[2:41]with time in 2015 i had the opportunity and the honor to

[2:49]serve as president of the hussein islamic center peterborough that's when my

[3:01]to to join the leadership development programme of the council european of

[3:08]jamaat and i have been involved since with various organization and this

[3:13]is all started from peterborough hussein islamic center my first journey to

[3:18]hajj started in this jamaat my first trip to zyarat of imam

[3:24]al-hussein alayhi salaam started from peterborough in fact it was instigated by

[3:30]one of the brothers in the center and this journey has never

[3:35]stopped i still benefit from the people of this community and this

[3:39]is to show you the importance a community center like this place

[3:44]and how we should be all supporting this community center there is

[3:48]a story that i'm going to share with you tonight which is

[3:51]very close to my heart this is a story that i have

[3:55]shared with many people throughout my journey around the world for fundraising

[3:59]for al qaime at the time of rasulullah peace be upon him

[4:03]there was a merchant a date merchant who had died and he

[4:07]had left his will and in his will he had asked rasulullah

[4:13]to distribute all the dates in his warehouse to the poor people

[4:17]of madina rasulullah took the companions and went to the warehouse and

[4:20]tried to fulfill his wish and asked all the companions to donate

[4:24]and give all these boxes of dates amongst the poor people of

[4:28]madina once all the boxes had been donated the companions came out

[4:34]and told rasulullah that we have done every box of dates has

[4:39]been donated rasool allah then walked into the warehouse and on the

[4:45]floor he had found one rotten date he picked that rotten date

[4:48]and told the companions that this one rotten date if that man

[4:53]had given during his lifetime would have been worth more than the

[4:58]entire warehouse in the eyes of allah and this is why today

[5:05]i'm asking you brothers and sisters i'm asking you today to give

[5:11]your date your one date that could help this community this community

[5:15]center that we're working towards that has touched the lives of people

[5:21]like myself like you and many other people that it's continuing to

[5:25]touch and i would like all of us together for the last

[5:28]few nights we have seen two to three thousand viewers regularly i'm

[5:33]asking 1 000 viewers today to give that one date of 10

[5:39]pound each and we can do it all together you can see

[5:41]that number on your screen if you're in the uk please text

[5:47]aq2020 to 70191 and if you're not in the uk then please

[5:52]follow the link on paypal but today make a difference by giving

[5:55]your one date and and make a difference to this community thank

[6:02]you very much wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh [Music] [Music] foreign the discussion concerning

[8:29]mental health no doubt is a discussion that can be approached from

[8:33]an islamic perspective but also a discussion that affects the lives of

[8:38]millions in the world today in the uk alone statistics show us

[8:42]that one in four adults suffers from a mental illness and one

[8:48]in ten children and therefore you find muslim and non-muslims an almighty

[8:54]task to overcome the mental health issues that they face at the

[8:58]moment within the society within which we live unfortunately there is still

[9:05]a stigma talking about one's mental health if now i had an

[9:10]issue with my physical health i'll talk to all my friends about

[9:14]it publicly as if now for example i had an ankle injury

[9:17]or i had a hamstring injury or i even had a broken

[9:22]hand i might whatsapp everybody and be open and talking about it

[9:25]might even joke about it with a few friends even if i

[9:28]had for example cancer i'd probably be open to discussing it with

[9:33]friends and family if i had for example other viruses or other

[9:40]diseases i may still be open physically to talk about them with

[9:44]those amongst my family and my friends this is somewhat different when

[9:49]it comes to mental illnesses when it comes to mental health you

[9:53]find that there's still a stigma that many of us don't open

[9:58]up to each other about some of the tests we face mentally

[10:00]we may open up physically but mentally hardly ever will any of

[10:05]us open up for example about loneliness how many of us sometimes

[10:11]feel that everybody may have a friend circle in our community but

[10:14]no one seems to invite us to any gatherings for example or

[10:19]that you may feel that loneliness for example with your parents not

[10:23]being around you or you may feel that loneliness for example in

[10:28]a country where you've gone abroad to study and now it's taken

[10:32]its toll on you that loneliness is not something that you express

[10:36]to anyone you try to make sure that you give an image

[10:40]or a front that you are not facing any difficulties with that

[10:45]loneliness sometimes there are those who you see publicly who seem very

[10:51]confident but privately are depressed individuals they won't reveal their depression why

[10:54]because either the community will make fun of them if they say

[11:00]that i'm depressed or that no one really has time to talk

[11:03]to them because you find that rarely do we want to talk

[11:08]about each other's thoughts or behaviors or emotions these three are intertwined

[11:13]in the life of every human being either our thoughts or emotions

[11:18]and behaviors can make us become higher than angels or they can

[11:21]make us or lead us to being lower than animals but you

[11:25]find therefore that when we want to discuss something like depression who

[11:28]do you open up to in reality because we live in a

[11:33]society where there's two key areas number one fake it until you

[11:36]make it you don't want to give an impression that you have

[11:41]a mental issue or that you have a mental illness or you

[11:43]have a problem with your mental health you want to give the

[11:48]impression are in line with the rest of the community whether it

[11:51]brings me happiness or not the main thing is that the community

[11:55]thinks i'm happy if i drive the cars that the community has

[12:00]or i live where the community lives then therefore if i take

[12:05]my children to the schools where the community go at least i

[12:09]can show publicly that i'm someone who's keeping up with everybody else

[12:12]privately i may be someone who's facing turmoil in my life i

[12:18]don't know how to open up to people for example about a

[12:21]brother of mine who may have been disloyal to me about a

[12:26]prison sentence that destroyed me about for example a relationship that was

[12:32]broken how many are there in our community a divorce shattered their

[12:37]lives how many of them can open up to people about what

[12:40]it feels like to be a single parent for example or to

[12:43]be somebody who's a divorcee how do you even get back into

[12:49]the community and get that confidence again there are some who are

[12:52]still traumatized for example not just by divorces some who've lost babies

[12:56]and they don't know how to recover either they miscarried at a

[13:00]certain point or there are others who cannot have children who do

[13:04]they open up to many of these their thoughts can sometimes spiral

[13:09]out of control because what we have is two ends of a

[13:12]spectrum mental toughness versus thoughts spiraling out of control these have also

[13:19]a base in islamic psychology the one extreme which is the mental

[13:24]toughness and the other extreme which is thought spiraling out of control

[13:29]have their wording in the quran the problem is when you study

[13:34]psychology today today's psychology is about abnormalities and you go to university

