[2:06]of the almighty God be upon his pure and beloved messenger the

[2:12]peak of his creation the symbol of humanity the holy prophet Muhammad

[2:24]s and his Immaculate progeny of the bit peace be upon them

[2:33]is especially the leader of our time the awaited Savior IM may

[2:38]Allah hasten his reappearance and make us all amongst the sincere and

[2:43]dedicated servants respected brothers and sisters the prophet Sall in this profound

[3:22]statement Hadith states that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has divided wisdom to

[3:30]to 10 parts has been given nine out of 10 parts that's

[3:41]90% and all other creations all other people have been given one

[3:48]part this Hadith is narrated by famous Sunni Scholars has narrated this

[3:57]alalani has narrated this aabi has narrated this another interesting variation of

[4:05]this Hadith says the following this is narrated by the Sunni scholarb

[4:11]in his book he narrates this Hadith from the prophet sallallahu alai

[4:20]in the following manner IM aliam has nine out of 10 parts

[4:24]of wisdom and people have one part right in this Hadith the

[4:32]prophet States and even that one part that people have IMI shares

[4:37]them that's this is the profound wisdom of as the followers of

[4:48]it is incumbent on us to be familiar with his knowledge with

[4:53]his wisdom with his Sciences I know you're all educated you go

[4:57]to school you go to college you have professors you have scientific

[5:03]fields that you pursue the least that I can do to my

[5:06]Imam is to study his sciences and share it in your community

[5:11]take the wisdom of go to your teacher and tell your teachers

[5:17]what the IM taught us 14 centuries ago you have a teacher

[5:25]in philosophy economics biology you name it the Imam has fascinating contributions

[5:30]that's because the source of his knowledge is divine it's from Allah

[5:37]and hence he famously stated ask me before you lose me because

[5:42]I know about the paths of of the heavens more than the

[5:48]paths of the earth I know more about this universe and the

[5:52]secrets of this universe than this small planet that we live in

[5:57]that is the knowledge of and that is the wisdom of tonight

[6:05]I would like to share with you the contributions of the IM

[6:11]in multiple Fields yesterday We examined brief glimpses from the scientific knowledge

[6:20]of tonight we will continue that Journey so we can better appreciate

[6:27]the contributions of the Imam so we are inspired by his knowledge

[6:31]so we can trust his knowledge and once you fall in love

[6:34]with the knowledge of Ali you cannot go wrong you will feel

[6:40]a deep sense of purpose you will feel like the Imam is

[6:43]always by your side guiding you Allah is the one who guides

[6:49]us but Allah has tools and one of the greatest tools for

[6:51]Allah to guide us Isam the greatest area that the Imam contributed

[7:00]in is in the Holy Quran today we would not know the

[7:04]Quran if it weren't for the knowledge of the that Muslims have

[7:11]access to today is mainly from IM Abbas you will find many

[7:20]Sunni Scholars taking the T of the Quran from IB Abbas he's

[7:23]the cousin of the Prophet sallallah alai Al Abbas was the student

[7:31]student of IMI and most of the knowledge of the Quran he

[7:36]got from when you see the IM analyzing verses in the Holy

[7:41]Quran giving us completely New Perspectives it's truly fascinating one day IM

