Ansar Allah The Helpers of Allah By: Muhammad Ebrahim In the name of Allah, the One, The Conqueror. All praises and thanks is due to Him (swt), our praising & thanks deserves thanks and praising. Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, his kinship of Imams and Mahdis (peace be upon them) This is dedicated to the wonderful brothers & sisters scattered throughout the earth who have heard the call from the kingdom of the Heavens about Ahmad Al-Hassan (as), the Yamani from the Ahlul-Bayt (as), the Messenger from Jesus (as) to the Christians, the messenger of Elijah (as) to the Jews and the messenger from Imam Mahdi (as) to the Muslims. Those blessed brothers and sisters who will satisfy only with light and no darkness, who stand for the religion that which Allah (swt) wants and reject the religion of the people and that which the people want. I pray that Allah (swt) keep you all safe and take you into the salvation of being under the banner of guidance, the banner of Allegiance is to Allah (swt) only, only, that Allah (swt) Keep you all strong in delivering the message to all the nations and that I could be counted amongst all of you Insha’Allah. You all are my family and I love you very much for the sake of Allah (swt). The Holy Qur’an (61:14) O you who believe! be helpers [Ansar] (in the cause) of Allah, as Isa son of Mariam said to (his) disciples: Who are my helpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We are helpers (in the cause) of Allah. So a party of the children of Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then We aided those who believed against their enemy, and they became uppermost. On the day of Ashura, facing the tyrants who came to attack the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) at Karbala, Imam Hussain (a.s) called out: “Is there anyone out there who will help me?” The words of Imam Hussain (a.s) are still echoing today “Is there anyone out there who will help me?" Has there been anyone who has answered to the call of Imam Hussain (a.s)? What exactly was he calling for? What was Imam Hussain (a.s) seeking help with? Imam Hussain (a.s) said: “I never revolted in vain, as a rebel or as a tyrant, but I rose seeking reformation for the nation of my grandfather Muhammad (s.a.w). I intend to enjoin good and forbid evil, to act according to the traditions of my grandfather Muhammad (s.a.w), and my father ‘Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s)”. The religion of his grandfather and father stood for implementing only that which Allah (swt) ordained and to reject or abstain from all that which Allah (swt) has commanded to be avoided. The religion which came to change the way a man would treat his brother, and to see that the rights of the people would be fulfilled, where everyone is seen as equal in the eyes of the Lord. There has for all times been those who seek to oppose that which was ordained by Allah (swt) of laws. A people whose aim was to gather more of everything, whether it be power or wealth only for themselves and who believe that they are better than the rest of the people, from whom their rights they usurp. It has long been like this and it began with Iblis (May Allah curse him), when he showed disobedience
