This lecture discusses the nature of the 313 leaders and companions of Imam al-Mahdi, explaining how individuals prepare themselves or are prepared through spiritual lineage and historical figures. It contrasts the superficial and aggressive ways of spreading religion with the peaceful, knowledge-based approach of the Ahl al-Bayt, drawing parallels to the companions of Imam Hussein. The speaker also touches upon the concept of spiritual preparation, the role of women and various prophets in these lineages, and the contrasting forces of the Dajjal and Sufyani.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله الطيبين الطاهرين. اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد. I always get the question, the simple classic question, but it's not simple anymore because it's coming there. How can we be with Imam al-Mahdi? How can we be with him when he comes? Is it there's a process for that? Is it who's the 313 basically? Last time I was talking about how Imam Mahdi exists in frequency and why exactly he disappeared.
He's still in existence, but why he's not there anymore? Like nobody can see him except if you do if you go into into a certain process. Now, how a person can be in the 313 and are those people are chosen or you'll be able to take yourself to be from them? If we go study this matter, always Allah Azza wa Jall open us people the chance to be there, to be with his people. How? Because he created you. When he created you, he gave you the honor to be here.
So while you are here, you can you're it's your choice. What exactly you're going to be? Are you going to be with a good side or are you going to be with a bad side? So, it is like a classical Disney Channel movie. Basically, there's no complicity. How? There's bad and there's good side. But before before it was simple. For example, you would know if you do at night, there's no TV, there's no electricity, people just if they want to sleep, there's no more sun.
At 6:30, 7:30, they sleep and they woke up early in the morning when the sun come back. So, there's not much like what is going on now. Now, 7:30, 8:30, no more sun. Now, you can turn on the TV and then you can open a new universe on yourself. You can look at many channels, you can look at many ideas, many programs. You can it's always unlimited. I mean, how much information you're going to get? Even if you're not just getting information, you are enjoying.
So, how you define the science of enjoyment? What is it exactly? It is anything that doesn't make you think. For example, while you are watching a movie, the movie is thinking for you. For example, you open the movie, you see this lady, she's getting married to that guy and then they have to make always this triangles, two guys and one lady, they're fighting for her. Or before before 1990, there was two ladies, they're fighting for that guy.
Now, you hardly see that. Always there's two guys fighting for a lady and then she doesn't choose both. She chooses someone else who's a loser. Anyway, so, it is always this triangle. It is to make you excited and so on, so on. Why? Because they are thinking for you, they want to pass on a message. And now your message is passing on to you and you're not filtering that. Now, there's many movies and YouTube specifically talking about Imam Mahdi, the appearance, some of them the arrivals.
Personally, I did not watch him, I cannot give you my opinion, but one time I open one of these movies and then for three minutes, I just got a pen and paper. Every single minute, there's 40 information they pass it to you. For example, he will tell you, Imam Mahdi will come. For example, he will tell you, Adam, he refused so and so and then he did that and then he did that and then there's 40 information given in one minute.
That's a lot of information in one minute. Why? Because now in this particular movie, it doesn't want you to think at all. And if you're thinking, he's pushing his ideas. And there's many right ideas and there's many, many wrong ideas at the same time. And if you connect all the dot together, you'll see that he's taking you in a place that, for example, all the problems here are because the Jews. In reality, for example, if someone he doesn't have a long view, he will say yes, everything because the Jews, yes, that's very true.
And so on, because let's say Jewish are occupying Palestine and there's a lot of political problem and so on and so on. So, you will be imagining that. But look how easy at the very end, for example, at the very end of the movie, he's blaming the Jews for everything, but at the very end he'll say, it is good that you know the truth, but the Jews are very powerful. So, what's happening here? Basically, he's giving you reverse psychology.
He's telling you that it's all the Jewish problem, it's this is I'm saying the opinion of that movie. It's everything happened here because the Jews. It's very bad, but at the very end they're very powerful. You have two choices. to say no and they get you the same way that you're going to be killed or you're going to be disappeared, or what? You have to go with them in this system. You see? So basically he said all the truth, but he get you a wrong solution.
