Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Replay To Belief of Mahdism in Shia Imamate Supplement Second is; God creates and God annihilates. There is no complesion on the part of God. To obviate the effect or to create a cause is God’s will. Whether we agree or not will not be of any difference. Divine’s performance is not of His Mercy. God’s knowledge is not an obstruction to the flow of events. God knows, and His knowing has no negative effect on the occurrences.

Similarly God knows His creation. His knowledge does not stop man from taking choice, or deprive him of the power to choose. This sense is reflected in the following couplet, which is said in reply to Khyam: “Because Divine knowledge is disobedience; Reason rejects this pordentors ignorance.” 1 This question comes to mind even while the philosophy of ‘DADA’ exists and that is; how was it that news and events of the future were related to the prophets and our Prophet (SAW) as well?

‘Dada’ has no bearing. The unseen, foretold by the prophets or the Imams is due to the knowledge vested in them by the Divine. It is an accusation on the honesty of the prophets or Imams because what they have foretold came true. Their knowledge of the unseen is the knowledge of God given to them. They saw what they forecast to happen. What God has informed or taught the prophets, and authorized them to tell, ‘DADA’ has no province in it.

The prophet (SAW) had informed Ammar that he would be a killed at the hands of tyrants. The Prophet (SAW) had also foretold of Ali Din Abi Taleb’s assasination, the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and the events that would ensue. The Prophet (SAW) had said in advance that Fatima; his daughter would be the first one to meet him after his death. The Prophet (SAW) had given predictions of Mahdi and his appearance. Ali Bin Abi Taleb also predicted some future happenings.

Sunni authorities have all accepted these predictions given by the Prophet (SAW) himself, as well as those given by Ali Bin Taleb. We can not say that they said some thing and something else happened. There are reports and all of them untrue just like one narrated by Abi Hamza. Such fake and false reports abound in History. They can not be trusted because they are told by one person only.

Had it been true others too would have reported it as they could not have remained blind to an event or deaf to a word?
