 Human progress is neither involuntary nor inevitable. Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggles, which is the tireless exertion and passionate concern of dedicated individuals like Imam al-Hussein, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Welcome to the first episode of Life from Karbala with me, your host, Ahmad Ali. Before I commence further into the episode, join me as we send our salutations upon the master of martyrs and his beloved brother, the moon of Bani Hashem. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. O my master Aba Abdullah, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you, O the son of the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you and peace be upon the souls that sacrificed their lives for your cause. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you, everlasting and omniscient. Respected viewers, once again, As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. During the past 1400 years, we do apologize for the noises in the background, but the lovers of Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam, are commemorating the first day, the second night of Muharram in the city of Karbala, near the holy shrine of Imam al-Qusayn, alayhim as-salam, and his loyal brother, Abu al-Fadal al-Abad. So for that reason, we do send our condolences to the Ahl al-Bayt and to the Imam of our time, may Allah hasten his reappearance. But during the 1400 years, an unparalleled amount of literature has been written on Imam al-Qusayn, alayhim as-salam in every language across the world. And mainly, what is written on Imam al-Qusayn as-salam is regarding the indescribable sacrifice of Imam al-Qusayn at Karbala in the 61st year after Hijrah. Almost all Muslims unite in the idea that Imam al-Qusayn, alayhim as-salam, sacrificed his life. So Islam does not go into extinction. However, Muslims begin to disagree and differentiate in the interpretation of Islam that Imam al-Qusayn sacrificed his life for. Some people indicate that the Islam that Imam al-Qusayn sacrificed his life for was la ilaha illa Allah and do not recognize the willaya of Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam. And those individuals, I do advise to learn more about Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam. But that's not the idea. But such individuals do not recognize the willaya of Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam. Hence, they do not testify to the third testimony that we testify to. In our call for prayer, there are three testifications that we do. The first one is, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. The second one is, I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. The first one is we testify that there is no god but Allah. And the second one is that Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And the third one is that Ali is the representative of Allah on this earth and the successor of Prophet Muhammad. Shia in general believe that the willaya of Amin Muni as-salam, the third testimony and the willaya of Ahl al-Bayt is an essential part, an essential position within the Islamic faith and within the iman of every single believer. However, when we do go on discussing the ways that Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam, lived their life, we find that from Prophet Muhammad, all of them sacrificed themselves for the sacred cause and this sacred cause is safeguarding that third testimony which is La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasulullah Aliun Wali Allah which without it, Islam, the day of judgment, heaven or hell would become meaningless. From the first event of the assassination of Prophet Muhammad, when Ali ibn Abi Talib in that incident placed himself in the position of Rasulullah in his bed instead of the Prophet, it shows the dedication of him, Ali ibn Talib, towards the religion of Islam. Yet, eventually and unfortunately, Prophet Muhammad was poisoned and killed in propagating the true Islamic teachings regarding Ali ibn Abi Talib as-salam and the Ahl al-Bayt. Sayyid al-Fatima al-Zahra peace be upon her was crushed behind the door when she came forward to protect Ali ibn Talib as-salam when she met her martyrdom. Imam Ali, his sons Imam Al-Hassan and Hussain and the imams descending from Prophet Muhammad, this purified progeny, all of them tried all their lives to let the candle of Islam to radiate the candle of Islam and the light of Islam through their sacrifices until Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala took his last, Imam al-Mehdi Mi'Allah's reappearance into occultation to test us to see that if we are representing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, if we truly represent Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam, what are we willing to sacrifice for the Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam? It was in Allah's knowledge that not everyone would follow the Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam and follow the leadership of Imam Ali ibn Talib al-Alihim as-salam. This is why he decided to put a test, to put every single person to a test, reward and punishment to the people if they accept and reject the willaya of Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam and especially the willaya of Imam Ali ibn Talib al-Alihim as-salam. Thus without the willaya of Imam ibn Talib al-Alihim as-salam, we strongly hold to this belief that without the willaya of Imam ibn Talib al-Alihim as-salam no deed or act of worship is accepted or is credited on hereafter because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Ahl al-Bayt in Zareta Jam'a Al-Kabira they say that with us Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala began his creation and with us he ends everything. