00:00:00I'm Hussain from me, and I'm from Hussain.

00:00:04I'm Hussain from me, and I'm from Hussain from me.

00:00:25These displays show the family tree of our beloved Imam, Imam Al-Hussain.

00:00:31Starting from the display regards to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, the grandfather of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:00:40The Holy Prophet was from Banu Hashim, the tribe and the family tree of Banu Hashim.

00:00:49Banu Hashim was from the clan of Quraysh.

00:00:54The Holy Prophet's great grandfather was Hashim.

00:01:00Hashim, whereby the tribe, the family, Banu Hashim was named after.

00:01:09He had a brother called Abd Shams.

00:01:13Abd Shams was the forefather of Banu Umayyah.

00:01:19Today shows the Holy Prophet's father and forefathers, leading to Banu Hashim, and leading to his great grandfather Hashim.

00:01:28Showing the family tree of Banu Hashim.

00:01:32Notable uncles of the Holy Prophet were Hamza, the Shaheed of the Battle of Uhud, and his uncle Abu Talib, the father of Amir Al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib.

00:01:49The father of the Holy Prophet was Abdullah.

00:01:54One of the displays here also shows the lineage and progeny of the Holy Prophet continued through his daughter Fatima.

00:02:04Fatima al-Zahra, who was married to the cousin of the Holy Prophet, Imam Ali.

00:02:13And this lineage and the progeny continued through their sons Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn.

00:02:22Who the Holy Prophet would mention Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn.

00:02:26Sayyidah, Shababi, Ahlul Jannah.

00:02:29Hassan and Al-Husayn, these two are the masters of the youth of Paradise.

00:02:38The displays you are seeing here explain and show a few examples of the Ahadith traditions from the Holy Prophet regards to his beloved son, Imam Al-Husayn.

00:02:53Yes, the Holy Prophet would state, although they were Imam Hassan and Al-Husayn, his grandsons, he would state, they are as if my sons.

00:03:04And of the traditions that we can see here on display, the Holy Prophet mentions,

00:03:11Inna Al-Husayn misbah al-huda wa safinat al-najat.

00:03:17Verily, Imam Al-Husayn is the ark, the ship of salvation, and the lantern, the light of guidance.

00:03:31Two important concepts.

00:03:34If you wish for protection and salvation, then look towards Imam Al-Husayn.

00:03:41If you wish for guidance, direction in your life, then look and take Hussayn as your example, Imam Hussayn .

00:03:54Another Hadith on display here, whereby the Holy Prophet states,

00:03:59Hussaynon minni wa ana min Hussayn.

00:04:04Hussayn is from me, and I am from Hussayn.

00:04:09Ahabba Allah man ahabba Hussayna.

00:04:12Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves all of those who love Hussayn, emphasizing the love of Imam Al-Hussayn.

00:04:24Emphasizing the great reward of showing love towards Imam Al-Hussayn.

00:04:31Also, the Holy Prophet indicates clearly that his message and the legacy of the Holy Prophet and the teachings of the Holy Prophet continue through the teachings and life of Imam Al-Hussayn .

00:04:52The event of Mubahala, a very important incident that took place in the last few years of the Holy Prophet,

00:05:00whereby the Holy Prophet invited the Christian scholars of Najran, and they were into a discussion.

00:05:11They entered into this discussion about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the truth.

00:05:17The scholars of Najran, the Christian scholars, did not come to an agreement with the Holy Prophet.

00:05:24So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed to the Holy Prophet to perform a Mubahala.

00:05:29A Mubahala is a particular moment whereby the two opposing parties ask God to reveal and send his curse on the Holy Prophet.

00:05:46The Holy Prophet said, the Holy Prophet said, that you bring your sons and we'll bring our sons.

00:05:57You bring your women and we'll bring our women.

00:06:01You bring those of your own selves and we'll bring our own selves.

00:06:06The Holy Prophet brought as his own sons, the young Hassan al-Hussayn.

00:06:13As the woman, the Holy Prophet brought Fatimah al-Zahra alayhi salam, representing she was Sayyid ibn Sa'ul Alameen.

00:06:23And as those of his own selves, the Holy Prophet brought with him Imam Ali alayhi salam.

00:06:32The Christian scholars, as soon as they saw the shining luminous faces that were arriving.

00:06:41And that the Holy Prophet only brought five, the five that they were, Ahlul Kisa.

00:06:48Those five members, the Ahlul Bayt, the Holy Prophet, Imam Ali, Fatimah al-Zahra, Imam Hassan and Imam al-Hussayn.

00:07:00Immediately, they realized that the Holy Prophet and the ones who accompanied him are on the truth.

00:07:11And they decided not to participate in the event of Mubahala and ask for any curse of the liars.

00:07:20So they decided to enter into a tribute, an agreement with the Holy Prophet.

00:07:28Imam Hassan al-Hussayn were young members.

