Ali said to him:
"Didn't you know all this? What you are
suggesting is that just as all of you abandoned the
Messenger of God as soon as he died, I too should
have abandoned him, and I too should have
entered the Saqifa to contest the khailafat with
you. This I could not do. Doing so would have
been most unworthy of me. I could not forsake the
Messenger of God in his death as I did not forsake
him in his life."
After these remarks, Ali (a.s) left the court of Abu
Bakr which was held in the Mosque of the Prophet
(s.a.w).
Brothers and sisters,
This just goes to show that the Leader of the
Muslims is Chosen by Allah (sw)t and not the
People. Ali (a.s) Proved this.
So, why have elections and choosing Scholars
become the fashion, when the Caliphate of Ali (a.s)
was stolen by people who wanted to "Choose"?
Why have people forgotten history?

"There is, in their stories, instruction for men
endued with understanding. It is not a tale
invented, but a confirmation of what went before
it,- a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide
and a mercy to any such as believe" Qur'an (12:111)
still they disregard and go against the Imam (a.s) of
their time.
We must look towards history and see what the
people who walked the Earth before did and take
their stories as lessons. Otherwise mistakes will be
repeated. And in fact, they are being repeated.
Imam Ahmad Al-Hassan (a.s), the Yamani (a.s) said,
Now, Ahmed al-Hassan (a.s), the Messenger from
the Mahdi (a.s) has arrived and people ran behind
their scholars who sit on the Pulpit and speak
against the Messenger.
What is tragic is that the ones who pray for the
Emergence of Mahdi (a.s), the ones who call
themselves Shia of Ali (a.s) are doing exactly what
Ali (a.s) was against.
The Caliphate of Ali (a.s) was stolen because people
believed in the Supremacy of People and
disregarded the Commands of their Prophet (s.a.w).
Now, the prayers of the ones who pray for the
Emergence of Mahdi (a.s) have been answered, but
La Howla wala Quowata Illah Billahil Aliyyul
Azeem.
“Blinded is the eye that does not see the Truth or
neglects It. What is this trap they have made you
fall into, O People? Is it logical that you are driven
each time towards killing a prophet or successor or
a righteously-working scholar and walking by the
side of the deviant Clerics of Misguidance, then if
they eliminate him you beat your chests and shed
the tears of your eyes and show remorse for your
abominable hideous act? Then you repeat the
same thing again time after time, and you follow
the deviant Clerics of Misguidance and the same
snake stings you from the same hole every time.”
“Awaken O Sleepers. Awaken O Dead.”
Please do not forget the Imams (a.s), Ansar Allah
and me in your Prayers and Dua.
