Aga Khan
urges tolerance in the world
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Penny MacRae
NEW DELHI, April 19 (Reuters) - The Aga Khan, spiritual
head of the world's 15 million Shia Ismaili Muslims, said on Saturday
survival of an interdependent globe hinged on people showing tolerance of
the cultures, values and faiths of others.
Prince Karim Aga Khan, speaking to Reuters in an
interview in the aftermath of the Iraq war, said the need for better
cross-cultural understanding had never been greater at what he called a
"clearly a defining moment in world history".
Tolerance of other cultures, values and faiths was
"essential to the very survival of an interdependent world" and education
was a crucial tool in achieving this, said the Aga Khan, a wealthy
philanthropist and a key force in preserving Islamic cultural
history.
"Pluralism is
no longer simply an asset or a prerequisite for progress and development
-- it
is vital to our
existence," he said.
Islam is
for muslims *al--Haqq — the
Truth*
Wa Makarū Wa Makara Allāhu Wa Allāhu Khayru Al-Mākirīna (3:54).

the mastermind
the Prophet's Successors
The Muslim Sunrise, Summer 1995
by Ahmadiyya Muslim Community 1995-2001
Allah had promised to those among you who
believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in
the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them;
and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has
chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security
and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not
associate anything with Me. Then who so is ungrateful after that, they
will be the rebellious.
(Surah Al-Nur, Verse 56)
Commentary:
The present verse embodies a
promise that Muslims will be vouchsafed both spiritual and temporal
leadership. The promise is made to the whole Muslim nation but
the institution of Khilafat will take a palpable form in the person of
certain individuals who will be the Prophet's Successors
and the representatives of the whole nation. They will be, as it were,
Khilafat personified.
Briefly, the verse under comment
covers all these categories of Khalifas, viz., the Holy Prophet's
rightly-guided Khalifas, the Promised Messiah, his
Successors and the spiritual
Reformers or Mujaddids.
Their mission, as the above verse
says, is to protect the Law and to bring back "the erring flock into
the Master's fold."
contradiction
'the
Institution of Mujaddids is an Evil (Fitna)!!!
'crushed
this evil [fitna] for all time'
"No Need of a Mujaddid in the
Presence of Imamate"
Mirza Tahir Ahmad, The Fourth Imam’s Friday Sermon of 27th
August 1993:
"27 August: Our Leader, Hazrat
Imam of the Ahmadiyya Jama’at, may Allah help him with His Mighty
support, has said that God’s support and His testimony through His acts
have proved that there would be no
need for a Mujaddid (Reformer) in the presence of the Imamate.
"There is no need of a Mujaddid
in the presence of the Imamate." The deliverer of this sermon has
laid his entire emphasis and exhausted all his knowledge on one point --
that no Mujaddid (Reformer) can appear when an Imam or a Caliph is
present! Nay, he has gone so far
as to call the institution of Tajdid (appearance of reformer at the head
of every century) a mischief (fitna).
"Since
the imamat [i.e. Qadiani khilafat] is in existence, there
is no need for the coming of a mujaddid. The supporting testimony
of God has crushed this
evil [fitna] for all time.
The imamat shall not end till the Day of Judgment, so there is
no
need for a mujaddid till the Day of Judgment.

question
based on his [COMMENTARY] -- Zohurul Hoque
note#24:55 [pp. 606/7]- given above /below.
a. are the muslim believers
and doers of good [save the holy prophet's ahl al-baiyt
i.e., the rightful holy imams [pbuth]; in the current islamic
dispensation;
b. equal or comparable to
the israelite 'nabis-prophets' of the mosaic era, as claimed by the said
author -- zohurul hoque?
please note that in this particular instance, he
DID
NOT compare the holy prophet [sas] with his former israelite
counterpart namely, hzt. musa-moses [as], etc., by citing - Deuteronomy
18:15,18-19 (KJV) & HQ 73:15 i.e., he was 'a prophet like unto moses'
[pbuth].
on the contrary, he only EXALTED the muslim
'believers and doers of good' to the level of the israelite
nabis-prophets.
-
and that too, at the expense of
the holy prophet's
ahl al-baiyt, the rightful holy imams
[pbuth].
-
not only did he completely
EXCLUDE them
from islam;
-
but also he attacked them and
their religion directly ;
-
and ridiculed and derided them as often as
he could.
complete details to follow in my next
installment.
c. however, where in the
holy qur'an did allah equate the two i.e., the muslim believers and the
israelite nabis?
d. also where in the holy
qur'an did allah say that the muslim believers and doers of good, [save
the rightful holy imams [pbuth], will succeed the holy prophet
muhammad [sas] in the earth?
please note that i am not talking about one
nation succeeding the other, as is clearly stated in the holy scripture. i am
only referring to the 'muslims' -- as becoming 'successors of the holy
prophet.'

