In the name of Allah,

The Beneficent, The Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the

worlds. And blessings of Allah and

peace be on our Chief Muhammad,

His Prophet, and on his children. O
my Allah! (All) praise is for Thee for

that which Thou decided upon and

resolved in the matter of Thy

friends, whom Thou purified for
Thyself and Thy religion. When

wisdom and high rank from Thee,

prostrated themselves in adoration

before them (from the Bountiful

Preserving Lord), for whom neither

there was any decreased, nor

dispersion thereafter, then Thou

stipulated for them piety and

righteousness. While they were in

this mean and crooked world, free

from its pomp, vanity and false

enjoyments, Thy overreaching

authority made known their

identity; and equipped them with

sincerity and perfection stood surety

for them and communicated

intimately with them, sent the news

of their auspicious arrival in

advance, and praised them in clear

terms for the benefit of one and all.

Fell down on the ground in

prostration Thy Angels before them,

Thou chose them to reveal Thy

Words, gave them Thy wisdom as a

gift, set them up as the (only)

medium to reach Thee, the only

means to the eternal land of peace

and happiness. One dwelled in

Paradise until Thou sent him on (as

the first Prophet).

One was made to cruise the "Ark",

and had been rescued, and kept

safe from destruction through Thy

mercy.

One was chosen and prepared for

Thy Mission, as (Thy) Friend, (who)

made a request to Thee for a good

report in (his) later generations, so

Thou approved and complied with,

exalted them and gave them

authority.

One was spoken directly through

the Tree, his brother was appointed

his successor and helper. One was

brought in without a father, was

given clear proofs, and was

supported with the Holy Spirit.

For each Thou prescribed a Divine

law, and set up a traced out path,

each was appointed a guardian-

executor, (and each) fulfilled the

duty after being kept safe and

protected, in the term of

establishing Thy religion, a witness

and argument over Thy servants

(mankind), Lest the truth staggered

from its firm stand and foundation,

and the falsehood conquered the

hearts of the people, and might not

say a single man: "If only Thou had

sent a Messenger unto us as a

Warner, to show us the path of

wisdom and guidance, so that we

might have followed Thy revelations

before we were (thus) humbled and

disgraced!" Then Thou made plans

to bring out the wonderful advent of

Muhammad, (Send blessing on him

and on his children).

So Thou just as chose him master of

Whosoever Thou created, made him

(whom Thou Selected), pure, clean

and the best, exalted and praised

him (whom Thou elected),

surpassed in generosity and

liberality while bestowing high-

mindedness and beneficence upon

him (whom Thou took in confidence

and relied upon); made him leader-

in-chief of (all) thy Prophets, and

sent him to the troubled world of

men and jinn, among Thy servants,

total control was brought all affairs,

operation of creation.

Then invested him with awe and

majesty, Jibraeel, Meekaaeel, and

distinguished Angels stood around;

him at his beck and call, gave Thy

word to him that Thou would make

his religion prevail over all religions,

however much the idolaters may be

averse.

Thereafter acknowledged his

atonement and provided good and

perfection for his children, allotted

for him and his children the first

sanctuary appointed for mankind, at

Becca (Mecca), a blessed place, a

guidance to the people, wherein are

plain and clear signs; the place

where Ibraahim stood up to pray,

and whosoever enters it is safe.

Thou said: "Allah’s wish is but to

remove uncleanness far from you, O

"People of the House", and purify

you with a thorough purification."

Thereupon Thou settled conclusively

fee (recompense) of Muhammad

(Thy blessings be on him and on his

children) love for them, in Thy Holy

Book.

So Thou said: "Say (O Muhammad):

I ask of you no fee (recompense)

therefore, save love of (my)

Kinsfolk." And Thou said: "Whatever

recompense (return) I have asked

for you, (it) is only for yourselves."

And Thou said: "I ask of you no

reward for this, save that, whoso

will, chooses a way unto his Lord."

Therefore they are the (only) means

to (approach) Thee, the (only)

medium to get Thy favours.

