This lecture explores the spiritual journey toward Imam Mahdi, emphasizing that it requires profound inner purity and intellectual depth rather than surface-level rituals. The speaker connects theological concepts like Alam al-Zar, the role of humanity as representatives of God, and the true meaning of Adam's test to broader spiritual truths. True devotion involves recognizing our limitations, seeking divine guidance, and aligning ourselves with the path of Prophet Muhammad and Ahl al-Bayt. Ultimately, the road to Imam Mahdi requires continuous self-cleansing, sincerity, and combining faith with a deeper understanding of reality.
Allahuma salli ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi tayyibin tahirin. Allahuma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad. Inshallah our lecture is going to be today about the road to Imam Mahdi Salamullah alayh. The road to Imam Mahdi is its easy way, at the same time it's very complicated way. When you go your way to Imam Mahdi Salamullah alayh, you have to know many things. It's not just you do your just regular duties.
It is something about purity. Something about purity of ideas, purity of the soul, purity of many things that we every single day live with. Many people think that if you cry a little bit about you missing Imam Mahdi, immediately you're going to see him. Even though many narration from many people around us, they will say I did see him in my alhamdulillah for example, in my dreams. Some people they say that I saw him in my dreams, but I didn't really look at his face.
His face was full of nur. Some people they will say I was, for example, in my dream doing so and so and suddenly Imam Mahdi came in or one of the Ahlulbeit Salamullah alayhim and then my dream continued or there's a message for me or so on. With this lectures is going to be not just seeing Imam Mahdi in dreams and or dreaming or you make your own ideas about Imam Mahdi. No, we really need to adjust many theories to see him.
It is like a struggle for us to see him. It's like we have been waiting in Alam al-Zar. Alam al-Zar is the place where we were before here, Alam al-Dunya. Alam al-Dunya, the place of Dunya. Before Alam al-Dunya, there is Alam al-Arham. The womb, the womb has different and then there is alam after the womb, there is alam ad-dunya. And before that alam zar. Zar when you were inside this place where all the spirits gather before we come here.
So when Allah created that just for the people who don't know what's Alam al-Zar, Allah created us all at the same time. So you and your father and your grandfather and all those people even Adam himself was created with us at the same time. But Allah he managed to put us through each other just to take care of each other. That's why you have a son, that's why you have a father, he took care of you, he spent money to teach you, he took you to different place.
Why? Because we need that. Ourselves, Allah when he created us, we know we are very, very, very delicate creature. We are different than different animals. We need someone to take care of us for us to reach the safe place so we can continue with our message. We bring kids, we give them knowledge and so on and then they will continue. This is what we called Imar al-Ard. Imar al-Ard is yani we make the ard as a heaven for us.
But the problem now we're seeing is when we keep talking about khalifatullah ala al-ard, Allah in Quran many time he mentioned the khilafa, the khilafa mean not the successorship. If you translated directly it would be the successorship, but he mean someone who represent Allah on earth. Because he always need someone to represent him. When we created everything at the very beginning, Allah because it's impossible for us to understand what is he exactly.
It's impossible to understand what is Allah. Even the name Allah, I mentioned this in many lecture but for the new people, is a creation. Allah, the name Allah is a creation. And I always give the proof for that for example, alif in Allah if you take it out, if you write Allah in Arabic alif would be you take it out will be Lillah, you take the second letter out will be lahu for him, you take the third one will be huwa.
Huwa means all gather together. And then huwa as a letter Arabic exist in the heart. If you see the heart itself, it look like the Arabic letter ha. Ha mean huwa, huwa because in Quran he said he is closer to you than your jugular vein. So many philosopher they will sit down they will said okay, there's the jugular vein and there's the heart. There is this is the heart and this is the jugular vein. So how Allah is closer to us than the jugular vein?
