 I start in the name of Allah, the Beneficent and the Merciful. I ask salvation from shaitan the accursed, my dearest viewers, my brothers and sisters from all across the world, may peace, blessings and the protection of Allah SWT be with you at all times. Welcome to the Ramadan Show exclusively here on Imam Hussein TV. With me, your host, Dr Shabir Tijani, insha'Allah we'll have a great show lined up for you where we will be talking about many different things to be your one-stop shop for the month of Ramadan. Insha'Allah, I would ask you to please send in your videos, your pictures, your blogs about how you spend this holy month so that we can show it and share it with the rest of the world. And finally, I would like to ask you to join us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and on YouTube on to which this show will be uploaded tomorrow. Before we commence on to the show, I would like to start off with a saying and a hadith from the aimat of Tahrirun alayhimu s-salam. Because this is the birth of Imam al-Hassan alayhi s-salam, I want you to do a quote from him. He says, do not rush to punish a sinner, give him some respite, a chance for him to find a way of apologizing. Here the Imam has told us that the value of forgiveness and apology is very high in Islam. If you have made a mistake, even Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you time to ask for forgiveness and as human beings we should be caring towards other human beings, forgive because after all that is what you would want from someone else and that's what we want from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive us only when you forgive others. So please bear this in mind as you prepare for this holy month and as you contemplate and reflect about the sayings from the aimat of Tahrirun. During this episode I want to talk about a specific personality from the Ahlul Bayt alayhi s-salam, that individual who we're remembering on this very day and that's Hassan ibn Ali alayhi s-salam, Imam Hassan is the second Imam, the successor to Amir al-Mu'mineen and he was born in Medina on the eve on the night of the 15th of the holy month of Ramadhan. His mother Fatima al-Zahra alayhi s-salam brought him to the holy prophet peace and blessings be upon him on the seventh day in a silk shawl from heaven, which Ibrahim brought down to the holy prophet. He named him Hassan and did aqiqa, the aqiqa ceremony. It is said that Imam al-Hassan alayhi s-salam was the most similar to the holy prophet in his form, in his manner and in his nobility. Imam Hassan, the holy prophet on his deathbed, when lady Fatima al-Zahra brought her two sons to him. She said, these are your two grandsons, give them something as an inheritance. The holy prophet replied, as for Hassan, he has my form and my nobility. As for Hassan, he has my generosity and my bravery. Anas ibn Malik said, no one was more like the apostle of God, may Allah bless him, than Hassan ibn Ali, peace be upon them. Next, we'll talk about the worship of Imam Hassan alayhi s-salam. When Imam Hassan, in his lifetime, we look through the narrations and look through his biography, we see that he performed the Hajj on foot 25 times. When he mentioned death, he wept. When he mentioned the grave, he wept. When he mentioned the resurrection, he wept. When he mentioned crossing the surat, he wept. When he mentioned the standing before Allah, he fainted. When he mentioned paradise and fire, he was in shock as a sick person would be. He was very generous and charitable. He looked after the sick and the poor, the orphans and the widows. He mentioned Allah in all conditions, whether he was in a joyous mood or in sorrow, where the good times are happening or bad. When talking about Imam Hassan, we see that he's a man, a person of the highest value of ethics and morals of principles, and therefore everyone during his time respected him. The Imam was loved by everyone and everyone loved to associate with him. Everyone loved to hear him speak about these good values and these good morals. There are a few stories that I want to share with you. Imam Hassan, despite having a very high social rank, he was very kind and considerate to his people. There was once a story where there are a group of poor people sitting down eating bread. And they invited the Imam. They said, oh, apostle of the prophet. Oh, apostle of Allah, sorry. Come and join us to lunch. He dismounted his camel. And he said, indeed, Allah does not love the proud. And he began eating with them. After that, he invited them and gave them food and clothes. This is just one of the examples of the generosity of the Imam. I want to just give you a few more examples. In narrations, it is said that once a man came to the Imam and asked him for a specific need, the Imam gave him double of what he wanted. And there were some people sitting there who asked him, why did you do that? The Imam said, do you not know that doing good should be done without request? As for him whom gave you the request, you give him after what he has lost face. As in, you give him dignity, even though he's asked you by asking you he's losing dignity. So what you give him does not allow him to lose face. He continues, he says, he may spend his night restless and sleepless. He rocks between despair and hope. He does not know whether he will face a sad answer or glad success. He comes to you while he shakes all over and his heart is afraid of you. Then if you meet his need through losing face, that losing face would be greater than what he's obtained from you as a favor. Again, the Imam, another example of his generosity, he once saw a black boy, a servant. He was eating a piece of bread and he was giving a piece of bread to a dog. The Imam said to him, what has made you do this? The boy answered, he said, I feel a shame when I eat this bread and my dog is just watching me. Imam said to him, do not leave your place until I come back. The Imam went to the master of this boy and he bought the boy and he took the boy to a garden that he lived in. He freed the boy by buying him and made him possess that garden. Again, we see the generosity of the Imam. He gave, he gave more than what was