Tragedy During Prophet's Death Or Killed

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).
