Re: The issue of Fadak
Why did Hazrat Imam Ali, the greatest mind and the warrior of Islam, chose life of isolation for almost 25 years after the death of the Holy Prophet of Islam?
he did not by any mean lead a life of isolation he "retired" from duties of active conquests but he was by no means the only senior companion to do so (amongst other people Talha is another one)...
apart from that he was very active esp during the administration of sayyidna umar and even during the turbulant times of uthman's caliphate Sayyidna Ali was the by default the leader of muhajireen in all major disputes ...why wud they choose him as a leader if he led a life of isolation.
