Hassan”.
He used to always say: “the worst enemy of a man is his Ego that is by his sides”.
Indeed Sayyed Ahmad Al-Hassan (a.s) was a great school in everything and from him we learned how ugly and degraded are the manners of
arrogance and pride which are the prevalent feature of many religious foundations…like kissing the hands, being proud and trespassing over
people, and elongating the beards and enlarging the turbans… as you find that the prevalent practice is that whenever the religious man thinks
he has advanced in knowledge he would elongate his beard and enlarge his turban more than before…yet he would excel even in the slippers! As
who wears a yellow slippers means he has become a Mujtahid! So woe to such Ijtihad in which the slippers is the indication to it!!!!
One day, one of those who claim Ijtihad in Najaf Al-Ashraf griped my attention. I was standing in the Honorable Courtyard of Al-Haider
when this Mujtahid came with one of his followers behind him, so when he reached to the place of taking off the shoes he left his yellow slippers
without handing it to the man in charge of safekeeping the shoes and thus the mission of that man walking behind him is to carry that yellow
slippers and hand it to the man in charge, and when this Marj’ie comes out, that man would offer that yellow slippers to him. I was disgusted by
this deviated Pharaonic manner which is deviated from the manners of Ahlul Bayt (a.s), the manner of humbleness, simplicity and preference.
As for those who claim the Superior Marj’eyah today, you would find people standing in queues for hours waiting for their turn to only kiss the
hand of this Marj’i, nothing else! Just to kiss their hand, no more!! And you find that this Marj’I is raising his hand and most of the times turn
his head to the one sitting beside him to talk to him while people are kissing his hand and going without he even looks at them… this is what I
saw by my eyes and Allah is my Witness! While those clerics read what is reported from Ahlul Bayt (a.s) in forbidding that: Ali bin Mazeed. The
companion of Al-Sabri said: I came to Abi Abdullah (a.s) and picked up his hand to kiss it, so he said: “It is not suitable except to a prophet
or a vicegerent of a Prophet” Al-Kafi Vol. 2, page 185.
Imam Al-Reza (a.s) said: “A man does not kiss the hand of a man, as the kiss of his hand is like praying to him” Tohaf Al-Uqool,
page 450.
As those clerics do not think there is anyone better than them; that’s why their hands are set in front of people to kiss them; or else if they think
there may be someone of those kissing their hands better and closer to Allah than him, how can they accept them to kiss their hands?! Thus this
is very much far away from the morals of Muhammad’s progeny (a.s) and their teaching to their followers and lovers. And how good is the
martyr Muhammad Muhammad Sadiq Al-Sadr (May his soul rest in peace) when he clearly clarified the ugliness of this heresy and refuted all
the frail excuses of justifying this heresy, as he said in one of his sermons or audio recordings something which means: “The one whose hands
are kissed is a Satan whether he knows or not”.
And he also said what means: “I was a stranger in the Hawza and community because I don’t offer my hand to be kissed.. but
Inshallah a day will come when the one whose hand is kissed is the stranger and outcast”.
Yes… Inshallah this day will come very soon for the
religion of Muhammad and
his progeny (a.s) returns fresh and tender without heresy
or deviation, as the
honest dawn has risen and here we are waiting for the
shine of the sun…
The Al-Mighty said:
{…Indeed, their appointment is on the dawn.
Is not the dawn near?} Hud: 11:81
Yes my Lord it is near and very near. Our hearts are
craving for this dawn
which is the delight of the pious and waiters, while the
doubtful and suspicious consider it faraway,
The Al-Mighty said:
{Indeed, they see it [as] faraway*But We see it
near} Al-Ma’arij 70:6-7.