[7:48]was in meca was also there this was during the caliphate of

[7:56]Omar IM Ali notices that Omar walks up to the black stone

[8:02]if you've ever been to or you know that the black stone

[8:08]is fixed on one of the corners of the KA before IIM

[8:12]goes to the stone and he touches the stone or he kisses

[8:20]the stone and then he says the following statement he says I

[8:26]bear witness that you oh piece of stone cannot benefit me nor

[8:30]can you harm me but the only reason why I'm embracing you

[8:36]and touching you is because I saw do that so I'm just

[8:42]trying to follow his Sunnah otherwise I don't see any benefit in

[8:45]doing that that stone cannot harm me it cannot benefit me IM

[8:52]responded to him he interjected he told him and who told you

[8:58]it does not benefit you and it does not harm you oh

[9:00]it does he tells himass I know you never speak without evidence

[9:05]can you give me evidence from the Holy Quran he says yes

[9:08]I yes I'll share with you evidence from the Holy Quran the

[9:15]IM recited to him verse 172 Allah subhana tala States it's one

[9:40]of the profound verses in the Holy Quran but it's also a

[9:46]mysterious verse it's very vague what is Allah speaking about in this

[9:50]verse Allah subhana tala tells us in this verse that a covenant

[9:53]happened with the children of Adam when Allah subhah wa ta'ala assigned

[9:58]the children of Adam in their loins and their backs Allah subhana

[10:05]T had a conversation with them am I not your Lord this

[10:10]is before you were all created Allah had a conversation with your

[10:14]soul Allah revealed the existance of his soul to you and asked

[10:17]you am I not your lord you all said yes Allah says

[10:22]okay now I will try you I will bring you to this

[10:27]world to see if you stay true to this Covenant on the

[10:29]day of judgment don't say I did not know now this could

[10:34]be a very vague verse when did this happen sheds light on

[10:39]this beautiful verse he adds a new layer a new a new

[10:41]dimension to this verse the Imam told that when Allah made this

[10:50]Covenant with us he wrote our names on a piece of paper

[10:56]on a scroll and Allah subhah wa ta'ala gave those Scrolls to

[11:00]an angel that angel today is in the black stone in Al

[11:05]and this black stone testifies on the day of judgment who went

[11:10]to Haj and who worshiped Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that's why if you've

[11:14]ever done the TA who here has gone to the Hajj and

[11:19]done the TA you've done the TA right have you noticed that

[11:21]when you reach the black stone because that's where the TA starts

[11:24]you make seven rounds so anytime you get to the new round

[11:29]have you noticed that people speak to the black stone they wave

[11:32]to the black stone why do we do that this is the

[11:36]Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi Al and it's must to say

[11:39]to the Blackstone I have fulfilled my am which am the am

[11:46]is in the world of particles before you were born when Allah

[11:52]subhana wa tala spoke to your souls Allah made a covenant with

[11:54]you an am I'll bring you to D don't forget about me

[11:59]don't go and worship the world worship me the black stone will

[12:01]testify for you on the day of judgment that you worshiped Allah

[12:05]subhanahu wa'ta'ala how would you have this knowledge my dear brothers and

[12:09]sisters without now I know what many of you are wondering none

[12:15]of us remember this incident of Allah speaking to our soul that's

[12:19]part of the trial however the effect of that conversation with Allah

[12:25]is in your F you've heard of the F right the f

[12:29]is that internal disposition that internal compass that points you to Allah

[12:34]where did Allah give you the to recognize him to know right

[12:41]from wrong it was in that world of particles when Allah spoke

[12:44]to your soul that's why comments here he says none of us

[12:49]remember it but the of Allah is ingrained in your mind in

[12:58]your subconscious mind that's why in the subconscious mind of every human

[13:03]being there is the potential and the tendency to believe in a

[13:07]higher power to believe in Allah subhah wa ta'ala such that even

[13:10]scientists who are atheists they testify that the human brain has been

[13:18]programmed to believe in God to believe in a higher power that

[13:20]all happened in the world of particles and the subconscious mind is

[13:24]extremely important most of the decis the decisions that you make they're

[13:29]they're based on your subconscious mind not your conscious mind therefore what

[13:34]you feed your subconscious mind is extremely important what you expose yourself

[13:43]to is extremely important do you know how much bits of information

[13:48]your subconscious mind can take in per second I don't think there's

[13:53]any processor out there in the world that can do that your

[13:58]subconscious mind can take 20 million bits of information per second whereas

[14:04]your conscious mind can only take 40 bits 40 versus 20 million

[14:10]that's why the subconscious is so important that's why Islam wants you

[14:14]to hear the Adan every day to pray every day why because

[14:16]you're strengthening your subconscious mind and that's how the world of advertising

[14:21]works why do these companies want you to see their logo as

[14:24]much as possible they'll pay millions of dollars right and that halftime

[14:31]of the Super Bowl just so people see the logo see the

[14:33]company name because they are inserting their logo into your subconscious mind

