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!
@louisholland3057 his best works are speeches, and a few books that he wrote. Unfortunately many of his works are in persian and very hard to find translation. One of his famous quotes is my neighbor died of hunger so they sacrificed a lamb for his passing. There is a book about his bio written by an Iranian professor called An Islamic Utopian
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.
That is valid since Shariati was essentially an advocate for Radical Shia Socialism however he drew closer to the ideals and anti-establishment rhetoric of Khomeini later on in his career. Mosadegh hadn't bridged that space Shariati was the missing link.
I agree as a Muslim in the west particularly Brooklyn NY,we have our think tanks and figures to look to for Iman Al Islam as so-called AfroAmerican,but one of my faves was Sir Idries Shah who was a Indo-British Afghan sufi teacher and Meta-Occult researcher who taught a lot about secret Islamic history and deep influence in Europe and Freemasonry plus various mentions of secret societies…
What Khomeini established was a shia Khilafah.....wow...that blew my mind! That is a powerful fact and gives hope to Muslims....being a sunni i never realised this. Thanks for reminding!
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.
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.
@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.
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.
It was widely belived that CIA and western powers were very less concerned about Iranian revolution because sunnis around them would not let them to expand. How shameful for muslims. Unity is utmost necessity.
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 !!!
Psychological torture. When Tamerlane captured Sultan Beyazid, he kept him in a golden cage and would have him watch as the captured Sultan's wife and mother was ordered to serve food for Tamerlane while Beyazid was only able to watch in anguish... It was a tough time to be alive
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.
Ali Shariati calculated that Iran during his own time was back in the equivalent of the European Medieval times. So, therefore, as Catholicism gave way to Protestantism, as the European intellectuals turned Western religion into a protesting, inquiring and critical phenomonan, so too must Iranian Shia society be inspired by intellectuals and academia to transcend itself out of decadent and reactionary religious traditionalism, and cultural stagnation, to enrich its social and cultural disposition by transforming Shia Islam into a worldly and dynamic and creative and enlightening force.
Allama asad had stated in his book ROAD TO MUKKAH that raza pehlvi was not from any royal background abd was among the armed force which in a border battle with russia emerged as a victor and so on . is it so ?
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
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 ❤️🤲
It is a noble thought but there are some vast differences. In fact it can be argued that the Shia don't even accept the five pillars of sunni Islam. I have studied with Shia in my younger days and it was an eye opener. Most sunnis are woefully ignorant of the tenets of ithnaa aashari. The differences are far greater than that of succession.
They're not really. Your "so called" Shia brothers (esp Iran supported) slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon. Their war crimes equal the war crimes of Zionists in Palestine.
I am from Turkey, and I dont have a religion, I am saying this because I wont look at things from a religious perspective. About what Atatürk has done, it is far from being similar then what happened in Iran. Atatürk is a controversial figure in Turkey. In the 1924 constitution it says that the state of religion is Islam, you can look at that. But this was removed in 1928. Atatürk's aim from the very beginning (see his autobiography “Nutuk”) was to establish a secular republic. As I assume 90% of Non-religious people in Turkey love Atatürk,and I would say %50 for the religious people. The criticism of religious those who don't like him is quite simple, “What Allah commands is to rule by the laws of Islam and Atatürk is an infidel who prevented this.” On the other hand, non-religious people criticize some different points, for example what happened to Turkish language. I am not going to discuss these issues, but my understanding is that Ali Shariati was a more moderate figure. He would not approve of Atatürk's actions when they reached out to Islam, but in general, he would support him in building an kind a socialist and libertarian society. I think if Shariati saw what happened in Iran after 79, how women were forced to wear hijab, how executions were carried out, how freedom of thought and expression were undermined by the “republic” that replaced the Shah after he left, I am sure he would be devastated. As horrible as it is that he died so young, in a way it is good that he could not see these things.
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.
@@HistoryunAssalaamu'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, Ustadh, i had hoped that you would talk more about khomeini rather than ali shariati, maybe you can do another video on khomeini and his books, in some of which he declared that after they liberate Harramein Sharifain, he will dig out the graves of Abu Bakr & Umar Radiallahu Anhuma and hang them on the trees being in nude state and allow the people to commit all types of sins not excluding zina and all their sins would be put on the shoulders of Abu Bakr & Umar Radiallahu Anhuma, but see the result of his putrid/ venomous hatred which resulted in when his own body was mutilated by his fanatic followers & his shroud was ripped apart ending up in his own nudity & to salvage the situation, his body was winched of by crane/cranes. this happening was recorded by many medias, with the one of their own publication namely keyhan international explicitly showing images at the time.
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.
i believe that Iqbal disassociated with mirza qadiani after he learned about his deviancy, i also believe that Iqbal was not Muslim religious Scholar per se, he was a very accomplished poet hence the title Allama Iqbal, he wrote a long poem named Shikwah for which he was declared an apostate, later he wrote Jawaab e Shikwah which cleared the misunderstanding of his first poem (Shikwah)
@@googleuser-fo7td true. But what’s also true is that had he written Shikwa in today’s time he would have had to make a run for his life from Pakistan. His Islamism was very very different than what we expect Islamism to be today.
@saadraees09 couldn't agree more, later He became Hero after writing Jawab e Shikwah, it is said atleast He had a dream for Muslims to have their own country where they could practice their faith peacefully, sometimes it pains us for people in Pakistan to be falsely accused of blasphemy to settle their personal scores, be it land issues or any other issues, and that is against the teachings of Islam
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! 😢
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.
He was not the mastermind, but more a influencer for islamism. He made something that was not widely known among the masses seem harmless and benign. Ha help create the false impression that political islam is modern, progressive, democratic and a force for justice and equality.
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
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
" all Muslim scholars revolutionaries intellectuals and class leaders are groomed educated and intellectually brought up in west" What???? There is no basis for this.
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.
@@kabirjavaid He is dead and if you read his books, the only Khalifa is Al Mahdi khalifa and he always saw himself as a soldier of Al Mahdi not a khalif.

