[0:00]the love of lady zainab another loud salah so my dear brothers

[0:11]and sisters the focus of our discussion this evening is to examine

[0:15]the role of lady zainab salaam after the tragedy of karbala all

[0:21]of us are familiar to an extent with the role that she

[0:27]carried and how instrumental she was in preserving the legacy of imam

[0:32]hussein in tonight's discussion we'll focus on two very important roles that

[0:43]ladies and gentlemen number one is her defense for the imam of

[0:49]her time and how can we take this lesson today and implement

[0:53]it with the imam of our time secondly how lady zainab teaches

[1:02]us to combine courage and strength with chastity and what takeaway point

[1:06]can we all learn from especially the sisters before we do so

[1:12]i'd like to ask you a question why is it that imam

[1:17]hussain alaihissalam took his family his woman the children the woman of

[1:24]the family of the prophet to such a treacherous journey you wouldn't

[1:28]do that right imagine if you are a responsible father a family

[1:34]figure the head of a family and you're going on this dangerous

[1:38]journey why do you take children with you why do you take

[1:43]the woman with you and we know imam hussain al-islam is an

[1:46]infallible imam who acts by the guidance of allah subhanahu ta'ala so

[1:52]why did he take his family with him any thoughts sisters yes

[2:00]so they had a role to play allah wanted them to be

[2:05]there yes imam hussain's half-brother muhammad ibn hanafiya he had a half

[2:09]brother by the name of muhammad he stayed back in medina he

[2:14]did not go to karbala and he told imam hussain al-islam that

[2:18]this journey that you're embarking on is very dangerous the imam told

[2:25]him that you know it's my responsibility to go to karbala he

[2:29]told them okay that i understand why are you taking the woman

[2:33]the imam al-islam gave him that response that this is the will

[2:39]of god allah wants them to be there this is the will

[2:46]of allah that they should be there so sister what was that

[2:50]role in a few words basically imam hussain al-islam knew that he

[3:01]along with his companions would be massacred right so who would stay

[3:05]to tell the world what happened in karbala who would expose yazid

[3:11]and those tyrants the women and the children you know the stories

[3:14]that we have from the battle of karbala they're narrated by three

[3:20]main sources we have them from these three main sources one of

[3:24]them is journalists and reporters who attended there yes there were general

[3:30]journalists back then for instance hamid muslim you'll hear his name frequently

[3:36]mentioned in the maktals hamid muslim attended karbala and he saw everything

[3:42]but he did not go there to fight in fact he had

[3:46]an encounter with one of the daughters of imam hussein she told

[3:49]him are you with us or against us he said i'm neither

[3:53]with you or against you i'm just here observing hameed ibn muslim

[3:56]attended karbala just to document the events he would go and report

[4:01]what happened he was a journalist by today's standards so some of

[4:05]the information of what happened in karbala we take from who from

[4:12]those reporters who were there like hamid even muslim that's one source

[4:16]another source is the imams of albeit later imams of ahlil bay

[4:21]to have divine knowledge they told us about some events that happened

[4:25]in karbala whether it was imam jaina who were there they were

[4:33]eyewitnesses or later imams like with the knowledge of the unseen that

[4:37]allah had given him he would tell us about some events that

[4:40]happened in karbala that's the second source what's the third source the

[4:47]woman and the children the woman and the children actually informed the

[4:52]world what happened in karbala the umayyads wanted to censor everything that

[4:58]happened in karbala they didn't want people to know what happened so

[5:02]the woman and the children actually exposed them this was one reason

[5:07]why imam hussain alaihis took his family and children of course the

[5:11]other reason is he wanted to demonstrate that he's not rising for

[5:16]power or he did not have a personal agenda when you take

[5:19]your family you're sincere you're not pursuing power because if you are

[5:22]you wouldn't you wouldn't put your own family at risk so this

[5:26]was one very important reason why the imam took them and lady

[5:30]zainab salam beautifully demonstrates to us how this role was executed how

[5:36]she was the mouthpiece for the campaign of imam hussain she was

[5:41]basically the spokesperson and this leads us into our discussion tonight how

[5:47]lady zainab alaihissalam defended the imam of her time and what lesson

[5:53]we can draw from that after imam hussain islam was martyred who

[5:58]was the next imam imam lady zainab defended al-imam zayn al-abidin in

[6:08]two ways one of them one of the ways by which he

[6:15]defended the imam al-islam was physically coming to his defense instance there

