Besides, that scientific and practical experiments and the studying of biographies have proved that those who followed this way got to their destination sooner and obtained the happiness of the Two Abodes; this life and the afterlife. Since our duty requires us to enliven the biographies of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) and with the assistance that Allah the Almighty has given to us in this way, the Ansariyan Publications has undertaken the translation, from Arabic to English, of the series of the lives of the Fourteen Infallibles; the Prophet, Fatima, Imam Ali, and their eleven infallible sons (peace be on them all), written by Allama Sheikh Baqir Shareef al‐Qurashi…this series that Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com may be unequalled in this concern. Besides the translation, we have printed, and published this precious series, hoping from Allah the Almighty to make it a true step in the path of fulfilling our religious duties one of which is the reviving of the holy lives of our infallible leaders…praying Allah to reward us all with the best of His reward. Ansariyan Publications Introduction We are before the greatest of all propagandists of Allah who has destroyed idles, wide opened horizons of knowledge and thinking, freed man from sins of life, and erected to him a high edifice of development and creativeness. We are before the great mercy that Allah has granted to His people to assist and guide them to that which is most upright, light to them their way, and clear to them their course. We are before the Divine Gift that has inspired minds to do good, and given them richness and creativity in their conducts, relations, and manners. We are before the greatest reformer in the history of mankind who has built the structures of the civilization for the nations of the worlds and the peoples of the earth after they had been living in disorder and confusion. We are before the greatest hero in the history of the whole world who could change the history of mankind from darkness into a bright life shining with awareness, safety, love, and beauty. We are before the great heroisms that have denied weakness, refused submission and subservience, and set out swiftly in their way to raise the Word of Allah high in the earth and to liberate man from slavery and bad habits. We are before the great Prophet (a.s.) and with him his cousin Imam Ali (a.s.), who was a world of heroisms himself. They Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com have established in the Arabic East the pillars of the faith in Allah on which the powers of goodness and peace are built. We are before the gift of Allah to the whole world; the great Prophet (a.s.) who said, “I am but a gifted mercy”. Definitely, all sides of the human greatness have existed in the conducts, manners, maxims, and teachings of the Prophet (a.s.) that enrich intellect and make it fertile all the time; not an intellect of a certain age or a culture of a special milieu, but the intellects and cultures of all ages and all milieus throughout history. The conducts of the Prophet (a.s.) have set the educational bases and the live methods of man’s behavior with himself, his family, and his society. These methods keep pace with man’s nature and changes of time, and react with life. They do not clash with the nature or the rules of the universe, but it will remain alive and man cannot find its like or alternative until Allah will inherit the earth and all that on it. Prophethood is the gift of Allah to His people that carry out the rules of truth and justice and repair what deviates in the systems of their life. In any case, prophethood is not bound to the laws which people are bound to in choosing their rulers and leaders, but it is in the hand of the Great Creator Who has created the universe and given life. He is most aware of whomever He chooses for the guidance of His people, the reforming of their affairs, the rectifying of their behaviors, and the purifying of their souls. Since the first dawn of the history of mankind, Allah chose the best of His people to inform of His missions and spread goodness and love among all people. The prophets carried the mission of Allah and did all what they could in teaching and guiding their nations to better their lives that would assure to them happiness, dignity, and justice. The last and master of the prophets, Prophet Muhammad (a.s.), as well, carried out the mission of his Lord after bearing all kinds of troubles and sufferings in the way of rescuing Allah’s people from the claws of ignorance and its sins. He caused springs of knowledge and wisdom flow to everywhere, and carried lanterns that lit the ways for all peoples, illuminated minds, and guided the deviants. Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com The important thing in the sending of prophets is the inviting of people to monotheism and to worship Allah alone with no partner. The faith in Allah is a base that all powers of good, safety, and peace are built on. He, who believes in Allah the One and Only, does not commit a sin, wrong, or aggression. Surely, all the disasters of wars and the calamities that afflict people result from the lack of the faith in Allah. Therefore, the invitation to the faith in Allah was the most important thing that all prophets kept on in their missions to the nations. You do not read the life of anyone of the prophets of Allah except that you see that the sincere invitation to monotheism and the true faith in Allah alone with no partner was the most prominent task in all the prophets’ missions. The mission of Prophet Muhammad (a.s.) was distinguished, in inviting to monotheism, with irrefutable proofs that relied on perceptible notions that could not be doubted or suspected. It did not involve in philosophical studies or other complicated arguments that that simple people could not understand. Prophet Muhammad (a.s.) avoided that and he relied on the perceptible proofs that existed in all phenomena in the universe and in the creation of man himself with his wonderful systems such as his brain, sight, hearing, perceiving…etc. These clear proofs have been mentioned in many verses in the Holy Qur’an . It is worth mentioning that most of the Qur’anic verses that were revealed on monotheism and that refuted the thoughts of the pre‐Islamic era (Jahiliyyah; ignorance) were revealed in Mecca and not in Medina, because the people of Mecca were idolaters whereas Medina, which the Prophet (a.s.) took as his capital, was of little polytheism and atheism, and its people believed in Islam and defended it devotedly. In this good town, the Word of Monotheism was raised high and its lights extended to the nations of the world and the peoples of the earth. (6) The mission of the Prophet (a.s.) was not limited to monotheism and the other spiritual rites only, but also it included all phenomena and affairs of life. The Prophet (a.s.) had established the social systems for the individual, family, society, and state. He had, as well, set the foreign and interior policies of government which were based on pure justice and truth. The mission of Islam has extended to all sides of life and opened new horizons to reason. It has fully cared for knowledge and made it the base in every thing even the witnesses that should not depend on supposition. Islam has not permitted the imitation of one’s fathers in the concerns of Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com beliefs, but one must follow knowledge and certainty in this matter to be certain of his beliefs before Allah and before himself. From among what the Prophet (a.s.) was very careful for in his mission was to do away with poverty and put an end to neediness.

He stood worthy of the designation. He declared the message in Makkah Mukarrama “O, The People say, There is no god save Allah and win”. There was another man Abu Lahab calling behind him, Don’t believe him he is a magician” Time passed, days rolled into years and decades into centuries. But still that call is echoing on the horizons. Thousands nay millions people entered the folds of Islam and now they are preaching the same message of “La ilaha illallah Mohammadur rasoolullah” from mosques, schools, academies, and from every platform of human life by sermons, publications, and through radio, and TV channels.
