[21:45]about a fight good versus evil i'll tell you how it starts
[21:55]and leave it to your heart to picture this equal as if
[22:02]they cut the grass snakes were emerging hussein had realized islam's about
[22:11]to die and needed purging chosen to bear his name to represent
[22:21]hosann come see her saint's choice muslim more than sufficed to be
[22:29]hosseins to eyes and be her sans voice kufa's men were writing
[22:39]to her saying reciting asking him to lead to cut off the
[22:45]snake's head is what their letter said and hussein agreed from amongst
[22:55]god's slaves he sent off the brave to let his flag wave
[23:01]o son of thee muslim departed to towards kufa to review the
[23:14]situation god knows what is your fate in kufa what awaits muslims
[23:23]companions were few he sons his sons he took were too so
[23:31]who can equal such bravery displayed put his sons in harm's way
[23:38]showing he's peaceful reached his destination welcomed by that nation but there
[23:49]was a scheme secretly they would plot and everything is not always
[24:00]as it seems to hosting heroes they gave you their vote and
[24:08]he sent his notes oh son of a three [Music] old friends
[24:17]become new foes they've broken all their oaths when they were writing
[24:23]letters towards hussein contained in them were claims they'd stand beside him
[24:32]two options now were dealt between heaven and hell come see what
[24:43]they chose come see what they chose they did not understand exchanged
[24:48]the good for bird a thorn for a rose they did not
[24:55]do justice they preach and don't practice they broke all their words
[25:03]oh hussain i bid you yes they heart that their hearts are
[25:09]with you but on you their swords muslim is in flames crying
[25:19]for her saying muslim is in flames crying for her saying [Music]
[25:35]now as you near your end lonely without a friend it is
[25:44]reminding me of how among hussein stood lonely on that plane i'm
[25:50]visualizing if you're selling your soul and allah is your goal you
[25:59]will be cherished but tell me what they're worth if your goal
[26:05]is this earth and earth will perish evil surrounds you now your
[26:13]children will be drowned you can't protect them but surely you must
[26:24]know allah will show their souls love and affection god accepts your
[26:31]giving and will be forgiven those who cry for you as your
[26:39]corpse was falling oh allah you're calling i attest to you never
[26:48]have you strayed yet you were betrayed yet you were betrayed oh
[26:57]son of a you'll take my words i'm muslim with no sword
[27:04]o muslim had [Music] this evening many will know sheikh from his
[27:53]time here in wessex jamaat when he was active in various youth
[27:55]activities since then sheikh has been studying in the hosa in the
[28:02]holy quran once again today please join me in welcoming [Music] oh
[28:34]foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Applause] is [Music] i respect his scholars
[30:13]elders brothers and sisters in islam there's so many verses in hadith
[30:20]about this topic that i don't know which one to take the
[30:23]topic i want to talk about today very shortly inshallah is important
[30:31]something very relevant something that applies to all of us brothers and
[30:35]sisters and this is related to or self-worth or there is that
[30:45]we have now you see as human beings irrespective of our faith
[30:52]we have a feeling we have a need inside us to feel
[30:59]important to be worthy to feel like we have a place in
[31:07]society to feel important as simple as that and we do things
[31:14]in our lives we're motivated to do things by this thirst that
[31:17]we have to be important in fact the opposite is also true
[31:23]that we don't like to be not appreciated not valued imagine if
[31:28]somebody that you really love and respect when they come to says
[31:33]they're not so important you feel devastated you feel very bad like
[31:41]you feel depressed why because you want to be important because you
[31:45]want to be worthy and valuable and so this thirst first is
[31:52]that this thirst for self-esteem is something very natural in all human
[31:58]beings it is discussed very much in today's world as well the
[32:02]discussion of self-esteem and self-confidence and how we compose and how we
[32:06]we are as individuals within society but the main question lies here
[32:15]and that is what gives us worth what gives us importance what
[32:24]makes us worthy individuals before i discuss this question i want to
[32:36]tell you what doesn't and to do this i want to discuss
[32:41]two very quick examples of how in today's world the corporate world
