His Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam are the best virtues

One shudders at the horrors of human deprivation. The world is poised at a precipice, facing dangers of dystopian proportions. As a student of literature, I hardly knew that H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” was soon going to be the reality of my country. A bunch of self-appointed Takfiris would launch targeted killings, bomb blasts, persecution of minorities and a new low along the downward spiral of depravity was achieved with the shooting down of innocent children at school. Today they burn human beings to a frazzle and mutilate human bodies on the spur of a whim. The regularity with which such grisly episodes occur has sapped humanity of the milk of genuine human kindness. The alarming frequency with which we are exposed to terror, works in the direction of sensitizing one to the absurd length of apathy. Hence they would go about burning a Christian couple, or manhandling the blind before a thronging crowd of onlookers. Feeble responses which hardly border on protest are furnished in return. We inhale tragedies, we consume the blood and bodies of our fellow men as fodder to chatter in public meetings and remind our conscience that we have been exonerated of our burden of responsibility. At times, it appears almost probable that the world is approaching the ‘end of time’ phenomenon at a horribly brisk pace. It seems that the sentient beings suffer a deep seated sense of melancholy. The world does not promise much when you see the likes of Boko Haram, IS insurgency and growing Talibanization posing a threat to the very existence of human values; and all of these under the pretension of Islam. I wonder for how long would our write ups be a complete riposte to the heinous propaganda done in the very name of Islam. For how many times, we would plead the world to separate Islam from its distorted and bigoted enactments. Would we live long enough to witness Islam as the torchbearer of finest human values which it is in reality? Quran is the complete code of life. It aptly says in Sura Anfaal, in the eighth Verse,” O you who believe! Answer (the call of) Allah and the Messenger when He calls you to that which gives you life”. Allah and His unequalled Beloved Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam call one to ‘life’ and all that which reinforces the constructive values of life. Then how come a group of people revels in killing spree, with indiscriminate bloodshed as its manifesto. The Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam has been deemed by the incontestable Quran as “Mercy for all the worlds” in Chapter 21 and verse 107 of the Quraan. More so, Sura e Ahzab lays in the 21st Verse”, “There is for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example for anyone whose hope is in Allah and [who] remembers Allah often.” Those who kill children are barbarians. Those kill anyone for that matter, are no less. Neither they exhibit mercy nor are they examples befitting a civilized life. Two years back a blasphemous movie was launched as an ugly revile against the infallible Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallsam. It was a condemnable act, not only because it was downright sacrilegious, but most importantly because it was a conniving fabrication and a complete breach of truth. The world must have the scruples to objectively read through the annals of history. In doing so, humanity will be left with no option but to venerate the paragon of best human values that the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam is synonymous with. On the other hand there is a striking analogy which exists between the images of characters in such movies or literature, and the real life terrorists who play havoc with the world in the name of Islam. ‘Daesh’, for example is a case in point. The self-proclaimed IS beheaded 150 women on refusing to act as concubines or to enter prostitution legitimized by their instant proclamation of ‘Allah u Akbar’. They kill, and blurt out Allah u Akbar; molest women from the minority communities such as the Christians of the Yazdi ethnic minority in Iraq and iterate the same. It is a forceful yoking together of two inherently opposed phenomena. Our allegiance to the God Almighty results in the preservation of human values and not corruption. When the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam was asked the objective of His duty as a Prophet, He Stated that it was to impart Makaramul Akhlaque, that is, the ‘honourable virtues’ whereby to conduct one’s life. Also ta’leem’ and ta’lum (teaching and being taught) have been stipulated as the main goals of Islam in the Hadeeth literature.

The echelon of the Holy Prophet Salallah O Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam as the Final Prophet is indicative of the fact that the entire legacy of prophethood preceding the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam culminated in Islam. Islam is the epitome of the best human values. The barbarity which engulfed society before the advent of Islam was turned into a society based on compassion and brotherhood known as muakhwat by the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. The crimes committed in the name of Islam today are reminiscent of those committed before Islam. So how can callous, brutal and heartless men call themselves custodian of Islam when their acts are analogous to anything but Islam. The world must wake up to the horrors of ravages meted out by the so called Maulvis and their ideological off shoots. Blasphemy is scorn poured onto sacred objects. Is there anything more sacred than human life itself? What is greater blasphemy than dishonouring women or disgracing humanity? Is there a greater blasphemy than challenging the divine writ, and taking the control of life and death in ones hand? Yes, you would see these oppressors as womanizers, child molesters, killers, abductors and name the worst, and you see them as the practitioners of all social ills with inhuman alacrity. Sacrilegious attempts against Islam call for a thorough investigation. We must look within before leveling accusations outside. Islam is in the spot light today not because of Edhi, or any humanitarian value, but because of IS, Al Qaeda, Al Shabab, Al Nusra, Boko Haram and Talibans. They do not represent the true Islam, but as religion has always been an easy prey, or a cog in the mercenary apparatus, so it is in this case. Their flint like egos do not let them condemn the atrocities against humanity, not even the attack at innocent children even by word of mouth. The apologists must face this rude awakening that this is the obscene length to which their good/bad Taliban have fallen to. They are the cause of all blasphemous literature being churned out against Islam. The result is a striking resemblance between the characters in blasphemous movies or literature and these live perpetrators of crimes against humanity. After all such characters are fashioned along the personalities of militants, and do not reflect a practising Muslim. So if the west produces invective against Islam, it is due to the crimes of such megalomaniac elements who abuse the name of religion to enter the top notch in the power matrix. You will not hear them chant slogans against injustice, illiteracy, corruption, inhumanity. Conversely they kill teachers, academics, doctors and social activists in cold blood. I wonder why the IS or the like have never fought an oppressor. Never have they spoken a word against Israel, and their targets remain the innocent people. Hazrat Ali Alaihis Salam states that there are three categories of worshippers. A category worships God, in anticipation of Jannah. This is the worship of the ‘traders’. Another category of worshippers, worships God out of fear for hell. This is the worship of the slaves. The third category of worshippers bows before God Almighty, considering Him the only divine entity who commands total submission. This is the worship of the free men. Scholars have pointed out that it is this third group whose selfless submission to Allah will earn them rewards promised to the pious, although they did not conduct their good deeds out of avarice for Jannah. Now imagine a group of people who have been brainwashed and drained of their human virtues, conditioned into killing people, in the hope of earning Hoor in paradise. One might be shocked to see that the makers of these terrorists, galvanize the young, impressionable lads to action by infusing in them unbridled lust for a promised woman in the hereafter. Their incentive to suicide bombing is sensual pleasure. One must fear the makers of these hate mongers more than anyone for they are a ‘constant’, who live and those who die are the numberless suicide bombers killed at the altar of their Machiavellian rapacity. Thus what Nizam e Mustafa can they bring out, when are not even remotely practising it? The Sura Al Ma’idah, the 5th chapter of the Holy Quraan states in verse no15: “ O people of the Scripture…There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book”. This verse highlights the status of the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam as Light. He is An-Noor, who spreads His guidance to the entire world. Light is also a metaphor for knowledge which exists in contradistinction to ignorance. It has been deeply stressed that allegiance to the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam is in reality allegiance to Allah as the chapter 48 ( Al Fath), and the tenth Verse, vouchsafes this message. “Indeed those who pledge allegiance to you, [O Muhammad] they actually pledge allegiance to Allah.” More so, it has been deemed that, if one wants to gain the love of Allah, one must follow the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam, as stated in Sura Aali Imran, verse no 31: “Say, [O Muhammad] If you should love Allah, then follow me [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. In the light of these Quranic verses, one can see how important it is to follow the example of the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. His comportment is the best exemplar to follow, for when one sees Him before the ascendency of Islam in Makkah, or in Sheb e Abi Talib where He suffered social boycott and later as the Head of the State in Medina or as a Victor after the conquest of Makkah, one does not witness any transition in His blessed mannerism. His virtues remained humility, integrity, truthfulness, kindness, forgiveness and forbearance which he displayed in reiterating the Quranic Verse that Prophet Yusuf uttered while forgiving his brothers, that “This day let no reproach be cast on you: Allah will forgive you and He is the Most Merciful of those who mercy” (Yusuf, 12/92). On the occasion of 12th Rabiul Awwal, I pray that the world awakens to the loftiness of the human values instructed by the Rehmat al lil Alameen; Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam (Mercy for all the Worlds) and seeks the light of inspiration to see truth apart from fallacy. May this 12th Rabiul Awwal mark the birth of glorious human virtues which are attributed to the world’s best role Model, that is, the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam so that the world is a better place to live. This can be best achieved by practising the golden rule of Ruhamaau bainahum , stated in Sura Al-Fath, 48:29, that is, those who are with the Messenger of Allah are ‘merciful among themselves’ and propagate it as the theme of this year, of the years to come and for our entire lifetime!

