0 00:00:01,20 --> 00:00:04,11 Remarks/ statement of Grand Ayatollah Waheed Khorasani regarding the importance of the month of Ramazan and travelling for Tableegh 1 00:00:06,17 --> 00:00:13,07 26th Shaban, 1431 = 7th August, 2010 2 00:00:16,14 --> 00:00:21,18 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful 3 00:00:23,12 --> 00:00:28,03 "( O People!) Without doubt the Month of Allah has turned its face towards you." 4 00:00:29,10 --> 00:00:39,05 This sermon is an ocean of wisdom 5 00:00:41,08 --> 00:00:51,13 Even if a book is written explaining this first sentence 6 00:00:51,22 --> 00:00:57,09 it would not be able to do justice to its meaning 7 00:00:57,17 --> 00:01:18,19 The essence of jurisprudence( fiqh) is understanding the subtleties and precision of the sayings of Ahlul Bayt (AS) 8 00:01:20,11 --> 00:01:32,08 "قد اقبل اليكم": "Without doubt the Month of God has turned its face towards you" 9 00:01:32,15 --> 00:01:37,09 This translation is wrong 10 00:01:38,01 --> 00:01:43,20 God is different from Allah 11 00:01:44,09 --> 00:02:00,12 Allah is a name that encompasses all the names of God 12 00:02:00,19 --> 00:02:12,00 However, from want of a better translation it is said: "Month of God" 13 00:02:12,12 --> 00:02:27,11 The Month has been related to Allah. Perceiving Allah is perplexing for intellects. 14 00:02:28,15 --> 00:02:40,06 In the Quran each verse( ayah) that begins with Allah, 15 00:02:40,10 --> 00:02:47,21 that verse is very important 16 00:02:48,00 --> 00:03:03,14 According to the traditions the best of the chapters( surah) of the Quran is Surah al-Baqarah 17 00:03:04,14 --> 00:03:14,15 The best of the ayahs of Surah al Baqarah is Ayat al-Kursi 18 00:03:14,22 --> 00:03:21,21 Ayat al-Kursi begins with Allah 19 00:03:22,04 --> 00:03:38,11 "Allaho la ilaha illa hua al-Hayy ul-Qayyum" till "al-Ali ul-Azeem" 20 00:03:38,19 --> 00:03:49,10 Ayat al-Kursi enjoys this prestigious position. In the Beginning is Allah 21 00:03:49,20 --> 00:03:55,05 The month has been related to Allah 22 00:03:55,10 --> 00:04:01,10 "( O People!) Without doubt the Month of Allah has turned its face towards you." 23 00:04:01,21 --> 00:04:07,14 One must stop to ponder here 24 00:04:08,05 --> 00:04:14,16 The Month is the month of deification 25 00:04:15,02 --> 00:04:26,22 This is the month that has been related to the Sacrosanct Being of Allah 26 00:04:27,01 --> 00:04:35,17 So what is the hubbub in this month all about? What's the pandemonium all about? 27 00:04:35,23 --> 00:04:48,11 "The Month of Ramazan in which came down the Quran……." 28 00:04:48,16 --> 00:04:52,04 "A guidance for mankind…..." 29 00:04:52,07 --> 00:05:00,09 " And clear proofs from(of?) the Guidance and the Furqan( The Criterion of right and wrong) 30 00:05:00,15 --> 00:05:08,13 These subtleties of the Quran have not been comprehended. 31 00:05:08,19 --> 00:05:16,08 This verse introduces to us the Month of Ramazan. 32 00:05:16,11 --> 00:05:23,16 It is then that jurisprudents( fuqaha)….. 33 00:05:23,20 --> 00:05:39,05 Jurisprudents that we speak of are Shiekh Ansari, Shaheed e Awwal, Shaheed e Thani,…... 34 00:05:39,23 --> 00:05:44,23 These people understand these subtleties 35 00:05:45,01 --> 00:05:54,15 In this verse both the Quran and Furqan have been gathered together 36 00:05:55,00 --> 00:06:02,18 "The Month of Ramazan," ………… You must try comprehending this well 37 00:06:02,23 --> 00:06:12,18 "The Month of Ramazan in which came down the Quran……." 38 00:06:12,20 --> 00:06:23,18 "A guidance for mankind and clear proofs from the Guidance and the Furqan." 