What's the difference between a Shia & Sunni? And why do they hate each others? (I'm an atheist so I don't know shit about religions)

Keep in mind that this is no way trying to shame or denounce my Sunni siblings, but I do believe it's important to highlight a historical fact and how it's detrimental to the current geopolitical situation, since we're embittered by historical events, while at the face of imperalism and colonialism.

Shi'as are a political group of people who iunitially held that Ali (a), the cousin of Muhammed (pbuh&hf) was the successor of the Prophet. This is evident in numerous hadiths, such as Hadith Ghadeer Khumm, the Hadith of Mubahila and the Hadith at Thaqalayn. Nevertheless, the issue steems from the incident at Saqifa, which was a council met by some companions by the Prophet, who held an abrupt meeting, discussing who'd lead the Muslim nation following the Prophet's death. The meeting was held without consulting Ali (a) and they chose Abu Bakr to become the caliph. As a result, Ali (a) did nor approve of the selection and did not pledge his allegience to Abu Bakr. the incident at Saqifa serves as a catalyst to the incidents that would befall the Muslim community, such as Fatimah's (a) miscarriage and the subsequent wars against Ali (a) by some of the Prophet's companions, Ali (a) and his sons Hassan (a) and Hussain's (a) martyrdom.

This caused the rift in the nascent Islamic community, the Shi'as were any Muslim who held that Ali (a) was the successor by divine right, and swore their allegience to Ali (a), while the rest of the Muslims were nonpartisans. Sunni Islam is the standardization of Islamic scholastic and jurisdictional opinions which were formed in the Abbasid caliph. So it's errounous to assume that there was a split between Sunnis and Shi'as, when Sunni Islam was formed a few centuries later.

The reason for the hate is because of fundamentalist attitudes toward Shi'as. Some Sunnis and Salafis believe that Shi'a Muslims are heretics, because of their veneration of saints and the importance of Shrine visitations, the other reason is because Shi'a Muslims practice the doctrine of dissociation, which is the belief that any of the enemies of the Prophet's household should be cursed, thus some of the personalites of the Sunnis are cursed by Shi'as. Ancient scholars, suchs as Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim placed some fatwas declaring Shi'a Muslims to be heretics. These scholars' opinions are still popular today and used as pretext for prejudice against Shi'as.

In a geopolitical context, Iran is often considered to be rivaling power to Saudi Arabia's Wahhabism, and have often threatened the Saudi hegemony. Because of the Axis of resistance and their growing influence in the SWANA region, the Gulf States have attempted at all cost to undermine the growing sympathy for Shi'as. Bahrain is upholding an apartheid against it's Shi'i majority, The Saudi refuses to ackowledge the Shi'i Houthis in Yemen, but supported the Hadi government, thus imposing a devastating blockade. The Iraqi war saw the Shi'as gain power, while the Sunnis were often a disenfranchised group following the Blackwater massacre, which contributed the rise of various militias and terrorist groups, such as ISIS. While in the Syrian Civil War, Shi'as mostly made up the bulk of resistance fighters that sided with Assad against the Free Syrian army and Salafi Islamist groups, such as, Tahrir al-Sham, Jaysh al-Sunnah, Islamic front, Ahrar al-Sham and etc. These have contributed to the increase of tension between Sunnis and Shi'as. However, the fight against Israel have united Muslims, but the biggest obstacle the Muslim community must get through are the Salafist and Wahhabi clerics, espousing tayyafiyah (sectarianism)

(How many deaths...)

"...You are only a warner & (there is) a GUIDE for every people" s13 v7

Whilst chanting la'an, requesting the removal of ALLAH's blessings from the killers of Imam Ali a.s, it made me ponder-

"How many deaths did Imam Ali a.s face before actual one on 21st Mahe Ramadan?"

*On the Prophet saww death bed when he (saww) was refused a pen & paper?

*when the companions ran to Saqifa?

*when ppl stopped saluting Ali a.s?

*When the burning door was thrown upon his expectant wife s.a?

*when Fadak was taken?

*The Shura & being 1 in 6?

