Re: Sects of Islam
Yes, Fadak issue…the one where the prosecutors and the judges were the same…where both Quran and the Ahlay Bayt, the ONLY 2 sources of guidance left behind by the Prophet saww, were deliberately ignored…and where the one who had personally received the gift of fadak from Prophet saww, i.e. Fatima Zahra, knew not but somehow the new king knew…oh well…
as for ur 2nd question, do u know who the fadak belonged during the time of Imam Ali’s caliphate?..it had been gifted by your 3rd king to his son in law the accursed Marwan bin Hakam and his family…ur next question might b that why Imam Ali did not use his worldly political power like others to snatch it from Marwan, right?..in that case u may read this;
Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Fadhal narrated from Abul-Hasan (Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha) [a]: I asked him about Amir-ul-Momineen, why he did not seek to return Fadak when he ruled the people, and he replied: “Because we the Ahlul Bayt do not take our rights from those who have wronged us, except Him (Allah). And we are the Awliya of the Momineen, we rule for them and take (and return) their rights from those that wronged them, and we do not take it for ourselves.”
It is great honor from Allah SWT bestowed upon Amirul Momineen that the progeny of Ali are the progeny of the Messenger of Allah…Indeed if Sheikh Ninowy is a Syed then there is no other but Amirul Momineen to be his great-great grand-father along with the Prophet of Allah…btw from Islamic perspective the “quality and brilliance” matters to nothing if the contents r false…the very reason why Quran discourages poetry regardless of the apparent beauty of the words…if the sermon was in any way from weak sources and that too with material against ur “great sheikhs” then I dont think it wud b taught in your religious seminaries (will be censored like Zul Asheera etc) regardless of whatever faculty they might be taught under …u shud really check this with sheikh ninowy…