Getting Close to Allah In Becoming Similar to Imam Mahdi(A.S)

(through the grace of Fetr Eid prayer) 

Lord You ordered us to fast by the fast of Imam Mahdi(A.S.), to worship by his worship, and to be awake and put the Holy Quran over our head at Qhadr night by his awakening and revealing Quran to his heart, so that we get similar to him at this holy feast(Ramadan). And at the Fetr Eid prayer in so many times at Qonuot(taking up our hands ask for something from Allah), you granted us the opportunity to ask you to becoming similar to Imam Mahdi(A.S.): - As they (Prophet Mohammad and his ahlol-bait PBUH) asked you the best you entered them at the best - And as they took refuge to you from all the evil you took them out of all the evil. The secret of all those graces is asking from Allah with cognition.

So, we ask you too, to enter us to the best through all the best they asked you to get entered in. and we take refuge to get us out of all the evil they took refuge from them and you got them out of it. Even at the end of Allah’s Feast, you gave us the grace of taking off our hearth from the beach of our selfishness and to Passover to the sea of the hearth of Imam Mahdi(A.S.) which all is Allah’s Names(Allah’s signs), and you finally fulfilled us (by our paying attention to Allah’s Names, so that we perhaps get close to you and reach your Lega(visage), inshallah.

The Myth of a Sectarian War in Iraq:

When the world has been glued to the TV screens following the nimble movements of football players, the ISIS drama has unfolded in the most bizarre fashion. Clad in back, sporting black flags, the hoodlums are out on their wily ways. Iraq has been in the grip of political turmoil once again. The current socio-ethnic and geo-political mayhem surrounding Iraq cannot be treated in isolation with the rest of the Arab world. Iraq turns out to be the microcosm of the larger Arab world, in which it is pitted against the backdrop of multifarious challenges. The glorious ‘Arab Spring’ has given in to the very antithesis that it rose against, as seen in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen. Egypt finds itself in the clutches of military once again, maltreating journalists and grappling with scandals of women rights violation. Libya is torn in Benghazi and so is Yemen. The Boko Haram hysteria resounds in Muslim North Africa and does not auger well. Recently Iraq has become the seedbed of conflicts, cut down in size by being dubbed as a host to ‘sectarian war’. Consider Syria where ISIS was allowed to incubate, only to evolve into an invincible bedrock of evil, for the US chose to see their lot as ‘freedom-fighters-turned- rebels’. Hence the vast swathes of border crossings into Syria, that the ISIS has come to occupy, allow it unflinching patronage. The gap never comes, as their losses in Iraq are duly recompensed with the help of supplies from the safe houses they harbour in Lebanon and Syria. More so, the ISIS or ISIL, wherein ‘Levant’ stands for Lebanon, refers to their countless go downs in Lebanon’s Ersal, once a frontier town now bearing semblance of a Salafist enclave. The world seems obsessed with the ‘sectarian war’ mantra fed by the US. As passive listeners, we are comfortable with mindlessly regurgitating the US stance. It is strange that the ISIS in Iraq is tantamount to Sunni versus Shia strife, whereas the same clan, whether functioning under the appellation of TTP in Pakistan or Boko Haram elsewhere, likewise targets the state and challenges the writ of a democratic government and yet falls short of being labeled as ‘Sunni’. While Pakistan actually suffers from rigid sectarianism, the TTP has never been dubbed as ‘Sunni’ militant outfit. Hence the US is careful to inject this tirade at this critical juncture for the eon-old fight for ‘oil’ continues and not only Mosul, the second largest city of Iraq is under the ISIS, also, the towns dotted with untapped oil reserves have also fallen under the boots of the ISIS. Hence the US would not mind toppling a democratically elected government in Iraq calling it ‘Shiite’. The US also considers forging close relations with non-state actors at this point in time, as US Secretary of State John Kerry invited the President of the Kurdish region to help resolve the current conflict in Iraq during an unannounced visit to Arbil. One wonders if the US will play a similar farce in overthrowing a much awaited democracy in Afghanistan. Ask the most esteemed Shiite cleric in Iraq, Ayatullah Sistani and he says that his followers are not fighting a sectarian war, but fighting to safeguard the sovereignty of Iraq comprising Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites. Ayatullah Khamenei lays that the Iraq war is not a sectarian war but marked with typical (Machiavellian), ‘hegemonic’ pursuits. President Rouhani has remarked that though Iran would not hesitate in offering support to Iraq in guarding the holy shrines, yet this is a task that Iraq is capable of accomplishing itself. Osama al Nujaifi, a former speaker and most outstanding of the Sunni leaders denounces a third term for Maliki. Dhiaa al-Assadi a senior leader of Ahrar, a party associated with Moktada Al Sadr, the prominent Shiite cleric is positive that they can remove Maliki through constitutional means, so why the need for insurgency in which civilians are a hard hit. Constitutional means stipulate that democracy is not to be derailed. Some thinkers have gone to the absurd length of justifying the brutalities of Sadam under the ruse that he was ‘secular’! Hence the result is a bonding of the former Baathists and the ISIS. Baathists have a ‘secular outlook’ who espouse communist ideals and their alliance with ISIS is but a marriage of convenience. There are hundreds of thousands of Sunnis who denounce the barbarity of ISIS and have recently voted Maliki in. OIC and the Arab league remain conspicuous by their absence in the resolution of conflict in Iraq. Ironically the Muslim-Arab world has remained divided, in instances favouring the US and toeing its line. The rich oil producing countries seek their respective megalomaniac pursuits. The US in its recipe of success in Iraq is set to prepare grounds for a ‘unity government’ where unity implies subverting the democratic order. Instead of respecting the popular vote, the US finds it convenient to gather new friends, as Maliki does not serve its purpose anymore. Thus no matter how much the US reiterate that it is not its job to pick up candidates for Iraq’s premiership, it does not hesitate in holding meetings in search of an agreeable candidate. As a result there are a number of Iraqi leaders who have been anticipating their place in the top government circles. The possible candidates could be Ahmad Chalabi, Bayan Jaber and Adel Abdul Mahdi. These like Maliki are Shiites and include a fair share of seats in the parliament. This political manouevering began as a result of US press conference on 19th June in Washington, promsing 300 military advisers to Iraq. Given the most advanced technology borne by the US, is it a difficult feat for the US to help Iraq eliminate these elements altogether? Hence call it sectarian warfare or what; it all bogs down to cosmetic verbosity. We still dwell in the aftermath of the Soviet disintegration. The forceful juxtaposition of self-proclaimed Islamists and the US was not about the disintegration of the USSR. The militants who could not earn a space after this war, turned into terrorists on home ground. These were neither Shia nor Sunni as is the case today. There are scores of militants hailing from Europe who do not adhere to any Islamic sect. The fact of the matter is, these ‘takfeeri’ militants do not have any religion. Religion only lends a personable appearance to their nefarious deeds and allows them a gateway to the hearts of the “fools’ multitude” in Shakespearian parlance. No Sunni, or for that matter no religion sanctifies, genocide, vandalism, rape, abduction and demolition of sacred shrines. No Sunni can sanction massacre and sacrilege. Their furtive motives unravel plans to destroy and desecrate shrines in Iraq, revered by Muslims in totality. Had they been really devout Muslims, they would deem Israel as their target and not Muslims. The most blatant devastation of the Mausoleums of the Holy Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam’s companions in Raqqa and destruction of Khalid bin Waleed Mosque in Damascus is condemned by all denominations of Islam. Having occupied various border crossings into Syria and Jordan, as well as areas adjoining Saudi Arabia, ISIS is rapacious for ‘recognition’ as an independent territory. Being the recipient of unconditional help from Saudi Arabia, they look up to diplomatic recognition exploiting the strained ties which remain between Saudi Arabia and Iraq, due to Iran’s influence on the region. Calling it sectarian is also a careful move to tip the balance against the favour of Iran in the region. The congenial ties between Iran and Iraq after the ouster of Saddam do not bode well for the US. Maliki’s recent turning down of US aid in the shape of troops is also a further reinforcement of this point. However the airstrikes and drone attacks against the ISIS were called for, which till the writing of this article did not materialize. Obama has reduced the help to mere ‘intelligence gathering’ and advisory role of the 300 military advisors. Iraq, unlike Afghanistan does not pose terrestrial challenges, as it is not a landlocked state. The war is being waged in the vast desert plains and elimination of the terrorists is not difficult.

