[0:00]the second member of the kisa the second imam of ahu bades

[0:05]the first to have made the prophet a grandfather inshaallah every single

[0:10]year ta'ala bismillah [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] foreign is [Music] victim to

[1:42]the multiple allegations leveled against him after making one of the most

[1:51]critical decisions within the history of the religion of islam tantamount to

[1:56]the very critical and dangerous decision that the holy prophet of islam

[2:01]a few years before had to make with his opposition indeed with

[2:07]this decision we were able to catch a glimpse of the political

[2:12]acumen of imam and which however he being all-knowing of these decisions

[2:22]and well understood the ramifications of what this will mean had a

[2:26]ripple effect with those surrounding the imam most definitely from the opposition

[2:32]from those who were neutral within their stance but particularly with the

[2:38]followers of the same imam they were very much confused we found

[2:43]many followers and companions of imam and mustafa questioned the decision making

[2:49]of this holy imam many of them went as far as to

[2:51]claim that by doing such he brought down the status and dignity

[2:57]of the ahludbait and there was a companion that had full audacity

[3:02]and he literally saw the imam and said to him the one

[3:10]who has brought shame to the muslims and this was one of

[3:13]his loyal followers and we see that the imam alayhi sallam has

[3:17]to deal with these circumstances which made it extremely easy for the

[3:23]multiple caliphates that would emerge afterwards from benue to benil abbas to

[3:29]find it super simple to come forth and say well your imam

[3:33]bought his way to peace who we believe is primarily responsible for

[3:45]having us assassinated our sixth imam of ahrun bait the founder of

[3:51]our method he abu jafar mansour he came forth and said al-hasan

[3:59]ibn ali was not a man he used those exact terms he

[4:02]was not a rajun he used exactly that terminology for he was

[4:07]given a sum of money as a result he relinquished his right

[4:12]as a khalifa for if he was genuinely a ardent scholar and

[4:17]a serious man he would have fought and we see this mindset

[4:21]leveled against imam and even after he had left this world towards

[4:26]his family one day a man came to imam assad and he

[4:32]literally brought this example an excuse he said to imam assad that

[4:35]you are reminding me a lot of your great uncle al-hasan why

[4:40]don't you be more like al-hussein and you have the resources that

[4:46]abdullah would have wished he had three thousand students and all of

[4:51]them say when they leave the masjid hadith you have a big

[4:56]disposal ready use it take it for your advantage while saying only

[4:59]had 72 you're reminding me of who was the pretext before he

[5:04]made that statement who did he say first imam al-hasan and this

[5:07]was being used as a default position if you decide not to

[5:11]raise arms you are more representative of the second imam more so

[5:18]than you were of the third imam and this couldn't be farther

[5:22]from the truth brothers and sisters but imam in has wisdom you

[5:26]and i may not know what goes behind the scenes when it

[5:31]comes to critical political decision-making but he definitely does but just because

[5:37]you have no idea why a person made a decision does not

[5:39]mean you have the right to immediately assume that it must have

[5:42]been for the worse assume that allah works in mysterious ways maybe

[5:47]there is something i don't understand the circumstances revolving around imam and

[5:52]much devas political acumen begin immediately as soon as imam amir al-mu'min

[6:00]was martyred you had such an arduous time period subhanallah very tumultuous

[6:08]in its hatred and venom and virtual muslims leaving islam khawarij turning

[6:15]against who they once pledged allegiance to you had one man calling

[6:19]for power in the greater levant region you have the other side

[6:22]of the world saying we disagree with you and these are all

[6:26]supposed to be muslims one man bringing about a sunnah to curse

[6:31]the other man he despises whereas the other man decides not to

[6:34]do the same and it's a very confusing moment imam and hasan

[6:37]inherited all of this of course the weeks before imam alibn was

[6:43]martyred you found him complaining as we see him standing in the

[6:51]street of kufa in the market of khufa with his hands to

[6:54]the samawat and all made mention he started to play pray to

[6:57]allah and pledge where are these companions of mine they've left i'm

[7:05]sick of this dunya i'm trying to tell these guys let's go

[7:09]and they don't want to listen in fact and this may come

[7:13]across brothers and sisters as i realize it might be a bit

[7:17]comprehensive because this requires a lot of detail and attention to his

[7:23]historic historiography and so the circumstances geopolitically play a very important role

