[0:00]there is a great punishment, there's a great flood that is coming and it's coming in this time. That is exactly where we are right now in the story of Noah's Ark. mere hours or days away from a full flood pouring on the face of the earth. It's not a flood of water. It is a flood of blood.
[0:48]I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan In the Name of Allah, the Abundantly Merciful, the Intensely Merciful. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, my dear brother, Ian. Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, Abu Sadiq. Thank you for joining me here today. Thank you Abu Sadiq for having me. So, uh today we want to have a conversation, uh in which we will discuss uh the matter of this call, uh the Dawa of the Qa'im, the Dawa of Imam al-Mahdi (AS). and uh what the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) have said in regards to it. Okay. So, first off, there is this narration from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) in which he says that uh the example of my Ahl al-Bayt, the example of my family, the example of the people of the house. Okay. And now this this term Ahl al-Bayt, the people of the house, it's very important to distinguish uh for our viewers where this term comes from and who it is that it is referring to exactly. Okay? And uh in the Qur'an there's a verse from the Qur'an in Surah al-Ahzab, 33, Verse 33, in which um the verse says: 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim', verily Allah wishes to remove all impurities from you, oh people of the house and to purify you entirely, thoroughly, okay? So, when this verse came down from Allah (SWT), it essentially stated that there was a group of people, which are the Ahl al-Bayt, the people of the house, right? whom God had purified entirely, thoroughly, okay? And that's a very important matter. And so, uh Sunnis and Shia, uh the sects of Muslims, right? The the two major sects, in fact, all sects of Muslims have came up with their own interpretation, but for the purposes of this episode, we're going to discuss how the different sects of Islam, mainly Sunni and Shia, have taken uh the the this verse to mean, like, who do they think the verse is referring to? For the Sunnis, uh they believe that it is referring to is a it's a general reference to all of the family members of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF). So, it would refer to um obviously himself, uh it would refer to his daughter Fatimah al-Zahra (AS), but it would also refer to his wives, okay? Uh they were considered to be the people that are in the house of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF). The Shia, however, um they strongly deny that and they do not believe that it is referring to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF), and they believe that another tradition or narration, which they have that is one of the most important narrations in all of Shia Islam, that is the tradition of the cloak, clarifies who it is that this verse is referring to, okay? And uh the narration basically states that one day the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was not feeling so well. And so, um he was at home, he was feeling ill. Uh Fatimah al-Zahra, his daughter, uh was there. Uh he basically asks her to bring to him a Yemeni cloak that he has, right? And she fetches this cloak and she places it on top of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF). And then uh she asks permission that she also can get under the cloak with the prophet and the prophet allows her and grants her permission to do so. And then Imam Ali (AS) he comes and he also wishes to be under the cloak and be beside the Prophet during this time where he's not feeling well. And then al-Hassan and al-Husayn (AS) they also come forward and they wish and they ask permission from the Prophet that they too be under the cloak with him during this time that he's not feeling well. And so, here you have this scene where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) uh is there and he's under this cloak, he's wrapped with his Yemeni cloak. And I think the word Yemeni also is very important because there's a tie between the character of the Yemeni who comes in the end times, which is the times that we're in today and between this Yemeni cloak. But we'll leave that for another episode. And so, you have this scene where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) is not feeling good and he's there with his most beloved ones, right? And so, it's Ali, Fatimah, al-Hassan, al-Husayn and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) all together. And then the narration states that the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, one of the wives of the Prophet had asked permission also to enter into the cloak, under the cloak and permission was denied for her. And then finally, Gabriel descends down, um and he asks permission for the Prophet Muhammad that he also may be under the cloak with them and the Prophet grants Gabriel permission.