[13:40]and study psychology freud amongst others are the kings whereas when you

[13:45]come to islamic psychology the perspective is one which allows you to

[13:51]understand your human identity allows you to understand why you face such

[13:56]tests what's the meaning of tests what's the meaning of trials because

[14:00]i'm sure there are some who watch this and ask themselves that

[14:04]why is it that i'm always tested i've been tested from a

[14:09]young age i may financially be tested tested with my family members

[14:13]tested for example with my health with my wealth with my education

[14:20]there are many in the world today for example who have lost

[14:22]family members in war as in you see so many from iraq

[14:26]from syria from yemen from afghanistan many in africa many for example

[14:33]in other parts of the world who face post-traumatic stress disorder who

[14:38]in the community do you go to to talk about post-traumatic stress

[14:42]if i saw nuclear weapons or i saw chemical weapons or if

[14:49]i saw torture i saw execution who do i talk to about

[14:52]these things i've got recurring nightmares where i wake up in the

[14:56]middle of the night and remember killing fields remember execution and torture

[15:01]chambers but you find when you want to talk about it our

[15:04]community stigmatize that why are you talking about such things you must

[15:07]be crazy what's wrong with you and so people end up going

[15:11]into a very black area meaning a dark area a dark area

[15:16]where they don't know who to open up to and remember this

[15:19]world the reality of it is where we are is quite arbitrary

[15:25]i'm lucky for example that i grew up in london i could

[15:28]have easily grown up in rwanda i could have easily grown up

[15:32]in a place for example like kabul i could have easily grown

[15:36]up in areas where war has taken place i grew up in

[15:41]london and didn't see what others saw and therefore i am lucky

[15:45]in a way that i did not grow up in an area

[15:47]where i saw war all around me but then how would i

[15:53]recover had i seen these things therefore this discussion of mental health

[15:56]is a discussion fundamental within the religion of islam because there are

[16:00]people whose faith is shaken today either because the community is so

[16:05]judgmental of people with these issues that if you say i'm lonely

[16:10]or i'm anxious or i'm depressed or i feel like i have

[16:14]these issues you want to go to a psychiatrist psychotherapist psychologist a

[16:17]counselor our parents generation in many cases will tell you what are

[16:21]you talking about get on with life stand up whereas a person

[16:26]may not reveal everything they've gone through if i've been sexually abused

[16:31]as a child or i've been molested as a child every time

[16:34]i may come near someone of the opposite gender or i go

[16:39]to people at the workplace these thoughts come back to me that

[16:42]every single time i want to get stronger a lot of these

[16:47]thoughts come back to me so from the one hand you have

[16:49]a group of people in our communities who hate the judgmentalism that

[16:52]when you see me for example not looking as religious as you

[16:56]don't judge me you don't know what i've been through and on

[17:00]the other hand what do you have on the other hand you

[17:04]have that people don't openly talk about this issue and they don't

[17:07]realize that islam as a religion has a wonderful perspective and psychology

[17:14]on mental health and mental illness let us tonight examine the islamic

[17:19]perspective on mental health and i'd like to do this in the

[17:24]following stages number one which story in the holy quran has the

[17:28]most discussion of mental toughness mental anguish as well as difficulties with

[17:36]one's psychological state which has so many lessons for us to learn

[17:41]from number two how did the lady and the story highlight to

[17:45]us that the moment you realize the psyche or the super ego

[17:49]or the self or whatever you want to call it that's when

[17:53]you can begin to progress in fighting many of these illnesses number

[17:59]three why does god test us and what benefits are there in

[18:04]the tests that we face and how did imam allah highlight don't

[18:07]worry the whole cure is within you if only you just realized

[18:11]number four and of that most importance which personalities in the quran

[18:16]opened up to allah about their mental health and wanted their lord

[18:23]to reply back to them for they knew when you are in

[18:28]the darkest places if the whole of humanity leaves you there's a

[18:30]lord who'll never leave you number five and vital to our discussion

[18:36]how can our communities change their perception of mental health number six

[18:41]how can we individually change our perception if we're affected by mental

[18:45]health number seven how can our mosques develop into helping people with

[18:50]issues of mental health number eight how did the rabbab and zainab

[18:55]and the rest of all muhammad recover from the trauma of karbala

[19:00]is it just about listening to a narrative or is it about

[19:06]taking lessons from how to recover from seeing trauma like the trauma

[19:12]of karabakh and finally how the imam says to us that one

[19:18]man in particular showed us that if your self is trying to

[19:20]destroy you you can overcome it even when you're thirsty and cold

[19:26]waters in front of you let's examine this and dissect the topic

[19:29]in complete depth the story in the quran with the most emotion

[19:34]one may argue in terms of mental health anguish and toughness is

[19:40]the story of prophet yusuf alayhi salaam a phenomenal story because we

[19:46]know that that story can easily be made into a film it's

[19:49]no coincidence that the story of nebusha was made into a film

[19:53]because there isn't a human on this earth who cannot relate to

[19:56]joseph's story as in each and every one of us at one

[19:59]stage or another can relate to his story but there are four

[20:04]main protagonists in this story the first point to realize from this

[20:15]story is our prophets and our imams are not robots walking on

[20:20]this earth when we were growing up half the time you always

[20:25]imagined that the prophets and the imams don't have the same tests

[20:29]that we have don't have the same emotional anguish and difficulties don't

[20:33]shed tears or have the grief that we go through and that's

[20:37]why whenever someone told you why don't you be like the imam

[20:39]the response was always but i'm not masoon how many times would

[20:45]you always say that i'm not if you yourself face anguish in

[21:03]your life they face anguish there are unbelievable words of expression of

[21:08]emotion in the story of yousef that each and every one of

[21:13]us has been through what do i mean you have for example

[21:16]in the story of nebu salaam the word sabor how many times

[21:19]does yakub talk of sabron jameel a beautiful patience have you ever

[21:25]said sabron jameel hardly ever does anyone say sabron jameel you normally

[21:30]say listen brother i have sabor have you ever said anyone have

[21:33]a beautiful sabor you have sabron jameel you have that beauty of

[21:39]patience you have grief there's no harm being in a state of

[21:45]grief have patience grief there's what bethy anguish he was in a

[21:50]state of anguish at a certain point what else is there yes

[21:56]despair how many sometimes go through moments of despair because they've been