So there are many philosopher, and I'm just making fun it's not philosophy, it's not good to say what exactly their meaning because they're taking knowledge from different school of Ahlulbeit. Allah he was actually mentioning the heart itself. He didn't mention there's a hidden place between the jugular vein and the heart. He's mentioning the heart itself, but he didn't want to mention it because some people use the heart for bad things.
Some people they love someone who you shouldn't be in love with because he is against Allah's wishes or something. So he did not use the word heart because of that. If you are close to Allah Azza wa Jal, then your heart is representing the throne of Allah. So in going back to our subject, just a little briefing, in going back to the subject, we see when we start speaking about the road, I mean, speaking about Khilafa.
Khilafa means someone is going to represent Allah on earth. And there's very, very, very bad understanding about Adam Alayhi Salaam. Very bad understanding. Many people still thinking Adam was really in heaven. He was in real the heaven upstairs, and then Allah Azza wa Jal when he said to the devil, you cannot come anymore to heaven. So what he did because he's a tricky person, the devil, what did he do? He made himself as a serpent or a different animal and then he came into the heaven.
So he started whispering to Adam and Adam, he listened to him and then Allah, he was so angry that he listened to the serpent and then he threw him all down to earth.
In reality, this did not happen. Adam, Allah Azza wa Jal created Adam for a reason. And let me tell you something to go more deeper into the subject because this subject is very classical. I'll go a little bit deeper. Allah Azza wa Jal through Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, through Ameer al-Mu'minin, which is he said, before your Adam was 1,000, 1,000 Adam, and 1 million Adam before your Adam. What does it mean?
And there is different creatures that inhabit earth, inhabited earth before us. And they were all Adams. Adams mean the father of this creature. The father of this creature. This will explain the struggle that the people who believe in Darwinism, they will say, you know, we came in from those people, those genders, there's many, many different genders name. And then we're struggling which gender we came in from.
In reality, Allah Azza wa Jal created all those genders and he kept a link between each other. I will show you where the link exactly is. Now, the link on earth, but let me go back to Adam itself.
روح فيها. طيب علماء زي Angels will come and then Rooh is Jibril. طيب مع Jibril Gabriel alayhis salam is from the Malaika. Why Allah Azza wa Jal wanna mention Jibril with the Malaika at the same time? So there's something that doesn't make any sense. When he said, "تنزل الملائكة والروح," al-Rooh is the first thing that Allah Azza wa Jal created everything from. Everything from and Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim salawatullah alayhim,
through some narration, they said that Rooh is like a, it's like a big angel, big power. It has the faces of all the humans, all the creation, and every one of those faces are doing Tasbih for Allah. Actually, what they're talking about, they're talking about dimensional creation. They're not talking about third dimension like us. When they're speaking about there's too much Tasbih equal to all the creation, then this Rooh is something huge, big.
Something nobody can understand what is it, except if you combine 120,000 dimensions together, so you understand what is it exactly, which is impossible for us to do now. So far, do you understand what I'm saying or any questions? Okay. It's a little bit hard, but Inshallah, it will get easy. So, regarding Adam alayhis salam and I will reveal this now, a little bit by to show you why when we came into earth, Ahl al-Bayt alayhim salawatullah alayhim came with us,
because that's important to understand. Because some of you might ask, if there was 1 million Adam before us, I mean 1 million gender, did all genders have Ahl al-Bayt with them? I will tell you directly, did all genders have Iblis with them? No. None of those genders had neither Iblis, none of those genders had Ahl al-Bayt with them. Let me tell you why. Because when all the spirits were created at the very beginning of the time from Noor Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
all of them were created and each one of us came to a place that he chose that Adam, this is my Adam. For example, when I was there as just a light, I chose that person is my Adam. Why? Because there's a specific characteristic through the reflection of light. This is like a huge subject. I explain it many times in different lecture. But just I want you to understand about this and this Adam we chose it ourselves, because he looked like us.