So Thou certainly did not let his

hard work go waste, and gave

authority to his successor, Ali ibne

Abi Taalib, (Thy blessings be on

them both, and on this children), a

guide. At the time when he was

made a warner and a guide for

every people, said he (the Holy

Prophet), their Guide, in a public

meeting overflowing with people;

"Of Whomsoever I am the Mawlaa

(Lord, Master) Ali is his Mawlaa. O

Allah! be a friend of him who is a

friend of him, be an enemy of him

who is an enemy of him, help that

man who helps him, forsake that

man who forsakes him" and said:

"Of whosoever I am the Prophet Ali

is his Chief."

And said: "I and Ali are (one basic

root of) a tree, and the rest of

mankind are like diverse plants, he

proclaims the position (relationship)

of Haaroon to Moosaa." Therefore

he told him: "I am to you as Moosaa

was to Haaroon, but certainly there

is no Prophet after me."

His (Ali’s) life partner was his

(Muhammad’s) daughter the chief of

the women of the worlds. Lawful

was for him (Ali), in "the mosque",

that which was permitted to him

(Muhammad), all doors were closed,

except his door.

He (Muhammad) gave his

knowledge and wisdom into his

(Ali’s) keeping. He said: "I am the

city (center) of knowledge and Ali is

its gate.

Whoso desires to approach and

dwell in the city of knowledge and

wisdom should come through its

door." Thereafter he said: "You are

my brother, successor and inheritor,

your flesh is my flesh, your blood is

my blood, your truce is my truce,

your fight is my fight, faith is

blended, mixed and mingled (part

and parcel) in your flesh and blood,

just as it is compounded in my flesh

and blood, you shall take charge of

the reservoir of my inheritance, you

are the fulfilment of my religion,

you shall execute and keep alive my

"way of life", your friends and

followers shall speak with authority,

command respect and hold the

torch of good manners and

refinements, their faces will be all

around me in the eternal land of

peace and bliss (Paradise), in my

close company.

Were it not you O Ali, the faithfuls

would not know the truth after me."

After him (Muhammad) be (Ali) was

the guide for the wanderers, a

bright light in the blind darkness,

the strong rope of Allah, and the

right path, did not ever hold back

kindness and compassion from the

common people, nor ever made

excuses or delay to give priority to

the matters of religion, nor blew his

own trumpet nor felt proud of his

glory, did the same thing the

Messenger used to do, (Blessing of

Allah be on them both and on their

misinterpretation, did not lose

temper, for the sake of Allah, if any

one turned to mud-slinging and

name-calling.

He had thrown the proud tribal

chiefs of Arabia into a fright,

destroyed their heroes, attacked

and dispersed their cavalries,

because of which hatred and deep

grudge took root in their hearts.

Badr, Khaybar, and Hunain created

jealousy and envy in them,

therefore, united they joined hands

to oppose him, and came out in

great number to fight against him,

till he destroyed all deserters, who

had swerved from what was right,

the shameless who deviated from

true religion, while he was carrying

out the important mission.

contemporary, serving the interest

and following the doctrine of earlier

impudent villians. An unparalleled

and outlandish approach was

applied to the directions of the

Messenger of Allah, (Blessings of

Allah be on him and on his

children), concerning the

"Guides" (Imaams), one after the

other. The narrow-minded obstinate

"ummah" did not care for and had

ill-feelings towards him.

Flocked together to pass up and

deny his connection with his family,

and pushed his children out of their

way, but a handful of sincere

faithfuls kept their promise and

dutifully upheld the rights of his

children; Some were slain, some

were held prisoners, some were

sent to distant foreign lands, and

they met face to face (when came

upon) their destiny (martyrdom).

That which is given to each (of

them) as reward of good deeds is

the best recompense, since the

earth belongs to Allah, and He gives

it for an inheritance to whom He

wants from among His servants,

and the (good) end is for the God-

fearing wise; glory to our Lord!

Verily the promise of our Lord must

be fulfilled; Allah does not break His

word, He is Almighty, Wise.
