0:00
This Malaharamangahim Islamo Ali Como Rahman Tollahi Rakat.
0:03
So welcome back to the Aftermath podcast and a massive, massive
0:06
congratulations to you all on the auspicious occasion of Adel
0:11
Ghadir. Aid Mubarak to all, of course,
0:13
this is a day where we reaffirm. Our identity as she has, we
0:17
celebrate the fact that we believe in the willaya of
0:20
Asadullah Galib, Galib Kula Galib, Maulana Ali.
0:24
You know, I be a father of Salah Mohammed, Wali Mohammed.
0:27
And today, brother sisters as always, I'm with the one and
0:34
only. The one who is named after the
0:36
first and he's the first to join me today.
0:55
I'm good. Now that we're remembering him,
0:59
I'm even better this. Is our comfort zone.
1:02
Yes, yes, yes. What we do?
1:04
Indeed, indeed. As well.
1:05
I want to reiterate what you said.
1:06
Congratulations to all the believing menina and women out
1:10
around the world, especially our followers and listeners who know
1:13
that we are a Shia Muslim podcast.
1:15
This is a big day for everyone. And Nisha Allah is a day where
1:19
you know, it's known as idol la al Ekbar, God's greatest aid.
1:23
And you know the elevate have told us, you know there's four
1:27
AIDS and the eyes of Allah and that's aidel gadir Aidel Fattar
1:30
Idel of her and every Friday. But why idel Gadir.
1:34
Because our holy Imam says aid Allah, al Akbar is idal so yani.
1:38
There is so much emphasis and importance just by calling it
1:41
the great side. And that we know that Idal is
1:44
the completion of the fasting. Idal Adha is of course the
1:48
completion of Hajj. Idal Hadir is the completion of
1:51
the entirety of Islam. And this is the day, of course,
1:55
and of course we know that on this auspicious day, on this
1:58
special occasion. Our last panel to Allah tells
2:01
the Holy Prophet to deliver the message and we know a certain
2:04
matter. That's number 55.
2:06
Yeah, you have a soul. And when he says that, he's
2:09
talking, saying, yeah, you are soul are, you are the Messenger,
2:11
you are the soul. Your responsibility is to
2:14
deliver. And if you do not deliver it,
2:17
then we know that the religion has not become complete.
2:20
And the Willia of Amira Monmin is the completion of Islam.
2:24
It's so important for us to remember this and those who do
2:26
not. Accept this.
2:29
We pray in Charlotte that they they have the honor and they're
2:32
granted the blessing of celebrating either Khadir.
2:34
And Sharla, Sharla, and I think a lot of people probably
2:37
listening who may not even be Muslim learn or Shia Muslim.
2:41
They might be thinking of what is idle a deal.
2:44
Ahmed, what's that like? A brief summary to summarize.
2:47
So say, do you ask me for an explanation?
2:49
I will explain to you, but first I want to show you something
2:51
that we got sent. You know what you came to Amar
2:53
Abdul he system or Ahmad. There's a verse in your Quran.
2:59
Listen to this Jew. Hold on, man, he says to Amar
3:02
Abdul Khotab. He says to Amar.
3:04
There's a verse in your Quran. If it was revealed to us, we
3:09
would have made its day of revelation.
3:11
I I remember hearing this story automatically.
3:17
I started thinking, which verse? Which?
3:19
Which not Amar Abdul Khotab right now.
3:23
Sam Arnohottab didn't give him a chance to breathe his system.
3:27
Oju, I know which verse you speak of.
3:31
You say you would have made its day of revelation.
3:34
I tell you, it's day of revelation.
3:36
It's too raids for us. It was revealed on the day of
3:42
Jumah, which is a raid, and it was revealed on the one and only
3:47
Hajjav. Muhammad's on the Laho Hassan,
3:49
which is another raid for us. It says the verse you speak of
3:53
is Alyomma atmatu lakumdinokum or Atmamto alaikum niramati what
3:58
Adito lakum Islam Medina that today your religion has been
4:02
perfected, it's been completed and I have bestowed my my mercy
4:07
upon you and my favors upon you. And I have chosen Islam as my
4:11
way and my religion. So why is this verse so
4:14
important? Because when a Los panotayala
4:17
makes such a statement. He's saying that your religion
4:21
has been perfected whether you live in stone ages, whether you
4:26
live in the rocket ages. No matter what ages you live in
4:29
your answer, your solution to whatever harm, to whatever,
4:34
whatever mishap. Whatever difficulty comes your
4:37
way, your answer, your solution is the deal of Allah and the son
4:42
of Muhammad's of Allah. Got our answer along with Allah
4:46
Muhammad. What's interesting is he's
4:48
saying that the completion of the Hajj is the day of aid.
4:51
But what happened when the Sulah Muhammad Salah Ali while of
4:54
Salem completed Haj, his last Hajj the year before he passed
4:57
away? Something that I I found very
4:59
interesting from this is that #100.
5:02
I did call it 2 great Aids. You know, that's all true.
5:06
And being a Friday, we know Friday is a day of eight for us
5:09
in the School of the he did. Reference the deal.
5:11
This is my poor point to you. Like he rang a Jewish man and he
5:14
bring a reference to to Amar Abdel Khata and he never
5:18
mentioned a single word about what happens on the planes of
5:22
idol of your home. So he's. 50% there.
5:25
It's like he didn't finish. Oh, he's 100% there, but I think
5:28
he's like sending some misinformation.
5:30
Yeah, yeah. I mean, what's what's
5:32
interesting is for those who don't know either, the ghadir
5:36
happened the the year before the Holy Pro Mohammed passed away
5:40
and it happened on the way back from his last Hajj, a place
5:45
called Ghadir. Com.
