You're bickering over whether you should cross your arms or fold them, whilst the enemy is devising ways of cutting them off - khomenie

Ali Shariati was one of the Mujadids that was an Iranian and came to the Iranian people. He fought both the tyrant Monarchy and the false clergy to reveal true Islam to the people. His speech are filled with tawhid and strength to the people! Barakallah feek brother great work!

As someone who was read many of the works of Ali Shariati, I would say that his thought was more in line with Dr. Mosadegh than khomeini. Shariatis vision for an islamic government was a government without the domination of the clergy. Shariati was even criticized by shia scholars for having unorthodox views which were more closer to the Sunni view.

You are providing timely, vitally important information. God bless you. 🙏

May Allah have mercy on Dr. Shariati and more recently Shaykh Nasrallah. May He (Subhana wa ta’ala) award them with Jannat ul-Firdaus, for they gave their lives in the His cause as asli Tashya’ Ahmar. Ameen. Even if I am Sunni, I see what my brothers have done as a great service to the Ummat.

15:10 the thing about west is that the mission here is different. People here have a problem with spirituality and finding a meaning. People convert to Islam here and It spreads fast Al Hamdullilah. And Almighty Allah is the best of the planers.

Shia islam had women being educated in al azar in egypt almost 1000yrs ago. Very good

Thank you for the insightful and informative video. However, I believe that the role of Ayatollah Khomeini may have been somewhat overshadowed in favor of Dr. Ali Shariati's contributions. While Dr. Shariati's intellectual influence is undeniably significant, the unique leadership and ideological impact of Khomeini should not be understated. A more balanced perspective that acknowledges the distinct efforts and contributions of both figures would provide a more comprehensive understanding of their roles in shaping historical events. Also, I would appreciate it if you could share your name and a brief bio for context, as I am new to this channel. Thank you.

Enlightened, thanx!

Btw when Shah Ismail got defeated in Chaldiran he secluded himself to drinking Alcohol depression and pessimism given that his wife was taken to the Ottomans thus begging the Sultan Selim to return her back only to his dismay that his wife was married off to one of the Ottoman officials and the marriage was a happy one !!! He died at young age of 37 !!!

Very interesting. Which Sunni figures and movements were happy to appoint Imam Khomeini as Khalifa of the Ummah? I haven't heard this before, although I'm aware many Sunnis and Sunni leaders had deep respect for the Imam

Barakallahu feek!

Shariati was an inspiration to me. Quran 25:30 was something he lamented over. Thank you for explaining the shia/sunni approaches to this quietism issue and why the middle way seems like a third, different from both. Question: is it true there's no hadith book devoted to extolling the virtues of justice? Unlike the Qur'an which focuses on it? I've heard it said but can't attest.

This must be qadr my cousin was just talking to me about ali shariatis book religion vs religion

Shia Muslim and Sunni Muslim are brothers and sisters in Islam as they all believe that Muhammad pbuh was the last Messenger and that Allah SWT is the ONE TRUE GOD! Whoever wants to cause a conflict using this argument of Ali Ra having been the true successor and not Abu Bakr Ra or Omar ibn Al khattab after the Prophet Muhammad pbuh then whatever happened in the past may have been the beginning of the sectarianism that the Prophet Muhammad pbuh warned us about. The Prophet Muhammad pbuh grandsons Hassan and Hussain . My favourite names. Hassan and Hussain ❤️🤲

I’m sort of watching this a few minutes at time and 6 minutes I’m realising if Khomeini is registered as the khilafah then the Saudis would most likely to see Iran defeated by Isreal and the West. Is that fair assessment or am I way off? Or would they view a fight between the two similar to Rome vs Persia? It’s an extremely messy situation regardless, way worse than I could’ve imagine! 😢

