Management of Imam Ali (AS) in Islamic Society in the Period of the Caliphs
The title is a research paper by Mohammadhadi Falahzadeh[1] and Razieh Aliakbari[2] published in “Journal of Islamic Denomination”, Volume 3, Issue 6 - Serial Number 6, Winter and Spring 2017, Pages 117-131. The following is an excerpt from its abstract. [3]
Management and society
Management is one of the most important factors that can cause societies to achieve their goals. Therefore it is all Muslims’ especially Shiite’s duties to help Islam and manage their relations toward other Muslims in order to preserve and defend Islam. So we can say that the best way out of the current difficulties is to maintain the solidarity of the Islamic Ummah, and the followers of Islamic sects should try to preserve Islam without any prejudice.
Objective of the article
Some radical Shiites believe any connection with them is unpleasant because the Caliphs have usurped the Imamate of Imam. Therefore the present paper examines the topic regarding some people’s viewpoint about Imam Ali’s 25 year seclusion.
Conclusion
The author concludes that because the Imam while protesting against the caliphs about his usurped right, he not only did not cut ties with them but also took the management of the Muslim community after the Prophet's death and while caliphs, were in the community, but in many matters had consulted with him.
