With your presence, thank you. Thank you.
1:40
Said that, it's your first time in London.
1:42
This is exactly my first time. I haven't been here for more
1:44

1:49
That's what happens and so well on it.
1:51
Thank you so much. I know we we've really liked
1:54
Stretched Your Time. We are way past Magnet time.
1:58
So we're after after magnet now. Is the After Secured podcast.
2:01
Yeah. Said.
2:04
Obviously now we're obviously in in the month of Rudge and we're
2:06
approaching Shahaban and Shahramovan.
2:10
How how do you feel kind of at this time of year?
2:12
I know your schedule must be packed as.
2:13
Well, no, naturally. I'm ecstatic.
2:15
Excited Rajab is just such a beautiful opportunity to #1
2:20
rejuvenate your vows, uplift your spirits with obviously the
2:25
biggest occasion, the birth of with that, the birth of Willaya.
2:29
With that, the condemnation of, like the rest of the Imams of
2:34
Hadid bait the journeys of, say, the Shahada Imam Hassan.
2:38
All this comes from Imam Ali Nabi and so he is the originator
2:42
to everything that we love about imamology, if that word works.
2:46
Yeah. Al Hamdullah, there's there's so
2:48
much to be to reflect on and to understand amiramat meninas, to
2:52
understand Islam in many ways. You know amiramat mini, as we
2:55
always say, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wala
2:58
Salem, he brought the religion. He brought the revelation and
3:01
amiramat mini and protected the revelation.
3:03
He preserved the revelation and the dynamic there is so
3:06
important. Inshallah we can get into that
3:08
today. But St.
3:09
Ali, we have. We have something in store.
3:11
We do. We we have you know, for those
3:16
listening and watching to the podcast, you know every time we
3:18
have like an international special guest joining us.
3:21
We we we try to have like a a game.
3:23
We call it AM rankings. But on this episode it's going
3:25
to be a little different because we're going to give you a
3:27
scenario and and a question and inshallah, we're all going to
3:31
see, you know, how your mind works, just.
3:34
Go easy on me, yeah. We will, we will you want to say
3:38
the scenario. No, no, you you do it way
3:39
better. Just in Charlotte's not reality.
3:42
Like, Oh my God, here we go. So I was discussing this with
3:46
Ahmed earlier on and we were like, this is what the scenario
3:49
is going to be. Say it now.
3:50
You are at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.
3:52
OK, yeah, you've checked. I was.
3:55
Just there, like a few hours ago.
3:57
Now you're going back. You've checked in, you've got
4:01
your boarding pass, you've given away your luggage, you've passed
4:04
security. You're boarding the flight now,
4:06
and you're on your seat on the plane.
4:08
And the pilot, the Smila Rahman Rahim, flies off, takes off
4:12
somehow. Nothing happens to the engines.
4:16
The first question is what comes to your mind now?
4:20
The engines now fail. Now here's the second question.
4:23
You crash land on an island, and you remain alive in Hamden.
4:26
OK, Hamden, what are five things that you wish was with you on
4:31
the island to keep you alive? I feel I already carry these
4:34
five things with me wherever I go.
4:36
My phone, my ring, my Insha Allah, I hope I have a family
4:43
member with me. I don't like to be alone.
4:46
Aside from the obvious. I would hope I have with me
4:50
something to kill time with a book that I can learn from.
4:54
At the same time be entertaining maybe also.
4:59
Well, the problem is when I bring a phone or a laptop,
5:02
there's nothing I can use to connect or link with the world.
5:05
So you put me on the spot. To be honest with you, I would
5:08
say a gym. A gym.
5:11
A gym. A gym, Yeah.
5:14
Is that like a Deadwood? How do you bring a gym with you
5:16
on the fly? You can order like gym sets or
5:18
something like that. OK, fine.
5:19
So like equipment? A gym delivery I was waiting.
5:25
For something all the shrines. And Imam Zade, honestly, that's
5:33
such a tough one. Honestly, in an island, all I
5:36
really want to have is a way out.
5:38
Yeah, a boat. Yeah, OK.
5:40
I like that. I love.
5:40
What about survival stuff? Jose, Nina Yeah.
5:46
Have the luck. That's good.
5:48
That's nice. Because you you thought about
5:50
killing time and you thought about being around people you
5:52
love and and that's completely different because some people
5:55
might answer that question to think about I need a Swiss Army
5:59
knife and I need like matchsticks and all sorts of
6:03
binoculars and all of that stuff if.
6:04
You're in an island. It sounds like you're in like a
6:06
paradise. Palm trees and things like that.
6:09
It seems like a place people would go for vacation purposes,
6:13
so I would assume that I'm going to manage on this island.
6:15
So what else can I bring that will optimize my stay there?
6:18
OK, hence the hosenia is necessary.
6:21
You are the Hosenia saying that. We can't live without honestly,
6:24
let's be honest. Takes one to know one, yeah.
6:27
And you know what is? That's, that's exactly why we're
6:29
doing this podcast is the remembrance of the Alabama Islam
6:32
that brings us towards our last panel to Allah.
6:34
And you know this is, and I think for many of us is the
6:40
most, one of the most exciting weeks in the Islamic calendar,
6:45
the Athol Beit Alayhi Musalaam as you mentioned quite rightly
6:48
said the pinnacle and and the ultimate example that we have
6:52
from the AIM Alayhi Musalaam is Amira Momini.
6:55
How he dealt with oppression, how he dealt with crowds of
6:59
people around him and attention all upon him.
7:01
But at the same time, there were moments in his life where he was
7:03
alone, where he was ostracized, where he was marginalized and at
7:06
different stages in the life of Miramat Minin.
7:08
We learn from examples from him. From his birth Miramat Minin was
7:13
honoured born in the Kaaba, you know the first person He opened
7:17
his eyes to Rusuallah Muhammad until the last days of his life.
7:22
Like everything that Allah Allah did for Miramat Minin was just
7:27
to honour him because of his purity, the sanctity that
7:29
Miramat Minin held. I wanted to ask you said, where
7:32
do we kind of begin to understand Allah Subhanahu
7:35
Ta'ala through? Imam Ali is the most God centric
7:40
thing after the Holy Prophet of of Islam.
7:44
I think the example that Imam Ali is to the Muslim world is
7:49
the example that Rasool Allah is in regards to the Muslim world
7:55
as well. He is the second best creation
7:58
after the Messenger of God. I can say that with full
8:01
confidence and that's our belief as followers of Immunomimini.
8:06
That being said, every aspect of the Imam's life revolved around
8:09
Allah. He is the one who said I don't
8:11
see anything unless I see God before it, after it and in it
8:15
which develops a God centrism that transcends just materialism
8:20
where he can take material and incorporate the spiritual.
8:24
I don't see a tree, except that I see.
