 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Other salawat for the love of the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon him, and Allah, the Most Merciful, peace be upon him Historians have referred to this verse that I just recited As one of the first times that Rasulullah s.a.w used the term Shi'a Because there's a debate amongst the Muslims When did the Shi'a start? When did Shi'izm start in the Muslim calendar? Some people they say it started after Ashura Others they say it started during the time of the Abbasi government During the time of Imam al-Batar and Imam Sadim And many have theories as when did the Shi'a school of thought begin And when was that term used? However, in our opinion the Shi'a school of thought It started with the religion of Islam And it never separated away from the religion of Islam The first day Rasulullah s.a.w introduced the religion of Islam to people That was also the day he told them to follow Ali ibn Abi Talim s.a.w And the verse in the Qur'an in Surah al-Baynah That those who believe and do good deeds Those are the best historians They say that Rasulullah s.a.w was his sister And s.a.w was his father Rasulullah s.a.w was his sister And Ali ibn Abi Talim s.a.w Rasulullah s.a.w said And then he said And Ali ibn Abi Talim s.a.w is the best of creation And the narrations They say that when Rasulullah s.a.w used to walk into a room Or into the masjid The Muslims and the Sahaba they used to say The best of creation has entered And the proof for the advent of Shi'ism Is with the same proof of the advent of Islam The same day Rasulullah s.a.w told people To accept him as a prophet And accept his Ras'ala That same day he also told them And the Khalifa and the wazir and the wasi After me When how do we come to this conclusion Allah s.w.t In the first occasion where he ordered Rasulullah to invite people towards The religion of Islam When was that? That was according to the verse Hadith al-Dar And that was when Rasulullah s.a.w He invited his family Before Allah ordered Rasulullah To publicly announce the religion of Islam He ordered Rasulullah to call upon His close ones first Because Allah says أقربون أولى بالمعروف وأندر عشيرة تكل أقربين Bring down, invite your family first Invite your ashira first So Rasulullah s.a.w He gathered his family He gathered his family And one of them was Ali ibn Abi Talib Who at that time he was a young man He taught his family He taught them who out of me Who out of you will believe In the message that I have sent That I have been sent with Because I have brought you A message that no one has brought his family So He told them that he is a prophet He told them about the Rasala And then he asked his family He told them who of you will believe in me Who of you will follow me Who of you will be with my supporter This person will be my Khalifa He will be my wazir And he will be my wasi after me That time it was only the family of Rasulullah But you see that even the family At that time no one accepted Rasulullah But there was one voice that said I will follow you And that was Ali ibn Abi Talib And then Rasulullah said You are the Khalifa You are the wasi You are the wazir after me So here we see that Rasulullah The same day he told people to believe in him As a prophet He told them and he appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib So this is the proof that The Imamah and the wilayah Came with the religion of Islam And today historians, Muslim historians They say that there were From amongst the sahaba of Rasulullah There were sahaba That were known to be the shia Ali ibn Abi Talib Because Rasulullah said You and your shia You and your shia are the best of creation And there were known Shia of Ali ibn Abi Talib During the time of Rasulullah Ammar ibn Yasir Salman al-Muhammadi Al-Muqdad These were known to be Shia of Ali ibn Abi Talib Abu Dhar al-Ghufari And you see That many of these companions Of Rasulullah, they were companions But just because they followed Ali ibn Abi Talib Of course following Ali ibn Abi Talib It means following Rasulullah It's not a different path From the path of Rasulullah But they had love For Ali ibn Abi Talib You see that most of the ones Who showed love to Ali ibn Abi Talib They were killed A man who today People, they consider him the Sahaba of Rasulullah One of the companions of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam You see that he killed Hundreds of the Sahaba of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam In the Battle of Safin Hundreds were killed Many of the companions of Amir al-Mu'mineen Who happened to be Sahaba of Rasulullah They were assassinated By Muawiyah And today we are accused of disrespecting The Sahaba while you see Muawiyah He killed off many of the Sahaba Many of them He killed them