The broken Al Qaeda offshoot has emerged as the wealthiest and strongest of all the existing terrorist outfits. Having ransacked the Iraq Central bank in Mosul, and numerous others elsewhere along the length and breadth of Iraq’s West, ISIS has more than $400 million to its credit. Not only has it reopened many of the banks it looted to bring life back to normalcy in areas under its control, it is feared that it also has the capacity to start ‘paying’ salaries to the employees. This might rally them supporters from the otherwise disenchanted citizens. However comparing their track record of human crimes in Syria, it seems that restoring order is not part of their agenda. Tech-savvy, ISIS militants are conversant with the modern means of extortion. Different cell phone apps are employed as an advertising gimmick to extort money with embedded taxes. In Raqqa, the ISIS not only ended up plundering and looting, but also took over the eastern Syrian oil fields. This fueled not only the militant’s own consumption of oil but also made it imperative for the locals to purchase from them at jacked up prices. Their revenue base has increased with growing number of occupied territories in Iraq, where the new taxable community is the Christian. Having occupied Mosul, Tikrit and other regions along the border, they harbour grand megalomaniac ideals. The Governor of Ninevah province Atheel Al Nujaifi stated that the insurgents ceased an amount sufficient enough to occupy other countries. The ISIS insurgents have allegedly also emptied the vaults in other banks. The fight at Iraq’s biggest oil refinery Baiji, strategically located between Baghdad and Mosul has been an apple of discord. The fight in Iraq has always been lured by mercenary ends. Why is that the same ISIS in Syria is not seen as a potential threat but once Iraq has hit the headlines with the seething turmoil, it has rattled the US. Stephen R.Kappes, the former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington elucidates ‘it’s a problem that we haven’t seen since the towers went down on 9/11.’ Is it really that big a problem for the US, or are the oil reserves? Our collective memories still resound with the WMD rant, never to be found in Iraq. ISIS has grand ambitions of charting a territory out of the fractious Iraq, where the Kurds have already arisen as an autonomous region, duly recognized by Turkey. The Kurds in Iraq have increased their hold in the northeast including oil rich city Kirkuk whereas the Sunnis have entrenched a strong hold in the west. US would make sure that it has ally in the region that it can fall back on, hence practically no military support to counter ISIS has been provided, rather than churning high-sounding diplomatic jargon redolent with ‘concern’ for suffering humanity. Turkey however has forged close alliance with the autnomous Kurdish region in Iraq. The Iraqi city Mosul captured on June 10, sent shock waves across the world. News is that 100 Turkish citizens have been detained including babies and women, thanks to the influx of militants to Syria via Turkey. Turkey’s foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu is famous for his departure from the conservative policies with regards to the Kurd. His ‘zero problems’ vision has brought Turkey closer to the Kurdish region than Iraq. Now a 50- year deal with Iraqi Kurdistan to export oil through a pipeline running in Turkey is another viable reason.

Thus Turkey has recognized the autonomous Kurd region and acknowledges it as a strategic partner, though not paying heed to the disgruntled Kurd in Turkey. The collective memory of the global community could be regarded short-lived but is it a bygone that the stage is set in Qatar. The political actors include stalwarts from AL Qaeda and the US to ‘negotiate’. Enemies of humanity are not negotiated with, for negotiations happen on an equal footing. Yet the US engaged the anti-state elements disguised as Al-Qaeda as has been the wont with the US to destabilize order. Thus the world is poised at the crossroads leading to dystopia in which the US is only grinding its own axe.

A desirable Islam for the Zionists:

You have certainly heard the name of the terrorist group of “ISIS” (DAESH) these days. ISIS is the abbreviation of the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria , who are claiming to establish a government that is supposed to be an Islamic government of the region of Iraq and Syria. But truly the group is a section of the terrorist groups of the region such as Alqaedeh which are encouraged and equipped by USA, England, and Israel. The aim of the terrorist group of ISIS is the same as the Zionists of the region to weaken the real Islam front and also creating instability and insecurity in the countries at the resistance line, which means providing the benefits of U.S.A. and Isreal at West. The financial providence of this unbeliever group is not afforded through the intellectual services of the West, but also it is afforded through Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey, ….The story of ISIS started from the occupation of Iraq and reached the instability of Syria so they could not get such a great victories through the resistance of the government and the nation of Syria. After the great election of Iraq and re-election of Nori Al-Maleki Shia’s government by the people of Iraq, the terrorist group of ISIS occupied cities by using the internal disagreements in some provinces of Iraq and they are getting released one by one now because of the awareness of Shia and Sunnis’ scholars and by the army of Iraq. The members of this terrorist group are from different nationalities that are united with the remains of members of Bath Party and the supporters of Saddam. Both the Shia and Sunnis’ scholars know this group as misguided. We can point to some of their misguidance such as their killing of innocent people, raping girls and women and their marriage jihad, and ….. Inshallah, through Allah’s Mercy , the special approach of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) , and the awareness of the scholars and the people of the region this group of unbelievers would reach a destiny such as of Saddam, Qazafi, Ben Laden, and the cursed Shah. Inshallah we soon reach the Arrival of Imam Mahdi (A.S.)

Martyrdom in Quran and Hadithes:

A look at the truth of martyrdom Martyrdom means mortality of human being to achieve the source of light and to approach the absolute being. Martyrdom is the love of joining beloved in the most beautiful way. martyrdom is a death by being killed in which the martyr consciously chooses it for the sake of a holy end and as Quran called ( فی سبیل اللهFor God's Sake) and as Prophet(PBUH) said this kind of death is the best and the most honorable one. (اشرف الموت قتل الشهاده)and Amir-al- Momenin imam Ali(A.S.) considers it as the most respectable death (اکرم الموت القتل). Martyr (Shahid) is defined as witness and it is known as the one who is placed in the way of martyrdom and is killed for God's sake. Martyrdom is not a kind of death but a description of reasonable life. Therefore the martyr is alive for ever. وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِینَ قُتِلُواْ فِی سَبِیلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْیاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ یرْزَقُونَ "Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their lord they have provision." Martyr is alive for ever and his death is actually a transfer from current life in the nature to its behind-the-scenes life. و لا تقولوا لمن یقتل فی سبیل الله اموات بل احیاء و لکن لا تشعرون There are around 10 verses in Holy Quran which are obviously about the ones who are killed for God's sake. Different subjects covered in these verses includes the aliveness of martyrs, aliment of Martyrs, forgiveness of sins by martyrs, no spoiling of martyr's actions, happiness of martyrs, entrance to divine mercy, and salvation of martyrs. A great number of Hadiths are quoted by Infallible Imams in expression of sublime position and degree of martyrs , the virtue of martyrdom and the reward of it.

We cease this article with a translation of one of Prophet's Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) said that: When the fighters aim at taking part In the war , God guarantees their immunity from the fire of hell and as they get ready for the war, the angels will be proud of them. While they say farewell to their families, fishes and houses weep for them. They will be forgived of their sins as the snakes molt. Almighty God appoints four thousand angels to protect them from front and back. Whatever virtue they do, will be doubled. For each day of their presence in the field of war is the reward equal to the prayer of thousand devouts. No one is able to perceive the reward of their confrontation with enemies and as they stand to fight and shoot, the angels spread wing on their head and pray for their victory and consistency. On the moment of injuries, heavenly spouse and divinve mercies will descend for him. Good for pure souls, which come out of pure bodies. Congratulations to you for the sake of munificences and mercies which are seen by no eyes and are heard by no air and are impinged on no hearts. (Kashf-ol-Asrar – va- Oddat-ol-Abrar, Vol. 2nd. Pages 248 ,249)

About Imam Hossain(A.S.):