00:07:32They joined the Holy Prophet in this incident, the event of Mubahala.

00:07:40Hadith al-Kisa, an incident whereby the Holy Prophet, when he wasn't feeling too well,

00:07:49the first place he went to was to his beloved daughter's home.

00:07:55And he asked for that kisa, for that cloak.

00:08:00He placed the cloak on top of him.

00:08:04And one by one, every member of that household, the Holy Household, would enter.

00:08:12And they would ask for permission to be with the Holy Prophet, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussayn.

00:08:22The young sons of Imam Ali and Fatimah al-Zahra would ask for permission.

00:08:29They were delighted. They were happy to see their grandfather at home.

00:08:34And they would wish to be with him. And they would ask to be placed under the cloak.

00:08:39Imam Ali would enter the house and ask to be with the Holy Prophet under the cloak.

00:08:46Then Fatimah al-Zahra would join them. These five are known Ahlul Kisa.

00:08:53The Archangel Jibreel would descend to the earth and would reveal this verse from the Holy Qur'an.

00:09:03Chapter 33, verse 33.

00:09:07إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهِ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْخِيرًا

00:09:15حَدِيثُ الْكِسَاءُ

00:09:17The Holy Prophet, he also rises, raises his hands in dua.

00:09:26And he asks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:09:30اللَّهُمْ نَ إِنَّ هَا أُولَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِ

00:09:33These five, us five, we are the holy household. We are the Ahlul Bayt.

00:09:39And he asks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:09:42لَحْمُهُمْ لَحْمِي وَدَمُهُمْ دَمِي

00:09:45Their flesh is like my flesh. Their blood is like my blood.

00:09:50They are part of me.

00:09:52إِنَّهُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ

00:09:55سِلْمٌ إِنِّي سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَهُمْ وَحَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبَهُمْ

00:10:00Whoever loves them, loves the Holy Prophet.

00:10:04Whoever is at war with them is as if they are at war with the Holy Prophet.

00:10:12He continues to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:10:16فَاجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَدَرَكَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ وَغْفُرَانَكَ وَرِضْوَانَكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ

00:10:24He asks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to continue to bless the Ahlul Bayt.

00:10:30Hasan and Hussain were the young members of the Ahlul Kisa.

00:10:36This hadith is narrated from a great companion by the name of Jabir ibn Abdillahi Al-Ansari.

00:10:45Hadith Al-Kisa عن Jabir ibn Abdillahi Al-Ansari, عن Fatimah Al-Zahra.

00:10:52It's highly recommended to recite this hadith regularly for it has many blessings and many, many, many who recite this hadith, their hajaat is given by the wasilah, by the intercession of the Ahlul Bayt.

00:11:11When Imam Hassan and Hussain were young, they were not feeling well.

00:11:16The Holy Prophet advised Imam Ali and Fatimah Al-Zahra to perform a nidhr, a vow, that when they recover, fully recover, to fast three consecutive days.

00:11:30The family were fasting, Imam Ali, Fatimah Al-Zahra, Imam Hassan and Hussain.

00:11:38And at the time of Iftar, there was a knock on the door.

00:11:44Who is it?

00:11:47A miskin, a poor beggar.

00:11:52Oh Ahlul Bayt,

00:11:55Oh beloved family of the Holy Prophet,

00:11:58I'm asking you for help.

00:12:01Now, can you imagine yourselves in that position?

00:12:03It's the time of Iftar, there is a knock on the door.

00:12:08Asking for help.

00:12:10What did the Ahlul Bayt do?

00:12:12They gave the food and the meal that they had prepared for themselves to that miskin.

00:12:20And they broke their Iftar with very few.

00:12:24Next day they were fasting.

00:12:25At the time of Iftar, a Yateen, a young orphan, knocked on the door.

00:12:35Oh Ahlul Bayt, you are known for your generosity, provide for me.

00:12:40The Ahlul Bayt, Imam Hassan and Hussain, Imam Ali Fatimah Al-Zahra, gave the food that they had prepared for themselves.

00:12:47An example of self-sacrifice, an example of altruism.

00:12:53This is what we learned from the Ahlul Bayt.

00:12:56The third consecutive day, the Ahlul Bayt were fasting.

00:13:00A recently released captive, Asir, knocked on the door.

00:13:08Oh Ahlul Bayt, I'm here for help.

00:13:12I'm asking you, help me, provide me.

00:13:14And they gave them the food.

00:13:18Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed the verses in Surat Al-Dahar, Surat Al-Insan.

00:13:26Regards to the great sacrifice of the Ahlul Bayt.

00:13:30وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

00:13:39And they provide and offer the meal out of love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:13:47To the miskeen, to the yateen, to the aseer.

00:13:51Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala teaches us all today great lessons from their life.

00:13:59From their lives, what can we learn?

