The Light of Reflection (Light of Reflection)

Discuss Prophet Yusuf’s advise to his companion in jail and implication on Tauheed. Link to the blessing of Ahlebait AS and to the events that we are seeing today in the form of CoronaVirus, our life and the 12th Imam

Welcome back to another episode of "Unveiling Human Treachery & Oppression: From Ahlul Bayt AS to Today". In this episode, we take you on a journey through the fortress of manipulated narratives that have shrouded the truth about the persecution of the Ahlul Bayt AS. We explore the role of human nature, swayed by power and prejudice, in shaping these narratives.

We delve into the mindset that has been cemented over centuries, passed down generations, and accepted without question. This mindset is the fortress that guards the truth. We aim to understand this fortress to find the key to unlock the truth.

We also discuss the predictable path of denial, dismissal, and distortion that conversations about historical realities often take. We draw parallels with the contemporary situation in Pakistan, where Imran Khan, a man who dared to challenge corruption, finds himself ousted and persecuted.

We reflect on the Quranic verse, "And say, 'Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart.'" (Surah Al-Isra, verse 81). This verse serves as a beacon of hope, a promise that the truth will eventually shine through, no matter how much falsehood tries to cover it up.

Subscribe and stay tuned for more episodes. Together, let's unveil the truth and stand up for justice.

While setting and achieving our goals is fulfilling, working towards the New Year's resolutions can be challenging. However, the consequences of not setting or fulfilling them can be significantly worse.

Here are just a few of the potential consequences of not setting or fulfilling your New Year's resolutions:

· You may miss out on important opportunities for growth and development. By not setting and working towards specific goals, you may miss out on the chance to learn new things, acquire new skills, or make positive changes in your life. This can leave you feeling stagnant and unfulfilled, and may even hold you back from achieving your full potential.

· You may struggle with feelings of disappointment and frustration. When we set goals for ourselves and fail to achieve them, it can be disheartening and demoralizing. This can lead to feelings of disappointment and frustration, which can be difficult to overcome. By setting and working towards specific goals, however, you can help to avoid these negative emotions and instead experience the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from achieving your goals.

· You may struggle with a lack of direction and purpose. Without specific goals to work towards, it can be hard to find meaning and purpose in our lives. This can lead to a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction, which can be disheartening and can make it difficult to find fulfillment in our daily lives. By setting and working towards specific goals, we can give our lives a sense of purpose and direction, which can be incredibly motivating and rewarding.

· You may struggle with low self-esteem and self-confidence. When we set goals for ourselves and fail to achieve them, it can be damaging to our self-esteem and self-confidence. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a lack of belief in ourselves, which can be difficult to overcome. By setting and working towards specific goals, however, we can build our self-esteem and self-confidence, and feel more capable and competent in our lives.

· You may feel disconnected from your values and priorities. When we don't have specific goals to work towards, it can be easy to lose sight of what's important to us and what we value. This can lead to a feeling of disconnection and a lack of alignment with our own values and priorities. By setting and working towards specific goals, however, we can stay focused on what's most important to us, and ensure that we're living in accordance with our values and priorities.

· You may experience a sense of regret or missed opportunities. When we don't set and work towards specific goals, we may miss out on opportunities for growth, learning, and personal development. This can lead to a sense of regret, and a feeling that we've let ourselves down or missed out on important experiences. By setting and working towards specific goals, however, we can avoid this sense of regret and instead experience the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from achieving our goals.

In short, the consequences of not setting and fulfilling your New Year's resolutions can be significant, and can impact various aspects of your life, including your self-esteem, your values, and your sense of purpose and direction. By setting specific, achievable goals and working towards them with determination and focus, you can avoid these negative consequences and instead experience the many benefits of goal-setting and achievement.

Welcome to another episode of "Unveiling Human Treachery & Oppression: From Ahlul Bayt AS to Today". In this episode, we continue our exploration of the deliberate manipulation of narratives, a ploy used by the powerful to distort the truth and mask the injustices inflicted upon the Ahlul Bayt AS, the blessed household of the Prophet Muhammad.

We delve deeper into the concept of power play, a game as old as civilization itself, and how it has been used throughout history to mask the truth. We draw parallels between the historical injustices faced by the Ahlul Bayt AS and the contemporary situation in Pakistan, where Imran Khan, a man striving to lead with integrity, finds himself ousted, isolated, and persecuted.

We reflect on the potential outcomes of this power play, the role of the media in shaping narratives, and the eerie similarities between the silencing of Imran Khan and the silencing of the Ahlul Bayt AS. We emphasize the importance of standing up for justice, of honoring the legacy of the Ahlul Bayt AS, and of living up to the principles they embodied.

Join us as we strive to uncover the truth, to challenge the narratives of power and betrayal, and to create a future where truth and justice are valued over power and convenience. Remember, "And let not the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness." (Quran 5:8).

2nd Question: How can the companions of the Prophet, who had fought with the Prophet, turn back on the allegiance that they made at Ghadeer?  The simple answer is that this wasn't the first time that they had turned back on their allegiance to the Prophet. 

Here are three examples: 

1- Breaking the Beyah al-Ridhwan (Allegiance before the Treaty of Hudebiya):   When the Prophet went to Makkah for Umrah with 3-5K companions, Quresh didn't allow him to perform Umrah. Prophet asked all Muslims to renew their Beyah/allegiance to him under a tree outside Makkah. All of them agreed to accept Prophet's decision whether to fight or agree to a truce. This resulted in the Treaty of Hudebiyah. However, many turned against the Prophet in 2 days including Umer.   The Prophet ordered the companions to break their Ahram and offer sacrifice. They refused to do so without going to Makkah. The Prophet was very upset and went to his tent where Hazrat Umm-e-Salma was accompanying him. She asked about what is making the Prophet sad. Upon learning, she recommended that the Prophet should break his Ahram and offer sacrifice. Once he, Imam Ali and a few companions did that, other followed.  

2- Breaking the covenant at the Battle of Khyber  On Day 1, Abu Bakr was given the flag and went to fight with the army but retreated. On Day 2, Umer was sent but retreated. This continued for 39 days. Then on the 40th day, the Prophet gave the flag to Imam Ali AS, who didn't retreat. Rather defeated the army of Khyber.  In Surah Ahzab, Allah mentions that the Muslims (companions of the Prophet) have their allegiance that they will not return without a fight but kept running back for 39 days. Thus breaking their promise to the Prophet.  

