سُوۡرَةُ التّوبَة
بَرَآءَةٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۤ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ (١) فَسِيحُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَرۡبَعَةَ أَشۡهرٍ۬ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِى ٱللَّهِۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡزِى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ (٢) وَأَذَانٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۤ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَجِّ ٱلۡأَکۡبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِىٓءٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَۙ وَرَسُولُهُ ۥۚ فَإِن تُبۡتُمۡ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٌ۬ لَّکمۡۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِى ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ (٣)
(This is a declaration of) disassociation (immunity), from Allah and His Rasool toward those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists. (1) So travel freely in the land for four months, and know that you cannot subdue Allah and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers. (2) And Azaan (proclamation) is from Allah and His Rasool to the people on the day of the Great Pilgrimage that Allah is immune to polytheists, and His Rasool (as well). So, if you repent, then that is better for you; but if you turn away, then know that you cannot subdue Allah. Give tidings of a painful punishment to those who disbelieve, (3)
1-The initial verses of Sura Tauba were revealed in 9 Hijri after Rasool Allah sawaw returned from battle of Tabook. Rasool Allah sawaw gave those verses to a companion and ordered him to go to Makkah and announce by reciting to people on the day of slaughtering in Mina. When that companion left, Jibraeel (a.s.) came to Rasool Allah sawaw and said: Ya Mohammad sawaw, no one can execute this task except that man who is from you. So Rasool Allah sawaw sent Amirul Momineen asws behind that companion, so he met him at the place of Roha and took away verses from him. That companion came back to Rasool Allah sawaw and asked: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw, did Allah reveal something about me? Said: No, but Allah has commanded me that no one can execute any task from Allah except me or a man who is from me.
On the day of Great Hajj (Hajj-e-Akbar) addressed after Zuhar on the day of slaughter: No doubt I am Messenger of Rasool Allah sawaw toward you, then recited these verses to the people, and said, after this year not any man or woman can do naked Tawaf of Baitullah, nor any polytheist man or woman. (Imam Jafar Sadiq asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p360)
2-About the saying of Allah, “And Azaan is from Allah and His Rasool to the people on the day of Hajj-e-Akbar” Imam Mohammad Baqir asws said: It means Zahoor of Qaim asws, and Azaan means his invitation to people toward himself. (al-Burhan, v3, p364)
3-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws was asked about the saying of Allah, “And Azaan is from Allah and His Rasool to the people on the day of Hajj-e-Akbar” and he said: No doubt, Allah has given name Azaan to Ali asws from heaven because he is that who executes task of immunity from Rasool Allah sawaw. Although first one companion was sent with the verses, then Jibraeel (a.s.) came down and said: Ya Mohammad sawaw, no doubt Allah is saying to you: No one can convey from you except you yourself or that man who is from you. At that moment, Rasool Allah sawaw sent Ali asws, and he reached the companion and took away scripture from his hand and went to Makkah. Thus Allah has given him name from Him, no doubt this name Allah revealed from heavens for Ali asws. (al-Burhan, v3, p365)
4-While returning from Neharwan, Imam Ali asws said in his sermon: And I am Mo’azzin in the world and Hereafter, Allah Azza wa Jalla says, “So Mo’azzin will give Azaan in between them that curse of Allah on unjust ones” (al-A’raf, v44) I am that Mo’azzin, and Allah says, “And Azaan is from Allah and His Rasool” so I am that Azaan. (al-Burhan, v3, p367)
Lesson:
1-When Allah wants to declare immunity to polytheists, covenant breakers, vulgar & immodest, and unjust, then He does not start verses with “Bismillah”, so Surah Tauba does not start with “Bismillah.” Similarly when Shias curse on those shameless who do Shirk in Walayat-e-Ali asws, break covenant of Walayat, do injustice to the right of Masumeen asws, then they start cursing without any introduction.
2-Translation, Tafseer, Taweel, and Tableegh of verses should be only done with Ahadees of Masumeen asws. Azaan and Salaah is the Proclamation and Renewal of Walayat-e-Ali asws. Curse is on the enemies of Walayat. The day of Qiyamah will start with the Azaan of Maola Ali asws in which he will curse on the opponents of his Walayat.
