Comprehending the Splendor of Wilayat-1

Is Wilayat only for terrestrial beings? Is it for celestial beings? Is it for the seeable world or the unseeable?

Wilayat belongs to all worlds. It belongs to the seeable and unseeable worlds.

All seeable and unseeable worlds have one axis. Their axis is our Maula, Ali (AS). In other words, Ali is not only the Imam of the terrestrial beings. He is not only for those who live on this planet or another.

The seeable and unseeable worlds and everything they contain consider one point as their pillar after Allah. That point is the source of all sources, the beauty of all beauties, the master of all masters, Amir-ul-Mumineen, Imam Ali (AS).
Everyone's master should be Imam Ali (AS). This is why Allah has said in the Holy Quran (Surah Rum, Aya 8):   

"Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end."


In fact the pillars of all the above creations are attached to Wilayat. Why is this? According to Abu Nasr Farabi everything in the universe, not only in the nasut (material world) which is the world in which we live, but also whatever exists in the malakut (angelic world) and the jabarut (world of divine power) and whatever exists in the world of illuminations and the planets all are collected in the Tenth Intellect which is called the Active Intellect.

The Active Intellect has ten levels; ten principals. In the intellects are the images of the galaxies and the universe and the images of the planets. In another intellect is the image of forms, mountains, seas and humans.

In other words, the image of the moon and everything which is with the moon, the image of the sun and everything which is related to it, the image of the universe and everything with it, the image of the nasut (material world), which is the world we live in, the image of the plants, land, seas, fishes, etc all exist in the intellects. Everything in the seeable and unseeable worlds is collected in the Active Intellect.

Our Holy Prophet, Rasulullah (SAW) has said:

"I am the Active Intellect and the main power of the Active Intellect comes from my Ali."

This means that all images are collected in the essence of Imam Ali (AS), which is Wilayat. 

Rasulullah (SAW) has also said:
 "Movements are from me, but images are from Ali(AS)."

This is also mentioned in the logic of the Holy Quran (Surah Ya Seen, Aya 12):

"And of all things have We taken account in a clear Book."

The images of the seeable and unseeable are all collected in the essence of Imam Ali, which is Wilayat.

In other words, all risings and growths in the world are from the Wilayat of Imam Ali (AS).
