Islamic text Five: Some Parts of the Prophet’s Speech at Qadir

In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise and thanks be to Allah who is Supreme in His uniqueness. His knowledge is upon every being while He is in His place, and He controls all creatures by His power and logic. He has always been praised and will be forever. I thank Him very much and always praise Him, though in comfort or in trouble, though in difficulty or in peace.
Gabriel came down three times and chose me to stand here and announce to any black or white person that Ali, the son of Abu Talib, is my brother, my substitute, and the leader of my nation after me. His relation to me is the same as the relation of Haroun to Moses except that there is no prophet after me.
