The matter of the breaking of Hazrate Fatemah’s (sa) ribs.

Question: Could you explain the matter of the breaking of Hazrate Fatemah’s (sa) ribs? Answer: I feel that anyone who looks into the recordings of the Islamic historians and also the narrations with regards to the bitter events that occurred following the demise of the Holy Prophet will not disagree on this matter. We will now look at what has been written on this matter: 1) The late Kulayni (2) narrates from an accepted narration from Imam Kadhim (as) in the chapter called ‘The birth of...

Ali (AS) silence was for the sake of religion’s continuance and for maintaining unity

Question :   What point could one argue against anyone who refuses to accept that the praiseworthy silence of his excellency after his objection and campaigning was only for the sake of religion’s continuance and for maintaining unity within society? Answer:If one asks whether the sun is bright or not? And another replies, “Yes”, then they say, “What is the reason for this brightness?” And another replies with calmness and logic, “The sun’s light is what makes it bright.” Then the first person says, “I am not convinced that its brightness is due to light.” Can the person replying bring another reason that will answer this illogical and argumentative person? As the followers of the path of the Ahlulbayt (as) believe, the great Prophet of Islam during the final days of his life,...

What did Amir Al-Mo’mineen Ali (as) do during the attack on Hazrate Fatemah (sa)?

Answer: Before answering this question, I would like to first mention this important point that: As we are the followers of the path of the Holy Ahlulbayt (as) we have learnt to submit to their orders and follow their advice on matters even when perhaps we may not even be clear on the reasons behind their advice but on the trust that there is a reason and goodness in it which we have not yet understood. It has been narrated from our Holy Ahlulbayt (as) that: “Without a doubt following our path and actions will be difficult and full of hardships and only the highest angels, or chosen Prophet or worshipper whose heart has been enlightened by Allah (swt) can cope with the responsibility of this heavy duty.” [1] On the topic of Amir Al-Mo’mineen (as) during this tragic and sorrowful episode,...

What did Amir Al-Mo’mineen Ali (as) do regarding Fadak during his own period of Caliphate?? ?

Answer:Some of the speeches of Amir Al-Mo’mineen in this regard have indicated that during his caliphate Fadak was returned to him and was in his hands as he says: “Yes, from all that the sky casts its shadow upon, the only thing that was in our hands was Fadak which a group unjustly took and another group generously forgave them and liberally ignored the matter. Truthfully it is God who is the best judge...” [1] By considering these words at face value, it may be believed that Fadak during this period of caliphate was returned to his excellency and was in his hands. But in our opinion this conclusion seems unlikely especially since what has been mentioned in the Nahjul Balagha was during the time of his own caliphate and written in the past tense and so this indicates what is being said...

What is the story of Fadak?

Answer:Narrations have reached us through both Shia and Sunni scholars about this issue indicating that following the revelation of the following verse from the holy Qur’an:“So give the rights of your family, the poor, and the wayfarer...” [1]The Prophet called his daughter and assigned the land of Fadak which was partly of the better pieces of land gained through the battle of Khaybar and partly from the Jews. He left the land to her and on the orders of Allah it became her personal property as it was gifted to her.Following the demise of the Prophet the Caliph usurped this land and removed Hazrate Zahra’s (sa) administrator from the land. She defended her right and opposed this usurpation and oppression in the best manner and asked for it to be handed back but the Caliph refused her of...

Why Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) did NOT FIGHT to wrest back Caliphate from the Caliphs?

After the death of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), his Caliphate and Successorship was the right of Imam Ali (a.s.), who made several attempts to prove that Caliphate was his exclusive right and that others were mere pseudo-claimants and usurpers. However, after the martyrdom of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), he found himself alone and could not gather the people towards the obedience of Caliphate entrusted to him by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). However, he expressed his annoyance concerning the misappropriation of his right on every possible opportunity. Then, be it in a gathering of people or amongst his close confidants, or even while expressing his protest in front of the Caliphs. At every place, he (a.s.) strongly emphasized the fact that the right to Caliphate was his and others...

Did the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) make the nation responsible to select a successor?