3- Rebellion against Usama  The top companions declined to go fight under the generalship of Usama bin Zayd when the Prophet asked all the senior companions to leave Madinah with the army of Usama except for Imam Ali AS. They argued that Usama was young.   The Prophet condemned them and said that you did the same against his father Zaid bin Hairitha when he was made the leader in the battle of Mutah  The people did the above things and broke the covenant of the Prophet because of their nature. 

There are two reasons why they ignored the allegiance of Ghadeer:  1- The thought of the Prophet as a regular human like themselves who only became a Prophet when he received the revelation. But Allah says in the Quran that Prophet is a Prophet all the time  2- It was part of their nature to be attracted towards power, authority, and Pride. They wanted to get absolute power, pride, and authority by removing Imam Ali AS from Khilafat.   They showed their inclination towards the above even before Islam. For example, when Quresh rebuilt Kaaba and the question was raised about installing Hijr Aswad, they all disagreed and were about to fight/kill each other. But then the Prophet resolved the issue by putting Hijr Aswad on a piece of cloth that all leaders held so that it was brought close to the Kaabah and then he himself installed Hijr Aswad.

In the first two parts, we discussed arguments in favour of and against watching the movie "the Lady of Heaven" from a Shia perspective. This podcast outlines a framework by which an individual can make a decision for themselves. Also discusses the institution of Marajiat for more clarity especially during the time of occultation of the Imam (may Allah hasten his reappearance).

Event of an Arab who comes to the Prophet Mohammad PBUH for help. The Prophet directs him to the house of Syeda Fatima Zehra. Since she didn't have anything, she gave him her neckless for the sake of Allah. The blessing of this Neckless changes many lives.

In this podcast, we explore the concept of zikr or remembrance of Allah and its importance in protecting oneself against the influence of shaytan and black magic. We discuss the various forms of zikr, including intention, worship, and recitation of the Qur'an, and how regular practice of zikr can provide a shield against the ill effects of black magic. We also examine the importance of education and knowledge in protecting oneself against the dangers of black magic, and how the use of Ahras or special recitations provided by the imams and prophets can act as a powerful defense. Additionally, we highlight the dangers of modern technology and social media, which can distract one from prioritizing zikr and good deeds. The podcast concludes by stressing the importance of taking protective measures seriously and being responsible for one's own well-being in the face of black magic.

Welcome to "Light of Reflection," where we delve into the profound connections between Christianity and Islam through the lens of the Quran. In this episode, we explore the significant role of Jesus in Islam, a truth often overlooked or misunderstood by many. Contrary to common misconceptions, Muslims hold Jesus and his mother Mary in high regard, acknowledging his miracles, virgin birth, and his pivotal role in the end times. Drawing from Quranic verses, we reveal the deep respect Islam has for Jesus, paralleling many beliefs held by Christians, yet with unique perspectives that enrich our understanding of this revered prophet. From his miraculous birth to his ascension and promised return, we uncover the Quran's narrative about Jesus, aiming to foster a dialogue that bridges faiths and highlights our shared spiritual heritage.

Apple Podcast: The Light of Reflection

1. Reflect on your values and principles: What are the things that are most important to you? What do you stand for and believe in? Consider how your values and principles align with your goals and how they fit into your current schedule.
2. Identify your goals: What do you want to achieve in the short-term and long-term? Consider both personal and professional goals, and prioritize them based on their importance to you.
3. Assess your current schedule: Take a look at how you're currently spending your time. Are there activities or commitments that are not aligned with your values and goals? Are there things you can let go of or prioritize differently?
4. Make a plan: Based on your values, goals, and current schedule, make a plan for how you can allocate your time to reflect your priorities. This may involve rearranging your schedule or making changes to your commitments.

No one knows when the 12th Imam will return, but let's assume it will be in 2023. If that's the case, then it's important to consider how we should prepare for that eventual day. One way to do this is by setting New Year's resolutions that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS).

But what type of resolutions should we set? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Work actively for the cause of Ahl-e-Bait (AS): This could involve volunteering your time and resources to support organizations or causes that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS). This could include supporting social justice initiatives, promoting education and knowledge, or working to build community and support for marginalized groups.

2. Share the facts about what happened to Syeda Fatima Zehra: Syeda Fatima Zehra was the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and a central figure in Islam. By sharing the facts about her life and the role she played in the early history of Islam, we can help educate others and promote a deeper understanding of the faith.

3. Discuss the freedom of Hijaz: Hijaz is a region in western Saudi Arabia that is home to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. By advocating for the freedom of Hijaz and speaking out against any injustices or violations of human rights in the region, we can promote a message of peace and justice.

4. Highlight what happened after the death of the Prophet and where the true Islam is: The death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) marked a significant turning point in the history of Islam. By sharing the facts about what happened after his death and highlighting the true teachings of Islam, we can help counter misinformation and promote a deeper understanding of the faith.

If we choose to set New Year's resolutions that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS), it's important to dedicate time and effort to making a difference. This doesn't have to be a big commitment - we can choose one or two platforms and share our knowledge and insights. In order to do this effectively, we'll need to educate ourselves and learn more about the issues and causes we care about.

No one really knows when the 12th Imam will come, but we should always be ready for that day. Even if we die before his re-appearance, at least we can say that we tried to do our part and make a positive impact in the world. By setting meaningful resolutions and working towards them with dedication and perseverance, we can contribute to a better world and prepare for the eventual return of the 12th Imam.

Welcome to another soul-stirring episode of "Unveiling Human Treachery & Oppression: From Ahlul Bayt AS to Today". In this episode, we journey into the heart of a narrative that has been woven with threads of deceit and denial, a narrative that has shrouded the true persecution of the Ahlul Bayt AS. We will explore the role of human nature, the nature that can be swayed by power and prejudice, in shaping this narrative.

We set the stage for a scholar's view of the monumental treason against Muslim Ibn Aqeel, a betrayal by an entire city. This act of treachery, one of the most significant in the history of humanity, serves as a precursor to the events of Karbala, where the blessed household of the Prophet was martyred without water and food in the middle of the desert.

The episode then delves into the impact of this treason on Islamic history, the role the human love of the world played in people turning against the person they swore to protect and support, and how Satan played a role in this. We end by emphasizing the importance of understanding these events, as we will discuss in detail in the next episode.

This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to understand the depths of human treachery and the strength of the Ahlul Bayt AS in the face of such adversity. Subscribe to our channel for more enlightening discussions and insights into Islamic history.

Question 4 - Was Abu Bakr jealous of Ali Ibn Abu Talib?  This jealousy is proven through historical events. 

