He began to read it. He would have said to you, ‘Oh people! if you don’t do it, you have not delivered His message (at all); and Surely this makes no sense. The entire Shia paradigm is based on the flimsy and easily refutable idea that Ghadir Khumm was a central location in which all the Muslims would gather together in before parting ways and going to their respective homes. After meeting a Attar’s diwan, The Conference of the Birds is a masterful piece of work on imagery, metaphors and the use of esoteric themes of flight, inward vision, destruction of the self (ego), and oneness with God. No other civilisation (past and present) can stand up to this achievement. Does this mean that “no leader will benefit his leader on the Day of Judgment”? After the Hajj, the Makkans stayed behind in Makkah, the people of Taif went back to Taif, the people of Kufa went back to Kufa, the people of Yemen went back to Yemen, etc. It would make little sense for the ISNA president to nominate his successor in One only needs to open up an Arabic dictionary to see the various definitions of the word “Mawla.” Ibn Al-Atheer says that the word “Mawla” can be used to mean, amongst other things, the following: lord, owner, benefactor, liberator, helper, lover, ally, slave, servant, brother-in-law, cousin, friend, etc. For the past 2 years I have been actively trying to inform and educate others, as well as myself, on the true place and position of this magnificent land not only in Islam but in our shared human history. (5) Abu Saeed: Muhammad Ibn Al_Sae’b Al-Kalbi, Al-Suyuti said in Al-Itqan regarding the Tafseer of Ibn Abbas: “And the weakest of its chains is the way of Al-Kalbi from Abu Saleh from Ibn Abbas. Moreover, Muslim missionaries did not encounter difficulty in explaining Islamic tenets to Zoroastrians, as there were many similarities between the faiths. (pbuh). One can love the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) and be close to him, and at the same time love and be close to Ali (رضّى الله عنه). The complete negation of this Shia claim is the fact that the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) said something similar in his Farewell Sermon atop Mount Arafat, starting his speech by saying: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again.” (Bayhaqi). On the authority of Umar (r) who said: One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (s), there came before us a man with extremely white clothing and extremely black hair. Mehmed was 21 years old at the time, and Istanbul has remained in Muslim hands ever since. In any case, there are many lengthy articles that defend the Islamic position on this matter, and the reader is free to search the internet for them. “Whatever made you give them breastplates before we hand them over to the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family? Jews and Christians). Again, these two additions are not in the Sahihayn but rather they are in the variant narrations in other books. This article or section is being renovated. Both perceptions are of course valid, depending on one’s angle of vision… Iran was indeed Islamised, but it was not Arabised. So Allah’s Apostle put his hand on Salman, saying: “Even if Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiya (Pleiades, the highest star), then some man or men from these people (i.e. would travel towards Ghadir Khumm on the way back to their home cities in the completely opposite direction? Bukhari and Muslim), with no mention at all of the word “Mawla.” Ibn Taymiyyah said: “As for his saying ‘If I am someone’s mawla then Ali is his mawla too’, this is not in the books of Sahih (Bukhari and Muslim), but it is one of the reports which were narrated by the scholars and concerning whose authenticity the people disputed.”. Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ) and his men performed Hajj with the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) and it was during this time that the soldiers were grumbling about Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ), which led to the pronouncement at Ghadir Khumm. After the Hajj, everyone heads back to their home cities and the Makkans would stay put since they lived in Makkah. This tactic of fooling people is called “acceptance by association.”. Islam was readily accepted by Zoroastrians who were employed in industrial and artisan positions because, according to Zoroastrian dogma, such occupations that involved defiling fire made them impure. The common Shia tactic to fool the Sunni layperson is to first state that the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm is in Bukhari and the most trusted books of the Sunnis (often times impressing Sunnis with long references), and then they go about quoting the variant versions from obscure and unreliable sources that depict Ghadir Khumm in a very different manner than is actually stated in the authentic books. became his greatest triumph, contributing to his reputation as a great military Of course, this response is quickly refuted by pointing out that these narrations are available in Shia sources as well, including Shaykh Mufid’s book Kitab Al-Irshad. Following the Abbasid revolution of 749-51, in which Iranian converts played a major role, the Caliphate’s center of gravity moved to Iraq and underwent significant Iranian influences. You were nominated to one day become (future tense) the Caliph of all the Muslims.” But he certainly would not have said: “Congratulations…today you have become the leader.”