GHADIR
This story is about one of the earliest moments when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) publicly invited his close relatives to accept Islam. After receiving a command from God to warn his family, the Prophet organized a meal for the leaders of the Quraysh tribe. Despite their initial mockery, he repeated the invitation the next day.
At that second gathering, he asked who among them would support him in delivering God's message. Although all the elders stayed silent, young Imam Ali (PBUH) stood up and offered his support. The Prophet then declared him as his brother, successor, and helper. This story highlights Imam Ali’s courage, early commitment to Islam, and the clear announcement of his future leadership—despite the ridicule and rejection of others.
This story is about the historic event of Ghadir Khumm, during the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH&HF) Farewell Pilgrimage. Near the end of his life, the Prophet received a final and urgent command from God: to publicly announce Imam Ali (PBUH) as his successor and spiritual leader after him. Despite the threat of opposition, the Prophet gathered the pilgrims and, in front of thousands, raised Imam Ali’s hand and declared him as his brother, successor, and the guardian of the faithful.
The story highlights the deep spiritual bond between the Prophet and Imam Ali, the divine appointment of leadership, and the perfection of Islam through the declaration of Wilayah (Divinely-Appointed Leadership)—as confirmed by the final verse of the Qur’an revealed on that day.
The book "Treasures of the Family of Mohammad (PBUH&HF)", a translation of Asrar Ale-Mohammad—originally known as the Book of Sulaym ibn Qays Hilali—is a foundational Shia Islamic text. It is considered the first hadith and historical compilation from the first century of the Islamic Hijri calendar.
This book presents firsthand narrations from Sulaym ibn Qays, a close companion of Imam Ali (PBUH), offering a deeply detailed and often critical account of the early events following the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) death. It covers topics such as the controversial succession after the Prophet, the virtues and rights of the Ahlul Bayt (the family of the Prophet), and injustices they faced, including the events at Saqifah, the oppression of Lady Fatimah (PBUH), and the forced allegiance of Imam Ali (PBUH).
The book also explores theological themes, the nature of true faith and leadership, and includes prophecies, sermons, and dialogues involving key Islamic figures. It is a vital work for understanding early Shia perspectives on Islamic history and the significance of the Imams.
This book is a spiritual and theological tribute to Imam Ali (PBUH), emphasizing his unique status in Islam as the Divine Proof (Ḥujjah), Guide, Conclusive Argument, and Manifestation of God’s Light and Blessings. Through verses of the Qur’an, narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and sayings from the Imams, the text highlights Imam Ali's unmatched virtues, his role in divine guidance, and his divinely appointed leadership (Wilayah). The book aims to deepen love, loyalty, and recognition of Imam Ali’s position among believers.
This is powerful story from early Islamic history featuring Amīr al-Mu’minīn, Imam Ali (peace be upon him). When a servant confesses to theft, Imam Ali—upholding divine law—orders the punishment of severing his hand. Despite the pain, the servant responds not with bitterness, but with profound reverence, praising the Imam's justice, virtue, and spiritual status.
Moved by the servant's unwavering loyalty and faith, Imam Ali miraculously restores his hand by the will of God. The story emphasizes themes of divine justice, the love and loyalty of true believers, the miraculous power granted to righteous leaders, and the profound spiritual stature of Imam Ali. The title "The Uncle" comes from Imam Ali’s tender reference to the servant as the “uncle” of his sons Hassan and Hussain—an expression of deep honor and mercy.
