يوم من المثل من المشاهد المشاهد من المشاهد يبدأ مع الهجرة من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من مكة مدينة وذلك هناك بعض أن يعتقد أن الهجرة من رسول الله ومجموعة رسول الله من مكة مدينة يحدث في محرم لأنه محرم في مجموعة is the beginning of the Hijri calendar يعتقد أن رسول الله مجموعة ومجموعة رسول الله من محرم سنجمع هذا ونقوم بعمل هذه المساعدة هناك بعض أن يسأل من هو أول who made the Hijri calendar أين يأتي من هجرة هجرة من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله هل يقوم بعمل هذه المساعدة أو أحد أخر؟ أيضاً هناك بعض أن يعتقد أن أول من محرم يجب أن يبقى لأنه أول يوم من العام يجب أن يبقى هذه المساعدة هل هذا صحيح؟ هل هذا يوم من المساعدة أو يوم من المساعدة أيضاً لأننا نتحدث عن هجرة the Hijri calendar and the migration of the migration of the Rasool Allah ما were the reasons that رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله migrated from Mecca to Medina هذا هو أول المساعدة من today's topic أول is that today we see on the news there's a mass migration there's a major wave of migration of people coming from Iraq from Syria and from other countries that are migrating to the west people are leaving by the thousands they're leaving their homes their country, their lands and they're moving to a new country some are leaving because of terrorism that has victimized them in their countries others are leaving due to oppression others are leaving due to poverty others are leaving due to the bad management of their countries for the many different reasons why they are migrating today we see tens of thousands that are leaving their countries and are moving to the west they're moving to Europe and other places other continents such migration number one it opens the door of opportunity it opens for them the doors of opportunity number two it also comes with challenges with opportunities come challenges and number three these people they have a lot of responsibility towards themselves and towards their children this is the second discussion that we will address and number three on the topic of migration we shall remember the one that migrated from Medina to Karbala the one who migrated with his family members his close companions his sisters and his daughters who left his hometown of Medina and who came to settle in the city of Karbala thus tonight we will divide our topic into three sections the first our topic is migration and Islam we shall give the first section to the migration of Rasool Allah the second section to the migration to the west and number three the migration of Imam Hussein and the loud salawat when did Rasool Allah ﷺ migrate from Mecca to Medina there are some that assume it's in Muharram but this is not correct yes the hijri calendar begins with Muharram and the hijri calendar begins with the migration of Rasool Allah ﷺ but was the migration in Muharram no according to most historians professional historians from both schools of thought Sunni and Shia schools of thought even orientalists that have talked about the biography of Rasool Allah ﷺ they mention that the migration of Rasool Allah was not in the month of Muharram rather it was in the month of Safar precisely on the 24th of Safar Rasool Allah ﷺ left Mecca and he arrived to Medina which was known as Yathrib when Rasool Allah ﷺ arrived and then it was named Medina later on Rasool Allah ﷺ arrived on the 8th he left Mecca on the 24th of Safar and he arrived Medina on the 8th of Rabi'a الأول now this proves to us that Rasool Allah ﷺ did not migrate in the month of Muharram this is very important there are some narrations that they have the Rasool Allah ﷺ arrived to Medina arrived to Yathrib on the 10th of Muharram and when he arrived on the 10th of Muharram which is Ashura he found Jews and Christians of Medina to be fasting he asked them why are you fasting on this day they said this is a day of holiday this is a day that Allah did this he did that he rescued Musa he rescued Ibrahim and they made a whole list they did okay since Jews and Christians they fast on Ashura we Muslims we will also fast on this day the day of Ashura you see they build this whole theory of fasting on Ashura on this premise that Rasool Allah ﷺ arrived on the 10th of Muharram on the day of Ashura while the correct history tells us that Rasool Allah ﷺ arrived on the 10th he did not even arrive in Muharram he did not arrive on Ashura send thus this whole idea of fasting on Ashura is all but a lie and it's a fallacy صلى الله عليه محمد وعلى محمد وعلى محمد وعلى محمد وعلى محمد who is the founder of the Hijri calendar who is the one that decided that the Islamic calendar will begin with the Hijra of Rasool Allah ﷺ was it Rasool Allah himself no Rasool Allah ﷺ did not set this calendar in fact during the days of Rasool Allah there was no calendar there were no dates the events there were known the years were known by certain events certain events Rasool Allah ﷺ which year was he born there is no number he was born on the year of the elephant عام