To understand this verse it is necessary to
know the meanings of some important words and phrases used in
it.
(1) Ummat does not always mean a
community or a nation. In verse 120 of al Nahl it
refers to a single individual-Verily Ibrahim was a people (ummat)
obedient to Allah.
qur'anic linkage
question
could this 'ummat-nation'
of the holy imams [pbuth] also be, 'Lillahi Al-'Asmā'u Al-Ĥusnaá --
allah's are the most beautiful names'?
well, they must be BECAUSE they are allah's
MANIFEST PROOFS or REVELATIONS, which allah had 'bidden to be joined unto
him,' -- [surah al-fatihah 1:5,6; AL-BAQARA 2:27; AR-RAD 13:19-25].
here's the qur'anic linkage for your further perusal, contemplation and
meditation.
Wa Lillahi Al-'Asmā'u Al-Ĥusnaá Fād`ūhu
Bihā Wa Dharū Al-Ladhīna Yulĥidūna Fī 'Asmā'ihi Sayujzawna Mā Kānū

of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what they
do.

And those who deny Our revelations -

[Pooya/Ali Commentary
7:181]
Those who have been thoroughly purified by
Allah (Ahzab: 33), the Ahl ul
Bayt of the Holy Prophet, are the people who guide mankind with
truth. Also refer to the commentary of al Baqarah:
143.
Aqa Mahdi Puya says:
Since the creation of man there had
been and should always be a person, present in this world, to guide others
with truth. In view of this fact the Holy Prophet has said: "Whosoever dies without recognising
the Imam (guide) of his age (in
order to follow his guidance) dies the death of an ignorant
pagan."
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
7:182]
The most important signs of
Allah have been referred to in the
preceding verse. The beliers of His
signs in verse 182 may enjoy a
temporary respite but Allah shall punish them in a way that they will not
know.

allow me to
explain.
let's begin with the qur'anic reference he had
given to substantiate his viewpoint.
zohurul hoque:
'allah has promised [three
things] to those among you who
believe and do good [2:25]'
the verse in question reads
2:25. And convey good news to those who
believe and do good deeds, that they shall have gardens in
which rivers flow; whenever they shall be given a portion of the fruit
thereof, they shall say: This is what was given to us before; and they shall
be given the like of it, and they shall have pure mates in
them, and in them, they shall abide. Shakir's Quran
Translation
2. 25:C44. This is the antithesis to
the last verse. If fire is the symbol of Punishment, the Garden is the
symbol of felicity. And what can be more delightful than a Garden where you
observe from a picturesque height a beautiful landscape round you, - rivers
flowing with crystal water, and fruit tree of which the choicest fruit is
before you. The fruit of goodness is goodness, similar, but choicer in every
degree of ascent. You think it is the same, but it is because of your past
experiences and associations of memory. Then there is companionship. If sex
is suggested, its physical associations are at once negatived by the
addition of the word Mutahharatun "pure and holy." The Arabic epithet is in the intensive form, and must be
translated by two adjectives denoting purity in the highest degree. The
Companionship is that of souls and applies to both sexes in the physical
world of men and women. And this felicity is not a mere passing phase but
will abide beyond the realms of Time. Yusuf Ali's
Commentary from QuranTrans
as can be seen from the above qur'anic text and
interpretation thereof, it had absolutely nothing do with what zohurul hoque
would have us believe. to this, he adds:
'there is no 'abrogation
in the entire
qur'an'
'such verses MUST BE interpreted
on the basis of the fundamental ones 39:23'
zohurul
hoque: note #3:6 --these [ayats]-- [or
verses] are the mother [i.e., foundation] of the scripture, and
others are allegorical [or ornamental, giving different
meanings, such verses
MUST BE interpreted on the basis of the fundamental ones
39:23]. ... they in fact follow the allegorical part
of it seeking [to create]
trouble and seeking to give it [imaginary] interpretations [in
the form of mythological stories , instead of
BASING ON THE FUNDAMENTAL verses of the qur'an: and when they fail to justify
their myths with other verses, they claim one or the other verse as
abrogated, whereas there is NO discrepancy NOR ANY ABROGATION in the entire qur'an 4:82].

none will argue about the above.
'ye,' the muslims vis-à-vis the
'disbelieving followers' of moses
2. 2:108. Or would ye
question your messenger as Moses was questioned
aforetime? He who chooseth disbelief instead of faith, verily he hath gone
astray from a plain road.
3. 33:69. O ye who
believe! Be not as
those who slandered Moses, but Allah proved his innocence of
that which they alleged, and he was well esteemed in Allah's
sight.
Pickthal's Quran Translation
in short, allah compared the ishmaelite
messenger with his israelite counterpart [pbuth]. he also compared
followers of the former with the followers of
moses.
in other words, the muslim 'believers and doers
of good' were not equated with the israelite prophets.
if this was the case then who else did allah
refer to in the verse 24:55?
well, here is some food for thought.

the age is also an ' UMMAT' in himself.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
2:143]
To understand this verse it is necessary to
know the meanings of some important words and phrases used in
it.
(1) Ummat does not always mean
a community or a nation. In verse 120 of al Nahl it refers to a single
individual-Verily Ibrahim was a people (ummat)
obedient to Allah.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
3:113]
In verse 104 ummat
means a-imma, because ummat is derived from amm
(meaning) to intend, to lead, to give an
example to others, or to command. In the sense of tending or intending it
becomes the "way" intended to or to move on (tariq), or imam,
the person intended to be followed, or mamun, the person who
intends to follow-to follow certain persons or principles. The word ummat
has been used in all these senses in the verses of the Quran.
In verses 104 and 113 of Ali Imran and verses 128
and 143 of al Baqarah the context shows that ummat
stands for an imam,
who exercises authority, not for
mamun.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
16:92]
Aqa Mahdi Puya
says:
The word
ummat has
been used here for imam as in al Baqarah: 143; Ali Imran: 104 and
110.
therefore, all references to the 'ummat--nation'
in the holy qur'an quoted above should and must apply ONLY to the holy imam
[sa] of the age and time -- as he is the foundation and axis of islam,
regardless.

muhammad [sas] and mankind [2:143; 4:41; 11:17,18 [see below];

C1513. "Guide": the Arabic word here is Imam, a leader, a
guide, one that directs to the true Path. Such a
direction is an instance of the Mercy and Goodness of Allah to man. The
Qur-An and the Prophet Muhammad are also called, each, a Guide and a Mercy,
and so are these epithets applicable to previous Books and
Prophets.
Yusuf Ali's Commentary from
QuranTrans
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 11:17]
There are several
traditions reported on the authority of Ahl ul Bayt, and also narrated by
well-known Muslim scholars like Jalal al Din al Suyuti in Durr al Manthur,
Muhammad bin Ahmad Qartabi in Tafsir Qartabi, Sayyid Hashim Bahrayni in
Tafsir Burhan, Abd Ali bin Jumah Hawyazi in Tafsir Nur al Thaqalayn, Abu Ali
al Tabrasi in Tafsir Majma al Bayan, Abu Ishaq al Thalabi in Tasir al Kabir,
and Abu Nu-aym in Hilyatul Awliya that shahid in this verse refers to Ali ibn abi Talib, just as
shahid in verse 43 of ar Rad also refers to Imam Ali.
In reply to a question
Imam Ali said that in "Is he then (like unto him) who has a clear proof from
his Lord, and a witness, from Him, follows him," the Holy Prophet is the
divine "bayyanah" and I am the
witness, guide and mercy.
Allah has declared Ali to be the
Imam
who alone
testifies the truth about Allah and His Prophet, and like the Holy Prophet
who is "mercy unto the world", he is also "mercy'!
because both of them are from one and the same divine light,
therefore, Ali is the only true successor of the
Holy Prophet whom all the Muslims should follow if they have
truly and sincerely surrendered themselves to the will of
Allah.
Aqa Mahdi Puya
says:
In this verse yatlu means to follow, and to translate it
"to recite" is incorrect as there is no mention of anything to be recited.
On the contrary a "person" has been mentioned, who is with clear evidence
from his Lord. Therefore "to recite" is meaningless. It is clearly said that
there is a person who has come with clear evidence from Allah and there is
another who immediately follows and bears witness to the truthfulness of the
first; and before him the book of Musa had borne witness.
All commentators agree that the
person with the clear evidence from Allah is the Holy
Prophet.
The person who follows him is
next to him, none come between these two.
The Holy Prophet is the first
person. His witness is the second person.
The same testimony was borne by
the book of Musa before.
Both are "Imam" and "Rahmah"
(also refer to Ahqaf: 12).
The witness is Ali ibn abi
Talib as has been mentioned by a large number of Muslim scholars mentioned
above.

22:78 And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His
right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any
hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is
yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this that
the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be
witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the
poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A

important: 'the faith of your father
Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time.'
WHO were they? well, here is
the complete qur'anic context. you be the judge.
the '2-two ahl al-baiyts - the holy
prophets' households' [pbuth] are an 'UMMAT-NATION' of the true
MUSLIMS
14:35. And when Abraham [IMAM 2:124] said:
My Lord! Make safe this territory, and preserve me and my
sons from serving idols. 14:37. Our Lord! Lo! I have settled
some of my
posterity in an uncultivable valley near unto Thy holy House,
our Lord! that they may establish proper worship;

elsewhere, the holy prophet [sas] BEGINS his mission at age

hast favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right acceptable
unto Thee. And be gracious unto me in the matter of my

this then, is the unmistakable qur'anic context, which
stemmed directly from:

we ask for help. |

it is therefore, clear from the above that only the rightful holy
imams from the holy prophet's ahl al-baiyt--household are the true
witnesses over mankind and that the holy prophet and messenger
of allah [pbuth], IS THE CHIEF WITNESS over them. see 4:41; 2:143; 16:89;
24:55. this is also the 'best ummat-nation' that allah had raised for
mankind.
- AFTER his DIVINE APPOINTMENT, hzt. IMAM
abraham [as] [2:124];
- prayed for the 'imamate' to be given to his offspring
[pbuth] - [2:124; 11:17; 21:73; 28:5,6; 32:22-25; 36:12;
46:12].
important: please note that although the holy prophet and
messenger of allah [sas] was ALSO sent to the ishmaelites
as a result of hzt. imam abraham's [as] ADDITIONAL prayer [2:129];
the former DID NOT represent both offices as did his
predecessor hzt. imam abraham [as] i.e., hold the holy institution of imamate
and the institution of NABUWWAH /RISALAT [2:124;
19:41];
at the same time. on the contrary, he held only the latter [33:40].
note that hzt. IMAM abraham [as] prayed on 2
separate occasions.
- the first [2:124],
was for the continuity of the holy imamate-spiritual
leadership in his offspring [pbuth] ;
IMAMATE
-
2:124. And when his Lord tried Ibrahim
with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you an Imam of men. Ibrahim
said: And of my offspring? My
covenant does not include the unjust, said He.
Shakir's Quran
Translation
- and the second was for the RASUL -
MESSENGER [sas] - [2:129], whose mission was four fold. in addition, he was the sun like lamp
who summoned people unto allah [33:45,46].
the holy RISALAT - messengership
2:129. "Our Lord! send amongst them
a Messenger of
their own, who shall rehearse

ii. and instruct
them in scripture
iii. and
wisdom,
iv. and sanctify them - Wa Yuzakkīhim

For
Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation
in other words, he clearly prayed for
2-two DIFFERENT institutions on 2 separate occasions. and for all intents and purposes, the holy prophet
muhammad [sas] - represented only one of them [33:40].

