[0:52]Vera Medina Menasha voila no V or agile Marcin II sadaqa allahu

[1:01]la rioja beem sala allah muhammad wa ala muhammad chapter 12 of

[1:12]the holy quran Surat Yusuf is nothing short of a masterpiece of

[1:17]course the entire Quran is a literary masterpiece but specifically chapter number

[1:29]12 so let's Yusuf which is chronologically arranged the story of Yusuf

[1:36]and serves as a model for a number of Islamic principles and

[1:46]values such as patience forbearance much of the artistic commentary that's found

[1:55]on the Quran pertains to this chapter principles of management leadership and

[2:01]governance are also to be found in this chapter and Allah subhana

[2:07]WA Ta'ala says raka dhalika McKenna Lucifer fill our McKenna comes from

[2:16]the verb Tim Kean which means to empower to give power to

[2:25]someone or to establish and the verse or the word appears a

[2:28]number of times in the Holy Quran for instance in chapter 22

[2:36]allah subhanho wa taala describes the believers they say that power when

[2:41]someone is given power power reveals your true self power reveals your

[2:51]true nature so a forgiving person by nature will remain a forgiving

[2:58]person even if they attain power a generous person can remain generous

[3:04]or maybe become more generous when they attain power so power tends

[3:09]to reveal what is truly on the inside so Allah subhana WA

[3:18]Ta'ala says in chapter number 22 alladhina in Mecca now fill out

[3:23]of a promise alotta who are to zakat there are people that

[3:28]are driven out from their homes so they have been oppressed meaning

[3:32]that they have been stripped of any sort of power but if

[3:35]we gave them power if we gave them authority and influence a

[3:41]calm of salata were are to zakat they would establish the prayers

[3:46]they would not abandon the prayers and they would give charity they

[3:49]would not take from people likewise the Quran shows us the contrary

[3:58]in Chapter number six there's a general address that says enemy arrow

[4:03]can elect Nam in public a member mannan mecanim fill a l've

[4:07]malum noumic in Lacombe have they not seen have the people not

[4:15]seen how we have destroyed and annihilated and it's not so much

[4:19]that God has destroyed or annihilated them but themselves through their own

[4:23]practices their self destructive practices have destroyed themselves have annihilated themselves and

[4:32]these were people who were the Quran says mccannon finale mallum Nomad

[4:37]kinloch Oh Oh yoo-hoo the verses are speaking to those people had

[4:42]more power and more authority than you have in another chapter Allah

[4:49]subhana WA Ta'ala says in chapter number 46 describing the tribe of

[4:55]odd the tribe of odd were an Arabian tribe and their prophet

[4:58]that was sent to them was the prophethood and who hasn't as

[5:03]an entire chapter dedicated to him in the Quran he says laqad

[5:07]McKenna whom FEMA in mechanic's on fee meaning that they that we

[5:13]gave them power we gave them authority in a way that we

[5:19]did not give you power and authority but they misused it these

[5:22]were the great people of odd and let's see Lambeth knew ha

[5:28]Phil Balad for answers aramid artillery mother their city went by the

[5:32]name of Iran and let's see lam yasha through - ballade Allah

[5:36]says there was nothing right the city that they had built and

[5:41]there are some descriptions of what that said it looked like towers

[5:45]and and and and pillars made of all sorts of fine materials

[5:51]and they themselves were according to the Quran a very very great

[5:57]people they were larger than life but they misused their power they

[6:07]misuse what God gave them and so it all came crashing down

[6:10]so there are there is good empowerment in the Quran where Allah

[6:15]subhana WA Ta'ala says we give people certain power and they make

[6:20]good use of it and some people would give them power and

[6:23]they abuse it likewise when you look at some families a father

[6:31]one father he may use his influence to influence his children in

[6:36]a positive way and one father may use his authority strong hand

[6:43]his children and to break them and he misuses it and you

[6:49]see the jails and the Penitentiary's today are full of men and

[6:53]women whose parents either the mother or father and most of the

[6:57]time it's the father unfortunately who misuses the relationship there they're an