الفيل the years were known by the not by numbers but by events عام الفيل عام الحزن the year that سيدنا أبو طالب I said that Khadija passed away it doesn't have a number the year that Rasool Allah ﷺ migrated was known as عام الهجرة the year of the peace treaty and حديبية was known as عام الحديبية the year of the conquest of Makkah عام الفت the year that Rasool Allah ﷺ performed his last حج عام الوداء عام حجة الوداء and so on and so forth during the life of Rasool Allah ﷺ there was no calendar there were no years so who made the Hijri calendar according to historians the one who who established the Hijri calendar was أمر بن الخطاب now how did this occur some historians they mentioned that أبو موسى الأشعري who was the governor of Basra at the time and this was 17 years after the Hijri of Rasool Allah ﷺ he complained to أمر بن الخطاب that the letters that you are sending me and I'm sending you they don't have dates thus I'm not sure did this letter come first or that letter come first because there's no dates here historians some historians they say that أمر بن الخطاب thought of establishing a calendar and beginning that calendar with the migration of Rasool Allah ﷺ from Mecca to Medina and these historians they say that أثمان بن عفان advised him to begin this Hijri calendar with محرام now this is one side of the story however when we come to the history أبو هل البيت yes yes we agree that it was أمر بن الخطاب that founded the Hijri calendar however it was because he saw the advice of أمير المؤمنين ﷺ أمر complained to أمير المؤمنين that we have a problem we need to set our dates أمير المؤمنين gave him the advice that the calendar should be set from the Hijra of Rasool Allah and it should begin with the month of محرام and it was one of these it was in one of these instances an incident that عمر was known for his famous quote لولا علي يون لهلك عمر if it was an Ali ibn Abi Talib عمر would have perished why did Rasool Allah ﷺ migrate from Makkah to Medina Rasool Allah ﷺ was born in Makkah he was raised in Makkah it was his it was his land it was his city and he loved Makkah لا أقسم بهذا البلد وأن تحلّن بهذا البلد Rasool Allah ﷺ loved the city of Makkah the day that he migrated it was a very difficult day it was a day that brought tears to the eyes of Rasool Allah ﷺ so why would he leave his city why would he leave his country for many of us that migrated and left our cities and our countries it was not an easy step it was not an easy day to leave our countries and hometowns so too for Rasool Allah ﷺ it was not easy but why you see Rasool Allah ﷺ had a mission his mission was to deliver the message of Allah to everyone to the entire world not just to the people of Makkah and Makkah people of Makkah were not receptive they did not listen to him only a handful of people listened to him they bothered him they persecuted him they heard him physically emotionally, psychologically him and his companions many of Rasool Allah ﷺ's companions were massacred they were killed Yasir, the father of Ammar Sumayah, the mother of Ammar they were among the first martyrs in Islam at the hands of Quraish at the hands of the people of Makkah Thus Rasool Allah ﷺ in Makkah was extremely limited there was only so much that he could do Quraish did not give him the opportunity to work in fact they came after persecuting after hurting after physically abusing Rasool Allah ﷺ they saw that Rasool Allah ﷺ is relentless there is nothing that they could do to make him stop delivering the message of Allah ﷺ they came to his uncle Abu Talib they told him ya Abu Talib tell your nephew that if he wants money you will give him money if he wants land you will give him land if he wants to be the king we will make him our king if he wants women we will give him the most beautiful of our women but tell him to stop this nonsense called Islam Abu Talib this loyal and believing uncle of Rasool Allah ﷺ and he tells him the message of Quraish here Rasool Allah ﷺ look at the the determination of Rasool Allah ﷺ he said والله يا عم لو وضع الشمسة في يميني والقمر في الشمالي على أن أترك هذا الأمر ما فعلته ما تركته حتى يظهره الله أو أمو تدونا by God I swear to you my uncle that if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand to give up meaning if they give me everything to give up this message to abandon this message unless until Allah shows Islam to the entire world or I die these are my two options that Allah shows Islam to the entire world or that I die otherwise I will not give up this message this is called determination my dear friends this is called working for Islam this is how the message of Rasool Allah ﷺ reached us today because of the determination of Rasool Allah ﷺ this is the message that we have to learn from Rasool Allah ﷺ yesterday I was with some brothers having dinner and we met a sister from this community in Montreal and I was told that the sister is extremely active in this community and she had said a quote she is famous for a quote