Salaamun alaykum and YA ALI MADAD

Mubarak to all Shias Muslims on the Auspicious Occasion of Hzt. Ali's (as) birthday.

005.056 And whoso taketh ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER
AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE for guardian (will know that),
LO! THE PARTY OF ALLAH, they are the victorious.

58.22 .... They are ALLAH'S PARTY. LO!
IS IT NOT ALLAH'S PARTY WHO ARE THE SUCCESSFUL?
-----

Despite what some enthusiastic and misinformed Muslim would have
us believe on here, the Holy Qur'an plainly asserts that Allah is not
**ALONE** after all.

Where He is, there is a day and night. There are those in His Presence who
PRAY AND PROSTRATE BEFORE HIM as well, SERVE Him continually. That He has a
'Party' of His own. He is said to have *MANIFEST REVELATIONS, SIGNS AND/OR
PROOFS* -- which He revealed in Islam over 1400 years ago.

Hence, Muslims have NO RIGHT to that *NOOR--LIGHT,* save what Allah will!

On the other hand, both Shia and Sunni Muslims believe that the
Holy Prophet, the Ahl al-Bayt and the Holy Imams [pbuth] are meant
by this Divine Concept--[NOORUN ALAA NOOR--LIGHT UPON LIGHT] --,
as I have shown before.

In 1982, one akbaraLy mehIRNally aka akbaraLLy mehERally or
akbar of British Columbia, Canada had shown the same in his book
viz., 'From Abraham to Aga Khan.' The said book was REJECTED
OUTRIGHT by our Canadian leadership, for which, I can take a
small credit. He was EXCOMMUNICATED from the Ismaili Tariqah
when he started propagating Rashad Khalifa's false teachings
among the Ismailis.

ALLAH'S PHYSICAL FEATURES AND EMOTIONS

Regardless, we are also told that He, the TRANSCENDENT GOD in
heaven had _C_H_O_S_E_N_ -- Hzt. Nabi and IMAM Abraham (as)
as HIS FRIEND on earth. The Holy Qur'an adds that Allah has
enemies as well. That He Himself fights and conquers His enemies.

That it was *HIS WISH/_D_E_S_I_R_E*_ to PURIFY the Ahl al-Bayt with
utmost PURIFICATION. Allah says that He created -- Man [maa--he
who], with HIS OWN 2 _H_A_N_D_S.

But more importantly, the *MANIFEST PROOFS--BAYYINAAT* of the
guidance" [HQ. 2:185]; which Allah REVEALED during the Month
of Ramadan were/are an integral and intrinsic part of the TRUE
ISLAM. That they are worthy of *Worship and Prostration* in the
TRUE ISLAM, as shown by the Holy Prophet Himself (SAS) through
His own EXAMPLE, practice and teachings.

Further, Allah COMMANDED to *JOIN --MAA--HE WHO--
THAT WHICH -- UNTO HIM--BIHII,* like so:

Although the following COMMENTARY from a Shia Ithna'ashari
source, is an incomplete interpretation of the above verse, it
will serve the purpose at hand:

(37) v. 27. 'Wa yaqta ana' -- and cut off or deprive anyone of
what he rightly claims of us i.e., 'Sila-e-Rehm' --- For this Islam
ENJOINS every faithful adherent of it, to be attached to the
Holy Prophet AND IN HIS ABSENCE TO THE HOLY IMAMS or the
DIVINELY INSPIRED and commissioned guides towards the right
path against the overcrowding or the over-whelming delusions
of falsehood. Thus every faithful one is IN DUTY BOUND to be
attached to the Holy Prophet AND THE HOLY IMAMS and never
to cut away his relationship with these HEAVENLY GUIDES
[S.V. Mir Ahmed Ali pp. 62].
------------

Meaning: Allah had ORDERED that Hzt. Ali and the Holy Imams [pbuth],
_MUST BE JOINED UNTO HIM._ Anything short of enforcing this
Divine Order is Un-Islamic in every sense of the word.

Having said that, let us consider akbaraLLy mehERally's views re: the
practice of Islam, as he would have us believe:

: Here are a few verses from Surah Az-Zumar (39) of the Glorious Qur'an:
:
: 2 Lo! We have revealed the Scripture unto thee (Muhammad)
: with truth; so **worship** Allah, making religion pure for Him (only).
:
------

NAVALI: Despite the above Allah also says:

WHO/WHAT ARE THESE REVELATIONS IN ISLAM TO
WHICH PROSTRATION IS ALSO DUE???

Please ANSWER this simple question by following Allah's own
given criterion in the Holy Qur'an ONLY. Says Allah:

In other words, please begin your reply with Surah al-Fatihah! 

