Yusuf Estes - AUB - My Journey

[@FREEDOMIST617]

I found Islam while searching for the truth also......I got sick of the inconsistencies in my catholic religion. Especially the idol worship....my life has been much brighter and positive since I allowed Allah into my life. My soul was filled with strength and hope once again. No more darkness. Thank you Allah!

[@chrissytina6379]

Hi there not trying to be combative at all but that's incorrect quoting. The bible does not say that it says his one and only begotten son Yashua Hamashiach. Father also tells us not to add or take away from Scripture.

[@SaleemRaza1]

@@chrissytina6379 I quoted Bible verse but I filtered it through Quran. Quran name is Furqan and Furqan tells what is right and what is wrong. God does not need a son, all are His servants and creatures. That's why, all worship God.

No brother, I meant the word 'saint' is misleading. It means something against our creed as muslims. Saint means: "a holy person. Saints are people who are believed to have exceptional holiness. In Christian usage, saint refers to any believer who is "in Christ", and in whom Christ dwells" (Wiki) We can use the words teacher, preacher, sheikh and even pious man for example to refer to righteous people. These are all statuses inshaAllah we can all attain through correct faith and good deeds.

Salah brother, Sheikh yusuf is a very hard worker for the cause of spreading islam indeed. But in islam, there is no concept of saints. We are all equal in the sight of Allah inshaAllah. We compete in attaining piety. I understand what you were trying to say but I am afraid the word saint would be understood in a wrong fashion to mean someone who has been chosen by Allah to have a special connection with Him. And Praise is due to Allah that there is no such thing in islam as it would be unfair.

I am sorry, being Muslim i did make mistake as quoting him a saint. Yes every Muslim is a saint if he had special connection with Allah. Saint I was quoting in the sense that he was spreading Islam like Muslim saints in subcontinent India but perhaps again you would not agree to that reference.

Shias believe in Quran, the Prophet Muhammad(sw) and follow the Ahlul Bayat for sunnah of our Prophet- the truthful personalities whocame along with the Prophet to give witness in Mobahila and Allah declared subject incidence as account of truth (Surah Aal-Imran Verse-62). Mobahilah was the contest of truth (sadaqat-صداقت) and Prophet took only those personalities who were considered highly truthful ]sadeeq ((صدیق superlative degree of sadiqصادق) )] in this contest of truth. When the purification clause "Verily Allah intends to keep off from you uncleanness, O you Ahlul Bayt and keep you pure at the apex of purity" (انَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُذۡهِبَ عَنڪُمُ ٱلرِّجۡسَ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ تَطۡهِيرََ )" of verse 33 of Surah Ahzaab was revealed Lady Fatima (SA), Hazrat Ali, Imam Hassan and Hussain (AS ) were under the mental with Prophet Muhammad (SW). As such, Allah has guranteed the purity of subject personalities and SHIAS follow them. Additionally, the Prophet said that my Ahlul-Bayt are like the boat of Hazrat Nuh (AS), who so ever came on board would gain salvation and one who remains astray will drown and perish. He also said, “I am leaving two weighty things: Quran and my itrat-Ahlul Bayt, they will remain enjoined till they meet me at the pool of Kawthar on the Day of Judgment. One who remains associated with them surely will not go astray and one who remains away will perish”. Moreover, He said, Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain (Sihah-e- Sitta).

[@ahmadrashid970]

Aida Rashid: How can Trinity be explained by Christians fully when Jesus (peace be upon him) has never explained it to his disciples...or anyone else in the New Testament? Never read where he explained his incarnate nature and the reason he exists in this way to anyone or any group in the New Testament. And if there was anytime when he could have explained it, I would think it would be during his discussion with the scribe in Mark 12:29.