. The global war on terror (GWOT) and the battles with specific Islamist groups is, to some degree, a war of ideas. It would not make sense for this verse to have been revealed at the time of the Prophet’s peak of power. ( Log Out / Allah ordered His Prophet [s] to inform the people of this designation at a time of crowded populous so that all could become the narrators of the tradition, while they exceeded a hundred thousand. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) arrived It is impossible to discuss the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm without first understanding the specific context in which the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) said what he said. We have already addressed this point earlier. For Allah guides not those who reject Faith. And yet, the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) did not mention the leadership of the Muslims at all in this speech. It is narrated in Ibn Saad’s “Al-Tabaqat Al-Kubra”: A Rafidhi (a person who rejects the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and Umar) said to him (Al Hasan ibn Hasan), “Did not the Messenger of Allah say to Ali: ‘If i am Mawla of someone, Ali is his Mawla?’”, He (Al Hasan) replied, “By Allah, if he meant by that Amirate and rulership, he would have been more explicit to you in expressing that, just as he was explicit to you about the Salah, Zakat and Hajj to the House. The Shia propagandist would have us believe that the Muslims going to Taif and Yemen would travel an extra 500 km (round trip) to the watering hole of Ghadir Khumm and then head back in the opposite direction. In fact, that entire section of the Quran is referring to the People of the Book, starting from verse 5:59 and going all the way to 5:86. But the answer to your question is simple and easy and don't know why you even asked although you understand this as well. Fourthly–and this ends the debate altogether–is the fact that this incident is mentioned in Shia sources as well. The atmosphere was such that the people had been criticizing and hurting Ali (رضّى الله عنه), so the noble Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضّى الله عنه) went to comfort him and say kind words to him. This fact is mentioned in the Quran itself: Fight the leaders (imams) of kufr. 1 There are even hadith on . A similar hadith, found in Al-Tirmidhi and narrated by Zaid ibn Thabit, says that the Prophet looked towards Yemen and said, "O Allah bring their hearts closer and bless us in our Sa' and our Mudd (i.e. After the conference, everyone heads back to their respective home cities, so the ISNA president heads back towards San Francisco with a stop-over in Cheyenne. Under the Command of Allah, I invite you to Him. The Muslims under Ali’s command hated him, so the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) was using his influence to cause them to love Ali (رضّى الله عنه) and take him as a beloved friend. To my non-Muslim friends, if you ask what debt you owe to Iran? As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, (let them know that) it is the party of Allah that will be triumphant.” (Quran, 5:55-56). If it was not for the Persian, the works of Aristotle, Socrates and Plato would have vanished. Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and كتاب في التاريخ الاسلامي وتراجم الصحابة جمع فيه المؤلف قصص عظماء الصحابة بأسلوب أدبي رفيع شيق . ولكنه لم يذكر فيه الخلفاء الأربعة ... Beneficent, the Merciful. In fact, it is for this very reason that we deny that Ghadir Khumm could possibly be in relation to the Imamah of Ali (رضّى الله عنه). Atiyyah and Abu Sa’id al Khudri. And it is even more unbelievable that the Shia can bring forth “proof” that is in fact the proof against their own arguments! When they came to Mecca, their complaints against the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, became numerous. It is our hope that the Shia lay-persons at least acknowledge this fact in debate, instead of being obstinate and pig-headed with regards to the idea that Mawla can only mean “master.” Although we quoted the above from a Shia propaganda article, we no doubt agree with this introduction, namely that: 1) Mawla has many different meanings. Peace be upon him, who seeks truth and expresses belief in Allah and in His Prophet and testifies that there is no god but Allah and that He has no partner, and who believes that Muhammad is His Worshipper and Prophet. There are scores of “associations” in this hadith which clearly show that the only meaning fitting the occasion can be “master”. Possible locations listed are the areas around Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. It was over this war booty that a dispute began between Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ) on the one hand and his soldiers on the other. Now Khalid sent Buraida to the Prophet. If you do not, then you would not have fulfilled and proclaimed His Message. And so when Allah says “the disbelievers shall have no Mawla for them”, this refers to a protector of extreme closeness, not that they don’t have a leader. As stated by the Shia themselves, Ghadir Khumm was a watering hole and a resting point for those travelling…the only thing they fail to mention is that it is a resting point for those passing through it, not those heading in the opposite direction altogether! Ali (رضّى الله عنه) was being severely criticized by his men and it was in this atmosphere that the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) defended Ali (رضّى الله عنه) and informed the Muslims that they shouldn’t hate Ali (رضّى الله عنه) but rather love him. This verse is not using Mawla to mean Imam or Caliph at all, but rather it is referring to a close protecting friend. Without a doubt, no. 231-36. Is it any wonder that the deceitful Shia Encyclopedia did not mention that Imam Razi mentioned ten possibilities and stated that the only reasonable one was the first? But today, in the age of information and technology, accurate maps are at our finger-tips and no reasonable person should be fooled by the Shia myths. Hadith on Ibrahim: The Prophet meets Abraham in the heavens. It is in fact unbelievable that the Shia can translate it to mean Caliph and Imam when the context has nothing to do with that. Persia, Khosrau II received the letter he ripped it in anger. I did not give you permission to do that.”