None can equal the progeny of Muhammad (s.

None can equal the progeny of Muhammad (s.a.w.a) in these qualities and perfection.[^1] • From our (Ahlul Bayt (a.s)) virtues and excellence, nothing has been related to you but a single alphabet from all the alphabets.[^2] • (O Ahlul Bayt (a.s))! Indeed, Allah, the Almighty, has placed you at a station inaccessible to others. Your virtues are unprecedented and none can overwhelm you in them.

None can scale the heights that you have scaled and none can hope to rise to the rank that you have ascended. (Imam Ali Naqwi (a.s) in the Ziyaarat –e – Jaamea’h Surely, man’s power of comprehension and conception are simply incapable of perceiving their exhorted status.

Therefore, let us bow our heads before the Ahlul Bayt (a.s) (in submission and expression of our helplessness) and enrich our hearts with the words of Imam Sadeq (a.s): “ One who desire that his faith attains perfection, must sincerely confess, ‘My belief in all instances and under all circumstances is in conformity with the teachings of th Ahlul Bayt (a.s), explicit or otherwise.

I acknowledge absolute faith in all those things that have reached and that which have not reached unto me from them (a.s).[^3] From the garden of Light and Knowledge of the Pure Ahlul Bayt (a.s), we present a bouquet of fragrant flowers to their lovers. It should be borne in mind that the dimensions and facets of Imam’s (a.t.f.s.) government are too diverse for man to grasp.

The things that have reached unto us in the form of reliable and authentic tradition are just a few from among the thousands. We beseech the Almighty Allah to increase our faith and certitude in our master, Imam Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), every moment. Light up the eyes of the believing friends with the sight of his (a.t.f.s.) government. Accept their supplications.

Let the invocation taught by the Imam (a.t.f.s.), who is concealed from the eyes but close to the heart, flow on their tongues: اللهم إنّا نرغب إليك في دولة كريمة، تعزز بها الاسلام و اهله، وتذل بها النفاق و أهله، و تجعلنا فيها من الدعاة الى طاعتك، و القادة الى سبيلك، و ترزقنا بها كرامة الدنيا و الآخرة، آمين رب العالمين. “O Allah! Surely we are inclined to you concerning the noble government (of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.)). Though which you will honour Islam and its followers.

And though which you will degrade hypocrisy and its followers. And make us in it among those who invite (others) towards your obedience. And the leaders towards your path.