More importantly, your **DU'AA** --Salah--Prayer and **Sujuud--
Prostration** -- will be of no avail to you at anytime, if you, REJECT
the MANIFEST PROOFS that were REVEALED with the Holy Qur'an
and the Furqan during the Holy Month of Ramadan, as follows:

What is the meaning of this stupendous verse which akbar has
quoted a few times without explaining its QUR'ANIC meaning? Well,
let's review it in Allah's own WORD. Says Allah:

040.066 Say (O Muhammad): I am forbidden to
**_W_O_R_S_H_I_P_ THOSE**
unto whom ye PRAY beside Allah
:
_S_I_N_C_E_ there have come unto _M_E_
:
-- MANIFEST _PROOFS--BAYYINAATU -- from my Lord,
and I am commanded to surrender--USLIMA --
to the Lord of the Worlds.
-----

Does this mean that there was a time before this REVELATION:

1.     WHEN the Holy Prophet (SAS) WORSHIPPED OTHERS besides Allah;
2.     And THEN HE STOPPED IT?
3.     OR WAS THIS VERSE AN ABROGATION OF THE OLD PRACTICE;
in accordance with HQ. 2:106; 16:101?

For example, He continued to OBSERVE the OLD QIBLAH until that
practice was abrogated @ HQ. 2:142-150.

That false messenger viz., Rashad Khalifa - akbar's late mentor and
imam claimed that the Holy Prophet (SAS) was an idolator before
His Divine Commission. Refer to his, 'Qur'an-The Final Testament, foot
note # 40:66 -- pp. 474. As his follower and business associate, the
said akbar distributed this book among Muslims and misled them.

However, an intelligent study of this verse will show that the Holy
Prophet (SAS) was forbidden to WORSHIP others besides Allah SINCE
there had come to _HIM_ the Manifest Proofs from His Lord. In other
words, Allah abrogated the previous practice and replaced it with
**NEW REVELATIONS, which He EXALTED UNTO HIMSELF AND
JOINED IN HIS WORSHIP ** -- beginning at Surah al-Fatihah per se!

Please consider the following verses in this light:

040.069 Hast thou not seen those who wrangle
concerning the
a. REVELATIONS OF ALLAH,
how they are turned away ? -

040.070 Those who deny the
b. Scripture
:
c. AND THAT --[WA MAA]-- AND HE WHO
: ^^^^^^^
d. wherewith We send Our messengers.
But they will come to know,
-------

Meaning; Allah had REVEALED more than just the Scripture in Islam.
Now look at the meaning of *PURIFYING the Religion for Him,* -- as
given by Allah Himself. The Holy Qur'an says:

1.     My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your
*PRAYER--DU'AA.*

[please note that akbar views this *Qur'anic* word with utmost
contempt].

2.     Came not your messengers unto you with *MANIFEST
PROOFS-BAYYINAAT*?

3.     They say: Yea, verily. They say: Then do ye PRAY, although
the *PRAYER--DU'AA* -- of disbelievers is in vain.
------

Meaning: These MANIFEST PROOFS were an integral and intrinsic
part of Allah's Religion and WORSHIP without the shadow of the
doubt.

4.     So _P_R_A_Y_ unto Him, MAKING RELIGION PURE FOR HIM.
-----

Meaning: Recognition of these _MANIFEST PROOFS or ALLAH'S
REVELATIONS_ ALONE -- was the most important thing in Islam. And
SUBMITTING to these MANIFEST PROOFS was/is SUBMISSION to Allah
Himself. There is no other shortcut in Islam, however much the
disbelievers may hate it.

Again YOU AKBARALLY MEHERALLY wrote:

: 11 Say (O Muhammad): Lo! I am commanded to **worship** Allah,
: making religion pure for Him (only).
:
-----------

NAVALI: Despite the above Allah also says:

32.015 Only those believe in
i.     OUR REVELATIONS-AAYAATIINA --
ii.     who, when they are reminded of them,
iii.     FALL DOWN PROSTRATE-SUJJADAANW --
iv.     and hymn the praise of their Lord,
and they are not scornful,
-----------

WHO/WHAT ARE THESE REVELATIONS IN ISLAM TO WHICH
PROSTRATION IS ALSO DUE???

You wrote:

NAVALI: Despite the above Allah also says:

32.015 Only those believe in
i.     OUR REVELATIONS-AAYAATIINA --
ii.     who, when they are reminded of them,

iv.     and hymn the praise of their Lord,

-----------

WHO/WHAT ARE THESE REVELATIONS IN ISLAM TO WHICH
PROSTRATION IS ALSO DUE???

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 .....

