maybe he was hiding with usama lol
The holy creed of the Twelvers in the past to the present, before Mohammad was sent as a mercy and after he was sent, is to believe in constant consistency with God with respect the people who guide by the truth and is to believe God is the Master through his chosen ones, in all times, in all places, past to present, and is to give no one the leadership of the Messengers or any portion of religious authority to anyone but to the families of the reminders of the times and places they were in, the Twelve Captains of each founder, who alone can steer us to the right course and navigate the just city the world is meant to become, who people were always meant to seek knowledge from and come thirsty to as opposed to the thousands or millions of streams of ignorance that are filled with filth and falsehood. We believe in the light that God has brought down, be it hidden or manifest, be the leader apparently with us so that we can oppress him and jail him and make him suffer or be he hidden so that his followers be tested with bearing patience of mockery of the disbelievers in the unseen guidance of God's Lion and champion on earth. We testify God always clarifies his affair and authority and is sufficient as a Guide through his chosen ones. The channel of love to God and his creation by which we are all connected, the name of God, the link between heaven and earth, the means to God. I testify Mohamad is the first light, and Ali is the second light, and the Leaders are the means towards meeting God and barriers against the enemies of God.