[7:04]authority figure but they misuse it so with great power comes great

[7:08]responsibility and that's why we have to ask ourselves that if we

[7:15]want God to empower us if we want God to establish us

[7:18]you want the right people to come in your life you want

[7:24]more money a bigger paycheck you want a better position at your

[7:28]work in your career you want your business to expand and do

[7:34]well the question is is if God empowers you and God establishes

[7:37]you in the earth are you going to be like the people

[7:43]of odd or are you going to be like the people who

[7:44]he has described such as Yusuf raka dhalika mcanally use of Apple

[7:52]ROV Yetta Baba omen hahaha that he had exercised his influence and

[7:56]authority in such a way that he can travel the entire land

[7:59]the land of Egypt and live wherever he wanted to and he

[8:05]would be welcomed and he would still retain his power and his

[8:09]authority the Prophet Yusuf Ali said I'm one thing that was particularly

[8:18]is that he spent a lot of time in seclusion and solitude

[8:21]some of it was involuntary but some of it was voluntary so

[8:29]the times that were involuntary was what when he was thrown down

[8:32]when he was tossed into the well by his brothers who sold

[8:38]him out out of jealousy that was not voluntary it's not something

[8:42]that he willfully participated in there are narrations that teach us the

[8:48]duaa the supplication that the Prophet uses supplicated by when he was

[8:52]in the darkness of the well in order to be saved but

[8:59]he spent time in seclusion in that and and and when you

[9:01]find some of the greatest leaders some of the greatest world leaders

[9:05]and some of the most influential people they spent time in a

[9:13]solitary state in seclusion so that they can reflect they can contemplate

[9:19]the Koran constantly challenges mankind to reflect and think and contemplate a

[9:27]fillet asada Barone if I lie at a factor own do they

[9:30]not think do they not ponder do they not contemplate and sometimes

[9:35]in order to do that you need to get away from distractions

[9:39]you need to put the devices away sometimes you know they did

[9:46]research that shows that when you get a notification on your phone

[9:54]when you get pinged and it happens on a continuous basis the

[9:59]chemicals that are released by your brain are the same chemicals that

[10:04]are released when you take certain drugs it's the same feeling that's

[10:09]why a lot of people the first thing that happens when their

[10:11]phone pings when they get a notification is they have to check

[10:16]the notification there was someone who is saying one time he was

[10:20]recommended that you know what do what do most people do the

[10:22]first thing that when they wake up in the morning is they

[10:27]check the notifications on their phone and they start scrolling through social

[10:32]media through snapchat and Instagram and Facebook and and everything else and

[10:34]whatsapp and opening up the videos and listening and they spend twenty

[10:39]thirty minutes sometimes an hour in bed doing that he says well

[10:42]what you're doing when you do that he says you're you're inviting

[10:47]all of those people into your bedroom first thing in the morning

[10:52]imagine inviting those people first thing in the morning before you've even

[10:56]washed your face or brush your teeth you're interacting with the outside

[11:00]world so he was encouraging the habit of not going to your

[11:05]phone first thing in the morning so sometimes we need to be

[11:09]in seclusion and in isolation and this is exactly what our prophet

[11:13]muhammad sallallahu alehiwassallaam did he would seek seclusion he would seek to

[11:24]be alone in the cave of hella and that's where he received

[11:31]his wisdom that's where he received his inspiration if you read the

[11:35]description of Jesus Christ in the Bible the Prophet ISA aleihsalaam he

[11:38]would spend time alone in the wilderness even some of the more

[11:45]influential leaders there's a narration that's narrated from our 7th Imam al