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].
-------

Having said that, how important is the above commandment in the
practice of the TRUE ISLAM? Well, consider the essence of revelation
per se, in order to understand the aforesaid. Says Allah again with
regards to the above:

The Month of RAMADAN in which was REVEALED
1.     The QUR'AN, a guidance for mankind,
2.     AND THE MANIFEST PROOFS OF GUIDANCE -
                WA BAYYINAATIM MINAL HUDAA,
3.     And the FURQAN (HQ. 2:185)
-----------

If the Holy Prophet (SAS) was one of the MANIFEST PROOFS, according
to the Holy Qur'an only, then WHO were the others with Him? Allah
defines the TRUE ISLAM for Muslim's

003.019 Lo! RELIGION with Allah (is) the ISLAM.
Those who received:
a.     the SCRIPTURE differed only after
b.     KNOWLEDGE came unto them,
        through transgression among themselves.
c.     Whoso disbelieveth the REVELATIONS OF ALLAH
lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.
---------------

WHO OR WHAT ARE THE *REVELATIONS OF ALLAH* IN ISLAM? When were
they REVEALED IN ISLAM? When did Allah guide Muslims to them?

002.151 Even as We have sent unto you a MESSENGER from
among you, who reciteth unto you:

i.     OUR REVELATIONS
ii.     AND PURIFIES YOU,
:
iii.     and teacheth you the SCRIPTURE
iv.     and WISDOM,
:
v.     and teacheth you *THAT--MAA* which ye knew not.
[see also 2:129; 3:164; 4:113; 62:1-5].
--------

In other words, the ESSENCE and PRACTISE of Islam resonates around the
Revelations of Allah viz., Ahl al-Bayt and the HOLY IMAMS [pbuth] ONLY.

Surah 1.

001.005 Thee we worship; Thee we ask for help.
001.006 Show us the STRAIGHT PATH--SIRATAAL MUSTAQIIM,
001.007 The path of those......SIRAATAL-LAZIINA
--------

QUESTIONS:

1.     Whose Path is the Straight Path--SIRAATAL MUSTAQIIM?
2.     And *WHOSE* Path is *the Path of THOSE--SIRAATAL-LAZIINA*?
3.     Who are *THOSE WHOM* Allah has EXALTED unto Himself
        and joined in His Worship and also asked the Muslims to do likewise?
4.     WHY does Allah Himself guide the Muslims to THEIR PATH and not to
        His?
5.     Was not the Holy Prophet (SAS) guided to this Path as well?

See HQ. 93:6,7; 6:162; 16:120-123. Use only Surah al-Fatihah to answer
these questions. And now this:

Surah 2.
002.027 Those who break the covenant of Allah
after ratifying it, and sever
i.     *MAA--HE WHO/THAT* which --
ii.     ALLAH ORDERED TO BE JOINED
iii     *BIHII--TO HIM*
and make mischief in the earth:
Those are they who are the losers.
---------

QUESTIONS:

So WHAT OR WHO did Allah COMMAND to be JOINED *BIHII--TO
HIM*? Well, the answer is also GIVEN by Allah Himself?
It is *MAA--HE WHO/THAT*.

a.     What is THAT or WHO IS HE?
b.     Was it the Holy Prophet (SAS)?
c.     Or, was it Hzt. Ali (as)?

The answer is right here!!!

Surah 109

109.003
YUSUFALI: Nor will ye worship MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
PICKTHAL: Nor worship ye MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
SHAKIR: Nor do you serve MAA--HIM WHOM *I s-e-r-v-e.*
------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

According to Allah's Revelation, the Holy Qur'an, *MAA is HIM
WHOM* -- the Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SAS)
*W-O-R-S-H-I-P-P-E-D*. As such, the Holy Prophet (SAS) is not the
one meant in HQ. 2:27.

QUESTIONS:
a.     Who or what is *MAA* then?
b.     Is not *MAA* -- ALLAH Himself according to this verse ALONE?
c.     Is this not the same *MAA* mentioned in HQ. 2:27 - *HIM
WHOM/that which* Allah COMMANDED to joined *BIHII--TO HIM*?

109.005
YUSUFALI: Nor will ye worship MAA--THAT which *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
PICKTHAL: Nor will ye worship MAA--WHICH *I w-o-r-s-h-i-p.*
SHAKIR: Nor are you going to serve MAA--HIM WHOM *I s-e-r-v-e.*
---------------

According to Allah's Revelation, the Holy Qur'an, *MAA is HIM
WHOM* - the Holy Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SAS)
*W-O-R-S-H-I-P-P-E-D*. As such, the Holy Prophet (SAS) is not the
one meant in HQ. 2:27.

QUESTIONS:
a.     Who or what is *MAA* then?
b.     Is not *MAA* ALLAH Himself according to this verse ALONE?
c.     Is this not the same *MAA* mentioned in HQ. 2:27 - *HIM
WHOM/that which* Allah COMMANDED to joined *BIHII--TO HIM*?

Moreover, at the end of His prophetic mission the Holy Prophet (SAS)
was commanded to proclaim *Maa--HE Whom--That* -- which had
been revealed unto Him from his Lord!

Now did He reveal the Holy Qur'an all over again to His followers? It
is said that He passed away in less than 3 months thereafter. So, did He
reveal it within that period in accordance with this command? If so,
why did Allah Himself take 23 years to reveal it for Muslims?

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. Allah will protect
thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.
