SAY: “I AM INDEED A CLEAR WARNER.” LIKE AS WE SENT DOWN ON THE DIVIDERS, THOSE WHO DIVIDED THE QUR’AN INTO PARTS. (SURAT AL-HIJR, 89-91) |

... those who divided the Qur’an into parts. |
When Hazrat Mahdi (as), whose coming is promised, wishes to increase the value of the religion and restore the Sunnah, people of the bi’dah (innovations) (people who say that customs that have no place in the original form of the religion and entered it only later are actually part of it) together with those who make a practice of deeds and who confuse the religion, imagining that they are doing good (doing something with which Allah will be pleased), will say in amazement: - This person (Hazrat Mahdi [as]) wishes to eliminate our religion and damage our law.” (Letters of Rabbani, 1/535) |
...Hazrat Mahdi (as) will implement the religion, just as it was in the time of our Prophet (saas). He will eliminate sects from the world. No sect will remain but the true and genuine religion. His foes will be those who imitate the scholars of doctrine. Because when they see that Hazrat Mahdi (as) pronounces totally differently to the imams of the sects, they will be displeased, but will be unable to oppose him... His declared foes will be the scholars of religious law. Because they will enjoy no more esteem among the people. And their knowledge of the subject of judgments will decline. With the coming of this imam, the inconsistencies among the rulings by these scholars will be eliminated. If he had no sword (knowledge) they would issue a fatwa for his death. (Portents of Judgment Day, Muhammad ibn Rasul al-Hussain al-Barzanji, Pamuk Press, pp. 186-187) |
IN HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI’S (AS)] TIME, THE RELIGION WILL BE RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM BY BEING COMPLETELY PURGED OF SUPERSTITION. HE WILL OPPOSE THE SECTS OF THE ULAMA IN MANY OF HIS PRONOUNCEMENTS. THEY WILL THUS KEEP THEIR DISTANCE FROM HIM. Because in their opinion, they will agree that Allah will leave no restorer of the religion after the imams... (Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi, "Futuhat al-Makkiya", ch. 66, Vol. 3, pp. 327- 328) |