Ali ibn abi Talib is known as mazhar al
aja-ib and mazhar al ghara-ib because, as willed by Allah, he used to
appear in different forms to carry out divine plans under very special
circumstances. These two epithets are exclusively reserved for Ali. Even
today the true believers invoke Allah to send him for help
(???*navali).

Which The Holy Prophet Recited, As Commanded By Allah, At Khaybar* Refers To Ali As Mazhar Al Aja-Ib. Ali Ibn Abi
Talib Is Also Known As Mushkil Kusha,
The Remover Of Hardships.
In every age, to many persons he comes personally to remove
hardships. Through his name great spiritual achievements are attained. The
Holy Prophet, and after him, Ali are acknowledged as the most superior
possessors of the spiritual
powers.

and since when had this IMAM for mankind been in
allah's PRESENCE?
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
7:181]
Aqa Mahdi Puya says:
Since the creation of man there
had been and should always be a person, present in this world, to guide
others with truth. In view of this fact the Holy Prophet has said:
"Whosoever dies without
recognising the Imam (guide) of his age (in order to follow his guidance) dies the death of an
ignorant
pagan."
important
a majority of the muslims have been led to
believe that the holy prophet muhammad [sas] will intercede on their behalf on
the day of judgment. well, that maybe - but allah had set a 'different
divine' criteria for that purpose.
that is, allah had created a middle
nation--'Ummatan Wasaţāan' [pbuth]
between mankind and the holy prophet muhammad [sas]. in other
words, even the muslims have to go through this 'middle nation' [pbuth] before
they can reach the holy prophet [sas].
note: allah will
raise the latter against the former and NOT AGAINST THE MUSLIM UMMAH per se.,
as is supposed or claimed! in that sense, any 'direct intercession by him'
maybe out of question altogether, save what allah will.

prophet as Harun was to Musa [pbuth]'

C1468. Moses was for a little while to remain
in Egypt, so that his Message should have time to work, before the
Israelites were led out of Egypt. They were to
make their houses into places of prayer (Qibla), as Pharaoh would not
probably allow them to set up public places of prayer. and they were now to
be only sojourners in Egypt. These were the glad tidings (the Gospel) of
Islam, which was preached under Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and
completed under Muhammad.
Yusuf Ali's Commentary from
QuranTrans
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 3:61]
(i) At the time of going to Tabuk, the Holy
Prophet designated Ali, as his vicegerent, to take charge of the affairs in
Madina, saying that Ali was to him
as Harun was to Musa.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 10:35]
( 15) The two Shaykhs
(Bukhari and Muslim) relate on the authority of Sad bin Abi Waqqas that the
Holy Prophet left Ali bin Abi Talib behind him as his vicegerent during the
expedition to Tabuk, and Ali said: "O Prophet of Allah, do you leave me
behind, among the women and children?" He replied: "Are you not content to be to
me in the relation of Harun to Musa save that there shall be no
prophet after me?"

IN ISLAM
the book - guide ONE
32:23.
And certainly We gave the Book to
Musa, so be not in doubt concerning the receiving of it, and
We made
it a guide for the children of
Israel.
the imams -- guide
TWO
32:24.
And We made of them Imams to guide by Our
command when they were patient, and they were
certain of Our communications. [our
revelations--aayaatinaa]
21:73.
And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We
revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the
giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve;
Shakir's Quran
Translation
please note that allah had sent both the book and the holy imamate, SIMULTANEOUSLY for guidance of
mankind prior to the holy prophet's [sas] prophetic mission. and that
there is no change in allah's ways or laws, as per the scripture itself.
see 17:77; 6:115; 33:62; 48:23.
that said, did allah make any provision for the
above in the current islamic dispensation itself? please apply all of the above verses to
islam as we know it today.
and also add to it the following.
33:62. That was the way of Allah
in
the case of those who passed away of old; thou wilt not find for the
way of Allah aught of power to change.
The similitude
of His light
[allah reveals the 5-five noors
--lights]
24:34. And verily We have sent down for
you revelations that make plain, and the example of those who passed
away before you. An admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
24:35. Allah is the Light[1] of
the heavens and the earth. The similitude
of His light[2] is as ..... Light[3] upon light[4]. Allah guideth unto His light[5] whom He will. And Allah speaketh to
mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all
things.

