Is Imam Ali a source of division or the grounds for friendship among Muslims?How did a man who asked that his killer's ropes be loosened in his dying moments become the most contested figure in Islamic history?In this episode of Thinking Islam, we explore Dr Hassan Abbas's acclaimed book, "The Prophet's Heir" through the lens of a policy maker and conflict resolution scholar. Drawing from both Shi'a and Sunni sources, Dr Abbas tells the story of Imam Ali not as a sectarian narrative but as a bridge between traditions. We examine the political dynamics of Saqifa, Ali's radical economic justice, the bias in Western scholarship of Islam, and the paradox of a warrior whose defining qualities were dialogue, selflessness, and forgiveness. In his final moments, struck by a poisoned sword, Ali asked that his killer be treated well, a measure of the justice and forgiveness that Dr Abbas argues makes Ali's legacy not a source of division but a possibility for renewal and unity.Dr Hassan Abbas is Distinguished Professor of International Relations at the National Defence University in Washington, D.C. and a senior adviser at Harvard University's Weatherhead Centre for International Affairs. His research focuses on countering political and religious extremism, rule-of-law reforms, and the intersections of security, politics, and faith in South Asia and the Middle East. "The Prophet's Heir: The Life of Ali ibn Abi Talib," published by Yale University Press, has been widely praised across traditions.Audio Chapters: 0:00 – Highlights 01:32 – Writing a Book on Imam Ali 8:04 – Using Both Shi'a and Sunni Sources 17:23 – The Bias in Western Scholarship 25:35 – An Uncritical Version of Imam Ali? 32:00 – Saqifa Through the Lens of a Policy Maker 43:47 – Did the Companions Fail the Test? 51:28 – Imam Ali as a Diplomat 56:45 – Imam Ali & Economic Justice 1:07:15 – Imam Ali, Dialogue & Egalitarianism 1:16:02 – Imam Ali's Legacy 1:21:05 – Thinking Islam Question

● Social media has transformed how quickly and widely information spreads, placing news directly in people's hands.● It can be a tool for either good or evil depending on how it's used.● Extremist groups like ISIS used social media to recruit youth globally, even from countries like the UK and Canada.● In Sydney, a father and son attacked the Jewish community during Hanukkah, killing 15 and injuring 40.● A Syrian Muslim man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, heroically stopped one of the attackers, saving lives despite being shot twice.● The Qur'an teaches that killing an innocent person is like killing all humanity, while saving one life is like saving all humanity—these verses apply respectively to the attackers and to Ahmed al-Ahmed.● Social media can negatively affect spiritual life, especially when young people are misled by half-truths.● Misguiders often mix truth with falsehood to make their propaganda more convincing.● Imam ‘Ali (a) said doubts resemble truth, which is why they are dangerous.● Historical example: Mu‘awiyah used propaganda to shift blame for the death of ‘Ammar away from himself, claiming ‘Ali was responsible.● Imam ‘Ali countered by pointing out the absurdity of the argument, saying that by the same logic, the Prophet would be to blame for Hamzah's death at Uhud.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Friday Juma KhutbaDecember 5th, 2025- Canada's Liberal government may remove the “religious exemption” from hate speech laws in Section 319(3)(b) of the Criminal Code.- Bill C-9 aims to amend the Criminal Code regarding hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious/cultural places.- The current exemption protects good-faith expressions or arguments based on religious beliefs or texts from prosecution.- NCCM warns this change could criminalize sermons or discussions from the Qur'an, Bible, Torah, Bhagavad Gita, or Guru Granth Sahib.- Canada has historically protected good-faith theological discourse; removing this risks censorship of faith and scholarship.- Without the exemption, reciting religious texts, teaching, or quoting scriptures could lead to investigation or criminal charges.- Muslims support hate speech laws against incitement to violence but oppose removing the good-faith religious exemption.- Advocates are encouraged to join NCCM's letter-writing campaign to defend religious freedom and promote justice.- Religious freedom defenders are united: Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Canadian Bar Association, CMPAC, United Church of Canada, and ~50 other organizations.- United public opposition may prevent the removal of the exemption.- Example of interfaith unity: Pope Leo's trip to Turkey and Lebanon focused on peace and dialogue with Muslims and Christians.- Shi‘a representation in Lebanon: Shaykh ‘Ali al-Khaṭib welcomed the Pope on behalf of the Supreme Islamic Shi‘a Council.- Shaykh ‘Ali emphasized Islamic principles of human fraternity and equality from the Prophet Muḥammad and Imam ‘Ali.- He highlighted that true religion promotes peace, honour, and dignity, and conflicts in religion misrepresent faith.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S43) The force had gone weeks without being catered for. Now they had Basra, they recharged there. Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه was beaten by a group of misinformed people. When Aisha رضي الله عنها heard of this, she immediately said what have you done? And Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was to be released. The Rawafid claim that it was Companions رضي الله عنهم who beat up Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه - this is completely baseless and a fabricated report! Aisha (a.s) uses her brilliance and writes letters to the major cities to elucidate what happened at Basra. She رضي الله عنها wrote to Shaam, Kufa, Yamamah and Madinah. She رضي الله عنها mentioned that the Khawarij wanted to hold her hostage! Imam Ali رضي الله عنه changes the capital from Madinah to Kufa. Why?: 1) He رضي الله عنه wanted no disrespect to be shown in Madinah, the blessed city. 2) He رضي الله عنه had a large following in Kufa. 3) There was funds in Iraq which could be used to supply war if needed. Ali رضي الله عنه gives his final Salaam to the Messenger ﷺ and leaves Madinah, never to return. How difficult this must have been, his entire life he رضي الله عنه spent with the Messenger ﷺ and now he has to leave…

