Imam Hussain and the Legacy of ProphethoodSupport After Maghrib. Become a partner or make a one-off donation today: https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain As the blessed month of Muharram begins, Ahmed and Sayed Ali are once again joined by a dear guest scholar Sayed Mahdi Al-Modaressi. In this episode, we explore the deeper meanings and hidden dimensions of Ziyarat al-Warith, the powerful supplication recited in Muharram majalis, where Imam Hussain (AS) is described as the inheritor of the Prophets of Allah (swt). But what does this title truly signify, and how should it be understood beyond its surface meaning? We examine how the Imam continues the divine mission of all previous Prophets, and what shared characteristics of prophethood can be witnessed in the events of Karbala on the day of Ashura. The discussion also turns to the Quran and divine guidance, alongside relevant hadith narrations that help us better understand and reconcile this profound theological idea. Perfect for those interested in Islamic history, Shia theology, Muharram reflections, Karbala, Ahlulbayt (as), Quranic studies, and deeper spiritual understanding of Ashura.

Become a partner or make a one-off donation today:* https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain In this episode of **After Maghrib**, we discuss the rise of Islamophobia and, more specifically, the growing visibility of **anti-Shia hatred** in public discourse — including conversations surrounding high-profile figures such as Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Tommy Robinson.At a time when hostility towards Muslims is increasingly amplified online and in politics, how should we respond? Rather than allowing fear and division to define us, we need to understand the world around us, educate ourselves and remain grounded in our faith.We reflect on the hatred and opposition faced by **Rasool Allah (s)**, how he responded to hostility, and what his example teaches Muslims today.Is it becoming **Muslims vs the world** — or is our responsibility to rise above that mentality?
The Role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) After KarbalaSupport After Maghrib. Become a partner or make a one-off donation today: https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain Shaykh Abbas Jaffer joins us to discuss the powerful role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) after the tragedy of Karbala. We explore how decades of Umayyad propaganda left the people of Sham unaware of the true status of the Ahlulbayt (as), while the people of Kufa knew the truth but were overcome by hypocrisy, fear and apathy. Shaykh Abbas examines Sayyeda Zainab’s historic sermons in Kufa and Sham, her fearless confrontation with Yazid and the Qur’anic eloquence that shattered his claim to victory. Despite captivity and unimaginable grief, she exposed the Umayyad regime, preserved the message of Imam Hussain (as) and declared that the remembrance of the Ahlulbayt could never be extinguished—a promise proven by millions today.
