# A Few Hadiths

Ameerul Momineen (asws) said:

" _I am that meaning of Allah which cannot be imagined or depicted by any artist. I am those Sacred Names of Allah which people have been ordered to call upon."_

RasoolAllah (saw) said:

" _If people knew when Ali (asws) was given the title of Ameerul Momineen, then they would never be able to deny the attributes of Ali (asws). Allah gave Ali (asws) the title of Ameerul Momineen when Adam (as) was in the process of being created."_

Imam Jafar Sadiq (asws) said:

" _We are those Ahlul Bayt (asws) upon whose names the blessings of Allah has been bestowed. When Allah created the heavens and the earth, Allah ordered a crier to loudly call,_

Ashahadu anna la illaha ilallah (I testify there is no god except Allah) 3 times

Ashahadu anna Muhammadin rasoolullah (I testify Muhammad (saw) is the messenger of Allah) 3 times

Ashahadu anna Aliun Ameerul Momineen Haqqun (I testify that Ali (asws) is the true and rightful Ameerul Momineen) 3 times

(Mashariqul Anwar ul Yaqeen page no 170-173)

# Dedication

O'my Moula (asws) Ameerul Momineen!

I am a beggar. I am jahil (ignorant). Whatever I have written in your praise, if it is good, then it is only due to your blessings. I do not even need to ask in order to gain Your mercy because You are aware of all things and all things come from You. Whenever I become speechless, You gave me the words because You are the one who removed the love of everything from Your lovers that is other than You. Your lovers have become lost in Your love. Their eyes see nothing other than You. They seek Your kindness. They seek Your help whenever this world turns against them. You are not hidden from those who love You.

Abdul Rasool

# Preface

All the praise is for Allah who is the Lord of the whole universe. Salutations be upon Hz Muhammad (saw) who is the mercy upon the entire universe and upon His Holy Offspring (asws) whom Allah created as Masoom (infallible), Paak (pure), and with Noor and upon Their Companions, may Allah's mercy be upon them, those who lived during the times of the Imams (asws) and those who will come from then until the day of judgment. Allah's eternal wrath and punishment be upon Their enemies; those during Their times and those from then until the day of judgment.

This book "Fi Asma wa Alqaab wa Ameerul Momineen (asws)" is regarding the names and titles of Ameerul Momineen (asws) which are mentioned in Quran, hadith, and sayings of Masooms (asws). We have written these in alphabetical order. In this book, we have mentioned almost 1000 different names and titles of Ameerul Momineen (asws). In reality, it is like a drop in the ocean when compared to the attributes of Moula Ali (asws). The attributes of Moula (asws) can never be measured. The entire knowledge of the prophets, secrets of their successors, glory of the Awliya (friends of Allah) are like a raindrop falling into the ocean in comparison with the attributes of Moula Ali (asws). The name of Moula Ali (asws) has been written on everything throughout the entire universe because this is the name of Allah. In other words, this book is specifically for those with marifat (understanding). Allah created the whole universe through His complete knowledge and by His mercy and blessed His creation with the marifat (understanding and recognition) of His zaat (self). If this was not so, then no one would be able to recognize any other. Marifat demands that the creation recognizes its Lord. It is not possible to recognize the zaat (self) of Allah directly. Therefore, Allah sent His Prophets and Their Successors in order to convey His orders to His creation. The Seal of all Prophets is RasoolAllah (saw) and His Successor is Ameerul Momineen (asws). The procedure of marifat (recognition) is not a new process. It has been in existence from the beginning of creation and can be found throughout the universe and in the seven heavens. Some of the orders of Allah are taqwini and some are tashreehi. Allah sent a prophet amongst every nation as a source of the deliverance of the message of Allah to the people and as a way for the people to gain the marifat (recognition) of Allah through His (Allah) ism. Allah appointed specific jinns from amongst the jinns in order that His message may be conveyed to them as well. From amongst the minerals Allah appointed one that would convey His message to all. The Ism (name) of Allah is His attributes and the only way we can gain the marifat (recognition) of Allah is through His Ism. In Quran where Allah says "and call Me by those beautiful names", it is a clear hint for those who have marifat, but some things are not meant to be spoken out loud so instead they must be whispered to those who have understanding.

#  Things Moula Ali (asws)'s name is WrittenOn

The following hadiths and narrations are in reference to those things upon which Allah places the name of Ameerul Momineen (asws).

# 1.Moula Ali (asws)'s name is on the leaves of the trees of jannah

In the hadith regarding the incident of Miraj, RasoolAllah (saw) says, "When I was taken to the 6th heaven, the angels who were present there called Me by My name like I was one of their fellow angels. I asked "Do you recognize Me"? They replied, "How could we not recognize You? There is a tree beside the door of Jannah which Allah created and upon its each leaf it is written in noor "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is the Messenger of Allah, and Ali (asws) is Wali of Allah, His strong chain and strong rope".

(Al Mahtazir page 80)

# 2.Inside of fruit

Ibne Abbas (ra) narrates "When Ameerul Momineen (asws) dealt a fatal blow to amr bin abdodh, He (Ameerul Momineen asws) returned to RasoolAllah (saw) and the blood was dripping from His sword. Upon seeing Ameerul Momineen (asws), RasoolAllah (saw) raised the slogan of "Allahu akbar" and the other muslims followed Him. At that time, RasoolAllah (saw) said, "O'Allah, bless Ali (asws) with such attribute which no one has had before Him nor will anyone be able to gain after Him". Meanwhile, Jibrael (as) came with a fruit from jannah and said, "Allah sends salam for You and orders to give this fruit to Ali (asws) as a gift." Jibrael (as) gave this fruit in the hand of Ameerul Momineen (asws). It split in half. There was a green surface inside and upon it was written "This gift is from Allah for Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as)".

(Fazail ibn Shazaan page 92)

# 3.On the forehead of angels

Muhammad ibn Hanafi narrates RasoolAllah (saw) said, "On the night of Miraj, I saw an angel that half of its body was made from fire and the other half was made of ice. Upon his forehead was written, "Allah helped Muhammad (saw) through Ali (asws)". I was amazed. The angel said, "Why are You amazed? Allah wrote this on my forehead 2000 years before the creation of the heavens and earth."

(Al Mahtazir page 99)

# 4.On the door of jannah

Ahmad bin Hanbal narrates from Hz Jabir (ra) that RasoolAllah (saw) said, "I saw written on the door of Jannah "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is Muhammad (saw)'s brother".

(Al Mahtazir page 102)

# 5.On the door of heavens and on noorani veils

Hz Jabir (ra) bin Abdullah (ra) narrates that RasoolAllah (saw) said, "I do not understand why the people accuse Me for honoring Ali (asws). I swear by the glory of Allah, My Lord ordered Me to honor Ali (asws). Allah made Him Ameerul Momineen and Imam of My ummah (nation). O'people! When I was taken to the 7th heaven (on the night of ascension), I saw written on the door of the heavens, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is Messenger of Allah, and Ali (asws) is Ameerul Momineen". When I reached the noorani veils, I saw written upon every noorani veil "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger and Ali (asws) is Ameerul Momineen". When I reached to the Throne, upon every corner of the throne was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is Ameerul Momineen".

(Al Mahtazir page 170)

# 6.On every veil of jannah

Hz Sulaim bin Qais narrates RasoolAllah (saw) said, "Ali (asws) is like the shining sun in the 7th heaven. In this world, He is like a bright shining moon in the night. Allah blessed Ali (asws) with such honor and knowledge that if it were to be distributed throughout the entire world, it still would not finish. He is polite like Lut (as), kind like Isa (as), devotee like Ayub (as), forehead like Ibrahim (as), beauty is like Solomon (as), and His power is like that of Dawood (as). Ali (asws)'s name is written on every veil in Jannah. Allah blessed Ali (asws) with this actuality and Myself is also".

# 7.On noorani flags

Hz Jabir (ra) bin Abdullah (ra) says, "We were present with RasoolAllah (saw) in Nabwi Mosque. A companion mentioned jannah. RasoolAllah (saw) said, "Allah has a noorani flag. Its pole is made of emeralds. Allah created it 2000 years before the creation of the heavens. Upon it is written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His messenger, Aal e Muhammad (asws) is the best nation and O'Ali (asws)! You are the most honored and blessed".

