Celestial occasions,
such as the wonderful day when this old earth was blessed and
brightened by the physical presence of the Amir and Commander of all
Believers from the beginning of time to the very end, Hadrat Ali
(PBUH), are beautiful times when Heavenly showers of spiritual
blessings and bounties are being bestowed upon creations; may all who
love Mohammad and his AhlulBayt (PBUT) be the recipients of such
blessings.
To all who truly and
honestly, love and obey Mohammad and his beloved Progeny (PBUT), we,
as a token of our humility, wish to present a fresh and colorful
bouquet of celestial words from the most sincere source of purity,
the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP), wrapped in his Heavenly fragrance
of Infallibility, which was bestowed upon the fountain of love and
loyalty, Hadrat Ali (PBUH):
My
Ommah (Nation) shall divide into seventy three groups, one of
which is the group attaining Salvation, and all the rest, Perdition;
and those achieving Salvation, are they who cling to your (the
Imams') "walaayat (Wilayat)", and acquire
Knowledge from you, and do not perform
based upon their own opinions; so there can be nothing against
them.
And
when the Prophet was asked regarding the Imams, he (PBUH&HP)
said:
Their
number shall be as the Chieftains of Bani (children of) Israel
[i.e. twelve, based on Qur'an 5:12 and …].
(Kefaayat-Ol-Athar,
p. 655; …)
O' our beloved Mahdi
(May Allah hasten your Emergence)! O' the last Infallible Imam from
the Progeny of Muhammad and Ali (Allah's Salaam and Salawaat be upon
them and their Progeny)! Clinging to your "walaayat"
moment by moment and never letting go, and seeking Knowledge from you
-the flowing Knowledge- second by second, and never seeking it
elsewhere, and doing every thing in each and every aspect of our
lives according to your wish which is Allah's Will, and never relying
on our own desires and wishes, is our heaven in this world and our
hope of Eternal Salvation, i.e. Allah's Pleasedness Forever and Ever
… .
