أصدقائي ونقوم بأسفل الثاني لكي أصدقائي لأسفل الثاني شيء that I am very very very adamant to be established in this part of the world because I love your countryside and I think it is wasted and we have to do something about it Anyway Allow me again also my respected sisters and brothers and distinguished guests right from the beginning to share with you a thought that we can all keep in mind for over the next ten nights that we are having together so that this thought or this idea can become our quest for the rest of our life the thought is as follows in this blessed nights the nights of Laylatul Adam we ought to open our hearts to our Creator Allah سبحانه وتعالى so that we can remove all the hatred from our hearts and that we plant instead in it the love to all people because there is nothing that can attract a person to another person more than the concept of having love towards him and the person you disagree with in opinion knew that your heart pumps with love towards him or her he will be attracted to you hostility does not make a person closer to the other because hostility creates a barrier between you and the rest of the people let us therefore learn my dear loved ones how to love and let us refrain from learning how to hate we learn from our beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that his heart was always a soft heart he never held grudges and his tongue was never harsh he would hear he would hear his insults and accusations and he would face all these accusations and insults by saying the following oh Allah forgive my people because they do not know do not torment them oh Allah give them an opportunity perhaps in this night they will be guided this is how the Prophet approached people and this is how the Prophet approached his message in the way or in his quest to reach out to people a true Muslim therefore which is the subject matter of our lecture and the way of life not only as rituals I think the myth of religiousness has been hijacked over a period of 1400 years ago to mean a set of rituals and nothing but a set of rituals which is far off from what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and Ahmul Bayt anticipated in the way they wanted to reach the message of Allah سبحانه و تعالى as you know the central code of the message of Allah in the Quran the central theme of the message of Allah in the Quran is what is humanity that's the central theme in the Quran Allah says I want to create a vice gerent what is that vice gerent what is he made of what does he represent what does he stand for what is he made of and what is his task and mission in carrying out that message to the rest of the creation that he lives amongst is it one where he is always attended or always in the attention of being enclosed within himself where he promotes his individualism at the cost of the rest of the community through the actions of what we call rituals when he neglects or she neglects to include within him or her the rest of the community around him that is not a vice gerent a person who all such views is someone who becomes very much represented and egoistic within himself that he does not see any room to include others within himself and that what makes him an exclusive human being and not an inclusive human being we want to be inclusive where we can have the right and the ability to encompass even those who do not see high to eye with us even those who may disagree with us those who may even go to the extent of wanting to kill us for that matter we need to reach out to them because the prophet said they don't know any better and if you know any better then you should be the one that reaches out to them first and not sit in your ivory towers throwing rocks at others and then expect them to reach out to you that will never happen that is on us to always reach out to others this is the theme of what Allah SWT therefore a true human being and when I say a true human being I am always using that to represent a Muslim because if I ask and I think I said that last year when I was with you here if I ask what is a synonym to a Muslim to answer other than human that is a synonym for a Muslim a synonym for a Muslim is not a submitter a synonym for a Muslim is not the one that lives in a set of rituals yes it is part and parcel of our faith but a synonym to a Muslim is one who is a human who encompasses in all of his existence all the principles and virtues of goodness from which he can make himself readily available to encompass others in all walks of his life in his way of interaction in his way of dealings in his way of speaking with a verbal or non-verbal in any part of his existence he becomes a true incarnation of what Allah wants him to be as a proper human and true Muslim is the one that masters his manners masters his etiquettes masters his stance masters his dealings and masters his behavior where his main concern should be to preach the message of Allah and show that the trust of his faith with absolute truthfulness and not to please men no backwardness has sent Islam in a scientific civilized and mature way to the more and to the entirety of memories the Prophet SAW had this to say in regard to those who will come after him and want to reform what has gone wrong in the way this faith has been preached and as you see around him Islam unfortunately has been hijacked by certain groups here and there that do not reflect the essence of that faith and we have become victims of this hijack we have become the very victim of this particular hijack the Prophet SAW the religion of Allah shall be carried out and protected in every age and era by just and truthful ones who shall nullify from it from the myth that people include or the people that invent within that faith that shall protect in every age and era by just and truthful ones who shall nullify from it the interpretation of the wrongdoers and the fabrication of extremists and the impersonations of ignorant