And while swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr being a slip Allah...

And while swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr being a slip Allah protected Muslims against its evil, as described by Umar ibn al-Khattab, with a large number of opposing and renouncing it, and when allegiance to Ali ibn Abi Talib being sworn publicly with the presence of some violating the allegiance, leading to eruption of the Battles of al-Jamal, Siffin and al-Nahrawan, in which innocent people were killed, how would wise men be pleased then, with that rule which was put to test and exorbitantly failed from the beginning, being mischief for the Muslims.

This fact is more ascertained when knowing that those who believe in the principle of shura (consensus), elect the caliph having no authorization after that to substitute or depose him.

The Muslims tried their best to depose Uthman, but he disdained, saying: “I never take off a garment Allah has clothed me with.” That which increases even our aversion to this theory, being what is seen nowadays in the civilized democracy-claiming Western countries, in regard to electing the Head of State, with various parties struggling, bargaining and competing for attaining to power at any cost, spending for this purpose billions of money allocated for publicity in all its means.

Further huge potentials and resources are being squandered at the cost of the oppressed among the people who badly need them. As soon as any of them assumes the headship, sympathy overwhelms him, making him designate his supporters, party members, friends and relatives in the posts of ministers, high-ranking responsibilities, and significant positions in administration, leaving the others busy in the activities of the opposition throughout his reign period, upon which it is agreed too.

In this way, they would create problems and obstacles for him, doing their utmost to disgrace and topple him, entailing thus a heavy loss for the downtrodden people.

Consequently, many humane values were devaluated and numerous Satanic depravities were elevated with the titles of freedom and democracy, and under bombastic slogans, in a way that sodomy was practised as a lawful and legitimate act, and adultery turned to be progress and advancement as a substitute for marriage, about which you can say what you like.

How great is the Shias’ belief in holding that successorship (Khilafah) being one of the principles of religion, and what sublime is their belief that this post be according to the Will and choice of Allah, the Exalted?
