Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-Nass Wal-Ijtihad, Text and Interpretation Preface In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Praise be to Allah, Who has distinguished His slave and Messenger Muhammad with the high dignity and high position near Him, has taught him the knowledge of the first and the last and has given him virtues that He has never given to any other one in the worlds.

(Allah best knows where He places His mission; Qur’an 6:124) so He has ended with Muhammad prophethood and revelation and has annulled with his Shari’ah all the previous sacred Shari’ah s concerning the actions of people. [^1] What has been permitted by Muhammad (S) is permissible until the Day of Resurrection and what has been prohibited by him is impermissible until the Day of Resurrection. All his verdicts are valid until the Day of Resurrection.

This has been agreed upon unanimously by all the Muslims like their consensus on his prophethood. None of them has ever said a word opposite to this. They have known that the Islamic Shari’ah has encompassed the worldly life and afterlife with all their systems and laws. It (the Islamic Shari’ah ) is wise in all its verdicts and just in all its criteria.

It is the wise civilization, which is kind and good to the people of the earth in everywhere and every age with all their different races, colors and languages. The Legislator of Islam (the Aware of the unseen, the Almighty) has not left any aim unless He has declared its way and showed to the men of understanding its guide. Far be it from Him to leave His people to their own opinions or to let them rove in His religion vigorously.

He has bound them via His messenger (S) with His two “ropes” and preserved them with His two “weighty things”. [^2] His Messenger has promised them of guidance if they would keep to them “the two weighty things” and warned them of deviation if they would turn away from them. He has told them that these two weighty things would never separate nor would the earth be empty of them until they would come to him at the pond (in Paradise).

Whoever turns his back to them, the Prophet (S) will turn his back to him. Their (the Prophet’s progeny’s) example in this Ummah is like the gate of Hitta “repentance” of the Israelites and like the Ark of Prophet Noah (S) for his people.