required. When we talk about the outstanding merits of the Imam, we say or we find in narrations that the Imam is known as the Lord or the Master of the Youth of Paradise. He was one of the four people that the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him took on the event of Mubahila. He was one of the five whom the Prophet covered in the cloak. He is obviously one of the 12 Imams or the Apostles of God. And he was amongst those who were purified from the sins as the Holy Quran says. The Holy Prophet peace be upon him, loved him and asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to love those who also love him. From this, I want to move on to another topic because it's closely linked to Imam Hassan. As we know, Imam Hassan had a very close relationship with his brother Imam Hussain. And I want to talk a little bit about brotherhood. Obviously, brotherhood, as brothers, when you're born and you're brought up, you are by each other's side. You take each other's favor, you look after each other, you listen to each other, you comfort each other, you become like best friends. Brotherhood, we've been shown, is a fantastic example of how we as human beings should encourage our children and even ourselves if we are brothers, we should try and make good and strong bonds with them because they're essentially our closest friends, not only other family members, but because of the age gaps and because of the closeness in ties, they should be one of the closest people to us in our lives. We look through history, we see many examples of this. We see the relationship between Imam Hassan and Hussain. We see the relationship between Abbas and Imam Hussain on the day of Ashura. And then we look at the relationships between, for example, Ali-Lakbar and Imam Sajjad. And these relationships we can see throughout history and throughout time, how important it is to have close links with one's brother. That's why within our societies, when I see that brothers are separated, they don't talk to each other, I feel that the moral fabric of society is being split apart because as family members, as brothers, as friends, you can do so much and build a community together. Insha'Allah, I hope that you all pay heed to the stories of the aimah. There's just a few tips I want to give you about how to have strong relationships with your brother, how to build upon that relationship. Firstly, and the most important thing is, we're told that in Islam, we should respect the elderly. And the elderly are told that they should show love towards the young. And that goes the same for brotherhood. As brothers, you should not treat one more superior than the other. This goes for parents as well. When you're bringing up your children, try and show them love equally. Don't treat one better than the other. Secondly, as brothers, try to show love and respect for each other. The younger brother should show respect to the elder brother because he's elder than him. He gives him more respect because of his wealth of experience, his wisdom. The older brother should show love and care towards the younger brother. He should be a protector for the younger brother. And when this happens and you don't treat one above the other, you get a level of mutual respect. Secondly, as two brothers, you should try and endeavor to do the same activities together, draw on each other's strengths, try and counteract or compensate for each other's weaknesses. In society, try and stand up together, go to the same places together, be seen together so that people know that you're from the same root, from the same background, from the same family. Next, when it comes time to having friends, try and spend time together with the same friends. Try and grow up together, doing the same things together. Insha'Allah, you will appreciate each other's value when you do that. Finally, and most importantly, insha'Allah, for those of you who do not talk to your brothers or who have become distant from your brothers, those of you who don't have good interaction with your brothers, try and make this month of Ramadan a clean slate. Try and make it a new start. Try and make contact with them, apologize, ask them for forgiveness for any shortcomings. And insha'Allah, invite them to your house if you have a house. Invite them to have lunch with you, dinner with you. Invite them to talk with you, interact with you. And insha'Allah, when you do that, you will see that the roots of your own being become stronger. You remember your background, your foundations. And as brothers, you can do so much to support each other, not only socially, not only emotionally, but financially, through your own strength, physically, you can support each other. Because Allah SWT has sent brothers down as a blessing for you. And this goes for sisters as well. Every brother or sister that you have is a blessing from Allah SWT. And there's a specific reason why they've sent that person down for you. So you can support each other. You can be each other's backbone and each other's moral support. Insha'Allah, I pray that may Allah SWT allow us to become stronger not only as a society, but between brothers as well. And insha'Allah, if we do that, if we form the basic fabric and the basic morals of society, we show examples to our children and to the young of how to behave with one another, how to behave with brothers. And insha'Allah, as they grow, they'll find a galvanized and solid foundation for the community. Insha'Allah, it is only then can we be called a community which has good standing, a community that is ready for the reappearance of the awaited Imam. Alayhi salam. Imam Ali ibn Musa ar-Rava, alayhi salatu wa salam, has said, someone who recites one verse from the Book of Allah, the mighty, the glorious, in the month of Ramadan, is like one who has recited the entire Quran in the other months. As we travel through the world, and we look at how different people from different backgrounds, from different cities and different countries in the world, prepare for the month of Ramadan. We also see how they prepare their day-to-day lives, their day-to-day activities, things like school and work, time for iftar, and how