- 0:34Glorious said I did another way salaam alaikum.

- 0:50to find a new word to describe you.
- 0:52Lila? Just, just, I'd rather ways
- 0:54enough. How you doing?
- 0:55I'm good. I'm delighting.
- 0:57I'm the local complain. I love you.
- 0:58Quinn a week has been. All right.
- 1:00And I've been really looking forward to this weekend
- 1:03especially because it's either a deal.
- 1:05Mmm. So, I've been waiting to say my
- 1:07Salah Malik and with an amazing gr Eileen.
- 1:10Yeah, Ali, Yeah. Yeah, of course a name like Ali
- 1:16is a name to be proud of mmm. How does that make you feel?
- 1:19You know, when you reflect, of course, in this season of God
- 1:21are, how does it make you feel, you know, to your parents, to
- 1:26your community for having your name?
- 1:32I've like generally never for of it from that perspective best to
- 1:36be called The Alley after alley. Hmm.
- 1:39It's I'm very grateful because it's a name that one especially
- 1:43if your shh very proud of. So I wanna thank my mother.
- 1:48My father for giving me this amazing name and I just
- 1:51remembered, you know, saying from a blood who say no, he
- 1:54said, father thousand suns. I will name them all a lie
- 1:58mashallah. Yeah.
- 1:59And I named my son Ali for the Marshal.
- 2:01Because of that Heidi flush out. And you know, this is the season
- 2:05where we remember? I'm a little more minions, all
- 2:09of his qualities, all of his characteristics.
- 2:12Will I of a minimum minion is priceless and to be called a
- 2:18Shear of a minimal, minion is a badge of honor like no other my
- 2:23opinion on these and we are very proud and we love to call
- 2:27ourselves follows of Ali bin ABI Talib.
- 2:29So the water level someone who I lie.
- 2:31But to be worthy of being called a follower is a different matter
- 2:34as a we can only dream to be true.
- 2:36Shh, you know, the that I think to be she I have to be like
- 2:40Khmer and mother made them and it is a weekend, like, look up
- 2:44to them, and try to be like them.
- 2:46I think we will deserve this title, but I'm not saying you
- 2:50shouldn't call it Sasha, but what I'm trying to say is that I
- 2:53don't think we deserve this title and it's, yeah, that's a
- 2:57blessing. It is a blessing upon anything
- 3:00to be born into the Whether you're born into this Faith or
- 3:03whether you'll you've come across this Faith, it's an
- 3:06asset. We should be proud of as an
- 3:08asset. I think we shouldn't forget the
- 3:10value of all. Take for granted because we are
- 3:12not guaranteed, reward in the Arca or in, even, even in this
- 3:17world because we are sheer. Do you see what I mean?
- 3:21But the question, I think we wanted to kind of look at today,
- 3:25was how do we identify ourselves?
- 3:28Whether it is as a Shear. Can I ask you that question?
- 3:31Question asked me, that question.
- 3:33Yeah, because I'm like really intrigued of how you'll answer
- 3:38it Goku. Are you Muslim first of all, you
- 3:43a Shia Muslim? I think it depends who's asking
- 3:47me me, then I'll say, I'm Michelle Muslim to you.
- 3:51Now, I've Tom Dick and Harry's asking you the question.
- 3:53Well, presumably if it's someone who's not a Muslim asking me, I
- 3:56would say I'm a Muslim. Hmm, looks presumably they would
- 3:58know what she lies. So I would say with pride, I am
- 4:01a Shia Muslim to a Muslim in my opinion because I think there's
- 4:05nothing to hide. Its I why should I have to to,
- 4:10to hide the fact? I'm actually, I'm okay, so let's
- 4:12say you're inside Arabia. Okay.
- 4:14And you know, you're doing tawaf around the Kaaba what know,
- 4:20right. Okay.
- 4:21You know, do you think we are living in a place?
- 4:25Now time now where you would wear a sheet, I will feel
- 4:28uncomfortable being identified as a.
- 4:30She I think. Yes that's interesting.
- 4:32So yeah. But in this Society in
- 4:34particular amongst friends or colleagues or whatever who are
- 4:37Muslim and if they ask you are you a shh?
- 4:40Yeah. Why not?
