People are of Three Kinds

"A slave of Abu Al-Hassan (عليه السلام) has said, ‘In the presence of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Musa (عليه السلام) was a man from Quraysh, who went on to mention the Quraysh and the Arabs. Abu Al-Hassan (عليه السلام) said during that: “Leave that! These people are three (types) – Arabs, and ‘Mawālī’ friends and faithless. So we (عليه السلام) are the Arabs, and our (عليه السلام) Shiites are the friends, and the one who is not upon the like of what we are on, so he is faithless.” So the Qurayshi said, ’O Abu Al-Hassan (عليه السلام)! You are saying this, so where are the prided ones of Quraysh and the Arabs?’ So Abu Al-Hassan (عليه السلام) said: ‘It is how I (عليه السلام) have said it to you.’

The Eternal Promise: Allah's Mercy to the Ummah of Muhammad (SAW)

Sahl b.

The Elevated Status of Young Quran Reciters: Rewards of Recitation in This Life and the Hereafter

Minhal al-Qassab from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If a youth among believers recites the Holy Quran it gets mixed in his flesh and blood. The Almighty Allah would keep him with virtuous and honored angels and the Holy Quran would act as a shield against the fire of Hell for him on the Day of Judgment. The Holy Quran would say, ‘People who acted upon anything except me have got their result. O Allah! You give the best rewards to these people’. Allah would make the reciter of the Holy Quran wear two dresses of Paradise and keep the crown of honor on his head. Allah would tell the Holy Quran, ‘Are you satisfied now?’ It would reply, ‘I desire a better reward’. Now Allah would grant peace from right and an eternal Paradise from left and then make him enter Paradise. He would be told in Paradise, ‘Go on reciting a verse of the Holy Quran and your position will go on increasing by one level for each of them’. Then the Holy Quran would be addressed, ‘Are you pleased now?’ The Holy Quran would say, ‘Yes my Lord!’” Imam (a.s.) says that one who recites the Holy Quran much and is regular in it, the Almighty Allah would grant him this reward twice.

Twelve imams determined by Allah

“When the Prophet (S) died, a Jew man of the descendants of Dawood (Prophet David) came to Medina and saw the streets empty. He asked what the matter was. It was said to him that the Prophet (S) had died. He said: “Indeed he has died on the same day mentioned in our Book.” Then he asked where people were. It was said to him that they had been in the mosque. He came to the mosque where there were Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Abdurrahman bin Ouff, Abu Obayda bin al-Jarrah and a great crowd of people. He said: “Make way to let me come in and lead me to the one, whom your prophet has entrusted with his umma!” They led him to Abu Bakr. He said to Abu Bakr: “I am a Jew and I am from the descendants of Prophet David (as). I have come to ask about four things. If you answer me, I become a Muslim.” He was asked to wait a little. Then Amirul Mo’mineen Ali (as) came in from one of the gates of the mosque. People said to the Jew: “Go to this young man!” When he came near to him, he asked: “Are you Ali bin Abu Talib?” Imam Ali (as) said to him: “Are you so-and-so the son of David (as)?” He said: “Yes, I am.” Imam Ali (as) took the Jew’s hand and came with him to Abu Bakr. The Jew said to Imam Ali (as): “I asked these people about four things but they sent me to you.” Imam Ali (as) said: “Please ask!” The Jew asked: “What was the first thing that was revealed to your prophet when he came back from his Lord after his Ascension? Who was the angel that pushed your prophet away and did not greet him? Who were the four men, from above whom Angel Malik had removed a cover of Fire and who had talked with your prophet? In which position of Paradise will the minbar of your prophet be?” Imam Ali (as) said: “The first thing that Allah has revealed to our prophet after the Ascension is: (The messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord).” The Jew said: “It is not this that I mean.” Imam Ali (as) said: “Then it is (and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah).” He said: “It is not this that I mean.” Imam Ali (as) said: “Then let the matter be hidden.” The Jew said: “You are to tell me the truth. Are you not the one, whom I mean?” Imam Ali (as) said: “As you insist on that, I shall tell the truth. When the Prophet (S) came back from his Lord, where the screens were opened before him, and before he got to the place of Gabriel, an angel had called: “O Ahmad!” The Prophet (S) said: “Here I am.” The angel said: “Allah sends you His greeting and says to you: “Deliver Our greeting to the master of guardians.” The Prophet (S) asked: “Who is the master of guardians?” The angel replied: “He is Ali bin Abu Talib.” The Jew said to Imam Ali (as): “You are right. I have found that in my father’s book.” Imam Ali (as) said: “As for the angel, who had pushed the Prophet (S) away, he was the Angel of Death. He had come from an arrogant of the people of the earth, who had uttered something that made Allah angry. Then Gabriel said to the Angel of Death: “This is Ahmad, the beloved messenger of Allah.” The Angel of Death came back, embraced the Prophet (S), apologized and said to him: “O messenger of Allah, I went to a tyrant king, who uttered bad things that made me very angry so that I did not know you.” The Prophet (S) accepted his apology. As for the four men, from above whom Angel Malik had removed a cover of Fire, that when the Prophet (S) passed by Angel Malik, who had never smiled since he had been created at all, Gabriel said: “O Malik, this is Muhammad, the prophet of mercy.” Then Malik smiled to the Prophet (S) and he did never smile to anyone else than Muhammad (as). The Prophet (S) said to Gabriel: “Order him to uncover a layer of Fire!” He uncovered a layer of Fire and there appeared Qabeel (Cain), Nimrod, Pharaoh and Haman. They said: “O Muhammad, ask your god to send us back to the worldly life in order to do good!” Gabriel became angry and with a feather of his wing he returned the layer of Fire upon them. As for the minbar of the Prophet (S), the abode of the Prophet (S) is the Garden of Eden, which Allah has created with His (hand). There are twelve guardians will be with the Prophet (S) in this Garden. Above this abode there is a dome called the dome of ar-Radhwan (contentment). Above the dome there is a house called al-Wasseela (the means), which no house in Paradise looks like it. It is the minbar of the Prophet (S).” The Jew said: “By Allah, you are right. This has been mentioned in the book of my father David (as). The book has been inherited by one after the other until it has reached me.” Then he took out a book written by Prophet David (as) and said to Imam Ali (as): “Give me your hand! I witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. It is he, of whom Prophet Moses (as) has informed. And I witness that you are the jurisprudent of this umma and the guardian of the messenger of Allah.” Then Imam Ali (as) began to teach him the laws of Islam.” The Book of Allah, the traditions of the Prophet (S), Imam Ali (as) and all the imams one after the other had confirmed that the number of the imams is twelve. No one among the Shia denies that the book of Sulaym bin Qayss al-Hilali is considered as one of the important books of the doctrine of the Shia. All that is mentioned in the book has been narrated from the Prophet (S), imam Ali (as), al-Miqdad, Salman al-Farisi Abu Tharr and their likes, who have accompanied the Prophet (S) and Amirul Mo’mineen (as). It is one of the sources that the Shia have depended on and referred to.

