 to welcome to the live Facebook. Previously on the live Facebook we were discussing theological arguments from the book Haqal Yaqeen by Sayyed Shabbar. Since it is now Muharram and the season of mourning and the season of arbaeen we have discussed and continue to discuss different hadith from the book Qamelu Zia'alat by Sheikh Qubmi. Inshallah we'll be discussing more of these hadith and more about the importance of visiting the shrines of Karbala and Najaf. But before we go into our discussion we would like to take this opportunity to revive a tragic event that occurred in 2006 on the 23rd of Muharram. The famous shrine of Imam Asgari and Imam Al-Hadi was attacked and destroyed by acts of terrorists, enemies of the Ahlul Bayt. When this occurred, I remember when this occurred, the Ayatollah and the Maraja collectively condemned this atrocious act and also issued a week of mourning for the shrine and for the imams, holy imams that are buried and let us not forget who is buried there. None other than the father and the grand father of the Imam of our time, may Allah hasten his reappearance. I would like to introduce my guest, my teacher, my colleague, salamu alaykum sheikh Muhammad al-Basbanju. Wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullah, alhamdulillah wa shukr, wa adhama la ujurana wa ujurakum. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward us for our grief over the persecution and the martyrdom in particular of Imam Al-Husayn and the Ahlul Bayt in general. Sheikh, let's discuss what happened, you know, 12 years ago on Quinta the Muharram. Samarra being a very, very important area for us, arguably the last place that we have seen our Imam, also a place where Imam Hadi is buried, where Imam Hassan Askari spent a lot of his life in the what we call the garrison town, the military compound of Samarra. A place where Imam Hadi was hidden from the enemies and you know it's very, very holy, very, very, there's a lot of events that took place that are very, very close to our hearts, especially because this is the Imam of our time, a little bit on Samarra and its location. Of course, in regards to the city of Samarra, Samarra has always been a strategic city and a city of great importance from a cultural, historical and ideological perspective. If we were to go back to the history of Samarra and perhaps we've talked about this in different shows, in the regards to the civilization and the contribution towards the greater Babylonian civilization from Samarra, this is something that is separate. But in regards to the history of Samarra, particularly with Ahlul Bayt, as you rightly mentioned, Bani Abbas moves the capital of their, of the entire Islamic empire from the city of Baghdad to the military garrison of Samarra. And there was a reason for this. The capital of the greatest empire for the known world at that time to move its capital to a military garrison showed the extent of the threat that the leadership of Bani Abbas were exposed to. A threat that they felt they could not protect themselves until and unless they moved the capital of this entire empire within the constraints of a military garrison. And without doubt, as has been indicated in a number of majalis and by a number of scholars that this fear was due to the Ahadith that prophesied the birth of this Mahdi who would fill the earth with peace and justice and eradicate all oppression and tyranny. So they understood that the Mahdi would come and actualize these goals by eradicating their tyranny and eradicating their dynasty. For this was the movement of the capital to Samarra was a reaction due to the fear from the spread of such hadith. So in a way they were anticipating the birth of the Mahdi and preparing themselves for this so-called threat that's going to they believe. And there was a lot of vagueness in regards to the personality of who that Mahdi was in that sense. So you're absolutely dead on. In regards to the strategy of the city of Samarra, needless to say that Samarra being the hub of Tashayo with the presence of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Asqari made the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them both the Nur of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the teachings the pure teachings of Rasulullah spread across the entire world from the city of Samarra and it is within the city of Samarra that you find that the system of wukala the system of having representatives of the imams who would then go on to spread teachings of the imams and in essence set up a parallel government a hidden parallel government parallel to that of Bani Umayyah all this was coordinated from the city of Samarra for us in particular and in regards to this deadly event that occurred and a very tragic event in contemporary history the bombing and the destruction of the shrines of Imam al-Asqari and Imam al-Hadi and it is important for us to keep alive this memory because it is this persecution which is a part of our identity and a part of our history which people want to eradicate and we must not let them eradicate you find our viewers should be aware that the shrine of Imam al-Asqari and the Imam al-Hadi was exposed to two sets of explosions two attacks it was subject to two attacks the first one on the 23rd of Muharram in the year 2006 when this massive explosion