INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

Today the Muslim Ummah is more divided than ever, and as every day passes, the enemies of Allah and

his Prophet (P.B.U.H.) conspire to widen these divisions and ru salt into the wounds of this nation. Their

sole desire is to destroy the reli!ion of "od and oliterate morality, so that they can once a!ain claim, as

their ideolo!ical forefather did, #$ am your hi!hest lord% (&uran '*+). Today the duty of all Muslims isto understand the true intention of the he!emonic powers, who see to e-ploit our weanesses and

infi!htin!s y all means possile, and, as a conseuence of this nowled!e, prevent them from inflictin!

further dama!e to our social faric. The uestion of resistance a!ainst these unrelentin! waves of social,

economic, political and cultural invasions is one of survival, and thus, must e the numer one priority of

all Muslims.

The strate!y of neopharonic powers is to eep the masses unaware and i!norant of the truth and

therefore, create artificial enmities etween them. As a result they will remain preoccupied y ima!ined

threats from within their own rans, leavin! the e-ternal front open for them to do with it as they lie.

Havin! understood this, we must raise a naturally resultin! uestion. This ein!/ What is the core

catalyst and primary engine of nity !ithin a nation" The answer to this uestion is also simple. The

core catalyst of unity amon!st different !roups within a nation is an environment of mutual

understandin!. $f the 0unni understand the eliefs and practices of the 0hia and the 0hia understand the

eliefs and practices of the 0unni, no enemy would ever e ale to sow the seeds of division and amon!st

them y spreadin! poisonous lies.

Thus is answerin! the call of Allah (0.1.T.) when he says in the &uran/

#And hold fast y the covenant of Allah all to!ether and e not disunited, and rememer the favor of

Allah on you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts so y His favor you ecame rethren2

and you were on the rin of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it, thus does Allah mae clear to you

His communications that you may follow the ri!ht way.% (3453)

This oolet only demonstrates one of hundreds of chains of ar!uments that can e used to enli!hten

0unni rothers aout 0hia eliefs. $ts audience is the common Muslim masses2 therefore, the level of the

discussion has een ept compatile to their !eneral level of nowled!e and understandin!.

1e hope this humle effort would help promote mutual rotherhood and respect amon!st the Ummah of

the "reatest Prophet (P.B.U.H.) till the comin! of $mam Mahdi (May Allah hasten his appearance) and

the final defeat of all in6ustice and tyranny.

SOURCES USED

This oolet will see to demonstrate, in an e-tremely summari7ed manner, that the eliefs of the 0hia are

a lo!ically derivation from the &uran, and can e proven usin! no other source ut the Hadith held to e

correct y the Ahle0unnah. Therefore, no other source apart from the &uran and the 0i- 0ahih oos of

Hadith of the Ahle0unnah (and even from amon!st , primarily The 0ahih of $mam Buhari and the

0ahih of $mam Muslim, ecause of their dominance over the others) have een used.

The 0hias elieve that twelve leaders, all of whom elon!ed to &uraish, inherited the Prophet=s

(P.B.U.H.) position of leadership, one after the other, after the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) ade farewell to this

mortal world.

As we all now, the trie of &uraish continues to e-ist to this day. Therefore, these Ahadith apply to the

Thus we reach the :nd)ogical conclsionof this oolet/

The 0hia elieve that the twelve leaders will elon! to a select !roup within &uraish i.e. ein! a

&uraishi is only the first prereuisites for ein! a caliph. Thus the followin! uestion must e

raised.

$mam Buhari has narrated two Hadith from the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) that shed ample amounts of li!ht on

this su6ect.

