July 11th, 202515th Muharram 1447Friday Jumu'ah Khutba* The Shi‘a and some Sufi/Sunni communities commemorated the tragedy of Karbala, symbolizing the struggle between justice and tyranny.* Imam Husayn (a) offered to leave peacefully when rejected by the people, but refused to surrender to an unjust ruler or flee in humiliation.* Husayn's refusal to pledge allegiance to Yazid was a vital moral and spiritual stance, representing divine truth and justice over tyranny.* Accepting Yazid would have symbolized the defeat of moral principles.* Imam Husayn (a) declared that humiliation was not acceptable for the family of the Prophet, as God and the righteous reject obedience to oppressors.* A local dispute arose around a public display of Husayn's quote “Never to humiliation” at the Jaffari Community Centre, where neighbours and the local community misinterpreted the meaning behind this universal message* This slogan embodies global resolve against oppression, urging peoples to resist injustice peacefully, as explained earlier in the lecture* It does not represent, encourage, condone, or relate to any form of violence* We invite the local community and neighbours to reach out and learn more about this message and Husayn's struggle for freedom, rather than making assumptions or spreading misinformation* The message of Karbala is universal and continues to inspire oppressed people worldwide to stand against injustice.* Conveying the message of the oppressed, like Lady Zaynab and Imam Zaynul ‘Abidin did, is a vital part of resistance against false narratives.* Highlighting modern parallels to historical episodes of oppression, especially media bias and suppression of voices criticizing Israeli actions in Gaza, where labels of Anti-Semitism are used to silence valid criticisms of a government systemDonate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Eid ul MubahilaJune 20th 202523rd Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH– Mubahala is when the Prophet challenged the Najran Christians to invoke God's curse on the liars.– It happened peacefully after the Treaty of Ḥudaybiyya when Islam spread by preaching, not war.– The Prophet sent letters to many leaders, including the Bishop of Najran, inviting them to monotheism.– The Najran Christians sent a delegation for dialogue; the Prophet explained pure tawḥīd.– They insisted Jesus was divine; the Prophet refuted this with Qur'an comparing Jesus to Adam.– Allah commanded the Prophet to settle it through Mubahala, bringing his closest family.– The Prophet came with Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn — showing who was truthful.– Seeing this, the Christian leader backed out, choosing peace and paying jizya instead.– This showed Islam's victory through logic and the special status of Ahl al-Bayt.– It contrasts with Christian history of forced conversions and refutes Pope Benedict's claims.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Shahadat of Sons of Hazrat Muslim bin Aqil (a)Wednesday June 18th 202522nd Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH* Muslim bin ‘Aqil's martyrdom marks the beginning of the Karbala tragedy, and his two sons, Muhammad and Ibrahim, were martyred brutally about a year later.* The Quran's 31st chapter is named after Luqmān, an Abyssinian sage known for his wisdom, though not necessarily a prophet.* Allah granted Luqmān wisdom and used his words of advice in the Quran to teach key values to humanity.* Luqmān's first advice to his son is Tawhid: never associate partners with Allah, as shirk is a grave injustice.* He reminds his son about Qiyāmat: that even the smallest deeds will be brought forth by Allah for judgment, reinforcing accountability.* Luqmān stresses the importance of establishing prayer as an act of submission, gratitude, and seeking divine support.* He instructs his son to command good and forbid evil, showing concern for the moral wellbeing of society.* Luqmān emphasizes patience as essential for fulfilling duties and withstanding hardships and opposition.* He teaches humility in behavior: do not act arrogantly, be moderate in walking, and keep the voice gentle and low.* Allah adds advice about gratitude to parents, obedience within limits, and how Muslim bin ‘Aqil's sons embodied strong faith, duty, patience, and sacrifice even in hardship.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Eid E Ghadeer 1446 AHJune 14th 202518th Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH* Islam was completed and perfected through the announcement of Imamat at Ghadir, not just through prayers and fasting.* Allah revealed a verse commanding the Prophet to deliver this crucial message, promising divine protection against opposition.* The Prophet declared Ali as Mawla after announcing the perfection of religion and Allah's satisfaction with Islam as a complete system.* Many verses and narrations show that all acts of worship are invalid if done without accepting the rightful Imams.* Ghadir highlights that Wilāyat is not just love for Ali, but obedience and submission to his authority as appointed by Allah.* Islam's perfection relies on both Tawḥīd and acceptance of divine leadership through the Prophet's family.* Shayṭān's story shows that worship without obedience is worthless; he worshipped for thousands of years but refused to submit to Allah's choice.* Shayṭān believed in Allah and worshipped Him but failed the test of surrendering his pride when commanded to bow to Adam.* True Islam requires both belief in God and complete surrender to His chosen guides, preventing the mistakes of past nations.* Ghadir serves as a reminder and a test for Muslims to maintain Islam's complete form by upholding the Imamat.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Eid-ul-Adha 14469th Dhul Hijjah 1446June 6, 2025* Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrāhīm's (a) success in fully submitting to God's will, highlighting that Islam means the struggle to surrender.* Ibrāhīm faced two key challenges in his final test: internal (love for his son) and external (Shayṭān trying to deter him three times).* The three pillars stoned at Mina represent these diversions by Shayṭān; on a deeper level, they symbolize the internal and external obstacles to submission.* The first pillar represents the evil within (nafs ammārah), the second represents devils among jinn, and the third symbolizes satanic human influences.