3-Azaan means invitation to Walayat of Masumeen asws and their obedience. The day of rising of Qaim asws will be Hajj-e-Akbar and Friday, when Imam asws will invite people toward himself. Masoom asws is real Salaah & Zikrullah, “When you are called for Salaah from Friday, then run toward Zikrullah”
وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيۡمَـٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ عَهۡدِهِمۡ وَطَعَنُواْ فِى دِينِکمۡ فَقَـٰتِلُوٓاْ أَٮِٕمَّةَ ٱلۡکفۡرِۙ إِنَّهُمۡ لَآ أَيۡمَـٰنَ لَهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَنتَهُونَ (١٢)
And if they break their oaths after their treaty and taunt (abuse) your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, indeed they have no (reliable) oaths, in order that they may cease. (12)
1-On the day of battle of Jamal, Imam Ali asws recited this verse and said after swearing by Allah: No one has fought with the people who are addressed in this verse since its revelation until today (it will be acted upon) (al-Burhan, v3, p375)
2-After Jamal, Maola Ali asws went on pulpit and delivered a sermon, after praise & glory of Allah and Salawat-e-Salam on Rasool Allah sawaw he said: O people, by Allah, I did not fight with those people yesterday but on the basis of one verse in the Book of Allah, which was left (not acted upon). No doubt Allah says, “And if they break their oaths after their treaty and taunt your religion, then fight against the Imams of Kufr, indeed they have no (reliable) oaths, in order that they may desist” And by Allah, Rasool Allah sawaw ordered me and said to me: Ya Ali asws! You will definitely fight against the group of rebellions and group of Nakiseen (who break covenant) and group of Mariqeen (who consider Walayat trivial/light). (al-Burhan, v3, p376)
Lesson:
1-This verse was revealed about those people who first paid allegiance to Maola Ali asws willingly themselves, then they broke allegiance and joined the group of opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws, because they were in greed of government for themselves.
Similar is the case of Muqassir Mulla, first he shows himself Shia of Maola Ali asws, then he learns some so-called knowledge and becomes one-eyed king among the blind in greed of power & wealth, and declares his own Walayat-e-Faqeh. Such are the people who are Rebellions of Walayat-e-Ali asws, break the covenant of Walayat with Allah (Nakiseen), then they make Walayat a common thing (Raqeeq) and divide it (Qasiteen) and distribute among themselves, so all Muqassir Mullas become Guardians (Wali) of blind Muqallideen. Then they taunt Momineen: We Usulis are pious, follow ilmul-usul, clever in sorting out Ayaat & Ahadees with our logical reasoning. You Shias are old fashioned, only believing in fourteen Masumeen asws and get guidance from only Quran & Hadees.
2-It is Sunnah of Imams asws to prove the right of Masumeen asws with proof & reason to those who break the covenant of Walayat-e-Ali asws. The leader and Rahber of opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws is Imam of Kufr. Shias must not rely on the apparent get-up, sweet words, and oaths of such Imams of Kufr, who issue Fatawa against Walayat and Azadari.
أَجَعَلۡتُمۡ سِقَايَةَ ٱلۡحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ كَمَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ وَجَـٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ لَا يَسۡتَوُ ۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (١٩) ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَالِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهمۡ أَعۡظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآٮِٕزُونَ (٢٠) يُبَشِّرُهُمۡ رَبُّهُم بِرَحۡمَةٍ۬ مِّنۡهُ وَرِضۡوَانٍ۬ وَجَنَّـٰتٍ۬ لَّهُمۡ فِيها نَعِيمٌ۬ مُّقِيمٌ (٢١) خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهآ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُ ۥۤ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ۬ (٢٢)
Have you made the providing of water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of Masjid al-Haraam equal to him who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and strives in the way of Allah? They are not equal near Allah. And Allah does not guide wrongdoing nation. (19) Those who believe, and migrated and strove in the path of Allah with their wealth and their lives, have greater rank near Allah. These are they who are achievers. (20) Their Rabb gives them good tidings of mercy from Him, and (His) pleasure, and Paradise for them wherein is everlasting favour. (21) There they will abide eternally. No doubt, Allah has great reward with Him. (22)
1-These verses were revealed about Imam Ali asws, and Hamza and Abbas and Shaiba. Abbas (a.s.) said: I am superior because I give water (to quench thirst) to pilgrims myself. And Shaiba said: I am superior because I am guard of Baitullah. And Hamza (a.s.) said: I am superior because I look after Masjid al-Haraam with my hands. And Maola Ali asws said: I am superior because I believed first than all of you, then migrated and did Jihad. Thus they agreed to go to Rasool Allah sawaw for judgement, and Allah revealed these verses. (Imam Mohammad Baqir asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p382)
Lesson:
1-There is no equal of children of Abu Talib asws near Allah. Survival of every thing – Hajj, Salaah, Tawaf, Ka’ba, Zam Zam, Masajid, Muslims, Islam, knowledge of Tauheed - is due to Maola Ali asws. Muqassir Mulla must not think that he is taking care of Islam and he is maintenance contractor of Islam, so he can interfere with Shariah. The saviours of Islam are only infallible sons and infallible daughters of Maola Ali asws.
