for crown and purse at least Muslims could spit in

[44:28]and curse but many think the cost too high so they obey

[44:36]the one who lies they would not allow Hussein a drink and

[44:41]now they won't let Muslims think and those who think they call

[44:46]insane Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein the world's a Karbala a desert dry

[45:02]in carranza river flowing by in Ishta HUD's a water skin that's

[45:08]cool and filled four thirsty men where is abbas with what we

[45:13]need his canteen was pierced by shafts of greed our thirst is

[45:22]not from lack of rain Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein though martyrdom gave

[45:31]our boss wings thirst remains and griefs still stings but tears alone

[45:39]won't slake our thirst tears by themselves can make things worse who

[45:46]will stand who will cry to speak the truth to stand to

[45:56]die to cause a tyrants moon to wane Hussein Hussein Hussein Hussein

[46:06]Hussein hussain hussain hussain hussain hussain hussain hussain hussain hussain
