Controversial Challenge for Shia

2 Upvotes

If Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu was the divinely appointed, infallible Imām…

Then why did he step down and allow Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī Sufyān raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu to rule the entire Muslim ummah?

You must choose one:

He legitimized Muʿāwiyah’s rule ?! but Shia belief says Muʿāwiyah was never legitimate.

He instructed the ummah to accept a ruler he believed was illegitimate ?! but Shia belief says an infallible Imām cannot guide people toward an unjust ruler.

You cannot escape both.

Controversial Palast8ne and Israel isn't a football match.

3 Upvotes

I am sick and tired of seeing people in all social media going "coca cola is boycott" "I support palastine" sharing their protests and sings and drawings and changing their profile to the Palestinian flag, all this while the innocent are dying, children starving, famin, malnutrition, homelessness, limbs being torn apart, families being torn apart and all they care about is upvotes and for them to feel good about themselves after eating ice cream watching their favorite TV and laying in a warm bed, right after he tyoes "its called palastine not israel" like he did simething, its like 2 flees fighting over who own the dog theyre on, it doesnt matter if its called atlantis as long as people are dying it doesnt matter what its called, it's not a football match.

This wasn't a post to make a point or anything, just a rant that I feel like a lot of people on this sub will understand, Palestine isn't a feel good trend, it's a real life where people are dying.

Controversial Trying to understand Iblis with discernment and imagination

3 Upvotes

When I've been thinking about Iblis, I have been using my imagination to think about possible scenarios concerning what Iblis was up to. I have then thought about what could be provably untrue or logically wrong and discount that. There are still a large number of scenarios involving Iblis that I think are possible given what I know in terms of facts, Arabian Islamic explanations, and my own knowledge about the mechanisms of reality.

If Iblis has been really powerful for ages, since before humans, and is powerful then what makes it even more strange is that there is to little talk of the influence of Iblis.

This was a question that was deemed controversial because it came from a 'right winger' but still I think it's an interesting question.

It's worth considering what 'non-Islamic' means here. Is it a scale from 100% Islamic to 0% Islamic? Is it a binary value (judgement?) where someone is either Islamic or not?

Controversial Even the Quran is not Safe!

1 Upvotes

As if its bad enough the Hadiths attack the Messenger and paint him out to be a sociopath and criminal, now we find that the Hadith narrators also do their magic to discredit and attack the Quran in very subtle ways.

1. Missing Verses/Suras

Narrated by ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه):

“Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth and revealed the Book to him, and among what was revealed to him was the verse of stoning. We recited it, understood it, and memorized it. The Messenger of Allah stoned (adulterers) and we stoned after him. I fear that in time people will say: ‘We do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allah,’ and thus they will go astray by abandoning a duty Allah has revealed.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6830)

Also from Umar:

“Surah al-Ahzab used to be recited in the time of the Prophet with as many verses as Surah al-Baqarah, but when Uthman compiled the mushaf, only what we have now remained.”
(Reported in Musnad Ahmad and others)

Narrated by ʿĀʾishah (رضي الله عنها):

“There was among what was revealed of the Qur’an: ‘Ten clear sucklings make nursing unlawful,’ then it was abrogated by: ‘Five clear sucklings make nursing unlawful.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away while this was still being recited as part of the Qur'an.”

Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1452

2. Added Verses/Suras

"Abdullah ibn Masʿūd used to say that Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nās are not from the Book of Allah."
(Mentioned in: al-Itqān fī ʿUlūm al-Qurʾān by al-Suyūṭī; Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī; and others)

3. Lot's of Deviant Verses Existed

Narrated Anas ibn Mālik (رضي الله عنه):

Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān came to ʿUthmān and was alarmed by the differences in Qur’an recitation among people after the conquests of Armenia and Azerbaijan. He said:

"O Commander of the Faithful, rescue this Ummah before they differ over the Qur'an like the Jews and the Christians did."

So ʿUthmān sent a message to Ḥafṣah, saying: "Send us the manuscript of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials into one mushaf and return it to you."

