 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هل أتاع للإنسان حين من الدهر لم يكن شيئا مذكورا إنا خلقنا الإنسان من نطفة أمشاج النبتلي فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا إنا هدينه السبيل إما شاكرا وإما كفورا إنا أعتدنا للكافرين سلاسل وأغلال وسعيرا إن الأبرار يشربون من كأس كان مزاجها كافورا عين يشرب بها عباد الله يفجرونها تفجيرا يوفون بالنذر ويخافون يوما كان شره مستطيرا ويطعمون الطعام على حبه مسكينا ويتيما واسيرا إنما نطعمكم لوجه الله لا نريد منكم جزاء ولا شكورا إنا نخاف من ربنا يوما نعبو سنقا طريرا فوقاهم الله شر ذلك اليوم ولقاهم نظرة وسرورا وجزاهم بما صبروا جنة وحريرا بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم في نام الله the compassionate the merciful prayers upon the prophet the last of the prophets and his pure kin the most affectionate and satisfying to God and on his fellows that accompanied him through intensities I am the poor slave to God خليل الشوي from Halab I have a diploma in Islamic Sharia and I am a researcher in Islamic studies and the scholar of Al-Kawakimi Mosque in Halab God Almighty said in his holy book religion to God is Islam Islam is an idea Islam is a theory this idea and this theory was represented by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him Islam is an idea and the theory represented by the prophet peace be upon him in his talk in his behavior he is the practical example of Islam the prophet peace be upon him ordered us to look up to Ahl al-Bayt and follow them the prophet peace be upon him ordered us to return to his household after he dies because they represent the natural extension for the prophet peace be upon him the prophet peace be upon him is the seal of prophets but Ahl al-Bayt represent his biography for example the prophet said about As-Saidah Fatima Fatima is a piece of me which means she is a part of the prophet peace be upon him the prophet is fallible and the part of the fallible is fallible the peace of the fallible is fallible he also said about Imam Ali you are my brother successor, guardian and trustee after me your status to me is that of Haroon Tomosa these sayings underscore the obligation to follow Ahl al-Bayt peace be upon them even before this the holy Quran says and Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you you members of the family and make you pure and spotless they were purified by God not from materialistic abomination but from the spiritual one and this is a sign that they are the carriers of the greatest responsibility which is Islam they have to be purified so they deserve to carry this divine message God removed abomination from them so that we follow the purified ones peace be upon them Imam Ali peace be upon him is the first to be a Muslim he was raised under the patronage of the prophet he was born in the Kaaba and was raised by the prophet peace be upon him and Islam flows in his blood may God purify his holy face if we take a look at the biography of Imam Ali we notice that he was always in the forefront he was the pioneer the first in all battles the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him fought on the prophet's migration night he told Imam Ali Ali you should sleep in my bed tonight what did Imam Ali say he said God's messenger will you be safe if I slept in your bed tonight will you survive the prophet said yes I will Imam Ali answered then I shall not care if I stroke death or death stroke me in the battle of Badr all the stories in different Islamic doctrines mentioned that Imam Ali peace be upon him killed half of Quraysh's ignorant polytheists he killed 35 out of 70 and participated in fighting the rest of them in the battle of Ahud he was one of the few who stayed with the prophet after many of the scholars and soldiers with him run away as as sayid Ali described in his book in the exegesis of Surat Umran so the life of Imam Ali was a life abundant with bestowal and sharing it was a life filled with sacrifice for Islam and the love and the obedience for the prophet even if we went back to khaybar's battle in khaybar Ali had an injured eye he couldn't see the prophet said one night after the muslims failed to break into khaybar fought tomorrow I shall give the victory banner to a man that loves god and his prophet and is loved by god and his prophet a brave fearless man who shall achieve victory all his friends started to wonder who might that man be a man who loves the god and his prophet and is loved by god and his prophet see it's easy to love god because he is the greatest but the fact of being loved by god and having his satisfaction needs huge effort and reasonable thinking the next morning the prophet said where is Ali bring me Ali they said he can't see he's injured then Ali came and prophet Muhammad peace be upon him wiped Ali's eyes until they returned