🍃 Sermon 2: I praise Allah seeking completion of His Blessing...

🍃 Delivered on return from Siffin 🍃

🍃 Arabia before proclamation of Prophethood

ومن خطبة له ) عليه السلام (بعد انصرافه من صفين

وفيها حال الناس قبل البعثة وصفة آل النبي ثمّ صفة قوم آخرين:

I praise Allah seeking completion of His Blessing, submitting to His Glory and expecting safety from committing His sins. I invoke His help being in need of His Sufficiency (of protection). He whom He guides does not go astray, He with whom He is hostile gets no protection. He whom He supports does not remain needy. Praise is most weighty of all that is weighed and the most valuable of all that is treasured.

أحْمَدُهُ اسْتِتْماماً لِنِعْمَتِهِ، وَاسْتِسْلاَماً لِعِزَّتِهِ، واسْتِعْصَاماً مِنْ مَعْصِيَتِهِ، وَأَسْتَعِينُهُ فَاقَةً إِلى كِفَايَتِهِ، إِنَّهُ لاَ يَضِلُّ مَنْ هَدَاهُ، وَلا يَئِلُ مَنْ عَادَاهُ، وَلا يَفْتَقِرُ مَنْ كَفَاهُ; فَإِنَّهُ أَرْجَحُ ما وُزِنَ، وَأَفْضَلُ مَا خُزِنَ.

I stand witness that there is no god but Allah the One. He has no like. My testimony has been tested in its frankness, and its essence is our belief. We shall cling to it for ever till we live and shall store it for facing the tribulations that overtake us because it is the foundation stone of Belief (iman) and the first step towards good actions and Divine pleasure. It is the means to keep Satan away.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، شَهَادَةً مُمْتَحَناً إِخْلاَصُهَا، مُعْتَقَداً مُصَاصُهَا، نَتَمَسَّكُ بها أَبَداً ما أَبْقانَا، وَنَدَّخِرُهَا لاِهَاوِيلِ مَا يَلْقَانَا، فَإِنَّها عَزيمَةُ الاْيمَانِ، وَفَاتِحَةُ الاْحْسَانِ، وَمَرْضَاةُ الرَّحْمنِ، وَمَدْحَرَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ.

I also stand witness that Muhammad (S) is His slave and His Prophet. Allah sent him with the illustrious religion, effective emblem, written Book,1 effulgent light, sparkling gleam and decisive injunction in order to dispel doubts, present clear proofs, administer warning through signs and to warn of punishments. At that time people had fallen in vices whereby the rope of religion had been broken, the pillars of belief had been shaken, principles had been sacrileged, system had become topsy turvy, openings were narrow, passage was dark, guidance was unknown and darkness prevailed.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، أرْسَلَهُ بِالدِّينِ المشْهُورِ، وَالعَلَمِ المأْثُورِ، وَالكِتَابِ المسْطُورِ، وَالنُّورِ السَّاطِعِ، وَالضِّيَاءِ اللاَّمِعِ، وَالاَمْرِ الصَّادِعِ، إزَاحَةً لِلشُّبُهَاتِ، وَاحْتِجَاجاً بِالبَيِّنَاتِ، وَتَحْذِيراً بِالايَاتِ، وَتَخْويفاً بِالمَثُلاَتِ، وَالنَّاسُ في فِتَن انْجَذَمَ فِيها حَبْلُ الدِّينِ، وَتَزَعْزَعَتْ سَوَارِي اليَقِينِ، وَاخْتَلَفَ النَّجْرُ، وَتَشَتَّتَ الاْمْرُ، وَضَاقَ الْـمَخْرَجُ، وَعَمِيَ المَصْدَرُ، فَالهُدَى خَامِلٌ، واَلعَمَى شَامِلٌ.

Allah was being disobeyed, Satan was given support and Belief had been forsaken. As a result the pillars of religion fell down, its traces could not be discerned, its passages had been destroyed and its streets had fallen into decay. People obeyed Satan and treaded his paths. They sought water from his watering places. Through them Satan’s emblems got flying and his standard was raised in vices which trampled the people under their hoofs, and treaded upon them with their feet. The vices stood on their toes (in full stature) and the people immersed in them were strayed, perplexed, ignorant and seduced as though in a good house2 with bad neighbours. Instead of sleep they had wakefulness and for antimony they had tears in the eyes. They were in a land where the learned were in bridle (keeping their mouths shut) while the ignorant were honoured.