4. >arated By Au Huraira / Allahs Apostle said, @This ranch from &uraish will ruin the people.@

The companions of the Prophet ased, @1hat do you order us to do (then)E@ He said, @$ would

su!!est that the people eep away from them.@

@$ heard the trustworthy, truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet) sayin!, The destruction of my

followers will e rou!ht aout y the hands of some youn!sters from &uraish.@ Marwan ased,

@Foun!stersE@ Au Huraira said, @$f you wish, $ would name them/ They are the children of so

#adith Soft!are * $olmn 55?7 %oo1 5=7 #adith Nm0er 85:

Ara0ic cross reference ; @< 'ita0 Al +anai07 %aa0F Alamaatin N0!a (il Islam7 95=

Gven thou!h the Hadith falls short of mentionin! the names of the destructive se!ment of &uraish, it

ecomes utterly clear that the whole of &uraish can not e trusted with the office of leadership, and that

the ualifications of a Daliph must e more that 6ust simply elon!in! to this trie, even thou!h the pre

reuisite stands firm as it is. These two Hadiths clearly specify that there were people amon! the &uraish

who had the potential to destroy the Ummah, whereas the previous Hadiths have clearly hi!hli!hted the

$slam and the Ummah would e !lorious durin! the rule of the &uraishi Daliphs. Thus we must conclude

that only a select !roup from amon! the &uraish trie could hold this office.

Therefore, we see that ein! a &uraishi is a #>ecessary euirement%, ut it is not a #0ufficient

euirement% i.e. one must e a &uraishi and, apart from that, also hold some other predefined

characteristics to e eli!ile for the office of ;eadership of the Ummah.

Thus we reach the 9rd)ogical conclsionof this oolet/

4. There were to e twelve &uraishi leaders to lead the Ummah after the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)

*. The Daliphate can not e held y a non&uraishi

9< Only a select grop !ithin .raish is to hold the office of leadershipo other !roup can e proven to hold such ualities and no other !roup has ever

claimed to hold such characteristics either.

Thus, we reach =th)ogical conclsionof this oolet/

@< There were to e twelve caliph after the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) all of whom were to e from &uraish

:< The Daliphate can not e held y people other than the &uraish Trie

9< Inly a select !roup within &uraish can hold the office of ;eadership

?< This select !roup must have the ualities of ein! selected y Allah, and protected y him from

Thus discussions re!ardin! the nomination of Ha7rat Auar are uite clearly contradictory to these and

followin! Ahadith.

8urthermore, if the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) had ever nominated Ha7rat Auar for the caliphate, Ha7rat

Auar himself would have narrated this Hadith at the shed of Banu 0aida, and elsewhere, where he

presented evidence and ar!uments in support of his ri!ht to the caliphate.

Here is a selection from what $mam Buhari narrates/

4. >arated By Aisha / C (after the demise of the Prophet), the Ansar were assemled with 0ad in

Uada in the shed of Bani 0aida. They said (to the emi!rants). @There should e one Amir from

us and one from you.@ Then Au Bar, Umar in Al:hatta and Au aida in Al?arrah went to

them. Umar wanted to spea ut Au Bar stopped him. Umar later on used to say, @By Allah, $

intended only to say somethin! that appealed to me and $ was afraid that Au Bar would not

spea so well. Then Au Bar spoe and his speech was very elouent. He said in his statement,

@1e are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers),@ Hua in AlMundhir said,

@>o, y Allah we wont accept this. But there must e a ruler from us and a ruler from you.@ Au

Bar said, @>o, we will e the rulers and you will e the ministers, for they (i.e. &uarish) are the

est family amon!st the Aras and of est ori!in. 0o you should elect either Umar or Au

Uaida in Al?arrah as your ruler.@ Umar said (to Au Bar), @>o ut we elect you, for you are

our chief and the est amon!st us and the most eloved of all of us to Allahs Apostle.@ 0o Umar

too Au Bars hand and !ave the pled!e of alle!iance and the people too !ave the pled!e of

alle!iance to Au Bar. 0omeone said, @Fou have illed 0ad in Uada.@ Umar said, @Allah has

illed him.@ Aisha said (in another narration), (@1hen the Prophet was on his deathed) he

looed up and said thrice, (Amon!st) the Hi!hest Dompanion (0ee &uran +.

