Love of Ahlul Bayt (as)

I bear witness, with my own free will and no influence, that there is no god but Allah, glorious and exalted is He, and that Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his Holy Family, is His servant and Messenger, and that Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, is the Imam whose obedience has been made incumbent by Allah on all people; and that Hasan and Husayn, Ali ibn Husayn, Muhammad ibn Ali, Jafar ibn Muhammad, Musa ibn Jafar, Ali ibn Musa, Muhammad ibn Ali, Ali ibn Muhammad, Hasan ibn Ali, and Muhammad ibn Hasan, al-Mahdí (peace and blessings be upon them all), all the Imams of the believers and the Proof of Allah for the whole of creation are my Imams, the rightly-guiding and the pious. I bear witness that: Allah is my God Muhammad is my Prophet, Islam is my only religion, the Holy Qur'an is my scripture, the Ka'aba is my qibla, Ali ibn Abu Talib is my Imam, Hasan ibn Ali is my Imam, Husayn ibn Ali, is my Imam, Zayn al-Abadin is my Imam, Muhammad al-Baqir is my Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq is my Imam, Musa al-Kadhim is my Imam, Ali al-Ridha is my Imam, Muhammad al-Taqi is my Imam, Ali al-Naqi is my Imam, Hasan al-Askari is my Imam, and al-Hujat ibn al-Hasan, al-Muntazar, the living al-Mehdi ibn al-Hasan is my Imam. They, upon whom be peace, are my Imams, Masters and Intercessors before Allah. I love them, all of them, and shun their enemies in this life and the next.

I bear witness that: Allah, the Almighty, the Exalted, is the best Lord; that Muhammad, the blessings of Allah be upon him and his Family, is the best Prophet; and that the Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abu Talib, and his offspring, are the best Imams; and that the message Muhammad brought from Allah is true, death is true, the questioning in the grave by Munkar and Nakir is true, the Resurrection of the dead is true, the appearance before Allah is true, the Bridge (al-sirat) is true, the Divine Scales are true, the dissemination of the book of one's deeds at Doomsday is true, paradise is true, and hell is true; and that there is no doubt about the coming of the inevitable Hour of Reckoning; and that the rising of the dead from their graves is true.