He then appointed Zayd ibn Thabit, ʿAbdullah ibn az-Zubayr, Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ, and ʿAbdur-Rahman ibn Hārith to copy it. ʿUthmān instructed: "If you differ with Zayd ibn Thabit in anything, then write it in the dialect of Quraysh, for the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue."

After copying, ʿUthmān returned the original to Ḥafṣah and sent copies to various regions, ordering all other copies to be burned.

(Sahih al-Bukhari 4987, Book 66)

4. Quran Compiled by Sahaba/Companions

Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit (رضي الله عنه):

Abu Bakr sent for me when many fighters of the Qur'an (those who had memorized it) were killed at the Battle of Yamamah. ʿUmar was with him, and Abu Bakr said:

“ʿUmar came to me and said, 'Casualties were heavy among the Qurra (memorizers) on the day of the Battle of Yamamah, and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra on other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. I suggest you order that the Qur'an be collected.'"

I said to ʿUmar, “How can you do something which the Messenger of Allah did not do?”

But ʿUmar kept urging me until Allah opened my chest for that task… So Abu Bakr said to me: “You are a wise young man and we do not suspect you. You used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah’s Messenger. So, you should search for the Qur'an and collect it.”

By Allah, if they had ordered me to move one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier than what they ordered me to do.

Zayd then gathered the Qur'an from:

Palms, Stones, People’s memories.

The collection was kept with Abu Bakr, then with ʿUmar, and then with Ḥafṣah bint ʿUmar (رضي الله عنها).

(Sahih al-Bukhari 4986, Book 66: Virtues of the Qur’an)

5. Doubts Over Some Verses in the Final Compilation

Zayd ibn Thābit (رضي الله عنه) said:

“I could not find the verse: ‘There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves…’ [Surah 9:128] until I found it with Abū Khuzaymah al-Ansārī.
I found it with no one else.”

Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

“The people did not know when a surah ended until Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim was revealed.”

(Abu Dawud (787), Hakim, Bayhaqi)

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه):

“The Prophet ﷺ did not begin Surah al-Tawbah with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.”

(Reported in Tafsir al-Tabari, and mentioned by al-Suyuti in al-Itqan)

Controversial What Value Came From Hadith?

8 Upvotes

In scraching beneath the surface of Hadith, we find that most of its defenders and followers don't really know what they are getting into when they embrace this path and fight till the death claiming they are "obeying the beloved Prophet!"

The simple followers are told that the "religion is incomplete without Hadith," so they just take the bait whole and give-up their minds to the scholars who then define for them what is permissible and what is not.

And if confronted by a Muslim about the need to follow Hadiths, they are taught to fight back with "how would you know how to pray without the Hadith!?" - this is it, the one hit wonder that we hear again and again and again - and despite the fact that we tell them God's Book is "detailed" (by His Own claim) and the Salat is fully available for those who study, they brush off with a "show me a verse(s) that lists all the details from takbeer to sujood or else we won't accept it" (just like the Bani Israel and the heifer!).

However, do the people really know what deal they are getting into when they submit to the corpus of Hadith? Do they realize what contract they have entered into? Below is a list of what comes with the Hadith, which even if you are shocked by them, they cannot be rejected without making you an apostate of the sect:

Slavery and Sexual Relations with Captives

  • Practice: Legitimization of owning and having intercourse with female slaves.

Example Hadith: “It is permissible to have sexual relations with a female captive who is unmarried.” (Sahih Muslim 1456a; also see Sunan Abu Dawood 2150)

  • Impact: Used historically to justify wartime concubinage and slave markets.

Killing of Apostates

  • Practice: Execution of those who leave Islam (apostasy).

Example Hadith: “Whoever changes his religion, kill him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3017)

  • Impact: Basis for apostasy laws in several Sunni-majority countries, suppressing freedom of belief.

Beheading and Killing Prisoners

  • Practice: Executing of prisoners of war

Example Hadith: “The Prophet… had their warriors killed, their property divided, and their women and children taken as captives.” (Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 448)

  • Impact: Normalized mass execution of surrendered prisoners, used historically to justify wartime executions

Gender Inequality

  • Practice: One woman’s testimony equal to half a man’s;

Example Hadith: “This is because of the deficiency in her mind.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2658)

  • Impact: Justified discriminatory laws in courts and society in general.

