The first Friday sermon in Al Koufa Mosque
((From Abi Tibat and then from his father: Ali ended his prayer when he entered al-Kufa. on Friday, he attended the prayer and delivered his sermon). Imam said ((That thank Allah and I praise Him asking for His help and following His guidance; I pray that Allah protect me from misguidance. Whom Allah guides, nobody can mislead him, and who misguides, and he will find no guider. I bear witness that no God but except Allah alone with no partner and that Mohammed is His slave and Messenger whom He chose for His order and singled him the prophecy; he is the most dignified among His creatures, and the most loved for Him. He brings the message of His God and did the best for his nation, leading it to his best. You have ordered to fear Allah and you have created for the charity and obedience. So be cautious the torture of Allah which is very severe. You have to fear Allah without any ex-cuse, and work in non-hypocrisy nor reputation, because who does not work to Allah, he will get nothing, but who works to Allah faithfully gaining Allahs reward. You have to avoid the torture of Allah, where He did not create you in vain, and did not leave a thing of your order in vain. He wrote down your traces and knew your work, and wrote down the date of your death. So, do not be proud of present life that is deceiving its people and he is cocky whom it conceited, and then it will be passing away. Moreover, that the afterlife is animal house if they knew. I ask Allah for the homes of the martyrs, and for accompanying the prophets, and the living of happy people for we are for Him and to Him))
