Rebellion against GOD
-
Allah is the creator of whatever a person can think of. Allah is absolutely perfect. There is nothing a person can come up with that is better than the design of Allah.
Allah, in His infinite wisdom, created laws and subjected all the creatures to it. Allah then gave humankind Free-Will.
Human beings, by their free-will, have been enabled to manipulate all the creatures subject to the laws.
Human beings, by the free-will, have the ability to comply to the directives of Allah or to rebel ? the obedience as well as the rebellion are all subject to the laws of Allah.
Allah created Iblis as a Jinni and created Adam as a human being.
Iblis believed in Allah and believed in the Hereafter but due to pride, he disbelieve in the Message. Iblis became and remains a Kaafir.
Adam believed in Allah, the Hereafter and the Message and therefore died as a Muslim.
Belief in Allah, the Hereafter and the Message is to accept no lord but Allah. This is what constitutes a person?s personality.
Iblis vow is to enslave humankind which is also to rebel against the sole lordship of Allah. Human beings were warned against Iblis and his cohorts.
Iblis has two strategies in the enslavement of humankind.
The first strategy of Iblis is open rebellion. This is characterized by Secularism.
The second strategy is hypocrisy and it is to set up intermediaries between Allah and humankind. All human religions have been invented for this purpose. The common thing among all these human religions is the emphasis they place on an intermediary between humankind and their Lord.
Shiism/Sunnism is not different from Christianity, Judaism, Animism, Hinduism etc in the second strategy of Iblis.
The architects of Sunnism and Shiism, after failing to adulterate the holy Qur?an, finally invented al-Hadith and thereby established their lords beside Allah. Shiism and the Sunnism place al-Hadith above al-Qur?an and claim that the Qur?an can not be understood except through al-Hadith.
Shiism set up 11 people plus a fictitious figure as the Imams to pass through to al-Qur?an and Allah. Sunnism set up 4 Imams.
The claim is that humankind is so stupid that he has to go through those human lords to understand the clear and simple statements of Allah in the Qur?an.
Allah on the other hand says ?And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember then is there any that will receive admonition?? (Q5417)
And says ?Say ?Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is who hath revealed unto you (this) Book, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not of those who doubt.? (Q6114)
When Allah declared Muhammad as the seal of all prophets, He made it very clear that there would be no prophet after Muhammad not to talk of a messenger. The reason is also very clear ? there is a permanent al-Qur?an which is complete, preserved and available at all time. Yet Shiism went ahead and claimed that there would still be something that is even more than prophethood.
Ayatullah Muttahri writes
?The Sunni concept of an Imam does not go beyond the status of the head of the Muslim State. But according to the Shi?ah Imamat is a rank similar to Prophethood and in some respects, even higher than Prophethood by certain degrees. The high-ranking Prophets are those who were Imams also. Many Prophets were not Imams at all. Even the high-ranking Prophets attained the assignment of Imamat long after they had been Prophets.? Man and Universe P. 534 ?Ansariyan Publication ? first edition.Prophet Ibrahim (according to Shiism) attained Imamate towards the end of his life after going through series of test while many of their Imams attained it at early age (one of them at 4)). It must be understood that the Imamate mentioned with regards to Ibrahim simply means a Model for all mankind. Shiism has its own notion.
Muttahari continues
?According to the Shi?ah, Imamat is a phenomenon exactly like that of prophethood, and that too like the highest degree of it. As such we the Shi?ah believe in Imamat whereas the Sunnis do not.? Man and Universe P. 535 ?Ansariyan Publication ? first edition.In al-Islam faith remains the basis and the only determining factor of our relationship.
Since belief is not something personal and can not be inherited, the opportunity to become a full member of the Islamic Ummah is open to all who discover the truth of Islam and choose to live by it. In the Ummah, there is no discrimination regardless of the place of birth.
However, in Shia republic of Iran and Sunni republic of Pakistan, aforementioned qualities are negated by basing their relationship and internal cohesion on geographical boundaries, lineage and nationality, so much so that it is evident (in their constitution) that only Iranian and Pakistani can aspire and emerge presidents of their respective countries.
Where is the place for nationalism in al-Islam that pursues a universal mission?
Is it not too deceptive of Shiism and Sunnism to claim any linkage to al-Islam? What is the meaning of this dual loyalty (Shirk)?
Least of all to note that in Vatican, the centre of papal government, the question of presidency is not a prerogative of any nation.
May the curse of Allah be on all the enemies of Allah who have struggled and are struggling to prevent people from reaching Allah.