its meaning
The Holy Qur'an, Text,
Translation and Commentary, by S. V. Mir Ahmed
Ali,
'It is reported that the objects
presented to the angels were Five Lights with wonderful radiance. The angels asked the Lord as to what
those wonderful Lights were and what were their names. God in reply declared
to the angels pointing to a Light saying
i. "This
is Muhammad i.e., the most
praised worthy, the name drawn from My name Mahmood i.e., the Praised one
--
ii. This is Ali, the High, the name
drawn from my being the Ali-ul-Ala the Highest of the
High.
iii. This is Fatema, the Original, the
name drawn from My being the Fatirus- Samawate-wal ard i.e., the Creator,
the Originator of the heavens and the
earth;
iv. This is Hassan, the Bountiful, the
Virtuous, the name drawn from My being the Benefactor, the All
Good,
v. and this is Hussain, the Good the name
drawn from My being the Good in Origin."
The declaration of the Lord to the
angels continued "O Angels! It is in love of these Five have I created the
Universe, meaning with the object of manifesting through these Five the
various aspects of the divine glory in everything of the created world has
come to stay and have been endowed in the seed of Adam." [Durr-Manthur] - [pp.
92].

very important: the final outcome of the holy
prophet's [sas] 23 year divine mission hinged on this declaration alone and nothing else
that had gone before it over that length of time.

Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace? But
indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children
the Book and
the wisdom, and
We have
given them a grand kingdom.
Shakir's Quran
Translation
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 4:54]
It was the "house of Ibrahim" which was promised
leadership in religion and greatness as a nation. Please refer to the
commentary of al-Baqarah: 124 to know how the divine kingdom was transferred
to the descendants of Ismail, the son of Ibrahim,-the Holy Prophet and his
Ahl ul Bayt, whom Allah has given the book, the wisdom and a great
kingdom.
hadith: ' the two weighty
things'
[Pooya/Ali Commentary
5:67]
Shibli Nu-mani in Siratun Nabi
(completed by Sayyid Sulayman Nadvi) writes:
A small lake is called ghadir
in Arabic, so this place is known as Ghadir Khum. There, the Holy Prophet
addressed his companions and said:
Glory be to Allah. I am a
human being. I may be recalled shortly and I must comply. I leave behind,
among you, the two weighty things. One
of them is the book of Allah wherein there is guidance and light;
hold fast
to the book. The other thing is my Ahl ul Bayt. I call your attention to Allah in the matter of my Ahl ul
Bayt."

in addition to what we have seen thus far,
this is an unequivocal depiction of 'hereditary guidance in
islam.' see also 3:33,34; 37:103-114; 43:26-28.
in other words, as long as the muslims recite
surah
al-fatihah in their daily salat, they will need to follow the holy imam's [sa]
guidance at the same time.