8:25
Had it not been for the tree, the live life and error and all
8:29
that is necessary to make me live would not come through.
8:32
So hence the mercy of Allah through this tree.
8:35
And so his vision of God's centrism is something that is
8:39
beyond normal. His demeanor and composure in
8:44
times, as you mentioned, where it was difficult, arduous, is
8:48
always revolving around God. He gets struck.
8:50
He says he's born in the cab. He's in a difficult moment where
8:55
he's facing adversaries and the moment he knocks one out he just
8:59
says Allahu Akbar. He's the most God centric thing
9:03
to exist. Which ironically is our response
9:06
to those who say you focus on Iman Ali so much, take your
9:10
focus to Allah. I only focus on him because look
9:13
how much he took his focus to Allah.
9:14
He is that Waseda that takes me back to Allah due to how much he
9:19
made Allah primary. Everything else was secondary.
9:21
Yeah, yeah. So I didn't know, being 13 and
9:24
you know, we're here, you know, celebrating the auspicious birth
9:29
in Imam Ali Ali Salaam and where people sometimes deny the birth
9:33
actually took place in the Kaaba.
9:34
Yani well the birth of Imam Ali is a non negotiable thing if we
9:40
look at textually saying that in between your words, pardon me,
9:45
scholarly material has made it very clear, unequivocal whether
9:50
it was Al Hakim and Neshapuri in his and mostadra Kalislehai.
9:54
These are the two additional Sahi works to the non Shia
9:57
world. There are the additional
9:59
material, yeah, that should have been included.
10:01
Of it, yeah. But according to their
10:02
standards, for some reason wasn't added.
10:04
Yeah, he narrates that Lady Fontanet bint Assad gave birth
10:10
to the Imam inside the Kabat and such report has been narrated in
10:14
Consensus Stawato. So of course I don't need to go
10:17
their direction to embrace my belief on I'm a meal.
10:22
However, if I look at it from a textual standpoint, if I look at
10:24
it from a historical context, this is an undisputed issue.
10:30
But people who have a a little issue inside them spiritually
10:34
will definitely look for avenues out.
10:36
So would you say Imam Ali honored the Kaaba or did the
10:39
Kaaba honor Imam Ali most? Definitely Imam Emira MO Menin
10:43
honored the Kaaba. Later on, literally honored the
10:49
Kaaba by removing the Asnam from around.
10:52
Is that not one of the biggest honors to remove idolatry?
10:55
The Kaaba was honored through that, let alone through him
10:59
being miraculously born inside it.
11:01
The events that transpired are not normal events.
11:04
Lady Fatima Bent Assad approaches it and she's about to
11:07
give birth and she makes this amazing Dua Allahumma Behaktel,
11:11
Maulu de Levifi Botni Illa Maya Sarta Aliya.
11:15
Will adity make it easy on behalf of the one in my womb
11:19
about to be born? Then suddenly though southern
11:22
wall of the cabbage just splits and she just walks inside,
11:26
narrated by those who are surrounding this.
11:28
This is a bizarre scene goes in and it closes.
11:32
Hysteria happens. The wife of wolf Adam is in the
11:35
cabin and they go and they inform him and his response is
11:38
simply well, if it happened as such, this was the order of
11:41
Allah, let's not interfere. Many came to open the door that
11:44
didn't go through until the second day.
11:47
The third day it opens again. She comes out, but this time not
11:51
as one person, as two. She's holding a young baby.
11:55
The crowd is surrounding the scene and they're looking what
11:58
went on, and the first person she approaches as the crowd
12:02
parts way was the messenger of God himself.
12:05
And she hands him the child, and she asks him, what have you
12:09
decided to give him as a name? And the Messenger of God says
12:14
that the heavens has ordained not me, that he shall be named.
12:19
From that moment on, He opens His holy eyes.
12:22
Imam Ali takes days for children to open their eyes after their
12:26
newly born opens his eyes. And the first things, as you
12:30
said he sees are the eyes of Rasulullah looking at him.
12:33
Fast forward about 30 or so years later.
12:37
Rasulullah is in the hands of the Imam.
12:40
On his deathbed the last thing he sees Sallallahu alaihi were
12:44
the eyes of Imam and it goes full circle.
12:47
It's you know when when so beautiful When we talk about the
12:50
relationship between Amira Monin and Salaam Muhammad sallallahu
12:54
alayhi wasallam in natural Balaga, we talk about this
12:57
sermon we've talked about it before said is the the way in
13:01
which Yamira Mohammed talks about his relationship with the
13:03
Holy Prophet. Muhammad is like no other and he
13:06
says that I followed him like a a baby camel follows his mother
13:11
and I learnt revelation from the the mouths of the Holy Prophet
13:15
and I was I slept on his on the bosom of the Holy Prophet
13:18
Muhammad. These kind of statements and
13:21
sentiments are not to be taken lightly and for some he may be
13:24
4th, but for us he's first indisputably, and not just in
13:27
terms of his states politically or where he ranks in history.
13:30
Mirren Mokminin is first in every sense of the word.
13:34
And when we talk about the number one, Emir al Mokminin is
13:37
number one for us as the Imam and that is it as the Khalifa
13:41
undoubtedly. But as the the Imam which
13:43
encompasses Khalafa, he remains #1.
13:46
And you know what's interesting? If you don't mind me saying,
13:49
even when Emir Al Mokminin was asked about the number one, he
13:53
gave a beautiful response. After the battle of Jamal, a man
13:56
comes to Miramot Manin. He says when you say Allah is 1,
13:59
what do you mean? Miramot Manin says there are two
14:03
correct ways of saying Allah is 1 and there's two false ways.
14:06
As for the first false way, he says to say Allah is one.
14:10
For example, numerically He's one of two or one of three, one
14:15
of infinite, because when you numerically summarize Allah
14:18
spanta Allah as an individual or an entity which is a number that
14:23
limits him. The second false thing he says
14:25
is when you say Allah is one, for example of a Group, One of a
14:31
number of deities. When you say Allah is at the
14:33
moment one, it implies that He's alone and there could be an
14:37
opportunity or possibility for there being other deities in the
14:40
two correct scenarios. When Emil Mokminin says Allah is
14:43
one, in the first case Allah is one-of-a-kind he can't be
14:47
compared to. There's nothing apparently
14:49
nearby comparable to the last Panel to Allah in his entirety,
14:53
neither in his attributes nor in his decision making or anything
14:58
along these lines. A last panel to Allah is
15:00
one-of-a-kind and finally says the second correct assumption is
15:04
that a last panel atallah is one in his entirety and in the
15:08
hadith says, if I'm not mistaken, one both physically
15:11
and mentally. For example, there's no
15:13
components to Allah even in the mind.
