CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE
SHIITE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
ON THE OCCASION OF SACRED
BIRTH OF IMAM JAVAD (peace be upon him)
Innocence of prophets
through God’s proofs:
"There were prophets who
were announcing and frightening so that there would remain for them no proof
and no excuse towards God. "
(sura: Nesa, verse: 164)
This sacred verse reflects the cause of God’s sending messengers to the people
and the reason for their evangelism and their prognosis which is to
complete the proofs to the people
and to remove any excuse for their guilt and errors and they might not present
any excuse in the day of pandemonium.
It is obvious that proof
and acts of prophets are definite when
they make no sin
and when they make no mistake in their acts or words and in interpretation of
decrees of God and its notification, otherwise, no proof will remain for the
people and they will say: “we committed sin because we found the prophets
sinful and we made errors and guilt due to the guilt and error of the prophet
in his deeds and words and he did not consider inspiration correct, but made a
mistake and became anxious in notification of the words of God and as a result,
we acted despite the truth”.
Thus, the prophets who
came to fulfill this purpose, shall not make any mistake or guilt, otherwise,
the purpose of God shall not be fulfilled and this is the meaning of chastity.
There is another verse
reflecting the meaning of chastity:
“We did not send any prophet, except to be obeyed by the people”.
(sura: Nesa, verse: 63)
Thus, just as the prophets
obey God, the people who follow them shall obey God and God’s will and consent
shall rule on their acts. This shows if the prophet makes a mistake or a sin
and if he violates the truth in his deeds and speeches as the means of
fulfilling the decrees, the people who follow them, will naturally, breech the
truth and will commit guilts.
So, according to the
sacred verse which indicates that will of God is applied on their acts, so the
will of God shall also apply on sinful act and since God’s will shall always be
true and shall always apply on truth, so, the prophets shall not make sin, so
that will of God, applied on acts of those who follow Him, will apply only on
sin.
" God shall tell the truth
and shall guide to the correct path."
(sura: Ahzab, verse: 4)
Additionally, if a prophet makes sin, whether in his deed or in his speech,
since sin leads to wrath of God and is prohibited by Him, so the sin shall both
lead to wrath of God and shall be prohibited by Him and lead to His amity and
be commanded by Him. It will lead to His wrath in this respect that it is a sin
and every sin is prohibited by God, it will lead to His amity in this respect
that this deed and speech is presumed to be commanded by God and his mission
means that he is obedient, thus, the deeds and speeches are originated from
Almighty God and since collection of amity and wrath in one object is
impossible considering the unit and collection of command and prohibition on
one act is impossible, considering the unit, thus,
sin and guilt of prophets are impossible and this is the meaning of chastity.
Queen of chastity shall not lead to emergent state of acts
Most of the people think that the prophets and Imams enjoy queen of chastity
and take actions free from their powers of wisdom, will, and option. The
celestial angels elected by God to protect their hearts from error and sin and
guard them in making them secure of any guilt, shall keep them away from any
option and will.
Thus, their worship and
jihad shall not be compared with other people, because the people take path of
God by
efforts and struggles
and tolerate the problems and troubles, but the
prophets are lead by Gabriel and the other angels and for the same reason, they
have been instinctively pure so in their path they only take purity.
Therefore, whatever they
have done, including propagation, expansion, resistance, struggle, obedience,
shall not be expected from other people, because they are different with the
other people, so they shall be different also in their deeds and speeches, and
their purity is not related to they themselves, but it is related to God who
guides them this way and they can not make any movement without the power and
knowledge of God.
It is obvious that this is
an incorrect and improper guess which leads to languor among the nation,
because it is obvious that the prophets, though they hold the rank of purity
and chastity, though they are saved upon God’s will, they would take no action
without the
power of knowledge and without comprehension and heart
will and option.
To explain it more, we
shall say: all the events and all the creatures of this world have some cause
from which they are resulted and for having been resulted by the same cause,
they are fulfilled out of it. So, all the actions and speeches of the prophets
are equally truthful and correct and obedient, are effects of a cause which
lies inside the prophets themselves, the same queen.
The prophets being
pre-eminent is for their optional acts .
This is the cause of their being
superior and distinctive to other people. Because their queens are so much more
powerful, so that
they always rely on the knowledge and will which is inseparable from them and
obey, except, if we presume
that without knowledge and option related to them, they commit goodness, like a
clock which is tuned and they move having no option or they act like a key in
door lock with no option, but just because of a movement of a hand, there will
remain for them no piety, no honor.
Furthermore, we know that
the prophets are inspired and make no mistake in advertisement. If this
propagation is not relied on the queen and the soul inside the prophets and if
it is occurred without the means which exists by the prophet along with their
reality, it requires that the act occurs without will and knowledge of the
prophet. Thus, if the works of prophet is out of his option, which case is
contradictory to the fact that we consider the prophet enjoying the power of
option, like other human beings.
Therefore, all the acts of
prophets, deeds, speeches, miracles, are caused by their won option and science
and relies on the queen, quality, and heart state, relying on God’s will and
protections on the part of angels who guard the prophets’ states of heart,
option, science, soul.