saying that if you are a follower of أهل البيت you have to be tired when you fall asleep you have to be tired and I found this to be very inspirational I decided from last night that whenever I sleep I have to be extremely tired if I claim to be a follower of أهل البيت of course tired of one of working out or taking walks being tired of working for the sake of أهل البيت for delivering the message of أهل البيت for making sure that everyone knows about أهل البيت being tired of this this is being inspired by Rasool Allah ﷺ Rasool Allah ﷺ could no longer work in Mecca he was extremely limited in fact his movement was an underground movement he would meet with his companions and in other places it was an underground movement he could not make it public and on top of that in Mecca Rasool Allah ﷺ lost two main supporters two big supporters number one أبو طالب and number two خديجة these two supporters that stood with Rasool Allah ﷺ from day one they recognized him as a prophet they recognized him as a messenger they believed in him they were among the first to believe in him even though there are some that try to tell us that أبو طالب died as a kafir that died as a mushrik and that أبو طالب is burning in hellfire you know why they say this because he had a crime that crime was that he was the father of Ali ibn Abi Talib if Abu Talib was the father of Mu'awiya they would have heard of other things but because he is the father of Ali ibn Abi Talib they tell us that he is burning in hellfire and Abu Sufyan is enjoying himself in heaven you see what they tell us Rasool Allah ﷺ his two main supporters أبو طالب and خديجة and that year was known as عام الحزن the year of sadness on top of that the people of Medina they came and they accepted the message of Rasool Allah ﷺ they gave allegiance to Rasool Allah ﷺ a group of them they came and they gave allegiance Rasool Allah ﷺ said go back and bring me 12 men 12 men of you from the city of Medina each man were presenting one of the tribes in Medina indeed they came and they gave allegiance to Rasool Allah ﷺ and that allegiance was called عقبة it was then and there the Rasool Allah ﷺ decided of course as a command by Allah ﷺ to leave the city of Mecca and to go to Medina and Medina Rasool Allah ﷺ had doors of opportunity the people of Medina they welcomed Rasool Allah ﷺ unlike the people of Mecca who persecuted and abused Rasool Allah ﷺ the people of Medina were welcoming they welcomed Rasool Allah ﷺ they said go to Rasool Allah ﷺ it was in Medina the Rasool Allah ﷺ was able to establish the first mosque it was in Medina the Rasool Allah ﷺ was able to establish brotherhood among the Muslims it was in Medina the Rasool Allah ﷺ was able to establish an Islamic Government moving to Medina opened lots of doors of opportunity for Rasool Allah ﷺ صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم not only was Rasool Allah ﷺ required to migrate you see Rasool Allah ﷺ was ordered to migrate not only him but all the believers and all the mu'mineen in Mecca they were forced religiously it became wajib upon them to migrate from Mecca to Medina and Allah praises them He praises the migrants المهاجرين those who came with Rasool Allah ﷺ from Mecca to Medina and Allah praises those who were in Medina that welcomed Rasool Allah ﷺ that supported him that stood by his side we see in the Quran والذين آمنوا وهاجروا وجاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله الله praises the migrants those who left their cities those who left their homes their families, their businesses their wealth why only to migrate with Rasool Allah ﷺ to support Rasool Allah ﷺ since Rasool Allah ﷺ left they decided to leave with him this is one group and the other والذين آوا ونصروا أولائك بعضهم أولياء بعض and those who supported Rasool Allah ﷺ those who welcomed Rasool Allah ﷺ to Medina those who welcomed Rasool Allah ﷺ with open arms and treated Rasool Allah ﷺ like a family member those who stood by his side and were ready to take his cause and give him wives and give him money and give him lands الله praises both the migrants and the helpers the مهاجرين and the أنصار and on the contrary those who believed in Rasool Allah ﷺ those who believed in Rasool Allah ﷺ that yet you refused to migrate الله يسكول لهم now why didn't you migrate why didn't you leave with Rasool Allah ﷺ والذين آمنوا ولم يهاجروا ما لكم من ولايتهم من شيء حتى يهاجروا those who believed you did not migrate don't pay attention to them their belief is nonsense it has no value with their belief they had to migrate you see at that point migration became wajib it became a necessity it became an obligation don't welcome them until they come and migrate to you and we see that in the Quran الله praises those that were reluctant in the beginning they were reluctant they refused to migrate well obviously when you have your home your lands, your business it's not easy to leave all of this put it behind you and go to a place where you're a complete