[21:55]Kindly join me in welcoming to the member Sheikh Muhammad with the

[22:00]recitation of three loud salawad.

[22:00]Muhammad Ali Muhammad God speech.

[22:50]I'm telling you.

[23:06]Allah [Music] Think [Music] of Hussein Hussein.

[24:11][Music] For the love of Abdah Hussein, with the loudest of our

[24:30]voices, [Music] for the purification of our hearts and hastening of the

[24:42]reappearance of our beloved, the 12 im with the loudest of our

[24:47]voices.

[24:49][Music] Once again, lovers and the followers of we thank almighty Allah

[25:06]for gracing us with this fourth night of the holy month of

[25:16]muharam.

[25:13]We pray that Allah tabar wa'ala accept our humble efforts in this

[25:22]holy month of muharam and make us worthy of being the true

[25:26]lovers and the followers of sud shada the tradition I've just quoted

[25:36]no doubt is a known tradition to all of us it's a

[25:41]tradition narrated by both the Shia and the Sunnis.

[25:46]The holy prophet said, "Hussein is from me and I am from

[25:56]Hussein.

[25:55]Allah loves whoever loves Hussein and Allah hates who hates Hussein and

[26:04]Hussein is one of the grandsons amongst the tribes." Now departing from

[26:12]this beautiful tradition, our topic of tonight is the spiritual horizons in

[26:21]Imm Hussein's character.

[26:23]Aim behind tonight's discussion is to first and foremost inspire myself and

[26:32]inspire each and every one of us to work on our spirituality

[26:38]to work on our relationship with Allah to try as much as

[26:48]we can to take our journey of soul purification to the next

[26:53]level cuz at the end of the day what matters to Allah

[26:59]is our soul purification.

[27:01]Regardless of who you are, regardless of your circumstance, regardless of your

[27:09]status, what is important is to be the true servants of Allah.

[27:15]We are all created to achieve this to feel the presence of

[27:23]almighty Allah wherever you may be.

[27:25]And so examination of tonight and will be of the following stages.

[27:34]The first stage we will look at Imam Hussein's movemental dimension or

[27:43]if you like activist dimension and then the last stage of our

[27:48]examination we will look at Imam Hussein's mystical dimension.

[27:56]Brothers and sisters, when you examine Imam Hussein's mystical or spiritual personality,

[28:07]you realize that his mystical personality is made up of two major

[28:14]dimensions.

[28:14]Kindly pay attention to these dimensions.

[28:17]The first dimension is activist or movemental dimension.

[28:24]hierarchy.

[28:27]The second dimension is mystical and spiritual dimension.

[28:35]Now movemental or activist dimension of the personality of Imam Hussein manifest

[28:48]in Imam's love for madam.

[28:53]Now question what is madam?

[28:57]I want us to reflect on this a bit is not what

[29:08]scholars call is not an emotional reaction to an unpleasant experience or

[29:16]situation.

[29:18]meaning one is experiencing something unpleasant something disgusting and he or she

[29:26]is unable to overcome it then you decide to say you know

[29:29]what I don't want to live anymore so madam is not emotional

[29:38]reaction on a second level mdom of course is not suicidal thoughts

[29:42]that's not mart I'm faced with a situation and I just want

[29:49]to be free from the pains I'm going through.

[29:52]So I don't want to be here.

[29:55]That's not matter.

[29:55]On a third level, it's not like you want to change something

[30:02]in a community or society and people are not barging and you

[30:08]try your level best, it's not happening.

[30:10]Then you say, you know what, I don't want to be with

[30:12]these people, I'm gone.

[30:14]does not matter.

[30:17]Now what is mart?

[30:19]Martrdom simply means martrdom is the eradicating of the love of this

[30:35]and self from the soul.

[30:38]Detachment from detachment from egoism.

[30:44]Detachment from unnecessary self interest is what mart is all about.

[30:53]Therefore, we do have a differences between martrdom and emotional reaction and

[31:01]other forms of reactions.

[31:03]We've just mentioned other forms of reactions of not wanting to live.

[31:09]You know what is that?

[31:14]It is for the sake of self.

[31:16]But martrdom is not for the sake of self.

[31:20]Martrdom is for the sake of the highest purpose.

[31:27]I hope you are following.

[31:30]Mr.

[31:31]is not for my sake.

[31:35]Hussein did not become a matter for his sake.

[31:44]Did not become a matter for his sake.

[31:48]All our beloved they became ms for the sake of the highest

[31:57]purpose.