these vary from different parts of the world. And insha'Allah, today we'll be going to Toronto. Toronto is set in the heart of Canada, and it's one of the biggest and most diverse populations that there is. There are many Muslims from different backgrounds, such as Iraq, such as the Khorjeh community, such as the Iranian community, and many others. And they tend to form the crux of the Shia community within the city of Toronto. Obviously, they have their own centres, and each centre works in a slightly different way, as it goes with the tradition and cultures of that particular race. Insha'Allah, I'll be talking a little bit about the information that I've got from the Khorjeh community, as well as the Iraqi community, and insha'Allah, tell you a little bit about what they do. Obviously, as Canada is a non-Muslim country, the working hours don't really change too much, and school continues as usual. But the people try to make use of the time that they have outside these hours in order to make the most out of this month. People, after they come back from work, they usually get together with their families. They have the iftar at home, after which they go to the mosque for majlis. It depends on what time of the year it is. If it's very late, sorry, if the iftar is very late on in the day, the majlis is usually before the time of iftar, and iftar is very early in the evening, then they usually have majlis after iftar. Most centres in Canada don't actually have iftar served within the community centres. I know for a fact that the Khorjeh community in Toronto, in Canada, they have the iftar done at special times during the month, especially during the big occasions, such as wafaaat or wilada. And other than that, the people generally try to eat at home with families, with their local communities, and also Toronto has a wonderful array of different shops which sell halal food, so people do go out to restaurants to eat food. During the Ahmad night, the community comes together. They do the Ahmad together, they pray the dua together. And it brings a sense of unity, a sense of kinship and a bond between different members of the community. Also, the other thing that's interesting with Toronto, due to the large population and in the Khorjeh community, it's many, many thousands of people. And what happens is that they try to get the kids involved. The way they do this is by holding classes. They also have competitions during the month of Ramadan. And sometimes, depending on what time of year Ramadan falls, they also hold short courses. They have things like three or four day retreats for the young children, where they can learn about Islam and do day-to-day things such as activities and sports, especially if it falls during the time of their holidays. In Toronto, there are Majlis which happen in English as well as the local dialect to the mother tongue of the community. And this is helpful for the youth there because as the youth are brought up in the West and they're brought up in the English culture, English is a very important language for us to use within the centres and especially for the people there to use within their centres so it can attract the youth and the youth can understand what is being said. In sha Allah, I pray and I hope that you can send in your videos as well from around the world, from wherever you are so we can see how you prepare your day-to-day lives, your iftar, your work, your school and so that we can also broadcast it on our channel and in sha Allah, let the rest of the world see how your preparation for this month varies from theirs and it will help to build a sense of brotherhood and kinship between the Shi'a population and in sha Allah, we can also get a good idea of exactly how practices vary from place to place with one goal and that being the love of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dearest viewers, Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon each and every one of you. We pray for the protection of Allah to be upon each and every one of you, our dearest viewers. Stay tuned with us as we go inside the markets of the holy city of Karbala to show you the atmosphere of the holy month of Ramadan in the holy city of Karbala. Brothers and sisters, I have one of the builders here. He's one of the store owners here in one of the markets of the holy city of Karbala. I will ask him a few questions. Assalamu alaikum. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon each and every one of you. Can you explain to us how the Karbala city of Karbala was built in the month of Ramadan? Yes, it was built in the month of Ramadan in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, in the month of Ramadan, says no other terrorist and the life is going on and they have they've opened their stores during the whole month of Ramadan without any problem. I ask the brother Rasul about their working time and the working hour during the whole month of Ramadan. He's saying that during the normal days of the year we usually open from morning till after the dusk prayers but in the holy month of Ramadan due to the fast they open their stores after the dusk prayer and after the Eftar and they stay open until late at night 1 or 2 a.m. in the morning. The first decade of the holy month of Ramadan they stay here until 1 and 2 but the last decade of the holy month of Ramadan when we come closer to the Eid and they stay open later for the people of the Karbala to come and buy their stuff for the days of the Eid. In today's medical and health tips inshallah I want to start a new series this series will be over a few shows and I want to call it the stages of life. Obviously with the stages of life we'll talk about different elements of life itself and inshallah today I want to start off with childhood. Obviously childhood can be defined in many different ways by many different people but for myself I want to talk about childhood from birth up until adolescence and inshallah the plan is to number one tell you a little bit about different problems that the children face at each stage of life up to adolescence. Secondly I want to talk about common conditions that you may face and number three