 في today's show with this following da'a in his honor and in his allegiance وليا نوحا فضائدا ودليلا وعدتا آات اسكنه أرضك طوعة وتمتعه فيها برحمتك يا أرحما الرعا اللهم صلي على محمد مؤالي محمد او الله سنجو بيس يو بلسنك and our salutations upon محمد and the family of محمد and hasten the reappearance of امام الغائم and distance us from those who showed enmity toward أهلبيت عليهم السلام. Dear viewers you may have joined us around 15 minutes ago and our most sincere apologies for the technical difficulties despite the amount of investment sometimes technical difficulties can overcome. So forgive us for our shortcomings but we are back and of course you've just heard the voice of my dear guest. We're not going to be formal and say welcome to the show etc. This is your home of course and you know you're one of the brothers here and you've traveled down from Manchester the land far far away that no one ever knows of of course no only kidding. And you've come to join us. You've come to join us to celebrate the birth of the away to save and I just wanted to start very generically. When you were younger and your parents would say that name إمام المهدي. إمام المهدي. إمام المهدي. What did it mean to you guys and your family? So for us بسم الله الرحمن الرحمن الرحيم I'd like to thank our dear brothers with Man for Saying TV for inviting us for this show. Insha'Allah may Allah bless them all. The name محمد المهدي when we were younger and other brothers and sisters when we were younger in the mosque the name was simply just a mere symbol of a ساوية. A symbol okay. A salvation for all. Of course the details of how this will happen and what's going on it was it was a mere misc and blur but as we grew older we came to understand that in time the timescale something will happen eventually and it's quite hard to understand when you're younger that something has been written already. Yeah. In a timescale yet you're not in that timescale just yet. But it gave a sense of satisfaction that although we see the corruption in the world and what's happening there will be some form of justice to avenge those ones who were given injustice. It's like an element of hope. No of course. Yeah. And I think that name when it was mentioned to us as children again it's that notion of despite oppression despite hatred in the world despite how far we've gone from perfection in the time when the Prophet was delivering the message to where we are now. Okay. And we've deviated so far away from a perfect household that this man is there in the wings waiting and waiting patiently and hurt more than we are. And that symbol of hope for the sheikh. I would give you is to give you a bit of a flavor as to what today is going to be about. You may have joined us last week when we're celebrating the birth anniversary of the kings of Karbala. And we were quite informal. But our goal was very simple. And it was to rejuvenate that love and emotion and connection with ألمحمد within you. And of course today we'd like to do the same. But with our dear awaited saviour. So we'll do this by sharing a few أحديث a few narrations with you about him in different aspects. Sayyid will deliver some poetry written by various poets from across the lands. And again, our goal is to connect. But during the show, to get you guys involved, we do have a quiz for you guys to partake in. We would love you to partake in. And if you win it, there is this absolutely beautiful canvas إن شاء الله one of the camera man can try and get this on shot. It's a beautiful picture, a canvas off the قبر, off the shrine, off إمام الحسين. So please do take part. And to give you the number, be ready to take it down. I'll reiterate it in the show. If you're in the UK plus 44, 0203 515019. So just to reiterate that it's 0203 515019. And make sure of questions. It's all for a bit of a laugh. And إن شاء الله something educational as well. Sayed, I want to start with a حديث إن شاء الله with your permission. And this is regarding the name of إمام المهدي. عليه السلام. عجل الله تعالى فرجو الشريف. Where we kind of, you know, many different titles attributed to him and in the quiz. That's one of the, one of the questions. We won't give it away. But there's something really beautiful where إمام الصادي عليه السلام was asked the reason for the قائم being named المهدي. So Holy 6th Imam was asked what the reason was for our way to see him being named المهدي. Meaning the guided. And he said because verily he is guided to every hidden issue. And I really believe if there's one thing that we take away from today it's this. That's because verily he is guided to every hidden issue. Be that your personal issue. Be that a family issue. Be that a financial issue. Be that a worldly issue corruption. Verily he is guided to every hidden issue. And that's that symbol. Yeah. I mean it's with this situation when people do go through hardships in their life. Naturally one would turn to a higher power regardless of faith or anything like that. So when they go to a higher power they're asking for a higher power for some form of help. Intercession. Something like that. And sometimes they don't get what they hope for and they become pessimistic towards this higher power. And they worry. They worry. They get anxious. They stress. And this is like an endless cycle that literally can go on for years or towards the end of their life. But the way that Allah سبحانه وتعالى works through