off Who killed Ammar ibn Yasir Ammar ibn Yasir was one of the first Muslims His parents They were the first martyrs in Islam Yasir and Sumeya And Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam He tells To him You will be killed By the group that has been Misled Has gone astray From the religion of Islam On the day of Safin In the Battle of Safin He was killed Ammar was killed by the army of Muawiyah And many other Sahaba Hijra ibn Hadim Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr This is the son of Abu Bakr But just because he had happened to be The Shia of Ali ibn Abi Talib He was killed by Muawiyah And his body Was stuffed in the body Of a dead donkey And it was burned Now you know where Daesh Where they get their inspiration from They get it from their role model Another man Another man Amr ibn al-Khuzai This was one of the Sahaba Rasulullah This was one of the Sahaba Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala Historians say That he was killed by Muawiyah And his head Was the first head that was Carried across the towns And across the cities in the religion of Islam The first head that he was killed Was in Islam Amr ibn al-Khuzai This man was Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wa ala Did a dua for him One day Rasulullah told him May Allah prolong your youth And they say that He was 80 years old He was an old man But his beard was all black When it was being carried across the villages In the cities Who did this? This was Muawiyah Where does Daesh And these terrorists get their inspiration from They get it from their role model The first terrorist in Islam One of the first terrorists in Islam It was Muawiyah You see that many of the Shias Were killed And this is why Don't be surprised when you see The Shias are attacked today The Shias are discriminated against today There's a sunnah to this There have been others That started this And until today They have their followers Now we need to Who are the Shias And what does it mean To be a Shia Because many people They think that it's just a name It's just a name And you go by that name Is it truly just a name In Islam Joining the religion of Islam Anyone who says Allah becomes a Muslim However According to the narrations It requires action It's not just words Not anyone can just come and say I'm a Shia And therefore They are a true Shia Of the Ahlul Bayt And this is a very important issue Because Some of the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt Today They say that It was the Shia that killed Imam Hussain It was the people of Kufa The people of Kufa They wrote letters to Imam Hussain Inviting him to come to Kufa Once he came They sent out an army that killed Imam Hussain And didn't allow Imam Hussain To enter Kufa They say it was the Shias And this is not something that I'm just saying There's actually scholars And speakers And pamphlets that are being passed out Especially during these days They say look at the Shia Now they beat their chests Crying for Imam Hussain Because they are in remorse That it was them that killed Imam Hussain A.S Now we need to analyze this We need to see who killed Imam Hussain A.S And who was Responsible For the murder of the family Of Rasulullah A.S And it wasn't just a murder It was a type of killing Where even the children of Imam Hussain Were killed The body of Imam Hussain Was stomped with the hooves of the horses So Who killed Imam Hussain A.S In order to Reach a conclusion We have to look at How many groups There are in regards to the Ahlul Bayt And what are the belief systems Of those groups In regards to the Ahlul Bayt You see that there is one group That Are known for their hatred For the Ahlul Bayt A.S And these are the Nawasub These are the ones that showed Hatred to the Ahlul Bayt from day one And until today they show Hatred to the followers Of the Ahlul Bayt A.S These are the ones that when you Hear the news two days ago in Taqif Someone goes and he starts shooting People that are attending a Majlis And we hear about this all the time And they see the day of Ashura as a day of celebration And this is no joke There are people out there Who consider themselves Muslim But yet they see the day of Ashura the day that The grandson of Rasulullah And the family of Rasulullah Were massacred on the day of Karbala On the day of Ashura is a day of Eid And they celebrate that Eid By fasting On the day of Ashura As a celebration As a form of celebration There are people out there And you see the pamphlets That are being passed out As the day of Ashura comes If you follow the social media You'll see people saying don't forget to fast On the day of Ashura Because it's a day of Eid It's the day that Rasulullah Saved Prophet Musa And saved Prophet Noah These are all fabricated lies Because Imam Sadaq He speaks