Nahj al-Balaghah for Children
The Rain
The riser has risen,
the sparkler has sparkled,
the appearer has appeared.
Allah has replaced
one people with another.
We awaited these changes
as the famine stricken await the rain.
Certainly the Imams are
the vicegerents of Allah
over his creatures,
and they make people know Allah.
No one will enter Paradise,
except he knows them
and they know him…..
(Sermon 150)