2-Those who believe in Walayat-e-Ali asws, and migrate permanently from Taghoot (Walayat-e-Faqeh) to Walayat-e-Ali asws, and do Jihad by preaching Walayat in the Sabeel of Allah with their wealth and lives, those are successful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّها ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَكُمۡ وَإِخۡوَانَكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡکفۡرَ عَلَى ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنِۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمۡ فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (٢٣) قُلۡ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡ وَأَبۡنَآؤُکمۡ وَإِخۡوَانُكُمۡ وَأَزۡوَاجُكُمۡ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمۡ وَأَمۡوَالٌ ٱقۡتَرَفۡتُمُوهَا وَتِجَـٰرَةٌ۬ تَخۡشَوۡنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَـٰكِنُ تَرۡضَوۡنَهَآ أَحَبَّ إِلَيۡکم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَجِهَادٍ۬ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقِينَ (٢٤)
O you who believe! Do not choose your fathers or your brothers as guardians if they love Kufr (disbelief) rather than Emaan (faith). And whoever among you takes them as guardian, then it is those who are wrong-doers. (23) Say: If your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your wives, and your relatives, and the wealth you have acquired, and the business for which you fear its decline, and residences which you like are dearer to you than Allah and His Rasool and striving in His way: then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient nation. (24)
1-Imam Mohammad Baqir asws was asked about these verses and he said: The real meaning of Kufr is Walayat of opponents of Ali asws, and that is Kufr. And saying of Allah “Emaan” means Walayat of Ali ibne Abi Talib asws. (al-Burhan, v3, p385)
Lesson:
1-To take opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws as Wali (guardian) is injustice, disobedience and corruption. E.g. if Muqassir Mulla says that “Ali un Waliullah” is not a part of Kalima, but on the other hand if at the end of Kalima that Muqassir Mulla’s name is written with addition “Hujjatullah-e-Alal-Khalq” and Darood is read loud when his name is mentioned then he does not mind at all. Such are the unjust people whom Allah has given respite until Zahoor of Qaim asws, they must wait for Zulfiqaar, because such defiantly disobedient deniers of Walayat are not worthy of guidance.
2-Father, grandfather, brother, sister, son, wife, relatives, the criterion of all these relationships should be Walayat-e-Ali asws. And moreover, we should not be afraid that Muqassireen can cause damage to my service, my business, my wealth, and my nice residence due to Walayat-e-Ali asws. Allah wishes that Momineen should do Jihad in the Sabeel (Walayat-e-Ali asws) for the sake of Allah and Rasool sawaw, and Momineen must not love their Muqassir relatives who are opponents of Walayat & Azadari, and turn away from them. Keep connection and relation with Imam-e-Zamana asws continuously.
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابً۬ا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَـٰهً۬ا وَاحِدً۬اۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُ ۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِکونَ (٣١)
They have taken as Rabbs beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Masiha son of Mariyam. And they were not commanded to worship except one God. There is no God except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. (31)
1-It was asked about this verse, then Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: By Allah, they did not invite people to worship their souls, if they would have invited to worship them (rabbi & monk) then people would not have accepted. But they used to make Haraam as Halaal for them, and used to declare Halaal as Haraam on them, so in this way they used to worship them without realization. (al-Burhan, v3, p405)
Lesson:
1-Saying of Masoom asws is always Haqq, this Ummah will follow the previous Ummahs exactly step by step. Previous Ummahs left the books sent down by Allah, and started doing blind Taqleed of their scholars, accepted every Fatwa of them as word of God, their scholars became authority to interchange Halaal & Haraam, and they made Eesa Roohullah their God, their scholars devised books for them in which name of Mohammad-o-Aal-e-Mohammad asws was not mentioned. Any scholar who interferes with Deen, to listen to him is equal to his worship, and that is Shirk.
This Ummah did the same, they have left Quran & Sunnah, and adopted books devised by scholars comprising of their personal Zunni Fatawa. They have left Walayat of Masumeen asws and turned away from it and raised the slogan of Walayat-e-Faqeh. They say without hesitation that Faqeh has the authority over Halaal and Haraam. Allah is immune to such Mushrikeen-e-Walayat.
2-Halaal-e-Mohammadi is Halaal until Qiyamah, and Haraam-e-Mohammadi is Haraam until Qiyamah. No one has power & capacity to change them.
إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَهۡرً۬ا فِى کتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَاتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۡهآ أَرۡبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ۬ۚ ذَالِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمُۚ فَلَا تَظۡلِمُواْ فِيهنَّ أَنفُسَکمۡۚ وَقَـٰتِلُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِکينَ كَآفَّةً۬ کمَا يُقَـٰتِلُونَكُمۡ کآفَّةً۬ۚ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ (٣٦)
No doubt, the number of the months with Allah is twelve months in the Book of Allah since the day He created the heavens and the earth, four of them are sacred: that is the established Deen. So do not wrong yourselves in them. And fight against the polytheists collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous (who fear Him). (36)
1-Imam Mohammad Baqir asws told Taweel of this verse: Year (San) means our holy grand-father Rasool Allah sawaw, and it has twelve months, and they are Amirul Momineen asws, and then Hassan asws, and the Hussain asws, and then my father Ali Zainul Abideen asws, and then I am, and then my son Jafar asws, and his son Musa asws, and his son Ali asws, and his son Mohammad asws and his son Ali asws, and his son Hassan asws, and then his son Mohammad Hadi Mahdi asws, twelve Imams, Hujjatullah on the creation of Allah, and trustees of Revalation & Knowledge of Allah, and four are Sacred who are Established Deen, and four of them have emerged from the same one Name: Ali Amirul Momineen asws, and my father Ali bin Hussain asws, and Ali bin Musa asws, and Ali bin Mohammad asws, so their Testimony is the Established Deen, so do not do injustice to yourself concerning them, and all get guidance from them. (al-Burhan, v3, p412)
Lesson:
1-From before the creation of the universe, only these twelve Imams asws are Hadi from Allah Ta’ala, only they are Hujjatullah-alull-Khalq. Allah is All-Knower, He knows the best, how many Imams asws are necessary until Qiyamah. So institution has the right to start manufacturing Imams, Hujjatulllahs, Ayatollahs, and Wali-al-Amr.
