In Search of Truth

Part 2

Immediately after the death of Muhammad (PBUH), Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA), the father-in-law of Muhammad, took power undemocratically. The Quraysh leaders who fled from Mecca in the lust for power forgot about the Ansari in Medina. They did not listen to any demands and protests of the people of Medina. The Muslim leader of Madinah Hazrat_Saad (RA) made it clear that the Caliph will be chosen from among the Ansaris of Madinah. The people of Medina eventually agreed to accept two caliphs, one from Mecca and one from Medina. Their demand was also rejected. The fire of violence flared up inside and outside Madinah.

Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fatima (RA) the youngest daughter of Muhammad could not accept Abu Bakr (RA) as Caliph from the beginning. Muhammad's (PBUH) daughter Fatima (PBUH) and her uncle Abbas (PBUH) claimed some property held by Muhammad (PBUH) in Madinah and Khaybar, and they quarreled with Abu Bakr over that. Finally, after about six months, considering various social aspects, Ali (ra) accepted Abu Bakr's (ra) caliphate, and the matter was suppressed.

During the reign of Abu Bakr, the forced converts of the time of Muhammad (pbuh) declared rebellion. Non-Muslim governments refused to pay the Jizia Tax unjustly imposed on them. People sought release from a life of ten years of conflict and unrest created by Muhammad. Many new Muslims reverted to their previous religion. The powerful Banu-Bakr tribe of Bahrain (who were forced to convert to Islam during the time of Muhammad (pbuh) to save their lives) openly renounced Islam. The people of Amman also left Islam. Abu Bakr (RA) ran a dictatorial steamroller on the people. He appointed fericious Sahabi Khalid bin Alid (RA) as the commander in chief.

Note that in the battle of Muta, a slave named Zayd was killed; To avenge that, Muhammad (pbuh) prepared to invade Syria a few weeks before his (Muhammad's) death. To complete the unfinished work of Muhammad (pbuh), Abu Bakr (pbuh) first attacked Syria. Khusrau Parvez of Iran, who had once ordered the imprisonment of Muhammad (pbuh), Abu Bakr (pbuh) prepared to invade Iran to punish him as well.

On the orders of Abu Bakr (RA), Khalid bin Alid (RA) recklessly launched brutal attacks on one tribe after another of the Arab tribes. At the same time, the militant commanders of Abu Bakr (R.A.) spread in all directions.

In just two years of autocracy, Abu Bakr turned the whole of Arabia into a battlefield. Before his death, he appointed another autocratic ruler of his own choice. Omar Ibn Khattab (RA).

Omar (RA) completely destroyed the two countries Iraq and Iran while sitting in Masnad. Omar more dangerous than Khalid bin Ali, handed over the military power to terrorists like Ubayd, Talha, Zobair, Abdur Rahman, Saad bin Abi Waqqas and Mutana. No one will ever know the exact count of how many hundreds of lives, how many people and animals died under the sword of Omar, the second caliph of Islam in Iraq and Iran. Before his death, Umar (RA) left the responsibility of choosing the caliph to Abdur Rahman bin Awf and his (Umar's) son Abdullah in order to maintain the continuity of his own and Abu Bakr's autocratic dictatorship. The two of them had a secret meeting in a dark room and brought the name of seventy year old Usman (RA), the husband of Muhammad's two daughters. Hazrat Ali (RA) exclaimed 'No-I don't agree, this is a farce, a lie in the name of religion, an injustice, this is fraud!'

On November 7, 644 AD, Usman (RA) assumed the responsibility of the Caliphate as the third Caliph of Islam. The Umayyas of Makkah were not happy after Usman's caliphate, the Hashimis felt embarrassed. After three successive caliphs came to power, the hapless Medinans could not understand the plight of the refugees from Mecca. They realized that the Quraysh had taken over Madinah, and that the people of Madinah had no place in the state power. Even after so long, the so-called 'brotherhood' Islam of Muhammad (pbuh) could not eliminate the differences between the Muslims of Makkah-Madinah and the Umayya-Hashimis.

Usman (RA) did something strange immediately after gaining power, according to Prophet’s companions that was contrary to constitution of Qur'an written by Muhammad (pbuh).

Hazrat Obaidullah, the son of Hazrat Umar (RA), the second caliph, killed three innocent people in one day. The incident was as follows: To Hazrat Omar, a man named Firoz Abu Lulu, appealed to reduce the amount of taxes imposed on him. Firoz of Persia was captured by the Muslims in a war and sold as a slave. In order to be freed from slavery, Firoz converted to Islam and later converted to Christianity. Hazrat Omar refused Feroze's request. Firoz living in Kufa earned his livelihood by working as a carpenter. He came to Medina. One day he found Omar in a deserted mosque and stabbed him six times with a knife and committed suicide. Omar died three days after being stabbed. The next day Hazrat Omar's son Obaidullah first came from Persia and killed Zufaina, the slave of Hazrat Sader (RA). Obaidullah went to Firoz's house after killing Harmuzan and Zufaina. He killed his daughter after failing to find Feroze.

The trial of the murders committed by the Caliph Omar-son took place. Today the world will see the justice of Islamic law for such a brutal murder. The oppressed heirs awere looking at the face of Caliph Usman.