I will show you where he look like us, because there's something called egotism and stuff like that. Because he looked like us, we chose him. So there's let's say 1 billion, billion person chose that Adam as their father. And there's 1 billion, billion person chose that Adam as their father. So Allah Azza wa Jal when he starts sending Adams, first Adam, second Adam, third Adam, all of Adams, none of those, none of them, they buried their their people inside earth.
None of them. All of them when they die, they die on, for example, they leave them in the face of the earth, and they put them, for example, inside cave and they leave. The only Adam that was buried is our Adam. Our people, the only people were buried. Before us, no one was buried. For example, two months ago I was reading a scientific journal, and they they said we discovered a new gender that's maybe 4 million years old, and there were like maybe two women, or one woman, and four kids inside that cave, and they were not buried.
But they're not from our human gender. They were from different gender. So they were wondering why they're not buried. Why when we find someone that different than our gender is not buried. The very, very, very simple things is because we did not understand who is our Adam. Let me let me show you who is our Adam. Our Adam is the person that Allah Azza wa Jal they put he put him in that heaven. He put that test on him.
Same thing like all Adams. He put all Adams in that heaven. And then for the certain period of time, he said, "If you don't eat from this tree, if you don't eat from this tree, you will go down to earth," because we were created to to be tested. Let me tell you. Don't blame women, to say, "Oh, women, they told Adam to go eat from this," and you know, some people they they they even buy a joke. They always blame ladies.
They say, "Ladies told us to eat the apple, that's why we're here, because of you." This is what they say. And actually it's not real. What happened is all Adams, they went to that earth for the certain period of time, and none of those people, none of those people approach that tree because that tree represent the tree of prophets, alayhis-salam. The tree of prophets. And I made fletchers through science, showing why where exactly this is exist here, because everything exist in normal life over here.
Anyway, so our Adam when he went to that heaven and Allah Azza wa Jal, he put him to to test. Now, the different test is, because let me show you where Ahl al-Bayt came in. Look. I want to I want to give you this ayah, because I want to give you proof. I don't want to just keep talking from my head, you will say, you know, all these stories, you didn't give us any proof yet. In Surah al-A'raf, number 20, he will say, "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim."
I will read it in Arabic and then English. "Fawaswasa lahuma al-shaytan liyubdi lahuma ma wuriya 'anhuma min saw'atihima wa qala ma nahakuma rabbukuma 'an hadihi al-shajarah illa 'an takuna malakayni 'aw takuna min al-khalidin." So, I'll read it in English, but the shaytan, the evil made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what been what had been hidden from them of their evil inclination. And he said, look what look how how tricky is he.
He said, "Your Lord has not forbidding you this tree except you that you may not both be two angels, or that you may not be immortal." First, the translation is wrong. Over here, the translation is wrong. Second, the meaning of the ayah is wrong too, because some people just they say, okay, let me give you what exactly this ayah is saying.
The the devil came in to the to to I'm I'm going to explain their perspective. I'll explain my perspective after. They said the devil came into Adam. He said to Adam, eat from this tree. If you eat from this tree, Allah he said, don't eat from it because if you eat from this, you will be an angel. And then after that, if you, if you be an angel, then you'll be immortal. You're not going to die anymore. First, there's a big mistake.
How, if I want to come to you now, let's say you have a million dollars. I will come to you, I'll say, if you make this business with me, you will make $1,000 more. Will you go with me? You're not going to go with me. Why? Because you already have a million. Why you want to go down? Adam and the mala'ikah, the mala'ikah came and they bow for Adam. So, Adam is higher than them. Why he want to eat from this tree to be an angel?
You see, we're just asking question. Why he ate from this tree to be an angel? It doesn't make any sense. So, over here, there is a something wrong. Over here, that the Iblis, he was saying, he was saying mala'kayn, mala'kayn, not angels, not not from mala'ikah.
It didn't this word didn't come from mala'ikah. It came from kingdom. Malak, for example, malak a king, if we want to talk about mala'kayn, then there is two kings that the the Iblis when he came in, I'll I'll repeat it back. When Iblis came in to Adam, our Adam, he said, "If you eat from this tree, you will be like those two kings over there. There's two noor, big noor over there. You'll be like them if you eat." And when you be like them, you will be immortal.
