🌙 The Virtue of Rajab al-Murajjab 🌙

🔆 Imam Musa al-Kadhim (AS) said:

"Whoever fasts a single day in the month of Rajab, the fire of Hell will stay away from them for a year. And whoever fasts three days, Paradise becomes obligatory for them."

"Rajab is the name of a river in Paradise, whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever fasts even one day in Rajab will surely drink from it."

📖 Let's honor this sacred month with devotion and good deeds.

Surah Abasa: A Reflection of Divine Leadership
From the Wilayah-Mahdawi Perspective
(Qur'an Juz 30 Series – Continuation)

Intro to Surah Abasa – Divine Rewards for Its Recitation

Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever recites Surah Abasa and Surah al-Takwir shall reside in Paradise beneath the wings of God, under His mercy and grace, and shall dwell in the gardens of the Divine. And this is not difficult for Allah, if He so wills.”
(Al-Tafsir al-Mansub ila Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 17, p. 372 / Thawab al-A‘mal, p. 121)

Wilayah-Mahdawi Insight:
Reciting these surahs grants one special divine protection — a station reserved only for the Awliya' (friends of God) and their followers. It’s a Qur’anic assurance for the people of Wilayah, whose path leads to Divine pleasure.

Reward = Shade of Mercy
Path = Guided by Wilayah
Destination = Divine Gardens

Verse 4 – Abasa

﴿أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى﴾
“Or that he might take heed and the remembrance would benefit him.”

According to ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah bless him):

“This verse refers to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (peace be upon him).”
(Al-Tafsir al-Mansub ila Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 17, p. 374)

Wilayah Reflection:
This interpretation presents Imam Ali (a.s) as the living embodiment of Divine reminder (Tadhkirah). If people turn toward him, they find the straight path to guidance.

Verse 11 – Abasa

﴿كَلّا إِنَّها تَذْكِرَةٌ﴾
“No! Indeed, it is a reminder (Tadhkirah).”

a) ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim (r.a) said:

“This verse was revealed about the Imams (peace be upon them).”

b) Imam al-Kazim (peace be upon him) said:

“The term ‘Tadhkirah’ here refers to Wilayah.”
(Al-Tafsir al-Mansub ila Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 17, p. 376 / Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 434)

Wilayah–Mahdawi Reflection:
The Qur’an reflects Wilayah. Recognizing Wilayah is the key to truly understanding the Qur’an. The Imams are the living reminders, and in the age of occultation, remembrance of Imam Mahdi (aj) becomes the ultimate awakening for heedless hearts.

Mahdawi Summary
Though Surah Abasa appears to narrate a singular event, it holds layered meanings rooted in Wilayah. Imam Ali (a.s) is depicted as the Divine Reminder, and the true reminder of the Qur’an is none but Wilayah itself.
Ali is the beginning of the path, and Mahdi is its promised fulfillment.

Through recitation, reflection, and devotion to this Surah, one can seek refuge beneath the shade of Wilayah and walk toward the gardens of salvation — where those who remember, follow, and await are truly at home.

📌 Imam al-Kazim (a) and the “Jewish-like” spirit within the Muslim community

After the martyrdom of Imam Musa al-Kazim (a), some of his companions refused to accept the Imamate of Imam al-Ridha (a). Their main motive? Worldly greed.

These individuals had been entrusted with large sums of money during Imam al-Kazim’s lifetime. With the Imam’s passing, they denied the rightful successor in order to retain control over the wealth. This betrayal led to the birth of the deviant sect of Waqifiyya.

One of its leaders, Ali ibn Abi Hamzah al-Bata’ini, is described in hadith as:
"A liar and accursed."
Imam al-Kazim (a) is reported to have said to him:

"O Ali, you and your followers are like donkeys!" [(Rijal al-Kashshi, p. 404)]

⚠️ This statement isn't an insult, but a truthful exposure of their spiritual corruption. The Qur’an uses similar language when describing the Jews who rejected divine revelation:

"The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah but failed to uphold it is like that of a donkey carrying books."
📖 [Jumu‘ah 62:5]

🔍 Why such a comparison?
Because just like those Jews, these individuals rejected divine guidance out of greed and arrogance, fabricating a false sect and opposing the rightful Imamate.

🟤 The Jewish Spirit: Greed, Stubbornness, and Denial

The Qur’an paints a clear picture of the Jewish character:

🔹 “You will find them the greediest of people for life—even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes to live a thousand years!”
📖 [Baqarah 2:96]

🔹 “They kill the prophets unjustly.”
📖 [Baqarah 2:61]

🔹 “You will surely find the most hostile to the believers are the Jews and the polytheists.”
📖 [Ma’idah 5:82]

They denied truth, opposed prophets, and claimed racial superiority.

Yet, the verse:

“He has preferred you over the worlds”
📖 [A‘raf 7:140]
does not indicate eternal superiority, but merely Allah’s rescue of the Israelites from Pharaoh at that time—not moral or racial excellence.

📚 Even scholars like Allama Tabataba’i interpret the abundance of prophets among Bani Israel as a sign of their intellectual weakness and constant deviation, not virtue.

Proof? After miraculously crossing the sea, they told Prophet Musa (a):

“Make for us a god like they (the idolaters) have gods.”
📖 [A‘raf 7:138]
To which Musa (a) replied:
“Indeed, you are an ignorant people!”

🥀 So we see: their stubbornness, ignorance, worldliness, and arrogance all reflect a spiritual disease.

🟥 The same disease afflicted Ali ibn Abi Hamzah and his group. Just as the Jews rejected the Torah, these men rejected the Ahlulbayt (a). Their love for the dunya made them stand against truth and manufacture a sect.

Imam al-Ridha (a) later described them in the same spirit as the Jews who said:

“Allah’s hand is chained.”
📖 [Ma’idah 5:64]
—meaning they limited divine authority for material gain.