about the day of Ashura, he says This is the day that This is the day that This is the day that This is the day that This is the day that And you see their followers Until today Showing the hatred Towards the followers Of the Ahlul Bayt Towards the ones who cry For the Ahlul Bayt I don't know what have we done to them How do our tears for Imam Hussain And crying for Imam Hussain How is it bothering them We're not doing anything to them But you see that they're uncomfortable When people remember the family of Rasulullah Why? Because when you remember the family of Rasulullah You're going to remember who oppressed them Who abused them Who took the power from them And therefore You will know the truth And people do not want the truth to be known Imam Sadaq, he says In one hadith He says He says He says The one who shows hatred to the Ahlul Bayt He's not going to come and say I hate Muhammad The family of Rasulullah You don't find anyone saying Although indirectly they do show it But no one is going to come and say I hate the Ahlul Bayt But what they say The Imam says They're going to show the hatred to you The Shias of the Ahlul Bayt They're going to be killing The Shias of the Ahlul Bayt They're going to be massacring The Shias of the Ahlul Bayt And this is what we see today Today you look in the world If you're up to date with what's going on You see that wherever there are Shias They're discriminated against They're abused Their power is taken from them They're being harassed Why? They're only crimes that they love the Ahlul Bayt Otherwise If we were just like all the other Muslims If we were careless If we didn't care If we showed love to everyone The one who killed and the one who was killed There wouldn't be sanctions Against the Shia countries There wouldn't be governments Bombing Coalition bombing the Shias of Yemen As we see today Why? They're only crimes that they are followers And lovers of the Ahlul Bayt So this is one group The Nawas of that Show their hatred to the Ahlul Bayt And the followers of the Ahlul Bayt And then there's another group In regards to the Ahlul Bayt Who they say We love the Ahlul Bayt But we also love the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt We love the Qatil And the Maqtul All of them they are All of them You go there Before Daesh went and destroyed The grave of Hijr ibn Adi And Kindi in Sham There was a plaque written On the grave of Hijr ibn Adi It said This is the grave of the Sahaba Of Rasulullah One of the companions of Rasulullah Al-Jaleel And may Allah be satisfied with him Who was killed By the Sahabi and Jaleel By the honorable Sahabi Muawiya And there are some Muslims Who actually fall for this They say all of them are All of them may Allah Be satisfied with them And Rasulullah there is a hadith Attributed to Rasulullah That we do not accept The hadith says Rasulullah supposedly He said My companions they are like the stars Whichever one you follow You will be guided Anyone that you follow They will guide you To the right path Now Here where is the principles Of the Qur'an Where is the principles that Rasulullah Brought the Muslims Why does the Qur'an give us a long Story of Qabil and Habib The two sons of Adam Why does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Give us so many stories in the Qur'an Isn't it so that I choose Which side I am on Isn't it so I stay against oppressors Doesn't Allah say Rasulullah is against the oppressors The ones who oppress The ones who are hypocrites The ones who are hypocrites And this is why we need the day of Ashura Because it constantly reminds us To stay against the To have a voice against the Oppressor Imam Hussain He constantly reminds us To have a firm stance Against the oppressors To say that the tyrants They are afraid of the day of Ashura You see tyrant governments and Dictators They don't want people crying for Imam Hussain Because when people cry for Imam Hussain They will stand and they will Question the tyrants of their time Just like Imam Hussain Questioned and he stood Against the tyrant of his time And then there is a third group Who love the Ahlul Bayt However Their love to the Ahlul Bayt It is so extreme Where it reaches a level of Gholu Where they are leaving the faith Because Of so much love for the Ahlul Bayt And there were people like that during the time Of Ali ibn Abi Talib Amir al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib He says Two types of people Will perish because of me Mu'ib al-Ghal Mu'ib al-Ghal One of them Who is a mu'ib He loves me but his love Drives him to leave Tawheed And leave Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And this is not what kind of love Amir al-Mu'mineen wants This is not what the Ahlul Bayt wanted They wanted people to love them Allah orders us to love the Ahlul Bayt