Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Journey of the Unseen World Chapter 1b - the Station of the Grave and the Beginning of Barzakh Westward Travel Actually, "I am the relationship of love and friendship which you had with Imam Ali and the Ahlebait of the Holy Prophet.

My meeting and helping a person depends upon the strength of that relationship, that is to say, it depends upon his capability I'm called the Haadi (the guide) because the love of Ahlebait guides a man towards good deeds, but only according to his capability. In other words, I was your guide as far as you are concerned and Ali is the Imam, guide and leader of all the pious people on earth.

And the Holy Quran, 'that is the Book, there is no doubt in it, it is a guidance for the pious.' this book and myself we are your guides to the extent of the connections and relations which you had with us And 'One who disowns tempestuousness and believes in God, then verily he has taken hold of the strong rope which is not going to break. And so I am not going to part with you, unless you yourself part with me through following your carnal desires. This is why I am called Abul Wata.

The (father of Faithfulness) and Abu Turab (Father of Earth). (Here who author has embodied the love of Ahlebait to show how this love will come to help in all situations. The famous tradition of the Holy Prophet says; song who dies loving of the Progeny of Mohammed, dies a Martyr". Imam Mohammed Baqir stated to Abu Khalid Kabuli "O, Abu Khalid! By God, the love of Ahlebait illuminates the heart of the faith rut like the sun illuminates the day". Imam shaafai says.

"I firmly hold on to the rope (covenant) of Allah, as we have been commanded, and this is the love of Ahlebait". But it should be pointed out that mere vows of love are not sufficient unless one's deeds are also in accordance. The eighth Imam, Raze (A.S.) said: awe do not, have a permit to free any one from the flames of Half. And our intercession cannot overcome Divine Justice. One who is obedient to Allah is our friend, and the one who is disobedient is our foe"'.

This shows that a claim of love and friendship of Ahlebait will hold only when backed with deeds which are according to Ahlebait's wishes and desires.
