God sees your blindness. He sees what you don't have and you lack it and you wanting because other people have. He sees that you don't have vision and other people have. Maybe you don't have a good family and other people have. God sees your situation. Amen. And he is stopping this morning. But when he is stopping, you have to do something. You have to move. You can't be sitting and feeling bad for yourself because this is all that you have done. You have to do something and this guy, he did something to see Jesus. Jesus stood still and he said, call him. God calls you way before he fixes you.  Way before everything is put together. He has calling on your life even when you are blind. He said, call him to me. But before the blind Martinez had to come to Jesus, he had to do something first. He had to, he said that 50 and throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. He had to remove his coat that he was covering and hiding in all his life. He had to remove what always been so comfortable, what always he got used to it. Maybe it was a coat that he always hid himself in. You know, the pretty smile that we put on in the morning, like we put on our makeup. He had to throw aside the coat that was always there for him. Maybe it's your friends. Maybe it's your bottle. Maybe it's a cigar or a pipe.  We can't come to Jesus with the things that covered us instead of comforting because Jesus has a new coat. He has a coat of righteousness, a coat where you will feel loved and you will never feel rejection in your life. Again, a coat, a lie that maybe you told yourself, I am like this. I am bored like that. I am supposed to be like that. Your coat has to be removed.   The coat has to go. Maybe it's a coat of sin, coat of shame, rejection, whatever you put on yourself to keep yourself warm and cozy. And not only that, you have to leave your bag or cup. You have to leave what you've been filling yourself up with. Maybe it's the rejection of people's lives. Maybe it's the things that you let get into you. You have to leave the things you always dependent on to fix you, to give you a boost, to give you a happiness, to give you that fix. You have to leave the cup of bitterness, cup of sin, cup of things, cup that makes you angry at your life and everybody else that's passing you around. You have to leave if you want to see Jesus. But I want to let you know that when you are leaving those things, you are coming to a greater season. You have to leave the common comfort spot that maybe you and your homies have it because Jesus is calling you to something so much greater that your coat and your cup will never satisfy you.


Hey guys, what is up welcome to my channel for today's video I am going to be playing with makeup that just really Excites me some of this is new makeup some of this is older makeup But I'm just excited to put them on my face First of all, I want to take a quick moment to thank Beck of Scarlett for sponsoring at today's video I'm going to be using a couple of their products in this video And I was really excited to partner up with them because they are a high performance high quality and makeup brand that is Breaking the boredom of clean beauty Honestly, they did not look like a clean beauty brand to me at all and then when I realized they were clean beauty I was like I was shook because their products are so cool and so innovative They are 100% vegan and cruelty free and they like I said, they're clean They have a list of over 1500 ingredients that they don't use in their products I really enjoyed this last week playing around with the products that they sent me just because they were so Different to me and really exciting for me to use the fact that they were clean was just like the cherry on top for me And I've heard of Beck of Scarlett for a few years now And I feel like they've recently Rebranded in a way that I think is really working for them because before they didn't really interest me But this whole rebrand and new website that they have going on the products that they are coming out with are just different And you guys know I try makeup all the time. So when I get excited about some products, that's a pretty big deal So a couple of the items that I've been trying out are these dual drama liquid eyeliners These are really cool. One side of the eyeliner is black, but the other side is the part that really excites me They have a duo chromed liquid liner on the other side This is what I'm going to be demonstrating in one of my looks then the other product I'm really excited about are at the three-way solid lip oils So I'll be demonstrating those as well very unique product I haven't seen much like this really ever think that's caught my eye like this Those will be using the video if you see anything that you like You can click the link in the description box and use my code Which is on the screen right now to save 20% off on your first order of deck of scarlet without further ado Let's get into playing with products that just excites me. I'm going to bring you in closer Okay, so the first thing that I'm going to use is from Rare Beauty. This is fairly new This is the poor diffusing primer They did send this to me in PR and I've heard great things about it Now my skin is very well hydrated right now I spent this morning masking really caking on some of my charlotte's magic cream because my skin was feeling really thirsty And now we're feeling really good. So I think I'm good on the hydration end. I have not used this one yet So I'm really excited. Here's what it looks like. Let's see how this does on the skin so I had a little bit of my Laneige cream skin mist that I applied beforehand on and I almost mattified that I don't know if you can see But this actually feels quite hydrating for being a pore minimizing primer Oh, I love the way this is making my skin feel now. I don't know that it's covering my pores We'll see. I don't really have the biggest issue with pores. I mean, I do have pores But it's never been a real concern for makeup for me. They're still a little bit on the smaller side But I appreciate that this has some hydrating factors in it So we'll see how makeup applies over top now for foundation today I'm going to be using a foundation I've used before and it was initially very exciting for me But my first experience with it wasn't so great. So I want to test it out again This is the morphe filter effect soft focus foundation I was really excited about this initially because I felt like the packaging was just so luxe And they also partnered with denastomyrix to help them out with the shade range on this And I did try it out one time and I'll be honest. I was not a huge fan of it So I'm like determined to make it work. So that's what we're going to do. I got the shade Medium nine and it is so light on me. You guys you can see my watch tan. Oh my goodness I've been teaching outside and gotten a little bit of color despite even wearing a mask Like I feel like my forehead is a little bit more tan than the actual rest of my face because I wear a mask outside But anyways, my first experience with this foundation was weird because it wouldn't stay on my cheeks But when I tested it, I was also testing a new primer, which I'm also doing today So probably not the smartest move, but I want to see if it actually sticks to my cheek today Maybe it was that primer or was it this foundation? We will find out now if you're my skin tone This shade is weird. I thought I don't know with denastomyrix partnering with them on this foundation Like I'm not a medium skin tone. So I don't know why I'm wearing the shade medium nine The name is a bit deceiving. Okay. I can already tell I like this better today. Do I love it? No, I'm gonna apply a little bit more My cheeks the tip of my cheeks today was extra dry. I do not know why so we'll see how it reacts over that Yeah, again, we still have that weird thing going on where it doesn't really Hover my cheeks. It doesn't want to sit on it as well. I will say it's better than the first time I applied it but you can see it's just not sitting on the cheek right here. It's always right here It's not normally an issue. I have with foundations if ever really I don't think that's ever been an issue at least not for a long time I need to put a headband on got this one from forever 21 a few years ago But anyways the rest of my skin I think looks really really nice It's just the fact that it's not sitting on my cheeks very well But the rest of my skin looks nice. It has like a good medium Coverage I would say because you can definitely see my skin through especially now that it's getting warmer and my freckles are coming out You can see my freckles through but it's very pretty on everywhere except for my cheeks Very weird. I don't have any new and exciting brow products or concealer. So I'm gonna do that and then I'll be back Okay, my brows concealer is done. I'm going to do things kind of in a weird order But this it makes sense in my hand I don't know if it'll make sense to you, but it makes sense in my head So I've been really excited to try this kaja play bento blush and bronzer trio and how it works Layered so the first layer is a cheek color. You have a highlight and then the last layer Is a cream bronzer now Why I'm so excited about this is they have eye trios that are in this form and I absolutely love those So I had to try this now this wasn't to me from kaja, but I was going by this I've been eyeing this so hard. So for now I'm gonna dip back into this probably for the highlight Not the blush. You'll see why but I want to try the cream bronzer I got even more excited when I saw that this had a cream bronzer I thought that was so clever and by the way, this is the shade number one butter up I'm going to use my sponge. This is how I prefer to apply my cream bronzers And let's see what I think let me move my mirror up so I can see better So this one is really light and natural like they do have shades two and three as well I gave my shade number three away just because I felt that that would be too deep for me So maybe number two would probably show up a little bit more of me, but this is a really nice subtle bronzer Really pretty. I mean it's applying with ease. It looks really good