Re: Abu Bakr
Ah ok. I agree that Mawla Ali (a.s.) had respect for these three; but this is more a reflection on Mawla Ali’s greatness because he knew who the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wanted to lead his ummah upon his passing yet he stayed quiet so there would be no divide amongst the ummah and thus he respected them.
And like I said, I’m willing to overlook (and thus appreciate) the first three caliphs but we (and more generally shias and sunnis) are at an impasse when it comes to muawiyah.
Khair, nice to talk about these issues without getting too rough or emotional. Good job by you and God bless :k:.
