 بل الحمد لله و بعالمين بل الخلائق يا جمعين باعت الأمبياء والمسلمين والصلاة والسلام على أمبياء الله جميعا و على سيدهم و خاتمهم حبيبي الله العالمين أبل القاصل من الصفا محمد بل الحمد على أهل بيته الطيبين الطاهلين المعصومين و على سيدنا و أولهنا الإمام أبي عبد الله جعفل المحمد الصالك عليه الصلاة والسلام قال تعالى في كتاب الكريم عقول الله من الشيطان و رجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم تركي فضاغ الله مثلا من كلمة طيبة كشجاوة طيبة أصلها ثابت و فروها في السماء تقتي وكلها و يضرب الله لأمثال للناس لعلهم يتذكرون صلاة الله العليه العظيم أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا أخيرا إسلام و إسطري مانكا و هذا هو سكس إمامنا و سكس سكسسر للمفتن الإمام جعفل المحمد الصالك عليه الصلاة والسلام لماذا هذا الإمام أهم للناس خلال أهل البيت و لقد كانت تسمى after him our tradition, our school is called the Jaqfari school Jaqfari is related to Imam Jaqfari why this Imam is so important to us there are two main reasons for his significance and his major role and major importance in the history of Islam and in particular the school of Ahl al Bayt this Imam led two types of revolutions one was the intellectual revolution the second was the ethical revolution and people need both in science and knowledge does not function without ethics and ethics cannot produce without knowledge they are intertwined and this Imam came to a society that suffered from spiritual moral and intellectual clouds therefore he took upon himself as his father did before him the fifth Imam Imam محمد للباطر عليه الصلاة والسلام took upon himself that we have to refurbish the ummah refurbish their minds, their souls their ethics imagine umma that the prophet at some time on them nurturing them, teaching them sacrificing for them yet they murder his grandson what sort of umma is that this is how they repay the prophet for his service for 23 years of preaching and teaching and sacrificing 50 years after him they murder his grandson that umma is not a normal umma there is something wrong with this umma there is something wrong fundamentally wrong therefore the imams of Ahlul Bayt after the mountain of Imam Husayn and Karbala in year 61 they decided that there is something wrong with this umma, we have to work we the leaders, we the educators Allah has endowed us with this responsibility others they are after Sultan after leadership and government and dominance خليفة فلان خليفة فلان خليفة فلان their focus is not to teach people their focus is to grab power and dominate a rule by force and a plunder the nation's wealth and they don't care whether people are educated, noneducated or uneducated or religious, not religious good or bad they don't care as long as the throne is safe but our imams are different our imams Allah says about them in the Holy Quran تلكت دار الأخر نجعلها للذين لا يريدون أعلو one for the earth ولا فسادة والعقبة للموتر that they hear after نجعلها نحضرها for those who seek no conced no transgression on this land they seek no conced no arrogance neither transgression للذين لا يريدون أعلو one for the earth those are our imams they will not die to rule beginning with Imam Ali Imam Ali even when he was sitting in his small room for 25 years he was producing he was working Imam Ali compiled the Holy Quran after the death of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that was his first achievement his first work our imams are not unemployed they have nothing to do their presence is barakah and blessing every day every hour every minute every second they work so they do not aspire to become leaders even this imam who was murdered by the second Abbasid caliph and this Abbasid caliph is the cousin of the imam is not someone who is foreigner this Abbasid caliph he is a foreigner he is his cousin Al-Mansour is the son of Muhammad Ali the son of Abdullah ibn Abbas Abdullah ibn Abbas is the closest friend of Imam Ali the closest friend after the prophet to Imam Ali is Abdullah ibn Abbas his first cousin Abdullah ibn Abbas is the uncle of the prophet this is his son Abdullah was the closest friend of Imam Ali the closest disciple of Imam Ali so he had a son by the name of Ali after Ali Muhammad after Muhammad came Al-Mansour who murdered the imam Al-Mansour and before him his brother Abu Abbas al-Saffah they came to power they were declaring the name of Al-Muhammad they said we have to take the light from Bani Umayyah and give it to Ahlul Bayt this was their slogan when they came to power this is how they deceived the masses in the name of democracy in the name of restoring power to the legitimate leaders who are Ahlul Bayt they came to power people believed them people from Khurasan all the way to the east in Egypt in North Africa in Yemen, in Syria, in Iraq they believed them that those are genuine they are the cousins of Ahlul Bayt they are going to take the power from Bani Umayyah and give it back to Ahlul Bayt but when they reached power they immediately started persecuting Ahlul Bayt they started with murdering the leader of Ahlul Bayt at that time أليمان جاقر ابن محمد الرسال منصور العباسي he was in Baghdad he was the one who built Baghdad منصور was the one who built the city of Baghdad so his capital and his seat of Khilafa was in Baghdad and he would call the Imam several times all the