You see? This is this is how if you connect it together. Okay, we are here not promoting for this kind of hatred, because we in the religion, we say, Jewish people, Christian people are part of our religion. And if those some people, they follow Zionism, for example, they this is different than religion. We cannot hate the Jews. Jewish people are good people. They're they're they're very respectful. And we have to believe in their prophets,
Prophet Moses and all the prophets, they came, and we have to believe in the prophets, Jesus and every single one, for you to become a Muslim. You see, this is the difference between us and between other other religions. We believe in all as prophets. Anyway, so we so because everything is connected together, the 313 has to be in that circle. They cannot be outside that circle. What what do I mean by the 313 circle has to be
from guys, from ladies too. Many people they misconcept, they have a misconception saying, only 313, only guys. Why? Because during the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, it it was the first fight defending Islam. By the way, the prophet, he never did any any battle just to go conquer, never. What happened is always people used to come and used to come they start fighting. You see, because either they're going to kill Muslims, or they don't want the Islam, because the business there against any any anything that say there's only one God,
if you study the right history. During all the prophets' time, only 70 people died. Look how many battle they used to come and they used to fight him. Even with that, only there were 70 people who died. Maybe maybe more than 15 battle, and people were trying, even what for three years they put all Muslims in one area, and they just put them in that place, and they didn't let them go outside for eating or for doing business or anything.
So at the very end, they had to organize small army and then defending defending themselves and so on. So after Sallallahu Alaihi, what happened is he said, after me there's Ali ibn Abi Talib and the household of Muhammad. Well, people, 11 people chose that no, it's not Imam Ali. It has to be someone else. And after that, they start doing something called al-Futuuhat. Futuuhat means like going outside to spread Islam by what? By the sword.
And that's why Shia always here we say we condemn that. We never spread the knowledge by the sword. You cannot do, we cannot do that. And that's why we have Sunni and Shia, basically. We don't want to spread this because we know when you are powerful by logic, when you are powerful by knowledge you you have, you doesn't need any sword. You don't need any sword because you are right. This is in what we believe on. We are because always when you're showing the goodness inside you,
you win. It is the matter for example, that's why we have Imam Hussein. He did Karbala, he did whatever, he did. Why? Because he doesn't want to go conquer. He took his family with him. Look how peaceful is that. If someone who says, okay, Imam Hussein went there from they used to place to go conquer, we say no, why? Because he took his kids, there were kids with him. So he was going to establish a message of peace. Because people in Kufa, they were sending him to come.
Please come help us against Yazid because look what he's doing to us. He's killing, he's raping, he's stealing, he is doing whatever Allah forbid. So we want you against that guy. And he came, and because it was peaceful, he came with his family. You know, you see look how you can look at these things. So always they didn't want war. For example, Imam Ali was able to fight those people, but he does not want to do that because he always wanted the people to agree to choose him.
That's why we have the free will. That's why we have to Even Allah he said that's my person who has to be after people chose the other person, look what happened to Islam after. And that's why we are divided. So, anyway, so we continue with that. We have the connections. We see that for example, while Imam Hussein was going there why I'm mentioning Imam Hussein because we're going to learn from the companion of Imam Hussein, from his companion,
we see how the companion of Imam Mahdi will be made. You see why? Because people have even misconception about who's going to be the companion of Imam Mahdi. They think the companion of Imam Mahdi they're going to be mashallah, you know, like Mashaykh, you know, in a way of religion, you know, they're all day long, all night long they're going to be praying all night long. And in the morning they're going to be like lions, you know, going from place to place and nobody take anything from them.
They're going to be so powerful. They're not going to have any problem in life. Everything going to open for them. This is how what we think, why? Because we are just looking at this idealistically. Because we think, for example, a religious person, all what he's doing all his days from night morning to night, praying, praying, praying. In reality, no, this is not who's going to be the companion of Imam Mahdi. Why? Because he does not want people just for this sake.
There's many people Allah around the glow worship. But for example, someone's worshiping 70 years is equal to one person is thinking about the creation. You see, this is what Imam Ali said, or Rasulallah. He said, a person in the eyes of Allah, he's thinking, thinking when he one hour just looking at the heavens, saying, oh my God, how did you create that? How was that created? It will get you closer to Allah faster than someone who has been worshiping Allah for 70 years without thinking.
