[0:11]alhamdulillah [Music] [Applause] m m hinin hin [Applause] m for the purification

[2:39]of the souls the enlightenment of the hearts for the hastening of

[2:42]the reappearance of the awaited Savior Enlighten your souls and the atmosphere

[2:48]with the recitation of salawat upon Muhammad Muhammad [Applause] he was the

[3:02]commander of the army of yazid muaah on the 10th of muharam

[3:08]a wretched individual responsible to execute the commands of his seniors in

[3:19]massacring the family of the holy prophet and the companions of the

[3:24]third holy Imam a person who is distracted and indeed made to

[3:33]take the option of this world and the love of materialism which

[3:38]resulted in grave consequences was the individual who is heading the 30,000

[3:50]Army of yazid muaah on the 10th of mam in the plains

[3:57]of carala throughout centuries when it came to majalis when it came

[4:02]to the remembrance of what happened on the 10th of muharam whether

[4:06]it's in books articles whether it's in the recitations the name of

[4:14]Omar has become a household name in that people across the world

[4:19]have recognized who he is and what crimes he perpetrated in the

[4:25]idea that many are aware that Not only was he the commander

[4:29]of the army Army of what happened on that day against the

[4:33]holy IM and his family and companions but he was merciless and

[4:38]his heart was devout of any La Mercy or love and he

[4:46]perpetrated some heus crimes against the family of the holy prophet and

[4:49]those who were with them when it comes to the study of

[4:51]carala when we look at what happened before and after many of

[5:00]us rightfully discuss glorious individuals who showed us how to lead their

[5:05]lives in the path of Allah subhana wa ta'ala we often talk

[5:08]about of course the leader of the University of carala the grandson

[5:18]of the holy prophet say the master of Mars the of we

[5:28]talk about the ience of his family members we talk about the

[5:34]Excellence of his companions but at the same time there is a

[5:38]need for us to understand who his enemies are in order for

[5:43]us to not fall in the same mistakes as his enemies in

[5:46]that there is a recognition today that some people would ask the

[5:52]question why should I know about the life of for example Shimmer

[5:55]why should I for example discuss who Ora is why should I

[6:03]know more about why should you discuss on the member the biography

[6:07]of is because Allah subhah wa tala tells us to do so

[6:13]in the Quran people ask how you look at for example our

[6:17]Arch Enemy who isan Allah discusses Shan extensively in the Quran Allah

[6:27]says Shan is your enemy recognize your enemy don't go in the

[6:31]battlefield blind go to the battlefield knowing exactly how your enemy works

[6:38]and you will become successful yes the recognition is not only Shan

[6:43]mentioned in numerous occasions in the Quran but also those who followed

[6:46]in the footsteps of shaan because you see the story in the

[6:48]Quran that's given is that human beings have a choice either they

[6:54]take the party of Allah or they take the party of Shan

[6:57]there are those who took the side of the party of Allah

[7:02]these are the prophets who are mentioned in the Quran for example

[7:05]these are certain righteous individuals who followed in the part of the

[7:09]prophets but those who took the party of Shan and sided with

[7:12]the shitan are also extensively discussed in the holy book 72 occasions

[7:18]in the Quran the name is referred to's name is mentioned more

[7:26]than the majority of prophets in the Quran you may be surprised

[7:31]by this Prophet ibraim is mentioned 69 times F 72 not that

[7:35]this wretched f is better than any of these prophets but Allah

[7:38]subhah wa ta'ala wants you and I to have an understanding and

[7:44]a constitution of protection against the vices and the ills and the

[7:48]shortcomings and the mistakes and the problems that these individuals have Allah

[7:52]subhana T wants to hold us accountable on the day of judgment

[7:55]if you knew F was arrogant and wretched why did you display

[8:00]the same characteristics as an individual that I constantly reminded you about

[8:05]in the Quran that is of great importance hence you recognize the

[8:09]Quran mentions other individuals who are wretched and reminds us and pinpoints

