Imamate And Guardianship Of Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Imamate and guardianship of Ali ibn Abi Talib or Imamate and Wilayah of Ali ibn Abi Talib refers to the spiritual position of Ali (''1st Shia Imam'' and ''4th Caliph of Islam'') and his role in teaching the religion truth and establishing Islamic Sharia after Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam. The Caliphate of Ali ibn Abi Talib from 35 to 40 AH (656-661 AD) in the official history is not the subject of this article. Regarding the succession of Ali, historians and scholars of Islamic history have generally either accepted the view of the Sunnis or rejected the truth of the matter as undiscoverable. One of the historians who has deviated from this common tradition is Wilferd Madelung. In the Encyclopaedia of Islam, ''Wilferd Madelung'' considers the main Shiite claims to be ''Ali'' 's own view because he believes that ''Ali'' considered himself the most worthy person for the caliphate compared to other companions, and blamed the entire Muslim community for turning away ...
