`Uthman’s appointment as khalifah
May 20, 2015The martyrdom of `Uthman
May 25, 2015
The words of the third rightly guided khalifah `Uthman radiya Llahu `anhu “I do not want blood to be shed for my sake,” will continue to echo through time; telling the tale of the oppressed khalifah who despite having the armies of Islam and great companions of Rasulullah salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam ready to answer his call, chose to honour the blood of those very people who refused to show him the same favour. Hereunder follows the heart-rendering tragedy of the martyrdom of `Uthman that threw the ummah into disarray and chaos, from which it has not yet recovered to the present day. The fictitious tales which the enemies of Islam have crafted to distort the image of this illustrious companion have also been dispelled and the true sequence of events brought to the fore; a priceless gift for the seekers of the truth.