Why? Because he's a robot. Allah he doesn't care about robots. He wants someone to know what he's doing. Someone who thinks, someone who uses his brain. Why? Because when Imam Mahdi is going to come and he's going to talk to someone, for example, if all what he does is worship, he will say, okay, go do so and so here. He will just go to that place, he will leave everything and he will think, praying now is better than doing so and so.
And there we have great philosophers in Islam that were talking about that. For example, many times people always like they want to come and conquer the lands. What do they say? Let's go pray. It is time to go pray. And then over here we say, always prayer is good. It is always a priority, but let's say your house is burning now. It is burning. And it is time for prayers. What do you do? That person, he will tell you, go pray and then go after that turn the fire off.
You see, you'll be able to turn off the fire while you are praying. That's what Imam Mahdi wants. He wants a person who can do both at the same time. Not just sit down, watch a house burning while you are praying. It is good if you'll be able to do that, if you have insurance after you, and Allah will ensure you that they will give you something. But you cannot, for example, now look at why I'm comparing this to the house, because I want to compare it to something bigger.
You cannot look at your community burning while you're saying, alhamdulillah, my kids are praying, my wife is so good, alhamdulillah, I don't care about anybody else and I close my door. You cannot do that. Imam does not want people who do that. Why? Because he wants you to see while everything is burning around you, you need to go while you are praying inside your house, to go and do your own job. You change yourself, you change your kids and you go change each one outside individually.
Even if you change one, just one person, it will be in the eyes of Allah like you change all humanity. You see, if for example Allah he said, if in the Quran he said, if you save a person's life, it is like you save all the humanity's life. And if you kill one by you intentionally killing this person, it is like you killed every single one in humanity. So you see look how each one of us is equal to the humanity and if was killed, it's equal to the humanity too.
You see, so Imam Mahdi he will look through this vision, he doesn't look to just a person who's worshiping all day long. I have an example from the companion of Imam Hussein, how he was walking, he was going toward Karbala, toward Kufa, and toward Iraq, from what's called Saudi Arabia now to Iraq. And while he was walking there, there were 40,000 following, 40,000 people. While he was in Hajj, he said, I am the son of Rasulallah, people called upon me, you have the right, I have the right to order you to come with me.
Why? Because it is the time now to establish the right, the divine right Allah gave us and not to do it by fighting, not to do it by so and so, but we need to start gathering ourselves. What happened is everyone agreed. He said, yes, we heard this from Rasulallah and we have to obey you. Because there's many ayahs in the Quran mentioning that if the Imam ordered you to do so and so, you need to do it, whatever he ordered you to.
So 40,000 people followed that. The first day he was like, oh people, if you have stuff, you have business outside, you have kids to take care of or you have wives or whatever, just go. I don't want you to be with me and fight with me while you are thinking about so and so because if you're not serious about what you're doing, we're going to fail. Even if we are 40,000. Because in the Quran Allah said, one believer is equal to 100 non-believers.
In strength, in a way, in an analogical way, in every single way, Allah, look, one person is equal to 100. Or some of them even equal to 1,000 and some equal to 10. It depends how much he is in belief. Because while you are fighting, everything is fighting with you. We were talking before with the science of energy. Because the believer, he controls everything around because he's so sure that he's going to be the winner.
He is so sure he's going to be, so everything will be fighting with you. That's the difference between the believer and the non-believer. All what he's fighting for, he's fighting for money. He said, you know, Zaid, he sent me because he's giving me 100 dirhams and if I kill someone, he's going to give me 200. But what if this person is so powerful, he's going to kill me? I don't care if I die. I mean, I don't care to die for 200 dirhams, so I'll stay away.
That's the difference. A believer, he fights because he knows if he dies, he's going to go to heaven. That person, he knows that if he gets killed, he's going to go to hell. You see, this is the difference. So a person, he will know what he's dying for. So he said that, and then there are 20,000 people who left. They left away. Only 20,000 continued. So he continued and he stood up in one place and he started giving his speech.