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S38) Ali's رضي الله عنه election to the high post: Madinah was leaderless. Chaos was spread. The time came for Imam Ali رضي الله عنه to become the Khalif. al-Ghaafiqee Ibn Harb, one of the rebel leaders, led Madinah for 5 days upon the martyrdom of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The rebels searched for a new leader, so they could get the blame off themselves for the crimes they had committed. The Companions رضي الله عنهم approach Ali رضي الله عنه and say you are the most worthy of Khilafat amongst us. Ali رضي الله عنه called for the allegiance to be done in the blessed Masjid. Ali رضي الله عنه later would say the only reason he became Khalif was out of fear that Islam would diminish.

Friday Juma KhutbaOctober 24th, 2025- After discussing gratitude to Allah, the topic moves to repentance and seeking forgiveness.- The Qur'an mentions repentance about 80 times and forgiveness about 20 times.- Repentance and forgiveness are the first steps in spiritual cleansing, just as water cleanses the body.- Allah loves those who repent and those who purify themselves.- Without repentance, humans would be doomed; it is the door of hope that leads to forgiveness.- Allah told Adam that evil intentions are not recorded unless acted upon, while good intentions are rewarded even if not carried out.- A single good deed is multiplied tenfold, and sins are forgiven if followed by seeking forgiveness.- The door of repentance remains open until the final moments of life.- The Qur'an (39:53) reminds believers not to despair of Allah's mercy, as He forgives all sins.- The phrase “astaghfirullāh” is powerful and brings blessings.- Imam ‘Ali advised people to seek forgiveness for problems such as poverty, infertility, and lack of rain.- He recited verses from Prophet Nūḥ stating that seeking forgiveness brings rain, wealth, children, gardens, and rivers.- It is recommended to recite “astaghfirullāh” one hundred times daily.- The first act of repentance came from Adam and Ḥawwa after being deceived by Shayṭān, which was not a sin but leaving the better option.- Adam felt remorse and wanted forgiveness, and Allah taught him the words of repentance and forgave him.- According to narrations, Adam was taught to say, “By the right of Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn, forgive me,” and Allah accepted his repentance.- Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā'ī explains that these names represent divine lights and intermediaries through whom Allah's grace reaches creation.- Adam saw the lights of the Prophet and his Ahl al-Bayt when he was taught the names, and the angels recognized their greatness and submitted to Allah's wisdom.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Friday Juma KhutbaOctober 10th, 2025- Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October.- Gratitude is part of human nature and is emphasized repeatedly in the Qur'an.- Allah commands humans to remember and thank Him for all blessings and sustenance.- Gratitude must be expressed for both material and spiritual blessings, as all provisions ultimately trace back to Allah.- Prophet Sulaymān's prayer shows the importance of asking Allah for the ability to be thankful.- We are commanded to thank not only Allah but also those who serve as means for His blessings, such as parents and others who help us.- The Imams teach that one who fails to thank people has not truly thanked Allah.- Every blessing involves a chain of contributors—from human labor to natural forces—ending with Allah as the true source.- Humanity benefits from Allah's subjugation of nature (taskhīr): water, wind, sun, technology, and space travel are signs for those who reflect and use reason.- Spiritual blessings, such as guidance through the wilāyah of Imam ‘Ali (a), are among the greatest favors to be thankful for.- Communal opportunities like Friday prayers also warrant gratitude—to builders, managers, and volunteers—rather than harshness when mistakes occur.- Thankfulness benefits the individual, not Allah, as gratitude brings personal growth and divine increase in blessings.- Allah promises: if you are thankful, He will increase His blessings; if you are ungrateful, punishment is severe.- Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (a) explains that one who is granted thankfulness is also granted increase, fulfilling Allah's promise.