 |
- After the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) his true Caliph and related Imaam is Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu).
- After him in leadership is Hazrat Umar Farooque (radi Allahu anhu).
- Hazrat Usman Ghani (radi Allahu anhu) followed him.
- After him is Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) followed by Hazrat Imaam Hasan (radi Allahu anhu).
- These leaders Khilafat is known as "Raashida" or "pious" because these great Sahabis (Companions) gave true representation of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
- The true pious Khilafat as per the traditions of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) lasted thirty years, meaning it terminated after six months of the true Khilafat performed by Hazrat Imaam Hasan (radi Allahu anhu).
- Thereafter, the leader of Muslims, Umar bin Abdul Aziz (radi Allahu anhu) performed the pious Khilafat, and Hazrat Imaam Mehdi will perform true Khilafat in the final era.
- Hazrat Amir Mua'awiya (radi Allahu anhu) was the first king in Islam.
- After the Prophets, and out of all of Allah's creations including Jinn, humans and Angels, the most virtuous are Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique, then Hazrat Farouk-e-Azam, then Hazrat Uthman Gani, then Hazrat Maula Ali (radi Allahu anhum).
- Whoever believes that Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) is more virtuous than Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) or Hazrat Umat Farouk (radi Allahu anhu), such a person is a misguided person and an evil accursed person.
