 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. Welcome to a new live report from the Holy Land of Karbala. Respected viewers, we are in the streets, neighbouring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother, Abul Fadal Abbas, reporting to you live the atmosphere of the pilgrimage of the mid of Shabam, where the anniversary of the birth anniversary of Imam Mehdi may Allah hasten his reappearance. The general atmosphere, as you see now, thousands of pilgrims are flocking into the city, into the holy city of Karbala, particularly the old city where the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother, Abul Fadal Abbas, peace be upon them. And in addition to that, as we said before, more than 600 services units registered to provide the services for the pilgrims of Imam Hussein and his brother, Abul Fadal Abbas, peace be upon them. In addition to that, the popular mobilization units announced that more than 2,500 volunteer soldiers joined the service on the surroundings of the holy city of Karbala to protect the city from any possible terrorist attack. Respected viewers, I have my brother here, a pilgrim who will join me for a few questions about the pilgrimage and about the reason that brought him here to the holy city of Karbala. You know, many pilgrims, hundreds of thousands and probably millions of pilgrims on this anniversary in particular, we have in here.

My brother's name here is Mehdi Al-Nasri and he is from the populations of the holy city of Karbala. Dear brother, tell me about the visitation. The anniversary so that you can share the anniversary. My brother here says that the millions of pilgrims flocking into the holy city of Karbala is not a new thing in particular because we are used to such great numbers coming to the holy city of Karbala to perform the Ziyara rituals to Imam Hussein, peace be upon him and that these millions of people challenge the weather and you know the general atmosphere because it's it's it's it's basically almost summer in Iraq at the moment my brother here also added that despite the fact that you know the rising temperatures in addition to the circumstances of students in general that basically it's examinations time you know students are preparing to attend their final examinations through you know in a few in a few weeks you see you see all of that worldly you know circumstances never prevented the pilgrims from from coming to the holy city of Karbala and from performing the Ziyara rituals to Imam Hussein, peace be upon him and that my brother here I just asked him about the reason that brings those million millions of people to the holy city of Karbala and he made it very short he said that the love of the Ahlul Bayt, peace be upon him is the only reason that brings people here and which takes me back to yesterday my brother Ali Fadil have spoke of the call which is something very interesting to point out and to repeat from my brother he said that at the very beginning when Abraham, Prophet Abraham, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him the obligation to build the holy Ka'ba and after he finished you know the construction of Ka'ba Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ordered him to make a call the call of Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik Abraham at that time said oh Lord there are no people around me to hear that call or to submit to that call but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that this call is going to transcend through time and Masha Allah we have like a billion 200 millions and you know a lot of a lot of Muslims now more than a billion Muslims make that call annually in their hearts on the day of Hajj Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik the same thing when Imam Hussein made that call when he said is there anyone to help us that call transcend through time to our you know particular day now when we see millions of people who come to Imam Hussein who say Labbaik Allah Hussein that call they are making you know not only on the pilgrimage of of Shahbam of the middle of Shahbam but also on the pilgrimage of Muharram and the holy pilgrimage of Arba'in respected viewers we shall take a short break and be back to you in a minute inshallah stay tuned for live footages from the streets neighboring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother peace be upon them in addition to live videos from the from the surrounding of the of the holy shrine of Imam Hussein stay tuned dear brothers and sisters the Salamu alaikum, respect the viewers, back to you from the street, neighbouring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother Abul Fadal Abbas. Peace be upon them in a live report before we take the break. We spoke of the general atmosphere of the Holy City of Karbala on the time of pilgrimage. In addition I had a brother here from the Holy City of Karbala who spoke to me of the atmosphere in general and of the reasons that pushed the pilgrims, that put the pilgrims in a state of coming to Imam Hussein. Peace be upon him. Now my brothers and sisters, I have a few narrations that I totally stress basically. Narrations from the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, and his progeny, narrations from Imam Muhammad Al Baqar and his son Imam Ja'far, Ibn Muhammad Al Sadiq, peace be upon them. Of course there is another one from Amirul Mu'mineen, peace be upon him, on Fabil the Mid of Sha'ban, the night of the Mid of Sha'ban, I said it yesterday and I'm repeating it again that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, and his progeny has said that during the night of the 15th of Sha'ban, of Sha'ban. Allah the Almighty takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life, death and welfare of people. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the narration basically says that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will put the decisions of people welfare, sustenance and people destinies up until the next year, the next mid of of Sha'ban. The narration continues next to the night of Qadr, the night of the 15th of Sha'ban is the most auspicious night. According to the imams Muhammad Ibn, Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Baqir, alaihi salam and Ja'far Ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq, alaihi salam, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has promised to fulfill every legitimate desire put forward to him tonight. So my brothers and sisters prepare your legitimate desires, prepare your wishes and go with your wishes to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on this night because it is a very important night, it is a very auspicious night but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will answer everyone. There is no unanswerable dua, insha'Allah on this night. The narration also continues, during this night Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bestows on his people from his bounty and forgive them out of his grace and generosity. So it's not only that your wishes are to be fulfilled but also all of your sins to be forgotten. Prepare yourself my brothers and sisters, it is such a great night. Of the blessings of this night is that at the dawn of this night was born the leader of the time, Imam al-Mahdi, and what a blessing, you know, anniversary and what a blessing occasion that an Imam, the master of our time, was born in Iraq. Alhamdulillah. The narration also continues, this is a night in which not a single person supplicates to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala except that his prayers are accepted. Nobody asks for a single thing on this night except that it will be given to him. And there is an important thing to shed light upon. You know tonight is a unique opportunity because it happened once a year that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala answers everybody. So what I want you to do my brothers and sisters is that you pray for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to hasten the reappearance of the master of our time, to hasten the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi may Allah hasten his reappearance. Don't you want to see justice? Don't you want to see the divine equality, the divine justice happening on earth? Don't you want to see you know an end to oppression? Don't you want to see the tyrants being judged by Imam al-Mahdi being punished for their tyranny? So brothers and sisters prepare your souls, prepare yourselves with your pure souls insha'Allah with a wish to be fulfilled by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is to hasten the reappearance of the master of our time.