[31:58]And the highest purpose is none other but Allah tab wa ta'ala.

[32:04]And hence my dear brothers and sisters I draw your attention to

[32:10]something very fundamental.

[32:12]Martam has three main traits characteristics.

[32:19]Understand these characteristics and you will appreciate the essence of martyrdom within

[32:27]the religion of Islam.

[32:29]The first trait of martyrdom is what scholars refer to as sacred

[32:39]feeling if you like holy sense.

[32:44]There are two major feelings in life.

[32:48]We have instinctive feeling and we have sacred feeling.

[32:55]What is instinctive feeling?

[33:00]Is what drives you towards desire.

[33:02]Whatever drives you a towards food is instinctive nature.

[33:06]It's a natural feeling.

[33:09]Whatever drives you towards your family is instinctive.

[33:13]Nature something natural.

[33:15]Whatever drives you towards wealth towards money is instinctive.

[33:21]This what scholars call instinctive feeling.

[33:27]And Quran discusses instinctive feeling.

[33:29]For example, you look at verse number 14.

[33:49]beautified to people the love of what they desire of women of

[34:02]sons of heaps sums of silver and gold till the land.

[34:07]So these are instinctive feelings.

[34:14]These are instinctive sense and desires.

[34:15]Likewise Allah in verse 20 20 we human beans we are so

[34:30]severing money in loving wealth is instinctive feeling.

[34:32]That's not about martrdom.

[34:35]Martrdom is about what?

[34:41]Holy feeling.

[34:41]What is holy feeling?

[34:44]My dear brothers and sisters, it is a feeling that transcend that

[34:52]transcend one's personal desire.

[34:55]It's beyond personal desire.

[34:59]That's holy feeling.

[35:03]And holy feeling comes with three dimensions.

[35:09]The first dimension is this holy feeling brings about yearning for the

[35:23]truth.

[35:22]Every matter yearn for the truth.

[35:26]What do I mean by the truth here?

[35:27]Knowledge.

[35:29]You cannot be a good Muslim without knowledge.

[35:35]Habibi, you cannot be a true lover and a follower of Alb

[35:43]without investing your time in knowledge acquisition.

[35:47]Today, what causes problems and challenges in our world is compound ignorance.

[35:55]As Im Amir Alisam beautifully mentioned, people of knowledge are of two

[36:03]types and ignorance are ignorants are also of two types.

[36:06]People of knowledge, the first type is there are some of them

[36:13]who know and they know that they know.

[36:14]Second group, they know but they don't know that they know.

[36:21]At least they've got the knowledge.

[36:24]They're humble.

[36:23]But the ignorant are also too.

[36:28]First group they don't know and they know that they don't know.

[36:31]So they humble they go for knowledge.

[36:36]The second group of ignorance they are those who are causing fitna.

[36:40]Compound ignorance.

[36:43]They don't know.

[36:47]And they don't know that they don't know.

[36:49]Compound the first one.

[36:53]They don't know the second ignorant.

[36:56]They don't know that they don't know.

[36:59]They trying to justify lies.

[37:03]So this holy feeling on a first level brings about yearning for

[37:12]the truth.

[37:13]And I take this opportunity to invite one and all regardless of

[37:19]your circumstance, regardless of your status, keep learning, keep acquiring knowledge.

[37:24]Islam is about knowledge.

[37:26]Without knowledge, it becomes boring.

[37:29]You will never and ever be satisfied of knowledge.

[37:32]As per the tradition of the holy prophet, he said there are

[37:37]two group two groups of people.

[37:38]They are never satisfied.

[37:39]The seeker of this world and the seeker of knowledge.

[37:43]our own beloved prophet made dua in Quran.

[37:57]The second characteristic of holy feeling is holy brings about yearning and

[38:13]wanting to do good.

[38:15]That's why they did good and they did due diligence.

[38:22]When it comes to doing good, one cannot be a true matter

[38:31]without wanting to do good.

[38:32]And then the last characteristic of a holy feeling is what?

[38:38]Seeking God.

[38:46]Yearning for beauty.

[38:49]The most beautiful is Allah.

[38:53]That is why he say he was on the ground but he

[39:04]will call out.

[39:13]There are different versions.

[39:20]He said, "Ya Allah, I've left everything of these creations and I'm

[39:28]making my children orphans.

[39:29]If they are to chop me into pieces, this my heart will

[39:35]not divert to anyone but you, oh Allah." My dear brothers and

[39:43]sisters, yearn for God.

