Umar formulated the Non-Appointment Theory

THE THEORY OF NON - APPOINTMENT AND WHY IT WAS INVENTED Very soon after the arrival of the Prophet at Medina, it became evident to all that a Muslim state was in the making. With this knowledge, the idea naturally entered every mind as to who the next ruler of this state after the Prophet would be. As time went on and the state expanded, this idea took deeper root and different shapes in the minds of different persons. It was all too plain that the Prophet (P) had selected Imam Ali to be his successor. But this was not to the liking of many people, and their sullen mood was fed and fostered for their own ends by those who thought themselves to be in a position to make a bid for the prize. They set about canvassing and inviting people to their way of thinking, with the result that a party...

Preparatio​n of the attack on the house of J. Zahra (sa) - Part 3

By Br. Hisham Merchant Umar was incensed by the reply of Janabe Zahra (s.a.) and said, “Why should these women interfere in our work?” He ordered the people present there to collect firewood.[1] As per another report, on hearing the reply of Janabe’ Zahra (a.s.), Umar became extremely restless. He said to Khalid ibne Waleed and Qunfuz, “Gather wood and fire.”[2] Abu Bakr told Umar to call the most hardhearted and insensitive person that he could find.[3] Go to their house and draw them out. If they do not agree, then wage war with them.[4] Umar gathered a large group[5] which included the companions[6], Mohajir, Ansar[7], those who were freed after the conquest of Mecca[8], hypocrites[9], some weak Arabs, foot soldiers[10] and led them to the house of Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.). A narration reports...

Umar and Abu Bakr meets Janabe Zahra (sa)

By Br. Hisham Merchant The effects of this tyranny stayed on the holy body of Janabe’ Zahra (a.s.). After this, she remained sad and became sick, till she was confined to the bed. The body started becoming weak and thin and nothing remained till she was reduced to a shadow of herself. She became severely sick. She did not permit those who had troubled her to visit her. Nobody saw her smile towards the end of her life. When her sickness intensified Umar told Abu Bakr, “I wish to visit Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.). We have offended her.” They sought permission to meet her, but she did not grant them permission. They kept on insisting. Then, one day they met Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and said, “You know what has transpired between us and Janabe’ Zahra. If you find it appropriate, then obtain us permission...

Umar forcibly dragged Hazrat Ali (a.s.) from his House - Part 1

By Br. Hisham Merchant The people forcibly dragged Hazrat Ali (a.s.) from his house.[1] Umar was especially harsh on Hazrat Ali (a.s.)[2] and was pulling him mercilessly.[3] The rest of the people followed this procession. Hazrat Ali (a.s.), while talking about this incident says, “I was dragged by the people for bay’at just as a camel is dragged.[4] The swords of the people were drawn and their spears were shining in readiness.” His condition was such that he was in a state of extreme sadness and often was filled with fury. But with great patience he overcame his anger.[5] He was also extremely weary and tired.[6] In another narration it is reported that he (a.s.) was made to run and brought to the mosque.[7] The people were watching this as if it were some great spectacle or show. The...

Umar forcibly dragged Hazrat Ali (a.s.) from his House - Part 2

By Br. Hisham Merchant The people took Hazrat Ali (a.s.) to Abu Bakr and made him sit before him.[1] At that moment Umar stood behind him holding a sword to his neck. Khalid ibne Waleed, Abu Obaydah bin Jarrah, Saalem Maula Abu Huzayfah, Ma’az bin Jabal Mughayrah bin Shoaybah, Aseed ibne Saeed and some other companions were gathered there with their arms. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) said, How soon have you attacked the house of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). O Abu Bakr! On the basis of which right, on the basis of which inheritance or which merit are you seeking allegiance from the people. Did you not, on the order of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), give bay’at to me and acknowledge my wilayat and leadership?[2] At this, Umar sat on Hazrat Ali’s (a.s.) thigh and held him tight with both hands.[3] He shook...