- Imam ‘Ali (a) teaches that Allah never opens the door of gratitude without also opening the door of increase, just as He never opens repentance without forgiveness or reliance without provision.- True shukr (gratitude) has three dimensions: (a) Tongue — saying “al-ḥamdulillāh.” (b) Heart — recognizing the blessing as from Allah. (c) Limbs — using the blessing in obedience to Allah.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Forrige weekend blev en U12-fodboldkamp mellem den jødiske sportsklub Hakoah og Brønshøj Boldklub aflyst. Først blev Hakoah oplyst, at forældrene fra Brønshøj ikke ønskede, at deres børn skulle spille mod Hakoah på grund af den verserende konflikt i Gaza. Senere fik Hakoah at vide, at det handlede om, at de frygtede demonstrationer og hærværk, hvis kampen blev spillet.Men hvorfor skal en gruppe jødiske drenge i Danmark blandes ind i konflikten i Gaza? Det debatterer dagens to gæster, der langt fra er enige. Vært: Joachim B. Olsen, debatredaktør på B.T.

De Konservative vil have lukket Imam Ali Moskeen i København, efter det er kommet frem, at moskeen har forbindelser til det iranske præstestyre. Partiet prøvede også at få lukket moskeen for fem år siden, men det blev dengang afvist, fordi det ifølge Socialdemokratiet er i strid med grundloven. De Konservatives udlændinge og integrationsordfører, Frederik Bloch Münster, anerkender, at det ikke er nemt at lukke en moske, og derfor er partiet i gang med at undersøge, hvad lovgivningen egentlig tillader. Og hvis det viser sig, at der mangler lovgivning på området, er De Konservative klar til at "tilvejebringe" den lovgivning, der skal til for at lukke moskeen.

Friday Juma KhutbaSeptember 26th, 2025- Next Tuesday is the National Day of Truth & Reconciliation, remembering the atrocities and generational impact of residential schools in Canada.- The government was slow to acknowledge the injustices: land theft, broken treaties, forced removal of children, suppression of Indigenous languages and culture, and church-run residential schools.- The government and Catholic Church later apologized, but many treaty obligations remain unfulfilled, such as the Ontario case where $4 per person was promised with annual increases but never implemented; the Supreme Court in July 2024 called it a mockery, and First Nations are demanding $160 billion.- Some Ontario cities, like Vaughan, have adopted Indigenous land acknowledgements, but symbolic gestures are not enough without honoring treaty commitments.- Indigenous peoples are not asking for their lands back but for fair value and payments according to signed treaties; the issue is justice, not ownership.- This means living on these lands is not impermissible for others, as the matter is between the government and Indigenous peoples regarding fair compensation.- Shifting to the Middle East: 156 countries have recognized Palestine, with strong applause at the UN when France announced recognition.- Despite global recognition, the US continues to delay action.- Recognition alone is symbolic and must be followed by meaningful steps.- Former Canadian foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy emphasized that statements and rhetoric must be backed by action.- Past injustices cannot be excused by new realities such as illegal West Bank settlements.- Imam ‘Ali (a) stated: “Verily the old right is not nullified by anything,” highlighting that longstanding rights and injustices must still be addressed, relevant to the Palestinian cause.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S50) Muazh رضي الله عنه, now in Shaam (Palestine/Jordan) was teaching the masses. He رضي الله عنه would sometimes perform 5 Takbeers in the Janazah Salah, the usual being 4. This was to honour the deceased, depending on who it was. Imam Ali رضي الله عنه performed 6 Takbeers for his paired brother, Sahl Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه and said it was due to him being a Badri. Ali رضي الله عنه would do 5 Takbeers for the Companions (رضي الله عنهم) and 4 for the Muslims. The Messenger ﷺ himself did 9 Takbeers for his beloved uncle, Hamza رضي الله عنه - The Lion of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى). Umar رضي الله عنه loved the advice and words of Abu Ubaydah and Muazh رضي الله عنهم. Umar رضي الله عنه told them (رضي الله عنهم) to never stop writing to him. The one who consults never regrets. Only a buffoon would not consult with the people…

