[2:09]mustafa mustafa al khaladi with allah i said brother mushtaq for this

[7:35]beautiful recitation now please help me welcome sayyid salih khuzwini with a

[7:39]loud salawat one of the primary qualities of god is the quality

[9:12]of justice allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is just and we believe that

[9:22]it is because of the justice of allah that allah subhanahu wa

[9:27]ta'ala does not hold us accountable more than what we can bear

[9:34]more than what we could tolerate allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not

[9:42]expect from me something something that is above my capacity this is

[9:49]because of god's justice furthermore god's justice entails that there is going

[9:56]to be a day of judgment allah is just therefore there's going

[10:01]to be a day of judgment where allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will

[10:06]deal with everyone with equality and justice and because of the justice

[10:13]of god because there's going to be a day of judgment allah

[10:18]subhanahu wa ta'ala sent prophets and messengers to guide us and show

[10:23]us the way if god was not just then he would not

[10:27]have sent prophets and messengers but because allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

[10:32]just he sends prophets and messengers to guide us and show us

[10:37]the way and furthermore these prophets and messengers because of god's justice

[10:46]they have to be infallible they have to be because if they

[10:52]were to teach us something wrong if they were to teach us

[10:56]something that is incorrect then that would go against the justice of

[11:04]allah god is not only just but god orders us to be

[11:11]just as well to treat people justly to establish justice on earth

[11:19]allah says in the quran allah orders allah commands for people to

[11:29]establish justice and goodness helping other people with ihsan everyone wishes to

[11:51]practice and establish justice everyone wishes for there to be justice in

[11:57]the land justice is a good thing everyone wants justice however typically

[12:05]we see that those who are in power those who are in

[12:09]positions of authority they do not like justice they despise justice and

[12:16]they try to get away with injustice this has this has been

[12:24]the way for thousands of years this is the way of humanity

[12:29]as soon as some people have some power as soon as some

[12:32]people have some wealth some authority they try to bypass justice and

[12:38]they go against justice allah says this in the quran as soon

[12:48]as someone becomes powerful then they try to bypass justice they try

[12:55]to go against justice this is one of the qualities of those

[13:00]who are in positions of power today you read some of the

[13:05]statistics that take place here in the united states you see that

[13:09]typically this is not a general rule but typically those who have

[13:15]power and have authority they have an easy way out of their

[13:19]mistakes and their errors either through paying money either through other ways

[13:25]where they can bypass they can bypass justice you look at the

[13:32]prisons you look at the jails you see that the majority of

[13:36]those who are in prisons the majority of them they come from

[13:39]lower class social classes the majority of those individuals are poor they

[13:45]suffer from poverty this is because typically those who have power those

[13:53]who have authority they escape justice this happens in many governments this

[14:00]happens everywhere except in the government of amir al mumineen ali ibn

[14:06]abi talib the government of amir al mumineen was a just government

[14:14]amir al mumineen was not changed by power power did not change

[14:19]the life of amir al mumineen it did not change the way

[14:23]he lived his position of power then they come and amir al

[14:42]mu'mineen power is given to him power is given to him once

[14:48]power is given to people typically you see people change change typically

[14:53]you see people are changed by power by money by wealth amir

[14:58]al mumineen ali ibn abi talib he was a leader who was

[15:01]not changed by this dunya he was a leader who was not

[15:05]changed by power and authority he would walk into the muslim treasury

[15:12]into the muslim treasury and he would see the bags of the

[15:17]gold and the silver right in front of him and he would

[15:20]begin to speak to the bags of the gold and silver and

[15:24]he would say oh gold and oh silver go and fool someone

[15:34]other than ali you cannot fool ali he would say oh dunya

[15:48]the slower life go and fool someone other than ali ibn abi

[15:52]talib i have divorced you three times and there is no going

[15:57]back there is no going back this is amir al mumineen a

[16:03]man who was not changed by power typically we see people who

[16:08]have power they become corrupt they start going against justice instead of

[16:14]establishing justice they turn against justice but you see amir al mumineen