00:14:02Allah states,

00:14:05إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ

00:14:08That this offering of the Ahlul Bayt was just for the sake of Allah.

00:14:13Anything we do, brothers and sisters, should be just for the sake of Allah,

00:14:18like the Ahlul Bayt and their offering.

00:14:22لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُرًا

00:14:26We do not ask for a return of this reward,

00:14:29neither do we expect you to thank us for this.

00:14:33For this is an offering for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:14:37Allah glorified and highlights to us their great sacrifice

00:14:43and their great position in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:14:46the great status of the Ahlul Bayt in Surat al-Dah, Surat al-Insan,

00:14:52the event of the offering of the sacrifice,

00:14:56the offering of the food to the vulnerable ones.

00:14:59The Holy Prophet showed immense love towards Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain.

00:15:06On many occasions, he highlights this.

00:15:11He would carry them on his shoulders and he would state,

00:15:14whoever loves the Holy Prophet and whoever loves these two pointing towards Hasan and Hussain.

00:15:26Wa abuhuma wa ummahuma and their father and their mother, Imam Ali and Fatima al-Zahra alayhim as-salam,

00:15:35kaana ma'i fil jannah shall be with Rasulullah in paradise, inshaAllah.

00:15:42On another occasion, Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain who were very young,

00:15:46they would approach Rasulullah, the Holy Prophet would be in prayers,

00:15:55in sajda and they would climb on his back and the Holy Prophet would prolong his sajda.

00:16:02continuation in the recitation of Dhikr and Tasbir.

00:16:09When Rasulullah completed his prayers, they asked the Holy Prophet,

00:16:13Ya Rasulullah, why did you prolong the prayers and your sajda?

00:16:17He said, I did not wish to hurt Hasan and Hussain as they were on my shoulders.

00:16:28Even Rasulullah in the Masjid and when he is in prayers,

00:16:39he showed his immense love towards Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain.

00:16:44He never wished to ever, to ever hurt them and he wished to emphasise this,

00:16:54that never, never hurt my beloved Hasan and Hussain.

00:17:00Whoever hurts them, then it's as if they have hurt Rasulullah.

00:17:05Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in fact, revealed in the Holy Quran,

00:17:11a response to those who came to Rasulullah and said, Ya Rasulullah, we wish to gift you.

00:17:18We wish to return the reward and provide for you.

00:17:23What would you like Ya Rasulullah?

00:17:26Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala states, and revealed this verse,

00:17:30Qul, say to them, La as'alukum alayhi ajran illa almawaddata fil qurba.

00:17:39Say, I do not ask for you of any reward except this reward.

00:17:47Show love towards my near relatives, my qurba.

00:17:52They asked, Ya Rasulullah, who are these near relatives whereby Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made it wajib upon us to show love towards?

00:18:05The Holy Prophet responds,

00:18:06They are Ali and Fatima and the sons and the children of Ali and Fatima.

00:18:18And how years pass from the departure of Rasulullah,

00:18:25Did they show love towards Imam Ali and Fatima?

00:18:32Did they show love towards Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain?

00:18:37And what occurred in the tragic events of Karbala and the day of Ashura?

00:18:44Whoever loves Rasulullah must love Imam Hussain.

00:18:48Whoever loves Imam Hussain must love Rasulullah.

00:18:53Whoever loves them loves Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:18:59And this is also a message to us, brothers and sisters.

00:19:03Today, how much love do I show towards Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain?

00:19:07Do I show like the love that Rasulullah showed and emphasized and had towards his beloved Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain?

00:19:19And the love towards Ahlulbayt and love towards Rasulullah and love towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:19:27The Holy Prophet many times informed the people,

00:19:30informed the close lovers of the tragic events of Karbala,

00:19:39tragic events of the day of Ashura.

00:19:42He informed his beloved daughter Fatima al-Zahra alayhi salam

00:19:47of what would occur towards Hussain ibn Ali, towards his beloved Imam Hussain.

00:19:53On one occasion also, the Holy Prophet informed his noble wife Umm Salamah

00:20:01of the events of Karbala.

00:20:05The Holy Prophet departs from this world in the year 11 after Hijrah.

00:20:13Before that, he informs Umm Salamah about the events of Hussain,

00:20:20the martyrdom of Hussain ibn Ali.

00:20:24And he provides her with a flask,

00:20:26Karura.

00:20:28With it, within it,

00:20:30some soil, some dust,

00:20:33and informs her

00:20:36that Umm Salamah, keep this safe.

00:20:39When you notice that it's become red color of blood,

00:20:44know that that is the day that my beloved Hussain has become a martyr.

00:20:53Imam Hussain becomes a Shaheed,

00:20:57nearly 50 years later, 61 after Hijrah,

00:21:01and Umm Salamah saw Hussain ibn Ali and his martyrdom.

00:21:08She realized from the events of the flask.

