And his (s.

And his (s.a.w.a.) saying: “Ali is with the truth and truth is with Ali and it will not separate from him.” And despite the presence of his (s.a.w.a.) pure progeny (Ahlebait a.s.) amongst them regarding whose relationship with the Quran the Messenger of Islam (s.a.w.a.) remarked: “Surely these two will not part from each other till they meet me at the Hauz-e-Kausar (on the day of Judgement).” In the second era, which commenced with the Umayyad dynasty and ended with the reign of Abbasides particularly Ma’moon al-Rasheed, the politics of the governance aimed at opposing the Islamic laws was the order of the day.

The proponents of these policies, intending to weaken the Muslims in governance, control, wealth, etc. introduced Greek Philosophy whose atheistic views and basics were in total contrast with the teachings of the Messenger of Islam (s.a.w.a.) and the guidance of the prophets (a.s.) concerning the recognition of Allah, His excellent names, His perfect attributes and His prudent actions.

Notwithstanding the fact that some of those who were involved in these heresies insisted that there existed complete consonance between the two schools of thought (that of the prophets (a.s.) and philosophy). The school of the prophets (a.s.) and their call for monotheism as explained by the Holy Quran in the most eloquent manner and complete style and on whose strong principles there is total agreement, one cannot find any difference of opinion even on one single issue.

While the school of the philosophers who have numerous differences in their basics and principles could neither compile a basic set of laws unanimously, nor present before mankind a specific path based on theory as well as practice which could guide it to prosperity. Indeed the philosophers differed in their views on creation and resurrection to such an extent that you cannot find two amongst them agreeing completely on any one principle.

Each one of them has his own way that he treads and a path that he traverses. Except those amongst them who fastened to the rope of revelation of prophets (a.s.) and relied on their guidance and followed the directions of the infallible Imams (a.s.) were not deceived by the views of the philosophers and did not deliberate on issues prohibited by the Islamic canon.