...How many deaths did Ali (as) die & Who is the killer of Ali (as)?

I believe, Ali (as) lived a life FULL of deaths.

That's why I chant La'an 100 times on such nights of Qadr to-

1. Visualize a death upon each recitation of la'an

2. Pray not to be amongst the killers of Ali a.s thru my actions, ignorance or demeanor.

They ask you if you believe in God...We say look at Imam Ali a.s who upon being struck in prayer & what he a.s told his followers not to abuse his a.s killer but rather give him water for he looked scared...treat him as a guest & if Imam a.s survives he a.s will forgive, for God loves those who forgive.

Whoever Imam a.s worships, I want to worship his a.s God...

I wonder about those who call Ali a.s god.. How great the God we have, if Ali a.s is His swt slave.

Tonight as the 'silent' Quran descends, the 'vocal' Quran ascends.

Tonight of Qadr. What a blessing we dont know if we will ever get back.

Let's maximise it starting with salat, charity and duas for one another and Imam Mahdi ajtf and all oppressed iA and Sura Fatiha for kul marhumeen.

🍂🥀🍂 Fatima Zahra's (sa) 🍂🥀🍂

🥀 Will to Imam Ali (as) 🥀

Imam Ali (as) was surprised to find that his dear wife had left her bed and had started doing the housework; he asked her about it and she replied:

"This is the last day of my life. I want to wash my children's hair and clothes, because they will soon be orphans, without a mother!!"

Imam Ali (as) then asked her about the source of know­ledge of this news

(the day of her departure).

She (sa) told him that she had seen the Messenger of Allah in her dream and he had told her that she was going to join him that night. She then asked Imam Ali (as) to execute her will.

He said:

"Instruct me to do anything you wish, daughter of Allah's Messenger."

Ali (as) then asked everyone to leave the house and he sat next to her.

Fatima (sa) started:

"Cousin, you are not accustomed to me being a False teller, undevoted, or have I disobeyed you since I have become your companion?"

Ali (as) said:

“Allah forbid!! You are more knowing of Allah, more devoted, more pious, and more honorable and more fearing of Allah than (to give me a reason) to reprimand you for disobeying me. Surely it is very painful for me to be separated from you and to lose you; but it is an inevitable destination. By Allah, you have renewed the sorrow I have just encountered with the death of Allah's Messenger; surely your death and departure will be a great calamity,

but to Allah do we belong, and to Him shall we return.'

What a painful, bitter and sad calamity. Surely this is a calamity for which there is not consolement, and a disaster for which there is no compensation."

Then they both cried and Imam Ali (as) embraced her head and said:

"Instruct me to do anything you wish; you certainly will find me devoted and I will execute everything that you command me to do. I shall also put your matters over mine."

She (sa) said:

"May Allah reward you with the best of goodness. Cousin, firstly I ask you to marry after my death, my niece Umamah; surely she will be to my children as I was. Besides, men cannot do without women."

Fatima (sa) then added:

"I ask you not to let anyone who did injustice to me to witness my funeral, for they certainly are enemies of mine, and the enemy of Allah's Messenger. Also don't give them the chance to pray over me, nor to any of their followers. Burry me at night when eyes are rested and sight is put to sleep."

Commenting on Imam Ali's speech after Fatima's burial, the commentator on Nahjul Balagha -

English version

published by Ansariyan Publication, (p.347) wrote:

"The treatment meted out to the daughter of the Prophet after his death has been extremely painful and sad.

Although Sayyedah Fatima (sa) did not live in this world more than a few months after the death of the Prophet (S), yet even this short period has a long tale of grief and woe (about her). In this connection, the first scene that strikes the eyes in that the arrangements for the funeral rites of the Prophet had not yet been made when the contest for power started in the Saqifa of Bani Sa'eda. Naturally, their leaving the body of the Prophet (without burial), must have injured Hadhrat Fatima's grief stricken heart to see that those who claimed love and attachment (to the Prophet) during his life, became so engrossed in their machinations for power that instead of consoling his only daughter, they did not even know when the Prophet (S) was given funeral bath and when he was buried; and the way they condoled her, was that crowded at her house with material to set fire to it and tried to secure allegiance by force with all the display of oppression, compulsion and violence. All these excesses were with a view to so obliterate the prestigious position of this house that it might not remain its lost prestige on any occasion. With this aim in view, in order to crush her economic position, her claim for (the estate of) Fadak was turned down by dubbing it as false, the effect of which was that Hadhrat Fatima (sa) made the dying will that none of them should attend her funeral."

