[56] Appendix: Additional Ahadith on the Belief & Rights and Supplications In Appendix, some basic principles of Islam are outlined, as indicated in the introduction, a detailed teaching syllabus for children, based on the Ahadith of Masomeen -asws , is uploaded under the heading of ‘School of Wilayat’ (SOW) ( http://www.schoolofwilayat.com/ ).

The Five Pillars of Religion: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَشْيَاءَ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ الْحَجِّ وَ الصَّوْمِ وَ الْوَلَايَةِ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Abdullah Bin Al Salt, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Zurara, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Al-Islam is built upon five things – upon the Salat, and the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Soam (Fasting), and the Wilayah’.

قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَقُلْتُ وَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ الْوَلَايَةُ أَفْضَلُ لِأَنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُهُنَّ وَ الْوَالِي هُوَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَيْهِنَّ Zurara said, ‘So I said, ‘And which thing from these is most superior?’ He -asws said: ‘The Wilayah is the most superior, because it is their key, and the Guardian -asws , he -asws is the evidence upon these’.

[57] The Wilayat: Therefore, fasting, as part of worshiping, will only be beneficial, if one understands the essence of Wilayat and strives sincerely to comply with its obligations. Let’s briefly review the meanings of Wilayat and how to fulfil its requirements so that all our deeds are accepted.

In Tafseer-e-Namoona the meanings of Wilayat are: guardianship in meeting all needs; absolute authority over religious as well as temporal affairs and the govern-ship, these three aspects, which encompass all physical and spiritual aspects of Allah -azwj ’s created species.
