الحجة

A young Muhammad being recognized by the monk Bahira. From the book Jami’ al-Tawarikh.
An angel pours on the head of the Prophet, perfume and rose water.
Peace and blessings upon Him and Ahl_al_bait

The virtues of Surah Al-Qadr.
The Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his family) said:
Whoever recites Surah Al-Qadr is like one who fasted during the month of Ramadan and kept the night of Qadr awake and kept it alive.
Hazrat Aba Abdullah, Imam Sadegh (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
When someone recites Surah Al-Qadr in his prayer, Allah Almighty says to him: O Abdullah (servant of Allah)! Your previous sins have been forgiven, start over and build a new life.
Imam Mohammad Baqir (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
Whoever recites Surah Al-Qadr in a long, clear, comprehensive, precise, planned and long manner is like one who has shown his sword to everyone in the way of Allah ; That is to say, fighting for Allah has become clear to everyone.
And they also said: Whoever recites Surah Al-Qadr ten times, Allah will erase a thousand of his sins.

The adhan for the noon prayers was recited, and the congregational (jama'ah) prayers were led by the Prophet. After that, the Prophet ascended the pulpit and signaled to' Ali ibn Abu Talib to stand on his right. ' Ali did so, standing one pulpit step below the Prophet. Before saying anything, the Prophet looked right and left to make sure that people were prepared to listen to every word of his.

The sun was so hot that people had to pull some of their outer mantles over their heads and under their feet in order to be able to somehow tolerate the heat.

Finally the Prophet delivered his historic sermon which he intended, as the reader will see, to be not only for the assembled crowd but for all those who were not present at that gathering and for all their offspring, one generation after another, till the Day of Judgment.

Here is the text of the Prophet's sermon. We hope it will bring the reader guidance in the life of this world and happiness and success in the life to come through the intercession of Muhammad, the one loved most by Allah, peace and blessings of the Almighty be with him, his progeny, and true companions who obeyed him during his lifetime and after his demise and who did not forget or pretend to forget his following khutba:

PROPHET'S HISTORIC GHADIR SERMON

PART IV

O people! Prefer him (' Ali) over all others! There is no knowledge except that Allah has divulged it to me, and all the knowledge I have learned I have divulged to Imam al-Muttaqin (leader of the righteous), and there is no knowledge (that I know) except that I divulged it to' Ali, and he is al-Imam al-Mubin (the evident Imam) whom Allah mentions in Surat ya-Sin: "... and everything We have computed is in (the knowledge of) an evident Imam" (Qur'an, 36:12).

O people! Do not abandon him, nor should you flee away from him, nor should you be too arrogant to accept his authority, for he is the one who guides to righteousness and who acts according to it. He defeats falsehood and prohibits others from acting according to it, accepting no blame from anyone while seeking to please Allah. He is the first to believe in Allah and in His Messenger; none preceded him as such. And he is the one who offered his life as a sacrifice for the Messenger of Allah and who was in the company of the Messenger of Allah while no other man was. He is the first of all people to offer prayers and the first to worship Allah with me. I ordered him, on behalf of Allah, to sleep in my bed, and he did, offering his life as a sacrifice for my sake.

O people! Prefer him (over all others), for Allah has preferred him, and accept him, for Allah has appointed him (as your leader).

O people! He is an Imam appointed by Allah, and Allah shall never accept the repentance of anyone who denies his authority, nor shall He forgive him; this is a must decree from Allah never to do so to anyone who opposes him, and that He shall torment him with a most painful torment for all time to come, for eternity; so, beware lest you should oppose him and thus enter the fire the fuel of which is the people and the stones prepared for the unbelievers.

O people! By Allah! All past prophets and messengers conveyed the glad tiding of my advent, and I, by Allah, am the seal of the prophets and of the messengers and the argument against all beings in the heavens and on earth. Anyone who doubts this commits apostasy similar to that of the early jahiliyya, and anyone who doubts anything of what I have just said doubts everything which has been revealed to me, and anyone who doubts any of the Imams doubts all of them, and anyone who doubts us shall be lodged in the fire.

