The
Ismaili CONSTITUTION
vis-à-vis
The
Holy Qur'an
Bismillaahir
Rahmaanir Rahiim
In
The Name Of ALLAH, Rahman, Rahim
Salaamun
alaykum and YA ALI
MADAD
here
again, is the qur'anic & hadisic foundation upon which our tariqah was
founded from day 1.
THE
IMAM FOR MANKIND & HIS RECOGNITION --
*IN
THIS -- FII HAAZIHII*
017.071
on the day when we shall summon all men
with
their IMAM?IMAAM
ihim.....
017.072
whoso is
blind
IN
THIS
-- FII HAAZIHII
-- will be blind
in the hereafter,
and
yet further
from the road.
---
important
reflection:
.
how will YOU, my muslim brethren ATTAIN
or even RECOGNIZE
ALLAH
in the hereafter -- If _Y_O_U__F_A_I_L_
TO RECOGNIZE
the
Holy Imam [SA] -- In
This--Fii Haazihii?
.
WHOSE
PATH
is the right path, according to HQ. 17:71,72?
.
please note that the qur'anic phrase viz., *In
This--Fii Haazihii*
does not only mean recognition in this world alone -- but it also includes
RECOGNITION in other *unseen -- [BATIN] -- esoteric* matters.
one
of them being the origin & perpetuity of the Holy Imam [SA] & His
_D_I_V_I_N_E_ IMAMATE, which stems directly from this verse per se, and as
Proclaimed By ALLAH Himself at the conclusion of nabbuwat--prophethood [HQ.
5:67].
i. HQ. 005.067 o
messenger!
ballig
maa -- proclaim he who
--
that which hath been revealed unto thee
from
thy lord, for if thou do
it not
thou
wilt not
have
conveyed his message.
---
ii.
HQ 27:40. it is recorded in 'khulasatul-manhaj' of thalahi who is one of
the renowned sunni commentators that abdullah bin salam asked the holy prophet
as to who that was who presented the queen of sheba on her throne to solomon.
the holy prophet said, 'it was none else but ali-ibne-abi talib,' and addressing
ali he said,
"O
ALI, THOU HAS BEEN HIDDEN WITH
THE
APOSTLES OF GOD, PRECEEDING
ME,
AND WITH ME THOU ARE MANIFEST."
[the
holy quran text, translation and commentary, s. v. mir ahmed ali, pp.
1156-57].
--------
the
new testament:
hebrews 7:1 for this melchisedec, king of salem [peace - islam means
peace], priest [imam]
of the most high god [el-elyon heb. and al-aliyyun - arb. hq.
42:51],
who met abraham ... first being by _i_n_t_e_r_p_r_e_t_a_t_i_o_n_ king of
righteousness, and after that also king of salem, which is, king of peace [islam
means peace];
hebrews
7:3 without father,
without
mother,
without
descent,
having
neither beginning of days,
nor
end of life;
but
made like unto the son of god [divine]
abideth
a priest [imam] continually.
[see
genesis 14:18-22; psalms 110:4 as well. see also akbarally
meherally's
fantastic 1989 publication -- isbn 0-9693571-1-7, *understanding the bible --
through koranic verses,* pp. 89].
---
in
any case, why did ALLAH Himself:
i.
_i_m_p_o_s_e_
such a condition
ii.
on
the Holy prophet [sas]
islam
and
the holy qur'an:
iii.
if
this matter was insignificant;
iv.
or
irrelevant to islam overall;
v.
and
more so, to one's salvation?
vi.
what
_d_i_s_t_i_n_c_t_i_o_n_
if any,
vii.
did
ALLAH maintain *in
this--fii haazihii*
viii.
--
between Himself and the Holy Imam [sa] of the age?
please
follow the trend of my thought. Allah says that obedience to the messenger is
obedience to ALLAH:
004.080
whoso obeys the messenger obeys ALLAH,
---
in
the like manner, obedience to *ULIL AMR [IMAMS]* -- is obedience to ALLAH. says He:
004.059
o ye who believe!
obey
ALLAH,
_A_N_D_
obey the messenger
_A_N_D_
those in authority
--
from among you;
---
asserts
a shia ithna'asharite commentary:
the obedience _d_e_m_a_n_d_e_d_ for the *ULIL AMR* being the _s_a_m_e_ as
for god and the holy prophet .... [s.v. mir ahmed ali, #548, pp.