[22:00]through a traumatic event what else is there karim restraining your anger

[22:04]while you're in a state of grief how many times you want

[22:09]to get angry because of something that's been wronged or you've been

[22:12]wronged in a certain way but you restrain it kareem like imam

[22:16]al-qardam's title the one who restrains his anger while in a state

[22:20]of grief that surah of the quran wanted to highlight something to

[22:25]us that prophets are not just all about the intellect and the

[22:28]thoughts that they have there are emotions in these prophets who came

[22:32]to you as role models because look at what yusuf has to

[22:37]go through in a roller coaster ride of mental health anguish and

[22:41]toughness from the beginning in life who is it that you want

[22:44]to be the most loyal to you your own blood brother isn't

[22:47]that true what hurts you the most in life if your brother

[22:50]lets you down or if your brother is disloyal to you or

[22:54]if your brother skanks you or if your brother stabs you in

[22:59]the back the biggest difficulty right from the beginning of the story

[23:04]of yosef where it's highlighted how his mental health was being tested

[23:08]was when your own brothers don't just want to bully you don't

[23:12]just let you down but they're ready to kill you as well

[23:16]my brother is someone who i look for loyalty in him literally

[23:21]my brother is my backbone my brother if he falls i fall

[23:27]my brother is someone who i always look towards that he'll always

[23:31]be at the front of me the worst feeling mentally for a

[23:36]human is when their own blood brother skanks them isn't that true

[23:38]as in how many times you hear a story in our communities

[23:41]where someone's own brother stole money from them his own brother his

[23:46]own flesh and blood nebuchadnezz first test of mental health and anguish

[23:51]and toughness was what how will you recover if your own brother

[23:53]stabs you in the back will there be a moment where you're

[23:56]ready for example to re for forgiveness for your brother help your

[24:02]brother repent and not just one brother one brother skanking you is

[24:06]one thing when you've got about nine of them skank you there's

[24:09]big trouble because when all of your brothers turn on your back

[24:13]in life all of us what do we look for we look

[24:15]for one brother who's gonna be our everything isn't that true one

[24:19]brother who lay his life down for each and every one of

[24:23]us one brother who'll say that you know what i want to

[24:25]feel what you feel i empathize what you empathize nebusha found so

[24:29]many brothers but he couldn't find one who was loyal to him

[24:35]except binyamin the rest of them you found the rest of them

[24:38]were ready to kill him did this affect his religiosity as in

[24:43]community of turnaround say why me i'm a prophet of god i'm

[24:48]religious because there are many at that moment who will give up

[24:50]there are many who'll say why am i the one getting tested

[24:53]for what reason what have i done wrong i ask you allah

[24:56]why is he getting tested in this way secondly the mental anguish

[25:01]where you are accused of a crime you did not commit how

[25:04]difficult is that he is accused of running after soleika when zolaika

[25:09]blatantly was the one who was running after him at that moment

[25:13]you would give up on the world firstly my own family has

[25:17]let me down they've stabbed me in the back now i'm in

[25:20]a situation where i've got this lady has been running after me

[25:25]her husband walks in all of a sudden i'm the one who's

[25:28]accused on top of that where is a place where most people

[25:34]lose it mentally in prison ask anyone who's been in prison there

[25:36]are some who mentally get destroyed in prison there are many who

[25:41]mentally are strong in prison or who become stronger as the years

[25:46]go on but there are many who prison destroys them listen how

[25:49]many of you have heard of social confinement if you want to

[25:53]kill someone mentally you can keep them there physically but you want

[25:55]to kill them mentally what you do socially confine them why because

[26:01]the human being's mental health improves when they're able to talk with

[26:04]others when they're able to interact with others why do you think

[26:08]human rights campaigns have come forward and said that if someone is

[26:11]in prison you should give them some time to breathe let them

[26:13]have some half an hour one hour even if they're the worst

[26:18]criminal in the world minimum how much half an hour 15 minutes

[26:22]one hour you have to let that human have something nabi yusuf

[26:26]alaihissalam is a prophet of allah subhana wa he is in prison

[26:31]prison normally breaks you he finds that no mentally i'll remain strong

[26:36]not only will i open up to my lord in prison but

[26:40]at the same time i'll help guide others in prison now you're

[26:43]in prison for how long two weeks three weeks four weeks look

[26:48]at the role model when it comes to mental strength because it's

[26:51]not everybody who can have that particular future and our prophets are

[26:55]either role models or they're mythical stories do you agree when i

[26:59]look in the quran either the quran is a book that relates

[27:03]to my life or it just becomes a historical narrative the reason

[27:06]i look at the story and the only story in the quran

[27:12]where the whole story is in one chapter you know many other

[27:14]stories in the quran jump from chapter to chapter this one no

[27:17]one whole chapter why was it one whole chapter i'll come to

[27:22]that shortly you found therefore that when he was in prison it's

[27:25]mentally tough remaining in prison especially when you know you haven't done

[27:28]what you've done if someone has committed a crime and they're in

[27:33]prison then i that person could say listen hands up i stole

[27:37]that thing hands up i killed that person hands up i did

[27:39]this i did that but when you know you've done nothing wrong

[27:43]mentally what goes through your head because surely at that moment you

[27:48]think like mandela thought for so long that i have not done

[27:51]anything wrong they put me years in this prison but where does

[27:53]mandela and others learn from they learn from the stories of those

[27:56]who were imprisoned but to remain strong therefore after coming out of

[28:02]prison another area of mental health is when he meets his brothers

[28:07]years after they stabbed him in the back and were disloyal to

[28:10]him and when they find out that something has been stolen they're

[28:13]like if he steals our younger brother binyamin it's like a brother

[28:17]who was there before him imagine how much pain that is mentally

[28:20]for you when your own flesh and blood in front of you

[28:24]they've not recognized him of course another piece of mental anguish wannabe

[28:27]use of what is it knowing your dad's alive and that you

[28:32]can't see him and that your dad has now become blind how

[28:34]difficult is that for you no prophet one may argue in the

[28:42]quran there is an elaboration of his mental health toughness like nabi

[28:46]yusuf salaam within there likewise his father nabi yakub for any father

[28:52]your mental health is tested if your son dies imagine your son's

[28:56]alive but you can't see him they told their father that our

[29:01]son our brother has died yakub would open up to allah he'd

[29:06]keep talking to the lord he'd keep opening up his grief why

[29:09]having an issue with your mental health doesn't mean you can't cry

[29:13]doesn't mean you can't open up it's not haram for you to

[29:18]open up about your grief and he'd make it clear that i

[29:22]only complain of my anguish and my distress to my lord i'll

[29:27]have sabor look at the key components of this prophet's mental health

[29:32]that's in the wake of everything where he knows his son who's

[29:35]a prophet of allah but he knows that his son has been

[29:40]through so much but he maintains that the only way i can

[29:43]get through this is by trusting my lord that's the only way

[29:47]therefore you have yakub complaining no opening up to allah there's a

[29:53]difference between someone who despairs of god's mercy and someone who knows

