The 11th century and the emergence of the leader of the El Hashaashun group, Hassan Al Sabah

01x12 - Dream of Paradise

Post by bunniefuu »

The magic plant.

The plant of the other world.

On Hassan's way inviting

to his new school of thought.

He discovered a plant that

was named by Zaid Ibn Suhon.

The magic plant.

Just as I expected,

I found it here.

The magic plant.

The plant of the other world.

"If you wish to go to paradise"

It will guide you.

Hassan Al-Sabbah with a

small group of castle electees.

Managed to defeat the

mighty armies of the earth.

Armies of thousands

of conventional soldiers.

Including horses and equipment.

Nizam Al-Mulk sent to him

The strongest armies

of the Sultanate

But Al-Sabbah triumphed.

Retreat!

Retreat!

The Sultan's soldiers

fled from the strength and

brutality of the chosen

ones of Alamut castle.

An event that will

be recorded in history.

And spoken about by

the masses for centuries.

And spoken about by

the masses for centuries.

Stay with me, stay

with me, you won't die.

We're going to the castle.

Hassan the strong, smart man.

He will not let an

event like this pass unnoticed.

Yahya.

With those who

survived, let them go.

Take their weapons and horses, and

let them leave the castle unharmed.

Let them live.

They are the ones who witnessed.

The greatest armies on earth.

Defeated by the chosen

ones of our faith.

Let them herald our message.

Let them herald our message.

Hassan is a man who

exploits opportunities.

No matter what they are.

- Allahu Akbar.

- Allahu Akbar.

Barzak Amide

The loyal, and faithful.

Mawlana told me about

your triumphant return.

Praise be to Allah, our master.

Praise be to Allah, our master.

The whole world knew

the power of the Sheikh

of the mountain and

his faithful followers.

The Sultan and his minister

knew the strength of Alamut castle.

And history will remember that

a small group of believers

managed to defeat the

strongest armies on earth.

We won by the

blessings of the Imam.

And the blessings of

our master Hassan Al-Sabbah.

All believers are enthusiastic.

Anticipating the coming victory.

Today is a celebration day.

No training or maintenance.

And from tomorrow.

There will be a

different kind of training.

Meaning there is something our

master sees but has not announced.

I foresaw victory before

it even happened, Zaid.

And saw the armies of

King Shah fleeing and screaming.

And I saw the regret

in the king's regime

before his forces

surrounded the Alamut castle.

And I saw you before

I saved you in Isfahan.

Leave us.

Alamut castle won't fight again.

Do you know what's the most dangerous

thing Alamut castle can do, Zaid?

Not that it defeats a large army.

But that it topples great nations.

Imagine a single believer

from Alamut castle.

With a dagger and faith.

Capable of toppling a

strong nation that's been

established for years

with army and wealth!

It's terrifying and exciting.

And it changes the entire world.

You don't need to fight

a country to defeat it.

But to behead it

Mawlana wants to k*ll the Sultan.

The country's head

needn't be its Sultan.

The head might be

a thinker or a scientist.

Or a minister.

Hassan Al-Sabbah defeated our army.

And Arslan Tash retreated

with the remaining soldiers.

What's this, Sultan's minister!

An army of conventional fighters

defeated the Franks

Opened up countries

no Muslim has reached.

Is defeated by a group of 300 men!

Why? Who is this Hassan Al-Sabbah!

The entire world will talk about

the miracle this man has done.

The entire world will talk about

the miracle this man has done.

With a small number like this.

Breaking the strongest

armies on earth.

- My lord

- Quiet.

Stay in your home.

Until I decide what to do with you.

How for a man hiding in a castle

to defeat an army we

couldn't defeat it oursleves?

Your Majesty

Luck and intelligence

Play vital roles in battles

I don't want to wait for luck and trickery

I won't repeat what

has happened before

Your Majesty

I have an idea

Let's send a delegation to the castle

Asking for their loyalty to us

In return, we will help

them in their battles

Against Sultan Malik-Shah

Yahya.

