St. John of Damascus: A Christian Scholar Dialogue on Islam

[idylls-of-the-divine-romance]

“It is okay — and in fact good and necessary — for members of a religion to engage with their religion in a esoteric and transgressive ways that are still healthy” and “Nonmembers of a religion should not use that religion and make jokes about that religion in ways that are disrespectful and churlish to the religion, its adherents, and its beliefs” are two statements that can and should be simultaneously believed.

A Bit of Positivity/Appreciation

As the war between Israel and Hamas continues and antisemitism and islamophobia maintain an upward trajectory, I want to create a space for some positivity and interfaith appreciation. To that end, I pose the following question: What is one element of your own religious culture that you wish more people knew about, and one aspect of another religious culture that you appreciate. Personally, I wish more people knew about the Jewish tradition of Hebrew microcalligraphy, in which traditional texts are handwritten in a small font in such a way that it creates a picture. My parents have a beautiful scene of a Passover seder comprised of the full text of the Haggadah (the collection of texts and prayers recited during the Passover meal). As for an element of another culture, I've always found traditional Muslim architecture to be so beautiful. I can't count how many photographs of mosques from around the world I've seen that leave me speechless in wonder and amazement.

The Hidden Threads of Divine Leadership: Unveiling the Consensus Fallacy

Across the tapestry of human history, a persistent thread weaves through diverse cultures and religions: the promise of divine leadership. Whether through prophecies or ancient symbols, the notion of a select few guiding humanity towards truth and justice has captivated hearts and minds. But beneath this universal theme lies a profound question: can the truth ever be dictated by consensus?

A Mosaic of Divine Guidance

In the biblical tradition, the 12 tribes of Israel stand as pillars of divine order, guiding the Children of Israel through their journey. This concept echoes in Christianity, where Jesus’ 12 apostles are seen as the custodians of his teachings. Each represents not only leadership but a divine mandate to continue the legacy of truth.

Similarly, in Islam, the lineage of the 12 Imams, beginning with Imam Ali (AS), embodies this divine guidance. This sacred line, revered as the protectors and interpreters of truth, fulfills a role anticipated by prophets before them.

The Enigmatic Queen of Nature

Turning to ancient Hindu Vedic texts, we encounter the intriguing symbol of the Queen of Nature or Devi. Adorned with a crown of 11 rubies—each symbolizing one of her sons—she represents a profound concept of divine authority. The crown itself, often interpreted as a symbol of supreme divine power, hints at a deeper narrative of divine leadership.

Could this imagery be more than mere symbolism? Might it reflect a universal archetype of divine rule that resonates across cultures? This parallel to the Islamic concept of Fatimah Zahra (SA), with Imam Ali (AS) as the crown and her 11 sons as the divine Imams, suggests a recurring theme in humanity's search for divine guidance.

The Buddhist Prophecy: The Awaited Maitreya

In Buddhism, the prophecy of the Maitreya, the future Buddha, foretells the arrival of a divine teacher who will restore righteousness and compassion. This awaited savior aligns with the Islamic belief in the Mahdi, the 12th Imam destined to reestablish justice. Both traditions share a vision of a final leader who will fulfill the promise of divine order.

Ghadeer Khum: The Moment of Revelation

The convergence of these ancient prophecies and symbols reached a decisive moment at Ghadeer Khum. Here, Prophet Muhammad (SAWW), under divine command, appointed Imam Ali (AS) as his successor. This declaration was not merely a political statement; it was the realization of a divine promise:

"For whomever I am his Mawla (master), Ali is his Mawla."

This event marked the culmination of a lineage of divine leadership, affirming the role of Imam Ali (AS) in a manner anticipated across various traditions.

The Consensus Illusion: When Majority Fails

Despite the clear declaration of truth at Ghadeer Khum, many chose to follow the majority rather than the appointed leader. This pivotal moment underscores a critical lesson: truth is often upheld by the few, while the many are swayed by consensus.

Islamic teachings caution against following the majority when it contradicts divine guidance. The Qur’an reminds us:

"And if you obey most of those on earth, they will lead you astray from the path of Allah” (6:116).

This verse highlights that truth is not a product of majority opinion but of divine instruction.

Unveiling the Truth Beyond Consensus

As we delve into the layers of ancient prophecies, symbols, and historical events, we uncover a timeless truth: consensus cannot form truth. The divine lineage of leadership—whether through the 12 chosen ones, the Queen of Nature, or the Imams—demonstrates that truth persists beyond the sway of the majority.

The legacy of Imam Ali (AS) and his 11 subsequent son Imams represents the fulfillment of this divine promise. Even when the majority turns away, the essence of truth remains steadfast, carried by those divinely appointed to lead. This reflection urges us to seek beyond the superficialities of consensus, to question deeply, and to follow the path illuminated by divine guidance, even if it means standing apart from the crowd.