But the Ahlul Bayt orders us to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala If someone says I only love the Ahlul Bayt And I don't care about Allah I don't care about anything else This is harm, this is gholu And this is something that the Ahlul Bayt They were the first to speak against Today you find people They say we love the Ahlul Bayt And then they do not follow The teachings of the Ahlul Bayt They start cursing And abusing The language towards everyone else Who disagrees with them Is this truly what the Ahlul Bayt wants Go and look at the lives of the Ahlul Bayt The morality The akhlaq that the Ahlul Bayt had The Ahlul Bayt, they bring people towards Tawheed If I'm going to leave The path Because of loving the Ahlul Bayt The love of the Ahlul Bayt has not helped And this is why Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala He compared Amir al-Mu'mineen To Aisa To Jesus Why? He tells him there's going to be a group of people That will hate you Just like a group of people hated Jesus And they did not believe in him And then there's also going to be a group of people That will love you so much Just like there was a group of people That began to worship Jesus And they considered him God And there were people during the time of Imam Ali that considered The Ahlul Bayt to be God And this is false This is not a true shi'a Of the Ahlul Bayt, alaihum sallam And finally, the fourth category Is the true shi'as The true followers Of the Ahlul Bayt, alaihum sallam The ones who Use the Ahlul Bayt In order to reach Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala The ones who Use Ali ibn al-Bait And the Ahlul Bayt in order to reach Rasulullah Rasulullah Because we follow Amir al-Mu'mineen and the Ahlul Bayt So that we get closer to Rasulullah And this is why We are following the Ahlul Bayt Because we believe they were the closest ones To Rasulullah They were the ones that can give us The true sunnah of Rasulullah The true religion of Rasulullah Now We need to see The ahadif, the narrations Of the Ahlul Bayt that speak about The virtues of the Ahlul Bayt And what kind of characteristics Do the Ahlul Bayt have When we look at the narrations We see that the Ahlul Bayt They say being a shi'a Is not just something where you consider yourself You call yourself a shi'a Of the Ahlul Bayt and therefore you're a shi'a It's not like Islam where anyone can consider themselves A Muslim as soon as they Say the shahada The ahadif from Imam Al-Baqir He says Do not let The sects get over you And overcome you say I'm from this sect, I'm from this group of people And then he says Our shi'as They are the ones that obeyed Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala They are the ones that worshiped Allah These are the qualities Of the shi'a Of the Ahlul Bayt, a.s And another hadith from Imam Al-Ruza a.s He says They are the ones that Obey the orders Of the Ahlul Bayt a.s When Imam Sadab says And when the Ahlul Bayt They say you have to pray You have to fast, you have to Go to Hajj, you have to pay khun Sanzakat We have to follow the orders of the Ahlul Bayt I cannot just consider myself a shi'a Of the Ahlul Bayt And I ignore all of the teachings Of the Ahlul Bayt a.s So it says The ones Who object And stand against our enemies Because there are some people who say But it's okay Ma'dash, leave the ones who It's okay, listen to them Take your religion from them Yes This is wrong because we have to take Our religion from one group of people And that is the ones who Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi And another hadith From Imam Sadab a.s He says He says And he is And he is He says he lies He who says he is From the Shia of the Ahlul Bayt Yet takes the religion From another group of people From the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt a.s One day Aiman came to Imam Al-Hasan And he told him I love your father And I am one of the Shias Of you and your father Because what does Shia mean? Shia means followers of So he says I am one of the Shias of your father And I follow you Imam Al-Hasan a.s He looked down And then he raised his head He looked at him And he told him I do not see your name In the list of Shias Of the Ahlul Bayt And I do not see your face As a familiar face Of the Shias of the Ahlul Bayt a.s And then he tells him If you want to consider yourself A muhab Someone who loves the Ahlul Bayt But being a true Shia This is Being a Shia means That you are the best of creation You have reached that high level The level of Ammar The level of Abu Dhar The level of Salman The level of the companions of Imam Al-Hussain a.s Who gave up everything That they had For the sake of the Imam of their time Are we willing to sacrifice For the Imam of our time? Now Tell me that killed Imam Al-Hussain a.s Who were they? What