From the ancient times they have questioned, because they want to see the matter and they have rejected, because they know not of anything or something beyond. Ulterior dimensions are sealed to their sight. It would be accepted if he shouts that he has seen; but, no, the cry of a blind has always been that he has DISCOVERED. Of course, such type of analysis we see runs in all religions, true or otherwise.
Such analysis is only workable in religions, which are not true because there is no other way. The viewpoint of the Sunni is vague. According to them there was no text nor was there a religions basis. The appointment of Abubakr to the caliphate was the consequence of the turmoil and confusion among Muslims that followed the death of the Prophet (SAW). A gathering took place at SAQIFA and to avoid a conflict or a civil disorder or any other danger it was important that Abubakr be appointed.
Abu Bakr too in his turn with the same intention appointed Omar. Omar created a six men committee to decide after his death. These events were influenced by outside causes and which were gestant with historical aspects too. But political ends supervised and exercised guidance upon them. In the light of these analysis's it is acceptable that the governments that came into being after the Prophet (SAW) were absolutely due to the causes and effects which were never religious.
But with regards to the Shia belief, these interpretations are not true nor are they acceptable because they believed in Imamate as they believed in the prophet hood. Their belief was in that which was a reality and their religion was a fact. They did not go beyond that. F. To support the Leadership of AHLUL BAIT (Members of the Prophet's house) A religious Fundamental In this chapter the writer has composed comments which history and traditions reject.
Documentary evidences and historical events repudiate his conclusions. For instance, says he: "The support to the leadership of Alavees was at first not on the basis of any planning..." The fact is opposite. The religious basis pushed the people to the support of the Alavees. Those who opposed the events took place at SAQIFA and consequently rejected the authority of Abu Bakr, did so on a religion ground. Else, there was no other motive.
The Prophet's (SAW) words, his recommendations in this respect stood obligatory to them for their obedience. People embraced the Shia faith only on a religion basis. The motive was religion.
