 Don't leave me, because maybe I won't get to see you again It hurts me to think that this could be good by my old friend Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh And Imam Hussein TV, welcome to Sowash University Which will be hosting the annual Imam Hussein conference Now the Imam Hussein conference happens every year And it's a conference where prestige and esteemed guests Come and speak on behalf of the Shia community And to promote the name of Imam Hussein The conference is open to all Muslim and non-Muslims And it's held in a western methodology But a very very academic approach To promote the name of Imam Hussein And to promote the struggle of Imam Hussein And most importantly to promote the name of Imam Hussein And his mission for humanity In Karbala we see heavenly traits such as truth, bravery, loyalty, social justice, love coming through And these tell us that when we call for reform The reform must be towards the direction of goodness and good Assalamu Alaikum, my name is Jawad Al Haari, I'm from London And the annual Imam Hussein conference here in London It's an annual event, Alhamdulillah This year's event has been a massive success We have been graced with the presence of very esteemed characters We had beautiful lectures and talks from Jafar Baraka We had a talk from Dr. Ehab, very academic talk Personally my favorite aspect of today was the presentation by VR Karbala Virtual reality Karbala Really really good project and initiative and inshallah we can support it I think these kind of conferences are very important Because it gives us an opportunity to bring our non-Muslim friends To a conference to learn about Imam Hussein It's all good in the year doing 10, 15 nights of Majalis for us Shia But we need to accommodate to non-Muslims The two types of mourning, the type of mourning where you commemorate And the type of mourning where you spread the message And I think this equates to the former Where we can get people from a non-Shia Or even non-Muslim background to be actively involved In spreading the message of Imam Hussein, may Allah accept The little deeds that we do in his name and his honor My name is Neil Nasser I'm here representing Hussein London The food drive coordination team Hussein is a global entity that aims to help people in need Here in London we're helping the homeless people To distribute people of London Every week we're in Charon Cross And we're serving the needs of the homeless people Around about 200 people Every single week we're feeding them Alhamdulillah today's event was amazing There was a great range of speakers that came along I learned a lot about Imam Hussein About Shiaism, some beautiful poetry And some beautiful recitation Imam Hussein is my inspiration because In his footsteps I try to work He stood for oppression And he stood for the needy people of his time He freed slaves He gives me inspiration when I look around the streets of London I see people that are oppressed right in front of me Am I to ignore them or am I to help them Imam Ali alaihi salam said never look down on somebody Unless you're willing to pick them up It's extremely important to have a Western touch About Imam Hussein because Generally what I do is I engage with people that are non-Muslims People of different sects and different faiths And believers, general public that are walking past Every single week seeing what we're doing And we're liaising with these people To tell them the beautiful elements of Islam The beautiful elements of the Imam And what he stood for It's not like one morning If John wakes up He'll find a pair of limbs It's not like one morning Muhammad would start to hear A one morning Husna San Hassan Will come back to life To embrace his mother We saw this opportunity Of telling about our project We are Karbala And it fitted perfectly with the conference Since it's about Imam Hussein alaihi salam We are Karbala is basically about Reviving the tragedy of Karbala And allowing users to relive The tragedy of Karbala by using Our virtual reality glasses to travel Back in time and experience In seeing Imam Hussein alaihi salam As the person was present On the battle of Karbala Well I think the conference was very good It's my first time attending here I flow from Denmark to here this morning And Alhamdulillah it's very good By the organizers So we are blessed to be here today And it is not just a simple conference It is a conference An academic conference Which gives you some other thoughts About Imam Hussein alaihi salam Salam alaikum My name is Faten Adil Ismail I am the central London ambassador For the Imam Hussein blood donation campaign That works in partnership With the Islamic community society And NHS blood and transfusion So Imam Hussein Is the main inspiration behind Our campaign And the previous from the name of our campaign Is the Imam Hussein blood donation campaign We draw inspiration from his sacrifice Who he gave up his life And his blood And in the same way we can do so In our very own Society at the moment that we are living in We can donate our blood To help the thousands of lives That are in need of blood Everyday in hospitals Or car accidents Major operations And we can do so selflessly And also at no harm to ourselves In fact this is something that we can do And our blood rejuvenates itself So inshallah we are all inspired By Imam Hussein alaihi salam To hear your story I'm helpless wishing I could save your life But you give me courage To face the demons that I have inside To take me higher Away from desire And I spent ten nights angry I'm praying for peace But I don't want to sleep And when I close my eyes Karbala your land is in my mind And I can't stop these tears No I won't ease tonight One of the terms the Quran uses To describe how the process Of Tabligh should be done Is inshallah al-Rahman al-Raheem Wa ma alayna indan bala Al-Mubin chapter 36 verse 17 And we are not responsible For other than clear notification Now in the Arabic language The strongest method to emphasise on one side Is to exempt it and then give an exemption We're here at the end of the Imam Hussein conference The conference was an amazing experience Where we had loads of different people From different backgrounds From spoken word to PhD doctors Giving lectures to human activists To even normal speakers People who talk on TED Talks All here to promote the name of Imam Hussein And to promote the message The mission of peace, love and humanitarianism All here in London Most inshallah Imam Hussein TV No I won't ease tonight It's firing my heart won't die And even in my dreams I'll hear the cry I see bodies laying side by side Children, peace tonight It's firing my heart won't die And even in my dreams