Two examples:  

1- Revelation of Surah Al-Bara'a (Surah Taubah) When the Prophet made treaties, the Muslims went for Hajj the next year of the treaty of Hudebiyah. This first group of Muslims was led by Abu Bakr. However, as the non-Muslim tribes broke the treaty, Allah revealed Surah Al-Bara'a and asked the Prophet to convey the message to the Kufar of Makkah. The Prophet asked Abu Bakr to inform the Meccans when he reaches there. However, Angel Jibrael came from Allah and asked the Prophet to either convey the message himself or someone like him should convey it.   

Even though Prophet knew what Allah meant, he explicitly asked Jibrael, who should do this work. The angel replied Ali Ibn Abu Talib AS. So the Prophet asked Imam Ali to rush and take the leadership of the Hajj caravan from Abu Bakr and convey this message to Abu Bakr. Once Imam Ali took the charge, Abu Bakr got really angry. Instead of completing the Hajj, he returned angrily to the Prophet and didn't complete Hajj for Allah.   

According to some narrations, he even didn't say Salam to the Prophet and asked why did he ask Abu Bakr to give over the leadership.   If there was no animosity, he could've just continued the Hajj and submitted to the Prophet's saww command.   

2- Revelation of the verse about raising houses  

When this verse was revealed, Abu Bakr pointed towards the house of Syeda Fatima Zehra and Imam Ali AS, asking if this house is included. The Prophet replied that this is the best of those houses.   

Why would someone ask about some other house than his/her own house when a general verse is revealed? It is just out of curiosity, love, or hatred. We have seen that from the above example, Abu Bakr didn't have love for Imam Ali AS otherwise, he would've continued the Hajj. So the only justification is that he was jealous and wanted to know whether this house is included or not to make him feel better (if not included).

Welcome, dear listeners, to another enlightening episode of "Unveiling Human Treachery & Oppression: From Ahlul Bayt AS to Today". In this episode, we delve into the murky depths of historical narratives, unearthing the manipulation and distortion that has been used to cover up the injustices inflicted upon the Ahlul Bayt AS, the blessed family of the Prophet Muhammad.

We explore the recurring theme of narrative manipulation in Islamic history, a tool wielded by the powerful to serve their interests. We discuss the importance of understanding the past in its true light, not just for the sake of historical accuracy, but for the impact it has on our present and our future.

We reflect on the words of the Quran, underscoring the importance of justice and truth in Islam, and how the distortion of these principles in historical narratives is a betrayal of the faith itself. We also discuss the role each one of us can play in challenging these distorted narratives and seeking out the truth.

Join us as we continue our journey through history, striving to uncover the truth, stand up for justice, and honor the legacy of the Ahlul Bayt AS in our words and actions. Remember, as the Quran says, "And let not the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness." (Quran 5:8).

This episode takes you on a journey through a story of power, betrayal, and the strength of truth. We delve into the life of Imam Mohammad Taqi AS, the 10th Imam, who stood strong in the face of treachery during his short 25-year life.

In a time of political unrest, the Abbasids, fearful of his influence, plotted against him. The episode explores the strategic moves of Al-Mamoun, the volatile political environment, and the tragic role of Umm Al-Fazl in the Imam's martyrdom. We shed light on the stark contrast between the image of the Abbasids as pious leaders during the so-called golden era of Islam and the reality of their oppressive and manipulative reign.

As we navigate through the narratives of power and betrayal, we honor the legacy of truth, justice, and resilience of Imam Mohammad Taqi AS and all the Imams of the Ahlul Bayt AS. We commit to uncovering the distortions of history and shining a light on the truth, knowing that the powerful will not only first commit the treachery but then whitewash the truth to change the narrative.

Join us as we challenge the stories of power and betrayal that try to twist the truth. Stand tall, stand strong, and let the light of truth guide your way.

As humans, we possess a unique ability to multi-task and balance multiple tasks simultaneously. We can perform physical tasks like driving and thinking at the same time. However, when it comes to thinking, we can only perform one thought-related task at a time. This is where the idea of satanic whispers comes into play.

Have you ever found yourself thinking about something and then suddenly, a completely unrelated thought pops into your head? This thought is not directly related to what you were initially thinking about and may not even be aligned with your current priorities. This is when the idea of devilish whispers becomes relevant.

Satanic whispers are deceptive thoughts that arise impulsively and out of the blue. They can be identified when one suddenly starts to think about something that is not directly related to what they were initially thinking about. For example, one may impulsively type in "youtube.com" in the search bar or open the Youtube, WhatsApp or Facebook apps and start to mindlessly scroll. This sudden distraction shows that a satanic whisper has taken place.

These satanic whispers are not completely irrelevant thoughts, but instead are often related to things that we might have thought of or done before, and are stored in your subconscious. However, these thoughts are neither productive nor value-added and do not help reach our goals.

Let me give an example of 3 friends who were having dinner. Everything was going well. Suddenly, one friend mentions something that had happened 15 years ago which had nothing to do with their current conversation. However, this thought created some tension and distracted the lively conversation. The second friend aggravates the situation by becoming emotionally charged. This leads to anger and shouting. This entire episode happened because of a misunderstanding that happened 15 years ago and had been resolved amicably. But Satan used that to plant a whisper that built through Satan’s provocation and continued whispering and led to anger and fight. What a shameful end to such a nice dinner and what an ideal outcome for Satan.

It is important to be cautious of these distracting thoughts that suddenly arise in your mind. By being mindful of your thoughts and recognizing the signs of satanic whispers, you can protect yourself from being led astray. Additionally, it is important to have a strong connection with your faith and practice regularly to strengthen your resolve against satanic whispers.

In conclusion, satanic whispers are deceptive thoughts that arise out of the blue and distract us from our goals. By being mindful of our thoughts and recognizing the signs of satanic whispers, we can protect ourselves and maintain focus on what is truly important.

Welcome to the sixth chapter of our podcast series "Unveiling Treachery Against Ahlul Bayt AS: The Tragic Journey of Muslim bin Aqeel AS". In this episode, we delve deep into the life and mission of Muslim bin Aqeel, a figure of unwavering faith and steadfast loyalty in Islamic history. We explore his perilous journey to Kufa, a mission entrusted to him by Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. Despite the dangers lurking on every corner, Muslim bin Aqeel's commitment to the cause of truth and justice never wavered. His arrival in Kufa was met with overwhelming support, but as we'll discover, human allegiances can be transient.

