 In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. While Allah Almighty is stated in Quran, Allah Almighty, in this very holy verse, has attributed three features to Quran. The one, Hudal-l-Nas, the second one by Yanat-e-Minalhuda, and the third one for Qan. There have been a stated plenty of interpretations, particularly the one stated by the Ahlul-Bait. They have all said the same thing, Hudal-l-Nas is all about Islamic beliefs, Islamic moralities, Islamic rulings. Allah revealed Quran, one for this reason, and that is Hudal-l-Nas. It is not merely revealed for believers, it has been revealed for everyone. It is a guidance for all humanity, not merely Muslims or believers. The day in which Quran was revealed, how many believers did exist? Just two. One, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and the other one is Imam Ali, peace be upon them both. Abu Talib, Abdul-Muttalib, they also had their own beliefs and faith, and we have no doubt about it. But people were not believers. Quran has also addressed all humanity, not only believers. So Quran is for all human beings. It addresses its speech to all human beings, not only people in Iran, people from Iraq, or merely Muslims. When we are talking about Quran, whom we are addressing our speech to, what's the population of the world? More than, it is said, more than 7 billion people. They are all addressing Hudan-l-Nas. That's one side of the issue tonight, and the other. There is the phrase, late Ayatollah to see, stated, and talked about this issue. He said, it's all about Prophet's news, and it's nothing but lessons for all humanity. The stories of Ahlul Bayt, prophets, are much more than the Hadith and verses regarding Islamic rules, because they are considered as life, lessons about life, for they have a strong effect on people. They are more influential. When you read the stories in Quran, we as experts are affected. The impact is much more than the verses regarding Islamic rules, or their stories of pious jurists. They sometimes encourage us more than the blessings made by the experts. As stated, is regarded and related to the stories of Ahlul Bayt and prophets, and they are considered all lessons of life. And the third one is Furqan. Furqan here is the cut in line between right and wrong. What is legitimate or illegitimate? It has been stated in traditions. Prophets came and invited people to monotheism, unity, hereafter, Imamat, and before Ahlul Bayt and prophets, people were all same and they were all infidels, they were all hypocrites. These were the prophets who came and showed what is right and what is wrong. Like genuine money or the fake one, the one who is making the fake money, does some delicate stuff so that no one can understand what is fake and what is genuine. But the one who, as an expert, knows the difference, knows how to recognize what is fake or what is genuine. How can we distinguish the accurate and the correct Islam and the incorrect Islam? Do we have an incorrect Islam? Of course we do. Which was followed by Bani Umayyad or Bani Abbas. Quran would differentiate among those. And this is about the third one. Quran added a prefix to the word forgan and it stated al-forgan. And all these delicate issues encourage people to convert to Islam. Many of them were infidel experts, hypocrites. They were all delicate points made by Quran regarding its accuracy and fluency. I would like to skip this point. Well, you are all experts in the field. You're all teachers, seminary students. You all are aware of this. Huda has been stated without prefix. The same. I'm talking about this very verse. He didn't say, wa-forgana. Of course, it's somewhere else, somewhere else as it is stated, wa-forgana. What's the prefix? The prefix al is doing here. Banyanat al-Nas, bayanat al-Minal Huda, without prefix. But wa-forgan, this prefix has been added. Well, as Arabic literature states, as you might and you have opportunity to refer to, wa-forgana. Quran is a guidance. And this is the only thing that can differentiate between what is wrong and what is right. People like Muawiyah used to have Quran. People like Yazid used to have Quran as well. People like Matavakil. And this Quran is the only thing that can distinguish and differentiate between what is wrong and what is right. And as I stated, Quran is considered to be as the only matter and it is the only thing that can differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. This is a very general issue and it has been stated in many books. You can refer to them. Some of you might already know about it. What's the difference between what is wrong and what is right? It has been stated in many traditions. Ramadan is the spring of Quran. What's the difference between the spring and the other seasons, like summer or winter? Well, as you see, it's a time when flower, the blossoms will open. And Ramadan is the spring of Quran. What does it mean? Undoubtedly, it means we have to read Quran. We have to memorize Quran. We also have to comprehend and understand the real concepts of Quran. There's no doubt