[6:22]were two times when ali imam zainal abedin al-isram was almost killed

[6:27]she's the one who protected him the first one was in karbala

[6:31]right after the martyrdom of imam hussain when they burned the tents

[6:35]they sent they set them to fire shimmer was looking for imam

[6:43]zayn rahab so he entered the tent of alimony he was extremely

[6:47]ill lying on the ground there was a sheet that the imam

[6:51]was sleeping on shimmer comes and he violently pulls the sheet from

[6:56]under the imam and the imam is struggling with a sickness then

[7:02]he attacked takes out his sword and he's about to kill him

[7:06]when lady zainab salam sees that she rushes and she basically throws

[7:13]herself on al-imam zlinder abdi she tells him you have no right

[7:19]to kill him and you'll kill me before you kill him there

[7:23]was commotion the men got involved shiva what are you doing are

[7:25]you trying to kill a woman here this doesn't look good for

[7:31]us and basically he retreated see how lady zayn about islam physically

[7:34]tried to defend the imam of her time putting her own life

[7:40]at risk that was the first time one was the second time

[7:43]anyone remembers from the stories that happened after karbala yes brother we're

[7:52]talking about now imam abedin this is after post martyrdom of imam

[7:59]hussain anyone remembers so the second time is in kufa when she

[8:03]was in kufa in the courtyard of ibn ziyad the evil governor

[8:14]of kufa we find that ibn ziyad was not aware that imam

[8:18]zinil abedin was alive he didn't know that he was told that

[8:25]was killed now when he was told that which ali ibn al-hussein

[8:29]was being mentioned there ali akbar so when he met the family

[8:36]of imam hussain al-islam and he saw imam abedin he asked him

[8:42]who are you i wasn't expecting you know a young man to

[8:47]be here the imam al-salam told him he told him but hussain

[8:55]was killed by god look at it look at the words that

[9:00]he would use but i thought but i thought god killed ali

[9:04]ibn hussein imam zayn al-abidin responded he said i had a brother

[9:07]by the name of ali the people killed him ibn ziyad insisted

[9:16]on his very aggressive approach and he said no god killed him

[9:22]so imam said cited this verse in the holy quran allah is

[9:32]the one who takes the souls yes if he if he died

[9:36]he died by the will of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the people

