Talk:Umar/Archive 1

message: Why Umer nominated Abu Baker as Khalifa despite Profit Muhammed announced Ali (A.S) as Mawla to all by the order of Allah after the last Sermon at Ghadeer Khum?
WAS REALLY UMAR ACCEPT ISLAM FROM HIS HEART?
"Umar was a close companion of Muhammad and participated prominently in all of the Muslim battles against the Quraish"
gg
Prominently?
Who did he kill, what did he acomplish?
Except for questioning the Prophets authority, like bukhari states:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/050.sbt.html#003.050.891
(search for "Aren't you truly the Apostle of Allah?") 
"It is said that he initially refused to believe that Muhammad had died."
Yea, and threatened to kill anybody that spreaded the news. Of course, cuz he didnt want people to give aliegense to Ali.
"Abu Bakr nominated Umar as his successor prior to his death in 634. He was elected to the office thereafter."
O yeah? Who did elect Umar, execpt for Abu Bakr? One persons say isnt a election.
"Ali ibn Abi Talib, who had sought the Caliphate at Abu Bakr's death, willingly served under Umar, as chief justice and advisor"
Served? Rather, pointed out to him his silly mistakes like:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/abudawud/038.sat.html#038.4385
When did he "serve" Umar?
"Umar also awarded pensions to the surviving members of Muhammad's family."
Yeah, from the Prophets inheritance, and for that he was called a "liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest." by Ali and Ibn Abbas
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/019.smt.html#019.4349
"The Sunni/Shi'a schism, however bitter in later years, seems to have been dormant during Umar's caliphate. Ali's acceptance of the election, and submission to the authority of Umar, are considered by many historians to be the prime reasons for the stability of the period."
OMG!
Dormant? Does "liar, sinful, treacherous and dishonest." sound dormant in your eyes?
"acceptance of election" What election? An election with one candidate, Saddam style?
"submission to the authority of Umar" ?
*giggles*
He just stoped opposing him openly.
"Umar also began the process of codifying Islamic law."
Yeah, by thinking he made the sunna himself:
"By Allah, if I were to do it, it would become a sunna. "
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muwatta/002.mmt.html#002.2.21.85
Not to mention all the changed he did to the prophets sunna:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changes_to_the_Sunnah_made_by_the_Rashidun#According_to_Sunnis
Quoting Ali:
"I will not leave the tradition of the Prophet on the saying of somebody." 
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/026.sbt.html#002.026.634
"In 638, he married the Prophet's granddaughter, Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Ali and Fatima. "
No he didnt, thats a lie.
http://www.answering-ansar.org/answers/umme_kulthum/en/index.php
" A strong ruler, he was universally respected for his justice and authority."
Yeah, right...
The guy didnt even know how to make tayammum!
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html#003.0718
Wich resulted in disorder:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html#003.0716
Yeah, we all love Umar, the guy that bunred Fatimah (phuh) house and gave her a misscarrige...

:Funny you mention Fatima. Wikipedia has become so biased and anti-Shi'a in its articles that they dont even mention anything about her death on her own biography page: Fatima Zahra. As if trying to hide how she died.--Zereshk 22:03, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Persistence is the key my friend. Persistence. No matter how many times they delete what you say, keep repeating it, never back off if you are sure you are right, and stay cool and calm. That's a wining combination. Fitnah comes in many forms.--Zereshk 01:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Give me prove, i dont belive it 

message: This is an article about the caliph Umar, not Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr's election is described where it ought to be, in the Abu Bakr article. Also, the Caliphs, from the first four "rightly Guided" to the last Ottoman Sultan are what are accepted in history as the actual holders of that office, without prejudice to Shi'a doctrines. Please do not confuse the Caliphate with the Shi'a Imams.
I did some other rewordings and minor edits.
Also, let's not "dumb down" our text, and keep it encyclopedic as much as possible. --A. S. A. 09:10, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
: I'm tired and a little upset. You seem quite attached to your prose, which you have restored as much as possible, even when it meanders, crawls through loooong sentences, and crams disparate matter into one paragraph. You have also removed any mention of the Sunni/Shi'a dispute, even though it is RELEVANT in the context of all the caliphs preceding Ali. You can't say that "we've covered that in Abu Bakr", because someone coming to look up Umar will not have read Abu Bakr. 
: I'd suggest reading Strunk and White. Verbosity is not to be confused with brilliance. Zora 10:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Literate is a good replacement, and it was probably a mistake to post  when I was tired. Nonetheless, your prose is often open to criticism -- as is mine. We obviously will have to fight this through sentence by sentence. Zora 20:20, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: A thought