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala began everything with us and ended everything with us. On the way when Imam Ali ibn Talib al-Alihim was making his way to Kufa people asked him, what was the purpose of your journey through the deserts? Imam Ali ibn Talib al-Alihim replied very beautifully he says to revive Islam and uncover the assassins of my grandfather my mother, my father and my brother to revive Islam was the key point of the Imam's uprising however in brief we find that if we go throughout the books of history we find that numerous hundreds of narrations have been said by Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in the honor and in the elevation in the elevated status of the Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam and his grandsons and if we find that throughout the 23 or 24 years of the Prophet's life when he was propagating Islam we find that people who came after the Prophet tried to remove Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihim as-salam, shift him aside we find from the three caliphs up until the Umayyad dynasty and up until the Abbasid dynasty and none of them could stop the late of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the states in the Holy Quran they wanted to stop the late of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through their actions, through their expressions, through their daily lives but yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants his noor to prevail in a divine tradition by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on the tongue of Prophet Muhammad he says, ya Muhammad, خلقتكم من نوري I have created the Ahl al-Bayt I have created you from my Noor I have created the Ahl al-Bayt this is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talking to Prophet Muhammad saying that I have created the Noor or the Ahl al-Bayt sorry, from my Noor and what more beautiful so when they say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala states they try to eliminate the Noor or to block the Noor with their facial expressions or with anything Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants his noor to prevail and not Muhammad wa Ali Muhammad however a question is often asked is why did Imam al-Hassan alayhi salam sign the peace treaty with Muawiya yet Imam al-Hassan alayhi salam rose and did not live under the unjust commands and demands of Yazid insha'Allah we'll answer this question but after this short break so do stay tuned this is one of the first Mawakib we have seen coming out in this month of Muharram as you can see they have the drums to re-enact the Battle of Karbala the war drums they are shouting Haidar in the name of Amir al-Mu'mineen Alhamdulillah wa shukr the moon is the moon is in full full Haram mode this is the Mash'al of Imam al-Hussain the ship of salvation just gone flat this is the guba of Imam al-Qasim it is and remembers Imam al-Qasim the youth who was in preparation for marriage ready for marriage Imam al-Hassan alayhi salam rose the Mawakib has stopped outside the door of Imam al-Hussain the trumpet you hear is a salute in the name of Imam al-Hussain which Mawakib goes past and does the salute and it's ended with the drums to conclude or begin the Mawakib of Mash'al which is what is happening now to the shrine of Abu Fawad the shrine of Imam al-Hussain around to Muqayyam to the hill which is the Zayn that stood on and they conclude coming back to the taqya, the area the taqya is where the Mawakib begins and ends as you can see now they are concluding and going back to their taqya thank you very much brother Hussain it was actually beautiful to see that atmosphere of the first month of Muharram but before the break we talked about or the frequently asked question which is why did Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam sign the peace treaty with Muawiyah while Imam al-Hussain alaihi salam did not bow down to the unjust demands of Yazid al-Muawiyah Imam Jafar Muhammad al-Sadaq alaihi salam he says he replies to this question through explaining the verse which is found in the fourth chapter verse 77 he says that the Muslims were asked to refrain from fighting under the leadership of Imam al-Hassan to remain content with the treaty dictated by Imam al-Hassan but