[0:54]haha jetty a little fella I mean Rajat even L Hassan al-amin

[1:03]illallah wa salli ala ali and Amir al-mumineen or a film or

[1:14]Celine Papa I didn't or will muhajireen well eh Wow yes he

[1:19]can Cobra whenever L darling today I'm here to share with you

[1:35]a few stories in favor fables from the life of Imam Ali

[1:40]alehissalaam and the aim is to rekindle our relationship with this great

[1:48]man when we get to know him better we will fall in

[1:59]love with him we will strengthen our bond with him and once

[2:04]this happens will embrace him follow him imitate him because it's all

[2:14]about love love is so powerful a lot of people talk about

[2:25]love but the difference between us and everyone else as we emphasize

[2:33]the importance of who to love love is not just an abstract

[2:45]notion or a hollow concept it has implications who to love how

[2:50]to love and what does it entail to love whom we should

[3:00]love why had a Dean in alphab well ball mom sadiq ali

[3:04]salam says it's all about love in kuntum to have borne a

[3:11]laugh at to be only you have called law if you love

[3:14]God then follow me as if when you love God then you

[3:23]will develop a relationship with His Messenger and then start to follow

[3:30]him but the question is we have no control over our hearts

[3:35]we can't direct our hearts to love or hate there are certain

[3:39]characteristics and traits if present in a person your your heart would

[3:49]would will all will automatically fall in love with that person this

[3:53]is why we're here today to speak about some of the features

[3:57]of amirul mumineen and if we were to introduce a mirror woman

[4:02]into the world everyone would fall in love with him the prophet

[4:10]sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in an authentic hadith when I say authentic

[4:16]I mean scholars spend years of their lives to filter out the

[4:26]weak non-authentic hadith and to establish the authenticity of a narration they

[4:33]study the chain of narrators one-by-one examine their lives who they were

[4:39]how they behaved who vouched for them before they say that this

[4:43]narration is authentic and that the chain of narrators are truthful people

[4:48]if there is someone that is not known in the chain of

[4:54]narrators no one has talked ill of that person no one has

[4:59]vouched for that person people wouldn't the scholars wouldn't take that hadith

[5:04]as an authentic hadith so that this hadith narrated by the Prophet

[5:09]is an authentic hadith and maybe this hadith is is a motivator

[5:18]hadith meaning so many people have narrated this hadith from different denominations

[5:22]different sects that it's literally impossible for them to come together and

[5:27]conspire to fabricate this hadith people from different backgrounds all walks of

[5:35]life they've narrated this hadith the Prophet said Ali in her Senate

[5:45]on lot of Obama hacia the love of Ali is a good

[5:51]character that would repel all the negative characters because once you love

[6:01]Ameer al-mumineen you'll embrace him one day Imam Ali Ali has Salam

[6:10]leaves his home in Kufa you probably know that a miracle Amin

[6:19]was based in Medina but after he assumed power he relocated to

[6:24]the city of Kufa back then the city of Kufa was just

[6:30]a province that belonged to the Muslim empire and it had a

[6:36]governor that was appointed by the Caliph so I'm hearing mommy moves

[6:40]to the city of Kufa but instead of moving to the Palace

[6:48]of the governor the city had a governor this governor had a

[6:53]palace he dwelled inside the palace and the people that have been

[6:59]to the holy city of Najaf and the holy city of Kufa

[7:01]and visited the Grand Mosque in Kufa you've probably seen that big

[7:11]spacious land adjacent to the mosque to the Grand Mosque of Kufa

[7:15]this was where the palace was now it's turned into a swamp

[7:22]amirul mumineen refused to dwell in the palace and instead he built

[7:27]himself a house from clay with his own hands a very modest

[7:32]house so the imam leaves his house and he's walking in the

[7:44]street without any bodyguards why even though many people hated amir in

[7:50]harmony he was a polarizing figure but not because he had wronged

[7:55]them not because he had done any injustice to them but for

[8:03]other reasons so even his enemies respected him while air a delta

[8:08]fatima an aunt you know why we see some politicians or ruler

[8:13]rulers there so heavily guarded because they've killed a lot of people

[8:18]and a murderer should expect to be murdered that's why we see

[8:26]in some countries their rulers they have a motorcade of a hundred

[8:33]cars all bulletproof people like Saddam used to travel with hundreds if

[8:39]not thousands of bodyguards and sometimes out of paranoia he would use

[8:43]a different route and ride another car in secrecy so that people

[8:49]wouldn't know that's him because chances are they might target his car

[8:53]because he has killed millions of people displaced millions of people he

[8:58]should expect that but with Amir al-mumineen he doesn't want any bodyguards