stranger you don't own a land you don't have a business it's a challenge it's a test yet Allah says those that were reluctant in the beginning yet then decided to migrate they too Allah will be pleased with them والذين آمنوا من بعدوا معاكم فأولاقة منكم those that believed and they migrated but after you they were reluctant but they migrated after you those two are considered with you from these verses we understand that migration sometimes can become an obligation sometimes you don't have a choice but to migrate but to leave your country and to go to another country it's not an option it becomes mandatory صلى الله عليه وسلم we read a verse in the Holy Quran الله سبحانه وتعالى scalds those that were able to migrate yet did not migrate and they died in humiliation they died out of oppression yes they were oppressed but they had the chance to migrate but they didn't migrate الله tells us أن الذين توفهم الملائكة ظالمي أنفسهم قالوا فيما كنتم قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الأرض قالوا ألم تكن أرض الله واسعة فتهاجروا فيها فأولائك ما أواهم جهنم وساءت مصيرا there was a group of people that did not migrate with رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم there were believers there were Muslims but they remained in Mecca when the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah at the battle of Badr the battle of Badr was between the Muslims in Madinah and the disbelievers of Mecca the disbelievers of Quraish the people of Quraish they forced some Muslims living in Mecca to come and join the battle in Badr they forced some Muslims to come and fight رسول الله they were forced they had no choice if they were to leave they would have been killed by the people of Mecca and Quraish and indeed they came into the battle and they were killed by whom by the army of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم when they died of course they had no choice they had to fight and they were killed by the side of رسول الله you know a lot of the soldiers Iran of course it's an Islamic country it's a Shia country and Iraq many of the soldiers were also whom many of them were Shia but they were forced to fight they were forced by Saddam Hussein to fight the Iranian army and those who fled the army they were killed anyhow these people that were killed in Badr they were Muslims they were killed by the army of رسول الله the angels they asked them they asked them why did you come and fight they said we were oppressed we were forced the angels told them aren't the lands of Allah so vast for you to leave for you to migrate who forced you to remain in Mecca why did you remain in Mecca why didn't you leave thus from this and other verses we come to know that sometimes migration is an obligation الله سمه تعالى in the Quran praises أهل الكهف the people of the cave the people of the cave is in modern day Jordan is in Amman I visited it I've been to Amman and I visited the actual cave ever happened to go to Jordan Amman go and visit the cave the cave that has been mentioned in the Quran أهل الكهف why does الله سمه تعالى praises أهل الكهف what's so special about أهل الكهف the people of the cave who were youth they migrated they lived in a country ruled by a ruthless tyrant by a dictator by the name of Diqianus who was a dictator instead of remaining in that country being oppressed being ruled by ruthless tyrant they decided to leave they migrated الله سمه تعالى dedicates an entire chapter for the people of the cave أهل كهف صورة الكهف and the Quran praises them for migrating Prophet Musa A.S he lived in Egypt under the kingdom of فرعون yet a time came when Musa's life was in danger he had to migrate and indeed Musa left he left Egypt he left and he went to Median which is also in modern day Jordan he remained there for 10 years with Prophet Shuaib and then he came back again to Egypt and when we look at the lives of prophets and special people in other religion in Islam and other previous nations we'll probably find many examples of those that migrated صلى الله عليه وسلم today we see on the news that there is a mass migration people are migrating by the thousands every day as I speak to you now there are people that are fleeing from Syria from Iraq from other parts of the Middle East and they're heading west people in Iraq and in Syria some of them are fleeing from the oppression of ISIS this cursed gang that has come into our countries they're killing innocent people they're not distinguishing between people's faiths they kill Shi'a they kill Sunni they kill Yazidi they kill Christians that have destroyed destroyed so many lands and destroyed so many lives there are some that are fleeing others are fleeing from the oppression of certain countries some are fleeing from the ill services of certain governments specifically in Iraq the people of Iraq are suffering from a corrupt government a government that is known for its corruption even though many of the people in government are Islamists