The sermon of Ghadeer Khom confirms the following rights and virtues of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) and the Imams after him:

1- Allah has decreed absolute authority for them over the believers, and thus, just like the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY), all their commands must be obeyed unconditionally.

2- Like the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY), they have priority over people, and they have more rights over the believers than what they have over their own souls. They should be preferred over others (in position, sayings, ideas, commands, etc.) for Allah has preferred them.

3- Allah has made them the leaders of the believers and the medium of divine guidance after the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY). They guide people towards the pleasure of Allah, keep them from His disobedience and His wrath, and lead them to Paradise.

4- Allah has made them the guardians of the faithful, who protect their close adherents from evil and misguidance.

5- They are the “Straight Path” of Allah, whom people are ordered to follow.

6- They have all the knowledge of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY). Allah has placed the knowledge of everything in them. They are the inheritors of all branches of knowledge. Particularly, they possess the complete knowledge of religion. They are authorized to expound the religion and explain its commandments and prohibitions.

7- Allah has authorized them to interpret the Holy Quran and to explain its meaning after the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY). No one knows its interpretations, its hidden warnings, and its mysteries except through them. They guide people to the truth of the Quran and call them to it.

8- They are the executors of the will of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) and the deputies of his affairs (Wasi). Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) was the greatest in virtue and rank among the deputies of all the prophets (most of whom were prophets themselves) just as the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) was the greatest among all prophets (PBUT).

9- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) is the most virtuous amongst the creation of Allah so long as creation exists.

10- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) was foremost in accepting Islam and worshipping Allah.

11- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) fought against the enemies of Allah by His command and was the greatest helper of religion.

12- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) was the greatest aid and defender of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY). He fought on his behalf and offered his life as a sacrifice for him. His relation to the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) was that of Aaron to Moses (PBUT).

13- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) was the dearest and the closest to the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY). He is from the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY), and the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) is from him. The Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) called him his brother.

14- The title of “the Commander of the Believers” exclusively belongs to him.

15- Allah and His Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) are pleased with him. All verses of the Holy Quran that express Allah’s satisfaction or praise in their ideal sense have been revealed about him.

16- The divine light, the divine guidance, and the divine leadership have been placed in Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali and the Imams from his descendants up to Imam Mahdi, the last divinely appointed Imam. The earth will never lack an Imam until the Day of Judgement.

17- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali and the Imams of his descendents are the trustees of Allah, His appointed judges, the vessels of divine knowledge[12], the greatest proofs of Allah among His creation, and His exhaustive arguments against them.

18- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali and the pure members of his progeny constitute one of the two weighty symbols besides the Holy Quran. If people adhere to both, they will be never misled. Each one of the two guides to the other and agrees with it.

19- Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali and the Imams of his progeny are the most learned about the religion. The lawful and unlawful things are only those that the book of Allah, the Messenger, and the Imams, have declared so, respectively.

20- The last Imam of his descendants, the Mahdi , shall establish the global kingdom of justice. He will revive Allah’s religion, and will overcome all religions and ideas. He will annihilate falsehood, will purify the earth from the enemies of Allah, will avenge the blood of all the friends of Allah, and will re-establish the rights of Allah, the Prophet , and his family.

In the sermon of Ghadeer Khumm, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) describes the followers and the enemies of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) and the Imams after him, and informs them of their destinies:

1- Those who acknowledge the authority of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) are the triumphant Party of Allah and the true believers who will achieve felicity and a great reward.

2- Whoever doubts any of the Imams has doubted them all, and his abode is the everlasting Hellfire. Whoever doubts the sayings of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) in this sermon concerning them has doubted all of what Allah has revealed to the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) throughout his entire mission. Such a person is accursed and under the wrath of Allah.

3- If anyone chooses a religion other than submission to the guardianship of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ), Allah will never accept it from him, nor will He accept his deeds, and he will be among the losers on the Day of Judgement.

4- Allah loves whoever loves Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ). He keeps up His support, protection, guidance, forgiveness, and mercy for anyone who keeps attached to Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), listens to him, and remains under his guardianship. .

5- Anyone who turns away from Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ), he has rejected Allah’s guardianship and has gone under the guardianship of Satan. Such a person has attained the curse of Allah and His wrath.

6- As long as someone denies Ali’s authority, Allah will never turn to him nor will He ever forgive him. If he dies like that, he will remain in Hell forever. This is a decisive decree by Allah that will never change.

7- The friends of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) are those who believe in his guardianship and never doubt their belief. They detest those who oppose Allah and His Messenger even if they are their closest kin.

8- The enemies of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) are those who turn away from his guardianship, doubt the virtues that Allah has bestowed upon him, are jealous of him, abandon support for him, reject his sayings, disagree with his actions, oppose his commands, or have friendship with those who oppose him.

9- His enemies are the wretched, the misguided, the arrogant, the brothers of Satan, and the rejecters of faith. Their deeds are all in vain. Their lasting punishment will not be lessened, and they will never be pardoned.