way from Medina to Baghdad just to insult him just to threaten him just to intimidate him seven times at that time there were lower planes even today if you take a flight from Medina to Baghdad it would take at least two hours imagine at that time how many days it would take to take the Imam handcuffed from his city of Medina bring him to Baghdad he stands before منصور منصور threatens him he slanders him and he sends him back to the city seven times with a leader not like any leader Imam al-Sadaq is the leader of the Four Meda'ih Imam al-Sadaq is the teacher of Abu Hanifa and the teacher of Maliki من ألس those two leaders of Sunni traditions there Hanafi and Maliki and then indirectly he is the teacher of Shafi'a so he is the teacher of the Four the top leaders of the Sunni traditions he is their mentor and their teacher and their educator this man from منصور seven times and the last time he poisons him and he kills them at the age of 68 they were ready for this sacrifice nothing would put them down nothing would discourage them from the path straight path of resistance of spreading the knowledge of the Holy Quran and the knowledge of their Grandfather Rasool Allah there is an amazing book I showed this book maybe last year or two years before here this book is the compilation of essays written in a conference intellectual conference that took place in 1917 in palace France about 20 professors orientalists including one of them was from UCLA participated in this conference more than 40 years ago 1970 in palace of France and they compiled their essays and their speeches and presentations in this book this book was originally written in French and then it was translated to Arabic and Farsi and the one who translated it to Arabic is the late Dr. Noor al-Din Ar-Ali may Allah bless his soul who passed away few months or maybe a couple of years ago and he gave a speech at this center and one who because he studied at Sorbonne in France and he translated the book from English from French to Farsi and Arabic two languages in this book marvelous book when you read this book you find that 20 non-muslim professors non-muslim none of them is Muslim leadership from France from Germany from the UK from the United States and other countries they praised Imam Al-Sada they highly speak about him and each professor speaks about one dimension of his greatness one professor speaks about Imam being one of the founders of modern medicine another one gives a paper on Imam Al-Sada being the founder of modern chemistry another professor speaks about astrology astronomy applied science mathematics so Imam Al-Sada was not only a scholar of religion or holy Quran or hadith he was also a teacher professor a theorist of all other sciences at that time one of the things that Imam Al-Sada said at the age of 11 at the age of 11 and no one can say this unless he is inspired by Allah you know the first person who before people thought that the earth is a plane it's not round shaped this was the thinking even today some genius people in Saudi Arabia they think that the earth is a plane do you know that? even today some of them when they speak they say it can't be the earth is plane they can't imagine their brain is so beautifully in a program that they cannot imagine the earth has a round shape or spherical as we say the first person who said the earth is spherical is tell me we study this when we are kids in the school tell me before him in the second century about 18 or 19 centuries ago and then came Galileo came later on many centuries after that in the 15th century again he came and he reinforced this idea that the earth is spherical and he was prosecuted Galileo was prosecuted the church at that time in Europe they said to him this is a hellasy go for it what you are saying it's a hellasy and many scientists were killed by the church at the time where Islam was advancing in science don't look at Islam today don't look at ISIS ISIS do not represent the true Islam the true Islam is represented by Imam Al-Baqir Imam Al-Sadr our imams Imam came in the 7th century 600 almost 560 years after tell me butlimous the Arabs they call him though the Muslims they call him butlimous tell me believe that the earth the sun rotates around the earth and the earth is the center of the universe at that time Imam Al-Sadr at the age of 11 he proved scientifically to his students in the city of Al-Madinah Al-Murawa that the earth rotates around itself and around what the sun that was the first man first man ever first man ever among the Christians the Muslims the Jews who stated that the earth and that is 1300 years old in the 7th century it is recorded that the Imam was the first one who said no the earth is not the center of the universe the earth belongs to that the solar system it rotates around itself to create the day and around the sun to create the year the Imam he takes that from the Holy Quran a theory in the Holy Quran and the sun rotates to create the year that is the knowledge and the moon rotates until you get the old stars the sun rotates and the moon rotates until night comes and all of them in the dark they will be happy but some people they read the Quran they don't understand Allah made Ahl al-Bayt the translators