Welcome back to the aftermath of the podcast, your brothers and
0:05
sisters, Wherever you're watching or listening from
0:07
around the world, if you're here for the first time, make sure
0:09
you hit that subscribe button on YouTube, Apple, Spotify or
0:12
wherever you're hearing us from. If you've been tuning in, you'll
0:15
know that we've been talking about Karabala, Imam Hussain
0:18
Ashura and talking about the historics and how it applies to
0:21
us contemporarily Today and today we're going to do the same
0:24
sort of thing. We are going to talk about Imam
0:26
Zain and Aberdeen Ali Islam are for is he under appreciated?
0:32
Is he undervalued and what lessons can we take away from
0:35
him, especially when we talk about recent news, current
0:38
affairs such as the burning of the Quran and of course a lot of
0:41
the pressure that face Muslims in the East as well as the West.
0:44
And as always, I'm joined by my very eloquent and my respected
0:49
brother say that Ali Rodow it's not my looking
1:02
are you keeping? Hamdula keeping well yourself?
1:07
I'm OK, bro. Hamdula.
1:10
Yeah, it's it's now we're recording 10 days after Ashurah,
1:14
so it's like a it's it's an odd phase in a way because it feels
1:20
like Ashurah feels like a while ago.
1:24
It's only been 10 days. So as if we've reached the peak.
1:26
Yeah. Or the morning still continues.
1:28
It does. It doesn't.
1:29
We have to remember not to let it slip.
1:30
So we still wear black. We still attend majalis.
1:33
We still observe the practices and rituals.
1:36
We still cry when you hear Mark say his name and we hear the
1:38
tragedies of Kadabula and what happened after as well.
1:41
And in these days is where we mourn the post Ashra period.
1:46
So we we cannot let slip. Very, very important.
1:50
We can't. And, you know, we're leading up
1:51
to the shahada. Imam Ali Abdel Hussain, I'm
1:55
Sajasi Ali Salaam. And I think you know, you've
1:58
asked the question, do we like, underrate him?
2:02
You know, do we, do we like? Forget his life.
2:06
Do we do we neglect while he stood for and everything?
2:08
And I think we do. I'm honest, I think we we, we
2:11
do, we do that very much. I don't know if it's because our
2:13
Shura takes over his life, because normally we mention
2:17
Imam, Mr. Judge only when it comes to, for example, his
2:19
journey towards sham. There's lots of things happen
2:22
before sham and after sham. And I think we know, I think
2:26
let's start here. The question is, for example, on
2:28
the day of our show on the 10th of Muharram, there are those
2:31
that claim for example. Imam Zain and Aberdeen did not
2:34
stand with his father. He failed to join his father in
2:38
jihad. There is that, you know,
2:40
argument some people use. That's what actually happens.
2:43
So Imam Zain, Aberdeen and Es Salaam was not ill when he came
2:47
to Kadabala. When he arrived in Kadabala he
2:49
fell ill and narrations in history say that he had a
2:52
stomach bug to the point where he couldn't stand up.
2:56
But sometimes we hear in lectures and we hear in Mosiba
2:59
that the Imam was frail and in in it makes it sound like he
3:04
stuffed it a lot, but like he's an old man and he's incapable
3:07
and he was weak. All the but the reality is such
3:10
where the Imam showed incredible physical strength and mental
3:14
strength. The physical strength to firstly
3:17
bear what he bore in the sense of being thirst, water deprived,
3:22
being in the heat of Kadabala, being without access to
3:25
facilities and and what he needs to recover.
3:28
Clearly no access to doctors and medicine and all of that at the
3:31
same time, the mental pressure, seeing his beloved father, his
3:34
beloved family, his companions, all massacred in front of him,
3:37
seeing his women folk, the children all completely harassed
3:41
and abused in front of his own eyes.
3:43
And on top of that being the only male to survive the
3:46
onslaught of Kadabala. To continue his journey on foot,
3:51
of course with the with the pressures that he faced.
3:53
And we're going to talk about that I'm sure.
3:55
And then obviously to go through what he went through to make
3:58
sure Islam survived, to make sure Kadabala was not forgotten.
4:02
And then of course to live for decades afterwards as well.
4:04
So it just blows my mind because I feel like sometimes we we only
4:08
talk about mom Sajad, he was ill and kind of blind.
4:11
What could he do? This was Allah's will.
4:14
You know, like Allah knew that there has to be a hudger on
4:18
earth. There has to be a sign of a lot
4:20
on earth. And when there's we know,
4:22
obviously. And then on the day of Aushadah,
4:25
he told one of the companions. Pass me my stick and my sword,
4:29
I'm going to stand up. He stood up.
4:31
Mom said, Mom said sit down. So there cannot be the earth
4:34
cannot be. The earth would swallow itself
4:37
if there was no hudja after me and you were to take your life.
4:41
So we'll give you a life rather. Yeah, no, you mentioned a very
4:44
nice point. You said his mental state and
4:47
not to belittle his mental state, I'm sure he has the best
4:49
of states of minds, the best. It's not easy to, as you said,
4:53
you know, there's a state of thirst.
4:55
There's, you know, seeing the enemy coming and taking away the
4:57
family of Rasul, Allah, you know, ultimately killing them,
5:00
giving them shahada. And then at the same time,
5:02
there's women and children. It's not easy for anyone, let
5:05
alone the son of Imam Hussein, to see his father in such a
5:08
position and being so weak due to his illness.
5:11
We're not talking about spiritual weakness, physical
5:14
weakness, we're talking about not being able to stand up and
5:17
join his father in jihad and that's not something easy for
5:20
the Imam. But as you said, Allah is the
5:22
best of planners and it's very true because if we actually look
5:25
into this properly thinking now had Imam then in Aberdeen joined
5:31
his father who alongside. Companions and his family in the
5:35
way of loss of Panamata Allah on the 10th of Muharram on the day
5:38
of Ashura. There will be no hunter today.
5:41
So surely that there was a great plan a lot of the best of plans
5:44
because Hadi Mam Hussein allowed to suck.
5:47
Because I heard, I shall have read moms in Ambeddin didn't
5:50
want to fight Mam Hussein told him.
5:52
No, you cannot. You cannot leave the tent and go
5:56
out because you need to remain alive and.
5:58
And that's when I believe is he passed on the Imam at letting
6:01
him know for example you know you are to continue this path
6:05
and you mentioned that that that point where he said give me a
6:09
stick and give me a sword, the stick for him for the strength
6:12
to stand up and the sword for him to fight in the way of the
6:15
last final. But ultimately, had the had it
6:19
not been for that decision, Imam Hussein telling him no, you
6:22
cannot come onto the battlefield, there will be no
6:24
Imam and Barker, there will be no Imam Asada.
6:27
There'll be no Imam Orova. There'll be no.
6:29
So I've lost. It was a month.