No, I love a cream bronzer and I get so excited about cream bronzers because they just look so Skin like and seamless. I actually really like this color on me. It's just nice light natural I like the cream bronzer. We're gonna come back to this I'm gonna put it over it to the side because we are going to powder the face now. This did excite me I just really liked the concept of it. I'm sure most of you were like Morgan That's not that exciting but I did love the concept of the jacklyn cosmetics brighton and set complexion Um, I liked it because they have so much coverage to them or at least that's what she advertised Now I did do a review video on this palette and I liked it. I didn't love it So I'm still kind of playing around with it. So I wanted to play with it Like I'm still excited to use it, you know and see what the different colors offer me So I'm going to use this shade right here and I'm going to use this on the under eyes to brighten up And I do like the color that I chose for this palette because the colors really do brighten my under eyes without being too white So if you're my skin tone, the light medium palette is the best for us And it's a decent powder as far as quality goes. I do recommend using a brush I find that when I use it thicker like with a sponge As she recommends it looks a bit dry to me So I'm going to go pretty light today because my makeup in general is looking a little bit thick on my face today I'm not in love with how the face makeup is looking today But you can see that really brightens up the center of my face So I may come back to this a little bit later I'm going to put it to the side for now because I just wanted to set my under eyes But I like this. I don't love it, but I do think it has some versatility to it That's really nice that I do appreciate. Let's move on to eyes Now this is one of the products that truly inspired this video So I waited six months for this palette to arrive.  They did not expect it, which is why this took six months Now Am I happy about waiting the six months? No, but when it's all said and done I think this color story is so inspiring and again, I've been so excited to play with it This is kind of what this whole video is based around. It will be doing a restock of this I'm not sure the details right now. I think they're still trying to get through the original orders But eventually there will be a restock on this. I haven't tried it on my eyes swatching so far It seems to be beautiful. So I'm really excited to give this one a go cash The colors she chose are just they're everything. Okay. I'm gonna go pretty it's simple and monochromatic for today I think because there's a product that I'm going to use next that I want to work hand in hand with this palette So I'm going to go a little bit more blue and green today. I think no normally You'd probably think I'd go purple, but I'm feeling like more greenish bluish because of the color of my shirt So we're going to start off with this shade right here Now they do have some fallout if you can see that I got some fallout, which is fine Just tap my brush off and we're going to start this off very slow I'm going to work slow with this because I'm not familiar with the formula We're going to blend this into the crease. This is like the perfect Puky green but like grungy puky green and that blended out really nice This color I feel like can be a difficult color to work with but they did a good job with that While I'm here. Let me quickly run this along the lower lash line Okay, let's build. I want to do like a swampy greenish bluish kind of look We're going to go into this shade right here This one's like a little bit of a teal green kind of shade But I think it will be pretty cool in the outer corner again This can be a color that's very difficult to work with and formulate But so far seems to be working great And I'm actually in surprise how well this looks and is working with that trappa shade Okay, so that blended in very nice together great matte quality I've got to use this kind of chartreuse shimmery shade handbook and I just I wanted to go everywhere So that's what we're going to do. Absolutely stunning And it's applying with so much coverage quality is really nice I've never tried shroud cosmetics eye shadows before but they are not Disappointing have I think two videos on my channel that are titled Why indie shadows are better than high-end and this is a new brand to me But that title also applies to this indie brands just do it best And I've only used three shades, but so far.  I love the colors. Betty Jean pulled for this. So pretty I hope you can see why this palette inspired this video and why it excited me so much I'm going to get a smaller detailed brush. We're going to use the shade at Sam right here Which this is such a good versatile centerpiece for this whole palette Because I feel like it goes with all the shades that you see and we're going to put this on the inner corner as the highlight Super pretty now. It does have some depth to it. I wouldn't say it's like a brightening highlight I'll probably go in with something a little bit brighter after this But I did want to incorporate it in this look right there because I'm just I have such a heavy Interaction to this chartreuse shade I'm going to just put it everywhere like the inner half of the lower lash line I'm gonna just go all out with it because it's working beautifully with a finger It's working beautifully on a brush assuming that the quality is consistent with these four shades that I've used for today's look Can't go wrong with the quality. I think I need to track this brand out a little bit more Okay, I think this is the look that we're gonna do. I know it's crazy But the next product I'm going to use is also crazy officially fan of shroud cosmetics I think these shadows have Superb quality the color story on beddie jeans and is perfect six months was a long time to wait for it But I'm more than happy I picked it up and hopefully when they restock it it would definitely be worth it I'm assuming you don't have to wait six months But let's move on to the next product and we are going to deck of scarlet products Now this one is such a fun item. I'm was so excited to receive these These are called the dual drama liquid eyeliners. Now what they are as you can see They have dual chrome metallic liquid liner here at the end, which is part. I'm excited about now at the other side They also have a black liquid liner being 100 honest. I'm not a fan of this side It's not a brush tip applicator and I just really struggle to get an even application with the black I'm not a big fan of it. I'm not even going to bother using that side But I have had a much better experience with the metallic side. I'm really excited about them So I'm going to swatch them all for you just so you can kind of see what they're all about But let me show you this first color. This first one is solar flare It's a dazzling bronze duo chrome that flips green Gold and you guys now I have a hard time like showing the duo chrome But you can kind of see it in the actual product itself Deciding which one I want to use because I just feel like it's so perfect to use for this look Oh and just so you can see here's what the applicator looks like I find it this side a lot easier to use with the metallic rather than the black I feel like because the black side doesn't have that um even layer of pigment but hardly the metallic side does So this is the shade retro grade Which is a rosy plum duo chrome that flips golden olive and you can even see it right there This is a contender to use today. Actually just kidding. Okay. I'm actually using this one today This one will be perfect. So this one is interstellar. It's a vibrant teal duo chrome that flips cobalt blue I love these Okay, and here's the last one. This one is cosmic rays, which is a rich violet duo chrome that flips deep into go Taking a look at my look. I think the interstellar one is going to go best With my makeup. I'm going to be very silent applying this because I don't want to mess up And you can see how easily that applied as well I don't know why I have so much problems with the black side, but the metallic side is oddly easier to apply Okay, and there we have it. I mean obviously I don't think this these eyeliners are going to be a product for everybody But if you really like playing with eyeliners and doing something fun, I think you will really like these I think they would be really cool on their own as well without any eyeshadow on the lid for the duo chromes To really stand out But I think they do such fun things for a look like this like right now It might look a little bit funny But when you get lashes and stuff like that it really changes everything but we'll come back to the eyes I want to move back to the face because I have some products I'm really excited to use so I'm going to start off with a cream highlighter This one I spent an arm and a leg on it's so luxe and I've just been wanting to use it more So I picked this up during the Sephora VIP event and it's something that I Added last minute because I saw everybody using I also wanted to use it. So this is from westman atelier This is the super loaded tinted highlight I got the rose shade, which probably wasn't my best move, but it just looks so beautiful I was going to use it as a blush chopper, but it actually is more highlighty So I'm still kind of seeing how I like applying it So I'm using it today because I think it's so pretty and the packaging It's like so weighty. I love it I'm just going to put just a little bit right there as a base today And you saw I did set my face and I'm not a big cream liquid highlight person But this does really well over the powder. It's not disrupting the base that we have on underneath And can you see it's nothing's being disrupted so pretty if you like cream highlights? I mean so far I've had a really nice experience with these So I'm going to use that as the base for our highlight today And I've only used this twice prior and this is my third time using it and I'm liking it even more It's more subtle, but it's starting. Um, okay now blush There really is a standout blush that I'm super excited about and you should know Pat