group of people were they? Historians say That the army that killed Imam Al-Hussain The least number says That they were 30,000 The narrations say That most of them And all of them They were from Kufa There was not one soldier from Sham That came to kill Imam Al-Hussain a.s It was an army That came out of Kufa To stand against Imam Al-Hussain a.s So some people they say yes Since it was Kufa Since they came out of Kufa Then that means It was the Shia that killed Imam Al-Hussain a.s However, that's not the case Because if we analyze We will see that at that time Kufa was not like the Kufa that we know today Kufa was not a Shia city Kufa was not a city that had Shias in it It was a military city That was That was It was a camp, a base That was started by the second Khalifa Omar ibn al-Khattab And he ordered Muslims to go there In the Muslim Conquest And then Amir al-Mu'mineen He also had to go there And the people that were there During the time of Amir al-Mu'mineen Many of them they saw Amir al-Mu'mineen Of course there were some Shias But many of them They saw Amir al-Mu'mineen as the fourth Khalifa Amir al-Mu'mineen as the first Imam And there are many stories that prove this Many narrations that prove this One day when Amir al-Mu'mineen was in Kufa The month of Ramadan started At night time He saw that the Muslims They were gathered in the Masjid praying Taraweeh prayer Amir al-Mu'mineen He told them Taraweeh is not the sunnah Of Rasulullah And all Muslims they agreed that it was not the sunnah Of Rasulullah Did he pray or did he order people to pray Taraweeh Because Taraweeh Salat al-Layn It's a mustahab prayer It's a recommended prayer And a recommended prayer cannot be prayed in Jama'a This is what Rasulullah told the Muslims And then after Rasulullah came He did not pray Taraweeh in Jama'a And then the second Khalifa Omar he came He saw the Muslims praying in the Masjid He told them why don't you all pray Taraweeh In Jama'a So when Ali ibn Abi Talib came In Kufa he told the Muslims not to pray Taraweeh Because this was not the sunnah of Rasulullah We have to follow the sunnah Of Rasulullah He sent Imam al-Hasan to them You know what the people of Kufa began to do In the Masjid They began to yell We want to follow the sunnah of Omar Not even the sunnah of Rasulullah So then Amir al-Mumineen he said So this proves That many of the people that were In Kufa they were not Shi'ahs of Amir al-Mumineen Many of them they gave Amir al-Mumineen A difficult time You go and read Nahj al-Balaga You see that in many narrations He would tell them You are not even man You are cowards They would not obey They would not obey Amir al-Mumineen And you see in the battles In the battle of Safineen There was a group of Muslims That turned against Amir al-Mumineen Who were on the side of Amir al-Mumineen Why? Because Muawiya he fooled them By raising the Quran He placed the Quran on his spear Some people they saw The Quran is raised by Muawiya Then we will not fight Muawiya anymore Amir al-Mumineen told them I am the speaking Quran According to the Hadith of Rasulullah He is fooling you They told him stop the war Amir al-Mumineen he was very close To getting rid of Muawiya They told him stop the war Or else we will kill you And they were truly going to kill Amir al-Mumineen And then there was a group Of Khawaraj One of those men From those Khawaraj Was Shimr ibn Joshan Killed Imam al-Husayn al-Hussain Now is that Are those groups of people That are considered Shias of the end of Bait There were groups of people On the day of Ashura Imam al-Husayn he stands to pray One of them He tells him Imam al-Husayn Why are you praying? Your prayer is not going to bring you anywhere You are going to go to the Hellfire This is how they speak to the Grand Salam Is this one of the One of the actions of a Shia A follower of the end of Bait On the day of Ashura Imam al-Husayn he told them Why are you killing me? What have I done to you? Have I stolen from you? Have I abused you? Have I talked bad about you? What have I done to you? They told him We are killing you because Your only crime is that Is this a Shia of the end of Bait Are these actions of Shia? Yes Imam al-Husayn alayhi salam He called them Shia But Shia just means followers He tells them On the day of Ashura After Imam al-Husayn was still alive They began to attack the camp Of Imam al-Husayn The women and the children He began to call them Deen for you And you were not afraid of obstacles So be free In your world You are the Shia of al-Abu Sufyan You are the Shia of Muawiyah And Yazid And you are the Shia of Abu Sufyan the man who waged A war against Rasulullah Ever since the first day Rasulullah told people to believe And then his son Muawiyah came And he waged a war against And then Yazid came And he killed Imam