You will be close to God. Who ask those who are those mala'kayn are? Mala'kayn, those mala'kayn are is Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam and Imam Ali salam. Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
No. Inside those ones under Allah He mentioned many times in the Quran Tahtasra, under the ground. And nobody know what's under the ground, is it? What is it exactly? Under the ground is is no Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with holy family. And this Noor came came up as a tree. And those three there is those apple and every apple presented by a prophet. You want me to give you a fast example or you're fine with this idea?
I'll give you fast fast very fast. Are you following or? Okay. Please, if you're not following, tell me to repeat the idea. Let me give you very fast. I I always use this example. Let's say Isa Alayhi Salam. You Isa Alayhi Salam look at his name. Inside his name there is Yasin, inside his name. You saw Ain, ya, seen and then Alif Masrah, right? You know Arabic letters? Inside his name, Yasin. Yasin is Muhammad. Everybody know that one of his name is Muhammad.
And in the corner of Isa is Ali, Ain and Alif Masrah. You see? So Isa Alaihi Salam, Allah created Isa this way to show us that how Imam Ali was created from Rasulullah. You see? Let's say Nuh, Noah. I'm I'm giving you fast example for you to convince to be convinced. Noah is Nuh, Noon, Wau, Ha. Noon is one of the name of Rasulullah because Rasulullah and the Holy Quran, he had 11 names. One of those names is Noon. Noon is Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And then you have Nuh, Noon, Wa, Ha, Ha is Hussein. When when Rasulullah said Hussein, and he said later in different place, what what Noah present? He present the ship, right? And he said, the best ship in my holy family is Hussein. Whoever go into this ship, he's saved. Right? So the name Nuh is Rasulullah and Hussein. And all the prophets, all of them by their name was created to teach us about who is Rasulullah. And if I want to know who is Rasulullah more, I need to study about the prophets.
We don't study prophets because they make good movies about them or they have a beautiful stories. We study them because we need to know who is Rasulullah because the prophets are one dimension of Rasulullah. I can give you many examples, Musa, Isa, Ibrahim, all of them, all of them they have example. You can even Youssef, even all of them, all of them. We continue. So, when he ate from this apple, basically he is trying to be in the same place like those two kings, Muhammad and Ali Salam.
So let's say the devil he came in, he gave the fruit to I'll show you where the proof after. He will give you the he gave the fruit to Eve. He said, eat from that. She said, okay, I'll eat it. Okay, and she took small bite. And then we took it back to we give it he give the apple to Adam. He said, you want to eat it? He said, I'm still hesitant. I'm not sure. He said, okay, I'll give you the proof. And then he ate from that himself.
And he ate 20% of that apple. Why? Why 20%? Because now the devil he has a 20% access to our body in the form of whispering, because we can block him. We can block the angel, but he always whisper and the whispering, if you study, for example, you can go through one of your hearing, this is equal to 20% of what your vital signs, they call it English maybe. And then at the very end, let's see. Just a second, are seeing the voice is not working.
Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi And then after that, when he ate 20% of this apple, he gave it to Adam. And then he told him, eat hard from this because when you eat those seed, those seed will come up inside you and you will be better than those two Malekin that this tree came from. I will show you the sign after. So he ate hard from this apple till he ate from the seeds. Who knows how many seeds he ate? Like logically, how many seeds?
