These ideas presented come form reading ansar books such as From Anis and new book of infaSo seeking refuge in Allah SWT and being obedient and trying to practice soldiers of light as mentioned by Ahmed a.s will lead us to high ranks of infallibility or protection as once again explained by Ansar from book of infallibility. No we know from history all Imams as.s sought refuge in Allah thru Dua constant prayer and selfless charity and support of the community with little concern for their onw comfort or safety and achieved high ranks of infallibility thus acting as our models. We also know form Moses that his rank of infallibility was variable, dependent on his piety and consciousness, . God is just so what we put in is what we receive, Sunnah of Allah is unchanging. Implication is we can gain in rank. Interestingly the chance often occurs in our most dark hour either when we think we are so special or some disaster strikes, look at Moses a.s. who thought he was the most wise but when he was made aware of Qaim a.s. of Ale Muhammad he sought him out to learn from him and realised he was not at this level, > This led him to more humility and more piety and therefore ascension in rank. So God loved Moses a.s. enough to save him , because as Said a.s. said Moses would have perished if he had died thinking he was of such elevated status. The net result was I am no better than a mangy dog because I do not know how the dog worships Allah SWT. Finally Nuh a.s asked God o punish the infidels and in then end he was saved with his few supporters after a long dawah. The ansar made a video to show that the angel was sent him in the form of a man and came to his pottery shop and bought all his clay pots. He then proceeded to smash them all and Nuh a.s. said why did you do this? The message is clear to show that God decides who is just and not and a warning to keep ourselves in check Boook of infallibilty helps explain Sheikh Al Mufeed said in Awael Al Maqalat (Discussing infallibility, what is it? I say: In the principles of language, Infallibility is what the human seeks refuge/ protection/ safeguarding by from something else, as if he prevented himself by it, from falling into that which he hates, and it is not from the categories of action like their saying: (Person x sought refuge by the Mountain) i.e. prevented/protected himself by it (from object y)...... And Infallibility from Allah swt is the divine success that the human is safeguarded by from that which he hates, IF he came forth with obedience. And that is like us giving a drowning man a rope to hold unto so that he can survive, so if he holds unto it and seeks refuge by it, that thing is called infallibility for him when he held onto it and salvaged himself by it, and if he did not hold unto it he would have not been saved (infallibility), and thus is the course of grace. Verily if the human obeys, that is called (Success) and infallibility, and if he did not obey, that would not be called success or infallibility. Allah swt clarified this meaning in his book: And hold unto the rope of Allah swt all together 3:103, and the rope of Allah swt is his religion, do you not see that in abiding by his command, they are safeguarded from falling into his punishment, so their holding unto his command and matter became a safeguarding (i.e. cause for infallibility). And the grace of Allah swt in their obedience became a safeguarding; for all the believers from the angels, Prophets, and Imams are made infallible , due to their holding unto the obedience of Allah swt )- Awael A Maqalat, Sheikh Mufeed, Vol. 4 P. 134. - . ١- أوابل المقالات الشٌخ المفٌد: ج ص ٗ ١٣٤