* Ibrāhīm was victorious over Shayṭān because he had already purified his soul, fulfilling the verse “successful is he who purifies it.”* Eid al-Adha teaches us, even outside of ḥajj, to be vigilant against internal and external satanic forces.* On the first day in Mina, only the first pillar is stoned before sacrifice—showing that defeating one's own nafs is necessary to sacrifice sincerely.* Pilgrims throw 49 pebbles total across the days, symbolizing the 49 major sins in Islamic teachings—each pebble representing a dimension of evil.* We should self-reflect and identify at least seven negative traits to begin the path of spiritual purification.* While we celebrate Eid, we must not forget oppressed Muslims like those in Gaza, and we pray for the reappearance of the Mahdī to establish true justice.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Shahadat of 5th Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (AS)6th Dhul Hijjah 1446 AHJune 3rd, 2025* Imam Muḥammad al-Bāqir (a) was known for his depth of knowledge, as described by the Prophet (s): “he will dig out knowledge the way it should be.”* A narration highlights the Imām referencing the “Book of ʿAlī” as the most authentic source of knowledge, emphasizing divine revelation through Jibrāʾīl.* In a hadith, the Imām categorized actions into four groups: ladders of good deeds, penalties for sins, major sins, and elements of salvation.* Good deeds include initiating salām, feeding others (especially the needy), and praying at night when others are asleep.* Penalties that erase sins include doing wuḍūʾ in cold weather, walking to congregational prayers, and maintaining regular prayers.* Major sins include obeying greed, following one's desires, and self-conceit or arrogance—each warned against in the Qur'an.* Elements of salvation are fearing Allah in private and public, being moderate in wealth or poverty, and speaking justly in pleasure or anger.* Imam al-Bāqir (a) was poisoned in early Dhul Ḥijjah by the ruling powers who, after Karbala, resorted to covert assassination of the Imams.* As his wafāt neared, he asked that women recite marsiya for him in Mina for ten years, linking his memory to the tragedy of Karbala.* Imam al-Bāqir was five at Karbala and never forgot the trauma; he is buried beside his father in Baqīʿ, and his demolished shrine remains a cause of grief for believers.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Shahadat of 9th Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad (AS)29th Dhul Qadah 1446 AHMay 27th, 2025* Imam Muḥammad at-Taqi al-Jawād (a.s.) became Imam at a young age and was known for his deep taqwa despite his youth.* He lived during the rule of Ma'mun and Mu‘tasim and passed away at age 25 in Baghdad.* Du‘a (supplication) is a vital means of communication with Allah and a sign of humility and trust.* The Qur'an strongly encourages believers to call upon Allah, promising a response to sincere prayers.* Shi‘a Islam has a rich legacy of du‘a literature transmitted from the Prophet and Imams, covering various personal and spiritual needs.* Imam al-Jawād (a.s.) taught a famous du‘a to be recited after the Fajr prayer, beginning with "أفوض أمري إلى الله...".* Early sources attribute this du‘a directly to Imam al-Jawād (a.s.), stating it brings ease and acceptance of one's requests.* The du‘a incorporates verses from the Qur'an that emphasize reliance, repentance, and trust in Allah's protection and sufficiency.* Phrases in the du‘a reinforce that Allah alone is the ultimate Provider, Creator, and Protector—sufficient against all needs.* Imam al-Jawād (a.s.) also gifted his wife a document with ten du‘as for various life situations, showing the importance of supplication in all aspects of life.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Yaum-e-Gham 1446 AHEve of 12th Shawwal 1446 AHThursday April 10th 2025- The destruction of Jannatul Baqi took place on 8 Shawwāl 1343 (2 May 1925) by the Wahhabis, targeting the graves of the Ahlul Bayt, companions, and others in Medina. - Wahhabi ideology sees respect shown at graves as shirk, failing to differentiate between worship and reverence. - If not for fear of global backlash, Wahhabis might have demolished the Prophet's grave and incorporated it into the mosque. - A fatwa from Wahhabi scholars states that prayer in a mosque containing a grave is invalid, and graves must be exhumed and relocated. - The Qur'an shows that expressions of humility, like bowing or prostrating, are not inherently acts of worship. - ‘Ibādat (worship) is defined as humility expressed toward someone believed to be God, true or false. - Prostration (sajdah) was commanded by Allah to the angels for Prophet Ādam and done by Ya‘qūb and his sons for Prophet Yūsuf, proving it's not always worship. - Building shrines or visiting graves of righteous figures is not worship but an expression of respect and love. - No Muslim visits the graves of the Prophet or Imams with the intention of worshipping them—rather, it is a spiritual connection. - Despite the light and glory of shrines in Najaf, Karbala, Kazimayn, Samarrah, and Mashhad, Baqi remains desolate—yet the love for the Ahlul Bayt continues through remembrance and grief, especially for Sayyida Fatima.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Gratitude is key to spiritual growth. • The Qur'ān was revealed in this month, making it a time for deepening our connection with it beyond just recitation. • The Qur'ān provides guidance at different levels, from general guidance for all to specific guidance for believers, the righteous, and the good-doers. • Strive to elevate your faith, moving from being a Muslim to a mu'min, then to a muttaqi, and finally a muḥsin. • Follow the Ahlul Bayt as role models in both faith and action, as they exemplify the Qur'ān in their lives. • Iḥsān (excellence in faith) is described in Qur'ān 3:133-134 and includes charity, patience, and forgiveness. • Be charitable in all situations—give from whatever you have and support those suffering, including in Gaza and Lebanon. • Control your anger, especially when you have the power to retaliate; true strength lies in restraint and patience. • Forgive others so that Allāh may forgive you—learn from Imām Zaynul ‘Ābidin, who freed his maid when reminded of Qur'ānic teachings on kindness. • Move from simply reading the Qur'ān to truly living by its teachings in your daily life.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