about these issues. But they're not obligatory, mandatory issues. They're all religiously recommendatory issues. We are all recommended to finish Quran from the beginning 40 times in Ramadan. Some people read Quran, but they do not ponder about their real concept. Quran is like a doctor's prescription. You have to read it. But this is only the beginning of it. You have to understand this and you have to act upon it. If you make a mistake, a subtle mistake, you might suffer dire consequences. It is generally essential here is acting upon what Quran has ordered us to do. It's a prescription for this world and the hereafter. It's a prescription for all good deeds. It's a key to all prosperity. It's a key for getting away and standing away from all sinister deeds. But we have to act upon it. It's better to open up a religious issue here. Many might be ignorant of this. What's the meaning of acting upon Quran? For example, the one who is married, as an example, has some rights. Quran talked about this issue. The husband must know. The wife also must know what are their rights regarding each other. And if they know what are their rights and they do not fulfill their rights, it's a pity. If a husband understands what his wife's rights are, he has to act upon it. He has to fulfill his rights. Here has been stated in a tradition. What I'm saying now is just a simple, subtle warning to experts. This might be a new issue for many people. Those who read Quran and do not act upon it. This tradition has been stated by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The tarqa is the paplora form of tarqa. When we read, we open up our mouth. We use our vocal cords. We use our mouth muscles to utter the Quranic words. What's tarqa there? Where is it located? These are two bones located on the sides of the throat. This is a metaphor. This is a metaphor. Quran is filled with metaphors. Much more than real meanings. It means from these two bones among which throat is located. And this, by this throat, we are just uttering Quranic words. What I simply assume from Prophet's statement, it means those who read Quran and do not act. It means as if those who read Quran and do not act upon it as if they have not read Quran at all. Well, regarding this issue in Prophet's tradition, the word Olaik has been stated. And those who read Quran and do not act upon it are nothing but evils. Reading Quran is recommendatory. It's really good. But if you read it and do not act upon it, not only this reading Quran is not useful. It is also a sinister deed. Imagine a sick person, a patient without a prescription. He might feel pain, but the one who has a prescription and he knows what to do to cure himself and does not act upon it, he should be blamed. The holy month of Ramadhan is the spring of Quran. We have to preach what has been stated in Quran. And what is really important here is we have to act upon the concepts of Quran. Aliyah also used to read Quran. Imam Ali also used to read Quran, but which one was right? Who did act upon it? He came to Ali, alaihi salam, in the Jamal war. The both sides are companions of prophets. Imam Ali, middle of the war, said a statement. We have to be really careful and vigilant regarding this delicate points, the points which could change the world as they have already did, they have already done. Imam Ali, in the middle of the war, said a statement to one of his opponents. It is stated that Imam Ali, alaihi salam, used to be upon him, has nine statements, which are truly precious. Imam Ali, alaihi salam, in the middle of the war, told someone, go and contemplate and contemplate what is right. And you'll see which one is legitimate and which one is illegitimate. Quran, regarding this verse, in which he said Quran was revealed in Ramadhan. People like Prophet, who used to follow Quran, they used to act upon Quran. Their moralities were based on Quran. There is nothing like Quran which can distinguish what is right and what is wrong. Holy Bible, the parts which are original, could also differentiate. But the precious thing that can differentiate between what is right and what is wrong is Quran. Ramadhan is the spring of Quran. May God bless us all and give us the opportunity to get the most out of this month. We're all obliged to those who are able to understand more, comprehend more, and they are physically capable more. Their responsibilities are also bigger. And it's quite natural. When we refer to those who acted upon Quran, like 14 infallibles, we'll get astonished by what they have done and what they have said. Well, the religious Islamic rule I would like to talk about is, there's a married woman. She has a husband. They have to know their rights, religious rights, regarding each other. They have to learn and they have to act upon them. Their husband must not do haram thing. Why falsehood? Must not do haram thing. Well, let's consider a single boy or single girl. Do they have to learn about these issues? Of course, they're not religiously obliged to, for they are still bachelor. It's also self-explanatory. The single