[8:14]certain aspects of their lives for example you have konun was relative

[8:18]of M some say he was his cousin karun recognized the truth

[8:22]butun was infatuated with the love of this world and because he

[8:28]had the sence of alchemy he was able to turn metal into

[8:31]gold he became arrogant self-centered his ego ballooned and he started to

[8:36]say whatever I have is from me and he started to demonstrate

[8:41]this wealth towards others and show off people said to him don't

[8:45]do this Allah will punish you yes don't be of the individuals

[8:48]who are transgressors did not listen Allah says all his wealth as

[8:55]well as himself and those with him Allah says we made the

[8:57]Earth swallow them you have people like for example you have people

[9:04]like these two are not mentioned by name but referred to in

[9:08]the Quran what is interesting about these as well as others that

[9:13]I've just referred to are people who somehow had some inclination or

[9:18]some understanding of the truth yet despite this they chose to be

[9:22]on the path of Satan that these individuals were able to embrace

[9:26]the truth were able to take the righteous path for examplea this

[9:30]individual we're told at the time of B is 70 years of

[9:34]age and of Allah for many many years but what happened when

[9:39]Allah tested him when that lady was placed for him to look

[9:41]after and she was not well he committed what fornication then he

[9:45]killed her and then he was killed and he lost to this

[9:50]world and Allah places these examples for us to take he because

[9:54]the Quran is not a book of Storytelling the Quran gives us

[9:59]what is known as the philosophy of religion meaning Allah wa's stories

[10:04]in the Quran are factual and are practical in that in the

[10:11]stories there are always many morals for every human being till the

[10:15]end of time you will not be able to look at the

[10:19]story in the Quran and say that's very nice but it doesn't

[10:21]appeal to me at all or doesn't apply to my life whatsoever

[10:24]Allah says these stories are the best that Allah has chosen in

[10:33]the Quran therefore if Allah tells us about wretched individuals I need

[10:38]to know much more about people like Omar to make a distinction

[10:43]between H and B not to fall in the same traps like

[10:49]and others fell but what is interesting about this individual is that

[10:53]he differs from the other enemies of God who confronted the Imam

[10:57]Alam and the companions in which way Omar was hesitant constantly as

[11:05]we will discuss he wasn't particularly sure about what to do he

[11:08]had a lot of doubt he swayed from one side to another

[11:12]we don't find this in the other wretched individuals like Shimmer for

[11:17]example like Hara and so on they were bent on destruction transgression

[11:21]and evil Omar at the beginning was very much weakened yes he

[11:25]was shaken and he had many options presented to him how did

[11:30]he take these options most of us are aware but in order

[11:35]for us to take a more comprehensive look let's examine what areas

[11:39]in his life that he fell in order for you and I

[11:44]not to repeat the same mistakes when we look at this individual

[11:46]we are told that like many others we are not able to

[11:52]tell of exact age or the date of his birth we are

[11:56]not aware when he was born but his first major appearance in

[11:59]historical works is in the year 17 after Hijra when he accompanied

[12:03]his father in Iraq in the Conquering of Iraq who is his

[12:10]father his father is whomi abias in the narration by our brothers

[12:15]theah is considered one of the 10 promised Paradise in this narration

[12:22]which they believe is authentic they say there are 10 whom Allah

[12:27]subhana T promised Paradise this includes the first four KS including Amir

[12:31]as well as T and Zu which fought and were killed in

[12:39]the battlefield or on the Battle of jaml and the belief is

[12:44]that they're all grouped together in Paradise even though one stood against

[12:47]each other in this D one of the 10 is he was

[12:52]there at the time of the holy prophet he fought in bad

[12:55]he fought in h he fought in and his rise to fame

[13:02]was when the second sent him towards Iraq in order to what

[13:06]in order to expand the Muslim state so to speak in the

[13:13]battle known Asad in the year 17 after Hijra he was successful

[13:16]and when he did so he went to kufa and he himself

[13:21]would um erect and build the the palace that was later taken

[13:31]by the ruler rers and the governors of the kaiths in kufa

[13:36]itself later after that what did SAS do he went to Iran

[13:42]and he was also responsible for what responsible for forcing people to

[13:47]because becoming Muslim the second Khalifa made him his governor in kufa

[13:53]and he remained there until 21 years after Hijra where people complained

[13:59]of his corruption and there he was what he was replaced one

[14:03]thing about him was that he refused later to give allegiance [Applause]

[14:19]to yet of course like abdah and the others who refused to

[14:28]give did not force him to give Allegiance as long as he

[14:32]did not rise and cause and stare FNA or perpetrate violence what

[14:39]we are told is despite not giving to at the time of

[14:42]mu he refused to mention anything against the commander of the faithful

[14:48]was not necessarily A Lover of but when mua said to him

[14:56]why is it that you are not speaking ill and cursing Abu

[15:03]in reference to the father ofar says that he has three qualities

[15:12]I wish that I had one of them he has three amazing

[15:13]things I wish that I was given at least one of them

[15:18]what are they he says the first is on the day of

[15:21]when one companion after other returned unsuccessful and the prophet of Islam

[15:27]says where is Ali he was told he has an eye illness

[15:32]he said bring him to me and he placed his holy saliva

[15:37]on the eyes of Ali then he said I will give this

[15:50]standard this flag tomorrow to an individual who loves Allah and his

[15:54]messenger and Allah and his messenger love him [Music] [Applause] [Music] he

[16:13]advances to the battlefield he never runs away do you know why

[16:18]the prophet said that because others run away the prophet of Islam

[16:22]says everyone was excited who is this particular individual of course it

[16:28]was none other than the command of the faithful and S said

[16:32]that I wish that day it would have been me but it

[16:37]was indeed whom it was and look at this honorable individual the

[16:40]commander of the faithful he dislodged the gates of and afterwards he

[16:44]sat there and he had a piece of bread which was hard

[16:48]he tried to break it he used his knees but it would

[16:52]not break they said to him Ali you dislodged the gates of

[16:54]K with your hands but you can't break that bread he said

[16:58]I disl that gate of K because it's for Allah that piece

[17:00]of bread is for myself and by the way these people around

[17:15]him and even today have hassad and even evil eye yes upon

[17:19]him yes Allah subhana wa tala said do they come and practice

[17:27]hassad over what Allah subhana T has favored them because I tell

[17:30]you when we have a narration that says I am the city

[17:36]of knowledge and Ali is it gate how can people come and

[17:41]say fulan this person is the window have you ever seen anyone

[17:46]enter a house through a window unless they're breaking in and and

[17:52]there are narrations that says extra ex person is the back door

[17:55]these people sakif yes when you steal you can enter through the

[18:02]window no doubt the idea is what the idea is that fees

[18:07]says I want one of them the second is what he says

[18:12]when the prophet of Islam left towards tabuk he left Ali and

[18:17]Medina and when the started to speak he famously said is to

[18:25]me you are to me Al like what Aon was to Moses

[18:29]except that there is no Prophet after me and the third one

[18:34]he says is what he says when the prophet went to meet

[18:37]the Christians of Nan and when Allah revealed the verse yes after

[18:45]talking about his children and his women he took with him none

[18:53]other than the realization is that said how can I speak ill

[18:57]of an individual who has these who has these virtues without a

[19:00]shadow of a doubt and therefore you recognize that we are told

[19:05]in historical records that muaah because of this poisoned him poisoned who

