THE NEED FOR INTERMEDIARIES BY HASHIM MUHAMMAD


I saw this post by a friend and I will like to share it with you. It was written by a friend Hashim Mohammed please enjoy:

I was discussing with my friend on religious stuffs and how humans are lazy in the pursuit of knowledge for the truth in religion as the Almighty has ordered for proper guidance than listening to humans like them who end up misleading many, He said to me, people believe in that which they can see that is why we have intermediaries, those who come as prophets, pastors, sheikhs,popes, uztaz, imams. They believe in these people to pray for them and connect them with GOD. But then I told him about the man in the bible who was close to GOD's own heart, the man with plenty concubines, he prayed for forgiveness by himself to GOD and he was forgiven because what GOD wants is that sincere intention of remorse and repentance, NO intermediary can place himself in that position of you when they pray. But then it later occurred to me that humans are not just lazy but callous in their ways , because they can ask the intermediary to pray for them but no one ask another to come help sleep with his or her spouse to produce children. Moral of the story, GOD has no secretary HE is the only ONE you should pray to, the other man is not a better person than you are.
