A Luminary

The �Introduction to the Quran� is the outcome of deep research by the great scholar Late Haji Mirza Mehdi Pooya (no honorific can elevate a name now so eminent) . The intellectual zeal and intuitive insight of this most profound and constructive thinker have elucidated logically �Genuineness of the Quran , the meaning of �Revelation� , �Existence of God� , �Inevitability of Faith in Divine Occultation = the birth , presence disappearance and reappearance of the 12th Imam - the last Imam from the AhlulBait , Progeny of the Holy Prophet� - all these articles of faith being , based on the Quran .

Beliefs and acts of Yazid

What was the character of this so-called caliph of the Prophet?
He was such that he openly denied the messengership of the Messenger (s.a.w). He made his beliefs clear in the following couplets:
�Banu Hashim (the Prophet and his family) has played a game to obtain temporal power.
The fact is that neither an angel came to them nor any revelation descended.�
Intoxicated in this wrong belief, he considers that the tussle between Islam and disbelief to be a battle between two clans and is overjoyed that he has succeeded in taking revenge from the progeny of the Prophet on behalf of his ancestors.

The Rise of the Umayyads

The most harmful feature for Islam was the resurgence of the Umayyads and their return to a position of power. They were the same Umayyads who were sworn enemies of Islam. This also materialized under the patronage of the caliphs. During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah, the Umayyads waged battle after battle against Islam, under the leadership of Abu Sufyan. At last their power was destroyed in 8 A.H. when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) conquered Mecca without any bloodshed or armed conflict. Now, since no other option remained, they changed their tactics. That is, now they donned the garb of Islam. However, Islam never reached their hearts and the blood of infidelity continued to flow in their veins. The Holy Quran has referred to them at least on six occasions, and in every place they are denounced in the most humiliating manner. In the view of Quran, these people are �the accursed tree or family.�[12]

explainment

Since the last 10 years, Maulana Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi is involved in religious propagation in East Africa. In that region writing in Urdu is of no avail. Due to this the respected Maulana has devoted all his attention to writing in English and Swahili languages. The English bi-monthly, �Light� and Swahili bi-monthly �Sauti ya Bilal� have been published without a break since the last 10 years and the Maulana has written hardly anything in Urdu. The present article was also published in September 1966 issue of the Light Magazine.
The relationship between religion and rulership is very delicate. Until the time rulers are content to follow the religion, it is all right. But when their aspirations exceed the limits and they aspire to also control religion and keep it under their subjugation, it is the beginning of strife and destruction. This is the time when the Genghis Khan gets the sword of religion in his hand. In such an event, it is only religion that has to bear the loss. For example the acceptance of Christian religion by Emperor Constantine was more harmful to Christianity than open opposition of the previous irreligious kings.

Ziad ibnu Muhammad said:

‘Do Moslems have any other feast other than Eid ul qurban, Eid ul Fitr and Fridays?’
Imam (peace be up on him) replied: ‘Yes, the day in which the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) appointed the commander of the faithful (Imam Ali) to the caliphate and guardianship.’
