Question 34

Question

Question and answer [link]

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace be upon the one who follows guidance and knows certainty. To proceed: Know, O claimant to messengership and vicegerency, that every matter has two aspects, one known and one unknown, and this applies to everything in this perishing world. As for your claim to vicegerency and messengership, it is a grave lie and contradicts what was previously conveyed on the tongues of the infallible ones. As for your claim that you meet the Imam, it would be more fitting for him (a) to appear himself, not through the mediation of Ahmed Alhasan, whose writings are concerned with the dirham and administering the seminary’s affairs. Know, O deluded claimant, that the best thing you claim is reform, but it should be in your own name, not in the Imam’s name. That is nearer to Godwariness and credibility. Instead, you have made matters worse and made people laugh at you by appointing yourself the fifth deputy. The Imam has a true station too noble to be represented by a person like you who does not know how to distinguish falsehood from truth. Messengership is not wrangling among seminary students who understand nothing of truth except temporary marriage, khums, postpartum bleeding, reciting Quranic verses, or memorizing some narrations attributed to the Imams (a). If you are truthful in your claim-and that is impossible-I invite you to a debate over the internet in which you explain your deficient thought concerning the secret of knowing the Imam-may Allah hasten his relief-and why he became absent and concealed himself from the people, with the result that you became his chosen messenger and supported vicegerent, like Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s) supported by Gabriel and Michael, so that you may frighten simple people with these names. I challenge you to know the reality of Gabriel and what he represented to the Greatest Messenger, whom, by fate’s mockery, he has now come to support, spreading his wings over your shoulders! Praise be to Allah who guided those blind in insight and willed and decreed. Abundant praise be to Allah for all His blessings. As for the wretched people who follow you, Satan has blinded their insight. I pray to Allah to guide them, for if they had an atom of reason they would not follow you in slaughtering the Imam’s path upon the altar of a lying renegade who exploited the Imam’s name. Know that you are neither the first nor the last. Not everyone who burdens himself with dinner, sleeps, and then sees a vision in his dream must be followed. I advise you to leave dinner at night so that you may sleep with a light and comfortable stomach, abandon this nonsense, and ask Allah’s forgiveness for the minds you have corrupted. O Allah, I have gone to the utmost in counsel and called them to the path of right guidance. O Allah, bear witness. The poor servant of Allah, Ali al-Qaysi - Messenger of Suffering Humanity and Vicegerent of the Destitute 24 Rabi al-Thani 1426 AH In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace be upon those who follow guidance. To proceed: By Allah, I am sorry for what I wrote about you this morning; you do not deserve everything I wrote. In general, I ask Allah’s forgiveness because I transgressed against a mentally ill madman. I ask Allah to grant you well-being and heal you of your illness, and to guide your family to the way to the psychiatric hospital so that you may find relief from this illness. Perhaps there you will find someone who listens to and believes you. I ask Allah to heal every sick person. The one praying for well-being, Ali al-Qaysi, the righteous citizen. This is outside the subject, but a gift from me: The matter of Moses and the sea was not as you imagine. Rather, it was the tide, which is a natural occurrence. That is why Pharaoh followed Moses. Had it been as you imagine, no one but a madman like you would have entered the sea with his army. Read between the lines, O claimant to prophethood and vicegerency. alaaalkaese@yahoo.com Baghdad Ali al-Qaysi

Accepted Answer

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Await the answer from Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan, the Promised Yamani, and listen to his address at the following link: http://home.ripway.com/2005-3/268344/kh_s/kh_s01.htm We thank you for these words, because you have established one of the proofs of the truthfulness of Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan’s call and of those who followed him. It is one of the proofs we present against those who deny: accusing Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan of being mad and ill. This accusation scarcely leaves any prophet or vicegerent. Did the people of Mecca receive the Messenger Muhammad (s) with flowers, or did they shout at him? I will say it to you colloquially: ‘… crazy,’ meaning mad. They threw stones at him, and they broke al-Zahra’s rib. The Quran mentions dozens of verses describing accusations against the prophets-‘madman,’ ‘sorcerer,’ and so on-and describing their supporters as the lowest people, far be it from them (^[72]). Have you heard these accusations applied to Abu Lahab, Pharaoh, Muawiya, or the criminal Saddam? They were treated with honor-may Allah curse them and whoever does not curse them. That earlier time was easier, for we are in the most evil time. Victory is surely coming. The curse be upon the one-eyed Dajjal who emerges from Sistan, as the Ahl al-Bayt (a) reported in several major sources (^[73]). The curse be upon the Greater Dajjal. The curse be upon al-Sufyani. This is our answer-we, the Supporters: supporters of Allah, the prophets, the messengers, al-Husayn, and al-Mahdi (a). After all this, await Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan’s answer. We would have wanted you to swear the oath of disavowal, saying: ‘I disavow Allah’s power and strength in favor of my own power and strength if Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan is the messenger and vicegerent of Imam al-Mahdi.’ But we advise you not to utter it until after Sayyid Ahmed Alhasan’s answer, so that perhaps you may be guided at his hands. My brother is mad, while the website contains hundreds of commentaries?! Peace be upon the Yamani. Peace be upon the Yamani. Follow ‘What Is New’ and all the sections of our website. The Supporters of Imam al-Mahdi Rabi al-Thani 1426 AH Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Exalted said: ‘So We revealed to Moses: Strike the sea with your staff. It split, and each part was like a great mountain’ (^[74]). In this verse, the expressions ‘it split,’ ‘each part,’ and ‘like a great mountain’ all preclude the tide that some who are ignorant of the truth have interpreted it to be. At low tide, the water recedes in one direction; it does not split into two bodies of water, each raised above the ground like a great mountain. I say to whoever is ignorant of the truth: this sign occurred for Joshua ibn Nun (a), the vicegerent of Moses (a), and his army. The river split and they crossed on its bed. It also occurred with Elijah-Elias (a)-and his vicegerent Elisha (a), as stated in the Torah, and the river split for him. Did the phenomenon of tides move to rivers? As for the rest of al-Qaysi’s words, their answer is in the Book of Allah: ‘Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe. By the blessing of your Lord, you are not a madman. Indeed, for you is an unfailing reward. Indeed, you are upon a magnificent character. You will see, and they will see, which of you is afflicted with madness’ (^[75]). Their answer is in His words, the Exalted: ‘The reckoning of the people has drawn near while they turn away in heedlessness. No renewed reminder comes to them from their Lord except that they listen to it while playing, their hearts distracted. Those who wronged conferred secretly: Is this anything but a human being like you? Will you then approach magic while you see it? He said: My Lord knows every word in heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. Rather, they said: Confused dreams; rather, he fabricated it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign as the former ones were sent’ (^[76]). Their answer is in His words, the Exalted: ‘Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets, and Allah is Knowing of everything’ (^[77]); ‘O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of good news, a warner, one who calls to Allah by His permission, and an illuminating lamp. Give the believers good news that they will have great bounty from Allah. Do not obey the disbelievers and hypocrites; disregard their harm, put your trust in Allah, and Allah is sufficient as Trustee’ (^[78]). Ahmed Alhasan Jumada al-Awwal 1426 AH