382].
---
despite
the aforesaid, if there was anymore _D_I_S_T_I_N_C_T_I_O_N__L_E_F_T_
between ALLAH and the HOLY IMAM [SA] or the IMAAMIM
MUBIIN
? then it was taken care of by Surah Yaseen 36:12, which says in
part:
*wa
kulla shay-in
_A_H_-S_A_Y_naahu
fii
imaamim mubiin --
:
and
everything
have
We _V_E_S_T_E_D_
in
the imam manifest*
----
.
having said that, who was the VERY
FIRST -- NON-HUMAN -- HOLY IMAM [SA]
if, indeed, the very first imam was a human being himself?
that
is, a NON-HUMAN
IMAM
of the human imam, in accordance with hq. 17:71,71. see hebrews 7:1-3 above in
order to understand this question.
------
what
does the above qur'anic injunction mean in a very general -- *shariati--exoteric*
sense
and/or a layman?s language?
well,
let akbarally meherally tell us what that means:

by
this constitutional instrument AND IN EXERCISE OF THE AUTHORITY _V_E_S_T_E_D_
IN ME AS HAZAR IMAM
and recited in the ismaili constitution, I, Shah KARIM Al Hussaini Aga
Khan, am pleased to ORDAIN and do hereby ORDAIN that the shia IMAMI ismaili
muslims, in whatever place they may be, SHALL AT ALL TIMES BE BOUND AND GOVERNED
by the constitution hereinafter appearing which is a consolidation into one
document of previous changes...

WHO
_V_E_S_T_E_D_
this _S_U_P_R_E_M_E_ authority in our Holy IMAM [SA]?
see
hq. 5:35; 4:54,59; 6:162; 17:71,72 & 36:12, etc., and _p_o_n_d_e_r_ over it
-- as exhorted by the holy qur'an. in any case, all the qur'anic evidence you
need -- *in this--fii haazihii* -- case is right here before you for your
perusal and verification.
rest
assured, any non-ismaili
muslim -- like akbarally meherally
-- is free to either accept or reject the Holy Qur'an, if he so chooses, since
there is no compulsion in religion [HQ. 2:257].
however,
let no one ever try to CONDEMN us, the ismailis for
obeying
ALLAH's explicit commands in the letter and spirit
as well, submitting to His
will,
as
_D_E_F_I_N_E_D_
in our Holy Constitution.
and
despite these irrefutable qur'anic facts, akbarally meherally has not only
repeatedly reviled and rejected the holy qur'an under false pretexts. etc., but
also he has taken upon himself to misguide the anti-ismaili or ill-informed
muslims and cause more divisions thereby -- within the already weakened
ummah:
says
akbarally meherally
http://www.mostmerciful.com/ismaili-constitution.htm
>>
important
note: each and every
follower of Karim Aga Khan
is
bound and governed by this ordained constitution irrespective of what may be his
or her personal belief(s) for the eternal sovereignty and the supreme authority
of ALLAH (s.w.t.) visa vis that of Karim Aga Khan.
article
one 1.1 reads:
MAWLANA
HAZAR IMAM
has inherent right and
absolute
and unfettered POWER
AND
AUTHORITY
over and in respect of all religious
and
jamati matters of the ismailis.
important
note:
i.
a
muslim is the one that submits himself or herself to the will of ALLAH
(s.w.t.).
ii.
an
ismaili
is the one that has agreed to be bound and governed by
the constitution ordained by aga khan.
to
say that i have submitted myself to the will of ALLAH and also prefer to be
governed by the constitution ordained by the Aga Khan is to admit that i have
chosen two masters. and, the later has the absolute and unfettered power and
authority over me in all religious matters.

NAVALI:
important points to note:
contends
akbarally meherally,
*a muslim is the one that
submits(?,
navali)
himself
or herself to the will of ALLAH*
--
NAVALI: please review the following facts
very carefully:
A.
what
does he _M_E_A_N_
by the above hypocritical & ludicrous
statement, if anything at all?
