Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hadith Al-Thaqalayn, the Deposed Will of the Last Prophet to Humanity Hadith Al-Thaqalayn: Clarifying The Confusions Of Ibn Taymiyyah (Part 2) ============================================================================ Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah (d.

728 H) says: وفي لفظ لا يزال الإسلام عزيزا إلى أثنى عشر خليفة كلهم من قريش وهكذا كان فكان الخلفاء أبو بكر وعمر وعثمان وعلي ثم تولى من اجتمع الناس عليه وصار له عز ومنعة معاوية وابنه يزيد ثم عبد الملك وأولاده الأربعة وبينهم عمر بن عبد العزيز And in a text “Islam will never cease to be strong till twelve khalifahs, all of them from Quraysh”, and this was exactly how it was, for the khalifahs were Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman, ‘Ali and then those upon whom the people agreed, who were strong and invincible, ruled: Mu’awiyah, his son Yazid, ‘Abd al-Malik, and his four children, and ‘Umar b.

‘Abd al-‘Aziz was one of them.[^1] Here, our Shaykh tells us that: • Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman, Mu’awiyah, Yazid, ‘Abd al-Malik and others were Imams from the offspring of Ibrahim. • They all held the Covenant of Allah, which was Imamah, and guided humanity with His Command. • None of them was a wrongdoer, to himself or to others. • None of them was a wrongdoer who violated any of the laws of Allah, before and during his Imamah.

Of course, Abu Bakr and the other Sunni khalifahs were: • not from the offspring of Muhammad or his ; • not appointed by Allah; • not holders of the Covenant or Command of Allah; • wrongdoers who wronged themselves and others by disobeying Allah and committing sins on several occasions; • not kings who ruled by kingdom, except for Mu’awiyah and the subsequent Umayyads (and Abbasids); and • not holders of kingdom over the Ummah, except for Mu’awiyah and the subsequent Umayyads (and Abbasids).
