 أعوذ بالله من الشيطان العين الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله بارئ الخلاق الأجمعين بأث الأنبياء والمرسلين ثم الصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء حبيب قلوبنا وشفيع ذنوبنا أبي القاسم محمد ثم الصلاة والسلام على أهل بيته التيبين الطاهرين المعسومين المظلومين سياما ولي الله الحجت بن الحسن صاحب لأمر والزمان الله مسؤول على محمد وآل محمد روحي وأرواح العالمين له الفداء ولعنت الله على أعدائهم أجمعين من الأولين والآخرين إلى قيام يوم الدين أما بعد يقول الله تعالى في مهكم كتابه الحكيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ذلك ومن يعذم شعائر الله فإنها من تكوى القلوب صدق الله العلي العظيم وآمننا بيح نور مجالسكم بذكر محمد وآل محمد الله مسؤول على محمد وآل محمد أريد أن أبدأ أولاً بإمكاني أن أسهل الإسلامي حريتج وإنها شيء لنا to take pride to be a part of such an organization even if it is through participation وإن شاء الله this becomes a platform not only to make this a national event inside of the United Kingdom but in Europe and the world where every year mass gatherings are held until the shrines of Jannah are restored all of this with the loud Salawat Allah محمد وآل محمد for the allocated time that I have there are a number of topics that I want to cover and I felt that perhaps it would be best to cover this by way of an index and inshallah it opens the doors for further research it opens the doors for contemplation to dabbur and tafakkur and it also opens the doors for tanthim tanthim يعني to organize ourselves you find that one of the final wasiyah that was given by Amir al-Mu'mineen صلوات الله وسلامه عليه الله مسؤول على محمد وآل محمد to his son Imam al-Mujtaba and to his children in general he points out to them to paraphrase this part of the wasiyah that by Allah organize your affairs organization of our affairs in order to build a strategy and to follow up with this strategy to have a coordinated movement where we are able to rally all the different shea centers within the UK and further than that all the Muslim centers and perhaps more than that monotheistic organizations that's subscribed to the Abrahamic faith to stand up hand in hand for the cause of Jannah al-Baqih for this to happen we need tanthim organization and inshallah hopefully through this next couple of minutes next time that is allocated to us we can try and go through this step by step number one the destruction of Jannah al-Baqih and Jannah al-Mu'allah is a crime on a number of fronts it is a crime against history number one number two it constitutes of a crime against archeology three it is a crime against ideology and number four it is a crime against humanity in its entirety as we shall see a crime against history when you find the entire world is investing millions if not trillions of dollars to preserve their history you find over here a reaction of an ideology that claims to be a representation of Islam spending millions of dollars to destroy this Islamic history a crime against archeology or architecture you find that the construction the materials used for the constructions of the shrines inside of Jannah al-Mu'allah and Jannah al-Baqih the archeological makeup of the Qubab the shining domes in itself was an attestation of the forward movement and far-thinking advancement of Muslim archeology even before perhaps the western world had made games such as those a crime against ideology an open attack against the mudhub of Ahlulbayt when this attack on Jannah al-Baqih happened يا أحيب بأي the fact that till today the harams of Imam al-Mujtaba and Saadiq and Barkir and Zain al-Aabideen amongst others the fact that these graves are destroyed till today this is a cry in the face of the followers of Ahlulbayt that we hold enmity against Ahlulbayt this destruction has consequences that are far reached whether we comprehend these or not this destruction of Jannah al-Baqih is to tell you because we were not there in Karbala here we are to obliterate the zikr of Ahlulbayt do we comprehend this threat and the extent of this threat through the destruction of Jannah al-Baqih and perhaps what this destruction signifies a crime against humanity crime against humanity as we shall see in the end but a quick note over here a crime against humanity because these shrines represent divine guidance these shrines are places of divine inspiration so long as these shrines exist the entire humanity has a doorway to find eternal truth and get eternal salvation so long as these shrines exist the doors of Hidaya are open to anyone and everyone regardless of color creed or faith and these doors of guidance were closed with the destruction of Jannah al-Baqih look at Sayyid al-Shuhada the ziyara of Sayyid al-Shuhada and the haram of Sayyid al-Shuhada Aba Abdullah al-Hussein has become a door of guidance towards Tashayyoo without Mubalagh without exaggeration for millions of people across the globe different levels of Hidaya millions of people there was this woman this is by Nalqauseni it just came to my mind but