[0:00]Muhammad Hussein did two things in karbala that were seemingly contradictory on

[0:24]the one hand the Imam kept telling his companions that they're absolved

[0:33]of their pledges of allegiance to him he said this to them

[0:43]collectively when he addressed them on the eve of Ashura he said

[0:51]use the darkness of the night to your advantage leave me alone

[0:58]these people are trying to get me and once they get a

[1:04]hold of me at the very least you'll be able to save

[1:06]your own lives they won't care about you and he said this

[1:14]to his companions on an individual basis as well multiple times he

[1:20]said it to the companion who had two children who had been

[1:25]captured by IBN Ziad so he made this point quite clear that

[1:30]you are absolved of your pledges of loyalty to me leave me

[1:40]alone on the other hand the Imam declared multiple times on the

[1:46]day of Ashura Allah is there no one to help us is

[2:03]there no one to support me is there no one to protect

[2:05]the sanctity of the women and the children of rasulullah how do

[2:10]you reconcile between these two things the Imam pushing his companions away

[2:17]prior to Ashura and then soliciting help and support on the day

[2:24]of Ashura the answer after some reflection is quite simple when the

[2:31]Imam was pushing his companions away telling them they should leave him

[2:39]they should abandon him the Imam was trying to filter out anyone

[2:44]whose intentions weren't pure who has doubts about his mission he's trying

[2:51]to weed out the ones that aren't quite up there with the

[2:59]rest of his companions with absolute loyalty so that if anybody remained

[3:04]in the camp of Imam al-hussein who wasn't certain about defending the

[3:12]Imam to the very last breath they would leave so we wouldn't

[3:19]have any deserters we wouldn't have anyone with their feet shaking on

[3:25]the day of Ashura he was trying to filter his companions to

[3:31]ensure that only the best of the best remained which is why

[3:37]when his sister zainab on the eve of Ashura addressed Imam and

[3:44]Hussain telling him are you sure about your companions will they stand

[3:49]with you tomorrow the Imam said I have tested them I have

[3:54]filtered them I've weeded out all the ones that could potentially abandon

[4:02]us and that's why the Imam famously declared foreign I don't know

[4:18]of any companions better than my own companions he's tested them he

[4:24]tried them so he's trying to weed out all the ones that

[4:29]are impure or the ones that are doubtful or the ones that

[4:33]don't have the resolve or the courage to face the day of

[4:37]Ashura in its magnitude whereas on the day of Ashura when the

[4:42]Imam was calling out for help and support the Imam is a

[4:49]reflection of the mercy of Allah are the names of Allah they

[4:56]are the attributes of Allah and so in his capacity as the

[5:03]reflection and expression of Divine Mercy Imam al-hussein is trying to see

[5:09]if there is any Soul still worth saving even among the camp

[5:16]of IBN Ziad he's trying to see if there is anybody still

[5:22]left with a modicum of faith and Humanity within him maybe just

[5:31]maybe there is someone else who needs that push in order to

[5:35]switch sides and join the camp of Imam Al Hussain so in

[5:39]both of those cases Imam al-hussein is trying to filter he's trying

[5:44]to examine and separate the good from the bad now why I

[5:51]said this is because for the last 10 nights we have been

[5:57]subjected to this filtration we have been exposed to Imam Hussain and

[6:04]his attempt to save our souls the Imam doesn't want anything from

[6:12]you and I the Imam doesn't benefit from us attending these gatherings

[6:15]he doesn't get anything out of us crying lamenting beating our chests

[6:22]and heads all of these things are so that we could answer

[6:27]his call and join his Ark of Salvation that's what an Ark

[6:34]of Salvation does there are those boats I don't know if you

[6:38]know about them or if you're you've heard of him of them

[6:39]but if you look them up on YouTube you'll find some clips

[6:46]of these organizations whose job is to go and find those refugees

[6:50]trying to cross the English Channel from France over to the UK

[6:56]that is a common route usually taken by refugees who want to

[7:01]reach the United Kingdom the English Channel is one of the most

