The Clarification of the Gladdest Tidings regarding the 'Greatest Bliss' and the Surprise of the 'Intercession'...
{فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُوا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ ﴿١٠٦﴾ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ}

______________________
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, peace and blessings be upon my grandfather from generations Mohammed, the messenger of Allah, and his pure family, and upon the former supporters (of the prophets of Allah), the earlier and latter ones of them and upon the higher assembly (angels in the heavens) until the Day of Judgment. Peace be upon the messengers of Allah, and all Praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds...


Peace be upon you, my beloved sincere supporters; peace be upon us and all the righteous servants of Allah. I will sum up the dialogue between the Guided Imam Mahdi and Abu-Hamza in a question-and-answer format. This approach will make it easier for Abu-Hamza to recognize the Truth if he was seeking Truth to follow. Here is the dialogue:


Q1:O Imam Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, is repentance and faith in God (after death) beneficial for someone who died as a disbeliever or a believer who died without sincere repentance to God from the major sins and immoral acts? Please give us the ruling directly from the clear verses of the Great Qur'an.

A1: The answer from me, the Guided Imam, Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, would be as follows: Allah, The Exalted, said:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā' - Verse: 127]
And here is the answer with the true ruling from Allah, Lord of the worlds:
{إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّـهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبٍ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يَتُوبُ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا ﴿١٧﴾ وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبْتُ الْآنَ وَلَا الَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ﴿١٨﴾}
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā' - Verses: 17-18]

Q2: O Imam Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, does this mean that Allah has sentenced them to eternal punishment in Hellfire_ unlimitedly and that they shall be despair of the Mercy of Allah?

A2:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā' - Verse: 127]
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ﴿١٠٢﴾ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْآخِرَةِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ ﴿١٠٣﴾ وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ ﴿١٠٤﴾ يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ ﴿١٠٥﴾ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُوا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ ﴿١٠٦﴾ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٠٧﴾}
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verses:102-107]


Q3: O Imam Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, if we believed that Allah shall never forgive or have mercy on those people, would that contradict our belief in the absolute ability of Allah? As we find Allah, The Exalted, said:
{خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٠٧﴾}؟
[Surah:11 -Hūd - verse:107]


A3:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّـهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٤٠﴾}
[Surah:5 -Al-Mā'idah - Verse:40]


Q4: If we inform the people of Hellfire that Allah will never release them from it, we are effectively telling them to lose hope in Allah's mercy forever. This would be a transgression against the belief that Allah is the Utmost Powerful. Indeed, Allah is capable of everything. He can do whatever He wants, and no one can question Him about His deeds. Yet, is it possible that Allah may forgive them on His own, or must they have sincere intention coming from their hearts to be forgiven by their Lord if He wills, Indeed He is the All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful?


A4:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّـهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾}.
[Surah:27 -An-Naml- Verse:62]

Also Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:60].


Q5: Wait, wait, Imam Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, does this mean that Allah does not close the door of DUAA/Supplication for His disbelieving servants in the Hereafter?

A5:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿٤٧﴾}.
[Surah:7 - Al-A‘rāf- Verse: 47]


Q6: Has Allah answered their Supplication, shown them mercy and admitted them into His Paradise?

A6:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ}.
[Surah:7 - Al-A‘rāf - verse:49]

in line with the verse:
{وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:60]


Q7: O Imam Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani, could you please provide us with more information about those standing on AL-A'RĀF_the place between Paradise and Hell_ who pleaded with Allah not to gather them with the people of Hell and whose prayers were answered? Why did Allah not gather them with the people of Hell from the beginning?

A7:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا}.
[Surah:17 -Al-Isrā'- Verse:15]


Q8: O Imam Mahdi, those who called upon their Lord and were answered, are those the ones who died before the messengers of Allah came to their towns?

