Allah (swt), compromising the
faith of their sheepish followers
and lowering the status of
themselves in the eyes of Allah
(swt) by doing so, and they
remain in the labyrinth to find
their way back to Allah (swt).
Sayyed Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s)
says in “The Labyrinth or the
Path to Allah”,
"And the Labyrinth was a
punishment for them, for the
rebellion against Moses (a.s)
against the divine order of
entering the Holy land of
Palestine. That also was to
reform them and save them from

a result of Pharaoh and his
party's tyranny over them in
Egypt, to cleanse their souls and
bring them back to sound
instincts of monotheism and
goodness, the labyrinth was a

with a group of hypocrites and
burned the home of Sayyida
Fatima Zahra (a.s) and she is the
only daughter from the lineage of
the Prophet (s.a.w) and together
with Al Hasan (a.s) and Al
Hussain (a.s) and Ali (a.s) who
Allah (swt) obliged us to obey
and love." p14
Man is in great loss, they have
brought upon themselves only
the wrath of Allah (swt) except
those who turn back to Him
(swt) humbled abased. Those
who boycott the rights of the
Ahlul Bayt (a.s), who snubbed