[39:45]Imadam would say, "Ya Allah, I know you through you and you

[40:05]are the one who indicated me to you and invited me to

[40:12]you.

[40:13]If it wasn't of you, I wouldn't have known you.

[40:19]You know it very well.

[40:24]Or the one whose essence indicate to his essence.

[40:28]What's the essence of Allah?

[40:30]The existence of Allah.

[40:33]What's the existence of Allah?

[40:34]The essence of Allah.

[40:35]But I and you, you have something called essence and you have

[40:40]something called existence.

[40:40]But Allah's essence is not distinct from the existence of Allah and

[40:45]the other way around.

[40:48]So this is crucial.

[40:51]So the first trait is what?

[40:57]Second trait of martyrdom is planning for eternal life.

[41:08]Here also I would like to draw your attention to something very

[41:16]important.

[41:13]You see we have two types of souls.

[41:18]One soul find it pleasing and fulfilling whatever it has in this

[41:26]world.

[41:30]That soul is happy with whatever this temporary wealth present it with.

[41:38]The other soul no it is not satisfied with whatever this world

[41:47]present it with.

[41:47]Here philosopher say if you examine your existence you realize that your

[41:51]existence is of two dimensions.

[41:54]You have what is called the physical dimension to your existence and

[42:00]you have a recognized or extended dimension.

[42:01]Physical dimension is how many number of years you spend in this

[42:08]world.

[42:09]100 years, 50 years.

[42:09]That's okay.

[42:09]But the extended dimension is what?

[42:13]What am I able to achieve out of the 100 years given

[42:16]to me by Allah?

[42:18]So in trying to understand planning for eternal life, we have one

[42:23]soul that is satisfied with the wealth it has, with the fame

[42:26]it has.

[42:28]But no, the other soul want its name to remain forever even

[42:35]if it is no more in this world.

[42:36]Matter is not just about this world.

[42:41]Mr.

[42:43]is about the name of the person or the values the person

[42:49]stand for remains forever even will be mentioned on the day of

[42:55]and hence all of us in our own small ways we can

[42:59]embark on a journey of martyrdom.

[43:03]Wow.

[43:02]Sodaka is a form of martyrdom cuz when you give sodaka sincerely

[43:10]your name will remain Allah will grant you eternal life.

[43:13]Proper teria of our children is a form of martrdom.

[43:19]When you give your children the best of even if you are

[43:24]no more in this world your name will remain forever and ever.

[43:28]You know the tradition of the prophet isn't it?

[43:42]when the son of Adam depart from this world, nothing helps him

[43:48]or her apart from three things.

[43:49]The first one is running charity.

[43:51]You help build the mosque.

[43:53]Your name is going to be remembered eternally.

[43:57]You reach out to those who are in need and they continue

[44:02]to benefit from it.

[44:01]Your name is going to be remembered.

[44:06]You are blessed with knowledge and you unconditionally share their knowledge.

[44:10]When you are no more and people benefit from your knowledge, it

[44:14]will go a long way.

[44:15]The third one prophet said or you leave behind a solid son

[44:23]or daughter.

[44:22]Proper upbringing note note means what?

[44:32]Transfer of information to your children ria providing everything of this junior.

[44:37]The best house, the best car, best holidays.

[44:41]That's okay.

[44:43]These are all prerequisite to tabia means what?

[44:47]is to identify god-given talents of your sons and daughters and nature

[44:52]them to ensure that they achieve it.

[44:56]The best talent given to all by Allah is so you leave

[45:05]behind a good child, you sorted.

[45:09]But the highest form is when someone's blood is shed.

[45:16]In the case of Shada we mentioned last night, he held ali

[45:24]looked at the people.

[45:27]Am I the target or this infant baby?

[45:30]What was the response?

[45:36]Harala struck it very hard to the neck of Ali Ascar.

[45:40]What did I say do?

[45:44]Collect the blood threw it to the sky.

[45:50]So therefore on a second level a m plan for eternal life.

[45:58]Let's go to the last street of madram.

[46:03]A mother has a big heart.

[46:08]We have small hearts and we have big hearts.

[46:15]What is small hearts?

[46:18]The soul easily get tired.

[46:23]What is big heart?

[46:25]The body may be tired but the soul will never tired in

[46:28]chanting Allah.

[46:32]mention.

[46:35]He said their body endure hardship and people find comfort in them.

