However...

However, I would not like to dwell further in details of these efforts but leave my reply to the judgement of followers of Ahlul Baita.s. to reflect on both views. Please note, I have used the English translation of Quran Shareef from T.B.Irving (Al-Hajj Talim Ali), Published in Tehran, 1998. \n Aiat No.1 \n It\u2019s a famous Aiat from Surat-al- Ambia, Chapter 21, Verse 7, \nBefore you We have sent only men whom We inspired. Ask people with (long) memories if you do not know it already.

\nThe Arabic of people with long memories is \u2018Ahhel-e-Zakir\u2019, there are numerous traditions in Kafi, Tafseer Aiashi and Tafseer Qummi, from Ayiamah Masomeen a.s. in which it has been explained that \u2018Zakir\u2019 is referred to Rasool Allahs.a.w. , and \u2018Ahhel-e-Zakir\u2019 means the Ayiamah Masomeen a.s. and Muslims have the obligation to turn to Ahlul-Baita.s. for those matter which they do not know. In addition, it is narrated by Imam Razaa.s.

in \u2018Aoun Alakbar AlRaza\u2019, that Allahs.w.t has sent \u2018Zakir\u2019 means Rasoola.s. (who was sent to you for the recitation of verses of Allahs.w.t), thus \u2018Zakir\u2019 is Rasool Allahs.a.w. and we are \u2018Ahhel\u2019 . In Kafi, Imam Mohammed Baqir Allaha.s.

pointed his divine hand to his sacred chest and said we are the \u2018Ahhel-e-Zakir\u2019 and every single thing can be asked from us, while replying to a question on \u2018Ahhel-e-Zakir\u2019 \n Aiat No.2, \n God testifies there is no deity except Himself, and so do the angles and persons possessing knowledge. Maintaining fairplay, there is no deity except Him, the Powerful, the Wise \nIn Tafseer Aishi and Tafseer Safi, page 80, it is narrated from Imam Mohemmad Baqir a.s.

that \u2018Aulul Ailm\u2019 is referred to Prophets and their successors and they are firm on justice (\u2018Qiam bil Qiast\u2019) . \n Aiat No.3, \n Those who have been given knowledge see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth, and guides (us) along the Road to the Powerful, the Praiseworthy.

\nTafseer-e-Safi, page 412 cites from Tafseer-e-Qummi that this Aiat is in praise of Amir-ul-Momaneena.s and the word \u2018Haq\u2019 is referred to Amir-ul- Momaneena.s \n Aiat No.4, \n You who believe, whenever someone tells you to make room at (any) sessions, then make room; God will make room for you (elsewhere). When it is said: \u2018Move on ahead!\u2019 then move on up.