[9:40]killed him but allah because he has a system of trials he

[9:44]allowed that to happen so when the imam cited this verse ibn

[9:47]ziyad became very angry and he told him how dare you reply

[9:54]to me and challenge me like that so he took out his

[9:58]sword and he wanted to kill al-imam this was the second time

[10:04]over here we find lady zainab salaam also rushing to save the

[10:10]imam she stood between them and she told them you have no

[10:12]right to kill him you kill me before you kill him and

[10:17]so she avoided that situation see how lady zainab salaam this woman

[10:22]who's lost her entire family her brothers her sons nephews cousins yet

[10:30]she has so much strength and she would put her life for

[10:37]the imam of her time this was the first way by which

[10:41]ladies and gentlemen defended the imam over time the second way the

[10:45]second way is really interesting my dear brothers and sisters yazid ibn

[10:50]ziyad had made an order that if anyone from the family of

[10:55]imam hussain would step up to leadership to imam to continue that

[11:02]imam a legacy kill him so they were monitoring imam zindal and

[11:07]subhanallah it was the plan of god to have him fall ill

[11:15]that way he could not have an active leadership role because if

[11:20]he had that role they would have killed him so imam zayn

[11:24]al-abadi islam for a long time after karbala he was very low

[11:30]key low profile so who would then educate the people teach the

[11:36]people deliver the message of islam to the people who was it

[11:45]ladies and this beautiful hadith gives us a window to understand her

[11:52]role at the time of the minor occultation when imam was now

[11:58]the imam and now he was in imam al-manji was now about

[12:03]seven years old because he was five years old when his father

[12:05]was martyred so now we're talking about the leadership of mahdi at

[12:14]age seven people could no longer see him physically except a few

[12:20]some of the high ranking shia companions they started to have doubts

[12:28]who's my imam in this era so in the year 262 of

[12:34]the hijra imam ahmed was born which year of the hijrah 255

[12:39]so he was seven this man this companion he says i went

[12:51]to see lady hakeem who's lady hakeem the daughter of which imam

[12:57]imam al-jawad al-islam she is the daughter of al-imam al-jawad ali so

[13:02]she is the aunt of the imam the great aunt of imam

[13:06]al-mahdi he says i went to visit lady hakeem and i asked

[13:13]her a question who's who's my imam in this era who do

[13:16]i have to follow so she said the son of al-hassan he's

[13:21]the imam i told her do you see him have you seen

[13:26]him how do you know he's the imam she said no right

[13:31]now he's an occultation no one really is seeing him but we

[13:35]have authentic reports from the imams that we should follow him from

[13:39]the previous imams from imam and ask then he asked this interesting

[13:46]question he says okay fine i understand that so right now who's

[13:50]the source of guidance if i need to go and ask a

[13:51]question from someone who do i go to who's god's proof right

[13:57]now she tells this man the scholar she tells him abhi muhammad

[14:06]the grandmother of al-imam al-mahdi the mother of imam alaska she was

[14:12]alive and she has been appointed to be the link between the

[14:18]mahdi and his community this is before we have the four ambassadors

[14:23]and they have an official role it was the grandmother of imam

[14:27]al-mahdi that was the source of guidance so now this man he

[14:31]kind of doesn't like what he heard you know he told her

[14:37]look he's absent i can't see him and now i have to

[14:41]go to a woman and she's the source of my religion you

[14:44]know understand the context of that society it was unusual they were

[14:49]patriarchal societies she told him yes that's the system of god he

[14:57]says but does this have a precedent she says yes there is

[15:03]a precedent he asked her where is that precedent lady hakim an

[15:07]islam tells this man she tells him the precedent is lady zainab

[15:10]after she actually stepped up to the leadership she became the source

[15:18]of guidance and any knowledge imam zayn al-abadi islam wanted to spread

[15:23]in his community in his society he would do so through lady

[15:30]zainab so they wouldn't kill him so remember that for a while

[15:35]after karbala al-imam al-islam would not openly publicly give a sermon except

[15:39]the one of course in the court of yazid but when he

[15:43]went back to medina he had a very low profile role if

[15:46]anyone had questions lady zainab would be asking but the imam is

[15:51]teaching her so the knowledge of ali hussein alaihissalam was now carried

[15:57]by lady zainab and she was educating the people on his behalf

[16:01]and the reason why she did that is to protect his life

[16:04]had the imam al-salam been active in the public sphere they would

[16:09]have killed him the maniumen see how ladies aina was how far

[16:15]she was willing to go for the sake of the imam of

[16:21]her time you know when when you think of the members of

[16:24]ahlil bait i know sometimes we have this impression that they're you

[16:29]know supernatural human beings but remember they are human beings they have