[7:06]tumultuous Waters in the world it's one of the most dangerous treks

[7:10]and a lot of people end up drowning but then there are

[7:17]these organizations whose job is to defy the government and its laws

[7:21]and to go and find any Refugee who's in distress if they

[7:26]see a refugee boat that's about to capsize they hurry to them

[7:29]and they don't care who's on this boat they don't care about

[7:33]their nationality they don't care about their faith they don't care about

[7:37]their ethnicity all they care about is seeing these people who are

[7:41]in distress who need help and so they look they throw them

[7:44]a life raft they give them a Lifeline my dear brothers and

[7:52]sisters Imam al-hussein is our lifeline Imam al-hussein the reason we go

[7:59]through these Seasons this blessed incredible season of Salvation renewal Revival Rejuvenation

[8:06]the season of Muharram and Ashura God knows how many people have

[8:14]found their way back to Allah through Imam al-hussein by attending these

[8:20]majalis just here in this very imageless of ours I got to

[8:24]meet several people one of them is now a very dear friend

[8:29]of mine he's a Sabian mandaean he took me to the side

[8:32]he said look these stories that you've been telling from the pulpit

[8:41]I connect with them on the deepest level he said the story

[8:45]of qasim the story of and then he burst out in tears

[8:50]he started crying he's a savian I don't know if you know

[8:54]about this group but it's a religion that follows John the Baptist

[8:59]whenever I used to go to the shrine of Zakaria and What's

[9:05]called the umayyad mosque in Damascus I would greet him as such

[9:10]as the story is famous zakariah learned that the final messenger of

[9:20]Allah will have a son named Hussein who will be slaughtered he

[9:26]will be killed and so he said to Allah the Hadith says

[9:28]he took he went to his house for three days didn't come

[9:33]out for three days from sobbing and crying he couldn't speak to

[9:37]anyone then he said Ya Allah give me a boy give me

[9:42]a son who would be slaughtered just like Hussain so that I

[9:45]could share the grief of rasulullah and so Allah gave him zakariah

[9:53]whom the Quran speaks about in Splendid terms this young beautiful soul

[10:02]who would spend his days in prayer and crying from the fear

[10:07]of Allah and eventually he was murdered he was slaughtered by this

[10:14]Tyrant by this king who wanted to marry his own sister and

[10:19]ultimately was faced with Yahya telling him this is wrong forbidding the

[10:25]evil and eventually ended up killing him so this was the prayer

[10:33]of Zechariah this group of people the sabians the mandaeans who speak

[10:37]Aramaic which is the language of Isa alaihissalam a language that's very

[10:43]close to Arabic he came to the Muslims and he cried over

[10:48]the tragedy he lamented over the calamities a sister who has just

[10:55]become Muslim she was a Christian she also joined us here a

[10:58]brother who was an alawite is a volunteer in this Gathering there

[11:05]is something about Imam al-hussein that brings people in the most amazing

[11:10]manner people of different faiths different religions different backgrounds a few years

[11:15]ago I met this priest it was a Baptist priest from Seattle

[11:24]in the northwest of the United States I believe if I'm not

[11:30]mistaken or from Oregon rather the state of Oregon and very long

[11:34]story short we sat there on a panel and I didn't know

[11:39]why he was there because the topic of the panel was promoting

[11:42]Imam al-hussein in non-muslim countries in the Western World so I thought

[11:48]why is he sitting there when we're talking about how to promote

[11:52]Imam al-hussein so I grabbed the mic I was the first person

[11:55]to speak I said you know there's something about Imam al-hussein and

[11:58]Christians something about him that attracts the followers of Jesus Christ to

[12:07]him if you look at the Journey of Imam al-hussein his family

[12:11]the Christian monk who took the sacred head of saying with him

[12:15]all night long painted that picture and then the ambassador of yazid

[12:22]the ambassador to the Roman Empire to the court of yazid all

[12:25]these stories when you put them together and then when you look

[12:27]at the fact that so many Christians have discovered Islam through the

[12:33]Gateway of Hussain there is something about Imam al-hussein that's attracting all

