Humility When Speaking

Supplication for the advent of the Present Imam (a.t.f.s.) in the qunoot of each prayer

O, my Allah, toward You and in Your direction: eyes gaze, steps advance, palms and hands are lifted, necks stretch. And you are called with tongue.

The Holy Prophet’s Prayer

may Allah have mercy on him, has narrated, through an authenticated chain of authority, that when he was asked about Ja`far al-±ayy¡r’s Prayer, Imam al-Ri¤¡ (`a) said, “Have you known about the Holy Prophet’s Prayer? Perhaps, the Holy Prophet (¥) had never offered Ja`far al-±ayy¡r’s Prayer and Ja`far al-±ayy¡r had never offered the Holy Prophet’s Prayer.” When the asker asked him to teach him that prayer, Imam al-Ri¤¡ (`a) said,

Sahifa Al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.)

The Origin of the Issue of Khilafah

From the first days of the prophetic mission (bi`thah) the issue of leadership of the Islamic Nation after the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) was more or less in people’s minds.