[19:10]his son Omar we are told that one of his main prominent

[19:16]appearances after his father was at the time of and what happened

[19:23]to him during the kingdom of muawiya in which way muaah had

[19:28]a governor in Bas and kufa known as ZB ABI who is

[19:35]the father of whoah zad or they so say yes and so

[19:41]what happened was that was vocal in his support for he was

[19:46]an individual who would continuously fragrance his presence and that of others

[19:53]by speaking about the Excellence of the commander of the faithful and

[19:57]speaking about oppression of benay therefore zad ABI says sends him and

[20:05]12 others or 11 others they were all 12 together towards muawiya

[20:08]in sham but he says there are people who have witnessed that

[20:12]these individuals are wretched and they will cause your kingdom to shake

[20:17]and they will weaken the resolve of the people to follow you

[20:21]one of those who witnessed that was a rebellious individual causing F

[20:27]was so there were already seeds of Discord and NF and hypocrisy

[20:35]that began from that particular stage and when hij reached an area

[20:40]outside Dees mua sent him yes a letter and said to him

[20:46]what he said to him I want you to denounce ALB I

[20:49]want you to go against him hij responds he says the sword

[20:57]is much better for me than going to Janam by speaking ill

[21:03]of Ali you want me to go to Janam by speaking ill

[21:06]of am yes we are told he came the person who's about

[21:12]to execute him because mu said if they do not denounce Ali

[21:14]then behead them all yes this man who was about to behead

[21:19]came to him and said extend your neck he said wah I

[21:21]will never help you to execute me he said then do let

[21:26]me do it he said before you do this let me pray

[21:30]so he then he said I want you to execute my son

[21:32]his son was there with them they said to him why he

[21:37]said because I don't want him to see his father being executed

[21:40]lest that gives him weakness in the will of yes such were

[21:49]these wonderful examples in the path of the commander of the faithful

[21:53]Allah we have these narrations about the bravery and about the Loyalty

[21:58]of these vulnerable individuals who today history is indeed proud of them

[22:04]who recognized whom they are following who recognized whom they' have dedicated

[22:08]their lives towards the narrations tell us they recognized what happens in

[22:11]Jenna because there is a very famous narration in Jenna that says

[22:17]what that says on the day of in Paradise the people of

[22:19]paradise and may Allah make us all of the people of paradise

[22:23]will witness that the sun will rise because in Paradise there is

[22:29]no sun there's no sun there's no day there's no night so

[22:34]they Wonder this immense powerful light that we are just witnessing it

[22:40]looks like the sun is rising what is it they ask the

[22:46]malaa they say the Mala respond this is the new that emanates

[22:50]and is seen from the mouth of alali when he smiles [Applause]

[23:00]these individuals recognized whom they're associating with this path toward salvation and

[23:07]success was one of the yes but what happened was this wretched

[23:15]individual comes forward and says what and Witnesses thatd the grandson of

[23:23]the holy prophet has sent an ambassador towards kufa he's present in

[23:28]kufa that's where he was living and he sees Muslim arrive in

[23:31]kufa immediately he writes a letter to wh to yazid and he

[23:36]says if you don't want kufa to be lost then change the

[23:39]governor bash this the governor was weak yes his daughter was married

[23:46]to whom was married to M and he had a soft spot

[23:52]therefore he wasn't necessarily according toar strong enough so yazid when he

[23:59]received the letter ofar and s decided to tellah zad to leave

[24:01]Bas and to come to where and to come towards Kua in

[24:07]the presence when came to kufa he sought to be his advisor

[24:16]he wanted him to somehow give him support but there was the

[24:21]first major Examination for this individual in which way when abah heard

[24:26]of the movement of IM Hussein Alam he wrote a letter to

[24:32]yazid that this is going to happen yazid before that had said

[24:35]toar in another letter he said to him I want you to

[24:42]go and crush a rebellion outside the city of Ray modern day

[24:46]tahan because there was a rebellion there and then you can become

[24:52]the governor I give you this Ray it was a fertile land

[24:54]it was a land that people sought especially this individual sought it

[24:58]I want you to go take these individuals these soldiers and free

[25:04]that land from these rebellious individuals began preparing the Army zad came

