I have the portuguese translation of Nahjul Balagha and i've read it entirely once. Now it's a good time to pick it and read it again. I'm a big fan of Dr. Ammar lectures for over 10 years.

It's your lecture let me open my heart and accept shiasm. Since then I start my different life style. I read also this book. But somehow didn't strongly understand . I'm so happy u start this topic. I will surely learn alot in this holy ramadam. My pray for u . Sayed ammar. U don't know me. But through u I find light ❤

[@shukeelc5177]

Agreed.. How can anyone disagree with the teachings of Rasool Allah(saw) and the Holy Household (as) that we are commanded to follow.

[@HajjiJesus]

Wait, the book is fabricated. Nobody knows for sure who wrote it. Narrations without chance in Islam are just like garbage. Wasted endeavor otherwise. Anybody could make up stuff and attribute to others if you dont care about chains and authenticity.

Amazing lecture! And it's just an intro; can't imagine how many hours it took Syed to prepare this 30 episode long series! Thank you for your effort! Growing up and studying in the US I also read all the western authors and quoted them extensively. Until I started to really dig deeper into our Imams and came to realize they were the ORIGINAL thinkers and proponents of so many ideologies attributed to much more recent authors. It's something I'm trying to get my child to understand also. Can't wait.... this series will be playing on our TV at every opening of the fast this Ramadan!

What an incredible introduction to this series

[@sehbahssain3755]

Absolutely mesmerizing lecture! We need a better understanding of nahjul balagha in the present time. I believe the generations educated in western societies are capable of absorbing the wisdom of this book. Good translations and commentaries (repackaging) will definitely help. Looking forward to your speeches during this holy month.

[@sugrataherally710]

The Holy Kaaba is House of the Almighty. No funny matter. One doesn't have to be borne Only in a hospital. He was borne in a House of Almighty. I too have been borne in my home not a hospital.

[@ah6701]

I have seen the video on your channel, so glad that you found so many good things from the book. Sad part is the comments in the comment section, i do not understand how people automatically refuse it or tell you to be careful because it is a shia book. People that comment this, are not blind but their hearts are. No one of them even studied the authenticy of the book, yet they have judged. They havent even studied their own books and the authenticy of it. Allahu Akbar, Allah is the greatest, prophet Muhammad is his last prophet and Ali is our first khalif and imam after the prophet. Sister, we the followers of Muhammad and his family, We are from a School of wisdom and knowledge. The prophet said in both sunni and shia books and no one rejects, that the prophet is the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate. The prophet said that he is the House of wisdom and Ali is its gate. We follow the prophets sunnah and no others. Seek the truth and study every book that will come in your way, the blind hearted will always try to keep you away from that which they cant accept.

Mr Ammar, after reading the translation of the holy Qur'an, next I read the English translation of Nahjul Balagha and believe me I was addicted to the reading, though I read English translation, some paragraphs I had to read three times to comprehend what Maula Ali was trying to say on the subject, so deep was the meaning. I suspect all these people you mentioned, have derived inspiration from Maula Ali on their respective subjects

[@samanthao5874]

Seriously, the 2nd greatest book? Sermon 80, on women: O people! Women are deficient in Faith, deficient in shares and deficient in intelligence. As regards the deficiency in their Faith, it is their abstention from prayers and fasting during their menstrual period. As regards deficiency in their intelligence it is because the evidence of two women is equal to that of one man. As for the deficiency of their shares that is because of their share in inheritance being half of men. So beware of the evils of women. Be on your guard even from those of them who are (reportedly) good. Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.”

[@ah6701]

This Sermon was after the battle of jamal, who was led by Aisha against imam Ali. It is not about all women, this is about women who are doing wrong. The quran also says: “Indeed man becomes rebellious, when he considers himself without need.” You are viewing this out of context. 😁

[@1089S]

What is the use of a book if it cannot be Authenticated. Do you even know who wrote for sure? The heart of what is wrong with Shiasm is the reliance of fabricated narrations and explaining away clear Quran verses because of deviance. End result is polytheism and Imam worship.