to show you the importance of shrines and the reverence of these shrines there was a woman serving in the American army and this was during the time of just immediately she was sent just immediately after the downfall of Saddam there is a time of great turbulence inside of Iraq and you may have read about the first Arba'een that took place because these were processions and gatherings that were bad under the time of the dictator Saddam the first Arba'een that happened and at that time from what I remember they were close to about between 1.5 and 3 million people who went for this first Arba'een and as millions of people not only from inside of Iraq but from outside of Iraq embarking upon this walk to Jannah on earth millions of people in one direction yaaakhi a nation that has been oppressed ever since the inception of Iraq in itself people who are torn by bloodshed and war roadside explosives the economies in chaos despite everything people have left whatever they have whatever they could salvage despite all these issues لبيك يا حسين they walk in that direction 1.5 to 3 million people at that time Paul Bremmer from the American government was visiting Iraq and as they were traveling to Baghdad and he was in his helicopter and they see that millions of people are walking and this was something that was never experienced before never seen something that you see with your own eyes and as they met they had taken one of the policies of Saddam to be the preliminary or the temporary make house gathering place in which the interim government would then be elected and the constitution and so on and so forth before the decree of say the Alias Sistani may Allah grant him and all of us a long and healthy life فا they come and they have a debrief you know what is this issue million and a half people احنا now when we come and we look at the statistics of Armaid Masha Allah 10, 15, 20, 30 million people 1.5 at that time شي خيالي between 1.5 to 3 so they come they have a debrief and they see what is happening they bring a number of local Iraqi people who are involved at that time with setting up the government and translators and so on and so forth and they explain the issue of Arbaeen this lady who was perhaps not very senior as a cadet when she hears about who Imam Hussein is they said to her they are walking to Hussein they asked who is Hussein is a local hero candidate somebody who was in exile many people who were in exile from the Ulama came back and they were received in their thousands she said who is it no no this is a person who was a grandson of the prophet martyred 1400 years ago they revered him so this lady who was not that high within the ranks cadet but not that high within the ranks she goes to her seniors and she asks from what they tell us about Hussein to be a saint can I get official permission from the whichever military contingency she was working with to go and visit Karbala to go to Karbala and to witness they say to her that you know as within the protocol that is there you cannot go or venture out on your own outside of your duty of military function and if you were to go there on your own private time there has to be a convoy otherwise there is no assurance or guarantee given to your safety security all these things somehow something inside of her heart she goes and on her own she manages to sign forms that she takes full liability that if anything happens to her the American military is not responsible she goes and she walks she goes towards Karbala she didn't walk but she went to Karbala from Baghdad and she had a translator with her she a translator a translator himself says I felt ashamed she was asking me questions about Imam al-Hussein he said I felt ashamed I said maybe she won't understand the meaning of sacrifice in the way of Allah she will not be able to comprehend these deeper meanings she said I felt ashamed so when she was asking me why people are insistent to go to Hussein he said to her the people think or it is within the belief of the people that since Hussein is the grandson of the prophet he can fulfill the desires of any person قاذي الحوائج I look at the door of guidance it happens this lady from the time that she was married and through the time that she was in service in the American military she was not able to conceive she says I went up and I was guided towards the gate of Hussein ibn Ali and she says I saw two domes golden domes up into the skies I have a feeling that she was standing between the haramain and those who know the significance and the spirituality and the energy inside of between the haramain know what I'm talking about she says I looked at the shrine and I said a million people and she's talking to Imam al-Hussein she says she mentions I spoke to the person I don't know Hussein I said oh Hussein a million and a half people come here walking through roadside explosives and this and that thinking that you will fulfill their desires I am one of these 1.5 