(6:35) وَلَوْلَا أَنْ ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ...

(6:35) وَلَوْلَا أَنْ ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا(74) إِذًا لَأَذَقْنَاكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيَاةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا (17: 75) Allah -azwj Says: If We did not keep to firm, your (followers) were about to slightly become fond of them. In this case we would have given twice the punishment in this world as well as in the hereafter. And they would not have found any helper. (17:74-75).

وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُ [45] (33:37) You were hiding that in your heart which Allah was about to disclose to others but you were afraid of them but instead one should be fearful to Allah. And Allah -azwj Says: ……وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ …. [46] (46:9) I do not know what will be done with me or with you. And Allah -azwj Says: …..

مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ [47] 6:38)) There is not a single entity which is not included in the Book. And Allah -azwj Says: …… وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ [48] 36:12)) And all entities have been under the control of ‘Imam-e-Mobeen’. Thus, if every thing is under the control of ‘Imam-e-Mobeen’ who is Prophet -saww ’s successor.

If Prophet -saww ’s status is the most elevated and high then how it is possible that Prophet -saww does not know, with all these Divine qualities, what would happen to him as well as to others. These are contradictory and ambiguous issues. Thus, if Prophet -saww and the Book are ‘Just’ then I am destroyed due to my suspicion. However, if they are ‘Unjust’ then I am not affected at all.

Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Indeed, the Lord of the Spirit and the Angels is the most Praise-worthy and the most Dignified, and is the Lord of ‘Quds’ [49] , the most Respectable and has the eternal status. Allah -azwj Knows all about each and every species and similarly Knows that I have never ever doubted Him -azwj . Non-believer: What you have said, is more than sufficient for me. Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : I would like to give an explanation to your questions.

One cannot do any good except after getting inspiration from Allah -azwj . I fully rely (Tuwakkil) on Him -azwj , seek His -azwj blessings and all those who seek nobility turn towards Him -azwj . Allah -azwj Says: Allah Takes back life at the time of their death. [50] And Says: The angel of Death takes life away from you, [51] and our Prophets -as take life away.
