[0:14]All [Music] slay.

[0:34][Music] Hussein, peace be upon you, oh my master, messenger of Allah.

[0:47]Peace be upon you and your pure, noble and oppressed family, the

[0:54]peace be upon you, oh my master, ohah, oh son of the

[1:00]messenger of Allah and the son of the commander of the faithful

[1:04]and the son of the though my body was not present in

[1:18]to answer your crying and call.

[1:18]Though my tongue could not speak in your defense, today my heart,

[1:25]my hearing, and my eyes have all responded to your call.

[1:28]Together we proclaim [Music] everyone.

[1:51]Hussein.

[1:54]This poem is from the voice of Muslim to his master Hussein.

[2:00]Oh Hussein, with tears I send my last farewell.

[2:05]My heart is a crushed by what your fate will tell.

[2:10]They broke their oath.

[2:14]They tore the sacred vow.

[2:16]Those who once wrote to you, they change somehow.

[2:19]Return my master.

[2:22]Turn away from them.

[2:23]Their swords are raised.

[2:27]They won't stay just or firm.

[2:30]They've set a trap.

[2:33]Deceit.

[2:34]Their only creed and peace for you is not what they now

[2:39]heed.

[2:38]So take from me a final parting sigh.

[2:45]My tears descent.

[2:44]apology runs dry.

[2:48]I weep not for myself but what will be when you fall

[2:52]he heless drowned in agony.

[2:56]They will swarm you soon surround your noble line.

[3:01]Your dearest ones no soul shall be left fine.

[3:06]Even your infant child will meet the blade.

[3:11]No mercy shown.

[3:10]No shadow or shade.

[3:14]I weep for you, oh Hussein, left alone with a scattered limbs

[3:19]and blood soaked flesh and bone.

[3:21]I weep for you when trampled on the sand as horses crush

[3:28]your ribs by wicked hands.

[3:29]I weep for you slain by the coward's sword, a blade that

[3:38]made the heavenly cry assured.

[3:38]I weep for Za walking without veil with ropes in sham.

[3:47]Each step a mournful trail.

[3:48]I weave for her hands in bondage tied as shimmers whip struck

[3:56]near her wounded side.

[3:58]Oh my master, my tears shall never cease.

[4:02]For your pain grants my soul no peace.

[4:06]Though I fell first and headless I now lie, I see your

[4:15]grief unfold before my eye.

[4:17]Peace be upon you my lineage until we meet in paradise beyond

[4:22]this pain and heat.

[4:27][Music] These were the emotions of Muslim before he martyed thinking about

[4:49]his master Hussein and how he can send the final message to

[4:53]Hussein to not come near Kufa to protect him and his family

[4:57]and children in the name of Allah the entirely merciful.

[5:01]the especially merciful, the one who has created and designed everything in

[5:04]the utmost perfection.

[5:06]The wise creator who created us for a reason and a purpose

[5:13]and guided us to benefit from the lessons of Muharam and the

[5:16]one who guided the steps of Imam Hussein to sacrifice himself in

[5:23]the land of Kbalah.

[5:25]So generations can be guided and inshallah they can join the ark

[5:32]of Hussein to understand the true message of Islam.

[5:35]Allahhana ta said in the Quran in the chapter verse 105 and

[5:42]we have already written in the psalms zabur after the previous reminder

[5:47]that the land will in be inherited by my righteous servants.

[5:52]So Allah is speaking about the ending of the story of mankind

[5:58]on this planet and the ending is positive is good.

[6:04]The good camp, the righteous camp, the good people, they will inherit

[6:10]this world.

[6:09]They will be inshallah the one who will be victorious at the

[6:15]end.

[6:16]Subhan Allah.

[6:16]In the old days, we always watched movies and we saw that

[6:21]the main characters and the heroes, they are the ones who get

[6:25]victory at the end.

[6:25]Nowadays, things are changing.

[6:28]But we always must have hope that the ending will be good.

[6:35]In other words, Allah already wrote the ending.

[6:41]We're just part of this story.

[6:42]Now whether we support the righteous camp and we put our fingertips

[6:47]in the wave that will give the righteous the victory at the

[6:54]end or unfortunately we can sit sidelines just observing and watching or

[6:58]god forbid we can be also on the wrong side.

[7:02]Now Allah promised us in the Quran that the righteous will inherit

[7:07]the world.

[7:08]So investing in the righteous camp is smarter because you trust Allahhana

[7:14]tala and you trust his promise that he gave us in the

[7:22]holy book the Quran.

[7:20]Now tonight we will explore a profound belief shared across world religions

[7:27]and civilizations.

[7:28]The promise of a divinely sent savior.

[7:31]This the concept of savior from where we brought it as shia

[7:37]that we always recite du anytime mahi's name mentioned we put our

[7:40]right hands on our heads and we ask for his reappearance all

[7:46]that belief came just from something written in all religious books now

[7:52]also inshallah we'll examine the universal human need for a divine reformer

[7:57]due to human limitations and the failure of worldly systems Second, how

[8:04]various religious scriptures including the Bible, the psalms, the Avesta, the Buddhist

[8:09]texts point to this awaited savior as well.