Respective viewers, we were speaking of the narration, of the narrations of Thadil, the night of the middle of Sha'ban, which is basically tonight, insha'Allah. Allah, the Almighty, the narration consumes that Allah, the Almighty has chosen this night for the Ahlul Bayt, alayhim salam, you see there is some sort of specification that Allah, the Almighty has chosen this night for the Ahlul Bayt, alayhim salam in the same way as he has chosen the Qadr night for our Prophet, peace be upon him, and his progeny. So be proud, the Shi'ats of the Ahlul Bayt, that this night is for the Ahlul Bayt, and as you know that the Ahlul Bayt are the gates of fulfilment to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. So what about a night that is specificated to the Ahlul Bayt, alayhim salam? The narration continues, the first thing that the Salih, which is the Arabic word for the waifara, but what waifara? The waifara on the path towards Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. Must perform on this night is that he must remove the material pleasures and enjoyment. Brothers and sisters don't be surprised, I spoke on the same subject yesterday and for the importance of this subject I am repeating it today. We were speaking about the waifara on the path towards Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, that he must remove the material pleasures and enjoyment of this world from in front of his eyes. So remove all the material pleasures and enjoyment of this world from in front of his eyes, and enjoyment of this world from in front of his eyes. So remove all the worldly pleasures from in front of your eyes, my brothers and sisters. And from his heart and in order, not only his eyes, but his heart also, and in order to make the most of this special night and ensure that all of this actions are performed properly, he must think to himself that tonight, as the last night on this earth, basically when you do the Amal of the Mid of Shaaban, you must think deep down inside of your heart that it is the last night we spend on earth. That tomorrow we are travelling towards Allah SWT. We are going to be buried tomorrow. So we've got to think that way. We've got to think that this is the last night we spend on earth and that the Amal we do, whatever the worshipping that we are doing, it must be considered as the last worshipping that we do. The narration continues meaning that tomorrow he shall die and thus he will no longer have the opportunity to perform any more good deeds and that tomorrow is the day of judgement. Imagine that tomorrow is the day of judgement. Imagine that Allah SWT after this night will lift your spirits towards him. So when you do that, when you pray for the Master of our time, when you pray for the forgiveness, when you pray for your hajjat, when you submit all of these worshipping in the hands, in between the hands of Allah SWT, metaphorically speaking, it must be submitted in a way of hope, in a way of knowledge that it is the last moment we spend on this earth. And what a last moment it will be. What a gracious last moment it will be. Allah SWT puts so much blessings on this night. As the narration says, the narrations from the Imam from the Holy Prophet, Peace be upon him and his progeny, the great honour of this night is that, I repeat it again and again and again, is that all the hajjat are insha'Allah to be fulfilled. Is that you as worshippers must be like way for us on the path of Allah. You know, seeking His forgiveness, seeking His blessings, and most of all on this night, as I said, my brothers and sisters, we must seek an important thing in order to fulfil God's justice. We must ask Allah SWT, we must pray for Allah SWT to hasten the reappearance of the Master of our time, to hasten the reappearance of Sahib al-Asr al-Zaman, because on his appearance, the world will be filled with justice as it is now filled with injustice, as now it is filled with oppression and tyranny. Respected viewers, I will begin with the Amal of the mid of Shaaban, what to recite and how to do the prayers and how to ask Allah SWT. And there is a very beautiful narration from Amir al-Mumineen, about Dua Qumail. So stay tuned, we will go in a short break and we'll be back insha'Allah in a minute. Stay tuned with live footages, live videos from Bab al-Qibla and from the areas neighbouring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother Abu al-Fadal al-Abbas, peace be upon them. Stay tuned, your brothers and sisters. In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.