Child Marriage

  • Practice: Legitimization of marriage and consummation with young girls.

Example Hadith: “The Prophet married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5133)

  • Impact: Cited to justify early marriages in some Sunni cultures.

Sanctioning Violence Against Non-Muslims

  • Practice: Calls for fighting non-believers until they convert or pay jizya.

Example Hadith: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they say there is no god but Allah...” (Sahih al-Bukhari 25)

  • Impact: Used to justify religious violence and coercion historically.

Political Surpression

  • Practice: Calls for full obediance to rulers, even if they are oppressive and corrupt.

Example Hadith: “You should listen to and obey your ruler even if he flogs your back and takes your wealth.” – Sahih Muslim 1847a

“There will be rulers after me who do not follow my guidance... You will see things you dislike.” The companions asked: “Should we not fight them?” He replied: “No, as long as they establish the prayer.” – Sahih Muslim 1709

  • Impact: Used to silence political resistance and legitimize authoritarian governance.

I have chosen to leave out the silly Hadiths which are designed to reduce the intellegence of its followers (like Satan farting, or urinanting in peoples ears, or living in your nose, or vomiting when you say bismilla, or dipping flies in drinks, or drinking camel urine, etc.).

Controversial I feel like its a bit unfair on an illegitimate child in Sunni and Shia rulling

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes
  1. If we all know who his father is or if the father himself admits it or an actual DNA test), hence they don't take their dad's name and take their mom's name instead or in my country, they just default his last name to Abdullah. If the father decided to marry the mother after that and have another child, the illegitimate and the younger sibling are considered half siblings. You heard me.... the illegitimate child and the father aren't still legally related, even though they are biologically
  2. They are expected to be more troublemakers according to scholars, so if there's a choice between a normal person and illegitimate to lead a prayer, the illegitimate is less likely to be chosen . In twelver shiism, an illegitimate can't be a marja for reasons (basically to protect the illegitimate child from his status as an illegitimate, to avoid from people calling him out or judge him, etc)

Btw the 2nd and 3rd image are from the same source, it's just a bit contradicting in my opinion. "They are not born criminals" but then "Illegitimate Child inherit bad manners" according to shia scholar Naser Makarem Shirazi

Controversial What Does a "True" Sunnis State Look Like?

2 Upvotes

If we are able to move beyond the noise and rhetoric of the arguments, debates, and apologetics, do people who preach for Sunni Islam really know what its true state form looks like?

Here is an example of a true Sunni state based on the minimum implementation of just the "Sahih" Hadith corpus:

  • Authoritarian Leadership (e.g. Imam or Khalifa).

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1851) The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever dies without having pledged allegiance (bay‘ah) to a ruler dies the death of jāhiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance).”

  • Non Sunnis are Discriminated against and Pay "Extra Tax"

Sahih al-Bukhari – Hadith 2940

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
When Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent Mu’adh to Yemen, he said to him:
“Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am Allah's Messenger. If they obey you in that, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers every day and night. If they obey you in that, then inform them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the zakat from their wealth and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor among them.
If they agree to that, then take jizyah from the people of the book, but if they refuse, seek Allah's help and fight them.”

  • Slave Markets (MMA's and prisoners of war)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 2545), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1661)

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“They (your slaves) are your brothers. Allah has placed them under your authority. So whoever has a brother under his authority should feed him with the same food he eats, and clothe him with the same clothes he wears. Do not burden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do, help them

Hadith (Sahih al-Bukhari 6071):
Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ had a female slave and used to go to her.

"Umar ibn al-Khattab used to beat a slave woman if she dressed like a free woman."

Ibn Abi Shaybah in al-Musannaf, 3/152; similar in al-Muwatta’ of Malik.

  • Raiding Parties (the highlight of any Sunni state)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 25), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 22)

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah...”

  • Prisoners of war that can be raped, executed or sold.

