Sheikh Salim Yusufali: Ashra-e-Zainabiyya 1435 Topic: Practical advice from Ahlul Bayt (A.S) for Muslims living in the West [English] 01 - Shahadat Eve Bibi Sakina (A.S) - 30th Eve After Ashura - 13 December 2013 Lecture 1 Summary: Sheikh Salim Yusufali The Topic for these nights are “Practical Advice from the AHLUL BAYT (AB) for Muslims living in the west” • Todays lecture is a teaser so to speak, to give listeners an insight as to what is to come in the forthcoming nights. • We need to step back and look at their purpose and role of the AB at a theoretical level The question one often asks “Is Islam universal and relevant in our time?” • According to the well known verse in surah Maidah. “Today I have Perfected for you your religion” meaning the religion is perfect and applicable to today and all times ie perfect at all times • The 5th Imam (as) states- Allah (SWT) the Exalted has not left aside a single thing that is needed but that it was revealed in the Quran and the sunnah • This gives us confidence knowing that we have all the tools of guidance with us • The reason the Holy Quran is timeless and relevant is because it has principles and guidelines which are universal and can be applied in different times. • The Quran needs explanation and clarification which can either be done by the Quran itself or by the holy progeny • The Quran is timeless, its need for clarification is timeless, and this done by HP and AB and hence our need for them is timeless We sometimes wonder what do the AB know about the modern day? But if we analyse how different is our situation and our lives different from theirs? • If we analyse what we are made up, we are not just a sum total of technology, or advancements in science etc but we are a sum total of a body and a soul which hasn’t changed over time • Also the Fitrah, that innate nature which Allah creates within all human being, is a hard wiring which doesn’t change over time. This is clearly explained in Surah Rum… It guides us towards Allah and our movement towards Him. So how different are we 1400 years later in terms of searching for our goal? • Some examples on how the words and teachings of the AB are relevant more than ever today when it comes to marriage, childraising, and death The AB are looking for more from us however, than just to consider them relevant. • Look at the Hadith of Unwan al Basri, a student of Anas bin Malik , who came to the 6th imam and wanted to become his student. Imam (as) says to him I am busy. Imam was not being stingy but was teaching us that we have to realize that station of Imam first and his rank before we can take from him • The AB have stated, Travel east and west and you will not find anything that is correct except from us. AB have given us guidelines on how to live our lives in all arenas. And that is their role, they are our guides • Inspirational anecdote that took place recently that demonstrates that AB are seeking those who will take their guidance It is important to note that when we are looking at the advice of AB it doesn’t mean that this is not covered in HQ. For example look at the example of Asiyah the wife of pharaoh (a women brought in a non muslim/tyrannical society) She is an example that is immortalized the Quran and her entirety of her personality and vision is encapsulated in one dua. O ALLAH GIVE ME A HOUSE IN YOUR PROXIMITY IN PARADISE. She wanted proximity to Allah. She was a queen and had all the material wealth of the world but she wanted something better. She then prays for deliverance from pharaoh a sign of her unwavering stand for truth and justice.

Sheikh Salim Yusufali: Ashra-e-Zainabiyya 1435 Topic: Practical advice from Ahlul Bayt (A.S) for Muslims living in the West [English] 02 - 31st Eve After Ashura - 14 December 2013 Lecture 2 Summary: Sheikh Salim Yusufali The topic we are covering is practical advise for Muslims in a minority from the Ahlul Bayt (as) from teachings which are relevant to our situation, living with non-Muslims. • We should try and benefit from lecturers/ scholars; the minbar is one way of communication. We should also benefit in a less formal environment and try to make the most of these opportunities. Sometimes what we hear is repetition but we shouldn’t perceive that as a negative, it can be treated as a reminder and that can encourage us to practical application. • We should also partake emotionally in these majalis the best way possible. They are a source of Barakah (blessings) and we are strongly advised by scholars to try and mourn on the Masaib (gham) of Imam Hussain (as) and his family in whatever capacity. • There is a hadith of Imam Ali which is found also Nahjul Balagha and other sources which is advice to Malik Ahtar (a close companion) on the governance. He guides Malik to feel love in his heart for the people and not to act barbarically. He further says that people are of two types: either your brethren in faith and or peer in humanity/creation • This hadith clear shows that there is a level of respect one earns just by being a human being. There is a principle of Ahsan (kindness) and A’dl (Justice) for all humans. 6th Imam witnessed a man insulting a person of another religion and rebukes him as that religion is worthy to him • Holy Quran mentions about those that come from of different religions that if they are not an enemy than you should treat in kindness and justice and Allah loves those who are just • Justice is part of innate and core beliefs especially as Shias and this should be looked at material and spiritual level. The common idea is that if I am not causing injustice physically to others then that is enough, but there is a higher level of injustice as well and that this doing injustice to oneself • We perform injustice to ourselves when we follow our base desires without regards to the Shariah and there is always a battle going on between the Aql and the base desires. Committing sin doing is injustice to own self. • There is a difference between a brother in faith and a peer in humanity but we should have friendly relations to all • Holy Prophet (sa) in Medina lives with different tribes and different religions and was able to have a working relationship with all of them but still is able to preserve the Muslim identity • We also need to take care of people with whom we have close relationship. One of the main criteria of choosing close associates is that they are not performing injustice (both material and spiritual) and also not supporting it • Holy prophet (sa) said famously that whoever wakes up in the morning and is not concerned over the affairs of Muslims is NOT A MUSLIM. Hence we should have a special affinity to a Muslim and we should care for them irrespective of their geographical location • Sometimes the injustice we perform is in the choice of careers. If we are choosing a career that is not helping the cause of justice, at least we shouldn’t choose something that is going to increase injustice. Also, don’t compromise your religion for wealth and go against your principles. For e.g. avoid being involved in the system of interest and advertising of haram material or alcohol.