[46:46]The holy prophet made his crystal clear prophet said my two eyes

[46:59]are fast asleep but the soul is not sleeping about Allah that's

[47:05]matter so on the first level I imus is shaki is a

[47:17]person of movement is an activist.

[47:20]Now let's go to the second stage.

[47:24]The mystical personality of Imam Hussein here.

[47:28]Please pay attention and go and do your own homework.

[47:35]If you truly want to appreciate the mystical personality of Im Hussein,

[47:41]the best door to knock is dua.

[47:49]This dua my dear brothers and sisters they are spirits of the

[47:56]holy prophet Imminham.

[48:05]This dua focuses on self constructive criticism.

[48:13]Next to that, anyone or any community who fails to now and

[48:24]then engages in self constructive criticism will never prosper.

[48:31]Don't wait for someone to come and tell you your majist is

[48:35]this, your interaction is this.

[48:37]You have to do what is called self constructive criticism.

[48:41]Don't wait for somebody to come and tell you your leadership is

[48:48]this.

[48:46]We are all required to do self constructive criticism.

[48:52]It is only through self- constructive criticism we grow and we develop.

[49:00]Dua my dear brothers and sisters of Imus invite us to engage

[49:10]on a very deep and powerful self constructive criticism cuz through that

[49:19]I get to know who I am.

[49:22]Otherwise, if I don't do self- constructive criticism, what will happen?

[49:31]Arrogance will overtake me and I'll always think I'm the best.

[49:39]I'm on top of my game.

[49:39]And we as human beings without pausing sometimes in our life to

[49:49]double check we may hit a strong pothole.

[49:51]That is why in a known tradition before we look at the

[49:58]dua the holy prophet invites one and all to benefit from five

[50:03]before five come.

[50:05]Prophet invite the youth.

[50:09]Benefit from your youthfulness before you become old.

[50:11]Now you are strong.

[50:15]You can stand and pray.

[50:15]You can walk back and forth.

[50:20]Your eyes are clear.

[50:20]Take advantage of this wall.

[50:24]A time will come when you will wish to do things and

[50:26]you will not be able to do.

[50:30]That's when you will chew your finger.

[50:31]Number two, prophet said benefit from your health before you become ill.

[50:38]Go to the hospital and ask those who are ill.

[50:41]Common surgery that people cannot do because of illness.

[50:46]We are blessed and we are not like more health conscious than

[50:52]those there.

[50:54]These are all ti and the blessings of Allah.

[50:56]Benefit from your health before you become sick.

[51:00]Number three, the holy prophet beautifully mentioned benefit from your time before

[51:07]you become busy.

[51:08]Now you have time.

[51:13]Seek Allah.

[51:11]Look for Allah.

[51:14]Connect with Allah.

[51:16]Worship Allah.

[51:18]Don't miss your salah.

[51:20]A time will come will be quick quickly.

[51:25]You want to finish.

[51:26]Benefit from your time before you become busy.

[51:31]Likewise, the Holy Prophet taught us benefit from your wealth before you

[51:39]lose it.

[51:38]Cuz we've seen people from zero to hero and from her to

[51:47]zero.

[51:44]Now that you have benefit from it before it is too late,

[51:53]I found this very fascinating in dua invite us to sit somewhere

[52:01]and reflect and engage in self- constructive criticism.

[52:05]And I im mentioned so many blocks.

[52:09]I'm just going to mention three because of time.

[52:12]Number one, say taught us if you truly want to engage in

[52:20]self- constructive criticism, you need to have what is called, selfaware, selfnowledge.

[52:30]Do you know yourself?

[52:36]Really?

[52:34]Do you really know yourself?

[52:38]Who are you?

[52:41]The pro the tradition of the prophet.

[52:42]You know it very well.

[52:47]Whoever knows himself knows his lord.

[52:50]But do you really my father, my brother, my sister.

[52:54]Can you put hand on heart and tell me you know who

[52:59]you are?

[53:01]If you know who you are, why you miss your salat?

[53:05]Because it is said anyone who knows himself will know Allah.

[53:10]If you know who you are, why your Quran is not good?

[53:16]If you know who you are, why you gossip?

[53:20]Cuz prophet said, "If I know myself, I will know my Lord."

[53:26]This requires sitting somewhere alone and reflect.

[53:32]One of the way to know myself quickly is that I believe

[53:37]and I know and I recognize wholeheartedly my life is limited.

[53:44]My knowledge is limited.

[53:48]My wealth is limited.

[53:48]My fame is limited.

