Question:
asalam
If imam ali a.s was given the title mowla by the prophet pbuh in eid ghadeer& there were many witnesses 2this such as hazrat ammar ibn Yasser abu bakr bilal umar and salman al farsi. also when he as was referred to the prophet pbuh as the gate of the city of knowledge which means he as after the prophet pbuh was the most knowledge & the prophet pbuh referred to him a.s. as brother so with all of these attributes such as master how come hazrat abubakr was the first caliph?
I heard that his as rights were usurped & that he pbuh never gave allegiance to hazrat abu bakr Ive read posts on this topic on this website before stating that we shouldn’t go into this subject I understand that but I still want 2know & the ahlulbayt a.s rights were also usurped the land of fadak was taken.