[8:13]Three, the Quranic vision and hadith traditions confirming that this promise is

[8:17]fulfilled in the person of Imam Mahi, the fir the final inheritor

[8:25]of divine guidance.

[8:24]Now when it comes to that across continents, languages, creeds, humanity has

[8:35]long anticipated a time when divine justice would replace tyranny and righteousness

[8:40]would trump over falsehood.

[8:44]A belief that affirms the doctrine of Imam Madi as not an

[8:49]isolated concept but a universal truth.

[8:53]Subhan Allah.

[8:56]Professor Muhammad Rizahimi writes, "The idea of a global reformer is a

[9:01]foundational belief among ancient civilizations.

[9:04]Despite the passage of centuries, we continue to find this belief echoed

[9:10]in their texts." And also another scholar who made he went deep

[9:17]in researching the concept of savior.

[9:18]He said futurism or belief in a messianic savior is well established

[9:28]in all Abrahamic faith.

[9:30]Judaism, Christianity in all its sects, Islam, Zoroastrianism, it has been deeply

[9:37]analyzed in the studies of comparative religion and scriptures.

[9:40]Now when it comes to that, what is the need?

[9:44]Why we have this need for a divine savior?

[9:48]Now just let me mention something.

[9:53]One of my teachers once said that for im mi to appear

[9:55]we need two main things or three one globalization.

[10:00]If the savior he has a universal message then we must have

[10:06]the technology to send his message all around the globe.

[10:12]Check we have this.

[10:12]Second, the people on this planet, they must yearn and request naturally

[10:18]from the sky to send a divine leader to lead us.

[10:25]So after we he hopeless that we don't have this mother country

[10:29]or this unified person that is able to actually run this world

[10:38]in a fair way, just way, peaceful way, then humans naturally will

[10:44]start requesting that from the sky.

[10:46]And third pillar for the Allah to send his savior is that

[10:51]the people in the world they must know who are the oppressed

[10:54]group because if Allah will make the oppressed inherit the world then

[10:58]the world must know first who are the oppressed groups.

[11:03]We hope that these three they are active now and inshallah we

[11:07]can hope that Allah subhana ta will send the savior soon.

[11:12]But first, why we need a savior?

[11:14]We have to believe in this.

[11:15]First, inherit a human imperfection.

[11:18]Can you trust a fellow human like you to be able to

[11:27]guide, discipline, purify, and be able to run a system of 8

[11:33]billion human beings on the face of the planet?

[11:33]Unfortunately, humans despite their knowledge and progress are intrinsically limited by ego,

[11:41]desires, and ignorance.

[11:41]the whim within.

[11:44]And Allah said in speaking about these limitations, he said you read

[11:52][Music] Allah said that Allah intends to lie in your burden.

[11:58]So he doesn't want to give you that responsibility to run the

[12:05]entire system globally.

[12:06]So Allah he for humankind was created weak.

[12:10]That's why he sent the prophets to guide us and to judge

[12:16]between us and to guide us at the social level.

[12:21]Imam Bakr Alisam said if people were left to themselves they would

[12:27]be destroyed.

[12:27]Second reason why we need a savior moral and ethical decline.

[12:32]Periods of widespread immortality in history have led religious community to expect

[12:38]a divine reformer.

[12:41]Islam teaches that at the end of times morality will degrade before

[12:45]the rise of the savior almati.

[12:47]Now I don't have to prove that.

[12:50]Open social media and you will see it.

[12:54]The earth will be filled with oppression and injustice.

[12:59]That's what the prophet said.

[13:00]Three, eradication of injustice and oppression.

[13:05]Go please examine the hearts of majority of mankind, Muslims and non-Muslims.

[13:12]Internally, we all want to eradicate injustice and oppression.

[13:17]Now when we saw the genocide for example in Middle East every

[13:23]heart Muslim non-Muslim agnostics atheists they all felt affected negatively and pressured

[13:31]because at the end of the day we are humans we feel

[13:37]for each other.

[13:37]Allah said in the Quran indeed Allah commands justice kindness and giving

[13:44]to relatives and forbids immortality wrongdoing and transgression.

[13:48]He admonishes you so they so you may take heed.

[13:51]When Allah said commands justice, kindness, giving to relatives, forbids immortality, wrongdoing

[13:58]and transgress, it means that Allah programmed us like that.

[14:01]Naturally we feel attracted to justice and we feel unattracted to injustice.

[14:10]Inah he said Allah made faith purity goodness beloved to your hearts

[14:18]and he made us feel disgusted and unattracted to what kufur ungratefulness

[14:27]openly sinning socially and disobedience.

[14:33]Now also in the hadith the mai will fill the earth with

[14:37]justice and fairness as it was filled with injustice and tyranny.

