Ali in the Quran Part 1
Quran: Chapter 5, verse 15:
يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَڪُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ ڪَثِيرً۬ا مِّمَّا ڪُنتُمۡ تُخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبِ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَن ڪَثِيرٍ۬ۚ قَدۡ جَآءَڪُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌ۬ وَڪِتَـٰبٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬ (١٥)
O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which ye used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now hath come unto you light from Allah and plain Scripture, (15)
There are 2 things which Allah sent, Light and Plain scripture. Before the verse we are quiet definite of whom the light is, or what it is being referred to? Prophet Muhammed (saws), he is the Light, which Allah is talking about here in this ayat. But that Light is also Imam Al-Ali (as) I say with 100% surety. Because Zakir Naik says: Hold on tight to the rope of Allah, that rope of Allah in Chapter 3, verse 103, is the Quran, and the authentic Aahdith.
So if I take his words, and apply it to this verse. Prophet's very authentic Hadith is:
The Prophet (s) said, “Ali (a) is from me and I am from him, and he is the protector of every true believer after me.” Ibn Al-Maghazeli, 69; Yanabi^ Al-Mawda, 125.
The Prophet (s) said, “No one can give account of me but Ali (a).” Ibn Al-Maghazeli, 119, 242; Al-Riyadh Al-Nudhra, 2/177; Yanabi^ Al-Mawda, 112, 419; Al-Khawarizmi, 253.
The Prophet (s) said, “We were created from the same tree, I and Ali (a).” Al-Tirmidhi, 13/178; Ibn Al-Maghazeli, 122; Asad Al-Ghaba, 4/26; Al-Riyadh Al-Nudhra, 2/216.
These 3 Ahadith here, clearly show,how much the Prophet loves Ali, and also how close Ali is to Muhammed (saws). Examining the first Ahadith and applying it; Ali is from me and I'm from him.
These 2 are from one another, they will both speak the words of God, they will both follow the true path, the true Islam. In other words, there is the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammed (saws) which says: Ali and I were made from the same noor, Ali and I are 1 life but 2 souls - though same noor.
And mind you this is very authentic, from Bukhari to Muslim, from Hakim-Mustadrak to Al-Tirmidhi etc...
So if we apply that on to this verse, isn't (along with the Prophet (s)), that Light Ali too?
Of course that light is Ali, because we have authentically and beautifully proved it here, from the Ahadith of the Rasool, that yes, this light from Allah revealed along the Plain Scripture is Ali as well as Muhammed! By Allah that is the true meaning of this verse.
"Scripture" used in this verse also indicates Imam Al-Ali (as). Ask how? We all know for sure, or at least have an idea, that this "Scripture" is nothing but the the Holy Quran of Allah. The Quran speaks the truth, it can only guide, and not let someone go astray... So, coming to the point, how is that Scripture, Ali?
Let's continue with the strategy of Zakir Naik, and refer to authentic Ahadith as well of the Prophet (saws).
The Prophet (s) said, “Ali (a) is with the Qur’an, and the Qur’an is with Ali.” Al-Bukhari, 5/19; Muslim, 2/360; Al-Tirmidhi, 5/304; Mustadrak Al-Sahihain of Al-Hakim Al-Nisabori, 3/109; Ibn Majah, 1/28; Musnad Ahmad, 3/328.
There you go... Question answered, that "Scripture", as well as being the Quran, is Ali too! Which also means, Ali can never lie, he will only guide, and will not let anyone go astray if someone comes for its guidance.