[16:20]power did not change change him after one of the battles ibn

[16:29]abbas the cousin of amir al mumineen he goes and he sees

[16:35]amir al mumineen sitting in the tent and he has sandals his

[16:41]sandals in his hand he has his sandals in his hand and

[16:45]he's fixing his broken sandal strap ibn abbas he comes and he

[16:50]tells amir al mumineen oh amir al mumineen you just reached sitting

[17:04]here in your tent you're sitting trying to fix a sandal strap

[17:10]amir and al mumineen he tells him oh abdullah ibn abbas you

[17:16]see these sandals how much are they worth the man he tells

[17:22]amir al mumineen your sandals are not worth anything your sandals keep

[17:27]breaking and you keep fixing them this is by the way this

[17:30]is the man who was ruling what is equivalent to 50 countries

[17:34]today he was the leader of muslim empire what is equivalent to

[17:40]50 countries today his sandal strap breaks and he's sitting in the

[17:45]tent he's fixing it himself so ibn abbas tells him there's people

[17:49]outside you're here busy with your sandals amir al mumineen tells him

[17:54]how much are these worth he tells him your sandals are not

[17:57]worth anything then amir al mumineen tells him this khilafah and this

[18:04]leadership and this position of power for me it's worth less than

[18:09]this sandal except if i uphold justice and uphold the values of

[18:15]islam he says this dunya and this leadership for me it's less

[18:28]than a leaf that is in the mouth of a grasshopper what's

[18:33]the value of a leaf that's in the mouth of a grass

[18:36]hopper it's nothing amir al mumineen says your leadership is worth less

[18:42]than that except if i can uphold justice except if i can

[18:47]uphold the values of islam this is why you look at amir

[18:52]al mumineen you see amir al mumineen was not after power some

[18:56]people are surprised they come and they tell us how was amir

[19:00]al mumineen the legitimate caliph after the prophet when he did not

[19:03]go and pursue that he did not go and pursue leadership and

[19:08]he did not fight for his rights yes amir al mumineen the

[19:14]leadership was his right but amir al mu'mineen he lived by a

[19:19]rule that rarely do you see people following the majority of the

[19:24]people they live by this rule and the rule that the majority

[19:28]of the people live by it's that the ends justify the means

[19:34]meaning that you have a goal in mind you have a goal

[19:38]in mind and you're going to do whatever that whatever you can

[19:42]to reach your goal this is how most leaders live this is

[19:46]how many people live their lives they have a goal in mind

[19:50]they have a goal in life and they are willing to do

[19:53]whatever it takes to reach that goal some leaders they're willing to

[19:58]kill some of them are willing to oppress some are willing to

[20:02]cheat and steal and abuse people some will allow thousands and millions

[20:07]of people to be killed in order for them to reach their

[20:12]goal and they say the ends justify the means who cares how

[20:17]you reach your goal as long as you reach your goal amir

[20:22]and mumminin did not live like that even though the goal of

[20:25]amir and mumminin is the most holy of goals amir and mumminin

[20:29]his goal is to establish justice but amir and mumminin lived a

[20:34]life of principles a life of values because justice cannot be established

[20:41]on something that is shaking something that is not stable in order

[20:47]to reach the peaks of justice your foundations have to be strong

[20:52]this is amir al mumineen ali ibn abi talib you see people

[20:57]they're willing to break the laws they're willing to oppress in order

[21:01]to establish justice in order to rule in order to uphold some

[21:06]values amir al mumineen was not willing to do so this is

[21:10]why some people they came and they called amir al mumineen a

[21:14]failed leader they came and they said ali ibn abi talib is

[21:17]not a good political leader yes he's good when it comes to

[21:21]salah he's good when it comes to knowledge he's good when it

[21:24]comes to the quran but when it comes to political leadership ali

[21:28]ibn abi talib is not very good some people they came and

[21:31]they said what kind of a leadership does this man have where

[21:35]he ruled for five years those five years they were plagued with

[21:39]three civil wars all of the leaders before him and after him

[21:44]they were growing the muslim empire the muslim empire was growing with

[21:50]those that came before him and after him the umayyads the family

[21:55]that killed imam al hussain and the family of rasulullah they took

[22:00]islam they spread the religion of islam all the way to spain

[22:04]today spain is not a muslim country but there was a time

[22:08]that spain was a muslim country they took islam all the way

[22:12]over there and ali ibn abi talib is busy with civil wars

[22:17]yes because amir al mumineen for him it's not about quantity of

[22:22]muslims for amir al mumineen it's not about expanding and conquest and

[22:28]expansion of the muslim land during leadership of amir al mumineen the

[22:33]muslim land did not grow an inch in fact amir al mumineen

[22:37]lost some land because muawiyah he was in damascus he was in

[22:41]sham and he refused to accept the leadership of amir al mumineen

[22:45]but amir al mumineen lived by principles amir al mumineen led by

[22:51]values and principles and this is why amir al mumineen is alive

[22:56]in our hearts today this is why we continue to remember amir

[23:00]al mumineen ali ibn abi talib because he upheld justice he upheld

[23:07]the values of islam typically leaders tyrants kings dictators when they rule