just like they were and then Ali went and achieved victory just by his hands that were able to open the door of khaybar when he was asked how he was able to do this he said I did not dislocate the door using my physical strength it was dislocated by a force from god so we are talking about such glory and highness so it's normal that I follow him after prophet Muhammad peace be upon him how much are we in need for such a personality at this time someone with such knowledge and strength in fighting God Almighty said in his holy book God raises those who are knowledgeable degrees so if you ask me about knowledge prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its door as for the jihad just like we mentioned earlier he participated in all the invasions and was the hero and had a central role moreover God mentions in his holy book no reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin they asked according to sources who are your kin for those whom you order us to love he said they are Ali Fatima and their sons Ali Fatima and their sons so there is an obligation that has no less importance than the obligation of praying the obligation is to be followers of prophet Muhammad's household it's important to know that affection is not a matter of saying or writing nice words about those purified people it's a matter of loyalty affection is loyalty it's a commitment is to follow and following أهل البيت doesn't mean we oppose others not at all God Almighty ordered us to walk with foresight he said say this is my path I ask people to join for I walk with foresight along with my followers أهل البيت represent this foresight they represent this path didn't the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him say Fatima is her father's mother who is the prophet who is the messenger isn't this the case isn't the divine message limited to the prophet for Muhammad is a messenger his personality is related to this message and Fatima peace be upon her is the mother of her father so she is a mother of the case and the divine message Fatima was called by the prophet peace be upon him as the lady of women in both worlds they said what about Mary he said Mary is the lady of women of her time as for Fatima she is the lady of all times and both worlds Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said lots of men are complete but only four women are complete Fatima the daughter of Muhammad Khadija the daughter of Khwailit Maryam the daughter of Amran and Amina the daughter of Wahab and Asya the daughter of Muzahim and the wife of the prophet in heaven she is a great example of faith Fatima is a role model that must be followed it's normal to follow such a model and not doing that would be abnormal therefore it's natural to be followers of Prophet's Ahl al-Bait as for Imam Al-Hasan and Hussein Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said Al-Hasan and Hussein are my basils of this world if Prophet Muhammad wanted to fill his heart with essence of life and afterlife he smells and kisses Al-Hasan and Hussein therefore Ahl al-Bait are ideal and Ahl al-Bait must be followed and loved Ador Prophet Muhammad and his sons for adoring his love brings God's satisfaction if your body dies love shall revive it for a body filled with the love of Muhammad no land shall perish it knowledge is our door to faith personally I've read I read about Islam I read about Christianity I read about Judaism Buddhism because I'm a specialist in studying religions we read about the history of religion I started to search for a haven I started to search for a field within the dimension of my thoughts I entered into Suthism and several doctrines and schools at that time I lived in panic and worry I felt there's something missing that I hadn't found yet the knowledge I had didn't fulfill my first for knowledge and my emotional thirst and I was impatient to find what I lacked until I knocked the door of Ahl al-Bait school the imams الحسين زين العبدين الباقر الصادق القاذم الرضا الجواد الهادي العسكري مهدي كوذي انتصاب and he's one of the imams in Suthism which states his arrival someday so Ahl al-Bait are present in the hearts and minds of the whole nation I read about these great personalities about their impact and there's no way to summarize their effect is between my hands about Ahl al-Bait from the Quran and what we know about them from the Prophet Sunnah which is agreed upon by all Muslims is enough to say that we shall not follow anyone in this world except Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family in this entire world we shall not follow any path other than that of Ahl al-Bait therefore knowledge leads you to this result for example I was searching for a du'a to enjoy at midnight I found in Zain al-Abadine's صحيفة