Upon hearing this Moula (asws) said, "All praise is for Allah who blessed Us with this honor. Allah gave Us this honor through You, O'RasoolAllah (saw)." Then RasoolAllah (saw) said, "O'Ali (asws)! Do You not know the one who loves Us will be with Us". Then RasoolAllah (saw) recited this ayah _"fi maqhd sidqa inda malaika maqtader" (54:55 In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King)_

(Amali Toolsi Second Edition pg 705)

# 8.On the doors of jannah and jahannum

Hz Ibne Masood narrates RasoolAllah (saw) said, "When I was taken towards the heavens, Jibrael (as) said, "Allah ordered Me to present both jannah and jahannum to You." RasoolAllah (saw) said, "When they were brought before Me, I saw jannah and its blessings and jahannum and its punishment. There were 8 doors of jannah. On each door, 4 sentences were written. Every word was greater than the whole universe for those people who understand and follow."

Jibrael (as) said, " O'RasoolAllah (saw)! Read what is written on the doors of jannah".

I said, "I have read all of the things which were written on the doors of Jannah. Upon the first door was written, "There is no god except Allah. Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. There is a purpose for everything. The purpose of life is four things; contentment, to kill rancourness, refrains from enviousness and the accompaniment of good people".

On the second door it was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. There are four methods in which one can gain success on the day of judgment; being kind to orphans, helping widows, fulfilling the needs of muslims, and taking care of the poor".

On the third door was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. In this world good health depends upon four habits; speaking less, sleeping less, walking less, and eating less".

On the fourth door was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. Anyone who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment should honor his guests. One who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment should respect and honor his parents. One who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment should say only good things or otherwise remain silent."

On the fifth door was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. One who wants that no one should abuse him or dishonors him and does not wish to oppress someone nor be oppressed himself, then he must hold tight to the powerful chain and continuously say "La illaha illallah, Muhammadin rasullullah, Aliunwaliullah".

On the sixth door of jannah was written, "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is the Messenger of Allah, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. One who wants his grave to be widened should build mosque. One who wants the earthworms to not eat his body in the grave should spend the majority of his time in the mosque. One who wants to be clothed in the hereafter should provide dress to the poor. One who wants to be healthy and powerful should propagate the zikr (remembrance) of Allah. One who wants to remain in jannah should remain in the mosque."

On the seventh door was written, "There is no god except Allah. Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. Four acts brighten one's heart.

1.Visiting the sick

2.Attending funerals

3.Buying kafan

4.Paying debts

On the eighth door was written, "There is no god except Allah. Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. One who wants to enter jannah through these eight doors should adopt these four rituals; sadqa, generosity, morality, and removing hardships from people."

Then I saw the doors of jahannum (hell). On the first door three sayings were written; "Whoever remains hopeful of Allah will be happy. Who has fear of Allah will be in peace. That person will be destroyed who hoped from ghair Allah and feared ghair Allah (other than Allah)".

On the second door was written; "One who wants to be raised with clothing on the Day of Judgment should provide dress in this world to those without dress. One who does not want to be thirsty on the Day of Judgment should give water to the thirsty in this world. One who does not want to remain hungry on the Day of Judgment should feed the hungry in this world."

On the third door was written, "Allah's curse be upon the kafirs. Allah's curse be upon the miserly. Allah's curse be upon the oppressors."

On the fourth door these three sayings were written, "One who insults islam, may Allah degrade him. One who insults Ahlul Bayt (asws), may Allah humiliate him. One who helps the oppressor, may Allah curse him."

On the fifth door was written, "Do not follow your desires because desires take you away from iman. Do not speak abusively as it removes the mercy of Allah and do not be helpful to the oppressors." On the sixth door, it was written, "I (jahannum) am haram on those who offer tahajjud prayers and on those who fast." On the seventh door was written, "Be accountable for your deeds before you will be made to be accountable. Call Allah before you return back to Him then you will no longer be able to call upon Him."

(Fazail ibn Shazaan page 152)

# 9.Write My Decrees and Fortunes

In the hadith regarding the noorani creation of RasoolAllah (saw), it is written that Allah made a jewel from the noor of Muhammad (saw) and then divided it into two parts. He looked upon one part with the eye of jalal (respectful fear), and it turned into sweet water. Upon the second part, He looked with the eye of kindness, and it turned into Arsh (Throne).

Then He created Kursi (chair) from the noor of the Arsh and created Looh (Tablet) from the noor of Kursi and created Qalam (Pen) from the noor of Looh and ordered Him to write My tauheed. For 1000 years the Pen was awestruck and lost in the words of Allah. When He came out of His stupor, Allah ordered Him to write and He asked, "O'My Lord, what should I write"?

Allah said, "La illaha illallah Muhammadin rasoolullah". When the Pen heard the name of Muhammad (saw) He fell into sajda. He began reciting "Subhana wahid Al Qahar, Subhanul Azeem al Azam". Then He lifted His head from sajda and wrote "La illaha illallah Muhammadin rasoolullah".

Then He (Pen) asked, "O'My Lord, who is this Muhammad (saw) whose name and zirk (remembrance) You have included in Your name and zikr (remembrance)?"

Allah said, "O'Pen! If He had not been there, I would have not created You and the whole universe. He is Bashir (informer) and Nazir (warner) and Siraj e Munir (bright sun), Haseeb (noble)."

When the Pen heard the attributes of RasoolAllah (saw), He was overcome with such great feelings of love for RasoolAllah (saw) that He began saying, "Assalamu alaika ya RasoolAllah (saw)".

RasoolAllah (saw) replied to Him and said, "Peace and blessing of Allah upon You as well". This is the reason that saying salam is sunnah, and it is also the reason that replying is wajib (compulsory). Then Allah asked the Pen to write all of His decrees and destinies as well as all of that which will be created until the judgement.

(Biharul Anwar vol 15 pg 28)

# 10.On the throne of Our Lord

Imam Musa (as) ibn Jafar (asws) says, "We are present at the Arsh (Throne) of Our Lord. It is written there "Muhammad (saw) is the greatest of all the prophets. Ali (asws) is the greatest of the successors and their master. Fatima (sa) is the Master of all women. I am the revenge taker of Sifeen, Basra, and Karbala. One who will love Us and hate Our enemies will be with Us in jannah and will be the owner of the rivers of jannah. "

(Al Ikhtasas pg 87)

# 11.On a tree in India

Qulb bin Wail narrates "I saw a tree in India and upon its flowers was written "Muhammadin rasoolullah". I saw numerous trees and rocks that had Muhammad (saw) and Ali (asws) written on them."

# 12.On both sides of the sun

Abdullah bin Masood narrates " I heard RasoolAllah (saw) saying "The sun has two directions and two sides. One is towards those who live in the heavens and one is towards those who live on the earth. Upon both sides there is writing."

Then RasoolAllah (saw) asked, "Do you know what is written on it"?

We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best."

RasoolAllah (saw) said, "On the side of the sun that is towards the heavens it is written "Allah noor al samawat wal arz". (Allah is the noor of heavens and earth) On the side of the sun that is towards the earth, it is written "Ali (asws) noorul arzain" (Ali (asws) is noor of the entire earth)."

(Irshad ul Quloob Second Edition pg 182)

# 13.On rocks, trees, and leaves

RasoolAllah (saw) said, "On the night of Miraj (ascension towards heavens), I did not see a single door, veil, tree, leaf, or fruit that did not have the name of Ali (asws) written on it. Ali (asws)'s name is written on everything."

(Mashariqul Anwar ul Yaqeen pg 149)

# 14.On the veil of Arsh (Throne)

Abu Saeed Khuri narrates "One day we were sat with RasoolAllah (saw) when a person came and asked, "O'RasoolAllah (saw)! Iblees (la) said to Allah, "astabart am kunto min al aleen". Who are "aleen" (superior) in this? Are there people who are even more superior than the angels?"