The uprising of Imam Hossain(A.S.) has different aspects that is important from figures and reason points of view to form this great movement. Speaking about the reasons of Ashora uprising is inspiring for the Mosloms specially to Shiaa in new ages. Standing against the oppressor. Imam Hossain(A.S.) points to his motivations of uprising that is a necessity to stand against the oppression. He replies: "یا ایها الناس ،ان رسول الله ص قال: من رای سلطانا جایرا مستحلا لحرم الله ،ناکثا لعهدالله،مخالفا لسنت رسول الله ،یعمل فی عبادالله بالاثم و العدوان ،فلم یعیر (یغیر) علیه بفعل ولا قول کان حقا علی الله ان یدخله مدخله ...الا وان هولا قد لزوموا طاعه الشیطان و ترکوا طاعه الرحمن و اظهروا الفساد و عطلوا الحدود و استاثروا بالفی و احلوا الله و حرموا حلاله وانا احق من غیر. O people! Prophet(PBUH) said : While a Moslem watches the oppression of an oppressor that counts an illegal issue as a resolvant one and breaks the vow to God ,he behaves against the Sonnah(the tradition) of Prophet(PBUH) and is guilty among people ,but if a Moslem keeps silent and doesn't blame the cruel by his behaviors and speeches doesn't disclaim and impeach , it's upon God to torture him as same as the oppressor. It will present us the complete reward. There will be no separation between the members of Prophet's body rather they will come together in the great enjoyable and pleasant heaven and the prophet (PBUH) will visit them and his promise will come true. Now any of you people who are ready to sacrifice his blood for us , get ready so l'll move early at the morning . Be aware that cruel tribe and rulers of Baniomaye follow Satan and obligatory obey him and leave obeying the merciful and appeared immoral and corruption and stopped the limitation of Allah and devoted all the Faay booties which were Moslem's belongings to themselves. They count the taboos as permitted and vise versa. And I am better than stranger (to stop these affairs, ban them and govern the Moslem society to perform the Quranic rules and Prophet's Sonnah. The important tip in above note is that Imam Hossain(A.S.) prohibited people from being silent for cruelty and oppression(which is the main pivot of this note ) additional to the conformation of Baniomay's corruptions and destruction over Moslems sovereign and Welaya for several times. In fact there are 3 important reasons of Ashura uprising in this cermon. Imam Hossain(A.S.) made all his companions ready to sacrifice themselves from a very beginning of his departure from Mecca to Koofe. He gives a famous speech before coming out of Mecca and aware the presents of standing against the oppression to the death. He says: خط الموت علی ولد آدم مخط القلاده علی جیدالفتاه وما اولهنی الی اشتیاق اسلا فی اشتیاق یعقوب الی یوسف ...من کان باذلا قینا مهجته و موطنا علی لقاالله نفسه فلیرحل معنا فانی راحل مصبحا ان شا الله. Death has been hanged to the neck of young girls like a necklase and l have this desire to visit my ancestors like the one which Prophet Yaghoob(A.S.) had for visiting Prophet Yousef(A.S.). A shamble has been chosen for me in advance that I should arrive there like I can see the wolves are separating all parts of my bodies in the desert between Navavis and Karbala and full their hungry stomach . There is no scape of destiny.

We, the prophet's family are satisfied with the Allah's satisfaction. We 're patient to his exams and disasters. All the Imams would never separate from the Prophet(PBUH) until they gather around him at Heaven. And his eye would be lightened by meeting them and Allah’s promise would be done through his family. Now, if any of you are ready to sacrifice himself for our path and is ready to meet Allah, comes with us. I would start moving at the morning, inshallah. Reviveing the prophetic custom and eliminateing heresies After the Prophet of Islam, a lot of heresies enter to the Islamic society. Instead noticeable part of prophetic customs were forgotten. Imam Hussain accents the aspect of acting according the custom of Prophet and ali in his devise, moreover he believes to the necessity of eliminateing created heresies. When he sent his envelope to the heads of basreh after his Arrival to the meka, and wrote: "right now I send my courier to you with this envelope, I invite you to the Quran and prophetic custom, because we are in the situation that prophetic custom are eliminated totally and heresies revived, if you listen my speech, I will guide you to the right path." Reviveing God sentences and helping the oppressed From such a multidimensional sermons of Imam Hussain about this aspect , is a sermon which allama tehrani quotes in lamaat alhussain from tohaf aloghol. In this sermon, Imam Hussain mentions to some other reasons for his uprising, in addition to revising the society and reviveing prophetic custom. In this sermon expressed: "Oh Allah! You know what happened to us(desiring uprising, promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, helping the oppressed and repression ruthless) is not for desiring the reign and power and property. But it is for seeing the sign of your religion and revealing the revision in your cities. Therefore your oppressed servants secure and behave according to your custom and sentences. So people be aware! If you don't help us, the ruthless governors will overcome to you and apply their power against you and try to put out the light of your Prophet."

Mahdism(AJ) from the viewpoint of the Leader of the world of Islam, Ayatollah Khamanie:

Perception of presence: Believing in Imam Zaman (AJ) block the way for human being to obey injustice in case of understanding it correctly. If the belief is deeply understood by souls, Imam Zaman (AJ) presence will be perceived by people as well. The honorable, precious, and innocent Imam who is the center of possible world and the patron of all creatures is present despite being absent. In fact, it is impossible for him not to be present. Faithfull persons feel this presence by all their senses and Imam’s absence does not interfere with the feeling of his presence. A real Shiite is the one who:

1. Feel Imam Mahdi’s presence.

2. And feel himself in the presence of him. The true meaning of waiting: The true meaning of waiting has different aspects; one of which is not to be satisfied with the existed situation. “Waiting” means:

1. Whatever good task we or others have done is not enough.

2. And we are waiting for the world to overwhelm with goodness.

The Greatest Duty: The greatest duty of Imam Zaman’s waiters is:

1. To prepare themselves spiritually, morally, and practically.

2. To establish emotional and religious ties with believers.

3. And, also, to get ready for fighting with oppressors. Before Imam Mahdi (AJ) arrival, innocent people will get examined, experience difficult exams and pass them proudly… and the world gets close day to day to the ideal time of Imam Mahdi (AJ) arrival.

Tadabor in Surah Al-Qadr :

Tadabor in Quran: Sallam Alikum Surah Al-Qadr In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power. (1) Night talks with us about Hazrat Fatema(A.S.) When it becomes night , the stars could be seen through it, as Hazrat Fateme came up to this world the stars of velaye started shinning Allah is talking about Quran's revealation which was revealed through velaye. It was revealed to Prophet Mohammad(A.S.) and after then it is being revealed each year to Imam Mahdi(A.S.) at Qadr Night. Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is! (2) It is so great that not many of people could understand it. The only way of conveying it is through velaye Meaning that we should get so close to Imam at Qadr Night , so that we could understand it better The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. (3) So, we should respect it as it is a symbol of velaye. Hazrat Fatema's dignity is being showed at it. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees. (4) They all would descend to the heart of Imam Mahdi"s(AJ) And all these happens at the Qadr Night, at the heart of Hazrat Fateme Since Imam Mahdi is at the heart of Hazrat Fateme (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn. (5) All these revealings and descending of the angels would occur until the rising of the dawn of Qadr Night. Meaning that all of them are at peace until the Arrival of Imam Mahdi(AJ) So, my sisters , Qadr Night is an opportunity for all of us to get closer to the heart of Imam and Hazrat Fateme at the night of Ali. Ya Ali, you were martyard at these nights to remind us the gate and door of velaye. So, we get through it and ask for the Arrival of your son, which is at Hazrat Fateme's heart Inshallah, Eltemase Doa اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج 

Tadabor in Surah Al-Baghareh:

