Nikah of Lady Umme Kulthum[as]

In Mishkat Shareef, it is reported that when Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar asked the holy Prophet[saww] for his daughter, Lady Fatima[sa]'s hand the Prophet[saww] replied she is too young to marry.

Umme Kulthum[sa] whose mother was too young to marry these people, marries these same personalities, does this make sense?

Introduction

In this article we have sought to refute Ansar.org's claim that Umar al Faruq was the son in law of Imam 'Ali (as). Afriki's article is not a new piece of research scholarship against the Shi'a. Countless adherents of Mu'awiya have echoed these words and cited the same 'proofs', from al Muhaddith Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlavi, through to countless Ulema of Sippa-e-Sahaba - all have tried and spectacularly failed, and all will appear before Rasulullah (s) on the Day of Judgement in ignominy and abject humiliation. The Shi'a firmly reject the notion that Imam 'Ali (as) married his young innocent daughter to Umar and through the course of this article we have shall provide over one hundred replies as to why we reject such a claim.

We carefully analysed all the evidence that Afriki presented and felt that he had failed to provided comprehensive proof based on the sources of the Qur'an, Sunnah and authentic historical material. We felt that it was important to defend Shi'a aqeedah and set the record straight by highlighting our opponents' errors and the only way that this could be done would be via presenting a comprehensive rebuttal that would lay this myth to rest once and for all. Our method has been to go through all that Nasibi Afriki cited and then take apart his assertion. A process of meticulous and painful dissection of Nasibi notions. The knife is sharpened for this and it will cut very, very deep. It shall be seen to be, predictably, a romantic fairytale that never existed, but also a very grim fairytale, for once placed beneath a critical eye it exposes the degenerate mentality of the Nasibis who fabricate hadith / events that would even upset the nature of basic human morality.

The fact that Afriki sought to prove this marriage from Shi'a sources clearly indicates that he had pitched this article towards a Shi'a audience, mistakenly thinking that we would accept his ideas. He cunningly thought that he would make us buy the misguided notion of this marriage having happened as if it were a loan. He then envisaged the Shi'a community repaying the filthy interest on this loan through taking Umar to their hearts. But we were wise and read the small print of this loan. We will show you that Afriki tried to confuse people when he was trying to make them sign that dirty little loan. We spat out the mere idea of accepting this loan, and shall show you the devilish small print Afriki was hoping you wouldn't read. Afriki and his like- minded Mu'awiya lovers should know that the Shi'a are not a shameless people who will remain silent and allow his immense research to go unrecognised. Alhamdolillah the Shi'a community are alive and our pens are at the ready, and when we are forced to write a response we can also do so in the same language that these Salafi and Deobandi use against us. So let's go through the small print of the Wahabi argument.

We should stress that unlike other Answering Ansar material this is a reply in black and white language that will arm our brothers and sisters in faith who are harassed by the Nasibis. The Shi'a community, and in particular students, are being attacked by these Nasibi dogs in Universities. They have made direct appeals to us to refute this claim so as to remove any doubts that might creep in to people's minds.

Our opponents have deemed Mr Afriki's fraudulent research to be the 'perfect' article with which to humiliate the Shi'a and as such you will find this masterpiece on countless Nasibi sites. Initially the Shi'a community felt that the best approach would be to steer clear of this debate since it would only serve to incite hatred. Unfortunately our silence came to be viewed as a sign of weakness on our part, and the family of Marwan have resorted to cheapness that befits their cheap and illegitimate ancestry as followers of the usurping khalifas who stole the right of Ali (as). They resorted to cutting and pasting this Ansar article onto Shi'a chat pages and running away, in an attempt to embarrass us, rather than coming out like men and debating - because they always lose� badly�very, very badly. Little did they know that as civilised Muslims our Shi'a brothers and sisters hoped to avoid hurting them by exposing their propaganda. It was out of regard for their sensitivities that they avoided using literary 'weapons of mass destruction'. We have tried to avoid this topic in the interests of Muslim unity � but the increased cockiness of the Nasibi on this topic left us with no other choice but to enter the gladiatorial arena, clad with all the necessary ammunition to silence these lovers of Mu'awiya once and for all.

May Allah (swt) accept our intention, and bless Prophet Muhammad and his purified family.