6:30
The line will end. So I lost upon what Allah he
6:33
knew then and there that I believe, I personally believe
6:37
that that sickness or that illness or some say it was an
6:40
injury it was recovering from. I'm not entirely sure.
6:43
It's something from my last plan.
6:46
I'll say the Zenob save my right to LA Jamila maybe, maybe
6:49
there's you know when the more you learn about Karbala, the
6:51
more beauty you find in it. And then when you first hear
6:54
that Hadi from the Salaam where she says I saw nothing but
6:57
beauty originally, like what? What?
6:59
How does that make sense? But the more you think about it
7:02
and the year on, year on year we attempted jobs, we have stopped
7:04
on STAT and Spanola, you've just like opened up a gateway for me
7:07
to think of another perspective that maybe maybe that was
7:11
something she saw. Maybe she saw the Ava's divine
7:13
plan in allowing a Mama Saja to remain protected meant that the
7:18
mission would continue until the end of time.
7:20
Well, because had he been killed, yeah.
7:21
Or had he been martyred, we wouldn't be here.
7:23
We would have the Islam of Yazid, the Mars.
7:25
Yes, we. Wouldn't have the Islam.
7:28
We wouldn't have the when in the court of Yazid, when amongst the
7:31
judge of course gave that adequate speech and we'll talk
7:33
about what happened after our show.
7:34
There's some really, really important things to talk about.
7:37
But he says, if I'm not mistaken, we have been gifted 6
7:41
and we have well we possess 6 qualities and we'll be gifted 7,
7:45
seven. In terms of the the other bait
7:47
of him as Saddam. And one of the which the 7th
7:50
that he mentions is the Mehdi he talks about.
7:53
He says we have Hassan and Hussein and Hamza and Hamad and
7:57
Fatah and Ali and Mehdi. If I'm not mistaken, the seven
8:00
that is so important that mom Sajad at that time 61AH
8:04
mentioned the mom and Mehdi and here we are in the year 1444,
8:08
4-5 if I'm not mistaken 14451445.
8:12
Yeah, New Year. Yeah, New Year.
8:14
So because of that and him him prophesizing for telling that
8:18
it's so important. I just want to bring our
8:20
attention to to Yasin of course that everyone at home knows
8:23
Yasin who is with us behind the scenes today.
8:25
So I'm I. Think that's done?
8:27
It's for the same. Child like mine.
8:30
What are your thoughts on this? So basically what I think about
8:33
is just that some people sometimes say that.
8:36
You know Imam Zainab Aberdeen Alissam didn't achieve martyrdom
8:40
on the day of Ashura. So maybe his rank or his
8:43
importance drops that's why we don't remember him.
8:47
But do you dare to say the same for like example say the Zainab
8:51
or say the Rotaye or Sukkene or or Ramla or the wives of us of
8:56
Imam Hussain Alissam because Imam and Mehdi Ajallas.
9:04
After our our Sharat is Sham and then mom's in Aberdeen had his
9:09
son. They asked him why do you cry
9:12
what happened like is it because of our Sharat?
9:14
He says sham and Sham and Sham that what happened in Sham, what
9:19
happened in Syria on the way to Syria, I'll never forget that.
9:23
That we remember the mosaic where blood was dropping down
9:28
from his neck. His arms say that OK, having
9:31
chains around her neck. Say the Zainab getting whipped
9:35
her hijab to getting taken away from her, these things.
9:38
This is simple, especially for imams in Aberdeen, being the
9:42
man, the leader now of these women, of the, of these
9:46
followers, of his family, having to live through this and and see
9:50
it and knowing that he can't do anything about it.
9:52
Yeah, yeah, and we bore you. Think about it.
9:54
When we talk about say the Zainab some light are there and
9:57
they when you said a Shama Shama sham, why was Sham so difficult?
10:01
Obviously the journey from Kadabala after that and the
10:04
mental state, the mental perseverance the mom had to have
10:07
from there to then walk towards Sham and say the Zainab says if
10:11
I'm not mistaken Sokal Hamedia if I'm not mistaken is is now in
10:15
sham. And if for those who have been,
10:17
who know obviously very tall buildings, say the Zainab says I
10:21
saw them poor boiling water from the windows onto the face of my
10:25
nephew and the mom said Jadala Salaam in that sok he saw who
10:31
was it said I live inside a Saturday companion of Sola La
10:36
And he saw him and he said come here, said he came.
10:40
He said, yeah you have no sola what happened?
10:43
You know what's what? He says go over there and get
10:45
that cloth for me. He goes, he brings a cloth.
10:48
He says I thought he's going to cover his body.
10:50
He said no, I need this cloth because from Kadabala I've had
10:54
this chain around my neck with spikes and I need to something.
10:59
Between the chain and the neck, yeah, yeah.
11:03
But after all of that, you think about when he went to the court
11:07
of Yazid. Yazid is there until Ali, and
11:11
he's playing with the head of the Holy Imam mum, Hussein, with
11:14
a stick. Stick on the OK and then he
11:16
starts mocking the imam. Imam Sajad and his Salaam stands
11:20
up. At that point he tells say the
11:21
Zeno. Take a take a sit down, sit
11:23
down, I'm going to say something.
11:25
He starts speaking. He says, I'm paraphrasing
11:28
because the sermon is very long, and those who have read it or
11:31
had it is. It's incredible.
11:33
I am the son of the one who visited Sensitel Montaha.
11:36
I'm the son of Russell, La La. I'm the son of Sedes in the
11:39
side. I mean, I'm the son who is the
11:41
annihilator of the idols. I am the son of Sedis Shabab.
11:44
At the agenda. I am Zenon Aberdeen, the the son
11:47
of Don who's slain on Karabala. And then what does he do?
11:51
Yazid says, stop this man. I don't want to hear anymore.
11:55
Start the avan and the mother Then starts Allah Akbar a shadow
11:59
Allah in la Hai La La shadow Anna Mohammed Arun was so La La
12:03
at that point what happens in moms?
12:04
Sajad stands up. He says You're saying a shadow
12:07
Anna Mohammed was so La La, He says whose grandfathers was so
12:10
la, mine or yours? Because if you say he's yours
12:13
you're a liar. But if you say he's mine, then
12:15
why did you kill his family? And at that point there was pin
12:18
drop silence. If he didn't do that then the
12:22
people in Sham would be would not would not have had the
12:25
knowledge. You know there's so many hadith
12:27
and stories about people who would come that take say to the
12:30
imam cursed beyond you you rebels you said you know who I
12:33
am do you know which. And he started naming multiple
12:36
eyes of the Quran. He said do you know who these
12:38
refers about They say yeah Ala Mohammed.
12:40
He says I'm. On we are Ala Mohammed if these
12:42
if the imam didn't do that propagation, we wouldn't be
12:45
where we are. Oh, and for the imam to give
12:47
that sermon, by the way, if I, if I remember it well, was that.
12:52
You know, as they approach the the court of Yazid, you know,
12:57
people were not questioning who are these people?