RasoolAllah (saw) replied, "I, Ali (asws), Fatima (sa), Hasan (asws), and Hussain (asws) were in a tent behind the veil of Arsh (Throne). We praised Allah 2000 years before the creation of Adam (as). When Allah created Adam (as) and ordered the angels to perform sajda to Him, He gave this order because of Us. However, Iblees (la) refused. Then Allah asked him "O'Iblees (la)! Why do you refuse to perform sajda of the one whom I made with My own hands? You have become arrogant or do you consider yourself to be among the superior beings whose names are written on the veil of Arsh?"

Then RasoolAllah (saw) said, "We are the doors of Allah through which He reveals. We are the source of guidance, and those who seek guidance do so through Us. One who loves Us Allah will love him and bless him with jannah. One who hates Us Allah will hate him and throw him into jahannum".

(Fazail ul Shia pg 49)

# 15.On the pillars of the heavens

A woman from amongst the jinns came to RasoolAllah (saw) and embraced islam. She would visit with RasoolAllah (saw) once in the week. One time she did not return until after 40 days. RasoolAllah (saw) asked her what was the reason of her being so late in coming. She said, "I had to visit that ocean which covers this whole world. There I saw a person sat upon its bank on a great mountain. He had his hands raised towards the heavens and was saying, "O'Allah! I ask You to forgive me for the sake of Muhammad (saw), Ali (asws), Fatima (sa), Hasan (asws), and Hussain (asws), but You did not forgive me." I asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am Iblees (la)". I asked again, "How do you know these personalities"? He replied, "I had worshipped Allah for a very long time on this earth and in the heavens. I have not seen a single pillar in the heavens where it is not written "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is Ameerul Momineen through whom Allah helped Muhammad (saw)."

(Al Mohasin pg 273)

# 16.On noorani crowns

RasoolAllah (saw) said to Moula Ali (asws), "On the day of judgement You will be brought forward in a noorani caravan and You will be wearing a noorani crown that has 4 sides. On each side these 3 lines will be written; "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is Allah's Messenger, and Ali (asws) is Wali of Allah." Then a great chair will be brought forward and the keys of jannah will be given to You. The whole creation will be presented before You. You will take Your shia into jannah and throw Your enemies into hell because You are the distributor of jannah and jahannum. You are the trustee of Allah."

(Mashariqul Anwar ul Yaqeen pg 181)

# 17.On the leaves of the trees in China

Muhammd bin Sanan narrates "One day I was sat with Imam Sadiq (asws) and a person came. Imam (asws) replied, "Who is at the door"?

I said, "A man from China".

Imam (asws) said, "Bring him inside". Imam (asws) asked him, "Do you know Us in China"?

He replied, "Yes".

Then Imam (asws) asked, "How do you know Us"?

He replied, "O'Son of RasoolAllah (saw)! There is a tree in China and every year a flower grows from it. It changes its color twice in the day. In the morning we see written on it "La illaha illallah Muhammadin rasoolullah", and in the evening "La illaha illallah Ali calipha RasoolAllah (saw)".

(Madina tul Moajiz Second Edition pg 460)

# 18.In the book of Moula Ali (asws)

Abu Jafar (asws) says, "I saw the book of Moula Ali (asws) and upon it was written "The worth of every man depends on his level of marifat. Allah will punish or reward according to the amount of intellect that was given to him in this world."

(Maani ul Akbar)

# 19.On the leaves of the trees in jannah

RasoolAllah (saw) said in the hadith of Miraj, "When I was taken to the fifth heaven, the angels who were present there welcomed Me like I was one of their fellow angels (they called Me by My name). I said to them, "How do you know Us and recognize Us in this way"? They replied, "How could we not recognize You"? Whenever we pass by the Arsh we see these writings "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Allah helped Him through Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as)." This is how we know that Ali (asws) is the Wali of Allah. Say our salams to Ameerul Momineen (asws)."

Then I was taken to the sixth heaven. The angels who were present there welcomed Me in the same manner as the previous angels. I asked them, "O'angels! How do you know Us"?

They replied, "When Allah created jannah, there is a tree beside its door and upon its every leaf it is written with noor "There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, and Ali (asws) is His strong chain and rope and the caretaker of the whole of creation. Say our salam to Ali (asws)."

(Tafseer e Furat pg 133)

# 20.On the wings of Jibrael (as)

RasoolAllah (saw) said, "Once Jibrael (as) spread his wings. On one wing was written "There is no god except Allah and Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger". On the other wing was written "There is no god except Allah and Ali (asws) is Wali of Allah".

# 21.A dua written on the wings of Jibrael (as)

When the Jewish gathered to murder Hz Isa (as), Jibrael (as ) took Him under His wing. Then Hz Isa (as) said on his wing was written, "O'Allah! I praise You with that Name (Ali) which is most honored, most glorious, and most high. This name is the cause of the survival of the entire creation. Protect me from all sufferings and difficulties which I face everyday."

(Al Noor ul Mubeen fi Qasas al Anbia wa Mursaleen)

# 22.On Chair

RasoolAllah (saw) said, "Arsh, Kursi, and the heavens would never have been established nor would the earth and heavens have been able to survive if there had not been written on them "La illaha illallah Muhammadin rasoolullah Aliun Ameerul Momineen"

(Al Waiz)

# 23.Name of Moula Ali (asws) on tablet

When Moula Ali (asws) appeared in the house of Hz Abu Talib (as), He (Hz Abu Talib as) held the hand of His Mother, Fatima (sa) binte Asad (asws), placed Moula Ali (asws) on His chest, and went towards a river and said, "O'the Lord of dark nights and bright sun! Tell us what is the mystery behind the name "Ali"? Before Us appeared something that was similar to a cloud on the heaven, Hz Abu Talib (as) took hold of it and returned back. In the morning He saw it was a green tablet and written upon it was "We have blessed You with a tahir (pure), honored, and glorious Son. The meaning of His name is Most High Most Great. This tablet was placed inside of the Kaaba until Hasham bin Abdul Mulk removed it from there."

(Fazail ibne Shazaan pg 12)

# 24.On the base of the Arsh

Imam Reza (asws) says, "When Allah ordered the angels to perform sajda to Adam (as) and allowed him to enter jannah and blessed him with such honor, Adam (as) thought in his heart "Has Allah made anyone who is greater than me"? The voice of Allah came "O'Adam! Lift your head and see the base of the Arsh. When he looked, he saw written there "There is no god except Allah. Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger. Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib is Ameerul Momineen. His Wife Fatima Zahra (sa) is the Mistress of all the women of all the worlds. Hasan (asws) and Hussain (asws) are the Masters of Jannah."

(Al Jowahir ul Sannia)

# 25.On everything

When Allah created Arsh, He wrote on it "La illaha illallah Muhamamdin rasoolullah Aliun Ameerul Momineen". Allah wrote the same words on water, Chair, Tablet, on the face of Israfeel (asws), on the wings of Jibrael (as), on the sides of the earth and heavens, on the tops of the mountains, on the sun and moon."

(Al Jowahir ul Sannia)

# 26.On the door of jannah

RasoolAllah (saw) said, "These words were written on the door of jannah

"There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (saw) is His Messenger, Ali (asws) is His brother and Wali of Allah. His Wilayat was made wajib (compulsory) 2000 years before the creation of the earth and heavens. One who wants that when Allah sees him He (Allah) is pleased with him then he love Ali (asws) and His Offspring because They are My Friends, Caliphs and Beloved."

(Al Jowahir ul Sannia)

# 27.On Arsh (Throne)

Once all of the children of Adam (as) were gathered together in one place. They were debating about who was greater in the creation of Allah. Some said "Our father, Adam (as)". Some said, "Honored angels". Some said, "Those angels who carry the Arsh are greater". During this time Habbatullah came and they informed him of their differences. Then he went to Hz Adam (as) and informed him that his brothers were disputing about who was greater in the creation of Allah. I (Habbatullah) had no answer so I could not tell them. Adam (as) said, "O'my son! I was standing in front of Allah and I saw these words written on the Arsh ;"In the name of Allah who is merciful and kind. Muhammad (saw) and His Offspring are the best among the Chosen Ones."

