[0:00][Applause] [Music] alhamd muham [Music] k my respected father my dear brothers

[1:06]and sisters assalam allum I would like to begin by congratulating you

[1:16]all on this auspicious occasion the birth of the savior of humanity

[1:26]the promise of Allah and the one who was promised by all

[1:33]of the Divine books not only the religion of Islam not only

[1:42]the Quran but all of the religions and the one who will

[1:47]spread peace and Justice on Earth after it has been filled with

[1:55]oppression and tyranny the one who will finally for the first time

[2:01]in the history of the universe establish justice all over the world

[2:07]because if we see that there has not been one time in

[2:13]the history of this universe that the religion of Islam and Justice

[2:19]and peace has prevailed but this is one of the promises of

[2:25]Allah subhanahu wa taala in the Quran and in the scriptures before

[2:29]the Quran where Allah says at the End of Time the promise

[2:49]of Allah is that the de the True Religion the true monotheism

[2:52]the true Faith Justice and peace will prevail over everything and we

[3:03]see that this has never happened he came he brought the religion

[3:09]of Islam but the religion of Islam did not Prevail over the

[3:17]whole universe all of the prophets that came before they brought a

[3:22]message they fulfilled their duties but their Duty was confined to the

[3:28]time frame that they were living and to the geographic location but

[3:34]this is one of the promises of Allah that will take over

[3:41]the whole universe and this is a shared belief that not only

[3:45]we the followers of the ah bit have this is a belief

[3:48]that all of the main religions you see Judaism they have a

[3:53]belief in the Messiah that will come and bring Justice at the

[3:59]end of time Christians believe that Jesus will come at the end

[4:03]of time and Justice and peace will prevail and the Muslims also

[4:11]believe the same that a savior will come along with the Messiah

[4:17]who is Jesus where he tells his companions how would you be

[4:32]when the son of maram reveals himself he descends but the Imam

[4:37]is from you the IM is from the Muslims and the IM

[4:42]of Isa Jesus will be IM what is the goal of IM

[4:55]what will he accomplish what will he do in Du one of

[5:01]the duas that we will be reciting inshallah in the month of

[5:05]Ramadan which is the month of IM because you see in almost

[5:12]every Dua that is recited in the month of Ramadan the name

[5:15]of IM is mentioned and we pray for the hastening of the

[5:20]reappearance of the Imam a portion of that Dua we say make

[5:41]the religion apparent and the of it will be revealed what does

[5:51]this mean this means that today the religion that we see it

[5:55]is not the True Religion probably 90% of what we see or

[5:59]a lot L of what we see it's not the true message

[6:04]of and this is why we see the challenges that we face

[6:08]today why are so many channels attacking the religion of Islam why

[6:15]is it that a person who is campaigning to be president of

[6:21]the United States he finds that in order to get higher ratings

[6:24]he has to attack the religion of Islam the answer is because

[6:32]the true image of Islam has not been revealed yet the true

[6:36]image of Islam people's Society does not know the true image of

[6:41]Islam this is why the Imam says the religion let it become

[6:46]apparent with the rise of IM and theah of shall become apparent

[6:55]because today we see that there are two groups of people that

[6:59]don't know Islam the first they are the Muslims themselves many Muslims

[7:03]don't know the reality of Islam this is why narration say that

[7:11]when the Imam reappears some people will say they will say he

[7:15]is bringing a new religion because it's very different from the Rel

[7:20]from the perspective that many people have of religion today this is

[7:25]why we constantly ask Allah to keep us on the right track

[7:28]because many people throughout these years they diverted away from the h

[7:34]and the Islam that you see being portrayed in the television in

[7:38]the media unfortunately this is the image that some groups of Muslims

[7:44]are giving and second many non-muslims do not know about the religion

[7:51]of Islam they see the Islam of Fox News and CNN this

[7:54]is the Islam that they follow so this is why when the

[8:00]Imam comes he will reveal the true Faith there will be no

[8:12]fear from any of the any of the creation to spread Justice

[8:15]and the true image of Islam the religion of Islam will not

[8:24]be compromised because out of fear of others this is what the

[8:30]IM will do and He will show the true image of Islam

[8:35]the same one of the religion of Islam where people were entering

[8:40]in the religion of Islam in flocks this was today what is

[8:51]the image that we see when the Imam comes this is exactly

[8:56]what will happen in a peaceful way there are some groups that

[9:00]try to distort the image that try to give a negative image

[9:03]of IM that say he will come with the sword and fighting

[9:08]but the Imam he follows the Sunnah of his grandfather he follows

[9:15]the Sunnah of his grandfathers who spread the religion of Islam with

[9:21]peace with logic with love and this is how spread his mission

[9:25]the Imam will come and fulfill the role and the task of

[9:31]124,000 prophets and Messengers including he will fulfill the task of prophet

