\"Opportunity for political solution to Yemen\'s crisis missed\"

There is an opportunity for every single person to develop and grow spiritually. But what is one of the requirements to develop and grow spiritually? And what is the view of Allah as presented in the holy Qur\'an when it comes to this requirement of spiritual growth and development? Why is it necessary and essential? Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei explains beautifully.

Ayatollah Khamenei explains one of the ahadith of Imam Ali (A) in which Imam (A) brings our attention towards making use a special opportunity. What is that priceless opportunity and what would happen if we don\'t avail it?

Do you have problems Don’t come to Arbaeen! Agha AliReza Panahian We should pay attention to what God is expecting in these calm and quiet tests. Some of the tests are with a great commotion, and they clarify our duty. Some of the tests are very quiet. A person may be deceived and suddenly lose opportunities. In many cases, the tests for reaching to the highest degrees of closeness to God, are very delicate and quiet. The people of Kufa said, “What should we do now? What will happen? We can’t leave Imam Husayn (‘a) alone. We invited him ourselves. Let’s wait until he comes.” Then they realized that Imam Husayn (‘a) won’t come. Hurr and his troops had stopped them. And Ubaydullah was preparing an army. They were thinking about what to do. People like Sulayman bin Surad were thinking. Then suddenly what happened? They brought the pure heads into the city. They blamed themselves, “We didn’t know such a tragedy would come about!” Thousands of people formed the Tawwabin (repenters) uprising. All of them knew that they were going to be killed, and they were killed. There was no use for what they did in history, and they didn’t gain the advantage of being in Karbala or Ashura either. What? You expected Imam Husayn (‘a) to pass through Hurr’s blockade himself, come into the city of Kufa, nock on your doors one by one, and say, “Come help me. They want to cut my head off. If you don’t come, this and that will happen.” What explanation did you expect from Imam Husayn (‘a) for you to come? Believe me, Arbaeen is one of the quiet tests. Some of the tests are very quiet. A person may be deceived and suddenly lose opportunities. Believe me, Arbaeen is one of the quiet tests. Arbaeen seems noisy, but it’s also quiet, because one might think, “Is it obligatory for me to struggle for Arbaeen?” I don’t know. What should I say? During these analyses, some lose this great opportunity. During these analyses, some lost the opportunity of helping Husayn (‘a). But, there was one person sitting in Imam Husayn’s (\'a) meeting on the night before Ashura. People informed him, “The cursed Ubaydullah has arrested your son.” Being arrested at that time meant being executed. They had to rescue him somehow. Imam Husayn (‘a) looked at the father and said, “Go save your son. I don’t want you to be here when you have this problem.” The Imam gave him some money and supplies and said, “Use these to gain your son\'s freedom.” If you have problems, don’t come to Arbaeen. If you were in Imam Husayn’s (\'a) tent on the night of Ashura, he would have said, “Go fix your problems.” Even if you were there on the night of Ashura! What did that father do? He looked at AliAkbar, the Imam’s son, and at the Imam (‘a). He said, “Your young son is going to be martyred here tomorrow. Now I should go after my own son? May my son be sacrificed for your son!” He started pleading, “Don’t drive me out of your tent because of this. I don’t want to go after my problems. I want to be for you!” He pleaded so much that the Imam (‘a) said, “Fine, stay.” The tests are not always noisy or clear in clarifying our duties! Some opportunities come and go quickly like lightning. Some opportunities don’t shake you and say, “Wake up. Get up. Move!” They don’t seize you by the collar. A person asks, “I have some jobs to do. There is Arbaeen too. I don’t know if I should leave my work, or not.” I say, “I don’t know. What should I say?!” I tell them I don’t know. If it was Imam Husayn (‘a), he would say, “Go, for sure. Go do your work my dear.” How much did you want to spend for Arbaeen? And you say you’re waiting for your Imam (‘a.j.) to reappear for you to rescue the world with him?! You didn’t spend that much for the dignity of Aba Abdillah al-Husayn’s (‘s) gathering in Karbala in the Arbaeen meeting place. You are waiting for the Imam (‘a.j.) to come for you to give your life? We consider Arbaeen to be a quiet test.

If you happened to see us in Karbala, then we were just as pleased to meet with you as you were to meet with us! This year, the #IslamicPulse team was blessed with the opportunity to be hosted in the Holy City of Karbala. We met with countless individuals from all over the world and felt privileged to answer questions from the youths of various tour groups and deliver lectures for them in the heart of Karbala. As part of our efforts to raise awareness about the oppressed people in the world, we were honored to have our own mowkib (tent) and camp where we worked with the young and old and enlightened the blessed pilgrims on current affairs in light of the divine message of Imam Husayn (A) and the Holy Prophet (S). The #SaveYemen campaign is still in full-throttle and we are raising funds for the oppressed children of the region. Members from among the tour groups also took interviews from us and it was a brilliant opportunity for the pilgrims to ask personal questions. #Arbaeen #IslamicPulse #Karbala #Iraq #Iran #Qom #Najaf #Resistance #ImamHusayn #WhoIsHussain #WhoIsHusayn #ImamHussain #CaravanOfLove #Caravan #Love #Islam #Pulse #Trip #Journey #Quran #Hadith #Shia #Sunni #Compassion #IraqProtests

\\\"Freedom\\\" and the LGBT Agenda which enslaves us | The Makinations 3 The third installment of the groundbreaking series explores the notion of freedom, which has been used to in fact enslave people. Who were some of the key thinkers that built the foundations of this ideology, which is now being used to silence people, imprison peoples’ minds and take away rights? \\\"Human beings truly need to be able to think in a free atmosphere. Freedom of expression is a byproduct of freedom of thought. When there is freedom of thought, naturally there is freedom of expression as well. The main priority is freedom of thought and enabling human beings to think freely. In the absence of a free intellectual atmosphere, there can be no opportunity for growth.” -Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei (May 3, 2017) #LGBT #FreedomOfThought #FreedomOfSpeech #Liberty #Justice #LGBTMuslims #CulturalMarxism #Marxist #Heterosexuality #SexualRevolution #TheMakinations

Every day that we spend in obedience to Allah is an eid! This beautiful children’s song is a reminder for everyone that every day is an opportunity to become the best that we can be. It was tricky for the writer to incorporate the theme of repentance (istighfar) into a children’s song - we have done our best to present a piece of this beautiful concept in a way that would affect the heart. The idea is for children to be endowed with hope in Allah from a young age, to learn to have reliance upon Allah and to recognise that making mistakes does not mean that it’s game over! While the primary audience for this video is children, there are messages in the lyrics which speak out to people of all age groups. Istighfar - or repentance - has often been seen as something gloomy and dull. It is important for us to recognise the bright and hope-giving message that encompasses the reality of it. This video is being released to celebrate the praise of Allah on Eid ul Azha - a day of change, new hope and repentance. #MuslimYouth #Love #Islamic #ChildrensSong #Hope #ChildrensNasheed #Happiness #IslamicSong #IslamicMusic #HalalMusic #HalalSong #Repentance #Astaghfirullah #EidAlAdha #EidUlAzha #Hajj #Haj #Kabah #Mecca #Medina #Hijaz #EidMubarak #Eid #HappyEid #MuslimKids
