Re: Why a successor (to Mohammed)?
Spoon, I don’t think that there is a need to ask this question in the first place. If, by a successor, one means the head of the caliphate, then ofcourse you need one as you need a caliphate or a governing body for the Muslim Nation. To my knowledge, there is no formal ‘office position’ as a successor to Hazrat Muhammad :saw:.
And please when you mentioned Hazrat Muhammad’s :saw: name, please don’t forget to mention the darood-o-salaam.
