 Good viewers brothers and sisters in Islam, Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to another episode of Life from Karbala with Meera host Ahmed Ali. Yesterday we discussed and tonight inshallah we will continue the discussion about the human rights in comparison between the declaration of the rights of man and the citizens of 1789 of justice and genuine respect of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib peace be upon him. Today we examine the first article of the declaration which states man are born and remain free and equal in rights. 1200 years prior to this statement Imam Ali bin Abi Talib states do not be someone else's slave when Allah SWT has created you free. We also discussed the wisdom of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib and the power of his knowledge. However our discussion tonight inshallah will revolve around the second article of the declaration. But first let us welcome our very special guest who joined us yesterday, Sayyid Muzaffar Al-Qazmini. Asalaamu Alaikum Sayyidina, how are you? Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Sayyidina yesterday we introduced a topic of human rights and we compared it to Imam Ali bin Abi Talib which stated the rights of humanity 1200 years prior to the declaration and 1400 years ago from today but the significance is that no one and as you mentioned yesterday no one refers back to Ali bin Abi Talib. It's weird and you mentioned how that's considered as plagiarism yet no one actually knows. Especially when you see the close resemblance between the words. Definitely yeah but tonight inshallah we're going to discuss the second and third article inshallah. The second article states the goal of any political association is the conservation of the natural rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, safety and resistance against oppression. When reading this segment we find that man has a right to be free and it's significant that we discussed that yesterday Ali bin Abi Talib stated that 1400 years ago yet they only came to realize that in the 1700s. So what is the comparison between the second article and the 14 year old sayings of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib peace be upon him? Well, Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallatu wa sallam also in comparison to the doctrine that was written in the 1790s. He also has his own words. Yesterday we elaborated on Amir al-Mu'mineen in his lifetime. He gave the right of thought, freedom of thought, freedom of commerce, trade, freedom of speech. So Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallatu wa sallam gave absolute freedom to his enemies and his friends, to his friends and foes. Today we will discuss another segment of the words of Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallatu wa sallam and we will compare his words to those who ruled after him or ruled before him or during his time. Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallatu wa sallam in one of his segments in Nahjul Balagha says, you certainly know that he who is in charge of honor, life, booty, enforcement of legal commandments and the leadership of Muslims should not be a miser, shouldn't be a greedy person as his greed would aim at their wealth. This leader, he doesn't care about the people. All he cares about is the wealth of his nation. That's his main goal. That's all he thinks about, his dinars, his dollars and in comparison to the first part of the segment of the words of Amir al-Mu'mineen, I will give you several stories and examples of those who ruled over the Muslims centuries ago. You've heard of Ibn Battuta, Ibn Battuta went all around the world and he wrote and illustrated everything that he saw to every city that he went to, to every single person that he met. He wrote a segment about them. Ibn Battuta says, I had a close friendship with the son of al-Muntasr al-Abbasi. He says something caught my attention from this man. He was such a greedy person to a point that he wouldn't eat with people. He was so greedy he would eat alone, he would sit in a room and eat alone. Ibn Battuta says, I asked him, why do you eat alone? For us Arabs, this is unusual, especially at the time. And moreover you're a prince, you have a courtyard, usually princes and rulers eat with their women, their slaves, their friends, their ministers, how come you eat alone? He says, I can't stand people eating my food or eating from my table. I just want to eat my food and no one butts in while I'm eating. I can't stand that people would eat from the food that we have prepared. It's a next level greedy person. Next level, exactly, next level greedy person. So he used to eat by himself. Everything Ibn Battuta says he used to force everybody, even his household members, even his wives, children to work, labor work and the farms. And when Ibn Battuta asks him, why do you make them work? You're the first person that's making his wives, his children work when you have so much wealth already. He says, I can't stand them eating and not working. They come eat my food. They're not willing to work. So they have to work in the farms. They have to gather lumber. He says, one day I went into one of his dungeons and I saw that he had gathered twigs, not just