Hazrat Mohsin Ibn Ali (a.s.): A Victim of Oppression and Terrorism

The demise of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) triggered a chain of events that caught the Muslims unaware. Worse, they accepted these events as if that was the most natural thing to do and remained unmindful of the far-reaching consequences of their submission. One such incident that stands out in the aftermath of the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) demise is the siege on Hazrat Fatimah’s (s.a.) house and the eventual attack that claimed two lives in its wake, one of them being Hazrat Fatimah (s.a.) herself. The other one being the martyrdom of Hazrat Mohsin Ibn Ali (a.s.), the subject of this article. *Unbelievably True* Mohsin Ibn Ali’s (a.s.) martyrdom is so unsettling and incredible that some Muslims have even gone to the extent of denying it. To think of it, indeed the incident is unbelievably...

WHY the theory of Non-Appointment is highly improbable and entirely illogical.

One fact which cuts to the root of the Theory of Non-appointment is that its advocates are unable to find any sensible explanation' or show any reasonable grounds for why the Prophet (P) should have adopted this attitude of "non-cooperation", so to speak, towards this very important problem of the Caliphate.  Without this explanation, no intelligible history of the Caliphate can be written. In fact, a true conception and thorough understanding of the History of Islam and the Muslim peoples is absolutely impossible without a correct answer to this very essential question. The entire course of Islamic History, for good or for bad was shaped by the way in which this problem was handled after the death of the Prophet (P). The innumerable wars and massacres which throughout the long period...

Umar sought Allah’s help through Ahle Bait (a.s.)

NUMBER #1Ibn Hajar Makki writes in his Sawa’iq-e-Muhriqa, after verse 14 (from The History of Damascus) that in the 17th year of the Hijra people prayed for rain but to no effect. Caliph Umar said that he would pray for rain the next day through the means of approach to Allah. Next morning he went to Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet and said: “Come out so that we may invoke Allah through you for rain.” Abbas asked Umar to sit for some time so that the means of approach to Allah could be provided. The Bani Hashim (Ahle Bait a.s.) were then informed. Abbas then came out with Imam Ali, Imam Hasan, and Imam Husain. Other Bani Hashim were behind them. Abbas asked Umar that no one else be added to their group. Then they went to the place of prayers where Abbas raised his hands for prayers...

Umar killed Janabe Fatima Zehra-the beloved daughter of Prophet Mohammad(s.a.w.a)

Burning of the door of Janabe Zahra(sa) Umar ordered the group to gather the wood and he, himself came forward with the fire.[1]He was screaming, Burn the house! Burn the house along with its people! [2] Janabe Zahra (s.a.) raised her voice and wailed,  O father! O Prophet of Allah! After your departure, Ibne Khattab (Umar) and Ibne Quhafah (Abu Bakr) troubled us a lot and caused us distress to no end. When the people heard the wailing of Janabe Zahra (s.a.), they too began weeping and, in that condition, left that place. Now just Umar and a few people remained there.[3] Umar asked for the fire and set the door alight.[4] The wood gathered at the door caught fire.[5] The entire house was filled with smoke.[6] Qunfuz put his hand inside to open the door.[7] Janabe Zahra (s.a.) held...

How Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan came to Power?

How Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan one of the staunchest enemies of Prophet Mohammad (P) and of Islam came to power? Muawiya was a staunch follower of the pre-Islamic polytheism like his known  father Abu Sufyan. He was after the Battle of Badr the heir-apparent to the pagan throne of Mecca which was occupied in effect by his father Abu Sofyan and mother Hind. After the defeat of his family following the fall of Mecca in 8 AH Muawiya, and most of the Meccans, including the Abd-Shams, formally submitted to Prophet Muhammad (P) and accepted Islam. General consensus among early Islamic historians is that Muawiyah, along with his father Abu Sufyan, became Muslims at the conquest of Mecca when further resistance to Muslims became an impossibility. In the year 640, Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed...