39 00:06:23,23 --> 00:06:32,16 In one verse both Quran and Furqan have been brought together 40 00:06:32,21 --> 00:06:42,03 Afterwards the majesty of Ramazan has been explained by these two words. 41 00:06:42,07 --> 00:06:49,00 Furqan itself has this buzz about it 42 00:06:49,03 --> 00:07:07,01 "Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave Al-Furqan( The Criterion of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples" 43 00:07:07,04 --> 00:07:15,10 Then there is a detailed discussion about the word Quran itself. 44 00:07:15,14 --> 00:07:23,23 "Verily! This Quran guides unto that(path) which is steadiest and most secure." 45 00:07:24,02 --> 00:07:31,16 Then the month of Ramazan is identified from here that 46 00:07:31,19 --> 00:07:39,06 it is the period when the Quran and Furqan were revealed. 47 00:07:39,10 --> 00:07:49,12 We have not comprehended the realities of religion 48 00:07:49,15 --> 00:07:59,15 When did commentaries( of the Quran) reach these subtleties? 49 00:07:59,19 --> 00:08:12,05 One verse is enough for the experts to work for months. 50 00:08:12,09 --> 00:08:22,10 " The Month of Ramazan in which came down the Quran." 51 00:08:22,14 --> 00:08:38,06 When the(Quran) explains this month: This is the month and then ? 52 00:08:38,08 --> 00:08:45,06 "….in which came down the Quran" 53 00:08:45,11 --> 00:08:54,13 "A guidance for mankind and clear proofs from the Guidance and the Furqan." 54 00:08:54,17 --> 00:09:05,15 Then it goes on to say: " So whosoever of you comes across this month let him fast the month." 55 00:09:06,06 --> 00:09:24,10 This is a subtle point as for thanksgiving for the revelation of the Quran, all must fast. 56 00:09:25,10 --> 00:09:28,00 " Let him fast the month" 57 00:09:28,11 --> 00:09:42,16 Then the relationship between fasting and the month: "Let him fast the month." This also has a detailed discussion. 58 00:09:42,19 --> 00:09:46,11 This is such a month. 59 00:09:46,16 --> 00:09:55,13 This chore( journeying for Tableegh) that has occurred for you, it is a blessing. 60 00:09:55,17 --> 00:10:06,05 Now luck has turned its face towards you that such a blessing presented itself to you. 61 00:10:06,08 --> 00:10:14,22 However, if you do justice to it. 62 00:10:15,00 --> 00:10:19,14 What sort of a journey is this? 63 00:10:19,17 --> 00:10:28,22 The journey that you undertake is a journey towards Allah. 64 00:10:29,00 --> 00:10:34,08 That too in the Month of Allah 65 00:10:34,12 --> 00:10:42,17 Journey towards Allah to invite others towards the path of Allah 66 00:10:42,18 --> 00:10:49,05 If you know the value of this blessing, 67 00:10:49,06 --> 00:10:58,10 and give this blessing its due you by thanking for it 68 00:10:58,13 --> 00:11:08,07 The people whom you are going for, who are these people? 69 00:11:08,10 --> 00:11:22,11 First you must know and recognize them. Pay special attention on the Quran. If you observe, 70 00:11:22,18 --> 00:11:32,14 when it speaks about orphans what is the diction of God? 71 00:11:32,18 --> 00:11:42,10 It speaks with such severity with the best and last of the prophets (pbuh) 72 00:11:42,11 --> 00:11:48,12 "Therefore, do not reproach and insult the orphan." 73 00:11:49,03 --> 00:11:58,22 This verse has all that needs to be said on this topic. 74 00:11:59,00 --> 00:12:07,00 This is why the Prophet( pbuh) understands what it is as he said: 75 00:12:07,03 --> 00:12:14,03 " The guardian of the orphan and myself are like these two." 76 00:12:14,05 --> 00:12:27,00 One who undertakes the guardianship of an orphan, he and myself are like these( a gesture towards the index finger and the middle finger). 