THE MOST MISERABLE VICTIMS

May hamd (praise) be to Allahu ta’ala, who is the Rabb of everything, that is, who creates and raises all beings! May goodnesses and salvations be upon our beloved Prophet, Muhammad ‘alaihis-salam’, who has guided us to the right way. May benedictions be over his close relatives and over his Ashab (companions), who had the honor of believing in him and seeing his beautiful and luminous face!

Of all the seventy-two different miscreant groups who have deviated from the right way in this world, which is a place of examination for mankind and an open space of ground whereon the good are distinguished from the bad, haters of the As-hab-i¬kiram are the most staunch followers of the devil and the most miserable victims of the deceitful human nafs, so much so that they have already surpassed the devil in this respect. These people make a show of excessive love for the close relatives and the children of our Prophet ‘sall-Allahu alaihi wa sallam’, and say that loving them is the greatest worship. They claim to be adherent to the ayat-i-karima [1] that purports, “I do not demand any return for having brought you the Islamicreligion. All I want from you is to love my Ahl-i-Bayt, who are close to me.” Yet the evil cult they actually adhere to is based on vituperating, cursing Rasulullah’s ‘sall-Allahu alaihi wa sallam’ As-hab ‘radiy-Allahu anhum ajma’in’, who are Islam’s greatest teachers. Some of them go even further, so that they censure our master the Messenger of Allah ‘sall-Allahu alaihi wa sallam’ and even Jebrail ‘alaihissalam’, the trustworthy Archangel who carried the Wahy [2] from Allahu ta’ala. They consider this wicked behaviour of theirs as a worship.