happened that demolished the entire Quba of Imam al-Asqari it came crashing down onto the Dariah and it is important also for us to know here that within the Dariah the Dariah itself contains the grave of Imam Ali al-Hadi alaihi salam the grave of Imam Hassan al-Asqari alaihi salam it also includes the grave of Sayyid al-Narjish the mother of the 12th Imam and Sayyid al-Hakima the auntie of the 12th Imam so you find these four graves within this Dariah so the target was on the target of the family of Imam al-Hadi Imam al-Asqari with the aim of attacking Imam al-Hujjah and then attack on Tashayyu Shi'aizah in its entirety so the first attack we have as per what is recorded by the security apparatus that on the 23rd of Muharram in 2006 this is official security not like journalism this is no this is actual reports that were issued from official ministries governmental ministries from within Iraq that on the 23rd of Muharram 2006 at 7 a.m there were a number of terrorists who entered into the Haram of Imam al-Asqari dressed in military uniform so they came in under the guise that these are officials of the army and as soon as they entered into the Haram they gathered together the local security the Khuddam of the Haram or what was known to be the security apparatus because Samara was very volatile keeping in mind the fall of Saddam and the rise the counter attack of the Ba'athis and Al Qaeda Samara being a city that was primarily primarily made up of Sunni and Shi'a for you have over here that these terrorists come in they round up the security officials of the Haram they tie them up arrest them tie them up inside one quarters of the Haram and according to the reports from the forensic department that was able to come to this conclusion by having looked at seeing the magnitude of the attack within Samara the forensics are of the opinion that 200 kilograms worth of explosives were planted around the Dari and the Qubba of Imam al-Asqari and Imam al-Hadi as they fled they detonated these explosives and there were two detonations that occurred three minutes apart the entire Qubba of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Asqari covered in gold and Allahu A'lam that the weight of this Qubba may have been in tons that it came crashing down upon the Dari not only did it destroy the Dari of Imam al-Asqari and Imam al-Hadi but the impact was such that the debris went through the Dari and into the Saddam this was the actual destruction of the grave the actual grave of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Asqari such that when the officials came up for the cleanup and when the Shi'a got together to dismantle all the debris that was there the Amama of Imam al-Hadi was found within the debris and this was Amama and the sword of Imam al-Hadi and the Dira the armor of Imam al-Hadi and these were things that were kept as treasures within the Saddam of the shrine of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Asqari an impact to this degree where hundreds of other lives were lost the surroundings of the destruction and the extent of the destruction was such that even surrounding buildings were affected by this I think I think it's really important that we really emphasize that this is absolutely abominable as in um imagine if something like this happened to the grave of Rasulullah you know no but I never may never happen but if something like that happened to the grave of Rasulullah his his the items that he was buried with were found they'll be manic in the world the people's heads will be cut off you know yeah and this is the hatred against Ahlul Bayt and hatred against the Shi'a's of Ahlul Bayt because not only was this an ideological crime but there was a political motive behind this as well and you find that our Marja'iyah came to the very forefront to ensure that civil war does not erupt inside of Iraq but at the same time for the Shi'a to be alert at the extent of the attack which the umayyan the Abbas of this time are willing to go you find that the Saddam of Imam al-Hudja was also damaged in this explosion Yani this is an indication that we are waging war against Imam al-Hudja we are waging war against the Shi'a's of Ahlul Bayt and we will come to your quarters and demolish the most sacred aspects of your religion this was the message that was sent out through the bombings and it is our Marja'iyah collectively that came together to ensure that the right steps are taken to confront this manhaj of bloodshed and at the same time ensure there is no sectarian violence that erupts on the grounds of Iraq you find that this was one explosion but you would think that the Nawasib would perhaps take a step back because there was global uproar from the Shi'a in regards to this issue you would think that they would take a step they would take a step back the second bombing took place in Samara again on the 13th June 13th of June 2007 this first bombing in 2006 but less than a year later 2007 they came and they planted bombs around the minarets the minara the minarets that were by the side correct me if i'm wrong Sheikh Nawab but the reconstruction of the shrine would have been going on at that time so it probably wasn't completely finished they were still rebuilding in regards to the reconstruction of the shrine of Samara there is a lot of there is a lot of