Two. Two seeds. I don't want to ask how, you know, but there's two seeds he ate. Why two seeds? Because look now, it's not bad because we're all old. Look at what we call it in Arabic Awrah. Awrah mean the private part of the man. The private part of the man has two seeds inside it. And the private part of the woman does not have any seeds. Why why is that? If you look at the older Adams, they didn't have this private part like us.
have it the same way we had it. Why? Because when when Adam, he did this thing, Allah Azza wa Jal, he want to show us the sin. You know, the Christians that always keep telling you the main sin, the main sin. You ask him what is the main sin? Nobody know what is it. Nobody know what is the main sin. Actually, the main sin exist inside our body and Allah Azza wa Jal covered it, because why? Because he does not want you
to show this bad thing that you are trying to be in a level of Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And we existed inside Adam, because we loved this Adam. We were partners with him. It has many it's a big mechanism. We were inside Adam, we were deciding with him. It's Adam he representing us. Adam, our Adam is representing us, representing the ego we live in. So Allah Azza wa Jal created us with emotions, created us with brain.
Different people before us they either they were very, very smart, because their emotion was very low, and either they were very, very emotional with no brain at all. Some of different Adams. And how did we know that? We know it through the philosophy. We are the only people who made something called philosophy. We are the only people who made something called poetry, because poetry and philosophy is combining science and combining emotions at the same time.
So this is the first part, why I'm mentioning this? It is connecting to knowing Imam Mahdi Salamallahu Alayh. I want you to stop in the reality of things. I don't want you to come here, tell you why, for example, Imam Ali married Sayyida Zahra. Sayyida Zahra, let's say she was good person, Imam Ali was good person. So they said let's make them marry each other and then we'll be happy. I don't want to talk like this. I want you to know the deeper things in life.
Religion is connected very strongly with science. Science is connected very strongly with religion because they continue each other's. So, inside the Quran over here We'll say "wa qasamahuma" What does it mean? Two meanings again. The meaning, first meaning is he kept swearing that it is something good for them to eat the apple, and the same thing from my meaning, I'm giving you a proof for what I said to you. "Qasamahuma" mean he was a partnering with them on eating this apple.
Qasamahuma, you see you can translate that, right? Qasamahuma mean make partnership together, or I can say qasam. You see, this is the beauty of the Arabic language, because he did things at the same time. He kept swearing, I swear to God it says good for you. At the same time, it mean that he was partnering with them. And one word has many meaning and all the meaning are right. See the beauty of Arabic. So this is Khalifa "Khalifatu Allah ala al-ard",
Khalifatu Allah, the successor, this is what they say, the successor, his successor is every one of us. Yani I keep, for example, meeting Christians, Christian people, and say we are the successor. We have a successorship. Allah Azza wa Jal or God gave us this successorship. Many Muslims they keep thinking, oh we have good, in, we presenting Allah Azza wa Jal. In reality we don't present Allah Azza wa Jal. Look, even in our home, we're always angry, we're always swearing, we keep hearing songs, let's say, bad things, we keep doing bad thing gossiping. How can someone like this be "Khalifatu Allah ala al-ard"?
Someone who presenting Allah on earth? No, it doesn't make any sense. I'm just trying to get it closer to you. Since Adam Alaihi Salam, he was a prophet. But over there, he did not have a test. Over there, we were having that test, all of us, we were having that test through Adam Alaihi Salam. We were conscious over there. Not conscious through brain, we had the ultimate consciousness. When someone dies, he's not surprised.
For example, when one of us, let's say, may God bless you all of you. When someone dies, we're not going to be, oh, where am I? I don't know, oh, he's an angel, I'd be scared, no. When I die, I know he's an angel because I know angels how look like. We know, we lived with angels. We lived with all the spirits. We know how the Samawat look like. But we need to remember in Quran, Allah when he keep sending his prophet, he tell the prophet, go make Pharaoh remember.
He doesn't say go make him Muslim, right? Did you ever read this ayah? He sent Moses and he said, make him remember. Remember what? He's not Muslim, what he's going to remember? Remember what we were before coming here. We know all this information. For example, if in other life, after maybe 100 years later, we maybe if we have a gathering, he will look at me and start making fun of me. We know all this information. Why are you capitulating this?