the أهل البيت is he either gives you it, delays it, or provides you something better. And through the أهل البيت for example through المهدي عجل الله فرد الشريط it makes it that much easier to achieve what you want to achieve be it one way or another we'll still achieve the end goal. And it's something beautiful that we are blessed those who have come to understand who the أهل البيت are. They are blessed to understand that these individuals really are in intercession both in this life and the afterlife just to make our lives easier. So it really is a blessing. And it's a name that we look up to it's a name that we celebrate and it's quite apt that this day comes 15 days before the start of the month of Allah سبحانه وتعالى of course Shah Ramallah and it's from tonight where if our preparation hasn't already began in the holy month of Rajab then tonight we have a 15-day countdown to say you know what Imam I know you're looking at every small good and bad that I'm doing I know you're even looking at the neutral the مباه that I'm doing and tonight's that pledge 15 days I can start getting into a positive habit I can get rid of the negative habit that I may have and insha'Allah then insha'Allah Ramadan I'm not kind of wasting the first 15 instead I'm 15 days ahead already Excellent That's it through the عمال through the mental preparation as well as of course for Ramadan the preparation for that this could be some sort of starting point The catalyst That's it and insha'Allah through these nights we do many things عمال we also do صلاة ذكر charity and part of what we've got prepared today is different pieces of poetry yes linking into what you said about what we were saying about the intercession we have these brothers say it أحمد from Texas Texas we have Shi'a's in Texas we learn something new every day الحمد لله they've got a good community a thriving community and they are poets who have come through to the TV channels and come understanding that there are ways to serve the Ahl al-Bait through poetry and they've written a piece here today and this is more of a piece which comes in asking and saying what will happen when أمان المهدي will come so insha'Allah we will recite some of the pieces that they've wrote when he comes oh my master you hear and you see by the will of the Almighty I have cried upon you for help please listen to my plea you tell us that if we were to know all of us we would die oh master without you when was I ever alive and the sun moves across the sky searching for you it burns in the summer's longing to shine for you oh Imam the oppressors fear your imminence returns to us for they shall again witness the valor of Ali and Abbas the world shall be drowning in the sea of ignorance the likes of which none have ever witnessed then a savior more beautiful than all shall rise he shall bring back to life humanity as it slowly dies oh master you shall return to cleanse this earth of tyranny who better to do this than the one whose embodiment is purity your status be such that you were the peace that consoles Zainab bint Ali and in the tragedy stroke Islam on the plains of Karbala yet when asked Zainab would say nothing but beauty I saw it is because you are the beauty she had seen and you are the one that shall revive your grandfather's great lean I'm praying for your return is an honour by Allah for none just anyone deserves to see the great Hajj a Salaman shall be in awe at the greatness of your kingdom Prophet Khidr shall see from you the pearls of wisdom in your blessed beginning united are the east and west you shall return the rights of every oppressed none will have the courage to rule and contest this world this world be it a prison by your hand shall become blessed صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم من السيد there is a lady that they know Zainab Naqvi her health is quite poor and she will be having a heart operation she is only four years old she will be having a heart operation later this week so if we can ask the dear brothers and sisters to make a dua for her for a fast recovery إن شاء الله إن شاء الله through the intercession of Imam Al-Qaim and through the intercession of Imam Al-Sajad مريض Karbala may Allah يسوي على نفسها to make her speedy recovery إن شاء الله and such a beautiful line within there alluding to say the Zainab عليه السلام يالة فاراة الحسين and we await the one who will avenge the blood of Imam Al-Hussain عليه السلام we do have our first caller on the line who wanted to give the quiz a ghost I'm honored to ask and say السلام عليكم ورحمة الله and welcome to the show our dear brother أحسنتم thank you so much for joining ماذا is your name and which part of the world are you calling us from? My name is Minhaal Khasaj. I'm calling from London. First of all, I'd like to congratulate the whole Ummah on the birth of Imam Mahdi. May Allah bless you and your family and our sincere congratulations from all of us here to you, dear brother Minhaal. Are you ready to ... did you say you're from London? Yes. Amazing. Cool. Are you ready to take the quiz? Inshallah. Are you sure? Yeah. I mean, are you certain? Yeah. Inshallah. Okay. Here we go. So, it's five questions and we'll get going. Inshallah. I don't think there's a time limit. So, you know, but, you know, maybe five seconds. I don't know. When things are taken too long, you can say Inshallah. Inshallah. So, first question. When is Imam Mahdi's birthday? 