[14:41]Just think about this hadith.

[14:42]You will feel attracted to this person.

[14:45]For we need spiritual salvation beyond social justice.

[14:52]A human need spiritual deliverance.

[14:54]A divine savior that revives faith, removes spiritual veils and reconnect the

[15:01]hearts with Allahhana.

[15:02]Now some youth they always ask me why we feel disconnected these

[15:07]days or how we can for example connect to Allah in prayer.

[15:11]Trust me one of the reasons why we feel spiritually we are

[15:17]not being able to connect with Allah well because of how the

[15:20]world is acting at the social level.

[15:24]When people are sinning at socially, Muslims openly they commit sins these

[15:31]days without having any feel of regret or they feel in a

[15:37]way or another that they they feel shy or embarrassed from God's

[15:40]eye and when we scroll for example on social media and we

[15:47]see certain things that Allah is displeased with these things affect the

[15:50]heart.

[15:51]So when you want to stand before Allah in prayer, you will

[15:54]not feel connected.

[15:57]Five, fulfillment of prophecies.

[16:00]The coming of the savior is not a myth but a prophesized

[16:05]certainty in religious texts.

[16:05]Allah promised us when he said, "And we desire to show favor

[16:11]to those who were oppressed in the land and to make them

[16:13]leaders and to make them the inheritors." Allah promised us that in

[16:19]the Quran.

[16:22]Allah will fulfill always his promise.

[16:24]By the way, if you don't believe or you doubt that the

[16:29]world will end in a good way, then you have an issue

[16:34]with your beliefs in the Quran.

[16:35]We are always hopeful.

[16:39]Now in Christianity in Gospel of Matthew it was said that your

[16:46]kingdom come.

[16:47]Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

[16:53]The kingdom come came on earth as if it will be in

[17:01]heaven.

[17:02]Speaking about the how the world will end where we said in

[17:05]a pure good way.

[17:08]Inshallah.

[17:06]Judaism.

[17:07]It was mentioned the Lord will raise up a prophet like me

[17:14]from among your own people.

[17:16]And six, universal peace and harmony.

[17:21]We all know that there is no compulsion in religion and you

[17:23]can't force anyone and you need the savior to inspire the nations

[17:27]to accept his way of leading and running the world inshallah.

[17:35]Seven, restoration of divine order.

[17:36]You know the corruption in the land is happening because we're not

[17:41]obeying Allahh and we're not following his commands.

[17:44]Allah said in surah to verse 4041 corruption has appeared on land

[17:51]and sea.

[17:51]Subhan Allah.

[17:53]Allah did not say that corruption was founded or it started.

[17:59]He said it appeared.

[18:00]And there's a difference between corruption appearing versus corruption being there.

[18:06]The first crime happened in human history is when Kabil killed Habil.

[18:11]That's when corruption started.

[18:12]And before that, when Satan refused to prostrate before Adam, that's when

[18:18]corruption began.

[18:20]Now when Allah is saying that corruption appeared, meaning he's speaking about

[18:25]a different era.

[18:25]When Allah said corruption has appeared on the land and sea because

[18:31]of what people's hands have earned so that he may let them

[18:35]taste part of what they have done then perhaps they will return.

[18:39]Eight, we need a savior for hope and motivation for the oppressed

[18:46]because if we don't have that belief in our scriptures, we will

[18:51]feel hopeless and weak and we will not try to rise.

[18:56]We are rising because we believe in the concept of al- mai.

[18:59]Allahh said, "Oh servant who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair

[19:05]of the mercy of Allah." And part of the mercy of Allah

[19:10]is aliuhammed.

[19:14]Amen.

[19:16]Now they believe in the savior in the previous religions or nations,

[19:22]civilizations.

[19:24]From the book of Zor, he said a man will emerge from

[19:29]the land of the Arabs, great in head, body, and legs.

[19:36]Following the religion of his grandfather with a mighty army, he will

[19:40]fill the earth with justice.

[19:43]straightforward.

[19:43]From the Zen, it was mentioned that the divine will triumph over

[19:49]the demonic and the world will return to its original happiness.

[19:52]The son of Adam will sit on the throne of goodness.

[19:57]In Buddhism, Buddhists it was mentioned that they believe in the savior

[20:05]or their prophet is called the Metria.

[20:07]And the final one is the fifth one.

[20:10]And it was mentioned that he will descend to the earth in

[20:16]the future, attain perfect enlightenment and teach the pure dharma restoring peace

[20:22]and virtue to the world.

[20:23]Also in the ancient Greece, they said a holy line of rulers

[20:29]will come and rule the entire world.

[20:32]A king will rise in the east and fill the earth with

[20:38]peace.

[20:37]In the Chinese scriptures, we find lines saying as follows.

[20:43]Finally, the world will return to a man who loves God.

[20:48]He is one of God's sincere servants.