[25:11]to him and said to him before you go to Ray I

[25:16]want you to lead this same army take it towards carala confront

[25:22]Hussein Ali when you finish you can come back and Ray is

[25:27]yours the M the kingdom of Reay which belong to you yes

[25:34]you see Shan doesn't begin the wias and the whisperings and the

[25:39]Temptations by what by offering the act as it is it starts

[25:47]small gradually today we have a problem that problem is we are

[25:52]stimulated by triggers all around us that push us towards the shaan

[25:59]in which way for example some people say you know I am

[26:04]not an individual who feels in pain or feels bad when I

[26:10]commit a sin when I God forbid transgress against Allah I don't

[26:15]feel that sense of guilt why what's wrong with me why is

[26:21]it that I don't feel bad about it it's very easy you

[26:22]know what the prophet of Islam says he says when a Believer

[26:27]commits a sin it's as if a huge Rock has landed on

[26:28]their chest when a disbeliever commits a sin it's like a fly

[26:33]that sits on their nose and they push it out there is

[26:37]a problem that problem is a result of two things number one

[26:43]what today has been called as triggers and stimuli let me give

[26:47]you an example how Shan has a plan which is formulated for

[26:50]each and every individual he knew exactly the weakness of and he

[26:57]knows exactly our own weaknesses I watching a movie for example which

[27:00]I think to be normal movie about action movie there is a

[27:03]scene that I'm not supposed to look at there is a scene

[27:09]which is Haram what happens is when I look at that and

[27:12]I think and the Shan may come to me and say it's

[27:14]only few seconds yes if I look at that already the trigger

[27:22]has been stimulated already the thought has been implemented next time when

[27:28]there is another movie which has much more o offensive sites islamically

[27:33]that we are not allowed to look I have much more of

[27:36]a courage to look at it because I have already submitted to

[27:41]it it starts very gradually because you know sometimes people say do

[27:46]I look at for example a Haram movie all together yes without

[27:53]any preludes no it grows it strengthens as time goes on you

[27:56]see for example today YouTube has a lot of benefits no doubt

[27:58]we can watch malis you can watch for example Quran Dua remembrance

[28:07]of has many benefits but there are these suggestions on the right

[28:11]hand side these suggestions on right hand side don't underestimate how Shan

[28:19]has a share in YouTube these suggestions and others or messages that

[28:25]you get sent are all triggers and stim Uli don't think that

[28:29]it's a small clip or a short duration think about the impact

[28:36]it has on your soul and how your soul is then ready

[28:39]to go to the next level how your soul is then ready

[28:44]to see more to listen to more God forbid there is a

[28:47]music that is Haram yes you listen to a little bit next

[28:51]day you'll listen to more next day you will be okay with

[28:53]it and that is why sometimes we take these sins very very

[29:00]lightly because we have reached a stage in which our souls have

[29:05]been desensitized from sins in that we don't feel it anymore it's

[29:10]like general anesthetic or local anesthetic you know dentists they apply local

[29:15]anesthetics we can do whatever they wish on the teeth and you

[29:18]have no idea there's no pain doctors Physicians they do the same

[29:24]for the body if it is localized or if it's General we

[29:26]don't feel the pain of sinning because we have injected ourselves with

[29:34]that anesthesia that anesthesia is the lack of TAA and God Consciousness

[29:39]when it comes to small acts of Disobedience that small acts are

[29:46]very detrimental says don't look at the size of the sin look

[29:49]at who you're sinning against the realization therefore is that om would

[29:56]think with himself this is an opportunity for me to be a

[30:02]governor this is an opportunity to have an area in which my

[30:08]father conquered this is my aspiration in life it started that way

[30:12]it didn't start with the idea that go and kill Hussein go

[30:17]and kill his companions yes and we'll reward you it started with

[30:22]temptation that draws the individual towards that particular heus act but Omar

[30:29]had Choice had an option and he was somehow undecided he recognized

[30:35]that by standing against AB abdah by moving this Army towards carala

[30:40]he would be committing a major crimes and at that Junction we

[30:47]are told that he was wavering he went to the people of

[30:49]kufa he said to them what should I do they said don't

[30:53]you dare commit this crime beware of Allah you will never see

[30:57]success people advised him yet there was too much love of dun

[31:00]in his heart there was too much materialism tendency in his heart

[31:07]and you know there is a poem that he recited which highlighted

[31:10]and presented to you and I the story of how sometimes we

[31:16]are in a struggle between the love of Allah and the love

[31:19]of this world you see this particular individual he says this he

[31:22]says for I don't know and I am confused I think about

[31:32]my matters and I have two choices shall I leave the rulership

[31:39]of modern day but it's my desire it's my wish or I

[31:47]come back with the grave sin of the killing of Hussein they

[31:55]say Allah has created J and there is n there is hell

[32:03]and there is punishment and there is the chaining of the hands

[32:08]if they are truthful about what they're saying if they're truthful about

[32:16]this J after I commit this I will seek Toba Allah in

[32:20]about two years time Shan has entrapped him you see recently one

[32:27]of the sister has contacted me she's 16 years of age yes

[32:32]her parents were very concerned she was wearing hijab yes she came

[32:35]forward she said can I please talk to you I said yes

[32:38]she said I'm thinking to take off the hijab I said why

[32:40]she said I'm not convinced I said I can convince you she

[32:44]said I'm not wearing it for Allah I'm wearing it because of

[32:46]my parents I said when you take it off why do you

[32:49]want to achieve what do you want to achieve she said I

[32:50]promise you in two years time I'll wear it back again I

[32:53]just want to enjoy these two years I said to her what

[32:58]guarantees you have your live for these two years she it's okay

[33:00]if I die I die notice that this idea in the Quran

[33:05]Allah subhana wa tala has mentioned what does Allah subh say in

[33:08]the Quran in vers in chapter 76 verse 27 there are people

[33:15]who like the short term and they forget what comes after it

[33:24]a heavy day that is the day of Allah says there are

[33:29]people who looking for short fixes there are people looking for short

[33:32]pleas Pleasures there are people looking only for their enjoyment today and