(Qasas ul Rawindi)

# 28.Moula Ali (asws)'s name along with RasoolAllah (saw)'s name

Both of them were extremely frustrated and worried as to how they would be treated by Firoan. Along the way, they saw a rider approaching them. He was wearing a dress adorned with gold and silver stitching and holding a sword made of gold. He said to them, "Follow Me. Do not have any fear." This rider reached the court of Firoan and said, "Obey these two prophets. If you do not, I will kill you." Upon hearing these words, Firoan became so frightened. Then this rider disappeared. Firoan asked Hz Musa (as) and Haroon to come to his court the next day and say whatever it was they wished to say. When Musa (as) and Haroon (as) left, Firoan asked his guards, "Why did you allow this rider to enter without my permission?" The guards replied, "We swear by your honor, we did not see any rider. We only saw these two brothers."

That rider was Ameerul Momineen Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as). Allah hiddenly helped all the prophets through Ali (asws) and openly helped Muhammad (saw) through Ali (asws). Moula Ali (asws) is that great Kalim ul Kubra (greatest word of Allah) which Allah sent in order to help His prophets in every age and in various forms. Ali (asws) always was a helper to the prophets, messengers, and friends of Allah. All the prayers of the prophets, messengers and friends of Allah were accepted through Moula Ali (asws). All of their problems, difficulties, and sufferings were removed through Moula Ali (asws). This ayah of Quran refers to that incident; _"We shall appoint a sultan for the both of you and Firoan and his followers will not be able to reach you because of Our Signs."

Blessing of Allah and His mercy be upon You. I testify You and Your Offspring are pure and sacred.

I testify O' Wali of Allah O' Wali of RasoolAllah (saw), that You conveyed the message of Allah. I testify You are the door of Allah. His Beloved. You are the side of Allah. You are the way that takes one towards Allah. You are the slave of Allah and brother of RasoolAllah (saw). I came to You in order to gain the nearness of Allah through Your ziarat and to gain Your shifaat (intercession).

I seek to free myself from jahannum through Your shifaat. I seek Your shelter from jahannum. I have brought uncountable sins with me. I am scared of the wrath of Allah. I came to You because You are the hope. You are the one from whom I seek shifaat, O' my Moula (asws)! I seek the nearness of Allah through You. Allah will fulfill all of my needs through You. You shall intercede on my behalf. O' Ameerul Momineen (asws)! I am a slave of Allah, Your lover, and Your visitor. Your status is very high and near to Allah.

O' Allah! Send Your blessings upon Muhammad (saw) wa Aal e Muhammad (asws) and Ameerul Momineen (asws) who is Your beloved creation, Your trustee, Your strong rope, Your high hand, Your best kalima (testimony), and Your Hujjat (proof) upon creation, Your most trustworthy, Master of the successors, Master of Awliya, Master of all those who are blessed, Ameerul Momineen, Master of the religion, Master of the pious, Imam of the sincere, free from every sin, free from every fault, free from every doubt, brother of RasoolAllah (saw), successor of Rasool (saw), one who slept on His bed and sacrificed His nafs in Your way, the one who removed all the hardships from the path of RasoolAllah (saw), the one You declared the sword of nabuwiat, sign of prophet hood, a witness upon the ummah, proof of truth, standbearer, caretaker of RasoolAllah (saw), leader of the ummah, Your power, the door of Your secrets, and the key of every success.

"All praise be to Allah who divided the heavens and established the atmosphere and laid out the immense universe and caused the Luminance to shine and gave life to the dead and caused the living to die. I praise Him with such a shining and elevated praise, a praise that is luminescent and ascends to the highest reaches of the heavens. He created the heavens without pillars and set them up right without any supports. Then He beautified the heavens with radiant planets and caused the dark clouds to be trapped within their spheres. He created the ever flowing oceans and caused the mountains to rise. When He unleashed their waters, their mighty waves were massive. I give praise unto Him and to Him all praise is due. I testify there is no god but Him and I bear witness that Muhammad (saw) is His servant and His Messenger and He was chosen by Allah as the best from amongst the creation. Allah sent Him unto the Arabs and appointed Him to guide others for He Himself was rightly guided. He was indeed wonderous. Muhammad (saw) presented proof before the people and the muslims gained guidance through Him. Allah established His religion through Him, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him and His Holy Family.

O'people! Turn repentantly towards Me and hold fast to your pledge of allegiance with Me, remain steadfast in your faith with absolute certainty. Hold fast to the Successor of the Prophet in whom lies your salvation and whose love is your refuge on the day of judgment. I am hope and I am the one to be hoped for.

I am the one that stands upon Two Gulfs!

I am the one that looks upon the east and the west. I have seen the glories of the heavens with My own eyes while the seventh heaven was moving in its orbit and within it were the stars and their orbits. I saw the earth folded like a small cloth lying within its foundations on the right side facing the east and the Twin Gulfs. On the left of the Two Gulfs lies a vast expanse of water. I saw the circle that was surrounding all of this and the heavens keeping all that there was within was like nothing more than a ring upon the finger of thy Lord. I saw the sun as it was setting and it was like a bird that is searching for its nest. If it were not for the Lord of Paradise and the Two Gulfs, then all that is in the heavens and the earth would hear its tumultuous descent into the Black Water that is known as the Warm Fountain. I know the secrets of Allah that no one knows except Allah Himself. I know all that was and all that will be even with those who preceded the First Adam (as). I knew for all things were revealed unto Me. Therefore, hasten and do not cause an uproar. If I knew you would not say, "Ali (asws) has gone astray and left His Iman", then I would inform you of all of the happenings regarding the day of judgment. I am the trustee of all of the knowledge which has been hidden from all of the prophets except for the Lord of this Sharia (Muhammad saw). He taught Me His knowledge and I taught Him My knowledge. Verily, We are the warners of old and shall continue to be the everlasting warners from Allah.

All those who will be destroyed will be destroyed through Us and all those who will receive salvation will do so through Us. You will never be able to comprehend Our station. I swear by the righteous of the One whose authority causes the seed to grow and breathes the spirit of life into all things, by Him who alone is glorious and all mighty. The world and all of its temptations were lain before Me. Yet I turned away from it. Then how is it that I shall be overcome by such events?

I know all that is above the highest reaches of jannah and all that which is below the lowest depths of the seventh ocean and all that is between them. I came into being while having possession of this knowledge. I did not have to acquire it. I swear by the Lord of the Tremendous Throne, if I desired I could inform you as to where all of your forefathers were and from whom they descend and where they are now and how it was they came to be in their place! How many of you are devouring the property of your brother and drinking the fountainhead of your father while at the same time wishing to be with them! If you only knew! When all that is hidden becomes known and all that which is hidden in the chests of men is revealed, I swear by Allah, you will have already been returned to clay and you will have already been given your just favours. How many signs were there for you from those who had died and those who were slain. I know all that is hidden within all of the creation. Mankind is between those who have departed and those that are being encouraged on. If I were to show you all that has been revealed unto Me from times of old until the end of time that has no end, then you would be amazed by many a wondrous event.

I am the Lord of the First Creation before the First Nuh (as). If you could comprehend, then I would tell you of all that was between Adam (as) and Nuh (as) and of all the nations I brought about and all of those nations I caused to be destroyed. I am the Lord of the First and Second Floods. I am the Lord of the Deluge of Iram. I am the Lord of Secrets. I am the Lord of Ad and its gardens. I am the Lord of Thamud and its wondrous signs. I am also the one who destroyed Thamud. I am the one that caused the earth to quake. I am the creator of those civilizations and their destroyer. I am the cause of their end and the cause of their beginning. I am the first and the last. I am the Zahir (apparent) and the Batin (hidden). I am the beginning of all beginnings. I was with the Pen before the Pen. I was with the Tablet before it was revealed. I am the Lord of the First Creation. I am the Lord of Jabulqa and Jabulsa. I am the Lord of Rafraf and Bahram. I am the one who established the creation before the existence of the heaven and the earth as you comprehend them to be.

The son of Suwairama said, "Are You that One?"

Ameerul Momineen (asws) replied, "I am that One"

There is no god but Allah who is My Lord and the Lord of the entire creation. He established the creation according to His wisdom and through His amr (command) raised the heavens and the earth. I am aware of those amongst you with weak iman who are saying: "Is this not the son of Abu Talib (as) whom just yesterday was overcome by the people of Syria and He sent Muhammad and Ibrahim to fight them?" Rest assured I shall fight on numerous occasions and I shall be victorious every time. I will fight their armies at Siffeen and I will give sustenance to the believers until justice is fulfilled. I will fight for Ammar (ra), Yassir (ra), and Owais e Qarani (ra). None shall say, "How, when or with whose support?"