50th of Shaaban. Correct. I shouldn't tell you if you've got the answer right. You know, you'll find out at the end. So, second question. Who does Zlatan Ibrahimovic play for? LA Galaxy. LA Galaxy. Okay. Interesting answer. What is the name of our Holy 12th Imam's father? Imam Hassan العسكري. Okay. Okay. And what is the capital city of Mexico? Mexico city? You'll find out a little bit later. I mean, Google's quite powerful, but hopefully you won't cheat. No, no, no. And the final question for you is where was Imam Mahdi born? سامر. I can't say whether you've done all the questions correctly or not, but I think there's a decent feeling. Inshallah, you'll find out at the end of the show if you've won Brother Minhal. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. No, not at all. Remember us in your praise, Inshallah. سلام عليكم. Take it. سلام عليكم. So, with that, I wanted to continue a little bit of what we were discussing. And this was to actually bring in the grandmother of our Holy 12th Imam, Inshallah. Sayyid al-Fatima. And one of her beautiful titles as we were aware is المباركة. Coming from the one who is given abundance. Sure. And kind of just to give it a very basic understanding behind that, you know, the very superficial level for all I know, which is, of course, the Holy Prophet was teased as Abtar, the one whose lineage was cut. Sure. And through Sayyid al-Fatima, عليه السلام, he was bestowed كوفر and abundance. And مباركة. An everlasting flow of sadats and Sayyids. And Alhamdulillah, we have one here to testify. There we go. Inshallah. So, I wanted to narrate this Hadith, Inshallah, which the Holy Prophet says, قلاد, تايدينس to you, Oh Fatima, for verily the Mehdi will be from you, i.e. from your descent. And we have many of these Ahadith, in fact, where the Holy Prophet eludes to this coming from off his great-great-great-great-grandson that will come and rule the earth. So, just in very simple kind of words, very clear evidence from the Holy Prophet eluding from Fatima al-Zahra, عليه السلام, that this incredible personality would come from. I want to touch again on that poem, actually. There was a line in there, if you can bring it up. Where it mentioned about عباس عليه السلام. Sure, yeah. I mean, it was linking about Fatima al-Abbas and Imam Ali, عليه السلام, just through a poetic joining and he says, Oh Imam, the oppressors for your imminent return to us, for they shall again witness the valor of Ali and Abbas, the power of these two individuals and that was displayed many years ago. It was something very unique and iconic. A lot of movies you see, Hollywood movies and things like that, they base some of these courageous acts and a lot of people stay actually, these stem from certain individuals but this is the actual reality of what happened but it's not just through their strength, it's through their actions in their life and how they acted. It's the scholarly nature عليه السلام obviously we're all very familiar with when you go to Kufa and that's the location where he passed down judgments, et cetera. It's that same scholarly level that no doubt we'll see in Imam Al-Qa'a and that same ability to communicate to the masses and make them realize what an incredible man this is that's before us. It will be something not seen by the world. They say in the Ahadith when the Imam does reappear it will be a time where you can see him when he's not here or when you're not with him. So for example now there's technology, there's TV so you can see him but you're not literally present with him. Clearly there are indications that something is building up and certain things that are going around the world and the incidences and the tragedies that are happening around the world are all indicators that time and time is coming close of course we can't pinpoint to date of when the Imam will arrive but there are indications but with these things we can only reflect upon ourselves and what we have done as a community as a world and in preparation a humanitarian and how are we working together for the betterment of mankind and there's a dear brother said he's written a poem he's speaking apologizing to the Imam and he reflects about what's happening in this world and this is a spoken word piece so he says I'm sorry but what can I do I'm sorry but what can I do is it you waiting for me or am I waiting for you I feel cold and I shiver a cold that goes beyond the skin deep it fells and unfells it's fingers seeping into my pores to my bones to my core to my soul it's a cold you can't shake a feeling you can't break but there's a small warmth a kind of presence I feel that reaches deep like a blanket it envelops and it's the sun behind the cloud I feel it I feel you your presence guiding from afar and it melts the icicles that have formed in my heart and fills me with a content full of bliss and now invasion after invasion is this our history to colonize or be colonized ruthless simple smart ingenious and strategy have a crisis to make the people afraid people that are afraid are easier to manipulate follow the money the green blinds causing rivers of red it's just controlled hysteria and we're seen again in Syria a reason now to continue increasing their numbers it's all a bit too convenient to want wonders and now even amongst our Shi'ais we have become extreme we are the oppressed and what do I see? don't be asleep Oh Imam I'm sorry but I feel lost