al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S60) Hujr Ibn Adee رضي الله عنه was a supporter of Imam Ali رضي الله عنه. When Hasan رضي الله عنه gave Baiyah to Muawiya رضي الله عنه, Hujr رضي الله عنه was the first to say to him: “O son of The Messenger! ﷺ. It would've been better if I died before this day! Why did you do this?”. Hasan رضي الله عنه replied: “To prevent bloodshed”. How did the supporters of Hasan رضي الله عنه react to his decision? There was 3 groups; 1). Acceptance and Happiness straight away. This includes Abdullah Ibn Jafar رضي الله عنهم 2). Initially weren't happy, but later accepted. This includes Qais Ibn Sa'ad رضي الله عنهم. 3). Weren't happy, yet accepted reluctantly. This has 2 subsections - a). This binding is only until Hasan رضي الله عنه is alive. This included Hujr Ibn Adee رضي الله عنه. and b). This binding is only until Hasan and Muawiya رضي الله عنهم are alive. This included Hussain رضي الله عنه. An aged Mugheera رضي الله عنه knew his time was near. Mugheera رضي الله عنه said that they will not see a governor like himself after his leaving - and true were his words. The Salaf (r.h) said: “After Mugheera رضي الله عنه, we never had a leader like him”. The governor after Mugheera رضي الله عنه was Ziyad Ibn Abee. He governed both Kufa and Busra.

al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S61) Muawiya رضي الله عنه appointed Ziyad Ibn Abee as next governor of Kufa. He also governed Busra - spending 6 months in each city. With Hasan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom, Hujr رضي الله عنه thought his binding was over, thus began speaking up. He رضي الله عنه was a supporter of Imam Ali (a.s). Mugheera's رضي الله عنه words were true. Ziyad did not show the same treatment to Hujr رضي الله عنه as Mugheera رضي الله عنه did. Amongst other things, when Ziyad found out Hujr رضي الله عنه had a gathering in his house in which were supporters of Ali رضي الله عنه, and that Hujr رضي الله عنه threw pebbles at Ziyad, tensions rose. Ziyad sent police to arrest Hujr رضي الله عنه and solve matters. After some resistance, Hujr رضي الله عنه and 13 of his close allies were arrested and sent to Ameer ul-Mumineen Muawiya رضي الله عنه. Ziyad sent a letter that there is witnesses that testify to these men criticising the Khalif.

As the month of Ramadhan enters its final nights, we turn to Allah (SWT) with hope for forgiveness, mercy, and guidance. We do this by connecting the remembrance of Imam Ali's (AS) shahadat with Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power). One of the recommended acts on these nights is to recite and reflect on the Holy Quran, especially Surah al-Qadr. This week, Sheikh Ayub Rashid takes us on a spiritual and literary journey, exploring this profound chapter of the Quran, verse by verse. To truly benefit from these sacred nights, this podcast is a must-hear!

