اللَّهُ مَوْلَاكُمْ ...
اللَّهُ مَوْلَاكُمْ , ‘ مَوْلَاهُمُ الْحَقِّ ’ , أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلَاكُمْ , هُوَ مَوْلَانَا . Allah -azwj has Used the Word Moula in the meanings of Master (to be Obeyed as being His -azwj Messengers -as ) His -azwj Angels -as and His -azwj Selected (Divine) Prophet/Imams.
Moula is also used in Holy Quran when denouncing the fake imams and sins leading to Fire as well as those destined to Fire trying to looking for assistance from their associates, without success, from the wrath of Allah -azwj (22:13, 44:41 and 57:15). In summary, Moula either means Master/Guardian (Allah -azwj and His -azwj Divine Authorities -as ) or when Allah denounces the fake imams and sinners who will try to assist each other against the Decree of Allah -azwj .
Introduction: We will try to better understand the meanings of the word ‘Moula’ as Revealed in the Holy Quran in order to eliminate the ambiguity caused by its, linguistic use, as found in the Arabic dictionaries.
There are about 13 Holy Verses which refer to the word ‘Moula’ and its derivative (i.e., singular, plural forms), we will review these Verses in the following paragraphs: أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا (Chapter 2, Verse 286) لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ {286} (Allah Said): “Allah does not Encumber a soul except to its capacity.
For it would be what it earned and against it would be what it earned”. (The Rasool said): ‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us a burden like what You Loaded upon those from before us. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us what we have no strength for us with it; and Pardon (our sins) for us and have Mercy on us. ‘ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا ’ You are our Master , therefore Help us against the Kafir people’.