Fikah scholars agree that Obaidullah, the son of Caliph Hazrat Umar, would be sentenced to death; Because one of the three people killed, Harmujan, who came from Persia, was a Muslim. According to Shariah, if a Muslim was killed, the murderer was punished by death. The second was the slave of a companion. The third was a woman, who knew nothing about the murder of Caliph Omar. Hazrat Ali (RA) expressed his opinion in favor of capital punishment for the criminal Obaidullah. Prophet’s companion Hazrat Amr Ibnul (R.A.) and like him some known assassins paid by Hazrat Omar stood up during the terrorist trial and protested the verdict given by Hazrat Ali.

Caliph Usman (RA) did not follow Quran-Hadith. Hazrat Obaidullah was acquitted by showing a thumb to Sharia law and world conscience. Omar's relatives were very happy, but the people of Medina were sad. Enraged by this incident, the famous Muslim poet of Madinah, Ziyad Ibn Labid, wrote a poem satirizing Khalifa Usman, the murderer Obaidullah and Sharia law.

The Quraish of Makkah lived by herding sheep and goats and tending to the Kaaba. Today, the Quraish occupy central and local government positions in almost every area of the Arab world, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt. A shepherd priest to statesman. The Quraysh rulers in the occupied countries became accustomed to a life of luxury with countless slaves, an abundance of free wealth. Usman's (RA) central government from Madinah wrote to the governors of the conquered states to send appropriate taxes. The non-Muslim governments of some areas, far from sending taxes, rejected Islamic rule and declared independence. The Muslim government itself, the governor of Egypt, Hazrat Amr Ibnul As (RA) wrote in reply to Usman's (RA) letter: 'The udder of camel is incapable of giving more milk'. It was Sahabi Hazrat Amr Ibnul who advised Caliph Usman not to punish Hazrat Omar's murderous son Obaidullah.

A few days later, food shortages appeared in Madinah. The warehouses from wealth of robbery and loot were going to be empty. The people of Medina faced the greatest danger. They were agriculturists by profession. They were not used to the trade of robbery, so they did not participate in war. Booty (looted women and wealth) did not add to their fortunes. On the other hand, the Quraish of Makkah lived by herding sheep and goats and taking care of the Kaaba house. Today, the Quraish occupy central and local government positions in almost every area of the Arab world, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt.

Usman's (RA) central government from Madinah wrote to the governors of the conquered states to send appropriate taxes. The governor of Egypt, Hazrat Amr Ibnul As (RA) wrote in reply to the letter of Uthman (RA): 'A camel is incapable of giving more milk'. It was Sahabi Hazrat Amr Ibnul As who advised Caliph Uthman not to punish Hazrat Omar's murderous son Obaidullah.

Caliph Uthman (RA) was very angry. He ordered the demotion of Hazrat Amr Ibnul. In his place, the military governor of Port Said appointed Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarah as the governor of all of Egypt.

Incidentally, here I feel the need to narrate an earlier incident about Hazrat Abdullah bin Saad bin Abi Sarah: After the conquest of Makkah, Muhammad (pbuh) made a list of some (eight/ten) of his companions, colleagues and one-time well-wishers. Abdullah bin Saad bin Abi Sarah was one of them. They all will be killed; Because Muhammad (pbuh) suspected that they would one day prove his 'newness' and 'religion' to be false.

Abdullah bin Saad bin Abi Sarah used to write down the Quran spoken by Muhammad (PBUH). Muhammad (pbuh) would sometimes repeat the same incident and make some changes in the incident, and Abdullah bin Sa'd would catch it.

Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Al Badawi narrated in his Tafseer-Book 'Anwar Al-Tanzil wa Asrar Al Tawil' - One day Muhammad (PBUH) asked Abdullah Bin Sa'd to write the sentences from 12 to 14 of Surah Al-Mu'minun. The sentences were-

"And surely We have created man from the essence of mud." (Verse 12)

"Then we make him a sperm in a safe place." (Verse 13)

'Then We made the sperm into a blood clot, then from the blood clot We made flesh, then from flesh we made bones, then We covered the bones with flesh. Finally, I made him stand in a new form. (Verse 14)

After Muhammad (pbuh) said sentence No. 14, Abdullah bin Sa'd said in his literary language - "How benevolent is Allah, the Most Masterful Creator". Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Add this sentence too". Abdullah bin Sa'd was shocked. He said in his heart, how could the words of my mouth be the word of God!

Another time when Muhammad said at the end of a verse - 'And Allah is Mighty and Wise' ('Aziz' and 'Hakim' in Arabic) Abdullah bin Sa'd suggested to write 'And Allah is All-Knowing and Wise ('Alim' and 'Hakim'). . Muhammad did not object. Now Abdullah bin Saad was convinced that the Qur'an is not a divine word. He renounced Islam and distanced himself from Muhammad.

Abdullah was the foster brother of Hazrat Usman. He begged for the life of Abdullah bin Saad to Muhammad (PBUH). Under Muhammad's (pbuh) order, the assassin was standing near his head with a sharp sword in his hand. But Muhammad (PBUH) could not point the finger, ignoring the pleas of son-in-law Usman, the husband of his two daughters. Abdullah Bin Sa'd (RA) was saved for his life. The proof of the crime of Abdullah Bin Saad (RA), the one-time favorite and trusted Quran writer of Muhammad (PBUH) is still in the Quran.