[32:47]is using this thirst that all of you over here and myself
[32:50]and all the sisters and all human beings have they're using this
[32:55]thirst for other purposes and what they are doing is that they
[32:58]are changing our understanding of what gives us worth and in consequence
[33:05]this has very detrimental effects in our lives especially mental health example
[33:15]number one is related to adverts in the world of consumerism adverts
[33:26]want to tell us what gives us worth why because they want
[33:31]you to buy their products so what they do is that they
[33:36]change your perception or what really matters in your life what really
[33:40]brings worth and value to you and they've come with this very
[33:47]key important matter and that is the more you consume the more
[33:52]worthy you are the more you consume the more worthy the more
[33:57]worthy you are they will tell you [Music] that if you buy
[34:05]this particular item this particular car or this particular watch you're worth
[34:11]it if you don't you've missed out you're not so important if
[34:17]you don't have this particular type of clothing or this particular gadget
[34:22]your value is very less and this is why when you get
[34:31]in a very beautiful porsche or lamborghini you feel important you feel
[34:37]special if you're driving a nissan micra for all due respect you
[34:40]don't feel so special why because we've been told the more you
[34:47]consume the more important you are and what's even worse is that
[34:53]we judge people according to this as well so when you see
[34:56]somebody coming out of a seven series for example dressed very partially
[35:03]with a 30 000 pound watch straight away you give him respect
[35:08]you trust him straightaway you trust him you respect him an honorable
[35:12]person but one day he meets somebody in a very simple quarter
[35:17]very decent simple you don't straightaway trust them you're actually looking for
[35:24]clues in when they say something how they react you're looking for
[35:27]clues of how important this person should i become friend with him
[35:31]shall i try more with him i'm not sure what's his worth
[35:36]what's his value can i trust him cannot trust him why what
[35:40]happened because the criteria is what the criteria's importance and value and
[35:44]worth comes with the more someone's consumed this is how we think
[35:54]in this materialistic consumerism world open and cook open happiness when a
[36:04]million dollar million pounds and you become happy throughout the day and
[36:09]these are research i'm not quoting random there's our research out there
[36:12]the studies out there you can see this how adverse today they
[36:17]impact how we perceive ourselves how we perceive the worth of the
[36:22]human being so this is one example another example is related to
[36:31]body image we're told that 50 of adverts use body image and
[36:41]beauty as product appeal what does this result in this results in
[36:45]again having a perception of what beauty is that if you have
[36:54]a particular type of physical body then this is what we count
[36:59]as beauty and this is what's going to give you respect and
[37:01]worth and value and make you happy so you're trained to think
[37:08]you've been influenced to think that this is what this is where
[37:12]beauty lies this is what defines human beauty and what defines human
[37:17]worth that if i don't have this i'm not worth it if
[37:22]i don't have this i don't have too much value that person
[37:27]who has it they have worth in fact and this is shown
[37:33]in so many studies out there that teenage depression teenage anxiety out
[37:38]there today is related to what is related to us or as
[37:45]teenagers seeing this ideal image which studies suggest that only one percent
[37:49]of a normal person is able to achieve that kind of body
[37:53]they feel depressed why do they feel depressed i'm not important why
[37:57]are not important because i haven't achieved this type of body and
[38:00]they do all sorts of crazy things why because i need to
[38:05]achieve that that's become my goal why because that's very important this
[38:08]is where wealth and value lies so you see these are two
[38:19]examples where we've been taught something we've been influenced to think in
[38:24]a particular way regarding what regarding the worth of the human being
[38:30]and studies have shown that this has very detrimental impact in our
[38:36]lives so question you asked me why why isn't this going to
[38:43]give human worth and value why isn't having a very beautiful car
[38:48]and dressing up very nicely and very importantly inviting all these things