عُصِيَ الرَّحْمنُ، وَنُصِرَ الشَّيْطَانُ، وَخُذِلَ الاِْيمَانُ، فَانْهَارَتْ دَعَائِمُهُ، وَتَنكَّرَتْ مَعَالِمُهُ، وَدَرَسَتْ سُبُلُهُ، وَعَفَتْ شُرُكُهُ.

أَطَاعُوا الشَّيْطَانَ فَسَلَكُوا مَسَالِكَهُ، وَوَرَدُوا مَنَاهِلَهُ، بِهِمْ سَارَتْ أَعْلامُهُ، وَقَامَ لِوَاؤُهُ، في فِتَن دَاسَتْهُمْ بِأَخْفَافِهَا، وَوَطِئَتْهُمْ بأَظْلاَفِهَا وَقَامَتْ عَلَى سَنَابِكِهَا، فَهُمْ فِيهَا تَائِهُونَ حَائِرونَ جَاهِلُونَ مَفْتُونُونَ، في خَيْرِ دَار، وَشَرِّ جِيرَان، نَوْمُهُمْ سُهُودٌ، وَكُحْلُهُمْ دُمُوعٌ، بأَرْض عَالِمُها مُلْجَمٌ، وَجَاهِلُها مُكْرَمٌ.

🍃 In the same sermon Amir al-mu’minin referred to Al an-Nabi (the Household of the Holy Prophet) as under

ومنها: ويعني آل النبي ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)

They are the trustees of His secrets, shelter for His affairs, source of knowledge about Him, centre of His wisdom, valleys for His books and mountains of His religion. With them Allah straightened the bend of religion’s back and removed the trembling of its limbs.

هُمْ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّهِ، وَلَجَأُ أَمْرِهِ، وَعَيْبَةُ عِلْمِهِ، وَمَوْئِلُ حُكْمِهِ، وَكُهُوفُ كُتُبِهِ، وَجِبَالُ دِينِه، بِهِمْ أَقَامَ انْحِناءَ ظَهْرِهِ، وَأذْهَبَ ارْتِعَادَ فَرَائِصِهِ.

🍃 In the same Sermon he spoke about the hypocrites

منها: يعني بها قوماً آخرين

They sowed vices, watered them with deception and harvested destruction.

زَرَعُوا الفُجُورَ، وَسَقَوْهُ الغُرُورَ، وَحَصَدُوا الثُّبُورَ ،

🍃 Ali Muhammad

آل محمد (عليه السلام)

None in the Islamic community can be taken at par with the Progeny3 of the Prophet (Ali Muhammad). One who was under their obligation cannot be matched with them. They are the foundation of religion and pillar of Belief. The forward runner has to turn back to them while the follower has to overtake them. They possess the chief characteristics for vicegerency. In their favour exists the will and succession (of the Prophet). This is the time when right has returned to its owner and diverted to its centre of return.

لا يُقَاسُ بِآلِ مُحَمَّد (عليهم السلام) مِنْ هذِهِ الاُمَّةِ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُسَوَّى بِهِمْ مَنْ جَرَتْ نِعْمَتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ أبَداً.

هُمْ أَسَاسُ الدِّينِ، وَعِمَادُ اليَقِينِ، إِلَيْهمْ يَفِيءُ الغَالي، وَبِهِمْ يَلْحَقُ التَّالي، وَلَهُمْ خَصَائِصُ حَقِّ الوِلايَةِ، وَفِيهِمُ الوَصِيَّةُ وَالوِرَاثَةُ، الاْنَ إِذْ رَجَعَ الحَقُّ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، وَنُقِلَ إِلَى مُنْتَقَلِهِ.

