History

Ahle Bayt

Q: In the books of ahadeeth, there are numerous instance like Hadeeth e Kisa or the incident of Mubahala where there is only the presence of Hazrat Fatima recorded. Whereas Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) had 3 more daughters, and during these two incidences at least 2 daughters apart from Hazrat Fatima were alive. Apart from these two incidences, there are many hadeeths in which the position of Hazrat Fatima is extolled and there is hardly any reference of Ruqayyah bint Muhammad, Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad, Zainab bint Muhammad. They also don't feature among the Ahle Bayt, wherever that reference is found in the books of hadeeth.

Ibnu Taymiyyah

Q: My question is pertaining to Ibnu taymiyyah. He is someone that deemed the Mongol invaders of the Muslim world to be non Muslim as they didn't rule according to the Law of Allah, he didn't say the same though about his own rulers even though they were not exactly entirely applying sharia and he was loyal to them and never instructed jihad against them. Did he do so on the grounds he thought it is wrong to fight the ruler or did he not deem his rulers as non Muslim in the same way he did the Mongols and if so why didn't he deem his own Mamluk rulers also non Muslim for not ruling by the Law of Allah?
