That we as human race
have denied knowledge to come, hence we are suffering in our ignorance today.
It's in our hand. You might say why didn't Allah do it? Allah says I have done enough.
How much are you gonna stand up? Every time people used to come to our Imams and say "look at this wretched king."
Imam says where are you? "Well you're the Imam!", Imam says why should I stand up?
Where are you people? You claim to be followers? Where are you?
Stand up and rise and see if you got the guts to be
representatives as you are supposed to be - many of us would run away!
Muslim bin Aqeel is a great example - that the entire Kufa supports Muslim bin Aqeel when Imam Husayn (a) writes a letter.
and this one wretched man - Ibn Ziyad walks in -
because he has been suggested by Sarjoun, a Christian representative
to tell Mu'awiya and Yazid that anytime you have a problem anywhere,
send Ibn Ziyad because he is the son of Marjana, one who is an illegitimate child who is a wretched butcher, like his father.
That he enters with a few soldiers. All you have to do is knock him out but everybody's scared!
That Muslim Ibn Aqeel is leading prayers - by the time he finishes prayers the people have left him?
We call this Iman (faith)? The true lovers of Ahlul Bayt are a few brothers and sisters.
We hope we are one of them - and let's not shortchange ourselves.
We can be with them! It's up to us! It hasn't been decreed that [there should only be] "a few".
It hasn't been decreed. It's our own decree that we have made ourselves - majority against it.
Or we've made ourselves apathetic to our true deen (religion).
It's because of our own deeds. Hence when the Imam calls us, do you think we will join him?
It's very difficult! When Muslim Ibn Aqeel says stand up!
This man is nothing! He's a coward! Ibn Ziyad hid himself inside the palace - he is a coward! He means nothing!
His fortress had not come yet! His fortification of armies had not arrived yet!
Yazid had sent him on a fact-finding mission! They could have knocked him out!
Muslim Ibn Aqeel is praying by the time he finishes everybody is gone!