12:58
And then there was a thing where people saying these are rebels
13:01
who you know, stood against the kalaf of Yazid, the bin Malia
13:06
and then well and then and then the imam will give the examples
13:09
that you gave. For example, have you heard of
13:10
this verse? Have you heard of that verse?
13:12
And he will say these verses refer to us and people were
13:14
shocked. Is it true?
13:15
Yazid like these are the family of Russo La La.
13:17
You've done that. You've done so and so, so, Yazid
13:20
at that point. It was like, you know, what
13:22
tables are turning it at all. That's let's bring someone to
13:27
speak good of me and my father Malia.
13:29
So I I think very famously they made like a makeshift pulpit
13:33
over there. And you called one of his, one
13:35
of his men to come and speak good of Yazid and good of Malia
13:39
and good of the generation of Abu Sofian and which they done
13:42
so. And then that's when Imam was
13:44
in. I mean you stood up myself.
13:45
Wow. Be open upon you.
13:47
You know, if you allow me to talk, let me say something.
13:50
And Yazida was like, no way. And then the people there was
13:53
like, you know, if, if, if you are saying no, why you scared?
13:58
Let let the man talk. So eventually, as he had to, you
14:01
know, agree to this and let the man talk.
14:03
And that's when he went on and gave some.
14:05
And I paraphrase, you paraphrase a bit and I've got some of it
14:08
here if I can share it as well. You know where the amount goes
14:10
to the smell. Ahmad Raheem.
14:12
Praise be to Allah who has no beginning, and the everlasting
14:15
who has no end. Paraphrasing again.
14:17
Continues on to say, oh people, we have been bestowed 6
14:21
qualities and seven merits by a loss upon of a talent,
14:24
knowledge, forbearance, eloquence, valor, etcetera.
14:27
Then he goes to say those who know me know me, and those who
14:31
don't know me get to know me through my ancestry.
14:34
I. I am the son of Mecca and Mina.
14:36
I am the son of Zem, Zem and Safar.
14:38
I am the son of the one who was bestowed revelation by Allah.
14:41
I am the son of Muhammad and Mustafa.
14:42
I am the son of the person who fought against enemies with two
14:45
swords. I am the son of Ali and Mortada
14:48
approved one. I am the son of Fatima to Zahra.
14:50
I am the son of Hussein, the one killed in Karbala.
14:53
And it was at that point, as you mentioned where you said you
14:56
know, stop, stop the sermon, Let's end it.
14:58
Let's do that. Done.
14:59
It's time for Salah. And the beautiful thing is.
15:02
She's going to re mention what you said.
15:03
You know when the weather was like Allahu Akbar their mom
15:07
said, you know, surely got this great a shadow.
15:10
Allah. Allah, like I been there is no
15:13
witness but God, no problem, a shadow, no Mohammed, a soul.
15:18
Allah. And that's that's exactly the
15:20
point when he said Mohammed a soul.
15:22
Allah, is he my grandfather or is he your grandfather.
15:25
And that's, they say, where Yazid eventually had to like,
15:27
for example. You know not to stop the
15:30
commotion and stop the uprising that's happening in people's
15:33
minds, not physical uprising where you know, he had to like
15:36
release the imam and release the those who bring captive best.
15:40
It's a very, very, you know, very difficult time for the
15:43
imam. Very, very difficult.
15:45
Because before even reaching there, some question was before,
15:48
before the imam, you're reaching to Sham he buried.
15:51
Yeah, yeah. Imam Hussein.
15:53
He buried the companions of Imam Hussein.
15:55
He buried the children, his own brothers, Ali Akbar, Ali Aslam.
15:59
He saw so much when they so much.
16:01
You know the the, the the story is such where when Banu I said
16:07
tribe in Kadabala, it was said that their women were
16:11
embarrassed that the men of their tribe didn't join Imam
16:14
Hussein. So after Kadabala happened,
16:16
after the battle happened, they told their men, yeah, they said
16:20
if you're not going to fight with your mom, at least go and
16:22
bury them. Yeah, go and bury the shahada.
16:24
So OK, fine, they go out and in. In the narrations it says that
16:28
they had no idea when to begin. How do we match this head?
16:31
With which body? And at that point they said we
16:34
saw a man walking in the distance wearing black.
16:37
He came closer. They said who he uses Ahmed
16:38
Lievnan Hussein and his Salan. And he says, why are you here?
16:43
He goes, I'm here. The imam said to them, why are
16:45
you here? They said, oh, we just want to
16:46
see what's happening. So, no, tell me the truth.
16:48
So we're here to bury the Shahada of Karbala.
16:51
He said, let me do, let me do what I need to do, he.
16:54
And he said, he goes, I'm going to give you guys three tasks.
16:56
Bury 3 graves, one for certain members of the family, one for
17:01
the companions and one for happy being in the bar.
17:04
Yeah. And then of course, the Imam
17:07
buried Imam Hussein, Alain, Saddam and then it continues on
17:11
about has a bus. He goes to the floor.
17:13
He goes to the floor. Yeah.
17:14
And he takes a prey on the mat. Yeah.
17:16
And we're on the same page, yeah.
17:17
Yeah, yeah. And what what happens he?
17:19
He tries to pick up was left of about for the LA bus and now
17:23
that's imagine picking up about for the LA bus in your prey mat.
17:27
And it says when he picked up the left side, the right would
17:31
fall down and he picked up the right side, the left would fall
17:33
down. It's a very difficult, you know,
17:35
when we talk about modern day mental health, OK, I know we're
17:38
slightly veering off, but I think it's really important.
17:40
Yeah, when we talk about modern day mental health, we now live
17:45
in a a system western like post colonial system which is very
17:51
reliant on mainstream healthcare and mainstream methods of
17:56
resolving mental health challenges.
17:59
The Imam Alekh Salaam challenged his own mental health by vicar
18:05
of Alas Panatana remembrance of Allah and at the same time he
18:08
mourned how many times we read about the Imam bursting into
18:12
tears and the imam's eyes were sore listed listed.
18:17
This is because the Imam was hurt like it's normal you know
18:20
and like today. I'm not saying that modern day
18:23
techniques don't work. I'm saying that remembering
18:26
Allah and at the same time accepting your emotional
18:29
vulnerabilities is OK. It's it's allowed.
18:32
As a man we're talking about men.
18:34
Why are we bottling things up? You're allowed to mourn your
18:36
situation, you're allowed to grief your situation, but you
18:39
have to remember that everything is is the will of Allah and turn
18:42
back to Allah. Oh, I think sadly when it comes
18:44
to imams in Aberdeen al his Salaam, I think we keep him at a
18:47
place where he's just surrounds Karbala.
18:51
There's nothing else to it. And even when we I, I, I always
18:56
hear from the Pulpus whenever we refer to the Imam.
18:59
He's always being referred to as someone who was always crying.