5:46
Yeah, Com. And it's interesting to note
5:49
that at this place we know that the I hadith mentioned that the
5:53
Sulala Mohammed Salah Ali Hiwali was Salem had over 100,000
5:57
companions with him. And he stopped at a place where
6:00
there was an elevated opportunity, an elevated slope,
6:03
and an opportunity to profess something of importance to a
6:06
peep to his people, his companions, at a place and a
6:09
time which is very important. What could that thing be?
6:12
Since known, of course, that there were palm leaves which
6:14
were used to elevate the profit even more.
6:17
He went on to the to the to the the member, and he started his
6:21
hot bar, and he called up Amiramot Manin and he said.
6:25
As part of it and Kunta Mola for harden Ali Mola and of course
6:30
there's dispute as to what the word mola means.
6:32
But of course from what we believe and and the school of
6:35
the Ali beta and Muslim says for whoever I am their master Ali is
6:39
their master that that is passing on.
6:43
It's a handing over to a minimal mini to say that you are now my
6:47
success and my Willy. And and you know what's
6:50
interesting about the Muslim world when it comes to ideal?
6:53
I mean, Hamdulla? Those who follow the path of the
6:56
Helen Bates already know in their hearts what the great, you
6:59
know, what surrounds the events of your home and why we play so
7:05
much importance to it, that there's many Muslims out there
7:07
who have no idea, or shall I say, you know, I think those of
7:13
knowledge. From other schools of thought,
7:15
they already know the importance of the deal.
7:17
But I think they failed to share it with the masses.
7:19
They failed to share it with the congregation, They failed to
7:22
share it with the Muslim. Because I think it's sort of,
7:26
you know, it sort of exposes the truths, you know, and and I
7:31
think it's very important that we sort of like give a brief
7:36
summary of how this revelation came down.
7:40
You know, you mentioned a bit earlier.
7:43
Brussel Allah Muhammad Salah Hawali.
7:44
Hawali was Salem, you know, in the year 10 after he went to do
7:50
his Hajj. Yes.
7:51
And that was the the, the, the only year that Hajj became, you
7:56
know, a compulsion on the Muslims.
7:58
So you you need to understand that at the same time it was
8:01
known that Rasul Allah so knew was his final days.
8:04
So Jubra came down, We have Angel Gabriel.
8:07
Gabriel came down to Rasul Allah and ordered Muhammad to inform
8:11
the Muslims. To go on the pilgrimage towards
8:14
Hajj, So Rasola you know called out to all the Muslims, he
8:17
called out to all his companions and I think I read in a
8:19
narration there was 10s of thousands you know agreed to
8:24
join Rasola Allah on the pilgrimage and.
8:28
This was his only pilgrimage and I think it's very important that
8:31
we mention this. This is only a pilgrimage and
8:32
it's also known as. Hajj in the way we know it to
8:34
be, yeah. Yes, and it's only a pilgrimage
8:36
that's known as the Falwell hatch.
8:37
Yes, the reason why we call it the Falwell hatch, not only
8:40
being it's the only hatch that also La La took, but it was the
8:43
Hajj where he knew that his days were coming closer, where he
8:47
will return to his Lord. And so he called on all the
8:50
Muslims, those who you know are physically able, those who are
8:53
financially able to join him. Hamdula, 10s of thousands.
8:56
I need to say there's 100 times 10s of thousands of Muslims.
9:00
When was one a lot to Hajj, Now they got to Mecca, Haj ended.
9:06
They're returning back to where Medina.
9:08
So there is a point, I'm not sure the distance wise, but you
9:12
know between Mecca and Medina, bro, it's like many, many
9:16
kilometers. So there was a point where I was
9:20
walking with everyone going back towards Medina.
9:24
You got a revelation that saying, you know, Jabrai is
9:27
telling him there is a verse that you need to you know do it
9:32
now. Yeah if I'm not mistaken like
9:35
Rasul I lost another while you're selling was like it was
9:37
like a conversation that I read was on Islam the org a few a few
9:41
weeks ago where. Grasso Lola actually like
9:44
question what like now I've got like thousands of people with me
9:47
like right now after at this place you right said yes and the
9:51
verse came down and the and the verse was which you mentioned
9:53
earlier. Smilar ahmada rahima soramada
9:56
yay rasool Bel lehmanso la came a rubbic when lamtef Alfa ma
10:03
belehto rest. And if you do not, then you have
10:10
not revealed his message. So Rasola, you know, decided
10:13
let's find a place to deliver this message.
10:17
You know, you've got 10s of thousands of people.
10:19
And the crazy thing about this is not like all the 10s of
10:22
thousands of Muslims are with him at this point.
10:24
So they say Rasola actually camped at the Oasis of Ghadir
10:28
home for three days, Ahmed for three days because he wanted to
10:32
ensure every Muslim is present when it comes to this and.
10:37
You have to sort of understand the circumstances of which this
10:42
appointment, by God of Ali Abdel, that I live was made, was
10:46
that I was gonna deliver the sermon.
10:48
What's What's the verse number for this?
10:50
For this? I don't have the verse number
10:51
from sort of the MA there, right, sorry.
10:53
So the somewhere verse 50 something.
10:55
Right. So The thing is, it's important
10:57
for us to remember as well that the argument that's used on the
11:00
opposing side is that 1A Last Final to Allah says.
