Lessons From Karbala
Lessons From Karbala 
Friday Juma Khutba - Sh Nuru Mohammed
2:00 Quran reminds us about consciousness in many verses.
Al-Imran (The Family of Imran) 3:102
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
O you who have attained to faith! Be conscious of God with all the consciousness that is due to Him, and do not allow death to overtake you ere you have surrendered yourselves unto Him.
4:00 Karbala the best event to learn lessons for living successful life. Life is comprised of good and bad days.
Lessons for us. 1) Fully accustomed with worship. Perfect belief in prayers. Imam Hussain AS lastly requested to his sister Bibi Zainab SA; remember me in your night prayers.
7:00 2) Supplication; On each and every moment, remembrance of Allah SWT. My Allah You are witness what people are doing with me.
[Some people start their day by smelling flowers, kissing children, listening music; to feel good day.]
3) Remembrance (Thikr) of Allah SWT: Imam Hussain AS recited many verses of Holy Quran on Day of Ashoora.
4) Congregational prayer on time publicly.
5) Psychologically inspired. Allah SWT will protect. Firm connection with Allah SWT on hard situations. Tawakkal (Trust), rely of Allah SWT. Raazii ba-razaa resigned to the will of God, to submit to the will of God is next level than tawakkal. I'm happy is next level. Rizan bi Qazai hi Wa Tasleeman li Amreh Inna lillah e wa Inna Ileh e Rajeoon. Thank You Allah for putting me into this situation. [Imam Zaynul Abedeen - How can I complete thankfulness, whenever I thank, another thankfulness becomes due.]
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ
Very few of my servants are grateful. (34:13)
Let's admonish (advise) ouselves with Taqwa (Consciousness).
Values learned from Karbala is preparation of welcoming Imam Mahdi ATFS. Imam Muhammad Baqir AS: completion of every act of worship is dependent on the meeting of Hujjat (connecting with Imam Mahdi ATFS).
Knowledge and recognition are two different realms. Imam Hussain AS came out to establish Divine Absolute Justice. He gave voice to the voiceless. Women were silent. Imam took Zainab SA, Rubab SA, Sakeena SA with him. They spoke out and women of that times got courage to stand up for righteousness.
Proud on self; The Imam (A) said about Yazid, A man like me cannot give allegiance to a man like him." Be proud, who you are. Social justice.
Keeping mission of Imam Hussain AS to self in your heart with no action or contributing to the community and humanity.