- 4:41I mean I don't have to to pee. And acquaintances and so on, I
- 4:45don't need either. But if you're in a place of
- 4:48potential risk or harm, or even just discrimination, then you
- 4:53identify as Muslim because you are a Muslim, you know, hiding,
- 4:55the fact that you're a Muslim. You're not you're not lying by
- 4:58saying you're Muslim. If I am told you to analogy
- 5:02earlier, if I am a Liverpool fan.
- 5:04Yes, am I also a football fan? That's what accident?
- 5:07Yeah, yeah, but not every football fan is a Liverpool fan.
- 5:10Every little fantasy football fan.
- 5:12So, if you identify yourself as As a shy, you are of course a
- 5:16Muslim. But not every Muslim is this
- 5:17year. What about you?
- 5:21I'm at how I feel. I feel very shy and something
- 5:24I'm very proud of because you know, when ice to go to school I
- 5:29still have love Chef friends and they's always just say I'm
- 5:32Muslim or whenever they were, like, mixing with other Muslims
- 5:36who are, who are not sure, they would not admit this year, or
- 5:40they were like, too shy to say. For example, you know, I do a
- 5:43lot more something and I think this is something we shouldn't
- 5:45be shy of and it's something we should be very proud of some Be
- 5:48proud say I'm approached you. I think, I think you and I both
- 5:52of course there are times when we advise everyone at home of
- 5:55course to be aware of situations and circumstances where it's
- 6:00not, it's not right, maybe two, maybe identify yourself as a
- 6:05shield because we do live in a world like you said, where
- 6:07there's you can face antagonism for being underwater.
- 6:11This is exactly why I just mentioned my school days.
- 6:14That's because though the point you just mentioned right now.
- 6:17Yeah, you know, there are In times where someone's not
- 6:19comfortable saying he had I had an experience like that in
- 6:22school. Can you talk about it?
- 6:24Yeah. Why not Miss Miller?
- 6:26I mean the the like one of the biggest regrets of my life was
- 6:32the last time I got into a physical fight with someone as I
- 6:36must have been hit, like a teenager, I was maybe 15 years
- 6:39old at the time and I was it was during my harm and I was
- 6:43listening with my headphones to love them to know her and There
- 6:48was a guy who I considered a friend who started beating his
- 6:52chest, like a gorilla, making fun of me.
- 6:54And of course, of our beliefs in anger, I took off my headphones
- 7:00and I confronted him. I pushed him.
- 7:02We got into a fight with fists and all sorts.
- 7:06I regret that incredibly looking back on it and of course, I
- 7:09apologize to him. We made up actually a couple of
- 7:12years later, but if I am a follower of a minimum manin, how
- 7:16can I then, take out Out my anger on someone we believe in
- 7:20the same man, who when confronted and spat on he didn't
- 7:25kill his enemies out of anger. Yeah.
- 7:27He gave them Rama, he gave them the opportunity to I and he
- 7:30said, if I strike him now with them, be for the sake of Allah
- 7:33will be of my anger. Yeah, I mean for me personally
- 7:38that was an experience which island for from and I try and
- 7:42take that into account now. If I ever come across an
- 7:44experience, I was young. And of course, if the brothers
- 7:47watching and I highly Out if you all watching again, ask your
- 7:51forgiveness and you know, we will learn from experiences like
- 7:53that. Now that's interesting to hear.
- 7:56You know, we've I think everyone has experienced some sort of
- 8:00discrimination, hmm, for being shy of for me is only like,
- 8:04mainly when I travel in the airports.
- 8:06Yeah, and, you know, when you're crossing the country is like the
- 8:09by transiting whatnot. They're like, okay, this guy's
- 8:12she is giving me a headache, it's very clear.
- 8:14And they look at the passport, the names, I lie, birthplace
- 8:18Karbala you know, when's his next destination plane landing
- 8:21an edge F. They know exactly what's
- 8:23happening. Yeah.
- 8:24You know they just give you a hassle.
- 8:25Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:26But I haven't really faced something as deep as yours and I
- 8:30don't know how I would have reacted, if I was in your
- 8:32position, I probably would have been angry. - I don't mean, to
- 8:35be honest, I think a lot of people face a lot more and, you
- 8:37know, we live in a world now where people face, you know,
- 8:41much much worse things than getting in fights at school,
- 8:45just simply for having the name Ali, like you do or the name.
- 8:48Abbas. Like I have you know so these
- 8:51are things for us to consider and if you know having the name
- 8:53Ali is the worst thing to have when you're in Aruba.
- 8:56When in the Uber, why yours is the best thing to have?