10- Those who usurped the rights of the family of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) are the leaders who invite people to Hell. Allah and His Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) are clear of them and their actions. They, their supporters, and their followers will be in the lowest pit of the Hellfire.

During the Sermon, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) stressed that his speech completes Allah’s argument against everyone until the Day of Judgement. After the departure of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY), other members of Ahhlolbayt(PBUT)[13] emphasized this fact as well. Lady Fatima (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), the Prophet’s daughter, said:

فَمَا جَعَلَ الله ُلِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ غَدِيرِ خُم مِنْ حُجَّةٍ وَ لَا عُذْرٍ.

“Allah did not leave any argument or any excuse for anyone after the event of Ghadir Khum.”[14]

Similarly, when Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) addressed the immigrants and the helpers in the Prophet’s Mosque (after they had pledged fealty to Abu Bakr), he reminded them of his exclusive right for the leadership of the community and their covenant with the Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) concerning him. Some of the helpers said to Imam Ali, “O Abul Hasan! Had the helpers heard your arguments before giving their pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr, none would have disputed your rule.” In response to them, Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) said:

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَ كُنْتُ أَدَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مُسَجًّى لَا أُوَارِيهِ وَ أَخْرُجُ أُنَازِعُ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا خِفْتُ أَحَداً يَسْمُو لَهُ وَ يُنَازِعُنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فِيهِ وَ يَسْتَحِلُّ مَا اسْتَحْلَلْتُمُوهُ وَ لَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص تَرَكَ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ لِأَحَدٍ حُجَّةً وَ لَا لِقَائِلٍ مَقَالًا.

“Did you want me to leave the shrouded body of the Messenger of Allah without burial and come out to quarrel for his sovereignty? By Allah! I could not believe anyone would yearn for it, dispute with us Ahhlolbayt(PBUT) in it, and make lawful to do what you did (in usurping our rights). I do not see that the Messenger of Allah (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) left any place for any controversial talks, any plea, or any argument for anyone (by his speech) on the day of Ghadir Khum.”[15]

The above testimonies, among others, show that the speech of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) at Ghadir Khum in defining the position of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) is clear, evident, and definitive, and it exhausts arguments brought by anyone. Thus, it can be presented as a comprehensive proof to everyone.

Seventy days before his demise, when Prophet Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY)[1] was returning to Medina after his last pilgrimage to Mecca, he reached the pond of Khum (Ghadir Khum) near Juhfa. It was the 18th of the month of Dhul-Hijja of the year 10 AH (March 15, 632 AD). By this time, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) had conveyed all of the divine commandments to his nation except for the formal and explicit public announcement of his divinely appointed successors as the leaders, guardians, and guides for the believers for all days to come.

By the order of Allah, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) stopped at the pond of Khum, gathered the crowd of pilgrims, and delivered his last universal speech. In this sermon, he presented his last religious instruction which finalized the last divine religion and made Islam the perfect religion in the sight of Allah. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), the fifth Imam and successor of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) said:

آخِرُ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الْوَلَايَةُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ بَعْدَهَا فَرِيضَةً ثُمَّ نَزَّلَ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ…فَأَقَامَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالْجُحْفَةِ.

“The last obligatory duty that Allah sent down was al-Walaya (adherence to the guardian assigned by Allah). Then, He sent down the verse: ‘Today, I completed your religion…’[2] once the Messenger of Allah established it in Juhfa area.”[3]

This message was the most unique in the entire mission of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) due to the revelation of Verse 67, Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran before his speech. In this revelation, Allah warned His Messenger that failing to deliver this last message would nullify his entire mission. This unprecedented warning proves that this last message contained the most important religious commandment of Allah for the Muslim nation.

Moreover, the contents of this last message were so crucial to the faith that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) emphatically required all those who directly or indirectly heard the sermon of Ghadir Khum to convey it to people who were not aware of its details, and parents to convey it to their children for all generations to come. Hence, this sermon addresses all Muslim generations of the world until the Day of Judgement. This emphasis naturally implies that the content of this message has a vital role in the future of the Muslims, their spiritual health, and their felicity in the Hereafter.

The main issue that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) addressed in his speech in Ghadir Khum was that Allah appointed Ali Ibn Abi Talib (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) as the guardian (Wali), the master (Mawla), the leader (Imam), and the commander (Amir) of all believing men and women, the deputy and the executor of his affairs (Wasi), and his successor (Khalifa). His sayings and commands should be preferred over the opinions of all others in every matter. Obeying him is obeying Allah, and disobeying him is disobeying Allah. Whoever follows him (and his sayings) is a believer under the guardianship of Allah, and whoever turns away from him (or his sayings) is a disbeliever under the guardianship of Satan.