[38:53]consuming this world isn't that going to give us worth why doesn't
[38:55]it give us worth and value to answer this question we need
[39:04]to know ourselves to answer this question point number two it's like
[39:10]you know i have a three-year-old daughter she's holding a big marker
[39:15]she goes in my office and she picks up a contract worth
[39:17]three million pounds and she just colors all over it you can
[39:21]say what are you doing do you know how much worth this
[39:28]do you know how much this is a worth 300 303 million
[39:30]pounds over here and she's like how am i supposed to know
[39:35]the problem is what the problem is that she doesn't understand the
[39:40]value of this us as human beings we're the same [Music] if
[39:44]we don't understand our true worth our true potential what really gives
[39:51]us value then we spoil ourselves we consume from this world not
[39:58]realizing that we're actually destroying ourselves we're not gaining anything it's like
[40:08]for example you know when you come to a very posh restaurant
[40:12]you go 20 000 20 different types of dishes three massive cakes
[40:16]ice cream everything in the moment enter your kids just run straight
[40:19]for the ice cream you know just stop stop you know it's
[40:22]the first restaurant like please behave like stop acting like greedy boys
[40:30]why because you want to tell me you know there's more to
[40:35]the world than this like you need to grow up be mature
[40:40]be there's more to this world than cake this is how we
[40:42]are towards this world as well our imam is telling us come
[40:45]down there's more things there's more valuable things for you than this
[40:49]world you are more important than this you are great in this
[40:55]this doesn't give you value the more you consume the more valuable
[40:59]you are is not a true equation why in very summary version
[41:05]the answer is because you are not a material being this is
[41:12]key when you understand yourself when you grow up from being a
[41:16]three-year-old girl who's gonna cut on everything or that little boy was
[41:21]running behind cake you grow up a little bit you become mature
[41:23]you understand your value you realize that i am not a material
[41:28]being i am enough aurora wherever you want whatever it is who
[41:37]really i am is something immaterial yes i'm interacting with you through
[41:43]this physical body but who i really am is something immaterial if
[41:48]that is the case then it is impossible for something material to
[41:51]give me value because it is lower than me simple the moment
[42:00]you realize that i am something immaterial i am something beyond space
[42:08]and time that it is not possible for me to find any
[42:12]worth in something that's lower than me it's not possible for it
[42:17]to give me and this is why we have so much emphasis
[42:22]on two things in islam one is that know yourself and to
[42:29]value yourself value yourself and the moment you value yourself the more
[42:35]you give worth to yourself the moment you build true self-esteem naturally
[42:40]one of the consequences is what that you'll feel this dunya as
[42:47]well as not worth anything says a person who has a crown
[42:55]for himself a person who values himself a person who gives worth
[42:58]to himself not that he doesn't have from this world high from
[43:06]this world have your big cars in your big houses very important
[43:10]it's not saying don't have it says don't give don't think that
[43:14]gives you worth islam never says don't have from this world yes
[43:23]drive very nice cars have a good job just know one thing
[43:29]that this never gives you worth this is not what's going to
[43:31]give you value don't think you're important because you have it there's
[43:35]greater things for you you are greater than this doesn't make a
[43:46]difference okay so question next question point number three is that okay
[43:51]what does that what gives me value you just mentioned that this
[43:55]world doesn't consuming this world doesn't give me value then what does
[43:59]what gives me worth and value what makes the human being valuable
[44:06]that you become the best of creation what gives you this only
[44:16]one thing and that is a relationship with allah the more faith
[44:24]we have the more iman we have the closer we get to
[44:29]allah the more worth the human being has and this subhanallah everybody
[44:35]understands even those who are so much engulfed in this world the
[44:43]moment they see a person who has established a true relation with
[44:48]allah they wish they had this because they know inside them the