"From Memory to Majesty: The Quran's Eternal Reward for Its Readers"

If a young believing person reads the Holy Quran, it mixes with his flesh and blood. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will include him among the honorable and virtuous carriers of the message of Allah and on the Day of Judgment the Holy Quran will be his supporter. The Holy Quran will say, ‘O Lord, every worker has received the reward for his deeds except my worker. Provide him the most honorable reward.’ Allah will then dress him with two dresses of paradise and crown him with the crown of honor and then ask the Holy Quran, ‘Did We make you happy?’ The Holy Quran will say, ‘Lord, I wished for him better than this.’ Allah will then give peace in his right hand, eternity in his left hand and will say to him read from the Holy Quran one verse and go one degree higher. Then the Holy Quran is asked again, ‘Did we reward him good and make you happy?’ The Holy Quran will say, ‘Yes, Lord.’ “The Imam said, ‘If one reads the Holy Quran very often and faces difficulties to memorize it due to weaker memory, Allah will give him twice as much reward.’”

Twelve imams determined by Allah

the Prophet (S) had said: “This religion will not be harmed by its enemies until twelve caliphs, who all are from Quraysh, pass away.” The traditions narrated by the Sunnis concerning this subject are so many. The traditions show clearly that the Prophet (S) has meant by the twelve caliphs the twelve imams of his descendants. The tradition, saying that commotion will take place, refers to the commotion that will happen after the end of the rule of Imam al-Mahdi (al-Qa’im), the commotion that will last for fifty years. Several twelve rulers have ruled after the Prophet (S) or after Imam Ali (as), who has been the only true caliph. Definitely the Prophet (S) has referred by his sayings to the twelve infallible imams of his progeny, who are with the Qur’an and the Qur’an is with them and who will never part with the Qur’an until they come to the Prophet (S) at his pond in Paradise. Furthermore there are other evidences mentioned in the Torah confirming our subject. It has been mentioned in the first book of the Old Testament when talking about the story of Ishmael and after the end of the story of Sara. Allah has addressed Prophet Abraham (as), concerning the matter of his wife and her child, by saying: (I have responded to your prayer regarding Ishmael. I have blessed him and I will do more and more. He will beget twelve great men. I will make them imams as a great nation.) Abdul Haleem bin al-Husayn as-Samriy read to me what a Jew man called al-Husayn bin Sulayman, who was one of the Jewish jurisprudents, had dictated to him in Arrajan. The names and the number of the imams (as) had been mentioned in Hebrew. From among what he had read to me was this passage: “One of the descendants of Ishmael will be delegated (as a prophet). He is called Mabad or Mamad that it means Muhammad. He will be a master over people. From his progeny there will be twelve men. They will be imams and masters, whom people will imitate. Their names are: Taqobeet, Feethwa, Thabeera, Mafssora, Massmoo’a, Domoh, Thabo, Hathar, Yathmo, Bator, Nouqass and Qeedmuwa.” The Jew had been asked about these names and he said that they had been mentioned in the story of Prophet Solomon (as). He had mentioned another passage of the story: (From the progeny of Ishmael a blessed boy is born. My blessing and mercy be upon him. Twelve men of his progeny are honored and glorified. The name of this man is elevated and glorified and his mention is exalted.) This speech was read to Musa bin Imran bin Zakariyya the Jew and he confirmed it. Iss’haq bin Ibraheem bin Bakhtwayh Bahsoon al-Fasawi and Sulayman bin Dawood an-Noubenjani, who were Jews, confirmed it too. The Qur’an, the traditions narrated by the Shia from the Prophet (S) and the infallible imams, the traditions narrated by the Sunnis, the previous divine Books and their followers has confirmed that the imams are twelve ones. After all, is there any excuse for the deniers and the resisters? These are sufficient evidences for those, whom Allah has guided to His pure religion and straight path. Surely those, who deny the infallible imams, will lose. Allah has said addressing His prophet: You are only a warner and (there is) a guide for every people. In every age there is an imam, by whom Allah guides those who follow him and believe in him and He leaves those who deny him (the imam) and turn away from him to their own opinions and analogies.