[9:04]because he's a just person he hasn't wronged anyone you might say

[9:10]that eventually he was assassinated yes he was and he told his

[9:14]his killer even imagine a cell Imam can't elect was I did

[9:21]I do any evil did I ever wronged you yeah I'm normal

[9:26]Jim he said if I enter to entitlement fin Aria Ali it's

[9:29]not because of you I'm going to hell anyway it's because of

[9:36]me I'm an evil person and I'm you know I mean used

[9:39]to wear modest clothes in fact when he entered the city of

[9:45]Kufa he was greeted by thousands of people back then the population

[9:49]of the city of Kufa was around 4 million people so they

[9:56]came to greet the new caliph the Imam came he delivered a

[10:00]very beautiful sermon he said yeah a little Kufa I am entering

[10:03]your city with only a garment that covers my the upper part

[10:10]of my body and a garment that covers the lower part of

[10:12]my body like two towels like a harem and my sir and

[10:17]my sword and my mule the one that I'm riding on if

[10:21]I left your city or departed departed this world with anything more

[10:25]than what I have right now what I possess right now right

[10:31]now consider me a traitor someone who has betrayed your trust he's

[10:34]setting a precedent for himself and for the people that would come

[10:41]after him and anyone that wants to preside and rule over the

[10:45]Muslim nation and look at the disparity between how Amir al-mumineen ruled

[10:51]and how people are ruling today you wouldn't find a ruler in

[10:54]any part of the world that was like Amir al-mumineen Adi sonam

[10:58]so just the radar and the Azhar and if someone comes to

[11:06]ask him a question and walk with Amir al-mumineen who would stop

[11:11]answer his question then would walk alone he doesn't want to walk

[11:15]with an entourage he doesn't want to feel like he's he's the

[11:23]ruler he's the president modest clothes modest shoes and wants to walk

[11:31]alone because he wants to be approachable he wants to be accessible

[11:37]he wants everyone the poorest subjects in his kingdom to be able

[11:47]to have access to him to approach him in fact he wanted

[11:51]the poor ones the people who had nowhere to go to be

[11:58]able to approach him to seek help from him they say that

[12:01]the commander the faithful every single day he would lead the congregational

[12:06]prayer public venue everyone was allowed to come to the mosque and

[12:11]after the salat fortitude Fedya he would spend some time doing taffy

[12:19]but until sunrise after sunrise all the people could come and ask

[12:24]him questions asking for help and a lot of beggars would come

[12:27]and beg him for money public access to Amir in Romani while

[12:35]in the world today the more important you get if you climb

[12:39]the ladder of success the harder it will be for people to

[12:45]have access to you to approach you but I mean what I

[12:48]mean wasn't like that he wouldn't wear anything intimidating he wouldn't walk

[12:53]with people so that people wouldn't be able to come and ask

[13:00]him questions absolutely not because he wouldn't rely on worldly factors he

[13:06]would rely on allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala one day the commander of the

[13:15]faithful met with someone people didn't know who that man was that

[13:19]man said to the Imam yeah Amir al-mumineen mah a senator although

[13:25]I learn er a little ah isn't it nice when rich people

[13:29]people affluent people who are wealthy would show humility towards poor people

[13:35]for Allah subhana WA Ta'ala isn't it nice a mutiny and said

[13:43]what's nicer and what's better is T wooden folk are all Allen

[13:48]Avni are ethical and Allah is when a poor person becomes arrogant

[13:58]when he or she sees a rich person because naturally we are

[14:04]dispositioned to respect people with wealth hey Bill Gates just came inside

