Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Case Inbetween Two Concerns Chapter Three : the Principle of the Progeny of Muhammad(a.s.) We do not need so much thinking and mediation to conclude that the Quranic principle about this sensitive and dangerous matter in man’s life is neither the first principle nor the second; Quranic verses we have already surveyed are enough evidence to prove this fact. Hence, the principle AL Quran chooses is a third one midway between both.

This third principle is the one chosen by the Progeny(A.S.) who attributed it to the Holy Book later on to be known as (A case inbetween two concerns) i.e. midway between both doctrines. True, it is a third principle inbetween two fanatic conflicting dogmas that have reigned over for a certain era during Islamic history of reason. The progeny of Muhammad (A.S.) are the pioneer advocates to this Quranic principle, being the first to demonstrate it to people.

“Interpretation of the Principle (a case inbetween two concern)” Strange enough, this midway interpretation of AlQuran principle pertaining to man’s needs and behavior, though clear, has remained concealed during the first ages of Islam, hidden from the reasonable debate taking place then among Islamic scholars respectively about AL Quran attitude towards this matter.

And even though the Progeny (A.S.) have been propagating this principle so that it became one of their well know teachings, yet, it remained unknown in the reasonable debate taking place then (during the Abbasi reign and afterwards), which actually stimulates questions. How did the scholars (who do not follow the school of the Progeny(A.S.)), become two parties, each committed to one of these two doctrines, although alQuran frankly and clearly has rejected both?

The reason which diverged the scholars attention from (A case in between two concerns) The reason for that – as it were – was that (Al Mutazilah) by means of emphasizing man’s independence of choice and will meant to get ride of putting the responsibility of the injustice committed by mankind on behalf of Allah the Sublime, deeming Him far above any injustice made by man.