19:01
Someone was always mourning. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong
19:04
with that, by the way. There was more to, as you
19:07
mentioned, the decrola. And you know, Imam de Namadine
19:10
is very famously known for, for example, Makaro Malak.
19:13
He's very famously known for Saipa Sajadia.
19:16
Very famously known for the truth of Rosales and her whole
19:19
treatise of rights, all of these things.
19:21
So just to add on to your point, it's that mom Zena Aberdeen
19:25
Salman Lade was a was very young in Karbala was 2324.
19:30
And his imamma carried on for 34 to 35 years.
19:34
Yeah, his martyrdom was achieved at the age of 57.
19:37
So do we ever think same age as the martyr?
19:40
Said someone like they. So do we ever think what did he
19:42
do for 34 years exactly? Does anyone say what happened
19:45
after Ashrat? We sort of neglected.
19:47
Because for 34 years, I'll tell you, he didn't just cry in his
19:50
house. He didn't.
19:52
You know this. He didn't just sorry.
19:54
He didn't just sit at home remembering what happened to his
19:57
father and family. Or he didn't just give us a book
20:01
with Saifa Senjadia and that's it.
20:02
I thought. It's just a die about.
20:03
That he really revived the dying Islam as he bring he bring it
20:07
back Imam. Imam's in Aberdeen was given the
20:09
task that now that Islam is saved, Imam Hussain saved the
20:13
message it hasn't died. You now need to revive it in the
20:17
people's hearts to remind them what it is.
20:19
Imam had three major challenges post Karbala OK.
20:23
The first was to proclaim his imamma publicly.
20:27
Because if imagine in that and Islam was in the lowest of the
20:30
low like the pits of low, you have animals who claim that they
20:34
are the heads of the religion. Okay at that point for him to
20:38
come out and say no no I'm Hussein died I'm the Imam.
20:40
No the Imam had to go about it in a smart way.
20:44
The second challenge the Imam had.
20:46
In books it says books of history.
20:47
It says that it's it's like when you break it as a beer and you
20:51
is scattered over the floor, the beads.
20:53
The imam had to bring the community back together to Weld
20:55
them back together like you're fixing a broken taspi.
20:58
The third thing the imam had to do is he had to expound the
21:01
knowledge of the religion far and wide huck to the point where
21:05
people he laid the foundation. We talk about Mambaka alum for
21:09
example, Mam Jafar Sadik. We talked about Hammam Sadik had
21:12
100,000 plus students. That didn't just happen
21:14
overnight. And it 50 years, right.
21:19
So what happened in that period? Imam Sajad was the pinnacle of
21:25
propagation. Tabligh.
21:27
Imam Sajad laid the founder, you know they say Mam Sajad went HUD
21:31
20 times by foot to Mecca like he was back and forth.
21:36
He was continuously traveling. He was continuously teaching.
21:39
He was spreading every chance he got.
21:41
He would tell people this is what I saw in the younger years
21:44
of my life. This is what we need to do in
21:46
the future. And mind you, he done all of
21:48
this whilst being surveillanced and being spied on by Yazid's
21:53
people. And then it's so successful you
21:55
get away with it, yeah. It's it's from what I know,
21:58
Sahifa, said Jadir. It's not a book of daha.
22:01
It was. Intended to be there.
22:03
Yeah, it wasn't intended to be. Listen, you want dahas?
22:06
Here's Dahas from Sahif is no. Sahif said Jadir was a way that
22:10
Imam Zaha Abidi would teach his students about Islam.
22:13
For example, Truto, Esson or. Truto Haid from Bai.
22:20
Talking to them by saying this is a dot.
22:22
Let's recite it together. Let's memorize it together.
22:25
And through these as you would mention stuff like my father, My
22:29
father, indeed my father was killed, thirsty indeed.
22:32
My Imam Ali is the successor, the lion of Allah.
22:36
Stuff like that. The brother of your of Rasoul
22:38
Allah. And by dropping what we call
22:41
like this, like these bars, these hints, yeah, is by that
22:45
instilling that little part in people's hearts from their seed
22:49
then? Is planted From there the tree
22:52
is starting to grow and that is what the other imams had to do.
22:57
It wasn't just that imams saying that Aberdeen's job was this in
23:01
teach them Islam right now all of it.
23:03
No, bit by bit. Then Imam Baker Al Islam comes
23:07
and says this is what my father taught you.
23:10
Let's be expand now let's bring in philosophy, science.
23:13
Let me show you what I know. And from then Imam Jack Fasalak
23:17
took over and said from what my father?
23:20
The father taught me, let me show you this.
23:22
And then the Jafaria school, that university that was born,
23:27
came into life. But as Ahmed said, that didn't
23:29
happen overnight. It took calculations.
23:31
It took planning, It took the wisdom of a loss of power,
23:34
Tyler, and it took the actions of the Imams and that lives
23:38
until today. That's the panel of the they say
23:41
we are the school of the Helen Bates Hamda.
23:43
That's something we should be proud of.
23:44
And the Imams, you know, they did a very good job at this for
23:47
us to reach us, like even the the, the dwas, the supplications
23:50
of imams in Aberdeen. I think it's just over 51 Dwas
23:53
that we have And it covers almost like everything we ever
23:56
want to pray for, whether we anything we want to supplicate
23:58
about And why like from the works of the imam is is treated
24:02
of rights. Yeah, I really love it.
24:04
And if someone has not read this, please go.
24:06
Go online. Pdf's are available online.
24:09
Just such treatise of rights Mom's in our beninima Mr. Judd,
24:12
and just read them and learn the rights of your mother.
24:15
Learn the rights of your father, the rights of your you know,
24:18
your tongue, your eyes, everything.
24:20
The The rights of your friend, the rights of your neighbor, the
24:23
rights of your teacher, the rights of everything.
24:24
And again, those are just foundations.
24:26
Yeah, so you can tell that he's not.
24:29
His plan isn't Let me teach them Islam right now.
24:32
From page one to page 100. I'm just going to tell them the
24:36
bits that they for them to stop. Imagine because.
24:39
Everyone knows Salah. It's been about 50 years now.
24:43
Everyone should know Salah. Yeah, but go to Hajj.
24:45
The problem was at the time that Salah was known, but the
24:48
sanctity of Salah was. Exactly.
24:50
So that's why that's how he revives.
24:52
The sanctity of religion was violated in.
24:55
So that that's the imam's. Job at a point where where on
24:59
the day of Ashurai you have two different jamaats happening.
25:03
And Imam and Hussein and a Saddam is being shot with Arabs,
25:05
like we keep mentioning in every single podcast we've done so
25:07
far. The sanctity of Sala was
25:10
violated. The sanctity of Islam at its
25:12
core was violated, even the Ivan at the core of.
25:16
Hypocrite. All of them.
25:20
All of them burn in hell. And there's a reason why.
25:22
It's because these guys, they they claim that we are the
25:25
owners of this religion. Bro, you are nothing.
25:28
We're talking about the the grandson of Solalah Hammad.