[29:59]that their lord is always within distance yakub when he'd open up

[30:04]to allah subhana wa and he says the famous lines when the

[30:07]quran says what is it when the quran says and then when

[30:15]he begins to talk about his anguish to joseph jibril comes to

[30:19]him he says your lord says that even if yusuf and biniyamin

[30:25]are dead don't worry i'll raise them alive go out now and

[30:28]feed the poor at that moment yakub realized that his dad was

[30:31]telling his lord was telling him that do not worry you can

[30:34]open up to me but there are other things that should take

[30:37]your time as well go out serve the poor help the poor

[30:42]this will help build you build your growth understand that there are

[30:46]others who are facing worse than you because one of the key

[30:50]criterias in mental health is when you realize that there are others

[30:54]sometimes in worse situations than you are because sometimes what what can

[31:00]happen to you with wise shaytan can easily tell you you're going

[31:04]through the worst thing ever nobody is going through what you're going

[31:08]through four bedroom semi worth a few hundred thousand pounds with a

[31:11]couple of cars it's not too bad because sometimes when you ask

[31:16]people what are you going through is that bro you know what

[31:18]it's been such a tough year i'm like feeling so depressed depressed

[31:21]about what depressed that you know i just can't get promoted to

[31:25]be vp of this bank that's depression vp of this bank that

[31:28]that's your all there are certain children in the world have to

[31:32]walk three miles to get clean water three miles there are people

[31:37]who have to walk three miles to get clean water your depression

[31:41]is about what you can't be vp of a bank there are

[31:44]others will surround you and say i'm going through such a hard

[31:48]time allah told nabiya let me tell you something if yusuf and

[31:50]binyamin die i'll raise them alive don't worry about that section you

[31:57]go out and feed the poor in your community because when there

[31:59]are people homeless in the street there are people who are poor

[32:05]don't start complaining about your life being difficult when there are children

[32:09]in india begging from the age of three with no hands in

[32:11]the street a person's perspective sometimes is given to us by allah

[32:20]to yahoo that jacob cry to me but go out and look

[32:21]for others and then you'll realize that there are others who face

[32:26]a lot more difficulties than you do so therefore on the one

[32:29]hand never use of allah how many different tests of his mental

[32:32]toughness not physical i guarantee you one-on-one in a punch-up and a

[32:37]fight no one can mess with you but you can have all

[32:41]the biceps in the world it takes moments when you're in prison

[32:43]when you're deep down when you're accused when you're judged that's the

[32:47]test of your mental toughness yusuf one hand yakub the other but

[32:54]who was the main one who opened up for us a world

[32:57]of islamic psychology someone will say wait you've got two prophets of

[33:01]god and you've chosen the lady who was seeking zinna i reply

[33:05]but that lady highlighted something she highlighted the very fact that within

[33:11]you as a human being your major jihad is not the battlefield

[33:15]it's the nephs those lines in saurath yusuf surah 12 53 are

[33:20]the biggest lines and the most important when it comes to understanding

[33:27]our mental thoughts emotions and behaviors why because yeah after he had

[33:33]been put in prison when he got offered the job of being

[33:37]the treasurer of egypt he's like first you go and ask her

[33:39]was it to me who ran after her or was it she

[33:42]who ran after me they said to him we're giving you the

[33:45]best job in egypt he goes no no if i want to

[33:48]take a job in politics i need a track record where there's

[33:52]no black dots on my cv if i enter politics and it

[33:55]turns out that i was that type of person you can always

[33:58]bring it up so first go and find out from her was

[34:04]she the one who was in a psychological state where sensuality was

[34:11]the most important of her concerns in her behavior or was i

[34:15]the one in that state because there's a difference between the one

[34:18]whose psyche or whose id or whose ego or super ego is

[34:24]a servant of their sensuality and materialism and the one whose ego

[34:32]or psyche or soul is a content soul with no immoral desires

[34:35]because one is known as the other is known as nafsel because

[34:44]when you come to study islamic psychology opened it for us what

[34:47]did you say when they said who was it you are yousef

[34:50]she said let me make it clear i'm not going to make

[34:56]excuses for this nafs of mine the whole meaning of islamic psychology

[35:00]is in the concept of the nephs the problem we face in

[35:06]the 21st century is that the soul is now longer part of

[35:08]the human being because the human identity of the of islam is

[35:15]what is that we are made up of intellect and emotion god

[35:17]breathes his spirit into us we have a self that can either

[35:25]be commanding accusatory or in peace those three are the definition of

[35:39]mental health and psychology in islam what do i mean she said

[35:45]um i'm not going to make excuses for myself for my behavior

[35:51]this snaps that i have this psyche it's yearning to do what

[35:56]it wants to go and be servant to its animalistic desires me

[36:01]and an animal what's the difference between us what's the difference in

[36:05]reality an animal eats i eat an animal sleeps i sleep an

[36:12]animal has physical relations i have physical what's the difference between me

[36:16]and an animal if we both eat and we both sleep and

[36:20]we both have physical relations what's the difference i have the intellect

[36:25]i have that ability to reach the highest levels where i'm able

[36:30]to discipline myself i can have willpower that that animal cannot have

[36:34]i can reach the highest level what's islamic psychology islamic psychology is

[36:39]when you develop taqwa god consciousness when you develop a class sincerity

[36:45]when you develop ethical virtues non-islamic psychology is what there are abnormalities

[36:52]in the human being this guy fancies his mother and this one

[36:57]for example loves this and this one is a slave to his

[37:00]sexual desires whereas for us in islam it's not abnormalities it's that

[37:05]you can make the human divine you can make the human reach

[37:09]the highest level zolaika turned around and she said i'm not going

[37:13]to make excuses for myself i recognize that i mentally can be

[37:20]a slave to my sensual desires to my material needs or i

[37:25]can be in the middle stage where i recognize that i do

[37:30]have certain faults but i'll work on them i'll be resilient i'll

[37:34]be forbearance or i can be at the highest stage where i

[37:39]reach a stage where none of the immoral desires will affect me

[37:44]and i'm able to reach a level of control when suleika said

[37:49]this what was doing she was highlighting to us to as muslims

[37:52]that understanding your nephs is vital to your mental health don't we

[37:57]have a statement attributed to the prophet whoever understands the nf's understands

