“By the Lord of the Kaaba, I have succeeded.”

by Matt Jones

Footage has emerged of one of the nurses stood down over a vile anti-Semitic rant leading a prayer about martyrdom.

Rashad Nadir, 27, was filmed at a Sydney mosque leading a Noha or Nawha.

The Islamic elegy commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali in the historic Battle of Karbala.

Nadir passionately sang the poem in front of dozens of fellow Muslims in a nearly seven-minute clip posted by his brother to YouTube in June 2020.

The video of Nadir was uploaded exactly two months before the refugee, originally from Afghanistan, was granted Australian citizenship. 

The clip was deleted on Wednesday night, hours after disturbing footage emerged of Nadir and his Bankstown Hospital colleague Sarah Abu Lebdeh, spouting anti-Semitic hatred to Israeli influencer Max Veifer.

'It's Palestine's country, not your country you piece of s***,' Abu Lebdeh told Mr Veifer.

Both Nadir and Abu Lebdeh claimed they 'won't treat Israeli people'. Abu Lebdeh added 'I'll kill them', and Nadir was filmed making a slicing gesture over his throat. 

Nadir later insisted his comments were 'a joke and a misunderstanding'.

He vowed to apologise to the 'Jewish community and anyone I've offended' as soon as he had spoken to police, who are now investigating the pair.

'It was a joke, a misunderstanding … I will use social media, anything, to apologise but I need to go and see the detectives first,' he told the Daily Telegraph.

'I didn't mean to offend. It wasn't meant to be like this.'

His brothers and sons, the sons of his sisters and the sons of ‘Abd Allāh b. Ja‘far (as) said: “We will not leave you to make ourselves continue living after your (death). Allāh will never see us (do) such a thing.”

Al-‘Abbās b. ‘Alī (as) was the first of them to make this declaration. Then the (whole) group followed him, (all) declaring the same thing.

“Sons of ‘Aqīl,” said al-Ḥusayn, “enough of your (family) has been killed. So go away as I have permitted you “

“Glory be to Allāh.” they replied, “what would the people say? They would say that we deserted our Shaykh, our lord, the sons of our uncle, who was the best of uncles; that we had not shot arrows alongside them, we had not thrust spears alongside them, we had not struck swords alongside them. (At such an accusation) we do not know what we would do. No, by Allāh, we will not do (such a thing). Rather we will ransom you with our lives, property and families. We will fight for you until we reach your destination. May Allāh make life abominable (for us) after your (death).”

Then Muslim b. ‘Awsaja arose and spoke: “Could we leave you alone? How should we excuse ourselves before Allāh concerning the performance of our duty to you? By Allāh, I will stab them with my spear (until it breaks), I will strike them with my sword as long as the hilt is in my hand. If I have no weapon (left) to fight them with, I will throw stones (at them). By Allāh we will never leave you until Allāh knows that we have preserved through you (the company of His Apostle) in his absence. By Allāh, if I knew that I would die and then be revived and then burnt and then revived, and then scattered, and that would be done to me seventy times, I would never leave you until I met my death (fighting) on your behalf. So how could I do it when there can only be one death, which is a great blessing which can never be rejected?”

Zuhayr b. al-Qayn (as) spoke: “By Allāh, I would prefer to be killed and then recalled to life; and then be killed a thousand times in this manner; and that in this way Allāh, the Mighty and Exalted, should protect your life and the lives of these young men of your House.”

All his followers spoke in a similar vein, one after the other. Al-Ḥusayn (as) called (on Allāh to) reward them well and then went back to his tent.

Northern Harrier

Hatch year female

Roqaya came to Karbala crying in the lap of Abbass,

The sanctuary bacome the thron of Allah

When both worlds said

Abo Al fadhal has came

And the judgment day happened

‎به چشمانِ گهربار در آغوشِ علمدار

‎رقیه وارد کرب و بلا شد

‎حرم عرش خدا شد

‎دو عالم يك صدا شد

‎ابالفضل امد و
