كتابه الكريم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فسادوا في البر والبحر بما كسبت ومدوال محمد النظر صلاوات for the love of the Ahl al Bayt عليهم السلام الله صلى الله عليك وثلاثة صلاوات for the love of أبا عبد الله والسلام الله نحن في عام رليجيس وفollowing رليجيس ليس نور يعني أنه إذا كنت تعتقد أنك رليجيس ورعا أنك تريد رليجيس ستجدك من المنور إذا كنت رليجيس كنت مجرد رليجيس وحوالي عن رليجيس الإسلام وحوالي عن كل رليجيس اليوم رليجيس صلى الله عليه وسلم بشراء لديهم مرحبا تجمع رليجيس رليجيس ورعا رليجيس ورعا أنك تريد رليجيس يكون رريجيس رليجيس لزأ إذا أنك تريد أن تحدي برات رليجيس تردج من المنور بشراء إذا أن يوجد أولا أقل من يقولون أنهم لا يريدون أن يكون لديهم أي شيء مع أي رلجن و أي رلجيس و هذه البلداء الآثيين أو الذين يعتقدون themselves أنهم لا يفعلون بأي رلجن إنها مجموعة مجموعة و مجموعة في السبب 7 سنوات فقط في السبب 7 سنوات البلداء الآثيين أو الذين يعتقدون themselves لا يفعلون بأي رلجيس لديهم مجموعة من 16% إلى 23% في السبب الأمريكية هذه البلداء لديهم مجموعة و نرى أن أي شخص يعتقدون themselves رلجيس أو wants to be a part of a religion يجب أن يجد مجموعة و مجموعة رلجيس مجموعة رلجيس يجب أن يتنسون بأي رلجيس فقط في السبب 8 سنوات البلداء الآثيين و يجب أن يجب أن يجعل so many concessions يجب أن يجب أن يجد a system so that people remain catholic so that people stay worshiping according to the Catholic establishment أخرين أمريكيين are also losing in numbers and participants و نرى أن تظهر that the religion of Islam although the number is growing day after day and year after year in population but we see that the ones who are actually religious Muslims they are decreasing Islam is growing by number Islam is growing by quantity but it's not growing by quality and we see that people are leaving religions for two main reasons the first reason is that they say we have seen so many bad things from people that claim to be religious I see this person, he did this this Catholic priest he did this he was abusing the children so I'm not going to join the Catholic church this one this cheikh here he said this to me the other day and I'm not going to become a Muslim anymore and people bring excuses because of actions of individuals and this is although it sounds funny but this is very common you ask people why don't you go to the church why don't you go to the masjid why aren't you a part of a religion yes because this and this they point out stories of individuals now this doesn't make sense let me say I don't believe in the government because one or two of the politicians they're corrupt so therefore I don't believe in the whole system of the government this doesn't make sense but we see that people continue to do this and also some people blame they say look at religious you see people who claim to be religious look at the fighting the wars the bloodshed and insha'Allah in the upcoming nights I'm going to be talking about shari'Allah and religious extremism and we will speak about this issue but many people they point out to this issue they say religious people look at them all they're doing is fighting I don't want to be a part of this religious system as if it's only the religious people that are fighting it's as if no one else is fighting with one another it's only the ones who claim to be religious and then on the other hand you find the media the environment the public atmosphere the universities they are preaching against any established religion not only Islam anyone who considers themselves religious they will find difficulties and challenges attending the university here in the united states and in the west I've heard from people and I've seen this I've heard from a friend he was telling me that he was in a class as soon as he went in the class the professor he told the first day of the class the professor he asked the students who of you believes in God so the ones that believed in God they raised their hands and he told them why do you believe in God and he began to refute their arguments one after the other this is the first day of class starting off the class by teaching people to turn against God and turn against any religious establishment and the problem is that this is the first this is the first argument the first argument people say I don't want religion and the second they say that you see the problems that religion is causing and then they come and they say religion is irrelevant religion today we don't need to have religion we live in a time where religion is not necessary anymore people used to believe people used to pray at a time where they wanted their crops to grow and they saw someone who was sick they don't know what kind of a disease this person has this person is just dying day after another they don't know what's wrong with this person so they pray now we have technology we have medicine we have sent people to space we have all of this advancement in technology and in science and in medicine there's