[44:53]filter knows that true human worth is acquired only through the relation
[44:58]with allah let me give you an example once moravia comes to
[45:05]medina this is after the shahada of and others narrate this report
[45:12]they said that was brought to the in his company he says
[45:28][Music] describe to me so there are some like leave me alone
[45:35]please i'm not i don't describe it like excuse me don't mind
[45:38]there's no need and water insists mother says no i want you
[45:46]to describe me ali daniel dara says if there's no choice if
[45:53]i have no choice then listen to me and then goes on
[45:57]to describe ali and he picks that aspect of ali where he
[46:04]describes how beautiful his relationship with allah with allah and look what
[46:10]happens that he was far sighted he was foresighted strong eloquent in
[46:21]speech just when passing judgment and then he says by allah i
[46:27]swear to you i saw him in the darkness of the night
[46:30]in masjid when the stars were coming down this is the last
[46:34]part of the night he was in the mihrab his body was
[46:39]trembling and shaking as he was talking to allah and he was
[46:44]holding his beard and he was crying what was he saying he
[46:48]said as if it is as if i can hear him and
[46:51]he was saying is it me that you're trying to show yourself
[46:58]to and showing me your attractions go away worry go and deceive
[47:04]somebody else i have divorced you three times why um because your
[47:15]lifespan is very short your beauty and your goodness is unworthy says
[47:25]having this deep sigh on how little is my provision and how
[47:31]long is this journey this journey of eternity the day of judgement
[47:35]the sarat has 50 stations and each station you get stopped a
[47:39]hundred years a thousand years when you have account for your deeds
[47:42]one station after after the other border suffered how long is this
[47:48]journey of eternity and how little is my provision how little is
[47:53]my luggage and as it describes this beautiful scene of amir al-mu'min
[48:01]talking to allah his beard is wet he's wiping his tears with
[48:13]his sleeves and people around him are crying what happened they realized
[48:19]they know know this is worth they know this is the most
[48:23]amazing of people and what brought this amazement what makes ali islam
[48:31]the most amazing of people the dunya no namba says his sandals
[48:39]would he couldn't serve his sandals how much they were unworthy this
[48:46]is now we are approaching the days of muharram we are approaching
[48:54]the days when we remember imam hussain one of the very important
[48:57]topics that we can discuss that we remind ourselves in these days
[49:02]is related to the self-esteem is related to this essa of the
[49:12]nerves and so many steps in the story of karbala you find
[49:17]this that imam hussain stands for this word of the human being
[49:23]that i am ready to abandon everything that in sun acquires this
[49:32]worth some mankind doesn't forget that where are you going to get
[49:37]this is that you are not going to get this is a
[49:39]in this world by attaching yourself to this world wake up mankind
[49:48]once he delivers a speech saying that mankind is has a necklace
[49:58]called death that's how close it is it describes the wealth says
[50:02]look my situation is this right now that this person whatever it
[50:09]is he has brought me to a situation where i have true
[50:14]choice either i die or i acquire humiliation i am between death
[50:20]and villa and never will i acquire humiliation we as shares of
[50:32]ali we as people who remember imam hussain we say the same
[50:35]thing never should we be disgraced we have hazard we have dignity
[50:45]and honor and value and worth but know one thing that this
[50:54]is taken away if we are attached to this world if we
[51:00]abide by this philosophy of consumerism we attach ourselves to this world
[51:08]this world brings about zella look at your son you know don't
[51:11]take uh as a very small person he's not a small person
[51:15]he's looking for a commander to send an army to karbala um
[51:18]running away he's like i don't want to go i'm not interested
[51:22]to fight him i want to say he's a scholar he's a
[51:27]person who's understood things it takes a lot of bribing it takes
[51:31]a lot of threat for him to come to karbala even when
[51:33]it comes to karbala he wants to avoid this plenty of negotiations
[51:39]that happened but there is one thing he's attached to this world
[51:45]i can't let go and so when the imam tells him like
[51:51]look come on my side forget isaac forget the hereafter all that
