Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Discussion On Imam-e-zaman Supplement George Jordache! You don’t desire Ali! Ali’s God gave you a fourth Ali but let him all alone in corner of the Masjid al-Haram (Ka’bah) and sought others! She continued till he reached to this point: O George Jordache! There is one Ali now in our midst and on the face of this very earth.

In daylight and public view, he forces Hazrat Musa Ibn Jafar (a.s.) to migrate from Medina to Baghdad and imprisons him92 but not a single Muslim questions his actions!

Then really, you don’t desire Ali! Now, if Allah manifests Imam-e-Zaman (a.t.f.s.), what will you do with him?