The episode takes a dark turn with the arrival of Ubayd Allah Ibn-e-Ziyad, the ruthless governor of Basra. His presence instilled fear among the people, and his tactics of intimidation and manipulation quickly dismantled the support base that Muslim bin Aqeel had built. In the face of betrayal and adversity, Muslim bin Aqeel's faith remained unshaken. His capture and brutal execution marked a somber chapter in Islamic history, a stark reminder of the lengths to which the forces of tyranny would go to suppress the truth.

Join us as we reflect on the lessons learned from the story of Muslim bin Aqeel. His unwavering faith, his steadfast commitment to the truth, and his ultimate sacrifice serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. His story continues to inspire us to this day.

Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on our channel. Your journey into the depths of Islamic history awaits.

This podcast focuses on the mystery surrounding the death of Sayyidah Zaynab, the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad. There are conflicting accounts of her death, with different dates and circumstances being put forward by Shia and Sunni historians. Some believe that she was murdered by Yazid, while others suggest she died due to illness or from the stress of the tragedy of Karbala. The location of her grave is also disputed, with some saying it is in Egypt and others in Damascus. Despite these conflicting details, Zaynab is considered a powerful and influential figure in Islamic history and a source of inspiration for Muslims due to her fight for justice and her dedication to spreading knowledge.

• The date of Shahada of Sayyidah Zaynab is in the mid of Rajab according to most Shia historians and some Sunni scholars.
• The year of Shahada is different, with some saying it was in year 62 of Hijra, 1.5 years after Karbala and others saying it was in year 65 of Hijra.
• The location of her grief is another important question with different opinions in the Shia school of thought. Some say she started speaking out about Karbala and Imam al-Hussein causing the governor of al-Madina to send a message to Yazid to do something about her. Some say she was hit on the head causing her wound and death.
• According to some accounts, she went to Egypt where she stayed for five or six months spreading knowledge until she died. The location of her shrine is also debated.
• Some believe she died soon after Karbala, while others believe she lived for four or five years and her grave is most likely in Syria.

Discussion of the The only constant in life - change, and how we fear change and how this fear inhibits is from standing for the Justice. What we should do right now to make a difference and how Hasan Minhaj’s appeal come into play. Examples from the history of Muslims and their inability to act and stand up. Consequences of not standing-up right now. There are several questions to consider that contextualize this conversation e.g. why all of this is happening in 2020?

The Deal and what happened after that

The concept of Khalifa in Islam is one of great importance, as it denotes the idea of a successor, a representative or a steward of Allah on earth. However, the true meaning of Khalifa has been a topic of debate among Muslim scholars, with some arguing that it is a position that can be attained through election or appointment by human beings, while others believe that it is a position that can only be attained through divine appointment. In this research paper, we will examine the concept of Khalifa in Islam, and present evidence from the Quran and narrations to support the argument that only Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib was the true Khalifa of Allah. Introduction: The concept of Khalifa in Islam is one that has been discussed by many scholars throughout history. The term Khalifa is derived from the Arabic word “Khalafa,” which means “to succeed” or “to follow after.” In Islam, the Khalifa is the successor of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is responsible for carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Prophet after his death. However, the true meaning of Khalifa has been a topic of debate among Muslim scholars, with some arguing that it is a position that can be attained through election or appointment by human beings, while others believe that it is a position that can only be attained through divine appointment. In this research paper, we will examine the concept of Khalifa in Islam and present evidence from the Quran and narrations to support the argument that only Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib was the true Khalifa of Allah. The Concept of Khalifa in Islam: The concept of Khalifa in Islam can be traced back to the Quran, where it is mentioned in several verses. In Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 30, Allah says, “And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority (Khalifa)’” (Quran 2:30). This verse establishes the idea that Allah has appointed a Khalifa on earth to carry out His will. In another verse, Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 73, Allah says, “And We made them leaders (Imams) guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of Zakah; and they were worshippers of Us [alone]” (Quran 21:73). This verse suggests that the Khalifa is appointed by Allah and guided by His command, and is responsible for performing good deeds, establishing prayer and giving Zakah. From these verses, it is clear that the concept of Khalifa in Islam is one that is divinely ordained and appointed by Allah. It is not a position that can be attained through human election or appointment.

I often encounter individuals who struggle to balance the concept of ambition and realism when setting goals. It is true that as believers, we have faith in the power of Allah, the creator of all things, and that He can do anything. With this belief in mind, one might think that setting the most ambitious goals is the way to go, with the hope that Allah will aid in achieving them. However, it is important to remember that while we trust in the power of Allah, we are also responsible for taking action towards our goals.

In Islam, the concept of tawakkul, or reliance on Allah, is central to our understanding of goal setting and achieving success. Tawakkul means that while we put in our best efforts and take action towards our goals, we also trust in the will and guidance of Allah. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Tie your camel and put your trust in Allah." This means that while we take all necessary steps to achieve our goals, we also trust in Allah's plan and accept that the outcome is ultimately in His hands.

So, when setting goals, it is important to consider both ambition and realism. Setting ambitious goals can push us to strive for greatness, but we must also be realistic about what we can achieve given our current circumstances and resources. It is important to remember that setting ambitious goals does not mean that we should neglect the necessary steps and actions to achieve them. We should set goals that are challenging yet achievable, and have a plan and take actions towards achieving them. It is also important to remember to ask Allah for guidance and help in achieving our goals.

In addition, it's important to have patience and persistence in the process of achieving our goals, as it is not always guaranteed that the goals will be achieved in the time frame we want. Sometimes it might take longer than what we expect, but we should never give up and continue to work hard and pray for guidance and help.

In conclusion, setting ambitious goals is important in achieving success, but it should be balanced with realism and the understanding that we are not in complete control of the outcome. We should put in our best efforts and take action towards our goals, while also trusting in the will and guidance of Allah. Through the balance of ambition, realism, and tawakkul, we can achieve success in both this world and the hereafter.

In this episode, we explore the question of whether it is acceptable for Muslims to accept help from their enemies whether Muslims or Not. There are 4 parts to this series. In this part 4, we discuss the narrations about getting and accepting help from the enemies (Muslims or non-Muslims)

Through historical examples and analysis, we discover that there are instances where it is appropriate to seek assistance from those who are not of our faith, even if they are considered enemies. From the liberation of Iraq to the intercession of the Prophet's companions and the Tatarian invasion of Baghdad, we learn how wise leadership and strategic alliances can be instrumental in ensuring the well-being and protection of the Muslim community.

Welcome to "Light of Reflection," where we delve into the stark contrasts of how human life is valued differently across the world. In this episode, we explore the Quranic teaching that equates killing one person to destroying all humanity.

