[1:48]now the body is going to be transported to the south of

[1:53]lebanon and alhamdulillah i spoke with her father he's trying very hard

[1:59]to keep in good spirits in these difficult times trying to maintain

[2:06]his patience and he's a lovely man very honorable person and alhamdulillah

[2:12]i spoke to him and said that the whole community is behind

[2:17]you and people from all different backgrounds and different schools of the

[2:23]religion of islam are all ready to help in absolutely every way

[2:27]possible we should not be affected by fringe elements here and there

[2:31]who try and disturb the peace generally everybody has come together and

[2:37]shown the best of morals as would be expected from those who

[2:40]follow the path of the prophet peace be upon him and his

[2:43]family and i'm pleased to announce that in collaboration with the zahra

[2:47]trust as you know i had served as ambassador of the zahra

[2:54]trust and alhamdulillah they continue to do great work looking after the

[2:57]families of those who maybe poor or orphans or in need alhamdulillah

[3:02]if you go to my instagram page on the official instagram page

[3:09]on my facebook page you'll see that the link is there for

[3:16]all donations towards helping the family and the fathers that especially asada

[3:20]kajaria where you donate towards that where aya's name remains alive even

[3:28]if her body is six feet under the ground that bit of

[3:31]charity that's in her name continues to keep giving so for all

[3:36]those who want to donate and all those who would like to

[3:41]support as i said if you go to my instagram page or

[3:42]you go to the facebook page the official said ahmad akshawani pages

[3:48]then you'll see the link is there inshallah for the zahara trust

[3:53]and then everybody can donate and the options are there to donate

[3:56]towards the family directly to donate towards causes in ayah's name and

[4:03]this is wonderful to see the whole community people of different backgrounds

[4:07]um shia and non-shia are coming together and supporting each other like

[4:13]to say it said go on uh say the ammar official on

[4:17]instagram the link will be there because we all want asada kajarya

[4:21]to be in our names when we die so let's do this

[4:23]for sister aya and her family but saying that right into the

[4:26]q a um this question comes in and it says 70 verse

[4:38]4 says so it says the angels and the spirit are sent

[4:45]to him in a day the measure of which is 50 000

[4:50]years can the said explain to the viewership time dilation particularly between

[4:56]our material world and the word of barzah there are different times

[5:01]which are apportioned in relation to the day of judgment where the

[5:06]judgment and accountability can literally be the length of a salah that

[5:14]you pray or it could be 50 000 yes someone says that

[5:18]in the hadiths of for example the holy prophet peace be upon

[5:20]his family and going towards him you'll find that they say that's

[5:27]a believer his whole judgment may be finished in the time it

[5:31]takes you to finish salah i ask you when you're on top

[5:36]form minhal i'm not saying when you're on one of those days

[5:38]when you're praying like you're driving a ferrari if you want top

[5:44]form how long would it take you to pray three four minutes

[5:49]three four minutes others might say five six minutes someone who's a

[5:53]believer his hisab can finish that quick on the day of judgment

[5:55]someone who is the worst of the disbelievers this hasab can finish

[5:59]that quickly literally over an afternoon others you may find that as

[6:05]we mentioned in our lectures there are stations one place in the

[6:09]quran it talks about the day of judgement 1000 years another place

[6:11]says 50 000 yes there may be for example 50 stations they

[6:16]have to pass if it is the maximum number where you've got

[6:20]the longest day of judgment if you say 50 stations that's a

[6:24]thousand years each okay but for the best of the best and

[6:26]the worst of the worst it should be over in that short

[6:30]time span ascent uh this next question comes in and it says

[6:35]can we donate our organs once we have passed away what is

[6:38]the ruling on this from sister kulthum in nepal depends uh on

[6:43]which of the maharaja you follow you will find for example bless

[6:50]his song allowed organ donation in one's lifetime and after one's death

[6:58]lengthen his life allows organ donation in one's lifetime however after one's