11:04
Revealed what has been given to you and if you do not then it's
11:06
not been revealed or whatever. Now a lot of Sunni historians
11:12
and scholars, Ibn Tamia, Fakhrizi, a lot of these guys
11:16
say that the revelation is Islam.
11:20
So it's a bit of a cyclical argument and it doesn't really
11:23
make much sense because it means that all prophet I've told you
11:28
to reveal Islam if you don't. Put it forward, then.
11:31
You've not revealed Islam or Islam has not been.
11:33
It's kind of like I've. I've told you to do A.
11:36
If you've not done A, then you haven't done A.
11:38
Yeah. Do you see what I mean?
11:40
For us that makes no sense. That what's with the greatest
11:43
respect, What is the point of the IR, if that's what it means?
11:46
So for us, the way we understand it out of us here is that if you
11:50
do not do A, then B happens because you've not done A.
11:54
Do you see what I mean? And the B in this formula in
11:57
this equation is? Professing and proclaiming that
12:01
Amir Motmanin is the rightful successor, but the rejection of
12:05
that concept by billions of Muslims around the world, or
12:09
even, let's let's just be honest, institutionally the the
12:14
Adel, Sunova, Jamara, the rejection of that tafsir has
12:19
changed the fortunes and the fate of billions of Muslims
12:22
around the world. Because then will I becomes
12:24
inaccessible to them because of verse which in my opinion.
12:28
Like you've said, said which, which seals and completes the
12:31
profits mission is then rejected.
12:34
So the mission is left a bit wide open.
12:36
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
12:38
It doesn't feel like there was a conclusion to the holy prophets
12:40
23 years as a public profit, as a public resort.
12:44
I don't know if I'm being unfair or injust.
12:46
But I understand the point because you know, the way the
12:48
verse was revealed, it wasn't like back-to-back.
12:50
Yeah, so when that verse came down, you know, almost Messenger
12:54
of Allah reveal you know what's come down to you when you stops.
12:57
One, and the circumstance, I'm just going to go back to it, The
13:00
circumstances were there were 10s of thousands of Muslims.
13:03
They came for three days waiting for every Muslim to be present
13:06
during the sermon, Okay. And then you've got the
13:08
scorching heats and you have to sort of understand why would the
13:11
Russell Allah stop everyone for no reason just to say Ali's Mola
13:16
apart from that Russell Allah went on to give him give on his
13:19
sermon and they say the sermon went on for an hour.
13:22
You know at the start he would, you know, praise the loss of
13:24
Hana watahala. Remind everyone of a loss of
13:26
Hana Watahala. Towards the end is is is when he
13:30
reveals the verse that continues Sora tell Mai the way he says
13:34
alyomakmel to lakum Dina com what's went to alaykum namity or
13:39
abay to lakum and islamma Dina. You know today I have completed
13:43
your religion for you and I have perfected my favor on you.
13:46
And I am satisfied with Islam as a religion for you.
13:49
But what was it that also Lala just said prior to that before
13:53
that verse before he revealed that verse was Mankunsu Maula
13:57
Fahada Alion Maula Allahu Mawali Manwala Wadi Manhada.
14:03
And you know bro it goes on like you have to study radhir home.
14:07
And the sermon Rasulala gave to understand why we say Imam Ali
14:11
Ali Assalam was appointed directly by a loss of Hanawata
14:13
Allah And it goes on further. I don't want to go to too much
14:16
detail but it goes on further where they came to the camp of
14:18
Rasulala to congratulate him. On what?
14:21
On the completion of Islam. Sorry, correct.
14:24
But what the Rasul law used to say after they come to
14:26
congratulate him, you also go to the center of Ali.
14:28
You also go to the camp of Imam Ali and congratulate to him.
14:32
And we have narrations not just in our books but many famous
14:36
Sunni books where. Then Hot Bob go see Mama Ali
14:39
takes his hand, shakes his hands, and says Beck and Beck.
14:42
And like a Ali, you are my Mola and the Mola of all the Muslim
14:46
Muslims. And that's follows on to them
14:50
the dispute. Well, what did he mean by
14:52
mother? Because you conic.
14:53
Because there's no way to reject the fact that almost said that.
14:56
So. So OK, he said it, but he didn't
14:57
mean it like that in it. That's if it's.
15:05
Yeah, or even why would you congratulate someone if if
15:09
someone's received an order of some sort in the immediate term,
15:12
the first thing you do is congratulate them.
15:14
For example. So if if if the Holy Prophet
15:17
announced something which everyone knew already stopped
15:21
100,000 plus or minus people at a time inconvenient at a point
15:25
where they were tired in his time, where his days are
15:28
numbered on this earth. To tell them something they
15:30
already knew, and then people are congratulating them for that
15:32
something they already knew. It doesn't make sense.
15:34
Well, just that when he goes on further to say Allah mawali
15:36
Manwala, yeah, and. You know that verse?
15:40
Sorry, say that I know I asked you earlier 567 So to my the
15:43
first verse 67 the rest of the verse, Allah says OH Messenger
15:47
announced that which has been revealed to you from your Lord.
15:49
If you do not, then you've not conveyed his message and Allah
15:51
will protect you from the people.
15:53
Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
15:56
What does this mean? Allah is reminding the Holy
15:59
Prophet. I know you're worried about
16:00
something. Don't worry, I'll protect you
16:02
from the people and Allah does not guide the disbelievers.
16:07
It's clear as day that the Holy Prophet had something on his
16:10
chest on his mind and that Allah saying don't worry, I've got
16:14
you, I'll protect you and those who who are disbelievers in what
16:18
I'm revealing to you. I will not guide them.
16:21
There's clear as day when you think that you have to take a
16:24
moment to reflect, to take a pause and think.