📚 We critically examine the historical paths taken by Muslims: 90% following the Khulafa, and a minority adhering to the teachings of Ahlul Bayt AS. Why, despite Allah's promise of dignity and sustenance, do we witness widespread disregard for human life, even in Muslim societies?

💭 Our discussion extends to challenging common perceptions. We question the apparent blessings of military expansions and consider the possibility that the majority of Muslims might be following a distorted narrative, one that diverges from the true teachings of Islam.

🤔 What if our understanding is flawed? Could the failure to fulfill the covenant and the spread of false narratives be the root cause of our challenges? This episode invites you to ponder these critical questions as we continue our search for truth and success.

Question 3 - Was the attack on Syeda Fatima Zehra planned or accidental?  Many companions had the idea that they would not be able to achieve their goals till Syeda Fatima Zehra was living and standing with Imam Ali AS. However, some of the events led to an incident that was far worst than one can even imagine, showing their true inner attitude and hatred towards the Ahl-e-Bait AS.  

After the beyah of Abu Bakr, many people who rejected the Beyah and supported Imam Ali, used to gather at his house. So the house of Imam Ali AS and Syeda Fatima Zehra AS became a symbol of the resistance. Like any dictator, they could not deal with the opposition and decided to harass the opposition. The Prophet saww had ordered to use Shura but the used force.  

Umer was given full authority to bring down the opposition. He pushed his way through the door of Syeda Fatima Zehra after burning the door like a tyrant's police. This broke the door and Syeda Fatima Zehra was behind the door. When he realized this, he pushed the door to squeeze Syeda between the wall and the door. This shows his hatred towards the household of the Prophet.  Imam Ali AS jumped on Umer and threw him on the ground. He was about to kill Umer when he remembered the will of the Prophet to observe patience and let Umer go. 

Abu Bakr not only condoned the event, he also sent additional reinforcements to arrest Imam Ali.  Syeda Fatima Zehra was assaulted three times:  1- Inside her house 2- When she protected Imam Ali AS from being taken away 3- In the mosque of the Prophet

Welcome to "Light of Reflection," where today's episode takes a deep dive into the transformative approach of our academy - focusing on teaching the core, not just the crust. We explore the vital distinction between the interior and exterior aspects of education, emphasizing the importance of reaching the inner self: the insight, spirit, heart, and aql.

We discuss how conventional education systems often concentrate on the exterior intellect, neglecting the core that forms a person's true essence. In contrast, our academy aims to nurture this core, believing it to be the key to stable, long-lasting knowledge and faith.

Join us in understanding why focusing on the core leads to education that becomes a fixed part of one's self, reflecting positively on the exterior. We discuss how this approach aligns with the teachings of the prophets and our imams, who focused on the interior to effect exterior change.

As we approach the new year, it's a great time to reflect on the goals we want to achieve and the changes we want to make in our lives. While setting and working towards New Year's resolutions can be challenging, the potential benefits of focusing on our goals are vast.

For starters, focusing on our goals can help to increase our sense of purpose and direction. When we have clear goals that we're working towards, we're more likely to feel motivated and engaged in what we're doing. This sense of purpose can be incredibly powerful, and can help to give us the drive and energy we need to keep going, even when things get tough.

Focusing on our goals can also help to improve our sense of self-worth and self-esteem. When we make progress towards our goals, it can be a great source of pride and accomplishment. This can boost our confidence and help us to feel better about ourselves, which can in turn lead to increased happiness and well-being.

Finally, focusing on our goals can help to increase our sense of control over our lives. When we have clear goals and a plan for achieving them, we're more likely to feel in control of our lives and our futures. This can be incredibly empowering, and can help us to feel more confident and capable as we work towards the things we want to achieve.

So, as we begin the new year, let's embrace the opportunity to set and focus on our goals. By doing so, we can unlock the full potential of our lives and achieve all that we're capable of.

Welcome to Episode 14 of our podcast series, where we discuss the importance of remembering our past, drawing inspiration from lessons around the world, and teachings from the Holy Quran and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Forgetting our history can lead to disunity, confusion, and a weakened sense of purpose, and we must preserve and honor our past for the sake of our present and our future. In this context, we examine the consequences of not remembering our history, drawing from examples like the ancient civilization of the Maya and the fate of the Roman Empire.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of remembering and honoring our past. The desecration and neglect of the Baqee Cemetery is not only an affront to the memory of the Prophet's family and companions, but it has threatened our collective spiritual well-being. We must come together to remember and honor our past, to learn from the examples of those who have gone before us, and to work towards a future that is guided by the values and principles they embodied. The Rebuild Baqee Campaign is an important step in this direction, seeking to restore and preserve the sacred resting place of our spiritual ancestors. Join us in our efforts to rebuild Baqee, and together, let us preserve our shared Islamic heritage for generations to come.

OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results, is a goal-setting framework that can be helpful in achieving New Year's resolutions by providing a structured and disciplined approach to goal-setting. By setting clear and measurable objectives and key results, we can stay focused on our goals and make progress towards their attainment.

However, it's important to keep in mind that our ultimate goals should be aligned with our values and principles, and that we should seek guidance and support from our faith in working towards them. In Islam, the concept of tawakkul, or trust in God, is an important principle to keep in mind when setting and working towards goals. This involves recognizing that ultimately, our success or failure is in God's hands and that we should strive to do our best and trust in His plan. This can help us stay focused and motivated, and can help us persevere when faced with challenges or setbacks.

By incorporating Islamic values and principles into our OKRs, we can ensure that our goals are meaningful and aligned with our values, and that we are seeking guidance and support from our faith in working towards them. Here are three examples of Islamic OKRs that might be helpful in achieving New Year's resolutions:

1. "Improve      spiritual growth"

By setting clear and measurable objectives and key results, and seeking guidance and support from Islamic teachings and principles, these OKRs can help us make progress towards our New Year's resolutions and achieve success in the year ahead.

As we start a new year, many of us set ambitious goals and make New Year's resolutions in the hopes of achieving something great. However, it's important to remember that we don't have complete control over our lives and sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don't go as planned. This is where the concept of a miracle comes in.

A miracle is not just an extraordinary event that defies natural laws, but it also serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our journey. The power of a miracle lies in the confluence of three key components: intention, effort, and faith. When we set our goals with a sincere intention, make an effort towards achieving them, and have faith that something greater is guiding us, we open ourselves up to the possibility of a miracle. The timing of the miracle is also important. Sometimes, things happen at just the right time and we realize that it couldn't have happened any other way.

