O community! This Messenger of Allahsaww has made measws to be prestigiousby being a son of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Thank Allahazwj for Hisazwj Bountiesto you, for the one who appreciates the bounties deserves them to be

increased, just like the one who turns away from them, deserves to bedeprived of them'. That was also said afterwards to the Messenger ofAllahsaww. The Messenger of Allahsaww said: 'There will be coming out ofthemasws great onesasws, the fatherasws of a number of the Pure Imamsasws, andthe fatherasws of Al-Qaimasws from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww who willfill the earth with fairness and justice just like it was filled with injustice andtyranny before'.

'This is from the Guidance of Allahazwj Explained to the people in Hisazwj Book.Then Heazwj Said: "and those" meaning those who cut off these qualities from

Muhammadsaww and from Aliasws and concealed them from those who seekthem, which they have been necessitated to give in the absence of Taqqiya"these it is whom Allah shall curse" Curses on those who conceal (the Just)"and those who curse shall curse them (too)" Firstly, "and those who curseshall curse them (too)" there is not a single one of the true ones or the falseones, but he will say: 'Curse of Allahazwj be on the unjust who concealed thetruth'.

The unjust one who concealed that truth will also say "Curse of Allahazwj be onthe unjust, the concealers'. They, in this meaning, join all other in sending the

curses, and also in sending curse upon themselves'.

And from this, secondly, if one person is annoyed with another one and theycurse each other, the two curses get elevated and they seek permission fromtheir Lordazwj to fall upon the ones who sent them.

Allahazwj the Almighty Says to the Angelsas: 'Look, if the one who cursed ishimself deserving of being cursed, and the other one is not deserving of it,then Send down the curses from both of them upon the one who deserves.And if the one who cursed is not deserving of it, but the other one is, thensend both the curses upon that deserving one. And if both of them are

deserving of being cursed, then send this curse upon that one and that curseupon this one.

And if none of them are deserving of being cursed due to their beingbelievers, and they are only doing this due to their annoyance with each other,then divert them towards the Jews who concealed the qualities ofMuhammadsaww and the mention of Aliasws and hisasws features, and towardsthe Nasibis who conceal the virtues of Aliasws, and reject hisasws (Divine)attributes'.

patient on the hostilities of your enemies, in the manifestation of the truth.But, the greatest obligation Imposed on you by Allahazwj after theobligation of being in ourasws Mastership and the enmity of ouraswsenemies, is the utilisation of Taqqiyaon yourselves and your brothersand your knowledge, and the fulfilment of the rights of your brethren.But, Allahazwj will Forgive all other sins other than those and will not Inquire.However, these two are such that none will achieve salvation except afterbeing touched by harsh Punishment.

'Who is the one who helps Muhammadsaww and Aliasws against theiraswsenemies?' Allahazwj the Almighty Sent down "Most surely in the creation of theheavens and the earth" without any pillars underneath to prevent it from fallingdown, and no connection from above it to stop it from falling upon you.

And you, O male and female slaves, are Myazwj

prisoners in Myazwj

Grip. Theearth is under you, yet you cannot run away anywhere, and the sky is aboveyou, but there is no way for you to avert its (shade). If Iazwj so Desire, Iazwj CanDestroy you by them.

"and the ships that run in the sea with that which

profits men". Allahazwj Makes them run night and day in your obedience. Theydo not ask for grass or water, and has Sent the wind to make it easier for youotherwise you would have had to use your strength, had Heazwj not Sent thewind for your betterments and benefit for your needs.

"and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud" A barrage does notcome down to you at once which would drown you and destroy yourdwellings, but Heazwj Sends it down separately until it fills the hills and valleys."then gives life with it to the earth after its death" the vegetation and grain andfruits come out of it. "and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals" from these arethose that are your livelihood, and from these are those who are a means ofsafety to you and your bounties, they do not run away from fear of beingeaten by ferocious animals'.

"there are signs" clear evidence "for a peoplewho understand" who ponder with their intellects that this is one of thewonders of the effects of Hisazwj Power, has the Power on helpingMuhammadsaww and Aliasws and theirasws Progenyasws, and for whoever were to

accept this as correct, Heazwj will Make Good the consequences for him whoare in theirasws Mastership, because the struggle is not for this world, but it isfor the hereafter which has everlasting Bliss, and away from its Punishments.

The Messenger of Allahsaww said: 'It is surprising to see a believer from theShiites of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws to be helped in this world over hisenemies, and that collects for him betterment in both this world and in thehereafter.

And as for the one who is in trials in the world, his collection is for the

hereafter, and his efforts in this world will be immaterial when compared to theBounties of the hereafter. And similarly, Isaww wonder at the servant whoopposes usasws - the People of the Householdasws, and abandons us in theworld and suppresses the believers using his resources. His collection is thePunishments of both the worlds. And if he is given time in this world, he will bepunished in the hereafter with strange Punishments, and be struck withRevenge, and will wish that he would have been a Muslim in the world, andthe bounties which he had been given in the world would be immaterial incomparison to these Punishments.
