Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books All Solutions are with the Prophet’s Progeny “Then I was Guided” in the court Believing that “people are on the religion of their rulers” and taking the Messenger of Allah (S) as my exemplar that he had sent many letters to the kings of his time inviting them to Islam; an idea came to my mind.
In his somehow similar letters to the kings of his time, the Messenger of Allah (S) had said, “ Be Muslim and you shall be safe and Allah will reward you twice, but if you turn your back, the sin of the magi shall be on you. ” This is evidence that “people are on the religion of their kings” that if the kings believe, people believe, if they disbelieve, people disbelieve, and if they become polytheists, people become polytheists too.
The idea that preoccupied my mind was to send copies of my book ‘ Then I was Guided ’ to the Arab kings and presidents accompanying them with friendly letters befitting their positions so that they might remember (Allah), for surely their reminding would benefit the believers! Since they are at the head of the countries of this nation, so they are the men of power and authority, and their responsibility for the fate of people and the fate of the Muslim nation is a very great responsibility.
“ Every one of you is a shepherd (responsible) and every one of you is responsible for his herd (subjects) ” as the Prophet (S) said.
Believing that the successful ones in this life and the afterlife are the true believers who do good, enjoin each other with truth, and enjoin each other with patience, and that “ No one of you is a true believer until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself ”, and “ if Allah guides by you one man, it is better to you than the world and all that there is in it ”…for all that, I sent copies of ‘Then I was Guided’ to King Hasan the Second of Morocco, President ash-Shathli bin Jadid of Algeria, President Zaynol Aabidin bin Ali of Tunisia, President Mu’ammar al-Qadhdhafi of Libya, King Husayn bin Talal of Jordan and his brother (heir apparent) Hasan bin Talal, and to King Fahad ibn Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia.
I sent each book with a special dedication and a letter of high reverence by registered mail. The copies of the book were received by all consignees. I knew that from the receipts I received from the post office that had the signatures of the secretaries of all the kings and presidents I sent the book to.