In this sense, setting ambitious goals and making New Year's resolutions can be seen as a form of putting our faith in action. It shows that we believe in something greater and that we are willing to work hard towards attaining our aspirations. And if we are blessed with a miracle, it serves as a powerful reminder that with the help of something greater, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.

For example, the Miracle of the 6th Imam, which is read on the 22nd of Rajab, is an example of how the timing of the miracle was perfectly aligned with the prayer of a wood cutter's wife. If the wood cutter had found the treasure earlier or two years later, it would not have been a miracle. Similarly, when a wazir was arrested and put into jail, the power of the miracle was witnessed when the Prince came back the next morning after they repented. If the Prince had come earlier or later, the power of the miracle would not have been witnessed.

On the other hand, people who do not believe in miracles will attribute everything to effort and will see the timing of events as random and extraordinary. For example, today we see extraordinary events like droughts and then flooding seen once in a generation, snow that killed people in buffalo and flooding in many parts of the world. Some may see these events as natural disasters and attribute them to environmental factors, while others may see them as a sign of God's power and presence. For example, the appearance of the comet after 50,000 years, and its significance.

Therefore, it is important to not only set goals, work hard, and have good intentions but also to have faith in Miracles, especially when the road is bumpy and our own efforts seem to be futile.

Types of tests. A/B Testing. A Testing: Imam Ali proved his strength, valour, and vigour in different battles and circumstances.  When people argue that Imam Ali was a coward that he didn't stand-up for his wife. It is not true. It was a test of Muslims, who had just performed Hajj with the Prophet, fought with the Prophet. It was a test for everyone living in Madinah. Everyone except for a few people failed. If people had defended and agreed to the covenant that Allah made in Surah Al-Maidah. When Muslims ignored Allah's covenant, failed the test and did not change themself to pass the test, the future direction turned out to be very different life. Example from our wordly life

All the blessings that come from Allah are through the Ahl-e-Bait AS. This is supported by the Quran - Surah Al-Maidah verses 65-67. Allah mentions the key to getting access to the heavenly treasures. Verse 67 was the impetus for the event of Ghadeer. This is supported by the event of Ghadeer and the message that was sent on that day. This is supported by the sermon of Imam Hasan AS. 

Two fabricated narrations were used: 1- Narrations regarding not combining Nabuwah and Khilafah in the Household of the Prophet saww. 2- Narration highlighted by Abu Bakr and his friends against Syeda Fatima Zehra to prevent her from her inheritance. Both of these narrations were fabricated with proofs. These proofs were given by the Ahl-e-Bait AS and Syeda Fatima Zehra in the court of the Prophet but because of evil intentions, Muslims ignored these proofs. It is our responsibility to understand what happened in the early days of Islam.

Summarize the approach of investigation - Two contradictory stories regarding the death of a young lady. The investigation approach in today's society including initial investigation, detailed investigation, indictment, trial, jury, judge, and judgement/conviction. The role of the initial investigation is to follow the leads and exhaust all doubts. Each individual is answerable for their own investigation and analysis, and they will be answerable in front of Allah for their own conclusions. There are inherent beliefs that need to be tested and that's what Allah did with Quran. It tested the inherent beliefs of the non-believers with many examples and proofs e.g. Prophet Ibrahim's discussions. The final verdict and realization will be after death.  

Surah Ar-Ra’d tells us that Allah doesn’t change a nation until unless they change themselves. So we need to change. There are 8 steps to changing oneself: Gaining the Maarfah of Allah, Gain knowledge of Allah through the two main sources- The Quran and The traditions of the Prophet and Ahlebait AS, developing a clear vision, realize the reality of life, subjugate the Nafs (detailed discussion in Part 3), Receive the light of Allah to perform Salehaat, Reach the elevated state of being Rabiuun, Truly prepare for the hereafter.

Protecting oneself from the influence of magic is an important concept in Islam, and Allah has provided guidance on how to do so. However, it is important to understand that Satan also plays a role in this equation, and can use his own methods to distract and misguide people, making them forget about the recommended protections against magic.

In the Quran, Allah warns against the dangers of magic and encourages believers to seek protection from its harm. Allah has revealed the Quran as a source of guidance and healing, and reciting certain verses from it can serve as a powerful means of protection. For example, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas are often recited for protection against magic and the influence of evil spirits.

However, Satan is also free to use his own methods to keep people away from this protection. He may try to make people forget about the Quran and its benefits, or he may distract them with other worldly matters so that they do not prioritize their spiritual well-being. This is why it is important for believers to stay mindful of Allah and to continuously remember His name, as this can serve as a powerful means of protection against the whispers of Satan.

Furthermore, Satan may also encourage those who have envy or malice in their hearts to employ advanced tools like magic to cause harm to others. This is a dangerous combination, as it allows Satan to use both forgetfulness and harmful tools to misguide people and cause destruction. Therefore, it is important for believers to be aware of these dangers and to seek protection from Allah.

Ultimately, even if a person forgets to seek protection from magic or falls victim to its harm, they can still find comfort in the overall protection of Allah. Believers should trust in Allah's plan and know that He is always with them, even in times of difficulty. Additionally, Allah has the power to confuse the enemies of believers and defuse their attacks, making it clear that ultimate protection comes from Him alone.

In conclusion, protecting oneself from the influence of magic is an important concept in Islam, and Allah has provided guidance on how to do so. However, it is important to be aware of Satan's role in this equation and to stay mindful of Allah at all times. By continuously remembering Allah's name and seeking protection through the Quran, believers can guard themselves against the dangers of magic and the whispers of Satan.

Elaborates 22 reasons why Shias should not watch and support the movie the Lady of Heaven with an understanding of key points that are agreed upon all Shia

It can be frustrating when we set New Year's resolutions with the intention of improving ourselves, but find ourselves struggling to stick to them. We may feel like we have failed or that we are not good enough, which can be disheartening.

There are a few reasons why people may struggle with their New Year's resolutions:

1. Unrealistic goals: Sometimes we may set goals that are too ambitious or not realistic for our current circumstances. This can lead to discouragement and a lack of motivation when we struggle to make progress.

2. Lack of a plan: Without a clear plan and specific steps to follow, it can be hard to stay on track and achieve our goals.

3. Lack of accountability: Having someone to hold us accountable and provide support and encouragement can be a key factor in our success. If we don't have someone to keep us accountable, it can be easy to lose motivation and give up on our resolutions.

4. Life circumstances: Sometimes external factors beyond our control can impact our ability to stick to our resolutions. For example, if we experience unexpected challenges or changes in our lives, it can be difficult to stay focused on our goals.

