What, even if their fathers had knowledge of nought and were not (rightly guided?) (5) And certainly, We have created for hell many of the jinn and the men; (because) they have minds (lit. “hearts”) (but) with which they do not understand, and they have eyes (but) with which they do not see, and they have ears (but) with which they do not hear; they are as cattle, nay, they are worst; they are heedless ones.

(6) The last verse clearly shows that those who follow others blindly in matters of belief (and do not use their own power of perception) are worst, in the view of Allah than even the animals. Imamate is also a part of the matters of belief ( uṣulu’d-din ) and so, even in this matter, the Shi‘ahs have to follow the same method of believing only after achieving certainty and conviction about the truth of the Imams.

It is absolutely necessary for the Shi‘ahs of our time to seek knowledge of our Present Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi (upon whom be peace) so that their faith may rest on strong foundations; not on shaky foundations of blind following. It is this faith, springing from knowledge, which can create love in the hearts of the faithful. To be continued! NOTES: _____________________________________ 1. The Quran 2:165 2. The Quran 3:31 3.