In his last days, knowing death was imminent, Prophet Muhammad called his uncle Abbas and Imam Ali. He asked his uncle to carry out his will and settle his affairs after the prophet's death. When the uncle demured, the prophet asked Imam Ali, who accepted. The Prophet also gave Imam Ali his sword, battle gear, and ring.Three days before his passing, the prophet went to the masjid and asked if anyone had a grievance against him, and offered to let them seek retribution. A man stepped forth saying that the prophet had accidentally hit him on the stomach once. The prophet said he could seek whatever retribution eh wanted. The man asked the prophet to remove his shirt and then kissed the prophet on his stomach.At one point Ammar bin Yasir asked the Prophet how his ghusul and burial should be conducted, and the propeht replied that it would be done by "Ali ibn Abi Talib, for no part of my body will he touch without the angels aiding him in doing so"Another time, when the prophet was weak, he woke up from sleep and asked for "my brother and companion." Aisha said to summon Abu Bakr, when when the prophet woke up again saw him sitting there he turned away from the man. After Abu Bakr's departure the prophet again asked for "my brother and companion." Usman's daughter Umm Salma had Usman summoned, yet he received the same treatment fromt the prophet. When the prophet called for "my brother and companion" a third time, Imam Ali was summoned and the Prophet spoke to him privately for a long time.When asked what they spoke about, Imam Ali replied "He taught me a thousand doors (of knowledge) and each door opens a thousand more. He also entrusted me with responsibilities that, God willing, I will fulfil"Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=800.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojs3bdeq37o&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

In these last few days, many of the companions explicitly disregarded the prophet's instructions in order to secure political power after his demise. The prophet had attempted to prevent their schemes by instructing many of the senior companions to leave Medina with Usama ibn Zayd, so that Imam Ali could assume leadership without interference, but many delayed and made excuses.Some hypocrites were known, but others were skilled at hiding their hypocrisy as proven by the failed assassination attempt.In the even known as "The Calamity of Thursday", while Prophet Muhammad lay on his death bed he decided to take an extra step to explicitly document the his successor and asked for something to write to leave a message "after which you'll never go astray."However, a group of companions who were around him at the time, including Umar, realized that the prophet was planning to document his succession plan and started to strongly object and shout, prompting Prophet Muhammad to order them to leave.The lecture analyzes the various Sunni sources which indicate that the opposition group, which Umar was part of, started saying prophet was "going insane."The fact that these people were willing to sling mud on the prophet's sanity showed to the prophet the futility of writing down his will later. If he were to do so, those people would cast the same aspersions on the prophet's will, casting doubts on his sanity during every instance where he designated Imam Ali as his successor. This could be potentially stretched back all the way to revelation, and the spread of such slander would put people's belief in Islam itself at risk.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=796.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBxvKOHjZcM&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

In today's Tafsir, we uncover the unique wisdom of Imam Ali as he offers an unconventional remedy for pain, blending Quranic insights from Aya 4 of Surah An-Nisaa with natural elements. Discover how three blessed components create a remarkable healing potion, revealing the connection between spiritual wisdom and physical health. Let’s get started.

After Prophet Muhammad declared Ali ibn Abi Talib's successorship, the angel Gabriel descended with an extension of the verse Quran 5:3, adding "today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed my blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion", showing that there's a version of Islam that's perfected and a version that's incomplete.After the kutba, the people were commanded to pledge allegiance to Imam Ali, and the prophet instructed them to greet him with the title Commander of the Faithful. The Prophet instructed Ali to sit in a tent across from his own tent and ordered the Muslims to enter in groups to congratulate him and refer to him with the new title. This process took three days, and included the Muajirun, Ansar, outling Arab tribes, and the prophet's wives.By requiring the Muslim community to personally greet Ali with the new title, the Prophet legitimized Imam Ali's position and left no room for doubt in the mind of anyone present.Many sources say the companions of the prophet came to Imam Ali and congratulated him on the leadership. The first to address him was Umar ibn Al-Khattab, saying "O Ali, you have become my master and the master of every momin and momina"After the three days had passed in Ghadir, a man from the tribe of Banu Makhzum (a staunch enemy of the prophet) arrived and said "O Muhammad, I wish to ask you about three matters..." and he asked if the shahadah, if the laws of islam, and if Ali's successorship was from the prophet or from Allah. When the prophet replied that they were all from Allah, the man became very angry and said "Oh Allah, if Muhammad is truthful then blast me with fire" and within minutes he was struck by lightning.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=777.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9hESB_xSZA&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