[20:52]Hinduism, they believe in the avadar khalki and they speak about that

[21:02]the world has four stages, ages they call yugas.

[21:06]And in the fourth and the final age, injustice, ignorance and evil

[21:12]dominate.

[21:11]And at the end of this era, they said, "Khalki, the 10th

[21:16]and the final avdar of Vishnu will descend riding a white horse

[21:20]and wielding a silver sword.

[21:25]He will approot injustice, establish virtue and dharma, and defeat the forces

[21:30]of darkness." So now we're talking about previous scripts and religions.

[21:34]Now when it comes to the people of the book in the

[21:40]Psalms of David Psalm 37:9 it was mentioned that the wicked are

[21:47]cut off but those who trust in the Lord shall inherit the

[21:53]earth.

[21:51]Also in the Torah in the Old Testament book of Isaiah it

[21:57]was mentioned that for as the lighting comes from the east and

[22:04]flashes to the west so will be the coming of the son

[22:06]of man.

[22:07]Son of man is the savior.

[22:09]Also Judaism in the Old Testament book of Daniel it was mentioned

[22:17]and behold with the clouds of heaven there came one like a

[22:20]son of man and to him was given dominion and glory and

[22:26]a kingdom that all peoples nations and languages should serve him and

[22:31]he will inshallah dominate over the world.

[22:34]Book of Genesis.

[22:36]The skeptorter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from

[22:41]between his feet until he comes to whom it belongs and the

[22:44]obedience of the nations is his.

[22:46]So he'll be obeyed by the nations.

[22:51]In Christianity, in revelation of John with the justice he judges and

[22:57]wages war on his rope and thigh he has a name written

[23:03]king of kings, lords of lords.

[23:05]And also in the gospel of Luke, and he shall reign over

[23:09]the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be

[23:13]no end.

[23:14]speaking about the final era where he will run until the judgment

[23:21]day inshallah.

[23:19]Gospel of Luke he said be dressed ready for service and keep

[23:28]your lamps burning like servants waiting for their master to return from

[23:32]a wedding banquet so that when he comes and knocks they can

[23:37]immediately open the door for him.

[23:39]So Christianity they are preparing for the arrival of their savior that

[23:45]he might appear any moment any hour any minute and unfortunately we

[23:50]see some shia they are lazy and they are not paving the

[23:53]way for the arrival of their savior.

[23:56]Now, Gospel of Matthew, he said, "As Jesus was sitting on the

[24:01]Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and they asked

[24:06]him, tell us, they said, when will this happen and what will

[24:10]be the sign of your coming a and of the end of

[24:15]the age, the end of the time?" Jesus answered, "Because of the

[24:19]increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

[24:24]The hearts of people will become hard and cold toward each other.

[24:30]But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved

[24:34]and the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole

[24:38]world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will

[24:47]come." Now the savior in Islam too much lines from the previous

[24:54]religions and the people of the book just for me to convince

[25:00]you that they believe in the savior is instilled in the hearts

[25:04]and the minds of all mankind.

[25:06]So now if Imal Mahi appear and Jesus prayed behind him in

[25:14]Jerusalem, the entire world will follow them.

[25:15]The issue is not with the people.

[25:18]Majority of people on this planet, they really want justice and peace.

[25:25]They want at the social level for people to love each other

[25:27]and care about each other and serve each other.

[25:31]the issue unfortunately with the governments and the politicians who's causing all

[25:37]that corruption and injustices in the lands.

[25:38]Now in Islam it was mentioned clearly Allah said in surah verse

[25:47]105 they want to extinguish Allah's light they want to remove Allah

[25:52]light with their mouth but Allah refuses except to perfect his light

[26:00]although the disbelievers will unlike that Allah will perfect his light.

[26:06]Another verse Allah said When I say wadah, Allah has promised and

[26:13]Allah will fulfill his promises.

[26:17]Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds that he

[26:22]will surely grant them success in were upon the earth and will

[26:27]surely establish for them the religion which he has preferred for them.

[26:31]So the religion of Allah, the true religion of Allah will be

[26:37]established globally.

[26:38]In surah TBA, Allah also said, "It is he who sent his

[26:44]messenger Muhammad peace be upon him and with guidance and the religion

[26:49]of truth to manifest it over all religions." So now Islam will

[26:56]become a global religion though the polytheists will dislike it.

[27:01]Now also we have this verse in the Quran Kharim.

[27:04]It's interpreted in the arrival of al- Mahi.

[27:08]It said, "And the earth will shine with the light of its

[27:15]Lord." By the way, uh we're not big fans of dreams, but

[27:17]we have visions that we believe in it, but I'm not usually

[27:24]I don't share dreams on podiums.

[27:25]But there is a very respected spiritual scholar who had a dream

[27:30]around two years ago before All that corruption started in the Middle

[27:37]East unfortunately that before all of that that a tornado is coming

[27:43]and that tornado will take four to five years.

[27:46]Yes, we don't put time for Allah to send his relief but

[27:54]just an idea to keep it in mind.