were strictly ordered and commanded to fight with Imam al-Hassain alaihi salam in Karbala another tradition that is related to this which gives an honor to Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam that this verse was revealed in his honor it says that in his verse Allah SWT made it mandatory for Imam al-Hassan to fight the Munafiqeen the people who are the hypocrites that existed at that time the Munafiqeen and made it obligatory upon every creation on this every inhabitant on this planet on earth to aid Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam in his cause however Allah SWT also states in the 22nd chapter verse 40 those who have been exiled from their homes without a just cause except that they say Allah is our Lord and had there not been Allah's repelling some people by others certainly there would not have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah's name is much remembered and surely Allah helps him who helps his cause surely Allah is most strong and almighty if we focus on the first and last portion of this verse this Quranic verse Allah SWT is talking about the people who are forced to leave their homes just because they want to revive Islam just because they want to save Islam just because they call out that our Lord is Allah calling saying Allah is our Lord is not enough it takes action with saying Allah is our Lord it takes action and by saying Ali is our leader Ali is the representative and the successor to Allah SWT this takes action to implement this however in tafsir al qummi it is referred to in this verse he says in tafsir al qummi which is a very reliable source from our Shia school of thought the followers of Ahl al Bayt that this verse was revealed in the honor of Allah SWT who was forced by Yazid to leave his home to leave Medina and war was imposed on him and eventually he was martyred in the land of Karbala right here however after establishing that Allah SWT had to leave Medina the city of his grandfather and had to fight the the the the hypocrites of that time Imam al-Hassan AS just to give the correlation between the peace treaty and al-Hassan AS Imam al-Hassan when he was divinely commanded to refrain from fighting and signing the peace treaty they wanted the Islamic Ummah they wanted them to reorganize themselves so they can go and support Imam al-Hassan AS in Karbala this is the reason now we came to a point that I would like to actually emphasize on which is tonight's main important point is that what was at stake at Karbala if we touch upon this question what was at stake in Karbala Imam al-Hassan AS to leave the comfort of the city of his grandfather and come all the way to Karbala or his destination Kufa why? the same reason that Prophet Muhammad was killed poisoned the same reason why the ribs of our beloved Fatima al-Zahra AS were broken the same reason why Ali bin Abi Talib during prayer in congregational prayer muljima Allah cursed him struck him on the head the same reason that led to the poisoning of Imam al-Hassan and that same exact reason that led Imam al-Hassan AS to leave the city of his grandfather Medina and head towards Karbala and that's the reason is reviving Islam protecting and safeguarding the third testimony some people may ask is that how is the third testimony when we testify that Ali is the successor of Prophet Muhammad and is the representative of Allah how is this related to Imam al-Hassan reviving Islam well, if you go through history and if you go through the narrations narrated by both Sunni and Shi'a we'll see and you'll find that on the day where Ali Talib AS was appointed as the successor Allah SWT sent a verse to Prophet Muhammad to tell the entire Islamic Ummah he said today I have perfected your religion and today I have completed my favor upon you and satisfied Islam to be your religion so the 23 years that Prophet Muhammad had to endure the hardships was not complete until he publicly announced to the entire nation that Ali Talib AS is his successor when he worked at this the people at that time 50 years later after the Prophet what did the Ummah do after the Prophet Imam al-Hassan AS saw that Islam was fading away by the corruption of the Umayyads at the hands of Yazid to the point where Yazid states Benny Hashim, the sons of Hashim played the game into power and no news has come if we read this I'll read it again Benny Hashim, the sons of the Hashimic tribe game played into power no revelations revealed and no news has come at first he reveals to the tribe of Benny Hashim the sons of Prophet Muhammad he is from the tribe of Benny Hashim Imam Ali Talib everyone from the Hashimic tribe they disguised themselves to get into power and rule over the nation so they were game playing and in the second part he says he rejects the authenticity of the revelations of Islam the revelations that Prophet Muhammad came with and he said that no news has come from Islam if we get to understand this this is the person that was leading the so called Muslim Ummah at that time and actually it