The Fruit of the Tree of Monotheism

The text explains that in Shiʿa belief, true monotheism is inseparable from recognizing the Imams. Knowing Allah leads to accepting Prophethood and Imamate, with Wilayah as the religion’s core. Monotheism bears fruit only through knowing the Imam of one’s time, especially Imam Mahdi, without whom faith remains incomplete.

“After a Sign”

Aba Basir asked **Imam Musa ibn Ja‘far (PBUH)** how an Imam can be recognized. The Imam explained four signs: appointment by the previous Imam, answering all questions and speaking without being asked, knowledge of the future, and understanding every language. He then demonstrated this miracle, proving divine appointment and perfect knowledge.