. These are all proofs for the exaltation of Sahabah definitely but they do not entail Prophetic nomination to Caliphate and they definitely do not convey any sense of divine appointment by Allah. Some of them are as follows. 1 2. And Allah– He is the Hearing, the Knowing. “Luqman al-Hakeem” (“Luqman the wise,” a reference to a It is based on the distance from Makkah to Ghadir Khumm that we ascertain that it is much more believable that the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) was correcting a specific group of Muslims (i.e. There are a number of lessons we can learn from the instructions the Prophet gave to him. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He expends as He pleases; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord will certainly make many of them increase in inordinacy and unbelief; and We have put enmity and hatred among them till the day of resurrection; whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah puts it out, and they strive to make mischief in the land; and Allah does not love the mischief-makers. This praise said by Umar (رضّى الله عنه) was transmitted widely to the people, so why should Umar (رضّى الله عنه) do that favor to Ali (رضّى الله عنه) if he was truly against him or if “Mawla” really meant “leader”? Shiism, you are doing a great disservice to a people that developed the Islam If a word has more than one meaning, the best way to ascertain its true connotation is to look at the association (qarinah) and the context. This argument is actually conceding the entire debate. Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and if you don’t do it, you have not delivered His message (at all); and Allah will protect you from the people …” (Qur’an 5:67). [5.73] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one God, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve. not so until the late 15th century. Surely, the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) could have said “I am about to die and therefore I am worried about who will be my successor and this is why nominate Ali to be the Caliph after me.” Instead, we have to guess and trust the Shia that this is what the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) really meant to say, and we all know how creative the Shia imagination is. The entire foundation of Shi’ism rests on the event of Ghadir Khumm, because it is here that the Prophet (ﺻﻠّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺳﻠّﻢ) supposedly nominated Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ) to be his successor. The coup de grâce to the Shia argument is the fact that Ghadir Khumm is located approximately 250 km away from Makkah. Proclaim the Message which has been sent down to you from your Lord. First of all, the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm as recorded in Sahih Bukhari was not intended to make Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ) look evil at all. To me, the wild-natured one with reason come to an end, No land, no people and no artistic culture can stand up to what the Persian has achieved (in my humble opinion). The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. Some historians trace the origin of the dome to the Persians, as well as the invention and development of the most beautiful element of Muqarnas. some resistance from elements of the Zoroastrian clergy and other ancient For the purpose of debate, however, we shall accept them as authentic. The key words here are “today” and “you have become”, meaning that Ali (رضّى الله عنه) is currently Mawla. Nonetheless, the people had anger in their eyes, so they took special offense when Ali (ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ) took a slave girl for himself from the Khums; the soldiers wrongfully accused Ali ( ﺭﺿّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨ) of being a hypocrite for denying the clothes and camels to the men but for himself taking a slave girl. They renamed the city Istanbul. Abu Hurairah is said to have referred to Salman as According to prolific orientalist Bernard Lewis: “Arab Muslims conquests have been variously seen in Iran: by some as a blessing, the advent of the true faith, the end of the age of ignorance and heathenism; by others as a humiliating national defeat, the conquest and subjugation of the country by foreign invaders. It is strange how the Shia try to downplay the greatness of being declared a “beloved friend”: we will often see Shia who say things like “surely it couldn’t mean ‘just a friend’”. I have got a different information about Dajjal (the anti-christ). In 628, the Prophet Muhammad Ibn Katheer narrates that the people in the army (i.e. It is very clear that all of these verses are about the Jews and the Christians, and it is absurd that the Shia could just cut and paste the Quran as they wish. Some even say that the prophet (SAW) used intentionally vague wording otherwise people would have tampered his words. Then he began his journey back to Medina.