00:21:13Towards the end of the month of Rajab, 60 years after Hijrah,

00:21:19Imam Hussain, he very well knew that he was heading on this Hussaini mission.

00:21:26He provides his will, a message, to his brother Muhammad, Hanafiyyah.

00:21:35He informs him,

00:21:36That I am not leaving and departing for any evil, for any sinful light.

00:21:55Rather,

00:21:57and this is the prime aim of Imam Hussain alayhi as-salaam,

00:22:02Kharajtu li talab al-islah fi ummati jaddi.

00:22:08Rasulullah, the Holy Prophet.

00:22:11He states that I am here to reform.

00:22:15I am taking this move to reform the message of Rasulullah,

00:22:20to return to the true Islam,

00:22:24to bring people back towards the path of Allah subha wa ta'ala,

00:22:30the Ummah, the awakening of the Ummah,

00:22:33return the Ummah, save the Ummah,

00:22:36and bring them towards the truth.

00:22:39Hussain, Hussain, the ark of salvation.

00:22:43This was a few months before the event of Karbala,

00:22:50end of the month of Rajab,

00:22:53whereby Imam Hussain bids farewell to the Holy City of Medina,

00:22:58and heads towards the Holy City of Mecca,

00:23:03a few months before Ashura.

00:23:06The final departure was a very eventful moment.

00:23:16The departure of Imam Hussain from Medina,

00:23:20whereby the Holy Imam would go to the shrine of his beloved grandfather Rasulullah,

00:23:27and he would sit beside the grave of the Holy Prophet,

00:23:30and he would inform him of the tragic events.

00:23:36He would inform him of the oppression that's taking place towards the Ahlul Bayt.

00:23:41And according to certain reciters who record this event,

00:23:51they state, these scholars state that Imam Al Hussain,

00:23:59he slept beside the Holy Prophet's grave.

00:24:05For a few moments, he saw the Holy Prophet in his dream,

00:24:09and the Holy Prophet said,

00:24:11that soon you will join us after your tragic martyrdom.

00:24:16Indeed, the farewell of Imam Al Hussain,

00:24:19not only with the Holy Prophet during his life,

00:24:22but even the farewell of Imam Al Hussain,

00:24:26with the grave of Imam's grandfather,

00:24:29with the grave of his beloved Holy Prophet,

00:24:33was a tearful, sad event.

00:24:37The Holy Prophet's beloved grandson, Imam Al Hussain,

00:24:41leaves Medina with his family and the companions.

00:24:45They asked,

00:24:48why are you leaving?

00:24:50He states,

00:24:52why are you taking the woman with you?

00:24:57.

00:25:00Allah wills,

00:25:02Imam Al Hussain will become a martyr in this mission and message.

00:25:06Allah wills,

00:25:07Allah wills,

00:25:08the women and the family will have their role and their mission,

00:25:12the mission of Imam Al Hussain,

00:25:14the role of Sayyidah Zainab and the women in Karbala and Sham,

00:25:19and their return to Medina.

00:25:22Some of the women and family members of Imam Al Hussain joined him from Medina to Mecca towards Karbala.

00:25:36One of them who remained in Medina was a young daughter of Imam Al Hussain, Fatima Sohra.

00:25:46She was too ill.

00:25:48She was a young daughter and she always loved her father so much.

00:25:58Imam Al Hussain informed her that she was named Fatima like his mother and that she would be patient and needs to be patient.

00:26:11She would constantly wait and wait for news of her father until she would receive the news of her father's martyrdom.

00:26:29Fatima Sohra bint Al Hussain,

00:26:34she cherished the moments of that farewell.

00:26:38It was a very tragic moment when a father bids farewell towards their daughter.

00:26:52Up to 30,000 letters of support were sent to Imam Al Hussain.

00:26:59Imam Al Hussain sent his cousin Muslim Ibn Aqeel,

00:27:05a brave warrior to the people of Kufa as his ambassador.

00:27:13Muslim Ibn Aqeel had a great role and was truly pivotal in the mission and the message of Imam Al Hussain.

00:27:23Imam Al Hussain also sent letters to people of Basra, people of Kufa and others to join Imam Al Hussain.

00:27:33The first of those who were martyred in the mission of Imam Al Hussain was in fact Muslim Ibn Aqeel.

00:27:46Muslim Ibn Aqeel, the one who was the ambassador of Imam Al Hussain.

00:27:52On the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, the holy city of Mecca, Imam Hussain was present.

00:28:01Companions, family members, the rest of the Muslims were there too.

00:28:06Imam Hussain was aware that there was a plan to assassinate him in the holy city of Mecca during the rituals of Hajj.

00:28:16So he decided to perform the Umrah instead of the Hajj.

00:28:27On the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, 60 years after Hijrah.

00:28:31Imam Hussain with the family members who were with him and the companions after the sermon of Imam Al Hussain,

00:28:39Imam Al Hussain, they made their way towards Karbala.

