و إن بولايتي أكمل الله لهذه الامة دينهم...

و إن بولايتي أكمل الله لهذه الامة دينهم، و أتم عليهم النعم، و رضي لهم إسلامهم، إذ يقول يوم الولاية لمحمد (صلى الله عليه و آله): يا محمد، أخبرهم أني أكملت لهم اليوم دينهم، و أتممت عليهم النعم، و رضيت لهم إسلامهم، كل ذلك من الله به علي فله الحمد And that it was by my -asws Wilayah, Allah -azwj Perfected for this community, their Religion, and Completed the Favours upon them, and was Pleased for them with their Islam, when He -azwj was Saying on the Day of Al-Wilayah: “O Muhammad -saww !

Inform them that I -azwj Perfected for them their Religion, and Completed the Favours upon them, and am Pleased for them with their Islam. All that, Allah -azwj Conferred upon me -asws . So for Him -azwj is the Praise’’. [36] What is the Religion? وروي محمد بن جمهور، عن عبد الرحمان بن كثير، عن أبي جميلة، عن أبي اسامة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله عزوجل (أرأيت الذي يكذب بالدين) قال: بالولاية.

يعني إن الدين هو الولاية And it has been reported from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer, from Abu Jameela, from Abu Asaama, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Have you considered him who belied the Religion? [107:1] . The Imam -asws said: ‘(Belied) the Wilayah. It means that the Religion (itself) is Al-Wilayah.

ويؤيده: قوله تعالى (إن الدين عند الله الاسلام) وهولا يتم إلا بالولاية، لانه سبحانه يوم فرض الولاية قال: (اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الاسلام دينا).

فلولا الولاية لم يكمل الدين، ولم تتم النعمة، ولم يرض الله سبحانه لنا دين الاسلام And it is supported by the Words of the Exalted: The Religion in the Presence of Allah is Al-Islam [3:19] , and it is not complete except by Al-Wilayah, because the Glorious One -azwj Said on the day that He -azwj Obligated the Wilayah: Today I Perfected your Religion for you and Completed My Favour upon you, and am Pleased with Al-Islam as a Religion for you [5:3] .

Had it not been for Al-Wilayah, the religion would not have been perfected, nor would the Favours have been completed, nor would Allah -azwj the Glorious have been Pleased for us with the Religion of Al-Islam.

فلاجل ذلك صار الدين الولاية، فتمسك بها تكن من أهلها الموالين وقل عند لك: الحمد لله رب العالمين It is for that reason Al-Wilayah became the Religion, therefore attach yourselves to it, you would become from its people, the Al-Mawaleen (those with Al-Wilayah)’, and say during that, ‘The Praise is for Allah -azwj , Lord -azwj of the Worlds’’. [37] Why was the Religion Perfected?