Fatima Bint Muhammad (sa) was ready to meet her Lord. She bathed, than lay down in her garment... She then instructed Asma Bint Umais to wait a while and then to call her name; if there was no answer, this would mean that she (sa) had departed towards her Lord.

Asma waited awhile, then called Fatima's name... but there was no answer;

Asma repeated the call:

"O daughter of the chosen Muhammad!

O daughter of the most honorable of them whom women bore!

O daughter of the best of those who have walked on gravel!

O daughter of him who was at `A distance of but two bow lengths or (even) nearer"

(a Quranic verse, (53:9)

...There is no answer... silence overwhelms the house ...Asma then proceeds towards Fatima and finds her dead.

At that point, Hasan and Hussain (pbbuh) entered and asked:

"Where is our mother?"

Yet Asma uttered not a word!

Hasan and Hussain (as) proceeded towards their mother and found her dead. At this, Hussain (as) turned towards Hasan and said:

"May Allah console you for our Mother!"

Imam Ali (as) was at the Mosque. Hasan and Hussain (as) went to the Mosque and broke the news to their father. As soon as he (as) heard their words, he fell unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he said:

"Who will console me now, daughter of Muhammad (S) You used to console me, so who will take your place now?"

The Hashimite women were then gathered to receive the news of the great calamity... Yes, the calamity befell them once more, while the blood was still flowing from the wound of losing the Prophet...

Medina shakes...

Everyone came to console Ali (as) and his two children... Allah is with you,

Zahra's children...

It was just yesterday that you were inflicted with the death of your great father the Prophet of Allah and your new calamity is not any less than that one! But take patience, for this is the will of the Mighty Lord.

🕯

🕯🥀🕯 A QUIET FUNERAL 🕯🥀🕯

In the darkness of the jet black night, when eyes were asleep and voices were silent, a Heavenly procession left Ali's house while carrying the Messenger of Allah's daughter to her final abode.

This was on the night of the third (3rd) of Jamadi Al-Thani (the second), 11 A.H.

The heartbreaking procession moved towards an unknown location followed by a small number of devoted ones...

They were Ali, Hasan, Hussain, Zainab and Um Kulthum... Abu Dhar, Ammar, Miqdad, and Salman were following them. (pbbut)

Where are the thousands who inhabited Medina?!

One asks, and the answer came:

“Fatima (sa) requested that they may not be present at her funeral!!

The family and their friends hurry to bury Fatima... then they rush back to their own homes so that no one would know where Fatima was buried!

In such a matter, the first start from Ahlulbayt (as) set after the sun (the Prophet (S) and left everyone with the only light of Imamate!!

Here I was asked:

"What do you think about the end of the life of Fatima?

What will be the position of those who oppressed her in the hereafter!!!!?"

I waved my hand to him...

So long... with no word... dead silence...

So long!

But wait... can't you hear the Commander of the faithful... the known hero... Ali... Don't you realize that he is crying? Yet, who would not cry for being separated from the Mistress of women?

Listen to him, he is speaking to the Prophet (S):

"O Prophet of Allah, peace be upon you from me and from your daughter who has come to you and who has hastened to meet you. O Prophet of Allah! my patience about your chosen (daughter) has been exhausted and my power of endurance has weakened, except that I have ground for consolation in having endured the great hardship and heart rending event of your separation. I laid you down in your grave while your last breath had passed (when your head)

`Verily we are Allah's and verily unto Him shall we return.'

Holy Quran

(2:56)

…between my neck and chest.”