2-Among the twelve Imams asws, the holy name of four is derived from the Name of Allah, and the rest of Imams asws declare them Sacred, and this is the saying of Allah as well. And testification of these Four Ali’s is the straight established Deen of Allah. The father of all pure Imams asws is Maola Ali asws, Muqassireen do injustice to themselves by opposing Walayat-e-Ali asws.
قُلۡ أَنفِقُواْ طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهً۬ا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمۡۖ إِنَّكُمۡ کنتُمۡ قَوۡمً۬ا فَـٰسِقِينَ (٥٣) وَمَا مَنَعَهُمۡ أَن تُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهمۡ نَفَقَـٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمۡ کفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأۡتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ کسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كَـٰرِهُونَ (٥٤) فَلَا تُعۡجِبۡكَ أَمۡوَالُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَـٰدُهُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهم بِها فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَتَزۡهَقَ أَنفُسُهمۡ وَهُمۡ كَـٰفِرُونَ (٥٥)
Say: Spend willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, indeed you have been a defiantly disobedient nation. (53) And nothing prevents that their expenditures should be accepted from them except that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His Rasool, and they come not for Salaah except while they are lazy, and they do not spend except while they are unwilling. (54) So let not their wealth nor their children impress you. Allah only intends to punish them through them in the life of the world and that their souls should depart while they are disbelievers. (55)
1-Who loves us, will be with us on the day of Qiyamah. Then said: By Allah, if a person keeps fast during the day, stands in Ibadat at night, then meets Allah Azza wa Jalla without Walayat of us the Ahlul Bait asws, the He will be Angry in that meeting and will be Wroth on him, and this is the saying of Allah (recited verses 53 to 55), then said: Similarly with Emaan nothing harms, and similarly no (good) deed benefits with Kufr. (Imam Jafar Sadiq asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p433)
Lesson:
1-Without Walayat-e-Masumeen asws, money spent in the way of Deen, Namaz, Roza, Tahajjud, Hajj, etc, are not acceptable at all. Allah Ta’ala declares Fasiq (defiantly disobedient) to those people who oppose Walayat-e-Ali asws. And He is warning Momineen, do not be impressed by the power, government, majority, and wealth snatched from the poor in the name of Deen, of that nation who denies to recite testimony of Walayat-e-Ali asws. They will die while Wrath of Allah will be surrounding them. Who loves Maola asws and listens to Maola asws, he will be with his Maola asws on the day of Qiyamah. And who listens to Muqassir Mulla he will go with him wherever Mulla will go.
2-Walayat-e-Ali asws is Emaan, nothing can harm with it. Denial and opposition of Walayat-e-Ali asws is Kufr & Shirk, then even good deeds can not benefit with it.
يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُورَةٌ۬ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهمۡۚ قُلِ ٱسۡتَهۡزِءُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡرِجٌ۬ مَّا تَحۡذَرُونَ (٦٤) وَلَٮِٕن سَأَلۡتَهُمۡ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا کنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلۡعَبُۚ قُلۡ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ (٦٥) لَا تَعۡتَذِرُواْ قَدۡ كَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَـٰنِكُمۡۚ إِن نَّعۡفُ عَن طَآٮِٕفَةٍ۬ مِّنكُمۡ نُعَذِّبۡ طَآٮِٕفَةَۢ بِأَنَّهمۡ کانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ (٦٦)
The hypocrites fear lest a surah be revealed about them, informing them what is in their hearts. Say: Mock you (more)! Indeed Allah is disclosing what you fear. (64) And if you ask them, they will surely say: We were only conversing and playing. Say: Were you mocking with Allah and His Ayaat and His Rasool? (65) Make no excuse, certainly you have disbelieved after your (confession of) belief. If We forgive a group of you, We will punish the other group because they were criminals. (66)
1-Defiantly disobedient & corrupt people made a plot to martyr Rasool Allah sawaw during the night of Uqbah, and the other hypocrite men made a plot to martyr Imam Ali asws in Madina, but Allah did not let them succeed. Jealousy to Rasool Allah sawaw was occupying them due to Imam Ali asws, when he (sawaw) announced the splendour of his (asws) Amr (Walayat), his high rank and status.