[7:28]as to why our imam ended up being known as the imam

[7:34]that decided to make up the son of imam al-hasan to ali

[7:40]of primarily is the main reason many people know what imam hassan

[7:43]contributed to the message of islam he is beyond that but this

[7:48]is one component and what is known regarding this primarily is incorrect

[7:53]or filled and riddled with ambiguity or seriously overlooked and overshadowed by

[7:58]other concerns three-fourths of the muslim world by the way they have

[8:03]an entire interpretation when it comes to our interesting narrative we see

[8:09]many jump to a conclusion the reality requires a more in-depth analysis

[8:13]so if you're willing inshallah ta'ala this will take a geo-political glimpse

[8:18]today the discussion focuses on literally as will be the title in

[8:24]sha allah imam hassan's political acumen so let's look into this three

[8:29]weeks before he died he dispatched a letter do you guys like

[8:36]history he dispatched a lover to a man by the name of

[8:49]and he was a very influential person he was a lover of

[8:53]the ahmed bates as well his son was a serious lover of

[8:58]the adult praise in fact imam ali really liked this guy kais

[9:02]so he dispatched him imam is where in this time period these

[9:07]last four years of israel of his entire khilafah is in kufa

[9:11]he relocated the capital from medina to kufa he has that decision

[9:16]making he can have that william to do that if he likes

[9:18]he removes the islamic capital we are now in kufa this will

[9:23]be the center of my world on one hand you have the

[9:25]byzantium concern and threat you have to be near them you really

[9:30]need to be on the other hand you have the greater levant

[9:32]on the other side you have a situation known as an imam

[9:37]ali's words the sindhi region of what is now primarily the modern

[9:45]punjab area wrote a contract with them so you guys are from

[9:49]the far east i am dealing with a lot of headaches in

[9:54]the far west from the greater levant region the byzantium empire and

[9:58]sufyan of the greater levant you from the far east the punjab

[10:05]region the kings of that cinder area we notice in a time

[10:06]period of four and a half years not one war from the

[10:12]eastern empire not one war this is something very unprecedented not one

[10:17]battle all of imam ali's issues and headaches for a lack of

[10:22]better word came from the east these guys on the came from

[10:27]the west from the greater levant these guys from the east non-muslims

[10:30]never once they raise the sword against but then the guys from

[10:36]the west these individuals who are muslims many of them sahab constantly

[10:40]waging war and war and they claim to be muslims and so

[10:46]subhanallah give them to anyone from the world they will raise them

[10:53]to the highest levels of as possible give them to self-proclaimed muslims

[10:58]they'll make them either number four they'll fight them and say may

[11:03]allah be pleased with him and his killer and you find this

[11:06]really confusing mess until today people are so confused as to what

[11:09]happened and this was an inch jihad and this was his interpretation

[11:14]and for his interpretation it's totally justified because this is the claim

[11:20]that is leveled how else do you justify a man wanting to

[11:22]kill baabu medina you have to say he interpreted it as the

[11:30]right thing to do and this leads us back to another issue

[11:33]there was a situation where the third caliph was killed ambushed in

[11:40]his house imam ali lived in that same area you were the

[11:45]one responsible the wife of the prophet from mecca down south claimed

[11:47]imam ali was responsible of course these are all allegations to find

[11:51]and use the excuse to kill him as he is a major

[11:57]influential threat and so this went on the wars happened these wars

[12:01]happened they used this as a pretext a preliminary reason as to

[12:06]why we are fighting look we're not going to deny that you're

[12:08]the son of allah of the prophet we can't deny that we

[12:11]can't deny what we saw on we can't deny kisa we can't

[12:17]deny all these merits but it seems like you owe and you

[12:20]have blood on your hands so it's my ich dihad it's my

[12:25]reasoning is completely fed up these last three weeks he dispatches a

[12:29]letter to place as we mentioned his friend it's just confidence is

[12:38]not in medina or in the even in the arabian peninsula he

[12:42]is imam ali nabi representative in what is now modern day azerbaijan

[12:47]so north of that iranian region in persia he represents imam ali

[12:51]there is this i have 65 000 soldiers again brothers and sisters

[13:00]bear with us a comprehensive historic analysis i understand i might come

[13:05]across as rather to some geeky or boring but nonetheless it's very

[13:08]relevant as to why we have to give a better attention in

[13:13]an area that has been riddled with darkness regarding our imam and

[13:17]muslim 65 000 are with me you have a remaining 80 000.

