Imam Ali (A.S) the Distributor of Paradise and Hell<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lion of God Almighty (Asadullah Al-Ghalib), Ali bin Abi Talib (\u2018a). On all other steps would be the rest of the Messengers, Prophets, and righteous people according to their status. At the base would be the believers, who would also gain entry to that high place. In this praised location (Maqaame-e-Mahmood), for which the Holy Prophet prays, an extraordinarily and extremely handsome angel comes to the Holy Prophet (\u2018s) and says, \u201cI am Rizwan, the keeper of Paradise.\u201d He brings with him the key of the gate of Paradise and says, \u201cI have been ordered to hand over the key to the gate of Paradise to your honor.\u201d Thereafter, an extremely frightening angel comes up and says, \u201cI am the keeper of hell and I am commanded to hand over the key of hell to your honor.\u201d The Holy Prophet says, \u201cO Ali! Take up these keys; the division of people for entry to paradise and hell is in your hand.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

\u201d The Holy Prophet (\u2018s) himself announces, \u201cI am also coming and setting on, on the Sirat. Anyone who has permission from Ali (\u2018a) can cross the bridge of Sirat happily and luckily.\u201d
\nIf the master does not intercede on the Day of Judgment in our favor, we will take offence against the decorator that he made us ugly. (Persian couplet)
\nIt is mentioned in an authentic tradition that, on that Day, all would be wailing, \u201cO God! Be merciful to me, save me, save me.\u201d There would be only one gentleman who would appeal, \u201cO Lord! Save my Ummah, my Ummah (Followers)\u201d, and that person is Muhammad (\u2018s).
\nIt is mentioned in Khasais of Shaykh Sadooq, that when the Holy Prophet (\u2018s) narrated the prophecy of Husain\u2019s martyrdom to Zahra (\u2018a) till he even described the grave of Husain (\u2018a) he said, \u201cTomorrow, on the Day of Judgment, I will intercede in favor of anyone who visits the grave of Husain (\u2018a).\u201d The most hope-filled sentence is that the Holy Prophet said, \u201cI myself would search that person so that I may give salvation to him; even if he is in a deep cavity he would get salvation.\u201d
\nWould such a person have any sign? Yes, it would be written on his forehead in radiant writing: Here is the one who visited the grave of Husain<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is a narration about Prophet Muhammad’s High Station (Maqam-e-Mahmood), which you mention in the Ziyarat of Ashura. It is a part of the Field of Gathering. All the Messengers, saints and righteous people, chief of whom is Muhammad, would be present there.
\nIt is a lofty pulpit of light having a thousand steps.