O people! Allah, the most Exalted and the Almighty, has bestowed this virtue upon me out of His kindness towards' Ali and as a boon to' Ali and there is no god but He; to Him all praise belongs in all times, for eternity, and in all circumstances.

O people! Prefer' Ali (over all others), for he is the very best of all people after me, be they males or females, so long as Allah sends down His sustenance, so long as there are beings. Cursed and again cursed, condemned and again condemned, is anyone who does not accept this statement of mine and who does not agree to it. Gabriel himself has informed me of the same on behalf of Allah Almighty Who he said (in Gabriel's words): " Anyone who antagonizes' Ali and refuses to accept his wilayat shall incur My curse upon him and My wrath." "... and let every soul consider what it has sent forth for the morrow, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah" (Qur'an, 59:18), "And do not make your oaths a means of deceit between you lest a foot should slip after its stability" (Qur'an, 16:94), " Allah is fully aware of all what you do" (Qur'an, 58: 13).

O people! He (' Ali) is janb-Allah mentioned in the Book of Allah, the Sublime One: The Almighty, forewarning his (' Ali's) adversaries, says, "Lest a soul should say: O woe unto me for what I fell short of my duty to Allah, and most surely I was of those who laughed to scorn" (Qur'an, 39:56).

🌺 Prophet of God Jesus (peace be with him and his mother) said:

🌺 How can you work for this world when you are provided for therein without work, but not work for the Hereafter when you will not be provided for therein without work?

🌺 Verily, you are bad scholars, who take a salary for their duties and squander their deeds. The doer of a deed hurries to demand its reward, and you hurry to leave this wide world for the dark confines of the grave.

🌺 God forbade you from misdeeds as he ordered you to pray and fast. How can one displeased with his portion and who debases his rank (as a scholar) be counted amongst the people of knowledge?

🌺 When he knows of God's knowledge and power, how can one who accuses God by what He decrees for him and whom nothing can satisfy be counted amongst the people of knowledge? How can one over whom the world holds more sway than the Hereafter, who embraces the world and loves the thing that harms him more than the thing that benefits him be counted amongst the people of knowledge? How can one who seeks knowledge so that he can display it rather than act upon it be counted amongst the people of knowledge?

📜Letter of Imam Hasan Askari (peace be with him) to Ali Ibn Al-Hosein bin Babawai Al-Qommi (Father of Sheikh Sadooq) and all Shīah (follower of Ahlulbayt)

💠 In the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful. All praise is for Allah and salvation is for the pious (mutaqeen). Heaven is for monotheists (mowahhideen) and hellfire is for atheists (rejectors of God and His values). There is no punishment except for the oppressors. There is no God but Allah and He is the best of creators and blessings (salawat) be on his best of creations, Prophet Mohammad (peace be with him and his progeny) and his holy progeny.

🌻Oh! my Sheikh. Oh the person I rely on. Oh my jurist, Abul Hassan Ali Ibn Hussain Ibn Babawaih Al-Qommi, may Allah give you success in performing what He likes and May He, with his mercy, give you virtuous offspring.

Be advised:

✔️always have consciousness of Allah (Taqwa),
✔️establish salaat
✔️and be steadfast in sharing your blessings [i.e. give alma even in small amounts] because one who stops himself and others from giving alms, his salaat (Namaz) will not be accepted.

Be advised:
✔️always forgive those who have wronged you,
✔️control your anger
✔️and maintain your relations with your family members,
✔️help and fulfill the needs of your brothers and sisters in faith - regardless of good or bad time.
✔️Develop tolerance and gain knowledge of your religion (faith).
✔️Be firm in your actions and keep your promises with Quran
✔️Develop good manners,
✔️advise others to do good and stop them from doing wrong.

