Or with what conveys that meaning. Indeed, our master the Commander of the Faithful is the True Deity (al-Ilah al-Haqq) from the aspect of the esoteric (al-batin),
and the True Imam from the aspect of the exoteric (al-zahir). Whatever the disbelievers followed besides him and whoever they took as guides among the Imams of misguidance is the falsehood (al-batil).
The Second: In the phrase “and because Allah is the Most High (al-'Ali), the Grand,” meaning that Allah is Ali, the Grand in his power, his knowledge, his miracles, his attributes, and his exploits, which can neither be delimited nor comprehended, and in which no one can rival him.
The Third Verse: [“So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector (mawla); and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper (nasir).”] 1
Meaning: hold fast to the rope of Allah, which is the authority (wilayah) of your master the Commander of the Faithful, for in it is salvation and triumph. The word mawla (protector/master) has not been testified for anyone as it has been for our master Ali, and likewise the word nasir (helper), considering that he aided the Messenger and aided Islam.