[27:57]And then after all the darkness came after the tornado, the sun

[28:00]shine over and they heard the verse and the earth will shine

[28:10]with the light of its lord.

[28:17]Also I imam narrates from the prophet the imams after me are

[28:25]12.

[28:26]The first it is you oh and the last is the who

[28:30]will conquer the east and the west of the earth.

[28:35]Also another hadith the mai is from my progeny.

[28:39]He will have an occultation during which nations will go astray.

[28:42]He will return with the treasures of the prophets and will fill

[28:47]the earth with justice and equiquity after it was filled with tyranny

[28:54]and oppression.

[28:54]Musni books hadith the hour will not be established until the earth

[29:01]is filled with tyranny and aggression.

[29:03]Then a man from my family will rise and fill it with

[29:08]the justice and peace.

[29:08]Also Abu D from Saladith the from my progeny from the descendants

[29:16]of Fatima.

[29:19]The world will not come to an end until a man from

[29:23]my family rules the Arabs also rejoice in the Mai and Musnet

[29:34]Ahmed I give you clad tidings of the Mai and it's mentioned

[29:38]is the Mi true he replied yes he's from the descendants of

[29:46]Fatima now after I just gave you an overview about texts and

[29:50]religious books Now, no one should doubt the existence of the savior.

[29:54]Whether he will born at the end of times like Sunnis believe

[29:59]or he's 1,191 years old as the Shia believe I will not

[30:04]go through why the imam must be present on earth in every

[30:08]era because prophet Muhammad we have narrations that the world will end

[30:11]if there is no proof on the face of the planet and

[30:15]the proof is ali now I want just to mention something from

[30:18]surah Bakar which I think these verses in surah Bakar will explain

[30:22]the reason why we were created.

[30:27]When Allahh said from the first beginning, I want to place a

[30:32]representative of mine on earth.

[30:32]Angels complained.

[30:34]They said, "Oh Allah, do you want to put on earth who

[30:36]will cause corruption and shed blood?

[30:39]And we are magnifying you, glorifying you, blessing you." He said, "I

[30:46]know what you don't know." Now, just stop here.

[30:48]He said that the angels complained about the social corruption.

[30:53]They didn't complain about the individual corruption.

[30:56]They didn't say you will put on earth who will lie or

[31:00]steal or cuss.

[31:00]They said you will put on earth who will shed blood and

[31:04]cause corruption at the social level.

[31:06]Now Allah said I know what you don't know.

[31:10]Then Allahh taught Adam.

[31:11]The names and then Adam presented these names to the angels.

[31:19]After Adam presented these names to the angels, the angels were asked

[31:24]and commanded by Allahh to prostrate to Adam.

[31:28]They all prostrated except who?

[31:31]Satan.

[31:33]He disobeyed Allah and he had pride and he rejected the command

[31:37]of Allahh.

[31:39]Also Satan requested from Allah just excuse me from frustrating to Adam

[31:43]and I will worship you in a way that no other creation

[31:45]worshiped you before.

[31:47]Allah told him, I want you to worship me like I want,

[31:49]not like you want.

[31:51]Now stop and let us pause and reflect on these verses.

[31:54]Allah taught Adam the names, the names of who?

[32:00]in he said that the names of the representatives that Allah will

[32:06]send on this planet to make sure that they are building humanity

[32:10]socially to reach to a level where justice and peace can be

[32:14]spread globally.

[32:17]Now prophets they were sent not just to guide me and tell

[32:21]me pray five times a day and fast in the month of

[32:26]Ramadan and go to pilgrimage once a lifetime.

[32:27]Prophets did not just they weren't sent just to guide me at

[32:31]the individual level to do and to and try to purify myself

[32:37]at the individual level.

[32:37]Prophets were sent to guide us communities, nations, civilizations, toward perfection and

[32:46]toward pleasing Allahh.

[32:47]And that's what we see in the story of prophet MS versus

[32:52]Pharaoh.

[32:53]We see it in the story of prophet Ysef.

[32:57]We see it in the story of prophet.

[32:57]Salman is an example in the Quran that if Allah subhana ta

[33:03]want to give his prophets ability and power to rule with force,

[33:07]he's able to do it in and it will be done.

[33:12]But the difference between us and the angels that Allah want us

[33:17]to do it willingly with our free will, free choice.

[33:24]It's not that Allah want to force us and he want to

[33:26]show the angels that they complained about the social corruption that the

[33:30]progress of the humanity will reach to a level where there is

[33:35]a generation will come and they will request justice and peace globally

[33:40]and I will give it to them.

[33:42]But that require what IM Hussein guided us to in his story

[33:48]of Kbala.

[33:47]Kbala is the engine, is the heart, is the fuel, is the

[33:52]fire that is keeping God's mission running.

[33:55]So if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will be able, sorry to to

[33:59]call it in this way, will be able to establish justice and

[34:03]peace globally.