1. The Preserved Record.

2. Good House means ‘Mecca’ while the bad neighbours mean the ‘Unbelievers of Quraysh.’

3. About the Progeny of the Prophet Amir al-mu'minin has said that no person in the world can be brought at par with them, nor can any one be deemed their equal in sublimity, because the world is overladen with their obligations and has been able to secure eternal blessings only through their guidance. They are the corner stone and foundation of religion and the sustenance for its life and survival. They are such strong pillars of knowledge and belief that they can turn away the stormy flow of doubt and suspicion. They are such middle course among the paths of excess and backwardness that if some one goes far towards excess and exaggeration or falls behind then unless he comes back or steps forward to that middle course he cannot be on the path of Islam. They possess all the characteristics which give the superiority in the right for vicegerency and leadership. Consequently, no one else in the ummah enjoys the right of patronage and guardianship. That is why the Prophet declared them his vicegerents and successors. About will and succession the commentator Ibn Abi'l-Hadid Mu`tazili writes that there can be no doubt about the vicegerency of Amir al-mu'minin but succession cannot imply succession in position although the Shi`ite sect has so interpreted it. It rather implies succession of learning.

Now, if according to him succession is taken to imply succession in learning even he does not seem to succeed in achieving his object, because even by this interpretation the right of succeeding the Prophet does not devolve on any other person. When it is agreed that learning is the most essential requirement of khilafah (caliphate) because the most important functions of the Prophet's Caliph consist of dispensation of justice, solving problems of religious laws, clarifying intricacies and administration of religious penalties. If these functions are taken away from the Prophet's deputy his position will come down to that of a worldly ruler. He cannot be regarded as the pivot of religious authority. Therefore either we should keep governmental authority separate from Prophet's vicegerency or accept the successor of Prophet's knowledge to suit that position.

The interpretation of Ibn Abi'l-Hadid could be acceptable if Amir al-mu'minin had uttered this sentence alone, but observing that it was uttered soon after `Ali's (p.b.u.h.) recognition as Caliph and just after it the sentence "Right has returned to its owner" exists, this interpretation of his seems baseless. Rather, the Prophet's will cannot imply any other will except that for vicegerency and caliphate, and succession would imply not succession in property nor in knowledge because this was not an occasion to mention it here but it must mean the succession in the right leadership which stood proved as from Allah not only on the ground of kinship but on the ground of qualities of perfection.

SIAC Arbitration: An Overview

Introduction Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes between parties without resorting to litigation in courts. Arbitration is usually faster, cheaper, and more confidential than litigation. Arbitration also allows the parties to choose the arbitrators, the rules of procedure, and the applicable law. One of the leading arbitration institutions in the world is the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). SIAC is a not-for-profit international arbitration organisation based in Singapore, which administers arbitrations under its own rules of arbitration and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules12. SIAC was established on 1 July 1991 and is located at Maxwell Chambers, formerly the Customs House2. SIAC has a reputation for providing high-quality, efficient, and impartial arbitration services. SIAC has handled over 6,000 cases from 147 countries and territories, involving parties from various sectors and industries1. SIAC has a panel of over 500 independent and experienced arbitrators from 46 jurisdictions, who are experts in various fields of law and practice1. SIAC also has a Court of Arbitration, which oversees the case administration and appointment of arbitrators, and a Secretariat, which handles the day-to-day operations of SIAC1. Arbitration Clause for SIAC To refer their disputes to SIAC for arbitration, the parties need to include an arbitration clause in their contract. An arbitration clause is a written agreement between the parties that they will submit any present or future disputes arising out of or in connection with their contract to arbitration, instead of litigation. SIAC provides model arbitration clauses on its website for the parties to use or adapt. The model clauses vary depending on whether the parties wish to arbitrate under the SIAC Rules or the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, and whether they wish to specify the seat (legal place) of arbitration, the number of arbitrators, and the language of arbitration1. For example, a simple arbitration clause for SIAC Rules arbitration could be: Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC Rules”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be .* The Tribunal shall consist of arbitrator(s).* The language of the arbitration shall be .* *The parties may agree on any seat, number of arbitrators, and language of arbitration. If they do not agree, these matters will be determined by SIAC or the Tribunal in accordance with the SIAC Rules. Invocation of Arbitration Clause To commence an arbitration under SIAC, the party initiating the arbitration (the claimant) must submit a notice of arbitration to SIAC and to the other party (the respondent). The notice of arbitration must include: - A request for arbitration; - The names and contact details of the parties and their representatives; - A reference to the arbitration clause or agreement; - A brief description of the contract and the dispute; - The relief or remedy sought; - The preferred number of arbitrators (if not agreed by the parties); - The preferred seat of arbitration (if not agreed by the parties); - The preferred language of arbitration (if not agreed by the parties); and - A copy of the contract containing the arbitration clause or agreement1. The claimant must also pay a non-refundable filing fee to SIAC. The amount of the filing fee depends on whether the arbitration is under the SIAC Rules or the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules1. The date on which SIAC receives both the notice of arbitration and the filing fee is deemed to be the date of commencement of the arbitration. Appointment of Members of Tribunal The number and method of appointment of arbitrators are determined by the parties’ agreement or by SIAC in accordance with the applicable rules. Under the SIAC Rules, if the parties have agreed on a sole arbitrator, they may jointly nominate an arbitrator within 14 days from receipt of notice from SIAC. If they fail to do so, SIAC will appoint an arbitrator. If they have agreed on three arbitrators, each party may nominate one arbitrator within 14 days from receipt of notice from SIAC. The two party-nominated arbitrators will then nominate a third arbitrator within 14 days from their confirmation. If any party fails to nominate an arbitrator or if the two party-nominated arbitrators fail to nominate a third arbitrator, SIAC will appoint an arbitrator1. Under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, if the parties have agreed on a sole arbitrator, they may jointly nominate an arbitrator within 30 days from receipt of notice from SIAC. If they fail to do so, SIAC will appoint an arbitrator. If they have agreed on three arbitrators, each party may nominate one arbitrator within 30 days from receipt of notice from SIAC. The two party-nominated arbitrators will then nominate a third arbitrator within 30 days from their confirmation. If any party fails to nominate an arbitrator or if the two party-nominated arbitrators fail to nominate a third arbitrator, SIAC will appoint an arbitrator1. In both cases, SIAC will appoint an arbitrator from its panel of arbitrators, unless it considers that there are exceptional circumstances that require the appointment of an arbitrator from outside the panel. SIAC will also take into account the parties’ preferences, the nature and circumstances of the dispute, and the nationality, qualifications, and availability of the arbitrators1. Rules of Procedure - The rules of procedure for SIAC arbitration are mainly governed by the parties’ agreement or by the applicable rules. The parties may agree on any procedural matters that are not contrary to the applicable rules or mandatory law. The Tribunal has the power to conduct the arbitration in such manner as it considers appropriate, subject to the parties’ agreement and the applicable rules. Some of the main procedural matters that are regulated by the SIAC Rules or the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules include: - The exchange of statements of claim and defence, and any counterclaims and replies; - The production of documents and other evidence; - The appointment of experts and witnesses; - The conduct of hearings and written submissions; - The determination of issues of jurisdiction, admissibility, relevance, materiality, and weight of evidence; - The application of interim or emergency measures; - The calculation and allocation of costs; and - The rendering of awards13. The Tribunal may also adopt any additional rules or guidelines that it considers appropriate for the efficient and fair conduct of the arbitration, such as the SIAC Practice Notes or the International Bar Association Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration. Conclusion SIAC arbitration is a popular and effective method of resolving international commercial disputes. SIAC arbitration offers many advantages to the parties, such as flexibility, neutrality, expertise, efficiency, and finality. To refer their disputes to SIAC arbitration, the parties need to include an arbitration clause in their contract. To commence an arbitration under SIAC, the claimant needs to submit a notice of arbitration and pay a filing fee to SIAC. The appointment of arbitrators is done by the parties or by SIAC in accordance with the applicable rules. The rules of procedure for SIAC arbitration are mainly determined by the parties’ agreement or by the applicable rules. The Tribunal has wide discretion to conduct the arbitration in a manner that ensures a fair and expeditious resolution of the dispute. Read the full article
