The Battle of Jamal | Shia Sunni Panel Discussion | CIMS Islamic History (Part 3/3)

Please Like 👍🏼, Share ↪️ & Subscribe👆🏿 Shaykh Arif Abdulhussain, who after acknowledging that this was a sensitive and polarising event for the Muslims, went on to ask whether it was befitting for Lady Aisha to rise up and in the process oppose the Qur’anic commands[3], in addition to rising up against a legitimate caliph. During the discussion, further questions were also raised such as whether those who rose up were considered rebels (baghi) to which Qari Zahiruddin outlined a Sunni stance that during the battle they were considered rebels, however after the battle they repented and were thus exonerated from being considered rebels. In addition to this, the question was raised as to why the fighters against the first two caliphs were considered abandoning the religion (murtad) whilst the fighters against Ali were let off so easily? Also mentioned during the discussion was how this political incident has led theological implications, and how the Sunni may have to reconcile the notion of the companions being just & right (Adool) whilst them fighting each other? It was concluded that the event did cause tensions in the community, however, the actions of Ali ibn Abi Talib in dealing with Lady Aisha showed that he did so with utmost respect despite the far-reaching consequences of her actions. This is a learning point from us in emulating his character and learning from history. What is CIMS? Since its inception in 2015, as a joint initiative of a network of Sunni and Shia scholars, The Centre for Intra-Muslim Studies (CIMS) has been at the forefront of providing a platform for honest, open and critical engagement on issues of historical and theological tension amongst Sunni and Shi’i thought. https://www.cims.almahdi.edu/ 00:00 Intro 00:13 Sheykh Arif Abdulhussein 07:07 Dr Amra Bone 10:40 Qari Zahirrudin Tahir 11:37 Prof. Liyakat Takim 13:18 Shaykh Umar Ramadhan 15:24 Qari Zahirrudin Tahir 17:00 Dr Ali Reza Bhojani 17:57 Qari Zahirrudin Tahir 19:43 Prof. Liyakat Takim 22:14 Shaykh Umar Ramadhan 23:29 Prof. Liyakat Takim 25:00 Sayed Hamid 32:19 Qari Zahirrudin Tahir 34:39 Dr Fella Lahmar 39:18 Dr Amina Inloes 43:30 Prof. Liyakat Takim 47:01 Sheikh Hasnain Govani 50:44 Qari Zahirrudin Tahir 53:50 Dr Mohammad Khalid 1:05:52 Dr Ali Reza Bhojani 1:07:15 Shaykh Umar Ramadhan Follow us on Facebook:   / almahdionline   Instagram:   / amioutreach   Twitter:   / amioutreach   Website: https://www.almahdi.edu/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/almahdiinstitute Al-Mahdi Institute Access Islamic studies and Arabic anytime, anywhere: https://www.hawzaondemand.com/ Apply for the exciting & flexible AMI Islamic Studies programme: https://ami.is/apply If you'd like to donate to this or other AMI programmes click here: https://ami.is/donate #ImamAli #ShiaSunni #IslamicHistory