INHERITORS OF QURAN IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN Quran is inheritance and its inheritors are the mustafa (chosen) people (Surah Faatir Verse-32). The inheritor is always superior to his /her inheritance. If the inheritor falls sick he/she spends his/her inheritance (wealth, property) to gain the lost health. In the same context if Quran encompasses roots of all knowledge (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-61) the inheritors of Quran are city and gate of knowledge and those firmly grounded in knowledge (rasikhuna fil ilm). The true interpretation of Quran is known to Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-7). ". . . If you don’t know then ask Ahlul dhikr (Surah an-Nahl Verse-43). Quran is reminder (dhikr) (Surah al-Hijr Verse-9) and its inheritors are Ahlul dhikr. " If there was a Quran with which mountains could be moved, or the earth was travelled over with it, or the dead were made to speak then it is this Quran . . ." (Surah ar-Ra’ ad Verse-31). In reality Quran is in the breast of Outo al-Ilm (those endowed with the divine knowledge) (Surah al-Ankaboot Verse-49). Hence Outo al-Ilm have the Quranic power. Allah shall exalt status of Outo al-Ilm (Surah al-Mujaadila Verse-11). Quran is light manifest (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-174) and its inheritors embody the divine guiding light. Quran is mahayman: trustworthy, dominant, guardian, protector (Surah al-Maaida Verse-48), and its inheritors are trustworthy, dominant, guardians, protectors and Vicegerents of Allah. Quran has no crookedness (Surah az-Zumar Verse-28), and its inheritors are faultless. Quran is incorruptible even iota of falsehood can’t come near it (Surah Fusillat Verse-42) and its inheritors are also infallible (masoom). Quran is insight, evidence, intelligence and thought provoking (Surah al-A’ araaf Verse-52) and its inheritors are bestowed with the divine intelligence. It is guidance, glad tidings and mercy for the Muslims (Surah an-Nahl Verse-89) and the inheritor is guide and mercy for the whole universe. It is embedded in wisdom (Surah Yaseen Verse-2) and its inheritors are apex of wisdom. Quran is truth (haq): nothing but the truth (Surah Fatir Verse-31) and the inheritors are the truthful personalities, because when the issue (fatherhood) of Hazrat Eysa (ES) could not be resolved with the Christians of Najran and Allah commanded Muhammad (SW) to say, ". . . let us bring our sons and you bring your sons, we bring our women and you bring your women and we bring our men (Nafoos) you bring your men and then we pray that Allah’s curse be on the liars" (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-61). The Prophet took in this contest of truth (mubahylah) only the truthful personalities: Imam Hassan and Hussain (ES), Lady Fatima (SE) and Mawla Ali (ES), when He had 9 wives and His son Ibrahim was alive. Seeing them the Christians’ chief priest Abdul Masih abstained from the contest and agreed to pay nominal tax (jizya). Allah declared subject incident as the account of truth i.e. haq (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-62). Quran is great (Surah al-Hijar Verse-87) and the inheritor sign of great news {Ali (ES) vicegerency declaration at Ghadir}. Quran is Mobeen: crystal clear (Surah Yaseen Verse-69) and its inheritor is Imam-e-Mobeen (Surah Yaseen Verse-12). It is unique and unmatchable and the joint efforts of all humans and Jinns can’t produce a Surah of its kind (Surah Yunus Verse-38) and its inheritors are matchless. It is Majeed: the apex of glory (Surah Qaaf Verse-1) and its inheritors surpass all grandeur. Quran is Tibyan: it instills conviction (Surah an-Nahl Verse -89) and its inheritors subdued falsehood with conviction. It is Furqaan: distinguishes the truth from evil (Surah al-Furqaan Verse-1) and its inheritors always distinguished truth from falsehood. After the tragedy of Karbala, recitation of Quran on the tip of the spear by the head of Imam Hussain (ES) is a glaring proof of this fact. It is Kareem: bounteous and honored (Surah al-Waaqia Verse-77) and its inheritors are bestowed with the divine honor. It is Shafa: quenches the thrust, fulfills the desires (Surah Fussilat Verse-44) and its inheritors are urge quenchers (Malik-e-Shafa). It is difficult to understand the deep meanings of Quran (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-7) and its inheritors are divine helpers. It is absolutely pure and non can reach the depths of the meaning of Quran except the purified ones (Surah al-Waaqia Verse-79). Ahlul Bayt surpass everybody in subject category, because Mawla Ali (ES), Lady Fatima (SA) and Imam Hassan and Hussain (ES) were