I made this video clip from the 50 part series of Sheikh Safdar Razi about Imam Mahdi (atf). I feel this is very important for everyone to watch, especially those on social media. I hope we can all learn a valuable lesson from the message the sheikh had to share with us. May Allah protect us from falling into this type of behavior. May Allah hasten the return of our beloved Imam (as) to put an end to the fighting and unite all of his shia under his banner.