He said the same thing, you know, I'm not going to blame you. You are free to go if you want to go. I want people who only believe in this cause. And then left only 1,000 for them. Only 1,000 from 40,000 in a couple of three days. While he was going, walking, people start to go away, go away, fade, fade, fade and go and leave away. So at the very end, only a few people left, maybe like 65 or 67, only 65 from 40,000. And that's the real life now.
If you many people they will say we are with you, we are believers, we're going to support you. And then while you're walking, people will start just faint, go away. And to the point that he went to he was going his way, he saw someone his name Zuheir ibn Qain. He was going in a business trip. And in this business trip, he he he had his wife and they were he does he wasn't planning to go fight and he did doesn't know what's going on.
But while he was going there, Imam Hussein like he sent someone because they know Imams, they know about what's going on around them. They have this kind of science, you know, they know if people are passing by. So he sent someone to call him. So he called him, he went inside the tent and he talked to him for half hour. And suddenly, Zuheir ibn Qain, that guy, he changed his everything and he want to go with Imam Hussein.
For half hour only he settled. And he was at the very end the battle, if you know the story, you will see how much he was strong, how much he believed in this cause, even though he just set for half hour. He doesn't need more. Because those are the truthful people. But did he know that he was from the companion of Imam Hussein? No. After what, you know, after before half hour only of so this great companion that we know his name now, we always talk about how much he was what he had this battle.
He he went with the right cause because of his belief only half hour. You see? So a person, for example, is going to be with Imam Mahdi, he is going to be preparing himself, that person. You see? That person from 313 because he's been preparing himself, he been under a lot of stress. And if the right cause come, it will take him. Imam Mahdi will know that that person is going to be with him. So he will be preparing that person.
So that person, what we call it, will be the Zakhira, the present of Imam Mahdi from the his own person. That's the first type of Ashab Imam Mahdi. The companion of Imam Mahdi they're going to be the first type of them are the people who prepared themselves by themselves. Okay? Because we have different people and we know that from the story of Imam Hussein. Okay? So the we established that the first people from 313 are going to be the people who prepared themselves.
The second type of people are the people who are present from other people. How? You see, if we we are unlocking some secrets now. While Imam Mahdi was walking to there was someone, his name Wahab. Wahab was Christian and he was newly what? Like he was maybe 20 Imam Hussein, yeah. I said Imam Mahdi, I'm sorry. So Wahab was a new what? And he was walking going from place up to a place and he he passed by Imam Hussein.
And Imam Hussein called him to come to his wife, to his to his tent and he came with his wife and mother and he was Christian. And for half hour only, he left everything and went with Imam Hussein. Why? Because there was a secret behind that. What is it? That Jesus himself raised Wahab by teaching him how to be with the right cause. And if you know what what what I mean by that? I mean that people will be taught by different prophets just for the cause of Imam Hussein.
They got it's going to be like a present. How? Before, it's I'm going to say this short story. Before, if you if you study the land of Karbala, what happened in it? Many are almost prophet passed by that area. Every time they passed by that by that area, something will happen that will make them bleed over there. For example, they fell, they them it will make them bleed. And they would ask Allah, why why I fell here?
Is it because a sin I did it? Allah will say, well no, there's no sin. But over in that area, the son of the last prophet and the master of prophets will be killed. And they will say, can we do something to change it? Can we fight with him? Can we go? They say, Allah will say, no, it's not it's not the time that you should be there. It is your your best time to be here, no. So, what they will do? They will ask Allah to send people from them as a present to to Imam Hussein.
Those big prophets, they send presents over time. They ask Allah to give them beautiful spirits, that they believe in in the right Christianity, because the right Christianity says, of Jesus is a prophet of God, not son of God. So, Jesus raised that guy, Wahab, and he raised him in a right way. And while he was passing by there, Imam Hussein told him that you so and so, and you have, you have signs from Jesus that he said yes, because he used to always dream about Jesus, and teaching him the right religion, the the real religion.
