The Birth of Light

Ayatollah Bahjat said: "Imam Ridha and Lady Ma'suma are strongly united and connected to each other. Rather, they are all one [divine] light. Thus, whichever one of them man does tawassul to, he receives from the other. Of course, there is a correcting element at work, in the same manner that people sought from the Holy Prophet, and he turned them towards Imam Ali, who diverted them to Imam Hasan and so on all the way to the Imam of the Time, because he is the one who carries out the affairs in this age."