[38:05]their lord because if i understand the snaps of mine i understand

[38:10]that my nephs i'm not just the physical animal walking on the

[38:15]earth i'm someone who has the power of intellect i have the

[38:19]power of desire the power of imagination and the power of anger

[38:22]either my anger or my imagination or my desire destroys me or

[38:29]i allow my intellect to be the captain of the ship of

[38:35]the other three because you know anger imagination destroyer can destroy you

[38:39]mentally your imagination can take you to crazy places mentally i don't

[38:43]care how healthy you look publicly how many of us have had

[38:47]days where we're baffled with our thoughts where you're just like i

[38:50]just don't feel right my head is spinning i'm thinking craziness likewise

[38:55]how many of us have had the desires to do the most

[38:59]immoral things how many of us have had moments of anger where

[39:02]you'd think that that's an animal that's not a human walking when

[39:05]they talk of road rage for example that's not a human anymore

[39:08]road rage is not a human road rage is an animal driving

[39:13]a car because that person is a naps which is yearning to

[39:18]just be a slave of its material or its sensual desires zolaika

[39:24]therefore highlighted for us that in islamic psychology the nephs was vital

[39:29]problem is the 21st century where we live as a society don't

[39:34]talk about immaterial it's all material we are all material whatever the

[39:39]senses can perceive exists something that the senses cannot perceive doesn't exist

[39:43]explain to me something when i have a disease like self-conceit or

[39:48]arrogance boots pharmacy sells pills for that or no i ask you

[39:53]i'm just a human i'm a human who's just physical i have

[39:57]for example the disease of arrogance if i walk into boots tomorrow

[40:00]and i say to them excuse me just uh 10 pills for

[40:03]arrogance if you don't mind the guy will look at me and

[40:06]say listen i know coverts affected many but are you okay i'm

[40:09]like yeah i'm okay because you know i'm i'm an animal and

[40:12]i'm just physical so i have a problem it's called uh takabur

[40:17]and this problem of mine it's a cupboard i need 10 tablets

[40:23]for it'll be like bro we don't give tablets for arrogance okay

[40:25]okay no problem uh i have a problem called ostentatiousness um i'm

[40:29]just a physical animal but there's something called ostentatiousness um can you

[40:34]give me 20 paracetamol for ostentatiousness is that a paracetamol is this

[40:37]doesn't help your ostentatious and what do you mean yeah i'm ostentatious

[40:41]got love for myself i am superior to others i have a

[40:46]problem with rhea islam said there are certain illnesses physical remedies cannot

[40:53]always do the trick i'm not denying let me make something very

[40:56]clear here i'm not someone in the world of psychiatry or psychotherapy

[41:00]and nor am i an expert on the medical side because i

[41:04]believe the medical side has a major role to play in this

[41:05]discussion by the way but if i was to say that islamically

[41:09]speaking we believe that the human can have physical diseases but the

[41:14]human could also have spiritual diseases wonderful work the 40 hadith try

[41:21]and read it look at all the spiritual diseases that you could

[41:25]face those diseases that's what you want to try and cure and

[41:28]he provides you a cure for each therefore when we come to

[41:32]this what do we find we find clearly that islam had a

[41:35]psychological paradigm it wanted us to understand the soul and the development

[41:40]of the soul someone asked the question but say no why test

[41:44]us why does allah test us in this way that i've got

[41:47]to see for example my own brother died in front of me

[41:50]in a car crash that broke me seeing my brother die in

[41:53]front of me in a car crash it broke me allah why

[41:58]test me with that ya allah why test me that i saw

[42:01]my cousin miscarry her child ya allah why on the first level

[42:08]we find that nobody reached the highest levels in any field were

[42:12]they not tested with something one way or the other there are

[42:16]no football players you'll ever see who achieved what they achieved unless

[42:20]they had a major test in their life yes you may look

[42:25]at for example messi ronaldo all of these players you look in

[42:28]their lives there are moments where they're tested but it gave them

[42:32]mental toughness to recover you look as a captain of a ship

[42:35]he'll tell you never would i be such such a good captain

[42:38]unless i went through a major storm you look at someone who's

[42:41]the top of a hedge fund he'll tell you about a few

[42:45]recessions which he was bottom at as well when the quran therefore

[42:49]tests us or islam tests us or the meaning of life is

[42:53]test it's not that i want to test you so you fall

[42:55]to see who's the best in the deeds what are the best

[42:58]deeds that you could come up with because that is building resilience

[43:02]in us those tests are building resilience how many majorities i've given

[43:06]about patience i tell you until i was tested with a moment

[43:11]of patience that word patience had no effect but when i tasted

[43:15]sabor then i could talk about sabbah in a different way how

[43:20]many times you tell someone when you have to go through a

[43:22]moment of sabor and rock bottom you can tell them that listen

[43:26]i've been there it builds a resilience that's in some cases is

[43:30]lacking in humanity today that's on the one hand on the other

[43:34]hand what do you find you find likewise that in the quran

[43:38]and within the traditions that these tests allow us to grow they

[43:43]allow us to develop the quran says each of you will be

[43:46]tested in different areas we're going to test you with moments of

[43:59]fear and with ward moments of hunger don't say it's just me

[44:04]all of us have been through these moments and what loss of

[44:10]wealth loss of lives but god always puts a disclaimer in give

[44:15]glad tidings to those who have sabor my dear brothers and sisters

[44:20]who have mental health issues they may be lonely they may be

[44:24]depressed god in the quran doesn't tell you that you know what

[44:26]give up he says give them glad tidings when they're tested with

[44:29]these things imam used to say that when you're at the point

[44:32]where you think it's not going to work for you that's the

[44:36]point where allah is just about to help you you know when

[44:39]you are your lowest ebb then no allah is just about to

[44:43]help you at that moment is there a better master than a

[44:51]better helper than allah give glad tidings to those who are through

[45:06]those who are patient why when a massa eb why don't we

[45:09]recite massage at the end of majlis when they go through massa

[45:17]ib they go through difficulties and trials they always say that we

[45:27]i want we belong to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and to him