15:15
If I think Allah is made-up of multiple things, even if I say
15:18
Allah is made-up of alfour, and another part of Allah is of
15:21
Rahim and Alim and all of these different attributes, they're
15:25
not simultaneous. They're not different attributes
15:27
which make up Allah. Rather they are simultaneous
15:31
descriptive words to summarize Allah.
15:34
Maybe I'm maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong saying that, but
15:36
that's my understanding very. Beautiful explanations, Of
15:39
course. It's hard to comprehend
15:41
descriptions of God from the most godly man ever.
15:44
Yeah, but because of how well learned he is of these
15:49
descriptions, he can make them digestible for us in this way.
15:53
So he tells you, you see these is Joseph of these portions.
15:57
God is not built in portions is what he uses to describe and
16:02
another description La La you draco hawas that Imam describes
16:13
him as not able to be sensed and senses cannot perceive him,
16:18
people cannot measure him. He is near nor far, far nor near
16:25
and just this explanation that comes and tells you at all.
16:30
But here are some metrics to understand God on a more
16:33
personal dimension. Imam Ali said he hits the nail
16:37
on the head with this very beautifully.
16:40
You find these gems across Nacho Balava as well, especially.
16:43
The way Imam Ali described is God.
16:45
I'm mesmerized. Oh my God.
16:48
I've never heard someone describe what last panel with
16:50
Allah whatnot. That's not limit Allah, but
16:53
given the attributes and the way he explains analogies, he's
16:56
amazing. Yeah, and you look even for
17:00
sermon one in Nacho Balada, surely for Radi when he when he
17:03
compiled it. I'm sure there's a reason why I
17:05
put it as the first. There must be millions of people
17:07
in the course of history, my own community, as an example, who
17:10
reverted towards Willaya because of the attributes of Amira
17:14
Mutmanin, both in his actions and in his descriptions of a
17:17
last month Isla. Like you know, in the first
17:19
sermon of Nacho Balada, he talks about Hajj, he talks about the
17:23
Ambiya, he talks about Nabi Adam and Islam, talks about the
17:25
origin of mankind, he talks about the galaxies, he talks
17:28
about water vapor, He. Talks about the the, yeah, the
17:31
process of the development of the universe incorporating water
17:35
vapor. Such that it came to.
17:37
Create a collection of elements that produce life eventually.
17:43
How would you know this? Because this is astronomically
17:46
accurate too, and spiritually at the same time, it's just beyond
17:50
comprehensible. And to think that this is a
17:51
person who there are some Muslims who say that he was
17:54
raised by Omi who was illiterate or that he's amongst a community
17:58
which is less educated, you know, like oriented us who'll
18:02
say that this pre Islamic era of being uneducated and not we're
18:07
talking about Amiramat Minin who was amongst godly knowledge and
18:11
who possessed godly knowledge. So it's just it's mind blowing
18:14
to fathom that Amiramat Minin excelled in every field.
18:17
That there's the point. You know Seidali brother Ahmed,
18:20
we're talking about how he just excelled in his relationship
18:24
with God. He only not only excelled in his
18:27
relationship, but he excelled everywhere.
18:29
Else every field. Want to see the best example of
18:32
a just leader? You want to see the most tender
18:35
man to his family, The most humble slave to God at night,
18:41
praying at the Mahab, the strongest warrior in the
18:45
battlefield. Imam I never thought of.
18:46
He just hits a pluses everywhere.
18:49
That first sermon in Naju Balara is powerful because it's just
18:53
this powerful introduction. Yeah, here is in the beginning,
18:57
like the Bible might begin the last people often skip the last
19:02
because it's at the very end portion of Naju Balara.
19:05
The very last sermon Imam Immuno moment is the last statement.
19:09
He has something impeccable about a way to live life without
19:15
ever having problems that you can say I'm responsible for.
19:19
He says Whenever you find people out there that you like, don't
19:24
obsess in liking them. Eh bib Habib Beke honan ma I saw
19:31
a yokun Bari bakayo Men ma, love your lover to a healthy extent.
19:38
Don't be obsessive because maybe one day he'll become your enemy
19:42
and you've loved and poured your heart out to them.
19:44
So this much, your secrets, your critical information, Now you've
19:49
loved them that much. Eventually they turned against
19:51
you. So they have all this that they
19:53
could use leverage on you. But then he says and hate your
20:03
enemy to a healthy extent. Don't over hate a person because
20:06
maybe one day they turn into your lover.
20:09
So love your friend, but not obsessively.
20:12
And hate your enemy, but not obsessively, because everyone
20:15
has an opportunity to go one way or the other.
20:17
He starts with wisdom, introducing God.
20:20
He then goes to the psychology of man at the very end of it.
20:24
Outstanding. It's mad.
20:26
Like when you when you think of it, it's truly Salaam is The
20:32
Walking, talking Quran. Oh my, not just.
20:35
I'm just saying this behind you. I see the Quran truly inshallah
20:38
we are holding on to the. Book of Allah, we have 4 little
20:42
Cosmo. Oh wow.
20:46
Well, three swords. And they're.
20:48
Not truly. You know, I cannot see him as a
20:52
normal human being. A lot of people, yeah.
20:54
Sometimes I read comments that we get engagement on the
20:57
podcast. You know, why do you guys always
20:59
Revere Ali and Ali so much? He's just like any other Tom,
21:02
Dick and Harry. But the truth, he says no.
21:04
Look at him. He's more than that.
21:05
He was born in the cab. As we mentioned, he was raised
21:08
by Rasulullah Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi Ali wasallam
21:11
and he was appointed by Allah directly himself.
21:13
Beautiful. No one else.
21:15
It wasn't a self you know, governed election.
21:17
It was appointed by the divine himself.
21:19
So why would we go anywhere else there that I'm, I'm, I'm going
21:22
to ask a question here. If Imam Ali Abhi Talib and Hamil
21:26
asks a question at the beginning, you know how do we
21:28
find God through Imam Ali Ali Salaam.
21:31
I am seeking the truth. If it's now my first time
21:34
listening to after Mahreb, I'm tuning in.
21:36
I'm seeing, you know, 13 Raja vibes, everyone discussing Imam
21:39
Ali. What has Imam Ali got to do with
21:41
my life? How is he going to help me take
21:44
me to my final destination, Jenna and Akara?
21:48
I think through a process of elimination, the human being
21:51
loves to learn step by step. It's hard to say, just accept
21:55
and embrace this very comprehensive idea when in
21:58
reality, Imam Ali is simple but through a process of
22:02
elimination. When you walk around life, you
22:06
want to know that there is purpose, meaning behind your
22:08
existence. Naturally, you're going to
22:10
search for that purpose. Many people end up finding a
22:13
super higher power. Yeah.
22:14
And then when you get to God that this universe could not
22:17
have just became out of nowhere, it became through a purpose,
22:21
that there was a purpose behind my creation.