FROM THE BEGINNING OF QURAN: Tadabor from the beginning of Quran (using some chosen versues): God wants to introduce himself through everything especially through Quran And he told us we should go through the 'Strait Path" to get close to Him Quran is just a guidance book for that holy journey, a journey from me to Him And we needed a leader to guide us throughout that trip so He introduced him at this book, too. The strait path is the Imam, the valayat. Quran was revealed at the night of Qadr since he wanted us to get close to the heart of the Prophet(A.S.) as well as the heart of Imam at each night of Qadr Those are the ones who have given them his favor of Imamate(الذین انعمت علیهم) So, lets look at Quran from that point of view now O.K. lets look at Baghare Surreh: (Tadabor in it) This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah (2) Those are the Imams since they have virtue and they are supposed to lead us in that journey (to get close to Allah) To see him as well as we can(Lega ollah) Imam is the only one who is supposed to lead us to His guidance through Quran We should believe his Imammate and in his presence "Who believe in the unseen, .........."(3) If you want to say something related to these versues or questions to ask please let us know it God revealed this holy book to his Prophet since he wanted to show the strait way to His Lega(to get close to Him) While we understand it and realized that this guidance book is right now at Imam Mahdi(AJ)"s , then we could be guided through that. Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.(5) And those who don't believe in Imam they won't be guided through Quran at all since the first point is that they should beleive the unseen(Imam Mahdi's Imammate as well as the Last Day) Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided.(16) Then, God created a successor ( a Kalife) for himself so he could lead the people to Him And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."(30) Then, He ordered all the angels to bow down in front of him since he wanted to show them that all the aim of the creation is summurized in Imammate and Velaya And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.(34) Through the ignorance and un-obedience of Satan, a door to the falsehood opened. So, Allah opened a door to the truth, called Tobe(the forgiveness path) And through opening that door to the Truth , He wanted to introduce the Imams( the words) to all the creatures. Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.(37) God guides the people to Himself through those Imams ...........And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.(38) Inshallah , this Tadabor would be useful for you, We are getting close to Magreb Azan in Iran. So, inshallah we will continue it at another time again. If you have any questions ask it please. And if you want to present your Tadabor of Quran please do it so we could all use it . This is Tadabor in Quran. Tadabor should be based upon the hadithes and versuses of Quran Tadabor should be based on Tafsir For example; At Tafir you read that the 2nd versue of Baghare "Those who believe the unseen", the unseen relates to both the Last Day and the Imam Mahdi's absence(not being apparent) At Tafsir and hadithes has said that the reason that the angels were supposed to bow down in front of Adam was that his soil was created from the light of the Imams You know all the reason of revelation of Quran is to guide us to get close to Allah And the one who is supposed to lead us to Him is the Imam At Tafsir we read that Imam is the 'Strait Path" صراط المستقیم" Ali is the Serat(صراط) himself Yes, of course. And all of us have heard that our Prophet(A.S.) has said: I leave you two valueable thing( Saghalein): Allah's Book(Quran) and Sonati(the hadithes through Imams) And they could not be separated from each other . And certainly when we read and think about Quran we should look at it by Imam's leadership Imammate and valaye is the main purpose of Quran's revelation You know God has created all this world to introduce them since Imams are the only strait path to Him Unfortunately, many people read Quran without looking at it from this point of view And that is why it pulls us down from where we are instead of pulling us up Yes, we certainly reach to such that versue too We are talking about Tadabor from the beginning of Quran As you see we have two hejabs(veils) in front of us One is the dark kind of hejabs The other is the light kind of hejabs An example for the light kind of hejab is reading Quran without velaya point of view And since some people don't realize it as they go futher in Quran, the light kind of hejab would become greater And they think that they are at the strait path even though the truth is that what they see is just a mirage Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see.(Baghare:17) The ones who read Quran from without the valaye they just thicken their light hejab(veil) The ones who read Quran without the valaye they just thicken their light hejab(veil) Imam Khomaini has said: The biggest hejab(the veil) between us and God is the hejab of knowledge That hejab or distance between us and God is that we just depend on the apparent knowledges in Quran O.K. It's late now. Inshallah , we will continue our Tadabor as soon as possible on the next days The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: Then he created a Kalife for himself so that he could lead us to Allah And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."(30) Then He ordered the angels to bow down in front of Adam since he wanted to show the light of Imamate and vallaye in him And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated,(34) And the moment that Satan didn't obey God , a path was created to Falsehood So, exactly at that point Allah opened the door of repentance and he introduced its key : "the words" which were the Imams so that the believers get familiar with their leader and obey them to reach Allah Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.(37) God invited the people to get close to Him through the Imams(the guidance) .....And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.(38) O.K. You know the reason that Allah show the Imams dignity was to introduce the leaders to them Since they were supposed to be guided to Allah through those leaders(Imams) So, he called the Children of Isreal to pay attention to the favour that He has given them That favour was the favour of Imammat and vallaye O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me.(40) And the point was that if anyone wants to invite the people to God , he should first realize his reality(Nafs) Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?(44) And they only way that we could truly get close to Allah is by realizing ourselves Now, I am talking about versue 44 See, while we understand our reality(Nafs) then we would be able to understand the reality of Imam and then get close to Allah Who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him.(46) And the way to reach these, I mean the only way to go through this journey to reach Allah is through caring our prayers, believing in it and also to be patient And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ](45) You know we should believe that the prayers are so important is taking away all the obstacles between us and God We all have a spiritual journey on the way, we have to rely on our God to pass it successfully. In addition, we have to do our best for the Arrival of Imam Mahdi(A.S.), God willing. Steps of this journey: 1. Passing our bodies: (passing from our dependence to the natural and material world) (الهی هب لی کمال الانقطاع الیک). (O my god,(please) grant me absolute devotion to you) Open this cage & tear this trap off my foot... tear the chains to face You my love. 2- To go further than our souls: - ( و انر ابصار قلوبنا بضیاء نظرها الیک) (And illuminate the sights of our hearts with the light of observing you.) Tear off the curtains between us So I see your lovely face. 3 - To achieve our reality(Nafs): (حتی تخرق ابصار القلوب حجب النور) ( So that the sights of our hearts penetrate the screens(cover) of light.) It's impossible to see you through this cover Take this cover away of your flowery face... 4 - Annihilation in God(s): ( فتصل الی معدن العظمه) (So connect us to the source of magnificence...) Tell to all those important ones to accept us, madly in love, to support us. 5 - Survival to God(s): (و تصیر ارواحنا معلقه بعز قدسک) (And that our souls hang to the majesty of your holiness) If you wish The Lover not to lose link of vows keep the rope not to be torn , Source : Shabaniye Prayers & some of Imam Khomeyni 's poems. Notice: For reaching to the end of this journey we should seek help from: And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ](45) Sallam Alikum The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: As Allah reminds the Children of Israel about the favour of Vallaye and Imammat He introduces to them 14 favour later on: O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds.(47) Through the word : "و اذ" And (recall) when........which reminds us the 14 favours of Allah (The 14 innocents : Prophet Mohammad(A.S.) , Imam Ali(A.S.), Hazrat Zahra(A.S.) , imam Hassan(A.S.) and the other Imams) That somehow they seems to be related to those innocents: 1st. Favour: And [recall] when We saved your forefathers from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst torment, slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.(49) 2nd Favour: And [recall] when We parted the sea for you and saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on.(50) 3rd Favour: And [recall] when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf after him, while you were wrongdoers.(51) 4rth Favour: And [recall] when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion that perhaps you would be guided.(53) 5th Favour: And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.(54) 6th Favour: And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allah outright"; so the thunderbolt took you while you were looking on.(55) 7th Favour: And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens.' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."(58) 8th Favour: And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allah , and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."(60) 9th Favour: And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.(61) 10th Favour: And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."(63) 11th Favour: And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant."(67) 12th Favour: And [recall] when you slew a man and disputed over it, but Allah was to bring out that which you were concealing.(72) 13th Favour: And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allah ; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakah." Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.(83) 14th Favour: And [recall] when We took your covenant, [saying], "Do not shed each other's blood or evict one another from your homes." Then you acknowledged [this] while you were witnessing.(84) And then throughout the further versues He emphasized on His favour again and again It reminds us them as they are in this order you just now think about the coincidence of these 14 favours that God mentioned to them and the 14 innocent ones If you want to now alittle bit about how I reached that point in my Tadabor is that for example; The 3rd Favour: And [recall] when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf after him, while you were wrongdoers.(51) It reminds us the 40 day and nights while our Prophet was supposed to fast at its days and worship at its nights and it was an appointment for him since God was going to give him a baby called Fatemeh. But the people through that time , they truely were wrongdoers since they left Hazreat Kadije alone as Hazrat Fatemeh was borned. You don't go to the deep meaning of these versues , but just think about the favour of Imamat and Vallaye which God is trying to introduce them through Quran and this is the important point. You see we have a hadith in which our Prophet (A.S.) has said that: I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its door And where is the city of knowledge? It is nowhere thatn in Quran. O.K. Imam Ali(A.S.) is its door. Meaning the door of Quran in each versues of it is Imammate and Vellaye Lets continue our Tadabor : (Bagareh: 142 ....) The Path(صراط) is the Imam and whoever God wants guide them to Imam since they are the guided people and they are the only path to Him The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?" Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."(142) And God introduced them as the guided people: .........for those whom Allah has guided....(143) There is a way for everyone to get close to God , but the people who race to the goods would be gathered with their Imam For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.(148) So race to [all that is] good........good refers us to Imammate and Valaye. And the ones who race to good(Imammate and Valaye), so whenever they are, Allah will bring them forth all together with their Imam. Allah would gather them all. Allah would gather them all around the center of the creation Imam is like the Kaaba , as the people go to Kaaba, they should go to the Imam, too. When all gather with their Imam and turn their faces toward him all God's favour would be completed for them and they would be guided And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided.(150) God explains the reason of Imammate and Valaye for us through three points: Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.(151) 1-reciting to you Our verses 2-and purifying you 3- and teaching you the Book and wisdom Through this path we are supposed to remember God and remind Him to others , we should thank Him , take care of our prayers and be patient. So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.(152) O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.(153) Since we are supposed to be treated by Imammate and Velaye through His special blessings and mercy. Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.(157) ************* Salam Alikum The Imammate and Velaye are the clear proofs which guide us to Allah.The clear proofs and the guidance are so attached to each other Allah curse the ones who conceal it. Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse,(159) Allah mentions His unity and introduces to us His entire and especial Mercy . But His especial Mercy would be served to the ones who believe and obey Imammat and Vellaye. And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.(163) He introduces His signs at His creatures and announces their aim which they are supposed to awaken those who use reason. And they are also supposed to give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness as the rain does it to the earth by Velaye. Since Imam is called 'Mae Main" since he gives life thereby to everything after its lifelessness, too Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.(164) We will continue it soon inshallah Say: "Have you considered who, if your water should sink into the ground, will bring you any water from a spring?"(Al-Molk: 30) It refers to Imam Mahdi(AJ) "any water from a spring" which is called Mae Maein(بماء معین) The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: All Allah's creatures have signs of Imammate and Velaye. And Allah has created them through it. But only the people who use reason could realize it. While Allah talks about obeying the Velaye(ما انزل الله) , the disbelievers say that they obey their ancestors. Eventhough Allah says that they don't use reason, so they wouldn't be guided And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?(170) As to this versue and versue 164, only the ones who use their reason who get the best advantage from the apparent signs (such as skys and earth and etc) and also the internal signs(such as Imammate and Velaye) as well and get life thereby after their lifelessness. Because the Velaye of Imam Mahdi(AJ) is Mae Ma in" any water from a spring. And anyone who believe in him and obey him would get life again And disbelievers are disable of understanding it because they don't use reason The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.(171) The good things that Allah has provided for us are two kinds: material and spiritual goods And all of those are provided for us through Velaye. If anybody thanks God by believing and obeying it , he has worshiped God truely O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.(172) And all of those who conceal the Velaye and they plot against the Holy Book and Velaye and receive some benefits from it, too, the Hell wouldn't purify them. And the repentence door is closed for them since they are still concealing and plotting yet. Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment.(174) Since they prefered error and falsehood instead of guidence and the Hell instead of Allah's forgiveness. Those are the ones who have exchanged guidance for error and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are in pursuit of the Fire!(175) It's enough for tonight. Inshallah we soon get prepared for Imam Mahdi(AJ)'s Arrival. Salam Alikum Lets continue Tadabor in Quran, inshallah: Velaye is 'Righteousness" and the Khair which was talken about at the previous versues. The point is not that you only turn your face toward Kaaba, but you should get a sample from the Imam , too. And He explains to us the sample of Imammate through this versue: Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who: believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves ; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.(177) So, they should be a pattern forus, since the Imams are the ones who have been true and are righteous This is the meaning of believing and following the Imammate and Velaye God introduces the month of Ramadan as a month of realizing the dignity of Imam Ramada means rain. And Ramadan is the month of introducing God's Mercy through its raining. Rain would clear everywhere , it would refresh everywhere, it would give life to all So, Ramadan would do the same if the people understand it and use their best from it God introduces all the drops of this rain The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an,(one drop) a guidance for the people (the other drop) and clear proofs of guidance (the other drop) and criterion. (the other drop) All drops of rain are the same but He wants to introduce velaye through it. That Velaye is not separated from Quran , it's the same, And also it's a guidance for the people, a clear proof of guidance and criterion. Since the Prophet(A.S.) has said that they should be together so that a rain could be created through hadith Sagalain(حدیث ثقلین) ........... Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.(185) If we understand His guidance through Imammate then we truely thank Him for it Prophet(A.S.): I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its door , so whoever wants to to get in that city and the Hekmat(its purpuse) should get in through its door. And is that city and its purpose other than in Quran? God had revealed the Al-Qadr Surreh , to guide us through Quran to the Imammate Since in Qadr nights , Quran is still sending down to the heart of Imam Mahdi(AJ). He is directing us through Ramadan and eQadr nights in order to introduce to us the dignity of Vellaye and Imammate The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. ............ Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.(185) Inshallah , we will continue our Tadabor, soon. And inshallah we will be guided through it to Imam the purpose of the revelation of Quran. ******************* Salam Alikum: Let's continue our Tadabor in Quran: Allah tells to his Prophet that any people asked you that why they do their best to get close to me but they can't, you tell them: the point is not in whether I am close to them or near. I am close to them but the point is that they don't believe and obey the Imammate and Velaye. And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.(186) Believing in Me and responding to me is to believe and respond to Velaye So, that they may be (rightly) guided. If we want to be rightly guided we should go through this path which is the 'Strait Path" You know who they are: As in Kasa Hadith has said : Those are Fateme and her father and her husband and her sons(هم فاطمه و ابوها و بعلها و بنوها) You know our Prophet(A.S.) said : I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its door So, the righteous is that anyone who wants to get in to a house to go through its door and Velaye is the door of prosperity and virtue ..........And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allah. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allah that you may succeed.(189) We should enter the Lega of Allah (meeting Him) through its door, too, which is Velaye. And we have been orderd to do goods and follow the doers of good whom are Imams. And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.