🔹Verily, Allah says (in Sura Nisa: 114), “Most of their secret conferring is devoid of good, unless one secretly enjoins in charity, good deeds, and setting the affairs of men right.”.

✔️Make effort to refrain from doing any deed that is forbidden by Allah.
✔️Always say your night time prayers (Salaat Al-Layl) as the Prophet of Allah (Peace be with him and his progeny) prescribed it to Imam Ali (peace be with him) and said, “Oh! Ali pray Salaat Al-Layl. Pray Salaat Al-Layl. Pray Salaat Al-Layl”.

🌻Imam continued, ”And who thinks lightly of the night time prayers is not amongst our followers.”

🌻Oh! Ali ibn Babawaih, (pay) heed (to) my instructions and let them be known to my Shias so they practice them.

🌻Always be patient and always wait (actively) for the occultation (of Imam Mahdi to end). Surely, Prophet of God says, “The best of deeds for my nation is to wait for the awaited one (Imam Mahdi)”.

🌻My Shias will always have a void in their heart until my son (Imam Mahdi) reappears. As the Prophet of Islam explained that he will fill the world with justice and righteousness as it will be filled with injustice and inequity.

🌻Oh! my Shiekh. Oh! Abu al-Hassan Ali always be patient and also tell my Shias to have patience. Surely Allah owns the world and he bestows it on his servants. Surely salvation is for Mutaqeen. Peace and blessings be on upon you, and upon all our Shia. Peace be with Muhammad and his pure progeny.

PROPHET'S HISTORIC GHADIR SERMON

PART IV

O people! Prefer him (' Ali) over all others! There is no knowledge except that Allah has divulged it to me, and all the knowledge I have learned I have divulged to Imam al-Muttaqin (leader of the righteous), and there is no knowledge (that I know) except that I divulged it to' Ali, and he is al-Imam al-Mubin (the evident Imam) whom Allah mentions in Surat ya-Sin: "... and everything We have computed is in (the knowledge of) an evident Imam" (Qur'an, 36:12).

O people! Do not abandon him, nor should you flee away from him, nor should you be too arrogant to accept his authority, for he is the one who guides to righteousness and who acts according to it.

O people! By Allah! All past prophets and messengers conveyed the glad tiding of my advent, and I, by Allah, am the seal of the prophets and of the messengers and the argument against all beings in the heavens and on earth. Anyone who doubts this commits apostasy similar to that of the early jahiliyya, and anyone who doubts anything of what I have just said doubts everything which has been revealed to me, and anyone who doubts any of the Imams doubts all of them, and anyone who doubts us shall be lodged in the fire.

💠A Legacy of Unasked Kindness and Mercy to All

📍From al-Ṣadūq in al-ʿIlal: From al-Husayn ibn Mūsā, from his father, from his forefathers, from Amīr al-Muʾminīn, Ali, who said:

🔷‘The Noble Prophet’s contributions to society were not appreciated, yet the good he did (was) extended to the Quraysh, the Arabs and the non-Arabs – and whose actions can be better than those of the Prophet of Allāh towards this creation?

🔷The same applies to us, the Ahl al-Bayt; the good we do [for the Muslims] is not appreciated and similarly, the good done by the true believers is also unappreciated.’”

Prophet Mohammad’s Sermon of Sha’bāniyeh (peace be with him and his Progeny) خطبه شعبانيه
Part One

It has been reported from Imām Aba-l Hassan Ali ibn Mūsa-r Redha who narrated from his fathers from the leader of the believers Ali ibn-e Abi Talib (peace be with them) who said:

“One day the messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and his progeny) addressed us and said:
‘O’ people! Indeed ahead of you is the blessed month of Almighty God;

A month of blessing, mercy and forgiveness. A month which with Allah is the best of months;

Its days, the best of days, its nights, the best of nights, and its hours, the best of hours. It is the month during which you are invited to be the guests of God and you are placed to be from people of Allah’s dignity

Each breath you take glorifies him; your sleep is worship, your deeds
are accepted and your supplications are answered.