@Historyun To answer you Challenge regarding revival of Islam coming from the West. I would argue that there is a sort of an interaction with between the two. It is not a matter of being more pious or more active or even formulating ideas (from a Western perspective) However movements that have their origin in the hardland of the Muslims have branched out to the West due to various reasons. The expression of ideas formulated by these movements has been, up until relatively recently, easier. In absense of persecution more room to publicly platform these ideas. In the West the state, it's intelligence and security apparatus work differently, also based upon the (empty) slogans they have based their societies on there is/was relatively more room to openly express views, despite their ideological rejection and the assault on Islam under what is called the War on Terror. So in a sense the ripples in the water coming from the West should actually create a certain awareness in the hardland of the Muslims, stimulate intellectually and motivate by the example of Muslims in the West. (From a competitive view) And the strengh of this interaction has not gone unnoticed by the Western regimes, which in my view proves the point to be valid. The West in general has targetted the idea and sense of being One Ummah, has pressured Muslims in the West to embrace a Western national identity first over the identity of being a Muslim who is part of the Ummah who happens to reside here or there. Here in the Netherlands in 2020 we had lets say congressional hearings where they summoned various individuals representing various Islamic movements under the guise of their worries about financial influence from Muslim countries. In reality these weeks of hearings where more about concepts and ideas than financing. It is problematic for oppressors in the Muslim world to combat ideas that are platformed in the West. And do not forget, what I will say are the words of Umar Ibn Khattab (ra) when he said: "Verily, the bonds of Islam will undone, one by one, only if there arise people in Islam who never knew the time of ignorance.” The colonized countries have been subject to centuries or decades of orientalism, having curricula deformed and reformed, having been destoyed, beaten on the battle field and conquered. Which will drive it's inhabitants to a certain admiration for the conquerer and his way of life. Many of those you discus have come to the west and have adopted western thought (Liberalism, Socialism, Capitalism etc) in an effort to revive the Ummah. It means ideas have crept into the hearts and minds of Muslims that are foreign to the Deen more often than not unnoticed. So Jahiliyyah has been adopted and the carrier of those ideas either thinks they are Islamic or doesn't recognize the conflict and contradiction. Now us in the West have tasted Jahiliyyah, it was our lifestyled, we where the definition of Jahiliyyah. When presented the contrast and alternative that is Islam our rejection is one of actual experience. The "La" negation in our Shahada has a certain degree of depth, because many of us till a lesser or greater extent have a strong aversion to elements of Western ideologies and way of Life. Elements that made us turn away when recognizing the Truthfullness of the Message of Islam (about them). So when Umar said: Never knew Jahiliyyah. It is about recognizing external and internal Jahiliyyah in my opinion. While we leave the places of Music and entertainment others are opening the gates. While we have tasted the results, they who newly introduced it are in for a tough societal ride down the line, fornication, adultery, heartbreak, childderen outside of wedlock, alcohol, drugs, crime, accidents, influence on individuals, family and broader society and all related and affected things unmentioned. Having said all that Islam will not be established or arise from anywhere except the hardland of the Muslims. We just hope to play our part.

Salam...Another fascinating video. Black 🖤=Fanna=sacrifice without/before death (spiritual struggle)v ❤️‍🔥 🩸 physical struggle?

Shoutout to Iran كل سنة وانتو طيبين

Where is the turkish guy with you ? Did he opened his another channel ?

To be fair, Iqbal shouldn’t be counted as a conservative. He was a progressive Islamist and more spiritual in his tendencies than dogmatic. His close connections with the Ahmadiyya sect/religion, whatever you wanna call them has been very open. And his kids and grandkids today in Pakistan are very outspoken against the what they see as Mullahism.

Notice how civil the comments are ? I hope the Shia Muslims learn from this. Unlike the onslaught in the Umayyad video, you won't see other Muslims instigating divide here !!! It will be intriguing to see how the discussion will be when commenting on the Saudi Video.

Brother I wanted to ask, are you Somali?

HISTORYUN, are you Shia hater or Khomeini hater?

Kitab Al Tahara of Ayatollah Khomeini - Vol. 3, page 457 As for the other groups of the Nawasib, actually the Khawarij, even though they’ll get the more punished then the Kuffar, yet this is not proving them to be Najis (impure). Hence if a Sultan makes Khurooj (opposes/fights) Amir Al-Mu’minin - ‘alaihis-salam - not for religious reason, rather for worldly reason (seeking power) or other motives like Aaisha, Zubair, Talha, Mu’aawiya and their likes, or if someone holds Nasb/enmity towards him or one of the [twelve] Imams (ع), not due to religious reason rather because of his enmity towards the Quraish, or Bani Hashim or the Arabs or because [Ali] killed one of his children or his father etc. Apparently none of those are necessarily considered Najis (impure) from an apparent point of view, although in fact they are more impure than dogs and pigs. No amount of revisionism or 'objective' leanings will sway the learnerd, on the past and current rawafid regime.

Is Khumeini is the only true Khalifa of "All Muslims"? I am a Sunni and I am raising this question now. Should he be protected and given resouces as the last Ottoman caliph? Whom became victim of its own general that overthrew him after enjoying the support of all Sunni Muslim clerics that supported the cause of preservation of Khilafat. Are we as Muslims, obliged to follow the orders of the only Khalifa that we have, regardless of whether he is Shia or Sunni.

God bless you, brother you’re very knowledgeable however, rather, there is a movement named after him or not it is his cause that is the power God and all due respect to the man that you feel helped quite a bit with this cause this cause with or without even him would’ve been successful God would’ve used other people or other means to make it successful so whatever branch of Islam, you are remember it’s the cause that Trump’s even the branch

Welcome greater israel

One thing is quite obvious that all Muslim scholars revolutionaries intellectuals and class leaders are groomed educated and intellectually brought up in west Does it tantamount to that either western word is blessed by. Allaha or the western aboriginal people being Jews or christens being. Bani. Israel are blessed people and designed to lead the human races in all aspects

Truly evil

Akhi your misinformed and out of touch, your too lost in your academic space. Again the events of the 70's have no relevance or impact on our ummah today with current events in effect.. . Great history lesson but no relevance to our current ummah situation and circumstances