B.
did
the majority of the sunni muslims _E_V_E_R_
follow
this injunction of the Holy Qur?an;
C.
and
thus, the Holy Imam [SA] of the age and time?
D.
does
he now or, did he _E_V_E_R_
do it faithfully in the past?
let
anyone look at the islamic history
of the past 1420 plus years and akbarally meherally?s own track record for the
past few decades and verify the above for themselves, if they so choose.
But
more importantly:
I.
Their
[sunnis]
religious practices namely, the 5
times/day
prayers;
II.
Observing
the kab?ah
qiblah
-- during performance thereof;
III.
And
performing ablution
before each and every prayer except the morning prayer, etc.,
IV.
ARE
NOT even based on the QUR?ANIC INJUNCTIONS,
as i have shown repeatedly before.
however,
on the other hand, if(?) akbarally meherally?s claim was true, as he contends or
would have us believe -- then he would have followed the holy qur'an per se, in
the letter and spirit 100%.
and
if(?), and that is a big if, that was the case i.e., he had followed the holy
qur?an 100% then, ?MAWLANA
HAZAR IMAM
would
have inherent right and absolute and unfettered
POWER AND AUTHORITY over
and in respect of all religious matters of akbarally meherally -- as before or
outlined in our
Holy Constitution.?
period!
H.
H. Prince Aga Khan III:
*The
Religion Of My
Ancestors
--- Islam*
what has been my own policy with my followers? our religion is our religion, you either
believe in it or you do not. you can leave a faith but you cannot, if you do not
accept it tenets, remain within it and claim to *reform* it. you can abandon
those tenets but you cannot try to change them and still protest that you belong
to the particular sect that holds them.
----
rest
assured, no one could have been more forthright, candid and explicit about these
vital and fundamental issues in religion, especially islam.
akbarally
meherally
on the other hand, always had this option ? TO
LEAVE
-- before him --
BECAUSE --
he had been contending with our holy imams [pbuth] since the late 40's ? early
50?s or thereabouts. yet, he never exercised his right in a proper manner.
rather,
he chose the wrong way to go about it -- until his ceremonious
excommunication, which he tried to fight tooth and nail right up to the end
but in vain. believe me, i can take a small credit for his
excommunication.
on
the other hand, although, he loves to accuse us, the ismailis of having
2?two
masters
namely, Allah and the Aga Khan, he
himself was in a position once, when he had more than that. here are the
irrefutable facts:
1.
he
had Allah;
2.
the
Aga Khan;
3.
and
the then, late rashad
khalifa
SIMULTANEOUSLY,
from mid to late ?80?s.
4.
and
of course, his payroll masters ? the saudi wahabis.
5.
AND
NOW,
HE HAS NONE ? EXCEPT
in his mind & vain ideology,

~EXAMINING~
the ordained constitution of
the shia imami ismaili muslims
the
preamble begins with:
Bismi-llahi-r-Rahmani-R-Rahim
whereas
(A) THE SHIA
IMAMI ISMAILI MUSLIMS _A_F_F_I_R_M:
1.
the shahadah 'la ilaha illa-llah,
2.
muhammadur
3. RASULU-LLAH', THE TAWHID
THEREIN
4.
and that the holy prophet muhammad
(salla-llahu 'alayhi wa- sallam) is the last and final prophet of
ALLAH.
5. ISLAM,
AS REVEALED IN THE HOLY QURAN,
6.
is the final message of ALLAH to mankind,
and is universal and eternal. The holy prophet (s.a.s.) Through the divine revelation from ALLAH prescribed rules
governing spiritual and temporal
matters.
[emphasis
added, navali]
----
important
note:
a.
upon
reading the above _s_h_a_h_a_d_a_h_
b.
one
can notice that the consequential
part
of the shahadah which should normally affirm The
Shia Doctrine Of Faith is intentionally
concealed.
c.
the
unrevealed
portion
of the ismaili shahadah
which is daily affirmed by the ismailis in their ritual prayers
reads:
d.