[45:32]we return as my friend says to me i came to this

[45:33]world naked and i leave with one shirt that's the reality of

[45:38]this world those who face further than that the mean one of

[45:46]his signs is that he's tested isn't that true sometimes the sign

[45:51]is there that if you are truly a min you're tested further

[45:54]than that imam allah makes it clear you don't realize that the

[45:59]cure is within you as well you can have many who you

[46:02]talk to but the cure is within you there's these poems which

[46:07]are attributed to him where he says the cure is within you

[46:13]o human but you don't see the disease is within you as

[46:19]well but you don't sense you are the open book who with

[46:24]your letters the unseen can be seen you think that you're just

[46:35]a small microcosm when the whole universe exists within you oh human

[46:40]being imam makes it clear to all of us you're going through

[46:44]these difficulties the cure is within you there is no one else

[46:47]out there who can finish it off unless you have that will

[46:51]and that determination to get through what you're going through firstly that

[46:57]faith and trust in allah i feel sorry yeah and in this

[47:01]21st century how many of these kids are brought up that it's

[47:03]not cool to believe in god it's not cool to have faith

[47:08]no one die here suicides here depression here mental health here issues

[47:14]here nothing is a gift like faith in allah subhanahu wa believe

[47:17]me i always say this my dear brothers and sisters thank allah

[47:25]for the blessing of islam and iman because honestly if it wasn't

[47:33]for us knowing the stories of the likes of yusuf someone says

[47:37]who else apart from yusuf in the quran look how many prophets

[47:40]and non-prophets their mental health their mental toughness is tested you have

[47:46]ladies in the quran who go through difficult moments their health is

[47:50]tested moses is mom you think it's easy to put your baby

[47:52]after you've just given birth to him to in a cradle to

[47:55]go down the river i asked all of you if you told

[47:59]your missus that listen by the way you know our newborn if

[48:01]we could just put him in that lake outside the house um

[48:03]and god will look after him that might turn around to you

[48:08]and mrs what's up what do you want and what you're talking

[48:12]about and she is so emotional she has to hang in allah

[48:15]doesn't like to show us these role models as robots he wants

[48:19]them to show you that it's okay you can grieve you can

[48:23]open up you can talk about your issue don't let the community

[48:29]say to you that this is a stigma talk openly these two

[48:48]these two i don't think we realize how important this line is

[48:52]and discussions of mental health and spiritual psychology don't fear don't grieve

[49:01]a allah when she knows that her son or her sons or

[49:06]her children are going away from her it breaks her heart oh

[49:12]mother of moses now i ask you a question when it says

[49:16]we reveal to the mother of moses an angel came to her

[49:22]or is it that sometimes god tells you don't worry you'll hear

[49:25]my voice sometimes when you're alone she's not a prophet for the

[49:30]angel to necessarily come to although jabra is came to maryam but

[49:35]the quran says don't fear don't grieve how did she know not

[49:40]to fear not to grieve how did you know sometimes god will

[49:43]speak to us we don't realize the voice is the lord's voice

[49:47]if you have that trust that in your most difficult moments you

[49:50]don't despair of god's mercy you'll hear the voice of the lord

[49:56]and the lord will talk to you there's no way allah subhanahu

[49:58]ta'ala would create us and leave us in difficulties without opening up

[50:02]to us and you know who used to face the most mental

[50:05]anguish at times the holy prophet muhammad i know it's hard for

[50:10]people to believe because people see rasulallah as someone who can never

[50:15]be affected sorry i seen my favorite ayah and sorry what is

[50:19]it my favorite ayah and the whole of surat yahseen and i

[50:24]don't know if many people even bother to read the translation sometimes

[50:27]people just read it like a parrot the surah and it's the

[50:31]heart of the quran the heartbeat which ayah do i love don't

[50:40]let their words grieve you it's such a beautiful liar because this

[50:47]man no prophet was hurt like he was imagine you walk in

[50:53]the street people throw feces on your head people pelt you with

[50:59]stones people attack your family people attack your companions people call you

[51:03]a sorcerer they call you a magician they call you a madman

[51:06]you want to learn the meaning of strength in the face of

[51:11]adversity and difficulty believe me that's the man you go to but

[51:14]even he had moments where he felt lonely and allah spoke to

[51:23]him and said don't let their words grieve you my prophet hang

[51:30]in there i'm with you i know it's not easy because how

[51:35]many out there i feel sorry for them allah the community judges

[51:39]them the community slanders them people backbite them people suspect them people

[51:46]ridicule them why do you think allah said i don't forgive backbiting

[51:51]and submission and what and suspicion only the person you've backbit can

[51:56]forgive you why because my lord knew nothing hurts more than when

[52:03]your own flesh and blood are the ones who attack you the

[52:07]holy prophet saw the meccans attack him and attack do you think

[52:11]it was easy for him what do you think rasulallah as a

[52:14]robot just walks around yeah i'm the prophet of god nothing affects

[52:19]me he used to cry alone and allah would talk to him

[52:23]and say fellaini don't worry don't let their words grieve you i

[52:27]love you and i love your family and you will be looked

[52:30]after by me don't ever let their words grieve you someone else

[52:35]say edna what can we do to change the issue in our

[52:39]communities when people have mental health on the first level we as

[52:43]a community have to stop being judgmental if i see now in

[52:47]my community a girl who used to wear hijab she's taken the

[52:49]hijab off i see this straight away what do people want to

[52:54]do oh did you hear did you hear she did this did

[52:59]you i don't know what's the background of our story and nor

[53:02]am i maliki omideen it doesn't make any difference one way or

[53:05]the other if i knew why or i don't know why i

[53:08]know that my religion says make 70 excuses for someone do you

[53:15]agree i see a girl to go back here and the community

[53:17]is like shooting i don't know i don't know what trauma she's

[53:20]been through i don't know what difficulties it may be a moment

[53:24]of weakness all i know is i can say that if you

[53:27]need any support we are here because the only way we're going

[53:30]to tackle mental health is when we're able to talk about it

[53:32]and we're able to be there for each other standing for each

[53:36]other that's for those from the community side someone says okay in

[53:41]terms of those who are going through it what should happen with

[53:45]them firstly when you're going through this mental health issues if i'm

[53:48]only looking at from a religious lens medical lens you have to

[53:52]go to the experts and you should go to the experts but

[53:54]from a religious lens what do we see firstly there is within

[54:00]religious thought discussions about lifestyle changes i know people don't talk about