wasn't just rejection Yazid denied that revelations actually came down to Prophet Muhammad so he denied Islam he was the one disguising himself not the Ahlul Bayt A.S Subhan Allah when someone sees something in himself he has to put it into others and this is what Yazid is doing and what the Ahlul Bayt A.S what any of the Ahlul Bayt A.S were doing this is the type of corruption Imam Hussain A.S had to face the Muslim Ummah was deviated to the point when the commander of the Faithful A.S when he was martyred in the Mahrab in the place of prayer when the news reached Sham the people of Sham asked the messenger who brought the news A.S used to pray this question really gives me the shivers because how are they Muslim the commander of the Faithful Prophet Muhammad says I am the city of knowledge and A.S is its gate how is this happening when they say A.S used to pray really is that a correct answer to ask about the commander of the Faithful however or according to other narrations the people that Yazid used to rule over in Sham they used to pray behind Yazid Salatul Juma Friday prayer on Wednesday while Yazid was drunk this is the people that used to live under the rule of Yazid and yet people are coming to me and saying or coming to the followers of A.S what was there for Imam Hussain to save in Karbala what was there for Hussain to save I mean the people that do hear these historical facts this is not something that we make up as we go along no this is a historical fact if you go to the books of history you'll find these evidences but inshallah we'll continue this but after this short break so stay tuned and we'll come back to you shortly he's a part of a lineage that has its own history of bravery against oppression his father Ali Ibn Abi Talib Muslims and non-Muslims like attested that George Jardak, a popular Christian author with his book the voice of human justice and the popular call by Imam Ali people are of two kinds they're either your brothers in faith or you're equal in humanity his son Imam Ali Sajad has written volumes on every rate you can think of and manifested as the guide for human rights and these are only a drop in the ocean of examples we can extract from the lives of the Ahlul Bayt in addition to their stands which had shook the empires of tyranny and oppression now in contrast to the other imams Imam al-Hussain's stand was more of a visible one because his time was different he was living in was more of a critical and sensitive one and there was no option to passively allow Yazid to casually represent the face of Islam not only that but its values not only for his time but for the generations to come including us when it comes to having someone illegitimately represent your core values in what you ultimately stand for it becomes a responsibility upon your shoulders to make a stand to liberate yourself from that burden Imam al-Hussain aleyhi salam taught us how to do just that to be free free from the pressure to follow oppressive leadership become our own leaders become indestructible with our will our passion, our sacrifice and our love for that which we stand for today we even write this moment when we flip through the channels or switch through the social media outlets we are bombarded with too many political agendas each with its own interests and in the midst of all of this we are being taught how to think and what to think it's almost as if they're taking away that will even to think for ourselves and our thoughts have been subconsciously manipulated to like or dislike certain things certain people or even perhaps entire populations of people speaking first hand as a Muslim woman practicing the hijab as a minority it becomes easy to reduce me in the media to assemble for example this piece of cloth and it may even be simple to reduce an entire religion millions of Muslims to let's say this piece of cloth for example becomes becomes easy to bash us all the time that way to reduce us when reduction happens becomes easy to target that specific group and we notice that when every time the word terrorism is mentioned in the media or even heard we Muslims become terrified and wish it's not a Muslim now imagine the average person who has very limited knowledge on Islam I'm not surprised there's all this misconception there's all these negative stereotypes out there Imam Hussein's role extends beyond the battlefield it's up to us now to take him as a role model to become the leaders of today to train and mentor the leaders of tomorrow in a world which is filled with tyranny and injustice and inshallah that will be our way to take the Ahl al Bayt as a whole and ensure that we continue their battle for justice thank you very much Asalaamu Alaikum respected viewers brothers and sisters once again Asalaamu Alaikum You were just presented with an interview with a sister who wanted to input her ideas and the historical facts regarding Ahl al Bayt reviving Islam so we do thank you sister Asalaam for your contribution but before the break I was talking about how the ummah