The controversy surrounding the idea that Islam is a source of blessings and honor is a secret of how Allah creates people's actions and power. The Qoverah claims that men are free to acquire their actions according to the power given by God, and that men are free to acquire their actions according to the power given by God. The Sufismist's de downgrade of men's good and evil actions by god is a sign of faith, and the importance of strong faith in one's life is highlighted. The transcript describes the history of the S beforehand, including the S beforehand, and highlights the importance of having a strong faith in one's life and family.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			So today, I wanted to read from the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Kashel Mahjub again,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			the 8th chapter with regards to the imams
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			of the that come from the
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			from the
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			family of the Rasul
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			And whether a person knows it or doesn't
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			or understands it or doesn't, the family of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			the prophet
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			who we are commanded to respect and love
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			and honor,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			because of our love and respect of honor
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			of the messenger of Allah
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			who we love and respect and honor because
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			of the love and respect and honor of
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			Allah Ta'ala the that Allah Ta'ala who made
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			Jannah haram on anyone
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			who says,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			other than Muhammad
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			not just from this Ummah but from the
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			time of Sayna Adam alayhis salaam including all
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			of the and
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			including
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			all of their followers until the.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			That
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			commanded us to respect him, commanded us to
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			respect his family as well for his sake.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			May
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Allah be pleased with them.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			And,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			you know, this doesn't mean, any excess in
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			which we say, well,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			because of this, everything that someone from the
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			messenger
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			family does
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			is halal or good or that, you know,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			they have to be our political leaders or
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			they have to,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			you know, lead the prayer every single time
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			or that everyone else in Islam is a
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			second class citizen other than them. This is
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			not what that's about.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			Rather,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			the love of the family of the prophet
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			is cherishing him in them, that they are
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			a living piece of of the Rasool
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			who's still with us and the living reminder
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			of him with us. And when someone reminds
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			you of someone you love, you love them.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			And this is why
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			who during a drought in his time,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			He commanded the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			he commanded the,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			the companions of the messenger of Allah
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			to go out into the desert and pray
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			the drought prayer.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			And he stood to saydna
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			Abbas radiahu ta'ala who in front of the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			the congregation
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			and
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			he called on Allah
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			Despite
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			by the consensus of the
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			he stood say have that he has the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			who has a higher than
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			who accepted Islam on the day of the
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
			and was the last of the who asked
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			Allah,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			this is the closest relative of your Rasul
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			for his sake and through him for the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			sake of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			Wasallam. Have mercy on your creation and bring
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			down the reins.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And, far from being just a token of
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Barakah, the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			wasallam,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			along with the immense Barakah and blessings that
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			they have with them.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			Also, Allah ta'ala open their hearts to carry
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			the the the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			knowledge both inwardly and outwardly of the deen,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			both in the law and in,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			spiritual matters to the point that many of
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			our great in the past and present are
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			are from the of the
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			and
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			their lineage amongst us is a source of
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			blessings, and it's a source of of of
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			of of honor from Allah to Allah to
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			us and it wards off many calamities and
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			many,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:37
			difficulties
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			and it opens many doors for good and
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			both worldly and otherworldly.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			So it's important to understand
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			what the value of them is and what
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			their or
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			their, their their leadership and their high rank
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			amongst the Muslims,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			is both in terms of the,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			both in terms of the the the matters
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			that are spiritual
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			as well as the the matters that are,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			worldly with regards to the of the prophet
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:10
			Hassan.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			He was profoundly versed in Sufism.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			He said, by the way of precept, see
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			that you guard your hearts for god knows
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			your secret thoughts.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			Quote, unquote, guarding the heart consist
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			not in turning to others than Allah Ta'ala,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			consistent not turning to other than Allah Ta'ala
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			and in keeping one secret thoughts from disobedience
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			to the almighty.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			When the got the upper hand and the
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			doctrine of rationalism became widely spread, Hassan al
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Basri wrote to Hassan bin Ali
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			begging for guidance and asking him to state
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			his opinion on the perplexing
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			on the perplexing subject of predestination
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			and on the dispute whether men have any