The clay from which the believers and unbeliever's are made

Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, created the prophets from the clay of ‘Illiyiyyn (paradise), both their bodies and souls. He made the hearts of the believers from such clay and He made their bodies from a world lower than that world. He created the unbelievers, both their bodies and souls from the clay of Sijjin (fire). He thus mixed the two clays. For this reason children of unbelievers become believers and vice versa. For this reason the believers get afflicted with evil and unbelievers receive good things. Thus, the hearts of the believers incline to that from which they are created and the hearts of the unbelievers incline to that from which they are created

Twelve imams determined by Allah

“This religion will not be harmed by its enemies until twelve caliphs, who all are from Quraysh, pass away.” The traditions narrated by the Sunnis concerning this subject are so many. The traditions show clearly that the Prophet (S) has meant by the twelve caliphs the twelve imams of his descendants. The tradition, saying that commotion will take place, refers to the commotion that will happen after the end of the rule of Imam al-Mahdi (al-Qa’im), the commotion that will last for fifty years. Several twelve rulers have ruled after the Prophet (S) or after Imam Ali (as), who has been the only true caliph. Definitely the Prophet (S) has referred by his sayings to the twelve infallible imams of his progeny, who are with the Qur’an and the Qur’an is with them and who will never part with the Qur’an until they come to the Prophet (S) at his pond in Paradise. Furthermore there are other evidences mentioned in the Torah confirming our subject. It has been mentioned in the first book of the Old Testament when talking about the story of Ishmael and after the end of the story of Sara. Allah has addressed Prophet Abraham (as), concerning the matter of his wife and her child, by saying: (I have responded to your prayer regarding Ishmael. I have blessed him and I will do more and more. He will beget twelve great men. I will make them imams as a great nation.)

