This is because they are...

This is because they are: the source of revelation and the meaning of its exposition; the elect of the Lord of Majesty; The place of Gibrael, Al-Ameen\u2019s descent; the words of the attributes of Allah -azwj ; His secret and His words; the tree of Prophet hood; the source of chivalry; the essence of all opinions; the ultimate meaning and signification; the station of apostolic wisdom; the illumination of majesty in proximity to Allah -azwj , and in His care the location of Allah -azwj \u2019s word; the key to his wisdom; the lamps of Allah -azwj \u2019s mercy; the well springs of His bounty; the path that leads to Allah -azwj -the salsabeel-the Qistaas al Mustaqeem (the upright scale) the straight path; the remembrance (full) of wisdom; the noble face; the eternal light; possessors of honour and repute; take precedence over all noble and exalted; the successors of the noble Prophet -saww ; the progeny of the compassionate and gentle (Prophet -saww ); we are the progeny of one from the other, in the custody of the most High, the most Mighty- Allah -azwj knows all and observes all of these.

\n These are the immense and unmistakable signs of guidance and the straight path. Whosoever recognises them -asws and takes (guidance) from them -asws , he belongs to us. As per Rasool Allah -saww \u2019s statement, \u201cHe who follows me, surely he is from me\u201d, is an allusion to this (reality). Allah -azwj created them (Prophets household) from the illumination of his majesty and entrusted them with the governing of the affairs of His -azwj kingdom.

(Thus there is no doubt) they are the treasured secret of Allah -azwj and His friends, those who are near (Awliya al-Muqarraboon). \n Allah -azwj \u2019s (creative) command is between the letter \u2018Kaaf\u2019 and the letter \u2018Nun\u2019.

In fact they are the \u2018Kaaf\u2019 and the \u2018Nun\u2019 since they invite to Allah -azwj , speak only what they receive from Him and carry out His commands.\u00a0 The knowledge of all the Prophets, the (divine) mysteries of the Ausiyaa and the power and glory of the Auliyaa, in comparison to them -asws , is like a drop out of an ocean and a grain out of a desert.

Indeed, the heavens and the earth to the Imam are like the hand and its palm.\u00a0 He recognises what is visible as well as what is hidden; He knows the pious among the sinners; what is in the wet and within the dry forms.