16:27
What have I learned throughout my life?
16:29
If I am a Sunni is this, does it make sense to me?
16:32
Because this is a verse in how you got on.
16:34
It's as important as every other verse in that got on.
16:36
And if I am a Shia, do I know about this verse and am I taking
16:39
it seriously? How important is the will I've
16:42
been on? What meaning to me?
16:43
Am I living my day-to-day life like I am following?
16:47
I mean what meaning? My actions, My luck, the way I
16:52
pray? The way I interact with people
16:54
and my acting as though this will be my last day on earth
16:58
because we know from hadith and say your favorite hadith about
17:02
how you how you live in the present.
17:04
And it's very important that that we reflect on these things
17:07
because at the end of the day when I is not a joke it's not a
17:12
joke like if you follow me I'm not meaning doesn't mean job
17:16
done, it means that the responsibility on you is even
17:19
greater. Because you're one of the chosen
17:21
ones. You've accepted something heavy
17:25
and something with great status. Once you have that
17:28
responsibility, it's on you to carry out.
17:31
You follow the will out of a middleman.
17:34
Are you going to take that badge with honor and carry it forward
17:38
in your life and say I am the follower of Ali and you will see
17:41
it through my actions before I tell you?
17:44
Or are you going to say now I'm good, I've got Willaya, I'm
17:48
guaranteed heaven. Nothing else to worry about.
17:51
At the end of the day, if we don't take it seriously, then
17:53
that's on us. You know, there's a yeah.
17:56
No, it's true. And you know, many people say,
17:59
for example, you know that here has no significance or they say
18:03
it has no, you know, no, no value.
18:06
The way we see it, the way we, let's say the followers of Lil
18:09
Bates see it, that's in fact, you know, earlier on you played
18:13
that clip by a Sony speaker. And This is why I said like he
18:18
he just skipped out and left out of the deal home completely from
18:21
the averse. And there's a reason behind it,
18:23
you know, let's look at it. Let's think of this from this
18:26
angle. If they were to accept Mola
18:30
means like welly guardian leader and not friend, what happens to
18:34
1-2 and three? I'll be very honest, because the
18:38
moment you want to come out and accept Mola means Ali is the
18:42
successor. That means everything that
18:44
happens at 11 during the caliphs of 1-2 and three is all wrong.
18:48
Yeah, the whole and anything. That happens after.
18:50
Yeah, so you have to understand that they cannot publicly.
18:55
They cannot say mola means leader.
18:58
They cannot say mola means successor.
19:00
They cannot say mola means welly guardian.
19:02
You know, the rightful Caliph appointed by God.
19:05
And you see, this one had even thought the lane, bro.
19:08
You know Halifa, Thaka Lane, Kitaba, Lahua, Atati, Halibeti.
19:11
They know it, bro, it says in the Tara Klakum A Thaka Lane,
19:26
Kitaba, Lahua, Atati, Halibeti, Ena.
19:36
There's more than a friend. Even the I am my name is Salaam.
19:38
Later on in the lineage of the Imams, even the later Imams said
19:43
that when when the word sunna is used, it refers to us.
19:46
Yes, and this is important to for us to remember as well.
19:49
The other thing as well is what you said about everything that
19:54
happened prior to Ghadir, or sorry, everything that happened
19:56
after Ghadir becomes the course of history change 1-2 and three.
19:59
Yeah, even before the 4th Caliph.
20:01
So even if we're talking about prior to Emily become the
20:03
Khalifa for the four years he he was.
20:06
Even post. So even if you're talking about
20:09
Okay, well, Ali finally got his Khalafa.
20:11
What's going to happen afterwards?
20:13
Because then everything comes into question.
20:14
And Mamad Hassan adds the treaty with Maria Maria passing on to
20:18
Yazid, Yazid and Karbala Karbala and charm like it's becomes a a.
20:23
Series in the Chamo Effect that yeah, yeah, they actually, I'll
20:27
say as it is, reveal the truth or the truth prevails.
20:30
Yeah, because you know you can hide as much as you want best.
20:33
Ultimately, I think it's upon us as individuals, as Muslims to,
20:37
you know, take it more than just listening to a preacher or a
20:40
scholar or speaker of what they are saying.
20:42
We need to ourselves, take upon ourselves to go find the truth.
20:47
And the truth is with the Ali bro That's all I love famously
20:50
says Ali Omar hak what hak Omar Ali.
20:53
Wherever the truth is, you find Ali.
20:55
It is so clear, it's clear as day you.
20:58
I'm not going to say you're ignorant if you don't believe.
21:00
Than this you have to be stupid, Stupid, because it's clear as
21:04
day, at least with the truth. Why don't?
21:06
Say it. I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
21:07
Go on, go on, go on. Because.
21:08
I can tell it's getting to you. It is because they're lying to
21:11
the Muslims. I I get that.
21:12
Yeah. But look, I'm just gonna ask you
21:14
gone. There might be people who are
21:16
listening, who have good intentions and who have got a
21:19
good heart, who are not sure. Yeah.
21:24
They're listening to what you're saying.
21:25
Maybe they disagree with you, maybe they agree with you, but
21:28
it's hard to accept. What do you have to say to those
21:31
people who are like listening? They're exploring, they're
21:34
learning, they're searching for truth, They've stumbled across
21:37
Aftermath of the podcast, he said.
21:38
Ali Rothery in minute 20, or whatever it is, talk about this,
21:41
what do you have to say to them? To anyone out there, and not
21:45
just someone who's not sharing, someone not Muslim, Christian,
21:48
Jew, atheist, whoever's come across this podcast and you've
21:51
heard me and Ahma talk about the Willaya of Ami Ali.