[7:02]death it may be a bit more difficult although the one who

[7:07]might be implementing the world will not have sin on them if

[7:10]it was there written in the world but you find that with

[7:14]him it is more difficult than compared to for example following or

[7:19]indeed who make allowances for organs to be donated after once died

[7:24]during one's lifetime yeah then a person is allowed to donate organs

[7:30]allah is also puts conditions concerning if a muslim life is at

[7:35]stake and so on whether one can take from a non-muslim these

[7:38]can all be found within his rulings this next question says in

[7:58]some schools of islamic law and some non-shia schools they have salah

[8:04]what does mean for example that body is not in front of

[8:11]you but you pray salat and may it for it so for

[8:14]example in najashi when he died in abyssinia there was this opinion

[8:19]that the holy prophet prayed salat and made it for him but

[8:20]najashi died in abyssinia and the holy prophet was in medina we

[8:25]believe that the prophet did read that dua for him not a

[8:29]salat because we believe the body has to be present and so

[8:33]it can be seen in other schools of islam but not in

[8:38]the shia school may be recited now this next question comes in

[8:41]and it says what distance if me and my wife are praying

[8:46]in the same room must there be between us if she's praying

[8:53]for example in front of you five meter let's say even to

[9:02]the sides five meter has to be a distance so if i'm

[9:06]in a room and say my wife is in the room if

[9:10]my wife is just a bitter ahead of me a meter two

[9:13]meters cannot be done has to be a five meter distance distance

[9:18]okay however if when she prays behind me she can be directly

[9:22]behind me like you know if you're leading salaam your wife prays

[9:27]behind you i say that i'm just praying right behind the prophet

[9:30]but if you are praying your wife is for example in another

[9:35]side of the room there has to be a 5 meter gap

[9:37]now this next question comes in this question really touched me when

[9:42]i when i read it it says i would like to be

[9:46]anonymous my question is related to assisted death or euthanasia i am

[9:50]a woman with a disability has no function in my hands legs

[9:53]in addition to breathing on a ventilator from for over a decade

[9:58]i don't have parents i'm divorced but i have two adult kids

[10:02]who have been living with me and taking care of me i

[10:04]fear of losing my cognitive abilities would i be an exception in

[10:10]faith to accept doctors suggesting of assisted death first and foremost we're

[10:16]your family we here are your family so don't worry alhamdulillah that

[10:21]people are able to join us and they're able to benefit insha

[10:25]allah and we're all one family here from imam hussain tv to

[10:29]all of our viewers we are a family and yes sister may

[10:34]allah definitely looks like she's been through a number of trials and

[10:39]a number of tribulations but that would not be sufficient for one

[10:43]to have an assisted or a death similar to that which is

[10:50]known as euthanasia that assisted death or euthanasia is completely prohibited when

[10:57]the quran mentions home and do not kill yourselves this is seen

[11:03]as a method of one killing themselves has written our time and

[11:08]so therefore a person cannot say well you know what i'm going

[11:11]through so many trials sometimes as i mentioned in my lectures that

[11:15]those trials that we go through they may be trials that purify

[11:19]us they may be trials that are test from god as to

[11:24]how much faith we can maintain in the middle of tribulations the

[11:27]same way nabi tribulations with his health likewise we can see tribulations

[11:34]with our health yeah so my dear sister active killing passive active

[11:39]euthanasia passive euthanasia assisted this is not allowed in sheer now this

[11:43]next question comes in and it says my question is if our

[11:48]merger is dead do we have to choose a new one who

[11:51]is alive and if yes how can we choose a new one

[11:56]i read a little of different books of samaraja but don't find

[11:59]the big difference i don't know how to choose and thank you

[12:02]saying amma for your lectures um so what what she's saying to

[12:07]say is basically um if for example i'm following a major i'm

[12:10]bad at i'm following america and um you know suddenly that dies

[12:15]of mine he dies and uh i'm stuck now do i follow

[12:23]a new merger do i can i follow my old marjah but

[12:25]then if something new comes up i have to refer to someone

[12:29]else um so um i i think that's basically basically all she's

[12:33]saying and her name is sister noor from the ivory coast ayatollah

[12:45]used to say on areas you've already implemented you stay on those

[12:52]areas areas you haven't implemented you move on to a new marcher

[12:58]okay previous olama had said no chance fatih his dead fatih is

[13:04]dead that's it the reason you do chuck lead is that you're

[13:06]saying there's a fatigue but the is dead so how does that

[13:07]work fair enough but there's a caveat to that discussion said you

[13:16]can stay on the one you were following all right so allah

[13:22]said that's on the things you've done already you stay and the

[13:24]other things you can go with someone else you have to take

[13:27]the opinion of the who's alive on this issue so if for

[13:37]example someone tells me marcia x said that you can follow a

[13:41]dead martyr but he's dead becomes circular so i can't take his

[13:44]opinion if marjah x said you can follow a dead marcher so

[13:51]your reason for following marjah x is what is because of his

[13:57]opinion yeah and yet you find that maja is dead you cannot

[14:00]take that opinion you have to take the opinion of the marjah

[14:03]who's alive and the most learned so if you take out he

[14:06]says you could stay on the one you're following if you take

[14:09]out as the muslim and if you are as the most learned

[14:13]more than the ones who are previous then you may have to

[14:17]follow out allah okay unless you believe that the ones who are

[14:21]previous are more learned so the major caveat is that you have

[14:25]to take the opinion of the who's alive about following a dead

[14:29]major not following the opinion of a dead merger on whether you

[14:32]could follow a dead margin because that becomes circle uh this one

[14:36]next question says is there any hadith like this had there been

[14:42]a prophet after me it would have been the second caliph there

[14:45]is a huge debate going on between shias and sunnis regarding the

[14:48]hadith currently please provide evidence if possible yes and sony literature can

[14:57]be found okay but that god made his covenant with the prophets

[15:02]and with noah and with the prophets peace be upon him his

[15:06]family he has a covenant and there really is no change in

[15:10]that covenant whatsoever if a person had even dared to even hint

[15:13]that's a prophet people would go crazy but but when it's with

[15:20]others people are okay with such traditions they're not in literature this