By recognizing the common challenges that people face when trying to stick to their New Year's resolutions and finding ways to overcome them, we can increase our chances of success and make progress towards our goals. This may involve setting more realistic goals, creating a plan with specific steps, seeking support and accountability, and being flexible and adaptable in the face of life's challenges.

Tawakkul, or reliance on God, is a fundamental concept in Islam that emphasizes trust in God's will and guidance in all aspects of life. This principle can be particularly relevant when it comes to setting and achieving New Year's resolutions.

When setting resolutions, it's important to remember that ultimately, it is God who determines what will come to pass. While we should make our best effort to achieve our goals, we must also recognize that we are not in control of the outcome. This can help us to release any unrealistic expectations or undue stress related to achieving our resolutions.

Tawakkul also reminds us that success is not only measured by the attainment of our goals, but by the effort and sincerity we put into them. In the Islamic tradition, it is believed that it is the effort and intention behind an action that is most important in the eyes of God. Therefore, even if we don't achieve our resolution, as long as we have put in the effort and have the right intentions, we have succeeded in the eyes of God.

At the same time, tawakkul should not be used as an excuse for laziness or lack of action. Instead, it should be used as a reminder that we must put in the effort and take action towards our goals, while also recognizing that the ultimate outcome is in God's hands.

Tawakkul also encourages us to turn to God for guidance and assistance in achieving our resolutions. By making consistent supplications (dua), and asking God for help, we can receive guidance and strength to overcome the obstacles that we may face in the pursuit of our goals. This will also increase our faith and trust in God, which in turn will help us to remain motivated and focused throughout the year.

In conclusion, the principle of tawakkul in Islam can provide a useful framework for approaching New Year's resolutions. It emphasizes the importance of effort, intention and reliance on God, which can help us to set realistic goals, maintain perspective and stay motivated throughout the year. As we set our New Year's resolutions, let us remember to put in the effort and have the right intentions while also relying on God's help and guidance.

Islam is a religion that has always placed a strong emphasis on the well-being of the individual, both physically and spiritually. This focus on the individual is reflected in the teachings of Islam, which offer a holistic approach to human psychology and well-being.

One of the key ways in which Islam addresses human psychology is through its emphasis on the importance of self-awareness and self-control. The Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encourage Muslims to reflect on their own thoughts and actions, and to strive to control their desires and impulses in order to live a virtuous and meaningful life. For example, the Qur'an teaches that every person is responsible for their own actions, and that they will be held accountable for them on the Day of Judgment. This emphasis on personal responsibility helps to cultivate self-awareness and self-control, as Muslims strive to live in accordance with the values and principles of Islam.

Islam also recognizes the importance of balance and moderation in all aspects of life, including the emotional and psychological dimensions. The Qur'an speaks of the importance of maintaining balance in one's relationships with others, and encourages Muslims to avoid excess in their thoughts and actions. This emphasis on balance helps to prevent the negative psychological consequences of overindulgence, such as anxiety, stress, and depression.

Dive into the riveting world of Islamic history with our latest podcast episode, where we explore the life and legacy of Imam Al-Baqr.

His establishment of the School of Ahlul Bayt and the initiation of scientific work and study circles in the Masjid of Rasulullah are just a few of his many contributions. We also explore his collaborative relationship with Imam al-Sadq and the rich body of knowledge that resulted from their partnership.

In this enlightening episode of the Reflecting Light Podcast, we delve deep into the profound understanding of divine intervention, its conditions, and how it manifests in our lives today.

Commencing with a rhetorical question that challenges us: What conditions are necessary for Allah to send divine help? We examine the historical accounts where Allah (Subhanahu Ta'ala) has intervened in major battles and provided unwavering support to the Mu'mineen in numerous forms. Drawing lessons from battles such as Badr and Al-Ahzab, we scrutinize the instances of divine aid. From direct participation of angels, sending cyclones and sandstorms, to instilling abnormal bravery in the hearts of the Mu'mineen, we discuss how divine intervention comes in various forms, both spiritual and actual.

We also delve into the essential conditions for divine intervention, such as Iman, Yakeen, and Tawakkol. Using practical examples from our contemporary times, we explore how the same principles apply today. Listen to the thought-provoking analysis of the challenges faced by the Shia community, and understand the intricate manifestations of Allah's divine intervention in their battles, even against the greatest odds.

This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to understand the conditions and applications of divine intervention in our lives, deepening our Iman, and reinforcing our faith in the merciful and generous Allah.

A lot happened after the event of Ghadeer but one question that no one asks is - What happened to the 100K+ Muslim Hajis who were present at Ghadeer? Did they die of a plague within 70 days or did their hearts die? 14 distinct things that happened after this event can be attributed to the lack “Nahi Anil Munkar.” And if we don’t change ourselves, how will we be different than those who stayed quite?

Discuss the first act of terrorism that took place in Islam. How it was kept a secret and people were barred from talking about it. Soon her son will come take revenge of her mother inshAllah. He will come with a few important signs

Muslims have long debated the concept of Shifa'at, or intercession, in Islam. Some argue that there is no such thing and that we are solely dependent on our actions to determine our fate in the afterlife. They use verses from the Quran, such as those where Allah mentions that worshipping other gods will not help anyone, to support their argument. However, these verses are often taken out of context and do not consider all of the verses related to the subject.

It is true that the Quran denies the help of false gods. In Surah Maryam verses 81 and 82, Allah explicitly states that false gods will not be of any help to those who worship them. This supports the argument that one should not attribute false gods or family to Allah.

Similarly, in Surah Maryam verses 88-92, Allah vehemently denies the attribution of a son to God. This further strengthens the argument that false attribution is not acceptable in Islam. However, these verses do not negate the concept of intercession.

The real proof of intercession can be found in Verse 87 of Surah Maryam. In this verse, Allah confirms that intercession will take place. Therefore, false intercession is not allowed, but true intercession is allowed and will take place.

So, the question remains, where do we find the true source of intercession? The answer is not what the Kufar (unbelievers) or the Christians say by attributing a son to Allah. Rather, it is the Prophet and his household, as proven from the Quran, Sunnah, and events from the life of the Prophet.

In conclusion, while the Quran denies the help of false gods and the attribution of a son to God, it does not negate the concept of intercession. The real source of intercession is the Prophet and his household, not false gods or false attributions. It is important for Muslims to understand the context of verses related to Shifa'at and to not take them out of context. This understanding will help us to stay on the right path and seek the true source of intercession in Islam.