million people I've never had children please bless me with children sure enough she returns back to Baghdad she's suspended from her duty for breaching military behavior venturing outside the camp even though she had permission from the military she's retired back to the US within that first year she conceives after 10 to 15 years of not being able to conceive this woman now is she a itnaashary and spreads the message of Aba Abdullah al-Hussein within the United States Allahumma swalla Allahumma Muhammad Allahumma Muhammad فيا اخواني the shrines of جنة الباكية the doors of هداية and the doors of guidance crime against humanity because the doors of guidance towards humanity were closed with the destruction of جنة الباكية in any case these are some of the information points that perhaps are not very widespread within the news within the media and perhaps we ourselves may not know of this in detail but number one the shrines of جنة الباكية were actually destroyed twice they were first destroyed in the year 1801 and the second time in 1925 in 1801 they were initially destroyed when محمد ابين عبدالوحب went into a political alliance with محمد ابن سعود who was the emir of one of the provinces inside of جنة الباكية so they decided to create a political and a religious alliance through which they would be able to conquer the land of Hijaz and to free it from the rule of the Ottoman Empire and hence the pretext of political agenda was religion and religion itself was used for political gain territorial gain so the first time they attacked and they actually managed to attack مدينة was in 1801 however the Ottoman Empire was able to gain control again over the land of Hijaz in particular the land of مكة and مدينة and drive عل سعود out therefore after the first destruction or demolition of جنة الباكية in 1801 under the watch of the Ottoman Empire جنة الباكية was reconstructed again until the second attack which was in the year 1925 and the attack of 1925 is the remnants of what we see till today it is within this attack of 1925 that the Ottoman Empire was coming to its downfall and the British colonial empire was at a rise and forking out its geographical assertation and the rule over the Middle East that the party of Ibn Wahab and the عل سعود were able to take over a majority of Hijaz and when they got control over مدينة and مكة they carried out this demolition for the second time so the first time جنة الباكية was demolished it was rebuilt within this period of 125-124 odd years and the last time it happened 1925 till today no reconstruction number two before the demolition of جنة الباكية both in 1801 and in 1925 they didn't just go there and demolish all the graves and the shrines rather what happened is that the shrines were systematically looted off their possessions now you got to understand what it means when these shrines were looted for hundreds if not thousands of years kings not only from the Arabian peninsular but from the subcontinent traders from all across the world regardless of their faith when they came to perform the pilgrimage they would visit مدينة and they would visit مكة and they would gift jewels and treasures to the respective imams by leaving these gifts within their harams in fact some of the historical texts noticed that even حارون العباسي had left a sword whose weight was about 25 kilograms the handle of which was gold and the cover was also gold plated as a gift from him حارون العباسي to رسول الله regardless of حارون يعني opened enmity towards أحل البيت just to give you an idea of the types of people and the type of gifts that had accumulated within the حرم of رسول الله and within the حرم of أحل البيت inside of جنة البكيح all of this was looted one of the historians comes and says tons of gold were looted and تم أحبائي familiar with current gold day prices شكت what is the value of gold per gram it is calculated today tons of gold belonging to أحل البيت حرم were looted at that time this is number 2 number 3 أخواني people come and demolish the shrines of أحل البيت shrines that have got a history up to going back to going back to 90 AH يعني 90 AH thousands of years these shrines have been there you think a warring faction comes gains control over مدينة decide one day that they are going to demolish the shrines and everything is okay لا أبدا لا أحبائي even the enemy has تختيد even the enemy plans what was the justification for destroying جنة البكيح historians mention that in order to demolish جنة البكيح before the demolition act was carried out علي سعود the ruling faction of علي سعود together with those who are the faces of وحابيزم the teachings of محمد بن وحب عبد الوحب they come together and they put out an إستفتاء religious query to the leading group of Muftis inside of مكة and مدينة and they ask these Muftis inside the فتوة is it permissible to build a structure over the graves of the Awliya of other human beings and take them as a mosque or does this constitute of شرق historians come forward