Acceptance of Ali's Leadership 9

O people! I have illuminated you of God’s Meaning, and made you comprehend” .87 everything, and after I am gone, it is Ali’s duty to make you know [how to do your duty]. 88.

Now, after my sermon is ended, I shall invite you, as a sign of your faithfulness, to shake my hand, then Ali’s hand, as a sign of surrendering to him and accepting his ‘Leadership’! 89. Know that I have sworn with God an allegiance and Ali has sworn with me an allegiance; and now, on behalf of God the Mighty, Majestic [Himself], I shall ask for your

:allegiance with Ali O Messenger!] For sure, those who swear allegiance with you, in fact, they swear]” allegiance with God: God's Hand is above their hands; for any person, who breaks his oath, he does harm to his own soul; and anyone who fulfills his oath with God, he will be ‘."bestowed a great reward by God

Imam Mahdi 8

,Know that the last Imam, Mahdi, the Upright, is from us” .80

.He shall dominate over the entire religions

,Lo! As he shall take revenge from the oppressors, therefore

!he is the victorious destroyer of the castles

Lo! He is the conqueror of all the-lack-of-religion, and their Guide! 81. Lo! He takes

!revenge for blood shed from the men of God

!Lo! He will assist the religion of God

Know that, upon great measure, he shall seize [the Divine Knowledge] from the deep .82

!sea

Know that! He shall reward every well-informed, by measure of his knowledge, and does

!so with the uninformed, by the measure of his ignorance

!Lo! He is great, and has been chosen by God

Lo! He is the heir of all Knowledge, and he seizes upon all comprehension. 83. Know that

![he breaks the news from His God, and elevates the Divine Verses [in proud

.Know that he is upright and pride Lo! It is he that the entire authorities have been given to. 84. Lo! All ‘bygones’ had foretold of his "Revelation". 85. Lo! It is he who shall remain as an irrefutable Proof, for there will be, after him, not any proof. Faith and honesty, and light and glint are with him only. 86.

.Know that no one could defeat him, and those who are facing him, won’t be assisted

Know that! He is the representative of God on Earth, so is he the Judge among His

“.creatures, and he is the Honest Trustee of His over the hidden and manifest

Ahll Bait; Their Followers And Their Adversaries 7

O people! I am the Straight Path of God, whom He has ordained you to follow; and” .62 after me, it is Ali, and then my discordance, who shall be the Leaders of the Guidance and :will guide you to the righteousness and beauty.” Then the Messenger of God announced

In the name of Allah, (Who's) the most Merciful Bountiful’

,Praise be to God only Lord of the worlds

,The Source of Grace, Mercy, Fair, and the Force

,Ruler of the Day when Repayments begin

!Owner of the Day when the Decree’s given

,Alone You we worship, You only the Wise

,From You the Sublime we ask for the rise

,Lead us into Direct Path of all the roads ,The Path of the Right, 

Hypocrits And What They Did About Ali 6

O people! Believe in God and believe in His Messenger and in the Glorious [Book] which” .47 has been sent down with him, (Haggling: 64/8), before We blot out the faces and turn them backwards; or curse them as We cursed the People of the Sabbath – [The Jews who were

.(to act wittingly against God] (The Woman: 4/47

I swear to God that the true sense of this Verse is referred to a group of my companions whose names I know, but it is pity, I have been asked not to reveal their identity. Thus, behave you according to your hearts’ pleasure – whatever you feel: of love or hatred towards Ali. 48. O people! The Light, by God Almighty, is put inside me, and then inside Ali, and then inside his lineage, until Mahdi, the Upright, who shall demand the Divine Right as well our right. For God has put us as an irrefutable Proof, before those who are careless, and disprove us; who are throughout the world as: traitors, usurpers, sinners, tyrants, and oppressors! 49. O people! I announce that I am God’s Messenger and before me, there were also other messengers. So, what if I should pass away, or be killed? Will you return backwards – turn on your heels? For one who turns backward, will not harm God, and God will reward those who are thankful and patient! (The Family of Imran: 3/144). 50.