[12:39]of these people and my theory is that when they see Imam

[12:45]Al Hussain they see the attributes of Jesus Christ personified in Hussain

[12:51]there's also another story about a group of Christian mercenaries who were

[12:57]sent to kill Imam al-hussein on the day of Ashura I don't

[13:00]want to get into that now but I said that they see

[13:04]Jesus and Hussein so this Christian priest who was sitting next to

[13:10]me he said could I have the mic please I thought he

[13:13]was going to take the mic and object and say look with

[13:17]all due respect Jesus is our we consider him to be divine

[13:20]we consider him to be a member of the Triune God and

[13:25]so any comparison with others that's what I thought he took the

[13:29]mic he said what this man just said is exactly what happened

[13:32]to me I didn't know Jesus his name is John shuck you

[13:38]can look him up he said I did not know Jesus until

[13:41]I went to karbala I discovered Jesus on the plains of karbala

[13:44]when I went to Arabian he even made a documentary about Imam

[13:51]al-hussein about the pilgrimage of arborin he said that's where I discovered

[13:56]Jesus and then he said you the followers of Imam Al Hussain

[13:59]you're a small minority you're persecuted you're oppressed but you have something

[14:05]no one else has you have a Priceless gem called Hussein that

[14:09]gives you invincible power you don't understand that you don't appreciate the

[14:15]power that Hussein brings you is here to save us how much

[14:24]we have appreciated that how much Advantage we've taken from that over

[14:32]the last 10 nights I don't know but whatever you've gained from

[14:40]Imam Al Hussain my suggestion to all of you my dear brothers

[14:46]and sisters is that whatever you've you've taken from him build on

[14:52]that in other words it's important to attend these gatherings it's imperative

[14:58]to Lament The Tragedy of Imam al-hussein but let that not be

[15:03]the last stop let that be the launching pad for greater objectives

[15:12]meaning that try and establish a connection with Imam Al Hussain that

[15:19]lasts throughout the year not just in the ten nights and do

[15:25]whatever you can have you seen these little girls those of you

[15:30]who have been know what I'm talking about and those are those

[15:33]of you who have not you don't know what you're missing out

[15:38]on you better make sure you go to ziara because it's something

[15:42]else right don't delay don't procrastinate do it as soon as you

[15:48]can and then you will be addicted to it trust me take

[15:50]my word for it so you'll see these little girls they have

[15:54]nothing to offer they come from these Villages they're poor their parents

[15:58]have already pulled their money to serve food to the zoo but

[16:03]they also want to contribute so what do they do they give

[16:06]out napkins they hold the Kleenex or they might give cups of

[16:14]water or they'd give toothpicks or whatever they can get a hold

[16:20]of Brothers and Sisters Let's contribute to the legacy of Imam al-hussein

[16:25]let's anchor our boat to his ship throughout the year find a

[16:28]way to do it I won't choose what you have to do

[16:33]I won't tell you you have to find a way to do

[16:38]this inshallah now martyrdom is a source of pride for the bait

[16:45]death is something they're used to it's not foreign to them it's

[16:51]not alien to them rasulullah famously declared that small every single one

[17:03]of us either gets killed in battle or gets poisoned and this

[17:09]includes rasulullah himself was martyred it was poisoned to death and so

[17:15]this is a household that's familiar with death and martyrdom Imam al-hussein

[17:23]himself declared Mal hayat barama death to me is a source of

[17:34]happiness if it happens With Honor if it happens in the service

[17:38]of Allah famously declared Allah for death more than a child an

[17:58]infant who yearns for his mother's breasts says I came to Imam

[18:09]Hussain he says you've been crying for 30 years isn't it time

[18:22]your grief subsides your pain goes away or decreases just a little

[18:31]bit is it a time you do that is it death habitual

[18:42]to you and martyrdom a source of Honor from Allah subhanahu wa

[18:46]ta'ala for you the Imam said to him [Music] I know what

[19:03]you're trying to do thank you may Allah bless you oh yeah

[19:41]has your eye ever seen or your ears ever heard foreign foreign

[20:32][Music] oh yeah I remember them running around in the deserts running

[21:03]from one tenth to another one burn down the tens of the

[21:20]oppressors that's what they were calling whenever I see them I remember

[21:28]that day in other words what happened to Abba abedin law was

[21:35]painful beyond measure but what happened after he was killed after the

[21:42]unthinkable what happened was even more painful the first thing is he

[21:58]called out I want ten Horsemen to volunteer they said to him

[22:07]what do you want to do he said I have orders from

[22:10]the commander that we trample upon their bodies so that we would

[22:21]leave no trace of them nothing would remain to be buried Ten

[22:27]Men came forward historians saying reporters on the battlefield said we looked