So, invoke Allah, your Lord, with honest intentions and pure hearts to grant you success in fasting and reciting his Book in this month.

Therefor miserable is certainly the one who is deprived of Allah's forgiveness in this great month.
Remember the hunger and thirst of the day of Judgment with your hunger and thirst (while fasting); give alms to the needy and poor, Pay respect to your elders, have sympathy for your youngsters and maintain relations with your blood relatives.
Guard your tongues, close your eyes to the impermissible for your sight, close your ears to that which is forbidden to hear, show compassion and kindness to the orphans of people so compassion may be shown to your orphans.

Repent to Allah for your sins
and supplicate with raised hands at the times of prayer as these are the best times, during which Allah Almighty looks at His servants with mercy. And raise your hands to supplicate at the times of prayers for they are the best of times during which Allah the Almighty and Glorious looks towards His servants with mercy, answering them if they supplicate, responding them if they call Him, granting them if He is asked, and accepting if they entreat.

O People!
Indeed your souls are dependent on your deeds, so make it free by invoking Almighty God for forgiveness (Esteghfār). Your backs are heavily loaded from your sins, so lighten their loads by long prostrations. And know that Allah swears by His might that:
There is no punishment for the one who prays and prostrates and He shall not appall them from Hellfire on the day when man stands
before the Lord of the Worlds (the Doomsday).

O People! One who gives food after the sunset (Iftaar) to a fasting believer during this month will be like one who has freed a slave and his past sins will be forgiven.’

Some of the people who were there then asked the Prophet (God bless him and his progeny):

'Not all of us are able to invite those who are fasting?'

The Prophet replied: 'Keep yourself away from Hell-fire though it may consist of (even) half of a dried date or some water (if you have nothing else)'.

O’ People! One who has good morals (Akhlaq) during this month will be able to pass the bridge to Paradise (Siraat) on the day when feet will tend to slip. For anyone who during this month eases the workload of his servants, God will make easy his accounting, and for anyone who doesn't hurt others during this month, God will safeguard him from His Wrath on the Day of Judgment.

As for one who honors (take care) of an orphan during this month; God will honor him on that Day.

And for the one who treats his blood relatives (and connects ties with them) during this month, God will bestow His Mercy on him on that Day.

As for the one who cuts the ties of relation with his blood relatives; God will cut and keep away His mercy from him.

Whosoever performs recommended prayers in this month God will save him from Hell-fire. And whoever offers an obligatory prayer during this month, his reward will be seventy times the reward during other months.

💠Imam Muhammad Baqir (peace be with him) has stated:

📍"O community of Shi'a-- Shi'a of the household of Muhammad-- be like the middle saddle cushion, on which the extremist who has slid forward falls back, and with which the follower who is yet to come catches up.

🔹Upon hearing this, a man called Sa'd from among the ansar asked him: 'may I be at you ransom, who is an extremist?'

📍Imam replied: 'They are a group of people who say such things about us that we do not say about ourselves. Neither are these people from among us, nor do we associate with them'.

🔹The man asked: 'who is a follower yet to come?'

📍Imam replied: 'the one who is searching for good and wants it, and who will eventually attain it and be rewarded for it'.

💠A Legacy of Unasked Kindness and Mercy to All

📍From al-Ṣadūq in al-ʿIlal: From al-Husayn ibn Mūsā, from his father, from his forefathers, from Amīr al-Muʾminīn, Ali, who said:

🔷‘The Noble Prophet’s contributions to society were not appreciated, yet the good he did (was) extended to the Quraysh, the Arabs and the non-Arabs – and whose actions can be better than those of the Prophet of Allāh towards this creation?

🔷The same applies to us, the Ahl al-Bayt; the good we do [for the Muslims] is not appreciated and similarly, the good done by the true believers is also unappreciated.’”