Keeping to the rope of Allah

“One day the Prophet (S) was sitting with his companions in the mosque. He said: “A man will come to you from this gate. He will be one of the people of Paradise. He asks about what concerns him.” Then a tall man looking like the people of Mudhar came in. He advanced, greeted the Prophet (S) and sat down. He said: “O messenger of Allah, I have heard Allah saying in His Book: (And hold fast by the covenant (rope) of Allah all together and be not disunited). Then what is this “rope” that Allah has ordered us to keep to and not to separate from?” The Prophet (S) pondered long and then raised his head and pointed with his hand to Ali bin Abu Talib (as) saying: “This is the “rope” of Allah. He, who keeps to him, will be saved in his life and will not be deviant in his afterlife.” The man jumped and embraced Imam Ali (as). He said: “I have kept to the rope of Allah and the rope of His messenger.” Then he left. A man from among the people got up and said: “O messenger of Allah, do I follow after him and ask him to pray Allah to forgive me?” The Prophet (S) said: “Then you find him pleased.” He followed him and asked him to pray Allah for him. He said to him: “Did you understand what the Prophet (S) said to me and what I said to him?” He said: “Yes, I did.” He said: “If you keep to that rope, then Allah will forgive you; otherwise He will not forgive you.” If the Prophet (S) had not declared for us the rope of Allah that He had ordered us in His Book to keep to and not to separate from, then the opponents would have interpreted it according to their fancies and turned it away to other than what Allah and his messenger had meant. But the Prophet (S) had said in his speech he made in the mosque of al-Khayf during the last hajj (farewell hajj): “I shall precede you (to Paradise) and you will come to me at the pond, whose width is as between Busra and San’aa. It has cups as much as the stars of the sky. I have left to you the two weighty things; the great one is the Qur’an and the minor one is my family. They both are the rope of Allah. It is extended between you and Almighty Allah. If you keep to it, you will never go astray at all. One of its ends is in the hand of Allah and the other is in your hands.” It has this addition according to another tradition: “The Most Kind has told me that they will not separate until they come to me at the pond (of Paradise) together like these two forefingers. (He gathered his two fingers).” The same was narrated by Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah bin Younus al-Moossili from Muhammad bin Ali bin Ibraheem bin Hashim from his father from his grandfather from Muhammad bin Abu Omayr from Hammad bin Eessa from Hurayz from Abu Abdullah Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Ali (as-Sadiq) from his father from his forefathers from Imam Ali (as). Also it was narrated by Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah from Muhammad bin Ali from his father from his grandfather from al-Hasan bin Mahboob and al-Hasan bin Ali bin Fadhdhal from Ali bin Aqaba from Abu Abdullah (Imam as-Sadiq). And the same was narrated by Abdul Wahid bin Muhammad bin Ali from his father from his grandfather from al-Hasan bin Mahboob from Ali bin Ri’ab from Abu Hamza ath-Thimali from Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali al-Baqir (as). The holy Qur’an always has been with Ahlul Bayt and they always have been with the holy Qur’an. They both are the rope of Allah. They never separate as the Prophet (S) has told. This is an evidence for any one, whom Allah has guided to His true religion, showing that whoever resorts to other than the holy Qur’an and Ahlul Bayt, whom Allah has made the guardians after the Prophet (S) and made obeying them as one of the necessary obligations of religion, in looking for knowledge and orders of the Qur’an and all the religious affairs, definitely will go astray and perish and cause others to perish. Ahlul Bayt were those, whom the Prophet (S) had offered as the highest examples to his umma. He said: “My family to you is like the Ark of Noah. Whoever rides on it will be safe and whoever lags behind it will drown.” He also said: “The example of my family to you is like the Gate of Forgiveness of the Israelites. Whoever enters it his sins will be forgiven and will deserve mercy and blessing of Allah.” Allah has said: “…And enter the gate making obeisance, and say, forgiveness. We will forgive you your wrongs and give more to those who do good (to others).” Imam Ali (as) said in one of his speeches: “The knowledge that Adam has brought from the Heaven to the earth and all the virtues of the prophets until the last of them, Prophet Muhammad, have been granted to Ahlul Bayt. So whereto do you go astray? Where do you go, O you, who have been derived from the people of the Ark? As some only had been saved there, here also some only will be saved. Woe to one, who opposes them (the infallible imams).” He also said: “We, to you, are like the cave to the People of the Cave and like the Gate of Forgiveness, which is the gate of peace. So be in peace all of you.” He also said through his speech: “The loyal companions of Muhammad are certain that he has said: “I and my family are infallible. Do not precede them in order not to go astray, do not lag behind them in order not to fall in mistakes, do not object to them in order not to be ignorant and do not teach them because they are much more aware than you. They are the most aware when young and the most aware when old. Follow the truth and its people wherever they are and be far away from the untruth and its people wherever they are.” But unfortunately people brushed all that aside. They considered the orders of the Prophet (S) as ridiculous and raving. They refused to follow those, whom Allah and His messengers had ordered to be obeyed. Allah said: “So, ask the followers of the reminder if you do not know.” “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you.” The Prophet (S) confirmed many times that safety was bound by keeping to Ahlul Bayt, doing according to their sayings, submitting to their orders, learning from them and walking in their path; nevertheless people resorted to others than them and ascribed their virtues to those others. They became pleased with those others and so Allah deprived them from the true knowledge. They began to interpret according to their fancies and analogies and they became satisfied with their own minds away from the guidance of Allah, His messenger and the infallible imams, whom Allah had appointed to be the guides for His people. When they brushed all that aside and depended on their own opinions, Allah left them to stray in confusion and deviation and consequently they perished and caused others to perish. Allah said: “Say: Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds. (These are) they whose labor is lost in this world’s life and they think that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands.” As if people had not heard the saying of Allah: “And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Messenger. O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend.” So was that “messenger” but Muhammad (as)? And who was that “one” mentioned in the verse? Immediately after that Allah said: “Certainly he led me astray from the reminder after it had come to me.” It meant after acknowledging Islam and becoming a Muslim. Then what was that “reminder” which that one’s friend had led him astray from? Was it not the holy Qur’an and Ahlul Bayt? Allah had called the Prophet (S) as “reminder” when He said: “Allah has indeed revealed to you a reminder; a messenger.” And when He said: “So, ask the followers of the reminder if you do not know.” Was the “reminder” mentioned in the verse but the Prophet (S)? And who were the “followers of the reminder” save the Prophet’s family? Then Allah said: “…And the Satan fails to aid man.” Definitely the Satan would lead his followers away from the “reminder” and then they would lose in this life and the afterlife. Allah said expressing the Prophet’s situation: “And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Qur’an as a forsaken thing.” They became indifferent to the Qur’an, to which and to Ahlul Bayt Allah had ordered them to keep. Did this blame not concern the people, to whom the Qur’an had been revealed? Did it not concern the people of this umma, who had wronged their Prophet’s family and left the Qur’an aside? It was they, whom the Prophet (S) would witness against on the Day of Resurrection for they had preferred the pleasures of this life to their religion out of doubting Muhammad (as) and envying his family because Allah had favored them with great excellences. The Prophet (S) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, some of my companions will quiver right and left. I will say: O my God, they are my companions. It will be said: O Muhammad, you do not know what they have committed after you. Then I will say: Away with them! Away with them!” Allah confirmed this by saying: “And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful.” This verse had a certain evidence that there would be some people, who would turn back on their heels after the death of the Prophet (S) and who would deny the orders of Allah and His messenger. Allah said: “…Then let those beware who withstand the Messenger’s order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them.” Allah would double torment and disgrace for those, who wronged the Prophet’s family and deprived them of their rights and who changed the orders of Allah when He ordered that they (the Prophet’s family) were to be obeyed, loved and taken as guides. Allah said: “Say: No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin.” “… Is then He Who gives guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you? How judge ye?” The true believers of the umma had agreed upon that Imam Ali (as) was the guardian of the Prophet (S). He guided the companions to the truth often and always and none of them ever guided him. They all were in need of him but he was not in need of any of them. He knew and taught all kinds of knowledge but none of them ever taught him a bit. They did wrong to Fatima, the infallible Prophet’s daughter, to a degree that she (as) recommended in her will to be buried secretly at night and that none of her father’s umma was to offer the prayer (prayer for the dead) for her except those few ones she had mentioned. If there was no calamity in the history of Islam bringing shame and disgrace other than the calamity of Fatima (sa) until she left to the better world angry with her father’s umma leaving her bitter will that no one was to attend her burial except very few loyal companions, it would be sufficient evidence for the ignorant and for those, whose hearts were sealed, to see what a great sin they had committed when they wronged Fatima, her husband and her sons (peace be upon them) and when they preferred the oppressors to the Prophet’s family, who were the elite of Allah. Allah said: “For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts.” This blindness will cling to the enemies of the Prophet’s family until the Day of Resurrection. Allah said: “Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.” “The day on which their excuse shall not benefit the unjust, and for them is curse and for them is the evil abode.” Then how odd it was when those blind and deaf people pretended that the holy Qur’an had not had all things about the obligations and the laws needed by people; therefore when they did not find all things, they used their analogies in deriving the laws and they fabricated lies and ascribed them to the Prophet (S) that he had permitted them to do according to their own derivations whereas Allah had said in His Book: “… And We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything.” “We have not neglected anything in the Book.” “And We have recorded everything in a clear writing.” “And We have recorded everything in a book.” “I do not follow aught save that which is revealed to me.” “And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed.” One, who says that something of the affairs of this life and the afterlife, the laws of religion, the obligations and everything that people need is not available in the Qur’an, about which Allah has said, “… and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything,” refutes the saying of Allah, ascribes lying to Allah and does not believe in His Book. By Allah, they showed the reality of themselves and of the imams, whom they imitated, when they said that they had not found everything in the Qur’an because they were not among the people of the Qur’an nor among those, who had been given the knowledge of the Qur’an nor had Allah and His messenger given them a share of that because Allah had granted all the knowledge of the Qur’an to the Prophet’s family, who were the trustees, the heirs and the interpreters of the Qur’an. If they submitted to the order of Allah when saying: “…And if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out the knowledge of it would have known it.” “So ask the followers of the reminder if you do not know.” Allah would get them to the light of guidance, would teach them what they had not known and would make them not need analogy or derivation according to their own opinions and then the differences between the laws of religion would disappear and they would not need to ascribe fabricated traditions to the Prophet (S) claiming that the Prophet (S) had permitted it (deciding according to one’s analogy) whereas the Qur’an had prohibited it when saying: “And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.” “And be not like those who separated and disputed after clear arguments had come to them.” “And hold fast by the covenant (rope) of Allah all together and be not disunited.” The Qur’anic verses talking about disagreement and separation are innumerable. Disagreement and separation in religion lead to deviation. Nevertheless they permitted that and claimed that the Prophet (S) had permitted it whereas Allah had prohibited it by saying: “And be not like those who separated and disputed after clear arguments had come to them.” Is there something clearer than this? Do people have any excuse before Allah after that? We pray Allah not to let us go astray and not to let us submit to our minds and fancies in deciding the matters of our religion. We pray Him to firm our guidance and faith, to keep to His guardians, to do according to what they have ordered and to refrain from what they have prohibited in order to meet Him with our faith and loyalty. We pray Him not to let us precede His guardians nor lag behind them for he, who precedes them, will apostatize, who lags behind them will drown, who opposes them will perish and who keeps to them will succeed as the Prophet (S) has said.

