Reply: Yes it is a fact that the names of some of the sons of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) were common to the names of the previous Caliphs but it is not true that Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) named his sons after the Caliphs. Thus, this similarity of names is not an [...]

Objections of the skeptics These Muslims who propound a body for Allah are trapped by their own dogma and are forced to advance conflicting interpretations and ridiculous arguments to refute Allah’s Omnipresence. Allah is on the 7th sky, seated on the Arsh and does not descend to the earth Reply [...]

While thus far, we have discussed about martyrs and emigrants, the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) status is too high to be enumerated and he (s.a.w.a.) enjoys a rank higher than all martyrs and emigrants put together.

People of Jaahiliyyah (ignorance) used to mourn over their deceased then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) [...]

Doubt: The tenth day of Muharram is ‘Aashura’. The Jews of Madinah fasted on this day, the day on which Prophet Moses (a.s.) and his followers crossed the Red Sea miraculously. So the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) directed the Muslims to fast on the day of Aashura. Reply: The report is [...]

One of the arguments advanced by some Muslims for the superiority of Abu Bakr and Umar over Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) is that the two are buried next to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). They consider this as a virtue in their favour and a sign that they were worthy of being [...]