[14:38]one day you'll eventually buy their product that's how the world of

[14:44]advertising works but no one can outsmart Allah subhana wa tala when

[14:47]it comes to the world of advertising Allah already did that before

[14:51]you were born he stored his in your subconscious mind who other

[14:57]than after the prophet Al can give you such knowledge the contributions

[15:03]of in The quranic Sciences are unmatched and every single Muslim is

[15:11]indebted to the knowledge of without him we would not understand the

[15:14]Quran properly that is one area of contribution the second area of

[15:19]contribution that I would like to share with you tonight is one

[15:25]that's truly fascinating it is the contributions of IM Ali in the

[15:31]world of Economics today one of the most important aspects of Our

[15:36]Lives is the economy people vote based on the economic conditions people

[15:41]care about the economy the stock goes up the stock goes down

[15:46]everyone's affected by it the economy is one of the most important

[15:50]dimensions in our lives but today we find despite our technological advancements

[15:59]despite our greater access to Natural Resources you still have billions of

[16:06]people who are stuck in poverty today the world with all its

[16:09]power with all its colleges and universities and governments has not been

[16:14]able to solve the crisis of poverty do you know my dear

[16:20]brothers and sisters that nearly a billion people a billion people three

[16:25]times the population of the US live on less than $2 a

[16:31]a day can you imagine we go shop left and right we

[16:34]go to a restaurant easily spend a couple of hundred with our

[16:39]friends alhamdulillah may Allah increase the blessings that's fine but I want

[16:42]you to know that there are a bill there's a billion people

[16:45]out there who live on less than $2 a day and half

[16:51]of the world population 4 billion people they live on less than

[16:55]$6 a day that's the crisis of poverty all of this poverty

[17:02]is killing how many children per day do you know how many

[17:04]children die every single day because of poverty according to UNICEF which

[17:10]belongs to the United Nations every single day 22,000 children die around

[17:18]the world from poverty that is 15 children per minute every 4

[17:25]seconds a child is dying because of poverty the world today has

[17:31]failed the poor with our with all of our Science and Technology

[17:34]there are still people who go hungry there are still people dying

[17:39]from malnutrition and starvation one of the greatest contributions of alam whom

[17:46]we are commemorating tonight is that the Imam was able to eliminate

[17:50]poverty only within 4 years as he was ruling he eliminated poverty

[17:59]from his areas not a single person would sleep hungry at night

[18:05]in the government of how did the Imam achieved that I will

[18:08]share with you some steps that the Imam took to eliminate poverty

[18:14]and this is very important for us to know so we can

[18:16]appreciate the legacy of number one the Imam instructed his Governors not

[18:27]to be obsessed with with charging taxes but rather to encourage people

[18:33]in their society to develop the land to start new business opportunities

[18:40]IM aliam has a beautiful Treatise to his Governor Malik he sent

[18:45]him to Egypt the Imam tells Malik alar in this Treatise he

[18:53]tells him he tells him Malik I want you to be more

[19:05]concerned about developing the Land Development projects than levying taxes and then

[19:14]the Imam gives him interesting advice the Imam says because at the

[19:17]end of the day if you want taxes to fund your government

[19:20]the more there are business opportunities in your country the more there's

[19:25]development the more you'll get taxes anyway so don't go and suffocate

[19:33]people with a lot of taxes the Imam encouraged his Governors to

[19:36]lower taxes and to encourage their people their constituents to start businesses

[19:43]to develop the Land Development projects that was one way that the

[19:51]Imam did in order to combat poverty and in the government of

[19:53]the Imam it was very easy to establish a business that's one

[19:56]factor that gives you a good healthy economy Unfortunately today the Muslim

[20:01]world has abandoned the teachings of Islam Today in some Muslim countries

[20:07]it's the most difficult to start a business I don't know how

[20:14]many connections you need in some countries and that Minister and this

[20:17]Minister and his cousin and his third cousin and his fifth cousin

[20:19]have to sign and then you have to run for two years

[20:23]pleasing this mayor and bribing that mayor and this person just so

[20:26]they give you a permit to start a business that's the reality

[20:31]in some Muslim countries today so-called Muslim countries come to the West

[20:35]it's much easier to start a business that's why economically the West

[20:39]has prospered the West has implemented the economic policies of Islam more

[20:45]than the Muslim world and that's the sad reality that we are

[20:49]living today taught all Muslim Governors encourage people to start development projects

[20:57]in your territories don't be so obsess obsessed with taxes and fees

[21:02]you'll get the taxes don't worry about it by encouraging development projects

