 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen. Thumma Salatu wa Salamu Alaa Ashrafil Anbiya'i Muhammadan wa Aalihi Al-Tayyibina Al-Tahireen. Dear viewers, As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. All honor is mine to be amongst you discussing the holy verses of Quran and the commentaries of the holy Quran and the teachings of Ahl al-Bait al-Alihim wa As-Salaam and inshallah taking action plans and to be as practical inshallah as much as possible in bringing the verses of Quran into our lives. For just a quick reminder that the action plans that we have given before, if you remember, we discussed about reading of Quran on a daily basis. That was one of our action plans within our previous episode. Reading at least 50 verses of the holy Quran and then reading the translation and then taking one of those verses and then thinking and pondering about that verse. And then next to it we will have inshallah the book that we have introduced of narrations of Ahl al-Bait al-Alihim wa As-Salaam. Inshallah we will keep it next to us, inshallah we can request it and we will email it to inshallah through our email list of the narrations of Ahl al-Bait al-Alihim wa As-Salaam. We get inshallah to Surat al-Hamd. We discussed about Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem which our action plan was that inshallah everything we do we start with Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem and we believe in it. Then we get to Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen. Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen. All praise belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Lord of all the worlds. Start with Alhamdulillah. All praise belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We see it is very, very important for us to keep reminding ourselves. See it's all about reminder, reminder, reminder. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. It's all about reminding us. Why? Because shaytan keeps trying his best to deviate us to forget Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. To not to remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Oh, I remember also. Don't mention the book between parentheses. The book Tuhaf al-Aqool. It's the Ahadith of Ahl al-Bait al-Alihim wa As-Salaam. You'll email us and then we will send you. So going back it's all about reminder. Reading Quran, reading narrations. Keep saying Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem for every task. Right now insha'Allah our action plan today will be keep saying Alhamdulillah ar-Rahman al-Alamin. Every minute of our life saying Alhamdulillah ar-Rahman al-Alamin. Why? To remind us of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. To be connected with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. To be always thinking and remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Because this remembrance has a lot of benefits. A lot of benefits. A lot of benefits. If we keep remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We will see how much our life will be revolutionized. What Imam says. An-Abiyah Abdullah al-Alihim. This is in the book Kafi. Allah said Alhamdulillah allah ad-da shukraha. Any benefit and blessings that we have received from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Be it small or big. If we say Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah ar-Rahman al-Alamin. Al shukr allah. Alhamdulillah we have fulfilled the right of us thanking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Always remembering. Alhamdulillah all praise. Remembering it. It is very important for us to keep remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And being thankful for what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us. We forget. We completely forget how much blessing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has bestowed upon us. The person once was a story that one person was complaining that I don't have good shoes. And he was about to go somewhere and he came to the elevator. He saw a person next to him. He doesn't have his legs because of sickness or something. He didn't have his legs. He was sitting in a wheelchair. He started appreciating his legs that he has at least forget about shoes. Let the shoes be not good condition. At least I have my legs. It is recommended for us to visit the hospitals and see the needy people also. Visit the needy people. Help them. Why? Because when we go to the hospitals we see how much blessing Allah has given us. And that is for example, our health that many of us Alhamdulillah we are healthy. We have healthy body which we take it for granted. Our body, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has created us. That's a blessing. If we just think of our body, our face and our head, how much blessings we have only in our head. If we just sit from now until our end of our lives thanking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that's not enough. That's not sufficient. Only for our head, our heart, our body, all of our body parts. How many Alhamdulillah we have to say endless, countless. We have to remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and keep praising and praising and being thankful to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. For what he has given us. At least ten times a day, we remember Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Two times in the morning. And Zohra and Asr and Maghrib and Asha throughout our prayers. Is this sufficient? Not at all. Action plan will be. Insha'Allah from after the episode. between after one of our salawat either morning prayer or door prayer or asal prayer or maghrib or asha at the time that we have if we can take the sabha rosary put our head to go to sujood prostrate to Allah subhanahu ta'ala and say five times ten times thirteen thirty three times a hundred times alhamdulillah alhamdulillah and remember the blessings that Allah subhanahu ta'ala has given you it is very important to keep thanking Allah subhanahu ta'ala it's all blessings it's countless if we want to count the blessings that Allah subhanahu ta'ala has given us we can't Quran says you cannot count the amount of blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you alhamdulillah rabbal alameen all praise goes to Allah subhanahu ta'ala Imam says if I sent them fahmud Allah and if I ask them to ask for Allah if we did something good us being help able to help a needy person as being able to pray on time as being able to recite Quran as being able as a husband to help wife wife to help husband parents to help children children to help parents everything good that we do if I sent them fahmud Allah that's a Allah's blessing that we were able to do this good deed that we did if we didn't if he wouldn't create us if he wouldn't give us health if he wouldn't give us this ability if he wouldn't give us this knowledge we wouldn't be able to help and aid and do something good while that I said to him and he felt something bad right away fast after Allah ask forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alhamdulillah rabbal alameen kana rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi if something bad happened to him when rasulullah would something gets to him and some affair would happen makes him happy kala alhamdulillah anything I remember after reading this hadith long time ago every time that I enjoy a good food a good fruit for example alhamdulillah being in Iraq you get to eat a lot of good organic fruits from all different part of the world gets to Iraq when I eat a good pomegranate figs you name it orange and it's so sweet and so tasty after reading these narrations and hadith and verses with every bite I make sure remind myself to say alhamdulillah rabbal alameen that first of all he created number two he's giving me this blessing this orange a lot of people they don't have access they can they don't have money they cannot buy orange or pomegranate or figs or they don't have access to these foods he made the fruit so tasty I'm able to taste it I'm able to eat it I'm able to digest it I'm not allergic to it and many other with one