In the ‘taqleed’ books of Mujtahids, taqleed is offered on the Usool-e-Deen (Principles of religion: Salat, Zikaat….) but by declaring those as Faroo-e-Deen (brances of religion) while eliminating the most important and the soul of the principles: al-Wilayah!

A purely man-made system replacing a Divine system, where a Muqallid (follower of a Mujtahid) does not know the source of a fatwa and the Mujtahid is never ever sure of his judgement (as he writes ‘Wallallah ho Alim bil sawab’ [30] , hence, the consequences of ‘a blind following a blind’!

The Islam and the Eman: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ شَرِيكِ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ الْإِسْلَامُ يُحْقَنُ بِهِ الدَّمُ وَ تُؤَدَّى بِهِ الْأَمَانَةُ وَ تُسْتَحَلُّ بِهِ الْفُرُوجُ وَ الثَّوَابُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ Ali ibn Ibrahim ahs narrated from his father form ibn abu Umayr from al-Hakam ibn Ayman, from al-Qasim al-Sayrafi associate of al-Mufaddal who has said the following: ‘I heard Abu Abd Allah -asws saying, ‘Islam is to spare lives, protect the trust and make the marriage lawful, but reward comes from the ‘Eman’ [31] .

[32] The rewards Come from Eman: In several Ahadith of Masomeen -asws [33] , Eman is defined as an integral and total entity in order to receive ‘Rewards’ from Allah -azwj after recognising principles of Islam by the heart, expressing by the tongue and enacting by the body parts. So there are neither branches nor main body (Froo and Usool, as defined in the man-made system of Ijtihad) but rewards are for someone’s total commitment involving soul, tongue and the body limbs.