[21:07]the Imam eliminated poverty that was one strategy that he used the

[21:14]second strategy is that the Imam Alam created a welfare state the

[21:17]IM tells Malik Asar there are people in your community they're stuck

[21:22]in poverty there are people who have disabilities there are people who

[21:26]have chronic illnesses there are women who have no one to spend

[21:30]on them she could be a widow a divorce her husband is

[21:35]not spending on her I want you to fix them all a

[21:38]salary from the Muslim treasury we find truly the first government that

[21:44]implemented such an amazing welfare system as the government of Al later

[21:50]A Thousand Years Later these Western countries started the welfare state but

[21:56]14 centuries ago the Imam eliminated ated severe poverty by taking care

[22:02]of these people and sponsoring them who cared about disabled people before

[22:05]the government of the prophet and IM Ali peace be upon them

[22:10]they were considered as people who were worthless in society unfortunately because

[22:14]of the ignorance at the time suddenly Islam comes sponsors them and

[22:19]Islam gives them so much respect such that the Hadith States one

[22:23]of the best Sak that you can give one of the best

[22:27]acts of Charity that you can give is to go to someone

[22:31]who's struggling with a disability and say a nice word to them

[22:34]uplift their Spirits that's one of the best donations that you can

[22:41]give you find that in the government of so that's one way

[22:45]that the Imam used to eliminate poverty another tactic another step that

[22:52]the Imam took in eliminating poverty was to save resources today you

[23:00]have so many countries and people and institutions and nonprofits advocating you

[23:06]know to go green and to respect the environment and to save

[23:12]the resources that we have but 14 centuries ago who thought along

[23:15]these lines you find IM teaching his government employees not to waste

[23:24]an ounce of resources in his letter to his Governors you know

[23:28]what the Imam said says the IM says when you write me

[23:35]a letter because he's Theif so how do the governors communicate with

[23:38]the Khalifa they constantly sent him letters back and forth the Imam

[23:43]says sharpen your pens why sharpen your pens so you can fit

[23:51]in more writing in a page sharpen your pens and don't leave

[23:59]any Gap gaps between the lines and get to the point I

[24:06]don't want any letter to start with five paragraphs this that all

[24:10]these titles I don't want that you get to the point when

[24:13]you write me letters save space save save paper that's that's one

[24:19]way that he used to eliminate poverty he saved so much resources

[24:23]he would give it to those who were in need and that's

[24:27]truly amazing and fascinating my dear de brothers and sisters that thought

[24:31]at this level 14 centuries ago another strategy that the Imam used

[24:39]is that he would go to the market in kufa and he

[24:43]would encourage the merchants and the Traders and the businessmen to reduce

[24:49]their working hours now you would think wait a minute working less

[24:52]that's going to harm the economy no that actually helps the economy

[24:57]in facts France WR this from 1998 to 2002 they reduced the

[25:06]working week from 39 hours to 35 hours guess what happened in

[25:11]those four years 98 to 2002 simply by reducing the work hours

[25:16]by 5 hours they created 350,000 jobs and implemented this 14 centuries

[25:26]ago the Imam told his community to work hard but don't be

[25:32]Workaholics don't be in the market all day long buying and selling

[25:35]go to your family go to your spirituality today one of the

[25:42]reasons why we are very stressed out as a nation the levels

[25:45]of stress today in America are crazy many people are stressed out

[25:50]anxiety loneliness depression chronic depression Suicidal Thoughts there is so much stress

[25:59]on us to work hard and hard and hard IM would go

[26:03]to the market he would encourage them he wouldn't force people but

[26:06]he'd encouraged them go home you've already done your business Allah will

[26:10]put Baraka in it don't you want to go see your wife

[26:13]and children go and spend some time with them I tell you

[26:18]it's very sad that some of us in our families in our

[26:20]lives we work so hard 18 hours a day I know people

[26:24]in the community who work 18 hour 18 hours a day I

[26:27]don't know when they sleep when they eat one day they see

[26:29]their family I really don't know but I do know one thing

[26:37]once there was a brother who was working very hard 18 hours

[26:39]a day he was working on his business for years one day

[26:45]I saw him he was extremely exhausted I told him what's the

[26:50]matter with you why are you so exhausted say I've been working

[26:53]18 hours a day 18 hours a day why are you working

[26:58]18 hours a day alhamdulillah you're doesn't appreciate what you're doing your