A8:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّـهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا ﴿١٦٥﴾}.
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā'- Verse:165]


Q9: Therefore, they have an excuse in front of their Lord, as they died before the coming of the messengers of their Lord to them. An example of this is the father of the messenger of Allah, Mohammed; peace and blessings be upon him and his family. Undoubtedly, Mohammed's father is among the people of AL-A'RĀF, to whom Allah responded and did not punish, in line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا}
[Surah:17 -Al-Isrā'- verse:15]

The question that arises here is: does this mean that the same ruling applies to disbelievers against whom the argument has been established? Do they likewise have the right to invoke their Lord and receive a response?


A9:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ﴿٤٩﴾ قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۚ قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ ﴿٥٠﴾}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verses:49-50]


Q10: Yet, where is the declaration for the disbelievers, the inhabitants of Hellfire, to supplicate to their Lord mentioned in the previous verse?

A10:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:50]


Q11: So, what is the clarification of the Word of Allah:
{وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- verse:50]

Are they astray because they call upon others than Allah to intercede for them in front of their Lord to reduce the torment of one day?


A11:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ﴿٤٩﴾}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:49]


Q12: Then, their astray is because they invoke others instead of Allah. But have the drawn-near angels of the Most Compassionate responded to them?

A12:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللَّـهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ ﴿١٣﴾ لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ ۚ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ ﴿١٤﴾}.
[Surah:13 - Ar-Ra'd- Verses:13-14]

Also, Allah, The Exalted, said:
{قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ قُلِ اللَّـهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَاتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا لِلَّـهِ شُرَكَاءَ خَلَقُوا كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ اللَّـهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ﴿١٦﴾}.
[Surah:13 - Ar-Ra'd- Verse:16]


Q13: Since the angels have not dared to respond to the supplication of the People of Fire, does it mean that they have not dared to ask their Lord to lighten their torment for a single day despite being close to the Most Compassionate? Does this imply that they are not allowed to plead with their Lord to lessen the suffering of one day for the people of Fire?

A13:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{فَمَن يُجَادِلُ اللَّـهَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا} .
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā'- Verse:109]


Q14: Consequently, no servant of Allah has the right to argue with Allah on behalf of any of His servants on the Day of Resurrection, even if he were to appeal to Allah by His Mercy. Instead, servants of Allah have only the right to say like the saying of the Messiah, Isa Ibn Maryam/Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him; when he said:
{إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿١١٨﴾}.
[Surah:5 - Al-Mā'idah- Verse:118]

This means that no servant can be more merciful to the other servants than Allah Himself, the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. In line with the saying of Ibrahim/Abraham, the messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him; when he said:
{فَمَن تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي ۖ وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ}.
[Surah:14 -Ibrāhīm- Verse:36]

Meaning: O Allah, Your Servant is not more merciful to Your Servants than You are. Indeed, You are their Lord that is More Merciful to them far beyond Your Servant and Your Promise is true as You are the Most Merciful ever. Seeing that the Guardians of Hell; the close angels to the Most Compassionate, replied to the people of Fire:
{قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:50]

Which means that they should invoke their Lord only. Verily, their supplication to Allah's servants instead of Allah to intercede for them before their Lord, who is More Merciful to them far beyond His Servants, is a clear misguidance as it is a denial to the attribute of Allah's Mercy that He is The Most Merciful of the merciful ones. How can they seek intercession from those who are less merciful than Allah, The Most Merciful? Their supplication to others than Allah is an error. So, the angels of The Most Compassionate replied to the people of Fire saying:
{قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ}.
[Surah:40 - Ghāfir- Verse:50]

The people of Fire should call upon Allah only, for His mercy on them is far greater than that of His Servants. His Promise is true and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful ones, yet they have not understood that.

The question that arises here is: if they call upon their Lord, is it allowed for them to ask Him to free them from the Fire and return them back to the worldly life to perform good deeds instead of the evil deeds they used to? Is that supplication establishing an argument for them in front of their Lord so that He may answer them?


A14:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّـهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا ﴿١٦٥﴾}.
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā'- verse:165]


Q15: Therefore, Allah will not respond them because their supplication does not serve as an argument in their favour before their Lord. Rather, the argument stands against them, for Allah, after He has sent them His messengers whom they belied. In line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّـهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا ﴿١٦٥﴾}.
[Surah:4 - An-Nisā'- Verse:165]

The exact question here is: what is the supplication that serves as an argument in their favour before their Lord?

