Preface by Publisher
In 1965, a Bohri Alawi Muslim with pure intention went for the
Search of Truth about the Imamat of the Imams after Imam
Jafar-e-Sadiq (a.s.). In his sincere efforts he was helped by an
Aalim-e-Rabbani Maulana Sayed Gulam Askari Sahab.
By the grace of Allah, he came to the conclusion that after
Imam-e-Sadiq (a.s.), Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) is the TRUE
and DIVINELY appointed Imam. By 1970, there were about six
Bohra families who accepted the Shia Ithna-Ashari Faith. In
1971, a Jamaat – ‘Bohra Shia Ithna Ashari Jamat’ was formed
and registered with the Charity Commissioner to take care of
the new families.
Since then its members have tried to spread the truth through
various platforms and media. Among their endeavours in
spreading the true Islam is publication of Islamic literatures.
The first book printed by the Jamaat was ‘From Darkness
towards Light - A True story of an Ismaili Mustali Bohra
accepting Shia faith.
Thereafter, the Jamaat has published several books like Who is
your Imam ?, Wilayat Ahle Bait (a.s.), Miracles of Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Crying for Imam Husain (a.s.), The war of
Siffin, Ghaibat of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.), Companions &
Enemies of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.), Anger, The Human Resource
Management Polices outlined by Imam Ali (a.s.) etc.

‘‘ﺎﺟ َﺘﻪ ﺣ
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Shaddad, this his father said:
“The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) came out to us for one of the
night time prayers, and he was carrying Hasan or Husain. The
Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) came forward and put him down,
then he said the Takbir and started to pray. He prostrated during
his prayer, and made the prostration lengthy.” My father said: “I
raised my head and saw the child on the back of the Messenger
of Allah (s.a.w.a.) while he was prostrating so I went back to
my prostration. When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) finished
praying, the people said: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), you
prostrated during the prayer for so long that we thought that
something had happened or that you were receiving a
revelation.’ He said: ‘No such thing happened. But my son was
riding on my back and I did not like to disturb him until he had
enough.’”
(Sunan an-Nasa’i 1141 In-book: Book 12, Hadith 113

on the minbar, Al-Hasan (a.s.) and Al-Husain (a.s.) came,
wearing red shirts, walking and stumbling. He came down and
picked them up, then said: ‘Allah has spoken the truth: Your
wealth and your children are only a test.’ I saw these two
walking and stumbling in their shirts, and I could not be patient
until I went down and picked them up.’”

killed on the banks of the Euphrates, And he said: “Would you
like to smell his dust (the dust of the land where he will fall)?” I

Narrated ‘Amir bin Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas:
from his father, saying “Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan ordered
Sa’d, saying ‘What prevented you from reviling Abu Turab-
Hazrat Ali (a.s.)?’ He said: ‘Three things that I remember from
the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) prevent me from reviling him.
That I should have even one those things are more beloved to
me than red camels.
1. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) speaking to ‘Ali
(a.s.), and he had left him behind in one of his battles. So
‘Ali (a.s.) said to him: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.)!
You leave me behind with women and children?” So, the
Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said to him: “Are you not
pleased that you should be in the position with me that
Harun (a.s.) was with Musa (a.s.)? Except that there is no
Prophethood after me?”
2. And on the Day of (the battle of) Khaibar, I heard him
saying: “I shall give the banner to a man who loves Allah