22:24
Once you got to that point, which a majority of the world
22:27
is, then it's a matter of well then how am I to understand that
22:32
creation that I might call God, others might call Jesus, others
22:36
might call Nirvana, whatever it may be, is now you start
22:40
thinking what makes most logical sense.
22:42
Islam is logical. Islam is rational if it doesn't
22:46
consist with logic and rationale then there's a floss somewhere.
22:51
Allah would not tell you except something that doesn't make any
22:55
sense. So there are rules and meaning
22:57
and belief that we may not comprehend.
23:00
But at least I know there is wisdom behind this.
23:02
So now through that process of elimination I've come to terms
23:05
that there can only be one God. There can't be two because one
23:09
will occupy a space to the other, doesn't it?
23:11
Hence making them limited and that which is limited is not
23:13
worthy of being worshipped. So now, if it's only one,
23:16
logically speaking, then which world view today embraces only
23:21
one of these? You get down to primarily 3
23:23
Abrahamic ones, yeah. Then from there you just
23:25
continue that process of elimination.
23:27
Which one consists with the most logical foundations, a world
23:32
view. And this is obviously not to
23:34
throw shade on other practices, but a world view that says these
23:37
are chosen people, whether you're born into them or not.
23:41
It's just a matter of, you know, your luck.
23:43
That's not fair. Or my God perhaps died on a
23:47
cross for my sins, but he was God at the same time.
23:50
Again, the consistency needs to be maintained for me in order to
23:53
say I follow something that makes sense to me.
23:56
I'm not here to follow fairy tales.
23:57
Does it make sense to me? Then you get to a narrative that
24:01
says, no, there is one God not going to be restricted and
24:05
limited in the matter that we may have seen elsewhere and also
24:09
doesn't give this superiority to people just by virtue of being
24:13
born ethnically into a certain group.
24:16
That makes the most sense to me. Then from there you have to do
24:18
more process of elimination, right?
24:20
OK, now which one? This God will dispatch guidance
24:23
for us because that's like a parent who gives birth but then
24:26
just abandons their help, me. And so they dispatch the Lord to
24:30
us. What messengers aids?
24:34
But then now my notion of these messengers, are they the type of
24:37
people that can have flaws? Do they get mad at other people
24:41
for coming for help and they frown at blind men?
24:45
Do they, for example, have bad mannerism?
24:47
That doesn't make sense to me that God will dispatch someone
24:50
that is not reflective of godly characteristics.
24:53
Then I established the Messenger of God is masoom through and
24:55
through. But then when he's about to
24:58
depart now or at that really critical question, where do I go
25:02
after him if he made it loud and clear?
25:05
The old people? Oh ummah, I'm going to leave
25:08
behind for you 2 very valuable things.
25:11
It's the Book of Allah. 23 bloody, literally bloody years.
25:16
We shrived for this. Hold on to it.
25:19
And my ahul bait. My ahul bait.
25:22
My ahul bait. This isn't Sahih Muslim that 3
25:25
Ahulbait repetition. And that shows he's emphasizing.
25:28
My ahulbait, don't let go of them three times stressing on it
25:31
exactly and. He didn't just say love them,
25:33
hold on, hold. On to them it's not a matter of
25:36
just have kindness. Love them please just take it.
25:39
Hold on to because it's a habloon mem dude like the Quran
25:42
is to the samawat Ahulbait straight to the Lord himself.
25:46
You will never ever go astray. So then his ahil base.
25:49
By the way, I don't disagree with Sunnati as well.
25:52
Of course the Sunnah of Rasulullah, after the messenger
25:55
of God, it's his Sunnah. But who better knows the Sunnah
25:58
than his own ahil bait? You know who better has
26:01
understood that logic than Fatima?
26:04
Who sees him wake up on a daily basis?
26:06
Who understands what his interests are?
26:08
From the Sunnah that's very meticulous, to the Sunnah that
26:11
involves major social decisions. Only Imam has access because
26:16
he's always been there in those major critical social moments.
26:19
And so I agree with that. But then you have to be fair and
26:23
you have to make a decision based on justice and logic.
26:26
Your mind doesn't make sense that the Prophet dies like that
26:30
and doesn't leave anyone to guide the ship.
26:33
It doesn't make any sense to me if I've accepted so much
26:36
consistency of logic, say that throughout the creation of God
26:39
to then the messengers I did process of elimination.
26:42
All right here I'm going to say it's not going to make sense and
26:44
I'm willing to accept it. Continue.
26:49
Forget all of that. Just observe the 12 imams
26:53
historically, just observe them. You will never find history
26:58
recorded. A flaw, an error, a slip.
27:01
Oh, I made a mistake. Let me repeat that.
27:03
None of that. Is that not bizarre.
27:05
I think it's bizarre. If you have a generation of
27:08
families that are all lawyers, 12 of them, one after the other,
27:12
an impeccable lawyer, never losing a case, that's that's
27:15
impossible. The coincidence of that is
27:17
unlikely. Ever.
27:18
Especially when they're under such heavy scrutiny.
27:20
Not just that, in the circumstances that they're in,
27:23
in jail house imprisonment. War looking for a reason to put
27:26
a give them a bad reputation. They can't find one.
27:29
And then look at the gems they produce despite all of that.
27:32
So I have a such idea here. Works impeccable there
27:36
sacrifices here, even in the confines of prisons, A
27:40
magnificent example of wisdom, like a raging river for all
27:45
those thirsty to come and quench their thirst Imam and call them
27:48
and so many examples, you can't find this anywhere else.
27:51
What are the odds of this ever occurring then?
27:53
Maybe it's not a coincidence. Maybe there's a divine hand at
27:56
play. Yeah.
27:58
Yeah. So you've said that so
27:59
beautifully and eloquently, and I want you to continue.
28:03
I don't want to. Interrupt.
28:04
Yeah, I lost in my. You mentioned love.
28:07
You mentioned the very nice point where you're like, was
28:10
Russell Allah Just going to leave the swell and all point
28:12
anyone because it makes you think I lost panel at Allah and
28:15
there's infinite wisdom and might and so look, he's really
28:19
not going to appoint to Rosola to appoint someone and Rosola in
28:22
his position. He's just going to, you know,
28:24
leave this world and let go. And I add to that, sorry, I said
28:28
I was going to say, like, it's it's sad as well that the world
28:30
we live in has become so polemical.
28:32
So if I was on Twitter the other day, I saw a quote.
28:34
I have like a burner account, like an anonymous account.
28:37
Yeah, that's what it's called. Yeah.
28:39
Yeah. So got to be broke from the
28:42
ends. But so I saw a brother.
28:45
He tweeted a question like an Islamic question.
28:48
He's a young brother. He must be in like his teenage
28:50
years or something very like straightforward question about
28:54
an opinion about how Islam treats a certain type of people.
28:57
And he was referencing Andrew Tate.
