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:
“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’a
Ali the name of the highest
For what better name of Ali to name
Yes we are the biased
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
Al Reza, Abal Hassan Al Thani
Meaning pleased with whatever’s given from Al’ali
Not satisfied with more to give in His name
That is a challenge we all must face do not be blamed
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
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’t be fooled by his quiet stance and abstinence
Lessons for us today as we see the game played
In politics with religion strayed
Al Saud from Mu’awiya
Keep letting Satan rule over you thinking you’re the rightful Messiah
Threatened by the pureness of Ale Muhammad
Al Ma’moon Challenging Al Reza?
Yam’owad bring it on
In the courts of philosophers, scientists, and astronomers such a yawn
For even by their own books and tongue
Al Reza slashed them all one by one
One need not say I am the rightful one
When all of your proof is at the tip of your tongue
Al Reza your debates slammed the highest of them all
They plan yet not realizing He is the best of Planners
Embarrassed and shamed with the slap of truth
What could he do but point so astute?
Off to Khorasan banished
To silence the followers to vanish
As the Crown Prince to quell the impending rebellion
Not knowing he has created his own Hellion
As the lovers grew in numbers
All of a result of Al Ma’moon’s blunder
Turning the black flags back to the original green
Just as in the days of the truth as seen
Games twisted to raise Al Reza
As he was already raised by the rightful A’ala
Fatima Ma’sooma soon to follow
Not being able to part the heart so hollow
With her brother’s lead
Teaching more to the steep
Alhamdulillah by far their love embedded in the true hearts
Of the muwaleen forever
As evident in the golden domes and highest of minarets
Of the 7 courts of the fountains and the heavens
In Mashhad do our eyes witness
The glory of Ali Al Reza
Sending our salaams so far with our hands
Wishing to be standing under those domes with our Hussaini brand
Ya Ghareeb Toos, oh King of Khorasaan,
Sultan of Khorasan
Peace be upon the blessed day of your birth and land
From hearts with tears to be close to the scented Zareeh of your promised land
Asalamu A’laika Oh Pleased One, Al Reza. of Ale Muhamad of Khorasan”