kalam and there were a lot of barriers and there were lots of bureaucracies that were imposed and you have to keep in mind that Samara again was a hotbed where Daesh was using the outskirts of Samara to attack the Shi'a and to destabilize Iraq in its in its entirety you have to see that the geographic location of Samara and the threats that include that that that surrounded or the threats that were launched from within the city of Samara and around the city of Samara perhaps even the logistics to allow the reconstruction of the shrine that in itself was a challenge in addition to all the bureaucracies and in addition to the politics that happened so this was a time this period 2006 2007 between the two bombings of the Haram of Imam al-Asqari was a very turbulent time from a security perspective yes she our gathering there dismantling the debris but actual actual reconstruction of the Haram we're not able to say mia bil mia that it had started so they've already attacked in 2006 they've already caused so much destruction to the shrine and then a year later they come in and put another explosion there can we say it was the same people or the same mentality it doesn't make sense you know kick someone while they're down they probably it's you've already done so much damage why would you want to do Habibi say it Mohsen why should you be surprised when this has the seal and the footprint of bani omaya did we find anything in history that shows the actions of bani omaya different from what is happening today was it not from the characteristics of bani omaya that they would attack the weak and attack the weak when they are down i have nothing to be surprised this is history coming alive again that history of bani omaya and that history of bani abbas for you would think that they would perhaps go back but la they're adamant on their stance towards the hatred of ahlul bait and it is important that our masajid and our marrakes concentrate and revive this zikr of the bombing of samarra because the issue is not about a building or a shrine being destroyed and now it's being reconstructed la is the symbolism behind that message number one and number two an appreciation of your history in tom yanzawar when you go to samarra do not take for granted samarra the ability and the luxury if i could say you we have of going to the actual haram we need to sit back and realize this haram that we are going into has gone through stages of demolition and attacks throughout history and you will find that this is an important part of our legacy and even for the zawar that are going today respected zawar and lovers of imam al hussain alayhi salam do not leave samarra out of your itinerary khasat in these days of arba'een many times you think he has the traffic to summarize too much the distance towards samarra is too much ya ekhwani we are indebted to imam al haadi and imam al askari we are indebted to sayyid an arjun and sayyid hakeema and ba'ad the sardab of imam al hujja is there the sardab of imam al hujja yani one of the last times that he was seen not yani that he is hiding inside of that sardab or that he was never seen anywhere else apart of our historical legacy that marks our ideology the imam who is in aghaiba this was a place that he was seen yalla and it was made into a mazar and you find that this was also attacked so for us samarra is about going there to pledge our allegiance to imam al hujja ajal allahu ta'ala farajahu sharif and everything and anything needs to be done to ensure that the shi'a visits samarra in large numbers and you have that from the time of the destruction and even before that marja'iya played a great role in reviving the importance of samarra the city of samarra and the shrines of samarra you have that in with this recent bombings that had happened you find that the marja'iya for example of ayatul al-udmah sayed sandika shirazi may Allah grant him and the rest of our virtuous maraja along in a healthy life he took forward the initiative to mark the global day of mourning for samarra such that from karbala al-mukaddas there would be logistics provided for free for anyone who is inside the city of karbala or to come and meet in the city of karbala and from there there would be bus loads of zawar who would be taken at no cost whatsoever under the initiative of the marja'iya to go to samarra to go and revive the shahada of imam al-askari inside of samarra to revive the isti shahada of imam al-hadi from samarra to ensure that television channels have live broadcast from samarra to revive the environment and the ziyara of imam al-hadi and imam al-askari because such bombings had a great impact on not only the city of samarra being a city that is abandoned and broken down to rubble but even within the shi'a this fear and this inability to go and visit samarra such that there was a great period of time where people would visit karbala and najaf for example but would not and bagdad and kath main but would not dare to go to samarra you find that the marja'iya came forward and stepped up and said no samarra can not be neglected events such as these for example and then you have for example dedicating the last friday of shahru ramadan as the day in which the honor and the respect of imam al-askari and imam al-hadi is revived where again masses go for pilgrimage to the shrines