McGrath came out with her blushes I picked up seven shades Actually, I picked up six, but a seventh one came and it was too dark for me. So I gave it to my mom So let's see. I'm thinking this shade right here desert orchid It's going to be the winner today just because I feel like it goes best with the tones that we have I'm still getting my bearings about what colors I like from the line So that's why I want to use it today as well. Just to be able to tell you what colors I like the best This was such an exciting launch for me and many of you guys as well because we've been waiting for Pat McGrath To launch a blush. Now, I do have a whole review of them up already, but like I said, I'm still getting into it But yes, I think desert orchid is definitely going to be the winner today. Now these blushes are 38 dollars I don't know. It's you know, it's not worth going bankrupt over It's a blush formula, but I think they're a stunning formula as a blush fan. I can really appreciate the formula here I don't think it's worth buying a bunch of colors for you don't need the whole line But it's definitely a luxury to pick up one or two shades that you really like What makes this formula stand out to me as opposed to other blushes I feel like it's so blurring on this skin and this shade was perfect You see how easily it worked itself out very pretty. I have nothing bad to say about the blushes I think they're a bit expensive of course, but They're a great formula. Okay, let's bring it back to highlight I wanted to use another shade in the kaja since i'm skipping out on the blush because I mean Pat McGrath wins always But I will play with the highlighter that is also in here I might be a bit pinky for the look today But I want to use it and at least you know lay down some thoughts here about this And we do have the cream highlight underneath so it's going to be a little bit more blingy Which is what we want. Okay for this look Oh, that's really pretty. It's nothing groundbreaking and you can see some texture emphyseation going on right there But it's pretty. I mean I like the bronzer I like to highlight so far. I still have to play with the blush But this is a really cute little trio to carry around or to go on vacation with or to throw in your purse Okay, I'm just gonna throw on some eyelashes and we'll be back to work on the lips now I feel like this foundation is not doing me many favors So i'm looking like a little bit dry in this area It is what it is. It's fine. Anyways, the look really pulled together with eyelashes like I told you it would So pretty. Okay, let's move on to lips So i'm gonna start off by lining my lips with the m cosmetics Soft velvet blur lip liner in the shade fun. I've been really enjoying these. They're so easy to apply M cosmetics does a great job. I'm so happy to see michelle fun having such a successful makeup line It's a little bit of lip definition here. Okay, and the last product for lips This is one. Well, I just thought it was such a cool concept This is from deck of scarlet and these are called their three-way solid lip oils Now as you probably know lip oils seem to be very very trendy and I haven't seen like a solid lip oil So I was very intrigued and I've been loving these i've been using them for the last to be really great color selection I have one two three four five six colors that they sent me And they have so much more pigment than I thought they would they are so extremely hydrating here the swatches You can see the line of colors. Like I said, they're super pretty great wearable colors But also some fun pops as well for today's look. I'm going to use the shade nude ambition And these are made in south korea. So I think korea was very big on lip oil So I think they do a really good job with that. So how the product works, okay? It's just in this sleek black packaging The only thing that I do wish with the packaging is that there was something to indicate the color because if you have multiple ones Like me, um, you can't see what color is what but here's what it looks like. It comes in a stick form and you have to Push the button at the end to get the product up I did apply a lip liner underneath because these are really comfortable to wear without a lip liner If you're doing like a no makeup makeup kind of look to throw it on But since I'm looking for a little bit of longevity, I wanted a lip liner to just kind of hold the product a little bit better But look at that. You see how pigmented and glossy and hydrating that looks Not what I would expect a lip oil to be like my lips look huge So, um, yeah, these have been a really neat product. It can be a bit messy Which is why I definitely recommend a lip liner Especially if you're kind of building up the color because there is thickness to this and you don't want it to run All over your face, but it is Hydrating super glossy looking you don't need a lip liner. Obviously Hard to wear with masks. Don't wear it with a mask. But as far as every day, absolutely beautiful Very intrigued by the formula here. I think they did an awesome job with that And I definitely don't have another product like this in my collection. So I'm gonna back us up We're gonna talk a little bit about the products that I use today and finish this video up So we're gonna start off with the base. I started off with the rare beauty pore diffusing primer Like I said pores not my main issue here I I really don't know if it diffuses my pores, but I can say it does feel very hydrating So for a pore diffusing primer, I liked that it also had a hydration factor So this actually felt really nice on my skin. I'm not quite sure yet. It made a big difference The more I use this the less I like the morphe filter effect soft focus foundation Which is a shame because I was really excited about it. It looked like it would be a very high quality foundation But I'm just looking at my skin. It looks pretty thick sitting on my skin And it's just it's not doing me much favors. It looks a little bit drying So, yeah, not the best experience with that so far. I'm liking the kaja play bento blush and bronzer Trio here. I still need to play with the blush, but I'm really into the cream bronzer I love that they added the cream bronzer and the highlight is pretty as well kind of non-descript kind of in the middle But I just think it's so cute. I love these the jack lane cosmetics brightening setting whatever this is squad I think it's nice. I don't think it's anything you need to run out and get but if they ever have a sale I do like using this too bright and up and set the face. I think you know if you don't apply too much of the powder It looks really good.  I think it's fine the pat mcgrath labs blush Again, I've been very much enjoying these a lot not, you know, the best ground breaking blush formulation But I think the colors are beautiful application is beautiful and I've definitely been enjoying my time with these so far Westman atelier super loaded tinted highlight I'm still not sold on this because of the price while I did like it in that initial application as I took a look closer I did see a looking a little extra dry and like the product moved around a bit underneath of this So I still have to continue testing it which is a shame I was so excited about it because I just loved the packaging that it came in but not Completely sold on this one yet. Let's move on to the eye products that I use today Yes, this palette did not disappoint absolutely beautiful I can't wait to see what other looks I create with this because I feel like there is So much room for creativity in this little palette that has nine shades. I just I can't get over it. It's awesome and the Deck of scarlet dual liners as stated before the black sides not for me, but these metallic sides are so fun I really wanted to create a look where this product could also stand out and I'm very happy I feel like it added a little bit extra to this fun look So if you create a lot of looks where you feel like you could utilize something with like this I definitely recommend it I don't see a lot of products like these on the market And I think what makes these stand out is the pigmentation because a lot of times I feel like if I've had products like these The coverage was just so uneven on the eyes. I didn't really need to build up You saw the application it just went down with that coverage So that was really nice and then finally the lip oils again. This is such a fun formula It's a very popular style of product right now. I think it's going to be great for the summer So there we have it That was all of the new makeup that has been exciting me to use and I wanted to use it on a camera with you guys And again a big thank you to deck of scarlet for working with me on today's video Again, make sure you click below and use my code to save 28 off on your first purchase From deck of scarlet and take a look around they have some other cool products as well Not just the ones that I showed you today and that's all I have for today's video If you aren't subscribed to my channel already I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so and I will see you all in the next one Bye guys. Have a good one