25:31
Salalah, you know he's had the audacity to say to the to the to
25:35
the people I has called when, you know when people were
25:37
hearing the sermon and stuff. He was like no Muhammad came up
25:40
with a made man, made religion like along those lines.
25:43
And he claims to be what the representative the Caliph of
25:47
Rasula La Sala. Of his father has as him, while
25:50
we have called himself a middleman anyway.
25:52
But it's interesting talking about about about Ma Mr. Judge,
25:55
because I know we want to move on.
25:58
There's a one or two things which I think was we need to
26:00
take into account. There's lessons that from the
26:03
Imam's life but not putting aside Karbala.
26:05
But in spite of Karbala, the Imam pushed forward and was
26:09
known as the adornment of worship is, said Al Abadine.
26:13
Aleh Saddam because Imam Al Hussein was a beautiful name.
26:16
He was not as beautiful as I love it.
26:18
It's a beautiful name. And you know, he was known, Imam
26:21
Baker al Islam said. And it's metaphorical, I
26:24
presume, he said. I used to see my father do 1000.
26:28
Records of prey in the day and 1000 in the night.
26:31
He said he would he was so focused that he would sway in
26:35
the wind like the leaf on the side of a corn, a corn plant, do
26:41
you know what I mean? And another hadith, for example,
26:44
from Abu Hamza formali, he says. I once saw the imam praying and
26:52
Imam was wearing an ABBA. He was wearing a cloak.
26:55
The cloak slipped off him. Off his shoulder after the solar
27:00
I sent him. Yeah, Mom, why didn't you put
27:01
that cloak back? And you like, fix it up?
27:03
It must be uncomfortable something.
27:05
Mom says well unto you. Do you not know who I'm standing
27:08
in front of? So in one hadith we're talking
27:11
about the quantity of prayer and in one hadith we're talking
27:13
about the quality of prayer we have to say then, oh, you know,
27:17
people say nowadays I'm so busy. I run a business, I have a
27:21
family. I have social commits.
27:22
I have Majalis to go to. I can't focus on my solar.
27:26
If anyone has a right to mourn over Imam Sajad and Es Salaam,
27:30
he was talk about mentalists. Imam Sajad was there.
27:33
He was in Carnibala. Does he make time for God?
27:35
Yes. We talk about business.
27:37
Imam Sajad owned multiple businesses.
27:39
He was a date farmer. He used to take his wealth, buy
27:43
slaves, train them up, free them and then reinvest the money back
27:47
into the community. Used to use the money to go for
27:50
Hajj. Used to send other people to
27:51
Hajj. Used to use it for proper great
27:53
propagation. He of course invested money to
27:55
the the betterment of the she she has of the time and we we
28:00
have the audacity to say no we're busy.
28:02
We're busy bro. What are you talking about 5
28:05
minutes a day boho I saw like the time like I know Muhammad
28:09
Ali and Juma and I's mention this.
28:10
God bless him. He said that his favorite Salah
28:13
of the day is in when he's when he's at work.
28:17
And I kind of get that, he said. Because in that moment in the
28:20
day, like I kind of get a break from reality.
28:22
I can do my thing in my own space, yeah.
28:25
Yeah. And.
28:25
I kind of feel the same way as well, like you're in your zone,
28:28
do you know what I mean? But sometimes we we don't.
28:31
We we do not respect what the Imam left behind, the pearls of
28:36
wisdom, lessons to learn from boy, I, I, I even remember
28:40
something now. I heard of a lecture recently,
28:42
in fact. So I've read this.
28:45
I've heard this from a lecture from the pulpit and the imam
28:49
like they came a time where for example, there was a lot, lots
28:53
of slavery happening. So the Imam will actually go and
28:55
purchase these slaves and make them, you know, come towards his
28:59
home and he will come and look after them.
29:02
And I think it's a beautiful story.
29:03
I'll share. And it goes along the lines of,
29:06
so the Imam purchased, I think it was 4/4 servants and he made
29:12
them come to his house. But when he was in his house, it
29:14
went bro, they were not really serving the Imam.
29:16
It's not like I'm higher than you and you're lower than me.
29:19
It wasn't. None of that was happening.
29:20
You know, let's just make that claim because people
29:22
misunderstand what servants mean in the in the House of the Imam.
29:26
But at the same time they were students of his.
29:28
So as much as they were working in his house, you know, he would
29:31
teach them Islam and he will, they would teach them
29:34
supplications how to to do on things like that.
29:36
There was even a time where you know people there was a drought
29:40
and people wanted rain. The imam didn't pray for rain
29:44
himself. He instructed his servants.
29:46
He goes, I told you how to do supplication on the for rain and
29:49
they went out and they prayed for rain and it start raining
29:52
and people thought, you know what's going on.
29:54
And then there was other servants who now wanted to be
29:56
aware in this house. They've heard so much about
29:59
imams in Aberdeen that every servants at that time wanted to
30:04
be in the House of Mama, said Jad.
30:06
So your Mama said Jad, you know, was in the marketplace and he
30:08
came across another servant. He bought this man.
30:13
He paid for him. He freed the slave.
30:14
He bring him to his house. Now he's a servant at the Iman's
30:16
house. And you know, the imam calls out
30:20
the the name of his servant. So I forgot the name of the
30:23
servant. And then there's no response.
30:26
The imam calls out the name of the servant for the second time.
30:29
For the second time, again there's no response.
30:32
The imam calls out for the third time.
30:35
He says the servant's name, you know, come here or servant of
30:39
Allah. The guy doesn't respond.
30:41
The 4th time the servant came rushing to the imam.
30:44
Your mom goes, what's going on? You know, I called you four
30:46
Times Now and it's on the 4th time you've shown up.
30:49
What's happening? He goes, oh, your mom, you know,
30:51
I was just testing your mercy. They said there's no one as
30:53
masterful as you. Because in my old, in their old
30:56
house where I was, if I was not to come the first time, as soon
31:00
as that my, my, my, my master called me, I would have been,
31:03
you know, tortured, reprimanded, you know, kicked out all of
31:08
this. But I was just testing the
31:10
sweetness of your mercy, that even after four times, you've
31:14
got no issue with me. And I said Pan a lot.
31:16
You know, the way he treated people, it's just beyond, you
31:20
know, beyond belief. He had an immense stuck like you
31:23
know and mom has say no less I'm compares him to mom so his son.
31:28
To Nabi Iprahim. You know this story?
31:31
Yes, yes, yes and. When he was young and Imam was
31:33
unwell and he said I relying on law and their mom and mom,
31:37
Hussain said. You remind me of Nabi Ibrahim
31:39
because when the the fire was was when you nobody was on fire.
31:43
He said I relying on law and we think about the Takua of the
31:46
imam in different stages from a young age.
31:49
You know the imam was raised as an orphan.
31:52
You know his mother died that when?