[@ItsJustVenomOfficial]

The real problem is when someone who hasn’t studied for years on how to authenticate literature thinks he has the right to pass a judgement of authenticity. The difference between Shia and Sunni educational facilities is when the Sunnis study, they study Sunni methodology only, but the Shia study both, and then compare both, and try to destroy both, but the Shia are only able to destroy the Sunni methodology because they are man-made, whereas the methodology of the Shia comes from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS), and he gets it from his father (AS), and he gets it from his father (AS), and he gets it from his father (AS), and he gets it from his father Imam Ali AS and he gets it from The Prophet (ص), and he gets it from Allah SWT.

[@HajjiJesus]

@ItsJustVenomOfficial Have heard the claim. Here is downer for you and any other Shia who just go by what he Ayyatullah tells him. *Bring a Single Authentic Mutassil Hadith according to Shia Standards?* You cannot.

[@ItsJustVenomOfficial]

@@HajjiJesus I’m not sure what knowledge you have, but you need to realise you can’t use your own personal authentication method and make others abide by it. In Shia literature, Ziyara Ashura has a chain of narration leading back to Allah SWT. It is a hadith Qudsi. This can only happen when you have a direct link to Allah SWT (Quran 5:55), only the purified ones have that link (Quran 33:33).

[@HajjiJesus]

@@ItsJustVenomOfficial You really dont have any knowledge about what Shiams is, don't you? I have been debating Shias for the last 10 years, if not more. Check it out, Shias have standards about Authentic hadiths. *Another downer for you. We Muslims have no problems of Ahlul Bayt, be they Mohamed, Jafar, and the rest. What we have problems are the people narrating from. If you don't now, there is not single Hadith from 1 Ahlul Bayt to another without passing people like Zurara except 1, and that is not one you will like it. Imagine this, you have gold chain and the last part of the chain that reaches you is made of rotten garbage. What is the use of that Golden chain to you if it cannot reach you. Similarly, that is the problem you have. Again, bring single Authentic chained Hadith to Prophet SAW that confirms Shia Standard of Authentication?* Here is an easy one, not easy as you will get to know if you search for it. *Bring Single known by people, vouched Ahlul Bayt, Shia Student of Ahlul Bayt which should give you good peremeter of where to take the knowledge of Ahlul Bayt?* Here is another, must be easy. It is not as you will also figure out. *Bring one single Shia student/person or none-student, that Ahlul Bayt associated with, like they married from, them or their sons, or they gave their daughters to?* What this proves is that Ahlul Bayt have no relations with Shia, claimers. The people they associated with, married from, give their daughters to, lived and died in their midst were the cream of the cream of the Muslims, Companions and the children of the companions, same one Shia day and night curse. *Might God curse those who curse the rightous people.*

[@ItsJustVenomOfficial]

@@HajjiJesus In The Name Of Allah SWT, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. It is clear that these last 10 years have been wasted, as you have failed to grasp the measure of authenticity of the Blessed Shia. The Shia use multiple tools to authenticate the hadith, not just Ilm Rijal, in contrast to the sunnis. Most notably, is The Holy Quran, which is the strictest of authentication methods, and which by many hadiths fail. Once again, unlike sunnis, The Shia don’t have a “sahih” book, because the only fully authentic book is The Quran. It is your fault for using your own methodology and putting it on The Shia and thinking that you’re right. That lack is from you, not from the truth, for the truth is not what you want it to be; it is the truth. You either bend to its power, or live a lie. Amongst other disgusting “sahih” narrations, the sunnis have one distorted view of The Holy Prophet (ص), one where he continuously tries to commit suicide, he urinates while standing up, and the best part is his own wife aisha claims he was bewitched (sahih bulhari 3175), something which only the oppressors would say to The Holy Prophet ص (Quran 17:47) May Allah SWT withdraw all of His blessing from the oppressors, be it his wife or the people around him, just like how He withdrew His blessing from the wives of Prophet Lut (as) and Prophet Noah (as)