So, what happened is, what have joined him. So, we have the second type of what? Of the who was going to be from the army of Imam Mahdi? The people some the second people are going to be from different religion, because but the prophets themselves taught those people. You see, and you're going to find Christian people with Imam Mahdi, but the right Christianity. You see, so we we have something new here, we never looked at it before.
We think the 313 they're going to be only Muslims who always worship, but in reality, no. We're going to have find many people are from different walk of life in life. And then we see now that Jesus he involving in sending a present to Imam Mahdi, Imam Hussein over time, and he's going to be involved in sending people over time to Imam Mahdi. And not just that, he's going to be one of them too. Because he's going to return, we believe in his return.
He should return with Imam Mahdi because we believe in peace. We don't want to make war with 2 billion persons that inhabiting the earth now, the Christians. Now, the third type is the ladies. Ladies are are the third type. What is it? Sayyida Zahra, she's going to be teaching we have a narration that say that saying Imam Mahdi from the 313 leaders going to be 70 women with him, 70 women. Look how much that's a that's a large number, big number.
Those those those ones are going to be the leaders. Not just regular people. Those people they're going to be responsible for everything is going on around the globe. The 313, they're not going to be normal people, you know, they're not going to be just sitting, playing and people take pictures with them, or take signatures, or make them like celebrities. No, they're going to be they're busy with many things. So, we have we're having this too from the ladies.
Now, if we want to look over time, we see those people, those names, even we always mentioning them, but we in reality, in reality we don't really know who whose presence are. For example, Ibrahim, Ibrahim he sent a message for Imam Mahdi over time. And this present is going to be to who, to Imam Mahdi, and he's going to be one of the leaders of 313. Who can guess who will be that person? We always have the narration and we always mention his name, but we don't really know who is Ibrahim teaching?
Teaching Yamani. Why Yamani? Because Yamani is he live in Yemen. And Yemen is away from all the the Shia. Why? Because if you study his kid, right? He left his wife and his kid alone in that place. While yeah right? No, he left them in next to the Kaaba. Yeah. Yeah, Ibrahim. So, he left them, but he's still he was taking he was able to take care of them through Allah, right? Same thing, because he had the same story, Allah gave him the Yamani to be with Imam Mahdi, and he's going to be the leader of the leaders.
Yemeni, and he's going to be taught by who, by Nabi Ibrahim. It is the same story like his wife and kid. He left him alone, Nabi Ibrahim left Yemeni alone in Yemen, and the Yemeni is going to change all Yemeni to Shia. You see? While his son changed every single one there to Muslim. You see? It is almost same stories, but it's different different age. For example, We someone called from the big leaders Shuaib bin Saleh.
We always hear keep kept hearing about him. For the four three, four years before, they made many books. They said Shuaib bin Saleh is going to be the Iranian president Ahmadinejad. They kept saying Ahmadinejad, he is Shuaib bin Saleh. And many people kept saying, yes, yes, he looked exactly the same thing. But in reality, he is not the Egyptian president, he is someone else. We cannot mention his name. But his name is Shuaib bin Saleh.
And he is the he was given a present from who? From Imam al-Hassan. Why? Because Imam al-Hassan, he is the person, he is the very reason why may he made Iran and Pakistan and India and different place in Lebanon and different place in Turkey, Shia. And why why Imam Hassan chose that person? Because he is from Iran and he is the one, he is the person that worse responsible for making the spaces Shia. You see, it is all connected.
So, Imam Hassan is go as he send his son to Imam Hussein as a present, his son, his own son, al-Qasim. He sent it as a present. He died for his sake, for his goal. Imam Hassan is still sending a present for Imam al-Mahdi over time, too. And he's going to be as valuable as al-Qasim to to Imam al-Mahdi. So, he's going to be the leader of the army, the army fighting army. He's going to be al-Shuaib bin Saleh. Yemeni is going to be the the political leader.
That he living in in in Yemen. And now, the the present of Imam Hussein, everybody know who is the present of Imam Hussein is he live in Lebanon, he is responsible for the biggest resistant play uh now army, and we I don't have to mention his name. But because if you look at him, he looked very close to Imam Hussein's look. Even though if you bring pictures, the the right picture, you will see he looked very close to Imam Hussein.
And he was right by raised by Imam Hussein. Now, that guy he when he went to Karbala, he he was uh people saw he was a leader. And he was a leader of revolution, not a normal revolution, revolution very close to Imam's Hussein. Imam's Hussein revolution. Why how in Lebanon there's only 2,000 people or 3,000 people they were fighting the most mightiest power existing in the Middle East? And was supported directly by the American government, by European, by was given a limited weapon.
He was able to and those only 3,000 people was able to defeat all these forces. So, it is very close to what Imam Hussein. Imam Hussein was with 70 people against 45,000 or some narrations say 65,000 people, only 70 people changed this changed this. But Allah He had the plan that this Imam Hussein is going to be the image so everyone should be a martyr. Why? Because you want to win always and always and always. So, that person in Lebanon, he that was the reason to show us that the counting numbers of men is nothing if you have a belief.
If you have 100 men, you will be able to fight 100,000 men and you will win because you believe in that. You see, and he is the He is the present of Imam Hussein to to Imam al-Mahdi. You see? It is all connecting. Because whatever you plant, whatever you plant, later, you're going to see it. If you plant flowers, you're going to see flowers. If you plant different thing, you're going to see different thing. You're not going to plant flower and you wake up in the morning, you see watermelon, right?
You have to plant something and you see this thing. If you plant bad now, you're going to see bad in the future. If you plant evil, you're going to see evil. If you want to plant goodness, you're going to see goodness in the future. So, those people are planting for the future. And that's what we should be doing now. You might think it's unvaluable about peace, about love, about so on and so, but maybe someone after 200 years, 300 years later, he will find it.
He will find this book, someone throw it outside and he will take it and he will start reading, he will say, oh my God, that's very inspired, inspirational. I want to go and print it. And look how much how many people you will start changing the life of those people, even if one book, it happened many times before. Why? Because that person was living in pain and he wrote everything in pain and in love and and it was so inspirational, but after he died, and nobody valued what he worked on till 100 year later or 1,000 year later, you will see, oh my God, that was changing my life.
You see? So, this is what happened what it's happening with those people. And if you see, for example, who is the present of David and Solomon? Salman. Who is the present to Imam Mahdi is Jesus himself. Jesus himself, you know, is the present from Salman and David to Imam Mahdi because they know what what kind of power he hold. Jesus, he has a lot of power. Do not underestimate him. He's going to be chaining a lot of stuff,
and we believe in that. And we should be helping with that, too. So, he's going to be with Imam Mahdi. And he's the president of two great prophets, so David and Sulayman, to Imam Mahdi. At the same time, if we look even more, you will see more people. But those ones what was mentioning, they're going to be great leaders only. And inside the 313, they're going to be groups. They're not all going to be leaders. They're going to be leaders, and above them, every six or seven people, they're going to be one leader on top of these ones.
You see, he's going to be responsible, and Imam Mahdi will be responsible for all those people. And under that one this one, will be a lot of people who will be helping with with many things. And then all this will be connected together for learning from whom? From Imam Hussein. We will learn it from the message of Imam Hussein, learning from the companion of Imam Hussein. Who is the companions going to be for for Imam Mahdi?
And in the other side, we see that the devil is planning his leaders, too. The devil, the leader of the main leader of the devil, he will be taught by him, he will be made by him is the the fake Messiah that he's going to come. The fake Messiah, do not even underestimate how much power he has. But all his power, they're going to be normal science power. Very normal. For example, he will say he will say, you will see a person that person,
and then he will come and he will say, I will raise him back. And you will see it immediately that after he passed his hand, he raised him back. You'll see him walking. Well, what's happening here is the person the real spirit it he died. What's happening is a different devil came inside his, taking his body, but he's going to be walking like zombie. You know, he's he cannot be like normal human being like when Jesus healed a person or when the prophets healed a person and then he come back from life, he will be normal.
But with the fake Messiah, he's going to be like this, like zombie stuff. You see? And with uh with al-Umayya, Umayyah the people who killed Imam Hussein, even they're raising this guy and we call them a Sufyani. That's why he was called a Sufyani. Why?