[23:17]they oppress the people that they're ruling you know what how it

[23:20]was with amir al mumineen it was the opposite amir al mu'mineen

[23:25]he was the one who was oppressed by the people he was

[23:28]ruling and leading he was the man appointed by allah appointed by

[23:35]rasulullah appointed by the quran and yet he was the one who

[23:39]was being oppressed he was the one who was being harassed and

[23:44]abused by his own people but that did not stop ali ibn

[23:49]abi talib from establishing justice that did not stop al mumineen from

[23:54]upholding the values of justice and ever since amir al mumineen the

[24:00]world has not seen a just leader like him and the world

[24:05]will not see a just leader like ali ibn abi talib until

[24:09]his great grandson reappears imam al hajj al mahdi al muntavar this

[24:19]is amir al mumineen ali ibn abi talib who made sure that

[24:25]in order to uphold justice and the values of justice he has

[24:30]to implement it on himself first he has to implement it with

[24:34]himself look at the food he used to eat look at the

[24:39]life he used to live he says and know that your imam

[24:54]and know that your imam suffices with his food with two pieces

[25:00]of bread two pieces of bread every day and he has two

[25:04]outfits amir al mumineen has an outfit in the summer and an

[25:08]outfit for the winter this is this great just leader ali ibn

[25:14]abi talib at the same time that amir al mumineen was living

[25:19]mawiya was in damascus and mawiya was known to be building a

[25:24]palace and he would bring out on the meals when it's time

[25:30]to eat he would bring out so much food so much food

[25:34]that the whole muslim world was talking about the foods that he

[25:37]brings out so one day a man he goes to kufa and

[25:44]he wants to visit amir al mumineen ali ibn abi talib he

[25:47]comes to the masjid it's people are fasting he comes to the

[25:51]masjid he tells amir al mumineen tonight i want to break my

[25:55]fast with you amir al mumineen tells him the muslims are breaking

[26:00]their fast in the masjid why don't you break your fast with

[26:03]everyone else in the masjid he tells him no no i want

[26:06]to break my fast with you the man thinks that amir al

[26:09]mumineen is going to have a better dish he's going to have

[26:12]better food so he insists that he wants to eat with ali

[26:15]ibn abi talib amir al mumin tells him yes you wanna join

[26:19]me come and join me he takes him to his house he

[26:24]tells him sit down the man sits amir al muminin he takes

[26:28]out a bag that has a lock on it he opens the

[26:33]lock he takes out a piece of bread and he gives it

[26:37]to that man and he takes a piece of bread and he

[26:40]sits and he's ready to eat the man he comes he tries

[26:43]to eat from that piece of bread he sees it's so dry

[26:47]it's so hard so he breaks it with his knees and then

[26:52]he begins to eat and then he tells amir al mumineen oh

[26:56]amir al mumineen why are you hiding this in a bag that

[27:01]has a lock on it typically if you had a very good

[27:06]dish if you had if you had something something very good you

[27:10]would hide that and make sure that no one reaches it however

[27:16]why are you hiding this piece of bread it's a dry piece

[27:18]of bread why are you hiding it in there amir al mumineen

[27:22]tells him i hid it and i placed it in the lock

[27:26]so that my sons don't go and place some oil or some

[27:31]honey on that piece of bread to make it softer this is

[27:35]amir al mumineen a man who wants to live the life of

[27:39]the lowest person in his society under his leadership he does not

[27:45]want to live better than anyone else that is living under his

[27:50]leadership this is ali ibn abi talib this is amir al mu'mineen

[27:57]he established justice even with his own family even with the closest

[28:02]people to him he says he says by allah i would rather

[28:27]be tied up my hands and legs tied up and dragged in

[28:32]the desert in the middle of the night throughout the whole night

[28:36]be dragged in the desert and have all of the thorns of

[28:40]the desert go into my body penetrate my body oppress one person

[28:49]and i take away the rights of one person i would rather

[28:52]have that happen to me than oppressing one person and then he

[28:58]talks this is he talks about his brother aqeel amir al mumineen

