ONE OF THE MYSTERIES

One of the wonderful mysteries about the personalities of Muhammad, the A-c of God, his daughter Fatema, the Lady of Light, and the Eleven of the Twelve chosen successors (imams) from Ali-al-Murtaza to Hasan-Al-askari, is that all of them were martyred and none of the Holy Fourteen had had any education; and yet they were the fountainhead of a wonderful, divinely-inspired knowledge and were unequalled by any other than those of their own holy group.
Imam Hasan-al-Askari, the 11th Imam, was martyred in 260 A.H. The Abbasid Caliph Mo'tmad sent his men to kill the 12th Imam who, under divine inspiration, took shelter in the cave at 'Surra manra' and disappeared. Many great Sunni Scholars have also accepted this incident, namely:
1 Mullah Jami in his Shawahidun-Nubwwa 2 Abdul-Wahab Sha'rani in his Lawahaqul-Answar and in his Alyawa queet-Wal-Jawahir 3 Shaik-e-Akbar, Mohieddin ibne-Arabi, in his Futuhate- Makkiah 4 Khaja Parsa in Faslul-Khitab 5 Abdul Huq Mohaddis Dehlavi in A'immatul-At'har 6 Jamaluddin Mohaddith in his raudzatul-ahbab 7 Abu-Ahdullah Shami, author of Kifayatul-Tibyan-Fi- Akbare-Sahebuz-Zaman 8 Sibt-ibne-Jawzi in his Tizkirae-Khawasal-Umma 9 lbne-Sabbagh Nuruddin Ali Maleki in his Fusoolul- Muhimma 10 Kamaluddin-bin Talha Shafayi in his Matalebus-Su'ool 11 Shah Valiullah in his Fazlul-Mubeen 12 Shaik Sulaiman Hanafi in his Yanabiul Mo'addah About the indefinite and extraordinary length of life granted to the 12th Imam, the great scholars have said that, when Muslims believe in the life of the holy prophets Jesus, Khizr, Idris and even the Dajjal, why should people wonder about the life of a Divine?