was being drained of their religion and here with me brother Hussein from the UK who has joined me in the second part of the episode so it's welcome Asalaamu Alaikum thank you on this tragic occasion the month of Muharram the month of sorrow the month where the Holy's blood was shed in this very place and the Holy's women were taking captives from this very place but brother before the break I mentioned some historical facts I would like to continue with two or three narrations from the Sunni school of thought before we get into it one of the students of Ahmed bin Hanban asked Ahmed regarding Yazid he says I asked Ahmed regarding Yazid Ahmed replied by saying Yazid killed tens of the companions of the Holy Prophet degraded Islam and its nation and should never be taken as a reliable source in transmitting hadith this is in their books that Yazid killed tens of the companions of Prophet Muhammad and did what he did in Mecca and Medina yet people are saying that you know what he was a leader you can't talk about him we go further this is mentioned in Al Sunnah by Abu Bakr Al-Khalal commenting on this Ibn Muflah Al-Hambali from the school of thought commenting on the previous quote he says this is a clear indication of Yazid's immorality he comments again because this is a clear indication of Yazid's immorality we finish there we move on to the Establisher of the Wahhabi non-Islamic school of thought Ibn Taymiyyah himself states do not curse Yazid by name when I read this it actually made me wonder what's inside these people's brains no one knows what Yazid has done as well exactly if we do read the guidance of the prophet's biography page 567 if you want you can go refer to this and you'll find these quotes in these narrations do not curse Yazid by name but simply say may Allah curse the oppressors it doesn't make any sense to me he goes further on saying the motive of Yazid and people like him are to be immoral people who seek to destruct their nation isn't this considered oppression I mean in the greatest form in fact I mean the one who seeks to destruct mentally and terrorize his nation isn't that oppression to the nation and oppression to Islam you can see it as well the Islamic historian Yazid's officials and governors were influenced by his corruption during his rule singing spread throughout Medina musical instruments were used, sold and brought to publicly people also used to drink wine in public this is during, I mean exactly during Yazid's time and they are asking us not to curse him publicly I mean forget about I don't know, forget about cursing him publicly that's a different story Allah subhan, I don't know when he says don't curse him by name I mean they're trying to make people laugh at them I mean it's fun to see this nonsense how are they trying to confuse themselves sorry how are they trying to make themselves confident with their books when they have contradictions within their exact books but respected viewers if you do want to join a discussion feel free to call in on the free number, toll free number via Viber or your telephone in the provided numbers below the screen however I would like to mention some of the stands that Imam Hussain al-Islam stood against you know, Imam Hussain al-Islam if we looked at his life especially in Karbala we find that he stood against every act of discrimination against humanity for example take the first act we'll take the first act into consideration and that's the need to make a stand in the face of evilness and against evilness Imam Hussain saw that the Islamic nation was being drowned and hatred and oppression and the corruption spread faster than a disease in a nation or in a country when a disease comes we remove all the afflictions from the true Muslims and the Shia al-Bahil Bayt al-Alim al-Salam when a disease hits a country you'll see it spreading very fast yet we find that the corruption and the evilness spreading during the time of Yazid and during the Umayyad dynasty were spreading faster than a disease you just mentioned publicly drinking selling musical instruments in the city of Rasulullah and they asked and people ask why or what was at stake that Imam Hussain had to rise and sacrifice himself I mean you tell me what wasn't at stake you tell us how did Yazid serve Islam then we'll tell you why Imam Hussain rose against Yazid and it's obvious everyone knows I mean when someone tells you the sun is up it's daytime when someone tells you the sun has set down it's nighttime it's that obvious you don't need any proof to tell you that it's nighttime right now because it's dark even though in Yazid's case there is countless proof of what is that countless proof countless unimaginable proof unimaginable proof but if we looked at it Islam ran through the veins the blood the body the souls of Ahlul Bayt Ahlul Bayt to the point where it became family the Ahlul Bayt it wasn't just a religion that they brought forth for the ummah and everybody embraced it and everybody lived roughly after you know what I mean no Ahlul Bayt it ran