[16:33]the emotions that we have but it was their ability to use

[16:38]their emotions and powers for the sake of allah that makes them

[16:41]so great it's not easy to do that i'll tell you why

[16:44]look at your own families imagine an older aunt that you have

[16:47]or you know a great aunt that you have in your family

[16:51]like your dad's aunt your mom's aunt imagine in critical moments that

[17:00]aunt comes and she humbles herself for her nephew is it easy

[17:05]you have that age difference ladies and gentlemen is much older than

[17:09]imam and you have that rank difference too she's the daughter of

[17:15]imam ali lady fatima that's very prestigious is it easy for a

[17:22]person in that position to humble himself for another younger person in

[17:31]the family because that person commands the truth it's not easy most

[17:36]people fail in this test most people fail sometimes when you look

[17:42]at your position your rank you'd like to be followed not follow

[17:49]someone else but ladies submit it to the will of allah oh

[17:54]allah if he's the next imam i'll accept you see that submission

[17:59]that's something my dear brothers and sisters we all struggle with all

[18:05]of us struggle with that some of the uncles of the prophet

[18:10]like abu lahab one reason why he had difficulty following the prophet

[18:12]is he was much older than the prophet his his beard was

[18:19]white he's like 70 something the prophet's 40 something how is he

[18:24]going to follow his nephew he just couldn't he could not bring

[18:28]himself to follow and if the prophet was older than him maybe

[18:31]he would have accepted maybe it would have been much easier to

[18:38]accept one problem some companions had with imam ali is this age

[18:42]factor some of them were much older their beards were graying imam

[18:46]ali salaam was in his thirties when the prophet salallahu passed away

[18:50]they found it very difficult to go and follow who a young

[18:57]man i just can't you have to step on your ego to

[19:00]do that you have to show full submission to do that we

[19:05]find lady zainab standing up to the imam over time defending the

[19:10]imam over time sacrificing her life for the imam of her time

[19:14]even though he was younger now notice why when i gave you

[19:21]this example of defending the imam of your time i didn't mention

[19:24]imam hussain the brother here mentioned another example when she went to

[19:28]the battlefield trying to defend imam hussein see that's a given imam

[19:34]hussain is the master of the youth of paradise he's older than

[19:36]her he is her brother okay you can see how she can

[19:39]follow him right how she can defend him but when it comes

[19:42]to your nephew it's tough not anyone's willing to do that but

[19:46]ladies and gentlemen sacrificed for the sake of allah see that humbleness

[19:51]my dear brothers and sisters allah wants to be wants to see

[19:56]that humbleness in your heart something that's really tough for you to

[19:59]do allah will test you in that spot it could be a

[20:05]family situation maybe you have a younger sibling and you have to

[20:08]be the one to take the initiative to make peace to be

[20:15]on good terms could be another friend it's not easy and my

[20:19]dear brothers and sisters don't forget this in the future as you

[20:22]grow older inshallah you have your own families you become parents one

[20:26]day grandparents know that one way by which allah will try you

[20:30]is through this exact situation here you may be a parent but

[20:35]sometimes sometimes for the truth you may have to humble yourself before

[20:39]someone much younger than you or lower in rank can you do

[20:44]that or no the movement goes by the haqq where's the truth

[20:48]i'll follow it i don't care who what's their age what's their

[20:51]background what's their rank that's something we all struggle with but ladies

[20:58]and gentlemen beautifully executed this role she rose to the the defense

[21:03]of the imam of her time and today my dear brothers and

[21:07]sisters the takeaway point is that we have an imam of our

[21:12]time who continues the legacy of imam hussain you know one hadith

[21:19]states on the day of ashura after imam hussain alaihissalam was massacred

[21:25]the angels of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala broke into unprecedented crying and

[21:32]mourning and they basically asked allah subhanahu ta'ala how did this happen

[21:40]how did hussein get killed like that they they couldn't absorb what

[21:46]was happening because they know who imam hussain is in order to

[21:54]give them consolation what did allah show them the hadith states allah

[22:00]subhanahu ta'ala created a vision for the angels this is an authentic

[22:04]hadith and he showed them the imams who will come from the

[22:08]line of imam hussain so the nine imams who will be the

[22:11]descendants of imam hussain so they saw the vision of all the

[22:16]imams sitting down one of them was standing praying allah told them

[22:21]you see that vision you see one of them standing they said

[22:25]yes allah told them the one who's standing in arabic what do

[22:29]you call the one who's standing huh well waka is one word

[22:37]there's another word for it means the one who's standing that's one

[22:40]of the linguistic meanings allah told the angels do you see that

[22:46]amongst them i will seek revenge through him that gave the angels

[22:53]consolation that the legacy of imam hussain will continue and one day

[22:59]one day allah will avenge the death of imam hussain with that

[23:02]quran and that is continues the legacy of imam hussain and on

[23:12]the day of ashura when you have that you know you have

[23:16]these intense emotions and feelings in your heart i wish i was

[23:21]there in karbala to stand with imam hussain ala-salam you can today

[23:24]you have an imam of your time now my dear brothers and

[23:32]sisters how does imam al-mahdi seek revenge for what happened to imam

[23:38]hussain one of the names of al-imam is al-muntakim right have you

[23:42]heard that title and means the avenger the one who will seek

[23:47]revenge so a lot for the angels that he will avenge the

[23:50]killing of hussain how is that going to happen when we know

[23:55]the killers of imam hussain are long gone how is he going

[24:00]to avenge that any ideas yes creating justice can you elaborate how

[24:06]how is that a way of avenging the death of imam hussain

[24:11]yes you have the right idea we just like to expand on

[24:15]it what is it that imam hussain wanted to establish when he

[24:22]rose justice imam hussain clearly says i am rising for justice why

[24:27]did his enemies stop him because they had a problem with justice

[24:30]they don't want justice they were selfish we want everything for ourselves

[24:36]by killing imam hussain they thought that they will end that divine

[24:42]justice when he establishes global justice he is basically resurrecting the message