they claim to be Islamists from an Islamist groups and unfortunately many of them have proven to be corrupt perhaps they don't kill but they steal many people are fed up and they've decided to leave their homes and their countries and to head west even though migrating has not been easy for some it has put their lives into danger some risk their lives of their family members I'm sure all of you all of us have not forgotten the image of the 4 year old or 3 year old Syrian girl that died that drowned off the shores of Turkey I'm sure her image is still in our minds and the minds of all those that saw the picture that a day or 2 days later they found the body of her brother that also drowned in the ocean as her parents were migrating from Syria and they were heading towards Europe thus there are some people that were and they are still willing to risk their lives and the lives of their family members the lives of their children in order to gain a better life in order to have a newer life in the past couple of months in the past 5 months over 50,000 Iraqi youth have left Iraq and these are these are the infrastructure of the country the youth make up the infrastructure of the country unfortunately they have decided to leave their homes ironically we see that there are some countries that supported war in these countries like Iraq and Syria these supported radical groups in Syria and Iraq all in the name of Syrian people to bring freedom and peace to the Syrian people they promoted war they brought weapons into these countries they supported radical groups but now that the Syrian and Iraqi people are fleeing these countries that you and I know very well which countries that I'm talking about that they welcome these refugees that they open their borders for these refugees did you see one Syrian refugee or one Iraqi refugee enter some of these oil rich countries of course not on the contrary ironically it is the western countries it is the non-islamic countries that do not believe in Islam yet some of them they implement they implement the teachings of Islam they open their doors for these refugees you know in Iraq in some of the riots and rallies and I'm sad to say this this is a sad reality that in some of the riots and rallies they carry the picture of Angela Merkel and under the picture they stated this is Islam and they carried pictures of religious figures and they had axes on those pictures this is very sad this is very sad because some people they came to power opportunistically they came to rule on the name of Islam they said they liked us only to come to power but they used the name of Islam anyhow people have been leaving thousands have left and they are landing into Europe and in the west of course this is not a new phenomena this is not something new people from the middle east have been migrating for the past decades you and I landed in the west because of because of migration people like us migrated from the middle east to other parts of the world and we came to the west thus this is not a new phenomena migration opens doors of opportunity opportunities that these people we're not just speaking about the migration that is occurring now the recent migration migration opens lots of doors of opportunity opportunities that we never had in our countries we now have by migrating in the west number one education the education the proper education that we could not have back home we can now have in western countries for our children education is the number one priority for most parents it's one of the things that most parents think about is providing their children with quality education and unfortunately today quality education has become a commodity in our countries in Islamic countries where do you find quality education where children could go and learn quality education could go into good universities and to good colleges this is not something available in our countries but it's available in the west jobs and the ability to work the opportunity to work this is also among the opportunities here in the west for those that never had the opportunity to work to open a business whether it's a small business or a big business they never had the opportunity today in the west they have that opportunity to start a business that you'd like whether it's a small business or a big business you have that opportunity number three these migrants today they have the opportunity to own to own a home for many it was a dream to own a home or a small apartment today that dream can come to reality they can own an apartment or a home there's the opportunity to take a mortgage to take on loans to have credit cards to buy things that they never were able to buy before number four they have the opportunity they have the opportunity to practice the religion freely in the west they're not persecuted they're not afraid of a gang called ISIS they can enter into their mosque and open fire upon those that are praying unfortunately