Re: hierarchy dilemma
Hierarchy of Da'wat mandates the position of Mansus as higher than that of Ma'zoon or Mukasir because the Mansus acts as deputy of the Da'i expressly and actively i.e. even if the Da'i is present whereas the Mazoon/Mukasir act as deputies only in the absence of the Da'i i.e. if the Da'i is on Hajj ...

Re: Poetry on Maula Ali
Actually, no one denies Taawil. Taawil that leads to idol worshipping is to be denied as indicated by the Quran itself. If the taawil says that the face refers to the face of Ali, then it needs to be rejected. If Taawil suggests that "face" is just a metaphor for the entire being used sim...

Re: Poetry on Maula Ali
But the problem I find with Wahhabis is that they generally cannot take any praise for Ahlul bayt. They have this mental block that if Ahlul bayt is praised more, the 3 Shaikheen and the 'starry' companions will pale in comparison. Salafi school of thought generally does not allow praise of any hum...

This is poetry. Not a Firmaan that you are understanding it to be issued by a Diwan (Portfolio) of Ali AS. In poetry, there is a strong connection of literature and literary similies, metaphors etc. Therefore you can tone down on the literal meanings regarding them official titles. So in short, you...