[22:38]at them every single one of them was a bastard child born

[22:44]out of wedlock they came forward with their horses said make sure

[22:54]their shoes are fresh and sharp make sure they're freshly fed he

[23:01]ordered the horses to trample upon the bodies and the companions of

[23:15]Jose when they were dying he then said turn the bodies over

[23:28]on their backs run over them one more time she said to

[23:57]him I can hear glass jars breaking what is happening Imam is

[24:04]a judge said by God those aren't glass jars those are the

[24:11]rib bones of my father foreign foreign [Music] [Applause] burned down their

[25:36]returns imagine what happens to these young girls seeing their tents on

[25:43]fire Allah [Music] one of them Muslim says I saw her dress

[25:55]had caught fire so I ran after her to try and put

[25:57]it out initially she thought I was there to ransack what she

[26:05]had to steal her possessions to take her hijab off so she

[26:09]ran and I ran behind her eventually I put out the fire

[26:17]she looked at me she said to him oh man have you

[26:24]ever read the Quran he said yes I have she said to

[26:26]me have you read the verse do our tree to the orphan

[26:37]with harshness he said yes I have she said to him I

[26:42]am the orphan of Hussain don't hurt me she says that as

[26:53]I was standing watching in shock as they attacked the women and

[26:58]the children one man caught me with his eye so he began

[27:05]running towards me as I ran away from him he used the

[27:13]back of his spear to poke me so I fell onto my

[27:19]face when I woke up I looked at him he came towards

[27:22]me he had seen my two earrings so he grabbed the earrings

[27:30]and pulled them off cutting my ears with them leaving the blood

[27:34]coming down my face and cheeks it was then that two things

[27:45]happened first the horse describes the scene for us he says yeah

[28:04][Music] [Music] imagine the women and the children they didn't know what

[28:45]had happened Allah they're waiting they're hoping suddenly the horse comes back

[28:52]and the saddle is tilted sideways head is lower to the ground

[29:02]they realize what had happened they surrounded the horse one of them

[29:07]went up to the horse saying tell me the name quenches thirst

[29:21]before they killed it foreign [Applause] they were done with the women

[29:33]and the children they then turned their attention to the body himself

[29:42][Music] had 1600 wounds on his body imagine what happens to a

[30:02]shirt which has withstood sixteen hundred stab wounds not a shirt a

[30:10]shirt doesn't remain anymore and yet they attacked his body they were

[30:15]trying to send a message to the women and the children that

[30:22]we will violate every sanctity you have they stole the shirt leaving

[30:29]him like so under the sun foreign [Applause] was wearing a ring

[30:43]instead of trying to pull out the ring he pulled out his

[30:51]dagger hello Muslim says the two boys went missing they were the

[31:26]two sons their father had been killed in battle they went looking

[31:39]for these two boys eventually ladies and have found them but how

[31:46]did she find them she went outside of the camp only to

[31:55]see these two boys had dug a small hole because the surface

[31:59]of the sand the surface of the desert is very hot so

[32:03]they had dug a little hole where it's damp but not a

[32:09]little cooler they had lifted their shirts they had put their bellies

[32:13]on the ground to feel just a little bit of coldness but

[32:56]told him do you want to kill these people or do you

[33:03]have something else you want to do with them he said no

[33:09]I have orders to humiliate them I want to parade them throughout

[33:14]the lands I want to take them to obey the happiness who

[33:18]has promised a big prize for anyone who does so so I

[33:25]don't want them dead no muslim says so I told him you
