Anybody who was elected as a caliph after Rasulllah doesnt make any difference.. why are the syiah so ambitious about Ali ? being a caliph is not like being a prophet !! none of the 4 caliph will ever be.. so what ? it was just an election to choose a leader for the ummah .. whats the big deal ? anybody capable among those 4 could be chosen,.. it just happened that Abubakr was the most senior and wiser and had all the capacity to be a leader compared to the other 3 and from lots of signs along the way he was always the one appointed by Rasulullah to do anything in his place.. so naturally he stood first in line.. soooo normal.. but why do the syiah twist and turn everything just to make Ali RA the only person capable to be the leader and only wanted his progeny to be the caliph ? dont they know that Rasulullah did not build a kingdom ? .. and then eventually Allah SWT gave him the chance to be a caliph , so be it.. Qadarullah.. and unbelievably that group being so vengeance throughout all these times simply over that matter as to split the ummah to their satisfaction.. what kind of Islam is that ? filled with hatred and anger to all of the three Caliphs that Rasulullah loved dearly in his lifetime ... ambition and politics really blinds everything.. so we should seek refuge in Allah from these non Sunni group .. !! .. Naudzubillah..

[@truthseekerBVC]

yussy dewi I don't get this dynastic comparison that you have a problem with. Notwithstanding other issues, you don't seem to be accusing Allah of being pro-dynasty when all his major Prophets being from a single lineage? You don't seem to shout 'unfair' or 'dynastic' when Prophet Adam, Sheeth, Nuh, Ibrahim, Ismaeel, Ishaq, Musa, Haroon, Isa and our Prophet Muhammad (S) are all from one Golden Lineage? They were all noblemen from noble tribes from one family? Moreover I don't get how you can be completely cool with the 'Guardians of the Two Holy Mosques' and their super-dynastic kingly rule :')

[@ydw8405]

Ahmad Husaini i think you didnt get what i meant.. that dynastic comparison was not for the lineage of all of the other Prophets, astaghfirullah.. but it was for what the Shiah are so so much into that they dare to split the ummah just because of wanting the ahlul bait to become a caliph.. of course nothing wrong with that, but since Rasulullah never ever appointed anyone explicitly to be a caliph after him, while he has implied several times that he preferred Abubakr to always replace him whenever there was a time or a situation that he was not able to perform .. stating that i was accusing Allah pro dynasty because of the other prophets lineage history just showed you didnt understand the situation correctly, youre giving the example of prophets lineage being prophets again, but the case here is different, its not about replacing a prophet with another prophet.. LOL.. our Prophet is the last Prophet , remember?? .. to get it clear, our Prophet Muhammad pbuh is a Prophet and also the leader of the ummah in governmental affairs, he has a city, a country under his control, unlike other prophets who had just been a religious leader .. so whoever replaced our prophet could only replace him as a leader in the affairs of the ummah, be it of religious or governmental affairs and was never meant to replace him as a prophet..!! so its a dunia thing ! .. in that case, it has nothing to do with ahlul bait.. well , if there was an ahlul bait candidate better than Abubkr of course it would have been prioritized, all the four sahabas were qualified, but being who Abubkr r.a was in seniority and the obvious implied preferences that Rasulullah has shown towards Abubkr, what can you say? Ali was in his late 30's while the other sahaba was his seniors, and at his time finally Ali r.a he became the caliph., Qadarullah .. so the big question is , why should somebody be so enraged by that dunia leader thing so as to divide the ummah ? dont they understand Qadar of Allah ?? what was so important about splitting from the rest of the ummah for a non theological thing ? and then go even further by inventing all the unbelievable things that was never taught by Rasulullah , e.g the 12 imams etc etc.. what is all this ?? .. fyi, Hassan was never as important to the shiah as Hussein was just simply because Hussein was married to Shahrbanu, the sassanid princess , the daughter of Yazdegard the last emperor of Sassanid empire of Persia , and making Hussein's death as a reason to commemorate and worship his death with all of those never ending ceremonies filled with all kinds of hatred for 1500 years.. whilst even the death of Rasulullah has never been commemorated and worshipped with any kind of ceremonies.. Astaghfirullah.. what a bizarre religion !!.. so you see now why it was very very important for the Shias to make the dunia leader to be a lineage thing ?? it was all about politics and not at all about theology.. Astaghfirullah.. !! may Allah protects us from those people who diverted the teachings of Rasulullah, the messsenger of Allah.. Aamiin ..