[11:52]imam moussa hidamari salaam and we history describes him as having spent

[11:56]a long time a very long time in jail in prison and

[11:58]there's a debate about how long he spent exactly but there's a

[12:06]narration that the imam ali salam this was his attitude when he

[12:09]was in the darkness and it wasn't just the prison you know

[12:14]like a penitentiary you see today it was a it was a

[12:16]Pomona it was a pit in the ground and no light would

[12:21]enter narrations say that he would come close in order to to

[12:25]attain some of the light and the guards would use their weapons

[12:32]to push him back into the darkness and in those moments his

[12:36]door his supplication to God was oh Allah I have been waiting

[12:41]for a time for you to place me in solitary confinement so

[12:45]I can build my relationship with you I've been looking forward to

[12:51]this being alone so sometimes being alone not loneliness but being alone

[12:58]is good for you some influential leaders modern-day influential leaders that's where

[13:05]their greatness came from it came from solitary confinement now they say

[13:11]that Abraham Lincoln used to spend a lot of time in the

[13:13]wilderness with his axe and that's how he got the name Honest

[13:18]Abe that's where his honesty came from if you read the Autobiography

[13:22]of Malcolm X which I recommend some of you are familiar with

[13:25]his life maybe you've seen the movie but if you read his

[13:27]autobiography where did he become enlightened it wasn't when he was on

[13:34]the street it was finally when he was in prison when there

[13:38]was there was no more bad activity to engage in so he

[13:43]said he writes in his autobiography that I went to the prison

[13:46]library and I read every single book that was there any book

[13:51]that I can get my hands on he came out a completely

[13:53]different individual he began to grow he realized that he had this

[13:57]hunger inside of him for literacy and for learning and for enlightenment

[14:05]but because he was out in the streets all he could do

[14:07]was hustle and make money but he found his true purpose once

[14:14]he was alone in prison so sometimes we're trying to find ourselves

[14:18]by surrounding ourselves with people sometimes you need solitary confinement to find

[14:23]yourself to dig deep to figure out who you truly are on

[14:26]the inside and that's the story of Yusuf what that begins to

[14:33]create once you reflect is a concept today known as self-awareness when

[14:37]they talk about emotional intelligence EPU and there's a number of books

[14:43]that have been written on the subject of emotional intelligence and the

[14:47]multiple intelligence theory self-awareness is a big part of emotional intelligence knowing

[14:54]yourself knowing your habits knowing your triggers knowing when you get angry

[15:01]or what causes you joy and happiness knowing yourself and this is

[15:08]why the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam says men are fond

[15:15]of say sorrow Fariba he who knows himself meaning he who develops

[15:20]self-awareness he will know allah subhana wa ta'ala sometimes we're looking for

[15:25]God thinking that we're gonna find God in a book that we

[15:30]read or out in the wilderness you know backing in in California

[15:33]there's a number of national parks and it's known that Yosemite National

[15:41]Park is where where a theists go to feel spiritual I spoke

[15:43]to a doctor one time a highly accomplished doctor he said he

[15:47]was born into an Orthodox Church he says but I'm kind of

[15:52]agnostic atheist and if I if I want to know that there's

[15:56]a sense of a God I go to your simony Park so

[15:58]people they go out into the wilderness they search but they never

[16:02]search within themselves all of it resides within you because you are

[16:06]God's greatest sign there are a few verses of poetry that are

[16:14]attributed to amirul mumineen attesa Monika German severe whoa freaking power alum