al-Husayn alayhi salam Of course today These Nawasab that we were talking about earlier They come and they say Yazid had nothing to do with it Why are you Shia as you gather And Muawiyah you keep cursing Yazid He had nothing to do with it If he had nothing to do with it Then why was the head of Imam al-Husayn Taken all the way to Sham Why was the family of Rasulullah Taken all the way to Sham He had the head of Imam al-Husayn In front of him And he was speaking poetry To the head of Imam al-Husayn He speaks About his forefathers He speaks about His forefathers He says No news came And no revelation There was no revelation There was nothing And then he would say And then he would say He says only if my ancestors My fathers and uncles Who were killed by the sword of Ali ibn Abi Talib In the battle of Badr Only if they see today how the game Has been switched Now it's Husayn's had the son of Rasulullah It's in front of me This was Yazid Today you still find that Yazid has people That say no no no no Yazid did not do anything Did not talk about Yazid So it was not the Shi'a That killed Imam al-Husayn It was the Shi'a of Bani Sufyan And Al-Omeya Now someone might come and say Okay what about the letters There were letters that were sent To Imam al-Husayn And Imam al-Husayn he brought out those letters And he began to call out some of the names Who signed the letters Al-Hajjara bin Abjar And many other names He began to call them out on the day of Ashura He told them didn't you sign this letter here He brought out the letters with him These men they were also Nafshia And these men they just wanted to They thought that Imam al-Husayn Al-Husayn was coming And they did not think that the grandson Of Rasulullah was going to be killed Because there was truly a revolution That was going on And many people thought that Imam al-Husayn Was going to come So there were many people that signed their name So that when the day Imam al-Husayn Comes and he truly has power They will tell him See I signed, I was one of the first That signed with you So that they tell him I also had my name But then the day it turned against the And they go on the day of Ashura These men that signed One of them he tells Imam al-Husayn Follow your cousins What's the difference Yazid is from Bani Umayyah They are the cousins of Bani Hashem What's the difference You come and give power to Give power to Yazid It's okay This is what these men were saying Is this the true Sufat The true quality of the Shia of the Anubait The qualities that we recited earlier Now someone might come and say Okay they were not Shia's What about the real Shia's That were in Kufa There were some Shia's in Kufa When you look at the history You will see that ever since The time ever since The martyrdom of Amir al-Mu'minin Year 41 after Hijrah The Shia's in Kufa They were persecuted And many of them were in the gels And the prisons Were killed by Muawiyah And then by the governments That came after Muawiyah He sent a letter To his governor in Kufa He told them See who loves Ali ibn Abi Talib He was the first who started the Sunnah Of cursing Ali ibn Abi Talib And the Ahl al-Bait And then he wrote a letter He said see who loves Ali ibn Abi Talib And have sanctions That person Do not give him his monthly or weekly salary So you see the Shia's They had economic sanctions Second He said see who loves Ali ibn Abi Talib Destroy his home Over his head The same thing Israel is doing now The same thing The governments that follow Are doing right now to the Shia's in Yemen Destroying their homes Wiping out cities Destroy their Shia's Destroy their homes Over their heads And then he writes a third letter He says see who has love for Ali ibn Abi Talib And killed that person Many of the Shia's They were killed Many of them were oppressed They had nowhere to go And you see that Many of them For example Al-Mukhtar One of them Al-Mukhtar Al-Hussain He was in the jail of In fact The city of Kufa It was under martial law When he came And he took over There was So much strict control Over the city that no one could leave the city Or enter the city And whoever that they thought Was a Shia They would grab him So this is what happened To the true Shia's Sallallahu ala Muhammad wa ala Muhammad And then of course there were others There were others Who did love the Ahlul Bayt Who Who's heart were with the Ahlul Bayt Alayhum salam However because of a few dinams Some gold That they gave them And because of this dunya They allowed And they left the Imam of their time To be killed all alone in the battle In the land of Karbala There were many That told Imam Hussein I want to live I don't want to come and give myself I don't want to die right now And of course We have to think about ourselves When the Imam of our time comes What are we going to answer