[Music] [Music] now a quick objection here you referred to it what do you say about today the Imam is in occultation we we do believe that God has assigned a leader for us as we shall examine but he's an occultation who is filling that void and Gap during the of the IM see our argument in the school of is that the imams of in those two centuries after the prophet they had 200 years more than 200 years of time to explain the details of Islamic laws and Islamic beliefs to raise a generation of Scholars who
would convey those truths to us what whereas the prophet sallallahu alaihi did not have the opportunity in 10 years of Medina to do that how much could you do in 10 years with all those problems in fact most Muslims became Muslim one the last two years of the prophet's life after after the conquest of Mecca in two years you're going to build Scholars you're going to raise Scholars it's impossible that's absolutely impossible whereas the IMs of had two centuries yes there are some differences amongst the mar and Scholars when it comes to some legal matters
but look at the core of Faith the belief in Allah the Oneness of God the attributes IM the day of judgment 99% agreement that's valid 95% it's an agreement 5% difference that's valid that's a valid system we're not saying we have to have 100% of the truth remember God is also testing us and that's part of the test when it comes to legal matters if you pick up the the book of rulings for I know there are some differences the scholars have right with when it comes to citing the moon some other issues but when
you look at the thousands of rules they've discussed 5,000 rules 4,000 rulings what percentage of these rulings do they disagree with what do you think give me an educated guess 5% 5% exactly probably even less than 5% 5% difference that means 95% they're in agreement that is a system that works that's fine logically rationally you'll accept a system that gives you 95% the same results maybe 5% differences that's okay see that is a qualified system to give you the truth but when you want to open the path for the entire um since the day of
the Prophet sallallah Al and all the sah had different opinions and different and you just want to see the T of one verse you've got 30 conflicting opinions what do you do that's not a that's that's not a qualified system but when it comes to the path of B within the school of B within the system that they have given us the differences are very little they're very minor so there's a lot to discuss about this but briefly this is how we would answer to that objection that look and the end at the system overall
it's a working system that's giving you 95% the same results and that's fine and you have 5% differences that's okay just like in any professional field you have some differences here and there that's that's okay therefore we need someone to fulfill the role of that Prophet it cannot be the umah they cannot fulfill that role hence in onei says he says oh Allah it's impossible for the earth to be void of your of your proof a human being who serves as your proof either this is visibly present we have access to them we can see
them oh this person is an occultation but in the end we need God's on Earth so that the proofs of God remain valid we have someone here on Earth physically present on Earth to serve as the source of guidance that's extremely important to have someone physically here on Earth you know we all believe in the ERS of the devil right the Holy Quran talks about it the Devil is a physical being who's from the Jin of course who acts upon us so we deviate the justice of Allah necessitates that there's also a physical being who
the IM who represents the source of guidance and he counter acts the effects of the devil the counters that that's necessary for a physical being to be here on Earth [Music]