of imam al-hadi and imam al-askari and you have even before this the revival of samarra even almost 200 years ago you know samarra for a period of time hosted the hausa ilmiya for the shi'a so just like the way you have the hausa ilmiya in qom and you have the hausa ilmiya in najaf we had many hausat that were the core of shi'a studies we had the hausa in isfahan we had the hausa in hillah and similarly you find that after the death of sheikh murtada al-ansari when the grand marja'iya was taken over by one of his students by the by the name of ayatollah al-ozman known very famously as mujaddid al-awwala shirazi mirza muhammad hasana shirazi great grandfather of the current marja ayatollah sainsadika shirazi for ayatollah mirza muhammad hasana shirazi he was the leader number one of the tobacco revolution in iran to ensure that the colonial companies would not have total control of the tobacco industry inside of iran which they were using as a foothold to colonize the entire iran you have that ayatollah mirza hasana shirazi issued the fatwa for that triggered the tobacco revolution for this same marja takleed during his period of the marja'iya moved and migrated from najaf al-ashraf to samar raha and with him he established and revived the city of samar raha not only did the city thrive as it's as a city economically and socially but you find that an entire jeel generation of ulama were nurtured within this hausa ilmiya of samar raha and you can find over here that from it is events like these that show us the historic importance of the city of samar raha and again i emphasize it is important for us locally within our centers brothers and sisters to revive the dhikr the commemoration of the destruction of the shrines of samar raha number one and number two to ensure that samar raha is a confirmed destination within our itineraries when it comes to performing the ziyara of imam al-Hussein whenever we go to karbala samar raha has to be a stopping point not only does it have to be a stopping point you know a transit and this is with all love and with all ehtaram to i say i say this to the zawar of imam al-Hussein and to the leaders of the different kafalas and the hamlas that go out there ekhwani samar raha in my opinion should not even be a transit point where hours are just spent two or three hours to do the ziyara and then yalla we move on to bakdad and to qadmein why not spend the night inside of samar raha and the last year i remember we were with blessed to be with imam hussein tv and we were doing recording inside the shrine of samar raha and we spent the entire night in samar raha and the haram was opened the entire night this was in the days of ashura and there were groups of zawar from iran from pakistan from azar bayjan who would spend the entire night in the haram and there would be azadari going on and the recitation of quran and others who are sleeping in the sahan the ataba provided for them blankets and pillows and food allahu akbar the ataba was providing for the zawar breakfast lunch and dinner and there are other i remember we were there the zawar there was a group of zawar from pakistan and perhaps a bus two buses of maybe hundred hundred twenty people and they were doing their azadari till four in the morning before salat al-fajr they asked permission from the ataba and the food supplies that they have traveled with to feed themselves they decided that they want to cook this outside they got permission from the ataba to cook they cooked the the rice what they commonly called pilaw pilaw rice yes the rice with meat they cooked it and they distributed it to all the zawar this is samarra this is imam al-hadi this is imam al-askari and we need to ensure that through our visitations we are able to revive the city of samarra in its entirety inshallah asen sheikh asen thank you very much we are due for a short break now but inshallah we'll be carried on a discussion and also inshallah sheikh will be introducing a new hadith which we'll be discussing after the break please join us after the break salamu alaykum rahmatullahi wabarakatuh salamu alaykum rahmatullahi wabarakatuh welcome back to the live facebook inshallah we'll now go through the book qamilu ziarat by ibn kawloi sheikh ibn kawloi inshallah sheikh last week we were discussing having the right intention and the right near to go to the ziyarah and this intention of renewing your um bayat towards the ataba and to show your love to rasulullah and to declare your love for the ahlul bayt sometimes it's very difficult for people to go and ziyarah i mean a lot of us have mortgages or student loans to pay off tickets i don't know this sheyh farbani the tickets are extra 100 200 pounds compared to last year maybe to do with the time or even the demand it can get very very expensive sheikh for for people to go and do ziyarah what does the sharia have to say in regards to that and and and the book as well does do they mention anything in regards to expenses on ziyarah ah santum said mosin this is a very important question and a contemporary this is a contemporary issues that we face year to year my first comment would be the leaders of the groups or the groups that embark upon this noble act of taking zawar and facilitating for zawar to go to iraq without doubt they they incur expenses but what we are trying to say