28:59
He said, Andrew Tate says this, what does Islam say?
29:02
So I found a hadith of Amira Mohamanin.
29:03
I said look at this, this is what Islam says.
29:06
So the guy goes, are you Shia? I said, what makes you say that?
29:09
Like I have a completely anonymous account.
29:11
He says you're praising he I didn't even praise.
29:13
He goes you're you're you're. He said I'm praising Ali Radi
29:17
Allahu and OK fine, because I shared a hadith from Miramot
29:20
Minin the fact that we live in a world which has become polemical
29:23
or you. Can't praise Imam Ali without
29:25
being called on for Let. Alone praise say that I can't
29:27
share a hadith of Miramot Minin without someone saying this guy
29:31
must be a share. So it's unfortunate that we live
29:33
in a world like that and and I'm trying to understand whether
29:37
that is what was destined to be the case or is it a shame?
29:41
Because it in my mind it's a true shame.
29:43
The fact that you have a the pearls of wisdom that I'm
29:46
Miramot Minid, who is the peak of eloquence and who has
29:49
produced so many pearls of wisdom both in his idea and in
29:53
his sermons and his hadith and also in letters like his
29:56
infinite amounts of wisdom in there.
29:58
And if you even share that to the outside world or not even
30:01
the outside world but maybe to our brothers and sisters
30:03
sometimes you are labeled A Shia with a negative connotation.
30:09
Not that it's something we're not proud of.
30:10
We'd die with this label, you know?
30:13
It's just a bit annoying. To be honest.
30:14
I I don't know whether that's I. Think it's an annoyance I'm
30:17
willing to pay, though? Yeah, in order to be proudly,
30:20
unapologetically. I'll handle that annoyance and.
30:24
I don't think a minimum mining was like some people say minimum
30:28
mining. You know, a few weeks ago when
30:29
we were talking about Fatima and we talk the the questions that
30:32
arise every year about where was Imam Ali al Islam at that time
30:37
and where was Imam Ali when, when, when they were taking at
30:41
Sakifa, when they were doing. Why didn't he stand up?
30:44
He had all those years, 20 plus years, why didn't he stand up?
30:47
You know, I mean, what many knew when to stand up and he knew how
30:50
to stand up, whether it's in Jamal, whether it's Shakshakiya.
30:53
You look at these different instances where Minamat Mini and
30:56
Islam spoke up. Either you know, with his words,
30:59
with his writing or even with the sword occasions.
31:03
He knew what to do, like he had divine wisdom.
31:05
There were easy surely is to say, brother.
31:06
Ahmed, you know, where was he? Why didn't he?
31:09
Living comfortably here in the 21st century?
31:11
If you were there in Medina, during an upheaval and a
31:15
usurpation of an establishment that Rasulullah worked
31:21
effortlessly to establish, it's not easy.
31:24
It's not easy to see suddenly the OMA turning back on its
31:27
heels. The Quran said it that should he
31:34
either die or be killed, yes, you'll return back again to the
31:37
ways of the past. And that was foreshadowing that.
31:40
There's going to be this wave of betrayal.
31:44
That's what it is. Betrayal.
31:45
Backstop. All that hard working.
31:47
Just backstop. The messenger of God.
31:48
He hasn't been buried yet. We're going to take care of this
31:52
yet, and you're already starting this pseudo election.
31:55
Have you ever seen an election where the electorate is not even
31:57
present? First of all, it's the bogus
31:59
election to begin with. I would even meet you halfway.
32:02
Do your election at least have everyone there to voice their
32:06
for example, it's really the most critical people.
32:09
Do your election, but first get your priorities straight.
32:11
Or Sotola needs to have his honor fulfilled by being buried
32:14
properly. People who raised these
32:16
concerns. Why wasn't he?
32:18
Why didn't he? It's easy for us to say now.
32:20
Look at what happened back then. Does your mom Ali touch on this
32:23
and shakshapaya? He does.
32:24
He does. He's like, I had to be patient.
32:26
There was a mortification of the throat prickling in the eye.
32:29
It was not easy. The Prophet told me it was going
32:31
to happen. And he said hold back your sword
32:35
if you don't find enough supporters.
32:36
But if you do, do what you can. And the supporters came and they
32:40
said, yeah, Ali, this, this is not fair.
32:42
We wanted you. We knew it was all about you.
32:45
And we're willing to lay our lives out for you.
32:47
Approximately about 500 said under the condition you show up
32:50
tomorrow with your Headset Bowl. Like, yeah, this is nothing.
32:53
Of course we'll do it the next day.
32:55
Only about four or five come. Salman Mekdad Abu Dhar Allah
32:59
Zubair Interestingly were there and they're like we're here for
33:02
you. I there'd be a lot of me and I
33:03
was like, it's not enough. Just go back.
33:05
I don't want bloodshed and carnage to occur right now.
33:08
So for the sake of the Oma, I must remain resilient and
33:12
resistant in this manner. I've had a hadith and I think
33:15
we've mentioned it before on the podcast from one of the other in
33:18
my little slam. I think it was a Mam Sadaq al
33:20
Islam similar like in reference to that when he was on near a
33:25
farm and one of the companions said why did the middleman not
33:27
stand up. He said there are 8 chickens or
33:30
8 animals sheep here or something.
33:32
If a middleman million had as many true supporters as there
33:34
are animals here on this farm, then he would have stood up.
33:37
And it's it's specifically in reference to the what you said
33:40
say in in shark Sofia when he talks about the the oppression
33:43
he faced. Minamot Minin was the most grand
33:45
of men at the time, the most credible, the men at the time,
33:48
the most patient, the most strong, but at the same time is
33:50
also the most oppressed. You know the oppression that
33:52
Minamot Minin witnessed from birth till death really unlike
33:56
anyone else. You know the fact that he had to
33:59
witness the Martin of Salam Mohammed Sallallahu Salam.
34:02
Of course he lost his parents and then he lost Fatim to Zahar
34:06
Salam. I I know her.
34:07
And then the knowledge that of what would happen both in the
34:10
political side of of the Islamic Ummah and also the downfall and
34:15
the the the the, the the worsening conditions of the
34:18
Ummah in terms of their living and their knowledge and their
34:20
island and their guidance. And then ultimately to know what
34:23
the fate was to be for his sons. And when you see the the will
34:26
that Miramoto Mini wrote at the end of his life, it just goes to
34:29
show that Miramoto Mini obviously he's not telling mom
34:32
and has in the Islam, you know I don't trust you.
34:34
So here's all the things you need to do.
34:35
He's telling us and he's telling the shit out of the time that
34:37
the Muslims at the time. And it just maybe rings alarm
34:41
bells as to what the situation was at that specific point in
34:44
time or even just what had gathered over the previous 30
34:48
years. Because obviously a minimum mini
34:49
had those four years where Imam Hassan was his treasurer, where
34:52
poverty in the Omar was eradicated because of the
34:55
stances that Imam Mini took. And Amazing Minstain always had
34:58
this argument whether we could call a minimum.
