of Sunnat, Bidaat, Jamaat and Furfat?” The Imam (a.s) replied. “Sunnat is
what the Prophet (a.s) of Islam has enunciated and put into practice.
Jama-at are the people living with whom the Prophet (a.s) has exhorted,
these are the Righteous (Ahl e Haq). However small in numbers these Ahl
e Haq might be. Furfat are the group of persons the Prophet (a.s) has
warned his people not to follow. These persons are the misguided group!
They might be in larger numbers!
Kulaini narrates from Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s), “Allah has not
missed anything that is necessary for His people. He communicated all
of it to the Prophet (a.s) and Revealed in the Holy Quran. He fixed the
measure for everything and Has Prescribed punishment for exceeding
the limits.”
Authentic sources narrate from Imam Zain al Abedeen (a.s), “The best
act in the consideration of Allah, however small, is that which is in accord with the sunnat of the Prophet of Islam (a.s).”
It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (a.s) that the Prophet (a.s) said, “Saying
something without acting on it is futile. Belief and action are both futile if
the intent is not right. And all the three are of no use if they are not in accordance with the precept and the sunna of the Prophet (a.s).”
It is said that when Satan refused to prostrate to Hazrat Adam (a.s)
and Allah’s curse was inflicted on him, he said, “O Allah! Excuse me
from prostrating to Adam (a.s)! I shall offer prostrations to an extent that
any angel or prophet (a.s) would never do!” Allah observed, “We don’t
need your supplications! Obeying My Orders in itself is supplication to
Me!”
Sheik Toosi narrates from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) that the Prophet
(a.s) said, “O people! It is mandatory for you to follow my Sunna! Doing
small things according to the sunna is better than doing more through innovation (Bidat).”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says, “If you have any doubts about the
matters of Faith, refer them to us. We shall explain them to you!”
Imam Mehdi (a.s) says, “If you get doubts about the tenets of Shariah,
refer to the narrators of our traditions. They (the Ulema) are the authorities (Hujjat) for you and we are the authority (Hujjat) from Allah for
them.”
Authentic sources narrate a tradition that if one has doubt about matters of religion, he must refer to the people who are well versed about
Halal and Haram. Consider them your referee that Allah has appointed
them as such. If you reject their advice, it will be tantamount to rejecting
216our orders and Allah’s Orders! One who rejects Allah’s Orders is a polytheist (mushrik) and infidel. Bear in mind that on the Day of Reckoning
Allah will condone following anyone who is fully conversant with the
orders of the Ahl al Bayt and do not make interpretations with ulterior
motives of worldly gains.
217THE IDENTITY OF THE ULEMA
Imam Hasaan Askari (a.s) narrates form Imam Zain al Abedeen (a.s),
“When you see a person who has the appearance of a religious scholar,
gives deep thought in giving opinion on religious matters, shows excessive humility in his dealings, don’t make haste in falling to his stratagems.
There are plenty of people who, for worldly gains, pretend to be what
they are not in reality. If you notice that the person is not interested in
material gains, manifests external piety, even then one should be careful
in deciding about his authenticity. Remember! There are many kinds of
mundane desires. If a person is not interested in wealth, he might be inclined towards other things that are against the Law of the Religion
(Shara). If you are sure that the person is free of these aberrations too,
you have to observe him further that there are some persons who lack in
intellect and for this failing sometimes they cause grave damage to the
Religion in their ignorance. Even after assuring yourself about this, observe the person further unless you know that his emotions don’t prevail
over his better sense in any matter. Ensure that he doesn’t prefer worldly
pomp (Riyasat) and show. There are many persons in this world who
lose their Faith in search of worldly gains! They may be deprived of
both! Because of these sins Allah removes His Munificence and Mercies
from them and leaves them in the morass of depravity. Then they start
pronouncing as legitimate (Halal) what is termed taboo (Haram) by Allah
and they try to prove Haram things that are deemed Halal by the
Almighty. For worldly pomp the person forgets his Religious obligations. These are the people who will be the accursed of Allah and will
have stringent Retribution in store for them!
A bold person is one who controls his carnal desires. He expends his
energies in the way of Allah. He will have a firm belief that he has to prepare for the benefits of the Hereafter in this life. He knows that the
worldly fame and adulation is transitory. If he has to bear some hardship
in this world to follow the dictates of the Faith, he is sure of the perpetual pleasure and benefits in the other world. He will have all the qualities
that make him fit and ideal for emulation (taqleed) by others. His prayers
are always answered!