under the mental with Prophet Muhammad (SW) when this verse was revealed: ". . . Verily Allah intends to keep-off from you uncleanness, O you Ahlul Bayt and to keep you at the apex of purity." (Surah al-Ahzaab-33). "Allah has deposited knowledge of everything in Imam-e-Mobeen." (Surah Yaseen Verse-12) and Prophet said, "Ali is the Imam-e-Mobeen, the manifesting Imam." "Only your Vali (master, guardian, protector) is Allah, His Messenger and those who are true believers (momineen), keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow" (Surah al-Maaida Verse-55). Though, subject Verse was revealed when Ali (ES) gave his ring to a beggar while bowing down during prayers; however, Allah refers to a group of momineen associated with Mawla Ali (ES) in which the wilayah continued and who are also Vali in the same sense as Allah and the Messenger. "And whoso taketh Allah, His messenger and those true believers (momineen) for guardian will join the party of Allah, they are the victorious" (Surah al-Maaida Verse-56). "Why do you make Iblees and his progeny as your Vali, I never made them witness on the creation of universe nor on their own creation, nor could I take those who lead (others) astray for aiders" (Surah al-Kahf Verse-50, 51). As such, Allah’s Vali will be the one who was a witness on the creation of this universe! Quran is Amr (Surah at-Talaq Verse-5) and its inheritors are Ul`ìl Amr. " O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger and the Ul`ìl Amr . . ." (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-59). Ul`ìl Amrare are those nominated by the Prophet all from the tribe of Quraish and told their names to Jabir bin Abdullah (RE): Ali s/o Abu Talib, Hassan s/o Ali, Hussain s/o Ali, Ali s/o Hussain, Muhammad s/o Ali, Jaffer s/o Muhammad, Mussa s/o Jaffer, Ali s/o Mussa, Muhammad s/o Ali, Ali s/o Muhammad, Hassan s/o Ali and Muhammad al-Mehdi s/o Hassan and instructed him to covey His Slaam to the 5th Vicegerent Imam Muhammad Baqar (ES) which he conveyed. Quran has no contradiction in its contents (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-82) and there is no difference of opinion on Islamic religious matters among these 12 Imams which is a glaring proof of their divine vicegerency. Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) when he was already a Prophet was given the rank of Imamat for all mankind after he passed the great test and Allah made a covenant that the rank of Imamat will continue till eternity in the lineage of Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) and that Imamat will not be given to those who are unjust i.e. Zalim (Surah al-Baqara Verse-124). Therefore, an Imam has to be free from all sins of lesser or higher degrees i.e. infallible (masoom), because Iblees has no control over him (Surah Saad Verse-83). Whom We make Imam they guide from Our instructions, are steadfast and believe firmly in Our revelations since their creation (Surah as-Sajda Verse-24). "Remember (on the day of resurrecion), we shall call all human beings with their repective Imams . . ." (Surah al-Isra Verse-71). Therefore, so long a person exists in this world the presence of an Imam is essential! On the night of Power the angles descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all the decrees (Surah al-Qadar Verse-4), which is an evidence of presence of a Competent Authority (Sahib-e-Amr) to whom the decrees are handed over. "Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! On that day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soul that didn’t believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say: Wait ye; We too are waiting" (Surah al-Anaam Verse-158). In this context Prophet said, "When my 12th Vicegerent (Khalifa) will show up, Khazir and Ilyas from this world and Idrees and Eysa (ES) from the heavens will come to testify the Imamat of Muhammad al-Mehdi and Eysa (inheritor of Bible) will pray behind him (inheritor of Quran)" (Sihah Sitta). Allah bestows peace (slaam ) on the chosen (mustafa) people (Surah an-Namal Verse-59) implying those in subject category are honored with the suffix title of Elayh Slaam (peace on him). As such, in Prophet Mosque (Masjid-e-Nabwi) the names of 12 referred Imams are written with the suffix title of سلام علیہ. Moreover, the Prophet said, "I am leaving two weighty things Quran and my itrat (Ahlul Bayt), they will remain enjoined till they meet me at the pool of Kawthar on the Day of Judgment. One who remains associated with them surely will not go astray and one who remains away will perish" (Sihah Sitta). "O you who believe, be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with the Truthful" (Surah at-Tawba Verse-119).

