- Importance of reminding ourselves of the mission of Imam Hussain (a.s).
- In a will to his brother, Muhammad Hanafia, Imam Hussain (a.s) explains the purpose of his actions in 4 points:
-- He negates wrong motives towards himself knowing that people would try to portray him as having ulterior motives.
-- He then expresses what his purpose is, to seek reformation in the community of his grandfather.
-- He explains the method of the Islamic law that he is using: bidding people to do good and forbidding them from evil.
-- And lastly he confirms that what he is doing is continuing the path of his grand father and his father.
- Reform should be an ongoing process at an individual and collective level.
- Examples of reformation on a personal level: focusing on improving our prayers, reflections of our fasts, giving charity, reflection on our means of livelihood etc..
- Examples of reformation on a social level by taking lessons from Karbala: brotherhood and unity of fellow Muslims in spite of the diversity in race, colour, language and ethnic background, outlook towards Muslim community on a global level, outlook towards non-Muslim etc..
- Importance of responding to Imam Hussain’s(a.s) call by submitting our heart, ears, mind, eyes, opinions and desires to him.
- When our heart is longing for something that is not permissible then make the choice that Imam Hussain(a.s)would make.
- We are surrounded by different circles around us.
- Inner circle are the Shias of the Ahlulbayt.
- Bigger circle around it, is the Muslim community.
- Outer bigger circle is the humanity at large.
- 3 Alif to keep in mind when interacting which each circle of groups:
-- Ithaar which means to sacrifice. For the inner circle the expectation is to have willingness to sacrifice for one another.
-- Infaaq which means to be charitable. This needs to be applied towards the Muslim community at large.
-- Insaaf which means to be just. The minimum requirement towards the humanity at large is to be just towards them. That doesn’t mean you don’t need to be charitable towards them either.
- Ilm-ul Ghayb (knowledge of the unseen) is only given to the chosen ones by the grace of Allah.(s.w.t).
- Narration of the story of the thirst of Hur and his army to show that Imam Hussain(a.s) had ilm-e ghayb.
- Imam Hussain(a.s) did not ask Hur if he had come as a supporter or an enemy. He saw they were thirsty and he quenched their thirst. That’s called humanity. Yet he was denied water in Karbala.
- He used his ilm-e ghayb in order to guide others but he would never use it for his own benefit. That was his test and trial. He knew water would be stopped yet he did not fill extra water for his own self.
- He personally used less water then others. On the day of Ashura, the most thirsty person was Imam Hussain (a.s).
- We need to reflect and see how we treat one another.
- Importance for volunteers to realize that those who come for the commemoration are the guests of Imam Hussain(a.s) and the volunteer is the host on behalf of Imam Hussain(a.s). So they should treat the guests well.
- It’s the kindness that Imam Hussain (a.s) showed towards them, that eventually brought back Hur to Imam’s camp and he then attained martyrdom.

Program 6- The Existence of Superheroes in our Society:
-Have Spiderman, Superman and Barbie become the super heroes and the idol for our children?
-Psychologically how are we supposed to work on our children to change this perception? Do we have any better replacement?
-What if being Muslims we define our Prophets as Superheroes than following baseless Western Characters?

How easily do we discard or write-off other believers just because they don\\\'t quite have the same worldview or religious commitment as of ours. For those who consider themselves to be strong in their beliefs and Islamic foundations, they must engage with those who seemingly have weaker faith. After all, they belong to us; they are our youth; they are part of our society. Don\\\'t rush into labeling others just because some of their deficiencies are obvious. Embrace others and help them grow. A lesson from our beloved martyr Qasem Soleimani.

Oxygen, our source of life - English

Oxygen The miraculous life source bestowed by Allah ...The invisible and imperceptible elixir of life we breathe into our lungs at every moment....We use this blessing from Allah every moment, every second. Moreover, this is not something we can ever buy or borrow from someone we know.But there is no reason to go far to find it. It is there ready for us, every moment, everywhere we go. Oxygen is bestowed on us as a blessing every single moment, as we sleep, work or talk. And we pay no price for it. But could we survive for long without it? Maybe two or three minutes, at most... Someone deprived of oxygen will first lose consciousness; brain death then begins within five minutes. After that, all the body's systems come to a stop, just like a machine disconnected from the mains, and death ensues. Everyone is careful to thank people who do nice things for them. But how often do you give thanks to our Creator, Allah, He Who gave you life

There exist some so-called \'peace-loving\', westoxified, simple-minded Muslims who argue: why can\'t you just resolve things with the enemies and come to terms on issues?
They need to understand our logic. Our struggle against the oppressors is based on logic, common sense, principles and teachings of Islam.

The Islamic Unity does not call for diluting your identity and agreeing on anything and everything. The Islamic Unity simply means to unite on commonalities while maintaining our identities. The Islamic Unity neither calls for a compromise in our respective belief systems nor does it call for jurisprudential conformity between different Islamic schools of thought.
We believe that Shia & Sunni can stay united while maintaining their respective identities and work together to form and establish the desired Islamic Civilization.
Martyr Sayyid Arif Husayn Al-Husayni (R) worked tirelessly to bring about religious tolerance and Islamic Unity in Pakistan.