[29:04]had an older brother by the name of aqeel aqeel he became

[29:09]blind at the end of his life and once amir al mumineen

[29:12]has the official power leadership aqeel he came to amir al mumineen

[29:18]and he tell him he tells him oh amir al mumineen give

[29:22]me some extra money give me some extra wealth some extra gold

[29:26]amir al mumineen tells him i can give you the same amount

[29:30]that i give everyone else i can't treat you differently aqeel keeps

[29:35]insisting and insisting and insisting amir al mumminin tells him oh akhil

[29:41]you want you want more money why don't you go and break

[29:45]the boxes they were standing above the market and the people they

[29:48]had a box where they would store their money in he tells

[29:51]him go and break that box and go and take whatever you

[29:55]want from it aqeel tells him oh amir al mumineen you're ordering

[29:59]me to steal amir al mumineen tells him no you're ordering me

[30:03]to steal you're telling me to steal from money that belongs to

[30:06]people this is not my money aqeel kept insisting and insisting until

[30:13]one day amir al mumineen he says aqeel kept insisting and he

[30:18]was blind so one day he came to me and i took

[30:22]a piece of metal an iron rod i placed placed it in

[30:26]the fire i burned it i made sure that it becomes very

[30:30]hot and then i come and i place it next to the

[30:34]body of aqeel aqeel his senses could feel the heat of course

[30:40]amir al mumineen did not burn him he did not touch him

[30:42]but he could feel the heat so he begins to cry he

[30:46]begins to shout what are you doing o ali you're trying to

[30:49]burn me amir al mumineen tells him no you're trying to burn

[30:54]me you're trying to burn me in the fire of hell you're

[30:59]trying to burn me in the fire that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[31:03]has prepared for the oppressors and you cannot tolerate a fire that

[31:08]humans have made in this life and you want to drag me

[31:11]to the fire that allah talks about on the day of judgment

[31:17]he says he says i see aqeel is poor but aqeel cannot

[31:35]be treated like everyone else aqeel cannot be treated better than anyone

[31:39]else even though he's the brother of amir al mumineen he says

[31:49]he thought i was going to sell my religion my values for

[31:53]him so i put a piece of a piece of metal on

[32:04]fire he says he yelled and then amir al mumineen tells him

[32:18]tells him this is amir al mumineen one day his daughter amir

[32:38]al mumineen has one of his younger daughters she goes he enters

[32:43]into the house and he sees that his daughter is wearing a

[32:47]necklace so he asked her where's this necklace from where did you

[32:52]get this necklace necklace from she tells him oh my dear father

[32:57]the day of eid is coming up i went and i borrowed

[33:01]this necklace from abu raffa abu raffa was the man who had

[33:05]the keys to the treasure to the treasury the muslim treasury at

[33:09]that time she says went and i borrowed i didn't take it

[33:13]i just borrowed this necklace just for the day of eid and

[33:17]then i'm going to put it back amir al mu'mineen he tells

[33:21]her go and put it back do you want me to be

[33:29]prolonged in my stance in front of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when

[33:34]i'm standing in front of allah azzawajal imran al mumineen implemented justice

[33:41]with himself and with everyone around him with people around him no

[33:47]one had seen a leader that leads in this just way in

[33:52]this form as soon as the caliphate came to him as soon

[33:57]as the official caliphate came to him amir al mumineen was distributing

[34:01]the wealth the muslim leader would distribute money and wealth to all

[34:06]the muslims and they would stand in line and then they would

[34:11]take their stipend they would take whatever they have and then they

[34:15]would go back a lady she comes to amir al mumineen an

[34:19]arab lady she comes to him she tells him oh amir al

[34:22]mumineen i think there was a mistake he tells her what happened

[34:25]she tells him you gave me the same amount that you gave

[34:29]the non arab lady you gave me the same amount that you

[34:34]gave the non arab lady why was she shocked she was shocked

[34:39]because the caliphs that came before amir and mumineen would differentiate between