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			power to act or
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			meaning whether men create their own actions or
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			does God create people's actions. So this is
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			a this is a early
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			controversy,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			or shall we say,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:05
			heresy,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			which, came up in the,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			generation of
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			the Tabireen.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			The people of Jabbar and Khadar were 2
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			groups of Mubtadi'a,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			2 groups of impious and reprehensible innovation.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			The group of Jabar were the Jabariyah.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			They said that every
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			action is so completely created by Allah ta'ala
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			that there's no use in you trying. If
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			you're written for the fire, you're going to
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			the fire and and there's no use in
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			trying. And if you're written for Jannah, you're
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			going to Jannah anyway, so there's no use
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			in trying.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			And the the heretical sect of the Qadariya
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			said no. You create your own actions
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			independently.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			Allah is not the creator of your own
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			actions
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			and, you know, you can listen to the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			Aqidah Taghawiya
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			lecture series in great detail if you wanna
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			have a big out laid explanation for this.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			This may not be the time for it,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			and we may not have time for it
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			now even if we wish to to discuss
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			it. But,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			suffice to say
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			warned the people of the Ummah not to
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			delve into this issue too deeply.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Why? Because in it is a secret
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			of how does the creation work. The question
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			asks,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			how is it that Allah creates people's actions
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			and has power over them but still ask
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			them for their account and keeps them responsible
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			for those actions?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			And, the the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, his
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			was essentially what the Quran says,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			that that Allah Ta'ala is not to be
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			asked why he does what he does or
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			how why he does how what he does,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			how he does it, even though he has
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			the right to ask everyone of the creation.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			So we know from the text of the
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			Quran that Allah does what he wants and
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			we know we know that he has the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			right to ask people about it,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			and these hair splitting controversies
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			with regards to creed,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			he did not permit the,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			all in sundry of the Ummah to engage
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			in them.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			So
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:00
			the the Qadariya,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			who,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			essentially,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			include the Mu'tazila,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			and the Mu'tazila are a group of deviants
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			that will start to boycott the the the
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			majlis of Al Hasan al Basri in Basra.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			The Qadariya,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			they get the upper hand in Basra and
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			they spread
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			and they're they they ride a very high
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			wave in Iraq
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			until the ulama of the sunnah will refute
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:23
			them,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			very completely. People like,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			people like Imam Ahmed Benhambel, people like Imam
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			Khazali, people like Imam Abu Hassanal Ashari, Rahimuhullah
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			Ta'ala,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			and many others after them.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			So when this controversy
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			this controversy first starts,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			showing its,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			showing itself,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			Hassan al Basri wrote to say that Hassan
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			Min Ali, the grandson of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:47
			alaihi wasallam,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			begging for guidance and asking him to state
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			his opinion on the perplexing subject of predestination
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			and on the dispute whether men have any
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			power to act or not.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			Hassan bin Ali
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			replied
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			that in his opinion, those who did not
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			believe in predestination or qadr of men's good
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			and evil actions by god were infidels. They're
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			kafar. They're they're they're out of the fold
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			of Islam. And those who imputed their sins
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			to god were miscreants,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			meaning for they were they were they were
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			they were sinners
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			and misguided people,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			I e the Qadir is the Qadir is
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			they denied the divine providence and the Jabaris
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			impute their sins to God. Hence, men are
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			free to acquire their actions according to the
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			power given them by God and thus our
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			religion takes the middle course between
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			complete free will in creating one's own deeds
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			and hard predestination
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			in consigning the consequences of one deeds completely
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			to Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			The Sheikh,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			Ali Hajwair
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			says,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			I have read in the anecdotes that when
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			Hassan bin Ali was seated at the door
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			of his house in Kufa,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			a Bedouin came to him and reviled him
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			and his father and his mother,
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Al Hassan and who is his mother? His
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			mother said the Fatima radiAllahu ta'ala Anha, the
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			daughter of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			wa sallam. The
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			The one he said about,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			about