[16:19]will Akbar oh do you claim that you're a tiny speck when

[16:23]the entire universe is in folded in you so sometimes really need

[16:32]to look inwards I was listening to someone one time he said

[16:36]that a group of he was telling a story that's it's a

[16:39]fictional story but it makes a lot of sense it's like a

[16:44]like a sobs fables you know he said a group of devils

[16:45]got together a group of shayateen the Quran talks about when the

[16:51]shayateen get together and they begin to conspire with one another so

[16:56]they were asking among themselves that how do we strip humanity of

[17:00]joy and happiness so one of them suggested let's bury it deep

[17:06]down into the ocean so they said no human beings their technology

[17:09]is getting better and better they're reaching the darkest parts of the

[17:13]ocean so they said okay where else can we hide it they

[17:18]said well we'll hide it on top of the highest mountain and

[17:19]they said no well human beings have been you know recently conquering

[17:24]what is it Mount Everest people have reached the top of Everest

[17:28]they'll find it there so one of them came up with a

[17:32]good idea he said we'll bury it deep within their hearts because

[17:35]that's the one place where most people they don't look so they

[17:39]go to the deepest parts of the ocean and the highest parts

[17:41]of the mountain but they don't look within themselves so what you

[17:45]need for a joy and happiness is not located out there it's

[17:51]located within but because we're so distracted by the outside world we

[17:55]think that our happiness comes from the outside world it doesn't come

[18:00]from the outside world happiness is a choice it's a state of

[18:02]mind and not every day you're gonna be happy joy is different

[18:09]than happiness so someone was saying recently that every day you love

[18:14]your kids but every day you don't like your kids in our

[18:18]days when you don't like your kids but you still love your

[18:20]kids and love comes from joy liking comes from happiness that was

[18:27]the point so in order to reach those high levels of mataf

[18:30]of recognition and if you want to recognize Allah subhana WA Ta'ala

[18:34]you look within see self-awareness is even important from a medical point

[18:41]of view and a mental health point of view some mental health

[18:45]disorders some mental health challenges sometimes people say well this person has

[18:53]depression or this person has schizophrenia or this person is they're affected

[18:58]by by a certain condition and they're in denial which is true

[19:05]but denial is only short-term when it's long-term it's not denial it's

[19:10]lack of self-awareness denial is something which is temporary if you're familiar

[19:16]with when they talk about in psychology the five stages of grief

[19:18]when you lose a loved one or when you know when the

[19:22]doctor gives you a diagnosis and says you have six months to

[19:25]live or three months to live what are the five stages it

[19:32]begins with denial that's the first one the they call it the

[19:35]kubler-ross model it was designed by Elisabeth kubler-ross who is a psychologist

[19:40]in the 1960s number one is denial you tend to deny it

[19:45]first when you hear the news of someone path you deny it

[19:47]the second is anger I believe and then after anger comes bargaining

[20:00]you to bargain if I'm a good person is this gonna be

[20:02]reversed can I get my can I earn my life back and

[20:06]then the fourth is depression and then the fifth finally is acceptance

[20:09]those are the five stages denial the first one is temporary it's

[20:17]always temporary finally you get to a point where you realize that

[20:20]no this person has really passed away they've departed or I'm really

[20:24]facing this challenge and I need to stop denying it I need

[20:30]to move on to another emotion so denial when it comes to

[20:33]mental health illness as well is something which is temporary if the

[20:37]mental health illness proceeds for a long time it's no longer denial

[20:43]now it's a lack of self-awareness so we need to start knowing

[20:46]ourselves man arafa neva taka talla for Abba and this was a

[20:51]story of the prophet youssef now I want to share with you

[20:53]three things that the Prophet use of Ali said I'm saw within

[20:55]himself number one Yusuf was a man of confidence he was very

[21:03]confident in his ability and he says in the Quran when his

[21:09]time came Carla Alenia allah azza in an utterly in DeHoff even

[21:13]Adam when finally his time came after he had successfully interpreted the

[21:20]dream of the king and the king was happy with him he

[21:27]stepped up to the plate he had the confidence to step up

[21:29]to the plate and say College ali allah azza in illa allah

[21:35]make me in charge of the storehouses where you keep the food

[21:39]that you harvest your treasury in the half even Adam I am

[21:44]a good keeper and I am knowledgeable in these affairs so this

[21:47]shows us that Yusuf number one had confidence even though he had

[21:52]just come out of jail he was straight out of the prison

[21:54]he was straight out of the can but he had enough confidence

[21:58]in his ability so how do you gain confidence how does a

[22:01]person become confidence is it a commodity that you could just walk

[22:04]into the supermarket in io7 third roll up grab a can of

[22:08]confidence doesn't happen that way number one confidence happens through a skill

