ভূমিকা

Second: Demand and order of His Eminence implies that it is incumbent to follow it except that there be any evidence against it. Third: It is that the Holy Prophet (S) has the right of prophethood on this Ummah, thus it is obligatory on the people to fulfill the right of His Eminence as much as possible. Fourth: It is that Allah, the Mighty and the High has specified the recompense of prophethood of the Holy Prophet (S) to be love for the family and kinsfolk of His Eminence.

Fifth: The meaning of ‘family and kinsfolk’ is progeny of the Holy Prophet (S) and rejection of the contention of Ahle Sunnat. Sixth: Meaning of love and its types. First Introduction You should know that demand is the origin of action from the high to one who can understand – as researchers have understood – be it by the word of ‘I order’ or by the word ‘do’. It can also be through a question etc. It can also be without using any words; that is by gesture or in writing.

The evidence of what is stated is that the first meanings that comes to the mind is are those mentioned above. You do not see if the demand is made by a great personality, in any word it will be said: so-and-so has ordered such a thing. And if a sensible person says: I order you to do that, the intellectuals would consider it silly because order is restricted to the high, just as Dua and asking is from the high, request and plea is from the equal only.

And investigation in the use of these words would make everything clear. And as for that which the Almighty Allah said in the anecdote of Firon: “What counsel do you then give?” Inspite that he was superior to them it is referred to as an order?