no need for God there's no need for religion now how do we answer this my dear brothers and sisters the religion of Islam is a very logical religion and everything has to make sense in the religion of Islam if you hear someone sitting on the member and saying something that does not make sense go and question that person go and tell that person bring me the proof this is the beauty of the religion of Islam and specifically the شيع صول of thought نحن أبناء الدليل we are following the proof we follow the حجة if someone does not convince you does not bring you حجة then you have to go and ask for a حجة because on the day of judgment الله سبحانه وتعالى is going to tell you why did you take that path I need to answer why for example why am I following I need to know I need to know the proof of the Imamah so that I can answer so we have to bring an answer a logical answer because this religion is a very logical religion and when someone comes and brings an argument against your religion against your foundations against your belief system you have to be able to answer how many of us are remain quiet how many of us are not able to answer when someone comes and questions my faith and criticizes my belief system the problem is not with my belief system the problem is with me when I'm not able to answer because the prophet he came and he justified the Qur'an justified we have the حجة we have the proof so this is the first argument some people they say we don't see that religion is relevant religion is not necessary we don't need religion right now I have money if anything happens to me I go to the doctor the doctor is able to cure me we have advanced in science and in technology and here this is where you see the human being how arrogant this human being can become this human being who is hurt very easily one bacteria one bacteria could kill a person one small bacteria that you can't even see but then you see this same human being as soon as he has a few dollars in his bank account he's driving a nice car this person becomes so arrogant that he becomes arrogant even with his own creator even with Allah سبحانه وتعالى الذي جمع مالا وعددة يحسب أن ماله أخلده he thinks that his wealth is going to make him live for eternity he thinks everyone else will die but he will not die this is the human being there's a hadith it says that why are you so arrogant oh human your start was from a clot of semen and your end is going to be a jifa you're going to be you're going to rot and in between you're carrying the jasat with you you're carrying filth with you and then you come and you consider yourself so arrogant you consider yourself so powerful first of all the knowledge the science the knowledge that we have is that enough to prove that we don't need God anymore first of all you ask any scholar to ask any scientist because the religion of Islam doesn't have a problem with science like you see other religions there's no contradiction between education and science and the religion of Islam there should be no contradiction because Allah is the creator and he created that system that the scientists are using so there is no problem you find in other religions they have grudges and they have a problem with science the religion of Islam doesn't but today you go and you ask any scholar any scientist they'll tell you that what we do not know is much more than what we do know and this is a proven fact there's more that we do not know in this life than what we do know so is this enough proof to come and say I don't worship God anymore because I have a little portion of knowledge in my head is that enough and second the ones who say religion is not relevant anymore has the technology that we have built the medicine that we have reached has it stopped people from dying has the technology helped people or have we seen that it is causing more bloodshed because before people used to fight it used to be a fight with swords one person kills another person now one person he's sitting in Minnesota or in one country he's flying a drone that is bombing people in Yemen and Arab and Syria and Afghanistan it kills hundreds of people this technology it's a good thing but when it's used in a bad way that means there's a problem that means we still need someone to show us the way and then being religious for the ones who say it's not relevant go and look at the studies go and look at the institutions that are not there are secular institutions they have done studies that show that following a religious system following a religious belief system is much better for your life than not following a religious system and this is a study by the American Journal of Epidemiology this is the study of epidemics study of when an epidemic kills people they've or people fall sick they've done the study and they say that joining a religious group does more to someone's sustained