eating one consuming of this fruit or food and many things it was in the presence of an ayatullah it was amazing that while we were eating food before every bite he would say he will take the bite he will eat chew it swallow alhamdulillah rabbal alameen and then he took another bite alhamdulillah rabbal alameen he eats, chews, consumes, he goes in alhamdulillah rabbal alameen before every bite he keeps reminding that I was able to take intake we have to sit and think of the blessings that Allah has given us before complaining before arguing before saying Allah why me I'm going to people I don't know why Allah is doing this to me I have so much problems I have so much difficulties let us be a little bit positive see how much blessings Allah has given us so if something would make Rasulullah happy he would say alhamdulillah I thank Allah on this blessing that he has blessed me and if something would happen to him which would sadden him he would say alhamdulillah alamdulillah in any condition so if something good would happen to him he would say alhamdulillah on this blessing that Allah has given me and if something bad would happen to him may not bad something to happen to him that made him upset and saddened he would say alhamdulillah thank to Allah in every condition that I'm in because the condition that I'm in it can be worse it definitely can something can happen that can be worse I'm sick I can get worse I don't have this it can be worse than this any condition that we are in there are always people who are worse in worse situation than us which I have to make us always be saying alhamdulillah rabbal alameen I lost my job well alhamdulillah rabbal alameen inshaAllah Allah will find me another job maybe this job wasn't good for me maybe he wants to open another door for me he wants to give me another opportunity but by me being in this job I won't be able to see the other opportunity so alhamdulillah rabbal alameen there's a small story where an individual was bringing he would go to the desert and bring wood sticks and he would sell them for people to cook food and stuff while he's carrying it he's saying oh Allah I see how much I have to go through a lot of difficulties I don't have any sustenance I don't have any res oh Allah open an opportunity for me do something for me I have to go work this hard to get these sticks and bring it back home it's so heavy it had he had it in a big fabric and he had a knot tied it and he was holding it suddenly one of the knots opened and all the sticks fell on the ground basically if it was us we would complain oh Allah I'm asking you to increase my sustenance open the door of your mercy more on me and you just open the knots you forgot to which which door to open you open the knots you didn't open the door of your mercy well he might have complained while he was collecting and he started digging and then finding some money some metal he started digging digging he found some treasure he opened it well and he was thankful afterward anything that happens to us any calamities that we face any difficulties that we face we have to say Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami because there's something greater is about to happen to us at the time of difficulties we should not at all complain we have to keep saying Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami at least 100 times a day some remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in sujood and say Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami remember the blessing that he has given you and then while you are driving to school driving to work while you are cooking food whatever that you're doing Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala it's very very important Imam Ali says anyone after receiving a blessing from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says Alhamdulillah he thanks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he concludes that ni'ma by saying Alhamdulillah Allah will basically give him more this act of him becomes the key for more Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will create more for him this will get him more and increase and when your Lord proclaims if we are grateful I will surely enhance you increase in blessings but if you are ungrateful my punishment is indeed severe Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami it's an honor for me to be amongst you it's an honor that I have to be thankful ever thankful to be able to discuss the teachings of Quran and Ahlul Bayt al-Alami it's an honor we have to be thankful for that it's a blessing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us so it's very important action plan Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Alhamdulillah Al-Ni'ma everything that happens Alhamdulillah good happens Alhamdulillah something upsets us Alhamdulillah everything everything we should remember to say Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami and we see how it changes our perspective from nagging and arguing and complaining and negativity to positivity that Allah you know my best you know what is good for me this sickness of mine it was for a good reason whatever that is that I lost my job I didn't have a good relationship whatever that is this door of opportunity it keeps closing and closing and closing well maybe he's closing different doors he's opening in a gate for you but we keep saying okay I need to go to this door this door that I need I want to go to this door oh Allah why did you close this door just look around it's a gate that is open for you that Allah wants you to go through a gate of abundance of blessings from him but we want to make sure go to a small door that we have got used to it Imam al-Sada Al-Alami all about remembering to say Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Imam al-Sada Al-Alami says what a beautiful narrations this comes all under the verse Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami and the meaning and the practical action that we need to take from Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami Imam says any blessings that you get you know it by heart that is from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala anything that happens to you you believe it you know it by heart you believe that it's from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami and he verbally says Alhamdulillah Al-Alami thanks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami you receive this you get these blessings you say Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami your words finished Allah will order to give you more Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami thanks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he has given us all that he has given us we are unworthy of it he didn't have to do this for us he didn't have to give us what he has given us but he gave us based on his mercy and action plan again will be Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami at least 100 times a day at the end of the day we take the tespih Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami that Allah created me Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami for the health Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami for the wealth Alhamdulillah for every body parts that is operating I'm breathing without me thinking about it my heart is beating without thinking about it imagine if we had to think about our heartbeats a lot of times we forget by us playing games or by us following the stock market or by us watching football or by us being entertained we forget about heartbeats but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has a mechanism has placed a mechanism in us that continues and a mechanism in the whole universe we start with our body and we continue saying Alhamdulillah Rabbi Al-Alami and insha'Allah we will conclude by reciting the most important du'a and asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to hasten your opinions of our beloved Imam Mahdi Adulla Allah ta'ala Faraj Al-Sharif Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem Allahumma kulli wa liyika Al-Hujjat ibn