00:28:46Imam Al Hussain who left the holy city of Mecca on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah with the family members and companions.

00:28:58Some of the companions joined Imam Al Hussain on that journey, the journey towards Karbala.

00:29:09On the 2nd of Muharram, 61 years after Hijrah, Imam Al Hussain and the family and the companions, they arrived to this land.

00:29:24They asked, what is the name of this land?

00:29:30Certain people said, Ardul-Hafriyyah and others said different names until the name of Karbala was announced.

00:29:46Imam Al Hussain said to the family, children, to the companions,

00:29:52Ha-hahuna, here is where we are going to remain and stay.

00:29:59Ha-hahuna, this is the place that we are going to remain.

00:30:05Imam Al Hussain, he placed the tents of the family and the tents of the companions

00:30:12and a ditch surrounding the tents of the families and the companions, protecting the families and the companions of Imam Al Hussain.

00:30:25Imam Al Hussain, the river of Furat, the river of Furat was streaming and flowing.

00:30:33The enemies, they one by one would arrive to Karbala in their thousands.

00:30:44And they would stand blocking the river of Furat, blocking Imam Al Hussain and the family and companions reaching for some water.

00:31:01Until the events of Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram.

00:31:14The night of the tenth, Imam Al Hussain and the family and the companions spent in Ibadah, spent in worship.

00:31:22And their tents reciting Qur'an and du'a and remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:31:30Imam Al Hussain and Karbala, there is no day like this day.

00:31:37One by one on the day of Ashura, the companions would defend their master Imam Al Hussain.

00:31:43One by one they would become eternal martyrs, shuhada of Karbala.

00:31:52Every single companion is a lesson for us.

00:31:56Their love to their master, their loyalty towards Imam Al Hussain.

00:32:01When all of the companions became shuhada, the first member of the family of Banu Hashim,

00:32:10Banu Hashim, of the family of Imam Al Hussain, to offer himself in sacrifice,

00:32:17was none other than the very own son of Imam Al Hussain, Ali Al-Akbar.

00:32:25When Imam Al Hussain bears witness to such a moment, whereby his son is taking the steps of farewell,

00:32:41steps, steps, whereby his son, his beloved son, Ali Al-Akbar, is taking these steps towards the battlefield.

00:32:57Imam Al Hussain raises his hands in du'a.

00:32:59Allahumma shahad.

00:33:01Oh Allah, bear witness upon this quam, upon this nation.

00:33:06A man, a young man has entered the battlefield.

00:33:14Ali Al-Akbar.

00:33:15The one, Ali Al-Akbar, who resembles Rasulullah, his grandfather, in his looks, in his morals, in his characteristics.

00:33:33And whenever we yearned for Rasulullah, we used to look up the face of Ali Al-Akbar.

00:33:42Ali Al-Akbar defends Islam, defends Aba Abdillah Al-Hussain, and the farewell of Imam Al-Hussain,

00:33:52and his beloved Ali Al-Akbar, is so tragic, that when Imam Al-Hussain approaches his son, in his final moments,

00:34:03Buna Ali, Buna Ali, Ala Dunya Ba'daka Al-Afa.

00:34:10My beloved Ali, life has no true significance and meaning after your loss, O Ali, O Ali, O Ali Akbar.

00:34:25Imam Hassan had a role in Karbala, his sons, they offered themselves as a sacrifice in the events of Karbala.

00:34:37One notable figure was Qasim ibn al-Hussain.

00:34:42Qasim, the son of Imam Al-Hussain, was a young member of the Ahlul Bayt,

00:34:49a young member of the ones who were in Karbala.

00:34:54He would constantly ask Imam Al-Hussain for permission.

00:34:57Imam Al-Hussain would say,

00:34:59Oh beloved Qasim, you are the Amanah of my beloved Imam Al-Hussain, my beloved brother.

00:35:11Until Qasim asks his mother, his mother provides a letter.

00:35:16That letter, when Imam Al-Hussain reads, he reads the message of his beloved brother Imam Al-Hussain.

00:35:26Whereby, in that message, he informs his son Qasim, to be there for his beloved uncle Imam Al-Hussain.

00:35:38And stand firm in support of the truth, in love of the truth.

00:35:44Qasim, a young member of the Ahlul Bayt, a young member of Banu Hashim, enters the battlefield.

00:35:52And shows his love towards his beloved master Imam Al-Hussain.

00:35:57And becomes one of the young shuhada of Karbala.

00:36:01Those who hear your event, never feel the same.

00:36:06They cry and mourn, when they hear of your name.

00:36:10And even more, when they hear of your pain.

00:36:14Abbas, Abbas, Abbas, Abba al-Faddil Abbas.

00:36:20The brother of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:36:23Abbas, the flag bearer.

00:36:26Abbas, who was the one, who Imam Al-Hussain would state.