السجدية my lord whenever I feel lonely your name accompanies me I found a du'a for Imam al-Hasan peace be upon him lord you bestowed me but you didn't find me thankful you tested me and you didn't find me patient but neither did you remove your grace for not thanking nor did you keep my agony for lacking patience lord I deserve what you give me for my meanness and you deserve what reflects your generosity I read for Zain al-Abadine lord I ask you forgiveness for every movement I haven't mentioned you lord all the hearts adored you and minds united over knowing you you are to be asked everywhere words beyond amazement I read about their rights رسلت الحقوق for Imam Zain al-Abadine peace be upon him I read for Imam al-Sadiq which played a huge role in Islam who is able to be neutral neither did he give the ruler authority nor did he fight him according to what he describes he had a status in between this and that this status in between is the سراط المستقيم the straight path by this status he guaranteed the continuity of promoting virtue and preventing vice or using curtliness towards the ruler and authority great personalities not only did they attract me or attract Muslims but Ahl al-Bait's personalities attracted non-Muslims as well the best authors who wrote about Imam Ali or one of the best authors who wrote justice is the voice of humanity about Imam Ali is Christian author George Ardaq the best who wrote about Ahl al-Bait and took the first prize in writing about Ahl al-Bait is the Lebanese Christian author Suleiman Kitani may he rest in peace this man wrote amazing books the most touching true words that could ever be written because these majestic peaks were able to reach all humanity Imam Ali peace be upon him said people are of two kinds either a brother for you in religion or an equivalent match in creation hence knowledge is what leads us to walk or actually have the honour to walk along this blessed path like I said without having any reactions towards other parties what I care for is being right what I care for is following God Almighty and if I follow what God's messenger stated I would have the legitimacy to be an active member in this society and if I follow what God's messenger stated I would have the legitimacy to follow what God's messenger stated and I would be an active member perhaps one of the biggest difficulties I faced at the time were societies especially the Arabic societies unfortunately were illiterate they didn't read and they are emotional and dragged to reactions by their emotions society is a rule with no knowledge God Almighty says are you who believe if a wicked person comes to you with any news a certain retreat lest you harm people unwittingly our society can be driven by a TV episode on a channel specialized in causing disorder and separation in the nation because society lacks foresight and has never been founded properly it was based on separation accusation prejudice and all means of ignorance that lead to what it is now what changed me before and after converting I can't actually define a certain time when I felt this difference for it is not a physical one personally I consider myself a truth seeker since the first day I became mature enough to know religion I had this thinking I got raised in a conservative community I started to search as I grew up for something that satisfies myself physically emotionally even the educational side of me until I entered a Sharia school we learned about Salafis I found it too dry too frozen they want to dry out life and I'm not sure if they want to dry out life or if they want to dry out life and I'm not talking about all the Salafis finally I ask God Almighty to enlighten our hearts with the light of His knowledge to take us out of the darkness of illusion fellow viewer when you follow Ahl al-Bait only then you enter the zone of comfort the zone of peace because Ahl al-Bait are a blessing from God and saviours of humanity and all Muslims all kinds of Muslims or non-Muslims agree upon these facts therefore Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that who dies with love for Muhammad and his family in his heart dies a Puritant that who dies with love of Muhammad dies a Mati that who dies with love of Muhammad dies with forgiven sins so the path of Ahl al-Bait is of subliminal Islam the path of productive love of loyalty and path of victory if God wills the end of this path is Imam Al-Mahdi peace be upon him Imam Al-Mahdi peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him peace be upon him فوقاهم الله شر ذلك اليوم ولقاهم نظرة وسرورا وجزاهم بما صبروا جنة وحريرا متكئين فيها على الأرائك لا يرون فيها شمسا ولا زمهريرا ودانية عليهم ظلالها وذللت قطوفها تذليلا ويطاف عليهم بآنية من فضة وأكواب وأكواب كانت قواريرا قوارير من فضة قدرواها
