Nasir (Helper)

Argument 11:

Some blessed names and titles of the Holy Prophet are such that from their significance and meanings, it becomes vividly clear that he was the protector, defender, supporter, helper and an example for his people. This is clear from his holy name “Nasir”, which means helper and supporter and by which is meant the giver of spiritual and luminous help. And in this there cannot be any surprise as he is the universal mercy of God for the people of the entire world. If someone thinks with his intellect, he will come to understand that mercy is not the name of only one favour, but includes all favours, including help, support, and protection. And the same perfect attributes belong to exalted Ali (a.s.) and the noble and holy Imams from his progeny. Therefore, if we say “Ya Ali madad” how can anyone say that we have said something against God’s will? We have not said anything in this that is against God’s will, rather, by saying this we have had recourse to that means which has been appointed by God and His Messenger of mercy.
