Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Aqaid (کشاف العقاید) [english] Introduction of Wilayat- Adl wa Nabuwat (Justice and Prophet hood) It was the will of Allah to introduce Himself, and He introduced Himself through wilayat. He made it compulsory upon Himself to introduce wilayat to all of His creation. There are two forms of introduction. One is through “asar” (influence, guide). The other is “khabar” (message, news). Asar eWilayat is called “adl”.

Khabar e Wilayat is called “nabuwat”. Because my purpose is to give you those beliefs of Shia, which Aimmah (as) have taught to us, I am avoiding certain issues that, are not relevant to my purpose.

Adl By this point of our book, you should have become aware from the previously mentioned aspects of wilayat that all the aspects of wilayat depend upon adl It has been proven from knowledge, commandment, and order/rule that whatever aspect comes out of wilayat is based upon adl We will discuss it in details, but before doing this we will explain what the term “adl” itself means. Explanation of Adl There are various definitions of adl that have originated from the various experts of knowledge.

The mehfoom (meaning) of their explanations is all the same. Creation and the survival of creation are impossible without adl. The experts of language have explained adl in these words: “to put something in its true place”. If you reflect upon this explanation, you will immediately realize if anything from within the universe is removed from its original place, then it will cause the destruction of the whole universe. Sun, moon, stars, oceans, etc.

survive because they have remained in their places of origin. If one of them is removed from its place even for only a second, then one cannot even imagine what catastrophic effects it would have upon the rest of creation. Forget about other things. Look at your own body. Think about the systems of the human body. Every system in the human body even the smallest of veins are a witness of adl. In present times medical science has reached its culmination.

If you ask the most talented surgeon in the world to put your liver in the place of your heart, he will automatically say it is impossible. No human power can change the system of adl. What has been mentioned, even those with no intellect, cannot deny. Now every mind will be forced to think and should reach this conclusion.