A15:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
They should say instead:
{رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ}.
[Surah:7 -Al-A‘rāf- Verse:23]


Q16: Is the servants' plea, in front of their Lord on the Day of Judgment, should be His Mercy which He has decreed upon Himself? And whoever denies it surely has lost himself and will not find anyone to show him mercy after Allah?


A16:
{قُلِ اللَّـهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ}
{Say (O Mohammed): Allah gives you the ruling}.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
{كَتَبَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ ۚ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ}.
[Surah:6 -Al-An‘ām- Verse:12]


Now, it is obvious to us the reason why the disbelievers said:
{فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَاءَ فَيَشْفَعُوا لَنَا أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ}.
[Surah:7 -Al-A‘rāf- verse:53]

This is because they have despaired of the Mercy of Allah upon them, thinking that there's no other way but to invoke the close servants of Allah to intercede for them before Allah, or that Allah may return them to the worldly life to do other than the bad acts they used to do. Therefore, they lost hope in Allah's Mercy and did not ask their Lord for it, although Allah has written Mercy upon Himself. Nor did they affirm that Allah is capable of everything as confirmed in the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّـهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٤٠﴾}.
[Surah:5 - Al-Mā'idah - verse:40]


O People whom Allah has chosen to know my matter, I ask you by Allah, in case one of you dies and enters Hellfire, tell the inhabitants of Hell that I, the Guided Imam, am telling them that: "if the sins you have committed against yourselves were enough to justify Allah's punishment on you, then know with certainty that your plea for His Mercy is much greater_ as long as you believed that Allah is truly the Most Merciful of the merciful ones". Indeed, you should despair entirely of the mercy of any of Allah's servants and say: "How it comes for us to wait until the Day of Resurrection for the close servants of Allah to intercede for us?". Yet now, you are still calling upon the keepers of Hell to intercede for you before Your Lord_ but they did not benefit you. And know this, on the Day of Resurrection, even the drawn-near servants of Allah will not dare to intercede for you in front of your Lord. Rather, Allah Himself will say to you:
{مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَاؤُكُمْ}.
[Surah:10 -Yūnus- verse:28]

Meaning from Allah: "Oh, You still believe that My close servants will intercede for you in My Presence, and that is why you are waiting for their intercession on the Day of Resurrection".


Now, let's see the consequences for that from the knowledge of the unseen, recorded in the Book of Allah where Allah said:
{وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَاؤُكُمْ ۚ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ وَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾ فَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّـهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾ هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُو كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا أَسْلَفَتْ ۚ وَرُدُّوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ مَوْلَاهُمُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾}.
[Surah:10 -Yūnus- Verses:28-30]


The disbelievers failed to understand that Allah wants them to call upon Him directly, as His mercy for them is far greater than that of any of His servants. Allah intended for those who associate partners with Him to lose hope in the mercy of these partners. Therefore, He instructed them to ask their idols for intercession before Allah and to see whether these partners could respond to their pleas. Allah, The Exalted, said:
{وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا ﴿٥٢﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الكهف]،
[Surah:12 -Al-Kahf- Verse:52]

Indeed, the close servants of Allah will reject the plea and turn against those who called upon them, in line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ آلِهَةً لِّيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا ﴿٨١﴾ كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا ﴿٨٢﴾}.
[Surah:19 -Maryam- Verse:81-82]


The close servants of Allah have refused to be supplicated instead of Allah because the supplicators have exaggerated in their status after their death:
{وَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾ فَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّـهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾ هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُو كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا أَسْلَفَتْ ۚ وَرُدُّوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ مَوْلَاهُمُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾}.
[Surah:10 -Yūnus- Verses:28-30]

When the supplicators faced torment and all paths to mercy were cut off _so that perhaps they may realize that there is no refuge for them from their Lord's punishment except to plead for His Forgiveness by the grace of His Mercy_ yet, even then, they dared not to turn to Him. Here, all sounds will be hushed in reverence to Allah, The Ever-Living, The All-Sustaining, and nothing will be heard but murmurs.


