punish him,” and someone walking by tripped over something
and broke the glass. Now the first person should not punish him.
So is the case with those who fought hadrat Alî. Hadrat Âisha’s
opposing hadrat Alî is like hadrat Mûsâ’s (Moses) rebuking
hadrat Hârûn (Aaron). Qur’ân al-kerîm declares that hadrat
Âisha is Believers’ mother. A mother cannot be blamed for
chastising her son even if it is a mistake. The Sahâbîs who fought
hadrat Alî are praised through âyats and hadîths. There is the
hope of shafâ’at (intercession) and salvation for each and every
one of the As-hâb-i-kirâm, and even for all Believers. If a person
feels enmity towards hadrat Alî, curses and swears at him, he
becomes a disbeliever. However, none of the Sahâbîs (who fought
him) is reported to have done so. A person who calls hadrat Alî a
disbeliever or asserts that he will not enter Paradise or alleges that
he cannot be a Khalîfa on account of his shortcomings in
knowledge, justice, wara’ and taqwâ, becomes a disbeliever
himself. Khârijîs and Yezîdîs (Yazîdîs) hold such a belief about
him, yet this belief of theirs originate from their erroneous
interpretation of dubious evidences. If a person fights him out of
sensuous desires such as property and position or as a result of
erroneous ijtihâd, he will not become a disbeliever. In the former
case, the person concerned will become a sinner, and in the
second case he will become a bid’at holder. It is stated in a hadîthi-sherîf,
“Cursing a Believer is like slaying him.” To curse
someone means to wish that he be far from Allah’s compassion.
Feeling of hatred felt against a person will continue after his
death, too. It is stated in a hadîth-i-sherîf, “Do not swear at the
dead.”
20- As it is seen, there is a Jewish finger in the wars of Camel
and Siffîn. They are disasters manipulated by Zionism. They are
consequences of atrocious plans conceived to set brothers against
one another and to demolish Islam from within by arousing a civil
war. As it was Jews who arranged hadrat ‘Uthmân’s ‘radiy-Allâhu
ta’âlâ anh’ martyrdom, so it was these same people again who
organized and dispatched the army which dethroned Sultân Abdul-hamîd
Khân II ‘rahmatullâhi aleyh’.
Muslims still do not wake up. They cannot see these facts.
Books written by the enemies of Islam, who martyred hadrat
’Uthmân, (and) who caused the As-hâb-i-kirâm to destroy one
another, and who caused the freemasons called the Union Party to
become a nuisance to Muslims and thus dragged thousands of
religious men to gallows or into dungeons, are selling in great