The growth of Taliban is a risk for all humanity. 

It is a consequence of the policies adopted by the extremist regime of Saudi Arabia. Wahabism is the official sect of Saudi Arabia and is fully supported by the Saudi government since the very beginning. It has been exported to the entire world.

Illegitimate custodianship of Makkah and Madinah has been a big reason why people have accepted their ideology. 

While anyone can do whatever they want, but creating chaos and producing killers should not be allowed. However, that’s what this Wahabi mentality has done. 

If one argues that this is not the case, let’s just see the history of Muslim extremist / terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Taleban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, all of which adhere to the extremist sect of Wahabism. 

Therefore, in order to cull the support of terrorism, the Muslim Ummah should come together to liberate Hijaz from the clutches of Aal-e-Saud and the true essence of Islam should be propagated through the Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.

Feeling of the people in Madinah who had seen the miracles and the status of the household of the Prophet. What happened to the people? Three groups of people: 1- Evil, 2- True Shias, 3- Muslims who were not in 1 or 2. These people feared for their life, didn't care of what was happening, or they were attracted towards this world. Conditions for Imam Ali AS to stand up for his right. Muslims in today's world.

Discussion about the nation of Aad and how they reacted when the saw the Azaab. Similarities to today’s situation. When no one knows the reality of something, it is the sign of Allah (Amrullah). What if we don’t change with this inclination, how will we stand and survive the punishment after death?

In this podcast episode, we delve into the meaning of mawadda, the true love that is shown practically with actions and attitudes, and how it applies to the Muslim concept of unity. We explore the Quranic ayah that talks about how true mu'mineen never show love to enemies of Allah, even if they are their family members or countrymen. We also discuss the concept of nawasib, dawaash, wahabis, and salafis as enemies of Allah and his prophet, and why there is no Muslim unity with them. Join us as we analyze the conditions for Muslim unity and discuss how we can stand together against common enemies without compromising our beliefs.

Welcome to Episode 20 of "Unveiling Human Treachery & Oppression: From Ahlul Bayt AS to Today". In this riveting episode, we delve deeper into the annals of Islamic history, shedding light on the persecution faced by the Ahlul Bayt AS, the blessed family of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

We explore the treacherous acts committed against them, starting from the immediate aftermath of the Prophet's passing, when Imam Ali AS was denied his divinely appointed position. We discuss the chilling indifference of the people of Madinah, the horrifying attack on Seyda Fatima Zehra, and the subsequent atrocities that befell the Ahlul Bayt AS.

We also reflect on the society and power dynamics during their time, and how these factors contributed to their persecution. This episode is a sobering reminder of the lengths people will go to maintain power and control, and the devastating consequences of their actions.

Join us as we continue to unveil the truth, standing together in the face of injustice, for the truth will always prevail.

Welcome to our latest video podcast, where we will delve into the rich tapestry of Quranic teachings and gain insights into Allah's commands and the responses of His creations. Join us as we discuss a profound event narrated by Allah in Surah Saad that holds deep meaning and serves as a testament to the importance of obedience and humility.

In this episode, we will explore why Allah ordered the inhabitants of the heavens to prostrate before Adam and what it signifies in the grand scheme of creation. We will analyze Quranic verses that provide context and detail to this event and uncover the responses of the inhabitants of the heavens.

As the narrative unfolds, we will reveal how the angels obeyed Allah's command and prostrated before Adam, except for one special creation, Iblis. We will discuss how this event served as a test of Allah's obedience and humility, and how Iblis' arrogance and pride led him down a path of disobedience and disbelief, ultimately making him an enemy of mankind.

By examining this event, we can learn valuable lessons about the importance of submitting to Allah's will and resisting the temptations of pride and arrogance. So, join us on this spiritual journey as we explore the depths of Quranic teachings and gain a deeper understanding of Allah's commands.

It's been almost ~100 years since the destruction of the shrines of Ahl-e-Bait AS, Umhatul Momineen, Ashab-e-Rasool, and Shuhda-e-Islam. While the Muslim world remains quiet, Shias of Imam Ali are striving for the rebuilding of the Janatul Baqee in Madinah and Janatul Mauala in Makkah. As we commemorate this sad day, we should ask key questions to truly understand our responsibility as Muslims and specifically as the followers of the Ahl-e-Bai AS. Dr. Hatem discusses the following questions in great detail: 1- What is the impact of Janatul Baqee on our lives as followers of Ahl-e-Bait AS? 2- Is it sufficient to rebuild the shrines or we need to stand for more? 3- Why was Hijaz handed over to Aal-e-Saud in the first place? 4- What is so special about the destruction of these holy gravesites?

1- Real-life status of those who dies in the cause of Imam Hussain AS like the children of Muslim bin Aqeel, Hur RA, and the martyrs who defended the holy shrines (0-7min) 

2- We live in a complicated world with different groups of Shias having different responsibilities. We will be asked for our responsibility (7-10min)

3- A Museebah of Imam Hussain AS that I felt in the Haram of Imam Hussain AS but is not discussed anywhere (10-15 min) 

oin us as we delve into the critical questions that have been pondered by theologians and scholars throughout history. In this podcast, we explore topics such as the argument between Allah and Iblis, performing sajda to someone other than Allah, and the interplay between Ruh, Jism, Nafs, and the role of Shaitan. We must reflect on these questions and seek to deepen our understanding of our faith to better comprehend the nature of Allah's tests and the interplay between the spiritual and physical world. Let us strive towards spiritual growth and enlightenment by exploring these questions and seeking the knowledge necessary to deepen our faith. Tune in now to expand your knowledge and understanding of Islam.

Timelines are based on narrations and there could be disputes in narrations. From the last Hajj of the Prophet to the death of the Prophet saww there was a period of ~3 months. Death of the Prophet => Sakifa => Abu Bakr is Caliph => Imam Ali doesn't give allegiance => Imam Ali is focused on compiling the Quran => People come to Imam Ali for beyah but don't come back => Syeda Fatima Zehra makes a stand for the right of humanity and Allah's covenant => Went from door to door but no one came to support => Abu Bakr and Umer realized that Syeda Fatima Zehra will get more support => Confiscate Fadak => Sermon for Fadak (a long sermon - likely not injured) => Rulers kept asking for Imam Ali's beyah => Burned the Door => Took Imam Ali in ropes => Syeda Fatima Zehra came out crying to protect Imamah & Hujjah of Allah => She kept crying => People of Madinah asked her to go out of the city to cry => Cut down the tree under which she used to cry => Imam Ali built a house => She passed away