Prophet Muhammad was worried about people rebelling against him if he announced Imam Ali as his successor, so he delayed following the message to formalize his succesorship as long as he was allowed to.The wisdom of this showed by how during the hajj. Some companions of the Prophet had suspected the Prophet would announce Imam Ali as his successor at hajj and whenever the prophet would give a sermon that veered towards this topic, they would become agitative and make noise in order to derail the announcement.After the hajj, the Muslims started travelling back towars their home towns, with the Yemenis going south, and the Meccans remaining behind in Mecca, while the prophet and others went north to Medina. At this time Gabriel once again conveyed Allah's command to the Prophet to announce his successor and this time also promised His protection. Perphaps after the groups had split the munafiqeen were in too small a number to cause any trouble, and Prophet Muhammad announced Imam Ali as his successor.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=766.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2uO-I_ZiWo&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

Prophet Muhammad sent a mission to Yemen to invite them to Islam. The first mission was led by Khalid ibn Al-Walid, who was a harsh man who had fought against the Muslims in the Battle of Uhud, but he had an aristrocratic background and by making him feel valued Prophet Muhammad had hoped to turn him into a productive member of the Muslim community.However once in Yemen, instead of following the prophetic principles of dawah Khalid hastily resorted to violence. The Tribe of Numayr, feeling threatened, sent a delegation to the Prophet in Medina to ask for protection from Khalid. The Prophet sent Imam Ali to Yemen to do damage control and instructed Khalid's men to follow him instead. While sending Imam Ali he gave him various bits of advice, emphasizing the need to display wisdom, to soften people's hearts, and to remain upright.The prophet emphasized the importance of avoiding bloodshed if possible, to the point where he said to not even engage in battle unless they kill one of your men first, and to even then first give them a chance to repent.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=754.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfXL7MqjgOU&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

In the last months of the prophet's life, Gabriel descended to the prophet conveying a message from Allah: "There remain two obligations that you must convey to your people: the obligation of Hajj, and the obligation of Wilayah (the guardianship and succession) after you. For indeed, I have never left My earth without a proof, and I will never leave it without one." The Prophet had often spoken about Imam Ali's unique rank, but hadn't formalized his succession in front of a large audience. Prophet Muhammad ordred all who could to join him in his Hajj, about 70-124,000 people joined, and sent a message to Imam Ali, who was still in Yemen, to also join with his men.When nearing Mecca, Imam Ali rushed ahead to meet the Prophet, leaving Abu Rafi al-Qibti in charge of the men. When Imam Ali returned he saw that for their Ihram those men had put on the fine Yemeni fabrics, a khums collected from Yemen. Imam Ali reprimanded them and ordered them removed and repacked immediately. While this was the just course of action, this disciplining would natrually lead to tension being created between him and his troops.After the they all returned to Mecca, Imam Ali was praying in the sacred mosquen when a begger entered and asked for charity. Without interrupting his prayer, from ruku Imam Ali extendeded his hand and offered his ring to the beggar. At this moment some companions were with the prophet as the verse was revealed "Your guardian is only Allah, his Prophet, and the faithful who maintain the prayer and give charity while bowing down."During hajj, the prophet often emphasized the two weightly things he was leaving behind: the Quran and the Ahlul Bayt. During this time Allah repeatedly instructed the prophet to make his succession announcement, but concerns about the potential backlash from some companions kept Prophet Muhammad from doing so until Allah sent a promise of protection.The Prophet's concern about backlash from his companions foreshadowed the opposition Imam Ali would later encounter.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=762.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NoMKBn89Pc&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

The Qaim Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem sits down with Faraz Al-Almahdi and delves deep into the narrations of the Ahlul Bayt (as) regarding the profound connections between the Qaim and the Prophets before him. Specifically, he explores the unique "sunnah" of the Prophets that the Qaim embodies, focusing on the parallels with Prophet Jesus. In this enlightening discussion, the Qaim reveals how Imam Ali (as) prayed for a particular quality to be present in the Qaim, aligning him closely with the divine mission of Jesus. Aba Al-Sadiq sheds light on how he, as the Qaim, fulfills one of the essential laws of Jesus, embodying the spiritual legacy of his mission. Throughout the conversation, many insightful parallels between these two messianic figures are drawn, revealing a shared purpose and a continuity of divine guidance. As the Qaim explains, this alignment is not merely symbolic but represents a profound connection to the spirit of God that has flowed through all the Prophets, from Adam to Jesus, and now to the Qaim himself.

