🌿 When False Leaders Claim Divine Legitimacy 🌿

“And when they commit an indecency, they say: ‘We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has commanded us to do it.’ Say: Indeed, Allah does not command indecency. Do you say about Allah what you do not know?”
(Qur’an 7:28)

💭 Humanity’s oldest excuse for corruption is imitation — “We found our fathers doing it.”
But in this verse, Allah exposes a deeper deceit: people not only justify wrongdoing by tradition, but also falsely attribute their sins to divine command.

📜 Imam Musa al-Kāẓim (peace be upon him) explained:

“Have you ever seen anyone who claims that Allah has commanded adultery, drinking wine, or any of these forbidden acts?”

I said, “No.”

The Imam replied: “Then the ‘indecency’ referred to here is not those acts — it is the false claim of tyrannical rulers who said that Allah had ordered them to appoint leaders whom He did not appoint. They lied against Allah, and this false claim was the indecency (fāḥishah) He condemned.”
(Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 78 | al-Kāfī, vol. 1, p. 373 | Biḥār al-Anwār)

⚖️ This verse and hadith unveil a profound spiritual warning:
When leadership and authority are detached from divine will, when people justify illegitimate rule or deviation in God’s name, that is the greatest corruption — the fāḥishah of false Imamate.

🕊️ Truth and purity lie in following the Imams appointed by Allah — those who continue the path of truth and justice through divine guidance.
In every age, there are those who claim holiness for worldly power. The believer must discern — not by ancestry or popularity, but by truth revealed through divine authority.

🌸 Allah never commands injustice. He commands truth, purity, and rightful guidance.
