Wilayat of Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT),

From creation to eternity

Part 1

In many writings in this site -such as “Ghadir, from creation to eternity”, “Jewish, Christian and Islamic calendars and Ghadir and Aushura (‘Aashoora)”, “Pigeons of his sacred Shrine” and …- we, beyond the  shadow of a doubt,  have shown that Allah (SWT) has Chosen Himself not only His Anbiya (Prophets) but also their Awsiya (Successive Successors). It is also important to remind that Qur’an clearly states that people have absolutely no say in regard to those Allah has Chosen:

Qur’an 28:68 And your Lord Creates and Chooses whom He Wishes; to choose, has not been for them! Glory is to Him! And Sublime is He above those they associate as partners (with Him).

We have also presented that, where commanded by Allah, Anbiya (SBUT) publicly introduced their Allah Chosen Awsiya (SBUT) to their Ommah (Ummah, Nation) and required their obedience after their departure. It is also noteworthy to mention that there have existed special circumstances; for instance in the case of Sheyth -Seth, as transliterated to English-, whose older brother Qaabeel -Cain- had already killed their other brother Haabeel -Abel-, he had to observe Taqiyah. When Hadrat Adam (SBUH) was leaving this world, by command of Allah, he appointed his son Sheyth (SBUT) as his Wasi and left his Allah Bestowed Knowledge with him. After their father, Qaabeel threatened Sheyth that if he would divulge his Position and Knowledge, he would kill him too … .

In addition in other writings in this site -such as “Mohammad, the Promise of Torah”, “Mohammad, the Promise of Enjil (Gospel)”, “AhlulBayt (Salaam Be Upon Them, SBUT), the Promise of Enjil (Gospel)” and …- we have proven that Anbiya (SBUT) gave glad tidings in regard to Hadrat Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT).

In this writing we are going to, EnshaaAllah, mention another everlasting fact, and that is:

Anbiya (SBUT) not only demanded allegiance for their own Awsiya and made their Wilayat incumbent upon their Nations, but also made obligatory on their Nations the acceptance of the superiority and Wilayat of Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT) over all creations, and demanded their allegiance.

In this regard, we are going to briefly present parts of the contents of a few Narrations from Imam Hasan Askari (SBUH):

1) The Covenant taken from bani (children of) Israel

Qur’an 2:63 And when We took your Covenant, and lifted the mount Toor over you: Take hold of that which We have given you with firmness, and bear in mind what is in it, so that you may guard (against evil).

Imam Askari (SBUH) in regard to this verse has said that it means that Allah has reminded the bani-Israel the Covenant which was taken from them: To act according to the Torah, and to believe in that which was sent to them from Forqan in regard to professing the Prophethood of Mohammad (SBUH&HA) and the Wilayat of Ali and his chosen children (SBUT). The bani Israel were commanded to pass on to their children and they to theirs until the end of time that: Mohammad and his Aal -Progeny- (SBUT) are the most honored creations of Allah, and to submit to them.

The Imam (SBUH) has continued that the bani-Israel arrogantly refused and did not accept the Covenant. So Allah commanded Jabriel (Gabriel) to lift a piece of the mountain which was one parasang on all four sides over their heads, and Hadrat Moosa (SBUH) told them that if they did not accept that which they were commanded, the piece of the mountain would fall on their heads. Only a few truly accepted, the rest accepted with dissension and abomination … Constantly they were worried that the mountain would fall on their heads … .

(From Tafsir of Imam Hasan Askari; Tafsir Jaame’, vol.1, pp. 178-180; Tafsir Borhaan, p. 232; Behaar al Anwaar, vol. 26, p. 288; …)

It is impossible for a sincere heart to observe all these emphases in regard to conveying the message of the Wilayat and Imamat, and not move deeply and not ponder about these most exalted and unique creations of the Mighty and Majestic Allah: Notice, as mentioned above, the bani Israel were commanded to pass on the message to their children and they to theirs until the end of time, and then again at Ghadir, Allah’s most beloved,  the Prophet Mohammad (may our entire existence be sacrificed in his and his AhlulBayt’s cause), reiterated:

“ … O people! I leave (the Authority) after me through Imamat (Divinely Ordained Leadership), inherited in my (Chosen) offspring until the Day of Qiyaamat. And most certainly, I have conveyed what I have been commanded to convey, as a Hojjat (Divine Proof)upon everyone present or absent, and upon all, be a direct witness or not, and born or not yet born. Hence, everyone who is present should convey (this Sermon) to those who are absent, every parent should convey it to his/her children, (and they should continue to do so) until the Day of Qiyaamat … .”

May Allah hasten the ever-Promised -from creation to eternity- Emergence of the last remaining Beloved of Allah on earth … . AAMEEN