[34:43]the arabs and the non arabs amir al mumineen he looks at

[34:47]her he tells her no i did not make a mistake i

[34:50]read the whole quran i didn't see anywhere in the quran where

[34:54]it says that an arab is better than a non arab i

[34:57]didn't see anywhere in the quran where it says one group is

[35:00]better than another group go you received exactly what you deserve this

[35:07]is the leadership of amir al mumineen this is the justice of

[35:10]ali ibn abi talib of course some people did not like the

[35:14]justice of amir al mumineen some people could not tolerate and stand

[35:19]the justice of ali ibn abi talib as soon as the khalafa

[35:23]came to him two of the companions of rasulallah they came to

[35:28]him they want to talk to him one by the name of

[35:31]talha and the other by the name of zubair these were known

[35:36]sahaba companions of rasulullah they come to him and they tell him

[35:42]o amir al mu'mineen we wanna talk to you he's standing in

[35:47]bayt al maal in the muslim treasury and he has a candle

[35:52]that is lit in front of him they tell him we wanna

[35:57]talk to you he tells them what do you wanna talk about

[36:00]is it a private matter or is it a public matter they

[36:03]tell him no it's a private matter as soon as they tell

[36:06]him it's a private matter he blows out the candle because the

[36:10]candle belongs to all muslims the candle that is burning it belongs

[36:15]to all muslims it does not belong for a private matter belongs

[36:20]for the public so they realize ali ibn abi talib was not

[36:25]like the ones who came before him they realize that amir al

[36:28]mumineen is different so they tell him we travel we want to

[36:36]go and perform umrah he tells them no instead you want to

[36:42]betray and this is exactly what happened some people they could not

[36:47]tolerate the justice of ali ibn abi talib so they left him

[36:51]they left him and a series of wars and battles were waged

[36:55]against him one of the reasons the battles were waged against him

[36:58]because amir al mumineen would not give in he would not compromise

[37:02]justice he would not compromise dihaq some people they came and they

[37:07]told ali ibn abi talib you know what why don't you just

[37:10]give maawiya leadership why don't you just go and come and give

[37:13]this person here and there but amir al mumineen was not willing

[37:17]to compromise justice for the sake of one criminal for the sake

[37:22]of one tyrant to be ruling and leading why did amir al

[37:29]mumineen do this why was amir al mumineen leading in such a

[37:33]way no one could come and bribe amir al mumineen no one

[37:37]could come and buy anything from amir al mumineen one day a

[37:43]man he comes amir al mumineen talks about this in najj al

[37:46]balaga a man comes and knocks on the door he opens the

[37:52]door and this man he brings a tray of sweets for ali

[37:56]ibn abi talib he brings a tray of sweets so amir al

[38:01]mumineen he tells him what is this is this sadaqa is this

[38:05]zakat is this something that's supposed to go to the poor because

[38:09]we the al baith we cannot take anything that goes to the

[38:13]poor it's haram for the al baith to take sadaqah it's haram

[38:17]for the al baith to take zakat the man tells him no

[38:21]this is a hadiya this is a gift this is a gift

[38:25]mumineen he says he says i tell him he tells me this

[38:30]is a gift i tell him why didn't you give me a

[38:34]gift when i did not have power when i didn't have authority

[38:37]you never came and gave a gift now that i have power

[38:40]you come and you want to give a gift take your gift

[38:43]and go take your gift and go and then he says he

[39:02]says you come and you wanna give me a tray of sweets

[39:05]if you were to give me the seven skies the seven heavens

[39:11]for me to take away a piece of grain from an ant

[39:16]unjustly i would not do that now you come and you wanna

[39:20]give me a tray of sweets if you give me the whole

[39:24]seven skies and the universe for me to take away a piece

[39:29]of grain from an ant i would not do that this was

[39:35]talib why why was amir al mumineen living in that way how

[39:41]did amir al mumineen establish justice in that way because amir al

[39:46]mumineen was the most knowledgeable because amir al mumineen was the most

[39:51]learned of the companions of rasulullah he was the most learned after

[39:57]rasulullah and when you have knowledge then you're not going to oppress

[40:03]you're not going to do injustice today would any sane person any

[40:09]normal person would they come and they take a bottle of poison

[40:13]and drink it would any sane person do that no why because

[40:19]everyone knows that the poison is going to harm you the poison

[40:23]is going to kill you we all know that however we fall

[40:29]into sins because we don't see consequences we don't realize we don't

[40:33]know the consequences the immediate consequence of sins we say that the

[40:39]imams the prophets are infallible how are they infallible is it that

[40:43]god is forcing them to be infallible god forces them to not

[40:47]sin no it's that they have the knowledge and therefore they see

[40:51]the consequences of their actions we don't see the consequences of haram

[40:56]we don't see the consequences of backbiting we don't see the consequences

[41:00]of sin therefore we fall into the sin if we were to

[41:03]see the consequence if we had the knowledge then we're not going

[41:07]to fall into the sins allah says in the quran if you

[41:19]had the knowledge of yaqeen if you had the knowledge of certainty

[41:23]you would be able to see the hellfire in front of you

[41:26]you would be able to see paradise in front of you we

[41:32]don't see it and therefore we don't see the consequences our knowledge

[41:37]is limited we don't see the consequences of our actions therefore we

[41:41]fall into sin amir al mu'mineen was the most knowledgeable amir al

[41:46]mu'mineen was the most knowledgeable after what rasulullah says about him i

[41:59]am the city of knowledge and ali is the gate to that

[42:04]city i am the city of wisdom and ali is the gate

[42:12]to that city he tells the muslims the most knowledgeable most learned

[42:17]of you is the most pious is ali ibn abi talib the

[42:22]most just of you is ali ibn abi talib it was because

[42:28]of his knowledge amir al mumineen established justice amir al mumineen ruled

