 Amazing. Well done, Mustafa Ali. Thank you so much for that recitation. Really, really appreciate your time. And now we're at the part of the show where to kick off our guests. And as you've seen, we're going to be joined by brother Ibrahim Al-Ansari, who's going to be doing the daily du'a segment of the show. It's the first episode, so brother Ibrahim, as-salamu alaikum. As-salamu alaikum. How are you today? Alhamdulillah. We are good. We're doing fine. Thank you very much. We're doing fine. We're very excited to have you on the show. Excited to be here again. We remember some good times from our last series. And so for this is the first of many episodes, insha'Allah, we're going to be joined by some enlightening and invigorating kind of discussions about du'as, ziyaras, and supplications. Insha'Allah to meet your good thoughts, insha'Allah. Insha'Allah, brilliant. So Zahra, today we're going to be focusing on the birth of Sayyid al-Fatima Zahra, al-Ansari. As-salamu alaikum. Lady of light. And there is a particular part of the du'a that you've chosen. So tell us first and foremost what is the actual du'a or the ziyara that you've chosen and the specific parts that we're going to be discussing today. Insha'Allah, definitely. First of all, congratulations to you and to the Islamic Ummah on the birth anniversary of Fatima al-Zahra. Now this extract that I chose is actually from the ziyara of Fatima al-Zahra, al-Ansari. Now instead of telling you from which part it is, I actually want to get to that after we recite it just because I feel like even the exact position of it within the ziyara plays a big effect within the status of Fatima al-Zahra herself as well. So insha'Allah if we can get to that after we recite it. Okay, definitely. So do you want to, should we go through the recitation now? Yes, insha'Allah. Allahumma Salaam. Thank you so much. It's beautiful. So you mentioned that even this particular extract in the position of the entire ziyara, there is a significance behind that. Yes, now when you look at this specific extract, usually if I was to look at this extract without having seen the ziyara before, my guess would be it would be amongst the middle towards the end whereas it is in fact the very first lines of the ziyara, the very, very first lines of the ziyara. And now it is amazing. People might be asking why is that still amazing? It's because when we look at ziyara, when we recite our salutations to the imams, we usually start with As-salamu alaika Rasulullah. As-salamu alaika Ya'aba Abdullah. As-salamu alaika Amir al-Mu'mineen. This one, it goes straight into Ya Mumtahana. And of course this is narrated from Imam Al-Baqar, Ali of the Rasulati was-Salaam. When he comes to speak about his grandmother Fatima to Zahra and before he sends his salams to her, he says Ya Mumtahana. What is he trying to tell us? There's something very big about this word. There must be something very big about this thought that he even put it before his salams upon his grandmother. When we look at what it truly means, Mumtahana means a tested one, a trialed one. Now the moment I think, why would he look at Fatima to Zahra as a trialed one? Aren't we all trialed? Do I not have a trialed? Do you not have a trialed? They're all trialed. Every single human on earth, part of our life is that we are going through imtahan, through a trial. Then he carries on. The one that created you, with the imams is very beautiful how they say their words. They add these lessons, they add these parts of tawheed, they add these parts of Allah SWT. He makes sure that he emphasizes Allah SWT, the one who created you, created this amazing being. Before he created you. Now this is one of many parts which are the great sayings of Fatima to Zahra because when the ulamas look into this, they say that unlike any single one of us, in fact, let's put all of us to the side. Unlike the Prophet SAW, we are all trialed in this world. We are all given our ibtila during this world. Whereas Fatima to Zahra, during alam and dhar, which is before we were created, Allah SWT brought her to the throne. He said these are the trials that you will face during your lifetime. Then what does the imam answer? He found you patient. So Fatima to Zahra, in fact, showed true submission to Allah SWT and showed the patience that Allah SWT is required from the servant of Allah SWT before she was even created. So was her trial knowing that these were her trials in this world or did she have other trials there? No, so Allah SWT told her, Fatima, when you are going to be created from day one until the day that you pass away, until the day that you meet me again, these are the trials that you will be facing. And she was patient. So for example with us, when we go through specific trials, if we are lacking, for example, our financial