Was Muawiya&#8217;s decision to appoint  Yazid as his successor, legitimate especially in the presence of  Hussayn?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p><em>Khilafah<\/em>  of Abu Bakr Siddique (rta) was acknowledged by the entire community of  the Companions of the Prophet (sws). The Companions as a community,  could not have joined hands on deviating from the command of the Prophet  (sws). The Holy Qur&#8217;an affirms their truthfulness and puts on them the  huge responsibility of communicating the religion of God to the world.  Since their veracity is confirmed by the Book of God we cannot claim  they disregarded the command of the Prophet (sws) regarding <em>imamat<\/em>  of Ali (rta). Who would have known more than them that the Prophet  (sws) intended them to take Ali (rta) as a caliph if that was the case?  The whole dispute of khilafat, it needs to be appreciated, originates in  the fact the Prophet (sws) did not appoint anybody.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>I  am sorry I cannot comment on the decision of the Caliph Mu&#8217;awiyah. This  is because I do not and cannot know the ground realities in that time.  We believe that Islam does not bestow any special privilege on religious  basis to the members of the family of the Prophet (sws). <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-10<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5862\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several <em>ahadith<\/em> approve Ali&#8217;s (rta) <em>khilafat<\/em>.
