\n I am the Lord of ‘Ad and its gardens!

\n I am the Lord of ‘Ad and its gardens! \n I am the Lord of Thamud and its wondrous signs! \n I am the One that destroyed it, \n I am the One that caused the Earthquakes! \n I am the One that caused their Return and their Perdition! \n I am the Builder of those civilisations and their Destroyer! \n I cause their Expiry and I cause them to be quickened! \n I am the First and the Last! \n I am the External and Manifest and I am the Internal and Hidden!

\n I am with the Cycle (kawr) before the Cycle began! \n I am the Companion of the Dispensation (dawr) before the Dispensation started! \n I was with the Pen before the Pen and I am with the Tablet prior to the Tablet being revealed! \n I am the Lord of the First Pre-existence! \n I am the Lord of Jabulqa and of Jabulsa! \n I am the Master of Highest Stage (rafraf) and of Bahram! \n I am the One Who organised existence when there was no heaven as you have them now nor earth as you know it now!

\u201c \n The Son of Suwairama said: “Are you, are you indeed that One?!” \n Imam Ali(a.s) replied: \n \u201cI am, I am that One!\u201d \n \u201c There is no other God(swt) But God(swt) Who is My Lord(swt) and the Lord(swt) of all created things. Unto Him(swt) belongs the Creation and the World of Revelation (amr). He(swt) it is Who has ordained all matters in His(swt) Wisdom and heavens and earth are upraised in His(swt) Power.

\n Methinks the weak ones amongst you are saying; “Is this not the son of Abu-Talib Whom the forces of Syria had overshadowed yesterday and He would not go out to fight them and sent them Muhammad and Ibrahim?” But truly and assuredly I shall fight Syria many times and I shall slay them many times. I shall fight their armies at Siffin and I shall bring a new life unto the believer until that thirst for justice in my chest be allayed.

I shall fight for ‘Ammar Yassir and for Uways of Qaran many times. Let none say when? How? and in what manner? and with whose assistance? How shall it be when you shall see the Master of Syria(l.a) saweth men with saws and cutteth them with trowels? But I shall make him(l.a) taste a painful retribution. \n But rejoice now for the cause of all creation reverts unto Me on the morrow.

Let not this claim appear extravagant inasmuch as \n We have been vouchsafed the knowledge of all fates and of all tribulations. and the knowledge of interpretation and of the Revelation and the decisive Discourse (Faslu’l-Khitab) and knowledge of all future calamities and catastrophes.