status is low during a specific time, we go through a trial of losing a loved one, your father, your mother. Allah SWT asks us to be patient. Do you thank Allah SWT in every single way possible? Fatima to Zahra did this before she was created. So it is one of many things that show her great status. The quality isn't it? Because I think as human beings, if we were told that even next week this could have happened to you, most people would be like panicking, losing their patience to understand that you could go through something. Because in the depth of a trial it is very difficult. So Subhanallah, how she, even at that point, before she was brought to this world, she knew about it and she took it with patience. It gives the, like you said, the reason behind why they are who they are. Because how many human beings can actually, creation can be patient in that time. It's also very interesting because you mentioned even before he even addressed Fatima Zahra, would always say, and I know it's the birth of Fatima Zahra, but we can't excuse or lead to the side the amount of tribulations or trials that she went. So it is definitely very, very interesting that the whole, the entire Ziyara starts with Ya Mumtahana. And only after this, and only after that does he send his salams to his friend, Mother Fatima Zahra. So going from the beginning, do you want to continue sort of explaining which extract you've actually, you know, the part that you've recited now. So the translation for people. So after that, after he says, He carries on to say And we claim to follow and to be patient and to believe in everything that your father and his wasi, so Imam Ali, brought towards us. So this is a claim that we make. Then he carries on with the Edo'a. We ask you if we have truly believed in you that you include us amongst those who believed in the prophet and Imam Ali so that we may give ourselves glad tidings that we have become pure in your willaya. Realize in your willaya. Not in the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen. Not in the willaya of Rasulullah. In your willaya. And in this specific thing where he says I find many amazing things. The way Fatima Zahra was addressed even in Hadith al-Kisa, for example. When Jibrail asks Allah SWT if he says to him Who is under the cloak? Allah SWT replies Fatima and her father Fatima and her husband Fatima and her children Now we know that usually in any language if someone wants to address if I want to say for example in a specific gathering who is there, I would start either with the eldest or with the one with the greatest status so for example a scholar and who is of the biggest status than Rasulullah SAW and he was the eldest in that gathering as well rather Allah SWT Allah, not the Imam this is even higher than the Imam Allah SWT refers to everyone who was in that household during that time in relation to Fatima Zahra We have just a couple of minutes left I just want for the benefit of the viewers the Ziara of Fatima Zahra where can we find it when should we recite it in any particular day, event how can we Now as for the Ziara of Zahra usually these Ziaras are found in Mafatih al-Janan a very beautiful book it has gathered all the Ziara and most of the Ziara I would say and it is of course found that in terms of when to recite it sending your salams to the Ma'asumin is always beautiful on any day of the week any hour of the day however of course it has greater blessings it is more appropriate to recite it for example on her birth occasion I will visit Fatima Zahra on her death anniversary because we have three different narrations for that so in every narration let's try to get closer to Fatima Zahra and for me personally I have a special connection with Fatima Zahra so personally I am always trying to recite my salams towards Fatima Zahra and asking for her aid during every step she is a beautiful personality and again we often don't do justice to these personalities because we think about immediately further they are pivotal examples in our history but her personality on its own is just amazing and it is beautiful that you have a connection with her because I know when you talk to people they have a member of our household they feel a connection with them so the fact it is with Lady of Light for you it is very beautiful but thank you so much I want to speak about the fact that the beginning is or the title is the trialled one and how that impacts in our lives but we have run out of time I think so maybe another time we can talk about that but thank you so much as ever and Inshallah we look forward to seeing you in the future mornings Inshallah So now we are going to be on to the second part of the show as you know Zahra is going to be joined by brother Bilal for the Specialist segment and that will be after a break
