The guide for the life path; shining stars
Jaabir1 said that the prophet Muhammad (pbuh&h) had stated some sentences after morning prayer. The prophet stated”
God created us and considered us as stars
It means whoever was deprived of the sun, had better turn to the moon
And if deprived of the moon, had better turn to The Polaris!”
Jaabir asked, ”O, the messenger of Allah! Who is the sun?”
The prophet (pbuh&h) stated,”
I am the sun. Whenever I am hidden, turn to the moon.”
Jaabir asked,” Who is the moon?”
The prophet (pbuh&h) stated:
He is my brother2[ imam Ali( pbuh)], Successor, the dominant for Islam, my children’s father3 and the caliph; chosen by me for my Ahl al Bayt4( pbu th)
And also those 2 polar stars are my” Hassan and Hussain( pbu th)”.
Then he paused and stated: now you know them, but
Fatima( pbuh) is the star” Venus” among Ahl. Al Bayt( pbu th).
All of them live based on holy Quran, and they are considered as a unit. Finally we will get together around Kawthar5.
