Favorite food items of Masoomeen AS

Imam Musa Kazim AS once described dining table etiquettes and some of the favorite dishes liked by all Masoomeen AS.
 One of his followers 'Jaffer Asmi' narrated that, on reaching Madina after the pilgrimage, I and my fellows decided to lunch. We saw a garden of dates over there, we placed a big napkin on the ground and began to start the lunch.
In the meanwhile, I saw "Abul-Hassan AS"(Title of Imam Musa Kazim AS) was coming towards us along with few persons holding some food items.
We embraced him fully and then he joined us there.

Washing Hands before the meal

Before starting the meal, Imam AS washed his hands first and asked a person to help us in washing our hands. He started from the right row first, helped them from the first till the last one, then he moved towards the left row and did the same.

Favorite dish of Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W

Imam AS offered us a lump of fried meat cooked in vinegar and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W".

Favorite dish of Bibi Pak Syeda (Salam Ullah Eliyha)

Now Imam AS presented us olives in vinegar and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W's daughter Bibi Pak Syeda (SA)".

Favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Ali AS

After this Imam AS gave us saffron meat cooked in vinegar and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Ali AS".

Favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Hassan AS

After Saffron meat, Imam AS offered us fried curry meat with eggplant vegetables and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Hassan AS".

Favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Hussain AS

This time, Imam AS asked us to eat a bread mashed in yogurt and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Hussain AS".

Favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Jaffer Sadiq AS

The second last dish was fried eggs and said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Jaffer Sadiq AS".

Favorite dish of Hazrat Imam Musa Kazim AS

In the end, a person carrying a dish came up with lentils sweet and Imam AS said "Bismillah!, eat it because this is the favorite dish of mine (Hazrat Imam Musa Kaim AS) ".

Washing hands again

Now, Imam AS washed his hands again and the same as before a person stood up and started helping us in washing our hands. This time he stared from the left side and then moved towards the right row. 

Picking the leftovers from the napkins

We started picking the food leftovers from the napkins but Imam AS stopped us as we are in an open place and this remaining part is for the birds and insect, rather Imam As said: "if we would have been eating a meal inside the room then this practice would be good".

Imam AS Asked a "Question of Thought"

After having such a wonderful lunch, we all became very happy and then Imam AS asked us a question to think about it.

Imam AS said, "How much you are merciful and kind?". We all replied, "we are onto the utmost level of mercifulness and kindness". Imam AS said, "If one of your poor fellow/brothers goes into your house in your absence, asks home members about your wealth baggage, tear the sewing of the baggage and take some money out of it to fulfill his need, what will you think about it?".

We answered him"Yes, surely we will mind it".Then Imam As told us: "Your mercy and kindness towards the poor brothers are on not favorite levels"

Dear all, it is also a food of thought for all of us!!.

Imam Ali (AS) Virtues

Hazrat Imam Ali AS is known for his miracles and virtues. Some of his famous virtues are common to all but few of them are not, those non-popular ones are mentioned here.

Narrated by Abdullah ibne Abbass (RA)

Once Abdullah Ibne Abbass was in the palace of Mawiyah ibne Abu Sufiyan. Few scholars came into the palace and said to Mawiyah "our King of Rome sent us here to demand something from you". 

Mawiyah replied: "go ahead".

They said, "we have brought a little crystal bottle with us and our king wants you to fill it with all the things of this universe".

Mawiyah was surprised by his demand. He said, "How I could fill this little bottle with all the creations of this universe?"

The scholars got disappointed and wanted to go back, suddenly Abdullah Ibne Abbass stopped them and said "Let me solve your problem" Mawiyah allowed him to do so. Abdullah Ibne Abbass filled the bottle with water and said: "Take this to your king now". Mawiyah looked towards Abdulla astonishingly and  Abdulla Said "Yes! everything in this universe is created from the water that is why I filled it with water, now you can see the whole universe is confined in this little bottle.

Mawiyah was amused by Abdullah's knowledge and said: "where did you seek this kind of knowledge?"