'aly-yun
amirul-mu'minin 'aly-yu-lah.
e.
ANY
LEGALLY DRAFTED
primary document of consequence that fails
to disclose
the whole truth about the fundamental
doctrine of its faith ?
f.
the
shahadah, conveys a lot for those
who wish to follow "the truth".
the interpretation of this hidden phrase negates the tawhid.
-----
NAVALI:
rest assured, akbarally
meherally has just DEFEATED
his own purpose by being a little too smart for his own good. says he: ?ANY
LEGALLY DRAFTED primary document of consequence...?
if
this is a LEGAL
DOCUMENT,
and it is, as he concurs or contends, then so be it. We don?t PREACH this LEGAL
DOCUMENT in our FAITH or PRAYER HALLS. it was drawn up for the very purpose
which it?s NAME indicates.
however,
had that been the ONLY
CLAUSE
in the preamble then akbarally meherally would have had a very strong case
against the ismailis and its Spiritual Leader, the Holy Imam [SA], as would have
had the other ismaili muslims, too, without exception. but that was not the case
at all, as you will see herein.
note:
the preamble
begins with ......
the shia IMAMI ismaili muslims _A_F_F_I_R_M_
.....
:
.... *ISLAM,
AS REVEALED IN THE HOLY QURAN,
is
the final message of ALLAH to mankind, and is
universal
and eternal.*
---
NAVALI:
please note again what our ?Holy
Constitution?
says -- as quoted by akbarally
meherally himself.
In
other words, we, the shia imami ismaili muslims follow:
*ISLAM,
AS _R_E_V_E_A_L_E_D_
IN
THE
HOLY
QUR'AN*
ONLY!
---
and
that being the case, the ROLE, POSITION AND RECOGNITION *IN
THIS--FII HAAZIHII*
-- of hazrat mowlana ali [as] and that of the present living holy imam (sa) of
the age and time become of utmost importance:
a. to
the _Q_U_R_'A_N_I_C_ islam
b.
_S_H_I_A_
_D_O_C_T_R_I_N_E_
C.
_t_r_a_d_i_t_i_o_n
&
D.
interpretation
of faith,
of
which, the shia imami ismaili tariqah is major sect.
the
aforesaid is clearly _s_t_i_p_u_l_a_t_e_d_ in the very next clause of the
preamble, which apparently, akbarally meherally had deliberately excluded. his
reasons for doing so will become obvious shortly.
he
continues:
>>
upon
reading the above _s_h_a_h_a_d_a_h_ one can notice that the consequential part
of the _s_h_a_h_a_d_a_h_

for those who wish to follow "the truth".

5.
the interpretation of this hidden phrase

[emphasis
added, navali]
----
is
that so? please notice his use of the phrase viz:
?_A_F_F_I_R_M_
THE _S_H_I_A_
_D_O_C_T_R_I_N_E._?
QUESTION:
where
did he BORROW
that language or phrase?
rest
assured, it was ?EXTRACTED?
from
the very next clause which, HE
HIMSELF HAD EXCLUDED OTHERWISE
in pursuit of his private agenda.
regardless,
the EXCLUDED
CLAUSE
is a continuation of the affirmation cited in the first. please note what the
2nd clause of the said preamble reads in black and white. also note his
assertion or contention thereof:
?ANY
LEGALLY DRAFTED
primary
document of consequence ....?
note:
the preamble begins with ......
[a] ... the shia IMAMI ismaili
muslims AFFIRM .....
:

daughter hazrat bibi fatmat-az-zahara,
khatun-jannat
(alayhi-s-salaam).
----
despite
the above categorical clarification, unfortunately, what the POOR akbarally
meherally FAILED to NOTICE OR COMPREHEND all along, within these few words was
that -- the said preamble had FULLY
COVERED
every phase of the universal and eternal
*ISLAM,
AS REVEALED IN THE HOLY QURAN*
per
se.
and
as such, every shia IMAMI ismaili knows PRECISELY what that means. we do not
have to spell it out BECAUSE ours is an ?ESOTERIC TARIQAH,? which means and
DEPENDS on individual search.
hq.