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			whom
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			Fatima
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Fatima is like a part of me.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:17
			So
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			that someone would revile her.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			So Bedouin
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			came to came up and reviled him and
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			his father and his mother,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			Al Hassan
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			stood up and said, oh Bedouin, perhaps you're
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			hungry or thirsty. What ails you? The Bedouin
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			took no heed but continued to abuse him.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			Al Hassan ordered his slave to bring a
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			purse of silver and gave it to the
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			fellow saying, oh Bedouin,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			excuse me for there is nothing else in
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			the house. Had there been more, I should
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			not have grudged it to you.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			Upon hearing this, the Bedouin
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			exclaimed, I bear witness that you are the
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			grandson of the messenger of Allah ta'ala. I
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			came here to make a trial of your
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			mildness.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			Such are the true saints and sheikhs who
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			care not whether they are praised or blamed
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			and listen calmly to abuse.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Give that coolness inside of our hearts that
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			we can,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			tolerate what people say,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			by by not being affected by their praise
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			or by their blame,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			so much that it changes us inside. It's
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			a sign of true faith.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			Allah, I'll be pleased with them. They say
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:18
			that who
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			was so generous that he had a government
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			stipend that was affixed to him, and he
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			would spend it all,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			very quickly, just giving it away to people.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			And he would then live for the rest
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			of the for the rest of the year
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			on meager means sometimes having to take loans
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			to get by, until the next stipend came,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			then he would pay his loans off, and
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			then very quickly, he would deplete all of
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			his all of his, money just because of
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			the the sheer amount of generosity he had.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			Our our own of
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			our Madrasah,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Milana Saeed, Mahmoud
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			give him a long life and protect him
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			and give in his work and and give,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			him in his service to the Jamia Madaniya
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			that we studied
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			in. He said the founder of Jamia Madaniya,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			his father, Sayed Hamid Mia, the youngest of
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			the Khulafa of Hazrat
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			Mana Hussein Ahmed Madani, also Sayed.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			Both of them Sayed.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			He said that his father was such a
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			generous man.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			His father was such a generous man that
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			everyone would come and cry to him. I'm
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			in debt. I need this. My daughter needs
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			to get married. I have to pay my
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			medical bills, blah blah blah. And he would
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			his heart would break, and he would go
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and borrow money from people because he's a
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			respected man. He would borrow money to from
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			people and give them the money and not
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			know how he's gonna pay it back. And
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			he said that he had a huge,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			1,000 bead that,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			that he would wrap around his body, and
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			he would walk back and forth in the
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			courtyard making,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:45
			and asking
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			to open a way for him to pay
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			the debts back.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			And that's how he would get by. And
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			would, you know, send someone who would send
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			some money from here, from there, and he
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			would pay pay it back.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			But that's a superhuman type of generosity. If
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			one of us were to do, it would
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			impugn our deen.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			But this is a barakat. I've noticed this
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			from the people of the of the prophet
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			that whoever wants to accuse them of whatever
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			they want to accuse them, no one can
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			ever accuse them of of of not being
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			generous. They're the most generous of people. May
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Allah
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			give this ummah and give give give this
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			ummah from their generosity
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			and give them much more in return in
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			this world than the hereafter.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			Saidna Hussein Bin Ali.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:31
			Saidna
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			Hussein He's the martyr of Karbala. Sorry.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			Abu
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			is Abu Mohammed al Hassan Abu Abdul Hassan.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Abu Abdul Hassan, he is the martyr of
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			Karbala, and all the Sufis agreed that he
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			was right.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			He's the murderer of Karbala, and all the
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			Sufis are agreed that he was in the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			right. And so you'll see, some historians and,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			some some Hadithun and Fukaha.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			They'll kind of waffle a little bit. I
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			don't wanna disrespect them, but they'll kind of
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			waffle a little bit about, you know, Hussein.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			You'll find every now and then someone who
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			disagrees with him or tries to shift blame
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			equally or or or partially.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			But from the Sufis, from from from the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			the the the people of
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			and the people of,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			you will not find to a man, you
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			will not find one of them that except
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:20
			for he.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			He says that saying Hussein
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			who is in the right, and,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			there's a great lesson in it. If the