Suddenly...

They will be astonished at a single servant _whom Allah has permitted to speak directly to His Lord, standing before them. The words of this servant will deepen their sorrow and multiply their grief, for he will complain against them to their Lord, declaring that they have barred him from attaining 'the Greatest Bliss'. This servant will reject the vicegerency bestowed upon him over Allah's Kingdom and will even refuse to enter his Lord's Paradise. Pleading instead of far greater pleasure _Allah's Pleasure that surpasses even the joy of His Garden.










Then, Allah will say to him:


"O My Servant! Haven't I made you the comprehensive vicegerent of your Lord over the dominion of the worldly life? And now, behold! Here I Am making you a vicegerent of your Lord over the dominion of the Hereafter?"


Then the servant will respond: "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from being content with any of that until You grant me the 'Bliss' that is greater than all of this."


Here we find the People of the Right (people of Paradise who will take their book happily with their right hand, the book in which all their worldly deeds were recorded), the People of the Left (people of Hell who will take their book sadly with their left hand) and the drawn- near servants of Allah, they all will gaze at this remarkable man and his companions that Allah has assembled around him. They all will see his companions laughing in a quiet smile, witnessing the awe-struck expressions upon the faces of the righteous servants of Allah. This group has truly grasped, even in their worldly life, the profound reality of Allah's attribute as 'The Greatest'. Indeed, this understanding of the essence of Allah's Pleasure as 'The Greatest Bliss' was the decisive sign that Allah has placed within their hearts, the very Truth by which they recognized that servant as the Guided Imam.


As for the reason for their smile, it blooms from their understanding of this servant's pleading to His Lord for fulfilling 'The Greatest Bliss'. They have witnessed this servant apologising to his Lord for not accepting the Caliphate/Vicegerency over the kingdom of Paradise, asking his Lord to fulfil 'the Greatest Bliss' for him.


The servant's words to The Lord left even the righteous servants of Allah in wonder, prompting them to ask: what more could he desire when Allah has made him His vicegerent over the entire dominion of the worldly life and the Hereafter? Allah has appointed Adam as His Vicegerent over an earthly Garden of Allah, yet He has set this servant as His Vicegerent over the eternal Garden of Abode. What Bliss could be greater than what his Lord has bestowed upon him?! Allah has bestowed upon this servant a favour unparalleled_ a grace He has granted to none before. Has this servant grown prideful that he desires to seek divinity itself? What's wrong with him that he would disdain the vicegerency of his Lord over the Gardens of the supreme dominion? He seeks a Bliss beyond even that. What bliss could be greater than 'The Garden of Bliss'?


Oh, What silent awe stirs within their hearts _a wonder unspoken but vivid upon their faces! Their bewildered expressions drew smiles from the companions of that servant while standing in his assembly. And now, behold the scene: The servant is standing in the presence of his Lord, speaking in his name and on behalf of his companions, beseeching Allah to fulfil 'The Greatest Bliss' for him and complaining the disbelievers who hindered him from attaining 'The Greatest Bliss', while Allah has not responded him yet.


Therefore, the servant collapsed upon his knees on the ground of Resurrection and Gathering, weeping and crying out in anguish, saying: ((Woe is mine for my 'Greatest Bliss'! O my Lord, why have you created me? Ah, the injustice! Your faithless servants have wronged me and barred me from attaining 'The Greatest Bliss'. O You who have forbidden injustice upon Yourself, what's my fault, my Lord!))


The disbelievers thought that a crushing calamity would soon strike them, adding yet another torment to their suffering. For they could not comprehend the actions of this servant, who has summoned them to judgment before their Lord. As for the righteous, they were struck with awe at this servant's speech, even though his words were undeniably right.


