The most destructive adversity that inflicted Islam was taking the (a.s.) away from the political theatre of Islam while everybody, especially those who contributed directly in the scenario of setting them aside from their positions, knew for certain the divine decision of choosing them (i.e. the (a.s.) for the leadership of the Islamic nation.

Historians have recorded unanimously that after the demise of (s.a.w.a.), some individuals led a rebellion against his general decision of succession in the leadershipof the Islamicnation, claiming that it is unacceptable for the Hashemites[^32] to have both prophesy and leadership.[^33] This adversity resulted in handing the leadership and destiny of the Islamic nation over to unsuitable individuals who were the main reason beyond the collapse of Muslims.

Thus, the Islamic nation, as a whole, was deprived of the pure source of the knowledge of the (a.s.) which was the natural extension of the divine knowledge of the prophets (a.s.).

Imam Ali (a.s.), in consequence, lived in complete confinement away from the political and practical life of the Islamic nation all during the reigns of the three caliphs, and when he was elected, freely for the first time, for the leadership of the Islamic nation, the capitalists, the greedy, the deviants, and the ignorant revolted against his just government and engaged him against many things.

By such engagement, the Islamic world was afflicted with a big loss when Imam Ali (a.s.) did not have enough time to extend ideal justice and equality all over the Islamic state. As a matter of fact, the Immaculate Imams of the (a.s.) faced the same fate of their grandfather Imam Ali (a.s.) when the Umayyad and Abbasid rulers prevented them from extending their idealities and knowledge among people and caused humanity to lose such sources of wisdom.