just as bellows eliminate impurities from higher because our duty brothers and sisters when we see something going wrong in our faith to stand firm and say this is not Islam this is baby culture this is maybe my understanding this is maybe what I have been taught through a sequence of certain traditions that have passed from one generation to another that did not depend on the true essence of what the Quran reaches and what the Quran wants and that's why people will find so much obdiction later on in life with the advent of the coming of the righteous guide that we know to be in fact the Adal Allahu Ta'ala people will be astonished as to the way he preaches Islam to such an extent that people will say this is not the action of the children of father why? because he comes with strange ideas that people cannot comprehend as the Prophet himself came with strange ideas that the Americans could not comprehend بدا الإسلام هو غريبا وزا يعودوا غريبة فطوبا للغرباء وزا يخونا با أبسد الناس من بحر مجرد من the Prophet who says that Islam began in its quest in Mecca as a strange phenomena in what way as a strange phenomena in the sense that what the Prophet preached was not familiar to the Arabs the Prophet said women or women had rights the Arabs said excuse me what are you talking about this is not part and parcel of our setup this is not part and parcel of our tribe this is not part and parcel of our education system so it is a strange phenomena that the Prophet comes to introduce in that particular world the same happens because unfortunately our Islam to a great extent has been a masculine Islam does not have its feminine touch within it and don't like me to say these things and I know people will come and challenge them on what I'm going to say let's challenge one another but within the spirit of my opening statement that I may disagree with you and you may disagree with me but let me reach out to you and let you reach out to me on the basis of our discussion from the basis of love and understanding not from the basis of virtues and hatred I may not agree with you and this is your right and you may not agree with me and this is also your right so we have receptacle rights not to agree with one another but we do not have receptacle rights to eliminate and erase one another and that is what we are facing today to our existence I disagree with you I disagree with you I'm going to erase you I disagree with you I want to hunt you down while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was taught by Allah لست علي him you have no controller authority over them all you need to do is preach truth preach truth let them make their own decision let them arrive at the conclusion that they frame appropriate to their own well-being after looking and hoping to what constitute the truth because your mission is to present the truth but you need to present the truth in a way that appeals to the intellect of that human being you do not preach the truth on the basis of your own deceived ideas of what may constitute the truth because what may constitute the truth is not necessarily the truth itself but what constitute the truth is to identify the truth first like عليك عبيطال صلى الله عليه وسلم in one of his statement he said it is not befitting for us to follow those who claim to be truthful but it is only befitting to find the truth first and identify it then we will be in a position to know what are the truth followers of the truth why brothers and sisters because someone who claim to be a follower of the truth may sleep and if you have identified the truth through that person who sleep your entire system of belief in the truth will become shaky but if you identify the truth in itself those who are following and sleep along the way in any way shape your belief system in the truth because you already established the basis of the truth that you follow regardless of who sleeps or regardless who adds or regardless who substracts or regardless who invents or regardless of those who innovate and how many innovations have we introduced in our faith only to think later that it is part and parcel of that truth that we claim as defect human beings sometimes that it represents the truth as the adherence of a multi-versal intellectual system here I need to make a small correction to the world universe for those who pride themselves in negating the existence of a God we say we live in a universe to indicate the multitude of the cosmos that we live in but the word you need signifies one that does not signify a multitude of cosmos right? and Allah says in the Quran رب العالم not رب العالم He is the Lord of the multi-cosmos system not the Lord of the Universe the Lord of the Universe is something else our own imagination our own contemplation our own perception there is not one verse in this world there is a multitude of verses for multitude of cosmoses so I have to twist the term for it to be from a universe to a multi-versal intellectual system we therefore as the adherence of a multi-versal intellectual system must never live to make decisions on the sphere of the moment brothers and sisters rather we must live to measure such decisions by the scales of the past the present and the future in another word a Muslim or a human being is someone who is always aware of his surroundings there is a statement by one of our Imam namely Imam Al-Baqar or Imam Ali Gevan all of them they speak about the same concept he says what the most learned of the people of their time are the ones who are aware of their time that you want to be who you are and where you are you must be aware of the time you live in you cannot cocoon yourself in a particular secluded place library university or society which is absolutely disassociated and detached from the rest of the world and then how to follow and how to believe no you must become an active part and parcel individual of the place and the world you live in you must be in touch with