Be not unduly immoderate in your religion...

Be not unduly immoderate in your religion, and don’t follow the low desires of people who went a stray before and led many astray and went astray from the right path’. Imam Ali (A.S) says (two kinds of men are perished of me, an excessive adorer and a resentful detester).

Imam Sadiq (A.S) said: we are no more than Allah’s slaves, who created us and chose us I swear by Allah that we have no plea before Him, we have no indulgence, certainly we are dead and held responsible, that he who loves “ghulaat” has hated us, he who hated them has loved us, “ghulaat” are infidels “mufaweeza” are polytheists, Allah may curse “ghulaat” they be christians, would they be “khuderiea” would they be “Murje’ea” or “Herooreia”.([^1]) They consider “ghulaat” as soiled persons don’t perform the ritual ablution “khusul” for their dead, don’t bury their dead “Zakaat” can not be paid to them, don’t give a moslem woman in marriage to them, don’t inherit moslim but moslem inherts them, all these rules are agreed on by Imamieh jurisprudent([^2]).

Sheikh Almufeed says in his book “sherhil akaeid elSadooq” (interpretation of Alsadook’s beliefs): “Alghulaat” are of those who pretended to be moslem, are those who attributed Amirel mou’amineen Ali Ibne Abitalib and the Imams from his progeny to godhood and prophethood, they attributed so much of superiority in religion and present life to them in which they exceeded all limits and deviated from moderatoin so they i.e “Alghulaat” are aberrant and infidel persons.([^3]) These texts we have presented as examples indicate clearly Imameiahs view concerning excessireness and excessiveists, I don’t think that those who accuse shi’ites with excessiveness haven’t been acquainted with them but malice prevailed in their hearts, we depend on Allah to endure what they practise.

Here we take a short stop in the course of sunnit thought to see whether an excessiveness there is or not, I state for you some of these examples: 1- Alladin Dedeh stated in his book “Muuhazaratel awaeilwa musamar awakhir”, he said: an Earthquake took place in Almedeeneh Aumer hit land with his stick saying: be steady. There upon the earth rested and earth quake finished.