[24:51]of imam hussain continuing that justice and in doing so he took

[24:57]his revenge from the enemies of imam hussain by establishing justice it's

[25:02]a practical way of seeking revenge sometimes your enemy tries to stop

[25:07]you from something right what's the best revenge that you can take

[25:09]from your enemy to chase them and try to hurt them who

[25:13]cares what do you what are you going to get out of

[25:17]it what's the best revenge be successful right sometimes if there are

[25:21]people they're jealous of you they don't like you you have enemies

[25:26]they're trying to bring you down the best way for you to

[25:32]seek revenge from them is to stay focused and be successful that's

[25:36]the best way to seek revenge so that's one way by which

[25:40]allah will seek revenge from the killers of imam hussain so that's

[25:47]that's one way so the imam is the imam of our time

[25:53]if we want to learn one thing from lady zainab salam is

[25:55]to stand up for the imam of your time ask yourself today

[26:01]my dear brothers and sisters we have 24 hours a day i

[26:04]know we have a lot of activities and a lot of the

[26:08]activities are wonderful activities but what are you every single day dedicating

[26:14]to the imam of your time how are you defending the imam

[26:18]of your time how much do you know the imam of your

[26:21]time how connected are you to the imam of your time do

[26:27]you dedicate your daily activities and efforts to the imam of your

[26:31]time because the imam of time my dear brothers and sisters is

[26:36]key to success allah wants you to worship him through the imam

[26:40]of your time allah and suratul israel states on the day of

[26:47]judgement when allah subhanahu ta'ala will call you and resurrect you how

[26:51]will he do so what's the criteria there that will determine who

[26:57]you will be resurrected with the imam of your time clear verse

[27:01]in the holy quran allah will resurrect you based on your relationship

[27:05]with the imam of your time and this is an area that

[27:11]many people failed especially in karbala look at this example imam hussain

[27:15]alaihis is the imam let's look at his companions such as and

[27:25]look at the other side um the commander of yazid's army of

[27:30]ibiza's army what is the difference between omar ibn saad and habib

[27:37]what's the difference muslims they're both muslim they both said the shahada

[27:43]prayer they both prayed you know even prayed in karbala in fact

[27:49]in fact on the last day the 11th of muharram shortly before

[27:53]they departed he gathered all the dead from his side and he

[28:00]led his army in prayer salah the salah of the janazah and

[28:05]he buried his dead oh he practiced this part of sharia very

[28:08]good and he deliberately left imam hussain al-isram and his companions unburied

[28:14]for three days abram assad prayed he knew the quran some of

[28:19]them had memorized the quran so what's the difference between them and

[28:22]habib the imam of your time submitted to the imam of of

[28:36]his time and he was willing to give what he could have

[28:39]for the imam of his time um he did not recognize the

[28:43]imam of his time he did not obey the imam of his

[28:48]time and see their fate they have many things in common they're

[28:50]muslim they believe in the shahadah at least from the outside they

[28:54]would pray um had gone to hajj they've memorized the quran from

[29:00]the outside identical but there was one difference their commitment to the

[29:08]imam of their time that's what makes habib ibn different from others

[29:14]and that's what will make you today different from others how committed

[29:19]are you to the imam of your time how much do you

[29:23]even think of him how close are you to him how much

[29:27]do you talk to the imam of your time how much do

[29:29]you seek strength and inspiration from your iman you know subhanallah one

[29:34]of the best strategies my dear brothers and sisters to cope with

[29:38]any difficulty that you have in life is to stay close to

[29:42]the imam of your time regardless of what crisis you're going through

[29:46]health crisis family crisis financial crisis if you have that daily connection

[29:53]with your imam you talk to him you tell him i realize

[29:54]that i have an imam i feel safe with my imam i

[29:58]feel i have a support system i know allah has the entire

[30:03]universe at his disposal and you are the representative of god and

[30:07]i'm with you so what if i have a problem here and

[30:10]there so what when i have you oh my imam i feel

[30:14]safe how often do we feel safe with the imam of our

[30:18]time my dear brothers and sisters believe me some of us go

[30:22]for weeks and weeks not really remembering not genuinely remembering him not