We have been given the knowledge of all destinies and of all tribulations. We possess the knowledge of interpretation, revelation, and Fazl al Khitab (blessed speech) as well as knowledge of all future adversities and afflictions. There is nothing in the entire creation that We do not possess the knowledge of in its minutest details. This is the absolute truth.

Moula Ali (asws) pointed towards Imam Hussain (asws) and said, "I will see Him when His noor departs from this world. I will be present with Him when the earth trembles and quakes. Those that claim to be believers will abandon Him. I swear by Allah, if I so desired, I could tell you each one of their names as well as their lineage from both parents from their beginning until the day of judgment.

Then Moula Ali (asws) said, "O'Jabir! You are with Haq and you will be with Haq in the hereafter and it is on haq that you will die.

O'Jabir! When the trumpet will ring loudly and the bewilderment encompasses man, on that day many a wondrous event will occur. The fire will ignited. The banner of the house of uthman (la) will appear in the Black Valley. Basra will be plagued by doubts. They will attempt to overthrow one and another. The armies of Khurasan begin to depart and Shoaib, the son of Salih of Tamim will be followed in Taliqan. Saeed of Shusha will be followed in Khuzistan and the banner of the Kurds will be raised by the Amalekites. The Arabs will seek victory over Armenia and the Slavs. Heraclitus will submit to the elders of Sinan in Constantinople. After all of this has passed, you should anxiously await the revelation of the speaker of Mt Sinai. All of this shall pass with clear signs, easily seen by all. However, there are many a wondrous sign I have not mentioned and many explanations I have not disclosed for there is none amongst you that is able to bearthem.

I am the one who ordered Iblees (la) to perform sajda to Adam (as). I am the one who raised Idris to the heavens. I am the one through whom Isa (as) spoke from the cradle when He was still an infant. I am the one who caused the flattening of the valleys. I am the one who organized the Earth in its proper places. I am the one who divided it into its five parts, land sea, mountains, inhabited, and uninhabited. I am the one who separated the Red Sea from Tarjim and Aqim from the Red Sea. I am Tirathia, Janbutha, Barhilion, and Aliuthoutha. I am the one who brings forth from the oceans that which inhabits them.

Then Moula Ali (asws) gave Ammar bin Yassir 12,000 men whom were believers and followers of Allah and His Messenger, and each had 12,000 armies of angels to support them saying "Rejoice for you are the best of believers and after this there shall be a star through whom all things shall come to pass. The secrets and mysteries will become clear to you when Bahram and Keyvan rise together and become as One. When the trembling and quaking of the earth shall follow each other at rapid pace and the banners will be lifted up from the shores of Oxus to the desert of Babylon. Then you will come to know;

I am the one that caused the wind to blow. I am the remover of all difficulties. I am the Lord of Mt Sinai. I am that Noor. I am that blinding noor that was shone to Musa (as) and all was given unto Me by Allah, the Lord of Glory. I am the Lord of paradise. I am the one that causes the rivers to flow from the divine currents of milk and honey.

I am the one that caused the fires of hell to blaze and established its many levels. First the hell of Saeer. Then the hell of Saqar and lastly the lowest parts of hell that have been made for the transgressors. All of these are maintained in the Valley of Solitude. Again I swear by the Lord who brings for the dawn, the Lord of all creation, within this valley lies both Jibt and Taghut along with their servants and whosoever denies the Lord of this world and the hereafter.

I am the creator and sustainer of all of the expanses of this world by the command of the one who is all knowing and all wise. I am the Word through which all things come into being and through which the universes are lain in their orbits. I am the one who made the domains of the earth to be four and the islands to be seven; the domain of the South is the receiver of all glory, the domain of the North is to be the authority and dominion, the domain of Sheba is to be the center of earthquakes and the Desert domain is to be the center of many afflictions. Woe be to those who will come attempting to destroy and distort justice. Woe will be when afflictions rise from that government of eunuchs, ignorant, and effeminate rulers. On that day, many a liar shall come forth bring a claim of falsehood. On that day, wait anxiously for your arc of salvation. On that day Allah will make the dirt of Najaf into treasures of gold that shall be strewn wherever the believer shall set his foot and with that same dust of gold, the kafirs and munafiqs (hypocrites) will be exposed. Then the valley of bright red rubies, pearls, and emeralds be looked upon as worthless. This will be a a clear sign and when it occurs the noor of Allah will shine forth and His Glory will become manifest. All that you desire and all that is hidden within you will become known.

O'you whose desires are like that of the cattle and beasts of the fields! What will be your status when the banners of the sons of Kenan and those of uthman (la) fall upon you in the battlefield? Know without doubt these events will never be known by one related to umayya (la) or ady (la).

Then Moula Ali (asws) wept and then said, "O'Alas for the nations! Soon some munafiqs (hypocrites) will say that "Ali (asws) has claimed the godhead for Himself" but you are witness that "Ali (asws) is truly a created being, a servant, nourished of divine sustenance and whoever denies this shall be accursed by Allah".

Moula Ali (asws) then descended the mimbar and said, "I seek refuge with Him who created the heavens and the earth. I seek protection through Him who possesses all Authority and Glory. O'people! No one will say these words but when trials and tribulations fall upon man it is that same Allah who will cause them to be removed through this prayer."

Jabir said, "Only those words?"

I am a curse upon the enemies of RasoolAllah (saw). I am the pillar of His help. I am that wrath whom Allah sent upon His enemies. I have full authority over the souls of man. I am the distributor of the displeasure of Allah. I am the names of Allah in Quran.

Be aware! Do not try to interpret them according to your own desires. Otherwise you will go astray in your religion. Allah says "Certainly Allah is with those who do good deeds". I am that good deed. Allah says, 'Allah is with those who are trustworthy'. I am those who are trustworthy. I am the crier of this world and in the hereafter.

Verily I am that 'izn' (ear) of Allah who hears those who call upon Allah and His Rasool (saw). Allah says 'and those people who remember Allah all of the time'. I am from Those people as is My Uncle, My Brother, My Cousin, and all of the true companions of RasoolAllah (saw). None of those who are Our true lovers will enter into the jahannum (hellfire). None of Our enemies will enter into jannah (paradise). Allah says 'on the day of judgment there will be a few people who will recognize each other by their signs'. I am that sign. Allah says 'I am the one who created man with water'. Allah says 'an ear will remember Him'. I am that Ear. I am the one who protected RasoolAllah (saw).

Remember! A munafiq (hypocrite) is recognized through My hatred and a momin is tested through My love. This is the promise of the Prophet that momin will love Me and munafiqs will hate Me. I am the inheritor of the flag of RasoolAllah (saw) in this world and in the hereafter. I swear by Allah, My lover will not be thirsty and afraid on the day of judgment. I have come to know muawiyah (la) has been abusive towards Me. O'Allah! Send Your eternal wrath upon him and curse him. O' the Lord of the universe! O' the Lord of Ismael (asws)! O' the Lord of Ibrahim (as)! Verily, You are the greatest!"

In Quran, Allah says, " _Lest a soul should say; O woe to me! For what I fell short of my duty to Allah" (39:56)._ I am a mercy upon His slaves. I am the door of repentance. One who recognizes Me with My truth has recognized His Lord. I am the successor of the Prophet of Allah upon the earth. I am Hujjat (proof) of Allah upon His creation."

Asbagh bin Nabata narrates "I was sitting along with Ameerul Momineen (asws) in the mosque in Kufa. Ameerul Momineen (asws) was delivering a sermon in the mosque. A group of people then arrived. Aswad was with them.

They said, "O'Ameerul Momineen (asws)! Aswad is a thief."

Ameerul Momineen (asws) asked him, "O'Aswad! Have you stolen something?"

He replied, "Yes, O' Ameerul Momineen (asws)."

Moula (asws) said, "May your mother cry over if you repeat this a second time, then I will cut off your hand".

Aswad said, "Yes O' Ameerul Momineen".

