1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from af-Qasim ibn Muhammad from af-Minqariy from Sufyan ibn ‘ Uyaynah from al- Zuhriy who has said the following: “Once a group of men of Quraysh came to see Ali ibn al-Husayn , and asked him about how to call to religion. He (the Imam) replied, ‘You should say, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I call you to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, and to His religion.” The main points in it are two issues. (1) It is to acknowledge the existence of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious. (2) It is to act according to what pleases Him. Acknowledgement of the existence of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, comes from knowing that He is one, kind, merciful, Majestic, all-Knowing, powerful and that He is high above all things and that He can benefit and cause harm and that He is dominant over all things. No eye is able to see Him but He is aware of all eyes and He is the subtle and aware. Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, is His servant and His Messenger and that what he has brought is truly from Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, and all things beside Him are destructible. If they agreed, they then will able to have whatever the Muslims can have and they will be held responsible for whatever Muslims are held responsible.”’