[34:03]The story of Kerbala and Hussein guided that.

[34:06]It was the reason behind that when Imam Hussein said, "I want

[34:11]to reform the nation of my grandfather, the holy prophet Muhammad peace

[34:14]be upon him.

[34:16]I want to enjoy what is good, forbid what is evil.

[34:18]Im Hassam wasn't speaking about reforming the nation in that time.

[34:25]He said that my story, the sacrifices, the values that we extract

[34:29]from the story of will be able inshallah to reform every nation

[34:34]inshallah.

[34:34]But Satan is working in the social level.

[34:37]Satan knows that he will not waste time corrupting you, but he

[34:44]will corrupt the social system that you're living in.

[34:46]Even if you became a believer and you purified yourself and you

[34:52]walk on the straight path, but Satan will try to deceive your

[34:54]children and your grandchildren and your progeny.

[34:57]He will make sure that no one will be able to pave

[35:01]the way for the imam to arrive.

[35:03]There is do you see these signs of reappearance of the Imam?

[35:10]It's not that we should sit and just wait for it.

[35:11]We should go and try to apply it, activate it for the

[35:16]imam to arrive.

[35:19]And that's what the great scholars they were trying to do.

[35:21]All our marijah they were trying to do that.

[35:24]And we have role in the west when Allah subhana ta his

[35:29]will for the Muslims to spread around the continents because the world

[35:33]must hear about al- mahi before he arrives.

[35:36]The world must hear about the oppressed groups before the mahi arrives.

[35:42]And when the proof is completed and the entire world know the

[35:46]truth, then Allah inshallah will order the imam of his time to

[35:52]go to Mecca between the and the first statement that the imam

[35:56]of time will say is oh people of the world my grandfather

[35:59]Hussein they massacred and killed him thirsty.

[36:03]He will mention Hussein and alhamdulillah that we are the followers of

[36:10]Hussein because Hussein is a global image global character and you attending

[36:15]the malis of Im Hussein you're keeping that running inshallah that's why

[36:24]Muslim was the trusted ambassador of Hussein to Kufa.

[36:29]You know there's four reasons why Muslim did not succeed in Kufa.

[36:34]You know Im Hussein wasn't naive.

[36:37]He sent Muslim to Kufa before he because he received the messages

[36:42]and he was trying to confirm these messages to see if they

[36:46]were true.

[36:47]So Muslim went there and the people in Kufa pledge allegiance to

[36:50]Muslim.

[36:51]So what Muslim did he sent back a message to Im Hussein

[36:56]that kua is honest trustworthy and you can come safely.

[36:59]Muslim will never dare to put the imam of his time in

[37:04]danger.

[37:03]So when he had all these thousands pledging allegiance he said everything

[37:08]is fine until came to the castle after he was sent by

[37:14]Yazid himself.

[37:17]He was a person who had a mindset that he's able to

[37:26]deceive.

[37:24]He's a strong politician.

[37:28]He's able to put people down and deceive them and in a

[37:32]way affect people to go astray.

[37:35]Muslim sorry he planted um He was able to plant some spies

[37:52]to be able to hear what secretly Muslim and are discussing in

[37:55]the secret rooms and he was able to understand all their plan.

[37:59]So he called uh Han Iban Awa the right hand of Muslim

[38:04]in Kufa to his castle and when Hannah arrived Labniad he tortured

[38:12]Hanet and he was about to die.

[38:15]The tribe of Han came asking where is Hannah?

[38:20]He was late.

[38:20]Then Labnis had around tens of soldiers in his castle.

[38:24]He had just tens.

[38:27]If that tribe entered the castle, they will be able to remove

[38:30]Abednad and Imm Hussein will arrive safely and everything will move smoothly

[38:34]and Im Hussein will be able to spread justice and peace and

[38:37]take over.

[38:39]But Abed Nisad requested a judge.

[38:44]His name is Sherei.

[38:45]Sh was a credible personality.

[38:51]All people trust him.

[38:50]So sh told I will never lie to that tribe and tell

[38:57]them that Han is okay.

[38:57]So he told him in a way play with words see Han

[39:02]he's still alive go tell the tribe that he's fine and let

[39:06]them leave Han in my perspective the judge and that spy they

[39:16]cost those are two uh reasons why Muslim failed to accomplish his

[39:19]mission in Kufa we always just blame the people of Kufa directly

[39:22]true but there's reasons why Muslim failed So he went to the

[39:32]tribe and pushed them away.

[39:32]Delayed gave some time.

[39:38]Muslim realized the plan.

[39:38]He took the thousands of those individuals in Kufa that they pledge

[39:43]allegiance to Muslim and he marched outside the castle.

[39:47]How many soldiers Nizad had inside the castle?

[39:55]Tens.

[39:53]What Nizad did?

[39:55]He told them go behind the castle and go to the streets

[40:01]to the houses and start creating some sort of propaganda fake news

[40:05]that there is an army coming from Damascus of 50,000 soldier and

[40:09]they will kill all your men and they will take all the

[40:13]women captives.