- 9:00Let me just say as amazes me make that happen, you know,
- 9:06those taxi Journeys. So the driver always like so
- 9:11brother, your name is Ali. I'm like, yeah, we found a lock.
- 9:13Yeah, we're from Iraq. So you're sure, you know, you
- 9:17always have to say when you enter this This sort of
- 9:19discussion, the good thing about the name.
- 9:20Ahmed is, it's a very universally Muslim Islamic name.
- 9:24Everywhere you go in the Muslim world.
- 9:25You see an Ahmed, beautiful weather in East Africa, or the
- 9:28Middle East, or in Far, East Asia wherever you are.
- 9:31Hmm, it works. So hamdulillah.
- 9:33Al hamdulillah handle. I really want to talk about,
- 9:36being sure. No because, you know, we, as I
- 9:39said earlier, we try to be sure, you know, you know, there are
- 9:43certain terms and conditions to say that we are from the she of
- 9:45course, but, you know, a long time.
- 9:48Let's see about 15 20, maybe even 30 years ago, to see,
- 9:51you're sure, you know, those are huge risk to your life and it
- 9:55will especially like during for Iraqis, especially like Jennifer
- 9:59dumb time. You, you couldn't even do, and
- 10:01you could even write poetry. He's going to do anything that
- 10:04represented or identified, you as being share because you will
- 10:07be persecuted, your family will be taken away.
- 10:11So everyone like try to hide, but the fact, you know, Saddam
- 10:16is gone. The world has changed
- 10:18technology. Elegy has like taken the the she
- 10:21has stage to a next level where now we see, you know she I TV
- 10:25channels. We see Sharp reductions, we see
- 10:30she our representation even in places in some governments
- 10:33around the world, even in sport. And this is big, even in sport.
- 10:36And this is a speaking of sport, you know.
- 10:38Just all the day, the name is Rafael.
- 10:41Yeah. Yeah.
- 10:43I saw a small clip from him and he was like, you know, Ya Allah,
- 10:46ya, Muhammad ya Ali. Yeah.
- 10:48The moment in that was amazing, was a proud moment.
- 10:51It was a problem. Very, very problem.
- 10:53And, you know, I really wish him the best in all its might shower
- 10:56Rafael. If you're ever in town reminded
- 10:58me of a story of the marketing podcast, he needs to jump on.
- 11:01This is the last, you know, last are buying the one that went
- 11:04past. I was blessed Handler to go to
- 11:07the, our wagon. And then just like, after I left
- 11:10- airport there was like, commotion going on.
- 11:14And apparently, who are this? Rafael brother was there and he
- 11:17just landed without a Visa. And they were the let him in any
- 11:19like there was like a huge that's eventually took about two
- 11:22or three days for him to leave the airport.
- 11:23But handle, Le he managed to go to this Tiara.
- 11:26So something amazing. I'm speaking of Rafael.
- 11:28Yeah, for I'll bring that. Now, he's definitely in this
- 11:31version. I mean, don't work.
- 11:32He's doing. And of course, he's
- 11:34representing. Of course, he's also had for
- 11:36those who know, like a lot of political drama, not
- 11:39representing his country of his home country because of their
- 11:43persecution and discrimination against Shia minorities.
- 11:46And now of course the affiliates with By John, which is the
- 11:49birthplace of his father, and which is, of course, the
- 11:52majority, she our country and he's the first UFC fighter from
- 11:56Azerbaijan as well. And now I think if I'm not
- 11:58mistaken, he's ranked seventh number seven in light-weight
- 12:00rankings for UFC, which is incredible.
- 12:03That's incredible. So, yeah, and you know, another
- 12:06thing I might is such a blessing to be here, living in the west
- 12:09right now because, you know, you have lots of freedoms.
- 12:12Correct. So, you know, you can practice
- 12:13your faith, you can go hold your modulus, you can go hold your
- 12:17more Wily then you can do all the setups and the backgrounds
- 12:20and the video clip you can all of this peacefully.
- 12:22You know another countries that unfortunate that the
- 12:25discrimination and persecution against any like she activities
- 12:29they're still going on. Yeah and you are correct.
- 12:32You know that the other day I was actually thinking we were
- 12:35talking between some friends and you know we were saying like do
- 12:39we really believe in the British?
- 12:40Freedom blah blah blah was like I was like in a way we are a
- 12:43big. We should be grateful to
- 12:45actually be living in the west places like the United Kingdom.
