Majlis 23 - The mu’mins are forbidden from Finding fault with the Imam
God says, “Do what the Prophet wants you to do and keep away from what he forbids you from doing”. (59:7) To obey the commands and the prohibitions of the Prophet in Toto is enjoined on us by God. It is an act of devotion of him. God has linked our devotion to him with our devotion to the Imams. Lip-profession of devotion in words ceases to be a devotion unless it is prompted by conviction and is followed by practice. To criticize the Prophet or to pry into his affairs or to show disapproval of his actions in words or in thoughts is abominable. It is strictly prohibited by God who through His holy book as enjoined on us all to submit ourselves to his will. The holy Imams occupy a similar position. They are the representatives of the Prophet on earth and our devotion to them is a devotion to the Prophet.
