The hurdles of the arrogant in establishing the Divine schools

The divine schools- the oneness of God- since the beginning were not established among the people in its true sense because of the setbacks and obstacles created by the arrogant. With regard to the religion of Jesus, peace be upon him, is blocked in the hands of a group. There has had been a number of turns and twists in the religion. Things which are proper or suitable to Prophet Jesus are attributed to him. The more worst is that the kings who were not Christians but bad attached themselves to Christianity hampered the progress of the teachings of Prophet Jesus. The teachings of the Prophets, those of Christ among Christians, those of Prophet Moses among Jews, and those of the last Prophet among Muslims had they taken root and were they established as the Prophets had desired, these entanglements and havocs that have gripped the human beings everywhere would have never happened. Now you see for yourselves that the governments of the big power in the name of Christianity and affiliating themselves to the Christian school and committing crimes so many and so great. Likewise, the heads of the Muslim countries, though we are Muslims, yet in the name of Islam there is no crime that they do not commit. You already witnessed that Muhammad-Rida used to demonstrate his attachment to Islam. He got the Holy Qur'an printed. He even claimed his commitment to Islam. But irrespective to that, he behaved with Islam in a way all of you did witness. For example, Carter. Likewise, his peers who used to go to church and supplicate to God and used to incite others to read the psalms. But, in fact, against the teachings of the Prophet Jesus, he commits all these atrocities, tyrannies, crimes in the world. Religions since the beginning have been captives of this tyrant arrogant.
Since the religions came into being in the world, there along with it came into being an arrogant or arrogants too. The men of religion tried to bring home the mankind to the people and turn them into human beings. The man, that you see, if left to himself without check, then he becomes worse than a wild animal and more dangerous. God sent the Prophets to bring man out of arrogance and stubbornness and make him humble. But, the Prophets too did not succeed in their missions as was desired. Yet the extent they succeeded and prospered is too much for man. This is the ground for the present running safety of the world. In fact, it is due to the blessings of faith or religion. Now too the masses wherever they are, the masses of Jews- not their chiefs; the masses of Christians- not their heads; the masses of Muslims- not their heads; it is due their acquaintance, although a little, with the teachings of the Prophets which they are committed to, we see this safety that all are living in.
Had this too not been there, the people like wild animals would have torn one another apart. It this very extends of safety now existing in the world was sufficient enough to make the chiefs bumble them, all the human beings would have lived in peace. This too is the blessing of the efforts of the Prophets. The endeavors of Prophets is the reason and ground for those who have accepted the religion to regain from committing the things which every man is inclined to- if he is left without any faith. This is the fruit of the efforts of the Prophets. Had there not been known what this world would have been. Regrettably, we have not seen the people to be acquainted with Islam to the required extent.
You, gentlemen! Do not think that we have a country- Islamic one- in its real sense. Islam, if took its own shape or adopted in its actual reality, then you will see how it would treat with Christianity and all other nationalities. It depends to be seen the love, the peace, the affection that Islam would treat the other sister religions such as Christianity and etc. The head of our faith, Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful) «1» peace be upon him, when hears that a woman- under the care of Islam, who perhaps was a Jew, her foot bungles are taken out by some one in the army, he becomes so much uneasy that he says death is better in such a case. Such is the government of Islam. So a government of Islam- one designed by God- if established in Iran, then the oppression and tyranny will totally be wiped out. There can't be any aggression. The governments will not practice any pressure upon people. The army and the police all will be at the disposal of people. So pray to God, that we may be prosperous in our mission- to establish the things as they should be. We can be able to introduce Islam in its true form. Also pray that those around us who believe in nothing and are occupied in chaos to become good and reformed. Or, they should go and an Islamic government may come instead. This will be good for you, good the humanity. May God prosper you and help you.
«۱»- Commander of the Faithful: Imam `Ali (`a), the leader of the Muslim world was born in ۶۰۰ CE to his mother by the name of Fatimah and a father by the name of Abou Talib (Prophet's uncle), and from the age of ۶ he grew up in the Prophet's house. He was the first man to accept Islam and promised to aid the Prophet (s). In the early days of his mission when, at God's command, the Prophet was inviting his kith and kin to Islam, at a gathering, he announced to them:" He among you, who accepts my Faith will succeed me." He repeated this declaration three times and each time, only `Ali (`a) declared his faithfulness. On the eve of the hijrah or migration, notwithstanding the plot of the Quraysh against the Prophet's life, `Ali (`a) slept in the Prophet's bed and thus proved his fidelity to him. The Prophet selected him as his brother and when returning from the last hajj pilgrimage, at a place called Ghadir, introduced `Ali (`a) as the master and guardian [wali] of the Muslims, after himself. `Ali was the companion of the Prophet during his loneliness and his aid in his struggles and in time of dangers. After the Prophet's spiritual ascension, for about ۲۵ years, `Ali (`a) kept aloof from government administration and leadership. During this period he was the observer and overseer who prevented deviations and defections. After the murder of the ۳ rd Caliph, `Ali's disciples and a group of people swore allegiance to `Ali (`a) and elected him as the caliph. The Imam's period of administration lasted for ۴ years and ۹ months. `Ali obliterated the changes that had been made after the Prophet (s) and restored things to their earlier conditions. Opposition elements, whose personal interests were threatened, rose pretending to take revenge for the ۳ rd Caliph's death. Bloody civil wars followed that lasted throughout the reign of `Ali (`a). Finally the unique man of history was martyred in the altar at Koufah, Iraq.For further information on the Imamate of `Ali ibn Abi Talib, see Yousuf N.
