Suratol Bayyena is the 98th chapter of the Holy Quran in the actual arrangement. It is comprised of 9 verses including Bismellah. Please let’s listen together to this holy chapter+The need of referring to an infallible Messenger or his immaculate successors and the necessity of obeying them can be explained, saying

These hypocrite people deprived the orphans of the Holy Prophet S.A. of their rights, were heedless to the dues of the destitute members of his family, and prayed without holding God in remembrance, forgetting the objective behind prayer. Their charitable acts are a display of their false piety, since they do not give for the love of God.

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

The verse is a definite proof of hypocrisy of the people who claim to be Muslims, but are oblivious of their guardianship, especially the first, the second, the third false caliphs, their partisans and followers who have denied the Wilaya of the divine twelve infallible leaders A.S. since the martyrdom of the Holy Prophet S.A. and snatched their divinely ordained position (caliphate).

How one prays and how one gives. The words: “How one prays?” indicate the status of a servant about the divine obligations, and the words: “How one gives?” demonstrate his status concerning the humane duties. There is a strict relation between our smallest acts and our happiness, here and hereafter.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad, The Lady Fatima and the twelve infallible Imams A.S. have been chosen from among the greatest signs of Allah. Then, men are in loss, Except those who believe in these greatest signs of Allah and their infallibility, guardianship and mission. .....

and enjoin each other with the patience and Constancy – meaning during the longer occultation of Almam AlMahdi Ajtf and thereafter; or during the crises and difficulties resulting from the divine trials; or when being lured by the worldly amusements or when being oppressed by the apparent or hidden enemies, for the reason that they have a lot of faith in vilaya or the guardianship of the Fourteen Infallibles A.S.

One (believer in the guardianship of The Fourteen Infallibles A.S.) who recites this Surah (Al Asr), Allah azwj would Write ten Rewards for him, and Give him a good end, and he would be from the companions of the Truth. And moreover if suratolAsr is recited upon what is buried underneath the ground or stored, Allah azwj would Protect it, until its owner takes it out.

That is why, indeed, tests and trials have been absolutely necessary to distinguish the true believers from the hypocrites and to mark them accordingly.
Hence, life is a long series of tests for every servant of God. Testing the servants and separating the true believers from the liars and hypocrites has been a permanent tradition of Allah. That is why the trials have been establishing, since the creation of Adam (A.S.).

It is incredible that despite the Holy Prophet of Allah having left two weighty things to hold on to firmly, most of the commentaries compiled on the Holy Quran are primarily based on some sciences such as theology, philosophy, logic, Mysticism, jurisprudence and historical accounts and even experimental sciences.
Ahadeeth or narrations and traditions of the Holy Prophet, the Lady Fatima and the Twelve infallible Imams A.S. as the introduced qualified commentators of the Holy Quran, are given less significance - leaving a bigger field for the personal deviant views, and hence resulting in many sects within Muslims!

According to the verses of the Holy Quran and the confirmed traditions of the Holy Prophet of Allah (S.A.), we are confident that there had been a great number of hypocrites among His companions.
Moreover, sorry to say, the same reality has persisted among the Muslim community, since martyrdom of the Holy Prophet S.A. Therefore hypocrisy as a character, has a long history among the self-called Muslims, especially among the politicians, scholars, commanders and economic evils.