074.052 nay, but everyone of them
desireth
that he should be
given
open pages (from allah).
in
any case, our 'esoteric--batin' tariqah has been very clear on
S_H_I_A_
_D_O_C_T_R_I_N_E,_
TRADITION
&
INTERPRETATION
of faith --
with
regards to hazrat mawlana ali [as] ?
[aly-yun
amirul-mu'minin 'aly-yu-lah] ?
and
his _D_I_V_I_N_E_
role and position in islam,
as
revealed in the holy qur'an
and
the islamic history per se.
having
said that, let us now consider the other issue of his contention, which is also
directly related to all of the above.
THE
QUR'ANIC MEANING
OF
?ALLAH'S
TAWHIID ? UNITY?
as
per our interpretation
please
note again what the Holy
Constitution
stipulates very clearly:
http://www.mostmerciful.com/ismaili-constitution.htm
the
shia IMAMI ismaili muslims:
(a)
AFFIRM
the shahadah.
(b)
'la
ilaha illa-llah,
(c)
muhammadur
:
(d)
RASULU-LLAH',
:
(e)
THE
TAWHID
(f)
_T_H_E_R_E_I_N_
[emphasis
added, navali]
---
do
you know or understand what that means, especially parts d, e & f?
well, according to _o_u_r_ interpretation of islam it means
that:
1. ALLAH and his
rasul or RASULU-LLAH
--
2.
_J_O_I_N_T_L_Y_
MADE UP THE TAWHIID--
UNITY OF ALLAH PER SE;
:
3. Since the concept
of *exoteric--zahir--manifest
& esoteric--batin--unseen*
4. Is fundamentally
important in islam and OUR
TARIQAH.
please
read and review the above faithfully and intelligently because ALLAH himself had
JOINED both the risalat and imamate UNTO HIMSELF and BIDDEN muslims to do
likewise. this is obvious from:
001.006
guide us the straight path;
001.007
THE PATH OF THOSE ....
:
002.027
those who break
the
covenant of ALLAH
after
ratifying it,
AND
*_S_E_V_E_R_ MAA -- HE WHO* --
THAT
WHICH ALLAH
ORDERED
TO BE _J_O_I_N_E_D_
UNTO
HIM--BIHII,
[see
also HQ. 13:19-25]
---
additional
proof:
iii.
004.150
lo! those who disbelieve in ALLAH and his messengers,
iv.
and
seek to make
_d_i_s_t_i_n_c_t_i_o_n_
v.
between
ALLAH and his messengers,
vi.
004.152
but those who believe in ALLAH and his messengers
vii.
and
make
_n_o_ _d_i_s_t_i_n_c_t_i_o_n_
between any of them;
---
moreover,
with the PROCLAMATION of the Holy Imamate in succession to
nabbuwat--prophethood, ALLAH concluded islam like so:
HQ.
5: 3 this day have i perfected
your religion
for
you and completed
my
favour
unto you, and have chosen
for
you as religion al-islam.
----
simply
put, not only did Allah ETERNALIZE
ISLAM
in
this
manner but also through the Holy Institution
of
IMAMATE
? He made IT CURRENT ?
as
in EVER
PRESENT
-- in its
ETERNAL
CONCEPT.
therefore,
every aspect of our Holy Tariqah, including the TAWIL and TALIM -- was not only
revealed in the Holy Qur'an per se., but also both COMPLEMENT AND SUPPLEMENT
each other in more ways than one.

ETERNAL CONSTITUTION REVEALS:
verily
this BROTHERHOOD of yours is a single BROTHERHOOD [_H_A_A_Z_I_H_I_I_
UMMATU-KUM UMMATAN, navali]
and i am your lord and cherisher: therefore serve me (and no other). glorious qur'an 21: 92
and
how many SIGNS in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? yet they turn
(their faces) away from them! and most of them believe not in ALLAH without
associating (others as partners) with him! glorious qur'an 12: 105 -106 the
translations by abdullah yusuf ali
>>
.--
NAVALI:
the above rendition and interpretation thereof seem quite interesting too. even
so, let us re-examine each verse on it?s own merit.
