Is Imam Allah? ([b]By Ali Raza shallwani[/b])

[tasbiha]

"Then when last in Bombay 8 years ago, many of our people came to me and requested me to add just one word in Dua, and then, they said everything was alright. I said, "What is that one word?" They said, "Instead of 'Ali Allah', say 'Ali-un-walli-Allah'." So I said, "You better drop the whole Dua if you want to alter that word. You are ignorant. It is your ignorance and not that "Ali Allah" is wrong."


Ali = Most High
Allah = God, or Omnipresent Holy Spirit

This is basic stuff. Get out your books on the 99 names of Allah.

I do not think that Ali is meant in its technical etymological sense. Rather it is meant in the generic sense of representing the concept of Imamat. It could have been the name of any Imam for that matter.

What the Imam is telling us here is that Imam is Allah echoing the sentiments expressed in the various discussions under "Is Hazar Imam God".