The imamat and the will

“The will had been revealed from the Heaven to the Prophet (S). It was a sealed book. No other sealed book had been revealed to the Prophet (S) except the will. Gabriel said: O Muhammad, this is your will to your family among your umma. The Prophet (S) said: “O Gabriel, which of my family?” Gabriel said: “The one, whom Allah has chosen, and his progeny. He is to inherit you with the knowledge of prophethood before Abraham.” The will had seals. Ali (as) opened the first seal and went whereto (to the better world) he had been ordered. Then al-Hasan (as) opened the second seal and went whereto he had been ordered. Then al-Husayn (as) opened the third seal and found in it: “Fight, kill and you are to be killed. Set out with some people towards martyrdom. They will not be martyred except with you.” He gave the will to Ali bin al-Husayn (as) and went. Ali bin al-Husayn (as) opened the fourth seal and found in it: “Ponder long and be silent for knowledge is veiled.” Then he gave it to Muhammad bin Ali (as), who opened the fifth seal and found in it: “Interpret the Book of Allah, confirm your father’s knowledge, bequeath knowledge to your son, humor the umma and announce the truth in fright and safety and do not fear except Allah!” He did and gave the will to the next one.” Ma’ath said: “Is it you?” Imam as-Sadiq (as) said: “O Ma’ath, you are not but to go and narrate this from me. Yes, it is me.” He mentioned twelve names and then became silent. I (Ma’ath) said: “Then who?” He said: “It is just so!”

The imamat and the will

“Allah the Almighty has revealed from the heaven to every imam his covenant and what he will do. Each imam is to open the seal and to do according to what there is in his covenant.” O people of Shia, this shows clearly that whomsoever Allah wishes good to, will make him among those who believe in the infallible imams (as), whom Allah has granted with dignity, made His choice and preferred to all of His people by making them His deputies on the earth. He has made obeying them as obeying Him when saying: “O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you.” And: “Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah.” The Prophet (sw) has ordered the people to follow the infallible imams of his progeny, whom Allah has imposed obeying them upon all the people. The Prophet (sw) has showed that clearly by saying: “I have left among you the two weighty things; the Book of Allah and my family. They are an extended “rope” between you and Allah. If you keep to them, you will never go astray at all.” Allah has said: “…Therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a painful chastisement.” When the Prophet (sw) had been opposed, his sayings had been denied, his ordered had been disobeyed and when his progeny had been deprived of their inheritance and rights and had been wronged then the torment of Allah afflicted the oppressors, their followers and whoever was pleased with their deeds. Allah hastened for them the sedition in their religion. They went astray far away from the right path. They separated and became in different sects with confused opinions besides that Allah has prepared for them the bitterest of torment on the Day of Resurrection. Allah said: “So He made hypocrisy to follow as a consequence into their hearts till the day when they shall meet Him because they failed to perform towards Allah what they had promised with Him and because they told lies.” Allah has made hypocrisy as punishment for ones, who have broken their promise and He has called them as hypocrites. He said: “Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest stage of the fire and you shall not find a helper for them.” If this was the case of one, who broke his promise, that his punishment would lead him to the lowest bottom of Hell so what about those, who declared openly their disobedience to the orders of Allah and His messenger (as) and their oppression towards those, whom Allah had ordered people to obey, to keep to and to be with when He said: “O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with the true ones.” It is they who were loyal to their covenant they made with Allah in jihad and in sacrifice for the sake of Him and supporting the Prophet (sw) and assisting his mission where Allah said: “Of the believers are men who are true to the covenant which they made with Allah: so of them is he who accomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, and they have not changed in the least.” What a great difference is between those, who are sincere to Allah, who sacrifice themselves for the sake of Allah and who strive to support the Prophet (sw) and his mission and between those, who disobey Allah and His messenger, who wrong the family of the Prophet (sw) and whose deeds will lead them to the lowest bottom of Hell! This is the end of every one deviating from any of the infallible imams, whom Allah has chosen to be the guides for His people. This is the end of every one denying the imamate of any of them, following else than them and claiming that the right is of else than them because the order of the will and the imamate has been determined by Allah the Almighty and not by anyone of His people; therefore he, who disobeys the order of Allah, will definitely be in the abyss of Hell where the oppressors and the hypocrites will be.

