The WilÄyat of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.) and the Worldly Comforts and Blessings
YÅ«nus Ibn Abdul RahmÄn told Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.):
“The love and WilÄyat of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.) has been prescribed as your right upon us by Allah. I consider this blessing to be much superior to the worldly blessings.”
Imam (a.s.) was distraught and he replied:
“You have made an inappropriate comparison. What are the worldly blessings? What is it more than eating, drinking and dressing? And you compare all these transient things with our love which is an everlasting reality?”
We have seen in the discussion on the rights of parents, that we can be ‘Ä€q’ of our spiritual fathers if we fail to fulfill their rights. Not all of us may be capable of fulfilling this duty to the fullest extent. But we should sincerely try our utmost to obey their commands. At the same time we should be fully aware of our deficiencies and failings and continually implore our infallible guides to pardon us.