- 12:48Because we have these freedoms especially when you mentioned a
- 12:52lot of our grandparents and whatnot will persecute.
- 12:54My grandfather. Was were Shaheed under the
- 12:58regime of Saddam and Iraq a lot. And I think a lot of our family
- 13:01members, of course, were lost at that time and there the Risen
- 13:06and a rocky by know that hasn't lost like a, an uncle or
- 13:10grandfather. Plenty, that relates to being
- 13:12shot and even, even until today, we're talking about a nation.
- 13:16If we're talking about just about rock, but imagination.
- 13:18Which went through years decades of dictatorship, followed by
- 13:21Foreign intervention and Then followed by by diet and
- 13:25extremist Uprising till today, people are suffering until
- 13:28today, people are persecuted. And if we're talking, then about
- 13:31all, you know, in the west and all of this and that mother, she
- 13:34know, as some say y direction, which I like I told you guys,
- 13:38I'm picking up my Arabic. But you know, having that
- 13:41freedom to practice here is a blessing.
- 13:43We don't have even if you talk about Malaysia, if I'm not
- 13:45mistaken 9 of 14 or 11 or 14, In provinces URL, it's illegal to
- 13:51practice shiism if you are a resident, a citizen of Malaysia.
- 13:56But if you're a tourist, it's fine.
- 13:58You know, I've heard like specially Malaysia, think of the
- 14:01knees as one of Indonesia's taken every time like the month
- 14:04of Muharram comes, as always, you know, they closed down the
- 14:06center, or they arrested that mawlana or anything or to do, if
- 14:10you're practicing your, share our faith, you get this.
- 14:14This, this begs. The question goes on, I went in
- 14:16the 21st century. Absolutely.
- 14:18It's It's shocking. And of course, this begs the
- 14:20question. Well, what we take for granted
- 14:21here? We're here, we miss our prayers.
- 14:24We pray, lay all for example, we don't really pay attention to,
- 14:28to the will audit of a sudden. The mom, which we don't consider
- 14:31to be as important or even. For example, we're not as fast
- 14:34about the things. Our parents tell us what, you
- 14:37know, how much more grateful can we should be more grateful to
- 14:42understand the fact that we live in a world now where we have
- 14:45that freedom to practice and there were people who would do
- 14:47anything to be in the show. We're in.
- 14:49And, you know, we have people to thank for the freedom of
- 14:51movement and those people are the ones who died trying to
- 14:54revive the share our faith. You know, a lot of people, sadly
- 14:58lost their lives being shh. Yeah.
- 15:01And it's thanks to them that they continue doing what they
- 15:05do. Now, we still have the message
- 15:06here till today. Absolutely.
- 15:08And you just just to think of it, if I were alive, let's say,
- 15:12I don't know. 30, 40, 50 years ago.
- 15:14I don't know if I can come on, say, I'm proud to be sure.
- 15:18I really don't know the answer but where I am right now, I'm
- 15:21very proud, very proud. And I thank them for the
- 15:24sacrifices. They've given these are the
- 15:27icons. If we can use that word for,
- 15:30this is how my, why is important to ensure that we can be proud
- 15:34of this. Yeah.
- 15:35Because like I said, they have died for this and it's only
- 15:39fair. Like I'm putting a religion
- 15:41aside was only fair if they've laid down their lives for this,
- 15:44cause for the sake of will ayat ambulance.
- 15:49You can't just not can't be quiet and start hiding.
- 15:51She has a hiding. We need to stop that.
- 15:53We need to be happy and proud uncomfortable of who we are.
- 15:58As we said earlier, the valaya of a minimum in is priceless.
- 16:02It gives us purpose reason, guidance for this world.
- 16:06And it's our aspiration in the Hereafter.
- 16:08We not just thank our parents, but we pray that our children
- 16:11will inherit and consume, and flood in the will of a minimum
- 16:15in in, and it brings us back to, as you said, Those who gave and
- 16:20lost their lives in the, in the way of a minimal minion.
- 16:23And of course, those of all his companions and followers at the
- 16:27time of the Holy imams and obviously, in the time up until
- 16:30today, who have given their sacrifices for us to, then have
- 16:33the freedom to practice, and we have to remember that.
- 16:35And of course, you know, no better time as we approach the
- 16:37holy month of Muharram to think about those who lost their lives
- 16:40and to sacrifice for us, you know, who gave their they're
- 16:44being, who gave their Essence for us, you know?
