Brethren in Islam & Iman!
A human being is best of all creatures and best of all things present in the universe:
(
and survival and development of human beings needs religion of God that had been explained through a complete human being)
Therefore, Bu Ali Sina says:
(that the Prophet is needed more for a man to make him achieve heights for his human presence, survival and safety as well as to state the religion and Shariat of God and the Maktab than to make eyebrows grow, to create cavity in both feet and similarly besides fulfilling other interests because other things are necessary only for the human being’s presence while survival of the human being and its excellence needs religion and Shariat of
God)
When the Creator did not even leave minor necessities unattended then how can He leave the most wanted need i.e. religion and Shariat. The religion in which all human needs and even the universe has been kept in mind that is only and only Islam:
Islam is a complete, truthful and universal religion that is the best strategy and complete code of life irrespective whether these needs and requirements are worldly or belong to Hereafter, material or spiritual, rational or imaginative, individual or collective, and Prophet and the Messenger is the base of religion and the Preacher and the Imam is the “Wasi”, protector and defender of the religion. Both are assigned this job by Allah, “Wahi” is delivered only on the Prophet and the Messenger while the Imam is the heir of all knowledge of Nabuwwat and Risalat (prophet hood). Although “Wahi” is not delivered on the Imam but he holds full control over the religious system given by the Prophet and the Messenger and character of both is purely constructive and they do not escape from any big sacrifice they have to offer in the interest of the Islamic society. Appointment of the Imam comes from Allah through the courtesy of the Prophet because no one but Allah knows who is placed on the highest pedestal of honour. Thus it is the basic responsibility of the Prophet to get his “Wasi” and heir introduced. That is why the Holy Prophet (SAW) made that introduction on the occasion of
 Zul-Asheera Invitation by saying that one who will certify my Prophet hood (Nabuwwat) would be the one who is my heir. Then on the occasion of Hajjatul Wida, following the commandment of Allah
introduced Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) to the gathering of more than one lakh Hajis (pilgrims) in the plain of Khumm-e-Ghadeer saying
Ali (A.S.) has the singular honour to be Maulood-e- Ka’aba (born in Ka’aba) and of being brought up under the guidance of the Holy Prophet (SAW). That is why Hazrat Ali says:
“The Prophet (SAW) brought me up in his lap, fed me from his loafs, wherever he went, I followed him like a dromedary (she-camel) child walks behind her, everyday a new character cropped up from his great personality and I used to accept and implement it like an order and a holy saying”.
For that very reason Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib had been the treasure of knowledge of prophet hood, having all qualities like knowledge and sacrifice, softness and bravery, eloquence and rhetoric. He was the one who bowed before God in his childhood along with the Holy Prophet (SAW). He says:
“I was the first person who offered his prayers along with the Holy Prophet (SAW)”.
Renowned historian Gabon says: The family dignity, relationship and character that had made him distinguished and indifferent from his countrymen, were enough to justify his claim on the empty Arab power corridors. Being the son of Abu Talib (A.S.) he was the chief of Bani Hashim, wealthy personality of Makkah and had inherited caretaker of Ka’aba.
The role played by Ali (A.S.) in serving the religion of Islam is exemplary. He fulfilled all responsibilities he had to fulfill being a religious leader. He fulfilled all his obligations in the given circumstances and shattered the foundations of oppression and brutalities fighting out the Kafreen (infidels) and Munafiqeen (hypocrites) till his martyrdom. Hazrat Ali (A.S.) opposed the oppression and the oppressor at every fora and considered justice and fair-play holiest thing.
Today the root cause of all evils is oppression and brutalities which are in plenty all around along with terrorism. That is why every one is upset, colonial powers and their chief i.e. America has disturbed the whole world, the United Nations that was the last hope of the world was playing the role of slave for chief of the colonial powers as a result of which blood bath is going on in Kashmir and Palestine today, and now Afghan people are given a tough time after doing the same in Iraq while the Muslim rulers were playing the role of their agents. Someone asked from Maula-i-Kainaat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that timely politics demands that these people should be put to work, he replied in one golden sentence:
(Can Ali ibne Abi Talib seek help through oppression and brutality?).
Like oppression is a sin similarly cooperation with the oppressor is also a sin. There is only solution if we desire to escape this great problem and get rid of the colonial powers, i.e. adopt the life-style of Ali (A.S.) that is fatal for oppression and terrorism.
Had the human beings followed their Imam then the Muslim would not have to see these pathetic days today. But they were not sincere with Ali (A.S.). Therefore a dissenter hurt him with the poisonous sword while the Imam (A.S.) was offering Fajr prayers in the Kofa mosque on 19th Ramazan of the 40 Hijra. The earth shattered, angels were surprised, jins and human beings were crying while Khanwada-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) were upset and wailing. Ali (A.S.) was lying in the pool of blood but was saying:
(I swear by God of Ka’aba, I have become successful).
He breathed his last on Ramazan 21. He was born in Bait Ullah and rested in Najaf Ashraf. Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) began his life from the Bait Ullah (Ka’aba) and returned it also in the Bait Ullah (mosque).