Telling us this on Earth and convince us. We know it, but we did we need to remember it. We need to remember this. Because it it's the truth. So, the representative of Allah is is has to be clean, clear. And one of those signs that always make a remembering like make us feel bad about is we are trying to be better than Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or better than Imam Ali. Which is Imam Mahdi is the continuous rhyme of Imam Ali.
Why? Many people now we when we speak about Imam Mahdi they will say, okay, why are you giving that important? Anyone anyone of you can be Imam Mahdi. The Sunnis, they believe Imam Mahdi he will be he will come like he will be like a regular boy, and then he will grow up in a regular family, and suddenly an angel will came in and will say, oh, you are Mahdi. We'll say, oh, I'm Mahdi, great, thank you. And then he will be he will make
the al al no, it's not like that. Always have someone to present Allah Azza wajall in a matter of he is very clean. He's very clear. So, when Adam Alaihi Salam, he came into Earth, Allah Azza in the Holy Quran said "ولنرى تقلبك في الساجدين". All the all the prophets they used to do sujood. All of them. Why? Because they want to be closer to Allah Azza wajall, to have no Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam inside them.
There is many, many, many, many, many narration, even from the Christian side, they will say the prophets, for example, you look at his face, he's he's glowing noor, noor, noor, noor. When he marry someone, and then his son will will come up, that noor will go, will leave his face and go to his son, son's face. And then this is how they used to track where is the noor of Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And all the prophets, the remain struggle
before him, before his his existence on earth, before his physical existence on earth, were struggling all of them to have the noor with them. And then after he he came he came in Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, what the struggle came in? The struggle came in, who is following Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? So, when someone say he come to you, he say, oh, you Sunni and Shia, you keep fighting over nothing.
Oh, you keep fighting over those religion and religion. It teaches you peace. Yes, it does teach you peace. But what kind of peace? Who is the peace? Is teaching you. Ya, many people make like for example, those atheist now they keep saying, look, religion what is doing to you. Man, this is the main struggle. Before Ahmed, before Muhammad, the our prophet Muhammad, it was the struggle who who get his noor? Who get who will be next to Rasulallah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
When he came in with his family hall, we are fighting over who is who have who have the best knowledge of Rasulallah, who follow the Rasulallah, who have this noor inside him too. It is same thing. So that does the Quran expire? If you say the Quran expire, then you're not a Muslim. None of the if if you bring me one aya inside the Quran and you'll say, there is no more meaning than that, then the Quran is not divine.
This is one of biggest trickiest thing ever that the the western people, the the mainly the atheist, they're trying to convince you about the Quran. It's an old book. It's not an old book. None of the ayat inside the Quran expired, none of it. Even if let's say Allah Azza wajall is speaking about in a last surah or in the Quran he said "تبت يدا أبي لهب وتب". Tab Allah Azza wajall he's speaking about Abu Lahab, the uncle of the prophet.
You will say he died and the and the surah expired. No. Abu Lahab here represented as system, a system, Abu Lahab. And his wife is a system. We live with it now. Anything hurting you is a system made by Abu Lahab. It is I can show you all the these proof from the Holy Quran. So, who is the real successor of Allah Azza wajall in Earth? It's not you, not me, not anyone. Even though biggest ulama, Shia ulama like Sayyid Sadr, not Sayyid Sadr, Rahmatullah Alaih.
Sayyid Sadr he made a big book, beautiful book, he was great philosopher. He was he made it about we are Khalifatullah on Earth. Actually, we are, but not not the complete divine insan, not us. Not us, even though the ayat the ayat inside the Quran we always talking about the Bashar and Insan and Bashar. In the Quran, I want you to notice that when you read Quran, if you read it, I wish you you you learn more Arabic.
Even the Arabic people who speak Arabic and read Arabic, they don't notice the difference. Some ayat is saying insan like human being. And some ayat say bashar. And people think it's the same thing. No, it's not the same thing. The insan is always bad person inside the Quran. You say bismillarahmanirahim. He's, you know Allah is swearing by the asr, the insan is khasir, is in a bad position. Different place, kufara. All the insan ayat, you see the insan in it, it has a bad meaning.