large lumber, even twigs. And when I asked him why, Ibn Battuta says, he says, even the small twig shouldn't be going to waste. We could benefit from this. This person's focus is only on wealth. It's not about his nation, about his people. Whether people are starving, not starving. It's just that he accumulates his wealth. That's all he cares about. Or if you go to the wedding of al-Mahdi al-Abbasi, the son of al-Mansour al-Abbasi, see what historians say, how much they spent on that wedding. In our time, we saw the wedding of the Sultan of Brunei, how much he spent on the wedding of his son, spent billions of dollars on a wedding on one night. His son and his groom were carried, and his bride were carried on a golden carriage, all made out of gold. The chariots made out of gold. And same thing at the wedding of al-Mahdi al-Abbasi. The wedding dress of the bride, her name was al-Khaisaran, was all made out of gold to a point that she couldn't stand up in her wedding. Because you know gold is at light, and if you have a whole wedding dress made out of gold, that's probably like 50 kilos. So she couldn't even stand up in her wedding. Can you imagine? A whole wedding dress made out of gold, while people starved in their nation. Starved in their nation. And you see, Amir al-Mu'mineen, he sees a woman carrying a jug of water. He runs to her, and he tells her, Ya'amatallah, can I help you and aid you in carrying this bucket of water? He saw her struggling. Then he asked her, do you have no man to support you or help you? And her response was, my husband died in one of the battles. So I have no man to help me and protect me. Amir al-Mu'mineen takes, he's the Khalifa of his time. He takes this water jug, and he goes to her and escorts her to her home. And then he asks her, do you have children? She says, yes, I have children. He says, can I help you prepare food for them? Amir al-Mu'mineen prepares their food. Yeah, she's not knowing that. And she didn't even know who Amir al-Mu'mineen was until one of her neighbors came and told her, do you know who this man is? She was angry on him, because she told him, and in irish she told him that, Ali ibn al-Bit'alib was the reason behind my struggle, because he sent my husband to war. He died in one of the battles of Ali ibn al-Bit'alib. Amir al-Mu'mineen lights up her oven clay, and he makes bread for her. He takes care of the children. Which other khalifa or ruler that ruled amongst the Muslims or over the Muslims had such characteristics? Such humility. Such humility. Fatima alayhi salam gave her wedding dress on her wedding night, and you see al-Mahdi al-Abbasi's wife al-Khaisaran wears a wedding dress made out of gold, made out of gold. And you see rulers such as the king of Brunei, he spends billions of dollars on a wedding night for his son, or the prince of England who spent 300 million pounds while youth are struggling to get an education in the United Kingdom. So this is what we see. This is what we see. Qalal ibn Abdul Aziz, who was the Ministry of Wealth in Saudi Arabia in the 1960s, today his son Walid ibn Qalal is one of the wealthiest men on this whole planet. You asked him, saying, I'm a smart entrepreneur. Where did you bring the money to start your business? What business? What business? My father was the Minister of Wealth. They took the wealth of this whole nation. He just inherited the wealth of the nation. They took the wealth of the nation, and that's why he's the wealthiest man, or one of the wealthiest men on this planet. When Ameer al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salam, would work. He would work in his farm, he would plow his farm, he would water and irrigate farms for the Muslims while he was a Khalifa. So he could earn a righteous living, a halal living. You want to take one single penny, one single dirham from the khazina of the Muslim. So this is the difference. Ameer al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salam, describes how a ruler should be. He describes how a ruler should be, and he lived by it. Then Ameer al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salam, says, nor be ignorant as he would mislead them with his ignorance. You can't bring an ignorant leader and place him as a leader. Yeah. He's a position of ruling. He's a position of ruling. It's not a joke. Yeah. It's not a joke. When he's ignorant, he will mislead his nation. Definitely. He will destroy his nation. In our lifetime, we've seen presidents who will make a country prosper and flourish, and presidents who destroy a country. Yeah, I mean, this country- They take them back to the stone ages. Yeah, I mean, this country, witness that. And we've been witnessing it for 13 years, we're witnessing it now, president after president, masha'Allah, they become better and better. Saddam Hussain, I mean, Demolish the city. Demolish the city. Of course. And during the time of the Muslims, during the time of Ameer al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salam, Muawiyah led the Muslims to kill the grandson of Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi. He bribed the wife of Imam al-Hussain with 100,000 dinars, golden dinars, and to marry her off to his son Yazid. That's how she poisoned Imam al-Hussain. And at the end, she