Rejection of What You Cannot Do We believe that God will...
Rejection of What You Cannot Do We believe that God will never oblige a duty to anyone who cannot do it: "Allah will not charge a soul with a duty that cannot be fulfilled by him." (Holy Qur’an, 2:286) The Philosophy of the Painful Accidents We believe that the painful accidents that sometimes occur, such as the earthquakes, calamities and misfortunes, might be that of God's punishment, as it was with the case of the people of Lot: "When our decree was issued, we turned (their cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones, hard as baked clay, spread layer on layer." (Holy Qur’an, 11:82) And about the ungrateful and rebellious people of Saba, God says: "But they turned away (from their Lord) and we sent against them the flood from the Dams." (Holy Qur’an, 34:16) Some other painful incidents are to admonish people and to teach them lessons: "Mischief has appeared on land and sea by what the hands of man have earned, that Allah may give them a taste of some of their deeds, in order that they may return back from evil.” (Holy Qur’an, 30:41) Other pains are what our hands make it and are due to our ignorance and carelessness: "Whatever good happens to you (o man!) is from Allah: but whatever evil happens to you; is from yourself." (Holy Qur’an, 4:79) The Existence i Ruled By The Best of Orders We believe that the created world, or the world of creation is the scenery on which the bests of orders act.
In other word, the existing order that controls the world is the best one that can possibly exist. Here, everything has an account of its own. There is nothing in contrast to justice and goodness; and if bad is seen, it belongs to people or the creatures. We repeat again that God's justice is one of the most important bases of Islamic insight, without which the tenets such as the monotheism, prophethood and doomsday will be endangered and misunderstood.
We have a tradition that Imam Sadiq(a.s) has emphasized on monotheism and God's justice as the main principles of the religion and then he adds: "Whatever is becoming and fit for you, is not allowable to God.
Justice is that you do not relate something to God, which doing it puts a blame upon you." Visiting the Tombs of The Messengers And Imams (Pilgrimage) We believe that pilgrimages for visiting the tombs of the Messengers and Imams, as well as the scholars and the martyrs, is a definite religious precept which has to be observed, although not a must.