[42:35]justly and he implemented justice on himself and on everyone else amir

[42:43]al mumineen his justice his intellectual genius is also something to look

[42:49]at something to focus on he would stand and he would say

[42:55]ask me before you lose me by allah i know the pathways

[43:09]into the heavens better than the pathways on earth he would tell

[43:14]them ask me ask me anything and the muslims they would come

[43:19]and they would ask amir al mumineen and he would rule justly

[43:23]he would sit in masjid al kufa and he would establish justice

[43:27]he would establish justice sometimes some they would use the justice and

[43:36]the piety of amir al mumineen against him one day a non

[43:40]muslim man he goes and he steals the armor of ali ibn

[43:44]abi talib amir al mumineen he leaves it the man he goes

[43:48]and he takes the armor of amir al mumineen so amir al

[43:52]mumineen tells him this is mine he tells him no it's in

[43:55]my hand therefore it's mine i have ownership i'm holding it right

[43:59]now therefore it's mine right now so they go to the judge

[44:04]of course amir al muminin he's the head of the government but

[44:07]he can't be the judge in this case they go to a

[44:10]different judge and the judge tells amir al muminin you're making a

[44:15]claim that this is yours because it's in his hand if some

[44:18]if someone has ownership if someone's holding on to something whoever's saying

[44:24]anything otherwise they're supposed to bring a proof amir al muminin did

[44:28]not have a proof that the armor belonged to him and the

[44:31]other man he was holding on to the armor the judge he

[44:36]asks amir al muminin bring a proof that this is yours has

[44:39]no proof the judge rules in favor of the other non muslim

[44:43]man he takes the armor but then the other man he realizes

[44:47]that this is ali ibn abi talib this is the leader of

[44:51]the muslim ummah at this time with a snap of a finger

[44:55]he could take away everything from that man but he chose not

[44:59]to so he comes to him he tells him muhammadan rasoolallah i

[45:10]bear witness that you are a just leader i bear witness that

[45:15]you are the rightful leader amir al mumineen he had the knowledge

[45:20]and his knowledge led him to implement and establish justice sometimes some