Completion of Religion with the Leadership of Ali 5

O people! God, glory to Him in the highest, has completed Religion with the Leadership” .40 of Ali. Thus, those who do not show their submission to him, and his successors, who are my progeny, and born from his lineage and are going to continue until the Day of Resurrection, their actions will become useless in this world and in the world to come. And they shall remain in the Eternal Flame, so that not a single torment will be reduced from them, and no delay is granted to them. (The Cow: 2/161) 41. O people! This Ali is the most useful, and deserving, and the closest, as well is the dearest one to me! God Almighty and I are most pleased with him. Not a Verse of God's Satisfaction yet has been revealed, unless ‘he’ is the subject of it, and He did called out to the believers, unless ‘he’ was the first among to be called out! And there has been no Verse of praise unless Ali was meant. And in Chapter “(Man: 76/1), HælætæIllælEnsān, Has a period of time not come over man

…)” God has mentioned ‘heaven’ only for him; He has not revealed it or praised anyone

,but him. 42. ‘O people! He is the helper of the Religion of God

;So is he the defender of the Messenger of God He is the most pious, pure, and a sincere guide

.To the Straight Path, to God he will guide

,Your Messenger is the best Messenger

,And his executor is the best executor So are his descendants the best executors!’” “O people! The descendants of every prophet continue with his discordance, but my breed yet will be perpetuated with Ali's descendants, who are the believers’ Leader [and Attendant]! 43. O people! Indeed, with his jealousy, Satan chased away Adam from Paradise, thus, for God's sake, be not jealous of Ali, lest your deeds are rejected, and your steps slip. Adam was sent down to the earth for a single fault, while he was, in fact, the chosen one, by God; thus, how will it come to you? While you are no other than yourselves; and the enemies of God are also among you! 44. Know that no one becomes Ali's enemy, but who is cruel, and no one accepts his Leadership but one who is prospers and pious, and no one, but a virtuous believes him. I swear to God that the Chapter of (wæl-æsr: 103/1-2) has been sent down in regard with

!Ali, [which goes as]: ‘In the name of Allah (Who’s) the most Merciful Bountiful By the Era, (i.e.wæl-æsr), that man is indeed at a loss. Except for those, as Ali, who believes, and is first class.’” 45. “O people! I took God as my Witness that I have delivered His Message to you, and “The duty and the mission of a Messenger is but to make known

God's Messages and to proclaim them the things crystal clear! (The Spider: 29/18, The

Light: 24/54). 46. O, people! Be heedful of God in such a way that He deserves, and try to be

.(honorable Muslims and then die.” (The Family of Imran: 3/102

The Prophet Announced Ali Ib. Abitalib 4

Then he added: “O people! Who is to you, in most privilege than you yourselves?” They .34 said, ‘It is God, and His prophet – you.’ So he said, “Now let it be known that, “Whosoever I am a master to, so is Ali his master.” Then he added: “O Lord: please love those who love his Authority, and be the enemy to one who is his enemy. And assist one who helps him, but do not support one who holds him apart. 35. O people! This is Ali, [as] my brother, executor and so is he my [aide and] Knowledge keeper! And he is my successor for my people who, believe in me, and he is my successor who aided me in the interpretation of the Book of God, and he is the one who will invite people to that. He puts into practice whatever pleases God, and he makes war against the enemies of His. And he befriends those who believe in Him, and forbids the things outlawed by Him. 36. It is he, who is the successor of the Messenger of God; the Lord of the Believers, and the Imam who guides [people] by the Command of God; and by His Command, he destroys those wicked who break their oaths, the vicious who turn away from goodness and righteousness – and those heretic who ran away from the religion! 37. God Almighty States: ‘My Word of

“‘.Promise never displaces O Lord! Thus I say according to Your Command: ‘O Lord! Love those who love this Ali, and” be foe to them, who are the foes of Ali, assist those who enjoy assisting Ali and abase him who declines to help this Ali. Do curse whosoever disavows him, and send Your Wrath upon them!’” 38. “O Lord! When You Yourself appointed Ali as the Guardian, You sent down this Verse about him and announced: ‘Today, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed my Blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as Religion for you; (The Table: 5/3). And also You stated: “In fact, religion in sight of God is Islam, (The Family of Imran: 3/9); You also stated: “And whoever chooses any religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers,’” (The Family

.of Imran 3/85). 39. “O Lord! I take You as a Witness that I uttered people Your Command