[13:26]i will wait for you and we will merge and then we

[13:32]will finish because we have just finished the battle of naharuwan and

[13:36]before that the battle of safein let us merge merge your forces

[13:40]my forces do you know what the other side from the non-shia

[13:43]worldview likes to say that it was during the month of ramadan

[13:49]it was during the month of ramadan and you cannot fight in

[13:53]ramadan so that's why imam ali didn't fight okay didn't fight but

[13:55]he was still killed on ramadan someone fought him that's why miramoney

[13:58]in the 19th of ramadan was struck on the 21st of allah

[14:03]and so that that's not the case doesn't care ramadan whatever time

[14:07]it is it's not important there is an oppressor in this world

[14:11]and i am the imam and he is claiming to be an

[14:16]imam as well and he is oppressing others i don't have the

[14:20]forces 65 000 people you would think is a lot he says

[14:22]that's not enough i need more this is very relevant because what

[14:25]happens when imam ali dies imam hassan sees his numbers are a

[14:30]lot less but he still makes a very critical decision sixty five

[14:34]thousand he needs eighty thousand from place he's like i'm gonna wait

[14:36]for you azerbaijan until kufa is a long time it's about two

[14:42]weeks of quick journey and so he's waiting fais is literally on

[14:46]his way with these thousands of men allah so now what does

[14:53]christ do he's like i'm halfway there who is now the khalifa

[15:03]and made a speech this speech is one of the most important

[15:08]and vital speeches within the entire religion of islam entire without exaggeration

[15:12]bar none imam stands up after his father has been killed before

[15:18]he even buried imam he's in front of him and he's standing

[15:21]and he makes this big khutbahn sermon look at the sermon he

[15:33]addresses everyone because he was an imam for all of us and

[15:37]we have made ibrahim an imam for all of the world by

[15:42]virtue continues that message of the way of the embiya of rasool

[15:47]allah as we like to say in the beautiful ziyara salam they

[15:52]are the inheritors of that message and vision hanas today o man

[15:58]and womankind we have lost a man me would be to his

[16:06]left would be to his right he would safeguard the message of

[16:09]allah on the field no one would face him outside he would

[16:14]be the biggest slave to and today is no longer with us

[16:21]i am now continuing his path so if you want life then

[16:24]go away but if you want shahadaf then come with me let

[16:30]us continue what my father died on he waits for who is

[16:40]looks around and he sees that i have what my father didn't

[16:46]have now let's finish it off finish it it's done read the

[16:51]material by suhail zakkar and these are great historians so as a

[16:55]god he passed away recently around today although his circumstances are very

[17:01]difficult politically nonetheless these historians make mention that was waiting to die

[17:06]absolutely afraid because the reason why imam ali didn't get to sean

[17:13]was because he was waiting that which he was waiting for is

[17:20]now here and his son hassan has hold of it and muawiyah

[17:23]has seen imam hasan so many times and he's seen him even

[17:29]recently in safeine fighting so he knows what he's all about in

[17:32]fact imam and muchtaba would go in the fields to fight so

[17:36]extensively that imam has to announce oh people grab him him and

[17:50]his brother these two they're way way too far they're like by

[17:52]themselves you see when people i guess if you think of that

[17:54]circumstance and environment people keep together imam hasn't represented no they just

[17:59]keep going they went far and far and so imam wants to

[18:04]bring them back they're going way too far out so he knows

[18:10]what imam was all about now imam and hasland has full charge

[18:16]of all these men and horses and weapons and so forth is

[18:19]waiting to die absolutely afraid so what happens the treachery of betrayal

[18:28]kicks in domestic fear you cannot fight them on an international level

[18:33]you over here in the greater lovati over there in the arabian

[18:35]peninsula you can't fight them his forces are too much so what

[18:41]you do is you have to pay his men this is where

[18:42]the betrayal that imam hasn't witnessed brothers and sisters no one has

[18:48]seen betrayal like this and i would like to bring your attention

[18:50]to a very unique point the proportions of the armies pay attention

[18:58]to them they are exactly the same proportions proportions of imam and

[19:02]hussain against yazidi just watch what happens imam hassan has 60 plus

[19:09]65 000 plus the 80 000.