happiness this person ultimately they will be happier sustained happiness than other forms of social participation so you join a religious group or you go and join a yoga class which one will help you more to feel more happy it is the religious group and second the study found religion led to the greatest mental benefits and it also lessened depression depression how many people suffer from depression in the society the solution is religion the solution is following a system now someone might say how it's not something very difficult to comprehend because Allah سبحانه وتعالى created us in this way Allah سبحانه وتعالى created us so that we worship so that we follow that system Allah says in the Quran the body of the human and the spirit of the human it's created so that it worships Allah سبحانه وتعالى this is how we are programmed this is why you see that when you are praying you will feel satisfied when you are worshiping when you are reading whenajad you will feel at peace and that peace nothing else will bring it other than that reconnection with Allah سبحانه وتعالى no money, no wealth no fast car no lifestyle other than being religious because Allah says بذكر الله إنه القلوب it is only through the remembrance of Allah only through a connection with Allah that the hearts will find peace and furthermore for the ones that say religion is not relevant you see that if you make a mathematical calculation if you use logic you will see that religion is better off than not having religion this is letting alone that religious people are happier, they don't go through depression and all these other things that studies show having the religion increases the chances of success and this has an argument that philosophers use and this argument was used by Imam Sada with one of the one of the atheist of his time this man came to the Imam and he was arguing he was an atheist he was arguing the existence of Allah سبحانه وتعالى with the Imam after arguing for hours and hours the Imam told him okay let's say you win let's say there is no God I go I worship it's not going to harm me I'm going to live a religious lifestyle and of course when I follow the obligations that Allah has sent for me this is something for me to live this is a way for me to live a happier lifestyle for example Allah says do not cheat, do not steal, do not abuse do not backbite is there something wrong with that living with that lifestyle do not kill this is the system that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given me I'm going to live that style and you're going to live your lifestyle of not worshiping and you're going to do whatever you want there's no moral system for you you could do whatever you want this is let's say if you were right now let's say I was right you know you're not 100% sure that there's no God there is a chance that there is a God but then I will have eternal paradise an eternal bliss while you will have eternal suffering and if you compare this life with the eternal afterlife which one is greater so if there is no God you will only have this life but if there is a God I will have this life and I will have the afterlife and this today philosophers they call this Pascal's wager of course this argument was used by Imam Sadab over a thousand years ago so this is the first the first reply to the first argument that religion is not relevant anymore the second argument that is used by many atheists is that look at all the suffering that you see in the world today all that suffering all that bloodshed all this evil in the world how can you say there is a merciful Lord when there is so much suffering when there is so much crime when so many people are unhappy how can you even say that there is a Lord when there is so much evil in the world and we see that this is a legitimate argument and we see that sometimes even some Muslims even some believers for example someone a lady her son was killed her son had a disease and died or something happened you see some religious people some believers they start questioning and they start saying why does this have to happen to me I pray I worship I go to Hajj why is this happening to me and no one else we see that even sometimes some religious people ask this in order to to comprehend this we have to look at a few steps and a few answers first Allah سبحانه وتعالى we have to comprehend the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ورحمة وسعة كل شيء الله سبحانه وتعالى says my mercy has encompassed everything and Allah سبحانه وتعالى does no evil to anyone and Allah سبحانه وتعالى he is the source of mercy in our life and he is the merciful and the hadith says that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has rahma there is 99% of his rahma Allah سبحانه وتعالى has saved it to be used on the day of judgment and 1% of that rahma Allah has allowed it to take place on earth and