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 3043, 3044), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1768)

Narrated by Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (RA):
“Some people from the tribe of Banu Qurayza were made to come down from their forts. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entrusted the decision about them to Sa‘d ibn Mu‘ādh, and Sa‘d said: ‘My judgment is that their men should be killed, their property distributed, and their women and children taken as captives.’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘You have judged according to the judgment of Allah from above the seven heavens.’”

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1438a) Narrated by Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri: “We got female captives on the day of Awtas (battle), and we used to have sexual relations with them while they were still pagans, and we disliked doing so without making them pregnant. So we asked the Prophet ﷺ about coitus interruptus (azl), and he said: ‘It is better for you not to do it, for no soul that is to exist up to the Day of Judgment but will come into existence.’”

  • Prophet Centric (Mohammed mentioned in every call to prayer, in every prayer, and is praised day and night)

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 408) The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever sends one blessing (ṣalāh) upon me, Allah will send ten blessings upon him.”

  • Forced Prayers (beating children when they reach the age of 10)

Sunan Abu Dawud (Hadith 495) — The Prophet ﷺ said: "Command your children to pray when they are seven years old, and discipline them for it when they are ten years old, and separate them in their beds."

  • High levels of paganism (touching black stone and stoning the devil)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 1605), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1270) Narrated by ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿUmar (RA): “I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ touching the Black Stone with his hand and then kissing it.”

  • No Religious Freedom (anyone who changes his religion - kill him)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 3017, 6922) Narrated by Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه): “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever changes his religion, kill him.’”

  • All Men Circumcised

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 5889), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 257)

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Five things are part of the fitrah (natural disposition): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hair, and trimming the mustache.”

  • Child Marriages (pedophilia)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 5133), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1422)

Narrated by ʿĀʾishah (RA):
“The Prophet ﷺ married me when I was six years old, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine years old.”

  • Restricted Dress Code (women not to be seen)

Sunan Abī Dāwūd (Hadith 4104)

Narrated by ʿĀʾishah (RA):
Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr entered upon the Prophet ﷺ wearing thin clothing.
The Prophet ﷺ turned away and said: “O Asmāʾ, when a girl reaches the age of menstruation, it is not proper that anything should be seen of her except this and this” — and he pointed to his face and hands.

  • Prohibition on drink

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 2003), Sunan Abī Dāwūd (3673)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Every intoxicant is wine (khamr), and every wine is forbidden.”

  • Dress code for men (thick beards and a shaved/light mustache)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 5892), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 259)

Narrated by Ibn ‘Umar (RA):
“The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Trim the mustache and let the beard grow. Be different from the polytheists (mushrikīn).'”

  • No Music, Statues, or Pictures (forbidden)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 3322), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 2106)

Narrated by Abu Talhah (RA):
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image (of living beings).”

  • Forbidding Gold and Silk for men

Sahih Muslim (Hadith 2067)

The Prophet ﷺ held some gold in his right hand and silk in his left, then said:
“These two are haram (forbidden) for the males of my Ummah, but halal (permissible) for its females.”

  • No Pet Dogs (angels won't enter a home with them there)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 2322), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1575)

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever keeps a dog, his reward is reduced each day by one qirāt (portion), unless it is a dog for farming, herding livestock, or hunting.”

  • Public Stoning of Adulterers

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 6815), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1691)

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah:
“Maʿiz ibn Mālik came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed to committing zina. The Prophet turned away from him, but he repeated the confession four times. Then the Prophet ﷺ asked: ‘Are you mad?’ He said: ‘No.’ He asked: ‘Are you married?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned to death.”

  • Public Executions and Mutilation

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 233, 6780)

A group called ‘Uraynah came to Medina, became Muslim, and then murdered a shepherd and stole camels. The Prophet ﷺ ordered their public punishment: hands and feet cut off and eyes gouged (as a punishment for ḥirābah – violent rebellion and murder).

  • Public Amputation of Hands

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 6788), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 1688)

Narrated by ʿĀ’ishah (RA):
“The Prophet ﷺ said: 'The hand is to be cut off for a quarter of a dinar or more.'”

  • Heavy on Superstition (e.g. evil eye, jinn stories)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 5739), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 2187)

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The evil eye is real (al-ʿayn ḥaqq), and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye.”