this threat exists in our countries back home in the middle east which country does not have this threat in the past year in our countries that were relatively safe that were never victims of terrorism but this year they became victims of terrorism this year back in the middle east and almost every country in the middle east when people go for Salat al Juma to their local mosques when they leave their homes there's always the fear of never being able to come back home because there's the fear of a radical جهادي or a radical wahabi that will come inside the mosque and open fire and kill worshippers not in the middle of a battlefield but in the mosque in a masjid and the house of Allah didn't we see this year in the month of Rabadhan the month of Allah and in the house of Allah the guests of Allah praying Salat al Juma he explodes himself in that mosque these are innocent people were they carrying weapons were they able to defend themselves thus this is a threat back home if there's no terrorism there's persecution you're not allowed to worship the way that you want you're not allowed to say what you want you're not allowed to perform your rituals the way you want but here you could do whatever you'd like you could say whatever you'd like you could worship in whatever way you'd like you could perform the rituals and any way you'd like and no one will bother you this is an opportunity this is an opportunity and of course with opportunities come challenges challenges also come moving and migrating to the west opens a lot of challenges one of the challenges one of the barriers is the language barrier some will come not knowing how to speak the language and that will be a major obstacle be a major barrier when you don't speak the language that means you're paralyzed that means there's only so much that you could do and unfortunately in many communities picking up the language of the new country that you go to it's not something easy and it's not part of the priority there are some that come to the west and they spend decades and they barely speak the language of that country this is a challenge among the challenges is the clash of cultures and the clash of civilizations many of these migrants they come to a new country that has a new culture new customs new way of living for example women and men are treated equally women work the same way as men work this is a culture that has pets in fact pets are more cared for than some children everything goes by the book there's a law everything has order everything is punctual as we saw today we started right on time and we're expected to end on time so I have to rush everything is punctual everything is according to time and according to order now for some of us that come from chaotic countries that has absolutely no respect for time and no sense I have time that will create a clash that will be a problem among the challenges and this is one of the biggest challenges that these migrants will face is the abundance of freedom they will come to a country in which there's bars there's nightclubs there's alcohol there's drugs there's friends that are not religious their children will enroll into schools that are not Islamic they will have friends that are not Muslim their children will be tempted to go into dating and to have boyfriends or girlfriends these are all challenges their young teenagers will have driver's licenses and they will begin to drive this is a lot of freedom freedom is a challenge it's an opportunity and at the same time it's a challenge as well it's a major it's a major test for some of these migrants some of them they will lose their children I know when I say they lose I don't mean they lose they lose their lives but physically they will have their children but they will lose them spiritually they will lose them to temptations and others they will lose themselves not only will they lose their children but they will lose themselves among the challenges is that religion is not so accessible back home they will live in a country in which they would hear the sound of the Adhan day out there are local mosques everywhere there are masajids the site of Hijab is everywhere Halal food is everywhere religion is so accessible علاماء and scholars are so abundant now they've come to a country in which Halal food is scarce Islamic centers are very rare علاماء are very rare and so on and so forth this also poses a challenge علاماء and علاماء there's opportunities, there's challenges and there's responsibilities of course these migrants should know that moving and migrating to the west as we had experience by migrating to the west these new migrants should also know that moving to the west has lots of responsibilities they are responsible moving to the west gives you a lot you gain a citizenship you gain a good passport that gives you the chance to visit many countries without being questioned without being asked moving to the west it gives you housing you get a