[33:37]tomorrow they don't hold back and think hold on a minute what

[33:42]is going to come after tomorrow what's going to come as far

[33:45]as the day of is concerned was the man one of the

[33:48]manifestations of this verse he wanted his short-term pleasures and he sold

[33:56]his for his D But the irony is he never got the

[33:59]duny anyway he never even had the pleasure of D regardless of

[34:06]what getting anything in he decides to go and take the Army

[34:11]towards abdah here I would like to pose a question how do

[34:17]we make sure we don't commit similar acts of sin and transgression

[34:22]like this wretched individual how do I be a person who when

[34:27]is given a choice between two things one that pleases Allah one

[34:34]that displeases Allah I choose the right one and why did he

[34:36]choose the wrong one you see of spirituality and please pay attention

[34:40]to this because this is critical in our understanding and our journey

[34:43]in life if you wish to know why certain people do certain

[34:45]things and why others stand strong I call it turning point we

[34:52]have in our lives each and every one of us will be

[34:54]given a number of turning points pivotal points in which we have

[34:59]to make a stance let me give you a story to illustrate

[35:01]how this is we are told at the time of say one

[35:06]of our a few hundred years ago an individual who was very

[35:13]Pious well known respected and he was known to have some communication

[35:16]with the Holy 12th IM he one day decided to go to

[35:30]the Iraqi city of H where I am from yes and when

[35:31]he went to H he was received by the masses by the

[35:36]people because of is coming to their city but at that time

[35:39]many of the businessmen many of the they were competing so that

[35:45]the mar lives in their house when he is staying in that

[35:48]City so when they entered when he entered that particular City what

[35:53]happened he looked around and said I would like to stay in

[35:57]that person's house and he pointed to an individual who is neither

[36:00]an Al neither a tribesman head of tribe neither a businessman just

[36:04]an average individual in the mindset of people and people were surprised

[36:09]but no one said anything he went and sat with this person

[36:12]and lived with him for a number of days observing what he

[36:16]did he noticed that he was an average person he would pray

[36:19]he would fast he would do whatever is necessary there was nothing

[36:22]extraordinary about him one day he decided to speak to him say

[36:27]says to that Med can I ask you have you done anything

[36:29]extraordinary in your life something special that you're proud of this person

[36:33]said I can't recall anything particular he says dig dick deeper maybe

[36:38]there is something he said there is one thing I'm embarrassed to

[36:40]tell you but because you've asked me and you I'll tell you

[36:43]said what is it he said molana 10 years ago I decided

[36:46]to get married and I went and sought a lady from an

[36:51]honorable family and they agreed and everything was good alhamdulillah we got

[36:56]married that night of marriage I discovered that she has had relationships

[37:00]in the past and she had kept it secret I was enraged

[37:03]with anger I stood up and I said to her I will

[37:07]go to your family now I will divulge this secret and I

[37:13]will tell the community how dare you deceive me how dare you

[37:16]keep this High because if I knew I would never have married

[37:22]you you have wronged me it's my right my H you have

[37:24]taken it away from me he says I was full of anger

[37:28]I was walking towards the door she called me and said I

[37:33]beg you don't do this maybe my family will get rid of

[37:38]Me Maybe I I will never marry in my life maybe my

[37:40]reputation will be destroyed in the community if you don't do this

[37:45]I will be the best wife that I can ever be for

[37:46]you and if you forgive me he says that was my moment

[37:51]I decided at that moment what should I do I had an

[37:55]option which was legitimate I can go and tell people necessarily doing

[37:59]anything wrong as such that I would say look she HD something

[38:01]from me but I had a better option he said to him

[38:05]M I never told a single person from that day till today

[38:08]you're the first person I decided to keep quiet I decided to

[38:14]be patient say immediately Rose and said that is why that is

[38:18]why he said what do you mean he didn't say a word

[38:22]when he was about to leave the city people came to him

[38:26]M we have to ask you this question why did you stay

[38:31]in that person's house tell us say said it was not my

[38:36]decision it was his decision it was that honorable individual decision yes

[38:44]IM the 12th holy IM sometimes when you are in a particular

[38:48]position we are in a pivotal state in our lives where we

[38:54]can make a dramatic decision that shapes the destiny and shapes our

[38:59]journey it is truly a deci it's truly a point that each

[39:09]and every one of us will go yes had this how do

[39:10]we determine this because we are told in our soul Allah has

[39:16]given us two essential Powers one is the one is the Shah

[39:19]one is the innate nature one is desire yes what happens is

[39:26]f is driven towards Allah f is a compass that turns towards

[39:29]Allah subhana wa tala Allah created us with the which is encapsulated

[39:35]with with the Oneness of Allah if we want spirituality we stick

[39:40]to the F yes we go back to our Essence Shah is

[39:46]not all bad it's there for our physical Pleasures it's there for

[39:50]reproduction it's there for satisfying of our needs such as thirst and

[39:57]hunger yes but what happens is when we lose control Shah desire

[40:02]overpowers F and that is where we make decisions like om in

[40:08]our lives there is always a battle between andah between what Allah

[40:14]has created us and The Temptations and the desires those who are

[40:20]successful are those that empower the F and make it rule over

[40:25]the Shah so as the that you all know when that happens

[40:29]they become better than the Mal but when the desire overcomes the

[40:37]they become worse than the animals and you ask me a question

[40:43]give me an example in the Quran of people who had this

[40:45]choice and they chose the F they were the Egyptian magicians at

[40:51]the time of prophet M Alam you see when they came to

[40:54]said to them I will give you anything and everything whatever you

[41:00]wish I will provide you as long as you defeat Moses when

[41:03]they came forward and they saw the miracle of Musa was not

[41:08]a stick that was moving due to Mercury and the Rays of

[41:10]the Sun hitting it it was truly a serpent a snake that

[41:15]swallowed all their sticks immediately because they were driven more than Shah