[19:11]has about 400 000 those are not the proportions yet starts bribing

[19:19]them goes he keeps a large number of men in kufa you

[19:23]can't take everyone out you have to protect the capital so it

[19:27]keeps about half of them there he sends a major amount to

[19:33]medina this is the second critical city so in total imam hasan

[19:37]has 12 thousand now twelve thousand is still a lot he continues

[19:40]even though you're talking about numbers he wants to face over four

[19:45]hundred thousand he says it's sufficient 12 000 let's go on his

[19:48]way imam al-hasan goes his general ahead of him three thousand of

[19:55]them he has three thousand with him and he has three thousand

[19:58]behind him and he also has three thousand surrounding them twelve thousand

[20:03]in total his general ahead of him by the name of his

[20:08]cousin by the way his cousin the uncle of the prophet his

[20:17]son so it's cousin he gets a letter from muawiyah because he's

[20:22]many miles ahead of imam says i will give you you ready

[20:28]for the number 1 million which is 10 million 1 million gold

[20:38]coins equivalent to 10 million silver coins in today's currency of gold

[20:43]coin let's say roughly about a thousand not a bad deal that's

[20:48]all big you won the lottery would you like the lottery or

[20:51]no he is exhausted from what imam in the last few weeks

[20:59]of his life he's just begging them let's go and they're complaining

[21:01]they would say our swords have been too much ya that hasn't

[21:07]we're exhausted we just finished suffering and now we did naharuwan you're

[21:10]telling us to continue says fine wait he could take 65 000.

[21:15]imam hasn't took 12 000 and there was enough but these guys

[21:17]are tired he wants fresh soldiers ready to go so he's waiting

[21:23]for pace again as we said now grace merges with his men

[21:26]obey the lord hassan's general ahead of them he looks at the

[21:29]snow he's like a million man i'm exhausted you know what he

[21:35]didn't just stop he took the three thousand he had with him

[21:39]all the way to muay aside they joined forces he bribed him

[21:45]bright and easy and the bible has a very interesting passage and

[21:49]i think it's thought-provoking the bible wealth is the source of all

[21:56]evil we may not necessarily agree with that on an islamic sense

[21:58]you could use wealth for many beautiful projects and endeavors allah says

[22:06]and a big family a lot of children is from the adornments

[22:11]of life the you see how we have beautiful adornments surrounding our

[22:15]environments and massages where and the message it to all the massages

[22:20]as well and zina is beautiful in allah when a movement and

[22:28]a believer beautifies themselves within the proper atmosphere and circumstances but in

[22:34]this situation wealth was used as a weapon against the bait the

[22:37]way the law says ah this is this is a good deal

[22:41]we'll join sides now imam hasan is down from 12 to 6

[22:48]000.

[22:46]it's enough imam hasn't seized 6 000 i'm good i'm still fine

[22:51]with it he betrayed i'm still good this is for all those

[22:55]who say that he never wanted to fight ha and that he

[23:01]was a passive imam whereas with his just 72 can face 30

[23:06]000.

[23:07]how about i show you 40 000 versus six thousand and the

[23:10]leader of the six says i'm still good sufficient that is true

[23:15]bravery subhanallah that is true direct jihad without any care and with

[23:21]conviction allah if he has my back i don't care but if

[23:23]allah doesn't have your back even if you have the entire world

[23:27]with you you're going to perish and imam knows that allah is

[23:30]always on his side so six thousand who cares let's go but

[23:33]then what happens another letter gets dispatched to the soldiers behind imam

[23:39]al-hasan so we said there are soldiers ahead they left soldiers behind

[23:43]they just got a letter this letter said the following it was

[23:47]a lie they lied they fabricated imam hasan's signature look cunning domestically