that 1% you see the mother showing mercy towards her child you see the mercy between one another the love and the compassion and the humanity within people who placed that within them who programmed us to all view that oppression is wrong if we were all created by chance how do I know and a million other people and 6 billion other people we all agree that oppression is wrong we all agree that cheating and abusing people is something immoral and wrong how do we all know that we know that because this is how Allah programmed us this is how Allah built us this is how Allah created us so Allah سبحانه وتعالى created us all and he gave us that fitrah that innate disposition we all are created with that fitrah to know this is right this is wrong to know that good doing good acts of charity is something good every human being will tell you this and even the ones who do not they know that what they are doing is wrong but they try to justify it in one way or another the problem it's not with Allah the problem is when someone does not use that mercy that Allah equipped him with the problem is when that mercy is taken out of someone's heart so evil it's not a creation evil is the absence of good Allah سبحانه وتعالى created mercy and good but when someone does not use that good when someone does not apply that mercy then they will be doing evil so Allah سبحانه وتعالى did not create evil evil is the absence of good and Allah سبحانه وتعالى programmed us all to have that good and we see that Allah سبحانه وتعالى he is compassionate even with the ones who do not even believe in him even with the ones who do not even believe in him there's a story a hadith about the life of Prophet Ibrahim Prophet Ibrahim he was a he was a believer in God and one of the acts that he was doing to get closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى was that every day before he eats he would go and stand outside his house and he would invite people to come and eat with him he would invite people to come and eat with him and the hadith says that this is one of the ways that Ibrahim became خليل الله the friend of Allah it's by feeding other people Allah loves to see someone feed do good show rahman show mercy to other people so Ibrahim everyday he used to feed people one day a man came and sometimes Ibrahim because he was living in a time that sometimes he goes and stands on the road and no one comes so he has to wait until someone passes by one day a man came Ibrahim found him and took him by his hand and he came to his house he had the food ready in front of him Ibrahim said بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم that man he did not say anything so Ibrahim told him you're not going to say بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم you're not going to acknowledge God the man said I don't believe in God Ibrahim told him how do you not believe in God and he kept trying to prove to him the man said no I don't want to believe in God Ibrahim at that moment he told him that you're not going to eat with me you're not going to eat with me the man said you invited me to eat with you and now you're telling me not to eat and he left after the man left Ibrahim came down and he tells him Ibrahim Allah says I have been feeding this man his whole life and he does not acknowledge me now one time you had the chance to feed this person and you refuse to feed this person I have been feeding him his whole life every breath everything that he has is from Allah and you refuse to feed him once this is the mercy of Allah so Allah does not want injustice and oppression to anyone to anyone who asks to anyone who asks to anyone who does not know Allah is the one who gives the ones who do not ask him and the ones who do not know him this is Allah in another story another hadith Prophet Noah Prophet Noah he lived with his people for 950 years Allah says in the Quran he lived with his people for 950 years he would call upon people to believe in Allah سبحانه وتعالى they would close their ears and they would cover their eyes so that they do not see Prophet Noah inviting them toward Allah the hadith says that after 300 years after the first 300 years Prophet Noah he raised his hand he said oh Allah bring your punishment upon these people now imagine he was patient for 300 years and then he does a dua Allah tells him and this is a reminder for us because sometimes we are not patient for 3 minutes Prophet Noah was patient for 300 years Allah tells him oh Noah be patient be patient there is a chance maybe we will still guide these people the second time he asked was another 300 years so now he is with his people for 600 years he has been telling them believe in Allah leave these idols worship Allah this is a better lifestyle for you he is telling you Allah is going to give you paradise he is going to give you a blessing of a rain that will grow your