24th Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 23rd 2025- Dr. Keith Moore, a Canadian embryologist, analyzed Quranic verses and concluded that their scientific accuracy suggests divine origin. - Dr. Persaud, another Canadian professor, supported Moore's findings and stated that the Quran's descriptions of science are too precise to be coincidental. - The lecture highlights that non-Muslim scientists have recognized the Quran's truth, while many Muslims have not deeply studied it. - Imam Ali's will advises Muslims to prioritize the Quran and warns against letting others understand it before them. - Social media narratives falsely claim that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) secretly learned scientific knowledge from others. - The Quraysh initially called the Prophet a poet, then a sorcerer, and finally insane, but never accused him of learning from scholars. - Historical evidence does not support claims that the Prophet acquired knowledge from experts in medicine or astronomy. - Opponents of Islam feared the Quran's impact and warned people to avoid hearing its verses. - The Prophet's teachings continued to spread despite opposition, showing that accusations against him were baseless. - The Quran remains a source of knowledge and guidance, and its connection to scientific facts strengthens its credibility.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

23rd Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 22nd 2025- The last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly the 19th, 21st, and 23rd, are significant because Laylatul Qadr occurs during this time, a night worth more than a thousand months.- Laylatul Qadr is linked to the Quran's revelation, marking a personal honor for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and an important annual event.- The Quran was revealed gradually over 22 years, with its complete revelation (Inzaal) on Laylatul Qadr.- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was unschooled (ummi), which challenges the notion that he learned the Quran from other sources.- Despite living in a region with limited interaction with Jews or Christians, no one accused the Prophet of learning the Quran from outside influences.- A brief encounter between the Prophet and a Christian monk during his childhood in Damascus is sometimes misused to claim the Prophet learned from him, but it is not a strong basis for this theory.- While the Quran shares some stories with the Bible, such as those of past Prophets, the Quran's unique details distinguish its accounts from those in other scriptures.- The Quran recognizes the Torah and the Gospel as previous revelations but also acknowledges that these scriptures were altered over time.- For example, the story of Pharaoh's drowning in the Red Sea is expanded in the Quran with the unique detail of Pharaoh's body being preserved, which isn't mentioned in the Bible.- The authenticity of the Quran is proven through its divine origin and preservation, refuting claims that the Prophet plagiarized from other sources.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Eve of 21st Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 20th 2025- Imām ‘Ali's silence during the 25 years of the khulafā' was intentional; he did not accept their legitimacy but refrained from armed conflict for the greater good of Islam while offering guidance in Qur'ānic and judicial matters. - He described his exclusion from the caliphate as unjust, yet he chose patience over conflict, despite feeling deep pain and witnessing the plundering of his rights. - Imām ‘Ali invested in reviving barren lands, digging wells, and planting palm trees, dedicating much of his wealth as endowments (waqf) to support his family and the needy. - His charity extended beyond land development; he also focused on the emancipation of slaves, personally freeing a thousand with earnings from his own labor. - His personal lifestyle was one of extreme simplicity, despite his wealth; he ensured that leaders lived modestly so that the poor would not feel deprived and the wealthy would remain humble. - Despite being a ruler, he sealed his simple food to prevent any addition of luxury, emphasizing that a just leader should live like the weakest member of his community. - His killer, Ibn Muljim, was described as "the most wretched of people," yet Imām ‘Ali instructed his family to treat him kindly, even sharing his own food with him. - During his final moments, the doctor confirmed that his fatal wound was beyond healing, advising only milk as sustenance, which Imām ‘Ali shared with his assassin. - His funeral was conducted in secrecy, attended only by family and loyal companions due to fears that enemies would desecrate his grave. - His daughter Zaynab witnessed not only his secret burial but also the tragedies of Karbala, where the body of Ḥusayn was left unburied in the open plains.