21:55
And maybe, as you say, they find it difficult to accept.
21:59
They find it difficult to believe any of this.
22:02
Just open your heart. I promise you.
22:04
All I can say I can guarantee you.
22:06
If you open your heart fully to a loss of Panamata Allah and you
22:10
tell you God, you know, you know God, you guide me to the right
22:15
part. And if we're praying, if all
22:16
Muslim are praying five times a day.
22:17
We're saying this daily. We're saying this daily.
22:19
Do we really mean it? Do we really want to be on the
22:21
path of of of of of truth I need.
22:26
And a lot of people come and say, for example, you know, why
22:28
do you always talk about historical moments, historical
22:31
events? Why do you open up the books of
22:33
history only causes, you know, issues between Sunni and Sherry
22:36
Bro. It doesn't.
22:37
It shows you happen bottom and we want to be on that path.
22:39
That's true, bro. Ultimately, we don't want
22:42
anything else apart from the truth as Muslims.
22:46
As Muslims, we want this. We don't want anything less.
22:49
And it's only, you know, through the teachings of the Helen Beit
22:54
Ali on the Salam. What a solar law says, I leave
22:56
behind with you the Quran and their little Bates because you
22:59
can go similar to that video you played earlier.
23:03
You can have Tom, Dick and Harry changing the interpretation of
23:06
the verse to mean something completely different, whereas
23:08
you can go to the to the Fucker lane and they'll show you
23:11
exactly what that verse means. What is?
23:13
What is? What is life without?
23:16
What is life? What can we not came from a meal
23:20
like? Is there anything which?
23:23
We're void of or we haven't gained from him.
23:28
I don't think so. I mean like you think about Imam
23:30
Alia Leyslam in every element and every aspect of your
23:34
daytoday life. The teachings of Amir Maminin,
23:37
which of course he learned from the Holy Prophet Muhammad, is
23:41
part and parcel of how we live our lives, our Akhlaq, with our
23:46
family, our friends, our parents, our colleagues.
23:49
The way we treat our spouses, how we engage with our enemies
23:53
and those who are showing aggression towards us.
23:55
How we worship Allah, How we praise Allah.
23:58
The etiquettes and Akhlaq of talking to God.
24:01
These come from Imam Ali and we they come from the Azul Beta
24:05
name of Saddam. But specifically in many cases
24:08
through the teachings of Imam Ali.
24:10
We have so many hadith on Middlemomanin and they are
24:13
there, they are there to be a beacon of guidance for us.
24:17
I challenge anyone who's listening, anyone who questions
24:24
whether a middleman comes above others.
24:26
It's nice he's just another companion, or he's just another
24:30
caliph, or he's one of the Caliphs.
24:33
I beg you, just open up Nacho Balaga.
24:37
Go through the sermons, the letters and the hadith that you
24:40
find in Nacho Balaga if you spend half an hour studying it.
24:44
Will change your impression of Islam start to finish.
24:48
Like it doesn't even have to be an indepth analysis.
24:50
Don't have to read any essays, just spend half an hour with a
24:53
book. Read through it.
24:55
Think about how I mean on what we need addresses Mawi and his
24:57
letters. Talk about.
24:58
Think about how my mom Ali talks about science and the animals in
25:02
the sea. And how he describes the animals
25:04
that you find on the on the mainland and the sea.
25:06
We talk about how our mom Ali talks about God and gender, time
25:09
and space. Everything you can imagine is
25:12
addressed by Ali and anything that we, any question we have,
25:15
we find with Ali. So answers comes from Ali,
25:19
questions go to Ali and if we don't have one of them, says
25:23
Saluni. Saluni, he's not just talking to
25:25
the guys there sitting around him, he's talking to us now and
25:29
we we we're here and we're listening to him say that to us
25:33
and we he's basically challenging us, saying if you've
25:35
got something come to me, I'll show you where to go, do you
25:37
know what I mean? And anyone who says anything
25:39
other than this. Is wrong, unfortunately.
25:42
And I know they'll turn around and they'll they'll look at the
25:44
podcast and be like you shall always do a shark.
25:47
You're always talking about your moms and then like their moms
25:49
can hear you and your moms will listen to you and just they
25:52
will. Yes, they do.
25:54
We believe in it. We believe that the Holy Prophet
25:57
Allah has given eternal life to the souls of the Allen Beta name
26:00
Islam, including the Holy Prophet and all the it's.
26:03
True, it's true. And you know some some things,
26:06
some some things that we can learn from the life.
26:10
Of Imam Ali Abnemuttalib Ali has Salaam is I think even outside
26:15
of his caliphate. Of the four years is that even
26:19
during the the caliphates of 1-2 and three, he was ultimately
26:23
that the person that they referred, they have to go back
26:25
to, you know whenever there was like an issue that comes between
26:29
justice and injustice, what do they say?
26:32
Don't ask me, go seek the justice of Ali.
26:34
Yeah. So there is so much examples and
26:38
I'm not nothing I can give one. Is that during the time of
26:43
Offman, third Caliph, There was a time when there was a problem
26:50
in the treasury of the Muslim finances, the Muslim, the money
26:53
of the Muslims, where it was being mishandled.
26:57
And the people actually came towards Offman trying to tell
27:01
him, you know what you're doing is wrong, seek repentance,
27:04
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. What did he do?
27:07
He went to Mamali. He said I'm in this situation.
27:10
You know I'm facing this. I'm facing not.
27:12
He's not saying I'm facing accusations.
