					<description><![CDATA[In this video, Berak Hussain recites a poem about Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Imam of Twelver Shias and a descendant of the prophet Muhammad(PBUH). She describes his legacy, his life, his scientific debates, his status among Shia followers, and his enemies. She also expresses her emotions when visiting his holy shrine in Mashhad, Iran, which is the largest mosque in the world. The poem is a tribute to Imam Reza, who was known for his piety and Divine knowledge. Her poem is as follows: &#8220;Born in the holiest of cities in Medina In the house of Imam Mousa Al Kazim The 8th after the 7th of the Divine’s shari&#8217;a Ali the name of the highest For what better name of Ali to name Yes we are the biased &#160; Son of the Star Najmah A former slave of the Berber Of Highest nobility and thought A woman scholar, do not be bought That our faith of these women has not &#160; Al Reza, Abal Hassan Al Thani Meaning pleased with whatever’s given from Al&#8217;ali Not satisfied with more to give in His name That is a challenge we all must face do not be blamed &#160; Struggle he did with the patience of the pious At a time of Al-Mamoon and his defiance For we know that all of those against Muhammad Were always of black heart and double-faced, insane of envy and mad In the face of purity and honour They always fall with disgrace which is so proper &#160; So let me tell you about Ali Reza and his legacy At a time of jealous evil and hypocrisy He knew the little pawns of the Abbasid and Umayyads Don&#8217;t be fooled by his quiet stance and abstinence &#160; Lessons for us today as we see the game played In politics with religion strayed Al Saud from Mu&#8217;awiya Keep letting Satan rule over you thinking you’re the rightful Messiah &#160; Threatened by the pureness of Ale Muhammad Al Ma&#8217;moon Challenging Al Reza?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this video, Berak Hussain recites a poem about Imam Reza (AS), the eighth Imam of Twelver Shias and a descendant of the prophet Muhammad(PBUH). She describes his legacy, his life, his scientific debates, his status among Shia followers, and his enemies. She also expresses her emotions when visiting his holy shrine in Mashhad, Iran, which is the largest mosque in the world. The poem is a tribute to Imam Reza, who was known for his piety and Divine knowledge.</p>
<p>Her poem is as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;Born in the holiest of cities in Medina</p>
<p>In the house of Imam Mousa Al Kazim</p>
<p>The 8th after the 7th of the Divine’s shari&#8217;a</p>
<p>Ali the name of the highest</p>
<p>For what better name of Ali to name</p>
<p>Yes we are the biased</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Son of the Star Najmah</p>
<p>A former slave of the Berber</p>
<p>Of Highest nobility and thought</p>
<p>A woman scholar, do not be bought</p>
<p>That our faith of these women has not</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Al Reza, Abal Hassan Al Thani</p>
<p>Meaning pleased with whatever’s given from Al&#8217;ali</p>
<p>Not satisfied with more to give in His name</p>
<p>That is a challenge we all must face do not be blamed</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Struggle he did with the patience of the pious</p>
<p>At a time of Al-Mamoon and his defiance</p>
<p>For we know that all of those against Muhammad</p>
<p>Were always of black heart and double-faced, insane of envy and mad</p>
<p>In the face of purity and honour</p>
<p>They always fall with disgrace which is so proper</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So let me tell you about Ali Reza and his legacy</p>
<p>At a time of jealous evil and hypocrisy</p>
<p>He knew the little pawns of the Abbasid and Umayyads</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by his quiet stance and abstinence</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lessons for us today as we see the game played</p>
<p>In politics with religion strayed</p>
<p>Al Saud from Mu&#8217;awiya</p>
<p>Keep letting Satan rule over you thinking you’re the rightful Messiah</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Threatened by the pureness of Ale Muhammad</p>
<p>Al Ma&#8217;moon Challenging Al Reza?</p>
<p>Yam&#8217;owad bring it on</p>
<p>In the courts of philosophers, scientists, and astronomers such a yawn</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For even by their own books and tongue</p>
<p>Al Reza slashed them all one by one</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One need not say I am the rightful one</p>
<p>When all of your proof is at the tip of your tongue</p>
<p>Al Reza your debates slammed the highest of them all</p>
<p>They plan yet not realizing He is the best of Planners</p>
<p>Embarrassed and shamed with the slap of truth</p>
<p>What could he do but point so astute?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Off to Khorasan banished</p>
<p>To silence the followers to vanish</p>
<p>As the Crown Prince to quell the impending rebellion</p>
<p>Not knowing he has created his own Hellion</p>
<p>As the lovers grew in numbers</p>
<p>All of a result of Al Ma&#8217;moon’s blunder</p>
<p>Turning the black flags back to the original green</p>
<p>Just as in the days of the truth as seen</p>
<p>Games twisted to raise Al Reza</p>
<p>As he was already raised by the rightful A&#8217;ala</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fatima Ma&#8217;sooma soon to follow</p>
<p>Not being able to part the heart so hollow</p>
<p>With her brother’s lead</p>
<p>Teaching more to the steep</p>
<p>Alhamdulillah by far their love embedded in the true hearts</p>
<p>Of the muwaleen forever</p>
<p>As evident in the golden domes and highest of minarets</p>
<p>Of the 7 courts of the fountains and the heavens</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Mashhad do our eyes witness</p>
<p>The glory of Ali Al Reza</p>
<p>Sending our salaams so far with our hands</p>
<p>Wishing to be standing under those domes with our Hussaini brand</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ya Ghareeb Toos, oh King of Khorasaan,</p>
<p>Sultan of Khorasan</p>
<p>Peace be upon the blessed day of your birth and land</p>
<p>From hearts with tears to be close to the scented Zareeh of your promised land</p>
<p>Asalamu A&#8217;laika Oh Pleased One, Al Reza. of Ale Muhamad of Khorasan&#8221;</p>
