When you plant or cultivate read, “The likeness of the blessed word is like that of a blessed tree with firmly established roots and branches that rise into the sky. It produces fruits all the time, by the will of its Lord.’””

“Whoever recites this Surah would be kept safe by Allah from acting upon the mischief of Dajjal and he would remain safe from the chastisement of Hell.”

Whoever recites Surah Maoon in his obligatory and optional prayers would be among those whose prayers and fasts are accepted by Allah, the Mighty and the Sublime, and that man would not be subjected to reckoning for whatever he has done in the world.

An Arabian said to Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family: Peace be upon you, O Informing of Allah. He said: I am not the informing of Allah, however, I am, indeed, the Prophet of Allah.

There is not, between Allah and His Proof, a veil, and so, there is not for Allah any cover before His Proof. We are the Gates of Allah, and we are the Straight Path, and we are Bag of His Knowledge, and we are the Interpreters of His Revelation, and we are the Pillars of His Oneness, and we are the Place of His Secret.

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Surely, I have left among you the two heavyweights: (1) the Book of Allah, and (2) my progeny, my Ahl al-Bayt. Surely, they are the two vicegerents (khalifatan) after me. They will not separate until they return to me at the Pond.

“I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah. “. . a blessed tree which has firm roots and branches rising up into the sky.” (14:24) The Imam (a.s.) said that the The Holy Prophet (s.a) said, “The root is Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and the branches are the Imams from their (Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) and The Holy Prophet (s.a) descendants and the knowledge of Imams stand for the fruits. Their faithful followers represent the leaves of such tree.” The Imam (a.s.) asked, “Is there anything else in the tree?” I said, “No, there is nothing else there. The Imam (a.s.) then said, “By Allah, when a faithful is given a child a leave grows in the tree and when a faithful dies a leave falls off the tree.”

Prophet (MGB) said, “God and all the Prophets (MGB) whose prayers are sure to be fulfilled have cursed seven groups of people. They are those who change the Quran; those who deny Divine Destiny; those who change the tradition of God’s Prophet; those who allow what has been forbidden regarding my Itrat; those who come into power by force so as to debase those who are endeared by God, and to endear those who are debased by God; those who consider lawful what the Honorable the Exalted God has established to be unlawful; and those who are too proud with those who worship the Honorable the Exalted God.”

“I asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s): O son of Allah’s Messenger, Amirul Momineen (a.s) used to say: There will be sedition till 70 A.H. and after that there will be peace and prosperity; but 70 A.H. has passed and we are still in problems?” Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) said: “O Thabit, it was initially fixed as 70 A.H., but meanwhile Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred and the Almighty Allah postponed it to 140 A.H. When we informed you about it, you publicized it and the Almighty Allah postponed it further and even we don’t know about the definite time.” “Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book.” (13:39) Abu Hamza Thumali says that when he asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) about it, he also verified that it was true.

I asked Abu Ja’far, Muhammed bin Ali al-Baqir, peace be upon them both, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «like a good Tree whose root is firmly established and whose Branch is in Heaven? It brings its Fruit all the time, by the permission of its Lord.» (14:24-25) He said: As for the Tree, it is the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and its Branch is Ali (a.s) and the twig of the tree is Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (sw) and its Fruits are her sons, peace be upon them, and its Leaves are our party . He, peace be upon him, then said: Indeed, a believer from our party is surely to die, and a leaf will fall from the Tree, and indeed, a newborn from our party is surely born and the Tree grows a leaf.

“I asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, “Some people consider certain things equal to God and love them just as one should love God. . .” (2:165) The Imam (a.s.) said, “They, by Allah, are the friends of so and so and so and so whom they have taken as their Imams and not the Imam, Leaders with Divine Authority, who are appoint for people as suCh For this reason He has said, “. . Had the unjust been able to reflect about their condition, when facing the torment, they would have had no doubt that to God belongs All-power and that He is stern in His retribution. (2:165) When the leaders see the torment and lose all their resources, they will denounce their followers (2:166). The followers will say, “Had we had the chance we also would have denounced our leaders.” That is how God will show them their regrettable deeds. They will not be able to escape from hell fire.” (2:167).) Then abu Ja‘far (a.s.) said, “By Allah, O Jabir, they are the unjust Imams and their followers.”

Surely, Allah has obligated you to obey me, He has prohibited you from disobeying me, and He made it mandatory for you to follow my orders. He has obliged you to obey `Ali after me in the same way that He obliged you to obey me, and He has prohibited you from disobeying him in the same way that He prohibited you from disobeying me. He made him my brother, my vizier, my deputy, and my inheritor. He is from me, and I am from him. Loving him is faith and hating him is disbelief. Loving him is loving me and hating him is hating me. He is the master of anyone that I am a master of, and I am the master of every Muslim man and woman. Him and I are the two fathers of this Nation.

The one expected to be the most humble in private and in public is the carrier of the Holy Quran, the one expected the most to perform prayer and fast in private and in public is the carrier of the Holy Quran. Then he called out loud, “O carrier of the Holy Quran, be humble with the holy Quran, Allah will raise you for it, do not try to raise your reputation with it for the sake of people; Allah for this will cause you to be humiliated. O carrier of the Holy Quran, beautify the Quran for the sake of Allah and Allah will beautify you for it, do not beautify it’s recitation for the people for Allah will cause your reputation to be reduced. Whoever completes the Holy Quran, it is as if he has saved prophet-hood between his two sides, only divine revelation does not come to him. Whoever collects the Holy Quran has gained handsomely, thus, toward one who behaves toward him ignorantly, he does behave as such; with one who behaves toward him with anger, he does not do as such; and with one who behaves toward him irritably, he does not behave as such. With one who behaves with him in this manner he pardons, ignores, forgives, and bears patiently with them out of respect for the Holy Quran. If one who has received the Holy Quran thinks that what others have received is better than what he has received, he has given significance to what Allah is has made worthless and has considered as worthless what Allah has given greatness.’”