[9:42]M Prophet Isa Al and all of the prophets because all of

[9:48]the prophets they wanted to spread the image of ISL The Message

[9:54]of Islam and he will fulfill their task this is why we

[9:57]see when we study the life of imah we see that there's

[10:03]a correlation there's a direct correlation with the Imam and the and

[10:07]the lives of the prophets the Imam is connected with the prophets

[10:13]why so that when I hear about an Imam who is an

[10:21]occultation or whose Miracle whose birth was a miracal birth I shall

[10:25]not be surprised because the Quran tells us about prophets who have

[10:29]similar stories and this is why the IM he says Imad says

[10:48]that Allah chose for our referring to the IM three that he

[10:53]chose for three of the prophets and then he says Allah subhah

[11:05]wa tala chose that the birth of IM is similar to the

[11:12]birth of prophet M and we will discuss this shortly and then

[11:17]he says and he chose that his occultation hidden from the eyes

[11:27]it's similar to the occultation of Isa isn't Jesus hidden from the

[11:31]eyes and then he says he says he chose his long life

[11:39]similar to Prophet n so here it becomes easy to believe in

[11:46]the Imam if I believe in the Quran if I believe that

[11:51]M his birth was a miracle birth and Allah subhah wa ta'ala

[11:55]protected him at a young age when his mother she goes and

[12:01]she places him in the Nile and he is protected by the

[12:04]permission of Allah this makes it easy for me to believe that

[12:09]IM is also his birth is a miracle and his life is

[12:11]protected at a young age and then when we hear about the

[12:19]long life that the Imam lives this is also not a strange

[12:22]concept if I believe in the Quran if I follow the Quran

[12:26]and the verses of the Quran Allah speaks about the life of

[12:31]n Prophet Noah who lived for over 2,500 years 950 years with

[12:38]his people and his occultation it's similar to the occultation of Isa

[12:45]Prophet Isa who is also hidden from the eyes but we Muslims

[12:52]believe that he was not crucii crucified and he did not die

[12:56]and he will come back on a night like this a very

[13:04]Holy Night in the Muslim calendar Allah subhah destined for to be

[13:14]born and the story is that hakima the sister of imadi she

[13:24]was in the house of imass on a night like this the

[13:31]14th the night of the 15th of Shan imanari he tells her

[13:36]oh my dear Aunt she is the daughter of Imam alh Hadi

[13:39]the sister of Imam alh Hadi he tells her oh my dear

[13:47]Aunt tonight stay with us stay and sleep here tonight because will

[13:52]be born on a night like this so she says she stayed

[13:59]and she he she asks she asks imanari who is the mother

[14:06]of IM there's no signs of any pregnant woman in the house

[14:11]of imanari he tells her Nas she's the mother of Imam so

[14:17]she says I went I sat NIS she used to be a

[14:23]slave the IM imadi he bought her and he freed her but

[14:29]she was in the house serving in and helping out so she

[14:32]says that she saw the sister the aunt of IM IM she

[14:38]goes she wants to take off her shoes she tells her how

[14:45]are you today oh my she tells her you are my say

[14:56]you are the one who is carrying the of Allah she says

[15:02]on that night I stayed up worshiping and praying and I kept

[15:07]looking at nuris I don't see signs of pregnancy she says I

[15:13]was looking at her imar he called me from the room he

[15:19]told me oh my dear Aunt don't worry this is a promise

[15:21]of Allah and it shall happen she says a few hours later

[15:29]close to f was born he was born performing and he recited

[15:40]this verse [Music] mamam of course if we believe in the Quran

[16:29]which all Muslims are supposed to believe in the Quran all of

[16:36]this that I mentioned should not be a surprise to us an

[16:42]Imam who speaks immediately after his birth didn't isaam speak right after

[16:48]his birth an IM who lives for a long life didn't nisam

[16:55]live a longer life an Imam who in occultation didn't many of

[17:02]the prophets go in occultation and Prophet Isam he's an occultation and

[17:11]there's a reason that there's a correlation between the story of IM

[17:16]and the prophets before and this is because the mission of the

[17:24]Imam is the mission of the prophets IM is not only the

[17:28]IM for the Shia he's not only Imam for the Muslims but

[17:31]he's a universal Imam one who is Promised by Allah subhanahu waala

[17:37]in the books before the Quran and Allah says in the Quran

[17:44]in the Psalms of David at the end of time Earth shall

[17:58]be inherited by the righteous now I don't want to talk too

[18:04]much about the history of the IM I want to talk about

[18:09]what our Duties are today and this is perhaps the most important

[18:13]question that we shall answer because many times people ask when will

[18:20]the Imam reappear what are the signs of the Imam and many

[18:25]questions are asked isn't there enough Injustice in the world When will

[18:30]the IM appear these are all legitimate questions but we should first

[18:39]of all have on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and submit to Allah

[18:43]and never lose hope in Allah subhanahu wa taala because the far

[18:51]according to the narrations of the the far it shall come within

[18:55]one night in a Hadith from he says says the is from

[19:11]us Allah shall change everything within one night in another Hadith IM

[19:19]he tells his companions do not lose hope during the time of

[19:26]the because the far shall come within one night and then he

[19:29]gives them an example of prophet Musa he says Musa he went

[19:34]to bring fire to his family and he came back as a

[19:40]prophet of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala so Allah shall change everything within one

