Points of Research
The statements made by this individual and are cited in this part can be summarized in the following points:
1. We have to discuss our own issues before others do so then discard them.
2. How realistic his claim is that he debated all scholars, but they could not convince him.
3. Does denying that al-Zahra’ (A.S.) was beaten means proving the innocence of the oppressors?
4. Beating al-Zahra’ (A.S.) is not related to the doctrine; so, why should we pay it so much attention?
5. The primary reference in this very serious matter is the book by SALIM ibn Qais who is not a reliable authority neither in this subject nor in any other.
It is as if this person imagined that if he cast doubts about SALIM’s book and distanced it from the field of scholarly research, he will have relieved himself of the burden of the most important part of the texts which embarrass him because of what they contain of accusations against certain people of having committed crimes which can neither be defended nor even articulated. We will see how the doubts cast about this great book, which were started by al-Ghada’iri, who is very well known for his countless discrediting and doubt casting, are not reliable at all. Add to this the various explanations required by the diversity of the topic and necessitated by the importance of providing sufficient explanations, by coming forth with what is clear and satisfactory. So, let me undertake these tasks. I seek help and support from Allah, and from Him comes all success and right guidance. |