[23:53]you can't fight him one-on-one anymore so you have to from inside

[23:58]you make confusion this letter began like this this is a decision

[24:03]between muawiyah and hassan ibn ali they have now decided to concede

[24:07]no more conflict they are brothers and many of these wonderful ayat

[24:18]of we're not going to fight any longer in fact why would

[24:31]he do that he was so con had so much conviction he

[24:35]was so committed he was so determined now he just wants to

[24:38]give up that's not that's not a manly decision hence why later

[24:44]the like abu dhaf but these people took it and they spread

[24:53]that lie was given a few funds and he decided to make

[24:57]it an agreement he's not going to fight anymore so three thousand

[25:02]decide to go back to kufa so how many years a moment

[25:03]has to have his problem three twelve thousand dropped to six now

[25:09]three left now he's just three three thousand soldiers imam and much

[25:14]deva observes that it's just me and these three thousand let's pause

[25:18]right now because it's not looking good so they're in the north

[25:23]of you know what happens to imam and mushtava he decides to

[25:26]praise allah he gets down from the horse he stands up jama'a

[25:30]one man who was so frustrated how could you decide to stop

[25:36]fighting which was a big lie runs as imam alhassan is praying

[25:42]with the knife stabs our imam in removes this man a big

[25:52]storm happens people are now pushing and fighting from those who have

[25:59]left the way of allah let him be let him go he

[26:01]was misguided as these men have all been misguided betrayal from his

[26:09]own people then imam and muba is on a horse he gets

[26:12]on the horse he says but you know what we can still

[26:14]do this allah has us have you not remember did you not

[26:17]remember [Music] 313 from rasulullah against about 900 or odd members from

[26:28]quraysh that fought and islam won that day for good band 4

[26:36]000 and hawas and these are two tribes they joined to fight

[26:40]rasulullah four thousand and it came down to eight people eight people

[26:45]among them however and the quran said warriors you did not see

[26:51]them angels from allah came down as well imam al-hasan knows allah

[26:55]has his back so why are we worried i was just betrayed

[26:58]and i have only three thousand and they are going away and

[27:03]dispersing let's continue the proportions they are now way beyond 72 versus

[27:08]30 000 in karbala there are much less look at imam still

[27:13]consistent subhanallah he gets on his horse another man runs and with

[27:21]that knife stabs imam and hassan and he harms the imam at

[27:27]this moment imam mustafa was attacked too many times and from the

[27:30]horse he falls betrayed and these men some of them begin to

[27:35]ambush the imam imam is taken to a shelter stands and is

[27:42]among the few who guards hasan from the men over there and

[27:47]he is hurt he is severely wounded at this moment another notice

[27:53]from comes to imam al-hasan what can he do now his own

[27:56]men are betraying him what can he do a letter comes and

[28:02]he says i will now allow you to decide the following decision

[28:14]if you want life then stop this if you want death then

[28:19]continue at the bottom of this note you will see your own

[28:24]generals have signed that once you get to sean we will all

[28:30]betray you so he had many soldiers and top generals they signed

[28:34]a letter supposedly this either was fabricated of course many of them

[28:40]did betray imam and mustafa that when he actually makes it to

[28:42]we'll all turn around and betray him and not just you it

[28:47]says in that exact letter subhanallah you and your brother meaning imam

[28:51]hussain was with imam and hasan through thick and thin what do

[28:55]you think he would leave him alone through thick and thin imam

[28:58]and hussain and hasan are together but imam al-hasan is the imam

[29:02]not imam of course these are imams whether they are active in

[29:11]their leadership role or it's not their time to be active whether

[29:16]they are this or that you still obey them they're your imams

[29:18]like your harun and musa if moosa is the imam actively and

[29:23]harun is the inactive imam if harun still asks you for something

[29:27]on you there are imams but you notice who's getting attacked who's

[29:33]getting accusations because imam hussein is a servant to his older brother

[29:39]and love and imam and inspiration and i can only imagine the

[29:45]heart of allah seeing people attack his brother like this continuing and

[29:50]consisting yet seeing people betray him the letter is signed all of

[29:54]your generals have decided we'll give you to you and your brother

[29:57]so now what do you want to do imam al-hasan severely injured

[30:02]says give me the pen and paper there's nothing i can't do

[30:06]let me talk to him writes this letter back then by the

[30:11]way just a quick glimpse there was something called buried a sultan

[30:15]this would be a continuous link of fast horsemen and one man

[30:24]would take a day's journey continuing non-stopping this was how they would

