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. 1

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.