[41:20]driven they all went down and they immediately chose that path because

[41:29]it was not the Shah now that was driving them it was

[41:34]their now it was that believe in Allah because that idea had

[41:39]become clear in their minds we unfortunately if we listen to our

[41:46]desires we unfortunately become slaves of our Shah and please understand this

[41:51]point sometimes people say but you know we as M are too

[41:56]harsh don't do this don't do that it's okay from time to

[41:58]time I'll make a mistake I commit a and and it'll be

[42:03]okay when you and I are listening to their evil desires and

[42:08]when we commit that is wrong even if it's a small quantity

[42:11]we are giving the green light to our soul to our animalistic

[42:15]side of our NPS to ask more and more and then God

[42:21]forbid we become driven by our desire we have to nip it

[42:25]in the butt it's like an animal if we don't domesticate it

[42:28]if we don't make tame it if we don't control it it

[42:35]becomes wild then we can't control it yes and we are [Applause]

[42:50]told he says it is mys I exercise it through tawa meaning

[43:00]let just like how somebody wants to make sure that their muscle

[43:04]is utilized if they're an athlete or a body builder they go

[43:06]to the gym they exercise they stretch the muscles you and I

[43:11]must stretch the muscles of our soul by TAA and by driving

[43:14]being driven through the F we have to go through it that

[43:18]way there is no other option yes the realization today is what

[43:21]is that Allah says there are those who take their as their

[43:27]ha the Quran says in chapter 45: 23 there are those who

[43:33]consider their desires as their Lords and we see them around us

[43:36]no doubt whatever there is enjoyment I want to have it and

[43:41]you know I've seen people sometimes say or they stick things in

[43:44]their cars not much here in the United States in UK they

[43:48]do right it's a sticker on their cars it says You Only

[43:50]Live Once enjoy it you seen those why because you say it's

[43:57]okay and then they have these bucket list 30 things I have

[44:00]to do before I die yes because it's all about driven about

[44:04]enjoyment and fun there is nothing in Islam against fun per se

[44:10]provided it doesn't drive you towards become the party of Shan and

[44:14]that unfortunately happens and one of the examples of this is this

[44:17]wretched individual yes who today millions of people throughout history have sent

[44:24]their upon him because of that one decision that he made imagine

[44:30]that he had that choice and then he what later saw another

[44:32]man who had a choice had the same Choice had the same

[44:38]opportunity and when was walking back and forth said to him are

[44:47]you hesitant what's wrong with you I am making a decision between

[44:56]J and Janam you have lost in your decision ohar but I

[45:01]will make the right decision I will never choose anything above abdah

[45:05]and he rides his horse and goes towards Hussein yes decides he

[45:11]takes an army of 4,000 and he reaches carala either on the

[45:14]third or the fourth of the month of muharam 61 after hij

[45:19]when he reaches there what does he do he is still not

[45:22]sure about hoping that he doesn't have to commit the crimes because

[45:28]today I have seen when undertaking research about the life of this

[45:31]person there are even Scholars today and in the past who praise

[45:33]him they say he was like a pigeon in the mosque he

[45:38]would come to the mosque he would pray he would remember Allah

[45:40]he would read the Quran some Scholars today from other schools consider

[45:44]him a they narrate his Hadith yes they consider that he's trustworthy

[45:49]because so-call he used to perform the Salah and you know why

[45:54]that is one brother in Haj asked me a few weeks ago

[45:59]when he saw what was happening when he saw he asked me

[46:01]why why are they not seeing the truth I said to them

[46:04]Allah subhah wa tala in the Quran he tells us that he

[46:08]places the light in the hearts of individuals that gives them the

[46:12]ability to disciple between H and B that light is the Quran

[46:15]and the when you don't have those two it becomes blood you

[46:20]will not be able to see what is true and what is

[46:25]false you start to somehow Imagine This man yes he committed crimes

[46:28]yes but he's still a good person you started to say I

[46:31]remember when this wretched dictator of Iraq Sadam was hanged I myself

[46:38]received emails from friends from other schools who said don't say anything

[46:41]bad about him because when the Rope was on his neck he

[46:44]said Allah he's killed Millions he's committed crimes chemical weapons but just

[46:50]because he said brother he's a Muslim he okay can you see

[46:56]how weak and how shallow some people can become the realization is

[47:00]that what when he reached carala on the 7th of the month

[47:05]of muharam he received a letter from ya from zad that said

[47:09]cut the water supply from the Caravan from the side of Hussein

[47:13]and he sent with a number of soldiers and they would cut

[47:19]the water supply from this particular uh group of holy individuals but

[47:25]you see despite his actions the Spirit of the was a spirit

[47:31]of love and spirit of compassion and that which gives people opportunitiesin