[51:58]guaranteed i'll give you security i'll give you wealth he can't accept
[52:05]us he can't take it he's attached and so you realize that
[52:13]comes from where it comes from detachment again i repeat having is
[52:18]not the issue it is when we are attached and therefore when
[52:25]we look at the concept of isa in islam another very important
[52:30]concept that we find is freedom there's a very very interesting series
[52:36]of articles that we translated recently regarding freedom it's a very important
[52:42]topic we talk about freedom all the time today today's world freedom
[52:45]is a very big concept true freedom in islam is to be
[52:54]detached from the shackles of humiliation see freedom is what is true
[53:00]we all want to be free when i say you want to
[53:02]be free everybody wants to be free it's very natural for all
[53:04]human beings to be free just that is it is natural for
[53:10]human means to be honorable and have dignity this freedom and dignity
[53:14]comes together that which ties you down that which doesn't allow you
[53:20]to grow that which captures you and doesn't allow you to make
[53:31]the right decisions yes and this is why the dunya disgraces you
[53:39]this is why when you attach into this world you're very low
[53:43]and petty you have no worth you look around you you look
[53:50]at people who have so much attachment to this world to this
[53:54]world they have no worth what it takes for them to do
[53:58]something very important they can't they're not independent thinkers they're not free
[54:06]thinkers they can't make decisions they can't be honorable in this life
[54:13]why they can't sacrifice why because they're attached so what does this
[54:17]attachment do it brings you down it pulls you down and this
[54:23]is the message of karbala this is the message of imam hussain
[54:28]this is what he talks about another story over here for us
[54:34]is coming back from kufa and imam asks him tell me about
[54:36]the people of kufa and he says this famous sentence you've heard
[54:40]that their hearts are with you but their swords are against you
[54:43]and the mom says yes you what you're saying is correct people
[54:50]are servants of wealth what does that mean it means that they
[54:55]have attached themselves to wealth so much that they can't come out
[54:59]they can't be free they're servants they're slaves imagine if i told
[55:05]you today that you're a slave and your master is humiliating you
[55:10]you feel really bad slavery goes against dignity right we abolish slavery
[55:17]because of what because of human dignity but today you're a slave
[55:21]of wealth it means what it means that when you have to
[55:24]make a decision and be independent in your decision you can't oh
[55:28]my family my work my car my watch what happened i thought
[55:34]you're a free man no you're not a free man you're a
[55:40]slave of this world and i'm saying says i've come to karbala
[55:44]to save you from this shackles to free you these people who
[55:56]they're slaves of this world religion is just something that they talk
[56:01]about they come they pray they fast mom says no that as
[56:06]long as their bread and butter is secure religion is what they
[56:10]care about but the moment they're faced with difficulties very few are
[56:17]those who are religious true religious those who have achieved success those
[56:21]people have achieved true honor through dignity so to summarize before we
[56:27]move on to messiah we need to realize that the concept of
[56:30]self-esteem is very important is that enough is very important we need
[56:35]to raise our children we need to inculcate our youth and ourselves
[56:38]this idea that we need to be very honorable full of dignity
[56:43]full of importance this is not arrogance because we realize that this
[56:50]dignity this work this self-worth comes from word comes from our attachment
[56:53]to allah comes from faith comes from iman when we have this
[56:59]we're very full of worth and value and we need to be
[57:05]free free from the shackles and the slavery of this world because
[57:09]when it comes to making the right decisions if we are attached
[57:15]somewhere else then we won't be able to make decisions so our
[57:19]worth and our value and our self-esteem lies in one thing in
[57:24]our email assalaamu foreign we've gathered tonight on this evil friday such
[57:59]a beautiful day to remember the days of muharram are coming we
[58:09]prepare our hearts to remember imam al-hussein [Music] to bring our hearts
[58:18]back to life through the remembrance of karabakh remember tonight the children