Abdullah replied "I got it from the greatest scholar of all-Hazrat Ali AS"

Mawiyah said, "As you are also a scholar, so what is the difference between both of you?"

Abdullah Ibne Abbass replied with a smile "Same like the difference between the water in the bottle and the water of the sea"

Narrated by Baba Fareed Ganj Shaker (R)

Hazrat baba Fareed Ganj Shaker was the pious spiritual personality.

Once he was sitting with his followers, after preaching his followers started dispersing but one of them stood there. Baba Fareed said to him why he is not leaving then he replied: "I want to stay here more ".After some time he asked a question to baba Fareed, "as you are a pious person and so as Imam Ali (AS), so what is the difference between both of you?".

Baba Fareed asked him humbly; "From where you belong and what do you do?". He said, "I worked for a rich man who lives in the village 'Malika Hans', I used to take care of his cows and other animals".

Baba Fareed then said, "So what does your master eat?". He said "A wheat bread", baba again asked and what do you eat? he replied "the same meal -a bread made up of wheat"

Now Baba Fareed again asked, "As both of you having the same meal, so what is the difference between both of you?"

He said: "There is a big difference, my master eats his food but I use to eat food given by him".

Finally, Baba Fareed told him: "Dear! same is the case with me, Ali AS eats his own food (food of knowledge), but I use to take food (food of knowledge) from Imam Ali AS".

Narrated by Imam Ahmed Bin Hambal

Imam Ahmed Bin Hambal is the name famous in non-Shiite sects. Although he is from a different school of thought but still he praised a lot about Imam Ali AS in his preachings.

Once he was sitting among his followers and sons. One of his sons asked: "Dear Father! is it true that people say Imam Ali AS is the separator of Heaven and Hell?".

Imam Hambal said: "Yes that's true". Son asked how and Imam Ahmed replied: "It is Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W's saying, no hypocrite could ever fall in love with Imma Ali AS and none of his lover could be a hypocrite one, so according to this no hypocrite will go into the heaven and any of his lover in hell ".

On such praise, all of them became silent for a while. Then one of his sons again asked: "Please tell us about the most honorable Sahabi of Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W". Imam Ahmed told them few names of Sahaba Karam RA.

Another son asked about the most perfect Sahabi, again Imam Ahmed replied with a few list of Sahabi.

Now this time, one final said "who is the greatest Sahabi out of all'. Imam again came with the list of few greatest Sahaba Karam.

After hearing this all, they said "Father! haven't you recently praised a lot about Imam Ali AS, don't you find him an honorable, perfect and greatest Sahabi at all? "

Imam Ahmed Bin Hamabl then smiled and said "You asked about the Sahabi e Rasool Khuda S.A.W.W that is why I told you all the names of Sahaba Karam RA, but if you would ask about "a person who favored Islam a lot" then my answer would have been, Imam Ali AS"

Theory of creation by Imam Ali A.S

Imam Ali Ibne Abi Talib(AS)

His childhood

Imam "Ali ibn Abi Talib" is the First Imam and 2nd Masoom -the infallible. He was born in Makkah in the Holy place of Kabah on 13th Rajab 600 AD. He was the son of brave and generous man Abu Talib ibne Abdul al-Mutalib AS.

He was the first person who became the Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W's follower in his childhood and remained his faithful brother till the death.

His spouse

He was the son in law of Prophet S.A.W.W as well. Prophet 's S.A.W.W daughter "Syeda Fatima SA" was a very honorable and respected lady of Islam. She is the "Queen" of all women of heaven. She lives in the heart of all momineen.

His Children

Imam Ali AS had 28 children from 8 wives after Prophets's daughter martyrdom. When Hazrat Fatima SA was alive Imam Ali AS didn't marry any other women.
Famous sons of Imam Ali (AS) are Husnaian Kareemain (AS) and Abbass Ibne Ali. Hasnain is the leader of all men of heaven. They are just like the pearls of "Lolu and Merjan" according to the verse of the Quran's chapter Al-Rehman. They are the residents of the "Throne of GOD". They are the members of the great robe of the "Hadith-e-Kisa". Hadith-e-Kisa is the hadith that describes their purity which distinguishes them from other humans.

