Masoom-Sinless
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
THE PROPHETS ARE UNABLE TO SIN (MA’SUM)
The sinlessness (ismat) of the Prophets is a Qat’ee (explicitly proven from the Quran and Hadith) and Ijma’ (agreed upon by the Ummah) belief.
If those Ahadith which prove the sins of the Prophets are not successive (Mutawatir) and explicit (Qat’ee}, but are famously reported by a single narrator (Mash’hoor Aahaad), they are all rejected and are not credible, even if the narration is sound (Sahih).
Surah Yusuf, Tafseere-Kabeer states that those Ahadith which go against the Prophets are not acceptable. To accept a narrator to be false is easier then believing a Prophet to have committed sin. Those Quranic verses and Mutawatir Ahadith which seemingly associated lies or any other sin to the Prophets are necessary to be interpreted. Their visible meaning will either not be what is meant, or it will be said that these misunderstandings were prior, to their receiving of Prophethood.
Madaarijun-Nubuwwah states that these types of ayats are similar to Mutashabihaat ayats, in which silence is necessary. – Vol. 1. Chapter 4 .
Allah(swt) possessing all the perfect qualities (i.e. Authority. Knowledge, Independence, etc.) is an explicit and unanimous belief. According to their visible meanings however, some ayats seem contrary to this,
“They deceive Allah(swt) and He deceives them,” 3/54
“They cheated and Allah(swt); cheated,” 4/142
“Wherever you turn, YOU will find the face of Allah 2/115
Allah’s subhanu waatala hand is upon their hands … ,” and Allah(swt) became leveled on the Arsh,,7/190
Allah(swt) is free from having a face. Hands, being level, cheating and deception.
However, the above ayats are visibly proving these things for Him. Thus, it is neccessary for these verses to be interpreted, rather than applying their literal meaning to Allah(swt). Whoever accepts Allah(swt) to be defective based on these verses is a person without Imaan. Similarly, anyone who takes the visible meaning of some ayats and uses it to establish and believe that the Prophets were sinners or polytheists is someone without deen.
Hadrat Musa (as) had no intention of killing anyone. Rather, he wished to free the oppressed Israeli (Jew) from the unfair Egyptian. When the Egyptian didn’t free him, he struck him to separate them. The man couldn’t bare the might of a Prophet and died. Also, the incident was before Hadrat Musa (as) was given Prophethood.
Allama Ismail Haqqi (ra) states, Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan The Egyptian was a belligerent Kaafir whose killing is not a crime. Hadrat Musa (as) killed only one Egyptian, but after some days passed, they all drowned.
Now remains his calling of this action “the work of Shaitaan”. ”This has occurred before its time. When the destruction of all Qibtees will come, this man too will be destroyed.”
‘Fa gafaralahu’ and ‘Zalamtu nafsi’ because these words are used for mistakes as well.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
