In The Name Of Allah The Almighty The All Beneficent The All Merciful
#Afuni kindly let's talk something about tragedy death of last & final
prophet In 632 the Prophet became ill and died. Muhammad's role as God's
messenger was the basis of his political and military authority. The
earliest sources agree that on his deathbed Muhammad did not formally
designate a successor or make public a plan for succession.
Our Reply – Rasulullah (s) would not have left the Ummah leaderless and
exposed it to Fitnah Ibn al Hashimi credits the Sheikhain to have
foresight of a pending danger that was at a far superior level than
Rasulullah (s). If their intention was head off trouble as the Ansar
were seeking to fill a vacuum due to the alleged failure of Rasulullah (s)
to appoint a successor, that could destroy the Ummah why didn’t he simply
appoint a successor? To suggest he (s) ignored this matters totally illogical,
we have expanded the absurdity of the Prophet (s) leaving no successor in an
earlier chapter. Now, as for the risible suggestion that Rasulullah (s) would
have wanted them to go to Saqifa, Rasulullah (s) would have wanted them to fulfill
the covenant both had made with Ali (as) at Ghadir Khumm, as Ghazzali stated:
“Rasulullah declared ‘Of whomsoever I am Maula Ali is his Maula’. Umar [r] accepted
this congratulating Ali [r] saying “Congratulations you have become the Maula of men
and women”, but after this his desire for power overtook him and when the Prophet said
“Bring me a pen and paper so that I can remove any doubts over who will succeed me,
Umar [r] replied “Leave him for he is talking nonsense”. Sirr’ul Alameen,
by Abdul Hamid Ghazzali page 9
Clearly when Rasulullah (s) appointed Imam Ali (as) and Umar had affirmed this via
his bayya, then Rasulullah (s) would not approve of the same Umar accompanying
Abu Bakr and Abu Ubaydah to Saqifa to discuss the replacement of his (s) choice of
successor for that of Abu Bakr. If this really was a necessary approach and they
were sincere in their intentions they should have gone there with a view of warning
the Ansar not to turn their backs on Imam Ali (as).