And all the ayat that has bashar, it has a good meaning. Masan Rasulullah was saying, "Qul innama ana bashar mislukum yuha ilayya innama ilahukum ilahun wahid." Allah, when when he's speaking Rasulullah, he's saying I am a bashar and those Ambiya is bashar too. So when he's, when some people say, oh Rasulullah he died, khalas, it's not important anymore. No, he is from the bashar. If you want to really be from the Shiat Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, from the Shiat Imam Ali, you don't, you cannot be from the insan.
You have to be from the bashar side. You know, let me give you an example. One guy came to one of the Imam and he told him, "Oh, please bless me Imam, I am from your Shias." And Imam looked at him, he was angry, he said, "No, you're not from our Shia. You are following us, but you're not our Shia." He said, "What do you mean? I I do I love you? I I do I said no. It's not just by love and those things. You have to be very close to Allah.
You have to have taqwa. You have to have a good nafs inside you. Not just because you were wearing big ring and big like big sword and big tattoo over here, and you always put an ashid while you're driving and it's going to make you good Shia. No, it's not that. No, it's not that at all. He said, "If you want to be good Shia, be like Salman. Salman Al-Farsi, Salman Al-Muhammadi. Be like Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari, be like Ammar bin Yasir.
For example, if what what does it mean to be Ammar bin Yasir? Now we have many fitan, fitna, fitna always, always. Many ideas, many people for example in Facebook they will say they will yeah they will say there's a CDs now on your door. Don't take them, those Quranic CDs. If you take them, there's virus inside them. Don't open anything. All this is is nothing. It's rubbish. It's made to make you always feared, fearing something that doesn't exist.
Why? Because they want you to always be scared from nothing. They want you to not to follow Allah Azza wa Jal, not to always be with where is Imam Mahdi now? Where is he now? Where's what he's doing? He doesn't want you to be just what he's doing, and he's not going to be a place eating pizza, masalan. Yani I don't want you to always limit where exactly what he is doing. In the meaning of what what they what he is doing is he's he's preparing us to do something.
Can you please Maulana prepare me too? Can you prepare me Maulana for example? How do you prepare? You start with yourself as the road of Imam Mahdi to understand who is real Adam. Our Adam is a person who wanted to be like Muhammad and Ali, and which is impossible because Muhammad and Ali are made by Allah Azza wa Jal. And the only way to know Allah is through them. So your road to Allah Azza wa Jal has to be through Muhammad and Ali, not without them, not equal to them.
You cannot believe that you with your ego that you are the best person ever. The more you believe you are best person ever, you are becoming more and more limited. When I was, I remember maybe 14 years old, I started always opening for example this Quran, not Quran, dua saying, "Qala amir al-mu'minin." Reading amir al-mu'minin, everything amir al-mu'minin, amir al-mu'minin, amir al-mu'minin, amir al-mu'minin. I was saying, "Okay, anybody can be like amir al-mu'minin.
You know, those prayers I can do them and so on and so on. I these duas I can do." I started doing the first day doing the dua, salatul layl, all what he used to do amir al-mu'minin, all I started bringing like a book and saying, you know, writing wisdom from myself, like you know, comparing myself to amir al-mu'minin. The first day, second day, I gave up. It's impossible to be something like amir al-mu'minin. A person who said, "I divorced life three times."
And when the teacher, the religion teacher, he told us amir al-mu'minin said, "I divorced life three times." And I looked at the teacher, everyone inside the room said, "I divorced it, too. I divorced it, too." I said, "How can you even say I divorced the life yet?" We were 15. I mean, how a person can say I divorced life? It doesn't make any sense. So when you grow older till this moment, it's hard for me to say, "I divorced life yet."
It's requiring a lot of work. A lot of work through you're going to be tested with everything, you're going to be tested with everything. If you are a momin, everything's going to be against you. Life is not smooth, easy. You're going to just wake up, take your doctor and then go open whatever and then you make money and then it's not going to be like that. If you are through of Amir al-Muminin, Amir al-Muminin said, if you want to be my ab, al-Bala.
