In the end it is the statement of the writer, that just as the Imamate of the twelve Shiite Imams is proved from the words of Allah and the Prophet (S), in the same way, their Imamate is also proved from Taurat, Zaboor and Injeel, according to resemblances the Prophet and his family bear to Moosa (a.s.) and his family. Although Ahlul Sunnat extol the merits of the three Caliphs and gloss over Muawiyah’s errors; and their quarrels for Caliphates etc.

are spread everywhere; these people forge traditions and misconstrue the meaning of the tradition of Ghadeer. Bani Umayyah Caliphs have been instrumental in forging traditions in favor of the three Caliphs and Ahlul Sunnat consider them equal to Quran. Certainly the Jews disbelieved in Isa (a.s.) and Christians denied the prophecy about the Holy Prophet (S). In the same way, Ahlul Sunnat denied the Caliphate of Imam Ali (a.s.).

Thousands of Prophets were sent to proclaim the Caliphate of His Eminence, Ali (a.s.). But worldly persons did not accept Ali as the Caliph and Imam after the passing away of the Messenger of Allah (S) and hoisted an Imam of their own choice and decided that it was not necessary for Allah to appoint an Imam and a Caliph. It seems that if Sunnis get a chance, they would even appoint a Prophet of their choice, and if Allah appoints an apostle, they would order him to go back quietly.

They are actually helpless to call their three Caliphs as apostles, because there are so many forged traditions in their merits that to consider them less than apostles is against their traditions. Due to the blind faith that Ahlul Sunnat have towards the three Caliphs it would not be out of place to refer to them as the nation of Caliphs. [^1]: A Prophet who brings a new Shariat. Previous…