'UMMATAN
& _H_A_A_Z_I_H_I_I_*
021.092
yusufali:
verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood [_h_a_a_z_i_h_i_i_
ummatu-kum ummatan, navali],
and i am your lord and cherisher: therefore serve me (and no other).
pickthal:
lo! this, your religion, is one religion
[_h_a_a_z_i_h_i_i_
ummatu-kum ummatan,
navali],
and
i am your lord, so __W_O_R_S_H_I_P_
me.
shakir:
surely this islam is your religion, one religion (only)
[_h_a_a_z_i_h_i_i_ ummatu-kum ummatan, navali],
and i am your lord, therefore serve me.
---
are
these the only meanings and/or INTERPRETATIONS of the word 'UMMATAN'?
if so then let's see what the Holy Qur'an says in this regard as
well.
023.068
have they not _p_o_n_d_e_r_e_d_ the _w_o_r_d,_
the
arabic text reads:
21:92: INNA _H_A_A_Z_I_H_I_I_
UMMATU-KUM
UMMATAN
WAAHIDATANW...
--
we
have already seen what the phrase viz., *FII
HAAZIHII*
represents in the Holy Qur'an. now here is ALLAH's own definition of the word
*UMMATAN*:
HQ.
16:120
INNA
IBRAAHIIM
KAANA UMMATAN
.....
VERILY
ABRAHAM
WAS AN UMMATAN
--
----
so
in ALLAH's DIVINE SIGHT the holy _I_M_A_M,_
saint and prophet abraham
[as] -- [hq. 2:124 & 19:41] -- was himself an UMMATAN
-- meaning: a nation, brotherhood or religion, etc.
hence,
what does that make every RIGHTFUL
IMAM
from his descent [pbuth]?, since there is NO CHANGE in ALLAH's word or law? ?
24:34,35; 6:115; 17:77; 18:27; 33:62; 48:23.
let
us now REPLACE
the above rendition with ALLAH's definition since that is the precise meaning of
HIS REVELATION, namely the HOLY IMAM HIMSELF [SA].
in
other words, both the ?TRUE?
ISLAM
[note again -- ?TRUE?]
and the Holy Qur'an ARE ABOUT HIM-- the HOLY IMAM HIMSELF [SA] AND HIS
RECOGNITION ? ?IN
THIS -- FII HAAZIHII?:
21:92: Inna ?_H_A_A_Z_I_H_I_I_
Ummatu?-kum
?UMMATAN
WAAHIDTANW?
---
VERIY,
?THIS IS YOUR IMAM? ?
?ONE
IMAM? ...
and
i am your lord, so
__W_O_R_S_H_I_P_
me.
see
also 23:52]
----
please
note ALSO that ALLAH Himself
HAD
JOINED THE HOLY IMAM
[SA]
unto
himself and __W_O_R_S_H_I_P._
:
002.027
those who break
the
covenant of ALLAH
after
ratifying it,
:
AND
*__S_E_V_E_R_ MAA -- HE WHO*
--
THAT WHICH ALLAH
ORDERED
TO BE _J_O_I_N_E_D_
UNTO
HIM--BIHII,
:
[see
also hq. 13:19-25]
----
017.071
on the day when we shall summon
all
men with their IMAM?IMAAMihim.....
017.072

a
shia ithna' ashari'te commentary:
i.
vr 92 -- ... having the
application of this verse, in view one would appreciate the justification of
taking 'UMMAT' HERE AS TO MEAN 'IMAM'. in the same way the word 'ummat'
is used in 2:143; 3:103,109; [s.v.
mir ahmed ali, #1204 pp. 869]
ii.
a.
vr.
120 here ABRAHAM is asserted to be
an 'UMMAT;'
b. which cannot but
mean IMAM [I.E. LEADER]
c.
.... this is the justification of the
INTERPRETATION
d.
of the word 'UMMAT' AS 'IMAM',
here
and on the other verses of qur'an ..... [ibid. #1206 pp.
873].
iii. 'the
following are some of the injunctions of muhammad
REGARDING
THE IMAM
or
khalifa:
a.