[22:12]set that you built I'll give you an example they say that

[22:16]the most feared thing I don't know how accurate this is but

[22:19]they say that the most feared thing is public speaking standing in

[22:23]front of people and speaking it's what terrifies people the most one

[22:26]of the things that terrifies people the most well how do you

[22:31]become confident in public speaking if you ask anyone who is a

[22:33]public speaker or a public presenter about their first time I can

[22:38]tell you for myself my knees were shaking like this I was

[22:41]standing behind a podium like this one but your confidence builds the

[22:45]more you do something so you commit yourself to a skill set

[22:52]confidence doesn't also come from knowledge confidence is also related to wisdom

[22:57]there's a difference between knowledge and wisdom so you have information and

[23:02]then you have knowledge and then you have wisdom there's a difference

[23:08]between knowledge and wisdom knowledge I'll give you an example to show

[23:13]the difference between knowledge and wisdom knowledge is if you ask is

[23:16]a tomato a fruit or a vegetable what's a tomato is it

[23:22]a fruit or a vegetable not two fruit it's a fruit it

[23:25]has citric acid so knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit

[23:30]wisdom is that you don't put tomato in a fruit salad I

[23:34]mean in today's world with vegans and everything you put anything in

[23:38]anything but normally when you think of fruit salad you don't put

[23:43]tomato even though it's a fruit so wisdom is knowing where to

[23:46]apply the knowledge wisdom is know is is knowledge in application knowing

[23:52]where to put everything in its space why is this important because

[23:58]sometimes when it comes to our personal decisions don't just base your

[24:03]personal decisions off of knowledge base it off of wisdom sometimes I

[24:12]get the question is something halal or Haram and although something being

[24:16]Haram is a good enough reason to stay away from it sometimes

[24:20]people require a little bit more convincing or they ask you something

[24:25]hollande and if the answer is yes that's knowledge but knowing whether

[24:30]that thing is right for you at that moment that requires wisdom

[24:34]so one of the examples that I get a lot and I'll

[24:39]just say it I might get heat for this but people ask

[24:40]especially young men asked me these days or tattoos halal or Haram

[24:46]there's an answer for that the reality is there's an answer for

[24:49]that but if you're going to base your life only off of

[24:53]something and it's very convenient because a lot of the times that's

[24:56]the only I won't say that I can't judge people's intentions so

[25:01]what what I tried to tell why did what I try to

[25:05]get people to understand is you need to base yourself your decisions

[25:07]more than if something is just halal or Haram maybe it's helada

[25:12]but it's not the right thing for you to do because it

[25:17]doesn't match with your image your public image that is wisdom that's

[25:21]basing your decision off of principles now if it matches your public

[25:26]image go ahead do whatever you want but it's not the wise

[25:32]thing to do in life what's gonna move you forward is not

[25:34]just knowledge wisdom is gonna move you forward there's a very successful

[25:39]entrepreneur some of you have probably heard his name Ray Dalio he

[25:44]wrote a book called principles Ray Dalio when he was 26 years

[25:47]old started the most successful what was to become the most successful

[25:51]hedge fund management company in the United States Bridgewater investments the man

[25:57]is a multi billionaire and in his book principles he says people

[26:01]you know he says people think that I'm smart he says I'm

[26:03]not very smart he says what what causes my success is not

[26:10]the information that I have it's the foundation and the principles of

[26:14]how I make decisions when I don't have information which is wisdom

[26:20]it's looking beyond just the information so confidence is also related to

[26:31]that so having confidence part of wisdom is confidence so how do

[26:36]you get confidence number one is by increasing your self-image so how

[26:40]do you increase your self-image there was an author who is a

[26:46]plastic surgeon in the 1940s his name is Maxwell Maltz and he

[26:49]wrote a book on psychology psycho cybernetics plastic surgeon writing a book