Guardianship (al-Walaya) expresses a bilateral relation between the guardian and the people. Observing al-Walaya by people means adhering to the guardian and acknowledging his authority by heart, tongue, and action. On the other hand, the action of al-Walaya by the guardian means offering protection from evil, spiritual assistance, care, support, and guidance for his adherents. A divinely appointed guardian guards his adherents from misguidance, spiritual destruction, wrongdoing, and sin as much as they adhere to him and his commands. Establishing al-Walaya has been the ultimate goal of religion and the fruit of the entire efforts of Prophet Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) during his mission.

Were there a mistake during the upheaval after the departure of The Holy Prophet S.A., it should not be stressed, because no one can change the past, and believing that Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) should have been the first ruler instead of the fourth would have no consequence in today’s life.

This viewpoint ultimately led some to believe that the differences between the Shia and the Sunnis are limited to some minor historical disagreements, which do not have any bearing on their salvation in the Hereafter, and that their beliefs are the same; thus, they should abandon their differences for the sake of their prosperity in the life of this world.

By considering the issue of successorship to be a matter of political rule, they have unknowingly belittled the goals and the achievements of Allah’s Messenger and his successors, peace be upon them, for historical records show that, due to a lack of sincere supporters, they were unable to implement their ideal divine government. Besides, most of the Shia Imams (PBUT) never attempted to implement their own government and used to refer those who questioned their stance[9] to Imam Mahdi (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) who will appear at the end of time and will establish the Kingdom of Justice on earth.

On the other hand, a brief look at the sermon of Ghadir shows that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) wanted to pass on much more than political authority to Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) and the Imams after him. An examination of his words shows that they are the guardians that Allah appointed, and people must acknowledge their authority inside their hearts and follow them in all aspects of life. People will benefit from them as their Imams and will be rewarded by Allah only if they accept them willingly and not through political dominion. Whether or not the guardians that Allah appointed become a ruling authority, the believers of all generations have a duty to abide by their instructions. Therefore, it is not too late to follow their commands, accept them as guardians, submit to them, prefer their sayings over one’s own and other’s opinions, consider them as the center of truth, evaluate everything by their standard, and keep aloof from their enemies who opposed their commands.

It is also interesting to observe that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) mentioned the titles Wali, Mawla, and Imam for Ali (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) in his sermon over 27 times, whereas he used the word Khalifa for him only three times. Even under the Sunni implication of the word Khalifa (successor)—which limits it to political rule—it is clear that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) stressed spiritual leadership in his speech, which would guarantee the salvation of those who follow the Imam, and would lead them towards Paradise. Worldly issues never took priority for the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) and his successors. Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Alihimself has said:

وَ اللَّهِ لَدُنْيَاكُمْ هَذِهِ أَهْوَنُ فِي عَيْنِي مِنْ عِرَاقِ خِنْزِيرٍ فِي يَدِ مَجْذُوم.

“By Allah, this world of yours is more despicable in my eyes than a pig bone in the hand of a leper.”[10]

Certainly, had the majority of people followed the sayings of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) concerning the divinely appointed guide, he would have naturally come to power. Thus, Imam Ali’s exclusive qualification for political rule is only one of the natural outcomes of the guardianship (Walaya) that the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) established for him on behalf of Allah on the day of Ghadir. In this manner, the spiritual authority of Molana Ameerol momenen Alimam Ali(PEACE BE UPON HIM ) and his pure descendants is still effective over the remaining believers until the Day of Judgement, irrespective of the support of the majority of people for them or their political authority.

Believing in the Imam’s virtues in one’s heart and adhering to his words in disguise (al-Taqiyya) under tyrannical rule are not only sufficient for salvation in the Hereafter but also rewarded many-fold, because observing faith is more difficult at times of terror and fear. According to the traditions, worship during the days of tyrannical government is more rewarding for the believers than worship during the time of the just government, though this fact should not prevent the believers from praying to Allah for the manifestation of the Kingdom of Justice on earth by Imam al-Mahdi (PEACE BE UPON HIM ).

“Certainly, I just conveyed what I have been ordered to convey as an argument against everyone, be him present or absent, a direct witness or not, and already born or not yet born. Hence, everyone who is present should convey (this sermon) to those who are absent, every parent should convey it to his/her children, (and they should continue to do so) until the Day of Judgement.”

سورة القدر - Recitation Of The Holy Quran - The Chapter 097

In the view of many of our scholars, one instance of \"al-Kawthar\" is lady Fatima (a) and her husband Mulana Ameerol Momineen Alimam Ali and their eleven infallible children and descendants, the true successors of the Holy Prophet S.A., because the chapter was revealed in response to those who had claimed that the Prophet (s) had no progeny.

Instances of \"al-Kawthar\" are variously interpreted as the Pond of Kawthar, the Heaven, an abundance of the good, prophethood, the Holy Qur\'an, the great number of his companions, and intercession. + In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. Indeed We have given you abundance. 1 So pray to your Lord, and sacrifice the sacrificial camel.2 Indeed it is your enemy who is without posterity. 3