Understanding the Divine Wrath: Clarification by Imam al-Baqir (AS) on the Nature of Allah’s Punishment

Hamzah ibn al-Rabi, on the authority of one, mentioned that I was in the presence of Abu Jafar al-Baqir (AS) when Amr ibn Ubayd entered and asked, May I be your ransom! What is the wrath, which is referred to in the Word of Allah, the Blessed, and Exalted: And to whosoever My Wrath is due shall perish indeed? Thus, Abu Jafar (AS) replied. O Amr! That is punishment. Verily, whoever claims that Allah, the Mighty, and High, declines from one thing to another, then he has certainly given Him an attribute of the created. Verily, nothing instigates Allah, the Mighty and High, and nothing modifies Him.

The Rights of Muhammad's (saww) Household are Obligatory

’There was a woman from the Helpers who had cordiality with us, the People of the Household, and used to frequently pledge her allegiance to us. Umar Bin Al-Khattab met her one day whilst she was on her way to us. He said to her, ‘Where are you headed, O elderly woman of the Helpers?’ She said, ‘I am going to the Progeny of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to greet them and renew my allegiance with them and give their rights to them.’ So Umar said to her, ‘Woe be unto you! There are no rights for them today, neither from you nor from us. But rather, there used to be rights for them during the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). As for today, there are no rights for them, so leave.’ So she left until she came up to Umm Salma (peace be upon her). Umm Salma said to her, ‘What was it that delayed you in coming to us?’ So she said, ‘I met Umar Bin Al-Khattab,’ and she informed her of what she had said to Umar and what Umar had said to her.’ So Umm Salma (peace be upon her) said to her, ‘He lied. The rights of the Progeny of Muhammad (peace be upon him) have not stopped. They are upon the Muslims up to the Day of Judgement.’

No connection is more reliable than the connection between you and Allah provided you take hold of it. Enliven your heart with preaching, kill it by renunciation, energies it with firm belief, enlighten it with wisdom, humiliate it by recalling death, make it believe in mortality, make it see the misfortunates of this world, make it fear the authority of the time and the severity of some changes during the nights and the days, place before it the events of past people, recall to it what befell those who were before you and walk among their cities and ruins, then see what they did and from what they have gone away and where they have gone and stayed. You will find that they departed from (their) friends and remain in loneliness. Shortly, you too will be like one of them. Therefore, plan for your place of stay and do not sell your next life with this world.

Keeping to the rope of Allah

“Once, some people of Yemen came to Medina. The Prophet (sw) said: “They come to you gently.” When they came to the Prophet (sw), he said: “They are people of gentle hearts and deep-rooted faith. From among them, there will be al-Mansoor. He will come with seventy thousand soldiers. He will support my descendant and my guardian’s descendant. The sheaths of their swords are from musk.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, who is your guardian?”
The Prophet (sw) said: “It is he, whom Allah has ordered you to keep to when He has said: (And hold fast by the covenant (rope) of Allah all together and be not disunited).” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, will you declare to us what this rope is?” He said: “It is the saying of Allah, ‘save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men.’ The rope from Allah is His Book and the rope from people is my guardian.” They asked: “O Messenger of Allah, who is your guardian?” He said: “It is he about whom Allah has revealed, ‘Lest a soul should say: O woe to me! For what I fell short of my duty to Allah.’” They asked: “O Messenger of Allah, what is this duty to Allah?” He said: “It is what Allah has said about, ‘And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Messenger.’ It is my guardian and the way that leads to me.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! By Him, Who has sent you with the truth, declare him to us. We are so eager to know who he is.” He said: “It is he, whom Allah has made as a sign for the true believers. If you look at him with a look of (him who has a heart, or gives ear with full intelligence), you will know that he is my guardian as you have known that I am your prophet. Go through the rows and stare at the faces then see towards whom your hearts incline. It will be him because Allah has said: (therefore make the hearts of some people yearn towards them). It means towards him and his progeny (as).” Then Abu Aamir al-Ash’ari, Abu Ghurra al-Khawlani, Dhabyan, Uthman bin Qays, Arana ad-Dousi and Lahiq Bin Alaqa from among their tribes went through the rows, stared at the faces and held the hand of the bald, stout man and said: “O Messenger of Allah, towards this man our hearts yearned.” The Prophet (sw) said: “You are the elite of Allah where you recognized the Prophet’s guardian before you have been told about him. How did you know that he was him?” They began crying and said: “O messenger of Allah, we looked at the people but our hearts did not incline to any of them. When we saw this man our hearts trembled and then our souls felt assured, our eyes shed tears and our chests became pleased as if he was our father and we were his children.” The Prophet (sw) recited: “But none knows its interpretation except Allah and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge.” You are near them in your good position and you are far away from Hell. These men remained loyal until they fought with Imam Ali (as) in the battles of al-Jamal (the camel) and Siffeen, in which they were martyred. May Allah have mercy upon them. The Prophet (sw) had brought them good news to be in Paradise and had predicted that they would have been martyred with Imam Ali (as).”

Indeed, wealth is divided and guaranteed for you, a just person has already divided the wealth among you, guaranteed it, and will execute it for you. Knowledge, however, is stored with those who possess it. You are commanded to seek knowledge from its sources (those who possess it). You must seek knowledge."

Imam Ali's Revelation: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Allah's Side

The Commander of the Faithful (AS) said, “I am the knowledge of Allah. I am the containing heart of Allah. I am the speaking tongue of Allah. I am the Eye of Allah. I am on the side of Allah. And I am the hand of Allah.” The compiler (RA) of this book says: When `Ali (AS) says that `I am the heart of Allah that contains,” he means that “I am the heart that Allah has made a container for His knowledge and made obedient to Him.” The heart is a creation of Allah, the Mighty and High, in the same sense that `Ali is a servant of Allah, the Mighty and High. One says “the Heart of Allah” [qalb Allah] in the same way that one says “the Servant of Allah,” “the House of Allah,” “Allah’s Paradise,” and “Allah’s Hell.” As for `Ali’s statement that “I am the Eye of Allah,” he means that he is the one who watches over the religion of Allah. Similarly, the Mighty and High have said, `Sailing before our eyes,’1 which means “with our observation.” The Mighty and High have also said, `And that you might be brought up before My eyes,’2 which means `with My Observance.”

The Essence of Knowledge: Understanding Allah'sﷻ Omniscience

Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said the following concerning knowledge: “It is like your hand is from you.” Muhammad ibn `Ali, the compiler of this book, says: This tradition means that the knowledge of Allah is not other than Him and is part of His essential attributes because Allah, the Mighty and High, is All-Knowing, All-Hearing, and All-Seeing. On the contrary, our intent in attributing Him knowledge is to negate ignorance from Him. We do not say, “Knowledge is separate from Him,” since “Allah has always been Omniscient.” If we said that His knowledge is separate from Him, we would be saying that something eternal has always existed alongside Him. Exalted is Allah, the Elevated and Great, from such things!

The Absolute Oneness of Allah: Insights about Needless

The people of Basra wrote to al-Husayn ibn `Ali (AS), asking him about the Needless [al Samad]; hence, he replied to them: In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Now to our topic: Do not argue about the Qur`an, do not dispute over it, and do not speak about it without knowledge. Verily, I have heard my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (SA), say: “He who interprets the Qur`an without knowledge will occupy a place in Hell.” Verily, Allah, Glory be Him, has explained the meaning of the Needless [al-Samad], that Allah is One. Allah is He on whom all depend. He then clarified it further and said, He begets not, nor is He begotten. And none is like him. The interpretation of `He begets not’ is that nothing comes out of Him, like a child or a spirit, nor is He subject to slumber, sleep, thought, anxiety, grief, joy, laughter, sadness, fear, hope, attraction, dislike, hunger, or satiation. Exalted is He from giving birth to anything! The interpretation of `Nor is He begotten’ is that He was not born from anything or anyone. He did not originate in another thing, as components originate from other components, as animals originate from other animals, as plants originate from the earth, as water originates from sources, and as fruits originate from trees. He does not depend on anything for His Existence, such as vision depends on the eyes, hearing depends on the ears, scent depends on the nose, taste depends on the mouth, speech depends on the tongue, intellect depends on the heart, and like fire depends on coal, Besides Allah, there is nothing else in Needless. He is neither from a thing, in a thing, nor on a thing. He is the originator and creator of all things. He produces all things through His Omnipotence. He destroys what He creates through His will [mashiyyat] and allows things to exit through His knowledge. Such is Allah, on whom all depend, who begets not, nor is He begotten, the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the Host High, and none is like Him.

The Divine Revelation: Imam Ali's Encounter with Al-Khidr and the Power of Divine Unity

The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) said: I saw al-Khidr (a.s) in a dream the night before the Battle of Badr. I asked him: “Teach me something that will make me victorious over my enemies.” Consequently, he replied: “Say: O He! O One! There is no one but He!” When I got up in the morning I related this to the Messenger of Allah (s.a), so he (s.a) said to me: `O `Ali, you have been taught the greatest name (al-ism al-a`zam].” Hence, it was on my tongue on the day of the battle of Badr. The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) read “The Chapter of Divine Unity,” and when he finished he said: “O He! O One! There is no one but He! Forgive me, and help me against the unbelievers.” `Ali (a.s) used to say this in the Battle of Siffin while he was giving chase (to the enemies), so `Ammar ibn Yasir asked him: “O Commander of the Faithful! What is the meaning of this expression?” He (a.s) answered: “It is the greatest name of Allah. It is the main pillar of Divine Unity: there is not god but He.” Then he (a.s) read: Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the Angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His Creation with justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty and the Wise, and the last verse of the chapter “The Banishment” [al-Hashr]. Then he dismounted (his horse) and prayed four units [rak`at] of prayer before noon[zawwal]. Al-Baqir (a.s) said: The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) said: “The meaning of Allah is `the One who is worshipped’ and `the One who taken and served as God.’ Allah is Hidden from the grasp of vision, and concealed from both imagination and thought.” Al-Baqir (a.s) said: The meaning of Allah is `the One who is worshiped.’ Creation cannot grasp His Essence or understand His Nature. The Arabs say “he is overwhelmed’ when someone is amzed with something which his knowledge does not comprehend. And they also say “he is confused” when someone is frightened of something. Therefore, God [ilah] is hidden from the sensory perception of the created. Al-Baqir (a.s) said: The Alone [Ahad], the Peerless [Fard], the Unique. The One [Wahid], and the Alone [Ahad] have the same meaning that the Unique who has no like. Divine Unity is the affirmation of the Absolute Unity of Allah. For this reason they say: The first of numbers is one, but the One is not a number because numbers do not apply to Him. As they only apply to two and above. Therefore, the meaning of His Word: Allah is One is that the worshipped One cannot be perceived by His Creation. The encompassment of His existence is exclusive to Himself. He is far above the attributes of His Creation.

