Some Muslims create an impression that Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) was pleased with the companions particularly the Shaikhain and accepted their caliphate without any reservations and he was never under any duress or compulsion. As proof they advance some tame arguments like Ali (a.s.) naming his [...]

Some so-called Muslims, true to their disposition, are quick to refute just about every virtue of the Ahle Bait (a.s.), even the most evident and widely reported ones. When they cannot conclusively reject a particular virtue they resort to their strategy of, “If you cannot convince, confuse.” One such virtue [...]

Some Muslims claim that Allah is not present everywhere. They maintain that Allah has a body and is seated permanently on Arsh and cannot possibly be at two places at the same time. They state that this world is anyway too small, like an ant compared to Allah, and cannot [...]

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.
