He was knowledgeable about God, the Prophet (S.A.) and the Imams (A.S.) and guided many people during his blessed life. I attended some of his lectures and I really enjoyed his faith, love of God, knowledge, sincerity, and influential utterances. The late Haj Ismail Doulabi changed people’s attitude toward life, death, afflictions, heaven, hell, etc. by expressing God’s love toward man. His emphasis was on monotheism and man’s submission to God. Improving moralities by following the Prophet (S.A.) and Imams (A.S.) was the other important point on which he focused. He believed that all the creation is the fruit of love and man should never be disappointed because he has a Merciful and Compassionate God. The first time I read Misbahul-Huda (The Guidance light) which is a collection of parts of the lectures of Haj Ismail Doulabi, categorized by subject by Engineer Mahdi Tayyeb, it had a very positive effect on my life. That is why I decided to translate the book into English because I thought the English The Translator’s Preface 7 speakers should not be deprived from reading this significant book. I hope, in the near future, the book be translated into languages other than English and all the people benefit from the sincere words of this great Gnostic. I would like to express my very great appreciation to Mrs. Shadi Ghaffari who edited one hundred pages of the book. I would also like to offer my special thanks to Mr. Hamed Safarnavadeh for the pagination of the book. To make the text more understandable, the translation includes more than 600 footnotes. The translator tried to find most of the sources of the traditions. In some cases, the sources were not found and just the Arabic version of the tradition has been written in the footnotes. It should be mentioned that the present book is free but I would appreciate if the readers donate as much as and in any way they want to a charity institution to help the orphan children, sick people, the retarded or any person in need in their own country. Zahra Agha Muhammad Shirazi December 2017 8 MISBAHUL-HUDA The Abreviations used by the translator: (A.S.) = /’Alaihe Salam/ “Peace be upon him” and also /Alaihemu Salam/ “peace be upon them” which has been used for Imams (A.S.), the Ahl al-Bait (A.S.) and the Prophets other than Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) (S.A.) = /Salamullah ‘Alaiha/ “Peace be upon her” which has been used for Zahra (S.A.) (the daughter of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), and the wife of Ali (A.S.))and Masoumah (S.A.), (The daughter of Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.) and the sister of Imam Reza (A.S.)) (P.B.U.H.) = “Peace be upon him” which has been used for the last prophet, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) 9 To the Reader At the beginning of 1360s, the Exalted God succeeded me in understanding one of the contemporary great Gnostics of the Shi’ites. This success, with His Grace, continued up to 1381 A.H. when he passed away. That great man in his brief reference to his mystical path said: In my youth I made a pilgrimage to the holy Najaf. At that time I had a thirst for religious knowledge and science and I wholeheartedly liked to reside in Najaf and study in seminary (religious school); but my father who was old and had no other son to help him in his works didn’t agree with my residing there. I pleaded Imam Ali (A.S.) to help me reside in Najaf and study and so much I beseeched and pressed my breast to the holy shrine that its hairs were cut and it was injured. I felt so bad that I didn’t believe to be able to come back to Iran. I told myself either I stay in Najaf and study or if I am obliged to return, I will die here. When I spoke about the problem with the scholars of Najaf to be permitted to stay there, they told my duty To the Reader 11 was to satisfy my father and to come back to Iran to help him. As a result neither my pleas to Imam Ali (A.S.) nor my recourses to the scholars helped me. With that disturbed mood my father and I made a pilgrimage Karbala. In the holy shrine of Aba ‘Abdillah (A.S.) everything was resolved and whatever I asked was fulfilled in a way that at the time of returning, I even walked faster than my father and we returned to Iran. In Iran, the first persons who came to visit me as a pilgrim of the holy shrines were two sayyeds (descendants of Imam Ali (A.S.)). I directed them to the room and I went to bring something to entertain them. Returning to the room, the curtains were removed and I had a mood of inspiration/mystical unveiling. Holding the table cloth in my hand, I halted in my place for twenty minutes. I saw myself over the holy shrine of Aba ‘Abdullah (A.S.) and they made me understand that I could take whatever I asked for. Those two sayyeds were speaking to each other and told that I was in a spiritual ecstasy. It was the beginning of the way and that room became the above part of the holy shrine of Aba ‘Abdillah and there became the mourning place for Aba ‘Abdillah for thirty years and the people who came there cried without hearing the mourning rites. As a grace of Aba 12 MISBAHUL-HUDA ‘Abdillah, many of the great men including the late Haj Molla Agha jan, the late Muhammad Taghi Bafghi and the late Shahabadi came to that place without my request and because of their own interest. After that mystical unveiling, I encountered four people successively. The first was Sayyed Muhammad Sharif Shirazi. I was with him until he died. When we carried his corpse to ‘Shah Abd al-’Azim, Muhammad Taghi Bafghi came and prayed for him. I saw that he prayed for my dear and he was also more admirable than the late Shirazi, so I was attracted to him to the extent that I didn’t go to Ghom. I found Sheikh’s house and visited him from that time until he made me familiar with Gholam Ali Ghomi nicknamed Tanoumasi.

POMPEO I am pleased to release the State Department’s new report detailing the scope of the Iranian regime’s destructive behavior at home and abroad on the eve of the Islamic Revolution’s 40th anniversary. On May 8, 2018, President Donald J. Trump announced his decision to cease U.S. participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly referred to as the Iran deal. The Iran deal was proving to be a failed strategic bet that fell short of protecting the American people or our allies from the potential of an Iranian nuclear weapon. The futility of entrusting our long term security to an agreement that will quickly expire was underscored by the recent bombshell that Iran had secretly preserved its past nuclear weapons research after the implementation of the JCPOA.

Alja’am Welcome to the third edition of the International Conference on Computer and Applications, ICCA’18. This year’s edition, in Beirut, includes papers covering a vast range of topics from hardware implementations, to virtual reality, to cybersecurity and much more. With the ubiquity of computing in our lives, the opportunity to share and collaborate about these topics is valuable. ICCA’18 provides such an opportunity, as such, it’s no wonder that ICCA’18 received 128 paper submissions, with 84 being accepted for presentation. The world is on the cusp of technological revolutions driven by computing. Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are two such computing based revolutions. We are about to become much more dependent on applications being designed and trialed today in our universities and research labs. With such a fast rate of development in these socially and economically influential fields, we would like to thank the International University of Beirut, BIU, for hosting this forum that allows international and Lebanese researchers to share ideas, experiences and opinions for the purpose of enhancing our knowledge and use of emerging computing technologies.