through their veins to the point where defending it even if that means putting their lives on the line so be it Muahsin A.S. says you know if the religion of my grandfather the religion of Allah will not spread unless the swords are on my body then let it be then come take my body come take because Imam Hussain A.S. knew what was going to happen in the future when yesterday we talked about how Muhammad prophesied that Allah SWT has created Shia now it will create Shia you know what I mean so these simple facts if we do get to ponder upon them will actually become very you know we'll reform ourselves and that's in tomorrow's topic insha'Allah we'll talk about but sorry I spoke a lot insha'Allah I'll give you the chance after the break so soon in respect the viewers do stay tuned after the break for we will insha'Allah continue discussion the break represented with is report recorded by brother Hussain in the streets of Karbala' during the month of Muharram so to that break stay tuned it's been about a week carrying the shrines for the month of Muharram they're preparing the carpets the building work the the sa'ad the black cloth for the month of Muharram insha'Allah tomorrow night they'll be changing the flags on top of the dome of A.S. and A.S. from the red flag to the black flag to commemorate the month of Muharram and the day of A.S. one thing that many people usually miss out or usually forget is that these are not just the graves of the imams A.S. and A.S. the battle of Karbala' actually happened where we are standing now this is the ground of the battlefield but A.S. was murdered by tyrants but A.S. hands were cut off by tyrants this is why A.S. was killed by a three-headed arrow we need to remember this when we were in Karbala' we need to mourn the Shahda'a of Karbala' by remembering what they went through by commemorating their deaths and that's what these people are doing here these millions and millions of mourners and visitors they come to commemorate and mourn the Shahada of the Ahlul Bayt and the oppression of the Ahlul Bayt the Chai of Imam al-Hussain the servants of Imam al-Hussain they pour the tea for the Zawar for the millions of Zawar there's countless Barakat in this tea that causes in the name of Imam al-Hussain Alhamdulillah we have been granted the chance to drink the tea of Imam al-Hussain during the visitation of the Haram Respect the viewers brothers and sisters once again Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh Brother Hussain is here with me in the studio yet he was outside recording the atmosphere of Karbala in the month of Muharram I do encourage you if you have any comments if you have any questions to ask to comment on anything that we have said to clear stuff up please do call in through the numbers you are provided with on the bottom of the screen for inshallah we will have a better understanding through your comments your debates your discussions and your questions but before the break we talked how the Muslims were being deviated and that is what caused Imam al-Hussain to rise against the Umayyad dynasty Brother Hussain I talked a bit of a lot before the break but not enough I say your blessings your presence is blessings but if we looked at history history is filled with evidences as you mentioned you know uncounted and numerous evidences regarding why Imam al-Hussain al-Islam rose I mean the first thing was to revive Islam and when people asked you guys give Imam al-Talib a very high status it's not us it's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Prophet Muhammad himself states to Ali oh Ali if I didn't fear from my ummah I would have stated something in your honor I would have stated something the same as the Christians I would have stated in Jesus but I don't want to deviate to ummah this is the status of Imam al-Talib al-Islam for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Prophet Muhammad so we do find and I apologize for not properly narrating that tradition inshallah get references for that tradition and narrate it once again but Ibn Atheb just to comment earlier about Yazid and publicly drinking and musical instruments Ibn Atheb a very well known historian he says it is narrated that Yazid was well known for playing string instruments heavy wine drinking singing hunting occupying himself with lads female singers and dogs I mean I just want to very stomach is there I just want to pause right there alcoholic singing instruments ashting hunting sorry occupying himself with lads women and dogs what an Islamic leader no seriously what an Islamic leader a person who does this doesn't deserve the title of Islam and actually he calls out that no revelations revealed and no news has come this is why the Muslim was deviated the greatest of the sins which is not mentioned is the cursing of Mirul Mu'mineen oh yeah definitely no as in like you mentioned earlier before the break you're saying the status of and why they why people ask us why we elevate them so high even though it's Allah who has elevated them definitely