[Pooya/Ali Commentary
5:67]
Shibli Nu-mani in Siratun Nabi
(completed by Sayyid Sulayman Nadvi) writes:
While returning from Makka to
Madina, after the last hajj, along with his companions, the Holy Prophet
broke the journey at a lake, 3 miles away from Juhfa. A small lake is called
ghadir in Arabic, so this place is known as Ghadir Khum. There, the Holy
Prophet addressed his companions and said:
Glory be to Allah. I am a
human being. I may be recalled shortly and I must comply. I leave behind,
among you, the two weighty things. One of them is the book of Allah wherein
there is guidance and light; hold fast to the book. The other thing is
my Ahl ul Bayt. I call your attention to
Allah in the matter of my Ahl ul Bayt."
He repeated the last sentence
thrice. This tradition is mentioned in Sahih Muslim. Nisa-i, Ahmad ibn
Hanbal, Tirmidhi, Tibrani, Tabari, and Hakim have mentioned the following
words also:
"Man kuntu mawlahu fa Aliyyun
mawlahu
Allahumma wali man walahu wa adi man
adahu"
(The English version of
Shibli's Urdu translation of the above is given below):
"Of whomsoever I am the beloved
Ali is his beloved. O Allah love him who loves Ali and be hostile to him who
shows hostility to Ali."
(Siratun Nabi p. 165,
166; printed in 1352 Hijra at Mu-arif press, Azam Gad). Shah Abdul Haq
Muhaddith Dehalvi has mentioned this tradition in Madarijun Nabuwwah:
"While addressing his companions at Ghadir Khum,
the Holy Prophet said: 'Do you not know
that I am nearer to the faithful than they are
themselves?"
The Quran also says that
the prophet is nearer to the faithful than they are themselves (Ahzab
6).
'Yes, you are,' replied
all of them. According to another tradition the Holy Prophet continued: 'I
have been recalled and I must comply. I am leaving behind, among you, two
things, each of which is better than the other, the Quran and the Ahl
ul Bayt. Be careful how you deal with them
and discharge your obligation unto each of them. They shall never be
separated from each other till they reach me at Kawthar. Allah is my
Mawla and I am the mawla of all the faithful. (Then
he took the hand of Ali in his hand and said:) O my Allah! of whomsoever I
am mawla Ali is his mawla. O my Allah! Love him who loves Ali and be hostile to him who
is hostile to Ali. O my Allah! Help him who helps Ali and forsake him who
forsakes Ali; and turn truth to whichever side Ali
turns.
It is related that, after this
address, Umar came to Ali and said: 'Greetings be to you O son of Abu Talib!
Now you are the mawla of all the believing men and believing
women.'
zohurul hoque
corruption
playing mind games with
'allah's revelations' and the 'holy
qur'an'
in view of the fact that zohurul
hoque had printed his verbose notes in very tiny-small prints -
scattered all over like Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces, i guess it would be wise
to piece together the same in order to decipher his hidden agenda and
the overall picture.
please read and review the following in 'this
new light' because insha'allaah that will also demonstrate the true nature and
character as well, the ultimate objective of the individual we are dealing
with presently.
if and when possible, read between the lines
-- because that is precisely wherein lies his hidden and mystifying
claim to the multifaceted institution of islam. he is rarely candid about it
and more importantly, hardly ever reveals his full and complete thought on a
given subject in any one place.
and although he may sound like a very sleek
and knowledgeable professor, let not his deific double-talk and double
standard fool you for a sec. unfortunately, like most western and westernized
scholars, he likes to play mind games with allah's revelations and the holy
qur'an.
PERSONAL ISLAM
[emphasis added, navali]
please review the above solemnly and ask
yourself, did allah leave out anything at all from the 'religion of islam'
before the holy prophet's [sas] 23-year old mission culminated and also came
to a close with the above proclamation?
zohurul hoque: note#5:3 and have accepted for
you ISLAM .. [] .. as the religion [so no new creed will be revealed
hence forth, and no new nabi is
needed after muhammad, who is thus the
last nabi,
33:40]. therefore
[as the qur'an contains guidance on all
matters
of human
requirements, both spiritual and physical, ...] [pp.
175]
zohurul hoque: note#2:253
['yet muhammad
OCCUPIES the highest position in the cadre of rasuls as he is given
the complete and perfect
religion, 5:3'] - [pp. 72]. see full
text below.
let him alone, no human being on the face of
this earth would ever use this kind of favorable language if islam was
still wanting somehow.
despite the above unequivocal assertion and
conviction, WHY did it still become necessary for this faithful muslim to take
upon himself the task of CORRUPTING the holy qur'an from the inside
out?
the qadiani claim
The Simile Of "The New
Moon" Used For The Holy
Prophet(SAW) And That Of "The Full
Moon" Used For Mirza
......
rather, zohurul hoque is more like paul of
tarsus!
the
qadiani & zohurul hoque
WERE both east indian claimants -
THEIR common link -
identical translations & interpretations of verses 2:61; 3:56;
4:157; 19:22-26; 23:50 - [24:55]
-
both also proclaimed that
'jesus had
migrated/escaped to kashmir'
after his so-called
cruci_FICTion
Mirza Tahir Ahmad Sahib
BELIES,
BELITTLES & DISCREDITS
the founder's claim -- says
he, 'the Institution of Mujaddids is an Evil
(Fitna)!!!
''Eventually, like it
always does, the truth will emerge. And when it does, this house of
cards, built on deceit, will
fall,''