new leaders keep appearing and they prey on emotions they prey on the weak and all around me I see a difficult way of life every day I question the choices I make maybe I'm wrong and what I see on TV is right so appealing their lifestyle so glamorous but I don't see the beauty rather the lack of fundamentals I don't see how superficial chasing pleasures are Oh Imam I'm sorry Oh Imam I'm sorry أحسنت أحسنت it's quite yeah it's quite touching it's a frustration I think that many people hold and you know atheists especially will come up with that argument of saying if this God of yours is so merciful and so loving why is it that there's so much oppressionism in the world why is it that almost every country in the Middle East has gone through at least 10 civilian deaths you know through money paid by tax payers in the west like why is this happening it's really about trying to understand the difficulty and the oppression of the world right now and the mercy of Allah and trying to fathom that really takes a lot of Iman and strength and again and just to the viewers I want to point you towards this book in شاء الله because maybe last week you saw me referring to this this is a book called The Scale of Wisdom الميزان الحكمة and very simply it's just a huge compilation of Ahadith from the Imam so if you have a topic like jealousy there's hadith if you have a topic about friendship there's hadith if you feel you're going through depression there's hadith if you want to know about the proof of the certain Imam there's hadith and it's just a nice it's like a psychopedia that we can always refer to and again why do I say this because there is a hadith in here from Imam Sajad where he talks about the difficulty for the شاء whilst they're waiting and kind of the reward for them for having their patience within them so he says Imam Sajad عليه السلام he says when our Qa'im will rise Allah will remove all defects from our شاء powerful when our Qa'im rises Allah will remove all defects from our شاء He will make their hearts like pieces of iron and he will make the strength of a man from among them equal to the strength of 40 men they will be the rulers and chiefs of the earth and you know there's obviously a lot of poetic license and there's no doubt or you know the Imam trying to paint some imagery to us but at the same time there's a level of patience and reward that comes with this that those شاء who every Thursday night and you know we've seen the pictures of Masha the Jam Quran in Iran where you see them yearning you know Alhamdulillah was there when you choose an item that you could sense a yearning for this man that people longed for and craved for and could even smell to an extent and they were there reciting and when you got to the part of the 12th Imam you know that roar and that eruption and it's it's that soul within the Shi'a that we want to awaken Insha'Allah and I find you know especially on this night this 15th of Sha'aban where of course we celebrate ourselves but at the same time we reflect and we say if Imam were to be here tomorrow did I make the cut you know football trials did I really put the effort in did I make the cut is coach going to pick me for the you know the first 11 on Sunday or have I fallen short depends which team I suppose depends which team of course there you go any more poems for I say this yeah sure I mean just linking in to that Shi'a power and when you are saying about when the Imam will rise you can insert the whole concept of leadership we have a poem written by our dear brother صادق دماني and it goes by the title of our leader our leader the shining star our leader and it's just it's more of us calling for the Imam asking for him his leadership which is so required in this day and age and just before you recite it I'm afraid there's a cliffhanger because we have a call and we don't want to leave from waiting we do permission Insha'Allah Insha'Allah سلام عليكم سلام عليكم سلام عليكم شكرا لكم هل يمكنكم أن تشاهد أمامكم شكرا لكم my name is Umul Benin and I'm calling from London أحب to have you on the show and our deepest congratulations to you and your family on the birth of our dear awaited saviour are you doing anything special on this night well do you know what

off your du'as on a lighter note are you ready to take the quiz yes I'm ready Insha'Allah Insha'Allah okay so five questions again we won't have a time limit say perhaps you can ask the first question sure so the first question is what is the name of Imam Mehdi's the mother of Imam Mehdi yes mother say it now we can't tell you if it's correct or we have to just keep a you know the kind of like that blank face just sure looks stern okay second question Vladimir Putin is the leader of which country Russia okay say it where will Imam Mehdi make the capital of his Khalifa not London not London not London not London not London not God okay okay the den is the home of which English football club repeat that sorry so the den the den is the home of which English football club Subhanallah I have no idea I'm just going to say I'm just going to say Arsenal okay okay it's actually it's a football club that it's a football club that it's a football club that slightly hostile though I've enjoyed my visits there in the past but in any case say the last question and the last question name one of Imam Mehdi's titles quite a straight forward one okay so he is Al Qaim so like the one that will arise and such from Ali Mohammed I thank you for that definitely this is the thank you so much for joining us may Allah accept your عمل and your families and you'll find out towards the end of the show if you'll be receiving this beautiful canvas Insha'Allah thank you for joining us say it you're about to give us an ashid about leadership towards Imam Mehdi so I leave it to you our leader our leader