[30:26]genuinely connecting to it and that's a very important lesson that we

[30:33]learned from lady zainab that's the first role of lady zainab her

[30:39]defense for the imam of her time the second role my dear

[30:45]brothers and sisters is the courage slash chastity of lady zainab in

[30:52]that society it was not that common for women to have an

[30:59]active leadership position and some people had the idea that if a

[31:02]woman steps up to the plate and she has a public role

[31:08]then that compromises her chastity modesty lady zainab salam shattered these misconceptions

[31:18]and she did so in kufa lady zainab gave a powerful sermon

[31:24]in kufa the narrator says the following about her the narrator says

[31:30]lady zainab the daughter of ali gave a powerful sermon a very

[31:33]eloquent sermon and then he says the following he says never have

[31:38]i seen a woman in my life who's so eloquent who's so

[31:42]courageous but at the same time has excessive haya like zainab bantali

[31:49]what's haya can someone translate hayat to us in english there is

[31:53]no term that captures what haya is but what is hayat those

[31:57]of you are who are familiar with arabic yes what humility well

[32:04]there is humility in hayat but not quite humility is is more

[32:12]like tawavo what's that humbleness but that's also tawava humbleness is when

[32:16]you're down to earth you're humble is something else what's haya yes

[32:21]modesty chastity shyness all of these combined is hayah when you have

[32:29]modesty and chastity and shyness you call this and it's also a

[32:35]type of appropriateness and politeness too see you need five english words

[32:40]to capture one arabic word i've not seen a term in english

[32:44]that fully captures what hayat means hayat means you know your limits

[32:48]you're appropriate you're polite you're shy you're modest and you're chaste all

[32:55]of that is chest as haya in arabic notice what this narrator

[33:02]observes observes about lady zainab he says never in my life have

[33:05]i seen a woman so eloquent so courageous but at the same

[33:14]time she has so much haya like zaina how did she combine

[33:18]these two that's amazing about lady zainab lady zainab teaches everyone that

[33:24]you can rise to the challenges and even for sisters they can

[33:29]stand up to the truth they can be active members of their

[33:35]society guiding others leading their communities but with with full chastity with