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			the the pious indeed,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			the the spiritual,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			masters and the spiritual,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			the the the spiritual leaders of this.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			They have such a strong affinity toward him.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			There's there's a great there's a great
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			in it for people not to indulge in
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			in, any sort of, like,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			historical revisionism or whatever,
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			with regards to
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			the the the the the tragedies that befell
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			the of the prophet
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			because the of the to a man, every
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			single one of them
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			agreed that he was in the right.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			So long as the truth was apparent, he
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			followed it. But when it was lost, he
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			drew the sword and never rested until he
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			sacrificed his dear life for god's sake.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			As long as the truth was apparent, apparent
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			not in that he knew what the truth
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			was or didn't know, he knew what the
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			truth was. Rather apparent as in as
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			in it was,
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			it had power over its enemies, meaning the
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			people of the truth were in in power.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			As long as the truth was apparent, he
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			followed it, but when it was lost, he
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			drew his sword and never rested until he
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			sacrifices dear life for god's sake.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			And this is something that happened, Rasulullah
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			alaihi wasalam. It comes in the that he
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			was shown the martyrdom of saying that Hussein
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			vision and the place where he would be
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			martyred and he wept for his martyrdom.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And this is one of the most shameful
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			chapters in the history of the of the
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			of the prophet that
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:54
			that he
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			that that that he he was he was
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			killed like that treacherously,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			by the people who said And
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			it's something that traumatizes the Ummah to this
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08
			day.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:09
			And,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			Alama
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			Alama Tubnu Taymiyyah
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			who's a great lover of the prophet
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			and a great lover of his family.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			And people don't know about that
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			because they they,
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			they they they involve themselves so heavily in
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			his controversial
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			opinions,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			but they never they never know that that
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			if you look in
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			the Fatwa and the Fatwa
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			of Ivantemia,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			the Fatwa with regards to spending on your
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			family on 10th of Ashura.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			He gives a very long tabseerah about what
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			the hikmah of Allah to Allah may have
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:47
			been
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			in in,
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			in causing this thing to happen.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			And the summary one of the summaries that
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			he he comes up with is that that
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			the Hassan and Hussain, because they were so
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			young,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			they're so young when Badr happened and and
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			and happened. They're unable to participate in all
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			the major,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			battles and and all the major victories that
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			the Muslims scored that Allah
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			put them through difficulty because they say
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			was
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			poisoned,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			silently in Medina by the by the henchmen
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			of Banu Maya,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			and, Hussein Al Hussein was,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			was was treacherously killed,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			in the, in the plain of Karbala.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			He didn't go there to fight against Banu
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			Umayyah. They killed him treacherously,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			and in a dishonorable way.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			That that the reason the hikmah of Allah
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			in those things happening is so that they
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			go through all this difficulty so Allah can
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			raise their ranks so it's equivalent with that
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			of the other companions of the messenger of
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in Jannah,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			because they are his beloved grandsons and he
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			the that he wanted them to be,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			close to him,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			in in this world and the hereafter.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			I say that the fact that the family
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:02
			of the prophet
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			endured so much
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			disrespect and harm from the,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			of, of of of Islam,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			and from the miscreants of the that
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			those people will still go to Jannah, but
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			they still give such a hard time to
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			sallam. I say that the fact that they
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			even stayed in Islam,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			despite all of that difficulty and they have
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			so much love for
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			and that Islam's word should be made supremely
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			that to this day,
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			the people, the family of the prophet
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			are and through history, they are the flag
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			bearers and the standard bearers of Islam
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			in in in in knowledge and in piety
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			and in vigor and to so off and
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			jihadfi sabiullah
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			and in serving, the the ummah of the
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. I say the fact
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			that they're even still Muslims much less,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			so, avid in their support for the deen
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			that this is not nothing else except for
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			a sign of the truth of the message
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			sallam
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			that in his family,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			is imbibed such a a a love for
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			Allah and his rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			that their spiritual power is so great that
