Iceman
you really are stuck, divinity flakey imami leadership has no base.
You want to put shura against some fake divinity leadership ideology,this is your fallacy, you do realise shura is not a system of governance but it was the way prophet saw usedit and Quran urged it. This is our point. It's more closer to Quran and sunnah than divine Imamate leadership which has zilch coverage in Quran and sunnah.
If you cannot COMPREHEND or UNDERSTAND well that's not my issue, I have you Quran and sunna as evidences and yet you couldn't.............which means I AM BASING my evidence from Quran and sunnah and you are basing your evidence from HUMANS born 100's of years later.
That's IT.......you have nothing!!!
You can carry on all you want with different angles and sob stories and stretching meanings of verses in Quran to accommodate the made up theory of divine Imamate leadership.
As for using it,shura, yes they all used it as previously posted before.
As for the side issue I have answered if you care to look for it........yazid wasn't a rashidun khalifa and he has NOTHING to do with shura.
Your clutching on straws if your gonna use yazid, honestly I thought you would be more intelligent than that.
Honestly 😂
Another post full of rant and rave. Here we go agian;
What are the principles and circumstances concerning Shura?
What is the method/procedure regarding Shura? There has to be a particular way to conduct it. Or are you that I'll informed about what you believe in.
The first was elected/selected coincidentally and it was a hasty decision. Like I said before the Shaykhain rushed towards Saqifa to stop the Ansaar from going ahead and chosing their own leader. And one thing lead to another.
The second was appointed by the first. Oh yes, the first appointed his successor. And the second arranged a six man committee to choose the third just amongst themselves.
So how do you conduct Shura? What is the procedure/method? What are the principles and circumstances? Just because Yazeed turned out to be a bad person Shura is disappeared in thin air? If he turned out to be good the you would most definitely be beating the drums and blowing the trumpet of Shura.
Do you have any standards? Come on, it surely can't be that difficult to answer . You can RUN but you can't HIDE!
ok, how to conduct shura consultation......hmmmm......YOU CONSULT, you (ask, seek advice/information from, take counsel from, call on/upon/in, turn to). LOL.
"Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by MUTUAL CONSULTAION among themselves; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance" [are praised]. Quran 42-39.
Thus it is due to mercy from God that you deal with them gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you; pardon them therefore and ask pardon for them, and take COUNSEL with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in God; surely God loves those who trust.quran 3-159.
khalif Abu Bakr ra was selected by shura; His hand was raised by Umar ra and the parties agreed, then they CONSULTED with sahaba ra same with Umar ra He was by nomination. The current Khalifa may nominate his successor, the next Khalifa. The people have to accept him just as in the first case. If the old Khalifa appoints someone unworthy out of ulterior motives, the people must reject that appointee.
Uthmaan ra became caliph in a similar manner, when Umar ra delegated the appointment of the caliph to come after him to a shura council of six of the senior sahaba ra who were to elect one of their number. ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf consulted the Muhaajireen and Ansaar, and when he saw that the people were all inclined towards ‘Uthman ra, he swore allegiance to him first, then the rest of the six swore allegiance to him, followed by the Muhaajireen and Ansaar, so he was elected as caliph by the decision makers.
Whether it was six man or 2 man or the khalif himself who selects his choice to put forward for the shura it doesn't matter as long as they consulted with each other and wanted the best outcome for the umma, read the verses of Quran above it corresponds with this statement.
There you have it from Quran and is the choice of Nabi Muhammad saw as espoused by the umma for choosing a leader.
compare shura to divine imam leadership, the latter has no base, no reality or no sense to be honest as well as not being mentioned directly like shura in the Quran.
see........no long essays or stories or angles for that matter, simple and easy, as our Lord Allah swt intended for us to understand it.
Pity it's not as easy to explain divine Imamate leadership theory to the Muslim ummah.
