Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tawheedal-mufadhdhal The First Meeting Al-Mufadhdhal said, I left him so happy and delighted. That night felt so long while I waited for that which he had promised me. In the morning, I went to him. After being permitted, I went in and stood before him. He asked me to have a seat, and I did. Then he went up to a room to where he would often retire in solitude. I got up too. He asked me to follow him. He entered the room, and I entered after him.
He sat down, and I sat before him. He said, O Mufadhdhal! I feel as if you have had a lengthy night because of your anxiety for what I had promised you. I affirmed his remark respectfully. He said, O Mufadhdhal! Allah has existed before there was any thing and He will exist with no end. Praise be to Him for what He has inspired to us and thanks be to Him for what He has granted to us.
He has singled us out with the best of knowledge and the highest of honors and has preferred us to all of His creatures by giving us from His knowledge and has made us guardians over them by His authority. I said, O my master, would you permit me to write what you say? He said, O Mufadhdhal, yes. Imam as-Sadiq (a.s) said, O Mufadhdhal!
The waverers failed to grasp the causes and meanings of the creation and their minds were unable to see the right and wisdom in what Allah has created of different kinds of His creatures in the sea and on the land, in the plains and on the mountains.
Because of the deficiency of their knowledge, they disbelieved and because of the weakness of their sights, they denied and resisted until they denied the creation of things and claimed that things had come to existence by accident and chance with no will, ordinance or wisdom from a maker or manager. Allah is far above what they attribute to Him. May they perish! How misguided they are!
In their misguided blindness and bewilderment they are like blind persons groping right and left in a well‑furnished, well‑built house with fine carpets, luscious articles of food, drink, various kinds of clothing and other necessities of essential use all adequately supplied in proper quantity and placed with perfect decorum and ingenious design. In their blindness they fail to see the building and its furnishings, they move about aimlessly from one room to another, advancing and retreating.