[33:41]full honor with full dignity with full modesty even there is that

[33:45]element of shyness some people think that this is a contradiction how

[33:49]can you be outgoing and courageous and kind of like shy at

[33:54]the same time but zainab did it she gave you that impression

[33:58]that she's the most modest person on earth but she's courageous and

[34:02]she's the most eloquent person that's a beautiful lesson my dear brothers

[34:06]and sisters that we can learn from lady zainab today today there

[34:11]are some people that are under the impression that if i have

[34:14]to be effective out there in society the hijab is a hindrance

[34:20]it's an obstacle in my way i've heard this a lot especially

[34:22]from sisters i can't be you know very successful out there in

[34:27]society because the hijab is going to hinder my progress the hijab

[34:33]is not going to allow my society to fully accept me and

[34:37]i can't be as effective ladies shatters this misconception no you can

[34:43]you can be courageous you can have your strong identity you can

[34:49]be confident you can be successful but you uphold the values of

[34:52]modesty the values of hijab the values of haya they go hand

[34:56]in hand together and she gives us that beautiful example yes it's

[35:02]not easy you have to sacrifice you'll face resistance a few times

[35:06]but in the end allah will support you here in the dearborn

[35:12]dearborn heights area we have for instance female judges in hijab do

[35:17]you know any in this area i'm sure you know some names

[35:21]how is that how did that happen a judge here in america

[35:26]with hijab yes of course be strong uphold your values be confident

[35:30]be qualified there will be some resistance here and there but eventually

[35:34]you'll make it but i've known many sisters and i've heard this

[35:39]from them and they have good intentions and no way am i

[35:45]judging them many of them because they had ambitions to be leaders

[35:50]in their community and to have these posts and positions they had

[35:54]to let go of their hijab because they just didn't think that

[35:59]they could achieve that while observing the hijab ladies teaches us no

[36:04]you can combine between them and so that's a beautiful description that

[36:09]this narrator gives final point my dear brothers and sisters that i'll

[36:16]conclude with is to take three segments from the speech of lady

[36:22]zainab and just to show you how much vision this lady has

[36:24]her speech in the courtyard of yazid some of you have heard

[36:29]the speech some of you have memorized the speech it's a beautiful

[36:32]powerful speech especially when you hear it in arabic the first important

[36:38]point that lady zainab al-isram makes in this speech she tells yazid

[36:46]look when you see that the world has come to you you

[36:48]have a kingdom you have all these blessings you have power and

[36:52]that we have been humiliated don't think that god is on your

[36:58]side and he's not on our side sometimes we human beings when

[37:02]we look at things we look at them from a worldly we

[37:08]look at them from the lens of quantity and that is a

[37:13]measure of success for most of us let's let's face it power

[37:19]money wealth fame recognition today today i'm i'm very honest with you

[37:24]today the political climate here in america is very disturbing look at

[37:29]how some people are talking about the presidency and some of the

[37:33]comments that they're making yes the proof that god is with us

[37:38]is that he brought so and so a person to power and

[37:40]he is the cyrus of the king cyrus of our time and

[37:43]you've heard some of these crazy comments here and there that's how

[37:48]people think people's brains and intellect are in their eyes when they

[37:52]see something glamorous and fascinating wow god must be on your side

[37:58]that's not how it works ladies and gentlemen don't think that just

[38:03]because you've achieved this materialistic victory that you've won no allah is

[38:09]actually destroying you and she cites the beautiful verse in the holy

[38:17]quran those people who've disbelieved who challenge allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that

[38:26]when we give them something that when we give them from the

[38:37]worldly treasures the worldly power the worldly resources that this is good

[38:43]for them no this will be a source of evil for them

[38:48]allah wants you o yazid to increase your sins so he'll destroy

[38:53]you stronger don't take that as a sign that oh allah is

[38:58]favoring me no no because you've showed so much evilness allah subhanallah

[39:03]wants to destroy you now when she said that she demoralized yazid

[39:08]because the people of sham had not heard this kind of mentality

[39:11]because the bini beni omaya how did they confirm their legitimacy in

[39:16]front of the people yes see yazid won the battle so god

[39:20]must be with him yazid has the caliphate he's got the money

[39:25]he's got the power he's got the fame but she turned it

[39:31]around against him and she proved to him from the quran that

[39:33]allah is destroying him that's number one number two she told him

[39:39]oh yazid now that you've won the battle you've taken us as

[39:43]prisoners of war don't consider this as a magnem it's a magram

[39:49]two beautiful words in arabic they rhyme and what's the difference between

[39:59]them means gain means loss garam have you heard like the word

[40:04]in arabic when you get fined or you lose something it's a

[40:09]fine it's a loss so magnum is again magaram is a liability

[40:17]it's a loss she tells him oh yazid just because you've materialistically

[40:24]gained don't consider that as a real gain soon in the ayakara

[40:27]you will see how this will become a liability for you my

[40:33]dear brothers and sisters if we just take this logic here and

[40:36]live by it we'll have different lives the world would be a

[40:39]better place believe me sometimes sometimes you know when you have a

[40:45]situation with a business partner family members friends you're in a position

[40:48]and we're all competing i'm vying and i'm competing for a position

[40:53]to get somewhere and sometimes you know we're not ethical in our

[40:57]approaches and we oppress others and we take away their right but

[41:02]we call this as they say in arabic have you heard people

[41:09]some people who maneuver around and they cheat and you know they

[41:16]even teach the devil how to cheat let's face it society sometimes

[41:20]praises such people they consider that as you know a source of

[41:23]power you know something nice that this person has lady zainab teaches

[41:28]you no no no that's not how it works you think it's

[41:32]a game but the person is just making his liability bigger and

[41:35]bigger and bigger because you have to face allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[41:40]with that the true you know being smart and savvy was to

[41:47]obey allah subhanahu wa it's to find ways to stay on the

[41:52]path of allah that's the real shattara not to cheat other people

[41:57]i remember there was an incident years ago with the family there

[42:01]was this inheritance situation when one of the brothers came up with

[42:06]it with an ingenious way to take the greatest share of inheritance

[42:11]for himself now he thought that this was again a success but

[42:17]no lady zainab teaches you it's a loss it's a big loss

[42:20]for you it's a big liability think of it this way and

[42:25]then finally lady zainab concludes that powerful sermon by telling him yazi

[42:30]today you have all these people behind you know that soon your

[42:36]number numbers will dwindle and dwindle and go down and our matter

[42:41]and path will keep increasing and becoming stronger and stronger and as

[42:47]the time goes by we the bait our message will get stronger

[42:51]and stronger and subhanallah my dear brothers and sisters look 14 centuries

