Re: Assets of Imran Khan in Pakistan & Abroad
I agree as long as he is not involved in political arena. Since you have brought faith here, what is the definition or characteristics of Imam who lead the people of a nation? Do you have any idea? If not read the Holy Qur’an.
Surah Sajdah, verse 24 points out
‘And We made of them Imams to guide by Our command when they were patient, and they were certain of Our communications.’
‘Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you; how do you judge?’
(Surah Yunus, Verse 35)
**Ameerul Momineen Ali (a.s.) has described the characteristics of both kinds of Imams in his orations. 'The reality of people is not understood by their names but by the pattern of their behavior and mannerisms. Just as clothes hide the defects of the body, external manners cloak the defects of the soul. A connection of the soul is a necessity between the Imam and the follower. If a person (i.e. Imam) is not pious in his own heart, he will not be able to guide his followers towards piety and servitude. Hence if we desire Heaven and want to safeguard our eternal life from the chastisement of the Hellfire, then we have to search for an Imam whose inner and outer selves both are complete manifestations of divine command. Such an Imam must necessarily be adorned with piety completely, i.e. must be an infallible. **
I did not bring faith in the discussion. Read post 48
But anyways sir, aap Doctor Rehman Malik ko vote dai daina. I am sure he is a true momin, pious in his heart and his actions are manifestations of divine command.
