Islamic Clemency and Mercy in the Practices of & Imam Ali - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Islamic Clemency and Mercy in the Practices of & Imam Ali 2021-06-22 409 Views Imam Ali,, Islamic Clemency, Mercy The practical manner, social behaviour and associations of religious authorities and Islamic leaders and Imams are full of mercy, clemency and benevolence with their followers and with adversaries. Here are two examples: Contents Prophet’s (S) Clemency after the Conquest of Mecca ‘Imam Ali (as) and Recommendations for his Slayer Prophet’s (S) Clemency after the Conquest of Mecca The attitude of (S) after the conquest of Mecca is a sample of this practical manner. We narrate in brief his attitude and then compare it with that of Western civilization with their enemies after World War II. (S) was annoyed in Mecca thirteen years before his Hijra (immigration) to Medina because Mecca reminded him of the numerous pains, tragedies, baseness, troubles and afflictions his most obstinate enemies were in Mecca. However, when Islam conquered Mecca, and Prophet (S) overcame those obstinate and stubborn enemies who caused all those calamities and problems, he pardoned all and extended Islamic mercy and absolution to all addressing them: اذهبوا انتم الطلقاء “You are free to go wherever you will!” Even when he was informed that one of the Islam soldiers with a flag of Islam in his hand is chanting for revenge, he was provoked, and took the flag from the soldier, and chanted for peace and amity instead of revenge: الیوم یوم الرحمه “Today is the day of clemency and benevolence!” On the other hand, when the Allied soldiers entered the capital of Germany (Berlin), they massacred the inhabitants and committed numerous crimes. For instance, they threw up an infant and fired him before falling into the ground. Now, a generation of the same heartless felons commits a new crime every day. A pen is ashamed to write these crimes and sometimes a man could not tolerate seeing or hearing them. Are we the people of violence or are these uncivilized wrongly claiming civilization? ‘Imam Ali (as) and Recommendations for his Slayer Another sample is the attitude of Hazrat ‘Ali (as) toward his killer, Abdur-Rahman Ibn Muljam Moradi. Following the religious instructions, he was so kind and merciful that even his enemy who attempted to kill him was not deprived and excluded from his mercy. Recommendations by the kind Imam for his killer start from arresting him and continue till Imam’s death: “My children! My slayer is just Ibn Muljam. Beware! Do not let the self-seekers and opportunists to unsheathe their swords and kill innocent people with the excuse of cooperation with ‘Ali’s slayer for their own personal interests! My dears! Give my slayer the same food you prepare for me! My darlings! If I survive, I know what to do with him. If I die, you are authorized to retaliate, but as he struck me once with a sword, you shall not exceed more than one! O Children of Prophet! Do not mutilate him after death!” These are ‘Ali’s (as) recommendations about his slayer when he was dying. Do you know any authority of any country throughout the world and during history to express such recommendations in favour of his slayer? Is Islam whose Prophet’s successor so kind and merciful, the religion of violence? Cancel. * Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I.