I want to give general lifestyle advice and general health tips for parents especially who have young children things like nutrition things like how to help them maintain social circles and inshallah I'll also talk about what to do if you're concerned about any part of their development. First when children are born and you have babies it is said that birth is the most dangerous time for any human being it is the time when most of the human beings tend to be fine and don't have any medical problems but there are a few who have some concerns it's very important that if at birth even if things have gone well but after a few days you've noticed some concerns it's important that you go into your GP so we're talking about things like if your baby is not wetting its nappies properly if it's not passing stool properly if it's yellow in color which could indicate that it's jaundiced it's very important that you go into your GP because there are certain conditions that babies can have at birth but they do not manifest themselves until a few days or few weeks of life in Great Britain we have baby checks so a baby will normally or generally be seen after 24 hours of life by the general practitioner usually it's at least 24 hours of life or a little bit later maybe 48, 72 hours of life and usually they have a checkup make sure the heart's okay make sure there's no other obvious abnormalities make sure that there is no evidence of any spina bifida spina bifida is a condition where you can get the spine which isn't sitting within the vertebral column and as a result it bulges out and protrudes and usually you'll see the GP or the doctor run the hand over the spine of the baby and have a feel to see if there's any protrusions so as doctors we check after 24 hours to make sure the baby's fine however we do a second check in six weeks and the reason we do that are for several reasons when a baby is born the circulation of the baby when it's in the womb is different to our circulation in adulthood and during childhood basically when a baby is born it has many different openings in the body i.e. the blood has shunts so the system bypasses certain things for example in a baby that's in the womb it doesn't require its lungs because it's not breathing so as a result it has a shunt and that's called a patent foramen ovale and that shunt exists between the two top chambers of the heart and normally when a baby is born because of the change in pressures in the lungs when the baby cries for the first time it expels a lot of fluid from its lungs and as it expands the lungs because of the increase in volume the pressure drops and when the pressure drops the pressure in the lungs and the pulmonary system the blood vessels in the lungs drop and as a result the pressure in the right side of the heart drops and that opening in the heart closes because of the pressure changes other openings in the body include what we call a patent ductus arteriosus which is a connection from the heart system the blood in the heart system to one of the major blood vessels in the body called the aorta and the third one is a patent ductus venosum which is essentially an opening which bypasses the liver meaning as a baby is in the womb it doesn't require its liver to be used much because the food or the nutrients it's absorbing is through the mother rather than through the gut so as a result the blood system bypasses the liver as it's not required for metabolism of the food and as a result the babies when they're born go through different stages where these ducts close and when all three of them are closed that's when the system is fully engaged however the first change that you get in a newborn is the closure of the hole in the heart the patent foramen ovale the pressure in the right side of the heart drops but it doesn't drop suddenly it drops very gradually so when you hear the heart of a newborn baby after one day sometimes they don't have a murmur but that's why we have a six week check because sometimes holes in the heart which are not supposed to be there manifest themselves after a few weeks of life because of the pressure changes being very slow after the first day you don't hear these changes because the hole in the heart, the murmur that you hear is caused by turbulence in the blood system and as a result we hear these changes after six weeks so all in all it's very important that number one you have your checkups in time and number two if there's any abnormalities that you as a parent note just don't forget after one day if the baby is fine it doesn't mean there's no problems it just means that there was nothing manifesting itself for that particular time so it's very important to go and see your GP if you're concerned about anything secondly it's very important that babies have the immunizations obviously the immunizations are given after many studies have been carried out in the past babies are immunized against things like measles, mumps, rubella against specific types of meningitis of pneumonia and as a result when they're immunized they tend to lead healthy lives after that and they don't get these very nasty infections so it's very important that you give them the right immunizations at the right time of their lives thirdly regarding feeding a baby it's very important that they're fed regularly if you notice that they're not feeding very well then it's important that you flag this up to your general practitioner especially with really young babies the first signs of something not being quite right an infection is the fact that the baby becomes either doesn't feed very well or it becomes floppy and lethargic the cries may sound different it becomes more muted or cry more it's very important to subtly notice any differences and go and see your doctor if you're concerned about anything finally I just want to talk about breathing problems this is not necessarily newborn babies but in babies who grow up a little bit maybe young sort of maybe 12 month old babies or toddlers and they usually have problems during the winter so usually lung conditions such as bronchiolitis cause issues with their breathing and if you think that their breathing is very