How do we respond to the following doubt: "Islam was tied to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); while he was alive, the religion was practiced on earth in the best of ways"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : How do we respond to the following doubt: Islam was tied to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); while he was alive, the religion was practiced on earth in the best of ways, but when he departed to his Lord (Mighty and Majestic), disturbances spread among the Companions and battles took place, such as the Battle of the Camel and others, even though they were from the best of the generations, as mentioned in the hadith, and what happened happened. Also, we ask for an answer to the second doubt: how do we respond to the second doubt? What was the first doubt? I did not understand it.
Al-Id al-Abassi: How did the Companions differ, even though they are the best of the generations? He is saying, and we also ask for an answer to the second doubt, even though I did not understand the first doubt, O questioner. Who is the questioner?
The questioner : Who is the questioner?
The questioner : ... The first doubt is that I am saying a person is a communist, meaning that as long as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that the best of the generations are the first generations.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And battles occurred among the Companions.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : In many battles among the Companions in the best of the generations, even though it was inferred that there were no battles taking place, the absence of... battles... Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Mu'awiyah and others, this is a narration...
The Shaykh : Well, Islam in the era of the Messenger was better, of course, than what came after, and what came after was better than what came after that. So what is the issue? What is in it? It is relative. This text, when the Messenger says, it means that no one steals, no one commits unlawful sexual intercourse, no one strikes the other on the cheek.
The questioner : The issue of killing in battles is not an issue.
The Shaykh : I am following the topic, according to my logic, whether it pleases or not. Does it mean that nothing that should not happen occurs in these generations?
The questioner : Of course not.
The Shaykh : Of course not. Follow through, then condense these points to reach the knowledge of the answer. Does it mean that because this generation and the Companions are the best of people, that nothing like what happened occurs from them? It does not mean that, but this means that if all the generations were gathered, it would not be possible for a generation to exist that is better than this generation in which the Battle of the Camel took place. The Battle of the Camel ended, Islam settled, and all people felt secure, while the lands governed by communism, first, saw blood flow like rivers in the millions, and then the matter continues with them suffering severe torment, but in the manner of slow strangulation. So what brought what?
Al-Id al-Abassi: After that, Professor, there may be a note that in this Islamic history, there is something added of lies and fabrications, distorted, as the Orientalists did with violent distortion. So, if Islamic history were clarified as it should be, the reality is that much of these delusions... most of these differences.
The Shaykh : The meaning is correct, the speech is correct.
The questioner : Read the book Al-Awasim min al-Qawasim.

The best of the generations is my generation
