Bridging the gaps in the nation’s history: The Day of Wilayah as a solid strategic pillar to thwart conspiracies and resolve the conflict with the Zionist-American enemy.

The Day of Wilayah represents the most critical strategic juncture in the history of the Muslim nation. It elevated the consciousness of faith from the realm of partial legal rulings to the horizon of a comprehensive leadership and sovereign system capable of preserving the essence of the religion, the nation’s policies, and safeguarding its structure from disintegration. The greatness of this day and its pivotal position in the cultural, religious, and intellectual consciousness stem from its being a decisive divine declaration of the Wilayah of God and His Messenger, and the continuation of the Prophetic mission embodied in Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him. This connection serves as the strategic safeguard that protects the Muslim community from the calamities of a leadership vacuum and the dangers of intellectual and political regression, in accordance with God’s words on this occasion: {This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.}

The historical and practical sanctity of the Day of Wilayah stems from its direct and intimate connection to the perfection of religion and the completion of divine favor. This places the nation, across all generations, before a clear political and intellectual truth: that religion and its noble principles, without qualified and continuous divine leadership, remain merely a theoretical structure devoid of a dynamic spirit, constantly vulnerable to infiltration, co-optation, and manipulation by global powers of arrogance and tyrants. Therefore, this day is not simply a fleeting occasion for emotional celebration or an abstract commemoration, but rather an annual renewal of commitment to and adherence to the wise leadership methodology chosen by God and His Messenger to serve as a political, intellectual, and practical reference point for the nation. This methodology guarantees the continued dignity, freedom, independence, and self-preservation of societies from subservience and subjugation to the tyrants of the earth throughout history.

Frequency of truth and authenticity of the reference
The Hadith of Wilayah and the witnessed declaration on the Day of Ghadir: “O Allah, whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be an enemy to whoever is an enemy to him, and support whoever supports him, and forsake whoever forsakes him,” is classified in historical and hadith documentation methodologies as one of the most definitive and widely transmitted prophetic texts. The Muslim community, across all its intellectual and historical schools, has unanimously agreed upon the authenticity of this event and the magnitude of its significance. It has been recorded in major books and hadith collections such as Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, and al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim, thus elevating this event to the level of irrefutable, documented certainties that cannot be ignored or denied.

This idea was followed by leading scholars and historians such as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari in his book “Al-Wilayah” and Ibn Kathir, who documented the testimonies of more than one hundred and ten Companions and Followers who witnessed the public proclamation. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, intended this unprecedented gathering to be a testament, a document, and a constant presence in the collective memory of the Muslim community. This vast accumulation of documentation confirms that the essence of the message did not leave the matter of leadership to chance, but rather established it as a fundamental principle of Islamic identity.

The intellectual value of this documented consensus lies in its role as a foundation for correcting the historical course. The disagreement never concerned the origin of the text or the occurrence of the event, but rather later attempts to circumvent it, seeking to strip the concept of “Mawla” (guardian/leader) of its comprehensive political and leadership dimensions. The continued existence and transmission of this text across generations constitutes a valid divine and historical argument, obligating the Muslim community to re-evaluate its leadership positions and return to the pure source of Imam Ali’s guardianship as a practical model for the guardianship of God and His Messenger.

Protecting the nation from colonial infiltration
The principle of guardianship (wilayah) in Islam transcends the traditional political concept of authority, becoming a comprehensive cultural and educational system that ensures the integrity, vitality, and effectiveness of the religion in confronting attempts at domestication and Westernization. Divine guardianship is the guarantor of protecting the nation from in
