Question 469

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Through Him we seek help, and to Him belongs praise, first and last. Prayers and peace be upon the best of His creation, Muhammad, and his pure progeny, the Imams and the Mahdis, and may He grant them peace. And thereafter: Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. Peace be upon the Yamani of the family of Muhammad. Peace be upon the son of the Remnant of Allah upon His earth and His Proof over His servants. My master, it is an honor for me to write to your station-from nonexistence, darkness, and disobedience to the light of the most splendid existence; to the one to whom the hearts of the believers cling; to Allah’s guarded secret. My master, by Allah, I am ashamed to address you, but I have no recourse except that. I have questions and ask you to answer them: First: I am among those who believed in your Call, and this is a tremendous honor for me. I am still studying in the religious seminary, but without conviction in doing so, because I have grown weary of the students’ conduct, because beneficial sciences are absent, because my presence there is to discharge an obligation, because of the ill-fated salary that humiliates the students, and also to avert suspicion from myself in the seminary and the area. What do you advise me, my master? Should I remain or not? Second: People frequently ask me about religious rulings, and I answer according to what is commonly stated in the practical manuals, but I fear that this may conflict with what is found in the book The Laws of Islam. What is the way out, my master? Third: Some students ask me to teach them principles of jurisprudence or rational sciences, and I evade doing so out of fear of opposing you, my master. Finally, and most importantly, my master, O son of the Remnant of Allah, I ask you for a supplication for the rectification of my Hereafter and this world, for you have tremendous standing and an exalted station with Allah, by the right of the one who entrusted His secret to you. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. Sender: Ruh al-Haqq - Iraq
