What is meant by Universal Authorization (Wilaya Takweenyia) and what are its limits? And what is meant by…

Answer

In the name of Allah: The logical universal authorization upon which the evidence of the infallibles' (PBUH) right was based is the ability to control the creatures formatively. That is, the ability to change rocks into gold and to make pebbles speak like what the Messenger (PBUH&HF) did. It is also narrated that this happened with some prophets (PBUH) like transferring sticks into snakes. All that was done miraculously or as blessings from Allah on the hands of the infallible (PBUH), for Allah has granted him the ability to make a miracle which is done after taking permission from Allah. Or Allah may do the miracle after the infallible (PBUH) askes or prays to Allah. The universal authorization does not mean, as confused by some, that Allah retired (May Allah forbid) and the infallibles (PBUH) has taken the guardianship to administrate this world. There is the worst thing to say. Isn’t Allah their Creator and Provider when they were in their mothers' wombs?