[45:27]they would come and they would ask him some very difficult questions

[45:32]very difficult matters that they could not solve one day a group

[45:37]of three brothers they come to amir al mumineen and they tell

[45:42]him we have 17 camels we have 17 camels one of us

[45:49]has half of them the other has one third and the other

[45:54]has one ninth so one of them has half one has one

[45:59]third and the other has one ninth and we don't want to

[46:02]kill any of the camels how are we supposed to solve this

[46:06]how are we supposed to deal with this amir al mu'mineen tells

[46:09]them i will solve it for you they tell him how where

[46:12]ever we went no one was able to solve this for us

[46:16]he tells them i have a camel i'm going to give you

[46:19]one of my camels now how many do you have they have

[46:24]18 now he tells him he tells them the one that has

[46:28]half takes nine and the one that has one third takes six

[46:34]and the one that has one ninth takes two you take nine

[46:40]plus six that's 15 plus two that's 17 he takes back his

[46:46]camel he takes back the camel that he had given them and

[46:50]he solves their issue for them he solves their dilemma for them

[46:53]and he takes back the camel that he had this is the

[46:57]intellectual genius of amir al mu'mineen and there are many examples of

[47:01]this many examples of the way he would establish justice and he

[47:06]would rule the narration says that he would rule and judge the

[47:10]way prophet dawud would judge meaning that he would see the reality

[47:16]right in front of him and he would be able to establish

[47:20]justice but of course amir al mumineen ali ibn abi talib he

[47:27]was the most just he was the most pious he was the

[47:31]bravest but one thing would break the heart of amir al mumineen

[47:37]one thing would shatter amir al mumineen what was that that was

[47:42]when he sees someone being oppressed when he sees someone being neglected

[47:48]and oppressed amir al mumineen could not tolerate it this man who

[47:53]was so brave this man who was so strong he can't see

[47:57]anyone being oppressed one day a lady she comes from yemen she

[48:03]comes all the way from yemen she comes to amir al mumineen

[48:07]she sees imam ali who was praying in the masjid he realizes

[48:11]that there's someone waiting for him someone wants to speak to him

[48:15]so he finishes his prayer quickly and he rushes to her he

[48:19]rushes to her he tells her what's your issue is there anything

[48:22]that you need now if it was anyone else they would have

[48:25]said you know what let me finish my prayer let me take

[48:28]my time who cares about this poor lady she came i don't

[48:32]know this lady no he rushes to her he goes to her

[48:36]he tells her what's the what's your issue she tells him the

[48:40]governor that you have appointed for us is oppressing us the governor

[48:44]that you have appointed for us is not dealing with us with

[48:47]equality he's not dealing with us justly he takes a piece of

[48:51]paper and he writes on the paper he writes something and then

[48:56]he gives it to her he tells her i want you to

[48:58]go and give the governor this piece of letter once you go

[49:02]back to him what did the letter say in it the letter

[49:06]says o fulan his name once you receive this letter then know

[49:11]that your role as governor has finished one lady she goes and

[49:17]she complains to amir al mumineen of an oppressive governor amir al

[49:22]mumineen he listens to her he listens to the oppressed he takes

[49:27]her and he lets her give the letter of the man order

[49:31]telling the man to resign from his position this is amir al

[49:35]mumineen of course amir al mumineen could not tolerate seeing orphans as

[49:43]a result of the battles and wars that were waged against him

[49:47]there were many orphans in kufa at that time he would begin

[49:51]to cry as soon as he sees orphans after the battle of

[49:57]saffin in that battle one of the closest friends to emir al

[50:01]mu'mineen and one of the first muslims and one of the best

[50:05]muslims was killed in that battle in the battle of sufin and

[50:09]that was amar ibn yasser and told amar oh amar you're going

[50:20]to be killed by the group that rebels and turns against islam

[50:27]in the battle ammar was killed in the battle of saffin by

[50:32]the army of muawiyah amir al mu'mineen after the battle finished he

[50:37]goes back to kufa and the first thing he does is that

[50:43]he goes to the home of ammar before going anywhere else he

[50:47]goes to the home of ammar and he sees his little orphans

[50:52]he sees his little children they're crying they had lost their father

[50:56]he sees them and this brave warrior this brave commander and hero

[51:02]of islam he collapses when he sees the orphans crying in front

[51:06]of him he begins to cry and he says he says nothing

[51:30]breaks my heart as much as when i see an orphan crying

[51:36]an orphan that has lost his or her father or mother this

[51:40]breaks my heart one of the closest companions to amir al mumineen

[51:47]and he was the man who would help and aid amir al

[51:50]mumineen in his life by the name of qambar this man qambar

[51:55]he relates to us some of the stories of the life of

[51:59]ali ibn abi talib amir al mumineen he says one day i

[52:03]was walking with amir al mumineen in the market and he saw

[52:08]a lady who was carrying a jug of water she was carrying

[52:13]a very heavy jug of water on her shoulders so the lady

[52:18]doesn't know who amir al mumminin is he comes and he tells

[52:21]her let me take this from you let me take this from

[52:24]you he comes and he takes that from her and he tells

[52:28]her where's your home she walks and she leads him to her

[52:32]home he goes and he places the jug the heavy jug inside

[52:38]the home she opens the door and he sees children crying he

[52:44]sees little children they're crying he tells her why are they crying

[52:49]she tells them she tells amir al mumineen these children are hungry

[52:54]these children don't have food he tells them why where's their father

[52:59]she tells him their father was killed in one of the battles

[53:03]fighting with ali ibn abi their father was killed in one of

[53:09]the battles fighting with ali ibn abi talib so amir al muminin

[53:13]he leaves gambar says he went to the market and he began

[53:17]to buy certain items he began to buy some meat he bought