Now the trust has been returned and what had been given has been taken back. My grief knows no bounds, and my nights will remain sleepless till Allah chooses for me the house in which you are now residing. Certainly your daughter would apprise you of the joining together of your Ummah (people) for oppressing her. You ask her in detail and get all the news about the position. This happened when a long time had not elapsed and your remembrance had not disappeared. My salam be on you both, the salam of a grief stricken not of a disgusted or a hateful person; for if I go away, it is not because I am weary (of you); and if I stay, it is not due to lack of belief in what Allah has promised the endurers."

🕯

🥀🕯🥀 Failing Attempts 🥀🕯🥀

At sunrise people gathered to participate in Fatima's funeral, but they were informed that the darling of Allah's Messenger (S) had been secretly buried during the night.

Meanwhile, Ali (as) made the shapes of four fresh graves in Baqi' so as to conceal the location where Fatima (sa) was buried. When the people entered the graveyard, they were confused as to which spot was actually Lady Fatima Zahra's grave; the people turned towards each other and with feelings of guilt said:

"Our Prophet (S) has not left behind but one daughter, yet she has died and was buried without our participation in the funeral or the prayer rituals. We do not even realize the place where she has been buried”

Noticing that a revolt might be ignited because of the emotional atmosphere this event created, the governing party announced:

"Select a group of Muslim women and ask them to dig these graves so that we may find Fatima (sa) and perform prayers on her."

Yes! They attempted to execute the plan, violating Fatima's will and causing Ali's attempts to hide the grave to lay vainly.

Have they forgotten Ali's sharp sword and his well? known courage!! Did they really think that Ali would remain indifferent to their outrageous actions up to the point of letting them dig Fatima's grave?!

Imam Ali (as) did not fight back after the Prophet's death because he considered the Muslim's unity and over all interests. Yet, this did not mean that he would ignore their villainous crimes against Fatima even after her death. In other words, Ali (as) was asked by the Prophet (S) to have patience, but only to a certain extent; when Ali (as) received the news of the about to be executed plot, he put on his fighting gear and rushed towards Baqi'.

A man from among the people called out:

"This is Ali Ibn Abu Talib (as) leveling his sword and saying:

“If anyone moves even a mere stone from these graves, I shall strike even the "back of the last follower of the unjust."

People who realized Ali's seriousness, took his threats with complete belief that he would do just as he said if anyone were to oppose him. Yet, a man from the governing ones addressed Ali (as) by saying:

"What is the matter, Abu Al Hassan! By Allah, we shall dig her grave out and perform prayers on her."

Ali (as) then grabbed the man by his clothes, shook him and threw him to the ground and said:

"Son of the Sawada! I have abandoned my right to prevent people from forsaking their faith, but as regards Fatima's grave, by Him in whose hand is my soul, if you and your followers attempt to do anything to it, I will irrigate the ground with your blood!!"

At this, Abu Bakr said;

“Abu Al Hassan, I ask you by the right of Allah's Messenger, and by Him Who is above the Throne: leave him alone and we will not do anything which you would not approve of..."

Thus, until this day, the location of Fatima's grave remains a secret.

🕯🥀🕯 Fatima Zahra (sa) 🕯🥀🕯

🥀 On The Last Day 🥀

On the Day when the oppressed shall bite their hands (in fear); when the oppressors shall be gathered in humiliation and lowliness, remembering their disgraceful and shameful deeds:

Then every one of them shall review his file, which is packed with oppression against his chosen worshippers. On that Day shall every human, whatever color, creed, faith, and his deeds may be shall be gathered... no one will be left behind... even the fetus who was the victim of abortion shall come that Day to present his case...

Then the great personality of Lady Zahra (sa) shall become manifest to every soul...

Following are several narrations reported by Ahlulbayt (as) regarding

Fatima (sa) on the Last Day:

🕯 1. Hakim reported in

Al Mustadrak

(v.2, p.153) - that Ali (as) said:

"I heard the Prophet say:

“On the Day of Rising, a caller shall announce from beyond the veil:

“O gathered people, lower your eyes so that Fatima, the Daughter of Muhammad, may pass."

