1 Islamic Intellectual Theology Lesson 33 The Appointed Leadership “IMAAMAT” The Conspiracy of the “Democracy” Part Three Was “Democracy” implemented in in determining the KHILAAFAT? Edited: March 10, 2009 - BHD

2 We Were Created to Worship  The true worship is knowing Allah (swt).  It is the main purpose of creation.  It requires continues education.  The Shaytaan is there until the hereafter.  The opposite must exist as well for balance.  The appointed guide existed since Adam (as) untill Khatam (S)  The concept of a just authority lead by a just leader is an option and not compulsion, “God will never change a nation unless they desire it”

3 Time Required after Legislation  How can the people learn to worship properly if the role model who understands the meaning of worship does not exist.  Especially immediately after the foundation period an infallible human role model is required to train the people after the legislation has been set.  History indicates that the legislation was just completed before the death of the Messenger of Allah (s).  Therefore the Muslims did not have enough time to practice the complete legislation in its integrated form.  History indicates that the integrity of jurisprudence mainly happened in the time of Imam Muhammad Al- Baqir (as) and Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as), even in the school of companions.  This proves that the integrity of the legislation requires years and years of Muslim experience in achieving the full extent of the legislation.

4 Maintaining Islam Requires an Infallible Imam  IMAAMAT is required for Maintaining the religious legislation Its resources The interpretation of the Qur’aan The SUNNA of the Prophet (s) ○ The final two require the existence of an infallible.  The history indicates how the Infallible Imams (as) from the household of the Prophet (s) saved Islam from the threats, movements and ideologies after the death of the Prophet (s) starting from the patience of Imam Ali (as), sacrifice of Imam Hussain (as), the knowledge of Imam As-Sadiq (as) and so on.  They were the reason for the survival of pure Islam.

5 Ahlul Bayt (as) Saving Islam  What ever Ahlul Bayt (as) did was for the sake of protecting Islam and its survival. 1. Patience of Imam Ali (as), his helping to the political leaders of his time to save Islam from the threats 2. Peace treaty of Imam Hassan (as) 3. The opposition and the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (as) 4. The Jurisprudence and the theological concepts of Imam Al-Baqir (as) & Imam As- Sadiq (as). 5. Debates of Imam Ar-Ridha (as) with non- Muslims 6. The coming of the 12 th Imam (aj)

6 Points by Sh. Abbas Kashif Al-Ghitaa’  The difference between the school of Ahlul Bayt (as) and the school of the companions: 1. The concept of IMAAMAT or the divine leadership after the Prophet (s) is from the roots of religion in the school of Ahlul Bayt (as) and from the branches of religion in the school of companions. 2. It is an obligation of God in the school of Ahlul Bayt (as) In the school of companions it is obligation on the nation to choose. 3. Though they were the political leaders the school of Ahlul Bayt (as) considers their leadership invalid intellectually and religiously. As mentioned previously none of the Ahlul Bayt (as) gave pledge of allegiance to them.

7 The IMAAMAH is as NABOOWA  The IMAMMAH is intellectually Proven as the NOBOOWA, as both are divine authorities, and must be chosen and appointed by Allah (swt), except for the rank in some cases like the Prophet Muhammad (s) is better than Imam Ali (as) and the other thing is revelation.  Due to the shortage in the time of revelation, and the requirement of the continuation of the period of application and implementation after the Prophet [s], someone must be available to continue the mission of the Prophet [s].  That deputy must be appointed by Allah [swt] and His Prophet [s] for the assurance of proper application of the laws for a certain period of time until the community becomes mature enough to apply the divine legislation.  Such was supposed to happen after the Prophet Muhammad (s) and because such did not much of the Muslim community went astray until now.

8 The Concept of the Occultation  The IMAAMAT is a legislation.  It is as SALAAT.  The Prophet (as) and Imam (as) or the appointed deputy is an opportunity for the community and the option is there for the people to use it or abuse it.  The occultation happened because the nation abused such opportunity from the death of the Prophet (s), such as abandoning the SALAAT  The IMAM will reappear when there are enough numbers to appreciate Him [aj] and work for Him [aj].