[28:00]daughter that you're killing yourself for she's not appreciating it have faith

[28:06]in Allah subhana wa taala your daughter needs you more in the

[28:09]house your compassion your love your guidance your protection she needs that

[28:14]more in the house than you working 18 hours a day the

[28:18]Imam encouraged people to work hard don't be lazy but don't kill

[28:22]yourself don't be a workaholic that's not what your family wants my

[28:28]dear brothers and sisters your family needs your heart and compassion and

[28:32]wisdom and guidance more than they need your money more than they

[28:35]need your business so through this method we also find that the

[28:42]Imam was able to combat poverty and create so many opportunities for

[28:47]people and this is something the Imam achieved my dear brothers and

[28:50]sisters in his government he was able to achieve that and that's

[28:56]truly a miracle four years only four years and those four years

[29:02]were plagued with Civil Wars the people of Basra they waged a

[29:05]war against him the battle of the J mua waged Wars against

[29:10]him the wars against him the IM was surrounded with trouble and

[29:14]problem and his own people disobeying him yet the Imam was able

[29:18]to eliminate severe poverty that's something that tonight we must stand and

[29:22]honor as the legacy of and today the world needs these lessons

[29:28]and I invite you to study these lessons and go out there

[29:32]in society in the name of IM aliam bring these solutions to

[29:36]Poverty we Muslims have to be the pioneers of bringing Solutions Allah

[29:40]gave you all the solutions that you need in the Holy Quran

[29:44]and in the school of so you find that this is a

[29:48]fascinating contribution the Imam was truly a genius when it came to

[29:57]giving Solutions out of nowhere problems would be popping up and brought

[30:01]to him and the Imam instantly on the spot would give you

[30:06]a solution I know yesterday we shared a math problem that inspired

[30:09]many of you I'll share with you another mathematical solution that the

[30:15]Imam brought that's truly fascinating for those who love math I know

[30:18]some people they hate math so maybe this is not for you

[30:23]but it's still interesting by the way there are some very complex

[30:27]mathematical equations that the Imam gave those require a math class with

[30:32]a board so I'm not going to give you those difficult ones

[30:36]but here's a very interesting one just to show you the contributions

[30:39]of the Imam to all these sciences and how he came up

[30:45]with Solutions so one day three people come to the Imam oh

[30:48]Hassan we've got a problem they're fighting what's the matter with you

[30:52]why are you fighting they Inherited property from their father father and

[31:01]objects from their father now they need to divide the inheritance one

[31:07]of the objects that they were inheriting was 17 camels one of

[31:13]them has half of the share the second one has a third

[31:19]of the share and the third one has a ninth of the

[31:22]share now where's the problem they don't want to divide a camel

[31:29]in half each one wants a whole complete camel so if you

[31:32]have 17 camels and you want to give the first guy his

[31:36]half of the share how much do you need to give him

[31:40]what's half of 17 eight and a half well you can't give

[31:42]him eight and a half camels they're fighting sharing is caring share

[31:48]it half of it no no no I want a full camel

[31:50]sometimes I really feel bad for the Imam having to go through

[31:55]these problems of people and to bring them Solutions but they were

[32:00]fighting the IM says it's okay stop fighting I'll solve the crisis

[32:03]for you the IM brought one of his camels and he told

[32:08]them here I will lend you a camel borrow it from me

[32:10]and then let's divide the inheritance according to your share and let's

[32:17]see what happens so they had 17 the Imam gives them how

[32:20]many one so now how many camels do they have 18 the

[32:25]first guy who gets his half how much do you give him

[32:27]nine that's half of 18 y take your nine camels Allah let's

[32:33]come to the second guy his share is a third what's a

[32:40]third of 18 18 divide by three six y take your six

[32:44]camels and go Allah the last guy his share was one nth

[32:48]of The Inheritance what's 1 nth of 18 two so he took

[32:55]his two camels now let's add them up the first guy had

[33:01]nine the second guy had how much six what's 9 + 6

[33:03]15 and the last one had how much two what's 15 +

[33:09]2 17 y you got your 17 now the last one the

[33:13]18th it's mine I gave it to you y I'm going to

[33:18]take it back problem solved this is the genius of I know

[33:25]some of you tonight will not sleep trying to figure out how

[33:28]the Imam added all that up and where did this magical camel

[33:31]just come from to solve the problem but that's when you're dealing

[33:37]with you're just dealing at at another level Subhan Allah truly the

[33:42]imam's contributions my dear brothers and sisters are fascinating amazing let's study