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: O people! Who is better than Allah in speech, and more truthful than Allah in words? O people! Surely, my Lord has ordered me to establish `Ali as a sign, an Imam, a caliph, and a deputy for you; and to take him as a brother and a vizier. O people! `Ali is the gate of guidance after me and the caller to my Lord. He is the Righteous of the Believers, "And who is better in speech than he who calls to Allah, does righteous works, and says 'Surely, I am from those who submit.’?" (41:33)? O people! Surely, `Ali is from me, his descendants are my descendants, and he is the husband of my beloved. His order is my order, and his prohibition is my prohibition. O people! Betake to obeying him, and avoid disobeying him, for obeying him is obeying me, and disobeying him is disobeying me. O people! Surely, `Ali is the saint of this Nation, its distinguisher, and its inspired one. He is its Harun, its Yusha`, its Asif, and its Sham`un. He is its Gate of Remission and its Ark of Salvation. He is its Talut and its Dhul Qarnayn. O people! He is the affliction of the creation, the decisive argument, the great sign, the Imam of the people of this world, and the Firm Handle. O people! Surely, `Ali is with the truth, and the truth is with `Ali, and `Ali is its tongue. O people! `Ali is the divider of the Fire: a friend of his will not enter the Fire, and an enemy of his will not be saved from it. He is the divider of Paradise: an enemy of his will not enter Paradise, and a friend of his will not slip away from it. O my companions! I have advised you, and I have delivered the message of my Lord to you, but you do not love the advisors. I say this saying of mine, and I repent to Allah for myself and for you.

al-Harith if he has recorded that sermon.” Al-Harith said, “I have recorded the sermon in writing.” He then dictated it to us from his book. “All praise is due to Allah Who does not die Whose wonders do not end. It is because everyday He has a task in the form of the invention of something that did not exist. It is He Who has no children so that He would share others in Majesty and He is not the child of others so that He would be inherited and Himself banish. The imaginations can not comprehend Him to figure Him out in some form of similitude. The eyes have not perceived Him so that after changing position He would also change. It is He for whose beginning there is no end nor there is a final destination for His being the last. It is He before Whom there is no time and is not preceded by any duration. He does not become defective by reduction or addition. He does not become attributed with direction or of what is He made of or with place. It is He Who knows all the hidden matters and has surpassed all intelligence what is evident in His creatures of plans and maintenance. It is He about Whom the prophets were asked and they did not speak of Him in terms of limits and parts. They spoke of His acts and showed people His signs. The intelligence of thinkers can not deny Him because the One who has created the heavens and earth and all that is in them and between them and is their Creator no one is able to stand up to His power. It is He, Who is different from the creatures and there is nothing similar to Him. It is He, Who has created the creatures for His worship and has given them the ability to obey Him. With the capabilities that He has placed in them and has removed all their excuses He has placing His authority among them so that after knowing the authority would perish whoever would like to perish and after knowing the authority receive salvation whoever would like to receive salvation. Benevolent is Allah to begin and to repeat. Then, Allah, to Whom all praise is due, introduced praise for His Own-self. He has finished the affairs of the world and the coming of the next life with praise for His Own-self saying, “He has judged among them with the truth” and All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” All praise is due to Allah, Who has dressed up with greatness but with out a body, Who has put on the gown of Majesty and Glory which has no similarity. It is He, Who has control over the Throne without losing such authority. He is far Exalted above the creatures but without being far from them or being in touch with them. He has no limit that would end to a limit nor there is anything similar to Him to help know Him better. All things are humble before His power and might. All things, although great, are small before Him. All things respect His Greatness, obey His authority and Majesty. Glimpses of eyes are weak and exhausted in trying to comprehend Him. The imaginations of the creatures fall far short off describing Him. He is the first before all things and there was is no one before Him. He is the last after all things and there is no after for Him. He has control over all things with might. He observes all places without moving thereto. No touching touches Him and no sense senses Him. He is the Lord in the heavens and the Lord on earth. He is All-wise and All-knowing. He has given firm shape and form to His creatures the way He willed but not with following previous examples and without experiencing any fatigue in the creation of the things that He has created. He began what He wanted to begin and invented what He wanted to invent and the way He willed of the two great and heavy creatures, the man and Jinn so that they would know Him through such evidence His Lordship and established in them His obedience. “We thank Him with all of His praise for all of His bounties. We ask Him for His guidance to give us wisdom in our affairs. We seek His refuge from the evil of our sinful deeds and ask Him to forgive our sins that we may have committed before. We testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (s.a.) is His servant and messengers. He sent him with truth as a prophet, as a sign of His existence and a guide to Him. (We) found guidance through him from straying and are saved through him from ignorance. Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger has indeed gained a great success and has earned a great reward. Whoever disobeys Allah and His messengers has indeed suffered a clear loss and is subjected to a painful punishment. Make sure to succeed in obedience and listening, sincerity, good advice and proper support. Be helpful to yourselves to keep on the straight path and shun the detested matters. Deal among yourselves with truth and cooperate thereby with me. Hold back the unjust and feeble minded hands. Make others do good and prevent them from committing unlawful deeds. Appreciate excellence of the excelling people. May Allah protect you and us through guidance and make you and us steadfast in piety. I ask Allah for forgiveness for myself and for you.”