(195) * Ladies we are at Ramadan as His and at the day of Friday as Imam Mahdi's guest. So, ask for the best from your host today. Ask for Imam's Arrival and to be accepted at the Qadr nights inshallah And the only way we could reach his Arrival is not only believe in his Imammate and Velaye but also do good as the doers of good(himself) Good (Khair) invites us to Velaye which Allah knows it We should take provisions since we are going to have a jouney ahead of us to reach Allah And the best provision is to fear Allah and have virtue .........And whatever good you do - Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah . And fear Me, O you of understanding.(197) And this is why at the end of this versue he introduced the Imams by ones of understanding(یا اولی الالباب) and orders them that : And fear me, O you of understanding. Since the people follow them in their virtue(واتقون یا اولی الالباب) This is the reason that He call the Imams to have virtue since the people need to have a pattern of virtue in their life. And you know since 'Good" is Velaye , we are supposed to ask it for us at here and for our hereafter. But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."(201) Since God gives us that Good we would be protected from the punishment of the Fire at here and at the Hereafter too And certainly, all those who believe and obey in Velaye, they would be given a portion of it over here, too . Since Allah is quick in account Those will have a share of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in account.(202) I think it's enough for today . And if we are His guests in Ramadan and Imam's guest on Friday,O.k. ask for our portion and share of Velaye if we are supposed to be hosted through Velaye over here today inshallah. Eltemase Doa for his Arrival , please اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج Sallam Alikum The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: Allah introduced Velaye as the nations were busy with their differences And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.(213) But the question is that : When is Allah's help"the Arrival of Imam Mahdi(AJ)"? ........."When is the help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.(214) Religion is Imammat and Velaye . Whoever gets out of religion he has neither anything over here nor at the hereafter And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.(217) The true religious people have velaye . And the meaning of real meanning of Sabil Allah(سبیل الله) is the path of Velaye. The ones who go to this path have three characteristics: 1-those who have believed in Velaye 2-and those who have emigrated because of velaye 3- and fought in the cause of Allah(at the path of velaye) Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah - those expect the mercy of Allah . And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.(218) And God would only accept these people with these 3 characteristics to be supporters of Imam Mahdi(AJ) انصار المهدی Since Allah's Mercy is to give them such as this opportunity. "Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.(218) Velaye path is so clear, and whoever wants to reach Heaven and His forgiveness should go through its path which is Velaye .........Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.(221) We should: 1- remember and remind the favour of Quran and velaye to everyone,which are the Book and Wisdom(velaye) . They are Saghalain. Saghalain Hadith: Prophet(A.S.) before his death said: I leave you two worthy things: Quran and my Etrat(Imams) Our Imam is alone even between the readers and followers of Quran 2- We should follow velaye through fearing God and having virtue(اتقوالله) And through versue 197 we understood that the only and best pattern of virtue that God refered us to it were the ones who have reason(Imams) And remember the favor of Allah upon you and what has been revealed to you of the Book and wisdom by which He instructs you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Knowing of all things.(231) We also understood while God wants us to beware of him, he meant beware of what velaye forbids you Since Allah and his Prophet and the Imams know what is in yourself(Nafs) And know that Allah knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing.(235) Eventhough God owns The Forgiveness, but he asks us that if you do these two you are supporting the Velaye: 1- And to forego it is nearer to righteousness.2- And do not forget graciousness between you. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allah , of whatever you do, is Seeing.(237) He clears for us that if we want to rise for Allah's will and support the Velaye, we should do it by obeyind him specifically by protecting our prayers. Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer and stand before Allah , devoutly obedient.(238) We should protect from our prayers though three things: 1- protecting its specific time 2- its rules and 3- the presence of our heart at it But the most important thing that we should do to protect our prayers is to protect our actions throughout our life , to take care of it by the standard of velaye. Since the prayers are the point of our taking off from the worldly desires and starting our journey to Allah. To care of our prayers would help our journey to start so soon, If we believe it and do what velaye and Imammat ordered us to do. We would first reach the station of realizing Nafs, then realizing the Imam and at the end realizing God O.K. If any of you have any questions about any of these Tadabors or or any of the statements please ask it. Eltemase Doa. *************** Salam Alikum The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: God had cleared His signs for us through Velaye and only the people who use reason could understand it Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses(signs) that you might use reason.(242) If we get released from Satan's velaye and get ride of our worldly desires , then Allah would give us life through Imammate and velaye Since He is the owner of velaye( the bounty) .........Allah said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.(243) Even though most people don't show gratitude to Allah. We could show our gratitude to Him through 3 ways: -praise Him by your tongue -praise Him by your heart -praise Him by your actions There are three points which good or evil could enter through it for us: 1-our heart 2- our eyes 3- our ears And there are three elements which do either good or evil that they receive from those three points: 1-our mouth 2- our hands 3- our legs Now, we should see the root of good which is velaye for everything (the real bounty) or hear it with our ears so then believe it through our heart. So, that we could praise God through our tongue and our heart. Then Allah would give us life after He kills our worldly desires, so that we could then praise Him by our actions too through obeying velaye. Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.(245) Of course, whoever believe in velaye he could loan a goodly loan to Him and He may multiply it for him many times over through helping him to obey the velaye, too. And it would be the path that He will return them to Him(by believing and obeying velaye) And He has given degnity to us by asking us to loan Him a goodly loan. Eltemase Doa: اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج Salam Alikum The continuation of Tadabor in Quran: Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. (247) Kingdom refers us to Velaye and all the issue which the people fought over it is to have velaye for themselves And Allah gave Saul(Taloot) velaye in two aspects: one was in wisdom(the knowledge of it) and the other was in stature(obeying it) And their Prophet said unto them: Lo! the token of his kingdom is that there shall come unto you the ark wherein is peace of reassurance from your Lord, and a remnant of that which the house of Moses and the house of Aaron left behind, the angels bearing it. Lo! herein shall be a token for you if (in truth) ye are believers. (248) God ordered to put Moses in the ark because of the danger of the oppressors. So, that they couldn't see him. And Imam Mahdi(AJ) is hidden exactly because of that reason. As the ark was an obstacle between Moses and the others, there is an obstacle between the Imam and the people. *And only the people who believe in velaye and obey it such as wife of Paroah, Asieye, realized Moses and could support him So, only the people who believe in velaye and obey it could realize and support Imam Mahdi(AJ) Two results of it: اللهم ارنی طلعه الرشیده. اللهم اجعلنی من انصاره و اعوانه. As God put peace of reassurance because of Moses and a remnant (بقیه) of that which the house of Moses and the house of Aaron left behind, He had put peace of reassurance for the whole world because of Imam Mahdi(AJ) and since he is the remnant of Allah(بقیه الله) And indeed in believing and obeying velaye is such a reassurance from the Lord( through his educating program) فیه سکینه من ربکم And the angels beared the ark of Moses to his rescue island so they would bear our Imam to his resue island (to his Arrival)تحمله الملائکه Yes, of course, as it has said at the end of this versue: Lo! herein shall be a token for you if (in truth) ye are believers. (248) There is a sign for you if you are believers If you don't consider Moses in this versue for a moment then you could see the sign in it . Then the only thing which would be left in this versue as to its exact words would be about Imam Mahdi(AJ). بقیه الله خیر لکم ان کنتم مومنین(هود: 86) Due even to its exact words of this versu: وقَالَ لَهُمۡ نَبِیُّهُمۡ إِنَّ ءَایَةَ مُلۡڪِهِۦۤ أَن یَأۡتِیَڪُمُ ٱلتَّابُوتُ فِیهِ سَڪِینَةٌ۬ مِّن رَّبِّڪُمۡ وَبَقِیَّةٌ۬ مِّمَّا تَرَکَ ءَالُ مُوسَىٰ وَءَالُ هَـٰرُونَ تَحۡمِلُهُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕکَةُ‌ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِکَ لَأَیَةً۬ لَّڪُمۡ إِن کُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ (٢٤٨) .............بَقِیَّةٌ۬ ............. لَّڪُمۡ إِن کُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ (٢٤٨) بقیه الله خیر لکم ان کنتم مومنین(هود: 86) The only word which is its difference is the word of "Allah" and the word "khair" It could be a great lesson for us too, Since Moses' sister followed him(khair ) and saw his rescue , and if we follow the Velaye of Imam Mahdi(AJ), too since he is the remanent of Allah, we would soon see him rescuing us if we are beleivers.Inshallah. Eltemase Doa. Inshallah as it is the birthday of Imam Hassan(A.S.) we ask Allah for Imam Mahdi"s rescue soon. اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج عید مبارک ان شاءالله بظهور الحجه ******************************* Salam Alikum The continuation of Tadabor in Quran at some chosen versues in Baghareh Surreh: ........