[30:30]deliver messages from kufa to sham it would take one week to

[30:32]get there so the horse rider would run an entire day's journey

[30:37]very quick no stopping then get to the second tenant or another

[30:40]quick horse rider this would work for the government they called it

[30:44]barid a-sultan give him the letter and he would rush imam and

[30:47]mushtava is in the borders of what is now modern day surya

[30:53]bordering surya so the letter the darida sultan situation takes about two

[30:56]days or even one day so he writes this letter to give

[30:59]it to this guy the letter is the following that no we

[31:05]the inheritors of the message of the holy prophet of islam if

[31:09]it was given to us we would have changed this entire ummah

[31:13]but at the given moment even the ummah has turned its back

[31:19]on us now the decision is in your side what is it

[31:21]that you want and desire we haven't sent a letter back imam

[31:25]is waiting for this letter it gets to him after a couple

[31:29]of days and the following letter says this that has why do

[31:33]you want to be like your father how about you decide terms

[31:38]so who is saying i want you to make terms it's you

[31:45]decide what terms you want i will stand by them and now

[31:49]imam al-hassan looks at this as an opportunistic moment many say the

[31:54]following and this is not true they say that imam al-hassan gave

[31:57]up is his right from allah he can't give that up he

[32:04]gave up he gave up principality kingship and sovereignty and that political

[32:12]leadership he's still a khalifa from day one because what is the

[32:15]pattern of the holy quran the pattern is allah chooses constantly i

[32:27]mean at the end of the day we never pick who we

[32:31]want to represent god god has to pick who he wants to

[32:33]represent him it would be completely counterintuitive if let's say for example

[32:37]we decided to choose that's why even in modern presidential races the

[32:44]president is picked by the people but he picks his vice president

[32:45]i pick who i want to represent me what do you guys

[32:49]think you are i know i'm more competent i'm more qualified yes

[32:51]you pick me but i have to choose who i want representing

[32:55]me at the end of the day does it come from down

[33:02]up or up down up down allah has to choose even when

[33:04]there were no humans around allah still found the necessary i'm going

[33:08]to choose with your lord said to the angels i will bring

[33:25]down on the earth before any human in son was there he

[33:30]says i'm going to pick the first human and i will make

[33:34]him a khalifa of mine so we don't choose allah chooses so

[33:39]imam hasan cannot give away so what exactly did he give political

[33:43]decision-making i'm still a khalifa from allah and even the non-shia narrative

[33:51]says and acknowledges the same thing from those who love muhammad they

[33:57]say he is islam he is the first of the kings of

[34:01]islam so what are you trying to say is the first king

[34:04]of islam in islam do we have this concept of kings what's

[34:08]a king in islam we have these are ordained by allah what

[34:14]the heck is a king of islam because last i kings are

[34:16]those who sit on a lofty lavish throne will have multiple concubines

[34:20]and slaves and it's a horrible ruthless luxurious individual that wears the

