Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Conception of the Sahaba's Ultimate Decency and the Political Authority in Islam Chapter 6 — the Right Course To Recognizing the Decent Sahaba Topical Introductory A majority of historians mentioned the following: Just before the beginning of battle of Badr, the first armed encounter between polytheism and monotheism, Abu­Jahal raised his hands towards the heavens and pray to God: “O God!

The further from Thee and the most involved in cutting relations; Thou involve him in calamities of this battle..” At the same time, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) raised his hands towards the heavens and supplicated: “O God! Thou shall never be worshipped on this earth if my small party is defeated today. O God! Fulfill Thy promise..” Inspecting the 2 supplications It is recognizable that both raised their hands towards the heavens..

Both implored “O God.” Both carried slogan of truth. Abu­Jahal claimed of being the nearest to God and the keeper of relations. Mohammed, in the other side, affirmed that his followers were the real protectors of the truth and the ideal connection between the Creator and His creatures. He declared that there had been promises and covenants between his Creator and him. A wonderment Considering both were claiming of being the truth, what for, then, were they about to fight each other?

Considering both were together on the same course of Allah, which is only a united way, what for, then, were they so discrepant that they faced each other with arms? Prospects In accordance with criteria of mere topical debate, we have to opt for one of these three prospects or views: The two parties were right. This prospect, however, is inapplicable since there is only one undoubtable course which is the right path of Allah.

According to sameness of both parties' bases, they should have followed each other. One of the two was the right. This prospect is expedient. The two parties are wrong. For a prophet fortified by arguments and heavenly miracles, this prospect is unacceptable. Explication For recognizing the mere reality, it is essential to achieve the following: Identifying the right. Identifying the wrong. Identifying the right party by means of the right itself.

Identifying the wrong party by same means and criteria of the right. The solving method The existence of the right and its jurisprudential formulation.
