So that...

So that, that ignorant opinion which was like a worm, would had died and disappeared. The people of the Arab Island were groaning from that worm, just as the green and fresh lawns groan from the groups of locusts because they change the farm to a dry and burning desert. In behind of the usurpation of caliphate by Umar- that Abubakr approved it, there was an explanation. It was the poverty of the Arab Island and its need to the attributes which Imarn Ali (p.b.u.h.) had possessed them.

His truth raised him to the boundary of the executorship. But still the waves of active reflection which influenced the others, and attracted them completely, had not abtained for it, and the society had not approached to that magnet pole. So exercise and practice are two important factors to flourish and making the talents active. These factors lead the society from simplicity and stupidity to activities.

Therefore, we perceive that Imarn' Ali possessed so comprehensive virtues that the society and people could benefit from them. When the angle of death (malak- ol-mowt) was taking the prophet's soul toward the exalted God, his spirit was reflecting only in Imarn Ali's soul. While in the society that prophetic mission, work it up from ignorance and neglect, there was not a pure and aware heart, until his cautious reality reflect in it.

And this was the reason of hurry of Umar for appointing a governor, who catches the power in hand, before an aware person comes and points to Imam Ali and invites him to the seat of government. From that time till now, the aim of prophetic mission has not completely been accomplished in the society. Whenever the society walked one step forward, apostasy put it back two steps, and left it in a deep ignorance.

I repeat that If the role of prophetic mission - just as it was destined - was accepted in the society, there was not need to introduce the succession; and it wasn't necessary that Hajj to be described by the word "AI- Veda". But the word "AI - Vesal"- (union) had been used. Because, in these circumstances, the society had accepted true leadership and consequently prophetic mission, existed in the society constantly.

And "executorship" that - like the sun in the endless sky of prophetic- mission had manifested-, was under taking the leadership of the society. The miracle of the prophetic mission, in taking away the roots of ignorance, developing the society, and leading it toward unity, would have been present.