[47:37]did not give up of he himself would call and say where

[47:42]is Omar I want to speak to him today in carala there

[47:48]is a place where they say and it's still preserved where Imam

[47:55]met this individual and Imam spoke to him he said to him

[47:59]oh the son of are you going to kill me aren't you

[48:06]not afraid of Allah that you're going to return to that is

[48:11]where you are going to go do you not know who I

[48:16]am the son of do you not know who I am don't

[48:23]you want to be with me and leave these people I guarantee

[48:29]you by doing this you're going to get close to Allah subhana

[48:33]tala sometimes in our lives we give up on people we see

[48:39]individuals who God forbid are into drugs are into illicit relationships they

[48:42]don't come to mosque they don't for example engage and we say

[48:46]there is no hope in them forget it I'm not talking to

[48:49]them or within the family members people often ask should I dissociate

[48:52]my relationship with people who have committed certain acts and certain sins

[48:57]there is always a chance ask Allah for the hi of these

[49:02]people sometimes we need to give them the on the day of

[49:07]if I do not do what I can in this world they

[49:12]will say to Allah my family member my friend never came and

[49:17]advised meah on the plains ofala knowing exactly who is tries to

[49:23]dissuade him tries to appeal to his conscience speaks to his heart

[49:27]yes and he did so for the others as well on his

[49:32]through a number of sermons responds to the IM he says to

[49:35]him he says to him but I have a problem he said

[49:38]what is it he said my property my houses Imam said I

[49:44]will give you better he says my wealth he said I will

[49:49]give you Gardens in Medina come with me and there are Gardens

[49:52]and farms in Medina I will give you that man says I'm

[49:58]afraid my family will be killed byah Z One excuse after the

[50:02]other Imam tried and tried and tried but this man had reached

[50:09]the point Quran tells us Allah says when you commit certain crimes

[50:17]when you make certain decisions when you perpetrate sin after sin Allah

[50:22]seals your heart when Allah seals your heart there is no going

[50:29]back there is no return When the heart becomes darkened when the

[50:33]heart is sealed that's the end for the human being and do

[50:36]you know how the heart is sealed it's not that God the

[50:40]almighty subhana T is unjust no it's through the actions of the

[50:43]human beings the six holy Imam says your heart is like a

[50:48]white piece of cloth you put a dot in it if you

[50:49]don't clean it what happens it becomes embedded in the fabric then

[50:53]other dot then other dot until the heart becomes so darkened full

[51:01]of Blackness and it's too late recognize that this individual it was

[51:07]too late but he still wanted to give him a chance he

[51:10]still want to and Allah says to M speak to him softly

[51:19]this says I am your Supreme Lord doesn't Allah know that this

[51:23]is too late for him but it's to say to us don't

[51:26]give up on human beings look at every individual as an opportunity

[51:31]as a person who can come back to the path and that's

[51:37]why you find that Omar would reject the IM and the Imam

[51:40]would then make a Dua he would supplicate and he say he

[51:46]says I ask Allah that you are slaughtered whilst you are in

[51:53]your bed and I ask Allah not to forgive your sins on

[51:55]the day of judgment for Allah by Allah I have asked Allah

[52:04]that you do not have any risk or sustenance from irq except

[52:06]a little bit then laughs at IM and says it's okay I'll

[52:12]have malt that would be enough for me and he walks away

[52:14]yes when it came to the eve of as said what he

[52:19]said we would like to attack them we would like to fight

[52:25]them before that he sent a letter to yazid he said to

[52:27]yazid there is now hope the fire has been extinguished there is

[52:35]Unity Hussein is willing to give to ya let rather whilst receiving

[52:38]the letter he got another letter from shim Shimmer said Don't listen

[52:43]to he's weak if you let Hussein go forget about your rule

[52:47]and the role of yazid writes a letter to he says I

[52:52]did not send you to make peace with Hussein I sent you

[52:56]to take a forceful B from him he doesn't give you there

[52:58]and then behead him and mulate their bodies and take their families

[53:04]as captives if you don't do so I will make Shimmer the

[53:07]head of the army when Shimmer showed this letter or when Omar

[53:11]let this letter this increased the jealousy in him yes this increased

[53:15]the willingness to fight Imam and to what and to reject any

[53:21]possibility of leaving their leaving the IM and his family and that's

[53:29]why he wanted to commence the battle on the ninth but Imam

[53:33]sent him a message that allow us this night because we would

[53:36]like to spend it in in the remembrance of Allah and the

[53:44]recitation of Quran no doubt the campsite of Omar spent that night

[53:48]the eve of a whilst in the state of intoxication as well

[53:54]as listening to all kinds of different music whereas the side of

[53:59]Hussein Ali peace be upon him wear up and down in remembrance

[54:05]of Allah like the humming of the bees and so on the

[54:11]10th morning Omar listens to the sermon of the Imam yes and

[54:14]at the same time does what at the same time picks up

[54:19]an arrow and shoots it towards the side of the Imam and

[54:21]says bear witness with the Amir with the governor I was the

[54:27]one who commenced the battle and I was the one the first

[54:32]one to shoot an arrow towards the side of ab abdah Hussein

[54:35]and therefore the battle commenced during the battle this individual this Wretched

[54:42]Man would constantly say to his army don't go and fight these

[54:46]people one by one go and fight them four against one 10

[54:51]against one because they will defeat you he recognized Who asab and

[54:56]the an of Hussein are he cons pushed his his companions and

[55:00]his army towards this particular strategy and he was malicious and evil

[55:06]in many actions one of them is he came to a man

[55:11]by the name of he said to him do you know that

[55:15]man who's fighting he said yes do you know who that man

[55:18]is he said who is it he said that man is Al

[55:20]I want you to go and kill him T said you have

[55:26]the kingdom of and you want me to go and kill him

[55:31]what are you going to give me give me something said I'll

[55:35]give you you can have M he said how am I guaranteed

[55:37]that I'll get mul if I kill aliar he said I'll give

[55:43]you my ring so he gave him what his ring and this

[55:49]went and the lion of Allah on the battlefield finished him but

[55:52]this was whom this was the characteristics of this wretched individual who