[@ydw8405]

Ahmad Husaini and about " the Guardians of the two Holy Mosques," well.. they are Kingdoms , they are Kings of a Country, just like the Kingdoms of other Countries in this world.. what else is there to say ? Do you consider them to be in the same level as the Caliphs in the era of Abu bkr ra until Ali ra ? .. such a pity, you're taking it out of context.. imho , after Ali r.a there is no more caliphate as it was in the era of the 4 sahaba , and then it was replaced by Caliphs acting as Kings .. so, there is no Islam caliphate in our time, wake up! .. what we have now are kingdoms and thats a whole different thing..

[@irenenessa6888]

Same here! I don't see what the big deal is? its not like further Quran was revealed to them or we follow the ways of any shabha! Of course i love and respect Ahlul Bayt.

[@hifzurrahmanchoudhury6663]

Did rasulAllah (SAS) really not chose his successor? Please go through the sahih hadith of Khum al ghadir. you will get the answer.

If we view history from our sectarian bias then we will never get near the truth. Only by taking away the sectaran blindfolds will we have any chance of genuinely assessing the blessed lives of the pious predecessors

[@islamicdefender2941]

What do u mean sectarian bias? Cuz I'm having a problem trusting the history of Islam and i want to trust it I'm just having a hard time

[@ydw8405]

syiah insisting that Ali Ra should have been the caliph because he was the ahlul bait makes it as if its a kingdom.. so pity.. dragging down Rasulullah SAW to be just like a king is very humiliating.. !!

[@dinosahatqiu3833]

Something I don't get it. You said everybody individually pray over Prophet's jenaza , because there wasn't a caliph to lead the prayer , now you said on Tuesday they choose Abu Bakr . Why Abu Bakr didn't lead the prayer right before they buried Prophet. I think this is not true, the Prophet was buried on Monday before Abu Bakr was chosen as a caliph

[@thaselnuman4239]

+dino sahatqiu the Prophet SAW was sick for ten days. Some say the sickness started on the 1st other say it was on the 2nd. If you take the opinion if the 1st then he was most probably buried on Monday. If you take the 2nd then he was buried on Tuesday. As he always says reconstructing the seerah is a big challenge since almost nothing was chronological reported.

[@syedalihassan8349]

Even if you say that earliest of the batches are the best then Ali ibne Talib A.S was the first male muslim. So your arguement is invalid.

[@DTES1]

why so much jelousy towards Ali? why boghs of Ali? when Abubakr is safe beside the Prophet in the ghar Ali is taking all the heat ,and sleeping in Prophets bed.

[@jahanzebbutt144]

For sure you are right Ali ra put his life in great danger by sleeping in the prophet pbuh bed but what u missed is that Abu bakr ra accompanied the prophet pbuh all the way on the Hijra from Makkah to Madinah and at that time Muhammad saw was the most wanted man in Makkah there was a prize of 100 camels ( A huge fortune at the time) on his head he was wanted dead or alive. So Abu bakr actually took the bigger risk accompanying the prophet pbuh on the hijra because of how many people were after the the prophet pbuh to kill him whereas for Ali ra yes he could've died but once the people saw that its Ali ra sleeping in the bed of the prophet pbuh they would've left him. Peace.

[@believeitornot7786]

Why so much contradictions regarding the issue of khalifa Allah swt made us the ummah of the great prophet v need to give lots of thanks to Allah swt n always remember the teachings of our prophet he always wanted to maintain peace n healthy relationship who is above whom is always better known to Allah rabbul izzat ok so stop creating demarcations n try to hold the rope of Allah swt tightly n get urself educated from The Kitabullah

[@omarc1419]

This not the fundamental pilers of Islam This are political,Allah put the right leader in charge, Alhamdou lillah.Why still?