[34:28]best of embroidery and gold jewel fine embedded clothing and so on

[34:31]and so that's a king even in he says you see this

[34:45]entire rule leadership to me it is less valuable than the broken

[34:48]sandal that i am trying to fix right now in another hadith

[34:53]than even the water under the nose of a goat subhanallah he

[34:56]has it so dirty that this entire leadership and being popular and

[35:02]famous and everything at your disposal and the money and everything there

[35:06]is there's nothing i'll give that up is my right i rule

[35:10]in the name of allah not you so this was what imam

[35:16]al-hasan gave up he is still a khalifa to the companions of

[35:20]ahlulbays around that time looks at imam hasan here and saying is

[35:36]politically in charge and by the way we saw this happen in

[35:40]the life of the holy prophet of islam where rasulullah would dispatch

[35:44]letters inviting people to islam who were kings when they would refuse

[35:50]what would rasulullah do no i have to be the king he

[35:52]never would do that he would say fine stay he acknowledged that

[35:58]you can be an existing presence of leadership while i am the

[36:02]hajjah of allah on earth so for example he sends a letter

[36:05]to us cyrus they call him patriarch of alexandria north africa and

[36:12]he says i invite you to the way of islam says you

[36:16]know i like islam but i can't accept it it's not right

[36:21]now i take decisions from the islam the caesar so i can't

[36:24]make a decision if he refuses and rasulullah sent a letter to

[36:29]faisal refused but i like islam rasulullah said fine be it be

[36:32]the way you are um the famous ethiopian king that gave refuge

[36:39]to the muslims when they made it to africa and the first

[36:42]glimpse of islam in africa and najashi received then rasulullah sent him

[36:46]a letter i invite you to the way of islam at first

[36:50]he said no does rasulullah say i can only be the powerful

[36:52]guy in town he said no you can stay leading in your

[36:56]own area and i will be the hug of allah on earth

[37:01]here not just here the entire world but you can be a

[37:03]leader and he didn't do anything with him imam hasn't did the

[37:05]same exact thing he allowed him to be a ruler while he

[37:24]remained the imam but what should have been the case in our

[37:28]narrative imam and hasan society should have understood his right and role

[37:33]and his status in the eyes of allah and make him be

[37:38]on top of all critical decision making every single critical decision making

[37:43]should be in his hands but society doesn't know what it has

[37:48]as we said the other day as you guys don't know what

[37:59]you have until it's lost so what does imam and mushroom do

[38:01]he begins to write the terms on his own case he's like

[38:06]look i will write these terms anyone who knows a thing or

[38:12]two about political science will tell you that the smartest decision is

[38:16]the one that is made on your terms not the other party

[38:21]you have a big critical decision to make globally if you can

[38:24]be the one that writes the terms so that you sign it

[38:27]you have the advantage imam and muslims political acumen reflected in this

[38:32]moment subhanallah he says i will tell you what i want you

[38:35]can stay ruling under these terms number one you have to be

[38:41]a person that lives by the sunnah of rasulullah and by the

[38:46]way of life and the way of life of the prophet and

[38:51]the quran he also and we see this by the way he

[38:52]also adds now does imam refer that came before him the first

[39:03]three no because the sunnah of the one contradicts the other the

[39:06]first khalifa was brought to power by ashura situation the second one

[39:12]was chosen by the first one so where's the sunnah it one

[39:15]contradicts the other so perhaps when imam al-hasan says could be in

[39:22]reference to the assad which he literally says me and my father

[39:27]or there's even a study scholastically that this was added added because

[39:34]if you try to look for the they call it the imam

[39:36]and hasan today in any book of narration you won't find it

[39:40]what you find are glimpses you don't find the whole entire thing

[39:43]why from how hard empires work years later to get rid of

[39:50]it because if you find all the pieces of the puzzle of

[39:54]the and you put it together you really see that the person

[39:56]with the shorter end of the stick is not imam hasan it's

[39:59]so people have tried their hardest to get rid of this in

[40:03]narrations in the study of ahadith may allah bless them for those

[40:07]who are present and rest their souls for those who have left

[40:09]they've compiled them finally so you don't have a single hazard that

[40:13]says the whole study so they combine it we found pieces here

[40:15]and there here and there and we see about roughly 16 points

[40:21]imam hasn't mixed the first one rule by the sunnah of the

[40:26]prophet and the quran and the way of the righteous leaders of

[40:29]allah because to your eyes khalifa means something but to us comes

[40:35]from number two stop number three there is a treasury in iran

[40:45]called [Music] this treasury has about one million dinar in it that

[40:53]you do not have control over he's thinking of the finances because

[40:58]we are going to need finances later ali will not stay true

[41:03]to these terms so from now i need to get the situation

[41:05]in my control financially he's going to say i agree to these

[41:10]terms but later on he will put more sanctions he's like that

[41:12]one give it to me look how that political argument look how

[41:15]intelligent that is subhanallah thinking ahead long-term thinking he has foresight subhanallah

[41:20]the way he thinks of it only ahu base can think like

[41:25]the subhanallah then fourth with respect to the sunnah of rasulullah stop

[41:31]innovating was done on thursday so many innovations emerge stop changing the

[41:37]way of the holy prophet of islam and be a good leader

[41:42]for the ummah particularly he adds one continuous emphasis the followers of

[41:48]the rebate lift your sanctions and embargoes on them then in big

[41:56]highlighted words if you and he was 70 years old imam al-hasan

[42:01]was 35.