When Rasool Allah sawaw left Madina for Tabook, Jibraeel (a.s.) came down and said: Ya Mohammad sawaw! Ali al-A’la is saying Salam to you and is saying to you: If you go then Ali asws should remain behind, and if you remain then let Ali asws go. After Rasool Allah sawaw left, hypocrites taunted Ali asws: Rasool Allah sawaw is unhappy with you, does not want you to keep with. Imam Ali asws reached Rasool Allah sawaw, and told him, then he (sawaw) said: Are you not happy that you are on the same status to me, as Haroon (a.s.) was to Musa (a.s.), but there is no Nabi after me. Maola Ali asws returned to Madina. Hypocrites made a plot to martyr Imam Ali asws, and dug a 50 hands (about 75 feet) long ditch in his way, covered it with a mat and put earth on it that mat was concealed. Their intention was that Imam asws and his conveyance would fall in it and then they will martyr him by hitting with stones. When Imam Ali asws reached the ditch, horse stopped and said to Maola Ali asws: Here is a ditch and made a plot to aim at you, but you know all. Imam asws made Dua for good reward for the horse and ordered him to walk over it, and it became hard like earth, and Imam asws crossed it with his companions. After crossing, he (asws) ordered his companions, they opened and ditch was exposed, companions were astonished to see it. Maola Ali asws commanded his horse: You can tell them how it is, and who did it? Horse narrated (all) and told the names of fourteen people as well who were with Rasool Allah sawaw to martyr him in Uqbah. Companions said: We should inform Rasool Allah sawaw soon about the conspiracy against him. Maola Ali asws said: Allah Ta’ala has informed him (as well). After reaching Uqbah, Rasool Allah sawaw gathered people and informed them about plot against Imam Ali asws, the hypocrites became afraid lest they would be exposed, so they came to congratulate Rasool Allah sawaw about the safety of Imam Ali asws. And asked: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw, Ali asws is superior or courtier Angels (a.s.)? Rasool Allah sawaw explained them in detail that Angels (a.s.) get honour and ranks due to love of Mohammad sawaw and Ali asws, and by accepting their Walayat, and there is not even a single lover of Ali asws who is not made more pure and superior to Angels (a.s.) by cleaning his heart from deceit, dirt of malice & jealousy, and filth of sins, and Allah commanded the Angels (a.s.) to do Sajdah to Adam (a.s.) only that time when He place their (asws) Noor in him. And narrated complete story of Adam (a.s.) and Angels (a.s.)
Then commanded the army to move and told that no one should go up to Uqbah (Pass) before Rasool Allah sawaw, ordered Huzaifa (a.s.) to sit at the bottom of up-hill path. Those hypocrites climbed the Pass, some on right and left and some on hill-top, so that when conveyance of Rasool Allah sawaw will pass, then stones will be rolled down. Hypocrites were wearing veils. Huzaifa (a.s.) came and told Rasool Allah sawaw about all of them.
Then Rasool Allah sawaw moved, Huzaifa (a.s.) and Salman (a.s.) were walking in front and behind the she-camel and Ammar (a.s.) on one side. On reaching the Pass, Rasool Allah sawaw commanded Ammar (a.s.), and he made the conveyances of hypocrites run away by hitting their faces with the staff, and injured them severely. In this way, Allah failed their both plots. (Imam Hassan Askari asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p451)
Lesson:
1-The enemies of Walayat can not hear Faza’il of Maola Ali asws nor tolerate his Walayat, and they are against Rasool Allah sawaw because he preached whole life Walayat-e-Ali asws, therefore Muqassireen avoid Ahadees-e-Rasool sawaw. Muqassir progeny of those Munafiqeen martyres Maola Ali asws with their tongues, and denies the testimony of Walayat like Iblees, but in front of public say in hypocritical way, “we also believe in Walayat”
يَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ مَا قَالُواْ وَلَقَدۡ قَالُواْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلۡكُفۡرِ وَکفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ إِسۡلَـٰمِهِمۡ وَهَمُّواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَنَالُواْۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوٓاْ إِلَّآ أَنۡ أَغۡنَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ۥ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ فَإِن يَتُوبُواْ يَكُ خَيۡرً۬ا لَّهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوۡاْ يُعَذِّبۡهمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمً۬ا فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِۚ وَمَا لَهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن وَلِىٍّ۬ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ۬ (٧٤)
They swear by Allah that they did not say (anything wrong), but they did say the word of disbelief, and disbelieved after their (pretense of) Islam. And they strived for what they could not attain, and they did not revenge except that Allah and His Rasool had enriched them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will give them a painful punishment in the world and the Hereafter, and there will not be for them on earth any Wali (guardian) or Naseer (helper). (74)
1-On the place of Ghadeer-e-Khum, Rasool Allah sawaw ordered to make a pulpit with litters (Kajawa, cabins) after cleaning the place in severe heat. Then after putting a cloth on it, stood on it and delivered a lengthy sermon and proclaimed Walayat of Imam Ali asws. After that people went back to their places. Huzaifa bin Yaman (a.s.) heard three men in a tent severely insulting Rasool Allah sawaw that why he made Ali asws as Wali, they will not let it happen. Then Huzaifa (a.s.) told them: I will tell Rasool Allah sawaw and Allah will also tell. They said: Do what you like, we will deny that we did not say it and you are allegating us and you are telling a lie that you are truthful and we are liars, and we are three. Huzaifa (a.s.) went and told Rasool Allah sawaw, then Rasool Allah sawaw called them and aksed, then they answered: By Allah, we did not say anything, whatever has been told to you, it is lie about us. Jibraeel (a.s.) came down with these verses at that time. (Tafseer Ayashi) (al-Burhan, v3, p462)
Lesson:
1-There are more similar Ahadees and narrations about hypocrites that after the announcement of Ghadeer-e-Khum people went into their tents, then Miqdad (a.s.) heard some people saying: By Allah, if we would have been companions of Qaiser & Kisra, we would have been wearing robes of silk & brocade and embroidered printed, but we are trapped in those who eat hard food, and wear thick clothes, and when death has approached, days are finished and time has come, then decided firmly to appoint Ali asws as Wali after himself. Miqdad (a.s.) told Rasool Allah sawaw, but they denied by taking oaths.