It’s clear that Islam needed a guide to succeed the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) Even the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was aware of its importance and significance. But he did not appoint his successor. Why? The only conclusion is that he delegated the decision to appoint the successor to his nation. However even the Ahle Tasannun do not claim so. Read all of their six authentic books of traditions (Sihah-e-sittah) and we do not find a single statement from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that appointing a successor is crucial for the guidance of the Muslims. That he (s.a.w.a.) understands its importance but is unable to appoint a successor and therefore he (s.a.w.a.) is delegating the responsibility to the Muslims. At least he (s.a.w.a.) should have urged the Muslims to appoint...

Tarawih----- Obligation, Compulsion or Innovation ?????

The Tarawih prayers are considered as one of the most important prayers conducted in the month of Ramzan. These prayers are considered so important that even those who do not pray throughout the year make it a point no to miss them. These prayers are so important that those who donot attend them are considered to be lowly people who do not pay importance to religion. The question over here is that are these prayers which are given so much importance really a part of Islam ? Were such prayers offered during the life time of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w).??? or were they added later on. If I quote something from myself the patrons of tarawih would brand my words as the  words of a rafazi, the word of a kafir and the word of the one...

Bai’at Ali bin Abi Thalib untuk khalifah

Tanya: Bukankah Ali bin Abi Thalib telah membai’at khalifah? Artinya kekhalifahan itu benar bagi Ali? Jawab: Syiah berkeyakinan bahwa Ali bin Abi Thalib tidak membai’at siapapun. Karena ia mengaku bahwa dirinya-lah khalifah yang telah ditetapkan Tuhan. Namun ternyata kekhilafahan jatuh ke tangan orang lain, yang kemudian “kemaslahatan bersama” menuntutnya untuk menyertai mereka. Ia sendiri pernah berkata: “Aku melihat bahwa jika aku bersikeras mengambil hakku (kekhalifahan), maka Islam yang ada sekarang ini pun juga akan musnah.”[1] Ia tidak menemukan cara lain selain menyertai khalifah-khalifah yang ada dan membimbing mereka. Bahkan ketika sebagian orang-orang Arab menolak untuk membayar zakat, dan akhirnya mereka dikecam, beliau pun juga tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa selain diam....

Nama para khalifah pada anak-anak Ali?

Tanya: Mengapa Ali bin Abi Thalib memberi nama anak-anaknya dengan nama para khalifah? Jawab: Kita mengetahui bahwa nama ketiga khalifah, yakni Abu Bakar, Umar dan Utsman, bukanlah nama spesial yang hanya khusus dimiliki mereka saja. Sesungguhnya nama-nama tersebut memang sudah ada dan sering digunakan di tengah-tengah masyarakat Arab baik setelah Islam maupun sebelumnya. Jadi pemberian nama tersebut didak memiliki arti apa-apa yang berkenaan dengan para khalifah. Anda dapat merujuk ke kitab-kitab Rijal seperti Al-Istii’aab tulisan Ibnu Abdul Barr dan Usd Al-Ghabah tulisan Ibnu Atsir untuk mencari tahu siapa saja sahabat nabi yang juga memiliki nama Abu Bakar, Umar dan Utsman. Di sini kami ingin membawakan bukti kecil dari Usd Al-Ghabah, bahwa ada beberapa sahabat yang namanya juga...

Mengapa Ali membai’at para khalifah?

Tanya: Ali sejak sebelumnya pasti tahu bahwa ia adalah khalifah Tuhan setelah Nabi. Lalu mengapa ia membai’at Abu Bakar, Umar dan Utsman? Jika ia tidak mempunyai kekuatan untuk melawan, maka dia bukan khalifah Tuhan. Jika punya, mengapa tidak menggunakan kekuatan itu? Bukankah itu penghianatan? Apa jawaban anda? Jawab: Dalam sejarah tidak pernah tercatat bahwa Ali bin Abi Thalib membai’at Umar dan Utsman. Karena kekhilafahan Umar bin Khattab telah ditentukan oleh Abu Bakar. Orang-orang banyak yang menanyai Abu Bakar, “Mengapa engkau memilih seseorang yang berwatak keras untuk menjadi khalifah? Kelak ia akan menjadi semakin keras dengan begitu. Apa yang akan kau jawab di hadapan Tuhan nanti karena telah menjadikan orang sepertinya sebagai khalifah kami?” Abu Bakar menjawab mereka,...

