Sunni Muslims would make anyone their Khalîfa sinful and evil as
the person might be, and she cursed the thousands of Sunni
Muslims who were present. When she said before all those people
that hadrat Alî and six other Sahâba had been opposed to hadrat
Abû Bekr’s caliphate, that this disagreement had led to wars, that
the number of Alî’s supporters had reached twenty-two, that all
the As-hâb, with the exception of these twenty-two people, and
those who loved them and all the mujtahids and scholars who
followed them and all the Sunni Muslims were disbelievers and
even worse than disbelievers, and that it would be the most
valuable worship to curse them, the Khalîfa, Hârûn-ur-Reshîd,
became so jubilant and admired her so much that from time to
time he scattered golds on her.” These fake events are related in a
sordid, derisive, extravagant language in the book.
The hundredth âyat of Tawba sûra purports, “Allâhu ta’âlâ
loves them. And they love Him.” Here, He (Allâhu ta’âlâ)
declares that He likes and loves all the As-hâb-i-kirâm, all the
Muhâjirs and Ansârs alike. The sixth âyat of Ahzâb sûra purports,
“His wives are Muslims’ mothers.” Here, He (Allâhu ta’âlâ)
praises and lauds Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi wa sallam’
blessed wives ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ alaihima ajma’în’. It is not
something a person with adequate wisdom would do, to resist
these âyat-i-kerîmas, to call these religious superiors disbelievers,
and to say that the hadîths reported by these people are not
dependable. Statements such as these could be made only by
insidious enemies or Jews striving to denigrate and demolish the
Islamic religion.
The questions, which were actually copied from the Mu’tazila
group and which are alleged to have been asked in order to prove
that Qur’ân al-kerîm is a creature and that men’s actions are not
creatures, have been answered in a most pulchritudinous and
indubitable way by every one of the disciples educated by
mujtahids, thousands of valuable books have been written to this
end, and most of them have been translated into various
languages, winning the admiration of the world’s scientists.
Therefore, only idiots can be deceived by alleging in a falsely
adorned, circumlocutory language that the mujtahids could not
answer the questions asked by the jâriya. A person with common
sense will see at once that these writings are lies and vilifications
which the enemies of Islam and Jews use as weapons in their
behind-the-scenes attacks in order to demolish Islam.
