Question 4 - Was Abu Bakr jealous of Ali Ibn Abu Talib?  This jealousy is proven through historical events. 

Two examples:  

1- Revelation of Surah Al-Bara'a (Surah Taubah) When the Prophet made treaties, the Muslims went for Hajj the next year of the treaty of Hudebiyah. This first group of Muslims was led by Abu Bakr. However, as the non-Muslim tribes broke the treaty, Allah revealed Surah Al-Bara'a and asked the Prophet to convey the message to the Kufar of Makkah. The Prophet asked Abu Bakr to inform the Meccans when he reaches there. However, Angel Jibrael came from Allah and asked the Prophet to either convey the message himself or someone like him should convey it.   

Even though Prophet knew what Allah meant, he explicitly asked Jibrael, who should do this work. The angel replied Ali Ibn Abu Talib AS. So the Prophet asked Imam Ali to rush and take the leadership of the Hajj caravan from Abu Bakr and convey this message to Abu Bakr. Once Imam Ali took the charge, Abu Bakr got really angry. Instead of completing the Hajj, he returned angrily to the Prophet and didn't complete Hajj for Allah.   

According to some narrations, he even didn't say Salam to the Prophet and asked why did he ask Abu Bakr to give over the leadership.   If there was no animosity, he could've just continued the Hajj and submitted to the Prophet's saww command.   

2- Revelation of the verse about raising houses  

When this verse was revealed, Abu Bakr pointed towards the house of Syeda Fatima Zehra and Imam Ali AS, asking if this house is included. The Prophet replied that this is the best of those houses.   

Why would someone ask about some other house than his/her own house when a general verse is revealed? It is just out of curiosity, love, or hatred. We have seen that from the above example, Abu Bakr didn't have love for Imam Ali AS otherwise, he would've continued the Hajj. So the only justification is that he was jealous and wanted to know whether this house is included or not to make him feel better (if not included).

For 1400 years Shias, Muslims who claimed that they were following the Sunnah of the Prophet, butchered the Shias of Imam Ali AS whether in India, Abbasid, Pakistan, Salauddin, or Afghanistan and other times. After 1400 years the truth is coming out about Syeda Fatima Zehra is because of those who carried and transferred this message. At this time, it is the responsibility of every Shia who is living in a society where they are free from fear of life, family, and sustenance. We should highlight all atrocities across the Ahl-e-Bait AS to ensure that this message sustains through the ages and becomes apparent to all. So that whoever dies after this, dies on baseerah.

Remembering the instance when Syeda Fatima Zehra was standing and defending her husband. She probed those who were listening and those who were sitting in the seat of the Khilafat. These usurpers not only denied her rights but was also belied in front of the silent Muslims. Fast forward 1400 years, these people were revered and the atrocities against the Lady of Heaven were hidden. But things have changed over the past 2-3 years. Now for a period of 45-60 days, these usurpers are highlighted and cursed all over the world wherever there is free speech. All the coverup of 1400 years has gone to waste. 

The sequence of events from the Quran that led to Prophet Musa taking Bani Israel out of the oppression of Pharoah is very similar to the sequence of events foretold about Imam Mehdi AS e.g. the dua, the small group, army follows them, swallowed by Earth. Furthermore, the selection of the Shias of Ahl-e-Bait AS is very similar to the selection of Banu Israel i.e. selection based on knowledge and serious tests

Question 3 - Was the attack on Syeda Fatima Zehra planned or accidental?  Many companions had the idea that they would not be able to achieve their goals till Syeda Fatima Zehra was living and standing with Imam Ali AS. However, some of the events led to an incident that was far worst than one can even imagine, showing their true inner attitude and hatred towards the Ahl-e-Bait AS.  

After the beyah of Abu Bakr, many people who rejected the Beyah and supported Imam Ali, used to gather at his house. So the house of Imam Ali AS and Syeda Fatima Zehra AS became a symbol of the resistance. Like any dictator, they could not deal with the opposition and decided to harass the opposition. The Prophet saww had ordered to use Shura but the used force.  

Umer was given full authority to bring down the opposition. He pushed his way through the door of Syeda Fatima Zehra after burning the door like a tyrant's police. This broke the door and Syeda Fatima Zehra was behind the door. When he realized this, he pushed the door to squeeze Syeda between the wall and the door. This shows his hatred towards the household of the Prophet.  Imam Ali AS jumped on Umer and threw him on the ground. He was about to kill Umer when he remembered the will of the Prophet to observe patience and let Umer go. 