[54:05]this on mumbai unfortunately lifestyle changes are viton what are you eating

[54:09]how does it affect your psyche what are you drinking how does

[54:14]that you think when our parents brought us up on halal and

[54:17]you think these things don't make a difference when your mother insists

[54:22]that make sure where you eat not is make sure what you

[54:26]eat does not have things which are not good for you these

[54:28]don't just affect the physical they affect your spirituality as well because

[54:33]when the quran for example says let man look as to that

[54:38]which they eat look at that what you're eating look at that

[54:40]which you're giving your children believe you me there's some madness and

[54:42]food at the moment there's many times i've had a donor come

[54:46]up i tell you and i don't know if that's a donor

[54:48]of a lamb or that's a dawn of like some dead squirrel

[54:51]in the street or something honestly now that might be something destructive

[54:56]but these things some of the things we're putting in our bodies

[55:02]can affect us can make us also in a situation where we

[55:04]feel down there are certain foods that actually make you happy i

[55:08]know you guys might think that this is not true and i'm

[55:11]not referring you to munchies or something i'm saying there are certain

[55:15]foods that maybe you can have the quran or the hadith talking

[55:18]about pomegranates grapes believe you me these things which have spoken about

[55:22]they have an effect on us our friends circle lifestyle wise are

[55:28]we with friends who are positive or negative because you've got two

[55:32]types of friends you've got the ones nag knack knack knack complain

[55:35]nag complain nag baba for the love of god chill yeah my

[55:38]bro you know what this is this bro relax honestly i've come

[55:43]across people in my life all they do is complain that's all

[55:50]they do just complain mosque is this timing is this mosque is

[55:55]that this was done wrong this was done wrong this was done

[56:01]wrong this was done wrong this was done wrong yeah i'm sorry

[56:03]this type of person i find it difficult to be around because

[56:05]my mental health i'm going to be destroyed i'm going to go

[56:10]crazy because all i ever hear whereas if i'm around those who

[56:13]are positive bro you know what one of the most spiritual things

[56:14]you could do to a fellow believer muslim or non-muslim and this

[56:19]is within our traditions pat them on the back and say well

[56:22]done i don't think people realize this look our muki here he

[56:26]has cancer how many people in peterborough know that the moki has

[56:30]cancer and i'm sorry that i'm i'm saying it from the pulpit

[56:33]how many how many have gone to sit with them and say

[56:37]mukhi sab you represent the community if you need anything you want

[56:40]us to sit down and so on he might turn around and

[56:45]say i don't want i don't care how tough people look in

[56:47]public sometimes people want someone to put their hand around them and

[56:49]say listen don't worry hang in there try and hang in there

[56:54]so therefore lifestyle-wise look at your friend's circle as well your eating

[56:58]habits further than that also look at even your sleep sometimes maybe

[57:02]sometimes your sleeping is or lack of sleeping can affect you i

[57:07]know there are some of us whose sleep is all over the

[57:10]place hours all over the place but then there are some try

[57:12]and get that sleep in that also affects you also gets into

[57:17]the gym believe you me the release from the gym can make

[57:21]you buzzing and there are some you tell him jim is a

[57:24]bro jim i'm not bothered and so on yeah and even people

[57:26]in my position sometimes people in my position you look at them

[57:29]you're like you're telling me to be healthy mawlana look at your

[57:33]face and so when you're looking at that you're seeing that there

[57:35]is a need also for change of lifestyle in terms of the

[57:38]mosques what could the mosques do the mosques definitely need to have

[57:43]an office for a counsellor for these issues we may be having

[57:50]an office for tariq but there needs to be someone who's a

[57:52]specialist in counseling on this area otherwise we're going to have suicides

[57:57]don't get me wrong we're going to have suicides if we haven't

[58:00]already had suicides we're going to have more cases of difficulties this

[58:05]world that we're living in is a dog eat dog world and

[58:08]in some cases there's no mercy and this mosques cannot just be

[58:12]places for prayers majalis go home they have to be places where

[58:17]you feel that your soul can find peace in an otherwise difficult

[58:22]world and that's why the question of all questions that i ask

[58:26]myself sometimes is that we could talk about one's mental toughness all

[58:32]day but how did they recover from kerbela how do you recover

[58:36]from ashura have you ever asked yourself that question how do you

[58:40]recover from that day because we've missed the point with karabella we

[58:44]narrate the story but there's a major question we need to ask

[58:48]what was it that made them continue to be strong in kufa

[58:54]and jam you're meant to buckle under pressure you're meant to be

[59:00]finished some of them they hung in but it got a lot

[59:02]and it got tough for them i don't doubt what rabbi did

[59:08]after karbala highlights to you as strong as she tried to be

[59:13]there's nothing wrong with admitting that you have certain difficulties six month

[59:17]six-month-old arrow in the neck and you know what she did she'd

[59:23]return back to kerbela you'd think she'd only think about her baby

[59:26]and the narration says that she said remove the roof of my

[59:32]house they said your wife the sun is going to burn you

[59:33]hot sun i said no no i got the faith in my

[59:42]lord i'm strong enough to continue vital that faith in getting us

[59:48]through trials huge trusting god but she said remove the roof from

[59:55]my house can you imagine living in medina with no roof on

[59:59]your house they said why she said how dare i have a

[60:01]roof on the top of my head protecting me from the sun

[60:08]and imam al-hussein had no protection from the sun at kerbela her

[60:11]method of mourning was what holding on to that love for imam

[60:17]allah saying because imam al-hussein is a hospital for our souls how

[60:21]does layla recover how did the ramallah recover how did zainab recover

[60:27]zainab is a mountain in one day you lose your own muhammad

[60:35]abbas hussain you lose all of them in front of you and

[60:36]you still say i thank allah look at that because the biggest

[60:42]and most important thing in helping us with our mental health you

[60:45]know what it is is realizing whatever we're going through it's nothing

[60:51]like caraballa kufancha put me through any trial it's nothing like kerbella

