Re: My eyes are aching.... my legs are shaking.....
Although I am an outsider Kaafir in this thread....
But can anyone enlighten me....If Ali Ibn Abi Talib was so much adored by Abu Bakr and it's a fact that Ali accepted new religion at young age of 10....so why he was refused the position of caliphate for so long???
I think after death of Mohammed Caliphate became an issue and by all logic Ali was worthy of this position...let's say atleast before Umar or that guy Othman?
By all means Umar cannot be a candidate before Ali ---Historically if you will see Umar is still an invader:D
Sir, your questions are based on your own assumptions, which is why people here do not even feel like discussing with you. Before you get proper answers I think you need to substantiate how you came to the conclusion:
1 - Abu Bakr RA adoration is a criteria for choosing a caliph.
2 - How age would have been a factor in choosing Islam? The time Abu Bakr RA and Ali RA had been muslims is nearly equal. Then in terms of plain seniority by age, obviously Abu Bakr RA would have had it.
3 - When did Ali RA ever want to be caliph to get denied/refused in the first place.
4 - Yes Caliphate was a immediate issue after the Prophet SAW demise. It got resolved based on the prevailing circumstances.
5 - According to you if Umar RA was an invader how was that to be known when deciding for the caliphate after the demise of Prophet SAW because Umar RA did not expand the Islamic state until he became caliph. Very grave inconsistency in your reasoning here.
Please answer these questions and then we would can continue further.