boy or single girl is not religiously obliged to learn about the matrimonial issues. But he can learn so we can teach others, teach those who are married. A single girl is recommended to learn matrimonial issues so she can let others know, especially those who are married. And she must know what are their rights regarding each other. The teacher must let the girls and the boys know about these issues in school, in universities, neighbors. We are obliged to let each other know about Islamic issues. But if the whole world is aware of this issue, which is not, so there's no need to learn. We, Muslims, you, Muslims, we are believers, everyone in his business. We're all obliged to learn about these issues so we can avoid and stop people from doing bad deeds and encourage them to do good deeds. If all are aware of this issue, we're not then obliged to. But since not all people are aware of these issues, we are religiously obliged to learn about these issues and let others know about them as well. One might know but does not act upon it. So we cannot say the single girl is not obliged to learn about this issue or the single boy as well. They're both, whether single or married, are obliged to learn about these issues. This Salfur Ghan, this phrase is really significant. This prefix has not been added haphazardly. We have to figure about this issue and this can be done in Ramadan. It's all time, lifetime, duty, but we're all recommended to do so in Ramadan. There are plenty of people, they were and there will be. Generally, those were illegitimate, used two techniques, one lying and exaggeration. And these two are influential on people and common people like you. You can refer and prove it yourself. This is a story back to 20 or 30 years ago. One of the Shia opponents and opposers who wrote many books, I saw a statement by which I was shocked. He was lying too much. It was an expert in lying. He was talking about Imam Mahdi. I do not remember the source. In that book, he said that Imam Zaman still did not bore. And one of the Shia scholars like Sheikh Siddu confessed this issue. And he gave the source in his book. I was quite shocked about this. We have heard plenty of things from Sheikh Siddu but nothing like that. No one can say that Sheikh Siddu has such an statement. What Sheikh Siddu said, I refer to the source. He talked about Imam Mahdi. And he then said that there are some people who deny the existence of Imam Mahdi. Some say that Imam Mahdi has not been born yet. And he mistakenly attributed this lie to Sheikh Siddu. What is right? What is legitimate and illegitimate? And the right thing is that Imam Mahdi was born. He exists. This is right. This is Quran which can distinguish and differentiate what is right and what is wrong. We experts, religious experts are much more responsible. And we are obliged to let the whole world know about this. To believers and non-believers, Muslims and non-Muslims. Wise or unwise people. An unwise person is obliged to learn and an expert is obliged to teach. Quran differentiates what is wrong and what is wrong. But Quran ordered the experts to teach and he also addressed to his speech to unwise people to learn. It is said that there are 7 billion people living and more than 5 billion people are religious people. There might be infidels among them. Atheists as well. Quran is also for them as well. Not all are atheists. Not all are enemies and infidels. So Quran is for all of them. And they all can be guided. They all can be guided to their straight path. The one who is a sinister is capable of turning to be a righteous person. You experts are all aware of this. When an unwise person gets to know about the reality and truth he would turn to be a wise man. Like Bahar. Allah M.A. Bahar Al-Bahar. Which has been stated in many books. I have personally seen this. Sayed Bahar Al-Alun. When he was a jurist traveled from Najaf to Karbala passing through gardens and waters. There was a small town which exists now. Called a place where Zol Kef was buried. It is called Kefal. There was a seminary school for Jews. As I read there were four seminary schools for Jews. One of them was there. In a time in which he was really busy. He passed away in 1211. He used to discuss with Jews. One of the religious experts in Shia wrote a book about his discussion with Jews. Bahar Al-Alun used to discuss and debate with Jews. He confessed that they have all turned and converted to Islam. Bahar Al-Alun when he was a jurist. When he was young he used to learn all about the Bible's Old Testament and New Testament. So we can have the ability to discuss and turn people to Islam. Do you think that Jews would not convert to Islam? Of course they were. But you have to have the ability and tact to talk about the truth. There are plenty of examples stated in history. I have read thousands of examples stated in plenty of books regarding Jews experts. And other denomination experts. Idol worshipers as well. There are millions of idol worshipers. They have experts but they are idol worshipers. There are atheists. Bahar Al-Alun was