all the advancement of science and all the advancement of technology so that you would know what you are talking about and what is being talked about just like when someone was asked يعني one of those turban wearers like us he was asked do you know that there is a flood in Timbuktu? how could there be a flood in Timbuktu it's in the middle of a dry place he said where is this on Mars no it's on Earth Hadi it's on Earth if you don't even know part of your world how can you stand and preach about what the truth is going to be and this is not an attack on any segment in our society I'm not here to attack these turban wearers also on the other hand we're able to actually have a dialogue with Armeshtan such as for example who was discussing the theory of relativity with Armeshtan directly through an exchange of letters that took place between Allama Brogiordi in the early twenties and Armeshtan of his time and Armeshtan makes a remark to Allama Brogiordi I am paraphrasing now of course he didn't say that I'm saying that because I'm paraphrasing he literally it is as if Armeshtan was telling Allama Brogiordi how did you get access to this knowledge you are someone who is in the confinement of your own seminary how were you able to probe science to such a deep level that you are talking to me about the theory of relativity this is to show you that the religion we abide by is different to the religion of the elite is different to the religion of the intellect is different to those who limit their religiousness to superficial religiousness to outward religiousness without the deep concentrated cemented idea of what constitute religiousness in a very good example a student of mine comes to me for once and he says what makes a religious person a religious person I said you tell me you say someone who prays in the front row I said good next said someone that holds the spirit next someone that keeps his rosa go next someone that pays sakaal next someone that keeps forms next nothing more to it let's take your concept of religiousness now outside the mosque because what you said so far is inside the mosque for it a reflection of what is being taught inside the mosque let's take that religiousness outside the mosque the one who pays sakaal the one that prays in the front line and the one who holds the spirit the minute he steps out that the mosque he tells lies is he still religious in your idea the one that does all this the minute he steps out the mosque he hurts his neighbor does he still call upon to be religious the same person steps outside and cracks at the opposite gender and encroach on their privacy does that still constitute to you a religious person he said no I said then what constitute a religious person I said cricketers gives you the definition of what constitute a religious person and thank God you are a nation of cricketers he has to be an all rounder an all rounder a Batman a fieldsman all the things have to be encapsulated in that individual so he becomes an incarnation of virtues and etiquette regardless of the space in the time he is in regardless of the given situation he finds himself in with a business transaction or a family transaction whether it is a college transaction or a societal transaction wherever the transaction or the feeling it is he finds himself always an all rounder he does not compromise he does not sell he does not give up he keeps and maintains his principle regardless of the situation he finds himself in why? because he holds a mission and a message that mission and a message is not superficial it is his upon existence it is a reflection of his entire existence on the bridge of this earth and that's what singles him out or singles her out from the rest of the society that she lives in to such an extent that when people cast a gaze at he or she immediately he or she is easily identified on the basis of his principles and virtue system that he follows or that she follows it is singles out you become literally the odd one in society but the odd on a positive term not on a negative term you become odd not by wearing your Mohawk no I know those students who study abroad know what a Mohawk is you become odd on the basis of the way you dress with low-cut jeans sorry to say that to such an extent that people could identify the mark of your let me not go there okay why would I need to know what sort of Calvin Klein you wearing under your jeans that's not my concern that's not modernism that's not being part of the parcel of being progressive that is if it indicates anything it indicates the flow of following without being a pioneer for a pioneer instead of me following I become an icon of leadership that people follow instead of me allowing myself to be a follower but that cannot be maintained or established or achieved unless or until we are able to live inwardly and outwardly that system which is multi-versal intellectual system that Allah wanted us to call therefore I was the missamwa that calculates all these decisions or her decisions in light of both worlds this life and the ego i.e. he or she is a balanced human being in the way they think in the way they feel in the way they interact in the way they react and in their verbal and non-verbal communication skills and that what lead him or her to a balanced lifestyle wherever they find themselves living Imam Ali s.a.t. says about the human being which we've already established himself a Muslim he says your medicine is surely embedded within you yet you are oblivious to it and then he says and your cure is from your own self yet you are unaware you falsely claim that you are a minor for a small mass yet within you the world at large has its secret hidden and embedded within you everything is within you but you have to look introspective look within you man عرفة نفسه فقد عرفة ربه the one that identifies himself identifies himself on what basis identifies his potential identify all the hidden secrets of capabilities that Allah has embedded in you to explore the world at large and then you extrapolate i.e. you bring out you extrapolate all these hidden treasures and potential in order to do what with them in order to serve others with them not only to be self-centered and serve yourself with it that's why when I was in a community once in Dubai not far away from here one hour and 40 minutes by plane and by swimming maybe 3 days if you can reach it says what I was in a community preaching I said we speak about being a cohesive community cohesiveness indicates what cooperation sharing because sharing is what is caring these concepts are not familiar to us in this modern world what you in the world we live in sharing is caring is a myth that now is outdated by self-centeredness by the ego-centered concept that our children are being taught in colleges as what as individualism you are an individual in your own right no one should have an authority over you even God thinks of that's what's being taught not even God can tell you what to do isn't that what sensein tells us sensein says even God should not have an authority on you those who watch themselves there was a particular program about senseins where Homer sensein is highness comes to define the very concept of the existence of let's see who controls the universe for the multiverse I said what is your views after making your first million dollar who is not ambitious enough to make a million dollar in his business everyone wants that I said what is your next step after you make the first million by God all the people in the without fail they just have the non-religious among them they said to make the next 10 I said masha'Allah so how about if we change the paradigm they said don't change this paradigm it won't work I said no but let me probe into your mind a little bit based on the system that you believe in or based on the system that's sorry to say that that you claim you believe in when you make your first million you should think about how your brother can make his first million that is cohesion that is what we call sharing is caring right? but forget it man what the hell are you talking about who cares about the other guy when he makes his first million or not as long as I make my trillion no one gives any care I don't want to use big words about anyone else in that society of community as long as we are self-scented individuals and that's why chaos is spreading in the world like wildfire we see so much problems in the world and we sit and scratch our head and then we say why is God so unjust الله God is telling you to be God is imposing this system on us God is the one who's bringing ملاعقة down with EK47 or AK47 and saying do not share with the other God doesn't do that God is giving you a weapon of sharp attitude which is called the intellect that intellect can either be or that you can use against yourself or a sort of balance where you dispute or you actually verify and can create a rift between justice and injustice oppression and equality kindness and hurtfulness this is always the maintenance so if we see ourselves in a community or a society where the class system is beginning to grow further from one another it is not the injustice of God but it is the injustice of the human intellect that is at work that we are not willing to share and close the gap between this class system like Imam Ali said Imam Ali said if God if poverty was incarnated into a person I would have called that person to combat and I would have finished it if poverty was to be represented in one person يعني in order to eliminate poverty the Imam says I would not hesitate to call that person to combat so I can finish it from the face because poverty because poverty poverty leads to disbelief and the perpetrators of creating that gap are the one who are actually encouraging that statement of this belief to grow further in the mind and part of it but thank God we have a community that despite its poverty their hearts they reach out to Allah and say show that Allah is within the patient who wants to Allah having said that that the whole universe is in fact embedded within you is in fact its secrets have been placed within you in order that we can extrapolate it and move and advance and launch our intellect into the horizon of thinking and thoughts and mindfulness in this world we find that the famous poet from the Indians of Continent none other than your Muhammad Al-Qabal who had this to say in regard to this issue he says surely non-belief is perplexed and the horizon of non-belief is a part of loss these are his words he says non-belief is perplexion يعني doubtfulness not knowing where to go or where to come from that's non-belief regardless of the non-belief he is saying non-belief as a generic term non-belief is perplexion and the horizon of this non-belief is the part of loss while true-belief is a universe that the whole cosmos in it has become one single world the whole cosmos in the belief system is so small in the horizon of what you believe on upper grounds these are the words of Allah because he knew how to distinguish between what true-belief constitute and what false-belief constitute this has become brothers and sisters and intrinsic due to the following fact that even modern science of today has finally come to recognize and endorse that phenomena that we cannot afford anymore are oblivious to some sort of a belief that is based from practicality not on me not on ritual not on any of these concepts that does not lead a human being to reach his full potential on the basis of his humanity it's being restricted confined to certain standards that others believe what makes your humanity while in true essence what makes your humanity is to liberate yourself from everything around you and everything that controls you and everything that subdue you and everything that makes you artificial so that you can go back to yourself of being the true representative of truth on earth the true representative of what God wants from you not that superficial being that sits what lives in this world for a number of years and then leaves this world not knowing where he came into and where he's going to which leaves him so complex and you will see that this complexion ends up in disastrous consequences disastrous outcomes and these are not my words these are not my thoughts my thoughts will come later but these are the thoughts of modern psychologists what do they have to say about this modern today's psychologists have said that in this world we are living in we find that there are a large number of people searching for meaning in a world that sometimes seems some so meaningless doesn't have any meaning why am I here what am I doing why there is so much college why so much fighting why so much poverty so much injustice for these concepts that are prevalent in today's world that we live in to such an extent that sometimes we as people tend to try and find happiness in the wrong places because happiness does not lie in dreams or fantasies or denials but rather true medicine to heal our problems and doubt is found within our own souls and our own selves but we look for solutions and medicine outside we look for happiness in a Prada bag how come you voted and then what you got your Prada bag which is the ultimate dream of some women and some other or the brightling watch the official watch for Bentley you got it and then what then what you worked all your life for a brightling or for a Versace for example and then what is this your value not to others but at least to yourself and I'm not saying you cannot hold a Prada bag no hold it but hold it and keep holding it and not allow it to hold you you understand what I'm trying to say yeah keep holding it but do not allow it to hold you do not allow it to control you do not allow it to be the main purpose of your existence that is the difference if you being in control and being controlled that is the true essence of liberation from a prophetic concept when the prophet says say it was not a statement that was meaningless it was a statement but that was so profound that the elite poets of the Arabs rejected it why will be forfeited to something bigger than them and they could not comprehend the fact that they should forfeit their authority to someone else that is the essence of la ilaha meaning no authority no guardianship no authority save that of course the market would not tolerate such a concept because of their ego the ego that was so huge that used to shoot up to their heads that they could claim themselves they were the cards of the world and they were in control of the life of those that lived around them and lived with them or lived under their control so to speak therefore we cannot find true meaning to life in outside artificial influences brothers and sisters we have a perfect lives within the powerful resource of our own souls that is why traditional meaningful values principles and the concept of real families no longer form the clue that bonds society together in fact in today's uncertain political and economic world psychologists say more of us are feeling that something essential is missing in our lives and one of the most renowned psychologists in contemporary USA by the name of Thomas Moore author of the best selling book care of the soul says the great melody of our century is the loss of people's soul that absence of soul from the existence of people have made them so notorious so obnoxious so beastly like because they preferred the superficial and the artificial to the essence of their existence and Arib Nabi Talib says live in this world as if you can live forever for the hereafter as if you will depart tomorrow balance balance in your outlook as well as your commitment and attachment to this world and attachment to your heart to your hereafter to what awaits us all after that transition or transit state that will move on from one state to another this particular psychologist goes on to say when the soul is neglected this is very important brothers and sisters because this is scientific I'm not reciting now a Hadith because sometimes people attach more importance to scientific evidence than to the Hadith of the Prophet but now we can see the link between the two we can see the link why people do not attach significance to the statements of the Prophet and the Imam because sometimes we speak to people monsters and then we say to them the Imam said and the Prophet said when the Imam and the Prophet did not say they came to say that they said it and that's why we find there's a huge gap between science and religiousness sometimes yet the essence of the Quran is scientific the essence of the Quran is intellectual the essence of the Quran is divine Allah in nearly every ayah of the Quran that appeals to the intellect when Allah says should they not think should not they ponder should they not reflect these are terms that appeal to the intellect brothers and sisters they do not appeal to this do not appeal to fables do not appeal to fairy tales they appeal to the intellect and the mind of the same human being when Allah says when you want to approach me approach me intelligently do not approach me on the basis of me do not approach me on the basis of hearsay do not approach me on the basis of fables do not approach me on the basis of telling me tales of Harry Potter who God knows what and Twilight Zone and Twilight Zone do not appeal to me from that perspective appeal to me on the basis of your intellect on the basis of your ability to decipher information that has been put in you and you have been given the key which is the mind to extrapolate it and bring it out from your system that's what Allah wants from us so he goes further to say when the soul is neglected it does not simply go away it doesn't just go away okay I don't want to look after my soul I wanna booze I