We always try to convince the whole world that who is the imam or who is not the imam. We always fight on this thing. Even in Muslims each group praise his own Imam. Sunni divided into four Imams and Shia believe in twelve imams.But we forgot that verse of Holy Quran in which Allah clearly mentioned who is the imam of the men and what kind of qualities should lie in the imam.Kindly read the following verse and then discuss the verse:
"And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely i will make you an imam of men. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does not include the unjust, said He."
(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 124)
Allah in the above mentioned verse of the Holy Quran informed us that He choose the Ibrahim as imam of men because Allah examine the Ibrahim with certain words; Ibrahim with the blessing of Allah fulfill all those thing and in the reward Allah choose him as the imam of men. So one thing is clear that the only imam of the men will those who abide all the communication of Allah without any question. Who bow his head in front of only One Allah.
If you will not obey the communication of Allah and His prophet then you are not illegible to become the imam of the world. We created the imams and then start worshiping them. We relate such things with their personality which is contradict with the communication of Allah. Allah informed us that all those who claim against His book are not correct. The path is only one and that is Quran all those things which are against the Allah not only ruined the religion but also the lives of the people.
Allah informed us one more thing that the children of some apostle or sacred person will not be the criteria for the imam of men. When Ibrahim asked this question from His Lord that will his offspring be the imam of men. Allah replied that this covenant does not include the unjust. All those who are unjust will not be the imam of the men. But what we see in the practical life, we make the different kind of imam which are not only rule on us but also make our life miserable.