crops they continued to close their ears and ignore him so now 600 years he has been calling them finally Prophet Noah he raises his hand and he says oh Allah bring I have been calling them for 600 years here the hadith says here Allah told Prophet Noah oh Noah I want you to go and create and make clay pots go and make pots out of clay so Prophet Noah without questioning why this is the order of Allah he goes and he takes some mud and he makes and then he has to wait for them to dry of course they didn't have the technology that they have right now it's a hard process he sits he waits for them to dry and then he tells Allah oh Allah I'm finished after a few days or a few weeks Allah سبحانه وتعالى tells him oh Noah go and destroy them Noah tells him oh Allah you told me to make these pots now you're telling me to destroy them here Allah told him oh Noah you want me to punish these people I made them I created them I created them you want me to just punish them because you're not happy with them and then he waited another 300 years then after 900 years of being with his people he did a dua Allah accepted his dua and then it took him 50 years 950 years he was with his people this is the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so Allah doesn't punish people just very quickly Allah doesn't punish people just because they're not believing in him because you see many people do not believe in God and they're very well they're very healthy there's nothing wrong with them when does Allah punish when does the adab come from the eyes of Allah there are some things that are more severe than other things one of the things that is severe is when you oppress another group of people Allah says in the Quran اهلكناها لما ظلموا these villages. الله speaks about the people of Prophet Luwab قوم عاد قوم ثمود. الله says these villages we brought down the wrath of Allah upon them لما ظلموا once they became oppressors. once it led to oppression و الله سبحانه وتعالى will not allow oppression to go without justice الله سبحانه وتعالى sometimes you see he waits the hadith says Allah waits but he does not let go and he does not forget so punishment sometimes comes upon a group of people عداد comes upon a group of people but it's because they have oppressed themselves it's once they have abused themselves ظهر الفساد في البر والبع بما كسبت ايد الناس فساد the problems and the evil emerged on earth بما كسبت ايد الناس it's what people have done to themselves and this is the human nature today why is there poverty didn't Allah allow food to grow for everyone why is there shortage of water didn't Allah bring water for everyone why are there people being killed didn't Allah give everyone life didn't Allah give everyone the breath didn't Allah give us and show us mercy at a time where no one was there for us there was a time that no one knew about me when I was in the womb of my mother who was sending that nourishment to me who was providing for me at that time wasn't it Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah gives but you see the human being it's so arrogant it's such a criminal that with one push of a button they will exterminate thousands of people Allah سبحانه وتعالى created this human to live وَلَقَدْ كَرْوَنَّا بَنِيْعَدَمْ but it's the actions of people that bring death and that bring crime and that bring oppression to other people but of course we the humans we only want to take credit and then if something bad happens right away Allah did this it's not us we just know how to blame other people but we only want to take credit when something good happens Allah سبحانه وتعالى punishes a group of people when they have allowed oppression within their selves and within their society now someone might come and say where's the mercy of Allah why does Allah allow oppression to take place why does Allah allow a volume to oppress other people here Allah سبحانه وتعالى has a system Allah has a system and he created us with that system first of all Allah gave us all the intellect Allah gave us the ability to choose in life إما شاكرا وإما كفورا and then if Allah is going to intervene every time there's oppression then how is he going to be able to distinguish from the good and the bad how is he going to reward someone if Allah didn't allow for example someone to oppress another people قابل to oppress Habil how are we going to know how is Allah going to distinguish and judge between the people Allah سبحانه وتعالى sent prophets He sent messengers He gave us the logic and the fitrah He programmed within us for us to know what's wrong and what's right but then Allah is not going to come and interfere every time there's oppression because otherwise then Allah will be forcing us we will be robots do this, do that where's the test where's the karma of the human being one of the ways that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has