Whenever troublemakers created trouble the Prophet sent his

cousin, Ali (a.s) to suppress the enemies and Ali (a.s) did not sheath

his sword before killing the mischief-makers. Not only this, in times of

Jihad, Ali (a.s) risked his life fully but never hesitated to fulfill

the command of God and His Messenger. He left no stone unturned in

fulfilling every wish of the Prophet. He is

closest to the Prophet and is the chief of all the friends of God. He is

ever ready to serve His religion and Muslims in every possible way. He

is the greatest well-wisher of the Muslim society and is always trying

his best to invite men to the right path of Islam. But the fact is that

you have slackened in your faith and have become accustomed to easy life

and luxury. You are almost drowned in the wrong kind of worldly desires

and lusts. It seems you were waiting to see us surrounded by

difficulties and subjected to the worst kind of oppression. So when we

came to this type of trouble you distanced from us. Now when Almighty

God has called up His Messenger to Him you revealed the old enmity,

which was boiling in your hearts against us. You clothed yourselves in

your earlier garments of ignorance and began to talk in the earlier

hostile language against us and started to malign us, singings hateful

songs again and to dance like an intoxicated camel. Now Satan has taken

control of your minds and hearts. The devil is constantly inviting you

to him and is drawing you to himself so easily. Now selfishness has

reached such a peak that you stamp other’s camel with your mark claiming

to be yours. You are encroaching upon others’ land and claiming it to be

yours falsely. Not much time has passed since the Holy Prophet’s sad

demise and the wounds on our hearts are still fresh. But you forgot

every fact. You snatched the right of Ali (a.s) in the matter of

caliphate. You are in an illusion that this deed of yours has suppressed

public unrest. It is certainly not so. Beware; you have fanned a fire of

discontent as a result of which hellfire will very soon devour the

Woe unto you, O people! Where you are going? What are you doing? Where

are your thoughts wavering? Perhaps you do

not remember that God’s Book is in front of you and among you and its

command is clear. Its commands and prohibitions are forever. You have