What are we going to tell him Right now are you willing to leave your job And your family and your work And everything that you have If the Imam comes tomorrow The ones who followed Imam Hussein They left everything They left everything This is why they became Known as the Ansar of Imam Hussein And inshallah tomorrow We will remember the Ansar of Imam Hussein Alayhum salam But there were some men There were some groups of people Who they said no I want to live I don't want I'm not ready to die right now One of them Was a man by the name of Abid Allah ibn al-harwan jokfi This man as Imam Hussein Was traveling towards Kufa He passed He saw a tent in one of the villages That he passed through He saw a tent On that tent there was a spear It shows that this is a fighter This is a soldier So he finds out that It is Abid Allah ibn al-harwan jokfi Who was one of the known men In Al-Kufa So Imam Hussein he sent one of the Men who was with him He tells him go and ask Abid Allah to join us and be our supporter This man he goes And he tells Abid Allah Aba'a Abdullah the grandson Of Rasulullah The son of Fatima He's inviting you to join him And be his supporter This man Abid Allah he tells him Hussein is the saint Is the very reason that I left Kufa I left Kufa So now I don't have to hear about Hussein And I don't have to get involved With a group of people fighting Hussein Or be on the side that is fighting Hussein Because many people They were pressured into fighting Imam Hussein He said I don't want to have anything to do with this But Subhanallah the caravan Imam Hussein passes right by him And then The messenger he goes back To Imam Hussein and he tells him He refuses to come Here Imam Hussein The hadith says he went by himself He walked to him Look at the humbleness of Aba'a Abdullah Imam Hussein he knew he was going to die But he wants to take people With him to paradise He wants people to be saved with him He goes With his children They are walking to the tent of this man Imam Hussein tells him O Aba'a Abdullah You have the noob, you have sins Isn't it time that you purify yourself And Allah don't you want Allah to forgive you Come and join us I am the grandson of Rasulullah Didn't you hear what Rasulullah said about me Husaynun minni And I am in Hussein This man He told Imam Hussein I can't I am too attached to this life I want to live He told Imam Hussein O Aba'a Abdullah told Imam Hussein I know the haqq is with you And I know dying with you is dying And going straight to paradise But I want to live How many of us are actually like that Let us put ourselves in the place of this man What would we have answered To Imam Hussein Imam Hussein told Imam He told him but I have a fast horse I have a fast horse That every time I've chased someone with that horse I've caught on to him And every time someone is chasing me With a horse I've been able to flee away I'll give this horse to you Imam Hussein tells him We don't want your horse You think I came here because I want your horse I don't want your horse I want to save you Then the Imam tells him Take yourself away from us Because if you hear our wa'iyah If you hear me calling On the Day of Ashura When I'm surrounded If you hear me calling Alaa Halmin Nasirin Yan Suruna I heard from Rasulullah Say that when the Ahlul Bayt call For someone to help them And that person hears them And refuses to help them Allah will throw him on his face In the Hellfire Take yourself away There were people like that They loved the Ahlul Bayt They know the haqqas with the Ahlul Bayt But they were willing to Leave the Imam And leave the Imam to die All alone on the Day of Karbala And today we remember Muslim Ibn Aqeel The Safir The ambassador of Imam Hussein Alaa Halmin Nasirin He was sent by Imam Hussein And yet this man Was also betrayed And he was oppressed He enters Kufa 18,000 men They give him bay'ah Meaning that they're giving Imam Hussein bay'ah And then He enters and he takes over And he spreads the fear In Kufa These 18,000 They become And the 4,000 become 100 And the 100 become 2 people Until he is all alone In Kufa All alone A mother she would come and take her son Telling him leave him This is a fitna Another wife she would call her husband And tell her husband Don't be involved in what's going to happen There's going to be bloodshed There's going to be fighting Stay out of this All alone Until Muslim Ibn Aqeel Was left all alone But Muslim Ibn Aqeel He had wrote a letter to Imam Hussein Telling him to come These men have given me allegiance They have given you allegiance And they're waiting for you But suddenly They turned against Muslim Ibn Aqeel One night In the Masjid Muslim Ibn Aqeel He's praying And he turns around He sees there's no one with him There's no one with him He's walking in the city of Kufa All
