Magnificent Services of the Just Imam, the Promised Messiah as , to Reform the Mutual Controversies and Distorted Beliefs of the Muslims [ 18 ] And one angel addressed Hadrat ‘Al i ra and said: ‘Peace be on you, O heir of the Prophet of God, his khal i fah. ’ Then, the angel requested his [ Hadrat ‘Al i ’s ra ] permission to meet Khi d ar. Hadrat Ali ra gave him permission to meet Khi d ar. Hadrat Salman Farsi r a was present at that moment and asked Hadrat Ali ra if the angels required his [ Hadrat ‘Al i ’s ra ] permission to meet anyone. Hadrat Ali ra replied, ‘By the name of the One Who has erected the heavens without any apparent columns, none of the angels can move for a moment without my permission. My children Hasan and Husain hold the same position and the same goes for their children. ’ (Shia periodical, Durr-e-Najaf Sialkot , special edition al- H aqqu Ma‘ ‘Al i ra Number, Rajab, February 15–24, 1960, vol. 51, iss. 7–8, p. 60) Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran that the angels do not move without His permission and they only follow as He commands them. They never cross those lines. Contrary to the Quran, these Shia writers have twisted the concept about God and His angels as if the angels were under the power of Hadrat Ali ra and they had an insignificant position compared to Hadrat Ali ra.