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			they can take these and drink these tragedies
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			inside of them and suppress them. And their
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			love for Allah and his rasul, sallallahu alaihi
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			wa sallam, and his deen are so much
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			that they, that they're able to still go
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			on and still be excited about the deen
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			and still do so much more for the
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			sake of Allah.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam distinguished
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			Hussain
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			by many tokens of favor. Thus,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			Omar
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:34
			who
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			relates that one day he saw the messenger
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam crawling on
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			his knees while Hussein rode on his back
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			holding onto a string,
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			on the other end of which was the
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's mouth. Omar
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			said, what an excellent,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			what an excellent ride you have, oh Abu
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			Abdullah.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			And the messenger
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			of
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			Allah replied, what an excellent rider he is,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			Yeah. Omar.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			Omar who
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			was praising the prophet
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			and the prophet
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			was praising Hussein
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			It is recorded that Hussain
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			who said, your religion is the kindest of
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			brethren toward you because a man's salvation consists
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			in following religion and his perdition,
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			lies in disobeying it.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			Ali bin Hussein bin Ali called Zain al
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Abidine, the son of Hussein
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			He said that the most blessed man in
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			this world and in the next is he
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			who when he is pleased is not led
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			by his pleasure into wrong and when he
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			is angry, is not carried by his angers
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			beyond the bounds of the right.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			This is the character of those who have
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			attained perfect rectitude.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			Kamal Mustaqiman,
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			the people who have
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			attained perfect perfect
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:48
			rectitude.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			Hussein used to call him Ali the younger,
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			When
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			when his children were killed at Karbala,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			there was none left except for to
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			take care of the women, and he was
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			ill. The other thing is he was just
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			a child at the time. The men were
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			all massacred at Karbala.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			Was just a child at the time,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			And he became the the the of of
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			of all of his of the Mahalim women
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			of the family of the prophet
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			The women were brought unveiled on camels to
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			Yazid Bin Maawiya. And,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			at this point, the author of the
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			utters a curse on on,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			on Yazid.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			He says, may god curse him, but not
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			his father. Some of our will
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			probably object to this,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			but,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			suffice to say that that,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			the author of the kash,
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			was not a big fan of Yazid at
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			all, even though he's very careful to not
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			allow his anger and hatred for,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			Yazid to,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:53
			dim,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			his respect for, who
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			was a companion of the messenger of Allah
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			But
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:02
			the aside,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			uh-uh someone said to Ali how
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			are you this morning, oh Ali and members
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			of the House of Mercy?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			Ali Zainal Abidine replied,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			we are in the same position amongst our
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			people as the people of Moses among pharaoh's
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			folk who slaughtered their sons and their women
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			alive.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			We do not know morning from evening on
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			account of the reality of our affliction.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			The author is this is a part that
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			that,
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			Nicholson, he
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			he kind of abridges. He doesn't translate. He
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			says that the author relates that the well
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			known story of Hisham bin Abdul Malik,
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			the the the Khalifa of
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			Banu Umea and his encounter with Ali Bin
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			Hussein and Makkam Karama. How the caliph who
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			desired to kiss the black stone but was
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			unable to reach it, saw the crowd immediately
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			make way for
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			and retired to a respectful distance.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			How man of Syria asked the Khalifa to
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			tell him the name of this person who
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			was held in such great veneration
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			and how Hisham feigned ignorance for fear that
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			his partisan should be shaken in allegiance to
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:11
			himself
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			and how the poet Farazdak stepped forward and
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			recited in the sim in splendid,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			sorry,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:21
			beginning,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			This is he whose footprint is known to
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			the valley of Mecca. He whom the temple
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			knows and the unhallowed territory and the holy
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:31
			ground.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			This is the son of the best of
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			all the servants of god. This is the
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			pious, the elect, the pure, and the eminent.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			So Nicholson writes that,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			Nicholson writes that 25 verses of poetry are
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			are mentioned, and he doesn't translate all of
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			them.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			What would he know the joy of of
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			of the the
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			of the the righteous?
