He removed these burdens and shackles from His believing servants according to the saying of the Almighty:
{And He is ever Merciful to the believers} (Al-Ahzab: 43).
And the saying of the Almighty:
{Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves} (Al-Fath: 29).
Allah (Glory be to Him) did not obligate them to establish these outward forms, nor did He plot against them with inward sciences and other things—such as praising the leaders of tyranny and misguidance and blaming those believers who exceeded the bounds openly regarding the Imams of Guidance—except after their rejection, denial, and insistence upon their disbelief from all aspects. The Almighty said:
{And they plotted, and Allah plotted. And Allah is the best of plotters} (Al-Imran: 54).
Meaning, they plotted, so Allah punished them for their plotting with its like, and your Lord does not wrong anyone. The beasts were not deprived of the knowledge of the Truth and Reality except because they [the humans who became beasts] denied it in the human state.
