The Verses of the Holy Quran and Have Presented Some Narrations Dealing with the Watching of God in the Other World Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION By the honorable scholar of Nahjolbalaqa and the in- structor of Divine Knowledge, Mohammad Taqi Ja’afari In The Name of Allah One of those meaningful and constructive aspects of the pos- itive dimensions of man is invocation and having communica- tion with Allah. The lack of correct interpretation and sufficient explanation on these invocations on the one hand, and the great inclination of interest-centered individuals, on the other hand, has deprived numerous people at all times and in many communities of establishing rapport with the Absolute Perfection. The only result of the destruction of those meaningful and constructive facts and truths was not merely the deprivation of men of beautiful, useful and desired phenomena; rather the hu- man rational life, any minute of which could taste of eternity, has lost its very genuine Identity. Then there would remain nothing for the human wisdom. Let us not conceive that the beauty, order and welfare in the so-called progressed countries could satisfy the conscience of humanity. And let us not assume that the inclination of the ma- jority of the world population towards this earthly life is based on clear understanding of the truth behind life.1 But if we observe carefully we will realize that their satisfac- tion with their life all depends on their interest in those means and representations of the world in which life is depicted very insignificantly. Invocation is one of those meaningful concepts which build up human character. Other such concepts are the following: 2 1. Right and Truth 2. Justice 3. Freedom 4. Knowledge 5. Genuine Thinking 6. Active Conscience 7. Protection of self 8. Independence 9. Prosperity 10. True love 11. Human sublime character 12. Constructive competition These are the truths the seeds of which are planted into the depth of human souls by the Great Gardner of creation. Invocation makes man have direct relation with the center of creation which is God. We might see the result of invocation in the satisfaction of our material needs; but this limitation is to take away the es- sence of this great truth which will deprive men of the useful consequences of invocation. If we observe carefully the invocations and prayers which are taught to people by Holy Quran and if we analyze the invoca- tions presented in Nahjolbalaqa and Sahifeh Sajjadieh and oth- er narration sources, we will vividly see that nothing could sat- isfy man’s needs for perfection and growth like invocations. With respect to the above sources, the benefits of the above- mentioned truths will be discussed here: 1) Invocation is the most fundamental factor of the growth in human knowledge about the secrets of the creation. This nature and creation has kept the majority of people in the dark prisons of ignorance. In any invocation we utter, there is a new connection with the creator. 2) Since at the time of invocation, which is the most serious time of our lives, man asks God to connect him with the best kind of virtues we could, therefore, safely say that invocation keeps us in this great temple of the world, which is a place of lust and eating for the ignorant ones, in a state of learning the truth and growth factors. Thus, we should observe that invoca- tion is a great temple and a huge university in which man is 3 taught the best courses on “man as he is” and “man as he should be”. 3) The first construction which invocation brings about is to produce a need in man to like to be in the absorption of perfec- tion. Then invocation puts him there. 4) The one who knowingly engages in worshipping, prior to the enunciation of the first word, especially if that word is God’s name, he will get into a strange mental-spiritual terrance which is not to be named except by the acceptance of God. 5) The constructive aspects of invocation concerning man’s numerous dimensions are many, which are unfortunately not taken care of, however. With the study of this book and with an entry into its con- tents, which is rightfully called the country of the lovers, this hope is enlivened in the human lovers of perfection that invoca- tion has got its genuine status in man’s culture and has its place as one of the most fundamental factors in the meaningful attempts in the world of rationalism. In the contents of this valuable book, which is rooted in the active thoughts of the great scholar, Mr. Haj Sheikh Hossein Ansaryan, we could find a clear statement on the interpretation of invocations and how man could be in the absorption of perfection, which is the school of the great prophets. The readers who read the con- tents of this book, which is an interpretation on Sahifeh Saj- jadieh written by Imam Ali Ibn Al-Hussein al-Sajjad (s) will en- counter a perfect research which, I hope, will open up the door of spirituality to those who are deprived of this divine asset. I hope they, will get to a shiny, flourishing aspect of life. Mohammad Taqi Ja’afari Khordad/1/1370 [They know only a little of this world.] 