[53:53]My community is limited.

[53:54]Habibi my entire existence and what I have is limited.

[53:57]That is the beginning of our journey towards knowing ourself.

[54:02]So that in return we get to reconnect and know Allah.

[54:06]But now look at what IM Hussein said.

[54:08]Wallah I find this fascinating and emotional.

[54:10]It makes me emotional sometimes when I recite this.

[54:14]Imam Hussein in dua.

[54:18]He invite us to know Allah through knowing ourselves.

[54:23]You know what he said?

[54:43]Let's do this and then we go forward.

[54:46]Imm said, "Ya Allah, I am poor in my richness.

[54:53]How could I not be poor in my poverty?" Think about it.

[55:02]Then he said, "Ya Allah, I am ignorant in my knowledge.

[55:08]How could I not be ignorant in my ignorance?" Allah, you think

[55:16]you know Imam Hussein is better than you.

[55:21]Allah, do we really know Im Hussein?

[55:28]This is deep mystical teachings.

[55:33]This is not hunky dory la.

[55:35]This is something extra.

[55:39]And you know further in inviting us to know ourselves.

[55:44]You know what I said?

[55:55]Allah he said yeah Allah whose virtues are nothing but mere flaws.

[56:08]How can his flaws be nothing but flaws?

[56:19]So whatever good I do are flaws.

[56:24]So therefore my flaws naturally will be flaws again.

[56:28]Not me.

[56:29]When I do something I want the whole world to know I'm

[56:33]the best person.

[56:31]No Muhammad.

[56:34]Im Hussein is teaching us.

[56:40]He said to ya Allah whose truth is nothing but claims.

[57:00]Why not his claims not to be false?

[57:08]You think you're truthful.

[57:12]Be humble.

[57:11]Allah be humble.

[57:14]You don't know yourself.

[57:15]I don't know myself.

[57:17]Every year we go through dua.

[57:20]Every year like parrots finish ticking the boxes.

[57:24]Hussein sat there in the mountain of Arafa to recite this Baba.

[57:29]He wanted to teach us.

[57:32]So in the first level it's now let's go number two.

[57:39]Im Hussein invite us self constructive criticism.

[57:44]Don't get confused.

[57:55]Imam said if you are really a true servant of Allah there

[58:02]must be moment in your life when you have this feeling of

[58:10]alienation loneliness I want you to think you see I'm going slowly

[58:15]think reflect he said there must be a moment and there are

[58:23]moments in our lives where you feel alienated, you feel lonely, your

[58:33]father cannot help, your mom cannot help, your wife cannot help, your

[58:40]sister cannot help.

[58:44]Guess which moment is that?

[58:47]Only the moment you commit sins against Allah, nobody can forgive you

[58:57]beside him.

[58:57]Said why you don't feel lonely?

[58:59]Why you don't think of this loneliness before you even indulge in

[59:04]any sin?

[59:05]Cuz the moment you commit, there's no I can't forgive you.

[59:11]But look at what he says in dua.

[59:16]That's the interest part of you know what said Allah to whom

[59:28]are you going to refer me?

[59:35]Are you going to refer me to him or her?

[59:37]But look at what I said.

[59:44]Ya Allah, with my sons, are you going to refer me to

[59:50]my relatives to cut me off when they get to know about

[59:53]my son?

[59:55]Baba, you can't forgive my son when I come to you.

[60:01]Yes, you may console me.

[60:02]And that's said [Music] Allah, are you referring me to a relative,

[60:12]to a family member who will easily cut me off when he

[60:18]gets to know about the baggage of my son?

[60:25]Allah, are you going to refer me to someone strange or a

[60:36]stranger who will what?

[60:35]scowl at me.

[60:40]Allah, are you going to refer me to someone weaker than me?

[60:46]They are weaker than me.

[60:51]They cannot forgive my sins.

[60:55]You are my Lord and in charge of my affairs.

[61:07]I complain to you Allah my loneliness.

[61:13]Ya Allah, I am alone on account of my sins.

[61:19]I need you Allah.

[61:19]That's what Abdah is saying.

[61:22]Today she abdah we try to justify sins.

[61:26]Anyhow, what is important?

[61:31]Be humble in front of a son.

[61:32]H said, "Ya Allah, I complain to you my loneliness and what

[61:42]the distance of my home.

[61:46]I complain to you." So on a second level, I imus want

[61:54]us to do self- constructive criticism by remembering there are moments in

[62:02]our lives when we feel marginalized and this is through marginalization cuz

[62:08]you have the sin.