[15:24]next question is coming in uh sarah from london she says i'm

[15:28]living in an unhappy marriage as my husband is uh does not

[15:33]like me he's not religious he's not like me he's not religious

[15:36]he doesn't pray nor fast my question is allah states in the

[15:38]quran that a woman is created from the man man's back and

[15:44]it also states how can i have been created from someone's back

[15:53]who's not like me we aren't together but we live in the

[15:56]same house separate rooms for children's sake and we've been like this

[16:01]for five years there's about seven questions and that's one question and

[16:07]there's about seven answers to be given okay allah created us from

[16:16]nafsa there's no such thing as the lady the female is created

[16:19]from the rib of the male okay you know eve is from

[16:23]the river a genderless soul soul for the male soul for the

[16:30]female you find therefore that this idea unfortunately permeated into communities where

[16:39]people were told that you females are the reason for damnation and

[16:45]the reason for all trouble and hence you had some who are

[16:49]unfortunately treated so badly because of people taking hadiths or verses out

[16:56]of context so because people took the story of hawa or the

[17:01]story of eve out of context they started saying because eve tempted

[17:05]adam that means all other punishments for the female or because of

[17:10]eve we completely reject this in the school of dates other schools

[17:12]in islam mind you have their opinion about being created from the

[17:17]rib of um the rib of adam and you know about the

[17:20]female being much lower than the male we in the school of

[17:27]health were very clear as the quran mentions and the partner was

[17:31]created for one another to live with each other in mercy it's

[17:34]a shame when i hear that the sister is saying that maybe

[17:37]her husband's not as religious as her but she interestingly used the

[17:43]khabib that and the verse on um for the khabib and so

[17:46]on and you know she was trying to indicate that does that

[17:50]mean that i'm a habit that why is it if allah allow

[18:05]me if i am a good person if the quran says the

[18:09]khabib is for the habit that means the timer no no no

[18:15]the acts which are acts of khabar come from a habit and

[18:22]the acts which are taiyaba come for me so it won't be

[18:28]surprising that when we see something that is of the tayyip it

[18:32]will come from the born and something that is from the order

[18:38]will come from that doesn't mean that if you are a sinner

[18:44]you can only marry a sinner yeah people took this ayah unfortunately

[18:49]out of context the ayah about the khabib and about the tayyip

[18:57]coming from that which is full of khabib or that which is

[19:03]full of ebay was in the context of the story where the

[19:08]wife of the prophet peace be upon his family al-kapriya was accused

[19:11]of adultery the accusers comes from such a yeah and a word

[19:18]of tribal would come from someone who is a talib not only

[19:26]because there are certain people out there who say well you know

[19:32]what why did allah subhanahu wa allow me to marry someone who's

[19:37]a habit allah married ladies who turned out to be so what

[19:55]you have here is this idea of the habib no idea is

[20:04]that the acts of the [Music] these people who are accusing in

[20:14]the incident of the if you expect that act to come from

[20:19]them and those who say an act or say a word which

[20:21]is tayyip you'll accept that sure when i say what do i

[20:31]mean i mean that i also expected to come from him that's

[20:44]not the interpretation so sister now what do you do you're religious

[20:48]masha'allah masha allah and your husband is not that religious it's a

[20:56]trial be patient with the husband go to hajj together go on

[21:00]ziara together maybe when the both of you first got married maybe

[21:05]both of you weren't that religious so just because you've done a

[21:07]speedy gonzales and gone a bit faster does that mean that you

[21:11]don't wait for the others in the race some are rabbit some

[21:16]may be a turtle true true turtle here some might be for

[21:19]example here some might be small ant people taking steps be patient

[21:26]don't fall into that trap where i'm much more religious than everybody

[21:30]else and my husband can't keep up with me that's it i

[21:32]want to end this allah why have you done this to me

[21:34]you two probably got married and both of you weren't on religion

[21:38]that much you got inspired wait for him to get inspired in

[21:42]sha allah this next question is coming in and i think this

[21:45]is a very very important question today it says uh this is

[21:49]a ques question for dr shawani i am studying to become a

[21:54]registered nurse however my relatives say this job is impermissible for a

[21:59]muslim woman as they say i would have to look look after

[22:03]non-mushrooms what does the mathematics say about women looking after sick men

[22:09]may allah lengthen his life mentions clearly that if for example you're

[22:20]only dealing with that particular area at that moment there's no problem

[22:23]okay and if it's an emergency you're saving someone's life just for

[22:29]that moment of life and death and also you have many when

[22:34]you go to a hospital what do they do they put on

[22:36]gloves while there is that layer between them there's no issue whatsoever

[22:40]okay uh this next question comes in what is our shiite take

[22:49]on the different sciences such as astronomy astrology feng shui are they

[22:53]permissible from some of these sciences used to be in the house

[23:02]okay as in if you told anyone that going into an understanding

[23:05]of the universe an understanding of the planets and the stars was

[23:12]in the house they'd be surprised because most people assume that what's

[23:15]in the house jurisprudence the principles of jurisprudence you may have developments

[23:22]for example in aristotelian logic discussions of history exegesis the world of

[23:30]hadith balar you know syntax and morphology for example but we used

[23:34]to also have scholars who delved into the world of astronomy into

[23:39]the secrets of the universe into the secrets of the plant kingdom

[23:43]into the secrets of that physics into the area of mathematics and

[23:49]geometry and if you can delve into that world you can now

[23:52]when a person says what do we think of these other sciences

[23:56]everything that allows us to explore an understanding of the natural world

[23:58]as well as the metaphysical is something which is revered highly you

[24:04]know um even in the study of philosophy sometimes you know people

[24:09]might say well the study of philosophy is purely a search for

[24:14]wisdom in understanding existence for example um and the nature of existence

[24:21]why i think philosophy can be even more rounded to include our

[24:24]personal life to include an understanding of the philosophy of science and

[24:28]how we use data system mention things like feng shui for example

[24:33]in other areas look even when it comes to their studies concerning

[24:38]names the energy of names the study concerned the energy of colors

[24:42]their study concerning the energy of stones you know very well that

[24:48]we wear a rosa we wear door or we wear for example

[24:51]or we wear sulaimani or we wear for example zomoro all of

[24:55]these different stones that we wear all have a particular energy so

[24:59]the studies of these things while they may not be infallible are

[25:02]still beneficial now this next question comes in and it says it

[25:07]has been said by shia scholars that zakat is paid on certain

[25:11]times such as goats barley and gold coins only however in the

[25:15]western world we do not own ghosts and have gold jewelry instead

[25:17]of gold coins i find it very difficult to understand that those

[25:21]who have lots of gold jewelry would not be paying zakat on

[25:26]it or lots of cards for example already need this issue answered

[25:30]please from the uk you know sometimes i don't understand how muslims

[25:33]think really because when you tell a muslim you don't have to

[25:36]do something they're like no i want to do it when you

[25:40]tell them do it oh do i have to do it well

[25:42]sometimes i don't understand it with all due respect to the one

[25:46]asking the question when you are telling them that zakat is payable

[25:50]on nine items says but i don't own uh weeds and bali

[25:53]and goats okay so chill mama if you don't own them then

[25:58]enjoy i know they may have a point in relation to gold

[26:01]and silver of those nine items and the fukaha have discussed these

[26:05]and i've discussed them in our shows at length in the past

[26:06]which you can refer to on youtube about the applicability of gold

[26:12]or silver and the nine and its relation to zakat laws today

[26:15]but suffice for us to say when a person came to imam

[26:19]yeah he said to imam assad he said look i have a

[26:22]commodity which is not on that list of nine do i place

[26:25]the card on it iman said it's not on that list you

[26:27]don't place that guy you can't just add things and say well

[26:31]i have to someone said i feel guilty you feel guilty zakat

[26:34]is how much 2.5 if you feel so guilty pay 97.5 percent

[26:39]to imam hussain tv today 97.5 percent must have charity and you

[26:46]feel guilty and you want to give you're giving 2.5 percent that's

[26:50]all no that's the way jim the mustahab 97.5 please send to

[26:56]imam tv tonight inshallah in terms of of course jewelry there's applicability

[27:00]on the laws of homs as well um and maybe that is

[27:04]something that can be examined ascension now this next question comes in

[27:08]and it says salaam alaikum question to brother minhard where did he

[27:12]get his haircut that was the director msa he gave it to

[27:13]me um next question salaam alaikum saying i'm from the philippines married

[27:18]to a bahraini arab he is not allowing me to go to

[27:22]work outside of my pro as my profession and even sending money

[27:25]for the maintenance of my family in the philippines we are more

[27:29]than one year married and i obey him so much can i

[27:33]insist my right to go out and work thank you well i

[27:39]think these types of situations aren't situations we can hear just one

[27:42]side we need to hear exactly what's happening why the husband does

[27:48]not necessarily pro someone going out to work in islam of course

[27:51]there is no harm in the wife and the husband both being

[27:55]bred winners unless one knows that for example that the upbring the

[28:01]marital rights may be compromised then becomes an issue more one's religion

[28:06]may be compromised than what they do then it becomes an issue

[28:11]however the lady our respected sister from the philippines she also mentioned

[28:18]about not allowing the money to reach her family or maintenance again

[28:22]i don't know the ins and outs of the story but insha

[28:26]allah when we when we marry from other cultures yeah we have

[28:30]to make sure that we show the rasulallah we should never have

[28:35]a situation where we tell our wife you can't go and visit

[28:36]your family and if you visit your family i'm not mean i'm

[28:39]not helping them and let them suffer this is not yeah at

[28:43]the end of the day in the same way you'd want your

[28:48]family to be respected by your wife likewise if this sister is

[28:51]telling you that i'm in a period of difficulty my family is

[28:54]in a period of difficulty i want to earn to try and

[28:58]help them then allah we can have that that comes between us

[29:00]especially in this holy month of ramadhan i hear these stories sadly

[29:06]sometimes ladies from the philippines and others who sometimes work as servants

[29:09]in middle eastern countries are treated abysmally to the extent some commit

[29:13]suicide to the extent some can't even see the family to the

[29:16]extent some are made to sleep in a cupboard or some aren't

[29:19]even eating the same as their family and that's a far cry

[29:22]from the teachings of the likes of imam or later with gambar

[29:34]for example they always felt that they were part of the family

[29:37]and in this case we have to make sure that whether it's

[29:40]someone who's serving us in the house or someone who literally is

[31:38]suspected brothers and sisters and dearest viewers wherever you may be and

[31:42]inshallah you're all well and thank you so much for joining us

[31:46]back uh a special and a quick shout out to the nhs

[31:48]who have been on the front lines fighting covert 19 and are

[31:53]still fighting covert 19 and we appreciate them very very much but

[31:56]say in there back to the questions this question comes in from

[32:01]brother tom in london he says why does the quran incentivize sex

[32:06]through in the quran and are there for females well i think

[32:13]if you look at the descriptions of heaven and the quran the

[32:17]mention of is always last in the description not first if you

[32:25]want to really incentivize sex and you really want it to be

[32:30]at the forefront of the heavenly abode then you'd mention it right

[32:35]at the beginning of the descriptions of heaven and the quran and

[32:38]it's not like there's a thousand verses on the ferrite maidens or

[32:44]you know the beautiful maidens and the hereafter there's only a couple

[32:50]of verses and as i mentioned in my lectures it can be

[32:53]looked at from a number of angles one angle is that in

[32:59]early islam some of these young muslims were being tortured were being

[33:03]humiliated had to migrate were being killed and everyone aspires one day

[33:11]to get married to the love of their life to someone who's

[33:17]gonna be what they've wanted to grow with their whole life and

[33:22]if you have that feeling that you won't get that sometimes the

[33:26]quran would reply back to those who maybe knew that when they

[33:29]were going to badar or they knew that they were going they

[33:34]were facing intense periods of torture in the meccan period that we

[33:38]promise you that even in the hereafter there is a chance for

[33:41]you to be married if you are not going to get it

[33:45]here don't think that because you're not going to get married here

[33:48]that's that's it on the second level there was a rahab a

[33:51]form of asceticism that had grown in society which was that sex

[33:58]was to be frowned upon or was to be looked down upon

[34:02]and was to be seen in the most negative way and so

[34:07]the quran was replying by saying that no on the contrary in

[34:11]this world you can get married and in the hereafter you can

[34:18]be with a partner as well so you have these thirdly look

[34:22]the reality is that the human being part of their maker part

[34:27]of the faculties of their soul is desire and there are human

[34:33]beings who think about for example physical desires god knows in some

[34:36]cases i guarantee you in some cultures probably every 10 seconds and

[34:40]so in that case it's just making it normal that look in

[34:43]the hereafter one of the rewards is that even these areas which

[34:48]you've abstained from because you know muslim cannot commit sinner adultery and

[34:51]a muslim cannot for example masturbate and a muslim for example is

[34:55]always taught about lowering their gaze you've abstained from these one of