your name displays across the sky's blue maze replacing these sun's rays these sun's rays you're pure beauty you're pure beauty my eyes are الويت you're pure beauty our leader our leader the shining star our leader our leader our leader the shining star our leader our dear awaited savior may Allah hasten his reappearance our dear viewers we'll be back in just a few minutes so you can go grab your tea your coffee whatever it is and inshallah we'll see you very briefly after the break بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم our dearest viewers inshallah you had enough time to just get that second sugar in your tea because you know you're allowed to be a little bit festive on this evening um whilst we welcome you back i wanted to divert our attention inshallah towards دعا العهد um a دعا recommended to recite after uh fajr prayers in the morning a دعا that is said that if you recite it for 40 consecutive mornings after your fajr prayer then you'll have the opportunity to meet the Imam in person um and there's in you know the the دعا is in it just incredible it's it's beautiful but i wanted to share just a couple of parts of it if i may um two parts so the first is the bit where it starts with so this part it says oh الله renew for him my covenant and look at the power of this line renew for him my covenant هلالم strokes من my 등 in the morning of this day of mine and whatever days of my life i live i shall never turn away from it nor let it ever vanishHello i mean you know there's getting a tattoo and people say that's dedication you know this isasts như this allegiance on my neck Yeah every morning whatever سأترك منها و لا أرد أخير منها لا أرد أخير منها لا أسأل أنها ستقوم بها 40 دقيقة هذا مجموعة أخرى و again it's the exact proceeding the following parts which starts with اللهم اجعلني من أنصارة وعوانة وضابين عنوة المصارعين إلي so this part talks about it says او اللهم افتحني من خلالك او اللهم افتحني من خلالك خلالك و خلالك و هذا الشيء is fascinating so before I say this part you've gone all about it I've gone all about it right when your mum says علي come on it's food time can you help me chop the tomatoes do we race to go and chop the tomatoes I don't know if we race there but we'll go eventually right it says او اللهم افتحني من خلالك يساعدك من خلالك those who hasten to fulfill his commands and obey his orders not just those who fulfill his commands and those who just obey his orders those who hasten to go and do it with that point just in terms of hastening and wanting to do activities any act that is helping mankind or making the embedment of mankind even for example helping somebody walk across the street or work or otherwise even your work if your intention of working is for the satisfactory of satisfying your family raising a family or just you know you're going to be paying خمس for example or even just so it's just to stay in your living Allah prefers this individual so highly and Allah understands especially in this day and age living in the west and the struggles that we go through Allah takes everything into consideration I personally feel that sometimes people go very hard on themselves some people go very hard on themselves and it sometimes has a negative effect as opposed to a positive effect but with these دعا it makes us brings us so closer to Allah and within these دعا sometimes we find that the mercy of Allah is so large it's not you can't compare it sometimes people say but God's not going to forgive me for that that's really we shouldn't say that we should always say that okay we've made a mistake let's acknowledge it obviously maybe get upset about it but then move on and then rectify from our mistakes but it's through دعا like these it's that bond seek inspiration inspiration but if we read it with passion and actual understanding throughout these 40 days it really does make a bind with us and إن شاء الله that Imam and that's how we can إن شاء الله join him إن شاء الله and just I entirely agree and just to finish this this part so after saying those who hasten to fulfill his commands and obey his orders it ends this this part if you like by saying those who are his supporters and compete with each other to fulfill his intention and seek martyrdom in his presence those who compete with each other aren't we so it's beautiful I say this not from someone who has been able to recite this after 40 consecutive mornings but just when you do have the moment to take time out connect with it in that time where darkness is amongst you and the light is solely Allah it's beautiful we do have a caller on the line إن شاء الله we welcome you to the show السلام عليكم ورحمة الله السلام عليكم ورحمة الله شكرا لك شكرا لك شكرا لك for joining us on the show our deepest congratulations to you and your family on the suspicious occasion may I ask for your name and where you're calling from شكرا لك my name is Ahmed you say Ahmed Ahmed Ahmed calling from Cardiff Cardiff okay from Wales how's it going in Wales it's alright cool I just