You would neither be able to hold fast to the covenant of the Book unless you identify those who have left it, nor would you be able to do justice to Book\u2019s true recitation unless you differentiate those who have made \u2018Tahreef\u2019 (changes) to it.

If you are able to identify the innovations and favouritism (induced into religion), only then you can see lies, which have been fabricated against Allah -zawj , and see how they are trapped (those) who did fall (into worldly gains against the bounties of the hereafter).\u00a0 Do not let those, who do not know, make you ignorant.\u00a0 Seek guidance from those people, who possess a special \u2018Noor\u2019 who are the source of deliverance, and they are the Imams -asws who should be followed.

(See the rest in Appendix I). \n Amir-ul-Momineen Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws has also emphasised that it\u2019s absolutely necessary for the recognition of \u2018Just\u2019 (Haq) to recognition \u2018those\u2019 who have left it.

An extract from one of Ali -asws \u2018s Sermons delivered at the place called \u2018Qarah\u2019\u2019 is given below: \n (Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said):\u00a0 And know that you will never recognise the guidance until you recognise the ones who have left it, and will never take to the Covenant of the Book until you recognise the ones who broke it, and will never attach yourselves to it until you recognise the ones who have abandoned it, and will never be able to recite the Book as it deserves to be recited until you recognise the ones who altered it, and will never recognise the misguidance until you recognise the Guidance, and will never recognise the piety until you recognise the ones who abused it.

(Complete sermon is given in Appendix I). \n Main Conclusions: \n Imam Hussain -asws \u2019s refusal to the \u2018Bayat\u2019 of (allegiance to) Yazid -la and the purpose of going to Kufa may be highlighted below; however, the impact and reforms of Imam -asws \u2019s campaign on Islam and on the lives of human and Jinns are numerous and can never be enumerated!