and the interpreters of this book the Holy Quran this is why we love them we love Ahl al-Bayt we take them to hearts because without them people cannot understand this book or maybe they would misunderstand it as some scholars even today in Saudi Arabia they misunderstand the Quran they believe that the earth is straight and he says because you move how does this Saudi Quran proves that the earth is straight he says because you move take a train from here whatever don't keep moving you don't fall so the earth is straight very genius this is now in the 21st century 21st century and those people they want to establish the Islamic caliph those people are the pioneers of Salafism and Takfirism and ISIS and Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram and Shabam every backward terrorist organizational and still America considers Saudi Arabia it is the strongest allies believe me our strongest allies are two Israel and Saudi Arabia Imam Al-Sada came to lead a revolution revolution intellectual revolution Islam was in danger at that time at that time Ben-Umeya were collapsing and they gave way to heretics to polythists to others to come and question Islam and question the holy Quran many of the philosophers at that time they would come and they say there are faults in this book but no one will answer that except Ahlul Bayt Ahlul Bayt will stand to defend Islam from the time of Imam Al-Baqir again Imam Al-Sada until the time of Imam Al-Ilah Imam Al-Ilah spent much of this time especially in Khorasan and in two weeks we're going to celebrate his birthday here insha'Allah not next Thursday the Thursday after that the celebration of the Milat for the 8th Imam Imam Al-Yub Al-Mosa most of his time Imam Al-Rada was spent dialoguing with interfaith leaders the leaders of the Jewish community the savior community the zolastian community the christian community dialoguing with them they converse people through logic when you have logic you win people who use weapon to crush others they don't have logic they don't have logic they use under they use emotions they use frustration but when people have logic they don't have to be angry they don't have to be frustrated they have logic other imams they taught us to use logic when we speak برحان بل هاتو برحانكم إن كنت صارق Imam Malik says لا رأت عينه ما رأت عينه ولا سمعت قدن ولا خطر على قلب بشر أفضل من جعفر ابن محمدنا الصادر Imam Malik is an intellectual man a knowledgeable man a truly knowledgeable man he says no eyes have seen no ears have heard no brain, no thoughts have other thoughts of someone greater in piety, in knowledge in righteousness in honesty then Imam جعفر محمد للصادر this is the testimony of one of his students who was instructed under the leadership of Imam Salih Imam Salih was not biased he will teach all all Muslims he doesn't care who is Sunni who is Shira, who is Christian who is Muslim in his lesson which almost 4,000 people would gather 4,000 students of his university there were agnostics there were atheists there were Muslims there were Shi'as, there were Sunnis there were all sorts of people an open university for all this is how we should be this is how our imams disseminate their knowledge without reservation without bucketing this group or that group this is the policy of our prophets for all people I am the messenger of God to all mankind to all mankind Allah wants me to preach my message to all mankind so Imam A.S was for interfaith for intrafaith he would speak with all and people would benefit from him and this is why these professors they come after 13 13 centuries to gather in Paris to praise this man this Imam to speak highly about let me say something because tomorrow I am going to continue we need days to speak about this Imam but let me say what the Imam said a story two stories one is Al Mansour Mansour Al Abbas he was the Abbasite caliph the second Abbasite caliph but that he came to the dener so all scholars they go and visit him of course the caliph is there they have to visit him accepting Al-Sarq he did not go to visit him he is a tyrant this man is corrupt so he sent a message to the Imam he said to him يبنى رسول الله all the son of the prophet of God لم لا تخشانا كما يخشان الناس why don't you come and visit the caliph just like other people when they come and visit why don't you visit listen to the answer of the Imam this is what makes Imam Al-Sarq a great this answer pay attention to this answer this answer distinguishes Imam the Imam of Ahli Bait from others this is if you want to know why our imams are great listen to the answer the Imam said to him ليس لنا من أمر الدنيا ما نخافك عليه ولا عندك من أمر الأخيرة ما نرجوه منك Imam said to him ليس لنا من أمر الدنيا because of two reasons one reason I don't have corporations and companies and lands and properties so I feel that you're going to confiscate that for me and take it away from me I have no business in this one my bank account zero balance why should I feel the government why should I feel the IRS or the FBI when your bank account is zero you don't own anything why do you feel some people they fear the government especially in the Middle East because they take away their land their homes, their properties their bank accounts, their assets