Di masa kekhalifahan Ali justru umat Islam berikhtilaf

Tanya: Pada masa pemerintahan dua khalifah pertama, Islam mendapatkan kejayaan bermacam-macam seperti memenangkan negri-negri seberang. Islam tidak mengalami kejayaan lain yang lebih besar dari masa itu; apa lagi di masa pemerintahan Ali bin Abi Thalib yang kalian anggap sebagai Imam maksum, umat Islam malah berikhtilaf di dalam. Bukankah demikian? Jawab: Jika anda menganggap keunggulan seorang pemimpin terletak pada luasnya kekuasan secara geografis, maka sungguh Abu Bakar dan Umar lebih mulia dari Nabi Muhammad Saw! Karena kekuatan yang dimiliki oleh Islam (di jaman nabi) saat itu lebih kecil dari masa-masa pemerintahan dua khalifah pertama. Apakah anda tidak salah mengatakan tidak ada masa Islam yang lebih berjaya dari masa itu? Jika yang anda tekankan adalah luasnya daerah...

Peristiwa Saqifah yang penuh keributan

Tanya: Yang jelas Ali hanya duduk di rumah… Pertamanya, Anshar menentang Abu Bakar dan bersikeras untuk membai’at Sa’ad bin ‘Ubadah namun akhirnya semuanya membai’at Abu Bakar. Bai’at mereka mungkin memiliki salah satu dari beberapa alasan ini: 1. Mereka dipaksa membai’at. 2. Akhirnya mereka sadar bahwa Abu Bakar layak untuk menjadi khalifah. 3. Mereka asal membai’at begitu saja, tanpa ada tujuan. Karena yang pertama dan ketiga tidak mungkin, dan tidak ada kemungkinan keempat; jadi yang benar adalah yang kedua. Betul bukan? Jawab: Padahal sebelumnya penanya pernah menyatakan bahwa semua sahabat telah membai’at Abu Bakar, namun di sini ia berkata bahwa Anshar tidak membai’atnya, namun akhirnya mereka pun membai’at Abu Bakar. Sejarah mencatat bahwa dalam peristwia Saqifah, hanya...

Hadits Asyrah Mubasyarah

Para perawi Ahlu Sunah, seperti Ahmad bin Hanbal dalam Musnadnya[1] dalam sebuah hadits dengan sanad yang sampai pada Abdurrahman bin ‘Auf bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Abu Bakar berada di surga, begitu juga Umar, Ali, Utsman, Thalhah, Zubair, Abdurrahman bin ‘Auf, Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqash, Sa’id bin Zubair dan Abu Ubaidah Abil Jarrah di surga.”[2] Yakni menurut hadits tersebut, sepuluh orang yang disebutkan di atas akan masuk surga. Banyak sekali yang begitu membagakan hadits palsu ini, dan disebut dengan hadits Asyrah Mubasyarah (sepuluh orag yang mendapat berita gembira), lalu mengukir dan memajangnya di dinding-dinding Masjid Nabawi. Akhirnya hadits itu bagi masyarakat awam sudah menjadi hadits yang sangat terkenal. Ada sebuah dialog antara seorang alim Syiah dengan orang Wahabi...

Keutamaan Ali bin Abi Thalib as atas Abu Bakar dan Umar

Pada suatu hari, Abu Hanifah sedang mengajar murid-muridnya di masjid Kufah.  Salah satu murid Imam Ja’far Shadiq as yang bernama Fadhal bin Hasan ada di situ bersama beberapa orang dari kawan-kawannya. Fadhal berkata kepada kawannya, “Aku tidak akan meninggalkan tempat ini sebelum aku ajak Abu Hanifah untuk mengikuti ajaran Imam Shadiq as.” Akhirnya mereka pun ikut duduk bersama murid-murid Abu Hanfah dan akhirnya terjadi dialog antara Abu Hanifah dengan murid-murid Imam Shadiq as itu: Fadhal: “Hai Abu Hanifah, aku punya saudara yang lebih tua dariku, namun ia Syiah. Setiap kali aku membawakan bukti-bukti keutamaan Abu Bakar dan Umar atas Ali supaya ia mau menjadi Suni, ia selalu menolaknya. Sekarang aku ingin minta tolong kepadamu untuk kau sebutkan bukti-bukti keutamaan...
