In the part Two Apples of the Eye of Muslims superiority of hadrat Abû Bakr and hadrat Omar is explained; in the part The First Fitna in Islam events between Ashâb-ı-kirâm are explained beautifully from the pen of hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni Ahmad Fârûkî Sarhandi who explains that to love all of Ashâb-ı-kirâm is a fundamental condition of being Ahl-i-sunnat.

is Alî, the highest of those who fear Allâhu ta’âlâ. <strong>The</strong> third one is<br />
Fâtima-t-uz-zahrâ, the highest of women. And the fourth corner<br />
will be occupied by Hasan and Husayn, the highest of pure<br />
people.”<br />
