 When we come to study the life and the lives of those who were sent by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala as prophets and as messengers for the guidance of mankind on the face of this earth we see that all of these individuals, all of the prophets, all of the messengers and their successors and all of those whom they left behind to continue the message, to continue the path that they had started, they were in the midst of the targets of the people of the ignorant individuals who lived at the time those ignorant individuals, they targeted these prophets they targeted all of those messengers they targeted their families and their successors for one reason and one reason only that they did not understand the sole purpose of the presence and the existence of those prophets and messengers many of them believed, many of those people, many of those ignorant individuals who lived at those times believed that these individuals, these prophets and these messengers they were there to deprive them of their luxurious lives or to take away some of their benefits or some of their interests or some of their desires that they had but a minute number of those people, they believed in those prophets, they believed in those successors and they understood their message and their goal and what those individuals wanted to achieve and that they wanted to guide mankind to the right path ever since history, from the existence of the first mankind on the face of this earth being prophet Adam and being his wife Hawa Eve those individuals, they wanted the best for the mankind none of the prophets and none of the messengers and none of the successors and those who were positioned by God Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to guide mankind and to represent the message of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on the face of this earth had any desires or had any needs or wants and had an eye on the people's lives or wanted to take away any of their belongings or whatever they had of luxurious benefits around them if we study the lives of those important infallible sincere and sacred prophets and messengers and successors we see that the majority of those individuals they chose to live life similar to the life of the poorest individual in those nations that they were sent to guide they did not look for luxurious lives they did not have any interests in the worldly desires around them they had one goal and one aim only and that was for the time and the time span of their prophethood and their responsibility that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala had sent them on the face of this earth they wanted to fulfill and accomplish their message and their duty and their responsibility in the best of ways and for them to leave and depart this world having fulfilled what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala had given them as a responsibility let's go and read and research and investigate about the lives of all of those prophets from the beginning of time until time today and until the rise of the time all of those successors all of those who call people towards the path of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala you will see them living a life of troubles and pain and misery and death and being threatened from left right and center why? because at every time and in every stage of life there are individuals who want to deprive those individuals those prophets and those sincere individuals of their livelihood, of their habitat, of their good lives which they themselves had invested in the good of the others, in the good of mankind the prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his holy progeny in the book Majma'ul Zawad Majma'ul Zawad is one of the books the Muslims can go back to and relate to for understanding some of the rivayat and traditions that had been narrated by the holy prophet in Majma'ul Zawad chapter number nine page 171 there is a narration narrated by the holy prophet peace be upon him and his holy progeny which says Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala amongst the sacred and amongst the sanctities that he has placed for himself there are three things anyone that holds those three important things sacred and protects these sanctities Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will look after the religion, the deen and the dunya which means this life and the hereafter will be protected will he will be looked after in this life and the hereafter by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala who that individual that protects the sacredness and the sanctity of these three important items and whoever does not protect these important things Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will not protect him neither in this life nor in the hereafter what are those things brothers and sisters let's come and understand some of the problems and some of the troubles these sacred individuals had to go through for the sake that you and me are guided towards the right path and how people treated them and this is not only something mentioned in the books of the Shia and the followers of Ahlul Bayt no, the narrations and the historical fact that I am going to mention have been narrated in the books of all the Muslims and all the Muslims accept that these events did actually occur at the time of the holy prophet and after the demise and the martyrdom of the holy prophet of Islam and that some of these historical events did actually befall upon the closest of individuals upon the holy prophet his daughter, his grandchildren and his cousin and successor Ali Ibn Abi Talib and some of the sincere companions of the holy prophet so the first sacred thing that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants us to protect and if we protect these things Allah will protect us in this life and the hereafter is Hormatul Islam, the sacredness and the sanctity of Islam, the message of Islam which is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants us to protect the banner of Islam what is the banner of Islam, what is the message of Islam is that all people should believe in oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is just and to follow the footsteps of the holy prophet of Islam and Ahlul Bayt A.S. which will eventually lead them to the hereafter and to believe that there is a life after this and that every individual on the face of this earth will stand before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and they will be tested and they will be questioned about every single minute they lived on the face of this earth okay, Hormatul Islam the sacredness of Islam the fact that the message of Islam is sacred the holiness of the holy Quran the holiness of the holy prophet and his holy progeny to protect the holy progeny of the holy prophet to respect the holy prophet to protect the name of the holy prophet the second important sacred item the holy prophet says first you have to protect the sacredness and the sanctity of Islam the message that I came with and for more than 21 years I gave everything in my power, in