Question:
This questioner says: One of the thinkers mentioned that the caliphate of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was a gap in history, and that those who rebelled against 'Uthman were closer to the spirit of Islam. This is in some of the books.
Answer:
Yes, this is in the books of Sayyid Qutb specifically; he is the one who made this statement. He was influenced by what he read and heard from the books of the people of misguidance, so he wrote this writing. If it was done intentionally, the danger is severe; and if it was out of ignorance, may Allah forgive us and him, but this is an error. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