77 00:12:27,03 --> 00:12:36,14 Guardianship of an orphan gets one alongside the Prophet(pbuh) 78 00:12:36,16 --> 00:12:54,05 Now if the guardianship of an orphan of a believer gets one alongside the Prophet( pbuh) 79 00:12:54,08 --> 00:13:01,06 what would the guardianship of the orphan of Ali ibne-abi-Talib(as) do? 80 00:13:01,07 --> 00:13:08,19 What would the guardianship of the orphan of Jafar as-Sadiq(as) entail? 81 00:13:08,21 --> 00:13:14,22 What would the guardianship of the orphan of Imam Reza(as) entail? 82 00:13:14,24 --> 00:13:21,19 What would the guardianship of the orphan of Seyyed us-Shuhada(as) entail? 83 00:13:21,24 --> 00:13:35,14 These people that you are travelling to their areas, they are the orphans of Ali ibne-abi-Talib(as). 84 00:13:35,22 --> 00:13:45,11 They are the orphans of Imam Hussain(as). They are the orphans of the fourteen infallibles. 85 00:13:45,17 --> 00:13:53,24 They are the orphans of Aal[the Children]-e-Muhammad(pbuh). 86 00:13:56,20 --> 00:13:59,11 So what is your responsibility then? 87 00:14:00,14 --> 00:14:10,00 Your responsibility is the spiritual guardianship of the orphans of Aal-e-Muhammad( pbuh). 88 00:14:10,07 --> 00:14:14,15 This is the prestige of this work 89 00:14:15,24 --> 00:14:27,10 That is why we cannot explain how important this work is in one sitting. 90 00:14:27,12 --> 00:14:37,03 However, one must first purify the intention 91 00:14:37,06 --> 00:14:44,06 You are all religious students, you are scholars (of religion) 92 00:14:44,09 --> 00:14:49,01 This Hadith( tradition) is authentic 93 00:14:49,03 --> 00:14:59,16 This is a tradition that enjoys such an authenticity of sanad (chain of transmitters) that 94 00:14:59,19 --> 00:15:13,05 a jurisprudent like Shiekh-e-Ansari in questions related to blood gives a fatwa on the basis of this hadith 95 00:15:13,07 --> 00:15:19,12 The gist of this authentic hadith is: 96 00:15:19,15 --> 00:15:31,17 No action has any value but that of the intention of the doer. 97 00:15:31,21 --> 00:15:39,15 It is the intention that changes an action 98 00:15:39,16 --> 00:15:45,00 Intention itself has a discussion attached to it 99 00:15:45,02 --> 00:15:52,13 Salaat ( Prayer) is the pillar of religion 100 00:15:52,14 --> 00:16:11,14 Salaat cannot occur without having intended its title. What does that mean? 101 00:16:11,17 --> 00:16:19,03 That is , it is the intention that makes the mid-day ( Zohr ) prayer , the mid-day prayer. 102 00:16:20,02 --> 00:16:25,02 The afternoon ( Asr ) prayer, the afternoon prayer. 103 00:16:25,15 --> 00:16:31,04 Intention is the Fasl-e-Muqawwim 104 00:16:31,08 --> 00:16:42,13 That is why if the prayer is recited ( without intention ) it has no value. 105 00:16:42,15 --> 00:16:49,21 This prayer should be entitled. Which prayer is it? 106 00:16:50,01 --> 00:16:58,16 Is it Zohr? Is it Asr? Is it Maghrib? Is it Isha? Or is it the morning prayer? 107 00:16:58,18 --> 00:17:06,02 Has it been recited within the specified time? Or after it has ended? Is it a Nafilah( recommended) prayer? Or is it a fardh( obligatory) prayer? 108 00:17:06,03 --> 00:17:12,05 Intention is what defines the prayer. 109 00:17:12,09 --> 00:17:22,04 It is the intention that specifies which prayer is being recited. 110 00:17:22,05 --> 00:17:25,08 If a jurisprudent… 111 00:17:25,12 --> 00:17:36,15 that too I have already said like Shaheed or Shiekh e Ansari. These understand the meaning that 112 00:17:36,20 --> 00:17:46,06 when the Imam (a.s) says : "( The value ) For every deed is its intention" 113 00:17:46,07 --> 00:17:58,16 He, from the discussion of intention in prayer, understands the real meaning of this tradition. 