When he came into this world on the day of mid-Sha`ban
-it is reported as such in the narrations
that he was born on the fifteenth of Sha`ban-
When he was born...
-it is reported as such in the narrations
that he was born on the fifteenth of Sha`ban-
When he was born
a light came forth from this newborn and
this light reached the highest point of heavens.
What kind of soul and spirituality is this that
(causes) this body due to the supremacy of its inner spiritual light,
to become so radiant.
There is a limit to for how far the lights illuminating property can reach.
This light (of al-Mahdi) reaches the ends of those limits.
Furthermore, the Sun's light has its limit.
The light that shined forth when the Master of our Time was born,
this light reached the highest heavens.
Anyway, in Samarrah
a sun rose on mid-Sha`ban that
lit the throne of Allah.
When he spoke his first sentences while
putting his hands on the ground (prostrating for God), he said,
"Allah bears witness that there is no god except Him
and (also bear witness) the angels and the people of knowledge.
Maintaining His creation with justice.
There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.”
He recited the verse of shahadah (bearing witness).
Then he recited this sentence,
"Verily, the religion with (and accepted by) Allah is only Islam."
Now, let those who are the contemplating type think.
Those who are acquainted with Qur`anic sciences,
know what
kind of station the Shahadah verse has!
The verse of Shahadah is this:
"Allah bears witness that there is no god except Him
and (also bear witness) the angels and the people of knowledge.
Maintaining His creation with justice.
The word with the highest (status) is 'There is no god but Allah'.
This was the condition of his birth and
speaking in this way has a detailed explanation of its own.
If the opportunity arises,
God willing, I will talk about it in detail.
Now I can only give some brief pointers.
The most important word is 'There is no god but Allah'.
But there is a secret reason why the word 'He' was used (in the aforementioned verse).
That which bears witness (to this point) is the chapter of Tawhid.
"Say: He is one."
It begins with the word 'He'.
"Say: He is one."
First the word 'He' (is used) then (the word) 'Allah'.
In the verse of Shahadah there is no "There is no god but Allah."
In the verse of Shahadah there is "there is no god except Him".
"Allah bears witness that there is no god except Him..."
First (in the verse), there is the bearing witness of Allah,
then the bearing witness of the angels and
then the bearing witness of the people of knowledge.
What is he bearing witness to? "there is no god except Him."
The first sentence that
was uttered by the Imam of our Time was the (aforementioned) sentence.
To sum it up, the sentence that
all of the prophets and chosen people (of God) reached at the end,
this was the first word of his first day (in this world)!
This is who the Imam of our Time is!
He said, "Allah bears witness that there is no god except Him
and (also bear witness) the angels and the people of knowledge. Maintaining His creation with justice.
There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.”
Then, "Verily, the religion with (and accepted by) Allah is only Islam."
Nothing else needs to be said.
In the sentence, "Verily, the religion with (and accepted by) Allah is only Islam," there is wonderment.
On this first day of his birth he said what he was going to do at the end.