[62:10]That's number two.

[62:12]Let's go to number three.

[62:17]Feeling of embarrassment.

[62:26]Embarrassment.

[62:28]Imm Hussein Alisam said there must be times in your life when

[62:35]you should be embarrassed.

[62:36]Yes.

[62:37]Yes.

[62:39]When do we become embarrassed mystically, spiritually?

[62:44]That is when we pay good with bad.

[62:52]So now before we go to our even would say Allah Allah

[63:02]Allah he said yeah Allah your good is always coming to us

[63:10]in return our evilness and sh coming to you.

[63:14]But now look at how Im Hussein demonstrate this in dua long

[63:21]lines but I'm just going to mention few at one point he

[63:29]began so many lies.

[63:44]He said, "Oh Allah, you are the one who strengthened me." Then

[63:50]he said, "Oh Allah, you are the one who bestowed your favors

[63:55]and blessing upon me.

[63:57]Ya Allah, you are the one who did good to me.

[64:04]And ya Allah, you were the one who favored me over over

[64:09]many of people." But then look at the line.

[64:13]Imam Hussein suddenly switched this when he expect us to have this

[64:17]feeling of embarrassment.

[64:26]I am the one who wronged.

[64:30]I am the one who made the mistakes.

[64:34]I am the one who committed the ignorance.

[64:38]Really brothers, we need to reflect this.

[64:41]Imam Hussein, excuse my word, it's not a joke.

[64:44]Imam Hussein is a big deal.

[64:48]It's allrounded.

[64:50]We need to work on our spirituality.

[64:53]Karbala is about spirituality.

[64:56]Connecting with Imam Hussein is connecting with Allah.

[65:01]But you know what?

[65:05]These last lines really pierces my hearts.

[65:20]We owe it to Albate.

[65:24]They did everything to make things easier for us.

[65:31]Well, I don't know to what extent do we appreciate Alan B.

[65:36]You know, he got to a point in dua where I im

[65:45]said with what should I look at you, oh my lord.

[66:00]I'm Do I face you Allah with my sense of hearing or

[66:12]with my sense of seeing or with my tongue or do I

[66:18]face you with my hand?

[66:20]Ya Allah or do I face you with my legs with my

[66:21]feet?

[66:22]But look at what he says.

[66:29]Are all these not your blessings and I use them to stand

[66:35]against you Allah?

[66:34]What else do you want?

[66:38]You know I'm not rushing.

[66:42]I want you to deeply reflect brothers and sisters.

[66:53]Are all not your blessings?

[66:57]Haven't I used all of them to sin?

[67:04]Then he will say, said, "Ya Allah, you are the one who

[67:12]covered my fault, my from my fathers and mothers.

[67:22]Otherwise, they would have scolded me.

[67:26][Music] And you Allah, you are the one who covered my fault

[67:34]from my entire families and my surveillance.

[67:37]Otherwise, they would have blamed and exposed me.

[67:46]Ya Allah, you are the one who covered my fault.

[67:48]Otherwise, the authorities would have finished me.

[67:51]How many wrongs we do and we hide?

[67:53]Can you imagine you walking out of this imam bar and mosque

[67:59]and all your IP flaws are exposed to the world.

[68:06]Think about it man.

[68:04]Sat is covering us.

[68:08]Think about it.

[68:11]If even our sons get to know some of the mistakes we

[68:15]make by just holding our phones.

[68:18]If my next brother sees the wrongs I'm making.

[68:22]This all Allah is making sat is covering us.

[68:27]Imam Hussein is saying you know at the end what he said

[68:33]and all these people realized and know what you know about me.

[68:40]They would have all rejected me.

[68:44]They would have all cut off from me.

[68:48]Allah is covering you habibi.

[68:52]Why do you find it difficult to worship God?

[68:55]Well, Allah is covering us is so merciful that you cannot comprehend

[69:05]the scope of Allah's mercy.

[69:08]Yes, you may have problems in your life.

[69:09]I may have problem in my life.

[69:12]But if I have to pause a little bit, I'll realize that

[69:15]Allah's blessings overpowered all the challenges I go through in my life.

[69:21]He covers me every day.

[69:24]This is im last point.

[69:35]Allah imus never played with his salat.

[69:48]Salat topmost priority.

[69:56]Are you here to cry for rightly so?

[70:02]Even on the eve of Ashura when the enemies were preparing themselves

[70:11]what was happening in the camp of Im Hussein.