[55:57]went so into the whisperings and The Temptations of Shan that his

[56:02]heart filled with Venom his heart filled with hatred towards the holy

[56:07]towards Hussein and that's why we are told that amongst a number

[56:15]of his crimes were what a number of his crimes was that

[56:17]he was the one who told har Slaughter the six month old

[56:25]he said he was the one whom when she stood on the

[56:33]hill adressed and said oh Omar are you going to let Hussein

[56:40]die Omar was the man who said to the army of his

[56:47]don't give water to Hussein when he was in the last moments

[56:51]he was asking for water he said don't feed him any water

[56:53]he was the one that said surround him yes and he was

[57:00]the one who cried out who is going to finish his life

[57:05]that's he was the one who stole the shield of abdah after

[57:11]he was mared he was the one who cried out who is

[57:17]going to burn the tents of the he said he was the

[57:24]one who said where are the 10 Horsemen who will dig their

[57:28]heels onto the chest of Hussein he was the one that paraded

[57:37]the family members of the from one city to another humiliating them

[57:43]torturing them tormenting them amongst the list of his atrocities and his

[57:48]crimes but you know exactly asdah Hussein said materialized as far as

[57:56]this man is concerned because he never attained the kingdom of Ray

[58:00]he was disgraced when he returned back to kufa he was the

[58:05]subject of mockery of children and people laughed at him yes and

[58:09]eventually in the year 66 after hij when M became the governor

[58:16]of kufa he sought Omar narrations tell us Omar's sister was also

[58:23]the wife of M but M did not spare the life of

[58:30]this individual yes he said I will avenge the blood of carala

[58:33]and that's why we are told what we are told that he

[58:39]sent his trusted Commander M's trusted Commander Kanan towards the house ofar

[58:44]he went inside the house looking for him he was on his

[58:47]bed when he came to his bed he would refuse to come

[58:51]because MTAR wanted to arrest him to make him go through trial

[58:54]but Omar would by that time he was disgraced with fight whilst

[59:00]he is sitting on his bed and Kanan finished him and bought

[59:05]his head towards m m sent the head towards the fourth IM

[59:11]Z and we are told the head reached the IM on the

[59:13]9th of one of the reasons why the celebrated at that time

[59:22]because they saw the head of Omar but with the head ofar

[59:28]was his with his his son H who is there inala and

[59:31]when im said to allow us to pray he was hesitant his

[59:36]son ha said don't let Hussein pray keep fighting him H was

[59:40]arrested by MTAR he was bought MTAR said to him what do

[59:45]you think I should do with you H said there is no

[59:48]point of living He said your father killed Hussein and killed Ali

[59:52]but W if I killed you and have killed your father you

[59:57]are not not worth and it is not avenging the pure blood

[60:00]of these holy individuals it's not the same these holy individuals cannot

[60:05]be ever compensated so therefore he killed whom this particular son of

[60:11]Omar and this man remained the subject of condemnation and the withdrawal

[60:19]of Allah subhanahu wa tala's Mercy for centuries as a disgraced person

[60:24]who stood against the and no doubt this is the result of

[60:31]every individual who challenges the who when they're presented with a chance

[60:36]to join the the path of Salvation the ship of success and

[60:39]Jen and refuses to do so such is their fate such will

[60:46]be how they will encounter no doubt yes and today we find

[60:49]what do we find we find examples of individuals who stand against

[60:56]the in many different ways including Those who commit crimes against the

[61:01]Shia of the in different parts of the world those who plow

[61:04]themselves inside the maalis inside the processions killed the innocent civilians when

[61:10]it came when it comes to the commemoration and the honoring of

[61:15]the of the and those who stand the against theit are those

[61:23]who destroy the shrines of you see now in mam in m

[61:26]inala in Sam in Z in Sham in in in many places

[61:35]around the world there are malalis there are people crying there are

[61:39]people doing M but there is no one crying in J the

[61:45]imams are alone in no one is able to do a in

[61:52]next to the imams you know it the poem says speaks to

[61:56]says oh you have shrines you have millions of visitors where are

[62:05]my shrines where are my visitors the darkness of the night is

[62:10]all that I see I do not hear the M of Hussein

[62:15]when will I hear the of Al no doubt but I ask

[62:21]you who is buried in you have what should we say about

[62:27]all her life was for when bisher came and said who is

[62:32]this lady she looked at him and says tell me about Hussein

[62:37]inform me about Hussein he says may Allah give you patience over

[62:41]the loss of your son Abdullah she says tell me Hussein he

[62:44]says may Allah give you patience over the loss of your son

[62:50]ja she says Hussein he says Abbas is gone she drops the

[62:54]son of Abbas she was carrying but she said hus say tell

[63:00]me of she would sit in and she would have Graves for

[63:04]her four sons who were fallen on the plains ofala those four

[63:10]imams who are buried in J you know these four IMS all

[63:13]our imams had a relationship with the with IM Hussein but these

[63:18]four imams in particular IM sits next to his brother and cries
