IN THE NAME OF GOD
Congratulations to all the Shiite of
the World on the occasion of birthday of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.) Lord of
the Virtuous
It was Friday, 13th day of
month: Rajab, 30th year of Amolfil, when Fatemeh daughter
of Asad Ibn Hashem ibn Abd Manaf stood against Kaaba, God's Home, when
she was suffering from pain and was giving birth to her child. She
began to pray. Suddenly, wall of Kaaba was broken and Fatemeh entered
and again, by the power of Almighty God, the wall pieces joined. Four
days later, when Fatemeh was embracing her infant and was honored of
so much glory and respect, she exited the same way she had entered.
The child is the only child of Kaaba,
since the beginning to the end of creation. He is executor of the
final prophet; i.e. Ali ibn Abitaleb (p.b.u.h.) who is the master of
executors of all the prophets from Adam to Mohammad.
Here, we seize the opportunity to
narrate some valuable prescriptions of Lord of the Virtuous, Imam Ali
(p.b.u.h.).
In verse: 32 of Nahjolbalagheh,
lectured in 37th year of Hijri in mosque of Koofa, Hazrat
Ali (p.b.u.h.) introduced the people after the era of prophet (p.b.u.h.)
like this:
"Nowadays,
the people are in four groups:
1st Group:
If they are not corrupted that's
because their souls are incapable and their swords are dull and they
profit from no financial possibilities."
This group sit down calmly; because they have no field to manifest
themselves. They feel incapable, and do not move like the snakes which
crawl into their cold net having no sense.
The second group
are those who have taken swords and
have shown their evil and corruption, have gathered their armies afoot
or mounted and are ready to kill others. They have corrupted religion
to obtain properties in the world, to be either heads or commanders of
a group or to take pulpit to speech. It is a bad commerce to consider
the world as the price of your soul and to exchange it with what is
held by God. For them, wisdom
and conscience are replaced with the lights of the swords and charity
with evil. Such rascals are bound to stop other people's breath, for
the sake of their own breathing.
The Third group:
those who ask for the world by
pretending to act for afterlife and do not seek spiritual ranks of
afterlife by their acts in this world. They pretend that they are
humble and take short Hippocratic steps. They present themselves as
the real faithful men and use divine cover as the means of hypocrisy
and masquerade. This group well
know which valuable truths they present to others, but they seek
nothing but the baseless titles of the world.
The
Fourth Group:
by degradation, abjection, lack of
facilities, they are deprived of power, so they dispose themselves by
jewel of content and wear the dressing of piety. This group have never
been true and honest pious men, in none of the moments at night or in
the day. In fact they are
incapable men who have taken a corner due to feeling inferior. They
have nothing to show off, except to present themselves as pious men.
So if a ground is opened to them, they will change to tyrant mighty
men. Thus, to prove" there I am" they pretend that they are right and
wear the dresses of piety, a dress which always attract others.
In
this respect, a very little men remain, whose eyes have been closed to
everything because they recall afterlife and whose eyes are filled
with tears, being fearful of resurrection.

It has been narrated from Jesus son of
virgin Mary: "thou bad men of thought! You pray, you fast, but
you do not confirm and you do not fulfill, what you ask the people
for. you teach, you guide, what you do not perform yourselves.
So, how bad is the decree which you determine. Your penance is through
dialogue and wish, your deed is desire and fancy,…. Thou! The
creatures of the world! How might one reach afterlife, when his wishes
in the world have not been fulfilled and his desire of the world has
not been finished?!.... it seams that, you order the people to put
down the world for you to take. What is the benefit of a lamp hanged
over a house, when inside is dark? What is the benefit of having the
light of science inside your mouth, when your inners are empty and
dark. The creatures of the world! It is near that the world will
uproot you and make you fall on the earth, when your sins will
entangle you, submitting you to a punishing, lonely, and bald king,
placing you in a situation of discredit and infamy, revealing to you
the effect of your bad acts.
Do not man know that God shall sea?
1. Since, they are very little, Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.)
has not considered them in a special group, under his four
classifications.