[70:27]Ise and his beloved companions on the eve of they were arming

[70:37]themselves with worship whispering like did they fallen from history.

[70:45]Hence imus will look at say and will say oh my beloved

[70:54]sister z when you wake up at night to pray remember me

[70:58]in your dua z the mystical personality spirituality of Imam Hussein IM

[71:06]Hussein is highly spiritual how many times I give excuses but Imam

[71:13]Hussein ensured that salat was prayed on the 10th day of Muhar.

[71:18]When we recite of Ali Akbar, we cry.

[71:22]When we remember the of Akbar, we cry.

[71:26]But that should inform you the importance of salah.

[71:31]You know I and know very well.

[71:38]Salat empty something and it what?

[71:42]It adorns something.

[71:43]It empties you from s and it adorns you with God and

[71:50]spirituality and salat of carbala is on time is congregational and is

[71:57]public.

[72:05]This is Im Hussein.

[72:09]When Abu came to say on the 10th day of Muharam up

[72:20]realizing the enemies were making headways, he said to Im Hussein, "Oh

[72:23]my beloved master, I see the enemies making headways.

[72:29]Salat time is approaching.

[72:30]I would love to offer my salat behind you before I go."

[72:34]Im made dua for you all know it.

[72:41]Oh, you remembered salah.

[72:43]May your name be written on the list of those who remembered

[72:46]Allah in this your salat is crucial.

[72:49]You are not cry for saying when you are bankrupt in your

[72:52]salah when you have deficiency in your salah.

[72:56]It begins with your salah.

[72:56]Salat it has stages.

[72:59]One stage of the salah is the timing of the salah in

[73:01]it.

[73:02]One stage of the salah is the place of the salah.

[73:05]One stage of the is the format of the salah.

[73:08]Doing it congregationally is better.

[73:09]One stage of the salah is the spirit of the salah.

[73:11]Doing it with the presence of the heart.

[73:12]And the last stage of the salah is the impact of the

[73:17]salah.

[73:18]What's the impact of the salah 43 the salah?

[73:24]The of salah is to change your behavior.

[73:30]So celebrate and so carbala in conclusion has this mystical and spiritual

[73:41]dimension as we mourn as we cry we need to remember this

[73:50]and try if you have time not now this dua explore It

[74:02]tells you all about the spiritual level of Imam Hussein.

[74:10]But upon all these heritage and treasures left by Imam Hussein which

[74:18]is for the benefit of all.

[74:24]That did not stop them from slapping the cheek of Sukina.

[74:33]Imam Hussein tried everything.

[74:39]What is even so disturbing?

[74:46]The one who struck the neck of Imam Hussein, he was saying

[74:59]Allahbar, Allahbar, Allah.

[74:59]Can you imagine that?

[75:04]The one who pulled the beard of Im Hussein, he was saying

[75:12]Allah Akbar.

[75:14]Tonight is the night of one of those committed companion of say

[75:26]shada.

[75:27]Let's take our hearts to the sah to the courtyard of Kbala

[75:34]before we look at remember some other companions of Im Hussein.

[75:43]Narish tells us Wahab al-Kbi he went to Imam Hussein for permission.

[75:52]Imam granted him permission.

[75:56]While Wab was on his way to the battlefield, his wife began

[76:03]calling, "Wahab, come back.

[76:04]Wahab, come back.

[76:05]Wahab, come back." Wab did not tend to look at the wife.

[76:12]On a fourth level, wife called, "Wahab, go.

[76:16]Wahab, go.

[76:16]Wahab, go." Wahab stopped and then looked at his wife.

[76:22]Why?

[76:23]one point come back and suddenly Wabo you know what she said

[76:28]definitely I must say wab go because I see Sakina and Asgar

[76:34]and there is no one to support them but you know Wahab

[76:41]fought and fought when Wahab fell on the ground the wife of

[76:44]Wahab rushed to the body of Wahab when Shimmer saw the wife

[76:50]next to the body of Wahab He called the rostam.

[76:55]He said rostam go and finish off that lady.

[76:59]Rosam took his dagger and he began digging on the lady.

[77:10]It's a great companion.

[77:13]Likewise, another great companion of [Music] When they killed Zohari, you know

[77:25]what I said?

[77:26]May you all be raised on the day of Kyama as pigs.

[77:31]You know why?

[77:33]Because they motilated the body of Allahbar.

[77:41]And that is why Dam gave that piece of clothes to that

[77:49]servant.