[14:09]this hall everyone would get up everyone would respect Bill Gates because

[14:12]if he is wealth Amina Dominions says that if you're a poor

[14:17]person then you should be you should feel confident not in yourself

[14:23]because you don't have anything to rely on but rely on Allah

[14:28]subhana WA Ta'ala don't stand up for this rich person because if

[14:31]you stand up for him you're standing up for his money and

[14:36]his money is worthless have confidence in God so amirul mumineen wouldn't

[14:43]walk in the street arrogantly well.item she fell out of the Mallahan

[14:49]he was a walking talking or on some people they become confident

[14:54]relying on their degrees on their credentials on the position that they

[15:03]hold and that's wrong why because once this position is taken away

[15:12]from you once these credentials are there limb is taken away from

[15:15]you because this can happen you will lose all the respect because

[15:17]you relied on this for respect I remember there was a a

[15:22]minister in Iraq he was in nobody before he was appointed as

[15:30]a minister after he became a minister it became so arrogant he

[15:34]wouldn't walk alone even when it was safe to do so and

[15:39]when however he talked as if it was the ministry talking then

[15:45]after a while he was second I saw him and he seemed

[15:53]to me like a woman who was one Supre beautiful and she

[15:57]relied on her beauty now she's old and frail she she she

[16:01]feels ashamed of herself when she sees herself in the mirror he

[16:05]relied on his position now the position is gone so you rely

[16:11]on Allah subhana WA Ta'ala the confidence comes from Allah subhana WA

[16:16]Ta'ala never have confidence in your own strength because your own strength

[16:21]can fail you some beta nominees working the street when all of

[16:26]a sudden he sees a young lady who was was sitting on

[16:33]the side of the road and was crying brokenhearted crying young lady

[16:40]Amira nominee and himself goes towards that lady now Ameer al-mumineen had

[16:51]all the credentials and praises from whom from allah subhanaw taala from

[17:00]the prophet hundreds if not thousands of traditions praising a mere moment

[17:08]Ali Salaam so he wasn't expecting that woman or the people who

[17:12]were there to praise him in helping that lady absolutely not and

[17:16]he was the ultimate king the ultimate ruler of the Muslim world

[17:27]in the world today why do politicians your local MP or local

[17:32]congressman would help you because they expect you to vote for them

[17:35]in the neck selection that's why when you go when you visit

[17:40]them and ask them for help they first of all verify if

[17:47]you're a constituent if you can vote for them if you can't

[17:50]vote for them they tell you to go to the to the

[17:54]congressman of your of your district they wouldn't help you because they

[17:58]either do it for fame or they do it so that you

[18:02]would vote for them and by voting for them they get all

[18:03]the money they get all the fame they get all the media

[18:08]attention but when you help someone and not expect anything in return

[18:13]that's the best form of charity to help someone and not expect

[18:21]anything in return and that's something very difficult to do imagine you

[18:26]want to help someone like give him financial help when you give

[18:31]that money to them they are naturally disposition to like someone that

[18:37]helps them right so how about if you wire the fund secretly

[18:41]without knowing what the source of the money was it's very difficult

[18:47]because you're not getting any credit for it even if you're doing

[18:50]it for God but you still feel happy when they're happy and

[18:53]know that you gave them the money but if you do it

[18:57]in secrecy no one's good you made them happy but they won't

[19:03]know it was you so I mean momineen wasn't expecting anything because

[19:08]he wasn't in need of of her help sometimes you help someone

[19:15]and say to yourself that one day they might help me his

[19:18]father is an important person you know he belongs to a famous

[19:24]tribe they might help me if I help them but I'm here

[19:26]in momineen was the ultimate king and no one was able to

[19:30]bring him down because back then you pledged your allegiance to the

[19:34]khalifa that's it he doesn't expect anyone to vote for him because

[19:39]he doesn't need people's votes he approaches this woman and you know

[19:44]when a woman's heart is broken this is it turns out the

[19:53]the world the entire world becomes gloomy in her eyes and that's

[19:58]something a million more Maine understands maybe most men don't understand what

[20:03]women go through when their hearts are broken but amirul mumineen understands

[20:07]a young lady is crying why is she crying what made her

[20:15]cry so he has to go approached her and asked her for

[20:18]the reason why what makes her cry Oh Georgia duck the famous

[20:26]Christian writer he's not a Muslim he's written so many books about

[20:31]Ameer al-mumineen and in one of his books he says yeah Ameer

[20:35]al-mumineen I'm not a Shia but I love you and there's nothing

[20:39]that I could do about my love the love that I have

[20:45]towards you he says Ameer al-mumineen was like an ocean a notion

[20:50]that nothing and no one can shake praise he was a hero

[20:59]an ocean so big so huge so humongous that even if a

[21:03]mountain was to fall in it it wouldn't affect it wouldn't have

[21:10]any impact on it if a planet was to fall in in

[21:15]it it wouldn't have any impact on it but you know what

[21:18]sends shivers down amirul mumineen spine you know what you know what

[21:24]shakes Ameer al-mumineen and sent waves the size of a mountain within

[21:33]him when he sees a young woman crying when he sees an

[21:36]orphan crying Marta where to fish a in come out a wet

[21:43]little I can feel sorry you know what bothers me you know

[21:45]what irritates me when I see an orphan crying that's what bothers

[21:52]and you know what's paradoxical about this the fact that Amir al-mumineen

[21:58]had all these conflicting characteristics jomi I feel safe article of DA

[22:05]do well ha da as ethical and Dodger your unmatched because you

[22:11]had all these contradicting characteristics within you all these paradoxical traits Zoe

