That number is recorded, not exaggerated: the rest of the community, terrified after the massacre of Karbala and the later massacre at Harrah, quietly turned back. It fell to Imam Sajjad, peace be upon him, the fourth Imam, to rebuild from that number of three — not through open confrontation, which would have finished what the massacres started, but through thirty-five years of supplication, correspondence and a network built in plain sight. His central instrument was Sahifa al-Sajjadiyyah, a collection of prayers that reads as devotion but functions, the session argues, as encoded theology, ethics and political instruction — sermons hidden inside supplication, composed for a period when a spy could be standing in the next room. He also wrote directly: a surviving letter rebukes a former student, now installed in the service of the ruling elite, for confirming their lies and dressing up their injustice as piety. How do you lead a revolution when a single careless sentence could end it? What the evening covers Three men. Who remained loyal to the Ahl al-Bayt in the Hijaz in the years right after Karbala, and how their number began to grow again. The book of whispered prayer. How Sahifa al-Sajjadiyyah turned supplication into theology, ethics and a coded blueprint for renewal. A letter to a former student. A surviving rebuke to a scholar who had entered the service of power. A government postponed. Why a promised restoration was delayed a further seventy years. ## Scripture > اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَرَى وَ لا تُرَى وَ أَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى وَ إِنَّ إِلَيْكَ الْمُنْتَهَى وَ الرُّجْعَى وَ إِنَّ لَكَ الْآخِرَةَ وَ الْأُولَى وَ إِنَّ لَكَ الْمَمَاتَ وَ الْمَحْيَا وَ رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُذَلَّ أَوْ أُخْزَى > > O Allah! You see yet are not seen, and You are at the highest vantage point, and the ultimate end and return of all things is unto You. The Hereafter and this world, death and life—all belong to You. O Lord! I seek refuge in You from being humiliated or disgraced. — *Mafatih al-Jinan, Supplications (Duas), Dua that Jibra'il (Gabriel) Taught the Prophet (PBUH), Line 1* ## Programme - [Watch the full session](https://youtu.be/KdsCVXWHMXs) - [Sermon: Imam Sajjad: The Whispered Revolution](https://youtu.be/KdsCVXWHMXs) - [Nohe: Eshqe Beynol Melali (International Love)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jlf7v3kWSI) - [Ziyarah: Ziyarat Aal-e-Yasin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPAXX8kgRe8) ## Other sessions in this event - [Session 69 — Shaykh al-Ta'ifa](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/shaykh-al-taifa) — 12 August 2026 - [Session 26 — Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba: A Life of Strategic Sacrifice](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/imam-hasan-al-mujtaba-a-life-of-strategic-sacrifice) — 20 May 2026 - [Session 3 — Keeping God's Limits](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/keeping-gods-limits) — 10 December 2025 - [Session 44 — Guardian of the Final Proof](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/guardian-of-the-final-proof) — 19 November 2025 - [Session 43 — The Imam of Preparation](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/the-imam-of-preparation) — 12 November 2025 - [Session 42 — Networks of Guidance Under Siege](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/networks-of-guidance-under-siege) — 5 November 2025 - [Session 41 — The Charter of Wilayah and The Light in the Garrison](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/the-charter-of-wilayah-and-the-light-in-the-garrison) — 29 October 2025 - [Session 40 — Generous Protection and The Fortress of Faith](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/generous-protection-and-the-fortress-of-faith) — 22 October 2025 - [Session 39 — Youthful Authority and Eternal Clarity](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/youthful-authority-and-eternal-clarity) — 15 October 2025 - [Session 38 — The Theology of Her Ziyarah](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/the-theology-of-her-ziyarah) — 8 October 2025 - [Session 37 — The Journey That Founded a City](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/the-journey-that-founded-a-city) — 1 October 2025 - [Session 36 — Imamate Beyond Thrones](https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/imamate-beyond-thrones) — 24 September 2025 --- _Read this session on the web: https://www.truthpromoters.com/events/imam-sajjad-the-whispered-revolution_