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			He he,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			says that Hisham was enraged.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			Hisham,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			the the Khalifa Hisham bin Abdul Malik was
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			enraged and threw Farazdah into prison.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			Ali sent to him a purse containing
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			12,000 dirhams,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			but the poet returned it with the message
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			that he had,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			uttered uttered many lies in the panegyrics,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			meaning those poetry that poetry he said in
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			praise of princes and governors,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			which he was accustomed to compose for money
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:23
			and that
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			he had addressed the verses to Ali as
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			a expiation for his sins in that respect
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			and as a proof for his
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			affection toward the house of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			So the poet Farazdak,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			uh-uh, when the Khalifa feigned ignorance not knowing
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			who Alizaid al Abidine is, trying
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			to, through that ignorance, show that, oh, this
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			is person is not that important because I
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			don't know him. The poet Farazdak
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			stood forward and he uttered 25 verses in
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			praise of alizaynu al Abidine, which got him
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			thrown into jail.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			And when,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			alizain al Abidine heard about that, he sent
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			him a purse with 12,000 dirhams.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			And the the poet returned it and said
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			that the reason I said these, verses in
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:05
			your praise,
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			is I knew that that this would be,
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			difficult, politically harmful for me. But I said
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			them because I spent so much of my
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			life composing
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			hollow
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			poetry in praise of
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			the profligate princes and and and wealthy,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			and governors, and I wanted to say a
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			word of praise in truth for the oliya
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			of Allah ta'ala in order to make up
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			for my sins.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			Ali, however,
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			begged to be excused from being taken back
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			whatever he had given,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			and Farazdak at last consented to receive the
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			money.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			So there again, you see the, the
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:41
			generosity
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			of of the the imams of the Ahlulbayt
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			Abu Jafar, Mohammed bin Ali, Bin Al Hussein,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			Al Bakr. This is this is the son
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			of Alizin Labadin,
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:58
			the, Sheikh Mohammed bin Mohammed Al Bakr.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			Some say that,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			his nickname,
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			or name of honor, his was Abu Abdullah.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			His nickname was Al Baqir, the one who
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			rips things apart.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			He was distinguished for his knowledge of the
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			abstruse sciences
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			and his subtle indications as to the meaning
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			of the Quran, his subtle tafasir of the
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			Quran.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			It is related that on one occasion, a
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			king wished to destroy to him.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			A king that wished to destroy him summoned
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			him to his presence.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:25
			When
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			appeared, the king begged his pardon and bestowed
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			gifts upon him and dismissed him courteously.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			On being asked why he had acted in
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			this manner, the king replied, when he came
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			in, I saw 2 lions, 1 on his
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			right hand and 1 on his left who
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			threatened to destroy me. Should I attempt to
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			do him any harm? And his explanation of
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			the verse, whosoever believes in Tahut,
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:51
			where whosoever believes in the this, believes in
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			Tahut and disbelieves in Allah.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			Bakr said, anything that diverts you from the
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			contemplation of the truth is.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			One of his intimate friends relates that when
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			a portion of the night had passed, Al
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Bakr had finished his litanies
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			and his his zikr and he used to
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			cry aloud to god. Oh my god and
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			oh my lord, night has come and the
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			power of monarchs has ceased and the stars
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			are shining in the sky and all mankind
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			are asleep and silent and have gone to
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			rest and shut their doors and set guards
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			to watch over them And those who desired
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			anything from them have forgotten their business. Oh,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			Allah, you are the living, the lasting, the
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			seeing, and the knowing.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			Sleep and slumber cannot overtake you. He who
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			does not acknowledge that you are such as
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			I have described is unworthy of your bounty.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			Oh, you whom no thing
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			withholds from any other thing, whose eternity is
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			not impaired by day and night,
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			whose doors of mercy are open to all
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			who call upon you, and whose entire treasures
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			are lavished on those who praise you.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			You do not ever turn away a beggar
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			nor any creature in the earth or in
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			the heaven can prevent the true believer who
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			implores you from gaining access to your court.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			Oh, my lord. When I remember death and
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			the grave and the reckoning,
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			how can I take joy in this world?