honored us is by giving us the ability to choose and make decisions in life another another reason why there is suffering sometimes is because Allah سبحانه وتعالى is testing us sometimes Allah is not bringing down the عذاب upon a group of people but he is only testing that group of people and Allah mentions in numerous verses in the Qur'an احسب الناس اي يتركوا اي يقولوا امنا وهم لا يفتنون do people think that they will be left alone they just say I believe in Allah and they will not be tested the day of Ashura we are gathered to remember Imam Hussein the day of Ashura there were two prayers there was one prayer in the camp of Imam Hussein and there was another prayer in the other camp anyone can say I believe anyone can say I'm believing in Allah سبحانه وتعالى but sometimes you have to make decisions in life sometimes we have to make difficult decisions in life and this is the fitnah this is the test that Allah سبحانه وتعالى test us with in another verse Allah says if Allah doesn't test us how are we going to know who is the good person who is a role model who is not a role model everyone will be the same what's the point Allah سبحانه وتعالى he is the gafoor he is the ra'im but Allah is also the adin Allah is also just and this is something that we have to believe in there's a justice system and Allah is the judge and third sometimes I may look at something as suffering but in fact it's not suffering I may look at something Allah is testing me this is a form of suffering for me but in reality in the eyes of Allah this is not suffering in the eyes of Allah Allah سبحانه وتعالى wants to raise you Allah wants you to be at a higher level when you are taking your tests in your university or in your school do you consider that suffering no this is an opportunity for you to grow this is an opportunity for you to get a higher degree and become a better person some people they sign up for a test and they are happy when they are allowed to take the test same with Allah سبحانه وتعالى sometimes when Allah tests us this is a sign that Allah loves us this means that Allah wants us to grow Allah wants me to become a better person Allah does not want to just reward me the simple reward Allah wants me to be to have a higher level in paradise and this is why we see that the NBA the prophets of Allah they were the ones that were tested the most difficult tests don't look at the lives of the prophets Allah mentions them in the Quran Prophet Yusuf he was tested he was separated from his father he was tested Prophet Yaqum Prophet Zakaria he was cut up by the by the saw by his people بني إصرائيل they cut him up Prophet Yahya was beheaded Prophet Musa was tested رسول الله صلى الله عليه و عليه says ما أوذي النبي مثل ما أوذي no prophet has been harassed and abused the way that I have been abused so sometimes الله سبحانه و تعالى test us and that test it's not a form of suffering but it's a form where Allah سبحانه و تعالى wants me to have a higher level in paradise Imam Ali عليه السلام he says in a hadith إن البلا للظالم أدب the bala the suffering for the oppressor it's a form of discipline and then he says و للمؤمن امتحان but for the believer it's a test و للأنبياء درجة and for the prophet it's so Allah elevates them and raises them و للأولياء كرامة and for the أولياء the believers and the مؤمنين it's a form of blessing الله سبحانه و تعالى it's blessing them this is why when we go and we look at the أهل البيت عليهم السلام when we look at the إمامs we see that every time the test was getting more difficult and more difficult they were feeling more spirituality they were getting closer to الله سبحانه و تعالى إمام الحسين on the day of أشورة he was feeling that he had an opportunity to get closer to Allah سبحانه و تعالى as the suffering became more severe he was glowing and he was feeling that he is reaching الله and being able to offer something to Allah that no one else can offer every time one of his children one of his companions would be killed إمام الحسين عليه السلام he would say هوا نما نزل بي أنه بعين الله what has made this مصيبة what has made this suffering easy for me is that الله is the judge الله is watching and when الله is watching الله will reward you so do not give up hope do not give up hope in the mercy of Allah سبحانه و تعالى or in the justice of Allah سبحانه و تعالى ultimately justice will prevail as long as you believe in Allah سبحانه و تعالى and when we look at the adabate when we even look at the children of imam الحسين you don't need to go and look at the adults look at the five year old daughter of imam الحسين look at the young children of imam الحسين go and read the narrations of the maghaten go and read the events that took place on karbala not one time will you see one child of imam الحسين say why is this happening to us why does this happen to us and not anyone else these little children this is the family