- 16:48No, every drop of blood that has been spilled over hundreds of
- 16:52years was for us. And we never pay attention to
- 16:56it. We don't take hiddens to the
- 16:58fact that there are people families who have been grieving
- 17:01for decades because they've lost a father or a brother defending.
- 17:06The shrine of about the letter saying or defending the shrine
- 17:09of, I mean, and what minion? And najaf like these are people
- 17:11who we owe much more than our gratitude to we do we do and we
- 17:14always have stories knowing modulus when it comes to you
- 17:17know, speaking of people who Profess themselves.
- 17:20You know, the a lot of caramel which Dynasty, it was best
- 17:25whenever you wanted to go towards the ZR of Imam
- 17:27al-hussein, you had to give your left hand or your right hand and
- 17:31then those people actually giving all their limbs just to
- 17:34continue on that Giada. So they were willing to go
- 17:37through all of this just for the sake of about the law.
- 17:40And you know, nowadays we have unfortunately lots of Shia
- 17:44Muslims. You know sometimes I've been in
- 17:47college and you know what they say?
- 17:48They or turn turn that lot to me at down or, you know, sometimes
- 17:52you're driving. And honestly, I'll be like, if I
- 17:55had the real be doing a lot on the guy, the guy probably has
- 17:58like, an Uber driver is probably watching or what on Earth is
- 18:01going on, but I wouldn't stop. But there's people who stop.
- 18:04They feel embarrassed and I don't think you should.
- 18:07I don't think you should be embarrassed of.
- 18:09This should be proud of this. I agree.
- 18:11I agree completely. And of course we've obviously
- 18:14especially in the deal, which is we've just had a few days ago
- 18:17that there is a Season where we bought a skin.

- 18:42of this podcast, you know? Yeah yeah.
- 18:44It's unscripted on script, unfiltered.
- 18:47However, you did ask for three points.
- 18:49The problem is with a mirror, a little minion three points us to
- 18:53a little snot as it's not enough connection.
- 18:57We can go on and on and on and I promise you there is once you
- 19:01start praising I have never thought of the content.

- 20:13the milk of the love of I lie. And I As for my father, he died
- 20:17in the service of the son of Ali and thanks to him.
- 20:20The first words I would hear is the adhan and the mentioning of
- 20:24a Holly Jolly Masha, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah.
- 20:29This is, this is something I wrote on the birth of a mirror
- 20:31woman in, and I've never really done.
- 20:34Spoken poetry. I don't know why.
- 20:35I was like something very new. And, you know, being talking
- 20:40about shit being she and being proud of you identity of what
- 20:43this is. Amazing lines of poetry.
- 20:46Mago be question for you. What's your three points?
- 20:49All the best attributes. How can I say?
- 20:51How can I follow that said, who's putting you on the spot?
- 20:55Now me, the courage of a minimum manin is something which we all
- 21:00know of his courage in Haber, his courage in front of the the
- 21:05tyrants his courage, when he had to witness, the the death of
- 21:09automata Sahara, where he had to witness the oppression, that was
- 21:12to Lola. Muhammad faced himself.
- 21:14The Compassion of You don't mean not just to his family not just
- 21:19to his supporters or his friends but even the compassion, he
- 21:22showed to his enemies is something we need to take into
- 21:25account. We need to learn from in this
- 21:27day and age. And finally in my opinion, my
- 21:31favorite quality or Miramonte minion, if I'm entirely honest
- 21:35his his wisdom, his hikmah, yeah, the knowledge that I mean,
- 21:38I'm not manin displayed in his life from a young age up until
- 21:42his last days and of course, we talked about the knowledge of me
- 21:45Lamont minion. And we know him as the walking
- 21:48Quran, but also he displayed a complete understanding and
- 21:52Analysis of the Affairs of the world and the Affairs of the
- 21:56heavens, I mean, demonic minion was the one who when people came
- 21:59to and the streets with worldly issues who would dissect those
- 22:03issues and give them Solutions a minimum.
- 22:05In the end would, who would answer the people?
- 22:07They came to him in poverty and they didn't know how to how to
- 22:11find wealth and whose reputation was damaged at minimum and Dean
- 22:15would be there. 8. And this is something.
- 22:17I think we all should learn from that with these three things,
- 22:20courage and compassion along with knowledge and wisdom and
- 22:23Charla. We can try and attain to even
- 22:27try to call ourselves the followers of the companions of a