not obliged to learn about these issues. But he did. He had the chance and succeeded in converting Jews to Islam. They all turned to Shizm. And if they remained in Judaism, who would have been responsible? Some might not be able. They are not capable of doing so. So there is no problem with that. But since we are able, we have to. We have to let the whole world know about these issues. Not only and merely Middle East. We are at receipt. The whole world. Those who can listen. Quran can differentiate between what is wrong and what is wrong. We are all religiously obliged to do. To read Quran and act upon it. Let the whole world know about us. If Bahar Al-Alun hasn't talked about them, they would have remained Jews. And they could have brought up ex-Jews in the year after. For they were all deprived of information regarding Islam and Shizm. Jews converted. We have to let them know. We have to preach. One of the significant issues in today's role. We are all responsible regarding distinguishing and differentiating what is right and what is wrong. Some might not be aware of these issues and they can justify. They have not been informed about what is right and what is wrong. Like Jews or Christians. If they are not informed, we cannot blame them. Islamic rules are for all people. But those who do not believe, they are not obliged. But if they understand about rules and they do not act, they must be blamed and punished hereafter. Another significant issue in today, particularly in non-Islamic countries. There is too much liberty and freedom. They might not be aware of Islam and Islamic issues. They might be skeptical about Islam. Those cruel things that oppressors are doing, like ISIS. They are following blasphemies. They are beheading innocent kids. They are falsely and negatively advertising about Islam. Who is responsible to show the real Islam? Who is responsible to let the whole world know that they are not Muslims and they are not following the real meaning of Islam? We are all obliged to. This is a big responsibility. There have been stated plenty of stories in history. In all, rulings and regulations. What is done to aspire to a traitor, the one who has played with the domestic security? Nothing but death penalty. Well, I remember and you can ask, there is a place, Umut Tabool. There is a mosque now, near that place. Dholkarim Ghassim came and made a revolution. After a year or two, he claimed that there were some traitors. In that particular religion, which was nothing but a desert, he hanged them, executed them. Then he was defeated. And then they made a mosque there. But they were all executed because of trism. And un-Muslim would mistakenly come up with some false conclusion regarding Islam. It's a common thing. There might be some two or three countries, which execution does not exist. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It's a common story. There are thousands of stories like that. Prophet Muhammad was a traitor. He used to pretend to be a Muslim. He used to pray behind Prophet Muhammad. He used to fast in Ramadan. He used to listen and sit in front of Prophet's pulpit. A lady who was a singer, from among hypocrites of Mecca, she was asked to go and ask Hatem Abib Al-Tahid to write some reports about prophet's war strategies. And this is not about spying. The lady came. Prophet saw her. Prophet knew that she was a singer. Prophet knew that she had some relationship with young people of hypocrites. Prophet said, what brought you here? She said, I came here to travel. She said, I have no money. I'm here to ask for money. Prophet smiled. Prophet said, couldn't the young people supply for you? Hatem Abib Al-Tahid wrote a letter to hypocrites of Mecca and revealed the secrets of prophet's war strategies. This lady concealed this letter in her hair. She then moved toward Mecca. Prophet knew all about this. He didn't want to do any drastic actions so that people would believe what is right and what is wrong. Prophet told two of his companions to go and search for such a letter from that lady. They came and asked her for the letter. She denied and she rejected it. They came down, they searched her, they searched the camel but they didn't find anything. Prophet said, that prophet does not lie. There must be a letter. Prophet said, just for a mere threat, give me a letter or I will hate you. She was scared and she gave away the letter. Did they execute or hang the lady? Let the whole world know about this. Did they put her in prison? Did they torture her? No. The whole world know about this story. The one who is satellite, the one who is wealthy, must advertise this story to the whole world. The one who is a lecturer must let the whole world know about this, must inform the world about this. Prophet took the letter and gave it to Prophet. Prophet told Hattab ibn Abi Bauteh that this is your letter and he confessed to reality. He asked, why did you write such a letter? Consider the whole history, except the history regarding prophets. Would you find such an example, such a divine procedure implemented by