27:14
I've done XY&Z and I've been told to repent publicly, by the
27:17
way, publicly. What do I do?
27:19
And your mom said go repent publicly and stop doing what
27:21
you're doing. And that's exactly what Othman
27:23
want to do. And and people start liking
27:25
Othman all over again. The point I'm trying to say is
27:27
that I Mama Ali, even though you know he was his kind of it was
27:31
stolen enough and I'll say it's out there straight and there.
27:34
He didn't have an issue with them in terms of, for example,
27:36
I'm gonna beef you or I'm gonna demolish you or I'm gonna take
27:40
you off the throne that you. Say he definitely was.
27:42
He had frustration and he had anger.
27:44
No, no, no he didn't. Puppy, I know you're gonna.
27:46
He had the. Patience, patience.
27:48
Right through it, yes, he said. I'll be patient until my
27:51
patients. Tired of my patients?
27:53
Yeah. Yeah.
27:53
And he says it's like I have a thorn in my eye and a bone in my
27:56
throat for the last 30 years. But but the point I'm trying to
27:59
say here is that even like during these times where
28:03
although he was he was the Imam of the Muslims, he was the Emir
28:06
al Muminen, people were still coming to him and those who
28:10
claim to be Emir al muminen were coming to Emir al Muminen to
28:13
seek help and guidance And and we have the famous saying by
28:16
Hammer, Abdel Khatlab, Lola Ali la Heleka.
28:19
Omar, you know, if it wasn't for Ali, I mean Ali, I would have
28:23
perished. This is Omar Abdul Hatap saying
28:25
I would have perished during his caliphate, during his rule.
28:29
And the beautiful thing about when Imam Ali came to power,
28:32
when he, Ali, you know, went on to become chosen as the 4th
28:37
rightly guided Caliph, is that he had to deal with the treasury
28:41
and the mess left by his predecessors and the biggest one
28:45
being of man where. You know, history.
28:49
Just open up and you'll see. I came across this the other day
28:51
as well, that when they went to the House of Afman, what did
28:55
they find? You want to take a guess?
28:59
Gold. They found gold coins and silver
29:02
coins and the money of the Muslim Uma and it turned out to
29:07
be that it wasn't just in his house you were sharing with
29:10
Benny Omaya. So there was so much going on
29:13
that when Imam Ali came into power, he had to correct all the
29:17
wrong. That was done before him.
29:19
What do they find saying is that in the four years of a
29:21
middleman, Menins Khalafa, poverty was eradicated.
29:25
Erratic Not a single person. Ahmed slept hungry during his.
29:28
Rule and who was head of treasury under middleman Menin
29:31
Mohammed Hassan and his Salaam was put in charge of finance.
29:35
You just think about it. This is, you know, those who say
29:38
you can't mix politics and religion.
29:39
That's the whole conversation for another podcast.
29:41
But. In my opinion, Islam is
29:43
political in its nature and politics can be Islamic in its
29:46
governance, in the way you run a government.
29:49
And the perfect example of it is when you see the way the Holy
29:51
Prophet led his government and the way middle of many led his
29:54
government and how they carried out political acts.
29:58
You know, and we've had this discussion in the past.
30:00
I'm not going to. Get into it.
30:02
It's a politician or not. And I say he was a politician.
30:05
I say he's the best politician, example of a politician.
30:08
None. Nonetheless.
30:09
We don't against that. But what I will say is this.
30:11
That he he corrected the wrongs of the past and he laid the
30:15
foundations for what should have been, you know, a blissful
30:18
future. Unfortunately didn't happen.
30:20
You know it was. It was.
30:22
It's frustrating. And you know, speaking about the
30:24
treasury, I just remember the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
30:27
story about Imam Ali. Ali has Salaam is when a person
30:32
came to Mola and he was like, you know, Mola, I want to ask
30:36
you a question. And he's in the treasury.
30:39
And then so monarchs. And you know, is your question
30:42
relating for the Muslim Omar, is that an Islamic question or is
30:47
that a private question? And the person told the Imam Ali
30:51
of namebitalib, it's a private matter.
30:54
Imam Ali blew out the candle flame is on.
30:57
He turns off. The guy's confused.
30:59
You know. He likes another.
31:01
One, and you know what's going on now in my mind, he comes and
31:04
lights up another candle and turns on and he goes, why did
31:07
you switch candles? Why did you turn this one off
31:09
and turn another one on? He said when you came to me, I
31:12
was under the assumption that you want to talk about a matter
31:16
that you know relates to the Muslim, Muslim affairs.
31:18
For the moment. You told me it's a private
31:20
affair. I had to turn off that candle
31:22
because that candle was purchased from the money of the
31:25
Muslims, the Treasury. So it can only be used for these
31:27
certain matters. But the moment it's a private
31:29
matter. I had to use a candle that I
31:32
have purchased myself because it's a matter that involves me
31:36
and you are not the Muslim. It just goes to show you how
31:39
mindful and careful Imam Ali have named it.
31:42
Alib Alehi Avdola Salati was. Salaam was in every.
31:46
Aspect of his life and what sort of human being do you have to be
31:50
to be that conscious of? Of not usurping the rights of
31:55
another to the point where you won't even let a flame linger
31:58
for extra couple of minutes if that flame is not meant to be
32:02
lingered. For this reason, I just find
32:04
that mind boggling. And you know, we talk a lot on
32:08
this podcast about the rights and the wrongs of our daytoday
32:10
actions and how we can improve as Muslim mean and what manin we
32:14
think about how a Mama Ali was so careful even in that specific
32:18
example. I mean, who would have thought
32:21
that that small story, which probably the interaction took
32:23
two minutes with Devon for 1400 years, is one of probably
32:29
millions of examples in his life?