didn't even get anything. And at the end, she didn't get anything. She didn't get one dinar, nor did she become the wife of Yazid. He misled the ummah to curse Rasulullah and the household of Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi, and for 90 years, for 80 years on 80,000 pulpits, they would curse Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussain. If you ask why would they do that, I mean, the answer, they gave Hussain peace be upon him on the day of Ashura, he told them, why are you fighting me? They said, it's just hatred. Hatred of your father. Because Ali and Baitalib ruled according to justice. Not just that. According to fairness. And another segment, they told Imam Hussain, our hearts are with you. Our swords are against you. Why? Because they were misled. They were misled by Muawiyah and Yazid. They were attempted by dinars and seduced by the golden coins. Some were just a handful of dates. Some for one golden dinar, one golden dinar. But even, let's say if it was the city of Ray, or other cities, they were attempted. Yeah, Omar Ibn Sa'ad. They were seduced. Omar Ibn Sa'ad. They were seduced. They were misled. They were misled to kill the vice-gerents and the connection between man and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala on this planet. The grandsons of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi. A leader can either guide a ummah or mislead a ummah to their destruction. But speaking about Muawiyah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi upon him, even on the day of Ashura, this segment says the right to safety. And Muawiyah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi upon him told them that they only want me. They don't want you. You can leave to his companions. To his companions. He said leave. You don't have to stay with me. Even to his enemies. Yeah, he told them. There's no need to kill me. So the last moment he was trying to guide them and persuade them to follow the path of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and not be misled to the seductions of this world. So this is the difference. Muawiyah kills Imam al-Hasan. This is misleading the ummah. Yazid led the Muslims to destroy the Ka'bah. The house of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. And Medina. And he raided Medina, killed and raped women. Same thing we see with Da'ash today, with ISIS today, exactly the same thing. History is repeating itself. Why? Because there were leaders to mislead, to mislead the ummah at third time and today. For them, this is history. This is history. So if those people did such an act, then this is their religion. This is not our religion. Our religion is those who gave their lives for the sake of religion. Like Imam al-Hasan, like Amir al-Mu'mineen, like Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi. Like Fatima alayhi as-salam, like Imam Hussain alayhi wa sallam. Not that he just destroyed the Ka'bah. He brought catapults and destroyed the Ka'bah. The sacred house of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Now you tell the Muslims right now, if someone destroys the Ka'bah, what would you do to him today? What would their response be? Would you have respect for him? Definitely not. Shia or Sunni? Does it matter? The house of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and it was destroyed by this man. How many people till today praise him? The Mufti of Saudi Arabia praises him. He said that if I was in the same situation- I would have done the same thing to Hussain. Hussain ibn Ali. Why so much hate when you look at it? This is always you'll have a leader to guide and a leader to mislead. So Ameer al-Mu'mineen is giving us instructions of how a leader should be. One, he shouldn't be a miser and a greedy person. Two, he shouldn't be ignorant, he shouldn't be jahil, nizid, ended up killing the grandson of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi. Imam Hussain alayhi wa sallam. Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, nor be of rude behavior, who would strange them with his rudeness. We'd have them as strange of reality. He's a rude person. He can't teach people manners. He can't teach people manners, how to behave. If he can't behave himself, if he is misbehaving himself, he's not living upon the teachings of Islam. Musnad Ahmad, the book of Musnad Ahmad, and the chapter of Baqi Musnad al-Ansar, there is a hadith called Hadith Burayda al-Aslami. Burayda lived at the time of Muawiyah. Burayda says, one day my father and I went to Muawiyah and we had a feast. And at that feast, we ate and then the cups of wine came to us. And we started drinking with Muawiyah. We started drinking. This is not before Islam. This is after Islam. This is after Islam. And this is in Musnad Ahmad. This is in Musnad Ahmad. This is not in usul al-Kafi or Bihar al-Anwar for our dear brothers to come and say, no, you're misleading the Muslims, you're making up a hadith. No, this is in Musnad Ahmad, Baqi Musnad al-Ansar, hadith Burayda al-Aslami. He says, we ate with Muawiyah and then we dined, whining and dining with Muawiyah. We started drinking. So if a person drinks and he is a leader of the Muslims, when drinking is prohibited in Islam and those who drink are severely punished, what