Rejection
of the Usuli Sect in light of the Quran and Ahadees
Those
who do not give orders in accordance with what Allah sent , are non-believers.
(kafir)
oppressors (zalim), disobedient (na farman).
The
foundation and beliefs of the usuli sect are
-
Ijtehaad
(juristic expertise)
-
Rai
(opinion)
-
Qiyas
(guess work)
-
Istenmbaat
(deducing)
-
Aql
(intellect)
-
Ijmah
(consensus)
-
Fallible
can be an Ulil-Amr. (Supreme Authority), Imam and Naiib-e-Imam
(Deputy)
-
Fallible
can be a Hakim-e-Sharaah (Leader in Religion) Hujjat-ul-Islam (Proof of Islam) their obedience and their
imitation/ following them (Taqleed) is legal.
Use of all the above
things, for a fallible, is prohibited in Islam.
Like, Sunni's foundation
and beliefs are based on Quran,
Sunnat, Qiyas and Ijmah.
If any intelligent and
reasonable person wants to understand then for him, tradition of Saqlain
is enough, no more conclusive proofs are required. Fallible not being
an authority on intellect, cannot add or subtract anything in the sayings
of the infallible. Consider this, in the light of
which tradition the addition of aql
and ijmah has been done?
The real reason for aql
being awarded to mankind from Allah is, only to, understand Shariat
(laws) and to practice on it , not to draft a new one.
Where does our aql
stand, when Prophet Musa (AS) being himself so intelligent and wise
could not deduce the wisdom and actions of Hazrat Qizr (AS). Prophet
Mohammed (SW), by the order of the Allah, amongst us, left behind , The
pride of Anmbiya and Mursaleen, Infallible Imams (AS). Such that, with reference
to this incident between Hzt.Musa & Hzt.Khizr, Imam Jaffer
Sadiq (AS) said “if
I was between Musa and Qizr I would have made it clear that I was more
learned then them and would have given information of those things whose
knowledge was not given to them. Musa and Qizr were given knowledge about
the past and not of the future and till the day of Judgment. And all this
Knowledge has been passed on to us from Prophet Muhammad
(SW).
Here is one more saying
of an infallible, showing the use of aql (intellect), for the usooli sect, who consider their aql
as Proof (Hujjat).
Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) said “Aql
is that only, through which one worships Allah and gets heaven”.
When Allah rejected ijmah
(consensus)
of the angels then what will happen to the ijmah
of the usulis?
And (Aye
Rasool) when thy Lord said unto all the angels: Lo! I am about to
appoint a
successor on
the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one
who will do harm therein and will shed
blood, while
we, hymn Thy praise
and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not
[2:30]
Tafseer
It is there in the traditions that before the creation of Adam (AS) Allah
had civilized, creatures of fire on earth in which iblis was also
included, rather he was their ruler.
These creatures were insolent, disobeyed, shed blood of each other. Then Allah
directed angels to go and destroy them ,arrest iblis and bring him back.
Being in the proximity of the angles, iblis
became so obedient and devout that some angels thought him to be an
angel. And when Allah made obvious his wish to place his proof on earth,
then the angels comparing it with the disobedience of the previous
creations, did consensus and replied to the declaration of Allah that,
will you appoint on earth those who will create disturbance and shed blood
and made it apparent that as they
( angels) did worship and praise of
Allah and were sanctimonious ,they had the right to be appointed. But
Allah the almighty rejected the consensus of these angels, the creatures
of light (Noor) by saying you do not have the knowledge of the future.
Except
the infallible Imams(as), whoever, calls themselves Ulil-Amr (Supreme
Authority) or deduce the laws in the religion (Istenmbath) are ignorant and
will go astray. They are calumniating Allah.
The
right to deduce laws belongs only to Infallibles
And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto
them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the Prophet
and to such of them possessing authority, those among them who are able to
go deep into the matter would have understood it [4:83]
Tafseer
of
In the book Aljawmeh Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) has said “one
who deduces laws’’, refers
to, the 14 infallibles (AS).