difficult you should go and see your general practitioner they can give them antibiotics give them nebulizers which will help them to breathe better in childhood it's very important to try and understand what symptoms are worrying what symptoms are concerning especially for parents in young children who have mentioned may have wheezing or may have breathing difficulties if you see your children really struggling to breathe if you find that they're extremely wheezy go and see your doctor straight away because that could be one of the first signs that something seriously is wrong other signs to look out for is things like recession of the lining of the lung so the chest wall if you're finding recessions and parts of it are sinking in when they're breathing that's a bad sign and also you look at the nose and there's flaring of the nostrils there's again a sign that they're struggling to breathe and to maintain the movement of air in their airways other signs are more systemic things like poor feeding inability to carry on with day to day life so if you find that they're extremely drowsy extremely floppy they're not feeding well if they're not wheezing or if they're not passing stool again all of these are signs of concern and you must go and see your doctor if any of these signs are manifesting themselves as children grow up they tend to become healthier so the most difficult times are during the first couple of years of life and then after that they tend to be more like children and they grow up and they have different needs and their health conditions are different so more common conditions of childhood are things like chicken pox and with that those are self-limiting conditions and if they are concerned about anything as you go and see your doctor but usually they tend to calm down by themselves the main thing about young children is more the social side of things as they grow up they need to have a good social environment a good social network as a parent your duty is not only to cater for their physical well-being so things like food and nutrition but also get them involved with clubs at school for example where they can express themselves socially make friends learn the art of social interaction because this in turn will allow them to become a full and more complete human being as they grow up children are very impressionable so they'll learn things very quickly and it's important that it is at this age that they start learning so if you want them to learn specific arts or specific things in life now is a good time to get them to start learning the next thing that's important to think about is nutrition obviously this changes from time to time during life and during childhood as well in newborn babies nutrition is different and the priorities are different as the children grow up and they wean off mother's milk or milk generally the nutrition again their priorities are different and then as they grow up through young childhood again it's important to provide the right sort of nutrition so we'll talk about newborn babies studies have shown that in newborn babies the best sort of nutrients to give them the best way of feeding them is via breast feeding the reason being is that the mother has all the nutrition that's needed and they can pass it on to the baby and as a result the baby will not require as much nutrition from artificial sources and breast milk is found to have the best form of nutrients within it so if you can try and breast feed your newborns however some mothers find this very difficult and that's understandable because not all mothers are the same not all children are the same and this can obviously cause a child not to take well to breast feeding and if that's the case then that's fine there are other formulas out there that you can use in order to try and give your child the best nutrition that they need thereafter when a child is being weaned off milk on to other things it's important that you start off by giving them semi-solids first so things like yoghurt and there are specialist baby foods that are made pureed foods in which they get the nutrition that they need but at the same time they're not having to eat and chew very hard food and they can digest the food easily thereafter as they grow up and they get into young childhood up towards adolescence that's when you need to give them food in order for them to grow and it is at this stage you try and give them food which is high in vitamins and minerals so fruit is very important vegetables again especially green vegetables which is a good source of iron again give that to the children it's very important to have a varied diet and inshallah I've talked about this in a previous episode so I won't go too much into it but try and give your child the best nutrition that they can at this age one thing I would mention is giving them omega foods that are rich in omega-3 so things like oily fish like salmon and mackerel is very useful inshallah if you look at the episode where I've talked about nutrition give them the food that will give them a balanced diet inshallah they will grow up very healthy and have the nutrition they need in order to help their mind grow and their bodies to grow next with childhood it's important to get them ready for adolescence get them ready for adulthood obviously in children they don't expect them to become adults straight away so they go through this phase in adolescence and in their youth in their teen years and it's very important for you to prepare them for those years because it's said that after the age of 13 if your child doesn't have good intrinsic values if they don't have a good basis a good fundamentals then after the age of 13 they might be very difficult to control and reign in so as a parent it's very important for you to try and get your children to make good friends interact socially with good company and learn the art of social interaction teach them good morals inshallah we'll be talking about parenting in some of the episodes in this series so I don't want to go too much into the spiritual and the moral side of parenting and the roles of parents but essentially what you want to do is encourage them to