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			Therefore, since I acknowledge you to be 1,
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			I beseech you to give me peace in
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			the hour of death without torment and pleasure
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			in the hour of reckoning without punishment.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Give it to all of us,
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			Amin.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			Give reward to the people who even taught
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			us these beautiful duas and these beautiful words
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:35
			and thoughts. Abu Mohammed Jafar bin Sa Mohammed
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Sadiq.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			So this is Abu Mohammed Jafar Sadiq,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			the son of Muhammad Al Bakr.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			He is celebrated amongst the Sufi shaves for
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			the subtlety of his discourse and his acquaintance
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			with spiritual truths,
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			and he has written famous books in explanation
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			of Sufism.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			He's also his name comes in the of
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			the
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			It is related that he said whoever knows
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			god turns his back on all else.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			The Adif, the one who knows God turns
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			his back on other than God and is
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			cut off from worldly things because
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			his knowledge is pure,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			pure,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			pure, pure, nakala, negation of other than him
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			other than
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			him in as much as Nascent's forms
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			part of his knowledge.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			Knowledge forms part of his Nascent's.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			Therefore, the gnostic is separated from
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			is separated from mankind
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			and from, thought of them and he's joined
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			to god. Quote, unquote, other has no place
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			to exist in his heart that he should
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			pay any heed to them and their existence
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			has no worth for him that he should
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			fix the remembrance of them in his mind.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			And it is related that he said there
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			is no right service without repentance because god
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			has put repentance before service
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:56
			and has said those who repent and serve.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			Quran Surah 9,
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			aiah 113.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			Repentance or Tawba is the first of the
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			stations in the path and service is the
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:06
			last.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			When Allah mentioned the disobedient, he called them
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			to repentance
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			and said, repent to Allah ta'ala altogether.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			But when he mentioned the mess messenger of
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he referred to
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			his
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			or servantship and he said, he revealed to
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			his servant that which he revealed.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			I have read in the anecdotes that Dawud
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			Iftai who is also another great, sheikh of
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			the tariqa and his name comes and appears
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			in the silsu of the the Qadir.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			The I've read in the anecdotes that the
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			sheikh Dawud Tawe came to Jafar as Sadiq,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			rahimahumullah
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			Tabarak Wa Ta'ala and said, oh, son of
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			counsel me for my mind is darkened.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			Oh, son of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			Alaihi Wasallam, counsel me for my mind is
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			darkened. Jafar radiAllahu anhu or Rahimullah ta'ala replied,
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			oh Abu Suleiman, you are the zahid and
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			the ascetic of our time.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			What need do you have for counsel from
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			me?
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			He answered, oh, son of the messenger of
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, your family are superior
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			to all mankind and it is
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:23
			resurrection, that at the resurrection, my grandsire will
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			lay hold on me saying, why did you
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			not fulfill the obligation to follow in my
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:27
			steps?
