Chapter One - The Verse of Wilayah

Verily, your Wali (Protector or Helper) is Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down (submit themselves with obedience to Allah in prayer).
Translated by Dr. MT Al-Hilali & Dr. MM Khan

Introduction

The article written 'the verse of Wilayah' by Ansar.Org forms part of their continued efforts to cover up and deny the merits of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib [as] from the Sunni masses. It is merely further evidence of how undercover Nasibis are seeking to infiltrate Sunni ranks and inject their anti Ali [as] poison into the Sunni masses. This article is one such perfect example, and evidences their desire to turn their backs on the classical Sunni scholars of Tafseers, and belittle their commentaries of this verse, solely because the verse descended in honour of Maula Ali [as].

We shall seek at address this Nasibis' lies in a two fold manner. Firstly we shall determine the meaning of Wali in the context of this verse. Once that is proven we shall then turn to the Sunni traditions that have attested that the verse descended in honour of Maula Ali [as]. Thereafter we will leave it to our Sunni readership to ponder over the significance of the verse, and question exactly what was the motive behind Ansar.Org seeking to desperately cover up the importance of this verse.

It is also as a starting point important that we look at the traditional Sunni transliterations of this verse that is itself offered up by Ansar.Org themselves. The role of the believer is split in three parts:

a. establish prayer
b. give charity,
c. they bow down

Our assertions is that the giving of charity is linked to the bowing down, but since it is the objective of Ansar.Org to hide the merits of Maula Ali [as] they have knowingly misinterpreted the verse. The duty to pray is set out in portion of the verse that stipulates and the believers who establish prayer. The act of bowing down is a part of the prayer, so what would be the necessary behind Allah (swt) then mentioning 'and they bow down'. Allah (swt) does not site unnecessary things, the reality is the giving of charity is linked to the act of bowing down and hence our assertion that the verse is like this, and it is this verse that descended to confirm the Wilayat of Maula Ali [as] to the believers.