Similarly Abu Zarr (a.s.) heard that some were saying: Would that, he would have made something else Wali instead of Ali asws. They also denied by taking oaths. Then Rasool Allah sawaw said: Neither sky shaded nor earth carried anyone more truthful than Abu Zarr (a.s.).
Those hypocrites made a plot to revenge Walayat-e-Ali asws by martyring Rasool Allah sawaw in Uqbah and Imam Ali asws in Madina. Though these people were very poor, and became rich by accumulating war booties with conquests of Maola Ali asws.
Similar people has entered Shia nation in disguise and they are opposing Walayat-e-Ali asws, and they suppose themselves Qaiser & Kisra by proclaiming their own Walayat, and such rich-beggers are accumulating wealth of weak-faith Shias. Maola Ali asws is neither their Wali & Naseer in this world nor in the Hereafter.
ٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ أَوۡ لَا تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ إِن تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ سَبۡعِينَ مَرَّةً۬ فَلَن يَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡۚ ذَالِكَ بِأَنَّهمۡ کفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقِينَ (٨٠)
Ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times Allah will not forgive them at all. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His Rasool, and Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people. (80)
1-This verse was revealed when Rasool Allah sawaw returned Madina, and Abdullah bin Obai (hypocrite) was ill, and his son Abdullah bin Abdullah who was Momin came to Rasool Allah sawaw, his father was moribund, he said: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw! My parents sacrificed for you, if you would not come to my father, then it will be dishonour for us. So Rasool Allah sawaw went to him, and hypocrites were sitting next to him, so his son Abdullah bin Abdullah said: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw! Make Dua for his forgiveness, so he did Dua for forgiveness. A person said: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw! Did Allah not forbid you that neither say (Janazah) prayer for them nor make Dua for their forgiveness? Rasool Allah sawaw avoided him, but he said the same again, then said to him: Destruction on you! I have been given the authority, so I am practicing my authority, no doubt Allah says, “Ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times Allah will not forgive them at all.”
Then when Abdullah bin Obai died, his son came to Rasool Allah sawaw and said: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw, my parents sacrificed on you, if you consider it appropriate, then come to his Janazah. So Rasool Allah sawaw went and stood on his grave, then again the same person said: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw! Did Allah not forbid you that who dies among them (hypocrites) then never say (Janazah) prayer for them or stand on their grave? Then Rasool Allah sawaw said: You may perish, do you know that what I said? I am saying this that Ya Allah, fill his grave with Fire, fill his abdomen with Fire, and send him to Hell. In this way that was exposed what Khulq-e-Azeem Rasool Allah sawaw did not wished. Then Rasool Allah sawaw said: Because his son is Momin man, and he has right on us, I have paid his right. Then that person said: I seek refuge in Allah from Wrath of Allah and your wrath, Ya Rasool Allah sawaw. (al-Burhan, v3, p468)
Lesson:
1- People doing Ijtihad in Deen were present at that time as well who used to deduce results with Ijtihad that what Rasool Allah sawaw should do and what should not do! Ijtihadi folk could not understand that Deen is only name of obedience of Masumeen asws.
2-If a Momin goes to visit a sick Muqassir or attends his Janazah ethically, then Muqassir does not get any reward for that. Who are neglecting Walayat-e-Ali asws by turning away from the order of Allah and His Rasool sawaw, even if they ask for forgiveness weepingly for seventy years while reading Dua-e-Kumail, they can not get any benefit. Allah does not guide Fasiq who disobey about Walayat-e-Ali asws.
وَقُلِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمۡ وَرَسُولُهُ ۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَۖ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ (١٠٥)
And say: Act! Then Allah sees your deeds, and His Rasool and Mominoon (believers), and you will be brought back to the Knower of the Ghaib (Unseen) and Shahadah (witnessed), then He will tell you what you used to do. (105)
1-Every morning good & bad deeds of all the servants are presented to Rasool Allah sawaw, so fear and be shy that one’s bad deeds are not presented to Nabi Akram sawaw. Whenever a Momin passes away or a disbeliever is placed in grave, his deeds are presented to Rasool Allah sawaw and Amirul Momineen Ali asws and similarly presented until to the Last (Qaim asws), whose obedience Allah has made obligatory, and this is the saying of Allah, “Say: Perform deeds, so Allah is looking your deeds, and His Rasool and Mominoon” and said that Mominoon means Imams asws. (Imam Jafar Sadiq asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p488)
2-Ali asws is Babul Huda (door of guidance), who went in front of him, became Kafir, and who is left behind him, he is also Kafir. When it will be the day of Qiyamah, a pulpit will be put on the right side of Arsh, it will have twenty four steps, Maola Ali asws will come with Lawai Hamd (Flag of Praise) in his hand, and will sit on it. And then creations will be presented to him, so whom he knows, will enter the Paradise, and whom he does not know, will throw him in Hell. It was asked: Is there any verse about it in the Quran? Said: Yes, Allah Tabarak wa Ta’ala says, “So Allah, His Rasool and Mominoon see your deeds”, by Allah, he is Ali ibne Abi Talib asws. (Imam Jafar Sadiq asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p488)
Lesson:
1-Allah says that Rasool Allah sawaw and infallible Imams asws are Hazir Nazir, whole universe is in their sight, watching deeds of every creature. But Muqassir Mulla denies to accept them omni-present, then Allah will inform them their evil deeds on the day of Qiyamah.
2-Who went far in front of Babul Huda and started saying Allah to Maola Ali asws, he became Kafir. And who is left behind that he considers Maola asws a human like himself, and left Walayat of Maola asws and pursued Walayat of Mulla, he also became Kafir and Mushrik.
3-Shian-e-Maola Ali asws avoid sins and bad deeds, because they know Masumeen asws are watching, and deeds are presented daily to them.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مَسۡجِدً۬ا ضِرَارً۬ا وَکفۡرً۬ا وَتَفۡرِيقَۢا بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَإِرۡصَادً۬ا لِّمَنۡ حَارَبَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ مِن قَبۡلُۚ وَلَيَحۡلِفُنَّ إِنۡ أَرَدۡنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَشۡهدُ إِنَّهمۡ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ (١٠٧) لَا تَقُمۡ فِيهِ أَبَدً۬اۚ لَّمَسۡجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنۡ أَوَّلِ يَوۡمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ۬ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُطَّهِّرِينَ (١٠٨) أَفَمَنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَـٰنَهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ تَقۡوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضۡوَانٍ خَيۡرٌ أَم مَّنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَـٰنَهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ۬ فَٱنۡهارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (١٠٩)
And those who made a mosque for causing harm and disbelief, and division among the believers, and as a station for those who battled against Allah and His Rasool before. And they will surely swear, “We intend nothing except good” Allah bears witness that certainly they are liars. (107) Never stand within it. The Masjid which was founded on piety from the first day is more worthy that you should stand in it, in it are men who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves the purifiers. (108) Then is he who laid the foundation his building upon piety to Allah and His pleasure better; or he who laid foundation of his building on the brink of a crumbling ditch, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing nation. (109)
1-Hypocrites built a mosque in Mohalla Bani Salim with the reason that sick in the rainy nights and very old can pray in it. And they requested Rasool Allah sawaw to come and pray Salaah in it. He said: Now I am going on journey but when I will come back, if Allah wills, then will come to pray in it. But when Rasool Allah sawaw came back from Tabook, these verses about Masjid-e-Zarrar and Abu Amir Rahib were revealed. But hypocrites swore in front of Rasool Allah sawaw that they built it for reform and welfare. Abu Amir Rahib had opposed Rasool Allah sawaw before, and fought battle as well. (Tafseer Qummi) (al-Burhan, v3, p497)
Lesson:
1-Hypocrites buit Masjid-e-Zarrar in competition with Masjid-e-Quba. Masjid-e-Quba is on that place outside Madina where Rasool Allah sawaw waited for Imam Ali asws after migration, and did not enter Madina until Maola Ali asws came. Therefore the foundation of this Masjid is on piety and pleasure of Allah. And the builders of Masjid-e-Zarrar are those hypocrites who plotted a plot to martyr Rasool Allah sawaw and Maola Ali asws due to grudge of Walayat-e-Ali asws, and tried hard to divide Momineen, i.e. opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws only create disunity & corruption. Rasool Allah sawaw commanded to burn & demolish that mosque built on the basis of opposition of Walayat-e-Ali asws, and honourable companions (r.a.) executed the job.
2-Mosques built on the basis of opposition of Walayat-e-Ali asws are on the edge of Hell, which collapses into the Fire with its Muqassir Namazi. In this way, men and stones become the fuel of Hell Fire.
3-The hypocrites of today behave in the same manner, they say: Do not raise slogan of “Ya Ali asws” in the mosque, do not do Zikr of Ali asws and Hussain asws in the mosque, do not give testimony of Walayat-e-Ali asws in the mosque. Momineen should indicate such mosques, so that other Momineen should avoid such places of Wrath of Allah, because Allah has forbidden to stand in such mosques.