Moula (asws) said, "Do you know what you are saying?"

He said, "Yes O' Ameerul Momineen (asws)".

Ameerul Momineen (asws) ordered his hand to be cut off. After his hand had been cut off, he covered it with his left hand and went out of the mosque. Along the way, he met Abdullah bin Al Kawa. He asked Aswad, "O'Aswad, who cut your right hand?"

Aswad replied, "My right hand was cut by the master of successors, Imam of the people with shining foreheads. The one who cut my hand is master of Momineen, master of the religion who is the qibla of arifeen (those with marifat), the most brave, the killer of kufr, caliph of RasoolAllah (saw). He is the intercessor on the day of judgment. He is the Imam of the entire creation and the rope of Allah. He is the example of Musa (as) and Haroon (as). My hand was cut by the one who is the Imam of haq (truth) and master of the entire creation. He is the manifestation of religion and killer of mushriqeen (polytheists). He is the victorious of Badr and Hunain. He is the master of pious and friend of Allah. My hand was cut by the one who is Mazher ul Ajaib, Sahib ul Moajizat, and solver of all problems. He is the best judge. My hand was cut by one whose love is such a virtue that no evil can diminish it and His hatred is such evil that no virtue can be of benefit. My hand was cut by Hashimi, Makki, Madni, Talibi, Hijazi, Taqi, Naqi, Wasi, Mafri, Rabee, Zaki, and Lozi.

My hand was cut the one who possesses the whole knowledge of the book. My hand was cut by the one who is the Imam of the day of judgment. My hand was cut by the one who the entire creation will stand before on the day of judgment. My hand was cut by the one who is the master of Jibrael (as) and possesses all the knowledge of Zuboor and Injeel. My hand was cut by the one who is my wasila (intercessor) before Allah and cure for all of my ailments. He is the greatest worshipper and devotee. My hand was cut by the one who fought with two swords, two spears, and prayed towards two qiblas. My hand was cut by the Father of Hasan (asws) and Hussain (asws) and husband of Fatima Zahra Syedatul Nisa al Alameen (sa). My hand was cut by the one who appeared in the house of Allah (Kaaba) and who is the lion of Allah.

My hand was cut by the one who gave honor to Mecca. My hand was cut by the one who is master of Kausar and who will carry the flag on the day of judgment. He is the second of the Ahlul Kisa (people of the cloak) and slept in the bed of RasoolAllah (saw). He removed the door of Khayber. He fought with jinns and freed people from their atrocities. He spoke with a snake from the mimbar of Kufa. My hand was cut by the one who said to the people "Ask Me before you lose Me. I possess knowledge of all things." My hand was cut by the one who is the greatest news and Sirat ul Mustaqeen (straight path). He is the Father of the Sacred Imams (asws). He is the one Allah calls as "umm al Kitab" (reality of the book) in His book. He is most high and most wise. My hand was cut by the one who is the sign of Allah and helper of the religion of Allah. He is the protector of the house of Allah. He is the trustee of all the secrets of Allah. He is the advisor of the slaves of Allah and Hujjat (proof) of Allah. He calls people towards the shariat of Allah.

My hand was cut by the one who is the most trustworthy, most kind, and helper of widows and orphans. My hand is cut by the one who is praised in the book of Allah. He broke the idols in the house of Allah. He is the pillar of Islam. He is the cousin of RasoolAllah (saw). My right hand was cut by the one who is the Father of the Imams (asws) and the sun in the darkness. He is the guide of the ummah. He is the remover of grief. He is the owner of all the blessings of Allah. He is the most high, most courageous, and most brave. His face shines bright with noor. He is the father of Shabbir and Shabeer. My hand was cut by the one who is killer of amar bin abduwad (la) and marhab (la). He is the Imam of arabs and ajim.

He is the one for whom RasoolAllah (saw) took His bayyat in Ghadeer in a great gathering and whose obedience is wajib (compulsory) upon everyone until the day of judgment. My hand was cut by one who is the most knowledgeable and the one who is the judge between jinns and humans. He is the one whose attributes are uncountable. My hand was cut by the one who is the recitor of Quran. He is the one whom Allah revealed both hiddenly and openly. My hand was cut by the one who is most patient, greatest worshipper, and best forgiver. My hand was cut by one who is with haq (truth) and haq is with Him. My hand was cut by the one who is the noor of the east and west. He is the wrath of Allah. My hand was cut by Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as)."

At that moment ibn al Kawa said, "O'Aswad! Ameerul Momineen (asws) has cut off your hand but you praise Him in this manner?"

Aswad replied, "How can I not praise Him when His love is mixed with my blood and flesh?" ibn al Kawa went to Ameerul Momineen (asws) and said, "O' my Master! I have just witnessed a most strange incident."

Moula (asws) asked, "What have you seen?"

He said, "I came upon Aswad just after You had cut off his right hand. He was holding his right hand with his left hand, and I asked him, "Who cut your hand?" He replied, "My Master, Ameerul Momineen (asws)." Then ibn al Kawa repeated what all Aswad had said, "How can I not praise my Master whose love is mixed with my blood and flesh?"

Upon hearing this, Ameerul Momineen (asws) asked Imam Hasan (asws) to bring Aswad to Him. Imam Hasan (asws) went and found Aswad, and then He brought him to Ameerul Momineen (asws).

Moula (asws) asked him, "O'Aswad, I cut your hand and yet you praise Me."

Aswad replied, "How can I not praise You when Your love is mixed with my blood and flesh? I swear by Allah, You rightly so cut my hand and freed me from the punishment on the day of judgment."

Then Moula (asws) turned to the people and said, "Have I not told you there are such people that if We cut them into pieces by Our swords, their love for Us will increase and there are such people that even if We feed them pure honey, their hatred for Us will only increase." Then Moula (asws) took his hand that had been cut off and put it back on his arm and wrapped His cloak around it. Then Moula (asws) prayed 2 rakat prayer and made dua. Then Moula (asws) removed the cloak and said, "O' cut hand, return to your previous state by the order of Allah". Then Aswad's hand returned to normal as if it had never been cut off.

Aswad stood up and was saying, "I believed in Allah and His Prophet (saw) and Ameerul Momineen (asws) who returned my hand after it had been cut off." Then Aswad fell down upon the feet of Ameerul Momineen (asws) and said, "May my parents be sacrificed upon You, O' Inheritor of the knowledge of prophets". Then Aswad returned to his house."

# 66.Safeer al Safraa (representative of representatives)

This narration is taken from a letter from Sheik Abi Jafar al Tulsi. Ibn Shazaan narrated this from Jabir bin Yazid who narrated it from the companions of Ameerul Momineen (asws). "One day Salman (as)came to Ameerul Momineen (asws) and asked Ameerul Momineen (asws) about Himself. Moula (asws) replied, "O' Salman (as)! I am the one whose obedience was presented before every nation. Those who denied Me I threw into hellfire. I am the trustee of Allah. I only speak haq (truth). No one can gain My true marifat except those who were with Me in Malial Alala.

Then Imam Hasan (asws) and Imam Hussain (asws) came. Moula (asws) said, "O'Salman (as)! They are the glory of the throne of Allah. The heavens shine due to the noor of Hasan (asws) and Hussain (asws). Their Mother (sa) is the best of creation. One who fulfills His promise with Me associates himself with haq. One who does not fulfill his promise associates himself with batil (falsehood) and hellfire will be his abode. I am the clear proof of Allah. I am His Immortal Kalima. I am the representative of representatives."

Salman (as) said, "O'Ameerul Momineen (asws)! I read about You in Taurah and Injeel. May my parents be sacrificed upon You. I swear by Allah, if people had not said they will kill Salman (as), I would have told them Your true attributes. You are that proof of Allah through whom the repentance of Adam (as) gained acceptance. Through You, Yusuf (as) was freed from the well. You are the one through whom Allah sent His mercy upon Ayyub (as)."

Ameerul Momineen (asws) said, "Do you know the reason of Allah's mercy upon Ayyub?"

Salman (as) said, "Allah knows and You know".

