Imam Ali (a.s) said: ‘… Beware of interpreting the Qur’an according to your opinion until you understand it from the scholars/knowledgeable Ones (The Prophets a.s and Imams a.s’ [6], for perhaps it looks similar to the speech of human beings but it is the speech of Allah and its interpretation is not similar to the interpretation of the speech of human beings, just as no one from His creation is similar to Him, as such, nothing from the works/actions of Allah (SWT/The Blessed, The Exalted) is similar to anything from the works/actions of human beings, and nothing from His speech is similar to the speech of human beings, for the speech of Allah (The Blessed, The Exalted) is His description/attribute, and the speech of humans is their actions/works. So never make the speech of Allah similar to the speech of the Humans, [or else] you will be ruined and misguided.) [7]. Al-Tawheed – Sheikh Al-Sudouq: page 246. Al-Burhan: volume 1, page 46. the Shia, because of the Imams and [the fact that the Imams] were fighting distortion/corruption, some of the non- working scholars were not able to drag the religion to a straightforward paganism, however, they were able to maneuver/twist [truths], so much so until they returned paganism back in another image through making idols out of the scholars of misguidance, whom have become today unfortunately an idol worshiped without Allah by the innovation of the belief of Taqlid ([imitating scholars]), so that they may make people be driven towards them like animals, without thinking or searching for the truth of that which [the scholars of misguidance] claim and issue Fatwas about and legislate and distort from the Book, and they place pagan beliefs which Allah has never sent any authority for. And the Imams (PBUT) have prohibited following any other than the Infallible, just as was prohibited by the Prophets and Vicegerents (pbut) before them, and they have clarified that TaqlId [imitating] other than the infallible is a pagan path which was taken by the scholars of misguidance in the Jewish nation in the past after the prophets (pbut), and they have prohibited their Shia from following those whom take the Jewish Pagan Corrupted path. Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Beware of Imitating (Taqlid), for whoever imitates in his religion then he has been ruined/damned. Allah (swt) says: {They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah} and by Allah, they did not pray nor did they fast for them, but they made Halal (permissible) to them that which is Haram (forbidden), and they made Haram (forbidden) that which is Halal (permissible), so [the people] imitated them in that, thus, they have worshiped them without feeling [that they are doing so]” Tashih Al’Itiqad – by Sheikh Al- Mufeed, page 73