[22:30]you're a king your ascetic and you know what i setec is

[22:34]ascetic is a person that that abstains from complete and all forms

[22:42]of indulgence but at the same time you're a king and you

[22:45]know what it means to be a king if you're a king

[22:50]that means you indulge in all forms of pleasures in life Hakim

[22:59]on z'ha'dum Holyman Giugiaro you're brave you're courageous and at the same

[23:07]time you have forbearance when you're brave that means you vent your

[23:13]rage but you have forbearance you suppress your anger na sukham fat

[23:19]chicken you're a monkey a monkey is a person that spends the

[23:26]night worshiping God crying wailing begging Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to help

[23:32]him but you're also a warrior during the day you're a warrior

[23:37]you would tear your enemy apart and you're also a monkey Iran

[23:41]jo I do you're a poor person but at the same time

[23:51]you're extremely generous 40 on Oahu she Aman madjoe manaphy gradually capella

[23:57]has a myth flown by Badu you can have all these traits

[24:01]in one person so a mutant I mean that brave person who

[24:07]is a hawk when he is fighting he's a raging lion when

[24:10]he's in the battlefield when he sees a woman crying he can't

[24:15]stand he can't tolerate seeing the spectacle in the street he comes

[24:20]up to her and he says to her melody up Keke what

[24:25]makes you cry she said that I'm a maid I'm a servant

[24:31]and my masters told me to go and buy dates from the

[24:33]marketplace I went to the marketplace I bought dates I came back

[24:41]home they said that the quality of the dates isn't that good

[24:44]go and return it I went back to return it to the

[24:48]marketplace the guy who sold it to me said you can't return

[24:50]it you bought it for me that's it I came back home

[24:54]told my masters they kicked me out of the house what should

[25:00]I do now I mean he himself would say get up let's

[25:01]go to the mic a place together I mean mom you could

[25:05]have sent one of his soldiers he could have sent one of

[25:07]his children he could have sent one of his companions but he

[25:13]wants to bring reform on a cultural social level he himself has

[25:18]to go you know why he himself has to go for a

[25:25]reason you know what that reason is first of all he feels

[25:27]responsible for each and every one each and every citizen in his

[25:36]kingdom he's responsible for their welfare and secondly the hadith says men

[25:44]Safi Hodja tal min Kahn Allahu Allah AHA AG he all the

[25:51]yet emblem taqwa if someone is in need of your help to

[25:54]intervene to interfere to talk to someone and you help that person

[26:04]even if his wish is not granted even if his Hodja is

[26:08]not answered for example he tells you can you talk to your

[26:14]friend I want to propose to marry his daughter and because he's

[26:18]your friend you say ok you go and talk to him but

[26:24]that friend of yours Ridge - that guy it doesn't matter if

[26:30]this guy rejects him or not allah subhanaw taala himself would come

[26:33]to your rescue when you need help not someone ha ha ajeosshi

[26:41]alaikum me i'm a la allakum fella tamaño nam if someone comes

[26:45]up to you and he needs your help this is God blessing

[26:51]upon you don't reject God's blessing and also sometimes we say to

[26:58]ourselves someone tells me can you talk to this guy I say

[27:00]to him look I I have this respect I don't want to

[27:06]use it because I fear if I use this respect it will

[27:11]vanish people won't respect me anymore ironically the hadith says zakat or

[27:18]Jahi bethlo if you have respect people respect you the more you

[27:22]use it for other people Allah subhana WA Ta'ala will increase it

[27:27]will give you more respect will give you more this is out

[27:30]this is how it functions this is how Allah subhana WA Ta'ala

[27:34]operates my father says that the first time I met with Imam

[27:42]Musa Sadr in Lebanon he said I went to visit him in

[27:45]his office he sat on a chair and beside him there was

[27:51]a phone he said people approached him for their Hodja for their

[27:54]needs one man would come and he is in need of permanent

[27:58]residency in Lebanon he wouldn't hesitate takes the phone calls the general

