00:02:49.140unity is important right now let's focus on the major issue and the shias are the ones that are
00:02:54.500fighting back against epsi regime right now that's important a brother on the issue of unity i've
00:03:00.560made this point once before sayyid ali sistani he says don't look at sindis as your brothers
00:03:07.440so don't look at them as your brothers look at them as in fosikum your own nafs that's supposed
00:03:12.940to be the closeness we're supposed to share with our brothers look at them as your own nafs your
00:03:17.760own your oneness your one unity don't know he's not your brother he's your own soul he's your own
00:03:23.000spirit and that's the position that the shia the standard shias hold forget that put the part
00:03:28.520sayed hassan who was also assassinated what was his position on sunnis he never spoke in sectarian
00:03:34.740language never he never said we shias do this we shias do that the only time he used sectarian
00:03:41.220language was when? In support of Sunnis. Because back when the Syrian war started, Hamas, who was
00:03:47.980trained by Hezbollah, who was armed by Hezbollah to some extent, unfortunately back then, because
00:03:52.940of the fitna that was going on in Syria, Hamas turned against the Hizb. So when Hamas turned
00:03:58.840the Hizb in support of the other factions in Syria that were fighting Bashar al-Assad, the
00:04:03.940Shias in Lebanon felt betrayed by Hamas. So they started showing some anger towards their
00:04:09.640sinni brothers and sisters in lebanon and towards palestinians that was the only time said hassan
00:04:14.760came out and said we shias will never leave the palestinian cause we shias of ali ibn abu talib
00:04:22.160we will never leave this cause so the only time he referred to him as a shia was in support of
00:04:27.920the sinnis it takes wisdom brother it takes foresight it takes insight it's easy to be
00:04:35.040as sectarian it's easy to uh pump up your chest and show hatred towards others which is what
00:04:40.160julani did julani said why these shias are busy bumping their chest he has a speech like that
00:04:45.280why do you see us crying and more it's easy to use that sectarian language but it takes maturity
00:04:50.640it takes love it takes wisdom to understand unity is what my brother i'm forgive me i'm rambling
00:04:58.400you're not rambling this is great to hear i think you gave great information i don't want you to
00:05:02.080to think that you're rambling this is this is good to hear i'm gonna share one story and then i'm
00:05:05.920gonna stop talking imam ali you know she has referred to imam ali in khyber refer to him ali
00:05:17.120brother you know what the greatest accomplishment of imam ali's feet of strength was his patience
00:05:24.960in preserving unity she has we make the claim that imam ali should have been the caliph after
00:05:32.800the prophet am i not right right did he stand up and start causing fitna and fighting and this and
00:05:40.480that it was the opposite even though we believe he believed that he was the rightful caliph in
00:05:47.040support of unity he supported off man because and he would even say wow your
00:05:54.640habibu you know what i mean what i mean what is muawiyah oh molly would be the
00:06:13.160caliph during he was the leader of syria at the time that imam ali was the fourth caliph so he
00:06:21.080believed he had the right to be the caliph imam ali was the caliph so they have the battle of
00:06:26.120safeen and so mu'awiyah is revered by our sydney brothers to some you know by not all but by the
00:06:33.320majority of our sydney brothers but it was a time they say of fitna and a b c d and so even though
00:06:39.160he was a rival of imam ali even though they had battles against each other imam ali still if the
00:06:45.160romans attack i i team up with him you see what i'm saying right anyways that's it let me can
00:06:52.920i'm gonna grab something do you mind if i have a second one i don't know where you're from but you
00:06:56.520have very lebanese energy you like remind me i went to dahi i went to beirut you when was that
00:07:04.200I went in 2024. I even went to a Shia compound where there were, apparently there were a lot of, I don't want to say, I don't want to get put on a list, but, you know, there's, you understand there are resistance fighters in that area, in Dahi, a lot of Shia.
00:07:17.480Yeah, in the Dahi, south of Beirut. I'm from Lebanon.
00:07:21.960And, yeah, no, I'm from Lebanon. We'll leave it at that. But, yeah, that's where I'm from. But I was raised out here. I've been here since I was five years old.
00:10:39.100But anyway, we have, we're passionate, and because we've always kind of, we've always been a minority class, and it's just a deep part of our Aqida, this idea of rebellion, this idea of revolution, this idea of anti-establishment, that's where we've always existed since the beginning of time.
00:10:57.920and so that just carries forward in our consciousness in our deep psychology regardless
00:11:04.440even if you're religious or not just being raised in that culture yeah you're always gonna like
00:11:09.020you're gonna carry that energy with you because that's just kind of what you're raised on you
00:11:12.820know that's just the reality of the culture that you come from and she has that's the background
00:11:17.500we're always on oppressed class you read the du'as a lot of our du'as are fight the tyrant
00:11:23.500fight the oppressor fight the kings help the fugitive help the captives like there was uh
00:11:31.020you know i'll take my friend he's a speaker and he made a great point shout out sheikh well and
00:11:37.180some other brothers were saying guys we don't need to be political we don't need to be involving
00:11:41.340people are going to looking at us sensitively he's like okay then draw if the dog is a du'a
00:11:46.140we read every single night during shah raboban right and he's like but there's multiple lines
00:11:52.060in dua iftitah where we're asking for an honored state where we're asking for for god to help us
00:11:59.180remove the tyrants and the oppressors and the kings where god is supporting these are
00:12:03.660duas are political so we have to remove the political parts of the dua out we have to move
00:12:09.100the political part of the quran out politics is a part of our faith so he's making the point we can't
00:12:16.300remove those parts of the dip of the prayers because politics is a part of our faith because
00:12:21.580there's a reality to it you get what he's trying to say here i am no i don't understand okay let
00:12:30.200me let me he was making the point he was making the point that the congregation was saying we
00:12:35.480shouldn't be political because it brings negative attention okay but in the prayers we recite there's
00:12:41.520political aspects to them where the prayer will say we have to remove tyrants he's like okay so
00:12:47.880Are you guys suggesting we remove that part of the prayer?
00:13:13.680It's more about, you know, as Muslims, we just do what's right.
00:13:16.140And it's often fighting against tyrannical oppression is important because when people try to control us in this earth and be gods on earth, we're supposed to fight back against this.
00:13:25.560This is what Sahaba, this is what the companions all did.