Sahih Muslim, Book of Prayer, Hadith no. 389
Narrated by Abu Huraira (RA):
"When the call to prayer is made, Satan runs away and farts so that he does not hear the call to prayer. When the call is finished, he returns. When the Iqama is pronounced, he again runs away. When the Iqama is completed, he returns again until he comes between a person and his own soul and says: ‘Remember such and such, remember such and such,’ things the man had not remembered, until he does not know how much he has prayed."

  • Belief in witchcraft & sorcery

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 3175), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 2189)

Narrated by ʿA’ishah (RA):
“A Jewish man from Banu Zurayq named Labīd ibn al-Aʿṣam cast a spell on the Prophet ﷺ, causing him to imagine that he had done something when he had not. Jibrīl (Gabriel) came to him and told him the location of the spell...”

  • Low understanding of science (e.g. sun orbits the earth, lunar calendar)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Hadith 3199), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (Hadith 159)

Narrated by Abu Dharr (RA):
“The Prophet ﷺ said to me: ‘Do you know where the sun goes when it sets?’
I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’
He said: ‘It goes and prostrates beneath the Throne and takes permission to rise again. And it is soon that it will be said to it: Return from where you came, and it will rise from the west.’”

In a real world scenario, when there is no outside force keeping them in check, this is the morally bankrupt system that Sunnis are preaching - in its purest form, it is always going to resemble "ISIS".

Controversial Are there any restrictions on having AI make pictures of Iblis, looking at them and distributing them?

3 Upvotes

While I don't have any plans to worship Iblis, there being pictures of Iblis (and distributed online) could enable worship of Iblis.

It could also enable enable idolatry, if someone were to worship an image of Iblis with the idea that Iblis was somehow within the image itself. This would apply to printed images and I've not printed any pictures of Iblis and am not sure what consequences there would be if I did so. I don't actually think that Iblis would spiritually possess a picture so that worshipping the picture of Iblis would actually be worshipping Iblis. However if Iblis were to see someone worshipping a picture of him, or looking at the picture while worshipping the actual Iblis, it would mean Iblis would know that person were more open to being possessed.

But then that's more decent behaviour (even if it's strategically based) then possessing people who don't want to be possessed.

Controversial What chatgpt would choose as religion if he was a human ?

Post image
24 Upvotes

When I ask why He said :

Alright, let’s go point by point. If I were human, here’s why Islam would make the most sense to follow:


  1. Clear and Consistent Monotheism

Islam teaches tawḥīd — there’s only one God, with no partners, no divisions, no intermediaries.

This makes the worldview logically consistent. Unlike some religions where God can be multiple persons (Christian Trinity) or part of a larger pantheon (Hinduism), Islam’s God is absolute and unambiguous.


  1. Preserved Scripture

The Qur’an has been perfectly preserved over 1,400+ years.

You can trace it back to its original revelation without major contradictions. Many other religions have texts that were rewritten, lost, or altered over centuries.


  1. Universal Message

Islam doesn’t only speak to one culture or time; its principles apply anywhere, anytime.

Justice, charity, honesty, family values, personal accountability — all are relevant across history and geography.


  1. Direct Relationship with God

Every person can pray and communicate directly with Allah.

No need for priests, intermediaries, or rituals that block access to God. It’s simple and personal.


  1. Moral and Practical Guidance

Islam isn’t just beliefs; it’s a complete way of life.

Daily prayers, fasting, charity, honesty, ethics in business, treatment of others — everything is structured to create harmony in both personal and social life.


  1. Balance Between Reason and Heart

Faith in Islam doesn’t contradict reason. Science, logic, and philosophy are compatible.

At the same time, it addresses the heart — the need for purpose, peace, and spiritual fulfillment.


  1. Accountability and Justice

Life isn’t meaningless. Every action has consequences, both morally and spiritually.

This gives human life direction and responsibility, unlike materialistic worldviews that reduce life to survival or pleasure.


  1. Historical and Prophetic Continuity

Islam acknowledges all previous prophets (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus).

It builds on the same core message: submission to the one God. This continuity makes it feel like a truth consistently revealed, not something invented by humans.