Yahya.

Commander Harun.

Commander Harun.

Opened his eyes.

Thank god you lived.

I was going to send your

family news of your death.

I have no family.

I wish I had died!

I wish I had died instead

of returning like this.

No, Yahya.

You're neither a

coward nor a deserter.

You're neither a

coward nor a deserter.

Thank god you lived.

Our escape with you injured

amidst them is a miracle, Yahya.

The w*r isn't over yet.

I have only one breath

left, and it will take towards them.

Just get well

And I promise you, we will avenge

those who left us one by one.

You remind me of a brave,

rebellious girl. She was just like you.

You remind me of a brave,

rebellious girl. She was just like you.

But she turned her

courage into a different life

A life she can live without a heart

Without pain

Or regret or love

A rebellious young woman who

wanted to break out and rebel

What will be her punishment?

Death

But I'll give you another chance

to live

As long as none of

the believers saw you,

this is a sign for me

to give you this chance

But the price of your new life

But the price of your new life

is to be the link

between me and the girls

Any mistake by any one

of them will be your responsibility.

Which means her death

Or her life…

will be on you

- But I'm not able to

- I don't want to hear your voice

And remember well,

this is not forgiveness

I'm just continuing the

game of fate with you

Either continue your

life as I want

Or make another mistake

and I end your life

As I want.

To your room

How did you get in here?

What?

Al-Hadi changes the world with

his own hands, like his father!

No

Why is Al-Hadi not happy?

I'm bored, I want friends

my age to play with

I can play with you

And we can change the world

with our hands both of us

Let Al-Hadi, son

of Hassan Al-Al-Sabbah

fly from Baghdad to Isfahan

and sit in the place

of the Sultan and the Caliph

You are an adult playing an

adult game, I want friends my age

Don't you have

friends to play with?

I do.

And I play with them

And I play with them

Who are they?

They are

They change over time

But you like to sit with them

and see them from time to time.

Yes

In Isfahan, when I hit my

friend my mother got mad at me

And she told me

that a friend has rights

Over his friend, and

I didn't understand anything.

Friendship is not

an easy thing, Al-Hadi!

And a friend truly

has rights over his friend

And a friend truly

has rights over his friend

What are these rights?

For instance, don't upset him

Don't hurt him

Don't betray him

What does it mean not betraying my

friend! Does it mean not hurting him?

No

Betrayal means that

there's eating, living,

and drinking between

you and your friend

And secrets

And in a moment

you forget all of that

And in the midst of him trusting

you and turning his back

You hurt him or let

someone else hurt him

You hurt him or let

someone else hurt him

Is it possible for someone to

hurt his friend or betray him?

Possible.

Anything in this

world is possible, Hadi.

Except for one thing

That you allow someone to

fail you or hurt you again.

How?

Protect yourself all the

time from the enemy

And from the friend

What's wrong, Tusi?

You sleep less and you worry more

When a person grow

His trouble grow with him

What trouble?

The trouble of life

As a person grow older

His wisdom increases, and his

understanding of matters increases

But his worry increases

It increases, Julnar

Every time I hold

something with my hands

And I think I own it

I discover that the thing

is much larger than I thought

I discover that I

haven't owned anything

Politics and being close to the

Sultan has always been dangerous

His trust in me

diminishes day by day

And his conflicts

with the Caliph

Don't end

And it goes on

And it goes on

And it has been ended

by Al-Sabbah's victory

He banished me, Julnar

That's better!

Better, leave everything

Stay at your home

Just be an ordinary person!

And who will let

Nizam Al-Mulk rest?

You, Tusi, who wants to stay in

the battle until the last day of your life

You, Tusi, who wants to stay in

the battle until the last day of your life

This is my fate

My fate is the struggle

Struggling to prove my efficacy, and

to show my loyalty to the Sultan

And my struggle now

Is to regain the

Sultan's trust in me

A struggle that never ends

Except by the end

of Nizam Al-Mulk

And Hassan Al-Sabbah?