31:53
When he was a few days old and. Shuttle Ban was was we know and
31:59
until the last days of the Imam she was Iranian by the way she
32:02
was she was Persian. She was the first I think non
32:06
Arab to marry an imam by the way.
32:08
So his mother was the first non Arab to marry.
32:10
A moment for saying if I'm not mistaken.
32:12
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, there's a lot to
32:15
take forward. And of course, when we talk
32:17
about, you know, the knowledge of the Imam was so important,
32:20
the Quran says and sort of Fatah, I'm not mistaken by 28.
32:24
That the most fearful of Allah's servants are the ones who are
32:28
most learned. So then acquiring knowledge is
32:31
very important. Acquiring knowledge of the Ahlud
32:33
Beit and him Aslam we do that Muharram you know we got Majalis
32:37
like for like we talk about all the time Hadith ahlain the holy
32:41
prophecy. I leave behind the Quran and the
32:43
Ahlud Beit. Holding them onto them do not go
32:45
straight. OK, so we talk about the Ahlud
32:47
Beit, but we also need to talk about the whole about.
32:51
I guarantee you that the other baked the name of life.
32:54
I live their lives. They stayed by the Quran, you
32:58
know and in this day and age now said we're seeing violation of
33:03
the Quran you know in the news. Of course we knew a few weeks
33:06
ago about the the burning of the Holy Quran in Sweden and you
33:10
sent me a video today which really messed with my head about
33:13
people, a lady who was shredding the shredding.
33:16
Pieces of the pages of the kind into small pieces.
33:19
This one's in Denmark, but she was wearing woman life freedom,
33:24
shredding the colon. Completely pathetic.
33:27
Ruined my day was really, really messed up.
33:30
Like where do we like? Because they're gonna be people
33:34
at home who are like you know what do we?
33:38
Firstly people are gonna say why should we care?
33:39
It's not happening here in the UK or wherever you're listening
33:42
from. Secondly what do we do?
33:45
Like people gonna, So what or what can we do?
33:47
Is nothing we can do. People gonna be like that all
33:49
the time. You know, I'm not saying Muslims
33:52
are to blame for this, by the way.
33:54
But I think if the majority of Muslims are not holding onto the
33:56
takka lane it's going to lead to things like this.
33:59
Because the persona loss. Alala haliwa I sent him saying,
34:01
you know, hold on to the Quran. I'm my head in dates and if you
34:04
were to hold on to both of them, you will never go astray.
34:07
Why would someone like Selwan, you know, very famously in
34:11
Sweden, you know, send shockwaves around the Muslim
34:13
Umba. The entire world has been, you
34:15
know, traumatized I can say by the scenes they saw when he
34:19
burned the Quran. Why would they reach such such a
34:21
stage? Because if we be honest, to sell
34:23
one guy apparently was a Muslim, ex Muslim, Iraqi, you know as as
34:28
as crazy as no, no way, no, he can be anyway.
34:32
He can be Karbalay, but no Quran.
34:33
Go to hell. There's no way we claim anyone
34:37
like that to be from from the, from the home of Mohammed Wali
34:40
Mohammed. But ultimately, I think it's our
34:41
fault as Muslims because if we want to say, you know, we
34:45
believe in the Takka Lane and we want to hold on to the Takka
34:47
Lane, we are not abiding by the Takka Lane.
34:50
We are abiding only possibly by the early dates or possibly only
34:53
by the Quran. And this, this goes to every
34:56
sect in Islam by the way they choose even the Quran or for
34:58
example, the Shia, she's only the Helen weights.
35:00
Yes, we need to hold on to both. And the most important thing
35:03
here is that we have to pass on the meaning of Quran to our
35:07
children. And this is so important.
35:09
I mean, you know, kids, if you don't teach them, you know, the
35:13
love of Quran. And if you don't teach them, you
35:15
know the respect the Quran deserves from a very young age.
35:19
Or they can go up and become the new cell one.
35:22
Well, this guy's name is this is Sal one someone.
35:24
Someone, yeah, it's Sal one. We can all be Sal one one day.
35:28
Because if we don't teach our our our children, our kids, you
35:32
know what it means to love and respect and Revere and honor the
35:35
Quran the way it's supposed to be, We can all become the new
35:39
Sal one. And it's very important that we
35:41
don't become Sal one maybe in the next 10 years or 15 years
35:44
because it can happen to our children.
35:45
Because we live here. And I say this.
35:47
Why? Because if we live here in the
35:48
West and we don't give Quran the respect it deserves and respect
35:52
it requires of us as Muslims, bro, we're going to go in a
35:57
completely different direction. Because we have the West, who is
36:01
what, attacking anything with Islamic value.
36:04
We have the West who supports and stands behind anyone who
36:08
goes against Islam. And for example, this whole
36:10
cell, one thing in Sweden who gave him permission to ban the
36:13
Quran? The Swedish courts.
36:15
Yeah, and if, God forbid, if you if you sorry, bro.
36:19
That they they are freedom of expression.
36:21
But what about freedom of religious belief?
36:23
If I want to believe in the Quran, if I want to believe in
36:25
Islam, does that mean that I have no right for protection if
36:30
someone violates my belief in religion?
36:33
You know what I'm saying? The problem is not just that.
36:34
The problem is the double standards that the West, yes.
36:36
Because I, I, you burn any other flag or any other book, believe
36:39
me, I read, you know, you know, you know, was this like the
36:42
first time permission for Quran burning was given in Sweden?
36:44
Apparently it wasn't, by the way.
36:46
It just wasn't as big because this one did in front of a
36:48
mosque and there was press and people were already aware of it
36:51
and there was like 1 week's notice.
36:54
And because it involved the courts and the courts gave him
36:55
police protection. Hence why it became so big.
36:58
Otherwise, there's been here and there, but there's other people,
37:00
for example, applying to burn the Torah.
37:03
Other people apply, you know, apply to the courts to burn, for
37:06
example, the rainbow flags and stuff like that.
37:09
They disagree. The end of the day, religious
37:11
texts, especially Abrahamic monotheistic religious texts,
37:15
are sacred to people. Why?
37:18
Why insult people? Let me say something.
37:20
You said, well if someone right now burns, the Bible does not,
37:23
does not not hurt us as Muslims of.
37:25
Course we may reject and we may say it's been tampered with and
37:28
interfere, but you you, you hurt because you know that ultimately
37:32
that. Maybe it's words in there, which
37:33
is the word of Allah and beyond that as well.
37:35
These are people that they, I think it's up.
37:37
You know what I mean? So people who are believers,
37:40
believers in the one true Lord and that Lord being our last
37:42
panel to Allah, you have to defend them.
37:44
They're brothers in humanity, equals in humanity.
37:47
You know, at the end of the day, yeah, when we talk about the
37:49
burning of the Quran, the violation of the Quran, there's
37:53
been times in the past, even in early Islamic history, where the
37:56
Quran was violated when Sephine. There are people who put Qurans
38:01
on the Spears. Malia put the army of Malia when
38:06
they put Qurans on a spear. You had Huck versus bottle.