00:36:33Anta hamilu lighai.

00:36:37You are my flag bearer.

00:36:40Abbas, Abba al-Faddil Abbas would ask Imam Al-Hussain for permission to enter the battlefield.

00:36:47Imam Al-Hussain would state.

00:36:50Oh Abbas, you are my beloved one.

00:36:53Oh Abbas, you are my flag bearer.

00:36:57Abbas says that I can no longer take it to hear the cry and the screams of the young ones, the young children.

00:37:08Al-Aqash, Al-Aqash, crying for some water.

00:37:14For days they have not had access to the water.

00:37:18They are thirsty.

00:37:20They wish some water.

00:37:23Imam Al-Hussain grants permission for Abbas to seek some water, to bring back some water.

00:37:33Abbas mounts his horse with the flag and the bag, the container, the water container.

00:37:44And he enters the battlefield.

00:37:47He defeats those in front of him.

00:37:51And he arrives to the river of Euphrates.

00:37:55The river of Farrat.

00:37:57Abbas himself, he is thirsty.

00:38:02But all he is thinking of is of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:38:07Lady Zayna, the women, the children, Badu Hashim and all the lovers of Imam Al-Hussain and how thirsty they are.

00:38:17He fills the bag with water.

00:38:20Raises his hand.

00:38:23Abbas, would he drink water or would he not?

00:38:31In that water, it's as if he sees the reflection of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:38:40Of the women and children.

00:38:43Splashes the water away.

00:38:45Ya nafs, min ba'ad al-Hussain.

00:38:49Huni, wa tashrabina bared al-ma'ini.

00:38:53O self of Abbas, you can never accept to drink water whilst your master Hussain is thirsty.

00:39:05He rides upon the horse with the flag, bag container.

00:39:11Abbas, with that sword, with that level of courage, courage, braveness.

00:39:18Warrior Abbas, returning towards the Khaymah, returning towards the tent.

00:39:25And he constantly looks towards the tent.

00:39:28O Abba Abdillah, your brother Abba al-Fadl is returning with the water.

00:39:34The enemies, they surround Abba al-Fadl, Abbas.

00:39:39They don't wish Imam Al-Hussain to have water.

00:39:43Neither the family, neither the children.

00:39:46And they try their best to stop Abbas from returning.

00:39:51They try their best to stop Abbas from taking some water towards Imam Al-Hussain.

00:39:58One of the enemy men.

00:40:00He strikes Abbas right hand.

00:40:03Wa Allah, in qatatumu yameeni, inni uhami abadan an dini by Allah.

00:40:14Even now that you have struck my right arm, Abbas shall continue to defend his master.

00:40:22Defend his deen. Defend his faith.

00:40:26He constantly looks towards the tent, towards Abbas.

00:40:31Abbas looks towards Abba Abdillah.

00:40:34He looks towards that angle.

00:40:36He looks towards them.

00:40:38A man strikes him on his left arm.

00:40:42Wa Allah, by Allah, Abbas shall continue.

00:40:47The back is placed between his chest and his body, his teeth.

00:40:53He tries his best to continue to return the water.

00:40:58They start to attack Abbas from different angles.

00:41:03They shower him with the arrows.

00:41:07One arrow strikes Abbas's eye.

00:41:13One arrow strikes and pierces the bag filled with water.

00:41:19The bag filled with water.

00:41:22Now that it's pierced, the water gushes.

00:41:27The water gushes onto the floor.

00:41:30Abbas fa waqafa mutahayyaram.

00:41:34What should he do?

00:41:35Should he return?

00:41:37Where should he go?

00:41:39There is no longer water.

00:41:41They start to attack him until one enemy of Allah,

00:41:46He raises an iron pole.

00:41:49And he strikes Abbas on his head.

00:41:53And Abbas falls onto the floor.

00:41:56Brothers and sisters, think of this.

00:41:59When we fall onto the floor, we have two hands.

00:42:03Abbas had no two hands.

00:42:06He fell harshly onto the floor.

00:42:09He calls out, Abba Abdillah, my brother, Abba Abdillah.

00:42:14Imam al-Husayn's most tragic moment was such that he returns towards Abbas's body.

00:42:25And he bids farewell.

00:42:27And then when he returns towards the Khaymah, he calls out,

00:42:32Wallah al-anin kasara zahri.

00:42:38Now, my back is broken due to the loss of my beloved Abbas.

00:42:45Ya Abbas, ma amiti.

00:42:48Ma'ati shariha. Ya Abbas.

00:42:53The final moments of Imam al-Husayn.

00:42:57Imam al-Husayn was given his beloved six-month-old baby.

00:43:04Abdullah al-Radi Ali al-Asghar, who was thirsty, had no milk, has not been fed.

00:43:17Say to Zainab asked, Oh Imam al-Husayn, can you request them?