DEEN OF ISLAM IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN Deen means constitution and law. If there is a Deen before Allah it is Islam (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-19). Islam means to accept the constitution and follow laws ordained by Allah. Deen of Islam is from Allah (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-83). It is deen-e-hanif (حنیف) (Surah al-Bayyina Verse-5), that is straight deen. It is deen-e-quyyam (قَيِّمُ) (Surah ar-Rūm Verse-30), that is established standard deen. It is deen-e-wasib (واصب) (Surah an-Nahal Verse-52), that is everlasting deen. It is deen-e-haq (حق) (Surah at-Tawba Verse-33), that is true deen. It is natural deen (فطرت) (Surah ar-Rūm Verse-30), that is casted in Allah’s made mould. It is chosen deen (مصطفے) (Surah al-Baqara Verse-132). It is pure deen (خالص) (Surah az-Zumar Verse-3), that is genuine deen. It is deen-e-murtaza (مرتَضَىٰ ) (Surah an-Noor Verse-55), that is best among the chosen one. The words mustafa (مصطفےٰ), mujtaba (مجتبےٰ) and murtaza (مرتَضَىٰ) all mean the chosen; however, comparatively mujtaba is superior to mustafa and murtaza is superior to mujtaba. "Allah chooses for deen whom He pleases (prophet, messenger or imam); no one has subject authority, and Allah is above what they associate with Him" (Surah al-Qasas Verse-68). The ranks of prophet, messenger and imam were given in the Heavens. "And (remember Muhammad) when I made covenant with all the prophets. . ." (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-81). "And certainly We sent Nuh and Ibrahim and We gave to their offspring the prophethood and the Book . . ." (Surah al-Hadid Verse-26). Hazrat Hood, Lut and Ibrahim (ES) were offspring of Hazrat Nuh (ES) and Hazrat Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqoob, Yusuf, Dawood, Suleman, Ayub, Zakariya, Yahya, Ilyas, Alyasha, Yunus, Musa, Haroon and Eysa (ES) were offspring of Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) (Surah al-Anaam Verse-84 to 87). Hazrat Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa and Eysa (ES) all followed Deen-e-Islam (Surah ash-Shura Verse-13). "Ibrahim left the same legacy for his sons and so did Yaqood (saying) O my sons! Surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith; therefore, die not unless you are Muslims" (Surah al-Baqara Verse-132). Hence for preaching deen Allah chose prophets and imams from the progeny of the prophets and not from other people! Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) when he was already a prophet was given the rank of Imamat for all mankind after he passed the great test and Allah made a covenant that the rank of Imamat will continue till eternity in the lineage of Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) and that Imamat will not be given to those who are unjust (zalim) [Surah al-Baqara Verse-124]. Therefore, an Imam has to be free from all sins of lesser or higher degrees. Hazrat Yunus (ES) was a prophet but when he committed a small sin sought Allah’s blessings (Surah al-Anbiyaa Verse-87, 88). Hence, every Prophet or Messenger is not an Imam. Also, an Imam is infallible (masoom) because Iblees has no control over him (Surah Saad Verse-83). "Surely, Allah chose Adam and Nuh, the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above all creatures" (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-33). In the light of Quran, there are three personalities to whom the referred name Imran in subject verse can be attributed to: the father of Hazrat Musa (ES), the father of Lady Maryam (SE) and Hazrat Abu Talib (ES) father of Mawla Ali (ES) whose real name is Imran. There was no issue from Hazrat Musa (ES) and Hazrat Eysa (ES) never married; therefore, the question of their descendants doesn’t arise. As such, the reference to aal-e-Imran in subject verse can only be attributed to Hazrat Abu Talib (ES). Therefore, the everlasting Imamat which Allah promised to keep in the offspring’s of Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) are descendants of Abu Talib (ES). "Whom We make Imam they guide from Our instructions, are steadfast and believe firmly in Our revelations since their creation" (Surah as-Sajda Verse-24). "And We desired to bestow favor upon those who are oppressed in this world and to make them Imams and inheritors of earth." (Surah al-Qasas Verse-5). "And We ransomed the manifest trial (of Ismail) with a tremendous sacrifice" (Surah as-Saaffaat Verse-107). The sacrifice in Karbala was a tremendous sacrifice which is an evidence for the lineage of Imamat in Ahlul Bayt. Ranks of Imamat are: Vicegerent (Khalifa), Imam of the people (Imamun Naas), Guide for all (Hadi-e-Kul) and Vicegerent on all creatures (Imamul Khalq). Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) was Imamun Naas and Prophet Muhammad (SW) was Imamul Khalq; therefore, He divided the Moon, recalled the Sun and stones recited testified His prophethood (Kalima) on his hand! Hazrat Muhammad (SW) is the last prophet (Surah al-Ahzaab Verse-40). The chain of prophethood and imamat of Hazrat Muhammad (SW) and Imam Muhammad al-Mehdi (ES) is conjoined with Hazrat Ibrahim and Ismail (ES). "They desire to extinguish Allah’s light (deen) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow that and His light (deen) will be perfected, even though the unbelievers may detest (it)" (Surah at-Tawba Verse-32). In 10th Hijra while returning from Hajj Allah commanded, "Convey (Muhammad) openly the message that was revealed and if that message was not conveyed then you (Muhammad) have not done any act of prophethood and that Allah will protect you from the people; surely, Allah guides not the unbelieving people." (Surah al-Maaida Verse-67). Therefore, at Ghadir Khum, Prophet Muhammad (SW) took Ali (ES) on the pulpit and declared before a large gathering of pilgrims, "Of whomsoever I am Mawla (Master), this Ali is his Mawla." Soon after it was revealed, ". . . On this day [with the declaration of Mawla Ali (ES) as successor of Muhammad (SW)] I have perfected the Deen-e-Islam and completed My blessing upon you . . ." (Surah al-Maaida Verse-3). Deen of Islam is based on Quran which is inheritance and Allah made chosen (mustafa) people its inheritors (Surah Faatir Verse-32). Since the inheritor is always superior to his /her inheritance; therefore, if the inheritor falls sick he /she spends his /her inheritance (wealth, property) to regain his /her lost health. In the same context if Quran is Amr (Surah at-Talaaq Verse-5), its inheritors are Ul`ìl Amr. "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and the Ul`ìl Amr . . ." (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-59). Ul`ìl Amr are those nominated by the Prophet all from the tribe of Quraish and told their names to Jabir bin Abdullah (RE): Ali s/o Abu Talib, Hassan s/o Ali, Hussain s/o Ali, Ali s/o Hussain, Muhammad s/o Ali, Jaffer s/o Muhammad, Mussa s/o Jaffer, Ali s/o Mussa, Muhammad s/o Ali, Ali s/o Muhammad, Hassan s/o Ali and Muhammad al-Mehdi s/o Hassan and instructed him to convey His Slaam to the 5th Vicegerent Imam Muhammad Baqar (ES) which he conveyed. Quran has no contradiction in its contents (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-82), and there is no difference of opinion on Islamic religious matters among these 12 Imams which is a glaring proof of their divine vicegerency. ‟On the that day (day of resurrection), we shall call all human beings with their (respective) Imams . . ." (Surah al-Isra Verse-71). Hence, so long a person exists in this world the presence of an Imam is essential! On the night of Power the angles descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all the decrees (Surah al-Qadr Verse-4), which is an evidence of presence of a Competent Authority (Sahib-e-Amr) to whom the decrees are handed over. "Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! On that day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soul which didn’t believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say: wait, We too are waiting" (Surah al-An’aam Verse-158). Prophet Muhammad (SW) said, "When my 12th vicegerent (khalifa) will show up, Khazir and Ilyas from this world and Idrees and Eysa from the heavens will come to testify the imamat of Muhammad al-Mehdi and Eysa will pray behind Muhammad al-Mehdi" (Sihah Sittah). "There is no compulsion in deen . . ." (Surah al-Baqara Verse-256). "Hold fast rope of Allah all together and not be disunited . . ." (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-103). "As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did" (Surah al-An’aam Verse-159). "Who opens his heart for Islam is in a light (deen) from his Lord . . ." (Surah az-Zumar Verse-22), "And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted and in the hereafter he shall be the losers" (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-85). "Those after accepting Allah’s authority desist, wrath is upon them and theirs will be an awful doom" (Surah ash-Shura Verse-16).

