3rd Night of Muharram
- Importance of remembering Imam Husayn (a) in the role of a dhakir. Story of the dream of a well-known scholar that thosewho will easily pass through the Day of Reckoning. Story of famous poet, Jamal al-Din al-Musalli al-Hilli whose mother vowed that she would dedicate him to be a highway robber for the zuwwar (visitors) to the rawdha of Imam Husayn (a).
- Qur'an 9:119: "O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with the true ones."
- Definition of a true person is one whose batin (inner) corresponds 100% to his outer (dhahir). Such a state can only be achived by the Ma'asumeen (a), as others are affected by waswasah (whispering)
- The way to be with the ma'asumeen (a) is either to study their biographies (which is important) or to study their teachings (which is more important). We therefore wish to study the teachings of Imam Husayn (a).
- Analysis of portion of du'a Arafah dealing with Tawheed
- Entirety of tawheed is encapsulated in "laa ilaaha illallaah". Importance of understanding tawheed as a lifelong process.
- Detailed analysis of "Subhaanallahi wa al-Hamdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallahu akbar".
- Allahu akbar is short for "Allahu akbar min an yoosaf" -- Allah is greater than can be described
- Light of understanding that cannot be learned through books |

The Imamat of Ibrahim (a) / Free Will in Karbala

9th Night of Muharram
First part of this outstanding lecture is in English, second is in Urdu. Imamate is achieved by offering sacrifices in the way of Allah (swt). Nabi Ibrahim (a) had to sacrifice his son Ismail (a). How can a parent's sacrifice of his child be considered other than cruelty? Interpretation of relevant verse in Surat Saaffaat where Ibrahim (a) explains his dream to his son and leaves it up to his son to give his opinion (fandhur maadhaa taraa). This is a beautiful sacrifice which is the acceptance of the son and his willingness to submit to his Lord and to be among those who are patient (saabireen). This is free will and a partnership of father and son. Similarly, in Karbala, Imam (a) did not force anyone to fight in the battle. They did so out of love. Parallel between sacrifice of Imam (a) and sacrifice of Ibrahim (a). Imam (a) tried to find an excuse for all those who lined up for shahadat except his own son Ali Akbar (a). Ibrahim (a) was not raised to the level of Imam (a) because he sacrificed Ismail (a), but rather because he was able to raise a son that was willing to be sacrificed. |