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			This is not a matter that depends on
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			authentic and sure affinity to the prophet sallallahu
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			alaihi wa sallam, meaning it doesn't
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			matter on your,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			on your lineage, but on good conduct in
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			the presence of the truth. Meaning
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			began to weep and exclaimed, oh my lord
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			god, if one whose clay is molded from
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			the water of prophecy,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			to Islam and whose grandfather is the messenger
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam and his
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			mother is Fatima the virgin,
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			uh-uh, Batul. If someone,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			such a one is distracted by doubts,
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			who am I that I should be pleased
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			with my dealings toward you?
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			One day, Ja'far said to one of his
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			freed slaves, come. Let us take a pledge
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			that whoever amongst us shall gain deliverance on
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			the day of judgment will intercede for all
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:15
			the rest.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			His freed slaves said, oh, son of the
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, how
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			can you have need for our intercession since
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			your grandfather will intercede for all of mankind?
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			Replied, my actions are such that I shall
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			be ashamed to look at my grandfather in
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			the face in the last day.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			To see one's fault is a quality of
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			perfection and is characteristic of those who are
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			established in the divine presence whether they be
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			prophets, saints, or apostles.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:41
			The messenger
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:42
			of
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			Allah said, when god wishes a man well,
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			he gives him insight to his own faults.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			Whoever bows his head with humility like a
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			servant, god will exalt him in both worlds.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			If this is the state
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			of, then you see in him also a
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			model for the people who are from the
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			Ahlulbayt of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			And if,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			you see in the other mashaikh,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			a a a model, like, Dawud Uta, you
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			see what the the the the model is
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			for addressing and for dealing and talking to
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			and loving and revering the Ahlul Bayt of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That Dawudu
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			Ta'i
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			despite being
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			despite being
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			from
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			from the noble men of the Arabs,
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			despite from being the low noble lineages of
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			the Arabs. You see the humility with which
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			he, spoke to,
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			say the Jafar al Sadiq and referred to
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			him as the grandson of the messenger
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			wa sallam, and how beholden they were that
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			that that this person's,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			great grandfather and his ancestor will one day
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			be the Shafi'ul Umam, he will be the
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			the the the the the intercessors
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			intercessor not just for this ummah, but for
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			all of the nations of the earth. Allah
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			give us from their addab. Allah give us
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			from from from their their their qualities and
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			from their merits. You see
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			is a great grandson from
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			his father's side of, of
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			Said Ali and Saidafatima,
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:10
			and the prophet
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			And from his mother's side, his mother is
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			uh-uh, the daughter of Al Qasim bin Mohammed
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			bin Abi Bakr. So he is at the
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			same time,
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			called the Majma Al Bahrain, the meeting of
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			the 2 oceans that in him meets the
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			lineage of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			wa sallam
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			and, saying Abu Bakr Siddiq
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			and and he his his his
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:34
			his,
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			high station amongst the people of Islam and
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40
			from amongst the people of the tariqa is
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			universally recognized.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			But then, again, see how how much, humility
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			he has and Allah, if he wishes well
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			for him, he makes that person beholden to
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			his own faults.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			That that that sheikh was so beholden to
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			his own faults that despite having
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57
			next nothing
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			faults that are imperceivable by sinners like ourselves,
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			how preoccupied he was with his own faults.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			It's a it's a sign the shayef was
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			saying is is a sign of the perfection
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:06
			of his.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:07
			Allah
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			give us from what he gave them and
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			Allah give us because of their love
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			another chance to make repentance and to walk
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			the path of righteousness before we leave from
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			this world.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			And Allah,
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			you know, give us their intercession on the
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			day of judgment and give us the intercession
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			of the messenger
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			on the day of judgment despite the fact
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:28
			that we have
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			abandoned our responsibility toward him and toward his
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			deen and toward his,
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			and toward our own souls. Forgive us
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			and and and give us another chance.