You know, wait for the Bala. It's coming for you from everywhere. It's coming from ins, from jinn, from Shayatin, from everything. And the only way to fight them is to have faith of Allah. To have faith and the only faith you can have always say in all your struggle, al-Ghawth al-Ghawth ya Amir al-Muminin, al-Ghawth al-Ghawth ya Mahdi. You know, please be with me Imam Mahdi. I'm with you, be with me. This is the best prescription for all the problems.
If anything happens to you, just say, please be with me, Imam Mahdi, I'm with you. Please take me with you. Keep me with you, open my heart to you. It doesn't I told you, it's not just an easy road to just go in it. No, it's very deep. Now, Imam Mahdi is doing many things on Earth. There's some narration saying that he does not sleep. Allah when he makes him live 1400 years, he can make him not sleep. It's normal, it's the miracle of Allah. Why is he not sleeping? Because there's many things he's working on us.
Individually, one by one. When someone tells you I dreamed about Imam, he told me do that. This one, it will say Imam, I was reading something on Facebook. I kept saying, really, this has happened last week. A person called me and said that I'm very fascinated about this. What do you mean Ali al-Bait did so and so? It doesn't make any sense. And then really I told him just pray, pray two Rakah at night, say, Allah, please guide me.
And really he did that. The second day he said it's impossible. He said what? He said I was flipping Facebook and someone out of nowhere appeared and from their friend and those friends they are not deep in philosophy or any religion. They just put an article and inside this article they have their answers. You know, just by prayer, everything is made by God. Everything guides you to God. God does not come to you personally and he speaks to you, no.
When you say God guide me, he's going to send you this person. You might be walking on the street and someone will tell you so and so. Like one time when I went to Ziyarah last time, I will just say this and I'll conclude. I was walking toward Imam Hussein. This is last month. There was no like walking or something. I was just wandering with my friend. I told him, why do you think those millions come and start walking?
Is it better to take all this money? You know, like they estimated 48 billion dollars food only on those three days for the Maya. 48 billion dollars. Look how much money because there's 20 million people are walking and they're all eating for free. So I said why don't they take this money and they open stuff for orphans and so on. He said I don't really know. I said, you know, I'm not trying to be against anything, but please Imam Hussein, please guide us.
Are we thinking bad about this and so on? So he said, after I left, he called me immediately when I went to Lebanon. This is the second day after. He said, you know what? What happened today? I said, what? He said, I was walking in my world and then there's an Iranian guy, he hit me from the back. I said, yes, yes, what do you want? He said, everyone comes here because we are so poor. They come walking because many people are very poor.
And if those people they don't give us money, no one will come visit Imam Hussein. Everyone of these ones, Allah is not going to open the doors of heaven. And he gave him many reasonings that when we ask the question, Allah sends it through that person. And when he asked Allah, he didn't come and directly speak to us. No, he sent someone that maybe was walking in the street and he felt like talking to that guy for no reason and he told him the reason.
So Allah is always speaking to us. Always remember that. Always remember everything in your life is to guide you towards Imam Mahdi. If you want to be really with Imam Mahdi. So if you want to be with Imam Mahdi, you have to struggle. You always have to clean yourself, cleanse yourself, always do Istighfar, always do Salawat on Muhammad wa Aali Muhammad. Don't think you're the smartest person ever. Always there's someone smarter than you.
Always no matter what, no matter what you study. Same thing like Musa and al-Khidr. Always search for the best of the best. Always not just the surface of religion, no. Religion is everything in life. Not just we're just saying because we're Muslim, no. We have many proofs of that. And Imam Mahdi is representing this. So if you want to go towards Imam Mahdi, you take both religion and science. Inshallah, we will expand more and more on how the perfection of the being of ourselves goes towards Imam Mahdi.