[42:01]if you are going to die which naturally he will die 70

[42:06]he died when he was 78 eight years later so in a

[42:10]time period imam hasan's going to rule so he never gave up

[42:13]he says i'll postpone it is mine i will postpone being a

[42:20]political figure so that you continue so that i don't have any

[42:23]more supporters and get backstabbed again i will give up political decision

[42:28]making not because i still want my khalafa and political decision making

[42:33]after eight years later when you die if you're going to die

[42:36]i'm khalifah but if i die hussain is the khalifah deal muawiyah

[42:44]gets this letter he looks at it then he looks at his

[42:49]companion and he looks back at him and he says we'll say

[42:56]yes now by allah this agreement is beneath my feet for the

[43:03]next 10 years you saw this was year 40 when imam hiding

[43:07]was shahid all this happened in a span of weeks weeks my

[43:11]island just died a few weeks later the betrayal then the letters

[43:13]and then imam and hassan from his own shia is being belittled

[43:20]the greater levant everyone despises him could you imagine that everyone does

[43:27]not like him you're the one that made a deal with him

[43:29]you don't know the comment behind this decision-making for the next 10

[43:33]years you know what the blessings and the produce and the fruit

[43:39]of this gave us you know what it did he died by

[43:43]assassination in ten years not a single one not one was killed

[43:48]look at all the sahaba imam hiding when were they killed after

[43:53]died the year 51 after hijab all of these companions that were

[44:00]still alive if they didn't die by natural causes then they died

[44:06]by assassination 10 years later because in that span of 10 years

[44:09]what happened hasn't lived imam hasn't moved to medina stayed inshallah making

[44:18]political decision making no one was killed the embargo was lifted the

[44:21]money and resources were spent the shia could finally breathe and so

[44:27]people kept those guys that came to the imam and said to

[44:31]him peace be upon you oh the one who humiliates the meaning

[44:33]they don't realize that they go back and sleep comfortably and relaxing

[44:38]because imam hasn't saved their faces like that and they don't realize

[44:43]it and they're putting him down subhanallah for the next 10 years

[44:48]we will come to that night which is inshallah we will see

[44:52]you there for afghan safar 7 september 4th imam hussain is supposed

[45:00]to be the next khalifa it for the next 10 more years

[45:13]he doesn't fight what does he do he still lives by the

[45:15]agreements that he that his brother made with mahalia even though muawiyah

[45:20]has refused he's returned after him dies he's done the vida and

[45:29]innovations again he's killing the companions and the lovers of ahmedabad in

[45:35]addition to those who he found as a threat poisoned was a

[45:45]lover he poisoned him the first khalifa his son he killed him

[45:51]they asked them who do you think is the most just the

[45:56]right-worthy individual to be khalifah after me he hasn't executed he's a

[46:07]threat he wants yazid his son how else do you guys think

[46:11]he has him executed he is the third largest narrator in bukhari

[46:24]and muslim he has him killed and assassinated no one talks about

[46:31]this read the material of tariq scholar and his history read all

[46:37]this it's present as clear as deja subhan allah anyone he saw

[46:40]as a threat he got rid of through the act of poison

[46:43]imam hussain is meant to be the khalifa now refuses refuses imam

[46:47]hussain says you can refuse we are bound by allah stay firm

[46:53]to what you signed and agreed with in the 60th year after

[47:08]hijra then it's a different breed of person that comes around yazid

[47:15]was married to a lady by the name of hind bit abdullah

[47:22]bin ahmed her father had been killed imam ali nabi [Music] had

[47:41]a soft spot for her your father is gone and you're a

[47:45]woman by yourself by the way back then the circumstances were only

[47:48]labor intensive so if you wanted a life you have to physically

[47:52]work and it was difficult in arab for a lady back then

[47:54]to do anything but be a slave practically to have her living

[48:00]he brought her home to his house and he says you can

[48:03]be a servant here and what a servant that works on the

[48:05]home of amir mu'min this hand when imam amir meaning notice this

[48:11]was killed read wonderful beautiful book of the details regarding the life

[48:24]nuclear family of imam hasan hursein beautiful work she then went to

[48:31]the house of imam al-hasan as a servant there hasn't later on

[48:37]when the betrayal happened and the turmoil occurred heard of her and

[48:42]he heard that she has a nice quality she's obedient to allah

[48:46]she's a pious god-fearing lady and she's also very beautiful according to

[48:50]traditions and so when society betrayed the adult word went out and

[48:54]imam hasn't became friends and imam hasn't gave up effeminate frail wither