[40:14]So women that caused exaggerated fear.

[40:18]They went to their men and every mother taking her son, every

[40:22]wife taking her husband.

[40:24]Now, Muslim was left alone.

[40:29]So, we have four reasons, the spies, the so-called judges, those unfortunately

[40:37]fake scholars, three media, for exaggerated fear.

[40:45]Muslim was left alone in the streets of Kufa and he was

[40:49]lost.

[40:50]Muslim, he had one concern.

[40:50]He just wanted to leave Kufa so he can send a message

[40:57]to Im Hussein that do not approach near.

[40:59]They betrayed us.

[41:01]They never relied on the enemies.

[41:06]They never had hope that the ones who hate Allah and religion

[41:11]will give them victory.

[41:12]They relied on their followers.

[41:14]If the followers betrayed, they will lead to the massacre of their

[41:20]im.

[41:21]if Imam Madi didn't appear yet because still he's testing us to

[41:26]see who will stand firm with him until the end like the

[41:30]72 companions that they subhan Allah showed loyalty to the Imam of

[41:36]our time.

[41:38]So Muslim found himself abandoned hunted and alone.

[41:43]He walked the streets of Kufa at night.

[41:46]His thoughts circling like a storm.

[41:49]Where could he go?

[41:49]which door would open.

[41:51]He wandered with a broken heart.

[41:54]Each corner pushed his soul apart and he looked for light but

[41:58]found no flame.

[42:01]A stranger now without a name.

[42:03]Eventually Muslim came upon a modest home where a woman named Tawa

[42:06]stood at the door.

[42:09]He asked her for water.

[42:11]She brought him some.

[42:10]But when she returned later, she saw him still standing there.

[42:18]You know, it's weird for a woman that she's uh alone that

[42:22]a man will be standing there near the house.

[42:25]Surprised, she said, "My son, don't stay at my doorstep.

[42:30]Women are not safe with strangers nearby.

[42:33]Go to your family.

[42:36]Go home before the night becomes heavy." But he remained silent.

[42:41]She insisted again and again.

[42:42]He did not reply.

[42:44]Then she looked closer.

[42:45]His face bore the signs of piety and sorrow.

[42:49]She said, "By God, oh servants of Allah, go in peace.

[42:52]You may not sit at my door.

[42:56]It's not proper for you." At that Muslim could not longer hold

[43:00]back.

[43:01]He said, "Forgive me, dear lady, for I'm lost.

[43:04]A stranger in the city without home, tribe, or host.

[43:06]Have you a place for a man alone?

[43:09]I seek shelter just till dawn." She replied, "And who are you

[43:16]that I should host you?" He answered with eyes heavy with tears.

[43:20]"You do not know me, but perhaps one day you'll see.

[43:25]I am Muslim, cousin of Hussein, entrusted with his plea.

[43:28]I came to Kufa with his trust in hand, and now betrayal

[43:35]grips this land." They promised faith, they swore support, but now I'm

[43:40]the exiled guest.

[43:42]They all report a gasped her heart cracked with compassion.

[43:44]She said, "Oh Muslim, you are the envoy of the oppressed.

[43:50]Come in.

[43:48]This house is yours and all it holds." She opened her door,

[43:54]not just her home, but her heart, her loyalty, and her fate.

[43:58]That night, Muslim did not sleep.

[44:00]He stood in prayer and his tears falling freely.

[44:03]He bowed and wept through every part.

[44:06]A stranger in a land that broke his heart.

[44:10]And before morning light had fully arrived.

[44:14]News reached the door.

[44:15]They had found him and his final trial was about to begin.

[44:21]After being offered that shelter, her son Bilal, he sent the news

[44:25]toad that Muslim is hiding in their home.

[44:29]Before they entered, he turned to Tawa with a full voice of

[44:34]dignity and sorrow.

[44:34]He said, "May Allah reward you for your kindness.

[44:38]You sheltered the grandson of the prophet's ambassador.

[44:42]I am forever in your debt.

[44:43]Then he stood kissed the door of the home that honored him

[44:46]and drew his sword, stepping out to face the soldiers of darkness.

[44:52]He shouted, "Oh soul, step forward to death with honor, for there

[44:56]is no escape from what God has decreed." He fought with ferocity

[45:00]and divine strength.

[45:02]He drove back the soldiers from the door, pushing them into a

[45:07]narrow alleys.

[45:08]He fought until his sword broke.

[45:10]He was pelted with stones.

[45:11]Burning wood was hurled at him.

[45:14]Spears and arrows tore through his body.

[45:17]Eventually they dug a pit, covered it with a thin layer of

[45:23]dust and Muslim fell into it while still fighting, wounded and bleeding.

[45:28]They surrounded him, pounced and finally took him captive.

[45:32]When they dragged him toward the palace, Muslim wept.

