In this revolutionary series, His Eminence Sheikh al-Habib presents narrations and guidelines deduced from the teachings of the Pure Family of the Prophet (peace be upon them) on the ideal characteristics that a Shi’a individual must adorn themselves. His Eminence contrasts this to the current Shi’a climate that has come about through a prolonged negative historical context. Through this, the Sheikh sheds light on the psychological barriers and religious fallacies that have prevented the ordinary Shi’a individual from personal growth, vision, ambition, the advancement of Shi’a resourcefulness in various fields, and progress of the Shi’a religion as a whole.

Did the universe come to existence by chance? Or is there an ‘intelligent designer’ that brought about our reality through will? Is science at war with religion? Does religion lay the basis of misguided morality, or does it justify the very existence of the concept of morality? If so, why is there so much perceived suffering in the world?

 Inclinations to the denial of the Creator, rejection of religions as a source of guidance and the advocacy of subjective and fluctuating morality are phenomenons that are gaining traction in modern times. With New Atheism on the rise, it presents various arguments challenging God and religion. Sheikh al-Habib gives us a summary overview of how the religion of Islam does and always has contained the answers

Sheikh al-Habib explains five common and essential jurisprudential rulings that every Shi’a should know, based on the rulings of Sayed Sadiq al-Shirazi. These five principles include:

• First principle: One is not to repeat the prayer except under five circumstances.
• Second principle: That one judges his actions as being acceptable in the case of doubting their legitimacy.
• Third principle: Converting to Islam nullifies previous sins.
  
• Fourth principle:  Concluding the prayer and performing two post-prayer prostrations in the case of being unsure whether one has completed the third or fourth rak’aa.
• Fifth principle: When one prays the prayers that include four rak’aat (bowings to God) and one is unsure regarding the number of rak’aats prayed, one should prioritise the higher number. For example, if unsure between completing three or four rak’aat one should conclude that one has carried out four.

The blessed celebration whereby we are joyous on the death anniversary of God’s enemy A’isha (may God’s damnation be upon her) is a part of our tradition; as the religion instructs us to be joyous upon the death of a tyrant.

Upon the first-ever televised celebration of the death of A’isha, Sheikh al-Habib received large numbers of criticisms, backlash and insults; from both Shi’a and non-Shi’a. First of all, one must thank God for this uproar, as it allows for directing the public attention to the critical topic of addressing who the killers of the Ahl-ul-Bayt are (peace be upon them). In this series, the Sheikh selects from the large volume of displeased supporters of A’isha and responds to them with clarity through evidence from the Qur’an and hadith.

Sheikh al-Habib tackles various characteristics and personality traits that the religion of Islam, Prophet Muhammad and the Ahl-ul-Bayt (peace be upon them all) have taught us. These traits allow one to grow into their best potential selves and attain the highest status in the eyes of God. They also allow one to overcome trials, as well as Satanic influence. Such individuals lead the way in aiding the religion and directing the world towards religious and social harmony.

The infallibles’ act per the will of God and not their desires. These lectures present the narrations whereby the infallibles are clearly shown what they must do and carry out to complete their mission in this worldly life.

‘Do they not then reflect on the Qur’an? Or are there locks upon their hearts?’ – Chapter 47, verse 24

Reflecting upon the verses that we read is something the Holy Qur’an has asked us to do and therefore, a religious obligation. This series delves into the meanings behind some of the ambiguous verses and also responds to some misconceptions posed by disbelievers such as Ahmad al-Qobanchi in his criticism of the Holy Qur’an.

Al-Mahdi al-Abbasi and Harun al-Abbasi imprisoned our Imam (peace be upon him) six times and finally killed him via poison. Despite this harsh life, how did our Imam live, and how did he treat the ones who wronged him? During his life, the Imam also met one of Umar ibn al-Khattab’s grandchildren, how did he treat the Imam, and how did the Imam treat him?

This series presents a summarised version of A’isha’s crimes and obscenities. The series covers the most central evidence proving the condemnation of this personality. The evidence used is, as usual, taken from The Holy Qur’an, The Noble Prophetic Tradition and known historical accounts in the books of history and biography.

Sheikh al-Habib mentions the requirements for a ruler of a state based on Islamic principles and the methodology of implementation in the real world. He also argues why such a state is necessary and why states today claiming to be Islamic are far from it.

The Sheikh presents a response to Shi’a and non-Shias against the Rafida methodology and Movement, based entirely upon narrations and previous scholars’ statements.

‘’My companions are like the stars, whichever star you follow you shall be guided’’. Narrations like these, falsely attributed to the Prophet, have given many lay Muslims a false image of all companions being just. We must recognise that the previous regimes that took over the Islamic nation after the Prophet’s martyrdom were people of misguidance and chasers of worldly desires. Many companions are protected from criticism under the guise of ‘they are companions and so do not criticise them’. Through this, they wish for their sanctity to become mandatory no matter what actions they committed. Sheikh al-Habib clears the mist on this topic.

A classical poem on Satan:

Your cunning enemy, do you know him well?
Do you know his inception and history?
Do you know his way of thinking?
What are his successes and failures?
Who are his most prominent aides?
What are the most prominent of his plots and traps?
