The Beginning

Only through Knowledge and Faith may the human soul find true deliverance from the treacherous shadows of existence. Whosoever desires a heart free from sorrow and eternal despair must seek guidance in the words of the Prophet of God, washing the rust of the soul in the pure waters of divine revelation—he who was the Master of Inspiration and the bearer of holy commandments.

After the great Messengers, the radiant sun shone upon none more fit than Abu Bakr; then Umar brought the splendor of Islam into the open, adorning the realm like a garden in spring; and after them came Uthman the Chosen, the exemplar of modesty and piety. The fourth was Ali, spouse of the pure Batul, whom the Messenger himself exalted with supreme praise, proclaiming: 'I am the City of Knowledge, and Ali is its Gate.' The Prophet stands as the blazing sun, while his Companions shine like moons reflecting his guidance upon the right path.

Consider this world as a vast and tempestuous ocean, churned into violent waves by fierce cosmic winds. Upon these treacherous waters sail seventy vessels with unfurled sails; yet among them floats one majestic ship, adorned like a bride, carrying Muhammad, Ali, and the holy Household of the Prophet. The sage who surveys this shoreless abyss knows that none can escape its engulfing tides. Thus he resolves in his heart: 'If I must brave the storm, I shall board the vessel of the Prophet and his Successor, for they are faithful guardians—masters of the heavenly crown, the banner, and the rivers of paradise.'

Whosoever sets his gaze upon the eternal abode must anchor his soul alongside the Prophet and Ali. Upon this holy path was life bestowed, and upon it shall it pass, abiding as dust beneath the feet of Haidar. The heart that strays from this truth becomes its own worst enemy, for none harbor malice against Ali save those of dark and wretched lineage. Therefore, let no one treat this mortal world as a idle game, but walk steadfastly alongside the righteous toward unbounded light.