The next video will be on the virtues of Caliph Mu'awiyyah Ibn Abi Sufyan (R.A). It's going to be a baptism of fire 🔥

@@HistoryunAssalaamu'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, Ustadh, i had hoped that you would talk more about khomeini rather than ali shariati, maybe you can do another video on khomeini and his books, in some of which he declared that after they liberate Harramein Sharifain, he will dig out the graves of Abu Bakr & Umar Radiallahu Anhuma and hang them on the trees being in nude state and allow the people to commit all types of sins not excluding zina and all their sins would be put on the shoulders of Abu Bakr & Umar Radiallahu Anhuma, but see the result of his putrid/ venomous hatred which resulted in when his own body was mutilated by his fanatic followers & his shroud was ripped apart ending up in his own nudity & to salvage the situation, his body was winched of by crane/cranes.
this happening was recorded by many medias, with the one of their own publication namely keyhan international explicitly showing images at the time.
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.
i believe that Iqbal disassociated with mirza qadiani after he learned about his deviancy, i also believe that Iqbal was not Muslim religious Scholar per se, he was a very accomplished poet hence the title Allama Iqbal, he wrote a long poem named Shikwah for which he was declared an apostate, later he wrote Jawaab e Shikwah which cleared the misunderstanding of his first poem (Shikwah)
@@googleuser-fo7td true. But what’s also true is that had he written Shikwa in today’s time he would have had to make a run for his life from Pakistan. His Islamism was very very different than what we expect Islamism to be today.
@saadraees09 couldn't agree more, later He became Hero after writing Jawab e Shikwah, it is said atleast He had a dream for Muslims to have their own country where they could practice their faith peacefully, sometimes it pains us for people in Pakistan to be falsely accused of blasphemy to settle their personal scores, be it land issues or any other issues, and that is against the teachings of Islam
Where is the turkish guy with you ? Did he opened his another channel ?
Brother I wanted to ask, are you Somali?
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! 😢
Shia islam had women being educated in al azar in egypt almost 1000yrs ago. Very good
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.
He was not the mastermind, but more a influencer for islamism. He made something that was not widely known among the masses seem harmless and benign. Ha help create the false impression that political islam is modern, progressive, democratic and a force for justice and equality.
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
HISTORYUN, are you Shia hater or Khomeini hater?
Welcome greater israel
Looks like it
I think the Iranian made a good system but with a wrong ideology.
Ali Shiriati the heretic wrote that Uthman was a tyrant and praised the Khariji revolt against him.
Truly evil
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
" all Muslim scholars revolutionaries intellectuals and class leaders are groomed educated and intellectually brought up in west"
What???? There is no basis for this.

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.
@@kabirjavaid He is dead and if you read his books, the only Khalifa is Al Mahdi khalifa and he always saw himself as a soldier of Al Mahdi not a khalif.