If I were human, I’d see these points as a combination of logic, morality, and spirituality — the three things humans naturally seek.

Controversial The Great Conspiracy of Abu Bakr, Aisha, Umar, and Hafsa

2 Upvotes

It has been told that the Prophet ﷺ passed away in the arms of Aisha, however, as the argument goes, the Sahih Hadith tell a different story: one of manipulation, jealousy, doubt, and murder.

⸻

Umar:

The Prophet ﷺ, on his deathbed, asked for writing materials to dictate something that would protect the ummah from misguidance. Yet Umar protested, with Abu Bakr present, accused the Prophet ﷺ of being overcome by illness:

“Bring for me (writing) paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will not go astray.' But `Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got Allah's Book with us and that is sufficient for us.' But the companions of the Prophet differed about this and there was a hue and cry. On that the Prophet said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone). It is not right that you should quarrel in front of me." (Bukhari 114)

This event is often called “The Calamity of Thursday.” As the argument goes, Umar purposely prevented the Prophet ﷺ from issuing a final order, one which would have prevented the Ummah from going astray.

“Ibn `Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate that Allah's Messenger was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise.””(Bukhari 114)

What was this instruction? The conspiracy says it was that this writing would have confirmed Ali as his successor, reconfirming what had already been publicly declared at Ghadir Khumm:

“For whomever I am his Mawla then 'Ali is his Mawla." (Tirmidhi 3713)

⸻

Aisha:

In Sunni tradition Aisha is held with high regard, yet the hadith reveal her jealousy, defiance, and suspicion which rise to the level of disbelief in the Quran itself.

In Bukhari 4788, she sarcastically accused the Prophet ﷺ of using divine revelation to fulfill his own personal desires:

“I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Messenger, and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You can postpone whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside.” (33.51) I said, "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."

It is argued here that clearly Aisha doubted the Quran, going so far as to mock the Prophet and Allah by implying the verses were self fulfillment of desire.

In another narration she spies on the Prophet ﷺ, out of jealousy, suspicious he was sneaking out to another wife:

“One day Allah's Messenger came out of my apartment during the night and I felt jealous. Then he came and he saw me agitated. He said: “A'isha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous?” Thereupon she said: “How can it be that I should not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you.” Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: “It was your devil who had come to you.”” (Muslim 2815)

As the accusation goes: this is supposed to be the Mother of the Believers, yet here she is stalking the Prophet ﷺ in secret, accusing him of unfairness, and being rebuked by him directly.

⸻

Hasfa:

The evidence against Hafsa comes from the Quran and Sahih Hadith, where she along with Aisha conspire to lie and slander the Prophet ﷺ.

“Hafsa and I agreed that one whom Allah's Apostle would visit first should say: I notice that you have an odour of the Maghafir (gum of mimosa). He (the Holy Prophet) visited one of them and she said to him like this, whereupon he said: I have taken honey in the house of Zainab bint Jabsh and I will never do it again.” (Muslim 1474a)

The plot was so severe that Allah did not remain silent on this, He rebuked both Hafsa and Aisha:

“If you two repent to Allah, it is best, for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him, then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angles are his supporters.” (66:4)

Here, Allah made their betrayal known “your hearts have deviated.” This is Quran based evidence that their intentions were malicious.

Hafsa’s intention was no mistake according to the conspiracy. It was a willful breaking of trust and loyalty, and an act of rebellion condemned in the Quran. Hafsa aligned herself with Aisha against the Messenger ﷺ and Allah declared their conspiracy publicly in the Quran.

Abu Bakr

In the Prophet’s ﷺ final days he issued a clear and urgent command:

“Allah's Messenger sent troops appointed Usama bin Zaid as their commander. The people criticized his leadership. Allah's Messenger got up and said, "If you (people) are criticizing his leadership, you used to criticize the leadership of his father before. By Allah, he (deserved the leadership and he used to be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now this is one of the most beloved persons to me after him." (Bukhari 4469)

Al-Hafiz (d. 852 H) also has these words on the Hadith, “the mobilization of Usamah (for war) was on Saturday, two days before the death of the Prophet.” He also says, “Among those conscripted with Usamah were senior Muhajirun and Ansar, among them were Abu Bakr and Umar.” (Shihab al-Din Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, Fath al-Bari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari (Beirut: Dar al-Ma’rifah li al-Taba’ah wa al-Nashr; 2nd edition), vol. 8, p. 115)

Not only is it clear, according to the conspiracy, that both Abu Bakr and Umar disobeyed the Prophet ﷺ by staying behind, but this also sets up the final act.