Prophet Muhammad? That's the story might change the world if it's told in a wide way. Prophet told him, why did you write such a letter? He said, I was afraid. I thought that hypocrites might be predominating so that I would get close to them. So that they would not torture me or tease me. Prophet did not put him in prison, did not torture him, nor did he execute him. These are the bright points of Islam. We have to let the whole world know about this. Or the story regarding Ali alayhi salam. Or about the Sufain and the companions of Ma'viya. Ali alayhi salam said to his companions, attack, take water, take Farrad river. They attacked and they took the river. Some of the companions came and said, you should not let the companions of Ma'viya to let them use water. Ali alayhi salam knew all about this. Ma'viya and Emros were all scared. Ma'viya said, I knew Ali. We should not let the whole world know and inform the world about this issue. Amir al-Muminin could have deprived them from water. But this is not a good deed. This is a real bad deed. Ali alayhi salam had the right to deprive them from water, but he did not. When someone invades, you can retaliate, but you have the right, but it means you are obliged to. The Islamic leader should act in a way regarding enemies and friends. For example, if you get to be an Islamic ruler and such a thing happened, you must not retaliate. For this could be an obstacle for some people's guidance, people of Safin. He saw what Ali alayhi salam treated them. Amir al-Muminin could have taken the opportunity and could have deprived them from water. If you let the world know about this story and if you tell the story in a correct way, you can lead many people to the right path. You can let the Jews convert to Islam. You might have read about this. In the day of Ashura, Shem may God curse upon him, shouted and swore that prophet at Imam Hussein. He said some nasty words to Imam Hussein. One of Imam Hussein's companions came and said, I can kill him right now. Shem was an infidel. He used to swear at Imam Hussein. He could have martyred and he did, but Imam Hussein said. And this is something by which we can change the whole world. They came to kill and martyred Imam Hussein, but Imam Hussein said, I would not start the war. While millions of people could have been guided by us since we are now able to lead them. God would blame us that why we have not told them. Of course, yes, this might be a tough task for informing people. Prophets also had plenty of problems preaching Islam. Go and search the traditions regarding prophet. But what they were killed because of these difficulties? Bani Umid and Bani Abbas thought that it would be prophets and Ahlul Bayt were nothing but a barrier in front of their power. The story of khabbab. Khabbab used to be a great companion of prophet. I recommend all Muslim girls and boys to read about these stories. Khabbab was among those who believed first in Islam and prophet. Hippocrates used to torture him much. He was among those who believed in Islam after Imam Ali. After 6 or 7 people were among those who initially believed in Islam. Khabbab used to be loyal to prophet and Imam Ali. He helped assisted Imam Ali in some of his wars. Imam Ali was a kufa. Khabbab passed away. Imam Ali prayed for him and he was among the first ones who buried him in Wad-e-Salam. This khabbab was tortured by Hippocrates in payfull ways. They used to make him naked and put a burning log on his back. They have tortured him repeatedly and there were marks on his back up to his last breath. They wanted him to confess that he was not a Muslim and deny the legitimacy of prophet. We have to, if something happens to us, but nothing happens like today's world. There might be people like Saddam who used to torture people. There were plenty of difficulties for prophets. They were under plenty of hardships and tortures. That's why many of prophets and Ahlul Leeds were martyred not just merely passed away. Why Fatimah Zahra was martyred? Why was Imam Ali martyred? We must try not to be regretful in hereafter. We should act, we should teach so that we might not be believing in hereafter. Why we haven't taught? Why we haven't let the whole world know? Why we haven't been patient? Ramadan is the spring of Qo'an. It's for all people, for everywhere. I'm not here to say what time are we allowed to do Taghiyah. Sheikh Ansari has written a book about this. In some cases Taghiyah is haram, in some cases it is an obligatory issue. In some cases it is a recommendation, in some cases it is haram. Qo'an differentiates between what is right and what is wrong. And Qo'an has stated all ways to contemplate. I hope this holy month will be blessed for all people, Muslims and non-Muslims. May God hasten the advent of Imam Mahdi. May God hasten Imam Mahdi's advent. And I hope that he gives us the opportunity to know about our duties and acting upon them. Even if it's filled with hardships. I pray for you all in Ramadan and pray for me as well. We're all in need of prayers by God the less Muhammad and his descendants.