[60:57]will be nothing like kufa and cannot come near sham having stones

[61:02]pelted on your head having people mock you having people curse your

[61:06]father these broke the hearts and especially of all of them when

[61:12]you look at imam zainal abedin you wonder how strong did he

[61:18]remain how imam said and he famously says when they asked him

[61:22]you cry that much and he said about hamza yusuf yaakov cried

[61:28]for him even though yusuf was alive i saw 17 members of

[61:37]my family butchered in front of me at karabakh truly we grieve

[61:41]when we think of sarcasm but how did imam zain al-abdin survive

[61:45]the mental anguish and the grief look at asahi for such idea

[61:52]believe you me we have a gift at home open it it's

[61:57]a lesson of how the soul remains strong in the face of

[62:02]trial for when you're grieving dua when you're in difficulty do out

[62:05]when you're in hardship how many supplications but what have we done

[62:09]with sahih sajjadiya left it at home without opening it we have

[62:11]a treasure which is the selah of the min and the ahmood

[62:15]of the deen and the noor of the sama which is wrote

[62:23]supplications about how to remain strong when you feel lonely despair angry

[62:31]hardship grief that safer is vital to our mental happiness and psychology

[62:36]and even he says that if you want to know the purest

[62:41]soul on the tenth and you want to know the meaning of

[62:44]purity and the meaning of overcoming eagle and the meaning of altruism

[62:53]and the meaning of standing and giving away from yourself even if

[62:58]it gives you pain rahim allah has these lines which explain to

[63:15]you about if a belfast can be explained whatever i go through

[63:18]in life i tell you i'll never go through what hussain went

[63:20]through what abbas went through what akbar went through what zainab went

[63:25]through what kuluthum went through but hussain what did he see he

[63:30]saw the very meaning of backbone what else does everyone just look

[63:47]at me quickly before i enter abel says last lines before he

[63:53]died are all about his mental state his psychological state his spiritual

[64:01]state it's all about his nafs study abbas his final lines is

[64:07]a phd in psychology because imam zen himself says my uncle abbas

[64:14]allah has placed mercy on him for he altruistically gave his naps

[64:18]to his brother how many times abbas looked at the pain in

[64:27]front of him remain strong please my master hussain never says my

[64:31]brother hussain disrespect he felt he felt you can't call imam hussain

[64:38]he says has reached a high level what was the highest level

[64:48]because everyone says why did abbas not fight at kerbela he did

[64:53]but why did he go out one-on-one they say imam al-hussein wanted

[64:58]to highlight abbas you know your biggest enemy and the biggest enemy

[65:02]for anyone in life isn't your shimmers and sads it's if you

[65:06]can have cold water in your hand and not drink it because

[65:12]you're altruistically thinking of others i think abel fard when he got

[65:22]to the river having asked his brother so many times i think

[65:27]when he got to the river and when the water was in

[65:31]his hands i think it was at that moment that he realized

[65:33]now i know why he wouldn't let me go out because the

[65:38]biggest jihad is that of the mental health the mental state the

[65:42]nephs he comes to that water you've got to read the lines

[65:50]in arabic my dear brothers and sisters because in arabic all he

[65:56]does is you've got if you paused karabella you've got abbas and

[66:00]his mental state abbas and his naps me how dare i drink

[66:36]the syrup of cold water while my master drinks the syrup of

[66:40]death nephs you're trying to humiliate me after you there's no revival

[66:48]there's no way you're gonna affect me i'm gonna be stronger than

[66:54]my desire that's the meaning of mental health not letting you get

[66:57]affected he got that water he could hear the cries from the

[67:01]tents he knew sukena and others were waiting he knew zainab was

[67:09]thirsty he knew his imam was thirsty again when he came he

[67:13]made it clear in front of any everyone again he brings the

[67:17]word nephs because he could see these soldiers are gathering and i'll

[67:40]make sure that that reaches he got it now he's got the

[67:48]flasks and now he begins to go back and he's returning back

[67:51]and he could see the tent in his sights and they knew

[67:57]of abbas means that the water is coming back the problem is

[68:03]when the alam gets lower and lower why is the alam getting

[68:08]lower on t it's not as high as it was before all

[68:12]of a sudden one of them shrunk off the right arm of

[68:22]the belfast he called out one [Music] if you cut off my

[69:02]right arm forever this religion and defend an imam a truthful and

[69:13]satan the grandson of the holy pure prophet of god hamas then

[69:20]took the flask so he took the minute to his left arm

[69:24]all of a sudden one of them struck the left arm over

[69:30]the father what did he say when they struck off his left

[69:33]hand yeah [Music] attack me sukena's waiting hussein's waiting zaynab's waiting i've

[70:06]never let any of them down all of a sudden on that

[70:14]moment struck off the right eye of abel normally when someone falls

[70:18]from their horse they fall with their arms in front of them

[70:24]except a belly fat he fell with no arms in front of

[70:31]him that moment what did he do his whole life he knew

[70:33]his brother was always with him look at the difference joseph's brothers

[70:38]wanted to bury him to kill him who say not to now

[70:43]come to maria [Applause] removed why what reason what's going on what

[71:00]is it that abbas wanted to explain there must be something deep

[71:04]down he showed the meaning of loyalty how can i how can

[71:13]i have my head in peace in a moment where will your

[71:16]head be here you place my head in your lap in a

[71:25]moment shimmer will take your head away from me the exchange that

[71:28]then took place breaks our heart every year when i recite it

[71:31]listen to that love that is there with abbas and hussain first

[71:36]imam al-hussein asks him call me just once i want you to

[71:45]call me your brother hussain because always you call me master but

[71:52]what does abbas want from abba abdullah what is it what a

[71:59]request i beg you leave me here i promise to carry no

[72:02]water i've got no water for her when imam al-hussein returned to

[72:08]the tent looked at abba abdullah where's my uncle where's my uncle

[72:18]but for someone else it's the first time she's not seen her

[72:25]brother who was it zaynabil where's my abbas where's my boss tell

[72:34]me show me my advice i beg you show me she went

[72:38]to kufa she had to see abbas head on a spear she

[72:43]went to sham she had to see her boss's head on a

[72:45]spear when she returned to kerbela it was no surprise the first

[72:52]grave she went to was who abel she said by the grave

[72:57]the poet says what she said where were you when they slept

[73:12]for the orphans on the darkest of nights [Music] provide for all

[73:36]of our brethren muslim and non-muslim alike let's allah give them strength

[73:40]with their mental health with their mental illnesses ya allah bless us

[73:45]with the risk of health and allow us to have trust in

[73:50]your message and to follow the path of those whom you have

[73:54]chosen raise us with the imam of our time we pray to

[74:00]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to allow us to be of those who

[74:05]honor abel false this year and every year and to perform his

[74:08]diyarah in the land of karbala we pray to allah subhanahu wa

[74:19]ta'ala but before the loudest of your salawat