"whoever quits obedience to the IMAM
and divides a body of muslims, dies like the people in ignorance
(jaahiliyaa)".
b.
"he who forsakes obedience to the IMAM,
will come before god on the day of resurrection without a proof of his
faith".' (vide dictionary of islam, by t.d. hughes - pp.
266)
iv. "the dictionary is for
the most part an exposition of opinions of the sunni
sect...very
special attention has been given to the views of the wahabis,
as it is the author's conviction that they represent the earliest
teachings of
the muslim faith as they came from mohammed and his immediate successors" -
(ibid-preface).
ahmad
ibn hanbal-musnad al kufiyyeen- hadeeth #18464
so
hold on to the BOOK OF ALLAH and hold fast to it.
then
he encouraged us about the BOOK OF ALLAH
and
he emphasized on it he said and MY
AHLUL-BAYT.
i
remind you concerning my ahlul-bayt.
i
remind you concerning my ahlul-bayt.
i
remind you concerning my ahlul-bayt.
THEY
ARE THE CHILDREN OF 'ALI,
......
---------
so,
after all is said and done, is not akbarally
meherally
himself telling you most indirectly or in his own biased way that only the shia
imami ismaili muslim tariqah is the truth, as revealed in the holy qur'an?
allow
me to prove it further, if you have anymore lingering doubts in your mind.
says akbarally
meherally
http://www.mostmerciful.com/ismaili-constitution.htm
>>
and
how many _S_I_G_N_S_ in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? ? yet
they turn (their faces) away from _T_H_E_M!_
>>
NAVALI: what did ALLAH mean by the
above declaration?
i.
first
of, did akbarally meherally really understand
ALLAH's explicit guidance?
ii.
second,
or was/is he just trying to misguide
you?
iii.
and
third, teach
ALLAH
his [akbarally meherally] religion/cult, after following the late
rashad
khalifa
and the saudi
wahabis?
please
read the above & following very slowly and intelligently as well, follow the
trend of my thought.
see
what ALLAH says elsewhere about HIS
SIGNS OR REVELATIONS,
that akbarally meherally and the saudi wahabis would have you
follow:
041.037
a. and of His Portents
are
the
night
and
the day
and
the sun
and
the moon.
adore
-- [prostrate--tasjuduu] ?
not
the sun nor the moon;
:
:
BUT
ADORE -- [PROSTRATE--WASJUDUU] ?
ALLAH
WHO CREATED THEM,
IF
IT IS IN TRUTH HIM WHOM
YE
__W__O__R__S__H__I__P.__
-----
please
notice what allah himself says herein. although, ALLAH'S
REVELATIONS
have been directly JOINED
TO HIS WORSHIP
? those revelations do not include the sun nor the moon.
moreover,
ALLAH
himself had also JOINED
THE HOLY IMAM
[SA] unto himself AND HIS WORHIP,
as just seen. see also Surah Fatihah 1:4?6 in this regard, if you
wish.
on
the other hand, either akbarally meherally is driving you to some old form of idolatry by saying
what he just did -- or he himself -- did not understand ALLAH'S REVELATIONS at
all. i believe it is the latter. and here's why!
more
often than not, an exoteric muslim like him will readily think of the sun, moon
stars, day and night, etc., as being the ONLY heavenly or earthly SIGNS OR
REVELATIONS -- referred to in the said verse and many others cited elsewhere by
akbarally meherally, etc. and yet, what does it teach him/them, if anything at
all?
says
ALLAH:
>>
adore
-- [prostrate--tasjuduu] ?
not
the sun
nor
the moon;
:
BUT
ADORE -- [PROSTRATE--WASJUDUU] ?
ALLAH
who created them,
if
it is in truth him whom ye
WORSHIP.
>>
so
much for his, [akbarally meherally] faith in Allah's Signs ? namely the sun,
moon stars, day and night -- in heaven and earth, which do absolutely nothing in
him -- to induce, generate or arouse humility, prostration & worship of
ALLAH, as these REVELATIONS must do. after all, He is Rabbil Aalamiin?The Lord
Of The Worlds.
in
any case, when an esoteric--sufi muslim
viz., the world renowned kabir, guru nanak, al-gazzali, shams tabriz,
mansur al-hallaj, jaleludin roumi or an ismaili pir etc., was reminded of
ALLAH's heavenly and earthly SIGNS OR REVELATIONS his immediate reaction
was completely different.