And Lo! The major surprise comes from Allah, The Most Merciful of all, allowing His servant and all His other servants to enter His Paradise. Now, Allah is Well-Pleased within Himself, having fulfilled 'The Greatest Bliss' for the sake of His servant and his companions who stand on his fellowship. When disbelievers heard that Allah had become Well-Pleased within Himself upon His servants and granted mercy on all of them, allowing them altogether to enter Paradise, those who were trapped in the Fire, were struck in astonishment at this servant and his companions and said to them:

{قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا الْحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ}.
[Surah:34 -Saba’- Verse:23]


And thus, 'The Greatest Bliss' has been fulfilled.


This is the station of the Awaited Imam Mahdi, the Guided one, whom you don't recognise his true worth and don't grasp his secret as he alone will unite humanity into one nation upon the Straight Path. The comprehensive guidance of mankind will be only in his era. Allah will guide every soul on earth for his sake, as he worships Allah's Pleasure within Himself as a goal, never as a means. And what makes Allah Well-Pleased within Himself? It is when He grants His Mercy on His servants. Indeed, Allah has created His servants to worship and fulfil His Pleasure within Himself.


Allah has revealed to you the coming of the Awaited Imam Mahdi _the Guided one, through whom Allah will grant guidance to all people on earth, uniting them into a single nation upon the Straight Path. Indeed, you will find the glad tidings regarding his advent in the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً ۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ ﴿١١٨﴾ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ}.
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verses:118-119]


In the previous verses, Allah informs you that the complete guidance of all people has never before been realized in the era of sending the prophets and messengers of Allah. Rather, people always split into two groups: a group whom Allah has guided, and a group upon whom misguidance was justified. Then, Allah has established a singular exception in the coming of the Awaited Imam mentioned in the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ}.
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verses:118-119]

Meaning: except he upon whom Allah has bestowed mercy and guided all people on earth for his sake, making them one nation upon the Straight Path.


Perhaps one of the questioners wishes to interrupt me, saying: "Since this verse contains Allah's glad tidings regarding the advent of the Awaited Guided Imam, could you please elaborate it to us in detail using the Great Qur'an?
{وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً ۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ ﴿١١٨﴾ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ}.
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verses:118-119]

Therefore I, the Guided Imam Mahdi, reply to him with the truth, indeed, I speak nothing but the Truth: concerning the clarification of the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً}
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verse:118]

It is clarified in the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا}.
[Surah:10 -Yūnus- Verse:99]

Thus, they would be united into one nation upon the Straight Path.


Regarding the true clarification of the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ}
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verse:118]

It is clarified in the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلَالَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾}.
[Surah:7 -Al-A‘rāf- Verse:30]

Allah here refers to the entire prophetic era, from the first messenger to the last. Throughout this era, Allah's Guidance for all humanity was never established. Instead, people were divided into two parties: one was upon guidance from Allah and the other was justly misguided.


Hence, we come to the clarification of the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ}.
[Surah:11 -Hūd- Verse:119]


Meaning: save him on whom your Lord has bestowed mercy and guided all people for his sake, achieving the Pleasure that is greater than that of Allah's Garden. Allah has created His servants to worship and seek the Pleasure that they feel when their Lord is Well-Pleased within Himself upon them, in line with the Word of Allah, The Exalted:
{وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦﴾}.
[Surah:51 -Adh-Dhāriyāt- Verse:56]


O My beloved Muslims! What has deluded you regarding the truth of the advent of the Guided Imam Mahdi? I swear by Allah, The Great, the one who always guides me and you to the Straight Path, The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, The lord of the Mighty Throne, the one who revives decayed bones into life, the one who annihilated the People of A'ād (an ancient tribe after Noah) with a wind like none ever seen, I declare that: I am indeed the Awaited Imam Mahdi, the Guided one, the Caliph of Allah over both worlds: mankind and Jinn, whether you accept it or not.


And if you were to deny me, be certain that Allah will prevail me over you with an unparalleled chastisement of someday forcing you all to believe. After that, Allah will give you enjoyment for a determined time and then shall come the major slaught upon the wrongdoers. Verily, most of you comprehend not.


Peace be upon the messengers and Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
The blood brother of the Children of Adam; the descendants of Adam and Eve, Imam Mahdi,