00:43:22Maybe they will be able to fight Ali al-Asghar, the six-month-old baby, some water.

00:43:29They've been so unjust.

00:43:31They've been so oppressive.

00:43:33Imam al-Husayn walked towards the battlefield.

00:43:40With the baby under his cloak, under his Abbas.

00:43:45And then, he raised the baby.

00:43:48And informed them,

00:43:50Oh enemies,

00:43:53If there was any sin for the elders,

00:43:58What crime has this young baby done?

00:44:04The elders had no crime.

00:44:06The young ones have had no crime.

00:44:08I've done nothing towards you.

00:44:12Esquh.

00:44:13Ughduh.

00:44:14Esquh.

00:44:15Take him.

00:44:16Take him.

00:44:17Provide him with some water.

00:44:19He's had no water.

00:44:20He's dying from thirst.

00:44:23Between the enemies,

00:44:25There was discord.

00:44:26Some said, Let's provide the baby some water.

00:44:29Some said, No.

00:44:30Some said, Let's provide.

00:44:33Until Umar ibn al-Sa'af told Harmala.

00:44:36Harmala.

00:44:37Iqt'a niya talqom.

00:44:39Harmala.

00:44:40Silence all of the army.

00:44:42He said, How?

00:44:43What should I do?

00:44:44Should I give him water?

00:44:45Should I give the baby some water?

00:44:47He said, No.

00:44:48Provide him with an arrow.

00:44:51Harmala.

00:44:52Harmala shot a three-pronged arrow.

00:44:56He put it into the neck of Ali Ghazghar.

00:45:00Abdullah al-Razi'ah.

00:45:02Such that the blood would gush out.

00:45:05And Ali Ghazghar's hands would be flapping like a bird flapping its wings.

00:45:13Imam al-Husayn would state and call out.

00:45:17Oh Allah.

00:45:18Hawwana alayya.

00:45:20Oh Allah.

00:45:21Bear witness.

00:45:22Oh Allah.

00:45:23You bear witness upon this tragedy and grief.

00:45:28Imam al-Husayn after all the companions and the family members have become shuhada of Karbala.

00:45:40He looks to one side and looks to another.

00:45:43He calls out.

00:45:44Is there anyone to be victorious with Aba Abdullah al-Husayn?

00:46:01He informs the family, the women, that this is the time of wada.

00:46:09This is the time of farewell.

00:46:12Alaykum bil sabr.

00:46:15Make sure that you are patient throughout.

00:46:18You'll be having difficult moments, trials, tribulations.

00:46:23But throughout these moments, make sure you are patient.

00:46:27One by one, Imam al-Husayn bids farewell towards the woman.

00:46:33Towards his family members.

00:46:36Towards his beloved ones, his daughters, his sisters.

00:46:40And they are all attached towards Imam al-Husayn.

00:46:44As if to say, Ya Aba Abdullah, we cannot bear your absence.

00:46:49Ya Aba Abdullah, remain with us.

00:46:52Imam al-Husayn bids farewell.

00:46:55As he mounts his horse heading towards the battlefield.

00:47:01He hears a call.

00:47:04Mahlan mahla.

00:47:05Ya Abna Zahra.

00:47:07Slow down, slow down.

00:47:10O son of Zahra.

00:47:12Come back.

00:47:13He looks behind him.

00:47:14And he sees his beloved sister.

00:47:17His sister Zaynam.

00:47:19He approaches her.

00:47:22She says, Oh Aba Abdullah.

00:47:25Oh beloved brother.

00:47:27There is a final.

00:47:28There is a final.

00:47:29There is a final.

00:47:31Final.

00:47:32Farewell.

00:47:33And this is it.

00:47:35Oh Aba Abdullah.

00:47:38And she kisses and embraces him.

00:47:42Here and here.

00:47:44And then she says, points herself towards Medina.

00:47:49And she says, Oh mother, I have returned the Amanah.

00:47:54I have performed the promise that I gave you.

00:47:57What is it?

00:47:59Imam Hussain asks.

00:48:01She says, when it was the final moments of our beloved mother Fatima al-Zahra.

00:48:08She said, Oh Zaynab, you would be there.

00:48:11When Hussain our son.

00:48:14My son would be all alone.

00:48:17Make sure you kiss him and embrace him on his chest.

00:48:21His neck.

00:48:23These are the places.

00:48:26Where Aba Abdullah in a few moments.

00:48:30When he enters the battlefield of Karbala.

00:48:34And they start to attack him from one side.

00:48:38And then another side.

00:48:40And they start to strike Aba Abdullah with the swords.

00:48:44And they start to pelt stones.

00:48:46And Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:48:49And they start to shower his body with arrows.

00:48:55Every one of them, the enemies, start to attack Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:49:01The grand son of Rasulullah.

00:49:04The son of Amir al-Mu'mineen.

00:49:06Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima al-Zahra.