do you expect from the Muslims? Thus today you see videos on YouTube of ISIS members. They tell you, yes, the Sahaba drank, the Sahaba fornicated, but we still learn from them. What do you learn from them? What do you learn from them? To drink and fornicate? And you count yourself as Muslims? You count the leaders of the Muslims, the leaders of the Muslims. And another hadith in the book of Abin A'im al-Asbahani, he has a chapter called Ma'rafat al-Sahaba to getting know the Sahaba, the Bab al-Ain, because Muawiyah's name starts with Meem al-Ain, but the hadith is narrated by Abdel Rahman bin Sahl al-Ansari. This is why it's under the letter A'in. Abdel Rahman bin Sahl al-Ansari, one day he was walking in the streets of Damascus and he sees a carriage in the streets of Damascus. This carriage was a container, a large container of wine. Abdel Rahman grabs his spear and breaks the container of wine. The soldiers and the police or the guards of Muawiyah capture Abdel Rahman bin Sahl al-Ansari and they take him to Muawiyah, as if he has committed a crime, he's a criminal. What's Muawiyah's response? What's Muawiyah's response? This man lost his mind, he's an old man, don't mind him. Can you believe the heritage of the Muslims? Wow. I wonder why such individuals like ISIS or rulers of so-called Islamic countries, they dine and wine. Of course, you can see the picture of Abdel Rahman bin Sahl al-Ansari with the George W. Bush. It's weird to see that. So, instead of saying no, he did the right thing, we as Muslims shouldn't be drinking, this is prohibited in Islam, he says no, he's lost his mind, don't mind him, he's an old man. He says, I'm not an old man, I haven't lost my mind. But last I remember, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, told us wine, alcohol is prohibited in Islam. Do you not remember where were you? Or is this a new religion, have you hijacked Islam and now you're making a new religion? This is why we see such a big difference between our school of thought and other schools of thought. Because in all honesty, Islam was hijacked and this was the response of Muawiyah. The third segment of Amir al-Mu'mineen's law or the characteristics of a leader, Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, nor should he deal unjustly with wealth, thus preferring one group over another, al-Mu'tasum al-Abbasi, because he didn't want to bring the alawis, the sons of Ali ibn Abi Talib into power or his cousins and brothers. Because of his greed, who did he bring? He brought the Turks. He brought the Turks thinking that they will help him rule over the Muslims. But the Turks, what did they do to him? They killed him and started to rule. It became a way that al-Mu'tasum al-Abbasi was like a sheep. He didn't rule anything and they ruled everything. Because he wanted wealth to himself, power to himself, he brought the Turks and the monster he created, the army that he created came back to haunt him and caused the downfall of the al-Abbasi empire. The point is, he brought them to secure his own wealth and power, correct? So the sons of Ali ibn Abi Talib don't come into power. The imams don't rule. He established his government in Samurrah, where our two imams al-Askeriain are buried and they were basically imprisoned in a military compound by the Turks. But the monster he created came back to haunt him. And inshallah we'll see exactly the same thing happen in this country. By those who brought ISIS into this country, so Shias don't rule this country, they brought these barbarians. But today you see ISIS killing them. Killing them. Yeah, we see that. We're witnessing that right now. But will they realize? Will they realize? This is the sad truth that the only people who are protecting you are the people of the south, or the Shia. This... They're the Christians. Yeah, definitely. The Christians and the Shias, those that you didn't want to rule over this country. But you brought these savages and barbarians and now they are haunting you. This ties in with the third article of the declaration, which states, the principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. Nobody or no individual can exert authority which does not emanate expressly from it. I mean, when we discussed about Muawiyah and we want to compare it to al-Iran al-Bi-Talib, it's... No comparison. There's no comparison. But this segment is saying no individual can exert the authority yet, I mean Muawiyah didn't just do that. He demolished. Insha'Allah, we'll get to the third segment. I want to keep explaining the words of Amir al-Mu'mineen. So what al-Mu'tasam did, he gave authority to the Turks over the Arabs, over the Muslims, and that destroyed their empire. And Amir al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salatu was-salam, says, nor should he accept a bribe while taking decisions. This is something that we see in this country and Muslim countries on daily basis, you know, you want to get a driver's license, you can't do it without giving a bribe. You want to buy a kilo of tomatoes, you have to bribe someone. And this is all over the Muslim countries throughout the whole Middle East, whether you're in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, it doesn't matter. Even if you're asking for your own