The situation is dire in Ukraine. Ammunition shortages are critically disrupting operations. Ukraine's insufficient supply of ammunition means its soldiers can't hit the targets they want with even their most effective weapons, a US veteran now fighting in Ukraine told Business Insider. Such weapons include the US-made high-mobility artillery rocket systems with soldiers unable to use it to hit the same targets that they could earlier in the war when they had more munitions available. The veteran Jonathan Poquette told Business Insider. He said his unit had good support from Himmars, a long-range high-precision rocket launcher that can hit targets 50 miles away, but its effectiveness was degraded as rockets ran low. Poquette is a sniper with Chosen Company, part of Ukraine's 59th Motorized Brigade. Chosen Company is made up of international soldiers now fighting for Ukraine, and while it's technically a reconnaissance unit, it also does frontline assault operations and defensive work. He said that when he was not on missions, he would look at satellite imagery on computers, looking for targets, looking for batteries, artillery batteries that needed to get hit, looking for convoys, possible supply points of the Russians. He would then bring those targets to the Ukrainian Himmars operator who would then start the military's verification process to confirm the target and see if it was worth a hit. The next step would be to send off a rocket and boom, boom, target eliminated. Done. That was earlier in the conflict though. The supply of rockets began to dry up in October when Russia launched a new offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region and when Republicans in Congress started stalling billions of U.S. aid. As the supply situation at the front worsened, Pochette was often told we're not really interested in those type of targets right now when he would present potential strike options. That shift, he explained, was because we're running out of rockets. The unit started getting more and more selective with their targets, he explained. For example, they stopped trying to hit Russian training areas. They were once a good target, as that's where you generally have a collection of troops. And so, for one missile that impacts, you might take out 30 guys. So at that point, it's really efficient. Ukraine is running critically low on supplies, including ammunition for artillery and air defences. Many experts and Western officials have said that the situation is dire for Ukraine and that it could lose the war to Russia if it does not receive sufficient support. Russia may transfer fighter jets and air defense equipment to Iran. Russia is considering providing Iran with modern fighter jets and air defense equipment to protect it from Israeli and U.S. attacks. Military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran has reached a new level, reports The Washington Post. According to the data, Iran has opened a new dangerous chapter in its relations with Russia by agreeing to supply thousands of combat drones and missiles in 2022 to help Moscow in its war against Ukraine. The expanded ties helped cement deals between Moscow and Tehran, including Russia's promise to provide its ally with modern fighter jets and air defense technology that could help Tehran bolster its defenses against any future Israeli or U.S. airstrike. It is unclear how many systems have been delivered and deployed, but the Russian technology could turn Iran into a much more formidable adversary with enhanced capabilities to shoot down aircraft and missiles, officials and experts say. The arms deals, some of the details of which have not been previously disclosed, are part of a broader cooperation that includes joint production of military drones in Russia, sharing of jamming technology and real-time assessments of weapons deployed against NATO and in Ukraine, intelligence officials and arms experts said. According to them, this cooperation brings significant benefits to both countries, while elevating Iran's status from a junior ally to a strategic partner. Intelligence officials said that Russia is pushing forward with secretly concluded deals to supply Iran with Su-35, one of Russia's most powerful fighter bombers. On the defense side, Iran has long been asking Russia for the latest anti-aircraft missile batteries to protect its nuclear and military facilities from a possible U.S. or Israeli attack. In 2007, Tehran signed a deal to buy the Russian S-300 anti-aircraft system, but Moscow postponed the delivery of the weapon due to pressure from the United States and European states. The voluntary ban ended in 2016 and Iranian S-300s became operational in 2019. Since then, Iran has sought to acquire the more powerful Russian S-400 system, although it is not publicly known whether Moscow has taken steps to supply S-400 batteries. Some S-400 variants are equipped with radars capable of countering stealth technologies used by modern military aircraft. According to intelligence officials, Moscow also benefits from this cooperation. In addition to the thousands of drones purchased from Iran, late last year, Russia agreed to buy about $2 billion worth of additional military goods, including anti-drone defense systems, which have become a top priority for Russian generals in Ukraine. Russia's advances on the front line have caused concerns among Ukraine's allies as well. Yesterday Pentagon warned of Russia's gains on the front line. In a presser on Monday, Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Reiter said the situation was dire in Ukraine. You've got Russian forces that are making some gains on the front line. And it's absolutely essential that we get U.P. And it's absolutely essential that we get Ukraine what they need to include air defense capabilities so that they can check Russian aggression, defend their territory, and ultimately take back their sovereign territory. So we're going to continue to work very hard towards that end, Reiter said. The Pentagon official said it was important that the Congress pass the supplemental to ensure Ukraine gets the volume and level of support that they need to sustain the fight. Last week, Mikhail Podoliak, a senior advisor to Volodymyr Zelensky, said that Ukraine was running out of critical munitions and was urgently seeking help from its allies to tackle threat from Russia. He said the situation on the front line was critical as Russia was adopting new tactics of attacking power stations with up to 10 or 12 missiles at a time, bypassing already stretched Patriot and other missile shields.

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to this special edition of The Faith Book. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on this auspicious occasion of Eid al-Ghadeer, to you and to your family. And I know you're probably busy getting dressed, preparing yourselves for the celebrations. But here I am, I'm on the same TV myself, most inshallah, we'd like to extend our congratulations on this joyous and special and memorialous and glorious occasion of Eid al-Ghadeer. Now, 1400 years ago or for more, Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi went on his final Hajj. And on the way back, he stopped and he congregated his followers at a place called Ghadirkhun. There, he gave a special sermon where he raised the arm of Amir al-Mu'mineen and recited the most famous words, I'm going to mourn for Hathal Ali and Mourla.  And that is Ghadir, the celebration of our faith, the celebration of the perfection and the completion of our religion with the willyat of Amir al-Mu'mineen. I'd like to introduce myself, most inshallah, as your host and my co-host, my guest, my teacher, Sheikh Mohammed Abbas Banj. As-salamu alaykum, sheikhna. As-salamu alaykum, salam wa rahmatullah. Alhamdulillahi alladhi, ja'alana minal mutamassikina bi willayat, Amir al-Mu'mineen. As-sada la'ayyamakum wa yakdiya la hawaijakum. May Allah Azza wa Jala on this grand day of Eid, fulfill all your prayers and all your needs and desires together with all our esteemed viewers on Imam Hussain TV and the most important of all. We thank Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala for the ne'ma of recognizing the willyat of Amir al-Mu'mineen. As-salamu alaykum, salam wa rahmatullah. As-salamu alaykum, salam wa rahmatullah. Sheikhna, before I begin, Eid Mubarak to you on this special and joyous occasion. Eid Mubarak to you too. Sheikhna, Eid al-Qadir has been, you know, as recognized as one of the biggest Eids in the Shia calendar. A very, very important day. What is the significance of Eid al-Qadir? It's a fabulous question. And to be absolutely accurate and to shed light on this event, Eid al-Qadir is not only the biggest event in the Shia calendar. Rather, it has been the biggest event in every religious calendar that was monotheistic by nature. It is an Eid that is not particular to the Shia. 18th of the Hijjah, which the Shias are known in this day and age to celebrate as a day of Eid, as a grand day of Eid, was actually a day of Eid and celebration commemorated by 124,000 prophets. All of them from the beginning, we have hadith in regards to this, to understand the greatness of the Eve, which we are currently in. And to appreciate the ni'ma of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. And I say to every one of the Mu'aleen and the Mu'ibbin, Haniyan lakum for celebrating Eid al-Qadir because you are celebrating an Eid that was celebrated from every Nabi, from Adam to Musa and Isa and Yunus and Yul-Suf and Ya'aqub. Hadith al-Sharif is narrated by Imam al-Sadiq, salawatullahi wa salamahu alaih, in the book, Wasa'il al-Shia and is also narrated in tahdib al-akhkam, where in the part of this hadith, Imam al-Sadiq, alaihi salam says, in regards to Eid al-Qadir, wa huwa'idullahi al-akbar. It is the greatest Eid of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, 18th of the Hijjah, Benassil Imam al-Masum is greater than Eid al-Fitr, is greater than Eid al-Adha. In fact, the Fitr and the Adha has no value without Eid al-Qadir. And again, Nass from the Quran, we have in regards to this, but in any case. Imam al-Sadiq, salawatullahi wa salamahu alaihi, says, wa huwa'idullahi al-akbar. It is the greatest Eid of Allah Az-Zawajal, wa ma ba'ath Allah Az-Zawajal, nabiyyan, qatt, illa wa ta'ayyadah fi haathal yawm, wa arifah hurmatah. Imam al-Sadiq says, alaihi salam, there is not a single prophet that was sent by Allah, except that, wa ta'ayyadah fi haathal yawm, that he took this day, 18th of the Hijjah, to be a day of celebration, to be a day of Eid, wa arifah hurmatah. There is a hurmah, there is a divinity, there is a sanctity, which is associated to this day of Qadir. Fa alhamdulillah, haniyan lakum, and congratulations again to all our mushahideen, who are participating in a celebration, that was a celebration in which Nabi Musa and Harun and Yosha and Isha, and each and every one of them, and we are participating in. Alhamdulillah, wa shukr. Alhamdulillah, masha'Allah, Shaykhna. Shaykhna, let's go through the event of Qadir. So we have Rasulullah, Sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, doing his final Hajj, and then he's going back towards Medina, and he finds a strategically important, slash feasible location, where he can congregate all the Muslims. Just a couple of words, please, on the actual place of Qadir. What was Qadir? Is it an oasis? Is it a piece of derelict land? Is it in the desert? A strategic place in terms of the traveling route of the day, where from this point of Qadir ul-Khom, which is famously known, that all the caravans that were now dispersing throughout the entire other Muslim lands, this would be the final point of congregation. From this point onwards, they disperse to different travel routes or journey routes in order to get to their final destination. So it was a strategic location, which Allah Azza wa Jal, through Angel Jibrail, commands Rasulullah, even the place is chosen by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. And we have Nasir Nurgansuz from the Quran, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, wa ma yantiku anil hawa inhua illa wahyun, yuhah. The Prophet does not utter anything except that it is revelation.  