Eve of 20th Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 19th 2025- Imam Ali divided his life into four phases, with a focus on his 25 years of silence, during which he worked the land to support his family and engaged in charitable acts. - He established numerous endowments (waqf) by cultivating land, planting palm trees, and digging wells to make barren lands arable. - His endowment deed was made purely for seeking Allah's pleasure, ensuring benefits for the poor, his family, and the broader society. - His properties in Yanbu, Wadi al-Qura, Daymah, Udhaynah, and Faqirayn were designated as waqf, with their revenues used for charity and supporting Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib. - Imam Ali appointed Imam Hasan as the custodian of the waqf, granting him full authority to manage and distribute its resources as needed, including settling debts if necessary. - If Imam Hasan passed away, the custodianship would transfer to Imam Husayn, with the same responsibilities and authority. - If both Hasan and Husayn were no longer alive, the next custodian would be chosen from Imam Ali's sons or, if necessary, from the descendants of Abu Talib or Banu Hashim. - The waqf properties could not be sold, gifted, or inherited, and only their revenues were to be used for designated charitable and familial purposes. - Imam Ali also freed several of his slaves, ensuring their welfare and sustenance for a transition period, and set clear conditions for their continued service. - He personally wrote and signed this endowment deed in 37 AH, ensuring witnesses were present to validate its legitimacy.

In this episode, Chella Ward and Salman Sayyid talked to Adnan Husain about some of the challenges involved in reorienting history. We spoke about the opportunities and limitations of the idea of ‘the global' as a way of organising history, and explored the relationship between the global and the decolonial. Adnan Husain is a Medieval European and Middle Eastern historian at Queen's University, Canada. He has a particular interest in the relationship between Muslims, Jews and Christians in the medieval Mediterranean and we particularly enjoyed talking to him about the question of methodology: how do we write a new history of the world?

In this episode Chella Ward and Salman Sayyid talked to Professor Priyamvada Gopal, Professor of Postcolonial Studies at the University of Cambridge. We talked about her important work on anticolonial resistance, about the importance of the literary in imagining liberation, and about the relationship between the Muslim and the decolonial – and also had the opportunity to hear about some of her upcoming work. This episode is the first in our series on ReOrienting History.

This episode is the third one this series where we look back over the first principles of the ReOrient project. In previous episodes we have discussed post-orientalism and post-positivism, here we turn to decoloniality. Discussions of decoloniality have become increasingly mainstream since the ‘Decolonise the Curriculum' and ‘Rhodes Must Fall' movements, and calls to decolonise are often heard on pro-Palestine marches around the world. But what is the relationship between the decolonial and the Islamicate? And how do we ensure that as it is mainstreamed, decolonial thought does not lose its meaning? To find out, let's listen in.

The third episode of this season of Radio ReOrient continues our project this season of returning to the first principles of Critical Muslim Studies. In the previous episode, Hizer Mir and Salman Sayyid discussed post-positivism: here they turn to post-orientalism. The advent of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 shook the foundations of many academic disciplines. Not only Oriental Studies (which was the most obvious object of Said's critique) but almost every discipline found itself asking the question: how should we respond to Said's Orientalism? How should our subjects be studied differently now that we know what we know about knowledge production? In this episode we delve into some of these questions.

This episode is the first of three special episodes in this season of Radio ReOrient in which we look back on the first principles of Critical Muslim Studies. In this episode, Hizer Mir talks to Salman Sayyid about post-positivism - what it means, what it offers, and how it relates to the project of decolonising. The discussion that we kick off here will reverberate throughout this series, as we return to talk in later episodes about post-orientalism and decoloniality.