Imam says I have nothing in this that I am worried about because of you the subhan and more interestingly more importantly ولا عندك من أمر الأخيرة ما نرجوه منك neither you have something of the أخيرة a good virtue that I come and learn from you you are bankrupt why should I come to learn from you knowledge piety, honesty, truthfulness you have nothing you are a corrupt person why do you want me to waste my time and come and visit you Mansour was smart see Mansour said to him I know I have nothing of the neither we have something for the but you come only تصحبنا لتمصحنا just come and visit me to advise me give me advice listen to the answer Imam says to him من يريدوا الدنيا لا ينصحك ومن يريدوا الأخيرة لا يصحك the one if someone is seeking dunya he would not give a good advice to a tyrant someone was seeking the dunya he would not go to the tyrant and tells him don't kill, don't destroy, don't steam because he is a thief himself so he wants the tyrant to help him من يريدوا الدنيا يسيك الدنيا لم يخلط ومن يريدوا الأخيرة لا يصحبك and someone who seeks the last would not come and sit with you next to him this is Imam Al-Sar those are our leaders do you know why and Mansour bothers him do you know why because the only threat to dictatorship injustice, corruption of the caliphs and the sultans were Ahmubites they did not see others as threats only in Ahmubites 2 weeks ago or 3 weeks ago how many of you heard of weekly leaks regarding Saudi Arabia did you read them do you follow the news there were articles on the Los Angeles Times New York Times everywhere the cables that Saudi embassies they sent to the foreign ministry they were exposed and leaked thousands thousands and thousands and thousands of documents when you study them when you research them according to the New York Times the only concern Saudi Arabia has in this world is Shiazim and Iran nothing else they only advise their ambassadors be careful of Shiazim in Thailand in the Philippines in Bangladesh in Pakistan, in America in Europe, in this country the only thing that the anxiety that they have is the spread of Shiazim today they have no other concern by the way no other concern only the truth the spreading of truth of the school of ahmubite this is exactly what Banu al-Abbas and Banu Umayya they had during the time of Imam Hussein Imam Zain Abideel, Imam Muhammad al-Bakl Imam Jafar al-Sadiq this is why they murdered them they had no other no other thing that would bother them except Ahmubite because the message of Ahmubite is the message of the truth and tyrants they worry they are afraid of the truth they are not afraid of falsehood tyrants are always afraid of the truth but Allah says whatever they do alternately truth is going to prevail I always say to my friends the scholars and others that I am not worried about the future of Shiazim I am not worried not because we have money and books and we have nothing resources zero but because this is the truth and the truth is self powered self powered once people are exposed to the truth they find it many people they tried to conceal it from their children from their own children yet he finds after 10 years that his son is a Shia the father tried hard for his children not to hear about Shia don't say anything don't mention but then the children they go and they discover and then they tell their parents you cheated on me this is what we see on a daily basis Ameer Al-Mu'min says Al-Haqqu Jadeed don't worry about Haqq Haqq is always a fresh even if it comes after 50 years it's a fresh they cannot crush the Haqq one last thing from Imam Al-Sadaq A.S. this is for us for me and you and you and you for us private message special message for us he says كونو زينا لنا ولا تكونو شينا علينا Imam Al-Sadaq says to me and you and all of us be all my followers all the Shia of Ahl al-Bait be an attraction and ornaments for Ahl al-Bait do not be a distraction for Ahl al-Bait so when you act when you behave behave in a nice way that people say yes those are the students the followers and the lovers of Ahl al-Bait are we acting in this manner do we act as the two Shia of Imam Al-Sadaq in our relationships at home outside home with our friends with our family members with our children do we act that way زي we become attraction for Ahl al-Bait do we كونو زينا لنا ولا تكونو شينا علينا حتى يقول الناس when people look at you you behave well they say فلقد أدر بشيعة they got the best they saw of Imam Al-Sadaq he taught his followers very well he disciplined them very well we are ambassadors of Imam Al-Sadaq all of you when you go home think about this always think when you go outside when you go to school when you go to the market place when you drive when you deal with people when you speak with people of Imam Al-Sadaq Al-Sadaq I will recite and then you jeep because we have dear friends and family members and sisters and brothers in our community who really really need your dua and the only window or opportunity of help and salvation for them is your sincere prayers when you pray do dua from the bottom of your heart so Allah سبحانه وتعالى bestows healing and salvation on that إن شاء الله أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أمان يجيب النصر وإذا دعاه ويكشف السوء أمان يجيب النصر وإذا دعاه