"Why are you even a Shia?" - The words which we hear all too often, particularly now, between the emotive seasons of Ghadeer and Muharram. In this episode, Ahmed and Sayed Ali are joined by Sayed Jawad Elhassan, a student of Islam and active member of community. We look at responses to hate speech, along with reinforcing the reasons why we accept Wilayah, and accept the leadership of Imam Ali (as) after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw). We also talk about the value of engaging in religious dialogue, as well as some of our favourite hadith within Shiism. Join us in this upbeat and insightful episode.

Full title: Battle of Siffin: The Intrigues Against Imam Ali's Statebuilding Project & Its Legacy in the Modern Middle East This talk explores the politics and legacy of the Battle of Siffin — a foundational moment in the early political memory and history of Islam that pitted Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib against a rebellion in Syria led by Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan. As the first Shi'a Imam and fourth Sunni Caliph, the figure of Ali looms large in the consciousness of Muslims from the very early Islamic period until today. The talk is divided into two sections. The first explores the dialogue and politics between Ali and the diverse battle factions in his army at the Battle of Siffin. It analyzes Imam Ali's state building project, the interests of various elite generals and divisions within Imam Ali's army, the context behind internal Muslim conflict and the political order of the early Islamic state, and the distinctions made by Ali regarding the roots and reasons behind internal civil conflict within the Muslim body politic. The second section analyzes how contemporary thinkers and scholars in the modern Middle East have interpreted the legacy of Imam Ali, the Battle of Siffin, and the "First Muslim Civil War” as a lens through which to understand the intersection between early Islamic history and modern political theology as well as debates over governance and statecraft in contemporary Islamic intellectual thought.

When leaving for Tabuk, the Prophet (s) appointed Imam Ali (as) as his deputy in Madinah to protect against any uprising led by the Munafiqeen. Explaining it's significance, he said to Imam Ali "You are to me as Harun was to Musa, except that there is no prophet after me."There were at least 7 occasions that Prophet Muhammad made such a statement during his life.One such occasion was narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab, when he emphasized how precious such a statement was by saying "If I had [a quality like that mentioned about me or my family], it would be dearer to me than anything."What ranks did Prophet Harun have compared to Prophet Musa?  - Minister  - Helper  - Brother  - Backer/Strengthener  - PartnerThe lecture includes objections Sunni scholars have raised to believing that this status continued after the Prophet's death, and Shia rebuttals to those objections.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=724Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4wgpyhlgVQ&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT

In this week's English Tafsir of Surah Al-Imran Ayat 188, we explore the saying of Imam Ali, may God be pleased with him: "Nothing whatsoever can be labeled as good if Hellfire follows, and nothing whatsoever can be labeled as evil if it leads you to Paradise."

Prophet Muhammad destroys all the idols in the Kaaba with Imam Ali's help and washes the images that had been drawn inside.He then introduced Islam to the Meccans, discarding their ideas of nationalism and tribalism, and offered a general amnesty regardless of if they convert to Islam.Prophet Muhammad told Bilal to climb on top of the Kaaba to give the Azaan. Ikrima bin Abu Jahl saw that and made disparraging remarks about it, with a couple other pagans agreeing. They were soon shokced when Prophet Muhammad came over and said "I know what you said about Bilal" and repeated their words verbatim, revealing his miraculous knowledge.The Prophet stayed in Mecca for 19 more days and during that time many prominent Meccans who had initially resisted conversion would end up converting instead of fleeing, including Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl, Suhayl ibn Amr, and Safwan ibn Umayyah.Lecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=691.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_2pklaBlHA&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.
