In Iran there are many unknown shrines that Shiite cult of Muslims ascribe them to descendants of Mohammad. Whereas Muslims invaded Iran in Sasanid era, maybe some of these shrines belong to Mohammad offspring (If he had any at all).Shiites like ancient times that people gave gift to gods, go to these shrines and cook some foods and distribute it among themselves with the hope that Allah will fulfill their prayer. They believe that descendants of Mohammad had been innocent, so if they ask the souls of these descendants of Mohammad to plead Allah on behalf of them, Allah will fulfill their prayer sooner.
In view of Shiites, Allah needs a broker or a mediator to hear his creatures plead for help. Is Allah still an omniscient, all-powerful, benevolent, and consistent if he fulfills our prayer by means of a mediator or without interference of any humankind?
If Allah fulfills our prayer, then our will is superior to his will. Allah forgets his will and accepts our wills. In other word, we can impose our demand on God. Allah like a servant obeys our commands. The difference is that we don’t order harshly, but by pleading and crying and asking a broker to speak on behalf of us.
Is Allah omniscient while he knows what I need, but he destines me to something else? Should we tell Allah what he has predetermined was false? Dose it mean that Allah some times do some mistake in his decision if he changes his mind and cure my disease after I pray for him? I think Allah is ambivalent while he changes his mind for pleading of a human. The system of cause and effect will be meaningless if saying prayer to Allah causes any event. We grease God’s palms, and then god changes his mind and a patient with an incurable illness become healthy. We cannot rely on any scientific research, because there is the possibility of a change in God’s opinion. Is Allah full of complex that his servants should plead him to change his mind, while he knows everything about us? How can Allah be an omniscient while he changes his mind? How can he be consistent while pleading affects him? How can he be a benevolent while he predetermines something for us that are not suitable for us? Do we realize our situation better than he dose?
Mohammad had a blind comrade. Ali’s brother was blind also. If God listen to innocent pleading, better than common people, then why Allah didn’t cure these buddies of Mohammad. Why Shiites expect that Allah by help of a mediator will listen to them, while these innocent couldn’t do any thing for their relatives? While these innocents were alive couldn’t do anything for their dear ones. Then how their soul can plead for people who they don’t have any feeling toward them?
Conclusion:
If Allah fulfills our demand by saying prayer, then he cannot be omniscient, benevolent, all-powerful, and consistent. This God doesn’t deserve worship.
