In the eyes of those blessed with insight, there is no misfortune like the misfortune of turning away from the Book of Allah. Always remember the enormity of this tribulation, no matter how great the calamity of al- H usain may be in your eyes. Become seekers of truth, O heedless ones! Let us now discuss the verses of the Holy Quran that provide magnificent arguments in support of the Khil a fah of Ab u Bakr, the Truthful One. I will prove it categorically, leaving no shadow of a doubt, as the path of doubt only leads to ruin. Arguments cannot be resolved except by pursuing certainties. Therefore, pay heed to my words and do not turn away from me. I pray to Allah that He bestows clear vision upon you. Allah, the Honourable and Glorious One, says in His Holy Book: َو اوُمْيِقَا َةوٰلَّصلا َو ْنِم ْمِهِلْبَق١۪ َو َّنَنِّكَمُيَل ْمُهَل ُمُهَنْيِد يِذَّلا ىٰضَتْرا ْمُهَل َو ْمُهَّنَلِّدَبُيَل ْۢنِّم ِدْعَب ْمِهِفْوَخ اًنْمَا١ؕ َدَعَو ُهّٰللا َنْيِذَّلا اْوُنَمٰا ْمُكْنِم َو اوُلِمَع ِتٰحِلّٰصلا ْمُهَّنَفِلْخَتْسَيَل يِف ِضْرَاْلا اَمَك َفَلْخَتْسا َنْيِذَّلا اَل َّنَبَسْحَت َنْيِذَّلا اْوُرَفَك َنْيِزِجْعُم يِف ِضْرَاْلا١ۚ َو ْيِنَنْوُدُبْعَي۠ اَل َنْوُكِرْشُي ْيِب أًـْيَش١ؕ َو ْنَم َرَفَك َدْعَب َكِلٰذ َكِٕىٰٓلوُاَف ُمُه َنْوُقِسٰفْلا۰۰ اوُتٰا َةوٰكَّزلا َو اوُعْيِطَا َلْوُسَّرلا ْمُكَّلَعَل َنْوُمَحْرُت۰۰ 1 ُمُهىٰوْاَم ُراَّنلا١ؕ َو َسْئِبَل ُرْيِصَمْلا۰۰ 1. Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious. And observe Prayer and give the Zakat and obey the Messenger, that you may be shown mercy. Think not that those who disbelieve can frus- trate Our plan in the earth; their abode is Hell; and it is indeed an evil resort ( S u rah an-N u r, 24:56–58). [Publisher]