is out of love for imam al hussain if the groups are able to for example reduce their profit margins if they are able to reduce the the profits that they make for example per zawar in order to facilitate for more and more zawar to go their reward is with imam al hussain and their reward is with rasoolullah and sayyidat in isa'il alameen for every pound or every dollar that is reduced within this mock-up within this profit margin sayyidah shohadah shall give them a million fold more not only in the akhira but inside of the dunya this is one to facilitate for more and more people to come such that a person should never come and say that i could not be a zair of imam al hussain because i could not afford a package let us try and work this is one number two a communal initiative where there is funds where there is donations for people who want to go for the ziyarah of imam al hussain but cannot necessarily afford it this is amal khair this is where generosity comes oni i see that okay i'm going for ziyarah and there are a number of people we start together we start a fund we start a trust for example and this is a trust which is in the name of imam al hussain for the ziyarah of imam al hussain such that it can be a revolving trust as well it can be a revolving trust in the sense that the person is able to for example slowly by slowly pay off the amount for the ziyarah or slowly by slowly repay back that kardul hasana for example so there are a number of things that can be done from a communal level so if one hand you have the hamalat looking to reduce their margins on the other hand you have community initiatives for example to reduce the or to help and to give donations to reduce towards the cost this is number two number three you have on the other hand inside of iraq for example there are a lot of the mawakibs a lot of the hussainians they open their doors and they provide and they allow and they facilitate for the zawar to come there without any cost to come into sleep and to eat and to use their services to facilitate free of charge facilitate for the ziyarah of imam al hussain because they say this is a zair of aba abdillah he's come to pledge bayat to aba abdillah i will be his khadim by serving him i am serving imam al hussain there is this as well and there is a lot of kalam and perhaps even kalam shadeed on this nidam of the hotels for example that set or monopolize certain rates and create yani and they come and they create a monopoly where they set the rates of the hotels at a at a certain price that is perhaps taking advantage of the season of arbaeen where a normal rate would be for example 20 dollars within arbaeen you come and you find the rate has spiked up to 100 dollars in this sense and these are things that we see and these are things that need to be corrected and saheen from a fikha perspective nobody is forcing anybody to go and live at the hotel and yes they have got their own costs but kalam again refers back if you are able to reduce your profit margin to facilitate for more zawar the reward is from imam al hussain the owner of jannah himself for everybody plays their part in trying to reduce the costs that are incurred by the zawar in order to facilitate for maximum participation this is one on the other hand if i have to sacrifice some of my luxuries live luxuries even if i was supposed to sacrifice some of the necessities in life in order to perform the ziyar of imam al hussain perform the ziyar of imam al hussain perform the ziyar of imam al hussain because that money that is spent in the way of imam al hussain the khayr and the barakat that will come back to you in the dunya before the akhira people have seen mojizat and those of risk have opened up for them from avenues that they never ever imagined by the barakat of imam al hussain and we have millions of stories millions of stories and they're inside of london over here one person i know myself a very good friend of mine struggling with his job in the department in a corporate company struggling with his job layoffs and this and that and we see we see with all the brexit and everything happening how unstable the companies are man's took a hit he said i will sacrifice and i will this is money that is not on the side it's not part of my savings i needed went spent six seven hundred pounds for a ziyara comes back from imam al hussain two three months later he's not only he was of the threat he was under threat that he's going to get laid off leave him being laid off leaving him his job being stable subhanallah habibi guy got a promotion he got boosted up his rank to managerial position this is imam al hussain you are talking about the one whom Allah has given everything in the koun to be inside his power so we need to have that iman and we need to have that yakin let me read for you a hadith from kamil ziyarat ibn qawla way rahmatullah alayh in this regards to the ziyara and spending in the way of imam al hussain he says hadith sharif an ibn sinan kultul ibn abiy abdillah alayhi salam abidak inna abaka kana yakul fil hadj yuh sablahu be kul dirham anfaqahu alf dirham fa maliman yanfuk fil masir ila abika al hussain ibn sinan says to imam al sanik your father used to say the one who spends money or incurs expenses on the way to hajj for every dirham incurred in expenses Allah shall reward him