The Saints Hidden Authority as Viewed in the Qur'an Below...

The Saints Hidden Authority as Viewed in the Qur'an Below are some of the unambiguous statements of Islam's divine Book, the Quran, mentioning a group of the upright slaves of God who, upon His permission, had this great power. a) Prophet Moses Hidden Power The Almighty God ordered his Prophet, Moses, to strike a rock with his staff in order for springs to gush forth: And when Moses requested drink for his people, We said: Strike the rock with your staff. So there gushed from it twelve springs.

1:60 b) Jesus Christs Hidden Authority Jesus Christs hidden authority has been referred to in several chapters of the Quran, one of which is as follows: I shall create for you something out of dust in the shape of a bird, then I breathe into it and it will become a bird with Allahs permission, and I shall heal the blind and the leprous and bring the dead to life with Allahs permission. 3:49 c) Prophet Solomons Hidden Power The Quran says, And Sulayman was Dawuds heir, and he said: O men!

We have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given of everything; most surely, this is a manifest grace. 27:16 Such things as making water gush forth from the rock that Moses had touched with his staff, creating a real bird out of the dust, healing the incurable ailments, restoring the dead to life, which Jesus Christ had performed, and Solomons ability to understand the language of the birds are doubtlessly all extraordinary affairs and a kind of exercising the hidden power.

Can our belief in such manifest Quranic verses be considered as polytheism when the Glorious Quran itself has discussed the saints hidden authority in the above verses and in many others ? This discussion clearly shows that the belief in the hidden authority of the righteous servants of God does not imply that they are being considered as God or as those to whom Godly affairs are attributed.

If such a belief were taken concomitant with considering these saints as divinities, then Moses, Jesus Christ, and Solomon are deities in The Qurans view, whereas all Muslims know that the holy Quran considers the saints as Gods upright servants.

It is thus proved that the belief in the hidden authority of those who are honored with God does not bring about dualism as long as this power is considered subordinate to Gods, and as long as the saints are believed to be the intermediates for the manifestation of Gods rule.