[26:56]on psychology and the reason he wrote the book is because he

[27:01]says that when I would work on people when I would change

[27:02]their nose or their ears or their smile or other parts of

[27:06]the body generally they would feel better about themselves most patients they

[27:09]would feel better a portion of them they didn't feel better about

[27:12]themselves at all so it began to interest me did I do

[27:16]the surgery wrong what's going on and he realized that those people

[27:20]that it didn't change theirs their their image at all didn't change

[27:23]their happiness it had nothing to do with their outer appearance and

[27:26]everything to do with their inner appearance so he said these people

[27:30]they didn't require an outside facelift they required an inside facelift he

[27:34]said some people would come to me and they would say doctor

[27:38]I want you to fix my nose and he would tell them

[27:39]there's nothing wrong with your nose it's an average-sized nose or my

[27:42]ears say there's nothing wrong with your ears its average size looks

[27:48]good against his judgment as a surgeon because he can make money

[27:50]off of it but he says that you don't need a facelift

[27:53]you need a spiritual facelift you need an inside facelift that's self-esteem

[27:59]number two it comes from your association the people that you hang

[28:03]out with they affect your self-image and your self-esteem like nothing at

[28:07]all and the Prophet use of a laser on teaches us an

[28:12]example about that when he was given the choice to associate with

[28:15]people who were enticing him to do evil or be by himself

[28:22]his respond was cholera BCG no AHA boo Aleya mamaia on any

[28:25]ill a that I would rather be in prison I would rather

[28:29]be alone I would rather be in solitary confinement then be with

[28:33]people who are going to corrupt my character and corrupt my decision

[28:36]there's a verse in the Bible that says bad company corrupts good

[28:41]character you may have good character but if you're surrounded by bad

[28:44]company it's gonna corrupt your good character likewise it corrupts your self-image

[28:49]it corrupts your self-esteem so whatever you put in the brain and

[28:56]I mentioned the other day in computer science the principle of GI

[29:00]geo garbage in garbage out if you put nonsense data into a

[29:04]computer nonsense data is also going to come out of it GI

[29:07]geo that was a phrase that was repeated in the early days

[29:11]when it came to computer programming and computer sciences and your brain

[29:15]is a multi trillion-dollar supercomputer there was a professor by the name

[29:20]of dr.

[29:21]Charles Herrick of the University of Chicago and he did this study

[29:23]many years ago about a hundred years ago he revealed that the

[29:26]brain the human brain has about 10 to 14 billion nerve cells

[29:31]just in the cerebral cortex and they're not arranged haphazardly they're all

[29:39]arranged systematically more than any other supercomputer that you can think of

[29:44]so if a computer garbage in garbage out what happens to the

[29:48]brain garbage in garbage out and that comes from your association so

[29:52]number one is confidence number two is competence what is competence competence

[30:01]is knowing that you can deliver and that comes from that comes

[30:04]from his statement college a niala fahza Anil of the indie half

[30:08]even Adam like I said there's a difference between knowledge and wisdom

[30:13]there's an abundance of information out there you can google anything and

[30:18]get information about anything but what people are starving for in today's

[30:22]day and age is not just information they want the truth the

[30:26]truth is not just in firm the truth is higher than information

[30:31]the truth is higher than even knowledge so truth becomes manifested through

[30:37]people people who actually have fruit on the tree in the area

[30:40]that they claim to be an expert in that's called competence you

[30:45]build competence over time I want to share a narration with you

[30:49]this is from imam al-ghazali sallam he says Monrovia Abbey laquifa Wadley

[30:55]a balaji nya a person who is lifted a person who is

[30:59]exalted to a position without having the requirements without having the competence

