IMAM ALI (AS)'S SERMON WITHOUT ANY DOTS
All praise be to Allah, the
Praised King, the Affectionate
Owner, the Fashioner of all who
are born, the Recourse of every
downtrodden, the Out stretcher
of lands, the Establisher of
firm mountains, the sender of
rains, the Alleviator of
difficulties, the Knower and
Perceiver of secrets, the
Destroyer of kingdoms, and
Perisher of possessions, the
Renewer of eras and their
Repitator, the Source of all
things and their Destination.
Widespread is His Generosity and
sufficient are the layered
clouds and the supply of rain.
He responds to the one who asks
or hopes, giving wide and with
abundance.
I praise Him endlessly. I
consider Him as one as He is
considered one by those who turn
to Him. Lo! He is Allah; there
is no God for nations except
Him. No one can distort what He
sets upright and established. He
sent Muhammad (P) as the
standard- bearer of Submission
(Islam), the leader for the
rulers, and Preventer of their
oppression, The crippler of the
authorities of Wudd and Sawa
(the idols). He informed and
educated, appointed and
perfected. He founded the
fundamentals and eased them in.
He emphasized the appointed
promise (Day of Judgment) and
forewarned. Allah has linked him
with honor and granted his soul
the peace, and may Allah have
mercy on his progeny and his
venerated family; as long as the
guiding stars shine, the
crescent continues to rise, and
the chant of the oneness (la
ilaha illa Allah) is made to be
heard around.
May God protect ye! Work towards
the best of deeds. So tread the
path seeking the lawful and give
up the forbidden and abandon it.
Listen to the command of Allah
and be aware of it. Maintain the
ties with relations and nurture
them. Disobey desires and repel
them. Bond as kins with
righteous and pious and
discontinue the company of
amusement and greed.
Your groom is the most
impeccable of free men by birth,
most generous and honorable with
glories, and of the sweetest of
the descent. Here he came to
you, took your kin with
permission, in marriage, the
gracious bride. Offered a dowry
just as the Messenger of Allah
did to Umm Salamah. Certainly,
he (P) was the most gracious
son-in-law. Kind to his progeny.
He gave them in marriage to whom
he wanted. He was neither
confused in his choice of wife
nor had an oversight.
I ask Allah, on your behalf, for
the lasting graciousness of His
connection. And the continuation
of His pleasures and that He may
inspire all; the reform of their
own condition, and the
preparation for their individual
destiny and the hereafter.
Gratitude is for Him for ever
and the praise for His Messenger
Ahmad (P)
This sermon appears to have been
delivered by Imam Ali (AS) on
the occasion of some ones
marriage, and may well have been
his own marriage. It has been
quoted by several scholars such
as;
Muhammad Rida al-Hakimi in “Saluni
Qabl An Tafqaduni”
Sayyid al-Musavi in “al-Sitarak
Min BiharManaqib Aaale Nabi
Waal-Ithar”
Hasun al-Dulafi in “Fadail Aal
al-Rasul”
As usual, this sermon of Imam
Ali (AS) shines in Arabic
Literature as Unique, Unparallel
and Par-Excellence by any human
being. |