This narration has also been reported by:

Ibn Al Athir in Usd Al Ghaba

(v.5, p.523)

Ganji Shafiee in Kifayat At Talib

(p. 212)

Dhahabi in Mizan Al Etedal

(v.2, p.18)

and by

Hamwini in Yanabi' Al Mawaddah (p.104) - who added the following to it:

Ali (as) reported that the Prophet said:

"On the Day of Rising, a caller shall call from the sole of the Throne:

“O people of Resurrection, cast your eyes down, so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass while holding Al Hussain's shirt, which will (still) be saturated with blood.'

She will then embrace the leg of the Throne and say:

“O (Allah), You are the Omnipotent and Just; pass the judgment between me and those who killed my son."

(The Prophet (S) added):

Then He shall judge according to my Sunnah, by the Lord of Kaaba, Fatima will then say:

“O Allah! grant me intercedence for everyone who cried for his disaster; Allah will then grant her intercedence for them."

🕯 2. Abu No'eum in Dala'el Al Nobowwah, Ibn Hijr in Al Sawa'eq Al Mohreqah, and others have reported that Abu Ayuoub Ansari said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: A caller shall call from the sole of the Throne:

O gathered people, lower your heads and cast your eyes down so that Fatima Bint Muhammad (sa) may pass on the Path.

He added:

“She then passes accompanied by seventy thousand Huri Al Een, as if they were a flashing light."

🕯 3. Many Sunni Scholars have reported that Allah's Messenger stated that Lady Fatima Zahra (sa) shall arrive at the gathering place (while) riding Ghadha' or Gusua female camel.

🕯 4. Jaber Ibn Abdullah Ansari said:

"I said to Abu Ja’far (Al Baqer (A)):

“May I be your sacrifice son of Allah's Messenger; narrate to me a hadith in regard to the noble traits of your grandmother Fatima, so that if I report it to your Shiites (followers), they would rejoice at (hearing) it!”

Abu Ja’far (A) said:

“My father told me that my grandfather reported that Allah's Messenger said:

"On the Day of Rising, Minbars of light shall be erected for the prophets and messengers, of which my Minbar shall be the highest among all Minbars on that day.

Allah will then say:

Deliver a speech,' so I will deliver a speech that none of the prophets or messengers have ever heard. Then for the successors (of prophets) shall be erected Minbars of light, and in the middle of these Minbars one shall be erected for my successor, Ali Ibn Abu Talib, (as) which will be higher than all their Minbars.

Allah will then say:

“Ali, deliver a speech.'

So he will deliver a speech like no successor has ever heard before. Then for the children of the prophets and messengers shall be erected Minbars of light; among them shall be a Minber of light for my two sons, grandsons and the two flowers of my life (Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Hussain (as).

Then it shall be said to them:

“Deliver speeches."

So they will deliver two speeches like none of the children of the prophets and messengers have ever heard before!

“A caller Gabriel shall then call:

“Where is Fatima Bint Muhammad?

She (sa) will rise..." (until he said):

“Allah, the blessed and exalted is His Name, shall say:

“O people of the gathering; to whom does honor belong today?”

So Muhammad, Ali, Hasan and Hussain (as) will say:

“To Allah, The one, The Almighty”

‘Allah the Exalted will say:

“O people of the gathering: lower your heads and cast your eyes down, for this is Fatima proceeding towards Paradise.' Gabriel shall then bring her a female camel from the female camels of Paradise; its sides shall be embellished, its muzzle with fresh pearls, and it shall have a saddle of coral. It shall kneel down in her presence; so she will ride it. Allah will then send 100,000 angels to accompany her on her right side; and 100,000 angels to accompany her on her left side; and 100,000 angels to lift her onto their wings until they bring her to the gate of Paradise. When she is near the gate of Paradise, she will look to her side.

Allah will then say:

“Daughter of My beloved, why did you look to your side after I gave the command that you enter my Paradise?”

She will say:

“My Lord, I wished that my position would be realized on such a Day!"

Allah will say:

“Daughter of My beloved!

Go back and look for everyone in whose heart was love for you or for any of your progeny; take their hand and lead them into paradise!"

