Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Essays On Ghadir 6- Importance of "ghadir" in Our Islamic Ideology At the very outset we are faced with a stark reality. We are compelled to ask ourselves two questions. What status did Islam want the Muslims to achieve? What status have the Muslims actually achieved? The answer to the first question is comparatively much easy to digest.

Three times does the Holy Quran repeats: "Allah is the One Who has sent His messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to over shine all religions by it, though the polytheists may dislike it." (Quran 9:33, 48:28, 61:9). Also the Holy Quran enunciates: "Surely the land is Allah's; He causes His servants to inherit it as He pleases" (7:128) But the answer to the second question hits the belly - and indeed hits it hard. Today's Muslim does not stand anywhere near victory.

Success reaches every house but somehow manages to escape the thresholds of Muslims. The parable of the Muslim is that of a football, being kicked from one end to another. Some do kick to get material benefits. Majority are the people who seek pure entertainment by being the spectators and at times the cheerleaders. This reality slaps, smack, on our faces. The somberness of this fact burns our hearts.

It persuades us to do the much needed research in order to comprehend the underlying fundamentals to this stark variation - What the Quran explicitly mentions to what we observe in the socio-political transnational personality of the contemporary Muslim. In this research, to pursue the reality, we promise ourselves to uphold and follow the genuine research 'wherever it leads to'. Pursuit for truth without the sincere intent and the firm resolve has no meaning.

Before we venture out in the realm of sincere research and quest for truth we take caution and endeavor to improve our resolve with these words "There are few nudities as objectionable, as the naked truth Agnes Replier. Further we sincerely pray that we take our faith seriously, and not to be included in those who have been mentioned with the words" He wears his faith, but as the fashion of his hat - William Shakespeare.

We take courage in these words "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642). And also "Truth is generally the best vindication against slander - Abraham Lincoln.
