Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Case Inbetween Two Concerns “al Quran Denies Authorization and Man’s Independence” ========================================================= The way Al Quran rejects inevitability in man’s social and individual behaviour, it also absolutely denies man’s independent behaviour off Allah’s reign, being completely authorized from Allah the Sublime in his affairs and movement (the way AlMufawidah – a sect of Al Mutazilah – claim).

We survey hereafter nine categories of verses taken from the Book of Allah that openly deny the principle of man’s independence and authorization to act. First Category: Verses that affirm man’s continuous need to Allah the Sublime: [O men! You are all in need of Allah and Allah is the praiseworthy Independent.] Fater v. 15. Second category: Verses that confirm Allah the Sublime’s absolute reign over man with no restriction or exception.

The Sublime Says: [And had Allah willed, He would have taken a way by thunder and lightning their faculties of hearing and seeing, truly Allah is powerful over all things] Al Baquarah 20. [And if Allah should let you (O, Man!) be touched by any harm none can remove that affliction but Allah and if Allah should let any good happens to you, (Nothing can deprive you from it), verily Allah is powerful over all (things)] Al Anam v. 17.

[When Allah opens the gate of His grace to a nation, no one can close it, and the gate of His grace that He closes against a nation, none can open besides Him; and He is the supreme power Sovereign]. revised by translator. Surrah Fater v. 2. [Say (O, messenger!) I have no power to harm or benefit myself, save what Allah wills.] Yunus v. 49. [If We will, we can remove their eyes] Yasin v. 66. [And if We will We can nail them in their places] Yasin v. 67.

Third category: Verses demonstrating that faith may only be attained or achieved in people’s life by Allah’s permission and will. [And it is not possible for any (disbelieving) person to believe except by Allah’s will] Yunus. V. 100.

Fourth category: Verses that condition harm to Allah’s permission, including what the devils had taught people of the magic that angel Harut and angel Marut learned in Babylon, a magic which the wicked used to employ to divorce a man from his wife, furthermore to inflict harm on people. Al Quran states that they would not have been able to inflict harm by means of that magic on anybody except by Allah’s leave.