realised how terrible the question it's like saying how's it going in England it's a very prominent community in Cardiff Cardiff yeah it's a very good activity for the service of Imam Al-Mahdi عجل الله فارج الشريف there isn't much but it's alright no no don't be harsh on yourself excellent the youth group in Newport it's called that's your basis it's very strong you guys are actually pioneering some of the activities within the UK yes yes إن شاء الله may I ask what's kind of like what's on the festivities for you during tonight and for this week إن شاء الله إن شاء الله إن شاء الله enjoy it and but buy your family some sweet gifts and they'll thank you I will do it awesome are you ready to take the quiz yes I am I'm making it sound as if it's who wants to be a millionaire like the 10th of I don't know enough to be on the show there we go إن شاء الله so we'll get excited please with maybe we'll do the third set of questions so إن شاء الله so how old was Imam Al-Mahdi عجل الله فارج الشريف when he went into the minor occultation 5 years old interesting this second question when we got them before the show I was like you know how is anyone going to answer this but actually it's quite pertinent to where you're from so what food is known as a Welsh rare bit oh come on that's cheese on toast okay and سيد صادق شرازي resides in which area okay there's a beautiful acronym for this one how many colours are there in a rainbow if you didn't learn the soul of childhood okay you're not meant to tell me oh yeah sorry I'm not meant to say you can't say this this is meant to be this is meant to be this is meant to be an occultation about the answers how old was the Imam when he went into the major occultation okay well are you on Google no are you sure yep okay dear brother thank you so much for joining us you'll find out you'll find out towards the end of the show if you've managed to win in order to take care you know one of the one of the beautiful things I find about the Imam especially the Imam towards our 7th 8th 9th 10th and 11th of course our 12th Imam is the ages at which they took up Imam you know we're talking from single digits to early teens and it's you know especially when we look at Cannibal we have 10 days where they'll say for those of you who are aged 13 picture yourself versus those of you who are aged 5 4 picture yourself against those of you who are aged 18 or early 20 and it's you know I think we should do that a little bit more across the year as well because when you hear that an Imam has taken Imam in their teens you know we're not talking you know they've become a captain they've become the Imam it's something amazing I mean when I heard that when I started at the age of 18 was martyred at the age of 18 I was astounded because when I found that out you know I was quite a young age and I'm like this is this is very confusing to me how can a lady of such a young age have accomplished so much it's it's it's it's but just to do this and it's it's remarkable and the way that you know us individuals in this day and age in this era and some people say but I find it strange or to commemorate an individual that I've never met it's a strange thing to do but once we learn about these individuals and read about them we have a bond that's special to them and from that we start you know understanding and researching about them and this bond become stronger and stronger and once we acknowledge how great these individuals are we begin to praise them and we have a poem written here today in praise of Imam on this occasion by سيدة فاطمة الحكيم and it goes as follows حبيب الله حبيب الله حبيب الله حجج صلا حبيب الله حبيب الله حبيب الله حجج صلا you are the light that we need in the dark against this world's tides you steer the hope arc when we're lost we follow you the twelfth star to us you're so close yet from us you were far Mehdi you we raise our arms our arms our arms

مهدي you do here our call our call our call so please do save us when we fall we fall حبيب الله حبيب الله حبيب الله حجج صلا حبيب الله حبيب الله حبيب الله حجج صلا حجج صلا صلا على محمد وآلي محمد وعجل فرجهم والعنعاداءهم أحسنتهم أتكلم أنت تتكلم about those patiently waiting and waiting and waiting and the unsar of the Imam the helpers of the Imam those who will be amongst those who serve him I think it's important that we know the criteria to be amongst those what does it take or what examples do we have that tell us kind of yes you're going to be part of it or no you're not going to be part of it so I wish to share a hadith with you from I believe yes so it comes from in describing the supporters of I just want you guys viewers I want you to think from this description can you pinpoint any other moment within within Islamic history where such companions were described in this way so Imam Sadiq describes the supporters of Imam he says and spend the night standing in worship of Allah during their prayers their silent supplications are like the buzz of honey bees they mount their horses during the daytime in line with the performance of their duties they are worshippers at night and lions during the day on account of fear of Allah they are in a particular place and that line specifically where it says when Imam Sadiq says during their prayers their silent supplications are like the buzz of the honey bees talking of the companions of the Imam it's quite similar to when we hear the description of the