Amīr-al-Mu`minīn Sayyiduna ‘Umar al-Farūq رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ had appointed a special judge in his court who was none other than Amīr-al-Mu`minīn, Sayyiduna Maula ‘Ali رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ. Whenever such a problem would arise, Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ would call him and mention the problem to him, then Sayyiduna ‘Ali al-Murtaḍā  رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ would solve it.^[1]

Sometimes Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ  وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم would solve extremely difficult cases in such an easy way that Amīr-al-Mu`minīn Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ would praise him. Let’s listen to a faith-refreshing parable about this.

Importance of Sayyiduna ‘Ali to Sayyiduna ‘Umar

Once a woman who was declared guilty in the light of Shar’i witnesses and evidences, was brought before Sayyiduna ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ, so Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ announced the decision for her as per Shari’ah, but by chance he رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ could not pay his attention to a special aspect of the case. When Sayyiduna ‘Ali al-Murtaḍā رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ paid attention to this aspect, Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ took his decision back and said: ‘لَوْ لَا عَلِیٌّ لَھَلَکَ عُمَرُ’ If it was not for Sayyiduna ‘Ali, ‘Umar would have been destroyed.^[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! May it not be the case that after listening to the foregoing parable we start speculating about religious rulings and tell people about rulings by guessing or start settling their disputes or cases by using our own assumptions in religious matters. Remember! This is the job of only Islamic scholars and jurists, therefore, we should seek guidance from Islamic scholars and respected Muftis at all times as per the Madani thought given to us by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه. Let’s observe the way of Sayyiduna 'Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ regarding this.

May I not be where Maula Ali is absent

Sayyiduna Abū Sa’īd al-Khudri رَضِىَ اللهُ  عَـنْهُ narrates: “Amīr al-Mu’minīn, Sayyiduna
