Más información sobre el libro

Saqifa authored by famous scholar and historian late Allamah Murtaza provides an in depth analysis of the historical texts regarding the incidences that took place at the Saqifa Bani Saida during the last days of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and immediately after it. The conspiracy of Saqifa led to establishment of caliphate and isolation of Banu Hashim from the leadership of Muslim ummah after the death of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The author has cited from all the leading Sunni experts of hadith literature and history from earliest sources after the demise of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and proved that Quraish because of their enmity and tribal prejudice against the family of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) (Ahl al-Bayt) conspired and deprived Banu Hashim from the leadership of Muslim ummah after him. Worth reading book for interested scholars and researchers of the history of Islam and curious minds to explore the reality of early Islamic caliphate.
