Servant of Imam Madhi as asked 2 years ago

Salam,
I asked this question before but my question was not clear that time. If you could please help me with this question. In Quran Allah says “We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape…” (15:26). I have heard in many majlis that in this verse by “we” Allah refers to himself and  Imam Ali. Because  imam Ali formed the clay and moulded into shape by using his hands.
But some people say that this verse is only about Allah and Imam Ali or Alhybait are not included. But today in Majlis At Al khoei i heard from Allama himself that he said “Hazrat Ali is the one who moulded the clay of hazrat adam.  I’m just very confused

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

We hope this answer reaches you in good health and Islamic spirit.

Based on your specific question and information provided.

For detailed study/understanding of Principles of Faith ( Usual al-Din) / Aqeeda or questions / inquires which are Not directly related to  Fiqh/Jurisprudence(Law).

You can speak to the  qualified Islamic Scholars  in person or refer to the various books by qualified Islamic Scholars on Principles of Faith ( Usual al-Din) / Aqeeda or  Tafsir / Exegesis of the Holy Qur’an or  Nahj al-Balagha or Ziyarats ( for example – Ziyarat Warisa).

Ahl al-Bayth (as) are the People of the Hadith of al-Kisa and the nine infallible Imams(as).

Taqlid is not Obligatory in Principles of Faith ( Usual al-Din) / Aqeeda.. “A Muslim’s belief in the fundamentals of religion (uṣūl al‑dīn) must be based on personal insight [i.e. grounded in reason], and he cannot follow anyone in the fundamentals of religion; i.e. he cannot accept the word of someone who knows about the fundamentals of religion simply because that person says so.”

Regarding what you hear in a Majlis ( Lecture ), delivered by any Scholar. These are Not Fiqh / Jurisprudence / law Sermons. These are mostly Conceptual Lectures. Scholars deliver statements or mention Concepts  or poetry with a Context. It is Obligatory on the attendee to ask the Scholar, who delivered the Majlis ( Lecture) to clarify any Concept or statement or poetic verse. Most Scholars stay after the Majlis / Lecture so we suggest you ask the question and get clarification from them, so you can understand the concept and in which context it was delivered. If the Scholar feels that something needs further clarification he may clarify in the next lecture, so it may benefit others who may need clarification or understand the proper context of the statement.

اَللّٰهُ أَعْلَم‎
(and Allah(awj) Knows best)