32:31
And if that was just an odd story that has lived on for so
32:35
long, how many others must there have been in his lifetime?
32:38
And we think about how everything he learned,
32:40
everything he knew, came from the hand and the mouth of the
32:45
Holy Prophet through his the Prophet's actions and words.
32:48
And everything that Imam Ali has gathered from him is purity and
32:52
is perfect and everything that Amir Ammanin continues to pass
32:55
on to his sons. And of course they, Imam Al
33:00
Hassan and Imam Hussein and Islam obviously to the Imams
33:02
after them as well to their children.
33:04
It just goes to show that we always talk about the Golden
33:08
Sealer, the chain of perfection, that why do we believe
33:12
everything? How do we know that?
33:14
There's there's evidence and something is Mutawatta and it's
33:20
if it's narrated by the Mama Jawad and Islam, it's because
33:23
there's an automatic chain of acceptance and credibility and
33:27
that leads back to the Holy Prophet directly through
33:29
lineage. And it's important for us to
33:30
remember that because if we don't accept it, we don't
33:32
remember, then everything collapses.
33:34
The chain, the beginning of the chain comes from the Holy
33:37
Prophet in the middle of what we need, you know, there's that
33:39
thing is that they say. Mom Ali and BB Fatima and Holy
33:46
Prophet was sitting together and they were having a discussion
33:49
and but they were joking around and they asked the Holy Prophet
33:52
who do you love more, me or Ali? You know Holy Prophet said says
33:57
I love Fatima more but Ali is dearest to me.
34:01
Or a beautiful response. I love Fatima more, but Ali is
34:04
dearest to me. You think was fun a lot like
34:08
you. Just.
34:09
It's just. A triangle of love and beauty.
34:13
I'm not just dearest, the closest one, you know, Imam Ali
34:18
Ibna Mitalia was like, raised by the Prophet.
34:22
He was raised by Prophet Muhammad.
34:24
And you know, throughout the entire lifetime of Russell Lala,
34:28
we say we see Imam Ali with him from the beginning until the
34:32
very end until the very, very, very end.
34:36
And you know throughout the whole time it was always like
34:38
the right hand of Rasul Allah even like during revelation,
34:42
Amir al Mumina's presence and all those revelations.
34:45
And I I I remember I came across a narration by Rasul Allah
34:50
Muhammad Salah Hawani Hawali was selling them before he died,
34:53
before he left this world. He was like I passed on my
34:57
secrets of 1000 chapters to Imam Alia Amir al Mumia alia Salam
35:03
and then when they asked Imam Ali.
35:05
You know what? What?
35:05
What are these thousand chapters of secrets?
35:08
He says. Each secrets of those 1000
35:10
chapters contained 1000 chapters.
35:13
Yeah, that's how much secrets of the world that Imam Ali had from
35:16
Brussels Ali was selling. And it just just goes to show
35:20
that it's not just, you know, an issue about leadership and who's
35:24
ruling and who's caliph and noble.
35:26
It's it's ultimately. Who's the one that takes you
35:29
back to Rossola La Salma Lama Ali?
35:30
Who said that? Who's the one that's going to
35:32
take you back to the true teachings, that pristine
35:35
teachings of Rasul Allah, Muhammad, Salma Ali?
35:39
Protected the interpretation. Yeah, I've mentioned this
35:41
before, but I just want to do it again.
35:42
I know I've done it on the previous podcast, Seven 192 of
35:45
NACHA Balava, probably my favorite sermon where mum Ali
35:48
talks about his relationship with the Holy Prophet.
35:51
He says by Allah, old people, you should know that their
35:53
esteemed. In because of our near
35:56
relationship with each other and in the high position, the
35:59
respect I enjoyed under his eyes, he found no lie in my
36:02
speaking, nor weakness in my act.
36:04
He would feed me with his own hands, and he'd bring me close
36:07
to his chest. He would let me sleep next to
36:10
him, where I would smell his own fragrance.
36:12
I used to follow him like the child of a she camel follows its
36:16
mother. When he used to go to Mount
36:18
Helen for seclusion, I was the only one who would go with him.
36:21
And when he used to hoist the manner of virtues and morals, I
36:24
would be the only one who's to follow it.
36:26
When the religion was only him and Khadija, I was the third of
36:30
the three with them. In the religion I used to smell
36:33
the fragrance of Nabola and I used to see the light of
36:36
revelation. I heard the moan of Chef Ban and
36:39
I said, Ya rasul La La, what is that moan?
36:41
And he replied to me. Chef Ban has today given up on
36:45
the day of Revelation. In anyone worshiping him, rather
36:49
they'll worship Allah. Oh Ali, you hear what I hear and
36:53
you see what I see, except that you are not a prophet, but you
36:56
are always on the path of virtue and righteousness.
36:59
So I love Hammed Wah Hamad Wali. Ali, Honestly.
37:09
And you know, for those who who listen and tune into the pop
37:13
stars, they probably know about this episode.
37:15
It was the kickstart of Season 2.
37:16
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where?
37:17
We where we titled the The Crew Allion as a form of worship.
37:22
I honestly advise everyone who has a listen to it or the first
37:25
time probably coming to the podcast go listen to that
37:27
podcast because honestly it was a podcast I really enjoyed.
37:30
Yeah, it's cool. Because it was literally in
37:33
remembrance of Imam Ali, Ali, Salaam and Miran.
