State of the occupier and idols, and to
consolidate their sovereignty by paying a
tribute to the Roman Caesar. Hence, they
became idol worshipers and not
monotheists worshiping Allah, although
they pretended they were. Even more,
they also followed their scholars when the
latter's violated the law of the prophets
and guardians, thus worshiping errant
scholars instead of Allah, the Glorified and
Exalted. Indeed, errant scholars place their
opinions as a counterpart to the
legislation of Allah, and call upon people
to follow them, making them believe that
by obeying them they would be obeying
Allah, whereas in this case, they would be
obeying Satan, may Allah curse and abase
him.
Therefore, Isa (AS) set off teaching and
showing people the divine truths, calling
upon them, once to devote themselves to
worshiping Allah the Almighty, and once to
disbelieve and fight idols, and destroy the
economic, military, and media pillars of
their State.
Isa (AS) called upon people to revolt
against the scholars of the Children of
Israel who gave themselves the authority
to legislate as counterparts to Allah the
Almighty, and called people to obey them
and follow their footsteps. Thus, they
mislead people as they were errant
themselves, for they made themselves
lords to be worshiped in the stead of
Allah Almighty.
3. Justice and Mercy
If devoid of justice and mercy life
becomes obscure, with only tyranny,
injustice, harshness, pain, and idols without
mercy and justice. It is injustice, severity
and harshness that keep Pharaoh,
Nimrod, Caesar and their likes in power
and allow them to take the reins of the
satanic leadership so they may lead their
supporters and those who follow in their
footsteps, deep into the abyss of Hell.
Whoever expects a tyrant to show some
justice and mercy, is no different than he
who wishes to smell a beautiful scent
from a carcass.
The powerful weapon within the reach of
the prophets (AS) was justice and mercy.
Thus, Isa (AS) set about promulgating and
calling for justice and mercy within the
society; the justice that the scholars of the
Children of Israel dismissed when they
kept alms to themselves and passed
legislation's according to their silly whims
and allegations; and the mercy that people
never knew while worshiping of the idols.
The mercy of Isa (AS) encompassed even
tax collectors who worked directly for
Caesar; Isa (AS) tried to save and deliver
them from the dark and obscure end
which would await them if they were to
follow in Caesar’s footsteps.
10 Points on the Supremacy of the Choice of Allah (swt)
by Mufeed
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem
1. Complete knowledge leads to the
right to choose:
The knowledge of God (swt) is
complete. The knowledge of people is
incomplete.
[16.74] Therefore do not give likenesses
to Allah; surely Allah knows and you do
not know.
Thus, our choice is never equal to the
choice of the complete Perfection that
is God.
2. If one dislikes the choice of God,
then bring someone better than the
one He has chosen, It is not Possible:
God is the author of the Quran, the
most complete Book. If a person
disputes the contents of the Quran he
or she is quite sensibly asked to “bring a
Quran better than this one.” Failing that
(obviously) forces the disputer to
accept the supremacy of God’s choice
of Book. Similarly, failure to bring forth a
man equal to or better than Imam e
Zamana (ajf) proves that there is no
substitute for him as a leader, and the
choice of God reigns supreme as
opposed to the choice of the people.
3. Only the One who Creates is
allowed to Choose:
The Furqan that is the Quran has
stated point blank:
blame lies on him who grasps the rights
which do not belong to him.”
The Quran clearly says that choice is
the prerogative of He who creates. To
say that choosing one’s leader is a task
for the people is equal to saying
creation is also a function of the
people. That is tantamount to Shirk.
The same applies for Imam e Zamana
(ajf), who only went into Ghaibat
(Occultation) to prevent the Enemies
of God from slaying him. God planned
for him to go into Occultation and to
emerge when conditions are right. But
today we are still immersed in the
Saqifa that rejected his great
grandfather, Imam A H
K
