Do you which day this is?

Do you which day this is?” They all cried out, “Yes, this is the inviolable country, and the inviolable month, and the inviolable day.” [1] Encyclopedia of Imam Ameerul Mo'minin Ali bin Abi Talib, vol. 2 p. 71-72.

The Prophet (a.s.) began announcing his high values saying, “Allah has prohibited to you your bloods and your properties**[1]** as the inviolability of this country, as the inviolability of this month, and as the inviolability of this day… Have I informed?” They all said, “Yes, you have.” The Prophet (a.s.) added, “Fear Allah and do not diminish the things of people, and do not act corruptly in the land.

Whoever has had a trust, let him give it back to its owner…People in Islam are equal…all are from Adam and Eve. There is no preference for an Arab to a foreigner or for a foreigner to an Arab except by the fear of Allah…Have I informed?” They all said, “Yes, you have.” He said, “O Allah, bear witness! Do not come to me with your lineages**[2]** but come to me with your deeds…Have I informed?” They said, “Yes, you have.” He added, “O Allah, bear witness.

Every blood (that was shed) in the pre-Islamic era is put under my foot, and the first blood that I put under my foot is the blood of Rabee’ah bin al-Harith bin Abdul Muttalib. Have I informed?’ They said, “Yes.” He said, “O Allah, bear witness.” Then he said, “Every usury in the pre-Islamic era is put under my foot, and the first usury that I put under my foot is the usury of al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib.

Have I informed?” [1] Allah has prohibited to shed each other’s blood or to seize each other’s property unlawfully.

[2] Do not pride on… They said, “Yes, you have.” He said, “O Allah, bear witness.” Then he said, “O people, postponement (of the sacred month) is only an excess in disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one year and forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of the months which Allah hath hallowed… I recommend you to be kind to women for they are deposits with you. They are weak.

You have taken them by the deposit of Allah, and married them by the Book of Allah. You have rights on them and they have rights on you. They have a right on you that you provide them with clothes and sustenance, and you have a right on them that they should not betray you with anyone in your beds, and not permit anyone into your houses except with your knowledge and permission.
