Podcasts about Karbala

This episode uncovers a hidden pattern that connects the crucifixion of Jesus, the tragedy of Karbala, and the knowledge of the prophets themselves. Drawing directly from the Bible, early Christian sources, Islamic narrations, and esoteric traditions, it explores why Adam, Moses, and Jesus were aware of Karbala long before it occurred, and why events surrounding Jesus and Imam al-Hussain may not be as they appear on the surface. This is not speculation or symbolism, but a deep theological investigation into substitution, divine protection, and the way truth can be concealed in plain sight. Viewers are invited to question inherited narratives and examine what scripture actually says when read carefully.

Who writes Islamic history — empires and rulers, or ordinary believers?In this research seminar hosted by AMI on 14 January 2026, Dr Hassan Abbas presents insights from his forthcoming book project, A People's History of Islam. Challenging state-centred and court-sponsored historiography, Dr Abbas explores Islam through the lived faith of pilgrims, mystics, poets, and everyday communities across centuries.Drawing on extensive travels to major pilgrimage sites — from Fez, Konya, and Baku to Lahore, Karbala, and Makkah — the seminar highlights how oral tradition, spirituality, and devotion preserve histories often absent from official archives. Dr Abbas also reflects on the role of mysticism alongside juridical tradition, the challenge of writing accessible yet rigorous scholarship, and the problem of sectarian framing in Western representations of Islam.Speaker:Dr Hassan Abbas is a Distinguished Professor of International Relations based in Washington, DC, and a Senior Advisor at Harvard University's Project on Shi'ism and Global Affairs. He is the author of The Prophet's Heir (Yale University Press) and several other widely cited works on Islam and global affairs.

Real Story of Imam Hussain (RA) — Sahil AdeemShould we protest every problem? Sahil connects the Waqia-e-Karbala to today's struggles, and explains why we rarely find hadith from Hazrat Ali or Imam Hussain (RA) — raw, exclusive insight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this groundbreaking episode of the School of Divine Mysteries, Aharon — a 48-year-old Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem — reveals how his sincere search for God led him from strict Judaism… to recognizing the Mahdi, Aba Al-Sadiq. Raised in Israel, married with five children, and deeply devoted to Torah and Orthodox Jewish life, Aharon always believed he needed to “find the Moses of his time.” His journey took a shocking turn when he discovered Yeshua (Jesus), the tragedy of Karbala, and the hidden prophecies in Judaism that align with the Mahdi and the family of Prophet Muhammad. For the first time ever, Aharon publicly shares:

Friday Juma KhutbaNovember 21st, 2025The sermon opens by reminding believers to maintain God-consciousness and seek protection from spiritual pitfalls.The global Shia community is commemorating the martyrdom of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (a), whose short life left a profound and lasting impact on Islamic history.Many non-Muslims first drawn to the tragedy of Karbala end up discovering Fatima (a), which becomes a turning point in their spiritual journey.Christopher Clohessy, a Catholic priest, was led to Fatima (a) through his research on Imam Husayn, finding deep parallels between Fatima and Mary in Christianity.A Hindu convert to Islam also found his final spiritual pull through studying the life of Lady Fatima (a).Even within the Arab world, seekers have embraced Shi‘ism after being moved by the eloquence and conviction of Fatima's sermons, especially her arguments on inheritance rights.Fatima's powerful words in her khutbah—challenging injustice and affirming Qur'anic truth—have transformed hearts and guided many towards recognizing her spiritual authority.She is described as a “furqan,” a divine standard that separates truth from falsehood.The second sermon highlights a section of Fatima's speech explaining the spiritual and social wisdom behind various Islamic rituals.These include faith as purification, prayer as removal of arrogance, charity as growth, fasting as sincerity, justice as unity, obedience to the Ahlul Bayt as protection from division, and many other ethical foundations culminating in pure monotheism.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Friday Juma KhutbaSeptember 9th, 2025- Eid-e Zahra marks the symbolic closure of mourning for Karbala; soon will be the Prophet's birth anniversary.- Prophet said, “Ḥusayn is from me and I am from Ḥusayn”; Muslims must choose between Ḥusayn and Yazid.- Some Sunni scholars have defended or exonerated Yazid, Ibn Ziyād, and ‘Umar ibn Sa‘d.- The concept of “khaṭā ijtihādi” has been used to excuse Yazid's actions.- “Khaṭā ijtihādi” means a forgiven mistake after sincere effort in deriving a ruling, but only applies to unclear issues.- The status of Imām Ḥusayn (a) was clear in Qur'anic verses and Prophet's statements.- Yazid cannot be considered a mujtahid.- The concept has been selectively applied to excuse opponents of Imām ‘Ali (a) but not rebels against ‘Uthmān.- Example: Ibn Ḥazm claimed Ibn Muljim killed Imām ‘Ali (a) based on ijtihad, believing he was right.- Such arguments are rejected; oppressors must be called oppressors.- Parallel drawn with Palestine: Oct. 7, 2023, attack used as justification for Israel's assault on Gaza.- Israeli offensive devastated Gaza, destroying hospitals, schools, and displacing millions; over 63,000 killed, half women and children.- Israel weaponized food and water against civilians.- Debate continues whether Gaza situation qualifies as genocide.- Israel and Western supporters justify it as “right to defence,” similar to “khaṭā ijtihādi.”- South Africa brought a genocide case against Israel to the ICJ, and many world leaders have called it genocide.- The International Association of Genocide Scholars declared Israel's actions meet the UN legal definition of genocide.- Resolution passed with 86% support, accusing Israel of indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on civilians and infrastructure.- Irony noted that descendants of genocide victims now commit genocide under the label of self-defence.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

After a long-awaited pause, we're excited to resume our thought-provoking sessions, engaging with your deepest questions through the lens of Qur'an and the teachings of Ahlulbayt (as). We begin with one of the most challenging and misunderstood questions, addressing the theological heart of the Husayni revolution: was it martyrdom or self-destruction? What was the divine wisdom behind his foreknowledge and decision? And how do we respond to those who raise such objections?