[53:22]some some things to cook and then a while later he goes

[53:27]and he knocks on the door of that lady she opens the

[53:30]door she says who are you he says ana abdullah i am

[53:34]the servant of allah that was with you just a few moments

[53:37]ago she tells him what you want he tells her i have

[53:41]brought some food for these orphans she says you have brought food

[53:45]for my children may allah judge between me hungry and the strangers

[53:53]are helping my children ali he enters she tells him he tells

[54:00]her do you want me to cook the food or do you

[54:04]want me what do you want me to do i have brought

[54:06]the food for you she tells tells him him i will cook

[54:09]the food but you start the fire we have not started the

[54:13]fire in our home for many days now we're hungry we haven't

[54:16]cooked it's been a while we haven't cooked so amir al mumineen

[54:22]he goes and he starts the fire he starts the fire and

[54:27]once the fire is lit he would bring his body close to

[54:31]the fire and he would say to himself oh ali taste the

[54:42]heat of the fire because this is what happens to the ones

[54:46]who forget the orphans and the widows the lady of course doesn't

[54:51]know that this is amir al mumineen and qambar is related relaying

[54:55]the story to us he says once the fire was lit the

[54:59]lady she came and she started cooking and ali he goes to

[55:05]play with these children he goes and he begins to play with

[55:09]these orphans he gets on his knees and the children they come

[55:14]and they ride on the shoulders on the back of amir al

[55:16]mumineen this is the man who is ruling what is equivalent to

[55:21]50 countries today he goes and he cries and he plays with

[55:24]these orphans and then once the food was ready amir al mumineen

[55:31]he tells the lady let me feed these children let me place

[55:35]the bites of the food in their mouth so she comes and

[55:38]she gives him the tray he goes and he takes the food

[55:42]and each bite he gives places it in their mouth and he

[55:46]tells them say allah oh allah forgive ali ibn abi talib a

[55:55]lady comes and she tells her a lady a stranger another lady

[56:00]she comes she tells her what are you doing you've made the

[56:03]amir al mumineen you've made the leader be a servant in our

[56:06]in your house the lady realizes that this is amir al mumineen

[56:11]this is ali ibn abi talib who's serving her in her house

[56:16]this is how emir al mumineen was this is how the imams

[56:20]of the ahlul bayt were but emir al mumineen was known to

[56:24]be the father of the orphans the orphans that had lost their

[56:29]fathers they would not feel the pain because they would see and

[56:33]witness the love of ali ibn abi talib however on a night

[56:41]like this the orphans have no one to check up on them

[56:45]the orphans have no one to go and feed them because their

[56:49]imam the leader who used to feed them and provide for them

[56:54]is sick the leader who used to provide for them is injured

[56:58]in his home this night amir al mumineen he leads his prayer

[57:03]he prays while he's laying down he cannot stand in his prayer

[57:10]after he was attacked they come and they place him in his

[57:14]home he tells them take me to my home take me to

[57:18]my mehrab and they lay him in his place where he used

[57:22]to pray the doctor comes and checks up on amir al mumineen

[57:27]he checks on the on the injury that amir al mumineen sustained

[57:33]he looks at his head and he sees that the poison has

[57:37]seeped through the body of ali ibn abi talib because amir al

[57:41]mumineen was not only struck by the sword he was struck by

[57:45]a sword that was filled with poison and the poison began to

[57:49]seep through the body of amir al mumineen so the doctor he

[57:54]tells amir al mumineen o commander of the faithful say you're wasiyah

[57:59]say you're well because you're not going to survive this blow you're

[58:03]not going to survive this injury which you sustained he tells them

[58:08]the only thing which may soothe him which may take away some

[58:12]of the pain which may help him relax is some milk bring

[58:17]him some milk so they come and they bring a bowl of

[58:21]milk to amir al mu'mineen they bring him the bowl of milk

[58:26]he looks at the bowl he tells them take this milk to

[58:31]your prisoner referring to abdul rahman ibn muldjem take him give him

[58:36]some of the milk let him drink the milk what where do

[58:41]you find a leader like this where do you find a just

[58:44]leader like this the people in the city the orphans and the

[58:51]families they heard that amir al mumineen is dying ali ibn abi

[58:55]talib is losing his life and they heard that the only thing

[58:59]which may help him is some milk so the narrators they narrate

[59:04]they say that that day there was there were many orphans outside

[59:08]the door of ali ibn abi talib and they have bowls of

[59:12]milk in their hand they want to give their father ali ibn

[59:16]abi talib some milk they want to give him something which may

[59:21]help him ease his pain amir al mumineen was surrounded by his

[59:26]family he was surrounded by imam al hassan imam al hussain sayyid

[59:33]azainab and his children he began to say his he began to

[59:39]say his will he would tell them every single one of them

[59:44]what will happen to you he tells his son imam al hassan

[59:49]he tells him oh my dear son hassan you are looking at

[59:53]me right now and you are crying however there is going to

[59:58]come a day where you will be poisoned and you will die

[60:02]from the poison and then he looks at imam al hussain he

[60:09]tells him oh abba abdullah i see you crying for me however

[60:16]there's going to come a day in karabbalah where you will be

[60:22]all alone and the enemies are going to attack you from all

[60:27]sides he took he looks at sayyidah zaynab he tells her oh

[60:34]my dear daughter zainab be patient because the trials and the difficulties

[60:40]that you will see are going to be much more difficult than

[60:44]what you will see today yes that was the day zainab stood

[60:52]over the body of imam al hussain this time she was with

[60:57]her father amir al mutmeneen she has her brothers she has her

[61:01]siblings she has the whole family around her but there was a

[61:06]day when zainab she stood over the body of imam al hussain
