Fourth Flash: It explains the truth behind the points of conflict between Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah and Alawites (Ahl ash-Shi’a).

THE FOURTH FLASH

The title: ‘The Highway of the Practices of the Prophet’ was considered appropriate for this treatise.

[Although the ‘Imamate Question’ is a matter of secondary importance, since it has been given excessive importance, and because of its relevance to our basic duties towards the Qur’an and belief, it is in part discussed here in regard to this and to its being a subject considered in the sciences of theology (kalâm) and the principles of religion.]

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

Now has come a prophet from among yourselves; it heavily weighs upon him that you might suffer; full of concern is he for you, and full of compassion and mercy towards the believers. * But if they turn away, say: Allah is enough for me, there is no god but He. In Him have I placed my trust, for He is the Sustainer of the Mighty Throne.¹ * Say: I ask no recompense of you save love of close kin.²

We shall point out in two ‘Stations’ two of the many vast truths contained in these glorious verses.