[31:05]they will fall what we are balaji nya even though they don't

[31:10]commit a crime even if they don't do anything wrong so sometimes

[31:14]we promote people I have a lot of fruits but no root

[31:21]there's a lot of fruit on the tree but there's no roots

[31:24]that are inside the ground that happens when we begin to idolize

[31:32]people that's idolatry idolatry is being attracted to the roots that has

[31:38]no fruit when we idolize people because of their presentation skills because

[31:42]of their voice because of this because of because of their appearance

[31:46]because of their attitude and the way they walk and the clothes

[31:49]that they wear Monrovia Monrovia ability fire will the ability nya those

[31:55]those very same people when we lift them and when they exalt

[31:59]them they will come crashing down and this can happen in any

[32:01]field even in the field of Islamic education so competence competence is

[32:07]very important and the third is trust Amana Trust is the glue

[32:15]that brings relationships together and when the King found that Yousef was

[32:21]trustworthy he said Allah in Nakano mana Dana McKinnon I mean that

[32:25]number one you are McKean going back to that idea of established

[32:30]and empowered we've established you we've established your position we're empowering you

[32:36]and you have proven yourself to be a mean trustworthy these are

[32:41]character these are three characteristics of a leader confidence competence and trust

[32:46]rasool allah sallallahu alehiwassallaam was known as assad apple ameen the truthful

[32:53]one the truthful trustworthy one moosa aleihsalaam was described in the following

[32:58]way in the higher ominous Geritol Cahuilla I mean when the daughter

[33:03]of tribe saw his conduct she went back to her father and

[33:08]she said Oh father the best type of person that you can

[33:10]employ as someone who is going strong and Ameen someone who is

[33:14]trustworthy and then they got married because she saw those characteristics within

[33:21]him jibra eel is also described as a ruffle I mean NASA

[33:28]knobby he ruefully I mean so being a person of trust so

[33:31]when we think about leadership we need to think about qualities that

[33:35]are rooted in the Quran and of course the chapter so let's

[33:41]use of there are many many more lessons to be derived out

[33:44]of that but those are the ones that I want to share

[33:47]with you and tonight we are in a night that we commemorate

[33:52]a person who brought all those characteristics together in the persona of

[33:56]one human being one who has confidence one who was competence one

[34:01]who was strong one who was trustworthy one who was established firmly

[34:09]rooted one who you can say his existence was engineered and designed

[34:18]to serve a specific purpose on the Day of Ashura and we

[34:22]understand that from the conversation that his sister zeyneb alehissalaam had with

[34:29]him the night of Ashura when she saw him standing outside of

[34:33]the tent tomorrow Allah will fadhl al-abbas and she was older than

[34:41]him in age and she engaged him in conversation she told him

[34:46]the story of how he came to be she told him the

[34:52]story of his mother Amal benin a lady that was hand selected

[34:55]handpicked from the background that she came from I mentioned the hadith

[35:01]yesterday the Prophet says after Allah no become final Erika the SAS

[35:08]that she was picked for a specific purpose because she came from

[35:13]a family that were known for their courage their valiance their bravery

[35:19]so that she can produce sons that would stand by the other

[35:28]sons during the time of calamity during a time when they were

[35:33]needed the most and she has this conversation with him as his

[35:38]sister she reminds him exactly why he was chosen an abode for

[35:43]Abbas Ali Salaam did not shy away from his responsibilities on the

[35:49]day of ashura his brother imam hussain ali saddam he placed him

[35:56]right at the center the camp of the Imam had a right

[36:01]flank it had a left flank and it had a center and

[36:06]he placed his family at the center and the standard-bearer at the

[36:10]center was about fadhl al-abbas alayhi salam standing there like a WatchGuard

[36:18]defending his brother defending the womenfolk an imam hussain ali salaam on