Islam did build Our own nation with peace and harmony. Medina is our first country with different religion living together with our prophet Muhammad PBUH as prime minister. He is acknowledge for his leadership in today history. Allah sent Moses A.S to israel but they didn't acknowledge Jesus A.S as prophet, jewish don't want to follow Jesus commanment, from the same god Allah. Nazareth/nasrani, people of jesus dont want to acknowledge Muhammad as prophet even though Allah sent him too. why this happen? b'coz people of great political influence told them not to, and even change the history. Did the Quran change? never a word...YUSUF ESTES done all the hardwork of finding the original manuscript of hebrew bible, bible and Quran.

Imamat continue Prophet Muhammad (SW) told the names of his 12 Khalifas to Jabir bin Abdullah (RE): Ali bin Abu Talib, Hassan bin Ali, Hussain bin Ali, Ali bin Hussain, Muhammad bin Ali, Jaffer bin Muhammad, Mussa bin Jaffer, Ali bin Mussa, Muhammad bin Ali, Ali bin Muhammad, Hassan bin Ali and Muhammad bin Hassan and instructed him to covey His Slaam to the 5th Vicegerent Muhammad Baqar (ES) which he conveyed. "Iblees misguided everybody except a small group of the true believers (momineen)" (Surah Saba Verse-20). As such, a small group among the believers is infallible (masoom). ". . . Then We made the inheritors of Quran the chosen (mustafa) servants . . ." (Surah Faatir Verse-32). Allah bestows Slaam on the chosen (mustafa) servants (Surah an-Namal Verse-59). Therefore, the names of the chosen personalities are honored with the suffix title of Elayh Slaam and every Muslim pays Slaam on the Salayheen (pious people) during prayers. "On that day (day of resurrection), we shall call all human beings with their respective Imams. . ." (Surah al-Isra Verse-71). Therefore, so long a person exists in this world the presence of an Imam is essential! On the night of Power the angles descend therein, by the permission of their Lord with all the decrees (Surah al-Qadar Verse-4). Hence the presence of a Competent Authority (Sahib-e-Amar) is essential to whom the decrees are handed over. "Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! On that day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soul which didn’t believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say: Wait; We too are waiting" (Surah al-An’aam Verse-158). Prophet Muhammad (SW) said, “When my 12th Khalifa will show up, Khazir and Ilyas from this world and Idrees and Eysa from the heavens will come to testify the Imamat of Muhammad al-Mehdi and Eysa will pray behind Muhammad al-Mehdi. "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger and the Ulil Amr . . . " (Surah an-Nisaa Verse-59). Therefore, obedience of Ulil Amr is essential just like obedience of Allah and the Prophet. Ulil Amr are those vested with authority in all matters. Iblees accepted Allah but didn’t accept the superiority of His vicegerent (khalifa) then what would be the status of the person who has faith in Allah but does not accept the Imam of his time!