Ameerul Momineen (asws) said, "Ayyub doubted in My kingdom. Allah said to Ayyub, "O' Ayyub (as), do you doubt in the one whom I have chosen? I tested Adam (as) and then forgave him through the test of Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) and you doubt in His kingdom? I swear by My honor, you will taste My wrath or you accept the obedience of Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) with repentance". Then Ayyub (as) repented and was forgiven by Allah. He testified to My (Moula asws) obedience".

Mariam (sa) binte Imran had to eat dates by her own hands. When I entered in the house of Allah, I ate the fruits of jannah.

When I was about to depart, a crier said, "O'Fatima (sa)! Name this child "Ali". He is Ali and Allah the Most High says, "I named Him from amongst My names and taught Him My hidden knowledge. He is the one who will destroy the idols in My house and will recite adhan on the back of My house. He will recite the greatness of My praises. There is jannah for anyone who will love and obey Him.

Allah said, "They are those through whom My creation will seek My intercession and I will intercede through Them."

Adam said, "O' My Lord! They have great importance to You. What are Their names?"

Allah said, "I am Mahmood and first of Them is Muhammad (saw), I am Ala and the second of Them is Ali (asws). I am Fatir and the third from Them is Fatima (sa). I am Mohsin and the fourth from Them is Hasan (asws). I am Ahsan and the fifth from Them is Hussain (asws). They all praise Me, Allah".

Another group said, "Ali (asws) was named "Ali" because He was married in the heavens and no one in the whole creation of Allah was married in the heavens." Another group said, "Ali (asws) was named "Ali" because He was the most knowledgable after RasoolAllah (saw)".

Abu Hamza Thumali narrates from Imam Muhammad Baqir (asws) that Ameerul Momineen (asws) said, "Verily Allah was unique in His oneness. Then He spoke through His kalimah. He then created Me and My Offspring. Then He spoke and created ruh (spirit) through His kalimah. Then He placed this spirit in the noor. Then He placed this noor in Our physical forms. We are the spirit of Allah and His kalimat (words). We resided under the green shadow. There was no sun, moon, day, night nor any eye to witness them. We were worshipping Him and performing His tasbeeh. We were doing this before the creation of the universe. Then He took the oath of allegiance from all of the prophets of Iman (faith) and nusrat (help). For Us,

He said, " _And when Allah made a covenant through the prophets: Certainly what I have given you of Book and Wisdom, then a messenger comes to you verifying that which is with you, you must believe in him and you must aid him (3:81)_ ". Allah made it wajib (compulsory) upon every prophet to believe in Muhammad (saw) and help His successor. Soon they will help Him.

Verily, Allah took the oath of allegiance for My help along with the oath of allegiance for belief in Muhammad (saw). I fought for Muhammad (saw) and slaughtered His enemies and fulfilled My promise with Allah. However, Allah's prophets and messengers did not help Me. Allah will bring back to life all of the prophets from Adam (as) to Muhammad (saw) and all will fight alongside Me. How strange it is that Allah shall bring the dead back to life! They will call from Talbia "I am present, I am present". They will call towards Allah and cut the throats of His enemies until Allah will fulfill His promise to the momins to make them as His caliphs upon this earth as He had done so before. He will establish that religion for them that He had chosen for them. Then He will bestow upon them peace after they have known fear. They will worship Him and will not commit shirk. They will worship Him in the state of iman (faith). The momins will not dispute amongst each other. They will not practice taqiya. They will return after the return (rajat).

Verily, I am the one who shall return over and over. All of the kingdoms and wonders are for Me. I am the slave of Allah, brother of RasoolAllah (saw), trustee of Allah, trustee of the secrets of Allah. I am the face of Allah, His path, His scale. I am that kalimah (word) of Allah that causes the people to gather and causes the gatherings to disperse. I am the greatest names of Allah. I am His best example. I am His greatest sign (Ayatul Kubra). I am the Lord of heaven and hell. I will place the inhabitants of the heavens and hells in their proper places. I will arrange the marriage of the inhabitants of jannah and punish the inhabitants of hell. I will be standing on Araf. I am Dabitul Arz. I am the distributor of hell. I am the Lord of the treasures of jannah. I am the Lord of Araaf. I am Ameerul Momineen. Master of the pious. The sign of previous nations. The tongue of the speakers. Seal of Successors. Inheritor of Prophets. Caliph of Allah. Siratul Mustaqeem (straight path). Allah's proof upon the heavens and earth and all that is between them and on them. I am the witness of Allah upon the creation.

I was witness to your creation and will be witness on the day of judgment. I am the one who has ilm ul mania, ilm ul wasia, ilm ul baliya, ilm ul kaziya. I am Fazl ul Kitab (blessed speech). I am the one for whom the clouds, the lighting, the darkness, light, wind, mountains, oceans, stars, sun, and moon were made to be obedient to. I am the one who slew the nation of Aad and Thamud and the people of Ras. I am the one who slew Firoan. I am the one who saved Musa (as). I am Qarn al Hadeed. I am the Farooq (honor) of this nation. I am the one who guides. I am the one who has knowledge of all things. O' people, ask Me before you lose Me.

O' Allah, I make You as witness without You I have nothing. You have blessed Me with all greatness. Thanks be to Allah."

I swear by My age, "RasoolAllah (saw) has said, "Recognition of Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) as Noor is in fact the recognition of Allah. Recognition of Allah in terms of His Noor is the pure deen (religion)."

Then Moula (asws) said:

"He who has only outward belief in My Wilayat while inwardly having animosity will obtain no benefit from any of His deeds."

"O'Salman (as)! Only when one recognizes Me with My Noor only then will he be able to attain iman (faith). Only those who recognize Me with My Noor are the true believers. He is the one whose heart has been tested by Allah with true iman (faith). He is the one in whose heart the true Islam is amplified. Thus he shall become an "Arif" (gnostic) and "Mastabser" (clairvoyant). The one who does not recognize Me with My Noor falls into ambiguity and becomes of those who are followers of shaitan (la).

O'Salman (as)! O'Jondab (ra)! Verily Recognizing Me as Noor is the recognition of Allah. My Recognition is Allah's Recognition. Recognition of Allah is Recognition of Me. This is the true religion. Allah did not place upon mankind any order other than to accept _Tauheed e Allah (98:5) (Oneness of Allah)._ Testifying to the prophet hood of RasoolAllah (saw) is the true religion. Whenever Allah orders to "establish prayer" it refers to the belief in My Wilayat. One who pledges his allegiance and submits himself completely unto Me has truly established "salat" (prayer). Yet this matter is difficult, exceedingly difficult! Zakat (poor rate) is the acknowledgment of the greatness of the attributes of Aimmah (asws). All of this is the true religion.

As attested to in the Holy Quran, true iman (faith) is the recognition of tauheed (oneness) and the testimony of nabuwat and wilayat. One who acts upon these beliefs achieves deen (religion).

O'Salman (as)! O'Jondab (ra)! One whom after being tested by Allah instantly accepts Our Amr (authority) and does not reject any matter which pertains to Us is a momin and Allah will open his heart to the acceptance of Our Amr (authority/command). He will not display even an element of doubt or suspicion. However he who objects with "why and how" becomes a kafir (disbeliever). Therefore be submissive to the Amr e Allah. Verily We are the Amr e Allah (Command of Allah).

O'Salman (as)! O'Jondab (ra)! Verily Allah has made Me as His Trustee upon the creation and His Vicegerent upon His earth, in His territories, and over His servants. Allah has blessed Me with such attributes that even those people who have true understanding regarding the merits of such blessings and those who have knowledge regarding all matters will still not be able to truly comprehend the status which Allah has blessed Me with. A true momin is one who recognizes Me in this manner.

O'Salman (as)! Allah said, "Do not seek the help of Allah except through patience and prayer". Patience is Muhammad (saw) and Prayer is My Wilayat. This is why Allah has declared it to be difficult to understand such attributes. In truth My Wilayat is exceedingly difficult except for those whose souls are submissive. Thus My Wilayat has been made easier by Allah upon those whose souls have submitted.

O'Salman (as)! We are those Secrets of Allah which shall not be hidden. We are His Noor that can never be extinguished. And We are those blessings which can never be matched. Our first is Muhammad, Our middle is Muhammad, and Our last is Muhammad. One who recognizes Us in this way is a follower of the true religion.