[45:36]A soldiers mocked him, telling him, "Are you crying now, oh Muslim?

[45:40]One who seeks what you saw does not weep at a time

[45:45]like this." Muslim replied, bleeding but unwavering.

[45:49]By God, I did not weep for myself.

[45:51]Nor do I fear death.

[45:52]But I weep for my master Hussein and his family who are

[45:57]now on their way to this land, trusting in the people who

[46:00]betrayed me.

[46:02]If they've done this to me, what they will do to my

[46:04]master, the son of the daughter of the messenger of God?

[46:09]They brought him to the governor palace.

[46:11]At the gate, he saw a chain container of water and asked

[46:17]for a drink.

[46:17]His thirst was unbearable.

[46:20]One man refused, another allowed him.

[46:22]He lifted the cup, but his blood from his wounded mouth filled

[46:26]it before he could drink.

[46:27]His teeth, his two front teeth fell into the cup.

[46:32]He dropped it and whispered, "If this water was written for me

[46:36]in my provision, I would have drank it.

[46:38]But I see I'm destined to share in the thirst of Hussein."

[46:44]They dragged him before Ziad.

[46:48]Muslim did not greet him.

[46:49]One of the guards said, "Why you don't salute the Amir?" Muslim

[46:52]turned and said, "He's not Amir of mine." Iben Zad sneered.

[46:59]Whether you salute or not, you will still be killed.

[47:02]Then the tyrant gave the order, "Take him to the top of

[47:07]the palace and strike his neck." As they took him up, Muslim

[47:09]was reciting and sending blessing upon the prophet and his family.

[47:16]At the edge of the roof, he turned his cheerful face toward

[47:18]the direction of Hij and saidd peace be upon you.

[47:34]They have betrayed me and I have been killed alone.

[47:39]Yahusain, I'm slain in Kufa's land.

[47:46]They sold me out, the ones who kissed my hand.

[47:50]They wrote to you and swore their aid, but left me to

[47:54]the swords they raised.

[47:57]They beat my face.

[47:57]They broke my ribs.

[48:01]And I now shall fall while you still ride.

[48:04]If this is what they do to me, what they will do

[48:07]when you arrive.

[48:09]As the people of Kufa gathered outside the palace of Adnizad, among

[48:12]them was the noble woman Tawa, anxious and trembling, asking, "What happened

[48:18]to the stranger is sheltered last night?" "What did you do to

[48:22]the guest of the prophet's family?" Suddenly from the top of the

[48:29]governor palace a horrifying sight.

[48:31]The severe head of Muslim was cast to the ground.

[48:34]The crowd gasped and before their shock had faded.

[48:39]His body was thrown after it.

[48:42]Lifeless blooded and broken.

[48:45]But they were not done.

[48:48]The soldiers dragged the body of Muslim and the body of his

[48:51]companion Haniba through the markets of Kufa.

[48:54]Tied with robes, humiliated in the front of the people until both

[49:02]were crucified upside down, dishonored before the sun had set.

[49:07]My heart melts for Muslim.

[49:12]How could they threw the ambassador of Hussein from the roof from

[49:17]the heights of honor to the dust below?

[49:20]They tied a rope and dragged him on the streets like a

[49:23]criminal.

[49:24]When the news reached Aba Abdullah of what happened to Muslim and

[49:32]Hannah, he wept.

[49:31]The tears would not stop.

[49:35]The Banu Hashim cried with him.

[49:37]The woman screamed and wailed.

[49:38]The ground beneath them trembled with grief.

[49:41]This was the first wound to pierce the chest of al Hussein.

[49:44]Then he sought to confirm the family of his martyed cousin.

[49:51]Among them was Lady Rukaya, Muslim's wife, his sister in pain.

[49:54]But there was one who could not understand the storm of sorrow.

[49:58]Little Hamida, the daughter of Muslim.

[50:01]Imam Hussein sat down and called her.

[50:06]He lifted her into his lap.

[50:09]He began stroking her her speaking softly.

[50:12]He wiped the tears from her eyes, but she looked up and

[50:15]sensed it.

[50:16]She said, "My dear uncle, why are you treating me like this?

[50:19]Why are you touching me the way one confforts an orphan?

[50:24]Where is my father?

[50:26]Why are your tears falling when you look at me?

[50:30]Why do you bend over when you hold me as if a

[50:36]weight presses your chest?" Then she stopped and whispered, "Uncle, has my

[50:41]father been killed.

[50:47][Music] Oh Allah, he send in the reappearance of the Imam of

[51:01]our time, the Savior that inshallah will appear to hold our hands

[51:04]and to fill your earth with justice and iniquity after it was

[51:10]filled with injustice and tyranny.

[51:12]Oh Allah, forgive and bless and shower your mercy upon our deceased

[51:17]ones, especially the scholars and the martyrs and the innocent.

[51:22]We send to their pure souls that the reward of chapter Muhamad

[51:27]Muhamad.
