believed in the words of Allah
(swt) is the believer with Allah
(swt).
And the matter of the
confrontation is repeated among
the people once again - "And I
will judge between you
concerning that in which you
used to differ", but this time the
verses say that there is a divine
trial which will happen between
the hands of Allah (swt) on
Judgement Day to judge in that
which the people differed in from
the matter of Allah (swt) and
obeying His successors. And the
judgement will be among you in
that which you differed about
and this recalls that both
opponents step forward between
the hands of the court owner
and present their complaints, so
He Rules among them in that
which they disagreed about.
Let us take a pause at the matter
of this trial and its nature. We
recall the saying of Imam Ali bin
Abi Talib (as), “I am the first
who lies in the hands of the
Merciful for Judgement.”
What is this case in which Ali bin
Abi Talib (as) will stand for
judgement in the opening of the
court of truth, and what is this
case in which Ali (as), the first
man, will stand before the
creation? This case must
represent the weight of the
divine assignment. Verily it does,
as it is the case of the Supremacy
of Allah (swt). So the one who
will stand in defense of this case
is the first man, the successor
assigned by the master of
creation Muhammad (saw).
We return to the first verse in the
beginning of the narration which
categorized those whom Allah
(swt) Mentioned as Muslims
(Submitters) "the prophets who
submitted [to Allah]", and this
is an indication to the degree of
their faith and submission to
Allah (swt), as to those who work
by their ruling, they are those
who saved themselves from the
traps of satan.
"They will not stand except
as the stand of one whom
Satan has driven to madness
by his touch." The Qur'an
2:275
So before their return to the
command of Allah (swt), they
were described as mad men who
have been made mad by the
touch of satan and by their
return to Allah (swt) they find
tranquility. This is why the
Qur'an called them the ones who
calmed, "the prophets who
submitted [to Allah] judged
by it to those who calmed".