with a thousand dirhams he says what about spending money or incurring expenses on the way to the ziyara of your father hussain the reward for hajj is what alf dirham for every dirham use incurring expenses Allah will reward you with alf dirham thousand dirham yani imam al hussain is what look at the answer fa qal alayhi salam ibn sinan yuh sablahu be dirham alf wa alf hatta adda ashura wa yarfa alahu min ad darajat he says that for every dirham spent in the way of imam al hussain every dirham incurred as an expense every pound every dollar incurred as an expense in the way of imam al hussain Allah will reward you with a thousand and a thousand and a thousand and a thousand until the imam went 10 times yani a thousand thousand alf alf in arabic is a million yes so a million times a thousand times a thousand times a thousand times a thousand in the ashura you marikali how many zeros you want to add infinity Allah will reward you with infinity for every dirham spent now we know baba it pinches 400 pounds 500 pounds 600 pounds for a ticket to visit imam al hussain sarahat and it's not easy us and the imam al hussain sees this i say this too is the war of imam al hussain imam al hussain sees this enter he feels the pinch that you have gone through in order to visit him and when he knows that you have gone through the stress to visit him your imam smiles at you have this yakeen every za'ir have this yakeen when you go to karmala and you look at that kumban you enter into the darih imam al hussain is smiling at you because he sees the distress with which you have gone in order to visit him our maula our maula is way too generous than to turn somebody who has gone through this much effort our maula is more generous than to turn him back empty-handed and this imam and this yakeen has to be there and we all take our we all play a part in trying to make and facilitate for the ziyara to be financially easier and let me take this opportunity how much time do we have remaining for the segment when we're walking and majority of the zawar from the west they walk to karmala or a number of them walk to karmala from najaf so from najaf to karmala this highway that we have which is very famously known as the highway of heaven and this is the highway of moa jizad moa jizad sayid mohsin inshaAllah if we are blessed with another episode i'll narrate to you some of the miracles that have happened on this highway of heaven tariq al jannah is known as the highway of heaven where you have the 1400 poles and you're walking mawakib that are there with a smile on their face they are serving the zawar of imam al hussein like you and i with food and with drink and those who don't have money for anything they come and they stand with a box of Kleenex enter zair imam al hussein wipe your sweat wipe your tear with my Kleenex food in abundance they force you to eat plenty of tea plenty of tea chayabu ali ahsanto sayid mohsin let me shed light on one reality and this is for all our respected zawar majority of these mawakibs they are not funded or receive funding from any external institution not from the government not from anybody else yes the marjaia has funds that are set aside to help but to its capacity and you find that a lot of these people within this mawakib they would spend from their personal money to feed you and i and these are not people who are rich these are not people who are sitting on the oil wells these are not people who have assets and investments outside of the country when they are and they are spending from disposable cash that is there or savings that are not needed la we've seen mawakib people sell furniture and we are on this channel of imam al hussein with the baraka of imam al hussein kassam billah people have sold furniture such that they can go with that money buy a lot of falafel and sell it and provide the distribution for the zawar you have people who have used up their entire savings and this is hard labor work minds are not sitting in office jobs in air conditions labor work saving money sweat and toil they save it together same for what purpose feed the zawar of imam al hussein we've had people who have delayed the marriages of their children so that they can use that marriage fund in order to feed the zawar of imam al hussein you and i you and i we have a responsibility to assist these mawakib financially support these mawakib and reduce the financial burden from them we are in this movement of arbaeen together much as we are recipients of hospitality we also have to contribute back to that hospitality to the extent that we can and keeping this reality in mind ahna at imam hussein development and relief foundation charity established over here with roots inside of karbala we have embarked upon a project known as the arbaeen water campaign where the idea is to distribute one million water bottles one million to the zawar one million sayid mohsin trust me with 30 million zawar coming one million water bottles is nothing in fact one million water bottles divided over 1400 mawakibish peanuts this is an embarrassment for me to tell you one million bottles we have 30 million but zawar each jahir eklish consumes two or three water bottles a day we need to be looking at 60 million 90 million water bottles to be distributed in any case whatever little is done in the way of imam al