message: ----
For those who are against The first three Caliphas (Shi'a) check this site: 
http://www.albrhan.com/
Plus, Why talking about History when you muslims now are the weakest nation in the world. Moreover, Instead of looking at Omar in negative way, you should appreciate how he spreaded Islam to Persia (where most shia are now),Africa,Asia and so on. He expanded the message of Allah to unknown lands. Shi'a just makes things worse they argue about History of the three calipah plus Ali, but they did nothing in the islamic history except wars and conflicts. they are the ones who weakened the islamic nation many times throughout History.
Thanks for the link, but i dont know Arabic.
Muslims are not the weakest nation in the world. Acording to this website, its the USA.
Umar didnt spread Islam nowhere, all he did was further his own agendas of enlarging the nation he stole. Luckly, that didnt stop true belivers from spreading Islam, albeit with a handicap they wouldnt have if Ali would have ruled from the begining.
Anyway, acording to the Prophet(pbuh,) Persians would have found Islam even if it was i Pleiades, so who cares about what Umar did thought he did.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/060.sbt.html#006.060.420
Due to Umars numerous inovations the spreading of Islam did not go so smoth and painless as it would have, just look att his favorite line, "let me chop his head of".
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/023.sbt.html#002.023.437
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/052.sbt.html#004.052.251
And here you go for Umars sense of timing, justice and mercy:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/052.sbt.html#004.052.150
As if Umar was greater than Islam, as if Islam would have been doomed and isolated wear it not for Umar. Well, do you remember this line of Umar "wear it not for Ali, Umar would have perished"?
Dont get me started on all the inovations Umar did to the Prophets sunnah, or his incompetense, the guy didnt even know that it is allowed to make tayyamum, even though it has, not one, but TWO Quranic verses about it, and EVEN tough Ammar ibn Yasir reminded him! Even then he deemed it as not allowed! Now, how in the world do you regard such an ignorant man as wise?
Are You kiddng me, Shias are responsible for all the wars and conflits? Are you totaly blinded by Salafi propaganda? It would'nt surprise me if you belived the Ibn Saaba myth to. Lets just ask ourself who started this conflicts, and if they where Shia:
1)Who Made Fatimah Angry?
2)Who Made here wish to get burried in secred?
3)Who killed people just because they didnt want to pay Taxes to Abu Bakr?
4)Who defended Khalid ibn Walid when he "married" (sic) the widow of the muslim he just killed the same day?
5) Who wanted to kill people that did not deserve it, just out of ignorance?
6) Who made fatwas out of ignorance that made people disunite?
7) Who started to kill people just becuse he didnt like the Prophets sunnah?
8) Who send Abu Dhar, the great Sahaba, to exile, and broght back Marwan Ibn Hakam, the guy that was sent to exile buy the Prophet?
9) Who was so gready and unfair that people surounded his house in disgust and killed him?
10) Who could not bear that Ali was selected Caliph and (a) went out to war against him, (b) AGAINST the Prophets explicit prophibiation and (c) the Koran Surah 33:33, (d) and justifiyed it through wanting to avenge a guy she wasnt even related to (e) wich caused the first civil war and killed over 10 000 people, (f) even though Ali tried to negotiate peace?
11) Who neglected point 10, but sudenly when he was dissmissed from his work he remembered that he to must avenge Uthamn, wich resulted in war, even though Ali tried to negotiate peace??
12) Who was about to go to war agains Ali first son?
13) Who butchered Ali second son and allmost all his male relatives and friends?
14) Who atacked medina and made 1000 girls pregnent?
15) Who atacked the Kaba with burning stones? 
16 - 23) Who killed the forth to the elventh Imam and killed and persecuted all their relatives and companions?
Here are the answeres:
1) Abu Bakr
2) Abu Bakr
3) Abu Bakr
4) Abu Bakr
5) Umar
6) Umar
7) Umar 2
8) Uthman
9) Uthman
10) Aisha
11) Muaviya
12) Muaviya
13) Yazid ibn Muaviya
14) Yazid ibn Muaviya
15) Yazid ibn Muaviya
16 - 23) Sunni Kalifs
Now, how manny of this people are Shias? Makes me angry to hear uneducated non-sense like that.
Yea, its we that weakened the Islamic nations, isnt it? Isnt Iran the nail in USAs eye that they cant touch? Wasnt Hizzbolah the guys that gave Israel a bleeding nose?
Here are the sell-outs!
Do they look Shia to you?
Dont give me "its was history, dont care about it now" polemic, history is what drive today, its only becus Imam Hussains sacrifice that Yazid didnt totaly demolished the Kaba and suceeded in anihlating Islam. Not becus of Umar, remember that. It was Becus of Umar that Uthman came in power, and becuas of Uthman that Muavya and Marwan got a grip of power. Her you, read a bit About Marwan, the guy the Prophet exiled and Uthman brought back:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/015.sbt.html#002.015.076
If it wearent for Umar, Ali would have lead the Islamc nation, and Hussain wouldnt have to sacrifice himself. 
If you think that is old news, not relevant today, why do you think that Saddam forbade to comemorate Karbala? If its not important, why do you think that Saudi Salafi Ibn wahab worshipers suicide killed over 100 persons att karbala evry year since Saddam went away? 
Because it matters, It matters what Umar did, it matters that he was a selfish, ignorant Yazid enabler!