[6:33]And so, you have there uh clearly identified who the people of the cloak are and those are the the five which are referred to as the Ahl al-Kisa or the people of the cloak in the uh in the Shia narrations, in addition to Gabriel. And then Gabriel informs the Prophet Muhammad at that moment that his Lord sends peace and prayers and blessings upon him and that his Lord, meaning Allah (SWT) uh, you know, has brought down this verse in honor of them and the verse was that verse from Surah al-Ahzab, Verse 33: Verily Allah wishes to purify you, O people of the house, uh, you know, and cleanse you a thorough cleansing or a thorough purification. And uh, um, it is believed that the that this was the moment in which Allah (SWT) had clarified for the Muslims that it is not just Muhammad (PBUH&HF) whose infallible, right? And that cannot do anything wrong because all that that was impure, all the impurity was taken away from uh him and also the uh the people of the house that are with him, meaning Fatimah and Ali, and al-Hassan and al-Husayn (AS). And uh they believe that uh, you know, for that reason those Imams are the rightful successors after the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF). And the Shia, they also add to the term Ahl al-Bayt, uh the nine Imams that come from the descendants of al-Husayn (AS). All right? And uh so the term the people of the cloak uh is interchangeable with the term people of the house, right? The Ahl al-Bayt is the same thing as the Ahl al-Kisa and they're pure from anything that is impure, they're cleansed of the devil and of the whispers of the devil and they are the Ahl al-Bayt. Now, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) he made a statement, which is very much present in Sunni sources and also present in Shia sources and it's considered to be, like I said earlier, one of the most important narrations in all of Shia Islam. And the narration states: the example of my Ahl al-Bayt, which we have now clarified who are the Ahl al-Bayt, is like that of Noah's Ark. Whoever rides it is saved and whoever abandons it drowns, okay? So, that was one narration in the midst of many other narrations in which he says that al-Husayn is from him and he is from al-Husayn or that, you know, I am asking you to hold on to the Qur'an and my Ahl al-Bayt and my people of the house. They are like this until they return to me at the pond or that they will always remain together until the day of judgment, et cetera.
[9:50]And so, now we have the example of Noah's Ark in its time and we have we have a modern-day Noah's Ark for this day and age and also for all ages really. And the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) he stands in this new example or parable of Noah's Ark in the place of Noah. And so, the Prophet Muhammad he came, he had a message, he was an Ulul Azm prophet, just like Noah was, he brought down the Qur'an, just like Noah brought down a book in his time. And the Prophet Muhammad warned the people. In Noah's time, Noah instructed the people that there was a storm coming, there was a great punishment that was coming down on humanity and that people had to enter into the ark before it was too late. And the same thing happens here where you have the Prophet Muhammad warning in many narrations that there will be this punishment of the end times, right? And he spoke a lot about the trials and tribulations which would fall befall mankind. He spoke about the Antichrist, he spoke about the Sufyani. He spoke about many signs of suffering, much like those that were mentioned in the Book of Revelation and in other places in the Torah and in the Gospels. The Prophet warned of that and he also instructed the Muslim nation and all those who believed in him to enter upon his Ark and his Ark are it's a symbolic ark, however, and that is the ark which is the people of the house that we have to hold on to them, that we have to be inside of their Wilayah, under their guardianship, right? uh under their umbrella just like the people in the time of Noah were under the umbrella and the protection of Noah's Ark. And so, that's that's really really important. And it is it was important for those people in the time of Imam Ali (AS) uh to take Imam Ali as Noah's Ark.
[12:05]And it was important for all the people that lived in the times of the Imams, from Imam al-Hassan all the way down to Imam al-Hassan al-Askari (AS) to enter upon the Ark of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) or else they would they would be destroyed, right? Essentially, they would be drowned and that goes very much alongside with the narration that says: Whoever doesn't recognize the Imam of the time has died a death of ignorance or hypocrisy, right? Or the the uh the death of Jahiliyyah. But there are other narrations that hone in on and they specify um and speak more about the parallel between Noah's time and Noah's Ark and between the time of the Qa'im or the Mahdi and his Dawa especially, yeah?