[19:46]night and we shall we should never lose hope in the in

[19:49]Allah subhah wa ta'ala and in the Savior that Allah shall send

[19:55]but there is a very important question that we should ask ask

[19:59]and that is what have we done to prepare for the arrival

[20:05]of the Imam more important then when will the Imam come the

[20:09]question is am I ready for the Imam when he comes because

[20:14]he may come he may come tomorrow he may come in a

[20:17]year if I keep asking when the Imam will come but then

[20:20]when he comes and I'm not ready what is that going to

[20:24]help me I have to ask am I ready for the Imam

[20:27]when he comes and here is where we have to try to

[20:31]strengthen our relationship with the Imam of our time because unfortunately many

[20:38]of us we treat him like a normal IM like IM Hussein

[20:43]IM s IM who are deceased imams the Imam he has to

[20:50]be treated in a completely different way because he's a living Imam

[20:54]living amongst us but do we treat him as if he is

[21:00]alive and amongst us and within us unfortunately many of us know

[21:05]this is why and the IMs of the they insisted on their

[21:10]followers to prepare for the arrival of the Imam one is that

[21:16]we have to prepare ourselves we have to make sure we're ready

[21:20]for the Imam when he comes prepare myself personally and prepare the

[21:24]environment for the Imam when he comes just like when you have

[21:29]a guest coming to your house if you have a guest coming

[21:31]to your house are you just going to sit and wait no

[21:35]you're going to prepare you're going to get ready and if you're

[21:39]hungry you're going to keep looking out the window this is how

[21:44]we are but with the Imam how are we preparing what are

[21:50]we doing to prepare for the Imam how am I preparing myself

[21:53]second is that we have to constantly think of the Imam we

[21:59]prepare ourselves and prepare the environment but we have to always have

[22:04]the Imam on our minds cuz unfortunately for many of us the

[22:10]Imam is forgotten even though he is alive and he is amongst

[22:14]us this is why the duas of the they treat the im

[22:20]as if he is living with us in one of the zaras

[22:24]we speak to the IM by saying peace be upon you when

[22:33]you stand peace be upon you when you are sitting you know

[22:51]a mother when her child is away she's worried what is her

[22:58]child eating how's is he sleeping what is he doing right now

[23:01]what's what is he safe is he comfortable this is how the

[23:07]imams they want us to think of the Imam how is he

[23:08]when he's awake how is he when he's praying how is he

[23:14]when he's walking they want us to think of the Imam in

[23:20]that way and there are numerous duas that make us think of

[23:25]the IM in that way in Dua we say we say are

[23:45]you in a Plains where are you right now try to imagine

[23:51]where the Imam is this is how we strengthen our bond with

[23:56]the Imam and the third and final thing that we have to

[24:01]do to prepare for the IM is Dua performing Dua and Allah

[24:08]subhah wa ta'ala answers our Dua Allah subhah wa ta'ala hears us

[24:12]every time we do Dua but Allah subh T also has a

[24:17]plan and his plan is the master plan but the imams of

[24:22]the they insist on their followers to constantly do Dua for the

[24:25]Imam even the imams themselves they used to also always do Dua

[24:34]for the IM Imad who came many years before IM IM his

[24:37]companions they say we entered on him and we saw him crying

[24:42]and he is saying oh my master your has taken away all

[24:54]of my rest and it has made me worried so they tell

[25:01]the IM what's wrong he tells them I read in theab one

[25:03]of the books that has all of what shall happen in history

[25:10]and he says I read what will happen to the followers of

[25:12]IM and how many people will be lost in the and this

[25:18]has brought sadness in my heart this is why the imams they

[25:25]tell their followers to perform Dua in a Hadith from IM he

[25:36]says you will come through a time of where you will not

[25:42]have your IM amongst you your IM will be hidden from your

[25:44]eyes although he is with you but he is hidden from your

[25:51]eyes and then the Imam says he says the only one that

[26:04]shall be saved is the one who performs the Dua of the

[26:06]is the one who is drowning this means that you have to

[26:11]be desperate when you're drowning you're desperate to hold on to life

[26:15]the imams they say this is how you have to do Dua

[26:19]when you want the Imam to come and then the Imam says

[26:29]what you have to say he says you [Music] say Allah oh

[26:44]the one who changes the hearts keep your heart my heart stable

[26:49]on this path Don't Let Me Be Shaken very easily and my

[26:55]faith be shaken make my faith strong this is one of the

[27:04]duas another Dua one of the companions Z the companion of IM

[27:08]sad he tells the Imam what shall we do if we are

[27:13]in the time of the IM he tells him you say if

[27:24]you are in the time of then perform this Dua oh Allah

[27:32]make me know you let me know my Lord because if I

[27:44]don't know Allah then I shall not know the IM I shall

[27:48]not know the prophet and then oh Allah let me know your

[28:03]Prophet because if I don't know your Prophet I shall not know

[28:08]your oh Allah let me be knowing the IM and have a

[28:15]strong relationship with the the IM because if I don't know myah

[28:26]then I will be misled so we ask Allah subhana to hasten

[28:30]the reappearance of the Imam of our time and make us from

[28:38]the ones who follow the path of the Imam of our time

[28:41]when during his and when he reappears [Music] inshd