IMAMAT IN THE LIGHT OF QURAN Allah creates and chooses for Deen whom He pleases (Prophet, Messenger or Imam); no body has subject authority, and Allah is above what they associate with Him (Surah al-Qasas Verse-68). Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) when he was already a prophet was given the rank of imamat for all mankind after he passed the great test and Allah made a covenant that the rank of Imamat will continue till eternity in the lineage of Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) and that Imamat will not be given to those who are unjust (zalim) (Surah al-Baqara Verse-124). Therefore, an Imam has to be free from all sins of lesser or higher degrees. Hazrat Yunas (ES) was a prophet but when he committed a small sin sought Allah’s forgiveness (Surah al-Anbiyaa Verse-87). Hence, every prophet or messenger is not an Imam. Also, an Imam is infallible (masoom) because Iblees has no control over him (Surah Saad Verse-83). "Whom We make Imam they guide from Our instructions, are steadfast and believe firmly in Our revelations since their creation" (Surah as-Sajda Verse-24). Therefore, a person who is impatient and doubts faith in Allah can not be an Imam. Allah doesn’t assist the false Imam. (Surah al-Qasas Verse-41). "And We have decided to make Imams and inheritors of earth who are oppressed in this world" (Surah al-Qasas Verse-5). "And We ransomed the manifest trial (of Ismail) with a momentous sacrifice" (Surah as-Saaffaat Verse-107). The sacrifice in Karbal was a momentous sacrifice which is the evidence for the lineage of Imamat in Ahlul Bayt. Ranks of Imamat are: Vicegerent (Khalifa), Imam of mankind (Imamul Naas), Guide for all (Hadi-e-Kul) and Vicegerent on all creatures (Imamul Khalq). Hazrat Ibrahim (ES) was Imamun Naas and Prophet Muhammad (SW) was Imamul Khalq; therefore, He divided the Moon, recalled the Sun and stones testified (recited kalima) on his hand! The ranks of Prophet, Messenger and Imam were given in the Heavens. "And remember (Muhammad) when I took covenent from all Prophets . . ." (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-81). Similarly, Mawla Ali (ES) is a witness on the prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (SW). "Is he like Him (Muhammad) who has proof from his Lord and a witness (Ali) who follows Him (Muhammad) and is Imam and Mercy as testified in Torah the book of Moses? . . ." (Surah Hud Verse-17). "And he who (Muhammad) brings the Truth (sidq) and he who testifies it are pious" (Surah az-Zumar Verse-33). The Prophet said, "The other person referred to is Ali." As such, Ali (ES) is also known as Imam of pious (Imamul Muttaqeen). It will be against the tenets of justice if the Imam is not the most knowledgeable person of his time. "And those who disbelieve say: You are not a messenger. Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you and He (Ali) who has knowledge of the Book" (Surah ar-Ra’ ad Verse-43). Ali (ES) said, "My highest honour is that Allah has enjoined me as a witness of prophethood of Muhammad (SW)." The true meaning of Quran is known to Allah and those deeply rooted in knowledge (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-7) and in subject personalities Mawla Ali (ES) excelles everybody because Prophet said, "I am city of knowledge and Ali is its gate" "Nobody can grasp true meaning of Quran except the purified ones" (Surah al-Waqia Verse-79). Ahlul Bayt surpass everybody in subject category because only Hazrat Ali (ES), Hazrat Fatima (SE), Imam Hassan and Hussain (ES) were under the mantel with the Prophet when the clause Tatheer was revealed (Surah al-Ahzaab Verse-33). "Allah has deposited knowledge of everything in Imam-e-Mobeen (the manifesting Imam)" (Surah Yaseen Verse- 12) and Prophet said, "Ali is the Imam-e-Mobeen" It is rewarding to read and memorise Quran but, ". . .in reality Quran is in the breast of those endowed with knowledge (Util Ailm)" {Surah al-Ankaboot Verse-49}. Allah shall exalt the status of Utul Alim (Surah al-Mujaadila Verse-11). "If there was a Quran by virtue of which the mountains were made to move, or the distances of earth could be travelled or the dead were made to speak then it is this Quran . . ." (Surah ar-Ra’ ad Verse-31). Hence a person with Quran in his breast will have the Quranic power. The divinely commissioned Imams do not dissent. Imams have the knowledge (Elm) in their self regardless of age just like Prophet Eysa (ES) {Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-46}. ". . . And We send the dikr . . .who is messenger (Muhammad) . . ." (Surah at-Talaaq Verse-10, 11). "We wrote in Zaboor (the book of Moses) that after the Prophet my righteous servants shall inherit the earth" (Surah al-Anbiyaa Verse-105). If you don’t know then ask the ahlul dikr (Surah an-Nahl Verse-43). Here dikr means Prophet Muhammad (SW) and Ahl means: children (Surah Hud Verse-45), brother (Surah Ta-haa Verse-29, 30), bestride (Surah al-Khaf Verse-71) and like (Surah al-Fath Verse-29). The term children encompasses Imam Hassan and Hussain (ES) because the Prophet is also their forefather; brother implies to Mawla Ali (ES) because the Prophet declared Mawla Ali (ES) as his brother on two occasions; bestride includes Mawali Ali and Imam Hassan and Hussain (ES) because Ali (ES) stood on the shoulders of the Prophet and broke the idols in Ka’ba and Hassan and Hussain (ES) mounted shoulders of the Prophet and overrode on the EID day; like encompasses the lineage of Prophet Muhammad (SW) in which Imamat was established and the Prophet took Mawla Ali, Hassan and Hussain(ES) in place of Nafs and sons respectively in Mubahylah with the Christian of Najran on the issue of Hazrat Eysa’s (ES) birth (Surah aal-e-Imran Verse-61). "Only your Vali (master) is Allah, His Messenger and those true believers (momineen) who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow" (Surah al-Maaida Verse-55). It was Mawla Ali (ES) who gave his ring to a beggar while bowing down during prayers. "And whoso taketh Allah, His messenger and those true believers (momineen) for guardian will join the party of Allah, they are the victorious" (Surah al-Maaida Verse-56). While returning from Hajj at Ghadeer Khum Allah commanded, "Convey (Muhammad) openly the message that was revealed and if that message was not conveyed then you (Muhammad) have not done any act of Prophethood . . ." (Surah al-Maaida Verse-67). Therefore, Prophet Muhammad (SW) took Ali (ES) on the pulpit and declared before a large gathering of pilgrims, "Of whomsoever I am Mawla (Master), this Ali is his Mawla." Prophet Muhammad (SW) is mercy for all worlds (Aalmeens) (Surah al-Anbiyaa Verse-107). Therefore, the Imamat of Mawla Ali (ES) also encompasses all the worlds (Aalams)! On the declaration of Mawla Ali (ES) as successor of Muhammad (SW) Allah said, ". . . this day I have perfected the the Deen-e-Islam with the completion of My blessing upon you . . . "(Surah al-Maaida Verse-3). Therefore, Imamat of Mawla Ali (ES) is blessing (naymat) of Allah. "Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the bounties (na-im - blessings)" (Surah at-Takaathur Verse-8). It is not fitting for anybody to oppose Prophet and His Nafs (Surah at-Tawba Verse-120). ‏Mawla Ali (ES) is Nafs of Prophet Muhammad (SW) because He only took him in place of Nafoos in mubahylah with the Christians of Najran on the issue of Hazrat Eysa (ES) birth. "Why do you make Iblees and his progeny as your Vali, I never made them witness on the creation of universe nor on their own creation, nor could I take those who lead (others) astray for aiders" (Surah al-Kahf Verse-50, 51). As such, Allah’s Vali will be the one who was a witness on the creation of this universe! Continue in next comment