[35:01]thee successes and the rewards is that but if a person even

[35:06]if you ask many muslims when they talk about heaven their conception

[35:09]of heaven isn't really much to do with whether the male gets

[35:12]this or the female gets this yes they can have what they

[35:16]want whatever you want you can well the whole idea was more

[35:18]of a case that you've reached a spiritual level where those are

[35:21]the least of your concerns the amount of love you have for

[35:26]your lord the growth of your wisdom being around family being around

[35:28]the prophetic figures that's what you want the most ah now this

[35:32]question is coming in and it's saying salaam alaikum my name is

[35:37]sarah i am 10 ramadan mubarak my question is i want to

[35:41]wear the hijab but if somebody asks me why i wear it

[35:43]i wouldn't know how to answer how should i answer why i

[35:47]wear the hijab i really hope you can answer my question thank

[35:49]you and we wish you all the success with wearing the hijab

[35:53]sister sarah again you know we had the quarter yesterday or the

[35:59]the message yesterday from a 10 year old and again we have

[36:00]you know such young viewers as well that's amazing seek knowledge from

[36:05]the cradle yeah to the grave and sarah asks a brilliant question

[36:09]that how you know if i'm wearing hijab how do i explain

[36:13]to somebody why i'm wearing this veil i think one of the

[36:19]best answers could be that i heard about a lady called mary

[36:25]and she can be seen in churches but she can also be

[36:33]loved in mosques but i've never seen her except that she's wearing

[36:37]a cloth on her head and if i want to be the

[36:41]best lady like her then if that type of chastity and modesty

[36:48]hold on chastity and modesty maybe those words are a bit strong

[36:52]but if i want to be the best lady like her like

[36:55]mary the mother of jesus then i want to follow her in

[36:58]every way possible i sense again sister sarah all the best with

[37:02]uh wearing the hijab uh this question comes in saying my question

[37:08]is can a woman recite ziyarat ashura or any other zyare while

[37:13]she ha while she's on her menstrual cycle um yeah just there

[37:18]yes yes she can oh isn't an issue a person reciting ziyarah

[37:25]such as while they are in their menstrual cycle okay yeah uh

[37:31]this next question is uh when we recite vicar of allah subhanahu

[37:36]wa ta'ala when we are in bed does it have to be

[37:40]verbally or can we recite it in our minds uh from the

[37:43]uk well it's completely up to you before you go to bed

[37:50]if you're able to recite title courses i want to go to

[38:03]hajj but my father passed away and i have no brothers how

[38:05]can i achieve achieve this thank you so much thank you sister

[38:11]nat may god bless you and may he continue to enlighten us

[38:15]the way he enlightened you we may have been born into it

[38:25]may god bless you and know that all of us are your

[38:28]family and that we're all here for you and anything you ever

[38:31]need you can contact the staff at imam saying to me i'm

[38:33]sure they'll be able to help in anything and for us sister

[38:37]nat let's make this very clear you can go to hajj irrespective

[38:40]of whether your father comes whether your brothers come whether you have

[38:43]a mahram or you don't have a machine the laws of that

[38:48]land may stipulate but in shia law there is no stipulation you

[38:51]go with the people there in the kafila and there is no

[38:55]problem there and things can be worked out in sha allah insha

[38:58]allah please let me know if i haven't prayed namaz all my

[39:05]life and i'm 50 now what can i do i've asked for

[39:07]forgiveness and how can i recite all mine then all the names

[39:12]that i've missed well you would have to begin reciting the cover

[39:18]of those prayers there really is no excuse and it's similar with

[39:26]fasting in the sense that you cannot get somebody while you are

[39:30]alive to do the prayers and the fast for you yes when

[39:35]you die you are able to get somebody after you've died the

[39:39]family can get somebody to pray salat allah or to do the

[39:43]fasts on your behalf but if you're somebody who has missed years

[39:48]of fasting then that would always have to be paid back yes

[39:54]for example if fasting you paid the fidya in relation to what

[40:00]you missed that doesn't mean the qatar is gone the kaabah would

[40:05]have to be done okay and likewise in salah the kaabah would

[40:09]have to be done you'd have to calculate okay when you calculate

[40:14]for example you would calculate that how many years of salah have

[40:21]i missed now someone for example asks i'm not sure how many

[40:24]years of fasting i've missed you ask them a year says definitely

[40:30]a year three years says definitely three years five years says definitely

[40:37]five years six years i'm not sure about six years stick to

[40:39]five that's it we move on with five five times 30 is

[40:44]150 when it comes to salah between five and six you'll go

[40:53]towards for example six years and you have to make up those

[40:56]prayers when you make up those prayers what you would normally recite

[41:00]in salat is that which can be done differently for example in

[41:10]our salah when we pray we say subhanallah alhamdulillah three times once

[41:32]the person can do and it's done so all of these provides

[41:45]us with an understanding that can be done quicker for example then

[41:52]when a person would normally pray reciting everything else but they would

[41:58]have to start making them up now this next question comes in

[42:03]and it says it's a very interesting question it says please let

[42:07]me know why allah subhanahu wa says we in the quran and

[42:14]not i so plural not singular that confuses as to does allah

[42:19]have partners and so sometimes the royals or the queens or the

[42:26]people of majesty when they speak they say we like to thank

[42:29]the nation you're like where's everybody else you're just sitting there alone

