[10] In the Quran, it is also described as a wall between Paradise and Hell.

[10] In the Quran, it is also described as a wall between Paradise and Hell. [11] Ibn Abbas explained that Araf is a high place on the Sirat (bridge over Hell), where Imam Ali (AS), Hazrat Hamza (AS), Jafar al-Tayyar, and Abbas stand. They recognize their friends, who have radiant faces, and their enemies, who have dark faces.

[12] Hazrat Hamza (AS) as a Guardian of Masjid al-Haram Verse 34 of Surah Al-Anfal (Quran 8) is another verse associated with Hazrat Hamza (AS) in narration: “Why should Allah not punish them while they prevent others from praying in the Sacred Mosque? Their guardianship is only for the pious, but most of them do not know” . [13] Guardianship of Masjid al-Haram was a prestigious role, and the disbelievers of Mecca considered themselves more deserving than the guardians.

Allah refuted this and said that the true guardians of the Mosque are the pious. Ibn Abbas narrates that the phrase “they were not its guardians” refers to the Meccan disbelievers. The real guardians are the righteous, such as Imam Ali (AS), Hazrat Hamza (AS), Jafar, and Aqil. [14] Purity of Heart from Malice and Envy One of the greatest challenges in life, leading to social conflicts and harming spiritual peace, is malice and envy.

[15] Allah describes the residents of Paradise: “And We removed from their hearts any rancor, and they lie on facing couches” . [16] According to narrations, this verse refers to the noble individuals Imam Ali (AS), Hazrat Hamza (AS), Jafar al-Tayyar, Aqil, Abu Dharr, Salman al-Farsi, Ammar Yasir, Muqaddad, Hasan, and Husayn (AS), from whom Allah removed grudges and envy.

[17] The Friends of Allah (Awliya Allah) A narration from the Prophet (S) mentions that among Allah’s servants are those whom even the prophets envy. They love one another without worldly possessions, their faces shine with light, they are fearless when others are afraid, and they are not saddened when others are distressed.

The Prophet identified them as Imam Ali (AS), Hazrat Hamza (AS), Jafar, and Aqil, citing the verse: “Indeed, the friends of Allah, no fear will be upon them, nor will they grieve” . [18] Defender of the Prophet (S), Fighter in the Way of Allah Striving in the way of Allah and fighting the Prophet’s enemies is a distinctive virtue of Hazrat Hamza (AS). Verse 19 of Surah Al-Hajj (Quran 22) reflects this.
