Religious discussions– A means

of retaining the government

          From time immemorial, politicians created division and conflict within a nation with the purpose of retaining their governance over them; and planned such strategies that made the people greedy for each other’s lives and kept them aloof of political issues and because of their ignorance, the politicians were able to rule them.

          As we said on anotheroccassion that according to a verse of the Holy Quran, this was the plot designed by Pharaoh for retaining his tyrant reign over the masses. After him, many other powerful tyrants have chosen to walk on the path of Pharaoh and ruled the people with the help of the conflicts initiated by them secretly.

          The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and the Leader of the Believers (a.s.), in contradiction to this treacherous plots, kept the people away from conflicts and disintegrations, and by regarding Quran and the Holy Progeny as the principal system, invited everyone towards the right path of faith; but the Umayyad progeny went on to instigate division between the people by breaking the principal system of Quran and the Holy Progeny in order to rule the people. Therefore, during their reign, different sects came into being and every group stood in opposition to the other and became ignorant of the governmental issues.