rights. Even if you're asking for your own rights. You have to bribe in order to get your... You want your electricity fixed, you have to bribe the electrician that works for the government. So he says, nor should he accept bribes while taking decisions, as he would forfeit others' rights and hold them up without finality. Right now, look what happened to Iraq, there were parliament members who were bribed millions and millions of dollars. So Mosul was emptied and ISIS entered Iraq. That's the only logic behind it, or else why would a person abandon his own country? Why would 50,000 soldiers leave their territory and open the doors for ISIS to enter Iraq? And now they regretted that. Who sold the youth of the Spiker massacre? A thousand, 1,700 youth, they were sold off. It's like they're selling off sheeps, not humans, that's unfortunate. Taking a bribe for other people's benefits. After 13 years, no electricity, still no safety for people. Our insurgents coming, terrorists coming into this country, people are leaving prisons. You know, Alcatraz in San Francisco was abandoned because a group of people escaped that prison, correct? On daily basis we have people leaving prisons in Iraq because briberies, or they relate to a specific governor, or a governor or a parliament member, he's taken into custody from here, from here he's left alone, he's back into the wild, destroying and killing and massacring But this is our bitter reality, nor should he ignore the sunnah as he would ruin the people. Today, Muslim leaders have left the sunnah of Rasulullah. Not just today, as I explained to you during the time of Muawiyah Yazid, and every single Khalifa that came after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, and Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi waftala s-salatu wa s-salam. They didn't live by the sunnah, they didn't live by the sunnah, that's why you see the calamities striking the Muslims, and you see that we have fallen behind, and every single other nation is passing us. Why? Because we left the sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi. But in the government of Imam Ali, the wealth of man was protected. The wealth of man was protected. Give me one instance that someone's wealth was not protected in the government of Ali ibn Abi Talib alayhi wa s-salatu wa s-salam, or the safety of man to a point that he himself wouldn't have any guards. Ameer al-Mu'mineen was the only ruler that would walk his streets without guards, because safety was given to his people. Equality was insured, didn't matter if you were black, white, Persian, Arab, didn't matter. Equality was insured, and till today governments suffer to give equality between races. This is why you see almost every day throughout this past year, a black man has been strangled or shot to death in the United States. The same as Charleston. What happened to the church, the white man that took the step? Exactly. Yeah. Or the three or four Muslim youth that were shot to death. But every day you see a black man who's either being choked to death or shot to death. And what's happening to the police? Nothing. They just, nothing. They abuse this and they leave the case. So truly, is there equality insured to the people or was it only implemented 1400 years ago in the government of Ali ibn Abi Talib? And he was successful in doing so. I said it. I mean, because when you look at the government of Ali ibn Abi Talib, he even taught his companions to be humble and to walk with humanity on the streets. One day... Many of his companions were black. Many of the companions were the Imam were black. Amir al-Mu'mineem in one year, through his hard work and labor freed a thousand slaves. And the closest of the companions of Ahl al-Bayt were black. Because the imams didn't see a difference. And naiklamakum and Allah, doesn't matter whether you're black or white or which country you come from. Even more than that, doesn't matter if you're a Hashemi or from Quraish or you're an African or a Chinese. I mean, Bilal Habashi was one of the greatest. He was the first person to call upon prayer in Islam. He was the only person during Muhammad's time. Yeah. And what happened after they just murdered him. But Malik al-Ashtar, one of the close companions of Ali ibn Abi Talib, one time was walking in the streets of Kufa. And a man, a random man, came and spat at him to see that from, you know, if someone did that to him. Imagine that with our politicians today. To any politician around the world right now. He wouldn't be alive yet Malik al-Ashtar, the freedom that Ali ibn Abi Talib gave. The humbleness that he taught them, the self-restraint that he taught them. He left to the mosque and people told him, what are you doing? That's the commander of the army of Ali ibn Abi Talib. So he ran after him. And Malik al-Ashtar was, you know, in comparison to Ali ibn Abi Talib, Malik al-Ashtar was probably the second bravest man. Yeah. He told them. You were to me like I was to Prophet Muhammad. In Islamic military. That's how close Malik al-Ashtar was. But he entered the mosque and the man came after him. He told him, you know, I apologize, I didn't know who you were. He's like, by Allah swt, I came into the mosque only to pray to Allah swt to forgive you. To forgive