يَـٰٓأَيُّها ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ (١١٩)
O you who believe! Fear Allah, and be with the truthful. (119)
1-When this verse was revealed, Salman (a.s.) asked: Ya Rasool Allah sawaw! This verse is general or specific? Said: Momineen are general, because the group of Momineen are commanded about it, and Sadiqeen (Truthful ones) are specific, who are my brother Ali asws and after him Aosiya asws until Qiyamah. (Maola Ali asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p516)
2-Imam Mohammad Baqir asws said to Abu Hamza Sumali: O Abu Hamza! Only he worshiped Allah, who has gained Marifat (knowledge) of Allah; and who did not gain Marifat of Allah, it is as he worshiped someone else, and it is misguidance. He said: What is Marifat of Allah? Said: Testimony of Allah & testimony of Rasool Allah sawaw concerning Walayat-e-Ali asws, and to obey him and guiding Imams asws after him, and to dissociate from their enemies for the sake of Allah, and this is Irfan (knowledge) of Allah. He said: Which is that thing by practicing that the reality of my faith can be completed? Said: Love the Aoliya asws of Allah, and animosity toward the enemies of Allah, and be with the Sadiqeen asws, as Allah has commanded. He said: Who are Aoliya asws of Allah, and who are enemies of Allah? Said: Aoliya of Allah are Mohammad Rasool Allah sawaw, and Ali asws, and Hassan asws, and Hussain asws, and Ali bin Hussain asws, then matter is for me, then my son Jafar asws (and pointed toward Maola Jafar asws, who was sitting), so who loves them, he loved Allah, and is with Sadiqeen asws, as Allah has commanded. He said: Who are enemies of Allah? Said: Those are idols. And after telling those people’s names, said: Who took Deen from them and who turned toward them, the he is among the enemies of Allah. (al-Burhan, v3, p516)
Lesson:
1-Allah is commanding to be with His Truthful Guardians asws appointed by Him. Muqassir Mulla is self-made guardian, it is forbidden to take Deen form him, and it is ordered to dissociate from such enemies of Walayat-e-Ali asws. The opponents of Walayat-e-Ali asws are idols, which blind people (Muqallideen) are worshiping.
2-According to Imam asws, Ibadat without Marifat of Allah is like worshiping someone else, i.e. Shirk; and Marifat of Allah is testimony of Walayat-e-Ali asws & his obedience. It means that without testimony of Walayat-e-Ali asws Ibadat is Shirk.
وَمَا كَانَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُواْ کآفَّةً۬ۚ فَلَوۡلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرۡقَةٍ۬ مِّنۡهمۡ طَآٮِٕفَةٌ۬ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَحۡذَرُونَ (١٢٢)
And it is not for the believers to go forth all togather. So why some people from every group does not go forth to gain understanding in Deen, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may be cautious. (122)
1-Abdul Momin Ansari asked: People say that Rasool Allah sawaw said: Difference of Ummah is blessing. Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: They speak the truth. He said: If there difference is blessing, then their unity is punishment? Said: Not that, where your thought went, and their thought went, only his intention was the saying of Allah, “So why some people from every group does not go forth to gain understanding in Deen, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may be cautious”, so Allah is commanding to go out toward Rasool Allah sawaw, and should come from different areas to gain knowledge from him, then go back to their nation, and give them education. His meaning was only to come & go from different cities, but not the difference in Deen. Deen is only and only one, Deen is only one. (al-Burhan, v3, p521)
2-It was asked from Imam Jafar Sadiq asws: If the leader (scholar) of a nation dies, then what they should do? Said: Don’t you recite the Book of Allah, “So why some people from every group does not go forth to gain understanding in Deen, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may be cautious”? It was asked: What will happen to the waiting people until those who gain understanding come back? Said: Allah bless you, don’t you know that there were five hundred years between Mohammad Mustafa sawaw and Eesa (a.s.), so those people who died on Deen-e-Eesa (a.s.) waiting for Deen-e-Mohammad sawaw, Allah will give them double reward. (al-Burhan, v3, p522)
3-No doubt, our Shias are those who obey us, and never oppose us, they are sad in our hardship, and happy in our happiness, Allah says, “So ask Ahluz-Zikr (family of Zikr sawaw) if you do not know” “So why some people from every group does not go forth......may be cautious” so certainly Allah made obligatory for you to ask question and to return (Rajooh) to us, but it is not obligatory on us to answer (every question). (Imam Ali Raza asws) (al-Burhan, v3, p522)
Lesson:
1-Ignorant Muqassireen also say that difference among Ummah is blessing, meaning that difference in Fatawa of different Mullas about a single issue is blessing, while there can not be difference in Deen.
2-Some assume that Deen is conveyed to the people through Muqassir Mullas! But reality is if some area has no religious scholar, it is better than having Muqassir Mulla, because those people will get double reward by waiting for Zahoor of Imam Qaim asws, instead of that a Muqassir Mulla should misguide & destroy them by departing them from Walayat-e-Ali asws.
3-It is obligatory on Momineen to keep in contact with Imam Qaim asws, and tell him their problems, but Imam asws knows the best what is better for us, when & how to solve problems. Imam asws is not obliged to answer each and every question of Muqassireen, useless questioning and not to obey is wrong.