Interpretation of Surah Al-Ikhlas: Understanding the Essence of "Oneness of Allah"

Imam Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Baqir (a.s) was asked to interpret the Word of Allah, the Blessed and the Exalted: Say: He Allah is One. Therefore, He (a.s) said: Say [qul] means relate to the people what we have revealed to you, and informed you about, regarding the meaning of the letters we have recited to you, so that you may guide those who listen and bear witness. The verse in question is a metonymical expression indication to the unseen One [gha`ib]. The letter [ha’] (in[huwa]) means motionless. The (letter) [waw] means unperceivable by the sense just like the word `this’ [hadha] means witnessed by means of the sense. This is because the unbelievers described their gods by means of perception. Hence, they would say: These are our gods who are sensed and perceived by the eyes. Therefore, O Muhammad, point to your God that you call pon so that we see Him, perceive Him, and be amazed by Him. Thus, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed: Say He Allah is One. Therefore, the [ha] referes to the Motionless while the [waw] refers to the One who is Above Sensual Perception. In fact, He is the creator of the Senses, and He perceives all vision.

We feel the same pains that any of our Shia feels during ailment, we become grieved whenever any of our Shia becomes grieved, and we feel happy whenever any of our Shia feels happy. No one of our Shia can be out of our auspices, whether he was in the east or the west of the earth. The debt that is left by any of our Shia is in our responsibility while the estate is his heirs’. Our Shia are those who offer the prayers, defray the zakat, perform the hajj to the Holy House of Allah, fast during the month of Ramadan, declare their loyalty to the Prophet’s household, and declare their disavowal of the enemies of the Prophet’s household. Those are the people of faith, God-fearing, piety, and devoutness. He whoever rejects them is rejecting Allah, because they are the true servants and the genuine disciples of Allah. By Allah I swear, each individual of them will be granted (on the Day of Resurrection) the right to intercede for people as many as the individuals of the tribes of Rabeea and Madhar, out of Allah’s honor to them."

A deed when performed with Taqwa (i.e. being mindful of one’s duties towards Allah, and guarding oneself from sins for the fear of Allah) is not (of) less (importance). And how can that be less which has been accepted (by Allah)?

Shia's Radiant Recognition

On the Day of Resurrection, some people dressing clothes of light with luminous faces whom will be identified by the signs of prostration will come. They will overstep the rows until they stand in front of the Lord of the worlds. The prophets, angels, shahids, and righteous people will envy them." Omar bin al-Khattab asked: "O Allah’s Messenger, who are they whom the prophets, angels, shahids, and righteous men will envy?" The Prophet (s) answered: "They will be our Shia, and Ali will be their imam.

Knowledge is better than wealth

O Kumayl, knowledge is better than wealth. Knowledge guards you, while you have to guard the wealth. Wealth decreases by spending, while knowledge multiplies by spending, and the results of wealth die as wealth decays. O Kumayl, knowledge is belief which is acted upon. With it man acquires obedience during his life and a good name after his death. Knowledge is the ruler while wealth is ruled upon.

The Indescribable Majesty: Reflections from Imam Al-Hasan ibn Ali (AS) on the Nature of Allah

A man came to al-Hasan ibn Ali (AS) and said to him: “O son of the Messenger of Allah! Describe your Lord to me so that I can understand Him better.” Therefore, al-Hasan ibn Ali (AS) bowed his head in silence for quite a while, before lifting it up and saying: All praise is for Allah, who has no beginning, nor end. He neither has a face through which He may be perceived, nor a back that He may be restricted. He cannot be limited with (the word) till what,’ nor with an appearance so that He may have parts. He cannot be described with variation so that He may have an extent. He can neither be perceived by intellects and imaginations, nor by thoughts and concepts. Reason and intellect cannot describe Him by means of the questions: when,’ from what did He begin,’ on what’ does He reveal or in what’ does He conceal? We cannot say `why not’ as He does not shun (His Creation). He created the creations; therefore, He was Original and unprecedented. He originated what He unprecedented and unprecedented what He originated. He did what He intended, and intended what He extended. Such is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

I, likewise, will forgive every Muslim group that recognized (only) the leadership of the just imams whom I appointed, even if the individuals of such a group wrong (themselves) and commit bad deeds.

Pious Devotion

Our Shia are the people of piety and diligence, loyalty and honesty, and asceticism and worship. They perform fifty-one rak’as in a single day and night. They pass their nights with worship and their days with fasting. They defray the zakat from their wealth, perform the hajj, and refrain from committing any forbidden thing.

Golden Era

Narrated to us a group of scholars from Talakbari from Ali bin Habashi from Ja’far bin Malik from Ahmad bin Abi Naeem Ibrahim bin Salih from Muhammad bin Ghazal from Mufaddal bin Umar that he said: I heard His Eminence, Abu Abdullah Sadiq (a.s) say:
“When the Qaim (a.s) arises, the earth would light up with the luminescence of its Lord and the people would become needless of sunlight. In his rule, all will have such long lifespans that each person will beget a thousand sons. Daughters will not be born to them. He will build a mosque on the outskirts of Kufa, which will have a thousand doors and the houses of Kufa will be connected to the river of Kerbala. So wide would habitation spread that if a person travels on a mule to pray the Friday Prayer, he will not be able to reach in time.”