and in fact an Egyptian newspaper at that time which printed out the report after the demolition comes forward and says that within this panel of 10 to 15 Muftis sitting inside of مكة the highest level of Muftis for this land of the حرامين all under certain type of pressure under certain type of stress and others who are bribed shine the فتوة stating that building a structure over the graves of the Awliya and the أسفيا is بدأ so they got that religious justification to go and destroy the shrines of جنة البكية and within this there are lessons when people want to destroy Islam they use Islam as a justification to destroy Islam they came under a religious pretext علي سعود they did not come saying that they are the كفار and the مشريكين and they are the representatives of باني أمية أبدا لا موتاكي مؤمنين we have come to liberate you from the Ottoman empire we have come to make sure that you are not part of the great British colonial empire we are here to protect توحيد this was the pretext that was used to demolish جنة البكية احنا people of واعي people of بسيرا people who are sharp in their religion and are sharp in understanding the plot of the enemy needs to understand this tactic they used the Quran they used Islam to destroy أحل البيت and they used Islam to destroy Islam this is number three number four there are over 300 mosques or grave sites that were destroyed systematically by Ali Sa'ud in addition to جنة البكية and جنة المؤلة 300 one of the ulama by the name of عيطول العظمة محكك الثاني or مجدد الثاني as is popularly referred to رحمة الله علي they compiled the book together of the masajid and the mazarat in the lands of Hijaj and from those that were demolished inside of جنة البكية بيت الحزن and majority of them are of the opinion that the greatest kubba the biggest kubba to shine in جنة البكية was the kubba of Imam Hassan المجتبة next to the kubba of Imam المجتبة there was a smaller kubba known as the kubba of Fatima and this is most commonly known as بيت الحزن this house that Amir al-Mu'minin built for Zahra to mourn رسول الله because when she mourned in her house the shuyuk of Saqifah would come forward and they would say to Amir al-Mu'minin your wife cries in the day and cries in the night we are not able to sleep at night nor work in the day so tell her to cry either in the morning or in the evening what did Amir al-Mu'minin do build a house for Zahra in جنة البكية known as بيت الحزن she would hold the hand of Imam Hassan and go there from morning to night and weep for رسول الله that's بيت الحزن destroyed in جنة البكية more than that you have Masjid al-Jumu'a which was close to Masjid al-Kubba Masjid al-Jumu'a was that Masjid where Rasool Allah initiated the first and prayed the first ever Salat al-Jumu'a and now we have a whole sura inside of the Quran Surat al-Jumu'a Muslims across the world recite Salat al-Jumu'a every Friday show us where is the first Masjid that Rasool Allah recited in Salat al-Jumu'a destroyed and rubble and it's not far distance from Masjid al-Kubba next Masjid al-Fat this conquer of bloodless conquer over Makkah and the victory of Rasool Allah over Makkah إذا جاء نصر الله و الفت و ريت الناس يدخلون في دين الله that first entry point where in Makkah where through Makkah did Rasool Allah actually enter and conquer Makkah there was a Masjid build a Masjid al-Fat show us where this Masjid is a Masjid that was supposed to represent the victory of Tawheed over Kufr was destroyed tell me Ali Saud which party are you on the party of Kufr or the party of Tawheed Masjid al-Fat destroyed cover of سيد اسمعيل ابن إمام السادق you know the Ismaili our brothers from the Ismaili sect whether from all the different sects that exist from within the Ismailia they go back to اسمعيل ابن إمام السادق on the pretext that إمام السادق went into غيبة the cover of اسمعيل ابن إمام السادق is in Jannat al-Baki destroyed else the grave in itself would be a central point for ideological debate to prove the validity of the اسمعيل إمام السادق who are the sayings in غيبة شوة أصدقبر أكو كبر in Jannat al-Baki بعد more than that سيد آمنا in Abuwa the mother of Rasool Allah Abuwa was a city or a small town between Mecca and Madinah in fact every year inside of Abuwa at the grave of سيد آمنا there used to be an entire week of celebrations for مولود النبي and this went on على مافي بالي until I think the 1950s or 1940s and it was funded by local Saudi businessmen who were not even she is سيد آمنا is a cover for her no it was destroyed in fact what the reports come forward is that the graves of سيد خديجة أم المؤمنين and say the آمنا were blown up using TNT about 15 or 25 kilo I cannot remember at the moment about 25 kilos of TNT planted inside and trying to blow it up مسجد ردو شامس مسجد where which was built on the place where for Rasool Allah the sun returned back يا أخي you have a point a place in Mecca where a miracle happened that defines everything we know about cosmology even that trace was destroyed جنة