but we've seen many a hadith that the prophet himself tells us the greatness of and the greatness of the followers of the yes there's one hadith of the prophet he says the masjid of Allah says to Imam Ali glad tidings of Ali very little you and your companions and your Shia will be in paradise now now it's an honor for me to be called the Shia of Ali it's an honor I mean and then I see a hadith like this when I'm in Shia to hear the Ibrahim but let's not forget yesterday sorry this morning we got a phone not a phone call sorry that question that was sent he says you Shia claim that Imam Hussain saved Islam I mean please tell me how he didn't save Islam and actually the reply came is that we are actually honored to people call us Shia because Allah says he's an honor and one of his followers is Ibrahim they say Ibrahim is following you know Prophet Muhammad Prophet Abraham had his own lane in Islam Prophet Muhammad Muhammad came to finalize and seal the prophets you know I mean and he came before following the footsteps of Imam Ali that's what Allah wanted to say but in these days and prior to these days we find that one of the most beautiful illustrations that were illustrated by Imam Ali is his stance against injustice and his stance for the neglection against the neglection of human rights one of the most most important illustrations of Islam is one Al-Hurna Zid al-Riyahi was sent by Abdullah al-Muziad may Allah curse him to stop the caravan of Al-Husayn and to you know rewrote him to a different route than Kufa to make him go to Karbala although Allah swt chose Karbala for Al-Husayn Islam is the greatest of planets you know Al-Ziaad may Allah curse him or anyone Allah swt planned Al-Husayn to be in Karbala but however when upon the time that Al-Hurr reached Al-Husayn his his horses were thirsty his horses were thirsty and he was thirsty himself the first moment that Imam Al-Husayn the first act that he did was off for water Subhan Allah and this is why we find an intent of Al-Hurr leaving the lines and joining the lines of Al-Husayn because he realized that the man that he's fighting is a man of piety he has done nothing wrong all he wants was to lead the ummah to the straight path how is that difficult for the ummah for someone to lead them to the straight path yet we find Al-Husayn standing alone we have approximately a couple of minutes left I would like to hand it over to you to conclude the episode tonight we have two more minutes so please go ahead brother well thank you very much brother Ahmad no I mean thank you for joining us the points that have been made I'd know enough the points that should be made in the greatest game of things the hadith about the emir al-Mu'minin that we have mentioned oh yes they don't do justice to who emir al-Mu'minin is not a drop a drop in the ocean it doesn't do any justice now I could sit here and give you a hadith of the hadith but there's some people who won't help won't change anyone's mind some people stick to the comments that we received this morning which was what was the other comment the other comment or the other question that was asked is that the sacrifice of I can't really I was really tired it was a mockery of a comment yes I mean it was about bid'a and you guys when you do this it's bid'a reviving Islam when Allah swt you talked about the verse from the 32 chapter of the holy Quran or the second chapter chapter 22 verse 32 verse 32 when Allah says surely the one who revives the rituals of Allah and it's from the piety of the hearts we are reviving the rituals of Allah Islam is here presented by Ibn al-Hussan al-Islam yet easy we make it difficult for ourselves we do Allah has given to the prophet and the prophet has given it to us through the Ahl al-Bait definitely they're all created from the Nur of Allah as clear-cut as simple as all in Ahad'it Sunni Anshi Abouks now why there is this whole dispute why there's these mockery comments it doesn't really fit it doesn't fit into our minds but due to the shortage of time a shortage of time we are unable to continue further insha'Allah in the coming shows insha'Allah in the upcoming nights we will get to talk about the life of Ibn al-Hussan al-Islam prior and up to the tenth of Muharram so I encourage you in the upcoming nights to call in and let us know what you think about the discussion the previous or the current discussion and do not forget and do not miss the opportunity of visiting the shrine of Ibn al-Hussan al-Islam or having the chance to visit the shrine of Ibn al-Hussan the father of martyrs and his loyal brother Ibn al-Hussan al-Abbas the coming live show 5 a.m. Karbala time that's 9 or 10 p.m. D.C. time I encourage you I encourage you to not miss that show because you are provided with an opportunity like no other visiting the holy shrine of Ibn al-Hussan and his loyal brother Aba al-Fadal al-Abbas thank you very much for tuning in As-salamu alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh As-salam alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi
