Kullo arzin karbala6/19/2023 ![]() Now Chingiz Khan lost all patience and his eyes filled with blood. `Alau’d-Din, who was mad with power and authority, did not pay any heed, and acting short-sightedly killed even the plenipotentiary of Chingiz Khan. He sent word to `Alau’d-Din to return the goods of the Tartar merchants and to hand over to him the ruler of Atrar. When Chingiz Khan learnt of the breach of the agreement and the killing of Tartar merchants his eyes cast forth flames and he began trembling with rage. For some time they traded freely without fear but on one occasion `Alau’d-Din accused them of spying, seized their goods and had them killed by the Chief of Atrar. When his authority was established he offered his terms of settlement to `Alau’d-Din Khwarazm Shah, ruler of the neighbouring country of Turkistan, and through a deputation concluded an agreement with him that the Tartar traders would be allowed to visit his country for trade and their life and property would not be subject to any harm. This wrong-doing was the dictate of their hearts and so they trod upon it, although we had stipulated that in arbitrating with justice and sticking to rightfulness they would avoid the evil of their own views and the mischief of their own verdict (but since this has happened the award is not acceptable to us). Your own group had unanimously suggested in favour of these two men and we bound them that they would not exceed the Qur’an but they deviated from it and abandoned the right although both of them were conversant with it. May you have no father! (Woe to you), I did not cause you any misfortune, nor have I deceived you in any matter, nor created any confusion. If the Qur’an drives us to them we should follow them, and if it drives them to us they should follow up. Revival means to unite on it (in a matter) and destruction means to divide on a matter. Certainly the two arbitrators were appointed to revive what the Qur’an revives and to destroy what the Qur’an destroys. Thus the Prophet (PBUH) took them to ask for their sins and also abided by Allah’s commands about them, but did not disallow them their rights created by Islam, nor did he remove their names from its followers.īeware whoever calls to this course, kill him, even though he may be under this headband of mine. He amputated (the hand of) the thief and whipped the unprotected (unmarried) adulterer, but thereafter allowed their shares from the booty, and they married Muslim women. He killed the murderer and allowed his successors to inherit from him. You know that the Prophet (PBUH) stoned the protected (married) adulterer, then he also said his burial prayer and allowed his successors to inherit from him. You are confusing those who have committed sins with those who have not. You are holding your swords on your shoulders and using them right and wrong. If you do not stop believing that I have gone wrong and been misled, why do you consider that the common men among the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p.) have gone astray like me, and accuse them with my wrong, and hold them unbelievers on account of my sins. ![]()
