Addressing Sunnis please :
Is caliphate a pilar of sunni doctrine ?
If not, why that urge to elect a leader after death of Prophet (sawas)
If so, what of today's Islam without a khilafa?
abu bakr "as-siddiq"
- elected via a secret shura in saqifah in 632 CE
- 99% of the ummah did not participate or even have knowledge of the "election"
- legitimate method of establishing the khilafa according to sunnis
abu bakr al-baghadi
- elected via a secret shura in syria in 2014 CE
- 99% of the ummah did not participate or even have knowledge of the "election"
- illegitimate method of establishing the khilafa according to sunnis
why the discrepancy?
Salam We all agree that who ever does not know the Imam of his time dies a death of Jahiliya (ignorance). What do our Sunni brothers think about Fatima (as)? She didn't accept Abo Bakr as her Imam, what is her position?
