00:06 - 00:09

Sooner or later, the reappearance of the Imam (atfs) will happen. 

2

00:09 - 00:16

However, the individuals who can be his servants and accompany him have at least one criteria 

3

00:16 - 00:21

and that is to be light (burdenless). One word: light (burdenless). People who are weighed 

4

00:21 - 00:26

down will be stuck to the ground. They cannot stand beside the Imam (atfs) to the end. 

5

00:26 - 00:32

In the battle of Tabuk, a verse was revealed. The battle of Tabuk occurred in the 9th year after hijra. 

6

00:32 - 00:38

The Holy Prophet (sawa) called on troops for Tabuk in Madinah for the battle against the people of Rum, 

7

00:38 - 00:42

similar to the Western world of that time. The weather was extremely warm. 

8

00:42 - 00:47

The Muslims had to travel 600 km (~400 miles) from Madinah to Tabuk. The weather was warm 

9

00:47 - 00:51

and the hypocrites started a psychological battle and creating rumors. 

10

00:51 - 00:54

They stated that they would perish traveling this far in the heat. 

11

00:54 - 01:01

Some said it is harvest season and if we go there and return we will not have food to eat. 

12

01:01 - 01:12

Others mentioned rumors that if they go, there will be women from Rum and they will suffer from temptations and hardships

 

13

01:12 - 01:19

At this time, this verse was revealed. Chapter Tawbah Verse 38 “Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo 

14

01:19 - 01:25

ma lakum itha qeela lakumu infiroo fee sabeeli Allahi iththaqaltum ila al-ardi”  

15

01:25 - 01:37

(Oh Believers, what happened to you? When it comes to Allah, do you feel weighted down to the earth?) 

16

01:37 - 01:43

When it comes to this world, you jump like a spring and you are not tired. However, when it comes to God 

17

01:43 - 01:52

and His work, accompanying the Wali of Allah you complain about the weather conditions and make other excuses. 

18

01:52 - 01:58

“illa tanfiru fi sabilAllah ya azibkum azab alima” if you are not in the way of God (and His Wali) 

19

01:58 - 02:03

you will experience great torment. All the exegists had reported that this great torment

20

02:03 - 02:09

discussed in this verse does not only pertain to the hereafter. In this life if someone chooses not 

21

02:09 - 02:16

to be with the Wali of Allah they will suffer from lack of safety and great troubles. We have to be light (burdenless).
