Whomsoever’s Master I Am, Ali Is Also His Master. O’ God, Love Those Who Love Him, And Be Hostile to Those Who Are Hostile to Him

Muslims celebrate today in the history, when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) ordered his tens of thousands of companions in his last Hajj pilgrimage to stop in a place known as the Khom pond to hear God’s last decree: appointment of his first, foremost and most faithful follower and son-in-law and cousin, Ali ibn-e Abi Talib, as his immediate successor. And then he said, “Whomsoever’s Master I Am, Ali Is Also His Master. O’ God, Love Those Who Love Him, And Be Hostile to Those Who Are Hostile to Him.” And then the prophet recited to the crowd of his followers what God had told him: “Today I completed the religion for you and accomplished Islam as a religion for you.”