wanna drink I wanna weaponize because in our standard chillaxing which is chilling and relaxing combined becomes chillaxing means what means to have found the wrong way as if to say Islam does not allow you to have found the halal way and you know what what is halal and haram brothers and sisters what is halal and haram if I may use the term haram to indicate harm they seem connected haram harm then we will be better if we to understand the concept of haram then we will have no issues then we will not come and say oh Mawlana as you all speak about haram what are we doing come to the right Mawlana they are so much fun they are so much fun no one can have fun like Mawlana I trust you but you have to know how to you know you know you need to know how to and don't reach them through this please you drop them I'm telling you don't reach them through this because if you see a scholar attending the palaces of the elite do not take your religion from them anymore because they have been bought they have been bought tomorrow they will give you any fatwa tomorrow they will give you any halal and haram because many folks the glitter of uncle Sam when it's sprint in front of our faces it lights up it lights up so avoid that from them anyway when the soul is neglected it doesn't go away it appears symptomatically it appears in other illnesses symptomatically symptoms it appears in other symptoms what are these symptoms these are psychologists professional and they are appearing to our intellect look what they say they appear symptomatically in obsessions addictions violence and loss of religion and loss of religion recently we lost a great singer I don't listen to singers but I'm speaking from the perspective of those who think that singers are great you know that British singer you know you're not living with time you don't know the singers of modern time what's her name Amy Wine Winehouse I don't know I'm speaking according to critics even where it comes she was beautiful she fit all the she fit all this beautiful good physique good money good ifrisy but her soul was neglected she killed herself she took her own life does anyone stand and ask Wine Wine I mean if we think happiness is in that I mean if we think happiness is in that then why are these people being expired and being expired in the most horrific of ways study the life of Michael Jackson with all due respect to those that idolizing that love Amy Michael Jackson Michael Jackson study the life of Amy study the life of Monroe all this top notch mountainlliness you know to such an extent that they didn't know what to do with their money they started changing colors started changing their own color they didn't know what to do with their money loss of meaning loss of essence loss of essence loss of your existence in this world and this is not you know some scholar saying this I mean some German word this is a psychologist whose book is the best selling book in the USA he's saying that negligence of the soul does not simply go away when the soul is neglected it does not just go away it appears symptomatically in obsession addiction and loss of meaning now look what the Quran says in regard to the same concept but in a very two line explanation Allah says indeed successful is he or she who elevates indeed successful is he or she that elevates it elevates what the soul like what this our friend said Thomas Moore Thomas Moore is saying if you elevate the soul you will be saying but if you neglected it will symptomatically come to haunt you in these issues addictions obsession loss of meaning and so on and what happened and then the Quran says what he who elevates it surely is successful and who neglects it he lets the soul يعني that's not good after it just like our friend was saying if the soul is being neglected it does not simply disappear it does not just hide it does not just take a holiday on the contrary it comes back to haunt you in different ways addictions and so on and so forth that's exactly what the Quran says again and he who neglects it will be at loss will be at loss your soul because it's being neglected it just simply doesn't go away it comes to haunt you back in different addictions Allah said indeed successful is he or she who elevates it and doomed is he or she that neglects it that neglects it does science stop there no it continues and I don't know I'm not with time by the way I'm done don't give me a mic because I don't know how to leave it alright I will just throw one little light seriously do you believe in 45 minutes now no that's my point according to two separate studies conducted at Duke University center for religion spirituality and health each involving each study for those who are down for for spectacle not one or two four thousand participants in every study they four thousand participants to do one and they found out the following those who consider themselves to lead a spiritual life tend to have number one listen to this this is science lower blood pressure what has religiousness got to do with blood pressure sometimes you think what has being spiritual got to do with my blood pressure okay half as likely to suffer from the pressure as to those who are not in attendance who do not attend to their soul why in fact more than 250 studies at Yale down mount and other universities have found that people with all sorts of spiritual belief benefit from the following a stronger immune system making them less prone to catch colds and develop other illnesses not only that it goes on to say not disease emphysemia diabetes cancer and suicidal inclination great mental and physical ability to deal with illness and recover faster how is that so if I become most ritual that I will be able to save myself from all these symptoms scientific I'm giving you science I'm not going to give you Quran today it says and I will stop here and I will ask doctors to either endorse what I'm saying or falsify what I'm saying because