114 00:17:58,19 --> 00:18:05,23 The first thing that needs to be done is the intention. 115 00:18:06,01 --> 00:18:16,23 You can go on this journey with the intention of getting rid of exhaustion. Your reward will be the same. 116 00:18:17,02 --> 00:18:28,23 It is possible that you go with the intention of receiving a token payment that is given to you. Your value will be as much 117 00:18:29,02 --> 00:18:36,06 However, if you go on this journey with the intention of 118 00:18:36,09 --> 00:18:48,14 undertaking the guardianship of the orphans of Aal-e-Muhammad( pbuh) from the point of view of beliefs, 119 00:18:48,19 --> 00:18:59,05 of morals( akhlaq) and of laws( ahkaam), what will your reward be? 120 00:18:59,07 --> 00:19:02,20 Your reward will be this: 121 00:19:02,22 --> 00:19:22,14 100 years of prayers of Prophet Moses( a.s), that too from the night till morning 122 00:19:23,06 --> 00:19:27,04 Fasts of Prophet Moses (a.s). 123 00:19:27,14 --> 00:19:33,13 100 years of prayers and fasts of Prophet Moses (a.s) on one side 124 00:19:33,18 --> 00:19:46,12 If you guide an individual in those areas it is better than all of it. 125 00:19:46,16 --> 00:19:56,24 If you go with this intention, the reward is stupendous 126 00:19:57,00 --> 00:20:09,08 It is a pity that a lifetime passed and we could not utilize our lives. 127 00:20:09,11 --> 00:20:15,07 " How many trials are there and how few those who have learnt from these." 128 00:20:15,10 --> 00:20:19,13 This is enough as a lesson: 129 00:20:19,16 --> 00:20:33,08 We had a similar gathering last year as well, we are having one tonight as well. 130 00:20:33,14 --> 00:20:46,12 One year has passed that is one page from the book of our lives has been turned 131 00:20:46,16 --> 00:20:55,08 Finally this book has a maximum of 100 pages. 132 00:20:55,13 --> 00:21:07,09 One page having passed like this, others too shall pass in a similar fashion. 133 00:21:07,14 --> 00:21:15,15 This life passes like this: 134 00:21:15,18 --> 00:21:24,10 " The life of this world is but comfort of illusion." 135 00:21:24,13 --> 00:21:33,17 Indeed this is a miracle of the Quran. But who is there to understand? 136 00:21:33,20 --> 00:21:41,16 " The life of this world is but comfort of illusion." 137 00:21:42,01 --> 00:21:54,11 Seyyed us-Shuhada wrote a letter on the day of Ashura. 138 00:21:54,16 --> 00:22:04,19 That letter was written to Mohammad-e-Hanafiyya 139 00:22:05,10 --> 00:22:08,19 There are two sentences in this letter. 140 00:22:08,23 --> 00:22:18,07 And if God Wills I shall discuss about these two sentences some time. 141 00:22:18,12 --> 00:22:25,08 One of the sentences is this: "As if the world were not." 142 00:22:26,16 --> 00:22:33,16 What is your and my life? 143 00:22:34,24 --> 00:22:44,10 In reality my world from the beginning till end is as if it were not. 144 00:22:44,14 --> 00:22:54,07 This is the opinion of Seyyed us-Shuhada(a.s). Is there anybody who understands Seyyed us-Shuhada(a.s)? 