[42:32]but it's known as the majestic we a royal we inna someone

[42:43]says hold on inna there's only one god we sent it down

[42:49]but there's only one god muslims say you have to believe in

[42:52]one god monotheism but indeed we the royal will speak even if

[43:23]he is one will speak by saying we members of the royal

[43:28]household okay but sometimes you'll hear we would like to thank you

[43:33]is the queen sitting alone that is for majesty okay royalty is

[43:42]there ever a time allah doesn't speak in the plural normally in

[44:03]the quran there is a moment where allah moves from the plural

[44:08]to the singular where the verse on dua he moves from talking

[44:18]of himself in the plural to the singular to get show us

[44:23]how close we are to him when we're reading dua that's how

[44:29]close he is that he moves [Music] on the beauty of dua

[45:15]is that allah moves from the world of the majestic to the

[45:22]world of one-on-one because that's how much allah loves dua and what's

[45:28]the school of dua in islam any muslim that's watching out there

[45:36]any muslim yeah you will be inspired you'll grow spiritually many muslims

[45:47]always say how can i reach a higher level of spirituality once

[45:52]you read the supplications left behind by the family of the prophet

[45:58]muhammad let me ask you send the cameraman many of you don't

[46:06]see him minha let me ask you what's your favorite supplication now

[46:09]please bear in mind there are 700 million or or nearly a

[46:15]billion muslims who have not heard some of the supplications we're going

[46:18]to mention just now because many of them live in a zone

[46:20]where they were deprived of the knowledge of al muhammad allah they

[46:29]were told to admire people of knowledge who have not left one

[46:36]dua not one dua i know why do i follow the shiite

[46:41]school why why am i a shia for what reason why i'm

[46:47]a shia is for what reason the reason is because i found

[46:54]the gates to the spirituality of the holy prophet peace be upon

[47:00]him were his family they were the gates there were others who

[47:04]were politically you can use them as a gate and the battlefield

[47:06]you can use them as a gate but i haven't got one

[47:10]to heart from them and if i have a draft from them

[47:14]it's three lines long or it's four lines long my younger sister

[47:21]can make a dua three lines long your favorite anyone who's watching

[47:29]the shia non-shia read these duas and then tell me tell me

[47:33]it's not a matter of saying i love and i love and

[47:36]i add no no no no these are the doors to spirituality

[47:39]what's your favorite daughter here we have dua for example hassan what's

[47:45]your favorite dua your favorite is which one you ask many muslims

[47:58]have you read the dua of kumail from imam abraham i guarantee

[48:07]you indonesia egypt both of them how many muslims we going to

[48:10]hundreds of millions have never read dua of imam islam that's why

[48:18]the muslim world spiritually is nowhere why do you think the muslim

[48:22]world had to wait 400 500 years before suddenly they could hold

[48:24]on to a particular path of spirituality after rasulallah died almost give

[48:47]you a glimpse of why we are shia because other schools have

[48:51]felk we have they have theology we have theology they have history

[48:55]we have history they have ethics we have ethics they'll never have

[49:00]our supplications and they always accuse us sir come and look at

[49:07]the purity of the tawheed of the abu hamza of imam al-hussein

[49:12]problem is they held on to others what do you do can

[49:22]you recommend a book that compares the quran with other religions has

[49:37]a book called hunting for the word a hunt for the word

[49:43]of god or hunting for the word of god sami ameri hunting

[49:46]for the word of god or a hunt for the word of

[49:50]god it's a solid text definitely it's one in which the discussions

[49:58]of quran and the previous scriptures definitely you know that that work

[50:01]is one to recommend that's insane uh this next question comes in

[50:07]it says if a non-muslim believes in the oneness of allah can

[50:11]we eat and drink with them like from bahrain yes why not

[50:20]if you've gone you're sitting with a non non-muslim who believes in

[50:24]the oneness of god you sit on a dinner table with them

[50:27]there's no harm eating with them person can sit on the same

[50:31]dinner table people are of two types they are either your brothers

[50:34]in faith or your equals in humanity some muslims in islamic law

[50:42]there are some verdicts that talk of the fact that people who

[50:45]are polytheists who have ascribed partners to god or images to god

[50:50]if they're the ones who are cooking the food you see them

[50:55]with their wet hands cooking the food and preparing it and so

[50:57]on there might be a problem according to certain opinions okay however

[51:02]sitting over a meal with a muslim non-muslim there's no issue there

[51:09]in china this one says my question is what are some of

[51:14]the reasons behind why the worth of a muslim in today's world

[51:16]has decreased to such a level that his worth is less than

[51:20]an animal jazakallahu well this answer is not an answer that you

[51:28]can necessarily summarize in just a couple of minutes on the one

[51:34]hand certain voices of islam have absolutely ruined the religion as in

[51:41]whether we like it or we don't from the you know in

[51:46]the last 30 years of this religion there have been certain voices

[51:52]which have been extremely militant voices which have called for people to

[51:55]be beheaded people to be killed and that means that the worth

[52:00]of the muslim became a worth where people would simply look at

[52:02]a muslim as a radical as a terrorist as a fundamentalist and

[52:06]no muslim can deny even though they try to deny the behaviors

[52:11]of some of the most tyrannical in their history you can't deny

[52:15]the behaviors of those who surrounded us and i love the fact

[52:19]i say this tongue-in-cheek but i love that there are certain tyrants

[52:24]who are muslims in our generation so it taught us what happened

[52:29]in the past was true yeah the idea that when we listened

[52:34]that people were beheaded or people's bodies were mutilated by muslims who

[52:37]believed in allah believed in muhammad rasool allah sometimes people say that

[52:43]this really happened in history did not happen in history when we

[52:47]saw the behaviors of muslims in the last 10 15 years now

[52:50]we know definitely the way muhammad abu bakr was killed we know

[52:56]was true the way rashed and ahmad were killed was definitely true

[52:58]the way imam hussain and his family were killed was definitely true

[53:02]and the generations are still alive today praising the killers secondly the

[53:06]muslim is looked down at because in many cases when there is

[53:14]a lack of a discussion on the spiritual edge of islam then

[53:20]people look at muslims there's nothing more than people who follow indoctrinated