Abu Ja’far (A) said:

“By Allah; Jabir, she will pick her Shiites (followers) and those who love her just like a bird picks good seeds from bad seeds. So that when her Shiites are near the gate of Paradise, Allah will inspire their hearts to look to their sides; when they do -

Allah, The Almighty, will say:

“My beloved ones, why did you look around when Fatima, the daughter of my beloved one, interceded for you?'

They will answer:

“Our Lord! We hoped that our position would be known on such a day!'

Allah will then say:

“My beloved ones, go back and look for everyone who loved you for your love for Fatima;

Look for everyone who fed you for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who clothed you for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who gave you a drink for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who prevented (Gheeba) backbiting from being done against you for the love of Fatima...

Take their hands and lead them into Paradise...”

🕯 5. Ibn Abbas said:

“I heard Amir Al Mo'mineen, Ali (as) say:

“Once the Messenger of Allah entered the house of Fatima and found her in a sad mood.

So he said:

“What has made you sad daughter?'

Fatima replied:

“Father, I remembered the gathering (Day), and people standing naked on the Day of Resurrection!'

He said:

“Daughter, surely it will be a great Day. But Gabriel informed me that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said that the first one upon whom the ground shall be split opened is me, then your husband, Ali Ibn Abu Talib (as); then Allah shall send Gabriel accompanied by seventy thousand angels and he will erect on your grave seven domes of light, after which Israfil will bring you three garments of light and stand by your head and say to you:

“O Fatima Bint Muhammad, rise towards your gathering place.”

“You (Fatima) shall then rise secure from fear and veiled (in privacy). Israfil will hand you the garments and you will wear them. Rafael will then bring you a female camel of light; its muzzle shall be made of fresh pearls and on it shall be a howdan of gold. You will ride it and Rafael shall lead it by its muzzle while seventy thousand angels holding the banners of glorification accompany you. When the caravan hurries with you, seventy thousand Huris shall receive you rejoicing at seeing you; while every one of them will be holding a censer of light from which the fragrance of incense is spread without fire. They shall be wearing crowns of jewels embellished with green chrysolites."

🕯 6. Bihar al-Anwar

(v.10) - on the authority of Amali Sadouq reports that Imam Baqir (as) said:

"I heard Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari say:

Allah's Messenger said:

“On the Day of Rising, My daughter, Fatima, shall arrive riding a female camel from among the camels of Paradise to her right shall be seventy thousand angels and to her left shall also be seventy thousand angels; Gabriel will be holding its muzzle and calling with the loudest of voices:

`Cast down your eyes so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass!”

“Then shall no prophet, messenger, truthful one, or martyr remain without casting their eyes down until Fatima passes... Then a call shall come from the side of Allah, the Exalted:

“My beloved one and the daughter of my beloved one; ask Us and you shall be given (whatever you wish), and intercede, your intercedence shall be accepted. By my Honor and Exaltation, the oppression of no oppressor shall pass My (judgement) today.”

She (Fatima) will then say:

“O Allah, My Master;

My progeny, My Shiites (followers), the Shiites of my progeny, those who love me and those who love my progeny.”

She will then hear a call from Allah's side, may His Name be exalted:

"Where are Fatima's progeny, her Shiites, those who love her, and those who love her progeny?"

They will then come forward, surrounded by angels of mercy, and Fatima will lead them into Paradise.”

Waafat Sayyida Fatima al Zahra (sa) 🏴 لبيك يا زهراء

3 Jumada II 1440 - 9 February 2019 🏴

One narration of her death is recorded as the 3rd Jumadee Al Thanee.

May Allah (swt) curse to the highest degree Omar ibn al-Khattab who killed Fatima Al-Zahra (sa) and all those who attacked the house of Imam Ali (as). Lanato-Allah ala ahlil Saqifa and the leaders of Saqifa: Abu Bakr, Omar and Othman!

May Allah (swt) bless and reward Abu Lu’lu’ah who retaliated for the injustice of killing the Lady of Light Fatima Al-Zahra (sa).