[42:58]later look at the camp of um the camp of imam hussain

[43:02]imam al-hussein buried in karbala just look at the number of people

[43:09]who go visit him what are they benefiting is somebody passing out

[43:14]money there that they're going why are they going even even in

[43:19]this crisis right now the covet 19 where people are so scared

[43:23]to leave you saw millions of people just descend on kerbela now

[43:28]i'm not i'm not commenting on whether that should happen or not

[43:32]but there's just something special about imam hussain that attracts the people

[43:38]after the collapse of saddam and i'll conclude with this the new

[43:42]york times ran a very beautiful article about the visitors who were

[43:48]flocking to karbala especially from iran so the reporter over there he

[43:53]is talking about one american general who was talking to some iranian

[43:59]elderly people like an old man who could barely walk he saw

[44:04]him trying to cross the border because for a while there were

[44:08]no official borders between iran and it was like chaos after the

[44:11]collapse of saddam so people just had to go like through mountains

[44:15]and deserts to get into iraq it was even dangerous some people

[44:18]died in that route so the new york times says this american

[44:21]general stopped an elderly man who was exhausted he was thirsty and

[44:28]he gave him some water he told him what brings you here

[44:33]he told him i'm going to karbala he told him do you

[44:37]have family in karbala what's what's going on in karbala he's like

[44:41]no i'm visiting someone who are you visiting so he said i'm

[44:45]visiting imam hussain now this general has no idea what imam hussain

[44:49]is strange how they send these guys over there without even knowing

[44:53]the history of that place he had no clue what what's going

[44:57]on in karbala so i told him i'm visiting the grave of

[45:00]imam hussein so he told him like how is he related to

[45:04]you when did he die like did he is are they having

[45:06]a funeral for him is your cousin your brother all the way

[45:10]you came from iran you're traveling by foot you're putting your life

[45:15]to danger who's who's this person who just died is your brother

[45:18]your nephew he told him no this is our imam our inspiration

[45:24]he was martyred 14 centuries ago the general the american general told

[45:27]him you're telling me that you came all the way from your

[45:31]village walking on foot and you're like almost 80 years old and

[45:36]you almost died you're dying from thirst just to visit the shrine

[45:41]of someone who died 14 centuries ago how does that add up

[45:46]so he says the elderly man started to tell me about his

[45:49]love for imam hussain and why imam hussain is an inspiration see

[45:53]when lady zainab says as the days go by our matter will

[46:00]have more clarity more power and you can see how much vision

[46:04]ladies so my dear brothers and sisters were all indebted to the

[46:11]role of lady zayn thank allah for giving us such a leader

[46:14]and let's appreciate our leaders from the family of the prophet sallallahu

[46:22]alaihi who had to go through every type of pain and suffering

[46:24]so 14 centuries later we can sit and talk about our religion

[46:29]so we can know who god is what our prayer is what

[46:33]the quran is what it means to be strong what it means

[46:34]to be patience what the hijab means for us appreciate that lady

[46:42]zainab selflessly sacrificed everything in the way of allah and allah elevated

[46:48]and that's the best lesson for us be with allah allah will

[46:52]give the world to you on the day of ashura imam hussain

[46:57]gave everything he had in the way of allah everything there was

[46:59]nothing that he had on that day he didn't sacrifice it and

[47:03]allah gave him the world allah gave him everything my dear brothers

[47:07]and sisters if you look at the hadiths go look at communist

[47:10]one of our most authentic books about the ziyarahs and the virtues

[47:15]of imam hussein and just see how allah honored imam hussain even

[47:20]even the land of karbala the sahih hadith states on the day

[47:26]of judgment allah will resurrect the dust of karbala just because it

[47:30]contains the body of imam hussain allah will elevate it to paradise

[47:33]because allah created karbala from heaven and so it will go back

[47:39]to heaven and you know heaven has neighborhoods the most upscale neighborhood

[47:44]in heaven is karbala on the day of judgment keep that in

[47:48]mind allah has given everything to imam hussain allah created heaven from

[47:52]the noor of imam hussain according to our teachings from the imams

[47:57]of adebayt and it's simple don't be surprised oh is this an

[48:04]exaggeration he gave everything to allah on that day and allah is

[48:07]the most generous you give everything to allah allah will give you

[48:12]everything may allah bless you my dear brothers and sisters we ask

[48:16]allah to hasten the reappearance of our master al-imam and foreign