Respected viewers, back to you from Sha'ar al-Qibla of Imam Hussein, holy shrine, peace be upon him. Before we take our short break, we spoke of the importance of the night of Misha'ban. My brothers and sisters, it's so hot over here that my iPad just turned off because of high temperature. However, we continue and masha'Allah, despite the fact that the weather is too hot, we can see that hundreds of thousands of people, I wish you were here with me. And insha'Allah, through the cameras of Imam Hussein TV3, you can get to see the numbers of people. Despite the fact that the weather is so hot, you can get to see thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people who came not only on this day but also on yesterday and the day before. We come back to the Amal of the month of Sha'ban. The various narrations report various Amal and supplications of the mid of Sha'ban. But here are the most important ones of them. First, recite 100 times. SubhanAllah. Wa-l-hamdulillah. Wa-la ilaha illa Allah. Wa-lahu akbar. Repeat it after me. SubhanAllah. Wa-l-hamdulillah. Wa-la ilaha illa Allah. Wa-lahu akbar. The second Amal is take a ghusl, a bath, with the thoughts of washing away sins. When you take in your bath generally, you have to basically think of it as a bath of washing out sins upon you. And also you've got to think of it as the last bath you take in your life. The third time, the third Amal, sorry, you have to recite 100 times, Astaghfirullah, with the mention, with the attention to seeking forgiveness, which is linked to the previous subject when we spoke on the importance of the night, of the mid of Sha'ban, when we said that Allah swt tends to forgive those who really intend to repent to Him. And here we see it in the Amal. Recite, I'm repeating it again. Recite 100 times, Astaghfirullah, with the attention to seeking forgiveness. The fourth Amal is recite Ziyarat of Imam Hussein, alayhi salam. And special Ziyarat of Imam Hussein, alayhi salam for 15 Sha'ban, as all the prophets and angels visit the Imam on this night. There is the Ziyarat of Imam Hussein and there is a special Ziyarat of the mid of Sha'ban that you have to perform as the holy prophets and messengers of Allah swt have performed that Ziyarat on the mid of Sha'ban as a short salutation in addition to the Ziyarat. One may go to the terrace, an elevated place could be a roof or the top of a veil or the top of your houses generally or the top of a hill, sorry, look left and right and towards the sky and recite, salamu alayka ya Aba Abdullah al Hussein wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh which basically means peace be upon you O Aba Abdullah peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you. The fifth Amal is to recite Salat of Ja'far Al-Tayyar the sixth Amal which is to recite du'a kumail for seeking forgiveness in a hadith it is mentioned that kumail ibn Ziyat said I was sitting with my master Amir al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib alayhi salam in Masjid al-Kufa and a group of companions were also sitting with him one of them asked him what the meaning of the verse were upon every wise command is made clear the Imam peace be upon him replied the meaning of this is the night of the fifteenth of Sha'ban the Imam continues I swear to the one who holds the life of Ali in his hands there is not a single servant of Allah except that all the good and bad that will reach him and this year is divided up and handed out on the fifteenth of Sha'ban and this good and bad will continue from the fifteenth of Sha'ban until the next year on the same night the servant who stays up this night and recites the du'a of Khidr will have his applications answered this du'a taught to kumail ibn Ziyad and now known properly as du'a kumail so my brothers and sisters be aware that du'a kumail is basically an important on the mid of Sha'ban the seventh thing as I said before which is and I remind you of it again my brothers and sisters one must see closeness to Imam al-Mahdi may Allah hasten his reappearance the hujjah of our time and here continues the alqab of the imam the nicknames of the imam the greatest secret of Allah the possessor of the divine accultation and the message of the prophet the successor of all prophets and successor of all successors of the prophets the physical manifestation of the justice of Allah the flag of guidance the one who will destroy all corruption and oppression and those who oppose the truth the destroyer of the enemies of Allah the magnitude and the misguided sorry and the disbelievers the one who will purify the earth of deviation and worship of the self subhanAllah all these are the nicknames of the imam and inshaAllah all the concepts of these nicknames will come true after the dhuhoor of the imam after the appearance of the imam the greatest sign of Allah the one who acts as the connection between the heavens and the earth our imam qaim may Allah hasten his reappearance and may my soul and the souls of my forefathers and the souls of all those in the universe be sacrificed for him on this night it continues one should be also busy with with ziyara one should be always busy with the worshipping of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as I said earlier my brothers and sisters we should be way for us on the path seeking forgiveness and seeking closeness towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we must also seek forgiveness for our sins brothers we are all we all have sins we all have sin one day and we are all a bone to commit sins all over our life and yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has specified a night for the ahlul bayt you see the matter of being shia of let's say being the lovers of the ahlul bayt it is a great opportunity to take our blessings to take the blessings of the ahlul bayt to feel the blessings of the ahlul bayt on this night in particular we must go with pure heart with the intention of seeking forgiveness with the intention of of you know with the intention of praying that may the qa'am of Al-Muhammad may Allah hasten his reappearance would you know would hasten that Allah would hasten the reappearance of the master of our time respected viewers I leave you now with live footages from Babu Qibla of Imam Hussein and the areas neighboring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother peace be upon them thank you very much for joining us in our live reports stay tuned for more live reports and also reports from the streets of the neighboring the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother peace be upon them and reports about the general atmosphere of the pilgrimage thank you very much my brothers and sisters stay tuned