[33:49]the life of this great man and finally the last contribution I

[33:52]want to share with you tonight is the contribution of IM Ali

[33:57]to the world of family and his commitment to his family and

[34:03]how he was a pillar in his family you know many times

[34:06]when we are inspired by Imam Hussein Imam Hassan you're inspired by

[34:10]zanab that hero of carala many times we forget that IM Ali

[34:19]is the one who raised the most yes Lady Fatima raised them

[34:24]but she was martyred at a young age they were children when

[34:28]they lost their mother but the one who was there always guiding

[34:31]them strengthening them preparing them was IM Ali raised the most beautiful

[34:41]the most Pious the purest family in the history of humankind that's

[34:46]one of the greatest contributions of the Imam and he was invested

[34:49]in his children early on when they are young we have the

[34:56]ve very famous beautiful story of the IM teaching his daughter Z

[35:03]how to count the Imam told her an Arabic say one so

[35:11]she said one the told her now say two she refused to

[35:17]say two Baba say one she said one okay now say two

[35:19]she would not say two finally the Imam asked her Zab why

[35:23]is it that when I tell you to say one you say

[35:27]it but when I tell you to say two you don't look

[35:29]at the response of Zab who's been raised by Ali and Fa

[35:34]she told him father how can I say to with the tongue

[35:39]that said one Allah that's another level now that's in young zanab

[35:43]imagine zanab is like 2 years old at this time she's learning

[35:45]how to speak how to count and she gives us lessons ined

[35:52]that some adults in our society have not understood the Imam was

[35:58]very committed to this family and the my dear brothers and sisters

[36:01]they teach us at a very young age start with your children

[36:05]today we have a crisis in many communities around the world we're

[36:09]losing many of our children many of our children are going up

[36:14]they have a crisis in their identity they don't feel any connection

[36:17]with their Salah with their Quran it's my fault the parent when

[36:24]my children were young I did not plant those Seeds of Love

[36:28]for the Quran for the Salah we underestimate our children we think

[36:33]they're young inshallah when they grow older we'll teach them IM beautifully

[36:37]teaches us at what at which age to start speaking to our

[36:42]children the Imam States when your child becomes three children who are

[36:49]three now they're speaking full sentences their brain is developed teach them

[36:55]teach them about Allah every day every day my dear brothers and

[37:01]sisters if you want your children inshallah to be the best children

[37:04]every day invest at least an hour or two of your time

[37:09]with your children who are three speak to them about Allah let

[37:12]them know with their small little Minds the attributes of Allah be

[37:17]creative the Hadith States one hour of contemplation you sit you brainstorm

[37:21]how to teach your children is worth more than 70 years of

[37:25]Salah because that's how you guide your children I know children at

[37:30]the age of three might have difficulty understanding God and the concept

[37:34]of God and who God is right they have all these questions

[37:39]they have these childish images of God in their mind but that's

[37:43]okay with your creativity you can teach them you can educate them

[37:46]I remember once my son you know was learning about Allah subhana

[37:51]tala the attributes of God and he was learning that God is

[37:56]always with us and he's always watching us so be careful what

[37:59]you say what you do so I remember one night he was

[38:03]about to sleep he couldn't sleep that night he kept talking he

[38:07]went he went back and forth from his room to our room

[38:11]Baba what's the matter with you he's like Baba honestly I'm scared

[38:14]I told him why Habibi he's like God seeing us without eyes

[38:18]that's pretty spooky and I I I can't sleep tonight now this

[38:23]is a challenge your children will ask you sometimes tough questions like

[38:28]that immediately you you have to be ready give an give them

[38:31]an analogy that will put them at peace I told him Baba

[38:36]close your eyes right now he closed his eyes I told him

[38:38]can you see your room right now like where your bed is

[38:41]he's like yes I can see it I'm like where's the closet

[38:43]he's like there there it's on the left where are the drawers

[38:47]there he described to me his room in our room he was

[38:52]not in his room he closed his eyes and he described to

[38:56]me his room I told him okay now open your eyes I

[38:58]told him how did you describe to me the room and you

[39:02]told me yes yes I see the closet it's to my left

[39:05]your eyes were closed how did you see it it's like well

[39:07]Baba I know of it I have knowledge of it so I

[39:10]know of it I told him just like right now you saw

[39:14]your room while your eyes were closed Allah subhah wa ta'ala knows

[39:17]of the whole universe and he has knowledge of the entire universe

[39:20]even though he has no eyes he went and he slept peacefully

[39:25]that night you have to be creative my dear brothers and sisters

[39:28]as parents be creative in teaching and educating your children this is

[39:34]the investment that IM aliam teaches you to invest in and he

[39:40]invested in the best investment in the history of humankind when you

[39:44]see the guidance of for his children it's truly fascinating always be

[39:50]creative today our teenagers have questions sometimes they'll struggle they don't want

[39:55]to pray you have to come up with effect Ive strategies to

[39:59]motivate them to pray one day a father came to my office

[40:05]years ago he told me say my 14-year-old teenage daughter is addicted

[40:09]to her phone she cannot get her hands off this phone 247

[40:14]WhatsApp Tik Tok Instagram Snapchat she's addicted to it she has no

[40:22]time for anything else now we pray at home together Jama and

[40:25]it's very nice to pray with your family Jama at home always

[40:28]gather your family pray together and then you the father the mother

[40:33]say two minutes of inspiring words to your children it's a peaceful

[40:37]moment so he says she would come and pray with us but

[40:39]I could tell she's not interested she's only doing it to please

[40:44]me the father but she's really not into it one day I

[40:47]called her to pray with us she came and she seemed frustrated

[40:52]she was you know on her social media she did not want

[40:56]to pray and I could tell that she was struggling like she

[40:59]hated praying with me that day so he came up with a

[41:06]creative strategy on the spot to motivate her he told her Baba

[41:09]I have a suggestion today instead of praying on the TBA on

[41:14]the I want you to do suud and pray on your iPhone

[41:20]she looked at me shocked what what do you mean I'm not

[41:27]going to worship the Ione we worship Allah subhana wa tala I

[41:31]told her Baba it only makes sense for you to do suud

[41:36]on your iPhone because the second you get a notification on your

[41:39]iPhone you jump to answer it but Allah sends you five notifications

[41:43]every single day you don't care so what I see is you're

[41:52]worshiping your iPhone anyway so in your Salah just stay true to

[41:53]that and just do suud on the iPhone he says she froze

[42:01]not a word she went back to her room after she prayed

[42:04]of course not on the iPhone she did pray on the turba

[42:07]she went to her room half an hour later she came carrying

[42:10]her iPhone she brought it to me she told me Baba keep

[42:15]this a week passes by and the iPhone was with the father

[42:21]a week later she comes she tells him Baba can I can

[42:24]you give me the iPhone I just need some urgent things to

[42:26]do but I want to thank you the last week of my

[42:31]life has been the most peaceful spiritual week of my life I

[42:34]never realized how much distracted I was now I have time for

[42:39]myself for my spirituality for my parents for my work for my

[42:43]studies I have now time for everything it's these creative strategies my

[42:48]dear brothers and sisters that will save your families and you need

[42:51]to start when they're young and that's what we see in the

[42:58]legacy of finally my dear brothers and sisters we cannot conclude the

[43:09]discussion on the legacy of without being inspired by his words of

[43:15]and really that's also one of his greatest contributions when the Imam

[43:20]just takes you out of this planet he takes you to the

[43:25]heavens where your soul begins to fly towards ah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[43:29]I'll share with you with this narration and I invite you to

[43:35]remember this every single day of your life Abu d one of

[43:38]the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi Al one day he was

[43:41]sitting this is years after IM aliam he was sitting with other

[43:47]Companions and they were discussing this question which companion of the Prophet