Arbaeen is approaching - the 40th day after the Battle of Ashura, where over 25 million pilgrims flock to Karbala, Iraq, to visit the shrine of Imam Hussain (as) and his brother, Abbas ibn Ali (as), and pay respects and salutations. In this episode, Husein and Zohaib share their fondest memories and experiences visiting Iraq. The highs and lows, the best and most difficult moments, and what they'd advise to anyone yearning or unable to make a trip. This discussion is an emotional rollercoaster.

The aftermath of the Day of Ashura means we have a lot to reflect on, and a lot to work on. We're joined this week by Sheikh Azhar Nasser of the USA, who guides us on understanding the mission of Imam Hussain (as) through a number of lenses. We review why Karbala does not receive global media attention, how to propagate the message of the Imam, and tackling misconceptions of Karbala - like did the Shia kill Imam Hussain, was Karbala a political tug of war, and much more. Not to be missed!

Together, we explore the political, spiritual, and social dimensions of Karbala, and reflect on the timeless lessons drawn from his unmatched character and unwavering resolve.

How do we introduce Imam Hussain (as) to others? Why don't more people know about such a monumental figure in human history? Have we failed as a community in bringing his message to others? This week, we're joined by Ahmed's brother, Mohamedali, and Muntazir Rai - both key figures within Who is Hussain (www.whoishussain.org).

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews J.R. Martinez. From the battlefields of Iraq to the dance floor of ABC's “Dancing with the Stars”, J.R. Martinez has woven a remarkable tale of resilience and triumph. The Louisiana-born Army Iraq war veteran, and multifaceted talent has defied expectations at every turn, leaving an indelible mark on the worlds of entertainment, literature, and motivational speaking. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Martinez comes from a multicultural background – his mom, a resilient single parent originally from El Salvador, and his dad, of Mexican descent. In 2002, a young and idealistic Martinez embarked on military training in Fort Benning, Georgia, honing his skills as an 11-B Infantryman. In January of 2003, he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division and in March of that year, he was deployed to Iraq. Tragedy struck on April 5th, 2003, less than a month into his deployment. While driving in the outsides of Karbala, a roadside bomb engulfed his Humvee, trapping Martinez within, inflicting severe burns to more than 34% of his body and smoke inhalation. Evacuated to Germany and then San Antonio, he spent 34 months undergoing 33 surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic procedures. This harrowing ordeal, however, proved to be a crucible, forging his inner strength and igniting a new purpose. Amidst recovery, Martinez discovered his calling as a motivational speaker. Sharing his story with fellow burn survivors, he embarked on a global journey of inspiration, captivating audiences at military bases and speaking for esteemed organizations like Delta and Wells Fargo. He embraced the philosophy of "Adapt & OvercomeSM," a personal mantra that resonated with audiences worldwide. His commitment to giving back extended beyond speaking engagements. Organizations like Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors and Glasswing International found a passionate advocate in Martinez, reflecting his deep belief in community and gratitude. His dedication was recognized through numerous awards, including the Ivy Award for his work with veterans and the National Red Cross Spirit Award. In true Hollywood fashion, encouraged by a friend, he auditioned for "All My Children," landing a three-month role that blossomed into a three-year career, igniting his passion for acting. In 2011, he further captivated audiences on “Dancing with the Stars”, clinching the coveted mirror ball trophy alongside Karina Smirnoff. This triumph opened doors, expanding his platform and solidifying his connection with a loyal fan base. Never one to rest on his laurels, Martinez ventured into writing. His memoir, "Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength, and Spirit," became a New York Times bestseller, proving the power of vulnerability and resonating with readers alike. His thirst for knowledge led him to pursue higher education, a milestone that marked him as the first in his family to attend college. Today, Martinez remains a sought-after motivational speaker, balancing his time between travel, veteran non-profits, acting engagements, fitness pursuits, and cherished moments with his wife, Diana, and their children. He continues to spread his message of resilience and optimism, inspiring audiences both on and off stage. Martinez's journey, though remarkable, is still in its early chapters, and the world eagerly awaits what this multifaceted hero will achieve next.   Sign up for the Happiness Solved Plus Exclusive Membership Site: http://HappinessSolved.Supercast.com   Connect with J.R.:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamjrmartinez  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjrmartinez  Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamjrmartinez   Website: https://jrmartinez.com/    Connect with Sandee www.sandeesgarlata.com Podcast: www.happinesssolved.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/coachsandeesgarlata Twitter: www.twitter.com/sandeesgarlata Instagram: www.instagram.com/coachsandeesgarlata