38:10
Yup, Halal versus Haram. Today when we see people burning
38:15
the Quran, we are reliving. What Imam Alia Layslam, when he
38:19
fought against the army of Maria, what what he had to go
38:22
through or what are we going to do?
38:24
Are we going to hold on to the QAN or are we going to
38:26
metaphorically join the army of Maria in that sense and not say
38:31
anything because there were those in the army of Maria who
38:33
weren't holding Spears but who weren't condemning.
38:36
How many Shia organizations are doing a lot about this?
38:39
How many people are posting about this on their personal
38:41
pages? Even there's a jihad enough.
38:44
So we have to do in this situation, and that is to be the
38:46
bigger man. And to say something, whether
38:50
it's signing a petition, whether it's writing to your member of
38:53
Parliament, whether it's even in a conversation with your work
38:55
colleagues. I had a conversation with a with
38:57
a colleague of mine at work and we're talking about this.
39:00
And I told him, I said This is why I think it's wrong, This is
39:02
why I think it's it's it's divisive for society, you know.
39:06
But if if we don't have these conversations, even on a very
39:09
small grassroots level, the community, the Muslim community,
39:13
will not know how to respond when when more grave things
39:17
happen. When this happens at our
39:19
doorsteps, we won't know how to respond.
39:21
You know you just mentioned you know the army of Maui upon the
39:24
Quran on space and my head, you know Speaking of burning on the
39:28
Quran, my brain darts went possible with our Shura by I
39:32
think 2-3 years where Yazid burn the cover.
39:36
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, bro, it's crazy.
39:41
Yeah, you're right. Let me get you crazy.
39:39
I don't know. Mine just went completely
39:41
somewhere else. Yeah, best, best, honestly.
39:43
Like if if we don't you know stand up for the Quran and if we
39:47
don't risk and I think, I think we do stand up for the but
39:49
things we're not doing enough. No say The thing is we do it.
39:51
We do. Sorry about that.
39:53
We do with our tongues, yeah. Well, we're not doing something.
39:56
With our hearts and with our hands.
39:58
Do you know what I'm saying? There's How do you for the
40:01
prophet about, about, I don't know.
40:03
I don't want to think. But it's like, if you can't, if
40:05
you can't verbally state something, do it with your
40:10
hands. Do you know what I'm saying?
40:12
And I know there's a full head eat and I don't want to quote it
40:14
but something. I recognize that say something.
40:16
If you can't say something do something.
40:18
Do you know what I mean? Like we have to do something.
40:21
Like there's, you know, it starts from like you said it
40:24
comes from fundamental what are you doing at home?
40:27
Love for the Do you? Know what I really love about
40:30
the Oshora procession here in London this year is that I don't
40:33
know if you know people are listening from London attended
40:36
or for those that don't know this year, the London Oshora
40:39
position. I think like made it that I can
40:44
call an obligation where they ensured they gave a copy of the
40:48
Quran of his cover to everyone who attended the Ashra
40:52
possession and people were either wearing it around the
40:55
next or holding it as they would.
40:57
And what law it just like it made you feel like you know we
41:00
are the party of God you know we are with the law we we are with
41:03
the Quran. That debate on the Quran
41:04
ultimately and they remind and it's very beautiful because
41:07
people number one saw. People holding up the Quran, the
41:10
book of God, and that we stand against the burning of the
41:14
Quran. But also it took me a few years
41:16
back. I saw, I saw when.
41:17
ISIS came. Yeah, sorry, Sorry.
41:19
I know you want to say a point where we made a point here in
41:23
London on the day of our shore, our honest possession.
41:27
That Imam Hussein stands against the likes of ISIS?
41:30
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
41:32
And I saw so much beauty. And it was, it was because even
41:34
Western Western media were like, huh, there's actual Muslims
41:38
standing against ISIS. There was a shock to them.
41:40
It was a shock because they had a lot of people that ladies
41:43
wearing black cloaks and men wearing black dish dashes, all
41:47
of that beards and all of that. And we came out, we said no,
41:49
we're anti ISIS. And it was a shock to Western
41:52
media. You know, I saw a tweet on on
41:54
online, I'm not going to say X because I stick with Twitter,
41:57
but I saw a tweet from some some lady non-muslim who posted a
42:02
picture of that with English translation very recently.
42:05
It might be procession or somewhere else.
42:07
And she just said I got handed this today, I'm going to give it
42:10
a go. Just tweeted that thousands and
42:14
thousands of people replied supporting her saying good luck
42:19
sister, good luck on your journey, my love, reward you, my
42:21
love, bless you, guide you, you know that is beautiful to see.
42:24
Firstly because people encouraged that journey and then
42:28
I followed her journey on on thing because she started
42:31
tweeting day by day by day what she's picking up, what she
42:34
likes, what she's learning and this is someone who last week
42:37
didn't know about. Now she's reading through it.
42:40
How many of us can say we've done that?
42:42
How many of us can say we've picked up the copy of the the
42:44
translation on the car in English, we flick through it and
42:48
we've obviously with the crime you have to give it sacredness.
42:51
Of course you have to read it in the right environment.
42:52
You have to do, although you have to respect.
42:54
What you're holding in a state of impurity, exactly.
42:57
But you have to be conscious that you are reading the word of
43:00
Allah, the stories, the lessons, the calm, the everything you're
43:04
reading. These are holy and and very
43:07
important text. We shouldn't let go of it,
43:08
basically. Well, you know, the Quran, they
43:10
say, is the most read book, the most memorized book, the most
43:13
printed book, the most respected book, the most revered book.
43:17
And it's a book that doesn't contradict itself.
43:19
And it's a book where people can't say it's not the divine
43:22
words of a lot. Spano, what's Allah?
43:24
And I think the beauty in this is that even nowadays where the
43:27
West is against Islam or Quran or whether the Quran teaches is
43:32
that now you know, people are proving that.
43:35
Quran does not contradict science in so much ways.
43:38
Even for we have the examples of for example the universe
43:41
expanding. Who would have known or solo
43:43
Mohammed 1400 years ago I was going to say the universe is
43:45
expanding. Only science knew about this
43:48
recently. Or for example, the example of
43:50
the two seas mixing. Who would have known this?
43:52
Who? Was sailing 1400 years ago
43:54
somewhere in the ocean. Who would have known this?
43:56
That's why they used to say. For example, at his time,
43:58
Mohammed was the magician. Now we've reached a point where
44:01
we can't blame magic. Bro, This is reality.
44:03
This is the divine words of Allah.
44:05
And the truth is with the Quran, bro, you open the Quran, There
44:09
is nothing that contradicts anything that says and and and
44:13
you know the West. I don't know if you've heard the
44:16
term Sharia law before. Yes.