35:00
We need a politician. I say yes, he's a politician.
35:03
He was the greatest politician. I say he's a leader.
35:05
What? Do you say I think leaders are
35:07
great with? Everything else falls under it,
35:09
yeah. I think, I don't know we can get
35:12
this conversation with you another day.
35:13
I mean it's also the standards for semantics should.
35:15
Be Yeah, he. Absolutely raised the bar and no
35:19
one will ever reach where he raised it until Sahab is the
35:22
moment with her job a lot. I love Joe Sharif.
35:25
But you made a beautiful point that later on in his life it
35:28
just gets worse and worse that the battles that he's accused of
35:32
being responsible for. You were responsible for the
35:35
death of Earth Mine, if not fun and you're hiding the killers
35:38
subsequently. Give us them or else we're going
35:41
to go after you. So then the estranged wife or
35:44
the prophet meets up in Jamal of sorry of Basra.
35:48
And what would then be the battle of Jamal if the crime
35:51
happened in Medina? Why go there?
35:54
What's going on? Then you're suddenly armed with
35:56
men. Imam then has to send his
35:57
forces. Let's not make this into a
35:59
problem. A battle happens so suddenly
36:02
he's thrown into a war. Who wants to start this?
36:05
No one wants to be put in this situation.
36:06
Against who? The estranged wife of the
36:09
Prophet. It's not worth it.
36:11
Like we like to say is that man man.
36:12
He used to be the wife of the prophet.
36:14
I'm his son-in-law. This shouldn't really happen.
36:16
And the Imam tried his hardest. But let's not make this happen
36:20
until they shot the first arrow. Yeah, he's like Hollis, this is
36:23
it is what it is. Now it's just self-defense.
36:26
The imam did what he did and later on returned back to Kufa.
36:31
From that moment on battle #2 sophine kicks in while he
36:35
revives the same allegation. You're responsible for the death
36:39
of the man in Medina. Sorry.
36:41
And so the war happens. What makes matters worse is that
36:45
from the members fighting with Imam Ali, they realize that the
36:49
opposition is now raising the Quran and saying let the Quran
36:53
judge, let's not fight anymore because now they see that Imam's
36:56
making much progress. So let's do something quickly
36:59
that Imam's supporters see the Quran and actually become swayed
37:02
by that. And why are we finding someone
37:04
who's saying let the Quran judge us?
37:05
How hard is reformed? They come and they say, Ali,
37:09
we're not going to proceed. And I says, wait, hakum, come
37:12
on. I'm the This is deception.
37:15
Don't let him fool you. They said no.
37:18
Are you serious? You're going to be like that?
37:19
I said no. Among them was Abdulrahman bin
37:21
Mujum. Among them were many others that
37:23
later on were famous names. Interestingly, Abdullah, Ali,
37:28
Bali. A few others actually.
37:31
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And these riff raffs, they were
37:34
with the Imam at first. Suddenly they formed their own
37:38
group. They betrayed him.
37:39
Now imagine you have to deal with people who were once your
37:42
supporters and your current adversaries that still stand.
37:45
Then later on you return back to Kufa because the wars has
37:49
stopped because khawaj is not a problem.
37:51
Nahrawan emerges because the same Khawajor wants your friends
37:54
who are using your own weapons at one point that were used to
37:57
fight the actual enemy of Allah. Now they're using it against
38:00
you. The Imam goes to them and he
38:02
preaches. Guys think it's Akullah.
38:05
They said yeah Ali we can't do this.
38:07
You are wrong Hakim. And so is Mahalia Bahuadra
38:09
against both parties. This is guys.
38:11
This is not right until they committed a murder of one of
38:15
Imam Ali's representatives and his wife and they killed her and
38:19
they threw her body and her child in the river.
38:21
Imam couldn't handle this. Like now it stops and so they
38:24
said to the imam ya Ali this might be a bad war.
38:27
Imam said none from them will survive except 9 and none from
38:31
us will die except nine. They fought exactly.
38:35
Only nine of the Hawaters survived and he just let them
38:38
go. He's dealing with so many civil
38:41
wars and conflicts. I can't handle.
38:43
I just can't. I don't know how anyone can
38:44
process that. The stress levels.
38:46
Yeah. At the same time, this is where
38:48
the discussion of leader and the greatest political man ever
38:51
comes in. There is no economic recession
38:55
that the Muslim Oma is arriving from a financial standpoint such
39:00
that in the last year after Hijra, after the 30, after the
39:04
40th year where the Imam was about to be martyred, there was
39:07
not one person from Beitul mall who was eligible for Sadaka.
39:13
He. Eradicated poverty, he and he
39:16
was the one that said, saying Lokan El fakro Rajulan.
39:21
Had poverty been a man, I would have killed him.
39:23
Well, you did, Yeah, technically speaking, and reports indicate
39:27
Kanata Nas, all people would eat whole wheat bread.
39:34
They all had food and they would sleep under shade.
39:38
Everyone had something to sleep under and they would drink the
39:43
Rufried's River, the inalienable human rights of food, water and
39:48
shelter. Imam Ali took care of it such
39:51
that Kofi Annan, the head of the UN in 2000, comes and makes the
39:54
beautiful statement that the greatest example of the just
39:56
political leader in history is Alibaba Talib.
39:59
I let the Arab nations take him as their role model because who
40:03
can do this with three ongoing civil wars and still managed to
40:07
not tolerate injustice and oppression from a political
40:10
standpoint? His sermon and letter to Malik.
40:13
See the people like you. They're brothers or equals in
40:15
humanity. How are you willing to consider
40:18
this with all that is going on and still be #1 in your
40:22
relationship with Allah, with your family, with the societal
40:26
needs and he's walking in the town and saying anyone needs
40:29
something, I I am here for you. He helps that Lady and she's
40:33
like, I condemn Ali for killing my husband.
40:36
Her husband was probably part of one of the wars that against the
40:40
imam and the imam is quiet. He says ask a lot to forgive him
40:44
then. And then later on, after the
40:46
third day of helping her by delivering her food, they ask
40:50
her, do you know who that man is with you everyday?
40:52
Divilling. That's Eileen himself.
40:54
They're like and I am cursing him in front of his face saying,
40:57
had it not been for Eileen, my husband would still be here and
41:00
I'm condemning him. He didn't do anything.
41:02
So that's who he is. Yeah, that's who he is.
41:04
And. He did all of that whilst
41:05
accountable of his rights. You know that story of the
41:08
candle? I I God that is the the most.
41:11
I can't get my head around it. We all know the story of when
41:14
the man came to visit middle mount Munin and the middle Mount
41:17
Munin was working on his desk with a candle.