you. Because you didn't know. I mean, the humility of the companions of Ali ibn Abi Talib, and what does that originate from? It goes back to the leader as we mentioned. If the leader is a pure man, pure hearted man, then his people will also be pure. If the leader is an evil man, then only evil will reside with him or besides him. Also the country does not belong to others interests. Today do we know who this country's interests belong to? Is it for the nation? Is it for the Iraqi people? Or is it for every single other country that's besides us? It's just Iraq. Look even in America, is it for the interests of the Americans or is it for the interests of APEC or the Zionists? The Congress belongs to the people of America or does it belong to Netanyahu? Obama does it meet with Netanyahu? But the Congress holds up a circus for Netanyahu. The country's interests belong to whom? To the people of America? To the people who live on that soil or to foreign interests? I mean, we see that when we look in history, we see that America and even all of North America were just aboriginals. But where are the aboriginals now? They were massacred and then just moved into segregated areas. And then we compare that to human rights. And then we see that how we thought it didn't differentiate yet. When we see human rights right now, there's freedom, but there's a limit to freedom. How does that make sense? I don't understand. Freedom is only what Aleem Nabi Talib gave. To a point that he let Talhan Zubayr mobilize against him. He knew what they were doing. Right now, nobody has freedom to mobilize troops. Look what happened in Russia and the tension that occurred between Russia and America. The Cold War. Not even today. Even today. Yeah. But it originated, yeah. This is reality. Now, let's move on to the third segment and let's give the words of Amir al-Mu'mineen. We just have time to mention it because there's approximately five or four minutes. Five minutes, inshallah. We'll finish within five minutes, inshallah. InshaAllah. Okay. Can you read the press? It says the third article states that the principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the nation, nobody or no individual can exert authority which does not emanate expressly from it. I mean, if you can elaborate on it, we discussed a part of it prior to it. Amir al-Mu'mineen, alaihi wa sallatu wa sallam, says, Walzamu al-Sawad al-A'zam, fannyadullah maat jama'ah. The interest has to be the interest of the whole nation. Because it has to be created for the whole nation, not for a certain group of people. Correct? Definitely. Does this compare with what you just said? Yeah. I mean, as we mentioned, who actually abides by those rules? So Amir al-Mu'mineen, alaihi wa sallatu wa sallam, just explains that laws of a country should be an interest of the majority of the nation, the lower class and the middle class, and not the elite, the top 5% or 10% of the nation. But around the world today, what do we see? Laws that are enforced in whose privilege? Or whose favor? The second class and the third class. The richest? Yeah. Just for the richest? That's why you see, you see, how often do you see a millionaire go to prison? Or a billionaire go to prison? But the person who is poor and just trying to earn his bread, that's what mainly consists of world's prisons, the poor. The poor. Yeah. You don't see the riches going into prisons. Why? Because laws are embarked and enforced for the interest of the richest. And this is one reason. This is the reason I see Iraq's downfall. And I hope our politicians hear this. Because every single law that they enforced was in the interest of whom? The 325 parliament members in their entourage. Was it in the interest of the Iraqi people? Yeah. I mean, they're there to serve. I mean, the Taliban states, and we mentioned that yesterday, the ruler is there to serve the nation, not to rule over them. But yet we see them, you know, ruling. Why is it that one of the richest countries on this planet is bankruptcy? Right now we ask local authorities. Why aren't the roads paved in the city? They tell you we lack funding, we don't have funding. This is a joke. Where did the money go? Why is it that poor have no privileges? But those who have power and those who gain riches in this country can do whatever they absolutely want. Their entourage could do absolutely what they wish. Insha'Allah. Sayyidina, we're actually coming to the conclusion of the episode. Alhamdulillah. We came to a conclusion for the third saying of Amir al-Mumineen, alayhi falas-salatu wa salam. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thank you for having me. Insha'Allah. Insha'Allah. And people truly understand the words of Amir al-Mumineen. I mean, if we can ponder upon just a few words of Amir al-Mumineen, I mean, we can revolutionize our personalities. This man was a miracle in every aspect. Yeah. Every aspect. Every word that came out of his mouth was wisdom, was a guidance for humanity. Salamullahi alayhi. Yet, even Muslims have neglected those words, but insha'Allah we can move forward and develop our spirituality, you know, and learn from alayne bi-palab and the Ahl al-Bayt. So thank you very much. Insha'Allah. Thank you. And thank you very much, respected viewers.