[77:50]Go look around the bodies in Karbala.

[77:52]When you come across the body of my husband, recover the body

[77:58]and come back.

[77:58]He took the clo suddenly he came back holding the clo again.

[78:03]Dam asked him, "Haven't you come across the body of Zub?" He

[78:10]said, "Oh, I came across the body of Z.

[78:13]When I made attempt to cover Z, I saw there was nobody

[78:19]to support Hussein.

[78:22]Allahbar Hussein was a big fan as the sh was a big

[78:31]fan in Kabala." Now one of the greatest companion is is from

[78:42]the tribe of Ria.

[78:43]He was the chief army of this tribe.

[78:51]H is known as a top-notch warrior of Kufa.

[78:53]But you know what?

[78:55]Hor has a beautiful heart.

[78:57]Hormet Hussein as per traditions a week before Kbala and Hur was

[79:05]given a straight instruction.

[79:07]Get allegiance from Hussein and then come back without allegiance.

[79:14]Block Hussein from anything.

[79:15]When met Hussein the horses of were thirsty looked at Im Hussein.

[79:26]Look at the the beautiful heart of Imam Hussein.

[79:30]He said to him, "Please can you give us water for our

[79:35]horses?" Imam Hussein gave water to the horses of hor.

[79:37]But they denied asaru water.

[79:43]They denied sakina water.

[79:47]It was then salat time.

[79:51]Hur looked at Im Hussein.

[79:54]He said, "Can you lead us in salah?" Im said, "No, who

[79:56]will you lead?" Then said, "No, I cannot lead the son of

[80:04]Fatim Zah." Allah Akbar.

[80:05]But here comes the moment when I im Hussein wanted to head

[80:13]towards Kufa.

[80:11]Hur blocked Im Hussein.

[80:15]When Imam Hussein wanted to have water, Hur blocked Imam Hussein from

[80:21]having the water.

[80:20]Im looked at he said may your mother have lost you if

[80:27]I do not know your mom I would have cursed your mom

[80:30]said you know I've been given instruction is to take allegiance from

[80:34]you or not allow you to take any step now on the

[80:44]10th day of muharam was sitting between Omar and Shimra Allah abar

[80:51]Then overhead saying first first sudden overhead Imam Hussein calling.

[81:07]Is there any helper to help me?

[81:13]Or while sitting between and he asked them what is going to

[81:21]happen today?

[81:19]Three things change.

[81:22]Sham and Omar looked at and they said to him, "Today heads

[81:30]will be chopped off.

[81:32]Today necks will fly and hands will be cut off." Wallah.

[81:41]They cut off the hands of Abbas and they cut off the

[81:51]neck of Hussein.

[81:49]They targeted the conjur of Hussein.

[81:54]You know number two that convinced you know on the 10th day

[82:01]of Muaram Imam Hussein camp set fire in front of the camp.

[82:04]Omar Nosad and Shimmer upon seeing the fire they called out, "Oh,

[82:10]Hussein is preparing for his fire of hell." Allah realize now this

[82:21]is serious.

[82:21]Third reason realized that Omar were concerned about the thirst of his

[82:29]horses but he was not concerned about the test of Ali Asgaru

[82:37]asked them why are you giving your horses water when the sons

[82:42]and daughters of Zahara are thirsty guess what was the response they

[82:49]said to we want to see Hussein being broken And so called

[82:53]his son by the name Ali and his brother by the name

[82:58]of Mas Aba.

[82:57]And Hur said to his servant, "I want you to take a

[83:01]clo and cover my face.

[83:05]Come, let us go to Hussein." Hur then began to walk to

[83:09]Abi Abdah.

[83:08]They saw coming.

[83:11]Abdul Abbas stood up and he began walking towards and he said

[83:16]to Im Hussein is coming let me go and attack and deal

[83:24]with aboved let us wait and see what is he coming with

[83:29]they waited came not looked at the v of Im Hussein he

[83:35]said to Hussein Oh, Hussein, will I be forgiven?

[83:44]Hussein said, "Yes, Lord, you are forgiven." Or then of course went

[83:52]to the battlefield.

[83:51]He fought and fought the enemies obviously came and they slaughtered like

[84:01]animal and Hussein would come to the body of say You are

[84:10]indeed a free person the way your mom named you free.

[84:27]Y'all can see him.

[84:29]Y'all can see him.

[84:39]Say y'all say and Say [Music] honey [Music] [Music] Who are we?