O'Salman (as)! O'Jondab (ra)! Muhammad (saw) and Myself are one Noor. And before all other creations had been created We were already reciting the praises of Allah. We were the cause of the creation of the entire universe. Then Allah divided this Noor into two parts; first was His prophet Mustafa (saw) and His Successor Murtaza (saw). Then Allah said to each half "Be Muhammad (saw)!" "Be Ali (asws)!" This is the reason RasoolAllah (saw) said, "I am from Ali (asws) and Ali (asws) is from Me. None other than Myself and Ali (asws) are able to convey the Divine Message of Allah."

In Quran where Allah says " _Ann fosanawa ann faskum (3:61)"_ is a reference to Our being One Essence in Alam e Arwah and Anwar (worlds of spirits and noor). And where Allah says " _If He has died or is slain(3:144)_ " "died" is a reference to the death of Prophet (saw) and "slain" is in reference to the martyrdom of His Successor. As We are One Essence and One Noor. We are One in purpose and attributes. However We are different in Our bodies and names, but in Alam e Arwah We are One Noor. As RasoolAllah (saw) said, "O'Ali (saw), You are My Soul which is inside of Me. In this world of creation RasoolAllah (saw) said, "You are from Me and I am from You. You are My inheritor and I am Your inheritor. You are the Soul of My body." Allah says, "Sallu illay wa salamu tasleema". "Sallu illay" (sending blessings on Him) is reference to Muhammad (saw) and "salamu tasleema" (acknowledge Him) is reference to Me (Ali saw). Allah joined Me with Muhammad (saw) in One Noor and then split that Noor into two beings based upon Their Names and Attributes. Then Allah ordered His creation to send blessings upon Muhammad (saw) and salam upon His successor Ali (saw). RasoolAllah (saw) said, "One shall not gain any benefit or reward from sending blessings unto Me until he submits to the Wilayat e Ali (saw)."

O'Salman (as)! O'Jondab (ra)! During His time Muhammad (saw) was "natiq" (speaking) and I was "samit" (silent). During every era both "natiq" and "samit" are present. Remember, Muhammad (saw) is the Master of those who shall gather on the Day of Judgement and I am the Master of Resurrection. Muhammad (saw) is the warner and I am the one who guides. Muhammad (saw) is the Lord of Jannah and I am the Lord of Rajat (Return). Muhammad (saw) is the Lord of Hawz e Kausar (divine spring) and I am Sahib e Lawa (standard bearer of the flag which will be raised on the Day of Judgment). Muhammad (saw) is the Lord of the Keys to the Gates of Jannah and I am the Lord of Jannah and Jahannum (paradise and hell). Muhammad (saw) is the Lord of Revelation and I am the Lord of Inspiration. Muhammad (saw) is the Lord of Signs and I am the Lord of Miracles. Muhammad (saw) is the Seal of all Prophets and I am the Seal of all Successors. Muhammad (saw) is the Master who invites the creation towards the religion of Allah and I am the Protector of the Religion. Muhammad (saw) is the most generous prophet and I am Sirat ul Mustaqeem (true path). Muhammad is "raoof o raheem" (most kind and merciful) and I am Aliulazeem (most high most great).

O'Salman (as)! Allah says "He _causes the Spirit to descend upon those whom He chooses" (40:15)._ This Spirit then descends unto the one entrusted with the Command and the Decree. I (Ali saw) give life to the dead and possess full knowledge of all things in the heavens and upon the earth. I am Kitab ul Mubeen (Undeniable Book).

O'Salman (as)! Muhammad (saw) is the one who establishes the Hujjat (proof) and I am Hujjatullah (proof of Allah) upon the creation. And the Spirit ascended with Him unto the heavens. I am the one who enabled Nuh (as) to sail His Ark. I was present with Yunis (asws) in the belly of the whale. I parted the sea for Musa (as) to allow Him a safe passage through it. I am the one who destroyed the enemies of Allah. I possess all of the knowledge of the prophets and their successors and I am Fazl al Khatab (a blessed speech). The prophet hood of RasoolAllah (saw) was completed through My Wilayat. I cause the rivers and oceans to flow and cause the mountains to rise up from the surface of the earth. I am likened unto the Father of the Earth. I am the wrath of the Day of Judgment. I am that Khizr (as) who taught Musa (as). I taught Dawood (as) and Solomon (as). I am Zul Qarnan. I am the one who removes sufferings by the command of Allah. I am the one who spread the earth. I am the one who shall send wrath on the Day of Judgment. I am the one who shall summon all unto Allah on the Day of Judgment. I am Dabba tul Arz (sign of Allah regarding the coming of the Day of Judgment). RasoolAllah (saw) said, "O'Ali (saw) You are Zul Qarnan and its both ends. You were in existence before the beginning of the creation and will remain until its end."

O'Salman (as)! If one dies from amongst Us, He is not dead and if someone is slain from amongst Us, He is not slain. One from amongst Us who is in occultation performs His duties as We do. We are not born in this world the way humans are born in this world. You cannot compare Us with mankind. I was the voice of Isa (as) when He spoke from the cradle. I am the helper of Nuh (as) and Ibrahim (as). I am the one who will send the wrath of Allah. I shall also bring about the trembling and shall cause the final quake. I am the Lohay Mahfooz (Protected Tablet) and all of the knowledge within it originates from Me. I can appear in any form by the wish of Allah. Whoever has observed these appearances has seen Me and whoever has seen Me as observed the Signs of Allah. We Masoomeen (asws) are the Noor of Allah which can never be rejected or changed.

O'Salman (as)! Every prophet is honored because of Us. You can praise Us with whatever titles or attributes within your imagination however do not ascribe rabuyiat (godship) to Us. People find salvation through Us and reach their destruction due to Us.

O'Salman (as)! He who firmly believes in all that I have explained is that momin whose heart has been tested by Allah with iman (true faith) and he has recognized Our true status. One who doubts or hesitates is a nasibi (enemy of Allah) even if he claims to believe in Our wilayat he is a liar.

O'Salman (as)! Myself and the Divine Guides from My Family, Imams (asws), are the hidden mystery of Allah and Most Beloved by Him. We are all One. Our Amr (authority) is One. Our mystery is One. Thus do not try to find differences amongst Us or you will be killed (go astray). We shall appear in every age by the will of Allah. Afflictions shall be upon the one who denies us. Only those whose hearts, eyes, and ears have been sealed will deny Us.

O'Salman (as)! I am the Father of every believer.

O'Salman (as)! I am the most courageous. I shall be coming soon. I will overwhelm all and make their hearts shudder and make them become deaf. I am the "Supreme Test" which shall be revealed unto all. We are the Signs of Allah, His Proofs, and His Veil. We are the Face of Allah. After My Name was written on the Throne of the Sky, it attained its importance. When it was written on the heavens, they became established. When it was written on the earth, it became stable. When My Name was written on the mountains, they became upraised. When it was written on the wind, it began to blow. When it was written on the lightning, it began to flash. When it was written on the raindrops, they began to provide nourishment. When it was written on the Noor, it became radiant. When it was written on the clouds, the rain began to flow from them. When it was written on the thunder, it became quietened. When it was written on the night, it caused the night to become dark. When it was written on the day, it made it luminous and radiant. "

# About Wilayat Mission

As followers of Masoomeen (asws), we have been ordered by Allah to spread His commands to those "who were not present". If one hears of the command of Allah and does not convey it to others, then no excuse will be accepted from him and he will be thrown into hell. It is wajib upon all to convey the message of wilayat e Ali (asws) as this is the command of Allah. However there are so few books of hadiths and sayings of Masoomeen (asws) that have been translated that it makes it very difficult for momineen to share the words of Masoomeen (asws) with others. We hope that our mission will not only make it easy for momineen to fulfill their duties and obey the command of Allah to spread wilayat e Ali (asws), but that we will have also fulfilled our obligation in spreading this command of Allah and gained the pleasure of Masoomeen (asws) instead of Their anger. We pray that not only will our iman and marifat be increased but that of every person as well. We pray to our Imam (atfs) to help us and guide us so that we do not go astray and do not lose sight of our true mission which is;

### spreading the true religion of Allah, Wilayat e Ali (asws)