البكيان جنة المؤلة were very few of what more was destroyed more than that this destruction was not limited to 1925 rather it has been systematically happening throughout the first pretext that was used was that the muftis came forward and said that it is شركة and كفر بدع the second pretext that was used to destroy a number of shrines and places of زيارة inside of Mecca and Medina was the pretext of expansion of the Haram expansion of the Haram can happen without having to destroy your historical places like the way we see in Karmalaa in the نجة فلاشرف the grave of Abdullah the father of Rasool Allah Sayda Abdullah Al-Hashimi father of Rasool Allah he had a mosque he had a cover which was a separate place مزار his grave has now been demolished and has been made a part of the General Tawsi'a the General Tawsi'a expansion of the Haram more than that crime against humanity was said in the beginning the grave of Sayda Hawa mother of humanity along with Nabi Adam from the first human beings to be created her grave used to be in Jiddah a number of زوار whether they were going for امرح it would be almost part and parcel of the امرح or the Hajj trip that those who are landing inside of Jiddah would go to perform the Haram of Sayda Hawa in fact Jiddah was named after her جده يعني جده جده يعني grandmother grandmother is in she's the our mother the first woman to be created by Allah is it not a point of fahr with the destruction of Sayda Hawa this is why we say that the day of جنة الباكي should be a day for all Abrahamic fates with the Christian with the Jew Hawa is revered or is supposed to be revered at least keeping aside distorted text at a time where people questioned the origin of human beings do you not think it's important that the grave of the first human being to be created by God should be a place of Mazar that stands out and shines out these are the crimes of Ali Saud the destruction I think I've almost finished my time maybe I will take five minutes extra Insha'Allah if there is no harm in this more than this يا أحبائي the consequences of the demolition of جنة الباكي the destruction has been used which happened in 1925 and before that in 1801 has been used as a justification by satellite terrorist groups to destroy historical and religious sites inside of Iraq inside of Syria and across a number of places in North Africa even if they are Sufi shrines the fact that they are shrines that represent some sort of religious importance they should be preserved even if they were Sufi Allah عزوة جال preserve the body of Fir'aun Samara was destroyed how many sites inside of Babel Christian sites have been destroyed inside of Syria حجاربني عدي for crimes that happened in 1925 you find because they were unaddressed because they were unchallenged to a great extent those crimes that happened in the past are now being used today to justify terrorist movement and terrorist actions and destructions and hence we say what happened in 1925 the roots that happened over there has an impact on what happens today in which we live standing up for جنة البقي standing up for humanity أحبائي what can we do what needs to be done from us number one diplomatic pressure through letters number one letters letters and emails to Saudi embassy how many shea are Muslims who have inside of the UK even though it might be the the commemoration of جنة البقي but most of them are in party mode because this is one challenge that needs to be addressed and to be honest because of its proximity towards aid a lot of people are in party mode and جنة البقي doesn't get that importance but what can be done from our side how many shea inside of the UK for example 5000 shea 5000 people to write an email to the Saudi embassy inquiries that I don't know whatever it is Saudi embassy.SA or whatever it is 2000 5000 emails every week do you think that not creates some type of pressure letters being sent in flood their mailbox even 5 minutes of our time to send an email we don't have send a letter we don't have the result whether it happens or not is not important what is important is the effort diplomatic pressure by conferences liaising with our local MPs putting forward our case to the UN if we could have an organization as great as this saving Muslim heritage to be a part of UNESCO and to push forward their agenda with UNESCO and you have an entire shea starting from the UK followed with Europe and the world backing this organization and movement forcing UNESCO to acknowledge جنة البقي as a historic site we don't need the money from Al-Assaud to reconstruct we'll sell our houses to build جنة البقي is a movement that can happen yes it can happen just depends on our determination more than that facilitating for academic discussions on the permissibility rather the obligation and I use this word very very carefully the obligation يعني وجوب from the Quran the وجوب of building tombs and structures over the graves of the Awliya this is a discussion on its own but we need