hussein is accepted and the need has to be khalisa for we have embarked upon a project of one million water bottles to be distributed towards or one million water bottles to be supplied let me correct myself one million water bottles to be supplied to the mawakibs who then distributed to the zawar and the idea is by supplying the mawakibs with one million water bottles we are able to reduce the financial burden by that amount on the mawakibs you and i both have worked in hussein years a number of the zawar musahideen levels of ahlul bayt have worked in hussein years have funded majalis have funded seminars and events you know it is the smallest and the simplest things that add up we're just now from what we are what we have confirmed is that at the moment the price of one carton of water one carton is equivalent to a pound twenty one pound twenty this one carton that costs you one pound twenty can get you 60 water bottles the 200 milliliter cups okay okay so if you can imagine that you are supposed to give out a thousand of these cartons you know 60 000 water bottles the small 200 milliliter water packet 60 000 is nothing 60 000 i mean if you're distributing baba if you were sitting ah santum it's nothing it's done correct 60 000 that's a thousand but calculate a thousand times a pound twenty that's a thousand pounds every mawkib is using for 60 000 the cost is considerable when you look at it from their perspective for ahna we've taken upon this initiative and with the cooperation of our generous mu'mineen mu'minant lovers of imam al hussain let us be a part of the movement of arbaeen and try and contribute towards this great movement such that we are also part of this hospitality we can say to imam al hussain ya abba abdillah even we played a small role in quenching the thirst of your zawar ya hussain for pound twenty person makes whatever contribution that he can such that the logistics are already there on the ground in terms of getting these cartons of water supplied and distributed to the mawkibs that are there in need and to ensure that we all play our part in reducing the financial burden from the people of the mawkib inshallah i think it's very i can't believe how easy it is for someone who may not be participating in the arbaeen walk in the mashayah this year but for them to still be a part of the mashayah for them to you know help a mawkib be a part of a mawkib for just one pound twenty that's a box and you get what sixty capsules of water which is the the little boxes they get with the 200 ml one latif alhamdulillah was shukr and this is from the barakat of say the shuhada you know every year we have this chance to be a part of this movement of imam al hussain i don't know if i'm going to be alive or not next year but this is my chance whether i'm going to karbala or not going to karbala to be a part of this movement to quench the thirst of the zawar of aba abdillah number one and number two to reduce the financial burden on these mawkib and these servants of imam al hussain this is the idea to reduce the burden from their shoulders in terms of financial strain that's and thank you very much thank you for inspiring us inshallah to get more involved with the mawkib and inshallah get more involved with arbaeen and inspiration is from imam al hussain and to remind us that whatever we invest is not too little at the same time don't worry about you know your budget or don't worry about putting yourself out there or in discomfort financially for aba abdillah is the one who definitely look after us and inshallah will definitely provide before you end let me just give you this one incident that came into my mind please and perhaps this was yesterday during the day and perhaps uh is uh the posters and the campaigns for this arbaeen project gets distributed on social media and so on so forth had a boy who's probably 12 or 13 years old not more 12 13 according to what he seemed to me he comes up to me yesterday he says shak abbas and we have this deposited yes honey if i tell you between you and me i kiss this coin and put it on my forehead he gave me a two pound two pound coins one pound one pound two pounds he gave me these two coins he said sheikh sheikh abbas this is from my pocket money and the lunch money i have these two pounds i want to be a part of the army of imam hussain can can i do it with two pounds when the child comes and he gives what he has in terms of his pocket money and it is our responsibility that we nurture this type of generosity within our children i kiss this child on the forehead and i say to him my brother you have a faster path towards jannah than me things that have come in for nothing is too small and nothing is too little in the way of imam al hussain aleyhis salam this is the safina to najat ya ahi it is moving towards jannah whether we want to embark on it upon it or not is up to us but and i'm not saying either that you're coming on the safina to najat is conditional upon you contributing towards the water project la abadan la everybody serves imam al hussain in the way that is possible for them but what i'm saying is that sometimes we seek inspiration even from children perhaps they come to become the greatest source of inspiration than other individuals that we may be from sometimes it's the simplest minds that how much a lot show us
