Take a murder case, for instance. If it is attributed to Allah’s knowledge, it would refer to the time
of death. But when it is attributed to a human being, the murder is proved. And the murderer would be
subject to its consequences. Besides, the murdered person is a dead body from its own point of view.
But from our point of view, it is a changed reality. (The Tauzeeh argument ends here).
If the statement of the commandment is considered in relation to Allah as abrogated, it is
tantamount to saying that Allah’s knowledge is transitory and not eternal. However, Allah’s knowledge
is sacred and not subject to change. Hence, to a person who knows the will of Allah, no Quranic Verse
remains abrogated. But, to a person who does not know the will of Allah, some of the Quranic Verses
appear to be abrogated and some others abrogating.
In short, to the group of persons who know the will of Allah (like the Mahdavis), no part of Quran is
abrogated. Hence, the Imam called persons who avoided migration as hypocrites (munafiqs).
The Hadith relating to the case of Ka’b Bin Malik has reported in detail by Muslim 20 and Bukhari 21
and I give a summary of it here:
Ka’b says that he did not join Prophet Muhammad SAS in the battles of Badr 22 and Tabuk 23 and had
participated in all other wars. The Prophet SAS had not remonstrated those who had not joined him in the
battle of Badr. But when he returned from the battle of Tabuk, he went to the mosque and said his
prayers of thanks-giving. Soon after, people who did not participate in the battle came and made their
excuses. They were more than 80 in number. Prophet Muhammad SAS pardoned them. Then Ka’b went
and greeted him, he responded with a smile but appeared to be very angry. He ordered that nobody
should even talk to Ka’b. Ka’b was alone. It looked as if nobody knew him; nobody would talk to him or
take notice of his presence, even if he roamed the marketplace. One day Ka’b climbed the wall of his
Cousin Abi Qatada’s house and greeted him. There was no response. Some forty days after the ban, an
emissary of the Prophet told him that the Prophet had ordered him to stay away from his wife. Ka’b sent
his wife to her parents’ house. Some ten days after this, a person called Ka’b and said: “Good News. The
Prophet has permitted you to repent.”
Nowawi says this Hadith had highlighted 27 important points. The tenth point is that the excuses of
the hypocrites were accepted. The eleventh point is that it was desirable to ostracise the defaulters to
chastise them.
This shows that a person who avoids migration is a hypocrite and deserves punishment; he should
be ostracized and separated from his wife.
In short, Imam Mahdi AS resorted to migration on the basis of the Quranic Verse quoted above.
The Imam AS chooses to migrate. He declared he was Mahdi. And he concentrated on reforming and
guiding the people. He always showered the divine light of Allah’s blessings on his followers and
disciples.