[13:04]And so there's an emphasis placed on this this this Ark of the Prophet Muhammad or Noah's Ark uh that exists in that time especially. And so, one narration states that in the Dawa of the Qa'im, there is a Sunnah of Adam, there's a Sunnah of Noah, and there's a Sunnah of Job, and there's a Sunnah of Jonah, and there's a Sunnah of Jesus and there's a Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH&HF).
[13:48]So, when it spoke about the Sunnah from Noah, Noah's time that exist in the time of the Qa'im, it said that it is the length of the matter, the longness of the matter. And so, other narrations clarify and certainly Imam Ahmad al-Hassan (AS) also did, and that is that there would be a there would be a long wait in regards to the Dawa of the Qa'im or the Mahdi, that it doesn't happen that the character of the Qa'im, the riser, appears and then the next day there is a rise, but rather he has a Dawa or call and he's calling people towards the ark, much like Noah did. Noah, he called towards the Ark for 950 years. The same thing happens in the time of the Qa'im, except that it's not 950 years, but he's calling for a very long time the people to come help him and to board the Ark. Um he faces kind of the same struggles that the that that Noah did in his time of people mocking and belying and this matter. So, we know that uh the Dawa is long. Another narration explains why the Dawa is long. Um and stresses uh on that. And it gives us a story about what happened in the time of Noah that caused it to be so long. And it states in this narration that that is the same reason why the Dawa of the Qa'im uh is is is elongated or prolonged um before the relief happens. And so, basically the narration states that in the time of Noah, Noah had a call and he was calling the people towards uh God and the worship of of Allah (SWT). And uh many people initially responded to his call and he warned them and promised them that a punishment would come down. And naturally, the people asked him when is the punishment going to come down? And then Gabriel came down upon him and Gabriel gave Noah a a date tree, a palm tree seed, right? And he told him to plant this seed and that when and to tell his people to plant this seed and that when the seed became a tree that that is when the relief would happen and that's when the flood would take place.
[26:08]And so, this same thing took place and repeated itself 10 times, right?
[26:17]10 times they would be told that the punishment would happen. 10 times they were told that they have to take the seed from the fruit of the tree, planted into the ground, wait until it becomes a full-grown tree and 10 times the believers would be broken down into um, you know, three groups. A group of disbelievers, a group of doubters and a group of believers. Each time that the promise was delayed, Noah's camp would become fewer and fewer.
[26:50]Until in the very end, according to some narrations, there was seventy-some companions that ended up riding on the ark. Other narrations stated that there was only Noah and his family, basically, uh his uh his children and their wives that got onto the ark. That those were the only ones that remained. Noah and his wife and also his three sons and their wives for a total of eight individuals and that's the narrative that also matches um that which is given to us in the in the Torah, uh the uh the narrative in Genesis. And so, uh, you know, that story itself, um, it reminds us of a narration from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) that states that if you if we say something about a person and it's not in him, but rather it's in his son or his son's son, then don't deny it. And that is a reference to this story from the time of Noah because God had said something about the seed of that tree that once it was planted and it became a full tree, then the punishment would happen. And yet, it was delayed and it wasn't in that tree, but rather it was in that tree's seed, rather it was in its seeds, seeds, seeds, right? And so, they didn't have the right to uh deny uh that fact. And then uh the wisdom was given in the in the very end of the narration, uh and it was it was said that as such will be done in the time of the Qa'im.
[28:30]That the believers with the Qa'im, um would be sifted and they would be tested and they would be tried and be given great tribulations, all right? In order that all those who entered into the call or the Dawa of the Qa'im, uh whose whose names were not written in the Book of Life, and those whose clay was impure, and those who uh we would be afraid that if they entered into the divine just state that they would take advantage of it and corrupt it, like every other corrupt government that's on the face of the earth right now, until all of those ones apostate and are sifted and fall through the sifting and go away in disbelief, um then the relief would happen. And so, uh now we have a reason why the Dawa of the Qa'im takes a long time and that's to kind of um until the dust settles until all of the worms and the impurities fall through the sifting and there only remains at the end of the day the true grain or the true wheat or the true rice, the purest of substances, uh remain at the end of the day. And we have Imam Ahmad al-Hassan (AS) who also said that uh, you know, it's out of mercy for mankind that the matter is delayed. And he says that uh, you know, after 950 years in one of his speeches he says after 950 years Noah called down for the punishment upon his people, uh but if he had to wait even 1000 years, he would not call down uh the punishment upon his people. And that just goes to show you uh a few things.