37:36
And I think something, yeah. And I and I think something nice
37:40
to also mention is some of the titles.
37:43
Of you, Mama, Ali, Ali as Salam, and if I can say a few.
37:45
Miss Miller. So you Mama Ali Ali Salam was
37:49
known as a Sadiq. You know the other field history
37:52
took that title. But it was Rasul Allah who gave
37:54
him this. This title knows a Sadiq and
37:57
that's someone who can demonstrate the fact that Ali
38:01
was the first to believe in the Rasul Allah and the message of
38:05
Allah Sapana Howata Allah. Another another name, another
38:09
title he had was the Wasi. Which was the successor of the
38:11
Prophet Muhammad Salah Hawali Hawali was selling, which means
38:14
someone who's an entrusted trustee of Russo La La.
38:18
And another name famously known is also the Faro because he can
38:21
distinguish between rights and wrong.
38:24
And again history puts these titles towards other peoples.
38:27
And I'll mention two more that I like one of them being Emirate
38:31
Muhmenin because there is only one man in history.
38:34
Ahmed that the title Emir al Muhmanin suits.
38:40
No one else. And I say this.
38:41
Why? Because other people can be
38:45
claimed themselves as a Milan woman.
38:47
Forget history. Let's say today we have living a
38:49
Milan woman means today, believe it or not, in certain countries
38:52
and monarchies where everyone's a Milan Womanian.
38:54
But the beautiful thing about Ali Abna Abitalib is that if you
38:58
ever wanted to question is, was he the chief of believers?
39:02
You can't. You can't, because you can't
39:04
find no wrong and you can't find no fault.
39:06
And I say this, why? Because the Rasola laws, Ali
39:10
Hiwali was selling them. When we hear these are Hadifs
39:13
Ali Himal, Haq, Ali Himal Quran and all of this, this is Rasola
39:17
directly himself speaking about Imam Ali whereas the rest
39:22
whereas the rest is the circle around them and the hadifs about
39:26
those revert individuals is not coming by Rasola law.
39:30
There's a clear difference here Imam Ali's virtue and you know
39:34
his character and what he stands for and resembles.
39:38
That should be coming from Solala, from the mouth of
39:41
Rasola. And we know Rasola only speaks
39:44
from the way of Allah, whereas other minions, they made-up
39:50
their own virtue. Said.
39:51
I know before the podcast you said you're not gonna recite.
39:53
Please couple lines. You know what?
40:02
Being being idle, I'll recite something that's yes and.
40:07
And remembrance of Imam Ali Ali has Salaam must also a famous
40:11
one where all Muslims are like this.
40:14
So it's not just for the Shia. OK.
40:16
So inshallah you know those if they want to join, please feel
40:19
free to join Yeah yeah I was humming it in my head.
40:23
Salah Muhammad Ali Muhammad. Ali and
42:19
Wow. Say your voice, bless you
42:23
always. Well, bless you, you're very
42:25
kind. I think I really want to
42:27
translate this by if I have a minute or two, because I think
42:31
it's unfair for those who really do not understand why I just
42:35
recite it and the virginity in Aharonman Leben le Ali and what
42:39
Hussein has says truly in paradise.
42:42
Is the river of milk specifically for Ali and Hussain
42:46
and Hassan. Habbo, Alibeti, Farovan and Dana
42:51
will be hard and Habbula Naxal Mihan.
42:54
Love for the prophetic household is an obligation for us, and
42:59
with this love we fear no affliction.
43:01
Kullumen Khan and Muhabbin Lahom, yet Hulo Genna Minarei
43:06
Hassan. All those who were lovers of
43:10
them shall enter the garden of heaven without any grief.
43:14
And this is by the way like an A she's recited by mainly as
43:19
annoyed with Shia Muslims. So it shows that in Sharla there
43:24
is hope for those around the world who cling on to the path
43:28
of the eh ledbeta ane Hamas Salaam.
43:30
And this is 1 proof. There's a lot we can learn from
43:33
Sunni and Shia alike, and obviously we are.
43:35
I have to reiterate because obviously we as passionate as we
43:38
are about sheism. It's a passionate they are
43:40
about. It's got some slack, but at the
43:43
same time obviously we we don't have ever any intention of being
43:46
sectarian or or what's the one I'm looking for antagonistic.
43:51
As long as long as no ones and also be.
43:54
I will eat food with them on the table.
43:56
I will shake hands with them. I'll go out with them.
43:58
Whatever you want to do. I have no issue with you.
44:01
At the end of the day, you say Laila hello.
44:03
We also say Laila hello. Yeah, yeah.
44:06
I want to say I'll hamdul Allah Heledi JA allena say you the
44:13
Omola Ali Ali and. I read and it's only fair that
44:20
you recite something and I know I have nothing prepared.
44:23
No, no, no, no, no, no. You have.
44:25
Even if it's one line always of poetry, something has to come
44:29
from. Man, when you were reciting by
46:00

46:27
Just enjoy it. Breathe in that that, that
46:31
spirit of wilaya that we love. Think about it and and and just.
46:36
Drown in the love of a minimal minion, drown in it, get drunk
46:40
on it, do what you want, but make the most of it in Charlotte
46:43

46:45
Such a beautiful episode. And obviously we've gone on a
46:47
bit of a journey from, you know, like targeting towards those who
46:53
don't agree with us and talking about what would have happened
46:56
if a minimal minion was in charge.
46:57
And then talking about what a mom Ali means to us and how he
47:00
makes us feel by the end of the day.
47:01
It's nothing but love for a minimal minion.
47:04
He. He is everything for us.
47:07

47:10