His bravery

He was the one great soldier. He won so many battles like "Battle of the Bader", "Battle of the Ohad", "Battle of the Khandak", "Battel of the Khaiber" and "Battel of the Honain". In the battle of Bader, he was the commander of only 313 army, even though he won this battle. In the battle of Ohad, he saved Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W 's life. In Khaiber, he faced Jews and conquer the great castle by his extraordinary power. Battle of Khandak was the battle around the huge trunk but he defeated the bravest warrior 'Amer-ibn- Abde-Wadh' who crossed this trunk.
After these battles, he didn't fight for about 20 years and then he again conquered the battles of Sifeen, Nehrwan, and Jamal. His famous sword name is "Zulfiqar" that is gifted by God in the battle of Ohad. He was the flag holder in all battles.

His Charity

Like "Abu Talib ibne Abdul Mutalib", he was also very kind and generous to the poor. Once he was offering prayer, a poor person came and asked for help, he gave his ring that was equivalent to the Prophet Solman's whole kingdom.
Similarly, one day when he was about to open his fast, a bagger came and Imam Ali AS gave his all meal to that bagger. Not only Imam Ali As, but all his other family members did the same thing until three consecutive days for different needy ones.

His leadership

He was chosen by Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W  as his next successor on the "ground of Ghadeer" in front of 1 Lac 24 thousand Prophet's followers. Prophet(PBUH) Said loudly to everyone over there " Whose I am master, for those Imam AS is his master".

Imam Ali AS has so many extraordinary virtues amongst all Mulsim. He is the master of all human and Jins, leader of all saints, all pious people and will remain leader from Prophet Adam(PBUH) and after Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W. He is not only the leader but the direction for all saints. He is the partitioner of  Heaven and Hell. 

His Honour

When Prophet Mohammed S.A.W.W was migrating to Madina from Makkah, he had some people's wealth whom Prophet was taking care of. Prophet S.A.W.W found only Imam Ali AS as an honest person who will return back this wealth to their owners and then migrate afterward. For this reason, he slept on the bed of Prophet(PBUH) for one night to decoy the enemies and return back the people's wealth. This is the great honor of Imam Ali AS as he was chosen as an honest person and slept on the heavenly bed of Prophet S.A.W.W for a night.

Theory of creation by Imam Ali A.S :

The human body is made from the basic four elements (Soil, Water, Fire, and Air) GOD created a human body. The human body is such a masterpiece. To understand its creation process we must look from scratch to finishing. Whole process is step by step is mentioned here:

Soil(dust):

 From soil God, chose soil from regular and irregular surfaces. Regular means soft and smooth surface and from irregular, it means slinging mud and solid surface. God selected 4 different colors of soil. Colors were Black, Red, Yellow and white. 

Water: 

Water is the second basic element. God selected four different types of water to make a human body. Types are Salty, Bitter, Sweet and Smelly. 

Fire:

 Fire is the third basic element. From fire, God made this mixture dry. 

Air: 

God blew the air in cyclone form to create secretion from their relevant organs. Organs are Heart, Stomach, Kidneys/Liver and Lungs. And secretions are Blood (Heart), Mucus (Lungs), Bile (Liver/Kidneys) and Air (Stomach). Body -the final outcome: After all this, a self-sustainable, intelligent and flexible body came into existence.

Quranic references:

Almost every single Muslim has faith in this theory because they have faith in QURAN.

1.     Quran says; "Surely, the likeness of Isa is with ALLAH as the likeness of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, be, and he was.[3:59]".

Here the point is, dust is a non-living object.

2.     “Allah S.W.T created everything from water. Quran [24:45]

Another point to ponder is, water is also a non-living object.

So the both basic elements are mentioned in the Quran Pak from which the human body and every other living object on earth is created