00:49:09Sayyid ibn Sa'ul Alameen.

00:49:11Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:49:12Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:49:14Lay on that side.

00:49:17The side of Karbala.

00:49:19And Shemr ibn al-Jawsham.

00:49:23And the enemy members.

00:49:25They start to attack him.

00:49:27Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:49:29As Imam Hussain was in the middle of the taf.

00:49:44The battlefield.

00:49:45The enemies attacked Imam Al-Hussain.

00:49:48Lady Zainab al-Kubra.

00:49:50She would be on that raised land called Tella Zainabiyya.

00:49:55She would call out.

00:49:57Wa Muhammadah.

00:49:59Ya Rasulullah, bear witness.

00:50:01Bear witness.

00:50:03Your grandson Hatha Hussainuk.

00:50:06Your beloved grandson in the plains of Karbala.

00:50:11And they are attacking Imam Al-Hussain.

00:50:14She would state these words.

00:50:17That one day I saw Rasulullah embrace Aba Abdullah.

00:50:22Now the swords of Banu Umayyah.

00:50:27Are attacking Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:50:31Ya Hussain.

00:50:34After the martyrdom of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:50:37The enemies started to attack the tents.

00:50:40The women.

00:50:41The children.

00:50:42They were fleeing from one tent to another.

00:50:45Not only they attacked the women and the children.

00:50:47They started to burn the tents.

00:50:50And the women.

00:50:51And the young children.

00:50:53They were looking towards their aunt.

00:50:55Sayyidah Zainab alayhi salam.

00:50:57And Sayyidah Zainab would protect them.

00:50:59One by one.

00:51:01And gather them.

00:51:02One of the young children.

00:51:05One of the young daughters of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:51:07Would see the enemy.

00:51:08And that enemy member.

00:51:10That army member.

00:51:11He was so cruel.

00:51:13That he attacked her.

00:51:15And grabbed and snatched her jewellery.

00:51:19Her earrings from her ears.

00:51:22And they would be crying.

00:51:24Calling out.

00:51:25Oh father.

00:51:26Ya Aba Abdullah al-Hussain.

00:51:28That night.

00:51:41Husbands.

00:51:42Their beloved brothers.

00:51:43Their beloved family members.

00:51:48Of the family members.

00:51:49Of Imam Al-Hussain.

00:51:50Alayhi Salaam.

00:59:06Father.

00:59:07Father.

00:59:08Aba Abdillah Al Hussein.

00:59:10Who severed your head.

00:59:13Aba Abdillah.

00:59:14Who trenched your beard.

00:59:17beard, full of blood, Abba, Abba, Abba, until there was a silence, until there was no call

00:59:27of Father, Father.

00:59:29Imam Zainul Abdeen says, Amma Zainab, inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'oom, for the young

00:59:39sister of mine has also become one of the shuhada, she has also passed away the young

00:59:51Ruqayya, this young daughter of Imam Al-Husayn, inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'oom.

01:00:02Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, on the 20th of Safa, he was with his companion Atiyah,

01:00:12they're roaming in the lands of Iraq, Jabir would ask Atiyah, take me towards my Habib,

01:00:21my beloved Husayn, Atiyah would pass some of the sands, and pass it to Jabir, Jabir would

01:00:29say, no, we need to move to the sand where my beloved Husayn is buried, until they come

01:00:36to a sand, the sand of Karbala, the shrine, the place of the burial of Imam Al-Husayn.

01:00:45Jabir, after he has performed the ghusl, he wishes to perform the ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn,

01:00:55he places his hands at the gravesite of Imam Al-Husayn, he calls out, As-salamu alayka ya

01:01:06Aba Abdillah, peace and blessings upon you, greetings upon you Aba Abdillah, he calls out,

01:01:16Habibi Husayn, oh beloved Aba Abdillah al-Husayn, Habibun la yujeebu Habibah, oh beloved Husayn,

01:01:28how is it, why is it I can't hear a response? Jabir is actually reciting Masaib here, he says,

01:01:35Wa anna laka bil jawab, and the reason why, because Aba Abdillah al-Husayn, your head is

01:01:44on the spares, your body is here, your head is on the spares, after they attacked Aba

01:01:52Abdillah al-Husayn, and Jabir recites the Masaib of Aba Abdillah al-Husayn, he calls out, then he

01:02:00says to Atiyah, that I heard Rasulullah states, if anyone loves the action of a particular one,

01:02:13and wishes to be with them, to be with the shuhada of Karbala, then they should show their

01:02:21love towards them, and wish, and have the intention to be with them. Atiyah and Jabir

01:02:29have the intention to be of those true companions and lovers of Imam al-Husayn. This Jabir ibn

01:02:36Abdillah al-Ansari is the one who Imam Zayn al-Abideen meets on the day of Arba'een. Imam Zayn al-Abideen

01:02:45informs him of the tragic events that took place in Karbala.