of رسول الله that Allah سبحانه و تعالى wants to raise them so he test them so he brings them closer to him through the testing say the زيناب عليها السلام عندي ديف عشورات she goes to the body of imam الحسين عليها السلام that body that it was so disfigured that even سكينة the daughter of imam الحسين she could not tell who زيناب was speaking to she couldn't tell there's no head there's no clothes it's filled with wounds say the زيناب عليها السلام she goes to the body and she says one word that remains throughout time and it never dies throughout time she goes she places her hands under the body of أبا عبدالله and she raises that body and she says الله هم تقبل مننا عالي محمد oh Allah except from us the sacrifice of عالم محمد this is the patients this is the أهل البيت عليهم السلام they take say زيناب and the women and the children to the palace of أبا عبدالله زياد over there he has the head of imam الحسين in front of him and he is hitting the head of imam الحسين he tells her كيف رأيتي صنع الله بأخيكي وأهل البيتكي كيف رأيك ما الله has done to your brother الله did this to your brother he tells زيناب الله did this to your brother what does زيناب answer at that time where they are all the men in the family have been killed there is no one with them other than زينا العابدين what does زيناب answer she says ما رأيت إلا جميلة all I saw was beauty ما رأيت إلا جميلة هؤلاء قوم كتب الله عليهم القدن فبرزوا إلى مضاجعهم وسيجمع الله بينك وبينهم فتحاج وتخاصم فانظر لمن الفلج يوم إذن ثكلتك اللهم صل والله حكود وصل مام الحسين علاهاسلام殿 لام الحسين they were tested in the most difficult test Does this mean that الله سبحانه وتعالى was angry with them Does this mean that الله wants to oppress them No الله سبحانه وتعالى wanted to raise them and because of their actions on that day because they passed that test you know you know الله سبحانه وتعالى يجعل إبراهيم المقامل الإمامة ويجعل إبراهيم المقامل إبراهيم المقامل الإمامة now you go and you look at the Bala of إمامة الحسين who actually sacrificed his sons one after the other isn't this بلا أعظم isn't this sacrifice much more difficult than that of إبراهيم عليه السلام now imagine the position that إمامة الحسين has my dear brothers and sisters my time is almost up and on a night like this we remember أم والبنين that wife of أمير المؤمنين after the martyrdom of فادمة الزغراء عليه السلام أمير المؤمنين he married أم والبنين and there's a story we will mention that on the day we remember أب الفضل العباس however that lady the honorable lady أم والبنين she raised she took on the responsibility of raising the children of أم والبنين and she raised them not as step children but she raised them as the imams she raised them showing them love Allah سبحانه وتعالى he gave her also four children he gave her four children but she would always favor the children of فادمة over her own children because these children حسن and حسين زيناد and they are connected to رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله so أم والبنين would favor them but you know that lady أم والبنين on one day she lost her own children and the one who she saw greater than her own children إمام الحسين عليه السلام when the caravan أفبني هاشم came back to مدينة they came back without the man without إمام الحسين without أب الفضل العباس إمام زين العبدين عليه السلام he asked بشربني حدلم to enter مدينة and more نبع عبد الله بشربني حدلم he entered مدينة and he began to cry يا أهل يثرب لا مقام لكم بها oh people of مدينة مدينة is not a city to live in anymore they told him ما الخبر و what has happened he tells them ما الخبر عند قبر رسول الله I will give you the news next to the grave of رسول الله they go over there and he tells them what has happened then he says I saw a tall lady she came she was carrying a child she came she seemed to be confused she says او ناعي او من who is crying and mourning tell me what has happened حسين he says I asked who is this lady they told me this is أم والبنين the mother of عباس and their brothers of عباس so he said I told her for the loss of your son جعفر she says do not tell me about جعفر tell me about my son حسين he tells her أم والبنين she went to give her condolences to sayyada zaynab عليها السلام she asked to go and see zaynab zaynab was like her daughter she goes she knocks on the door they say أم والبنين is in the door sayyada zaynab she goes and she welcomes her sayyada zaynab she looks at zaynab she says is that you zaynab zaynab was unrecognizable after only 4 months a few months of traveling because of what has happened to them she tells her انتي زيناب اسلام الله أم والبنين عليها السلام she would go to the بقيع and she would stand and she says اسألوك الله ام وندعوك باسمك العظيم الاعظم الاعجر الاجل الاكرب يا الله قلب القلوب ثبت قلوب اللهم اخفر للمؤمنين والمؤمن لاحياء منهم والأموات تابع اللهم بيننا وبينهم بالخيرات انك مجيب الدعوى الخضيئات انك ماح السيئات انك على كل شيء فدير وصلى الله على محمد وان محمد