house you get a salary you gain so much but at the same time you lose a lot as well there are some that move to these countries and they lose their family members they lose their family they lose their family values you see this family when they were back home they had strong family values the husband, the wife and their children they would gather during lunch, during dinner they would see each other now that they've come to this country they come to the west they meet maybe once a week the husband is busy and the wife is busy and the children are busy perhaps the children even move out they move out of their homes and they move to other cities for college and for universities they lose the family values this daughter that would wear perfect hijab now she's moved to a country his son that was extremely religious that would not miss his Salah and would pray on time now he's missing his Salah now if he has the chance he prays and if he doesn't it's not very important for him and so on and so forth thus there are some when they come to the west they think about the things that they gain they forget about the things that they will lose there's a great responsibility on the shoulder of the migrants that when you come don't forget that you're a Muslim we are Muslims first our Islam should be our priority the west is second gaining a house, a home a salary, medical benefits these are important but not as important as our Islam as a religious institution we also have a responsibility towards these migrants we have a responsibility you know many of these migrants that will come thousands of migrants Germany alone accepted 800,000 migrants only in Germany 800,000 there's a very big number and all of these migrants don't they need Islamic centers don't they need Husseinias don't they need mosques this is the job of the of our scholars and of our marajah to make use of Khoms money to spend the Khoms to build centers mosques Islamic centers Husseinia not just that but to build madrasas Islamic schools even cemeteries even mortuaries even washing places of the dead these are all necessities and needs of this large Islamic community in the west the marjahia should think very carefully about providing catering for the needs of this Islamic community in the west there are also a need of scholars Islamic centers without scholars are like hospitals without doctors what's the purpose of having an Islamic center without a scholar the religious institution should also provide these Islamic communities with scholars that have been educated in qom or najaf or karmala that are equipped within Islamic education and can also speak the language don't send us someone that does not speak English or French or German or does not speak the European or western language they need to be equipped with that language as well in order to be able to cater to the needs of that community many of these migrants are followers of the school of thought of the sahaba they are from our sunni brothers and sisters this is an opportunity we could not reach them when they were in Syria we could not reach them when they were in Musa we could not reach them when they were in Fallujah when they were in these areas that were not safe to go into but now that they've come to the west what excuse do we have this is an opportunity for us to deliver the message of Ahl al-Bayt to these people to expose them to the message of Ahl al-Bayt to expose them to the message of Imam Hussein this is an opportunity before question missionaries start working today now that there's 800,000 Muslims going to Germany do you think that the catholic church in Christian church they're not thinking of converting them into Christianity of course they are and I'm sure that they're beginning to work from today they're going to begin to get these Muslims to convert into Christianity because they're not going to be very difficult because they came from Islamic countries who in their eyes they're backward countries they did not provide them with opportunities and who's providing them with opportunities they're not Islamic countries remember the picture of Angela Merkel thus it will be easy for Christians to convert them to Islam let's work let's work before others get to them let's introduce them to the school of Tharab so the school of Tharab Imam Hussein before others tempt them and they brainwash them صلى الله عليه وسلم is the first of محرم a day of celebration my dear brothers and sisters there are some today they're celebrating and they're congratulating each other they congratulate each other for the beginning of the new year the Islamic year but we the followers of Ahl al-Bayt we have nothing to celebrate for because when we see the moon of محرم I was telling one of the brothers that brought me to the mosque when we saw when we got in the car I saw the moon of the month of محرم I told him that you know our imams Imam Al-Sadiq Imam Al-Kawm Imam Al-Raza of محرم they will begin to weave