Please wear black and actively show your lamentation over this great tragedy. Mourn and express your sorrow and grief. May Allah (swt) hasten the reappearance of the Imam of Our Time Imam Mahdi (atfs) so we can visit the Holy Grave of the Lady of Light, the Mother of the Two Chiefs of Paradise! The who sacrificed so much for Islam and who is a role model for all humanity.

The 18th of Dhu’l-Hijjah

On the Islamic calendar (Hijri calendar) today marks an important historical event. Shias (and some minority members of other sects) would come to regard this day as the coronation of Ali ibn Abu Talib. On this day, the Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah had his large Muslim caravan halt near the Ghadeer (a pool of water) in a plain that was known as Khumm. The howdahs of the camels were put together to make a makeshift for the pulpit, and there, the Prophet began a speech. In this he ordered the Muslims to obey and follow his Ahlul-Bayt (household). He then lifted Ali’s hand and exclaimed “For whomsoever I am the Maula (Master), Ali is his Maula (Master). O’ God! Be Thou a Friend of him who is a friend of Ali, and be Thou an Enemy of him who is an enemy to Ali. O’ God! Help him who helps Ali, and abandon him who abandons him.” It was the 18th of Dhu’l-Hijjah in 10AH. On the Gregorian calendar it would have been March 16, 632. Although, true loyalty to Ali did not remain much after the Prophet’s passing. Following Shi’ite historiography, at a location called Saqifa a number of men plotted to follow their own leadership instead of Ali’s. Abu Bakr, the leader at Saqifa, had gotten the support of his closest ally Umar ibn al-Khattab and of the Umayyad tribe. He quickly gathered the support and loyalty of another faction, al-Ansar, who were vital to Islam. He gained everyone’s allegiance while Ali was cleaning the body of the late Prophet. In Shi’ite historiography, Abu Bakr very clearly usurped the God-given right of Ali. Abu Bakr would come to be the first Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, until he named his friend Umar ibn al-Khattab as his own heir. On Umar’s deathbed, he made preparations for Uthman to become the Caliph, and after Uthman was killed by a rebellion, the people returned to Ali some 25 years later. As the Caliphate was on the brink of civil war, Ali accepted the people’s requests after they ignored him refusing the position. On the 18th of Dhu’l-Hijjah, 35AH (June 17, 656), Ali leaned against the pulpit in Medina and just about all of the Mujahireen and Ansar members that were in the city came to swear their allegiance to Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib. He was the fourth and last Caliph of the Rashidun.

I don’t believe I’ve written on here about the Islamicate world at all, and I usually focus more on things during a later time period, but today is a holiday for Shias and I’ve been reading about the early Ummah (Muslim community) quite recently, so I figured this might be interesting. I think most non-Muslims are unfamiliar with Shi’ite historiography, so this might be a first look in. I just decided to write something impromptu for the holiday. Eid Ghadeer Mubarak for anyone celebrating!

... after taking the oath of allegiance (In Saqifa) Abu Bakr sat on the pulpit and said;

‎And peace be upon the first martyr after the Holy Prophet ص, Mohsin ibn Ali ع — may God's eternal curse be upon the leaders of Saqifa.

Punishment for the killers of Mohsin ibn Ali عليه السلام

Imam Jafar (عليه السلام) : And the first one to be Judged would be Mohsin bin Ali (عليه السلام), regarding his (عليه السلام) murder, then regarding Qunfuz (لعن الله عليه). They would both be brought, he (لعن الله عليه) and his (لعن الله عليه) companion and be struck with the whips of fire, if one whip from these were to fall upon the ocean, it would boil from its east to its west, and if it were to be placed upon a mountain of the world, it would melt until it becomes ash.

They (لعن الله عليه) would be struck by it. Then they would be knelt by Amir Al-Momineen (عليه السلام) in front of Allah (ﷻ) for the contention with the fourth, and three would be entered into a pit and it would be layered upon them. No one will see them, nor will they be seeing anyone.

As the people of Moses deserted Aaron & followed the Samari, the people of Muhammed (s) deserted Ali(a) & followed their own fancies.
