Question for my sunni fellows who deny the 12 imams after prophet mohamad?

Question

How can the Last prophet leave without choosing or atleast suggesting anyone(s) to succeed him, or how can God not mention this, albeit indirectly.

Why would isa (jesus) choose his12 apostles and not the prophet?!

Answer 1

lol ?!?!?!

the prophet finished his msg before he leave.

and he teach all people that time  his specially his sahaba

he is the last prophet and he finished his msg.

and even it most be a successor for him it will be his best friends

and his wives who's shias insulting and cursing them day and night !

do you think we have to follow 12 Imams instead of the prophet?

d**n if you read shias book you see all of them about their imams  their sayings and hadiths is about their Imams

and rarely mention the prophet

and their Imams started from Ali(ra) family ..!

they say their Imams is more higher status then all prophets and angels their Imams know all the knowledge the knew the unseen they knew when the gonna day bla bla bla

shia believe that the prophet didn't finish his msg and their 12 Imams(dajjals) finished it after him and it didn't finish yet until their 12th dajjal will come ...

many to say

this is NOT Islam

we MUSLIMS NOT Shias

We Muslims Have Only one God(Allah)SWT and One prophet(Muhammad)saw.

that's why we follow Quran + Sunnah of the prophet .

so keep your beliefs for your religion Shiaism

Shiasim is not Islam

Islam is NOT Shiaism

Answer 2

amrukom shuraa baynakum.

that's how , and abu bakr was the only imam the prophet peace upon him prayed behind, Jesus picked 12 living ones at that time , no human knows whet is hidden for the future but what God whats him to know and the prophet Muhammad peace upon him never picked any nonsense 12 imams by name .

Muslims voted for abu bakr because he was the best to lead the umma and the best to fight the liar Musaylama , and Ali had no problem with that , s**+'as just like to make up their own stories and lies just like Christians and Jews do , shia'as are far from Islam a little less than Christianity are far from the true message of Jesus peace upon him.

ALLAH know what was best for the umma if Ali was elected he may never fought Musaylama the liar that claimed to be prophet , so abu bakr was the best to lead that's why they elected him .

Answer 3

The Last law bearing Prophet (sa) did suggest who would succeed him very clearly.

“Abu Bakr is the best of men after me except a prophet should appear.” (Kanzul Ummal)

“Abu Bakr is the best of the people after me except one who may be a prophet.” (Tabrani Kabir Kamil Ibne Adi quoted in Jame Saghir by Imam Suyuti, p.5)

“Abu Bakr is the best of my followers except anyone who might be a prophet.” (Dalmy quoted by Kanzul Haqaiq of Imam Mondadi, p. 7)

“Abu Bakr holds the highest place in this Ummah except that a prophet is raised amongst them.”  (Kanzul Haqaiqi Hadith Khair-el-Khalaiq by Alama Abdur Rauf, Munavi)

I would humbly submit that most clearly, the Prophet (sa) considered his closest companion, Hazrat Abu Bakr, Khalifatul Nabi I (rz), as his successor.

EDIT:

@Asker - Yes I know exactly what Hadeeth you're referring to.  It was when the Prophet (sa) was going to battle and told Ali (rz) to stay behind.  To reassure him, he (sa) told Ali (rz) what you quoted.  The purpose was to show Ali (rz) that when Musa (as) went to the mountain for 40 days, he left Haroon (as) in charge.  Likewise, the Prophet (sa) was leaving Ali (rz) in charge when he went to battle.  Hazrat Abu Bakr (rz) went with the Prophet (sa).

love for all, hatred for none

Answer 4

just follow the QUORAN...

Answer 5

You have shia beliefs, i believe in Koran and hadiths.

Answer 6

there are no 12 imams,JUST ONE GLORIOUS QURAN..rest is all conjecture ,fabrication and lies in hadith books

Answer 7

Prophet Muhammad PBUH never chose 12 imams. He hinted at Abu Bakr as the successor to lead the islamic nation. This was clear in many of his actions and sayings before his death. I think you did select the 12 imams. If he did then how would you explain zaidis and ismailis who differed with you about who is the next imam so they made a separate sect.  

Answer 8

Exactly bro! If you can follow Prophet Muhammad (saww), why can't you follow the Ahlebait (as)? But here's the problem. They include outsiders in Ahlebait lol..thas their biggest misconception. They would tell u they follow Ahlebait but they will tell u that aisha abubakr and such are included in the Ahlebait (astaghfirullah).

edit: Persian (Iranian) go ahead man...im with you! will help u out as well

Answer 9

"How can the Last prophet leave without choosing or at least suggesting anyone(s) to succeed him, or how can God not mention this"

"So isn't this insulting to the Prophet that he didn't at least have the same foresight as jesus to perform this very sensitive and important task"

"Abu bakr was nothing compared to imam Ali"

statements like these deviate from Islam....how can you even question Allah the Almighty? let alone the prophet?

vis-a-vis the imams...why associate the qualities of Allah with the imams?...only Allah has the power to give life and take it and it is in the Quran that all humans 2will taste death thus the return of Isa(a.s) amongst other reasons

Answer 10

Is this one of your beleif....?

"The Imams possess all the knowledge granted to angels, prophets and messengers"(Al-Kulaini, Al-kaafi, p.255.) "

Oh another too:

"The Imams know when they will die, and they do not die except by their own choice" (Ibid, p: 258.)"

PLEASE DO ANSWER ME

Answer 11

I am a sunni Muslim but I don't have enough knowledge to answer this,thanks.

Answer 12

well buddy Allah did mention it directly

"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good,

enjoining what is Ma'rouf (right) and forbidding what is Munkar (wrong).

And it is they who are the successful." [Qur'an 3:104]

So anyone who has the knowledge on Islam can spread the word of Allah, not just the 12 imams.  

The sahabahs spread Islam all throughout the world. Majority of their graves are not in Saudi Arabia but in other regions.  

Answer 13

"How can the Last prophet leave without choosing or atleast suggesting anyone(s) to succeed him, or how can God not mention this, albeit indirectly.

Why would isa (jesus) choose his12 apostles and not the prophet?!"

i don't know.  God knows best.

people can ask all kinds of questions.

somebody else will ask, why is there no prophet after Muhammad (pbuh)?

there are things we don't understand. things that are a test from God.

what you say doesn't prove shia'ism.

"So isn't this insulting to the Proohet that he didn't atleast have the same foresight as jesus to perform this very sensitive and important task .

as we see now and in history people have usually chosen the wrong people to lead."

we have the Quran for guidance and his (pbuh)'s example, which is more than enough for us to handle.

talking about insulting the Prophet (pbuh), don't you think it's insulting to say that 3 of his closest companions and those who took leadership straight after him would not be on the Haqq?

"There is a famous hadith even in the Sunni books of hadith that says:

Prophet Mohamad told Ali, you are to me like aron (harun) was to musa(moses)."

God be pleased with Ali and with Abu Bakr.

who's greater, who isn't, God knows.  do we really need to argue about it.  assuming that you can be wrong about what you're saying about Abu Bakr (ra), are you not afraid of what punishment you can have for disrespecting him?

at least sunnis don't disrespect Ali (ra) in any way but give him enormous respect and love.
