A group of Jewish scholars asked Ali, the first successor of

the Muslim Prophet, and his answers, which led to the conversion of Jews to Islam

 

A group of Jews attacked him during the caliphate of Umar and said to him: Are you the successor after your prophet 
We came to ask you some questions. If you answer us, we will believe in Islam and acknowledge you. Omar said: Ask what you think

The elders of the Jews said: Tell us about the seven locks of heaven and its keys, and tell us about the grave that moved with its owner, tell us about the one who warned his people that he was neither of the jinn nor of man. Tell us about the place where the sun rose and did not return to it, tell us about the five that were not born in the womb, tell us about one, about two, about three, four, five, six, seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve?

Umar became silent and lowered his head and did not answer and apologized and said: Only God knows these issues, but the cousin of the Messenger of God, Ali, answers them. So he sent someone to look for him. When he was ready, Umar said to him: O Ali, the Jews asked me some questions, I did not answer them, they guaranteed that if we tell them the answer, they will believe in the Prophet (PBUH). So the Jews raised their issues and it is as follows:

 

The Jewish elders asked: What are the locks of the heavens?
Ali replied: Shirk to God.
The Jewish elders asked: What are their keys?
Ali replied: "There is no God but God."
The Jewish elders asked: What is the grave that moved with its owner?
Ali answered: The fish that Yunus was in his belly and was feeding in the seven seas.
The Jewish elders asked: Who was the one who scared his people, who was neither from the jinn nor from the human?
Ali replied: That ant was during the time of Suleiman bin Dawood.
The Jewish elders asked: What was the position on which the sun shone once and did not shine on it again?
Ali answered: It was the sea that Moses struck with his staff by God's will and it split ((When the sea split, the sun shone on the bottom of the sea)) and saved his companions and drowned Pharaoh.

The Jewish elders asked: What were the five who were not born in the womb?
Ali answered: Adam and Eve, Moses' staff, Saleh's goat, Abraham's ram.
The Jewish elders asked: What is one?
Ali replied: God is the only one who is angry.
The Jewish elders asked: Which are the two?
Ali replied: Adam and Eve.
The Jewish elders asked: Which are the three?
Ali replied: Gabriel, Mikael and Israfil.
The Jewish elders asked: Which are the four?

Ali answered: Torah, Bible, Psalms and Furqan.
The Jewish elders asked: What are the five?
Ali replied: The five obligatory prayers for the Prophet (PBUH).
The Jewish elders asked: What are the six?
Ali answered: The Almighty God said: (We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days) [refer to Surah 50 of the Qur'an, verse 38]: We created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days.
The Jewish elders asked: What are the seven?
Ali answered: The Almighty God said: (And we saw seven times above) [refer to Surah 78 of the Prophet of the Qur'an, verse 14]: We have built seven heavens above you.
The Jewish elders asked: Which are the eight?

Ali replied: The Almighty God said: (And the throne of your Lord will be lifted up on the eighth day) [refer to Surah 69 of the Qur'an, verse 17]: And eight angels will carry the throne of your Lord on their heads on that day.
The Jewish elders asked: Not until what?
Ali replied: The nine verses revealed to Musa bin Imran.
The Jewish elders asked: Which are the ten?
Ali answered: The Almighty God said: (We promised Moses three nights and we promised him ten nights) [refer to Surah 7 A'raf, verse 142]: We made a promise to Moses for thirty nights and completed it with another ten nights.
The Jewish elders asked: Which is the eleventh?
Ali replied: Yusuf said to his father: (Inni raiyat 11 stars) [refer to Surah 12 Yusuf verse 4]: I saw eleven stars in my dream.
The Jewish elders asked: Which is twelve?

Ali replied: The Almighty God said to Moses: (Strike the stone with your staff, and it will blow out of me ten times) So twelve springs began to boil from it.

Letter

The following is Imam Khamenei's letter addressed to Americanuniversity students following their courageous defense of the Palestinian people.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

I am writing this letter to the young people whose awakened conscience has moved them to defend the oppressed women and children of Gaza.

 

Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it.

 

You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government's ruthless pressure—a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime.

 

The greater Resistance Front which shares the same understandings and feelings that you have today, has been engaged in the same struggle for many years in a place far from you. The goal of this struggle is to put an end to the blatant oppression that the brutal Zionist terrorist network has inflicted on the Palestinian nation for many years. After seizing their country, the Zionist regime has subjected them to the harshest of pressures and tortures.

 

The apartheid Zionist regime's genocide today is the continuation of extreme oppressive behavior which has been going on for decades. Palestine is an independent land with a long history. It is a nation comprised of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.  

 

After the World War, the capitalist Zionist network gradually imported several thousand terrorists into this land with the help of the British government. These terrorists attacked cities and villages, murdered tens of thousands of people and pushed out multitudes into neighboring countries. They seized their homes, businesses and farmlands, formed a government in the usurped land of Palestine and called it Israel.

 

After England's initial help, the United States became the greatest supporter of this usurper regime, ceaselessly providing it with political, economic and military support. In an act of unforgivable recklessness, the United States even opened the way and provided assistance for the regime's production of nuclear weapons.

 

The Zionist regime used an iron-fist policy against the defenseless people of Palestine from the very beginning and has, day by day, intensified its brutality, terror and repression in complete disregard of all moral, human and religious values.

 

The United States government and its allies refused to even frown upon this state terrorism and ongoing oppression. And today, some remarks by the US government regarding the horrific crimes taking place in Gaza are more hypocritical than real.

 

The Resistance Front emerged from this dark environment of despair, and the establishment of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran expanded and fortified it.

 

The global Zionist elite – who owns most US and European media corporations or influences them through funding and bribery – has labeled this courageous, humane resistance movement as "terrorism".

Can one call a people a terrorist nation for defending themselves on their own land against the crimes of the occupying Zionists? And is helping such a nation and strengthening it, an act of terrorism?

 

The oppressive leaders of global hegemony mercilessly distort even the most basic human concepts. They portray the ruthless, terrorist Israeli regime as acting in self-defense ­– yet they portray the Palestinian Resistance which defends its freedom, security and the right to self-determination, as terrorists!

 

I would like to assure you that today the circumstances are changing. A different fate awaits the important region of West Asia. The people's conscience has awakened on a global scale, and the truth is coming to light.

 

Moreover, the Resistance Front has grown in strength and will become even stronger.

 

And history is turning a page.

 

Besides you students from dozens of American universities, there have also been uprisings in other countries among academics and the general public.

 

The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development. This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government's police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you. I too am among those who empathize with you young people, and value your perseverance.

 

The Quran's lesson for us Muslims and all of humanity, is to stand up for that which is right: "So be steadfast as you have been commanded" (11:112).

 

The Quran's lesson for human relations is: "Do not oppress and do not be oppressed" (2:279).

 

The Resistance Front advances by a comprehensive understanding and the practice of these and hundreds of other such commands – and will attain victory with the permission of God.

 

My advice to you is to become familiar with the Quran.
