Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord?

Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord?” (10) Aye, man recognizes the light first before knowing other things and then he comes to know that thing. Then, there will remain no doubt as to the existence of light. On this basis, the knowledge of God runs in the knowledge of everything else. Therefore, the proving of other rights in the universe and their knowledge arises from proving the existence of God which is the main concern and from theology and monotheistic world vision.

The delicate point derived from this matter is that the signs of the same statement of Imam Sajjad are present in other parts of the treatise. After this introduction, the turn comes to proposing legal issues. Imam Sajjad reminds us that the foundation of all rights is the oneness of God. This reminder is manifested in two ways.

Sometimes with the phrase “billah nasta’in.”(11) And sometimes with the phrase of “there is no power saves God.” Having expounded the philosophy of rights, the venerable Imam teaches the rights one by one and some of these rights are superior to others as the philosophy of rights is dominant in all of them. Now we shall refer to four legal cases to show glimpses of what is stated in the fifth and sixth chapters of the book.