[28:03]my friend will come and he needs from a residency another person

[28:07]needs help with respect to education he calls his contact in the

[28:13]education ministry someone is in need of another type of help he

[28:21]would do everything he can anything at his disposal he was all

[28:26]his friends all his contacts he said I came up to me

[28:30]I came up to him he didn't know me it was the

[28:32]first contact meeting that I ever had with a Muslim I said

[28:39]to him that I need to get a visa to go to

[28:43]Kuwait he said okay he wrote a letter to the Kuwaiti ambassador

[28:46]in Beirut I took the letter went to the embassy when the

[28:53]Ambassador realized that I have a letter from Imam Assad who is

[28:57]highly respected he himself came and he received me and he sat

[29:03]with me I said I have a letter from Sid Musa Sadr

[29:05]he opened the letter he said what do you need I said

[29:09]doesn't the letter mention what I need I said I need a

[29:13]visa he said knows Sayed Moses saw the wrote that see what

[29:15]this man needs help him and everything that he needs and Subhan

[29:19]Allah his respect there is the level of respect that he has

[29:24]in Lebanon during his lifetime and even after is enormous why is

[29:28]the cartoon Jahi bethlo never say no I have respect in the

[29:34]society I don't want to use that respect no never say that

[29:37]so I'm here and will mean himself would go with that lady

[29:42]Khan Allah Allah AAHA yg the hadith says that on the day

[29:44]of judgment people will be under the Sun will be very scorching

[29:49]the heat will be unbearable and the people that go and seek

[29:52]refuge in the shade of Allah and the shade of the throne

[29:57]of Allah will be saved and there is an area that nope

[30:01]no one can go unless you have helped your brother in faith

[30:04]in something in anything Semyon momi himself goes to the marketplace a

[30:11]lot of people didn't recognize the Menomonee because he wasn't there to

[30:17]be recognized and appreciated sometimes he would go to the marketplace to

[30:20]buy a shirt so he asks the seller do you know me

[30:26]did you recognize me shows yes see I'm young momineen so he

[30:28]wouldn't buy the shirt from him he goes to the second one

[30:32]did you recognize me yes he was - the third one did

[30:33]you recognize me no he would buy the shirt from him because

[30:36]he doesn't want to use his position for personal reasons for personal

[30:39]gains so he goes to that date seller the guy didn't recognize

[30:46]him he stalks him he said this lady she bought the dates

[30:49]for her superiors and they like the quality in that now they

[30:55]kicked kicked her out of the out of the house would you

[30:57]return the date he said I said no and it's none of

[31:03]your business and he punched the Imam in his chest pushing him

[31:08]away a mutant woman who is courage whose bravery is unmatched he

[31:18]could have broken that guy's neck he could have killed that guy

[31:23]in addition to all of that he has the respect of the

[31:31]society he's the ruler he's the king but he wasn't intimidated he

[31:35]wasn't enraged meaning that his fury and the war wasn't something natural

[31:45]he would do it for a loss of Hana wata'ala he wouldn't

[31:48]be enraged for personal reasons he wouldn't act on his in a

[31:56]pond his impulse they say that during the Battle of of hand

[32:00]up it was a very decisive battle amiran what man goes to

[32:05]fight someone who was able to take out one thousand armed men

[32:13]single-handedly I'm Rubino added armory amirul mumineen eventually was able to to

[32:19]sit on this guy's chest and finish him off when he sat

[32:22]on his chest and all the Muslims are observing closely because if

[32:27]something goes wrong you know I'll even everybody was killed this means

[32:30]ultimate defeat to all the Muslims that's why I wonder when the

[32:34]Imam went to the battlefield the prophet famously said the Roselli monokuma

[32:39]you call a Iman it's in its entirety is going to fight

[32:44]disbelief in its entirety if something happens to Iman if something happens

[32:49]I'll even have you thought it the Iman is finished so I'm

[32:52]here the nominee is sitting on his chest and all the Muslims

[32:56]are waiting for the Imam to kill the enemy combatant when all

[32:58]of a sudden the mom gets up and he starts to roam

[33:04]around the battlefield the Muslims couldn't believe their eyes what is are

[33:11]you doing and then moments later the Imam went and he finished

[33:15]him off when he came back and all the Muslims began to

[33:20]shout la la a la la kebab they meant to ultimate victory

[33:23]for Muslims the Muslim said ya Ali what did you do why