For the place of Qadir ul-Khom, it's strategic position in that this was that final place where all the Muslims of the time are collected together in one point before this grand, eternal message is delivered. That's it. So the story goes that they made the pulpit, they used whatever materials, they had many saddles from the animals.  Roughly, how long did this sermon last? I mean, was it really, really hot? Was it easy to be able to listen and concentrate on the sermon? The timing which Rasulullah again, sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wasallam, selected in order to deliver this message was a very peculiar timing and a very unique timing in the sense that the heat was at its peak towards the time of noon from what we are able to understand or leading up towards noon. And so he selected the time which was extremely difficult upon the people. And within this, there is a great dalala such that we have within the books of the narrators and the historians that the heat was such that people had to cover their heads with cloths and some of them had to put cloth underneath their feet in order to withstand the heat of the sand. Those perhaps who are maybe not wearing any sandals or slippers or of that for the time. Fa, the heat was extreme. And over here, there's a great dalala, as we were saying, the prophet who was rahmatallil alamin, the same holy prophet who would hasten through the prayers of Jama'a when he heard a child cry such that his mother may catch up with the child. He hastens the Salat al-Jama'a. You can imagine this prophet of mercy. What an important message it must have been such that he congregated his companions at the time when the heat is at its peak. Of course, the heat was on the heat of the desert. And in addition to all that, the timing of the message just before or around the time of noon. So Insha'Allah, we'll go through the sermon a little later on. But, you know, the sermon goes as Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi discusses his authority over the people. He delivers his message.  The crowd agree. And then there is a system or there is Ba'a given to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen. Could you explain how the Ba'a was given? The oath of allegiance that was granted to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen, alaihi sallallahu alaihi sallam, is one way from numerous ways in which we are able to establish that the intended meaning from the usage of the word maula was master and not friend. Because the word maula, linguistically speaking, can have multiple meanings. And the word that has multiple meanings, a word hypothetically that has multiple meanings, the context in which it is used, there has to be a clarification through the context or through additional sentences that clarify the meaning of that word. So on the assumption that because this is a very famous, you could say, or widely quoted argument from the mukhalifin, from the amma and a very famously quoted argument the word maula means friend. So we say to them, from amongst the very many proofs that we have to show you that the word maula in itself does not mean friend, especially in the context in which it was used, one of the Dalil that we give them, one Burhan from the many Barahin that we have that we can give them is the fact that the pledge of allegiance was paid to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen after this declaration. And you have Masadir, you have references from the amma as well as the khassa that show that for three days. Wow, three days. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam ensured that people paid homage to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen. He pledged allegiance to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen for three days. Do you pledge your allegiance to a friend? For three days? Ajeeb wa gharib. Fa, you have texts such as what is at the top of my mind at Tabari, you refer back to Tariqat Tabari. The first people to come and to shake their hands and shaking of the hand at the time, again in the context in which this declaration is made, symbolizes a pledge of allegiance and this in itself is a vast topic of research is open for anybody to conduct and to try and prove us wrong on this claim. Ahlan wa marhaban.  Tariqat Tabari for three days, 100,000 plus companions under the watchful eye of Rasulullah paid homage to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen. This is the greatest or one of the greatest indications to show you that in addition to the many Kar'a in that we have, in addition to the verse quoted by Rasulullah of the Holy Quran when he said to them, alas tu awla, for example, min anfusikum, in regards to the verse of the Quran that the Holy Prophet is awla to you than you are, for yourself, he has more authority over you. And in this context, it says, man kuntum maula, fahadah aliyun maula, the follower, pledge of allegiance over three days, the Prophet would not make it compulsory for three days to people to just go and shake the hand of a friend. This goes against the hikmah of a normal human being. Then what about Rasulullah who is khatamul anbiya? That sounds good. Sheikh, what about the females? Were they present as well? And how would they have given bear to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen? We have within the historical text that Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhu alayhi wasalam had pitched a tent. And from the tent, what would happen is a curtain was also placed avail where the women would put their hands in a bowl of water. Amir-ul-Mu'mineen would put the hand on the other side of the bowl. If it's a big tash, for example. The women would put their hand in the water while Amir-ul-Mu'mineen's blessed hand was on the other side and they would verbally declare their allegiance to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen. So instead of the hand shake for the women, it was putting the water in the bowl in which on the other side was the hand of Amir-ul-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam. Sheikh, Ghadir is not really the first time Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhu alayhi has expressed his love for Amir-ul-Mu'mineen and that he is to be the successor. You know, a lot of scholars including yourself give great importance that this is not like a declaration of that this is my successor. This is more of like, you know, passing the administration of Amir-ul-Mu'mineen coming into power. All right. In the sense that Amir-ul-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam was an Imam and was the master, not only of the Mu'mineen but a master of the Anbiya with the exception of Rasulullah even before this world was created. The Imam was an Imam before this universe came into existence. The Imamate of Amir-ul-Mu'mineen as the successor of Rasulullah was declared in the event of the Awadud-ul-Asheera and this is something that is agreed upon again by the Amm and the Khasa. So these are facts that are mushrak between two schools of thought and anybody can go and research this and come up with this. You know, it's no hidden secret or a groundbreaking or new research that you have come up with discovered something that was unknown, no, something that is known. For Amir-ul-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam his leadership was already declared during the time from, you could say from the first time Rasulullah invited the people towards Islam and from his close people and warn those of your close relatives or your kin and Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Rasulullah says which one of you accepts my message to paraphrase and embraces my message and will therefore be my successor? Nobody stands up except Amir-ul-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam when he is allowed at that time of not more than the age of 1213 as they say. And hence it was from the very first messages of Rasulullah that this Khilafa is the Khilafa of Amir-ul-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam. So therefore Eid-ul-Gadir the message that Ali is Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib salawatullahi wa salamhu alayhi is your master is not the first time that it was granted but the official ceremony to execute the bay'ah the pledge of allegiance and this covenant as the successor of the holy prophet upon whom his command and his leadership is wajib for everyone to follow. This ceremony is what we mark as Eid-ul-Gadir. Ash-shalla'a, sen'shaykh ma'a. Ash-shalla'a, I remember from my studies as well that there was a time of the Battle of Tabuk where Imam Ali wasn't taken to the battle and a lot of people were saying that oh Rasulullah is upset with him this is why he hasn't taken you and when Rasulullah found out about this and he spoke to Imam Ali and told him that no, you are to me as Haroon is to Moses except there is no prophet after me. This was another indication of the relationship and also the status of Imam Ali being the Khalif after Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alaih. Moving on, sheikhna, to the actual sermon of Ghadir. Now, I've heard it's a very, very long sermon I've read some books on it and then I wanted to ask you what is the theme and what is the ceremony trying to underline? The historians mention the khutbah of Rasulullah as being an all encompassing sermon where the Holy Prophet speaks about or summarizes the entire deen and the efforts of these 23 years of tabligh in regards to this religion starting from its fundamental tenets and going into its furu'ah. For in addition to it being a summary of the entire deen you find that the person who studies this khutbah of Ghadir and it is a khutbah which almost you can say is obligatory upon every follower of Rasulullah. I didn't say follower of Amir al-Mu'mineen every follower of Rasulullah to try and study and to try and read and there are many indications in regards to this. You find that what I came across close to 38 times within this khutbah within this sermon that lasts for at least an hour if not more, 38 times. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam makes a reference to the superiority of Amir al-Mu'mineen sallallahu alayhi wa sallam 38 times in one sermon. And Rasulullah is a role model for us. Lakad kaana lakum fi rasulillahi uswatan. Hasana, indeed within Rasulullah there is the perfect role model for you and I say this to myself humbly to all the people who attend the majalis and I say this to all the people within the Hussainiyat within the different centers within the different mosques who are responsible for arranging majalis. Learn from Rasulullah the ehtaram and the need for having the majalis that are filled with the fadail of Mawlana Amir al-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam. In one sermon, one sermon Amir al-Mu'mineen mentions Ali ibn Abi Talib alayhi sallam 38 times. And now we come and we see a jeeb wa gharib the day and age in which we live. If a khateeb was to mention the fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen more than five times within one lecture people have alf-ishkal on him. Thousand and one ishkal the sheikh majalis wahwa. You know the way they mock the fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen people who are in charge of organizing the recites or organizing the majalis and they come and tell the khateeb do not overemphasize on the fadail. The one who listens to the fadail they come and they say oh no we didn't learn anything from a majalis fadail. Baba learn from Rasulullah. Find me one majalis even the khutaba where in one majalis you have 38 fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen that are mentioned but you find that Rasulullah mentions Amir al-Mu'mineen 38 times within this khutba. Fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen from the Quran in regards to the status of Amir al-Mu'mineen the divinity of Amir al-Mu'mineen the courage of Amir al-Mu'mineen the authority of Amir al-Mu'mineen the implications of abandoning the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen these are all things that are outlined within the khutba of Rasulullah I would say for the brothers and sisters do we have time or are we going on a short break? We have got plenty of time for the fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen. Ahshantum time for the fadail of Amir al-Mu'mineen. You find that if you were to refer back to Kitab al-Ihtijaj you find that the entire khutba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam in regards to Yawm al-Ghadeer can be found in Kitab al-Ihtijaj in the first volume. And it is also interesting to note that the khutba over here in regards to the manner in which Rasulullah speaks about the grave consequences of abandoning the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen. And from here we understand that the role of the successor of Rasulullah is to ensure that this religion is not corrupted upon the martyrdom of Rasulullah. As we were saying, you look at some of the mannerism in which Rasulullah speaks about the status of Amir al-Mu'mineen. In one part of the khutba, you see, from the entire khutba you'll find that majority of us know one sentence. Man kuntum maula faada aliyudus. Famous and the most re-uttered sentence. And it's yabarak al-abigh. And alhamdulillah, it has to continue. Because if people stop saying, on yawmul qadir man kuntum maula faada aliyudum maula, this is the first step towards trying to reduce the thicker of Amir al-Mu'mineen altogether. This is very good. It has to continue. And all of our children have to know even if they have a limited vocabulary or they can't speak at least, they know how to say man kuntum maula faada aliyudum maula. They have to continue. Bela shakkin wa la raiba. In addition to this, we have to look at this khutba of Rasulullah. What else did Rasulullah say yawmul qadir? The problems that we have within the Shia community, in regards to the willy of Amir al-Mu'mineen and the fadail of Ahlul Bayd, taking a kassam billah on a night as grand as Eid al-Qadir. Majority of our issues within the Shia community in regards to Akida would be solved. Disputes would be resolved. There wouldn't be ideological turmoil and ideological fractions or fragmentation of the community if people abided by the words of Rasulullah within this khutba tula qadir. Please, please give us a sample. Rasulullah says, ma'ashiran nas, innahu imamun min Allah O people, innahu, indeed he, yani Amir al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib, alaihi salam, imamun min Allah is an imam appointed by Allah Azza wa Jal. So first of all, this historical debate in which years and years blood has been shed, can an imam be appointed by the people or is an imam appointed by Allah? Rasulullah in one sentence makes it clear. innahu imamun min Allah a leader and imam appointed by Allah. Allahu akbar. Walayyatub Allah ala ahadin ankarawilayatahu walayyagfir lahu hajib Rasulullah says, and Allah Azza wa Jal shall never accept the repentance of a person who negates and rejects the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen alaihi salam. You have studied Arabic grammar and you find over here that when Rasulullah says, walayyatub Allah, yani, walayyatub Allah laam nun particle of negation. You have la, you have laam and over here you have laam nun, laam nun, laam nun a particle of negation that indicates present and future. abadan ilayum ilkiyama Allah does not accept the istighfar of a sinner so long as he rejects the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen alaihi salam. So from here we understand that one of the conditions of istighfar in addition to nadan in addition to being to feel guilty about it in addition to have feelings of regret in addition to making a vow that you will not repeat the mistake again in addition to uttering the word istighfar you need to have the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen alaihi salam. Shirt from the shurut of istighfar is there anybody from the Muslim ummah that says I do not need to seek forgiveness from Allah as-zawaja the door to istighfar is Amir al-Mu'mineen alaihi salam. Masha'Allah as-sen, sheikhna as-sen and on that note we're going to go to a small break insha'Allah and our special guest will be arriving believe it or not we have a special guest on today's show insha'Allah he will be joining us after the break see you then As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh I do not need to seek forgiveness from Allah as-sen and I seek forgiveness from Allah I want to take the opportunity to welcome our guest all the way from Kuwait I heard Mullah Ali Mehdi Welcome, welcome I hope your travels will save and sheikhna can you discuss with us the importance of reciting poetry and reciting on events like this? Absolutely you find that the recitations of poetry number one poetry was a common means through which historical events were recorded and transmitted from generation to generation and you have that even on the event of Ghadir upon the declaration of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam you have that Hassan ibn Thabit for example was one of the many people who composed poetry in regards to the occurrence of Ghadir and we have great Muslim poets over time and over the centuries who have come and have described the event of Ghadir in a very eloquent manner where a person is able in his mind through the poetic words of the poet he is able to capture the essence of the event in itself you find that even for example the Samahat Sayyid in his recitations you find that the words that are selected within this poetry there are meanings that are very deep in regards to your Akida how can the fire burn the fire of Jahannam burn a person who attests to the willaya of Ameer al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib and you find that these meanings are captured very beautifully very eloquently in poetry like the one recited by Samahat al-Bulla Alhamdulillah Samahat al-Mulla please if you give us one more halmum can you give us another one insha'Allah? insha'Allah Alhamdulillah Habibi we go Ali Ali Qaseem Wa Sayyid al-Mustafa Wa Sayyid al-Mustafa Al-Raa we were discussing before when you were giving the fadail of Ameer al-Mu'mineen you were saying that repentance will not be accepted without the willaya can we turn that around? not me saying this Rasulullah khatam al-anbiya Salallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam we turn this around and say that your deeds, your good deeds maybe your da'a will not be accepted without the willaya of Ameer al-Mu'mineen of course, the willaya of Ameer al-Mu'mineen is a shard from the shurut iqbal al-A'mal from apart from all the other fiqh conditions legalistic jurisprudential conditions that we have in regards to the acceptability of our a'mal the willaya of Ameer al-Mu'mineen is one of them and we have hadith in regards to this in fact you find that within our salat within our salat wajib prayers which is the prayers is the founding pillar of the religion within the prayers, within the salat you have attestation towards the willaya of Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi sallam to make it even more concrete to make it even more clearer surat al-hamd surat al-hamd again this is something in which there is ittifak between the amma and the khasa within your salat surat al-hamd the completion and the recitation of surat al-hamd is a necessary condition for the acceptance of your salat for the validity of your salat you cannot have a wajib salat without surat al-hamd sahiha you have between the amma and the khasa when you come forward and you look into the khutba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi sallam again referring back to kitab al-ihtijaj ma'ashir al-nas ana suratul lahil mustaqeem bi ittiba'ih thumma aliyun mimba'adi I am that straight path siraatul mustaqeem which you have been commanded to follow and after me this siraatul mustaqeem is who? in salat in surat al-hamd which is a wajib surat to recite in your salat and without surat al-hamd your salat is batil inside of that surat al-hamd when you say siraatul mustaqeem which siraatul mustaqeem who is this siraatul mustaqeem siraatul mustaqeem Rasulullah after Rasulullah siraatul mustaqeem meaning that in the wajib salat a person is saying to Allah guide me to the siraat of Ali ibn Abi Talib masha'Allah and without this your salat is not valid masha'Allah back to the mullah lousamah Aqeeqa sidaa masha'Allah he is saying thank you thank you thank you you have within the khutba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam where he himself outlines the responsibility of Eid al-Qadir to all the muslims and again I refer back to this khutba of Rasulullah where he goes on to say I have conveyed what was commanded to me in regards to Amir al-Mu'mineen by my lord to everybody who is present look at what Rasulullah says here the responsibility of Eid al-Qadir upon us is that we convey this message of Ghadir to those who either are not present or who don't know those who are not present from generation to generation this message of Eid al-Qadir this message in regards to the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen has to be passed on and has to be conveyed we need to invite people towards the willaya of Amir al-Mu'mineen those who are ignorant of this those who have never been given the opportunity in regards to the teachings of Amir al-Mu'mineen and to preserve this within our families and within our communities we have a command of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam to convey this message and ensure that it reaches from generation to generation our slogan is one aliyun waliyullah thank you very much for today thank you thank you enough for coming from Kuwait and joining us and to all the viewers at home wishing you from Imam Hussein TV congratulations on this wonderful occasion and saying farewell we will see you on the next episode of the Facebook saying ya Ali


What's good charge boy Ross back again with another video spring check out 20 times WWE show things you were not supposed to see Sometimes it happens Sometimes you're pro you end up seeing things that you know Obviously, they didn't want shown on television. That's the the wrist that you have with live television a lot of times It's kind of hard to cut out certain stuff that you weren't supposed to see or you hear some things that you weren't supposed to Hear on television. They don't have enough time to bleep it out. That's what makes live television live So we're gonna check out some of these moments, man Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's do anything anything can happen But not all of it is supposed to you over the years. WWE has accidentally shown us things They did not want us to see like we're feeling how Jeff Hardy actually does his stunts in 2008 Hardy fought in manga in a false count anywhere match All over the arena fun match outside fun Party not to manga off the side of a WWE production truck then Jeff joined him by hitting a swan ton bomb We didn't actually see the wrestlers hit the ground and there's a good reason for that After the action was over the camera move closer to get the aftermath However, they got a bit too close in the crash pad Obviously they have to have a crash pad because you're doing that on solid concrete will probably end up paralyzing you Anyone involved in the move so yeah The ref raises his arm to tell the camera crew that the crash pad has been moved There's one more crazy Jeff Hardy stunt the WWE accidentally exposed which I'll show you soon But first I have to apologize for this next clip Classic rivals the Miz and Dolph Ziggler fought each other in a beat the clock match on raw in 2013 Both men wanted to win the match as fast as they could but they went a bit too quick The a-lister rolled up Ziggler, but end up revealing too much of doll Oh, yeah, I apologize for that But this isn't the only wardrobe malfunction WWE is actually shown but you probably won't hate this next one I'm doing a women's Haiti match Rosa Vendis teamed up with Natalia against Samurai and Layla Rosa was trying to get back into the ring when they grab a little too hard That's an image none of those fans will ever forget now Wardrobe malfunction accidentally revealing that WWE isn't real in 2012 John Cena was in a feud with Kane the devil spirit demon had targeted Cena's friend Writers girlfriend e-tores on episode of raw can't kidnap Eve and this is when Zack Ryder was Systematically murdered off the stage dude was in the wheelchair and got thrown off the stage. I'll never forget that but I was like, yo this is Like you killed this to go a lot of time locked her inside an ambulance However during the live broadcast the camera cut too early And we saw Kane stand by the ambulance with Dave calmly walking into position You can even see a production member Start closing the doors at least Kane and Eve had a good excuse for why they weren't a character Sasha Banks did not The goal of wrestling is to make it look like the wrestlers are actually fighting one another That goal was not accomplished during the 2018 women's Royal Rumble match Sasha Banks is fighting Lita But instead of kicking your opponent the boss decided to kick the air around To make it even worse Reactive like the first kick actually hit her For not switching to a different angle Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time they showed something they really shouldn't have at clash at the castle in 2022 WB was showing close-up shots of some of the fans However, one family was wearing a shirt that said better dad when Chris Benoit Yeah, it's been law was the divvy wrestler who murdered his wife and son and killed himself And divvy does their best never to mention his name It's not surprising that WB removed this shot from all replays of the show WB also races next clip from history But this one is actually pretty funny the undertaker's entrance is one of a kind But his entrance at WrestleMania 31 was something special fans had seen the dead man since he's defeated by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30 finally almost an entire year later fans heard that unforgettable bell sound smoke filled the stage and out came Dave the tech guy Next clip illustrates how to get kicked out of a deputy show right back was always saying be be more and one fan Imagine your day to take guy you you're in the shot Yeah You're definitely gonna get a you're fired by Vince. You're definitely gonna get it Seriously, the big guy is wrestling the Miz on Raw when all sudden a fan jumped into the ring to get a piece of the action The deputy camera crew did their best not to show the intruder But he still managed to make it on TV to wrestlers also made it on TV and they quickly realized They weren't supposed to at the fully loaded pay-per-view in 1999 the rock lost a shot at the WB championship Thanks to Billy Gunn airfaring. Yeah, then faced off at SummerSlam and clearly didn't like each other That's why it was shocking to see rock and gun hanging out together backstage during the SummerSlam pre-show As soon as the rock saw the camera He got out of there as quickly as possible Something similar happened to the rock's cousin. That's funny. You know, we're not supposed to be walking together. Let me let me go Other way real quick. Yeah, but the situation was much different in 2017 France German attack for one reign backstage The beating was so bad that Roman had to be taken away in an ambulance However, fraud had other plans and decided to put the vehicle on its side This would have been devastating if the camera hadn't caught Roman Reigns shadow as the big That one wasn't too hard to catch but watch this next clip and see if you notice what the trick is I love this In order for Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho to see Roman Reigns at the same time Why did Jay raise his eyebrows to give KO the cue? Oh Wow, that was pretty smooth. He had to run. That's that was smooth. I love I love that little dynamic Man, that was great Just like any TV show WB needs to keep its shows on time It's tricky to do we have thousands of fans watching so WB has some subtle ways of communicating with the wrestlers During the closing moments of the 2008 Royal Rumble Batch It came down to Batista Triple H and John Cena However, they needed to wrap up the show soon So the referee give a hand signal to tell the guys how much time they had left Which was 10 minutes that was pretty low key But you could only miss this next trick if you weren't looking Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt were having a physical match on Raw in 2018 and it looked like neither man would stay down for the three count One of the reasons why was that they were secretly telling each other when to kick out Bray had laid out Reigns and gone for the pen However, the camera caught Roman touching Wyatt's boot Signal that he was kicking out now Maybe the cameraman was the one to blame here But this next mistake was entirely Randy Orton's fault during the main event of Smackdown Randy Orton fought his old rival Ray Mysterio The Viper was vicious and started ripping Ray's mask in half Orton ended up winning the match But that wasn't enough for him the apex printer was just headed there and slammed him into the rain post However, Ray's mask slipped off and his face was exposed This was not meant to happen and WB's production crew quickly made sure to cover the now unmasked Luchador WB also really should have covered Stephanie McMahon's hand and I miss Randy man. I miss his violent ways This next clip during a segment on Raw in 2013 Stephanie was in the ring with the big show and Miz WWE tried to hide it from us, but they couldn't on Stephanie's hand She had notes written on her palm to remind her what to say to Stephanie's defense wrestling talent has done this before Even the Rock was caught with notes on his wrist when he returned in 2012 The Rock was also caught on live TV breaking character at the final pay-per-view of 9 10 8 rock bottom The Rock and mankind fought for the WWE championship before the match Vince McMahon was visiting mankind in mankind's quote office a little later McMahon said goodbye to mankind and left however mankind somehow teleported and was in the hallway Having a friendly chat with his enemy the Rock. Well, that was crazy What was worse was when WWE exposed the secret of an entire match type Despite what WWE claims the steel ladders we see them use are not actually made out of steel They're made out of wood and paint silver and WWE proved it themselves at the 2009 TLC pay-per-view During a match between Christian Shelton Benjamin Captain charisma gave his opponent a frog splash through a ladder Before Christian went through it the camera showed exactly where the ladder had been cut in half So that it would break when the instant classic hit Also after Christian landed you could clearly see the wood the ladder was made of this next wb Secret was much easier to hide But it still ended up getting exposed back when he was being called the big dog The big dog When the Reigns had hit the ground causing a bunch of pyro to go off It looked pretty cool, but Reigns is still human in order to protect the big dog's hand WWE had a cushion for him to punch the camera could do their best to avoid showing this But sometimes it slipped into the frame now before his will like chip party stunt We need to watch something funny in 2009 jack swagger won the ecw championship and was getting pushed as a top star A few weeks after the big win swagger was walking out with the title looking like a million bucks when the belt fell from his waist He's a championship on the floor. All right.  It was a breathtaking moment But even one of the greatest raw moments of all time All time showed the replays. We never saw jeff actually connect with randy However, in the twist of fate hardy boys dbb WWE showed a clip from that stunt while it's brief You can see from this angle that jeff hardy actually landed next to randy oren and didn't hit him at all Well, it was a bad angle at least it was an embarrassing unlike what happened to stone cold steve austin at somerslap to see what Obviously him landing on him would probably from that height could definitely injure randy oren broken ribs all types of Broken bones like it He fell from a very very very very high spot So it made sense they do a little bit of camera trickery to make sure all the individuals were safe But either way It still looked go it still looked good. It's just one of those type of things where it's like, you know Sometimes it does, you know, you do have to slip up the occasional slip up And if you have fans recording at the time, you don't take much to pull out of camera And you can see exactly what's going on depending on what angle they're filming at But comment down below Let me know what are some of the moments from this video that you uh, didn't know Was the thing man, I didn't know roman range punching the little crash pad to protect his hand I didn't even know that was the thing So that was that was a little interesting little tidbit But I appreciate all love and support you guys are showing on the channel row to 150k And I am still young speedy youtuber son champ of the world and you're in the cluster where every way champion Appreciate y'all kicking me


The study examined the effect of b-related centers on the minority carrier lifetime in 4-H sick epitaxial layers. These centers were found to be a major factor in reducing the lifetime of the minority carriers, especially when combined with other defects such as Z1 slash 2. By adjusting growth conditions, such as growth temperature and carbon content, the researchers were able to reduce the number of b-related centers and improve the minority carrier lifetime. This could lead to improved performance of CC-based bipolar devices. This article was authored by Missa Gazella, Piyush Kumar, Marian E. Bathen, and others.


Cy Young contenders in the National League. Hunjin Ryu, look, he is the All-Star Game Starter. He has led the league in ERA, seemingly the entire year. Then Scherzer, brilliant, the Cy Young winner. Castillo has been a real pleasant surprise for the Reds. And then Mike Soroka, who doesn't quite qualify yet for the ERA title, but he will. He's close right now. He has also been brilliant, the All-Star for the Atlanta Braves. So the NL Cy Young favorite. TC, right now, who do you got? Well, I'm going with Ryu right now. You look at what he's done this season. You know, he's had some injury problems in the past, but now he's showing you how good he can be. I saw him a couple of years ago. He's got outstanding stuff. His command is outstanding. You look at all of his numbers. And at this particular point, I'm not going to count Scherzer out. The season is a long way from over. But right now, I'm going for Ryu. You know, I'm going to go with Scherzer. I was thinking Ryu, but the more I was delving into Scherzer and what he's done, and especially what he's meant to this Nationals ball club. Now Ryu has been the ace of the staff, but Scherzer has really brought the Nationals back into the playoff picture. And he's got pretty similar numbers to Ryu. But when it comes to strikeouts, much different. Almost 70, 80 more than Ryu. When you talk about pitchers' war, he's almost two points higher as well. And then you just talk about the competitiveness if you need to win a game. But most important for me, the Nationals, that first third of the season, they look like it was going to be one of the most disappointing years ever. And he is single-handedly, Scherzer has. I mean, he has continued to pitch. He didn't lose in June. Did not lose in June. And you remember that game where he'd come out at the bun of the ball, had the black eye, the nose, right? And then comes out in deals the next day. So I'm going to give it to Scherzer. I'm going away from my Dodgers. I'm going to Scherzer. They say that pitchers can't be leaders because they only play once every five days. Does he break that mold for you? Yeah, he's such a competitor. It's unbelievable. You watch him pitch and he's into it. I mean, he never wants to come out. He wants the ball every inning. Don't even mention pitch count to him. So yeah, I mean, that's why I said I'm not going to count him out. But you know what? It's always nice to have good pitching. And if the Nationals get themselves a little bullpen help, I mean, Max Scherzer, he's going to get it. You play those guys in a one-game series and he's on the mound, you got problems. That is a problem. But the only thing that could really stop maybe EKU argument or the Nationals or Scherzer is his health because he's not pitching against the Braves this weekend. It's not by choice. He received a quarter zone shot earlier this week and he's been on the Angelus dealing with inflammation and the burst of sack under his right shoulder blade. Nationals ace has not made a start since July the 6th. He has been able to play catch, but he says it kind of feels like a golf ball back there. So the Astros win. They beat the Rangers who are trying to hang in this playoff race four to three back-to-back-to-back home runs. Verlander, we showed you the home runs, but just the two-on runs and six innings. And so you look at the Astros, TC. We know they have Verlander and Cole, which is as good if not better than anybody else. We know they're bullpen back in. Last couple, really, really good. But do they need another starter? I mean, how desperate are they? Do you think for another starter if they're able to win the World Series? Well, I like Miley. Miley's a usable guy. He eats up a lot of innings for you, but they're going to need another starter. Last week they went back two games in a row where they had used the opener and didn't fair very good.  So I think for them, they've got a great club. They're a tremendous talent. You know, they've got the number one and number two, but they're going to need a fourth starter. Yeah, they have to get somebody to occupy that third spot in the playoffs, right? They're going to be fine, I believe, to get to the postseason. I don't think the A's catch them. But when you're talking about Verlander, Cole, and then Miley, Miley for me is your fourth or if you need a fifth starter, but not my number three. Because I'm going to go against teams that, you know, again, like if I get to the World Series and I'm going against the Dodgers, I could be facing Kershaw in the third game. Right. And I'm going Miley versus Kershaw and I just, I feel like they can go out there or they should go out there. It's the one thing that they need to do. They need to get one of those top of the line starters and put them in the third spot. Then they become the team to beat the Americans. The top of the line starter though, does that guy exist? And my second follow up to that would be, you know, we've talked about like a guy like Stroman who I think we all feel is like a middle of the rotation guy. Like, would he help the Yankees? Ah, not so sure. Would he help the Brewers? Not so sure. Would he though help them because they have Verlander and Cole? Well, I think he helps them. You mentioned those other teams, they get Stroman and they feel like he's got to be a top of the rotation guy, like a one or two. And I don't think he fits that bill. But I think his competitiveness, his stuff, you know, the arrogance in a good way, I think you put him in that third spot in Houston and he pitches above who he is. I agree. I agree.   You know, you're not looking to get seven innings out of these guys. You know, Verlander's going to give you seven, Cole's going to give you seven. And after that, if you get five, you're going to your bullpen. Heck, if you get three nowadays, Terry. Yeah, there you go. Good job, he gave us three, so let's go out of the pen. So we'll see what the Astros do.
