With the departure of the Holy Prophet from the world...
With the departure of the Holy Prophet from the world, as the people of Moses and Jesus went astray so also the Muslim. The love of pleasures and the glory of this world maddened the masses and led them astray from the right path, under the evil in- fluence of those in power.
To get the religious authority and the powers to rule over the destinies of the people, the self-assumed rulers of the states, the self- made religious heads and the fanciful spiritual leaders, misinterpreted the Holy Qur'an and abdeh much of falsehood to the Traditions or the Sayings of the Holy prophet, end many false traditions were fabricated to assume unwarranted powers end authority.
At the same time, to see that the messes do not get rightly guided by the Holy Ahlul-Bait, the Ahlul-Bait were thrown into the background.
They were not only totally naglected but also teasad end tortured and all acceass to them by the public was strictly banneb anb if any one was found to have any friendly contact with these holy ones, he was severely punished even to the extent of his propety being confiscated, his family being put to all sorts of torturous miseries end himself being mercilessly killed.
But a very faw who feared but God and cared not for any loss of property or the pleasures af this world against the perpetual gain and the everlasting bliss in the life hereafter, suffered the tortures and kept themselves feithfully ettached in the Holy Ahlul Bait, to be on the right path.
Some such godly devotees like Meesam Amanar and others of his group were heartlessly tortured, which they bore with ideal patience and some were mercilessly putr to death,but the great soule most willingly met even the most painful death with matchless courage and boldnees but nevers gave up their attachemnt to the Holy Ones.
When Islam was being corrupted at the hands of the aspirants for power and pleasures of this world, and the Holy Ahlul-bait Were ignorrd , those who resorted to the right guidance from the right authorities were tortured and put to miseries and torturous death.
It can be imagined how deep was He Truth buried and how difficult it was for any one to have it, but Truth was always there with the Ahlul-Bait end none could snatch it sway from them at any cost, but only a very few, the sincere and bold ones, could have it.