In
‘Tafseer-e-Ayaashi’ Imam Raza (AS) says:-This
verse refers to progeny of Prophet Mohammed (SW), only they can deduce
laws from the Holy Quran, they know what is halal and what is haram and
only they are Allah’s
Hujjat
(proof) on creatures of Allah”.
In
the book Akmaluddin, Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) says: - Whoever places, Wilayate Allah and those who deduce laws with divine
knowledge, on any other place then Qanhaye Anmbiya (Anmbiya's position), then
that person has disobeyed the order of Allah and accepted ignorant
people as Ulil-Amr (Supreme Authority), who themselves are misguided, made
them their guide and thought that these people can deduce laws with the
help of divine knowledge….then they calumniated Allah. And got distanced
from order of Allah and obeisance of Allah. And where Allah has placed his
Fazl (Grace) they did not keep it there, this resulted in them leading
into error and leading their followers into error too. Thus, on Judgment
Day Allah will not entertain any argument from them.
In
the light of this verse from Quran, consider thoughtfully how the
usuli’s Waliye-Amre-muslimeen and Hujjat-ul-Islam became, as such?
Only
14 Masoomeen (AS) are Ulil Amr and Hujjat.
O
ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those amongst you
who are in authority.
Tafseer:
-In the book Ayaashi it is narrated by Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS)
“We have been specifically
referred in this verse and all the momeneen have been ordered to obey us
till the Day of Judgment’’.
In
Kaafi, Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) narrates : - someone asked Imam ,who the
successors (Ausiya) are whose obedience is our duty? Imam replied “those
are they in whose favor Allah has revealed this verse :-
“O
ye who believe! Obey Allah, obey his Prophet and those amongst you who are
in authority …” and Allah also
said this about them
No
one else except Allah, is your Master and his Prophet, and those who have
Imaan, read prayers (Namaaz), and give Zakaat (Alms) while in the state of
bowing down (rukooh).
In
Kaafi, in the commentary of the
above verse Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) said “The
meaning of Waliekum is that in all your matters related to your life or
money, more than anybody else the claim is of Allah, and His Prophet (SA)
and those who are believers (Imaan laye) that is Ali (AS) and all those
from among his descendants who will be Imams, till the Day of Judgment”.
In
this verse the word allazina amanu (who
are believers) is very common that’s why Allah particularly stated
Note: Imam (AS) made it
very clear for all the people, till the Judgment Day, that Ulil Amr can
only be those who while bowing down gives Zakaat (Alms). Because by using
the word ‘’allazina amanu’’
any body can say it is meant for us, as we are also the believers.
For further establishing
proof we are presenting here another commentary of the above verse in
which it has been described name by name about who Ulil-Amr are.
In
Maani ul Akhbaar, through Saleem bin Qais Halali it is narrated that a man
asked Hazrat Ali (AS) about what is the least thing which one should know
to remain safe from leading into error, Imam replied “Not
knowing whose obedience is ordered by the Allah and whose authority
(wilayat) has been legalized, who is the proof of him on his earth and
appointed whom as the witness over his creatures’ good and bad deeds”,
the man further asked O Ameerul Momineen who are they? Imam replied “they are those whom Allah has related with himself and with His
Prophet (SA) and said '' Ya Ayyaohal lazeena.........minkum'', : ''O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and
those of you who are in authority…”. Then the man kissed the
forehead of the Imam and said you have shown me the righteous path,
removed all my concerns and dispelled all the doubts in my mind.
In
t In the book Al Ikmaal it is narrated
by Jaber bin Abdullah Ansari that when this verse was revealed to the Holy
Prophet (SW) I enquired O Rasool Allah (SW) I have recognized Allah and
his Rasool (SA) but who are these Ulil-Amr? Whose obedience, Allah has
ordered, alongside your obedience. Rasool (SW) replied “
O Jaber they are my successors (Khalifa) and Imams of all the Muslims, the
first will be Ali ibne abi Talib (AS) then Hassan (AS) then Hussain (AS)
then Ali ibne Hussain (AS) then Mohammed ibne Ali (AS) who is referred as
Baqir in torah and O Jaber you will very soon meet them, thus when you
meet them, convey my salaam unto them. After them, Jaffer ibne Mohammed
(AS) then Musa ibne Jaffer (AS) then Ali ibne Musa (AS) then Mohammed ibne
Ali (AS) then Ali ibne Mohammed (AS) then Hassan ibne Ali (AS) and then,
sharing my name, from my family, Allah’s proof in this world amongst
Allah’s people, this Allah’s ibne Hassan (AS) son of Hassan (as)],
will be the one, on whose hands Allah will conquer this world from East to
west. And he is the one, who will remain invisible from his shias and his
friends till such time that during his occultation no one except the
person whose heart has been thoroughly tested by Allah will accept his
Imamat.
Jaber says he enquired O Rasool Allah (SW) will his shias be benefited
by him even during his occultation? Rasool (SW) replied “Yes
I swear by the one who has appointed me as the Prophet. They will get
enlightened through his light (Noor) and will be benefited by his Wilayat
in the same way as mankind gets benefited from the sun even while the
clouds have hid it. O Jabber he is from Allah’s Israar Maknuna (Hidden
one) and Uloome Maqzoona (treasure). Thus you also keep this concealed
except from those who are eligible for it”.
Those
who obey likewise person will be in loss.
If
ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost.
Issuance
of Fatwa based on opinion (Rai) and Judging without knowledge is forbidden
For
he commands you what is evil and shameful, and that ye should say of Allah
that of which ye have no knowledge.
Tafseer: - In Kaafi
it is narrated by Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) that when he was asked about
the claim (Haq) of Allah on His servants. Imam replied, “Talk
only about the things which you know and be silent about things which you
don’t have knowledge of”.
Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS)
said “Be safe from two
characteristics, since whoever was ruined, was because of these two .One
is avoid giving a fatwa using own opinion (rai) and other is do not give
judgment when you don’t have factual knowledge”.
Leaving
those Imams whom Allah appointed as Imams, others were made Imams.
Such
Imams are tyrants and their followers are oppressors
And
there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship
besides Allah, whom they love as they love Allah, and those who believe
are stronger in love for Allah.
Tafseer:
-
In Kaafi and Ayaashi it is narrated by
Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS): Wallahe (I swear by Allah) in this Ayat ‘those
who love’ is referred to friends of so and so (persons) who leaving the
Imam, appointed by Allah for all his people, made them their Imam.
Therefore
Allah Said
,
- And O, that those who are
oppressors should have seen that, which they will know at the time of
punishment, that the power is wholly Allah's and that Allah is severe in
punishment!
It is further stated in tafseer that Wallahe these are the Imams who
themselves are tyrants and their followers, oppressors, and the meaning of
is Progeny of Mohammed (SW).
Whoever
calls themselves Imam except the true Imam is Satan (Shaitan)
It is the fact
that they have left Allah and has befriended shaitan.
Tafseer: -
In Alal Sharaai Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) says: -“This verse is about those people who have left true Imams and made
others as their Imams”.
Angels
Curse them, who issue fatwa without knowledge
Giving
judgment using own opinion and without knowledge, in Allah’s religion is
like nullifying the religion, which is cause for destruction.
See Tafseer of Sura-e-Al
eraaf, Ayat 33: -
In
Kaafi and Alkhisaal Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) says: - “Be
safe from two characteristics, since whoever was ruined, was because of
these two .One is, avoid giving fatwa using own opinion (rai) and other is
do not give judgment when you don’t have factual knowledge”.
It
is also narrated in Al Tauheed and Al Kaafi that Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS)
said, “Someone asked Rasool Allah
(SW) what is Allah’s Hujjat on His people? He replied, “ Talk only
what you know and remain silent if you do not know”.
In’
Man La Yahzarahul Fakih’ Ameerul Momineen (AS)’s, that will is
written, which Moula (AS) had made to his son Mohammed Hanafia, this is
part of that will-- “ O Son, do
not speak all that you do not know rather do not say all of the things
that you know”.
In
Al-ayoun it is narrated to Hazrat Ameerul Momineen (AS) that Rasool Allah
(SW) said ‘’the person who issues Fatwa, for people, without being
knowledgeable, on him, all the angels on Earth and Above (aasmanoun ke)
send lanath (curse).
Note:
- In Usooli Sect fatwas given are based on opinion (rai) only. This is the
reason that after mujtahid dies; dead mujtahid’s taqleed is not done
because giver of opinions is no more. Allah’s religion is founded on
Quran and Ahlebait (AS) and usooli sect have included false (baatil)
religion’s Qayas (guesswork) and Ijma (consensus) in Allah’s religion.
Save
yourself from deceptive Imams
Infidel
and despicable Imams and their followers will wrong and oppress the true
Imams. Usulis say ‘Alian waliAllah’ is not an integral part of Azaan
…what more oppression and calumniation can be besides this? Avoid and
beware of Usuli Sect.
One
day We shall call all the groups with their (respective) Imams.
Tafseer:
- Ref: Al Majalis
When
Imam Hussain (AS) was asked about this Ayat, he said, One Imam guided onto
the righteous path and some people
accepted. And one Imam lead into error, and some people accepted.
Former went to Jannat (heaven) and latter to Jahannum (Hell). This is
proved by this saying of Allah
(That day, one group will be in heaven and one will be
in burning fire).
In
Kaafi and Ay-aashi, Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) narrates when this Ayat
descended, the faithful asked, “O
Rasool Allah (SW) are you not the Imam for all the people?” Rasool
(SW) replied, “I am Allah’s
Rasool for all the people, but in near future, after me, from my progeny,
Imams shall be appointed for all the people, Who will prove their claim on
them, but they (true Imams) will be disbelieved and the infidel and
despicable imams along with their followers will oppress the true Imams,
thus whoever keeps friendship with the true Imams and obey and
confirm/accept (tasdeeq karna) them will be mine and with me and very soon
he will come to me. And listen carefully whoever oppresses the true Imams
and calumniate them is not from me and will not be with me, he and I will
have no relationship”.
It is proved by this Ayat
that Usoolis are not Shias, as in their Sect they have
Imams, Naiib-e-Imams. And they will curse each other.
See
Tafseer of Sura-e-Ankaboot, Ayat 25
Tafseer:
-
In
Kaafi Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) narrates: -, “except
our shias, all the other sects who made for themselves, Imams in this
world on the Day
of Judgment shall come in such a way that their Imams would be cursing
their followers and the followers will be cursing their Imams”.
As our Fathers and Fore fathers followed
them we will also do their taqleed…. making such an excuse is
prohibited.
Nay!
They say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we
do guide ourselves by their footsteps."
[43:22]
Tafseer:
-
In
Safi, the commentary of this verse is: - As they did not possess any
intellectual or copied/written proof therefore they found, their
illiterate (jahil) father’s and forefather’s taqleed, as an excuse.
The
first one to do guess work was Shaitan-
Doing guesswork in religious matters is prohibited
(Sura-e-Al Eraaf Ayat12)
(Allah)
said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded
thee?" (Iblis) said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me
from fire, and him from clay."[7:12]
Tafseer:
-
In
the books Kaafi, Ehtejaaj and Alal Sharaaii, it is narrated from Imam
Jaffer Sadiq (AS) that when Abu Hanifa came to see him, Imam asked “O
Abu Hanifa I came to know that you do guesswork in the matters of
religion”, he replied in affirmative then the Imam said “Do
not do guess work because the first one to do the guess work was iblis
when he said’
he guessed between fire and clay and if he have known the
divinity of Adam over the burning of fire, then he would have known its
greatness and cleanliness over the other”.
Apart
from the True Imams (AS) whoever claims to be Imam,
his face will get blackened
And
on the day of resurrection you shall see those who lied against Allah;
their faces shall be blackened
[39:60]
Tafseer:
-
In the book Qummi, commentating on this verse Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS)
said, “This will be the condition
of such person who claimed to be Imam even though he was not. On this
somebody asked, even if he is descendants of Hazrat Ali (AS) and Hazrat
Fatima (SA)”?