We should even introduce velaye through spending the material provisions to all, too. For example, while we spend any of those provisions today, we could say to everybody that it is Barakat or blessings of Imam Hassan (A.S.)

Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (258) ألَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِى حَآجَّ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمَ فِى رَبِّهِۦۤ أَنۡ ءَاتَٮٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُلۡکَ إِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمُ رَبِّىَ ٱلَّذِى یُحۡىِۦ وَیُمِیتُ قَالَ أَنَا۟ أُحۡىِۦ وَأُمِیتُ‌ۖ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ یَأۡتِى بِٱلشَّمۡسِ مِنَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ فَأۡتِ بِہَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ فَبُهِتَ ٱلَّذِى کَفَرَ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا یَہۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ (٢٥٨) The kingdom"ملک" is for velaye. Life or death is given through velaye. But that man tricked the people by releasing one prisoner and killing the other. So, Ebrahim showed the strenght of velaye, so he told that man that if you could come up the sun from the West. Since this is the power and strenght of velaye only. So, Thus was the disbeliever abashed"فبهت" ......... How shall Allah give this township life after its death?(259) قالَ أَنَّىٰ یُحۡىِۦ هَـٰذِهِ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا‌ۖ (259) A question: How does God give life after its death? Answer: Through Velaye Giving life to the bodies and hearts and killing the bodies and the worldly desires is through velaye And when Abraham said (unto his Lord): My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: Dost thou not believe? Abraham said: Yea, but (I ask) in order that my heart may be at ease. (His Lord) said: Take four of the birds and cause them to incline unto thee, then place a part of them on each hill, then call them, they will come to thee in haste, and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise. (260) وإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِى ڪَیۡفَ تُحۡىِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ‌ۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِن‌ۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَـٰکِن لِّیَطۡمَٮِٕنَّ قَلۡبِى‌ۖ قَالَ فَخُذۡ أَرۡبَعَةً۬ مِّنَ ٱلطَّیۡرِ فَصُرۡهُنَّ إِلَیۡکَ ثُمَّ ٱجۡعَلۡ عَلَىٰ کُلِّ جَبَلٍ۬ مِّنۡہُنَّ جُزۡءً۬ا ثُمَّ ٱدۡعُهُنَّ یَأۡتِینَکَ سَعۡیً۬ا‌ۚ وَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِیزٌ حَکِیمٌ۬ (٢٦٠) The difference of the people(the ommat) with the Imam is that when the people want to understand how God give life to the death , God tells them to 'just look" "فانظر"(as in versue 259) even if the Imam of a lower status ask for it. But when Ebrahim, the higher lever of velaye and Imammate asks God about how He gives life to the death, God tells him" to call them" "ثم ادعهن" , then you see how you would give them life after their death through an order of velaye. Yes, if the Imam calls for anything they would do it. If Imam orders a thing to be , it would be. Even though they come to him in haste , because of velaye order."سعیا" All the creatures obey velaye's order and come to him by their own "یاتینک" God orders Ebrahim to call them (those birds), they obey. But the human beings since they were triked through Satan, they mostly don't obey velaye. Lord has a program for training the people, and that is why Ebrahim asked Lord to show him that power of him "وإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِى God asked him: Dost thou not believe? اولم تومن you know why? Since He wanted to present us his answer that: Yea, but (I ask) in order that my heart may be at ease.قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَـٰکِن لِّیَطۡمَٮِٕنَّ قَلۡبِى‌ۖ Imam doesn't have any mistake but probably some times his heart shakes alittle so he wants to ease it anyhow. Imam could gather and set all the issues and difficulties which mixes throughout our life, and it would be shown to us through this part of this versue: cause them to incline unto thee فصرهن الیک This story of Ebrahim refers us to Imam Mahdi's Arrival, too. Since, at his Arrival , all his real followers would be called to him, and all of the believers and those who obey velaye would be gathered under his flag and all their differences would be solved and inclined . یاتی الله بکم جمیعا(بقره) And we could understand that all of his real followers from 4 directions of the world(north, south, west, and east) and from those 4 nations at those 4 directions would fly like birds and obey Imam Mahdi(AJ) as he calls them for his Arrival inshallah. Even though this versue refers us to the Last Day, too, While God gives life to the death through velaye. And as the end of this versue, we should know that all these are to show God's strenght and wisdom: and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise. (260)وَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِیزٌ حَکِیمٌ۬ Eltemase Doa, اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج ************************************ Salam Alikum Tadabor of the next chosen versue of Baghare Surreh: The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. (261) مثَلُ ٱلَّذِینَ یُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٲلَهُمۡ فِى سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ کَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتۡ سَبۡعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى کُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍ۬ مِّاْئَةُ حَبَّةٍ۬‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ یُضَـٰعِفُ لِمَن یَشَآءُ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٲسِعٌ عَلِیمٌ (٢٦١) Wealth is in two parts: One is material wealth and the other is spiritual wealth. Both of them are from the bounty, the Barakat of Velaye and Imammate. We should spend our wealth in Allah's (فی سبیل الله) which is the path of velaye. And also we should have an aim for it. We should aim on preparing the the steps for Imam Mahdi's (AJ) Arrival. An example for the person who spend his wealth for velaye is like a grain which groweth severn ears, in every ear a hundred grains. It means that if we spend our material and spiritual wealth(such as our knowledge or our love ) at the path of velaye with that holy aim , then Allah would increase manifold so as He would give us material and spiritual favours up to 100 times more So, if we believe in velaye we will have the opportunity to obey velaye, too. Since, He is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. Eltemas Doa اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج **************** Salam Alikum Let's continue Tadabor in some chosen versues of Baghare Surreh: Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and afterward make not reproach and injury to follow that which they have spent; their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve. (262) ٱلَّذِینَ یُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٲلَهُمۡ فِى سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا یُتۡبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُواْ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذً۬ى‌ۙ لَّهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ یَحۡزَنُونَ (٢٦٢) Spending wealth for the cause of Allah is being done in two ways: through the material wealth( and the spiritual wealth (which all of them has been granted to us by Allah) . But those who for spend their wealth and afterward make reproach and injury to follow that which they have spent, they do it by reproaching to the people and to Allah, too, by their heart, their tongue and their actions (deeds) The point is that all wealth belongs to Allah, but he ordered us to spend the wealth which has been granted to us to that we could be given some rewards for that The reproach afterward the spending of wealth is being taken by our heart and if we take care of our heart away from it, Allah would help our heart so that there shall no fear come upon us, neither shall we grieve. If we believe and obey the Imammate and velaye we shouldn't reproach afterward the spending of our material and spiritual wealth A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement. (263) قوۡلٌ۬ مَّعۡرُوفٌ۬ وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ خَیۡرٌ۬ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ۬ یَتۡبَعُهَآ أَذً۬ى‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِیمٌ۬ (٢٦٣) These two are the signs of believing and obeying velaye: A kind word with forgiveness These are the signs of sincereity and they are both necessary and couldn't be seperated from each other. They are been accepted from Allah much more that the almsgiving followed by injury. And only the people who believe and obey velaye could do both of them: to spend these wealths (a kind word with forgiveness) . A kind word is a material wealth and forgiveness is a spiritual wealth And if we don't have that sincereity under the shadow of velaye then it would be done followed by injury. Imam Sajad(A.S.) at the Doa Makaremal Akhlagh(دعای مکارم الاخلاق)" Doa of the best moral" has said to Allah to help him to even forgive the ones who have injured him. Eltemase Doa اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج ********************************* Salam Alikum I am sorry I forgot to put Tadabor of versue 264 before 265 of Baghare Surreh so , I put now inshallah Let's contindue Tadabor of some chosen versues of Baghareh Surreh : O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury, like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it, leaving it smooth and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk. (264) یـٰٓأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَـٰتِکُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ کَٱلَّذِى یُنفِقُ مَالَهُ ۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۖ فَمَثَلُهُ ۥ کَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَیۡهِ تُرَابٌ۬ فَأَصَابَهُ ۥ وَابِلٌ۬ فَتَرَڪَهُ ۥ صَلۡدً۬ا‌ۖ لَّا یَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬ مِّمَّا ڪَسَبُواْ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا یَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡکَـٰفِرِینَ (٢٦٤) The story is about a gainment. And it is a bad gain. We can spend our material and spiritual wealth. But some do it by reproach and injury. All the evil has a result in this world even if it is done as a good apparently. The only way to get released from the evil is to obey velaye. And the best and the secure way to reach Allah's pleasure is to concentrate the orbit of our life at the point of velaye since it is explained in Surreh Raed: "کلمه طیبه کشجره ثابت و فرعها فی السماء(سوره رعد Our life orbit should be concentrated at the tree of velaye and then it turns through the sky of it (then we obey velaye at its great spiritual sky) Like in a clock: its two hands are concentrated at its center and then they turn around its minutes and hours. We should pass the minutes and hours, too, by concentrating the orbit of our life at the center of velaye Ladies should concentrate the orbit of their life at the point of velaye of Hazrat Fateme(A.S.) and men should conentrate it at the point of velaye of Imam Ali(A.S.) The ones who spend their wealth by reproach and injury or only to be seen of men , they are like a rock that they couldn't gain anything for themselves since it would be lost by a rain. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. It's impossible to realize Satan's steps but if our life orbit be concentrated at the point of velaye we could be secure from Satan. Then Satan and his tricks would fall on their knees in front of velaye . If we truely love and obey velaye, then we could become one of Velaye supporters and Imam Mahdi(AJ)'s velaye would finally govern over us , inshallah. Eltemase Doa اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج ******************** Salam Alikum Let's contindue Tadabor of some chosen versues of Baghareh Surreh : And the likeness of those who spend their wealth in search of Allah's pleasure, and for the strengthening of their souls, is as the likeness of a garden on a height. The rainstorm smiteth it and it bringeth forth its fruit twofold. And if the rainstorm smite it not, then the shower. Allah is Seer of what ye do. (265) ومَثَلُ ٱلَّذِینَ یُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٲلَهُمُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ وَتَثۡبِیتً۬ا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ کَمَثَلِ جَنَّةِۭ بِرَبۡوَةٍ أَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ۬ فَـَٔاتَتۡ أُڪُلَهَا ضِعۡفَیۡنِ فَإِن لَّمۡ یُصِبۡہَا وَابِلٌ۬ فَطَلٌّ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِیرٌ (٢٦٥) They are themselves like a garden(a heaven) not their actions. Since, they spend their wealth for two reasons: 1- in search of Allah's pleasure and 2- for the strengthening of their souls. And that is why Allah bringeth forth its fruit twofold and sometimes He grants his opportunities to them like a smite rainstorm or like the shower rainstorm It is Azan of Maghreb at Tehran now, so we will continue our Tadabor after its prayer inshallah. They would sometimes receive Allah's opportunities so smitely through His name which is Merciful (رحیمیت) and sometimes so showerly through His name which is Compassionate(رحمانیت) Since they don't search for anything other than Allah's pleasure and the strengthening of their souls. And all these opportunities would be granted to them through Velaye and Imammate.(Not by just claiming to believe in velaye but also by obeying it). They had only two aims in spending their material and spiritual wealth: 1- in search of Allah's pleasure and 2- for the strengthening of their souls. While a man believes and obey velaye he would himself be like a garden(a heaven) but when he obeys Satan he would be like a rock(as it is said in versur: 264) It means he loses all the opportunities. Because all the happenings at this world have reflects at this world, too. If we want to strenthen our souls, we need to realize our Nafs. And that garden and heaven is truely inside a man and in realizing our Nafs. We should tear off all the dark and light obstacles to realize our Nafs. And the peak point of our flight to Allah is by our prayers. (الصلوه معراج مومن) Conclusion: We should obey velaye, meaning to search Allah's pleasure and to strenghten our souls throughout our life. And we wouldn't acheive that opportunity except true the real love of Velaye. But if we have love of our worldly life, too, that would be impossible(حب الدنیا راس کل خطیئه). Since that love wouldn't be added with this love. As it is given as an example in 264 that the ones who have love of this worldly life in their heart, they spend their wealth by reproach and injury. And that is the reason that Allah has told them : Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury. Eltemase Doa اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج
