Chakwal Syed Imran Haider Naqvi Rawalpindi mobile no. 0333-5231475 Translation by Syed Jazib Raza Kazmi www.wilayatmission.com Translation Dedicated In the Memory Of Our Late Grandfather & Late Uncle We would like to ask all momineen to recite al Fatiha for them. Inna illahi wa inna illahi rajeoon Translation by Syed Jazib Raza Kazmi www.wilayatmission.com 1 Warning Praying is the right of momins only. A munafiq does not even have the right to stand on the prayer mat. The more a munafiq will pray the greater his punishment will be. This is the right for momins only because prayer lives throughout the whole body, in his life, heart, breath, and blood. When he stands for prayers, he thinks only of Imam Zamana (ajf). When he reads “Ahdena Siratul Mustaqeem”, he understands the “true path” is the wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as). When he does rukoo, he thinks of the One who gave the zakat in the state of rukoo. When he goes in sajda, he thinks of that sajda performed by Imam Hussain (as) in Karbala. When He put His head down for that sajda, He never lifted it. When he reads tashahud, he declares the wilayat of Ali (as) as the center of his testimony. This is why momin and prayer are compulsory on each other. They cannot be separated. There are some people who claim to be momin, but they deny the orders of Allah. You must be aware of these people. They do wrong things, but momins are the ones who are accused. We have clearly disassociated ourselves from such fake shia. Therefore, no one has the right to associate these fake shia with Momineen. Translation by Syed Jazib Raza Kazmi www.wilayatmission.com 2 Clarification Some people asked me “How many people are in my company and what the name of my company is?” For the knowledge of these friends, I openly announce I have no group, team, or company. I do not even have a publisher. Whatever I have done or am doing, I am doing completely by myself. No one helps me nor do I help anyone in their work. I only rely on my Imam (ajf) and ask help only from Him. My peer, master, leader, and marja is only the Imam of this time, Imam Zamana (ajf). I do not need anyone except my Moula (as). I only look towards my Moula (as). I am not responsible for what others do. Translation by Syed Jazib Raza Kazmi www.wilayatmission.com 3 In Honor Of I give this simple attempt to Him.  who is the greatest, Ali (as)  who is the creator of the universe  who gives nourishment to the creation  fortunes are written and removed by His orders  one who is Ali (as), who is superior, who is more superior, who is most superior  who is great, is greater, is the greatest  who is merciful, more merciful, most merciful  who is glorious, more glorious, the most glorious  who is exalted, more exalted, the most exalted One who was loved the most in this world, and one who was most hated in this world. May my parents be sacrificed on this sacred essence.