attend social classes encourage them to play sports because it's important to allow them to grow in a variety of different ways mentally by giving them the right foods stimulating them mentally especially in schools and by doing work with them at home stimulating them physically by allowing them to do sports and also do other activities with their friends and thirdly stimulate them socially because children who by the age of teens and by the age of adolescents who haven't had good social interactions tend to grow up not having that social interaction that ability to interact socially and as a result they have many problems many psychological problems as they grow up they're able to make friends and they get into a downward spiral which can include things like depression and anxiety it's important that you give your child many facets of growth and allow them to develop themselves by doing this finally I just want to mention one other thing that with young children especially it's important that you keep an eye on them obviously in this world that we live in it's very easy to just let your children go and do what they want to do and not keeping an eye on them it's very important that you keep an eye on what they do in school for example make sure that their grades are up to scratch for example make sure that they are interacting socially with their peers speak to the teachers if there's any concerns obviously if there are any social concerns and if the children aren't developing well in school there are other conditions such as autism which may be of concern it's important to flag that up early so the children can go and have the right treatment that they need and inshallah if we do this then our children will grow up to be healthy individuals spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and that's the aim of our society as a whole and our aim as adults inshallah I hope that this segment has been useful for you you can take away some learning lessons and inshallah I hope you build up upon these so that we can have children youth that are able to call themselves the servants of the ahlul bayt and who can grow up and make our community go from strength to strength from strength to strength and expand inshallah if you are a stranger maybe you have confused me with someone else if you ask for forgiveness it is granted to you if you ask for a means of transportation we shall provide it for you if you are hungry we shall feed you if you are in need of some clothes we shall clothe you if you are deprived we shall grant you if you are being sought we shall give you refuge if you have any need we shall fulfill it for you and if you wish to proceed with your caravan when the man heard the words of Imam Hassan peace be upon him he cried and said I testify that you are Allah's heir on his earth Allah surely knows to whom he assigns his message you and your father were the most hated people and hated creatures in my heart but now you are the most beloved creatures to me the man then directed his caravan and became the guest of Imam Hassan peace be upon him insha'Allah in today's episode as we remember the light of the eyes of Amir al-Mu'mineen lady Fatima Imam Hassan al-layhi salam I want to present a poetry a poem and a shied which is dedicated to this personality it's called and it's been written by myself and my brother Abbas insha'Allah we hope that you listen to it and learn something about the life of this great personality we are the second leader from all the imams and we are sending our greetings and we are sending our salams we are your our master we will always say in every second every minute every hour of the day here's the guiding light of all the Ma'minin he'll keep us all on the path of our Ma'minin Ah Hassan has come down from paradise love of Muhammad light of Haider's eyes your face shines brighter than the brightness of the sun cause there is no example greater than you oh Hassan the beloved son of Ali and Faltima in our darkest 90's our guiding star for him this in time universe was made he pray will always be in his shade Ah Hassan has come down from paradise love of Muhammad light of Haider's eyes love of Muhammad light of Haider's eyes someone who recites one verse from the book of Allah the mighty the glorious in the month of Ramadan is like one who has recited the entire Quran in the other months as we conclude another episode of the Ramadan show I would like to leave you with a final few words something to ponder over and think over something that you can take away with you and inshallah every day life as it's the birth of Imam al-Hassan I wanted to think of something about patience and as a keen person who has an interest in philosophy I read the works of many of the philosophers the great philosophers of our time and one of them is Aristotle and one of my favourite sayings from Aristotle is patience is bitter but it's fruit is sweet and that's so true of many walks of life those people who are patient and persistent often find that good things come to them if we use the life of Imam al-Hassan and see where he uses patience in order to overcome his enemy where he uses patience to acquire what's best in this world and in the hereafter where he uses patience to guide us inshallah if we pay heed to these guidance these advices we can move forward in life not only individually but as a community I would like to once again thank you for watching and once again would like to ask you to send in your videos your pictures, your blogs so we can air them and the rest of the world can see how you prepare during this month of Ramadan once again I would like to ask you to please join us on social media on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and finally please don't forget to pray for us in your supplications and inshallah pray for the whole of the Muslim ummah especially those who are in need those orphans and those widows finally don't forget to pray for the most important du'a of them all and that is to pray for the reappearance of the awaited Imam alayhi salam with these final words I wish to bid you farewell wa salamu alaykum jami'an wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
