when Sura Tawba was revealed and it had to be recited to the people of Mecca. Abu Baqar offered to do so and started on his way. The angel jibraeel came with a message from Allah (swt) asking the Prophet (pbuh) to recall Abu Baqar and either to go himself or to send a person like him. The Holy Prophet sent Ali (as)


Was it a coincidence that Ali(as) was one of the blessed members of the "Haadith-e-Kisaa (event of the cloak)" This is the well known event, in which the "verse of purification" was revelead to Prophet Mohammad (saw). In summary the "Holy Five" or "Ahlul-Bayt" sat under a cloak, and the prophet (p) said:

Coincidence or a sign?"O Allah! These are my Ahlul-Bayt. Their flesh is my flesh, and their blood is my blood. Whoever hurts them, hurts me. Whoever displeases them, displeases me. Whoever makes peace with them, will makes peace with me. Whoever has enmity with them, will have enmity against me. Whoever is a friend to them, is a friend of mine. It is because they belong to me, and I belong to them.

O' Allah! Bestow Your peace, benevolence, mercy, forgiveness, and Your pleasures on me and them. And keep them aloof from un cleanliness and keep them pure and thoroughly purified."


The verses of the holy Quran descended about Imam Ali when he gave away in charity his ring while he was in a state of bowing in his prayer.

"Certainly your Master is Allah and His Messenger and those who believe who establish prayer and give charity while they bow. And who ever takes Allah and His Messenger and those who believe as a guardian, so surely the party of Allah will be victorious." (Quran 5:55-56)

Coincidence or a sign?• Was it a coincidence or sign that our

prophet Muhammad (pbuh) on his way back from his final Hajj stopped at Ghadeer and said, before thousands of Muslims that "Oh people I will be departing from you soon. I am leaving amongst you two very weighty things: 1)The Holy Qur'an al Kareem, and 2) My Ahlul-Bayt (progeny) - These two will never depart from one another, until they reach me together at the fountain of Kauthar (Heaven). Therefore be careful and guarded in your relations with the Qur'an and my ahlul-bayt after me."


After which the holy Prophet declared :

Whomsoever I am their master, then Ali (a) is their master, as well. Oh Allah! be a friend to one who loves Ali ,and be the enemy of the one who has enmity with him.


immediately after the Prophet finished his speech, ALLAH (swt) revealed the following verse; Today I have perfected your religion and completed my favor upon you, and I am satisfied that Islam be your religion?

• (Holy Qur'an 5: 3)


• Was it a coincidence or sign that Ali (as) was born in ALLAH’s house-the Kaaba and was martyred in ALLAH’s house-the Mosque in Kufa?

Coincidence or a sign?Was it a coincidence or sign that ALLAH swt revealed this verse:

Say (O Muhammad), I do not ask any recompense for it (my work as a messenger), except the love of my near relatives (Ahlul Bayt). And whosoever earns good, We (Alláh) increase for him good therein. Verily, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Grateful." (Quran, 42:23)


• These all cannot be coincidences!but they are definitely signs showing us the right path to the divinely appointed successor to our holy Prophet Muhammad. ALLAH(swt) in his infinite wisdom knew that the day will come when Muslims will debate and argue as to who would be the rightful successor as IMAM of the Muslims

And He shows you His signs: which then of Allah's signs will you deny?