(P.B.U.H.) for leadership. He does however, vent only a sin!le ar!ument, the veracity of which we too

have proven, and that ar!ument is that the caliphate can not !o into the hands of a non&uraishi.

Thus, our conclusion can not e other than this that apart from Ali, Hasan and Husain, no one within

&uraish could claim to e fittin! the reuirements set so clearly y the Ahadith narrated y the two most

important oos of 0ahih Hadith of the Ahle0unnah. 0ince all other individuals, considered y various

!roups, to e part of the AhleBait were women, and the scholars of the Ummah are in consensus that

women can not ecome caliphs.

Thus, we reach th)ogical conclsionof this oolet/

@< There were to e twelve caliph after the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) all of whom were to e from &uraish

:< The Daliphate can not e held y people other than the &uraish Trie

9< Inly a select !roup within &uraish can hold the office of ;eadership

?< This select !roup must have the ualities of ein! selected y Allah, and protected y him from

all forms of sins and errors

=< The only !roup proven to have these ualities is the People of the House (Ahl e Bait) i.e. Ali,

8atima, Hasan and Husain< Only Ali7 #asan or #sain from among the .raish fitted the reirements laid ot clearly

0y the Prophet 2P

already analy7ed, we e!in to understand that a Daliph (matchin! all the reuirements discussed aove)

must e present lest Allah=s law e roen and the Prophet=s (P.B.U.H.) word falsified.

$f we were to analyse this Hadith further we would also see why the Daliph must e appointed y Allah

and not elected y the Ummah itself. 0imply, as we have seen, one must die in a state in which he or she

is ound to an oath of alle!iance. An oath of alle!iance e-ists as valid as lon! as the ruler, to whom this

oath is !iven, remains alive. This is the only lo!ical conclusion possile, ecause if it were not so, this

hadith would ecome meanin!less. $f we were to suppose that caliphs must e chosen y election, the

time la! etween the death of one caliph and the appointment of an other would e such that if one were

to die in that period one would have died the death of #?ahiliyah%. This can simply not e, since it would

mae Allah=s law totally illo!ical (that we now that this is not possile). And if the inheritin! caliph were

to e chosen durin! the life of the rulin! caliph, this would have no precedence for this act in the sunnah

(accordin! to the Ahle0unnah since they elieve that the Prophet P.B.U.H. appointed no one as his

successor refer to the hadith uoted aove from Umar in Al :hata) or the way of the four Daliphs and

thus e a #idah% or innovation in the law of Allah accordin! to the Ahle0unnah.

$t is ut natural that we accept that caliphs are not to e elected, ut appointed y Allah, and suseuentlyannounced to the Ummah y the present caliph (as the shias elieve to e true with re!ards to the

nomination of Ali y the Prophet P.B.U.H. at "hadir :hum shortly efore his sad demise).

Thus, we reach >th)ogical conclsionof this oolet/

4. There were to e twelve caliph after the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) all of whom were to e from &uraish

*. The Daliphate can not e held y people other than the &uraish Trie

3. Inly a select !roup within &uraish can hold the office of ;eadership

+. This select !roup must have the ualities of ein! selected y Allah, and protected y him from

all forms of sins and errors

L. The only !roup proven to have these ualities is the People of the House (Ahl e Bait) i.e. Ali,

8atima, Hasan and Husain< A Caliph of Allah mst 0e present at all times and in all ages7 and ths there mst 0e a

Caliph !ithin the people todayIJ The Ahadith uoted (and those not

uoted for sae of revity) and our conclusions are all true, the words of the Prophet P.B.U.H.

are all true2 and of course, the &uran and the Ahadith remain valid to this day and for all day to

come.

0o how do we interpret our duty todayE

All $slamic schools of thou!ht hold it to e true that the last caliph of the Ummah is to e $mam

Mahdi (A0), the ualities of whom are well elaorated in the various holy te-ts availale toscholars. Accordin! to the