[36:22]the day of ashura he needed all of the strength that he

[36:24]could get to witness what he was witnessing and so after the

[36:32]companions had gone out into the battlefield narrations sell us that the

[36:36]first from the men of banu hashim was a lien in a

[36:38]kebab so even after a lien an equitable fadhl al-abbas was one

[36:43]of the last to go out into the battlefield and he went

[36:49]out into the battlefield and his initial request from the Imam was

[36:52]to go out and bring some water back to the children not

[36:55]to go out and fight but to bring some water the Imam

[36:59]could not even imagine losing his brother but after much negotiation the

[37:04]Imam turned to him he said to him and Tehama ulama he

[37:10]will allama 2min body he says you are my standard bearer you

[37:13]are the one that carries my flag if you are to fall

[37:17]who is going to carry my standard after you but I will

[37:23]follow Abbas he insisted to go out into the battlefield to fetch

[37:26]some water so he mounted his horse like the Prince that he

[37:31]was with full courage and bravery and valiance he went out towards

[37:39]the battlefield and he specifically directed himself towards the river and nobody

[37:44]can fight a mirror nobody can fight Apple fadhl al-abbas face to

[37:51]face so they try to deter him from getting to the water

[37:54]but he began to scatter them left and right until finally the

[38:02]path was made for him to kneel into the river natural alchemy

[38:04]to place his hands in the water to draw some of that

[38:10]cold water to place into the canteen to take back to the

[38:13]children and he placed his hands into the water and the narration

[38:17]says Fatah vicara Appa shell for sane Ali Salaam he remembered the

[38:24]thirst of his brother hussain ali salaam an imam al baqarah alayhi

[38:27]Salam says at that moment he says canif album me al abbas

[38:30]Kasauli at El Djem remaineth Lama he says from thirst al abbas

[38:37]himself his heart was like a beat it was like a burning

[38:40]piece of charcoal he was burning on the inside imagine what a

[38:48]drink of water a sip of water would have done to him

[38:51]how it would have brought back his strength he began to speak

[38:56]to himself yon f swim in battle Hosseini hooni wa ba hula

[39:04]buried al merini how own F's herself how can you get yourself

[39:10]to drink from this cold water while your brother Hussain is thirsty

[39:19]in a state of thirst so he let the water go from

[39:21]drinking it he poured he filled the canteen and he took the

[39:28]canteen he mounted his horse in order to go back to the

[39:30]camp of Imam Hussain so that he can deliver water to the

[39:34]children who had been thirsty for a number of days to his

[39:36]brother Omar Abdul sad began to turn to the army he began

[39:43]to tell them what is wrong with you do you know what

[39:47]will happen to the sons of Hashem if they are able to

[39:49]regain their strength through this water attack him so they began to

[39:53]surround him but Abu fadhl al-abbas was valiant his resolve was strong

[40:01]he knew what his mission was so he began to head back

[40:03]and as he began to head back the narration says that one

[40:08]of the enemy soldiers who was hiding behind a palm tree he

[40:11]came out from behind the palm tree and he struck a will

[40:15]fadhl al-abbas on his right arm immediately severing it i will fumble

[40:19]abbas alehissalaam began to recite verses of poetry that even if you

[40:27]cut off my right arm I will still continue to defend he

[40:31]defended himself in any way that he could with his left hand

[40:36]until someone else came another one of the enemy army came to

[40:39]him and struck him on his left hand also severing it at

[40:43]this moment I will follow Allah Abbas was defenseless he saw that

[40:47]his only chance was to deliver the water was to run back

[40:49]to the camp so the narration says that he grabbed the the

[40:54]handle of the container with his teeth and he began to run

[41:00]in the direction of imam hussain ali salaam he began to run

[41:03]but at that moment the arrows began to rain down from him

[41:08]from every side from left and right finally he was struck down

[41:16]then finally one arrow fell into the canteen and the water began

[41:19]to gush forth from it at that moment i will father abbas

[41:24]realized that he would not be able to continue his mission so

[41:27]he laid in his place as he laid in his place the

[41:32]enemy soldiers began to surround him from every direction they began to

[41:36]rain down upon him with their arrows with their spears with their

[41:40]weapons finally one of them came and took a flagpole and struck