[30:19]One is that is that is that uh the transgression that occurs in the time of the Qa'im and the time of the Yamani and the Mahdi is much greater than than the transgression that occurred uh in the time of Noah and that people would disbelieve much quicker in the time of the Qa'im than they would uh in the time of Noah and that God will bring down that punishment upon them because he'll be angrier with the people in the time of the Qa'im than he would then he was even in the time of uh of Noah because the people are much much worse. And also shows you that the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are better than Ahmad al-Hassan (AS) is better than higher than um, you know, the Prophet Noah (AS) and he is al-Husayn. And that goes along with the narration from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) says that the scholars of my nation are better than the prophets of the Banu Isra'il. And obviously in another narration, he clarifies what is the meaning of scholars and the meaning of scholars are the Imams who are appointed, the infallible ones who are appointed from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), but not like the general scholars. We have some of the Shia, unfortunately, they think that this means that Sistani or Khamenei or any one of these scholars that wears a turban is better than the prophets of the Israelites or all the prophets that came before, but we know that this is specifically talking about the people of the house, uh the successors of the Prophet Muhammad.
[31:59]And we know this because other narrations besides those who even identify them as being the scholars, because they say we are the scholars. There are narrations that state that on the Day of Judgment that the judgment of the Prophets and the Messengers and all of creation, really, is dedicated to the Imams from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and that they're the ones whom judge the Prophets and the Messengers on the Day of Judgment, and that each Imam also judges his nation, that God gives them this authority on the Day of Judgment, and that's why it's important to know the Imam of your time because you are resurrected with the Imam and it is that Imam who will who will take his sheep and his flock and cause them to enter into Paradise, while condemning all those that lived in his time that abandoned his call. And so, uh we now get a clear picture of what the mission is and what's going on right now and what is the purpose of that which we are doing. And we get to answer a question or a comment that resurfaces from time to time on the channel, uh whereby people say, what is this Mahdi doing, what is this Qa'im doing, uh is he just sitting around making YouTube videos? Why is he not uh solving the situation in Palestine or or doing anything other than that? Um we are doing exactly uh what we are supposed to be doing. We are doing that which Noah and Jesus and Moses and the Prophets and the Messengers and Muhammad (PBUH&HF) were commanded to do and that is to make azan in the people. We are in the process right now of warning mankind that there is a great punishment, there's a great flood that is coming and it's coming in this time. And the narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) they clarify that not only is there an ark in the time of the Qa'im, but there's also a punishment which comes down in the time of the Qa'im. And the Prophet and his and his family have spoken about it in great detail. Uh there is a flood that's coming. The narration state though that it's not a flood of water, uh because God had promised that he would never destroy the earth again with a flood of water, but rather it is a flood of blood. There will be killing, there will be war, there will be hunger, there will be plagues that will strike the earth and that is exactly where we are right now in the story of Noah's Ark. Uh we are uh at the hour where the believers went out of their homes because they heard some drops hitting the tops of their houses and they put their hand outside and they felt raindrops falling on their hand.
[35:03]uh mere hours or days away from a full flood pouring on the face of the Earth. So, uh we are very close to uh that time period and and we have been calling ever since 2000 and 15 till today. That is nine years we have been calling informing people that Imam al-Mahdi (AS) has reappeared and that he is with us and we've been calling people towards the ark which we are building and that is what we are doing right now, calling the people to the ark and building the ark. And the ark is the divine community of believers, the Dawa in which the people must believe in and not abandon or else they will be destroyed. We are awaiting as we are making azan and calling people, knowing that there are people out there for every 1000 people that mocks us just as they mocked Noah, there will be one believer, true believer who will come out of the wilderness and join us and and take part in the building of the Ark.
