For Shia Brothers... During the time of Hazrat Imam Jafer Sadiq (as), some one attributed some false hadith to his father, Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (as), in which various aspects of divinity were attached to the Imams, notably Amir ul- Muminine Hazrat Ali(as). The people who were spreading these fabricated ahadith were the followers of Mughir bin Said and those of Abi Khattab Muhammad bin al-Assadi. When Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) heard about this, he said; “May Allah curse Mughira bin Said as he used to tell lies against my father, May Allah make him taste the heat of burning iron, May Allah curse those who say about us what we do not say ourselves, May Allah curse those who try to make us away from the servitude of Allah, Who created us, and to Him is our return and in His hand is our control”. Rijal al-Kishi. Precisely, according to the teaching of the Holy Prophet (sws) and his Ahlal Bayit (as), if anyone knowingly or ignorantly commits any of the following act, then he has committed a major Shirk. -To consider any Prophet, or Imam, or a leader as an Independent Power. -To portray the Prophet, or any Imam as god or like a God. -To give the Prophet, Imam, or anyone, attributes of Allah or Divine titles which make them to look like a God. -To associate anyone of them with God in His Power of Execution. Muslims should take extreme caution while praising the Prophets and Imams. The magnitude of their greatness is certainly unimaginable and their status is beyond our praise, but they all were human beings and we mustn’t depict them as God or like a God or give Allah’s attributes to any one of them. Quran Reflects... “They (Christians) have taken their rabbis and monks as Lords besides Allah, and also al- Masih, son of Maryam, though they were ordered to serve one God only. There is no god but He, Exalted be He above those whom they associate with Him.” (9:31) The teaching of monotheism is that their is no god but Allah, Who has no par tner. There is none like Him. It is basically impossible that there could be anyone like Him. If anyone is like Him then it means that there are two gods which is impossible.