My humble request to mr. Yusuf Estes is that kindly spread Islam according to Qur'an and not according to HADITHS. Because Hadiths have made HALAAL all that Qur'an says HARAAM. For an example, in Sura xxxiii Al AHZSB verse 50 it is said that COUSINS are not permitted (HALAAL) to MOMINS. The Ayat says that COUSINS are HALAAL only to the PROPHET conditionally that's if she MIGRATED along with him and is a BELIEVING WOMAN and DEDICATE her WILL (Nafs) to the Prophet. But MULLA explains the Ayat after Removing "wa" (And) from "Maraat" and attaching "Allati" with "Wahabat". Further the Ayat says that "we know what we have made "FARZ for the BELIEVERS" And Allah said in Sura Nisa verse 23 that "Akhwatokum min ur Razaat" (Your Sisters in Relation) are HARAAM. And AUNTS are close Relatives and they are HARAAM. And it is the law of Islam that whosoever are HARAAM, their born ones are also HARAAM. And it is so that Grand daughters are HARAAM because DAUGHTERS are HARAAM. So BAN COUSINS MARRIAGE so that Allah may have mercy on Muslims.

Do you know that all Muslim will experience hellfire? If You don't know about it, please open and read your Qur'ran Sura Maryam verse 71 72. If you want to be free from hellfire, just believe in Jesus as your Savior.

I'm very glad to see the critique of the Koran is taken place all over the world and question are being asked about its authenticity. Your Prophet Muhammad is right about your Koran that one day the religion of Islam will be destroyed. The Messenger of Allah (Mohammed) observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole." [Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0270.] Did Mohammad lie? He uses the word serpent remember Allah is known as the great deceiver. 3:54 In the bible he is known as Satan a deceiver of the world. Why did you trust him? Listen Jesus is your real savior and he will never lie to you as your Allah and Mohammad did... Come, on home son. X Muslim