Abu Bakr not only condoned the event, he also sent additional reinforcements to arrest Imam Ali.  Syeda Fatima Zehra was assaulted three times:  1- Inside her house 2- When she protected Imam Ali AS from being taken away 3- In the mosque of the Prophet

2nd Question: How can the companions of the Prophet, who had fought with the Prophet, turn back on the allegiance that they made at Ghadeer?  The simple answer is that this wasn't the first time that they had turned back on their allegiance to the Prophet. 

Here are three examples: 

1- Breaking the Beyah al-Ridhwan (Allegiance before the Treaty of Hudebiya):   When the Prophet went to Makkah for Umrah with 3-5K companions, Quresh didn't allow him to perform Umrah. Prophet asked all Muslims to renew their Beyah/allegiance to him under a tree outside Makkah. All of them agreed to accept Prophet's decision whether to fight or agree to a truce. This resulted in the Treaty of Hudebiyah. However, many turned against the Prophet in 2 days including Umer.   The Prophet ordered the companions to break their Ahram and offer sacrifice. They refused to do so without going to Makkah. The Prophet was very upset and went to his tent where Hazrat Umm-e-Salma was accompanying him. She asked about what is making the Prophet sad. Upon learning, she recommended that the Prophet should break his Ahram and offer sacrifice. Once he, Imam Ali and a few companions did that, other followed.  

2- Breaking the covenant at the Battle of Khyber  On Day 1, Abu Bakr was given the flag and went to fight with the army but retreated. On Day 2, Umer was sent but retreated. This continued for 39 days. Then on the 40th day, the Prophet gave the flag to Imam Ali AS, who didn't retreat. Rather defeated the army of Khyber.  In Surah Ahzab, Allah mentions that the Muslims (companions of the Prophet) have their allegiance that they will not return without a fight but kept running back for 39 days. Thus breaking their promise to the Prophet.  

3- Rebellion against Usama  The top companions declined to go fight under the generalship of Usama bin Zayd when the Prophet asked all the senior companions to leave Madinah with the army of Usama except for Imam Ali AS. They argued that Usama was young.   The Prophet condemned them and said that you did the same against his father Zaid bin Hairitha when he was made the leader in the battle of Mutah  The people did the above things and broke the covenant of the Prophet because of their nature. 

There are two reasons why they ignored the allegiance of Ghadeer:  1- The thought of the Prophet as a regular human like themselves who only became a Prophet when he received the revelation. But Allah says in the Quran that Prophet is a Prophet all the time  2- It was part of their nature to be attracted towards power, authority, and Pride. They wanted to get absolute power, pride, and authority by removing Imam Ali AS from Khilafat.   They showed their inclination towards the above even before Islam. For example, when Quresh rebuilt Kaaba and the question was raised about installing Hijr Aswad, they all disagreed and were about to fight/kill each other. But then the Prophet resolved the issue by putting Hijr Aswad on a piece of cloth that all leaders held so that it was brought close to the Kaabah and then he himself installed Hijr Aswad.

Overview of the series

1- Muslim government was set up in a fertile area. Love of this world is cancer in society. 

2- What about people who passed away in a time when knowledge was not available easily? 

3- What about our responsibility?

Allah says in Surah Al-Insan that Allah created humans and guided them towards the right path whether a human is appreciative or thankless. But since everyone is not following the right path, many are not on the right path. What was the right path? Covenant on the day of Ghadeer. Syeda Fatima Zehra struggled to protect this message. No one can change others when people do not follow. Prophet's responsibility was to convey the message. Therefore, it is important to know the audience and how to approach them.

The atrocities that befell Syeda Fatima Zehra AS are a universal truth. However, many people in the world don't know about them, ignore them, deny them, or are ambivalent about them, as if nothing happened. This is true for both Shias of Ahl-e-Bait AS and non-Shias. So, the first thing is to understand who is the target audience that we want to enlighten about what happened to Syeda Fatima Zehra. This is not the entire world population or those Muslims that are adamant about denying what happened because their affairs are with Allah. The audience of this message is the Shias of Ahl-e-Bait AS. 

There are four groups of Shias: 

Bringing the Shias of Ahl-e-Bait towards the right path is one of the Best Deeds a person can ever do in their life. This is the goal of the discussions.

Bringing the affairs of Ahl-e-Bait AS to life in the context of the Battle of Jamal, Syeda Fatima Zehra, and the injustice that happened to them. Some people argue that we should keep quiet till the Imam comes back. A scenario of the 12th Imam. All Muslim narrations claim that one Imam Mehdi will come. Should we prepare or keep quiet? What does preparation mean? Vocal, highlight the affairs of Ahl-e-Bait AS or stay quiet? It depends on everyone's own circumstances e.g. Taqayyah or non-Taqayyah. Scenarios of preparation for the 12th Imam and the narration regarding preparing the equipment for the cause of Ahl-e-Bait AS