[43:52]is the best of companions like who's the best companion he said

[43:56]they mentioned all these different names when it was my turn to

[44:02]say who the best companion was I told them if you ask

[44:08]me I'll tell you the best companion was Al they told me

[44:11]why back it up what did you see from him he told

[44:15]them I don't know about you guys but I'll tell you what

[44:21]I personally saw in the life of Ali one day at night

[44:23]I was around the house of Ali Talib and the IM was

[44:28]with us suddenly I realized Ali was gone he went missing I

[44:33]feared for him did he get lost maybe in those Palm farms

[44:36]in the darkness of the night maybe he got lost so I

[44:41]went searching for Al he just disappeared he says I went in

[44:47]the darkness of that farm trying to see if there is any

[44:52]trace of when suddenly I heard a faint voice coming from a

[44:56]palm tree I went toward that area in the darkness of the

[45:00]night I heard someone crying with such a sad voice someone was

[45:05]saying the following lines of [Music] Dua oh Allah if I am

[45:19]living a long life in your disobedience [Music] oh Allah if my

[45:40]sin is big in my records the books that we have the

[45:44]records that we have to face on the day of judgment oh

[45:45]Allah if I see these huge sins here you look at the

[45:50]inspiration from this Dua [Music] oh Allah if I have all these

[46:10]sins I still never sever My Hope from you oh Allah I

[46:13]know that you'll forgive me as big as I as my sin

[46:18]can be Allah I will never never stop hoping in your mercy

[46:22]that is the hope that Al gives for Humanity that says I

[46:29]went to this voice I wanted to see who is it and

[46:32]then I noticed that this is all alone at night he's reading

[46:38]these duas these verses of Supplication Abu D says at that point

[46:43]I tried to hide myself so he doesn't notice that I'm watching

[46:46]him he says I saw Ali in the middle of the night

[46:50]he prayed he supplicated and then he broke into tears like a

[46:55]mother who's lost her child and then he said the following [Music]

[47:20]oh Allah when I see your mercy I see that my sin

[47:24]is very small but when I look at your greatness and and

[47:30]whom I violated I see my sin is very [Music] big [Music]

[48:04]oh Allah woe upon me if I see sins that I've committed

[48:09]in my book and I've forgotten it but Allah has counted it

[48:14]on the day of judgment what will I do Ya Allah what

[48:16]will I do on the day of judgment if I have to

[48:19]meet my sins and I never repented from them the Imam is

[48:21]teaching us to repent brothers and sisters he says the Imam said

[48:28]those words and then he cried and cried and cried until he

[48:31]fell unconscious I went to touch him he felt his body felt

[48:40]like a dead body so I thought that has died I said

[48:41]I ran to the house of she was behind the door I

[48:51]told her your husband Ali has died she said why what did

[48:53]you see I explained to her what I saw she said no

[48:58]Abu Ali is not dead every single night he falls unconscious from

[49:01]his love of Allah and the fear of Allah that's Ali he

[49:06]says I took some water I went to him I sprayed some

[49:10]water on his face Al regained his Consciousness he said I felt

[49:14]bad for him I told him why do you do this to

[49:18]yourself I have mercy on yourself I feel pity I feel bad

[49:22]for you you know what the Imam said to him he told

[49:25]him you feel bad for me what would you do on the

[49:51]day of judgment if you see me that I have to stand

[49:55]for my trial and I have to stand before Allah subhah wa

[50:00]ta'ala believe me you'll have more pity on Me on the day

[50:03]of judgment the Imam thereby he's teaching us to be serious and

[50:08]ready for the day of judgment with these powerful words now take

[50:12]your hearts to the house of IM Ali throughout his life after

[50:20]the prophet sallallah he was in pain in severe pain but in

[50:27]these three nights Imam Ali was at peace physically he was in

[50:35]a lot of pain his head was struck the poison was giving

[50:39]him immense pain but the IM was happy because he knew that

[50:45]soon he would be going back to Allah the IM knew that

[50:51]he had achieved his victory he had missed he wanted to go

[50:55]back too to meet he wanted to go back to the mercy

[51:02]of Allah the IM was at peace on these days come now

[51:04]to the house of the Imam he narrates to us what happened

[51:11]on that night he said I came to the house of they

[51:13]were not really allowing anyone to enter Because the Imam was in

[51:18]a difficult situation was one of the companions of IM Ali so

[51:28]says I entered the house I saw my on the ground Al

[51:36]ASB says the im's head was wrapped with a yellow piece of

[51:42]cloth he said I could not tell which was more yellow the

[51:44]cloth or his face because he had lost so much blood on
