أَیُّها الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا أَطیعُوا اللّهَ وَأَطیعُوا الرَّسُول وَ أُولی الأمرِ مِنْکُمْ

O people of faith! Obey God, and also obey the Messenger and those who hold authority among you.

(Surah An-Nisa, verse 59)

​

From the very beginning of creation, the Light of Allah was divided into two parts, so that ultimately, in a blessed union, they would become one again.

And later, there would come a point when the entirety of that single Light would be embodied before the eyes of the world…

And so it came to pass that on the 18th day of Dhu al-Hijjah in the year 10 AH, the blessed hands of His Eminence, the Commander of the Realm, Imam Ali (p) were placed in the blessed hands of His Eminence, the Noble Prophet…

 

«من کنت مولاه فهذا علی مولاه»

“For whomever I am his Master, this Ali is his Master.”

 

The “King” was Mawlana Ali (p), and His “love” was the primordial covenant taken from those who love Him.

And when, at the call of Truth, they said “Yes,” they prepared their hearts to receive His fatherly love…

And He is the King of hearts.

His love shines upon hearts in such a way that it turns the nights of doubt into dawn.

In His gaze, justice blossoms.

And in His hand, truth flashes like Dhu al-Fiqar.

Ultimately, it is these “I am” declarations of Mawla Amir al-Mu’minin (p), that become a path toward gaining knowledge of His blessed station, 

so that the followers of the Master of the Age, Sahib az-Zaman, may our souls be sacrificed for Him,

may be raised with Alawi guardianship and revive Alawi justice.

Thus are the steps toward the Advent realized.

InshaAllah.
