STRAIGHTPATH July 26, 2011 8 The Hujjatullah Formula How To Recognize Hujjatullah cont. These verses stress on the prostration to Allah AlMighty’ successor/hojjah and the necessity of his obedience. the Sovereignty is in his hands the almighty, he gives sovereignty onto whom he wills and withdraws sovereignty from whom He wills. Furthermore its is not up to the people to choose a governor or a governorship, which makes choosing a governor or a governorship, shirk. Also from the narrations from saed bin abd allah alkomy in a long narration (hadith), that he asked Imam al Mahdi (a.s) when he was young during the time of his father Imam Hasan Askari (a.s), he asked: tell me my master about the reason that will prevent the people from choosing their successor. He (a.s) replied: peacemaker or a corrupter? He said peacemaker. So (a.s) replied: is it possible that they choose a corrupter, without actually knowing what is in that persons mind of peacemaking or corruption? He replied: yes. He (a.s) said: it’s for the same reason that your mind just trusted. Tell me about the Prophets that Allah chose them and sent the books upon them, and supported them with revelation and Infallibility, as they are the most knowledgeable and are the very well known. Like Moses and Jesus (PBUT), is it possible that with their knowledge that they would chose a hypocrite while thinking that he is a believer? So I replied: no. He (A.S) said: there you have Moses (kalimullah), and even though he had a complete sound mind that Allah had gifted him with, also the gift of knowledge and the revelation sent down upon him, he chose from his people only 70 men to meet his God, Moses (a.s) trusted their faith and loyalty, and it happened to be that the people he chose were the hypocrites. Allah (SWT) said "and Moses chose of his people seventy men for our appointed tryst and, when the trembling came on them, he said: My Lord! If Thou hadst willed Thou hadst destroyed them long before, and me with them. Wilt thou destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did? It is but Thy trial (of us). Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt: Thou art our Protecting Friend, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us, Thou, the Best of all who show forgiveness." Al-A’raf/155. So now that we found out that even the chosen Prophets of God have also made the wrong decision about choosing the corruptor rather than the peacemaker, while they were thinking that they chose the right people that we don’t have the right to select or elect anybody as our governor , because only Allah knows what the hearts hide and is able to chose the right person for the right position" Ithbat Al -hodat: chapter:1 p:115-116. In conclusion I say that Ahmad Al-Hassan (a.s) has come to you with the Divine Will, the knowledge and the call to the governorship of Allah. He has also come with the rejection of the governorship of people or as many calls it “democracy”. And who ever goes over his books that have been published by Ansar Al Imam Al Mahdi will find a lot of details about this regard. So we recommend that those new to this Call read his works and how he explains the faults within democratically elected governments and take heed of the warnings, Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris.
