Verily, Wilayat e-Ameer ul Momineen Ali (as) is the Khair-il-ammal as mentioned in PARWAZ DAR MALKOOT.
But it really surprises me when people give priority to ammal (such as
namaz, roza etc.) over khair-il-ammal, by saying that expressing
shahadaat-e-salassa is not allowed (nauzo billah) in ammal.

One
should make this point clear in his mind that namaz (or any other
ammal) can only be an act of righteousness if it contains
Ali-un-waliullah in its content. Is there any logic to exclude the testimony of some one who himself is “Namaz”?

I declare that reciting Ali-un-waliullah in namaz is compulsory.Following is the summary of some of the references from
Quran....

1. Surah Al-Muarij

“And
those who are upright in their testimonies, and those who keep a guard
on their prayer, those shall be in garden, honoured.”

Now if we analyse this quranic verse through Arabic dictionary we will come to know that “shahadaat”
is a plural which refers to 3 testimonies, not 2 testimonies. So this
made one thing clear that shahadaat-e-salassa (three testimonies) is
compulsory according to quran and its expression is mandatory for all
momineen.

Now
the second problem is who are referred in this verse.well if you would
have read my article on “Khilafat-e-Imam Ali (as)” you would have known
that in Surah Al-Maida (verse # 55) Allah Said:

“Your wali is Allah and His prophet and the Momin who offers his prayers and gives alms to needy in state of Rakuu.”

This Quranic verse refers to H.Ali (as) who gave his ring to a needy while he was in Rakuu in Masjid-e-Nabvi. This made
it crystal clear that Wilayat-e-Imam Ali (as) is compulsory in every act (namaz, roza etc.)

2. Surah Al Maida:

Quran said "Al Youma Akmalto Lakum Deenakum......"

This Ayat was revealed on

the day of Ghadeer and the word " Al youm" signifies that on one special day
one special thing happened which completed the deen ‘ Islam' . The history
stands witness that the thing that happened on that day was the announcement of
Wilayat of Maula Ali (AS). If we look at the verses that were sent before
announcing the completion of Deen Islam we will notice that the order from God
Almighty to convey this message was so strict that if this announcement was not
made the Risalat of Rasool-e-Khuda (pbuh & hp) would have been in danger.

If Rasool-e-Khuda (pbuh & hp) would not have announced the

Wilayat of Maula Ali (AS) could his Risalat be saved? Could the Deen Islam be
saved without this announcement? Is Namaz not included in Deen? Thus, if
without testifying and announcing this Shahadat the Risalat of our Holy Prophet
(pbuh & hp) was incomplete, The Deen Islam was incomplete - How can the
prayers (Namaz) of anyone be complete without it?

3. Surah Fatir:

"Whoever desires honour, then to

Allah belongs the honour wholly.To him do ascend the good words ( Al kelam Al tayyab); and good deeds, lift
them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, they shall have a severe
chastisement; and (as for) their plan, it shall perish."

In the above mentioned verse of Quran the word used is "Al

Kelam Al Tayyab" which is again in plural form (Sega-e-Jama) and as mentioned
above in Arabic the plural form like this is only only used for Three or more.
So the usage of "Al Kelam Al Tayyab" or the The Purified (3 or More)
Kalamas clearly indicates that the Kalma which reaches and is accepted by God
Almighty consists of Three or more Kalma. Now if we see the majority of Muslims
including some Shias only recite Two Kalmas (Kalma-e-Tauheed &
Kalma-e-Risalat) in Tashahud.

And I believe this type of Kalama does not reach or is not accepted
by God Almighty as he only accepts the shahadat (witness) which consists of 3
or more Kalmas.

Now let's see how Imam Jafar e Sadiq (AS) explains the words "Al Kelam Al
Tayyab"

Our Imam (AS) said:

"Al Kelam Al Tayyab means the act of momin whereby he

recites La illaha illallah - Mohammedun Rasool Allah and Ali-un Waliullah."

Reference:

The above is an absolutely clear and undeniable proof that we should all recite
not just in Kalma, Aazaan and Aqamah as compulsory part but also in (Tashahud)
Namaz as an integral part.

4. Surah-e-Shakir (verse #
25)

"And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation
and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in
the land; (as for) those, upon them shall be curse and they shall have the evil
(issue) of the abode."

"This Covenant was that of joining

testimony of Wilayat-e-Ali with touheed and Risalat and who ever breaks away
from they are the ones who are 'Jahanami' "

In the end I will conclude my article with a saying of Imam Ali Raza (AS).

He said:

"God Almighty has said that he will NOT ACCEPT anyone's acts of worship unless he stands witness
to Maula Ali's Wilayat with Prophet's (pbuh & hp) Risalat".