Hassan Al-Sabbah has

become a legend, Julnar

Hassan Al-Sabbah

Has become a legend

What's the matter, defeated one?

What?

A miracle!

It's not a miracle, master.

It's not a miracle, master.

But it's cunning planning

and remarkable perseverance.

We were fighting against

fearless people.

And who have a

strong belief in falsehood.

If it wasn't for the army's

ethics, order and strategies.

We might have eradicated

this fortress from its roots.

But we were fighting people.

The devil is driving them.

You're a liar!

You're a Seljuk leader!

You're a mere pawn.

You talk about the allure and

beauty of a man who broke her.

I don't want to

see your face again.

Write a detailed report.

Write a detailed report.

Recuse yourself in it.

If it weren't because

I don't want people to

say that the Sultan

is k*lling his leaders.

I would have hanged you on

the palace gate as a lesson.

Leave!

Our Lord tells you that

He is pleased with you.

And tonight is a night

of joy and happiness only.

There's no training.

Stay up late and enjoy.

A night where joy

and happiness are allowed.

A night where joy

and happiness are allowed.

And He promises you a great day,

where the victory will be complete.

A day when the ancient laws will be lifted

and the resurrection will take place.

A resurrection you

will live happily, with no

restrictions or conditions,

Halal or Haram.

And until that day arrives,

enjoy a restricted joy tonight.

And from tomorrow we resume our

training, our targets, and our ambitions.

- Long live Hassan Al-Sabbah!

- Long live our master Hassan Al-Sabbah!

- Long live the crusher of the Seljuks!

- Long live the crusher of the Seljuks!

- Long live the crusher of the Seljuks!

- Long live the crusher of the Seljuks!

- Long live the holder of the paradise key

- Long live the holder of the paradise key

What's every man's dream, Barzak?

Rest.

Wealth.

Happiness.

And where can one find

rest, wealth, and happiness?

Certainly not in this world!

In the afterlife!

In paradise!

In paradise!

And since we're

still in this world.

And since we're

still in this world.

What can we offer to our loved

ones for the dream of paradise?

A dream that promises and assures

them that paradise is possible.

And he who presents

the dream of paradise

Can achieve their

entry into paradise!

Who can offer this dream?

The keeper of the key to paradise.

And he who sees the dream.

Will always long for the truth.

Will always long for the truth.

- That's why I ordered

- The time for talking is over.

It's time to make dreams.

Who among the young

men has more faith

in the holiness and inspiration

of the keeper of heaven's key?

God help you eat this time!

There is no hunger.

There hasn't been

hunger since yesterday!

What's wrong?

What am I doing here?

You're teaching the young men.

And clarifying the true religion.

Why?

Because it's your

role as a scholar.

You save young men from ignorance.

Or for the sake of money?

And prestige?

And proximity to the Sultan?

Imam Ghazali said

Imam Ghazali wrote

I often wonder if all this

I often wonder if all this

is genuinely for God's sake?

You are more aware than I am

about the importance of knowledge.

Is it science

or the scientist?

Could it be that

while I teach people

I am learning?

All that I do

for the love of knowledge

or for the love of this world?

It feels like I'm climbing

a mountain barefoot.

And once I reach the top

I throw myself into the

biggest pit of fire beneath it!

Oh my dear, I'm

with you whatever you choose.

But I don’t like

seeing you like this.

Then there is no

other choice but to leave.

The Sultan and Nizam

Al-Mulk won't accept it.

I truly want to perform pilgrimage.

And nobody will

refuse me performing it.

And afterward, I

will go to Damascus.

Maybe I'll find myself there.

O Allah, I intend

to go on a journey

with the intention of

pilgrimage, God willing.

with the intention of

pilgrimage, God willing.

O Allah, cleanse my heart

from hypocrisy and showing off.

Show us the truth as truth

and grant us to follow it.

Show us falsehood as

falsehood and grant us to avoid it.

He is ready for the mission.

Are you reassured?

Are you reassured?

I'm reassured.

Has he done his training?

Yes

Has he fasted, prayed,

and read the verses?

Yes

He shall enjoy it

waiting for the order.

My lord Zaid Ibn Suhon,

the greatest missionary!

By yourself!

Who knows who else

you might see, and your

eyes will be delighted

to behold their sight!

Who?

Our master.

Come closer, Saad.

Sit down.

Open your palm, Saad.

The scent of the thresholds of

paradise is a gift from our master.

The scent of the thresholds of

paradise is a gift from our master.

Come closer, Saad.

Come closer.

Come closer, Saad.

Saad!

Oh, Saad!

It's time for the chosen one

to enter the dream of paradise.

It's time for the chosen one

to enter the dream of paradise.

Oh, Saad!

I was created especially for you!

I was created especially for you!

I've been waiting for

you for 30,000 years!

Imagine!

30,000 years of love.

30,000 years of longing.

Saad!

Oh, Saad!

We guarantee you go to it.

And guarantee your return to it.

Finally, God has written

for me to see you!

This is the grace of God.

He gives it to whom He wills.

Praise be to God

In a single day

You entered paradise and saw me.

I can't believe

Because you are my beloved

Are you ready?

I miss you.

I miss you.

Just as you saw me here.

You will find me there,

opening the door for you.

There?

Yes.

And you're still alive?

Come on.

The matter is bigger

than your imagination.

Tomorrow, with the first

rays of dawn, I will be on

Tomorrow, with the first

rays of dawn, I will be on

my way to the Abbasid

caliphate palace in Baghdad.

He must be confined to his borders.

My master.

I have previously

warned against the

foolishness of something

like this happening.

I warned him!

He may flee to any

place before I reach him.

And he has asked

for a two-month extension.

Not a day!

My master.

The sultan of the earth does

not retract a decision he has made.

The sultan of the earth does

not retract a decision he has made.

Tomorrow, I will be

on my way to Baghdad.

I will move at

my own pace and hunt.

He will be fortunate

with my slow movement.

To enter Baghdad

While he is not in his palace.

And you must travel with me.

What have we hunted

as we entered Baghdad?

Many deer, my master,

and a strange-looking animal.

A strange-looking animal!

A strange small animal.

Bigger than a cat

and smaller than a deer.

He has many horns, my lord.

What would it taste like?

You will taste and decide.

What's on our minister's mind?

My lord, the Sultan.

This place, my lord

Many companions fought

here in the time of our master,

Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, may

Allah be pleased with him.

And a great number of

them were martyred here.

And a great number of

them were martyred here.

So, its sand is valuable.

Then let me be blessed

by this precious sand!

May I have permission

to move, my lord?

Allah is the greatest.

Allah is the greatest.

Give from your Lord's

bounty, our master.

Increase from your

generosity, our master.

Grant us from

your gifts, our master.

Grant us from

your gifts, our master.

Leave them.

We won't ignore anybody

on the face of this Earth.

Give us, our master.

Increase our share of

your good, our master.

Give to me, my lord.

From your bounty, master

Injustice rules the world.

We made a covenant to change it.

Men's nature is to uphold pacts.

But there are no

pacts with traitors.

There's no pact with

those who reject the truth

and support the oppressor

against the oppressed.

and support the oppressor

against the oppressed.

There's no pact

with Nizam Al-Mulk

My soul is a sacrifice

to the key bearer of heaven!

Our master!

And the damned rebel was k*lled on

that day of the month of Ramadan.

By the hands of

the chosen martyr boy, Saad.

By our command.

My lord.

My lord.

My lord.

And the Seljuk Sultan, Malik

Shah, followed him to hell.

With a poison we

secretly set from our spirit.

Praise be to Allah.