to have can we prove this from the Quran can we prove this from the Hadith are we ourselves educated to be inside of debates when people come and ask us we need to equip ourselves internal movement amongst the shea to unite and to ensure that جنة البقي is made as the single greatest most major biggest priority of the shea building جنة البقي it has to happen if we are not concerned and not worried nobody will be concerned and worried for us publication of books and materials in regards to جنة البقي multiple languages show on show forth the list goes on I was asked to speak about Imam Hassan as well and I will not take too much of your time from here from the graves that were destroyed the graves of Imam Hassan المجتبا you know the importance of Imam المجتبا in three statements I try to summarize for you number one he was after Rasool Allah the first person to be under the Qisa in the event of Hadith al-Qisha you know everybody who came in under the Qisa and the event of Hadith al-Qisa this Tertib this chronology is not a chronology that happened by chance this is a Tertib ilahi the chronology is decided by Allah as-Zawajal with secrets behind them which is why you find when Jibraheel us Allah ومنهم تحت الكسا Allah سبحانه وتعالى by saying home Fatima وابوها وبألوها وابنوها they started with Fatima not with Rasool Allah why the chronology has as the significance has a secret aqaidi behind it Fatima center of Ahlulbayt same thing with Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba why was he the first one to be under the Hadith al-Qisha have you ever contemplated over it this is from the Fadail and there are secrets behind this this in itself is a lecture in its entirety number one number two Karbala is a companion of Imam Al-Hussain to a great extent majority if not all of them were products of the Tarbiyah of Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba Habib ibn Madahir a product of the tarbiyah of Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba Abis a product of the tarbiyah of Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba Imam Al-Mujtaba played a role in nourishing a group of Shi'a who would then be from those Ansar and the Habb of Imam Al-Hussain for the loyalty that you seen Habib the credit goes to Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba for the role that he played in nourishing Habib ibn Madahir in charge of the Bayt al-Mal during the time of Amir al-Mu'mineen this one individual who exposed Mu'awiya through the seas fire until Yomul Qiyamah Na'i Na'i is very heart breaking to recite the Masai for Jannatul Baki because as this one poet says he says I went to perform the Hajj and renew my bay'a of Tawheed towards Allah he said as I renewed my bay'a to the lord of the universe and confirmed in my belief in Tawheed I turned around to look at those individuals who spent their life assisting the prophet to establish Tawheed I went to the grave of Khadija the woman who spent all her wealth to the extent that when she died she doesn't or the prophet doesn't have enough money for the coffin of Khadija this lady Khadija whose coffin was brought down by Jibra'il from the heavens I look around and I cry Umul Mu'mineen where is your grave I see nothing but rubbles I go towards Madina I look at Bakir and I look at Sadiq the teachers of my faith I look at Mujtaba the one whose Janaza was shot by Arosh I look for Sajad the prisoner of Karbala where are your graves I see nothing but rubble I turn towards Umul Mu'mineen or Umul Mu'mineen I want to say thank you I want to say thank you Umul Mu'mineen for giving birth to a master like Abbas Abbas who gave his arms for Hussein Abbas who gave his arms for Sukena and for this Deen Umul Mu'mineen let me thank you where do I find the grave of Umul Mu'mineen they say from all these graves that were there in Janatul Bakir is the grave of Mohsin Al-Shahid Allah I want to come and I want to give condolences O Mohsin under what circumstances were you killed it is as if I am standing by the door of Fatima when the fear own of the Umma comes in he kicks the door upon Fatima crushing her between the door and the wall she cries out Ya'abata Ya'Rasool Allah how is the Umma treating me you Allah the narration mentions there are eight people who kicked Fatima in the stomach eight people kicked Fatima in the stomach Mohsin became Shahid and the daughter of the prophet broke her rib we pray to Allah to reward each and every one of us for holding this Majlis for the honor of the Umma of Jannahul Bakir we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى to make this project and to make this movement a successful movement Insha'Allah one that inspires us and inspires those who are not here we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى to hasten the reappearance of Mawlana صاحب العمر والزمان وآخر الدعوان أن الحمد لله رب العالمين يقولوا لا تعالى إن الله و ملائكة سلونا على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما
