- Relating back to Eid-e-Zehra speech and the concept of Rahman and Raheem as attributes of God (https://youtu.be/glETjSOBT-Q)
- The last Prophet described as a reflection of God's qualities and virtues, especially his mercy
- The Prophet of Islam was a mercy for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Even those who did not accept his message, he extended his mercy to them also.
- Narrating and describing verse 8:33 related to the above concept, along with an explanation by Imam Ali
- The people of Mecca opposed the Prophet, used labels about him, put him and his family under socio-economic boycott for three years, and finally they planned to assassinate him, and he was forced to migrate to Medina. Then they waged battles against him, eventually he made peace with them in 6AH. When they violated the treaty in 8 AH, the Prophet took Mecca without any warfare. 
- The minimum that Allãh is asking from us is kindness & justice to others.

- Under the “Who is Husayn?” project, food is distributed for homeless in downtown every two months in the name of Imam Husayn.