[36:28]And after that, there's the 10,000 that join after that whom are called the Halqa or the circle. And eventually, it will lead to 124,000 prophets and messengers that returned that ended up joining with them, according to the Book of Revelation, there are 144,000 that end up joining the camp of the Qa'im and the return of Jesus, peace be upon them. Right. And so, uh we're calling people towards towards that and we're waiting on these um individuals to to show up. And uh the Dawa faces uh a lot of mockery and the people that are with Noah of the time, uh the Qa'im and the Yamani, Imam al-Mahdi (AS), they have to be prepared to face that type of suffering uh from the people. Uh the narration stated that Noah and his people were attacked even violently at times and we see that taking place now with our followers being attacked and imprisoned in all corners of the earth. Uh we've had uh articles and and uh, you know, newspapers and and human rights organizations which have all, uh, you know, shown light on this fact that and this struggle that we are facing, but none of this uh should discourage us.
[38:41]In fact, it was all things that were promised uh to happen uh from before and the narration spoke about it and they also spoke about the fact that Noah in his time, uh there were incidents and times where he was hit over the back of the head and he remained in a coma-like state for three days uh with blood coming out of his ears, uh laying down fainted on the on the ground before he regains uh his consciousness uh due to the oppression uh that came from the disbelievers. And so we have to uh be prepared to face that type of tyranny and oppression. But at the end of the day, we know that just like what happened in the time of Noah, that the flood will come. As such, the flood will come in this day and age and we also know that it will not be until that final hour. Um where it is clear that a storm is coming and that a flood is coming that you will find animals coming out of the wilderness, you will find giraffes and lions and bears and zebras and tigers and chameleons and snakes and all the different types of species on the face of the earth, they will come forward, they will board onto Noah's Ark. And they themselves are a certain group of characters that we have to draw parallels for in our story. And so, what do we have now as we're building the Ark? We are calling forward as Noah called forth and we know that people will come and they will help us build the Ark just as they came forward and helped Noah build his Ark. So, we will have human beings that will come forward now before there's the sign of the imminent punishment that overshadows the skies. All those who join us in this day and age and help us and grant all of their resources and their efforts and their time to spread this call and to help build it, those their example is the example of the companions of Noah. They are the companions of the Qa'im, they are the 313 and the 50 and the chosen ones and the 10,000, and they are the ones whom will be rulers over the earth in the divine just state. Given that they are not from those whose clay is evil and that end up apostating and and leaving at some point when a tribulation or a trial happens.
[41:18]And we also know that the example of the animals will also be present in this call. And it will be at that final hour when the storm appears that all those people who are ignoring the call now, just as the animals ignored the call of Noah in his time, people that are the likes of animals, people that didn't have faith and didn't have ears to hear our call, or eyes to see the truth of our call, or brains that had the wisdom to digest. People that have come across us and heard what what it is that we are claiming and what it is that we are saying and our warnings about the state of the affairs of the world today and the fact that God is about ready to bring a punishment down on the earth, when the punishment happens, when the economy collapses, when wars are surrounding them and rumors of wars and famines and destruction and chaos, when they have nowhere else to turn, they will remember that they heard us warning on this channel, on this show and they will seek us out and they will come to us because they will know that we are the only people that have been preparing for it. And they will seek and ask for a place on our ark to come be believers and to join us and and we will open the doors to the ark to them. Just like Noah did for the animals in that time. And this Dawa, uh that will be the one of the greatest miracles that will occur in this call, and that is when the people in the midst of all of the destruction and chaos will will come into this Dawa in great um in great numbers. Uh just like in the verse of the Holy Qur'an in the Surah, Surah al-Nasr: Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, if the if the victory of God and the great opening occurs, right? What happens? And the people enter into the religion of Allah in great numbers. This will occur also in our Dawa. In the time right before the punishment takes place. You will find the likeness of the tigers and the lions and the bears and the antelopes and all these different creatures entering and boarding onto our ark.