it's easy these days to falsify information go to Uncle Rubon or Hajj Wikipedia you will get a different answer you want right during this are the words of cardiologist and top notch doctors what happens what do we get stressed this is what happens when you get stressed don't get stressed this world is not worth it especially don't get stressed always your husband it's not worth it especially the husbands of today during stressful situations during stressful situations the adrenal glands flood the body with chemicals that raise heart rate and blood pressure what low is that now I have a stressful situation my heart rate is what my chemicals are rising my blood pressure is shooting up these studies say how do we lower it how do we bring it down do we give you tablets there is another way of reducing it these doctors say great and reading uplifting spiritual literature appeared in these studies to lower these chemical levels and prevent stress from harming the body and the blood look what Allah says officially Allah says their remembrance of Allah soon is the heart and fills it with tranquility and peace peace be upon you until we meet tomorrow may Allah make us among those who when they listen to anything they will follow it before I leave today is there day of the shahada of Ameer Al-Mu'mineen it is only courteous Ameer Al-Mu'mineen small 2 minute of your time Ameer Al-Mu'mineen we know he was struck on the 19th on the 19th of Ramadan look at this great man how he communicates his humanity with his killer this is religiousness brotherhood and sisters this is religiousness and not just mundane acts of rituals Ameer Al-Mu'mineen comes to his morning prayer get struck by Abdulrahman in the world splits his head open to such an extent and I don't want to be boring that the whiteness of his brain shows from the severity of the strike that this man puts on the head of Ameer Al-Mu'mineen Ameer Al-Mu'mineen is brought back to consciousness the poison has already gone through his body but he is still in control Imam Hassan is standing right next to the captive the portrait of the crime Abdulrahman Ibn Muljam this shackles the chain on the hands of Abdulrahman Ibn Muljam we are very tight Ameer Al-Mu'mineen makes a remark for Hassan loosen the shackles on the hand of my killer you know the muslims look at him say are you for real are you for real you are saying to us to loosen the chains of the very hands that caused what we say The Haddam at Fika Arkan حسناً based on your killing the pillars of guidance have come down based on your killing the pillars of guidance have been brought down because you were the representation of the pillars of guidance you say to us to loosen his chains he said not on the hands you loosen his chain and you feed him from the same milk for I heard my beloved Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم saying إلياكم والمسلى ولم بالكلب العقوم he said he do not on account of my killing mutilate the body of my killer for I heard my beloved Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم saying do not mutilate anyone even if it was a poisonous dog even if it was a harmful dog do not mutilate it but honor its existence in this world and this is a killer rather than assistance the killer that we make land on day and night right for all yet everybody when he deals with his killers he deals at a different level of humanity and all of understanding and then Ali ibn Abi Talib drops the final bombshell صلى الله عليه وسلم when he says and leave him to me for if I leave I know how to leave him all the scholars of Islam rather than assistance our Sunni respected scholars our Shi'a scholars our Zaini scholars all the scholars of Islam the statement of Ali ibn Abi Talib upon which he said if I was to leave I will deal with him personally they all unanimously said that Ali ibn Abi Talib was going to forgive عبد الرحمن that he was going to release him from captivity why? because Allah says treat onto others in the way you have been treated but if you forgive it is more worthy in the eyes of Allah it is more worthy in the eyes of Allah Ali ibn Abi Talib comes out from the house of his daughter Zainab then he wires his uncle too brothers and sisters Zainab uncle too are one person he comes out and when he takes hold of the door his chain around his waist comes undone he says it is as if the door does not want to Ali ibn Abi Talib because it is for as if the door had a feeling that it was the last night of Ali ibn Abi Talib then he remarks أشتت حيازي مكان الموت فإن الموت لا يك Ali ibn Abi Talib said tighten your belt and face death surely death will be meeting you إلا أنه لا يبقى أو أي شيء يبقى أن death will come to you he leaves صلى الله عليه وسلم the ducks and the swans in the house of Zainab follow Ali ibn Abi Talib and then someone tries to hold them Ali ibn Abi Talib says let them follow their Imam let them follow their Imam they are creatures like them they have feelings i am going to a boat which Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم had promised me and he said oh Ali the time you will be struck this will be died with the color of this meaning your blood will go to your feet and it will change the color of your feet on account of the color of your blood صلى الله عليه وسلم the one who said we shall never foster compromise on the basis of weakening my faith صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم أولد صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم استشهد صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم يبعى في حيا صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم ورحمة الله وبركاته please for the departed soul of our loved one for the departed soul of the ones who have established this majlis for the departed soul of our brothers and sisters who are in gardening today and anyone who is not with us today let us bestow on them and bequeath them صورة المباركة الفاتحة proceeded with Salawat على محمد وآدي محمد