1 The Beneficient Allah not only humiliates this worldly life as against the eternal life, but considers the people’s know- ledge of this world only superficial and meager: 4 Chapter 2 PREFACE In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful Upon the completion of the Islamic knowledge (Gnosticism)1 , which is a comprehensive and detailed explanation and inter- pretation, in twelve volumes, on the valuable, ethical-gnostic book called Mesbal Al-Sharia’ah and Meftah Al-Haqiqa, for some time I was contemplating on finding a way to go once again along the path of divine, prospering culture. But I could think of no specific issue. Then due to Allah’s special observa- tion and on the prosperous days of the annual of Glorious Prophet’s birthday and Imam Sadiq’s birthday, during a bright night, I thought about the edition of an explanation and inter- pretation of Sahifeh Sajjadieh which is the product of heart and spirit, soul and heart, the mental state of the Imam of lovers, the life of Gnostics, The distinguished one among worshippers, The sire of prayers, the expert of Philosophers, the Unique among performers of nocturnal devotion, Imam Zeinol Abedin(s). In order to get encouraged on this spiritual planning, with a lot of humiliation in the presence of Allah, I referred to the Holy Quran, which has always been my guide at hard times, and the holy verse of The Quran was presented to me: “And the ever-abiding, the good works, are better with your Lord in reward and better in expectation. 18:46.” This holy verse took me by surprise. For two days I was pon- dering on this statement of Allah’s. The relevance of this verse to my work amazed me greatly and the spirituality of this valuable statement of the Great Friend kindled a strange enthusiasm in me to initiate the inter- pretation of Sahifeh Sajjadieh. 5 During those two days, the Holy Quran was open in front of me. Whenever I passed it, I had a look at this precious verse, taking light from it till I heard the caller to prayer’s (muezzin) voice, who with his lovely voice was inviting people to Maqreb prayer. While the Holy Quran was still in front of me, and I was staring at the holy verse, I started this God-asked-for planning, although confessing to my humbleness and lack of suffi- cient knowledge. My only resort in this feat is His favor and I humbly ask Him up to the last pages of this book not to cut his benevolence from this heartbroken poor writer: Nothing takes place without His consent, this we all know. The bright-thinking Gnostics refer to Sahifeh, the book of Imam Sajjad (s) as “the Bible of the Infallible”, and the scholars have referred to the sea of knowledge as “Zabur of Mohammad Household”2 Sahifeh Sajjadieh is the precious treasure of the king of the earth and the heavens, the prince of the country of magnanim- ity, the commander of the world of sincerity and love, the head of the Gnostics, the leader of the lovers, the sacred person Imam Sajjad(s). This Collection contains treasures of knowledge, and we can find there whatever is necessary for human growth and perfection. Sahifeh is a school, the teacher of which is the fourth Imam(s). This is the teacher who has taught world-dwellers during long centuries and has made it possible for individuals to reach their perfection in accordance with their talents. Sahifeh is the roaring ocean of God’s favors, whose pearls and corals are innumerable, and whose precious items are not countable. Sahifeh is a burning and shining sun, the exposure of which will turn the man’s sapling into a clean tree. Sahifeh is Divine’s hot sun. This sun, i.e., Imam Zainol Abedin(s), has risen in the east to educate and nourish the tree of human nature and will spread rays of light up to the eternity. Sahifeh is the scale of pure and impure, right and wrong, light and darkness, life and death, the world Here and the Hereafter, and health and disease. 6 Sahifeh is God’s spring of favors, the saver of darkness and the salvager of man from wrong-doing. Sahifeh is the teacher of knowledge, a source of learning, the attractor of benevolence, the producer of kindness, the maker of one’s personality, the initiator of miraculous acts, and the promoter of man to higher positions.

S Y R I A I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T 15th May 2018 The ninth round of Syria Peace Talks in Astana continued on Tuesday. The second day of the talks saw the delegation of 24 Syrian Opposition representatives led by the former Syrian Interim Government Prime Minister Ahmed Touma. Citing Opposition sources, Turkey's Anadolu News Agency reported that the second day of the talks would concern the release of prisoners and hostages, as well as the completion of the ceasefire monitoring stations in Idlib by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK). The three guarantor countries, Russia, Turkey and Iran are also expected to have a trilateral meeting before all delegations will convene for a final statement. Although the final statement is yet to be made, the head of the Syrian Government delegation, Bashar al-Jaafari, expressed his side’s satisfaction at the outcomes of the talks. The Syrian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Monday evening, commenting on the protests in Gaza where around 50 Palestinians were killed. Unsurprisingly, the statement pinned the blame purely on the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), referring to the Monday's events as a “brutal massacre” and condemning it in the strongest terms. The statement also condemned the United States for its continued support for the IDF.

AL-FAHAD*t INTRODUCTION On August 2, 1990, Iraq attacked Kuwait. For several days there- after, the Saudi Arabian media was not allowed to report the invasion and occupation of Kuwait. When the Saudi government was satisfied with the U.S. commitment to defend the country, it lifted the gag on the Saudi press as American and other soldiers poured into Saudi Arabia. In retrospect, it seems obvious that the Saudis, aware of their vulnerabilities and fearful of provoking the Iraqis, were reluctant to take any public position on the invasion until it was ascertained * Copyright © 2004 by Abdulaziz H.
