And whether it is on his knowledge and know-howa He is not able to distinguish a fact from a lie and the clear from the ambiguous, and the extent of ritual prayer and its time. Or is it that he relies on his piety and abstemiousnessa Allah is a witness that he omitted obligatory prayer for forty days with the false notion that by omitting prayer he would be able to acquire the art of deception. And may be this information has reached you also.

The containers of wine are present for him and signs of his sins and disobedience of Allah Almighty are obvious for everyone. Does he intend to prove his claim by a sign and miraclea Then he should put forward his argument and miracle. Does he rely on any argumenta Then he should mention his argument. The Almighty Allah says: “Ha Mim. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.

We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two save with truth and (for) an appointed term; and those who disbelieve turn aside from what they are warned of. Say: Have you considered what you call upon besides Allaha Show me what they have created of the earth, or have they a share in the heavensa Bring me a book before this or traces of knowledge, if you are truthful.

And who is in greater error than he who calls besides Allah upon those that will not answer him till the day of resurrection and they are heedless of their calla And when men are gathered together they shall be their enemies, and shall be deniers of their worshipping (them).” [1] O Ahmad! May Allah give you divine opportunity to test and ask this transgressor about those matters I have explained to you.

And ask him about a verse of Quran so that he may explain its meaning and ask him about an obligatory prayer to explain its extent and its obligatory rituals. At that time you would know his condition and limits, understand his defect and ignorance. May Allah make him accountable. Although the Almighty Allah has not appointed Imamate on any two brothers, except Imams Hasan and Husain (a.s). And in the same way has accorded us permission in some matters.

Truth is manifested and falsehood, destroyed. And I am hopeful of the favors and sufficiency. Allah is sufficient for us and the best of helpers.