[53:24]dogmatic religion yeah and a religion where you're coerced and if you

[53:29]don't believe in islam you're killed and the apostate is to be

[53:31]beheaded you know what i mean so that meant that a lot

[53:35]of people were looking at muslims and they were like these people

[53:38]are the scum of the earth if you doubt anything in their

[53:42]religion they'll behead you or they'll kill you and if you want

[53:44]to leave their religion they don't realize and by the way this

[53:47]was a current in medieval europe where people were saying that you

[53:51]know what islam is islam is a religion it has no philosophical

[53:55]inquiry you can't see any rationality in its followers and people in

[53:59]europe used to literally mock islam and mock the teachings of the

[54:02]religion we have to begin by doing a couple of things to

[54:10]bring back that light of islam to the fore the first one

[54:12]is we have to closely examine the seerah of rasulallah there are

[54:20]many muslims who don't know the biography of the prophet peace be

[54:22]upon his family and many of them claim to love the prophet

[54:26]peace be upon his family and if you ask them about his

[54:29]life in mecca the 13 years and the 10 years in medina

[54:34]many do not know you ask many muslims about the seerah if

[54:38]i don't know the seerah of my prophet peace be upon his

[54:44]family and secondly gain from the ethical teachings of my prophet peace

[54:47]be on the family my prophet may have died his body may

[54:50]be under the ground but his main message was what raises a

[54:54]muslim in the eyes of the non-muslim the second thing we need

[55:00]to do is closely study the words and the traditions and the

[55:04]biography as much as you want to read about this man believe

[55:15]you me from now till the day of judgement if we kept

[55:21]on narrating his merits will not be enough imam islam has over

[55:24]20 000 a hadith that he's left behind for us including sermons

[55:28]and so on many of us may have read alhamdulillah alhamdulillah 100

[55:34]of them 200 320 000 yeah how many of us have opened

[55:37]up maybe even not even what not even one percent two percent

[55:48]three percent of the words that have been left behind these two

[55:53]the seerah of rasulallah and the words and the sayings and the

[55:56]sermons and the letters of islam are fundamental in the rise of

[56:02]the muslim alongside that the supplications and the spirituality of al muhammad

[56:07]sallallahu alaihi because believe you me there are christians who love reading

[56:11]hymns they love glorifying their lord they love being at the church

[56:14]they love to open up to their lord many of these christians

[56:18]many of the non-muslims who love to open up to god and

[56:22]speak to the divine if they had access to a sahib said

[56:26]judea the world will change but many of the muslims who have

[56:29]a sahih idea haven't opened it therefore when our brother in belgium

[56:36]says muslims are looked at so low now it's because the muslim

[56:40]has neglected the seer of rasulallah or picked only that part of

[56:45]the seerah and not the most important that is neglected the seerah

[56:48]and the hadith and the imam and thirdly the muslim has to

[56:55]be willing to go into more philosophical and rational inquiry we cannot

[56:59]be bogged down by a society that tells us you know what

[57:04]there's no absolute truth be pessimistic about everything no on the contrary

[57:09]we are able to look for truth be enlightened by truth grow

[57:14]spiritually and this comes in us trying to reflect on the physical

[57:20]and the metaphysical when muslims neglected the world of inquiry into the

[57:26]nature of existence the nature of wajud our place in the wajaw

[57:29]the position of the nafs and the rohr and the understanding of

[57:33]the position of the kalb and its diseases that's when the muslim

[57:39]fell the muslim has to return back to the ethos of ekra

[57:44]the ethos of qalam the ethos of tesch the ethos of tedabur

[57:49]and that is where the muslim must return for that muslim to

[57:56]truly be seen as god's representative on earth now this next question

[58:01]comes in from brother hassanian from tanzania he says please share some

[58:05]light on iftar feast inviting other communities who rightfully deserves it isn't

[58:11]this uh um they taught us that sometimes when someone is about

[58:21]to break their fast a mischief comes comes or an asir comes

[58:26]when the miskeen or the yatim or the ashir comes did they

[58:31]ask them show me the identity and that identity as to whether

[58:36]you are a muslim or not i want to see the identity

[58:41]right now i see someone out there who's a fakir and someone

[58:44]who's a mischievous what's the difference between a pacquiao and skin is

[58:48]poor what's my skin [Laughter] come together in a sentence then they

[59:07]have two different definitions that's what i meant if they come alone

[59:13]in a sentence they mean the same thing thing yeah i'm not

[59:17]the second one what does the father always complain about in his

[59:23]50s and 60s no no wait here and always every araki father

[59:28]complains about his back she good [Laughter] is the one whose back

[59:48]has now slipped into a terrible state because of his poverty subhanallah

[59:55]subhanallah misskeen comes from someone whose movement there's been like a second

[60:02]on them they've been like numbed al harake that mesquine comes from

[60:07]that second that is now your haruka you can't even move because

[60:11]of poverty i know when i see there's a fakir and i

[60:15]see there's a mesquite if you come to the same sentence like

[60:20]on the eye of sadaka then there are two different definitions if

[60:24]they come alone then virtually the same and that is for example

[60:28]but i recognize that there is somebody out there you ask him

[60:32]how much do you need a month he says i normally need

[60:36]500 jai hustle he's getting 500 then he's no longer yeah if

[60:39]he is working and gets 500 at the end of the month

[60:43]he's not a if however it's come below then he's counted as

[60:47]being what a year and so for us we should try and

[60:49]look out for the fukara and the massacre in our community but

[60:52]if i see someone who comes and knocks at my door and

[60:55]they're starving i don't want to ask what's your identity i want

[60:57]to try and help them to try and continue that loving spirit

[61:00]of the holy month of ramadan thank you so much for that

[61:05]q a and thank you so much for allowing me to walk

[61:07]into a trap that i always walk into with you uh always

[61:10]happens how would you be saying that we just want to request

[61:15]the viewers to recite a surat al-fatiha for dora uh who passed
