  • 28 Merits specifically for Imam Ali (A.S)

    The following is taken from the book Al-Qatra by Sayed Ahmad Mustanbat Vol. 2, Pg. 205, and Hadith. 57 From the book ‘Al-Majmoe al-Raiq min azhaar al-Hadaiq’, 100 merits specifically for the commander of the faithful (A.S), from those which Shaikh Sadooq narrated on the day of Ghadeer in the year 361 Hijri, with the chain of narrators going up to the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) about those merits which Allah (S.W.T) chose specifically for the commander of the faithful (A.S). And from those we have chosen 28 merits:

    When Imam Ali (A.S) was born, light (noor) appeared from the sky to the surface of the Ka'ba. And the idols that were upon the Ka’ba fell down [upon their faces]. And Satan cried out saying, 'Woe be to the Idols and its worshipers from this new born'

    The Wilayah of Imam Ali (A.S) was put forth to parts of the earth. So those parts that accepted His Wilayah become beautiful and pure. And those who did not accept His Wilayah became salty land (not supporting any growth)
    The Wilayah of Imam Ali (A.S) was put forth to the plants. So those that accepted His Wilayah became beneficial/useful for the people and those that did not accept His Wilayah became poisonous killing.

  • Giving life to the dead using Quran

    Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Abu Zahir or another man from Muhammad ibn Hammad from his brother Ahmad ibn Hammad from Ibrahim from his father who has said the following.
    "I said to Abu al-Hassan al-Thani (A.S), "May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, would you tell me about the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.U&H.P) who inherited all the prophets." The Imam (A.S) said, "Yes, I may do so. I asked, "Did he inherit from Adam up to his-self?" The Imam (A.S) said, "Of every prophet that Allah sent Prophet Muhammad (A.S) was more knowledgeable." I then said, "Jesus son of Mary would bring the dead to life by the permission of Allah."
    The Imam (A.S) said, "You spoke the truth."
    "I said, "Solomon son of David could understand the language of the birds. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.U&H.P) was also capable of doing such things." The narrator has said that the Imam (Divine Supreme Covenant Body) then said, "Solomon son of David said to the (Hoopoe) Hud-Hud when he found him missing and had doubts about the bird.” (Solomon) inspected the birds and said, "How is it that I cannot see the hoopoe (when he did not find him present and became angry). Is he absent? (27:20). I shall certainly punish him severely or slaughter him unless he has a good reason for his absence." (27:21) He became angry because the bird would show him how to find water. This is only a bird but is given something that is not given to Solomon. The wind, ants, man, Jinn, devils and the rebels obeyed him in submission but he did not know about the water in the space but the bird knew it as Allah says in His Book.
    "Even if the Quran would make mountains move, cut the earth into pieces and make the dead able to speak . . ." (13:31) we have inherited this Quran which contains such things that can make the mountains move, cross the lands and make the dead to come to life. We know there is water in space. In the book of Allah there are verses that are indicative of certain issues only if Allah would give permission. This is along with the fact that Allah sometime grants permission to make use of the things that people of the past had written. Allah has set them for us in the origin of the Book as Allah says, "All the secrets in heavens and earth are recorded in the illustrious Book. (27:75) Then Allah has said, "We gave the Book as an inheritance to our chosen servants," (35:32) we are the ones whom Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has chosen and has given this which contain the explanation of all things."