Hzt.
Abraham?s [as] factual episode mentioned at HQ.
6:76-81
comes to mind as a good example in this case as does the
following:
019.058
These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from
among
the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We
carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of
the seed of Abraham
and
Israel, and from among those whom We
guided and chose.
When
the REVELATIONS OF AAYAATUR--RAHMAAN
?
were
recited unto them, they fell down,
PROSTRATING
and weeping.
---
in
the like manner, the faithful takes its meaning further than what he perceives
in his own mind or sees with his physical eyes ? as did Hzt. Abraham [as] @
HQ.
6:76-81.
moreover,
the Holy Imam?s [SA] GUIDANCE & Allah?s EXHORTATION are always kept in view,
contemplation and meditations. he is OFTEN REMINDED to be humble by His Holy
Imam [SA] and the Holy Qur?an. he
is immediately moved to offer a full PROSTRATION
and sing the praise of his Lord as commanded:
032.015
only those believe in our
revelations
who,
when
they are reminded
of them,
fall
down prostrate
and
HYMN the praise of their Lord,
and
they are not scornful,
----
The
D_I_V_I_N_E__E_Q_U_A_T_I_O_N__
ALLAH
himself had _e_q_u_a_t_e_d_ the prophet
...
and a summoner unto ALLAH
and
a lamp that giveth light ?
wa
siraajam muniiraa
[hq. 33:45,46]
:
TO
:
*...
also marveling in this world at the
signs
of god which are here manifest
-
the
lamp and a moon giving light [hq. 71:18]
[siraajan
wa qamaram muniiraa*
25:61
& 71:16 navali].
['muhammad
- his life based on the earliest sources' * page. 68].
[note:
this book was endorsed recently by akbarally
meherally]
-----
please
note the profound similarities between these 2 verses, as we have them in our
Holy Scripture only.
the
material and spiritual significance of this divine equation goes far beyond and
above what any human being or the highest archangel in the universe could ever
envisage. only ALLAH is the author of that equation and so, only He knows the
full and complete meaning thereof. hence, its revelation was not without a
purpose.
the
REVELATIONS in islam
to
which PROSTRATION
is due
--
by allah?s explicit command --
ithna'asharite
commentary:
vr.
30 (50) ' wallazeena kafaru wa
kazzabu bi-aayaatinaa -- meaning
'as
for
those who disbelieve and belie our signs.' the question arises as to what the signs of god are? the
words 'aayaat' has been translated
by some translators as 'the verses' (of the book). it is not a complete meaning.
the actual or the literal meaning of the word 'aayaat' is sign and "aayaat" is the plural of 'aayat.' a
sign is an object or an action which draws attention towards some objective
person or event. the verse of the
holy qur'an is, no doubt, an' aayat' in the sense that it draws attention of the
reader towards its
meaning.
and
god's signs in the perfect sense of the meaning
of
the word can be only those beings
whose
holy personalities .....
the
best and the GREATEST
AAYAAT or the
signs
of
god
are the holy prophet, his holy daughter
fatema
AND THE ... HOLY
IMAMS.
no
doubt every apostle of god was during his time a sign of... jesus
in
vr.
21:91 is called an 'aayat,' a sign [s. v. mir ahmed ali pp.
94].
---
this
then, is the QUR'ANIC
FOUNDATION
of our Holy
Constitution
And The Tariqah
which,
akbarally meherally and his goons like qari faizullah [aka nur iman or al_alaa]
of pakistan, have knowingly rejected under false
pretexts.
027.081
Nor canst thou lead the blind
out of their
error.
Thou canst make none to hear,
SAVE?illaa
-- those who believe
Our
revelations?aayaatinaa
and
who have surrendered--muslimuun.
---
please compare the
above with the meaning of ?muslim?
given by akbarally meherally -- AND
NOTICE the world of
difference between the two.