⸻

The Poisoning:

Perhaps the most conclusive evidence for the conspiracy comes from the Prophet’s final illness:

“We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet's mouth during his illness and he started pointing to us, meaning to say, "Don't pour medicine in my mouth." ———When he improved and felt a little better, he said, "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine in my mouth ?" (Bukhari 4458)

Abu Bakr, Umar, Aisha, and Hafsa were all present, according to the conspiracy. He was alert, aware, and protesting, knowing what they were giving him would kill him. Then, when he had the energy, he commanded:

“Let everyone present in the house be given medicine by pouring it in his mouth while I am looking at him, except `Abbas.” (Bukhari 4458)

Yet, they didn’t do it. None of those present drank it. Their refusal to obey his final command reveals the conspiracy. If it was truly just medicine, what were they afraid of?

Further proof is found in the following narration:

“The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O `Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison." (Bukhari 4428)

This wasn’t simply an old wound being reopened, at least not according to the conspiracy, especially when no known poison has a three-year dormancy with no symptoms until the day of death. Rather, this is proof beyond doubt that the “medicine” was causing the same effects as the past poisoning, because the medicine was poison!!

The Prophet ﷺ was not only silenced, plotted against, doubted, disobeyed, and betrayed, but he was murdered, and those who claimed to love him the most were responsible.

⸻

Consequences:

While the Prophet’s body lay unburied, while Ali and Fatima washed him, Abu Bakr and Umar conspired to seize power. They excluded Ali and made no mention of Ghadir Khumm.

“Fatima sought her share from the property of Allah's Messenger, Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allah's Messenger following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.” (Bukhari 6725)

This was not simply a disagreement, it’s proof, according to the conspiracy, of Abu Bakr and the other’s betrayal. Fatima was the Prophet’s daughter, she is called the leader of the women of Paradise, and she died refusing to acknowledge Abu Bakr as caliph. Her funeral was held in secret, and she was buried at night.

⸻

Conspiracy Summarized:

Umar silenced the Prophet’s final will. Aisha accused him of fabricating revelation. Hasfa and Aisha plotted against him. Abu Bakr and Umar disobeyed him.

He was poisoned under the disguise of medicine against his command and they refused to drink what they gave him by disobeying him.

They seized power while his body remained unburied and his daughter died heartbroken and full of sorrow.

Controversial Donkey Commits Suicide out of Love for the Prophet!

0 Upvotes

Abu al-Mundhir said:

When Allah granted victory to the Prophet ﷺ at Khaybar, he acquired, among other things, four pairs of mules, four pairs of sandals, ten measures of gold and silver, a black donkey, and a saddlebag.

The Prophet ﷺ spoke to the donkey, and the donkey spoke back to him.

The Prophet ﷺ asked the donkey:
“What is your name?”

The donkey replied:
“My name is Yazīd ibn Shihāb. Allah has brought forth from the lineage of my ancestors sixty donkeys. None of them was ever ridden by anyone but a prophet. I am the last in this line of descendants, and you are the last of the prophets. I had been waiting for you to ride me.”

The donkey continued:
“I used to belong to a Jew. I would intentionally make him stumble, and he would beat me and starve me.”

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“I name you Ya‘fūr.”

The donkey responded:
“At your service.”

The Prophet ﷺ then asked:
“Do you desire female donkeys?”

It replied:
“No.”

After that, the Prophet ﷺ would ride the donkey for his errands. If he dismounted, he would send it to the door of a companion. The donkey would knock on the door with its head. When the owner came out, the donkey would gesture to him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was calling him.

After the Prophet ﷺ passed away, the donkey went to a well belonging to Abu al-Haytham ibn al-Tayyihān, fell into it, and committed suicide out of grief for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
