30. The Progeny of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) Are Masters Over the People – Surah az-Zumar (39:53)

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ 

“Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the Forgiving the Merciful.”

Imam Baqir (a.s.) says, Allah will not accept the excuse of any person on the Day of Judgement, who will say, O my Lord! I did not know that the progeny of Janabe Fatima Zahra (s.a.) were the master upon the people. And the above verse is specially revealed for the Shias of the progeny of Janabe Fatima Zahra (s.a.).¹
