The ones who are disputers mention the following claim against the following Quran verse: “Those who disbelieve have this day despaired of your religion. Do not fear them, but fear Me. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion. (As for) he who does not intend to commit a sin but is constrained by hunger to eat of what is forbidden, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”: 1. In the verse, there is an evident indication that most of the companions of the prophet (PBUH&HF) were true believers and that their faith had led the unbelievers to be desperate from fighting the monotheists. 2. In the holy verse, there is a rejection or a refutation that it was revealed on favor of Imam Ali (PBUH). If it indicates the Imamate (leadership) or the representativeness, how come believers renegade from the religion? And where is the despair if the aim of apostasy was achieved after the verse in about four months?
Answer
A/ 1. In the name of Allah, the verse refers to the completion of the religion in terms of its branches and fundamentals in a way that there is no defect or shortage or even ambiguity which might lead the infidels to question the religion. This is evident in the part of the verse “today, I have completed your religion for you”. Additionally, it is the same way the chapter of Al-Munafiqen is interpreted as well as what is indicated in the chapter of Al-Juma’a “if they see a business or amusement, they will quickly rush to it, leaving you alone”. Furthermore, it is the reason behind the escape of a large number at the time of wars and rejecting to pledge homage to the representative of Allah and breaking their promise that they would not escape. Allah knows best. A/2. In the name of Allah, the apostasy happened as it happened to the people of Israel after they went out of the sea and passed by a village whose residents used to worship the idols. They asked Muses (PBUH) to make them a god like that of the villagers’. It also happened as it happened to the same people when Muses (PBUH) was on the mountain of Toor for invocation and was late for days and they kept worshiping the calf. Afterward, Allah openly says as the apostasy happened “If he dies or is killed, will you turn about on your heels?”. Allah is the all Guide and Knowing.