companions of Imam Hussein when they say on the night of when you went towards the tents you heard the buzz of prayers of Qura'an of supplication it's similar it's remarkable they say that when they went into the tents one of the companions and you saw people worshipping and praying it's like as they described the bees in the honey and some of the companions during the nights before some of them were actually having a good time with themselves and they said why are you having a good time tomorrow is a great big day we are going into battle and they say that they have such certainty in the afterlife with the reply they said that of course we are happy the next day we are going to be next to the Rasool Allah why wouldn't we be happy and when the the lecturer the khatib was saying these words the audience started crying because it's something that there is an afterlife it's a jib and inshallah we all can be like them on that note our dear viewers who called in to take part in the quiz you can have conviction as well in winning each of you one of these lovely cameras so for our three callers these will be sent to your doorstep so many congratulations for those of you who fought to join in got a little bit of cold feet so you will take part next time and you can receive one yourself and as we come towards the end of the show I want to if possible give or recite a very short stanza from a very famous poet from Pakistan a gentleman who really revolutionized and brought forward all of the poetry in particular within Pakistan and as a result due to the political tensions and sectarian intentions he was then killed and it's one of his most famous pieces where the kind of the core of it is where he says what will we do when the Imam comes and it's quite a tough tone and I hope it resonates however so he says we talk about love day and night of course it's in order this is the translation we talk about love day and night even with his enemies we keep relations even with Imam's enemies we keep relations despite the fact that we talk about him we talk about love day and night so we talk about love day and night even with his enemies we keep relations we don't even give humps and we continue doing riba in our hearts we have hatred even for believers how will we do our duty when the Imam comes how will we do our duty when the Imam comes it's to me before anyone else and it's powerful it's chilling it's yes we've been blessed one of the biggest blessings if Allah is that we've been given to the cup to and revere but what sort of creation neglects the gift and I really it sends shivers down my spine I think the whole concepts of unity the whole concepts of not backbiting the whole ideology the bases of Islam that sometimes we forget from our day to day lives through these poetries and through these poets gives us a reminder that ultimately we're all in it together we're all trying to achieve the same thing as the Muslims and the people who try to strive to do good so if there are any animosities if there is any hatred إن شاء الله just to let go forgive there's no need to keep anything in your heart sometimes these concepts of jealousies are regarded as a disease so let go there's no need to keep it inside this is one of the nights secondary to one of the holy nights given as a night of the Ahlulbayt so what's for the night for us to start cleansing ourselves forgiving those from the people that we might have hurt and just start gaining our spirituality giving back to the community إن شاء الله couldn't have said it any better myself and as Said mentioned on this night doing عمال is highly highly recommended and there's loads loads and loads and unfortunately there are messages going round from certain schools of thought trying to negate the auspicious nature and the powerful nature of this night please don't be fooled about the plethora of a hadith that point towards how powerful this night is and the Prophet's hadith he's not saying oh just from nowhere the 15th of شعبان is powerful of course he knew what was to come and amongst the عمال I just want to share with you one of the parts of it where we recite سورة ياسين the heart of Quran 3 times and for each time you recite it there's a reason for it I just want to remind myself so there's 3 different 3 times you recite سورة ياسين on this night and each one for a specific reason so if there's one thing that you can do is if your time is of the essence is try and do these 3 ياسين and the intentions you need to have are the following the first one is one for a long life you recite سورة ياسين with the intention of gaining a long life the second one is for prosperity and the third one is for safety from misfortune so just to recap long life prosperity and safety from misfortune I think that third one especially safety from misfortune we really never know what is coming around in the corner from us so if you do have the chance please do engage in your عمال tonight as much as you can do I know the nights are getting shorter and shorter but please do your utmost and with that we start to come towards the very end of the show and it's been beautiful to have you and would it be possible to end the show as you started it with our allegiance in دعا 2 إمام المهي عجر الله تعالى بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم صلي على محمد وآل محمد اللهم كون لوليك الحجة سبنة صلواتك عليه وعلى أبائه في هذه الساعة وفي كل ساعة وليئان