41:19
When the man came he said just to say is it about business or
41:22
personal? Is it about the government or is
41:24
it about a personal? But he said no, it's personal,
41:26
it's no problem. He put the candle out.
41:28
He lit a new candle. The man said, why did you do
41:30
that? Because the candle was paid for
41:32
by the state and I cannot be using the, the, the, the
41:37
possessions of the state for my own personal affairs or for for
41:39
a personal conversation. I remember I was speaking to my
41:42
dad about that story years ago. My dad told me, he said this is
41:45
the way we we have a family business.
41:47
He said this is the way we should run our business.
41:49
And small things like that dozens of, you know, thousands
41:52
of years later, thousands of miles away should have
41:54
repercussions. So that when we live our
41:56
day-to-day lives, whether it's in business or in our family
41:58
affairs or in our social affairs with our spouses, with our
42:01
children, we take small examples like that and we apply it to our
42:04
lives. Last question said, because I
42:06
know we've been speaking for a long time, we are perhaps in a
42:09
time where a lot of our listeners Hamdallah, are.
42:12
Maybe you're on Mum. I didn't have it up.
42:14
I can go on forever. I know This is why and I know
42:16
you're on a deadline stage. Otherwise we can go for another
42:18
three or four hours. Charlotte, four months, three or
42:21
four months. Honestly from me last question,
42:25
I'm sure Sage got something to add.
42:26
But you know Hamdallah, a lot of us are on a journey,
42:28
specifically our our listeners. We always engage and you know we
42:32
we are so blessed to have a community which supports us but
42:35
also kind of DMS us a lot and shares their own stories and
42:39
their own kind of issues and and what not.
42:42
A lot of people are trying to find that bridge which will
42:48
permanently connect them to our last panel to Allah.
42:50
Just some will say the hijab is a struggle for me.
42:54
Some will say I have an issue because I have a history with
42:57
the opposite gender. Some will say I'm listening to
42:59
music and I'm I can't get off the addiction.
43:02
How can we use a mirror Mummy Nin as an inspiration,
43:06
specifically in regards to the way he spoke to Alas Palata
43:10
Allah through the multiple idea that we have from Him and things
43:14
like that, so so that our youth in the West today can work on
43:18
removing and and improving their flaws and getting close to Alas
43:21
Palata. I would say when you bring it
43:23
back to my minimum meaning, a major variable that I would say
43:29
leads to the success of any person that aspires to become
43:32
more like him is the genuinity of Imam Aleb.
43:36
Nebilala was very clear and evident.
43:38
He never did anything for his own personal gain or need.
43:41
As you mentioned the story about the candles for example, if we
43:44
can take that and apply it to. I genuinely want to develop my
43:48
relationship with you, Ya Allah. You know earlier we had this
43:51
program about where is the Rahma of Allah.
43:54
Many people will struggle about finding mercy in light of a
43:57
difficult situation. That's not to say that this is a
44:00
bad question to ask. You're asking where, not why.
44:04
Yeah. Where is it?
44:04
I believe it exists, but I don't see it.
44:07
So there's always a genuine inclination in every person's
44:10
heart and in their fitrah to eventually want to see Allah.
44:13
Want to see the truth, Want to see justice.
44:16
Now Imam Adam in his own lines reflects sincerity and
44:21
genuinity. Just look at document he is
44:24
beyond ever having flaws or errors but he doesn't mind
44:28
saying Allah and he says that and he's flawless.
44:37
So whom I now not to come and say Allah.
44:40
I know I have shortcomings but I'm not going to let them set me
44:44
back. Because if I'd even thought of
44:46
flawless as he is, is willing to open his heart to a lot in such
44:50
a matter, then what is expected upon me?
44:53
Let me at least give it a shot, take the step and say yeah a
44:56
lot. I want a relationship with you,
44:58
but I'm going to use the Wassila of Imam to have that bridge as
45:03
you said, to get to my Lord because Ali loves you and you
45:08
love him. That's what Allah says and I
45:13
will give this banner to a man. He loves God and God loves him.
45:24
The Messenger of God also loved him, always advancing, never
45:28
retreating. That next day came and it was
45:31
none other than. When we incorporate that genuine
45:36
and that quality of sincerity, we will definitely build that
45:40
bridge of the Rehman and relationship of Allah.
45:43
It's. Like you scripted and say to you
45:47
proper eloquent guys guy like the definition of personified
45:50
swag. No, honestly.
45:52
Personified what swag say honestly you you exuberate love
45:56
and will liar takes. One to know one.
45:59
Marshall Allah, Mellah, always bless you, saying May Allah.
46:02
Bless you too. I said, you know, my mind went
46:05
to, you know, here we are speaking about the status and
46:07
the character of Imam Ali Ali Salaam.
46:10
And I'm just thinking, you know, we live in the 21st century and
46:13
I still can't comprehend or understand why people choose to
46:18
ignore Imam Ali Allah. And when you have Imam Ali we
46:23
mentioned earlier in the conversation, born in the cabin,
46:26
raised by Rasul Allah, you know arguably people say he was the
46:31
first young one to accept Islam. We all know he believed in
46:34
Tauheid way before he declared his you know, belief in La Ilah
46:39
Al Allah, Hamad Rasul Allah. On top of that we always hear
46:42
Rasul Allah when in the 21st century we have easy access to
46:45
the Internet, easy access to books from all sects, from all
46:49
beliefs that say when Kuntumaullah Ali, Ali Al Haq
46:55
well Haqqumah Ali. Wherever you see the truth you
46:58
find Ali. You know the position of Ali is
47:01
like Harunas to Musa or you know there is so much things where
47:05
these are coming from the mouth of Rasul Allah, Muhammad,
47:09
Sallallahu Ali, Ali Wasalam. Why would anyone ignore Rasul
47:14
Allah? If we say Rasul Allah as our
47:15
prophet, the final messenger chosen by Allah, Subhanawat
47:19
Allah, why would we go against the very man we claim to be
47:23
represents Allah? Yeah, I don't know what to say
47:26
to that one. It's such a because it's so
47:28
obvious. I would say it's ignorance, but
47:30
I don't know because when you have.
47:32
Access to all. It's intellectual oppression.
47:35
When you lose someone like Imam Ali, you lost everything because
47:39
you lose the inheritor of the Prophet.
47:40
When you lose Imam Ali, you lose the culmination of his
47:44
sacrifices, the Quran. You best understand it through
47:47
Imam Ali. I would venture to say that I'm
47:52
not going to put blame on people.
47:54
I don't think people maliciously from a lying in tension
47:57
deliberately avoiding who would, but they're definitely are
48:01
agendas and power hungry figures throughout history that have
48:04
tried their hardest to suppress the significance of Imam and
48:09
Mimamini. You look at famous books that
48:13
have a compilation of a hadith only about an odd 70 only from
48:17
Imam like he lived 30 years with the Prophet, he doesn't have
48:20
more than 70 and these are canonical works.