my existence and everything that I owned for the sake of the propagation of this message and the second important thing is the holy prophet is sacred the holy prophet has the sanctity that we have to protect he is not a normal individual Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says you are the best individual carrying the best of morals and akhlaq we have sent you as a mercy to the world oh prophet of Islam we have sent you to be a source of mercy for the whole world so we have to protect the sacredness of this individual in his life and after his life and the third point the same way you protect my sanctity and you protect my sacredness you have to protect the sacredness of my progeny and those who are linked to me by blood relatives Rahimi which means Fatima to Zahra the daughter of the holy prophet Ali ibn Abi Talib the cousin of the holy prophet and the successor appointed by the holy prophet to lead the nation straight after him Hassan al Hussain the grand children who for many occasions Rasulullah spoke about the greatness of those individuals and the position of those two holy individuals Hassan al Hussain Hassan al Hussain are the masters of the youth of the paradise Hassan al Hussain is a part of me from this life Hassan al Hussain is a part of me from this life and many occasions Rasulullah spoke and explained to the Muslims the position of the family the Ahlul Bayt A.S in the holy Quran Allah SWT has many verses showing us the position of Ahlul Bayt A.S in surat al-Azab verse number 33 Allah SWT says Allah SWT says Allah SWT presents the commentary of Ahlul Bayt A.S And also the verse ensouched the messenger of Allah SWT for six months six months everyday he used to come and stand before the door of the house of Fadima T el-Zahra Me try to stand Lorenzo door and repeat this verse and raise his voice. So the whole of the Muslims can hear the statement of the Holy Prophet and he used to repeat this verse. Inama yuridullah yudahim aankum ur-rijsa ahlal bait. O people of the house, O household, the one that you live in this house, who used to live in that house, Ali Fatima Hassan al-Husayn. Inama Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala inama yuridullah Allah wants. Do you know about the kumur-r-rijsa ahlal bait? Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has purified you a thorough purification. Six months. What did the Holy Prophet want to show? The sanctity and the sacredness of the family, of his progeny. Of his blood relatives. Why? Because he was saying to the Muslims, O Muslims, if I was to leave and depart this life, make sure you treat them the same way you treat me in my lifetime. So, in Allah Azza wa Jalla, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has three sacred sanctities. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will save and protect the issues and the matters of his religion and his life in this world. And whomever does not protect and look after those three sacred sanctities that Allah wants us to protect, whomever does not protect, Allah will never protect and guide the one that does not protect the sanctity and sacredness of these three items. These three things. We will come to understand in the duration of this program how those individuals who claimed to be followers of the Holy Prophet, who claimed to be followers of the message of Islam, they claimed to be amongst those who are protecting the sanctity and the sacredness of Islam, Hormatul Islam. They claimed in their parents in front of everyone, they were individuals who protected the sanctity of Islam, Hormatul Islam. They pretended to love the Holy Prophet, they pretended to love the Ahlul Bayt, so they had in front of people the three important protections against those three sacred sanctities. What's deep inside, what did they believe? In Surah Al-Imran, in verse 144, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has revealed this verse which is a message to all mankind. What is that verse? The verse says, Muhammad is no more than a messenger. Many were the messengers before him that had passed away. Muhammad peace be upon him and his holy progeny is merely a prophet and a messenger of which there were many prophets before him who had passed away. The point is here, why does Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala mention these two phrases if they were not going to happen to the Holy Prophet? If he dies or was slain, if the Holy Prophet of Islam was going to die a normal natural death, why would Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala include a description of a particular way that a person would pass away and leave and depart this life? Being slain, being killed, being assassinated. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in Surah Al-Imran, chapter 144, he comes and says if he, the Holy Prophet, was to die, which everyone died, everyone will die, everyone will leave and depart this life. But the next phrase is very important. If he was to die or was slain or was assassinated, or was killed, became a martyr, will you turn back on your heels? If the Holy Prophet of Islam was assassinated, there will be a group of you that will turn back to the original practices that they used to believe in. If he was to die or was to die, he will turn against the message of Islam and the message of the Holy Prophet. And if you were to turn back on your heels, you will least harm Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will not lose out. But you the ones will be losers, the ones that you turn against the Holy Prophet of Islam. Let's come and read and recite and understand some of the traditions from the Holy Prophet of Islam and his family. This tradition and inshallah we will continue in the coming episodes. Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa sallam says, And this is a tradition mentioned in Kanzil Ammal, chapter 12, the book number 12, page number 242. And the hadith is hadith number 34,864, where Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa sallam comes and says that every prophet, every prophet, every messenger has a sacred haram, a sacred place allocated to him. And my sacred city and my sacred location is the city of Medina. Allahumma, the Holy Prophet prays and asks, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Allahumma in me, Uharrimu haa bi hurmatik, which means that oh Allah, I, your messenger have made this city a sacred city, which means that anyone that will come after me, after my demise and after my life and who will try to take away the sacredness or to step on the sanctity of the sacredness of my city and my sacredness and the sacredness of my family and progeny who live in the city of Medina. Oh Allah, I ask you to bring down your wrath and adab upon them. And with this hadith and with this tradition, we shall end this session and inshallah in the next session we will come to discuss further of some of the historical events that befell on the Holy Prophet and his Holy Progeny after the martyrdom of Rasulullah. Peace be upon him and his Holy Progeny. Aadha wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