44:20
You know, whenever I hear of Sharia Allo, I'll always
44:22
remember like Fox News or Donald Trump or like, especially
44:26
American TV. Yeah, yeah, like they have
44:27
something against Sharia Allo. And then even Muslims are scared
44:31
of Sharia Allo, by the way, because they think Sharia Allo
44:33
means, Oh my God, I need to like where I buy.
44:36
Yeah, or my hands are going to get chopped off or things like
44:38
that. But reality is, bro, Sharia Allo
44:40
is just halam and Haram. Have a loss of fun with that.
44:43
And you know. If the women to be living by
44:46
Sharia law, day-to-day praying five times a day, not eating
44:49
halam, not drinking alcohol, but that is the law of Sharia.
44:52
You know why the way the West makes you fear Sharia law?
44:57
Yeah, ultimately it's because for example, if we take our
45:00
Sharia from the Quran, the Quran tells you Baba don't gamble.
45:03
The Quran tells you don't get intoxicated.
45:05
The Quran tells you for example, you know, you know don't do
45:09
something that's not lawful for you.
45:10
You know, don't go towards Haram.
45:12
You know, lower your gate. Everything that's good for
45:14
society itself in your soul. Everything that makes you a good
45:16
human being and it makes a society you know wholesome with
45:20
meaning. They're against a Subhanana law.
45:23
You know the values of the Quran is oppression and the values of
45:28
godless society, of freedom. It's crazy, crazy world.
45:32
And I think it requires a discussion on this, a separate
45:34
discussion. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%
45:37
Anything to add if we wrap up? No, I think you've guys said it
45:43
all. It's just that every Maharam
45:46
comes and every Maharam goes. And it seems like all we
45:51
remember is that this and this and this happened, but we put
45:56
away the importance of why it happened.
46:00
So if we remember Imam Hussein's sacrifice, we also need to
46:03
remember why Imam Hussein sacrificed everything he had and
46:07
what we're doing to make it to, you know, to revive it, to let
46:11
everyone know of this sacrifice. So if Imam Hussein sacrificed
46:14
himself for the for the betterment of Islam and then
46:18
Imam saying that Aberdeen and his for 34 years of his life
46:22
made sure that it stayed there and all the Imams did the same,
46:25
then we now need to come in and learn what they took.
46:28
So that we can also be part of that of that mission that we're
46:33
telling everyone this is the religion of our last plant
46:35
island. This is why we're here on this
46:37
earth, to do this and this and this.
46:40
So that people like who want to burn the Quran one day might
46:43
understand that why am I burning the Quran, for example, even if
46:46
they don't believe in it? Why do I need to burn it?
46:49
To prove a point that to show that God doesn't exist?
46:53
I can burn it, no? That if they understand that
46:56
This is why the Quran is here, it's it's making children, for
46:59
example, know the right and wrong behavior.
47:02
Or it's making adults do the right and wrong things and know
47:05
the difference between right and wrong, maybe then they'll
47:07
understand the significance of this book.
47:09
That's not just a holy text, but it's a text that teaches.
47:13
Oh, and that text and that holy scripture, You know, the Quran
47:16
is so important and so central to every Muslim in the world.
47:20
You know it doesn't matter what sect you adhere to.
47:23
It doesn't matter what level of Iman you have, You know, it
47:26
doesn't matter. Let's say, for example, you know
47:30
whether you read it every other Friday or you read it only in
47:34
the fat hair, or you read it maybe when when a loved one has
47:36
passed away. Bro.
47:37
Every Muslim takes the Quran as a form of guidance and a
47:41
Charlotte's form of inspiration. And you know, no matter how much
47:44
people they want to burn, these Qurans, you know, sell one, you
47:47
can burn 50 of them. I know he's done it twice.
47:49
You can burn 50 of them at the end of the day.
47:51
No one can erase. There was a last panel teller.
47:53
Why? Because in Muslims we emphasize
47:55
on this memorizing thing. You know we ensure we ensure the
48:01
Quran is memorized generation after generation that if you can
48:05
burn all the copies you know you can discard them, you can
48:07
dispose of them. I don't think that their goal is
48:10
to eliminate the Quran of the face of earth.
48:12
I think it's for them. It's a stand of democracy and
48:14
and anti, oppression and freedom and anti anti.
48:19
They have a run the Quran anti punishmentarianism that Islam
48:22
brings down on on society today. So they're saying that the
48:27
Quran, the establishment of Islam is oppressive to western
48:32
civilization 1400 years later. So saying this is a symbol, a
48:35
stand against religion specifically Islam and
48:39
specifically the words of the Quran.
48:41
What they fail to understand is that read the Quran, take in,
48:45
put your ego aside, think about what Allah saying.
48:48
Think about the messages in the Quran, the values.
48:51
Don't think about Kill the believers wherever you see them,
48:55
research. Look at history.
48:57
Yeah. Yeah.
48:58
Research. Look at context of the ire.
49:01
Look at different stories of the Holy Prophet.
49:03
How each ire and how each sort relates to the the stories at
49:08
the time and how they're still relevant today.
49:09
Do you know what I'm saying? Anyway, Charlotte I mean it's
49:12
been it's been like a crazy few weeks in in the media and in the
49:16
news. It's really important.
49:18
Charlotte everyone at home we we learn from from the lessons.
49:22
You know there's there's so many lessons that we can apply from
49:25
the time of the other beta name Islam at times like this.
49:28
We talked about the the parallels between Safine and
49:31
what we see today. What sign are we going to stand
49:33
on where who's who we going to partner with.
49:35
You know when it comes to get a hack versus Bartlett been in a
49:39
good discussion. We've literally gone full
49:41
circle. Hamdula.
49:43
And I know there's so much we never touched on when it came to
49:46
Imam's in Aberdeen because he's an endless sea of, you know,
49:49
lessons we can learn from. So I think one thing about this
49:52
Quran is that honestly I know we said it so much times and
49:55
probably we've said on previous podcasts, Bro Tucker Lane Quran
49:59
and the Bates, do not, do not let go of them.
50:01
They're not, you know, make it 1 seem higher or less important
50:05
than than than the other. At the end of the day, Quran is
50:08
more than just a book. It's a book that, you know, we
50:10
can feel healing from. It's a book that when we read or
50:13
recite or listen to the Quran, we can feel for some Peace of
50:16
Mind and it also offers us some form of performance.
50:20
So, Sharla, we hold on to this so that we will never ever be
50:25
led astray. I sent, I sent, yeah.
50:27
So thank you for joining us as always said.
50:30
Always a pleasure to thank. You so much for having.
50:33
Me, my heart, my heart when it sees you and hears your voice.
50:37

50:46

50:51
I think it was. Episode 53.
50:53
Duchin and Ego. We talked about the topic.
50:56
Really, really important one. If you haven't had it, make sure
50:58

51:00
So only thank you. As always, thank you.

51:05

51:07

51:11
lot. So I just wanted to thank
51:12
everyone at home and we'll be back next week.
51:15