145 00:22:54,11 --> 00:22:59,17 " As if this world were not." 146 00:22:59,22 --> 00:23:09,14 If somebody understands this life with this decadence 147 00:23:09,16 --> 00:23:18,14 Every moment, the threads of the rope of our lives are being cut. 148 00:23:18,16 --> 00:23:22,15 till we reach the final thread 149 00:23:22,19 --> 00:23:30,18 Tonight correct your intentions 150 00:23:30,19 --> 00:23:34,13 Go with this intention that 151 00:23:34,16 --> 00:23:57,09 you should safeguard the orphans of the infallible Ahl-e-Bayt(a.s) during the occultation of the Imam of the Times(a.s) from whims and doubts 152 00:23:57,19 --> 00:24:05,01 you should value every moment in that area. 153 00:24:05,04 --> 00:24:15,18 "And whoso brings one to life, it shall be as if he had brought to life all of mankind." 154 00:24:15,20 --> 00:24:22,12 Imam( a.s) while explaining this verse said: 155 00:24:22,15 --> 00:24:27,24 " Took him out of obliquity and loss towards guidance." 156 00:24:28,04 --> 00:24:34,01 Then the result of your endeavour is this: 157 00:24:34,05 --> 00:24:49,00 Someone who doesn't pray starts praying regularly. You have brought him to life. 158 00:24:49,05 --> 00:24:56,12 " And whoso brings one to life, it shall be as if he had brought to life all of mankind." 159 00:24:56,18 --> 00:25:06,22 One person who is a stranger to the Imam of his times(a.s) 160 00:25:07,00 --> 00:25:13,12 if you introduce him to the Imam of his times (a.s) you have brought him to life, 161 00:25:13,16 --> 00:25:18,02 "… it shall be as if he had brought to life all of mankind." 162 00:25:18,05 --> 00:25:26,13 You should value every moment of your stay there. 163 00:25:26,15 --> 00:25:35,14 Do not spend your time only on the pulpit 164 00:25:35,18 --> 00:25:45,23 Travel during the day. Look as to who is distressed, who is sick. Cure and remedy him. 165 00:25:46,01 --> 00:26:01,19 The important thing is that when each one of you returns they should be examples of this tradition: 166 00:26:01,21 --> 00:26:09,24 " He who spends a year well will have reward from his actions in it." 167 00:26:10,03 --> 00:26:20,03 Gather capable people around you. Find out the teachers. 168 00:26:20,05 --> 00:26:25,12 Teach these people. 169 00:26:25,16 --> 00:26:34,10 These people should change the students of their schools. 170 00:26:34,14 --> 00:26:43,03 This is the work. These activities should definitely take place. 171 00:26:43,06 --> 00:26:56,19 And if you do not do so the regret of not performing these makes one wretched. 172 00:26:56,22 --> 00:27:06,14 "And warn them of the Day of Anguish when the case has been decided." 173 00:27:06,16 --> 00:27:20,24 It was possible for me to familiarize a woman in that area with the problems of females. But I did not do so. 174 00:27:21,03 --> 00:27:34,06 If she was familiarized with these problems she would have prayed correctly for a lifetime. I didn’t familiarize her. 175 00:27:34,09 --> 00:27:43,21 Her prayers were invalid.

Without doubt the Month of Allah has turned its face towards you with benediction, mercy and forgiveness." 257 00:39:51,04 --> 00:40:02,24 the Month will end, mercy too as well as forgiveness shall end.

(Imam Ali[a.s]) said: 265 00:41:08,13 --> 00:41:14,12 " O Prophet( pbuh)! Why do you cry so? The Prophet( pbuh) said: 266 00:41:14,14 --> 00:41:19,17 I weep for your cloven head. 267 00:41:19,20 --> 00:41:38,19 This is surprising. The Prophet( pbuh) like the spring cloud was weeping. Ali(a.s) replied: 268 00:41:38,22 --> 00:41:53,10 " O Prophet( pbuh)! Would my religion be safe when this happens?" 269 00:41:53,15 --> 00:41:57,23 In which world does he live? 270 00:41:58,02 --> 00:42:07,12 The Prophet( pbuh) said: " O Ali!

Say: "Be," for Thy dearest representative, Al-Hujjat ibn Al-Hassan(a.s), Thy blessings be on him(a.s) and on his forefathers(a.s), now and at all times so that he comes back as a friend, guardian, leader, helper, guide, and model to spread harmo