48:23
There's clearly a censorship going on and when you have
48:26
empires and governments that hated the Imam, of course not
48:30
going to tolerate publications of books.
48:33
A brief example, and this is a sad one honestly.
48:36
In the Hakim El Mansour de la Niri, the one responsible for
48:40
killing Imam Asad Saddam Ali Hadi, he administered for a
48:44
government that has a constitution in his lifetime and
48:48
he ordered one of the largest judges, Malek Bananas, the
48:52
founder of the Malek school of thought, essentially to make a
48:55
constitution that was accessible to people.
48:58
He would say well make it accessible to them.
49:01
Hence he wrote the MWAPA. When he writes the MWAPA he says
49:04
on one condition though don't include a hadith from Imam
49:08
Hadith Nibitaudiba have one hadith from So what am I going
49:13
to do when I have a government that says hey don't don't
49:15
publish his books. One of the one of our Grand
49:18
Ullama Ayatollah Shaheed say Muhammad Bakra Sadar.
49:22
My father mentions when he they were younger they were on his
49:25
taklid back in the day in the 70s he says and brings it more
49:29
close to home when he mentions that the Baptist regime at the
49:32
time banned are having his book at any home.
49:37
If you were caught holding holding his men haja sada Hain
49:40
for a comma Phil and rulings that's you were you were alleged
49:45
you were bound to be imprisoned for that one because he this
49:47
guy's against the government he's against this and so my
49:50
father would say whenever we want just to learn what his
49:52
ruling is on Ms. Edit we would have to dig it out from the
49:56
backyard because that's where we would have to hide it.
49:58
I'll block just to learn the Phil of Baharana Jasa.
50:01
Now we have his paddle all accessible here with our
50:03
libraries. But but The thing is this, that
50:06
was a circumstance at the time. Now imagine go back to Harun
50:11
Rashid Abbasi had Judge Benoussafa Dakhvi most of the
50:15
day. One they would not tolerate a
50:17
person naming their kid. I didn't, let alone publishing a
50:21
book with his Paula and in his merits, for example.
50:23
So it's the consistent effort of evil governments, regimes,
50:28
authorities. But even then, somehow, you
50:31
know, Ali still continues to shine.
50:32
It's. Still shine through.
50:33
All of them. It's.
50:35
It's amazing. And they still all prey towards
50:37
the direction. Of the birds of the camera.
50:41
Camera. It's a reminder for everyone.
50:44
I just want to talk about this as well.
50:46
You know, it's a beautiful crack, this crack on the cab.
50:48
I say, isn't it? Isn't this like the?
50:50
Marking is there. It's like it's in your face.
50:52
I don't know how else to say it. And what else do you want?
50:55
The The interesting thing is, historically speaking, despite
50:59
the Kaaba being demolished a number of times, Hadjaj
51:02
demolished it and Yazid demolished it.
51:07
When they were demolished, they rebuilt the Kaaba a number of
51:10
times and they had to fix it up throughout the years.
51:13
Naturally, for some reason, no marking on a Rocknelli Amani,
51:18
the southern corner of the Kaaba, remains a testament to
51:22
somehow this area opened up and then somehow this area closed
51:26
up. So.
51:28
Ajib it's it's you can't, you can't deny anything Marsha, you
51:32
can't deny Ali. Ali was was there and he will
51:35
remain until the end of time inshaallah.
51:37
And what was Ali will remain Ali and will be Ali when Imam Ali
51:41
returns. Habibi just one observation if
51:46
we want to just summarize this, don't look at history, we
51:49
mentioned books a lot. Don't look at books history.
51:51
Just think of terms hak you said it earlier.
51:55
Ali Imam Ali, Muhammad Ali. Fatima Ali Baddar Ali.
52:02
Haber Ali Honda. Ali Ohod Ali.
52:05
Her name Ali with truth. Truth is with him knowledge.
52:10
Ali El Ali Tohid Ali Hassan Hussein Ali Al Batul Ali.
52:16
Where do you want to go from this?
52:18
Just think of these terms. Which one maximizes all of them?
52:21
Ali Victory in Baddar through a mirror, mini conduct through a,
52:25
through A and the reviver of the message of Islam in the 21st
52:31
century today will only remain through the Shia of the.
52:44
Thank you so much. My honour man will always.
52:47
Give you the opportunity to continue the Vicar of Manin.
52:52
Allah, right here. You know, at the beginning of
52:56
the conversation, I I thought that he asked how I was doing.
52:59
I said I'm excited because I know this conversation is going
53:02
to take us. And.
53:03
I don't want to turn. I know.
53:07
I know we have to. Go I just a laughing from you
53:10
guys. I mean, I'm sure everyone at
53:12
home will agree this has been one of the most exciting
53:14
conversations and there's like a 99% chance you probably already
53:19
follow, said on Instagram. I wanted to touch on this.
53:22
And yeah, I mean, look, I'm just very quickly Insta a little bit.
53:25
For those who don't know, is your your project Marshall Law
53:28
and brother? Mustafa is still brother.
53:29
Most of us so far, so great contributor to it.
53:34
We have another admin, brother Ayla Khani and I'm just someone
53:36
that comes every now and then does live stream so but I didn't
53:40
pay you for that. Shout out, by the way.
53:42
No I mean look said We've as long as I've had Instagram I
53:45
think the first Cheat I page I followed it and stuff and it
53:47
will always remain that way. Thank you fans honestly and we
53:51
we thank you for your work and you know you now like your name
53:54
on Instagram is learn Shia Islam.
53:56
But I think for all of us, that is our goal, Inshallah, even if
53:58
we are. And I commend the both of you
54:00
because there's so much demand, very little supply to present
54:05
the way of life of the Imams of Ahlidbait Islam.
54:08
Ahlidbait in a digestible aesthetic manner.
54:12
We go through the efforts of trying not to even include
54:15
English comprehensive words fairly surely anymore.
54:18
We want people to understand what they're saying.
54:20
So when we go and translate things and we present them, we
54:24
make sure, hey, if you're just some person that is not familiar
54:27
with this worldview, will you digest this?
54:30
Will you comprehend this? And as soon as we did it,
54:33
Hamdulillah feedback came in. Thank God there's a large
54:37
substantial following. But that just goes to show that
54:40
there's so much demand and very little supply.
54:42
And I can definitely say that part of those who are giving
54:45
supply in this area are you guys with Aftermath as well?
54:48
With. The topics that are done in such
54:51
an informal semi professional, but this is how you do it in the
54:55
21st century. Today the member has evolved.
54:58
Definitely Today Podcast is 1 version of that.
55:00
Like you say, thank you. Very kind.
55:03
Of you, I mean. Shallow.
