[104] Be informed...

[104] Be informed, the actions of monafiqeen against the Sadiqeen -asws , and the Kufr against Wali-Allah -asws are considered to be serious violations and great sins and this is the reason why Allah -azwj has clearly distinguished in His -azwj book, the just and the unjust, the pure and the impure and the momin and the kafir.

Therefore, the successor of a Prophet -as , after his demise, can never be anyone else but the ‘one’ who is the most truthful, the most just, and the most pure and the most eloquent. The Divine ‘Amanat’ (Trust) which Allah -azwj has mentioned in the Book (entrusting Divine Position), this ‘Amanat’ is not permissible and appropriate for anyone else to posses but for the Prophets -as and their successors -as .

As Allah -azwj has made them -asws custodian of His -azwj Commands for the masses and has established His ‘Hujjat’ (Proofs) on the earth through them -asws . See, (from history) ‘Samiry’ and his supporters among the kafrs, they all got together while Prophet Moses -as was away and helped them to create and worship a calf, until they filled the house of Moses -asws with food offerings.

This happened as no one else is worthy of securing the ‘Amanat’ of a Prophet -as except the ones who are created specifically for this purpose, without any stains of filth. Thus, he tried to bear the Divine responsibility and positioned himself in the group of cruel and to side with those who were his helpers. Rasool Allah -saww has said: Whoever starts an innovation, those who would adopt it, continue to collect its (dreadful) consequences until the final day of judgement.

This statement of Prophet -saww is also endorsed by Quran, while narrating the story of Kabeel who killed his brother, Allah -azwj Says: For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever killed a human, being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.

[105] Here the word أَحْيَا refers to its hidden meanings and not to its superficial ones where it emphasises on the guidance. Over here, guiding someone is like giving him the eternal life (in the hereafter).
